THE RICHMOND PLANET HEAD OF JOE MORRIS ALMOST SEVERED By WILLIE RIGGINS A GRIM TRAGEDY HERE---RAZOR USED WITH A DEADLY EFFECT Rev. Dr. Morris Meets the Issue Squarely Refuses to Sign Papers----Investigated the Charges. VOLUME XLV. NO. 19 HEAD A GRIM T Rev. Dr the Is Refuses to S February 29, 1928. Mr. C. S. Morris, Richmond, Va. Dear Sir: Perhaps you are familiar with the petition that was presented to the Board of Directors of the Friend's Orphan Asylum, requesting the exoneration of Mrs. Edith L. Bradford, and Rev. D. J. Bradford. A certain rumor was spread about Rev Bradford regarding one of the inmates of that institution, which, upon investigation, proved to be groundless. The following ladies and gentlemen on said board have signed the petition exonerating Rev. Bradford, and endorsing the competency and good conduct of Mrs. Edith L. Bradford, namely S. W. Turner, Wm. H. Stokes, J. J. Carter, W. R. Miner, W. T. Johnson, George T. Walker, Anderson Knox, E. F. Johnson and Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes. The only two names which remain to be signed are and E. C. Burke. Mr. and Mrs. Bradford have no inclination, unless compelled to do so, to institute suit for damages against those who have not signed this petition, and unless I receive a favorable reply from you, I shall govern myself accordingly. I should be glad to have an interview with you at your beck and call. I am satisfied after the matter is explained, you will not hesitate to sign the petition. Very truly yours, BNJ. LOVENSTEIN. Rishmond, Va., March 8, 1928. Benj. Lovenstein. Dear Sir: I received your letter of the 29th ult. demanding that I sign an extra creation of D. J. Bradford of certain charges. If I believed Mr. Bradford innocent, you would not need even to ask me, for gladly and of my own volition. I would do all I could to clear him of the slightest suspicion. I was chairman of a committee of which Mr. Burke was the other efficient member appointed by the Board of Directors of the Orphanage to investigate this matter. We did this fairly and without prejudice. We agreed in our findings. We had before us the sworn testimony furnished by Mr. Bane, Director of Child Welfare Work in Virginia. After fairly and honestly weighing the evidence before us, we were compelled to recommend a change of administration. This recommendation was approved and acted upon by the Board of Directors of the Orphanage. So far as I am concerned, the matter is closed. Your veiled threat of instituting a unit or damages, I regard as an act of war. I might have do in the conscientious discharge of my duty as a Director of a Colored Orphanage? People, who commit their children to an orphanage, managed by Christian and women, ought to be permitted to die without any fear that their motherless children will suffer harm while under the roof of that orphanage. I do not want to be sued, I abhor and dread law suits, but I would suffer something worse than a law suit before I would allow myself to be bullied in the signing on the dotted line as you demand. You can govern yourself accordingly. Respectfully, CHARLES S. MORRIS. MINISTERS' CONFERENCE EN JOYS GOSPEL FEAST Rev. R. C. Yancy Preaches Splendid Sermon. The order of the day at the Minister's Conference of Richmond and vicinity was a sermon by the Rev. R. C. Yancy, of Boyton, Va. Dr. Yancy's sbject was, "The Value of Simple Testimony." Briefly the speaker mentioned his work during his long pastorate of over forty years on his present field, reciting many interesting experiences through which he has passed during the years. Introducing his subject, the preach or directed the attention of the conference to 2nd Kings, 5, in which Naman is directed to seek the man of God, Elisha, and through him find a cure for his leprosy. Rev. Yancy stressed the statement of the little slave girl, showing that it was her simple testimony that led Naman to the prophet, thence to the Jordan and health. Continuing the preacher pointed out several instances in Holy Writ in which the simple testimony of individuals led to startling results. At the conclusion of the sermon, Miss Sadie Johnson of New York, who received Miss Johnson is leading the singing at First Baptist Church, where a revival is in progress. She rendered several selections with such fervor and spiritual power as to cause the brethren to rejoice. Rev. W. H. Skipwith, our own singing evangelist, was next introduced and by request led in song. As Brother Skipwith sang the brethren blended their voices with his and truly the "Spirit of God filled