Aciaio\7ledFTnent is made of the Director's letter of Ifov, 9,

initialed as belav, which advises that Cyril Briggs, Editor of 'The Cru-

sader," has been endeavoring to get the Post office I>epartment to talie ;

action against L'arcus G^rTej) and the Black Star line for having used
the United states nails to defraud its shareholders.

I interviev/ed Briggs at £299 Seventh Avenue, Hew yori- Cit:; »

on the I5tb inst. and he appeared ver.v v.llling to give his assistance »

in t>".is .Tatter. Eis charge against the subjects is based upon cop:y oi

a cirouliir issued b^J the Black Star Line, the outer page of which car-

ries a photograph of a large freighter vdth the name '"phT^llis 'Mieatle:;'

on the bovj. The purpose of this circular is to solicit stock subscrip-

tionB and while it is not stated in this circular that the "Fh:yllis

vrhentleT?" is o":ned h^ the Blade" Star Xine, the entire effect is to leac.
.

one lalselj to that impression.- Bri£::gs aflvised rae that on October ?-9th

he addressed a letter to the Department of conmerce\ Bureau of iraviga-

tion» V.'ashin^ton, asking; whether or not such a ship as the ""^^h-./llis j

'^^eatlo:y" actuall:; e"li.^tod. He showed me copy of the repl^ v/hich he

received and which reads as fo31ov/s:

The Ci -dader,
2a99 Seventh Ave*
IJew York, 17. Y.

Gentle-rien:

Comply inf^ with your request of the 29th Inst, this office
advises you that it has been unable to find in its record or maritime
reports the steamships "Antonio L^aceo" crcL "phyllia V,a:eatley".

Respectfully,
(signed) A. ?igrer.
Acting Cojnmissioner,

The above letter is reproduced in the Kovember issue of "The ;

Crusader" and an editorial accornpanying it makes a direct charge against


'

the Black Star Line that it does not ov;n any such ship as the "Phyllis

Wheatley,"

Briggs states he is positive that the circular mentioned auovc

has been v/idely circulated through the mails. Upon my solicitation he

promised to obtain the name and address of a.% least one person v;ho re-

ceived same and v/ill be willing to give a statement- He also tias offers

to secure the names of persons v^jO, having received this circular and

. believing that the steamship "Phyllis \7heatley" was the property of the

Black: Star Line, purchased stock therein.

In Brings' office at the ti.Ti3 I intervie'.ved him v;as one Hev.

LiCGuire (colored), former Chaplain General of the Universal llegro im-

provement Association. McGuire advised me that he was formsrly very ^

active in J^arcus C^arvey's behalf, but having come to the conclusion tha

he v/as a sv;indler, left the organization, losing his investment of some

$300. in various stoc--: enterprises v;hich Garvey engineered. L^cGuirois

taining of Garvey's visa, Lr, Latthev.-s v;as de-
sirous of giving US such infornvation which v/e

that there are no questions at the present tin^e
v;hich v/e desire to asi^ hir., but if at an;/ tic^e
in the future v;e h3.a occasion to seek any infor-
mation concerning Garvey's activities, or that
of his orr:ani3ation that we would call upon him
for such inforn:ation as he might C3i-e to give
us.

Durinrr the course of the interview he'shov;«


ed ne a letter which Garvey had received fro:n
Cyri] 3ri^'g3, ---inviting Garvey to join the Africai
Bro"od 3rotharhood, From this letter both Gar-

pondftnce with the dlplciatfi of llurorc Central, end Soiith Acrrlcn

It no doutt Vkill h£ve the desired effect - You ctn rest aaBure

that anything that Garvoy does alon^ this line has soae ultimate

motive. In It, Garvey vrae very nuch elated today over the fact

that his case against BrlggE csoie up yesterday and Brlggs was hel
'
^
In $5c0 (five hundred dollars) bond for further hearing. Brlggs

furnished the bond and Is out snd I ras talXing to hlQ this even-
ing and he doesn't aeem to be worried over the esse. Brigjs said

that he hadn't any doubt, that the case v.-ould be thrown out of

court Tihen It Coso to trial. Garvey Kill publish Brlggs' cr.Be In

this ireeKs issue of the paper but he rill have to publish in t^.e.

same iesuc his retraction about Brlggs being a ?;hlte sen. Gcrvey'i

apparent victory ever Hrlggs vrlll ^niy help aattcrs £3 Brlggs in

Eore hostile toTrcrds Garvey no77 than ever, in the next issue of

Brlggs* magazine the series of articles by Crlchlow on G.^rvey will

strir*., they v;lll cer*tilnly do Garvey no good as thsy expose Vzr^'e-i

and his /jTrlc^in pl^n. The only objection "lo this is that the

^hole thing is so long that Grlchlo-w told mo ttiat it v/OLild ta:<e

eeveral months to putllsn th<5 whole thing and i an afraid that th(

;ublic will loose the connecting thoughts, Crichiow also tolrt rie

that Gnrvey had sent for his attorney to Bee if they couldn't ccz:fc

to oOmjO agrecKont by which they could settle crlchlow's suit out

of court. Crlchlc?: said that he T;ould settle for >iic;)D (one thoutJ-

und dollars) This 1g salsry that Crlchlovf is cueing for that Garvf/

proxioed to r^y hla for his services In In'onrovla^ Liberia.

I loamea todny the J. D. BrooKe tilio wb& Secretary General rnd w


dloai-rearrjci ceveral iconthB ago with several hundred dollars, was

arrested laat nlgtit t>y the bonding conipany tnat was on tila bond.

Brooks Is now In tno Toiabs here In IIott Yorlc and no doubt could give

Boaa very IntereDtlng infoxnatlon abou^ Garvey and his rincnce. Etoo}j;

la an Aaerlcan negro ajDd has never been very lauch in synpathy wltn

Garvey and bis scbenss, I tnlnlc it Viould be wall to have BtooIcq intea

viewed by sn agent. Brooks has already tried to get in touch wltb

Garvey Knovflng that Garvey would do anything to )ceep the case out of

court but It seeHS that Garvey la powerless as the case Is In the hai

of the bonding cor^peny.

You rill find enclose a letter from San f'edro do Macoris, f^:r^a

this letter you can sec hor the Dominican Goveraent looks upon the

U. E. I. A* Garvey would not publish this letter because he said the

psychological r^rf-^ct would be bad for the organizaticn in this countr

Ee described it by saying that If ne^roe^: !'.noT.' *.hst a negro gtveriisnt


v.as Co'iln;;*. the orsanlr-.n. Ion It v^oulfl b? bad for tno organization.

ov3r thft outco:iis of the case* At the tlae on ray Tirrltlng I hnve no

had & chafflce to see Brigga and discuss the case viith hita. I luiew

ivhat Garvey's line of prosecution would be and saw that Briggs gc

this Information so that he would bft prepaxfid with his defense bi

it dldnl-t do any good because I really belelve that Garvey hsd

"fixed" things, Garvey told ae that he is going to Xeep after

Briggs until he breaics hla. He says that next weeic he is going t;

enter three suits against Drlggs, one for the Blaclc star Llnajont

for the U. N. I. A., and one for himself. He says that Brings ha:

doiiC hiai thousands of dollars worth of hara. Garvoy testified in

court that he had racelvad letters fronH':^!! over the wolrld about

the artioiss that Brings had v^ritten about hliH. I fcnoTV this to b<

trueo ofcpuree the harn has b?sn done and Briggs can do lots mor<

but If this case goes against Briggs in Special Sessions it ^11.^

stop Briggs and I would suggest that your office see that this

doejsnH happsi?. At present Briggs is the biggest thorn In Garve-j

Bldo end if i may. I vjould sii5£;^st farther that this case be calle
as soon as poasihlB so thors will he no let up in Briggs' propsga

da, as Garvey see^ns to keep Just enough wlthiii the law to keep ou

of prison,

YOU will notice in this issue of the Negro Vorld on page five
en advortisiiiGnt saying that there will be i}CQ,000 (two hundred

thousand} copies of the Negro TTorld printed for the Xnas muiber,

this is not true as there vrill only be about 3o,oOo (thirty

thousand) copies. The nuiiiber of course Is boosted in order to e:rtt

advert l3,-a?*nt:3. The bl^j-;f^st blow that Oarvey could rec^lvo v;ouId

be to stop hifi neT?3Paper and it seems thnt this false advortlai^'-at

you will notice tnat the African Pvadcmption Fund collectod


about ;J690 (eight hundred dollars) this weelt* These figures sre

correct^ but even with this money there is not enough to keep up

expenses, the laundry had over drav/n their account $341, o© (three

hundred fourly ons dollarsj this week and there Vfas no money to

pay the Exscutlvs Council this weekt whose salaries ar^ due tl'^e

Continuing on this matter; hj appointment, I called up Cyril

BrigoS to obtain frorn hiii any information in his possession with regard

to the all2n:ed misrepresentation by the Black Utar Line in itG sale of

stock. L-y prex'ious reoorts v/ill show that Brig^s promised to obtain

the na'iea of p rsons v/ho could be used by this Departinent as v/iunesses

insuch action. Briggs informed me at this time that while he had lo-

cated several such persons, none of them v/ould care to mal^e any state-

ments a.-;ain it Garv^jy ,


principally through fear cf consequences or em-
bairass'nent arriong their friends^ Hov;ever, Briggs promised to continue
his efforts and keco me in xoriried^

A33t. U.5-Attarney Joyce, v:h0j after going over it in sorne detcil

SURgeat^Qd that it apT)eared better in the premises to seciare a Grend

Jtiry iniictaent in preference to a Cozsnissioner *3 sfarrant for the

reason that the latter nii^ht force the GovernLient to a hearing, v.'hich

ilr. Wilkinson stated, v;ithotLt £:=:-uinatijn of the books, he was not

ready for. The subject of yrarvey's probable escape was brought up

and Ilr* Joyce stated that plaaing him under bond, which would likely

be not nore than ^'5,000, could hardly be ei^ipected to prevent this

when, the irinensity of the alleged frau^ nas considered.

Thus as the T::a.tter nov/ at.'znls the c.7;.je

On Jairoary TOth, 1920, after the ship had coapleted its round trip frcn

the ^est Indies xinier the asreenent Just mentioned, Carrey again came to

Mp. Harrias to ask another defemnent of the delivery date. Thereupon, a

third supplement contract was entered into, according to inhich 02O,COO iras

for the C4?,5CU b&lance, each note calling for the payment of $4-, 950* dated

a month apart, the first one dated llay nth. On this date, also, Earrlss

Irbe & Tose gave to the* Slack Star Line a bill of sale, so that it therefore

heoaae the actual date of delivery and is so recorded in the records of the

former concern. It is not to be understood, however, that title to the ship

passed to the Line with this bill of sale, for such was not the casei In an

laterrlew with Kr. Leo Healy, -U Court Street, Brooklyn, attorney for

EinTisa, Ir'be & Tose, he adviees that title has never ^ssed to the

Blade Star Line, and that the ship la to thi0 day registered xoider the

name of his clients* He farther explains that the reason for this is due

to the nmri^llr.gness of the Sepeurtnent of Conaerce, Canada, to transfer

the registry, hased upon an investigation 'by tOxat Bepartoent of the

Black Star Line, and their finding that it ivas not officered hy responaihle

parties or managed with proper ca^e. This, states lir. Healey, vas not

onlj- cade knovTn to hinself and his clients, hut iras also veil tmderstood

tty Carrey and other officers of the Slack Star Line, rho, in an effort to

eiremarent this rnllng, forced idiat vns knovm as the Blacic Star Line of

Canada, for the purpose of tsiing the ship over. However, when the Canadian

anthorities again investigated, and found that this new corporation was

officered "by the Bcme persons entrusted with the affairs of the Black

Star Line, Inc. in this country, they again refused to transfer registry*

Of aiy of the Garvey organiiations, except that "they shov;6d him four or five

Of Carey's affairs, I have deferred taking such statement -antil Hr.

willing to testify to:

1, Coniitlcns In Africa

2, Speeches delivered hy Carrey in the U*S.

1D21.

Crichlow was for a long period Offloial Reporter of the U.lul.

Ju In this capacity he travelled throughout the Itolted States v/ith ilarcus

Garvey, reporting steno^raphically his various speeches, oany of which SUb-

egucntly appeared in the "Uegro World" verhatija. He is willing to testify

to any of the speechas so reported, and helieves he can produce the original

notes of TcKT^l * V
Daring IS'^O, I "believe, Crichlow '.vas selected ty the U.K. I^A.

to head a delegation of its nemhers, which made a trip to Llheria, Africa.

Crlchlovv'a findings there are enhodied in several letters, photostats of

Rhlch are la possession of this office. He la willing to testify as to the


neither

tie to Carrey's proposed colonization scheme; that clisatlo aaad economic con-

Aitions were sach that this scheme woold he lzapracticahle# end that he notified

Carrey in writing end la person of these facts. It is of course well knovm

that not only did Carrey supress Crichlow^s report, but, in addition, continaed

to pahlicly misrepresent the facts after receiring it. Crlchloc la now soinc

Carrey for $t3Cu haofc pay, Tftiich he claias la dae him fjrom the African trip.

Eegardlng Carrey's trip to the V^est Indies d-uring 1921 , Crichlow states

that the fomer freely discussed it with hia prior to leavine the country, and .

rtille they were both travelling around the U.S. visitins different divisions of

i3ie 2.2. 1.A, Carrey, states Crichlow, told hlzn that things looked rery hed

financially for the Black Star Line at the tine and that a crash was Irainent.

therefore, Canrey is alleged to have said, he intended leavln^r the country so

that should anything happen he could claim ignorance hecause of his ahsence.

This is prohahly true, for I have received information from several sources durig

the past week that Garvey's defense in this case, so far as It refers to the

phantom "Phyllis uheatley'* Trill he that all transactions regarding it took

place during his absence from the country.

I today made a search of the records in the offices

far hack as 1917, and the only record found pertaining to either of the

famished by the libellants to the S/S "Zanawha." This claim v; as

settled on September 11, 1920, and the Marshal's release was filed

September 14, 1920.

There is no other libel record against either' of the

evarj possfble CLdvrintajTC, even tlmt of teconinj; President of the Afri-

Cianifested on the part of all loyal negroes; that he had always

he liad a dollar his hearers could have half of it — and that this

is the spirit that must aninate then all — they nust he ready to

share all that they have TTith their brethren. He stated that not only

the v;hites, nho liated hin for his efforts in hehalf of the negroes,

bnt hypocritical and self-seeiiin.^ negroes as well had heen conhattinr-

his efforts and ridiculing hin; that the Oovernrient had spent thous-

there were negro papers, as well as white, that could not find head-

lines hiT cnourh to announce to the world that lliP^CUS 0A7.Y^ had
'been arrested, hut that he would conq.u2r then all and live to lead

j
the negro race to victory. He stated that he liad been arrested three

I
tines before, but that they could not conauer hin, and he assured his

hearer3 that he would be bac> fron I'ew Yor:^: a free ran the following
evening to address then again. He spol:e of the snail cost of joining

initiation fee was only 55 cents, and that all eiitras only anounted

to one dollar- He eicpre^ed the. hope that evexy negro in Baltimore

would Join the local ^;:sociation in order that it zairht do truly ef-

fective wor^ for the negroes of Baltirioro and elsewhere.

^e closed by stating that in order to truly prepare the negroes


"" lEaroia II:ithar..

for service everyv/here, 'and in order to secure for then well-payinr:

iPOsitions, he hcid orsanised a "Civil Service Board", and all those

desiring to secure ^ood Goverrzient positions vfould be taught "by cou-


I

potent instructors en-;ar:ed "by this Board.

Co3V3y'S reriarlis were :fairly enthusiastically received,

althou:Th it is apparent tl:at not all of the persons present v;ere nen-

"bers of the Association, a niinber having attended vrhose motive in

BO doing pas nothing but pure curiosity.

