ONE MORE September is here, and one more summer is nearly gone. Those afflicted with hay fever are not lamenting the change. VOL.1, NO.44 COLUMBUS BOY MISSES DEATH AS STAY GIVEN Electrocution Halts as Writ From Governor Comes Allowing Two More Weeks. Elks Work For Youth Warden Refuses to Recognize Writ; Judge Silbert Lends All Help Possible. Columbus, O., Sept. 3.—The fight to have the life of Emmanuel Ross, 18, who escaped the electric chair by inches last Friday night, went back to Cuyahoga county Saturday with the filing of a writ to set aside the conviction. A complete rehearing of Ross' case has been asked by Alexander H. Martin and Mrs. Louise Pridgeon, his attorneys, who declare he was robbed of his constitutional rights by never being brought before juvenile court. Stay Granted A two-weeks stay of execution was granted late Friday by Gov. Donahey after Common Pleas Judge Samuel H. Silbert issued a writ of habeas corpus which he himself admitted meant little. Formal notice of the stay was served at the penitentiary a few minutes before 9 P. M., when the electrocution was to have taken place. Gov.' A. V. Donahey and the state clementey board refused to commute Ross' sentencee Wednesday, despite petitions from the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Elks Aid Early Friday, Martin and Mrs. Pridgeon got busy, aided by delegates from the colored Elks, in convention here. They sought to save Ross by a habeas corpus writ, but could not find Judge McMahon or of the appellate judges and lacked time to go to the state supreme court. Judge Silbert was appealed to. He did not know what power he had over the penitentiary warden, but issued a temporary writ in the hope it might have some effect. Writ Overlooked Notice was sent to Warden Thomas by wire. He refused to recognize the writ. Mrs. Pridgeon and a delegation of the colored Elks, headed by Assistant United States Attorney General Perry W. Howard, started to Columbus to see Donahey but missed their train. Judge Silbert called James Huffman, Donahey's secretary. Huffman said Donahey was at Indian Lake O., but he might be able to get a reprieve for Ross if Silbert would wire a recommendation. This Silbert did, and Huffman finally reached Donahey, who gave Ross until (Continued on page 2) RACE INTEGRITY LAW GETS TEST Virginia Woman, Husband Arrested for Alleged Violation of Measure. Harrisonburg, Va.—The new racial-integrity law which forbids the marriage of any person said to have a trace of colored blood in their veins to a white person, which was passed in this state after much controversy over the likelihood of it affecting many of the so-called leading whites of Virginia, came up for its first test here last week. Mrs. Mary Grove Dove and her husband, William Dove, were arrested for violation of the racial-integrity law on the complaint of Grove's brother, Charles. The brother charged that Mrs. Dove was colored and that William had gone to Maryland to marry her after license were refused in Virginia. After a hearing of the case before a Rockingham county Grand Jury, William was lodged in jail and his wife released on a $500 bond. Charles was known to have had some trouble with his brother over the property which he is now occupying with his wife. The St. Paul Echo Minn Historical Society Minn Historical Bldg St Paul Minn Local Girl Returns From Europe After Brilliant Stage Success Virginia White Press Denounces Brutal Wythe County Lynching Current Messenger Has Article by St. Paulite Frank Boyd, 443 Mackubin street, writes an article in the September issue of The Messenger magazine on "Previous Struggles to Organize." Mr. Boyd, who has been personally connected with every attempt made to date to organize the Pullman porters, gives out of his own experience some of the early efforts of the men to form an organization to demand a living wage. Among other interesting commentaries, Mr. Boyd said, "When I entered the Pullman service as a porter, March 15, 1907 . . . our pay was $25 perhaps . . . ." In an early issue of the magazine, Mr. Boyd will have another article dealing with the same subject.

