APPOINTMENTS To
VET HOSPITAL AT
TUSKECEE HELD UP
Director of Veterans Bureau
Marks Time After Trip
to Tuskegee
HINES BOWS TO KALN
Situation Is Test of Admins
tration's Attitude Toward
Race, Says Johnson

Washington, July 19.-The first
round in the battle raging over the
question as to whether disabled col
ored veterans should have the SYM
pathetic care and attention of doc
tors and nurses of their own race or
should be left to the tender mercies
of colored-hating Southern white doc
tors and nurses of Ku Klux Klan
affiliation or sympathy was won by
the Ku Klux Klan crowd, who so
filled Director Hines of the Veterans
Bureau with lies upon his recent
visit to Tuskegee that upon his re-
turn here he announced that he would
not appoint any more colored doctors
or nurses to the Veterans Bureau
new hospital for colored veterans at
Tuskegee.
Test of Administration.
James Weldon Johnson, Secretary
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, has
issued a statement calling the con-
test over the Tuskegee hospital for
colored war veterans a test of the
Harding administration attitude
toward colored people. The state
ment is as follows:
"Despite the governments prom
ise made by President Harding to
staff the Tuskegee hospital for COL
ored war veterans, with colored doc
tors and nurses, the Ku Klux Klan,
with the apparent connivance of Col.
Stanley, have already driven away
DIR. Kennev, a colored physician of
high standing, who has had to flee
with his family from Tuskegee.
This whole situation is one which
again tests the administrators at
titude towards colored people, as well
as the governments integrity in the
face of the Ku Klux Klan mob. The
government could settle this whole
matter in in an hour by taking firm
stand. The Ku Kluxers around Tus-
kegee are bluffing, and will carry
that bluff as far as they can. If
President Harding has backbone
the size of tOOthplck, ne Will call
that bluff, and that will be the end
of the present disgraceful situation
Contentious Are Pretense.
"The contentious of the Alabama
white people are untrue, and absurd
They pretend to fear the menace of
a colored personnel in charge of the
hospital, whereas, the Tuskegee In.
stitute, entirely manned and attend
ed by colored people with severa
hundred teachers and fifteen hundred
students, has never given them, al
though in their midst, grounds fol
the slightest apprehension.
"Colored people throughout the
United States are awaiting to see
how the United States government
will meet the challenege of the Kr
Klux mobbists."

Retrained Veteran
Secures Position

A. j. Caldwell served in the army
as a private, Headquarters Troop,
1st Depot Brigade, and was dis
charged about five months after the
signing of the armistice with a dis
ability that prevented his going back
to his old occupation of farming.
Therefore, the U. S. Veterans
Bureau awarded him a course in vo-
cational training which was taken
partly in business college and
partly with the board of underwrit-
ers with the employment objective of
fire insurance agent.
Mr.. Caldwell applied himself so
we'll to his training and showed such
aptitude for the work that when his
training was completed on December
81. 1922, he was Immediately given
the position of state agent for the
Twin City Fire Insurance Company
of the middle West fire underwriters
agency of Minneapolis, with his head
quarters at Great Falls, Mont.
Upon assuming his new duties, Mr.
Caldwell took occasion to write the
Helena office of the Veterans Bureau
letter of appreciation, saying, 81
wish to express my sincere thanks
for the good treatment accorded me
through your office. My work as g
vocational student has been a pleas.
ure from the beginning, and the po.
sition I now hold is the result of the
efforts of yourself and staff of able
associates"
It is evident that man who profit!
by his training and shows the CO
operative attitude that Mr.. Caldwell
does, will succeed in his chosen lin,
of work.

tunity to combine business and pleas

tend.

tion Headquarters, CO Mrs. Alice C.

Trial Because of Prejudice
in Cleveland

George P. Baer today ruled out de-
murrer filed last week by attorneys
for John L. Whitfield, charged with

ity of the statute under which Whit

dismissed their attacks on the word
ing of the Indictment itself.
A motion for a change of venue,
filed by Whitfeld's attorneys Tues
day, on the ground that Whitfield
could not be given an impartial trial
here because of prejudice, will be
heard Tuesday, the court decided.
The hearing, originally set for to-
day, was postponed at the request of
defense's attorneys.

The suit started by Lawyer w. T.
Francis, on behalf of Lois C. Sim
mons of Chicago, niece of William
R. Hardy, against the N. w. Mutual
Life Ins. Co. to recover one thousand
dollars on the life of Mr.. Hardy, was
disposed of and the money paid to
Lawyer Francis for Miss Simmons
last Friday. Legal proceedings was
made necessary by reason of the OBJ
lection made by Mrs. Clara Hardy
widow, upon the ground that Miss
Simmons had secured change in
the beneficiary through undue infiu-
ence and that Mr.. Hardy was not
competent to make the change at the
time it was made. No showing OF
undue influence or incompetence was
evidenced by Mrs. hardy in court and
the court ordered that she be barred
from any claim and that judgment be
entered in favor of Miss Simmons.
