Whites to Try to Prove Colored
staff at Hospital
Impracticable.

New York, Aug. 10.-In connec-
tion with the report today of the ar
rest of three colored veterans at the
United States government hospital
in Tuskegee, Alabama, the National
Association today issued a warning
of a race riot manufactured" by
Alabama whites to discredit the hos
pital inmates and colored staff.
"White people have threatened the
heads of Tuskegee Institute and have
driven away colored men appointed
by the United States Veterans Bu-
reau to fill positions in the govern
ment hospital at Tuskegee.
Failing to terrorize the United
States government, the white Tuske-
gee mobbists are now attempting to
prepare the country for a carefully
manufactured race riot at Tuskegee.
It is to be expected that if attacked
by mob, the colored people in Tus-
kegee will attempt to defend them
selves"

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. s.-John L.
Whitfield was found guilty of first
degree murder with recommends
tion for mercy by jury in Judge
Phillips court late today for the
murder of Patrolman Dennis Griffin
on May II. Judge Phillips immedi-
ately sentenced Whitfield to life i'm
prisonment in the Ohio penitentiary.
The jury deliberated exactly eight
hours, reaching their verdict at 2:30
P. M. 1t was fifteen minutes later
when their verdict was announced.
Whitfield took the verdict calmly,
apparently elated at escaping the
death chair.
In passing sentence Judge Phillips
scored the jury for not returning a
verdict that would carry with it the
death penalty.
Talking directly to the prisoner in
sentencing him Judge Phillips said:
"In my entire experience I have
never known of a murderer who un-
justly received the death penalty.
AS the trial Judge I would have felt
a degree of satisfaction in sentencing
you to death, but my hands are tied
BY the verdict and therefore I SEN
tence you to spend the remainder of
your life in the penitentiary."

rival which serves all the purposes Of
the bandanna, and has some special
features all its own.

pieces Of wide ribbon which are mitered
at the corners by double hemstitching
or fagotting. The opening formed by
the four pieces is large enough to 60

one point comes down in the front, with
both shoulders and the back adorned
with the other points. The shoulder
points can both be knotted, or only one
point tied. The clever-fngered woman
can make six or eight different adjust
ments of the ribbon bertha.
When worn square across the front
the side pieces can be folded over the
front piece which goes across the chest
in such a way az to form q vestee and
collar. This is a special feature that
the bandanna cannot boast unless it Is
cut out In the center.

German Called "Swine''
Is Told He Is Lucky

Berlin.-It is no crime here to call a
German q Swine" however touchy
Hans. in other places, may feel about
the epithet. A local court has just
decided that the appellation Is not
even offensive-in legal sense.
A Berlin police official recently was
transferred to Munich. He wasn't very
popular in Berlin, and the Zeitung
und Mittag, in reporting the transfer
declared "Henceforth Munich will have
the swine"
The police official, oddly enough,
felt aggrieved. He sued both the
writer of the article and the editor of
the paper. Both insisted that the
term ito have swine" meant luck.
The Judge ruled that no offense was
intended. There is no record that
Munich considers herself in luck, but
the police official is said to feel he is
out Of luck.

PROMOTION
By E. w. Giles.

The best promotion is self-promo-
tion. .-
The best promotion is from within.
The best promotion is on the one
job rather than changing from place
to place.
Mr.. A. began as a truck driver
and made good, then he was given a
more responsible position in the same
institution and made good, etc, and
now he is superintendent of de-
partmet in the same institution.
Rev. A. began as pastor of a little
mission church. He has grown and
his church has grown and his salary
has grown until now he is a big man
and pastor of big church and with
big salary and yet it is all the
same institution.

