Grand Jury Also Investigating Lynching Of Negro School Teacher. Anglo-Saxon Justice Urged By Judge Park. Governor Says, "Every Man In Georgia Must Stand Equal At Her Bar Of Justice." Must Wipe Out Every Vestige Of The Blot. COWINGTON, Ga., April 12. — One of the most remarkable criminal trials in the history of Georgia has just been concluded with the conviction of the defendant. A jury composed of twelve good, representative white citizens of Newton county, seven of them, like the defendant, being farmers, have convicted a white man on a charge of murders committed under the most indulgent and revolting circumstances. The defendant, John S. Williams was sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Convicted of murdering one Negro, while eleven bodies were found on his farm in Jasper and Newton counties and at least three others were killed and their bodies thrown into a pond. have enough evidence which I can produce to indict six or seven and the true bills will cause a sensation." The Williams boys: Marvin, Huland and Leroy, have not been apprehended. From good reliable source comes the information that they have escaped to Mexico. Governor Dorsey has offered a reward for their arrest. COLORED WOMAN LYNCHED IN MISSISSIPPI Found Hanging To Tree. Was Mother-in-Law of Man Lynched On April 4 Governor Satisfied "The result of the trial," said Governor Hugh M. Dorsey, "is not only what I had hoped it would be for the sake of justice and the good name of our state. It was also what I had known it would be if the wish of every good citizen could receive effective expression. "Judge Hutcheson, Solicitor Brand and the officials and man of Newton county did splendidly what every good Georgian wanted to see doe. They gave Williams the fair and impartial trial to which he was entitled. They discarded allke all prejudices and any temptation to be vengeful. In punishment how they been mediated the law and restated the fact that every man in Georgia must stand equal at her bar of justice. I could lend only my influence to help them. I shall continue to lend it and do everything in my power to see that investigation and action wipe out every vestige of the blot which the Jasper county reevaluations put upon the state's reputation. "If anywhere," Governor Dorsey ended, "men have been asking what Georgia means to do about such things, this superbly orderly trial, the verdict rendered this morning, and the grand jury probe which begins in Monticello next Monday are an answer Georgia would ask to have considered." The jury never considered the possibility of acquitting Williams, it was learned from some of the men who composed it. And from the moment they entered their room for deliberation they promised each other there should be no mistrial through a failure to reach an agreement. "We wrangled and wrangled so long," said one of them to the correspondent, "that I couldn't even guess how many ballots we took. The whole difference was about whether we ought to break his neck." Right for Hanging The division was eight for hanging and four for imprisonment on the first ballot, when Judge Hutcheson's charge was redeveloped at half past twelve this morning, and when at one o'clock the jury went to bed. It was the same when they took their first ballot at eight o'clock today. And one of the four men who refused to hang Williams was known to his associates as "the hardest headed man in Newton county," who never in his life had budget from an attitude once taken, so rather than spend more time and more of the people's funds in frillless discussion the eight compromised with the four. **Meaning Trial** The time for the trial of Clyde Manning. Williams' principal accuser and self-confessed accomplice is unattainable. Public sentiment urges no great delay, and Solicitor Bradd stated today that he would try Manning as soon as Judge Hutcheson would give him a court. William Sons Flue To Mexico MONIACELLO, Ga., April 11. — Following the return of a dozen murder indictments against John S. Williams, his three younger sons and Clyde Manning, the Nugrawhose sensational confession revealed the "murder farm" atrocities, by the Jasper county grand jury this afternoon. Solicitor-General Doyle Campbell announced tonight that an investigation will be made into the killing of two other Nugrawhs by other individuals in different parts of the country. One of the first phases of the raid began taken up by the grand jury was the framing of Dugene Hamilton, the Negro preacher and arrested teacher who was a such victim of Negro violence several months ago. "I have grown accustomed to a number of new horrors in this trading," and Dugene Hamilton, "to face." The St. Louis Argus have enough evidence which I can produce to indict six or seven and the true hills will cause a sensation." The Williams boys: Marvin, Huland and Leroy, have not been apprehended. From good reliable source comes the information that they have escaped to Mexico. Governor Dorsey has offered a reward for their arrest. COLORED WOMAN LYNCHED IN MISSISSIPPI Found Hanging To Tree.

WHO DISCOVERED NORTH AMERICA Harvard Professor In Book Proves That The Negroes Sailed Here First. Were Here Before Christopher Columbus Was Born BOSTON, Mass. — Who discovered America? Columbus in 1492. Not on your life. That is old stuff and nonsense founded on myth and imagination. So says Professor Leo Wiener, white, professor of Slavic Languages in Harvard University, and he gives his-proofs in a new book "Africa and the Discovery of America." According to Professor Wiener, black men from the Guinea and Congo sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, traded with the Indians, and some of them came to America and settled three hundred years before Christopher Columbus was born. Here are some of the proofs presented, which have set Boston and Harvard University by the ears, the more so, because Professor Wiener is an authority on the history of civilization and has an international reputation. He points out that in Columbus' accounts of his voyage to America, Columbus said he had heard of Africans reaching a continent in the west and that he went first to Africa, to verify it before sailing. A good part of our present opinions about Columbus the discoverer, he adds are frauds and "horrible lies." Tobacco Professor Wiener adds, as well as sweet potatoes, yams, manicox and peanuts were brought here by Africans. "It is a historical fact that in 1502 Negroes in large numbers were living in America, and smoking and raising tobacco. Even the wampum belt, always thought of Indian origin, I have found was an African product and the making of it was taught Indians by the Africans. MRS. ALVA V. COOKE YOUNG EDITRESS DIES Mrs. Alva V. Cooke, editor, and publisher of the National Defender and Sun and wife of the founder of this paper, the late James D. Cooke died Saturday evening, April 2, at 6:30 o'clock, following an operation for appendicitis. Mrs. Cooke suffered an attack of appendicitis last January. She was advised by the physician at that time an operation would be necessary, but she postponed it on account of the then impending trial of the man who killed her husband. On Thursday, March 31, she left the city for Milwaukee, Wis., where she hoped to rest for several weeks preparatory to the operation. When she reached Chicago she was feeling so ill she returned to Gary. By the time she reached her office she was in such misery an immediate operation was decided on and she went to Dr. C. W. Ralnes at 1977 Broadway. She rallied well from the operation and hoped to be out very soon. Friday night she became very sick and a taxicab was sent for her sister, Mrs. Zenobia Bagby. She rested well after Mrs. Bagby arrived, but gradually sank until the end came. The late J. D. Cooke met his death last September by being shot by one Christopher C. Carter, who is now serving an eight months sentence in the city workhouse here. Mrs. Cooke never recovered from the nervous shock caused by the untimely death of her husband.

He said in part: "We are here today to pay our last tribute of love and gratitude to our honored and sainted dead. Here lies the mortal frame of our beloved brother, Jake Linder, who fell in action on foreign soil. He has made the supreme sacrifice to give the world that Democracy and that larger life of impartial brotherhood and justice which he, himself never knew. "The heroes of this world's war living and dead, established the fact that however strong an individual, race, or nation may be they cannot always prosper in the ways of tyranny, sorrowful self interest, and injustice. For a period they may hold their fellows in awe, but their day will come. The late world's war has proven that fact. "It has been clearly demonstrated in this war the passion for freedom, of heredism, soldierly restraint, fidelity and devotion to one's flag, is not conditioned upon race or color. This casket contains the remains of one who gave his best. No one was more responsive to his country's call and ideals of freedom than Jake Linder." "America, our beloved America, for which we cherish one hundred percent patriotism and loyalty. America for whom this young man died. America who carries in her bosom, race hate and mob violence; where human life has little value, and the murder of human beings in the most dreadful ways is pastime as common, that neither press our pulpit speaks against it. "Men of the Legion, be strong and courageous. "God is for the right. Your courage is gone. He has put the drift we all over."

