MAY 17, 1923 Virginia VOLUME XLII, NO. 40 KILLING A Colo Fir GAY LIFE Detective on a Long Police A covered man, known to the underworld as Pollie Frances, shot and dangerously wounded a colored woman, named Ruth Glenn, Sunday night, 9th inst. A call sent into the Second Police Station brought Detective Sergeant Louis Bertuecf to 1006 Bacon Street, the scene of the tragedy. Frances is reported to have said, after he had shot the woman, that he would "wait for the law". When Sergeant Bertucci arrived in his car, Frances approached and asked if he wanted him. Just inside of his shirt, he had the handle of a revolver protruding. INSTANT DEATH. He must have drawn it as the officer immediately opened fire on him and must have gotten in two shots to Frances' one for Frances was shot thru body, bullet entering his liver. Frances' bullet struck the officer between the right eye and the bridge of the nose, producing instant death. The inquest was held in the City Hall on last Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock with Dr. John W. Broadnax, acting coroner. There was only one witness, Joseph Fountain, who stated that he lived at 417 W. Baker Street. STAGGERED AWAY. He said: "I am a porter at Allen and Glanter's Tobacco Factory: I saw the shooting on the night of August 9th. Pollie Frances said he would wait for the law. When Sergeant Bertucci came up in his car, he went to the car. Then I heard two shots almost together' booch! booch! Frances dropped to the ground and rolled over. Then he got up and staggered away. I went away too. Everybody was getting out of the way. Fountain laid on the floor to show the position of francs. THE MISSING REVOLVER "He insisted that there were only two shots. He believed that Frances fired first. He did not see anyone pick up Pollie Frances revolver. It seems that no one knew that Sergeant Bertucci had been shot. An officer came in and asked the other officers why they did not go out and look after him as he was out there "as dead a h—i". He was carried to Memorial Hospital, where it wascertained that he was dead, the bullet having penetrated the brain, producing instant death. This definitely established the fact that Detective Bertucci had "gotten the drop" on Frances and had shot him first. IN JAIL HOSPITAL It was at first thought that Frances' wound was mortal, but he has steadily improved and in all probability will recover. He is in the hospital at the city jail. Frances belongs to that class of the underworld known as police spotters and is well known to the police. It has been remarked that Detective Bertucci was "bitten by his own rattlesnake" Some of our subscribers are 23 membering us. We thank them WYTHEVILLE ITEMS.

Sidney Frazin, messenger boy, was one of the latter. But now he wears a habitual smile, in spite of the cruel trick fate tried to play him. Sid's father was a tailor, who trusted to luck for business. His business failed, and his family grew until there were seven hungry mouths to feed. Then Sid was taken from school at 16 and sent out into the streets by the father to help support the family. his father, who gave him a dollar a week for spending money. But Sid had a smile, and this smile was his making. This smile was not one of the ordinary kind. It was one of those rare smiles that speak of the joy of living and serving others. It spread all over Sid's face. This smile was trained to carry signs of pity or gladness. Pity for those receiving bad news, or gladness for those receiving good news in one of Sid's telegrams.

THE TROUBLES of the French in their campa ng in Morocco have been accentuated by similar clashes else were, notably in Syria, where their army has met with signal defeat at the hands of the war-like tribes of that country. As a result, troops en route to Morocco have been diverted and sent to Syria. To make the situation doubly complicated, the rainy season will soon set in and operations by the French troops will be impossible. — But we will give further extracts from Mr. Clarence L. S. reit's admirable article entitled, "Where the Rifle Defies the '75'." He says: "Where the French use the bat-talon of a thousand men as a unit, the French use nothing larger than a company of a hundred, and it functions rather as platoons of twenty-five and squads of five, and as individual sharpshooters. They have no Quartermaster's train of impediments only mules and burros to keep them supplied with cartridges. Each man lives upon the country, and his physical wants are very few and easily supplied by himself. "His homespun woolen cloak—the jelibia or burnous—is at once his uniform, his blanket and his tent. He is used to sleeping on the ground, to living in the ground in caves. He is not so far removed from the troglodyte as to look upon the dugout as a new-fangled product of the World War. He finds and cooks food for himself. He is not even paid. He turns in the war material captured to the central depots of Abdel-Krim and is content with the booty that remains". And again: "What effect does the up-to-date war machinery of the French have upon such an enemy? It is supposed to be effective in colonial warfare in two ways—morally and materially. There is a general belief that such weapons as heavy artillery, airplanes and gas must strike such terror in the untutored native as to make him fly or surrender at once. That was once true in Morocco. Hitherto it suffered for the French to fire only a half a dozen shells at the tribe in order to subdue it. But in this war all the strange weapons of modern warfare have been used by the French save gas, and have had no important moral effect. Why? They are no longer strange to the Riffilians. The novelty wore off for them during the four years they have been fighting Spain. The Spanials used heavy artillery, armored cars and tanks against them. They bombed them from airplanes and peppered at them with machine guns. They even gassed them. In a real sense the Riffilians have been going to military school under the Spanials. Before they engaged the French they had learned how to defend themselves against modern weapons". This then is a frank admission that the French have met their superiors in this kind of warfare. The writer continues: "Since they have failed to inspire awa, the military engines of our modern world must be judged in Morocco by the material results they have achieved. The Riffians do not seem to be greatly bothered. They are still slowly advancing as they have been doing ever since the war began. It is not that the French do not know how to use airplanes or artillery. They are probably the best aviators and artillerymen in the world. The difficulty is that they have next to nothing to shoot at in this war." But enough for this week. Colored people and white ones too, for that matter may well read this article with satisfaction and profit. Some way and somehow God enables his people even with primitive weapons to defend themselves against persecution and aggression.