(Preston News Service) Washington, Sept. 3.—Recommendation that the Interstate Commerce Commission dismiss the complaint of J. P. Hayden, lawyer of Chicago, who sought $25,000 damages against the Pullman Company for alleged failure to furnish him Pullman accommodations, was made Friday by Burton Fuller, commission examiner. Hayden said he purchased a ticket for Chicago at Atlanta two years ago, but when he asked for a Pullman ticket was ordered away from the window. The agent denied he had ever refused Pullman accommodations to a Negro, and the examiner held that Hayden's allegation was not sustained. He added that the Pullman Company's practices in this respect "generally are not shown to be unjustly discriminatory." OFFICERS OF AMES LODGE HOLDING GRAND MARCH There will be no labor upon your part to attend the grand celebration of the Labor Day dance given by the officers of Ames Lodge No. 106, Minneapolis Elks, at Elks' Hall, Sixth and Lyndale, Monday evening, September 6.

At twelve o'clock, midnight, there will be a grand march for the purpose of reviewing the returned delegates from the 27th annual convention held at Cleveland, Ohio, August 22 to 28. Joe Levy and Ed. Boyd were delegates to the convention. Disgrace, Outrage, Key to Attitude of State Toward Burning Torture Meted to Victim by Mob. (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) Although there is little prospect of anything but a superficial investigation of the recent lynching in Wythe County, Virginia, in which the mob stormed the jail and brutally murdered an imprisoned man, newspapers of the state have been emphatic in their denunciation of the outrage. The N. A. A. C. P. has received clippings from a number of the leading newspapers in which strong statements are made. The Richmond News Leader in an editorial headed "A Dark Disgrace to Virginia," declared: "A drunken mob of savages on a South Sea Island could not have been more brutal. Russian 'reds' in the maddest frenzy of their irreligious revolution would have hesitated at such cruelty. Done in the name of 'white supremacy,' this crime dis- (Continued on page 3) ST.

In October, 1924, Miss Wheeldin left St. Paul for New York City, where she had been offered a position.

In Paris, where the "Tea for Two Girls" had a contract for six months at the newly opened and justly famous Moulin Rouge, Miss Wheeldin was asked by the manager of the company to accept a dancing part which she consented to do. There were at that time nine girls and one man in the company. "Just to keep busy," said Miss Wheeldin with a smile, "I not only danced, but continued to handle the heavy secretarial work as well.

FLORIDA INQUIRY INTO FLOGGINGS REMAINS SECRET Year and Half Sees More Than 50 Whippings Administered by Masked Mobs. Believe 2 More Dead White Calls Whippers "Hooded Cowards" in Address to Local Kiwians. Palatka, Fla., Sept. 3.—The inquiry into numerous whippings of white and black residents of this section was recessed Wednesday until next Tuesday, State's Attorney J. C. Adkins announced. The thirteenth witness examined in secrecy by Adkins was A. B. Baker, writer for the Palatka Daily News. It was believed Baker was asked to testify regarding the recent arraignment of Minnie "Teetsei" Pinckey, flogged colored woman. Two Others Killed. The woman's son and another man were killed when they were bringing her home after she had been shipped by a band of masked white men. More than 50 persons have been flogged by masked mobs in Putnam county in the last 18 months, according to evidence brought out in his investigation. Colonel Adkins declared in an address before the local Kiwanis club: Tactics Scored "When I hear white and Negro residents testify how they are being whipped, I wonder if I am in America," Adkins stated during his strong denunciation of the "hooded cowards." "I wonder if we have come to the point where we forget the principles of liberty and democracy." Many of the witnesses he had subpaena told him their lives had been threatened 24 hours before they testified if they dared reveal any details of their flogging, Adkins said. Already 28 men and women, white and Negroes, have testified they were whipped, Adkins said.

BOXING COM. Farrell, Former Inspector, Will Fill Vacancy Left by Colored Man. (Preston News Service) Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 3.—Harry T. Farrell, Nantucket, was named by Governor Pinchot Wednesday to fill the vacancy on the state athletic commission caused by the removal last Tuesday night of Charles Fred White of Philadelphia. The new commissioner has been a boxing inspector and deputy commissioner, having been made deputy, Governor Pinchot said, in recognition of good work as inspector. He is 38 years old and a native of Wilkesbarre. "He was the only deputy boxing commissioner to be vested with the authority to name all officials for the fights held in his territory," the governor announcement said, "and was given that authority in order to enable him to break up the operations of a gambling ring. He handled all the preparations and details for the Latzo-Walker fight, the contest that resulted in giving Pennsylvania its first world's champion boxer." White was removed by the governor on the ground that he had failed to live up to a promise to cease discussing through the newspapers boxing questions at issue before the board.