The strongest statement on the
question of race relationship ever
uttered by a Maryland U. S. senator
was that given out by w. Cabell
Bruce, Maryland's junior senator,
elected on the Democratic ticket re-
Gently.
In it Senator Bruce thundered
against lynching, the Ku Klux Klan
and the effort being made to place a
white personnel over the colored SOL
dier's hospital at Tuskegee. The sem
ator takes his seat for the first time
in the next congress.
Senator Bruce said:
Pledges Fairness.
"As a member of the Senate, I
propose, so far as it shall lie in my
power, to see that the colored man
receives fair and just treatment in
every respect. For instance, if I
had a voice in the matter, I should
certainly insist that the veterans
hospital, recently established by the
government at Tuskegee for the care
of colored veterans, should be under
the charge of colored physicians and
nurses; assuming, as I have no rea-
son to doubt, that the colored people
could furnish competent persons for
the places; and I should insist upon
my point all the more strongly now
that such an irresponsible and dan
ferrous order as the Ku Klux Klan
has endeavored to terrorize DR.. Mo-
ton, the head of Tuskegee, and his
associates.
Physician At Tuskegee.
If were a white physician or
nurse, I would be ashamed to permit
myself to be the instrument of such
gross injustice If the principle of
carrying along the two races on equal
but not converging lines is a sound
working one, where could it be better
applied than to the situation that
has risen at the Tuskegee hospital? ?
Opposed to Lynching.
'T shall also avail myself of all
the little influence that my office may
give me to do whatever I can to
bring to an end the savage and
abominable practice of lynching-a
practice that is unworthy of any COM
munity that affects to possess the
merest rudiments of civilization; but
not by voting as a senator for the
Dyer anti-lynching bill; for in my
judgment that bill is palpably un-
constitutional measure; and, even If
it were not, it would, if enacted, be
such an irritating interference with
the domestic interests of the states
that the bitterness engendered by it
would be much more likely to make
it productive of harm than of good"

The republic has now been divided
into 16 states or administrative units,
called voyvodships. The city Of War
saw, however, as capital Of the repub-
lie, is distinct from any voyvodship.
After struggling with various bound
ary disputes on all sides, and, emerg-
ing victorious from war with Rus
sia, Poland established her frontiers
and then turned her attention to in
terHal affairs.
The first regular Polish parliament
came into being November q, 1922.
succeeding the constituent assembly
that had been organized as an emer-
gency governing body early in 1919.
During its life, the assembly enacted
more than five hundred laws, including
a constitution providing for house Of
representatives elected by universal
suffrage, and a senate elected in the
same manner.
Economy was another far-reaching
measure Instituted by the new repub-
lie. During 1922, a reduction Of 25.-
600 civilian employees was made in the
various departments. Military affairs
also were subjected to sweeping
changes. A standing army of 25,OO0
was recommended, with compulsory
military service of two years for all
males reaching the age Of twenty-one.
f.. Demonstrates Its Stability.
The republic demonstrated its sta
bility in December, 1922, following the
assassination Of President Narutowicz,
the first chief executive, after he had
been in Office but two days. In the
absence of precedent, the leaders
turned to the constitution for guild
ance. Four days after the assassina-
ton, an election was held and a new
president took Office in accordance
with the expressed viii Of the people.

A fiery cross 20 feet high burned
Monday night on the hill facing Lit
tie Bass lake, seven miles north of
st. Paul, while at least 100 robed fol-
lowers of the Ku Klux Klan and per-
haps 400 men in civilian clothes held
a Klan meeting in the hollow close
to the lake.
Elaborate precautions were taken
by those at the meeting to prevent
interruption and maintain secrecy,
according to lake residents who live
across the lake from the scene Of
the gathering. The hollow where the
meeting was held is part Of the pic
mic grounds owned by Charles Chap
man, who also maintains large
bathing beach ON Big Bass lake.
Headlights Kept Burning.
On the hill, facing up, according to
the lake residents, was circle Of
parked cars with searchlights burn
ing, while guards were posted at in
tervals along the top Of the hill, thus
making it impossible for anyone to
approach the meeting from this side,
unobserved. A similar row of cars
faced the lake, their searchlights be-
ing trained so that no boat could ap-
proach the shore without being seen.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Robert, who
lives on the opposite shore, was hon.
ored with two searchlights constantly
on his house, according to informa-
tion received. About half a dozen
boats were out on the lake, but lit
tie accurate information as to the
proceedings could be learned.
Meeting Lasts Two Hours.
The gathering of the Klan began
about P. M. and the meeting lasted
about two hours. A similar meeting
was held July 4, but none Of the lake
residents paid much attention to it
then, as it was thought to be merely
