THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VIRGINIA NOV 19 1921 STATE LIBRARY KILLED WRONG MAN ROBERT N. MITCHELL LOSES HIS LIFE. Henry Johnson Charged with the Murder---Charges Wife Was Unfaithful. TIGER FLOWERS DIES IN NEW YORK VOLUME XLV, NO. 2 KI ROBE Henry John (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Henry Johnson, 1802 Parkwood Avenue, unintentionally shot and killed Robert Mitchell, Monday night, 14th inst., near his home. The circumstances surrounding the case show that Johnson was suspicious of his wife and he followed her to Hattie White's house, a few doors from his own residence, where he claims he found her in a compromising position with Robert Staves, a huckleberry of Staves, the bullet struck Robert Mitchell, an innocent by-stander, in the forehead. Judge and Coroner In the Police Court last Tuesday, Judge John L. Ingram presiding, the case was continued, pending a report from Coroner James Whitfield, who was examining witnesses in his office just across the corridor. Robert Staves added but little to the information as to the real cause of the shooting, and told the officer that Hattie White owed him one dollar and he went there that night to collect it. While there, a girl was sent over to Henry Johnson's house to tell Johnson's wife, Mabel, to come over there as Johnson's wife owed him sixty cents. Henry Johnson came over and when he saw him, he ran out of the house. Henry Johnson was seen in the "pen" and he made the following statement: Caught in the Act I caught my wife in the act at Hattie White's. I had gone to bed between 8 and 9 o'clock, Monday night and I got up. A girl came over to the house and called my wife, Mabel, to come over to Hattie's house. I then got up and after a while went over to Hattie White's. Hattie White ran in and notified my wife I was coming. I rushed in behind her. I went to the room where they were. Bob ran out and I grabbed at him. Knocked Down He struck me and knocked me down. I fired at him twice. Bob lives on Chaffin Street. I work for Mr. Black, the contractor. I have been in Richmond fourteen years and I have three children. I have been married twelve years. My wife and I are from Caroline County, Va. My sisters are named Lucy, Bettie, Mary, Goldie, Eliza. My father's name is Henry Johnson, and my mother, Heath Johnson. Johnson was not aware until later that he had killed Robert Mitchell. The witnesses in the case are James Hubbard, L. C. Haake, F. J. Gentry, L. R. Kellam, H. E. Munson, K. H. Wilkerson. Sitting on His Porch. Robert Mitchell was sitting on a bench on his porch at his home across the street with Mr. Hubbert, when one struck him in the forehead between the eyes, killing him instantly. He never knew what happened. Funeral Director A. D. Price took charge of his body. IN MEMORIAM In remembrance of our uncle, Thos. Gates, who died November 19, 1926. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved so dear; A place is vacant in our home, That never can be filled. But God in His wisdom has recalled The one His love has given, And though the body slumbers here, The soul is safe in Heaven. Human hands had tried to save him, Sighs and tears were all in vain; Happy angels came and bore him Away from this world of pain. Softly at night the stars are gleaming Upon the lonely grave; Where sleeping without dreaming, Lies the one we love, but could not save. We know that all must part and suffer; Christ once suffered on the cross; To thee thy death has been thy gain, To us the heavy loss. We cannot forget you, dear uncle, While in this world we stay; God only knows our feelings Since you have passed away. —By his nieces. EDMONIA CURRY. REBECCA TERRELL THE FILM MAKES A SUCCESS OF THE FILM "THE FILM MAKES A SUCCESS OF THE FILM " MRS. LELIA WILLIAMS BANKETT NATIONAL LECTURER OF NATIONAL IDEAL BENEFIT SOCIETY, Inc. Mrs. Lelia Williams Bankett, who was officially connected with the Independent Order of St. Luke for more than twenty-four years, is now serving in the official capacity as National Lecturer for the National Ideal Benefit Society, a fraternal organization, headed by Mr. A. W. Holmes, Supreme Master, with headquarters at 210 East Clay Street, Richmond, Va. Mrs. Bankett finished her commercial training at Smith's Business College, Lynchburg, Va., in 1902. She taught stenography and typewriting, successfully, in the Armstrong Night High School, Richmond, Va., for more than four years, being one of the first instructors to teach the course. She is one of the few women of Richmond chosen by the Upsilon Omega Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority as one of its patronesses and is vice-president of her club. In her newly chosen field, the citizens of her home-town have pledged and are giving their local port. This is already demonstrated in her first effort in organizing a new lodge of the National Ideal Benefit Society, which was resultant of eighty members, gathered in two weeks. It is composed of some of the leading business and professional men, and women. It is the desire of Mrs. Bankett to thank her friends, far and near, for the loyal support given her at all times and on every occasion and invite their co-operation in her new old building. She may be municated with by writing to the headquarters, 210 East Clay Street, Richmond, Va.

