it actually .'tones up" the weakened muscles

JIM CROW LAWS

NEW YORK CITY.-Preparations
to file law suits to test the constitu-

against Negroes, in both the South
and the North, have just been an
nounced here. The suits will be filed
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
Money for that purpose has been

Nathan Margold, New York attor-

studies.
These suits will thresh out issues
which are detailed in a pamphlet,
"Black Justice" just issued by the
American Civil Liberties Union, en-

United States.

Held Balance of Power
There were 10000 votes cast in
the last election. The administra-
ton ticket headed by Mayor Cham
bers poled $4,000. The Citizens
League Ticket polled 1900. The
Negro vote amounts to 1900. The
results show the, Negroes power.

wealthy Negro real estate man and
publisher of the San Antonio Regis
ter, rallied to the administration
cause. Mayor Chambers who repre-
sents the better element in the city.
has been courageous and fair in his
attitude toward the group. There
are three Negro policemen and four
detectives on the police force Four
sanitary inspectors are regularly en-
ploYed by the city and just before
/ the election this number was in
creased to twenty. Mayor Cham
bers advocated the appropriation of
| $500 to build Negro librars and
municipal auditorium. His opponents
/ opposed the grant in the city council
/ eontending that it was not legal
since the Negroes had the right to
use the city auditorium and that
taxes would be increased Negroes
/ cannot use the city library. Mayor
Chambers countered by saying that
the council would pass the appro-
| priation or he would follow one of
two courses. Either he would issue
an order to the city library to serve
/ Negroes or he would examine the
tax receipts since the library was
built, take an amount equal to the
total tax paid by Negroes and build
one. The appropriation passed.
Contributed $4,000
Mr.. Belinger who has been po-
litlcal power and who controls GER
tain political prerequisites i'm the
community contributed $4,000 to

have offered to bet $4,000 he would

out for hearing, where we were
fined SO and costs, S33 in all, or

'Not having the money to pay
fines, we were taken to the convict

two small pieces OF bacon, two spoons

DIXIE WHITES
STEAL NEGRO
SCHOOL FUNDS

JACKSON, Miss. = That white
Mississippians have been stealing
money appropriated by the Rosen-
valid and other funds for the cree
tion of Negro schools throughout
the state has been unearthed by the
Chicago Tribune, which has been ar
dent in its attempt to help show the
filching hands outright.
The follow-up of a trial last year,
when Bura Hilbun, prominent and
rather well-to-do white man was in
dicted upon charges of misapprop-
ration of funds intrusted to the Mis-
sissippi State Board of Education,
the situation has developed to in
clude the head of the State Board
of Education and Governor Bibbs
who is said to have used his influ-
ence upon the prosecution in bring
ing about a mistrial when Hilbun
was pulled into court.
Chief among the accusers of the
whites is the Rosenwald Fund, which
has its cooperative office in Nash
vile, Tenn. Through this office is
operated what is known as the coop
erative plan, whereby schools are
constructed for Negro children thru
the cooperation of Negroes, white
friends, counties and the appropria-
tions of the Fund.
On application to the Fund office
in Nashville, donations for the cree
ton of Negro schools were given to
Hilbun after he had mailed speei-
fications of the school and testi-
mony that the school had been COM
pleted. More than $4,000 was re
ceived in this manner from the Fund
office for schools, the investigation
disclosed, but was placed in the
names of Hilbun, who had charge OF
Rosenwald activity among Negroes
and w. F. Bond, state Superinten
dent of Education.
Investigation by auditors further
showed that this fund was checked
against only by Hilbun and Bond
In some instances the schools &C
counted for were not shown ON thu
list of Rosenwald appropriations.
The total amount of money whicl
has been stolen from various fund
contributing to Negro education il
the state over a period of ten years
amount to more than S8S,000.
The investigation and disclosure o
the prolonged stealing of donates
funds is a by-product of a genera
corrupt condition in which Cover
nor Bilbo has found a rather uneom
Portable seat, and which seems des
tined to remove the veil from publ
thievery Of money intended for Ne
groes. Both Hilbun and Bond ar
bosom friends of the Governor.
