but counsel for Maxwell prevailed
upon Governor Davis to decline the
request for his return to Georgia.

Before Louisville Audience
AS Was Advertised.

Louisville, KY, Jily 21-Marcus
Garvey, president and promoter of
the Negro Universal Improvement
Association, was billed to speak in
this city Tuesday night at Lyon Gar
den. The local committee made ex-
tensive preparations for the occasion.
Special advertisement was scattered
broadcast throughout the city. His
coming was announced from the pull
pits and through the newspapers.
Tuesday afternoon, a parade, head
ed by a brass band, moved over the
city to do honor to the coming noble
king. A picnic was arranged for the
afternoon, and about 500 persons
gathered on the ground. Many a.
mong the crowd asked where and
when Mr.. Garvey would arrive the
answer was passed around that he
would arrive about the time of the
opening of the night session, which
was satisfactory to those who came
early.
The night session was opened after
some delay and when other speakers
were introduced, some explanations
had to be made. 1t was then said he
missed his train, and might arrive
before the conclusion of the program
He did arrive, however, and on
schedule time. But for some reason
his stay was brief, Notwithstanding
he was billed to speak.
He came in at the Tenth st. depot,
got a taxi for Lyon Garden, did not
get out on his arrival and was driven
Immediately to the 7th st. depot,
where he took a G. & o. train.
Thus, about 700 people who had
gathered to hear him were disa-
pointed and why, no one assumed
the responsibility to say. The people
were not alone, even the local pro-
moters were equally as much at sea
Meanwhile, the Back to Africa"
movement got set back in Louis
vile, while 1t is doubtful whether
Mr.. Garvey ever can get right again.
