BOWLING GREEN OFFICERS SAID TO HAVE AIDED LYNCHERS CHARGES ARE MADE THAT DEPUTY SHERIFFS TOOK LEADING PART IN MOB Girl Confesses She Was With Young Hammond, The 19 Year Old Colored Boy Lynched. Says She Was Playing. Boy's Confession Only In Legal Terms. Governor Hyde Interested In Case And Attorney General's Office Is Taking Active Part In The Prosecution. special to the Argus BOWLING GREEN, Mo., May 5. Wednesday, April 27, there was an alleged attack made on a white girl. Nome Terrell, the attack was purported to have been for the purpose of rape, which occurred about 10 o'clock p. m. No one knew at the time who the parties were. There were four young men arrested. Not one of them was identified by the girl, therefore the young white men, made up the sum of $125 for the purpose of getting the blood-hounds from Mexico, Mo., to trail down the guilty party. The hounds, trailed Roy Hammond it is said, to his father's home, (this being Thursday, April 28, but Roy was not arrested until Friday morning. The girl broke down, and told that she was with the Hammond boy, but says she was playing. Hammond confessel Friday afternoon that he was with the girl, but denied he had waged her. Judge Woodfolk gave him the maximum sentence for the crime which was ten years in prison. He could not give him more, under the charges against the boy. But this did not appease the bloodthirsty mob of this once peaceful little burg. A Legal Confession It may be well to state in passing, that the confession of Roy Hammond was legally drawn to conform with the statute governing the age of consent. The girl in this case was too young to consent, she being under sixteen years of age. So even though she had gone to the rear of the church of her own valuation any attempt of familiarity on the part of a man would be attempted rage in the eyes of law. At the time the girl and boy was seen behind the church, services were going on inside and no one heard any disturbance of any kind. No attention was given to their presence by the worshippers. The sheeriff and six deputies were overpowered—(?) and the helpless prisoner, handcuffed, with no chance for life, or resistance, was taken a mile from town, and hanged to an elm tree. Demuties Join Mob It is said by those who saw the mob take the boy from the sheriff, that when the crucial moment came for the deputies to help defend the prisoner, they laid down on the sheriff and went with the mob, and that one of the deputies adjusted the rope around the prisoner's neck, while his brother made it fast to the limb of the tree to which he was hung. Roy Hammond was buried Saturday afternoon, the inquest having been postponed till Monday. May 2, but the Assistant Attorney General, upon his arrival, had the body exhumed, to determine what condition it was in, and to hold the inquest. Governor Hyde is said to be interested in the case. The Assistant Attorney General is conducting an exhaustive investigation to ascertain the names of the leaders of the mob, and the sheriff, it is said, is giving him aid and support, trying to bring the leaders to justice. It is claimed by some who saw the mob in action, that the sheriff was made a prisoner by the tearing of his hands, while the deputies, and the poorest, hungry scums of Pike county, trunched the boy. Boy Of Good Family Roy Hammond was born on a farm several miles out from here, though, this is called his home, he has one brother, older than he, one grown sister, and a small brother and sister, father and mother. Work being dull here as is most everywhere, he was not working at the time the alleged crime was committed. The story, when first told by the girl, was not believed generally, as she denied knowing her associate. Racial feeling is yet high, and only the better class of both races, are keeping down further trouble of a serious nature, but it is believed that the crisis has past. GEORGIA-LYNCHERS WILL GO TO COURT The Associated Negro Press CAMILLA, Ga., May 4.—What is declared to be the first indictment under the state Mok Violence act was returned here by the County Grand Jury against nine men in connection with the traching last January of Jim Roland, Culvered. The men will be tried next week. They are charged with mob Violence and murder. All of the indicted men except two, have been arrewed and released on $10,000 bond. Roland had also and seriously injured James Harrell white, of Grays County, when the latter tried of making him disguise himself with a number of white powder. The St. Louis Argus No Lynchers Indicted BOWLING GREEN, Mo. May 5—The foreman of the grand jury who had been investigating the lynching of Roy Hammond, which took place last Friday, adjourned this afternoon without indicting anyone of the mob. Rufus Higginbotham, Prosecuting Attorney of Pike County, when informed of the action of the jury, said: "I think all has been done by the officers and also by the members of the grand jury that could be done. All have done their duty and a very diligent investigation was carried on." Sheriff Moore was in the jury room less than fifteen minutes. He told the jurymen how the Negro was taken from him by the mob, but declared he was unable to identify any member of the mob. Edilge's Note—This investigation has merely been a farce. The verdict in this case is travesty on justice. It is an encouragement to mob violence in the State. It is up to the Governor to apply the remedy for the future. Will Governor Hyde act?—We hope so LITTLE ROCK, Ark, May 29. Governor McLay has set Friday, June 10 as the date for the execution of alx Colored men who were sentenced to death on murder charges growing out of the Elaine riot in October 1910. ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR WIFE'S AFFECTION Colored Man Wins Verdict Against Defendant in Kansas Court. A Jury Holds Sanctity Of Home Must Be Upheld, Though Negroes. HUTCHISON, Kans., May 3. —As a climax to the $10,000.00 suit filed some months ago by Orval Craig, colored, against Chas. Fife, a white shoe maker of this city, the jury composed of whites, brought in a verdict in the District Court giving Craig judgment for $1,000 and costs. The story of how Fife had invaded the sanctity of Craig's home, stolen the affections of his wife, took her in his home and how he made false charges against Craig in his attempt to humble and subdue him, was told in the court room, which was crowded to capacity during the three days of the trial. Every minute being filled with excitement and intense interest to hear each word as it came from the lips of the figures who participated in the case. In the selection of a jury, a colored man was chosen by the attorneys for the plaintiff, but the objection by the counsel for the defense was sustained by the Court, causing his withdrawal. The case drew nation-wide attention and its verdict as rendered by the jury goes down as the first case of its character which has been brought to a successful conclusion, wherein the white man's respect and reverence for the sanctity and purity of a black man's home was made evident and reparation accorded therewith. In his closing remarks to the jury Attorney Bradshaw aid down the four most vital and paramount questions upon which the case was based and which the jury irrevocably answered when they rendered the verdict. These questions deep-felt and penetrating were as follows. 1. "Whether or not a Negroes home is any less sacred to our law than that of a white man." 2. "Whether a Negro is justifiable in his attempt to protect his honor and integrity from a licentious white man." 3. "Whether a Keno County jury thinks that a black man is entitled to the same home environments as any other man. 4. "Whether a white man who is a penitentiary convict has a par-mount right to the affections of the wife of a Negro." Startling Revelations In Southern Missouri FEDERAL ACTION ON PEONAGE ASKED BY OHIO AND PENN. Resolutions Introduced In Both Legislatures Were Brought About By The Efforts Of N. A. A. C. P. Special To The Argus NEW YORK, May 4. — The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today announced the receipt of a resolution passed by the Ohio legislature and of a resolution introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature both urging a thorough federal investigation of peonage throughout the South. The Ohio resolution was introduced by Senator Day at the instance of Harry E. Davis, chairman of the legal committee, Cleveland Branch, N. A. A. C. P. The Pennsylvania resolution was introduced by Representative Andrew F. Stevens. When the peonage conditions in Jasper County, Georgia were brought to light, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People wrote to thirteen colored members in seven state legislatures asking them to have resolutions introduced urging a thorough federal investigation throughout the South. CONVICTIONS IN JONESBORO CASES Three Leaders Of Mob Arc Declared Guilty And Given 3 To 21 Years JONESBORO, Tenn., May 4. — The trial of the fourteen white men charged with rioting and storming the county jail here in an effort to lynch Cooksey Dallas, a Negro, resulted in the conviction of Wat Blevins, Walter Oliver and Berl Moody, Buford Adams, one of the defendants, took sick during the trial, was operated on for appendicitis and died before the trial was over. The jury returned a not guilty verdict as concerned him, as they did in the cases of ten others. The trial which began here on April 11th, was the center of the greatest amount of interest and some of the most prominent citizens of the county attended court and appeared as prosecutors. The Washington county grand jury returned indictments against the fourteen men, some of whom were members of the state militia, shortly after they are said to have led a mob that stormed the jail in a neffort to lynch Cocksey Dallas, a Negro, who asked that he be placed there following threats against his life. Dallas was accused of using unbecoming language to some white girls employed at the National Sanitorium at Johnson City. Between eight and ten o'clock on that night a large crowd of men, many of whom were masked, appeared in town and a general fullsedge of shots were fired in and around the jail many of the shots striking and breaking out windows and otherwise damaging the jail. A prisoner in the jail was wounded by stray shots. But for the cool nerve of Jailer Livingston, who locked the jail and armed himself, it is believed—the mob violence was prevented. The verdict of the jury carries sentences of three to twenty-one years. Cooksey Dallas was released shortly after the rioting. — East Tenn. News.

