FIRE DEST ROYS
TRACTION B AR n;
|0R|G|N UNKNOWN
Specta cular Blaze
Threatens Business Sec
ton of Caldwell Sunday
Evening.

Fire of unknown origin completely
destroyed the Caldwell Traction COM
pany car barns Sunday evening. Loss
es are placed at $4,000 with partial
insurance.
Well under headway before the
blaze was discovered, the fire depart
ment was without chance to extin-
guish the fire. Efforts were devoted
to saving surrounding property and
to prevent spread of the flames. Sun
day afternoon, high wind prevailed.
The fact that it1had almost died down
at twilight alone prevented what might
have been city sweeping conflagra-
ton. Breezes from the northwest car
ried cinders and burning fragments of
wood over the entire business district.
Of frame construction, dry as a
tinder box and saturated with oil, the
building burned with great rapidity.
1t was a spectacular fire and not less
than 1000 Caldwell citizens, many of
whom had already retired, donned
some clothes hastily and dashed off
to see the blaze.
Before the alarm was turned in, the
entire structure was ablaze. 1nvesti-
CATION Monday indicated that the fire
had started in the westerly part OF
the building, inside. No wiring was
in that part of the building to have
caused the blaze and the opinion pre-
walls that hoboes, using the building
for sleeping quarters, accidently set i
afse. This is only surmise, how
ever, since nothing has been uncov
cred as yet to indicate the cause o
the blaze It is known, however, tha
buns occasionally did use the struc
ture for sleeping quarters.
/ In addition to the loss of the build
ing, considerable property in the wa.
\ Of machinery and equipment was als'
destroyed. Harry Meek, company EN-
ployee, lost a valuable set of tools
Two older cars owned by the com
pany were completely destroyed. On
freighter, a comparatively new one
was badly burned but is mechanicall
sound and repairs can probably b
made upon it. This car was outsid
the barn as was one of the passenge
cars and the old freighter.
Trains on the Traction line wer
run as usual Monday morning. OF

Negroes Move Into
White Tenements

New York, Sept. 17.-Bricks, razors,
knives, clubs and fists were the weap-
ons that sent six victims to hospitals
and score of others, less seriously
injured, to physicians for treatment
early today as a result of a race riot
between the whites and Negroes that
grew out of the invasion by Negroes
of a neighborhood tenanted by white
families. Police reserves quelled the
battle.
Three of the six seriously injured
are under arrest and under police
guard in hospitals. They are white
men, all charged with felonious as
sault. They are suffering from razor
cuts, stab wounds and broken heads.
A Negro man and two Negro women
also are in hospitals, but have not been
arrested.
Whites Invade Hall.
The battle occurred on w. Fifty
ninth street, in the upper West Side
where, the police say, trouble has
been brewing for some months, follow
ing invasion of the neighborhood by
the Negroes. Early today, party oi
white men is alleged to have invaded
hall where celebration of Negroes
was in progress. They were elected
badly beaten, the police say, and later
they dragged two Negro women ano
their male escort from taxicab and
set upon them. ,.,
This is said to have precipitated
general battle, whites and Negroes
flocking to the melee from all dlrec
tions. Razors, knives and CLUBS aug
mented fists, while adherents of both
factions stood on nearby tenement
roofs and hurled into the swirllne
mass bricks torn from chimneys. Rlo'
calls brought several squadrons OF po'
lice. whorushed the two factions into
an enforced peace.
Extra police tonight are patrolline
the neighborhood to prevent a resump-
ton of hostilities.

judges reversed the decision of the
referee awarding him the bout on Il
foul and still believes himself the light
heavyweight champion of the world.
Regret is expressed on all sides over
the downfall of Carpenter, but no at
tempt is made by the sporting newspa-
pers to hide their satisfaction over the
discontinue of Francois DescampS,
Carpenters manager.
The Carpentier-Siki bout has crowd
ed virtually everything else off the
front pages of the Paris newspapers
and has Obscured the Turco-Greek con-
flict in public interest. Both last night
and today business generally was
slowed down by the absorbed discus
sion of the event everywhere.
The fight film was shown to the
press this afternoon. In it the left leg
of Sikh was distinctly seen to rise be-
hind the left knee of Carpenter who
began then to fall, but observers found
it impossible to decide whether it was
real trip-up or merely the leg Of the
Negro fighter passing between the
white mans lexis.
The film, however, makes it evident
that Sikh had no need to trip Carpen-
tier, who at the moment seemed to be
seeking his opponent in order to sup
port himself, being patiently finished

Senator Heflin OBJ
iects to Printing
Record of r a ce S
Progress.