TO IDLEWILD VISITORS St. Lembasa, if you are going to INTRODUCTION OF NEW ORCHESTRA AT THE FASHION SALOON The Metro-Magnific Club, a lately organized group of enterprising young men, will present an extraordinary occasion of wonderful effect on Friday evening, April 22, in Pythian Auditorium. The promoters are busily engaged, endeavoring to make the Bluebird Checker Dance the grandest affair of the season. The fact that such a form of dance has never been featured by colored promoters makes it interesting. The question of significance might occur here. With the return of Spring, comes reminiscence of happy moments, sunshine over days of gloom, and nature's smiling face through the budding of trees and bloom of fair blossoms. The "Checker" effect remains untold as a surprise. Owing to Easter's inclement weather many were unable to demonstrate their "fronds." To those persons, since the hall will be a Fashion Saloon with the balcony as a reviewing stand, late Spring attires will be an appropriate dress. The decorations, being in accord with the occasion will differ from that of previous affairs. The rainbow effect from the spotlight will be a striking point of interest and note. Introduction of Frazier's Synoptic Orchestra will be the principal attraction of the evening. The jazz harmonizers promise to spell "cheer" with in the hearts of all present. Such recent hits as the "Whang, whang Blues" "And she'd say, Um-Hum," and "Monastery Bolls," a waltz, will be featured. It is absolutely impossible to unfold the finest details of luxury until Friday evening. April 22.

CONDOLENCE Isn't it sad but beautiful to go thru life for seven years with nothing but kindness and devotion and consideration for one another, then to share each others trials, sufferings, illness, misfortune then to have to sleep apart for only 39 hours? Such was the passing of Henry and Ella Morgan Grant. Mr. Grant, who had enjoyed fairly good health until recently, was stricken fatally on last Monday, April 11 at 3:30 p. m. and Mrs. Grant, who has been ill for over three months, passed away on Wednesday at 7:15 a. m. It is certain that Howard, the only son and child, while he may suffer untold moments of sadness, realizes that his parents have brought him to an age of manhood, capable manhood, which makes him realize fully that their sufferings were so great that they are not dead but sojourning in the Great Beyond and taking a much needed rest. Mr. and Mrs. Grant resided at 4237 Finney avenue. Mrs. Grant was a member of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, while Mr. Grant was a member of Central Baptist Church. A Friend M. J. T.

You have gone to that bright mansion, Which is your eternal home; You are gone but not forgotten. Nor ever shall you be; No matter where on earth I am, I will kindly think of thee. IMOGENE BROWN, wife. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear husband and father, Chas. Busby, who departed this life four years ago, April 11, 1917. Surrounded by friends we are lonely. In the midst of our pleasures we are blue; A smile on our face still a heartache. Aching and longing for you. There are sorrows so deep in the uncomfort, And wounds that can't be healed; There are sorrows so deep in the human heart, That cannot be half revealed. Sadly missed by wife and daughter. Parthenia Busby and Albefta Miller. FIX GRAVES EARLY The season for filling and sodding graves is now at hand. In order to avoid the usual rush in May we advise the public to have this work done now.

THEATRES GOOD MUSICAL SHOW AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON Billy Mack and his Merry Makers have a show this week that is an improvement on last week's offering. The program is in two parts. The first is a minstrel with the girls in male attire. It is quite musical and includes the usual jokes and lively dancing. The chorus work is conspicuously harmonious. Among the song features are: "That Thing Called Love," "Margie," "Sweet Papa," and "Mammy." Mack and Buckner are the fun-makers. Buckner fills the interim with a line of talk that creates much laughter. The closing part is "humorous concoction called "Lightning Change Artist." Its merely a burlesque deception in which a number of good specialites are introduced, including an Old Plantation Revue. The Jazz Band is a big feature in the show. The engagement will close Sunday night. Mc GARR & DEGASTON'S RAG TIME STEPPEPS NEXT Jules McGarr and Gallie DeGaston will come to The Booker Washington next week with their "Ragtime Steppers." This is one of the nifty shows on the road. It is noted for artistry in dancing, "good looking girls and catchy music. DeGaston is a St. Louis product and has a big following here. Misses Pease and Johnson, the Jazz Queens at The Manhattan Cafe and Dance Parlor announce that their program of song features during the coming week will include: "If You Don't Want Me," Blues; "Do You Ever Think of Me." "There's A Boy on the Level for Every Girl Thats on the Square." AT THE MOVIES MANY FEATURES AT THE STAR The program at The Star Theatre during the coming week is one of the best ever presented by the management. On Saturday, "Woman's Man;" and on Sunday, "Heart of the West" will be the features. Monday, Emily Stevens will be seen in "The Place of Honeymoons." It is a vivid love drama that grips the heart and stirs the emotions of young and old alike. Benefit Tuesday On Tuesday, a Special Matinee will be given for the benefit of St. Paul Conference Claim. The program will include "Someone in the House," a two part Western. A Good Comedy, and the 9th episode of "Double Adventure. "East Lynne" will be presented on Thursday. The plot is so familiar as to require no detailed synopsis here. How Isabel Carlyle is influenced by Francis Levison to doubt her husband, deserts him and her son to go with Levison and returns when abandoned by him to die in her husband's arms is shown in such manner as to charm with a freshness that argurs well for a full house next Thursday. AT THE OLYMPIA Gladys Blackwell in "The Sage Hen," on Sunday: Jewel Carman in "Silver Lining" on Monday: William Russell in "Iron Rider," Tuesday: "Highest Bidder," Wednesday: "Lure of Ambition," Thursday, and "Mad Marriage," Friday are leading features at the Olympia Theatre for the coming week. "FOOL'S GOLD" AT CASINO The Casino Theatre will present Mitchell Lewis and Florence Turner in "Fool's Gold" this Sunday. It is a supreme production, justifying the old adage, "A Fool and His Money are Soon Parted." "Jungle Child" on Monday: "Dice of Destiny." Tuesday, and "Something Different." Wednesday, are other features of the week. "BARE KNUCKLES" AT LINCOLN William Russell in "Hare Knuckles" will feature the Lincoln Theatre program this Sunday. Needless to say it bristles with daring deeds. Alice Brady in "New York Idea," on Monday, "My Lady's Latch Key." Tuesday, and "The Saphead," Wednesday, are some of the week's features. PEARL WHITE AT CRITERION Pearl White in "The Mountain Woman" will be featured at The Criterion this Saturday. The picture contains some intensely dramatic situations, which include a dangerous logging trip down the river, a hotel fire, and the burning of an immense grain elevator. The sub-titles are said to be delightful, the quaint humorous speech of the mountain-ers being faithfully recorded. The Sunday feature will be "Lying Lips." In this story of women of the world, you will open the innermost chapters of Humanity; you will see things that you have never seen before. You'll be thrilled and amazed over the swiftly moving events which include spectacular scenes seldom equaled even by the prowess of the magic screen. Viola Brown, pianist; and James Campbell, violinist; are furnishing the music at this theatre. "ROAD DEMON" AT MOVIE Tom Mix will be seen in the daring and rockeled riding picture "The Road Demon" at The Movie Theatre this Sunday, Charlie Chaplin in "Behind The Screen" will be another feature. The balance of the week will be filled with special subjects. "EAST LYNNE" AT JEST-A-MERE The screen revival of "East Lynne" will be presented at The Just-a-Mere Theatre three days, Sunday Monday Continued on Page 6 A BIG PICTURE FILLED WITH THRILLS SEE—The Head-on Collision between two rapidly moving trains.