JO BAKER BIG PARIS SUCCESS Writer Grows Enthusiastic on Sketching Charm, Versatility of Actress. (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) Writing on the current Folies-Bergere, in Paris, E. E. Cummings, in the September "Vanity Fair," asserts of Josephine Baker, a colored dancer and singer, that she is "the latest and most astounding development of the Parisian revue." "As a member of the Chocolate Dandies chorus," writes Mr. Cummings, "she resembled some tall, vital, incomparably fluid nightmare which crossed its eyes and warped its limbs in a purely earthly manner —some vision which opened new avenues of fear, which suggested nothing but itself and which, consequently, was stricly esthetic. It may seem preposterous that this terrifying nightmare should have become the most beautiful (and beautiful is what we mean) star of the Parisian stage. Yet such is the case." In the present spectacle Mr. Cummings describes Miss Baker's "get-up" as consisting of "a few bananas and not too much jewelry." He continues: "Herself is two perfectly fused things: an entirely beautiful body and a beautiful command of its entirety. Her voice (simultaneously uncoath and exquisite—luminous as only certain dark voices are luminous) is as distinctly a part of this body as are her gestures, which emanate a spontaneous or personal rigidity only to dissolve it in a premeditation at once liquid and racial." Argues Against World Court on False Grounds That It Will Contain Three Negro Officials as Judges. (Preston News Service) Columbia, S. C., Sept. 3.—An anti-World Court campaign, largely based on the statement that there are three Negro judges in that body, is being used by one aspirant for the United States Senate seat of Ellison D. Smith, who is seeking re-election. The man who makes the statement and the campaign is Edgar A. Brown, speaker of the State House of Representatives and former chairman of the State Democratic Committee. Oddly enough, Brown, as a member of the Platform Committee at the 1924 Democratic National Convention, helped draft a plank which characterized the Court and League of Nations as: "The supreme effort of the statesmanship and religious conviction of our time to organize the world for peace." Now he says: "Believing that with only one out of fourteen judges on the World Court (in fact there are eleven judg- (Continued on page 4) FINLEY WILSON SUCCEEDS SELF AS HEAD OF ELKS; BATES BEATS PACE HISTORICAL SOCIETY 1926 FINLEY WILSON SU HEAD OF ELKS; Minneapolis Physician Dies of Heart Trouble Dr. James Henry Redd, 3253 Aldrich avenue south, Minneapolis, died Sunday, August 29, at 3:35 a. m., at St. Mary's hospital. Officials at the hospital gave the cause of death as heart trouble. Dr. Redd had been unwell for a year. The last attack of his disease, which proved to be fatal, occurred about a month and a half ago, when he was taken to the hospital. Funeral services were held at Lakewood Chapel Tuesday morning, and the body was vaulted at Lakewood cemetery. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, 42 years ago, Dr. Redd received his professional training at Northwestern Medical school. He had practiced medicine in Minneapolis for approximately 17 years.

Re-Elections Dominate Order May Take Up Fight of Pullman Porters If Resolution Followed. (Preston News Service) Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 3.—Spirited battles for offices in the grand lodge of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World ran elections through until late last Friday night at Mount Zion Congregational temple. J. Finley Wilson of Washington again assumed the chair of grand exalted ruler, beginning his fifth consecutive term. Bates Wins. The hardest fight was between George W. Bates and Harry C. Pace, both of Newark, N. J., for grand secretary. After an hour's balloting, Pace conceded to Bates, who was elected by acclamation. Grand Treasurer James T. Carter of Richmond, Va., was re-elected, defeating T. Tiffany Tolliver of Roanoke, Va., and began his fifteenth consecutive term in that office. Houston Elected. Municipal Judge William C. Houston of Gary, Ind., was elected commissioner of education. Other newly elected officers were as follows: Dr. S. H. George, Paducah, KY., grand esteemed leading knight; Dr. Roland Johnson, Brooklyn, N. Y., grand esteemed lecturing knight; Cannal Payne, Washington, grand auditor; Grench Gillison, Hartford, Conn., grand tyler; Charles E. A.

