WAVERLY YUILL RESENTS INTERFERENCE. Sensational Scene at Fifth St. Baptist Church--Rev. Skipwith's Statement VOLUME XLIV NO. 2 FIRST Clarence K Lyncher Brown A EVANGEL Sensationa Shooting on (Special By John Mitchell, Jr.) Clarence Kelly, age 35 years, of 608 N. 29th St., was shot and killed some time before midnight, Monday, Nov. 15, by Cornelius Yancey, age 28 years of 606 N. 29th St. The ball passed through his body from the back. He was removed to St. Philip's Hospital, where he died Tuesday morning. Cornelius Yancey is son of Roland Yancey of 3201 P St. The former surrendered to the police. He was locked up at the First Police Station. In the Police Court before Judge John H. Ingram, he was represented by Attorney Charles W Moss. YANCEY'S STATEMENT Approaching the cage in reply to queries, he said "I live at 606 N. 29th St. I went into my house and it had been broken open. I went out to inform the officers and was gone about ten minutes. When I returned, I saw a man running out and getting over the fence. I came in with my gun in my over-coat pocket. I fired at him as he went over the fence. I do not know how many times I fired. He had stolen $26.00 in money and a suit of clothes. I do not know what time it was. It might have around 10.30 o'clock last night. WAGON WAITING "My wife was not in the house at the time." Yancey left the impression that there was no one in the house, but Kelly when he entered. The patrol wagon was waiting and soon he was hand-cuffed to another prisoner and was on his way to the City Jail. Later at the City Jail, Yancey made, a similar statement. A walk to Church-hill, the scene of the tragedy when Chauffeur M. E. Allen hailed us. He offered to take us to the scene of the killing and a few moments later at the residence of Roland Yancey, 3201 P. St., information came as to the location of the witnesses. Mrs. Franklin was at the gate. SAW THE FLASH But the most interesting part of the story came from the lips of Mrs. Isaleen Willis. She was lying on a bed in the rear room somewhat nervous from the experiences of the night before. She said: "I was lying on the bed here and my son was on the couch in the front room. I heard three shots and I started up. My son said he saw the flashes on the front porch. The man came out of Yancey's house and he fired at him as he ran. Mrs Yancey was in a room over there with some men. She was in such a condition that they had to go in there and get her out and carry her down the street. WANTED TWO OTHERS "Cornellis Yancey was threatening to kill two other men. He went in there first and then he came back and demanded that they open the door or he would break it down. I could hear them here, where I am living. When they did open the door, Kelly and two other men came out. Kelly ran and he shot him. He claimed that one of them had taken his money. He was trying to kill 'Easley.' He lives down the street from here. He is down the street cut up with glass. He had to get out through the back way and Yancey was trying to kill him too." FEET CUT After several visits to wroxg resi- dences to locate James Easley, 616 N. 29th St. Sergeant J. L. Wiltshire was found there interviewing them. "Easley" was in bed. Hie showed where his feet had been cut by the glass. Just prior to the shooting, Yancey had called at his wife. Mrs. Yancey said he came there and asked where was her husband. She told him she did not know. He said, "I am afraid that you will never see him again. I am going to kill him and 'Cry-baby.'" THE DETECTIVE SERGEANT'S CONCLUSION Wesley Hewlett is nicknamed "Crybaby" Yancey went to Mrs. Franklin's on the corner and told her he was going to kill her brother-in-law. Similar testimony was available from other quarters. Sergent Wiltshire stated that from the testimony of the witnesses, it was a case of first degree murder. 37TH ANNIVERSARY Y. M. C. A.

The following is the clipping concerning the Hemmsley divorce case: It is understood that it will be dismissed and the lady doctor exonerated. Smoldering marital troubles in the home of Bernard Hemmsley, flared into flames this week when his wife Mrs. Hattie Hemmsley, accusing him of misconduct with a local school teacher and a Virginia woman doctor, filed a petition for a partial divorce in Circuit Court The petition, which was filed through the office of George W. Pendleton, attorney, names Miss Anita Gaskins teacher at School No 110, and a woman doctor said to reside in Richmond, Va, as co-respondents.

You learn that you can change your tastes, mold them, and make them minister to your wholesome happiness and not drag you down. You learn to think. There is no thought that is of any value that is not disciplined. Thoughts are things: they make and unmake you. And you learn to herd them, drive them as you choose, and not helplessly follow them.

The Elks Electrocuted Candidate NEW JERSEY MAN DIES OF IN-JURIES AFTER ELK INITIATION (Preston News Service) East Orange, N. J., Nov. 18—Samuel Bradley, whose experience in the "electric chair" in connection with his initiation into the East Orange lodge of Elks caused a police investigation, died Thursday night at Community Hospital, Montclair. Bradley who was found to have fracture both hips when taken to the hospital, where he was chef, told hospital authorities and police that in addition to being strapped in a rudely constructed "electric chair" and given a shock, he had been struck by a club in the hands of one of the initiating team. Lodge officials denied that Bradley had been hit. The police say that they found that the home made electrodes in the electric chair had been connected with a coll to which two dry batteries were attached. Bradley told the police that he had been strapped to the chair and the current turned on. Lodge officials admitted that this was true and that when the current was turned on Bradley gave a violent start. He complained of pain and did not finish the initiation. After being kept to his home for three days after the initiation, Bradley was taken to the hospital. The lodge was recently formed and has not yet received its charter from the National Organization. The degree work was being performed by the team of a Newark lodge of Elks. the East Orange Elk officials told the police. Bradley, who was 42 years old, leaves his mother Mrs. Hannah Bradley, and a brother. William Bradley, both of South Carolina.

