Arkansas Riot Cases
End Wit h Victory
for N. A. A. C. p.
Last Six of Twelve Colored
Farmers Sentenced to Death
Will Be Liberated

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The Ma
tional Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, 60 Fifth avenue, to-
day announced that the last of the
connection with the riot of 1919, in
Phillips county, Arkansas would short
ly be freed. OF the twelve men SEN
fenced to death, six were released by
order of the Arkansas Supreme Court.
The other six had their sentences re-
versed by the United States Supreme
Court to which the Advancement AS
sociation carried their cases after
three years of litigation. In lieu of re
trying these men. the Arkansas au--
thorities offered compromise of con-
12-year sentence, W ch leaves the
men eligible for parole this year as
they have already served one-third Of
their term. This compromise was ac-
cepted by the attorney for the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, and Governor
Thomas c. MacRae has committed the
sentences.
1t is further announced by the n. A.
A. C. p. that fifty-nine of the sixty
seven colored farmers sentenced to life
and long term imprisonment have been
freed. 1t is expected that the remain
ing eight men, for whom writs Of
habeas corpus have been applied, will
soon be released.
In connection with this announce
ment, the N. A A. c. P. through its
secretary, James Weldon Johnson, is
sued the following statement:
"The wild statements of a plotted
insurrection by Negro farmers of Ar
kansas, have now been disproved by
four years of court action. The ru-
mors, spread throughout the nation by
the press, that Negroes were organized
to massacre whites, are shown to have
been without foundation. 1t should be
remembered that although twelve Ne
groes were sentenced to death, and
sixty-seven to long terms of imprison-
ment, not one white man was pun
ished in connection with these disor-
ders in which hundreds of Negroes
met their death. All of the Negroes
will soon have been released, we hope
and expect. That is the best answer to
the kind of law and order INDUCED in
by the white people of Arkansas"

Negro Business
Progress

The following are excerpts, printed
in the Southern Workman, from an
address by DIR. r. r. Motion, president
of the National Business League, at
the meeting of the League in 1928:
When the National Negro Business
League was organized in Boston
twenty-four years ago the aggregate
number of business organizations,
corporate and individual, owned and
operated by colored people was not
more than 10000 with combined
capital of S10,OOO,OOO Today they
own and operate 10000 with a COM
bined capital of $6o,000,000. The Negro
owns in America more than $1,000
100000 worth of property real and
personal, whereas when the Declara-
tion of Independence was adopted, the
combined capital of the entire nation
was about $5O0,O0O,OOO
We have. now u successful Negro
banks. We should and could have
700. There are many cities with large
! NtSTo pOpulduOH where leaders In
business among Negroes could ac-
complish any reasonable business en-
terprise if it were properly managed.
Durham, Savannah, Atlanta, Rich
mond, Norfolk, New York, with many
others, are setting notable examples
in the possibilities of this race to ac-
complish large results.
Yet there are few people even to-
day who question the progress of the
Negro. Thank God, those people who
doubt the ability of the Negro to sue
ceed along business lines grow less
and less. We must keep in mind,
also, that there are people within the
race who sometimes thoughtlessly
question the ability of their race to
succeed; but there is no reason in the
world for any pessimism on the part
of anyone as to the Negro's ability
and determination to succeed along all
lines of human endeavor.

The Negro in Detroit

The Negroes in Detroit (of whom
there are about 6O,OOO) are among the
most thorough-going patriots in the
American Republic. With their Drawn
and brain they have aided materially
in the building of American institu-
tions and ideals. They speak the
mother tongue and are familiar with
American customs and laws. Through
long years of toll Negroes have been
well prepared for the arduous labor
of the future, and from the practical
experience thus gained their race Is
likely to become eventually one of the
most potent factors in American in
dustrial life.
The Negro population of Detroit re
mained practically at standstill for

GOVERNOR SMITH WELCOMES MI.
GRATING SOUTHERN NEGROES

New York, Nov. 19.-Gov. AL Smith
tonight told a mass meeting of Ne
groes, held in the interests of those of
their race who are migrating from the
South to the North and West, that ''if
your relatives in the South want to
come North and will be as clean liv-
ing, hard-working members of society
as you are, we will be glad to have
them. Anyone willing to work, who is
fairly intelligent, is an asset. I wish
your movement all possible success.
Call on me and will help either in
word or deed"

