They were convicted for the muir

them were acquitted. The murder of
Rose and Joel Hoys, a cigar clerk,
was the elimination of a back to

department of agriculture The area
under cultivation was placed at l.

the cotton market and government
restrictions affecting planting were
cited as the chief influences in re
ducing acreage.

the most warmly debated by the
council While the question was laid
aside for the present it was earnestly
presented as one of "the more vital
questions now confronting Methodism
throughout the world"
Onthe other hand, Fraternal Union
was advocated, and the secrtary of
the council, Bishop ]. Albert of Phila-

JACK JOHNSON NOW
Spends HIS TINE
LIKE MILLIONAIRE
Especial To The Tribune)

LEAVENWORTH, Kans, June 30
II you have any business with Jack
Johnson go to Leavenworth Yes,
but do not make the mistake of going
to the Federal Prison loking for him.
or you will be doomed to disappoint-
ment. Johnson is-and he amt. That
is, he is in prison only as far as the
record book goes, but not in reality,
oh no.
Upon taking charge of the Federal
prison recently by the resignation Of
the former warden, Mr. Biddle who
believes in justice towards all regard
less of color decided to make different
arrangements relative to the welfare
of Johnson. Accordingly he had him
moved outside the walls and placed in
the Warden's residence where he now
resides and looks after the physical
condition of the warden and his son.
Jack also drives big high powered
car owned by the warden and can be
seen from time to time speeding alone
the out roads and alone.
AT the time the writer called for
Johnson he was informed that he
was not in and would not be in until
late evening as he had gone fishing,
taking the warden's son along for
company. Not to be out done the
correspondent decidid TO go joy rid
ing until Johnson put in his appear
ance. Driving away from Leaven-
worth about thirty miles he discover
ed Johnson busily engaged in fishing
with seemingly not a care in the
world.
| Between correspondent and fishing
he divided thirty minutes and then
packed up and paced the way to
Leavenworth and home-for the next
IA days.
New Warden, Prince of Good Fellows
Warden Biddle is making hit with
most of the unfortunates who are con-
fined in the Federal prison and in
many instances he has made the bur-
den lighter by seeking out the deserv-
ing ones and bestowing upon them
privileges and liberties in keeping
with his humanitarian ideals. So far
not a single one has abused these
special favors. 1t would seem that
at least those who are unfortunate
enough to come to this house of "Mis-
sing Men" can for once shake that
feeling that has so tenaciously over
shadowed them-like sentinels on
guard" Abandon all hope We who
enter here"

HARDING REFUSES
TO CONSIDER CASE
OF COLORED man

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Washington, d. c., June 30.-Presi-
dent Harding has given assuransce to
visitors who have discussed the mat
ter of his attitude on racial matters,
that he will not fail" the colored
people of America.
The reaction from recent develop
ments and trends of policy, has Gre
ated a stir among voters and citizens
generally that is almost equal to an
election.
The dying embers OF Tuls's massa-
ere, together with the labor situation
and the gloomy news of justice, have
the people in sorry frame of mind.
1t is well then that the Executive
head of the government, comes for
ward with a note of encouragement.
The question, however, is on the def
milton of the term fail"
President Harding may seriously be
of the opinion that he has not failed,
provided he makes a certain line of
appointments, and pursues the policy
of experimenting with traditions of
the south, on the Negro question.
The colored American Of all Sec
tions are inclined in two directions
First, there is growing minority
that feels that the Republican party
merely burrow into the mud to wait
for rain, and apparently continue to
live as long as earth is wet The Ne
groes locate them by exploring the
mud with their bare feet

WHITES OUT VOTE
COLORED IN RECENT
MUNICIPAL ELECTION

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Jacksonville. Fla. June 3O.-On the
face of the returns from the rect MT
municipal election the efforts Of
Negroes to gain a hand in the city
government had apparently failed.
Two Colored men were candidates for
council-at-large, while four others
sought election to the council in their
respective wards. The Colored can
didates made a good showing in
two wards, early returns indicated,
but had not mustered enough votes
to offset the heavy white vote.
Ordinarily, the election would have
been a more or less formality, as
democratic candidates usually have
no OPPOSITION. However, in response
to an admonition by the Democratic
committee, that the presence of Ne
groes in the city government would
be menace, the white voters truh-
ed out in large numbers. The women
registered an unusually heavy vote
according to early indications 1t
was not an uncommon sight to see an
automobile containing the entire
family of qualified voters drive up
to the various places of balloting The
election was without disorder. Two
hundred special deputies We're on