SECOND AND MARSHALL STS., RICHMOND, VA. 1-BOOTLEGGING LABOR. 3-A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT. DOTLEGGING LABOR. From Naples, Italy, comes the word that the zealous police have invited another gang of clandestine emigration agents who have been engaged in the arduous task of sending "would be" United States immigrants over here, aided by cleverly-forged passports to Marseilles and Havre, from whence the new U.

Pv "THE CAMER^MAN." (Preston News Service) the Washington Irving country twenty years ago. It was not to be wondered that when physical action became a bit dull, Charles grabbed a newspaper pen and ground out news that had a punch. Charles moved into Little Ole New York where he entered the field of Negro journalism when it was in its infancy. Starting as "extra man" in the New York office of the Chicago Defender Magill soon brought up the New York Column to the Metropolitan standards. Being dissatisfied with the journalistic poise of the Negro newspaper world, Magill made an intensive study of the "selling" and "reading" power of news, augmenting his own equipment with courses of study in Journalism in a New York school. During his idle hours, Magill, having realized the need of coalition among the press staff of New York, organized the Manhattan Newspaper Association—an association of fraternalism, intensive study and journalistic ideals. The association is largely responsible for the high standard of ethics which now prevail among the Negro press staff of New York. Leaving the Defender to become Managing Editor of the New York News, Magill took over the sports and business sides of that thriving sheet, and in that capacity he has wielded a powerful bit just open wherever and whenever national Negro affairs have needed true record or logical argument. Among the younger journalisst of the Race Magill's work is outstanding in the development of a vigorous narrative style. His contributions to the Negro press have done much to stimulate the upward trend of the Negro world of news.

"There is a good deal of humbug about the Nordic SUPEREMINENCY, and touching the Anglo-Saxon superiority, though many cling desperately to such a belief", responds the editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer to the mournful monologue of President Wanamaker of the American Cotton Association, who recently said: "It may be gravely questioned whether America is any longer, in the fullest sense of the word an Anglo-Saxon nation. Eliminate the pure strains of blood that still continue to flow in the veins of the South and West, and it certainly is not so. In the South the Anglo-Saxon continues dominant, but even here there are millions of men of color, who have no adequate conception of what true Anglo-Saxonism is". And right there is where President Wanamaker spilled the beans as, the Cincinnati Enquirer thoughtfully admits. The millions of colored people in the South and elsewhere have no quarrel with those who would preserve the purity of Anglo-Saxon blood. And, quite contrary to the theory of President Vanamaker, they suite thoroughly unde stand the whims of the blood supremacy in the solid territory named by the cotton manufacturer. To them the Anglo-Saxon corpus cles speak in stirring terms of Jim Crowism, sought to be made applicable to every sphere of life traversed by America's black people. If this be supremacy, then God forbid its counterpart in any race. Rather be it true, as the Enquirer mildly implies to President Wanamaker "that America of tomorrow will not be Anglo-Saxon, but it need be none the less a land of free people—of democracy, freedom and independence". To which we would gratefully add "amen"—for even as Lincoln said a nation could not endure half slave and half free, neither can a country which is striving to merit the standards of true democracy endure while an element of its content is continuing to exact itself over another struggling element, "I am holier than thou" has no place in America—at least George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, General Grant and Theodore Roosevelt did not think so. And they were Anglo-Saxons, too. ```markdown ``` LOUISVILLE AT THE BEST. Louisville is really putting the Kentucky BRETHREN way up high on the way up racial endeavor.

