THE RICHMOND PLANET DEATH ON RAILS Times-Dispatch Kills Alleged Offensive Feature. VOLUME XLIV NO. 5 Times Tiger Flow Officer Shoots Burglar John William Russell, age 30 years, was captured Friday night at 4:20 A. M., while in the act of robbing the Post Office Sub-Station conducted by the well-known colored confectioner, B. M. Morris at the south east cor. of First and Leigh Sts Mr. Morris and his Madame were sound as eep. The watchful patrolman J L Walker saw things that convinced him that matters were not right in the store and he walked him on the burglar, who attacked him with the chalk. The officer took pains not to kill, but "winged" his man by shooting him in the arm. A flesh wound resulted. The prisoner gave 509 Cathine street as his home address. The substation was previously conducted by Confectioner King, a well known business man here. Russell is charged with breaking into a postal station and resisting an officer. MR. VAUGHAN'S STATEMENT John G Vaughan, brother-in-law of B. T. Kenny, an officer in the Commercial Bank & Trust Co., and partner of Alvin L Campbell in the Dining Room Department of the Biltmore Hotel and who operates Vaughan's Tokio Cafe at Second and Clay Streets and a string of enterprises, was interviewed concerning the burglary at Morris' Confectionery. ON THE WAY HOME He said, "I had closed up at about 3:30 Saturday morning, in company with my partner, Mr Campbell. He left me at Second and Leigh Streets. He was on his way to his home, 100g N. Second Street and I was on my way home, going to my residence, Chamberlayne Avenue and Duval Streets. I saw the window of this confectionery at 101. E Leigh Street cut out on the side next to Mr. Joe Westray's residence. My suspicions were aroused. I heard a noise on the inside. I was unarmed. I knew my partner owned a revolver. I walked slowly by the window and passed down First Street north to overtake my partner. SAW A MATCH-LIGHT "I turned to look back and I saw the light of a match, which had been struck. I overtook Mr Campbell at Second and Jackson Streets and we came back together. When we got to the corner of First and Leigh Streets, Policeman Walker had just gotten to the door and was hailing us. He said some one was in there. I said, yes. for I have just passed here and I heard some one in there. I told him I had a revolver. He said 'Go around the back way and hold him. If he comes out, shoot him. Don't let him get out of the back way.' HAD BROKEN THE PANE 'In the meantime, he kept saying, 'Come on out of there. I know you are inside.' I said to Mr. Campbell. 'While I am watching here, you go and wake the people in the house. The policeman had broken the page of glass out of the door and had gone inside. Then I came around and went in behind the officer. Then he went into the back. I heard a tusle and then a pistol shot. I went back to the officer and there the burglar was found huddled under the post-office desk. We carried him out the front and I turned on the electric light in the confectionery.' Then Mr. Morris and his wife came out. The fellow knew me for he called my name.' This ended the interview. LEFT HOME NEVER TO RETURN. FAMILY SHOCKED—BODY IS HORRIBLY MUTILATED. The badly mutilated body of an aged colored woman was found Sunday morning, December 5th, on the Atlantic Coast Belt Line tracks Cor- oner Whitfield viewed the remains and turned them over to Funeral Di- rector A. D. Price, Jr. The head was fractured and the left arm across from the shoulder had been severed from the body. The right leg had been cut off below the knee. She was identified through the efforts of Lawrence Henry and John T. Faunt- leroy. WILL NEVER KNOW The body was down on the railroad tracks under the Broad Street bridge which tracks had been depressed some years ago. Just how she got out there, several miles from her residence will never be known. Her name is Mrs. Oney J Coeman. She leaves a daughter, a son inlaw and several grandchildren. She belonged to the old type of colored folks and had many friends in this community. ALLEN IN CHARGE M. E. Allen brought the party to the Price morgue. He holisted it to the main road level with a derrick, as it was impracticable to bring it up in the ordinary way. She resided at 907 N. Fourth Street, where her daughter was interviewed. She stated that her mother left her home Sat. afternoon at 5 o'clock to visit their old house at 1012 Hickory Street. The funeral service moved the remains from the scene of the accident at 11:30 Sunday morning. The left hand was practically frozen. THE WRONG DIRECTION It is more than a mile from 1012 Hickory Street to the point where her body was found. It may have been that in wandering about to return home, she took the wrong direction and lost her bearings, fa- ling over the steep sides of the em- bankment to hte tracks below. NOTICE A Meeting of the representatives from the various lodges of the city will be he'd, on the second Tuesday night in December to make arrangements for the installation of the officers of the Knights of Pythlas' lodges.

