RACE RIOTS ARE SHIFTED FROM WASHINGTON TO CHICAGO Refusal Of Policeman To Arrest Whites Stoning Colored Bathers On The Lake Beach, Leads To Four Days Of Mob Rule. 34 Dead, 1200 Injured. Whites Attack Provident Hospital and Helpless Patients Are Victims DYER AND WEIL CLASH AT MEETING Break Comes at Republican State Committee After Congressman Defeats Honor G. Phillips for Vacant Seat. L. G. Dyer, Republican Congressman from the Twelfth District, and Julius M. Well, state committeeman from the district, had a run-in at a meeting of the State Committee in the Plantant's Hotel Saturday, July 26, which was saved from a fist fight by others present. The clash came after Dyer had been Homer G. Phillips, Colored, 24 to 1, for the committee made vacant by the death of Gus Frey. Mr. Dyer seemed to feel peeved because the Negroes were opposing him, and he is said to have started toward Well in a threatening manner, saying he had been insulted. In explaining the incident, Mr. Well says, "At a conference of Republican Negroes of the district, I was requested to present a Colored man for the case. Mr. Dyer had not signified his intention to be a candidate. It was not known to the Negroes until the last hour. When I offered Mr. Phillips' name, Mr. Roth, the chairman, added my name, Mr. Dyr. I told him I would lose it. He sort a Negro. Mr. Roth said he did not think the district would stand for it because of its wealth. He, however, admitted that the representation should be based upon votes, and not wealth. I presented Phillips' name, with the result as stated." It is estimated that are 21,000 voters in the district of whom 11,000 are Colored Republicans, 8,000 Democrats with some colored, and 3,000 white Republicans. PYTHIAN G. LODGE SHOWS PROGRESS The recent session of the Grand Lodge R. of P. held at 2137 Pine St., Python Temple Bldr., July 22-25, inclusive, was, without doubt, the best and most harmonious, as well as the most businesslike of any previous session. Perfect harmony characterized every session and many questions of vital interest to the Order were discussed and passed upon. The Annual Report of Grand Chancellor Lloyd was a masterly effort, full of information and wise thought; much of which was crystallized into legislation. The reports of the various Grand Lodge officers showed a wonderful increase in every way. The report of the G. K. of R. and S. showed that he had handled more than 550,000 during the past year, while the report of a cash balance of over $200,000.

SUFFRAGE AND PROHIBITION WILL COME UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL Dr Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y. July 31.—National and suffrage laws, which will have an important bearing on conditions, in the South, will have to be enacted as soon as the states ratify the woman suffrage amendment. Representative Siegel, New York told the senate today. The enforcer of suffrage legislation he drawn along the same lines as the prohibition enforcement legislation, he said. Stenel warned the Southern members of the House, who have been advocating prohibition, that if Congress passed the prohibition enforcement bill giving the Federal government control to enforce prohibition in the states, it will also clearly have to pass laws making it certain that all the Negroes in Southern States can vote. After anything at night go to Jane. The St. Louis Argus CATROLIC PRIEST SPEAKS BITTERLY AGAINST NEGROES Tells His Members to Refuse To Sell Property To Them. Father Thomas Walsh, priest of St. Ann's Catholic Church, at Whitthorne and Page, reminded his communications at 6:30 mass last Sunday morning that there was a Protective Association to prevent Negroes from invading Page and Evans avenues. The priest said, "You who have 'For Sale' signs up shall in no case sell to the 'blacks', and when any 'blacks' apply to purchase or arrange a purchase of property in these streets, you must slam the door, take the case and tell them. 'You know we don't.' Father Walsh closed by saying 'Do you know that the blacks will sell their very souls for money.' Father Walsh made a talk to his congregation against "Negro Invaders" on Sunday, April 21, 1918. At that time he said the Negroes were "hovver over the white people like airplanes over a battlefield." He advised them to rock the invaders out of the neighborhood, and, coming to the front of the chancel, announced that If there were any Negroes in the audience they should know that they were accustomed to stay away from his church. In a newspaper interview later, he is credited with saying that white women were afraid to travel the streets because of Negroes moving into the district. There has, however, been no cause for alarm. The Colored people there represent the most intelligent and thrifty class in the city and there has not been one instance of discord or trouble of any kind. The streets in question are all that separate the Negro neighborhood of the central western district from the so-called city known as Biscardsville. No Negroes are applying to purchase homes; there are being offered them, through real estate agents, by owners who wish to move farther west and can find no buyers among the whites. CHATTANOGA, Tenn. July 27.