Lynchers Punished Georgian Pleads Guilty to Lynching Charge (By Associated Press) Douglas, Ga., Nov. 17.—Coming as a complete surprise to the court and bringing his trial to an abrupt end. Major Brown, outstanding figure in the twelve defendants charged with murder in connection with the lynching of Dave Wright, entered a plea of guilty just before noon today and was given a sentence of life imprisonment. Wright was lynched in September after he had been arrested and charged with slaying a woman. After a few preliminaries eight of the other defendants indicated that they wished to plead guilty. They were Archie Tanner George Lott, Paul Axcady, Willie Arnold, Willis Tanner, Joe Hutto, Alma Hester and Charles Adams. As they were recognized as being members of the moh but not leaders the sentence imposed upon them was lighter than that given Brown each being ordered to serve from four to twenty years.

Miami magic is still on the job The tropical tornado that recent- swept the Florida metropolis called to strip it of its right to re- tain the title of the *The Magic City* Indeed, more magical than Miami one can upbuilding, by which this title will be the work of rehabilitation and re- construction to which the city has set itself in the wake of the gale. Even before full contact with the outside world had been reestablished, and while northern cities were still unaware of the magnitude of the dis- aster, has visioning for her- self, out of her package, a bigger and better future. This vision already is taking shape, under the leadership of such men as Frank B. Shuttz, publisher of the Miami Herald. Fred L. Weede and Lon Worth Crow of the Miami Chamber of Commerce, and Mayor E. C. Romfh. The result is that instead of merely planning to replace and regain what she lost, Miami is moving definitely ahead a program destined to place her ahead of the position she occupied when the hurricane hit her. From a purely material viewpoint, considering the city's permanent development and progress, the nummer may in fact prove one of the best things that ever happened to Miami. It gives at one sweep, the tawdry, the manshack, the filmsily-built structures that every city seeks to eliminate, but with only indifferent success. But the best of the old Miami remained as a foundation on which to build. This included all the larger hotels and the great majority of well-constructed apartment and business buildings, damage to which was largely superficial. The better-built homes, too, proved not to have been so seriously shaken as at first reported. With these as an object lesson to guide reconstruction, the new Miami will be much less vulnerable to possible future whims of nature. As a result of "Miami magic" visitors to that city this winter will be unable to realize the magnitude of the disaster that so recently seized to have overwhelmed her. The declaration by Mavor Romhf, on the behalf of the hurricane, that: "Miami this winter will be able to take care of as many visitors as it did last year and as comfortably and happily" already seems assured of fulfilment. As expressed by President Crow, of the Chamber or Commerce -Miami recognized that her future depended THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES A Glimpse of Downtown Miam, Which Stands as a Guide and Inspiration to Those Directing the City's Reconstruction. on her ability to "continue to serve the vacationists as usual" Best of all however for Miami's continued favor as a vacation resort.

Tree chopping has supplanted golf in this colony of wealthy estate owners. The "game," started by J. L. Guyon, has been developed to the fine points of a real contest. There is rivalry to determine who can split the most sticks of cordw ood with the fewest strokes, who can sink the ax deepest, who makes the prettiest cuts. "Wood chopping requires even more skill than golf," says Guyon. "If you don't believe it, try it. The trick of striking the ax into the wood at just the microscopic angle that will slice out the largest possible segment of wood is just as delicate an operation as anything you can do with a mashle or putter. "A man gets all wrapped up to an attempt to beat his last score with the ax. We have rules, too.

SATURDAY..NOVEMBER 20, 1923 Most people, who go to Africa from this country are generally glad to get back here with all of these American handicaps for colored people. We must either make friends with white people here or we must prepare to fight them and we cannot afford to fight them. Hon. Fred R. Moore the very able editor of the New York Age thinks that our statement that colored folks going North looking for civil rights and equal justice will be searching "a mare's nest for eggs" is ill considered. In view of recent happenings in Detroit and other cities in that section, which have enlisted the sympathy and financial support of the patriotic N. A. A. C. P., which organization as a result is in need of much more money for the purpose than is now available, it seems to us that our people going to that section should look for the money rather than for an improvement in civil rights conditions which are practically no better than they are here. The fact that they are permitted to vote is the only saving clause in the whole transaction and it is only here and there that this seems to be having any effect. We do not mean to be construed as advocating the surrender of civil and political rights, but insist upon our people contending for these rights after they get there. Our personal experience in the North has been that the denial of rights and privileges is all the more galling and annoying for the reason that you expect what you do not get and down here we sometimes get what we do not expect. ```markdown ``` The death of Captain Thomas J. McMahon removes from active service one of the most remarkable men that has ever served in the Police Department of Richmond. He possessed fundamental qualities that enabled him to serve in any capacity from that of a patrolman to that of a chief. He never asserted his authority in a grunt manner, but every crook and every one else knew when they looked into his face that he would brook no foolishness or insubordination. When he was promoted, he was grateful. When he was demoted, he had absolutely nothing to say. He quietly chewed orders, kept his opinion to himself or spoke in whispers to his intimate friends. As to the "under dog", he was always a "harbinger of peace." The colored people learned to like and admire him. Still, he is better off and to his immediate family and friends, we send this note of cheer. standing with bared head, a heart full of sympathy and eyes which will drop tears upon the sod of his grave.

