hood, which, entering the soul of the
submerged millions of the world, have
made self-determination a principle for
which it is sweet to die and without
which it is vain to live.
1t is therefore increasingly evident
that however much the self-appointed
custodlans of world affairs feel them
selves designated to lead the way into
some imaginary Canaan, the people
themselves have made it plain and will
make it still palmer one of these days
not far distant, that they have not re-
Iinquished control of their mind and
conscience and that they bluntly re-
fuse TO grant a mandate to any one,
except to our Lord and Saviour, whose
rightful supremacy none will question.

GARAGE ROW LETS NEGROES INTO
COLONY OF SURGEONS
DR.. Julius Schlein of Brooklyn Prevented by
Neighbors Frob Building Runway Across
Courtyard, Offers His Home for Sale
to Negroes.

DR.. Julius Schlein of 3S2 Union
street, Brooklyn, was prevented recent
ly from constructing driveway
through his courtyard to connect ga
rage that had been built into the base
ment with the roadway in front of the
house. Court actions and word wars
figured in the interference by other
property owners along the block, the
argument being that it was one of the
most exclusive in the neighborhood ana
that located on it were the homes of
some of Brooklyns leading physicians
and surgeons. With sentiment against
him, DIR. Schlein has attacked the mat
ter from a new angle. He has adver-
tised his home for sale to Negroes.
The advertisement appeared Friday
in Brooklyn newspapers, and already
there have been prospective purchasers
on the ground to look over the Schlelh
home The physician intends to move
to n house at Clinton and President
streets, few blocks away.
AS n result of the threatened in
vasion of the block by Negroes, other
property owners there, including al
most n dozen physicians, made known
Yesterday the reasons why they OBJ
iected to DIR. Schlein's private road
way and basement garage. They eN-
plained that so far back as 1851 the
legislature ruled that the old Bergen
estate on which the property is To-
Gated should be cut up so the city
should own permanently all the ground
included in the front courtyards. They
based their fight against the automo-
bile driveway upon this act and We're
successful in preventing the physician
from making use of the garage. DIR.
Schlein. however, declared his neigh
bors were trying to get rid of him.
DIR. Sylvester J. Mcnamara of 369
Union street said yesterday that no
one on the block cared where DIR.
Schlein lived.
1--WE are concerned only with pre-
serving law and order and preventing
trespass upon restricted city proper
ty," he said. Every step we have
taken has been legal and without per-
sonal malice. If. DR.. Schlein may re-
grade his courtyard and build run
way on it, there is no reason why
other owners in this section may not
dig down and build up anything they
wish. 1t is to preserve the courtyards
and the appearance of the street as

VIRGINIA NEGRO BOYS RAISE
GOOD FARM CROPS.

Hampton, Va.-Members of the Vir-
ginia Negro Farm Makers Clubs, who
have been working under the super
vision of colored county agents, will
have on display at the State Fair about
1000 exhibits in a special building, 40
by % feet. Last year only one corner
of building was occupied by similar
exhibits.
Corn has been most successfully and
profltably grown by colored boys,
ranging from 10 to II years of age.
Some twenty-five Virginia counties
will be represented.
There will also be exhibits OF col
ored boys work in growing soy beans,
potatoes and peanuts. Photographs
will illustrate the wide range of club
work among colored boys.
The story of Joe Williams of EN-
poria, Va, who produced 70A bushels
of corn on single acre, shows the
growing interest of colored boys in
modern scientific farming. The work
among colored boys is conducted as Il
part of the regular Virginia club work

OFFER $500 FOR CONVICTION
OF FLORIDA LYNcHERS.

The National Association for the

Fifth Avenue, New York, today an
nounced the offer of a $500 reward for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of any person or persons
guilty of lynching four Negroes at
MacClenny, Florida, yesterday. A
statement signed by James Weldon
Johnson, Acting Secretary of the Asso-
citation, says:
"The National Association for the
advancement of Colored People, pur-
suant to it's policy of fighting mob vio-
lence offers II reward of $500 payable
upon conviction of any one of til,
lynchers at MacCIenny, Florida, to the
person giving the information leading
TO the arrest.

