FOr"DeQth Dive"
Into Mississippi

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. Three
thousand people paid less than a
penny apiece to see Edward Powell,
a one-legged man, stage death
dive" from the Harahan bridge into
the Mississippi river 110 feet below
last Sunday afternoon. Powell drown
ed before aid could reach him.
According to reports Powell an
nounced- early last week that he
would make the dive on Sunday, but
would procede the performance with
collection which he intended to use
to buy himself an artificial limb. This
announcement appealed strongly to
the sympathies of the people and a
large multitude gathered to'see Pow
ell perform the feat.
The collection brought only $25.01.
but Powell was game and stated that
he was a man of his word, and went
through the exhibition which ended
fatally.

not been located, having fed from
town. Bond was set at amounts
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 each.
Other indictments are expected to fol-

other party, did unlawfully and with
force and arms together with per-
sons unknown to the grand jury do a
certain unlawful act of violence to
wit: take from William Branan, a
deputy sheriff, and from ]. L. Null

-er, for the purpose of mobbing and
lynching Glover, and did in violent
and tumultous manner, after taking
Glover in charge transport him across
the line between Monroe and BibO
counties for the purpose of lynching
and killing Glover"
The N. A. A. c. p. is carefully fol-
lowing these indictments to see If
trials and convictions follow, or if the
indictments are not to be pressed as
has been the custom in the few cases
where lynchers have been indictd in

doubtedly has come to your atten-
ton. To ward off confusion as to the
stand of the World War Veterans on
this question, ask that your organ
ization convey to colored. former ser
vice men the greetings of the veter-
ans and to inform them that they at
all times will be received into full
mmbership in the World War Veter-
ans and will be accorded the same
consideration shown other members

Northern Negroes feeling safe
from lynchers, are not doing their
utmost in the fight to secure passage
of the anti-lynching bill which will
put an end to lynching in this coun-
try" declared Congressman L. C. Dy-
er of Missouri, father of the anti
lynching bill, according to a letter
from Mr.. Dyer to the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People.
III all the Negroes of the North
would throw themselves vigorously in
to the fight, the bill would be passed
and death blow struck to the bar

well for you to issue a special appeal
to the colored people in all the states
where they have votes to get busy
and write letters to the Republican
United States Senators urging them
to pass the anti-lynching bill before
this session of the Senate adjourns."
Mr.. Dyer continued.

James Weldon Johnson, in refer
ring to Mr.. Dyers statement, said, II
want to back UP as strongly as 1 can
what Mr.. Dyer says, We have had
much loyal support from colored peo-
pie throughout the country, but It
has not been as great and united as
1t should be. We are facing a most
critical situation on the Dyer-Bill.
Having been reported out by the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee, it is up to
us to show the Senate that the bill
must be passed before this session of
the Senate adjourns. The Tariff
Bill was voted on, and carried on
Aug. 10. We must all work to have
the anti-lynching bill brought to a
vote BEFORE THE NOVEMBER E
LECTION. We must keep the wires
hot until the bill is passed"

Five newspaper men of varying ex-
periences sat down together to dis
cuss the question of giving the Am
erican reading public through the reg
ular channels, certain facts showing
the progress and forward strides of
the Negro race. Two of these men
were Negroes and the others were
friends of the race.
No group ever came together with
more hope and none was more sim
cere and earnest in its desire to rem
der real service. Although these men
have written continuously concerning
the race problem, not one of them
ever wrote an unkind or an embit-
tered line; and not one had ever
knowingly violated any of the ethical
standards of newspaper writing. And
yet, as these men unfolded their sew
eral experiences, it was plainly seen
that each had somehow run into the
same blind alley"-that the great
reading mass of America is not in
teterested in the Negro except as a
criminal.
Received Protests
One member of the group related
a conversation he had with the editor
of Southern daily paper in which
the editor said that he frequently

in his paper, because of his personal
interest in the welfare of the Negro
race. II invariably receive letters of
protest from our readers" said the
editor, when something of this sort
has appeared in our columns, so /

So far as / am personally concerned,

much of the news about successful
Negroes as they will stand, but in
the last analysis, they must be the
final judge"
Another of this group said that in
all of his experiences with reporters,
editors and desk men, covering a per.
iod of fourteen years, the average
Negroes known by them was three
and that in most cases these were
only vaguely known. He also found
that fe of these news gatherers knew
the local Negroes of standing in their
communities, except in rare instan.

Negro Is Not News.
Still another stated that he had
been reliably informed that one of
the moving picture concerns which
issues. at regular intervals, films OF
current news. has an unwritten law
in its Office that the Negro is not
news except in crime or in buffoonery
such as watermelon eating contests.
He further said that the records of
this office showed that when the Ne
gro had been featured in any other
way than Indicated above, frequently
exhibitors had themselves deleted
that part of the film because their
audiences were not interested.
At no time in the conference of
these five men was there one word
of denunciation uttered. They were,
rather, depressed, and one recalled
the utterance of DR.. Robert r. Motion,
Principal of Tuskegee Institute, who
said, in addressing group of white
newspaper men recently, that it was
an unfortunate situation in America
that a. Negro criminal had easier ac-
cess to the newspaper columns than
the presidents of any of the fifty or
more Negro banks.
