CARNEY MUST PAY BILL
OF $1,7O0 FOR JAZZ

New York, Mar. 16.-Jazz must be
paid for, a jury in the City Court de-
cided yesterday in the case of William
Isles, colored, against the Universal
Negro Improvement Association and
the African Communities League.
On behalf aof eighteen fellow dis
pensers of syncopated harmony, Isles
sued for $1,700 due. the Black Star
Line Band for providing the above
mentioned harmony at association
meetings in Liberty Hall.
The band severed relations with the
association last fall. It has been
playing every night for meetings in
Liberty Hall, but objected when asked
to play at a Democratic meeting in
the same place-nothing against the
Democrats, just a case of not believ-
ing in overtime work without over
time wages. =
But when that matter was settled
by the bands disbanding, there was
still some $1,700 in wages due. The
Jury took twenty-five minutes. to an
nounce verdict of $1,739.57 for the
plaintiff. 3 =

Joseph P. Loney, Clarence A. Maley
and Lawrence J. Doran, each of whom
started work with the American Ma
tional bank as messenger, each Of
whom attended Cretin high school in
st. Paul and each of whom served in
the American forces in the World
war, have been elevated to positions
as assistant cashiers of the bank. Mr..
Loney has been with the bank for
Sixteen years, Mr.. Maley, for four
teen years, and Mr.. Doran for thir-
teen years. Mr.. Loney is 80 years old
and the others, 80 years old.
The announcement of promotions a
few days ago by Louis III. Ickler,
president, is thought to have been
the first when a St. Paul bank ap-
pointed three assistant cashiers at
one time, at least in naming three
former messenger boys as officers.
Mr.. Loney had been chief clerk and
Mr.. Doran, auditor. Mr.. Maley was
and will remain as manager of the
bond department.
The officers of the bank, as chang
ed by the recent additions, are: Otto
Bremen, chairman of the board; Louis
II. Ickler, president; Charles II. F.
Smith, vice president; Harry B.
Humason, cashier; p. A. F. Smith,
Shirley B. Frederick, Joseph p.

ence j. Doran, assistant cashiers.

solution of the problem in their own
way. -.. .....'..
When Garvey acknowledged that
the Black Star line was defunct, or
at least, when he could not show any
thing for the funds spent, which is
the same thing, these people stayed
with him. H.. .
When Garvey went South and said
that he believed in segregation, these
people, some of them editors, stayed
with him.
When Carney agreed with the Khan
and it's principles, and intimated that
he was following the same methods
with black people, many people still
found excuse for him.
When Garveyites in New Orleans
killed DR.. Eason, there were still some
who contended for the many-titled
West Indian.
We have been in the tolerant group.
Never have we been bitter against
Garvey, although we have never
wholly approved of his program.
This latest news from New Orleans
is the last straw, however. We are
through. There are no ifs and 'ands'
about this episode. There may be
some question in a Garvey mind as to
whether a, membership card on the
person of murderer is proof that
members of the organization commit
ted the murder, but there can be no
doubt in the simplest mind that a
signed letter is conviction enough.
Garveyites like Jim Crow laws, Gar
veyites believe in servility, in staying
in what the other man considers
"your places" in other words, Garvey-
tie is another way of saying click
spittle" and "Uncle Tom"
Carney has become. more than a
ludicrous braying ass. He, his doc
trines, and his followers have become
a positive menace to the welfare and
progress ofof the colored American,
They must go, and the faster the
better.

MOTION MUMBLEs
NOTION MUMBLES.
(The Chicago Whip.)

President Robert Russo Motion has
the unfortunate knack of invariably
and proverbially saying the wrong
thing at the wrong place and wrong
time. Now he says, in Springfield,
ILL.,, tramping ground of Lincoln and
Lovejoy, that never before "did the
black people in America have such
confidence in their white neighbors as
they have now" How does Motion
get that way? How does he think
so in the face of the desertion of the
Republican party, the rise of the Ku
Klux Khan, the defeat of the Dyer
bill. and the onward march of lynch
ing plus the spread of discrimination
and prescription and barred gates of
Harvard? Motion always misrepre-
sents his people. Now the white peo-
pie believe that we are satisfied with
these conditions. Motion with his
cringing, covering philosopsy GER
tainly is doing his race irreparable
injury. He, in all fairness, looms up
as a Nemesis and menace to our
cause. - .-a''-.. 49,
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1923-03-17

there are. serious violations Of our
constitutional rights as citizens. These
must be brought to the attention of
the public truthfully and wisely, but
fearlessly, for fearless publicity is
the foe of all injustice. The race
press has been a power for good.
Adequately supported it can be made
of even greater service. In every
community where we have a worthy
press, it ought to be underwritten and
adequately supported by those whose
battles it is fighting. It was the ap-
parently hopeless campaig n begun
several years ago by the Negro news
papers against lynching that has at
last aroused the entire country
against this menace to our American
civilization. The battle for the races
civil status is now on and the race
press is bravely and >courageously
fighting that battle. Support race
newspapers.

