THE RICHMOND PLANET Coleridge Davis Hits Child as She Runs in Path of Car. 8-year-old Constance Anderson Badly Hurt When Struck by Car Driven by Popular Dancing Teacher. Accident Takes Place on Adams Street VOLUME XLIV. NO. 32 Colerid Child 8-year-old Badly Hurt Car D Dar Accident Tal Coloridge E. Davis was arrested last Wednesday afternoon upon a charge of careless and reckless driving on Adams St. between Clay and Leigh Sts. and injuring an 8-year old child named Constance Anderson The child's mother, Martha Anderson lives at 512 Adams St. She is employed in Ginter Park and was at work at the time. Mr. Davis was in a highly nervous condition as a result of his experience. He said the child ran directly in front of the car. The right side of the girl's head was bloody and a knot as large as a walnut had formed just above the right eye. WANTED TO KEEP CHILD FROM HOSPITAL. Dr. O. B. H. Bowser was huckleby at hand and administered immediate attention. It was some time before the party in the house would agree to the removal of the child to St. Philip's Hospital, insisting that nothing should be done until the child's mother, for whom she had sent, had arrived. Finally the ambulance surgeon removed the child and the woman went with it to the hospital. Mr. Davis was in the parlor of Dr. Bowser's home during this time. He was recognized for his appearance in the Juvenile Court last Thursday morning. Mr. Davis is instructor of aesthetic dancing at the Y. W. C. A., a member of the famous Johnson's Happy Pals Orchestra and very popular among the younger set of Richmond.

To the Editor of The Planet: Your timely editorial on the Race question of the 21st inst. is much to the point regarding a young man of our group whose application had failed of recognition by the War Department. There is always one point to be considered by those of our group who aspire to enter higher government positions, no matter what may be the idea of constitutional rights—that is, the white race the world over is one and the same race when it comes to the full recognition of the Negro, for we learn by observation that in every walk of life and in every sense of the word they decidedly favor one another before the Negro is considered. We need not go to South Carolina or to Georgia to find race prejudice. We find it good and thick here in Boston and in the State of Massachusetts. In thought and in sentiment the white race North and South speak and act as one people when it comes to the question of full recognition and manhood rights of the Negro, making it evident that the Negro is not wanted in the higher walks of social and civil life of the white world. Shall the writer mention here the name of the brilliant Colonel Charles Young whose hopes were defeated and ambition murdered? Mr. Calvin Coolidge, like Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Wilson and those who may follow to the Presidential chair will inevitably to the sentiment of the white world regarding the full recognition of the Negro. ROBERT W. CARTER, Brookline Mass. COLORED MAN CHARGES PEONAGE. ATLANTA, GA. June 4—Governer or Clifford Walker has started a rigid inquiry on charges made by James Felton, colored, at Danville Va. that he had been kept in peonage for nearly a year and a half on a farm owned by a "Dr. King" in Oglethorpe County, Ga. He said that fifty others were being held in a virtual state of slavery there and that they were guarded by twenty-five men to prevent their escape. Felton also added that five prisoners were murdered during the time that he was on the farm. He said that he was on his way to Virginia from Florida and when his automobile broke down near the plantation of "Dr. King" he was shanghaied there, escaping on two weeks ago. The Governor is inclined to doubt the truth of the sensational charges. It was pointed out today that Dr. W. R. King of Oglethorpe County has been indicted on charges of peonage, involving not only colored men but also two or three white men. Dr. King is a prominent doctor and farmer. His trial will begin in the United States Court in Athens on Monday. ON WRVA RADIO PROGRAM The choir of Sharon Baptist Church corner of Leigh and First Sts.

