Board Member Blames Du B0is
and New York Alumni
for Outbreak.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 13.-Fol-
lowing rowdy demonstrations against
the school administration by the
male students, more than a score of
police officers were rushed to the
campus of Fisk University at 1880
o'clock. Wednesday night, to quell a
riot there.
The officers had little difficulty in
restoring order and placing more
than 100 students under arrest, but
II was after 400 o'clock this morn
ing before President F. A. McKin-
zie had interviewed the recalcitrants
and extracted from them promises to
either obey the rules of the school,
catch the next train out of town, or
be prosecuted on a charge of rioting.
All of the students with the excep-
tion of FIVE who were arrested at the
outbreak Of the riot and sent to the
police station agreed to abide by the
rules of the school in the future.
The cause of the origin is of no
recent date, but, according to state
ments by members of the faculty and
students, although their reasons are
slightly different, 1t dates back al
most FIVE years.

years, is a member of the board of
trustees of Fisk, and made the fol-
lowing statement:
THE trouble which has come to

tivity of DR.. w. E. B. Dubois. and a
group of sympathetic alumni in New

National Association for the Advance

headquarters in New York, and is
editor of The Crisis. a magazine de-
voted to the cause. He is a graduate
of Fisk. man of ability, fine writer
and fluent speaker; but a fanatic
upon the race issue. He is well rec
ognized as an extremist upon that
Subject.
He is anti-Southern in his atti-
tude. He made war on Booker
Washington when he was struggling
to put Tuskegee on its feet. He said
that Washington was giving too much
prominence to industrial education
and not enough to classical.
Last June at commencement DR..
Dubois, much to the surprise Of ev-
eryone. made an attack upon the ad-

president of Fisk. He assailed 1t
from several viewpoints. He wants

In the custody OF several United
states deputy marshalls. Garvey was
taken from New York Saturday, Feb
Z, to Atlanta, after losing his appeal
for a new trial last Monday in the
United States circuit court of ap,
peals. And according to his con-
viction in June. 1923, must serve the
sentence on a charge of using the

stock in the Black Star steamship
line.
Arrested Aboard Train.
AS New York Central train from
Detroit rolled into the 125th st. sta
tion at 6 o'clock Thursday evening,
several deputy marshals, under the
leadership of James Amos, a member
of our group and former bodyguard
of the late Colonel Roosevelt, board
ed the train and held it up until they
made a search.
While going through one of the
Pullman cars Amos sighted Garvey
comfortably beside his wife. Smil-
ingly Amos informed Marcus that he
was under arrest and handcuffed
him to- one of the marshals. Great
commotion then took place and Gar
vey few into rage. He protested
bitterly, but the deputies followed
out their Instructions and he wa.
hurried to the Tombs, where he was
placed behind the bars.
Mrs. Garvey was left standing a,
the station with the baggage. The
honorable African president forgot
to bid her goodbye. She wept and
made a brave effort to persuade the
deputies to "listen to reason" But
it did no good.
Before being sent to Atlanta Gar.
vey pleaded with Judge Hand to
allow him to remain here three days
at liberty, pending application his
attorney would make the United
States supreme court for a writ OF
certiorari. This was denied him. He
was also denied the permission to
make a speech.
The Cuban government at Havana
is said to have seized the Booker T,

which was recently acquired under
the flag of the Black Cross steam
ship company. This ship, captained

The financial condition of Garvey's
new enterprise, the Black Cross

more favorable than the defunct

chancellor of the U. N. I. A., showed
several certified checks to the
amount of $1O1.S31, which he said
had been paid the Panama Railroad
company for the Booker T. Washing

of the association will be conducted

latest reports, they are: William H,
