The funeral of Mrs. Anna Howell,
the beloved wife of Mr.. Thomas
Howell, of 1919 Decatur Street took
place Sunday at 1890 from the First
Baptist Church A large gathering
of sympathizing friends were present
to pay the last tribute of respect to
one they had known for long num-
Der of years. Mrs. Howell had been
sick for many months, but she bore
her illness with patience and Christ
ian fortitude
Rev. DR. w. L. Ransome officiated
and spoke in glowing terms of the
deceased. Mrs. Mary V. Binga sang
very touchingly, sleep On Beloved. "
Resolutions were read from the va
rious organizations of which the
deceased was a member. The beau
tiful grey silver casket with velour
gates ajar, Pueblo silver trimmings,
was borne by Messrs. Junius Cogbill
Willie Winfree, Samuel Johnson, AL

were: Mesdames. Matte Cunning

The floral designs were many and
costly. The interment was made in

the payment of bail-bond fee of
500 each, the employment of coun-
sci and divers other annoyances and
the only redress is the announcement
that they will not be required to
return to Hopewell and the matter
will be dropped. Is this fair? Is
it just?
Some of our white friends have
lost sight of another fact and that
is that had boat load of white
excursionists been similarly treated,
it would have led to bloodshed. 1t
is a ringing tribute to the law
abiding instinct of the eolored people
in that they obeyed the officers Of
the law here implicitly, just as they
had been taught to do by their lead
ers. They were fairly boiling"
with indignation, but at no time did
they take any violent action.
To our mind, this case should be
heard in this city before Judge of
record upon writ of habeas corpus
and the matter decided. Some of
these innocent excursionists were put
in Jail. We learn that the bail bond
has been Initiated.

what they did was not committed
with any unlawful intent.
We hope that our people will con
tinue to be patient and law-abiding,
seeking redress in the courts of the
commonwealth and taking no hasty
action in the premises. Our view
of the matter is that counsel should
be retained, not to protect any col
ored person from punishment, but to
a precedent that high
standing, humble, law-abiding citi-
zens cannot be arrested and punished
with impunity upon an illegal pre-
sentiment, when they have committed
no offense against the laws of the

CARNEY BUYS. SHIP TO TAKE
NEGROES TO AFRICA; 5000
PAY so CENTC EACH TO VIEW
1T AT PIER.

New York, August 10.-Three
thousand members Of the Universal
Negro Improvement Association now
holding its annual convention at Lib
erty Hall, on 138th Street between
Seventh and Lenox Avenues, paid so
cents each yesterday to inspect the
steamship General George, W. Goe-
thals at the foot Of West twenty
fourth Street following an announce
ment by their President, Marcus
Garvey, that he had purchased the
vessel to carry them back to Africa.
About 1000 Negroes were stand
ing in line waiting their turn to go
aboard when the downpour of rain
came and caused stampede for
shelter. Most of them were drenched.
A number of young Negroes man
aged to get on board without paying.
The General Goethals; is single
screw steamship, built in 1911 at
Bremen as the Grunewald and IN
termed during the war. She was
operated by the Shipping Board and
afterward by the Panama Railroad
and Steamship Company, which is
owned by the United States Govern
ment. She is 4,418 gross tonnage,
353 feet 1 inch long, and 4S feet z
inches beam. She has accommoda-
tom for seventy first class and one
hundred second class passengers:
Garvey said the General Goethals
would start on her first trip to ia
maica about October 18th and leave
for Liberia in November. The vessel
will lbe manned, he added, by white
officers and a Negro crew.
'Garvey refused to say how much
he had paid for the steamship or
from whom he had bought it. In a
statement to the Universal Negro
Improvement Association Garvey
said: 'A's fast as we can acquire
capital we will invest in more ships
until we have established regular
route between America and Africa
for carrying the Negroes who are de-
sirous of repatriating themselves"
The company which will operate
the steamship after the name has
been changed to Booker T. Washing
ton. Garvey said, is the Black Cross
Navigation and Trading Company,
whose 100000 stock is held by the
Improvement Association.
Garvey is out on bail pending an
appeal from a conviction for using
the mails to defraud in stock sales
of the Black Star Line.

$4,000 DAMAGE SUIT
AGAINST EDITOR WITHDRAWN
preston News Service.)


Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 2O.-Tbe
$4,000 damage suit instituted in
Knox county circuit court by the
Standard Life Insurance Company of
Atlanta, Ca, against Webster L.
Porter, editor and publisher of the
East Tennessee News, was dismissed
Saturday morning when the attorney
for the complainant appeared in
court and asked that the suit be ter
minated with a non-suit proceedings.
The suit grew out of an article
published in the East Tennessee
News in which Herman E. Perry,
president Of the Standard Life In
surance Company, was charged with
underhand Vaccinations in connec-
ton with the purchase and sale Of
the Mississippi Life Insurance Com
pany deal.
Editor Porter says: "The action
of Mr.. Perry in dropping his suit
was just as we expected, at the time
it was filed. 1t was plain to many
who know the tactics of the Atlanta
promoter that the hurried filing of
the $4,000 damage suit was merely
his 'grasping at straw and was
designed to divert the attention of
the public from the real facts as had
been given to the public through
the columns of the Knoxville publ
cation. We believe that our action
in giving the public this information
not only saved the insurance COM
pany in question, but has served to
greatly arouse the promoters of
other concerns to the need of exer-
cising the greatest amount of care in
handling their affairs"