PAUL CONFERENCE CLAIM An All Star Cast in "Someone In The House A Pulsing Story Of Rogues and Romance The tale of a Crook who played Safe in Love and Crime Until— A thriller of night time and love a jewels and remorse and Tuesday. It is a story that has kept its popularity for sixty years among the millions who read it as a book and saw it as a play. It has survived not only for its dramatic strength, its sympathy and the great names of the stage that have been associated with it, but primarily because of its wholesomeness. Only what is straightforward and clean can stand the test of time—especially in this country where the lurid and the lewd is but a matter of the moment. On Wednesday and Thursday, the feature will be, "Nobody's Girl." It is the story of a baby saved from a shipwreck by a crew of smugglers. She is reared among them until the jealouay of the wife of one of the men causes her to fear for her life. She escapes in an open boat and is rescued by an aviator. Then she reveals the work of the smugglers and incidentally becomes somebody's sweetheart. BUCK JONES AT COMET Buck Jones, the clever cowboy actor, will be seen at The Comet Theatre, Sunday, in "The One Man Trail." The story revolves around the elopement of Buck's sister in the play. Buck follows to bring her back, falls in love on the way, and meets with some thrilling and humorous incidents and accidents. Buck and his horse, Blondy give some fine entertainment in many scenes. The cowboys also give an exhibition of some "treat 'em rough" stuff in a farewell send-off to Buck. Another big special at this theatre will be William S. Hart in "O'Malley of the Mounted" on Thursday. In this thrilling photoplay, Mr. Hart is seen as a member of the Royal Northwestern Mounted Police — that famous organization which long has been a source of terror to the lawless characters of the Canadian frontier, because of its unfalling rule, never to quit until they have captured the man or men they are after. Sent forth to capture a murderer, he begins his quest only to find the man he seeks, the brother of a woman he learns to love. He resigns rather than arrest the young man who, he learns, has justifiably killed a scoundrel. AT THE PENDLETON Hobart Bossworth in "Below the Surface" will be The Pendleton feature this Saturday and Sunday. The hero is a stalwart New England deep-sea diver who not only risks death to save people trapped in the ocean depths but also courageously saves his son from disgrace at the hands of a shrewd crook and his pretty girl-accomplice A steamer crashing into a derelict in the fog and the sinking of the steamer with all on board; a record dive to free a submarine grounded on the ocean bed; a brilliant cabaret invaded by the old diver and his battle to rescue his son's wife from her evil companions—these are some of the thrills. On Monday and Tuesday, Mildred Harris, will be seen in "The Woman in His House." It is the story of a neglected wife, a too busy and ambitious husband, a philosopher friend, and a baby. How mother love triumphs where science falls and straightens out the crooked limbs of the child is revealed in a fascinating story. With the approval of the Board of Directors of the People's Hospital, Mr. E. L. Harris is undertaking to paint the walls of the hospital. He has made an appeal for a fund of $500.00 for this purpose and makes the following report of contributions, received to date. Previously Reported $105.00 J. Ross $5, Dr. C. M. Powell, $5. A. O.

Ordinarily, if per chance a man was seen going down the streets of a civilized country with some mysterious brand upon his forehead, spectators would follow him a country block, declaring all the while that he was from some heathen land. One's mind would be upon the jungles of Africa. The heathen nation would be foremost in one's mind. But dear reader, your mind may rest when you think of Texas—right here in America, right here where the boast of civilization is proclaimed upon the housetop. This organization known as the Ku Klux Klan is made up of that unscrupulous class whose very existence is contempt of law. Then exist?

It has been said that the regu law failed to find any one guilty of Johnson. If the constituted authority list that they have flatly refused to lawry, then its the duty of Congress case in hand. institutional class whose very existence is contempt of law. Then why should such an organization exist? Has crime against the peace and dignity of the State become so great, that a gang of outlaws must be called, in to uphold the laws? We are told that the Ku Klux Klan is a licensed organization in several states in this country. Cod forbid that any state in the United States should have a set of officers so "little," so one-sided, so corrupt, so cowardly, that they will turn over to a band of niteriders, those sacred trusts that the people have given them. It is nothing less than a surrender to mob violence for any state to countenance any such deviltry. The marks upon the forehead of the subject of this discussion is a disgrace to any heathenland, and a tragedy upon any civilized country. It will be proper here to mention the offence for which this extraordinary punishment was inflicted. It is charged that Johnson, a bell boy at a hotel, had been seen in the room of one of the women guest. Being seen in the room with the guest, he was arrested. The guest failing to acknowledge any wrong-doing with Johnson, a charge of vagrancy was placed against him. He being employed at the hotel at the time, the vagrancy charge was automatically-dropped. Then came in the Ku Klux Klan with its dirty work. It has been said that the regular constituted (?) officers of the law failed to find any one guilty of participating in the branding of Johnson. If the constituted authorities of a state are so weak or so derelict that they have flatly refined to protect citizens or to punish outlawry, then its duty of Congress of the United States to take the case in hand. We have read and reread that portion of President Harding's message which refers to lynchings and the Race question. And while it was somewhat disappointing to us, yet he said enough to be interpreted in such a way that all of our expectations may be fully met.

Of course, we expected this subject to be covered with a recommendation, which was not. The reason why, the President, himself can best tell. In approaching the subject, it seemed that President Harding was fearful and was feeling his way, and found opportunity only in "somewhat related to the foregoing" to mention lynchings. It may be that we expected too much on this subject in the President's message. We believe that the Race problem is the greatest domestic problem with which the nation has to deal. Surely we thought that President Harding was fully acquainted with the condition of affairs. Yet we are loathe to believe that he lacked in courage and backbone to tackle such a problem at the beginning of his first congress. Not that we expected a long ceremony on the subject, but we did expect some definite statement at this time. However, inasmuch as we believe President Harding to be right at heart and in spirit, we shall wait further interpretation of that part of his message as refers to lynching and the Race problem before we shall condemn him; but, in the meanwhile, we are disappointed.

Phil believes in the doctrine that it is no harm to beg when one is hungry. So he has landed a job, it is said, by underminding another man of his Race, whom it was supposed he was supporting. But, as the late Broker T Washington said, "It is hard for an empty sack to stand up straight." Had Dr. Haynes asked us about Phil Brown we would have told him that Phil was very uncuprulous when it comes to telling lies.

GEORGIA POPULATION OF NEGROES 1,106,365 The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13. The Director of the Census has issued a preliminary statement showing the composition of the population of Georgia according to sex, color or race, and nativity, as shown by the census taken as of January 1, 1920. The total population of the state, 2,895,832, comprises 1,444,823 males and 1,451,000 females. The corresponding figures for 1910 were 1,305,019 and 1,304,102, respectively. During the decade the total population increased by 11 per cent. The ratio of males to females in 1920 was 29.6 to 100, as against 100.1 to 100 in 1910. The distribution of the population according to color or race in 1920 was as follows: White, 1489114, Negro, 1206355; Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and all other, 353. The corresponding figures for 1910 were as follows: White 1431,802; Negro, 1470987; Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and all other, 332. During the decade the white population increased by 18 per cent, and the Negro population by 2.5 per cent. The foreign-born white population numbered 16,186 in 1920, as against 15,072 in 1920. This element of the population constituted approximately three-fifths of 1 per cent of the total in both 1920 and 1910. EMMETT SCOTT TO GO TO ENGLAND WASHINGTON, D. C. April 13. Dr. Emmett J.