C., Nov. 18—Through the efforts of the State Detective W. W. Rogers, investigating the death and lynching of the Lowmans it has been revealed that Governor McLeod has six new affidavits involving the members of the mob. It is reported that the governor has intimated that he has no doubt that there is a real basis of truth in what the affidavits say. The affidavits are said to have been made by four Negroes and two white persons who were in the Alken jail the night the three Lowmans were taken out and shot to death. In addition to the affidavits made by Mrs. Lucy Mooney and Charles E Lee, who were in the jail that night the new affidavits include: Heyward Marshall and D. A. Worley, white; J. Cliff Robinson, Walter Jennings, Joseph Rouss and Charles Chamberlain It is said that Nollie Robinson, high sheriff at Alken, has made three trips to Columbia to see the Governor. It is said that Governor McLeod has ordered a photographer to go to Alken and make photographs of the interior of the Alken jail. He feels that there are a number of features of the stories of both Robinson and his jailer, Taylor, which have not been satisfactorily explained. Both these men testified at the coroner's inquest that they were overpowered by the mob, none of whose members they recognized, which came from inside the jailer's residence, "like a flock of blackbirds." Robinson said he fired two shots at them but missed and was downed by three or four men. The jailer related that the mob took his gun and keys from him. According to lawyers of Alken whenever they visited the jail to see prisoners the jailer took the keys from a huge safe implanted in the wall which he had to open with a key he wore on his person. The jailer told the coroner that the keys were on his dresser in his bed room when the mob awakened him and he put them on his belt before going down to face the mob. Why he did not put the keys in the safe and throw away the safe key when he saw the mob has not been explained. The sheriff appears unable to explain satisfactorily a number of incidents after he arrived at the jail in response to the jailer's telephone call for help. He says he found the mob outside between the courthouse and the main door of the jail. He says he argued with them to disperse and they turned and walked away. The sheriff says he addressed the mob as he stood directly beside the stairs leading to the main floor of the jail. No explanation has been made why when he turned and walked away toward the courthouse, he felt it necessary for him to enter the jail, which was safe against intrusion except by artifice. Nor has he related why upon deciding to enter the jail he left the stairs leading directly to the main entrance and walked fifty feet around the corner of the jail to the jailer's door. This maneuver forced him to turn his back to the mob. He says he found the door to the 'ailer's residence open, formed no suspicion that mob members might be inside the house, and tells of arriving at the steel door leading to the residence of the jailer to the jail and calling the jailer away from the main jail door to admit him. It was then, he says, the mob swarmed over him from the rooms behind him darkened when the elec-tele light wires were cut earlier in the night eight miles from town. The final and perhaps the most ex-terranean part of both these stories by the jailer which remains unexplained, is how the mob got into the jail without injury. Robinson says he was seized from behind just as the jailer opened the large steel door to admit him. How the mob swarmed past him in an instant and seized the jailer, who was inside the jail, before the shooflid got a chance even to fire his pistol or shut the door remains an unsolved mystery. Through the relentless efforts of the staff correspondent of the New York World and the accompanying efforts of the investigators of the N. A. A. C. P as well as the work of the state detective fear is being spread throughout the whole of Horse Creek Valley. It is said that Negroes living in that section are also filled with fear lost the vicious whites in their determined effort to continue their disrespect for law turn violence on the defenseless Negroes of the section. Such "big Men" as Quinby and others are said to be doing all in their power to supress the investigation. It is said that a man known to be a member of the mob white talking to an investigator insisted that they keep inside and not allow certain persons to see them talking. He said it would mean that he would be shot to death by the members of the 'community' and he also warned the investigator to be exceedingly careful for his life might be snuffed out any minute by the members of the Valley THE RICHMOND PLANET.

NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING "MOTHERS' PENSION" LAWS (Preston News Service) Negro mothers struggle with large families and home responsibilities, need to now that forty-two (42) states now have "Mothers' Pension" laws, providing for aid to children in their homes. More than 130,000 children are at present receiving such aid; and although it does not appear how many colored children are included in the estimated 400,000 kiddies who need augmented help in their rearing, it is a foregoing conclusion that a meritorious percentage of the needy, if known, would comprise youngsters of the Race. New York City has discovered that it is spending $28.40 a month per capita to care for children in institutions, but that only a little over $15 a month is expended for dependent children in their homes. It is interesting to know from the interesting study which the U. S. Children's Bureau has made of this question, that in such progressive states as New York, California, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Jersey, Maine, etc. more than 200 children per 100,000 population are receiving the aid granted through the instrumentality of Mothers' Pensions; while in Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, etc., where surely the need is great less than 20 children per 100,000 population are receiving mothers' pension aid. In Maryland, the mothers' aid legislation has become inoperative. Colored mothers comprise a larger increment of wage-earners than does any other American group, and it is cheaper to save the children in the home than it is to care for them in the public institutions provided by the states. Colored parents should not be too proud. They should make earnest inquiry regarding this particular benefit, and avail themselves of it. In fact, among the early duties of the Negro Welfare associations should be that of pointing out the full list of public utilities which states provide to safeguard their citizenship. A dollar spent at home is easier on the home, the taxpayers, and the community at large than one svent in the maintenance and upkeep of public institutions. If any mothers are deserving of pensions, surely it is the colored mothers, who devoted their generations to toil and endeavor, and at the same time reared, and are now rearing children good enough to war, labor, and indulge in all the necessities of American life. GARY NEGRO LEADERS IN G.O.P. IGNORED BY K. K. K. POLITICIANS Gary, Ind., Nov. 12—Self-appointed Negro political "leaders" here, who have been book-ticking the K. K. K. Republican party bosses because they have been offered candidates on the Republican ticket at the recent election, received a shock a few days before the election when the Republican ticket posters were distributed. The posters contained the pictures of all the candidates except the Negroes. They say they can't understand why the white Republican leaders who have filled them full of nice sounding phrases and promised them backing of the party for their candidates, in return for the delivery of the colored vote, should forget to include their pictures on the posters. A prominent Negro minister here told some of his friends that this is just one of the humorous things that are creeping out in the attempt of the K. K. K. Republican party to get the Negroes' vote. As a protest an organization has just been formed and called the "New Day Political Club." It is said that this organization plans to support the Democratic party as a rebuke to the insincere Republican bosses. The U. N. I. A. another organization here, claims that it supports men and measures. It makes an effort to advise its membership to support candidates friendly to the race regardless of party. One old timer remarked that "the white folks just do these Negroes anyway they please. They know that these organizations will be dead when the next election time comes. The colored voters will forget past faults and fall right in line with the white folks and be fooled again. This goes on all the time. Maybe some time my people will remember insults from one election to another and act accordingly." SLAYER OF MRS. DUDLEY HAS TRIAL DELAYED TWO WEEKS. (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Nov 11. The Police Trial Board Wednesday postponed for two weeks the trial of Pvt. George S. Davis, aged 36, of the second precinct who is charged with slaying "without provocation, cause or excuse," Mrs. Desdemona Barnett Dudley, aged 32, wife of Sherman H. Dudley, wealthy theater owner, while at the Dudley apartments, 1316 You St., N. W. on September 21. Bertrand Emerson, counsel for Davis, said he had not been able to see Davis to prepare a defense. Davis is now lodged in the District jail awaiting trial, having been indicted by the grand jury on a charge of murder. The policeman, who is said to have been an ardent admirer of Mrs. Dudley who had been estranged from her husband, shot her on learning of her reconciliation with her husband, and then turned the weapon on himself. Though wounded in the head he recovered, but lost his sight. REVIVAL! 3RD ST. BETHEL A. M. E. NOTES Dr. J. G. Robinson, D. R. Editor A, M. E.

ON SECOND THUS, I MADE JIMMY, JAKEY AND UNCLE STUFFUM OVER FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER! and went on concluding the services just as though nothing had happened. After some persuasion by some of the church officers, Rev. Yuill consented to remain until after services and talk the matter over with Rev. Dr. Morris. The result was that the matter was amicably arranged and he consented to go on with the revival meeting the present week. Rev. Dr. Skipwith's Statement Rev. Dr. William H. Skipwith, who is a world-wide evangelist, having extended his labors to Europe said, when asked about the occurrence, "I went to the Fifth St. Baptist Church Sunday night and took a seat in the rear of the church. One of the officers saw me and insisted upon my taking a front seat. Rev. Dr. Morris saw me and immediately insisted that I take a seat on the rostrum, which I did. He greeted me warmly. Services began at 8 o'clock and at about 20 minutes to ten o'clock, he touched Rev. Yull and asked him to conclude his remarks, as he had other business to get out of the way. A Long Sermon The evangelist had been conducting the service about an hour and twenty minutes. The Rev. Dr. Morris announced that I would sing a hymn and he proceeded to introduce me. I stated that the speaker had preached an excellent sermon and I asked if there were any persons present not connected with any church in Richmond. About 12 persons stood up and of this number Your or five came forward to join the Church. I also stated that I had been in the evangelical work 24 years and had been connected with the church 46 years which I presumed was before my friend came into the world Would Quit That Night Rev. Yuill seemed to have taken offense at this statement and he got up and said. "I don't want these devils and hypocrites to join the church. There are enough in the church already. I'll quit tonight." He then walked off the rostrum. Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris stated that the revival meeting would go on during the week. Rev. Skipwith visited the meeting row in progress at the Sixth Monut. Zion Baptist Church, on Wednesday night. He was invited to sing and speak. Rev A. W. Brown saying that no one would fuss with him there. Rev Dr. Skipwith left Wednesday to conduct a revival in Philadelphia. Rev. Yuill's Statement Rev. W. H. Skipwith will return here on Sunday, Dec. 5, 1926, and preach at the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church at 3:30 P. M. Subject, "Step on It." Thou art Weighed in the balances and art found wanting." In a conversation with Rev. Waverly Yull, he said, "Oh it was nothing. It was on account of an interference with my service. The other fellow was not to blame. Rev. Morris permitted him to interfere with my service and I was going to quit. I was going to leave that night anyhow as I am to leave the country and must make arrangements about my passports, etc. I have an engagement in Scotland, which will last a year. However, after the officers got together and said I would not be again interfered with, I consented to remain." NEWS OF ELVERTON, W. VA. There was a grand time at the Mt. Zion Church, Sunday, October 31, 1923 on the occasion of the dedicatorial services and corner-stone laving. Rev J. L. Green the pastor and his faithful members have given wonderful services in carrying the work of the Lord to success. At 11 o'clock Rev. J. J.