the temple." Such was the effect that several of the ministers were moved to tears. As the conference adjourned it was generally agreed that this was the most spiritual and beneficial session held for some time. At 8:30 the conference again assembled at Fifth Baptist Church to conduct the closing exercises of the 63rd anniversary of the church and the closing of the 15th year of the pastorate of Rev. A. D. Daley. Rev. Daley's life and work in Richmond were spoken of in glowing tones by speakers representing the conference and parapets of the church showed the acceptance in which this man of God is held by his good people in a tangible way, a suit of clothes from the sisters, a purse from the chair, another from the ushers; it was simply a shower, and amidst it all Sister Dale, who has stood shoulder to shoulder with her husband, through the years, was not forgotten. At the close a tasteful repast was served in the recently renovated basement of the church. The conference wishes for Rev. Daley and the good people of Fifth Baptist many years of continued good fellowship together, and is justly proud of this spiritual giant, who without ostentation and with meekness and humility in keeping with his deep spirituality so well in the West End of our fair city.

SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1928 DO YOU KNOW HIM? In Re Alexander Taliaferro, Als. Tyler, Colored. Washington, February 24, 1928. To the Chief of Police, Richmond, Va. Dear Chief: On the 15th of February, 1911, we transferred the above Alexander Taliaferro, als. Alexander Tyler, a colored man, who was insane, from the St. Elizabeth's Hospital, this city, to your office where he was taken charge of by you or your predecessor, Major Werner. We have just learned from the above St. Elizabeth Hospital, this city, where the patient was at the time of his being returned to your city, that this patient left at the hospital a watch and fob, which the hospital forgot to give us at the time of his transfer, and they are anxious to locate this patient if possible, so his belongings can be returned to him or his relatives. Do you think there is any chance in your locating the above patient or his friends (we believe his relatives were dead at the time), so the above watch and fob could be returned to him. Yours truly, GEO. S. WILSON. HENRICO COUNTY, VA. Gravel Hill Baptist Church. Rev. W. L. Tuck, Pastor. Superintendent C. V. Brown and Assistant A. Young incharge of Sunday School.

To the Public and Constituents of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society: I very much regret the impression that was made by the article that I wrote in the Richmond Planet. I am still with the Lott Carey. The article was written for the express purpose of correcting some misleading statements that had been made concern- The well-known Mr. John A. Hines has been indisposed at his residence during the past week. (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Information has been given that Joe Morris always carried a knife. He had a habit of whittling sticks with it. It is also reported that two persons saw a knife on him after he fell at First and Duval Streets. Willie Riggins alleges in his statement that Joe Morris had a knife. Joe Morris, a well-known character in the underworld, was fatally cut with a razor by Willie Riggins, alias Bunglesom Green, on the northwest corner of Second and Duval Streets, Monday night, March 12th. Morris, after being cut, ran to the southwest corner of First and Duval Streets, where he dropped exhausted, having left a trail of blood from the point of attack. A hurry call for the ambulance was made at the Howard Pharmacy. Benjamin Kersey was there at the time and hastened to the diving man. Morris gave two gasps after his arrival there and died immediately. The man had been cut once on the left side of his neck and throat and a hideous ghastly wound was the result. Willie Riggins appeared in the Police Court, Judge John L. Ingram, presiding, Tuesday morning, March 13th. He was entered on the police blotter as being 39 years of barber, residence 807 North Second Street, being employed in a barber shop at 823 North Second Street. Undertakers Nearby. At the point where the tragedy occurred, almost directly across the street, was one undertaking establishment and a half block further was another. Funeral Director C. P. Hayes, who took charge of the remains. Willie Riggins upon being interviewed said: "I work at 823 North Second Street. The barber shop is owned by Robert Wright. The affair happened on