JOHNSON. Chairman Deacon Board TWO THOUSAND HEAR DR. BECTON NIGHTLY AT FIFTH ST. CHURCH GOSPEL FEAST PARTY WINS THE HEART OF RICHMOND. A clean, straight-forward life and a square deal for God has been the plan of Dr. G. Wilson Becton during the past weeks of spiritual blessing to Richmond while "The World's Gospel Feast Party" revival has progressed rapidly. Overflowing crowds are rushing in at an early hour for all services. Many were turned away Sunday afternoon when Dr. Becton preached a special sermon to women and girls from the subject: "The True Woman and the Untrue Woman." Truly, every mother and daughter thanked God for Dr. Becton Sunday afternoon. The message was a real heart to heart talk. The Commencement service for the graduate nurses of Saint Philip's School of Nursing, of which Dr. W. T. Sanger is President and Miss Elizabeth C. Riaz, Director of Nursing was witnessed by more than 1800 persons Sunday night. Dr. Becton preached "Is Your Religion a Form or a Force?" The graduates and everyone present left with the assurance that His grace is sufficient for every trial of life. Dr. R. E. Blackwell President of Randolph-Macon College for Men, delivered the Commencement Address on Monday night, at which pins and awards of honor were presented to the six young women who are just beginning their service for humanity. Dr. Becton will preach a special sermon for men only Sunday afternoon at three o'clock sharp. The service Sunday morning will begin prompt at eleven o'clock. The name "The World's Gospel Feast Party" is certainly well chosen to introduce Dr. Becton and is gifted wife, accompanied by the splendid group of well trained and cultured young people. The world is made welcome, not only to the feast of strong gospel preaching by the evangelist, but the party of music and song by Madam Becton and the orchestra. There is something wonderful in music; words are wonderful, but music is more wonderful. It speaks not to our thoughts as words do, it speaks straight to our hearts and spirits, to the very core and root of our souls. Music soothes us, stirs us up, melts us to tears; it is a language by itself just as perfect, just as divine just as blessed as speech. Music can be truly called the speech of angels—even the speech of God Himself. Richmond is proud that Dr. Becton has been convinced on his first visit, the while, not unlike other parts of the party, the world with its many fascinating influences and motivations to join in its great program of destroying forces, has a firm hold upon the youth, there are some even in Richmond, who are brave enough to step out and take a stand for God. We happily announce that Mr Paul Morton, promising young man of this city, who is a gifted solist and who is very popular among the younger set, has accepted the invitation to join "The World's Gospel Feast Party" and dedicate his life and talent to the sacred service of God. While spiritual and material blessings have been filling our hearts with joy, there have been occasions to pause under the shadow of sad events during the past week. Pastor Morris preached the funeral sermon of Sister Gertrude Chaffin of 600 E. Leigh St. last Friday. Brother C. A.

Shepherds Hold Big Anniversary Service A Brilliant Display Made in Annual Parade Here Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes Scores Heavily Dr. A. W. Brown Delivers Eloquent Discourse. Following a spectacular parade, featuring a female uniform rank and a 50-piece band, all newly uniformed in natty outfits the Shepherds and Daughters of Bochehem packed the spacious Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon and observed one of the best anniversary day programs ever held in the trafical circles of Richmond. Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, Grand Presiding Shepherd of the Order was honor guest of the local Folds for the day. The annual sermon was delivered by Rev. A. W. Brown, pastor of Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Using as a basis of his discourse, the task placed upon the Israelites in Goshen by the Egyptians, that making bible scripture with With Scripture and woe wit he pictures the benefits of hindrances in a high-powered civilization. He showed that the road to success was beset with handicaps. The Shepherds and Daughters were greatly inspired by his great sermon, which will serve to motivate them toward definite achievements. Madam Ora Brown Stokes, Grand Presiding Shepherd never appeared to better advantage. She outlined the work of the Order and the program of her administration. She has begun a program of country-wide propagation of the Order and an improvement in fraternal operation which will place the Shepherds well in the forefront of fraternal in America. She was given an ovation. The popular Grand Secretary-Treasurer Amos C. Clarke, who has given a life to the Order, inspired the audience with statistical information relative to the remarkable growth of the Order during the past three years. He emphasized the recent campaign here in Richmond, when one thousand new members were inducted into the Fold. Other numbers on the program were selections by the Shepherds Chorus, Juvenile Chorus and a fine quartet from the Martha A. Morris Juvenile Chorus. The welcome was received by Deacon R. A. Preston and responded to by Lawyer C. A. McKenzie. A splendid offering was lifted by Mrs. Susie J. Williams, Mrs. Eliza A. Borkley, Miss Eugeria the Baker and R. C. Mitchell, Mrs. S. Sparrow had charge of the collection from the Folds. Rev. J. M. Griffin conducted the devotions and Rev. C. E. Smith offered benediction. Mrs. Susie H. Robinson handled the program in an admirable manner. Among the visiting guest were Rev. George H. Sims, of New York; Dr. J. U. King, of Washington, District Superintendent M. E. Church; Mrs. Dizzie McPherson, Deputy of Newport News. After these came Mrs. Emma Winn, who presented tokens to faithful workers.

