Minister Vindicated In His Suit Against St. Louis Clarion. Editor Robinson Acknowledges He Slandered Minister. Promises Retraction And Repentance. Prominent Members Of Clergy Intervene And Urge Settlement After Case Is Called For Trial. "ALL MEN-UP" SAYS GEN. WOOD "All Of The Laws Should Be Obeyed By All Lynch Law Is Barbarous, Inhuman; It Is A Belle Of Savagery. Should Be So Treated." JOHN H. HARRIS On Tuesday of this week in Division No. 1 of the Circuit Court, Rev. B. G. Shaw was awarded a judgment of $25,000 against G. C. Bidston, author of the St. Louis Charlton. Rev. Shaw had two sights for libel pending against this publication, one of which he dismissed after a conference composed of prominent citizens and ministers, who appealed to Rev. Shaw to settle the litigation and not pursue the matter further in court. After an agreement was reached that a judgment was to be entered against C. K. Robinson for $250.00 and that he is to publish a retraction in the Clarion, Rev. Shaw consented to a dismissal of one of the cases and judgment for the above sum in the other. The case had been set; jury selected and preliminary arguments had been made by the attorneys on each side. In the mean while, friends were binary trying to effect a settlement. When the sheriff announced that all witnesses in the case are dismissed, a sigh of relief came to the faces of the anxious crowd. Pathetic Scene. A pathetic scene was witnessed when C. K. Robinson after having acknowledged that he had labeled and blamed Dr. Shaw, rushed up to grasp Shaw's hand, begged forgiveness and said, "I will never do it again. I have been misled." Rev. Shaw shook hands and said, "Do as you have promised, retract what you have said and I cannot, as a minister of the gospel, but forgive." Rev. Shaw makes statement. Rev. E. G. Shaw when seen by a reporter of the Argus after the case were settled: a serious relief and as happy because he fully vindicated before the world. I cared not for the money that goes with the judgment against the Clarion; it was vindication I wanted and that is what I received. "I whate to thank and congratulate my friends who have stood so sobly by me during the progress of this case. I never had a greater friend in all the world than my church. They were true and loyal to me and never weakened after they knew the facts in the case. Now, that the case is about settled, naturally I am relieved of a tremendous burden, and I shall enter with all my might in ore fully my charge work, with the hope of burning the mortgage within the next two or three months, and I shall enter with all the activity of my soul and body into every other area for the advancement of my people as a race in this city. I shall stay my part, as a man, not only in religious affair, but in church and political as well. And consequently do I hope to give to my people the city but there is in me politically, for that comes next to my church." He further said, If the Negroans are to get their rights as guaranteed him by the constitution of the United States, he must get it with his ballot. "I am sure I will not have to convince my friends or my enemies where I stand to be party, for I have pursued but one course along this line, and that is the line of Republicanism," he said. The St. Louis Argus "ALL MEN UP" SAYS GEN. WOOD "All Of The Laws Should Be Obeyed By All Lynch Law Is Barbarous, Inhuman; It Is A Belle Of Savagery. Should Be So Treated." Leonard Wood Publicly Dept. CHICAGO, Ill. Mar. 5. Special—Every member of the race who attended the big annual convention of the Lincoln League of America here February 12, is still talking about the half-square speech made by Major General Leonard Wood before the convention. It was one of the frankest expressions of the views of a great public man on the problems confronting any section of the citizenry of America that has ever been presented. Furthermore it impressed every delegate with the absolute conviction that General Wood, despite his candidacy for the republican presidential nomination, was not making his talk merely for voter-getting purposes, as has often been the case in the past, but absolutely from a sincere desire to see justice done at all times for all the people that he may be chosen to govern. "I believe in upholding the constitution of the United State," was his first declaration. "And that means that all the laws should be obeyed by all, and that ALL citizens should enjoy the privilege under the constitution. "Law and order come first in my mind as essentials for the stability of the government and the happiness and satisfaction of every citizen, white, not black or yellow. We must neither have border not bound nor birth as far as our government in an honest, satisfactory manner be maintained. The constitution guarantees freedom of life and property and we must see to it that the constitution is our guiding force, in peace and war, in all our actions toward our