Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 19 (Crusad
er Service)—That his decision to bar
Negro freshmen from the dormitory
where other freshmen are forced to
live by college regulations is final is
the latest statement of President A.
Lawrence Ixiwell.
The Negro people have been arouseo
by this action of President Lowell,
as over no like action of other univer
sities and colleges, because they have
always looked upon Harvard as a
stronghold of liberal sentiment tow
ards them. President Lowell’s’ ac
tion is interpreted by many as indi
cating the extent to which the Ku
Klux poison is penetrating into wnat
were formerly the most progressive
and liberal parts of the country.
Harvard men in New York and
throughout the country w'ho bold sac
red the Harvard traditions of toler
ance and fair play have voiced their
resentment over the Lowell deci
sion and have conferred with the Pres
ident in an attempt to influence him
to reverse his decision. His latest
statement quoted above is his answer
to their efforts. The situation has
been aggravated by the fact that the
youth barred is the son of Roscoe
Conkling Bruce, himself a Negro
graduate of Harvard and in a position
to put up a fight.
Foremost among recent develop
ments was the discovery that the mat
ter has never been put before or acted
on by the Board of Overseers of the
university.
The Board of Overseers is one of the
two governing boards of the institu
tion. The other is the “Corporation.”
consisting of the President and fel
lows. Whether the matter has been
laid before or acted on by the Corpor
ation could not be learned. The ques
tion of which board has the higher
authority is one, it is said, that has
never been settled in 300 yean, but
joint action of both boards is required
on all important matters.
The question of barring the fresh
men dormitories to Negroes, which has
been brought to a head by the case of
young Bruce, probably will be taken up
by the Board of Overseers, but no
member could be reached who would |
discuss it or give any opinion as to tS
probable attitude of the Board.
The strength of the graduate pro-1
test against what is declared to be a ;
departure from the university’s his- j
toric tradition of tolerance is indicat
ed by the fact that the memorial
drawn up by seven prominent grad
uate- last June when other cases of
Negro exclusion from the dormitories
were reported, had the signatures of
133 graduates of classes ranging from
1850 to 1920 when it was presented to
President Lowell.
“Jim Crow the College”
Declaring the action would “Jim
Crow the College,” the Rev. Dr. Wil
liam Channing (lannett of Rochester
recently gave out a statement of his
views on President Lowell’s action.
He said:
“I think the proposed exclusion pol
icy at Harvard would violate all her
traditions and certainly her best ideals
In its measure it would ’Jim Crow’ the
college. It would show her siding
with those disposed to increase rather
than lessen the birth burdens of the
colored people in our land, and this at
a critical time when inter-racial ann
international questions are pressing to
the fore, demanding noble adjustment.
Ideals of justice and democracy are
certainly part of a Harvard education.
"Nor do I believe the best element
(!) in the South would be won by a
surrender of our Northern conception
of such ideals to their social prefer
ences. As proposed, it might be but a
slight exclusion, the educational op
portunity, as I understand it, not be
ing withheld, but it would be a great
racial insult, undeserved, and it is too
late in history to do such a thing—
above all, for Harvard, with her rec
ord, to do it. In less than a genera
tion we should all be ashamed or it.”
Wendell Phillips said: "I love in
expressibly these streets of Boston
over whose pavements my mother held
up tenderly my baby feet, a nd if Qod
grants me time enouph, I will make
them too pure to boar the footprints
of a slave.”
PEOPLE OF JAMAICA
RESENT ANNEXATION TALK
Kingston, Jan. 19—The request of
American prohibitionists to the Brit
ish Foreign Office for the exchange
of the British West Indies for the war
debt and the publication in American
newspapers of articles advocating the
acquisition by America of these islands
for military purposes have aroused
great indignation here. Jamaicans are
not inclined to exchange their present
wet regime for a dry one, plus white
American prejudice.
BRITISH AIRPLANES
BOMB MOSUL VILLAGES
Constantinople, Jan. 19—Reports
from the Mosul district say that Brit
ish airplanes are actively bombing vil
lages in the neighborhood of Mosul,
especially Itewanduz, Rayna, Mourbeit
and Nameves. Four of the planes
were brought down by embattled vil
lagers wrathful at the casualties
caused among the women and children
and the damages to their homes.
In the meantime, the revolutionary
movement in Mosul itself continues to
spread and the British garrisons arc
menaced in several towns.

