HUNDREDS STUDY RACE RELATIONS AT BLUE RIDGE MEETINGS HUNDREDS STUDY RACE RELATIONS AT BLUE RIDGE MEETINGS SUBJECT GIVEN A PROMINENT PLACE ON SOUTHERN CONFERENCE PROGRAMS. BLUE RIDGE, N. C., July 31—This summer, as for several years past, the study of race relations has been a major feature at the many important gatherings held at this popular conference point, and the interracial message has reached thousands of people in positions of influence and leadership. Among the meetings so far held in which the subject has had a prominent place have been the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Student Conferences, the Missionary Education Conference and the Y. W. C. A. Community Conference. In all these there have been group discussions or platform addresses featuring race relations, and great interest has been manifested. Dr. Mordecal Johnson, recently elected president of Howard University, presented the subject before the men students in a powerful ad dress that made a profound impression. Two colored students, Wesley Elam of Hampton Institute and R. I. Boone of Shaw University, were present by invitation as fraternal delegates and were entertained by the conference for several days, making a very favorable impression upon the hundreds of white students in attendance from all over the Southeast. At the Missionary Education and Y. W. C. A. Conferences, R. B. Eleazer educational director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, presented the cause on the platform and before a number of discussion groups as he did also at the Y. W. C. A. Industrial Conference at Lake Junaluska. It is generally admitted that one of the most hopeful trends in the South is the great interest which student groups are manifesting in this subject, as indicated by the fact that sixty curriculum courses in race relations are conducted in principal southern colleges, in addition to a great many volunteer study and discussion groups, Interracial speakers, white and colored are also being given frequent opportunity to speak on college platforms. The significance of this development is in the fact that the thoughtful, intelligent students of today who are interesting themselves in this question will be the leaders of tomorrow.

NO LONGER DOUBT There is no longer any doubt, but what Grand Chancellor W. B. F. Crowell is hopelessly enmeshed in this scandal Mr. Mitchell called attention to Page 30, beginning at the 14th line of Grand Chancellor Crowell's report. It reads: "I wish to especially mention and express my high appreciation to that royal good fellow, friend and brother, Grand Attorney W, H. C. Brown, who has ever been with me in perfect peace and harmony. Never has there been a discord. Without him I would have, and you as well, would have suffered for knowledge along legal lines. CROWELL'S PRAISE. "He has been faithful and true to me. Loyal and just to you. We cannot hope to adequately repay him, our financial and legal adviser for his services during the past two years, for which he has received no compensation.

The case of Susie Boyd proves that Richmond, Virginia, at least, stands for justice to the Negro. Susie forged twenty-two small checks, amounting to $183. Arrested on three indictments, she pleaded guilty and, without jury or even counsel, was sentenced by Judge W. Kirk Mathews to ten years on each charge, amounting to thiry years in prison. Thereupon a crop of protest sprang up, not as might be expected, from the Negro community. The white press of Richmond took a firm and dignified stand in editorials against the extreme sentence, and printed columns of letters of protest, some from Negroes, but most from whites. The News Leader in an editorial pointed out that on the same day when Susie was sentenced to thirty years for a forgery of $183, a white woman received a two-year suspended sentence for shoplifting goods to the value of $13,000. The Times-Dispatch asked the court's leave to join as an amicus curiae in a plea for a reopening of the case, which was made by H. W. Oppenheimer, a white lawyer, who volunteered his services, in Susie's defense. Finally, on the ground that Susie was mentally subnormal and did not understand her right to a counsel and a jury, Judge Mathews reopened the case and reduced the sentence from thirty years to six. The News Leader commends Judge Mathews for his courage in openly admitting and correcting a mistake. To this praise we gladly add our own hearty commendation of the News Leader, the Times-Dispatch and the citizens of Richmond. They made real the old theory that all are equal before the law.-The Nation. SARAH G. JONES' MEMORIAL HOSPITAL PLANNING TO BUILD NEW BUILDING SOON. The board of managers of the Sarah G. Jones' Memorial Hospital, 406 E. Baker Street, city, which hospital has functioned wonderfully with such limited means, has authorized a committee of three consisting of Dr. T. J King, Dr. M. B. Jones and B. L. Jordan to secure estimates from two reliable contractors for the erection of its new building ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS SUBSCRIBED LAST WEEK DY MR. CHAS. A. SOMMA. The Treasurer received on Thursday, July 29, 1926, a letter from Mr. Chas. A. Somma, of the Globe and Hippodrome Theaters, in which he subscribed one thousand dollars toward the new hospital building. The board is deeply grateful to Mr. Chas. A. Somma for this substantial subscription and entertains the hope that other citizens will follow his worthy example. The absolute necessity for a hospital for colored people where their own family physicians may treat them was never more apparent than it is today. Won't you send in a subscription today to save a life? Yours for service to suffering humanity. Sarah G Jones' Memorial Hospital Medical College and Training School for Nurses, Inc.