Senate Holds Up
Riot Investigation;

Washington, Oct. 1.-Congressional
investigation of recent race riots over
the country proposed in a resolution
by Senator Curtis (Rep.), Kansas,
was considered today by the senate
judiciary committee, but action was
deferred.
Acting Secretary of Labor Post
wrote the committee indorsing the
resolution, but opposition in the COM
mittee developed and the resolution
went over for a week.
Opponents said they believed race
clashes were matters for the state to
deal with and doubted whether con-
gressional investigation would be
helpful.
Senator Curtis filed with the COM

Association for Advancement of Col

Sunday was perhaps one of the
grandest and busiest days in the his
tory of our church. From the early
morning prayer meeting through the
evening service large numbers Of peo-
pie thronged here to worship. DIR. T..
II. Copeland, general secretary of the

which time he preached an able and
eloquent message to packed house.
The choir was at its best and Mrs.

Chief Corner Stone" was very effec-
tive. At o'clock the great Pro-
gressive Choral society, which is under
the direction of Prof. J. Wesley Jones,
turned out 100 strong, and every num-

tured the vast audience that many
were made to weep and the very at

57th Anniversary of
Issuance of Emanci.
patton Proclamation
Is celebrated

Under the auspices of the Freling-
huysen university Of this city the
tifty-seventh anniversary Of the issu-
anee of the Emancipation proclama-
ton was celebrated at the John Yves.
ley A. NJ. E. Zion church last Monday
evening. Despite inclement weather
large audience was present to Join
in the celebration.
The principal address sof the occa-
sion was to have been delivered by
Senator Medill Mccormick of Illinois,
but the illness of his wife taking him
to Chicago prevented his participa-
ton. For him Senator Sherman, his
colleague, spoke.
Senator Sherman opened his ad-
dress with the argument that law does
not always make equality, and cited
in proof Of that statement inheritance
laws which make for a condition lust
the opposite. Out of this argument
came the inference that, more than
laws, industry, the capacity to earn
and to save, counted in the acquire
ment of material possessions. The
senator presented statistics proving a
remarkable progress in material ac-
quirements of the Negro since his
emancipation. Among the figures
presented were those showing the
number of homes acquired, the value
of personal property and that of the
Negro church and educational insti-
tutions. He also cited that of those
persons in the United States engaged
in gainful occupations 40 per cent
were white and So per cent were COL
ored.
Among the general statements made
by the senator was that in which he
said: "There is very little coneen-
trated lawlessness among the colored
people. The percentage among them
is no greater than among any other
group of people in the United States"
And he said: "I am interested to see
that there be no special privileges"
and, can injury to you is an injury to
me. IL is an example which is used
in other instances" The senator de-
nounced socialism, and stated that he
knew of very few Negroes who had
identified themselves with that move
ment.

LIBERIA
President-Elect King Touring
United States Arouses Inter.
est in African Republic
Facts About Country.

Liberia, whose president-elect is
touring the United States, is the SUBJ
ject of the following bulletin from the
National Geographical Society, Wash
ington:
"The African Republic, America
only colony, has an era equivalent to
that of Kentucky. But Of the 100000
or more inhabitants only about $4,000
of American origin may be con-
sidered civilized and take part in the
government.
Liberia is situated on the west
ocast Of Africa at the point where the
coast line makes the great bend to
form the Gulf of Guinea. Its position
puts it directly on line Of ocean CON-
munication between Europe and South
Africa and points reached by way Of
Cape Good Hope.
Its southern boundary is its Allan
tic coast line of some $50 miles. On
the west is the British colony of Sierra
Leona where futile attempts at coloni-
cation were made before Liberia was
reached and on the east and north are
, French possessions Of the Ivory coast
and Niger Basin regions.
There are quaint customs among
the natives, many Of them bearing a
similarity to civilized practices, such
as the MandingO methods of counting
by presents, which, if accepted, signify
tacit consent to further attentions
and the wearing of mourning bands,
not upon the sleeve, for the native
garb is often exceedingly scant, but
around the fingers or about the head.
These bands are made of dried grasses
or palms.
"Other practices are not so harm
less. Especially Objectionable, some
travellers report, are the initiation GER
emonies when the young folks reach
marriagable age. These are conducted
by the 'he-bogeys' and the 'she-bogeys'
respectively, for the sexes, and while
they include some instruction in duties
of fatherhood and womanhood often
are orgiastic in character.
Now that the stream Of colonies
has long since stopped the future of
Liberia lies in the natives, ranging
from barbarity to the verge of ciyili-
cation, but practically all raw material
for civiliging influences. There are no
pygmies in Liberia and some tribes
such as the Mandingoes are fine phys
zeal specimens, with pronounced Eu-
ropean cast of features.
For some forty or fifty miles back
Of its coast Liberia has been cleared
and developed, but from that mag
mary line inland there are dense for
ests and primitive people. Sir Henry
Johnston encountered beasts, birds and
reptiles living today which, he wrote,
are found fossil in Miocene formations
of France and southern Germany.
"Thus there is the contrast of one
of the unique experiments in political
annals. Stevenson referred to Liberia
as footnote to history, set amid the
least known region of the erstwhile
dark continent
PLANNED as a reparation for the
seizure Of its natives as slaves and an
experiment in transplanting a far
flung race once more in their native
soil, the beginnings of Liberia had

