Wire Sent Governor Pinchot Calling His Attention to Mayor's Order INVESTIGATOR ON SCENE Telegram Tells Mayor His Duty Is to Seek Out and Punish Guilty Ones New York, Sept. 18.—Announcement was made today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People of prompt action that had been taken to protect the lives, property and civil rights of colored residents of Johnstown, Penn, who are beng driven from the city following an order issued a week ago by Mayor Joseph Cauffiel because of the killing of two policemen, the crimes alleged to have been committed by colored men. The Advancement Association has rushed a special investigator to Johnstown and has wired Governor Mifford M. Pinchot and Mayor Cauffiel characterizing the action taken by the latter as gross exceeding of authority vested in him, pointing out that the only duty incumbent upon him was the apprehension and punishment of the guilty. The telegram to Governor Pinchot The telegram to Governor Pinchot read in part: "Today's New York newspapers report that because of the killing of two policemen and the wounding of four others crimes alleged to have been committed by colored people of Johnstown, Pa., more than two thousand colored people have left Johnstown because of order issued by Mayor Joseph Cauffiel that only Negroes residet in city for seven years would be allowed remain. It is so obvious as to make it a superfluous statement that the only action which should have been taken by the mayor and other authorities of Johnstown would have been to seek out and punish those guilty. This Association respectfully requests you to use all authority vested in your high office to correct this grievous injustice if the facts stated above are found to be true. "JAMES WELDON JOHNSON." The telegram to Mayor Cauffiel read in part: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People protests against the high-handed injustice in such wholesale deportation it appears to us that you have totally exceeded authority vested in you. It is the duty of the mayor and the other authorities of Johnstown to seek out and punish the guilty instead of punishing men whose only offense is that their skins are black. "JAMES WELDON JOHNSON." Mayor Disregards Limit of Authority Johnstown, *Pa.*, Sept. 14.—More than 2,000 colored people have left Johnstown since Mayor Joseph Cauffel declared a week ago that only colored people resident of the city for seven years would be allowed to remain, said the mayor today. Johnstown, Pa., Sept. 15.—"I don't care what authority I have. For their own safety and for the safety of the Johnstown public, the colored people are gong out of this city. Most of them are out now and the rest of them are going fast." Mayor Joseph Cauffel made that announcement today when he was asked to answer protests of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other organizations which attacked his right to order all colored people out of Johnstown except those who have lived here more than seven years. The mayor pulled open a drawer of his desk and displayed a scattered array of telegrams. "See these," he said. "They are protests from all over the country, calling me a second 'Czar of Russia,' a 'Kaiser' and every other thing. They tell me I'm going to get into trouble. "I don't care what they say." Pinchot Asks Mayor For Explanation New York, Sept. 18—Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania today sent a telegram to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People here announcing that "the whole power of this commonwealth will be used, if necessary, to maintain constitutional rights," at Johnstown, Pa., where wholesale deportation of Negroes is alleged to have been ordered by May. Joseph Caufield. The governor's telegram also said he had wired Mayor or Caufield, "asking him for a full statement of facts and reasons for action taken." Charles E. James, Pioneer In St. Paul, Is Claimed By Death Charles E. James Dies At Home Charles E. James "BLACK HORROR" ON RHINE DECLARED MYTH Troops Well-Behaved, No Attacks on Women Reported, Correspondent Finds Coblenz, Sept. 2.—The "black horror" of the Rhine is a lot different from what many Americans have been led to believe. The French sent Senegalese and Moroccans, as well as white troops, into the Coblenz district when the Amarocs left for home in January, and the German police don't know of a single serious case of an attack on women by Senegalese or Moroccan troops in that time. The Senegalese, but particularly the Moroccans, undoubtedly have annoyed women in the streets and public roads occasionally, and in the whole Rhineland there possibly have been some attacks on women, but in this important district there have been no serious attacks. On the other hand, one can see lower class German girls walking into the country with Senegalese soldiers almost any afternoon. Many lower class German girls openly admire and flirt with the black soldiers. NEW YORKERS GIVE $1000 TO JAP FUND New York, Sept. 19.