the northwest corner of Second and Duval Streets. Morris came to the shop and wanted me to give him the dollar. When I did not give him the dollar, he started a fuss. It started in the shop. He went out and got "Crow" (Oscar Jones). Crow had a pistol. Morris waited across the street until we closed the shop. I went over to Second and Duval Streets to get a pocket handkerchief. Alleged Morris Threat "Just as I came out of the store, Morris came up to me and told me that he was going to cut my head off. He had a pocket knife in his hand. I had a razor in my pocket. Morris cut me in the hand." (He exhibited his hand, which had a slight cut in the palm). "I took my razor and cut him. I cut him once. I walked down Duval Street toward Third Street. I went on to Leigh Street. I was arrested at the big garage at Seventh Street. I came here from Summerton, South Carolina. I have been here four months. A Relative Here "I have a first cousin here, named Ernest Riggins. I do not know what time it was." The body of Joe Morris rested on a couch in the funeral parlor of the Bayes, 70 North Second Street, and many filed in to take a last look at the slain leader of the underworld. Coroner Whitfield Investigated An inquisition taken in this city this 14th day of March, 1928, before me, Dr. Jas. M. Whitfield, coroner, upon the view of the body of Joseph Morris: Robert Wright was sworn and deposed: I live at 1009 N. Third Street, and work at 823 N. Second Street. Joseph Morris was cut by William Riggan (also known as Bungling Green) on the sidewalk on the northwest corner of Second and Duval Streets about 11:30 P. M. on Colored Virginia Artist Receives High Honor Outstrips Noted Artists----Natural Gift for Painting. March 12, 1928. At the time of the cutting, Harvey Racks, Joe Morris and Riggins and I were standing on the ground. Joe said to Bung, "You treat me wrong. Why can't you treat me right?" Bung offered Joe a pocket handkerchief, but Joe said, "I don't want anything you got." I turned around and saw Morris running up Duval Street. Joe turned and started back towards Second Street and Riggan started toward Joe. Then Joe turned again and went towards First Street. Riggan went east on Duval Street. There were spots of blood where Joe had been, from Second Street to First and Duval Streets. Joe and Riggan had been arguing some time before Joe was cut. I don't know what the argument was about, nor not hear either way any threats didn't mean was Joe's business. Riggan was a barber. Joe died on the corner of First and Duval Streets.—Robert Wright. Harvey Racks was sworn and deposed: I live at 905 North Second Street. I was on the northwest corner of Second and Duval Streets when Willie Riggan cut Joe Morris. Saw Riggan Strike. I saw Riggan hit Morris, but did not see what he hit him with. I don't know whether Morris had any weapon. I don't know what they were arguing about. After the cutting Morris ran toward First and Duval. Riggan ran after him about 30 feet and stopped. Morris turned and started toward Riggan and then turned again and started away from Riggan, who then went toward Third Street.—Harvey Racks. Coroner James M. Whitfield confirmed the report that the head of Joe Morr's was nearly severed from his body at one blow with a razor by Willie Riggins, alias Green. It is a remarkable thing that he was able to run from Second to First Street after the injury. The blade of the razor went to the bone. DR. R. F. TANCIL GONE The funeral services of Dr. R. F. Tancil, one of the best known physicians and public spirited citizens in this State, took place from the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. Rev. J. Andrew Bowler, the pastor officiating. The services were inspiring and sympathetic and a large crowd throughed the church edifice and packed the streets surrounding the place of the impressive ceremonies. Funeral Director Robert C. Scott, the well-known transporter of the dead, had charge of the remains. Rev. Bowler was at his best and coupled with the solemn anthems of the choir and other selected singers, the exercises will long be remembered on Church Hill. It would fill a book to give a detailed account of Dr. Tancil's work among these people, where he had chosen to reside. He left a daughter, Mrs. Pearl Tancil Langston, who is now a resident of Philadelphia; a son, Richard F. Tancil, Jr. Mrs. Tancil had preceded her husband to the grave. The services took place at twelve o'clock last Sunday. The Planet is only $2.00 per year. 5 cents per copy. WISHES IT TO CONTINUE Rev. C. M. Cartwright, D.