Richardson and others lifted the splendid offering for the day. Mr. Moses Spradey was Master of Ceremonies which were carried out successfully.

Houston, Texas, Nov. 6. 6-Handsome bronze medals were today conferred by the Texas Interracial Committee, in annual session here, to Sheriffs James Hilton of Orange Texas; Schuyler Marshall of Dallas; John C. Sanders of Marshall, and to Constable A. B. Carter of Azle, in recognition of notable diligence in the protection of prisoners from threatened mob violence. The medals, which are beautiful examples of the engraver's art, picture a heroic figure standing with drawn sword before the temple of justice, the whole encircled by the legend, "In defense of law and civilization." The several awards had been passed upon by a commission composed of Governors Henry Whitfield of Mississippi and John W. Martin of Florida, Marshall Ballard of Louisiana Judge Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia, Mrs. J. H. McCoy of Alabama, and George B Dealey of Texas, acting for the Southern Commission on Interracial Cooperation, which prepared the medals. In the case of Sheriff Hilton the award was made on the basis of successful efforts covering three days and nights to prevent the forming of a lynching party and to defeat other plans for private vengeance in an aggravated case at Orange in February, 1925. The award to Sheriff Schuyler Marshall of Dallas, was in connection with the spectacular repulse in May 1925, of a determined mob which assaulted the Dallas jail hundreds strong, and persisted in its purpose till actually fired upon by the Sheriff's forces, resulting in the death of one of its members. Sheriff J. C. Sanders of Marshall, had the unique distinction in August, 1925, of dispersing by an appeal all but thirteen members of a threatening mob of two hundred, and then of arresting the unlucky thirteen and locking them up in jail. The award to Constable Carter was based on his success in July of last year in inducing a mob to turn over to him its intended victim, by promising safe custody and a speedy trial. DEDICATE MONUMENT IN HONOR DEDICATE COLONEL, YOUNG (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Nov. 15.—A monument was dedicated to the late Colonel Charles Young, U. S. Army, Thursday, scores of citizens journeying to the grave in Arlington Cemetery, where a program was under the direction of James E. Walker Post, American Legion. Eulogistic addresses, paying tribute to the life and character of Colonel Young and calling attention to the fact that he held the highest rank ever attained by a member of the race in the Regular Army were delivered by Major O. J. W. Scott, retired, former Army chaplain: Col. John T. Axton, chief of the Chaplains' Corps, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treas. of Howard University. The program served the double purpose of according honor to Colonel Young and marking an appropriate observance of Armistee Day. "Through the years of the future, Charles Young will be recalled as an officer who made it possible by his high character, patriotism and devotion, for other men of his race to achieve high station as officers of the United States Army." declared Dr. Scott, "and we shall only venture to hope that the youth of his race may catch some portion of his undaunted spirit." Col. Young's son and other members of his family were guests of honor at the ceremonies, which were attended also by Col. Benjamin O. Davis, Ma. John E. Green, Harry E. Davis of Cleveland, and members of the Walker Lerion Post. Frank Coleman chairman of the Young Memorial committee, presided. GUNSHOT WOUND IS FOUND IN BOY'S BACK (Preston News Service) Ashbore, N.

CHICAGO WOMEN STRIKERS AGAIN ON PICKET DUTY (Preston News Service.) Chicago, Ill., Nov. 12. Because the officials of the Maras Date Stuffing Company refused to grant any of the demands of the 150 women strikers-militant picketing was resumed Wednesday morning. At the conference between the employers and the strikers the officials declared that they would not make any settlement until after the strikers went back to work under old conditions. And intimated that the "settlement" would be made when the bosses "were ready." The conference ended in a deadlock. The strikers received the news calmly and evidenced their determination to maintain their fight until the union won. Antone Johansen, of the Chicago Federation of Labor, is directing renewed activities aided by the Women's Trade Union League. The strike is now in its fifth week. It was called when the Maras Company posted wage reductions that would bring the workers' scale below a bare subsistence level. The women formed a union and are fighting for recognition of their organization as well as increased wages and better working conditions. They are being enthusiastically aided and advised by the officials of the Chicago Federation of Labor. WANTED—Transient or Permanent BOARDERS. Furnished Rooms with or without board.