Olive Baptist Church moves in her new building at Stop No. 12, Richmond-Petersburg Pike, Sunday December 5. 1926 The Dedicatory Services will begin Sunday, Dec. 12, and close Dec. 17, 1926 All friends are welcome to worship with us in these services REV. J. S JOHNSON' A.M., D.D. Pastor. JAMES M. BROWN, Clerk. The Richmond, Va. Times Dispatch has ceased publication of its "Good Morning, Judge" column, which had caused a turbo among the colored population here. The attack upon this feature was led by Prof. Gordon B Hancock, of Virginia Union University, who was sustained in his objections by the Baptist Ministers Conference. The following editorial appeared in the Times-Dispatch, on Monday, December 6, 1926: Preferring to run the risk of going wrong on the right side to the possibility, however remote, of going wrong on the wrong side. The Times-Dispatch has ceased publishing its Good Morning, Judge column. Ordinarily, when a newspaper "outs" a feature of any sort there is no occasion to comment on its course. In this case, the situation is some what out of the ordinary; it supplies the text for a small and friendly serion and it calls for a brief explanation. The sermon: Most people have an idea that, as they put it, "Newspapers are always looking for something to fill their columns with," and many people go so far as to believe, or say: "Newspapers will print anything." As a matter of fact, every daily newspaper published in a fairly large city habitually throws away something like twice as much as it actually prints: the prob lem is not to find something to publish, but to find space in which to publish what should be published to make a reasonably complete newspaper. As a matter of further fact, reputable newspapers — especially home newspapers — weigh everything they publish with all the care possible when the requirements of speed are taken into account: they weigh not only the news value, but the general value, of what they publish—realizing that they must produce a readable product if it is to perform its duty to the public. And this leads directly to the Good Morning, Judge column which calls for The explanation: That column, with its report of proceedings in the court which is the most highly charged with human interest, with its bright quality and with its distinct flavor of comedy, was a valuable news feature. It was so widely read and widely enjoyed that it constituted a valuable asset to The Times-Dispatch as a readable and interesting newspaper. It has been discontinued to the disadvantage of this paper's news columns, solely because The Times-Dispatch, on its public-spirited side, fears its publication might work some injury to the community. Complaints from some of this news paper's colored friends have been considered, have been discussed with prominent and able colored men—notably M Alphonso Norrell, who managed the Colored Elks' Convention so brilliantly—and the weight of the evidence has been that the column has been, not only devoid of offense, but amusing to an overwhelming majority of our colored people. But a letter from one of Richmond's most distinguished women, who prefers that her name be withheld, throws another light on the matter. The ground on which she bases her objection is that the column tends to make comedy of proceedings in the Police Court, and therefore, puts the court "into the business of fun-making," which no court can afford. That had been considered by The Times-Dispatch; but it had been thought that, as no comedy was put into the mouth of the police Justice the objection was without merit. As such a woman as our correspondent sees the court in "the business of fun-making," however, the objection has merit and is sustained. In the judgment of The Times-Dispatch, the Police Court is the most important court in Richmond: it is the only court, in effect, known to those who must be taught to respect the law, it is the final court, in effect, to a majority of those who are haled before it; it is the court before which most uneducated offenders must appear; and it is, therefore, the court to which every extraneous ally should be held with dignity of the law should be given. As a newspaper, The Times Dispatch is loath to eliminate a bright and popular news feature. As a public servitor, The Times-Dispatch without priggishness—has reached the conclusion that it must discontinue that feature. ESCAPES FROM HOSPITAL. (Preston News Service) COLUMBUS, O., Dec 10—Emery Harris, aged 26, whose skull was fractured in an automobile accident November 26, took "French leave" from Grant Hospital where he had been confirmed, early Wednesday morning, in his home where Corporal Garrett and Patron man Ewing found him and returned him to the hospital. Harris was attired in a hospital shirt and his trousers. How he escaped from the hospital has not been determined He was struck by an automobile driven by F. F. Sutter, at Fifth and Long Streets. SHEPHERDS HOLD BIG RALLY. Local members of the I. O. Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem held a membership rally last Friday night at the Samaritan Hall, Sixti' and Duval Streets.

