LET DIRECTORS RUN THEIR OWN
BUS LINES, SHE SAYS.

Editor The News Leader:
Sir,-May l address this directly
to &C. H. B." and. an. B. l.. N.?'
You and your ilk had better estab
lish private bus line for your own
use, It's too blamed bad you can't
ride in the same street car or bus
with a colored person! Why don't
you drive your own car if you are
so fussy? But even then, 1 don't
suppose you could do that much
work unless you had colored
chauffeur! It's wonder you ana
your kind would even ride in your
own car when there is a Negro
driving it!
You are the poor things and
not the colored people, as &C. H. B."
so slightingly calls them.
If to be Southerner, one has to
be so narrow-minded, so one-sided,
so selfish, and so foolishly "stuck"
on ones self-to have such foolish
superiority complex" suppose you
might call it-then thank God that
I'm not a Southerner!
I suppose both these people th"r
hide behind the initials Of &c. H.
b." and IN. B., L. NJ" are either
some crabby dyspeptic old maids, or
else some conceited snobs that have
a Job in some insurance or real es-'
tate office downtown, and think they
own the universe!
I'll bet both of you go to church
every Sunday and worship your God
the God that knows no color or
creed. And then on Monday morn
ing you draws up your skirts in
horror, and say "unclean," because
a Negro rode to work in the same
car! How terrible! Why don't you
put them all in jail, or exile them to
Russia? Or kill them all off? Then
you wouldn't be bothered! Oh piffle!
I only wish the News Leader could
print exactly what 1 think of you
and your kind-but it would be un.'
printable!
Suppose FTenchman, or Swede
or Chinaman, or Mexican was on
the car or bus? suppose you would
object to the U S. ambassador to
that country! What if the people
are black? A man is a man in the
eyes OF God whether he be black or
white or yellow!
The main trouble with you poor,
ignorant, narrow-minded people Is
that you still think the Negro is
nothing but piece of private pro-
perty to be kicked around as one
chooses! You used to make the Ne
gro do all your work for nothing
now you don't like it because you
have to do a few things yourself!
A Negro is entitled to just as many
rights as you or 1. He has as much
right to enjoy the conyeniences a
bus can give him, as you have! He

is 4 free country, isn't it?
SO buy private bus line, or move
to another country 1--WE won't miss
you-your kind raise more trouble
than all the Negroes put together)
or else mind your own affairs, be a
little tolerant, and let the colored
people attend to their affairs!
And I'm not hiding behind any
initials!

suited from the failure of the plain
tiff to prove that the defendant, the
owner of property in East Hampton

The plaintiff claimed that it fur

was filed and it was upon that lien
that the plaintiff sought to foreclose.
The defendant admitted that the

tracted for by the tenant of

only allows 2 lien when the work is
done by agreement with the owner

impossible for the plaintiff to prove

All Clubs Interested to Have
Representation on Board

James North was chosen president
meeting of representatives OF civic
associations and clubs at the Burriit
hotel yesterday. Other officers elect
ed were: treasurer. Fred Macomber:
secretary. Miss Gladys Day. The
yicce- presidents to be elected We're
left to the choice of the officials
named.
4 committee was named to draw
up bylaws TO govern the association.
The policy and activities of the or
ganization are to be formed by its
officers and board OF governors
TO consist of representatives of all
the clubs identified with the move
ment.
The policy 10 be adopted during
the first year still remains to be de-
clded upon in many details, but will
finally be determined in demo-
cratic spirit, which is assured
through the character of the organ
ization. Even the name of the or
ganization so far is merely tentative,
the choice of a final name remaining
with the officers and the board of
governors.
Arthur G. Kimball was at first
deemed the likely president Of the
association, but Information brought
from him was to the effect that he
could not find the time to shoulder
this responsibility and probably
would be out of the city consid-
cradle part of the time. The choral
society, in which he has been deep
ly interested, is included in the ac-
tivities OF the association.
The plan is to give five first class
attractions in the city at a very
nominal subscription fee. A cam
paign for memberships in the asso-
citation will be carried out for one
week and after that the books will
be closed. 1t is expected to obtain
1000 Or more members OF the as
scciation. and the income from this
source. together with the support of
several hundred sustaining MEM
bers, is believed capable of provid-
ing first class cultural attractions for
New Britain.
Tickets will not be sold to the
general public after the weeks cam
palgn is over, although it is prob
able that a small block of admis-
sions will be set aside for the use of
ut-of-town guests of the associa-
tons members.
The officers and board of COVER
nors have many details of manage
ment to grapple with but the main
point under discussion SO far, that
such an association will be desirable
in this city. has been decided with
practically unanimous feryor.

to be part Of the plane White Bird

have to date proven unsuccessful,
and wing was still at local coast
guard headquarters at the state pier
today. awaiting identification.
Ensign John Helcher. in a coast
guard plane, flew down the coast
from Gloucester. Mass. this morn
ing. landing here at $40 o'clock. He
reported that no wreckage of any
description was sighted by him in
the early morning flight. Ensign
Helcher inspected the wing at the
state pier. but was unable to deter
mine whether 1t was part Of serv-
ice plane, or had come from a
privately owned machine.
Several officers from the United
States naval sub base also viewed
the wing, and took the measure
ments and description, which they
will forward to naval headquarters
at Washington for use by aviation
officials in an effort to determine if
the wing could be from plane that
was lost off the Long Island or New
Jersey coast some time ago.
Army officers were also said to
be on their way to this city from
Washington to inspect the wing In
an effort to determine il 1t came
from any army plane. but up to
late hour today they had not put in
an appearance.
The wing was recovered early
Thursday night in Fort Pond Bay, at
the tip OF Long Island, by the coast
guard patrol boat 290. Due to the
fact that the place where it was
found lies directly in the path that
the French flers would take. and
because it appeared as though the
color of the wing was similar to that
OF the White Bird, it was at first
thought that the finding of the
wing would aid in solving the mys-
terry of the disappearance OF the
French aviators.