—(K. N. F. Service.) The Japanese Earthquake fund has been swelled by about $1,000 from churches, organizations and individuals, of the colored race in the last few days. ROMANCE OF WORDS "JEWELRY" LIKE "confectionery", "pastry" and "crockery", the word "jewelry" has come to mean something quite different than it originally did—to be understood as the thing itself, the jewels, rather than the place where these are kept. Properly speaking, jewels are "jewelry" no more than beggars are "beggary" or slaves, are "slavery". But the word was perverted by careless speakers who were unmindful of the fact that jewels were kept in a "jewelry", just as confections were kept in a "confectionery", paste in a "pastry" and crocks, made by a crocker, in a "crockery". The proper use of the word—apart from the license permitted by custom—is well illustrated by Howell, who tells us in one of his letters that Felton, the murderer of the duke of Buckingham, in his attempt to escape, "was so amaz'd that he miss'd his way and so struck into the 'pastry' where he was captured." Reading this today one is immediately struck by a picture of the assassin being caught in a huge ple or possibly stopped by the impact of one of those custards to which a certain "movie" comedian is so partial. But "pastry", so used originally, meant the place where the paste or desserts were made—not the pies and cakes themselves. The change in meaning is doubtless due to the fact that merchants placed signs over their stores announcing that theirs was a "jewelry", and the public gradually commenced to apply the term to the jewels themselves. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 22, 1923 Deceased Was Born Here in 1866; Prominent in Labor Circles as Executive of Shoe Workers Union; Funeral Held Monday. Charles E. James, pioneer citizen of St. Paul, died at his home, 632 W. Central avenue, Thursday, Sept. 13. Mr. James was 57 years old having been born in St. Paul, July 17, 1866. He had been ill three months. Mr. James was prominent in labor circles as a member of the executive board of the boot and shoe workers union. At one time he was president of the St. Paul Trades and Labor Assembly and a member of the charter commission of the city of St. Paul. He was a charter member of St. Philip's Episcopal church and also a member of the Sterling club. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Cei' James, a daughter, Loucelia, two brothers and a sister, George W. and E. O. James and Mrs. Addie Howard, in St. Paul; and two sisters, Mrs. Robert Taylor and Miss Gertrude James, of Chicago. The funeral was held Monday Sept. 17 from the residence, with Father A. H. Lealtad, officiating. The pall bearers were Dr. J. H. Redd S. E. Hall, W. T. Francis, O. D. Howard, and W. A. Hilyard. Interment was at Forest cemetery under the direction of Mrs. Lyles. Refused Ice; Form Colored Company Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 18. "You can't keep a good man down," nor a good race. That strikes and keynote that has been responsible for the success of the Peoples' Ice & Fuel Co., in this city. It is the outgrowth of white prejudice and unfair business methods on the part of whites. The whites have been doing all the manufacturing and recently refused service to colored retailers. Leaders suggested that colored people make their own ice. The idea sounded good. Backing was received from D. H. Raines, an oil millionaire, colored, with holdings in Louisiana and residence in Hot Springs. Raines became president of the company to manufacture ice, and Caver, secretary. The result is their present modern plant, capable of turning out thirty tons of ice each day, located in the manufacturing district of the city, with their own spur to the railroad. They now have a demand in excess of their supply. All the stock of the Peoples' Ice & Fuel Co., is paid in and earning dividends.

"Jes' Aigs" Proves To Be Basket Loaded With Good Whiskey and Gin New Orleans, La, Sept. 15. —At three o'clock Wednesday morning, Officer Haney espied a colored man slipping around a corner at Iberville and Villere streets. "Waddye got in the basket?" asks Patrolman Haney. "Aigs, boss, jes' aigs," replied the party addressed. Haney removed the cover from the basket, revealing five quarts of Canadian club, one quart of gin, and one quart of Johnny Walker. The man said his name was James Clark and that he just get off a boat from some place. He couldn't remember the name of the boat or where it came from. He's in jail now. THIRD PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS NEXTMONTH Meetings to be Held in England and Lisbon; DuBois is Executive Chairman The third Pan-African Congress will meet in London, England and Lisbon, Portugal, next November.

