SOUTHERNERS ARE PEEVED AT INVESTIGATION An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. IX NO. 39 SOUTHERN ARE PER INVEST DISFRANCHISING OF NEGROES IS GIVEN HEARING Black And White Thunder Clash In Meeting Before Congressional Committee. Refuse To Have Pictures Taken With Negroes Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 12.—For the first time in a number of years, Congressmen from the South, who are holding their memberships because of disfranchisement of Colored Americans, "had their feelings hurt," and became noticeably pecked in the hearing before the Congressional Committee. Wearings, which were resumed immediately after the holidays, have been filled with startling events, from "thunder" of white Southerners answered by "thunder" of dark Americans, to the wild howls of Southern congressmen refusing to have their pictures taken of committee meetings, "with Negroes as a background," as they put it. Among those who have offered evidence before the committee are James Weldon Johnson, William Pickens, Walter F. White, James A. Cobb and George H. Murray. All officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. William Pickens, field secretary, always courteous but painfully frank seemed to "get the goal" of the southerners more than any other. Dr. Pickens brought out the following fact: the election of members of Congress, one man in Georgia outvoted 4 men in Pennsylvania—or 5 men in California—or 0 men in Kansas, or 7 men in Colorado, or 8 men in Delaware, 9 men in Indiana, 10 men in New Mexico. "This showed up the unfair political dealing of the South, and this extra voting power of the one white man in the South is due to the disfranchement of Colored people. There is just one state worse than Georgia in this suffrage failure, the state where I was born. Unfortunately the scandal is not only national, it is international. United States citizens are taunted the world over with the hypocrisy of pretening that they enjoy a Republican form of government when, by force, fraud and violence, Colored citizens are deprived of the ballot and are murdered in cold blood when they claim this prerogative of their manhood and womanhood." CITIZENS FORGETTING THE WOUNDED SOLDIERS Much has been published in the daily papers, lately, regarding the Public Health Service Hospital, at S800 Arsenal. Considerable attention is being given to the comfort and amusement of the white soldiers recuperating there, by various organizations and persons at the hospital. Investigations made by an Argus representative show that the 42 Colored men at the Hospital are not so well cared for as the whites. This is the mostly to neglect by the citizens. The Negroes are housed in a separate hut. The whites have pool tables, library, piano, motion pictures and sturge for recreation; while the Colored have only a plano. A hostess and general staff of eight persons are provided by the St. Louis Chapter of the Red Cross. These are all white. An orderly cares for the white hut, but the Colored boys care for theirs among themselves. If the proper request is made by influential Colored citizens, the boys believe the Red Cross will give them a hostess of their own race. The Red Cross Headquarters are in the Equitable building. Mrs. Hammer is in charge. GETS TEN YEARS FOR LYNCHING WHITE MAN Associated Negro Press GENEVA. Ala., Jan. 12.—Joseph Glissandner, one of the allied lynchers of Alto Windham, a white man, was convicted of manslaughter in the circuit court here and given a sentence of ten years, a The lynching of *Windham* was attributed at the time to alleged insulting remarks which he was said to have made to a woman.

Mr. Muse had a brilliant career here, taking an active interest in holding Mace prosecution of every court and leading battles. The St. Louis Argus REDUCTION OF REPRESENTAT'N NOW DOUBTFUL Atlanta Journal Claims Republicans Have Assured Southerners Nothing Will Be Done During This Session Of Congress. Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. At closing the hearing of Census Committee of the House of Representatives, Representative George N. Tinkham of Niskin County declared that any reappointment bill passed by Congress would be disputed as illegal by him in the Federal Courts. Wm. Monroe Trottier, Sec. National Equal Rights League, also appeared before the Committee in favor of reduction. The Southern members were much disturbed by statements of both Representative Tinkham and Mr. Trottier interrupting the Congressman so much that the Committee adopted the rule that witnesses should not be interrupted until after they had finished their statements. Mr. Trottier's charges of Southern distrainchishment made before the hour for adjournment already cured the session through protest by Aswell of Louisiana, Bee of Texas and Larson of Georgia; that any statements made after the time of adjournment should be stricken from records. The correspondent of the Atlanta Daily Journal writes his paper that "Southern members of Congress have been assured privately by influential Republicans that there will be no serious effort made to reduce the South's representation in Congress, because of that section's alleged discrimination against Negro voters." It is felt by many that the attempt to rush through reduction legislation at this session before the newly elected Republican majority comes into power, was a mistake. Washingtonians who have followed the hearing closely are pessimistic about the results. N.A.A.C.P.