SATURDAY, NOV. 19 1927 AUTO CRASHES INTO ELKS BAND A most unfortunate affair took place Friday night at about 7 o'clock on Second street near Bates street. A riot was only averted by the coolness of the officers of Capital City Lodge, No. 11, I. B. P. O. Elks. The Elks' Band with the members of the lodge had been stationed on the west side of Second street, preparatory to marching up to the City Auditorium where Harry Wills was the most notable attraction. Walker J. Miller, white, age 32 years of 2006 4th Ave., Highland Park came up Second street, going south at a rapid rate. He was nearly two blocks from the rise in the hill, when he attempted to pass a car in front of him by going on the right, when he should have passed it on the left. Many Injured This threw him into the band men on the granite spalls, which flank the concrete roadway on either side of the street at this point, when he should have kept on the concrete. As a result, he injured Albert Thomas, G. F. Taylor, Chester Bragg, Thomas Spencer, Frank Jones, Joe Mathews, Maurice Bright, George Hansley, C. B. Lewis, Morris Wright, W. J. Miller, George Crittendon, Cornelius Freeman, and William H. Corbin. The case was continued Saturday morning, due to the inability of some of the men in St. Philips Hospital to appear. Miller was bailed for his appearance again, when the men are well enforced to be present. Headlights Not On It is reported that Miller's headlights on his car were not burning. Much excitement prevailed as the ambulance made hurried trips to the hospital. MRS. NORRELL GONE. Addie L. Norrell, wife of Mr. M. Alphonzo Norrell, died Friday morning at 2 o'clock at their residence, 174 North Sixth Street, after a long and painful illness. The funeral took place from their home Sunday, the 13th instant, with Rev. Junius L. Taylor, rector of the St. Philip's P. E. Church, officiting. Funeral Director A. D. Price officiated. The funeral designs were numerous and costly. The Pennsylvanians at the Mosque Theatre this week was a great "hit." Packed crowds attend the night's performances and colored folks are mightily in evidence. The accommodations for them are among the best. That organ is a wonder and the organist who plays it is a wonder, too. The 25c crowd is happy, for that is all it costs for the superb performance. The L. F. M. Store is drawing some of the city's best customers. The goods supplied are at ground prices and the quality is "upstairs," and that makes everybody happy. Mr. A. Cary, of Columbia, Va., was in the city this week. Automobiles crowd the neighborhood and colored folks crowd the Mosque. The reason is that the service is fine and the cost is nominal. Only 25c. DR. BROOKS AT EBENEzER4 Dr. Wolter H. Brooks, pastor of the 19th Street Baptist Church, of Washington. D.

RUN BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE Phone Mad. 2793 Cliff Edwards, famed internationally as "Ukelele Ike" and featured in a number of notable New York musical comedy successes, will be one of the principal attractions next week at the new Mosque, Laurel and Main Streets, "Les Misérables" from Victor Hugo's masterpiece, reported to be the finest picture ever made in Europe and acclaimed on Broadway as one of the year's best productions, will be the special screen feature. Additionally, as an added attraction, the Mosque will present the Lilies of the Field Ballet Caprice, heralded as the funniest act in maudeville, and there will be a number of supplemental features. Cliff Edwards was one of the main contributors to the success of such hits as "Sunny," "Lady Be Good," and others. He is without a peer, even in Hawaii, as a performer on the ukelele, and his appearance here will be characterized by many of the newest song hits presented in his imitative style. "Ukelele ike" has a personality all his own, a voice uncommonly flexible, and his mastery of the uke is cause for amazement. He has elevated the little instrument to a high place in syncopated music. "Les Miserables" is reported to be a masterful production, done on a gigantic scale—a Universal Film de France and successor to Universal's memorable picturization of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." It is the story of a tremendous revolution, fiery romance and the great heart of Jean Valjean. Many critics have declared "Les Miserables" the finest drama ever filmed and its appearance in Richmond is an event of unusual note. With the various additional attractions, the bill probably will prove the best yet presented at the Mosque. HENRICO COUNTY VA Gravel Hill Baptist Church. Rev W. L. Tuck, pastor. At 11:30 A.

