Marcus Garvey Is
Granted Bail By
u. S. Court Judge
Federal Attorney Hayward
Consents to Release of
U. N. 1. A. Head
Pending Appeal

Garvey, as president general Of the
Universal Negro Improvement Associ-
alton, provisional president of Africa,
and general manager of the Black Star
Steamship Company, was convicted of
using mails to defraud and given five
years in the federal prison at Leaven-
worth, with a fine of $1,000, the case
going to trial on May Is, and being
concluded June 1S. He was remanded
to the Tombs prison on June %, and
immediate steps were taken to perfect
an appeal.
Former efforts to secure Garvey's
release on bail We're futile. Recently,
Garvey retained George Gordon Battle
as his attorney and the effort to OBJ
tain bail was renewed. Federal Judge
Mack is in Europe and it was neces-
sary for United States Attorney Will
liam Hayward to cable him that
there was no objection in the federal
attorneys office to granting Garyey
bail. Judge Mack cabled his consent
and Judge Manton was asked to fix
the amount.
The charge against Garvey was
based on sale of stock in the Black
Star Line, and three others were in
dicted with their leader, but they were
acquitted. When the case went to
trial on May IS, Cornelius McDougald
was the attorney for Garvey, but on
the second day of the trial Garvey dis
missed McDougald and acted as his
own counsel.
1t was thought that all requirements
would be met and Garvey would be
free on Wednesday. The appeal is to
be argued before the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, probably in
October when the court resumes de-
liberations, and as the calendar of that
court is clear, it is thought that
quick decision will be reached.-New
York Age.

SARAH REcToR'S NAME DRAWN
IN ISLANDER CASE

Mrs. Florence Edmondson, 3S0S
Rhodes avenue, housekeeper at the
Vincennes hotel, was taken to the
Stanton avenue police station for ques-
tioning when Kenneth Campbell, hus-
band of Mrs. Sarah Rector Campbell,
wealthy Oklahoma oil field owner, re-
quested her detention in connection
with the disappearance of large dia-
mond stickpin.
Attorney Elisha Scott Of Topeka,
Kan, who was in the lobby of the ho-
tel when the arrest took place, accom-
panied Mrs. Edmondson to the station.
When released she requested him to
file suit against Mr.. and Mrs. Camp
bell for SANDER and false arrest. Mrs.
Edmondson is well known in Chicago
and has been employed by the hotel
for six months.-Chicago Defender.

BLACK AND WHITE SHOULD COOP
ERATEFOR GOOD HOUSING, SAYS
COMMISSIONER MCDOWELL

~ ANSAS CITY, Kans.-Chicago's
n commissioners of public welfare,
Mary e. Mcdowell, speaking be-
fore the annual conference here of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colorado People, urged that
the family, the cornerstone of Ameri-
can life, be protected by proper hous-
ing for both white and colored people,
and urged both races to cooperate in
obtaining it. Commissioner Mcdowell
said in part:
"Overcrowding in homes breeds i'm
morality as well as sickness. Grim
inal germs are found in dark, over
crowded rooms where every natural
function is performed in public. Pri-
vacy is necessary to the young II
they are to keep their minds clean.
We only need to be Indifferent and
simply neglect the human plant in its
growing period to produce tough or
a criminal Jacob Riis said very tru-
ly that the city tough is not born but
is manufactured by the tenement
house, the street and the alley.
Because of abnormal conditions in
many cities, we are compelled to con-
slider the housing of the colored peo-
pie as if it were an emergency health
problem Prejudice has made hous-
ing an emergency matter that has to
be met by both races, black and white,
cooperating to secure for all the chill
dren of all the people the best condi-
tions of living.
'Every child has certain inalienable
rights, the right to be born and reared
in rooms that have sunshine, fresh air
and space; the right to an education !;
the right to play and work under con-
ditions that develop, not stunt, body
and soul. The nation also has the
right to demand these rights for every
child of every complexion. Dark rooms
are a menace to health and to porals
in any house where family is crowd
ed into a few rooms. Germs of i'm
morality are bred in darkness and in
overcrowding quite as much as tuber-
culosis germs.
"The rumor that Negroes depreciate
property is only a half truth. Col
ored people have been compelled to
enter neighborhoods after whites had
begun to move out. Wabash avenue
in Chicago illustrates this point. The
white people wanted to go to the
North Shore, leaving behind very good
buildings, which then became the
homes Of colored people, but the de-
probation began when the white peo-
pie first became ambitious to join the
Lake Shore society and moved from
the neighborhood."