On the nir^ht of li'ebmary 2, 1922, GAP^Virr again spoke at

the eane place. His addrsjj ras practically a repetition of that of

the previous ni.^ht. He stated that it rras only a matter of time

before the v;hites v;ould drivo the negroes out of t":i3 coiintry; '.^at

even at the present tine, those nho read understandin^ly ivould notice

that white iLiriiiPrrants of all races nere bein^; received for the sole

purpose of tcliin^r the place of the negroes; that the negro is not

welcome any:;here; that he is not TTanted here in Baltimore, referring

specifically to IIcGulloh Street. (!I]hera h^s been some trouble in


that neighborhood during the past fev; years due to the negro invasion
in that section of Baltimore City.) He farther stated that he did

not blaine I^ngland or the*United States for not having colored repre-

sentatives, colored Congrossnsn and colored Senators, but that he

blamed the negroes themselves; that they were not v/illinT to stand
up for their rights, Qon3eq.uently suffering all the indignities tliat
• 6
2irold TatUan

were heaped upon then at all times and all places. He stated tl:at

due to economic and other conditions, the colored race in this coi^rLtr7

vras not increasing. He repeated tiirit the tnie hone of the coloi-ed

race is in Africa, and that in order to regain the Colored Sutherland,

it v/ould be necessary to "wade through hlood". He spolze of the ne:Troe

whose only desire it v;as to secure fron their race political pcaer,

addin?x that these v:erG the negroes v;ho had alvrays opposed hin and the
UL'IVBHSAL ir^aP.O m^aOY.":!";:!;? ^33P3IA7I0r, because they linew that the
latter or^?.ni2ation air.ed solely to benefit its nenbers, and not to

secure political por;er of any Icind. He stated that four years ago

the U. I;. I. A. started vrith 13 nenbers, and that they nor? hare
four million and orsr; that there are over four billion nenbers of

the blaclr race tiu'ou^^hout the world; that this great nass of colored

hmaanity is now going to demand fair treatment of this country and

of all other countries, and they are going to get it. He referred to
the rapid ad-^ancenont of Japan in the last decade, stating that v;hat

the yellov/ race did the black race could also do; that the blac^:
race vrould soon join hands vrith the yellow race, possess r/aos^shipc; and
all the paraphernalia of v;ar and laake itself a real poiver in the
world. He again appealed for increasel membership in the IT.IM.A.

to secure GoTorntient positions.

There were aliout 250 persons present at this meeting;"

CA2Y3:r'S remrlcs were fairly enthusiastically received.

Ihe third and last address of subject nas held at the sane

place on the nl;^ht of 'i'e'bruiiry 3. There v;ere ahout 500 present.

2here vias the usual "theatrical" opening of the proceedings, the sin^r- ':

iiig of "Onr/ard, Ciiristlan Soldiers", the grouping of the American

and suppoced African fla^, etc. H:2^.I35!?A 'JirS^OK D.'SI1S delivered

a short, hut fervent address along the lines of her address on the

occasion of the first neetin5 on February 1. She spolie of the so-

called xuisa atrocities, stating that she had been there shortly after-

wards and was Rreatly sur^irised to see the Siale iiienhers of her audi-
ence gradually dispersing. She inq.uired the reason for this withdrav;-

al, and was inforned that the Ku IZlurc Zlan -as holding a meetinf?
that evening and that it was not considered safe for any negro to be

seen either in the iiall or on the streets. She drew from this al-

leged incident the inference that the negro race v;as everywhere op-
pressed and subject to the ill-treatnent and abuse of the v/hite race

In all p^ts of the country, and attributed these conditions to the


fact that the negroes had ^lot asserted themselves racially and had no

country or hone that they could call their own. She appealed to her
hearers to continue the struggle for bettor conditions here, but

She regretted that- the U.IT.i^A. vras so ^7ealc in Baltinoro, statinr

that the order v;as stron^^er in Philadelphia and elsevjhere; that the

At the he£innin^, GAHV^ stated that his topic vrculd he
"The Iiasiness of the Kesro", hy which he meant to imply that the only

thing that prevented the negro race from attaining real leadership

j
was their apparent inertia and lact of desire to free themselves from

I
the discLhilities hy v;hich they Trere enslaved. He stated that the

negroes of America v;ere asleep and that they would hjive to "get a
move on themselves". He stated that he had heen endeavorin.n: to
nake them for some years, and in his efforts has encounterGd opposi-

tion not only from individuals, hut from the Oovomment of the ITni ted

States; that the United States Department of Justice has a room in

continue to do so they r/ill not only need one room "bnt that they vjill

need a v-hole "ouildinr^ in order to i:eep his speeches and addresses.

He appealed to those present to redeen Africa, statin^r tlir-t they coul-I

ncTer find a real home in thi-' country. T'e stated that the IZu illus:

Klan had heen organic sd ostensibly to oppose the Jews, the uatholics
and- the Tegroes, "but that, in reality, they al-e not orjposin- the

Catholics or the Jev/s, — their real oLject xj io crush the negro.


He stated that Africa, the \:o::.q of the race, had been conquered by

the vrhites for three hundred years, but that it v;culd not tzXQ the

negro race that time to vdn it back; that sooner or later the fla^

of the African P.epublic xrilJ. v:aiTe froia Cairo to Capeto\7n. He at-


tacked those of the negro race who had opposed him, stating that they
v;ere but selx-jeakin^ politicians and Jealous because he served the

true interests of his race. He stated that while he v;as abroad in

South Araerica they sent a petition to the Oo^^mnent asliin/> that he


be barred fron reentering this country, that if he cane back he v.'oald

ruin thaa. He stated that he v.-ould ruin them, bec:\use they vrere not
true leaders of the race — they are only the white nan's lackey and
the white nan's slave, and would sell their race for a few dollars;

that hie intention is to have the race. free not only fron political

oppression, but free fron adver^se econonic conditions; th-t he wants

then he reopected throughout the norld. ^e further stated that on

a trip to Zii^^land, the ^.^lish Governraent assigned tv;o i^en-of-v.-ar

to lay alongside his ship in the harbor, the purpose of which was to

watch ri?.Ci:3 Q:3,'7yz and his every novenent; that it cost the

English Gcvsrnrrient thousands of dollars to watch hin — all "becaiu;o

he hrou^rht a nsssage to those of his race which signified freedom

froni oppression; that the fight upon which he has entered is i-:o±ii^

to continue in spite of all obstacles, and that three hundred years

negroes of this country unite, they \7ill he herded together like

sheep and driven out; that every nation has its fla^, and the Afri-

can P.epublic nust ha^•e its flar, which v/ill wave in the Capital of

Africa. He stated that there was no ner^ro delegate to the Confer-

ence on Xfinitation of Arcanents, v;hich shov;od that the ne^ro was

not wanted any.vhere by the whites. He referred, in a hiunoroiia vein,

to colored secret organisations, statin.^ that they v^ere useless and

for TTe*- York and vtas ,^oing to rest a short tine and then proceed to

^he headauartsrs ot the organization .in Chicago to neet ncnbers oZ the

various locals there; that he had lots of T;or> to do, and they could
rely upon his heins active in "behalf of the cause; that it v;ouia he

not return they uould Irnon that Llh^CUS GAHV::^ v/as working day and

here in Baltinore, and hoped tliat they would energetically continue


to secure nav; inenhers and make the organization in Baltinore one of

which they might he proud.

At all of the ahove referred to meetings an admission fee of


35 cents was charged. Only one collection was talien up — at the
second meeting. The proceeds of the three meetings, therefore, rjQTo

not rer^ large. This organisation has "been in a somewhat morihund

LADY H2I;HI2TTA VIKTOK DA7IS A330CIATIOIJ

PACTS OCVELjOPED:

At Buffalo , ilew York.

Beference is made to letter from Special Agent in

Charge Brennan, New York City, J'ebmaiy 15, 1922, initialed CJS-JJZ,.

in v/hich he states that IiUHCUS GAHVSY, negro radical leader, is

scheduled to make an address at Hochester, ^ew York on i^ebruary 22nd.

Information having been received that UAHCUS GASVjTf

was to speak in iiiller's Hall, 264 Sast Genesee Street, Buffalo,

N.Y., on Sunday ni^ht, February 19th, - pursuant to instructions

Agent proceeded to this hall at 7.50 p.m. to cover same. There

were about 750 negroes present, and they seemei to be of the better

class of Buffalo's colored people. An admission of 35^ was charged,

After being in the hall a short time. Agent heard voices from an

adjoining hall, where the doors were closed, and the voices sounded

as if military orders were being given. Agent opened the door

and went into the next room, which was a large banquet haH, and
tJa^^ie^were a number of colored men and women drilling. They were

ali rxr.e,a up; about twenty men v/erto aoT m uniform; about 1-6; women

wer^ dftXi^aed in motor corps unifcr-ra, of ark_ci>lQr and about

•hhjjr*^ -croraen v/ere dressed in white, representing the Africnn Blacli

' and will "be fcno^TH as the Africao legion. At promptly 8 o*cloclc

they marched into the large hall and formed s double line down
? through the center aisle to the stage, through which Il^CUS GAHVZY

and 'UDY HjUTEISXTA VIz:T0N DAYIS, clothed in flowing robes, with

several attendants in uhifona, marched S3S1S to the stage •

GAHVSY was introduced by President Alfred A.

Boykin, of iocal 79, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association

and African Communities Iteague, Bxiffalo, Sow "^orlc, under whose t

auspices the meeting was held. Garvey then addressed the gather- \

ing and his remarks, although not very radical, were carefully
i

chosen* In substance, he spolce as follows:

In opening, he stated that in these times a

person speaking had to be very careful about his remarks; that is,

to sea that the correct meaning was conveyed; that the object of

the organisation was misunderstood in Buffalo to some extent, and

by some clergymen as well as the ordinary colored people; that there


were three vtypes of people: white, yellow and black; that recently

the white race had become power crasy and almost challenged the

power of God; that tha yellow race was nearly the same, ani both

these races exchanged compliments; that the "black race had been

300 years in doubt and straggled along doing the bidding of the
Caucasian race; that there were 400,000,000 colored people in the
world, and what any white or yellow race had been a-KLe to acccmpli-
-
.f

W.If Buchanan Z/Z^fZZ -3

the hlack r&ce could also do; that the white race had built the

present groat ernplree from the fall of other empiiee; that there

were now rivals in raoa and rivals in nations, and that while the

colored people had heon slaves in the past, the negro himself was

responsible for his present inferior position, and if they vdshed !

to go on being called apes, monkeys, missing links and niggers.

It was up to them, but the time had come when they should rise from

slavery, both economic and industrial; that one of the great handica;js

of the colored race has been its inability to know itself and its
i

powers; that the new negro has discovered that he is a man, a lord

of creation, recognising no niaster ezcept God; that the whi-ie race

should not be blamed as long as the negro submitted to his present

treatment. Ha stated that the white race had built their greatest

empires in Europe and America, and that it was now hard getting them

out or getting eauality; that Americans were prejudiced against the

negro, not because he was black, but because of his condition^

that the Japs were disliked, but respected, because of their condition

that England was feared but loved because of her condition; that

both of these nations had hundreds of battleships, battle cruisers

and troops, and nothing happens to the 3nglish or Japs, but everything

to the negroes. Therefore, he stated, it was up to the negro to

l^Jprove his position socially and politically, because a race with

nothing could expect nothing. He then related some American

history, from the landing of the pilgrims, referring to the war


1 W.L.Bachanan 2/24/22 '4:

-
1
•with Great Britaia lor independence of the colonies, citing

•Washington, etc., further saying that the world would only

recognize the colored people nflien they had an African Commonwealth

of their cm; that in -ifrica, almost every large nation, except

the United States, had possessions; that Africa was the motherland

of the negro and they should take possession of it, and huild

the greatest empire on the face of the earth.

In connection with these remarks, Garvey referred

to the return of the Jevra to Palestine, of the nationalistic

movement in India and Sgypt, the Irish '^'ree State, and said if

It was right for the Caucasians to rule and govern 3urope, for the

yellow races to rule and govern Asia, that it then was equally

right and proper for the black race to rule and govern Africa. _

He added that this was the psychological time to strike; that the
i

negro did not wish anything but peace and friendly relations with i

their v;hite "brethsen; that the training which the n^ro troops I

had received in Europe would he of much value to them in Africa.


He closed his address abruptly, stating that he had received an

nrgent call somer/here else. ,.

Agent afterwards learned that he. went to Hew Tork

City, althou?:h he was to remain in Buffalo until Monday night.

February 20th.

It may be well to include in this report that

W.L.Buchanan ZfZ^/ZZ

President, Alfred A, Boyldln, stated in Ms remarks that in his

belief, the Washington disarmament conference was not called for

peace purposes, but was called for the sole purpose of disarming

Japan, as the white nations realized that they were unsafe as long

as the colored, or yellow/, races ware as strong as Japan, and the

white races also realised that another war among themselves would

give the colored races, including yellowy, the upper hand in the

tmi verse

Agent again attended a meeting on Honday ni^t, February 20th",

«nd a talagran was read purporting to come from GAHY3Y in Hew Yoriz,
i

stating that it was impossible for him to be present, but he would

bo present to speak on Ihiesday, February 21st.

LADY H3KHIETTA VIiJ?OiI DAVIS addressed the meeting on

Tuesday night, and after eulogizing GARTIilY talked along lines

Blmllar to GA373Y's the night previous. She stated that GA3V:Hrf

was 54 years' old; Jhat he was born in St. Ann's parish, Jamaica,

ffest Indies; that he had studied in several colleges and had

travelled around the world; that he was a second Douglas, an"'

emancipator; that he aarae to Hew York about four and one-half yee-rs

ago, and after spesidj3g on the streets of Hew York, where he

commanded much attention, he organised the Uni-versal Xlegro Improve-

ment Aiisociation, and African Communities League, in Lafayette Hril,

in iJaiv York City, beginning with thirteen members., and that t!


W.L.Buchanan z/Z4:/ZZ

organization had extended around the world, and now had 4,000,000

members. She is the national Organizer for the association, and

is a very eloquent speaKer. She also stated that there was an

Sgyptian in Sew York City at the present time whom GA5V1T met in

2arope, and he was now worklfig with the Universal fiegro Improvement

Association for the freedom of India.

GAHVKY returned to Biijffalo on Tuesday night,

a copy 63 attached. I'isa Campbell extjxesses her willingness to


assist the Goveri:iiient to the eiitent of her knowledge and ability,

but declines to be Called as a v.ltneas, stating that ahe fears


for her pergonal safeiy. iio threats have oeen t3de to her, th*e

fear beinR based mainly upon v;h£it she believes might hanpen should

she testify against Uarcus Garvey. She states Uarvey has roused

his follDivers to such a pitch that they vdll do most anything at

his mere intiniation. This was illustrated in the case of O.U. -

i'hompson, who has been branded as a "traitor" and who, since

uarvey's attack upon him has bo en visited several times end threat-

ened v;ith bodily barn to such a degree that he has been forued to

rer.ove hin::=el.f^ and fa:::ily to another loart of the city. In this.

'

Davis, of the I^er? Yori office, dated Ilirch 10, -1922, under the fol-

lov7lns caption: "U. 3- V3. BLiCi: STAH LIITH, Inc.,- Violation Section

215, U- S. C.C.- Usine: T^ils to Defraud" '— in vrhich it vras suggested

that one CILU-i^S D. m?.SEA.LL, 1S38 3. Uadison Street, Baltimore,

lid.-, ce interviewed relative to stocl: held tj him in the "Blac^ Star

iino Co., Inc*", \7ith the viev; of establishing certain facts, the

officers of said corporation heir^ under indictment at the present

time in the federal court at Kevr Yori: City.

Pursuant to instructions received from Special Agent in

Charge rcKecn, I proceeded to the home of CHARI,:33 D. LIAHSHALL. -

1553 3- Iladison 3treet, Baltimore, and in an interview vrith him

obtained the follo-.ving information: He is a native of St. Lucia,

conducts a barber shop at 801 II. Bond St., Baltimore, ^d. LIVHSR^LL

j
Uadison St. somatiiMo b^t-veen Feb. 2^nd and 26th, 1922, an entrance

\ to the preniises having been forced. MABSHAll further stated that

! he is a nember of the "Universal llegro Improvement Association" and

"Albican Conmunities League", and that in this connection he became .

Interested in the "Black Star line Ct., Inc., an auxiliary company


. foTined for the purpose of putting on the high seas negro owned and

: negro manned ships to Dly particularly betv/aen th.e United States,

j
the V.'est Indies, and Africa. He informed me that he purchased. 10

I
shares of sloci: -Of the "Black Ster Line Co., Inc." at $5 a share but

I could not recall the date of purchase. He remembers having for-

I
Warded to the home company of said* "Black Star Line Co., Inc." a

I
money order for JlO v;ith application for the purchase of this stock,

follo'.ving sa^e latex v/ith a paynieut by v.onQ-;; order of $40 v/ithin a

period of 60 days. His receipts for the payment of the "Black Star

Line Co., Inc." stock v;ere in the same envelop with his certificate

of stock, therefore dates could not be ascertained. In my inter-

vie'.v with c:i\PJ.::3 D. TAKSrlALL he impressed me as being an enthu-

siastic worker in the behalf of the negro race in connection ^vith

the "Universal Uegro Iraprover.ent laiiociation" and African CcrT-runitlc^

League", and seemed to be well informed as to the work being done

by said associations and its officers, who are:

CHAIXB3 D. ILYKSHAIiX expressed himself as being entirely

satisfied '.Tith his purchase of ten shares of stock of the "Blaok

Star Line Co., Inc., the auxiliary company, and seemed confident

that everything would lie all right. He vjas unable to furnish me

copies of circulars a^pd other literature in his possession, due to

the fact that all papers in this connection uers tuclrsd av^ay in tha

envelop T;hich was stolen,

I am sending with the Ne^ York copy of this report a

the country would O.K. same; Thomyson never did purchase a ship

although he did attempt to biiy the steaaship Orien but the sale was

held up by the U.S. Shipping Board because the Black Star line cou5id

not furnish the proper bond. Thonpson stated that no one could

buy anything or contract any bill no natter how small ujiless 'Vilfred

Smith first O.Ked it. Agent*3 reason for again interviewing .honpson

"overthrowing the CjOvernL-ent ". He does not telieve that president

Hard irg :::eens the negro race any good. He denounced Congress, "both

Republican and Dei:io;;ra.ti 3 parties, in fact denounced everything in

general, and finally rejonr-enied to ne tre vSooialist party, which he

suggested I ;]oin. He also infGr:::£d ne that DH. KOILJUID of

me that the U.IT.I.A. ie striving to line up every real negro ard also j

every negro churoh, behird the society. The ulti^iate purpo^ft beicg. I

to gain sufficient ix-i^ers so that they can turn their attention to the

spOke of "getting their ariaa i-eady" aiii while I presume* of course,

he referred to fire arcs, he did not continue on this line, but


sv/itchea the conversation to the o calng convention suggesting that

I attend it so that I n^y obtain a*clearer Idea cf the objects of

this society. ?CRD however, as previously reported, is an enemy

of GAH72Y* end he told ne in his opinion, the society 1.7III never be

aDle to acGoiTiplish it^s ai:::^ until QJJlYl^y: is dethroned. GAHVSY,

he states, caters too i-"ach to the ''^est Indian negroes , and FORP

states that -tht negroes will never acooirrpliFh anything in this

ocuntrj- T^ithout tiie full support of the AL-erican negro.