M. an officer called up Funeral Director A. D. Price, Jr. and asked if they had a man employed there, named Alexander Hill. The night man replied in the affirmative. "Well, he is dead at Harrison and Main Sts. Send up and get him." No time was lost in doing so. Hill was taken sick on the street car and died before he reached this point. COLLAPSED AND DIED. He collapsed and died almost immediately. He had foamed at the mouth. He was one of the best known undertaking men in the city and officiated in most of the funerals for A. D.

Sinclair, millionaire oil operator, sentenced to three months in jail and a fine of $800 for contempt of the United States Senate in refusing to answer questions asked him during the Teapot Dome oil lease investigation in 1924, declared his sentence an experiment to justify political expedient. "I was today sentenced," said M. Sinclair, "for having refused to answer certain questions propounded by a committee of the Senate. The sentence of the court was foreclosed. As a citizen, I should have liked better if the sentence had shown to be more openly of the Senate and less of the court but it was a clever mixture. My testimony before the investigators of the Senate apparently failed to satisfy political curiosity.

Who won? The judges of the affair are still arguing about that because the chain broke after each of the contestants had appeared on the verge of victory. But following the affray, the truth went about its work of transporting circus supplies at a speed of 35 miles an hour while the elephant ambled off to the hay pile at the rate of two miles an hour. American people today the modern household cooks much of its food with electricity and is rapidly replacing the troublesome ice box, because it has been proved that even temperatures, which are impossible with ice-filled boxes, can be maintained with the electric refrigerators. Ice cream taught Americans a great deal about the value of frozen delicacies. With modern electric refrigeration the household of today is not restricted to just those dishes which can be made with the freezers but is now able to enter a whole new field of icees and frozen delights which were once only to be had in high-priced dining palaces.

Miss Universe MISS NEW YORK AUDIOCASTER Dorothy Britton of New York was crowned Queen of the Universe in the Galveston, Texas International Beauty Pageant—which made her happy as you can see. Just as the use of gas and electricity brought out many complete new lines of cooking equipment therefore a great variety of dishes before unknown to the culinary art modern refrigeration has developed many new delights. Scientists have determined through many experiments that the sense of taste is the best developed of all senses at birth and that, as humans grow older, tastes are rapidly cultivated to such an extent that it is no small problem to satisfy them all. Civilized men and women accustomed to the turrities of life have far from pleased if restricted to the fare served to our ancestors of even a few generations ago. Electricity brought in many new cooking implements with which the culinary artist is able to produce dishes having flavors never before known. With the cooking of new dishes came the necessity for better means of preserving food before cooking. Not only from the standpoint of keeping the food stuff free from destructive bacteria, but creating new cold dishes and frozen delicacies the matter of refrigeration became a natural development. Proper domestic cooling and freezing are now as important as proper heating and cooking. The well constructed and equipped household is today prepared to be conducted with the maximum of cleanliness and freedom from germ contamination. Doctors and dietitians have persistently educated the public to the point where proper selection, care and preparation (Copyright, 1927.)

