State Elks Officially Deny
Truce With National Body
BRANDRUMOR
FRAUDULENT
. Special to the Richmond Planet


Our attention has been called to arti-
cles appearing in several colored papers
Of this week, and in particular, "The
Norfolk Journal and Guide, under the
caption, "Elks Make Peace Proposal"
and further representing us as seeking
terms of settlement Of the litigation
wv pending in the District Court of
the United States here between the
virginia Grand Lodge of Elks and the
National Grand Lodge headed by j. Fin
icy Wilson.
We wish to denounce the article as
being absolutely false in every particu-
lar, designed to deceive and mislead our
Apo. ters, who are numerous through
out the jurisdiction, and with the hope
II strengthening the weak cause Of the
National Grand Lodge. We further say
hat if any suggestion for a settleme1
out of court had been made to US, 1t
would not only have been sternly re-
fused, but would not even have been
entertained for a moment. We did not
take the National Grand Lodge-to
court they took us there, and we are
perfectly content to abide the outcome
of the Courts decision; and if it be
against US, we will take our medicine
like men. In the meantime, we shall not
&c guilty of such unethical conduct as
the distorting of facts, as our oppo-
nents are guilty of doing, as appears
from these articles.
Mr.. Joseph R. Pollard, one of the
counsel for the Virginia Elks the only
one who has had any conversation with
any representative from the other side,
and that was Mr.. Perry w. Howard),
has written the following letter to him
which is self-explanatory:
Richmond, Va, July24, 1880
Hon. Perry W. Howard,
Washington, D. G.
My dear Mr.. Howard:
/ notice from the Journal and Guide
of Norfolk this week the enclosed arti-
Gle. | also understand that this article
in substance, appears in other colored
papers.
AS you recall, you came into my room
in the Whitelaw Hotel on Monday, July
14th, instant, and, as 1 understand,
merely to call on me and not to use
your visit for the purpose disclosed in
these articles.
81 wis to denounce this article as be-
in entirely untrue, and call on you to
or. in this announcement if you arr
an ethical practitioner of law, for what
ever transpired between you and me
was conversation respecting the delay
in receiving the decision of the injunc-
ton ase nowc pending in the United
States Court here. Whatever transpired
between you and me must have REACH
ed the press through you for have
not thought of it since; and the article
is evidently designed to reach the at
tention of the Govt, as we'll as the pub
lie, to influence them adversely to the
litigation, the decision, of which is in
the breast of Judge Groner.
81 therefore, urgently demand that
you give the public denial of anything
in the article contained, for, as you
know, you visited me in my room at the
hotel, and not upon any invitation from
me, for the room was not even my own.
Anxiously awaiting your action in
this matter, remain,
Very truly yours,
Jos. R. Pollard"

Macon, Ga. (CNS)- Repeal of the four

Carriers Association in convention here
he said;
Give the Negro citizenship he is

You can't make government control

CITY To AMEND
GUILD REPLY

Justice Frederick l.. Siddons in
Circuit Court has granted per-
mission to Assistant Corporation
Counsel Robert e. Lynch to
amend the answer Of the Public
Utilities Commission to the suit
of the Washington Consumers
Guild for a writ Of mandamuS to
compel the two local traction
companies to unity where their
lines coincide.
The action Of the court in per
hitting the amendment to be
filed probably obviated for a time
at least the issuance Of the
mandamuS as it was indicated
that prior to the submission Of
the amendment the contentious
of E. C. Reigal, director of the
guild, were seriously considered.
Justice SiddonS, after the
amended answer had been filed.
pointed out that a different prop
osition Of law is now involved
and he would withhold the de-
cision he had prepared.
Part of the amendment in
cluded q letter written to Riegal
in which the commission asserted
that his claims had been inveSti-
gated, but the investigation failed
to reveal sufficient grounds to
warrant a formal hearing.
