VOLUME XLV, NO. 38 SH Thomas Ta Thomas Taylor, 1319 N. 26th St. was shot July 23, 1928 and died at the St. Phillips Hospital the same day. His remains were turned over to Funeral Director Robert C. Scott and the funeral took place from his residence last Thursday afternoon. Norman and Rogers Jordan, charged with the shooting, were admitted to bail. One of the bullets went through Taylor's lung and heart, one broke his arm and lodged in the elbow and another struck him in the leg. Coroner E. G. Hill held an inquest Friday, July 27th in the coroner's office, City Hall, Coroner James M. Whitfield is out of the city. One of the bullets entered the abdomen also HOWARD, INDICTMENT HELD STEP BETWEEN OVER SOUTH- ERN, E. N. Race Leadership Change in Party Presaged by Heover Moves Two Colored Chiefs Already Displaced Mississippi Committeeman is Suspended From Post in Justice Department. (Washington Post, July 18) By Carlisle Bargeron. Indictment of Perry W. Howard, colored Republican leader in Mississippi is being accepted in political circles here as giving weight to reports that Secretary Hoover intends to shake off the colored rule of the party in the South. Howard's trouble it is polled out, follows the displacement of Jefferson Davis, the colored leader of Georgia, who incidentally is now figuring in an investigation similar to that which enveloped Howard. Walter Cohen, the colored leader in Louisiana for many years, also met his Waterloo at Kansas City. White men replaced both Cohen and Davis and it is generally believed that one will replace Howard as soon as that phase of the business is reached. The word is going out, to, that "Tieless John Tolbert of State Carolina Republican Rublicianism is slated to go next." Tolbert is white, but his leadership is over the colored race. Howard was suspended yesterday from his post as special assistant attorney general, as was Scott Hubbard, deputy United States marshal for the Southern district of Mississippi, who was indicted with him at Bloxi. The suspensions will hold until the men have either cleared themselves or have been convicted in the Bloxi case. Howard Charges Persecution Howard, at least, is accepting his trouble as a Hoover flop to the Southern "illy whites". In a statement yesterday he said his indictment was the result of persecution. He described himself as a martyr and said he was in trouble solely because of his leadership the Negro race. The Wichington Tribune, Negro newspaper here, viewed the matter in the same light. It was, in fact, no secret at Kansas City that Howard was in for a hard time when the convention was over. For several months the Hoover people had been having trouble with him. Counted upon to deliver his delegation to Hoover, he nevertheless balked some time before the convention when C. L. Sheldon, prominent Mississippi Republican, sought to establish a "illy white" party. Mr. Sheldon, a great admirer of Secretary Hoover, received so much encouragement from him that Howard began to make threats that unless Sheldon was called off he would throw his support to Lowden. For Hoover at Kansas City The Mississippi courts ruled against Shellden and Howard seemed to have everything his own way. The Hoover people gave him $4,000, he testified before the Senate committee investigating presiding campaign, but apparently did not think he had treated right because he added that he did not know whether he would be able to keep his organization in line for Mr. Hoover or not. It was no secret at Kansas City that the Hoover people considered he had been given enough, but nevertheless Howard went in for a final consultation in what was called the "contact" room, and when he came out the Hoover people had him issue a definite statement that "Mississippi was for Hoover." So it was, too. Eut upon the heels of the conven- tion, he fell. He was wounded, and 30, active. Hoover lieutenant, went down to Mississippi and had Howard indicted. The charges against him are not new, it is pointed out. They have been circulated and aired over the past several years. More than a year ago the Department of Justice's attention was called to them. Postmaster General New once investigated the case, and a national till of health, as did a congressional investigating committee. PERRY W. HOWARD'S PLEA OF INNOCENCE. Davis Lost Georgia Control Davis' removal was almost lost sight of in the rush at Kansas City and so far as known nothing was published about it at the time. The anties of the Georgia delegation controlled by Davis was one of the light spots of City gathering. In order to keep the Negroes away from the conflicting elements there they were locked up in a room and when finally released were instructed that regardless of what they were asked in the convention to just say "Hoover". As a result one day when one of them sought recognition due to some commotion in the delegation and Senator Moses, the chairman, asked: "For what purpose I have no idea what the charge is. Whatever it is, I know that that it is the back-fire from the current of a righteous cause, and this cause will go on, whether I am temporarily incarcerated