under a Democratic Governor in Virginia!,
whilo white people are not accorded

I am not identified with the IJni-'

I am extending to our guest the 1'
well-known hospitality for which our v

ing to you the President General of 1
the Universal Negro Improvement Association,
the Provin8ional President
of Africa, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. '
Mr. Garvey was greeted with an ovation
and ho proceeded to discuss the '
momentous suhlect. which! is now en. K
gaging tlio attention of the world. J)
TIRED OF OPP*R{ESSION. J
He declared that his intention ana
purposo In thifs country was not to e
causo any disorder or to violate any Cl
law. "If" ho said you Negroes pre tir- n
ed of being abused, misrepresented,
Jim Crowed, lynched, burned at the
atako and persecuted, then get up and
do something for yourselves. Start ? '
civilization of your own. You boast
about what you own, whon you own "
nothing. A man owns only as much &s
ho can protect. You cannot protect
anything. You depend upon thte white
man for everything. Start a civiliza- *
tion of your own. Many of you when J
yojur are kicked and, beaten will slink 01
off and any, 'I leave you to God.' God

NEGRO SUPREME.
Tho Negro at 0110 time was nup- i

ave tho powor and wo will have the i
espect of tho white man. Negroes i
epresont the second largest group of i

ave done nothing to help their own i

The people of Richmond lmve treated

Even if you should not bo the winner,
you are roally not a losor.

Just as good show of winning as sonio

We have it from the artist who made
the beehive picture puzzle that the dis
tinguishing thing about this puzzle js
thiat it is made up of simple everyday
things and not loaded down with a lot
of unheard of words or scientific ami
technical terms that only highly edu-'
rated persons would know.
Of the many answers already recoiv

that it Is too bad that their compilers

No one in this olllce or connected

Reacting to thy storm ol criticism
of the Illinois authorities for then
failure to prosecute tho perpetrators
of the Hcrrin mine nmssaore, tho Sen
ate Judiciary Committee today repon
?il out tho Dyer anti-lynching bill with
an amendment pointing directly at
tlio Illinois cone.
This amendment provides that, in
tho event of the outbreak of mob ruling
the form of lynching or otherwise
resulting in illegal killings, Ihe Porter
al District Court is empowered to assume
jurisdiction. The county which
fails to ael would be subject to a $10.
000 fine.
The bill was passed in the Hons*
aftor a stormy debate and, has been tu
tho Senate Judiciary Committee since
January 26.
Many of the members of the conrmittee
have been opposed to tho mcas
ur.e, regarding it. as of doubtful const!
tutionality.
The aetion today was due not only
to pressure brought because of the
Herrin affair, but also to tho belief of
some PHpubjlican members of {Senate
and House that the hill is politically
important, Senator Lodge (Mass.)
has been enthusiastically bach of the
measure and the favorable report Is
regarded as a personal victory for tho
Republican leader.
The bill was reported by a vote of
7 to fl. Those supporting it were Dn
