CHARLES KELLY'S STATEMENT.
Charles Kelly, who resides at 802 1.2 N. Second Street stated that on Saturday afternoon he and his wife were sitting on the porch when a colored man was sitting in an automobile in front of his house. A man was talking to the man in the automobile. He could not hear what he was saying. The man on the side walk wore a light cap. He had a bandage on his head. The man shot the man in the car twice and then he put the pistol in his shirt.
GOT OUT CAR
The man in the car got out and went north on Second St. The man who did the shooting went to Duval St. and up Duval St. to First St. J. H. Booth of the Manhattan For Hire Co. stated that he lives at 812 N. Second St. He had just driven to when he saw a man wearing a ligt cap and wearing a bandage around his head fire at the man in the car. The man got out of the car on the driveway side and the man ran around the car and shot him again. The injured man ran to the sidewalk and the man fired on him again. The wounded man dropped on his hand and knee and went up Second Street north . . .
WENT INTO A YARD.
He went into the yard next to his house. The man who shot him went down to Duval St. and went up in the direction of First St. When the officers came Booth showed them where the wounded man was. Harris told the officers who shot him. He was carried to the hospital. Decatur Strother was brought in handcuffed and Booth identified him as the one
who did the shooting. .....
Strother led the detectives a long
and gloomy chase. He was evidently
making for West Point. He was
caught in a thicket between Walker-
ton and Lestor Manor. The officers
engaged in the chase wore Detective Sergeants F. I. Gentry O.
D. Garton C. C. Eddleton, T. G.
Walton, R. B. Sterling and George
W. Wills.
STRUCK WITH IRON
Strother stated that he had a row with Joe Harris at Rose and Fell Streets. just above Happyland Amusement Park. Harris struck him over the head with a piece of iron. He went home and got his pistol meeting him at Second and Duval Sts., where he shot him. There were three warrants out for Strother. One was for assaulting and beating Joe Harris, another was for shooting Joe Harris and the other was for killing Joe Harris.
An inquest was held in the cases of Gertrude Anderson and Lillian Robinson in Coroner Whitfield's office. Wednesday, who were shot and killed by John Anderson, husband and father respectively or the two deceased women. Fannie White, sister of John Anderson stated that she resides at 702 N. Third St. and that John Anderson resides at 602 N. Third St. On the 21st inst. about 3:30 A. M. John came to her sisters apartment at 702 broke open the door, searched the place until he found his pistol in the bureau drawer.
OTHER TESTIMONY
She told him not to go in her things. He did not tell her what he wished with the pistol.
Mallinda Anderson stated that Gertrude Anderson was her mother and she lived at 735 N. Second St.
On Friday 21st inst. John Anderson shot them at 735 N. Second St. He climbed through the window in the middle room, got across the bed where she was and went into the front room. She saw him take a pistol from his pocket while he was standing at the foot of her mother's bed. Her mother asked him for some money. He did not say anything but shot her.
THE BOY'S STATEMENT
William Robinson said: I am 15 years old. Gertrude Anderson was my mother and Lillian Robinson
was my sister. When John Anderson began shooting I was awakened by the noise. I was asleep in the middle room. I got under my bed and saw Lillian run to the window in the front room and call Mrs. Bradley. H<sub>c</sub> shot her-while she was at the window, and then he jumped out of the front window.
EARLY IN THE MORNING. . .
John Anderson came to the house about 3 o'clock A. M. on Friday. Gertrude asked him for money. He said he had no money. She said if he did not get her some money, she would have him arrested. He said if he went to the penitentiary, when he got out, he would kill her. He hit her then and went down the front steps. Some time after 5 A. M. he came back and shot her.
SAID HE'D RAISE HELL.
Arthur Mason, 615 N. Second St. said that on Friday morning, between 2:30 and 3 o'clock John Anderson was in the center of Jackson St. near Second St. talking to himself. No one was near him. Henry Morris laughed and said: "Look at him talking to himself." Anderson came to the corner, showed a pistol and said he was going to raise plenty of hell before morning. When Mason saw Anderson again, he was coming out of 735 N. Second St. with a pistol in his hand. He went through a side alley towards Third St.
June 25, 1929.
A man named Pat in the Penitentiary bottom saw John Anderson on Gamble's Hill Park around ten o'clock and he told another boy who called up Police Headquarters. Anderson went down to the canal where he was captured. Three plain clothes detectives arrested him. He told them that he had decided to surrender himself tonight (Tuesday). He said that he had sold his gun in order to get something to eat.
. ____
I had been over to the Police Court and had left there for the Richmond Bureau of Health Department, where I had secured a list of deaths of colored people. Funeral Director C. P. Hayes dawn in to
file the death certificate of John Milton (Crematory) Harris and later I went into the Detective Headquartera where that keen-witted skillful Chief of the Bureau, Captain A. S. Wright has charge. The sergeant remarked: "We have some news for you. John Anderson is in there with Captain Wright. He was captured at about 16:30 in Gambles Hill Park."
THE PRISONER'S STORY.
It was then only 11 o'clock. Shortly afterwards the door of Captain Wright's office was opened and the order was given to call the wagon. I was ushered into the office where permission was given to me to interview John Anderson. I lost no time in doing this. He told his story. Said he: "I was there Thursday night be between 10:30 and 11 o'clock. My wife nagged me into doing what I did. She wanted money. I had cleaned "Tap" Turner's car that afternoon. I got some sandwiches and carried them to her
OFFERED HER MONEY.
"She said she did not want them.
I offered her the money that I had made.
It was $4.40. She refused to take it. She said she would have me arrested the next day. I left her.
I went to my sister's house.
702 N. Third Street. Her name is Emma Anderson. I had my gun there. I returned, came up the back way, between five and six o'clock, crawled through the window over the bed in which my daughter slept and went into the front room and fired on them.)