J. G. Robinson, presiding elder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church at Chattanooga, and made public here tonight.

July 20 There is a determined effort being made in Congress to force the issue with reference to voting Colored citizens in the South. Newspapers in every section are discussing the subject. A number of newspapers believe that every citizen regardless of race should be given the ballot. Some, however, are greatly alarmed over the possibility of the southern representation being cut down. With reference to the particular phase of a subject the Birmingham, Ala., News says informally: And Senator Poindexter has introduced a similar resolution. The St Louis Globe-Democrat, the leading Republican, paper of the Central West, says that these resolutions "mean that the Republicans are DETERMINED to put through this plan if they can," that is to change the basis of representation in Congress from population to the number of votes case. Under this plan the Southern States would lose 64 representatives—Alabama, 7; Arkansas, 3; Florida, 2; Georgia, 9; Kentucky, 2; Louisiana, 6; Maryland, 1; Mississippi, 6; North Carolina, 2; South Carolina, 6; Virginia 6; course, there would be a conditional vote, the electoral power and thus the power of the Republican Party in electing the President and controlling the Congress would be established for an indefinite period. CALIFORNIA COURT MAKES IMPORTANT REALTY RULING (LOS ANGELES, Cal. July 30. For the first time in the history of the United States, the Appellate Division of a State Supreme Court has redefined a decision holding that individuals have no right to limit the selling or leasing of real estate against the Negro race. The Supreme Court of George and South Carolina, held that cities could not pass ordinances setting a court number of the city for residence of Colored people. The Supreme Court of the United States has passed upon that question and has held that cities being parts of the State, could not so segregate, but no supreme court, until the California Supreme Court, through its Appellate Division, rendered a decision in TITLE CULANTAREE COMPANY, GAR-ROTZ, on the 10th of July 1918 and gave the length of saying that private individuals could not limit or restrict alienation against Negroes, Japanese, Chinamen, etc. NEW YORK WORLD ON RIOT. "Is there anybody who imagines that the compulsory service of 360,000 Negroes in the United States Army, in many instances so creditably as to win high commendation, has had no influence upon them or the mass of their lives, on the lives of the men to assume that with 299,000 colored men in uniform from the Southern States alope, as against 370,000 white men, the blacks, whose manhood and patroltion were thus recognized and tested, are forever to be flogged, lynched, burned at the stake or chased into concealment whenever Caucasian desperadoes are moved to engage in the war. The Washington outbreak is a warning to all Americans that their race wars hereafter are going to be race wars. The Negro citizen is going to have the day in court." MEMPHIS. TENN Wm. H. W.

CONGRESS IS ASKED TO PROBE MOB MURDERERS Hughes, Taft, Root, A. Mitchell Palmer and Hundreds of Other Prominent Persons Demand Investigation of Lynching. Demand for an investigation by Congress of mob violence and lynching in the United States is made in an Address to the Nation, signed by 150 citi- es throughout the country, including ex-President Taft, Attorney-General A. Mitchell Palmer, Dr. Honey Van Dyke, the governors of seven states, including Governor A. H. Roberts, of Tennessee, every living ex-attorney-general of the United States, the heads of California, Illinois, Princeton, Western Reserve, Fisk and Vanderbilt universities, Charles W.