Everything goes big in Louisville, from the most modest bootblack stand to the mammoth and tremendous life insurance companies. Of course, Louisville has prosperous race banks, in the American Mutual Savings Association, and the Standard Bank, but you'd never mark them as being any different from Andrew Mellon's or Murray's depositories, from the way they look and the way they are conducted. The Louisville merchants, businessmen and professionals of the Race had a prosperous, self-satisfied appearance which served to bespeak success. Worthless men seemed to be few and far between. The presses and linotype machines up at "Bill" Warley's, editor of the Louisville News, were clicking off printing jobs, etc. while he had his news staff busy getting the "sheet" ready for his readers, The Kentucky Reporter and the Louisville Leader seemed equally busy. . . . . . Courtesy and problems abounded up and down Walnut Street and the stranger within the gates was made thoroughly welcome.

Two men pointing automatic pistols at each other's hearts don't shoot. That only happens when one of them gets the drop. Mr. Aldrich, prosperous lawyer, is sued for divorce. His wife alleges cruelty. He replies, "My only cruelty was almost stoning her to death with jewelry." He spent $175,000 on jewelry, gave the lady $35,000 sable coat, a chinchilla coat costing $8,000, and securities worth $100,000. The lady replies that not sables, not jewels, not securities, not ever, the fur of the chinchilla, most interesting little animal, can give real happiness. She's right. But in this world we measure everything with money. The lady's lawyer, George Gordon Battle, demands for her alimony of $75,000 a year. The Court can give her that; it cannot give her love and affection. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN made many speeches worth heart, and the world applauded.

The British Government, to fight depression in British trade, will undertake international world advertising on a gigantic scale. This proves again what everybody knows, that Great Britain has statesmen working for her. Five billion dollars will be appropriated at first to boom colonial goods. The idea of the British Empire, solid and sound as a steel bullet, is that QUALITY, PLUS ADVERTISING, can overcome any trade depression. Anybody can stand poverty, because almost everybody is compelled to stand it. We have plenty of practice. Few can stand prosperity. Farm lands on the edge of Detroit have boomed, and farmers have sold out at prices never dreamed of. Now fifteen of the suddenly rich according to doctors, are nervously unbalanced. The shock was too much for them. In poverty they could have kept their balance indefinitely. Two young roughs, each a gang leader, engaged in a fist fight, and a blow on the head stretched Anthony de Lucca, seventeen, dead on the sidewalk. The police will do something about this, because it wasn't a "regular fight," with ropes around the hands, ruffians watching and gate receipts that make it profitable to violate the law. How long will the States disgrace themselves by licensing brutality? The marriage of a young girl in the Vanderbilt family has caused newspaper discussion. A Protestant Bishop performed the ceremony, although the mother is a Catholic and her daughters were brought up in the Catholic faith. All that is the business of the family and of those immediately concerned. But in one statement made by the family you observe the ancient wisdom of the Catholic Church. When young Mr. Vanderbilt, a Protestant, married Miss Fair, a Catholic, it was stipulated on the mother's behalf that all daughters born of the union should be brought up in the Catholic Church. There is wisdom. Daughters become mothers, influence the children and the men about them, and form the next generation. The church that has the mothers on its side is the church that will survive, for mothers create and guide the children and influence the men.

