BOLSHEVIST PLAN TO CONVERT NEGROES White "Masher" Insults Young Colored Woman. Tried To Bribe Her, To Escape Arrest CARNIVAL PROMOTERS ARRESTED ON PROTEST OF CITIZENS We Reach 90,000 Colored People In St. Louis Each Week. What Have You To Sail? VOL. VIII. NO. 12 BOLSHI White "Mash CARNIVA PROPAGANDA INTENDED TO INCITE RACE Rand School of Social Science Intended to Use Armed Revolt to Put Down Government When Bolshevist Day Should Come. By Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK CITY, July 10.—Armed revolt to put down the government when the Bolshevist "day" should come in this country was openly advocated for more than two years by the Rand School of Social Science, the Lank Committee learned yesterday from papers seized in the raid last week on that institution. Convinced that the proof of open sedition had been presented, the State investigators gave notice that the document be turned over to the District Attorney's office and that the Attorney General of the State be asked to proceed to revoke the charter of the school. The radical groups in New York had worked out a nation-wide scheme of propaganda to convert the Negro Race to Socialism, this being regarded as essential to their plot to sequennnnnwfhwydlmfwy mplot to seize the government so the capitalist class could not organize the Negroes for defense. Running through the secret schemes of the radicals was the purpose to strike when the day arrived to take over the government and to be prepared by having all labor industries organized thoroughly. Senator Clayton R. Lask, chairman of the committee, in reviewing the evidence at the close of the hearing said the two amazing features were first that it was shown the Rand School and its associates were preparing for armed revolution and were urging their "Army" to be ready to resist the militia and second that the clever propaganda designed to arouse the Negro Race was seditions and violent. Most elaborate of all the propaganda schemes so far brought to light was that by which the radicals hoped to turn the power of the Negro race into a great set. The whole scheme was outlined in an extensive document found in the Ran School and prepared by W. A. Domingb. "If the Socialists should elect a president, capital is prepared to use the Negroes for a guard to prevent the new government taking office. With the Negroes as guards, they would seize the arsenals six weeks after election. Autocracy will use force or fraud to control the Negro and suppress Socialism. It is necessary to change the Race consciousness and show him his duty is to support all wings of Socialism. The means by which that end was to be accomplished were outlined as follows: "Give financial support to Negro papers which support radical doctrines. Subsidize Negro speakers and centers to spread radical teachings in Negro meetings and show that Socialists are the only true friends of the Black Race. All Socialists must make a strong point of condemning all injustices to the Negro Race and所谓 denounce tyranny." Prepare special propaganda for wide circulation among Negroes and get them in the habit of attending meetings at which "their interests are discussed by Socialist speakers. Show that the capitalists control newspapers and schools with a view of keeping alive class distinction while not stressing the Race question." One of the strongest mediums of appeal would be through the church, the memorandum suggested, and this would be comparatively easy to accomplish as the "Negro minister was the most parasitical of all theoretical navigators." The document of this subject as read into the record was an exhaustive analysis of the Negro problem. It dwelt on the psychology of the Negro, showing how he views the state and government and pointing to the weak spots in his mental statics through which the Socialist could force an entrance.

The St. Louis Argus KLANSMEN DENOUNCED Governor Bicketts of N. Carolina Says It Is "A. Wicked Appeal to Race Prejudice." BY Associated Negro Press. RALLEIGH, M. C., July 10.—Denouncing the Legal Orger of Klansman, which has received a State charter and is being widely advertised in the newspapers, among them Secretary Daniel's Democratic organ here, Gov. Bicklet to tour, called on all North Carolinians to repudiate this "desperately winked appeal to Race prejudice, and to withhold money from this scheme so transparently impossible, so plainly, a gold brick proposition that ordinarily the inmates of an institution of the feeble-minded could not be induced to part with their coin for a certificate of membership in such a sooan bubble." Gov. Bickett's attack, which is said to be the first made by any Southern governor on this organization which is secretly sweeping over the South, comes in the middle of a campaign for memberships. The entrance fee of $50 has been cut to $10 and page advertisements are being published. Gov. Bickett's attack, it was said last night, may be followed by libel suits by the promoters, who justify the organization as an answer to activities among Negroes who are organizing. The Governor catalogues from literature the unartifacts of the order, which will "protect our farmer," his crops and our cotton; protect our country from lawless invasions; protect the woman of our South, and; protect our Government; protect our State Laws; protect our properties from unlawful seizures; protect people from riots and disorders. Quite incidental to this proposition to undertake the Government, it announces a number of institutions which will be maintained of which the Governor says: "And all that it costs to enter into these vast estates and into the power and glory of this omnipotent order is to pay into the now empty treasury the sum of $50 to join and $18 a year thereafter. "Running through the whole scheme is a wicked appeal to Race prejudice, he adds. "There is a bark back to the lawless time that followed the Civil-War, and there are paraded before the mind of the readers the terrors of those dark days. The very name that is written on the death head is a subtle appeal to the tears prejudices of our people. "Such an appeal is desperately wicked. There is no good need; for any secret order to enforce the law of this law and the appeal to race prejudice is as silly as it is sinful. Roland W.

