MODS WILL FINALLY
RUIN THE SOUTH
BY N. B. Dodson.

NEW YORK CITY, Dec. g.
While James Weldon Johnson, secre-
tary OF the National Association for
the Advancement OF Colored People,
is at Washington working to have the
United States Senate enact the Dyer
Anti-Lynching bill into law, DR..
James E. Shepard, president of the
National Training School at Durham,
n. C., is making direct appeal to the
South to put an end to mob violence.
The text of DR.. Shepard's address
TO the South in part, follows:
"To the People OF the South:
THE ravening mobs of Georgia and
Texas-The closing of the door OF
conscience in the breasts of those in
authority-the damning of the stream
of mercy that should flow always and
ever in the life OF every civilized man
in this Christian country, makes the
black man again knock at the door OF
a white mans justice. There is no
where else for the southern Negro to
90. How futile 10 look to any other
part of the country to superimpose a
government upon the actions OF the
South when it has its own self-imposed
laws.
IF men who make solemn oath TO
support the laws which they in their
sovereign power have written, will not
enforce them, how can we expect any
et'eo~ inference 10 exercise any con-
trol2 And SO it is to the conscience
OF the South we appeal once again.
when a black man murders or
outrages, he serves no notice on the
Iasdorc ri his rare They know moth
ing of it until the crime IS done and
he has fallen into the hands OF his
white sheriffs and governors. And
once there by every condition OF
chyalry the Negro is entitled to the
white mans protection. The law
which invests the guiltiest with the
presumption OF innocence IS the Anglo
Saxons law.
"Lynching must be stopped in the
South and by southern white people.
If it could be stopped by anybody
else on Gods great earth the South
would lose the moral victory to which
a gain so great would entitle our peo-
pie. This is our sectional sin Tor
which there IS no yicarious atonement
The South must stop its mob crimes
or the mob will ruin the South
Our civilization stands impeached
in the courts Of all the civilized world.
Grimes which long since have been
too horrible even for the heart OF Cen
trail Africa, are with impunty COM
mitted by thousands who claim The
blessings of the most orthodox Chris
tanity and the laws oil the purest
blooded patriotism

ONLY SEATS IN

That open and undisguised race dis
elimination exists in certain Loop
theatres is charged by Allen Strong,
1910 Kimbark Ave; Louis Anthony,
1899 Champlain Ave, and Prince Ken
nedv. $50 East 44th St, who are to in
stitute proceedings this week against
the Adams Theatre, a moving, picture
house located on Adams St, between
State St. and Wabash Ave.
Seats Only Down Front
According to the story told by the
men, they applied at the theatre for
tickets Monday afternoon. They were
told that there were no seats available
except down in front.
Nevertheless two of them entered
the theatre and found several vacant
seats in other places of the house.
They were restrained from taking these
seats, however, and told that they
would be compelled to occupy the
seats pointed out.
One of the men then asked for a
refund of his admission price, and was
given it.
The third man applied at the ticket
office for a ticket carrying package
He was told that no persons were al
lowed to enter the theatre carrying
packages.
Gets Rid of Package
He went away and returned later
without the package, and like the
other men, was told that the only
seats available to him were down in
front" When they protested at the
ticket office that other seats were va
cant, they were told that the theatre
doesn't cater to colored people any
way, and they had to take those seats
or none at all" They were told the
same thing by one of the ushers.

IN Ne " YORK

NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 1.-The
sudden financial collapse of the Man
haitian Piggly-Wiggly Corporation a
few days ago has brought financial ruin
to hundreds of colored citizens of Har-
lem who owned thousands OF dollars
worth of stock in the concern.
Not long when the corporation ap
parently foresaw the possibility of fail
ure staff OF colored stock-salesmen
was recruited for the purpose of I'M
loading the practically worthless Sc
curities on members of the colored race
who were easily nisled because of the
supposed success of the pretentiousIy
established stores.
Had AZ Stores
The corporation operated forty-two
self-service stores but the prices asked
for commodities we're very low, per-
haps because of the necessity of fight
ing competition.
The petition in bankruptcy was in
voluntarily filed by three creditors, with
claims aggregating $4,l00.
The liabilities were estimated at ST.
100000 and assets at $350,000. Judge
Augustus n. Hand appointed Percival
Wilds. 2 Rector St, receiver, under a
bond of $25,0OO
The petitioning creditors charged
preferential payments to certain cred
itors after insolvency. Attorneys Tor
the company ascribed its financial dif-
fculties to the opening of too many
stores in too short space OF time
and the pressure of creditors
Only New Workers Hit

