The Savannah Tribune. Madame Walker Dies After Short Illness WAS REGARDED AS WEALTHIEST NEGRO WOMAN IN AMERICA Vast Fortune Accumulated from Sale of Hair Preparations New York, May 27th—Madam C. J. Walker, business woman and philanthropist, regarded as the richest Negro woman in America, died early Sunday morning, at her beautiful home, Irving-to-on-the-Hudson. Madam Walker took sick during a recent visit to St. Louis, Mo. There she was attended by noted physicians, and as soon as possible was removed to her home in New York, where she was attended by her family physician, Major Joseph H. Ward, of Judiapolis, recently returned from France, and other noted specialists. Nothing known to medical science was left undone in order to give this well known Negro business woman a longer lease on life. During the last week, however, it was seen that her case was beyond medical aid, and the end was looked forward to both by friends and relatives. Madam Walker sank into a state of coma on Thursday, and never regained consciousness. The funeral is arranged for Friday, and will be one of the largest ever held in this city. The entire arrangements for the funeral are in the lands of Madam Walker's attorney, F. B. Ranson, of Indianapolis. It is understood that the vast business left by Madam Walker will be carried on by her only daughter, Mrs. Lilia Robin-on-Walker, a young woman of unusual business accomplishments. Madam Walker has left a legacy to the race in business and philosophy that may well be at once an inspiration and example to all. Born a little over fifty years ago in Vicksburg, Miss., her early life was spent practically in poverty. Not many years ago she began the manufacture of hair preparations, and in a short time there was a demand from all sections of the country for her goods. Madam Walker, for some time, was undecided where to establish her headquarters. She was in Pittsburg, Cleveland, and other points for a time, and finally selected Indianapolis, which is yet the home office of her business. Much of the success of the business is due to the fact that early Madam Walker saw the great importance of advertising judiciously, regardless of expense, and this has been continued. Just recently an international campaign of advertising was begun. Her charities and philanthropies also date from her early successes in business. She started the country a few years ago by giving $1,000 toward the erection of the Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. Since then she has been a generous donor, and much of her good work is unknown to the world. For years she has kept a number of young people in Tu-kegee Institute and other schools. Her last big public gift was just a few weeks ago, when she sent her check for $5,000 towards a fund to fight lynching in the United States. Her home on the Hudson, built about a year ago, was the largest and most handsome residence in the United States. Her estate is said to be worth far more than a million dollars. WAR CHEST SUBSCRIBERS Definquent subscribers to the Savannah War Closet Association will make immediate payment at the office of J. (J. Lemon, Wage Earners Bank Building, where they will be credited. The pledge cards and accounts have been moved to that place for the convenience of the colored subscribers to the fund.

"HUMAN LIFE PRECIOUS," SAYS JUDGE HAMMOND Augusta, Ga., May 24—Before pronouncing sentence on William Morgan, charged with manslaughter, Judge Hammond said, "Human life is too precious to be held in light regard. If there is any criticism I have to make of the Colored race, it is that they are too reckless with human life. If they have a pistol, they think they must use it, and they do use it. The white people, judges and court officials, I think' continued the judge, 'take too narrow a view of the colored citizen. They say he is respectful and a good Negro simply because he tips his hat to the white man, he is called a "white man's Negro" and they let it go at that." This attitude, in the opinion of Judge Hammond makes the Negro overhearing to his own people, realizing that he has the backing of white men if he commits crime. HOUSEKEEPERS UNABLE TO GET COLORED HELP Rock Hill, S. C., May 24—There is a report that the colored women of the community have grown so prosperous with material goods and money, that they have formed an organization known as, "Told-the-Arms" Club. One daily states: "Whether they have formed any Club or not, householders tell us more difficulty is experienced by Colored labor now than ever before in the history of this city, and no one seems to be able to learn just what the trouble is." tellibhmei-storior. telhisy role, example. Another states. "Let the white people learn to serve them-selves. It will not harm them. To the host-keeper who has learned to serve herself, there is no terror in the situation. We require too much 'service' anyway." This comment from a white newspaper in the south reads like fiction. There is no servant problem for those who serve them-selves." FIRST A. B.