The reds are in the lead Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, Grand Shepherd delivered an inspiring address and the members were cheered to learn of the success of the order Refreshments were served MAN SHOOTS WIFE AND CHILD IN QUARREL OVER MONEY. TURNS GUN ON SELF; BUT LOSES NERVE TO S'LOOT (Preston News Service.) (Pleasant News Service.) NEW YORK, Dec 10 10—John Burgess aged 38, started something that he could not, at least, he did not firsh, when he determined t) kill his wife, children and himself. According to the police, Burgess and his wife, Mrs. Jane Burgess, had been having frequent arguments over money matters which Burgess decided to end forever. Thursday morning when his wife started chasing him about his shortcomings, he determined to kill her, his two children and himself. He told the police that he found the pistol in an ash can. He lost his nerve when it came time to point the pistol at himself, he said. He was discovered in the cellar under his apartment by the police a short time after the shooting which aroused the neighbors, who notified the police. Mrs. Burgess, aged 30, and his daughter Enid, aged 18 months, are in the Harlem Hospital suffering with bullet wounds. Mrs. Burgess is expected to recover. His other daughter, Gloria, aged three, escaped being shot by running out in the hallway when Burgess fired the first shot. (Preston News Service.) COLUMBIA, S. C., Dec. 9.—No definite legal action will be taken against the suspected members of the mob that lynched and murdered the three Lowmans on October 8, last, until the regular term of the court meets the latter part of January, Governor McLeod indicated Thursday following a conference with Attorney General Daniels and Solicitor Carter of the circuit including Alken. It is believed that Governor McLeod is attempting to dodge the issue by procrastinating the investiture as long as possible as his term of office will expire January 23 and the further work will continue the horrible crime will then fall into the hands of another administration. He is thought that in this way McLeod will save his hide from the capturing vengeance of the blood thirstyzens of South Carolina and pass the back on the next administration, which will probably find it impossible, after much delay, to find sufficient grounds on which to proceed with the prosecution of the suspected killers. It is claimed that the entire State is dominated by men of Senator Cole Blease calibre and thus there is no chance for a Negro to get a semblance of justice in that State while such men are in control. South Carolina is said to be a seething pot of political intrigue. Few men, at this time dare brook the will and wishes of Blease and his cohorts. The good white citizens of the State have long since discarded politics and declare openly that almost everything is dominated by crooked politics in the State. Many brave and upstanding editors ministers and lawyers of the State are loud in their denunciation of the present administration as well as the incoming one. They declare that these officials are bound hand and foot by Blease and his gang of political shysters and the State will suffer disgrace as long as such men are in political power. It is hoped by many that this Lowman incident will serve to arouse the conscience of the voters of the State and cause them to take a new interest in politics and strive for a cleanup from the state capital down to the local justices of the peace. A northern observer, who is spending some time in the State, says that many whites of the State inform him that they have doubts as to the ability of the people ridding the State of such political monsters and Blease Some say that the State has been in the throes of such men as Blease since the days of Havne and Calhoun. Others are hopeful of a general cleanup within the course of the next few years and look upon the Lowman incident and the unfavorable reputation it has given the State by the wide publicity it has caused.

CLAIM TIGER WAS FRAMED IN BOUT CHICAGO, December 3.—Mickey Walker, former world's weiterweight champion, won the world's middleweight title tonight when Referee Benny Yanger awarded him the decision after ten furious rounds. Walker scored two knockdowns, dropping Flowers in the first round and again in the ninth. As quickly as the decision was given twenty or more police swarmed into the ring to maintain order, until Flowers and the new champion could get to their dressing rooms. The verdict first drew a round of booes. William Hale Thompson, former Mayor of Chicago, declared it his opinion that the fight was "framed" and that the decision should be reversed by the commission. "I think the fight was a 'fake' and was framed." Thompson was quoted. "In fact, friends of mine were told to bet on Walker several days ago. They were informed the fight was 'in.' I think a half million dollars changed hands on the fight." Streets. We issued an "extra" for Saturday and Sunday relative to the capture of a colored burglar in the store of Mr. B. M.

