THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. SENT TO THE GRAND JURY Charles H. Smith Charged with Killing Iceman Branch--Two Witnesses Identify Him--Two Others Testify He Was at Home--Lawyer English is Counsel. VOLUME XLIV, NO. 27 SENT Charles H. S Iceman Bra tify Him--T at Home--L The hearing in the case of Charles H. Smith, charged with the killing of W. E. Branch, the ice-man, took place Friday, April 29th before Judge John L. Ingram, of the Police Court. Witnesses were examined at the conclusion of which, Smith was sent on to the grand jury of the Hustings Court. Attorney Edgar B. English appeared for the defense. Dorothy Lee and Irene Mitchell, who went into Irene Hevron's apartment on that fateful Sunday afternoon, testified that Charles H. Smith came there, while they were there and that they went in there for one of them to use the telephone. CONFLICTING TESTIMONY. W. E. Branch is said to have come in there at the time and he had some words with Irene Hebron, after which he left. Irene Hebron said Branch was there, but Smith had not been in her apartment. A. Walker and R. B. Sterling are reported to have testified that they recognized Charles H. Smith when he struck Branch and ran away in the direction of Third Street. Irene Hebron was represented by counsel. AT FIFTH ST. BAPTIST CHURCH Then the defense showed its hand. Mrs. Bertania Miller testified that Charles H. Smith was at home that fateful Sunday afternoon and did not leave there until he went with them to the Fifth Street Baptist Church at about a quarter to 8 o'clock. James H. Frye testified that he was with him at the Fifth Street Baptist Church. This established an alibi for Smith. Counsel for Smith was of the opinion that the case could be stopped in the Police Court but Judge Ingram thought otherwise and sent it on, allowing bail in the sum of $1,000.00 with John H. Braxton as surety. MR. W. A. JORDAN SPEAKS PLANLY. No Political Aspirations. Richmond, Va., April 30, 1927. Mr. Theodore W. Jones, 1401 W. Leigh Street, Richmond, Va. Dear Mr. Jones: The reference to me in your very fine letter in the Forum section of the News Leader of Richmond, Va., Thursday, April 28, 1927, makes it necessary for me to write you in regard to the matter; and also gives me the opportunity to express in writing the pleasure I have had in reading your several letters in the daily press. They show a breadth of view and a knowledge of conditions in America and especially as these conditions affect our people, that are seldom displayed by writers of either race. THE SPECIFIC MATTER Coming now to the specific matter I state that from the comments which have already reached me, I feel that a wrong impression has been gleamed by many persons as to my true position on the matters on which you touched in your letter. Therefore, without any intent to criticise you or your viewpoint, but solely as a means of putting myself on record with you and the public as to my wishes or position on local political and other matters. I now say that I have no political aspirations, and doubt seriously the advisability of the qualified and ambitious ones among us aspiring for office, until our people have qualified themselves through payment of poll taxes and registering in such numbers as to warrant them in seeking office. NOT READY FOR OFFICE That is, I believe that all of our efforts for the present, in the political field should be to arouse our indolent and indifferent people to the absolute necessity of qualifying as voting citizens before they attempt to elect anyone of their number to office, or to expect to have any voice or much consideration in the administration of the affairs of the city. I think we appear in an unfavorable light to informed people, when we aspire to political preferment or consideration before we have met the first requirement of citizens to exercise such rights or to compel recognition of them. NO CONSIDERATION FROM WHITE FOLKS. Furthermore, I think that it is useless to expect any help or consideration from white people, especially of the South, toward electing colored men to office; and thus it becomes more pressingly necessary for us to bend all of our energies on preparing our people generally to meet the requirements of full-fledged citizens. Then those who aspire to political office or preferment would have a constituency that could back them in such aspirations. A BROAD PLATFORM In closing, I state that I stand firmly for the exercise by our people of every right and privilege to which any other American citizen is entitled, whether it is in the exercise of the ballot, the ownership of property, or any other civil, political, economic, religious or personal right or privilege. Trusting that you will understand and appreciate my effort to present my true position on the above matters to you and the public, I am, Sir, with great respect. Very truly yours, W. A. JORDAN. THE MINISTERS' CONFERENCE ENDORSES LOCAL TEACHERS EFFORTS FOR MORE PAY. The Ministers' Conference of Richmond and Vicinity was held at Ebenezer Baptist Church on Monday at the usual hour. Rev. J. E. Fountain, B. Th., President. Reports of the brethren indicate a healthy condition of affairs in the church life