THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VIRGINIA SEP 1 1928 STATE LIBRARY ANOTHER SHOTGUN SHOOTING VOLUME XLV, NO. 43 ANOTHER SHOT SHOC A Bootlegers Parties So The case of Earle Bailey, charged with feloniously shooting Leroy Cokes with the intent to malm, disfigure and kill was called in the Police Court, before Judge John L. Ingram, Tuesday, August 28, 1928. As an exhibit there was in court a double-barreled shotgun. The evidence adduced showed that Leroy found out that Bailey had sent Lewis Johnson to him to buy whiskey. Two officers had been notified of the intended purchase. Leroy became suspicious and did not deliver the whiskey. He saw the officers. It was decided to beat up Earle Bailey. The latter got away, ran into the house and opened fire on Leroy from an upper window. Some of the shot struck Leroy in the head without serious injury. Judge Ingram wanted to know if the parties were all bootleggers. Upon being informed by the officers that they were, he fined each of the three men $10.00 and placed them under a bond of $500.00. All went back to the pen somewhat crescented. FOUND HIS VOICE An interesting case was before Judge John L. Ingram in the Police court one day last week. The matter related to the purchase of hay, for which crime the original culprit was serving time in the Virginia penitentiary. The complainant alleged that the men purchasing the hay knew the same to be stolen. His Honor could not see it that way and dismissed the charges on account of lack of evidence. The complainant named witnesses who he said would supply the evidence. Judge Ingram, as a rule talks in a low tone, rarely being heard six feet away. He called upon the white complainant to produce the witnesses. He could not do so and he demonstrated and forced the complainant to admit under questioning that the testimony was hearsay. By this time Judge Ingram's ringing voice, which is seldom heard, penetrated all parts of the court room. He showed that he was familiar with every phase of the case and that he knew the nature of the testimony of all of the witnesses. "All of these men charged with the offense may be guilty, but I must have evidence on which to convict them. The case is dismissed." Clerk Ben. Tucker is an expert on calling the Police Court docket. He does not raise or extend his voice in so doing. He has no need so to do, for he has Balliff "Pop" Tate with his stentorian voice to repeat every word that he says. He is in the radio language Clerk Tucker's amplifier and his voice reverberates in the corridors on the outside of the Police Court room.

SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY GOES NORTH-WARD That Superior Three-in-one Contract. Virginians, and Richmonders in particular, will be pleased to learn that the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc. has extended its operation into Northern territory, thus reversing the current that has flowed so long in the other direction. Last January the officers of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia Inc. announced that the Paid Up Capital of the Company would be increased from $100,000.00 to $150,000.00 in order to meet the requirements to do business in other States. This having been done, application was made to the Department of Banking and Insurance of the State of New Jersey for license to conduct its business in that State. After careful consideration of the standing and methods of this Company, the Department found that it had met fully all requirements for doing business in that State, which are: $150,000.00 Paid Up Capital, $75,000.00 Surplus, a Legal Reserve to protect policies in force and a deposit of $10,000.00 in acceptable Bonds, and granted the Company license to be effective from August 17, 1928. The Southern Aid Society, like a good umbrella, was born (incorporated) at Richmond, Virginia, February 10, 1893, but has been raised and has sheltered thousands in many States, and will now be enabled to offer its superior and unique in insurance service to many thousands in the hour of distress brought on by disability or death. This Company has paid $5,000,000.00 in claims to policy-holders or their beneficiaries and claimants, has given employment to hundreds of young men and women, has loyally supported race banks and other enterprises, has made it possible for race physicians to have prompt paying patients, and has also made it possible for the humblest home to be independent of charity and waht during periods of illness and the blight of death. With such a record over its 35 years of operation in its Home State it now ventures abroad to render service to a much larger group, and to demonstrate to the world that the Negro, through personal thrift and sacrifice, has elevated himself in the scale of civilization and is not now dependent on others in times of trouble. The management is now recruiting groups of competent young men and women living in the larger cities in the State of New Jersey for field and office work in such places. In the near future the writing of insurance and paying of claims will begin. Then our group in that State will know what is meant by the Superior Three-in-One Insurance Contract offered by the Company, which provides for one small premium, protection against Sickness, Accident and Death. Officers and members of Ft. Dearborn Lodge and Ft. Dearborn 1928 Marching Club are working like trojans to give their buildings at 3920 South Parkway a final beautifying touch before the setting of the grand lodge in this city August 26th.