REDDING'S SANITY IS BEING TESTED "Prince Of Abbysinnia" Is On Trial In Chicago For Disturbances Last June Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, IL. Jan. 12.—Grover Cleveland Redding. "prince of Abbysinnia and royal envoy extraordinary and minister pleiopotentary of the empress of Abbysinnia to the United States" was examined by Dr. Clarence E. Newman, superintendent of the psychopathic hospital with a view to determining his sanity. In the meantime his trial with eight co-fendants for murder in connection with the June riots at East 53th street and Indiana Avenue, was halted. The test of Redding's sanity was conducted at the request of L. Barnett and Cameron C. Latter for the defense. The existence of his claims in promotion of a home-going expedition of Chicago Colored Fok to "their Abbyshmulah Fatherland" was cited as evidence that he might not have been mentally responsible for the disturbances that followed the Indiana avenue ceremonial parade. While Redding was being examined in case of Sam Tupp, one of the co-fendants of the捕捉ed affair a search that began this month was settled. It was decided that in swearing in the jury already selected each man would be asked questions regarding his ability to give Tupp a fair trial, thus forestalling any objection that the hearing was illegal, inasmuch as the defendant had not been present when the jury was chosen. The trial of the "Abyssimians" is being watched with much interest. It was in the June disturbance that Policeman Owens defended the U. S. flag being three wounded.

The usual perfunctory investigation is on, but it is not believed that any of the murderers will be apprehended, and the coroner's jury is expected to bring in a verdict of "Died at the hands of unknown persons." "We are all allomed to destruction," said a white citizen of the more conservative type, "unless the South, puts a stop to lynching. Not only are we willing ourselves economically by the laboring and business class of Negroes leaving the South, but we are sure as fate moving to a federal law against lynching (that will bankrupt the states like Mississippi, Georgia and Texas where there is so much of this quitrage.

MURIEL GATEWOOD FREED OF MURDER AT POPLAR BLUFF Fifteen Year Old Colored Girl Is Acquitted Of The Charge Of Putting Poison In Soup At Place Of Employment. Special To The Argus. POPLAR BLUFF - Mo., Jan. 12—Muriel Fatewood, the 16 year colored girl charged with the murder of George Abington by putting poison in soup on the evening of Sep. 17, was acquitted of the charge at midnight Saturday by a jury, after two hours' deliberation. The trial began Thursday, Jan. 6. The girl was discharged from the Abington home, where she had been employed for the alleged theft of a twenty dollar bill a few days before the time of the poisoning. The state attempted to prove that the girl attempted to kill the entire family rather than to be exposed to her mother for the theft of the money. Witnesses for the defense testified that the girl, at the time of the alleged poisoning was in another part of the city. Dr. J. L. Brennan, a criminalist, declared the soup in which the poison was found, six grains of arsenic poisoned on rats to the ounce. The case was based wholly on circumstantial evidence. The jury deliberated two hours over the case before bringing in a verdict. In the meantime Judge Ing sent secret notices among the colored people in the court room, to show no demonstration at the reading of the verdict. After the reading he ordered the Sheriff to arrest anyone who showed approval or disproportion. The girl is the oldest of nine children in a family of moderate circumstances.