CARVER PRODUCTS FORMED White Capitalists of Atlanta Back Company to Manufacture Products CAPITAL OF $125,000 Foods, Dyes, Stains and Paints Formula to be Bought and Sold Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17—George Washington Carver, F. R. S., colored "wizard" of Tuskegee, Ala., whose researches and achievement sin plant chemistry have won him recognition throughout the scientific world is to have a company to manufacture and market some of the products he has discovered and developed. This company, to be known as the Carver Products company, has just been incorporated here with $125,000 capital. The company will be for the purpose of "buying, selling and dealing in formulae and patended processes for the development of various and sundry products, such as food, dyes, stains, paints and the like from the sweet potato, the peanut, the pecan, the okra, the dandelion, the black oak, the sweet gum, the willow and the swamp mange."

Allen, vice president and general manager of the L. W. Rogers chain of grocery stores, who will be vice-president; Ernest W. Thompson, formerly of Tuskegee, and large land owner and planter there, who will be secretary and treasurer, and former Governor Dorsey of Georgia. Thomas A. Edison once offered Carver a large salary to enter his laboratories, but he preferred to remain at Tuskegee. Uncle Issac, 85 Takes Fourth Wife Kinston, Sept. 18—"Uncle" Isaac Mathews, 85, made arrangements for his fourth wedding last week. The first of them happened away back about the time when the "white folks" marched behind starry-barry flags in uniforms of gray, and fives and drums extemporized the processional and recessional for the bridal entourage. "Uncle" Isaac was asked for his "examination certificate." He had never heard of such a requirement. Once, he said, he underwent an examination by doctor men, but that was some time between 1861 and 1865. He trotted off to get the certificate and returned for the license, a gay old man satisfied of many years of life before him.

The Finest---For You Quality Merchandise from the leading downtown merchants and neighborhood tradesmen may be obtained quickly and easily if you Shop In The Appeal Giant, 6 Ft. 6 In., Fights Off 40 Policemen, But Flees From 5-Foot Wife Chicago, Sept. 17.—In marriage, at least Marquis of Queensberry rules do not apply. Size, age, manner of hitting have nothing to do with who gains the ascendency in the marital arena. There's Morrow Harding. Morrow is a Negro. He weighs 275. He's 6 feet 6 inches tall. A week ago he fought off forty policemen. Morrow's wife, Mrs. Blossom, is 5 feet 5 inches tall. She weighs 140. She looks like a pigmy beside Morrow. But just what kind of a punch she carries is still a mystery. She was in the rear of the Englewood court Monday when they led Morrow to the bench. Morrow cast one look at the women. He let out a yell, "Lordly, save me, jedge!" He tried to bolt the court-room. It took four policemen to handle the giant Negro as they led him away for a mental examination. But Blossom just sneered, shrugged her shoulders and walked out. GARVEY GOES FREE ON BAIL OF $15,000 Original Bail of $25,000 Reduced by Judge; Garvey Makes Public Appearance New York, Sept. 15.—Marcus Garvey gave cash bail of $15,000 and was released from the Tombs Monday after nearly three months in prison. He was convicted in Federal District Court of using the mails to defraud investors in the Black Star Steamship Line of which he was president. The bail was allowed pending his appeal. Few of Garvey's followers seemed to know he was to be released and he was accompanied only by his lawyer when he walked to the street. The prisoner's bail was fixed at $25,000 last week by Federal Judge Mack, who cabled from Palestine, but Judge Manton reduced it to $15,000. APPEARS AT LIBERTY HALL FOR SPEECH New York, Sept. 20.—(K. N. F. Service.) Marcus Garvey, president of the Universal Negro Improvement association, made a dramatic appearance at Liberty Hall, Wednesday evening, following his release from the Tombs Prison in $15,000 bail. It was his first appearance since his release. "Whatever happens," he told his listeners, "the world may know that jail or penitentiary has no norters for me. I was convicted not because anyone was defrauded in the temporary failure of the Black Star Line, brought about by others, but because I talked about Africa and about its redemption for Negroes. I was convicted because jealous members of my race misrepresented me to those in authority for the purpose of discrediting me and destroying me." There were nearly 6,000 of his followers in the hall. Urban League Opens Office For Work Monday, September 17, the St. Paul Urban league hung the sign, "Open for Business" outside its office at 308 McClure building, 61 E Sixth street.

