Walker, closed its 58th Annual and 4tr Biennial Convention in this city at the Salem M. E. Church, 129th Street. At no time during the sessions was unpleasantness threatened.

RICHMOND VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1925 ELECT WILSON ELK RULER AND CLEVELAND WINS The recent convention of the Grand Lodge of Elks will go down in history as being one of the stormiest ever held by that organization. It was not generally known that a fight was existing between Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, of Washington, D. C., and George E. Bates, Grand Secretary, of New Jersey. This was intensified as the Grand Lodge business proceeded. Grand Secretary Bates made a virulent attack upon the Grand Exalted Ruler and language was used that would not be generally tolerated in an orderly proceeding. In the meantime J. Dalmus Steele, of Manhattan Lodge, No. 45, prosecuted his candidacy, which was injured by the charge that he was a West Indian, although he was in Indianapolis. During the earlier proceedings, Grand Exalted Ruler's supporters were evidently in the minority. Col. Henry Liholn Johnson, that master political manager from Georgia, was charge of his campaign. There was nothing to do but block the meeting until a sufficient number of anti-Wilson delegates had left to bring the body back to "sanity." This he proceeded to do. As a compromise measure, it was proposed to eliminate both Wilson and Bates, but this was unsatisfactory to both sides. Then arrangements were made with Harry Pace, of New York, who had been an ardent anti-Wilson fighter to run against his own candidate, George E. Bates. This created constrainment in the ranks of the anti-Wilson fighters. The body had been held in session all night Friday and it was Saturday morning, when the fact was disclosed that out (Continued on page 4).

ADVISE YOUR friends to try The Planet; for one year. It is only $2. YOU CAN KEEP on going wrong if you will, but punishment will sure overtake you. SOME PEOPLE believe in deceiving other people. They will finally discover that they themselves are deceived. WE THANK our friends for paying their subscriptions to The Planet. It helps us and it ought to please them. THE ELKS had a good time here and so did some of the other people. Some others are grumbling however over the fact that the money left did not flow in a large enough stream $i_n$ either their front or in their back-ward. THE EARS of Director of Public Safety, Col. James R. Shepherd and, Chief of Police, Major R. B. Jordan should have tingled last week over the many compliments showered upon them by an admiring populace. As for Captain C. B. Samuels of the Traffic Department, he could be seen blushing like a school girl. To many observers he seemed to be ubiquitous. The visitors from various parts of the country, when they arrive home will have a hard time explaining the things they said agout the shortcomings of the police departments in their respective sections. THE WAR in Morocco continues with unabated fury. The French army is now commanded by one of the abest World War commanders. The result has sot been noticeable, for instead of decreasing the resist- anle of these Riflans, it has served to nerve them to greater efforts in defense of their home land. In the few weeks now remaining, the rainy season will set in and the Moors will go free from attack. They can move about during this period at will, while their enemies will be confined to their defense works to await the dry sweat, which will come next year. The expense of maintaining this army of unemployed will be a staggering blow to both France and Spain and frantir efforts will be made to end the struggle. The Moroccan leader insists upon complete independence and if he can hold out long enough, he will get it. It is stated that a war extending over a period of twenty-five years or more is not ing to these Africans, who are accepting the statement of President Woodrow Wilson about the consent of the governed at its full face value. ST. LUKES HELD GREAT (Continued from Page 1.) The matter of more widespread interest in the morning session were the reports of the R. W. Grand Matron, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker and the R. W. Grand Secretary-Treasurer Mrs. Emeline Johnson. Sho recited the fact that the Juvenile Circles were found in every State where a subordinate council had been set up, and that the membership was at present over twenty thousand children and the assets of the department were more than $80,000. Mrs. Walker paid a tribute to the Rev Mr. Z. D. Lewis of the Juvenile Department who had advocated its organization. When Mrs. Walker became R. W. Grand Secretary-Treasurer of the R. W. Grand Council there were only 25 circles with 1,600 members in the Juvenile Department. Today there are 780 