LEFT THE CITY
"I went out the front way, through the side alley to Third St. out Third to Hospital St. I left the city." b.
When questioned as to where he went he would not tell. I asked him how many miles away did he go; five, ten fifteen or twenty. He said less than twenty. He had no where to go. He intended to surrender him self to the police that night. John Anderson is tall, very dark clean-faced and skimly built. He said that he intended to tell the whole truth. His statements tallied accurately with other information given.
ON THE WAY TO PRISON.
"The wagon is here" was the in-
formation given. Captain Wright wanted to know if we were through in the affirmative. John Anderson, with a detective who had his hand with our interview. We answered holding him in the rear of the upper waist-band of his pantaphons went out through the doorway to the waiting patrol wagon, where he was conveyed to the lock-up. What will be done with him is now the question. A mild-mannered individual no one would be disposed to believe that he could be guilty of the crime now decreted against him. .....
L. A SORROWING GROUP.
He killed his wife, his stepdaughter, who is the mother of a babe and his own wife was soon to become a mother. It is another leaf from the chapter or life. His family his children, his sisters all share in the sorrows which have come to them. What will the end be? ...
(Special by John Mitchell, Jr.)
Within a few yards of where the slain bodies of Gertrude Anderson and her daughter Lillian Robinson lay Decatur Straus allies Kalam Strother shot and killed Joe Harris Saturday night June 22 1929 as he came up in an automobile. Three shots are alleged to have been fired two before Joe alighted from the car and the other afterwards. The men are said to have had a quarrel a short time preceding. The officers were quickly on the scene. Harris was hurried to St. Philips Hospital and died Sunday morning. His remains were turned over to Funeral Director A. D. Price.
MATERIAL WITNESSES HELD.
Percy Austin alias "Stick-pin" 100 E. Marshall Street and John King 529 Prentiss Street are being held as material witnesses and were endecorating to secure their release on bond Monday morning. Fannie Whit 702 N. Third Street was also held as a material witness in the John Anderson case as was James McCoy, 602 N. Third Street. There was much excitement about noon Saturday 22nd inst. when it was reported that John Anderson and been seen on Second Street. Officers with riot guns rushed to the place.
THE WRONG MAN
A colored man was seen running
from house to house. He proved not to be John Anderson. Much disgust has been caused at the Police Department Headquarters due to the failure of John Anderson to surrender himself. They argue he must know that he cannot get away with such a crime as that and that all favorable consideration that he might receive would be dissipated by his running away and continuing to try to elude the police. The dragonot is being spread all over this country and he will be finally located
THE WOMEN'S FUNERALS.
The funerals of Gertrude Anderson and her daughter took place last Monday 2:30 P. M. at the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church with Rev. Dr. R. V. Peyton officiating. It is reported that John Anderson has heretofore been a member of the Second Baptist Church. . . .
Another death took place. John Milton Harris nicknamed John Crematory dropped dead at about 5 A. M. Monday. Funeral Director C. P. Hash has charged of his remains.
THOSE DEADLY WOUNDS
Gertrude Anderson was shot thru the liver the ball passed through the pancreas and also on the back of the left shoulder. Her daughter was shot through the heart and in the front of the right arm. Both women were accordingly shot twice.
(Special by John Mitchell Jr.)
John Anderson shot and killed Gertrude Anderson his wife and Lillian Robinson, his step-daughter Friday morning. June 21st at about 5:30 o'clock. He entered the house through the rear window upstairs and after the murders made his escape. His wife was soon to become a mother. I heard about the tragedy at about 6:30 A. M. and hastened to 725 North Second Street where it took place. Groups of colored folks had gathered, while the Police Department was busy endeavoring to locate the murderer.
A BLOODY CHAMBER
No one seemed to know much about the affair as to how it occurred until I reached the house.
PRICE. FIVE CENTS.
TER IS
Says He.
RAUS
A rent sign was on the front. Upstairs in the front room, where the slaying took place were members of the family. A double bed in the north side of the room with a bloody spot in the centre, about 18 inches in diameter showed where the life blood of the two women had ebbed, Bullet holes were in the wails. Both were in the bed at the time. The story told was that Anderson, who came back and forth to the house, living at the time with his Sister Mrs. Martha Wood 602 North Third Street upstairs, came into the house about 3 o'clock that morning.
A STORY OF THE QUARREL
He and his wife had some words about his not bringing any money to take care of the children. He left in a fit of anger, returning shortly after 5 o'clock when without saying anything he opened fire on the women in the bed killing both of them. He had come in the back way walking up the steps in the rear. A window opened on the back porch. Through this window he crawled and passing through the rear room went into the front one took the lives of his wife and her grown daughter.
MANY CHILDREN
He then hurriedly left the room. His wife's youngest child is two years of age. William H. Douglass. 16 E. Baker Street is Gertrude Anderson's brother. John Anderson had five children by Gertrude Anderson. Edward Robinson. Peter Robinson are brothers of Gertrude Anderson while Malinda Robinson. 916 St. James St. is mother of Gertrude Anderson. Marie Robinson is sister of Gertrude Anderson. The murdered woman is the mother of 8 children. Their names are: Malina nickname Cosy. Dorothy Gertrude Johnny and Thelma. His children are: Charley and Waverly.
. THE TWO WOMEN'S BODIES.
Likian Robinson is John Anderson's step-daughter, being his wife's child. Both had children when they married. Going down to Funeral Director F. H. Hayes' establishment I found the two women laid out on cooling boards. No autopsy had been made to determine the track of the bullets. It was a veritable slaughter pen, with three lives taken but with only two visible as Anderson's wife was soon to become a mother.

