BLACK their FACES
TO COMMIT crime
KILLED in THE ACT
Especial to The Tribune)

Bowling Green, KY, June 23.- The
common practice, not only in the south
but also in parts of the north, of white
people blacking their faces before
committing crimes reacted to the dis
advantage of two white women, re-
sulting in their death, according to
meager reports reaching this city.
According to the story of travellers,
who brought the news here, a white
farmer sold his farm for $1,800 This
fact was known by several neighbors.
AS there were no banks near by in
which to deposit the money, the farmer
kept it in his home. Knowing of these
facts, several of the neighbors invited
the farmer to go on fox hunt. While
he was absent on the hunt, the wives
of two men who planned the hunt,
dressed themselves as men and black
ened their faces so they would look
like colored. They went to the farm
er's house and found his wife in. They
demanded the money and a fight en-
sued, in which the throat of the farm
er's wife was cut.
The noise attracted the attention of
a boarder, who, seeing the two sup
posed colored men, secured a gun and
shot both of them, killing them almost
instantly. Discovering that he had
killed two white women, the boarder
fled and the hunters found the bodies
of the three women dead when they
returned.
Little or no publicity was given the
affair in the community, However,
had the two women who had their
faces blackened made their escape, it
is certainty that at least two or three
innocent colored men would have been
lynehed for, the crime.
Clay county, Tennessee, is located
on the Kentucky and Tennessee line
and is not traversed by any railroad.

SPINGARN MEDAL IS
AWARDED To WOMAN
BY JUDGES OF 1922

Mary B. Talbert, former president of
the National Association of Colored
Women, has been chosen to receive
the Spingarn Medal on Tuesday. June
20, at the Newark conference of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, it was an
nounced recently. The committee on
the award issued the following state
ment:
"The award was made to Mrs Mary
B. Talbert, and this award was given
in consideration of her services in
organizing the women Of the country
so that the debt was paid off the home
of Frederick Douglass, the home re-
stored and made shrine in memory
of the great Douglass; also because Of
the fact that she represented the COL
ored women of America at the Inter
national Council of Women in Nor
way.
"The award was made specifically
for the above reasons. However, the
committee could not fail to take into
consideration also the fact that Mrs.
Talbert was twice president of the
National Association of Colored Wo-
men and that all her life she has been
identified with uplift work, religious
and civic, and has been & leader of the
women of her race"

CHIEF OF POLICE in
TULSA ORDERS ALL
negro help FIRED"
Especial to The Tribunel

Tulsa, Okla, June 23.-Chief of Po-
lice Moran, today issued drastic or
der directing that all hotel and room
ing houses replace Negro employees
with white help.
While the order is generally known
to be unconstitutional, that fact is
matter of very small consideration
here in Tulsa, the modern Sodom
and Americas most wicked city; this
step is evidently part of the K K.
K. program to maintain white su-
premacy, by taking from the Negro
his opportunity to earn livlihood.
The chief said this move would help
curb the social evil We do not see
the point however.

On the other hand, if there we're no
conservatives to counteract the over
enthusiasm of the radicals, the race
might lose much of the past thatShas
permanent value.
THAT race would indeed be unfor-
tunate, all of whose members thought
alike, believed alike, and lived alike.
for race with only one school of
thought is unbalanced and seriously
crippled. If, for example, we had
nothing but Hamptons for the Negro
race and no Howards, there would be
a serious lack of colored physicians
and lawyers; and if we had all How
ards and no Hamptons, there would
be a great dearth of colored educa-
tional leaders, agriculturists and
trained mechanics. Both types of
schools are equally important and
necessary"
