THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library VIRGINIA JULY 9 1928 STATE LIBRARY 'JACK' SHARKEY TO BEAT HARRY WILLS? The White Boston Heavy-weight is Confident FIGHT NEXT TUESDAY, OCT. 12TH---COLORED FIGHTER SMILING. Harry Wills on Trail of Gene Tunney, The New Heavy-weight Champion VOLUME XLIII, NO. 48 'JACK' The W FIGHT NE Harry Wi New York, Oct. 5.—Jack Sharkey, Boston heavyweight, arrived here early yesterday morning to finish up his training for his 15-round bout with Harry Wills, scheduled for Ebbets Field on Oct. 12. Accompanied by his manager, Johnny Buckley, Sharkey made his headquarters at the Hotel Astor, and in the afternoon went to Stilman's gymnasium to engage in his first workout. There was a large crowd of onlookers present when Sharkey put in his appearance at the "gym," and though he engaged in only a light workout, he impressed the audience by his excellent physical condition. Calisthenics, bag punching, shadow boxing and a few rounds of light sparring with two little fellows, Franke Genaro and George Cuneo, just to brush up his speed, comprised the session. The drill was enough to show that the Boston boxer was on edge to go through a final hard week of drilling. After the workout he hopped on the scales and weighed 187 1-2 pounds, which is about the figure he expects to be at when he faces Wills. The Boston fighter was buppling over with confidence on the outcome. He said that he was certain of winning as was Tunney before he encountered Dempsey. Sharkey Has Prepared "This is the biggest chance of my career," said Sharkey, "and I am out to make the most of it. I have been conditioning myself for weeks and could step right out now and meet Wills. All I want to do now is tune up my boxing. "I not only expect to beat Wills, but I am confident that I can knock him out. And if I do. I don't see how they can avoid giving me a crack at the title as Wills still is the man Dempsey wouldn't fight, and now Tunney doesn't want to give him the chance either. I am thoroughly familiar with Wills' style of fighting. Several years ago when I was working in the Brooklyn Navy Yard I saw Wills in action frequently, and I then formed the conviction that I could beat him. That conviction became still firmer when I defeated George Godfrey, who told me after our bout that I surely could beat Wills, and Tunney, too. From today on Sharkey will work out with big fellows and accordingly he has surrounded himself with enough good men to put him right on edge. Heading the staff of sparing partners who will help the Boston fighter are Monte Munn, the big Nebraskan, himself a potential title aspirant, and big Bill Tate, the giant Negro, who worked out with Dempsey for the recent championship fight and who is also thoroughly familiar with Wills' style of fighting. Wills, too, is grooming himself carefully. Realizing the full importance of the coming fight, so far as his own championship aspirations are concerned., the Negro heavyweight is putting in some hard training sessions at Grupp's gymnasium. The advance sale continues to move along at a brisk pace and, Promoter Humbert Fugazy announced recently that the sale already had passed the number of tickets sold for the DelaneyBerlenbach fight at this corresponding day. Fugazy stated that it was now a certainty that the show would be a complete sell-out several days before the fight. "The way the tickets are going," said Fugazy "makes me feel sorry that we didn't arrange to stage this fight at the Polo Grounds. Every seat at Ebbets Field will be taken and I feel certain that the bout would have packed the New York ball park as well." Headquarters for the fight have been established in the El Dorado Building, 1239 Broadway. Tickets also are being sold at Fugazy's offices in the Woolworth Building as well as at Ebbets Field. Joe Carmouche's and Cleo Mitchell's Big Musical Revue, with a superb Jazz Band have been playing at the Hippodrome Theatre this week to large crowds. The show is admirably staged and gorgeously costumed. The people have been delighted. HOUSTON TEXAS N. A. A. C. P WINS FIGHT FREEBING A CONDEMNED MAN. Luther Collins, in Jail Five Years, Now Free and Back at Work After five years of unremitting effort, the Houston, Texas, Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has won a spectacular fight resulting in the liberation of Luther Collins, a colored man who was successively sentenced to death and then to 99 years in prison, and has spent in all five years in jail. Mr. Collins was convicted and sentenced on the testimony of a white woman of ill repute, and the contradictions in the testimony she gave, together with evidence of Mr. Collins' good character, made it evident he was innocent of the assault charged. The Houston N. A. A. C. P not only raed $2,000 to carry the case through the Texas courts on repeated appeals, but interested prominent white people in the case, Financial aid offered by the National office of the N. A. A. C. P was refused by the Houston Branch which declared it could and would finance the case itself. Recently Luther Collins' 99-year sentence was reversed and the District Attorney of Fort Bend County, Texas, gave the Collins attorney authority to try the case in any county he wished. The attorney promptly named Washington County, where the attorney had practised law for 25 years. The bond was at once reduced from $7,500 to $2,500 and Collins was released under bond in March of this year. Bond was signed by four of the most prominent