FILIPINO MUST DIE
IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
(K NJ r Service \

New York, Nov. S.-Eulogia Loza.
do, a young Filipino, charged with
the murder of Blossom Martin, a
white girl, was found guilty of muir
der in the first degree, Saturday
morning. The jury retired the day
before at 1884 P. M. and deliberated
over ten hours.
The girl was murdered last June
in the home of physician who EN-.
ployed both of them.
While not Negro, Lozado charged
that he had been prosecuted by po-
licemen and detectives and as a re-
suit of the torture he had been sub
jected to he confessed that he had
deliberately killed the girl soon after
he was arrested. With the body OF
the young woman wrapped in a por-
tierre Lozado was in the act of
throwing it into the river when he
was taken into custody.
Testifying in his own defense, the
little brown-skinned man told the
jury that he and the girl had had in
discreet relations, that he had given
her money and that he killed her in
self-defense. The girl, he further
stated, had attacked him with a
butcher knife the night he strangled
her to death.
He will be sentenced Friday.

OFFICER HOMER COINS
ARRESTS AUTO THIEVES
Victims Were Scheduled to
Appear on Fight Card at
Rose Room

The fight card at the Rose Room of
the Recreation Hall, Hamm building,
was called off last Tuesday night be-
cause the two men who were sched-
uled thereon were arrested at II
o'clock Sunday night, by Officer j.
Homer. Coins, for stealing automo-
biles. The two men, with three COM
panions were about to enter a stolen
car at Sherburne avenue and Dale
street, when Officer Coins, attracted
by their peculiar actions, tried to
stop them. They refused to stop, and
three shots were fired by the officer
before they could be caught. Three
men escaped at first, but after ar
resting the first two, the officer went
back to the district and brought the
other three to Jail. Their cases came
up Tuesday morning. They waived
examination, and were bound 'eyer to
the district court. The daily papers
gave accounts of this incident, but
did not mention the name Of the Off
Ger who made the arrests. Officer
Coins is. to be commended for his ac-
ton in this case. He has not only
added a feather TO his capn as far
as his position is concerned, but he
has made good cleanup of joyriders
in the University and Dale district.

The new political league got under
way when a large number of colored

residence, 1921 Colne street, Thurs
day evening, November 8.

pose of organizing a political party
that will best serve the interest of
the colored voters Of this great COM
monwealth.

temporary chairman and Atty. O. j.
Smith temporary secretary. The
name of the organization was unani-
mously designated the Colored Vot-
|ers League.

STARS HEAD new SHOW
Cast Peeved Because They Were
Forced to Suffer a Cut
i'm Salaries
Courier Service.)

New York, Nov. MANY were
the comments last week when a
large number of the people with the
"How Gomez" company were seen
on Seventh avenue. The sudden ar
rival of these people at time when
it was expected they would be on the
road filling dates which, we under
stand, had been secured shortly be-
fore they left here, caused Dame Ru-
NOR to come forth with all kinds of
wordy speculations, and it did not
take long for us to get at the seat
of the trouble.
1t would seem that a number of
the people with the show felt ag-
grieved because they were forced to
suffer 20 per cent cut in their sala-
ries, the owner Of the show, Bert
Harris, stipulating that as soon as
business "picked up" he would re-
turn to the old scale. Business
"picked up" in a short while to the
satisfaction of almost score of the
people, and as they went on the
stage nightly and saw what they in
sist were "big houses" they could
not understand why cut in salary
should be maintained.
Of course, we have not heard of
any of these people questioning the
financial resources of the same man
they hailed with so much acclaim a
short time before, going to the ex-
tent of making him fine present on
the occasion of his wedding, and it
was quite a shock to the said Harris
when he found that he either had to
"come through" with full salaries or
close the show. Close it was and the
people lost no time getting back to
little old New York. 1t is said that
the action of quite number with the
production did not square with their
professed love of Mr. Harris when it
became known that drastic measures
had to be restorted to if the show
had to remain out, and we understand
that Eddie Hunter, George Cooper
and a few others in important parts
felt somewhat aggrieved at the hasty
action of certain of their fellow
workers.
Hunter and Cooper, we have it,
will head a tabloid musical offering
at Mrs. Downs New Lincoln theater
commencing next week. Knowing
them as we'll as we do, we feel GER
tain that whatever they have to offer
will be received with great delight by
Lincoln audiences and we would not
be surprised to see them remaining
much longer than the two weeks usu-
ally allotted to these kind of offerings
at this house. Hunter has a number
of little musical comedy skits that
would find favor at the Lincoln, and
with the assistance of George Coop
er, they should duplicate the run of
Henderson and Mason.

