Leroy Fuller Killed by the Detectives--Tragic Happening Tuesday Night. South Carolina Tries to Extradite Secretary of the N. A. for A. C. P. VOLUME XLIV NO. 3 Railroad Are Ch CLARE Richmon Leroy Fuller Detectives pening Tue The body of the unknown colored man shot to death by Private Detectives T. C. Sweet and J. J. Dougherty, known as Seaboard Air Line special agents, was received at Funeral Director Robert C. Scott's morgue at 11:55 Tuesday night. The unfortunate man is of a brown complexion and is 5 feet 7 1/2 inches in height. The body is awaiting identification. According to a report of the matter made by Detectives Sweet and Dougherty to police, thieves had broken into the warehouse early in the night, taking ten cartons of cigarettes and piling them in a dark spot nearby with the evident intention of returning later and hauling them off. Meantime the two special agents found the cache, however, and sensing the situation decided to lie in wait for the robbers to come after their loot. New York, Nov. 19.—Startling developments in the exposure of conditions surrounding the recent lynching of one colored woman and two men in Aiken, South Carolina, include the following: 1. A letter from L. G. Southard, white lawyer who defended the mob victims, to Walter White asserting that the "bribery" charges against the N. A. A. C. P. investigator were "all bluff and intimidation," but that they represented "a scheme to get you back there to do violence to you." Mr. Southard volunteers to come North and appear before Governor Smith of New York to argue against extradition of Mr. White should extradition be demanded by Governor McLeod. Mr. Southard writes to Mr. White: "You started the work and that is what they do not want and they know that the world will know the guilty ones and that is another thing that they do not want." 2. A sworn affidavit has been sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at 69 Fifth Ave, signed by J. Murray Lane. a white man who was in court when Demon Lowman was acquitted and immediately afterward saw "law enforcement" officers "jugging around the jail" clearing away automobiles. The affidavit reads as follows: South Carolina Alken County. Personally appeared before me J. MURRAY LANE, sworn says. That on the afternoon and evening of October 7th, 1926, immediately after Demon Lowman had been declared Not Guilty in Court of General Sessions at Alken I was in and around Alken Court House at Alken S. C.. That Policeman Jas. Woodward came out and ordered all cars to move out from around the Jail and Schoolhouse. I saw juggling around the Jail by the officers Noelle Robinson A. D. Sheppard. Pink Caddy, Ed Andrews, and some others some I did not know. All of them appeared very SORE and MAD. This was between sundown and dark, right after court adjourned. I went on home and did not know that the three Lowmans had been taken from the Jail and lynched until the next morning. But I sure was expecting to hear it, from what I saw the evening before (Continued on Page 5.) About midnight the detectives saw an automobile containing several men drive up and stop. Then one of the occupants dismounted and came over to the prospective booty. He picked up two cartons and started off with them, when the detectives challenged him. The thief took to his heels, at which the guards opened fire with the result that he fell dead. The men in the car immediately started their motor and escaped. Sweet and Dougherty then notified police of the matter. They later made an inventory of the cigarettes and found that all the property taken from the warehouse had been recovered. The two railroad detectives were hailed for their appearance before Justice John Ingram in police court. A charge of murder was placed against T. C. Sweet and J. J. Dougherty.

RICHMOND VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVIMEIR 27.15.4 A Knife the Weapon--Operation Fails to Save Aubrey Epperson Aubrey Epperson was stabbed Saturday night at Harrison and Broad Streets, by Clarence Wright. Both were employed at Stuart Circle Hospital, the former being the elevator "boy." Epperson was removed to St. Philips hospital, where an operation was performed on him. He was 31 years of age and resided at 415 W. Clay St. His mother's name is Lula Epperson. He died at the hospital Sunday at 1:20 P. M. The knife penetrated the abdominal viscera. It is claimed that the men got into an argument and in the scuffle, Epperson was cut by Wright. The latter had not been apprehended at this writing. A visit to 413 W. Clay brought the information from the land lady that Aubrey Epps as he was called, but whose real name is Epperson roomed there. He was a quiet young man. He had been married. His wife was Elnora Beverly, who had since married again. She got a divorce from him. The lady said his wife's picture was in his room there now. He always spoke in the highest terms of her and said that the seperation was his fault. His mother and sisters lived here in the city. Clarence Wyatt, who cut him was at one time very friendly with him and had slept in the same room with him. Funeral Director A. D. Price was in charge of the remains. He was buried Wednesday from Funeral-Director Price's chapel.