Acting Coroner E. G. Hill held an inquest in the coroner's office at the City Hall, Monday, August 27th, at 10:30 A. M. with reference to the killing of Frank Irwin by Jim Dean. Sergeant Frank I. Gentry did not deem it advisable to call but one witness to establish the commission of the crime, and Leslie Aytes, who was slightly wounded by two of the shots, was called to testify. He stated that Irwin had just come from the Biltmore Hotel, and James Watts had just driven up in his car. Irwin was on the left hand side of the car in the rear, when Jim Dean came around the corner and called to him, asking if he (Irvin) had his gun, at the same time opening fire on him. Frank Irvin fell to the ground and then fired at Jim Dean five times. Leslie said he ran across the street. James Watts carried Irvin to the hospital in his car and he went there with him to be treated for the wound in his hand.

(Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) The Scarlet Dove and the Streets of Shanghai were productions of absorbing interest at the Mosque this week. It was estimated that more than a million dollars were expended in the production of these pictures. The displays are gorgeous and rival the original productions both in Russia and China. Couples are making engagements and taking advantage of the special rates at the Mosque. The Main Street entrance opening has afforded satisfaction to the colored patrons. The rates for adults and children are 25 cents and 10 cents respectively. Some of our leading citizens of color have been outspoken in expressing their appreciation of the change in the arrangements at this greatest playhouse of the Southland. The offerings next week are equally as interesting, representing as they do the scenic productions of the leading movie picture concerns in the country. The primary purpose of the Mosque management is to please its patrons, to give them what they want to see and hear. Advice along this line is being sought as it is realized that to make this expensive venture pay it must be liberally patronized. Read the announcement in this week's issue and make your engagements now. The price for this kind of service rendered is the cheapest in the city. 25 cents for grown persons, 10 cents for children under 12 years.

OODNK AUTOCASTER Dr. Frank Crane Says HAPPINESS When my two girls were getting ready to enter Wellesley they suddenly discovered about two weeks before their entrance examinations that they were to be quizzed upon the subject of trigonometry and knew nothing about it. But they had to pass an examination on it. So I got them a tutor at $20.00 a toot and he prepared them so that they passed and entered the college. While engaged in this study they came to me one day and asked me what a sine and a co-sine were. I told them to look in the dictionary as I had to. The truth was I didn't know what those things were myself. They looked in the dictionary and then brought the book to me saying they didn't understand the definition. Reading the definition, I replied that they had nothing on me, that I didn't understand it myself. Some days afterward I was talking to a very distinguished mathematician and told him this story, and asked him why it was that I who flattered myself on being an intelligent man could not understand what kind of a thing a sine was. "Why," he replied, "that is very simple. A sine isn't anything at all." "I know," I answered. "But why put it in the dictionary?" He said: "A sine is not a thing. It is a relation between two things." The greatest thing anybody can learn as regards their personal happiness is that it is not a thing, but a relation between two things. We never realize what a blessing good roads are until we come to a detour and have to travel over a mile or so of bumpy dirt road. I know a woman who is grieving herself to death over a wayward child for whom she has done everything possible. She needs to get her mind off of her child and think of what she possesses, of how many sources of happiness still remain to her. The homely advice, "Count your blessings" is a good one. We only be happy in what we possess by contemplating those who live less and not those who have more. So look about you, and see how many people are worse off than you and be thankful things are no worse. ```markdown ``` TIME OF SERVICES IN THE CHAPEL AT CITY HOME. Rev. F. W.