Mrs. Berry to Office. Mrs. Ella V. Berry of Chicago won the office of grand daughter ruler over the former incumbent, Mrs. Laura Williams, of New York. With the election of officers concluded, following a gruelling campaign, the business sessions were closed. Wilson, grand exalted ruler, traced the growth of the order in his annual report. He showed how an average of 100 lodges a year had been added since 1922, and he described foreign expansion.

Propaganda, developed to a high point at the time of the war, continues to crop out. In the matter of race relations, it has been used with deadly effect upon every non-white people. Sometimes it is insidious; sometimes it is blatant. In the feature section of at least one of the local Sunday papers last week, there was a lurid example of it. Spread by a feature service which is used the world over, this streamer jumped out of the page: "How Yellow Men Buy White Girls in Our Big Cities TODAY. And why feminine vanity and greed lure lovemad orientals to first pamper and then strangle their western sweethearts." In the highly colored story which followed, the following quotation is a fair sample of the type of treatment used: "Behind the strangling to death of attractive Adelheid Brunges . . . lies a grotesque and sinister story of the hypnotic power which certain Orientals exercise over Occidental girls. . . It is a tale in which the popped calmness of the East meets the effervescence of the West—with calamity as the sequel. It is a tale in which feminine souls are bartered to the slant-eyed manipulators of human hearts." One of the pictures which accompanies the story and which shows Chinese and Japanese dancing with white girls is labeled "dance-hall menace" and claims to be "exposing one phase of the new 'yellow peril.'" It is all sheer bosh, of course. There is no reason why it should be taken seriously if it were not spread as widely as it is. Intelligent people will never read it; but it is, unfortunately, not the intelligent people who form the barrier to a people who are trying to rise from a position enforced subordination. To a certain type of reader, that story will make a strong appeal, and it is because of that type of reader that such propaganda, foolish and pointless under ordinary circumstances, is dangerous. Because this story was directed at yellow-skins, it is none the less important that we should realize it as a blow to us and recognize that it is to our best interests to attempt to halt such practices. For, truly, we are all brothers under the skin, and because the skin of the yellow man is nearer the color of ours than white, we are even the more closely allied, willy-nilly. There is nothing that can be done about a case like this; the virtue lies in realizing and labeling all such stories not as bedrock fact, but as foul-smelling clap-trap which will ultimately rebound to our hurt whether directed pointedly at us or not. WHITE KILLER LYNCHED At this week from any of the lights in a tiny front page story, singing the head, it told how a mob jam and lynched him. Used of having killed a woman.

The best bit this week from any of the local daily papers came the other night in a tiny front page story. Not more than two inches including the head, it told how a mob in Georgia took a white man from jail and lynched him. He was accused of having killed a woman. Had he been black, bold-faced type would have streamed across the page to tell of his alleged misdeed and the vengeance wreaked upon him by the mob. But he was white, and the story was given barely a full inch, with an inconspicuous head. For all that is white is good, and all that is black is evil, so saith the newspapers. Selah! A PULLMAN CAR a fine of five hundred dollars a pullman car down in Florida lady had violated the state law with white people and was a warrant to some white person. His decision in this case, the law, which some lawyer may courts of the land to decide, an is by its very make up desig In assessing a fine of five hundred dollars against a colored lady for riding in a pullman car down in Florida, the judge stated that the colored lady had violated the state law in that she was riding in a coach with white people and was not a nurse for a white child or servant to some white person. In rendering his decision in this case, the magistrate overlooked a point at law, which some lawyer may take up and call upon the higher courts of the land to decide, and that is, whether a pullman car is, by its very makeup, designated, when conveyed through the South, as "for white" as the law requires that such designation be made. Then, too, the question of "separate compartments" might be legally raised, because each berth is a separate compartment when made up. We doubt very seriously whether this particular car was labeled at any place or designated by a sifn "for white." Then, too, it is said that Mrs. Blanche Brookins was the one passenger who had occupied the one berth all the way from New York. That being the case, the point might be raised in her favor, that she being the only original passenger from New York, had priority of right in the car and that the other passengers were the ones violating the law of Florida in that they were riding in a car occupied by colored. In other words, were the white people riding in the car occupied by this colored lady or was she riding in the car occupied by the whites? Surely the questiono of priority of occupancy would be considered by any court of equity and justice of the land. It may be in the future, that colored people desiring to ride in a pullman car, may do well to endeavor to be the first on board, register the time, and remind the porter that they are the first on, so that all other comers will be passengers in a car occupied by colored.—St. Louis Argus.

