VOLUME XLVI, NO. 7. REV. BROWN PREACHES THE POWER OF PRAYER—IAM PRESIVE SERVICES AT THE SIXTH MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) I visited the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church last Sunday morning. The collection was being listed as I entered. The choir was at its best and the organ st supplied the musical selections with a zest that satisfied everybody present. Rev. A W. Brown the eloquent pastor had taken as his subject: "The Power of Prayer." He proceeded to speak in a conversational tone for such a time before he stated his text that I was under the impression that none would be taken. A DELICATE SUBJECT. His text was from Matthew 6:6. He was handling a delicate subject, for this is a church of prayer. The most soul-stirring utterances ever heard in this city and the most emoitional declarations staged in any part of the country are sent forth from between the walls of this sacred edifice. Still Rev. Brown quoted the Scriptures to show how to pray, that a prayer uttered in secret would be answered openly. SECRET PRAYER. . Then he dwelt upon the fact that secret prayer was all powerful, that you should enter into the closet and after having done so, should shut the door. He explained though that prayers delivered in public not for the purpose or being seen of men were right and proper. If you pray in public and are seen of men, it is all right, but if you pray in public to be seen of men, it is all wrong. The deliverance of the pastor created a profound impression. Before he had concluded the spirit was felt and responses came from all parts of the church. MANY MEMBERS SICK. . Rev. Brown stated that about one third of the church membership was down with the "ffu". Still the main floor was comfortably filled and the seats in the galleries contained its quota of anxious hearers. Then Rev. Brown descended to the main floor and announced, "The doors of the church are open." The large congregation arose and a stirring hymn was sung. Probat on Officer W. R. Johnson was among the members who came forward for watch care membership. MEN'S DAY AT FIFTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 23. Sunday, December 23rd will be Men's Day at the Fifth Street Bop tist church and under the leadership of Deacon W. W. Blackwell the men of the church have planned a program which it is believed will prove to be of unusual interest to the congregation as a whole and to the people of Richmond. The sermon at the 11 o'clock services will be delivered by Rev. A. P. Young B. D. of Bowling Green Va. who is a forcible speaker and a gospel treacher of power and magism. The full choir under the direction of Prof. Joseph Matthews will render music and the public is invited to attend. The evening service will include a brief sermon by Rev. Young musical numbers by Quarrels, representing Sixth Mt. Zion, Ebenezer, Second and Fifth Street Baptist Churches respectively. There will also be a violin solo by Mr. Commodore Bennett. The presiding officer for the day will be Deacon W. W. Blackwell and the offering throughout the day will go to swell the amount which the men are expected to raise in their rally against the women of the church for the benefit of the building fund. The public is invited to attend. GASHED HIS THROAT. Alfred Carter, 1218 St. Paul St. cut three gashes in his throat. These wounds were healing nicely and he was carried to the City Home. Sunday night, 16th inst. he complained of difficulty in breathing and went out back of the City Home building and sat down to get relief. It is thought that he had a heart attack for he fell over in the gully and when the attendants reached him he was dead. WISHING YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM A PAINTING BY MULLER THE HOLY NIGHT Perry W.

The warnings sounded from the bench of the Hustings Court of this city by His Honor W. Kirk Mathews relative to going on the bonds of bootleggers will long be remembered by one professional man, if not by any other. During last October, D. Webster Davis, M. D. went on the bond of Robert Johnson, alias Rich ard Johnson in the sum of one thousand dollars with verbal assurances that he would be protected should any trouble arise therefrom. Investigation in the Clerk's Office showed that Judge Mathews had granted six indulgences or contain uances in this matter. (Continued on page 5) Rev. J. J. Nickens, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Midtown, Va. announced that his church had increased his salary $15 more than it had ever paid any other pastor; that it had given him $50 in cash with which to purchase a new suit of clothes. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lucas arrived in the city this week from Olean, N. Y. They will spend the Winter here with relatives and friends. . . Edward Stewart. the grocer is mighty popular these days.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS. ATTORNEY McKENZIE ARRESTED. Officer Pugh Exceeds Authority. Judge Ingram Promptly Dismisses the Charge. Officer Pugh arrested Attorney C. A. McKenzie at the door of the Police Court inside of the City Hall Tuesday morning and carried him over to the Police Headquarters, where he proceeded to call the patrol to carry him to the First Police Station, although the offense alleged to have been committed was practically committed in the presence of the Court itself and was due treatment by Judge John L. Ingram who was holding police court at that time. This created something of a sensation. PAYING ON A FINE. . . It seems that Attorney McKenzie had assumed responsibility for a client and paid $5.00 per week on this amount. He attempted to enter the Police Court but was refused admittance by Officer Pugh, although he told him he was an attorney. Owing to the "flu" epidemic, only persons having business in the court are admitted. After endevouring to get into the court-room through the other entrance and finding it locked, he was again refused admittance by (Continued on page 4) FULTON NOTES Special Christmas Sermon tomorrow morning at the Mt.