ThisWeek By Arthur Brisbane 3 CHEERS FOR LABOR THE LOW COST OF 2-YEAR-OLDS COMPLETE IMMERSION 140 YEARS YOUNG Mr. Green, head of the American Federation of Labor, heaven bless him, declares that labor wants a powerful navy, that the United States may be properly defended and ready for trouble. Workmen would be worse than foolish to want a nation unprepared, since they bear the brunt when fighting comes. Big follow display their patriotism by making a fat profit in war. Little follows get shot, gassed, diseased, etc. Mr. Green and his Federation of Labor will no doubt advocate the right kind of preparedness. A great battle fleet in the air, another below the water. Submarines to destroy enemy ships as they come; airplanes to beat off airships, sink enemy merchantmen and war vessels. Those are the things this country needs. To be too fat doesn't necessarily mean over-eating. Often it means defective metabolism, imperfect elimination. A Prisoner fed on bread and water for two weeks gained three pounds. The bread and water diet put his system to work. Mothers and fathers should be interested in the fact that tuberculosis is increasing among young girls. Girls starve themselves to keep thin and tuberculosis germs attack a weak body with insufficient blood supply.

Schully of New York received the Congressional Medal for Life Saving. During his 18 years in the "business" he has saved more than 400 persons from drowning. all, the imperfect being all preserved, and children of the ablest made worthless by their fathers' money success. California's State Board of Health says a two-year-old baby costs less per day than at any other age—less sickness than at any time, less expense in other ways. From two to twenty years cost steadily rises. After sixty it falls off—fewer teeth, eat less, clothes last longer, life runs quietly and nonsense is calming down. All interesting, but the State Board does not tell us why we live at all, or why it was necessary to put us here in the first place. The Reverend Dr. Straton, ardent fundamentalist, objects to the Reverend Dr. Fosdick, who doesn't believe Joshua once stopped the sun in its journey around the earth, possibly because the sun doesn't go around the earth. John D. Rockfeller, Jr., sits under Dr. Fosdick. So that Rev. Straton attacks Mr. Rockfeller, for not believing that every Baptist should be baptised all the way up to the top of his head and a little higher. Mr. Rockfeller might reply, but doesn't that he is building apartments to rent at reasonable prices to those that can't afford high prices. That every apartment has its beth, so every tenant can enjoy complete immersion three times a day. Dr. Feodick will tell Dr. Straton that complete immersion was more important in old days, when nobody had a bathtub, and somebody had to set the good example. Irving Fisher, Yale professor, bets $10 to $1 that this will be a nation of octogenarians by the end of the century. That prediction is no exaggeration. Men, one day, will live habitually to be 140 years. But with a life average of eighty years only, it will be necessary to revise various things, including the age at which men marry. Population would soon become unwelldy if a race of octogenarians married at twenty or twenty-five years of age and went on having children for half a century. Nature, however, would find a way to take care of that. She always does. Seated? FRANK L. SMITH, IL at seats in the United States lectorate.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. With the approach of winter, comes the possibility of winter contagion, and the prevention of such seems a very rational thought at this time. We know that Jenner was a hundred years ahead of his time when he gave the world its most valuable preventive of smallpox. Only within the last ten or fifteen years have vaccines been extensively used for the prevention of other equally serious diseases. Vaccines have almost obliterated typhoid fever—with the increase of knowledge in sanitary precautions. One of the most dreaded diseases known today is scarlet fever. Children anywhere near a case of this terrible infection should be vaccinated by a good physician without delay. I believe that influenza can be prevented by the timely use of good vaccines; I vaccinated twenty-five patients during the epidemic of 1918, and twenty-three of them escaped the disease, one coming from an infected family. I do not know a single physician that claims to know a satisfactory treatment for the "du." We get the best information obtainable, but the best is meager. I would always advise vaccine in a threatened epidemic; it can do no harm, and may do a very great good. The virtue of anti-toxin in diptheria is well-established; so firmly so, as to make it an act of criminal neglect to fail to give anti-toxin in this deadly foe of our children. Some day we expect to walk in the light, and the vaccine treatment will come into its own—and it will lead all methods in what is known as "preventive medicine."

