Hesitates Only Because he Feels That
it is not in his Power to Appoint
Such a Commission as Arkansan Di-
rects Without Consent of Congress
Washington. D. C. Oct. 25 1923.
President Coolldge is favorably Im-
pressed with the plan outlined to him
by Col. H. L. Remmel collector of In-
ternal revenue for Little Rock and
Republican national committeeman
from Arkansas for the appointment of
Negro comrolsaton to study the Ne-
gro exodus to the North and take
steps to remedy t conditions that
now exist. Colonel Remmel returned
to Little Rock Monday morning from
Washington where he had a confer-
ence with the President.
Colonel Remmel previously had dis-
cussed the plan with the late Presi-
dent Harding who also was favorably
Impressed with the plan. The letter's
death however prevented any action
In the matter. -
The plan suggested by the Arkansas
committeeman calls for the appoint-
ment of a commission of five Southern
Negroes who would maintain head-
quarters at Tuskegee Ala. the home
Property Worth $10-
000000 Bought by
Chicagoans This
Year
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago 111. Oct. 25. More than
?10ODO000 In Chicago r(?Sl estate has
gone over to Colored users either by
lease or Bale within the lam year. It
continuing to turn over now at an aver-
age rate of more than $100000 per
week. With all of this the housing
situation continues in a serious state.
The condition Is accounted for by
the tremendotiB influx that has been
going cn In Chicago all summer start-
ing in the eirly spring. When the
people came they were willing to stay
with relatives friends at hotels or
anywhere convenient. With the ap-
proach of winter many have had their
families come to Chicago and they
are anxious to spread out. In fact it
is a physical necessity as well as. a
righteous desire.
"We Bold our place down home and
we have decided to Invest In a good
six flat building" said one citizen to
an A. N. P. representative. "It is my
thought" he followed "that I should
put the money to good use while we
have it. By lnvestlu? lu an apartment
I can have a place to live and at the
same time. provide for my family."
Expressions of this kind may be heard
almost daily. v
Outside Investments In Chicago
There are more people outside of
Chicago who have large Investments
in Chicago than In any other city of
the country not excepting New York.
There are people in the South who
have property here who themselves
have never set foot In Chicago. They
have purchased through relatives or
friends in whom they have confidence.
Some of them expect to live in Chicago
"later on." .
There are a number of business and
professional men In the South who
have homes in Chicago where their
families live and from which the chil-
dren go to school and the fathers
visit here from time to time.
The community plan of apartment
purchase has gotten under . way In
Chicago. An organization Is formed
and incorporated. A building of strict-
ly modern Improvements Is found and
each person buys an apartment. One
building of this kind containing twenty-four
apartments was purchased last
week In a splendid neighborhood; an-
other is now under contemplation. Un
der the law the community purchase
corporation can buy but one building.
This does away with speculation.
Business Property Advancing
It Is noticeable that business prop-
erty in Chicago is keeping pace with
residential growth. In fact the fu-
ture is bright with concrete demon-
strations of racial- business sagacity
that should be an inspiration for Col-
ored America everywhere. Here is
an instance or two: Chicago has the
largest and finest hotels In the coun-
try owned and directed by the race.
Is this satisfying? It would hardly
seem so. A progressive business man
has recently purchased one of the fin-
est family hotels in the city on Grand
Boulevard and gets full possession
next spring when the leases expire.
Mr. John W. Webb of the Woodmen
of the Union with headquarters In
Arkansas recently Informed A. N. P.
that he contemnlate8 the construction
of en office building for his organiza-