YORK at Fighter. ses Death. New York, Nov. 16.—Tiger Flowers, of Atlanta, Ga., middle weight champion of the world, died tonight after a minor operation. Death of the "Georgia Deacon" was announced through the office of Walk Miller, manager of Flowers, after information concerning the fighter's condition was refused at the private hospital of Dr. W. K. Fralick, where the operation was performed late today. Miller said that Flowers, after submitting to a minor operation for removal of a growth over his left eye, rallied from the ether in fairly satisfactory condition, but suffered a sinking spell some hours later and died shortly after 8 P. M. Nurses at the Fralick Hospital refused either to confirm or deny Flowers' death. In the absence of Dr. Frahick, who performed the operation, information of any kind was refused. The surgeon himself could not be located. Flowers won the middleweight title from Harry Greb, who died under almost similar circumstances in October, 1926, in a 15-round decision bout at Madison Square Garden here February 26, 1926. He lost the championship to Mickey Walker on a decision in Chicago, December 3, of the same year. The Tiger, a colorful battler of ceaseless punching type, fought his last battle here on November 12, when he knocked out Leo Gates, a heavyweight in four rounds. FUNERAL OF MRS. GERTRUDE L.

Men Ought to Die "Their Zenit" In Ought to Die at Thir "Their Zenith," Dec WILL DURANT محمد حسن علی بن محمد Most men at forty are out a reminiscence. Men ought to die at their seventh. At thirty-five a man is at the height of his curve. A married man is already five years older the next day and a married woman too. Thus declares Will Durant who himself at forty-four is today accepted one of America's most or oldest thinkers. In production "Story of Philosophy" he made an intimate study of the philosophy of all ages, which has aroused a growing interest as to his own conclusions. These he has just revealed for the first time, in the November Coopolitan. Answering the question, "What really is the meaning of life?" Durant has done what he at first claimed was impossible: he gives his biography of life. A few of the things he has said about Life is that which is discontent which struggles and seeks which suffers and creates. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` at Thirty-five— th," Declares Duran Childhood may be defined as the age of play; therefore some children are never young, and some adults are never old. Happiness is the free play of the instinct, and so is youth. Desire is too strong to be damned so unreasonably with moral prohibitions. Health lies in action and so is gracious youth. To so buy the secret of grace, and halt the secret of content. Hence youth is wise in preferring the athletic field to the classroom and in rating baseball above philosophy. As sensations diminish in intensity the sense of vitality fades, the desire for life gives way to indifference and patient waiting, the fear of death strangely mingled with the longing for life. This can be the great tragedy of old age, that looking back with inverted romantic age it may see only the suffering of mankind. --- TOPPING BELLE FOURCHÉ BEET SUGAR FACTORY Belle Fourche irrigation block will be utilized.

An Afro-American Fair was held November 8-10 by the Northern Neck Progressive Association at the new fair grounds on the highway between Lancaster C. H. and Kilmarnock, Va. It was a success Dr. M. E. Morris is President, A. T. Wright, Secretary and L. R. Flemings, Manager. An invitation was extended to the Planet. You may say what you will, but Kelley Miller of Howard University, Washington, D. C., is one of the leading outstanding characters in this country and in his particular field of critical endeavor in dealing with the great public questions concerning us and everybody else, in the language of the humorist he is "all by myself." This fact has been emphasized in his recent analysis and discussion of the debate between Alain Leroy Loecke and Lathrop Stoddard in the October Forum upon the subject, "Can America absorb the Negro." Dr. Miller says: Granting that there is to be ultimate amalgamation, the consummation is plainly too remote to affect present day programs and policies. The influences and forces now at work are trending too strongly in the opposite direction. Nor can we predict any change that will materially alter this tendency, unless, perchance we still believe in amalgamation. Then he facetiously concludes: Will the reader please remember that I am not essaying to deal in ultimates? I suppose that in two thousand years from now, if social chaos does not frustrate things, the residuary denizens of this nation will be one in physical feature and social harmony. But before the Negro thus becomes one with the great white body physical and social, he will first become one with himself. When this ultimate physical and social amalgamation takes place, if it ever does, it will come noiselessly and unobtrusively; but like the Kingdom of Heaven, it will not come with observation. We take it though that he is dodging the issue and he does not accept as conclusive observations that the white race will absorb the colored races. Still, we take it that his mild conclusion that the subject deals with a condition or solution too far in the future is born of commonsense, which is closely akin to wisdom. Selah. VIRGINIA In the Law and Equity Court of the City of Richmond, the 5th day of November, 1927. The object of this suit is to obtain an absolute divorce from the bond of matrimony, by the Plaintiff, from the Defendant, on the ground of desition for more than three years. And an affidavit having been made and filed that the defendant is not a resident of the State of Virginia, it is ordered that he appear here within ten days, after due publication of this order and do what may be necessary to protect his interest herein.