FAMOUS TOWER:
TO BUILD LARGEST OIL-CRACKER
Fred B. Lloyd, President of the Petroleum Conversion Corporation, to whom belongs the credit for engineering the deal between his corporation and the Shell Co. for the erection of the largest oil cracking unit ever built in the world. (Herbert Photos, N. Y.)
About five hundred years ago the Tower of Brandenburg was erected. It is one of the sights that will be seen by the delegates from America to the International Advertising Convention to be held in Germany, this year. (Herbert).
BOUGHT FOR TWENTY-FOUR DOLLARS
History tells us Hendrik Hudson bought the little island of Manhattan for Twenty-Four Dollars. Since then, much has happened. The photo shows how the nose of Manhattan (The Battery) looks from an aeroplane. Where once trees grew in profusion, tall massive steel structures rear their heads into the skies. The Hudson River washes one side, the East River the other, and New York Harbor is in the middle. How many million dollars the little island that was bought for Twenty-Four Dollars, is now worth, few if any reality appraisers can tell. Billions, however, could not buy it now. (Herbert N. Y.)

GREAT POLITICAL BATTLE
The action of the Anti-Smith Independent State Convention Tuesday the 18th in Roanoke in nominating Dr. William M. Brown professor of Psychology at the Washington and Lee University at Lexington Va. as a candidate for Governor of this State launches a political contest closely akin to the one of Adjunctor Days. Bishop James Cannon Jr.' the militant churchman who occupies the position of General William Mahone who was a central figure, in the political affairs of this country for many years.
Political shrewdness and genuine stalemanship have marked the actions of these shrewd politicians up to this point. The "wind is blowing their way" at present and they are setting and adjusting their sails accordingly. There are "rich political pickings" in the offing, thanks to the short ballot policy of Governor Harry F. Byrd. That distinguished political leader has before him his greatest political puzzle.
This State campaign will not be a Republican campaign but will be heralded as a genuine Democratic Dry contest as against a Democratic Wet one. The regular Democrats are handicapped by the open support of Hon. Alfred E. Smith of New York, a regular Democrat and Hon. John J. Raskob, a wet Republican, who has recently embraced Democracy in the interest of the "wet" cause. Governor Byrd is radically "dry" but he is leading wet forces in this campaign, so to speak, as well as the dry ones. . .
What can he do about it? He cannot repudiate either ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith or Chairman John J. Raskob without becoming nationally irregular as far as the Democratic Party is concerned. That the Republicans will simply cooperate with these Independent Dry Democrats is a foregone conclusion. It is already "written in the bond."
The independent elements can count upon the loyal support of the Republican Administration, for as goes Virginia, so will go the other rebellious Southern States. So far as the public is advised, the issue will not be personally against "Al" Smith or against his religion but against his championship of the cause of the whiskey elements in this country.
It is time for the colored voters to organize and ally themselves with either one side or the other. The Democrats who a short time ago were yelling against the Negro will find it "might comforting" to have these same individuals standing side by side with them at the polls to stem the tide, now steadily setting in against the Democratic organization and against all that its leaders hold dear.
Thoughtful concerted action is needed and meetings for discussion, free and unconfined, is in order so that the average citizen of color will be able to decide whether he will support the Democratic organization under "Al" Smith, Raskob and Byrd or the Independent Democratic organization under the leadership of Cannon, Brown, Stemp or Hoover. A correct conclusion will do the colored folks good and be of untold benefit to them in their political condition in this Grand Old Com-