DORMITORY TRAINING SCHOOL
By Carrie Alberta I.jford,
Director Home-Economics School,
Hampton Institute.
Hampton, Va., Jan. 19.-—Twenty-one
colored women, representing twenty
on*- schools in eleven states, recently
spent three weeks in coferenre at
Hampton Institute, where they stu
died problems connected with the care
of young people in boarding schools.
In this group there were three deans
of women, eight matrons of girls’ dor
mitories, one preceptress of a boys’
dormitory, five matrons of boarding
departments, one laundry matron and
three assistant matrons.
The sujects of the conference cov
ered the entire range of the respon
sibilities of the matron in educational
institutions.
The central thought of the Hampton
Institute conference was the physical,
mental, moral and social development
of the student and the part that dor
mitory life plays in this development.
Dormitory management was con
sidered from a business standpoint.
Economy tn purchase and in care of
furnishings was emphasized. Methods
of inventorying property and of secur
ing insurance were explained. Busi
ness management of the foods depart
ment and of the dining room was dis
cussed. Desirable correlations be
tween the boarding department and
the home economics department, as
well as with the school farm and
other deitartments were also discussed.
The conference methods included
instructions by specialists, reports of
present practices, observation, refer
ence readings, and discussion of pres
ent. day problems. Free use was made
of all the facilities of Hampton In
stitute. Visits were made in the neigh
borhood to study community activi
ties in their relatio^ to the develop
ment of the students.
Special committee reports were
made on care of girls, care of boys,
furnishing of the dormitory, foods,
table service and loundry management.

when he rose to plead for federal con
sideration of a bill to permit the
erection in Washington of a monu

The entire membership, republicans
and democrats, cheered Mr. Stedman
for several minutes.
The bill would authorize the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy to erect the
monument on government owned
ground. Mr. Stedman painted the Ne
gro mammy’s fidelity as without paral

of the monument would mark one of
the few times when a people had so
honored one of another race living

INSTITUTE FOR COLORED
CATHOLICS TO BE ERECT
ED IN MARYLAND
Baltimore, M<1., Jan. 19—The Catr
olic Church in a circular letter sent out
recently by A. C. Monohan, secretary
of the trustee board of the new Card
inal Gibbons Institute to be erected on
the Tuskegee place at Ringa St.
Mary’s Court, Md., on a 200-acre site,
says:
“The Cardinal Gibbons Institute is
a movement to fulfill in part our du
ties as Catholics toward the colored
race. It will be an institution under
Catholic auspices located in the midst
of the largest group of Catholic Ne
groes in the country, devoting its ef
forts toward training Catholic Negro
leaders to work for and among their,
own race.
“What have we already done for the
£■50,000 Catholic Negroes in the United
States? We have eight special
schools of more than local importance,
and about 126 small parochial schools
serving local communities. The total
value of all our Catholic Negro school
property is approximately $500,000,
while there are Baptist Negro Schools
valued at $5,000,000; Methodist at
$11,000,000; Episcopalian at $2,500,000;
Congregational at $2,000,000; and
Friends at $1,000,000. These valua
tions do not include the so-called ‘in
dependent’ institutions such as Hamp
ton, Tuskegee, Fiske, Shaw, etc., which
are supported in part by contributions
from Protestant churches. Such com
parisons do not look well for us,” says
the circular.
The late Cardinal Gibbons furnished
money to purchase the site. The Col
ored Catholics of Washington and
vicinity have contributed sufficient
funds to carry out preliminary work/,
$250,000 iH now needed for immediate
I
building, and for current expenses lor
the first school year.
The Board of Trustees include such
well-known colored folk as Eugene
Clark, Judge Robt. Terrell, Miss Nan
nie Burroughs, all of D. C.; Gonza
Wade, Malcoln, Md., and George S.
I Ralph, of Baltimore.
SAYS RACE FRICTION WILL
VANISH IN 6 GENERATIONS
Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 19—“With
in five generations there will be an
end to friction between the white and
colored races in this country.” said
Dr. George E. Haynes, of the race
relations committee of the Federal
Council of Churches, in opening the
discussion on behalf of the Negro
delegates. “If the present growth of
racial understanding continues the
power of mutual interests and genu
ine good feeling will not leave an atom
of race friction in the United States.”
Negro members of the executive
committee were given perfect equal
ity with the ministers and bishops,
according to the report of the Chu-ago
Race Commission, which was paid a
high tribute by Dr. Haynes.
During the Wohld War Negroes fur
nished the largest proportionate num
her of draftees; 74.60 per cent of the
Negroes examined were accepted and
69.71 per cent of the whites.