Beside her parents she is survived by a brother, Ballard Edwards, treasurer of Monarch Band, three other brothers and two sisters. REV. DR. W. H. BFOOKS Pastor 19th St. Bapt. Church, Washington, D. C DR. BROOKS AT EBENEZER No in divine in this country seems to have the popularity with the Baptist colored folks of this city as is vouchsafed the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D., pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, of Washington, D. C. and a former resident of this city. To announce his name as the sneaker is to ensure a crowd at the services. The Ehonezer Baptist Church was packed Thursday morning, 25th inst. to listen to his annual Thanksgiving Sermon, which he will no doubt deliver here until the curtain is "rung down" upon his activities. The text chosen by him was found in Exodus 20th chapter and 2nd verse: "I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage." Subject: "The God of the Nation." This eloquent divine was at his best. He improves with age and those who listened to his magnificent oratorical deliverance will long remember all that he had to say Outside of what he says, there is muscled power in the manner in which he says it. NARROW ESCAPE Managing Editor William Conklin Brown of the Staunton Tribune was in the city last Wednesday and called on us. He and his associates had a narrow escape from death en route here from Staunton. The car, in which they were riding with Rev. E D. McCreary at the wheel turned completely over without injuring any of them. Three boys from the Booker T. Washinton High School were in the car at the time. The accident happened Wednesday afternoon about six miles beyond Ashland. A wrecking car had been sent to bring in the party. Mr. Brown was going to Hampton to see the football game between Virginia Union University and Hampton School and will return here Sunday. Bring us your job work. Send in your name and have the Planet delivered at your door. Carriers will perform this service at 5 cents per week.

A special circular, entitled, "An Appeal to all Colored Workers" has been put out by the Paper Box Makers' Union under manager Fred Coiola. The union's striking for recognition in all shops and improved working conditions. Colored strike-breakers have been brought in in some cases and are said to have even been made to assault white and colored pickets. The union declares that it does not discriminate against colored workers in any way and protects them in their jobs in peace times when employers urge the union to remove colored workers from shops. Colored members of the union are said to be staunchly fighting with the rest of the members for union conditions. The union circular appeals to non-union colored workers to consider that the employers will cast them aside when the strike is over, because they have no union to protect them and urges all to join the union fight. AT SIXTH MT. ZION Rev. A. W. Brown delivered a powerful sermon at the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church Sunday morning, 21st inst. Deacon Quinn Shelton and Chairman Branch had made appeals for money, asking for $100. The amount lifted was $102.14. Rev. Brown announced that there had been a total of 130 additions to the church as a result of the recent revival. One hundred of these were conversions. Editor John Mitchell, fr. of the Planet, who was present was urged to say a word and for about ten minutes he paid a glowing tribute to the work of the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church.

