The lynching of Raymond Bird at Wetheville has been under investigation, but on last Saturday the grand jury adjourned until the 16th when more witnesses will be examined. It seems that the body is having much difficulty in securing direct evidence as to the names of the men engaged in the murder. The jailer can furnish no direct evidence. The nauseating features of the case now convince everybody that a white jury could have been trusted to do what the mob usurped the right of the State to do. HOODED VIRGINIA WHITES WITH GUNS ABDUCT PRIEST (Preston News Service.) Norfolk, Va., Sept. 9.—The Rev. Vincent D. Warren a Catholic priest of this city, was taken captive last Thursday night by a band of hooded men in Princess Anne county, subjected to a grilling in an isolated woods and released with a warning after being held a prisoner two hours. The clergyman was unharmed by his masked captors, but there were cries of "brand the nigger lower" as he was being questioned, Father Warren told investigating officers today. He was questioned about his activities as a patron for a Negro boys' band and other Negro philanthropies. SOUGHT WITH FLASHLIGHTS More than 30 white men, all matted in Ku Klux Klan regalia, Father Warren says, stealthily approached the scene of the concert after the boys had been playing for two hours and were nearing the end of the program. Provided with flashlights, the hooded figures started a search of the grounds, locating Father Warren with two friends in an automobile. OHIO ODD FELLOWS' GRAND LODGE CONTRIBUTES TO N. A. A. C. P.

We have not commented at length ‘on the lynching of Raymond Bird, ‘V*» had no need so to do. The two Richmond, Va. dailies have exer- else.) an influence, which will have a Tor reaching effect. We have con- demned the crime of lynching for wmore than forty years, It is an at- tack upon organized society and does 4 hundred fold more harm than good, ‘To say that Raymond Bird deserved ‘dcath is but to say that the law should have been permitted to mete at ‘To carnally know a female under ‘14 years of age is rape, even with ‘the child's consent. Some people are disposed to be of the opinion that a white female in a relationship with @ citizen of color id always under 14 years of age, even though she has seen the light of the sun for a de- “wade. We have advised colored males to keep away from white women. When one is seen on a roadway, walk as far away from that one as you can get. eee Practice racial integrity in every wense of the word, Keep the black vace black and the white race white. “The white folks have mixed our peo- aple to such an extent, if you have a white taste in your mouth, pick a white colored female. There are plenty of them hereabouts. During ‘Years past and gone, it was a favor- ite expression, “Shin on your side!” We say to the white folks, observe this rule. (emma As for the colored, folks, you know Well enough the white folks will make you observe it. Again we re- Peat the warning to colored folks, “Shin on your side!” find out the Wytheville lynchers and lace them where they belong. “The ‘law in that section should be supreme. Governor Byrd, is doing his duty. Ponish the lynchers, =~ ~ Now they are t<lking about a Mar- cus Garvey organization without Garvey. You might as well talk about Hamlet without Hamlet, Great Brita'n without King Edward, Ger- many without Von Hindenburg, Hell without the Devil, Heaven without the Almighty. Start a new organt- zation with new leaders, but do not masquerade in this country as Gar- veyites without Garvey. If you can outlive your troubles, you can surmount them. ‘No one can tell when death is to come, but the outcome is peace. If you believe you are right, follow the main road for success awaits you. i Watch Your Frail, Puny Child Grow Strong - Take on Wt.

The churches and lodge rooms which are useq for Negro schools are chiefly old, dilapi- dated buildings, unfit for teaching purposes. In some cases, they have no means of getting light; . often there are no desks. ......In some counties there is not a single school buildig for colored children, . . .. The fact that there is great hostility towards Negro education is attested by the burning of schools in sev- eral sections.” ‘The September number of The Cri- sles contains an article on The Iusiness of Insurance Among Ne- eroes by Harry H.

