THE RICHMOND PLANET VIRGINIA MAY 4 1928 TE LIBRARY COLORED INSURANCE OFFICIALS HOLD GREAT MEETING IN LITTLE ROCK, ARK. PERRY W. HOWARD WINS GREAT VICTORY VOLUME XLVI, NO. 25 COLO GRE INTERES Large Su LITTLE ROCK, ARK. May 1—(By the Associated Negro Press)—The ninth annual session of the National Negro Insurance Association held here last week will go down on record as one of the most interesting in the history of that organization. It was an intensely practical business-minded convention. Every session started on the moment scheduled with 95 percent of the delegates in their seats where they remained except when on their feet for the animated searching discussion on which followed every paper. The future program of Negro insurance companies the largest commercial organizatsions which have been developed within the group, as well as the problems of administration, financing and operation which face these organizatons were laid frankly on the table, dissected, examined and discussed in the fight of the different experiences the various executives had had. These pioneers in racial, financial, corporate effort, many of them reserved gray veterans of experience, and others younger men with eager, ambitious enthusiasm, communed together exchanging views in a spirit of cooperation new to Negro competition. COMPANIES BANDED TOGETHER In fact as President Harry H. Pace pointed out, these companies no longer regard themselves as competitors. "We are striving for the same goal and whatever any of our organizations win stays within the group." Mr. pace said. Remarking further, however that the companies recognized their real competitors as the white groups seeking similar business as one great organization of that type having more than a billion dollars worth of insurance upon Negro lives. INSURANCE COMPANIES MAKING PROGRESS. Staggering to the lay mind were some of the figures showing the enviable volume of business the organizations in the association have obtained. Of the two and one-half billion dollars worth of insurance which the colored people of the country carry on their lives the colored companies have three hundred and twenty million. Those companies have two million dollars capital. Last year they wrote nineteen million five hundred thousand dollars worth of business, ... They employ nine thousand or more people and have an annual (Continued on page 3) PERRY W. F WINS GREAT HOWARD ACQUITTED AT SECOND TRIAL Federal Court Jury Declares Him Not Guilty in Patronage Act Case. Merida, Miss., April 26.—Perry W. Howard, Negro; James G. Buchanan and George F. McClelland were acquitted of violating the Federal patronage act by a jury in Federal court here today. At the same time a verdict of acquittal was brought in for Ed. L. Patton, Jackson Negro, who yesterday was ordered exonerated by Judge Edwin R. Holmes because of insufficient evidence incriminating him in the alleged conspiracy to violate the patronage act. The verdict marks the second time the United States Department of Justice had failed to convict Howard on charges of conspiracy. He was tried at Jackson with four other defendants last December and acquitted. Miller McGilchrist, special agent of the Department of Justice and assistant United States Attorney- ADVENTURE DAY PROGRAM The annual Adventure Day program sponsored by the Colored Playground and Recreation Association will take place at Virginia Union University on Saturday, May 11th, beginning at 10 o'clock. The events for children will consist of playground activities, track and field events, maypole winding, a singing game contest and a pageant. One of the outstanding events for men is a horseshoe pitching contest. Men and women may enter the stunt contest. In the evening there will be a quartet contest. All quartets are eligible, male, female or mixed. All interested in entering any competition will be depicted by students of Virginia Union University as a closing of the day's program. The program is planned to provide recreation for all ages. The story of Rainbow land will be told in song by more than one hundred children representing the winds, dewdrops, snowflakes, frostsprites, miststorms and sunrams, and moonbeams in the operetta "Over the Rainbow," on Friday evening, May 10th, at 7:45, at True Reformers' Hall. Miss Dorothy Wells is the gracious Rainbow Queen and will have in attendance six beautiful maids and two heralds. Beautiful costumes will be designed and made by the following committee: Mrs. Bernice Sampson, chairman; Mrs. Annie Jackson, Mrs. Lillie Jackson, Mrs. Mary Ball, Mrs. William A.

Mrs. Susie R. Gill, widow of Rev. C. C. Gill is in the city the guest of Mrs. E. C. Eldridge. General, assisted District Attorney Lester G. Fant in the prosecution. McGilchrist declared today that, despite the verdict, the patronage investigation would continue. The jury reached its decision last night after approximately six hours' deliberation, but because of inability to assemble the defendants, it was not returned to the court until this morning.

