COLOR LINE
COSTS GREEK
A THOUSAND

New York, Oct. 13.-Hailing before
the law a Greek restaurant keeper
for discrimination in his store, viorat-
ing the civil rights act, resulted in a
signal victory for Margaret Elizabeth
and Ardelle Jeanette Virgins, 14S
West 12Sth street, last week. Each
one was awarded $100 damages. They
were represented by Deputy Assistant
District Attorney Max Solomon
(white).
On May 20 last the sisters entered
the restaurant of James Dracatos. .
East Twenty-eighth street, and asked
a waiter for sandwiches and matted
milk. He refused to serve them. Ac-
cordfng to the girls, they went to Dra-
catos, who declined to rescind the
walters action and remarked: mo, I
won't serve you. You know why. You
are colored and serving you would in
jure my trade" The Misses Virgins
Immediately brought suit against Dra-
catos for $500 each under the provi-
sions of the civil rights act, which
makes it an offense punishable by fine
to refuse to accommodate a person in
public place on account of color.
The Greek did not file an answer to
the complaints and the award was
made against him by default. The
cases were heard in the sheriff's Of
flee. 1t is said to be the first time in
many years that the sheriff's jury was
called upon to adjudicate damages in
two cases where the civil rights act
had been transgressed.

Buffalo Branch N. A.
A. p. Sends White
Rapist to Jail for six
to Twenty Years.

A white rapist, found guilty or at
tack upon 9-year-old colored girls OF
Buffalo, has gone to Jail for from six
to twenty years, due to the efforts of
the Buffalo Branch of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colorado People.
The white man, Morris Deitch, was
convicted of rape. An appeal for a
new trial for him was denied, accord
ing to the Buffalo branch's report.
The branch called the attention of the
district attorneys office TO the case
and followed it through until sentence
was imposed.

NEW YORK BANK
TO PUT COLORED
MEN ON BOARD
First Institution of Its Kind-To
Be Located in Harlem-Ne-
groes and Whites to
Serve Together

New York, Oct. 13.-A new bank is
to be established in New York and
will be the first of its kind in the
United States. The bank will be
unique in that it will be white bank
with Negroes on the board of direc-
tors. The new bank will be located at
7th avenue and 35th street and will be
named the Globe National Bank of
New York When interviewed, one of
the officials said:
"Our innovation in having a Negro
board of directors is one of the out
standing features of present-day
American banking" eve are the first
bank in the United States to do this.
AS many of our clients will be colored
people, we feel that it is only right
that the Negro be given recognition in
finance. If his money helps make our
success possible, he certainly should
have reputation on our board of direc-
tors.
1--WE believe in the economic devel-
opment of the colored race. We will
install n special system of education
along banking and financial lines, for
both white and black clients. The chief
point in this system will be the edu-
cation of the people as to how best to
invest their savings.
"In the new Harlem bank we will
have, besides the white and Negro
board of directors, an honorary board
and a community of trustees. We will
make a speciality of handling legacies
that have been bequeathed to Negroes
by white people: We will pass on the
legality of these funds, and in other
ways look after the benefactions of
these philanthropists."

Catholics Throw
Scare into X. K. X.

Washington, ID. C. Oct Lied by
high dignitaries of the church $4,000
Catholics, colored and white, repre-
senting the Holy Name Society,
marched through the city's streets last
Sunday, throwing ''fit" into members
of the Ku Klux Klan, who have been
holding small limitations in the out
skirts of the city.
The Catholic Church showed its
strength Sunday on the occasion of
the society's golden jubilee celebration.
Fully 100000 persons attended the
services at the base of Washington
monument, where Archbishop Curley
spoke and the Papal blessing was be-
slowed.
Fully $500 colored members of the
society from Baltimore and Washing
ton were in line. Baltimore delega-

Congress will probably be convened
in extraordinary session on November
30, at which time passage of the Dyer
anti-lynching bill is predicted by the
New York Worlds Washington cor
respondent, according to an announce
ment by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
40 Fifth avenue, New York.
The World has been a consistent OPP
ponent of the Dyer bill, but it's Wash
ington correspondent, under date of
October II, states that while the
House is wrestling with the ship sub
sidy bill, for consideration of which
the special session will be primarily
called, 1.-The Senate will be expected to
put the anti-lynching bill over"
The New York Worlds correspond
ent further states:
1T became necessary for the Repup-
lican leaders to give positive pledges
that the Dyer measure would be
brought to vote early in the next
session. With this promise they hope
to hold the Negro voters in line until
after Nov. z.
1T is said that with the influence
of the President, the bill will receive
the requisite number of votes"
At the same time, the chief Demo
cratic organ in New York City, the
New York Times, on October 13, spoke
of the anti-lynching bill as follows:
"Next December, the matter will
normally come up as unfinished bust
ness. 1t is possible that then it, may
be considered as one not of party in
terest, but of national concern BY a
patriotic agreement some act may be
passed to put the stamp of federal dis
approval upon a form of lawlessness
which brings the whole nation into dis
repute."
The editorial of the New York
Times was arranged through the Anti
Lynching Crusaders, whose New York
representative, Mrs. James Weldon
Johnson, called upon the editor of the
Times and told. him of the women's
movement. The Times editorial says
of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders: ut
is hopeful sign that, in the new or
ganization of n million women to stop
lynching in the United States, direc-
tors from every Southern state are
taking part"

bring them in. Bring them into this
great fraternity. If there is any COM
munity where there are the required
number of applicants (30) and dep
uty cannot be secured, notify the
Grand Exalted Ruler, ana I Will be