He spoke in part as follows: Prof. Fisher also spoke at St. Paul A. M. E. Church Monday night. The Commonwealth Fellowship Club had charge of the meetings. HOSPITAL WILL NOT OPEN AUG. 1 The new City Hospital No. 2. Colored, will not be ready to open August 1, according to Director of Public Welfare Schmoll.

HWES PREDICTS 3RD POLITICAL PARTY St. Louis Democratic Leader Sayes "In the Next Election I Shall: Follow the Dictations of My Conscience." JEFFERSON CITY, July 7.—Captain Harry B. Hawes, St. Louis-Democratic political) leader, member of Missouri House of Representatives, just returned from the war soon, created a sensation before the house today when he declared in his address that he will vote heroin as he thinks best. Hawes said: "I am glad to be here because after our experiences abroad it is good to find a harmonious American body of men united in the big things that our state requires. It is such a contrast to the conditions in Europe. The affairs abroad and the thoughts in the minds of men make us a little uncertain as to our future conduct. I have always been a Democrat, and I hope to remain a Democrat, but in the next election I shall follow the dictates of my conscience in the things that I think this nation ought to stand for. I propose to utilize little brain God has given me and cast my vote as the light of roses gives it to me to cast, and I believe that will be the sentiment of the American people. I would not be curpiled to see old party lines cast aside and men who are today Democrats tomorrow become Republicans and men who are today Democrats and I should not be surprised to see the forming of a third party. DRUNKEN MAN THREATENS NIECE OF L. S. WILLIAMS Book Keeper Accosted On Street, Cuped When She Ignored Affronts of Offender. Has Man Arrested. Will Vigorously Prosecute Case. Wm. E. Hart, a drunken white man, was arrested at Channing and Olive Monday after he had annoyed and insulted Mrs. Louise E. Johnson, wife of Lem Johnson, a post office employee. Mrs. Johnson is a niece of L. S. Williams, undertaker, in whose office she is bookkeeper. She states that she left the office, going over Channing to Olive where she intended to board the street car, but was accosted by the "masher" near Lindell. After calling her "baby" and other smush names he proceeded to curse her in unprintable words because she ignored him. When she attempted to get on the Olive car he blocked her way and she then ran back to the Lindell corner and called two Colored men, J. H. Tolliver and J. H. Jamison. The men tried to get the offender to move on but he refused and continued his abusive language. A policeman was then called Mrs. Johnson says Hart cowed down and offered to bribe he with five dollars, in front of the policeman, if she would not have him arrested. This she refused to accept, and after the policeman told him he had plenty of time to escape before he, the policeman arrived, he was taken to the station. The case was called in Court Room No. 1, Tuesday morning and was continued until Tuesday, June 22. Mrs. Johnson says that after she went to court Tuesday morning a policeman went to her home to notify her that the case would not be called until Wednesday. She believes this to have been a ruse to prevent her from being present to prosecute Hart. Many Similar Complaints. Mrs. Johnson's case is similar to many complaints, by Colbred women, about the disrespectful treatment they receive at the hands of unscrupulous white men on the streets and in the street cars. These affronts are usually ignored and trouble averted. If the practice continues, it is feared that serious consequences will result some day and a race (rally) may follow. The case against Hart is to be vigorously prosecuted. SIMMONS PASSES THROUGH ST. LOUIS Roscoe Cohnlin Simmons, the noted race orator, passed through St. Louis Wednesday enroute to Little Rock Ark, where he will address the convention of the Mossoir Temple. Mr. Simmons spoke in the Knights of Columbus Hall at Terre Haute, Ind. Tuesday night, to a crowded house. He says "The Colored people everywhere are waking up. The war has made them see themselves, and by virtue of this fact the doors of opportunity are being thrown wide open." Mr. Simmons may speak here during the National Business League Convention August 13-14. MICE SAVED NEGRO ACCUSED OF THEFT ST. JOSEPH, Mo. James Glirry, a Colored man, accused of burglary, was acquitted in the Criminal Division of the Criminal Court last week on a novel defense. The only evidence against Ferry was a loaf of bread which he was said to have left in the store where the burglary occurred. This was wrapped in a newspaper and when the case came to court it was found that mice had eaten most of the evidence. J. H. Kelley, the Colored attorney for the defendant, scoffed at the idea that there had been any evidence. He declared the bread to have been a bit of fanciful fiction. In any event, he said, the State had failed to make a case, and the jury apparently accepted his view, for it brought in a verdict of not guilty. COLORED SOLDIER RECEIVES HIGHEST WAR DECORATION BOSTON, July 3 — Clarence R. Van Allen, corporal of Company I, 272 Infantry Regiment, who put a German machine gun out of action single-handed, killing four of its crew and capturing three others, one of the bravest exploits of the war, was decorated today, with the Medal of Military, the highest honor France confessed to an enlisted man. Officers of the North-eastern department who turned out in a body to honor the man, who was formerly a waiter here, said they believed he was the first American soldier to receive the decoration. His valor is a distinction for the race race. Worshipful Master Wm. Stakely Makes Annual Address—Presented with $75 Knights Templar Charm and Gold Chain. Phoenix Lodge 79, A. F. & A. M. at its regular communication had one of the most enjoyable meetings it has had for many moons. After the regular, routine the W. M. delivered his annual address which was a rare treat to the lodge, and a most excellent document of Masonic and progressive thought. The document held its 75 auditors spellbound from beginning to end. After many complimentary remarks on his address it was moved and seconded that the address be given to the various Colored papers of the city, as an incentive for closer and more uniform Masonic action. Motion carried unanimously. While every one was in a most jovial mood—came the surprise of the evening. A committee arose and in a few well-chosen words invited the members of the lodge to repair to the spacious reception room where they had prepared a delicious repass which consisted of all the delicacies of the season. After all the surprises which the lodge had been treated to on this occasion—now came the climax of the surprises. Secretary, Qhas. H. Smith arose from his seat and in a masterful speech reviewed the past year's work of the W. M. and at the close of his speech stepped forward and presented the Master with a $75 Knight Templar charm and gold chain, as a fit token for his most excellent services to Phoenix Lodge 79. For a moment the W. M. seemed in a deeme of surprise—but he quickly regained composure and his brilliant remarks sparkled with humor and logic as he presented the 75 members present (continued on Page 5.)