I interviewed several othsr people during the ocurse of

to have any inf oraiation in ^thich this departn^ent X70uld be interested.

Kr. Preaidc-nt, Meinbers and Friends of the


Universal r.c^^ro Improv-'j-^eiit Aar.ociat^on:

Once more it becomes rrrj •plcT.ir.xr^


to say a fev; v.orda to you of uho rrre^t work v;e ?are enz'-^zed in knov;n as thv
Universal ller-ro Inprovo,-ent Association. '7e who 'r.al:e up Lhi3 organizatlo;.
represent a 1yr-~ or a cl^.ss v.lthin our race pconeased of faltli and confi-
dence in self. L:)okinj, at trunks as they are v.'o realize that the world
in v;:uoh v;e live is r/cout to reconctruct, to reor3ani2e itself. Hu;n.'"-nl ty
every.vhere are en^r.-ied in the process' of reorsanization, reconstruction.
Out of tho chaos of v:orldly thinr;3 of hu"?.n affairs the different rajes
and nations expect to build up a'nev; civilization of their .p'^n, v.-hether
they be Irish, Ethiopian, Indian, Je;v, Rusaian, ?rench, Hln^lish or
American, each jrou:; i see>in2 in tuis reconstruction, in tnis reor^-an-
::

Ization to bulla a civilization all its own, V/e who r:ake up the Univerca^
Negro Improvement Association believe that the time has also come for the
Negro to build, to cons^,ruct a civilization of his ov.'n. (Applause)
There are those -vho say our one desire is to destruct ana destroy,
but those of us who nalie uo the r.'e."ro i::;prove:jent Ac^soci^tion lacli ic-itl-;
and confidence in the treatment that has been ^iven us for tne last 3C0
years, we have no more faith and confidence in the other man's civiliza-
tion, in the ot^hor roan's probation of human love and brotherhood because
of the hypocrisy of it for over 300 years. V.'e are ther-*^fore looking to
ourselves, to our ov.n efforts to build a civiliza-^ion cf our own; (Applaus
to re-educate ourselves, because we are not yet properly educated,

IfVe have been inoculated v/ith r.he other fellow's propa£;anda--not


educated, only Inoculated oy the otner lellow for his own convenience, to
suit his own purpose; and for 3OC years we have been slaves to this other
fellow's propa3anda--the propa^-anda that teaches us that tiiere is a
superior race and an ml'erior race. The Universal :-!r;;ro Improvement
Association refuses such an education, rejects such propaganda. The
new education that we support is the education of hu/na^ equality, and
for that, the organization that I represent is striving, is Btrug-sli'-ij
day by day. V.'e have been strus^lir:" for four and a half years to cc.rry
this new education to tne 4C'O,CO0^CCO Ile.^roes of the world. This new
education teacnes liberty, it la a new education industrially, socially
and religiously. This new education industrially teaches us that the
Negro must depend on his ov.-n sweat and manhood if he is to survive;
this new education socially teaches the Negro that Deauty is in his
own eye, that the ICegro.is as goocL socially as any otner race in the
world. (Applause) This new education religiously teaches -us that tn.cre
*is but on^ God who has no rcj*hpect of color. The old propaganda taught
us that socially the white man was supposed to bo the acme of hiuaan
porfoctlon, Laat the wnite man was supposed to oo* the Lord of induist*'/.
Religiously, we were taught that v.c had a wnj.te God and a biacl: duvil.
TiVe of the Universal Ilc.'.ro improvc;:iOnt Association are oojectlng to ih.'it
propaganda; we know that the God we worship has no respect of person,
and ii" one race is going to !:ia:ce him white, we are ^olnr, to make lain
my God could not look like anyboay buc like me.

The Universal Irzprovenient Ac3oci:ttion is enri-^edln the develop::: ont


of a new educ'-tlon, a nev? cul^ur-e. "'e are trytnc to unite all the
JJe^roes of the v;orld into one r,^^3.t, glorious body, n'e are endeavoring

You vail be able to sau^^e our cuccess \':aen I tell you th?.t four and a

Today v.e have tne roverniiients of Zurone and the roverr.-ent of the
United States trej::blin~ m
tneir bhoes as to tne outcome of the i^egro
Xnprovement A.^soci a ti on.

In four and a half years ^ve have changed the v.orld' s opinion as
far as the !'e-;;;ro roes. Cnce it was sa^d tnat tne '/ejvro was sleeping,
today they are afraid o It- the ^lenro, especially the ones who v/ear the
red, clack and ^v-ep^rx, oecause taey realize that he is a nev/ man, Cnce
upon a Lx.jt ere typi.ied a^ tne Uncle Ton l^esro v.ho v;cnt hat in
V.--3 v.-

hand v/ith shaking knees, looking up to the master; but tod:iy turouGsh
the v;ork of tne univex-sal Ile^ro Iirprovement Association, everybody
feels, v.hether he be ZnGiisn, rronch* 3erman or '.vnite A-merican, that
a nev; opinlDn must be ror^^ed of the ne-A- !;ei;;ro. Today r;e have many
of the governments of Europe very much concerned about their actions
and attitude tov/ard tne ::e^ro race. Once upon a time nobody v;ould pay
any attention to whatever che Ile^ro L-aid, ..hrtner in his cnurch or in
his club roon] or society nail, oecause everybody kncv; t:iere v;as not
anything behind it. Do you not know that we have for many ^ears been
sending up petitions and prayers to American assemblies--v."e have been
meeting in mass meetings ana making protests against our treatment, out
the Ydiite man has never paid any attention to our prayers or petitions
and could not r,-aste t.^'me to hear our protests from our r.ass meetings.
Prayers aid not reach aim at all. So xong as we resorted to these
methods, so Ion:-, as h^^ .^ncv; vre v<ero acting in t:iat way, he was quite
all ri^ht in acting .in his belief that he could pay no attention to
the ilegro.

But whc'n the Universal Io»gro improvement Acsociivtion adopted a


new progrnm o: not r/^liing "T.za meetings for protests, not begging
anybody for a -chance, cut doci:iring to the world tnat we were going
to take a cnc.nve, tnat somebo-.ly in going, to die, then tr:o v,hole \-:orl^

Europe, Asia, Canada, everywhere the color of U3 affects us because
of our condition and v;e wiil never be able to change tnis v."orld feeling

r
For fifty years we have oeen trying to better our condition as
people in /derica ana v.-e lin^v; "che result, you see the condition today.
\ie tnerefore have ziade a study of the cuestion, of the pr^blera, an
interna .ional stuly and we find that Kec^roee are abused, -altreated
and ill-treated everywhere because IJegroes a.re disunited. Therefore
we say if American Ke^roes are suffering fron a coiiiiion malady, if
V/est India I.'erroes are suffering froD a co:ur:on nalady, if African
Ne-^roes are suifrrin^r ^z'ro" a cozr.on nalaiiy, it is our duty to cone
together ana create .a union that v.dll relieve us of thds connon malady
fro.:i wnich we are afflicted, hence the birt::i of the Uiiiversal Ile^ro
Improver:ent Association,

How nuch we have done is tol3. by the number of branches we have


established all over the v-orld. Therefore you ;vill realize that this
nuz:ber represents a strength and force never known by I.'erroes bei'ore,
a force tiiat must be reco^^.'ilzed by governzi'-.'nts and e:::pires. Two years
a~o thoy elected -e as Lhe first provisioned president of Africa, I can
not say why they ^ave ne such a position bi.t I suppose it was because
they s:.w zie with shouliers very broad and ^hou^ht 1 could measure up
to the burdens tnat such a position v,-oula .".nflict upon such a person

that Garvey seemed to have the upper hand.

at 455 Lenox Avenue, who stated that the only thing left for the nogro iz

inercial business to the 'Vest Indies and by so doing they would then "r.-ivo

a way to the gold fields; but, tha^ Garvey chansed their pLans by going

over to th-3 Zu iclux ::ian in order to nvike it so disagreeable for the

Southern negro thr.t he cannot live in the South or in the Porth and by

those methods the nogro will have to go into 30.r:e othar country. 7ord

August 3r6 : loday I again attended the convention, i'irst hosi-

ness of the day viv.s the trial of Surgeon General J- D. Gibson on the

ground that be was incompetent and disloyal to the organization. LlarcUE

Garvey v/as called to the stsind and stated th5,t Gibson T/as dishonest, dis-

loya3 and arrogant and that Gibson had never shov/n him any papers to

prove th^^t he was a doctor of mecicine. Garvey was asked v/hat caused hi:

to feel that Gibson was disloyal, ^i'nen Garvey was questioned further he

Was unable to state any specific case wherein Gibson had shovm disloyal t;

but stated that he had heard that Gibson was disloyal and he added that

Gibson was no good sad v;as not '."orth fifteen cents. Several other v.it-

nesses v;ere called to the st^nd to testify again Gibson, but none could

state th?t they h^d seen or heard of Gibson stealing any money or goods

from the II, 1^. I. A.

At 2:00 P.i.I. Gibson was cal3.ec to the stand and among other

things he said that his Balary V^aB e>&,50(^ a year, but th? t he ho-d only
«

been paid i;400^.of this anount; that he had to mortgage- his home to get

money to get f on Chicago and that Garvey v/ould not pay him-
. He st£:ted

that during the nine weeks he v/as in Uhicago he only received v5b and

that he v/.xs practically starving c^nd had lent the Block Star Line thous-

ands of dollars, but cou3d not get any money from the organisation.

Several ^v5tne^5ses wo^e ]put on in Gibson's behclf , some from Chicago, long

Branch, Atl.^ntic Cit;/, Ucvi Orleans and Indi^ina. They stated that Gibson

J. C. , iustin of ^ittsbtirgh also spoke aiid said that he was a friena. of

Garve^'- and v/ould back hini up, but that he had no good v;ill for the ::a

ZlviX ::Lan. .He advised all the meTiOers to pull together and not fi^ht

a^on^' thomselves and to keep their secrets to ther:selve£ so that v/hen

they get rea.?.;: to do anything, no one v;ould vnov; about it. tDhare v;era

the leading preachor:-; of Harlem during the day regarding the action of

Hev. J, C. Austin in taking part in the program of tho U. II. I- A* and

they all v^^ore of the opinion that ho should not havo done so and was

Au-*uet Icth: I this uornii/f att'ended the early session where
: \

the subject i'or cliLScussion was continued frou the evening' helore end cot;-l

siderable time v;a3 given u.: to discussing, the aififirs of the -ilack 3t;;r

Line. In answer to a auestion by one of the delegates as to the nu:;ber

of shares that h^a been sold, the statement was rnade that one hundre^. am
eighty-five thousand (185, CCO} had been sold and paid for at five C'.ollai\

(v5) a shere. It v;as also stated that, in order to settle u-o v/ith the

shareholders, aoout nine hundred am thirty thousand dollars {^,9oO,^CO}

Vvould have to be raised and at present there is no money on hand. One

delegate su^f.estod that the only thinR to do is to start the ^Is.ci: itsr

;
Line .i-gain and then sell forty per cent uf the stock to the Japar^se

which would give the Line a footing with that power an:", that the Japane^ic:

v/ould see that the Line did not fail. Another said, that if disgrace

av.eited thooe who had heen dishonest in coniiecticu with the Line, the

seoner it was found out the better it would be so that the dishone:."t ^ne^

night be shown u;:. iifter the session was over I hau. a tal/- with J. d.

Le 3ory, lOc- ".Vest l-iSth St. He stilted that when the Phyllis .Vhoatley w£!^

about to 09 DL;ught he hc.'-v a satchel of pape.s reaay to go to the other


side and put out ai:ionp. the powers, uut Garvey prevented his going. he

also sail, that; the U. U, I. A. owed nim fifteen DonthD pay at the r^^te

of five hu.idreo. dollars i..,bOO) a month and had not paid hiia a collar, env-

that now Garvey, in order to avoio pay^ient, was trying to get rid oi him

on the ground that he was too old, 'j^his man is a delegate to the convc-n-

tion fro::i Jariaica. I also h\\a a t:.uJ: with liT, J. H. iJird, a physici;-!! oi

Brov;n of 145 V/est i;3l3t St., who is pastor of the Uetropolitan .iapti^t

Church, spoi:e and said, nniong other things, thut iiarcxia Garvey waa "A

God-sent leccior'' ana advised Gr.rvQy to pay no attention to the peoplu

v;ho criticisec^ hiu ao ti*y did not amount to anything. Kev, J. C. Aus-

tin of ;^itts"bur^-h, one of the speakery, told the delegates to stop inal:-

ing false statements and to be sure that' they v;ould be able to prove any

such statements that they uight make. He also sali, that there will ue

no chsnce for sn^QOiiy today to go to Africa' end break friendship v;lth

this government, adding that a person could not leave on any ship v/ithou

a pasoport anu. that the passports v;ould have to be gotten fror;; the whit-:;-

man; also that tney could not get favors from the v;hite man ano. hit hii::

in the' face at the same tine. Ee then asked his audience what ^ny of

then v/ould do with Africa &t this n:o::ient and oaid that thsy he^ a long

way to travel before they would be able to hanale Africa. He a-vised

that the firbt thing to do is to outain holding of large tracts of lana

in that country, establish factories, mills, etc., teach the yuuag L:e;i

and v;or.en £r.d after having accor.-nli£ hec. this it v.'ould then be tine enjur

to nake a dash for Jifrica.. It v:as evident t'nat Garvey't. frienu-did not i

like the tone of Auntin'i speech and Austin eaid, he was only f^llinr t'':t.

truth. Gr-rvey then stuted that he v/ould subr_.it his report on 'fhur^^aay.

stated thi.t Garvey would ue able to pay the :::en who would conduct the

Sep tenter 1: ' r-

This morning I i^ttenaed the U, II. I. A. convention


at IIBaRTY Hill* and was there engaged until the afternoon, all the
tlr^e "being taken up "by the delegates in malcing amendmoi ts to the

constitution. I unaer5te,nd that most of the delegates have sold

their stocl: In the BLACl" ST.^ 37?:.U:3Hrp CO., and therefore have no

clsirn against the BL-'^CK STJJ'. LII!". ^'hsy have sold the stock to the

U. i:. I. A.

At the night opening, the installr:ent of officers took


place an3 a charge of 50^ admission was made at the door, the attend-

ance teing ahout 1,0C0.

0. A. VfKLTU.:3 of Oknulgee, Okla., said that it was

his intention on his return horze , to advise ull memhors of the U.IJ.I.A.

in his vicinity to get out of the organization, as they v;are merely

w^asting tirr.e.

Septerr.her £ :

This morning Sirii:KY deBOUI^G called to see me and

said, among other things, that he

T/as willing to go to the offices of

the J^epartment of justi co and tell

everything ho knew ahout I:a?.GU3

GAHTCY. Later I attenaea the conve-ntion at IIBKHTY HAiL, most of
the day "being spent by the delegates In amending the constitution,

ana receiving reports. In the report on the liherian situation it

was reconimsnded th^t secret dalogates be sent there for tho purpose

of going over everything and learning what could be done in that

country, it v/aa pointed out that this was the best way to go about
the matter as, if business ;vas transacted, the United States "Govern-

ment v/ould not knov; T7hat was going on.

2he scheme of ta^-zing over the BLACK S7XR XTC seems


to be v^ry much against the wishes of the stockholders, as they cl^iiir.

that the U. IJ. I. A, is not able to secure the BLACZ 3T.\3^ 1II3,
as the V» "- I. A. is in practically the sane fiz as the BLACK:

STAH Iir^; financially, and the notes given by the u. 11. I. A. would

be of pr actically no value.