The return of John Calhoun, the disburring ojcer, who defied the Klan, was the first indentation in the solid white officer, who defied the Klan, was have witnessed additional changes with a rapidity which has thrown consternation into the ranks of three hundred white employees who see the black specter of a colored personnel riding hard upon them with the consequent relinquishing of their jobs for it is said that self-respecting white clerks and supers cannot tolerate working next to or under black men. This week witnessed the arrival of several colored rehabilitation officers, Messrs. P. H. Rooney and Walter S. Burke, who had been employed in the office headed by Dr. Crossland in the Veterans' bureau at Washington. Dr. Crossland is said to be hanging by the proverbial thread and his office has been depopulated. Next came the appointment of a black chief guard. Some thirty armed guards with rifles and ammunition have been stationed about the grounds, a rather formidable array of force calculated to impress the casual observer with the majesty of the government. These guards were of little avail when the Klan marched. They lowered rifles, it is said, saluted them as brothers and let the hooded parade pass on. But a black chief guard brought the resignations of all the white guardians of cracker persuasion instanter. The result is that black guardians of the peace are now parading with guns swung smartly across their shoulders and halting every suspicious looking visitor. Something to Think About By F. A. WALKER DISCONTENT THERE are those who are continually complaining about some mysterious power which is holding them back. They begin to grumble at the breakfast table and keep airing their discontent until night, when their mood changes and they don their best clothes and hurry away for their customary frolic. These are the individuals who pile upon the backs of humanity its heaviest burdens of unhappiness. They are always out of step, lagging behind, contentious, gruff-voiced and ill-humored. They would like to sit in the high places, give orders, read the law of deportment to subordinates, but they lack the spirit to make themselves capable, so they keep scuffling along their gloomy way and acquiring bearish dispositions. It involves too much work, too many deprivations of things which they consider essential to their body-comfort, so they loiter along through the best years of their life, envious, unruly and wretched. When the awakening comes, as it eventually does, they find themselves so enslaved to pernicious habits that they are powerless to break away. Their customary diversions have lost their lure. Old associates with whom they idled their precious years have disappeared. There is nothing ahead but blankness and emptiness. Study and books are a bore. Anything that calls for thought or fixed attention of the mind cannot be endured. They never meditate, never reach out for the great, glorious ideals which have been hovering around them all their life, begging recognition and acceptance. If you would not be among these hapless souls when the shadows begin to lengthen, seek while you are yet in the flower of youth to improve yourself. Make the start today. You cannot hope to achieve and attain except by hard work, long solitary hours of study and constructive reflections. At the top there is boundless room for the faithful. The air is large and free and inspiring. The world is calling for creative thinkers, offering them her richest treasures and highest honors. Heed the call while youth flushes your cheek. Press forward, keep going and help yourself. (@, 1923, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) J. Q. Adams .....Editor-in-Chief Roy Wilkins .....Managing Editor Odell D.