See Scheme
To Rob Rich
Boy In Suit

Washington, d. c., Sept. Another
angle in the famous Ingram guardian
ship fight was brought to light recent
ly when Ellis Bruner of Oklahoma
filed suit in the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia for $4,000
against the estate of Leonard d. In
gram, reputed to be one of the richest
boys in the United States According
to the papers in the Bruner suit, Ellis
Bruner, 22-year-old son of Sank and
Hattie Bruner, while riding in the au-
tomobile owned and driven by Ingram
as an invited guest, was killed in an
accident. This happened in August,
1921. Young Ingram was seriously in
jured in this accident also.
Later Leonard, with his mother,
Mrs. Minerva Jones, and family, moved
to Washington, where Mrs. Jones had
herself, with Capt. Campbell C. John
son, appointed guardian of the person
of her minor son and his estate They
then instituted proceedings to have all
personal property in the estate, which
is valued at more than half a million
dollars, removed from Oklahoma to the
District of Columbia. This action
aroused the white guardians in Okla
homa who had been appointed by the
courts of that Jurisdiction and who
were getting wealthy through their un-
scrupulous handling of the estate. The
direct result was the filing of the Bru-
ner suit.
There is reason to believe, Okla
homa who had been appointed by the
though Leonard's uncle, is being
spurred on in his suit and even fl
nanced by white interests who would
not like to see the property taken out
of their grasp.

Fine Porter
for Color"
Not Offense

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. Purcell
Brown, Pullman porter, who was ar
rested recently charged with attempt
ing to assault Mrs. Angelina PirrOne,
white woman of Los AngeIes, Calf,
while she was in his car in Buffalo,
en- route from New York to her home,
was fined 500 by Judge Woltz in the
city court last week. AS the judge i'm
posed his fine upon the porter he in
formed him that he did not fine him
because he believed him guilty, but to
caution him not to encourage white
women who were fascinated by him.
During the trial it was brought out
that Mrs. Pironne had continually
made advances toward Brown and that
she returned to his car hours before
thine for the train to leave Buffalo.
The arrest occurred when a detective
came into the car and caught the
white woman and the porter alone.
Before taking Brown to the station the
officer called Mrs. Pironne outside the
car and talked to her. 1t is then that
she made the charges which he at
tempted to prove, but unsuccessfully,
in court.
Investigation disclosed that Brown
had a splendid record with the Pull
man company and that his family con-
nections were excellent. There was
nothing brought out at the trial that
could be construed as leading to his
guilt of the charge placed against him,
but the court proceeded to use the 'roy-
al prerogative of an American judge,
and so Brown was fined 500 as a
warning to keep white women from
running after him.

