BY HARVARD HEAD
SON OF GRADUATE REFUSED
RESIDENCE. IN FRESHMAN
HALL FATHER CLASS
80 ORATOR "

New York, Jan. ia request of
Roscoe Conkling Bruce, colored grad
uate Of Harvard university, that a
room be reserved in the freshman
halls at Harvard-for his son, has
been refused by President A. Law
renee Lowell, a letter published in
the New York World today disclosed.
Replying to Mr.. Bruce, President
Lowell wrote:
81 am sorry to have to tell you
that in the freshman halls, where
residence is compulsory, we have, felt
from the beginning the necessity of
not including colored men. To the
other dormitories and dining rooms
they are admitted freely, but not in
the freshman halls, I am sure you
will understand why, from the be-
ginning we have not thought it pos
sible to compel men of different races
to reside together" ..-.... ....-.
Bruce. who lives at Kendall, Va,
is the son of Blanche Kelso Bruce,
former registrar of the United States
treasury. He was member of the
class of 1902, won membership in
the Phi Beta Kappa and was chosen
class orator. The son is preparing
to enter Harvard at Phillips Exeter
academy. @,r ..-
According to the newspapers, a
meeting Of several of the Harvard
"raduates who signed a memorial to
President Howell last June opposing
what was asserted to be breaking
# the Harvard tradition as regards
treatment of colored students was
held here Tuesday and was attended
by President Lowell.
Among the signers of the memo
rial, according 10 the paper, was
Moorfeld Storey Of Boston, president
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
A letter written to President Lowell
by Bruce says: = !.
"The policy of compulsory resi-
dence in the freshman halls is costly
indeed, if it is the thing that con-
strains Harvard to enter open-eyed
and brusque on 4 policy of racial dis
elimination. Not race, but culture.

to Justify Purposes

New York.-Owing to the continu-
Gus general misrepresentation made
of the aims and objects Of the Uni
versal NEGRO" Improvement Asso-
citation by the enemies of the move
nient and by the false opinion that
certain colored organizations, So
called leaders and exploiters have
created in the minds of a large num-
Der of white people of America, the
Honorable Marcus -Garvey, President
General of the Universal "Negro"

ed for the purpose of presenting the
association before the world in a
proper light, to make speaking

civilization into that then benighted
continent, is the premise contained in

Bishop Edgar Blake Of the Methodist

Shocking as are the barbarities
ascribed to the Ku Klux- Khan in
Louisiana, they are the natural con-
sequence of the existence of such an
organization. A society whose men,
oers disguise themselves, even to each
other to some extent, and indulge in
awless vengeance on supposed
yrongdoers, is certain to attract per-
ons of the most vicious character.
he baser elements have the oppor-
unity to vent their personal spite on
nemies,- with security against any
'etaliation. The motives for the Mer
Rouge atrocities, for example, are in
7olved in more or less mystery. The
1eneer of civilization is removed from
he vicious at the same time the mask
s put on which prevents them from
eing recognized. Fiendish cruelties
are practiced by a masked mob, the
worst kind of mob.
The Ku Klux Khan will be short
lived because of atrocities commit
ed by it's worst members or even by
persons not members who pose as
'uch. The Khan doubtless contains
many members of a better class, of
;easonably humane instincts and Or
linarily sane, but they will be forced
o desert it, as several of the Mer
Rouge witnesses were, because of its
denominations. When it. is not re-
spectacle in any community, regard
less of its prejudices, to belong to
he Khan, the end of it will be in
sight. It will remain only for the
regular authorities to deal with any
awlessness that occurs, when VIC
:ence is no longer given the mask OF
espectability.
The Khan cannot be compared with
he Vigilantes of Montana or Fascist
Of Italy, because both those organiza-
ions worked openly without fear OF
public opinion. If it were merely
secret, but not lawless, it would not
e different from hundred other
societies. The combination of secrecy
and illegal violence is what condemns