By Associated Negro Press. SPOKENA, Wash., July 10—Holding that a Negro has a right to sit in any part of the theatre to which the admission price entitles him, a jury in Superior Judge Humeke's court this afternoon returned a verdict of $200 damages for S. S. Moore Colored, against the Pamages Theatre company. The judgment is of wide spread importance, for it means that Negroes cannot be segregated from whites in any place of amusement in the State of Washington. The jury deliberated only an hour and a half Monday evening before determining the verdict which was returned, sealed today. Of the 12 jurors, eleven declared the $200 judgment was their verdict. Martin Johnson o Cheney, replied in the negative. "I wannag the damages to be $1000 at first," said Mr. Johnson, later, "dropped to $500, but did not agree with the $200 verdict. I dik not think that was enough." "All of us were for damages from the start," said James Hammel, East 1809 Heroy Avenue, another juror. "All declared that even if a man were black he had the right to sit where he wanted to. We figured through, that $200 was enoughalm the Moore's humiliation." Moore used the Plant for 1000 According to testimony, he appeared at the theatre September 15. The usher requested him to take a seat in the second balcony, stazing it was the custom the theatre to put Ne ros there Moore objected and left. He claimed the $5,000 for embrass- ment and humiliation. F. W. Gerand and Charles Aten were his attorneys. George Armi Age was attorney for the theatre company. Membership Drive Of The N. A. A. C. P.

He spoke of the means being used to change these conditions and showed how the Association for the Advancement of Colored People was working to accomplish this. The membership campaign of the Local Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People is now in full swing.