or not. I am guilty of no wrong doing, directly or indirectly. RICHMOND NEGRO EDITOR AS SAILS FEDERAL GRAND JURY GRAFT PROBE My ''lily-white'' adversaries have enlisted the aid of powerful influence, material, political and otherwise, and I am not surprised at what happened. For seven years, I have been the most hounded and investigated man in the United States. (Richmond Times-Dispatch, July 22) That the indictment of Perry W. Howard, Negro Republican leader of Mississippi by a Federal grand jury is an effort to supplant him politically is asserted by John Mitchell, Jr., editor, in the current issue of The Richmond Planet. No man in the Nation has done more than I to prevent anything that ever smacked of the purchase and sale of public offices. I required of applicants for offices in the State of xMississippi affidavits declaring that the applicant had given or promised to give no consideration of any kind for the office. The editor wrote that "the blow is not only one aimed at competent Negro leadership, but at the 'old line' white Republicans, who have always affiliated with colored men of the Perry W. Howard type. They were on the fight on Walter L. Cohen, of Louisiana. The indictments were dispassioned. This was at the inception of my administration and prior to the enactment of the statute requiring the filing of affidavits to that effect with the Comptroller General. I appeared before the House Judiciary Committee as the records of that Committee will show, and urged the enactment of a law requiring all appointees to make an affidavit stating that they had not given or promised to give any consideration for their appointment. Howard is "a high-tone Christian gentleman," in the opinion of Editor Mitchell, who commented: "If the Republicans care to risk the loss of votes in that section of the country where there is a prospect of carrying a State for the national ticket in order to pander to Negro-hating animosities in a State where the electoral vote is already for Al Smith, before a vote has been cast into the ballot boxes of the nation then let you had better call off the hounds, them proceed to do it. Gentlemen, today not tomorrow or the next day. I repeat that I have done no wrong. I have been merely accused as the result of an exparte hearing. No one in public life is safe from accusations by his political enemies, and all fair-minded Americans will throw around me the presumption of innocence until I have been proven guilty. I have no fear of the outcome of a trial in Mississippi. In an editorial on "The Smith Campaign" it is asserted that "The test of Democracy is an oath of allegiance to Al Smith, of New York, and his pronounced policy to modify the eighteenth amendment. . ." A grand jury indicted Perry W. Howard and associates, and postponed trial until Nov. 5, 1928, nearly four months from date of indictment and during the entire time of the campaign for the Presidency, in which campaign Howard and his associates are virtually interested. That Democrats are going over to replace Republicans who drifted over with John J. Raskob to Al's banner also is asserted in the editorial which concludes with the water proof conclusion that: "When the height of an audience is shown, show an overwhelming majority for either Hon. Herbert Hoover, of California, on Hon. Alfred E. Smith, of New York." Such delays are positively prohibited by the Constitution of the United States, Article VI: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and District wherein the crime shall have been committed, which District shall have been previously ascertained by law and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. DR. F. W. WULLIAMS AT THE EBENZEHORCH CHURCH AUGUST 5 There will be a special service at Ebenezer Baptist Church, corner Judah and Leigh Streets, Sunday August 5th at 5:00 P. M. under the auspices of the Church Ald Society and the Negro Baptist Old Folks Home, Rev. F. W. Williams, pastor of Fourth Baptist Church will deliver the address, subject: "The Duty of the Citizen to His Church". Dr. W. H. Stokes pastor; Robert Thurston; clerk; J. S. Peters and George L. Branch, committee. What will the Ten Million Colored People, with their lone Representative on the Republican National Committee do about it? The great Republican National Convention confirmed his title to his seat and recognized him as entitled to sit with representatives from other States. The funeral of Marie Milburn, wife of Frederic Milburn took place last Sunday, at 1 P. M., at the First Baptist Church, Pew. Dr. W. T. Johnson officiating. She had been a sufferer for a long time and all efforts to check the disease were fruitless. Funeral Directors William Isaac Johnson had change of the remains, general designs were numerous and costly. Upon the demand of that anti-Negro "Carpet-bagger" George L. Sheldon, ex-Governor of Nebraska, is Howard to be sacrificed in the Courts and crucified in the Republican Party? Let the Colored People and their organizations give the answer now, so that its reverberations may be heard Nov. 6, 1928 from the Atlantic to the Pacific; from Canada to the Gulf.