DEcoRATEs TWO NEGROES
One Giving His Life; Other His Eearn-
ings to Help Others

Paris, France, Nov. 13.-The French
government is about to decorate two
cOlored Frenchmen whose interest in
their fellow beings induced one to sac
rifice possibly his life and the other
his earnings. One, Emile Vosgier, lies
dangerously near death in Paris hos
pital, having voluntarily thrown him
self in the path of a motor truck to
save the lives of some young children
he was tutoring.
Vosgier, one of the Oldest and most
eminent professors in France, was
leading his charges out of school when
he saw the heavy automobile bearing
down upon them full speed. He delib-
erately fell under its wheels to stop 1t.
One lung was perforated and several
ribs were broken, while he lost the
sight of one eye.
The other man is Eugene Graft, an
accomplished sculptor in WOOD, but a
deaf mute, whose ambition it has al
ways been to help his fellows SINH
larly afflicted. Having often gone
without regular meals, as well as con-
tributing to the support of fourteen
relatives, Graft is now seeing his life's
dream realized in the erection of a
club house where deaf mutes may
make their home and learn to earn
their living.

fording every facility to business men
and others of the public in the quick

This company SpecializeS in catering to
the people, as all complaints are given
immediate attention and every effort
is engaged to please the consumer.
Thirdly, our railroad advantages, as a
number of companies appreciatlng the
worth of Denver's central location,
deem it wise to make it point of call
whether terminal or stop-over, and
what with the great project just start
ed-the construction of the Moffat Tun-
mel, which when completed will place
us on the transcontinental line; the
passenger and freight depot with the
very latest equipments for our regular
traffic as well as special tourist trade,
surely there can be no better spot on
earth to dwell whether it be for health,
home life or business.

total colored population was less than
5000; today it is II times that.
Prior to 1910 the Negroes of Detroit
were employed chiefly as porters,
walters and domestics. Today there
are no less than five hundred indus
tries employing colored men. They
can be found in every grade of work
from the crudest to the most highly
skilled labor. The Ford Motor Car
Company is the largest employer of
Negro labor; out of a total of 10000
employees in the Ford Industries in
Detroit, approximately 5000 are
Negroes. The Dodge Brothers Motor
Car Company is the second largest en-
ployer of Negro labor; out of $1,000
men, 1.400 are colored. The Packard
Motor Car Company comes third with
700 colored men in their employ.

and boasting of a sanitation second to

admiration from the average tourist
and visitor year after year, and has
succeeded in obtaining an enviable rep
utation in spite of comparisons with
older and larger cities.
LAND OF PERPETUAL SUNSHINE
Well merited appellation, as the eli
matte conditions are unsurpassed in
this or any other part of the world.
The four seasons acting as it were in
concert, alike the links of a chain,
have never failed to give us this glo-
rious sunlight which creates an activ-
ity that prepares men for-duty, and
doing it well, thereby giving entire sat
isfaction in their respective sphere of
labor. Basking in this sunshine the
toiler becomes refreshed, and the rig
ors of winter seem to be dispelled by
this all-desirable quality or attribute
of Denver that offers continuous en-
joyment and comfort to those who are
fortunate to receive same.
CITY OF LIGHTS-Another title or
designation by which our city is
known, as wizards of the electrical
world, and other persons who have
travelled from city to city in these
United States as well as foreign lands,
are unanimous in declaring that Den
yer is comparatively the best illumin-
ated city in the world.
DENVER, the chief city of the Cen
tenniaI State, Colorado, bears the great
reputation of not only being the best
winter resort, but most beautiful and
healthful residence city throughout the
). year. In every section, there appear
evidences of real progress when one
beholds with delight from the we'll
built and comfortable bungalow to the
fine structural palatial residence so
spacious and accommodating, that
home life is lived admirably by the So
cial gaieties that occur from time to
time. In this cosmopolitan city one
will find all that delights the soul in
the diversities of Nature and embrac-
ing atmosphere. Its sunshine, clear
blue sky, crisp air and comfortable
temperature help to make it famous,
and organizations from all over the
country act in friendly rivalry to Sc
sect Denver for the holding of their
convention.

