ROSENWALD FUND PAYS $1,000.
600 TO BENEFICIARIES IN
LAST TWO YEARS.

Washington-(CNS) - Edwin r.
Embree, president of the julius Ros-
enwald Fund, reports that during the
last two years nearly $2,000,0 900 has
been paid to beneficiaries; and while
the fund had no cash income during
the latter part Of the period, the
trustees followed the wish of the
founder that principal be drawn up
on if necessary.
The report said that 81, 1886, 080 had
been paid out to educational and phil
anthropic programs during the last
two fiscal years despite the fact that
the income of the fund had ceased.
The payments were made, Embree
said, by using principal funds.
The work among Negroes was ini-
tiated in 1913 by Mr.. Rosenwald and
was continued after his death. Since
it began, the report said, some $500
school houses had been built in 1873
counties in Is Southern States.
500, 900 Pupils Accommodated
The schools have accommodations
for more than 100000 pupils and a
staff Of some $4,000 teachers. Since
1918 the fund has contributed $4,365,-
900 to the schools, Negroes, $4,725,-
900; whites $~1,212,000, and public
funds, 3d. 100, 900.
,Embree said the fund had given in
creasing attention to schools of high
er learning for Negroes to promote
the development of adequate leader
ship for the race. He said the fund
will continue this phase Of it's work,
but will not carry further this spec
ial program of aid in the building of
school houses"
The report said special aid had been
given the Howard University in
Washington, among other i~nstitu-
tons.
1.-THE fund came to the conclusion
several years ago." the report stated,
"that hospital provision for Negroes
was not only too large and varied a
problem to be dealt with by a founda-
ton, but was essentially a local or
State responsibility. We have aided
a few institutions which it is believed
will serve as educational csnters for
Negro physicians and nurses and
peacemakers in hospital service for
Negroes"
The other phase of the funds work
spreading the cost of medical care
has resulted in some improvement,
the report said. The fund has provid-
ed aid in starting or continuing ex-
periments concerned with the pro-
vision and payment for medical SER
vice. The largest single expenditure
Of the fund in the last year it said
vas made for this work in medical
economies.
It is reported here that the Rosen-
valid Fund is backing in a financial
way the Joint Committee on Nation
al Recovery, headed by DR.. w. e.

COURT INVESTIGATES FATHER
DIVINE AND HIS ANGEL
CULT

Newark, N. .J.-(CNS) - George
Baker, better known as Father Di-
vine," who has been in trouble with
the police o fSayville, New York,
Orange and Newark, New Jersey in
the last two years, and made two I'M
successful attempts recently to get a
foot-hold in Washington, d. c., has
been investigated most thoroughly by
a committee appointed last September
by Judge Richard Hartshorne of the
Common Pleas Court.
In the words of the street the com
mittee has succeeded in getting the
low down on the creed Of Major J..
Divine" and reports the same to the
Court in a thirty-six page report.
The committee found that Divine,
convinced his followers that he is
who likes to be called "Father," has
! God, and that by accepting his teach
ings they will be exempt from GER
tain social, biological and economic
realities of life; that he manages
somehow to live in luxury, with a
private airplane at his disposal; that
he has enlisted several thousand per-
sons, Negroes and whites, under his
aegis, some Of whom actually have
been benefited by the association, and
that his nan1e is not Divine but
George Baker. .
The services in Divine's kingdoms
in Newark and New York disturb the
peace, the committee reported, and
in some of the kingdoms the sanitary
conditions leave something to be de-
sired. Enlistments in the kingdoms
have broken up a number Of homes
and the committee limited that there
was a lot Of minor chiseling. The
question Of exactly where the money
| comes from to q the organization
and keep Divine In the, style to which
he has become accustomed was unde-
cided.
Judge Harshorne appointed the
committee after Divine had been de-
clared a public nuisance in Newark.
Edgar S. Bamberger, former vice
president Of L. Bamberger & Co., was
chairman, and the other members
were Joseph P. Murphy, probation
officer of Essex County, and Arthur