The moment this famous, old reliable plaster is applied over the aching part it brings relief—warms, soothes and quits the throbbing nerves and drives away the pain and misery caused by pain relief also because the medication in a Red Cross Kidney Plaster is continually being absorbed through the skin into the affected parts as long as the plaster remains on the body.

The deceased was the wife of Deacon Armistead Washington of Second Baptist Church. October 29, 1927. Friendship Lodge, No. 3846, G. U. O. F. In the mast of P. M. N. G. Sister Gertrude L. Washington, on Thursday, October 27th, the church, the community at large, and society have lost a friend and a co-worker. Her needs are inspiring, her work was acible, and she was always ready and willing to help whenever she could. If serving God is serving fellowmen, then we can truly say, Servant of God, well done, rest from thy labor. So we have rendered the last respect that the living can minister to the dead, of one who lived, loved and was loved by all who knew her. Resolved, That her life has benefited all who knew her. Resolved, That she has sown, reaped and gleaned a life of purity and innocence. Hundreds of young men and women can testify whom she taught in the Public Schools of our city, in the Sunday School classes and the various societies of which she was an ardent worker for Christ. Resolved, That copy of this condolence and resolution be sent to the bereaved family and to the H. H. of Ruth, 5530, to Odds Fellows Journal. We lay our garments by, Upon our beds to rest, So death shall soon disrobe us all, Of what is here possessed. Done by order of Friendship Lodge, 3846, G. U. O. O. F. WALTER COSBY, N. G. L. R. BOOKER, P. N. F. EVERETT C. WHITE, P. S. SECOND BAPTIST S. S. TRIBUTE Rishmond, Va., Oct. 29, 1927. Truly can it be said that on Thursday morning when the summons came for Mrs. Gertrude L. Washington to join that innumerable caravan that moves to the pa'e realms of shade, where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death, she certainly did not go to the quarry slave at high noon to the dungeon, but the sustained and sodded, like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams, for such was her end. Deepest Sympathy The Second Baptist Sunday School takes this method to express deepest sympathy to members of the family, in this their bereavement, but commend them to God who is just, and has only taken out of this world of sorrow one who has learned to love and serve Him. For a number of years, she has been a conscientious, ardent worker in our Sunday School; always striving to reach marks of efficiency, for she was Superintendent of the Primary Department, having taught in the same Department until ill health overtook her a few months ago, any task assigned to her, and counted accomplished, when she was approached. She never complained, for we were not cognizant of her illness until she was absent. Led the Forces Several years ago when a leader was needed (as in all organized forces) to marshall our forces to raise extra funds to aid in spreading the Kingdom of God on earth, it was she who willingly took this task, saying: "I'll do my best," and for several successive years when the task was thrust upon her, she even said, "if you can use me to do." In July, 1927, when the Master had laid the hand over infliction upon her a visit was made in reference to this matter sent word that she would not be able to assume leadership but would do her best among those she could reach. This was done. Frank in Convictions She was always very frank in her convictions, for those who came in personal contact with her, were never lost to know whether she was for or against a movement. Altho' absent from us for months, we had looked forward for her return, THE RICHMOND PLANET.

Washington, we will share with him, hissorrows, because he is our brother and fellow co-worker. We extend to him our deepest sympathy and with him bow in humble submission to the will of the Father of all, who is too wise to err and whose judgment is always exercised in the interest of his people. A brilliant mind, a splendid co-partner, a conscientious christian worker and a real companion has passed from active scenes of life to a greater life beyond the seas, where her brilliance will blend with that of Angels above. Heavy With Sorrow As our hearts are heavy with sorrow, and filled with sympathy and love, for our co-worker, in his hour of sore trial, we therefore direct him to the ever abounding grace and tender care of the Heavenly Father, who is able to comfort him.