people. "I am absolutely opposed, and always have and always will do everything in my power to oppose the iniquilious tyrch law. It is barbarous, inhuman; it is a rebel of savagry and should be so treated. It is against the finest traditions of our great country. It violates the splendid tradition which gives everyone, regardless of any outstanding features, the right of trial by a jury of his peers, the right to protection under every branch 'of our law until he is adjudged guilty. "The colored soldier was one of the heaviest fighters in the great war that the conflict produced. He always has been so, in the affairs of the United States. I want to call particular attention to the work of the Tenth Cavalry, which once it was my pleasure to command. Are any of my old soldiers in this audience?" "One here!" came a cry from one corner of the big hall, and General Wood saluted and was saluted in turn by the former warrior. Several other men sprang up and indicated that they too were in the brave Tenth outfit and were recognized by their beloved former commander. At the conclusion of his speech General Wood was forced to an impromptu reception in the street outside the hall, so enthusiastic were all the delegates for him. His reception was in marked contrast to that accorded Governor Lowden of Illinois, also a presidential aspirant, and whose close connections with the millionaire-Pullmans who instituted the Pullman car system and made millions from it. Leonard Wood undoubtedly is the right candidate for the colored people of America, at least as far as one can gather from the way the Lincoln delegates, from all over the country received him. Chicagouns Backing Wood CHICAGO, March 3—There has been much relicensing among his Colored people of Chicago and other parts of Illinois, since Col. William Cooper Proctor, Manager of the Leonard Wood Campaign for President has announced that General Wood will enter the primaries in a contest for delegates to the National Convention. There are thousands of voters of this section who have longed—for an opportunity to vote their preference for Leonard Wood, because they know where he stands. The Illinois fight will be watched by the entire country, and will doublebless be a big surprise to those who underestimate Leonard Wood's popularity. Louisiana For Wood NEW ORLEANS, La. March 1—Indications point to the fact that Leonard Wood will have the entire Louisiana delegation in the /National Convention. Walter L. Cohen, who has been a law and careful observer of the political trend of events, has returned from Chicago, where he heard Leonard Wood speak, filled with enthusiasm for the great Administrator.

Cor 7th and Olive Opposite Regal Entrance on 7th Street Opposite Regal Boston Daily, 5th &amp; Stephen, 5th Ave. SUNDAY, MARCH 7----EXTRA SPECIAL "A Gun Fighting Gentleman" Harry Carey in the best of his WesternCharacter Roles ADDED ATTRACTIONS: Martin Johnson with "The Cannibals Of The South Seas" And a 2 Part Rainbow Comedy, "The Bull Throwers" THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN "Of all words of tongue or pen, the saddest are those, it might have been." John Greenleaf Whittier was not thinking of baseball when he peped those lions. Boy it is a wonderful game. If I had quoted those lines to the members of the St. Louis Giants Baseball Club in the third game of the series with Foster American Giants every man on the club would have admitted "It might have been." When the St. Louis Giants and the Chicago American Giants stopped upon the playing field at Broadway and Charleston Ave. Sept. 11th, not a man on either team thought of anything except victory. Both sides were filled with confidence. Both sides were sure of themselves and sure of success. O, but when it was all over the Chicago Giants had won a grand and noble victory. The St. Louis Giants had only memories of plays that "might have been." The baseball student, who is really fair, considers the merit of the play in itself. If it were the proper play under the circumstances, he offers criticism of the performance because it failed. A large percentage of plays on the diamond fall because uncertainty is the nature of the grand old game. The plays that might have been are team but weren't Loyalty to the home team, but weren't Loyalty to the home team, in the first game of the series, things looked very rosy for my boys, in the first inning of the game, the Chicago club was retired in order on some fast playing thanks to my young short stop, Holt. Now with the fans relling up stepped Loyals, for St. Louis, Strike one, Ball one. Ball two, and the next one Lyons hit for two bases. Man on second nobly out! My heart was beating rag time with joy. Wallace sacrificed but unfortunately bunted the ball straight into Francis' hands. Result Lyons caught in the run up. One down and a man on first. Bennett next up, hit a fast one to DeMoss who in return doubled Wallace and