Nine Suits in N. Y. Supreme Courts. Names
Pickens Bagnali and Owen Among De-
famers.
New York. N. Y.. Aug. II. Nine
libel suits aggregating1 $760000 were
filled In the Supreme Court by Mar
cua Garvey against newspapers and
Negro speakers. He charged them
with publishing or making slander-
oua statement concerning htm. The
defendants named In the proceedings
and amounts Involved are: The New
York Times. 1200000; New York Call
1100000; Amsterdam News. 150000;
New York News $60000; Robert R.
Bagnetl $100000; Chandler Owen
$100000 and $60000 respectively; Wil-
liam Pickens $50000 and A. Phillip
Randolph. $60000.
The aults against the New York
Times and the New York Call grew
out of article! In which Bagnell and
Randolph were quoted. Defamatory
statements regarding his character
were made Garvey avers. The alle-
gations In the other suits are along
similar lines.
Garvey. as president of the Black
Star Line. wij. examined in supple-
mentary proceedings by attorneys for
the Pan Union Company which ob.
talned a Judgment for $6000 against
the steamship line some time ago.
The Pan Union Company shipped
a carload of Green River whiskey to
Havana on the Black Star steamship
Yarmouth before the ban ugalnst the
exportation of whiskey went Into ef-
fect Jan. Id 1920 The Pan Union
Company charged the crew of the Yar-
mouth imbibed ao deeply of the whis-
key that they disabled the boat and
he had to put bask to port where
' the rest of the whiskey was seised
They sued and were awarded a Judg-
ment. Garvey maintains the steamship
company has no moneys due it and of
the three vessels It waa organised to
.operate ha said one Is on the beach at
Antlila Cuba; another an .excursion

GARVEY l DIFFICULTIES 19 RK.
PORT.
(By A. N. P.)
New York Aug. 1. War clouds
hung heavy and ominous recently
over the convention of the Universal
Negro Improvement Association In
session at Liberty Hall No. 120 West
138th Street. The atmosphere recked
with descrimlnatlon as Marcus Garvey.
President General and J. W. H. Ba-
son "Leader of American Negroe's
hurled charges and counter.charges.
Feeling ran high as delegates and
spectators fought and fussed while a
meeting was passed. Only a few min-

WILLIAMS OF "MURDER
FARM" VISITS FAMILY.
(Preston New. Service)
Atlanta Ga.. Aug. II. Apparently
one ol the most flagrant violation of
not only prison rule but Just plain
pure common sense was the act of
Superintendent Dunaway of the state
prison farm here Inst week when he
allowed John S. Williams to go to
his home in Jasper County to visit
his family and atttnd a big family
reunion.
Dunaway it I. Mid figuring that
the best way to save himself was to
plead Ignorance of the rules and to
take advantage of hia newness on a
jub to the commission as an excuse
for hi. dereliction of duty and viola-
tion of prison rules. He told the com1-
mission that John S. Williams who
la serving a life term at the prison
for the murder of several Nogroe. on
hi. Jasper countv farm had been re-
cently permitted to visit hi. home
but declared that the prisoner re-
mained only a short time and did
not get out of the sight of the cus.
todian during th. entise time he waa
in hi. home.
In hia effort to make hi. e.cu.e
more plausible to the commlsion Dun-
away stated that recently It became
necessary for him to make a trip to
Jasper conuty to exchange some hlga
and buy some aeed wheat and burr
clover eed for the prison farm; and
Inasmuch as Williams waa ao well
oi.qualnted with the roads in Jasper
. ounty he was taken along to act
lis chauffei.r. He further claimed that
Williams' home was on the route and
that they stopped there for only a
few minutes during which time Wil.
llama talked with hi. wife and daugh-
ter. member of the commission stuped
that they had report that William
had been allowed to go l-ome and
attend a big family reunion end bar-
becue Dunaway denied thos vigor-
ously and declared the. the only time
William had been out of the prison
was the trip wl.h him In to Jasper
county a few dav. ago for hogs and
seeds.
The chairman of the commission
roundly scored Dunaway for his viola-
tion of the prison rule and told
him that no prisoner was to be per-
mitted to leave the prison without
the knowledge and consent of the
commission.
Dunaway. It ta said frnnkly ad-
mitted to the commissi m that he did
not know It was ugalnst the rule
for a prisoner to be taken away from
the farm without the consent of the
commission 'I have only been sup-
erintendent if the prison a short time
and have not yet become familiar
with all the rules." He promt 'ed the
commission that ho would abide by
the rules in the future.
TALLADEGA SUES FOR

Dei Moines la. Aug. 11. A suit
tinloue In the arnols of Iowa court
history but on with tremendous
bearing upon the future of the edu.
cation of the Colored boy and girl In
the south waa Instituted here last
Saturday In district court when Tal.
ladega College one of the biggest
congregational Institutions In the en-
tire South sued for $33000 Interest
on a bequest of $100000 left the col-
i
i
down Eason as he was filing charges
against Garvey. Throughout the ses-
sions the "Leader of American Ne-
groes" had been on the defensive.
Incompetency forming an alliance
with a discreditable organization and
creating unfriendly feeling against
the American N.gro were charges
made by Eason. The gallery especially
took exceptlona to the allegation that
Garvey had formed an alleglence with
an unfriendly organization. This
charge "was greeted with hisses and
yells of "Put him out!"
Welcsmea a Trial.
Garvey said he welcomed a trial and
the convention voted to accept the
charges made by Eason. The Presi-
dent General then asked that he be
tried during an open session as ho
was anxious for the public to hear
the tentlmony. 'Tho delegates granted
his request. He had expressed a de.
sire to conduct hia onwn case which
friends thought unwise.
Until Eason brought the charges
the week had been taken up In con-
sideration of the alleged misconduct