of our city many of them reporting unusual success spiritually and financially on last Sunday. Perhaps the outstanding recent event in the church life of Richmond was the revival at Fifth Baptist Church, West End, Rev. A. D. Daly pastor. Rev. Daly conducted his own meeting during which there were 97 conversions and 25 additions other than by baptism. Rev. Daly received the congratulations of his brethren in the Ministry upon the accomplishment of this almost herculean task, and Fifth Baptist is to be complimented upon having as its pastor a man of such rare ability and spiritual power. During the session the efforts on the part of our school teachers to secure better salaries was presented to the body. It was brought out that this matter should have been presented several weeks ago, but owing to the funeral of the wife of Dr. R. O. Johnson, the Conference, in respect to him adjourned without transacting any business. The following Monday being a holiday no session of the Conference was held, consequently this matter which so deeply concerns, not only our teachers, but all who have 'he welfare of our people at heart, did not present itself until last Monday. All the Ministers expressed themselves as being in sympathy with the teachers in their efforts and a motion was unanimously adopted endorsing the movement. Feeling that it should do something tangible to help in this most important matter, the Conference elected a committee to draft a petition to the school board in behalf of the effort, which will be presented to every member of the Conference for his signature, after which it will be personally presented to the school board by the committee, consisting of the following Ministers: Rev. J E Fountain, President of the Conference; Dr. C. S Morris, pastor Fifth Street Baptist Church; Dr. B Ransome, pastor First Baptist Church, south Richmond; Rev. J. W. Kemp, pastor St. John Baptist Church. —Rev. O. B. Simms, B. Th.. Reporter. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1927 FLOOD BENEITT AT REFORMER HALL SUNDAY.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA TOMMY MILTON AMERICA'S RECORD HOLDER OF 15&4 M.P.H. ON THE ORMUND BEACH COURSE MLLE JEAN ACOSTA WHO WILL BE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE movement for celebrating, next winter, the twenty-fifth anniversary of racing and record making on the world famous Ormond-Daytona Beach. The celebration which will include an international race meet under the direction of the American Automobiles Association will be held in joint honor of William J. Morgan who inaugurated racing on the beach in 1902 Henry Ford, William K. Vanderbilt, Alce Winton, Barney Oldfield, A. C. MacDonald of England, Louis L. Buck and glory lives and dead ploneers of auto racing who brought fame to the east coast of Florida and American made cars in the early days of auto record making. The beach is 27 miles long, smooth as a billiard table, hard as marble and straight as an African spear. An automobile going over it hardly makes more than a hair line on the white silica sands. It was on this beach that Maj. H. O. D. Segrave, the human hurricane of England went 203.69 m. p. to shatter all world's speed records in his 1000 h. p. Mystery "S." William K. Vanderbilt in his Mercedes in 1904 broke the world's record for the mile in 39 seconds flat. Segrave's time was 17 seconds. The Chamber of Commerce hopes that next winter American automobile manufacturers who plan to Canada Outstrips U WHEAT Outstrips U. S. in Pr WHEAT MONTEREAL, P. Q.-For the fifth time in succession Canada has led the United States in the yield of wheat per acre, according to a bulletin issued by the American Research Foundation. The Dominion's record for 1926 was 17.8 bushels to the acre while that of Uncle Sam was 14.7. "Canadian wheat output averaged 15.9 bushels to the acre in the five-year period from 1921 to 1926," says the bulletin. "America used durum to the acre of 13.5 bushels, or bushels to the acre less than the Dominion's." The bulletin points out that Canada outstripped the United States in per acre production of practically every farm product last year. Canadian oats yield was 30 bushels to the acre against 28.2 in the United States. Milady Milady's Hat B Milady's Hat Born in a Foundry A woman in a hat is seated at a table, preparing a dish. In the background, another woman is visible. Who would think that mud, molten metal, and a dingy foundry are important in the evolution of the daityn Parisian creation, one of the season's most favored models, of geogrette and visca straw which this favored lady is wearing? Yet here is the process, as the beautiful Fiskhats are made in the huge manufacturing plant of D. B. Fisk & Co., Chicago, Ill. The designer receives the original model. She then orders a wooden mould to be made. From this, the moulder carefully makes a perfect plaster of Paris model which he is seen scraping to an exact pattern. bring back the world's record to America will have their "Streak Lightning" speed creations ready and at that time make their attempts. If they do break Segrave's record, the British speed King himself has said he would return and make another try. Under the best conditions he believes