MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, IR THE RICHMOND PLANET GRAND TREASURER CARTER ANSWERS CRITIC Consulted Official Head in Choosing Depositories SON KILLS STEP-FATHER In South Richmond. GREEN GETS 15 YRS. FOR WIFE MURDER VOLUME XLIII, NO. 29 GRAND Cons SON GREEN SON STABS IN FIGHT Willie Edward Booker age 23 years, stabbed William Booker, his stepfather, with a carving knife, making a wound, from which he cried. The affair took place Saturday evening, May 22 at 1915 Bainbridge Street and the inquest was held this afternoon, (Monday), 20 o'clock. The case was called in the Police Court, Judge H A. Maare presiding and continued until May 28. Funeral Director Cunningham has charge of the remains. CORONER'S JURY MEETS. The coroner's jury with Coroner Broadax presiding, convened at the Third Police Station South Richmond at 3 P. M. The coroner stated that there were four separate wounds in the dead man's body, one about the collar bone, the other one just below the sink in the neck and two others to the left between the third and fourth ribs. One broke the second rib. The last described, wounds were very deep Capt. John M. White was sword and deposed. "About 8:20 P. M. Saturday, I received a call, "Go with Childress to 1915 Bainbridge St." I went there, being in civilian clothes LYING ON THE PORCH "William Booker was lying there and the ambulance doctor was working on him. The wife said her son William Edwards who is as so called William Booker had stabbed her husband in a fight. He was dead when I got there. He was ying on his back stretched out on the front porch. I afterwards arrested Willie Edwards and he said that he did it. If he had not cut Booker, he knew what would happen to him. William Booker and his mother were in an argument and he was protecting his mother" THE WIFE'S STATEMENT Rosa Booker, be sworn and deposed said, "I was sitting out on the porch and William was in the room running the victoria. I told him to come out and sit down. Mary Price was with me on the porch. He came out and said, 'You all she things sitting on the porch,' and he cursed and abused me. He then said 'I house. Then he went in and locked am going in and sit down in the door,' I said, 'Lord, what must I do. He then would not let me in, but later came out and ran after me. RAN IN THE YARD "I ran in the yard I said, I am tired of this. I am not going to stand it any longer. I am going to get a policeman and have him separate me. I had on my house slippers. It was raining. Then the boy came up and asked me what did I want. My husband said, 'I suppose you mean that you will give her what she wants.' He grabbed the boy and caught him. He choked him up side of the house. The boy had at first run from him. He caught him, choked and beat him again. The boy got away from him and he staged to the porch and I went to him. THE DEATH BLOWS "He said that Willie had cut him He did not know where. He had been cut somewhere. I never saw the knife. No, he was not drunk He may have been drinking that morning.

Interest Paid on Elks' Funds IN GRATEFUL MEMORY By A. B. CHAP 1918 1898 1864 HARRY PACE MISSTATES FACTS AS TO ELKS' FUNDS. In the issue of the "Afro-American" of May 22, 1926, Harry Pace, in his anxiety to again be Grand Secretary of the I. B. P. O. Elks of the World, makes the following statement: "The Order of Elks has around $100,000 in cash, $50,000 of which is on deposit in two white banks in Richmond, Va. One of these banks pays no interest whatever on a $17.,000 deposit they have had for nearly ten years, while another pays two per cent on $34,000,000 that has been with them for a long time." This statement is substantially repeated in the "Pittsburgh Courier," "The Amsterdam News," "The Savannah Tribune" and perhaps other papers, and is absolutely untrue, and made for the apparent purpose of misleading the brotherhood, hoping thereby to make votes for himself. As Grand Treasurer of the Elks, I have never put a dollar of their funds in a single bank which did not pay interest, the lowest rate paid by any of them being 3 per cent, and I challenge him to disprove this statement. With regard to the statement he makes that the Order has had a deposit of $17,000 for nearly 10 years without interest, I wish to emphatically deny this statement. When I was elected Grand Treasurer in 1913, only $1,833.50 was turned over to me. At the end of the session of 1918 (less than 8 years ago) the total worth of the Grand Lodge was $12,216.71. Not until 1922 (less than four years ago) has the Grand Lodge had as much as $17,000.00 in any one bank. Now I ask, in view of these facts, was it possible to have had $17,000.00 on deposit for ten years in any bank without interest? Another evidence of Pace's reckless disregard for the truth. Harry Pace has assumed to be a kind of historian of the Order, and it was only necessary for him to refer to the minutes of each session of the Grand Lodge since I have been Grand Treasurer for a verification of this statement and to see that, accompanying each of my reports is a statement snowing every bank in which the Order's funds have been deposited? and the amount of interest paid by each. Another Claring Misrepresentation. Pace further says: "I have sought for many years to have this money properly invested or to be distributed for deposit among the worthy banking institutions operated by our own people. There are only two obstacles in the way. "One of these is the Grand