COLORED ASSOCIATION APPEALS
TO MIR. LODGE.
Asks for Protection, Comparing 30
Lynchings in q. s. to 0 Killings in
Mexico.

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People has
sent to Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets, chairman of the foreign rela-
tons committee, letter urging that
protection be given Colored citizens
within the United States. The letter
cites cases of lynching of thirty-six
Colored men of the United States be-
tween July 81 and November 2S,
1919, and of two Mexicans. In Mexi-
CO in the same period, 1t says, nine
Americans have been killed.
''The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People calls
your attention" says the letter, lin

of Americans by bandits in Mexico.
which are urged as grounds for in
PREVENTION by the United States gov
eminent, to the unpublished murder
by mobs of Americans, not in Mexico,
but in the United States. AS we ap-
prove of exacting protection for
United States citizens in Mexico. may
we inquire the United States gov
eminent intends to require of Mexico
and not itself accorded?
"The records of the State Depart

that nine Americans have died in
Mexico since July 81.

He Began Swindling in 1912, But
Would Have Saved Self Had He
Been Ieft Alone.

Cape Girardeau, Mo-, Dec. 25.-Prop-
ped up in bed in his beautiful Popu-
lar Bluff home, George Begley, Jr.,
the bankrupt rice king" today told
the stories of his forgeries and tran
sactions to Judge o. A. KnehanS,
referee in bankruptcy of the United
States District Court, after his father
George Begley, ST., and his mother
in-law, Mrs. Effie Ruth. had signed
new deed of trust for $4,000 to
replace a forged instrument held
by the Mississippi Valley Trust Com
pany of ST. Louis, reducing the
amount of the forgeries known to
$4,000.
Begley, who has taken poison three
times and is now declared on the
road to recovery, was willing to talk
Of his career of finance. He admit
ed that various deeds of trust and
ether instruments mentioned by
Judge Knebans were spurious and
explained that in mapv cases the
original document had been used
three or four times. He was caution
ed that he need not make any in
eliminating statements.
In the room during the taking OF
the testimony, besides Judge Knee
ans, were his father, D. H. Doane
trustee of the bankrupt estate, Judge
w. H. Meredith, attorney for Begley
and Charles Lyles, attorney for the
creditors. The bankrupt's young wife
during the hearing was in bed in
another room seriously i'll.

the period since 1912 when, accord
ing to his statement, his career OF
forgery began, and explained the
manner in which creditors and bust
ness associates were defraude1
any specific act
He said he had not lavished ex-
pensive jewelry and clothing upon
his wife and declared that If he had
been left alone nine months longer
he could have been saved himself
He cody discussed the different
forged instruments, explaining which
were bogus and which were bona
fide. He appeared anxious to assist
the referee and the attorneys in
Strengthening out his tangled af-
fairs.
Judge Knehans said he under
stood that federal authorities are in
vestigating the case in regard to Beg
ley's use OF the mails in his oper-
ations. If found ~,iilty of this another

New York, N. Y.-Edward Smith
Greene, of Ill West 143rd street,
secretary of the Black Star Line
Corporation, was wounded in the
hallway of his home last Sunday
night by bullet fired by an I'M
known assailant. Greene was on
his way to his apartment with some
things he had procured for his wife,
who was then seriously i'll, when he
was attacked by a man whom he de-
scribed as short, dark and stockily
built.
The man fired a shot, wounding
Greene in the leg, and ran. Greene
gave chase, but was compelled to
desist because of his wounded leg
The man escaped, running east
through 143rd street. The shot at
tracted the attention of Mrs. Hill, a
tenant in the 143rd street house, and
Patrolman Berry, of the 3Sth Pre-
cinct, who went to Greene's assist
ance. Greene can ascribe no motive
for the shooting. He is considered
an amiable young man and has no
enemies so far as he knows.
Marcus Garvey. president OF the
Black Star Line, advances the theory
that the attack may have been the
outcome of what he states to be an
organized effort to discredit all the
officers OF the Black Star Line.

LOAN SUBSCRIPTIONS

HOurs-This County And State go
Over The Top.

The fifth and final Liberty Loan of
this country, known as the Victory
Loan, was finished with rush Sat
urday afternoon. when all of the
different headquarters received and
reported subscriptions that not only
assured the four and a half billion
dollars asked by the Treasury De-
partment, but probably exceeded the
sum requested by one and half bill
lions.
The news was received here Sat
urday night that the State had ex-
ceeded its quota by something over
two million dollars, and that every
county in the State was believed to
have taken it's part of the loan.
The quota of this county was prac-
tically completed on Friday, although
many subscriptions were received on
Saturday. While several OF the, dis
tricts did not fill their quotas, the
deficits were made up by the banks,
but fortunately the sales had been
such that it is not believed that any
of the banks will have large sums to
take.

Lodge Rebaked For Stand
On Italian spute

Washington. D C.-Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, who was conspicu-
Gus if not singular among American
Statesmen as the supporter af Italian
claims to Fiume, the portal'ef Jugo-
slavia, has received a rebuke from
an influential publisher.
In a letter to the Washington Star.
of which he is president, Frank B.
Noyes, head of the Associated Press,
deprecates Senator Lodges efforts to
champion Italy against the lugoslavs
and President Wilson. The text of
this letter, which is caustic rejoin-
der to Italy's most prominent defen-
der in this country. is as follows:
Perhaps no more. fragrant exam
pie of the extraordinary lengths to
which extreme partisanship will go
can be found than is furnished by
Senator Lodge in his telegram on
the Fiume situation, in which he
says: italy regards Fiume as the.
founders of our own republic regard
ed the mouth of the Mississippi when
it was said that any other nation
holding the mouth of the Mississippi
was of necessity an enemy of the
United States
1T requires only q modicum of in
telligence to appreciate the fact that
the situation is the precise opposite
of that stated by Senator Ladge. The
objection of the. United States was
that the control of the mouth of the
Mississippi by France, even though
the population of New Orleans was
French, was destructive of the eco
nomic interests of the whole area
drained by the Mississippi just as
the possession by Italy of Fiume
be destructive of the eco
nolnic interests of the whole hinter-
land dependent ON Fiume for warm
water port. ~
No more apt illustration of the
historic position of the United
States on the subject could be given
nor one one more clearly showing
the wrong that Italy seeks to accom-
plish.