"The Silent Life of Christ", by the pastor. You are privileged to ask questions. Bring along your Bible. I am a martyr to the cause I represent—Negro Leadership. Persecution is the price of martyrdom. Prison walls to martyrs are like palaces to the nobility. I am perfectly willing to be offered up and pay the price of martyrdom. A cause is certainly far greater than the individual. I have been pursued politically and in the civil courts, and now my political enemies seek to have me crucified in the criminal courts. The Richmond Baptist S. S. Union will convene tomorrow at 3:30 P. M., at the Union Baptist Church, South Richmond. Rev. Garland, Pastor. Mr. E. Spurlock, Superintendent. Mr. G. T. Walker, President of Union. C. B. Jefferson, Corresponding Secretary. rev. S. L. Bush, B. D., Pastor, rev. C. B. Jefferson, Asst. Mr. S. S. Baken who has been confined to his residence for two weeks is out again. His son, Mr. W. S. Baker, of Philadelphia, was in the city this week, visiting him. When you are looking for service, you have only to poke your head in the front door of Funeral Director, A. D. Price's headquarters and you will find it there. Embalmer and mortician H. L. Minor, has made some unique renovating changes at his headquarters on Fifth Street, 507. He has now a reception room, private office and a mortuary chapel, where the best that Funeral Director C. S. Cunningham has available is ready for immediate service. You may want to go now and you may want to stay in this world. You will find no better way to stay than to see L. J. Hayden and purchase a bottle of his many sure cure remedies. If you are in need of jewelry, you will find his place an "up-to-date" establishment. He is reliable and will surely give you satisfaction. William B. Smith is at 18 E. Clay St, and people who want a smooth, clean shave and a nice, attractive looking haircut know the kind of service he renders. Bobbing hair is a fad now and he has graduated in this kind of business, while anxious parents who want their young ones to look well are delighted when they come from his tonsorial apartment. Levi Montague will transport passengers desiring to go to Oak Grove Baptist Church, King William Co., Sunday morning. Trucks leave 27th and N and Brook Avenut and Leigh at 11 A. M. The Shepherd's Twilight to Bay Shore, Aug. 25. Come and go with us. Where? Bay Shore on the Shepherd's Twilight August 25th. There is such a popular demand for the second Shepherd's Excursion to Bay Shore that we have been forced to run a Twilight on the 25th of August. In every section of the city you can hear discussions of this Excursion to Bay Shore. This is going to be a rare treat for the Richmond Public. After spending a tiresome week in the congested city one will feel like a bird out of a cage to take a trip of this nature. Think of it. You will be able to spend six hours at this do the train will leave in this trip. The train will leave 16th and Broad Streets Saturday August 25, at 2:30 P. M. The Annual Excursion to Bay Shore on the 17th was a huge success in every respect. It is exceedingly interesting to note the growth of this movement annually. In spite of the hard time we were able to add two coaches to, last year's record. (Continued on Page 3.1) PRICE, FIVE CENTS. RT! Arrested. HAROLD TAYLOR GETS FOUR YEARS Harold Taylor, 23 years of age, who was suspected of attempting to pull a ten year old white child in an alley in South Richmond, at 12th and Decatur St., was tried in the Hustings Court, Part II, last Tuesday and given four years in the Virginia penitentiary. He was ably defended by his counsel. A motion to set aside the verdict as being contrary to law and evidence is to be accepted. He was being character witnesses, but some of this testimony was uset by the officers. There is some doubt, however, as to his guilt. Gilbert Christian's case was before Judge A. Taylor Pitt, at the Henrico County Court House in this city last Tuesday, and upon a charge of manslaughter, he was sent on to the Grand Jury of the Henrico Circuit Court. He is said to have operated the car, which was overturned, when he was shot. He was colored man was killed and two others seriously injured. A RADIO TAXI Chauffeur Charles Robinson at Second and Leigh Streets is operating here, what is known as a radio taxi. Patrons sit in this car either in the city or on the roads out of it and hear all of the latest renditions. He has succeeded in doing this by having about 100 feet of wire looped on the ceiling of his limousine. He has the radiola in the rear just back of the front seats, while the loud speaker is just above the chauffeur fastened in the ceiling overhead. Hearing the tunes coming from the car was a puzzle and the strange arrangement was explained. Robinson rigged up the radio set according to his own notions and it works. OPENING OF Y. W. C. A. CAMP Camp Wohelo will be opened by the Health Education department of the Y. W. C.

SATURDAY.....JULY 28, 1928 ..Insulting colored folks not only injure themselves, but others of their kith and kind. Women are all right. It is the men who are all wrong. If you do not believe it, ask the women. Teach your children politeness and practice it yourself and it will yield a rich return. Colored folks are not doing much talking, but they are engaged in a powerful lot of thinking these days. Pay your subscription promptly and you can look both your neighbor and your editor in the face with a clear conscience. Gen. Obregon, Mexico's President elect was assassinated recently and the country is in something of an uproar over his successor. Killing is a common past-time in that unfortunate country. Some people think that they can get along better by doing wrong than they can by doing right. They will find out their mistake at the grave, if their eyes do not become open before that time. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt has suspended operations looking after "bootleggers" in the North, East and West and is now engaged in "gunning" for progressive Negroes in the South. It will not be long before she will find out to her sorrow that she was never trained for that kind of business. When some people want to 'empty' themselves with evident satisfaction, they proceed to attack the preachers as a body, instead of the erring ones as individuals. This brings to the support of the erring ones the upright ones, who have been unjustly linked up in these broadside condemnations. The vision of a divided South has haunted the dreams of Republican politicians for more than two decades. It is solid yet, although some of the body politic is doing a "powerful" lot of "kicking," but it does not last through election day as a rule. Staying away from the polls may give some satisfaction, but it does not prove effective when the vote is counted. Both of the major political party managers seem to be having a hard time getting started in this campaign work. The Republicans seem to be sure that they can make progress by starting to work getting the Negroes of the country disgruntled with the hope that the number, who go across the line to the Democrats will be more than trebled by the Democrats who will cross the line to the Republicans. Go ahead line to the Republicans. Go ahead with the experiment. Nov. 6 will tell for a certainty, just who made the mistake which in common parlance may be called a blunder. Be polite and obliquing to white folks and the same way to each other, colored folks. You can win this way, even when you cannot succeed any other way. THAT PLEA OF INNOCENCE. "The more you mow us down, the more thickly we grow; the blood of Christians is fresh seed."—Tertullian It has been a common saying among white southerners that whenever northerners attempt to deal with the Negro question in the Southland, they almost invariably make a mess of it. This seems to have been verified in the case of Hon. George L. Sholden, former Governor of Nebraska, who seems to have tired of residing within the State, which had rewarded him with high office. He preferred to occupy the southern designation of "carpet-bagger" and he moved into Perry W. Howard's State of Mississippi to make trouble for him and the rest of the able colored men of that far Southern State. As a rule, with the exception or the "poor whites", thousands of southerners, who are against the Negroes are against the other fellow's Negroes and he is 'gloriously' in favor of his own Negroes, those who possess family ties coming down the line from slavery, many of whom now trace their lineage to the blackrammes of other days and to the "big house" Negroes, who were butlers, hostlers valves and the like. This class of southerners have a bitter and pathy 50 Negroes from the North. They dislike that nasal twang and they despise everything pertaining to this class of the "brothers in black" who aspire to civil rights and social privileges. The Hon. George L. Sheldon evidently did not know this when he went up against that Negro Mississippiian, who hailed from the State of Hon. John Sharp Williams and whose appointment as Special Assistant Attorney General of the United States was appreciated by Perry W. Howard's white colleagues, who often proudly mentioned him as a living example of what the much abused State had done for this class and type of Negroes, who knew how to appreciate Southern rules and customs and to accord credit to the liberal-minded white elements in this section of the country, who had made such an achievement possible. As a result when the " carpet-bagger" Hon. George L. Sheldon went up against Perry W. Howard and his southern white Republican friends in the Courts of Mississippi. Howard and his friends won out. This was later confirmed by the Republican National Committee and later still by the Committee on Credentials and finally by the Republican National Convention itself. This would logically have ended the controversy. But Sheldon was not satisfied. He had whispered into the ear of the distinguished Californian, Hon. Herbert Hoover and he in turn left the matter to one of his managers, it being understood that Sheldon was "a friend of the family." Perry W. Howard was chosen upon the roster of the Republican National Committee. This gave him control of the campaign in Mississippi. People from this State, both white and black, know how to fight and Howard was no exception. Ex-Governor Sheldon, not being able to win by fair means proceeded to appeal to the court of unfair means. The blow was aimed, so to speak, "below the belt". A harsh decision was not wanted, despite the positive command of Article VI of the Constitution of the United States. Another "carpet bagger" for a few days was imported in the person of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt Assistant Attorney General of the United States. She assisted in having Perry W. Howard indicted for conspiracy; set the hearing for November 5, 1928 when she and Sheldon knew that the election was Tuesday. November 6, 1928. In the meantime an order was secured from Attorney General Sargent suspending Perry W. Howard from office and p.y. pending this hearing, presuming him guilty until he proves himself innocent, thus upsetting a fundamental principle of criminal law, which is as old as English jurisprudence itself. In the meantime, the Chairman of is in the embarrassing predicament the Republican National Committee of trying not to deal with the official Republican National Committeeman from Mississippi, and who occupies that position until he has been found guilty of crime before a vacancy can exist in the office held by him. In the meantime, Perry W. Howard announces to the world to use his exact language: "I have done no wrong. I have been merely accused as a result of an expire hearing. No one in public life is safe from accusations by his political enemies and all mindful Americans will throw around me the presumption of innocence until I have been proven guilty. I have no fear of the outcome of a trial in Mississippi." We agree with him. It is an issue between a black native Mississippiian and a "carpet-bagger" Nebraskan. In such a contest. Justice will be enchanted and a proper judgment be reached in short order. We would suggest that Hon. George L. Sheldon of Nebraska go on back home THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA and permit the black and white Mississippiians to get along in peace and harmony together. This indictment business might well be considered in the nature of a joke were it not for the serious consequences to follow Perry W. Howard's persecution. Powerful Negro organizations throughout the country should resent it. More than ten million Negroes have this lone honest, able Negro leader to represent them on the Republican National Committee and they will see it at the ballot boxes in the States of the North and West that the blow aimed at them from this source shall be resented at the polls. Whecher it will result in landing the "vote getting" Hon. Alfred E. Smith of New York or the able starical Hon. Herbert Hoover of California in the White House of the Nation will be an after consid eration. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrand may be line on a whiskey scene in the tracing of bootleggers, but she has shown absolutely no bloodhound ability in the trailing of Southern Negroes. She is wholly unable to tell the difference between an innocent Negro and a guilty one. We would suggest that Attorney General Sargent call her off and send her to the Canadian border or to the Florida shore line, where she may be able to tell the difference between a whiskey shark and a prohibition blue fish. Selah. "Every step of progress the world has made has been from scaffold to scaffold, and from stake to stake. It would hardly be exaggeration to say, that all the great truths relating to society and government have been first heard in the solemn protests of martyred patriotism, or the loud cries of crushed and starving labor."—Wendell Phipps. We read with much interest the account of the indictment of Hon. Perry W. Howard, the Republican leader of Mississippi by a grand jury in that State upon a charge of conspiracy. We do not presume that there is a criminal lawyer of standing in this country, who does not know that a charge of conspiracy is one of the most difficult allegations to prove and for that reason is seldom appealed to save for the purpose of affecting some other issues in a pending criminal case. It is not alleged that Howard took the money, but by the use of this dragnet, so to speak, the effort is made to supplant him in the political campaign now pending and to place in charge the "Lilly-white element", which was defeated at the Republican National Convention at Kansas City. The blow is not only one aimed at competent Negro leadership, but at the "oldline" white Republicans, who have always affiliated with colored men of the Perry W. Howard type. Similar tactics were resorted to in the fight on Walter L. Cohen of Louisiana. The indictments were dismissed. The gratifying part of the whole business is that Perry W. Howard is capable of taking care of himself. He is a high-toned, Christian gentleman. This kind of attacks can have but one effect. A reaction will be observable among the Southern voting blacks, who have gone into the Northern States and can with telling effect give the Republican leaders, who tolerate this kind of thing. "It. Roland for their Oliver". It is to be hoped that they will voice a protest. If the Republicans care to risk the loss of votes, in that section of the country, where there is a prospect of carrying a State for the national ticket in order to pander to Negrohating animosity in a State, where the electoral vote is already for "Al" Smith, before a vote has been cast into the ballot boxes of the nation, then let them proceed to do it. Gentlemen, you had better call off your hounds, today; not tomorrow or the next day. You had better call them off, today. Tomorrow or the next day may be too late. "A hint to the wise is sufficient." You had better call them off, today. Colored people should stand squarely behind Ferry W. Howard. He is the center figure, so far as colored people in this country are concerned, today. He is the only political leader that emerged from the Republican National Convention unscathed, unafraid and with the political power of a State within his grasp. They side-tracked Walter L. Cohen, the great Louisiana leader. They "black tacked" the uncompromising Ben Davis of Georgia. They threw out "Goose neck Bill" McDonald of Texas and now they are assassinating Perry W. Howard of Mississippi after he had won in the struggle. Gentlemen, this kind of business will not do. You must face an ectorate of colored folks, both in the North and in the South, but most particularly in the North. What are you going to do about it? "Al" YOU ARE WELCOME. --- Smith is slated for a political beating, but, "There is many a slip swivt the cup and the lip". THREE PATRONAGE CASES ARE ORDERED TRANSFERRED Biloxi, Miss, July 17.—As a slow, but steady parade of witnesses passed through the Federal grand jury room here to add to the accumulation of evidence relating to alleged trafficking in patronage by State Republican leaders, interest shifted from what was happening behind the closed doors of the jury chamber to open court where six of the seven persons thus far indicted and arrested were arraigned for pleas. His arrangement was accepted by Sidney E. Redmond, Negro attorney, of Jackson, as an occasion for a broadside at his political enemies whom he charged with bringing about the indictment of himself, his brother, A. M. Redmond, Scott Hubbard, deputy United States marshal, and Ed. L. Patton, Negro Republican leader. The four, with Perry W. Howard, Negro national committeeman and special Assistant Attorney General, are charged with obtaining $1,500 for the appointment of A. P. Russell to the Southern district marshal's force last year. Redmond succeeded in obtaining an order from Judge Holmes transferring cases against himself, his brother and Patton from this to the Jackson district for trial at the November term of court. The Redmond brothers will not be arraigned until their case is transferred to Jackson, their appearance in court today being taken up entirely with the motion for a change of venue. Hubbard, in entering a plea of not guilty, raised no objection to trial here. J. C. Tannehill, former marshal Summerall, and William A. Miller, post-master at Wiggins, indicted jointly with Patton in connection with the appointment of Miller, also pleaded not guilty. The indictment against them charged violation of the statute prohibiting purchase or sale of Fereal office. "Testimony was obtained by the grand jury through threats of coercion and proimmed immunity", Redmond charged. The Negrog declared J. C. Tyler, former United States marshal here, whom he termed "one of the conspirators" against him, was in the jury room at the self and his defended against himself and his co-defender the drawn. He also defended the presence of Mrs. Mabe Walker Willebrandt, Assistant United States Attorney General, who assisted the jury at the opening of its investigation, was irregular.