REVIVAL CONTINUED AT FOURTH BAPTIST Revival services, which were planned to last ten days, have been extended another week. Great interest is being shown by the unsaved as well as the saved, and each evening by 8:15 the church has a capacity crowd in its lecture room. Many hearts have been touched and souls saved as a result of Dr Kent's efficient sermons and Rev Wendy. The gospel hymns used are appropriate and soul-stirring. It will naturally seem that the success of these meetings is due largely to the afternoon "One Hour" prayer services at 4 o'clock and to the Sunday sunrise prayer meetings, both are largely attended. Read John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever should believe in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Then say, "Ask and it shall be given thee." MENS LEAGUE MEETS AT THE FOURTH BAPTIST CHURCH The Men's League of Fourth Baptist Church held a well attended meeting at the Church last Sunday afternoon. This Leagoe was organized by the pastor, Dr. F. W. Williams as a civic asset and it is in splendid shape for service in behalf of our group on Church Hill, Roscoe C. Mitchell was the speaker for the occasion. He spoke on the cultural and intellectual background of the Richmond Negroes and applied these controls towards a better economic and social standing for the race here. Rev. Williams and Rev. James the new pastor at Asbury M. E, Church also spoke. Offers of the League are D. L Mayo, president; Lee Jackson, vicepresident; Charles Morton, secretary J. A. Brockerborough, treasurer; K. S. McCall, chaplain; Isaiah Carter chorister. Vaughan Bros., who operate the Tokio Cafe, have purchased the rights, titles and interest in the confectionery at the northwest corner of First and Clay Streets. They took charge last Wednesday and will be glad to see their friends and customers there.

Every heroic.or great humanitarian deed recorded in history is a inonument to unswerving faith. St. Paul in Hebrews, eleventh chapter, instances many notable examples of faithful men in action; it woul? «io no harm if we read that story 2 Fitle oftener. We have plenty of suck testimony here in America, By faith, George Washington, with his handful of ragged troops, was able to force a very powerful nation to capitulate Faith in his God, his faithful followers, and hiwself.. By faith, the homely Lincol:: hammered away through poverty, adversity and 2 bloody war,—until he drove the word “slavery” from the statutes of the United States of America, and ma‘e “is name immortal. By faith, Woodrow Wilson, backed by a great liberty-loving prople, delivered a hemisphere from the menace of tyrarny. Like Lincoln, he gave his life for principle, in faith that never for an instant wavered. And Lindbergh's great achievement. Faith, faith, faith!’ Man is the only creature capable of possessing faith; the lower animals have no need of it. When I see a faithless man or woman buffeted by waves of misfortune and diseontent, my sympathies are awakened—but that doesn’t help anybody; faith must be sought for, seized, hel! 7+ costs nothing; its value is greater than that of the costliest gems = Ctin Gt LAA Yd “odtt- ean =) todo. cuucerneeen | ‘There are sermons all around us, just waiting to be seem; end, they are so impressive—far more so to me than those framed artfully for itching ears. 9“ T have seen the young mother putting her first babe to the breast for the very first time.

Gray Haddon ruled yesterday in Police Court. ‘After Policeman G. W. Burruss recited that he had arrested G. A. Simmons, elderly Negro, for using bad language and, worse—from the officer's standpoint —refusing to de- sist when ordered by Burruss to do 0, Simmons unfolded a Bible, placed it on the judge’s desk, and said: “Your Honor, I took my text from the 22nd chapter of Revelations.” The judge pondered over the good book, read the verses in question, and dismissed the case. Myf a man reads a Bible and in- decency is there, I can’t do anything about it,” the court stated. “The chief of police, who issued the per- fnit, has diseretion in the matter, but my hands are tied.” "The Police Court record for Tues- day, April 30, 1929, showed the fol- lowing entry: G. A, Simmons C. 66 Preacher, West Indies 1013 Turpin St. On warrant. Did unlawfully be disor- derly in the pablle street. Wit. W. B. Burroughs, A. Bricker. The following is an extract from the records of the Hustings Court of this city: ‘The grand jurors of the Common- wealth of Virginia in and for the Body of the City of Richmond, duly summoned to and now attending said Court. on their oaths, present, that WALTER B, BURROUGHS ‘on the third day of August, in the year one thousand nine hundred and ‘twenty-eight, ‘at the said City of Richmond, being, then and there Armed with a deadly weapon, to-wit: armystol, in and upon one, James Sharpe, unlawfully, feloniously, wil- fully, deliberately’ and premeditated. ly and of malice aforethought did Kill and murder against the peace Bnd dignity of the Commonvvealth of Virginia.