he can make 220 m. p. l. with his Mystery "S." Preparations have already begun for the winter meets. Negotiation are under way to invite the leading auto racers. Special electrical timing machines have been contracted for. The Florida East Coast Boulder which light through Ormond and Dayton Beach will advertise the meet. The Hotel Ormond which has catered to all the old time artistocrats of the pleistocene days of racing will prepare to handle a large number of winter guests. The races will last over a period of a week, for there will be local and state professionals, women racers and dirt truck stars in addition to a number of drivers by the American Automobile Association to celebrate the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of Racing on the famous Ormond-Daytona Beach. U. S. in Production of Barley on Canadian farms returned 23.2 bushels per acre compared with 23.3 on American farms. Rye stood at 16.1 against 11.3; flax 8.0 compared with 6.7; and hay 1.48 tons compared with 1.38 tons. While the estimated production of tobacco in the United States was 795 pounds per acre, in Ontario it was 854 pounds, in Quebec 836 pounds, and in British Columbia 1,225 pounds. For further development of agriculture in Canada, the bulletin shows, are practically unlimited. In the four Western provinces which produce 75 per cent of the Dominion's wheat, there are 147,160,603 acres suitable for farming still awaiting settlement. Present area of land under cultivation in these provinces totals 90,792,394 acres. ady's Hat Born in a Fou Production of Wheat P born in a Foundry A metal die is cast from this plaster of Paris mould, and the foundryman does this by packing the mould into mud, then pouring the whitehot, molten lead into the form; Packed tightly in mud, the mould is left to cool and harden. Then the lady in the stitching room sews the braid, fitting it to the mould from time to time as she stitches. The hat is then taken to the hydraulic pressure room, where it is put in the machine and steamed under pressure. Now it is ready for the trimming-room.

There are millions of Chinese, who do not even know that a war is going on in that country, inasmuch as practically all of the trouble is confined to the coast cities. The Great Powers have spent all of their money in the recent World Conflict and are unable to spend more in the subjugation of China. So far as we are able to observe conditions are so shaping themselves that it is largely coming to one question. "Who but Coolidge?" He evidently has placed himself in the attitude of not seeking the nomination, but is so seated that in selecting a man most likely to win, there will be no one else sitting upon the bench beside him. There is no doubt, but what many policies advocated by him have been unpopular and displeasing to some sections of the country, but this objection has been neutralized by the fact that these sections or voters find no one to advocate or to carry into effect just what they most desire In the meantime, the Democratic party is seeking a candidate, with Governor Al Smith of New York, openly seeking the honor. Governor Smith, while a pronounced "wet" leader, nevertheless pledges himself to execute the laws as he finds them upon the statute books. The Anti-Saloon League is unwilling to trust him on account of the masses who are following his standard. They know just what President Coolidge has done and will do. They know what Governor Smith has done and they have serious doubts as to what he will do. In the meantime, the colored folks are "split wide open" so to speak. Many will support Al Smith, if he is nominated and many others will follow the old line Republican standard borne by Cal Coolidge. ROANOKE LETTER ROANOKE, VA.. May 4—Holy Communion was served Sunday at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church by Dr. W. R. Howerton, pastor. His subject was "Tarry ye here while I go yonder and pray." The pastor returns from the Conference much refreshed by the breeze of the seashore as well as the work of the Conference Quite a number were out at the morning service to hear reports of the work of the Virginia Annual Conference under Presiding Bishop, the Right Reverend J. Albert Johnson. The reports were very encouraging. Mrs. Nannle Hewitt, of Northwest Teenth Avenue is yet very slick. Mr. Joseph Daniels, a well known barber of Gilmer Avenue died at Burrell Memorial Hospital after a long stay in that institution. There is a revival in progress at the High Street Baptist Church. It is its second week. Mr James Kinley of Northwest Seventh Avenue, who has been continued to his home several months, is yet very sick. Mrs. Mary Claiborne of Martinsville is in the city after spending the winter out of Virginia. Mr. George Simms of Hart Avenue N. W. who has been sick for nearly two months is reported convalescing at this writing. Mr. W. J. Agnew visited the Virginia Annual Conference. Mrs. Mattie Staples of 715 Park Street has been quite feeble but is much improved. Mr. Roy Waller of Seventh Avenue N. E. has been sick for two weeks. He is able to be on the job at his blacksmith shop. In the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond, Tuesday, April 12, 1923.