SATURDAY..DECEMBER 11, 1923 The good-time crowd usually land in the bad-time poorhouse. Modesty seems to be an unknown quantity among many of the rising female generation of today. People, who strive to do right are subjected to the ridicule of those, who strive to do wrong. Some people grumble all of the time and some other people grumble most of the time. The reports coming from Africa would seem to indicate that it is a White Man's Country with a Black Man's Name. You cannot reach Heaven by talking about it while raising h—l down here. You are liable to get what you raise. Life is a struggle and a hard struggle at that. You must first strive and work for yourself in order to get God to help you. The charge of a third term for this high office is the danger lurking in the naming of Calvin Coolidge as the Republican candidate for the Presidency of the United States. President Calvin Coolidge's message to the Congress is a great State paper and is a clarion call to the nation. It would seem that his nomination as a candidate for the presidency will be the logical result of his method of handling an embarrassing situation. It seems to be conceded that the people of this Nation are opposed to being embroiled in the troubles of the Nations of Europe. The World War seems to have taught them a lesson and it will take about one hundred years for them to forget it. President Coolidge is in favor of Federal legislation on the lynching question. He insists that the National Government should undertake to do what the State Governments fail to do.—protect citizens in their right to life and property. People, who want to go to Africa should accumulate enough money and go there. For our part, the African's country belongs to the Africans and their first duty should be to look after their own country. The process of regeneration and redemption must begin from within. Marcus Garvey is enjoying the respect of his neighbors, even though they are in the Atlanta Penitentiary. He should be released. It will be not a dark, but a bright chapter in his eventful life for he has no business in there. Envy, hatred and a desire to persecute has always returned "to plague its inventors" and it will continue so to do. COLONEL LEWIS GONE With the passing of Colonel Matt N.

We have known him personally for more than forty years. He was a devoted friend and an implacable enemy. He enjoyed the confidence of some of the leading white citizens of this State. He held high office at one time under the Federal Government and conducted himself in a manner that won the plaudits of his political associates and admiration of his political enemies. Newport News will miss him greatly, while other sections of the State will mourn his loss. Honored in life, he is respected in death. We gently lay this wreath of sympathy upon his grave and bid him adieu until the sounding of the last trump'. Then we shall meet him again.

HARRIETTE ADAMS, Proprietress ARKADELPHIA SCHOOL FOUR ARE HELD IN CONNECTION WITH KILLING OF REV. ELMO HAMES, OF A. P. ACADEMY. ARKADELFNIA MK. Dec. 19. A sensation was caused here Wendes day by the arrest of Mrs. Ida Feuster, Terrell Austin Charles Bell and Olie Triggs on a charge of first degree murder in connection with the death here, September 23, of the Rev Elmo Hames, minister and president of the Arkadelphia Presbyterian Academy. At the time of the man's death it was believed that the minister had committed suicide. The woman and the three men were arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Wiley Cook and Harold Bachelor, after a warrant had been issued by Justice Robert Johnson on evidence presented by a Negro detective, whose name the officials would not reveal for fear of violence to him. The four were placed in the county jail to await a preliminary hearing and were held to the grand jury. No bail was granted. The detective was in the employ of the Northern Presbyterian Church, (white) which owns the academy here, Mrs. Ida Feaster is the widow of the late Rev. W. D. Feaster, for many years president of the Academy, who died about a year ago. After his death she was in charge of the school until the election of Rev Hames as president. Hames came here from Little Rock last summer. The body of Hames was found in his home on the campus shortly after seven o'clock in the morning with three bullet holes in his chest and left shoulder and the throat cut, Hames' razor and revolver were found to have been used in the deed.