ANTI-LYNCHING BILL TO BE IN
TRODUCED IN CONGRESS BY
CELLER AND COSTIGAN

-
Washington = (CNS-A Federal
anti-lynching bill will be introduced
concurrently in the House and Senate
at the January session of Congress.
Representative Emanuel Celler of
Brooklyn, New York, and Senator Ed
ward p. Costigan of Colorado; both
Democrats, will cooperate in introduc-
ing the measure.
The model for the bill will be the
Dyer bill, passed in the House in
1922 by a vote Of 230 to 119, but
killed in the Senate by a filibuster.
Advocates of the measure believe
such a law would be constitutional
under the Fourteenth Amendment,
which guarantees due process of law
to all citizens, although it would in
volve Federal interference within the
boundaries of the individual States.
They face the tremendous opposi-
ton, however, of States where tense
racial problems have come to make
the population extremely resentful
against any interference in what they
consider their personal and internal
affairs. Prejudice against any law
yer in the notorious Scottsboro cas-
is one example Of this, while an even
more striking one is the recent armed
resistance of the citizens of the East
ern Shore Of Maryland to the Use of
State militia by Gov. Albert C. Rit-
chic in an effort to bring lynchers to
trial.
Some15 States have anti-lynching
laws, about seven of which are con-
sidered effective. The proposed leg
islation would make local officials re-
sponsible for the lives of prisoners in
their custody and permit heirs of a
lynched person to sue for damages.
Agitation for Federal power to
! fight lynching results from a sudden
and distressing increase in the ma
tional average after a period during
which the crime was steadily decreas-
ing. The last three cases brought the
total for the present year to 81, the
highest mark since 1926 when there
were 80. In 1882 there were only 10
lynchings.
Both major parties put anti-lynch-
ing planks in their 1928 platforms,
but the steady decline in the rate
made it appear by 1882 that lynching
was no longer a serious problem, nor
an issue.
Records have been kept on this
grisly subject only since 1882. Dur
ing this half century there have been
$3.50 victims Of mob fury in the
United States. Of these 145o were
whites and 5000 Negroes.
The average Of lynchings ran about
$50 per year up to 1900. Since then
the average has dropped to about 80
with the exception Of 1915 when there
were 145.
The record of the past 10 years as
compiled by the National Association
for the Advancement Of Cofored Peo-
pie, follows: 1923-28; 1924-16;
1858; 1864; 1927-18; 1928
Ii; 1922; 193o-25; 1e31-14;

Salisbury, Md.-(CNS)-A state
ment signed by three prominent col
ored men" living in the ~accursed sec
ton Of Maryland, which has within
the past two years disgraced Amer
lean civilization by outbreaks of law
l~essness against defenseless Negroes,
and even the authority of the Cover
nor of the State, attribute the dis
turbances to the activities Of Bernard

Labor Defense League.
The statement, signed by James F.
Stewart, member of the Maryland
Interracial Commission; J. M. DECKER.
son, colored pastor here, and James
l.. Johnson, retired school teacher
said:
"As is well known, the entire dis
turbances have grown out of the
Fuel Lee case into which he aides
injected himself not at the request
of nor in behalf of the people Of oul
race.
The statement said that AIDES
claims incensed the people of the
Eastern Shore and that the attorneys
contentious that a fair trial coulc
not be had for Lee on the Eastern
-
Shore was unfounded. The state
ment continued:
ave had seen the orderly process
of law carried out for so many, many
years here that it would have beer
foolish and unfair to make any other
presumption about the people of the
peninsula.
I'VE state, without fear of contra.
diction, that it was the tactics OF
AIDES employed in that case which
caused the death of Mathew Williams
and George Armwood. (Williami
was lynched two years ago at Sails
bury and Armwood in October a

that our race has been exploited by
this man AIDES, who is only a self
seeking individual and one who can
not possibly contribute anything tt
the happiness and stability of thu
colored people in this State"
This movement of the three "prom
inent Negro leaders" was stigma
tized by many as, the fererunner of
campaign to keep the Negro in hi,
place" among the savages of the
Eastern Shore. 1t brought a quicl
reply from Bernard AIDES, the Balti
more attorney who said that a coun'
ter-movement would be started.
Terming the three signers as "tht
mouthpieces of lynchers and white

Boston, June 16.-P)-The United
States circuit court Of appeals Friday
reversed the decision of Federal
Judge James A. Lowell in granting a
writ Of habeas corpus to George
Crawford, Negro, which would have
prevented Crawford's return to Vir-
ginia to face murder charge.
Crawford was wanted in Virginia
for the murder of Mrs. Agnes Boeine

merly Of North Dakota, and her maid
Nina Buckner, slain at Middleburg
in January, 1882.
The state of Massachusetts, honored

nor Of Virginia but counsel for Craw-
ford appealed to Judge Lowell for a
writ Of habeas corpus to bring about
his release.
Judge Lowell, in approving the
writ, commented that since it ap.

groes did not serve on Virginia juries
the supreme, court would hold hi
trial there to be illegal.
Crawford Is now q prisoner in Bos.