WHAT YOU GET BACK Every man who gives to a cause or invests in an enterprise wants to know what he is going to get in return for his money. The annual campaign for the Community Chest of St. Paul is approaching, and quite naturally colored people as well as white are asking what they are to get in return for the money they subscribe to the Chest. We will let the dailies and the members of the Chest organization explain in general what the whole city will receive in dividends, but we want to point out specifically what the colored contributor will get back. In the Chest there three colored organizations who have been allotted the following budgets; Urban league, $4,881; Y. W. C. A. center, $2,705; and Crispus Attucks home, $1,500—a total of $9,086. This much of the $700,000 asked by the Chest goes Directly to colored organizations, officered by colored staffs. All of them are deserving well-managed institutions. Besides this direct contribution from the Chest to colored organizations working among and for colored people, there is the work done by white organizations n the Chest. The Salvation Army Rescue Home is now caring for 16 unfortunate colored girls. The Gospel Mission Home has cared for 21 discouraged and disconsolate colored girls during the past year. Forty colored families are at present being cared for by the United Charities, which has furnished food, fuel and sometimes shelter for these families. The Baby Welfare Association gave care to 33 colored families, and food and medical attention to over 55 colored babies. That is what you get back from the Community Chest. Nine thousand dollars goes directly to colored organizations and other thousands, allotted to white organizations, is spent in saving and aiding colored babies, colored girls, and colored families. When some tongue-wag tells you that you "don't get nothing" out of the Chest, remember these facts. When some sleep, well-fed, member of colored "society" tells you that there are no charity cases among colored people, remember these facts. The Colored Church By William H. Gaston. In our review it has been our endeavor to establish the fact that the church is a human institution; that its ties carry no armoured effect against the corrupt consequences of immoral environment; no guarantee against wrong. The genuiflections indulged in by its adherents does not promote higher moral standards; its teachings, its practices and preachings fail to promote the brotherhood of man. The professed christian is no immaculate example. In fact the very record of the church is stained with perfidy. We must not destroy the church as an organization. But there must be a renovation; not a return to its former stage, but a complete change that will make for practical example, that truly means the destruction of moral turpitude. who so viverously proclaim their christianity, so absolutely devoid of justice and humanity. The statement that viciousness and immorality is constrained through the influence of the church is absolutely absurd. Often those who are the most prominent in the affairs of the church, when unmasked are found to be some of the very lowest objects of digeneracy. Numerous cases are on record where christianity has been used as the means of promoting immorality dishopesty and crime. The church has been used for the purpose of fleecing the lams. And why should it be otherwise? The doctrine of the church is not to prevent crime but forgive it. "Today I offer you the pardon of the gospel—full pardon, free pardon. I do not care what your crime has been. Though you say you have committed a crime against God, against your own soul, against your fellow-man, against your family, against the day of judgment, against the cross of Christ—whatever your crime has been, here is pardon, full pardon, and the very, moment you take that pardon your heavenly Father throws his arms about you and says: 'My son, I forgive you. It is all right. You are as much in my favor now as if you never had sinned.'" These are words from one of America's most eminent divines, viz. Dr. Talmage. Would such doctrines be calculated to constrain acts of viciousness, lawlessness, crime? Since this hope, this pardon is extended to the most vile and vicious, even through as black and steeped in crime as an Egyptian night; yet this pardon that makes clearer than a crystal that makes whiter than snow. If such be true what is the need of being good? The shady handling of church finance by some of the pillars of the church is condoned through this doctrine of pardon. Is it possible to sow the seed of crime and gather the fruits of happiness? If we can fill the garden of our lives with stone thorns and thistles and gather wheat and grapes and figs, the labor of planting and cultivating is wasted. Why not spend our lives sowing wild oats? We wish to destroy this doctrine of pardon, for it is infamous. Every act of cruelty must have its effect; so every act of dishonesty, every crime against humanity, every violation of the laws of nature. In fact every cause must have its effect; and every effect must have its cause. A husband and father is on his way home from work with his week's salary; behind him creeps an assin—he is slain and robbed. Waiting for him at home is a wife surrounded by six children. The murderer is captured tried and condemned to die. He has many weeks to repent, receive this holy pardon, which he accepts. On the day of execution solemnly exhorts his hearers to meet him in heaven, and bids them goodbye with a smile upon his lips. Through years the widow and six little orphans suffer every privation. Such doctrine as this is not calculated to make men good. That a woman can live a wayward and dissolute life, and the end be as pure as snow; is a doctrine too monstrous