Secretary and the other is the Grand Treasurer, both of whom have blocked every effort to put any of this money in colored banks." Ever since I have been Grand Treasurer, I have never selected a permanent depository of the funds without submitting the name of the bank or trust company and any information I had as to its condition first to the Grand Exalted Ruler and the Grand Secretary for their approval. This is also a matter of record both in the minutes of the Grand Lodge and in the correspondence between these officers and myself. For more than three years after I was elected, every dollar of the Order's funds was deposited in two Negro Banks. When the funds began to grow so rapidly, and the information having come to me that kicks were being made about all the money being in Negro Banks it was decided, after the usual exchange of views among the above-named officers, to open an account 1927 Lawyer J. T. Carter, Grand Treasurer of Elks in a strong white trust company. In the meantime, three colored banks were also added as depositories. No other white bank was added as a depository until February, 1922, and then only after two of our colored depositories had failed. The funds are now deposited in three white, and five colored banks. The statement just made by me with reference to banks is of itself a sufficient refutation of this additional misrepresentation of Harry Pace. I will add, however, that, without recognizing the right he takes unto himself to dictate how the funds of the Grand Lodge should either be invested or deposited, as is indicated by the sentence: "I have sought for many years to have this money properly invested." I would like to call his attention to the plain provision of our law, which permits no investment of its funds by the Grand Treasurer, or any other officer, but plainly requires (page 10 of Constitution and By-Laws) that: "The Grand Treasurer * * * shall deposit the same (all funds) in the bank to the credit of the Grand Lodge." It is true that Pace wrote me on the subject of adopting the Wage Earners' Savings Bank of Savannah as a depository, but the credit for bringing this bank to my attention is due to Dr. Clayborne, and not to Harry Pace, although the latter claims it. At the time the Wage Earners Bank was requesting a deposit. I was flooded with applications from numerous colored banks all over the country for deposits; and while it was my personal inclination to accede to their requests I felt that it was my duty to the Order to throw every reasonable safeguard around its funds for their protection. It must be borne in mind, too, that these applications followed the failures of several banks in which the Order had lost funds, which, however, were made good by my personal check at Newark.

RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Southwest to Mark Grave of Famous Outlaw Who "Died With Boots On" THE great southwest is planting to mark the last resting place of one of her greatest outlaws—Billy the Kid, who died with his boots on almost 60 years ago and lies buried in a grave only recently discovered. The Kid's last resting place is near Fort Sumner, N. M., in a bit of unhallowed ground superstitiously credited by natives with being haunted. A marker may soon be placed over it in plans which the New Mexico Historical Society is said to be considering. Twenty-One Notches The Kid was killed in 1881 when only 21 by Sheriff Pat Garrett, but not before the Kid is said to have notched 21 marks on his own six-shooter handle, each mark representing a victim slower on the draw than he. The Kid was the southwest's most notorious and at the same time, famous outlaw. Twelve other men, who died as he did—with their boots on—sleep in the same rough little cemetery Resting by the Kid's side are buried Charlie Boudre and Tom O'Follard, members of the Kid's band and names to be conjured with in the outlawry that reigned in the early seventies. Sheriff Garrett killed the lot of them and the plot where they now sleep is called "Hell's Half Acre." Every man buried in it was murdered. That's why natives consider it haunted. For two years after his death the Kid's grave was marked by a wooden cross bearing his name. Drunken soldiers shot this away and since "Dilly the Kid" (right), who had 21 notches on his gun, and Sheriff Pat Garrett, who "got" him. "Eilly the Kid" (right), who had 21 notches on his gun, and Sheriff Pat Garrett, who "got" him. then until it was recently rediscovered the spot was unmarked and searching tourists were unable to find it. Finger Writes History Walter Nobile Burns, who is one of those who added in finding the grave says the Kid made history as long as his trigger finger held out. Burns has just combined this history on the young outlaw into a book called "The Saga of Billy the Kid." The work combines a unique research at original sources that has made possible the first authentic biography on the Kid. Says Burns, whose home is in Chicago. "The Kid's career was a vivid drama and his adventures are among the classics of the frontier." "The love affair which drew him to his death is still a subject of gossip in that part of the country, and there are few more thrilling stories than his escape at Lincoln after killing his two guards." "Despite his crimes, the memory G of the boy outlaw who killed a man for every one of his 21 years, is today cherished in affectionate regard throughout the southwest." --- BUBBLING OVER another MAN O' WAR?

