I. CAROLINA TO PUNISH MEN
WHO LYNCHED MAN.
overnor Says Black Man Is Entitled
to Protection.

Raleigh, n. c., Dec. %. - The full
power of the state will be exerted to
apprehend and bring to justice the
men who lynched Powell Green,
eolored, in Frankington Saturday
night, Gov. Beckett declared in a
statement excoriating the members of
the mob which killed Green.
A coroner's jury yesterday failed to
identify anyone with the lynching
after examining six witnesses.
Testimony before the coroner deve-
loped the fact that the chief of police
Of Franklington was holding Green
when the negro shot R. NJ. Brown,
prominent Franklinton citizen, whose
murder led to the lynching.
"The whole state is shocked and
humiliated by this horrible outrage on
our laws" said Gov. Beckett. "Such
deeds put to open shame our boasted
white civilization and make the name
of southern chivalry by-word and a
rcproach. ~
Declaring that the man, above all
others, was entitled to the protection
of the law because he had no voice
in making it, Gov. Beckett said that
the mob denied to Green the right of
going before a white man S judge and
white mans jury to receive a white
man S protection.

Armory For COlored 18th
Regiment Is Very Remote.

One Thing for Aldermen-Elect to
Work On-Mayor Hylan and Board
of Estimate Seemingly Have For
gotten Their Promise to Cal. Hay
wards He'll Fighters.
The much heralded plan of the city
administration to build an armory
for the Fifteenth Infantry, the col
ored regiment that come back from
overseas to find whatever satisfaction
there may be in "leased" armory
awaiting them is now peacefully
slumbering in the office of Mayor
Hylan, it is believed.
Though the Armory Board last
May voted unanimously to make pro-
visions for such an armory and Bri-
gadier Generay Dyer approved of the
plan in that way putting the stamp
of endorsement of the military au-
thorities on the proposal, no concrete
action has as yet been taken.
The Armory oBard, of which the
Mayor, the Comptroller and the Presi-
dent of the Board of Aldermen, or a
majority as far as controlled votes
in the Board of Estimate is con-
cerned, are members, appointed a
subcommittee some six months ago
to look for a suitbale location for the
proposed armory. This sub-commit-
tee consisted of Deputy Comptroller
Hahlo, Brig. Gen. Dyer and the
Mayor The two first mentioned mem
bers of the committee submitted a
final report to the Mayor last Sep
tember for approval.
Nothing has since been heard of
the plan and Secretary Reinhardt of
the Armory Board and Deputy yCompt-
roller Hahlo refuse to be quoted -
without the sanction of the Mayor.
Unless civic bodies, which at that
time endorsed the plan, take action at
once and ask the Mayor what is to be
done, very little in the way of con-
crete action will be achieved, it is

emphasis on the economic situation,

tional Thript Week, DIR. j. E. Moor
land, secretary of the Colored Mems
Department of the International
Committee of the Y. NJ. C. A. announc-
ed.
"The outstanding economic need of
the colored people of America at the
present time is thoro appreciation of
the value of conservation DR.. Modr-
land said, "They are religious and
industrious and are learning how to
save. Their total savings thruout the
country amount to $25,000,00O IN
Liberty bonds, War, Savings Stamps
and other government securities puf-
chased by colored persons. 1t is not
more wages they are in need of, but
advice and help in using their savings
in the channels of commerce and AR
nance so as to realize the power of
money saved.
"I found in, Washington D. C. that
colored people had at least $10,000,000

4. Conservation of talent. Some
where back in an alley a little girl is
singing who has a voice which, if
trained, will bless the world with the
gladness of song. Unfortunately people
have not offered opportunities for the
growth and expression of this talent
among colored people, in music art,
literature or science, as have been
afforded to many races.
5. Conservation of. religious energy,
by translating it into action thru
service. Delegates to the congress
will be selected from professional men,
business men, leading ministers, men

couraging Christian stewardship"