COLORED WOMAN GETS $20,000,000 PROPERTY VALUE Louisiana Supreme Court Decides Heir Of Oil And Mineral Land Is Colored Child Of Original Owner. NEW ORLEANS, May 20, Lille Taylor, a New York woman, was awarded oil and mineral rights in property in Chalborne Park, said to amount to $20,000,000 in decision late yesterday by the State Supreme Court. This decision was rendered in a suit against Angeline Allen and George West, claimants to the property. According to the evidence offered in the case, the plaintiff's father of whom she was alleged to have been an illigitimate child, sold the property to Angeline Allen and George West, but did not give them a quitclaim. The parentage of Lillie Taylor was the chief issue in the trial of the case. The court decision yesterday confirms her claim that she is the child of the original owner of the property in question. Pictures Of The Garvey Movement In St. Louis The Negroes of St. Louis were given a chance to know why the Universal Negro improvement Association was making such rapid success combined with the Black Star Line and Negro Factories Corporation as was shown on the screen in the First Free Baptist Church, Lucas and Garrison avenues. Wednesday and Thursday night (4th and 5th) and will be shown on Friday night, May 8th. The Garvey Movement does not plan a wholesale exodus to Africa as is often stated by those unacquainted with the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. and Allied Corporations, but for commercial and industrial development, educational and proper religious advancement with the unification of Negroes throughout the entire world numbering about 400,000,000. The success of 6,000,000 members to the organization is largely due to the people making proper investigations and discovering the aims of false leaders who by their flow of oratory amit the constructive programme for the race advancement and who seek to spread a false doctrine of Garveyism so that the people may support their wild cat schemes and their beautiful flow of oratory with no thought behind what is said. On Sunday and Monday, 3th and 5th, May, The Hon. Capt. E. L.

