K1EvAL II. THOMAS, member of

KTEVAL II. THOMAS, member of
N the board of directors of the Ma
tional Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People, has writ
| ten letter to the Washington Even
ing Star, protesting against that news
papers editorial endorsement of the
plan to erect memorial to "colored
mammies" of the South in the national
capitol. Mr.. Thomas refers to the
plan as movement having for it's OBJ
| ject to keep colored people in their
| former state of servitude." Mr. Thom-
as, after pointing out that the meas
ure is sponsored by Senator John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi, con-
tinues:
1--WE are glad that the white race
appreciates the divine virtues of truth
and loyalty which the black nanny
had, and has in abundance, but it over
looks the other divine virtue that is
here, n divine love for her offspring.
She bore her sufferings in patience
because she believed that through
them Americas conscience would
quicken and give her children and her
children's children the justice they SO
richly deserve. My own beloved moth
er was one of those unfortunates who
had the flower of her youth spent in
slave cabin, and 1 know the heart
of Il slave mother its intense longing
for better things for her children.
Every black nanny who looks
down from Heaven today upon this
disordered world delights to see her
beautiful daughters and granddaugh-
ters aspiring and attaining unto the
beautiful and the true the spite of
their handicaps which the Southern
spirit which proposes this monument
throws around them. She loves to see
them reading the best in literature,
filling positions for usefulness, taking
honors at the best universities in the
land, and relgning over cultured
homes, not as 'old nanny but as
dutiful wife and tender mother
so if the South has such deep
gratitude for the virtues of this de-
voted group from which it reaped vast
riches, let it remove the numberless
barriers it has gone out of its way to
throw up against the progress of the
noble Negro womanhood who spranS
from these 'mammies.' Democracy is
the monument which the 'colored
nanny wants erected to her, and not
a marble shaft, which at best will be
mind white and black alike that the
menial callings are our place in the
scheme OF things"

Garvey Case
Takes Ku Klux
Wizard to N. Y.
E. Y. Clark Tells Federal
Grand Jury of Atlanta
Meeting With U. N.
I. A. Head.

New York, Feb S-Edward Young
Clarke, Imperial Wizard of the Ku
Klux Klan, came to this city from At
lanta, Ga, yesterday and appeared be-
fore the federal grand jury as wit
ness against Marcus Garvey, who Is
to be tried on February 20 for de-
frauding investors in the Black Star
Line.
AT a meeting of the Universal I'M
proyement Negro Association here in
July, Garvey, who is known as the
provisional President of Africa" de-
neunced the Ku Klux Kan, but in Oc-
tober last he made secret trip to
Atlanta and conferred there with
Clarke. The government learned of
his conference recently and Assistant
United States District Attorney Max
well S. Mattuck had Clarke subpoen-
aed before the grand jury.
1t is believed that Clarke told of his
dealings with Garvey. Clarke prom
ised Mr. Mattuck after his appearance
before the grand jury that he would
send here papers which might throw
light upon any overtures made by the
Black Star Line to the Ku KluX Klan.
Edward Young Clarke was sub
poenaed here by me from Atlanta ten
days ago after the investigation into
the case of Marcus Garvey disclosed
that Clarke was visited by -Garvey at
Atlanta sometime ago in connection
with Garvey's Black Star Line and the
Universal Negro Improvement Associa-
tion," said Mr.. Mattuck. 'It was my
purpose to determine the nature of the
between the so-called PRO
visional President of Africa and
Clarke. Clarke appeared before the
grand jury this morning and was ex-
by me at length as to the con-
ference between the two men,"
Garvey and three officers and di-
rectors of the Black Star Line were
indicted on charge of having stated
that the line had purchased a steam
ship which was to operate between
this port and Africa. The line was
capitalized at $1O,OOO.OoO, and Garvey
and his associates sought to sell p
10000 shares of the stock at par by
sending circulars through the mails,
In January, J. w. II. Eason, who
was to have been the chief witness
for the government against Garvey,
was murdered in New Orleans. There
were about fifty other witnesses on
the governments list, however, who
would be able to supply the same evil
dence, it was said. Mr.. Mattuck said
he had known for some time that at
-empts were being made to intimidate
and that several of them
had said that their lives had been