Well. we went down to the big city
on Lake Michigan and saw the big
zest thing in the Windy Town
Shuttle Along" Even after two
years it is all that you hear it is, and
it has Chicago by the heels on a
down-hill drag" In the words of
Roscoe Simons, It. would have done
our" white folks good to have seen
the show. It is not as elaborate as
John Murray Anderson's "Follies,"
out it is vel staged, well dressed, and
especially well sung. It is worth good
money to hear Sissle and Blake sing
and play ""Ain'tcha Coming Back
Mary Ann" to see and hear the tune
ful, dancing browskin chorus; to
hear the Four Harmony Kings; and
o chuckle, laugh and finally roar at
the comedy of Miller and Lyles. The
melodies stay with you for days. The
show certainly deserves its London
engagement.

kLANSMAN SToDDARD

Lothrop Stoddard, writer and essay
list, author of the "Rising Tide of
Color" the "Stakes of the War;" and
other works, and member of the Ku
Klux Klan is to lecture at the Peoples
church next Wednesday night under
the auspices of the St. Paul Institute.
His subjects will be the "Rising Tide
of Color Against White World Su-
premacy" and the PROBLEM of the
Pacific"
Every one who can do so should
hear the speaker if for no other
reason than to find out the kind of
doctrine the enemies of the darker
races are using as propaganda. Mr..
Stoddard is an enemy, not so much
because he is a member of the Khan,
but because he is a pseudo scientist
passing out opinion based on preju-
dice and conjecture rather than scien-
tific data.
DR.. Franz Boas, an eminent anthro-
polcgist of Columbia university, has
characterized the conclusions of Mr..
Stoddard as set forth in the "Rising
Tide Of Color" as fallacious and un-
scientific. The Khan, according to
Hearst's magazine for January, is
making much of this book and its
revelations" It reveals nothing
except that the white man turned
from his policy Of bull-dozing and ag-
grandizement to vicious propaganda.
The authors story of the unrest
among the darker peoples is known to
every student of world affairs and his
figures on the population of the dark
races are part of every school boys
mental equipment. It is not in stat
ing these things but in interpreting
them that the author goes astray-
perhaps wilfully.
The truth of the matter is that the
darker worlds rising, If it is rising,
is not against and because of the
white worlds supremacy, but because
OF and against its ruthless exploita-
ton. The mutterings Of hate and
strife that arise from the yellow,
black and brown corners of the world
come because of the murder, rape and
wallton appropriation of those lands
and peoples by White Supremacy.
Although there win be, no doubt,
some unpleasant, and, perhaps, some
untrue things said of the colored
recess, it will be beneficial to hear Mr..
Stoddard land the Khan on the race
question.

BANDIT HERO IN CUBA
Popularity With People Makes
His Capture Difficult.
ESCAPES From Mantanzas jail ~
Blowing Hole In Wall at Midday
Sentences Totaiing 200 Years
r. Hana Over His Head.

Havana. Cuba.-With sentences Co.
falling 200 years In prison hanging
over his head and 25O troops and
rural guards at his heels, Ramon Ar
royito, Cuba's modern Jesse James, h
still at large His latest feat Of escap-
ing from the jail at Matanzas through
a hole blown in the thick walls at
midday has again made him q popu-
lar hero and added to the difficulties
Of the authorities, for they claim no
body will help them follow his trail.
Arroyito took to the high read
about three years ago, and If the hold
ups, kidnapings and other unlawful
acts attributed to him are well found
ed. he operated In every part Of the
island before he went into retirement
after two years Of hectic endeaver.
and with a fortune variously estE
mated at from $4,000 to 100000.
But last spring, while very prosa-
ically travelling from Matanzas to q
nearby village to attend a cock Eight,
he was captured by two rural guards,
acting as a train escort. who held him
first for carrying arms without q
license, but loaded him with chains
when they discovered he was the No
torious outlaw.
Brought to Havana, Arroyito was
greeted by thousands at the railway
station and his trip to the city jail
resembled q triumphal procession.
While being tried and convicted On
numerous counts he perfected his
plans for breaking loose from Jail, and
only the accidental presence Of q
mounted policeman on the harbor side
Of the jail prevented clean getaway
three months ago. -.
His escape from the Matanzas jail,
where he was lodged to await trial
for kidnapping, Is credited to a former
pal, Julio Ramirez, whom Arroyito
once rescued from Jail at Jaruco By
holding up the warden and turkeys
singie-handed In broad daylight.
