ton was first asked in Impotence
why Negroes were coming North, Mr..
Bridges replied that he felt that as
Americans they had a right to go

country. But" he continued, "they
really came because the manufac-
Lurers wanted them and could not do

As a sample of this speedy Jus

This speed is unprecedented in the
annals of the law Even the papers
Of Arkansas have expressed surprise
that the electrocutions should be held
so soon after the return of the SEN
fences. Expression are frequently
heard in Helena to the effect that

Social Worker Locates

Jesse o. Thomas, who was for a
number of years principal of Voor-
hees industrial school at Denmark,
S. c., and later supervisor of negro
economics for the state of New
York and who recently resigned the
latter to become field secretary of
the. National Urban league for So
cial service among negroes, has es-
tablished headquarters in this city.
His Office is located on the third
floor of the Odd Fellows building,
200 Auburn avenue. The national
Urban league has for its purpose
the lettering of the living, housing
and working conditions of colored
people, the increasing of the educa-
tional and mechanical efficiency of
negro wage earners, the reduction
of infant mortality, the promotion
of health and sanitation, the reduc-
ton of Juvenile and adult delin-
quency and the general uplift and
social betterment of the whole peo-
pie.

Sheriff Afflicted
With Get-Rich
Quick-Itis

Memphis, Nov. 27.-The sheriff of
this "burg" has little scheme all his
own for the enrichment of his laut-
eres. He is ambitious and right on
the job and afflicted with the get
rich-quick idea. His salary he con-
siders altogether inappropriate, and
must needs resort to some such
method as that which netted him $50
in Jail fees yesterday.
Two Dollars and Arrest.
He gets two dollars for each arrest
he makes. This naturally being
something of an incentive, he made it
practice of arresting groups of
Negroes, against whom no charge
could possibly be lodged but that
they had had the ill luck of getting
in the sheriff's way. Yesterday he
raided a social club where the col
ored members were enjoying a bit
Of Jazz music. They were hailed be-
fore Justice Mayer, fined and re-
leased, and the sheriff got the thirty.

ment.

The presence in Helena if KITCH-
EMS and his prisoners has kept feel
ing in Helena close to the breaking
point. The squad of deputies were
forced to keep ceaseless vigil over
the two cars in which the colored
men were placed, for fear lest the
crowds of threatening whites would
commit a massacre worse than that
of which these colored men are the
survivors. 1t is considered remark
able that Sheriff Kitchens men sue
ceeded in averting this disaster, as
they could easily have been overcome
by mere force of numbers.

Convicted Without Appeal.

Twelve men under death sentence
were dealt with summarilly by the
jury in Phillips County, being con-
victed in twelve minutes. ut was for
intervention on behalf of these men
that Monroe Trotter appealed to the
Gov. Brough and the N. A. A. c. 2.
to President Wilson. All of the men
are being literally railroaded to
prison, absolutely without expections
having been refused new trial. All
legal aid has been withheld from
them and being ignorant of the law
they are going to their doom without
even the knowledge as to the nature
of their sentences.

Colored Man Resigne ed.

From chance glimpses of the men
in the cars just before Sheriff Kitch-
ems departure, something of their
condition can be ascertained. They
were bound in two-s and from their
poseures of fixed rigidity, must have
been secured to the seats. Most of
them were in a pitifully dishevelled
condition, their whole expressions
conveying a sense of resignation and
HOPELESS bewilderment. They looked
out almost compassionately upon the
crowds clamoring around the cars
Here and there look of terror can
be seen fitting across some black
contenanec, but for the most part
in tn nature of stoicism
was predominant.
