VOLUME XLIV, NO. 29 WC A Nash Au from Tr Early Sun (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Blood was spattered over, the crossing, east and west on the south side of Leigh Sreet Sunday morning 15th in, after a collision of a new Nash car with a First Sreet car, which was going south. It was about 5 o'clock when the two came together and the Nash car knocked the street car from the track causing it to go into the side-walk, uproofing a tree and throwing it against the fence of the Booker T. Washington colored school at that point. LOUD CRASH LOUD CRASH. The crash could be heard for many blocks.

Beckton, a noted evangelist, accompanied by his wife is a gifted and spiritual singer, and an orchestra of five pieces and a personal worker will be with the Fifth Street Baptist Church in revival services, from Sunday morning May 22 to June 26, 1927. This fine group of evangelistic workers, under Dr. Beckton has been greatly blessed of God. Their services are over crowded everywhere. He has been back to the same city time and again and always draws crowds. Every individual, organization and club is very cordially invited, and earnestly expected to attend this great meeting. Special arrangement will be made for the different organizations and clubs when they respond to the special invitation to be present in a body on some convenient night. Every possible effort is being made that all of Richmond will be helped by this revival. We are praying daily that every individual heart might be revived and that a mighty spiritual blessing may sweep the entire city. The committee of one hundred personal workers are asked to take on new life and encourage all old members to renew their membership also invite friends in the city who are not connected with any church to unite with us, and get the unsaved to attend the services. Every member of Fifth Street is a committee of one, and our doors stand ajar with a hearty greeting for everyone. Communion and Fellowship of new members Sunday, 3:30 P. M. Rev. Dr. W. H.

State Convention (Special by John Mitchell, Jr) I visited the Virginia Baptist State Convention in session at the Harrison Street Baptist Church, Petersburg Va. last Friday morning, May 13th. Rev. A. L. James, D. D. president was presiding while Rev. C. S. Morris, D. D. pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church, Richmond, Va. was delivering a powerful, analytical, oratorical discourse with all the fervor of youth on the subject, "Our Lord's Coming." With his earnest, impressive countenance, gray hair, regular gestures, his well modulated voice which at times arose to flights of genuine eloquence, he swayed the convention at will. He had, with the Scriptures as his authority, proven his case and continued his hearers, when he began singing, "Steal Alaw." Later he sang, "When the Saints Go Marching In." This concluded the sermon, while speakers clamored for the floor to pay a tribute to one of the most remarkable orators, this country has ever produced. They were all silenced, however by Rev. J. H. Binford of Richmond who was $_{5}$ happy that he stirred the Convention again with a remarkable rendition entitled "Give Me the Old Time Religion." Applause followed as he continued to sing this revival hymn. President James stood up but Rev. Dr. Binford, whose eyesight is poor, could not see him and the members of the Convention did not want him $_{0}$ see the President. Rev. Binford sang. Rev. Dr. W. H. Moses, who had claimed the attention of the chair sank into his seat and the stirring melody continued. It was only when Rev. Brown of the Giffield Baptist Church of Petersburg, Va. touched him that Rev. Binford subsided. President James then introduced the visitors. Rev. Alexander Gordon, D. D. of Philadelphia had called attention to the presence of John Mitchell, Jr., editor of The Planet, who with him was one of the founders of Virginia Theological Seminary and College. He, with Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D. of Washington, D. C.; Rev. W. L. Ransome. President of the General Association; Rev. T. N. Wilkins of Petersburg, Va.; Rev. George A. Parker of Washington D. C. were invited to theostrum. They delivered addresses, after which other visitors were introduced. The officers of the Convention are: Rev. A. L. James, President, Roan oke; Rev. C. P. Madison, D. D.; First Vice President, Norfolk; Rev. W. E. Sanderlin, D. D.; Second Vice President, Petersburg; Rev. S. N. Daughtery, D. D.; Third Vice President, Carrsville; Rev. J. H. Harvey, D.