OUR ADVICE

Our experience in the newspaper
business ought to place us in po-
stion to give sound and safe advice
to the race in making purchases, and
our interest in the colored people of
the city and state makes it incumbent
upon us to call their attention TO those
merchants who will give them the best
service and honest goods for the least
money. Open the pages of this paper
and investigate our list of advertisers
and then go to those stores where you
will be assured of the treatment your
patronage deserves. You will find our
list of advertisers polite, attentive and
willing to suit you, and you can get a
high grade of goods that will satisfy
YOU. Observance of national holidays
is not considered complete in these
days without giving presents, and these
gifts, in order to be appreciated, must
come from first-class stores and bear
the mark of reputable makers and re-
tailers. The shops of Denver fairly
teen with novelties suggestive of the
occasion and it's time-honored observ-
ances Christmas and New Year, be-
ing festival occasions, the decorations
in these stores are a treat in them
selves and lend to the purchasers a
pleasant and agreeable task in making
selection. Merchants who place their
announcements in our columns espe-
cially solicit your trade, and are will
ing to give you the benefit of their
confidence by putting their advertise
ment with us, and they are quick in
recognizing the excellent taste and
purchasing power of our people. 1t
will increase our usefulness and show
your own wisdom and enterprise by
kindly informing the managers of the
various departments where you make
your purchase that you saw their adj
vertisement in our paper. The COLO
RADIO STATESMAN therefore takes
the liberty to give you the benefit of
its advertising experience with the per-
feet assurance that you will be well
pleased by following our suggestions
and purchasing early before the great
rush comes later on. AS the season ad-
vances it will be impossible for you
to secure the careful selection and
courteous attention that you can get
by making your purchases now. We
therefore suggest that you go as soon
as possible and do your shopping while
it can be done with ease and pleasure

Who will take their place in years to come is hard to say, but Alabama will not have as great pair of wing men for several years. Clemens is of all-southern claibre, while Newton is just a shade below it this year. Sick ness, the early part of the season. alone prevents it. To try and describe Rubber" Baty's aid to Alabama this year would be futile-he was good in every game, always gave his all and ended a career at the Capstone in that same unselfish manner and fighting spirit that characterizes all great gridiron players.

ENSLEY HI ELEVEN RETURNS TO CITY
Yellow Jackets Played Good Game Against Lit-
 tie Rock

The Ensley High school football team returned to Birmingham Sat urday morning from Little Rock and Hot Springs, Ark.
 The Yellow Jackets played Little Rock High sc, -ol in Little Rock on Thanksgiving Day and were beaten by two touchdowns, although they held the Little Rock team to 2 to tic until the last few minutes of play when the Little Rock coach sent in several freshmen end the Ensley boys were unable to stop the rush that put over two touchdowns for 20 to victory.
 The Arkansas Gazette speaks of tho Ensley team as being the best conditioned team seen there this year and says that they offered Little Rock greater opposition than any team that played them this year.
 Little Rocks line was the cause of the Ensley defeat as they had the weight on the Ensley boyt and Ems ley was unable to open up any holes through 1t.
 Little Rock made their first touch
  ward pass, Galloway to Avinger.
 Ill the second quarter Lowery passed to Walker for gain of IT yards, which put the ball on the Lit tie Rock 20-y&rd line from which they carried it for a touchdown by means of another pass from Lowery to Jackson. A Little Rock linemsn got offside on the try for point and gave Ensley the point, making the score to 2.
 There was no scoring in the third period, but 1t ended with the ball on Ensley's 25-yard line, and a few minutes after the fourth quarter began Sharp, the Little Rock full back, went over for another touch down.
 From that time on the forward pass game was used and the Little Rock fullback intercepted one of Lowery's passes on the 50-yard line, from which they went ons successive first downs for another touchdown, Mills, the Little Rock quarter carry ing the ball over. Marston, Lowery and Mayhew were the Ensley men who did the most effective work for their team and Walker and Wharton came next.
 The Little Rock High authorities had a trip to Hot Springs arranged for the Yellow Jackets and the boys had fitting close to their season as they found the baths and sights at Hot Springs very pleasant indeed. There were 32 in the EnSley party,