After Garvey produced typewritten re-
flecting on Kaston the majority of
I delegates thought It would be wise
ito hear the case In secret session.
ot $104)00 IA Year.
The first witness called to the
stand at the forenoon session to sub-
stantiate the claims made by Garvey
' last Saturday that Eason bad been
paid thousands of dollars as "Leader
of American Negroes" was Auditor
General Garcia. Ho testified that In
the first year of Eason's incumbency
payments had been made on tn basis
of $lb000 a year. Owing to the con-
dition of the treasury the officials
had consented to cut their respective
salaries temporarily and under the
present arrangement Eason had been
paid all except tl.S7l.ll.
During this discussion Eason aald
he was a atudent of group psychology
land was aware of the fact that the
I convention would vote any way the
President General suggested. This re-
I mark was resented by Garvey.
The president General next presented
'charges against Eason which includ.
ed selling picturea and books belong-
ing to the association without mak-
ing the necei.ary financial returns
Other allegations were Issuing bad'
vucin mm Borrowing money from
members.
Admitted Cheeks Came Back.
Eason admitted giving checks
which came back but said all -had
been -made good-except one In Phil-
adelphia. The money In each Instance
waa used to defray expenses of em-
ployer. The delegates will go In se-
cret session and take up the charges
against Eason.

SAYS LIBERIA MUST RECAST ITS POL-
(By Chas. W. Ablngton)
The claim I. made with some de-
gree of plausibility that French ad-
ventures from Delppo. threaded their
way to the West Coast of Africa more
than a century before the Portu-
guese published to the world the
facts that riveted the attention of the
European poweis upon the Dark Con-
tinent. It Is said that Frenchmen
at this time foiim their way a. far
down the Atlantic as Liberia and
finally established themselves on the
Seneaal river the settlements thus es-
tablished one they called "Little Par-
Is the other they named "Little Die-
ppe." ind in addition to thl. they
opened trading atations at several
places along the Gold Coast. These
stations were founded In 138S. and
were abandoned 40 year later owing
to the war that was being waged In
France so distracting the over-sea
enterprise as to make that course
necessary. There may be considerable
truth In. the claim of the Norman to
discoveries antedating the arrival of
the Portuguese In these parts which
took place well In the 17th century.
It Is an authenticated fact that a
N'orman adventurer discovered or re-
discovered the Canary Islands in the
11th century. Data of that period
indicate w'th a marked degree of
certainty that the whole of the West
Coast down fl far as the C ulf of
Guinea was known to Italian ad-
venturer and seamen before a map
of the country was made by the Por
tuguese who were the first to lease
unmistakable evidence of their pres.
ence. Three centuries later when the
French established themselves at the
mouth of the Senegal river 4hey are
said to have found trace of the forts
said to have been built by the Nor-
mans of Dieppe where the modern
town of St. Louis now stands. But
of one thing we are certain soon
after the Portuguese laid bar. the

eloquent orations delivered in the
"Old Dominion" anc the late UN.
PLEASANTNESS BETWEEN THE
Statea; and President Moton'. ad-
dress was brlmfull of sound sense and
eloquent periods.
"Social equality" was denounced by
Dr. Robert R. Moton as . a "smoke
screen used by office seekers or po-
liticians to ride Into office." The pro-
gress made by the American Negro
ha. been due to the sympathetic co-
operation of the white people. He ad-
ded tat there never was a time that
white people of the South were so
ready and willing to co-operate with
the Negroes as they are today.
Dr. Moton atrongly advotd the pas.
sing of the Dyer anti-lvnchlnir bill
! by Congress. In this he waa support
ed in an address by Henry Lincoln
Johnson Republican National Com-
mitteeman from Georgia Johnson said:
"Conuress should act and then let the

In spite if the hard times the eco-
nomic conditions -of the Negro Is not
without encouraging features like the
rich he has met with business failures
and his suffered losses but apparent
ly not In so great a proportion as
other. In some Instances failures
have resulted In better organizations
and Improved business methods gen-
erally. It 1. especially .Igniflcant that
In most cases Negroes themselves
have been able to effect the re-
organizations and Improvements
In the building and other mechan-
ical trades Negroes have been able
not only to hold their own but In

In the commercial world the Negro
has made marked advances. W. have

hundred million dollars with ample
reserve for the protection of ivery

In farming activities the Negro Is
holding his own to a remarkable de-
gree in spite of the handicap and the
difficulties that he dally encounter.
Few other people could have with-
atood the opposition that he haa had
could have made the progress that he
has made and could have kept his
courage under auch adverse circum.
stunces. '
Where It Is remembered that these
people -entered Into Agricultural life
without financial assistance and that
their success in farmer ownership is
almost wholly due to his own efforts
and when it Is also remembered that
these farmer throughout the land
have had to continue with almost
ensuperable obstacles .... can but
rejoice for the wonderful progress