Bennett. Tough luck. Second inning Chicago was blanked again. Blackwell up for St. Louis, on the first ball pitched cracked, a live one to center. Kennard following, him made an attempt to sacrifice Blackwell to second. Pan bunted the ball straight at Johnson and Blackwell was forced at second. Pan attempted to steal second on the next ball pitched and was thrown out by Brown. As all plays are given by the Captain, no one could blame Dan. But had Dan realized the importance of that bunt; in all probability it would have been better executed. As small a play as that turns many a game. The St. Louis club might have staged a decisive rally then and there. As Dan was under instructions then one can not even question him, as that was his instructions. I contend that any team to be a winner must be able to sacrifice. It is foolish to say Kenard cannot bunt, as he is one of the best in the business. The play was pulled too fast and he bunted too hard and directly at Johnson. Instead of a man on second with one out, there was nobody on and two out. The play that might have been." did not materialize and St. Louis paid the price. Later on in this game a more important play came up and again was improperly executed. Gatewood had relieved Drake and Gate and Holt failed to complete the play—property. Not because they did not know for both attach the importance to the play which it properly deserved. With one man out in the ninth inning, Gains hit to right-center, a peach, DeMoss hitting next, drove a fast bounder to Gate. Gate had a perfect double play before him. He should have whirled and thrown, the ball to Holt, who was sprinting for second. Gate should have met Holt with the ball ten feet from second so that the shortstop could have gotten it, touched second and whip ped the ball to McAdoo, virtually with one motion. Had this been done the Chicago club would have been retired with out further trouble. But O my, it was a heartbroker. Gate waited till Holt reached second, then threw the ball low. Gains was forced at second but Holt, could not make the play on DeMoss at first. The fans will remember what happened after this play. I know the St. Louis club is not composed of quitters, but believe me I was ready to do the "Steve Brody" act. The breaks were against my boys in all the games played that week; they played hard and every man wanted to win and I know it would have been their hearts' delight to beat Poster. A careful study will reveal the fact that they failed to take advantage of their opportunities in ceratin plays and gain future profit in plays. "That might have been." I bank on a fast double play. It's great.

Miss Williamson, pats over a spirited song and dance and Boyton goes with, "A Good Drink is Hard To Find." The act closes strong with an imitation slide-trombone novelty with dance. "Capt," Mae Kemp has a budget of stories and songs on her experience as an ambulance driver. She keeps the audience laughing over her anecdotes on the "dough-boys," and incidentally tells a few little secrets on the "Buddies." Her original conception of "Smiley" sang with the theme on Equal Rights makes a pig hit with the audience. Minstrel) Morris, the nutty, juggler, is a laughable division from the usual performers in this line. Although his juggling and balancing of various objects are most cleverly executed, he adds a continuous running fire of wifi ramps him a real comedian as well. He drolls of drollest humor and the audience never lifes of his work. Zook and Norton close the show with a skit called "The Recruiting Office." Mistrel shows the skit. role. Mr. Zeek, as her only recruit, strikes a bilarious note in the crowd the instant he enters. He enlists, and his answers to the questions are screamingly funny.

The thrill of big dramatic moments that throb with human emotions, has been achieved in "The Broken Butter- fly," which will be seen at the Star next Tuesday. It is a dramatization of the story "Marcena." Marcine is a character that appeals directly to the sympathies. The pathos of the virgin-hearted girl who gave all to the man she loved, was branded as a scarlet woman by a narrow-minded and bigsted woman who tried to brutalize her sensitive nature and break her spirit, and was driven to attempt self-destruction, is overwhelming. The story is that of a youth who goes to a small town in quest of an heirloom on the theory that marriable youths always leave such towns when they grow up and the heirloom go to waste. When he arrives, his first move is to locate the town go-up, knowing that he will get all the necessary facts about the place and the inhabitants from her in short order. He locates the group in the person of Hetty Carpenter, and he immediately engages lodgings at her home. Hetty tells Dunham the entire history of the town and its people in jae rai militia. Before them, dava, dava, ope, ope, Dunham himself is in a hair way to win the headdress. Janae Lockwood.