tion In Chicago same to cost at least
$160000; two or three groups are con-
sidering the erection of a half-million
of the Booker Washington Institute.
This commission would make a
thorough tour of the South 'holding
conferences and mass meetings in
central portions throughout the terri-
tory. "It would be their duty." Colonel
Remmel said "to hold these meetings
with Negroes in fho South and px-
nloln to them that the South Is the
best place for them; to teach them
di versification of crops and advise
tnem on ways and means of bettering
their condition. We would want
Southern Negroes on the board as it
is a well recognized fact tliut the
Northern Ne?rro does not understand
hN Southern brother.
"President Coo'idere expresp-Ml him-
self as heartily In favor of the pl;in
and was only doubtful on the noint
whether or not he could appoint the
commission without rpeclal legislative
authority. He asked me to po over
the plan with Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace which I did."
Negro Sleuth Proves
. Witness Perjurer In
Stokes Case.
(By A. N. Fields.)
Chicago 111. October 26 Sheridan A.
Bruaeaux a Colored detective head of
the Keystone National Detective Agency
of Chicago succeeded In obtaining evi-
dence which would Impeach the testi-
mony of Mrs. Nell Roue Miller star
witness In the Stokes' divorce case af-
ter Attorney Samuel Untermeyer had
tried unsuccessfully for several hours
to break down Mrs. Miller's testimony
In the course of the trial In New Tork
last week.
The Miller woma'n repeatedly declar
ed that she had waited " upon Mrs.
Stokes several times In the apartment
of Ed par Wallace who was named by
Stokes as co-respondent. Attorney Un-
termeyer grilled Mrs. Miller for several
hours attempting to make her con-
tradict herself. He finally failed and
gave up In his attempts.
At this Juncture. Sheridan A. Brus-
eaux who had been retained by Mrs
Stokes was Informed by long distance
phone from New York that the case
was about to be closed and that the
Jury's verdict tcould probably hinge on
Mrs. Nell Rose Miller's statements. He
then got In touch with Mrs. Eliza Bail-
ey. Mrs. Nell Rose Miller's mother.
and finally obtained an affidavit from
her which Indicated that her daughter
had perjured herself In the New York
Court.
A dramatic scene was enacted In the
Detective's office when In the presence
of two Chicago Dally Newspaper men
Mrs. Elisa Bailey made her startling
statement. She said. "My daughter told
me that she was sure she could not
Identify Mrs. .Helen Elwood Stokes
and that she did not know the woman
she saw in Edgar Wallace's apartment
but that she was going to be forced
to testify as a witness In the W. E. D.
Stokes New York Divorce Case be-
cause she had received money at va-
rious times and was literally being
l hounded to death."
! This affidavit was rushed to New
York City by the Colored detective and
when Mrs. Nell Rose Miller was con-
fronted with her mother's statement
made under oath she admitted that
she had perjured herself.
Thus it Is believed that the testi-
mony of Stokes' star witness will be
Impeached through the brilliant work
of the Colored detective Sheridan A.
Bruneaux. This Investigation no doubt
.puts Mr. Bruseaux on record as one of
the cleverest detectives In the country
not only of his own race but of any
race..
dollar theatre on the South Side.
Strangely enough while South Side
Chicago has a number of very etcel-
lent theatres all of them ore under
white ownership albeit some of them
have ostensible racial management.
There Is a tremendous flow of cash
through these channels into some
hands where it is only appreciated for
Its dollars and cents value. This con-
dition Is true In a number of other
cities.
The banks have grasped the vision
of co-operation; and through friendly
competition ere extending a hand of
helpfulness that is proving successful.
Even the banks conducted by the "oth-
er side." at least four or five in the
Immediate neighborhood have had
their "eyes opened" by the remarkable
development of the racial banks state
and national.