(Concluded from page 1) does the gentleman arise," the reply came unmistakably from the rear of the hall: "Hoovah." But it is not known that any trouble was had with Davis. He was "loyal" throughout. Yet the explanation now is that after the convention "his delegation met and replaced him." Louisiana Goes to Kuntz Cohen was on the wrong side from the beginning of the fight. He has held sway in New Orleans for a long time, although Emile Kuntz, a white man, was and is the national committeeman, up until the Kansas City convention, was in that capacity only at the pleasure of Cohen. He the Hoover side early in the campaign, splitting with Cohen, and he won at Kansas City, Cohen getting nothing but a district delegate's seat out of it. With his passing and that of Howard and Davis, there are no more Negro Republican leaders in the South, at least not recognized by the Hoover machine as such. Howard Issues Statement It would be strange, indeed, if out of this campaign, the South would be found with Hoover because of the race issue and not against him for that reason, but admittedly this is to be a year of a great experiment. Howard appeared yesterday before United States Commissioner Turnage and gave bond of $2,500 for his appearance in Jackson, Miss., November 5. He issued this statement: "The only information I have with reference to my indictment is what I have in the daily press. "I am a martyr to the cause I represent—negro leadership, Persecution is the price of martyrdom. Prison walls to martyrys are like palaces to the nobility. I am perfectly willing to be offered up and pay the price of martyrdom. A cause is certainly far greater than the individual. I have been pursued politically and in the civil courts, and now my political enemies seek to have me crucified in the criminal courts. "I have no idea what the charge is. Whatever, it is, I know that it is the back-fire from the current of a righteous cause, and this cause will cause me not. I am temporarily incarcerated not, am guilty of no wrongdoing, directly or indirectly. "Conclusion As to Culture. "My 'lily white' adversaries have utilized the aid of powerful influence, material, political and otherwise, and I am not surprised at what has happened. For seven years I have been the most hounded and investigated man in the United States. "No man in the Nation has done more than I to prevent anything than even smacked of the purchase and sale of public offices. I require of applicants for office in the State of Mississippi affidavits declaring that the applicant had given or promised to give no consideration of any kind for the office. This was at the inception of my administration and prior to the enactment of the statutes requiring the filing of affidavits to that office. With the Comptroller General, I appointed before the House judiciary the record of that committee will show, and urge the enactment of a law requiring all applicants to make an affidavit statement that they had not given or promised to give any consideration for their appointment. "I repeat that I have done no wrong. I have been merely accused as the result of an ex parte hearing. No one in public life is safe from accusations by his political enemies, and all fairminded Americans will throw around me the presumption of innocence until I have been proven guilty.

HIRKEL HINDHEDE There is a tapestry of romance in the story of how many of the commonplace food products originated. Many foods used daily in millions of American kitchens were born in the stress of wars involving the fate of empires. Beet sugar, for instance, was first made commercially possible by Napoleon in his efforts to break the English naval blockade strangling France. Condensed milk was first fed to the Union soldiers in the Civil War. Soya beans and bean oil became standard commodities in the Russian Japanese war when the soldiers of the Mikado learned of their nutritive qualities. One of the most romantic food tales concerns the discovery and discovery war. Napoleon I in his disastrous war in Prussia was responsible for the discovery of this product now common in millions of households. The siege of Paris by the Prussian hosts in 1870 threatened famine to the city. Cattle which the French army had conscripted from the neighboring countryside were being This Is Your Last Chance. The Negro in the World War A detailed description may be found in another column. Here is the coupon: slaughtered and the life giving fats rapidly destroyed. In desperation the Emperor, whom a wagish historian described as "neither the son of his father, nor the father of his son," offered a prize to anyone who would transform the finer fats into a lasting palatable food product. So Hippolyte Mégeurie, a French chemist, began experimenting in the laboratory near the Saxon While the German guns sounded on the walls of Paris he solved a formula for fattening mature sources of producing milk by consuming best fats, milk and vegetable oils. The result was a food of great palatability which its originator called "margarine." The French scientists' discovery failed to save Paris and the Second Empire, but it did result in the establishment of a world-wide industry because of the heartiness and economy of the new product. The Prussians carried the formula for making margarine back to Germany where it was passed to England, Germany, and the Netherlands.