(Special by John Mitchell Jr.) The case of Willie Washington, charged with the murder of Gertie Gullett Tuesday morning, was called in the Police Court Wednesday morning, 18th inst. After hearing a statement of the case, Judge John L. Ingram sent Washington on to the Grand Jury, which convenes June 6. 1927. The accused wore his overalls and had on spectacles. In conversation with him, he explained that he worked for the National Transfer Company, which caused him to go all over the State and country. He was in Fredericksburg the week before Easter, arriving home on a Friday night. WHY HE SHOT HER When he got there at 414 W. Duval Street, he found that his wife had left, taking all of his things to her sister's residence at 1307 St. James Street. He named among the things taken, a victrola, stove, cheeses and a range. He met his sister-in-law on Tuesday morning and asked for their return. She refused to give them to him or to permit him $t_0$ have them and he shot her. He had not obtained counsel. His sister. Mary Washington was in court and said that she expected to make arrangements to secure counsel to defend him. The Police Department received a telegram from a relative of the dead woman enquiring if it was true that she had been killed. Washington's wife is in Philadelphia and is expected $t_0$ to attend the funeral of her sister. RAN AWAY. Officer Frick stated that he heard the shots and got there in time to see him fire at Gertrude Gullet. He chased him up Hill Street and caught him as he ran into an alley. Willie Washington said trat he does not drink whiskey and emphasized the fact that he belongs to the church. Washington's sister resides at 554 Brook Avenue. WILLIE WASHINGTON TALKS It was after 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon when I called at the Second Police Station. Captain Bryan was in charge, and in company with an officer was shown to the cell occupied by Willie Washington. He greeted me cordially and when asked if he desired to talk, expressed a willingness so to do. "You see' he said, 'I am employed by the National Transfer Company and went up there to Fredericksburg around Christmas times. When I returned Easter, my wife had left. I had trouble before with my wife's sister HAD SENT WIFE AWAY My wife had bought things amounting to some $80.00 on me. My wife's sister told me that she had given my wife $10.00 and sent her away. I have not been myself since I returned Easter." He then told of his sister-in-law's delinquencies. As for the pistol, it was one he had around the house. He and his wife resided at 414 West Duval Street, where his brother Robert Washington lives now. He has a sister, May Washington, who lives uptown, he said. BELONGS TO BAPTIST CHURCH Washington said that he was from King William County, Va. and was a member of the Baptist Church at Mangohick. His face lightened up then he announced his church membership. He could not account for the way the devil got the better of him, when this question was propounded to him. Washington is of a dark complexion and of rather slender builf. He claimed that the dead woman at one time threatened him with a knife. He wanted the house searched for some letters he claimed was in Gertie Gullet's possession. OFFICER FRICK ACTIVE Officer W. L. Frick saw the shooting and hastened to arrest Willie Washington. Other witnesses are F. Snowa, 116 W. Clay St. and Lewis Preston, 1215 St. James St. Washington said he did not know exactly how many times he fired. He was told that he fired three times. Two of the bullets took effect. One entered the upper part of the arm near the left shoulder joint of Gertie Gullet, passing through flesh and being found in the lung. The other entered the left side. NO SIGN OF INTOXICATION. Giving Washington a copy of The Planet, I left the enclosure and after thanking the officers was soon on the outside breathing the air of freedom. No charge of intoxication has been made against Washington and there was no evidence that he was under the influence of whiskey. Gertie Gullet was well built and disposed to be plethoric. She appeared to be healthy and suited for any kind of manual labor. She and her sister came here from North Carolina, according to the statement of Willie Washington. Gerru Gullet, while on her way to work was shot and killed by William Washington, her brother-in-law at the corner of First and Hill Sts. Tuesday morning, 17th inst. at about 7 o'clock. Death was almost instantaneous. When I arrived there a short time afterwards, I found an excited crowd gathered. Funeral Diorator A. D. Price's dead wagon was there and the body had been placed in it. A pool of clothed blood on the ground, at which the crowd gazed in awe, told the story. CORONER PROMPT. Coroner James M. Whitfield had lost no time in arriving at the scene of the tragedy, for he was there directing affairs, while two police officers were assisting him. William Washington was charged with the crime. A pool of clothed blood on the cobble stones told the story. If Washington's life had depended upon the people assembled there, he would not have had long to live. No one seemed to know anything about the cause of the tragedy. It was finally brought out that William Washington's wife had left him and he believed that his sister-in-law, Gertrude Gullet had some knowledge of it and would not tell him. WHY HE SHOT HER. He went there when he knew she was to go to work in Barton Heights where she was employed, and when she would not give any information, he shot her. I went to the house, 1307 St. James St., where the dead woman resided. The back door was open. The cook stove showed that some one had been there. It was a three room structure. A kerosene lamp was burning in the front room downstairs, while upstairs was a double bed which had been made on. No one was in the house. At the corner was a plethoric woman, who said that Helen Matthews, her daughter-in-law, lived there. DAUGHTER-IN-LAW LIVED THERE She resides at ? W Hill St. She did not want to be mixed up in that mess and did not want her name in the napers. She heard three shots, William Washington had been hanging around there three weeks. Her daughter-in-law rented the room upstairs from the dead woman, Gertrude Gullet. She had gone to work. Information concerning the tragedy had spread and undertakers were promptly on the scene. Later, I went to Funeral Director Price's establishment and the dead woman was in the morgue. She was of a light brown skin complexion. Coroner Whitfield was just leaving and the officer on the beat was present. WAS GOING TO WORK Those near the scene stated that Gertrude had just come out of the grocery at the southwest corner of First and Hill Sts. and had the car fare in her hand. She was about to cross over when William Washington accosted her and with the deadly weapon sent her "the way of all the car." William Washington did not get away, but was promptly arrested and placed in the police patrol, being afterwards conveyed to the Second PRICE, FIVE CENTS. KILLS HIS ER IN JAIL. Police Station. He gave information concerning the dead woman and claimed to have letters confirming his statements that Gertrude had caused his wife to leave him and that he knew where she was. DAMONS IN VIRGINIA.