THE URBAN LEAGUE STARTS A DRIVE FOR $30,000 IN CHICAGO By Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, April 13.—"That the Colored man is rapidly nearing the place where he will bear the burden of his own welfare and charity organizations." was the keynote at the Urban League meeting held at Lincoln Memorial Center this week. The meeting marked the beginning of a drive for $30,000 which the local Urban League is making for its year's work. The League has done excellent work under its executive secretary, T.

Taylor, executive secretary, because of certain alleged indiscretions committed through too intimate association with the young woman employed in the "Y" as secretary to the executive. A thorough sifting of the matter was had, and although Taylor disclaimed any wrong doing in his contact with the young woman, it was thought that because of the fact that both Taylor and his secretary were married persons, although living apart from their respective wife and husband, their association was indiscrete to the extent that Taylor's usefulness as a Y. M. C. A. secretary was seriously impaired. The local committee, before taking this action, had consulted Walter T. Diack, general secretary of the City board, and had been told by that official that the local board's action would be sustained by the general board, as the members of the local board had controlling authority in afairs of the local branch. City Board Refused Approval But the City Board has refused to approve the action of the local board, and through Wm. H. Sage, a member of the general board, said to be acting in the capacity of the board's attorney, word has been received to the effect that while Taylor may have been indiscreet in his actions he will not be removed as executive secretary. The statement was made by Mr. Sage to a newspaper reporter that the local Committee of Management has no plenary power whatever. The control is vested absolutely in the general board, which owns the property, appoints the local board and selects the executive secretary, who is really the general board's personal representative and amenable only to that body. Members of the local board resented the idea that they were acting in the capacity of "rubber stamps" and were simply "tools in the hands of the white board," and so they had a meeting on Monday afternoon. April 4, at the residence of Dr. Eugene P. Roberts, chairman of the Committee of Management, and took under consideration the action of the general board. Ten Members Issue Statement The action taken at this meeting was crystalized in the form of a statement signed by ten members listed above, in which a brief history of the case was given, revealing the attitude of the City Board towards the local board and the branch association, and emphasizing the fact that no self-respecting Colored man could serve on the committee under the existing conditions. This statement is as follows: We the undersigned, representing a majority of the Committee of Management of the West 135th street branch of the Y. M. C. A., New York City, desire to make public the following facts: At the February meeting of the Committee of Management, after a full and free discussion, a motion prevailed that the services of the secretary of the branch, Mr. Thomas E. Taylor be terminated on the first of May, 1521, the committee being of the opinion that the usefulness of the secretary was at an end. This vote was not taken until the committee had been assured by Mr. Walter T. Diack, general secretary, that the action of the committee would be sustained by the General Board. Subsequent to this meeting, the local committee was invited to meet the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors in what was supposed to be a friendly conference, but what actually turned out to be a Court of Review. At this meeting the Colored members of the local committee were given to understand that they had neither the power to engage nor dismiss the secretary of the branch, that power residing in the white board alone. Until then, the local committee had understood that the West 135th street branch was an association for Colored men and managed by Colored men. No self-respecting man could serve. The public ought to know that the West 135th street branch, in which Colored people have invested thousands of dollars, is absolutely owned and controlled by the white board. As an illustration of this fact, the action of the majority of the local committee in dismissing Mr. Taylor, for reasons well known, was reversed by the General Board. This information was impressed Sunday by Mr. Wm. H. Sage of that board. Of course, no self-respecting Colored man could serve on the so-called Committee of Management with the full knowledge that he was merely a "rubber stamp" or a tool in the hands of the white board. We, therefore, individually and collectively, sever our relations with the Committee of Management and the Young Men's Christian Association. (Signed) Dr. E. P. Roberts, Walter E.

These, our dead, come back to remind us of their sacrifice and their challenge. What answer have we to make? What of our stewardship? If beside their bier, stand invisible but sentient, the spirits of these fallen ones, what message have we to send to their comrades in immortality? Have we kept faith with them?" Party. Race. Creed Forgotten What can we say of our unselfishness, of our forgetfulness, of partisanship? We sent them out with a challenge to their unselfishness and their patriotism. We bade them go to do and dare and die. They went, forgetting section, party, race, creed, everything save their country and their humanity. For us and for our common country, they dared and died. ANOTHER LYNCHING IN MISSISSIPPI MERIDIAN, Miss., April 14. George Marshell, Negro, was taken from Constable Nulle at Lauderdale, late today by a large body of men and his body riddled with bullets. The outcome of the matter has caused much comment by both white and colored people of the city. It is stated definitely that many of the most liberal contributors to the Y. M. C. A. work have withdrawn their support. It is alleged that white friends who have been large voluntary contributors to the Harlem branch declare that under present conditions they will refuse further donations to the organization. Another phase of the matter which is provoking curious comment is the alleged attitude of Dr. J. E. Moorland international secretary of the Colored men's work. It is reported that he first agreed with the majority of the local board that Taylor's usefulness was at an end, but it is claimed that when the City Board let it be understood that the action of the local board would be reversed, the international official is alleged to have changed his attitude and come out in favor of the retention of Taylor. The prompt action taken by the majority of the local board will undoubtedly have its effect upon the work of the "Y." The ministers concerned are pastors of some of the largest churches in New York City and it is believed that their following will resent, by immediate withdrawal of support to the Y. M. C. A., the slight put upon the Colored leaders by the white men composing the Executive Committee of the City General Board. The eight members of the Committee of Management not joining the above action are Rev. R. M. Bolden, pastor First Emanuel Church; Rev. H. C. Bishop, rector St. Phillips P. E. Church; A. T. Anderson, J. A. Anderson; H. C. Parker, A. S. Newman, Counselor E. A. Johnson, John E. Nail. These men retain their membership on the local board and constitute the ones except the Rev. Mr. Bolden and E. A. Johnson, who voted against asking for Mr. Taylor's resignation at the meeting on February 18th.