C., secretary of the Institute of Margarine Manufacturers, "production increased to 255,009,691 pounds in 1927, or enough to give every man woman, and child in the country 2.5 pounds above. Today there are sixy-three margarine varieties in which millions of dollars are invested. The industry gives employment to thousands" American workers. The labor and income involves in the preparation of the product, in the production of the ingredients and in the handling, transportation and sale of the product represent a business of about every year. --- M "Farmers who produce the ingredients used in margarine derive a valuable income annually from the industry. From the livestock raiser's point of view, increased consumption of margarine in American homes means additional revenue, since the fine animal fats and oils are worth more when used in making margarine than for any other purpose. Margarine is preeminently an American farm product. "More than 73,699,961 pounds of milk from American dairy farms 23,372,854 pounds of cottonseed oil 48,149,001 pounds of beet oil 23,871,904 pounds of corn oil 20,704,004 pounds of butter 5,144,542 pounds of stearine. 2,551,626 pounds of oleo stock, and 108,653,833 pounds of coconut oil were used in the manufacture of margarine in 1927." Detritus point out that all of their ingredients of margarine are we known articles of food which the average American eats in one or another every day. Milk forms a ```markdown ``` large part of the composition of margarine for the reason that it contains nearly all the food elements necessary for the growth of infants and children. Fats can be more easily distributed in milk than in anything else. Milk, too, gives margarine much of its flavor. Scientists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture declare that the flavor of butter is not due to the butter fats, but to the flavoring substances formed in the ripening or souring of the milk or cream from which it is made. These identical substances give the flavor to margarine which even connonsus is difficult to detect from butter. No other product the housewife uses made under more sanitary conditions. In addition to each margarine maker's careful methods of manufacture, especially employed government inspectors pass on the quality of the product made. While the prejudices of a decade ago against margarine in this country are rapidly disappearing, America trails far behind Europe in the consumption of the product. Margarine has developed such popularity that Continent that leads dairying countries butter is used as a substitute for margarine. The average Dane吃 45% 45% pounds of margarine annually, the Norwegian 33%, the Hollander 15-2, the German 12%, and the Englishman 11% pounds. Per capita consumption in the United States is a little over two pounds yearly. In Denmark which is one of the great dairying countries of Europe, practically all the farmers export their butter to England and serve margarine on the farm according to the kindhede of Denmark internationally famous nutrition expert now lecturing in Denmark. "The people of Denmark eat about a half as much butter as Americans and nearly twenty times as much margarine," said Dr. Hindhede "and the Danes are celebrities for their health and sturgeon." The death rate in Denmark from tuberculosis, various forms of kidney disease, and other allurea due primarily to improve die is about 30 per cent less than the death rate from similar causes in the United States. ```markdown ``` AGE MUMMIES GREATEST MAGNET ROCKEFELLER SEES KINDNESS WAR DOES NOT PAY Mammoths, extinct thousands of years, have been found preserved, skin, hair, flesh, in Northern ice. Hoping that men of the Stone Age might be similarly preserved, an expedition was sent to look. On an island, far North in cold Alaska, scientists discovered at the top of an almost inaccessible cliff the grave of an ancient Stone Age chief. His coffin was lined with well cured skins of the sea otter. His shirt was of bird skins, his clothing made of the finest furs. A favorite child, a seamstress to sew for him, a sentient and hunter to get game for him, had been killed and buried with him to accompany him on his death journey. This unmanned family from the St. Lawrence island led genetical scientists. It interests us all, illustrating the unconquerable belief in a future life so deeply planted in the hu- Why was the belief put there if he be disappointed? The French Government builds a gigantic magnet several thousand times as powerful as any built thus far. It will be used in scientific experiments in connection with the molecular and atomic construction of matter, etc. The magnet eventually will be of great use in industry. Here the steel companies use magnets picking up tons of steel rails and loading them on cars, dropping them down, lifting them up, as a boy lifts tacks with his toy magnet.

Rockefeller, beginning his nineteenth year, said: "I never bore, and I am amused at the High Heels Have Come More and More Into Vogue; Spike Heels Are Seen Everywhere. In This Article Dr. Wm. M. Scholl, Famous Foot Hygienist, Describes the Effects of Exaggerated Heights of Heel. P. WM. M. SCHOLL. M. D. I am not opposed to a reasonable height of heel in women's shoes. Sometimes it is desirable. Starting out with flat or low heeled shoes the average child proceeds through "lifts," wedges, and springs so that the foot is gradually "educated" for higher heels. The muscles of the calf contract and thus, even with high heeled shoes, are able to maintain the tension required to balance the body. But the adoption of very high heels forces a change of posture. In order to maintain her balance a woman flexes her knees forward and bends the upper part of the body backward. This results, of course, in a change of the curvature of the spinal column. It may contribute to pelvic disorders. The strain of constant bending of the knees forward fatigues the extensor muscles of the knees, and may cause cramps in the back part of the thigh. Through the high heel the leverage of the heel bone, or calfs, on the joints above is greatly increased. The action is similar to that which suits by lengthening the arm of a sweater of a sudden twist of the foot to one side or the other is greatly increased. Sprains and strains of the ankle are more liable to occur when wearing very high heels. The heels, moreover, should be large enough to form a secure foundation for the body's weight. The upper surface of the heel of the shoe on the foot rests, should hop steeply from back to front, assisting the foot to push forward into the toe of the shoe. The high heel shifts additional weight toward the forepart of the foot where nature has provided small and delicate bones to facilitate the elastic and spring motions of the normal foot. This delicate structure is not adapted to the increased weight and strain, nor to its enforced change of position which crushes weight on the metatarsal heads, at their junction with the phalanges or bones of the toes. Injury is augmented when shoes are too short and narrow-toed. Generally speaking, high heeled slippers, when open above the insteed, afford greater relief to the cramped foot. The increased pressure upon the forepart of the foot strains the deltate tendons which assist in man- $\textcircled{1}$ $\textcircled{2}$ $\textcircled{3}$ 1-Exaggerated heights of heel result in increased strains or sprains when foot "gives" sideways. 2-A Grecian woman stands upright on tiptoe with muscles at tension but a modern woman, right, who suddenly adopts extreme high heels stands with calf muscles relaxed to maintain her balances. 3-Showing foot in shoe with high heels (received to about one-third). 4-Showing surgical plate or arch support in place. 1-Exaggerated heights of heel result in increased strains or sprains when foot "gives" sideways. 2-A Grecian woman stands upright on tiptoe with muscles at tension but a modern woman, right, who suddenly adopts extreme high heels stands with calf muscles relaxed to maintain her balances. 3-Showing foot in shoe with high heels (received to about one-third). 4-Showing surgical plate or arch support in place. kindness of people generally." Eighty years ago, from his father's cottage doorway, in the Catskill foothills, he watched his uncle drive off, to trade horses—and saw him come back with better horses. Now his ships go out to every harbor of the world, his scientists are fighting disease in every part of the earth. And looking at his right hand, now wrinkled, he knows it has made gifts to education and human progress totaling hundreds of millions. A good deal in one life time. Thomas W. Lamont, partner of J. P. Morgan, and an able citizen, tells business men they can be a distinct factor in preventing future wars. They can and will be, for they have discovered that war, in the past often promoted by business, DOES NOT PAY. Another big war would mean not merely sixty per cent income tax, but confiscation of principal, on a gigantic scale. Young men would not again consent to have their bodies sent to war, unless the rich man's dollars also went. Wise business men will oppose war and demand preparation for it.

