This Is the consensus OF opinion in

One fact revealed by the inspection

impossible.
Another Is that the committee is

Hope is being expressed on all sides

Bishop of Liberia
Brings Plea for Loan
Rt. Rev. w. H. Overs Fears Brit
ish Encroachment Unless We
Advance $50,0O0,O00.

New York, May 11.-Bringlng an
earnest plea from the people of Liberia
that the proposed loan of S5,OOO,O0O
from the United States to that country
be put through without further delay,
the Right Rev. Walter H. Overs. Epis-
copal bishop of the Missionary Prov
ince of Liberia, Africa, arrived here
Saturday.
'It is greatly TO be hoped that moth
ing will prevent the loan from being
granted speedily, as American influ-
ence at the present time is very essen
tial to the development of the Republic
of Liberia as an African government"
said Bishop Overs. "There are great
possibilities in Liberia, and if Ameri-
cans do not take advantage of them
the English will,' he continued. at
is to be feared Liberia will turn if this
proposed loan is not made
1T is intended TO use the whole sum
for the improvement of the republic
This means good roads, better schools
and enlarged and improved hospitals; ;
but good roads particularly since it is
through them that the hardwood and
rubber resources of the republic can
be made available and the coffee, CO.
Goa, tropical fruit and palm oil indus
tries renewed and improved"
Bishop Overs said that one of the
great advantages of the loan would be
that it would send to Liberia a group
of twenty or thirty American experts
in financial and industrial lines who
would administer the loan and assist
in the developments to which the loan
is to be applied

N. A. A. C. P. Writes
u. S. Senators on
kirvin, Texas, S,
Burning at Stake

James Weldon Johnson, secretary of
the National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People, 20 Fifth
avenue, New York, has written to the
members of the Senate judiciary com
mittee in Washington. in whose hands
the Dyer anti-lynching bill now rests.
Enclosed in his letter was a news
paper clipping containing the story of
the burning at stake of three colored
men in the public square of Kirvin,
Texas. The letter to the senators read
as follows:
Il am sure that you do not require
any further facts about lynching; that
you are convinced of its infamy and
want it abolished. However, cannot
refrain from sending you the enclosed
front page from the New York Times
of Sunday, May Z.
This fresh demonstration of inhu-
man cruelty and barbarism is added
emphasis to the menace of the mob to
all orderly government and the dire
need for quick and effective action.
The roasting alive of three human be-
ings, one after the other, in a civilized
country seems incredible. We our
selves would not believe it except for
the positive proof that it did occur.
81 wish also to call your specific at
tention to the short dispatch from
league, which gives more color to the
presumption of doubt of the guilt of
Mt least two of the men as appears in
the main part of the account"

WHITE WOMAN FIGHTS FOR
ESTATE OF RICH NEGRO

Mrs. Lena Fisher, a white woman of
this city, claiming to be the adopted
child of the late Basil Hill, Negro,
brought action in the County Court
to recover the Hill estate which Hill
had willed to certain of his personal
friends because he had no legal heirs.
Lawyer Blakemore represented the
Hill estate, and Lawyer Cary, assist
ed by Lawyer Hipp (white), were
counsel for Mrs. Fisher. Finding that
they had no legal grounds on which to
base their alleged adoption counsel for
Mrs. Fisher rushed to the District
Court in an action for specific per-
formance, at the same time seeking
to enjoin the probating of the will.
The judge listened patiently to argu-
ment on both sides and denying the
request of Mrs. Fisher on motion of
counsel for the estate, ruled her out
of court.

Negro nliteracy
North and South
Reduced Twenty Per Cent During
Last Decade.

Washington, d. c., May 19.-The
nublic schools of the South are max
ing progress in eliminating illiteracy
among the Negroes. The 1920 census
showed about 100000 less colored il
literates than that of 1910. In 1910
the percentage of colored illiteracy in
the South was 1873. In 1920 it had
dropped to 26.3. This leaves 1,T53,-
600 Negroes who cannot write.
Georgia has the greatest number OF
these illiterates-261,1 ,115, percentage
of 291. Louisiana, with 206,730. had
the highest percentage of illiteracy,
3S.5. Other states which still have
great masses of eolored illiterates are
Alabama, with 21O,69O, or 31.3 per
cent; Mississippi, with 205,S13, or 29.3
per cent, and South Carolina, with
131, ,422, or 29.3 per cent.
Every Southern state showed
marked reduction in illlteracy between
1910 and 1920. Every northern state
also showed a decrease. This would
indicate that the Negroes migrating
were mostly able to read, otherwise
they would have increased illiteracy
in the North. The percentage of IL
literacy among Northern Negroes is
much less than among Southern Ne
groes, being 90 per cent in the South
and s per cent in the North.
e.tn tn a1S elbows
marked increase in the proportion of
Negro children in school. For the
South as a whole slightly over half of
the Negro children are reported in
school, while in the North slightly over
go per cent are in school.

White Bank Backs
Down on Policy
Of Segregation
Vice President Changes Attitude
Another Victory for
N. A. A. G. P.

The United States Bank at Four
teenth and You streets, which carries
on deposit Il great deal of money be-
longing to the colored people of Wash
ington, was converted to n broader
policy yesterday when it attempted to
dictate to Mr.. ID. Carlos, the tenant in
one of its adjoining stores, what color
the persons must be whose shoes were
sllined in his shop.
Di Carlos, Il most gentlemanly and
fair-minded Italian, rents from the
United States Bank the adjoining
store and carries on the business of
shoemaking and shoe shining and who
employs several colored men. A col
ored man was recently refused Il shine
in the shop and ON investigation found
out that MIR. Zepp, vice president of
the bank, had told the proprietor of
the business that the shining of any
more shoes of colored persons would
cause him to lose possession of his
store.
Mr.. Shelby ]. Davidson, the ener-
getic executive secretary of the local
branch of the n. A. A. C. p. was
brought in the matter and he paid a
visit to Mr. Zepp. Mr.. Zepp was quite
open in his admission that he had
caused the order TO be issued. He was
not accustomed to seeing colored peo-
Dlp and wbita naopIa traatod ,I;r-a IL
together. As matter of fact he him
self was much chagrined to have TO
sit at times between cOlored people
when he had his shoes shined. And
as colored people were deprived of
many of their rights in Washington
and generally segregated, he surely
thought that the policy should obtain
in the bootblack shop. Mr.. Davidson,
however, gently but firmly and point
edly suggested that the many corored
patrons of the bank who carried heavy
accounts there might NOT agree with
him in his opinion nor favor his atti
tude.
A few hours later, after Mr.. Zepp
and the president of the bank had re-
ceived several telephone calls of pro-
test against such petty segregation and
discrimination, Mr.. Zepp underwent n
change of heart (or of mind) and call
ing up representative of the associa-
tion advised him that the order to Di
carlos has been rescinded and that
colored people as well as white might
have their shoes shined in the store,
and offered his apologies to the col
ored people of Washington for mis-
understanding them and their keen ap-
probation of their rights.
And, so was lion tamed.-Wash-
ington, d. C. American.