WHITE WOMAN TO GET NEW TRIAL Wife Of Wealthy Southern Newspaper Man Was Once Convicted Of Having Imperson Relation With Baxter McRary, Colored. GREENSBORO, N. C., May 4. — Judge James E. Bond in the Federal Court has set aside the verdict which was rendered by a jury on February 26th which rejected the claim of Mrs. Florence C. Varner against her husband, Henry B. Varner, both of Lexington, N. C., for reasonable subsistence pending the outcome of a suit for divorce. These parties are white, but race Interest is aroused by the fact that Varner had his defense on a charge that his wife had been criminally intimate with Baxter McRary of Lexington, N. C., one of the wealthiest and best known Negroes in the country. Varner had previously entered suit against McRary for $100,000 for the alleged alienation of his wife's affections. When Varner first gave publicity to the charge against his wife and McRary the latter's life was endangered to the extent that he was compelled to leave home and seek asylum in another section of the country He and Varner had been close friends and it is reported that Varner was deeply in debt to McRary for money advanced by the latter at various times to help his white friend in various business deals. It was matter of current report that Varner was sacrificing his wife to avoid paying these debts and to secure control of McRary's large financial resources. Judge Boyd rendered his decision after the submission of affidavit testimony and argument of attorneys that the conditions surrounding the trial in February, the formation of the jury and its conduct under officers in charge of it were such as to cloud the verdict. The decision means that Mrs. Varner will be given a new trial of her application for reasonable subsistence, and it means also that Varner has lost ground in his suit against the colored man's property. Immediately after Judge Boyd announced his decision E. T. Cansler, chief counsel for Mr. Varner, asked that the case be removed to another division of the district. Judge Boyd was willing, saying that he did not think that an unprejudiced jury could be secured in this division, and the attorneys were told to get together on the selection of the place for the next trial. When they do that the case will be moved to the calendar of that division of the court. The points emphasized by Judge Boyd as being sufficient for the setting aside of the verdict were mainly concerning allegations that F. J. Thomas, a juror, had expressed an opinion that Mr. Varner was guilty before the trial and during it before all the evidence was in; the allegation that Deputy Marshall C. T. Roanne had stated in the presence of a juryman that Mrs. Varner was guilty; the admission of C. G. Thomas and C. W. Edwards to a room in which the jury was spending the night during the trial, and the testimony of Mr. Varner that his wife had not visited her mother since 1906 Varner admitting in a letter to Judge Boyd since the trial that she did visit her mother in 1917, as she testified on the stand. 12 PAGES LEAVES HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL'S TO HER SERVANTS A North Carolina Woman Rewards Negroes For Faithfulness. Relatives Make Strong Fight But Lose. WINSTON-SALEM, N. ... May 4.—For the past year the newspapers of North Carolina have carried, from time to time, mentions in their news columns of a famous law case, in which the will of Miss Maggie Ross —who had left her entire estate of $100,000 to the Negro servants that hotly contested by all of her white had been faithful to her—has been relatives. It seems that she has no immediate family and her colored servants had stood faithfully by her during many lonely years; when her family had apparently forgotten her. Her will left the bulk of her real estate to the colored family of a mother, father and daughter who had served her for years. She left no nearer relatives than distant cousins, but of course these cousins immediately brought suit to break the will. The lawyers attacked the saint of Maggie Ross and called it an unnatural wife. The white relatives employed the finest talent, including a former governor of the state. For fifteen days the case was fought in court. Every possible legal advantage and technicality was used by the counsel trying to break the will. It was hard fought on both sides. The verdict of the jury, composed of white men, says that the will must stand, even though the beneficiaries are Negroes; that Maggie Ross had the right to leave her property to whom she pleased, regardless of color, and to those who had befriended her, regardless of race. And so Mittle Hall Houston Robert B. Ross and Florence Tucker Houston, all colored will take possession of the estate.