J. Bryan—something hard to do. Bryan had one great quality, and you could say, as it is said of another, "That man believes every word he says. Such men are dangerous." There is a tremendous power in sincerity, and, right or wrong, on gold, silver or prohibition, Bryan had that power. Dr. Lorenz, "bloodless surgeon of Vienna," says science is injuring humanity by keeping the unfit alive. Nature tries to wipe out those not fit to perpetuate the species. Science prolongs their lives and adds unfit children to the population. Red Indians used to kill babies that did not seem vigorous, and killed all children born deformed. That didn't make a great conquering race of the Indians. Some of the most useful men, Voltaire for instance, would have died in infancy but for extraordinary scientific care. Pope, who wrote the "Essay on Man" and other things worth while, would have been killed had he lived among the Indians. He had to be sewed up in a canvas jacket each day that he might snip up and write. And consider the good moral effect that helping the unfit has in the abler types. What we call utility is largely a philanthropic maxim for the prosperous. A Stock Exchange seat sells for $170,000. The highest price on record, but a great deal too low.

The value of Exchange seats shows that it is better to buy and sell things than to make them. You know how cotton growers feel just now. In some places cotton isn't worth picking.

Babindrantha Tagore (fine, old poet of Bombay) joins Europe's hymn of American hate. He won't come here again; did not like us last time. We are "too aggressively anti-Asiatic and selfish." We are not "aggressively anti- Asiatic," but we notice that India in five thousand years has done nothing but turn from slavery under the rajahs to slavery under Britain and rajahs combined. We, on the other hand, have done seven alleged things, steamboat, flying ma- chine, automobile, telephone, phon- graph, radio, in much less than five thousand years. We don't believe that Asia and America would go in harness any better than a yak and a submarine. Nevertheless, we like Asia, all but the rajahs, caste, suttee and child marriage—and Britain is attending to them. Are you inclined to empathy? It's the new word of psychologists, and explain stories of witnesses, describing in detail what they never saw. That new word may play a part in the Halls-Mills murder case. First we think about a thing with sympathy. Then we get mixed, inject ourselves into the affair, in our imaginations, and soon are ready to swear, with perfect sincerity, that we saw what we never saw. Dreams lead to empathy. You dream you saw a friend in a certain place, think about it, and in a week you believe that you dreamed of him and then saw him, just where you had dreamed of him. And you tell your friends how your dream came true, when it did nothing of the kind. Beware of empathy. The world is full of it.

DIET AND AGE "What is one man's antidote is another man's poison" refers more to the age of the man, than to the matter of chemistry. Age has its limitations of capability; to go beyond the limit may be very dangerous for the man grown old. Almost every day we read of the death of a man, fifty-five to sixty-five, who was in good health apparently, the evening before. The report generally is, that he ate heartily the last meal preceding the attack of cerebral hemorrhage; the conclusion I draw is, he might have lived right along, if he had only fed according to the needs of his body. No aging or aged man needs more than one-third of the food of which he usually partakes. The young, active man, strenuously employed, may eat quantities and qualities of food that astound—and feel no inconvenience thereafter; his capabilities are almost unlimited; his digestive apparatus is new; he has the ability to cast aside the elements that he does not need; with the old man or woman; it is a different matter. I once saw a woman of 52, in apparent good health, topple over from her dinner-table, unconscious; she had eaten at least a half-gallon. She became conscious several days later, from her cerebral attack. She remained paralyzed in the right arm and limb, for eight years—then, died from a second "stroke." If she had but refrained from that first meal! Nothing comes by chance; there is always a cause. 1926 All-American Hanson ..... L.B..... Spracuse Wichheret ..... L.T..... Navy Connaughton .....

