U. s. AGENTS TO
PROBE SLAYING
OF REV. EASON
Government to Investigate Report
That Murder OF Minister Was
Directed From New York
CHARACTER IS ATTACKED
Carney Paper Says Women to Blame;
Slain Man Witness in Black
Star Line Case

New York, Jan. 10 CRUSADER Serv-
ice).-Stirred by the cold-blooded
murder of Rev. j. H. Eason, one of
the ex-leaders of the Universal Negro
Improvement Association and the
most important witness the govern
ment had in it's case against Marcus
Garvey and other officials of the de-
funct Black Star Line, Inc, agents
of the department of justice have
begun an investigation into the cir
cumstances surrounding his assassi-
nation in New Orleans on New Years
day as he was about to depart for
New York to testify at the trial of
Garvey.
According to Assistant United
States Attorney Maxwell S. Mattuck,
who will prosecute Garvey for his
alleged fraudulent promotion schemes,
Eason was to have been one of the
principal government witnesses at
the trial.
The former U. N. I. "A. leader was
shot as he left a church, where he
had bitterly denounced Garvey and
ures. AS he emerged two fanatics
met him and emptied the contents of
revolvers into his body. The victim
died on the Thursday night follow
ing in New Orleans hospital. His
death has reused a wave of horror
and resentment throughout the land
and has been interpreted in many for
merly neutral quarters as definitely
sounding the knell of the already
badly battered organization.
The New Orleans police placed un-
der arrest in connection with the
shooting, two painters, who described
themselves as William Shakespeare
and Fred Dyer. Both had cards in
their possession, showing that they
were members of the Universal
Negro Improvement Association of
which Garvey is president.
I Prosecutor Mattuck said today that
reports had come to him indicating
an effort on the part of certain peo-
pie to scare government witnesses
by broad hints to deal out to others
the same medicine handed out to Dr.
Eason.
Garvey's Trial February 5.
The trial of Garvey and his asso-
SAoCO oAlASOAS VI Vic OloSh oval AlIlS
has been set for the first Monday in
February. It is alleged that $1,000
600 of the stock in this steamship
line, of which Carney was president
was sold to credulous persons on
facts that warranted the charges of
fraud, such, for instance, as adver-
tisement and sale Of passages on the
ghost ship "Phyllis Wheatley." The
other defendants besides Marcus are
Orlando M. Thompson, vice president;
Ellie Garcia, secretary, and George
Tobias, treasurer.
When the stock was being floated
Eason, the, dead man, who at that
time held the title of "American
Leader" was one Of the most effec-
tive agents of Garvey in the appeal
for subscriptions. He is said to have
oficiated at the marriage ceremony
of Carney and his first wife.

Secretary Charges
(From the N. Y. World)


Charges that United States Senator
Walter George of Georgia is a Ku
Klux Klansman, and that Lathrop
Stoddard of Boston, author and mag
azine writer, is not only a Klansman
but is about to undertake command
of the Klan's European invasion,
were made by Walter F. White, As
sistant Secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, at the Civic Club last
night.
Mr.. White, speaking under the
auspices Of the League for Industrial
Democracy, gave as his authority a
reputable citizen of Atlanta in pos
session of secret Khan documents.
On the same authority, he declared
that the finding of the bodies of two
white men in Lake La Fourche, Ia,
is only the beginning of revelations
of wholesale murder laid to the Khan
in that territory. He said fifty to
sixty colored men and women had
disappeared in that parish in the last
eighteen months and many of them
are in the lagoons thereabouts.
The World asked Senator George
in Washington last night to comment
on Mr.. Whites charge. The Senator
said he had nothing to say for publ
cation.
Other speakers at the meeting
were Walter Nelles, of the Civil
Liberties Union, and Charles P.
Sweeney of the World, who urged
adoption of the proposed bill to COM
pei secret and fraternal societies to
file public lists of their entire men,
berships.

ENGLAND Halls new
BOOKER WASHINGTON

London, Jan. Is CRUSADER Serv-
ice).-The announcement from the
United States of the discovery of
another. Booker T. Washington in the
person of James Emman Kwegyir
Aggrey, an African-born Negro, who
is now a candidate for his Phi. D. at
Columbia university, has been re-
ceived here with frank interest in the
prospects of usurping the present
dominant radical colored citizen with
a leader of the old type and school.
British imperialists in particular, re-
celved the announcement with undis-
guised pleasure, while even the lib
erals reacted favorably to the pros
poets of ousting the present radical
leadership of the colored people in
the United States. Typical Of the
comment of the press is the following
excerpt from an editorial in the Man
chester Guardian:
Like DR.. Motion, who was recently
in England, Mr.. Aggrey is opposed
to the African liberation movement
which has been advocated by radical
Negroes in the United States and has
inspired many colored men through
out the world with the ambition to
bring to an end European domination
of the Dark Continent. Mr.. Aggrey
has long occupied the pulpit of the
colored church near Salisbury. Many
colored men aspire to the position of
influence that Booker T. Washington
held in Americas Black World of
nearly twelve million persons, but
most of them are working on lines
entirely opposed to the doctrines of
the greatest figure which has yet
emerged from the ranks of the COL
ored men in America. Aggrey, how
ever, is working along lines laid down
by Booker T. Washington-that is, to
fit the colored American into a prop
er niche in the agricultural and in
dustrial sphere" ..'.."'@ -

Down in Texas some months ago a
young white woman had a colored
man thrown in jail with the story
that he had murdered her escort and
attacked her. By nothing short of a
miracle he escaped lynching, and the
other day the news filtered down to
his cell that his accuser and her
brothers had been arrested for his
alleged crime. The case brings to
mind the Duluth lynchings of 1920
where the lying tongue of slip of
girl sent three innocent men-~-to
death. Research to determine how
many hapless colored men have been
murdered by the lies of white women
would be grim, but interesting bust
ness.