ARGUS REPRESENTATIVE DIGS UP MANY FACTS Jim Crow Car System Is As Found In The Rankest Of Southern States. Public Service Commission Of The State Should Act. Special Correspondent HAITI, Mo. May 4.—There are some conditions in this section which ought to be corrected. The system of working Negroes is in some instances, no doubt, borrowed from states farther south, in a number of cases never get a just settlement for their labor, and it will be remembered it was in Cape Girardeau County a number of years ago where a number of poonage cases were uncovered. It is believed that now there are some such cases in this section. Near here there is a farm known as Taylor farm, comprising something like 300 acres of land. If reports hereabouts are to be believed, and they come from good sources, on this particular farm, the work bell is rung at 4 a.m. and the wage paid for a day's work is $1.00, but the workers never get a settlement. At 11 a.m. the women are called from the field to work in the house, and at 1 p.m. they return to the fields to finish the day with their husbands. Women are not permitted to have chickens, etc., and the reason, presumably, is to force them to patronize the store; the foreman gives as his reason for not allowing the help to have chickens, cows, and the like, is that they will get mixed up with his Joining this farm is one owned by Dr. Farris and rented to a man by the name of W. H. Mulleniks. This white man is said to also contract for workers on the levee. These men are said to be secured from Arkansas, where they are gotten out of jail or had some trouble for the most part and given a promise of $2 a day for their labor. However, they never get a settlement. A colored man by the name of McKnight, whose wife and children are still near here, with the aid of his children, picked 22 bales of cotton. Mulleniks refused to make a satisfactory settlement. McKnight afterwards bought of him 3 small iron beds, 3 small cane bottom chairs, $1.50 rocking chair, 2 second-hand mattresses, 2 comforts. 1 quilt, 1 pine table and paid $133.60 for them; but Mulleniks refused to give him a receipt. He later asked McKnight to work on the levee, he refused, was driven from the place, and the "junk" for which he had paid $133.60 was confacted. It appears from reports that McKnight was feared to some extent by Mulleniks who regarded him as a smart "darkey" McKnight when last heard from was in Cape Girardeau. The Mayors of our municipalities are usually chosen to represent all the people. This is not true at Commerce Missouri. Mayor Anderson does not permit Negroes to board or alight from Iron Mountain trains in his domain ahead of white people. A story is told of him, that on one occasion, a colored woman boarded a train ahead of some white people. Mayor Anderson promptly pulled her off, and told her husband who was standing nearby that if he did not teach his wife some manners he would beat him.—Residents of the town stated to your correspondent, that if a Negro servant went home from work before his or her white employer wished, if the matter was only called to the attention of his lordship, Mayor Anderson, the recruit, servant would immediately be returned to his work to stay until given his liberty of action by his white employer. This state of affairs has become possible because the Negroes of this section, in many places have become cowed. It was from near here that a Von Mayes came and introduced his infamous "Jim-Crow" bill in the State Legislature not so long ago, to the utter disgust and shame of the other legislators. Other Jim Crow Landmarks In this town of Hayt, the Negroes are Jim-crowed in buying railroad tickets by the Frisco agent. They are not permitted to purchase tickets at the same window as whites and they have access to one small bench four feet long as a guiding room. At Concordville about the same condition of affair obtain for which the Frisco agent is to blame as anms and more than anyone else. The defense set up for this aggression in that the Negroes were around from the South started in Missouri there and proceeded to the North.

Dear Dorothy: In reply to your letter of recent date I have taken your advice and had my hair and scalp shampooed the NAOLA WAY". It is so cleansing and refreshing to both the hair and scalp. They claim hair trouble have generally been wrongly diagnosed and misunderstood. The hair itself is not the only thing to be cared for, for the reason that it is simply a product of the scalp and wholly dependent on its action. The scalp is the very foundation on which the hair is produced nurtured and grown and also should receive careful attention. When it comes to care, painstaking and attention that little lady has it all: Oh. I think she is so sweet. Yours sincerely, MARIE.

