$4,000 DAMAGE SUIT
SETTLED OUT OF Court
FOR SMALL sum OF SIO
(Preston News Service

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 21-The
mother of little Arthur Mack aged
8 years, who was run over by L. H.
Hodges automobile last November,
must have needed Christmas money
very badly when she is alleged to
have settled a $4,000 damage suit
out of court for the paltry sum of $40.
Hodge, of Scrivens, Ca, was on his
way to Dayton, Ga on business, it is
alleged, when he ran over the small
lad at curve ON the state highway
near here. He went to the magis-
trate's office and put up 500 forfeit
for his appearance at the hearing and
was released to continue his journey.
The accident occurred on November
IA.
At the hearing last Tuesday after
noon before Justice of the Peace
Greenberg, Mr.. Hodge was exonerated
on the charge of careless driving. 1t
was stated that the mother of the boy
had entered civil suit for $4,000 dam
ages against Hodge. The matter was
said to have been settled out of court
when Hodge and his attorneys told
the woman how much trouble it would
be to conduct a case of this kind and
the enormous cost involved, and that
she would have to spend lot of mon
ey for competent lawyers. who would
finally get most or practically all Of
the money if she won the case. So
the best thing for her to do would
be to settle the case out of court and
get it without trouble and notoriety.
So the woman said that $40 would
suit her since it would put an end
to all the bother and trouble.

ANOTHER MINISTER
IN new YORK COMES
OUT FOR KLANISM
Especial to The Tribunel

NEW YORK, Dec. 21-Another New
York minister of the Gospel has come
out for the khan in the person of the
Rev. DR.. New Dwight Hills, pastor of
Plymouth Congregational Church, of
Brooklyn. Dr.. Hills, speaking last
night on the khan, attacked the enc
mics of the organization and declared
that the principles for which the khan
stood should be defended by every
white American who is not under the
domination of the Church of Rome.
He declared that the khan had not
been convicted of the many crimes
charged against it, and ignored the diff
ficulty of fastening upon a secret or
ganization' whose membership is not
known, responsibility for crimes COM
mitted under the cover of night and
behind the shield of mask and sheet.
"Multitudes of criminal charges
have been brought against the Ku
Klux Klan but thus far our best news
papers in running down these charges
have not found anywhere north of the
Mason and Dixons line any conclusive
proofs of these alleged crimes, nor ap-
parently has there been one crime by
the Ku Klux Klan established before
a court of law"
The crimes committed by the Ku
Klux Klan south of the Mason Dixon
line apparently had no interest for
this latest addition of the Christian
clergy to the Ku Klux.

suit of Mayor Hylan's opposition to
the khan, ten thousand Middle West

BARNUM IS GIVEN
A Light SENTENCE
BY S. c. GOVERNOR
preston News service)

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 21-Gov-
ernor Harvey last Friday afternoon
commuted the death sentence of David
Barnum of Orangeburg, to seven
years Imprisonment and fifteen min
utes later suspended this later SEN
tence, during good behavior, the Gov
ernor to solely determine the com
pliance or noncompliance" with the
good behavior clause.
Barnum was convicted at Orange
county court about four years ago, of
criminal assault on a youthful men,
Der of his race and was sentenced to
death. Barnum appealed, and, due to
a change in the office force in Orange
burg county, the solicitor becoming a
congressman and Barnum's lawyer
the solicitor, the case was lost sight
of and Barnum remained in the state
penitentiary without any definite
status, except being under sentence of
death with no date for execution
Many appeals have been made to
Governor Harvey in behalf of Barnum,
the consensus of opinion being that
he was not guilty OF the crime charg-
ed, and that his conviction was due
largely to the excitement engendered
by the unnaturalness of the supposed
offense The governor finally decid-
ed on clemency and so worded his pa
pers that he thinks misbehavior on
the part of Barnum in the future will
cause him to serve the remaining
three years of his sentence

REPRESENTATION TO
BE GIVEN COLORED
PEOPLE ON JURIES

In the case of the State of Arizona
against w. T. West, taken up in the
Superior Court on Wednesday for
trial, Judge Stanford held that the en-
tire panel Of the jury serving during
the present year was illegal because
the names Of all colored people were
stricken from the list of jurors by the
Board of Supervisors before same were
transmitted to the Clerk.
When the case was called for trial
and for the swearing the jury Attor-
ney, Spencer B. Pugh, attorney for
West, filed challenge to the array
upon the ground that the statutes
had not been complied with last jan
uary when the jury was drawn, in
that the names were not regularly
chosen
Upon the hearing of the plea, the
secretary of the Board of Supervisors
was called to the stand and admitted
that before sending the list to the
Clerk all names of colored people were
stricken out, as was the custom.
Attorney Pugh then refused to &c
further with the case and submitted
that the panel was illegally drawn, and
after presentation of legal authori
ties was sustained and upheld. This
had the effect of invalidating the
entire panel as to any case where it
is objected to. The result will be
that hereafter all citizens of the coun-
ty will be placed ON the panel of ju.
rors in their regular order in accord
ance with the constitution and laws
of the United States and of Arizona.