The Buffalo American has definitely
renounced the Republican party.
The American believes that the G.. o.
P. has bungled things so generally as
to forfeit the support Of colored
Americans. We commend the spirit
of independence shown by the editors
of the American and recommend their
stand to the standpats who still do
not realize that the only berth the
black voter has on the Republican
ship is in the leaky hold.

In her article on Mississippi which
appeared in a recent number of the
Nation, Buelah Amidon Radcliffe con-
cludes that the most pitiable thing
about the fragile civilization in that
state is that the citizens of the COM
monwealth do not realize that their
treatment of the colored man is I'M
dermining their own well-being.
In this respect the citizens of Miss
issippi are not unique. One of the
astounding facts that has come out
of the complex race relations exist
ing in this country is that the white
man, in general, has failed to see that
the program of lynch law and mob
violence directed at colored man will
rebound to the detriment of the whole
population.
But he is waking up-and the
lynching and mobbing of white men
is waking him up.
The story of the tarring and
feathering of a young white doctor
in Texas made a full page feature
for the Sunday supplements; the tar
ring of white woman by masked
mob started typewritters in editorial
room to clicking; the stripping to two
white women by California mob
made front page stories and brought
forth editorial roars of indignation.
Now has come Mer Rouge with its
torture and murder of white men;
last week in Oklahoma, four white
men beat up another and assaulted
his wife and the other day in Goose
Greek, Texas, masked mob whipped
a white man and woman.
Worse than the actual commission
of mob crime has been the spread of
mob spirit. Mobs form on the slight
est pretext. Down in Madison, Wis,
a student was nearly lynched because
he believed that Kate Richards
O'Hara should be allowed to speak
in that city; in the recent railroad
strike the Texas and Pacific R. R..
was the first road to ask protection
from the mob; the whole country is
still stirred by the mob murders at
Herrin; in Chicago a workman's wife
had, to hold a mob at bay with a
pistol; right here in st. Paul mob
gathered around the Ducas street
police station determined to do
violence to Frank Weltz, a reckless
driver-murderer.
And so it goes. The insidious
propaganda of mob violence planted
by the weak civilizations of Mississ-
ippi and her kind are bearing hideous
fruit.
Lynch law-and mob rule must go.
Respect for the regular channels of
the law must be built anew. In his
fight to end mob violence the colored
man is helping the white man to
save himself. -.t ...t .. >.

Criticising the church and the min

ROAD SHOWS UNDER
HANDICAP OF BEING
TAKEN FOR "MOVIES''
Miss Dale Winters OF
"lrene" Company Plays
Part in New York.

One of the biggest handicaps big
road shows. such as Irene now play
ing at the Majestic. haze To overcome
is the difficulty of making thcatcr
patrons understand that they are not
knowing picture attractions said Mis-;
Dale Winter. the pretty leading wom-
an of the Majcstic's musical comedy
attraction.
MANY people" said Miss Winters.
ARE under the impression that Irene
is motion picture. | should like To
make il clear that il is not and further
that the company playing Irene In
this city this week Is tho same CON.
pany that played at the Vanderbilt
thcater in New York City for three
years. breaking the record in that city
for continuous showing.
After three years on the stage OF
the Vanderbilt We left New York and
went on the road for short while. re.
turning to New York and again play
ing Irene at the Jolson theater. clos
ing our engagement at that house this
spring"
After closing the engagement at the
Jolson theater in New York the COM
pany came South. playing first at
Tulsa. Okla. according to Miss Win
tiers. From Tulsa the company went
to Oklahoma City. Dallas. Fort Worth
and Houston. just finishing an engage
ment in the latter city. The company
will go to the Pacific coast for the
winter season.
Irene is play which appeals TO
everyone" said Miss Winters. 1T IS
not like the usual musical comcd-. 1t
mas an appealing story mixed In with
comedy in a clever manner. Not only
,lacs il mold the interest of the au-
dicnce but it holds the interest os the
Players as well. Despite the facg that
played the part of Irene every
night for three years in New York
City. 10 say nothing Of the times that
nave played it in other places. l
find something new and funny in the
lines every night.
Il have played many musical come
| dies in my life but in my opinion
Irene il the classic of them all. Per.
!.lps the chief interest in Irene is the
human touch of the play. II is n story
true to life. Things that Irene says
are things that nearly every girl says
in her lifetime and things that she
does are things that every girl does.