white men and four of the most prominent colored men of the city of Houston, one of the white men being Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, two of the bankers and the fourth a prominent merchant. After a number of consultations between the District Attorney of Washington County, the Judge and the defense attorneys the D'strict Attorney moved that the case be dismissed. Collins was freed early in September and is now working at the job he held before his arrest. Had it not been for the sight made by the Houston N A. A. C. P., Luther Collins would long since have been dead, as he had no friends to intercede for him and the public took it for granted he was guilty. CHECKER CAB SERVICE A decided change in rates has been announced by the Checker Cab Company. Officials of the company announce that in the future there will be no charge for extra passengers that is as many as five people can ride for the price of one. This move is said to be in line with the policy adopted in the larger cities in the country, and places Richmond's schedule of Checker Cab rates upon a comparative basis that is most favorable. In many instances the new rates are said to be even lower than those in effect in cities much larger than Richmond, where the volume of business done is considerably greater. It is estimated by the officials of the company that under the new schedule the average trip within the city may be made by five passengers, at a cost per passenger ranging from a minimum of 9 cents, to a maximum of 23 cents, depending upon the exact length of the trip. This rate, of course, does not include cab service from Richmond's far outlying suburban sections. The Checker Cab Company has enjoyed a little over three years of successful business in this city, beginning with a fleet of twelve cabs financed entirely by local capital in June 1923. There are now fifty-two cabs in operation, and over 100 family supporting men employed by the company. A booth has been placed at the State Fair announcing the new rates, and explaining the many in- details of modern cab operation RICHMOND VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1926 Washington, D.C. — With the academic procession on Wednesday, September 29th, Howard University officeally opened its fifty ninth academic year. The first classes were held beginning at eight o'clock Wednesday for both fresmen and upper-classmen. The registration period having been confined to September 24th and 25th for freshmen, and 27th and 28th for upper classmen. Although some of the departments of the university have already enrolled as many students as they will be able to care for during the year, it is not possible to give an estimate of the number to be enrolled during the first quarter as the Law School does not officially begin until Friday, October 1st, and the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical departments until Monday, October 4. The academic procession was headed by Professor Frank Coleman Chief Marshal, who preceded Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson, the new president, the first of his race to serve as the head of the institution; administrative officers, and members of the academic faculties of the college departments. The Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel was crowded to capacity, overflowing to the side walks immediately surrounding it by a large student-body, members of the faculties of the University, and families of officers and professors. COOIDGE DIRECTS ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ACT ON N. A. A. C. P. PROTEST AT FORCED LABOR IN MIAMI. New York, Oct. 1.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 69 Fifth Ave, announces receipt of a letter from Everett Sanders, secretary to President Coolidge, stating that the President has directed the Attorney General to investigate reports of virtual neonage enforced, against Negroes only in the district of Miami, who were pressed into labor at clearing away the storm debris. Mr Sanders' letter to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., reads as follows: THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON Sept. 27. 1926. My dear Mr Johnson: Your telegraph of September 27th has been received and, by the President's direction, it's at once being brought to the attention of the Attorney General. EVERETT SANDERS Secretary to the President. The N. A. A. C. P., on receipt of reports that Negroes were being forced under armed guard to work at clearing away wreckage in the storm sweep area at Miami, telegraphed as follows to President Coolidge, the Secretary of the Navy and the Attorney General: Press dispatches from M'ami, Florida, report: State troopers, deputies sheriff, and police were sent to round up all Negroes of workable age and to put them to work clearing debris in all parts of th's County. They will be put to work under guard. If true this constitutes virtually peonage for colored residents of that County 'in view of the fact this order applies only to Negroes. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully asks investigation by U. Department of Justice and the Navy of conditions alleged in press dispatches and, if prevalent, that prompt action be taken to end violation of federal statutes and constitutional guarantees. Press reports also indicate unwarranted shooting of Negroes by U. S. Marines. MT. OLIVE BAPT. CHURCH Location: Stop 5. Richmond Petersburg Pike. Services: 19 A. M., Sunday School; 11. v0 A.