BAPTISTS UNITED
UNDER LEADERSHIP
OF |. X. WILLIAMS
Especial to The Tribune)

ST LOUIS, Mo.-Dr. Lacey Kirk
Williams, for the last six years pas
FOR of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago,
Illinois, was elected president of the
National Baptist Convention, incorpor-
ated, succeeding the late DR. E G. Nor
ris. The Texas delegation stood like
sdamant for DIR. Williams, who was
educated in that state and pastored
three of the leading churches in the
Lone Star commonwealth prior to as
Stunning charge of his Chicago church.
In a brilliant but stubborn battle,
featured by all the finesse of &C.
clesiastical politics, DR. Williams won
against the field, the other candidates,
Rev. Parks of Philadelphia, Rev Mo-
ses of New York and Rev. Bryant of
Georgia, having combined their fore
es, Iallying under the banner of Rev.
Parks, former vice president of the
organization. All of the old officers,
including Secretary r. B. Hudson,
were reelected, except DR.. Parks,
Rev. Taylor of Louisiana capturing his
place. The final vote was SO to 769.
Unification of the two conventions
vas adopted unanimously, proving to
be an outstanding sentiment in the
assembly Hundreds of ministers who
have been allied with the Boyd fac
tion, attended the st. Louis conven-
tion and returned to the fold
The choice of DR.. Williams after
the conflict was over seemed to be
an immensely popular one. Ministers
freely predicted progressive era in
the affairs Of the largest religious
group in the race.
DIR. Williams is recognized as one
of the worlds leaders in the religious
realm, and is both an organizer,
preacher, planner and born leader of
man.
1t is doubtful if the Baptist hosts
could nave made a wiser or better Sc
lection.
Professor E. d. Pierson, science
teacher in Houston Colored High
School, was unanimously reelected
auditor OF the convention.

Eminent Writer Lays
Cause of Lynching at
Door of Capitalist

MOSCOW, Russia, Dec. 15-Among
the many questions being discussed at
the Third Internationale held here, is
the Negro question. 1t came before an
open session and attracted consider
able attention and wide discussion.
President Kolanoff proposed that de-
tailed reports on the Negro question
everywhere, and especially in the
United States, be submitted before the
conference in open session for the pur-
pose of clarifying the subject for Euro
pean members who are unfamiliar
with the problem in other countries.
However, it was suggested that the
Communist parties support the Negro
movement everywhere in connection
with proposal to call a congress at
Moscow of all the revolutionary Negro
organizations of the world, ''to realize
united front of all workers against
capitalism and imperialism
The speaker then said that the polit-
lcal rights of Negroes in the United
States were mere scraps Of paper and
that for a long time capitalists had
been spreading propaganda among the
Negroes in favor of white capitalists
and against white workers. Until
now, he said, the workers had done
nothing to counteract this
Claude Mckay, the versatile writer
of New York City, who, it is under
stood is not delegate, also addressed
the Internationale. Mr.. Mckay assert.
ed that the Negroes of America were
denied the right of free assembly and
were often lynched, one purpose of the
capitalists being to turn the mind Of
the worker class from class war by in
citing him to race war.

against the answers of his own and
Georges Carpenters managers to his

Sikh reiterated that he was told by
his manager, Hellers, to "lay down in
the sixth round" as that was the
"only way that Carpenters manager,
Descamps, would consent to the fight
After the second round of the battle
at the Buffalo Stadium, Sikh says that
Hellers whispered to him: "Take it
easy, but don't let the public get
wise"
Sikh says that he was then acquies-
cent, but in the third round Carpenter
jolted him badly.
Then l suddenly realized" the jun
gle fighter continued, "that it was a
pretty low down trick on the people
who had paid their money expecting to
see fair fight. Besides, l realized !
could beat Carpenter, which would
mean much more money for me. So /
slipped fast one over which decided
the fight
"As a result of this l have got the
whole boxing ring against me. They
have bounded me until they have got

other charges are all lies"