Continued From Page One ting the Colored waiting room, notwithstanding the sentiment of the State on these matters is strongly against segregation. It is likely the Public Service Commission under the Hyde's administration, will see to it that these long abuses will cease for all time. Can Neither Buy Nor Rent A peculiar condition exists in Sikeston, which is settled by a class of white people in fairly good circumstances. It is stated on authority which cannot be doubted, that Negroes can neither buy nor rent property and that only places available for them to live in the town is in quarters on premises back of the "white folks." At Diehlstaff and Bloedgett, Negroes are not permitted to stop. For a long time practices have exited on the Frisco going out of Cap-Girardeau, which the porters on these trains have within their power to do much to remedy, of putting up "Jim Crow" signs as soon as they leave Cape, preparatory to entering Arkansas, though they are at the time miles away in supposedly good free Missouri. It is difficult to believe that intelligent race-loving Negro men would subscribe to such a condition, but they not only do it, but abet it. On the Gulf road, coming into the Cape "Jim Crow" signs are frequently displayed, seen in the cars of the Frisco when they reach Cape when they should be down as soon as the cars strike the Missouri State line. However, the people have not lost faith and believe Governor Hyde will give every possible relief in such cases as are brought to his attention. He is a large man now and growing. WHITE WOMAN TO GET NEW TRIAL Continued From Page One it was apparent that, the verdict would be set aside. Public interest in the case, once at a fever point, has subsided, if the apathy surrounding yesterday's hearing is any guage. Not more than a score of people were in the courtroom when Judge Boyd made his decision. May is a merry month. I suppose your entitle yourself as a merry-maker if so, don't forget the Melrose Girls Double Header. May 30. CABD OF THANKS.

Sad and sudden was the call.. When you passed away from us all: We never thought that on that day, You would be called so far away. O, how lonely when I am thinking, Of the grave so far away: Where they buried our dear mother, Just two years ago today. Now my life is full of sadness And my eyes always with tears: To think of all the lonesomeness, Through all the coming years. It was our Saviour who called dear mother. We know his will shall be done: We will meet you some day mother, When he will call us one by one. The Lord knew best for he took you, To the land of rest: But words can't express O. how I wish I had you back home, Sadly missed by her two daughters and son-in-law. Martha Holt, Mary Johnson, Andrew Johnson. IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of our dear son and brother, Willie Gibson, who departed this life, May 5, 1908. When the evening shades are falling, And we are sitting all alone; To our hearts there comes a longing, If he only could come home, Sadly missed by his sister and mother, Mrs. Ada Gibson. IN MEMORIAM In memory of our dear sister, Clara Rabinson (see Dandridge) whose visible presence we have missed since May 7, 1912. In the heavenly land so fair, No bereavement we shall bear; There no sighings for the dead, There no farewell tear is shed; We shall safe from all alarm, Clasp our loved ones in our arms; And in Jesus' glory share, In the heavenly land so fair. Her sorrowing sisters. Mrs. Hattie Campbell and Pearl Dandridge. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear mother Lucy Evans, who died May 4, 1930. We have langued for you, dear mother, Through one long dreary year. Our hearts are filled with sorrow, Our eyes endimmed with tears. Oh how we miss you mother, How we wish that you were here.

The Lynching Inquiry The investigation into the Bowling Green lynching appears to be progressing earnestly. There is no question that members of the mob will be brought to justice if those whose duty it is to enforce the law in Pike County are sinner in their protestations. Sheriff Moore, from whom the prisoner was taken, undoubtedly knows the faces of several who participate in the hanging. His statements thus far have been evasive, but perhaps he is holding his information for the grand jury. Should it develop that he is unable to identify any of the mob. Gov. Hyde would be completely justified in having him removed—on the ground of defective vision if for no other reason. Missouri sheriffs ought to be able to see well, at any rate—St. Louis Star. Why The Mob Slew It was not impatience of slow working court machinery which caused the invoking of lynch law at Bowling Green. It was not fear that jury or judge would fail to punish the offender. Arrest of the perpetrator of an assault had occurred 24 hours after the commission of the crime, the trial took place the day after the assault was captured and he was sentenced and on his way to prison that night.