Reid RELIGIOUS ISSUE ARE YOU FOR THE EQUALIZATION IDEA IN FARM LEGISLATURE OR DRY ARE YOU WET ALSTON O'REILLY AUTOGRAPH Consternation filled the minds of the magistrates in Philippi the morning after the jail delivery, when Paul and Silas were released by a miracle at the midnight hour. These rulers sent servants to instruct the jailer to release these prisoners. Then Paul stood on the dignity that was rightly his. He insisted that these chief men come in person and acquaint him for they had already done great violence to their own law by beating a Roman citizen who, as yet, had not had a trial. Then the magistrates came with great fear and humbly asked Paul's pardon as they invited him to carry on his mission of preaching the Gospel elsewhere. elsewhere. In rather easy stages, of about thirty miles each, Paul went to Amphipolos, Appolonia and Thessalonica, the modern Salonica where numerous events took place during the recent World War. There the custom was followed of beginning work in the Jewish synagogue, and he addressed audiences on three successive Sabbaths declaring the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ "whom I proclaim unto you." Many devout Greeks and not a few chief women believed. Then the Jews were aroused with jealousy lest their hold on their own community be lessened. The gathered "certain vile fellows of the rabble" and soon had plenty of trouble started by those who loved to have part in a fight. These fellows rushed to the house of Jason where Paul had lodged, intending to drag him out for very rough handling. Paul, however, was not there at the time so they laid hold on Jason to make him the object of their rage. A most high compliment was paid to the evangelists when the matter was presented to the rulers. It was declared: "These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also" and Jason was their host. The best that they could do when there was peace and court was closed. we' to bind Jason over to keep the Paul was no sooner well started in successful work than he had to move on. The brethren now advised Paul and Silas to leave even that night for Beroa, about forty-seven miles further on. The story is somewhat different in this new preaching station. The Beroaans had a mind to learn if there was more of truth than they possessed. So they first listened to Paul and then turned to their Scriptures, our Old Testament, and examined the various prophecies concerning the coming of the Messiah that Paul indicated. After the most exact research they found that in Jesus Christ every reference was perfectly fulfilled. "Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honorable estate, and of men, not a few." This word Beroan has come to mean those who are careful Bible students and is familiar, especially in the history of the Methodist Episcopal Church. PHONE MAD 89. the literature of the Metropolitan Episcopal Church. It was not long before those who had stirred up trouble for Paul in Thessalonica came to Beroea and started another round of strife, just by way of jealousy. Crowds were soon on the side of the misery lovers, and it again seemed wise for Paul to go forward. He left both Silas and Timothy there and sailed for Athens, in Greece. The Golden Text for this lesson, which should always be committed to memory, is "The opening of thy words giveth light." Psalm 119:130.

Massage Cream—Lubricates skin for the daily massage which is essential for supplying nourishment to epidermal-cells. Towing Lotion—For removing all traces of creams and stimulating circulation. Tissue Cream—To be used at night for nourishing skin. Pore Paste—Essential for dry and sensitive skins as substitute for soap about nose and chin areas. Foundation — A greaseless cream or astringent lotion for checking city secretions of over-active pores pre-immunary to powdering or rouging. Bath Powder — For whitening and scenting body and arms. Complexion Powder — For face and neck. Bouge — Gives checks normal, healthy glow. Lipstick — Emphasizes natural beauty of the lips. Toilet Water — Exudes pleasing aroma. Perfume — Heightens charm and individuality of toilet. Naturally, a home beauty shelf must mirror the activities of its owner. If she reflects me as I am, an average, workday woman. Of course, that of a society woman would be much more complete.

