Many Of the destroyers in the
U. S. Navy are named in honor
Of enlisted men who are remem-
bered for outstanding acts of brav-

a ship is named is emblazoned on
a plaque mounted on the ship and
duplicate Of each plaque hangs

vlgllante mob because he was said to
have been drunk often and beaten his
wife on numerous occasions. The body
of Williams, member of the Browns
vile, Tenn, branch of the N.A.A.C.P.,
was found in a river swamp the day
after he had gone with a group of
Colored citizens to the City Hall in an
effort to secure information about
registering in order to vote in the 1910
Presidential election.
Thornton was shot to death by mob
led by police officials, one of whom
Thornton had failed to address as
"Mr." Henderson, a 24-year-old Bir-
mingham, Ala, steel worker, who had
been arrested following an alteration
with white man, was ganged and shot
by police officers and citizens inside a
police station.
Cases of suspected lynchings still
under investigation by the N.A.ACP.
and other organizations include three
in Georgia, four in Louisiana, and one
each in Florida, Mississippi, and Ten
nessee.
An increased tendency of lynching
'to go underground" was noted during
1910, the N.A.A.C.P. announcement
said. "Despite the protestations of
southern governors, put into the Con-
gressionall Record by Senator Ken
meth Mcclellan of Tennessee during the
filibuster against the federal anti
lynching bill in 1888, that federal legis-
lation against lynching is unnecessary
because the states themselves could
and would prevent lynchings and
punish lynchers, not one of the lynch
ers of 1910 has been punished by the
states" it was pointed out, "despite
the fact that the lynchers are known in
most cases. This is true particularly
in the case of Elbert Williams, of
Brownsville, Tenn, where the N.A.A-
C.P. revealed the ten lynchers whose
names have been placed in the hands
of the authorities, including the

American Furs Now Supply

There is renewed interest in every-
thing American and with reason.
While British woolen shipments are
coming through with astonishing
regularity, furs, owing to the block
ade, are not. But we find that right
here at home, our own products
are filling the bill nicely, and Amer
lean furs have come to the fore.
A few years ago American fur
rlers learned that by the process

bles most the striped treatment of

but it really is new. Light as a feath-
er 1t may be lined in wool to match
the wool suit or dress with which
1t is to be worn or it may be lined
with flaming red with a hood fur
lined to match. Also in crepe or
satin.
A coat of American opossum looks
expensive and isn't. It is sturdy,
wonderful for school wear, motor
ing, skating, all winter sports, travel
and casual country wear.
In carefully selected skins these
coats go to town with very smart
ladies who use them for all casual
wear including shopping. If the
California and Florida coasts run
true to form, opossum is the coat,
warm as an eiderdown and as light.
Little fur turbans and mittens to
match are worn by young col
legiates for tea dancing. All they
do to change Braer 'Possum mood

public utilities of New York City for
jobs for the colored consumer. It is
officially estimated that the latter in
New York spends close to $5,000,000
per year for telephones and telephone

president of the New York Telephone
Co. while being questioned by the New
York Legislative Committee said, "We
will not hire any colored workers be-
cause it would be impossible for our
white and colored workers to work to-
gether." The Greater N. Y. Coordinat-

work to change the gentleman's senti-
ments. In the summer of 1899 three
colored men were hired by the New
York Telephone Co. to work at the
Worlds Fair exhibit. This number was
again doubled in 1910. In the fall of
1889 the Consolidated Edison Electric
Co. which has gotten most of its switch
board operators from the N. Y. Tele-

for the first time in its history.
