\N audience which packed the spa
cious auditorium of Zion Baptist
church, enthusiastically greeted Wil
liam Monroe Trotter, editor of the
I'o ton Guardian and secretary of the
National Kqual Rights League, Mon
da1 night when he modestly told the
story of his triumphant struggle to
get to Paris its a delegate from the
National f'ongri s of Coloted Amer
ican to the peace conference, aftei
every effort to secure passports for
the delegate chosen had failed.
Pas-port- tri colored delegate were
arbitrarily denied by the Wil on ad
mfni -tration, the representatives of
which after a policy of temporizing
and evasion, frankly admitted that
passports would not he given because
Mr. Wilson did not wish to have any
coloted American in Paris who would
“rock tire hunt.” It was then that Mr.
Trotter and the Rev. William Carter
of Seattle, determined that they would
endeavor to reach Paris by strategy
felly realizing the perilousness of the
undertaking. They went to New York
and sought to secure employment on
vc--ids going to Pari.-. After eve nil
fruitless efforts Mr. Carter gave up
end returned to Seattle. Mr. Trotter
‘ remained and after three months, se
cured employment as a cook on the
Yarmouth and so landed at Havre. He
eventually reached Paris and present
id hi credentials. He succeeded in
piating before the delegates the facts
touching our people in the United
States. The Paris newspapers car
ried stories of the lynching-, disfran
chbement and denial of rights to col
,1 ored American while President Wil
son wa eloquently pleading for world
democracy.
Mr. Trotter said that the world war
was a conflict between the white
races. But they' called upon the black
race? to help them win the war which
they had started. America eventually
entered, inspired with the belief that
their task was to help make the world
safe for democracy. With the hope
or sharing in this democracy, the col
ored Americans went forth to bleed
and die. The millions of the race in
America felt that when the war wa.
ended their voice for larger oppor
tunities should l»e heard at the peace

CHICAGO, 111., .tan 20.- There Is a!
j concerted effort, with more or less’
| suspicions motives, to manufacture
sentiment in favor of the southern ide
I of dealing with the race problem.
The following editorial which has i
; conte under Pic otisei vat lot) of the
Associated N gro |>;css, has appeared,
"•ithoot credit lines in fifty or more
southern daily newspaper-' Kaeh edi

“f "hieago lias earried through it«,

population in the decade The Inc case
Is I IV. per gent, as against 2t per;

country are shown by the fact that the

and New York and thal Ihe next two,
1 Baltimore and Washington, are in the
| so-called ‘"border states," with pos
sibly another northern dtv Philudel

which comes anywhere near these is
New Orleans, which may show a slight
falling off in number of its Negroes,;
like the neighboring Counties of Louis ;

‘The result Is dtie to three causes —
11he fact that many railroads in this
section run directly into Chicago, so
that It is east for Negroes from lands.
' iana, Mississippi and Tennessee to si ip
into (in Illinois metropolis; secondly, i
the camp for the southern Negroes I
(luting the war wa at Grant, near
Chicago; and, finally, political Infill I
cnee for Chicago politicians hate
Stimulated this immigration, finding
Hit* Negro voters easily controlled by
them. There are no,000 Negro voters
In Chicago who are segregated In the
South division, and have a largely de
termining influence In Chicago poll
tics.
“It will be remembered that Im
mediately after the civil war some ex
tremists on the race question suggest
ed that a district or territory of the
t'nlled States be set off as a reset va
tlon for (lie Negroes alone, a sort of
American Liberia. Possibly the South
! Side of Chicago could be set aside for
J this purpose. Its population is almost
exclusively Negro and its officials,
state and municipal, are of the same
race.
“Many of these Negroes came orig
inally, and only a few years ago, from
Louisiana and Mississippi The efforts
I to win them hack to the South have
I not been at all encouraging. They are
; being belli together by their large
1 numbers and their political favors.
iThe people of Chicago have awakened
lo the fact that they have a race prob
lem of their ov> n to solve, and very
marked differences of opinion have
• ' .
-
anti Negro riots of lust year showed.
Chicago, therefore, has a far kindlier
k .
sentiment towards the South in Its j
efforts to solve these ‘rare problem*’ j
I fairly, justly and to the advantage
of all.”