Memo Overruling the Demurrier
The declaration alleges that the plaintiff is a citizen of the United States and resides in the first prescinct of Madison Ward in the city of Richmond, Virginia. That the first two above named defendants were the duly appointed judges and the last named the duly appointed clerk at a primary election held in the city of Richmond on the 3rd of April, 1928, for the purposes of nominating candidates on the Democratic ticket for mayor, councilman, and alderman. That the plaintiff, who is a Negro, was on that day a male citizen of the United States, over twenty-one years of age, in all respects qualified to vote in the opening general election, and that he was and has been for some time part a bona fide member of the Democratic party of the State of Virginia.
19 KRS 10
The action is brought to recover damages for the refusal by the defendants to permit the plaintiff to vote in the above mentioned primary solely because he was a Negro. Defendants have filed a demurrow to the declaration. This raises the question whether the action of the defendants in excusing the plaintiff from voting was infringement of the rights guaranteed to him by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. The action is brought under Section 43 of Title 8 of U.S. C. A.
Virginia Constitution
Section 36 of the Constitution of Virginia provides as follows:
regulae provincias
"The General Assembly shall enact such laws as are necessary and proper for the purpose of securing the regularity and purity of general, local and primary elections, and preventing and punishing any corrupt practices in connection therewith; and shall have power, in addition to other penalties and punishments now or hereafter prescribed by law for such offences, to provide that persons convicted of them shall thereafter be disqualified from voting or holding office."
Pursuant to this authority the General Assembly of Virginia has provided (Code 1924, Chapter 15, Section 221) a comprehensive plan in relation to primary elections, providing therein for participation by any political party which shall at the preceding presidential election have polled at least one-fourth of the total vota cast in such election.
Applies to All Nominations
The provisions of this chapter apply to the nominations of all candidates for office to be nominated by a direct primary. The right is granted to the party authorities of any political party qualified to participate in such a primary, to adopt another method for the nomination of candidates for office, but when participation in the direct primary is decided on by such party authorities, the time when the same is to be held, the conduct of the appointments of judges and clerks, the method of holding the election and returning the ballots, the appointment of commissioners to canvass the vote, the duty of the State Board of Canvassers in relation to declaring the result, the provision for securing order at the polls, the prevention of frauds in the election, are all provided for in like manner as in the general election, including provision for the payment of the expenses of holding and conducting the primary, payment of judges and clerks of election, furnishing necessary stationery and supplies, rent of polling places, furnishing and distributing ballot boxes and poll books, etc., in the same way and to the same extent as in a general election.
Who May Vote
Section 228 provides who may vote and includes "all persons qualified to vote at the election for which the primary is held, and not disqualified by reasons of other requirements in the law of the party to which he belongs." (Italics added.) It further provides that no person shall vote except for the candidates of the party to which he belongs and which he supported in the preceding election. The declaration alleges and the demurrer admits that the plaintiff was excluded from voting in the direct primary because of a resolution adopted by the State Democratic Convention in 1924, pursuant to the authority of the Statute, declaring that only white persons should participate in a Democratic primary.
Counsel for defendants admit, as of course they must, that a statute of a State which attempted to exclude Negroes from voting in a Democratic primary would be in conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution (Nixon v. Herndon, 273 U. S. 536), but insist that the discrimination against the plaintiff complained of here was the act of an individual or a group of individuals acting as such, and therefore not within the purview of the Federal Constitution.
History and Circumstances
History and Circumstances
The history and circumstances of the adoption of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution have no place in this discussion. For the present it is sufficient to point out that the Fourteenth Amendment determines that persons born in or naturalized according to law are citizens of the United States and of the State where they reside. That no State shall abridge the privileges and immunities of any citizen or deny him equal protections of the laws. To the states enforced that no law will be made or enforced to diminish any one of the privileges and immunities of the people of the United States, and it directs Congress to adopt such laws as may be necessary to enforce the amendment. As construed by the Supreme Court (Civil Rights Cases, 109 U. W. 3: James v. Bowman, 190 U. W. 127), the first section of the Amendment is a prohibitory measure and its prohibitions operate against States and not against private persons.
The Point at Issue
The point, therefore, on which this
election officer, the defender, was
THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA
an official act or a personal act, that is to say, was in the performance of a duty enjoined on them by statute or was merely individual and personal, and authorised by a right important in the political organization to which they belong. Defensants say that the latter is the correct party. That affiliation with a political party is not a matter of right but of party regulation and that the legislature as such has no authority to fix standards of membership. Government x. Harris, 27 F (2d) 942. They say in effect that there is no legal ban on the formation of a political party based wholly on color or on religious belief or on sex or any other standard which the party chooses to adopt, and that because of this, the General Assembly of Virginia in recognizing the right madeno delegation of power but only recognized the existence of the power where it has always resided.
The Way Out
There can be no doubt, at least so far as the State of Virginia is convinced that a political party may refuse to avail itself of the privileges of the direct primary and may nominate candidates to be voted for in a general or special election in any of the ways in which such nominations were made before the introduction of the primary. Candidates for public office may be made such by petition, by action of a caucus, or by a convention. Indeed they may be nominated in primary conducted by the party under its own rules and at its own expense. But if because of the greater safeguards which the law throws around a legalized primary, or because in such case the expense is borne by the State, a party elects to adopt this method of naming its candidates for public office, it may do so and still preserve the absolute right to determine who shall participate, is a much more delicate question.
A. Modern Proposition
The primary as a means of naming candidates for a place on the official ballot is comparatively modern. Its spread in the last quarter of a century has been steady and it is today in practically every State the exclusive method adopted by the two great political parties for the nomination of candidates for office, State and Federal. Its growth and adoption as a vital part of the election system arose because of the importance to the public to "give vitality to the constitutional guaranty of a free and untrammeled ballot." Keith Language
This purpose may not be better stated than repeating the language of Judge Keith in Commonwealth v Wilcox, 111 Va., page 859, as follows:
"We know, as a matter of common knowledge, that the purpose of holding a primary election is to select a candidate to be voted for by a party organization at the ensuing general or special election. We know that the person selected at the primary election to be voted for at the general or special election will receive the votes of the members of the party to which he belongs and for which the primary is held, and if both political organizations, or all political organizations, into which community is divided, or all primary elections, it necessarily follows that the person nominated at the primary becomes the nominee of his party to be voted for at the general election, and that one of the primary nominees will ultimately be elected to the office.
"In other words, the primary when adopted by a political party becomes an inseparable part of the election machinery, and if a candidate to be voted for at the general election is to be selected at a primary, it is impossible to secure the regularity and purity of the general election without in the first place guarding against irregularity and fraud at the primary election. The primary election constitutes a necessary part, and fulfils an essential function in the plan to promote honesty in the conduct of elections—elections which shall faithfully reflect and register the unbought will of the electors.
"If there be fraud in the primary election, which is the very root from which the whole system of regulation springs, it is vain to regulate the conduct of general elections, for the fraud by which the nominee at the primary election is chosen enters into and is an ineradicable constituent in the result. However fair the general election may be, if at that election men have no choice but to vote for candidates who have been nominated by fraudulent practices at primaries, or else to desert their party, which would be in most instances but to throw away their votes, without achieving any good result, the effect of the election must be the consumption of a fraud and the defeat of the will of the people, for 'of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grape's.'
"We are of opinion that section 122-0 is not only cognate and german to, congruous with and in furtherance of the object expressed in the title of chapter 10 of the Code, which fully satisfies the requirements of the Constitution, without resort to any liberality of construction, but that primary elections in their nature have such a relation to and bearing upon general elections, that the omission to bring them within the law would have left the plan devised by the legislature for securing the regularity and purity of elections wholly abortive and ineffectual."
What the Supreme Court Said
In Nixon v. Herndon, supra, the Supreme Court said that "the same reasons that allow a recovery for denying the plaintiff a vote at a final election allow it for denying a vote at the primary election that may determine the final result," and that struing a statute Texas providing that the state shall a Negro be able to participate in a Democratic Party primary held in the State of Texas, etc., declared the statute an infringement of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Dodging the Issue
The statute of Virginia, unlike that of Texas, does not in terms exclude the Negro, but gives to the party participating the right to do so. The result is the same. The legislature, pursuant to constitutional authority, having undertaken to regulate primary elections and to authorize them to be held at the public expense and to provide the same rules and regulations applicable to an election, may not indirectly any more than it may directly exclude a duly qualified voter who declares himself to be an adherent to the party participating in