"Orlando sure is a lot of trouble. What with his having to wear clean巾 to work, life is just one washtub after another. . . Gets his collars so dirty. Never the rest of the shirt. . . If I could only wash the collars without——" Mrs. Montague caught a deep breath. She raised a shirt at arm length, surveyed it, gilled it at its. Montague's jaw set and her eyes immed. She looked furiously about her. A pair of shears. Deliberately determined, Mrs. Montague set them and slashed the collar from the shirt she sat another shirt and slashed the collar from the shirt. And another, set another collar from the shirt she had slashed the collar from the shirt. THE RICHMOND HRE Mrs. Montague got out her sewing basket. She made salvage edges on collars, and neckbands, and added tapes to the collars to tie about the neck. Thus in the little house at 123 Third street in Troy, New York, sometime in the 1820's, was born the detachable collar. The modern merchant collar is the outgrowth of Harold Montague's invention. The comfortable starched neckwear of today, neat and business like in appearance, man's inheritance in the Blue Monday resolution of a wash-town housewife. When it was proposed to manufacture collars on a large scale, Mr. Amos Eaton, a scholar of the time, stated it was folly to waste the money on so petty amounts. Today the score is more important and the premises of the work are more secure. 2011.11.28 10 at communications intended for publication should be so. to reach us by Wednesday.