Bingham, of Mississippi, and Senator *Arthur Copper* of Kansas Copper of Kansas is the Nation 1. out- outcome of the National Conference on Lynching which was held in New York City. May 5 and 6 last. "The people of the United States suffer justly under the grievous charge that they continue to tolerate mob murder," says the address. "In the year 1918 no less than 67 persons were done to death without trial or any process of law, having been denied the death in court accorded by the federal and state constitutions to all citizens. "It is well known that the innocent with the guilty suffer the cruel inflictions of mob violence. Mobs have even invaded court rooms and prisons to seize and murder prisoners whose punishment had already been fixed. Early in 1919, a hospital was invaded by a man, the attack resulted in death from shock of a patient that day operated upon. "Patriotic citizens throughout the country feel the shame which lynchings cast upon the nation, but they have assumed partial responsibility for this shame by their silence and their acquiescence. The time has now come when citizens of the United States can no longer contemplate with their shame a naught of the fundamental principles does upon which their citizenship is based. "The undersigned, therefore, as citizens of the United States, without sectional or party bias, with the interest only of the republic at heart, urge all public-spirited men and women to oppose with all their power the recurrence of the crime and the shame of mob murder; they urge the governors of the several states to do all that is necessary to oppose them; they pledge their support to the officers of the law who, in the face of mob excitement, discharge their duties; and they urge upon the Congress of the United States nation wide investigation of lynching and mob murder to the end that means may be found to end this scourge." Among the Southern signers of the address are Charles J. lonaparte of Maryland, former attorney general of the United States; George M. Bally, editor of the plenum meeting; William M. Hunley, of Lexington, Va. Secretary Southern Race Commission; William S. Sutton, Dean of Department of Education of the University of Texas. RACE RIOTS BEING INVESTIGATED BY FEDERAL AGENTS WASHINGTON, July 30. The race riots in various parts of the United States are under investigation by the United States Government. Agents of the Department of Justice and other governmental organizations are endeavoring to determine what is behind the spread of assault and murder throughout the northern states. The situation admittedly is serious. Starting in Washington, there have race clashes in a dozen other localities culminating in the rioting in Chicago. The inquiry now under foot is designed to determine these facts: Whether there exists a regularly organized body whose object it is to stir up race hatred in order to emphasize apparent unrest in the United States. Whether there is any connection between the present series of race riots and the pro-Germann propaganda that preceded the entrance of the United States into the war. Whether there is any connection between the disturbances and the activities of the I. W. W. The authorities have secured possession of much important information as the result of the arrest of leaders off the recent rioting in Washington.

CHICAGO, Illinois, July 29 — The scene of riot has shifted from Washington, the nation's capitol, to Chicago, America's greatest cosmopolitan city, and regarded everywhere as the world's greatest center of race progress. Sunday afternoon, a Colored lad was bathing in Lake Michigan near the Beach at East Twenty-ninth street. The day waited and lens of those who sought relief from the heat in the cooling waters of Lake Michigan. This lad was on a raft, and a white ruffian threw a stone and knocked him into the water, where he drowned before angel could be given. The attention of a white policeman was immediately called to the ruffian, but the policeman refused to arrest the man, whereupon the crowd became angered and in a short time began to "clean up" the place. The man accused of the crime is Augusta Strauber. Finally, he was arrested by two Colored detectives, Middleton and Scott. The news of the crime scattered like wildfire. Hundreds rushed from the beach in their vehicles to place of shelter while others hurried to their nearby homes for revolvers and rifles. In less than an hour there was a general battle on, in which more than a hundred whites were injured by weapons of various kinds. The news of the strife spread to every section of the South Side, and at several points, such as 31st and State, 35th and State, 39th and State, thousands of people gathered and talked in low tones over the situation. Between sunset Sunday night and early Monday morning there were more than a dozen lights which injured some fatality, the majority of them being white, and a score of policemen, hundreds of police reserves and four hundred mounted police were called on Sunday night to quell the disturbance. Chief of Police Garricky, his assistant, Alcock, Mayor Thompson and leading organizations of people of both races are doing all possible to restore peace. Much damage has been done by both races to street cars. Colored men and women in the street running through the South Side district, while whites have been furious in their treatment of Colored people on street cars running through Wentworth Avenue and Halsted street, and on cross streets. Mayor Thompson declared conditions are very serious and must be carefully studied to get at the cause of the trouble and the means of correcting it at once. It is claimed by some that more than two thousand Springfield riffs with considerable ammunition are at the hands of Colored people on the South Side. This statement is denied by Alderman R R Jackson, Colored, and others. However, it is well known that the majority of the people are strongly armed. CHICAGO, July 31 A N P Telegram—Conditions in riot-tortoise are improving, after three daws of bloodshed, terrorism and battles between infuriated blacks and whites in which twenty-seven have been killed, fourteen whites and thirteen Colored, with nearly one thousand wounded. The fighting fever is dying out. The police are getting the situation under control. Hoodlums of both races have been responsible for most people who happened to be Colored people through or in living districts largely occupied by whites, particularly where they are populated by the lower classes have been torn from cars and automobiles, beaten and killed. Whites who came into Colored districts have suffered from the same treatment. Negroes, particularly half-grown irresponsible youths, attacked every white face they saw, in many cases wounding or killing police o cera. The showness of the authorities in the attack a fao of the bad political effect on the whites or the advantage the state would have over the municipality. Colored Rout Mill'ta. The Colored people have been un- willing to permit the militia in their mist. They routed three companies of hastily gathered white soldiers. The Colored police have rendered vallant service and have been able to handle the Colored crowds, single handed much better than squads of white Dallies Caused Riot The real underlying reason for the riot is the constant agitation by the local daily newspapers, which for weeks have been carrying articles about approaching trouble. The incident on the bathing beach, when a boy was drowned by whites Sunday, led to a fire in a situation ready to explode. There have been many hundreds who have left the city temporarily for places of safety, but the majority of the 125,000 population of Colored have remained on the ground, seeking to protect their property and families.