One branch of the legislature of Texas is reported to have passed a bill authorizing the political parties in that State to regulate its own primaries. This is to meet the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States that a citizen could not be barred from the Democratic Primaries on account of their race or color. It is a fundamental principle of law that a State cannot delegate an individual, partnership, corporation or party to do that thing which the laws of the country prohibit the State from doing. The only way to get around the decision of the Supreme Court of Appeals is to abolish legalized primaries. This can be done by going back to the old party convention system. All races and peoples feel a hankering for something that they are not permitted to have. Just now, some of our free Negroes are very anxious to cast a vote inside a Democratic Primary booth for a white man of their choice. So far as we are able to observe it is all "much ado about nothing." The few exclusive colored folks, who desire to bask in the shadow of a Democratic Primary are "few and far between" and there are "mighty few in the hill." It will take about twenty-five years more to bring about a full crop. Selah. FIFTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Charles S. Morris Pastor (Coucladed from page 1) frightened horse last Thursday.

But it's repulsive in taste and smell and nearly every stomach rebels against it. So now men and women who keep up with the times are taking McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets—rich in flesh producing, health building, strength creating vitamins and as easy to take as candy. Try them for 30 days if you want to fill out those scrawny hollows in chest, cheeks and neck and gain strength and vigor. And bear this in mind if they don't help you in that time any druggist anywhere will return your money—But demand McCoy's 60 tablets 60 cents. --- Checker Cab Low Rates and Prompt Service WHEN YOU WANT SERVICE BADLY YOU WANT IT AT ONCE!

Clay EDITOR MOORE'S OBSERVATIONS (New York Age) "The Richmond Planet printed the following unique advertisement as a reading notice at the bottom of a news column on the first page: "Some people complain about life but they praise death when the remains are handled by Funeral Director. . . . His increasing popularity is caused by promo service and up-to-date equipment. Phone . . . ." "Evidently the praise must be voiced by the survivors, so that leaves the opinion of the principal actor in the ceremony a matter of conjecture. Probably there will be no rush of suicides in Richmond to give support to this glowing testimonial." S'MATTER POP OW! WANTS TO FIND THEM. WANTS TO FIND I am very anxious to locate my husband and son.