Company, 408 Dearborn Street, Chicago; Victoria Building, St. Louis, Mo.; Longacre Building, New York. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 1, 1928 --- We have received much matter for publication from the Colored Voters Division of the Republican National Committee. No release has attracted our attention more or caused us more amusement than one sent out with the heading, "Working Without Pay." The Associated Negro Press is accredited with the responsibility for saying that "Not a member of the Executive Committee of the colored group working for Hoover and Curtis is drawing a cent of salary." We do not know that this declaration means anything. means involving the salary and expenses carry a different significance, but in this day of manipulation and saying one thing to convey another, it will be taken to mean that these members of the Executive Committee have become so loyal to the Republican Party that they are taking the money that they should be expending upon their families, wives and children and with it are paying expenses that the Republican National Committee in particular and the Republican Party in general should pay. Why talk about working without pay? We have scanned the list of names submitted, both male and female and we have not been able to observe one, who could afford to "work without pay" in the sense that they are paying out of their own pockets money for the expenses of the committee of which they form a part. We are of the opinion that there is enough hypocrisy in this moral liquor issue to stop at that, when Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandst "winks at" and justifies the expenditures in one night for whiskey and champagne a sum of money, which has been aggregated at from nine thousand dollars to seventy thousand dollars in Governor Al Smith's city of New York. In the meantime, she becomes highly indignant at the payment to Benjamin J. Davis of $250.00 per month as head of the Republican Party of Georgia and she wants to put Perry W. Howard, her legal associate, inside of a federal prison because some office-holders in Mississippi contributed a few hundred dollars for the maintenance of the Republican organization in that State. This was done as spite work at the behest of the Negro-hating "illy-white organization in that State. Now comes the announcement that Hon. John R. Hawkins Department and its officials are "working without pay." This reminds us of a story often told down here, that when a colored preacher was reprimanded because of the poor sermons he was delivering to the congregation, his reply was, "I don't want the job, no how. Damm poor pay; damn poor preach." The late Judge S. B. Witt delighted in telling a story about an "old line" preacher in his home county, who after passing his hat around among the members of his congregation upon the Sunday allotted to him for the collection of his salary, after casting a furtive glance at the slight attention it had received said, "Brethren and sisters, I resign right now. I am convinced, the preacher, who pastors this church will have to live on earth and board in heaven." The Republican Party is now raising a fund aggregating four million dollars and the wise politicians smile when even this figure is mentioned. The Prohibition Department, which regards that bureau and its employees in danger is drawing a sum aggregating forty million dollars a year from the government. The Negroes of this country, so far as recognized political appointments are concerned are without hope regardless of who is elected. They must get their financial reward now or not at all. Recognition in appointive offices must come direct from the individual States. Both parties are in favor of white supremacy and are opposed to Negro domination. It may be reasonably supposed that both can- didates occupy the same position and from inside pressure will be in favor of the same thing. What is white supremacy? White supremacy means that only white men shall hold all of the government offices and that only white men shall get all of the money accruing from the holding of such offices. What is Negro domination? Negro domination is the holding by a Negro citizen, male or female of any appointive office that carries presidential or any other kind of recognition and which has any salary attached thereto. This colored division has shown the proper spirit from a Southern standpoint. It has proceeded to start out to work in politics without salary, a thing that no white man outside of the millionaire class is known to do, and when he does it at a nominal fee of $1.00 per year, he is connected with some corporation that will benefit by the elevation of that particular party to power or he has some relative that he will recommend for appointment to some saving position. The John R. Hawkins contingent seems to have had less wisdom and judgment than had the Indian, who had the following proposition submitted to him by a white trapper, after a day's forage for game. The result of the hunt was that the Indian killed a wild turkey and the white man killed a buzzard. Tired and foot-sore, the white man gazed on the Indian's turkey and he made this proposition to the red man of the Far West: You take the buzzard and I'll take the turkey or I'll take the turkey and you take the buzzard. The laconic reply of the Indian was, "You haven't said turkey to me once." He did not accept the offer. In dealing with Hon. John R. Hawkins in this Colored Voters Division, according to the Associated Negro Press, Chairman Work and his associates have not said, "Money" to John R. Hawkins once. In the meantime, the old preacher, giving "damn poor service for damn poor preach." That Candidate Herbert Hoover has become aware of the critical situation is evident from the following report from Washington, D. C.: While he has made no statement to that effect, the report persists that Mr. Hoover is not at all pleased with the way the organization in some parts of the East is functioning. He is said to be entirely satisfied with conditions in the West and to hold the opinion that there is no reason why the Eastern branch should not be equally efficient. The Republican Presidential nominee conferred for several hours today with Chairman Work of the National Committee and went over with him the whole political situation. Tomorrow Mr. Hoover will confer with James W. Good, manager of the Western campaign; John R. Nutt, of Cleveland, Treasurer of the National Committee; Jeremiah Milbank, of New York, the Eastern tracerer; Representative John Q. Tilson of the Eastern and Representative Walter R. Newton, of the Western Speakers' Bureau. These conferences will include discussions of the speaking as well as the financial phases of the campaign. He had better confer with R. R. Church, of Tennessee; Walter L. Cohen, of Louisiana; Benj. J. Davis, of Georgia; Charles W. Anderson, of New York; Harry Smith, of Ohio; Oscar Depriest, of Illinois, and J. Thomas Newsome, of Virginia, and a host of others, these parties mentioned by us might suggest to him. So far as the colored voters of the country are concerned, they are about to take a trip in droves away from the Republican Party and leading Democrats in the Southland are assisting in the movement, while influential members of the same party in the North and West have thousands of them in tow for the magnetic Governor of New York State. The decision as to whether John R. Hawkins should continue at the head of this Division should depend upon his ability to harmonize the discordant Negro elements within the Republican Party. If he cannot do it he should give way to some experienced political leader who can do so. This is no time for scholastic theories. It is the opportunity to exercise and to put into operation all of the force of practical politics. We are rather blunt in our statements, but the seriousness of the situation demands it. Working without pay is humbuggery. The question is how can we get the most done with pay and with practical politicians with honest inclinations and practices handling that part of it. Selah. POLITICAL BLUNDERS The Republican National Committee does not seem to be functioning well these days through its Colored Division at Washington, D. C., if we are to judge by the reports now being published in the newspapers of the country. Hon. John R. Hawkins is a leader and a scholar and from a religious standpoint ranks with some of the greatest leaders in the African Methodist Church. But has he the political acumen and experience that will enable him to discharge the duties to its fullest extent in handling the affairs of this great department? As for Secretary Holsey, of Tuskegee Institute, his duties are entirely RICHMOND P. ANET. RICHMOND VIRGINIA different and efficiency as a clerk is all that is necessary to qualify him for his onerous duties. In the case of Mr. Hawkins, he must not be sensitive to criticism. He must not be angry with his opponents. He must smile under all conditions and circumstances. He must win men over and especially those, who believe that he is not suited for the job that he occupies. He must be a "mixer". He must know who to trust with secrets and who not to take into his confidence. He must be a thorough-going diplomat. Has he these qualities? Let us see. After John R. Hawkins had been named by Chairman Work, chairman of the Colored Division of the Republican National Committee, he proceeded to appoint an Advisory Committee to serve in connection with the aforesaid Division. Here was required the exercise of skill, diplomacy and political knowledge. Failing in any of these qualities would mean that "the mule will kick you." We could have told him this, but we were not near enough to do so and we doubt if our advice would have been requested, although we are personally friendly with this distinguished official of the A. M. E. Church. His first handicap was that he has an actual and an official residence in Washington. We take it that he is badly in need of an advisory committee if the following showing is authentic: That brilliant attorney and astute politician, J. Thomas Newsome, Esq., who at one time was a candidate for Attorney General of this State gave out the following letter received from Chairman John R. Hawkins and his secretary: August 8, 1928. J. Thomas Newsome, Esq., Attorney at Law. My Dear Newsome; In connection with the organization of the Colored Voters' Division of the Republican National Committee, we are inviting you to serve as a member of the advisory committee. As the campaign progresses you will be subject to call for some specific work, and we very much hope you may see your way clear to accept the appointment and its attendant responsibilities. Yours very truly, The Colored Voters' Division. John R. Hawkins, Chairman, Albin L. Holsey, Secretary. We ask in all candor: How could the Colored Voters' Division address Hon. J. Thomas Newsome as "My Dear Newsome"? Mr. Hawkins should have had enough money at his disposal to send a messenger to Mr. Newsome or to summon him to Washington and in chambers go over the situation with him or else, he should have written him that by the direction of Chairman Work, of the Republican National Committee, he had been named to serve on the aforesaid committee. Attorney Newsome is one of the leading colored attorneys in this State, and he has cases paying "big" fees listed upon the docket of the courts of this Commonwealth. How could he be expected simply for the honor of serving under a chairman on a subordinate committee, without recognition from the Chairman of Republican National Committee, if not by designation of the Candidate, Hon. Herbert Hoover himself to give up his practice and hold himself ready to perform specific work and attendant responsibilities with non-compensating race benefits for the masses or hope of reward for himself? Mr. Newsome has not accepted. To ask the question is to answer it. Hon. John R. Hawkins needs an advisory committee which can furnish several carloads of common sense. We call this blunder No. 1. We do not know the order of the next blunders. Suffice it to say that under date of August 22, 1928, it was announced that Hon. R. R. Church, one of the most astute politicians in this whole country, if not the most astute is said to have also declined a similar appointment and in doing so, he virtually "read the riot act" and evidently made the ears of both Chairman Hubert Work and Chairman John R. Hawkins tingle, when he sent his declination directly to Chairman Work. Here it is: "Announcement of my selection as a member of the Executive Committee of the Colored Voters Division has been made. I am not insensible of the honor. "Since, however, I cannot bring myself to endorse either the personnel of this committee or the method by which it was chosen, I am forced to decline the appointment and withdraw from membership thereupon. "Intimate knowledge of conditions among colored Americans, of their present state of mind, of their growing self-respect, of the feeling of colored Republicans who create our majorities in the free states, together with my own experiences in laboring for our party, lead to the conclusion that neither important colored leaders nor the rakh and file will follow men who have no votes of their own, whether because they hail from states in which colored citizens are denied the ballot or from neutral territory where disfranchisement is universal." That is a political 16-inch gun fired by a "dead-shot" marksman and even had we been the victim at whom it was simed, would be forced to Moore St. Bapt.

FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER recognize the deadly nature of the load therein contained. Mr. Church continued: "Developments indicate that neither Illinois nor Ohio will follow Alabama, North Carolina or the District of Columbia. Moreover, the policy is an unwise and unnecessary one that drags a religious sect into politics and involves our important universities in political quarrels. "In no circumstance must I become party to such a situation as is created for us in ignoring men and women who meet issues daily and create votes and elevating above them those who dodge issues, cannot influence a single vote, have no voice to raise when we are assailed, and are Republicans only once in four years, and then only by appointment and not by choice of the people. "To the fortune of Mr. Hoover I am devoted. Politically I am his follower and supporter. Personally I am his ardent admirer. Nothing that my hands can find to do to assist him will remain undone. Nothing I can do in aid of you and your part will remain unperformed. "Since this is so, I send you this letter as the first duty I owe the colored Republicans, Mr. Hoover as our candidate, to our party and to you as our party leader." There is a "mountain of truth" in this condensed common sense advice and educating criticism. Personal benefits must be subordinated to the general good and experienced colored political leaders should be considered and consulted first and plans laid afterwards. Hon. John R. Hawkins made a great speech in seconding the nomination of the Hon. Herbert Hoover as President of the United States. He can make a greater one both in purpose and practice by harmonizing these leaders who refuse to accept his leadership or the manner of his appointment. His true greatness will be shown by his action in the present crisis. His third and last blunder to date was the reported naming by him of J. Finley Wilson as a member of this same committee and the refusal of "Finley" to accept the same. He should have known that J. Finley Wilson and his newspaper, the Washington Eagle, were already committed to Hon. Alfred E. Smith, Democratic candidate for President, and that Robert J. Nelson, one of the shrewdest political manipulators in this country, whatever that may Moore St. B West Leigh St., betw eer Dr. Gordon PAS Sunday, S 11:30 A. M., Lini 8:30 P.