Everybody about the convention seems to be very much


dis-S2< tlsfied '.vith the management of GAHVrTY. ^t the conclusion

about 5:00 P. t:., GXR'T^Y said he was going to leave ne-.v York on the
following »^unday morning, an3 sooie menbers seemed to think that ho

v;as ready to leave the country because of his former v/ife's proposed

visit to this count^-*.

D. E-. T0i.I''-.3, another speaker said that in his opinion

i'oriner High Chancellor G. K. STE'JART called to see

me again today, "but I learned nothing of value from him.

September 4,1922 :

2his morning JOHII SIDIIrTY de'iOUHG!-, "est Indian leader

of the u. II. !• i... v/ho lives at ,r214 "-'. 40th Street, called to see

me and tola me about having been imprisoned in Santa Domingo and

left v;ith mc a copy of a letter which he had vnritten to the Secretary

of Sta te on July 17th, 1922. '^he letter stated that deBOUHG felt

that he v;as a "bron ^-^merican negro" and after complaining of the

treatment he had received at the iTands of the -American soldiers at

Santa Domingo, stated that he thought he v;as entitled to money con-

sideration for the sufferings he had endured. Copy of this letter

is attached to the '"'ashingto n ccpy of this report. De30URG again

repeated what he had i^lready told ir.e about having sold stock: of the

BliVCIC S?,\R II::H in ^anta -i^omingo. Ke also stated that the woman

whom 0."^T:rf recently married had practically forced him to do so,

as she Icnev; so much about him. Ho said also that that 0-i3.Tr:V S

present v/ifo hid bought several homes in Jamaica and that G.\3^ni:Y had

also bought a find home there. 7;hGn questioned by me as to v/hether

to Includo tho not T.'crth ci all tho brnnchss of the Univer-

I ifant also to call tho attention of tho honorable


dole^:it9s to tho in^portint fact that the parent body has
C other incomo but nhat Is paid bj the branches to its
treasurer, and r;h6n the br£.cches fail to caiatain their
oblt£:ations or fr.il to Iceep up their payz:ent3-. the parent
body receives nothing*

T mat also to bric,^ to the attention of the honor-


able dslefratos that it is irr.portant for the presidents of
ths variouG br?."che5 to devise- rrieans cjf.d ^.'ays by 7,'hich
thsy cr.n collect auas iin^ death tax froa the largest numbor
of r^oriiicers in_ their branches.

The Secretary Goneral^s report £hov;s a large rier.ber-


Shlp throughout tho -world, but I have foun3 that only e.
portion of tns corabership is finsmcially connected v/ith
the pc^ent body.

In conclu:^io:i I trant to state that c-.Ting to the


ecorior.ic ccndi-.ior: of ther:orld at this tir:9, ani espec-
ially of cur recyle, it ia ry cr}inioa that the yecj:

The accour tant*3 rerort r.-ill shovf that, lil:e the "Yarraouth," this

make ncncy on the propocition, but the facts speaic' for thorsolves.
Closely follo;/infr the acquirement of the "Shadyaide",
Garvey, on liaylst, ll/l^O, announced that the line was about to launch

Hon, Harry E. Dawgherty


United States Attorney General
Department of Justice
Washington, D. C.

Dear Sir:

As the chief lav/ enforcecient officer of the Uation, we wish


to call your attention to a heretofore unconsidered menace to
harmonious race relationships. There are in our midst certain
Kegro criminals and potential murderers both foreign and ATi:9ricar
,

born, 7;ho ars r>:oved and actuated by intense hatred against the
white race. These undesirables continually proclaim that all
white people are enemies to the Negro, They have become so fan-
atical that they have threatened and attempted the death of their
opponents, actually assassinating in one instance.

The movement knc7;n as the Universal iregrc Improven:ent


Association has done n-.uch to stimulate the violent temper of this
dangerous elerr-ent. Its president and moving spirit is one Marcus
Garvey, a ITegro from Jamaica, British 7/est Indies, not a citizen
of the United States, and an unscrupulous demagogue v/ho has cease^
lessly and assiduously sought to spread among Ilegroes distrust
and hatred of all white people.

The official organ of the U. 1^, I, A., "The Ve^^ro World," of


which Marcua Garvey is Managing Editor sedulously and continu-
,

ally seeks to undermine the loi'alty of all llegroes to this couiitr


and to arouse antipathy towards v/hites. Evidence has also been
presented of an aprarent alliance of Garvey with the Ku E:1ux Elan
y
An erroneous conception held by many is that ITegrocs try to
cloak and hide their criminals. The truth is that decent ITegroes
are bitterdy opposed to all criminals and especially to those cf
their own race, because they know that such criminals will cause
increased discrimination against them.

The U. ?>T. I. A. is composed chiefly of the most primitive


and ignorant element of \7Gst Indian and American ITcgroes. The
so-called respectable olerr.ent of the m.ovemcnt are largely minis-
tera witliout :.^hv,rchcs pliysiciar.s without patlcr^.Ls, lav.yors with-
,

out clier.tr. :^n:l p-jhllchrrr:


-.v: tlicut readers, who are usually in
search of "ca::y money." In short, this organisation is composed
in the r.:a]r. of ^Ir^c^''^ sharks nv.l ignorant JTcgro frmatics.
Thin or~aai::.ati on and ito leader, Marcus Garvey, encourage
violence. In ito Constitution there is an article prohi'biting
office Inolainc t-y n conviotcd criminal, E:CCE?T SUCH CRIME IS^
C0u\llT-2D 111 TiS IITTERSST OP TH3 U. 11, I. A, i-arcvxG Garvey fs in-
tolerant of free spcecli v.'hen it is exercised in criticism of him
ar.cl hi^. niovemcnt, seeking to prevent cuch by threats and violence.
Strilcing proof of tho truth of this assertion is found in the
follo7/ing cases:

In 1920 Garvey's supporters rushed into a tent where a re-


licious meeting /-as being conducted by Kev. A, Clayton Pov/ell In
Kev; York City and sought to do bodily violence to Dr. Chas, S.
Morris, tke speaker of the evening —who they had heard vzas to
make an address against Gai"veyisE:--and "rcere prevented only by the
action of the police. Shortly af te\-\7ards members of the Baltimore
brancli of the U. IT. I. A. attempted bodily injury to V/. Ashbie
Ha77kiris, one of the xcst diE^ingulshed colored attorneys in Amer-
ica, ".'hen he crixicised Garvey in a speech. During the same per-
iod an Anti-Qarvey meeting held by Cyril Brings, then editor of
a monthly uagazine, The Crusader, —in Kush Homorial church, IJev/
York City, on a S^inday evsning--\7as broken up oy Garveyites turn-
ing out the lights.

Several v/soks ago the Gs^rvej division in Philadelphia- caused


such a distv.rbance in the Salsni Baptist church v;here Attorney J.
Austin Hcrris a graduate of Yale Universitj', and the Hev. J. W. H.
EaBon, v;ere cpeaking against Garvey that the police disbanded the
meeting to prevent a riot and bloodshed. Reports state the street
in frc>:t of the church vjas blocked by GarvG;;ites v/ho insulted and
knocked acTrn pedestrians vrho were on their ivay to the meeting.

In Los Angeles, Cal. llr. Mcah D, Thompson, a distinguished


,

colored citizon of the.t city, employed in the editorial dopartn:snt


of the Los Ai'.gsloo Daily "Er-'-oreGS," reporting adversely on the
Garvey r.oveu.cnt as a result of his vioit to the annual convention,
was attac;ked by :r,e;r.bers of Garvey's Los Angelas division, v;ho, it
is alleged, had been incited to violence by Garvey himself, and
only through tho help of a large number of" police officers v/as
Thompson saved zrcrd bodily harm.

A fev; months ago v;hcn some persons in the Cleveland, Ohio,


division of the U. :K I. A. asked Dr. LeRoy Bundy, Garvey's chief
.

assistant, for an accounting of funds, a veritable riot took x>Iace,


led, accordir.g to the Pittsburg "American,*' by Bundy himself.

In Pittcburg, Pa,, on October. 25d, last, after seeking to


disturb a meeting conducted by Chandler G;ven, Editor of The
Messenger 'Magazine, Garveyites v/ho had lurked around t>ie corner in
a body, ru::l:'-d on the strc:^t car after the ji.ceting, seeking, to as-
sault him, L'ut wore prevented vy the interraption of the police.
3—
When Wllllan Pickons, who had cooperated In an expose of the
Garvey frauds, v/as to deliver an address in Toronto, Canada,,
Garveyites met him on the stops of the church with hands threat-
eningly on their hip-pockets, trying to intimidate him, lest he
should further expose that movement.

In Chicago, after seeking to "break up an Antl-Garvey meeting,


a Garvey supporter shot a policeman vjho sought to prevent him from
attacking the speaker as he left the huilding.

In Ne-w York last 'August during a series of meetings conducted


hy the Friends of ITegro Freedom to expose Garvey's schemes and
methods, the speakers were threatened vrith death. Scores of Gar-
veyites came into the meetings with the avowed intention of
"breaking them up. This they v/ere prevented from doing by the
stern aetenaination on the part of the leaders, the activity of the
Kev; York police and the great mass of V7est Indians and Americans
who clearly showsl that they would not permit any cowardJLy ruffians
to break up their meetings. *

In fact, Marcus Garvey has created an organization which is


fundamentally and wilfully criminal. This is evidenced by Section
3 of Article 5, of the Constitution of the U. N. I. A., under the
caption, "Court F.eception At Home." It reads, "Ho one shall be
received by the Potentate and his Consort who has been convicted
of crims or fslony, BZ'ZCBPT SUCH CRlrfS OR FELOiTY ^AS CCILUIT^ZD IN
THE INTEREST OF TH3 mnVESSPJ^ IHGf.O I^PROVEMSI-IT ASSOCIATION: AND
THE AFRICAIT CO:.!}rJxnTIES LSAGUE. "

Further proof of this is foiind in the public utterances of


William Sherill, one of the chief officials in the organization
and Garvey's envoy to the league of ITations Assembly at Geneva.
S-Doakinc; at the Goldfield Theatre in Baltimore, Md . on August 18,
,

1922, he is quoted as saying: "BLACS: FOLS AS '^7SLL AS V/KITS V'HO


TAMPER WITH THE U. II. I. A. ARE GOIITG TO DIE."

V/hat appsara to be an attempt to carry out this threat is


seen in the assault and slashing v/ith a razor of one J*. T. Saxon,
by Garveyites, in Cincinr.atl , Ohio, when he spoke against the
movemsnt there last October.

On January 1, thin year, just after having made an address


scoring Garvey in Ilevr Orleans, the Rev. J". W. H. Eason, former
"American Leader" of the Garvey movemxnt, who had fallen out with
Garvey and was to be tho chief witness against him in the Federal
Government's case, was waylaid and assassinated, it is reported
in the press, by tho Garvoyite3. Kov. Eaaon identified two of the
men as Frederick Dy-:;r, ^12, a longchorcman and VJillicin Shakospenre,
,

2S, a painter. BoLh of thc;n arc said to be prominent members of


the U. N. I, A, in New Orleans, and are immigrp.uts from Jamaica,
B. W, I. Cr. T:a.ion's dyiu;; words, identifying the men whom ho ]:nev;
frora long acci.uaintauco in tho movement, wore:
4—
"I had been rjpoakin.:^ at Bethany and was on my way home when
three men rushed out at me jTrom an alley, I saw their faces and
(pointing at Dyer and Shakespeare) I am positive that these two
men here are two of the three." c

The vicious inclination of these alleged Garvey members is seei


in their comments in an interview:

(The II. Y. Amsterdam News reports:) "Both Dyer and Shakespeare


have denied the attack, "but declared they were glad of it as they
said Eason richl3^ deserved what he got. 'Sason, said one of them,
*

'was a sorehead. The Association made him what he was. IVhen he


was expelled "because of misconduct he v;ent up and down the country
prsG.ching against liarcus Garvey who is doing great good for our
race. Son:eone who evidently thought it was time to stop his lies
tock a crack at him. I don't blame the one that did it. Ed.son
richly deserved what he got,'"

Eason says he knew the men who shot him were directed to do
so. Insomuch, however, as the assassination of Mr. Eason removes
a federal witness, we suggest' that the Federal Goverr-ment probe
into the facts and ascertain v/nether Eason was assassinated as the
result of a.n interstate conspiracy emanating from fJew York.

Not only has this movement created friction between Negroes


and whites, but it has also increased the hostility between
American and V/est Indian Negroes.

Further, Garvey has built up an organisation which has vic-


timised horciCG of ignora.nt and unsuspecting Negroes, the nature
of 7;hich is clearly stated by Judge Jacob Panken of the New York
tiX3.nicipal Court, beforewhoni Garvey's civil suit for fi-aud was
tried. Judge Panken said: "It see-as to me that you have been
•preying upon the gullibility of your own people,, having kept no
proper accounts of the money received for investments, being an
organizp-tion of high finance in v;hich the officers received out-
rageously higli salaries '^nd v/ere permitted to have e::horbitant
expense accounts for plcacir.re ja\;nts throughout the country. I
advise tiiose 'dupes' v.-ho have ccntribuoCd to these organisations
to go into court, and ask for the appcint^'icnt of a receiver."

For th'-3 uliove reas:in" v;e advocate that the Attorney General
use his full lr.""iuenc- completely to extirpate this vicious move-
ment, and that he vigoroi.TjIy and speedily push the Government's
case agairiot :.:arou:; Garvey for using the maila to defraud. When
convicu'od v;o ur,;,. th^'.t h:: '..: ::-evr:*cly punirhe:!. This last should
bo done in the interest of justice; even as a matter of practical
exx)ed:).cncy
-

5--

The government should note that the Garvey follov/ers are for
the tr.ojt part votoles3--"being either largely unnaturalized or re-
fr-ainins from voting 'bGcaus'S Garvey teaches that they are citizen
of an African Republic. On the othor hand, hosts of citizen
votors, Tooth v/hite 3.n5. colored, earnestly desire the vigorous pro
ecution of this case.

Again, the notorious Eu Klvix Klan, an organisation of white


racial and relirious higots, has aroused much adverse sentiment,
many people derranding its dissolution, as the Reconstruction Kla
T;as dissolved. The Garvey organization, knovm as the U. II. I. A.
is just as object! onahle and even more dangerous, inasmuch as it
deals v.'ith an even lower level of cranks, crcolis and racial "bigot
among rhon sugssstibility to violent crime is rnuch greater.


ilorsover, since in its basic law the very Constitution of
the U. iT. I, A. --the organization condones and encourages crime,
its future i^^cetings should be carefully v;atched by officers of
the lav; and infractions promptly and severely punished.

Vie desire the Department of Justice to understand that those


T/hodraft this dcc;:n-;cnt, as ':7ell as the tens of thousands who V7ll
endorse It in all ps.rts of the country, are by no means impressed
by the \7idely circulated reports v.'hich allege certain colored
politicians have been trying to use their influence to get the
indictments against Garvey cuashed. The signers of this appeal
represent no particular political, religious or nationalistic
faction. They have no personal ends or partisan interests to
SGrv3. ITor are they moved by any personal bias aga.inst I^arcus
Garvey. They sound this tocsin only because they foresee the
gathering storm of race prejudice and sense the imminent menace
of this insidious movement which, cancer-like, is gnawing at the
very vitals of peace and saiety--of civic harmony and inter-racis
concord.

FACTS DEVELCPJO.

At Ilev; York, II. .

Rexerence is made to the report of Agent Harry 0.

Gulley of the IJev/ Orleans office, dated January 13th, 1923.

Heference is also made to telegram received from %ent in Charge

Shanton of IJew Orleans, dated January 20th, 1923» v;hich contained

data on one 33AU HAIJUS, formerly Srd Vice President of the Phila-

delphia -division of the U. K. T. A., who, it is alleged, v/as re-

sponsible for the shooting of DR. SASOI? recently.

Acting on the information contained in this telegram,

Agents interviev/ed various informants in this city. One of oar

informants irr^odiately telephoned to a friend of his in Philadelphia

and received a reply to the effect that infor-nation regarding the

\7hereabouts of B/aX^S will probably bo furnished by him v/ithin a

day or tfio. If this cannot be obtained, the address of his family

y;ill be furnished. .

The death of DR. EASCIJ xS but the culmination of many

.threats which have been made against Government v.ltnesses in this

case. Alliod with DR. EASOU was a woman by

the name of 133. DOROTilY L^/.VSCN,

of K-2092 lladison Avenue, Pow York

under subpoana in this case. $omo

time ago 1.:HS, LAV/SOII and her husband v;ere met on the street by

a colored man, v/ho, after drawing a revolver, threatened "both I.;?.

and JBS. TiAV/SON with death if they did not cease their attacks on
GAHTEY. This man v;as later identified and arrested and during the

trial it was learned that he was a merrther of GAKTEY'S so-called

"secret service," He is now serving a term in Staters prisan.

