AT present, under the national in

Stringer was rushed to hos

loss Of blood caused by knife
wounds. As he lay on the emer-
gency operating table his heart
beat ceased and his breath was
stilled. Muscular reaction and
eye dilation showed Stringer was

As last desperate resort, one

Just been denied bail and freedom
by Judge John p. Mccoy, who over
ruled writ of habeas corpus

he has been illegally held in tho
Birmingham county Jail since the
original hearing before Judge A. Il.

Judge Mccoy refused to admit
that by holding him Illegally in jail
and constantly refusing to bring the

Negroes On Program
White Singer Quits

NEW YORK.-That you can take

but you can't take the South out of
a white southerner was demonstrated
to the booking agents of Loew s
Broadway picture house last week
when they discovered that Grace
Moore, the Tennessee opera singer,
had inserted a clause in her contract
to restrain them from placing a
colored act on the same bill with
her.
Miss Moore was to have played at
the Capitol Theatre the week of Feb
ruary "a at $4,000, but the Loew
office took a look at the contract as
rewritten by Miss Moore, with the
non-colored clause inserted, and
called the deal off
1t is reported that Miss Moore's
prejudice asserted itself because the
Mills Brothers had been on the same
bill with Mary Garden and had
shared equal billing. Unfortunately
the Mills Brothers dimmed the lus-
ire of the famous Mary and Miss
Moore's aristocratic southern blood
could not face a situation like that
So the Mills Brothers stay and Miss
Moore is out.

Portland Branch N. A. A. {. P. Withdraws
From Theodore Jordan Case


The Portland N.A.A.C.P. was ap.
pealed te again not only by Jordan
but by his attorney in Klamath
Falls who pictured to US the most
brutal methods used to force a con-
fession as claimed by Jordan, and
further, the trial itself was practic-
ally void of fairness, mostly because
of Jordan's past record and color.
Thereupen we acquainted the ma
tional office with these facts and
suggested that the N.A.A.C.P. should
enter the case and stay the exeeu-
ton if possible and prove Jordan
contentious, Knowing that Klamath
Falls was a very prejudiced city
towards Negroes. The New York
office joined US with an admonition
to &c cautiously but thoroughly. At
this time we had only three or four
days to file motion for a new trial,
so C. W. Robson, one Of Oregone' s
best known criminal lawyers, was
engaged to act quickly in order to
save Jordan's life long enough to
complete the investigation and if
possible save him from the gallows.

found Jordan was charged with at

math Falls in an attempt to rob him
by beating him into Inconsistencies
His previous penitentiary and jail
records showed that it was not a
case for the NA.A.C.P at that time,
but the victim died after four or
five months lingering and the charge
against Jordan was changed to that
of first degree murder. The subse-

Dill Measure Would
Save Pullman Porters'
Jobs From Orientals
Bill Would Bar
Hiring OF Japanese
And FiIipinos

WASHINGTON, D. Initiating
a move to protect colored Pullman
porters from loss of their jobs
through the employment of Japanese
and Filipinos United States Senator
Clarence G. Dill of Washington last
week introduced bill in the sem
ate to require the employment only
of American citizens as porters on
trains. The measure will prevent
the low wage menace of Japanese
and Filipino labor and imposes a
fine Of $1,000 and 90-day imprison-
ment for each days offense. The
Washington state legislator declared
colored porters had proven them
selves highly acceptable and should
be protected from the menace of
oriental labor. In introducing his
measure Senator Dill said:
From time to time, in riding
trains of the country I have been
impressed with the fact that colored
men are the most satisfactory kind
of porters we have ever had on the
railroad. / am impressed now with
the fact that some of the railroads,
particularly in the country west of
Chicago and also on some of the
trains in the East, are supplanting
the colored men by the use of Jap
anese and Filipinos. These Japanese
and Filipinos work for such exceed
ingly low wages that 1t is impossible
for the colored man to live on such
a wage; and the low wages of por-
tiers have already forced their stand
ard of living below what it should
be.
81 am told that the railroads have
attempted to use two Filipinos or
two Japanese on a Pullman car to
handle the work regularly done by
one colored porter, that they can
hire two of them more cheaply than
the wages, low as they are, that are
now paid to one colored porter; but
that they are unable to get Japanese
or Filipinos who can do the work
satisfactorily. They are not big
enough, nor strong enough physically
to do that work. In light of the fact
that colored men net only are highly

Abraham Lincoln
Was A HypOcrite
Says J. A. Rogers

NEW York; Face Relations
meeting listening to the usual plati-
tudes concerning Abraham Lincoln
at Mother Zion Church, Sunday, was
severely jolted by j. A. Rogers, au-
thor and newspaper correspondent.
when he termed the Emancipator a
"big hypocrite."
After several speakers praised
Lincoln and added that Christianity
was the sole solution of the race
problem, Rogers declared that the
greatest obstacle to a better under
standing was the immense amount of
hypocrisy on the part of both races,
especially the whites.
Not Honest Enough
Lincoln" he said, did very
much l admired He was called
Honest Abe, but on the race ques-
ton he wasn't honest enough for
me.
"He must have known, for in
stance, that Thos. jefferson, third
president of the United States, had a
brood of mulatto children, as well
as other prominent whites of the
period, yet Lincoln said, that
there was an inherent incompatible
ity between the races that will ever
prevent their living together"
an this respect Lincoln was as
big a hypocrite as the rest.
Social Equality
What greater proof of social
equality could we have wanted than
a president of the United States con-
sorting with black woman?"
Rogers further declared that he
thought the race question would
never be solved under the present
economic order; that the darker
races of the world were getting
ready to settle their quarrel with
the swish of the sword" and that
the American Negro would benefit
in consequence.
Rogers also suggested that we
should do more to advertise our
selves in constructive way among
the white people and win more
friends among them. Only last week,
he said, he met a New York City
high school teacher who said he had
never heard of colored newspaper

Replace
Colored Walters
On Pullman Diners

CHICAGO.-Filipino cooks and
walters have been used to replace
colored employees ON Ga restaurant
cars, operated by the Pullman Com
pany on 10 railroads to supplant
the regular diners.
Railroad workers see in the inno-
walton of the Filipino into this type
of service a movement to dispense
with the services of the colored en-
ployees who have been used in this
particular service. The cars OPP
crate with a cook and one or two
walters, generally Filipinos, with a
sleeping car porter usually running
in charge.
The Pullman Company has been
experimenting with the island ma
tives for some years, using them on
the club cars of crack trains, linn
iteds, and extra fare flyers. The adj
dition of numerous Filipinos, re-
Gently, in some of the Chicago yards
where they have been under inten-
sive training for the restaurant car
service has caused apprehension
among the Pullman car porters that
changes were imminent.
The porters believe that their
efforts toward unionization, which
were vigorously opposed by the
Pullman Company, have led to re.
prisals by the latter and that the
employment of the Filipinos on the
new club cars is warning that
their Jobs are not secure.