Only with this famous Skin Whitener can you get-such DR. FRED SK WHIT mean, and who manages and controls J. Finley Wilson's paper, the Washington Eagle, is regional director of the Middle Atlantic Division of the Smith-for-President League, while Nelson's madame, one of the shrewdest colored women in this same country is Vice-Chairman of the Advisory Committee of this same League, and Ferdinand Q. Morton, Tammany Hall's Negro political leader, is Chairman of this Advisory Committee. Morton is pas. master in New York politics, and there are few, if any, politicians, white or colored, that can surpass him. He has the absolute confidence of Governor Smith and all of the rest of those Tammany Hall Democrats. Under his administration, more Negroes are holding offices in New York than has ever been known before. As an evidence of somebody's ability, we were told by one of our Richmond colored men, who lived twenty years in New York, that he was deputy sheriff in New York for four years, drew $10 per day as salary and he never once saw inside of the sheriff's office. This was though, no doubt, before Morton's rise to power, when Chief Lee held sway. Ee that as it may "we are selling it as we bought it", telling it as it was told to us with no guarantee as to "flavor or alcoholic content". J. Finley Wilson said he declined the appointment. What we want to know is, how in the world could anyone have tendered to him such a political honor? Unless something is done to curb the activities of Assistant United States Attorney General Mabel Walker Willebrandt, further defections are sure to follow. It may be thought that the election of Hon. Herbert Hoover, of California, as President of the United States is already assured. It may be that Hon. Alfred E. Smith, of New York, is staring defeat in the face. If this be a fact, and the Republican leaders are so sure that they will make no effort to poll the votes for the Republican ticket in the doubtful states of the North, East and West and the protesting ones of the South, then Hon. John R. Hawkins and his corp of managers are all right and no effort should be made to improve or correct the conditions, we have taken the time to portray. But may be, after all, it is none of our business. We had these thoughts in mind and we have expressed them. Selah Sapt. Church, in Kinney and Bowe Sts. B. Hancock, TO ?.

HOWARD'S PLEA OF INNOCENCE The only information I have with reference to my indictment is what I have read in the daily papers. 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. 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 go on, whether I am temporarily incarcerated or not. I am guilty of no wrong doing, directly or indirectly. 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. 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 ofxMississippi 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 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 more you mow us down, the more thickly we grow; the blood of Christ'sians 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. Sheldon, 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 of 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 black mammies of other days and to the "big house" Negroes, who were butlers, hostlers valets and the like. This class of southerners have a bitter antipathy to 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 Mississippian, who hailed from the State of Hon. John Sharp Williams and whose appointment as Special Assistant Attorney General Many Well-Dressed American Men of Today Are Rivals of Beau Brummell's Taste in Attire HON.

