FIGHTS MOVE
TO SECRECATE

NEW YORK Sept IA move
ment to make 1871 lynchless year.
to- urge economic seH-support, and
self protection of civil rights, was
adopted by the Executive Council
of the Equal Rights League at a
largely attended mass meeting on
Monday in the Holy Trinity Baptist
Church of Brooklyn, Rev. T. s. Hor-
ten, pastor.
Mass meetings were held in the
Fleet st. A. M. Il. Zion Church, Sun
day afternoon, and st. Marks M. Z.
Church of New York City on Mon
day evening to protest against the
colored people being driven out Of
Rockaway Beach,
Some of the Jewish and Irish
residents of Rockaway Beach under
the leadership of DR.. Kern and a
newspaper, called "The Wave of
Long Island" are inaugurating a
movement to oust colored people.
Urging the League and churches
to fight this move Rev. Horten said:
They are not only stopping you
from bathing at the beach, but they
are going further. They are plan
ming to make law that they will
not sell to colored, and will not rent
to cclored. They will go further,
Just as soon as they find white
family to move in they will dispos-
sess the colored family and supplant
colored by white servants. II we
hold our peace, those folks will come
over to Brooklyn and New York and
will push their prejudice to Brook
lyn, to New York, to New England
and the West. If we don't stop this
move, it will effect us from one end
of the country to the other"
Zone white minister wrote: God
made the Negro a distinct race and
He made them black But why did
MT the white man let the Negro stay
black? He jumped in and did some
mixing of blood" the minister said
VIM. Monroe Trotter, the Secre-
tary of the National Equal Rights
League said: Here is one trouble
with our people. A whole lot of our
people don't believe that they are
American citizens the same as white
people are. II is hard to get our
people to understand that they have
earned the right and title to every
privilege that this country affords,
have earned the right and title to
every public place. l don't know
but that Rockaway Beach will be the
real battle ground for our rights
that will lead to equality"

LIBERIA RADIOS
FIRST MESSAGE
TO WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. s.
Official greetings between the WASH
ington and Liberian governments
upon the establishment at Monrovia
of short wave wireless station have
been exchanged through the good
office of an amateur.
G. F. Gaede, of Paterson, N. j.,
Monday informed the State Depart
ment that he had received on his
private radio set a message signed
by Minister of State Barclay of Lii
beria, extending to Secretary Kellogg
his greeting and good wishes. He
added that he would be glad to put
his transmitting apparatus at the
disposal of the State Department,
fer replying to Monrovia The de-
partment took advantage of the Of
fer and replied, expressing satisfac-
tion at the new avenue of communi-
cation between the two countries.
In sending to Liberia 5000 miles
away he is employing a forty-metre
wave length and the signals from
the other end come back so loud
that sometimes he can hear them
ON the loud speaker. So far Gaede
has succeeded in getting in commu-
nication with Liberia every time he
tried, which was every day except
Tuesday last week. He usually does
it from $3.50 p. m. on and he con-
tinues for about two hours using a
Hartley circuit 775 watts.
During the week he has trans
mitted for several business firms in
New York. There has been consid-
erable difficulty recently in transmit
ting cable messages to that country.
1t usually takes three days to CON-
municate through that medium.
According to Gaede. new wire

in Monrovia, capital of Liberia. by

Liberian Government. to be known
as Station LAB. 1t will be COM
pleted in sixty days.

since incorporation of the borough

While municipal revenues failed
to equal administrative expenditures
of $5.625 for the year, expenses were
held down through the public spirit

pay, and the collector, the auditor,
and the solicitor and the clerk, who
each receive only $3.50 annually.
Mayor James Hemming makes his

unteer firemen receive no salary and
six policemen support themselves by
odd jobs. When trouble arises they
rush home, don their ornate uni
forms. and hurry to the scene of
disorder
The policemen. however. have had
little to do. Council President John
Brown says there are four bootleg
gers in Lawnside, but not one arrest
for drunkenness was made by the
volunteer officers. There has not
been a murder, robbery or other ,fel-
,ony in the borough durinFt the year.
The borough has an eightaroom

Ninety per cent of its citizens own

Considered Colored
For many years, William Bell was
generally considered colored. He liv-
ed in the colored neighborhood, ate,
slept and worked with colored as
sociates. No one thought of him as
white.
In 1917 he became more prosper
Gus. He was appointed to the police
force and became lieutenant of po-
lice and later night chief Later he
was assistant United States marshall.
From this time on his visits to
colored neighborhoods became less
frequent and more guarded. Finally
Mrs. Bell. her attorney says, went
to Chicago to live in order to keep
under cover.
Visits Ceased
She claims the ex-policeman Wis
tied her there, but after the baby
came his visits ceased.
In reply, Bells attorney declares
that he is not married to Mrs. Bell.
that he is not the father of her
child and not legally nor morally
due to make any financial settle
