Texas In New Move

NEW YORK, June 20-Despite
the clear pronouncement OF the
United States Supreme Court in the
Texas White Primary case won last
year by the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, holding primary elections
part of the machinery of voting
and prohibiting the barring of Ne
groes by state enactment, Texas poll
ticians are now planning to exclude
Negroes from the primaries in that
state.
After the Texas White Primary
law was held unconstitutional. the
Texas legislature placed power to
fix qualifications for voters in the
hands of the state executive CON-
mittees of the various parties.

mates that between 1000 and
5000 Negroes will be barred from
the polls in Bexar County alone,
where the state chairman has writ

ing himself in favor of barring Ne

Texas Mob Seizes
Victim in Hospital

HOUSTON, Tex, June 20.-(Spe-
cial This city which is soon to be
host for the National Democratic
Convention, was the scene of lynch
ing early today when Bob Powell,
24-year-old Race man, was siezed in
a local hospital by five masked
men who took him to the outskirt
of the city, hung him to bridge
and riddled his body with buck
shot.
Powell was a prisoner in Jeffer-
son Davis hospital, where he lay
dying of wounds received in a des-
perate battle with police, who ac-
cuse him of numbering A. w. Davis,
city detective. Powell denied the
murder. The masked gang boldly
entered the hospital. went to the
bed where Powell fay unguarded and
carried him to an automobile and
drove away. The bridge. where the
victim was lynched. is Just outside
the city limits and on a popular
highway. Attendants in the hospital
which is a county-city institution,
offered no resistance to the gang.

Recorder Of Deeds Dept, Only Office
In Washington, D. C., With Negro Chief

not one has ever been charged with
mishandling of funds; in fact, the
record of the personnel along this
line is absolutely clear.
The, present recorder received con-
siderable publicity during the recent
months because of an attempt by
the Federal Bureau of Efficiency to
place the office under the District
Government. The bureau conducted
a survey of Mr.. Froe's' office, and
made some 21 recommendation. The
Recorder adopted fifteen of them,
and several he could not adopt either
because they required authority
FROM Congress or they were imprac-
ticable. Unable to have its way in
this matter, the bureau began cam
paign of propaganda to force the
retirement Of the present head and
to have Congress to pass acts put
ting the office under the local gov
ernment. In both it was unsuc-
cessful. a as
The Recorders Office is one Of
the. few important government divi-
sions that is not operating under
Civil Service. Because Of this fact,
competent colored men and women
experience less difficulty in secur-
ing recognition and placement than
in any other office under the Federal
Government. Moreover. colorcd en-

Froe, is the senior member of the

Virginia, composed of Harry j. Cape
hart, Assistant United States District
Attorney for the Southern District

Ter. The majority of this firms eli
ents are white. Mr.. Froe has de-
voted all of his time to administering
the affairs of his office. He is quiet,
firm, efficient, and fair, and because
of his conscientious efforts, he has
done much to create favorable SEN
timent for our group in the National

A. N. P. Reporter Discovers Vardaman,
Negro Halter, Is Now In Insane Asylum

II finds the lowest common denomi-
nation of the trained and the UNI
trained Negro, the thoughtful and
the thoughtless, the clean and the

all of his life in the development of
his mind, his character, and certain
ideals of comfort and convenience
must reduce himself, without at
least. to the status of the most ig-

New Meanest Man Steals
Shirt Off Jesse James

NEW ORLEANS, La. June 49,
(ANP)--The meanest and nerviest
man on record lives in this city, ac-
cording to the. proprietor of wax
works museum that is exhibiting in
the heart of the colored section on
South Rampant Street. Two weeks
ago the museum pitched its tents in
a vacant store at 323 South Ram
part Street, and by means of spell
ers and gaudy banners invited the
passers-by to invest dime and see
the wonders of the age. 1t was a
pretty fair collection of figures even
for that price. All the noted men
and women of history were repre-
sented. Business was good. Last
Saturday night when the proprietor
was counting his receipts and smil-
ing, he discovered that someone had
stolen the shirt off Jessie James. 1t
must have been a colored man, as
no whites had visited the show that
evening. The police were notified,
but up to now Jessie is without a
shirt.

Four Professors
Are Dismissed AT
Howard University

WASHINGTON, d. c.. June 20.-
(SpeciaD--Four professors, charged
by students with having conducted
themselves unbecoming to instruct
ors, were dismissed by orders of the
board of trustees at Howard Uni
versity this week.
Those against whom action was
taken were: DIR. Lorenzo d. Turner,
professor of English; Moses Frank
lin Peters. an instructor in English;
William Henry Jones, professor of
sociology; and Albert Sydney Beck
ham. assistant professor in psychol-
ogy.
Dismissal of the professors fol-
lowed a long drawn-out' considera-
ton of charges presented by the stu
dent council some time ago and
printed in Hilltop, the student
publication.
The article in Hilltop" accused
certain professors of undue familiar
ity with girl students. II was writ
ten by Walker II. Jordan and when
ne was summoned before the special
accused professors were given.
Active also in the case against the
professors was student committee
which laid before DR.. Mordecai W.
Johnson, president Of Howard, and
the faculty discipline committee the
specific charges upon which the
boards action was finally taken.
In the case of Professor Turner,
it was charged that he made ad-
vances to one of the girl students.
1t was stated that this young woman
appeared before the faculty commit
toe and charged the English profes
sor with having stated that he ad-
mired her and that he was planning
TO obtain a divorce from his wife.
Moses Franklin Peters was charged
with having kissed one of the stu
dents during a rehearsal in a play.
He admitted the charge, but de-
clared that he had beforehand taken
the matter up with the dean of wo-
men and that she had tentatively
given her assent in view of the fact
that the student cast for the part
had dropped out.
Among the charges against Pro-
fessor William Henry Jones were
charges that he had discussed i'm
proper sex questions in his mixed
classes.
Some of the instructors were also
charged with dancing the Bump"
in the presence of students at social
affairs here.
At first the professors in question
were called in by President Johnson
and asked to resign. It was only af-
ter their refusal to resign that the
J acrion of the board was taken.