A. A. C. P. PRO- TESTS AGAINST KLAN PAR- ADE IN CAPITAL ‘The Washington, D. C.. Branch of the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People has written to the Commissioners of tha District of Columbia asking them to Geny a permit for a parade which the Ku Klux Klan os saiq to be plan- ning to hold in Washington. The Klan parade was originally sched- nled for Philadelphia but permit there was refused, The letter of the Washington Branch, signed, by Neval H. Thomas, President, and A. 8, Pinkett, Secre- tary, is as follows, “Honorable Commissioners of the District of Columbia, “Gentlemen: “Through the daily press there comes to the District of Columbia Branch of the National Assoctation for the Advancement of Colored Peo: ple the information that you are again asked to fssue a permit that the Ku Klux Jian may parade the streets of our city on a date in the nionth of September of this year, From a like source comes the in- formation that this proposed public demonstration by the Klan ts to be held here ang not in Philadelphia. Pa. because the authorities of the City of Brotherly Love would not permit the parade. “About fourteen months ago we had the honor to call your attention to the potential evils of a parade by an organization of the pronounces un-American principles ascribed tc the Kian. “Subsequent developments have not warranted a change of by us ang we therefore again bring the matter to your attention and ask, in the Interest of good order that the permit be denied. ‘In our previous letter we pointed out that, according to pronounce- ments of the head of the organiza tion, its ma‘n purpose is opposition to anq proscription of the citizens of the Republic, and of those who are entitled to become citizens, on account of race, color, religion, and Place of birth, ‘The unusual character df the Klan takes it out of the category of fraternal organizations as ordi- narily understood in this country. it certainly is not a church, nor a subordinate organization of a church, and consequently the principles of freedom of retigious worship are not applicable to it ‘The purpose of this parade, as of the one held more than a year “go, is to spread and emphasize the epposition and proscription above referred to, ‘In view of these facts, it is not believed that the true a’ms and {deals of genuine Americanism are to be advanced by permitting the Ku Klux Klan to parade the streets of the Nation's capital, nor will such ® demonstration serve any public good.” DR.

Bosamond Pinchot, daughter of Amos R. E. Pinchot, niece of the Governor of Pennsylvania, retires from the stage. Her father, who has common sense, allowed her to act and she had great success in "The Miracle." No longer "interested in acting," the earnest young woman is "looking for serious work." What would Bertha, of "the smows of yesteryear," amount to if she hadn't created Charlemagne? Who would know Nancy Hanks if she were not the mother of Abraham Lincoln, or poor Abrotonon, if her Thracian blood, Celtic undoubtedly, had not produced Themistocles? Young ladies, act, dance, sing, run for office, fly, shoot lions in Africa, if you must. But GET MARRIED and have children. American tourists traveling "for to admire and for to see," also to visit dressmakers, milliners and get away from prohibition spent in France last year $226,160,000—a great deal of money, and REAL MONEY. It would be a pity if misunderstandings about debts that may never be paid should make Americans in France so uncomfortable as to cut off that yearly tribute to the French dressmaking Minotaur. We want France to prosper, and it is pleasant to have Americans leaving hundreds of millions in France, bringing back information. "I have said Nelson's and it has done con- dence for us here."

It is the oldest established hair dressing on the market—the original, and it has led them all because it brings such sure and quick results. Those who take pride in their personal appearance should care for their hair. NE HAIR Two new Ideas in prohibition enforcement. 'Shoot to kill' orders and sent to prohibition officers, particularly to a squad of forty Customs men recently appointed for special bootleg work. If the bootleggers run away they are to be shot—dead if possible. Also the Government will divide the receipts from fines imposed on bootleggers. The informer will get one-quarter of what the Government gets. This shows energy, but will it discourage men that can change one dollar's worth of corn into fifty dollars' worth of bootleg whiskey? Young Krishnamurti from India has arrived and comes to free us from our "materialism." He will be as welcome as Hercules in the Augean stables. This earnest, sincere youth is among other things, an excellent horseman, a good sportsman, and was an infant prodigy. He was carried each night to a tent in his sleep. As he dreamt, so his friends say, "the Master" appeared and gave him instructions. At the age of twelve, he wrote his book, "At the Feet of the Master." That does not necessarily mean Divine inspiration. Consider little Christian Heinrich Heinecken, who died in 1725, "before he was five years of age." He was able to converse plainly at ten months. When one year old, he knew by heart the most important parts of the Pentateuch. At two years of age he had mastered sacred history, at three he was thoroughly acquainted with history and geography, ancient and modern, sacred and profane, and spoke French and Latin. He devoted himself to religious study in his fourth year, and to church history. And this is no "yarn" but historical facts. Crowds flocked to Lubeck to see him, and a year before he died he was taken to see the King of Denmark at Copenhagen. His death before the age of five, should warn parents not to drive talented children. Whatever our defects may be in the United States, we cannot be accused of dividing things up. When an American gets a big piece of anything, he helps it and adds to it. "Before asking if I could not each kid of my hair, but now I can fix it up nicely." MRS ANNA ADAMS, Zellwood, Fla.

