Russian Hordcs Clamor
To Get Into America

kONNO, Lithuania, Nov. G (By The
Associated Pressl From all parts Of
I.ithuana and adjacent Russian terri
tory thousands of persons have been
pouring into Kovno during the last few
weeks to await the opening tomorrow
of the department of the American
Consulate which is to wise passports.

Soviet Puts Soft Pedal
On Lenine Anniversar,
Seeks to Convince World New
Policy Is Established and
Win Place i'm League

RIGA, Nov. 6 (By The Associated
Press). - Modest celebrations Of the
fourth anniversary of the coup d'etat
of Nikolai Leninc, which took place No
vember z, 1917, began in Petrograd yes
tcrday, according to the Rosta News
Agency, and will continue to-day and
tomorrow throughout Russia.
Spectacular demonstrations, either in
Russia or among Communists abroad,
will be distasteful to the Moscow gov
sources here. Instead Of vast mani
festations, the waving OF red flags and
an outflow of world revolution propa-
ganda, which has characterized previ-
Gus anniversaries, the Moscow govern
ment is declared to be endeavoring to
demonstrate by means Of notes to for
eign powers, such as that recently sent
out by M. Tchitcherin, the Foreign Min
lister. concerning the recognition by
Russia OF her debts, and by the partial
reopenng of Russia to traders and
newspaper correspondents, that the
revolution is over and a new economic
policy is we'll under way
This campaign, falling or the eve Of
the Washington conference, is admitted
by the Moscow press as designed to in
fiuence the readmission of Russia to
the official councils of the great ma
tions.
General amnesty has been declared
for all private soldiers abroad who
fought against the Soviet government
The ninth session Of the Congress
of All-Russian Soviets has been called
for December 20. Changes resulting
from the new economic policy and for
eign relations will have a prominent
place on the agenda.

Break Ground for
18th Inf. Armory
HyIan Hcnchmen Circular
ize Crowd Despite Warn
ing Politics Is Barred
From Veterans Ceremony

Ground was broken yesterday after
room for the new armory of the 18th
Infantry, negro. New York National
Guard. which performed distinguished
service in tho World War. More than
10000 negro residents OF Harlem
thronged the site on the south side Of
I43d Street, east Of Lenox Avenue,
and saw the parade preceding the excr-
cises in which many organizations and
uniformed veterans took part.
Colonel Arthur Little, commander of
ceremonies, made it clear that the
gathering was to have no political sig
rihcance, saying that in keeping with
this idea he had turned the arrange
ments over to committee Of citizens.
The need for non -partisanship also was
touched upon by Colonel William Jay
Schiefeln. who said that, while he did
not know the reason for holding the
ceremonies at this time instead of on
Armistice Day or after election, no
regiment would permit itself to be
made the tail of a political kite
Despite these warnings supporters
of Mayor Hylan circulated in the
crowd copies of letter the Mayor
citation Of Head Walters. in which he
said he was "gratified to learn that
so many colored citizens arc support
ing me-"
In telling of his efforts to gain the
100000 appropriation for the armory
Colonel Little said he had to go through
the red tape of the Sinking Fund Com
mission and the Board Of Estimate and
Apportionment.
"I went after them until I became
known as the ghost of City Hail." he
sdded. "but I finally got what we
wanted"
Among those who should receive
credit for the armory. Colonel Little
said, were former Charles S. Whitman.
Brigadier General Daniel Appleton of
tho Armory Board, Colonel William
Hayward, who was in command of the
regiment in France, and Colonel Schief-
felin.

