THE CAMPAIGN FOR
JUSTICE FOR NEGRO
RACE PROGRESSES

NEWARK, N j., May Elm an
editorial under the above caption the
Newark, NJ J. Evening News has the
following to- say:
There has come a notable dimin-
ution in the crime of lynching. The
annual report of the National Asso'
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People gives the figures tell
ing the story, Last year there We're
only 16 lynchings in the United
States as against 2S in 1923, 81 in
1922, ga in 1921, and IS i'm 1920.
For the thirty years prior to 1919
the average number of lynchings per
year was 10Y.
During the past year the Govern
ment took up the cases of 55 mem
bers of the Twenty-fourth United
States Infantry sent to Leavenworth
for life Or for long terms in 1917 as
a result of rioting at Houston, Texas
during the War, for which crime l9
of their fellows were hanged by the
military authorities. In every case
the terms of these men were reduced
after an investigation. 20 of them
were released last year, and the last
of these prisoners will be given
freedom in 1928.
"There was also last year the case
of a member of the National Guard
of Alabama who was convicted OF
second degree murder for participat-
ing in a lynching and was sentenced
to serve eighteen years in the peni-
Tertiary. In many cases of attempt
ed lynch'ng II is recorded that sher1
ifs have removed their prisoners for
safe keeping, and in others the local
National Guard unit has been ordered
out by the Governor.
Perhaps race prejudice has not
been altered in any degree in the
past five years, but it is apparent
from the figures that the Negro is
getting more in the way of justice
than was the case when mob violence
was frequently in evidence.

H MI T. ERECT BUILDING
At BURKEV|LLE FOR
STATE SAN|TAR|UM

The Negro Organization Society Of
Virginia, whose membership is COM
posed of churches Sunday schools,
public school leagues, lodges and
societies and other uplift organiza-
tions in the State, is committed to
the task of raising Ten Thousand
($10,000) Dollars, to supplement
fund of Fifteen Thousand ($15,0OO)
Dollars which has been secured by
DR. E. G. Williams, State Health
Commissioner. for the erection OF
another building at Piedmont Sana'
torium The purpose Of the new
hui ding is to relieve the present
crowded condition at the Sanatorium
which often makes 1t necessary for
applicants 10 wait from two to three
months for admittance owing to- the
shortage of beds. =.
In recent meeting of the Central
Committee o. the Society, DR.. M. E.
Davis, of Portsmouth, was appointed
chairman Of the State wide commit
tee, created to conduct the campaign.
with authority to appoint suitable
persons in every city and county, to
direct the work in their respective
localities; every city and county be-
ing asked to raise certain amount.
To- facilitate the work of raising
this $4,000, the Governor of our
State, Hon. E. Lee Trinkle, has per-
mitted the issue of supply of Good
VIII Bonds, which are being sold
at one dollar each, and the proceeds
turned to this fund.
As the director of this movement,
Rev Mr.. Davis, is asking all min
sssers, teachers, farm demonstration
agents. supervising industrial teach
ers and all other representative citi-
zens TO form committees and assist
with the raising of the quotas that
have been assigned their respective
counties or cfties-assured that II
these forces organize, and work the
required amount will be raised with
in a few weeks.
The chairman reports that Rich.
mond's quota is $4,000, and that Mrs
M. l.. Walker has consented to head
the drive in the capital city. He
also states that ministers and teach
ers in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Hampton
| Roanoke, Lynchburg, Petersburg, and
other cities are heartily cooperating.
Several ministers in Norfolk and
Portsmouth have agreed to raise
800 each in their respective church
es. The doctors, says DR.. Davis, are
also giving special assistance in these
cities.
Among the counties organized to
date. encouraging reports are being
received from Essex, Middlesex, King
and Queen, Westmoreland, Lancaster
Accomac, Northampton, King Will
liam and Mecklenburg counties.
Persons interested in this plan Of
helping tuberculosis sufferers to have
chance to get we'll, but who live in
a city or county where no agent has
/ been appointed should write directly
to Rev M. E. Davis, 1245 Glasgow
street, Portsmouth, Va.

HOTEL SET ON FIRE TO COVER
UP MURDER.
nresto, New "rvirr

IRONTON, O., May 6.-Charles
Turner, aged 81 years, in a signed
confession last Tuesday, according to
the police, confessed that Frank Wat
kins. whose lifeless body was found
on the sidewalk in front Of the
O'Brien Hotel here early in the
of April 10, was first slugged
with an improvised blackjack and
robbed and his body thrown from a
second story window after the build
ing had been fired to cover up the
crime. Charles Jackson, aged 35
years, was named by Turner as the
man who struck Watkins and later
threw him from the window. Fol-
lowing the fire it was at first thought
that Watkins was killed when he
jumped from the window to escape
the flames.