The Fourteenth Amendment
The Fourteenth Amendment compels the adoption of what is called impartial suffrage. Its purpose was to establish all over the United States one people and that each of these may understand the constitutional fact that his privileges and immunities cannot be abridged by State authority, and that these rights are not confined to any class or race but comprehend all within its scope.

We hear a great deal about the illustrious transgressors of our Constitution—all of it to their credit, by the way.
They must have been good men. I cannot believe they were ignorant, tricky or designing; the destiny of a great nation depended on their integrity of purpose—their wisdom of action. They lived at a time when, "an appeal to arms, and to the Lord of hosts," was all that was left for them.
One of their permanent creations was metallic money—a highly essential medium in any sort of commercial transaction. These men caused to be stamped deep into the precious metal, "In God We Trust." I do not doubt the absolute sincerity of the declaration. I believe they were right, not wrong.
We are supposed to be living today, in a stage of great enlightenment—in a day of supermen. We are drifting rapidly from the old ways. In this particular and highly-important declaration of our forefathers, some of us rush into print with the assertion that it is a mere fabrication, based on superstition and ignorance! If that be true, then, why not do away with the rest of the historic document?
To trust in a supreme being does not fit into the ideas of some of our people. They can't bear to admit their dependence on any higher power. Listen, now; They will, in time, come to a defiance of all law; if we can't trust in a just God, as our forefathers did, shall we put our trust in Man? Men who today "swear by" the sacred Constitution—who preach adherence to the sacred document, peddle the propaganda of the very people who seek to overthrow it! To proclaim a trust in God when we don't do anything of the kind—if not hypocrisy it's just plain lying! Fortunately for our beloved country, the people who live in the "Faith of Our Fathers" are in the majority. I can't help shuddering at the growth and publicity of the tribe who don't believe in anything but themselves!

NEGRO ORDER VICTOR
IN SUIT BY SHRINERS
Other Suits Recalled
Washington, June 3.—The right of Negroes of the "Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine" to use the similar name and the titles, emblems and regalia of the white Shriners was upheld today by the Supreme Court.
The opinion, handed down by Associate Justice Vandevant, held that the silence of white Shriners for many years barred them from restraining the Negroes. The suit was begun in 1918 in a Texas State court by Shriners in Houston against the local temple of the Negro order.
Texas Supreme Court Reversed
The Texas Supreme Court granted an injunction. In reversing the judgment Justice Vandevant said:
"There is no evidence of a fraudulent intent on the part of the Negro order or of a purpose on its part to induce any one, whether Mason or non-Mason, to believe that it was the white order or that they were parts of the same fraternity. On the contrary, it is shown that the Negro Order always held itself out as entirely distinct from the white order, and as open only to members of the negro Masonic fraternity. True, there was much imitation, but this is shown to have been in the nature of emulation rather than false pretence."
Had Knowledge
Pointing out that "it is established that from the beginning the white order had knowledge of the existence and imitative acts and practices of the Negro order," the opinion says, the "evidence indubitably shows that with such knowledge the white order silently stood by for many years while the negro order was continuing its imitative acts and practices, and was establishing new lodges, enlarging its membership, ac-

quiring real property in its corporate name, and investing substantial sums in the copied paraphernalia, regalia and emblems.
"It also is shown by the uncontricted testimony of several witnesses—one a life member of the white order—that a large proportion of the copied paraphernalia, regalia, emblems and insignia used by the Negro order, its lodges and members, was purchased from or through members of the white order, and that in one instance a lodge of that order, preparatory to moving to new quarters, sold the paraphernalia and regalia used in the old quarters to a lodge of the Negro order in the same city."