The letter is as follows: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully asks if the office of the United States Attorney General intends proceeding against the Washington Post on the ground of inattention to riot in connection with the recent disorder in Washington. The ground for such procedure seems to lie in matter published on the first page of the Washington Post on the morning of Monday, July 21, on the evening of which day the worst disorders occurred. The matter referred to reads as follows: "Mobilization for 'Tonight." "It was learned that a mobilization of every available man stationed in or near Washington on leave here has been ordered for tomorrow evening near the Knights of Columbus but on Pennsylvania avenue between Seventh and Eighth Sts.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 23—Within the next few weeks, Memphis can boast of a real first-class Colored city directory, the purpose of which is to present in systematic but concise form the most important facts concerning the Negro population of this city. Directories have been gotten up among Negroes in Chicago, New Orleans, Savannah, Richmond, Atlanta, Nashville and other cities, but the Memphis Colored Directory will contain several features. This directory will contain the name and address of every Colored business and professional man and woman in Memphis; recording churches, schools, philanthropic, maternal, social and other activities among the Negro population. It will also contain criminal and vital statistics as they concern the Colored people, as well as valuable educational reports. The directory will also contain the name and address of Colored property holders. There will be a "Who's who among Negroes" of Memphis, dearments with cuts and sketches of prominent Negro citizens. There will also be a good account of the part of the Memphis Colored boys played in the recent world war. There will be pictures of the various boys who now service in France with statues concerning the draft. Those who are responsible for this ew feature in the commercial life here are endeavoring to present the facts as to the life of the Negro to make him realize what is expected and required of him as a citizen; therefore they are sparing no pain nor expense in making this book appropriate as a souvenir and handy for reference. The South Is Slipping Traveler Gets Much "Het Up" Over Administration. Permitting Colored People To Occupy Pullmans Says "If this is Government Control of Railroads, then to Hell With Government Control." BIRMINGHAM, ALA., July 23 — The white South is slipping in its propaganda of race hatred and injustices. In fact, it is dying and the death is anything but peaceful, as may be attested from the very descriptive statement of one W. Fellows, white, who is very much "het up" over the Railroad Administration permitting Colored people to occupy Pullmans. The Associated Negro Press has investigated the person referred to by Mr. Fellows and earns that they were people of the highest intelligence, college, graduates and in every way-demonstrating refinement and culture. But, hear what follow Fellows has to say: "There is, another new record which the railroads are making under United States control when I wish to call your attention to, which I feel sure that you have not been informed of. It will not be necessary to go into any special details except to tell you the actual facts that I know, which I think when the attention of the Alabama legislature is called to it, they will take measures to provide against such occurrences. "On May 23 I left Baltimore, on a train carrying a through Pullman car from New York to New Orleans. A lady with two small children had reservation in the same Pullman car that I had mine. The children were of an age that they had to occupy the berth with the mother. The train left Baltimore about 8 or 8:30 p.m. and Washington about 5 or 10 p.m. This lady had retired with her two children, occupying the lower berth. At Washington, a Negroman came aboard the train and he was put in the upper berth over this lady with her two little children. This Negro had a through ticket from Washington through Virginia, Tennessee and a little corner of Georgia, through the State of Alabama down into or through Mississippi. This was on train known as No 41, leaving Washington on the night of May 23. "Returning from Birmingham on June 5, after great difficulty, I managed to get reservation in a Pullman to Roanoke, Va. The car was over crowded all the way up, white passenger after passenger, to my certain knowledge, were refused reservation in this car. Somewhere between Knoxville and Bristol, Va. I think at Johnson City, Tenn., two Negro men camp into this car and were assigned to Section 1, the lower berth of Section 2, opposite Section 1 was occupied by a young lady. Section 2, next to Section 1 was occupied by two young ladies. "It is a a well-recognized fact that the newspapers mold public opinion. After reading your news item, I am wondering if the government control of railroads is starting a propaganda to continue the operation of the railroads. "These facts which I have given you in regard to the passenger accommodation are not exaggerated. It is a fact, and every word of it is true. "If this is the policy of the government control of railroads, personally, and you will find 90 per cent of the white men of Alabama with me, to hell with United States Government control of railroads. "It is not at all necessary to call your attention to the annoyance of having to meet these Negro men in the toilet and wash room. You can imagine what it is." AGED COLORED MAN BURIED.WITH.HONOR NEW ORLEANS, L.A., July 23.—"Ola Peter" Water, 76 years of age, former servant of the late Arthur A. Maginnis, and one of the most familiar figures of New Orleans who died early Sunday morning, was buried Tuesday at 3 p.m. Mr. Brown served through the Civil War with his master, and seventeen years ago when Colonel Maginnis died, he bequeathed the aged Negro $10,000, two of the family's carriages and horses and the house at 1536 Polynya a St. in which Mr. Brown died. The Death of Mr. Brown caused genuine sorrow in the hearts of prominent people in New Orleans. Every member of the Cotton Exchange knew Mr. Brown, and expressions of regret were heard from all sides when the news of his death was received. The room in which his body lay days automobiles and carriage drove up to the old house in Polympia St., where members of many prominent families came to have the last look. Many Confederate veterans attended the funeral and "tape" were sounden on the body was lowered into the grave in Sonat Cemetery, while years dimmed the eyes of many white people present.