SATURDAY MAY 31ST 1919 THE TRUTH ABOUT PAUL BATES Paul Bates, langed in Screven Coun- ty last week for killing one Grady Ou- ver, was the hapless victim of fate and circumstances. His case is typical of all those clashes between the white landlord and his Negro tenant in the rural communities of Georgia and the South, in the trial, of which, the law even, is helpless before race hate and the community opinion and organization to see justice done in matters which affect Negroes. Paul Bates was tried for murder in an atmosphere of mob violence and lynching. He came near to being lynched while incarcerated in the Syllanja jail, the military being called out to prevent this. It was necessary to take him to Savannah both before and after the trial for safe keeping. He was tried under heavy military guard, the Augusta and Newington troops being in attendance. Bates had no witnesses in his behalf, because persons possessed of testimony favorable to a Negro in an issue of this sort would run the risk of being lynched to testify. But Bates made an excellent witness for himself; he told a straightforward and logical story of the incidents leading up to the homicide, and we are thank to state that, although a great many of his charges are such as to show that he acted in self defense when he took a man's life, practically every material and permanent charge was side stepped and allowed to go unchallenged. For instance, Bates told a tale or horrible treatment and abuse and threat of his life which he had received, at the hands of the dead man, and his brother, while the three rode together in a wagon on the day before the homicide. The state, as represented by the court, conscious of the disadvantage of Negroes in such issues, and anxious to clear its skirts of any charge of suppressing testimony, yet failed to repute a serious attack upon its case as such a charge represents, when it was so well prepared to do so if it could, with the brother of the dead man present. Court, which had been called in extra session, adjourned sine die, after Bates had been found, guilty and sentenced to death. The counsel, appointed to represent Bates, did not file a motion for a new trial before adjournment (as the law requires) and gave a reason therefore that Bates would have been lynched that day on the spot if such motion had been made or if the verdict had been other than death. Bates would have been hanged before the next term of the Screven Court, had not the Governor on three occasions, granted respites at the instance of his lawyers, called into the case after Bates had been sentenced to the gallows. These respites carried the execution date over from February to May 23, and the new term of the Screven Court convened May 19, thus allowing opportunity for counsel for Bates to file an extraordinary motion, (the only remedy after failure to get a motion at the trial term) for a new trial. Such a motion carries the disadvantage of not contemplating or considering the merits of the cause on which it is issued, in a hearing upon a motion itself. It is only granted upon a showing of sufficient new subject matter irregularities, in the legal processes already had, warranting a rehearing of the case. Bater' counsel had the motion before the Screyen court when it convened Monday, May 19. But, alas, the judge became so suddenly ill that court had to be adjourned until the second Monday in June. Bates was to hang May 23rd. The motion was not considered. Bates' attorneys made a last stand before the Governor of the state, and they were armed with statements from prominent business and professional men living in Screyen county, and allaying of various incidents and irregularities and inconsistencies of the trial to show it had not been fair and impartial. The Governor refused to commute the sentence to life imprisonment, and refused to grant a stay of execution to allow a motion to be presented before the Screyen Court which had adjourned so suddenly. Here follow in short statements, the reason why Bates should have had another chance, a new trial and a change of venue: Man cannot possibly have a "fair and impartial trial." If the trial is conducted under guard of the military, called out to prevent mob violence. The atmosphere which had almost produced a lynching of Bates and made the military necessary was such as to preclude even the suggestion of fair play and the very presence of the military, the threatening mob which it is brought out to restrain, the public sentiment which makes it possible, and allows and suffers it, all influence the trial. Courts are only human, after all. The incidents leading up to the homi- EAT... "Dandy Bread" "AT ALL GROCERS" NUGENT BAKERY Mechanics Savings Bank A Bank For All the People 721 W. Broad St Savannah, Ga. --- side, which supplied the motive for the killing, testified to by Bates, were never disputed or challenged although it was extremely easy to do so. Bates alleged he had been assaulted, and named the brother of the slain man as a witness to the assault., but he was not put up to controvert the charge. There is a theory of the law that the failure of either party to refute what is alleged against him by another shall be construed strongly in favor of the truth of the allegation. Another lawyer, not connected with the case, stated that the dead man had been a brow beating, bull-dozing character, that he consorted with Negroes socially, disregarding the racial and social distinctions, was a heavy drinker, and controlled his workers by force. Another lawyer, approached to defend Bates by court appointment, was not appointed after he had indicated that his first move would be to move for a change of venue, which if denied, he would appeal to the Supreme Court by bill of exceptions. No eye saw Bates kill Oliver. Bates admitted it, but claimed self-defense. Repeated efforts failed to get the charge of the court to the jury to find whether the charge had included "circumstantial evidence" or the "law as to admissions" and "voluntary man slaughter." Both the clerk of the court and the judge failed to furnish these after repeated entreaties to do so. The trial term adjourned on Bates without a motion having been made for a new trial for him. The court-appointed lawyer had feared a lynching had he done so. The new term (May), to meet which the three respites had been granted adjourned unexpectedly upon opening because of the extreme illness of the judge, preventing a hearing of a motion. A writ of "habeas corpus" was sought to be filed in the United States District Court, and failed, being refused, as was said, because the court had no jurisdiction. The Governor, altho he did not look with favor upon trials held in the presence of the military and would not have found the same verdict, if he had been the jury, yet was bound by the fact that, "a jury has found him guilty," the "trial judge has affirmed the finding," the prosecutors and lawyers for the defense have said the trial was a fair and impartial one," and "the verdict correct," and refused to interfere to change the penalty from death to life imprisonment. All the above facts were before the Governor and more Paul Bates died, protesting, that he acted in self-defence and there are many who will always share that view. There are many, including many prominent white, men, from the section, where the trouble occurred, who feel that Bates did not, and could not have had a fair trial in the atmosphere in which his trial was held, and that the discretion of the Governor should have intervened to give him another chance when the mere technicalities of the law and the courts had prevented it. And yet, it is said, that 'Justice is blind.' In Memory ...Sellers—In sad but loving memory of my dear husband, Samuel S. Sellers, who departed this life, May 30, 1919. One year has passed since that sad day when one we loved so dearly was called to that haven of rest. His love and goodness we cannot forget. His love and counsel will ever be our guide. God called him home; it was His divine will, but in our hearts he liveth still. When the toils of life are over, in heaven, we are striving to meet him where we shall part never more.

