N.A.A. C.P. BRANDS LIE
IN GARVEYS PAPER
No Truth in Assertion that M.
Storey Visited Garvey
Prosecutor

New York, July 5.-The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People today characterized as
a malicious lie statement published
in Marcus Garvey's "Negro World"
of June %, 1923, to the effect that
Moorefield Storey, President of the
n. A. Al. C. P, had visited the United
States District Attorneys office to
urge Garvey's conviction.
The "Negro World of June %, 1928
states on page 1: =
"Why did the President of the N.
A. A. C. P. visit the District Attor-
neyss Office of New York the very
day Marcus !Garvey's case was called?
Why was he behind the doors?
Mr.. Mooreield Storey, by telephone
from Boston, authorized the public
statement to be made that he had new
er had any communication with the
| district attorney in New York on any
subject whatsoever, was never in his
Office, and, in fact, does not know
who the district attorney is.
Mr.. Storey was telephoned to in
Boston, not because the "Negro
Worlds statement was entitled to
credence, but so that colored people
throughout the United States might
have Mr.. Storey's personal word in
this matter.

FAMOUS SCHOLAR
STUNS AUDIENCE
IN PHILADELPHIA
Crisis Editor, Billed to Speak
Against Segregation, Takes
Opposite Stand
WANTS SEPARATE SCHOOLS
Tells Philadelphians, eve Must
Hang to Segregation to
Save Our Race"
(From the Defender.)

Philadelphia, Pa, July 6.-In this
city, early scene of his labors, DR.. w.
E. B. Dubois, we'll known author, is
fallen idol.
Before large, cultured and deter
mined audience of progressive Race
men and women assembled in Wesley
church DR.. Du Bois came out flat
footed for segregation and rule of
Jim Grow.
"We have segregated hospitals,
separate churches, Race lodges, in
surance companies advertising racial
identity, our own undertakers, and
finally graveyards where only our
blood is buried" declared the critic
of Booker T. Washington, "and l,
therefore, glory in separate schools"
The audience acted as if the fire
department had turned the ice water
hose upon it.
DR.. Dubois had been advertised to
speak against segregation, and par
ticularly against the effort to make
the Cheyney school a Jim Grow re-
treat.
The speaker took the other route.
One of his utterances that cold
watered his listeners was this: "Stop
fighting Cheyney and Hill; let them
alone. We must hang to segregation
to save our Race"
For an utterance less unpatriotic
than that Booker T. Washington was
read out of the society of respectable
men by DR.. Dubois.
AS the author went along his audi
ence could see that his opposition to
Booker T. Washington in the life
time of the great leader was built on
jealousy.
DR.. Dubois, who boasts of his Har-
ward degree, is really a product of
Fisk university, class of '88.
81 am proud of Jim Crow Schools"
declared the "champion," "because
my daughter is a product of one."
Likewise DR.. Dubois, although he
never owned it until recently.
The speaker was handled without
gloves and with large hands by j.
Francis Lee, Rev. VIM. Lloyd lines,
Attorney G. Edward Dickerson, DR..
j. Wesley Bailey and Rhoda Tilton.
Each speaker expressed surprise that
DR.. Dubois, supposed champion of
equal rights and identical oppor-
tunities for our children, could fall
from grace with so much ease and
self-satisfaction.
The audience refused to respond to
the invitation to join the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, and the collection
plate looked like a pauper's oath
when the offering was called for.
His magazine, Editor Dubois said,
is segregated proposition, and will
continue to be so.
Philadelphians might call in other
noted leaders to sound the tocsin
when big ideas are to be pressed,
but it will be long time before this
city pins it's faith again to Dubois.
To the statement of the speaker
that his views were inherited from
his grandfather one of the speakers
said he would like to meet the grand
father of a man who had so many
views on one matter.