PRESIDENT HARDING ORDERS INVESTIGATION OF WAR RISK Expected That Startling Information Will Reveal Shameful And Unbelievable Mistreatment Of Negro Soldiers Under The Wilson Administration. Complaints Of Many Ex-soldiers Will Be Heard THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO When St. Lo FOUR SCENES TAKEN D THE HOME, 4324 COOK, TO PRESIDENT HARDY INVESTIGATION Expected That Startling Shameful And Unbelievable Soldiers Under The Complaints Of N Will B Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, April 12—Startling information will be revealed in the War Risk Investigation asked for by President Harling, General Chas. G. Dawes, of Chicago, heads the Commission, and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt is one of the members. The Commission is now sitting in Washington, and during its sessions it will be disclosed that Negro soldiers, in that department, under the Wilson administration suffered shamefq and unbelievable treatment. One of the former officers who served in the War-Risk Department, Lieut. J. Williams Clifford, has gathered a fund of data on this subject, and he will offer it to the Commission. In an exclusive interview for The Associated Press, he declared: "It was because my petitions for these suffering men were practically ignored that I resigned from the department some time ago. The people will be aroused to action when they know what these brave boys are going through. "What we need is close, sympathetic contact with all former soldiers. There are thousands of opportunities to be helpful that thousands of soldiers do not know anything about. We must educate them into the advantages of war risk, but the discriminations must be stopped. Lieut. Clifford showed the Associated Negro Press Representative letters that he has received from various soldiers. Only brief questions from a new of them can be given here. Quotations From Soldiers Oscar Flewellen, of Waco, Texas: "I have asked those doctors here in camp to send in my medical record but they will not look after the interests of the Colored boys—Colored boys are treated like cattle and dogs. The officers are low bred, and uncouch, and if they are not careful a race riot is liable to occur as these boys have all decided to stick if anything occurs." S. H. Cavitt, Houston, Texas: "I write you in the interest of our Colored returned soldiers and the treatment that is given them as to their just compensation and hospital treatment. It is quite evident that they are not getting what the Government gives to them, owing to the fact that there is no one here to represent them in their grievances; as the doctors and nurses turn dead cars to their pleadings." Lord Batres, of Texarkana, Ark.: "I have just received the letter gluing that you have cut my compensation from $20.00 per month to $18.00 per month. I want to know why you cut the Colored beak and allow the whitens in the South to get $00.00 to $151.00 per month. I am asking how am I to work when I lost my chance when I entered the army, for I am now unable to walk and work and I am a cripple. I want a new rating from some doctor who shows me call me Niggy and make me wait two hours until all the whitens are waited on. I have great from over 200 Colored new Augustus Stanberry, Dallas, Texas: "It seems that all these white doctors here are giving us a raw deal, they will not, send in our medical reports so that we can get our compensations." Theodore Roe, Halley, Ark.: "I have waited patiently to hear from my medical report but it seems that no one in this camp will write or send in our reports for compensation. We do know they will write to the Bureau for the white boys but not for us." J. E. Davis, Y. M. C. A. Secretary, Marshall, Texas: wrote: "I do not know how it is in other states, but may I say to you that hundreds of Colored people hereabouts in the State of Texas are being robbed, cheated, deprived of the things rightly due them from the Bureau. I have just received information of a man's having secured an agreement from the War Risk policies for the payment of a considerable sum of the proceeds if he will adjust it or get them the money." There are scores and scores of cases similar to these many of unprintable in their scandalous debauchery. In the matter of neglect covering up and studied insult, it appears that thousands of disabled Colored Americans have suffered untold agony. NEGATIVE REPORT ON INTER-RACIAL RELATIONS IN CHICAGO CHICAGO, April 6—Prospect conditions are severely criticized and drastic reforms are recommended in a report on inter-racial relations in Chicago, prepared under the auspices of the Interchurch World Movement of North America and distributed today by the Chicago Church Federation. The report, which is preliminary to a more detailed review of the situation, attributes much of the racial animosity which caused the riots of 1919 and subsequent violence to the following influences: Laxness on the part of the police; exploitation of Negro tenants by real estate dealers; failure of the city and large industries to establish satisfactory living conditions for Negroes; propaganda and "Direct action" by white organizations of which the Kenwood-Hyde Property Owners' Protective Association is the only one named and lack of aggrievance interested in establishing better understanding. Alta painting out that the relations between white and Negro workers in Chicago is good, the report blames labor unions for refusing full rights in Negroes. The housing situation, the authors of the report believe. In the most impartial single aspect of the Race problem. After accusing real estate operators of hating Negroes into white residences we see that property values will go down, the report says. "Then the real estate operators often more these properties and either rent at a high rate or sell the houses when departed." The St. Louis Argus HOW GEORGIA FEELS WITH EYES OPENED By Associated Negro Press ATLANTA, Ga., April 13. We think the readers of the Associated Negro Press should know something of the encouraging things that are transpiring in connection with the exposure of the eleven murders of Negroes that were perpetrated to suppress the fact that the mourn of the most galling kind existed on John S. Williams' farm in Jasper County, Georgia. Clyde Manning, colored, was his right hand man and admits that he killed nine of the eleven in accordance with "Mr. Johnny's orders." Says he had to do so or be killed himself. Williams and Manning's trial began April 5th and some of the prominent whites of the State lead by Mr. Woods, white, a good friend of the colored people, have employed one of the ablest Criminal Lawyers in the state to defend Manning. Governor Dorsey of Georgia has been extremely active from the very first in pushing the case against those responsible for this awful crime. Not only so but he says there are at least fifty Negroes in Atlanta who are refugees from this unjust system. One or two employed at the State Capitol building and certain of the officials have interposed to prevent their being carried back to the country. He also says "After some of the communities in Georgia have driven away their farm labor and driven their "farm loans," they will have an opportunity to sit down and think over calmly whether it pays to deal justly with the Negro. Another feature worth noting is the fact that the daily papers of Atlanta have been extremely active in exposing and condemning Editorially the awful crimes in question; so much so that some of the Jasper County citizens are quite sore over the matter. By Associated Negro Press ATLANTA, Ga., April 13.—Resolutions strongly condemning the "murder farm" horror which led recently to the discovery of eleven bodies of Negroes in Jasper and Newton counties, and appealing to the people to cry out against such a condition of affairs have been adopted by the Atlanta committee on church co-operation. The committee offered its services to Governor Dursley and other law enforcement officials in aiding to secure convictions against those responsible for the crime. The resolution follows: "Whereas, in Georgia men have tortured Negroes, as men, worthy of the name, would not torture a beast, and have murdered Negroes, and have received no punishment for their crimes, ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, APR. 15. 1921 to pay fines, and the use of fines in payment of fees of public officials be stopped, and that all laws be impartially enforced, and by condemning any laxity in the enforcement of law by any public official. "Third. We command those citizens of Jasper county who have urged the speedy enforcement of law, and the public officials in the counties named for their co-operation, and Governor Hugh M. Dorssey for moving so vigorously and promptly to bring to punishment the perpetrators of this last crime against Negroes in Georgia. "Fourth. We offer our services to Governor Dorsey and the officials in charge of the enforcement of law to aid in any and every way possible in securing the detection and conviction of those guilty of this crime against God and man.

