Jordan was accused of attacking
a dining car steward and beating
him into Inconsistencies last July
at klamath Falls, Oregon. The
steward, after lingering in an I'M
conscious condition for several
days, eventually died without re-
gaining consciousness. Investigation
by the Portland Branch N.A.A.C.P.
reveals that through third degree
torture Jordan was induced to sign
seven different confessions, no two
of which were identical, and would
have signed seventeen more to have
ended the torture" On his arm is
scar from a three-inch burn which
Jordan claims was caused by the ap-
pllcation of a "lie deteetor" which
was placed on his arm and attached
to a light socket and left to fry
the arm. Jordan's clothes were re-
moved and he was kicked in the
groin, permanently injuring him. A
gun was held to his head by detec-
tiyes, according to Jordan's affidavit,
and he begged them to pull the

trigger, preferring death to further
brutality.
There is grave doubt that Jordan
had anything whatever to do with
the beating of the dining car stew
ard or had any knowledge of the
crime. Jordan stoutly denies any
knowledge of the crime.
The Portland N.A.A.C.P. branch
is satisfied Jordan is innocent of
the crime and the Branch is making
efforts to save Jordan's life.
Upon consideration of the facts
in the case the National Office of
the N.A.A.C.P. has made a contribu-
ton of 500 towards the expenses
of securing a new trial for Jordan
and plahg are rapidly being matured
for the difficult and probably long
drawn out legal battle to save his
life. The Portland Branch asks that
churches, lodges and individuals
help finance this case which is of
vital Importance to the safety of
Negroes in the northwestern section
of the country.

Negro Millionaire Buys

LONDON. England. - Especially

millionaire of British Guiana, is in
this city buying modern machinery
for his gold-mining plant, and has

Brown of Pigeon Island, as he is

of gold-diyining that borders on
the uneanny. For thirty years he
tramped the gold-bearing rivers of
British Guiana in search of the
precious metal, finding much gold.
A few years ago he announced
his intention of taking over Pigeon
Island, and invested his last dollar
in buying the rights from the gov
eminent to work the island. Since
then he has struck 1t rich beyond

Rural Schools In
Alabama Closed:
Teachers Unpaid

ENTERPRISE, Ala. Friday,
marked the dawn of dark and
dismal day. for on that day some
5000 pupils flung their. muchworn,
tattered book satchels across their
shoulders, grasped their lunch-scent-
ed dinner pals in their hands, and
plodded homeward, never to return.
Rural Alabama faces grave
problem. Teachers have gone for
three years without being fully paid.
Board bills are still due. There Is
no money with which to pay.
Nothing Modern
Rural Alabama is composed of n
large percentage of Negro populace,
one-half of which seems to be
asleep. There Is lack OF modern
buildings, heating equipment, and
other facilities for convenience.
Touring through sections of the
country, one sees old dllapidated
buildings,
The blackboards consist Of sew
eral pieces of rough lumber, oddly
tackled together. Windows are OF
wood, and oftimes one sees strips
of wood nailed across the windows
cutting off all sunlight. On rainy
and windy days, the shacks are dark

Baltimore Judge Urges
Negroes Return South

BALTIMORE, Md. Negroes
who come to Baltimore from rural
and Southern places to reap the
benefits of charity agencies should
be forced to return to those places,
especially the country, declared
Judge T. Bayard Williams, chief mag
istrate of the Peoples Court in his
address before the Young Peoples
Forum at Bethel Church, Friday
night.
Speaking on the housing condi-
lions existing since the economic
depression, Judge Williams pointed
out that the social agencies, espe-
cially the Family Welfare, had done
much to relieve suffering in the city.
Come Just For Aid
Although the social agency was
discriminate in its dealings and in
vestigated those who were given aid,
many persons came to Baltimore
from other cities and communities
Just to reap the benefits of this aid.
Most of the persons who came were
from Southern states and rural COM
munities, and with a little effort,
could have obtained sufficient work
and means of sustenance in their
native homes.
This migration. the speaker de-
clared, resulted in native Baltimo-
reans who needed aid being given
just part of what they should OBJ
tain. Judge. Williams advocated
that the Negro who had been born
and reared on the farm return to
his native community during these
times.