FRENCH DESERT DUBOIS
PAN-AFR|CAN MEETING
Detection in Ranks of Congress
Result in French Deputy
Resigning
(Afro-American News Service.)

(Afro-American News Service.)
New York, Nov. 10.-Dr. w. E. B.
Dubois is on the high seas en- route
London, England, where he ex-
,ects to call the Third Pan-African
Congress together November 8 and 9.
IN adjourned session will be held
later in Lisbon, Portugal.
Detection in the ranks of the con-
ress resulting in the resignation of
VI. .Gratien, Candace, deputy from
Iaudeloupe in the French parlia-
nent, and M. Issac Beton, assistant
orofessor~in a Partisan lycee, presi-
lent and secretary, respectively, of
he congress, has not daunted DR.. Du
3ois, who sailed from this port last
week confident that the London meet
;ng will in some respect surpass the
)ther annual sessions, both held in
Paris.
Colored Frenchmen are said to be
chary of the Pan-African congress
because they fear it may have the
radical tendencies developed by the
Garvey movement in America. They
are also satisfied with the manner in
which the French government is deal
ing with the colonies in Africa and
cannot understand the Race problem
as it exists in other parts of Africa
and in the United States.
DR.. Dubois before sailing was not
worried by the withdrawal of the
president and secretary of the con-
gress. The call and the organization
of the fret two conferences had been
altogether in his hands, and he felt
that even if the French dropped out,
he could succeed in rallying other
European black and white who would
fill their places.
Not a Racial Movement
Explaining to the European press
his reason in calling the Third Pan
African Congress, DR.. Dubois said:
ut has seemed to many, thinking
Negroes in this part of the universe,
that something should be done to
bring the Negro world into common
understanding and acquaintanceship
in order that in conjunction with the
advancing thought of the rest of the
world they should work for the uplift
and emancipation of black folk. This
is the thought underlying the Pan
African movement. It has, of course,
aroused widespread curiosity and
suspicion.
"Many have thought that like Pan
Germanism and Pan-Slavisim and
Pan-Islamism the Negroes were
forming a militant movement of hate
against the world. This is not true.
Of course every group movement is
tempted toward group selfishness and
the dislike and depreciation of it's
neighbors, but Pan-Africanism holds
a higher ideal. 1t hopes to bring
about the peace of world democracy
through the inclusion of all in oppo-
sition to the idea of aristocracy of
races where the backward are to be
permanently ruled by the forward.
We American Negroes therefore hope
that the third congress although
small and tentative may mark a step
forward in the development of man
kind"

Mr.. Howard would entirely recuper-

ices were held for him Sunday, No
vember 4, in the chapel of the Kist-
ner mortuary, Waterloo, Iowa, con-

DEBS DISL|KES NO man
BECAUSE OF HIS COLOR
SOcialistic Leader Addresses
Mixed Audience at Casino
in New York
TX N F. Seryice.)

New York, Nov. 8.-Eugene V.
Debs. Socialist leader, addressed
about 1000 people in the Common
wealth Casino, last Tuesday evening
on "The Negro Problem" His audi
ence was composed of both white and
colored citizens.
The noted Socialist said that he
was thankful that at no time had NE
ever experienced a dislike for his
fellowman because of creed, nation
ality or color. "From the beginning
of my life my heart has been with
the colored people on basis Of COM
mon equality. I want nothing for
myself that they haven't got. If
one of them shines my shoe, then l
am perfectly willing to shine his, too:
If were not then I'd be his moral
inferior"
Mr.. Debs told of his experience in
the Atlanta penitentiary, and how ne
fought discrimination against colored
prisoners there. 81 left Atlanta" he
said, feeling as if 5000 prisoners
were all members of my own family.
There's not one I'd not have admit
ted to my own family" .,...
"The race question" he continued,
resolves itself into a class question.
The great employers of labor want
cheap labor, and they don't care
whether it is wrapped up in a white
hide or a black one" 49,
GAS long as you are willing to be
menials and servants and slaves
that's all you'll be. You must unite
and stand together. As long as you
drift apart you'll receive contempt,
and you'll deserve it. You have
brain, intelligence; you have just as
mucn in you that is as capable as the
white man. Use is"
Debs was presented with large
bouquet of flowers carried by two
little girls-one white, the other
black. He kissed them both.
Other speakers were, James Oneal
Judge Jacob Panken, A. Phillip Ran
dolph, editor Of the Messenger; Mrs,
Lucille Randolph, his wife, who i