"Long may you live to champion our cause." FULTON NOTES At the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church last Sunday the sermon was delivered by the Rev. Vergie Meade, one of our own men and a product of the Virginia Union University, former pastor of Battle Creek, Michigan. A grand sacred concert was held at the church at night.

VERED GGINS Y EFFECT a Artist Honor Natural Gift NEGRO NOVICE WINS OWER NOTED ARTISTS; ELEVATOR MAN'S PAINTING IS FIRST SOLD. NEW YORK. March 18, 1914. A painting by a negro elevator operator won over a drawing by Sargent and oils by other well-known American artists as the first picture to be sold by the newly opened art galleries of Thomas Russell at 37 East Fifty-seventh Street. The picture is the first attempt at painting by John T. Haitstalk, 32 years old, 117 West Sixtieth Street, who has been elevator operator, furnace tender and general handy man at 37 East Fifty-seventh Street, which houses several art and antique gallers. Some time ago, after studying canvases by radical painters who he carried up and down in his elevator, Haitstalk made the boast that although he had never touched palette or brush he could paint a better picture than some of those he handled. Some six weeks ago, he said yesterday, he started work on a painting to portray memories of Varrenton, Va., where he was born and brought up. Every evening at home he did a little work on the atray, last week he brought it, still to Mr. Russell, who was formerly associated with the Fergaril Galleries in the same building and whom he had known several years. Mr. Russell said yesterday that he became interested in the work once as an example of primitive self-expression that "out-modernized the moderns." He spoke of it to several persons whom he knew to be interested in this type of work, received several bids and finally sold it to Miss Lauren Ford, painter for children. The picture is a 28 by 30-inch landscape panorama, with houses and barns and winding roadways in bright colors. An old-fashioned pump is a conspicuous feature of the landscape. Children are depicted rolling hoops, a terrier is barking, and bright-colored automobiles come and go. Haitstalk said that when he had finished the picture the children looked so happy that he decided to call it "A Happy Day." RISING MT. ZION BAPTIS CHURCH The services Sunday were very encouraging and spiritually. At 11:39 the pastor preached from the 1st chapter of St. John, whom for his discourse, "Jesus the Light of the World." At 3:30 P. M., the communion services started. A sister from St. James Church sang a soul-stirring hymn, in which the whole church was rejoiced. The pastor represented the Death and Suffering of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Every Wednesday night at 8 P. M. are prayer services. All are welcome. MRS. JEROME A. DEANE. Reporter.

SATURDAY.....MARCH 17, 1928 You cannot delve in sin and live in iniquity and then go to heaven when you die, even though most of the people hereabouts seem to think You can teach by precept and example, but mostly by example. That is why the colored folks are steadfastly imitating the bad traits of some of these white folks around here. The quickest way to squelch all of this talk about the Oil Scandal is to start a counter movement to investigate the inside arrangements in those World War contracts. You can pray as much as you please, but if you do not practice right living and honor in your daily affairs, you might as well be talking up one of these high chimneys for the good that your supplications will do in heaven. By the time Senator Willis, of Ohio, gets through with the Hoover boom in Ohio, it will be unfit for service in any other State. As for the Willis candidacy, his friends realize that it could not be any worse off and it may be better before a nomination is made in the National Republican Convention in Kansas City. We have read with much interest a recent statement sent out from the headquarters of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation at Atlanta, Georgia. It quotes the Institute of Social and Religious Research as stating that from 1900 to 1925 there was a shifting of (2,100,000) two million, one hundred thousand Negroes from the country to the cities. As a matter of fact, it should have been just the other way. We were led to enquire, what has become of that "army" of young Negroes, who have been and who are now being trained for the farm and for other industrial pursuit? It emphasizes the fact that without the proper materials, human material, the millions of dollars expended upon these young Negroes are being thrown virtually away. A weeding out process should be instituted to the end that when a young man wants to be a scientific farmer, it should first be ascertained whether or not he possesses the brain and the brawn for such an experiment. Most cities have young men with college