PRICE 5 CENTS GROES Escape Arrest CITIZENS GAMBLING IS STOPPED BY PETITIONERS Ten Promoters of Chance Games at Finney and Pendleton Were Robbing Women and Children. Fined $20 and Cost Each. Ten Carnival promoters were arrested Monday night at Fondleton and Finney avenues after a protest petition had been signed and presented to the Board of Public Service by the Colored residents in the vicinity. The petition, signed, was as follows: The undersigned citizens of St. Louis, resident in city block Nos. 3746, 4558, 4561 and 4562, hereby respectfully, but sternly, protest against the institution and maintenance of a cathen penny amusement colony on the vault lot that is the northwest corner of Fondleton and Finney avenues. This colony consists of 12 or 14 tents and a "flying-dutchman," budded in a lot that measures less than 150 feet 150 feet. Its northern the is less than 20 feet from the south line of dwelling premises. The tents are principally shelters for gambling outfits that consist of "wheel-of-fortune" which adults and children alike are solicited to play for the tures of dolls, boxes of candy, etc. This tawdry, noisy and corrupting aggregation draws the riff-raff of the population of this section of the city to Fondleton and Finney avenues nightly, creating an intolerable condition of tumult and disorder that we appeal to you to suppress. A committee headed by A W. Wilkinson and including James Hutt, Allie Jones and Wm L Hussey, visited the board Monday morning and presented the protest. The committee also went to the Central Police Station and presented the case to Lieut. William Stinger, who is in charge of the morality squad of the Police Department. The games confiscated Monday night included nine sets of what is known in carnival circles as "add-a-ball," a punch board, two chip games, a clothespin game, a spinning wheel and a hoop game. The police say the children of the neighborhood were spending their dimes and nickels freely in the hope of winning prizes. The defendants, all white, were fined $20 and costs each by Judge Mix. Phillips Moss, former prosecuting attorney of the Court of Criminal Correction, who represented them, described similar games were being operated at Forest Park Highlands without objection by the police. The prosecuting witnesses were all Colored and those for the defense white. The carnival included a merry-go-round which will be permitted to operate until the two weeks permit is up.

The visitors believe they can maintain their winning streak, and a couple of good games should be the result. KNOCKERS SPQILING THE GAME. One of the unfortunate things about the baseball games in St Louis is the constant "Knocking" against the home club by a certain class of fans. The regrettable part is not so much in the fact that it is done as how it is done. It's a conceded fact that baseball enthusiasts reserve the special right to criticise, but none but hoodlums will do it in a personal manager. This is discouraging to a ball player and will eventually make it impossible to get or hold good players. The fans can make or break a ball team. Everyone knows that the club was organized too-late this season to pick players, yet there is little encouragement for the promoters and players coming from unsuspectulous knockers. Put away your hammer and your dirty tongue, and let's get in the game for its success. CUBS MAKE GOOD SHOWING AGAINST ST. LOUIS GIANTS The St Louis Cubs mild a remarkably good showing in their same with the St. Louis Giants last Sunday. By the arrangements the Cubs were scheduled to play two games in the first, against the Nationals, a white team, they won 11 to 2 in five innings. The Nationals only made two hits off Gray, and were fanned nine times. In the second game, the Cubs out hit the Giants 19 to 7, but lost the game 5 to 2. Gray, for the Cubs, crack out five Giants and Daniels, got seven to his credit.

As predicted, the series has been a hard test for our boys, it being the first time this season they have had a chance to measure up to championship caller. Monday's game was rather disconcerting for the fans, as our boys, behind Gatewood, were shut out 7 to 6. The St. Louis club only made four hits to Chicago's 14. Seven doubles were turned during the game. The day's game turned out better for the home boys, who won 8 to 7. They had the game well in hand until the ninth inning, when Chicago overcame a three-run lead by making four runs, and tied the score. Finner was replaced by Gatewood and the St. Louis boys counted one in the tenth, which gave them the decision.

Sunday, July 6th, was communion day. After enjoying a glorious prayer meeting at 9 a.m., the pastor, Rev. J. K. Parker, five candidates and a group of followers went to the river and were joined there by others who witnessed the baptizing. At 11 o'clock the pastor took for the day's lesson, "The Church, its Life and Works." In his illustration he pictured the early church, in those days they did not have the conveniences we now have. The life of the church and the church at work, was so plainly seen throughout the services. The Junior B. Y. P. U. lesson was led by Miss Mildred Shelton, a junior member. The program was excellent. Much credit is due Miss Shelton for her efforts. The Mission Circle is doing a great work in caring for the poor, but much more can be done if you would give your smile.

The Lord's Supper was administered to those present. At the close of the service several sinners came forward to be prayed with. God Almighty sent the Holy Ghost down and one of the number was made happy and rejoiced in the God of Salvation. Dr. Smith is a live wire in the pulpit and is drawing large crowds by his powerful sermons. He is growing in favor with the people daily. Surely the good bishop was guided by the hand of God when he assigned the Rev. N. L. Smith to champion the cause of Colored Methodism in St. Louis and build up a stronghold for God and His Church.

