There is no question that
the Negro press is undoubted-
" contributing q great deal to
the preservation of American
democracy by its virtuous|
fight in behalf of it's people, is
rendering invaluable service

towards England's success in
the present war, and Africa's

also served the Negro as an

Since the white press ignores
the Negro almost completely,
the Negro press is becoming
more and more necessity to
it's readers as purveyor of
news about its own group.
When the worldwide famous
singer Roland Hayes was
beaten and put in Jail, In July,
1912, by the followers Of Hit
Ter tactics in Rome, Georgia,
the white newspapers did not
give prominence to this news,
and most Of them completely
ignored it. Friends Of Roland
Hayes had to wait until the
complete story broke IN the
Negro press, and militant pa
pers like the Pittsburgh Cour-
'er, the Chicago Bee, and 9th

editorials on this incident

Torrance May
Stand Trial
Wifs's Mystery
Deoth Unsolvsd

MEXICO CITY, Nov. II -(R
- DR.. Arthur F. Torrance, Sc
year-old explorer-author whose
wife, the former Mrs. Ada Love-
land Of Kalamazoo, Mich, died
on their honeymoon last year,
may stand trial again on a MUIR
der charge.
Overriding q lower court, the
Supreme Court decided yester-
day that the evidence against
DR.. Torrance was sufficient to
hold him for trial.
Mrs. Torrance, elderly and
well-tc-do, died Of q skull
fracture at q Monterey hospital.
DR.. Torrance said she had been
hurt In an automobile accident
as they were driving to Mexico
City three weeks after their
marriage.
An investigation resulted in a
murder charge against the Eng
lish-born explorer-writer, but in
the course of the trial the Mon
terrey court ruled that the evil
dence did not support the
charge. The charge was reduced
by the court to negligence and
imprudence.
The decision was appealed by
the District Attorney to the
Supreme Court. Meanwhile DR..
Torrance had been released on
bond of $1,000 and was given
permission to leave the Courts
jurisdiction. He has been re-
ported in both California and
Guatemala.
State Police of Neuvo Leon
recently said they knew DR.. Tor
RANGES whereabout. They de-
clined, however, to state them.
The lower court, under Mex
lean law, now may reopen the
case and order DR.. Torrance to
stand trial on the reduced
charge. When he appears, the
murder charge may be placed
against him again.