At the hearing Be Rev. G. A. Simmons, who was arrested at Brook Avenue and Mon- toe Street, in the Police Court, the colored attorney, J. ‘Thomas Hewin, appeared for Simmons with the an- pounced satisfactory result. What (would the late Rev. John Jasper have said about this action? He was noted for hig ardor and ability in preach ing from, the Book of Revelations, (Of all the persons in the world, it seems to us that Burroughs was ‘about the last one to specify just what passage of the Scriptures should be read to the colored folks of this city. Rev. Simmons was within his rights and he seems to have known his rights, We cannot for the life of us understand why Walter B. Bur- roughs, in view of his antipathy to colored folks, better known to him as “niggers,” should have been as- signed to. a colored neighborhood, where he would come in direct con- tact with this class of people. It may have been that he could not stand the prickings of his own con- science. He could have moved on to the other place on his beat, espe- cially in view of the fact that, as Judge Haddon says, the matter came directly under the supervision of his own superior officer, Chief R. B. Jordan. We hope that it may be possible to transfer Officer Burroughs to an exclusive white neighborhood. But what about that 22nd chapter of Revelations? It is one of the most Here it is: And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 in the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there a tree of life, which bare twelve manners of fruits, and yield ed her fruit every month: and the eaves of the tree were for the heal- ing of the nations, $ And there shall be no more curse; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: “And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no. night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth. them light: and they shall reign forever and ever. 6 And he said unto me, These say- ings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. 7 Behold, 1 come quickly: Blessed is he tat Keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. § And I John saw these things, and heard them, And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to wor- ship before the feet of the angel Which showed me these things. 9 Then sayeth he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God, 10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, Jet him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly and my reward is’ with me, to give every man according as his work shail be. 13 Lam Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sor- cerers, and whoremongers, and mur Gerers, and idolators, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16 Jesus have sent mine angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the off. spring of David and the bright and morning star. 17 And the spirit and the bride say, Come, And let him that hear- eth’ say, Come. And let him tha’ is athirst come. And whosoever will let him take the water of life freely. 18 For I testify unto every mar that heareth the words of the pro- pheey of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are writ- ten in this book. 19 And if any man shall take away the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things, which are written in this book. 20 He that testifieth these things saith, Surely, I come quickly. Amen, Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, Amen. It was for reading these sacred words spec‘fically the fifteenth verse after he had ordered him to desist, that Officer Walter B. Burroughs hauled this humble sixty-six-year-old preacher to the station house, to a elon’s cell. 0, the pity of it! And then he carried him before that Christian judge and officer, learned in the Scriptures, a church communi- cant snd a worker in the Sunday School, for trial. He haled him be- fore T. Gray Haddon, who is con- scientious. He might as well have carried him to Judge John L. In- gram or any other jurist in this sec- tion and the result would have been the same. Let us pray God that this man, this officer, this child of the devil, this sinner, will go down on his knees in prayer and seek salvation from a forgiving Saviour. It would be well for the colored congregations to pray for him. wa) 5 Sore Sa oi Fact Finders pr. J. B. Shepard it was evident that those who had come here had a real purpose in view and were determined to carty out that pur- pose. In this they were aided by the business-like manner in which the conference was conducted by Dr. Shepard as the master of ceremonies. The Fact Finding opened with a bang Wednesday night with two re- ports which brought forth some live ly discussions. The first was that of Dr. Kelly Miller on the “Negro and the 18th Amendment” The discus- sions following the scholerly address showed that those present did not agree with Dean Miller that ‘‘South- erners favored prohibition first: on abcount of Negroes and second to protect their sons” and while there was a general agreement that the law a3 long as it is a law should be enforced there was no solid from presented to support the statement of Dean Miller that Negnoes were more duty bound to observe the law than were the whites. Following closely in. the. wake this discussion was the address 0 J. Allison Davis of Hampton Insti tute, who explicated the deplorable plight of the Negro in the industria field, Indipation after indfcatior was given that the Negro was no taking advantage of the opportunits offered him in the skilled and semi skilled vocations. This, however, di not bring about mucy surprise bu when the Hampton professor claime¢ that the real reason for the slipping of the Negro in this direction. wa: his refusal to be trained in th skilled and semi-skilled trades ther was murmur of astonishment.