Swimming is an ideal method of bringing every body muscle into use. As a nerve invigorator, exercise in water with the minimum of clothing on, outclasses the medicine bottle a thousand to one. However, most good things have perils lurking beneath their tempting exterior. The danger of drowning today is practically nil, so wise are the precautions taken; but the man of fifty or more, who cherishes a forty-eight inch waist-band, and who innocently carries a deceptive heart-lesion, may start something impossible to stop by taking the sudden, violent plunge. The corpulent figure is neither safe nor artistic in the "high dive." The man over fifty had better refrain from aquatic feats that make his heart "thump." Swimming-races are dangerous when attempted by amateurs. I saw recently a young man of perfect build, swim across a small lake to beat a record; the contortions of his heart immediately after, and which lasted an hour or more, were enough to alarm an experienced cardiologist. Swimming is one of the pleasures which should never be overdone. And, a full stomach is bad company to have along, when doing fancy strokes, particularly if you are a "tired business man" unacustomed to athletic feats in water. But moderate exercise in the realm of our finny brethren, when the temperature is right, is one of the very best agencies for circulation, muscle and nerve.

MISS ANNIE BRASLEY Springfield, Ohio Dressing WALKING BANK DRESSING For the Emerging Economy Bank WALKING BANK DRESSING N'S SING Magazine Page THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Too Much Efficiency By E.J. W.J.Watt and Co. Rath GU.V. **NEA, Chicago Bureau** Here is Frank O. Lowden's home, beautiful estate at New Oregon, Ill. It may house a future president; at least his name is being in Republican deliberations. Inset shows the former Illinois governor who may bid for the farm vote in the next presidential campaign. BEGIN HERE TODAY JOHN W. BROOKE, hardware magnate and widower, hires an efficiency engineer to take charge of his household for a period of time when he expects to spend away from home. He fails to inform his daughter, William and Alice, about his plan, H. HEDGE, assigned to the job breaks the news to William and Alice, calls her daughter an immediate charge and informs all concerned that he means business. Constance calls her daughter that Hedge is born old. She is told that communication with her father accepts in a matter of life or death. Hedge, in the presence of Constance, sacks William his age and continues 20 years but no occupation. Constance attempts to explain. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "He tried the hardware business with father," said Constance defensively. "but well, he wasn't suited for it." If Billy was suffering from a certain amount of superficial discomfort, his sister was suffering shame. She dropped her gaze for a moment and compressed her lips tightly. "All right; I'll find him something to do." Billy straightened up in his chair and thrust out his chin. "Is that so?" he said in fine contempt. "I didn't read anything in the orders about that." "You were charged by your father to obey me, weren't you?" "Oh—perhaps." "And if your father were here, and he ordered you to go to work, you would, wouldn't you?" "That's different." "Not one bit different. For all necessary purposes, I'm your father. And I consider it necessary for you to work. That settles that." The efficiency man said these awful words without any display of heat, which made them seem the more awful. They fell upon Ellly like an icy avalanche. And Constance, hateful as this strange man was to her and filled with a resolve never to submit to his bidding, was somehow unable to fling herself to the aid of her brother. He was on treacherous ground, unable to fight a good fight. "Ever keep books or card indexes?" asked Hedge. Billy shook his head. "I can teach you. Ever run a typewriter?" "No!" "You'll learn—in time. What can you do anyhow?" "He—he can run an automobile," said Constance hastily. She was not particularly proud of the answer, after it was out; she was afraid it was not impressive. But it was true. Billy could run an automobile wonderfully. He had been arrested eight times and his license had been revoked. "Good idea; guess I will, Connie." The expert driver got out of his leather chair and moved toward the door. "Very well; run your automobile—today," said the efficiency man significantly. "But don't forget when you come back that you're my clerk." "Clerk!" "We're getting it. Good morning." Billy paused long enough to think of a reply—long enough, without achieving one. Instead, he asked a question. "I say, Connie, lend me a ten-spot, will you?" "Sorry, Billy: I'm broke." H. Hedge did not volunteer either a ten-spot or a nickel, and Billy stalked from the