Harris, Vice-President of City National Bank, of New York, Is Man Bringing the Suit. (By TTncle Bennie Brown) New York, October 27—That some times the blood that prominent white men In the far south have allowed to flow eo freely Into the Negro race turns and flows hack for a while, la brought to light every now and then when some domestic rupture bares the family secrets. The most recent case of this kind has come to light in the divorce proceed ings of Beverly D. Harris, white, prom inent southern financier and vice president of thp City National Bank of ‘New York. In hls plea for separation now before the Supreme Court here he sets out as one of the allegations that Mrs, Harris misrepresented her parentage and that she Is an octoroon. The Inference is that somewhere In the lineal parentage of Mrs. Harris flows a strain of Negro blood. No white or colored man with any know ledge of Intimate social conditions In that section of the South from whleh ♦he Harris family comes would dRre deny the possibility of such a charge, for It would he hard to tell now who has or has not Negro blood In their veins. The known cases come out only where there Is some extreme pro % vocation. Owns I.ee Line Steamers Before her marriage Mrs. Harris was" Miss Rlennor FJ.

Jusi where the Negro blood flows Into the Hnrrls household has not been made clear, hut the allegation that she Is an octoroon indicates that her grand mother was of Negro descent, the men In thp ease being white. There have beer manv cases in the South where notable white men, even governors, have had Negro blood In their veins. There are thousands of colored women In that section who, recause of their ci.lor, find it harder to remain colored than go along as white. EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST.

SPEAKER GIVER AN OVATION Dr. Robert Hiissa Moton Received With Acclaim by Cultured Audience And Makes Favorable Impression. Glasgow, Scotland, Oct. 27—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuske gee Normal and Industrial Institute, delivered the principal addresses be fore the Scottish Churches Missionary Congress here, Tuesday morning and afternoon. He was given an ovation. Discussing segregation of colored people in the United States Dr. Moton said in part: ‘‘The white people are the ruling, controlling, dominating, directing ele ment. They have the best of every thing, the best parts of the cities, the best hotels and restaurants, and as a rule, the best schools, colleges and universities. ‘‘This is particularly true in Amer ica, and when a Negro shows an in clination to be with white people, it is not because he wants to be with white people as such but because he wants to get tile best as to land, posi tion, education, comforts, conveniences and protection. We often hear also, the expression that the Negro should stay in his place. It has been my observation that most of the race friction in America is due to the fact that too often white people do not stay In their places. We have many cases on record of outbreaks be tween the races in America t!hat start "d in the Negro section of the town. We never hear of such disturbances starting in the white section. ‘M think I can also make the fur ther observation that the Negroes ob ject to segregation because segregation carries with it the suggestion that the race is inferior and unfit for associa tion with decent people of any other race. “In our country where the separation of the races Is practiced, the Negro always suffers. Sometimes an effort has been made to make the public ser vice equal for both races, but those who have the supervision of It, hecause of lack of Interest, or lack of sym pathy, or perhaps lack of appreciation of the necessity of careful supervision, have allowed the accommodations to degenerate into places Inferior and, In most cases, absolutely unfit for human beings of any race. "In many cases, these places are as menacing to the health and lives of the white race as they are demoraliz ing, degrading and menacing to the health and lives of the colored people.” WARREN BROOKS RETIRED Warren Brooks, for nearly twenty three years a trusted and highly re spected employee at the Army head quarters building, was retired Wednes day by reason of age, having on that date reached the age of 70 years.

In Mr. How ell’s absence, his publicity manager and close personal friend, Robert Smith, clerk of the district court, an swers for him. Judge Sears, candidate for Congress, in a terse reply, makes Ills position plain. The letter sent to Mr. Howell was as follows: Omaha, Neb., Oct. 13, 1922. To the Hon. R. B. Howell, City Hall, Omaha, Neb. My dear Mr. Howell: In view of the fact that you are,at the present time making a strenuous campaign for United States Senator and are making known your views on the various issues in which1 we are severally interested, our Association has taken cognizance of this and is deeply interested to know what your views are on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill now on the calendar in the United States Senate This bill, If passed, will we hope help to wipe out the barbarous prac tice of lynching in the United States.

Mr. Henry W. Black, 2423 No. 27th Street, Omaha, Nebraska. My dear Mr. Black: f Among other letters turned over to me for answer is yours of October 13th to Mr. Howell. Mr. Howell is out in the state campaigning and will be so occupied from now until election day, but it is possible that he may be in the :dty one day between now and Nov. 7. I am sure, however, that I may say that Mr. Howell will favor the Dyer Bill, or any other measure having for its purpose the abolishment of lynch ing. Mr. Howell will do everything in bis power to preserve all the rights of the individual guaranteed under our Constitution, foremost among which is the right to an orderly trial, oroperly safeguarded, so that every ndividual accused of a crime may have bis day in Court. Everyone who is familiar with the situate knows that :he rule of the mob is just as apt to nean the punishment of the innocent is the guilty.

JAPNNESE EDITOR AND NEGRO DANKER EXCHANGE VIEWS Distinguished Visitors From Island Empire Making Study of Social Conditions in the United States. STAND FOR RACE EQIALITY Interview Il'icits Important Facta— Demand Made at Versailles— Conference Far-Reaching in Principle Chicago, 111., Oct. 27.—An interesting conference was held here recently by Umeshiro Suzuki, Tokyo, Member of Parliament, and also one of the leading sugar men of Japan, T. Shirayanagi, Editor of “THE JITSUSEIKATSU SHA,” the Social Reformers’ Review, Tokyo, Tatsu Okada of Kojunsha Club, Tokyo, and Jesse Binga, president of Binga State Bank. The Japanese vis itors are studying social conditions, particularly as they affect the Negro in this country. The conference, which was carried on with Mr. Okada acting as interpreter, brought forth the fol lowing questions as .asked by both the Japanese and colored banker after they bad inspected the handsome quarters of the bank, Mr. Binga wanted to know, “What is the attitude of Japanese toward Color ed people?” Mr. Suzuki replied: “The best answer to that is the fact that the Japanese government official proposed equality of races at the Versailles Conference. The principle is larger than the particular situation of any special race. There is no discrimina tion in Japan. All foreigners are on the same basis and are accepted ac cording to their social standing.” Mr. Binga recounted the various dif ficulties which the Negro faces in America—some of his pet phrases be ing, “The white man Is silently with drawing his Christianity from the Ne gro. He does not want to share any good thing with him. The white men are so avaricious that they are de stroying each other and warring against each other.” He said, ‘‘there was the Ku Klux Klan pitted against the Jewg, Catholics and Negroes. There was capital against labor. And here came the Negro picking up the Cross. The white man was too busy to stop his progress.” Mr. Suzuki answered, “The darker races must admit at this particular times the white races are in the lead and it ie up to us to secure all of the benefits which might be possible from our contact with them. I feel the de velopment of any race must come from the evolution of the entire group. Of course, there are exceptional indi viduals who might make spectacular and particular progress, but the whole body must be moved up. I be lieve that that race makes the greatest growth, white or dark, which gets the greatest outside contact with other races, and therefore acquire the broad est viewpoint.” Mr. Suzuki has planned a tour to take in Washington, New York, and various cities in the South, where he hopes to observe conditions at first hand. The Associated Negro Press representative who sat in on the con ference raised the question as to whether or not the Japanese regarded themselves, as has been claimed by I.othropp, Stoddard and other writers, the leaders of the dark races of the world, in their effort to improve their conditions. The distinguished visitor displomatcally evaded an answer to the question.