Moore, Realty Dealer 204 N 4th St. The South and the Negro A Southern College Professor In The Southern Workman Any race incorporated, but taking no responsible part in citizenship, is a daring cross element. Any people from whom rights are withheld or on whom incapabilities are imposed are likely to give trouble in proportion as they approach the ideals and the intelligence o the ruling class. That there should be any ruling or dependant class is incompatible with democracy. For anything that breaks the solidarity of community life, it is wrong. of its citizens, imperils the hope of democratic ideals. The South, thereafter, faces a grave situation—a situation in which there is no hope of adjustment except on grounds that are fair and just and generous and in which all take part. No partisan bitterness, no sectional bias, no racial prejudice, no selfish insolence may enter into this larger hope. A general friendliness must take the place of racial and industrial antipathies. All citizens must be given the privilege of rising to their full height as human beings. Intelligence must dominate public sentiment and a kindlier religion rule in the minds of men. There is no hope for the South if the Negro, one third of the population, is to remain underdeveloped and inefficient. Every injustice to the Negro is an injury to the white man and imperils the best interests of the National life. If the Negro is to live among us, then we must give him a chance and an equal chance with all others, not by handling things down to him but by helping him to get up; not by working for him but with him, not by tips and charmity but by a fair wage, just treatment and proper recognition of his worth.

Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abridged. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The Colored vote in Ohio constitutes 17 per cent of the total Republican vote in Ohio, and it has been, in national elections, a dependable 17 per cent. At no Republican National Convention, since the enfranchisement of the race, have we been given a voting representation. This year we are asking a voting representation. We feel that at least two delegates, one delegate-at-large and one district delegate, would at least be accepted as a compromise representation. The Republicans in Ohio are entitled to 48 votes in the National Convention to be held at Chicago in June next. If the dependable Colored vote is allowed two votes out of that 48 we would have a representation only equal to a fraction over 3 per cent of the total Ohio representation in the National Convention. In asking for at least two voting delegates in return for a 17 per cent dependable voting strength, we feel that our request is reasonable. We put the proposition squarely up to the Republicans in Ohio who are anxious for party success at the polls in November next. We put the proposition up to the Republican party, not as a threat, or as an excessive representation as compared with our voting strength, but as a plea for simple justice. Although the race contributes a necessary 17 per cent each election to assure Republican success at the polls in Ohio we have never enjoyed more than one-fourth of one per cent of the patronage given out by the party as a reward for fealty, and as an incentive to continued fealty, and such patronage as we have enjoyed, and do enjoy now, has been in the shape of inconsequential positions—there being an absence not only of "quality," but quantity as well. We are not, in our demands, bolshevists or sovietists who demand the lion's share for a minority's contribution, and with the threat that if it is not forthcoming we will start out a wrecking crew to demolish the hope for party success. We have come, though, earnestly and resolutely asking for something like a near approach to equity, and we trust the party leaders will heed our plea, and accord us justice. We ask this year that it be made possible for the race to have a voting representation in the Republican National Convention by giving us one delegate-at-large and one district delegate. Every year, for until four, years ago, even though we asked and yearned for a voting representation in the National Conventions, we accepted an "alternate" delegate-at-large—a mere "decoration," with strained equanimity hoping that the next quadrennial would bring to us a fulfillment of our hopes—a voting representation. We put squarely up to the Republicans in Ohio this year—up to the leaders, the question: "Are we asking too much?" We—the 150000 Colored, voters in Ohio, do not believe we are asking TOO much—we hardly think we have asked for the equitable. We endorse your stand, brother editor. We are fighting for the same thing in Missouri. THE BOND ISSUE AND THE NEGRO. It is reported that everything is now ready for the bond issue which is soon to be submitted to the voters of St. Louis for their approval, except the passage of a labor bill, which is now before the Board of Aldermen, which provides that the labor be done by Union men only. Of course, it is impossible for every