CASE AGAINST STEGALL
DISMISSED BY COURT

Ilad Wilfully and Wanlonlv Cied in Her Sensational Stor> of
Reing Criminal!) Assaulted In Man Indicted ’or Alleged
Crime In Grand Jur\ Prisoner is Given Libertv
MOTION FOR DISMISSAL IS GRANTED
In Summing l p Aigument District Attorney Hughes Stated That
as a Result ol the Most Searching Inquiry His Office Had
Found That Walter Stegall Was Absolutely Innocent of AH of
the Offences for Which He Was Indicted |
I \AUUAS, Tex., Jan. 20. Following
an investigation by the district
attorney’s office cases of attempted
criminal assault, robbery and burg
lary against Walter Stegall have been
dismissed by Judge C. A. I’ippen on
motion of District Attorney Maury
Hughes, and the man was given lib
I'berty. The charges had been filed
against Stegall in connection with an
alleged attack ori Mrs. John Clark at
her home on the night of November 28.
The trial had been set for January 12.
A statement from Mrs. Clark was
attached to the motion for dismissal.
It requested the court to dismiss the
cases pending against Stegall, declar
ing that he was not guilty and had no
connection with the alleged crimes.
“I have explained this thing to Dis
trict Attorney Hughe ,” the note con
cluded. %
The note was signed before three
witnf>,r.es.
/ Sums Up Testimony
lli his motion for dismissal of the
casl against Stegall, the district at
toiAy summed up the testimony
glvi* at the examining trial, at. which
jtinw Mrs. Clark said Stegall had en
| tc»d her home, attempted to assault
J .I".
her, had left her lying in an uncon- i
scions State on the floor. Continuing,
it declares that “as a result of the
modi searching inquiries, the district j
attorney haw ascertained and now
ever it to be true that the defendant,
Waiter Stegall, is absolutely innocent
of all of the offenses for which he was
indicted, that the said Mrs. Gertrude
Clark wa not assaulted by him in hei
house in Dallas on the 28th day of
November, 1020, and was not assault
ed by any person; that her said home
was not robbed on said day of any
thing of value, nor was it burglarized
on said day either by defendant here
in or any other person.”
Many Witnesses Summoned
An interesting development ihat
would have occurred in Stegall’s trial
would have been the fact that Ste
gall was sitting ep with the corpse
of his sister on the night of the al
leged assault. One hundred witnesses
had been summoned by defense coun
sel, McCutcheon & Church, to estab
lish an alihj.
| • When Stegall was told of Mrs,
'Clark’s statement by County Jailei
; Ruck Parsons, he simply said:
told you all the time. Oap’n Ruck,
was innocent.”
SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MEN BACK VENTURE
--
Heavily Financed Corporation Will Confine Itself to the Making
of Records Preserving the Voices and Compositions Exclu
sively of Colored Folk Who llav, lleen Largely Barred by
Phonograph Companies—Have Large and Remunerative Field
--
By Norman 1.. McGhee
i jVTEW YORK, #.V Y., Jan. 20.—An
| ^ ’ nouncement has just been made
of a new departure in music and busi
ness on the part of the race. A cor
poration with a capital of $100,000.00
has just been formed for the purpose
of making phonograph records, using
exclusively the voices and talent of
colored people. It has long been a
object of comment that although col
ored people are very large buyers of
phonograph records, our best voices
and high class musicians have had no
recognition from the large white com
oan ies who furnish all the records
that are supplied.
At present only three colored people
ing for the records out of the hun
dreds of artists that are employed in
this work. One of these is making
purely comic records, another is sing
ing blues, and the third is singing his
own syncopated songs. When artists
like Madame Hackley, Madame Patti
Brown, Mrs. Florence Cole-Talbert,
Harry Burleigh, Marion Anderson and
Roland Hayes desire to make records
they are advised that they must pay
the companies to bring out their rec
ords. At very great expense Roland
Hayes produced some of his own rec
ords a few- years ago, but the cost
as so heavy that he could not con-,
tinue it. I lie organizers of the pres
ent company believe the demand 0:1
tiie part of the race to perpetuate the
voices of its best musicians must be
met and that such records will sell.
While not depreciating the commei
cial value of comic songs, “blues” and
lagtime (mg', the new corporation
proposes to furnish every type of race
music, including sacred and spiritual*
ong . ti e popular songs of the daj,
and the high-class ballads and oper
atic selections. It proposes to use
ome of the most famous quartets,
concert artists, church and school
choir- and glee clubs, together with
man\ colored vaudeville acts, for
which coniia'ts are being prepared
and sent out:
The organization of the company is
in charge of Mrs. Harry H. Pace, who
has been identified with the establish
ment of some of the largest and most
successful business ventures of the
race, including the Million Dollar Sol
vent Savings Rank & Trust company,
of Memphis, Tenn.; The Standard Life
Insurance company of Atlanta, Ga.,
and the Pace & Handy Music company
of New York, N. Y. Mr. Pace is de
sirous of getting in touch with sing
ers and musicians of the race who
have talent along this line and with
race merchants and dealers who are
interested in handling such records.