English baronet, suspected of the murder of his cousin, James Glenister, to obtain his title and estate, consents to a search of his lands, but— KATHLEEN GLENISTER, sister of the missing man, and her lover, Norman Slater, fearing Sir Dudley will attempt to further hide the body, and foll the searchers, shadow him. In the woods they meet— STEPHEN COLNE, former British cabinet, minister who persuades them that their attempt would be fruitless. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "I cannot expect more of you," replied the baronet. "Walt a minute, Grimes," he added as the velveten-coated figure turned to the door. "You know that the thing dropped by that cursed bird yesterday puts me under a cloud—that people are talking?" "I don't pay attention to chatter, sir. There are plenty fools in Beechwood vi." "And" Beechwood Grange," sheered Sir Dudley "See here, Grimes, you must have known my cousin George well. What was the row between him and the old man?" "I could not say, sir. It was kept very close," replied the head keeper stolld, though a reminiscent gleam in his sombre eyes belied total ignorance. "George was a bit of a spark with the girls, wasn't he?" pursued Sir Dudley. "Come, man you can speak freely to me without any fear that your name will be dragged in. It will make a lot of difference if I can get to the bottom of that quarrel. I have always thought that there was a woman at the bottom of it." "Neither Sir Philip nor Mr. George took me into confidence, sir. Was it likely, when even Miss Kathleen was kept in the dark?" With an impatient gesture Glenister waved his servant away, and his gaze after the receding velvetween back was as black as thunder. "It's a lonely furrow I've got to plough," he muttered, as he lighted a cigar and fung himself into a chain. Presently there came a tap at the door, and Mrs. Coningsby floated in. The pretty lady, hovering ever on the fringe of "society" without being of it, was a relic of Sir Dudley Glenister's stock-broking days. Culled from the "Daisy" chorus and espoused by his former partner, she had soon plunged into the joys of opulent widowhood, spiteful tongues alleging that she had killed her husband by setting him a pace he could not stand. What her little game was now was a bit of a mystery, but the same spiteful tongues credited her with a desire to share her present host's title. "Got a head, old boy?" was her elegant greeting. "I am sure I don't wonder. That horrid crow was a nasty set-back, eh? Pals must stick together when the red light shines." "You are a good little soul, Ivy, but you are all wrong if you think that I did my cousin in." Sir Dudley looked askance at his fair guest. "Oh. I will take your word for that." Reply. "And there is another pointer I can give you without waiting for developments. It is as well that you should distinguish your enemies from your friends. Your cousin Kathleen and Captain Slater followed you when you let the house last night."

The owner of the Grange shook off his apathy "I was aware that they had followed me, and I had the satisfaction of locking them out," he said. "You would do me a real service if you could tell me who let them in." But Mrs. Coningsby shook her head. "I wish I could tell you, but I only marked them down when they reached the landing on their return," she replied. "As to who admitted them to the house I have no idea at all. What about Doctor Melville?" "No, it wasn't Melville," replied Sir Diddley. "He has discussed the position with me, and he looks upon my fair cousin's attitude towards me with the amusement that might be expected of him. They either bribed one of the servants or they were artful enough to leave open some other means of entry in addition to the gunroom door. Kathleen is as thick as thieves with old Hinkley, the butler, and with several other of the old retainers." Mrs. Coningsby pursed her red lips in reflection. "It's beyond me, except that there's underhand work "GOT A HEAD, OLD BOY?" WAS HER ELEGANT GREETING. "GOT A HEAD, OLD BOY?" WAS HER ELEGANT GREETING. somewhere," she said. "Now I must run away and be sweet to my fellow guests." The company at Beechwood Grange needed someone to be "sweet" to them that day, for the social atmosphere was charged with electricity. Young Frank Glenister was the only member of the party who openly enjoyed the situation, but he joined the search at the outset and was not available for cheering-up purposes. After an hour's seclusion in the library Sir Dudley mastered his indecision and started off to overtake the gang of underkeakers and laborers who were "drawing" the estate with the ardoft of a pack of hounds. Kathleen and Norman played a little tennis and then the girl, finding the suspense intolerable, ordained a walk into the village. The hours dragged slowly on till the guests assembled for afternoon tea, which was served in the great panelled entrance hall Lady Marrabies was babbling to a bored audience about a bazaar she had opened, and Hinkley and a footman were handing round the trays, when the telephone bell rang sharply. Kathleen jumped up. Running across the hall, she darted into the telephone closet just inside the front door. In something under two minutes the girl was out again, white as a snowdrift* "It was Grimes, ringing up from the keeper's lodge," she announced.