Represented By Vaughn and Garner. The St. Louis Court of Appeals discharged Clarence Towns from custody of the Police of the City of St. Louis Thursday morning on a writ of Habeas Corpus, sued out by Towns' Attorneys, the Messrs. George L. Vaughn and S. E. Garner. Towns was arrested on the 22nd of December and held for the Authorities of Little Rock Ark., on a charge of Grifft Larceny and Receiving Stolen Property. A warrant of Receiving Stolen was issued freely of December, but Towns' Attorneys fought in the Circuit Court and in the St. Louis Court of Appeals and secured his release on the ground that the authorities did not comply with the laws of Interstate Rendition. The Prosecuting Court from Punski County, Arkansas was present in the Court and took part in the argument. The St. Louis Star last week carried a front page article on the matter, referring to the tactics of the attorneys as legal tricks, but the judgment of the Court this morning vindicated their action. Towns' wife and three children live in St. Louis with him and the children are in school. THE URBAN LEAGUE HAS CONFERENCE ON UNEMPLOYMENT Fifty white and colored men and women representing employers, industrial employees, the ministry, laymen, and social agencies came together last Friday evening at the request of the Urban League to discuss the present unemployment period. In opening the conference, George W. Buckner, Executive Secretary, was told that 25,000 people were unemployed of whom 5,000 were Negroes. The reasons for calling the conference as given were; first, that with the alarming increase in immigration and the fact that we have just come upon the outer edge of industry the laying of 5,000 Negroes in this district was portentous and demands serious consideration on the part of the well-thinking people. Second, that some means should be obtained for finding jobs for these now out of employment. Third, to maintain our present status and to move higher in industry, we must increase our efficiency and reduce the usual complaints which employers hold against Negro labor. In the absence of Mr. Fader, Government Expert, Miss Tattersall of the Red Cross made the opening address. She urged upon all employees to be more punctual and thrifty and take advantage of their present opportunities. Mr. C. M. Hubbard, Secretary and General Manager, Providence National Hospital, outspoken this year the number of applicants had increased 35 per cent over that of last year. Ministers and others entered vigorously into the discussion. It was wonderful indeed to see employees from fourteen different plants and ministers from several denominations together with representatives from various social organizations grappling together with a common threatens our economic existence. The conference unanimously endorsed the following statements. First, that the ministers lay before their congregations the necessity for holding their present jobs. Second, that any old jobs or new openings would be sorted to the Urbane league and Y. W. C. A., the only colored employment agencies. Third, that ministers and employees and all civic and social organizations would use every opportunity to improve the efficiency of colored industrial employees in order that the future of the Negro in industry may be assured and enhanced.

A new wrinkle in criminology was uncovered Saturday night, Jan. 8, when two supposed "Brown Skin" Negroes held up, the Mimack Dance ball at Kine and Jefferson avenue. According to the police report the men went to the hall, which is on the second floor, and ordered everyone to hold up hands. One man gathered about $55.00 while the other held the gun: Davis the proprietor, stated to an Argus reporter that the men came up the hall to any other Negroes who were going to the hall that the first one drew a gun and told him to hold up his hands, while the other grabsed about $55.00, the night's receipts, and escaped. When the man with the gun started down the stairs, Davis says he reached for his gun and began shooting. The first shot hit the robber in the shoulder, who yelled "O Lord! Don't kill me." Davis says he kept on shooting and out of five shots he hit the man three times. The police report mentions only two, the other being a wound on the right ear and the side of the head. The wounded robber ran on Jefferson and west on him, pursued by Davis and Police man Hanenman, to Beaumont where he was captured. Has Theatrical Makeup So deceptive was his makeup that the robber sent him to Hospital No. 2, for investigation, where Dr. Wilson, on examination, identified the robber's "brown skin" was only the paint of the kind used by theatrical performers and its wearer was a white man. He gave his name as Frank Weber of 1702 Stoddard Street. Other is a Real "Brown Skip" The other man, who escaped with the money, was a real "Brown Skin". His name is Leo Alexander, alias "Climp" 1619 Linden street. He was arrested in the Union Station Tuesday night, with only thirty cents on his person. Both men have prison records. This is the first instance in the history of crimes in St. Louis where a white man was found to have used any other than a black face makeup to deceive the victim and fasten the blame on some Negro. It is a question how much the deception has been used. MANY INNOCENT NEGROES PAY FOR CRIMES DONE BY BLACKED FACE WHITES MANY INNOCENT NEGROES PAY FOR CRIMES DONE BY BLACKED FACE WHITES Associated Negro Press BALTMORE, Md., Jan. 12—One of the most forceful means of getting "our side" before the American public has been the use of splendidly written letters to the daily papers, of the country. In hundreds of cases, from one end of the country to the other, these letters are published. Occasionally these letters are "too hot to handle" and are published— not. Lucien B. Watkins, the talented poet, sent the following letter to the Baltimore Sun, the same going unpublished: "A news item in the SUNDAY SUN, Dec. 19, related the case of Mrs. Dan- ridge Robertson, of Pittsburg who staged an audacious hone-pocus and claimed that she had been brutally outraged been carried out her shameful lie "ETA by two Negroes." Could this woman have carried out her shameful lie doubtless two Negroes would have been caught, identified, and with the normal result following a charge of this mature against a Negro in America. "In the many white newspaper accounts of Negro assaults I have read the story of a Negro who had the siberity that the perpetrator of the deed may have been a burnt cork Cork Cussion. Any unprejudiced thinker knows that a disguise as a Negro is the most natural thing to expect of the white culprit who would divert suspicion from himself and his race: White offenders have been caught when no disguised. "As long as the practice perilis in this country of disregarding the evidences favorable to a Colored defendant and of accepting as proof of his guilt the 'positive identification' of a more or less hysterical woman-witness and accuser, so long will many as innocent Colored men be executed and the guilty person escape punishment," a sham trial, with its consciencechallenge, is nothing less than an executive lynching.

