Prof. Kerlin
Loses Suit

Lexington, Ky.-Prof. Robert T.
Kerlin's battle for academic freedom
came to an untimely end today when
Judge McLemore sustained the de
murrer of the Virginia Military In
stitute.
Prof. Kerlin was suing for 500, 1000
damages to his reputation, because of
expulsion from the school on account
of his advocacy of the constitutional
rights of the six colored men SEN
fenced to death by the Arkansas
courts following the Elaine massacre
of Negroes in 1920.
The Virginia Military Institute is a
State institution, said Judge Nc
Lemore, in sustaining the demurrer,
held the board could not be sued for
damages because they were part of
the executive machinery of the State
responsible to the Governor.
Prof. Kerlin said he will not appeal
the case. "The law is against me
and 1 shall not try to contest it," he
said. 81 am sorry that it has come
out this way, because l believe the
trial would have been a contribution
to the cause of freedom of speech
and opinion among teachers"

Bishop Wallace Mar
rowly Escapes ViO-
lence by White Mob

Warren, Ark, June lis it possible
for venerable bishop to "sass" a 20
year-old youth?
This was the claim of a white mob,
which took Bishop p. A. Wallace
from his stopping place, locked him
up in the office of the Mayor, threat
ened him with gun and rope and
struck him with chair until town
officials rescued him.
Bishop Wallace, whose home is in
Brooklyn, n. Y, was on his way to
Walters University here to deliver the
baccalaureate sermon. Arriving in
the station during the rain, he took
shelter inside awaiting the auto to
take him to the school grounds.
At this point the 20-year-old white
station porter, announced that it was
time to close the station and "you
damn niggers take your baggage and
get out. blSllop dlluCe FelllOH-
strated with the youth and in reply
received two blows from a stove pok-
er and threats to 'get you tonight"
Later in the evening the bishop was
called from the house by an auto load
of men looking for the ''nigger who
had an argument with a white man
at the station" Bishop Wallace was
locked up in the Mayors office, and
man armed with revolver placed
over him. Abused, threatened, cursed
and hit by a chair in the hands of
this guard, the prelate was finally
rescued by school authorities who had
gotten the mayor out of bed.
Authorities refused to prosecute the
porter or the members of the mob, on
the ground that no Arkansas jury
would believe the word of a black
man against white, and if Bishop
Wallace came to court with any
chages, he would probably be lynched.

Baptist Convention and pastor of
Olivet Baptist Church in Chicago,
with over 10000 members, will be one
of the eleven prominent American

The only other colored speaker is a
Southerner from Texas, Dr. E. A.
Wilson of Dallas, whose topic is "The
Future of Negro Baptists."
The last meeting was held in Phil
adelphia in 1912. The meeting sche-

Several other topics of major i'm

pies religion" such as the question
of international peace, in which the
League of Nations will doubtless
figure, are to receive the attention of
the delegates.

State Federation Of Co|Ored
WOmen'S Clubs Meet
In Denver
Twentieth Annual Convention Brings
Great Concourse of Talented
Women Together

gates and visitors closed n brilliant
day for the ladies of the Federation.
Thursday was the real big day of
the convention. The program rem
dered at each session was of excep-
tionally high merit 1t is said by
those who have long followed the his
tory of the Federation, that the women
have never offered programs of great
er variety nor shown deeper research
than this year. During the afternoon
session an impressive memorial SER
vice was held in honor of the late
Mrs. Eliza Dishman and Mrs. Wilhel-
nina Hall. The evening session
brought forth a beautiful address on
"Old Flowers, Old Songs and Mother"
by Mrs. Amelia Reeves. Mrs. Edna
Canty delighted the large audience
with an artistically rendered instru-
mental solo. Then came the classic
of the whole convention, debate ::
"Resolved that there should be a di-
vorce" Mrs. Hill of Pueblo and Mrs.
Leonard of Cheyenne were for the af-
firmative, while Mrs. Viola Cobb
Colorado Springs and Mrs. Elizabeth
Twyman, Denver, ably presented the
negative side of the question. 1t
proved to be very entertaining fea-
ture of the convention. Mr.. James
Cooper, Mrs. NJ. Flora Stell and Miss
Nelsine Howard as judges, gave de
cision in favor of the affirmative.
Friday morning was set for the cleo
ton of officers instead of at the after
noon session in order that many of
the delegates could attend an Eastern
Star function in honor of the Grand
Matron. The delegates were highly
entertained while in the city and it is
certain Denver has been much bene-
fitted by contact with the stalwart,
brainy women of the Race. The
COLORADO STATESMAN has OBJ
served that Mrs. Ollie Redd of Chey-
enne, as president of the Federation,
led with a dignity and clearness of
vision that was of the highest type.
She is noble woman, who will bring
pride and distinction to her people
and sex at any time.

EXHIBITION OF ART WORK.
MERITORIoUS PHASE OF FED
GRAFTON CONVENTION

More than 600 pieces of art work
were on exhibition at Zion Baptist
Church during the convention of the
Federation of Colored Women's Clubs
this week, representing values of sew
eral thousands of dollars. The entire
upper floor of the church was con-
verted into exhibition rooms for the
various clubs that make specially of
art work, and was crowded with Wis.,
itors each day. Much of the work
showed skill, workmanship and knowl-
edge, with high artistic deftness of
unusual merit.