Young- blood, white, has called attention in several ways, that the recent occurrence here during a recent parade, was not caused by "Negroes" but by "black Portuguese." In a statement he says, "The Portuguese in America have nothing in common with the American Negro, except his complexion, just as the Hindo- Turk, Filipino, and other Asiatic peoples." They are far removed from the trend of events and of ideas of the Colored people as they are from the whites. They live in their particular sections. Their customs of living are different. They do not claim themselves to be Negroes; neither do white people claim themselves to be Negroes, only when they commit a crime. ILLITERACY INVITIS BOLSHVISM (Associated Negro Press) Louisville, Ky., May 24- Illiteracy among both races in the United States is a constant invitation to Bolshevism, according to Dean L. B. Moore, of Howard University, Washington, D. C., in an address before the Negro Educational Association of Kentucky. "There are 5,000,000 adults of both races in the United States that can neither read and write," said Dr. Moore. Ignorance like this is the cause of sectional and racial feeling and constant law breaking. No one can understand a law who cannot read it. WORK WELL TOGETHER Washington, D. C. May 24—The investigation and inspection service of the Department of Labor has issued a statement reporting an encouraging industrial equality in some sections of the country, between white and Negro workers. This report, coming after the publication of the Labor plank of the League of Nations is considered of more than ordinary interests because Labor Department and average employers know only two well that "much" of the race prejudice in the United States has be due to the refusal to grant the Negro work farm industrial equality and to wages for certain jobs, says the Christian Science Monitor. A counting of specific instances in 00, employing over 200 Negroes most notably, over the past year, men with the company over five years or more the vice president showed that Negroes and whites are on absolute equal footing, in both the unskilled and skilled occupations, and that no marked difference between them in the skilled or unskilled occupations has resulted. The industrial workers are vast, individuals, regardless of color to such an extent that no regular records are kept which separate the races in different classes. In answer to the question as to the propriety of the Negro to "lay off when in funds" the manager of the above min stated, "the casual laborer, where or black, is up to show this tendency." RACE QUESTION NOT THE CAUSE Associated Negro Press Orono, Me. May 24- The Race question was not the cause of a recent hazy episode in which two members of sophomore class were covered with molasses and feathers, according to R. J. Aley of the University of Maine, who issued a formal statement regarding it. After saying that Colored students are welcomed at the university and well treated the statement explains that members of the freshman class, resenting treatment received from the two sophomores, determined as they say to repay this treatment, and visited their room. There was a scuffle and the sophomores was aped, but later gave themselves up to the freshmen who hazed them by applying molasses and feathers. The statement adds that the faculty does not condone the affair, regarding it as extremely grievable, but none likely to happen any time at any college, the gravity depending much upon the susceptibility of the victim and the notoriety given it.

Col. J. F. J. Hubert, of Worchester, declared that one great fight that Massachusetts must lead is that in behalf of justice to our people. The Race question, though not brought to the floor of the convention, was discussed many hours in committees, between northern and southern delegates. It was finally agreed to permit all soldiers to join on equal terms, each community deciding for itself, whether they come in one body or separate. Col. Hubert said, "The country will look to Massachusetts for leadership in this great fight for justice, just as it did a half century ago. In this caucus, the North has not faced the issue squarely, but we must make up our minds to go to Minneapolis next November determined that the black man who was good enough to fight beside us is good enough to sit beside us.