New York, Jan. 17 (Special)—The
American Nation is roused to the hor
ror and danger of lynching mobbism
as it has never been before, accord
ing to the 1922 Annual Report of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, of which the
following summary has been made
public:
In the South
In the South, where ten years ago
only a few solitary individuals dared
oppose lynching and where the crime
was commonly condoned by influential
newspapers, public officials, and min
isters of the gospel, there is now wide
spread cpposition to mob murder. The
opponents of lynching now include
such powerful organs as the Atlanta
Constitution, the Greensboro, N. C.,
Daily News, the Macon, Ga., Tele
graph, the Houston, Texas, Post, and
the San Antonio, Texas, Express.
Powerful groups of white women in
Georgia, North Carolina, South Caro
lina, Alabama, Virginia, Tennessee
and Texas have publicly repudiated
the lynching mob as a “protector of
womanhood.” and such courageous
men as the Rev. Dr. M. Ashby-Jones of
Atlanta, Governor John M. Parker of
Louisiana and ex-Governor Hugh M.
Dorsey of Georgia have gone before
the country as opposing the mob.
The Campaign Against Lynching
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, eight
years ago began a concentrated cam
paign against lynching by the raising
of an Anti-Lynching Fund of $10,000.
Since then, by public meetings ad
dressed in all parts of the country, by
pamphlet publications, newspaper
publicity, personal investigations of
lynchings and published reports of the
investigators, the facts have been
placed before the entire civilized world
and gradually a public sentiment has
been formed which is demanding the
abolition of “The Shame of America.”
This work has been accomplished at a
total expenditure of some $40,000 in
ten years.

The money spent for this advertising
was contributed for the specific pur
pose by the Anti-Lynching Crusaders,
the American Fund for Public Ser
vice, and a number of individuals. The
advertisement was intended to put the
essential facts about lynching before
the grealest number of American citi
zens possible and to correct some of
the false ideas about the causes of
lynching.
Reached 5,000,000 People
The combined circulation of the pub
lications in which the advertisement
appeared was more than 2,000,000. It
is estimated that upward of 5,000,
000 people were reached by tie Ad
vancement Association’s advertising.
As an instance of the profound im
pression created by this advertisement
we quote the following paragraph
from an editorial in the San Francis
co Call of December 2, the leading
daily of the State of California, and
one of the most influential newspap
ers of the Far West:
“The most amazing advertise
ment ever paid for and printed in
any newspaper is now appearing
in the newspapers of the East. It
was ‘paid for by the Anti-Lynch
ing Crusaders’ on behalf of the
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People.
Part of it is reproduced in this
column, without being paid for,
because the advertisement is not
trying to sell anything but pity
and mercy and justice and toler
ance to the American people.’’
The concensus of opinion is that
this advertisement was the greatest
single stroke of propaganda ever
struck in behalf of justice to the Ne
K'o.
The temporary setback on the Dyer
Bill in no way affects the determina
tion of the National Association for
0
the Advancement of Colored People
to continue the fight on this issue un
til lynching in America is stamped out.
Defense of Arkansas Peonage Victims
Defense of twelve Arkansas Colored
peonage victims, first sentenced to
death in 1919, in connection with the
riots in which 250 Negroes were kill
er), has been carried by the Advance
ment Association to the United States
Supreme Court where the cases will
be argued early in 1923. The cases of
six of the twelve men have gone to the
Supreme Court after passing through
four State and Federal Courts and the
men were saved after twice being sen
tenced to death and five times having
dates for their execution set. In the
other six cases through action of the
Association’s attorneys the Arkan
sas Supreme Court twice reversed the
verdict of guilty of the Philips Coun
ty Circuit Court. After the second
reversal the Association’s attorneys
obtained a change of venue. On four
occasions date for retrial was set but
on each of these occasions the State
of Arkansas announced it was unready
for trial. The Association’s attorneys
are striving to obtain the release of
the condemned men under the statute
of limitations.
Before the United States Supreme
Court, the Association and the men
will be represented by Moorefield Stor
ey, ex-president of the American Bar
Association, who is now President of
the N. A. A. C. P.; and by Scipio A.
Jones of Little Rock, Arkansas.
Besides the twelve colored farmers
sentenced to death, sixty-seven others
were sentenced to various prison
terms from a few years to life impris
onment.
Fight Against Peonage
The Association in carrying on the
defense of these men has expended
$14,000 of funds raised for the purpose
Considerable gums have also been rais
ed and expended by the Colored peo
ple of Arkansas. The fight has been
conducted not only to right a grievous
wrong done to these Colored farmers.
It is hoped as well, by taking their
case before the highest tribunal in
the land to open up the entire ques
tion of peonage, which is the greatest
economic handicap and source of
much of the brutal exploitation under
which the Negro suffers in the cotton
raising communities of the United
States.