(Catty), James Price and John Love was before the United States District Court in this city last Wednesday and Thursday. Under instructions of the Judge, James Price and John Love were acquitted. The jury did not agree in the case of W. A. Price and he was bailed for his appearance at the next term of the Court. The statement of the narcotic officers that they could see what was going on from the Marshall Street vaduct was a vital point in the case. All of the defendants were charged with selling "dope." Few people in the neighborhood believed them guilty. W. A. Price is now engaged in the undertaking business and viciously claims to be doing a legitimate business. He is outspoken in saying that an effort is being made to "frame" him. REV. QUARLES AND BROTHER RETURN FROM. VACATION Rev. F. W. Quarles has returned to the city after spending a delightful vacation with his brother in Ashland, Va. He and his brother, Mr. John Quarles, had a pleasant trip up to their nephews' and n'eces' home on South Ann River. The bus took them to the bridge and right up in Horseshoe Bend is a form of about one hundred or more acres, the river going round three parts of it. The circle is about one mile or more and there we were in the Bend. The well is about 35 feet deep. This gives the water enough. It is a sight seeing place with a canron of peas potatoes and many kinds of vegetables; also a great corn of apples and pears. This is the home of the six children of Bro. Picard and Fannie Quarles; Marcel L. Quarles, Luvinia O. Quarles, Harrison Quarles, Robert E. Quarles, Samuel E. Quarles and Carrie B Quarles.

M. C. A. MEET DID NOT FEEL AT HOME. (Freston News Service) Hartford, Conn., Oct. 7.—Kenneth C. Aldrge of this town was the only Negro delegate from New England states to the world congress of the Y. M. C. A., held recently in Helsingfors, Finland. Although he says that the Negroes were given the same consideration as other delegates, "even the whte American lad put aside his traditional prejudices, for the time being anyway," he records that they were not allowed for a single moment to forget that they were Negroes. Aldrge issued a statement of his impress ons, which reads in part, as follows: "It often happens—when a Negro returns from travel in Europe or some northern part of the United States that he expresses his enjoyment by such an expression as 'I didn't even know I was colored until I looked in the glass'—meaning, I suppose, that the thought of his being a Negro disappeared entirely from h's mind, due to there being no obvious sign of prejudices or the like in the section visited. I am sure none of the Negro delegates to the world's Y. M. C. A., conference at Helsingfors will make any such statement. We were ever aware of the fact that we were Negroes." A GREAT SINGER COMING.

Ethel Waters the well known Columbia Record Star, with an all Star cast including Abbie Mitchell, famous soprano, and Will Marion Cook, with his Philharmonic Orchestra will appear in Earl Dancer's latest production, "Miss Calico". Miss Waters, star of "Miss Calico" comes to the Academy direct from Broadway, where she has been the greatest colored singing personality the famous "White Way" has ever produced. Her enunciation of the various song hits she will render is as clear as the sound of a gong. She has the equipment for the life of song and dance, and she has what the "little theatre folk" call the soul also. In her unostentatious way of dramatizing every song she will render, you will see as well as hear it. Miss Waters is the most remarkable we man of her race that will ever appear in Richmond. Miss Waters will be surrounded by a capable cast of over forty. The cast includes the Taskanian Four, singers of the genuine negro ditties with that real darky atmosphere. There are two scenes that will also delight the patrons of the Academy. One is a dramatic skit dramatized by Miss Waters and Lionel Monagas, giving an impersonation of Miss Leonore Ulric, David Belasco's star of "Lulu Belle". The other will be a genuine church revival meeting taken from life showing the typical Negro of the South in prayer. In this scene Miss Abbie Mitchell will render one of her greatest song hits "Little Gal." Besides the large cast Mr. Dancer brings to Richmond a bevy of Chorine beauties. The entire production will come direct from New York and will only appear for three days, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Personals and Briefs Mr. C. P Hayes left for northern points.