Circles with a membership of more than 20,000. MAYOR HYLAN WELCOMES DELEGATES The adult department of the R. W. Grand Council opened its sessions on Tuesday morning with R. W. Grand Chief James H. Blount of Lynchburg, Va. presiding. After the devotionals conducted by the R. W. Grand Prelate, Rev Mr George H. Simms, pastor of Union Baptist Church New York City and preliminary business finished,' the Rev. William P. Hayes, pastor of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, delivered the anniversary sermon. Beginning with the afternoon session, the convention took a turn toward the business of the convention. At this session the outstanding features were the welcome address of the mayor of New York City, John F. Hylan. The response by Attorney James T. Carter, of Richmond Va. Grand Treasurer of the I. B. P. O. Elks of the World was pleasingly eloquent. The annual address of the R. W. Grand Chief, James H. Blount, was delivered at the afternoon session THE 27TH ANNUAL REPORT OF MRS. WALKER The 27th annual report made by Mrs. Walker showed that from the time of her entrance into the office of Grand Secretary-Treasurer, the assets of the Order had increased since 1899 from $31 to more than $2,000,000. The Order has $97,000 invested in good securities approved by the Department of Insurance of the States in which the Order is doing business, $138,000 invested in improved city real estate, including a modern up-to-date four story office building in Richmond Va., which nouses all of its departments. The office personnel has increased from one in 1899 to 54 in 1925. A complete printing plant is housed in the Home Office building and is doing work not only for the R. W. Grand Council, but for outside patronage. There are 16 people employed in the printing department, which also publishes and prints the St. Luke Herald, organ of the Order. Mrs. Walker reported the present membership as being 103,000. The remainder of the sessions were devoted almost entirely to routine business which was dispensed with great dispatch, enabling the convention to adjourn a day before the scheduled time. According to the program as arranged, a short but impressive memorial exercise was held during the morning session on Thursday. The memory of those to be eulogized was Russell E. T. Walker, a lake, secretary of the I. O. of St. Luke, Mrs. Martha S. Morgan, Mrs. Mary Willie, both of whom were members of the Executive Committee and organizers of the Juvenile Department, and Victoria Moone, clerk in the Policy Department of the Home Office. Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., delivered the eulogy. The attendance at the convention exceeded 2,000 delegates from 24 States and the District of Columbia. The officers for the next biennial term as follows: R. W. Grand Chief, Mrs. Sarah Clarke, New York City; R. W. Grand Vice Chief, Mrs. Elizabeth White, Washington, D. C.; R. W.

BOSTON NEWS ITEM Boston, Mass., August 31, 1925.—The Colored Citizens Committee of Greater Boston and the Massachusetts Branch of the National Equal Fights League, Rev. D. S. Klug, executive chairman, meeting jointly, has issued the following public statement against the appointment of Marion O. Dunning as collector of the port of Sarnauch by President Coolidge. Speaking in behalf of the Colored American people, the Colored Citizens Committee and the Massachusetts Branch of the NationalEqual Rights League, which organization and the great majority of the race supported the Republican party in the last presidential campaign, feel compelled hereby to go on record and publicly declare that Colored Americans are surprised and filled with grave apprehension over the announced appointment of Marion O. Dunning, as collector of the port of Savannah by the Savannah Coolidge in view of the press Press report that the Dunning is chief of staff of Ku Klux Klan of Georgia, a Klan delegate to the last National Democratic Convention, only turned Republican when and because the Democratic nominee denounced the Klan, represented the Klan interests at the Georgia legislature against unmasking, and is a leading figure at Klan headquarters in Georgia. Active Leader of Ku Klux In behalf of our race the Committee and League can do not less than complain of the appointment to high federal position of such an active leader of the Ku Klux Klan in view of the positive hostility of this secret-hooded order to the economic, civil and political rights and equality of Americans of color, and such selection. Republican leaders are discouraging, especially with humiliating color segregation at Washington still unabolished. collector at Savannah devoted to the Klan policies against Catholics, Jews and Afro-Americans means an official hostile to more than half of the inhabitants of his district. MR. AND MRS. EVANS RETURNS THANKS.

