Wills Demands Fight
With Dempsey Be
fore He Clas h e s
With Firpo

New York, July 31.-Harry Wills,
Negro aspirant for the heavyweight
boxing title, and his manager, Paddy
Mullins, appeared Tuesday before the
State Athletic Commission to demand
that Jack Dempsey be compelled to de-
fend his title against Wills before
meeting Luis Angel Firpo. The COM
mission reserved decision.
Mullins was understood to have told
the commission that Wills, under an
agreement signed with Dempsey's rep
resentatives some months ago in the
commissions offices, was entitled to a
chance at the title this year and that
the commission should see that he got
it.
There was no mention of an applica-
tiOn from Tex Rickard for a license to
promote the Dempsey-Firpo match on
Sept. IA at the Polo Grounds, and none
of the commissioners would say when
action, if any, would be taken in the
Wills case.

Boston, Mass, July 26.-James G.

100000 alienation suit this week
against Joseph G. Lloyd, white, CO.
year-old president of the Lloyd Iron

sides at 166 w. Springfield street. He
claimed that his wife, lola Ernestine
Fitzgerald, now living at &C Braddock

OF escapades, the result of which she
is now estranged from him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tippett are natives of
Longview, Texas, were sweethearts at

were married 1--WE came to Wash

a position as file clerk in the Govern

til 1920. My wife was also a Govern

Later went to Boston and worked
at various clerical positions. My wife
was offered a position in the Lloyd
Company, II Huntington Avenue, as a
typist and telephone operator. She
received ten dollars week, but quit
when she found her work interferred
with the rearing of our child.
after he left, the intimacy with
LLOYD began and he was more of a
husband to lola than 1 was"
Mrs. Tippett admitted being with
Lloyd on several occasions, but said
there was nothing wrong. MY hus-
band is jealous. Mr.. Lloyd has been
very good to me in many ways"

J. w. Johnson Writes
on What America
Owes the Negro
Article Published in "Our
World" for August

"The Negro is the creator of the
only things artistic that have yet
sprung from American soil and been
universally acknowledged as distinct
i've American products" according to
James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, writing
in the August "Our World" (Pub-
lished at East 37th Street. New
York City,
After reciting that Negroes sailed
with Columbus, explored with Varvaez
fought in every war on American soil,
and contributed by their labor to the
nations prosperity, Mr.. Johnson says
However, honorable and glorious as
is the Negroes record, it is not the
most important story about him in
America. For display of the ele-
ments of stamina and courage and
loyalty and of intelligence, it does not
begin to compare with his peace
record. 1t is in the victories of peace
that the Negro has demonstrated his
highest claim to full membership in
the groups that enter into the making
of America. 1t is in the victories of
peace that he has stood the test of the
most essential qualities of manhood
and citizenship-of stamina, patience,
sacrifice, courage, determination, in
telligence and faith in oneself. In
deed, in my opinion, it requires great
er courage and higher degree of
qualities, mental and spiritual, for a
Negro to be successful, respected and
self-respecting citizen in, say, Missis-
sippi than it requires for Negro to
win the Croix de Guerre in France"

Veterans Bureau, has been asked
in telegram sent by the Nation
al Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, ito remove Colonel
Robert II. Stanley, at present COM
manding the Government Hospital for
colored war veterans at Tuskegee,
Alabama. The demand follows dis
closure of charges that Colonel Stan
lay had permitted the use of the Gov
ernment Hospital supplies by the Ku
Klux Klan, that he had failed to pro-
tect colored subordinates from the
threats of mob violence, and that
number of colored nurses who it was
hospital, were summarily discharged
without cause. A letter to President
Harding calling the Tuskegee Hospi-
tai national scandal" and asking
for a definite stand by the Admins
tration, supplements the telegram. The
telegram to Director General Hines is
as follows:
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People asks that
Colonel Robert H. Stanley be removed
Immediately from command of Gov
ernment Hospital for cOlored war vet
Grams at Tuskegee. Our request is
based upon information on file in your
office, establishing conclusively the
failure of Col. Stanley as commander
of the Hospital to protect Negro sub
ordinates against mob threats; and
showing that Col. Stanley tolerated, if
he did not actually connive at Ku
Klux invasion of the Hospital and use
of Hospital supplies; further, that
Negro nurses have been summarily
discharged without cause. We ask
the reinstatement of the three nurses
removed without cause. Many other
acts of discrimination are indicated,
as to which number of white doctors
of Col. Stanley's staff are ready and
willing to testify

is as follows:
"Dear Mr.. President:
unfortunately during your absence,
the Tuskegee Hospital situation has
reached the stage of a national scan

mobbists in the name of the Ku Klux
Klan, attempting to defy the United
States Government, driving out col

work at the Tuskegee Hospital. We
have seen the white commander of
that hospital, Colonel Robert H. Stan

with mob violence, and tolerating if
not conniving at Ku Klux activity in
the Government Hospital under his
command.

National Association Sends
Protest to Secretary of
War Weeks

A letter protesting against the eX-
clusion of Negroes from the C. NJ. T..
training camps established by the
War Department, has been sent to
Secretary of War, John w. Weeks, by
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, the spe-
cific case complained of being that of
Anthony r. Mayo, Jr., of Bloomfield,
New Jersey, who was rejected because
of his color. The Associations letter
to the Secretary of War, is as follows !:
Hon. John w. Weeks, Secretary of
+ War,
Washington, ID. c.
Dear Mr.. Secretary:
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People pro
tests most emphatically against the
exclusion of Negroes from the c. NJ T.
camps, established by the War De-
partment for United States citizens.
AS proof that such exclusion on ac-
count of race and color is taking place,
beg to submit the following letter,
! addressed to Mr.. Anthony r. Mayo,
Jr, of Bloomfield, New Jersey, and
signed by 2nd Lieutenant R. P. Oven
shine, stationed at Governors Island,
New York. The letter reads:
Subject: C. NJ, T. Camps for Negroes.
To Mr.. Anthony R. Moya, Jr.,
8 Lawrence Place,
Bloomfield, N. J.
!. 1t has been the established pol
icy of the War Department to hold G.
NJ. T. Camps for Negroes if a suffi-
cient number applied to warrant the
holding of such camps. In view of the
fact that only few Negroes in the
Second Corps Area have applied to at
tend such a camp, it is not deemed
practicable to hold a camp for them.
2. This headquarters regrets that
it will not be possible to send you to
camp this year, and hopes that you
will not lose any of your interest in
true Americanism through the disap-
pointment of this year.
For the C. NJ. T. c. Officer:
r. P. ovENSHINE,
2nd Lieutenant Inf
Does true Americanism for black
man mean, Mr.. Secretary, being ex-
cluded from training camps and being
ordered to the front without training?
1t is needless for us to inform you that
this is an insult not only to Negroes
but to United States Citizenship in be-
half of which Negroes have fought
with honor in every war that has
taken place upon American soil.
May we inquire whether it is really
the policy of the War Department
under your Administration to counte-
nance such an outrage and if it is not
your policy, what steps you intend to
take to discipline the officers respon-
quoted?
Faithfully yours,