UR3, LAV/SOI?, within the last fev7 days has complained to

^ent Amos that she is again "being molested, the particular instance

in question having occurred on Saturday last (January 20th) when two

tinknovm men accosted her on the street* ?oday Agents interviewed

WRS. X.^.VSOII, but outside of stating that she had seen one of these

men previously around Xlberty Hall, GAKVi^IY'S headq^uarters, she could

furnish no further identification. -Agents instructed Ic^.S. LA'JSOIl

to walk through the section where GAHT5:yiT!^3 are strong, at which

time we followed her, but she was not molested, neither could she

locate either of the man; alleged to have interfered v;ith her.

Agents also interviewed CA??. JOSHUA COCKBUHIT, v/ho is

also a Government witness. He advises us that nev; threats have

been made against him. CAPT. COCKBuHI? has been previously

threatened, I'he threats against him have also come from an unknovn

source.

Agents have instructed these witnesses to endeavor to

obtain the names of persons threatening them or some identification

through which they can be picked up. V/e have instructions from

Asst. U. ^. 'Attorney Itattuok to call to his immodiato attention any

attempts to interfere with the v/itnesses in this case.

It will he extremely interesting to receive from the

Hew Orleans office copies of the documentary evidence secured in

Hew Orleans, which, as stated in their telegram, shows that G;j:VLT

sent HAinJS to Hew Orleans, and that the death of DR. EASOIJ was

the result of a deliherate plan.

It is noted that ^ent Gulley's report does not state

whether or not either of the men arrested at Kew Orleans for the

-shooting of DH. SASOK have made statements. If possible, it is

requested that the samples of the handwriting of each of these men

"bo secured and forv/arded to us so that v:e may compare same with

the handwriting on several anonymous and threatening letters re-

ceived by f^overnmect witnesses in this district.

"THE I.IUHDKI^ 0? VR, KASOIK

There are many circumstances connected vrith the '

attention of the authorities. That he was to have "Been

That he was killed, as it is alleged, hy tv.D policemen
of the Garvey association v/hom, Di'. ^ason in his ante-
mortem statement n?-m.ed as his assassins is another of
the suspicious circumstances. That this v/as a second
time, as he alle^reo in that statem.ent, that he had been
so attached since his severance of relations v/ith the
Garvey association adds to the chain of circumstantial
evidence. That this v;as only one of a series of many
offenses Elle.^ed to have "been committe'S hy the adherents
of the Universal Ilei~ro Improvement Association makes
the chain apparently complete in the case that arpaied
against the" culpaoility of the radical racial propagand-
ist, -c'or these reasons the colored citi:;ens of this
country demand that the killing of 3r. Kason be. probed
to the bottom. The murder of a Federal witness In the
face of an impend in,^ trial by the adherents of the ac-
cuSGd brinr^s the assassination properly v;ithin the pur-
view of the federal frovernment* It is now time to call
a halt to this pro.^rarii, which has re-
sulted in such widespread
dissension and discord within
the race. There is no place

rea:ret and lament the untlir.ely death of the brilliant
Eason, It v;as , however, the lo/rical conclusion of
the program and policy of the orfranizatidiTv/hich. he so
lonp end willfully supported. Those v;ho play v/ith fire
cannot complain when they are burned. There is no ex-
cuse by justification for any man of color, native born
or foreign born, professional or layman, to further
support the U.II.T.A. if these thinfrs are proven, to
which all of these damaging testimonies so conclusively
point.
There can be no question in the raina s of any
• fair-minded citizens as to the value of this organisa-
tion if these things are true. These things being true,
it must be routed out of the life of the people of this
community and this country. It is more dangerous to *
the people of color than the ITu Klux Klan. V/e have
long withheld our condemnation of the U. T. I. A,, but
forbearance at this tinie is no virtue, V/e ask the
Government to probe the dastardly rrarder of -Dr. Eason
and to prosecute the conspirators, whoever they may be,

HoJi. Harry U. Davigherty


United States Attorney General
Departrcent of Justice
Washington, D, C,

Dear Sir:

As the ctiief lav; enforcement officer of the Nation, we


wish to call yo\xr attention to a herstofora unconsidered menace to
harffionio-u3 race relationships. There are in our midst certain
Kegro criminals and potential murderers, both foreign and American
"born, v;ho are moved and actuated by intense hatred against the
white race , These -undesirables continually proclaim that all
white people are enemies to the ITegro. They have become so fan-
atical that they have threatened and attempted the death of their
opponents, actually assassinating in one instance.

The movement knovni as the Universal Negro Improvement


Association has done much to stimulate the violent temper of this
dangerous element. Its president and moving spiriu is one Uarcus
Qarvey, an unscrupulous demagogue who has ceaselessly and assid-
uously sov.ght to spread among Uegroes distrust and hatred of all
white people.

The official organ of the U. N, I. A., "The Negro World,"


of which l!arcus Garvey is Managing Editor, sedulously and contin-
ually seeks to arouse ill-feeling bet-.veen the races. Evidence
has also been presented of an apparent alliance of Garvey with
the Ku Klux Klan.

An erroneous conception held by many is that Negroes try


to cloak and hide their criminals. The truth is that the great
majority of Negroes are bitterly opposed to all criminals and
especially to those of their ov;n race, because they knovj that such
criminals will cause increased discrimination against themselves.

The U. N.-I. A. is composed chiefly of the most primitive


and ignorant element of Cest Indian and American Negroes. The
so-called respectable element of tho movement are largely minis-
ters without churches, physicians without patients, lawyers with--
out clients and publishers without readers, who are usually in
search of "easy money." In short, this organization is composed
in the main of^Ne^ro sharks rj^ ij^norant l^egroj^nati^s.
£—

This organisation and its fundamontal laws encoura^je* violence.


In its constitution thsro ic an article orohibitin^ office holding
by a convicted criminal, ECCEPr SUCH CRIIIS IS COHi.IXTTIi!D IIT TK3 IN-
TEREST 01? THj1: U. it. I. A. Marcus Garvoy is intolerant of free
speech ^hen it is exercised in criticism of him and his movement,
his follo7;oro seeUinr; to prevent Guch by threats and violence.
Strikin:; proof ox tha truth of this assertion is found in the
follo'.7ing cacea:

In 1920 Garvey's supporters rushed into a tent v/here a re-


ligious meeting v;as being conducted by Rev. A. Clayton Powell in
New York City and so*arht to do bodily violence to Dr. Chas. S.

Morris, the sr calmer of the evening who they had heard was to
make an address against Garvsyism--and xrere prevented only by the
action of the police. Shortly afterguards neabers of the Baltimore
branch of the U, IT. I. A. attempted bodily injury to V7. Ashbie
Hawkins, one of the most distinguished colored attorneys in Amer- -
ica, when lie criticised Garvey in a speech. During the same psr-
lod an Anti-Garvey meeting held by Cyril Briggs, then editor of
a monthly raagasine, The Crvisader, —in Rush Memorial church, New

York City, on a Sunday evening was brolien up by Garveyites turn-
ing out the lights*

Several weeks ago the Garvey division in Philadelphia caused


such a disturbance in the Salem Baptist church where Attorney J.
Austin ITorris, a graduate of Yale University, and the Rev. J. V/, K.
Eason, were speaking against Garvey that the police disbanded the
meeting to prevent a riot and bloodshed. Reports state the street
In front of the church was blocked by Garveyites who insulted and
knocked down pedestrians who were on their way to the meeting.

In Los Angeles, Cal,, Ur. IToah D- Thompson, a distinguished


colored citizen of that city, employed in the editorial department
of the Lcs Angeles Daily "2:i:press," reporting adversely on ths
Garvey movement as a result of his visit to the annual convention,
was attacked by members of Garvey 's Los Angeles division, who, it
is alleged, had been incited to violence by Garvey himself, and
only through the help of a large number of police officers was
Thompson saved from bodily harm.

A few months ago v/hen some persons in the Cleveland, Ohio,


division of the U. IJ. I. A. asked Dr. LeRoy Eundy, Garvey's chief
assistant, for an accoTinting of funds, a veritable riot took place,
led, according to the Pittsburg "American," by Bundy himself.

In Pittsburg, Pa., on October 23d, last, after seeking to


disturb a meeting conducted by Chandler Owen, Editor of The
Messenger llagasine, Garveyites who had lurked around the corner in
a body, rujhed on the street car after the meeting, seeking to as-
eault him, but v/ere prevented by the interruption of the police.
When William Pickens, v/ho had cooperated In the expose of the
Garvey frauds, was to deliver an address in Toronto, Canada,
Garveyiten net him on the steps of the church with hands threat-
eningly on their hip-pockets, trying to intimidate him, lest he
should further expose that movement.

In Chicago, after seeking to break up an Anti-Garvey meeting,


a Garvey supportor £5hot a policeman v;ho sought to prevent him from
attacking the speaker" as he left the building.

In Nov7 York last August during a series of meetings conducted


by the Friends of llegro Freedom to e:;cpcse Garvey 's schemes and
methods, the speakers 77ere threatened with death. Scores of Gar-
veyitss came into the ceetingc v;ith the avov/ed intention of break-
ing them up. This they were prevented from doing by the stern
determination on the part of the leaders, the activities of the
New York police and the great mass of West Indians and Americans
who clearly shov/ed that they would not permit any cowardly ruffians
to break up their meetings.

In fact, Marcus Garvey has created an organisation which in its


fundamental law condones and invit.es to crime. This is evidenced
by Section 3 of Article 5, of the Constitution of the U. N. I. A.,
under the caption, "Court Reception At Home," It reads, "No one
shall be received by the Potentate and his Consort who has been
convicted of felony, EXCEPT SUCH CRIME OR FELONY WAS COLIillTTED IH
THE INTEP^oT OF THE UMIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEISNT ASSOCIATION Aira
THE AFRICAN C0LEIUITITIE3 LEAGUE."

Further proof of this is found in the public utterances of


William Shsrrill, one of the chief officials in the organisation and
Garvey's envoy to the League of Nations Assembly at Geneva. Speak-
ing at the Goidfield Theatre in Baltimore, Md. on August 13,1922,
he is Quoted as saying: BLACK FOLZ AS V/ELL AS WHITE \7H0 TAMPER
WITH THE U. N. I. A. ARE GOING TO DIE."

What appears to be an attempt to carry out this threat is


seen in the assault and slashing v;ith a razor of one S. T. Saxon,
by Garveyitea, in Cincinnati, Ohio, when he spoke against the
movement there last October. \
u
On January 1, this year, just after having made an address in
New Orleans, the Rev, J. W. H. Eason, former "American Leader" of
the Garvey movement, who had fallen out with Garvey and was to be
the chief witness against him in the Federal Government's case,
was waylaid and assassinated, it is reported in the press, by the
Garvcyites. Rev, Eason identified two of the men as Frederick Dy^r,
42, a longshoreman, and William Shakespeare, 28, a painter. Both
of them are prominent members of the U, N. I, A. in New Orleans,
one T7earing a "badge as chief of police and the other as chief of
the fire department of the "African Hepuhlic," Dr. Eason's dying
words, identify in^j the men vrhom he knev; from long acquaintance In
the moveaent, were:

"I had been speaking at Bethany and was on my vray home vihen
three men rushed out at me from an. alley. I saw their faces and
(pointins at Dyer and Shakespeare) I am positive that these tv/o
men here are t7/o of the three."

The vicious inclination of these Garvey members is seen In


their conments in an interview:

(The H, Y. Arrsterdan JTsrs reports:) "Both Dyer and Shakespeare


have denied the attack, tut declared they Trere glad of it as they
said Eason richly deserved v;hat he got. 'Eason, 'said one of
them, *was a sorehead. The Association made him '.That he was.
When he v:as expelled because of misconduct he went up and down
the cotintry preaching against Ilarcus Garvey who is doing great
good for our race. Someone who evidently thought it was time to
Stop his lies tock a crack at hini, I don't blame the one that
did it. Eason richly deserved what he got.*"

Eason says he know the men who shot him were directed to
do 60. Insomuch, however, as the assassination of Mr. Eason re-
moves a federal witness, we suggest that the Federal Government
probe into the facts and ascertain whether Eason was assassinated
as the result of an interstate conspiracy emanating from New
York. It is significant that the U. IT. I. A. has advertised in
Its organ, "The ITegro World/' the raising of a defense fvtnd for
those indicted for the murder, seemingly in accordance with its
constitution.

Not only has this movement created friction between Negroes*


and whites, but it has also increased the hostility between
American and VTest Indian l^e^roes.

Further, Garvey has built up an organization which has vic-


timized hordes of ignorant and unsuspecting Uegroes, the nature
of which is clearly stated oy Judge Jacob Panken of the Ns'.v York
Municipal Court, before whom Garvey 'a civil suit for fraud was
tried. Judge Panken said: "It seems to me that you have been
preying upon the gullibility of your own people, having kept no
proper accounts of xhe money received for investments, being an
organization of high finance in which the officers received out-
rageously high salaries and were permitted to have exhorbitant
expense accovmts for pleasure jaunts throughout the. country, I
adviso those *dupcs who have contributed to these organizations
*

to go into court and ask for tho appointment of a receiver."

7 •- -- -
' -

For the above reasons 770 advocate that the Attorney Gcfneral
us© his full influsnce completely to disband and extirpate this
vicious movement, and that he vigorously and speedily push the
Government's case against Marcus Garvey for using the mails to
defraud. This should be done in the interest of justice; even as
a matter of practical expediency.

The Government should note that the Garvey followers are for

the most 'cart voteless being cither largely unnaturalized or re-
fraining from voting -because Garvey teaches that they are citizens
of an African Republic, He has f;!:reatly e::aggerated the actvial
membership of his organisation, 77hich is conservatively estiratad
to be much less than 20,000 in all countries, including the United
States and Africa, the west Indies, Central and South America.
(The analysis of Garvey's r:o:nfcership has been made by W. A.
Domingo, a highly intelligent \7est Indian from Jamaica, Garvey's
home, in "The Crusader" magazine, Nev7 Yorlc City; also by Dr,
V7. E. B. DuBois, a vrell knc7;n social statistician, in "The Century
Magazine," February, 1923, lle^ York City), On the other hand,
hosts of citizen voters, native born and naturalized, both white
and colored, earnestly desire the vigorous prosecution of this
case.

Again, the notorious Eu Klux Elan, an organization of white


racial and religious bigots, has aroused much adverse sentiment,
many people demanding its dissolution, as the Reconstruction 21an
was dissolved. The Garvey organization, Icnown as the U, N. I. A,,
Is just as objectionable and even more dangerous, inasmuch as it
naturally attracts an even Icvrer type of cranks, crooks and racial
bigots among whom suggestibility to violent crime is much greater.


Moreover, since in its basic law the very Constitvition of
the U, JT. I, A. --the organization condones and encourages crime,
its future meetings should be carefully vratched by officers of the
law and infractions promptly and severely punished.

We desire the Department of Justice to understand that those


who draft this docuj!:ent, as -vrell as the tens of thousands v;ho Tiill
endorse it in all parts of the country, are by no means impressed
by the widely circulated reports vrhich allege certain colored
politicians have been trying to use their influence to get the
Indictments against Garvey quashed. The signers of this appeal
represent no particular political, religious or nationalistic
faction. Thoy havo no personal ends or partisan interests to
serve. Nor are they moved by any personal bias against Marcus
Garvey, They sound this tocsin only because they foresee the
gathering storm of race prejudice and sense the imminent monace
of this insidious novement which, cancer-like, is gnawing at the

very vitals of peace and safety of civio harmony and inter-racial
oonoord. r

Sir:

Aftsr a conf-^rpfice with agent Harry uuil*y,I proc*?d»d


to Inv-^stlgats tn« caso assigned to ni? undor cover. I have

Interviewed S.V.P.oblason and his wife r;ho at one time were

the organizers for the Universal llegro larrovsment Association

in this state end ere, at the present, active aeoibe-rs of the

organization in this City. I knovY Robinson and his nlfe as they •

came to the Kew YorX headquarters several times irhlle i was

wording there. Both Robinson and his wife were ver:' free In t£l>-
Ing to ine as they Know me only as a Ic^al member of the organ-

ization. Robinson pays that the toilce have the right men but

he bellver> these men were the tools of Esau Ramus. Esau Rr^aus

was the agent sent down here by Garvey^from Philadelphia. The

police have in their hands a letter address to the president


of the organization In this city signed by Gaxvey, telling the

president that Ramus will reside In New Orleans In the future

and to give him rny woric that he could find for him to do, not

saying that Ramus ras to establish a police foic^. After Ramus

was here for a few weejcs the president of the Organization h'?re

wrote to rew vorK to find out ^ust what Ramus was to do here,

as the members did not approve of this police force that Rc-mus

was trying to organise. This letter was answered tyij^arvey's

secretary saying that Grrvey r?is out of to^n, but, that Ramus had

orgMni.?.ed a police force In Phlladelphls and no doubt that Mr.


5k

Or.Tvey ironla si pr^. e of hie orsanlzlng a j^ U '


force here.

