CASE HAILED BY

NEW YORK The scorching de-
cision Of the United States Sup
RENE Court. handed down Febru-
airy II condemning the torture and
conviction Of three Negro share
troopers, Ed Brown, Yank Filing
ton and Henry Shields of Mississ-
ippi, has been hailed in editorials
by the press of the country, led by
New York dailies.
The New York Daily Mirror says
editorially:
by unanimous decision, the Su-
preme Court Of the United States
saves from death three scolored
men, sentenced for numbering a
Mississippi planter The highest
Court says the confessions of the
accused men, Ed Brown, Henry
Shields and Yank Ellington, meant
nothing, because they were tortur-
ed to extort confessions. Chief
Justice Hughes says there was no
other evidence worthy of the jurys
attention except the confessions
obtained under torture.
"One Of the suspects, Ellington,
was hanged twice, let down before
he died and, still DENYING his guilt,
he was tied to a tree and cruelty
whipped. These hideous facts are
mentioned by the Supreme Court
decision, which refers to signs of
the rope on his neck plainly visible
during the so-called trial Two
others accused were stretched face
down over a prison table, dashed
with belts that had buckles attach
ed, until they We're bloody and I'M

ment. You wonder if it is am
body's business to punish those
that tortured these defenseless col

J.W. JOHNSON TALK
ON CIVILIZATION

CHICAGO CAMP James Wei
don johnson, Professor Of Creative
Literature at Fisk University, and
celebrated author of the Autobio-
graphy of an ExsColored Man, his
own autobiography called Along
This Way, Gods Trombones, and
recently Negro Americans. What
Now, gave his annual address on
the program Of the Winter Lee
ture Course of the Church of the
Good Shepherd, 300 Prairie Ave.
A large and appreciative audience
braved the severe sub-zero wealth
er to enjoy the privilege of hear
ing DR.. Crimson speak on The Art
of Being Civilized"
DR.. johnson believes that civili-
cation may be measured to a de-
gree by the quantity and quality
Of altrliistic effort and by the abil-
ity shown in meeting situations
imposed by the environment of a
given people.
Accordingly, DR.. Johnson stated
that being truly civilized is one of
the arts that mankind has not yet
acquired. AS evidence he cited the
terrible World War which tori a.
way the veil of civilization, expos
ing crude. raw. predatory crea-
ture worthy only of some dim pre-
historic era. After beholding this
creature the true nature of 10th
century (capitalistic) international
liberalism was questioned. It was
found to rigidly exclude all of the
darker races from its artistic and
altruistic brotherhood. The reason
for such omissions is readily APP
parent when we realize that the
warm feeling of economic security
which stimulated international lib
eralism was in its turn based on
the rich resources and markets at
forded by consistent exploitation of
the dark peoples of India, Africa
the Pacific Islands. etc. The veal
thy imperialists justified them
selves by expostulating the theory
of the innate inferiority OF certain
peoples. We see the fruits such
naturalization in present day Ger
many's treatment of the Jewish
people. and in Italy's affronts to
the Ethiopian state.
In conclusion DR.. Johnson re-
emphasized the fact the greatest
obstacle to the attainment of a
fine ethical, altruistic civilization,
worthy of being called one of the
arts of man, is race prejudice with
the social and economic ills which
it breeds.

resolution for a senatorial investi-

buster last May on the Costigan-

Senate has been favorably report
ed out by the Committee on the
Judiciary, with provision for $500
for the expenses of the iIvestiga-

the Senate Committee on Audit
and Control of Expenses to deter
mine whether the amount recon-
mended by the Committee on the
Judiciary shall be reduced.
All branches of the National As

Colored People and all friends, and
the press, are being urged to send
resolutions, kilograms and COM
munications to the Senate Commit
tee on Audit and Control, to pre-
vent any reduction in the amount
recommended by the Committee on
the Judiciary. No effective sena-
torial investigation can be conduct
ed without finances, and any sum
below the $500 recommended by
the Committee on the Judiciary
would not be sufficient to permit
the investigating committee to do
more than make a gesture.

Answering Rev. Carnegie's CON

Carnegie has no organization

ed For instance "a penny week
from 100000 Negroes, to be col

sonnet even if he got the hospitals.
There are 20 "a class Negro
hospitals, satisfying the require

hospitals registered by the Ameri-

able, although not as adequately
as desired, to care for Negro pa

ton of Negro physicians likewise
hospital facilities are not adequate.

DIRECTORS, DIES

ATLANTA, Ca. Especially DIR.
John Hope, president Of Atlanta

years the head Of Morehouse Col
lege. died this last Thursday after
an illness Of less than week. He
was in his 6sth year.
President Hope, long recognized
as one Of the foremost leaders of
The Negro race and one Of its out
standing educators. had devoted
his entire life since graduation
from Brown University in 1894. to
the education of Negro youth. AS
a teacher at Roger Williams Uni
versity at Nashville. Tennessee,
and later at the Atlanta Baptist
College, now Morehouse College,
he proved himself a brilliant and
inspiring teacher. In 1906 he sue
ceded DR.. George Sale as president
Of Atlanta Baptist College, becom-
ing the first person Of his race to
heaa this pioneer institution. For
% years he worked to build up in
Atlanta an institution of high rank
for Negro men, and today More
house College stands as one of the
highest ranking schools fer color
ed youths, largely as the result Of
his efforts. IN 1929 when Atlanta
University, Morehouse College and
Spelman College were affiliated in
a University system, Dr. Hope was
unanimously chosen to be its first
head, and has served since in that
capacity.
DIR. Hope was born in Augusta,
Georgia, on June 3, 1868. He Sc
cured his early education in Augu-
sta largely through his own effort.
and through his energy and ambi-
ton to complete his training he
went to Worcester Academy, Wor-
cester, Massachusetts, in 1886. Up

my, he entered Brown University,
from which he received his degree
of bachelor of arts in 1894. He inn
mediately entered the service of
the American Baptist Home Mis-
sion Society and was sent to Roger
Williams University. After two
years he was transferred to At
lanta Baptist College.
Five universities in the United
States and Canada honored Presi-
dent Hope with degrees. In 1907,
Brown University, his alma mater,
conferred on him the degree of A.
M, and again in 1885 honored him
with the degree of Doctor of Law.
Howard University, Bucknell Uni
versity, McMaste- University, and
Bates College each conferred on
him the degree of Doctor of Law
for his outstanding work in the
field of education and the better
ment of interracial relations.
President Hope held official con-
nection with all branches of the
Young Mems Christian Association
from the local association to the
World Committee.
