Chicago, ILL.,, (By the Associated

Some difficulty, however, has al
ways been interposed in the paths of
those who attempted to make the

been delayed or determinations in
the matter of transportation have
been inflicted upon them, while other
similar deterrents have operated
against their embarkation.

LOSES
VALUE OF NEGRO
Director of Community Council
Blames City for With
Holding Aid.
(Preston News Service)

St. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 26.-St. Louis
is losing much of the productive
value of the Negro as a worker and
as an intelligent citizen by failing to
supply the race with the same public
educational, recreational and indus
trial advantages offered white citi-
zens, Elwood Street, director of the
Community Council, told the Educa-
tion Committee of the College Club
Wednesday afternoon.
"The Negro must be housed ade-
quately and decently for others as
well as themselves. Under present
conditions a Negro family often lives
in one room and frequently has
boarders in addition. Such conges-
tion is a serious menace to the
health and well being of the CITY," he
declared.
'1mmorality is more prevalent
among Negroes; there is delinquen-
cy among the children and all be-
cause the city does not provide ade-
quate Fairgrounds education, nor
provide him with the same oppor-
tunities of making good use of his
leisure. If we expect the Negro to
be good citizen we must give him
the facilities to become So"

Extravagant Praise Given Col
ored Artists; Lawrence Brown
at Piano Makes Flawless Per-
fOrmance. >r>
IN. A. A. G. P. Press Service)

IN. A. A. G. P. Press Service)
Paul Robson, accompanied by
Lawrence Brown, in program of
Negro Spirituals, achieved a triumph
in Chicago on February 10, accord
ing to reports and clippings received
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
The musical critic of the Chicago
Herald and Examiner wrote that
Robeson's voice was lone of the
most beautiful in the world" and
said the singer "moved his listeners
to tears, to laughter and to shouted
demands for repetitions.
The Chicago Evening Post critic
wrote of the singing: 1T is some
thing the Negro has in his heart
that no other race can touch. There
was nothing that savored of vocal eff
feet, but all seemed to flow spon-
taneously from the very spirit of the
thing. Lawrence Brown gave
him just the right kind of support at
the piano and AIDED many fine singing
bits himself
The Chicago Daily Journal critic
reported that Robson sang his
songs last night with a voice of un-
usual beauty" and that "his singing
of them seemed perfectly spon-
taneous, just as his vocal equipment
appeared to be as natural as it was
fine"
The Chicago Daily Tribune's critic:
''It was undoubtedly the mellowest,
gentlest, most appealing voice of the
year, that of Paul Robesons at the
Orchestra Hall last night. .
Here were two greatly talented and
highly skilled artists. Their pro-
gram was delight"
Chicago Evening American: For
these two men are genuine artists
and their singing, to Browns play
ing, is something more than art,
while it is as well delightful and
stimulating diversion. And
they carry the public with them ev-
cry step of the way"

Death Sentence Made, Reversed.
Life Imprisonment Dictated;
Case of Collins Now to Get
New Trial.

IN. A. A. C. P. Press Service)
After a series of legal battles be-
ginning in 1922, the Houston, Texas,
Branch of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, has obtained freedom from
Jail under $4,000 bond, for Luther
Collins, originally charged with as
sault, and sentenced to death.
His death sentence was reversed
by the Texas Court of Criminal Ap-
peals, and Collins was again tried in
1924, the jury failing to agree after
40 hours deliberation.
Case Appealed.
Collins was then tried again and
given life Imprisonment. On appeal
from this decision, the court of
Criminal Appeals, remanded the case
for another trial Venue was chang
ed to Washington County, where it
is now proposed to try him March 8.
The Houston N. A. A. c. P. has
stubbornly and relentlessly fought
this series of legal battles in the
Texas courts, convinced of the inno-
cence of Luther Collins of the crime
charged against him.
In making public this newest de-
velopment the N. A. A. C. P. pointed
out that there can be little doubt of
Collins innocence when he, a Negro,
being tried in Texas for rape of a
white woman, had one jury unable
to agree, another unwilling to give
him the death penalty, had two re-
versals of convictions from the Texas
court of Criminal Appeals, and now
secures release on nominal bond
after four years of Imprisonment.