April 12.—That a color line never shall be drawn in a tribunal presided over by Judge Brandniller was fully demonstrated in the civil branch of the municipal court Monday when the jurist fairly ruled against a plaintiff whose suit was founded on race prejudice. The suit was brought by Farnk Schwartz, Pike street, against W. J. Thompson, 38 West Dellason avenue. The plaintiff claimed he had rented a flat in a Pike street terrace on condition that colored persons were to be excluded. When he had paid his last month's rent in advance a family of colored persons moved into the terrace. His suit was for the rent paid and for the expense of moving his household goods. "Was the head of the family respectable?" asked the judge. "I never knew him before," replied the plaintiff. "Then you object to his presence because he was black? asked the judge. "Yes." came the answer. "Verdict for the defendant," exclaimed the judge as he turned to the next ease on the docket. Associated Negro Press. HENDERSON, N. C., April 13.—Colored farmers in this section of the state are being advised by P. D. Wharton. Colored county agent to plant their own home crops first and to see that these are given first care and let the money crops wait. He has instituted a campaign that is meeting with the general approval and adoption of the Colored farmers. It is proposed to carry the campaign in other portions of North Carolina. SAYS THERE IS PEONAGE IN ALL SOUTHERN STATES SAYS THERE IS PEONAGE IN ALL SOUTHERN STATES Associated Negro Press Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK, April 12—The N. A. A. C. P. has issued a statement of Walter F. White, its Assistant Secretary, who has made several investigations of peonage in the South, and comments as follows on the cases brought to light in Jasper country. "As an isolated case, the Jasper county murder of at least eleven Negroes because they threatened to reveal peonage conditions there, is not as important as the fact that it is indicative of a wide-spread and closely organized system in the South. Horrible as the facts are, they can be duplicated in every Southern state. The Mississippi delta region embracing the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Western Tennessee and Eastern Texas, is built on the system of debt-slavery. "In October, 1919, for example, the newspapers of the country told of a vicious massacre plot, fortunately discovered in advance, which Negroes in Phillips county, Arkansas, had planned to kill all of the white people and seize their land. I was sent their to investigate the report and found that there was no basis in fact for the massacre story. A group of Negro peons had banded themselves together to rave enough money by pooling membership dues to employ a white lawyer to entry one of the cases of exploitation to court. The colored men hoped that other cases would be settled based on the decision rendered in the test case. The land-owners concocted a fantastic story about a massacre, organized mobs who slaughtered an unknown number of Negroes in cold blood and then sentenced twelve men to death and 67 to long prison terms. The National Association defended these men since then and the cases are yet pending. "In January of this year, Henry Lowry, a colored man, was burned to death in a horrific fashion at Nodema, Arkansas, following a dispute with the land owner who had been robbed Lowry, in which fight Lowry killed in self defense the land owner. "Many more cases can be cited equally fragrant. Last September. I presented in person to a representative of the Department of Justice at Washington, evidence of several ponage cases in Georgia which led to a statement later by Hooper Alexander, United States District Attorney of Northern Georgia, in which he declared that almost unbelievably horrible conditions existed in that State in the treatment of Negroes... The Department of Justice has the authority to investigate these ponage states and to punish the perpetrators. Punishment to do so will mean a still greater disturbance of labor and a loss not to the Negro alone but to the South and America. By Associated Negro Press OSKALOOSA, Iowa, April 13—William Morris Trotter, secretary of the National Equal Rights League, spoke to a large audience at the Second Baptist Church on the night of April 1st. His subject was "The American Color Problem." The address was well attended by the large mixed audience. At the salute of Mr. Trotter's address, resolutions of thanks to Senator Patterson for his stand on equal rights for CABINET MEMBERS PROMISE A SQUARE DEAL FOR NEGROES CABINET MEMBERS PROMISE A SQUARE DEAL FOR NEGROES President Harding Starts The Ball Rolling By Putting Humaneness Into Humanity. Penrose's Statement Of Justice To The Negro Startles Nation Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., April 12.—History is being made. In the words of the immortal Rev. John Jasper of Virginia: "The Sun Do Move." If you think it "do not," turn your eyes in direction of Washington. President Harding started the ball rolling by putting humaneness into humanity. The sweet refrain has been taken up by the members of the cabinet, and it is now being echoed on Capitol Hill. The latest solo in the grand chorus comes from none other than the powerful and mighty Senator Boise Kenrose of Pennsylvania, who has startled the nation in a statement of justice to the Negro. All that Senator Penrose says is truth, and it is bound to have an electrical effect upon other senators, upon law-making bodies and the people in general throughout the nation. Cabinet Roll Call. In the expansion of this idea, it is most interesting to have intimate and unquestioned knowledge of how the President's official family stands on the subject. The Associated Negro Press is in a position to state authoritatively that every member of the new cabinet can be depended upon to deal squirrelly with all American citizens. There is no disposition to sidestep any of the issues that is now confronting the people. The issues of Race adjustment are being met, and will continue to be met with frankness and fairness never before equaled. Secretary of State Hughes is giving careful and sympathetic consideration to the problems of Liberia, Haiti and the Dominican Government. His reception to the Liberian Commission was necessarily formal, but nevertheless cordial. Attorney General Daugherty, through the department of Justice, is delving into the terrible pronon conditions in Georgia and the Mississippi delta. The protests of organizations and citizens generally, that are pouring into the President and Attorney General are being given careful consideration, and so far as the government is concerned, these conditions will be dealt with firmly. Secretary of War Weeks has given assurance to those who have talked with him that there will be nothing but a square deal in his department for all. He is thoroughly interested in disabled soldiers, and in fact, all of those who wore the Uniform in the World War, and who now uphold the honor of the Flag. Secretary of Labor Davis is demonstrating to the world that he believes in justice. In the recent Packers' bedding, the Secretary of Labor stood like a stone wall in defense of treating Negro labor fairly. Secretary of the Navy labor law THE TRADE MAKER PAGES 7-12 570th Infantry KE LINDER FROM Stellyes, 4057 McPherson. ing the Weet Indies, and his opinions of conditions in Haiti will go a long way toward determining the program of achievement and justice in that republic. Postmaster General Hays is everywhere preaching the gospel of "Merit and Justice." In denomination the Postmaster General is a Baptist, and is a pastmaster in the ability to deliver the "roussements" which teach lethargy and injustice topsy-turvey. Secretary of the Interior Fall, without any noise or excitement, dropped Leut. Flippier into a berth, and gave him the opportunity to look after Alaska Affairs. The "crocodile" tears of certain clerks who formally marched before the Secretary to announce that it would be impossible for them to serve in the department with a Colored American as chief, did not move the Secretary. His response was brief and to the point: "This desk of mine," he said, "is large enough to hold all the resignations of those who do not wish to work." Secretary Mellen Lays Down Law Secretary of the Treasury Mellen during a recent tour of one of the departments under his control, happened to cast his eye upon one of the isolated Wilson segregation signs. "What's this?" he asked sharply. The exelted subordinate stammeringly attempted reply. "Never mind," broke in the Secretary. "Take it down at once, and I never want to see anything like it again. This is a government of all the people, without segregaton." Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and Secretary of Commerce Hoover will be found to be "Johnny on the spot," in the matter of upholding the new ideals of fair play. Redding And McGavok Due To Hang On April 23 Associated Negro Press, CHICAGO, April 6—Unless there comes some legal delay Grover Cleveland Redding and Oscar McGavock convicted "Abyssinians" will be hanged on the 23rd of April. Redding and McGavock are the leaders of the band of Negro fanatics who started a small riot in East 35th Street last fall in the course of which two white men were killed and a Negro policeman was severely wounded. The interference of one of the white men with a ceremony which included the burning of flags was the immediate cause of the riot. CHICAGO FEARS 8TH REGIMENT MAY NOT GET INTO NEW N. G. Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, April 12—Prominent Negroes of Chicago are becoming somewhat alarmed over the fear that the famous Eighth Regiment will not be mustered into the new federalized National Guard. The regiment has its full quota of men but no word has yet been received from Washington concerning the matter. There are grave fears that the Eighth will be left out in the cold by the government.

LANE TABERNACLE CAMPAIGN BRINGS $4.713.51 Such a wonderful message as that delivered by Dr. C. H. Tobias, who is International Secretary of the Y. M. G. A. Sunday night will always fall on interested and listening ears, and but for the Religious content of this message, the pent up feelings of the audience would have been vented in vociferous applause many times during the evening. The mystery is how Dr. Tobias makes such wonderful illustrations, yet he uses no manuscript, not even a memorandum, and when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. St Matthew 17:8. This was the text used by the speaker which he merely quoted at the beginning of his sermon, and again in his closing remarks. Dr. Tobias is a great believer in prayer, but not the Eleventh Hour Kind. Quietly and in earnest he says each individual should make intercession to God each day. When the battle gets hard and it seems impossible to pull down the barriers that loom up before you, try prayer, he asks. The speaker believes all THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, APR. 15, 1921 The have.