Williams, President of the National Baptist Convention, recently in session at Fort Worth, Texas was the most exhaustive and the most able deliverance ever heard by that body. There could be no disagreement as to the wisdom of re-electing him to the office. He stands pre-eminent in the midst of some of the ablest Baptist divines in this country. THE QUESTION OF LEADERSHIP. President B. J. Davis, of the Atlanta, Ga. Independent is of the opinion that we should have one recognized race leader, to whom the official head of this Nation could apply for advice. We are of the opinion that he is expecting the impossible. Even Marcus Garvey was opposed, abused, misrepresented and finally "framed" and landed in the Atlanta Penitentiary by members of his own organization, despite the fact that no commanding figure has come forward to take his place and it is an example of "confusion worse confounded." The logical political leader in this country was the late Henry Lincoln Johnson. He was able, experienced and enjoyed the confidence of his white associates and held his State organization united behind him as "with hoops of steel." Still, his national political leadership was questioned, not by the Hon. B. J. Davis of Atlanta. It seems to us that the distinquished successor to this remarkable leader is President B. J. Davis of the National Negro Press Association, the logical political race leader. He is modest sometimes and bold at some other times, but it seems to us that he might as well invoke the "monistic" characteristics in his make up and grasp the helm. He should remember too, that outside of the presidential chair there is no organized political leader amongst the white folks for the reason that the supremacy of Senator Butler of Massachusetts is being questioned by many other white folks. When God changeth the characteristics of the colored folks, it may be that they will voluntarily accept and proclaim one man as the great political leader A FAR SEEING PROPOSITION. What is coming over our great and good friend from Georgia? He is now proposing the consolidation of all of the leading colored insurance companies. He is proving his argument by facts and figures which are indisputable. He talks about curtailing the number of offices and the abolishing of the salaries in these various insurance companies. If he can propose a beneficial plan for increasing the number of offices and increasing the salaries of all of them his plan will meet with popular favor amongst those people most interested. The trouble with the plan is that the people, who are to be eliminated are the ones to do the voting, while the policy holders remain silent. It would result in a regular "cat and dog" fight, so to speak. There is no doubt in the world that his plan will prove highly beneficial and squares with the rules of common sense and finance, but in the language of the street, it will be answered with a shrug, "Let Bill do it." The rule laid down by our brilliant friend applies to social, religious and industrial organizations. There are millions in it, but a blind public will refuse to realize its importance or fully comprehend its import during this day and generation. Continue to "cry aloud and spare not." THE MENACE In this modern day when progress is the slogan of all races, we would do well to heed the old time warning at railroad crossings: "Stop Look and Listen." Each year we are being told about the number of high school and college graduates taking their places in this hectic struggle for existence. Quite often we are informed that a lawyer, doctor or preacher has achieved fame—and a small fortune. At long intervals the reading public hears of a Negro wending his way up the long, winding trail of scientific pursuits. In nearly every instance, the successful person is a college graduate, which fact is either in his favor or against him—depending upon how he has used or intends to use that college training. Just what constitutes the greatest menace 's a subject often discussed. Prohibitionists say it is liquor. Reformers say it is licentiousness. Garvey's would have us cast a suspicious eye on the whate man. Religionists contend that lack of faith and devotion to God will surely destroy us. Educators are convinced that illiteracy will completely d'qualify us in the running. The southern white man says that the "Northern Nigger" causes more trouble than all the rapists combined; while the cultured criterions of the ebony elite employ beautiful phrases to convince "our little world" that the old "hat-in-hand-darkey" is the invisible shackle on our ankles. These and many other reasons have their good points. Some we could debate, while others could be accepted and no greater harm would be noticeable. Fact is, our greatest menace lies in the tendency to solve one problem by too many different methods. First of all let the entire Negro group, as a group decide on what they are fighting for. Whether they want to be recognized as Negroes or as Americans, Settle that point first. Then plan the propaganda accordingly. It will matter very little if some members of the group are Catholics and others Protestants; Democrats or Republicans; professors or artisans; social figures or denizens of the slums. Get the one idea over so that it is evident and understandable to all Negroes alike. Until we find some common level upon which to meet the "problem" will become more complex, what we need now is not an idea or plan from every student that completes a college course, but concentration on a fixed and definite plan. The menace that hinders our forward stride is our failure to start at the beginning. More than five thousand people thronged Fifth Street Baptist Church during the five services held there during the day. Superintendent J. H. Walls had a full Sunday School in the morning and the B. Y. P. U. had a splendid session under President Susie H. Grant in the afternoon. Pastor Charles S. Morris delivered a plain sermon on tithing at the morning service and created a very favorable impression. The 42 Men's Bible Classes of the Richmond Baptist Sunday School Union held Bible Day Exercises at 3:30 and Rev. Morris was the principal speaker and delivered a great oration on "The Bible, the Anvil That Has Broken Many Hammers." It was generally conceded to have been the most powerful message heard here in a long while and the effect was remarkable.

GOT 'EM ALL BUFFALOED THE WET AND DRY QUESTION POLITICIAN POLITICIAN THE POLITICAL PATH DORWAN H. SMITH "WHY NOT HARRY WILLST?" ASKS BROUN IN N. Y. WORLD. (N. A. A. C. P, Press Service) New York, Oct. 1.—Heywood Brown, in the N. Y., World of Sept. 30, pointedly inquires of Tex Rickard why Harry Wills is not given a chance to fight for the heavyweight championship and says of Rickard's refusal to arrange such a fight: "the thing seems to me more broad than a question of race tyranny. The picture also stands as the perfect example of the way in which the strong can oppress the weak. Tyrants are more annoying than they used to be, because they grow more clever. . . . It is now the custom of any American well-established, in power to make a pretense that he does not even see the unfortunate serf when he rides down." Mr. Brown urges that the newspapers call Mr. Rickard to account: "Indeed he owes us all an answer, if we choose to cup our hands, crane our necks and shout up at him, 'Why Not Harry Wills?'

I bought a box and she gained very slowly at first and after taking eight boxes, she gained seven pounds. Thanks to McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets, after trying almost everything else on the market. She is on the road to recovery and goes to school every day." Mrs. L. Babcock, Appleton, Wis.

Be- ing at sea in this important re- spect, we theorize, usually after all prospect of cure has vanished. Baldness claims one redeeming trait—it is painless. Perhaps if falling hair was attended by suf- fering, fewer heads would be neg- lected’ and the “shining dome” would be more rarely met with.| There is, of course the mentai anguish thet goes with being bald- headed—the mute admission of age and incompetenco—the rebuke of tho mirror, 4 A friend of mine—a clergyman, and a profound scholar, attributes nine-tenths of baldness’ to the in ciscriminate use of the comb and brush in the barber-shop, He is. confident that baldness increases with the frequenting of the ton- sorial parlor, where a common. brush and comb are applied to con-, secutive heads without sterilizing. He reasons that this brush and comb come in contact with at least a dozen diseased scalps daily, and, that hair-destroying microbes are carried from patron to patron. + ‘The barber disinfects his lather- cup and razor, but his precaution ends there; he applies the universal | brush and’ comb, finishes the cus- tomer with a flourish, and “parks” the carriers on a shelf to await’ the next. My friend never per-| mits the use of the comb and brusiy in the barber-shop—and he has beautiful hair. He predicts a race of bald-headed women, now that ‘ they are regular patrons of the shops.