"But these objections came too late" he said, "to overcome or weaken the force of the conduct of the white order during the thirty years preceding the earlier of the two suits. After that period of inaction and seeming acquiescence, it was too late to resuscitate the original exclusive right for which the white order is now contending.
"What we have said of the evidence demonstrates, as we think, not only that there was obvious and long continued laches on the part of the white order, but also that the circumstances were such that its laches barred it from asserting an exclusive right, or seeking equitable relief, as against the Negro order."
Sunday School Lesson
Three lessons are given to the book of Ezekiel and plans should be made now to read the 48 chapters within that time. Visions and symbols abound. Much will be found to stimulate thinking which cannot be explained. You will be lifted, as was the author, into realms of his spiritual and come to an even greater conception of the reality of this Almighty.
Ezekiel had been carried to Babylon from Jerusalem in the deportation during the reign of Jehoiacinth, in 597 B.C. Daniel was already by a still earlier transfer of captivity. Keep in mind that the overflow of Jerusalem was 586 B.C. Our author, prophet and pastor began his work at the age of 30, which was the usual time to enter the priory office, and such his father Buzi had. The very day is indicated when his ministry began, and it translates into our June 20. The place is Tel-aviv, located on a canal in Babylonia. Indicated passages for special research are Ezekiel 1:1-3; 2:1-32; 8:4-1; 11:23-25; 24:15-28; 33:30-33.
The deported Israelites were establishing themselves in new homes and were taking up local industries; though they still had hopes of an early return to Jerusalem. Their human mind and tendencies were changed by the forced change of the God still had His purpose in them, and Ezekiel commissioned to speak His word to them. Amid all humanism and transport of visions Ezekiel understood his work as a messenger. Knowing Jehoah's purpose he could say that the roll "was in my mouth as honey for sweetness."
"My words" was the burden of the message to be delivered. Ezekiel was a home missionary, though in a foreign land, and he had the advantage in knowing the language.
The task would be hard, indeed, for as yet the people did not have a mind to listen. They were styled "impudent and hardhearted." Evangeliking is rarely easy. Though the greatest good is freely offered multitudes are wholly indifferent to God's gift of love. For such an attitude Ezekiel was prepared in advance. Rebufs and open insults have usually been part of the experiences of missionaries, but they could always know that the greatest insult was thrown in the face of Jehovah, whose representatives they were. "Adamant, harder than flint" was the attacking and withstanding power of Ezekiel's "forehead." Their indifference or even rebellion was not to make him afraid.
For seven days the ambassador sat in silence as men looked on and wondered. Then they were told of the deprivation he had to report from Jerusalem, where basest iniquities were still being practised openly. When Jerusalem fell under the attack of Nebuchadnezzar a few years later and their brothers were also brought to Babylonia, profound respect was paid to Ezekiel because events had occurred according to his pronouncements as a messenger of the Lord.
The King's business often calls for a total disregard of all self interests. When "the desire of thine eyes," Ezekiel's wife, was taken away the prophet was commanded not to display any of the usual evidences of mourning but to renew his public appeals to repentance even on that very day.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON for THE STORY OF EZEKIEL
Ezekiel 3:4-11; 24:15-18
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D.D.
Lessons are given to the book of Ezekiel to read the 48 chapters within that time. We will be found to stimulate thinking. You will be lifted, as was the author, and come to an even greater conception of what had been carried to Babylon from Jerusalem, the reign of Jehoiacin, in 597 B.C. Daniel further transfer of captivity. Keep in mind that was 586 B.C. Our prophet and pass of 30, which was the usual time to enter in father Buzi held. The very day it indicted, and it translates into our June 26. That a canal in Babylon, Indirect passages of 1:1-3; 2:1-32; 8:4-4; 11:22-28; 24:15-24 reported Israelites were establishing themselves in local industries; though they settled in Jerusalem.

Lings's business often calls for a total disregard "the desire of thine eyes," Ezekiel's wife was commanded not to display any of the out to renew his public appeals to repent.
THE TEST OF A GOOD SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Sunday Schools are judged by many standards. Commonly people form their opinion of a school from the building in which it is held, from its size, the order of its sessions, its organization, its popularity in the community or by a combination of some of these or similar standards. There is only one su
promе test of a gool Sunday Schoo
and that is the personal test. The
goal of our work is spiritual. The
method is the evangelism of teachi-
ing. The measure of our success is
in terms of Christian character. Any
Sunday School is fulfilling its real
purpose to the extent that it is suc-
ceeding in leading its members to
live lives of obedience and loyalty
to the will of tre Heavenly Father
and of loving, self-denying service
to men. If it is doing this, it is a
good school. If it is not suppeding
in this no matter how big it may
be how strong an organization it
may possess, or how complete an
equipment it may have, it is a failu-

WHITE LADIES TESTIFY
The case of Rose Leigh Anderson, 1209 North First Street, attracted much attention. She was charged with stealing a dress, valued at $10, from the Kaufmann Co. No representative of the company appeared and the case went over; but two white ladies, for whom Rose had worked, testified as to her good character. One of them stated that she had known her ever since she was born. The one with whom she stays now said that she was absolutely honest, had no need to steal, as she was saving and had money when arrested. A white gentleman who accompanied the ladies was equally as positive. They told Judge Haddon that they would return to appear in her behalf at any time. Their testimony created a profound impression.

Hennimway, the going being difficult.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Just by way of diversion we now had an argument as to which way the nearest farm-house lay from where we were. We had determined to postpone trying to reach Fair Oaks until morning and wanted tood and shelter for the night.
I thought that I had seen farm buildings on our right, about a mile back on the trail. Hemmingway insisted that they were on the left.
“There is no use quarreling about it” I said finally. “There is nothing to prevent each of us going the way we thinks is right. It’s a cincthe we will both find shelter if we keep goo-far enough.”
So we separated. We had grown intensely tired of one another any way, especially since hunger had put an edge on our tempers. Hemmingway started southwest and I hung all off over toward the north. It grew very rapidly after the room in stone, but the snow on the ground, made it fairly easy to see