Harris of The New York News has addressed a long letter to President Calvin Coolidge. Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States protesting against the action of the War Department in refusing to provide for the accommodation of a colored civilian applicant in the Second Corps area, the applicant being Marsden V. Burnell, upon the ground that a colored division has not been established on account of the dearth of applicants of that race and color. In view of the plain provisions of the Constitution of the United States we are unable to see or understand how the application of the colored citizen can be legally denied. It may be that he may constitute a squad, company, division or a company all to himself, but to deny the rights and privileges of any other citizen is out of the question from a legal standpoint. Our observation has been that no President, Republican or Democrat, has been able to resist successfully the mismaa of race prejudice at Washington, regardless of what his personal feelings might be upon the subject. Theodore Roosevelt yielded to it and Woodrow Wilson could not resist its impetus and now it seems that Calvin Coolidge, hailing from the free State of Massachusetts is stalled and bows to this same crowning infamy of the American Republic. The issue has been squarely presented and Dwight L. Davis, Secretary of War, while expressing his desires in the matter, bows to his Negro-hating associates in the War Department and does absolutely nothing. Both political parties occupy the same position upon this subject. What are you to do about it? Come and Go with the SHEPHERDS to Bayshore, July 19, 1927 A very enthusiastic meeting of the Shepherds Annual Excursion Committee was held at the Girls' Home, 502 W. Clay Street, Monday evening May 16th. The sixteen Folds promoting the Excursion 'hid their representatives present and the tickets were distributed among them. Everybody voiced the sentiment that this is going to be the largest excursion the Shepherds have ever carried out of Richmond. We are urging every one who desires a good nice quiet outing to the Sea shore during the swetterting weather or of July to secure a ticket from a representative of our Excursion and GC WITH THE SHEPHERDS. Good music will be in abundance on this occasion. We guarantee every one a real day of pleasure and enjoyment. The May Queen, which was given by Mrs. Belle Taylor for the benefit of the Shepherds Band on the 17th was a decided success. An appreciable audience was present and from the applause accorded the actors in the May Queen every one enjoyed it. Mrs. Taylor observes great credit for her ability to work up such enjoyable and profitable entertainment. This May Queen be repaired at the Buchanan School on the 24th of May. If you wish an evening of real enjoyment and pleasure, do not fail to see this May Queen on the 24th at Buchanan School. Deputy Frances J. Dias returned from Harrisonburg, Va. on the 14th and brought a splendid report of her accomplishment while there in the interest of our Order. The life and enthusiasm instilled in a work that has been at a standstill since its organization was quite evident. Deputy Dias is established for driving the building new life into localities where our work is at a low ebw. This is a very important work and since it is not only ne Watch Your Frail, Puny Child Grow Strong - Take on Wt TAKE COD LIVER OIL THE NEW TASTELESS WAY—IN SUGAR... COATED TABLETS. In just a few days—quicker than you ever dream of—these wonderful health building, flesh making tablets called McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets will start to help any thin, underweight little one gain in weight. After sickness and where rickets are suspected they are especially valuable. No need to give them any more nasty Cod Liver Oil—these tablets are made to take the place of that good, but evil smelling, stomach upsetting medicine and they surely do it. A very sickly child, age 9, gained 12 pounds in 7 months. Ask any druggist for McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound, Tablets—as easy to take as candy and 60 tablets 60 cents. But be sure and demand McCoy—there are imitations just as there is counterfeit money. And bear in mind if McCoy's doesn't help your frail, rundown child in 30 days, money back. cessary to gain new territories and new members, we must hold and develop that which we have. Not every deputy can do this kind of work, thus, we are taking off our hats to Deputy Dias for not only her ability to organize but to stimulate the work that has already been started. Deputy Fannie B. Taulton is hitting the trail and has recently been successful in organizing a Fold at Crippapolis, Penn. Deputy Mary E. Freeman has still focused on her the eyes of the official family because of the splendid work she is doing for our Order in Philadelphia. The accomplishment reported by her has far surpassed the expectation of the Home Office. Daughter Bettie Pryor is still maintaining her old reputation by sending into the office a substantial number of members monthly. You can always count on her as a builder in our Order. Daughter Lizzie McPherson has given notice that she and her people are on the diving line and expect to add a large number of members to her Fold between now and our annual meeting in Newport News. A number of new members were reported last week by Mr. W. A. Allen, Prospect, Va. The following death claims were paid during the past month: Mrs. L. Virginia Jones, Midlothian, Va. Mr. Jas. H. Thornton, Urbana, Va. Mrs. Martha Swingler, Esmont, Va. Mr. Thomas Matthews, Hampton Va. Mrs. Jennie E. Williams, Appomattox, Va. Mrs. Fannie Randolph, Washington Penn. Mrs. Addie B.

