New York, Oct. 3O-In reporting
the work of the oClored Work Com
mittee at the final meeting of the
War Work Council of the Young
Womens Christian Association, held
recently at National Headquarters,
500 Lexington Avenue, Miss Eva Bow

had her chance and made good, and
that the time has passed for white
leadership for Colored people.
Miss Bowles, during her report
said: "As we report our achieve

future that will test all Of our powers
and conserve the work already laun-

Washington. D. c., Oct 30.-Plans
for establishment of free and in
dependent Negro state, partly within
the boundaries of the United States,
have been presented to the Senate
foreign relations committee and the

negotiations already have been in
stituted within the Carranza govern
ment for acquisition of this tract,
with extremely favorable prospects.
Provided the negotiations with the
Mexican government are successful,
DR.. Madden states that the delegates,
of which he is the head. has received
assurance from the state of Texas
that similar tract will be ceeded by
Texas contiguous to the Mexican tract.
This, DR.. Madden stated, assures
the acquision of tract 1000 niles
square, intersected by the Rio Grande
and bordering on the gulf, to be
erected into an Independent state, in
which Negroes would own the land,
make the laws and in all respects
be free and Independent nation. The
proposed state, according to DR.. Mad

NEGROES LEAVE
BECAUSE LAWS
NOT ENFORCED

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 30.-Special
to The Reporter.-Because of the
lynching and brutal murder of three
Negroes in this city four weeks ago,
hundreds of Negroes have left the
city and county, and the are leaving
adjacent counties as well. 1t Is be-
lieved that approximately five thou
sand Negroes have left the city and
county within the past three weeks.
The claim Is freely made that the
Negro people were not protected by
the laws of the state and county at
that lynching, and they are never
protected in these farming and re-
mote districts. This wholesale move
ment on the part of the Negro people
is not as the exodus of two years ago,
only a few of them are going North,
East and West, but a greater num-
ber are going to larger cities of the
South, or cities and towns where big
industries are in operation and day
labor is we'll paid Some of the most
substantial Negro families, 1t is be-
lieved, are arranging their affairs
and will be leaving Montgomery with
the next month. They made no ex-
PLANTATION; they simply get on the
trains and leave.
y One of the most surprising acts of
the Negro people is that they have,
as far as practical, refused to trade
with white business and a large num-
ber Of them have discontinued the
white paper, and will not permit them
in their homes. In Montgomery, the
delivery boys are all Colored, and
it is stated that a great number of
them have been obliged to get other

POLICE FORCED TO CHARGE CROWD.

New York. Oct. Mounted police
tonight charged a crowd of 300 SER
vice men who had massed in front
of the Lexington Theater to pre-
vent production of German opera up
on which Mayor Hylan had placed
an official ban.
Dispersed by the police the SER
vice men fastened to Times Square,
recruited nearly 1000 civilians and
returned to the theater. One sec
ton of of the line engaged in a
fight with the police, laying down a
barfage of bricks and stone.
Several Shots Fired.
In the melee several shots were
fired, but whether by police or the
indignant service men, spectators
could not determine.
Scores of windows were smashed
by stones and one marine suffered
a fractured of the hip.
A block of cement was hurled from
the roof of a building opposite the
theater. 1t struck the mud guard of
a passing automobile and rolled to
the sidewalk, almost striking two
police inspectors. Detectives, order
ed to the roof, arrested Joseph Smith
a sailor from the United States
steamship Imperator, on a charge
of disorderly conduct. A few minutes
later mounted policeman was struck
in the face by billiard ball.