The Sunday School is the seed of the Church. Children raised in idleness and sin will form the basis of corruption in the home in the government and in the nation. There is no power so potent to resist these evils as the Church of Christ. This is said regardless of the denomination for all of them teach the fundamental truths and endeavor to have their hearers as well as members practice them. A dollar invested in Church work will yield a hundred fold value to that invested anywhere else. A SURPRISE PARTY. Saturday night April 20th a few friends visited the home of Mr. W. E. L.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ```markdown ``` International Sunday School Lesson for May 27 THE EARLY MINISTRY OF JEREMIAH When people are bent on doing evil they are not apt to stay reformed, no matter how much they may weep at the time. Isaiah had been a very faithful prophet during the reigns of four kings in Judah. Enough deliverances from other warring nations had been received from God to make them eager to do right just by way of showing thanks if for no other reason. Both kings and people kept returning to the vile abominations under the name of worship which had been introduced from the surrounding idolatrous nations. Another great prophet is raised up to guide them into right and safe ways. Jeremiah was born in the same year as good king Josiah who made fine use of the Pentateuch, which had been discovered in cleaning out the Temple. At least the memory of that reform must be in the thinking of the older people. For forty years Jeremiah wrought through the reigns of five kings. We have five lessons, taken from his writings. Read the book of Jeremiah and also Lamentations, which were by Jeremiah. He was called the "Weeping Prophet," but he had much to lament over as Judah insisted on doing the wrong thing in spite of every call to righteousness. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN When called to his office work Jeremiah was modest in declaring his unfitness. He called him tell a "child." One is not apt to be very aggressive under such a self evaluation. God quickly did a way with that inferiority complex by telling him to consider. He it was that was commissioning him. Our Master, Teacher is able to equip any one for service to whom any special duty is assigned. The ordination service was completed as the hand of Jehovah touched his mouth. At once he was told to "speak unto all the people." Many laughed at him and most refused to heed the summons to repentence. Then this man, who just must help the people, reduced his appeals to writing and we have a collection of these addresses in the book we now study for five weeks. The answer of the people to Jeremiah's efforts on their beehail was the sentence "Thou shalt surely die." The princes of Judah reaffirmed this verdict. They did not want their sims showed up and so shouted down the man who talked of keeping the moral law and the laws of God. There was all too much expression of general opinion and no one thought the matter through as it might apply to him personally. They treated Jeremiah as a renegade because he said Jerusalem was overthrown if simers persisted in doing evil. He is a patriot indeed who is bold enough to speak against his ration when they are riding to a fall because of wrong doing. Later monuments are erected bearing the names of just such marters. When a formal trial came at the gate, the usual place of justice, Jeremiah saw that it was a fine opportunity to again tell them of their sins. He did not trim his message to please the jury but said "Amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Jehovah." He dismissed his own life by a wave of the hand. They could do to him "as is good and right in your eyes." Then their better judgment helped their guilty consciences to announce against themselves and to declare the prophet "Not guilty." He remained for the remnant of the great Jewish nation to reform their conduct and bring it in accord with their recent vote. It is the same case, and it is more than good scandling words.