haitian group Of twcnty-one stores op-
Grated under subsidiary management

ely stores operated all over the coun-
try.
At the time OF the alleged bank
ruptcy twenty-one stores were being
operated by the Manhattan Company,
in addition to some twenty-one loca-
tons upstate and in nearby States,
under the direction of subsidiary COM
panies. Percival Wilds, the receiver,
of Rector St, whose bond was fixed
at SIS 900 by Judge A. n. Hand, will
take immediate possession OF the stores
in which customers enter through a
turnstile and pass through alleys with
basket, which they are expected to
/ I'LL with groceries taken from the
shelves. Mr.. Wilds has had previous
experience in chain store receiver
ships.
James w. Elliott, the master spirit
of the promotion, had no comment TO
make on the allegation of bankruptcy
A telephone call to his home brought
the information that he was i'll and
under a physicians care and would
answer no questions.
Vincent L. Leibell of Phillips. Ma
honey & Lebell, 81 Chambers St, at
torneys for the Manhattan corporation
commented on the situation, saying:
The financial difficulties OF the COM
pany is due to their having over.

many stores in too short a space Of
time. Because OF pressure OF the cred
itors and the failure of certain hnan

Five Arrests Made ON industrial
Court Warrants.
In Three Cases Men Are
Charged With Picketing.

Thomas Personette, general chair
man of the carmen's organization on
the Santa Fe lines, was arrested at
Kansas City, Kan, late Friday after
violation of the industrial court act.
1t is alleged that Personette was
actively engaged in fostering the strike
at the Santa Fe shops in Ottawa,
lowing his arrest. Warrants have
been issued for the arrest of two or
three other strike leaders at that place,

voluntarily at the Court of Topeka this
morning at 9 O'Clock.
The marshal of the court, to whom
warrants for the arrest of the men
had been delivered Friday, had not
found them up to that time. He ap-
peared at the court and read the war
rant to the union men.
They were accompanied by their at
torney, James A. Troutman- The two
union men listened to the reading of
the warrants and waived preliminary
examination. They offered bond of
$500 each for their appearance to an
swer to the charge of violating the
state anti-picketing law, on the first
day of the September term of the
Shawnee county district court The
September term of the court will con-
vene on September 5.
The mems bond was signed by Phil
lip Heery.
Following the release of the men on
bond, Troutman stated that If there
are more warrants to be served, his
office should be notified and he will
produce the men for their service

Further Arrests of Union
Officials Expected Soon.
Troops May Be Called to Pro-
tect Kansas Workers.

Tense situations in the railroad shop
strike developed today at Parsons and
Pittsburg- Governor Allen and Ad-
jutant General Martin have been in
conference during the. day regarding
methods of meeting problems in the
two towns. In the meantime mem
bers of the industrial court prepared
to spread drag nets and indicated
further arrest of union officials and
men charged with pick citing.
Ina bility of Labette county officials
to secure an adequate number of
deputy sheriffs magnified prospects of
state Intervention. at Parsons Of
ficials of the Katy railroad have indi-
Gated that they propose to send strike
breakers into the Parsons shops as
soon as provision can be made for
proper protection of workers. 1t is
likely that the test at Parsons will
come in few dayS-possibly Monday.
Almost similar conditions exist at
Pittsburg where the Kansas City
Southern is trying to operate its
shops. Union walk outs in both shops
have been almost solid so far as strik
ing craftsmen are concerned.
Troops May Be Called.
State officials today refused fatty
to make statements regarding use of
national guardsmen to patrol shop dis
tricts in the two southeastern Kansas
towns. There is a belief, tho, that

If guardsmen are called 1t Is prob

other than Topeka. All state officials
with authority in the matter. however,
decline to discuss methods which may

Governor Allen is keeping in close

He conferred with Judge McDermott
OF the industrial court this morning
and later called General Martin to his
office.

THE TOPEKA PLAYERS
Other Plans Must Be Devised for
Helping the Ball Club.

Definite steps to keep Topeka in the
Southwestern league must bo taken at
once. The team is in bad shape
financially. and some means of rais-
ing additional funds is necessary In
order to prevent a transfer OF the
franchise to some other city.
The last booster day effort gave the
club something over $4,000, which
was sufficient to square up the payroll
due the middle Of June. Since that
time, however, the attendance has
been distressingly weak, and there
isn't enough money in the Golfers 10
satisfy the contract demanda of the
players up TO July l. And another
pay day is coming along in Just one
week.
II the usual Saturday and Sunday
crowds turn out today and tomorrow,
the situation will be relieved to some
extent, but a special stunt of SONS
kind next week is absolutely neces-
sary If the team is to be kept together
as a Topeka organization. The meme
bers of the team are treating the
situation kindly. but If their checks
are not forthcoming soon there ID
bound to be a strike that will hardly
come under the jurisdiction OF the in
duEtrfaI court.