By An Insider sReprint and publishing rights re- swerved exclusively by the author.) (Editor's Note: “Within Prison Walls’ in this issue was writien py @ young colored man, of good family and training, who for obvious reas- ons is withholding his rear identity and who due to his ability, served (during a course of ten years) fa 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 pris: on life that are rarely, if ever, dis- closed to the public.) (Continued from last week.) THAT BARREL FLOGGING Immediately after the state police arrivea on that fateful Sunday eve- ning they subdued the crowd, locked them all in and locked Gypsy Bob, Perry ang the known third member, a young foolish upstart who thought himself a hero in following the foot: steps of older ‘but misguided crimi- nals were placed in solitary confine- ment in the “bull-pen” where they ‘were continually watched, The of- ficlals in charge decreed that they should be flogged ang the next morning the “barrel” was placed in operation. Fifty lashes each were administered that day w'th Bob and Roberts pleading for mercy. Perry, cool and calm as was his make-up, took his without a whimper. The way that man under-went punish- ment became the talk of the officials ang the wonderment of all. Know- ing that they were to receive the same punishment each day for an.in- definite period Gypsy Bob tried to commit suicide that night in his cell by butting his head against the tron rivets. He succeeded only in inflict- ing serious pain and the loss of much blood to himself, He did manage to evade the lashes for a few days but in the end he rece'ved ten additional ones, the others re- ceiving one hundred ang fifty lashes while he received one hundred and sixty, Perry maintained his degree of coolness throughout and the only audible sound he evoked was a threat to kill an additional official for every ash that was administered. & _ A SPECTACULAR ROLE Just before the Warden's death, Rill. of whom we have referred be- fore, playeq another spectacular role, one that would appear strange even in a sensational novel by a famous fictionist. The day of the riot Gyp- fy Bob kept calling for the gun that apparently was suppose to be tn the prison. Some thought that such threat was merelv gusto but the Officials including the Warden felt that there really was a gun in the prison and some of the hard-boiled guys who resented the wholesale slaughter that was pulled off but would have readily _ part’cipated in a jaildelivery were in sympathy with the Warden's dying request to have the gun “turned” th. In this connection Bill became intermedi- £72, not because he wonld intention. Hii¥ OF Otherwise turn against his pals but because he could best use his head in an emergency. “ Without ‘making any admission whatever he was called to the bedside of the ‘Warden and talked terms. Ha yas willing to aid in having the 4gun turned in provided no one was pun- ished therefor but on the contrary that someone shoul receive “con- sideration” for so doing. Back and forth he went to the Warden and the boys who were in the know of the gun. Concession by concession he gained until an absolute promise was made, supposed to be backed with the word of the Governor, that the man that turned in the gun would rece've his freedom especial: ly after Bill had promised that nei ther he or any of his crowd would be the one to turn the gan in put on the ontrary some inmate whom no objections could be made for clemency shown him. A World War veteran was chosen, who was crip- pled, but haq ten years to serve. The proposition was explained to him and one noon the gun was unearth: ed, taken to pieces and planted on the World-War veteran in sections with instructions for him to walk in the deputy’s office and to whoever he foung there pass the gun, pfece by p'ece to him. Little did any one think when this cripple struggled in- to the deputy’s office where a state police official was seated. The erip- ple sat down opposite him with but a desk intervening, He asked the official if he knew why he was there and when he replied in the affirma- t've he pulled the gun out piece by niece and passed ft under the desk. ‘Thns the gun was turned in before the Warden died, and my confidence in the Warden was such that if he had lived I know the poor cripple wonld be a free man today as It transpired however the poor fellow was only transferred to another prison where he remains today while the state police official moved up the ladder of fame and won for him- self a few additional stripes and much additional money anq prestice. Porhans the one who today feels the most humility and sadness over the affair in BIN himself anq to the per- son that double-crossed him I would not offer much solace should Bill get loose to face him, After the outbreak had somewhat subsided and, much political manoeu- ver'ng a new warden had been se lecteq tie prison became a_bedlam of tolerance and license, The new warden had had no previous experi- ence with criminals and he openly acknowledged his inexperience to the men but promised them that for a period of one year he would allow the men any privilege that they wished providing they. would retali- ate by causing no trouble or disturb- ance (To be continued) J.