THE RICHMOND wrappings for gifts, for white tissue paper and red ribbon is no longer the one and only Christmas gift dressing. Many favor the idea of wrapping all gifts in the same colors, while others suit the wrapping to the gift, itself. To follow one of the most effective vogues for Christmas gift wrappings, you should use the same color for all of your gifts. These may be in French blue and silver ribbon, with silver star seals, green with white and silver holly, and black paper with silver trimming is very chic. Gold paper tied with scarlet tulle ribbon is also good form, and with green ribbon and green stars, silver paper with red ribbon, white paper sealed with large colorful cut-outs and gummed ribbon is also interesting. If you decide to lend a very original touch and disregard all suggestions of Christmas colors, you may use orchid with Nile green, blue and yellow, or green bronze with apricot, or any combination that suits your fancy. Decorated crepe papers lend themselves to striking gift wrappings, too. These are also economical, for usually no ribbon is required, and the ends may be simply pasted into place and held with seals. The crepe paper makes interesting gift wrappings, for gay Santa Claus cutouts may be pasted on such packages so that each box will appear like a miniature chapel.

Howard and his Missssippi as- suciates, both white and colored were acquitted of the charges under which they were indicted and can once more look their accusers in the face and point at them the accusing finger of scorn. It was a political trick unworthy of people in bigh places, Mrs. Mabel Walker Wille- brandt was a party to this disrepu table business and she should do all in her power to right the wrong that she has done to her colleague in the ‘Gffice og the Attorney General of the United States. Mr. Howard is a member of the Republican National Committee and will remain so unless he resigns before tite next presidential election. It places the Republican leaders in ‘a most embarrassing position. Hon. Robert. R. Church of Tennessee and Hon. Perry W. Howard of Missis- sippi hold a winning hand unless President-elect Herbert Hoover sees fit to insist upon their retirement from Party affairs. It is am inter- esting situation, to say the least. Mr. Howard occup‘es the center of the stage, so to speak. Can he stand the “gaff”? Will he follow the example of Hon. B. J. Davis on account of money considerations and retire? We shall see what we shall nee. ie MR. JORDAN'S STATEMENT. We publish elsewhere a commun- {cation from Mr, William A, Jordan tell'ng in detail about the happenings at the meeting of the subcommittee of the Committee on Ordinances of the Common Couneil of the Cty of Richmond, We stand corrected as te the exact wording of h.s proposed substitute for the pending ordinance, To be exact, he believed that the solution of the alleged problem was for the Richmond author.ties to pro vide monvy to Improve the streets and public facilities in the colored sections of this city. ‘Then there would be no problem to solve. .. ‘Mr, Jordan states that he is not a statistician or economist. Webster defines the two as follows: _ Statistle!an—One versed in or bigaged in compiling statistics. Economist,—Any manager of af- fairs especially oue who manages concerns with fragality; one who expends or directs the expenditure of money, time, or labor jud clously and without waste... We were under the impression that the well-known Richmonder was entitled to both of these desig- nations. We are not in the position to dispute bis positive dectarat.on “Tam not a statistician or econom- ist,” so we again stand corrected in this respect. He is “level-headed” enough to kuow the proper designa- tion for himself and associntes. Certainly, we regard him as one of the most valuable citizens in this community. We base this upon our certainly have the right to so regard him without being taken to task for own personal observations and we so doing. Selah. (Concluded from page 1) the officer. He is alleged to have remarked that the officer. must tlink himsolf the Kaiser. This an- gerad the policeman and he pro- eeeded to humilfate the lawyer by techn'eally locking him up. .. UNUSUAL PROCEDURE. ‘This fs the first time that a person committing an offense in the virtual presence of the Court was not carr’ed to the Judge presiding for such pun ishment as he might see ft to in- flict, In this case’ Lawyer McKenzie was withia his rights. He is an of- ficer of tite Court and untess denied the right by the Judge has a right tc come and go in the court room. he officer was acting gor the bailiff and he should have notified him of the situation for such action as he might see fiz to take. ce .. INTERESTING SITUATION. .