THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE A NATIONAL JOURNAL OF OPINION AND CIRCULATION :: MILWAUKEE -- M VOL. II MADISON, WIS., THURSDAY MAY 23, 1918 FACTS IN EDITOR R. B. MONT-GOMERY'S FRAME-UP CASE From Attorney Harry L. Scott I take this opportunity to say for publication, while appreciating the anxiety in regard to Mr. R. B. Montgomery's unjust imprisonment, it was my good fortune to appear for Mr. Montgomery and to expose the dirty little frameup. I was called in on Friday and he was a free man on Saturday. The city, the county and the state absolutely failed to make a case against him. The scoured high and low, sending to Oklahoma and elsewhere for evidence against him, but failed in the attempt. Not a man, white or black, in the Twin Cities could be found to swear incriminating evidence against him. The only statements were by 2 colored detectives and Minneapolis stool pigeons which could not be substantiated. Had the proper procedure been followed Mr. Montgomery, instead of lying in jail for eight days, as he did, would have been out in twenty-four hours. It is quite a vindication to Mr. Montgomery's record that he was given his freedom through the writ of habeas corpus, which in substance is to say that by the law of the state of Minnesota he was imprisoned wrongly and falsely. It might be interesting for you to know that they attempted to make much of the fact that he was collecting money for a colored school, but upon investigation Mr. Montgomery showed without a doubt his authority from Principal R. D. Hunt of Douglas Colored Institute. If it is a crime to collect money for a bona fide institution, with bona fide authorization, then Booker T. Washington, who collected for Tuskegee, and J. C. Price, who collected for Livingston, would be censured rather than praised. Dear Reader, take no stock in the Twin City Star, a rival of the National Advocate. Harry L. Scott. R. B. Montgomery, Editor of the National Advocate, a Negro Weekly Newspaper. Ex- enlisted. On Saturday, May 11th, R. B. Montgomery was discharged in the Municipal Court of St. Paul, no charge of any kind having been made against him. He was arrested Saturday May 4th, without a warrant while transacting some business at the First National Bank in St. Paul, by a Negro detective named Mitchell and placed in the police station where he was held without a charge until Thursday, the 9th, inst., when he was taken into the Municipal Court, no charge was made, but on the statement of the assistant county attorney, that a charge of grand larceny would be made and that defendant was under federal investigation. Judge Boerner continued the case until the 11th inst., and fixed the bail at $1,000.00, Defendant was then taken to the county jail. Chas, Sumner Smith, Negro editor of the Twin City Star, a rival Negro Newspaper, who some months ago assaulted Montgomery in the Court house in St. Paul, claims to have made the investigations that brought about Montgomery's arrest. During the entire week, from May 4 to 11, in which Montgomery was confined no evidence was found, despite the strenuous efforts of the St. Paul police force and Chas, Sumner Smith, upon which a criminal charge could be based, hence the release. The whole matter appears to be a cunningly devised scheme to injure Montgomery, to prevent his getting out his paper, and to keep him from doing business in St. Paul. Mr Montgomery will probably seek further vindication, by legal action, if assured of the sanity of Chas, Sumner Smith. Wm R Morris Wm. R. Morris. Attorney for R. B. Montgomery.

Led by twenty-five bands and as many drum corps, 10,000 Red Cross women paraded in Milwaukee last Saturday. From an excellent vantage point for more than an hour we watched them march with martial tread and noted the enthusiasm and willingness that seemed to animate them as a unit. Many of them were women past middle life to whom a march of three miles after a long wait is no child's play, yet equally with their younger and more vigorous sisters they strode along like veterans of the march. Truly it was a wonderful spectacle and one that ought to inspire every one of the large throng that lined the streets to witness it. And what does it all mean? Why leave the comforts of the home, the easy chair and comfortable slippers to march along the tar covered blocks of Grand Ave. BELOIT.

It means that the American women are no "slackers"; that while their fathers and brothers, husbands and sweethearts are facing the enemy on the French front, they purpose to do their "bit" on the American front. It means that for every Hun who inflicts a wound upon an American soldier, there is a gentle and loving American hand to ease it. It means that the women of America, irrespective of station in life, imbued with a love of country unsurpassed by that of the men, have enlisted for the period of the war and stand ready to render service to the limit of their capacity—and then some.

The groups being separate clubs, were not together, because that would be segregation, a thing unknown to the Red Cross, but occupied the positions assigned them by virtue of the time of their application. They were about a mile apart and received their need of generous applause. We certainly were proud of them. This was the beginning of the great drive for funds to carry on the work so well begun.