Detective Inspector Wagstaff THE Right Honorable Stephen Colne was a bachelor, and when staying at his country seat he played second fiddle to the austere, middle-aged malden sister whom he had installed as chatelaine. But though he gave his sister a free hand in the ordering of his household, there was one reservation which she did not dare to transgress. His study was an inner shrine which even the grim spinster was forbidden to invade without invitation. It was here that Mr. Stephen Coline was sitting on the day after t... inquest on the unidentified human remains found in the chalk pit on Bare Acre Down. He was impatiently turning over some papers that had reached him by the morning post, but his glance strayed frequently to one of the windows giving on the drive. His pale intellectual face was set rigidly, but a gleam came into his tired eyes as his car rushed up the avenue and stopped under the Georgian portico. *The man who descended and approached the front door wore the black garments and conventional hard felt hat of an Anglican clergyman. A moment later Mr. Coline's butter announced him as "The Reverend Mr. Branson," though Mr. Coline had quite another name for the visitor when the butter had gone his ways. "Well, Inspector Wragge," he said, shaking hands with an air of condescension, "the commissioner made no difficulty about assigning you to the case, I presume?" "None what, sir," was the reply. James Wragge was one of the most formidable detective officers attached to New Scotland Yard. In what likeness his Creator had fashioned him probably no living being but his wife knew, so versatility and his assumptions of types and characters. It was a popular belief at the "Yard" that Jon Wragge wore some sort of a disguise in the privacy of his room at headquarters. Mr. Colne allowed the patent dryness in the inspector's reply to pass unheeded. Mr. Wragge selected a convenient chair and sat down opposite his host. "You will have gathered the salient features of the case from the London papers." Mr. Coline resumed. "There is no doubt in my mind that Sir Diddley Glenister faked the evidence of his cousin George's death in America, after invigilating him' back to England and killing him within a mile or two of his home. That is what you have set out to prove." The inspector had produced a memorandum book—a definy thing of gussia leather with gilt-edged leaves. "I have already laid a train, sir," he said, glancing at a nearly blank page. "I have cabled the American police to look up the death of the man buried as George Glenister at Lone Wolf City, Montana, and accepted by our courts as establishing the present baronet's right of succession. I only had an hour at my disposal before catching the train, but I ascertained that Sir Dudley was not out of England within a year of Sir Philip Glenister's death. If he procured the faking of the American evidence he must therefore have employed a delegate who proceeded to the spot. In a few days I ought to be able to lay my hands on his emissary." Mr. Stephen Colne nodded approval. "A judicious止, he said. "Incidentally, Sir Dudley has ordered all his guests but Doctor Melville to leave the Grange. Inspector Wragg looked up sharply. 1.

Agent) ROANOKE, VA., August 12.—The great annual excursion of the colored employees of the Norfolk and Western Railway Company spent a pleasant picnic Saturday, August 8 at Pulaski, Va. where about 6,000 persons assembled from Roanoke and Bluefield and other intermediate points. They enjoyed a grand day as the result of the benevolence of the Company. Rev. W. R. Howerton was at his best Sunday at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church. He had just returned from the Roanoke District Conference and was teeming with inspiration. His morning text as Daniel 12.3. At 8 o'clock Rev. Wallee, of the Stanton District, student of Payne Theological Seminary and College preached a splendid sermon from John 20:29. Grand Chancellor W. B. F. Crowell left for Pulaski, Va. to set up a Pythian lodge of thirty seven men. He carried a good team from Roanoke, including W. F. Hughes, the undertaker, in case of serious accident in making this new bunch. G. C. Crowell has in mind to build up the waste places in Virginia with new Pythian lodges. Let the good work grow. Mrs. Whitney Peters, the delegate to the District Conference rendered a very concise report of the work of the conference. It was inspiring to all. The work of Rev. Harris was especially noteworthy. He had built a nice brick edifice and a very small sum will cancel the entire debt. The connection would profit much had it a few more men like Rev. Harris. There is a woman evangelist at the Hill Street Church this week, preaching for Rev. D. R. Powell and his people. There will be an entertainment on August 18th, given by Miss Lottie Hale for the purpose of putting in the winter coat, for which the trustees were thankful. Mrs. M. K. Stanfield's millinery and ready-to-wear goods. Call at 630 Peach Road. Toll goods and perfumes of the finest quality. Planets here every Friday and Saturday, 5c. Rev. Moses preached at the High S-Baptist Church last Sabbath. It was a wonderful message to all who heard him. He is a fine gospel preacher. Mrs. Adams of Durham, N. . C. attended services at Mt. zion A. M. E. Church Sunday. Mr. Irvin Howard, 302 Seventh Avenue N. W. who is at Charlottesville Va. is reported getting along nicely. Mr. and Mrs. Rosa Crocker of Norfolk Va. left for home last week. Mrs. Crocker had planned to spend the summer with her sister, Miss Magie deHawen of 308 Seventh Avenue N. W., but Mr. Crocker got lonesome and came for her Thursday. Her stay was shortened in these parts. The time is almost here and the place is already here. We are referring to Mr. W. T.

After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible diseases, Gravel I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden 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 Medicine and try be fore being 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. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity I am. J. A. PAGE, 6 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va. 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 36th 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". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY. More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stewardess and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowomen As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for. THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY. THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War, and is absolutely fair to the Negro. 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 indis putable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops. A NEW REVISED BOOK WITH PEACE TERMS—750 Pages I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine, I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine had made me a perfectly well man to every respect. I cannot give Mr L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have many other affectionate him, and we also noticed cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indication by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine at No. 320 W Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommended Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully. J. D. TAYLOR 2419 B.