Too Much Efficiency By E.J. W.J. Watt and Co. Rath THE FILM "THE MASTER" BY ROBERT M. BURNS, AUGUST 1930. Jackson Barsett is said to be the world's richest Indian, but he recently sought financial aid from the Indian Bureau at Washington, D. C. His name in Oklahoma is tied up in litigation and is doing him no good, he claims. He says he's done a lot of court, which he and his white wife are always told. BEGIN HERE TODAY JOHN W. BROOKE, widower and hardwired magnate, arranges with a firm of efficiency engineers to arrange his home office for him. He will be away. He fails to impart his plans to his three nephews, John and Alice. They are very unpleasantly surprised when H. HEDGE, efficiency engineer, takes over the cares of Hedge has made himself at home in the private suite of Hedge has made library into an office. He cut off allowance of Billy and Constance because they refused to draw one-half her usual amount because she is still going to school. Constance, ready to quit a short time later, attempts to elope but is stopped by Hedge. She then reconsideres and comes Hedge's secretary. This reintulates 60 per cent of her allowance. Alice and Billy are apparently gone over to the enemy. They unburden their daily today while taking their daily dozen in the gymnasium. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "SHE'S quit us." said Billy. "I hate to say it, but what else can you make out of it?" "Nothing," admitted Alice. "Have you said anything to her about it?" asked Billy, after a pause. Alice shook her head. "I was hoping it wouldn't last," she said. "I thought maybe Connie just needed a little money very badly, and that after she got it she'd come back on our side again. So I haven't said a word. But she seems to be worse than ever now." "He was reading to her out of a book this afternoon." growled Billy. "Something about cutting out lost motion. What do you know about it?" Alice sighed and made a helpless gesture. "It leaves us out on a limb," continued Billy. "It was three against one until this started: now it's fifty-fifty. How can we expect to win out?" "We can't—alone. Connie isn't fair." "Do you notice the way they talk together at the table just as if we weren't there? You'd think they'd get enough of each other in the library. But they're not satisfied with that. I tell you, we're not getting a square deal!" "Well, what can we do. Billy?" He kicked a medicine-ball half way across the gymnasium floor and strode over to a window, as if he might discover a solution by staring out at the world. There was consternation below stairs. Mary wrapped her hands in her apron and sat staring moodily at the floor. "Wurrkin," she muttered. 'She's that desprit that she's wurrkin!' The poor child! An' wurrkin' for him! "A shame!" said Elvira. Mary looked up quickly. Mary looked up quickly. "A shame, say ye? An' by what right do you say things like thot? Who are ye to be sayin' 'tis a shame for the young mistress to do annoying?" "But, you said yourself—" "Lave be," commanded Mary sternly "Whin ye've been in this house eighteen years there's things we can say an' whin ye've been here in years there's things we can't say Kape yer place Elvira, an be puttin' no shame on Miss Connie" Elvira pursed her lips primly and fell silent. "Ay," said Mary after a heavy pause, "tis a shame to be seen' the poor child wurkin' the indy av her fingers off, hour in' an' hour out! 'Tis typewritten' he has her, too' the scout! The poor dear, thyrin' to punch kays, like me thyrin' to punch a clock, 'Tis the divil's shame.' Elvira kept her peace, mildly wondering at the inequality of privilege in speech. "The man has a heart av stone," announced Mary presently. "He's a wicked man," assented Elvira. "Wicked, is it? Niver let me hear ye say to again. 'Tis a sin to be sittin' in judgmint. Elvira. He's ejicated, which is more nor you an' me, an' a gintleman born. 'Tis wicked av ye to call him wicked." Mary devoted another period to gloomy reflection. gloomy reflection. "Tis wicked crool the way he R. J. Scoff "Tis a shame to be seein' the poor child wurrkin' the inds av her fingers off." dhrives her " she declared presently. There was something approaching consternation upairs at well. Although Alice and Billy watched the campaign and kept the great secret, their misgivings of final success to be easily shared. Their own fate was so directly involved that frequent reconnoissance were necessary. Alice proved to be the most efficient spy. She reported to Billy on a number of occasions that the relations between H. Hedge and his secretary were of the most cordial character. Alice was impatient at repeated evidences of amicable hours between the chief plotter and the victim. She still had confidence in her sister who usually achieved what she set out to perform, but it seemed to Alice that the patience of Constance was something more than human. Billy was less persistent in his observations, but such as he made were to the same general effect. Once, he resolved, for the sake of a better opportunity to watch the battle, that he had to ship Billy the resolution melted away. He tried to steel himself for the final degradation. He told himself it was not a horror of work per se; merely a shrinking from work per lidge. A most extraordinary day came when Constance, having been excessively diligent during a whole noon, remarked after lunce that, if Mr. Hedge did not absolutely require her assistance for a few hours, she would attend to some matters of shopping. The efficiency man not only gave a ready consent, but he went to the amazing length of suggesting that he had certain errands which called him aside the house, and suggested that he "must be permitted" to accompany her as far as their paths coincided. Might be permitted! Constance could with difficulty believe her ears. He was delivering himself into her hands! 'Could he go shopping with her? He could—and a radiant smile went with the permission. The occasion, being of a momentous character, required the services of the Brooke limousine. Alice, from an upper window, witnessed their departure, which was effected with the fully expeditionary escort of chauffeur and footman. She stared until the big car disappeared from sight down the avenue, then flung herself weakly into a big chair and indulged in a long period of thought. Constance began the campaign with feints intended to conceal major operations, and at the same time test the resistance of the enemy. Gloria was a feint. for instance. The enemy followed her into the glove shop. He did not intend to be obtrusive, but he appeared to be terrested in gloves. He watched the selection closely; once he made a sug gestion, which was, of course, accepted on the spect. Constance laid aside several pairs, after a deliberate examination of many dozen, and then casually inquired the price. She frowned doubtfully when the amount was men tioned. "So much?" she murmured in a surprised tone. "Wait, please." Followed then an examination of the contents of her purse. It was not by any means an empty purse, for Constance had been saving her daily allowance, chiefly because diligence and an efficiency secretary had afforded little opportunity for spending. The examination resulted in a shake of the head. She could buy the gloves easily but there were other things to buy. With an almost inaudible sigh she lifted four pairs of gloves from the approved selections and handed them back to the clerk. Among them, perhaps merely by chance, was the pair concerning which H Hedge had displayed in terest. "It will take the remainder" she said. The efficiency man gave a brisk shake of his head, reached for the condemned gloves, and placed them back on the pile. "We have an account here," he remarked. "The gloves may be charged." Constance was not quite sure whether she was surprised or not. She was always somewhat fearful of initial success. "I expected to pay for them," she said meekly still fumbling her purse. Charge the gloves," commanded H. "Hedge sharply, address the clerk. "Wap them up." Constance closed her purse with seeming reluctance "Why—thank you," she said. "I see no need," he answered. "There is an account here, is there not?" "But—" Constance checked herself wondering if it were wise to finish the sentence. "But what?" "We should have brought the standardization book and the requisition blanks," she faltered. The efficiency man eyed her narrowly but her face was impassive. "The records can be made out when we return home," he answered in a faintly annoyed tone. "I shall keep a memorandum." Whereupon he put down the paces of solemn, making use of a small loopeat note-book that was his inseparable companion.