to Honor Dead Soldiers
November IL
FIFTH ANNIVERSARY CALL
Every Church in Country to
Appeal for Pardon of
Houston Martyrs

Boston, Mass, Nov. 3.-Today the
following fifth Armistice Day ami
versay request to the Race was is
sued by the National Headquarters of
the National Equal Rights League.
Fellow Colored Americans:
Let not, if we of colored America
can help it, our soldiers of the World
War to have died in vain. AS the 5th
anniversary of the Armistice Day
victory impends let us, without
sloth, call upon the nations head for
that pledged world democracy for
the colored millions of Americans
whose soldiers fought and died with
loyalty and courage and helped win
the victory.
October 6, 1923, the National
Equal Rights League, standing be-
fore the President of the United
States in the White House, read to
him the Races petition for redress
of wrongs. Putting the petition in
the Presidents hands, the league
spokesman made argument, stress
ing these two measures as directly
in the Presidents jurisdiction, as
follows:
"To free by pardon or on parole
the colored soldiers of the gallant
24th in Fort Leavenworth federal
prison already incarcerated too long
for retaliation (poorly proven or not
proven at alD, against goading in
suit and provocation and insult to
women of their race"
"To take cognizance of the segfe-
cation remaining from the last
Southern democratic administration,
or enlarged since, of the colored en-
ployees of the federal government
itself in the very federal government
buildings, in the executive depart
ments of which you are the supreme
head, and to abolish it altogether by
executive or somewise thus undoing
direct humiliation and hurtful degra-
dation of citizens by the U. S. A. it.
self. Most earnestly do we pray this
as to your department and pray you
to tell US now"
The league appeals to every col
ored church in the u. S. A. to OBJ
serve Armistice Day, November II,
1923, by sending it's request as a
church through the church club to
President Coolidge at the White
House to pardon the colored soldier
martyr prisoners; to all colored citi-
zens to so write or telegraph the
President, November 10 or IL; and to
every Race body, civic, social, liter
ary, fraternal or political to do so
within Armistice week. These mes
sages must necessarily help the sig
natured petition movement already
under way. Every agency should
work for these martyrs and Armis-
tice Day action has it's own special
weight.
Especially does the league urge
that in all messages there be includ-
ed a strong protest against the con-
tinued segregation of colored clerks
of the federal government itself,
which the league investigated on Oc-
tober and found to be a dastardly
fact. A universal demand sent the
President for the discontinuance of
this violation of true democracy is a
vital necessity if we are to be true
to our soldiers and hero dead on the
Eth anniversary of the great victory
which they helped to win.
Act now, as one for all, and all for
one, for rights and liberty.

RIGHTS LEAGUE.

HOW TO CATCH FAKE
STOCK statesmen

Some state bankers associations
are distributing an investors ques-
tionnaire with the idea of protecting
purchasers of securities from fake
stock statesmen.
whenever you are solicited to pur-
chase stock or other securities, use this
QUESTIONABLE before investing any of
your funds" says one of these. ''The
QUESTIONABLE was compiled to protect
the small investor and to emphasize
the necessity of . investigating thor
oughly every investment proposition
before placing any money therein.
When you have been furnished with
the information called for in this
questionable, take it to any one of
the banking institutions in your COM
munity and get its opinion of the stock
offered. If the stock salesman refuses
to fill out this QUESTIONABLE, have
nothing more to do with his PROPOSE
ton, as it is evident that he is foster.
ing fraudulent promotion" -.
The questionable pins the salesman
down to answering the following
questions:
