BLACK EDUCATOR in
CLASH WITH SENATOR
BORAH ON dyer BILL
Especial to The Tribune)

Washington, D. c., Aug. 4-Senator
Borah addressed large mass meeting
of colored people at the A.M.E. Zion
church in south Washington on 1.-THE
Unconstitutionality of the Dyer Anti
Lynch Bill" He expressed his sur
prise on being asked to address
colored audience since the entire race
knows of his opposition to the meas
ure that is so near the Negroes heart
Senator Borah, congratulated the
race on its judicial attitude in wanting
to hear all sides of the question He
declared his position with a long ar
ray of judicial precedents, and said
that he would violate his oath as a
senator if he voted for bill which he
believed to be unconstitutional. He
said that one sovereignty could not
impose a fine upon another, and that
state pride would resist every effort
to impose such penalty by the nation
al government, thus having the Ne
gro as defenseless as he is now.
Replying from the floor Neval
Thomas, local school teacher said:
mo man living knows whether this
law is constitutional or not. The dis
tinguished senator is likewise dis
tinguished as lawyer, but over and
against his learned opinion is the
learned opinion of Moorefield Storey,
than whom there is no greater lawyer
in the world and that of the attorney
general of the United States.
"The supreme court in all proba-
bility will divide on it, as it does in so
many of the great questions it is
called upon to decide One learned
member of the great tribunal once
said, The only reason we are right is
because we get the last guess. The
laws are volumnious and indefinite.
There is no fixed SCIENCE as the
Nation puts it. Often the most vital
question is declared by five-four
vote, five learned judges saying the
law is one thing and four equally
learned saying it is another"

HAITIAN GIRL Held
IN PEONAGE FINALLY
HAS Been RELEASED
Especial to The Tribune)

New York, Aug. 4,-Altida Supplice,
a Haitian girl under fifteen years of
age, has been returned to her home,
after being held for more than a year
In virtual peonage in Washington, d.
c., through the efforts of the District
of Columbia branch of the N.A.A.C.P.,
according to announcement today.
The girl was brought to the United
States in 1921 by the wife of a captain
in the marine corps on a promise of
ten dollars a month in wages and a
home. Although the girl was forced to
do all sorts of menial tasks, she
never received more than five dollars
for any months work and at the end
of most months she was told that she
been expended for clothes These
the marine officers wife purchased
for the girl, declaring that the cost was
always in excess of wages due in or
der that the girl might remain per-
petually in debt.
Becoming dissatisfied the girl ran
away but was caught and returned to
her employers. Later she ran away
again and this time the case was re-
ported to Shelby ]. Davidson, execu-
tive secretary of the District of Co.
lumbia of the N.A.A.C.P. In COM
pany with Prof Metz Lochard of
Howard university, who acted as in
terpreter, and Mr. William Pickens
who happened to be in Washington
at the time, Mr.. Davidson Called on
M. Arthur Bailly-Blanchard, Haitian
minister to the United States
who at first seemed disinclined to
take any action in the matter, but
upon the delegations insistence he
consented to take the matter up by
talking with the wife of the marine.
She denied the charges. although com
petent witnesses proved the truth of
what the girl had charged. 1t was
discovered during the interview that
she had asked the Washington police
to arrest the girl and return her.
When it was found, that this had
been done, the Board of Childrens
Guardians was requested to take
charge of the girl until she could be
returned to her home This was done
while at the same time steps were
taken through the United States i'm
migration bureau to arrange to have
the girl returned to Haiti on the first
steamer. Both of these steps proved
successful and the girl has been re-
turned to her parents in Haiti, from
whom she had been taken by the ma
rine and his wife without the knowl-
edge and consent of the parents The
successful conclusion of this case cir
cumyents bold attempt to hold a
person in peonage in the national