Labor Conditions

WASHINGTON. d. C.-(SpeeiaD
Senator Robert F. Wagner's reso-
luton calling for a Senate inyestiga-
ton of labor conditions in the levee
camps on the Mississippi Flood Con-
troll project was reported favorably
out of the Committee on Commerce
today IL was recommended that
select committee of three senator's
appointed by the Vice-president be
authorized to conduct the investiga-
ton. The recommendation was one
of the amendments made to the
resolution by the committee and Is
regarded as strengthening 1t. The
resolution wi1l-come up on the floor
of the Senate for vote in the next
few days it Is announced. Steps

Gated to investigate the arrest OF
George Schuyler. columnist. who
while employed by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People, was arrested in Mis-
sissippi. and after spending a night
in jail was ordered out of the state.
He was sent to verify the original
report of peonage conditions made
by Miss Helen ,Boardman sometime
ago, and II possible to cast other
light upon the conditions. as he
found them.
Schuyler. traveller and writer, and
Roy wilkins, Secretary of tho MA.
A.C.P., were sent by the Association
to make additional Investigations
into the charges.
Working separately part of the
time, the two men, dressed as lab
orers. succeeded in visiting about
twenty camps in Mississippi, Louisi-
ana and Arkansas and a number Of
the government boats working up
and down the river. Much informa-
ton they secured Is being held for
the Senate investigation, but both
men declare they have seen and
heard enough to state that all the
original charges made by the Assoc
citation are true.
A statement has been issued by
both Schuyler and Wilkins to the
effect that the War Department has
full knowledge of the exploitation Of
Negro workers on the river project.
The statement said tho War Depart
ment officials could not dodge tho
responsibility for the existence OF

Hoover's Fortune

A writer in "FOrtune", that one
dollar per copy magazine published
for fortunate Americans, states in
recent issue that President Hoo
ver's fortune has dwindled from $4,-
100000 to 100000, since 1914.
That is a big scaling downward,
but even with that modest nest egg,
the President and his family could
live and get along somehow about
1854 years, that is provided he
and his family could live on the one
dollar each per week allowance set
up by the various welfare agencies
in charge of relief distribution.
Counting, however, that he will
live to be three score and ten or
even hundred years old, he could
salt half of it down, tack the rest
in weekly installments onto his re-
Gently cut salary and spend $1,4S9
per week. Well, considering, that
is not so bad.

Survey Reports
New Race Growing
Up In Jersey

NEWARK, N. -(Special) "A
comprehensive and appealing picture
of Negro life in New Jersey is pre-
sented in the summary report of the
Interracial Committee of the New
Jersey Conference of Social Work
compiled in cooperation with the
New Jersey Department of Institu-
lions and Agencies.
"a new race is growing up in New
Jersey" the committee reports. Its
skin is brown. This new race num-
bers two hundred and ten thousand.
1t is distinctive, it still represents
liabilities to the state; it still suf-
fers great hurts from the neighbor-
ing races, but it also contributes its
own gifts"
Important Findings
Out of the wealth of information
presented in the committees report
may be cleaned the following i'm
portant points:
Population
The 208,S2S Negroes in New Jer-
sey in 1880 formed SO per cent of
the states population, the highest
proportion of Negroes of any state
in the northern or western section
of the United States. The Negro
population increased 1873 per cent,
between 1920 and 1880. This rate
of increase was twice as rapid as
that of the white population. OF
every 1000 Negroes in New Jersey
only $50 were born in the state. OF
the remaining number, sos came
from the Southern states, 113 came
from all other states, and 2 were
foreign born.
Occupations
Two hundred and sixty-eight Ne
groes belong to hod-carriers', build
ers', and common laborers' unions.
Twenty-one international unions bar
colored workers. For every 100
Negro males employed, s are in
agriculture, Al in the manufactur-
ing and mechanical industries, Is
are engaged in transportation, 8 in
public service, in the professions
and % in personal and domestic
service. There are 351 Negro farm
operators in New Jersey cultivating
and average farm of SO acres. The
average family income is $20.S6 per
week.
Business and Professions
Today, more than 1000 Negro
business enterprises are conducted
by Negroes in the state. The num-