LONDON, UK. churches are too much in the Social Swim. Leastwise he puts if this way. The church can never be conscious of its Spiritual existence until it ceases to be a Society of mutual admiration. The text used by Bishop R. A. Carter Sunday morning is very often heard, although he proved that it is seldom mastered. He brought out some wonderful thoughts and revived some good ones also. Good Samaritan Club Bishop Carter paid tribute to Rev. N. L. Smith as a great financial campaigner, Sunday night, and admitted to the congregation that Rev. Smith out shines Rev. J. A. Winters of Chicago. Bishop N. C. Cleaves entertained the congregation while the officials prepared the final report. The house was crowded and most everone remained, all eager to hear the results of a wonderful campaign. Applause was very much in order as Dr. N. O. Bracy, church secretary read the reports. The Good Samaritan Club won with $602.35. Mrs. D. A. Walker, secretary of the club, 4222 Finney avenue was presented with a ($100) one hundred dollar cash prize for her excellent work in the contest. This of course made a total of $602.35 raised b the Good Samaritan Club. Mrs. Sarah Farish, the remarkable president received much applause as Rev. Smith presented her to the audience Sunday night. The Good Samaritan's had not an ounce of pessimism during the entire campaign. Here are a few noticeable events of the campaign: The Usker Board, who said they would not contend for the leadership made a vigorous attempt; and reported $410.00, taking second place. Trustees Anillary takes third place from The Willing Workers; Stewardess Board No. 1 best Stewardess Board No. 2. Sunday School reports $220 which is very complimentary. Cleaves Club under new management reports $221.50; Epworth Tangue reported $28.00, which was excellent. The winning president merely smiled at the congregation, while the vice-president of the second club talked very much. After checking his report carefully Monday morning, Dr. N. O. Bracy found that a mistake had been made in the total amount. Here is Dr. Bracy's last and authentic report.

April 6.—Judge Joseph David received a surprise when a jury retrived a verdict of guilty, last Monday, after he had virtually directed a verdict of not guilty. The Judge decided the evidence against Ben Smith, colored, charged with a serious offense, was insufficient, and so instructed the jury. "Under the rules," he said, "I cannot instruct you to return a verdict of not guilty. But in my opinion the evidence here is insufficient to warrant a conviction. In fact, I'm going to tell you right now that if you do not find the defendant not guilty, I'll set the verdict aside." The jury retired. After five minutes, the judge became impatient. "The, he said to his personal bailiff, "it seems the jurors are taking a long time to bring in a 'not guilty' verdict. Go and see what's the matter." "We're ready," the jurors told the bailiff. The foreman handed the clerk this verdict: "We, the jurors, find Ben Smith guilty as charged in the indictment." Judge David jumped to his feet. "I'll see that this never happens again," he cried, thoroughly aroused. This verdict is set aside. The Zucker ruling may forbid the court to instruct a jury to bring in a 'not guilty' verdict. But—well this won't happen again." Turning toward the jury he said: "You evidently think you know more about the law than the court. "We do," the foreman said. The complainant was a 16 year old white boy. Sault will be given a new trial. BUILDING HOSPITALS Associated Negro Press. LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

The fine spirit of racial consciousness that had its rebirth during the World War is being turned into something tangible by Negroes throughout the country. The Hampton Institute graduates and ex-students have caught this new spirit of self-help. They are raising sufficient money to build an equip a modern athletic field. The idea that the graduates and ex-students of Hampton should equip an athletic field with grand stand, quarter mile track, 200-yard straight away, foot ball and baseball fields, was introduced last January at a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Alumna Association. The Committee voted to support the proposition. It suggested plans for a campaign that will reach every Hampton graduate, and ex-student. Sixty leading graduates and ex-students, who have been asked to serve on the Athletic Field Committee and to give their financial and moral support, are responding in a most liberal way. Dr. R. R. Moton principal of Tuskegee Institute, pledged the first $1,000 toward the field for the Hampton graduates and ex-students who are working at Tuskegee. The graduates and ex-students who are working at Hampton have pledged more than $1,500. Robert S. Abbott, class 1890, owner and editor of the "Chicago Defender" has pledged $1,000 toward the field. This is the largest pledge to date. Hampton students are enthusiastic and have pledged nearly $1060. Graduates at Penn School, Frogmere, S. C. and at Princess Anne Academy, Princess Anne, Maryland, have sent their pledges. cent meeting gave informal consideration to the athletic field proposition and expressed their willingness to allot the necessary land. The completion of the proposed field at Hampton would enable Negro schools to hold national meets and would serve as a great factor in developing the young manhood of the country. For this reason the movement has the endorsement, not only of Hampton graduates and ex-students, but of all who are interested in developing the finest type of American citizens. Federal Investigator In Bad For Trying To Excuse And Condone Peonage BY ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS WASHINGTON, April 13.—Aghast at the atrocities of the practitioners of peonage in Georgian, the best thought among the race here in Washington condemns the published interview of Vincent Hughes, head of the bureau of investigation for the Federal Government at Atlanta, in which he, in a covert way attempts to excuse and condone peonage upon various stated grounds. The impression prevails that this man Hughes has put his feet in his mouth with a view to befuddling the fog in the prevailing expose of peonage, augmented by murder, which holds the entire country up to disgrace and smells of heaven. Hughes, in published reports, attributes the practice of peonage to the condition of the cotton market, the laxity of the laws and the fact that much of the labor in the cotton fields is depend upon the commissaries of the plantations for their food and clothing, and otherwise fails to conceal that his sympathies are with the criminals who are practicing peonage without any hesitancy of covering up their crimes with murder. It is the opinion here that since Hughes was the agent of the Government in making investigations of the benevolent practice he had the best chance in the world to investigate with a view to bringing the criminals to justice, and he should be in no manner engaged to defend the slave-holders and murderers, who robbed the poor Negroes of their labor and then killed them to keep their mouths shut. Just why a depression in the cotton market, or the fact that the laborers got their food out of the planters' commissaries, or the assertion further vouchsafed by Hughes, that "most of the beongeage victims are Country Negroes," should be any excuse for murder cannot be got through the heads of thinking people here. Those who know Attorney-General Daugherty and his thorough way of doing things, see rocky paths ahead of this man Hughes, who seems to be holding with the hounds and running with the hare. There can be no possible zone that a real, honest-to-goodness Federal investigator, interested in getting at the facts and the prosecution of violators of the beongeage laws, accentuated by murder, can exist with Williams and his type, who are the rule and not the exception upon the Georgia plantation. It is not likely that the Attorney-General will overlook Investigator Hughes' perspicacity and volatility in disposing of the motives that actuated murderer Williams. It is just simply a question of whether a white citizen of Georgia has the right to confiscate the labor of a Colored citizen and the further right to take his life if he protests. And by his own word Hughes is no better than Williams and an accessory after the fact. Sidelights Of Washington (By The Associated Negro Press) "In times like these, God give us men," has been the constant prayer of the people. The men are being given. Another example of the type is the Hon. Myron T. Herrick of Cleveland, Ohio, former governor and former ambassador to France, who will again represent this government at the seat of the world's most humane republic (in Europe.) Gov Herrick, when seen by a representative of the Associated Negro Press, at the White House expressed deep concern in the program of justice being carried out. On many notable occasions, Mr. Herrick has expressed himself on the folly of racial prejudice, and has publicly pointed to France as an example of a nation that makes merit the guiding force. Congressman Martin B. Madden of Chicago, Illinois, who comes from a district where the Colored voters are in the majority, is again active in the matter of transportation accommodations. Congressman Madden has been working against "Jim Crow" cars for a number of years. A bill against lynching is to be introduced in the House by Congressman Dyer, of St. Louis, Mo., who hails from another district where Colored voters are "up and doing." The Senator Penrose statement on civil rights is being circulated in Congress, and is still being talked of everywhere. Certain Southern Democrats like Hefflin, have put up a big howl, attaining many wild things, but the Senator has seemingly replied: "None of these things move me."