to be accepted. This doctrine will not constrain the actions of profligate husbands and wanton wives. This doctrine does not restrain wayward sons and reckless daughters. It is not the doctrine to instill purity. Let us make for those things that truly promote happiness. Our efforts should be to instill honesty and propriety. We will again observe a few facts connected with that book of books from whence came this doctrine of forgiveness. A few facts not generally known. The Bible was not printed in the principal Languages of Europe until the fifteenth century. There were several kinds of these Bibles—Luther's, The Dort, King James, Genevan, French, Danish and Swedish. "Most of these Bibles differed from each other, and gave rise to infinite desputes and crimes without number." The first Bible was printed in England in 1538. The first English Bible was printed and divided into verses in 1860. "The Bible was revised under Henry VIII again under Queen Elizabeth, and once again under King James. King James version was published in 1611 and is the one now in general use." The manuscripts of the Old Testament were not alike, and the Greek version differed from the Hebrew, and there was no absolutely received text of the Old Testament until after the commencement of the Christian era. Marks and points to denote vowels were invented probably about the seventh century after Christ. Whether these vowels were put in the proper places or not is still an open question." The early Christian Churches adopted the Alerandian version of the Old Testament known as the Septuagint. This version of the Bible was used by Jews about two hundred years before Christ. So many errors were found in this translation that several new versions appeared. These new versions differed somewhat from the Hebrew manuscripts, from the Septuagint, and from each other. There are several books that treat the Bible, including K. Z. K. Iddo, Jasher, Jehun, Nathan, and Saving of the Seers. Book of Enoch, Book of Samuel, Book of Gad and others. These books are cited by writers of the Bible. Leaving the Old Testament and coming to New, many authorities on the Bible claim that the third century was the first to use the term New Testament. There is no certainty as to the authority of the four Gospels. It has been demonstrated that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are not the authors of the Gospels, fearing their names. There are things ferred to in the book of Matthew that happened several years after the book of Matthew was supposed to have been written. The birth of Christ was unfixed until about three hundred years after the beginning of the Christian era. In fact it was not fixed as the 25th of December until about the fourth century, and this by the Roman Church. The birth, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension are today questions which cannot be deferred. We know that Jesus' Gospel. But we do know that the doctrine of forgiveness of sin is a premium on crime. The permissible doctrine of race superiority, the contempt of race prejudice, and the injustice of religious intolerance, all find their justifications in the Bible. White God, White Angels, White Virgin-mother, White Apostles. And to them I may add in modern times we have White, Presi-den, and Angels, judges, progressmen, Legislators, and Ku Klu Klans, and black followers and worshippers. The doctrine of White Supremacy with all of its injustices, inconsistencies and cruelties has its foundation in teachings from the Bible. "It is not meet to take the children's bread and milk XV, 26.) The white doctor and dentist who refuse to administer to the suffering of colored humanity possess the contemptible attitude as the kind and loving Jesus bore to the suppliant. In reference to the intolerance inspired through Bible teaching, we ask (Jensburg) the Bible, "What ghastly fruits these teachings have produced! We see the earth covered with yellow bones of murdered heretics and schlerms; we see the persecutions and butcheries of Constantine, of Theodosius, of Clovis, of Justinian, and of Charlemagne; we see the Crusades. in the early centuries of persecution, we see the followers of Godfrey Jerusalem—the indiscriminate massacre of men, women, and children—see the mosques pilid seven deep with murdered Saracens—the Jews burnt in their synagogues; we see Coeur de Lon slaughter in cold blood thousands of captive Saracens; we witness Inouisition with its lumbering, ravishing, murdering; we see the Moors expelled from Ireland; we see the murder of the Hugenots and Waldens—the slaughter of German neasants—the desolation of Ireland—Holland covered with blood; we witness Smithfield and Bartholomew; we witness Inouisition with its instillation of cruel cruelty; we see the Auto-da-fe, where heretics, clad in mockery, are led to forture and to death; we see them stretched upon the rack, disjointed, and torn limb from limb; we see them flaved alive—their bleeding bodies seared with red-hot irons; we see them covered with pitch and oil; we see their manuelled headlong from towers to the stony streets below; we see them stbury alive; we see them hanged and quartered; we see their eyes bored out with heated anger—their tongues torn out—their bones broken with hammer—their bodies pierced with a thousand needles; we see aged women—see their manuelled and bleeding bodies dragged with lightning speed over the frozen earth; we see newborn babies flung into the flames to perish with their mothers, or with their mothers sewed in sacks and sunk into the sea: in short on every hand, as a result of this book's teachings, we see their lamenture, death. Let us have, every day, for our brother, the world for church and country, to do good for our religion, and happiness for our goal.