The Negro victim of violence was put to death to satisfy a lust for human blood—was hanged because enraged men desired to wreak vengeance themselves instead of permitting the law to carry out the punishment it had promptly ordered. That the penalty was mild was due to the generally wise provision of law which gives one who abandons a crime leniency if he abandons it before it is consummated. All declarations to the contrary, this is the spirit behind most mob deeds. Anger demands permission to hurt itself upon a miscreant—people are not willing that law shall punish outlawry, but prefer to meet violence with violence. No matter how quickly and adequately the courts may move, such orderly processes but add to the heat of the enraged multitude's hatred. Only spilling blood with its own hands will appose a mob. It should not be difficult to bring the Bowling Green lynchers to justice. They made no effort to hide their identity—another phase of most mob undertakings. The spirit which is eager for slaughter faunts its disregard of law in the face of the law-loving. Later, however, it can be depended upon to lose its bolliness and to seek refuge behind every manner of subterfuge and filming excuse in the effort to escape the punishment the law provides for such acts. Gore Hueb has moved with common dable swiftness to bring the Bowling Green mob members to justice. Local authorities, too, seem to be doing their utmost to make amends for the breakdown temporarily there of the power of justice. There must be full penalty exacted for the wrong done to the community and the State. St. Louis Times. Letters From The People INSUITED IN A THEATRE To the editor of The Argus. Dept. Sig. I think the time has come when the colored people of St. Louis should take some action against the treatment accorded them in the theatres of the city. Last evening my husband and party went to the Shubert to see Bert Williams' show. The ushers refused to seat us where our tickets called. I had purchased the tickets and insisted upon my rights. I went to the manager and told him that since they had sold me the tickets, I intended to sit where they indicated. He went to the usher and that insignificant hireling said that he was from the South and would not for $9.00 a week seat a "nigger" next to white people. Think of having to take an insult from anything. I held firmly to my stand and who boasted of a $9.00 per week salin in the end the usher was dismissed and a girl usher accompanied by an officer I suppose to protect her against the terrible Negroes, seated us. Think of the embarrassment which we had to endure to occupy a gallery seat. I think it time that we colored people, who patronize the theatres and stores, made some effort to secure treatment as human beings and refuse to be herded like cattle in any corner they themselves do not want.

The League is now engaged in raising $91,000 for the support of its national organization and local New York work. President Harding's letter follows: April 25, 1921. The National Urban League has, as I understand its work, been particularly useful in its contributions toward the solution of the problem of races in the United States, because it has sought to secure the cooperation of leading people of both races in attacking these problems. As was suggested in my recent message to Congress, I feel that this represents the only procedure by which we can hope for fullest and most desirable results. The race problem is one that concerns all of us and which we must all join in handling. I shall hope for, and be confident of, your hearty cooperation in every effort in this direction. Very sincerely yours. (Signed) WARREN G.

The information comes from London, England that King George was so delighted with the songs sung for him by Roland Hayes, the celebrated American Negro tenor, that he presented him with a diamond pin. The visit of Mr. Hayes to Buckingham Palace was an enchance on his first visit to London, when he created a sensation. His feature numbers "Go Down Moses," "Swing Low Sweet Charlet" and "Peter Go Ring Them Bells." It is said the voice and conduct of Mr. Hayes changed the King's idea of "characteristic Negro melodies." Mr. Hayes is equally talented in operatic roles.

ARMY Associated Negro Press' NEW YORK, May 4.—New York Massachusetts and Illinois are just now the storm centers of the "Negro Mudslide" of the National Guard perplexities of the national government. The Wilson administration planned a squeeze play which put the Negro contingents out of the military running. Now there are forces that are planning equally as hard to squeeze the Colored man and brother back into his former high estate as an efficient element and potential fighting factor in the honorable ranks of the country's army. The Federalized Militia controlled by the War Department has succeeded the old National Guard of purely state control. A definite number of units are allotted to each state. Colored men are of course not enrolled in white organizations and the mandate of the Wilson administration's War Department was inexorable. It decreed. "It is the policy of the War Department to organize a very limited number of Colored troops which would be used only as pioneers or labor battalions." Massachusetts offered the government the service of the Ninth Separate Battalion. Each of these bodies saw active service in France and each covered itself with glory fighting in the first trenches on many of the historic battle fields of the great conflict. The Eighth has been definitely made a part of the Illinois military quota and mustered into service under the federalized plan. The New York situation is clouded with doubt, a number of Colored officers having resigned recently. Public opinion has been an important factor in determining the status of these two celebrated fighting units in these states where the regiments have been permitted to retain their identity and are faculty recognized as a part of the military organization in their respective localities. But under the past policy of the War Department further 'opportunity for Colored men in other states to join fighting units is restricted. fighting in the nation. It happens that New York and Illinois were the only states that supported full fledged Negro military organizations prior to the great war. They were the famed 15th New York and the equally famous 8th Regt. of Illinois, which was the only regiment in the country officered by Colored men from Col. Otis B. Duncan and Lieut. Col. Patton. Massachusetts has been fighting mad over the situation. A heated correspondence was maintained between the War Department of the Wilson administration. Less heat but no less fervor characterizes the correspondence which is now being carried on by the national and state authorities. It is thought, however, that the present War Department will feel favorable to a rescuing of the original order in this respect and that Negroes will be made acceptable to all branches of the nation's military service.