MR. and MRS. E. J. EVANS. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA ELKS ELECT WILSON ELKS ELECT WILSON of more than 1,000 delegates all had legt but about 650. Cleveland was in the race for the next meeting and was ready to support any candidate that would make this an assured fact. The Wilson supporters were not slow to take advantage of this. It was not known until after the body left as to just how many people had over-prepared. Some got as many as 35 and some others failed to get any. One party announced that $35.00 had been expended for a flat, $50.00 for cots and $1.50 for electric light bulbs and $10.00 for cleaning and no delegates were received, although the location was within a block of the general headquarters at 4th and Clay Streets. Some of those closely connected with the General Committee of Management resented the idea that white people contributed primarily to the management of the affair. The Columbus, O., Band serenaded the Planet office Thursday morning, much to the satisfaction of the management and the office force. In the afternoon at 2:30, the famous Monarch Band of New York, as previously announced, serenaded the Planet office and a large crowd of white and colored people gathered in the neighborhood. The Traffic Department sent officers in advance to handle the crowd. It was a magnificent affair. The concert by the Monarch Band on Wednesday night in front of the News-Leader Office will long be remembered. A huge crowd of white and colored people gathered there. The Planet's extras sold readily and it was impossible to print enough copies to satisfy the demand. Capital City Lodge kept open house, but as Williams' Lodge had the location of the General Headquarters, few delegates found the way there. We are presenting our readers with a cut of the property of Capital City Lodge. The Grand Lodge hold an all night sess $o_1$ at the Rayo Theatre and it was after 5 o'clock Saturday morning before the body adjourned. The roll call finally disposed of the bitter fight upon J. Finley W. Johnson, Grand Exeulted Ruler. He was elected by a 2 to 1 vote. Cleveland in a contest with Phil adelphia $o_2$ the next session of the Grand Lodge. George E. Bates was elected Grand Secretary and James T. Carter, Grand Treasurer. Practically all of the other officers were reelected. Serious disagreements resulted in the election of the Grand Temple officers. The vote for Grand Daughter ruler was close, Mrs. Laura E. Williams of New York being declared elected by a vote of either 5 or 15. It developed that 500 ballots were cast, although only 397 delegates were present. This trouble was referred to the Grand Exalted Ruler for him and his associates to decide. The candidates for Grand Exalted Ruler were J. Finley Wilson, of Washington, D. C.; J. Dalmus Steele of New York and T. B. Watkins of Kansas City. Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson and Hon. Perry W. Howard are reported to have huddled Mr. Wilson's cam paign. The Grand Lodge will re assemble at 11 o'clock this morning to finish business. While the public displays of the Elks have been sensational and gratifying, both the white and colored people, the meetings of the Grand Lodge itself have been stormy and troublesome to the members, Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, of Washington, D. C. has been the storm centre. He was overruled on an appeal from his decision and this necessitated his calling to his assistance Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, one of the most astute parliamentarians in the country. This took place Tuesday and on Wednesday another appeal was made and when the vote on the call of one side did not appear satisfactory to the presiding officer, it is alleged he did not call for a vote on the other side. This intensified the bitter feeling and when Grand Secretary George T. Bates of Newark, N. J. made his report ahead of that of the Grand Exalted Ruler pandemonium is alleged to have ensued when re open attacked his superior offer, reinforce his castigation with alleged facts. Then followed the report of the Grand Treasurer, James T. Carter. It was entirely satisfactory and was applauded. It served to "pour_oll on the troubled waterh". Wednesday the Grand Lodge session continued its winding way. Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson $ ^{n}$ replied to his traducers. He semingly did not strengthen his hold upon the delegates.

NATIVE AFRICANS SAID TO HAVE STOLEN $500,000 IN GEMS. (Preston News Service) Lisbon, Portugal, Sept. 3.