TniB tQpeavB to toe all the cornaunicatloa thtt took place tet^rf^en

Gprvf.:-"'3 office and this city la r^^^Bis to Ramus. All of these

coaniunlcatious are in the hands of *ths loccl office. of this

(leportaent. The contents of these conraunlcatlons were conflrraed

to me la ny Interview rj.th Robinson. During my Inter-vxew I tried

to learn from Rotolnson the rrhere atoouts of Rsoius, Robinson B«ys

ttr.t Rrnus has left the city and !.3 likely In Philadelphia, or
Jlew Yoric.tout did not Jcnow his address. Since the two' men that
are arrested fox the aurder of Prison are local men and tne j.aut

that these people here toelelve them to have been the tools of

Ramus, pnd the arrest of Ramus will help to clear these local

members, that If they knew the where abouts of Ramus they would

turn hl=: up.

After ny Intervlevr with Robinson I IntervieTred ^llll?n

Phillips secretary to tne local division. Phillips wno was a

secretary to *^.^ Boston division at one time, is also Icnown to


me personslly. rnillli^s tallced to me very freely and deplores

the murder of nason as Sasor. res a personal friend of his. Ke

cays that before the arrest of these two men he received a threat-

lug letter because he had made a statement that If he tnew who

the men were that had Killed 3a son he v;ould turn them over to

the police. Phillips seems to be very much disgusted with the

organization and says as soon as this trial Is over he is going

to leave here. Phillips says that he thinKs that Ramus has left

the country for some i.art of the Trest indies.

In contlnurncs of my InvetstigRXion under cover, I again

intervlerrea s.V.Hobinson 2222 Phillips Gt. In no^ee that I

would learn the where abouts of Ssau Ramus, and any other In-
formation concerins this case. I attended the meeting at 2025
JaclcBon Ave. and freely mingled rlth aembers of the organization

In hores of plcKlng up some lead In this case. The members ireeiv

talked of the murder of Eason and they all seem to thinK that a

good deed had been done. In discussing the case with Robinson,

who seems to b'* possessed of more facts than anyone el?e,h'=^ seI-?.,

t'nct Hr:xa£ lived at Lyer's (one of the men nrrested for this
crime) house, ?nd that Eyer, after not receiving much encouragement

at the meeting in org^^nlzlng this police force of his,toolc the

matter up with a few members, at his, Dyer's house. He says that Ub


doesn't believe that Ramus made jcnom to these men v>hat his real
olfision here was. Said that Ramus was a good talXer and that he

tised these men as tools. These men are denying their guilt ar thi-y

thlnlc they will get more support if they do so. Then^Hrs. Lyer

Is Baying^ that Ramus came to her house after Fason had b^en.iciiled

and said that he, Ramus^ 'had killed the S — — B ', It is very

doubtful If Ramus made use of any such exrrr^sslon but llrs Dyer is

useing this to help clear her husband. Robinson Is of the opinion

that if Ramus is arrested Dyer and Shakesicrf; Kill be released. I

Robinson told me last night that the last time that Gervt^y

ras do;^ here they expected to have some trouble vrith the police,
but they were prepared for the police as they had about tvienty

men across the street from the hall St which Gsrvey was s.oea.King

with plenty arr.s, end anununitlon, snd if the police had attempted

to arrest Garvey that night the streets would have been runing

with blood. I nave no doubt of the truthfulness of this, ststeseni

th&t 1» about being prepared, ana I am sure it would have been the

starting of one of the country's worse riots-


At the present I am trying In some way to be arrested so th^.'

and myself will liicely h?ve to arrange anoth-^r r-tid and let me Dtj

A telegram was received from Sew YorX todr^y telling this

went over to court this afternoon to arrange about this warrrnt.

I would add that every effort be used to locate Ramus. He x^

most nicely man for Ramus to get In touch with, and then I incTr that

:?. 3AGi:.1XL of the E, i. A. C. P., called at the_ Bureau office this

mominff and advised as follOT^s:

On **ednesday last, J. AUSilll II02HI3 a prominent colored

attorney' of the city of Philadelphia, located at t1508 lombai^ iit.,

oarae to I^ev/ York to see OV-'EII, TOHHIS is and has been for some time

attorney for the Philadelphia Jivision of the U.IT.X.A, Althou.frh it

^ is known that he is not in sympathy v;ith the movement, he v;as a very

close friend of EASOII and was ]a30v;n to sympathise with FA30-U in

his stand against (^l^^TZ'^ although he did not come out in the open

as EASOi; did. Therefore, through his continued connection with

the U.r.T.A., he has been able to obtain v;hat is believed to be

Incriminatinp: evidence against XTAaCUS GABTSY and ESAU HAIJUS. He

advised Q'::ZU that HAIiUS' wife is at the present time residing'

at -^2112 Catherine St.. Philadelphia

Pa., under the names of :.33. H*j:i:?.Y

phia. rOH!?rS h£s» throuf?h private channels, been ahle to obtain

such letters as fia^e ,^:,been sent by 2.^.173 to these persona ad3

has then no^v in his possession. In these letters we are informed,

RAliUS talks freely of his having shot EASOE and also of the fact

that he was inspired to do it an.d__ paid by G^vYiY, In one of the


i

letters vre are told, RAMJS advises his vTtfe that he v/ould like to
I

come to Philadelphia, but his wife replied that it would not be safe i

* i

for him to do so. In another letter he tells of GAHYTy'S having

visited him on January 31st in i>etrolt. It will be recalled that

two weeks ago GABYHT left i:ev; York on what was supposed to be a

speaking tour. V/e knew that he was in Suffalo on "'ednesdc?- cf that

week and was supposed to have been back in Hew York by Thursday.

V/e are nov/ informed that the purpose of this trip vjas to visit

RALUS in i)etroit and HAIjITS wrote to his wife that he had a con-

ference there with GAHTSY. during which GA3VTY to3d him to keep

quiet and that as soon as the EASOU matter blew orer he would send

him to Liberia, Africa. This is partly verified by A^rent Battle

of our office, who, on Sunday, j'^ruary 11th, attended a meetin?: at

Liberty Hall, H. Y. , where GXRYEr spoke, at--vmich— GAI^YST spoke

to his audience of a v500« collection for "Immediate work in liberia,'

CAHVT? stated he would not tell his audience the exact reason for

this money because certain colored traitors would immediately inform

the whites if they knew,

documents . I!03Sr3 also advised us over the telephone that he has

now secured the correct address at v;hich ^UL"U3 Is living in Detroit,

Our idea of handling the matter is as follows:


Instead of having 3AIjT^ picked up in Detroit on the murdo*

charge in I1e\7 Orleans, it v;ould seem better to have him arrested on

the charge of dumping his ball in Philadelphia and brouf^ht bajcfc to 'ftie

latter city, 'inhere, i:0HHI3 v;ould naturally act as his attorney and

HOHI?rS has offered, if this trans^pires, to have RAJ.aJS make statements '

to him regarding the orders he received from G/JlVrT In connection i

with the killin!^ of EASOII, so that the New Orleans authorities and
i

the Governmeat as well, nay use same. 'RAIJUS is knov;n to be very |

stubborn and will probably, on being arrested on the Kew Orleans I

charge, say nothing. However^ this matter will be gone over thorourhl-;

tomorrow with 13, lIATTUCi:, at which time a plan of action will be

FACTS DEVELOPED:

Heferecc^e is made to ay report of yesterday's date out-

lining the data secured through CEAniCiEH OVrsus from attorney Horris
of Philadelphia:

This morniag Morris came to Hew Tort and, with Owens,

William Pickens, Agent Amos and the writer, was taten to the office

of Asst. U.S. Attorney L'attuck^

Borris advi&sd that Saan Kanus, whose correct na«ie is

JOEH trE??HIZ3, is at present in hiding at 1516 Hussell Street,

Detroit, Michigan. This address he secured from a letter sent by

-Bamus to llary Prince In Philadelphia a few days ago.

Horris also broufrht with him sample of Hazais* haGd\7riting,

consisting of a letter written hy the latter to Elie,Garola (a

defendant in the present case) , signed "Esau Hamus - J»J#" This

letter is printed hy pen and Ink, and is, I am informed, the only
way Ramus can write. Borrls brought this specimen in order to

shov/, by comparison, that I^amus Is undoubtedly the persoa v/ho wrote

the anonymoua letter to the Chi.cago "Defender" which was. published

In that paper on ?eb. 3rd last, which letter

purports to have been v/ritten by

the murderer of Eason, There Is no

qtiestlon but that the two hand-

writings are identical, *


.2-

Borrls also "brOTight to ns a large photograph of Haraua

In his unlfOTm of the TJ.H.I.A. police - the photo la a group, all

In nniform ana shoTra Ramas off to gooa effeot, Borris failed,


however, to "produce the letters "between Hanua and his wife, which

3l was led to believe were in his possessicn , and which, from his

conversations, he has undouhtedly seen. The material v/hlch he

handed us has been photostated and will be sent to Bew Orejans foe

the use of the city authorities there. -

Tlorris' information was practically the same as that given

us throu,?h Chandler Ov.-ens. yesterday. However, he also advised us

^at IbimTia is wanted by the Uew York Pol iee on several charges,

under the name of John Jeffries.


With ilr. liattacJc, plans for the arrest sdszk of Eamus were

laid and it was decided that inasmuch as Ramus was wanted in Hew

York, we have the police here Request his arrest, bring him to Bevr

Tork, and when here use the various means at our disposal to connect

Ifarcus Garvey T/ith the shooting affair in Hew Orleans. Therefore,

Agent Amos and the writer went to Police Headquarters and talked

the natter over with ileut. Gegan and Inspector Coughlan. The

latter advised us that Ramus (or Jeffries) was indicted in New York

County during April, 1921 for Attempted Larceny in the 1st degree.

Assault, 1st degree, and for carrying a concealed weapon (Sullivan

Law); that he had entered a furniture store in the negro section

at the time attempted to held up the proprietor, assaulted him, at-

tempted to escape but v.-iia captured in the cellar of the place. He

dlair.o-i to h'ivo -Uclocctod his hin, hovrever , and was reniovod to


-3-

Harlem Hosrital, T/hlle confinea there he made his escape and has

not "been seen since. Inspector Cou^hlan considered the matter of

such Importance tiiat he ordered Lieut. Gegan to have the arresting

officer (Deteotlve i}onohue, 38th Preo.)' leave for Detroit at once

to arrest Jeffries, suggesting that when this was done Ur. llattuck

oould make the necessary arrangements with the State District

Attorney to send Jeffries to Mew Orleans, from here. Hov/ever, when

Sonohue v/aa located he did not seen very anzious to make the trip,

and claimed that his recolleotioa of the prisoner v;as so poor that

lie douhted if he could pick him up at this time. Inspector Coaghlan

then ordered Xieut. Gegsa to communicate with the Detroit police end

have them pick Jeffries up on ^he Hew York charge and held for

extradition:.

Agents were of the oplniorr that the sending of the Uew Yoifc

detective to Detroit would have "hmen a safe procedure, "but after

the second su^erestion v^as made came to the conclusion that if the

suhject were apprehended in Detroit merely on a Hew York request,

ha would ask a hearing, obtain hail and again escape. The Detroit
c our s e
authorities of/Eooii v;ould not know the importance of holding the

man without hail. Certainly ilarcus Garvey would make every effort

to prevent the return of Jeffries to New York and Agents felt that

he would raise any hail demanded. v;e decided, -feerefore, to have

lieut. Oe^^cn send to the Detroit peilce the v/arrant which the forner

had in his possession from Ileir; Orleans, askin.p: that he he arrested

on that. AccompGnyin.^ this v/arrant was suhject's full description

and his I'tr.ror^v^int^ * lit Taltan--}onsly, A*ontc sent the follov;lr.- viro
-4-

to the Detroit office:.

Befer telesraia 7th regarding Ssan P.&sns alias John


Jeffries alias Prince wanteii Ilev/ Orleans for murder.
Correct a^are^s this man is fifteen sixteen Russell
S/treet» Detroit. IJev/ York Police have today m^led
Eev/ Orleans v/arrant to Chief Police Detroit with
full particulars asking his Irrraediate arrest. Sne-rest
yoia conr-.unicate police your city and when sah^ect is
apprehended v/ire Shauton, Hew Orleans and this office.
Department very much interested this natter and
arrest very important in conneotlcn with case asrainst
Marcns Garvey now pending" i'ederal court here.

I do not "believe it is necessary to rem/[iad* the Detroit office Itei:

this subject is in hiding and "will try to evade arrest; th^t he is

Id Detroit for the reason that a jump over the horder to Canada is

easy froa there and that, if apprehended, his freedom on hall will

mean his escape for good. I douht If he will raaie any statement

hut should he do so, the Hew Orleans office should be supplied vlth

It immediately. - '

late today Agent received a telephone call from confidential

employe #800, who has been working on -Siis case under cover in Eeff

Orleans, and suhseq.uently met him. He was advised of the progres

of the matter and will probably nov7 await ihe outcome of the Detroit

lead*

One Di^on, who has been assistinp: agents, also came to the

office today and confidentially advised us that Ell Garcia told M. m

that before Hamus left Hew York for Hew Orleans in th e Fall he v/ss

given vlOO by Garvey; the latter, as a matteo of course, sent him

to Garcia to" receive the order -Tor the money. ?ive days after Kason
-i

shootlnr: Gr.rcia states that Kamus acain come tc the office and
•5-

Garvey gave him an order for v60 whlcli Garcia O.E. 'd. For the In-
formation of the new Or elans office, Garcia, v/ho la a co-defendart

rlth Garvey, has elnc|i. split from him, having been arrested on

Garvey*s complaint that he stole a sum of money from him. I feel

that he Is telling the truth. In fact have reason to helleve that

"before the case against him comes to trial he will enter a plea rf

gallty and turn state's evidence.

On this date also agent received from the i?ost


Office depiirtment tracing of a letter (envelope) addressed to L!aw-

Prince 'at 1807 - 3rd Ave this city. The letter was pcstmiArkied at

Detroit Feh. 12th. There appear to he two I'ary Princess in this

case, which I thinlc are e^rplained hy the fact that Ramua had a

''wife" in almost every city.

At i:e;? Tpr^c, Il.Y .

Durin-^.the perioa by which this repo:»t is covered, ^Igea ts

have been makine: continuous efforts to obtain sone Information re-


garding the whereabouts of ZSA'J ILu.:US, who is nov; waited by the
new Orleans authorities, charged v/ith having killed DH. J. u. KASOK.

On the 29th of January, ^^e-ents scoured the negro district

Q.u9stionin5 various persons, but obtained 4o Information. On this

date alaij, subpoenas duces tecum 7;ere issued on the iVestei*n Union
Telegraph Co, in an endeavor to obtain copies of tele^CTS which

were, we had been inforned, sent from Uev; Orleans on the ninrht of

the murder to L'ARCUS OAHVEY or his associates here. The telegraph

company was, hovjever, unable to locate aiy such telegruns.

Agent Battle, who is working under cover among the Garvey-

Ites, reports that the greneral ifcpressian is that AIIIEHSGII, who is ,

now in rp'^v Orleans (arrested since this report has been vnritten) is

one of CSVHY'S closest associates and is supposed to have been in

Bev: Orleans before the niurder v;as committed, returning thereafter

and reporting directly to G-lHVTJf. ATJITP.SOn and EASOI! are knon-n

Uattuck, for the spaclfic purpose pf trying to obtained from them


some information In corjnection v/ith the present investl^tion. Those

called, ho-rever, appeared to have none. Agent Amoa on liiis date

accidently met iTP-SD ^^ TOOTi:, who is at the present time an officer

of the U. n. T. A. In conversation IJ3L. TOOTE stated -Qi at HA13US

is v/ell knov;n to him and that ha (^0?Z) was in Philadelphia v;ith


GAHT^Y some time a?o v.'hen HAIDJS Tjras arrested there for starting a

fight. GASVITf at the time, {rot' HAIJUS released. TOOTE also informs

US that .SLIrT GA?XIi-knav;s a great deal about HALTJS en d his dealings

with G^J'.'VTT, claiming that v;hen ItruS called at* 1iie U.E.I.A.

headauar-ters after the shooting, GAP.YSY referred him to GAHCJA,

who, as auditor, had control of the ftinds. On tating this up with

KH. UAT'HJCK ho—cvar, hs advised it will not be ethical, inasmuch as

GAHCIA is a defendant in this case.

On January 31st a telegram was received from the Hev/ Orleaa s

office advising us that the correal; address for U.ST PRIIICS was

180'? - 3rd Avenue, and that their previous tel agrac had been in erior.

Agents proceeded there immeaiately a3 d found that there is a parly

named 53IiJCE living at that address together with fanilies named

IiUL3AIi:2 and CZASAH. It v/as deemed advisable that we endeavor to

obtain information there confidentially, and ^gent Battle v/aa therefore

instructed to interview i:?^. ?Hi::CH under cover. However^ ^e was

not at home and information regarding her whereabouts was not obtain-

able, 'i'his house is of an extremely low type, inhabited exclusively

by colored people and it is useleaa to make inquiries, -igent Battle

was instructed to return there in the evening. -

two checks 0^ possihle Interest were found, hoth Issued to "cash"

and these have heen photostated.