HOR-TON-A Grew this Hair Long and Silky LEATHERS BLOCKS, FLANGES HAT MACHINERY CONSPIRACY OF RACE PREJUDICE IN WASHINGTON The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4.—"Sure I must fight, if I would win, increase my courage. Lord." is a couple of song and prayer that Colored Americans may well pin to the masthead of the Ship of Progress. "The Rebels are coming"—as a matter of fact, they have not left Washington, and thereby hang the tail. As stated by the Associated Negro Press in previous correspondences, the disposition of the Administration is to be fair and just. Only two months old, it has been quite impossible to get a firm grip. The Democrats are dying hard, and they are fighting. It has been maintained by many that if the Republicans would show just half the fighting spirit that the Democrats show in things they believe in, the millennium would soon come. Picture if you will, thousands and tens of thousands of employees from every section of the South, city and backwoods, sipping the nectar of governmental ease and greenbacks for eight years; then comprehend, if you will, their imate hatred of Negro progress and political preferment, and you will have a definite picture in sentiment of fairness, but the "higher ups" have not all been plucked as yet, and they are as busy as hornets, and have a sting just as poisonous! Take the Department of the Auditor for the Navy, a number of the white clerks having learned that there may be a possibility of a Colored American again being appointed to this position they too. Brute, have bestirred themselves in the form of a petition "requesting and urging that a Negro be not appointed." The first petition, with 165 names, almost ready to turn over to the "Powers that be," suddenly disappeared, but there are those who say it will rise up to face the accusers—or accursed—at the proper time. A second petition is being arranged. An Amazing Discovery An Amazing Discovery The Associated Negro Press, through a system of unquestioned reliability and backed up by sworn affidavits, has discovered a conspiracy of racial prejudice, that is truly alarming. The general public is asked to look into these matters carefully, and to weigh the charge cautiously. The conspiracy is not fostered by the Administration, nor any member of the cabinet, so far as can be ascertained, but the remnants of Democratic holdovers are doing their worst to embarrass the Administration, and to hold back favorable consideration of Colored American applications. The Associated Negro Press has written a communication, giving detailed instances of prejudices and discrimination, in one of the biggest departments of the government, and the letter has been sent to the cabinet member who is the head of that department. An acknowledgement has been received and it is known that the charges are being thoroughly investigated. It is known that the Southern Democratic chief clerk has been called on the carpet about the matter, and that he has sought to secure a clean bill of health from the Colored employees, and these upstanding Americans steadfastly refuse to give the Southern solace. More affidavits have been secured since the first letter was sent, and if there is a disposition to whitewash the charges more evidence will be produced. Regarding Appointments Regarding the subject of appointments, some have even dared to say that the administration is getting cold feet. But this cannot be verified. There are certain conditions obtaining, and if these are stated, the public may reach conclusions with as much assurance as the veriest politician or correspondent. The New York World, Democrat, in its Washington correspondence recently called attention the fact that up-to-date no Presidential appointment has been made. The appointments of Lieut. Flipper, by Secretary Fall, and of Phil H. Brown, by Secretary Davis, may be termed "personal" and do not require Senate confirmation. President Harding has adopted a policy of permitting the cabinet heads to name their assistants, in a very large measure. This relieves him of considerable detail and worry. The World states that Charles W. Anderson has the strongest backing for his old position of Collector of the Port of New York, and that Colored people throughout the United States have begun to wonder, in the matter of appointments, "Why the delay?" Southern Democratic propaganda is very pernicious, and very insistent. It works while you sleep. It has caused one cabinet member to state that his mind is not fully made up concerning the appointment of 9 Colored American to a big place in his department, which, too, would not be establishing a precedent. This man has always been known to be fair, the question is, is he weakening? Politics make strange bedfellows, now as always, Governor Dorset, Democrat of Georgia, who is about to retire, denounces lynching pessage and calls for remedies in language that reads like ramache of old: West Virginia, forming a 'pocker' between the North and the South, passes drastic lynch and civil rights laws, and Pennsylvania, keystone of the thirteenth original colonies and reimbred Republican, falls flat on Civil Rights in the hour of need. The charges that the contest became factual between the Penrose and Vare elements does not lighten the fall. The Cleveland Call is authority for the report that Governor Harry Davis of Ohio is going to fall in the matter of appointing Colored Americans to good positions, Later reports from Columbus, however, state that Governor Davis will make good.

Write letters to these men, and write letters to your Congressmen and Senators and tell them what is wanted in action. Lynching must stop in America. All organizations should send in signed petitions. The newspapers should take front rank in this greatest of all rights for right, and the people must back up the newspapers and editors." There is the message, word for word. What are the people going to do about it? SIDELIGHTS OF WASHINTON The Associated Negro Press The folks back home must not imagine that the faces of Colored Americans are not familiar in the Washington Federal department. They are everywhere apparent in all departments, from the White House down, and the Lower House up. Women are not as plentiful as men. The big complaints are these: Segregation, and failure to advance on merit. The Associated Negro Press, pursuing a system of careful investigation, has learned that there still exists certain investigation conditions, but there is every indication that they will be wiped out. The majority of the chief assistants in the various departments, and likewise the chief clerks, are still rock-ribbed Southern Democrats. They are raising a lot of hides right now, but The Brother is proving their match at every stage of the game. The Census Department, until recently, employed a very large number of Colored workers. There are many interesting stories connected with this work. Robert A. Pelham, of Detroit, Mich.; Charles E. Ball, of Batavia, Il., have been among the chiefs in the division. Their work stands up in a manner that makes everyone proud. CLEARANCE substantial and serious-thinking reader is peculiar in its field.