-An interesting side to the situation ig presented when it is stated taat Lawyer McKenzie is q devout Roman Catholic and was an ardent support er of “Al” Smith for Pres.dent. It ig rumored that he will take further steps in the matter, The over zeal ous officer found no supporters in his violation of the fundamental rules and usages in the legal pro cedure at the Police Court. A lead -ng white attorney came to Lawyer MeKenzie's ald and readily went his bond, while the mag strate showed his sympathy by making no charge for bail service. = ASE NOT CALLED. Attorney C." A. McKenzie's case was not called in the Police Court lust Wednesday morning although it appeared on the docket as follows: .“C. A. McKenzie, C. 38 Lawyer, Va., 619 N. Sth St. Charged disor derly m basement of the City #all. Wit. J. 0. Pugh. By same end M. N. Bradley.” When the docket was concluded, Attorney McKenzie's friends led by one of the prominent white attorneys approached Judge Jobn L. Ingram and enquired as to the status of the case. H's Honor stated that he had told McKenzie that he need not ap pear to answer the charge, It seems that the instructions had been given that only those summoned as wit nosses in cases should be admitted to the court room, when as a matter of fact any one hav:ng business with the Court was entitled to enter. The officer had darried McKenzie acros: the street under ‘arrest, when he should hive brought him before the Ccurt. .. ee JUDGE INGRAM’S DISAPPROVAL. Judge Ingram expressed plainly his disapproval of the whole pro ceedings and stated that he presumed that the officer had-not been long on the police force and that he was a recent appointee. The white at torney dwelt upon the humiliation, to which Attorney McKenzie had been subjected. When carried across the street, he was unceremoniously dragged over there and at times, h.s feet were not touching the ground. .-Thig concluded the matter for the time being, after which Atterney MeKenzte and his friends went into a consultation. .. ip a VIRGINIA—In the Law and Equity {Court of the City of Richmond, the 15th day of December, 1928.

Second Street Richmond Va., December 15, 1923 Editor The Planet, Richmond, Virginia. New York. I respectfully ask that you publish this explanatory statement in the next issue of your paper, as a means of setting forth a more accurate report of statements made by some of the speakers opposing the Segregation Ordinance before the Committee on Ordinances of the Council of the City of Richmond, on December 5, 1928 than that given in your editorial of December 15, 1928. This letter or statement is not intended as a criticism of your very fine editorial in that issue, because I understood that you were not present at the committee meeting, but realizing the matter was one of great importance, you prepared the editor from information furnished by me and others; and, due to the fact that the information was given verbally, you got some of the details and persons confused. I therefore present the following corrections: DR. LEON A. REID'S EFFECTIVE I am not a statistician or economist and the very effective presentation of statistics on the difference in the mortality rate of the white and colored people due largely to the inequality or sanitary and economic environments of the two races. was ably presented by Dr. Leon A. Reid. PROF. LOGAN A FACTOR. I also point out the fact that Processio is, we logan, of the faculty of the Virginia Union University, made the closing statement in oppo- sition to the ordinance, and its usual was often and most convincing in showing that there must be made some provision for the macular in access of the coated people, or the city must assume the responsibility of preventing Negro muggers from bringing into the world any more children. THE TRUE REMEDY. I wish especially to correct that portion of your editorial white matter that I proposed as a substitute for the pennant ornament, that the city take in additional territory and prepare it for occupancy by colored people. I stated, among other things, that if the white citizens present, a decided minority, who were advocating the unfair ordinance as a solution or what they considered a grave problem, that is, the buying or renting of houses by colored people in sections where white people had detention lived, due to the fact such houses and streets were in far better condition than those in white colored people were living, and in many instances, were renting