Rath New Armored Car Carries Radio CITY OF NEW YORK During the recent automobile show in Berlin this new type of armored car carrying a radio broadcasting station was exhibited. BEGIN HERE TODAY JOE W. BROOKE, widower and hardware magante, arranges with a firm of efficiency for a period of two months that he expects to be away from the Billy Brooke Constance, Billy Brooke Allison, aware of this arrangement until the arrival of the efficiency engineer, who takes over complete control of the Brooke household, the owner's suite and turns the librarian. Hedge has cut off Billy's allowance because he refuses to work. She, on the day after Hedge stopped her elopement with Tommy Trendwell, decided, for himself, to become his secretary. One notable success in Connaught's skill was the purchase of a new dress for apparel with Hedge's personal approval. Today Connaught has found the private drawer in her apartment, examination shows that Hedge is planning to write a book with "The Idle Rich" as the subject. With consternation when she finds that he decided to make her the subject of two chapters—before and after the application of scientific care, Connaught ordered Horace, the butler, to produce Hedge immediately. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY THE efficiency man was prompt, and evidently expectant. When he walked briskly into the room he was smiling happily. He knew that, no matter how coy or whimsical the young lady might be, she could not turn off daylight by pressing a button. H. Hedge told himself that the moment was at hand. He stopped abruptly as he saw her, and there was swift questioning in his look. Constance was pointing with a rigid arm at the manuscript on the desk. "Did you write that?" she asked grimly. He followed the direction of her gesture, readily identified the manuscript at a glance, and nodded. "And you dare even to think that you are going to publish it?" Constance had abandoned all of the carefully plotted campaign. No more stealth now; it was war in the open. "I've been thinking of that very thing," he answered coolly, with a swift change to his most efficient manner. "I forbid you!" "I think you are attempting to reverse our positions, Miss Brooke." He decided that it would not be fitting, under the circumstances, to say "Connie." The type of the idle rich surveyed him with a stabbing glance of scorn. My father will deal with you," she said in a terrible voice. "Let's not talk about that. It's fule. And please remember that, to all intents and purposes, for the time being, I am your father. And by what authority do you examine my personal papers?" Constance did not condescend to explain. She eyed him for several seconds from head to foot, and to his credit it must be admitted that he withstood the scrutiny with courage. But it was not of the friendly, mirth-provoking kind that invites accompaniment. "What a fool you are!" she exclaimed. H. Hedge stiffened visibly, but made no comment. made no comment. "And I'm the person who made a fool out of you." She laughed again harshly. "Perhaps you'd better explain," he suggested lely. "I will. That's exactly what I'm going to do-explain." She pointed again at the manuscript. "I'm a 'perfect type,' am IF" she said. "And I have a 'fairly good brain. Thank you so much for that, Mr. Hedge. I am idle and evra-gant—or I was. That's the funny part—was.' I am to have two whole chapters—one before and the other after taking. What a generous amount of space! I'm going to be a public. I suppose, of course, you intend to use my full name?" She paused to laugh again. The efficiency man remained impassive. "I'm going to be made famous in a most wonderful book. I'm going to show the 'gradual influence of reform'. Delightful! And you are the reformer—the 'dominant mind'. Even I am not hopeless—it says so in your book. Already I show the effects of 'rigid discipline'. Oh, it's exquisite! Have I really reformed, Mr. Hedge?" "Until just now you have shown gratifying progress," he answered. R.J.SCOURT "See! Here's for your book!" Constance's laughter overcame her again. "And you believe—that!" "I—er—had no reason to doubt it." "You poor, poor creature!" The efficiency man was mystified and beginning to appear uncomfortable. Was it possible he had made a miscalculation? The only thing that was very clear in his mind was an impression of a spirited and attractively angry young woman. "Let me tell you something, Mr. Hedge, and then you will see what a fool you have been. You didn't know I was fighting you all the time, did you? You thought because I was willing to come in here and work that I had surrendered. Oh, it's rich! Just because I'd given up making an open fight, you thought it was all over. Oh, you were so much easier than I thought!" She regarded him with a pitying smile. "Why, I was just playing with you—for what I could get out of you!" she exclaimed. "And I got it, too. All sorts of things—hats, and all sorts of games and everything that you'd been seen and have. And I've made you break your rules a dozen times, until it has become positively monotonous." A dull red creep