DEATH OF MRS. LIZZIE LOWERS

She was killed Jan. 4th, by her lit
tie son, four years DID, She was
sweeping in her yard, swept the trash
out at the gate, when the little boy
laid the gun on the palings ara took
his mothers life. There he lost the
best friend he had on earth. She was
a loving mother, loving, dear sis
ter and daughter. Father, mother and
brothers will miss her dear presence,
her tender love and care here, but she
has gone on before them to greet
them on the other shore to live in
peace and happiness forever more.
Our hearts are broken, sad and sor-
rowful as We weep over the loss of
one we can never see any more. She
can not come to see US any more, but
we can go to see her. Thank God, with
her it will be peace, happiness and
love forever more.
Dear sister has gone home to rest
in Jesus arms forever blest. She is
gone, but will never be forgotten. She
was good neighbor and loving
friend to all. She is gone forever and
ever more from earth, but we
can go to see her where we will never
part again. We all regret the loss of
our dear sister and daughter, but God
saw best to call her home to rest on
Canaan's happy shore forever and
ever more. She left husband and
two little children. | pray that God
way guide and lead them through life
so that when they come to die they
will be prepared to meet their dear
mother, to live in peace and happiness
forever.
| pray that Gods blessings may
rest upon them all, that they may be
saved as their dear mother was.
HER BROTHER ALBERT.

inc fine. with an enrolment of 50 and
some of the best interest ever mani
tested by any community. The Cross
roads community has always had the
name of being backward in the educa-
tional line, but they are now waking
up and setting a good example for
some other schools to follow. Our
rural schools are what the people
make them. If the patrons OF COM
munity Ego to sleep" on the job and
will not demand school, the people
of some other community will not get
a school for them. What the people
at Cross Roads need is to get the
house made larger, get longer term
next year and build up the school in
every way, for they have the boys and
girls, and they have the ambition, if
they get chance.
We wrote an article some time ago
stating the need in Incorporating this
town. We are glad to say that every
citizen has signed their approval to
such a move and same has been pre-
sented to the Legislature to become a
law. 1t would be good thing for the
town and an asset to Henderson coun-
ty.
Elder J. C. Lewis, of Stray Leaf,
handed us a dollar Saturday and ask

Gideon Massey has moved from
near your city to Route /, out of here.
The recital at the school house last
Thursday night was highly enjoyed
by all present.
A few of the citizens of the town
got together a few weeks ago and
drew bill, and presented it to the
legislature, asking that a special
school district be made here. From
what we have learned it was done I'M
known to majority of the more con-
cerned people, and Mr.. Fielder, our
Representative, learning the fact, re-
fused to go any further until he got
better sentiment of the people or
better understanding with all was
had. Tuesday night of this week has
been set as the time to take vote or
decide upon it, and as to how the peo-
pie will decide, we cannot say, at this
time but we believe it would have
been better to consult the people first
instead of keeping them in ignorance
of the fact, and as a great many of
the msay they knew nothing about
any such bill before the legislature,
until it was actually there. We would
like to have a good school here as is
had in so many other places Of less
Importance, but we believe that the
people should know of such thing
alike, as all have got to pay tax alike,
on the property they have. We may be
more or less concerned in this school
business, but we stand for the people
and equal justice to all.

SLAYER OF ARKANSANS
TAKEN IN TEXAS.

Wilson, Ark, Jan. 10, 1921.-Henry
Lowery, negro, slayer of 0 T. Craig,
prominent planter Of Nodena, and the
latter's daughter, Mrs. C. 0. Williams,
on December 25th, has been captured
by the police at FL Paso, Texas, and
will be returned here at once. Lowry
also seriously wounded Hugh and
Richard Craig, sons of o. I. Craig.
Richard Craig is still lingering near
death in a Memphis hospital.
Lowry was traced through letters
written back to negro friends. These
were intercepted and police in the
Texas city were notified to arrest
Lowry when he called for his mail in
answer to his letters.
The negro who received the letters
has been captured and is in Jail here.
He is declared to have admitted that
Lowery spent the night after the
murder at the home of a negro tenant
near the scene of the killing. This
was while several persons were
searching the entire section.
Officers have left to bring Lowry
back to Nodena. 1t is declared that
in event of his being placed in jail
at the small town that it will be only
a question of hours before he is
lynched. Feeling over the affair has
subsidized but little, and many say that
others implicated may be lynched a.
the same time.
Lowry is said to have been raised
at old Thurman, Hardin county, and
went to Arkansas only few years
ago.
1t was reported in Dednesday's pa
pers that the negro was taken off the
train at Sardis, Miss, by fifteen
masked men-supposedly to be lynch
ed, but no confirmation of the report
was received