The Nipigon River, Famous Playground of Celebrities, Regaining Position as Canada's Premier Trout Stream To Be Opened by Famous Atwater Kent Stars President Herbert Hoover, in accepting honorary chairmanship of the National Music Week Committee, to be inaugurated Sunday, May 5, by eleven operatic and concert stars during the Atwater Kent Radio Hour, declares that music appreciation should be promoted as one of the liberal arts of life. "Cultural development of a people," he states in his message to the National Music Week observers throughout the country, "must proceed in step with material well being if they are to enjoy the fullest happiness." This is the third National Music Week in which Atwater Kent artists have served to bring radio listeners in touch with a cultural movement that takes the time and attention of the President of the United States, the Governors of many states, mayors of cities and other distinguished men and women. It provides one of the most elaborate arrays of musical talent yet heard in a single radio hour. Reinald Werrenrath, famous American baritone, and Louise Homer, American contralto of the concert and operatic stage, will sing side by side with the winners of the Atwater Kent Foundation's National Radio Auditions of 1927 and 1928—Agnes Davis, soprano, of Denver, Colorado, and Hazel Arth, contralto, of Washington, D.C., respectively. In addition to these Maria Kurenko, the distinguished Russian coloratura soprano, Katherine Meisle, contralto, and Nina Morgana, soprano, will be heard together with Allen McQuahae, tenor; William Simmons, baritone; Arthur Hackett, tenor, and Tosche Seidel, violinist. The Atwater Kent Quartet will also be given a place on the program and concert numbers and accompaniments for the singers and instrumental soloists will be played by the Atwater Kent Orchestra under the direction of Josef Pasterneck. The concert of May 5 will not only open National Music Week, but it will close the fall and winter series of Atwater Kent Radio. Journals the summer series beginning Sunday, May 12. The Nipigon River, crossed by the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway and emptying into the northern part of Lake Superior, is 921 miles west of Montreal, 742 miles northwest of Toronto and within easy access of such American cities as Buffalo, Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago. This celebrated waterway is rapidly regaining its former position as Canada's premier trout stream, which yielded the world's record square - tallied speckled brook trout—a 14½ pound taken by Dr. J. W. Cook of Port William, Ontario. The Nipigon has affirmed splendid sport for such widely known personages as the Prince of Wales, the late Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana, Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, Tacodore Roosevelt, the Duke of Connaught and a host of others. For several years past the Nipigon did not yield so many monster trout owing to the erection of hydro-electric plants which interfered with the maintenance of a steady water-level, but these establishments are now completed and Mrs. Louise Girvan, manager of the Nipigon River Bunglow Camp, reported recently that at the close of last season many fine speckled brook trout—a 14½ pound taken by Dr. J. W. Cook of Port William, Ontario. The Nipigon has affirmed splendid sport for such widely known personages as the Prince of Wales, the late Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana, Rev.

Known to white men as early as 1612, the region of the Nipigon still stubbornly opposes the advance of civilization, and despite the recently-erected power plants it remains a wilderness. Its cold waters breed fish with backbones of steel—and chips on their shoulders! Nipigon River Camp, a series of individual bangalows catering around a main house affords comfortable living quarters.

Little Rock greeted the insurance moguls with the lavish hospitality characteristic of the capital of the wonder state. The Century Life Insurance Company, President A. E. Bush, Secretary B. G. Olive, Jr., Director G. W. Ish, and Counsel B. G. Clanton as the entertainment committee, provided for every need, and even the unexpressed desires of the visitors. On Wednesday night a welcome meeting was held at the First Congregational Church. Speakers were: A. E. Bush, G. Booke, P. L. Dorman, E. T. Campbell, G. Clanton, Bishop E. T. Donby, and President Pace. White financial circles of the city were represented by Moorehead, Wright, Little Rock's banker, who appeared at one regular business sessions and discussed investing company funds, expressing the opinion that the success or failure of insurance companies to make money depended upon their investments, and urging that the investment side of the business be divorced from the purely insurance phase. Characteristic of the frank but not acrid discussion were the replies of Overton, of Victory, Lewis, of Afro-American, and other leaders, who discussed his viewpoint and in some instances disagreed. Mr. Overton declared it was the policy of his company to invest its money where it might do the most in racial help and uplift. Steps were taken for the establishment of a medical examiner's bureau and for the establishment of an actuarial scholarship fund. Medical directors and physicians present were Dr. G. W. Ish, Little Rock; Dr. C. W. Snyder, Louisville; Dr. Numa P. G. Adams, Chicago; Dr. R. W. Hill, Dr. L. T. Burbridge, and Dr. P. Creuzot, New Orleans; Dr. J. E. Walker and Dr. O. W. Hodge, Memphis, and Dr. W. A. Method, Columbus. Among the representatives of companies were A. L. Lewis and W. H. Lee, Afro-American, Jacksonville, Fla.; A. E. Martin, George W. Lee, L. M.
