Troop, now veterans of Batteries E
and F. of the One Hundred and Eighth

From the Pennsylvania Railroad

Forster streets thousands of rela

over which the boys marched cheer
ing and applauding the heroes to a
degree equal to any home-coming
celebration.
Although a few friends were with
the committee of the Home Folks'
Victory Association when the train
came in with the boys Saturday night
causing a slight delay in forming the
men into line, this was soon over
come and the men started their mrrch
to Market street, where a waiting
line of bands, veteran and patriotic
organizations received the .Jgnai to
start the parade.
To the noise of beating drums,
ringing fire bells, shrieking wh'stlos,
and cheering thousands these heroes
paraded west in Market street, to
Front, where flowers were strewn
in their path, then north in Frtnt to
State, to Second, to the armory
where wives, mothers, sweethearts
and crowds of friends were waiting
to greet them and take them home.
Lieutenant Horace Geisel was in
charge of the men as Major George
W. H. Roberts, of Sleelton. could net
return on Saturday evening because
of military duties which retained him
at camp. At the armory Colonel I

CHANGE CHURCH NAME
Saint Augustine Episcopal congre
gation, beliving the location in Herr
street not sufficiently centrally lo
cated. has decided to erect a new
church at 630 Forster street. The
new church will be named The
Church of the Holy Cross."
Decision to change the location
of the church was made last fall
after considerable discussion. The
property has been converted into a
chapel and residence and will be
used as such until the new church
is built. The present chapel will be
used as a church hall. The opening
services will be held next Sunday.
HAJUUSBURG TELEGRAPH
ORGANIZE FOR
EQUAL RIGHTS
The Colored Race Fights Jim
Crowism and Lynching
Without Trial
Colored people are organizing to
se £. Ul "s the r 'ghts of citizenship
which are at present denied them,
according to the annual report just
published of the National Associa
tion for the Advancement of Colored
People. Throughout the country
eighty-five new branches and 34,712
members, largely colored, were add
ed to the organization, or an in
crease of 375 per cent, in member
ship and over 100 per cent, in the
number of branches.
In making public the report, John
R. Shillady, secretary of the associa
tion, said the membership had been
increased since January l by forty
j branches and 9,000 additional mem
| bers. This increase, he said, was
I more than the total membership a
year ago.
Lieutenant Jailed
The report states that the War
Department in several instances
failed to provide redress for colored
officers subjected to indignity in the
South, despite the efforts of the as
sociation. Several such cases, in
cluding that of Lieutenant C. A.
Tribetts, are recited as follows in
the report:
"In March, the case of Lieutenant
C. A. Tribetts. a graduate of Yale
and of the Sheffield Scientific School,
who had been forced out of a Pull
man coach at Chickasha, Oklahoma,
lodged In jail and fined, was pre
sented to the department. In June,
the case of Private S. P. Jones, in
private life a dentist of good stand
ing in St. Louis, Mo., was similarly
laid before the War Department.
Private Jones was ordered out of a
Pullman at Texarkana, on the bor
der between Arkansas and
neither case, despite the fact that
both soldiers were traveling on gov
ernment order, and had been fur
nished Pullman transportation, did
the War Department afford a rem
edy, or make any attempt to do so,
other than to inform the association
that the matter was thought by a
high subordinate of the Secretary of
War 'to have to do with the execu
tion of a State law' and that it had
been referred to the Adjutant Gen
eral for an opinion. Despite the
further efforts of the association, in
cluding widespread publicity of its
protests, no redress was afforded."
It is further charged by the asso
ciation that President Wilson took
no action of which it was informed
to insure that colored soldiers in
camps might vote.
Discrimination l>y Government
Employment discrimination against
negroes in government departments
in Washington is reported by the
association.
"It is the belief of the District of
Columbia branch," says the report,
"based upon experience and upon
proof, that it is the settled policy
at present of many of the heads of
federal departments to dsicriminate
against colored people wherever
possible. The policy of the civil
service commission in requiring
photographs of applicants permits
of colored discrimination in an easy
way and is so used b" many of the
departments."
Nine Lynched In 1018
The assignation's report of its
fight against lynching shows that
sixty-seven persons were lynched In
1918, of whom four were white men
and five were colored women.
Among the offenses charged against
the victims of lynching were "creat
ing disturbance," three cases of
"stealing hogs," one case of "aid
ing mob victim in attempt to es
cape," and six persons lynched for
"conspiracy to avenge killing of rel
ative." Fourteen lynchings occurred
following charges of the "murder of
civilian," and four on charges of
"shooting and wounding."
Victims Admitted Innocent
"In three cases of which we have
record," says the report, "the press
has spoken of the innocence of vic
tims: one of these involved three
persons, another the ten victims of
Brooks and Lowndes counties mobs
(aside from the one person who
shot the white farmer which was
the incentive to the lynchings.) In
another ease it is the common belief
in the community in which a negro
was lynched for 'killing a white
woman' that the husband of the
woman was himself the murderer.
No charge has been brought against
him, however, bv the authorities.
In an additional case a bank cash
ier declared in an interview in an
Alabama paper, that a certain
lynching victim had committed no
offense, that there had been a mis
take made in the man the mob was
after."