efforts, the N. A. A. C. P. in January

RUSSIA WARNS MASSES
RUHR ENTRY MEANS WAR
Moscow, Jan. 19—Russia’s first of
ficial pronouncement on the occupa
tion of the Ruhr by the French was
made by the All-Russian Central Ex
ecutive Committee addressed to ‘all
the peoples of the world.”
It sharply protests against the ac
tion of France and calls attention to
the Jhreat of war which such action in
volves. Declaring the army of imper
ialist France has invaded the indus
trial heart of Germany, the statement
declares: “In this critical moment
labor and peasant Russia cannot re
main silent.”
Russia charges that Fiance has gone
even beyond “shameful Versailles” and
that England, Italy and Japan, by
washing their hands, or only feebly
protesting, are equally guilty of break
ing the sovereignty of the German
people and trampling upon their rights
of self-determination.
“Terrible poverty and sufferings
threaten the laboring classes in Ger
many,” it concludes. “All Europe is
threatened with growing economic dis
order. Russia warns the peoples of
the world of the terrible danger that
menaces peace. Your fate is in your
hands.”
PLEASED WITH AT
TITUDE OF NEW
RACE LEADER
Hulls With Apparent Joy Announce
ment from America That a Suc
cessor to Booker T. Washing
ton Is Found.
RADICALS QUITE UNPOPULAR
London, Jan. 19.—(Urusader Serv
ice.)—The announcement from the
United States of the discovery of an
other Booker T. Washington in the
person of Janies Bmraan Kwegyir Ag
grey, an African-born Negro, who is
now a candidate for his Ph. D. at Col
umbia university, has been received
here with frank interest in the pros
pects of usurping the present dominant
radical New Negro with a leader' of
the old type and school. British im
perialists in particular, received the
announcement with undisguised pleas
ure, while even the liberals reacted
favorably to the prosi»ects of ousting
the present radical leadership of the
Negro people in the United States.
Typical of the comment of the press
is the following excerpt from an edi
torial in the Manchester Guardian:
"Like Dr. Moton, who was recently
in England, Mr. Eggrey is opposed to
the African Liberation movement
which has been advocated by radical
Negroes in the United States and has
inspired many colored men through
out the world with the ambition to
bring to an end European domination
of the Dark Continent. Mr. Aggrey has
long occupied the pulpit of a colored
church near Salisbury. Many Negroes
aspire to the i>osition of influence
that Booker T. Washington held In
America’s ‘‘Black World’’ of nearly
twelve million i*ersons, but most of
them are working on lines entirely
opposed to the doctrines of the great
est figure Which has yet emerged from
the ranks of the colored men in Amer
ica. Aggrey, however, is working
along lines laid by Booker T. Wash
ington—that is, to fit the Negro into
a proper niche in the agriculture and
industrial spheres.”
Putting the Negro in his place ap
pears to be as much a concern among
Anglo-Saxons in the British Isles as
among the pure Anglo-Saxon )>oplation
of the most rabid Southern States.
Picking leaders for the Negro peo
ples of the world is the special con
cern of all this class wnho thus hope
to divert, into channels less menacing
to their beautiful system of world
domination the increasing political
activity of Negroes throughout the
world. It appears a dream doomed to
failure. The Negroes of America, no
more than the Negroes of the rest of
the world, are inclined toward ac
ceptance of servHe leadership if one
is to judge by the reports emanating
from America.
Organizations among colored people
have showed no lack of interest in the
matter of laboring and giving their
scanty earnings for their own educa
tion.