St. Luke Worker Richmond, Va., Oct. 29, 1927. WHEREAS, it has pleased an All-Wise Providence for the third time in this year to send the great Reaper Death in our Council Chamber and remove from our midst another of our most honored and beloved members in the person of sister Gertrude L. Washington who departed this life Thursday morning October 27, 1927, a few minutes after ten o'clock. She was the organizer and Degree Chief of Free Will Council No. 176, I. O. of St. Luke more than 25 years ago. She was a loyal and faithful leader. No weather was ever too cold or hot to keep her from her past of duty, always looking out for the good of the council and interest of the Order in general. She always carried sunshine on her brow, never seeming to loose her temper under any conditions. We can truly say a great woman has fallen in Israel today. Therefore, we feel it a just tribute of re spect to offer the following resolutions: Had Many Virtues 1. Taht her virtues were worthy of emulation by all. 2. That we the members of Free Will Council No. 176. I. O. of St. Luke deeply deplore the loss of our most highly esteemed leader. We feel that a place has been made vacant in our Council that cannot be filled. 3.

That we will find consolation in the bone of seeing our sister again. DONE BY THE ORDER OF FREE WILL COUNCIL NO. 176, I. O. of St. Luke. MRS. MAGGIE DAVENPORT, W.C. MRS. ALICE WILLIAMS . V. C. MRS.

As time passes on we will never forget how she would seemingly lose herself in that impressive anthem: "O Beautiful Land of Zion." And now she has reached that land of which she sang, and has joined that Angelic Choir above to sing forever more. Gates Open We extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy and commend them to our Heavenly Father, who doeth all things well. O gates that open free to all Who do the Father's will, O portals open wide for me And bid my fears be still. I would not seek for earthly joys, When there awaits for me.

The angel of death has once more visited our Household and taken from our chamber our most faithful, beloved and earnest worker in the person of Sister Gertrude L. Washington. Our household shall certainly miss her for her presence will be forever missed and her uniring work will ever be lasting to our memory. Yet, at the time we regret that our sister has left us, it also leaves us the most comfortable assurance that she is happier than our fondest, hopes, wishes and care could have made her, which must enable us to support the remainder of years which it shall please God to allot us here without murmuring or discontent and quicken our endeavors to prepare ourselves to follow to that happy place where our dear sister has labored to go. Active and Zealous She was always active and zealous in her work as a sister; ever ready to succor to the needy and distressed of the fraternity; prompt to advance interest of the Order, wise in counsel and fearless in action, she shall miss her. To her husband and the members of the family we mourn with you in this sad hour, but can only commend you to God who doeth all things well. Lean on him and he will strengthen you.

Many of the sculptors employed are real masters in their craft. Their work includes the carving of intricate designs of tracery, figures of statuary, gargoyles and other grotesque pieces, as well as formal patterns of classical ornament for commercial edifices. Much of the work on religious structures has attracted wide-spread attention, as many of these ornamental carvings at a distance appear as soft and feathery as the tree tops of a forest. Hundreds of the outstanding American buildings have been brightened into finer artistry by the craft of these Hooster sculptors.

SCHOOL GIRL DOES 11/2 MILES DAILY Even Woman Shopper Does 81/4 miles daily. CHICAGO, Ill. — How far do you walk in a day? If your business keeps you on your feet, you cover a surprising amount of ground. On average shopping days the average woman walks 8½ miles. A school girl at school and play walked 11½ miles. A letter carrier whose record was measured by a walk-meter, walked 22 miles daily; a sales girl 8 miles; a department store buyer 7 miles; a chorus girl walked 4 miles during her act; at one of Henry Ford's dances a dancer, from eight a railroad conductor, covered 5¼ miles. Boston to Cleveland walked 7 miles collecting tickets. But tens of thousands of people live sedentary lives. In every city are multitudes who do not actually walk two miles a day. This is not because they are not able to walk. In fact people who measure their mileage soon find they are able to walk further as they take every opportunity to walk. Under the leadership of Dr Vim M Scholl the noted foot cynist of Chicago who argues more walking for better health walking contests in different parts of the United States have proved amazingly popular.

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 spirit 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."