MULES CARRY TRUCKS HOW GRAHAM BROTHERS TRUCKS ARE BROUGHT INTO BUGARAMANGA, COLOMBIA, ON THE BACKS OF MULES --- This Week By Arthur Brisbane LINDBERGH AND COLUMBUS. A WONDERFUL MOTOR. NO JUMPING. LUNGS TOO GOOD. By the way, fathers and mothers, sad because their sons lack college education, will observe that Lindbergh went to no university, and his "prep school" was a plow on his father's farm. He was a solitary boy, thinking, enjoying danger and new things. Robert Westover, a garage owner in Montana, who once hired Lindbergh to make parachute jumps, says, "I don't think he was lonesome on that trip. Slim Lindbergh was a peculiar guy. He did not care for company or any excitement, except daring stuff. Everything he had he carried with him, helmet, goggles and toothbrush stuffed in the big pockets of his overalls." Lindbergh's difficulty now will be to find something worth doing that will not kill him. Lindbergh proves that deeds of daring "mad-cap audacity," seeming reckless at the time, are of great permanent value. It was called reckless folly when Columbus made his transatlantic "hop" in the opposite direction. Cool heads told him he would fall over the edge of the ocean, and his crew wanted to turn back. Fulton's experiment with steam, and Franklin's with the kite, seemed foolish. Congressmen that voted to spend money on Government experiments with telegraph messages were beaten for re-election. The voters "had no use" for a Congressman that would vote to waste money. Lindbergh's feat will find an echo in the next Congress. It will occur to some Congressman that if one man, all alone, could fly from here to Europe, some thousands might fly from Europe or Asia here, and be as welcome than Lindbergh was in Paris. The record shows that Lind- right motor used less than HOW GRAHAM BROTHERS TR ARE BROUGHT INTO BUCARAMA COLOMBIA, ON THE BACKS OF MULB The need for Graham Brothers trucks in out of the way places as well as in centers of population is strikingly illustrated by the story of Bucaramanga, Colombia. In the midst of a large and fertile agricultural district producing high quality coffee, tobacco and other valuable farm produce, this city is completely walled off from the outside world by the Tasco Cordillera range of the Andes Mountains. The only practicable means of getting persons or twelve gall. I gasoline per hour of flying and better than 100 miles to the hour. A twenty cents a gallon that means about $1 worth of gasoline, plus twenty lons of oil. Not expensive for a trip to Paris. Anybody who doubts that airplanes will carry passengers across the ocean for less than $50, "all daylight route," has little confidence in human ingenuity. Statistics show this country's income in 1926 totalled seventy-eight billion, six hundred and forty-nine million dollars, from all sources—the ditch digger's wages, the coupon tail's toll. That means $671 for every man, woman and child, or $1,805.37 for every person engaged in earning money. Professor Nash, teacher of physical education in New York University, justly criticises violent exercise for young girls. To permit competition for girls in hurdle races, high jumping, broad jumping, etc., is a crime against the girls now, and against the future generation. Girls were not made to JUMP. They were made for motherhood, and should be taught to respect and protect their complicated machinery. In the Fall "medicinal whiskey" bourbon and rye, made of corn and rye, will be manufactured under supervision of the Treasury Department. No whiskey should be suggested for medicinal purposes. If doctors say alcohol is necessary, they should use brandy made of grapes. Many poisons are in grain whiskey, even carefully made. Real brandy is free of poisonous oils and other poisons, unless you call pure alcohol a poison. Wood alcohol is deadly, potato alcohol is very poisonous, grain alcohol less poisonous, grape alcohol safest. Those that sent threatening letters, concerning the Sacco and Vanzetti case, to Governor Fuller did not frighten the Governor. He rejects the suggestion of a commission to review the Sacco and Vanzetti case, saying that the responsibility is his. The Governor cannot delegate his authority. The law provides that the decision must be made by him. Governor Fuller will do his own investigating and his own deciding. Consumptives will be interested to learn that physical work, even "hard work" in reason, is beneficial, not harmful, except in extreme cases. Consumptives often have lungs that might be called "too good," the lung area being so great that the heart finds difficulty in pumping an adequate blood supply. Exercise in moderation strengthens the heart, helps the patient. ULES CARRY TRUCKS TRUCKS MANGA. ULES manufactured goods into the city or shipping produce out is by pack mule over narrow and perilous mountain trails. Yet, in and around Bucaramanga, Graham Brothers trucks and commercial cars are being operated in large numbers on a net work of roads, 29 kilometers in total length, which abruptly end at the mountain confines of the valley. These trucks and commercial cars, 40 of which were imported during the last year, were brought into the valley like every other on mule-back. The trucks were disassembled THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. "GREENS" At this wonderful spring season, tender plants are springing up everywhere. Our ancestors, those long-lived fellows, welcomed the spring-time that brought the "wild greens." The home-cured bacon made ideal seasoning for them; in food-values they were one hundred per cent. Young, tender plants are rich in vitamins, readily adaptable to the human system. Necessary minerals for blood-making are here to be taken, not as medicine, but as palatable, satisfying food. If we only could realize all that Mother Nature does for us and how human greed is striving to take over her processes and sell the manufactured stuff as a better article—for cash "Greens" are within reach of every one. Our gardens are better than ever before; let's not ignore the fragrant spring onion. Why can't Dame Fashion decree that, only select circles can afford the exquisite "onion-breath" and note her devotees in the rush to acquire one? In the country the fence-corners are literally alive with "dock," "dandelion" and other edible wild plants. Mustard, as grown in our back-lots, horse-radish taps, turnip-tops—O. there's no end of the health-giving diet, right from nature's pantry. Brown breads, a minimum of meats, buttermilk, early strawberries, new string-beans, lettuce, cottage cheese, fresh eggs once daily, with plenty of pure drinking-water, with abundant out-door exercise in the way of useful employment—tell me, ye wise men, what's the idea of anybody getting sick? I cannot think of any sub-acute or chronic condition that the above dietary, moderately indulged, can aggravate in the least. On the contrary, getting away from the tin can and the copyrighted menu, is a blessing for which we cannot render enough thanks. Now laugh, you!