training doing work, which could just as well be performed by others without college training they tend to enter the professions, and after that are satisfied with the ordinary routine work in their particular line, possessing no incentive to excel and to win fame in their chosen professions. The outlook to us is gloomy. It may be that there is a silver lining somewhere up wonder that we are unable even with a telescope to see. THE LOCAL POLITICAL SITUATION Some of our colored citizens seem determined to exercise their rights and privileges in the Democratic primary. God and the precinct judges permitting on that fateful April 3, 1823. There seems to be no valid reason for their not doing so, protesting that they are qualified to vote in the nomination election and have other issues conflated with the rules and regulations of the Democratic committee, during those relating to either race or color. If a citizen of color voted the Democratic ticket during the last regular election, and has complied in are-paying his poll tax during the last three years and has been a resident of this State for two years, he is required to look any Democratic candidate in the face and to insist that he be voted to vote for Mayor J. L. Wright, ex-Marjorie Ainie or Attorney John Hirschberg, one or the other, but not for all of them. A colored citizen can declare himself a Democrat and vote, all other requirements having been complied with. He must vote though next November for the nominee of the Democratic Convention for President at Houston, Texas. There is no use talking about the denial on the part of the Democrats to permit the colored citizens to vote. The question has been legally settled by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Texas case. Should the right be denied, each voter should proceed at once to the judge of the Hustings Court of this city, who is usually readily accessible on election days for just such purposes as these and should the colored voter be able to establish the fact that he is a Democrat and that he has performed all legal requirements save that of color, an order will no doubt be issued directing the judges of his precinct to accept his vote as a member of the Democratic party. Should the Negro-hating element in the Democratic party not wish to have citizens of color participate in their party affairs, they must revert to the convention system, which is not supervised by the legal machinery of the government. Are you a Republican? If you are stay out of the primary. Are you a Democrat? If you are, walk up to the polls April 3, 1928, and vote for the candidate of your choice. "VIRGINIA ANTI/LYNCHING LAW" The Richmond, Virginia, TimesDispatch, in its issue of the 9th inst., has this to say about the recently enacted Anti-Lynching Law: In the adoption of the anti-lynching bill sponsored by Governor Byrd, Virginia has shown the way to those States of the South whose escutecheons are marred now and then by mob violence. While the law, without the provision which would have required the county in which the lynching was done to app $2,500 to the family of the person killed, is not as strong as it might have been, it is comparable to the cap in the right direction and is a plain indication of the adverse attitude of the community toward this particular crime. The passage of the measure is a distinct mark of progress. And again: The law defines lynching as murder, and under its provisions the Attorney-General of Virginia is permitted to appear as prosecutor. Thus the State itself steps in to assist in handling situations arising from mob violence. The entire machinery of the government at Richmond is placed at the disposal of the county which has been outraged by a case. Thus the influence of the fact that this is done will in itself, no doubt, give pause to those persons inclined to take the law into their own hands. It concludes as follows: Virginia in the recent past has not been much afflicted with the crime of lynching. The best people of the State always have been violently opposed to it under any circumstances. When a mob forms justice is flaunted. Such action is contrary to all our ideas of good order. Occasionally, the rougher element of the community has brought reproach through its own disrespect for right upon the entire State. Virginia now has the means to curb this spirit of violence, and it should not hesitate, if the occasion should arise, to employ it to the utmost extent. This is an admirable analysis of this specific legislation. Governor Byrd did his duty and it is to be hoped that his successor in office will renew the recommendations made by him to the end that the legislative "teeth" in the measure may be restored.

After waitup thirty years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, travel, 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, and 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.