body, group and interest to be satisfied with a big question like the bond issue. But we can not hold our peace when we see class legislation and race discrimination put into a project, fostered by the City, that is to be paid for out of the public treasury. The Negro as a laborer or tradesman is, as a rule, denied admission to the labor and trade union, and any agreement on the part of the city officials to employ only union labor in carrying out of the plans contemplated by the bond will be accepted by us as prima facia evidence that these officials favor class legislation and racial discrimination in the administration of the city's affairs, and the bond issue will be met with stern opposition on the part of the Negroes of this city. PAGE EIGHT ARTICLE XIV. CONSTITUTION Citizenship Rights 1. All persons born on States, and subject to the citizens of the United States, and where they reside. No force any law which shall or immunities of citizens shall any State deprive or property without due to any person within its protection of the laws. WE ARE NOT ASSUMED (From the Clerk) The Colored vote in Ohio or Republican vote in Ohio, and it depends on the race, have we been in this year we are asking a vote at least two delegates, one delegate would at least be accepted. The Republicans in Ohio are Convention to be held at Chicago. Colored vote is allowed two votes a representation only equal to one Ohio representation in the Nation. In asking for at least two votes per cent dependable voting structureable. We put the proposition square who are anxious for party succession. We put the proposition up threat, or as an excessive repressing strength, but as a plea for sin. Although the race contributes election to assure Republican such never enjoyed more than one-four given out by the party as a rewired to continued fealty, and such party enjoy now, has been in the shape there being an absence not only. We are not, in our demands, the lion's share for a minority's that if it is not forthcoming we demolish the hope for party succession. We have come, though, earn something like a near approach to leaders will heed our plea, and as we ask this year that it be a voting representation in the Riving us one delegate-at-large. Every year, until four years yearned for a voting representation we accepted an "alternate" delegate with strained equanimity hoping to bring to us a fulfillment of our hope. We, in the past, have accepted recognition, in the shape of an smothering our disappointment, into the campaign, and helped we. We put squarely up to the to the leaders, the question: Are we—the 150,000 Colored vote asking TOO much—we hardly equitable. We endorse your stand, broth same thing in Missouri. THE BOND ISSUE It is reported that everything which is soon to be submitted to approval, except the passage of the Board of Aldermen, which is by Union men only. Of course, it is impossible for us to be satisfied with a big question can not hold our peace when we crimination put into a project, for paid for out of the public treasury.

GENERAL WOOD CHAMPIONS CAUSE COLORED AMERICANS INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. March 1 — The humble Lincoln was the first great American to deal justice with the black man. He set its free, but the assassin's bullet pierced his brain before he could give to us all the instrumentalities for our advancement as full fledged American citizens. In our generation the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt opened widely the door of equality to his colored brother and to a square deal to all new recruiters in the Booker T. Washington dined with him through the whole country but in a bowl. But now he has been taken from our midst. God in His wise providence, however, has left us without a champion. He has raised up General Leon Wood, the greatest living American to lead His people. You know we need never be die heartened for we Late God's children Leonard Wood publicly addressed us at the Lincoln League saying, "Today the important thing is Law and Order. There is no group that stands for Law and Order more than you Colored people. You should be protected from mob violence. You should have equal rights. There should be no class legislation, we should have a free and untrammeled United States." Not since the days of Lincoln have such words been uttered by a man seeking presidential honors. He tells us where he stands and any candidate for president who does not publicly state his position on the race question cannot expect the Colored vote. General Wood will be the next great republican leader. If two millions of colored voters have anything to say about it, "A second Teddy folks! a second Teddy." Any man or woman twents one years old can organize a local Wood Club by writing host to the National Colored People's Wood for President Club, Indianapolis, for literature, buttons and information. This is an opportunity for Colored and women to prove to General Wood that they want a man for President who will give every American black or white a square Deal. THE ST.