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS HURCH BAPTIST CHURCHMAN BREAKS LONG SILENCE WILL TAKE CHARGE OF THE EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH, PITTSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 5TH. Rev. T. J. King, D. D., pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church, of this city announced from the pulpit of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, of Pittsburgh, Pa. last Sunday that he would take charge there on the first Sunday in September. He has not resigned his pastorate here and his friends here are puzzled as to just how he can do this should the Fifth Street Baptist Church finish upon the specific provisions in the Baptist Church Directory, which adviser that three months notice on the part of either the Church or the pastor must be given. It is presumed that in view of his long service and success in raising finance that this provision will be waived on the part of the Fifth Street Baptist Church. TAKES POISON IN ERROR (Preston News Service.) Columbus, O., Aug. 6--Mrs. Mable Hallway, aged 28, 1707 McClelland Avenue, si recovering at University Hospital from poison she swallowed Wednesday afternoon. No reason has been advanced as to why Mrs. Hallway took poison. It is said that she was feeling ill and took the poisoned tablets by mistake. A NICE SUNDAY OUTING THE ROYAL SAVING CHORUS SHOWS PUBLIC HOW TO RUN SUNDAY BOAT. Rev. Ernest C. Smith Commends- Club for Clean Outing. South Richmond, Va., July 12, '26. The Royal Saving Chorus, an organization of young men of South Richmond, deserves much credit for the type of outing which they gave Sunday July 11th. I know that many professed Christians and high Churchmen do not believe in Sunday pleasure, as they call it. I do not believe in Sunday death. I believe in Sunday pleasure so long as it is conducive to spiritual as well as physical and moral welfare Jesus would have us to know that things which are not against us are for us. The outing given by the above named organization was beneficial from the three angles stated. Physically it was good. The breeze which came from the rippling waves of the old historic James was so refreshing that it made one feel that he or she had just come fraom the river of joy, after being baptized Morally it was fine. The writer had the pleasure in talking to the entire party from the subject, "The Dynamics of Success." It was ours to talk in a very frank way concerning the evils of the modern dance as detrimental to success. But what I consider to be a singular victory morally is that the organization promised to cater to church people and they did. They had to fight against many temptations and undergo many handicaps however in doing this. There were so many church people who did not believe that they would keep their promise and run a sacred boat, since the usual custom was dancing and folly. But these gentlemen kept their promises in every respect. Two jazz orchestras followed by their jazz hounds and ball fans came down and promised to swell the crowd if they would be allowed to dance. Put they were quickly informed that their presence was not desired. The writer was given full charge of the boat and was asked to report any irregularity with the assurance that it would be remedied forthwith. Better order could not have been found in the most fashionable church. Then spiritually it was excellent. The Club was at its best and gave the guest a wonderful feast on good spiritual songs. They fed us with songs until the gang plank was thrown down and we landed back in Richmond. It was in every respect an excellent outing and we thank these gentlemen for arranging an outing to accommodate church people and conducting it in a way that respectable people were not embarrassed by worldly folly.

THE sudden riches that oil brought have made little change in the life of "Granny" Crowe, 67-year-old woman who has a little place near Owensboro, Ky. She still does her own housework, wears gingham dresses, refuses to ride in an automobile or travel outside of her county. She doesn't do the plowing any more. But probably this is because there is no longer any plowing to be done. Eleven oil derricks are scattered over her land, pumping up the "black gold" that has brought her wealth. Two years ago, Mrs. Lucinda Crowe had practically nothing. She was born on the farm from which her rich income is now flowing. She married, had seven children and twenty years ago was left a widow. Boys Left The rocky, barren land yielded a poor living when there were the six boys to work it. But they married and left home, leaving "Granny" Crowe and her daughter Clara to make their own way. But they were discouraged not at all. In fact, they decided to buy up the interests of the other six heirs so that the 157 acres of hills and underbrush would be all their own. There was only one way to do it. That was to sow and plow and market their produce themselves. For years they worked the little spots where cultivation was possible. "Granny" held the plow and Clara led the recalcitrant and emaciated mule. Land Worn Out Finally the little bank account had grown to $600, and with this they bought up all of the other interests in the farm Later. Clara married Ed Blickett. By this time the land was practically worn out and would produce but little, no matter how hard Blickett worked in cultivating it. There HA, HA, HA! TH' JOKE'S ON ME!