Again President King and Justice Johnston spoke. They urged upon the students of Dunbar High School a closer and a better understanding of the relations which should exist between the Colored people of the United States and those of Liberia. High School Stages Debate High School Stages Debate The four English classes invited President King and his party to be present at a debate—"Be it resolved that the credit for Five Million Dollars established by the United States government for Liberia in 1918 should be made available at once." The question was ably debated by the four speakers representing each side. The judges awarded the debate to the affirmative side of the discussion. After the debate, President King and party were given a luncheon by the principal and faculty of the Dunbar High School, to which was also invited the principals of the above-named public schools. An inspection of some of the shops and class rooms of the Armstrong Manual Training School followed. These visits to Howard University and the Dunbar High School served to give the Liberian visitors some idea as to the work in education being carried on in Washington for the Colored people of the District of Columbia and for the Nation. Some Other Vsitors Other recent visitors to Howard University have been Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Director of Research; Mr. James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary and Dr. R. R. M.

LOUIS GIANTS St. Louis National Negro League Club Wil Face the Strong Huron S. Dakota League Club Reports indicate keen interest throughout the city in the St. Louis Giants; a rousing welcome is sure to greet the husky bunch that has been rounding to form in Dixieland. Cold weather in the south has kept the Pitchers from getting in tip top condition. The boys play Atlanta. Ga., 13th and 14th. Knoxville, Tenn., 15th and 16th. Chattanooga, Tenn., 17th and 18th. Memphis, Tenn., 19th and 29th and home on the morning of the 21st. Twenty husky players have made the entire route and it is going to be a mighty hard job for manager Mills when it comes to releasing, which according to League rules must happen by May 1st. When asked concerning the Southern trip, Business Manager Mills remarked, "As far as conditioning of the men and winning it has been a great success, but owing to the cold weather it has caused a 'heavy financial loss, which is part of baseball. However, I am sure baseball will enjoy a season of great prosperity. I find the fans in St. Louis are manifesting greater interest in the local club, in fact more than ever, and it is a pleasure. It makes one feel like stepping the limit. My Club. I cannot say much only what reports I have from the secretary. I will tell you just what I think after the games with Doc. Andrews' Club. Doc at one time was one of the best third packers in the big show, and I know the boys will have to step the limit to win from his crowd. I am not a bit uneasy over the outfield and infield, but, "Gee," I surely need a pitcher or two. Can't get one for love or money. I am going to keep plugging and may be dame fortune will smile on me. Here is hoping anyhow. I have three pitchers promised to me from the Colored Southern League Club, but cannot get them until July. I need them now. Carr or Pioneer will sure place the outfield glove, they look like the ball but he need of some Jack Thompson, of Denver, went the limit before the hard hitting Harry Wills, of New Orleans, at the Odeon last Friday night. The bout was for eight rounds and the Denver giant took a terrific beating, but finished smiling. Wills carried every round by a big margin, and it was the opinion of many of the 2000 present that the New Orleans lad spared his opponent in a couple of occasions, when it seemed big Jack was doomed to submerge. The real wonder is how the Denver man stood up under what he did receive, as Harry scored often with terrific punches that seemed to have enough power in them to knock out any human being. Thompson merely acted as a receiver and did little hitting. Wills did not score a knockdown. He weighed 210 to Thompson's 207 pounds. Three other bouts made up the card. In the semifinal Lawrence Hawkins and Benny Hall traveled eight rounds in spirited fashion. Hawkins' aggressiveness entitled him to the verdict by a small margin. Lawrence won the first, second, seventh and eighth rounds. Hall took the fourth, fifth and sixth, with the third even. The boys are featherweights. The first bout resulted in a knockout for Battling Ball over Kid Jackson in the second round. The boys are lightweights. In the second bout Kid Dusty outpointed Arthur "Huzz" Hardy in an eight-round bout full of hard fighting. They weighted in at 155 pounds. BIRMINGHAM BASE BALL ASS'N OPENS PARK TO NEGRO CLUB The Associated Negro Press. The light that was brought about by white residence owners in the neighborhood of Rickwood, Ark., where the Birmingham white baseball club of the Sagittarien League plays, came to an abrupt end when Proxy W. De Smith of the Birmingham baseball association gave out a statement to the white press informing them that Frank Purdine's famous black Darros would play in the park this season. Some weeks ago, white people in the neighborhood of the park sent out petitions for the purpose of enjoining the Negro league from playing on the grounds, that they were offensive to the white people in the vicinity of the park. The decision came like a thunderhead to those who were fighting the Negroes and the public is glad to know that sport lovers and the players of the pastimes are not easily prejudiced. THE ST.

Car., April 6.—North Carolina is now boasting of 25,568 births of Negro children during last year. This number shows an increase of one-tenth of one per cent over the white birth rate. The bureau of vital statistics has congratulated the Negroes of the state on the splendid birth showing. A game series to Rube Foster's American Giants of Chicago. Tuesday, March 29 on the Morris Brown University field, by a score of 3 to 0, the Atlanta Black Crackers came back and wreaked congeance upon the Northerners at Ponce de Leon park Wednesday by white-washing them to the time of 1 to 0. Thus, out of four games in two years, the Atlanta Black Crackers bear the distinct honor of having split even with the American Giants. Last season the two chasers divided a doubleheader; this year the Chicagoans won the first and losf the second to the Atlantaans. It was the first time in 20 years last September that a Southern team had defeated the American Giants. Wednesday, March 30th, marries the first time time in the history of the National pastime that a Southern team has registered a shutout against Repeating The Big Success Of Last Season MUSICAL SPILLERS Famous Colored Jazz Band With JEAN BEDINI'S AUSTIN AMUSEMENT COMPANY WILL INCORPORATE FOR $100,000. SEVEN MUSICAL STILLS AT THE GAYETT THEATRE NEXT WEEK The Austin Amusement Co. is in hiring incorporated for the purpose of purchasing a site and erecting a large and handsome new Theatre Building on Finney Avenue. B P Austin who is the head of this company, has been exceedingly successful in this line of work having operated The Pendleton Theatre for more than five years with the capacity fast too small to accommodate the crowd for the past three years. In desiring the new theatre, provision has been made for stores and office space. This will bring in a return on the investment in addition to the proceeds derived from operating the theatre. The stores and offices located in a new and attractive building will fill a much needed want and will command a good rental. It is the purpose of the company to order a theatre that will be modern in every respect and decorated in such manner as to make it the most attractive moving picture home catering to the place in the city. Years ago a tent was erected, because the motion picture was then a novelty, but since the motion picture has become an integral part of our lives, the demands by the public for better accommodations have grown. It is well an idea of building this demand that this house has been planned. In order to make an investment in the stock available to everyone of the race, it is proposed to issue the shares at a par value of ten dollars each. The capital stock is divided into two classes. Common and preferred. The preferred stock is to be unique in that not only is it eight per cent cumulative, but it is also participating, in other words, not only will the holders of the preferred be preferred as to assets and dividends, but they are to share with the common stock in the dividends after eight per cent has been paid on both classes of stock.