into the cheeks of H. morsels. The two chapters on the perfect true has proved to be the final turning point. "She was burning her bridges now. "Just playing with you." she repeated. "And your whole wonderful system went to smash under it. And you thought you were reforming it. It was so easy to lead you, too. You never even suspected. You were so sure that you wrote it all down, so it could be put in a book. A book! I think you one myself. How would you like to be one of my book, Mr. Efficiency Man!" Hedge made no answer. "Well, why don't you say something?" she demanded. "I'm waiting for you to get through, Miss Brooke." She made a sudden dash to the table and seized the manuscript notes in her hands, waving them aloft with a hysterical gesture. "See!" she cried. "Here's for your book!" She tore the pages across and tossed them into the open fire. An instant later the diary followed them, and she did not make an effort to stay her hands. For a full half-minute she faced him, her bosom heaving, her eyes alight with excitement. "There! That's the end of that!" she exclaimed. "You'll never put me in a book! I—I—" Her voice broke abruptly, and she was shaken by a tempest of weeping. H. Hedge surveyed her quietly and with no trace of emotion. "Take a seat," he said sharply. "An soon as you get through with that job stuff. I'm going to do the talking. And it's going to be some talk!" Constance scatted herself, not because of any command from the efficiency man, but in response to a sudden collapse of belligerency. She was terrified at what she had done. She had tossed another person's treasures into the fire without so much as asking leave or serving notice and the reaction was abrupt. The calmness of H. Hedge frightened her. Leaning limply forward in the desk chair, she buried her face in her arms and continued to sob. The efficiency man watched her for a moment, alternately frowning and smiling. He had promised her a talk, but he was uncertain about the beginning of it, even though he had a clear notion of the ending. "Miss Brooke!" he snapped. "She told you." "Are you listening, Miss Brooke?" There was a faint nod, although she did not raise her head from the desk. "You'd better listen," he said grimly. "Because everything is going to eternal smash in the next ten minutes. This is Judgment Day, and we are going to get what is coming to both of us—pronto!" Still she did not stir. But she was listening in spite of her sobs. "Pronto means all-of-a-sudden," he added. There was a brief pause in which he devoted more study to the coil of brown hair. "All bets are off, Miss Brooke. Do you hear that? Bets off—Miss Brooke" She heard, but made no acknowledgment of the mystifying intelligence. "You have known me as H. Hedge, E. E," he continued. "But hereafter there is no such person. He has disappeared. So has Henry Hedge, who was his immediate predecessor. Henry Hedge is abolished. You are know looking upon H. Wellington Hedge, without any E. E. or other honorary degree tied to the rear axle. I see you are not looking. It makes no difference; you are listening, which is sufficient for the imminent present. Constance's jobs were becoming less frequent. Her ears caught every word and her curiosity was rising rapidly. "H. Wellington Hedge," he repeated incisively. "I have killed the Henry and substituted an H." You will presently understand why. I have here in my card case certain cards reading, "H. Hedge, E. E." There—they are in the fire. What have you to say to that—Miss Brooke? She had nothing to say. NEXT CHAPTER: Hedge burns his bridges.

FROM SOUTH AMERICA PROF. MOORE SPEAKS PLAINLY OF WYTHEVILLE LYNCHING Bahia, Brasil, Oct, 10, 1926. Mr John Mitchell, Jr., Richmond, Va., U. 8. A. Dear sir: We regretted to see your big head- lines of Aug, 21st and the explana- tion which followed! But what can we expect, when all hands of that South are so mortally impractical? ‘The essential laws of nature must be respected or something will cer- tainly burst. Just a little more com mon sense would change things ever so much for the better. But col- cored people, as a rule, seldom use common sense in their affairs. ABOVE NATURE They try to get above nature in every sense of the word. And such people generally fall far below others. ‘The great social question of that section hangs upon this point. A woman fs but a woman; and the instinct of the feminine world is to live on easy street and in the brightest rays of light, They like gayety and will sacrifice every other virtue for these pleasures. ‘Thus brilliancy and the appearance of plenty; or at least authority will captivate the average woman, be she whom she may! And when her own men can, or will, not indulge her in such luxuries as are common with the gay crowd she will contrive 'a way to know who will ‘A WOMAN'S WAY And for the moment she will hard- em her heart against her own love, until her object is gained; and then she will sit and cry over her own folly. But be not decefved in her Tepentanee, it is but one side of her cruel and unstable nature; she will do it acain as soon as she can be mado to forget