North 4th Street 311 North 4th Street Call Randolph 2213 AUTOCASTER The now seemingly certain abolition of the two-third and unit rules in Democratic national conventions indicates that the struggle for nomination between Wm. G. McAdoo of California and Gov. Al Smith of New York will no doubt be resumed in 1928 right where it left off in the famous 1924 convention at New York. Political prophets are already wagering that one of these two will be the Democratic nominee for the Presidency in 1928. PINCHOT PEPPER VARE AUTOCASTER It was a battle of giants in Pennsylvania last week when these three Republicans fought for Senatorial nomination at the primary election. The nation looked on with keen interest—because of the Coolidge and Mellon support of Sen. Pepper; Gov. Pinchot's rural strength; and Cong. Vare's one issue—a decided "Wet." Congressman Wm. Scott Vare was the winner. This Week By Arthur Brisbane The Post Office announces that fifty cities in the United States increased their postal receipts in April more than 6 per cent over the same month a year ago. Unfortunately, figures concerning use of air mail would be discouraging. It is necessary to warn ambitious cities anxious for air mail service that TO GET IT THEY MUST SUPPORT IT. If not they will lose it. The Government cannot run an expensive air mail service merely because cities desire it. Postmaster-General New and President Coolidge are anxious to encourage profitable commercial flying through development of the air mail. But cities and citizens must do their part. One air route recently established in the South, for instance, serving four important cities, started off magnificently, with receipts in the first brief period exceeding $2,000, ample to cover expenses. On the tenth day the receipts had dropped to $79, to meet an expense of $400. The financial solution will be found eventually in carrying passengers as well as mail, an arrangement to which the Administration would gladly consent. The first problem would be to find the passengers. Americans largely support flying routes in Europe, occupying more than half the seats in flying machines between London and Paris in the season. But they seem less inclined to patronize flying in their own land. Extremely important is the test for cancer recently presented at the French Academy of Medicine. If its discoverers do not exagger- ate, this test, providing a reliable reaction in cancer cases, will enable doctors to save thousands annually that now die by diagnosing cancer at the very start. This year 100,000 more automobiles are registered in California than in 1925. That shows prosperity and, what is more important, HAPPINESS. Some time ago, when all the world used fewer automobiles than there are now in California alone, men talked about automobile "saturation." There never will be saturation until every family has at least one automobile, as it should have, and then it will be necessary every few years to manufacture twenty-five or thirty million new ones to replace the old. Get YOUR car now. the conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South invites all modernists to get out. That applies to all, especially clergymen who do not believe "in a living personal God, the divinity of Jesus Christ and the virgin birth." That seems fair. There is plenty of room outside of any church for any belief in these days. Churches, like clubs, should have the right to control their own membership and rules, while carefully abstaining from any attempt to control other people and other things. In British coal mines where men are nothing, the aristocratic owner never sees the inside of a mine or the face of a miner. Only a few years since, English women, working in shafts too low even for mules or donkeys, dragged out the little coal carts, slowly painfully creeping on their hands and knees. A strap or chain around the neck, passing under the breast, was fastened to the car behind them. And not long ago a regular business in England was starving little boys that they might remain small enough to go down narrow chimneys and clean them. They were beaten if caught secretly eating. They died young, but the mothers provided plenty more. This earth will die as men and animals die, gradually going to pieces, the fragments helping to build other planets, as animals die and feed other animals, as trees live on would make of them. That day, fortunately, is millions of years away, according to scientists. Only twelve thousand years from the Stone Age, the human race has scores of millions of years ahead, years of ceaselessly increasing knowledge. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page by John Joseph Gaines, M.D. ECZEMA. This is perhaps, more frequently encountered than any other skin disease. There are many varieties and forms. There is eczema of the ear; of the palms and soles; of the scalp; of the leg, etc., and so on. There is no more distressing complaint than "universal eczema"—that is, where is covers all the body and limbs. One form attacks ared people below the knees, only The one constant symptom of eczema is itching. If a skin trouble does not itch, the probabilities are that it is not eczema. Then, eczema is usually a winter disease, being rare in summer months. Nobody seems to know the cause of eczema, but most agree that it is a true disease of the skin, and not merely a symptom of some constitutional disorder. Hence skin treatment is usually all that is needed. Of course if the body needs a tonic, it should be given. The first thing to do, and which is the great thing as well, is to remove every source of irritation to the skin. If sunlight irritates, stay in the shade. I saw a fur neck-piece produce a very stubborn case of eczema about the throat of a middle-aged lady which did not get well under proper treatment until she ceased wearing the neck-piece. Absolutely all sources of irritation must be studiously kept away from; if eczema attacks the body, look out for the underwear, or other garments that touch the site of the complaint. From this, we may conclude that no irritating medicines should be applied. Since we are at sea as to the infecting germ, we may use soothing, antiseptic lotions or ointments, with the expectation of benefit. The terrific itching must be relieved, because the act of scratching makes matters worse in the end.

Upon his return to London he fails to recognize. MARRABY, the girl to whom he is betrothed, Nan, broke hered, has returned home to care for three motherless stepbrothers. She calls to heed the advice of her friend. JOAN ENDICOTT, that she encounters of Peter's friend and fellow officer. JOHN ARNOTT, with whom Peter is resting at the home of Arnott's sister, not far from the Marraby estate, and at least of Arnott's sister and although she hates HARLEY SEFTON, a money lender, she her that Peter is his debtor, she her accepting his offer of marriage in order to settle her future once for and protect her father from threat of embarrassment, Nan hears that Sefton telling the villagers that they are engaged. In the village she meets an instance who invites her to help with function and then opines that Arnott's sister will soon marry Peter. I will figure to bring her self to walk on, walk on, and not give way to the overpowering sense of weakness that seized her. Then the mist lifted, and out of the silence she heard herself saying politely: "Really! How very interesting!" "One hears so much of these hasty war weddings nowadays," Miss Dudeney went on. "I don't know that I agree with them myself. As a matter of fact, I believe the glamor of the uniform and the romance of parting is more than half responsible for such marriages. But... well—people must do as they like." "Yes," said Nan, stiffly, "people "Yes," said Nan, stiffly, "people must do as they like." She echoed the elder woman's words, parrot-like. Of course, it could not really be of Peter they were talking—it was some other man. "And now do say you will come and help with the church decorations." Miss Dudeny said again, and Nan valge and had stopped at the gate. "As I told you Mrs. Mears is coming, and her brother—perhaps you know Mr. Arnott." "Yes," said Nan. "And I daresay Mr. Eyster will come as well," Miss Dudeny went on. "They say he is devoted—perfectly devoted. Goodby, Miss Marabry." "Goodby," said Nan; she just touched the thin, cotton-gloved hand before she turned and walked back. So Peter was going to marry Doris Marie. "I always knew it," Nan told herself, not realizing that she spoke the words aloud. "Somehow I think I always knew it," she said again hopefully. She wondered if Arnott had known it that morning he came over and asked if there could be any hope for a man who was not Peter; she wondered if it had been an attempt on his part to save her from pain and humiliation. "It was kind of him, anyway," she thought, drearily, "very kind 'of him." Of course, all the parish knew by this time of Peter's engagement; she felt as if they must all know, too, that he had once loved her, and that she was broken-hearted. The thought stung her, she would take the only way out and marry Marley Sefton. Nobody could be sorry for her then—Sefton was rich and sought after; he could give her money and everything she wanted. She wondered desperately if the things money could buy, and the pain he heart. She would have a good time—she would go about and see the world—she would make herself for- "After all, it's no worse than it would have been if Peter had been killed," she told herself; but she lnew that it was, a thousand times "oh I could die," she thought as she opened the little iron gate and walked up the garden path. The