mated Objectionable features in the

from Mr.. Banzhaf advising us that

in The Birth of Nation have been
made. We will have our inspectors

ders concerning this picture have been
fully complied with. The same pro-
cedure was adopted with this film as
with all others except that a hearing
was granted which has not been done

lief that the federal government can.
not long delay taking cognizance OF
the lynching situation in America

Mr.. Dorsey's letter is in part as fol.

81 am disappointed that the United
States congress did not pas the Dyer
anti-lynching bill.
The states have had ample oppor-
tunity to pass laws for the suppress
sion Of this eva, and have failed te
take adequate steps. I very much
hope that now the states will exer-
else their rights. but i have little
hope that this, will be the case.
cannot believe that the federal gov

hope they will not. Certain it is that

something, If the states in the future

Official
Is Assassinated

New Orleans, La, Jan. IL (Crusa-
der Service). DR.. j. H. Eason,
preacher, and former high official of
the invisible Garvey empire, died in
Charity hospital Friday from bullet
wounds received as he was leaving a
meeting Monday night in a church
where he had denounced Marcus Gar
vey as a menace to the colored race
and revealed the secret vicious work
ings of the Carney crowd. Persons
who attended the meeting said three
men fired the shots that killed DIR.
Eason. The victim identified Fred
Dyer and William Shakespeare, both
painters, as his assailants and police
ook his last words to be used in a
statement against them when they
are brought to trial.
DR.. Eason told the police, just be-
fore his death, the attack was the
second on his life since October for
his criticism of Marcus Garvey. He
said he left the Universal "Negro"
Improvement Association because of
Garvey's methods.
/ Dyer denied knowledge of the crime
but declared "Eason had it coming
to him. He attacked Garvey, who is
trying to do good. Eason is a dis
grunted exile from our association.
He was banished. Then he began to
attack Garvey, and so somebody who
evidently thought he had good
reason to take crack at Eason de-
cided to get him. / don't blame him"
The constitution of the Universal
"Negro" Improvement Association
condones crime when committed in
the interest of the association.

A branch of the Ku Klux Khan has

The anti-"Negro" feeling of white

that the French people consider as

sRorcHNER'S PHARMACY

A. statement to THE APPEAL
from a reputable woman in the COM
munity sets forth that the proprietor
of Brotchner's Pharmacy was heard to
remark that the assassin of Atty.
O'Brien was a 'nigger,' because if he
had not been one he would have
known better.
The opinion, if it can be styled that,
is ridiculous, of course. It is mani
festation of ignorance so great that
it is hard to believe it exists in a
rational adult. To any normal mind
the name of the assailant, Bischiglia
would disqualify colored man, and
if any doubt remained it should have
been dispelled with the appearance of
the mans picture in the Dispatch
So much for the absurdity of the
opinion.
The language and the implication
about knowing better is decidedly bad
taste and bad business on Mr.. Brotch-
nefs part. At least sixty per cent
of his trade-perhaps more-is
colored. Here is a chance for colored
people to talk the only language the
white man Observation-Disclosures. Our
own Morris drug store is a block
away on Central, and another fair
pharmacy is two blocks down Rondo
on Grotto. Colored people do not
have to trade at Dale and Rondo, do
they?