the black side of it. So the colored woman is no excep. tion She loves her race just as all other women do theirs; but her men do not help her to indulge in these dreams as other people do theirs. ‘The average colored man is too fem inine in this respect. WANTS FEMALES TO SUFFER He wants his women to suffer with him, but he does not provide for ‘them afterwards, and the result is that she abandons him at a very critical moment. AN OPEN QUESTION Why is this? Does she not love him? Yes, she does; but he fails to understand her and help her as he should! What is it that he fails to do? He fails to make money and give her the luxuries so common among other women. And why does he not? Well, perhaps it is be- cause that he profers to be of the weak spirit that properly belongs to her, and fails to undergo the neces sary hardships to earn the money she requires, he is weak or slow in defending her from danger. And 80 she abondons him, though she pities him. ‘And what must he do without a woman? He knows that in spite of his sympathies, she ia false. But he can not reach her, because he cannot produce the means: which is money sufficient to indulge her in her dreams of com- fort or saperficial pleasures. THE QUESTION ANSWERED And why? Simply because he can not get an equal chance to earn it ‘When he works he does not know enough to make the most of it. And at that, he is not given an equal chance at what he can do. So here hangs the secret of his not being able to find the proper outlets for nature at the proper time and man. ner. Hence, like a hungry beast, he dares to commit violence. He will kill or steal at the risk of his life, and the loss of all that is dear to him; because, aside from not having the ‘proper education, which would strengthen patience, he has little or no confidence in anybody and faith in nothing. NOT ALL. JUSTIFIABLE However, we do not say that every accusation of violence 1s justified or justifiable, Many of these reports could easily be proved to be false. The whites may in a fit of anger kil; and then justify the act upon the old story of rape, when in many cases it was that the white man struck the black one and got the worst of the proposition We can never forget Robert Charles of New Orleans, and the great Wilmington riot in North Carolina, along with many other cases that we havé seen with our own eyes. Why will col- ored mien not prove to be men in all things; when they have the chance? SEVERAL ANGLES There are several angles of im- portant interest from which such murderous acts as that may be seen. And one very grave question that might at any moment enflame on accused to serious resistance of the law is; whether or not it is safe to surrender to the authorities of the local districts: or to fight it out on the spot. ‘The local authorities seem only able to disarm the individ- ual so that the lynchers can do their hideous work without any personal risk from their victim. COOPS, OF RETENTION ‘The jails seem to be only coops of retention where the victim is held to wait for the mobs to prepare to ‘torture him. ‘This is not wholly speculation; but counting upon just such facts’ too common to mention of lynchings. Again, this should urge colored people to turn a deat ear to any talk about one race of free men entrusting their interests entirely to the cares of another. If these failures are not enough to ex- cite distrust, we ask what will? ‘This has too often repeated the proof that the colored races cannot trust the Anglo-Saxon nor anybody ‘else to do for them what they should do for themselves. | FEDERAL QUESTION | Then~too, what do the Federal courts think of such gross Insults? ‘The local authorities fail to live up to their obligations; and then to Parker, Gal 9 (nine) 124-26... .. tell their own superior that they want none of their interference. is one of the grossest insults that they could offer. We look upon these things in serious astonishment when we remember that the US. Gov- ernment ‘sent about —(3.000,000) three ‘million armed citizens | into Europe, to help subjugate one of the most powerful monarchies the world has ever produced: and still it is unab'e to protect. its dignity against a small section of a single State, at home! What shall other nations think of the U, S. Government, after this? Of course it is bad enough to have these things happen in their districts; but to protest against of- ficial investigation on the part of the State and Federa! Governments is altogether too much, ANOTHER QUESTION Now what shall be done about it? We wait to see. And just how col- ored men can continue to face their own people in praise of such sec: tions, is certainly a mystery to us Ignorance, cowardice and laziness are eanal to murder, in themselves, And these are the elements that tor- ment the black race. inc'uded with covetousness. Therefore we plead for higher and more Irberal educa- tion’ also greater opportunities to practice in all the departments o? labor in the country; under equal conditions with people: for colored Americans Note we'l: count the miles or distance from Quantico, Va to Wytheville, Va.!
