He also victim ized John Hearnes out of $15.00 and a note for $60.00. Mrs. Cora Mitchell j told police that the impostor obtained , a payment of $200.00 from her on the I same property.

TWELVE WHITES STILL REMAIN AT TUSKEGEE HOSPITAL, AVERS (Preston News Service) MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 27 —Ac- cording to a report from Director Hines to President Coolidge last Tues day. all of the personnel, except twelve whites, at the United States Veterans’ Hospital at Tuskegee, are Negroes. It is said that Director Hines submitted the report to the President, following numerous pro tests from Negro organizations to him against manning the hospital, an in stitution for the care of Negro serv ice men, with white personpel. According to persons close to Di rector Hines and aware of the many problems confronting him in carry ing out the wishes of the late Presi dent Harditfg in manning the hospital in the face of various obstructions placed in his way by southern whites. Director Hines needs to be commend ed by Negroes over the country for the success he has made in this con nection. The report shows that 12 white staff | members are still on the force and ! that there are 248 Negroes employed j there. Among the 12 whites are three commissioned officers, designated as the directing heads of the institution. All of the specialists and physicians, except two, are Negroes, and all or the nurses are Negroes. While Director Hines did not ex plicitly state that he would further reduce the white personnel down to two —a director in chief and an as sistant—and the remainder of the per sonnel to be Negroes, it is expected that he will carry out his original plan. Negro leaders in all parts of the country still hold the theory that the entire force at the hospital should be i Negroes, and appear not to be satis l fied until such is actually put into es- I feet. Just what further action Presi- I i dent Cooiidge will take in the matter has not yet been indicated, and Ne groes are anxiously awaiting his ac tion in the matter. En Route to Texas— Rev.

HUNDRED THOUSAND BLACKS LEAVE SOUTH [j DURING 1923, AVERS (Preston News Service) PHILADELPHIA, Pa. —According to - an announcement following the survey -of the Industrial Board, more than I 100,000 Negroes have left the South 1 (luring 1923 and have settled in the North. The present migratory flight - j of Negroes from the Sou(l\ has been ■ almost wholly industrial and in large v measure has been superinduced by t the alarming shortage of common la -3 bor in the North. It shows that in many instances 3 whole church congregations, headed by their pastors, have moved North , and settled down. Employers also ; induced Negroes to come North in large numbers by sending “labor ; Scouts” south for that purpose. On 3 some occasions entire train loads - have come into this city as well as - into other large northern cities. An 1 other method effective in bringing > them to the North was by those al . ready up north writing to their friends. Attention was called to the effect that the revival of th e Ku Klux Klan, the various articles in the Ne ) gro newspapers about the treatment of Negroes in the South, and then the educational advantages offered to ; Negro children, so sadly neglected in t the South. I The report further shows that from 1914 to 1923 more than a million and • a half Negroes have left the South and have distributed themselves • throughout the western, northern and 1 eastern states, settling most densely 1 in St. Louis. Detroit, Cleveland, Pitts i burgh, Philadelphia and New York I City.

P. Bayler had the following to say: “The 1 kind of law which is alleged to have been meted out to the poor colored 1 man who shot one of a crowd of boys in the foot in self-defense at Poco moke, Md., on Hallowe’en, is more and more incensing dangerous ele- I ments. The poor man, no doubt, im agined that his life w r as in danger. Should not the boys, the appearing cause of the whole trouble, not be handled for their offense and the 1 colored man allowed to go free? That would look more like democratic jus tice, would it not, instead of giving 1 the defender a year in the house of correction ?” It, is said that the convicted man 1 told the court that he thought the crowd was a gang of Ku Kluxers, and being from the South he just knew' he would be killed, and so he started firing first.
