RIGHTS
PLEA TO CONGRESS
Leaders OF Race Only
Want Justice For All.
LYNCHING A CRIME-FIVE
OTHER REQUESTS-NEGR0ES
Disseminated AGAINST IN
FEDERAL BUHDINGS-0FFI-
GERS ELECTED.

Congress is requested to make
lynching a crime against the Federal
government, and as such subject to
the Jurisdiction of the Federal courts,
in a petition unanimously passed by
the National Colored Liberty Con-
gress, which closed it's session here
yesterday.
This and five other requests for
the abolition of specific race discrimi"
nations are advocated by the petition
ers as win-the-war measure. The peti-
ton has been placed in the hands OF
Senator Penrose, and is to be pre-
sented to the Senate this week.
The Colored Congress pro.es s that
Negroes are Disseminated against in
public and Federal buildings in Fed
eral territory, in public carriers
operated by the government in GER
tain states, in the army and navy
school, in the right of suffrage IN
certain states and in the civil ervice.
The petitioners ask, in view of the
military service rendered by their
race during the present war, that our
own republic may not be a part or
the world not safe for democracy"
They also protest the segregation or
races in officers schools.
The Congress was called for the
purpose of laying the cause of the
colored man before the United States
Congress, and was attended by lib
delegates from 33 states. H. II. Harri-
son, of New York, was chairman OF
the Congress, and Prof. w. Bell,
of Kentucky, Secretary. William II.
Trotter, of Boston, was elected chair
man of the national executive COM
mittee for the coming year. M. W.
Spencer was elected Secretary.

one Of the seats, his body held as in
wise, sat one of the passengers,
still conscious, but with three of the
dead crushed against him. Here
the work began. The side of the car
was chopped away and the man re-
leased, apparently in dying condi-
tion.
From beneath the express car,
some thirty men were later removed,
only the last OF their number being
alive. His name could not be ascer-
tanned, but in the band of his hat
were stamped the initials e. T. B.
Wearing apparels of every descrip-
tion strewed the ground, among
which were several women's slippers,
but 1t is believed that they belonged
to the few Negro women passengers
who either fed the scene or are
numbered among the unidentified or
discovered dead.

and taxicabs did an enormous busi-
ness during the entire day and even
ing. 1t is estimated by members of
the police department that during the
day fully $4,000 persons visited the
site, and that no accidents occurred
is largely due to those officers on
whom the duty devolved of keeping
the huge throng in order.
Late comers were disappointed,
however as the wrecking crews lab
ored SO effectively that the tracks
were cleared and put in order in time
for trains No. to leave the Union
Station on time for its regular run at
10 O'Clock Tuesday night.
This, it is stated, is the first pas
senger train wreck on the N. c. and
st. L.. In many years, although a dis
1strous rear-end freight collision
occurred several months ago within
a few hundred yards of the site
of the present wreck, on which o.
sasion three of the trainmen were
killed and many heavily loaded cars
smashed to bits.
Crowds of people visited the
establishments of A. N John
son, Taylor and Co. and w. II.
McGavock, undertakers, to view the
dead Of the wreck which occurred
Tuesday morning. Each place was
beehive of activity. The morgues
were filled to overfiowing with the
dead and the halls were used to ac-
commodate the bodies in some in
stances. The dead were brough in
every conceivable gruesome shape
A. N. Johnson had trucks to assist In
transferring the bodies. These
trucks were open, and the bodies laid
crosswise piled high as possible moi
to roll Off One body was brought IN
washtub, Others had heads, hand!
and arms cut off, while some were
split in two. Several women were
among the colored workers who were
coming from Memphis and other sta
tions en- route to work at the Govern
men powder plant, Colored doctors
and nurses were rushed to the scene
and rendered all aid possible. Man!
who reside here and were expecting
relatives today thronged the streets
and visited the undertakers' estab
lishments. A large number of help
ers were kept busy moving bodie
from ambulances, while as man,

cured to prepare the bodies for ldeh-
tification, if possible. A number Oh
women and children are among the
dead.
George Hall, railroad porter on the
train going out from Nashville, was
among the dead. He was a resident
of Nashville, and his body is at ray
lor and Co.'S.
In speaking of their escape, several
survivers at the "Y" said when the
impact came between the two trains,
they were miraculously thrown out
of the windows clear OF the wreck
In some instances the escape OF the
more fortunate bordered on the MIR
aculous. Noticeable among TINS
number was the case of Milton
Frank, a brother of John p. ana Jas
Frank, the Fourth Avenue clothlers.
Young Frank was with his trlenu
Milton Lowenstine, when the latter
proposed that they go into the smoker
and have a smoke. When they
reached that car, Frank objected 10
the crowded condition and returned
to his car, where he went INTO the
smoking compartment and smaKeu
alone. .,
When the crash came he was thrown

unhurt. lii.
While the scenes at the white
morgues were heartrending, those at

anxious were tie undertakers to do

that all bodies were prepared for

Never before have such scenes been

of the day will long remain in the

Final determination of all questions

board, and it is charged with co-ordi-
mating and anticipating the needs of
any of these, creating or improving

Chairman is General Eye"
Much of the power is given to the
chairman, with the board acting in an
advisory capacity, and he, the presi-
dent says. should "act as the general
eye of all supply departments in the
field of industry"
Through the board it is proposed
to eliminate all competition for sup
plies between the various departments
and the allies, t.us meeting in meas
ure at least, the demand in congress
for Capitalization of power. There
were suggestions today that the action
now announced was one of the steps
contemplated by the president when
he sent to the senate the bill now
pending to enlarge his powers for re-
organizing and coordinating govern.
ment agencies, and that the delay in
bringing the measure to vote caused
him to. proceed without waiting for
legislation. If the bill is passed it will
be possible to make more specific

but in my judgment it will never come
until we have a cooperative spirit, a
cooperative education among the
