Raleigh. N. c., Nov. Marcus Gar
Yey, provisional president of Africa.
delivered an address at the Negro
fair here last Wednesday afternoon
in which he praised the southern
white people for lynching the Amer
lean Negro as they have been doing,
claiming that by this means they
were making the Negro become
conscious of the fact that he is not
wanted in this country and can new
er make any progress as race
here.
Garvey declared, ''If northern
white man tells me he loves me,
say he is liar. The white man Of
the south hates the Negro and is
honest enough to say So"
When we get into our republic In
Africa we mean to dispise the
whites because the blacks will have
everything and the whites nothing.
That's why the southern white man
dispise us now and is frank enough
to tell you so. He has everything
and you have nothing, so don't
blame him for dIspising you. He
has contempt for you because you
won't do anything for yourselves.

TO TRAIN NEGROES AS
BANKERS IN NEW NSTITU-
TON.

New York N. Y, Nov "a new
experiment in the education of the
American Negro banking and fl
nancial methods will be begun to-
ward the end of December with the
erection of the Globe National Bank
of New York, which is to be built
at the corner of 135th Street and
Seventh Avenue. AS planned by its
founders the new bank. which is
to cost 100000 for the building
alone, will be the first national
bank in the United States to have
both Negroes and white men on its
board of directors, and 1t is hoped
that young Negroes from all parts
of the country may be trained at it
and sent back to their own districts
with sound knowledge of banking
methods.
The idea of starting a bank which
should serve to instruct Negroes in
financial and economic matters orig
mated with Henry M. Black, who
has been for twenty-eight years in
private banking business at SIS
Broadway. President Harding, in his
speech at Birmingham, Ala, last
November, said that he believed that
the problems of the Negro race could
be solved by the recognition Of the
Negro in business.
This set Mr.. Black to thinking
about the problem, and his conclu-
sion was that although the Negro
had been afforded opportunities for
scholastic and Industrial training
equal to those of the white race, he
had never been accorded the pro-
per opportunity for economic or
financial training. 1t is to meet
this need that Mr.. Black organized
the Globe National Bank
Although there are some eighty
Negro banks in different parts Of
the country, Mr.. Black said, they
are run entirely by Negroes, and
there is no bank where white people
sit with Negroes on the board of
directors 1t is hoped in the new
bank to get a bright young Negro
from each of these banks and give
him course of training in the
Globe National Bank
"This naturally will weld the
country banks To q. parent bank in
New York" said Mr.. Black. "The
same course will be carried out in
bringing young Negroes from South
America, Cuba, and the West In
dies for a course in this bank. Thru
this method economic training will
reach a large number of these peo-
pie"
The capital stock for the new
bank is being largely subscribed by
different local groups, Mr.. Black
said. a large portion of it by Ne
groes, and much of it by white
people who are interested in the
Harlem district The assessed value
of real estate held by Negroes in
New York is over $100,000,0 900,
while the Negro deposits in savings
banks are estimated at $4,000, 900

SEVEN-YEAR OLD BOY CON-
FESSES TO MURDER OF
PLAYMATE.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 9.-Seven
years old and a murderer!
This is the plight which confront
seven-year-old Elmer Kyle, following
the death of jake Pfeiffer, also
seven years old. and a playmate,
who was showed off large coal
hoist last week.
And as the youth, hardly reali-
zing the gravity of his crime, told
of the details, considering the cpl
sode in the matter of a lark, his
pretty 32-year-old mother, her eyes
red with weeping, told the court
over and over again, ut isn't so.
1t isn't SO! My baby would not do
such a crime"
And in connection with the moth
er's agonized cry, comes similar
one from Mrs. Pfeiffer to the effect
that she strongly doubts the con-
fession of the youth. She is sure,
she states, that Jake was the vic
tim of a moron, who bribed Kyle to
make the confession and shield the
/ real culprit.
Police investigating the boys
story declare 1t tallies accurately
with evidence submitted by other
persons regarding the affair during
the last week.
Marks ON the boys body, police
state, were apparently received dur
| ing the tussle, and they have stated
that the theory that the dead youth
was the victim of moron has been
dispelled.
The two boys, according to Ell
mer's confession, visited a candy
store, and while one bought a PEN
ny's worth of candy. the other took
some pencils.
Later the youths met near the
Galloway dock in the south end of
the town. After playing in a sand
pile for few minutes, they climbed
the steel ladder of the tall crane.
Fought ON Landing.
On the first landing, it is alleged,
the two youths resumed their form
! er quarrel over the pencils. 1t Is
here that the quarrel eliminated
in a fight, and in the exchange OF
blows, the Pfeiffer youth was al
LEGGED to have been hurled over the
railing to the river. fifty feet be-
low.
Aghast at what he had done, II
is said, he went to the home of a
man. who took him to his mother.
Hoping to brighten him, the woman
carried him to the detention home,
1t is said, to have him ''lectured''
for skipping school. While he was
here, the confession was obtained,
1t is stated.
Case Unique in Crime History.
The case is one of the most uni
que in the history of crime in this
city. The youth is now being held
at the Detention Home. Under the
law, police claim a child between
2 and IA years Of age is presumed
to be incapable of the commission
of a crime unless evidence can be
realized he was committing a GRIM
inal offense. Authorities, however,
doubt If II can be proven that the
lad intended to take his compan-
ions life.