Large units like the motor were carried by two to four mules hitched together.

Then the Canadian Pacific The Laurentian Mountains in which Champion Gene Tunney, conqueror of Jack Dempsey, started his training while on a trout fishing expedition, stretch like a great crescent between the St. Lawrence River and Hudson's Bay and form one of the most delightful and unspoiled vacation fields on this continent. From Montreal northwest to Mont Laurier there is a vast, picturesque region innumerable lakes, rivers and brooks steaming with big brook trout, various brothers of the famous specklebeauty and other game fish Every and any station is the jumping-off place for real fishing. Trip Through the SOO CANAL ABOVE THE LOCKS PORT MCNIC Tourists contemplating a vacation in the Canadian Rockies, Vancouver or Victoria; returning through Seattle and Yellowstone or Glacier National Park should not overlook the fact that the journey westward on the Trans-Canada can be broken by a most delightful trip of a day and a half through Georgian Bay and the Great Lakes. Lake Superior, the largest inland body of fresh water in the world, finds its outlet through Lake Huron and other lakes to the St. Lawrence and into the Atlantic ocean. It is 400 miles' long and 160 miles wide. Proof of the time of the French-Canadian trader with his flotilla of birch-bark canoes, to the present era. Tunney spent four days in the wilderness near Macaue, caught brook trout weighing from one to six pounds, picked up five pounds of weight and a good tan color and finished his fishing trip almost ready for the next "battle of the century." He was more interested in rowing, paddling and hiking in the open space of the interesting forge than in the actual fishing, but he ate speckled trout until he could not speak of the late Izak Walton even with the deference due from one champion "sherman to another." "Some trout," cooked over the fire in the wilderness by a Canadian guide, and eaten by tired and hungry fishermen with appetites whetted to Great Lakes One of C NON-P PASSEN of grain-laden whalebacks, the Great lakes have been the main artery of mercantile communication between Eastern and Western Canada. The steamer is taken from Port McNicoll going West, and the trip is made with delight. Georgian Bay dotted with islands, the economy like that of many lake districts.

W. O. McGeehan, sports editor of the New York Herald-Tribune, who accompanied Tunney, states that while hitting the trail Tunney always carried an exerciser in each hand. These instruments puzzled Pete Millejou, the guide. He wanted to know what they were for. "To strengthen the hands, I am going on to a little mono, piled Tunney."

Doubtless the Scotch factor then carrying the scoptre in his kibag considered it an engineering achievement to put together. Today it is a little troubled; few there are even find it. In 1883 Americans built their first canal with two tandem locks of masonry each 350 feet long and 70 wide. Then the Canadian Pacific Railway built in 1888 to 1895 a 6,000-foot lock, and Canada had at this time the finest lock in the world. Later the United States built a 1,350-foot lock advantages of these for shipping will not be realized till they are seen. Lake Superior is entered after the locks are left, and there are many hours when no sight of land is had. One can stroll around the decks and have a constitutional and with little imagination can picture the boundless ocean. The steamer docks at Port William the following morning at eight-thirty.
