Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 10
Jack johnson, once heavyweight
champion of the world is ready to
re-enter the prize ring and threat
ems to make life miserable for
Harry Wills, the giant of New Or
leans, Jack Dempsey and Fulton.
Although still confined in the
Federal prison at Leavenworth,

once great fighter has greatly i'm
proved in strength and health and
claims he is a far better boxer than
he ever was before.
A letter was received from him
by AL Lippe in this city recently,
asking the recipient to become his
manager. In the letter johnson
derided the present crop Of heavy
weights and stated that he is anx-
ious to be matched with Wills, Full
ton, Dempsey and any Of the 9th
ers.
II am going to furnish one big
surprise when I get out and start

Bishops Council Plans For $5,000,000 Drive

Up In Congress

Washington, d. c., Feb. 20
Use Of the interest on the $1O,O0O,-

allies in financing adjusted COM
pensation for former service men

alton by congress. This was dis
closed today when the soldiers
bonus bill was favorably reported
by the senate finance commctee.
Senator McCumber, Republican,
North Dakota who will have charge
of the bill in the senate, explained
to the committee that by postpon-
ing the effective date Of all provi-
sions Of the bill until January l,
1923, the accumulated interest on
the foreign loans probably would
be sufficient to bear the cost Of
compensation.
Before reporting the bill the
e T.
committee eliminated all of the
tax provisions as approved by the
house. and adopted Senator Nc
Cumber's suggestion as to the
effective date.
Senators Gerry, Rhode Island,
and Jones Of New Mexico, Demo-
Gratis, were said to have been joined
by Senator LaFolette, Republican,
Wisconsin in an effort to make the
bill effective July l, but their mo-
ton was defeated. The committee
also rejected motion by Senator
Calder, Republican, New York, to
postpone operation on the bill un.

Sh ell Shock Soldier
Kills P Policeman and
Wounds Two

Washington, March Between
the hours of 8 and 8 o clock Sun
day morning the peace and
quietude Of one of the aristocratic
colored sections of this city was
disturbed. By one of the most de-
plorable tragedies in the history Of
Washington Twitty Linwood Har-.
ris, an ex-soldier shortly released
from the Walter Reed hospital for
shell-shock Mcame mentally unbal-
anced and killed one white police
man and one. colored man and Sc
riously wounded another.
After chase which lasted for
half an hour or more he was finally
cornered at his home, 942 West
minister street North West and in
stantly killed by three policemen
from the Eighth precinct district.
On the eve of the investigation
of the Walter Reed hospital this
comes as warning that the>affairs
of the Walter Reed hospital should
be thoroughly Investigated. This
soldier should never have been re-
leased from the hospital as he has
been acting peculiarly fer several
days. We find after investigation
that a great number Of colored sol
diers are being released on the com
munity not being sufficiently cured
of their ailment. Why this whole
sale release Of men who should have
every protection possible should be
thoroughly investigated, because it
is not only a menace to the commu-
nifty but unfair to the noble boys
who sacrifice their health on the
battlefelds of France so that the
race might have a place in the sun.

Governor Oppose

(By The Associated Negro Press
Raleigh, N. Car, March 3.-Thg
announcement Of Governor Cam
eron Morrison's opposition to the
operations Of the Ku Klux Khan in
North Carolina brought consider
able support in his position.
A number Of the state s leading
newspapers are standing behind the
governor and citizens Of high stand
ing have informed him Of their
views. The thing that aroused the
governor was the use of the Ku
Klux Klan as a name with the ap-
piled meaning attributed to the old
order, and the further fact that
the governor. is convinced that no
order is justified in undertaking
law enforcement in the state by
secret means.
Governor Morrison stated def
nitely that he had never received
an invitation to join the Ku Klux
,Klan, and further stated, just as
definitely that he would not enter
tain such an invitation. The law
enforcement idea caused the gov
ernor to balk.
The governor has already been
assured by some of the state S wis
est citizens that the operation Of
the Ku Klux Klan in North Caro-
lima is fraught with gravest dan
ger to the continued peaceable rela-
ton between the races. The Ne
groes Of the state, the governor has
been informed, are seriously dis
turbed by the new organization.