McLEAN, DIRECTOR ```markdown ``` This Week By Arthur Brisbane LADIES—14073 B. C. DON'T DIE OF CANCER. GOVERNMENT SHOULD PAY. NEED NON-EXPLOSIVE FUEL. ```markdown ``` A. W. Pond, scientific gentleman, back from Africa, says ladies of 150,000 years ago used cosmetics, "extravagant ornaments" and painted their cheeks red. They went to extremes, wore necklaces made of ostrich eggs, and some of them painted their faces yellow and black, as well as red. Still earlier, 300,000 years ago, when men used "fat hatchets," long sharp stones shaped like pickaxes, the ladies, then covered from head to foot with reddish hairs, were probably pulling the hair from their cheeks, noticing that gentlemen preferred smooth skin. It has been a long, painful climb to the flapper of today, but worth it. Don't die of cancer—it isn't necessary. At the age of forty, one out of every ten persons has a cancer, 100,000 die of cancer in the United States every year. At least 75,000 die unnecessarily. Autopsies show that thousands, dead of old age, take cancers to the grave with them. Pay attention to any strange growth on the body. A few seconds work will often prevent a cancer spreading. Above all, keep in good condition, with regular sleep, moderate exercise, much fresh air and your blood will take care of the cancer. The Government has wondered what to do with surplus taxes. It might use the first few hundred Ohio Wesleyan Glee Club Seeking new worlds to conquer, the Ohio Wesleyan University Glee Club, winner of the Intercollegiate Glee Club Contest recently held in New York, will sail from Montreal on June 24 aboard the Canadian Pacific liner Montrose for a 37-day concert tour of Europe. The trip, under the management of the Art Crafts Guild of Chicago, will be made by the 22 members of the Glee Club and by about one hundred other students and alumni of Ohio Wesleyan. Con- millions to indemnify victims of the Mississippi flood. If Government had used its brains and money and had done its duty, in years past, the flood would not have occurred. Those that realize the importance of soil fertility will be interested in Colonel Ewing's casual remark that men digging for artesian wells in lower Louisiana, went through fifteen hundred feet of the richest soil, deposited by the great river, a soil far richer and deeper than that of Egypt. Standard Oil of New York will issue $125,500,000 new stock, bringing the total up to about $450,000,000. The company doesn't need that trifle, but will let employees of the company buy the stock to increase interest in their work. They had already bought ten millions of the stock. Uldine Utley, fifteen-year-old evangelist arrived to save souls in New York at an unfortunate moment, with the Snyder case in full blast. Not even a New Yorker can attend to everything at once. Still, she saved forty-five souls on her opening night—not bad, in New York. But some will need to be saved several times. New York's night life is exciting. In Baltimore Jules Askin, artist, painted from nature on the Sabbath. You are not supposed to work on Sunday in Baltimore. They locked him up. He asked: "Who paints the beautiful sunrise and sunset on Sunday, and what do you do to Him?" The cold jailer replied: "Ask the Judge; you're not supposed to argue." A hydroplane struck by lightning, in full flight, falls, the gasoline tank exploding and killing four. This will not discourage flying, but will stimulate work on non-explosive fuel. The Germans are near it, with their extraordinarily light Diesel engine construction. Some day, wireless power, taken from sources miles below the filer, will solve the problem. An unfortunate leper, John Early, is at a large somewhere in the South, having escaped from the Carville (La.) leprosarium. Men dread to arrest him, but there is little to fear.

RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. "TUBBY" MEN There are so many of them—and the number seems to be increasing. They are graduates of the six o'clock dinner university. They are also Knights of the Swivel-chair; they may belong to the Don't Worry Club. They move about on foot when they find it impossible to ride—on custi-ions. With every puff of shortened breath, they announce the badly-neglected sewer they carry around with them. No, Madame, I'm not talking to you; I know better than to tell a woman she's tubby. I have been a sufferer from this acquired deformity, and, know whereof I speak. It came upon me by stealth; people said to me, "How wonderfully healthy you look; you are getting fatter every day. People love fat things. Suddenly I was attacked one day on the street—I felt that I was dying My pulse registered 145, weak and irregular. I "sat up and took notice" from that hour. Careful investigation revealed that I was suffering from a stealthy, slow-acting poison —Idiac. This stuff forms in a neglected colon, and gradually undermines the entire cardio-vascular system—the circulation. Had I expired, the newspapers would have said that I died of heart disease; it would not have been true; death would have been due primarily to that 48 waistband of mine, and the load of poison inside it! Just as many a "tubby" man dies today, from putrefying substances in a neglected colon. I have no patience with laying the blame on the heart, when it is simply poisoned to death from the sewer! It took me over two years to recover from a condition which would certainly have killed me. I used a mixture of the sulphates of magnesia, soda, lime and potassium for a "house cleaner" and, I still clean house with it every day. I quit eating enormous lots of sweets, cake, preserves, etc. (Next Weeks Old Remedies) Conquest of Europe Guy E.

The party will reach Brussels on July 11, when it is probable that the Glee Club will give a "command" per- formance before King Albert and the royal family. Reaching Paris on the 16th, the Ohio Wesleyans will have a full week there before entraining for Cherbourg, whence the Montrose sails on the 29th for the homeward voyage. A Daring Effort—Paris to New York A Daring Effort—Paris to New York AUTOCASTER Capt, Charles Nungesser, daring French Ace, and Eugene Coll, navigator, who made the first 1927 attempt to fly the Atlantic, Paris to New York. All nations anxiously watched and hoped such courage would be rewarded with success. When seemingly lost, all ships in North Atlantic waters made effort to locate them. AUTOCA TER Here is a typical group of Mississippi flood victims—a family of white tenants—driven to the levee from the lowlands. They are awaiting the arrival of a Red Cross boat to take them to aawn on the highlands. The Red Cross is still asking for funds. A "Muskies" are so plentiful as French River, Ontario, according to J. G. Strathdee, who runs the French River Bungalow Camp at this Ontario resort, that he and his mother, while paddling down the River, part the golf course, struck a muscalunge at least four feet long which was sunning itself near the surface of the water . The muskie, which was as surprised as the cannists, leaped several feet out of the water then vanished from view French River Bungalow Camp has WESTLAND WATER AT FRENCH RIVER A PORTAGE as an adjunct Pine Rapids Camp, which is 25 miles up the river. These two camp accommodate ninety people, plus musculature, Great Northern pits, pickerel, and small and large mouth black bass. There are thirty well built and comfortable bungalows at the main camp, while Pine Rapids has canes houses built on wooden floors. French River is 215 miles North of Toronto. Here he took to Mr. Strathaen about a "muskie with a tooth ache in August this fine fresh water a tiger needs a fish dentist.

Gray, U.S. A., went up and up in a free balloon at Scott Field, Ill., until at 41,000 feet he was losing consciousness when he pulled the exhaust cord to return to earth with a new world altitude record. Adventure Pays AUTOCASTER Could you be mad at him? Morris Halegna is only 9 years old, he sailed, stowaway, from N. Y. with 14 cents, for Cuba. He called back home with $14.14 - gifts from passengers. Fighting Muscalunge a visitor to French River hooked a 30-pounder which immediately dropped to the bottom of the river and sulked. The knowing Indian guides tapped the rod with his knife; the vibrations went through the pole, down the line to the mouth of the "muskle" and irritated one of its sore teeth. The muskie then leaped clear of the water, and proceeded to give the fisherman a force fight lasting three-quarters of an hour! The muscatunge at French river run from 10 to 45 pounds and the was caught in this well known ailing resort which weighed 60 KELLY MILLERS AUTHENTIC HISTORY OF NEGRO IN WORLD WAR A GREAT NEW WORLD WAR HISTORY In addition to its containing a graphic account of the War, includes many chapters on subjects of vital interest.

Many striking testimonials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY.