—Portuguese police have discovered the robbery of diamonds valued at $500,000 in the Lunda Kingdom district of the Portuguese, West African Colony of Angola. A number of natives have been arrested there charged with the thefts. Lisbon police have arrested a Portuguese woman of good family who recently arrived from Angola on the charge of bringing stolen diamonds valued at $2,000 into Portugal. (Preston News Service) Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 3—William H. Daniels, grocer at Myrtle Avenue and Twenty-first Street, was fatally wounded by two hold-up men in rear of his store last Saturday night, met death at the hands of two unknown men a coroner's jury found. The jury sitting at inquest before J. C. Madison, justice of the peace, was unable to determine whether Daniels' attackers were white or black. A verdict of justifiable homicide for the alleged stabbing to death of Joe Mills by Jack Mobley, at Florida Beach ten days ago was brought in by another jury in the same court, Thursday. GETS ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS The well-known Virginian, Gen. Charles J. Anderson, left a will in which he bequeathed $1,000.00 to the Colored Young Men's Christian Association, of which John S. Powell is president and Rev. S. C. Burrell, secretary. He left the same amount to the white Y. M. C. A. NEW ORLEANS, LA., Sept. 4—All of the 33 persons indicted by a Federal grand jury here Thursday on charges of conspiracy to violate the national prohibition act furnished bond of $5000 each Friday. Many of Mr. Cohen's closest friends thought that the distinguished Comp trobeler of the Port of New Orleans was the victim of a gigantic frame-up calculated to remove him from office. Mr. Cohen was the first of the indicted men to furnish bail His bond is said to have been signed by Gus Oertling, a prominent white Republican. Mr. Cohen issued a statement Friday saying that he was "as much surprised as any person in New Orleans when I heard of the indictment", and adding, "I was at my summer home at Bay St. Louis when I was notified of it and I at once returned to the city". He terminated his brief statement with a strong assurance of vindication. It is said that certain southern white politicians have been greatly aggrieved since the appointment of Mr. Cohen to the position he now holds by President Harding and have made various efforts to oust him during his incumbency. It will be recalled that in 1924 an effort was made in the courts prior to the national election to have Mr. Cohen declared an alien and therefore in competent to hold a Federal office. This effort proved a flasco. Cohen'an appointment created a storm in the United States Senate and it twice refused to confirm his appointment. A hard fight last fg more than twl years his appointment was finally approved after Presidents Harding and Cooleidge had inhusted on it. In 1922 President Harding gave Cohen the first of three recess appointments and he served with ut pay until his confirmation. Among others indicted were Dr. L. A. Meraux sheriff of St. Bernard Parish; Capt. Joseph Johnson, of the New Orleans police department; Corporal John Conrad and Patrolman Paul Gilmore. Alonzo Patterson and Orthur Battisella, alleged heads of an extensive rum running organization. The conspiracy charge sets up the allegation that various persons named in the indictment planned to transport 4,250 cases of liquor from Havanna, Cuba to New Orleans. Three policemen were alleged to have assisted in the landing of the cargo. It is claimed that the liquor was carried from the ship in high speed motor boats said to belong to Paterson. Battisella is said to have been acting in the capacity of purchaser Furnishing information as to the movements of customs boats, is the charge made against Hon Walter L. Cohen. The indictment alleges that Patterton consulted with Cohen July 27 as to the wherebouts of a customs launch We note among the recent arrivals in our city, the presence of Mr. Alexander T. Anderson, of New York, one of the large real estate operators and furniture dealers of that city, who motored from their city in his handsome Buick 7-passenger car, together with his wife, Mme.

The address of welcome by Virginia's distinguished governor and the friendly sentiment conveyed as reported by the Planet is a disappointment to the writer and much beyond his dream or expectation. Instead of trouble and much humiliation on account of race and complexion, the great delegation came with many happy anticipations and left in peace and joy. It speaks well for the Southland and the friendly white people of the South's most refined and cultured city. Much credit is due to the Editor of the Richmond Planet for this great display of friendly sentiment of the white people toward the colored race. It has even been his contention that the better class of Negro and the higher class of the white race would get along without racial conflict. This is now demonstrated by the governor's great speech to the Elks' delegation and the treatment accorded the Elks in their great convention. ROBERT W. CARTER. 1101 Beacon St., Brookline, Mass. MRS.

SUPREME LODGE K OF P ASTOUNDS LOUISVILLE WITH BIG SESSION Louisville, Ky.