The house is heated and lighted by gas from one well, and the gas from the other holes is allowed to escape, or is burned like a torch to keep down the odor. Each month there comes a check from the pipe-line company for $1,000. It is divided by Mrs. Crowe into nine equal parts. To the six sons who married and left her go six of the shares. Her aged brother, her daughter and herself get the other three. If she kept what rightfully is hers, "Granny" would be rich.

He had not received a license from the Board of Bar Examiners of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virgin- ia and he was taking money that could only be legally receipted for. by a regularly practicing member of the bar in this State. Dozens of colored attorneys were being set aside by this action and W, H. C. Brown is facing prosecution for receiving a compensation for le- gal services. W. B. F. Crowell, out of his own mouth will help to ‘con- viet him, for he says in his report that it was given for his being the financial and legal adviser of the Order. NOT LAWFUL On page 43 of the official minutes line 5, W, H. © Brown received $150.00 for ‘legal services. Mr. Mitehert stated that under the Grand Lodge Constitution, the Grand Chan- jcellor had no legal authority to take money from the Grand Lodge treas- ‘ury for travelling expenses. This must be paig by the lodges in the section visited, yet Grand Chancel- lor Crowell and Grand Attorney Brown had charged up “travelling expenses.” On page 42, of the Grand Lodge ‘Minutes for 1925, there appears un- der date of December 6, 1924, W B, F) Crowell, travelling expenses, $126.00; W. Ht. C. Brown, March &, 1925, travelling expenses, $56.14. This is outside of the $60000 taken by W. HC. Brown and Joseph R. Pollard, either the one or the other of them from the female Depart- ment, the Grand Court and the $100 taken by W. H. C. Brown for legal services, the latter during the month of June, 1926. OTHER CHARGES. SEE oer aie paid to W. H. G. Brown for legal services and in violation of the law anq the ten percent. being held out: side of the treasury at Staunton, Va. and amounting to $2,079.96, ali for legal services. It would seem then that Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green will be in Virginia long enough to satisty himself as to the accuracy and truthfulness of these charges, which are now a matter of record, both in the Order and in the courts. It is being generally undor stood ang appreciated that had not Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. and his friends notified Supreme Chancellor Green and he had not promptly notified Supreme Attorney S. A. T. Wat kins, it would have been a tong time before, he would have received the 313.000'00 which he haq to borrow fo loan to the Grand Lodge of Vir- zinta TREASURY EMPTY. It was reported that the treasury of the Grand Lodge was empty and that the $1,200 certified check was not sufficient to take care of the delegates and officials here looking for their money. It was stated that an attempt was made to borrow money from the female department but it failed. In the meantime, it the tem percont collection is permit ted to go through, W H.C Brown, who Crowell lauded to the skies and who had not been inside of a Grand Lodge as a member in more than 25 Years until this trouble, and J. R. Pollard, who admittedly has no been in the Order for that snace o! time, will have drawn from the Grand Lode in its sickiy Anancta condition.

HEAVY FALLING OFF, | ‘There was a reason for there be- ing no money in tue treasury. On age 46 of the 1925 Grand Lodge Minute, the number of lodges in good standing was reported to be 171 and at Staunton, in 1926, the number in goog standing was 35. The membership was 5,278 in Portsmouth and the Supreme Lodge tax requested was $5,100, advance tax for four years, The past due un- paid endowment claims were approx imated at $7,000.00. This too, ac: counts for the S, W. Green frog story. In the meantime, Grand ‘Chancellor Crowell was recommend- ing $500 payments, saying that $1,800 per year just kept him in clothes ang announcing that in the Grand Lodge, “he would put it in high and step on the gas.” «... “STEP ON THE GA&” He has since found out that he has not the money to buy the gas, To Pythians here, the opinion is that a conference must be called at once of the discordant elements, confidence restored under new leadership or the Pythian interests in this State will be destroyed. Letters are com. ing here enquiring if it is true that Of the $29,799.46 collected, by Joseph R. Pollard, attorney, only $2,000.00 was placed in the treasury of the Grand Lodge, to be drawn out by the orders signed by the officers of the Grand Lodge or whether it went there to be signed only by Joseph R.

Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man. SIGHT By An insider Reprint under copyright rights reserved exclusively by the author.) "WITHIN PRISON WALLS." (Editor's Note: "Within Prison Walls' in this issue was written by a young colored man, of good family and training, who for obvious reasons is withholding his real identity and who due to his ability, served (during a course of ten years) in his positions (as an inmate) one of which has never been filled by any other inmate of any race. During this series he will dwell intimately on certain phases of prison life that are rarely, if ever, disclosed to the public.) (Continued from last week.) Normally it was a twenty-four hour ride but being winter and with heavy Christmas traffic and snowdrifts it was a day and a half before we arripped at Marquette. At one point in the trip the temptation to commit violence and secure my freedom preyed very heavily upon me. The two deputies would take turns in going to sleep. I figured correctly that if the one on watch would consent to take me back to the diner to get a supper, at my expense, that I could man-handle him between coaches, throw him off and later escape before his partner would awake. I planned it out thoroughly and using the suggestive and persuasive powers formerly used as a "con" man I tempted his appetite and he consented to take me to the diner. Everything worked as planned but when I got to the vestibule door my conscience rebelled and while I was willing to take almost any chance I couldn't do violence, so the plan died abortive. SATURDAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS On arriving at Marquette the two deputies, neither of whom had made such a trip before, were like children in a maze. It was a Saturday night, the Saturday before Christmas. Alighting from the train the holiday crowds were everywhere about. Everybody was in good cheer but me. One of the deputies called up the jail to send a patrol wagon. They were told they had none there, also that I was a prison charge and not a jail charge. They actually did not know what to do. I suggested to them that they call a taxi and to our surprise they had none there in the winter, as they could not navigate the hills, so they called a livestock stable and got a sleigh. While waiting for same I induced them to let me go in a corner drug store and buy a diary. The girl clerk looked at me, saw my hand-cuffs and suggested, that possibly a five year diary would be suitable. 'Twas applicable all right but what a cruel suggestion. THE ARRIVAL AT MARQUETTE. Eventually the ride in the sleigh to the prison began. The prison was some four or five miles from the depot and at night and in a sleigh in and over hills was some ride. I talked the deputies into removing the handcuffs from me just before we reached the prison as I said the effect would put me in better standing with the officials than to have me arrive there with two deputies and all maneuvered up like a wild man. On arriving at the prison about eight-thirty at night no one knew which entrance to go in and through his mistake we got into the Wardon's private residence and were literally thrown out of same. Finally we got in the right entrance and funny as it may seem, due partly to the fact that I was dressed right up to the minute in tailor-made clothes and a new tailor-made chinchilla overcoat I appeared the more business-like of any of the trio, the official in charge thought I was the deputy bringing two prisoners as he walked up to me, asking me for the papers of my charges. If there had been but one deputy I undoubtedly would have grabbed the papers he had in his pockets, presented them and flew, leaving the deputy for the prisoner. As it was I had but to smile and let them do the explaining. PLACED IN THE "BULL P#N." Well do I remember my entrance to that prison on that Saturday night. The prison band was playing in the chapel and being rather facetious I remarked that it was nice in them to have the band there to receive me. I was led through the guard room into the hall-master's office when a little dried-up apology of a man in plain clothes actually apologized to me for having arrived at night and there being no one there to regularly receive me and that he had no other recourse under the circumstances but to put me in the east end, known as the "bulpen." Very politely he asked me to leave my overcoat, top-coat, vest and can along with any valuables I wish preserved there in the hall-office—not even making a pretense to search me—and thence escorted me to the "bull pen." This proved to be a circular steel pen, divided into eight sections, in one of which I was placed. Again he apologized for having to put me there and was very solicitous in seeing that I was made comfortable. I took it all as irony. I couldn't connect such treatment with what I had heard of the "Siberia of America." There were some other men undergoing punishment in the other cells and I was soon in a conversation with them. I inquired about several acquaintances I had known originally in the county jail in Detroit and having established some friends in common was soon one of them. They told me of the prison, how it was run and what to steer clear of. I was elected a good fellow and retained such title. LECTURED BY THE WARDEN. The following Sunday morning I was called into the Deputy's office, where the Warden wished to interview me. It seemed that my reputation had preceded me. Certainly the Warden knew all about me and he gave me for two hours one of the cruelest lectures I have ever had the misfortune to listen to. He attributed my downfall to having too easy a time at Jackson and he was going to make a man of me by putting me through the mill. The prospect looked anything but rosy. I returned to my "bull pen" cell and reflected that I now was going to experience "Hell in Prison." On Monday I was taken out and dressed, going through practically the same routine as on my arrival at Jackson. Was assigned to a cell and told I would remain there till they sent