Canan Doyle Causes Story of
Unique Negro Hypnotist to be

(By A. N. P.)
-' Chicago III. June 1. Connn Doyle
has rested no end of discussion about
the return of departed spirits by his
lecture in America. It remains for the
Chicago Herald and Axaminer in a
leading editorial to show how the
whole matter might be hypnotism by
telling of the story of a Negru wh
was able to amusingly hypnotise an
entire group ot white' tourtM. It
reads: .
Is Consii Doyle serious in Ms be.
lief that he has seen and heard spirits
not by himself but In company? No
doubt Most people believing in Doyle
but In his spirits cast about for an
explanation. A professor at the Uni-
versity of Chicago finds or In hypno-
tism. .- .
' (t is easier he ssys to hypnotise
a groutt than a single individual il-
lustrates by personal experience. A Ne-
gro one of the professor's porters on
an expedition in Africa was alleged
to be a magician. Invited to give a
display of his powers he borrowe-'l a
knife and cut his tongue to ribbons.
Moving to a box he picked off a
bunch of leaves kwabbed out his
mouth wiped ofl the bloody knit's and
turned to the professor his grinning
open and uninjured mouth.
"Snatching .up the knife again he
cut his left eye caught it in his palm
and held it forth.
"I saw it" says the professor "as
clearly as I ever saw anything. So
did all the rest there was no doubt
about it. He clapped his hand back
to his face took It away again and
stared at us from two perfectly good
eyes."

PREDICTS SPLIT IN G. 0. P.
IN 1924.
' Chicago. III.' June 1. "Will there
be a split In the Republican nsrtvf"
That question has been asked from
.Shore to shore" particurly since the
recent primaries In Indiana and
Pennsylvania to say nothing of Ore-
gon where the Ku Kluxers boldly and
defiantly enter the arena backing a
candidate for governor.
The Associated Negro Press Can
state with authority of one of the
foremost wen In American political
life that it Is his opinion that there
may be a spilt by 1924. Here is
the way this authority sizes up the
situation:
The common people are tired of be-
ing hoodooed by promises and broken
pledges. This Is particularly true of
Colored people. We have been goats
Jacks and many other soologlcal ani-
mals for others to thrive upon. Times
have changed. A promise made must
be a promise kept if the support of
our voters are wanted.
"Therefore it la my opinion .that
by 1924 this feeling of disaffection
and prote-l will crystal ixe Itself be-
hind Maor Thompson of Chicago:
Mayor Hyian of Now York; perhaps
Senators Borah and Johnson possibly
William McAdoo and others to the
end that a new party will be formed.
This opinion is shared by a number
of others with whom the sublet was
discussed but the majority feel that
whatever differences there are will

Editor "Real Hero."
(By A. N. P.) -
By William Plcken)
New York N. Y.. June 1. Clifton
F. Richardson of Houston. Texas ex-
empllfies the best courage that God
lifts made in man. He ia editor of the
"Houston Informer" a weekly paper.
He ranks not only'among the moat
courageous of humana.ln-general but
what is more than that; he is one
of the most courageous Negroes In
the southern State. The highest and
truest type of courage on this plan
is that of a black man In Mlssisippl or
Texas. It requires more courage for
a black man in Texas to be a normal
human being than for a white Texan
to be a "hero;" for when a black man
In Texas darea to. walk and talk and

in much more danger of his life than
Is the white Texan who tries the
dare-devil business. It requires more
courage for a Negro to ride on a
Pullman car In Texas than for white
to face and fight a dozen robber
bandits. If the white Texan fought
off the bandits and saved his purse
he would be praised by all men and
perhaps rewarded; but If a Negro ia
a Pullman fought off his would-be
murderers and saved his life he would
next have to fight every other white
man in the state from the governor
down. .
He would find more hell after ha ex.
tricated himself from the Pullman car
than he found in it A few divi ns-n

young women two of them secretaries
of the national Y. W C. A. and on
a lady physician. Now a drawing room
ia more "separate" from the rest of
a Pullman car than ia the Jim Crow
end. from the rest of a day coach.
This shows the whole hypocrisy; the
objection is not to contact with Col-
ored people but to comforts for Col-
ored people. The chivalrous Texas
gentlemen could not bear the thought
flat colored women were riding In
were locked in their own drawing-
room and could not be seen.
It requires more courage for a Ne.
gro editor In Texas to speak and
print the truth in time of peace than
for any white editor to print treason
in time of war. Clifton F. Richard
son has been speaking the truth thru
his "Informer" and they are naturally
lying In wait for any such Negro. The
officers of the law will shield them-
selves under the cloak of public auth-
ority and do to such a Negro what
the mob darea not to attempt. For
some flimsy excuse they will arrest
him and (cet him down to the police
station or "slaughter pen" as Richard
son aptly cans it
They arrested Richardson. As he
was driving his car into the garage
he heard some one Jn a swiftly pass-
ing automobile yell out to him:
"Hey!" Thinking that some acquain
tance had merely greeted him he
drove on in. A minute later two white

from all parts of America gathered

QUESTION AS TO ITS CONSTITUTIOiJ-
ALITY CAUSES LEADERS TO ABANDON
FIGHT FOR IT. PLANS NOW BEING
MADE TO REWRITE AND RESUBMIT IT.
(By A. N. P.)
Washington D. C June 1. The Dy-
er' Anti-Lynchlng Bill has struck a
snag. An opinion that the measure
ia unconstitutional and should not be
enacted by Congress was sumbitted
to the Senate Judiciary committee by
a sub-committee headed by Senator
Borah. Its friends fear this action
will mean the . death of the bill. Cer.
talnly there Is little hope for action
at this session of Congress.
Senator Borah waa Joined In hold.
Ing 4he bill unconstitutional by Sen-
ators Overman Democrat North Caro-
lina and Shields Democrat Tennessee.
The other sub-committee mem-
bers. Senators Sterling Republican
South Dakota and Dillingham. Re-
publican Vermont were said not to
be in complete disagreement but be-
lieved the bill might well be passed
and be submitted to a test before the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Senator Borah - and his associated
contended that the Supreme Court of
the United States had decided square-
ly In a lynching case from Alabama
that a Federal antl-lynchlng law waa
beyond the Federal nowera. Therefore
It would be useless to present to the
court the question annw under thn

Many experienced nubile men have
contended right along that this would

well as an assistant United State At.

had declared it constitutional and

In a telegram to the Associated

which ha as a-lawyer drafted Is de-
clared to be faulty. He wired A. N. P.
ss follows:
"WsHhlngton D. C The Judiciary

ther consideration for two weeks In
order to have conferences between
members of the judiciary committeo
or the Senate and of the House rela-
tive to meeting objections and sug-
gestions as to changes desired by
Judiciary committee of Senate. I . be-
lieve that the two committee will get
together upon the matter and I think
a law will be enacted before the end
of this congress."

This leaves ihe entire situation In
statu quo. Colored pnople. throughout '
the country have been vitally interest-

the recent wave of lynching- r
