Into Her Body

stantly killed at her home Thursday
night around $3.50 o'clock by her
husband, Ionic Allen. After killing
his wife Allen emptied the remains

in his wife's face before killing her.
There were four wounds in the
woman's body. The man was taken
to st. Phillips Hospital where his
condition was reported fair and ne
is expected to recover. Ionic refused
to make statement to the police.
He made known to a Planet report
err that he couldn't talk because his
thraot was sore from the burns OF
the Lysol he had taken:
The couple had three children, a
girl fourteen and two boys, eleven
and eight. The youngest child, John
Allen age was an eye witness to
the murder. He stated that his moth
err and father were quarreling. She
was dressing to go out with his
father, to face man he was accus-
ing her of running with. He asked
her if she were ready and went out
to the wood box. When Ionic came
back he found his wife dressed. He
had a pistol in his hand. She begged
him not to kill her and tried to hold
the gun. The woman was successful
in procuring the gun, and her nus
band began to beat her. He then
threw the Lysol in her face, leveled
the gun and fired at her five times,
four bullets taking effect. He drain
ed the bottle and fell to the floor.
Neighbors stated that the two Of
ten fought and that he attempted to
kill her two weeks before, when she
was badly cut. .,

to take to her bed on hearing of her
daughters death. She said her
daughter had carried Ionic to Court
last Saturday but dropped the case
and the two seemed to have started
life anew. That was why her daugh-
ter wanted to face the man her hus-
hand accused her of so that there
would be no barrier in their new
found happiness.
Sergeant A. G. Miller and ploice-
man c. A. Nunally arrested LONE

result is thus segregation and the
establishment of Jim-Crow schools in
New Rochelle. 1t is our understand.

AppToVeReGoTd
Of Sen. CappeI'

New York, Oct. 3.-The record of
Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas,
who voted against the confirmation
of Judge Parker's nomination to the
Supreme Court, and who has been a
loyal member of the Board of Direc-
tors of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
is being endorsed to N. A. A. G. P.
branches in Kansas, in a letter sent
out from the National Office, it was
announced today. The letter reads as
follows:
"To Our Kansas Branches:
"Will you permit me to urge upon
your Branch that it take especial in
terest in the candidacy of our friend,
Senator Arthur Capper.
GAS you, of course, know, Senator
Capper has been a member of our
National Board of Directors for ten
years. He has also served as Presi-
dent of our Topeka Branch for
eighteen years. 1t has been the ex-
perience of the National Office that
w have never failed to get an i'm
mediate and favorable response from
Senator Capper whenever we request
ed any service of him at Washington.
Perhaps the most notable instance of
his willingness to do all he could in
behalf of the Association and the
best interests of the Negro was seen
in our efforts against the confrma-
ton of Judge John j. Parker as As
sociate Justice of the United States
Supreme Court. We happen to know
that terrific pressure was brought to
bear upon Senator Capper in an eff
fort to get him to vote for coni:rma-
ton. Despite all this pressure, Sena-
tor Capper stood firm and as you
know, voted against confirmation.
Senator Capper time and again has
proved himself as in this instance to
be a tried and true friend of all peo-
pie regardless of color.
"May express the hope that in the
majority which he undoubtedly will
receive for reelection there will be
included the solid support OF the Neg
re votrs Of Kansas.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Walter White

Daughters of Bethlehem held a very
enthusiastic Session on Tuesday and
Wednesday Sept. 9Th and 10th, at the
Morning Star Baptist Church, Balti-
more, Md. This being the first Ses.

very happy to meet again to hear the
reports and suggestions coming from
The Grand Shepherd, Ora Brown

will cause them to create deeper in
terest in their respective Communities
and Folds. A very inspiring program
was rendered on the night of Sept 9th
by the Local Committee. The Annual

ginia. The Rev. Cobbs was at his best
in selecting such subject which thrill
ed the audience. On Wed. Sept. 10th,
the Phila. Marching Club met with
the Marching Club of Richmond at
the above named Church, there they
formed the line of march and paraded
on some of the Popular Streets of
Baltimore. The Streets were crowd
ed with on lockers and at six P. M.

beautiful Uniforms worn by both
Companies. The Judges c. A. Nc
Kenzie, John A. Hines, John M. Hew-
lett of Richmond, Allen Taylor Of
Philadelphia and Thomas Fench of
Ardmore, Penn. were on the job and
it was readily decided that it was a
tie for both Companies were at their
best both in Uniforms and Move
ments.

