Stabs Betrayer
Fatally When
Forsaken
White Man Injured, Probably Fatally
Six Hours After Marriage.

Little Rock, Ark, July 5.-Wil-
liam Early, aged 80, proprietor of
a grocery store at 1922 East Ninth
street, was stabbed and probably
fatally wounded about $50 o'clock
last night by Matte Farwell, colored,
who escaped. Early, was married to
Mrs. Tyra b. Rainey, aged 48, at
2;30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Early told the police that she
and her husband were seated in front
of the store when the colored wo-
man approached and called Early to
the side of the store. A few words
esssed between them sha said, and
Early cried for help Mrs. Early
and young man ran to his side and
saw the woman running away.
Miss Farrell used an ice pick, or
some other sharp pointed instru-
ment, according to physicians at the
City hospital. He was stabbed twice
in his left breast, just above the
heart and a third time in his left up
per arm. He was removed to the
hospital in an ambulance of the
Cook-Drummond-Overma Company.
Mrs. Early told a Gazette reporter
last night that the woman appeared
at the store Monday afternoon
with a large butcher knife She said
that Miss Farrell threatened to kill
her, but Early drove her away. Last
night the woman returned and Mrs
Early said she believed she intended
to kill her.
Mrs. Early did not know the cause
of the trouble between her husband
and the woman, but said she be-
lieved the woman is mentally de-
ranged. Early was in too weak a
condition to talk last night, but whis-
pered that he did not wish to make
a statement
1t IS claimed, however, that Early
had been intimate with the Farrell
woman for several years before his
marriage, and that she is about to
become the mother of Early's child.
Her pleas to give the child an honor
able name having failed, it is claimed
that Miss Farrell became desperate
and stabbed her betrayer.

because he had not presented this

before this time. Mr.. Morris how
ever is lawyer of rare ability and
a close student of affairs and knew
just when even to the second for this
presentation to get the most favor
able consideration. The section that
concerns our group most is as follows:
"The laws of the state shall be ap-
plicable alike to all citizens, without
regard to race or color. and no citi-
zen shall be prohibited from doing
anything that any other other person
may do because or by reason of such
citizens color or race"

 Continent of Africa
By As.ocIated Pr.m

New York, August 2.-England. France, Belgium, Italy and every other white nation that "pre empted any portion of the African continent" are to be summarily ordered to get out of here declared Marcus Garvey. president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. in an address made in Madison Square Gar den tonight. II was the opening of the first convention of the society
 Garvey predicted that Asia would soon undertake the bloodest war of all times to match it's strength and civilization against that of Europe and in predicting this war, declared he saw in it the opportunity for the negro to strike for his heritage. The message of peace brought from the conference at Versailles by President Wilson, Lloyd George and Premier Ciemenceau meant nothing, he said, flor the handwriting on the wall pointed to the big war of Asia against Europe"
 Referring to the European war as having been waged to maintain free dom, democracy and justice, Garvey said two million negroes took part in it.
 Because we did not get that democ- racy, freedom and justice as result of that war" he continued, we shall organize 400 900, 900 negroes throughous the world and Haunt the banner Of
 democracy on the continent of Africa. Egypt, India and Ireland are striking for freedom. he declared, and negroes will do the same.

Lenine and Your Table Linen

w. C. Redfield in the Nations Business
 We are nearer to Russia than we stop to think. No man who wears T bnen. collar or shirt no woman who uses linen handkerchief or towel no home where there are linen tablecloths and napkins, but is related through these commonplace things to the eco- homie problem created by the absence of Russian flax from the markets of the world. The absence also of Rus sian calfskins is reflected in the price of leather and the cost of shoes. The bread we have today eaten reflects in its cost the absence of Russian wheat. The chemical industries feel seriously the lack of Russian platinum.
 The blockade against Russia should be removed for the soviet authorities are making that blockade prop to sustain their falling fortunes. They charge to the blockade all the ills which are the results of their own in competence and wrong doings With the removal of the blockade this re- source will be taken away. Little trade is likely to ensue for the Russian trans portation system has broken down. and save for such limited quantities of goods as may be here and there found at or near a seaport. there is no possi- hility Of transporting materials on any considerable scale.