The Chicago Tribune correspondent
at Constantinople tells how the big
shipping companies robbed the
christians" who, during the recent
scare, sought to~get away from Con-
stantinople. .a
The nominal fare from the Piraeus
was rs Turkish pounds, but the ship
ping companies demanded 90 pounds
sterling for standing room only and
a 80 pound bonus for every ticket
sold. The net trick was to refuse to
book passages for anywhere nearer
than Marseiilles or Liverpool and COL
lect 300 or 400 pounds for a ticket.
And they told the Christians that
if they remained in Constantinople
they would be robbed by the Turks.

KU KLUx PURPOSES AND
METHODS
.(Chicago Daily News.

,(Chicago Daily News.)
In the meetings that have been held
in Chicago this week to consider
measures for combating in influence
of the Ku-Klux Klan, much has de-
veloped in condemnation of that or
ganization and -onthing to justify its
existence. The most telling indict-
ment, of course, was brought by Gov.
M, Parker of Louisiana, in whose
state have developed the worst fea-
lures of the dangerous khan situation.
At Mer Rouge, kidnapping and murder
of the most atrocious sort were exc
cuted by an invisible force set up in
opposition to the laws Of organized
society.
Doubtless among the many thou
sands Of the khan throughout the
United States there is high per-
centage that holds the honest belief
that the organization is useful and
lawful. Of course they are mistaken
The khan may have legal and laudable
purposes, but it sets about achieving

It is chiefly effective through the fear
that it inspires by its secret tyran-
ny. It employs the methods of the
Neapolitan camorra and the Sicilian
malta. Like the camorrists, the menu
bers OF the khan take an oath Of
secrecy and fidelity and, like the
camorrists, some members of the khan
have not hesitated to commit any
crime up to and including murder.

crimes as have been charged against

GETTING UNDER WAY

That local organizations are not
sound asleep on the question of the
influx of southern colored labor is
demonstrated by the announcement
that the St. Paul branch of the Bust
ness League has authorized it's presi-
dent to invite all organizations of the
city including the churches, to be
represented at a conference on ways
and means of caring for the migrants
News comes also that the Helpers
have made and have already printed
housing cards.
It remains for other organizations
to fall in line, to come together, make
joint plans, and cooperate in carrying
out the program. Spring is not far
off; and the people are coming with
out a doubt. Pittsburgh is being
swamped. The housing situation
there has become so acute that the
secretary of the Urban League has
issued a warning to prospective new
corners not to come until provision
has been made for their housing.
President Howell of the Business
League has said that that organiza-
ton is not seeking to lead anything,
but rather wants to encourage COOP
Grafton in meeting a problem that is
confronting the community as a
whole. This spirit is to be commend
ed. 1t is the kind that will put the
job across. The movement is getting
under way; let's hear about the con-
ference soon.

"cHILDISH" AND JASMINE"
Washington Sentinel. }


The attitude of Chancellor Charles
Wesley Flint, of Syracuse University,
respecting the proposal of the Senior
Council, a student governing body, to
limit the admission of Jewish students
to a definite number, constitutes a
severe rebuke to the position taken
on a similar question by President
Lowell, of Harvard University. In
the former case, the proposal was
characterized as Childish" and
Jasmine" and unqualifidely disposed
of in the following official pro-
:'No limitation of the
number of Jewish students will be
tolerated in this institution" while in
the case Of the president of Harvard,
there has been a spineless subservi-
ency to the spirit of caste and racial
prejudice by not only limiting and
discouraging the admission Of Jewish
students. but by placing ban on all
who cannot boast of unadulterated
Anglo-Saxon extraction. Considering
the splendid record Harvard has hith-
erto borne for the exhibition of liber-
atty toward all who sought the bene-
fit of her educational facilities, her
present attitude stands in disgraceful
contrast with that of Syracuse, con-
shutting blot upon it's own noble
traditions. Of all institutions of
learning, Harvard is the last toward
which the best thought of the nation
would look for~the establishment and
perpetuation of determinations on &C
count or race or color. It is to be
hoped that with the termination of
management under the present presi-
dent there will be return to the
policy which has made the institution
great. , -~

We NEED IT

Considerable discussion regarding
the necessity of continuing the work
of the w. w. C. A. club center at
500 w. Central avenue has arisen
during the past two weeks because of
the visit of Mrs. Cordella VIM on
survey of colored work here.
Ever since the organization of the
club center, various individuals and
organizations have agitated for the
discontinuance of the center. In the
main, their objections have been made
on hearsay and personal prejudice
rather than on the results of an in
telligent investigation.
Any investigation prompted by the
desire to accomplish the thing most
beneficial for the community con-
cerned, will find faults, of course.
There will be criticisms, and they will
be just; but any such investigation
is bound to establish that the good
accomplished by the center has far
out-weighed whatever harm may have
resulted from its sins of omission or
commission. Some of the criticism
and dissension has come because of a
Lack of social mindedness and coop
Grafton on the part of the community;
some has come from personal differ
ences with the workers in charge, and
some has come from the mistakes of
the workers on the ground.
These things are of the kind that
can be corrected, however, and should
not blind the people to the fact that
an organization such as the center is
an actual need Of the neighborhood
On question. The work of the girls
work secretary with the clubs of girls
of various ages is proof enough that
good is being accomplished. It is
openly acknowledged that girls as
well as boys won't stay home. Is il
not better that they have portion OF
their leisure time devoted to whole
some activity and supervised recre-
alton than that they spend it any
where away from home? i
If we don't need the center, we
need something mighty like it.