ADOLPHB MENHOU, SCREEN STAR. 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 sat insulted. 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 enclosed 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 hasty 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 assistae 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 ply, 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 prelament 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 expatriate 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." 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 enthroned and a proper judgment be reached in short order. We would suggest that Hon. George L. Sheldon of Nebraska go on back home and permit the black and white Mississippiians to get along in peace PIVI 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. Whether it will result in landing the "vote getting" Hon. Alfred E. Smith of New York or the state statistical Hon. Herbert Hoover of California in the White House of the Nation will be an after consideration. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt may be fine on a whiskey sent 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.

What is your name?” he asked Simon iudd, and Judd told him. “Mr. judd, I’m sure will act for you as far as necessary. There can be no funeral,” he added, to Simon Judd, ‘antil the law has gone through its formalities. However, if I might just speak to you a moment or two.” ‘Amy, as she had been advised, entered the house to try to eat a breakfast, and Dr. Blessington led Simon Judd to the far end of the veranda, “The funeral arrangements can all be attended to later,” he said; Tt was not that I wanted to speak about.

What I wented to urge was that you keep your eye on this girl. I don’t want to alarm you needlessly but until we know more about this affair it is best to try to be safe. ‘What I mean is that we don't know yet that this murder is not the work of a maniac; perhaps a maniac here in this house. If one mnrder has been done another may be attemp- ted, you see? Probably there is nothing in the idea, but keep an eye on Miss Drane. Don't let her be another victim, Judd.” “Til look out for her the best T can, doc,” Simon Judd said, “and you can bet on thai She's a nice kid, this Amy is, But how about it being a murder all so sure?

You're the family doctor, ain't you?” “That's rather peculiar, too,” be said, frowning a little. “I am the family doctor here; I have a larger bill here each month than with any house in Westcote; I'm called here again and again. But I've never been asked to so much as feel John Drane’s pulse or look at his tongue! ‘The man—or woman—has never been sick, or if she has she never called me. The servants have had all my attention, and plenty of it, too.” “That colored man sure has a bad cough said Simon Judd. “They're ail. sick,” said Dr. Blessington. “I never knew such a household of sick help. It’s as bad as a hospital; I don't see how a person can bear to have so much sickness around. But John Drane —or this woman who pretended to be John Drane—has certainly been good to them. T've never known her to discharge a servant for ill health; she’s had me here twenty times ‘a month.

For twenty years he had been picking bp friminals He had | never ‘studled” crime, but the ways and habits of criminals had soaked into him; an understanding of their probable actions and reactions had ome instinctive in him; this was one reason why he was so valuable; another reason was that he had a brain that was able to recognize the times when a criminal was not act- ing according to rule. He could think when he had to. Brennan was not particuiarly annoyed because he had been put on this case on a Sunday morning. He hed planned to see a_ football game that afternoon but his inten- tion had been to pick up a couple of pickpockets there, if they were still working the football crowds, and a murder was apt to be more interesting. He followed the cir- cular drive to the veranda, glancing past the house toward the back where the drive curved farthest and when he had mounted to the veranda he rang the bell. Norbert, the colored houseman, came to the door. “T'm the detective assigned to this case,” he said withopt flourish. “The body upstairs or downstairs?” “Upstairs, sir; yes sir,” Norbert assured him. "Two cops up there; you can go right on up. Should I take your hat, sir? No; you goin’ take it with you. Right up these stairs. Yes sir!” ‘At the head of the stairs one of the officers greeted him with “ello, Dick!” and Brennan re- plied “Hello, Joe!” ar! “Mean piece of business this is, Dick,” the officer, said. “Stabbing, is it?
