that took place at Convention Hall.
Fifth and l. Streets. Many prom
inent Southern Negroes. dressed es-
peeially for the occasion. mixed with
the crowds in the leading hotels ar
looked on, but did not participate in
the regular program. One of the
many games of money-making was
practiced on visiting Negroes, who
paid out hard-earned cash to have
their names put on welcoming COM
mittees and other high sounding
places.
One of the most interesting of the
scheme was made known by Henry
Lincoln Johnson, Republican national
committeeman from Georgia, who
came for the Inauguration and to ad-
dress a meeting of the National Ne
gro Press Association. Negroes have
been approached and asked to sub
scribe SIS to an autograph volume
which is to be presented to Pres
ident Harding. They were told that
President Harding and department
heads would give autographs for
publication. The assertion was made
that their names would be always
in the White House"
The biggest haul probably was
made on the Jubilee Inaugural Ball
which, it is said, was promoted by
one Negro and two white men. Tick
cts were sold for $1.65.
While many bought tickets, the jub-
lee ball, according to National COM
mitteeman Johnson, was entirely
unauthorized. Others connected with
the press association made similar
assertions. The plan Of the white
men promoting a ball for Negroes
was termed bunk"

CAUSE OF COLORED RACE EX'
POUNDED AT MEETING.

Providence, R. l., March 17.-All
the world men are pointing to-day
to the shame of America and that
shame has become a kissing in heI
ears and stencil IN her nostrils,'
was the assertion made by Robert
| w. Bagnall of New York at a mass
meeting held in Beneficent Congre-
gational Church under the auspices
of the Providence Branch Of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People.
The meeting was conducted by VIII
liam p. H. Freeman. Butler Wilson
of Boston also spoke briefly
Mr.. Bagnall recited the record OF
loyalty, fidelity and heroism made by
Colored' fighters in the United States
foces In the Civil, Spanish and
world war, the contributions made by
Negroes to the development of the
country and their value to the ma
ton as an economic force quoting
statistics to prove among other things
that in the South, where they COM
pose two-fifths Of the population
they effect three-fifths Of the pro
duction, and adding the lament
"And yet the white man calls us lazy
I'VE speak Of the savagery of prim.
tive peoples, but 1t has not passed
away. We have a Congo here in
America, and the men who do these
things are Of Anglo-Saxon ,tocks
so-called civilized beings.
Can we have these things In
America, believing that there is 6
just God above, and not entertain
terrible fear On our hearts? Ours
is a fight for full opportunity, full
liberty, full consideration. 1t is {
purpose pleasing to God, one We
ought to strive and struggle for-anC
it calls every man to its support
whatever his color"