Buffalo N. Y. Oct. 25. Mrs. Mary
B. Talbert one of the great characters
of the times who died here recently

life for the welfare of Colored Ameri-
ca. Msr. Talbert's last Illness was
lealtago of the heart. Telegrams and
messages of condolence were received
from all sections of the country from
people of all classes and groups.
For more than a score of years Mrs.
Talbert has traveled throughout Am-
erican and foreign countries carrying
the message of hope justice and good
will for all mankind. It was in her
home that one of the first meetings
leading to the organization of the Na-

ment of Colored People was held. Mrs.
Talbert was a director of the organi-
zation at the time of her death.
Mrs. Talbert was the 1922 recipient
of the famous Splngarn Medal given
annually to the person selected by a
committee who Is regarded as having
rrade the" greatest achievement for
the year. The achievement for which

date In Governor's Chair
(Lincoln Service)
Louisville Ky. Oct 26 From every
Indication Attorney-General Charles I.
Dawson Republican candidate for Gov
ernor will receive the solid Colored
vote of this State in the approaching
November election. Organization has
gone forward among the Colored people
and the results of registration on Oc
tober 2 and 3 strongly support this
conclusion. This is especially true of
women voters among whom Mrs. Alvlri
T. Hert widow of the famous and
lamented National Committeeman from
Kentucky Is making a special appeal
Mrs. Hert has been named as the repre-
sentative of the women of this State
on the Republican National Committee
and she is giving her personal atten-
tion to the work of organization among
the women voters.
For general organization among the
Colored voters Walter Robinson. of
Hopklnavllle. has been Installed In an
office at the "Rapunllcan headquarters
and the business of enrollment -is going
forward meeting with remarkable co-
operation from the leading Colored men
and women.
The candidate for Governor is mak-
ing a brilliant campaign and challen-
ges the admlratloh and support of the
Colored people by his liberal views for
the extension of education and the re-
cognition of the rights of all citizens of
Kentucky without regard to color.
While there had been expressed some
dissatisfaction among the Colored vo-
ters this appears to have been entirely
dissipated by the reflection that the
Democratic party is no less now than
It has always been the most consistent
and the most powerful enemy of the
race.
The Democratic candidate of Gover
nor and the speakers In his behalf are
running true to Democratic form. They
are rendering the hustings reverber-
ant with vicious and prejudiced at-
tacks upon the race and particularly
Its women. Vile epithets and raucous
references to Colored women are being
used by the Democratic spell-binders
In such a manner that even respecta-
ble Democrats are disgusted with the
bitter tirade. "Negro domination" the
pet campaign cry of Kentucky Demo-
crats has been unearthed from Its ob-
solete closet and tuned up for cam

success. They say that It Is the rule

Damage of $75000 is Done by Fire
of Undetermined Origin to Johnson
Factory of Safety Devices for Mines.
Only Partially Insured
(Preston News Service)
Jeannette Pa. Oct 26 Fire said to
be of undetermined origin destroyed
the Geo. M. Johnson Manufacturing
Company plant at Fourth and Patton
streets shortly after midnight last
Thursday night entailing a loss of more
lhan $75000.
. The company manufactures mine
safety devices which have been recog-
nized by leaaing mine experts through-
out the country as the best on the mar-
ket and if they bad been installed In
the Dolmlte mine In Alabam. the fright-
ful toll of lira would have been avoid-

Negroes Will Ask That
Amendments be En-
forced by U. S.
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Washington D. C Oct. 25. "Shall
the amendments to the Constitution
of the United States be enforced "
That promises to be one of the big
Issues before the electorate of the na-
tion In the 1924 Presidential election.
Colored America has an "ace In the
hole" on the Issue If it will only be
UBed to advantage. The crux of the
Issue will hinge on the Eighteenth
amendment "as sure as a gun's made
of Iron" but there is a come-back on
the 14th and 15th amendments that
will make the whole Grand Circuit
race look like a Barney Google and
Spark Plug.
Gov. Plnchot of Pennsylvania laid
down the gauntlet; and President Cool-
ldge took it up. Senator Borah Re-
publican of Idaho who on occasion
has proclaimed his sincere regrets that
the 15th amendment was passed
comes forth In a typical Borablstlc
hurst of eloquence on the enforcement
of the First amendment that marks
him as a true statesman on Its face
but In the light of past utterances and
Indifference brands him almost as a
demagog.
Is Borah a Hypocrite?
By using the very own language of
Senator Borah a number of people
are asking mhether Senator llorah
should be designated as a hypocrite.
Declaring that the prohibition amend-
ment Is "the storm center now of
the Constitution." Senator Rorah
snld:
"It Is In the Constitution after years
of agitation and discussion after forty-three
states had already adopted
state-wide prohibition laws and after
ratification by forty-six states of the
Union. Surely no one csn claim can-
didly that this amendment is in the
Constitution by accident or as a result
of undue haste." (The same may be
said of the 14th and 15th amendments
as they went the same course.)
Senator nornh declared he was to
the opinion that "if any one provision
of the Constitution could be regarded
as more vital to the cause of freedom
than any other it would be the first
amendment which guarantees free
speech a free press and the right to
worship God according to the dictates
of one's conscience."
Hypocrites In Law
"But" he continued "men are In
prison today and have been for six
years in absolute violation of the fun-
damental principles of the first amend-
ment. They are there not for vio-
lence not for assaults upon life or
property but for the expression of
their political views. What Is even
more startling they are there without
any legal evidence upon which to hold

turing Company and work was sched-
uled to start on the new structure
within a few days.
The Johnson devices are now In use
on more than a thousand coal mines
in all parts of the country. Among
some of the large concerns using these
devices are: The Henry Ford Colleries;
M. A. Hena Companies; Consolidation

ing fewer mines The concerns named
have from 20 to 200 mines each.
It is said that the loss was only par
tially covered by Insurance. On account
of the enormous growth of the busi-
ness during the past year the old plant
was largely used for keeping stock
and the patterns.
Mr Johnson said; "This owful dlsy
aster Is very damaging Just at this
time as we have more than $200000
worth of orders promised or delivery
before the end of this year. This fire