UNREST + | The fullest measure of pleasure may be enjoyed by the con- tented mind. yet it 1.4 bad omen to see races or groups of races contented The mind, that part of man nearest Divine, is never satisfied until it has reached its greatest pozsibilities. Who can measure it? Inthe wake of reconstruction since the great world war, we find mans groups, clans and orders of isms, very bold in their expression of dissatisfaction and unrest. A careful study of the cases wili show (hat there is almost a perfect unit among them all in the common cause tired of oppression. The leaders in these groups have been wise enough to work or carry on their’ propaganda smong those who have grievances of any kind and urge all the dissatisfied to join them in one common cause. Some of this of course, has, like the seed sown, fallen in rich soil and is bringing many fcld. . How has this unrest affected the American Negro? Those things have naturally affected him in proportion to the state of his mind. whether he is contented with his present condition or whether he is dissatisfied. He has been the one group of Ameri- ean citizens who has suffered most from injustices, discriminations and oppressions. The masses, as never beforé are dissatisfied. As we see from day to daze the hand of the stronger race op- press us and deny us jusuce’before the law ofthe land how can, we be contented? Can we hope for change of conditions by being satisfied? Have we not been patient. lo these many years, to find the band of oppression greater upon us today than ever? The leaders of our race are divided on the best solution of the so-called race probler But the masses are speaking for them- selves. They have left the Southland almost by the millions. Men who have preached contentment tg them have lost their au- diences. The people of our race are looking for a new leadership. That leadership which will sell Cheon sot they are men and women stand up. That leadership whith will tell them to resent the wrong and speak for their rights. We are fully aware of the fact that our numbers are few, but if we are in earnest about our common rights as American citi- zens, we can get_a hearing at the bar of public opinion. We bave no desire to join that class whether they be few or many; whether aliens or citizens who would force a hearing of their cause. but we do firmly believe that our cause is a just one and must be heard. ; THE BLACK MAN'S BURDEN From teedy's Wieran Suda"19. Mr. William Marion Reedy, Editor and Proprietor of Reedy’ Mirror, a weekly magazine, devoted to the general interest of th public writes a strong article on the race question in, which-b speaks of the Jim-Crow cars, the Ku-Kiux-Klan and many othe injustices racticed especially in the, South to keep the Negr down. Among the things said by Mr. Reedy are the following: “It is folly to dodge facts, to hide truth. The prob- lem can only:be solved by facing it Understaridingly. It ig not insvluble. either It can be solved by assuring the Black man of his rights and confirming him ‘x them ev- en as the way to meet the menace of Bolshevism is to re- dress the just grievances .of the oppressed and exploited _ -white workingmen. Lynehing will not settle the race question, as espionage acts, deportations, suppression’ of public meetings will not settle the question Of the white workers tight to a living and to work under decent con- ditions * é “There is no questicn of social equality of races. If ruch a thing can ever possibly be, it must. be won. by the presently inferiorra e through activities opber than-armed . Tebellion. It canonly come through moral development. Saethe Nation must in honor assure the Negro other things. [t must see that he'is given justice in the courts. Denial of justice must not be continued to help out the ec- onemic explontation of the Negro. He must not be tricked out of his pav for his labor He should have the vote, with.whatever honestly applied qualifications may be de- vised. All that is réquired is that theaNearo be recog- nized as a “human being wish the same legal rights as a white human being an? 2 more, Such treatment supplemented Bf course, by 2dvsation, will eventually gen- erate in the Negro that self-resjiect which will enable him to rule himself and thus command the respect of others. If the South's peculiar crime persists, the way to stamp it out is by orderly process of law, not by lynchings ‘which cannot but brutalize all the whites who par- ticipate in such descents to the level of the creatures who may be guilty of the worst of-crjmes. Lynching doesa’t stop at black victims. “It is soostenty claiming more white ones---poor white ones, for lynch law is the law of those who think themselves the’best peaple, the aristo-— erate. It is to Legpricce credit of the South that so many of its leaders in)thought are aware of all these things. They deserve honor for clear thinking in the face of the black tertet confronting them. Their plea for justice. not for special favor. to the Negro, should be heeded. It should be heeded at Washingten. Shall we go to-warto aid the fitele nations, the weaker peoples everywhere and contin- ve to enslave apeonle right here at home, who fight for the same country, speak the same language, worship the ~ game God as we do? In the reconstruction of this nation __. of which we hear'so much these days js nothing to be done for the American Negro? —* ; + - Mr, Reedy, like Mr. Shillady is of that Irish blood who fearless an an agitator, yet conservative in his opinion of right a : justice.