RRS Ay | Aa SR Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., Richmond, Va., U. 8A. ‘My dear Sir: Regardless of what some people think or say, the greatest surety for the individual les in that’ of the ‘masses; ‘and, by serving the masses ‘one profits by the c.asses, ‘The government lives from taxes and tariff, and it is only when the peo: ple are generally prosperous* that the government is at its best. The same may be sald about the individ ual; it is only when ‘his neighbors are prosperous that his own chances ‘and happiness are most certain and convenient. The store keeper and the landlord, fare better when pros- perity abounds in all the classes and ‘with all the people. Education.has proven to be second only to labor itself in value. A person without education or Interest 4s not Table to read a newspaper. ete.; amd those who read. mostly read for @ purpose; these purposes vary. But {t 1s quite safe to say that the paper that satisfies the interost of its readers best will get their first support. The colored journalist, like all other specialists, must take this point tnto, consideration. The colored journalists write altogether too optimistically and light-hearted- ly about the race they are supposed to give information to and about; when that same race and its inter- ests are both in a most distressing condition, ‘This explains how the Negroes are so sadly noglected of the benefits that society owes them. ‘This is how they can be whipped and even killed, In the center of a large community; and beyond the bounds of that neighborhood nothing fs ever heard of it. .And the culprit welks about scot free to await the next victim. Those who know about it become afraid of him. And he, hearing about this, becomes less cautious in his brutality: only. for selfish purposes he makes friends with those who are more apt to challenge his braggadocio. Thus he and his friends do as they please, until somebody has courage enough to expore them, But if a poor un- protected person attempts this ex- posure he and all of his belongings are in danger of a similar fate. Now these things I have seen right near you. or to where you are. And neither the Negro. preachers, teachers nor papers would dare to make {t known to the public And if a stranger made too much fuss! about it some of these very same | cowards would go and tell the gang Jeaders. so as to get their favor in the future. | But no one makes serious inquiries about the happiness or unhappiness of the colored people, to give it pub- Meation in other parts. And, say, | do not think that only other Ne- groes want to Tnow about these | things; because 1 will tell you now, that, other people are more anxious | to know than the best Negroes know , how to be. It is for various rea- sons that the leading people of the country and of the world want peace | and progress among the citizens of every quartey. ‘hese people may | not be government officials but i their influence sometimes exceeds , that of a mere government official. Thus I plead for a more definite publication upon the general condi- tions of colored people everywhere, ! compared with those of other free’ people But the one that reports | shou'd be able to understand what | the differences are, If the publica-| tions can not conveniently be done | too near the spot; then let it be “dong at a romote distance from the: ‘spot. But, at any rate, let it bet done. And this will lift the colored people faster than any other way.’ The truth will free them! There, is a certain gang or group whom | T hope to reach in an offhanded way. Because these think that they are, beyond all earthly powers, they have : blocked many efforts and dote upon, their efficiency to keep it up; but the light being turned upon the con-) ditions of Negroes, in certain parts of the world, will cause inquiries Into those of others. And besides this, such is the only way to make the ‘colored press, in the U, 8. A. respected. ‘This may seem like non- sense to you, but it is just this kind of nonsense that makes the water , run from the spring. And it was rnon this kind of work that the iate | ohn B, Bree differed with me, and | tonght to hurt me, But I tell you. I am trying to he!p | the weak without killing the strong. It seems that certain Americans are heeinnine to feel alarmed about the safety of the Anglo-Saxon domina- tion.

D., State Registrar of Vital Statistics While there has been a great de- cline in maternity deaths since the discovery that childbed fever is a germ disease and that it need but rarely occur if the rules of absolute elbantiness are observed, there are still far more deaths than should occur, ‘There were in Virginia in 1925, 417 Puerperal deaths 215 white and 202 colored. This is 152 less than in 1920. One white mother fave up her life out of every 194 living children born, while the col ored fatality was one ‘mother to every 94 births, the rate being more than double that of the white, ‘This, of course, is accounted for by the fact that physicians are more xenerally employed by white fami- lies, while ‘the colored rely upon the inadequate care of ignorant and usu. ally dirty midwives.