With the American Army in France. The first hand to hand encounter between the Germans and American negro infantry has taken place. Two in the sector north of Saint Menehould drove back twenty-four Germans, killing or wounding fully half of the enemy. The heroes are Privates Henry Johnson, Albany, and Needham Roberts, New York city. Both have been decorated with the French war cross. They belong to a unit of New Yorkers holding a sector of the French front, supported by French artillery. Each Wounded Thrice Battling in the blackness of night with rifles, hand grenades and a "bolo knife," wholly deprived of the assistance of their comrades, they put to flight an enemy assaulting party. Roberts, wounded in three places, stretched out helplessly in the mud, hurled grenades, even while the hands of a museular German were about his throat. Johnson did even more. Having shot one of his foemen down and clubbed another with the butt of his rifle, he sprung to the aid of Roberts, and with his bolo knife clove open the skull of one German and disembowled another. As the enemy retreated, Johnson, three times wounded, sank to the ground, seized a grenade alongside his prostrated body and literally blew one of the fleeing Germans to fragments. The private were awarded the cross de guerre by a French general and Johnson will receive the much coveted gold palm of the French army commander as well. Johnson's citation in the divisional order of the day follows: "Private Henry Johnson, finding himself on night sentry duty and being attacked by a group of more than a dozen Germans, put one hors de combat with rifle shots and two others with knife cuts. Although wounded thrice by revolver bullets and grenades at the start of the fight, he went to the help of his wounded comrade, as the latter was about to be carried off by the enemy, and continued the struggle until the Germans were forced to flee." Participating in a raid with the poilus in the early days of their trench training, the dusky New Yorkers captured three prisoners and Lieut. Marshall L. Johnson, a white officer, won the croix de guerre. (Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co., The New York World.) GIRL BELLHOPS Special to The Blade. St. Louis, Mo. The Hamilton Hotel, Hamilton and Maple avenues, has been forced to dispense with the services of white boys as "bellhops" and has Colored girls to act in this capacity. This is the first time in the history of the city that white boys have been replaced by the girls of our race. Since the United States entered the war many of the large hotels have employed women and girls as elevator operators and starters, but the Hamilton hotel is the first resort to employ girls as "bellhops". The hotel management says it became almost impossible to get the white boys. So far the service of girls have proved entirely satisfactory. NOTED EVANGELIST, REV MRS. O. S.

Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and willing hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office can not buy; Men who have honor; men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking, Tall men, gun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking." J. G. Holland BLADELETS Be 100 per cent Americans. Yield to no man in loyalty to the nation. You may serve your country by words as well as by deeds. Speak them. Heroes are not always found upon the battlefield. He who speaks up for the right in spite of consequence is equally a hero. Many white men believe in equal rights and opportunities for the Negro, but they either lack the moral courage to express themselves or consider it none of their business. In his testimony at the trial of Miss Lusk for the killing of Mrs. Roberts, Dr. Roberts, husband of the slain woman declares that Miss Lusk, at their first meeting, a business one, begged him to love her and take her to Chicago for "a good time." Dr. Roberts is either a — liar or else Miss Lusk the most forward young woman imaginable. The man or woman who would do or say anything that will further divide and keep separate the colored people themselves, may be likened to the fool that rocks the boat, only more dangerous. We cannot afford to let little petty social differences keep us divided on the more important matters that affect us all alike. Within the race, as without, every man has a perfect right to select his own friends and social associates, uncontrolled by anyone else. We stand for this without qualification. ON WHEATLESS DAYS USE NO BREAD CRAFTERS PASTRY OR BREAKFAST FOODS CONTAINING WHEAT. OVER THE TOP Tennessee has again gone "over the top." This time it is Johnson City that demonstrates its right to a place "in the sun". As usual the victim is a Negro, and he is alleged to have assaulted a white girl. According to newspaper reports he is said to have attempted to escape the mob dragging with him the dead body of his victim, for what purpose we are not advised. But to show their superiority, the white mob shot him dead and then dragged his lifeless body to the Negro section of the town and the Negro population of sixty or seventy persons forced to witness the burning of a human being. And all the while American soldiers are fighting on a foreign battlefield to make the world a decent place to live in. Now, granted that this Negro did commit the heinous crime of which he is charged (and it is not proven) what good purpose did it serve to force innocent people to witness the ghoulish pastime of burning a human body? They were not even charged with any offense and for ought we know TREASURY DEPT.. LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN COM- MITTEE J, Anthony Josey, Editor Wisconsin Weekly Blade, Madison, Wis.

Why punish the innocent for the act of the guilty? Why force these helpless people to witness a scene that must have been revolting to all save the vile perpetrators? Far be it from us to condone the offense with which the Negro victim was charged. If he was guilty he merited the death penalty, which he was sure to get. But by their act his executioners have reduced themselves below the level of brutes. They killed him it is sure but when they burned the lifeless body they wreaked vengeance on an inanimate thing and thus debased themselves. As Gen. Ballou says of the army, white men make the laws and white men can break them. But there is a just God above us all who notes every right and every wrong.