Limit of Altitude for Man Set by Capt. Gray, Science Suggests: Oxygen Wasteage Is Earlier Widely Mourned Captain Emilio Carranza, Mexican flyer, who was killed when his plane crashed near Burlington, N. J.

Is the record of 42,470 feet above sea level, twice reached by Capt Hawthorne C. Gray, who died during his last flight to that altitude, the ultimate to which can may soar in his exploration of the heavens? These questions are being given serious consideration by government scientists as a result of the peculiar "coincidence" in Capt. Gray's last two flights, on each of which his barographs registered identical the same height. This identical reading was considered so strange as to cause a careful reheating of the barograph record. But the result remained the same—that the barographs could reach eight miles above the earth! Two theories are advanced in support of the suggestion that the ultimate "ceiling" was reached by Capt. Gray. The first, based on the identical height of his flights of May 4 and Nov 1, is that the lifting power of hydrogen is shattered that it flies. Some Baby!

This, however, is not generally accepted as likely, since there are records of unmanned capillary balloons ascending greater distances. The second theory, regarded as much more plausible, has to do with the ability of man to survive at higher altitudes. The official finding, with respect to Capt. Gray's death states that death was due to "lack of oxygen in the tissues." This despite the fact that Capt. Gray had been breathing pure oxygen after having passed the 40-000-foot level, he had not fitted by A.

As a consequence, even though inhaling pure oxygen at the maximum height, he lasped into unconsciousness and died before reaching earth. On the previous flight he had not The explanation advanced for this condition is that above 40,000 feet the wasteage of oxygen through the tissues, because of decreased atmospheric pressure, becomes so rapid that enough of it to sustain life cannot be taken through the lungs, even though pure oxygen is being inhaled. That Capt. Gray reached this height on his flight of May 4, 1927, and returned to earth alive, while losing his life on a flight to the same height on Nov. 4, is explained by his having remained for a longer period above 40,000 feet on the last flight. Capt. Gray, the examining board found, had retarded the rate of his ascent on the last flight, in o der that he might make extensive radio observations.

During this period of slow ascent, it is held, wasteage of oxygen through the tissues was continuous. As a consequence, even though imburing pure oxygen at the maximum height, he lasped into unconsciousness and died before reaching earth. On the previous flight he had not only gone up more quickly but returned to earth by taking to the parachute. Because of the shorter stay at the high altitude, the cumulative effect of oxygen wasteage had not time to get in its fatal work. The record of 42,470 feet set by Capt. Gray is 3,678 feet or more than two-thirds of a mile—higher than the airplane record recently set by the Italian, Renato Donati. Donati climbed for 40 minutes and descended in 36. The reading of Capt. Gray's log and barograph shows he climbed for more than one hour and remained for more than 15 minutes at the 42,000-foot level.

Hoover interests were said by Prio- leau to be determined to put all col- ored leaders out of the Republican party, “and those it can’t put out”, he said, “they will try to put in jail”.

Howard, of Mississippi, Negro national commit- teeman under indictment at the in- stance of Mrs. Mabel Walker Wille- brandt, of the Department of Justice, as the last of the old guard to suffer under the “lily white” policy of Hoov- er Republicanism, Prioleau called at- tention to Mrs. Willebrandt’s stay in Mississippi, of 48 hours to prosecute “the most loyal of Negro Republican adherents.” He called on the members of the elub to support Smith as a genuine Democrat rather than to support a candidate whose political complexion was uncertain, but largely determined by the same policy which guided Eng- land in her support of the South dur- ing the Civil War. He called on col- ored voters everywhere to check the Hoover movement designed to set the Negro back politically more than half a century.
