Indiana LynChing Probe
Closely Watched
N. A. A. c. p. Warns Indiana Atty
General.

New York, Sept. 26.-Failure OF
Indiana authorities TO procure indict-
ments of persons known to have par
ticipated in the removal from Jail
and lynching in the courthouse square
OF two colored boys in Marion, on
August 8, has brought a letter to
James NJ. Ogden,In diana State At
torney-General. In this letter the
N. A. A. C. P. reminds Mr.. Ogden
that it has submitted the names of
twenty-seven alleged lynchers, and
that the eyes of the country are di-
rected toward Indiana's prosecution
Of the mobbists.
In the N. A. A. C. P. letter, signed
by Walter White, acting secretary,
who investigated the lynching, it IS
stated that: "The names of twenty
seven alleged lynchers have been sup
piled to the authorities and it is
known that additional names are in
the possession of the sheriff and the
prosecuting attorney at Marion. The
grandj ury at Marion made partial
report on September 10 and news
paper accounts of that report do not
mention the lynchings nor do they in
dicate any sincere effort on the part
of the local authorities at Rarion to
apprehend the known members OF
the mob.
prosecutor Harley Hardin has
stated to a prominent citizen of Ma
rion that he has done everything
in his power, but that it has been
impossible to get the witnesses to
testify against the names of the
lynchers who are known Such a
statement is incredible to put it mild
ly, since Sheriff Jacob has admitted
that he personally recognized four
members of the mob. Sheriff Camp
bell admitted as much to me when l
was in Marion. 1t is known fact
liens of Marion recognized additional
that other officials and reputable cit
members of the mob and have so tes-
tilted. I am sure that you agree
that law enforcement at Marion has
completely broken down and has be-
come a ludicrous thing when such
statements are made by those
charged with the enforcement of the
law and the punishment of violators
of the law.
"The entire country is watching
to see if Indiana has courage and
honesty enough to effect the punish
n!ent of those who took the law into
their own hands at Marion, consti-
tuted themselves judge, jury and ex-
ecutioner and fiouted not only the
law but human decency.
"May we again renew our request
of you as encouragement of the
state that steps be taken Immediately
to bring about the impeachment of
the sheriff, to replace the manifestly
Incompetent prosecuting attorney and
that your office assume under the
law complete charge of the prosecu-
ton. 1t is an open and notorious
fact that unless such action is taken
by your office that the lynchers may
with IMMUNITY laugh at the state and
make the states law enforcement
efforts a hollow mockery. Only by
prompt and vigorous action can this
terrible stain on the good name OF
Indiana be removed"

Capital City Lodge Of E|kS
Enters New Second St. Home
Formally Dedicated Sunday
September q, 1880

The Capital City Lodge ElkS, re-
ceived congratulations from various
clubs and fraternal organizations
here during the opeu-celebration of
their home at 526 N. Second street
y The home is situated in the heart Of
the Negro business section of Rich
nond, being situated between Clay
and Leigh streets, across the street
from the Commercial Bank and Trust
Co., between the Hippodrome and
Globe theatres.
A brief description of the home is
as follows: On entering the front
door, on the left is ladies rest room
and parlor, which is fitted out with
modern comfortable chairs, lounge,
library table and piano. The chairs
} and lounge being upholstered in tap
estry and jacquard velour, on the
right is the gents smoker and
Billiard room equipped with Cigar
stand, three cushion billiard tables
and all the requirements that go to
make modern and up to date bill
lard room. To the rear of the billiard
room is found the we'll stocked Cafe
terra and Grill, in charge of the eff
Gent Steward, Mr.. Junius Jones; to
the left of the Grill across the hall is
The Card room, where members may
indulge in social games for their a
musement. Close inspection of this
room convinced the writer that most
Capital City members are very fond
of Dominoes. On the second floor to
49,. loft % H6o 1onIfnor find My.
FIye's Barber-shop, next to which is
found the Secretary's Office, where
Mr.. Green seems to be the dominant
figure; going to the front we find a
porch which gives a most magnli-
cent view of the Negro business sec
ton of Richmond, the Auditorium
and Dance Hall occupies the entire
right side of the second floor, with q
raised dias in the extreme front end
for the accommodation of the orches-
ira, the check-room being in the eX-
IRENE rear, Benjamin Temple ladies
occupy the front portion across the
hall from the auditorium. No use des-
cribing this part of the building as
you all know how the ladies fix up
their rooms On the third floor is
found the Band room, two commit
tee rooms, the Library and the Direc-
tors room. The furniture and fixtures
in the directors room "just wont
don't" across the hall from the direc-
tors room is found the Library where
we get another grand view of Rich
mond's Negro Broadway, and where
we are afraid many of the members
who have left their best days behind
them will develop "cricks in the
neck" from "look'in EN- over"
There is to be found, unusual con-
veniences for women and men alike
on each floor of the building. On the
whole the Elks of Capital City lodge
deserve the credit and commentator
which has so lavishly been bestowed
on them by the populace, for the
home is as finely appointed and as
deliberately furnished, as any that we
have seen in these parts. More power
to Capital City lodge Elks in general
and to atom Ellis" and his Board of
Directors in particular.

FERENCE IN SOUTH.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 3d.
(CNA)-The Provisional Organiza-
ton Committee of the American Ne
week that it will convene great con-
gro Labor Congress announced this
ference of Negro and white workers
in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Sunday,
November LIST, for the purpose of or
ganizing the struggle against lynch
law.
In it's statement issued to the press
the committee of the American Ne
gro Labor Congress states: Given
the hands of boss-led mobs of fiends
ty-nine workers have met death at
already this year. During the same
period no less than six militant work
ers, 8 of them Iegroes, have been
foully murdered by the bosses or
their police for their working class
activities. The boss class is deter
mined to drown the rising struggle
of the oppressed Negro masses in a
sea of working class blood.
"This bloody campaign of lynch
ing, torture and murder must be
stopped. The masses of Negroes, aid
ed and supported by the white work
ers, must and will be organized for
an aggressive campaign against lynch
law and all forms of boss class ter
rorism. AS a first step in this direc-
ton the American Negro Labor Con-
gress has issued a call for all work
ing class organizations to elect dele
gates to mass conference against
lynch law. The conference will open
in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Novem-
Der LIST at II A. M.
"Trade Unions, clubs and fraternal
orders, insurance societies and
churches all over the South are urged
to elect delegates to this historic con-
ference. At the same time the Amer
lean Negro Labor Congress calls on
the workers in the shops and the
poor farmers and share troopers on
the land to form committees for the
organization of the struggle and TO
elect delegates from these commit
tees to the great Chattanooga confer
ence."
1t is pointed out in the statement
that the conference at Chattanooga
November 1st will also be mobiliza-
ton point for the National Conven-
ton of the American Negro Labor
Congress to be held in st. Louis on
November 18th. At this national
convention plans will be worked out
for a national campaign against
lynch law.