Has Been of Great Help
to Farmers.
Greensburg, N. C., Jan. 19.—L. E.
Hall, colored farm expert In the em
ploy of the United States and the
state of North Carolina, was taken
from his home at Chadbourn by a K.
K. K. band, and severely beaten and
warned by the Klan to leave the vicin
ity, a few days ago.
The masked band made an effort to
impress their victim that he was be
ing whipped on account of statements
made by Hall relative to the passage
of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. It is
a matter of general knowledge, how
ever, that the farm expert wasi beaten
and warned on account of the fact
that his work has greatly increased
the general efficiency of colored farm
ers and that through his advice many
colored men have become land owners
instead of peons.
C’nDed from His Home.
The first intimation Mr. Hall had
that he was due for a visit from the
Ku Klux Klan was when he was called
to the door of his home during the
night. He was immediately forced into
an automobile which was one of sev
eral in the party and spirited away.
At the bend in the road leading out
of Chadbourn one of the men In the
car with Hall suggested that he look
back, and on doing so he counted the
headlights of seven automobiles (a
flour sack had been placed over the
head of the prisoner; the lights were
visible through it). The captive was
told there were three more cars ahead.
Something was said about a whipping.
It was evident that there must be
about forty men in the mob. •
“Good land,” said the prisoner,
“does it take all these men to whip
one man?” “No,” he was told, “we
have brought along some for wit
nesses.” After about three miles the
procession stopped, and a whispered
conversation among the masks took
place. The prisoner was told that he
would be asked some questions before
further procedure, which was some
thing like this, according to Hall:
Q. Did you say that the Dyer anti
lynching bill would pass, and that for
every Negro lynched the white people
would have to pay $15,000?
A. No, I did not.
Q. Well, did you not say that if the
j Dyer anti-lynching bill did not pass
(hat the Negroes would stop lynching
; by lynching a few white folks?
A. No, I never gave utterance to
any such statement.
Q. What do you do around Chad
bourn?
A. I don’t-do much of anything
around Chadbourn.
Q. What kind of work do you do?
A. Extension work.
Q. Who pays you ?
A. I am employed by the exten
sion service, department of agricul
ture.
Q. What do you do?
A. Organize and work with colored
farmers throughout the state.
Q. That is Just what we under
stand. You are organizing Negroes
against whites thoughout the state.
A. That is not so. My business is
to assist farmers to do better farming
and help them solve their farm prob
lems.
Upon hearing what Hall had to say,
the leader of the mob instructed nis
assistants to take him aside and whip
him. About twenty lakhes were ap
plied to Hall’s naked- body, and he
was asked a few more questions, the
answers to which were not satisfac

ORGANIZATION LEADERS
INVITED TO CONFERENCE
Boston, Mass., Jan. 13—On the eve
of the New Year, it became known
today, the National Equal Rights Lea
gue, through President M. A. N. Shaw,
invited the presidents and secretaries
of the African Blood Brotherhood, the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, National Race
Congress and National Uplift League,
to consider meeting in council for con
ference on methods of fighting lynch
ing, in order to have unity and coop
eration in the campaign against this
and other wrongs to the race and ar
range by the various bodies specializ
ing against lynching.
Plans are being made for the hold
ing of this conference in tne near fu
ture, probably in New York City.