and I was able to keep up quite a fast pace.
But the fun-house I thought I had seen did not materialize. I could have seen it in my hall recorder, but better than I gave up. I pushed on further. I did not like the idea of going back to living-mumway and admitting that I was wrong Surely I kept on in the same direction I had been going. I would eventually reach some sort of shelter and food!
It was a long time, though, before I saw a welcoming light. I can't say just how long, but I would have given several hours. I was so thoroughly fatigued that I could just barely drag one ski after the other.
But when I saw the light I quickened my pace and made for it. I was afraid that the people who lived there would go to bed before I could arrive.
As I passed over the snow I had a curious sense of familiarity, a feeling as if I had been there before. It wasn't so much that I recognized anything specific, but I just felt more or less at home. There was something in the air.
All at once the moon came out, and as it did the building toward which I was heading loomed large against the sky.
I knew at once why the neighborhood had seemed familiar. The building was the Old Soldiers' Home, and I had walked all day to return at night to the very spot from which I had started!
I had no very cheerful vision of a warm welcome upon my return to the Home, but it was a case of any port in a storm, so I continued on my way. The Home was still half a mile distant when the light went out. But I plugged on. I felt pretty sure that I could get in without waking any one up, which I decided would be much the better way because I could avoid explanations.
As I drew nearer in the shadow of the woods that bordered the road I saw a figure dart suddenly from their protecting shade across the patch of intervening moonlight to the Old Soldiers' Home. That struck me as rather curious. Why should any one be in such a hurry and why so furtive? I thought it over quite a while as I stood there waiting for something else to occur. Then a solution occurred to me. It was doubtless the other escaped prisoner, the one who had held us up in the road when we had started for home the first time! The chances were that he wanted to get back into the sanitarium and release his partner. As soon as I arrived at that deduction I, too, hastened in the same direction that he had gone. By the time I got to the front of the build-

ting he had disappeared. An open window, however, indicated very plainly where he had gone, and removing my skis I had no hesitation in following him. It was hard work for me to climb through, but I managed it.
There was enough moonlight coming into the living-room where I found myself for me to see that there was no one there. I hardly expected that he would linger. He was doubtless searching for the room in which Bill, his partner was
Sitting bolt upright in bed, Maryella.
There was nothing on the main floor except the living room and the service quarters. I glanced hastily in each room below and then went upstairs which was a more likely hunting ground. I paused at the head of the stairs scarce breathing.
He was not there.
While I waited, senses alert and nerves taut, a figure glided out through a door and went down the hall away from me. It disappeared in a moment through another door. I waited perhaps two minutes. It reappeared again and passed on to the next room. I was in a quandary what to do.
If I raised an alarm the chances were alone on that he would escape. It seemed better to capture him single-handed.
Therefore, when I disappeared into the next room I believed down the hall. As I did I heard a door in back of the open, but was too intent on my quarry to pay much atten-
I came to the door where I had seen my man disappear last. It stood open. I stepped in and closed it softly after me. Next I felt gropingly for the electric-light switch on the wall.
Before I could find it there was a woman's scream in the room somewhere ahead of me, and then at my back I heard a clicking sound in the door. I had just closed.
My hand found the switch. I turned it on.
Sitting bolt up in bed, with a revolver leveled at me, was Maryella.

"Throw up your hands." Maryella commanded, undecided how to treat a burglar whom she knew by his first name, but choosing at length the conventional procedure. "I will," I agreed, "if you'll point that shoe horn in some other direction."
She threw aside the weapon. "If you are a gentleman you will leave this room," she said firmly. "I don't know what you mean by this unwarrantable intrusion." "A man came in here and I followed him." "Nonsense! Where is it?" I did sound a trifle fishy. I'll admit you are not in sight. I even looked under the bed. "Now go" she ordered as if she were addressing an infant who had to be dealt with firmly. "I don't know what is the matter with you later, Billy Blibee. You used to be a fairly sensible, dependable man; but now you act like a lunatic two-thirds of the time."
"I'll go." I said mournfully; "but some day you'll realize how unjustly you have treated me."
I went to the door and turned the knob. It would not open.
"What's the matter?" Maryella asked when I delayed.
"I can't get out. This door is locked on the outside."
"Absurd!" Maryella got out of bed and slipped on her fur coat. "How could it be locked?"
She came over to the door. As she stood beside me I had a poignant spasm of heartache at the dainty desirability of her. It was no time for sentiment in a situation that bade fair to become serious, but I challenge any man to be so near the person of the woman he loves and not be senseless of showing

hair, especially if it flows over her shoulders, and the soft tenderness of the skin finished with sleep.
She tried the door.
"It is locked," she admitted with incredulous eyes that sought mine questioningly.
"What does it mean?"
I shook my head. "I don't know."
Just to be doing something, I rattled the knob.
"Be quiet in there, consarn you," said a voice outside. "You're arrested in the name of the law, and any-
with a revolver levelled at me, was
thing you say will be used again you"
It was the sheriff. How had he become involved in the midnight parade? What explanation could there be of an officer of the law being on the scene of a crime? It was contrary to precedent.
I even told him se through the locked door.
"Don't argue with him," pleaded Maryella in a whisper.
A new look of concern had come into her eyes
"What is it? What are you afraid of? I asked.
"Think how this is going to look when they find you and me here! Oh, Tom, how could you compromise me so?"
"I didn't intend to. I wasn't thinking of you."
"Oh, she murmured as if hurry. He numming say occupies your thoughts, I suppose."
My heart leaped joyfully. Even a moment of stress she had time to be jealous. Maybe it was all for the best.
"I'm sorry," I said penitently.
"That won't do any good. We ought to be able to do something dehinite to make this look right."
"I'll do anything you say," I uttered.
"Shall I jump out of the window?"
"You might break your neck."
"It wouldn't matter," I said bitterly.
She disregarded my martyr-1 speech. "Suppose you were hide," she suggested. "I'll say you jumped out of the window and then when they got out there after you, you could escape."
"Clever plan," I congratulated admirably. "Where shall I hide?" "Under the bed," she suggested particularly. I glanced doubtfully at the white enameled iron bed which was bolted to the floor. It looked to me as if it were underslung.
However, I'm the most obliging man you ever met so I got down on the floor and started to crawl under. Unfortunately I stuck half-way.
I could almost make it, and I struggled hard to condense that refractory half inch of gird that was holding me back. It was no use.
Then I tried to back out. To my dismay I found I could not move this other way either. "My hands" said the sheriff outside. "I'm coming in, and if you might shoot."
How the deuce could I throw up my hands? I might have thrown up my feet, but I doubt if I was capable of a motion of any sort. As the key clicked in the lock I heard a scurrying of bare feet. Marion was retreating. The door opened. A hush of surprise followed.
"Come out," ordered the sheerl
"I see you, you durned ostrich."
"I see you, you durned ostrich."
I renewed my struggles to extricate myself. It was useless. I had used too much zeal in my effort to get under.
"If you don't come out in ten seconds I'll shoot. The sheriff delivered this ultimatum and began counting, "One, two, three," The thought one, two, three that I offered or received a very poor mark, drove me nearly frantic. I made a superhuman effort. The bed roars from the floor and fell apart. I becked away from the debris.

