Charges Anti-Negro
Propaganda Caused
Omaha Riots

y 4.sspyyAee-skhe s4Sa4o~afi isr4ssssssess,,
for the A tAncement Of Colored
People, 70 Fifth Avenue, today made
public a statement charging that a
prominent cause of the Omaha riots
in which the mayor of the city mar
rowly escaped hanging, was distorted
newspaper accounts featuring the
word Negro in connection with crime.
In many cases, according to the
statement, alleged crimes were at.
tributed to Negroes and it was after
wards discovered that the victims
could not in any way identify the
criminals.
''To the race riots in Atlanta and
in Washington which are directly at
tributable to newspaper headlines, is
now to be added the shame of Om-
aha" says the statement. Trouble
was foreseen for months A recent
report from our Omaha branch says !:
"Since the Washington and Chicago
riots we are having to fight propa-
ganda to discredit the Negro in this
community. The Daily News, Bee,
and the World Herald, our daily pap
ers, persist in placing glaring head
fines every alleged crime of Negroes
Upon investigation, we find they have
no ground for doing so, as the vic
Tins do not in many cases know who
their assailants are. We are writing
the Chamber of Commerce asking for
a conference with them, the news
paper men, and such leading citizens
as they deem best. We hope in this
way to stop some of it as our re-
quests to the papers have been ig-
nored.'
'As early as last June the Omaha
branch of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie held a meeting protesting against
remarks of the chief of police in
which he seemed to hold the entire
colored population responsible for the
acts of a few Negro criminals. At
that meeting resolutions were passed
deploring the tendency of newspapers
to emphasize by glaring headlines the
race of suspected assailants in cases
of crime attributed to colored men,

To all outward appearances, the mob
passion has died down here, and un-
less some unforeseen incident should
take place it is not believed there
will be a renewal of the lynchings
which have marked the last two days,
following a number of criminal as
saults upon white women by Negroes.
When the sun went down last night,
darkness ushered in grim silence in
marked contrast with the previous
nights when there was desultory
shooting, rumors of bloody fights,
gruesome reports of the finding of
boys body and many other reports
that tend to fan the flame of race
hatred to a point of actual open war
fare
The streets of this city were clear
of all Negroes last night and every
business place in the Negro section
was closed. At present four Negroes
are known to have been killed, and
one policeman was shot TO death by a
Negro
Sidney ROTOR, the 1l-year-old
white boy, whose disappearance
caused excitement, was located at a
late hour last night in Atlanta. 1t
was a well-known fact early in the
night that definite plan of action
had been decided upon should it de-
velop that the boy had been mur-
dered nd for this reason large por-
tion of the city did not sleep through
out the night.
Almost every home throughout the
residential section kept all lights
burning Some of the foremost radi-
cal Negro leaders have been run out
of the city, and hundreds of Negroes
left voluntarily throughout the day
Monday and Tuesday.
The entire city is being patrolled
by special police to prevent further

In rehabilitation it has obviously
been the policy to make the regiment
the prime unit but to retain in ex-

IT is probable. according TO the cx-