- On the morning of S'ehruary 3st, Ihe report at Agent Shuey

of the Philadelphia office v;as received, in which he requested that

the SALTFS now unier hond there he positively identified as the mai

novr "being sought "by Ilev; Orleans, Agents telephoned to Agent in

Charge Foster and advised him that the two men are identical, request-

^Ing also, that the surety in Philadelphia he advised to prodi ce H/u-X^S,

Agent x'oster was also furnished witli the address of IB. HOHEIAII in

Philadelphia, who, v/a are informed, is vd.lling to assist the Govern-

ment In this matter.


HE. TH:a2'.700D, who is novr also connected vlth the GAHTKT

organisations and who had heen to tte office on subpoena, yesterday

returned and advised us that while he did not know RALTJS. he had-

learned at the tMT.I.A. headquarters that he was novr in Detroit at

an unknovm address. He promised _to obtain this address if possihle. |

Agent Battle on this date spent practically the entire day at 1807 - j

3rd Avenue, endeavorin,^ to "rope" the janitor of the house, who,


it i

appears, has sone information repardlnfr i:r.? PHIt:C^. The jmitor'y |

runs a truckln{T business and states that he knows this to be a

fact because he moved then in; that they have moved in and out

several tices duric,? the past months. He clalns that he has never j

seen L33. THINCH'S husband, but in a general v/ay he answers the I

description o:f HALtJS. LIAS? PHIIICr: is supposed to be living there

with I:H3, liULHAHiE, who is her sister., rBS, irULHAHrE: had her !

husband arrested a short time ago for non-support and, it is alleged, j

HAnjS disappeared about the sace time.

Agent Battle advises, as he has contended throughout this

Investigation, that it is his opinion that DALITS v/ent directly

from new Yort xo the City of Detroit where he still Is at the

present time, -a^ent Battle made m.any efforts to see 13S, PHirC2

on this date but was unable to v?** her in*

On ^'ebruary 3rd varioi>s V7itnesses came to the Bureau

office for questioning, Hone, hoi.7ever , had any definite information !

regarding ?UIXT3. Several of them stated that they knev; him very wel"L

and promised to obtain whatever information they could regarding

his T/hereabouts. »

On i'ebruary 5th Agents sent a decoy registered letter

addressed to LT.S. IIAHT PmnCE at rfl807 - 3rd Avenue. This for the

purpose of having her call at the branch post office, v/hero her j

description coiUd be obtained and questions asked of her. This v;as

done because it seemed practically irapostible to catch her at the \

house at any time. 3ho called at the post office during ^e abaorxo \

be done, it is ^vell to talce into consideratiou that there


has been considerable litiK^^tion obtaining bjt.veen The
Chicago Ijeiendar ^na the I.— reus Garvey .T.OTsrr^ent this
;

heing in the nature of a libel suit, which guinea wiag


puDlicity and was in the courts for quits a fc.v years.
8. It is of special note that all the allega-
tions nade against the Garvey mox'ement if true v/ould
.

only be offenses punishable by st&te jurisdictions, and


I see nothing of v;i:Lich any r'eieral Jurisdiction has any
right or reason to taice cognizance.

9. It reduces itself to a cannibalistic scheme


of one rival getting rid of the other by annihilation or
otherv.ise

Concluding I beg to sup-gest that I hold no brief


for Garvey and I am not even persoiiaily acquainted v/ ith
him, but I do not v.ant to see tne Depc^rtr.ent in tne riaicu-
lous attitude of taro.ving its strong arm of activities into

Superior Service and Protection
Causes An Expansion
The Southern Aid Society of Vir-
ginia, Inc., herewith presents an-
other link in ita chain of modem
office buildings. They are all evi-
dences of the soundness of its policy
contract, as well as ita business
policy.

This three story, modem brick


building is located at 529 N. 2nd
Street, Richmond, Virginia, and was
built to take care of the growth and
expansion of the Society's business
beyond the capacity of its present
Home Office building, at 527 North
2nd Street.

The ground floor is occupied by the Commercial Bank and Trust


Company, the coming financial giant of the Middle Atlantic States,
while the Society and two leading dentists occupy suites on the
second and third floors. Tt is therefore one more lisrhthouse em-
blazoning the Threefold Superior Service and Protection of the
Society, and they are as follows:

One Small Premium secures protection against Sickness, Accident


and Death, providing employment to 500 young men and women
of our group and supplying modern office facilities for the race's
business and professional activities.

a lunch room and an auditorium. The class
rooms are ETOuped around the auditorium
which is equipped with n staire, curtain an<l
moving picture machine, and will seat 500
people. The Dover School was planned with
the hope that it would not only be used for
class room work, but that it miirht also be-
come a community center and a convention
hall for the Negro people of the State.
After the physical rebuilding of the
schools, attendance is the createst problem
in Delaware. It would be useless to erect
modern buildinps unless the children will -J-^-i- i

take advantaL'e of them. The Delaware


School Auxiliary has, therefore, made a
careful study of attcnilance and absence
in "the niral schools, tosrether with the cause.'s
of absence, in an effort to discover why
children do not attend school rcrularly. In
the near future Dr. Richard Watson Cooper,
Director of the Bureau of Education of the
Ser^-ice Citizens, publish a book on
will
"Non-attendance of Colored Children in the
Public Sclmols nf DiUi'.Tiiro," which will un-
doubtedly be of preat service in solving one
of the Kreattat problems of the Xe^jro in
Delaware.

m contlnuence of my investigation unlPr cover I fiorf^

that Garvey will hold a large mass meeting at Carnegie Hall

on the 23rd of Februarv, This meeting he says, is for the

Tiurposp of explaining to th'* public the alms and objects of

the Universal Negro Improvement Association^^ The real purpose

of this meeting is to create sympathy for his coming trial.

In order to do this he has had printed about five thousand

letters in the foms of invitation which he is sending to ail

Judges, LaTnrers. court Attendants and to any one that he things

their sympathies tpIII do him any good In his trial- I had neard

that he had a list of the Jury panel and was sending them a copy

but, upon chficKlng on this Iriformatlon I found that It wasn't

true. I secured a copy of this letter and turned it over to Ag'=^nt

Davis, 33 hp said that he wanted to turn it over to the District

Attorney, i learned tha* Garvey had contemplltit^d sending a

copy of this letter to the jurymen but afterwards changed LI'S

mind,

I am keeping in touch with Garvpy*s office and am wa^tln;

to see what effect the arrest of Raniua will have on him. a --

Bure that Ramus is in Detroit as all information I have gptrlen.

leads to that cl^v.

I would suEsest that as soon as Ramus is arrested in Detroit

a search warrant be secured for the house of Uory Ramus In


Philadelphia and all letters In her possession be taKen as Ramus
Iftltew xefered to in my previous
report

the simple faow i;hat the Police
Dapartment and th6 Prosooutins Attorney's office ted no money vrhat-

ever to expend in the ertredltion of this prisoner (RAi:us); and


Becondly; that he believed that there was inaulficient evidence to
ooimeot hin with the murder of DH.iL''iSOXI.

I toola all evidence and papers on hand, and called at the


STATE DISTaiC^f ATOK-^rsy'S office, LJl. HOBSaT E.Iiirr, and he inform-

ed me that the only evidence upon v;hlch he. could base a varrant

was the statemant of the wife of CO?JEIIUS DrriiS, and said infornsi-

tion> in his opinion, nas the result of instructions to her by her

husband's lav.-yera to defend her husbind from the charge of IZurder.

He further stated that although we haS much evidence on hand to

Show that HALIUS was organising a Police Force, and that he lived

In the sacB room with the arrested supposed murderer, still there

was laclcing, in his legal opinion, sufficient evidence upon which

to base extradition here for trial, which may result in nothing

"but expense to the State.


I then consulted with U.S.DISTIilC:? ATT0RiJ3Y lOUXS H.BUPJ7S,

arfl he stated that it was to be expected that the city was in a bad

financial condition, end recommended that I cable the authorities


at ^VasMngton to have Ii;uajS arrested and tai:en to 113' YO?X
and

ttied there, in connection with rOHCUS GAETEY, on the charge of


''C0Ii'S?Ii4CY"-"U3Ii:G THIi) lAIl^ TO D3?HAI]D", if, of course, auffi-

oient evidei^cs was in thoir hands for that purpose.

I then returned to Police Headquarters in the


afternoon,

Head-
Bt 2 o'clock, ar-d hod the Chief of Police summon to Police

quarters CAPTAHI R3ZD of the 12th Precinct Station, Who was the

Ealdins Officer and Arresting Officer of all the negroes Implicated

more to the ^tate iJistrict Attorney'.? office, and again went over

the ease, and presented the evidence through Captain Heed, aid

after two hours reading the evidence end conversing on this matter, i

the follov/ing telegram was sent to Sdward H.Fox, Chief of iJetectivea


!
^

Detroit .uichisan, signed (JUY H.L'OIrOITEY, Superintendent of Police :-

It is my candid opinion that the locel authorities are

showing icdifference in thsir endeavor to recognize the evidence


that 7;e have on hand, and which has heen presented to them. Their

main plea for not caring to extradite prisoner is lacl: of funds .

lievertheleaa, I will continue with that Department and its law

officers, in an effort to persuade them to accept our evidence.

The capias mailed today to Detroit may hold him for a very

indefinite period.

In continuance of my Investigation und^^r cover I Intervi^wea

not many of th'^ officials here Knew that H^aius was In to".vn,or-

Thi^^i^^a-rtty .' s In nis office In jnilf/delrinis, letters froa Ranius conuect-

Garvey v.-itn tn? aurder of "Sason. These letters he -.vlll bring to

Kew york and turn over to Agent DevIs. Upon Inforaatlon of this

attorney /gent Bnvls, learned thrt Rcaus was ^vanted here in Ker Yorlc

found thlc to be trie. ?ntn office hss T;ltinesoes to testify thrt

Garvey g?>ve Ranius noney to leave irew TorK. Agent D^vls is very

much afrsld that the Detroit Police will not use the proper method

In. apprehending this man and h^ will get sTvay to Canada. I am of

the same opinion. It villi be tomorrow afternoon (Feb.ISth) before

this '/c^rT'^Rt reaches Detroit ^nd I. T^ould advise that this depart- •

handle the apprehending of this man in Detroit. Until such tine

J.J. 1;-, -rct^i^.^n."-- for *:-^^ s^jrer^-^r./^ior* of Ramus In Detroit I thought

It best not to see ii^ry Frlnce. in case that Ramus is not arrested

In Detroit I v.-ill then see thj.s woman. In the meantime l will ke^p

.

Christilav;, stenographer at the Detroit office, proceeded to "Police

Eead quarters, Detroit, There, in company of Lieutenant Detective

Eeig v/e interviev/ed and took a staitement from Ranus, copy of v;hich

is attached hereto. I am sending copy of this statement to Hg'.v

Orleans and to Philadelphia; to the former office is also being sent

the various exhibits identified by Ramus and initialed by Agents,

should they be needed in the future.

For the information of the IJev; Orleans office, I desire


i

to state that in taking this statement from Ramus an efiSort vias made |

to question him as little as possible regarding the murder of Dr. :

Sason, this for the purpose of not conflicting v/ith any plans or I

details contemplated in Ilev; Orleans with v;hich Agent is not familiar*

lly purpose in coming to Setroit to question Ramusvas in direct connec- :

tion v/ith the case of fraud nov/ pending against j.Iarcus Garvey in •

the i'ederal court at New York. It has always been our belief that |

Garvey was the instigator of Kason' s death and it was for tho purpose ;

of thus connecting Garvey that Agent questioned Ramui; ;


likev/iue it

plain that he had no intention of involving Garvey in this case.

After takinfj the statosient Xrom hira Agents Gndoavored to inpresG

Earaua , v/ith the purpose of having him think the matter over and

perhaps ar.iend or add to same on the follov/ing day.

Feb. 24th.

On this date Agents learned that Alonzo D. c'ettiforcl,

colored attorney Ox Detroit, and president of the. Detroit division i

U, IJ. I, A., ohtained a v/rit of habeiis corpiis for Ramus and that a |

hearing on same had been set for llonday. Agent Dupuis^ report v/ill ;

shov; that Bettiford approached hin on the 22nd inst. and advised '

that he i:ad bean retained as counsel for Raiaxis. Agent Dupuis at j

onoe coni-r.iini Gated 'vvith the Police, v/ho assured that the matter ".vould \

be taken care of by thera. j

At about 1.50 p.m. Agent V.'ilcox of the Detroit office

advised Agents that Ur, Brcnnan had telephoned him from Ilev; York and

stated that he had received a telegram from Hew Orleans, according to

which the authorities there did not appear willing to extradite Rmus
York police
'

from Michigan; hov/over, llr, Brennan advised, the Ilev;

were willing to take subject, and arrangements had been made there :

to send a warrant to Detroit for him. Agent V/ilco:, not being

familiar with the progress of this caso, did not know of the issuance ;

of the writx v/hen he talked to Mr, Urennan; therefore, upon suggestion:

P^

C. J. Scully, advising of the situation here, and askins that the I

ITev; Yor;c Police be requested to r/ire tho v/arrant today v;ithout fail.

A^ent Dupuis and the writer then went to Police Head-

quarters, v.tiore the forrner explained the matter to Chief of Betectives

po::c and Deputy Chief LlcCarthy who advised that they would arrange to

hold suh^ect pending the llev; York warrant and also take oare of the

hearing on the writ on the 26th inst. Then, in company with Lieut. \

of Detectives Loclc.vood, Agents ag-ain interviewed Koraus. Vie offered I

to read his statenent to hin or to let hin read it himself, but upon

bein^ advised o'j hin that he could not read, A£:ent started reading I

saire. Upon reachin^r the fourth page Kamus stopped Agent and stated |

that it was apparantly all right and offered to sign it, v/aich he

notary being available, Agent)^ placed

did in presence of Agents, ilo

their signatures on the statenient as v/itnesses. An effort was then


i

made to cvo::tion Ranus further, but it was found that he was nore i

disinolinod to talk ^oday than he waB ^.-esterday, in fact he practically

refused to answer questions put to hlnie

There being nothing further for this Agent to do in the

natter here cLp^cially in view of the fact that H:.nius will now be

letumoc to How York, Agent made arrangemonts to return to heudcuartoi'.^-,

at How xork and did so on tho night of I^'cb. 25th.

Hon. .Vm. J, Burns,


Director, Bureau of Investigation,

Governor:

JFor your confidential information will state

that the otate Prosecuting Attorney Mr. Uarr, and the

Chief of Jrolice of ile^.v Orleans during the last three

days that I have been v?or'i:ing with then endeavoring to

have thea place before their Grand Jury all the evidence

on hand to substantiate request on the Governor for

extradition of prisoner arrested in Detroit who to ciy

mind is by evidence and affidavits on hand undoubtedly

implicated in murder of J. V/* Sason on January first.

Prosecuting Attorney and Police claim, first

lacl: of funds and second, lack: of evidence to convict

prisoner Hamus. I persuaded them to send a capias

which will give us time to go over thoroughly and con-

vince thom that we have the evidence.

It is their opinion th^at they have the actual

killers in jail, oha^iespearo and Dwyor, and there- is no

doubt b-it that thoy will put them across.

I a-ii .'^^lad that A,;;ont Gulloy and undercover;


-2-

Agent Jones will be on the scene , as they have all faots

on hand. This I heliove ^7ill convince the Prosecuting

Attorney and extradition papers will go f or.vard.


I will keep you well informed, also l^ew

Yort as requested.

v/as the next ship for the BIACZ S?A3 LII;H, was published, C_^7'iY

named the ship and had photographs of it put in "the "I!egro ''orld"

so GAHY:^ cannot say he did not knov; about the advertising re-

garding the "?HYJJ;13 V.tieaTI5:Y" for he 0. IT.'d the proofs. The

H^V. PAUI, further stated that CAHVEY started out \';lth honest

intentions but the temptation v/as too great and GAHVEY could not

resist it, GAHYEY finally reached the point v/here he v/ould not

respect the :?EV. V'^l and his office, therefore the'HSY. PAUL

FELLOW MEN' OF THE KEGl RACE, Greeting:

I have to bring- to your atte: 3n this week tlie greatest bit of


treachery .ind wickedness that ar group of Xci;roes could be cap-
able of. This thing is so shockin , so vicious and murderous as to
make it impossible for any self- -spccting person to imagine that
any .one, olher than a etilprit ot t- ; meanest kind, could be respon-
able for its authorship. /

HONOR AMO *H1EVES


I

It is said that is honor


there on amo;i;:j thieves, but it is ap,-

parent that their i=no honor and so If -respect amongNeg- certain


roes in that the-.- would rcsnrt f.) l!ie meanest and lowest methods
possible, not only to pilfer the pockets ot their brothers but to rob
one of his fair name- Stealing- a man's money is, as Shakespeare
says, trash, but to injure a man's reputation, to tarnish his character,
is a crime of the lowest kind \\hicu not even ordinary thieves would
indulge in. To further imagine ''at a group of colored men could
be responsiblo- for writing to the Attorney Gene "al of the United
States of America and 'to the wh'ce people at large in endeavoring
to prejudice them against fel!o\\- ^Tegroes whose only crime has been
that of making an effort to imprc ve the condition of the race is be-
yond the conception of the iiioi^: feriile imagination; nevertheless,
the thing has been done by a group of Xew York Xegroes who have
writien tb.eir names down eve;-i;;,-iinjrl}' as enemies of tlieir own race
by maliciously, wickedly ar.'"! treacherously endeavoring to so mis-
represent their rp(~e wliich repre-c^it- tl-.e minririty group in a major-
ity rivilizritioti as to cau?c that m'jarity to un\vi!lir.i;iy, and not of
its ov,-n accord, impi'i-e such ['r^.-hmeut upun tiie race as to make
it liarder for us to ?r.rvi\-e in ;i'.e coanLr\- of our common adoption.