gave a distinct surprise to her many
friends and admirers. She measured
well, both the occasion and the
achievements of the martyr of whom
she was to speak, and she arose SUI
perbly to each.
In selecting a toastmaster for an
occasion of such Importance the COM
mittee made a happy choice in Mr.
Leroy J. Perkins. He presided
with dignified bearing that was
both pleasing and inspiring He in
troduced each speaker with neat wit
ticisms that kept all in a continuous
happy frame of mind. Owing to the
absence of Attorney John Adams of
Pueblo, Father II. e. Rahming was
prevailed upon to deliver the address
upon abraham Lincoln" The learned
rector of the Church of the Redeemer
has long since been affectionally re-
and the able manner in which he re-
Sponded without moments advance
notice, shows how worthily Denver's
confidence has been placed. His was
a mastery address and opened the
way for the high class program that
followed. The next speaker was Mrs.
Ida De Priest with John Brown Of
Ossawatomie as her subject, and as
before stated, she let in a new light
on her genius and ability. The life of
John Brown was not such as to call
for eloquent tribute so much as pathos
and prayerful praise Mrs. DePriest
was equal to the requirements of the
hour and visible emotion swayed the
audience as they sang "John Browns
Body" Immediately following her ad-
dress. Then came NJ. M. D. Perdue,
DID. of Colorado Springs, on the sub
ject, Frederick Douglass" Rev. Per-
due is young man who has been in
Colorado less than a year. He came
here from Kentucky, where he was
reared and where he had pastored a
large church that had previously been
world war he received the appoint
ment of chaplain in the U. S. army
and served with distinction until mus
tered out late in 1919. Since his COM
ing to Colorado we have heard much
of his ability and leadership, all of
which has been very flattering and
praiseworthy. But we say now that
the half was not told. AS an orator,
a scholar, clear cut Christian gentle
man, Rev. Perdue has come to Colo
RADIO at convenient season. The
baptist denomination needs his wis
dom, the Negroes of Colorado need his
counsels and the state his ability. |
Forceful and logical, carrying his au-
dience with easy transition from
laughter to tears, deep in his histori- |
cal references and beautiful in meta
phorical flights, the Rev. Perdue gave
to the Denver Colored Civic Associa-
tion and it's guests treat worthy Of
the day and the great heroes memor-
ialized.
Too much credit cannot be given
Maj. Thos. Campbell, president of the
association, and his estimable wife,
whose enthusiastic interest proved
such a potent factor in making this
fourth annual event a big success

mortal celebration and BAN
.nuet in the beautiful auditorium OIL
the Chamber of Commerce Duiidlng
Monday night, Feb. II, gave to Den
yer and to history something that VIII
live long in the memories of everyone
so fortunate as to be present. 1t was
an event extending beyond the simple
forms and ceremonies of the usual
banquet it was an occasion filled with
enthusiasm and well-directed purpose.
Everyone caught the spirit and felt
the importance of the occasion, laying
aside all cold reserve and mechanical
formalities The scene was one never
TO be forgotten, whether one looked in
upon the scentillating loveliness and
rare beauty of the palm laden loung-
ing room, where a hundred or more
of our ladies handsomely gowned and
Jewel bedecked reclined in easy fash
ion, or upon the spacious banquet hall
where was seated citizens representa-
tive of every profession and business
in Denver. Promptly at s 80 the ban
q yuueters formed in line with Major and
Mrs. Thos Campbell at the head and
marched into the dining room.
Miss Oleata Anderson, though
guest of the occasion, sweetly con-
sented to preside at the piano in abb
sence of the musician engaged for the
evening, and her willingness to play,
coupled with her skill and enthusiasm,
did much to make the entire program.
The Denver Colored Civic Associa-
ton is vastly indebted to Miss Ander-
son, for never have we encountered
young girl who responded more read
lily to a call to service than did she
on this occasion. Then there was
Harry Townsend who put the pep"
into the community singing by intro
ducing several novel stunts that
caught the fancy of the merry throng
at once. One of the catchy musical
numbers was the characterization of
"Gld Black Joe" by that premier ar
tist, Curtis NJ. Harris, with the entire
body joining the chorus. Tremendous
applause greeted this sketch that
continued long after Mr.. Harris had
taken his seat. Another musical sur
prise was the Orpheus Lady Quar-
tette that appeared before the Col
ored Civic Association for the first
time. They rendered two very accep-
table numbers and were well received.
AS to the program and the banquet in
general, the COLORADO STATES
MAN is willing to go on record as say
ing that the association reached its
high water mark this year. If called
upon to give a reason for it we would
say that the adding of the name of
John Brown to that of the list Of he
roes to be honored, with Mrs. Ida De
Priest to handle the subject, was the
main contributing factor. Mrs. De-
Priest has long been favorite in the
social and intellectual circles of Den
yer. Something of inestimable value
is always expected wherever she ap-
pears upon a program. However, in
her treatise of the life and work of
John Brown last Monday night, she1