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
through its Secratery, James Weldon
Johnson, calls attention to an incident
in the Senate, an account of which was
published in the Congressional Record
of Sept Is, which shows the hostility
of southern senators to the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill. Senator William NJ
Calder of New York on the previous
Sunday delivered an address in the
Nazarene Congregational Church of
Brooklyn in which he discussed the de-
velopment of the Negro race during
the past sixty years and urged the pas
sage of the Dyer Bill When Senator
Shortridge of California joined with
Senator Calder in asking that the ad-
dress be printed in the Congressional
Record, Senator Heflin of Alabama
objected
The incident is noted in the Congress
sional Record as follows:
MIR. Shortridge: Mr.. President, my
attention has been called to an ad-
dress delivered by the junior senator
from New York (NIr. Calder) at the
Nazarene Congregational Church, in
Brooklyn, n. Y, on Sunday evening.
Sept. 10. In this address the senator
from New York discusses the develop
ment of the Negro race during the past
sixty years, and urges the enactment
of the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill. 1t
was my privilege to report that bill out
of the Judiciary committee, of which
l am n member, and | join with the
senator from New York in expressing
the hope that that measure will be
passed before Congress adjourns this
session. The address is thoughtful and
contains some very interesting facts
bearing upon the progress of the Ne
gro race in our country. 1 ask unani-
nous consent that the address NAV be
printed in the Record in eight-point
type.
Mr.. HefIin: Mr.. President, for the
time being 1 object, until 1 can exam
inc the address.
The Presiding officer: The senator
from Alabama object.
Mr.. Shortridge: shall be very glad
to hand copy of the address to the
senator from Alabama and if he then
objects to it, it will be his privilege to
do so.
This attitude of hostility on the part
of southern senator's necessitates that
churches, lodges, clubs and organIza-
dons of all sorts, as well as individuals
VINO favor the passage of the Anti
Lynchlng Bill, should urge their SEN
ators to insist upon immediate action
on the bill

COlOred Theater i'm
"Buzzard" ROOst
Belmont Is Key" House to M.
& P. Circuit.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. Ga new
thing in jim Crowism is being rur-
nished at Il. L. Cummings Belmont
theater here, in that the segregated
section of the theater which custom
has set aside for colored people in the
irons, the "Buzzard Roost" being the
only part of the theater where the
white people are allowed to sit.
The psychology of the Southern
is being worked on. 1t is n well known
fact that the Southern whites general
ly enjoy a colored show, and the laws
of the South say plainly that the
to heaven, so the Belmont's handling
of the situation is being watched with
good deal of interest, both by col
ored and white folk.
The Belmont as "key" house of the
new Managers and Performers Circuit
began its new departure in handling
the Jim Crow question on Aug. 1. If
Jim Growing white people proves prof
table at the Belmont it will mean the
financial salvation of number of col
ored houses which have heretofore
been able to play to colored patron
age only on account of the laws of
the states where they are doing busi-
ness.
Inasmuch as the Jim Crow laws
have always operated to the disad-
vantage of colored people in establish
ments or on cars owned by white peo-
pie, the manager of the Belmont Is
simply carrying out the custom.
As the "key" theater of the circuit
is owned by colored people, the race
which does not own it will have to ac-
cept such service as it can get.

COL ORED BANKERS NOW after
BUSINESS WITH REPUBLIC OF HAITI

New York, Sept. 22.-As an imme-
dlate result of the project of colored
bankers, promoters and other business
men financing a diamond expedition
to British Guiana, a transportation
and trading company has developed.
Representative Haitians, upon finding
the hackers fully responsible and quail
flied for big business, at once offered
alluring inducements and valuable
concessions, and a conference between
the parties concerned warranted the
organization of the OVERSEA NANI-
CATION CORPORATION to effect
regular service between American and
Haitian ports, and the OVERSEA
TRADING COMPANY to supply the
immense Haitian needs which will
grow out of the large American loan
I of S40,00O,0OO for the development of
the island republic.
The new companies will have their
offices at so Wall Street, New York
City. All business will be transacted
through the colored banks and each
bank has been asked to assist in the
underwriting of the project. small
block of stock, however, will be avail
able to the general public.
This is practically the first time
that colored banks have had an oppor-
tunity to depart from the usual real
estate and mortgage business and en-
joy the huge profits common among
white banking institutions engaged in
the promotion of international COM
merce. and the colored bankers have
not been slow to take advantage of
the situation.
That the new companies are being
operated by trained business men
after the most approved modern bust
ness methods, is Indicated by the brill
liant moves made so far and by the
roster of its officials, which includes
the names of such widely known and
capable men as Charles e. Mitchell,
president, and also president of the
Mutual Savings and Loan Co., of
Charleston, w. Va; Anthony Craw-
ford, vice-president and managing dl-
rector, Il ship operator and importer
and exporter of long experience; Maj.
william II. York, secretary, former eX-
commissioner of the Liberian Frontier
Forces; Col. james NJ. Canty, treas
urer, and also vice-president of the

ney, also examiner in chancery, Dis