OE WASH ASSOCIATION The Gorsedd is an assembly, an essential part of the modern Elstedford, the national bardic congress of Wales, whose objects are to encourage bardism, the Welsh language and customs, and to foster and cultivate a patriotic spirit. It is divided into three orders, the bards, the Drudd bards and the Ovate bards. The first are the poets; the second, religious teachers, and the third, persons interested in literature, science and art. The Drudd is the highest grade. Women and men are eligible for all degrees. The first Gorsedd was held in America in connection with the World's fair elstedford at Chicago in 1893. Odd Ocean Denizen One of the strangest of living creatures is the animal lily, specimens of which have been dredged off the ocean floor near the Queen Charlotte islands. It was found at a depth of 1.8 miles below the surface, where it lived in complete darkness, in a temperature near the freezing point and under a pressure of 290 atmospheres, or more than two tons to the square inch. Although a true animal, the creature closely resembles a lily in form and, attached to the rocks, subsists solely upon particles of food that the slowly moving waters bring to it. Insect's Home Is Sea An insect belonging to the fly family that spends its whole life in salt sea water is the strange find reported to the Royal society by F. W. Edwards and Dr. P. A. Buxton of the British museum. Doctor Buxton, who recently returned from a voyage to Samoa, found the insect associated with related forms whose larval or infant stages are spent in the water, but whose adult life is lived in the normal aerial surroundings of most insects. This is said to be the first recorded case of an insect going through its whole life cycle in sea water.

That is the eal pity of this latest lynching, the real danger in such mob murders. It is an attack upon the courts which in Virginia is not justified.” ‘Still another editorial admonishes the white citizens of Wytheville not to bemoan the bad advertising given to their town but to set themselves resolutely to discovering and punish- ing the lynchers. The editorial goes on: “Reports from Wytheville are to the effect that neither the towns or county seems to be particularly per- turbed over the outrage upon law justice of which a mob of its citizens is guilty. If those reports be true, then Wytheville will not be able to re-establish itself in the esteem of law-abiding people’ by pleading the injustice of its publicity... .” Anniversary of Birth ‘The word “birthday” has two prin- cipal meanings. The day of a per- son's birth is his birthday. In that sense a person hes only one birthday —it is his first and last. But “Dirth- day” also means the anniversary of one’s birth. In that sense a man's first birthday is the day he was one year old, He has a birthday each year after that.