or selling for less than the duplicated and unsantantary structures in the scattered colored areas, were to use our influence with the Council and city authorities to get the Council to provide money to improve the streets and public facilities in the colored sections of the city there would be no problem to solve. I further pointed out that here, like in any other Southern cities, there were in effect the most rigid and unrary kinds or segregat on due to the fact that the white people had by private arrangements and practices, selected and restricted to them selves every desirable section on piece of land within the city, and in radius of ten to fifty miles around the city, and through the r control of all governmental, affairs used practically of the tax money for the betterment of the r streets and sections, and by crowding Negroes into very limited and undesirable areas, they had brought about the very condition that they complained to, therefore, I offered as a solution of this state of affairs the practice of fines and fair play by the Council and city officials, in the d distribution of the tax money used for public improvements, and the realization of the fact that the natural increase of the color population would make it necessary for them to take-over houses and forms formally occupied by white people when ever they moved into newer and desirable sections. LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND. Such a process was the ordinary working out of the economic law of supply and demand. And, furthermore, colored people, like all other people desire to obtain the best houses and locations for their money, and they never bought or rented such houses because they wanted to be white, or wished to live among white people. They simply took advantage of the offers made them by owners and agents who had property to rent or sell, and were therefore exercising their constitutional- and property rights in so doing. . . . THREATENED RACE RIOTS .. FUTILE. .. ... In closing, I state that I took cognance of the threat given by one white speaker, that the continued encroachment or Negroes in the so-called white sections would most likely bring about a repetition in Richmond, of the Chicago and Washington riots. I pointed out to the assembly that these riots had not prevented Negroes in the respective cities from renting or buying houses that were for sale; but the riots had engendered in them a spirit to secure these houses and many thousands of others; and in Chicago, it had put a Negro in the United States Congress; and the Negroes of Richmond could not be intimidated by a threat of a riot or kept from trying to improve their very unsanitary and unsatisfactory housing conditions. Respectfully submitted. W. A. JORDAN. 11:30 A. M., "When The Heaven Bells Ring." ---A Christmas Message 8:15 P. M., Communion. YOU ARE WELCOME. --- --- Dr. D. Webster Davis (Continued from page 1) The last one was December 1st, at which time a rule was issued for Dr. Davis, he not being present. In the meantime Johnson had disap peared. He was up on a msdemeanor whiskey charge and as he had before been convicted on a similar charge a second conviction would be $b_2 a bloow. For this reason, Johnson "took the wings of the morning," so to speak and landed somewhere in New York. Judge Mathews issued a rule for Davis and gave him until ten o'clock the next morning to pay into the coffers of the Court $1000 with $117 cost or go to jail. FINDING JOHNSON . Neither Dr. Davis nor his friends had any idea of his going to jail, so they set about doing two things: raising the money if they must, or finding Johnson if they could. A further stay was finally secured and the next day found Dr. Davis on his way to New York where he quickly located his quarry and succeeded in having him arrested and held there. He came to Richmond and he had to pay $175 more to defray the expense of drawing the necessary papers and sending Sergeant Fox there to bring Johnson to Richmond. . . . MONEY PAID. The money was paid over Tuesday night. Dr. Davis stated that Johnson expressed his willingness to return to Richmond without being extradicted. As the bond has already been declared forsed, it is up to the Court to accept Johnson in lieu of the payment of the thousands and dollars. The costs amounting to $117 however must be paid. It is estimated that the amount extended has already exceeded $500. Whether Dr. Davis will have to undergo its loss is not known. SHOULD STAY AWAY It is safe to say that persons ask me a boudman he better keep away from the second floor of Third and Clay Streets.