me to work. At that time he had no dining room in Marquette the food being passed in large pans and buckets past your door and served from there. The cell, in direct contrast to my first cell in Jackson, was large and roomy, being about six by nine. It had no conventions however but at least it was clean I had some money on arrival and the hall-master gave me five dollars in prison script which represented money and told me I could have more later on. It seemed strange to have any kind of money on my person in prison but as I later learned it was Warden Russell's policy to make his prison as much like outside life as possible as he felt that the psychological effect on the men proved more valuable and made them more accustomed to self support. That evening in my new cell I was to learn of the most remarkable system of administering a pris on that I had, ever heard or read of. COLORED PRISONERS IN PLOT. By that time word had gotten to the parties of whom I had inquired when I was in the bull pen and after their days work was over they came up to my cell to shake hands. One, a white boy, then and thereafter proved to be a true prison friend. He told me that the colored boys already knew of my coming and had planned against me before I ever got there as they were afraid I would get a "front office" job there too as I had in Jackson and as that was something away above the average jobs allotted to colored men they didn't want to see me, a newcomer, come there and pass above them. My white friend told me that they had already sowed the seed of discontent among the officials by letting them know that it was I who had just a half year previous written a special feature article which appeared in the Chicago Defender describing how well the colored boys got along in Jackson and that I was coming to Marquette to secretly write up the contrast. I am ashamed to admit that these colored boys, who were in "power" in the prison would rather that they go their way never achieving any job of merit in the prison rather than to let a stranger get in and surpass them. Of the trouble they caused and its outcome I will dwell later. PRISON MERCHANTS. he men had not been in from the shops long when the odors of frying hams, steaks, delicious coffee, etc. came wafting past my cell, and readily did I assent when a man came to my door and asked me if I wanted to buy a supper. He gave me my choice of pork chops, ham or bacon and eggs or a steak. Can you imagine it dear reader? If I hadn't already smelled these odors I would have been justified in thinking the man crazy. However he brought the supper and took my order for hot cakes and coffee for breakfast. That same evening no less than a dozen prison merchants passed my door offering to sell everything from home-made candy to silk socks, ties and shirts ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA PITTSBURGH URBAN LEAGUE WORK FOR NEGROES EXPANDS (Preston News Service.) Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 6--Miss Grace S. Lowndes, of the stag of the Urban League of Pittsburgh, who, for the past eight years has acted as social worker among Negroes at Morals Court, has been transferred by the league from her work at court to a larger field, that of general work among delinquent Negroes in the city. The Urban League, organized for social work among colored people, maintained Miss Lowndes at the Morals Court for the purpose of demonstration and experimentation. Miss Lowndes this month, in co-operation with the Morals Court, has begun a study of causes contributing to Negro delinquency, court procedure and treatment and results obtained. It is hoped that her new work will ultimately be adopted in co-operation not only with Morals Court, but with other courts in the city dealing with Negro problems. On the basis of the study Miss Lowndes is now making, the Urban League proposes to build up a city-wide program for constructive efforts to decrease crime among Negroes and to facilitate court procedure. The Urban League is now under new management and has taken on new life with increased activities. The work done in the past has demonstrated the need of such an institution. FULTON NOTES Notwithstanding the warm weather and a number of church-goers on their vacation, we had a creditable gathering last Sunday. Our pastor, Rev. C. A. Cobbs, delivered a powerful sermon, using for his discourse, "The Sabbath." At 3:30 P. M., as usual, the attendance was very large, the Lord's Supper was administered by the pastor. Tomorrow is woman's day at Calvary. A very interesting program has been arranged for the occasion. The females are requested to live $100: the males 50 cents. July 27, 28, 29, the following ministerial brethren preached at Calvary and delivered some powerful sermons: Revs. A. W. Brown, J. H. Roots and J. A. Brinkley. Rev. Brinkley was present at 8 P. M. with a large number of his deacons and members and also a full choir who sang to the delight of all present. The Rev. V. Meeds, who is pastoring in Battle Creek, Michigan, has been in our community for about two weeks. He preached at Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church last Sunday morning and Rev. C. B. Jefferson preached at night. Both of these brethren are members of Calvary. We were glad to see Prof. G.

Hayden: Thirteen years ago twoive 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 before 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 have spoken to many of my friends and they say they are going to send for a treatment. I think it is a great remedy. I do not suffer with my pains as I used to and my appetite is just fine and I sleep much better every night and feel fine. 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 canonment. I predicted inst 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 Paril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeemen 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 errors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and parrotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.
