Signing Paper.

CAIRO, October (Jew!sh Tele-
graphic Agency)-Eing Eussein OF
the Hedjaz. former grand sheret OF
Mecca and recently self-proclain,ed I'd
caliph of all the faithful Moslerns, re-
signed at 9 o'clock Friday evening
from both the Hedjaz kingdom and
Moslem caliphate throne
The king put his signature to the
prepared abdication document after
he had spent many hours in prayer
and in wireless communication with
his sons. Feisal, the king of Mesop-
otamia, and Abdullah, the ruler of
Transjordania.
Aimed to Save Mecca.
With tears in his eyes, Hussein de-
clared to his friends that he was re-
ti-ing only temporarily because Of
his desire TO protect the hol!est CO
holy Mos!e-n cities, Mecca, s-o.. being
q center os strife ard the possible OBJ
ject ot destruction. Ie, az the same
t:--e, expressed his hope that the az
ts.s1.!c Congress, wh!c!2 viii convene
500. - Cairo, will re-elect him. The
newly formed government has sent
delegates to Sultan Ibn Saoud. lead
er of the Wahabi forces TO arrange
for terms of peace before he enters
Mecca
The Intentions and the proposed
cousst of action of the resigninE king
and caliph are not known yet, but it
was stated he would proceed to Meso-
potamia to seek shelter under the
scepter of his son, Feisal. Hussein's
family treasure has been rescued and
brought from Mecca to Jeddah.
The Hashimite family, King Hus-
sein and his two sons, came into the
limelight of Arabia in June, 1916,
when Hussein, at that time grand
shereef of Mecca, after prolonged ne
gotiations with representatives of
Great Britain and the allies, threw off
the mask of loyalty to the Ottoman
empire and commenced hostilities
against the Turkish army with a
small group of Bedouins whom he in
duced to take the field against Tur-
key.
Subsequently, Hussein proclaimed
himself King of HedjaZ, and on
March T. 1924, after the compulsory
abdication of the Sultan of Turkey,
he was proclaimed caliph by group
of Moslems, representing Transjorda-
MIA, Palestine, Mesopotamia and He'd
JAZZ.

Arabic family with century-old pre-
tensions to the caliphate, based on
their direct descent from the prophet.
encountered great difficulties in his
aspirations toward the caliphate AL
though practically master of the
Arabic countries, he could not obtain
the sympathy Of the whole Moslem
world.
His main opponent proved to be
Sultan Ibn Saoud Of Nejd, central
Arabia, ~the leader Of the fanatic
sect of the Wahabs. Ibn Saoud. also
a scion of an ancient family of Ara bia
and who claims direct descent from
Mohammed, was antagonistic to Hus-
seins family. in the observance of

JACKASS PARTY
FOR BUSINESS
SAYS KEYNOTER
Harrison Frankly Tells
Who Are Masters

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New
York, June "a 1.-THE Democratic
Party is a friend of business, big and
small" Thus did Senator Pat Har-
rison sound the keynote for the demo-
cratic convention opening here this
morning. I'VE are for honest bust
ness" he said, land honesty in oper-
alton"
1t was a dull and uninspiring
speech. All about corruption of the
republicans and the honesty of the
democrats. The first ten sentences
contained the word corruption" It
sounded like an airing of scandals in
the closing sessions of the senate.
Democratic taxation plans, the tar
if. and the graft of the republican
administration will be the leading
democratic issues. Not a hint even
about the problems of the working
people; not a suggestion of concrete
relief for the bankrupt farmers; not
a mention Of the growing army of I'M
employed industrial workers; I'VE are
for business" was indeed the keynote
of the democratic convention, just as
1t was of the republican convention.

PHILADELPHIA, June "a, = The
lynching evil will be the principal
issue before the annual conference of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of the Colored People which
begins its sessions tomorrow. James
Weldon Johnson, secretary of the
Association will present the latest facts
on lynch outrages and give a report of
the progress towards a federal anti
lynching law.
johnson will hit hard at the Ku
Klux Klan's activities in Indiana and
other northern industrial states. The
associations secretary will show that
assaults on the Negroes are no longer
confined to the South. Since the great
Negro migration northward intoler-
ance, discrimination and violence are
increasing in the states north of the
Mason and Dixon line.
G. o. p. Is Anti-Negro.
The matter of federal antilynching
law will be earnestly discussed at the
conference. Failure has so far met the
attempts to put thru the Dyer bill
The Republican party has proved to
be anti-Negro as well as the Demo
cratic Party which additionally stands
for Negro enslavement. The late pres
ident Harding's declaration that he
would stand against social equality of
the Negro has settled all doubts on
that matter.
Disguised with old Parties.
The National Association is both a
fact-presenting and egislative-lobby-
ing organization. Until now it has
held to the same policy as Samuel
Gompers, of trying to get something
done for its cause thru the capitalist
parties. A change is impending. Many
of the persons active in the organiza-
tion are so disguised with the anti
Negro attitude of both the old parties
that they are considering the idea of
supporting new political movement
free from capitalist constraints in eff
fecting justice.
But Davis Will Speak.
The association is not a working
class affair, however, and conservative
tactics still dominate. This is illus
trated in the choice of Theodore f..
Burton of Ohio, Secretary of Labor
James A. Davis and Senator David L.
Walsh Of Massachusetts, as speakers.
Mildly setting off these labor haters
are John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the
Community Church of New York and
James Weldon johnson.
Glass Organization ls Need.
But the fact that respectable and
conservative methods are not getting
racial equality for the Negroes, is
forcing attention of such issues as
class organization of black and white
workers together-this pressure is
coming from the outside but it is felt
even within the N. A. A. C. p.