from 1889 to 1918, 2,522 Negroes anc
7O2 whites were victims Of lynch law
with less than "a per cent of the
negroes charged with attacks on
women.
Declares States Fail in Duty.
1.-THE states have proved themselves
unable or unwilling to stop lynching,' y
the statement declared. Gwen at
tempts to prosecute are so rare as to
be exceptional.
"Lynching and mob violence have
become to be national problem. The
extension Of lynching to northern
states with white men as victims
shows it is idle to suppose mob muir
der can be confined to one section OF
the country or one race.
Disregard of the law will enev-
itably lead to more frequent clashes
and bloody encounters between white
and negroes and a condition Of poten-
tial race war in many cities"
BOrah DeplOres Lawlessness.
Addressing the senate today in OPP
position to the league of nations
which he said would cause entangle-
ment of this country in European pol
itics, Senator Borah, Republican, OF
Idaho, declared Americas fundamen-
tai principles and institutions were
being attacked, both from the top anc
bottom of society.
Deploring lawlessness as evidenced
in lynchings, bomb outrages and sedi'
tious propaganda, Senator Borah de
clared that persons in responsible pc
sitions also were agitating doctrines
which he regarded as inimicai t.
American institutions.
Senator Borah called attention tC
an alleged statement by Judge e. H
Gary, chairman of the board of di
rectors of the United States Steel Cor
poration, that "the principles Of Wash
ington and jefferson are old-fash
toned" and the propaganda of the
league to enforce peace calling fol-
American participation in European
affairs.
Americas existence is challenged
today" the senator declared.

many contact points with early Amer
lean history.
at will be remembered that the
movement for emancipating slaves
had its beginnings year after the
Declaration of Independence was
signed, with the abolition of slavery
in Vermont, and that as early as 1903
the importation Of African slaves into
this country was prohibited. Mean
time, George Washington having set
the example, many slave owners made
provision in their wills for freeing
their human property.
"Thus it came about that the freed
mans problem antedated the civil war
by a half century, and Henry Clay
presided over a meeting in Washing
ton in 1916 to form a colonization
society. Bushrod Washington was the
first president Of that society for
mally organized on New Years day
in 1917, and after several expeditions
had met with misadventure through
epidemics and opposition Of natives
the Rev. Jehudi Ashmum in 1921
founded Liberia.
"The country's name, signifying
LAND of the Free" and that of the
principal city, Monrovia, in honor of
the then president Of the United
States, are variOusly attributed to the
Rev. Ralph r. Gurley, Ashmun's
friend and biographer, who drafted
the first Liberian constitution, and to
Robert G. Harper of Baltimore, a
patron Of the colonization movement.
"Within a decade of Ashmun's ar
rival the American population had
risen to nearly 1900, daily news
paper had been started aand a code
of laws was in practical operation.
Originally the Portuguese and the
Dutch had sought gold, pepper and
slaves from Liberia. Today, as then,
it has vast undeveloped resources, both
mineral and agricultural. But before
the war it exported goodly quantities
of rubber, palm oil, fibre, cocoa, coffee,
ivory and spices.
Liberia is asserted to have one of
the hottest climates in the world, and
few areas have more rain. The yearly
fall amounts to nearly thirteen feet
Of water. The colonists declared Lii
IBERIA an independent republic in 1847,
and it was recognized within few
years by nearly all countries except
the United States. Previously there
had been a split and Maryland, now
the southern county of the republic,
was rival state to Liberia. 1t had
its conception from a second COLOMBIA
ton society from the state Of Mary
land, in the United States.
"Ten years ago President Roosevelt
sent a commission to Liebria to in
vestigate conditions. That, commits
sion's report resulted in negotiations
for an adjustment of Liberals debt
and placing United States officials in
charge of Liberian customs collections.
The following year the American gov
eminent, acting in agreement with
England, France and Germany, as
sumed supervision of the finances,
military organizations and boundary
questions. German merchants offend
ed the chief executive of the republic
in 1912 and out of this incident a
quarrel developed which resulted in
two German gunboats forcing an apol-
ogy from the president. But the pres
ident retaliated by giving English
trade special privileges, and in the
world war Liberia cast her lot with
the allied nations. The government of
the republic is modelled after that of
the United States"