room. Two minutes later a yellow roadster buzzed out of the Brooke courtyard. It was the kind of roadster that is unnecessarily and unbelievably close to the ground, like a fachsund. It had wire wheels, a throaty exhaust, and in order to drive it you had to lie on your back. Billy was great at that. "While I have the matter in mind," said H. Hedge, addressing Constance "tell me how far it is to Alice's school." "Six or seven blocks," answered Constance carelessly. "I imagined it was something like that. Hereafter, Alice will walk to school. It is good exercise, and the girl will clear her mind for her studies." Constance was about to retort hotly when, with a gesture, he abruptly dismissed the subject. "Here," he said, placing his hand upon a small pile of flat volumes. "is a set of books. Until your brother is familiar with the work, I will take care of them. They are book-keeping books. A complete set of household accounts will be kept, with a separate account for each depart M. G. G. G. "You expect me to make out one of these cards every day." ment. It's the loose-leaf system, of course. "Why why it was "of course" Constance did not know; she was not familiar with loose-leaf systems. "I have here," be continued, indicating, "a set of daily report cards; in fact, two sets. The set for the servants is buff-colored, that for members of the family white. On these cards will be reported daily all matters of concern to the household Servants will report as to what duties they have performed during the day, in what manner, et cetera, as well as what things have been left unperformed. In this way we shall soon systematize the work and establish a proper schedule of hours." Constance smiled faintly. There was a vision in her mind of Glovani, the furriace man, making out his report. "The report cards for the family will contain brief memoranda of what each member has done during the day, a statement of conduct, of personal expenses, et cetera, together with any suggestions for the immigrant conditions or criticisms of the work of the staff." "You mean to say," asked Constance slowly, "that you expect us—me—to make out one of these cards—every day?" "Certainly. You will see the ad- --- vantage of it later." Constance relapsed into illness again. "I have here," he resumed cleanly, "a filing case and care system. In it all report cards will be filed, after being properly filed. There will be a personal index, as a subject index. All correspondence matters to household matters will be filed. There are certain features of the system of management that I shall put into effect, and which I can best explain as we come to them in actual practice. By the way, how old are you?" Constance stiffened in her chair. Not that she cared—but the question was offensive. "Why—I—you—" "About twenty?" he suggested, studying her critically. "You happen to be correct," she answered in a frozen tone. To her horror the efficiency man reached a blank card from a small pile. It was neatly ruled in blue, with black printing on it and numerous white spaces. There was a round hole punched at the bottom. H. Hedge picked up a pen, dipped it, and began to write. Although the card was upside down to her, she could easily read the legible characters that he set down in one of the spaces. He has written "C. Brooke." The card another line. Age-20." He paused and looked up. "Ever work?" Constance stood up and leaned forward. He did not seem to be aware of any unusual in her demeanor. After writing in her answer he wrote down in a white space "No occupation." "Unmarried, I suppose?" he asked. "You unthinkable wretch?" "Hardly an answer to my question," he suggested pleasantly. Constanzo had placed both hands on the desk to steady herself and looked down at him. There was room for nothing but rage in her fine gray eyes "The servants will throw you out," she said in a shaking voice "If they attempt it, I will discharge the servants I should regret to be compelled to do that" "You—you—Oh, this is all so horrible! rihbite! I can't be be!" "But it's quite true. Miss Brooke." She stood trembling, in spite of an effort to steady herself against the desk. For an instant her voice failed her. "I tell you, I will not hear it!" I will not endure this thing in my own home. My father would not have me endure it. You tell me that I shall do this, and I shall do that—you, an utter stranger! You order possession of my coat—you must if your own were your own. You insult my sister. You insult me! You would insult my brother—if you dared!" "I thought I had," murmured H Hedge softly. She did not hear him, perhaps be cause one of her tightly clenched fists was beating itself pink against the mahogany. "I will never obey you! Never! Never!" "You are appointed my secretary." he said with apparent irrelevance, at the same time making a note on a pad. For answer, she flew into a temp- post of tears and turned away, just in time to fling herself into the arms of Matilda, who had been listening outside the doorway until she could no longer restrain herself. It was past two o'clock when Hedge glanced at his watch. Immediately he rang for the butler. "When is lunch served?" he asked. "It is." Horace served—at one o'clock." replied Horace coldly. "Why was I not notified?" "Mr. Brooke never has his lunch- eon at home, sir." "Who had lunch?" "Miss Brooke's." "Nobody else?" "No, sir." "Hereafter I wish to be called for lunch." "Yes, sir." "Bring me a sandwich and a glass of milk." A - NEA, New York Bureau Mme, Ellin Richter is Germany's Mary Pickford.

Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man. EIGHT By An Insider (Reprint the 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.) Mellow claimed he could prove that he could secure unlimited power out of water bp decomposing the oxygen from the hydrogen or some such technical term. He was ready to demonstrate. However he wanted some one to demonstrate upon. He thought of tackling the Warden and so notified him with the result that it was a miracle we were not all thrown into the bull pen. The War丹 got scared and figured he had contrived to invent something that would blow up the prison and all of his efforts were in vain as they were all confiscated. This did not dishearten him however and he began to rebuild, only this time he took special precaution not to let any of his demonstrations get to the ear of the officials. I reasoned with him that if I could sell my services through the mail that similarly he could interest capital in his invention so consequently my draughtsman drew up plans and I drew up prospectus and advertising booklets and Mellow printed them. We sent them broadcast and finally a small town capitalist and promoter with more cupidity and curiosity than good judgment arrived at the prison. Mellow had a talk with him. Won him over and urged him to get certain parties who could handle the Warden interested with the result that one day a most peculiar crowd ventured into the prison and Mellow was given one of the bull-pen cells to demonstrate in. The lad was clever beyond description. He arranged h's various apparatus on a work bench, slunk behind a mask of much learning and fearful that the capitalists would steal his invention worth millions, had me there to take down in shorthand everything that was said. At this gathering was the Warden Deputy Warden, the small town capitalist, a member of the board of control and two engineers selected by this board member. Mellow gave a serious lecture and pathetically beamed the waste of power that was daily being ignored when by a simple process he could produce this power out of water, harness it and use it the same as gas or steam. In figures that indicated much thought and an extensive knowledge of higher mathematics he revolutionized the entire age of power. Gasoline, oil and other power companies would have a very doubtful future according to his lecture and when he had every one aroused to the point that they thought him either a superman or a lunatic he invited the engineers to examine his working models for any evidence of trickery. Apparently they could find none and asking for a match he turned on his decomposing outfit, lit the match and produced any number of instantaneous explosions finally adjusting his gage so that the power from the water was burning like gas. To say they were dumbly behold they were living witnesses to the marvel of the age and immediately there was a scramble for an interest in the invention that would make power as cheap as air. The board member and his engineers wanted to handle the invention and was willing to put $50,000 into an experimental laboratory for Mellow. The small town capitalist was all for it but Mellow refused to experiment further unless he was a free man, fearing that his interests would be stolen if he remained an inmate and he said he would to protect himself. Personally I had seen too many "con" games to become overexited over his ideas revolutionizing the world but I did see in it potentialities that as a promoter would make us independent and so I talked with my own personal assistant who happened to be a lawyer. None of us had over a few years to do and we tried to persuade Mellow to do nothing till we got out when we could launch a stock selling plan and clean up millions. To this he refused on the grounds that the simple process was bound to be discovered by others before our release and that he must get out and protect it at once. To me it became quite clear that he had something on which to base a campaign for freedom but beyond that I doubted. (To be continued) MAXWELL TOURING CAR. GOOD Condition. Cash or Credit.