Hints for the Home by Nancy Hart
The average rural family consumes almost five tons of food annually, or, to be exact, 9,371 pounds, according to the figures of the Toledo Scale Company compiled a short time ago. Of this amount the average man accounts for 2,177.7 pounds, or slightly less than one-quarter of the family's food. (This small percentage was as much of a surprise to us as to you!)
The largest single item of food consumed is milk—2,669 pounds being consumed annually. And the average farm family uses 484 pounds of eggs a year. Speaking in dollars and cents—of every dollar spent by Americans for food, 24.8 cents goes for milk and milk products. This is by far the largest single item in our food bill. It explains why doctors, inventors, business men and public commissions are constantly trying to devise ways to safeguard the quality and purity of milk.

There are so many problems of the hair that it is difficult to begin even to classify them correctly. The first, and perhaps most prevalent, is dandruff. Dandruff, contrary to current opinion, is not an exaggerated condition of dry scalp. Dandruff is an actual gum disease which has become tremendously widespread since women frequent barber shops as they do. And it is a disease that must be checked promptly if one is to preserve the health and beauty of the hair. The most sanitary measures in the world do not seem capable of preventing the spread of dandruff. Fortunately, it is sufficiently disagreeable to manifest itself at once, and the only remedy for it is to check the hair thoroughly and lustfully germ which prosper and lustfully so doily.
There are two kinds of dandruff—one, the dry dandruff (Sloaca) and the other—far more fruited and difficult to check—oily dandruff (Oleace), where the glands emit an abnormal amount of oil. This condition reveals a red, irritated scalp. In treating oily dandruff, frequent shampoos are advisable. A medicated scalp food will serve to nourish the weakened hair roots and restore normal, healthful activity to the glands. After this, the actual dandruff corrective may be applied, left on over

night, and the hair shampooed the following day.
Dry dandruff may be treated in exactly the same way, except that a weekly shampoo will be adequate. It is important to remember that dandruff lotions must be medicated. Alcohol, which is very often a base used in inferior correctives, will not aid the condition.
Next on the list of hair problems is excessive oiliness, another highly unpleasant condition, and here is a simple home treatment which I am sure you will find very effective:
Separate strands of hair into pads and brush head salt into them. Go over the whole head carefully, shaking the salt into the uncovered scalp and follow with a good herbal shampoo. Bake the hair and scalp very thoroughly, using several rinse waters, or better still, rubber spray, and lather two or three times. Hot oil treatments are excellent, but be careful not to have the oil too hot for comfortable application. Very hot oil has been the cause of much hair trouble.
Falling hair can best be corrected through scalp food and scalp stimulation.

, Other Citations
In People ex rel, Brechton v. Elec-
tion Commissioners, 221 Ill. 9, 77 N.
%, S21, it was held that a primary,
election law which provides that the|
county committees of a political party,
Shall. determine whether candidates
shall be nominated by a majority or a
purelity vote, is invalid as a dele-|
Zation of legislative power, the
basis of this decision being that since
the legislature had enacted a statute
regulating the form of the ballot,
what shall appear upon it, and how
the candidates whose names appear
shall be chosen, it has drawn to it-
self the duty of determining the ques-
tion whether a majority or plurality
vote should be necessary to nominate
and that the delegation of this right
to a political party might not be le-
gally done, and this is no more than
fhe recognition of the well established
maxim that a law must be complete
in all its terms and conditions when
it leaves the legislature, Cooley's
Const. Lim. (7th Ed.) 163.
Delegation of Power
In the statute under consideration
there is not only a delégation of leg-
islative power—in iteelf unconstitu-
tional—but also in its purpose and
effect a recognition of a further
power which the legislature itself
Joes not possess. Admittedly the
State may not provide otherwise than
for equal rights of suffrage as well
in the primary as in the election,
This the statute does and if thiz were
all there would be no ground of com-
plaint, but it goes farther and rec-
ognizes and enforces the right of a
i pelitical, party to prescribe qualifi-
cations forbidden under the Fifteenth
‘Amendment of the Constitution of the
United States, This a State may not
do, “The legitimate purpose of such
aiaw * * * must be to sustain and
enforce the provisions of the Consti-
totion and the rights of voters, and
not to cartail or subvert them or
injuriously restrict such rights.” (Peo-
ple v. Commissioners, supra).
Law in Conflict
| That a law which recognizes or
which authorizes a discriminatory tegt
jor standard does curtail amd subvert
them there can be ne doubt and such
| a law is therefore in conflict with the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend-
| penis {fo the Constitution of the
United States.
| Impressed with the importance of
the question raised in this case ni
| mindful likewise of the responsibility
of its decision, 1 have given the case
{careful thought. That its effect may
be to change a custom that has long
‘obtained inthe political system in ef-

consequence which unpleasant though
‘t may be may nevertheless not be

in which to plead further, and the