Wilmington, Del, Oct S-Mrs. Alice
Dunbar Nelson, widow of the late Paul
Laurence Dunbar, famous colOred poet,
was unceremoniously discharged from
her position as teacher in the public
schools of this city by the Democratic
board for having attended the social
justice pilgrimage to Marion Ohio,
October 1. Mrs. Nelson, who was
among the colored delegation from the
East that went to Harding's home,
joining the thousands of other women
assembling there for the purpose of
social welfare, had been warned by her
principal that if she attended this
meeting she would be dismissed.
When she returned and presented
herself at the-schoot TO take up hen
duties, she was informed that her
services were no longer needed. She
appealed to DIR. Conwell Banton, men,
ber of the board, and was informed
that the action of the principal would
be sustained by the board.

When asked about the advertise
ment for Negro buyers which Or.
Schlein has caused to be published,
Dr. Mcnamara said:
"To the persons imbued with the
proper human qualities the color of
ones skin is of secondary considera-
ton"
DR.. John J. O'Reilly, whose home
at 4O5 Union street is directly across
the street from that of DIR. Schlein,
said that as for the prospective entry
of the Negro buyers he would rather
have law abiding Negroes on the block

the law.

CHAIRMAN REPUBLICAN STATE
COMMITTEE DETERMINED TO
LINE UP LARGE MAJORITY
VOTE IN COLORADO FOR
NATIONAL AND STATE
CANDIDATES.

Chairman Rush L. Holland of the
Republican State Central Committee,
is determined to unite his forces for
sweeping Republican victory on Tues
day, November 2nd. An attorney-at-
law by profession, Mr.. Holland goes
minutely into the things that make for
success in his party, as he does in
looking after the interests of client.
Colorado Springs is proud of him and
so are we of Denver. Knowing his
qualifications for leadership. That
Chairman Holland has demonstrated
his ability to lead our committee goes
without saying, as not only was he en-
dorsed and elected for a second term
of office, but the hearty support given
him by the members of the party Is
meritorious of his courtesy, genial dis
position and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS action,
which can be certified by Republicans
throughout the state.
A hetter man for the position could
not he found, is the opinion of The
Colorado Statesman, and the same can
be said of his secretary and general
staff. who are strict in their attention
TO the business of the committee and
loyal to the Republican party that will
restore this nation to peace, prosperity
and plenty.
We wish a great success to attend
his efforts.

HAITIAN INVASION CALLED
VIOLATION OF CONSTITUTION.
(By Moorfield Storey, ex-President OF
(American Bar Association.)

(By Moorfield Storey, ex-President of
(American Bar Association.)
Moorfield Storey of Boston, ex-
president of the American Bar Asso-
citation and president of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, today authorized the
following statement on Haiti, which
was given out at the office of the Ad-
vancement Association, 20 Fifth Ave
nue., New York.
General Lejeune's report on the
conduct of United States Marine in
Haiti only emphasizes the fact that
there has been no specific denial of the
serious charges made against the Am
erican occupation of that island.
"The charges, made by Mr.. James
Weldon Johnson, acting secretary of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, and by
Mr.. Herbert j. Seligmann, were to the
effect that some 5000 Haitians had
been killed by marines; that men and
women had been tortured; that undue
pressure had been exerted upon the
President of Haiti and other officers,
in behalf of an American banking in
stitution; and that a rigid censorship
was excluding the facts about the Hal
tan situation from the United States.
I'm answer to these specific charges
it is hardly sufficient to assert that
some Haitians are grateful for what
has been done and that the American
adventure in Haiti has been beneficent.
"Our whole Intervention in Haiti is
in violation of the principles we pro-
fess and of our Constitution, and what
ever the Haitians have done has been
obtained by force. We have made war
on Haiti without authority from Con-
gress."

500 NEGROES ARE HOMELESS BY

Pine Bluff, Ark, Oct 12-Nearly
800 Negroes were homeless tonight as
a result of fire this afternoon which
swept over eight blocks of n Negro ris-
idence district and for time threat
ened the business district less tllan IL
mile away. Only the dying out of "a
brisk southeast wind and entrenchment
tactics employed by firemen checked
the flames. Nearly 100 homes were de-
stroyed and the total loss was esti-
mated at from 100000 to $3O0,0OO So
far as could be learned there were no
casualties. The fire was declared to
be under control at 4 80 p. m. Only
few scattered houses in an area of
more than eight blocks were standing.