To accomplish the above desire, it is essential to attend school daily, as we realize that education at this time, is one of our County's greatest needs. Whereas the high cost of living crisis, re-emphasizes the need for thrift, since thrift promotes saving upon which the re-adjustment of wages and prices wait; Therefore, be it resolved, that the pupils of Garnett School, Room One, recommend wise spending, intelligent saving and pledge to carry out the said resolutions in every possible way. Be it further resolved, that the secretary be, and hereby is instructed to send a copy of these resolutions to our assistant superintendent and Primary Supervisor, advising them of this adoption; Whereas our teacher, Miss Octavia M.

Combined, it is a crack-a-jack good show that Bob Russell has arranged for the patrons. After a medley of songs, by the company, the fun begins with a farcical complication entitled: "The Doubles." Two sisters of like appearance, played by Hosephine Russell and Edna Taylor, each invite a man to visit them. The guests prove to be doubles and as they arrive at different times, one is taken for the other an a barrel of fun is the result. Lovejoy and Fairchilds play the male parts and keep the audience screaming by their antics. The novelty called "The Monkey On a Slack Wire." It is a clever comic in balancing and juggling by Alfie Johnson, of the saw-dust arena fame. The closing, piece is called: "Trouble Alley," and presents a couple of females, known as the "Stameless Twins," who take advantage of the absence of the "folks" where they are employed, to invite a couple of good time males to visit them. These individuals have a ragging good time but overstay the limit and are made to marry the girls, who later turn out to be heiresses. It's a continuous hilarity and goes big. The leading parts are played by Clara Smith, Lou Fairchilds, Bubber White and Harry Gray. There are several good song and dance numbers included in the production, and Clara Smith puts over another winner singing "Sweet Papa." "Twenty Minutes In Hell", Next The feature piece in next weeks show at The Booker Washington is called: "Twenty Minutes In Hell". It is the story of a Simp who dreams he has sold himself to Satan and spends twenty minutes in the fiery domain. The theme is based on the church society and the underworld.

The villainous fellow officer, Captain Hector Grant, will be played by Frank Elliott, who headed the cast in the original production of the stage play in London.

On Wednesday and Thursday, this theatre will offer "The Fatal Hour." It narrates the struggles of Nigel Villiers to recover his title and estate, of which he has been deprived by two scheemers, a burlesque actress and a gentleman. Adventurer.

Mabel Julienne Scott, Milton Sills, Ann Forest, and Elliott Dexter are in the cast. THE COMET — On Sunday, The Comet Theatre will offer "The Country That God Forgot." It is a story of the desert and its perils and privations. The wife is misled by the beautiful illusions which the stranger paints to her of the big city, and not realizing the true devotion of her husband leaves him. But the survival of the dittest soon reveals the character of her new lover, and hides on the burning sands, she realizes how much she loves her husband. On Tuesday this theatre will show "The Spreading Evil." It is not a story of war, but a heart-drama in which two loving hearts—her's an innocent on the altar of a parent's greed. The big feature next Thursday at The Comet will be "Hellotrope." In brief, the plot deals with a convict, a "lifer," who secures a pardon from prison in order to protect his daughter. The latter believing herself an orphan, has become engaged to a rich young man and now, though innocent of the approaching blow, is about to be blackmailed by her rascally mother. How the ex-convict, by means of hellotrope perfume, of which he is singularly fond and with which his wife has always associated him folls the wicked woman and finally, by giving his life, saves his daughter is unfolded in a picture that is certain to rank with the best in many months. THE STAR—Pauline Frederick in "The Woman in Room 3", will be the feature at The Star Theatre this Saturday. It is a domestic entanglement with plenty of excitement and a final tragedy. On Sunday, the offering will be: "Will You Marry Me?" It is a picture that strips the shroud of ignorance from the grisly skeleton of intolerant prejudice. One of the mighty questions dramatically set forth is, must a sweet girls future be blackened, her reputation ruined, her child—girlish—habe—thrust into a life of infamy, soley because she loved not wisely but too well? The powerful human document: "The Stealers" will be the feature offering at The Star next Thursday. Based on Divine faith and the potency of true love, "The Stealers" impresses one as a living, throbbing sermon, elevating and at the same time entertaining. The action rotates around a clergyman, who affronted by the faithlessness of his wife, swears vengeance against God and proceeds to carry out his purpose by leading a life of crime under the protection of his sacerdotal cloak. How the power of faith eventually saves him and the other members of his society of crime is the big punch of the story. MUSICIAN WANTED — Violinist and Piano Player, in Motion Picture Theatre.