Richmond, Va., July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waitin't thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE. Richmond, I received your treatment O.

Wise chemists, gathered at Richmond, Virginia, say it and add, "environment and chemical agency are the dominant factors of life." That may be true, and still you need not accept "the chemical concept of the origin and development of life." If inhabitants of another world, where machinery is unknown, should study an automobile supplied with gas and electricity and running, they would say, "No life in this machine without gas, Iron, gas and electricity are all of that automobile." They would overlook just one little thing, namely, the INTELLIGENCE that put the gas, electricity and steel together, mounted them on pneumatic tires and set them going. So it is with life. Explain it as you please, but don't forget the INTELLIGENCE back of it. We are proud of our national property and high wages. Boots are even prouder of their utility and high wages. This is known by Norman Klein, an interior. One rum-running synch could afford to invest 1000 and to pay men on their running crews $50 a night for deal less than eight hours' one man tells how he used only $30 to $37 a week, "out ambitious," says he, "so they on a runner, and I got $50 on the "converted either in S 277." Uncle Sam thus supplying the rum running boat at bourgain prices. There is nothing like ambition. Hay will be cheap this year on the far is, for crops will be heavy. After the farmer sells and jobber gets the hay, prices will change. Late plowing will be delayed and wheat growers worry about a too heavy 'top growth'. The wheat suddenly too tall falls before high winds or heavy rains, and athletic young gentlemen, please notice. When the wheat stalk is over-developed, the head of the wheat containing the grain is feeble. Too much straw means too little wheat. And too much muscle means too little brain. Unless inhabitants are misinformed, the Western mind runs to peaceful philosophy. The Joplin News-Herald says, "As to street signs, read 'en and leap.' And the Richmond Missourian quotes a philosophical lady as follows: "Kissing is about to be carried so far that every lady is likely to get so tired of it that it may go utterly out of fashion." The St. Joseph (Mo.) News-Press says: "The girls have responded nobly to the appeal for the observance of paint-up week." A ungrо applying for admission to a Government training camp is told by the War Department that rules make it impossible to admit him. Regulations say colored men must artist in colored regiments. Camps for colored young men will be established, which may solve the problem. However, if whites have the right to decide in what regiments and camps colored young men may enroll, it would seem only fair to let the colored young men decide in what particular wars they would be enrolled. Jacob Wassermann, able German novelist, author of "The World's Illusion," can "find no happiness in this country." He calls Chicago's industrial life "intensely depressing." Chicago industrial workers might call Mr. Wassermann's life intensely depressing. It is hard to judge. The prairie dog in his little village may be as happy as Napoleon looking up at the pyramids. The prairie dog doesn't have to go to St. Helena. Napoleon crossed the Alps in Winter and told those that complimented blim on the "great ailment": "Winter is the best time to cross; the snow does not sip. I deserve credit only for not believing fools who said IT COULD NOT BE DONR." Lives at Grand Pre EVANGEL BY RMAH tracted wide attention.

RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. MISLEADING The day is gone when such terms as "stomach trouble," "liver troubles," "female complaint," "heart disease" and such like, convey intelligent meaning; and yet, many people, when told by the quack that they have liver trouble, or "dropsy," or "neuralgia," are apparently satisfied with the diagnosis. Such statements mean nothing more than to skillfully point to the location of an unknown pathological condition. It is quite likely that the imposter and ignoramus who "pronounces it color trouble" knows absolutely nothing of the real condition which he pre- tends to treat. Even intelligent newspapers today report that certain citizens died of "heart trouble" or "heart Disease." And this, when there are, roughly speaking, over two dozen easily recognized diseases of the heart and its appendages. It is against ignorance and cupidity that the honest physician struggles, often too vainly. In years agone, "dropsy" was said to be an incurable disease. Now we know it is only a symptom of disease of some other organ, curable or incurable. Neurogia is not a disease at all—it is literally pain in a nerve, and may be due to a number of causes; and upon the removability of the cause, depends the cure of the disease. How the quacks love to print the cure of Mrs. Jinks' "Female trouble!" They even furnish her newspaper portrait, so eager are they to aid suffering humanity. It is amazing that some people are so unphisticated that they read and believe such stuff! The afflicted female probably needed only a stout purge—even if such a personage ever existed; and if she did, she was probably well paid in cash for the "estimonial." "Hello, Bill!"

GRAKELOW OF PHILADELPHIA, GRAND EXALTED RULER HELLO, BILL "SAYS ELK CHILETAIN" Enormous Volume of Crude Oil to Meet Market Demands DRILLING SHOOTING A WELL ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (Special): There wasn't an Elk in Florida in Ponce de Leon's time, but today the horns of the mighty antlered herd are as the trees of a forest in the Land of Flowers. This is what Grand Exalted Ruler Charles H. Grankelow, head of all the Elks in the United States, found when he toured the famous East Coast of Florida recently. With Grand Secretary Fred C. Robinson he closed a 120,000-miles trip in which he visited some 1,200 lodges to which part of the 900,000 Elks in this country belong. When he reached the famed Floridian Elvira, a private car was placed at his disposal by Mr. H. N. Bodenhaugh, vice-president of the Florida East Coast Railway. Everywhere he was hailed by thousands of the real fellows who belong to the Elks. In beautiful St. Augustine, a blending of the ancient and most progressive, Mayor J. N. Fogerty, proclaimed "Grakelow Day" to honor the chief of the great benevolent and protective order. At Iliano Beach, just across Matanzas Bay, he gave Mr. Grakelow. He paid a warm tribute to Harold B. S. Cole, deputy grand district ruler whom he had come to see, and presented him with) life membership reproduced in solid gold with a gold case, on behalf of the local lodge.

To supply the increased number. automobiles we must produce by 175,000 barrels of crude oil more in the daily average production of 6, said Mr. Freund. "Production Grand Secretary Fred C. Robinson of Chicago, who is of diminutive stature, told this story: He wished to impress a Pullman porter with his importance, so he said: "I'm an Elk." The porter looked Mr. Robinson's four feet 10 inches over, and then remarked, "Elk hell. You look more like a mosquito." After the dinner the whole city turned out at a baseball game staged for Mr. Grakelow and he then visited some of the monumental historic landmarks. Everywhere he was greeted with the enthusiasm which is Florida. When the Elks Special reached Daytona Beach it was met at the station by a motorcade of Elks from far and wide. They took in the world-known beach speedway where Major Segrave broke the world's speed records. A banquet was held under the auspices of Daytona Lodge, No. 1141. H. A. Bennett, president of the Florida Elks presiding, Fraternalism, Mr. Ginkelow said, has been tremendously revived since the World War; the principles for which B. P. O. E. stands are primarily responsible for its rapid growth. The Elks National Memorial at Chicago, costing $800,000, and the Elks National Home in Virginia, also costing $800,000, come from the profits of the magazine, he said. He observed that the bay of today is the man of commerce, and urged his companion to learn more. ne of Crude Oil to Meet "COMES IN" of crude oil last year was 775,500,000 barrels. Demand for gasoline was approximately 12,800,000,000 gallons.

Allowing for a normal increase in this ratio and for imports at the 1925 rate, it is estimated that refineries requirements this year will call for more than 800,000,000 barrels of oil to meet demand. Crude oil used outside of refineries for fuel, etc., will raise the grand total close to 900,000,000 barrels. ```markdown ``` In Hustings Court, Part 2, City of Richmond, April 15, 1987.