-With the unanimous re-election of S. W. Green, of New Orleans, as Supreme Chancellor and the choice of Chicago for the 1927 Convention of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, the largest colored fraternity adjourned here Friday, August 21st. The great Camp, Camp Lawrence, held at State Fair Grounds, Kentucky's show place, and Marian Gen. R. R. Jackson's Pythian lodgers were on their way back home to tell of their greatest gathering. Fifteen thousand visitors followed the Pythians to Louisville. The sessions of the Supreme Lodge were held in the fine temple owned by Kentucky Pythians and for which it recently refused $350,000. The public meeting at which many welcome addresses were made was held at Chestnut Street C. M. E. Church, Mayor Huston Quin, of Louisville, made a happy speech of welcome, and as pointed out by Rory Cummins in his general fallout called "the race problem" and refused to discuss a race problem. He spoke as a man to men and women. The ovation given Green by the public was as warm as that always given to him by this great Order. FIGURES DONT LIE In his report the Supreme Chancellor let loose figures that do their own speaking. There are 294,222 members of the order, 185,291 kniens and 108,931 members of the Court of Calanthe. When he got into money Green was in his element. The Knights of Pythias claim and show total resources of $6,000,000. Harmony was apart of the general spirit of the convention and nothing Green asked for was refused him and his entire cabinet prospered in his popularity. Division of the Constitution of the Order was adopted by the Supreme body and legislation passed that will enable Pythias Commission of which Edward D. Green, Chicago, is Secretary, to complete Million Doilar Temple. Distinguished men composed the Supreme Lodge, which is the leading deliberative body among colored people. The Grand Chancellors, led by Willis of Texas, Andrews of Florida, Kickham of Oklahoma, Collier of New York, Blount of Alabama, and Crowell of Virginia, were all present while the Supreme Representatives were men first in the story of their states. From Georgia were Dr. R. Butler and Jos. H. Watson; from Texas, A. S. Jackson and L. B. Kincheon; from Missouri, Fred W. Dabney and Dr. William J. Thompkins; W. W. Adams, S. D. McGill and E. A. Pottederan from Florida; from Pennsylvania, Frank R. Stewart, from John P. Tucker, and the list goes. The Supreme Court of Calanthe met in Quin Chapel A. M. E. Church. Their Supreme Worthy Counselor, Ernest G. Tidrington, noted Indiana leader, reported resources of that Department to be $1,300,000. The Women's Endowment Fund amounted to $559,053. "The ladies," said Mr. Tidrington, "can accumulate money as well as talk." W. S. Willis of Texas, Grand Chancellor of the largest jurisdiction, reported as Secretary of the Supreme Endowment Board, a separate institution from the Grand Lodge Boards, that he had $106,289 in resources. Dr. E. E. Underwood, Supreme Keeper of Records and Seals, collected $80,000, in Supreme Lodge Funds for the term. T. G. Nutter, noted West Virginia lawyer, handled as Supreme Master Exchequer $150,000. Edward D. Green, Secretary of the Pythian Commission reported assets of that department at $84,652. It was all a story of progress and of growth in confidence. The encampment opened the eyes of white Kentucky, which journeyed off and stayed long to view the spectacle. The Louisville Morning Herald tells of the great parade in these words: of the great parade in these words: "The Pythian parade, led by Gen. Robert R. Jackson, member of the Chicago City Council and Spanish War hero, gave Louisville something to see and something to talk about. There were soldiers and delegates, men and women, covering over many a city block. They "put it on" for all who care to observe and seemed proud of both themselves and their parade." "Hundreds of white people looked and joined in encouraging applause. Martial strains from bands that knew how to take advantage enlivened the city and banished all sorrow from the race of many griefs. "The Lexington band that led one of the divisions let the world know that it was from Kentucky. It played continuously while many of the spectators helped out in "My Old Kentucky Home." It was a pretentious parade. 'We always do our best in Louisville,' said a high official of the order. The flag company, Palestine Company of Ohio, carried the emblem of the republic with all the pride of war and conquest." The election turned out this way: OFFICERS ELECTED Officers elected by the Supreme Lodge Thursday are; Supreme Chancellor, S. W. Green New Orleans; Supreme Vice-Chancellor, Ernest G. Tidrington, Evansville; Supreme Prelate, N. C. Fix, Charleston, S. C.; Past Supreme Chancellor, Dr. E. A. Williams, Cincinnati; Supreme Lecturer, Roscoe Simmons; Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, Dr. E. E. Underwood, Frankfort, Ky.; Supreme Master of Exchequer, Thomas G. Nutton, Charleston, S. A. T. Watkins, Chicago; Supreme Medical Registrar, Dr. Ullysses G. Mason, Birmingham; Supreme Master-at-Arms, George A. Watty, Baltimore; Major General, R. R. Jackson, Chicago; Supreme Inner Guard, J. A. Blume, Winston-Salem, N. C.; Supreme Outer Guard, D. G. Adger, Florida; Pythian Temple Commission, W. S. Wills, Texas; G. N. Stoney, Georgia, R. G. Gillian, Pennsylvania, G. W. Wickham, Oklahoma; New York, Dr. C. M. Made, Arkansas; W. W. Andrews, Florida; The Secretary of this Commission, Dr. Edward D. Green, of Chicago. Expectations are that when the Supreme Lodge reaches Chicago in 1827, the temple, which is planned to be the finest office building owned by the American Negro, will be ready for dedication and to house the body that provided it in the days of Starks and built it in the day of S. W. Green. WANTED—Position in office of some Negro Establishment, by a young man with two years of college training. Good references can be given. Address 140 Remsen Avenue, New Brunswick, N. J.