Negro Migration

Steps are being taken by Bethel
NJ. Tanner, pastor, to map out pro-
gram in reference to the duty of the
Negro churches toward the thousands
of colored people who are migrating
from various sections of the South to
Chicago. 1t is estimated that not less
than two or three hundred people ar
rive here every week. Many men are
coming with the thought of sending for
their families and all their worldly
possessions with them. In many in
stances they are practically living in
peonage in certain sections of the
country. By moving to other sections
of the country, where honest toll Is ap-
preciated their conditions will be i'm
measureably improved.
Thus far the colored churches of
Chicago have not worked out any
united or definite plan to deal with the
problem of southern migration. Some
of the pastors of the leading churches
are striving to have cooperation in
this work. Denominational lines will
be obliterated in this church uplift
work. Requests have been made that
special sermons be preached to the
strangers who are within our gates,
letting them know the new and graver
responsibility that rest upon them in
the highly organized life of the great
city. 1t is intended that they shall be
met at the trains, whenever necessary
taken to a central stopping place, also
they will be informed of the location
The Colorado statesman., 1923-06-16

of the various churches, banks, insur-
ance companies and other Negro busi-
ness enterprises. Proper home sur
roundings will be secured and the i'm
migrant will be advised in plain talks
as to his best interest and warnings of
the pitfalls and dangers of the city.
A free employment bureau and labor
exchange has been opened at the above
church. Good wages, steady work.
Write 359 E. 42nd Street, Mrs. NJ.

Tulsa Riot Victims
File Suits Against
City for $3,O35,235.S7

Negroes of Tulsa, who were COM
pletley wiped out by fire following
the big Race conflict two years ago,
have unanimously rebuilt their sec
ton more beautiful than before.
Modern brick buildings, fine business
establishments, elegant homes, and
good churches adorn the section now
that was a mass of ruins June 1st,
1921.
AT the close of business June 1st,
1928, these courageous Race people
filed damage suits against the City
County, City Officials, their Bonds
men, and the Sinclair Oil Company, to
the amount of S3,O35, ,235.s7. And that
only represented the losses of the
largest property owners. Thousands
Of the smaller losers became discour-
aged and did not file suit. In most
cases prominent Race attorneys are
pushing the cases-many of whom
have national regulations. Hon. G.
w. Hutchings, local Race attorney,
was the first to file a suit He was
followed by Attorneys B. G. Franklin,
e. I. Saddler, H. A. Guess, 1. S.
Spears, all local Race lawyers and
Hon. Elisha Scott of Topeka, Kansas,
Hon. G. w. Carry of Guthrie, Okla,

OIL DISCOVERED
FOUR MILES FROM
OKLAHOMA TOWN
Bo1ey, Oklahoma, Negro Town,
Is Center of Newest Oil
Rush

Boley, Okla, June 7.-Oil prospect
ors are rushing into this city and sec
ton by the hundreds.
Over night the black metropolis of
America has become a seething bee
hive of humanity and if the oncoming
hordes continues, within a few weeks
Boley will have doubled it's popula-
ton. The cause of the excitement
develops out of the spouting of a big
oil we'll brought in on a quarter sec
ton owned by Rev. Robert Kirksey,
located about four miles northwest of
this city last Friday night.
BIG GUSHER
The new well is big gusher, show
ing much more promise than the
recent well brought in at Castle on
McKerns quarter Another well is be-
ing driven through the sand on the
Sam Callahan farm just one mile
north of Boley and the indications are
that another big gusher will add to
the already excited town in few
days.
THOUSANDS OF ACRES
Thousands of acres of the land in
this section and Okfuskee, are in the
hands and control of black folk.
From Sand Creek back to Rusk, all
of the land is owned by Negroes and
1t is said that this new field will
develop more millionaires than any
other section has developed among
our group. The new strike is said
to be an extension of the field To-
Gated two years ago at Clearview.
BLACK MILLIONAIRES
Oklahoma has smiled kindly upon
many black folk who own her soil. In
the past she has belched forth mil
lions in liquid gold into the hands of
hundreds of black men and women.
Especially in eastern Oklahoma.
Luther Manuel, Sarah Rector, Queen
Victoria Jackson and an unending
stream of others have lived to see
barren hills and rocky crags trans
formed over night into "Castles in
Spain" Boley's citizens are dreaming
just such dreams. tonight as many of
Oklahoma's black folk have lived to
realize.

British Crime Expert
DenOunces Ku
Klux Klan
Destitute of Moral Cour-
age" Says Sir Basil
Thomson
IN. A. A. C. P. Press service)


Sir Basil Thomson, former director
of the criminal investigation depart
ment of Great Britain's detective cen
ter Scotland Yard, warns of the dan
ger of the Ku Klux Klan, in an inter
view published in the New York Her
aid of Sunday, June 8.
"The new Klan processes to wage
war against modern social evil,' said
Sir Basil, 'but in reality it fosters
animosity against the Roman Catho-
lies, the Jews and the colored people
1t can do no possible good, and it may
do much harm.
Its use of the mask opens the
door TO the adoption of disguise by
violent criminals who will not be slow
to copy the form of the Klansman's
mask when they have old scores to
settle.
"Some unthinking people have
likened the movement to the italian
Fascist movement, but the Fascist
works openly and scorns the use of
masks. The Klansman's defense for
the mask, or rather the defense of
those with whom L have talked, is
that some people are shy of joining
movement, however much they APP
prove of it's objects, if they have to
come out into the open. One would
have thought that recruits so desti-
tute of moral courage We're scarcely
worth enrolling. L venture the sug-
gestion, which 1 make without any
dsrespect to the Klan, that without
the masks there would be no re-
cruits."