|HlCAGO, sept. lO-DlSllluSlOn-
ment trails the deliberations of
the Negro Democrats, who met
here last week to organize an auXil-
iarly of the national Democratic party
We say disillusionment advisedly, be-
cause there prevail insistent indica-
tions that the organizers themselves
have ample instructions from the Dem
Ocratic leaders as to how far they
might go toward aiding and abetting
the Democratic party and just what
they may say louder than a whisper.
Maj. A. E. Patterson, president of
the new organization, plainly showed
that its purposes were to take cOlored
voters from the Republican party, but
not to induct them publicly into the
Democratic party, because the nation
al management of the Democrats could
not for a moment countenance any
such proceedings. The fundamental
of all Democratic principles is mo
Negro Need Apply" and without that
sinister slogan the party has no sig
nificance.
Consequently, Patterson pointedly
stated at the meeting that the colored
the Democratic party, but would not
participate in the Democratic name.
There is no doubling the functions of
the new junta-it is to act as a smoke
streen for the real activities of the
Democrats and pull their chestnuts
out of the fire, but this is to be ac-
complished as an accessory and not as
a part of the principal.
If Major Patterson's project is in
the interest of the Democratic party,
cover and camouflage and be called
Democratic organization? Why did
it change it's name from the National
Democratic League, which it really
means, to one which means nothing?
There's a reason. The Democratic
national organization dare not have a
colored unit bearing its name, and it
has lost no time making this clear to
its agents. The meeting in this city
was widely heralded as a convention
of the National Negro Democratic
League, composed of colored Demo-
Gratis, true and tried, unwashed and
rallying round the flag of
Vardaman, Underwood and Pat Harri- !
son. The delegates" came hither
with this end in view, but like st. Paul
on his famous journey down to Dam |
ascus they saw the light. If they were |
going to be Democrats they must be |
Democrats on the sly. They should |
not shout it from the housetops, high
ways, byways and hedges, but in the !
privacy of their closets. The shout
ing of a Negro Democrat is repulsive /,
to the rank and file of Democracy; the
very suggestion is contrary to its prin-
ciples, and it would not be tolerated.
The meeting here has served to take
the mock out of Democracy so far
as the colored voters are concerned.
There is no reason why the organiza
ton should not have borne the name of
the Democratic party but the impas-
sable objections of the Democratic
party itself. Anyone who attempts to
say differently is trifling with the in
telligence of the colored people.

Physicians Form
Plans to Reopen

annual session of the National Medi-

Battling Sikh Arrives

On Saturday, Sept. 1, Battling Sikh,
| former light heavyweight champion of
, the world, arrived in New York from
| France. Although a visitor to this
country, he was detained at Ellis Isl
and an an attempt was made to pre-
vent him from landing by classifying
him as an African, although he is
| citizen of France. Under the immigra
tion laws, the African quota of immi-
| grants to this country is four, and it
was thought that by classifying Sikh
as an African he could be prevented
from landing by saying that the quota
had been reached but it was found
that only two Africans had arrived
this year.
One of the daily papers on Sunday
published a picture of Sikh as he ap-
peared on his arrival with the caption,
Nerve" under it. These incidents,
and the action of officials of the box
ing commission would indicate that
Sikh is not a welcome visitor in this
country. At the Commonwealth Club
on Saturday night, he was one of the
principal attractions and although the
management of the club wanted to
have him introduced from the ring,
representatives of the boxing commits
sion present advised them not to do so.
He was not introduced to the public,
and left with his manager, apparently
angry, before the show was over.
However, he was introduced to d
group of colored newspaper men before
he left by II. v Edwards, the English
sprint champion, who conversed with
him fluently in French. To us Sikh
appears to be more intelligent than the
average fighter and certainly should
be given a fair trial in this country
before being barred. He will witness
the Dempsey-Firpo bout and hopes to
get chance to fight Dempsey or
Wills. He also wants return bout
with Mike McTigue in this country.
However, it is probable that he will be
matched to fight Kid Norfolk late this
fall and his future bouts will depend
upon his showing against Norfolk.
In contrast to the reception given
Sikh upon his arrival here, attention
should be called to the one given II.
V. Edwards, former 100 and 2OO-meter
champion of Great Britain, upon his
arrival here the week previous Ed
wards is also colored, but nevertheless,
received the warmest reception from
the A. A. U. officials and track stars
of this country. He is probably the
best educated athlete, white or col
ored, in America today, having gradu-
ated from universities in Germany and
England. He is also specially trained
as an accountant and hopes to enter
that field in this country.
We wish both athletes successful
sojourn here.-New York Age