Branch Presides-Take Action RICHMOND LODGES ACT A meeting of the representatives of the lodges of Richmond was held, Monday night, Nov. 22, 1926, in the Pythian Castle, 727 N. Third St., with District Deputy George L. Branch presiding and Sir W. F. Denny, secretary. Prayer was offered by Col. Adolphus Jackson. The purpose of the meeting was stated, after which the following resolutions were read and after brief discussion unanimously adopted: THE TIDEWATER COUNCIL OF PAST CHANCELLORS KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS To Chancellor Commanders Officers and members of subordinate lodges: Greetings: The following resolution was presented to the Tidewater Council of Past Chancellors in session at Newport News, Virginia, October 31 1926. After careful consideration, same was adopted by the Council. Yours in F. C. & B., EUGENE WEST, SECTY. F. E. PURYEAR, Pres. To the Officers and Members of the Tidewater Council of Past Chancellors Knights of Pythias of Virginia: We present for your consideration the following resolutions: Whereas. There is widespread unrest, dissention and discussion among the Knighthood throut the State of Virginia, occasioned by a series of articles appearing in the columns of the Richmond Planet, a colored newspaper published and edited in the city of Richmond Virginia, by Past Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., which said article purports to disclose certain gross irregularities in the management of the affairs of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, Knights of Pythias in a general way and specifically allege that Hon Jos. R, Pollar, Grand Master of Exchequer, and Hon. W. H. C. Brown, Grand Attorney, with the connivance of Grand Chancellor W. B F. Crowell, grossly mismanaged the funds received from the Receiver of the Mechanics Savings Bank and that all of said funds have never been fully accounted for to our said Grand Lodge; and that the said W. H. C Brown is not a regular qualified attorney at law in accordance with the statutes of the State of Virginia, for such cases made and provided, and. Whereas, said publicity has done and is doing our beloved order much harm by lowering the same and its Grand Officers, in the estimation of the general public and Whereas a careful investigation and perusal of the records of the Clerks' Offices of the Virg inia Board of Law Examiners and the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, tends to substantiate the allegation that the said W, H C. Brown, is not a regularly qualified practitioner of law, and. Whereas because of present chaotic conditions that exist in the order throughout the state, and our small membership as well as the present condition of our treasury, the salaries of ($1800.00) eighteen hundred dollars per year for our Grand Chancellor and ($1000.00) one thousand dollars per year for our Grand Attorney, are too great a burden upon our present limited resources. Therefore Be It Resolved, first: that we go on record as condemning the practice of airing the internal affairs of our beloved order in the public press. Be It Also Resolved, that we call upon our Grand Chancellor to require our said Grand Master of Exchequer and Grand Attorney to prepare and submit to him an itemized accounting of the receipts and dues. PRICE, FIVE CENTS R! RSON. olutions. Unanimous. D. L. Branch Take Action bursements of the funds received and handled by them from the Receivers of the Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond, Va., and that we use our best efforts to have a special auditing committee of three members including at least one regular practicing attorney at law, created at our next Grand Lodge session to audit and report on said accounts, and that the services of a certified public accountant be obtained to assist said committee if necessary. Be It Also Received, that we use our best efforts to bring about the abolition of the office of Grand Attorney as it is now constituted and that we urge the Grand Chancellor to demand the resignation of W. H. C. Brown, as Grand Attorney by not later than November 10th, 1926, and that said office remain vacant until our next Grand Lodge session. Be It Further Resolved, that we use our best efforts to bring about a substantial reduction in the present salary of ($1800.00) eighteen hundred dollars per year, now paid our Grand Chancellor. Be It Further Resolved, that these resolutions be printed in circular form and a copy of same be sent to each subordinate lodge in the State. Respectfully submitted. Norfolk Chapter Past Chancellors, THROMAN CLARK, President. W. L. CUSTIS, Secretary. NOTE: The above resolution expressed the sentiment of our chapter, if same meets your approval, let us hear from you Address: W. L. CUSTIS, Secretary, 1021 Carrollton St., Norfolk Va. The additional resolution adopted by the Past Chancellors' Council of the City of Richmond, Thursday night at the Pythian Castle was offered as follows: Be It Resolved that a committee of three be appointed to take such steps at law as may be necessary to secure a refund of such monies as have been diverted from the treasury of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia and to take such other legal action as may be necessary to protect the interests of the aforesaid Grand Lodge. The motion was unanimously adopted. RICHMOND PAST CHANCELLORS GO ON RECORD The Past Chancellors Council of Richmond, Va., met, Thursday night, November 19, 1926, at the Pythian Castle, with Sir W. E. Brown presiding and Sir W. H. Byrd secretary. The resolutions received from Tidewater Council of Knights of Pythias and which were adopted by the body Oct. 31, 1926, at a meeting of that body at Newport News, Va., after it had been previously adopted by Norfolk Chapter of Past Chancellors were read and unanimously approved. An additional resolution directing the appointment of a committee to take legal steps for the refund of the money diverted from the treasury of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias was also unanimously adopted. Staunton, Va., Nov. 19.—This section of Pythianism has not recovered from the surprise occasioned by the action of the Tidewater Pythians and that this action is being approved not only here, but in all parts of The Valey goes without saving. The cry is, "What can be done of once to save the Order?" It is now realized that the publicity of the press has alone made this resolution in sentiment possible. Grand Chancellor W B F. Crowell has permitted himself to be so enmeshed in the schemes of W. H. C. (Continued on page 4.) a eer (Giger ET W\VF yn i 1 ee Za Qe eee Ye es 9. 2p , eee Ue pe.

DETECTIVES KILLED HIM Some time ago, the white press of this city waged an editorial warfare against the indiscriminate use of firearms by members of the Police Department. As a result, arrests are being made in the city with little or no risk to the sleuths, which Chief R. B. Jordan has marshalled for the defense of this community. Private Detectives T. C. Sweet and J. J. Dougherty killed an unarmed colored man at 16th and Franklin Streets last Tuesday night. It is all right to say that the man had no business there and he should not have been there. In all probability the ring, which is conducting this systematic thieves and enjoying the profits therefrom is safe from pursuit and the school pigeon" lies stark and stiff in the If he had been captured and subjected to a rigid cross examination, he might have given information which would have prevented future robberies. There is no evidence to show that the man killed was the main culprit and there is no death penalty for running, when a man is hailed by an officer in uniform, much less when the hailing is done by private detectives in citizens clothes. Two powerful men with revolvers stand off and shoot a man down as though they were at target practice. Human life is held too cheap. Still, all of these things will be corrected in their own time. We slaughter each other and then private detectives follow suit and kill a man for stealing. It may be that these detectives were church members and had high ideals about appropriating for their own use their neighbor's goods. Our advice to our people is to be honest, religious, practicing the fundamental principles of right and trusting in God. There is a lesson in this for the people who are living by their wits. It emphasizes the fact that "the wages of sin is death," but who believes that Private Detective T. C. Sweet and Private Detective J. J. Dougherty have been selected to carry out the mandates of the Almighty? O! The pity of it! THE HALL MILLS HORRORS Whatever the verdict of the Hali-Mills murder jury, there can be no justification for the brutal and prejudiced policy that prosecutor Simpson has pursued. No horror has been omitted from the Jersey Senator's depth to break down the nerve and sanctity of the accused widow and her brother. Only those calmed and sustained by a Supreme confidence could have come through the chamber of inhuman horrors through which he has led the aristocratic woman. Neither the inquisition of Spain nor the terrorism of the Bolshevists was a more fendish trial nor a more vicious appeal to class and race prejudice. The incessant display of the murdered couples clothing before the eyes of the accused might have been justified in a third degree attempt to wring a confession from an habitual criminal. But the sudden production of the effigy of the murdered pain and the mimic cutting out of the dead woman's throat and her vocal organs was a ghastly torture wreak upon which the ghoulish candidate for Governor of New Jersey hoped to punish his helpless victims. Such revolting court play would have broken down the nerves of the strongest innocent man or woman.