Miss Kats, Gordon, white has just 'sacred' the following statement regarding the opposition to the constitutional amendment for woman suffrage. "The reason why they see such harm for the South is that the Negro population is not limited to the South." There are enough Negroes 'n Ohio, New York, Indiana and Illinois to turn elections. Just now the Negro has a power he never hag before." A labor party has admitted him to equality of membership. This party offers them an acceptable alternative. True, not paid to vote the labor ticket, but in a position to drive a bargain. And the bargain these Democratic leaders warn us against comes in the form of a concession: "Supose they demand that the Republican Partyrotee Prides of 1944 to reduce representation in Congress and the electoral college to any state that makes 'special discrimination' in conscription with the franchise."

JEST-A-MERE THEATRE Finney and Whittier THE COOLEST PLACE IN TOWN, WONDERFUL MUSIC. PLENTY OF SEATS. SATURDAY, AUGUST 2. The whole story is a contemptible surrender to political party expediency by the Democratic Party. We of the South are expected to accept mutilation of the Constitution, wink at frauds and call Democracy the one party tyranny that we have endured to maintain a white majority. The reward the South has received for insurrevering allegiance to the Democratic Party as a white man's party is to access the Federal amendment continue the frauds or "farting harm will result" because on four states not in the South the Negroes hold the balance of power. These wrathy women have confronted us with one more danger involved in sacrificing the integrity of self-governing states with invasion by Federal power. They have shown conclusively that the Negro is the political umpire in the United States. EXPECT 5,000,000 NEGROES TO MIGRATE TO NORTH CHARLOTTE, N. C., July 31.

It was the greatest reception that he has yet received from this great church.

The other two wounded are officers. It is said that the trouble started when the policemen attempted to arrest some Colored men who were fighting among themselves. They presented this and the spread of the news caused clashes between the whites and the Negroes in several places. Fearing a general race riot the city authorities appealed to the naval authorities for additional protection. A detachment of sailors and marines was sent from the naval base to patrol the streets where the trouble started. Subscribe for the Argus. $150 per year.