A corporation with a capital of $100,000.00 has just been formed for the purpose of smoking photograph records, using exclusively the voices and talent of colored people. It has long been a subject of comment that although colored people are very large buyers of photograph records our best voices and high class musicians have had no recognition from the large white companies who furnish all the records that are supplied. At present only three colored people sing for the records only of the hundreds of artists that are employed in this work. One of these is making purely comic records another is singing big blues and third is singing his own unaccented songs.

At very great expense Roland Hayes produced some of his own records a few years ago, but the cost was so heavy that he could not continue it. The organizers of the present company believe the demand on the part of the race in perpetuate the voices of its best musicians must be met and that such records will sell. While not depreciating the commercial value of comic songs, "blues" and ragtime songs, the new corporation proposes to furnish every type of race music, including sacred and spiritual songs, the popular music of the day, and the high class ballads and operatic selections. It proposes to use some of the most famous quartets concert artists, church and school choirs and glee clubs, together with many colored yuenderville acts, for which contracts are being prepared and sent out. The organization of the company is in charge of Mr. Harry H. Pace, who has been identified with the establishment of some of the largest and most successful business ventures of the races including the Million Dollar Sedent Savings Bank & Tunst Company of Memphis, Tennessee.

E.—The Lane Tabernacle revival has been unusually successful and Rey, N. L. Smith announces that over two-hundred new members will be added to the church before Monday night, when the Gospel singer, William Lewis, will make his final appearance. Rev. Smith's illustration Sunday morning of Satan trying to temp Christ was very touching. He made a beautiful comparison with the general unrest of today, and said Satan was very much in evidence. He warned Christians that they could not combat Satan by merely shouting around the altar. We must manifest Christ in our every day lives he said by fighting cell and above all things, the speaker advised endurance to the end. Tuesday evening a special meeting will be held for all new members and candidates for baptism.

CHURCH. 3966 Fairfax...There have been the steady hum, and buzzing of the busy bees within this live, for these two weeks just ended. - Rev, W. M. Moody M.

He said in some districts a teacher might have only one pupil and receive one-hundred dollars a month, where another had fifty pupils and received sixty dollars a month. President Richardson Speaks The thirteenth number on the program was the name of President C. Richardson, president of Lincoln Institute. President Richardson was called upon to give the Negroes' view and to quote some of those present, "he did." Not a moment of his twenty minutes was lost for a point on the subject he was discussing. After telling what it meant to the State to have all its citizens educated, and how one group could not rise by keeping another group down, Prof. Richardson told the educators of the State in plain words some of the unjust discriminations that are being practiced upon the Negroes of the State from an educational standpoint. He said in part: "The Governor has asked for an educational program from this body. I think as conferences trying to do the best thing, we should be frank in our discussions of the problems, that a solution may specifically come." "You have discussed the raising of the standard of the teachers of the State and require every teacher to have so many hours of college work as a qualification. I say Amen to that. But, gentlemen and ladies, where are the men and women teachers of my race going to get that college touch from. To be sure, not from this State. And according to your idea of education for my race, my boy or my girl would have to go away to Washington, D. C. or to Nashville, Tennessee, or some other place. some other state who is more liberal than his home state; while your boy and girl can get all this training right here at home. I ask you, you as educators, is it fair? You require of me a standard, and yet you legislate obstacles in my way. "Let us all be democratic. If higher education is good for you and yours it is also good for me and mine. "In some of the rural district of this State the Negroes, in order to give their children some education has to play the part of a millionaire by maintaing two homes, one in the cities, so we can send our children to school in winter and one on the farm for summer." This statement evoked some laughter, yet the point went home. Much comment was heard with reference to President Richardson's speech and many who heard his strong, logical and bold talk seemed to see the man through different glasses to see the man have heretofore viewed him.