Name Address any American Court. There was but one other trick for the unscrupulous persecutor to pull. That was to appeal to the race prejudice of the jury. The press publicity and the trial conduct of the Simpson organization from the first centered a racial attack against the character of Nellie Russell, the colored star witness against the "Pig Woman" accuser and for the defense. She was called as a witness. She had been discredited by Simpson in the eyes of the jury as a "conjuring, characterless Negress." That was not enough Mrs. Hall's brother "Willie" Stevens had to be made a "Negro" to fit in with the first tale of the pig woman. So Simpson is now engaged in a sordid, stealthy effort to make him an illegitimate colored half brother. Surely the decent citizens of New Jersey, white or well colored will not forget the applicable conduct of Senator Simpson.

Just who signed the order to draw this money from the treasurer has not been disclosed. Some say here that it is reported that the six hundred dollars were taken out when the money received from the receivers of the Mechanics Savings Bank was turned over to the treasurer.

STILL WAITING Rock That Rancher Fed His Chickens Proves Granite; Brings Wealth THIS is the story of a combination chicken ranch, eucalyptus grove and rock quarry which was made a "small" rancher wealthy R. E. White went to San Diego, Calif., several years ago with enough money to invest in a few acres and a few hundred chickens. For many months he struggled along with his brood, nursing a rapidly depleting bank account. One day he discovered on the corner of his ranch a white substance which looked like a fair substitute for the grit he had been purchasing for his chickens. He rubbed it in his fingers. He scooped up a few quarts into a pail. He fed it to his flock Chicks Thrive Nothing happened to the chickens and he "mined" a few more buckets of it. These went the way of the first, and the feathered egg-layers thrived. In a year or so White's chickens began to pay, and he looked around for new endeavors. He looked often and intently at the corner of the field whence he had come the grit, and one day he took a wheelbarrow there and, with no particular end in view, took a few loads away. Underneath he found solid rock. stock had ruined many farms, but not the White ranch. He took out a sizeable specimen and had it assayed. "Granite," read the brief report.

The other fourteen motorships are following right along with will be in service by next summer. The government's decision to convert some of its steamships to the cheaper oil power is attributable to the wonderful strides which foreigners have been making in fast motorships. The government's program is encouraging American engine builders and has resulted in the development of a new type of marine motor which gives marvelous performance and is only little more than the weight of the earlier type of four-cycle, single-acting Diesel engine. The "Tampa" is equipped with the new two-cycle, double-acting four cylinder marine Diesel engine especially developed for the government by the Worthington Pump and Machinery Corporation. A smaller model of this engine is now in operation on the Great Lakes in the "Steel Chemist" of the U. S. Steel Products Company.

It is equipped with alloy steel cylinders to withstand heat and stresses. It delivers power on each piston stroke, and shows great flexibility of operation, reversing on an average. in 8.55 seconds completely from full load, and its best reversing time was 18 seconds. A thirty-day test shows it consumed 14 tons of low grade crude oil 24 hours as compared with 55 tons required by a steam engine of equal speed when running at the same speed. It delivers about 8,000 horsepower. The "Tampa" is 416 length overall: 54 feet moulded beam and has a deadweight capacity of about 9,400 tons. She probably will go on a South American run. News of the government's success in its motorship conversions comes almost simultaneously with the announcement that the United States lines operating government ships have paid a dividend. Because of the success of American industry in standardized multiple production, known popularly as mass production. Uncle Sam needs more ships to carry his "groceries" on the seven seas.