CRIME AS A BUSINESS. WIRELESS FLIGHT, PERMAPS. This will interest farmers' wives, Mrs. James Hamilton, of Pawhuska, Okla., not satisfied with thirty cents a dozen for fresh eggs, developed this idea. She knew how to make good angel cake. Eleven eggs make a cake that sells for a dollar. Cost of other ingredients amount to little. Mrs. Hamilton put her eggs in angel cake and got nearly one dollar a dozen. ★★ Many farm wives, however, far from any angel cake market, can sympathize with an Irish farmer asked by an efficiency man, "Do you know what the ducks swimming in that mudhole would be worth in London?" "I do," replied the farmer, "and have you any idea what the puddle of water would be worth in hell if I had it there?" The market is the problem. *** Stefanson, Arctic explorer, tests in a hospital, under medical supervision, a diet consisting exclusively of fresh meat and water. Thousands within the Arctic Circle live on such a diet for months at a time, some of them eating as much as twenty pounds of fresh meat in a day. But it is not a good diet. Men were put on the earth to cultivate it and should eat all of its produce, the spices and oranges of the South and the red fruits from the West. But if compelled to choose between all meat and all vegetables, choose the meat. You probably will not live as long, but you will think more. A vegetable is not good for thinking.

It burns no fuel, is expected to fly for 2,000 hours, and Lester J. Henderson, the inventor, is full of hope. It is only hope as yet, although the working model performs well. Eventually, no doubt, as Tesla and others believe, flying machines will pick up "wireless power" from the earth, borrowing from Niagara, the Colorado River and other sources as they fly around the world. That will solve power problems, and 1,000 miles an hour speed will annihilate distance. * * * A French flier surpasses the American "loop record" by turning eleven hundred and eleven aerial somersaults with a monoplanet in four hours and fifty-six minutes. That is exactly as unimportant as the number of back somersaults turned by a circus actor.

Some young Russians, according to report, are divorced five and six times in one year. Russian authorities say this is a proof of good morals, proving that young people insist on retaining the marriage status, even if they change every month, and that they will not sink to promiscuity. This must stir emulation in our young "trial" and "companionate" marriage enthusiasts. ```markdown ``` A severe objection in Jerusalem mothers in need of the nurture and old mother care pay no attention to the importance of persons or localities.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. HEELS Now, my dear, you may have expected this for a long time; I am sorry I have not spoken of you earlier. But you would not have taken my advice, even if I had been more punctual. But, don't get the idea that I don't know what I am talking about; I have been looking at heels long enough to be quite sophisticated, I assure you. If a carpenter propped up your house with the sort of props you use on your beautifully curved bodies, you would fire him body, and wouldn't live in such a tech structure, now would you? You punish yourself daily, try to appear comfortable, behave in the modern fashionable heels! Just the fat woman can dance herself on a pair of spindles smile—is too solemn a problem such as I have seen today—and for me to wrestle with. Anybody must realize with a moment's reflection, what that sort of a prop under the heel will do to the toes. Wedged in their narrow prison, they become knotted, calloused, corn-studded. And the thing doesn't end with the toes it reaches far above—to the pelvis and its vital content. It is quite possible that numerous displacements are caused, and constriction set up, or made worse. Yes, and the lines of the face are often distorted in the conflict between angry of corns and the serenity attempted. I do not know of anything more contrary to health and natural comfort, than the crazy aggerated creations designed for our ladies' and girls' feet today. If a human female had been created with this kind of deformity on her feet, she would have distracted the neighborhood surgeons, with her cries to have amputation performed. This is the age of one other way than God's way. The way we go is going to be irreligious, this trying to improve on the Creator's plan tions, Says Expert MOROWIN SEES MME NELENA QUIBINGTEIN OFF FOR EUROPE "Rhythmic calesthenics as demon- trated by Mikail Mordkin is a wholly new idea in beauty culture. It has as its basic purpose the exercise of every tiny muscle of the body and the de- velopment of every curve and contour and contour of the body and also health. Beauty is essentially rhythm and the rhythmically de- veloped physique is an approach to the perfection of the flesh."