% On. A. A. G. p. Press Service)
At meeting of a subcommittee,
appointed by the Committee on the
Judiciary of the U. s. Senate, to hold
a hearing on the McKinley-Dyer
anti-lynching bill, in Washington,
D. c., on Tuesday, February 16,
James Weldon Johnson, secretary of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, pre-
sented arguments for the enactment
of the measure into law.
Mr.. Johnson presented Thirty
Years of Lynching," with supple
ments to date, the first and only au-
thoritative compilation on the sub
ject in this country, published by the
N. A. A. C. P.
Cases Cited.
Mr.. Johnson cited a number Of
atrocities which took place in 1925,
including the lynching of an insane
Negro in Georgia; the burning alive
of two men; and the lynching of
Lindsey Coleman in Mississippi i'm
mediately after jury had acquitted
him of the charge of murder.
''The McKinley-Dyer anti-lynching
bill is not force bill," said Mr..
Johnson, mot nearly as much so as
the prohibition enactments. 1t is
rather a federal penal measure which
would operate only where states are
unable or unwilling to act.
THE nation surely cannot deem
itself powerless to protect it's citizens
within its own borders. Lynching is
not limited to Negroes. In fact, of
the total of 1863 persons lynched
since 1889, no less than 1872 were
white"
Rape Merely Bugaboo.
Mr.. Johnson pointed out that rape
had never been first among the
crimes alleged as provoking lynching,
and that less than one-fifth of the
lynching victims had even been &C
cused of rape, in addition to the fact
that 90 women have been lynched.
Declaring that the honor and safe
ty of the United States were at stake,
Mr.. Johnson said: "The United
States is the only civilized, or un-
civilized spot on earth where a hui
man being may be burned alive with
immunity. 1 think it sound to say

Washington, D. c., Feb. 26.-At
its meeting Wednesday afternoon the
board appeared disappointed over a
report on the recent student strike
at Armstrong Technical High School
as made by Assistant Superintendent
of Schools G. C. Wilkinson. He was
ordered to make another report at
the next meeting of the school board
putting responsibility for the strike
directly on the shoulders of some
one.
Want Blame Fixed.
In his report Mr.. Wilkinson said
he had not found evidence that any
member of the faculty at Armstrong
had taken an active part in the stu
dent "walkout," but he had estab-
lished that most of the faculty knew
what was going on, and after the
strike was called they failed to meet
the situation.
He said he particularly blamed
Charles M. Thomas and Miss Helen
Crawford, student council sponsors,
who failed to "sit in" on the council
meetings at which the strike was dis
caused. Mr.. Greenwood said he was
opposed to making the council spon-
sors the goats" but that he did
want responsibility placed where ii
belonged and a definite recommen-
dation for action from Mr.. Wilkin-
son.

SUPREME COURT
OF OHIO RULES
AGAINST DAYTON
High Judiciary Bars Discrimin-
alton in Public Schools;
Dayton Hit Hard.
Ruling Is Unanimous
Charge Made that COlOred Chill
dren Forced to Have Separ-
ate Classes, Entrance.

Columbus, Ohio.-Ending a long
fight against segregation of colored
children in separate schools, the SUI
preme court of Ohio has rendered
decision barring such discriminatory
practice.
This decision affirms the decision
of the Montgomery county Court of
Appeals which had ruled against seq
regation as a result of contest be-
gun by Earl Reese when colored chill
dren were refused admittance to the
same classes and buildings used by
white children at the Garfield school
in Dayton.
Unanimous Ruling.
The ruling was by unanimous vote,
with Chief Justice Darlington T.
Marshall writing the opinion. The
decision follows a similar case,
fought a year ago by the N. A. A.
C.. P. in the Willard school where it
had been sought to place colored chill
dren in classes in the school base
ment and to make them enter the
building through a rear entrance.
This case bears a striking similari
ty to the former one.
The colored citizens brought suit
against the Dayton Board of Educa-
tion charging that in the Garfield
district Negroes "were required to
occupy a separate part of the school
premises with separate entrances and
exits to the school building"
N. A. A. C. p. Sends Help.
The N. A. A. c. P. sent Robert W..
Bagnall, it's Director of Branches, to
Dayton; worked in conjunction with
the Parents Protective Association,
held meetings and helped to raise
funds for the struggle. The Dayton
branch of the N. A. A. C. P, through
Rev. ]. N. Samuels-Belboder has TAX
en- an active part in fighting these
cases.
The Ohio Supreme Courts decision
is based on a similar ruling made by
the Court 3S years ago in similar
cases originating in Hamilton and
Butler counties.