(Associated Negro Press) Dempsey was champion boxer, then champion dodger, and now, according to Harry Wills, he has become the Champion Liar. Through all this rotten lying and dodging on the part of the boxer and some members of the boxing commission, Wills has kept dignified silent. But there comes a time when silence is a weakness, not a virtue. It is time for all of us to speak plain language. Here goes; if Wills were champion and Dempsey challenger, and the black champion had the white challenger as much as Dempsey had dodged Wills, the Negro would have been uncrowned, not only by the New York Commission, but also by every other boxing authority in the Union, and there would not be a place left where he could box for an orphan's milk fund. Any such dodging black champion have been called "yellow" in so many different dialects that he would stand as a disgrace to his entire race. Harry Wills was not talking rashly when he questioned Dempsey's veracity. For example, Dempsey had the brazen face to say that for five years he has been trying to get Harry in the ring! We must at least compliment Dempsey's nerve; it certainly takes nerve to say publicly, boldly and in big print something that everybody knows is untrue. Wills has been the one chasing Dempsey, since the memory of the fun runneth not to the contrary. A few questions will make that clear. Has the boxing commission ever had to threaten Wills to try to make him contract with Dempsey? Has the commission ever had to order Wills to set a date for a bout with Dempsey? Has Wills ever forfeited $50,000 just to keep from meeting Dempsey? Has any promoter ever had to get an injunction against Wills to try to make him live up to contract to box Dempsey? Has Wills ever pretended, as Dempsey has pretended, that the lack of financial inducement stood in the way? Wills has been willing to leave all the money to Dempsey, if only Jack would fight. If money were the consideration to Harry, believe us, he could get more money by agreeing to "ile down" to Dempsey, or to sell out in some way, than he could ever get by licking Dempsey. When we compare the character, cleanness and manhood of the two men today, we can say, sincerely, that we would rather be in the same race with Harry Wills than to belong to anything that claimed Jack Dempsey as a member. Now, if Dempsey does not trade off his title to Tunney, so as to get out of hot water by looting another white man in to keep up the dodging for another five years—if Tunney should happen to be licked (by an accidental blow from Dempsey), what excuse will Dempsey next give to keep from risking battle with his only rival—Harry Wills?

She was a creature of Greek mythology, having the body of a lion, the wings of a bird, the tail of a serpent and the head of a woman. She presented the Thebans with a riddle, according to the legend, and slew all those who were unable to guess it. Epipus solved it at length, and in chagrin she cast herself over a cliff and died. Somewhat similar composite figures are familiar in Egyptian art—bodies of lions with heads of other animals or of men. The Greeks called these representations sphinxes, and we have adopted their term. To the Egyptians, however, the figures were artistic conceptions of an imaginary animal believed to be a favorite incarnation of Re, the sun god. The pharaohs were held to be the descendants of Re, and his representatives on earth. For that reason the face of a sphinx was modeled after that of the reigning monarch, or sometimes from that of the queen. Of the numerous Egyptian sphinxes the most celebrated and remarkable, of course, is the Great Sphinx of Gizeh, lying among the pyramids as a guardian of the necropolis. From inscriptions found on this famous monument when the dust of ages was cleared away from the front of it in 1816, the figure is taken to represent Harmachis, a special form of the sun god. Species Not Popular on Railroad Trains Fond fathers who carry pictures of their offspring sitting in their bath-tubs. People who borrow your magazine to hold over Toto's basket every time the conductor comes along. Charming young men who insist on talking to you. Nice old ladies who asked you, three minutes after the train has started and then every 20 minutes thereafter, whether you are positive this is the right train, why you are positive, whether you haven't ever made a mistake in a similar situation, and what you think Joe will think if they should arrive as expected. Children who get all smeared up with chocolate and then identify you as dad-da. Three-hundred-pound male bipeds with handkerchiefs in their collar bands who go for water between every station, always arriving at your chair just as the train lurches round the sharpest bend in the vicinity. Young married couples who rest their heads on each other's shoulders when the nearest shoulder you dare rest your head on is 280 miles away. —Boston Herald. Navigational Authority One of the extremely old organizations in England is the Corporation of Trinity house, the history of which, some authorities say, goes back to the days of Alfred the Great. Trinity house has a long arm, reaching all around the coasts of Great Britain, embracing the Channel islands and extending to Gibraltar. Within this extensive area it is the supreme navigational authority. It runs the light houses, buoys the channels, lays down the navigation marks and licenses most of the pilots. There are approximately 1,000 persons in its employ and all of them are engaged in some way or another in lessening the risks incidental to seafaring. Every American traveler who visits Europe is dependent upon Trinity house for reaching harbor safely on the other side. Christian Science Monitor.

They are certainly decreasing in number. The third molar is doomed, and other teeth may follow until the normal state of man is toothlessness. When that happens the square chin will no longer be a sign of strength of character, for there will be none. As the teeth recede or disappear the chin will recede also.