De Leon avenue, had attended a business conference in his office uptown, returning home about 10:30 o'clock. He drove his automobiles into the garage at the back of his home, and was returning to the house when he was suddenly confronted by a man who thrust a gun in his face and told him to throw up his hands. The police were immediately notified and Patrolmen Davis and Evans went to the scene of the robbery, where after investigation, they reported themselves unable to pick up any clues, but thought Negroes held up Lane. The Associated Negro Press NEW ORLEANS, La., April 27... While the unfavorable labor situation in Great Britain must be put down as the main feature of last week in the cotton market, it did no more than hold the market down from making wide advances. Grudging recessions were made on the unfavorable development, while, on the other hand, quick advances were the rule following favorable news, and the close was well up toward the -top as the result of the breakdown of the general strike movement. Last prices showed net advances of 33 to 59 points. At the highest the active months were 49 to 63 points, over the close of the preceding week, and at the lowest they were one point lower to five points higher. May traded up to 12 cents and down to 11.40 cents, a closing at 11.49 cents. The extreme range of prices was 46 to 60 points. In the spot department middling closed at 11.38 cents, showing a net gain of 38 points. A year ago middling closed for the week at 41.75 cents a pound, and May closed at 41.49 cents. General trade news and reports from mill centers were mixed in their import but anything unfavorable from port but anything unfavorable from domestic sources was offset by cablegrams from Manchester telling of a much better inquiry of cloth, principally for shipment to oriental markets, and some traders thought the fairly strong close was due to the belief that with a better labor situation Manchester would be in a position to till some of the business. The better export demand for heavy cloth in the markets of the United States caused much favorable comment. New crop news was unfavorable on the whole, temperatures being too low at times and too much vain falling over the greater part of the belt, although the official review from the government claimed that reports from Texas were that the soil was too wet for planting, and this also seemed to be the case in the northern halves of the central and eastern divisions of the contour region. This week, the trade will chiefly concern, at the start at any rate, with the British labor outlook, and in any signs of settling the coal miners' strike probably would have a higher stimulating effect on values. On the other hand, any further consultations in this direction would be bound to have an unsettling influence.

Drake Loses Pitchers Battle KANSAS CITY, Mo. May 2.—The Colored National League baseball season opened here Saturday with a game, played in the rain between the St. Louis Giants and the Kansas City Monarchs. The contest was preceded by a parade headed by Colored police and Hon. Nelson Crews. It rained throughout the game, which was not called until 3:45 on account of the downjourn. Finner pitched a wonderful game, and his teammates with behind him 4 to 2. The Giants utilized their six hits to better advantage than did the Monarchs. Singles by Brooks and Bennett in the ninth, combined with Blattner's error, gave the violators two runs and the victorious margin. Blackwell's homer with Charleston abuse in the first produced the other foreign markers. Aside from the first and the ninth, Currie was an enigma to the Giants. He set them down in order in the second, third, fourth and eighth without out the semblance of a hit. Finner was also in the form, retiring the Monarchs in order in the first, second, fourth and fifth. Triples by Hay and Cary and Portlanda's single accounted for the home tallies. The Mendelzans filled the bases in the ninth, but Pinch hitter King was unequal to the occasion. The rain kept the attendance down to 2000. The score: St. Louis Giants. AR. H. O. A. E.

SUNDAY GAME IN RAIN The Monarchs ended the series by winning the second game. Sunday, 3 10 1. It drizzled rain throughout the game. The game was a pitcher's battle between Bognan and Drake, each having only one bad liming. Drake had his trouble in the first, when the Monarchs scored their three runs. Portsmouth got a life on an error and Carr followed with a single. Donaldson then doubled the two runners home and completed the circuit himself when Mekai singled. Drake then put on the brakes and blinked the house club in the remaining limings, but his mate were unable to hit Bognan. Bogan might have scored a shutout but for an error by Ray, the catcher wild-throw putting a runner on third from where he scored on a single. The play came in the fifth inning, when Brooks singled with one gone. He stole around a moment later and continued on his way to third when Ray made a wild brave to second. McAdams's single sent him home. The visitors threw again in the following stunts when Bogan lost control and walked three thumps but bumblebown caught a high fly for the final out.