front door stood open—the little malt was hovering in the hall. "Please, miss, Mr. Setton is here." "Oh, is he?" she said stupidly. Then she began to laugh. She wondered if he knew of this dreadful thing that had come into her life. She took the pins from her hair she smoothed her rough hair; then she went on into the schoolroom. She stood by the fireplace. He was on paper, but he laid it down when she came in. "Good evening!" he said. "Good evening!" Nan answered. She looked straight at him. He was not such a bad-looking man, she thought, and he was well dressed. C23 R J SCOTT "Most women would go mad with delight over that." Some women would be proud enough to have him for a husband apart from his money-bags. She wondered if she really thought that, or if she were just trying to make things as easy as possible for herself. "I've been waiting half an hour," he said. "I'm sorry," Nan answered. He came a step towards her. "And—my answer?" he asked. She raised her eyes to his. So blue they looked against the startling pallor of her face. There was something pathetic in her whole appearance, and unconsciously his expression softened. "Are you going to marry me, Nan?" he asked gently. There was a little pause. "Yes, if you like," she said; and added, "Thank you," as if it were an after-thought. He did not attempt to touch her. He gave a sigh of relief, as if this were more than he had expected. "I am a man of my word," he said. "Tomorrow I will take you to see my solicitors. I will hand you over all your father's 10U's and—Lyster's—on our wedding day." Nan did not move. "You told me you would give them to me if I would be engaged to you," she said. He laughed. "Are you trying to drive a bargain with me?" he asked. "Very well, you shall have your father's tomorrow, and Lyster—the day you marry me." There was a note of determination in his voice, and Nan realized that this was the best she could hope for. "Very well," she said. She stood twisting her hat. "And when shall we be married?" she asked. There was no emotion in her voice; she did not care in the least how soon she was married. His face flushed. "You are putting everything on a --- very mundane footing." he said un- comfortably. "You talk as if it were just a business arrangement." "As it is—to me," she answered. "And there is another thing—the boy. I can't leave them, of course." He frowned. "We can make someb arrangement for them," he said quickly. "The two older ones can go to a boarding school—but I suppose the youngest is not old enough." Nan cried out indignantly. "Chaudie! Oh, I can't part from Claudie." "I haven't asked you to part from him," he answered. "Some arrangement can be made. I hear your father is away." "Yes; I don't know when he will be back." He half smiled. "He at least will be pleased." he asked. "Yes," said Nan. "I told him before he went away that you had asked me to marry you." He looked amazed. "You're a cool hand," he said, in faint amazement. "If that's all you've got to say," she began. "But it isn't." He came closer. "Nan, I've brought you a ring—at least, I've brought several for you to choose from." He took some little cases from his pocket and put them down on the table. Nan made no attempt to open them. He waited a moment. "Not interested?" he asked. He opened the snap of one case and showed her a magnificent half-hoop of diamonds. "Most women would go made with delight over that," he said, with satisfaction. "I don't care for diamonds," said Nan. She was wondering what she should do with Peter's ring. "I wish you would choose," she said again. "I would much rather you chose." He gave a little exclamation of annoyance. "What has happened to you?" he asked. "You seem to have lost all your spirit." He caught her hand as she would have turned away. "Don't you care a hang for me, Nan?" he asked roughly. Her blue eyes met his; she gave a little shiver. "No," she said. "You know I don't." She tried to free herself. "There isn't any need to pretend, is there?" she asked. "You don't care about me either, I know." "Why do you think I want you then?" She shook her head. "I don't know—because you thought I should be hard to get, perhaps: some men are like that." "I'm fond of you," he told her roughly. "I swear that I’m fond you—I’ve never cared for anyone else on my life." "I have," said Nan, with a queer, little laugh. He flung away from her impatiently. "It's that informal fellow Lyster. . . . Why can’t you forget him. I should have thought you would have more pride than to go crying for a man who has treated you as he has. Make up your mind to forget him." "I If hadn't," said Nan quietly, "I shouldn’t have said I would marry you, and now if you’ve quite done the work, I’ll like to go and put the box to bed." "You think more of those little devils than you do of me," he said feaiously.