lions were many. Philadelphia was
generous in their presentations to

served this Convention at their Pub
lie Services. The Convention ad-
iourned to meet Sept. 1881 at Beal-

Gets Facts On
Ca. Ly|lc|liIlgS

New York, Oct. 3-An investiga-
ton of recent Georgia lynchings
made for the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, 50 Fifth Avenue, discloses that
two at least and probably more of
the victims were entirely innocent of
the alleged crimes which occasioned
the mob murders.
One lynching, at Hawkinsville,
near Rhyme, Ca, was of a Negro
whom the sheriff feels sure was inno-
cent of the attack upon white wom-
an with which he was charged. The
Negro was shot six times, one bullet
penetrating his lungs, as he ran from
a mob which had intercepted the
sheriff who was taking him to East
man, Ca, for safekeeping.
The report of the killink of three
Negroes at Darien is made as follows
by the N. A. A. C. P. Investigator
1.-TWO Negroes were seen late at
night on the streets of Darien near a
bank. The policeman thought they III
tended to rob the bank and started
to arrest them. It seems that there
was running gun battle and the
policeman was killed. The Negroes
escaped in nearby swamp; one was
captured and placed in jail. In the
meantime, troops had been ordered
out and had reached Darien and put
their machine gun in place, but in
spite of the presence of the okaiers
and machine gun, the mob went into
the jail and killed this man. Later
another man was killed in the woods
and it seems to be pretty well estab'
lished that this man was not in any
way connected with the affair"

party affiiation. 1t calls also upon
white Ohioans, who believe that the
Federal Constitution should not DE
flouted with IMMUNITY, to register at

val of Senator McCulloch's vote for

Contests in Other States
In other states besides Ohio the N.
A. A. C. P. is leading vigorous cam
paigns against the Senators who vot-
ed to confirm Judge Parker. Dr.. w.
E. B. Du Bots, editor of The Crisis,
is addressing a mass meeting in Will

efforts on the part of the associa-
ton to become permanently estab-
lished here.
The N. A. A. C. P. is not a Politi-
cal organization, nor does it affili-
ate itself with political party, but
it serves in an advisory capacity
and centeres it's activities upon
the wrongs heaped upon
colored people. Notable among its
achievements was its instrumental
ity in bringing about the defeat of
Judge Parker as an Associate JUS
tice of the U. S. Supreme Court. A
digest of the principal accomplish
ments follow:
Lynching-Conducted the first
organized, persistent, financed
campaign against the Shame Of
America, getting the facts, pub
fishing them, dramatizing the is
sue before the civilized world, US
ing the floor of Congress IS TO-
rum to trumpet its demand for
decency and justice. Decline in
lynching from 100 per year to IL
in 1929 is largely due to its pio-
neering.
Legal-Five victories won be-
fore U. S. Supreme Court estab-
fishing principles vital to all citi-
zens. Has won innumerable cases
before state and federal courts,
saving colored people from death
sentences, long Imprisonment,
where color prejudice had denied
fair trial. Prevents extraditions
to southern states where lynching
or unfairness is likely.
Laws-Its attorneys drafted N.
Y. Civil Rights Law used as model
in other states and it has pre-
vented enactment Of anti-inter-
marriage laws in many states. It
is vigilant to prevent passage OF
laws in Congress and state legis-
latures that would harm Negro.
Creative Achievement-Annual
award of Spingarn Medal for ID
years has called worlds attention
to creative work of Negro in many
fields, including art, literature,
business, SClSuCC, iui11CoAyt hAASA~b
diplomacy, public service.
Public Education-Its staff have
written more than 20 books. Ar
ticles in leading magazines, q
press service that reaches to the
ends of the earth, public address
es and meetings, hundreds OF
thousands of pamphlet publica--
tons, radio programs, have helped
to bring about more enlightened
and sympathetic attitude among
public on race relations. N.A.A.C.
P. pioneering has fostered the
work of other inter-racial bodies.
The Association adopts as its pro-
gram. the Constitution of the United
States, and in accordance with that
basic law, it further plans to make
the Negro.
Physically free from lynching
and mob violence.
Mentally free from ignorance.
Socially free from insult.
Politically free from disfranchlse-
ment.
Economically free from discrimi-
nation on the job.
It asks equality Of opportunity
in education, equality Of treat
ment in public places and on COM
mon carriers, the vote equally
with all other citizens Of the
United States, and justice in the
courts irrespective of race or COL
or.
The program Of the N.A.A.C.P.
is the Constitution of the United
States of America.

In event the plan materializes, the