Estimate that 1880 Have Left
State Since January, this
Year: Recommend-~Higher
Wages, Less Prejudice, Bet
ter Education
Especial CORRESPONDENCE. }

Washington, July 6.-According to
figures compiled by the Georgia
Bankers association, $4,000 colored
people have left Georgia for the
North within the past three and a
half years, or since the beginning Of
1920. The figures show, moreover,
that 1880 of this number left dur
ing the first six months of the cur
rent, indicating that the exodus is
on the rise instead Of on the wane.
James S. Peters, president of the
association, takes a common sense
view of the situation in presenting
four suggestions which he believes
will go far toward inducing the col
ored people to remain in Georgia,
namely:
First, wages must be increased to
meet the level of the North and East,
and living conditions improved.
Second, care Of the quarters of the
colored people, the sanitation of their
sections of towns and rural communi-
ties improved.
Third, our educational facilities
must be improved, and the colored
man given a better chance to educate
himself.
Fourth, race prejudice. I do not
believe that the colored man is given
exactly fair consideration and there
by a fair deal in all transactions, and
this should not be tolerated.
Continuing, Mr.. Peters says: "The
exodus of the colored man has left in
it's trail a destruction-silent, but as
great as that wrought by the march
Of Sherman's army from Atlanta to
the sea. As a result of the
exodus of the colored people to the
North and of the white people to the
city, we now have vacant 46,676
farm dwellings in Georgia, and
55,524 idle plows. Based upon a pro-
duction of $500 to the pillow, which is
very low, it will be observed that
Georgia's loss of wealth from her
farms this year will amount to the
sum of more than 100000 and in
a decade to more than $250,000,000."
The situation is beyond the powers
of craftsmanship to handle. It is not
subject for legislation. It must be
solved, if at all, by people which
prides itself on the ultimate rule of
common sense.

STOP DISCRIMINATION
IN CLEVELAND THEATER
Head of Keith Circuit Checks
Policy on Complaint of
N. A. A. G.. p.

New York, July 5.-Prompt investi-
cation and action by E. F. Albee,
president of the B. F. Keith Circuit
of Theaters, to stop discrimination
in the Cleveland Keith theater, has
resulted from complaint made to him
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, it
was announced today.
Harry E. Davis, chairman of the
legal committee of the Cleveland
Branch, N. A. A. C. p, reported to
the national Office in May, that one of
party of colored people had been
denied admission to the Keith Palace
Theater in Cleveland, although pos
sessing an orchestra ticket. The
usher also requested the seat checks
of five other members of the party,
claiming there had been a mistake in
seating. One of the members Of the
party was elected from the theater
for refusing to surrender his seat
check.
Upon the facts being reported to
Mr.. Albee of the Keith Corcuit by
Walter F. White, assistant secretary
of the N. A. A. C. P, Mr.. Albee in
vestigated and wrote the following
letter: r. ~ -
"In reference to your communica.
tions of May "a and June A, / fine
on investigation that there was 9
mistake on someone's part, which
caused the incident referred to ii
your letter, and / have given in.
structions which / hope will rendel
such errors impossible IN the future
/ think it is unnecessary for me tt
say what everybody knows, that ths
Keith policy is one of fair treatment
to all persons regardless of color
race or creed"

There are many persons in Arizona

Figures issued by the Santa Fe Rail

during the month of June of this year
they handled three hundred passen-

tainly the building of new railroads
and the double-tracking of our older

employed, and more and richer cities
will be the inevitable outcome.
At present our stock men raise and
ship hundreds of cars of stock to the
middle western states, where they are
fed, slaughtered, and the meat dress

over the same rOute-the consumer
paying the freight both ways. Would

people who would also become citi-
zens of our state and, like the farm
ers, would become home-builders and
share in the burdens of taxation.
Sheep growing is one of Arizona's
chief industries. Are we too optimis-
tic when we say we expect to see,
some day, the finished cloth shipped
to the markets instead of the raw
wool?
Railroads, always on the lookout
for more traffic, follow development,

to none in the United States? If we
lave five hundred visitors daily to
the Grand Canyon now, may we not
suppose the figure would soon be
doubled and trebled in the event of
ratification of the Colorado River
Compact?
In my estimation Arizona has much
to gain by ratifying the Pact. l be-
heve that in few years we shall see
