YOUNG COLORED LAWYERS SCORE IN BIG CASE

James ("Bossy"D Patterson, OF
Petersburg, gets new trial. He was
charged with the murder of Mr.. Irwin
Seid, In Petersburg, last January. He
was tried in the Hastings Court OF
that city and a great sensation was
raised when Lawyers Wml f. Denny,
c. A. Mckenzie and b. F. Harris ap.
peared at that bar to represent him.
1t is reported that the Jews raised
a fee Of 81 100000 to pay Mr. Richard
Mann, the noted criminal lawyer o,
that city, to prosecute Patterson. Pat
terson attempted to prove an alibi
and did succeed in proving a splendid
reputation by some of the best white
and colored citizens OF Dinwiddia
County and the City of Petersburg, bu:
Notwithstanding that fact, he was
tried by jury, found guilty and sen
fenced to be electrocuted July 7th OF
last year.
His attorneys appealed his case to
tie Supreme Court and as a result th'
Attorney General confessed error and
the Judges remanded Patterson's ease
back to the Hastings Court. This
gives Patterson new trial and saves
his life and plants one more star II,
the crowns of his young criminal
lawyers.
1t will be remembered that Law
yer Denny has figured in many crilni
nal cases Of some note within the
last twelve years and he has receu:n
been employed to defend Moses Jones
in Chesterfield County, who stands
charged with criminal assault On i;
little white girl.
Not withstanding the fact that Mr
Denny is kept busy in the criminal
world he finds time for civic and re-
ligious work. He is president of the n
A. A. G. p, and also president of the
Local Branch of the Alumni Associat
ion Of Howard University.

FIRST MEETING OF NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF COLORED
FAIRS.

DR.. John II. Love. Raleigh. N. c.
President of the National Association
of COlored Fairs, has issued a call
for the first annual meeting of the
Association to be held at Norfolk. Va.
FEBRUARY 22nd. The Association was
organized last August at Norfolk dur,
ing the meeting of the National Negro
Business League. with the idea of a
closer cooperation of the Colored Fair
Associations Horse Show Associations
and owners Of Amusement Parks ana
Beaches which for the present will
compose It's membership.
DR.. Love states that there Is quite n
bit Of work to be done at the first
annual meeting towards completing
the policy Of the Association, adopting
the Constitution and Bylaws ana
formulating some plans whereby the
fairs can be operated on different cir
cults, having consecutive dates, In
order to minimize the cost of operat-
ion and at the same time increase the
quality Of free amusement attractions
and induce the national exhibitors OF
merchandise, farm and agricultural
exhibits to place their wares on exhibit
tion at the colored fairs.
This has not been feasible in the
past owing to such a wide difference
in the dates on which the colored fairs
have been held and the cost OF trans.
portation and 1ay-offs. Then there Is
the question of booking the colored
free amusement attractions and en-
couraging the organization of coiored
carnival companies and concession
aires to operate at the colored fairs
and amusement parks.
The program ct the meeting will
also include addresses by several we'll
informed and experienced men ON sub
jects that pertain to the various de-
partments connected with the operat-
ing Of fairs.

According to the ministers and we-
fare workers all of this is going on
with the knowledge of the police, who
they claimed are making practically
no effort to clean up these districts.
Rev. II. c. Bailey pastor of a church
located in Central avenue, asserted,
This question is much broader than
Cleveland. It's O. matter of the morale
Of the south being transplaBted in the
north. In the south every colored gir!
is considered the legitimate prey ol
white men and often black With the
influx. OF coiored people from the
south the same moral situation is be-
ing set up. The type of Negro seen in
these districts is the scum of the south
and Cleveland seems to have gotten a
considerable number"
William r Conners director of the
Cleveland Urban League said, "The
problem is not a racial problem at all.
It's an age-old problem. Both races
equally at fault. 1t seems to me that
there is lax supervision in the schools
somewhere. / may be a small town
man, but I know that in Pennsylvania
where I lived for a time. the children
were considered under the care of
their parents from the time they left
home until they arrived at school
grounds. From that time until they re
turned home they were under the care
of their teachers. Closer supervision
on the part Of the parents and the
teachers will do much to rid the city
of this evil"