A MAGNIFICENT TRIBUTE. Rev, W. L. Ransome, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church South Richmond, then delivered the sermon. Text: Acts 7:22, "He was mighty in his words and works." Rev Dr. Ransome paid a magnificent tribute to the deceased and his analytical handling of the subject held the audience spellbound as he told of the seven characteristics, which made Dr. Payne mighty. He declared that he was mighty in his personality, as a man, as a citizen, as a student, as a friend, as a preacher, as a pastor. In a flight of oratory, he exhaled, "It will be hard for you to find another Evans Payne. May God send an Elisha to catch the holy mantle." A CONGREGATION AROUSED. Then he aroused the congregation to a frenzy of excitement, when he marched across the rostrum imitating Rev. Payne when he had sung the soul-stirring hymn, "I have fought my way through. I have finished the work Thou hath given me to do." It was a masterly eulogy, eloquently delivered. Rev Fountain invited other speakers to say a word and Prof. M. M. Fisher, Rev. Dr. G. W. Goode, of Danville, Va.; Rev. A. H. Thurston, of Charlottesville, Rev. William H. Stokes and Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson spoke. MAGNIFICENT CASKET Funeral Director R. C. Scott and his assistants quietly came forward. East End Lodge, 233, A. F. A. M., William Spriggs, Master; S. O. Braxton, Secretary, had charge of the remains. The casket was heavy met allic, of magnificent shape with figured flowered designs on the side and top. The top opened in two sections, disclosing either one-half or full form of the deceased. It also had a copper lining. The arrangement both in the exercises and interment, were perfect. There was a profusion of boral designs. THOUSAND VOICES IMPRESS SEQU CROWD Philadelphia. Pa. Aug. 23. What proved to be one of the biggest musical features of the Sesquil-Centennial was presented in the stadium on August 23. On that occasion the Sesquil-Centennial Negro Chorus appeared and sang the spirituals and works of Negro composers. George Leon Johnson, the internationally famous tenor, now musical specialist of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, electrified his audience in Coleridge Taylor's "Onsaway, Owake, Beloved!" He also sang several spirituals including his own arrangement of "Rockp Road." This rendition excited applause, tears and amens among the vast audience. The Sabbath Glee Club of Richmond, Virginia made an impression not only on the hearers banked in the great stadium under the canopy of a starlit summer sky, but upon the "listeners in" within reach of the Wanamaker broadcasting radio audience. Phone calls from as far as Akron, Ohio, made repeat requests for more numbers. F. Grant Glimore's Sesqui-dedicated song "Crispus Attacks" sung by the entire chorus of voices, directed by W. Franklin Hoxter, made a decided bit. Mr. Hoxter's directing of the chorus and arrangement of the program was highly creditable and fullp justified the confidence of the Exposition officials. The program included: Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing (J. Rosamond Johnson); Swing Along (Will Marlon Cook) by the chorus; Onaway! Awake Be loved (S. Coleridge Taylor) by George Leon Johnson, tenor; Crisp Attucks (Glimmore) (arranged by Hoxter) dedicated to the Sesqu'Centennial, by the chorus; Ezekiel Saw de Wheel Hold the Wind, and Toll the Bell, by the Sabbath Glee Club of Richmond Virginia; Since You Went Away (J.

Thirteen years ago we've 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.