(4) An erroneous conception lir-Id by many is that Xegroes try


to cloak and hide criminals-, Thij..ruth is that tlie great majority of
Xegroes are bitterly opposed to aV criminals, and especially to those
of their own race, because they kfibw tiiat such criminals will cause
increased discrimination against t'/cm^elves.
(5) The U. X. I. A. is complied chiefly of tlie most primitive
and ignorant element of W'est Inciian and Ameri:an Xegroes- The

(15) Marcus Garvev >:as created an org;an{zation which


In fact,
in its fundamental law condemns .*nd invites to crime. This is evi-
denced by section 3 of Article V orthe Constitution of the U. N- I.
A.J under, the caption, "Court. Recci'tion at Homc.'^ J^_reads^j^ ^'No

(16) Further, proof of this i:../r.und in the public utterances of


"^Villiam SlierriU one of the chi^i o:'t"iL\rJs in the or^fanization and
Garvey's envoy to the League of Xati'^u? As?;c!ubly at Geneva. Speak-
ing at the Goldneld Theatre in Dalfiv.iore, ^Id., on August IS, 1922,
he is quoted as saying: "BLACK FOLK AS ^^ELL AS WHITE

(17) What appears to be an c;tempt to carry out this threat is

seen in the assault and slashing; wi:'i a razor of one S. T. Saxon by


Garveyites in Cincinnati, Ohio, ivhen he spoke against the move-.
ment there last October.

was to be the chief witness against him in. the Federal 'Govern-
ment's case, was waylaid an,d assas^rr,ated. it is reported in the press,
by the Gar^/c-yites. Rev. Eason idcntitied two 0** the men as Freder-

Eason says he knew t\ men who shot him were directed

to do so. In so much, however, is the assassination of Mr- Eason


removes a Federal witness, we s "^gcst that the Federal Government
probe into the facts and ascerta<i whether Eason was assassinated
as the result of an interstate con/.Mracy emanating from New York.
It is significant that the U- N. I- "A. has advertised in its organ. The
Negro World, the rasing of a c'efense fund for those indicted for
the murder, seemingly in accordance with its constitution.

(23) Not only has mor*nicnt created fr^tion between Neg-

it naturally attracts an €ven low ;r type of cranks, prooks and racial
bigots, among whom suggesti'P -y to violent crime is much greater.
(28) iloreover, since its'^Ijasic law —the very constitution of
the U- N. I. A. —the organizatic'n condones and encourages crime,
its future meetings should be cjirefully watched by officers of the

About beiiig unscrupulous -.-^-jid a demagogue, we need pay no
attention because the very villip ; who wrote such a letter are bet-
ter able to interpret unscrupuiiU aness and demagogy than anyone
else, in tli.it they seem to know nf'.n-i: about it, but when it romes to
the point of '"Marcus Garvey asjiduously ^seeking to spread among
KegvOi:s cli-triK-t jjud hatre.l foil al! white people," it is time for
the v.liitv anu black races to rej!i::c the truth about tliC Universal
Negro Improvcnien'L A~?OL-iatioii and its President.At no time has
the President of the Universal Xegro Improvement Ass^^ciation
preaclied h.rarca of liiu white pcoi;le. That in itself is a violation of
the cor.5titL:t;on of the organization, v.-hich teaches all its members
to love and respect the rights of r"= races, believing that by so doing,
other? will in turn love and respect our rights-

No 111 Feeling Between Kaces


In paragraph 3 they try to-- make out that The Negro World,
sedulously and continnally, scek'^s to arouse ill-feeling between the
races, yet in tlic same breath iliey further try to make out that there
is an alliance between Garvcy and the Ku KIux Klan. If these men
were in ti'.e possession of their senses, and were actuated by truth
rather tlian b}- a desire to du harn> and injury, they would have reali-

2yed that the Ku Kiux. Klan is a white organization and stands for
white supremacy, so tliat Garvey would be illogical and foolish if
on the, one hand lie [ireachcd ill feeling and hatred between the two
rare? and then w-ni. bac!-; upon all this and allied himself v.dth the
Kn Klr.x Klan.

of their own ro.'scicnccs they slviU surely not see salvation.
Let nic implore all mcmlicil, divisions and friends of the Uni-

push forth the cause of our great movement. _Now is the ^unc for
eveiy man and woman to stand [loyally by this organization. What-
soever might !iayc been the difTdrcrnce of opinions in local divisions or
vour diss:iti-fac1ion, you must 'stand unitedly as millions of m*";m-

kncr';.ing at llic dour. It is tor us. unitedly to stand togctiitr and rr.ce;

Let all members come together more than ever everywhere anc
prove to the wurld tb.at r.ot b}" misrepresentation, but b}- fair

plav and justice shall the great problem of race be settled.


It is hoped that the white people of America and of the world

will take no cognizance of the vicious lies and misrepresentations of


these wicked Negroes. Everyone will realize that the Universal Negro
Improvement Association preaches the doctrine of human brother-
hood and the love of all mankind.
All divisions are requested to send in their support immediately
to "the parent body and help to push the fight for the triumph of the
Universal Negro Improvement Association over its enemies.
With very best wishes I liave the honor .to be
Your obedient servant,

found that the nef:ro could he used to a great advantage for cheap

up to the point of demanding social equality, the v;hite man t/111 pull

himself away from the negro entirely, then the negro will be left

alone to die in this country for the v;ant of employment- So O'.'.^ETTS

He further said, "l v/lll advise all negroes to stay out of all v/hite

men's unions and Socialist parties, for even Abraham Lincoln aa d his

bunch didn't mean the negro any good when he set the 4,000,000 negroes

free, for this Government is made up of white men, and they want to

At Rev/ Yorlc. n>Y .

The writer intervlev/ed ELI GAHCIA, who stated the reason

he did not have YSARVmOD, 2nd Asst, •ieoretar^ of the U.H.I.A,

testify in his oase on Wednesday, L'arch 14th, was that YEAIITOOD was

trying to get hack his position as Asst. Secretary of the U.D.I.A.

from which G.AHVTT had discharged TrTA^^OOD hecause he told the truth

ahout the minutes regarding the membership loan. GAHCIA ,said.

"Kow, I have nothing to give YEARV/OOD in return for his kindness to

me, and hesldes, he is out of a Joh, and the only way I can get

even with GAHTHT is to put him in prison if I. can. I saw my

lawyer yesterday (i'riday, Llarch 15th) and he"' said he did not know

if it would pay me to appeal my case. Horever, I will let you know

what I do.**

On Uaroh 18th the writer attended a meeting held at

liberty Eall, at 8:00 P. U., the speakers for the U.H.I.A. being

B.X.TOSTi:!J, TIUZT.^ P'KHHTS and 1I.A3CU3 GAHVSY,

POSTUZj' stated in his speech, anonc other things, that the

chite man is dishonest, as he steals all the jrood thintrs allotted

to the negro.

UARCUS 0.\3.T^Y Stated in

in spirit as the EXAUSUEI? themselves, and this Crovemment is only

blaffins- when they say they are going to put an end to the £1lA.Q« He

farther said that he was not fighting the ZLAU^ GA5VE7 further

said, "The white man will never fool WAHCUS GARYFy —I know them and
I know that the negro will never he safe until the negro gets a

country of his own--a Government of his own, for the negro is not
safe in this country. In another ten years the white man will have

driven the negro out of this country. I spoke in Washington last

Sunday night and there were six Congressmen at the meeting. They

said they approved of the methods of the U.H.I.A. and would indorse

the plan very soon. I will speak at this Hall on Tuesday and

Wednesday nights, then I will leave the city for a few days. Vrtien T

return to Hew York there will he a ^reSL meeting at Carnegie Eall."


There were 800 present at the meeting tonight, and it is

the writer's opinion that halt of the men present carried guns or

knives.

ieii what he knows to save himself, which he will do if IB. GAHVE?

FACTS DEVELOI^D:

At HqT7 Yor!-:, n.Y « ' '

Continuing the above matter, the writer attended a trial


of ELI GiPCIA at the V/ashington Heights Conrt, E. T. City. Among
Other things, GAHVKY^tried to prove that GASCIA. had forged five
_ checks against the U.H.I.A. amounting to |175.00, hut having failed

to estahllah the charge, the case against GA2CIA was dismissed.


EcTever. GARCIA will be tried os ^l^ednesday, I^aa?ch 14th, 1925, in

Special Sessions Court, Part One, on a charge of fcrgery ^rou^t

by GAHVSTY.

The writer interviewed H. VIUTOn PIUL'L'EH. Bureau of

Publicity of the U.G.I.A. and PITCHER advised that he was leaving


tb5 TJ.r.I.A. today as he and AIT? L^'03 (GASV^T'S secretscry) could

not get alon^. Pir:::.??? said he fcnev; all about the crooked traaasc-

tions of G--J:7rr regardir.r the XF-r,!..! and the EX.lCr SHXR LUZT,

and could do G.'J^T^Y grave harm if he so desired.

On li'arch 15th the vrriter attenaed the 7th District Court

U.H.T.A. for an §600. membership loan^to the U*5?^I*A....-.sn.d..^,v500.

for one year with interest, with the

privilege of the lender of the money

to demand the amount loaned to the ^


^ :
March 15.1923,. Anarew If. Battlq,

U«U«I*A* fifteen days after the expiration of the year. GABCIA


testified that this membership loan to the U.H.I.A. really covered

GARCIA' S salary, as the U.E.I.A. was not ahle to pay the salaried

men, therefore G^YTf called this past due salary a memhershlp

loan to the U,I7*T«A*

6AHCIA also stated that the minutes of the nights from


January 15th to 19th, 19^2 of the TJ.U.I.A. had "been destroyed:

that YEAHVfOOD, End Asst. Asat.' Secretary took these minutes, which

would Bh.o'sr that each lender of money was to lend same to the n.S.I.J

for as long a period as they could spare It, and GARCIA loaned

his $800, for one year. GAHCIA further said that VEHGTL nHXTAlTS,

counsellor of the U.H.I.A, caused him (GAHCIA) to read the minutes

of the meeting recor3ed on January 19th, 1922, looking for away to

evade paying If3. ZASau the 05CO. the U.B.I. A. had recelTed from

L'AIICUS a.i^VTT said that ELI GAHCIA had loaned the §800.

for five years; that he fGAHVEY) signed the hooks in hlank form

and when any len3er of money came to the office to lend money,

GARCIA 7rauld fill in the time when the money was loaned to the

V.B.I.A. and that every officer loaned mbney to the IT.n.I.A. as a


memhershlp loan for five years. However, the court then found that

some of the officers had membership loans which did not state how

long the money was to he loaned to the TJ.U.I.A., Which proved that

GARVEY was lying. The oourt thea asked GAEVEY If that was the

hunflrea "before they were f llle 3 out, GA3VEY ausrered that his

office was a very busy one and he signed the not«3 and loans that

way to save time. The Judge then asked G^YEY If he thought he

'
was saving time hy signing papers that way, as, after all, he would
f
have to sign them, and It would not take any more time to sign a -

paper after It was made out. GAEVZ7 did not'reply to this. The

Judge then asked VIHGIL UllXI/iSS, If GAHCIA got Judgment, If there


was any chance to collect. ^ILLZkVS said, "That Is a question."
6AHTCY iad PRSD A. TOOT awear that GAHCIA'S loan was

for five years and that there were no minutes tafcen hy the U.U.X.A,

from the 15th of Jaiuary to the 19th. POLSTO also swore to the ahove

1©S. n. 7# I3A7I3 said a.he wa« out of tosaa -at the time of the above
;

mentioned meetings, and G. L. GAIUS said he also was out of toxn at

that time. GARVHY denied that he was provisional president of .

Africa or that he haa veto power in the U.H.T.A. Harever, he said


I'

that he directed the ler.^th of 1 1=2 for the officers to loan money to

loaned money to the U.R.I.A. could colleot it at any time after the

expiration of the fifteen days, and that some of the loans were

from one to five years.

ffUj^IAU FERRVS told the writer that GARYEY came to hin

priated to the Parish offioirls for this purpose.

He suggested that in view of the fact that HAI:US,

in hla statement to an agent of this Department, stated that he

was present at the church vrhere DR.ZASOIT had lectured on the

night that he was Icillcd, that this ralght he brought to the

him that the cost of transfer might be minimized. He stated

GAH7EY,

Jew Tork were hampei^jsd in their instraction in the Pnhlic Schools

because the books were written by white people, which put white

as extent that even the negro soldiers In Africa haa learned not to

ehoot into a negro riot in Africa. He sa d there was a riot in the

mining part of South Africa a few months ago, aod when the Captain
gave orders to charge, the soldiers raised their hands to attention,

and then it was that the white man' was ahle to see that negroes would

not shoot negroes. That is the way the 0.N.I,A. is using its influeaca

and this week is the time for every nan to shoisr his colors, as this

Is the critical monent for the U#D.I»A«

ADAIIS said he would tell regarding the trouhle the delegates

orer the border line so we couldn't get hacfe to our owa country. ^7e

received letters from some one over there witlx bc named sl^nftd to

same, and we had to separate on our way hack home, so we could not

be located. Then to see how you memhers at headquarters are divided

isa very sad thing. If you have something against GAHVSY, do not

take it out on the U.E.I.A*, hut rather face KH. GiSVBY. If we

that a violation of -^jie Internal Hevenua Laws had been committed by

both the 3l£ ck Star Line and llarcias Garvey personally, the former by

submitting a fraudulent return for the year 1921 and the latter by

falsifying his incomo for the same period-


iigenta at that time took the matter up unofficially

with representatives of Hugh iijQuillan, Special Agent in Charge,

Intelligeme Unit, Federal Building, Kew York, who advised that ever
sime the arrest ai3i indictment of Garvey, et al, they had been con-

sidering taking up the matter of the income tax returns of both the

corporation and the individual officers but had been deferring same

until the accountants of this department could release the books. Upon

being advised that our accotintants were practically through with their

XI.n.I.A. headquarters in Xiheria next fall, and further stated that

then the U.H.I.A. will Join v/ith Japan against the United States. *

He also said, "Japan has a large numher of secret soldiers all ready,

-and as soon as GAH7ZY can put his feet in Liberia, he will give the

alarm to the U.K. I. A., then Japan will call her soldiers to join the

U.n.I.A."

The writer had a talk with KLI GARCIA, who advised that

the U.n.r.A. had paid him o700. on the account" of ^1500. he had against

them, and that they will maice a payment of $450. on the 12th and

*450. on the 23rd of this month. GA3CIA said that it was a mistake
for GAHVTY to hrag ahout he ing in with the Judge in his case in

an open speech, and this has harmed GA3VSY more than anything else.

GAHCIA said he knev/ it was true, hnt G-^J^.VTY should have kept it

to himself.

GAHTTTY today settled the case with U. S. P03?U1.;. GAHCIA

said that GAHV?:Y had received v500.

Ibat the negro race was the most desirahle race on the earth and that

MARCUS GAHVT? was the picked man ot God, seat to lead this down trodden

Of the U.R.I.A. that kept things going. The. writer told URS. mVIS it

was too bad that GAHTCT made the mistake of using the mails to carry

Bra. DAVtS said, "Yes, and I v;as one who sold stock after U3. GAHV^nr

be so serious. There are many things 13H. GaHVST has done wrong, but

V

Secretary General cf the U.IM.A. informed Agent that he had resigned

owed him v5,000, back salary and up until the past fev/ weeks the

"HSG30 ;V03LD" had been publishing an advertisement to the effect that

their tailor shop was in a position to mate suits up to any quantity

and that Gj'VHVET was receiving money for making suits, also dolls, 6tc<

These statements, on investigation, have been proven to be

absolutely false, as GAHVTY has neither the facilities nor the


materials fq,r filling orders offered. It is probable that there is

a violation", of the postal 1&\73, icascuch as it ha- been ascertainei

that a^.TTT has been dealing directly throu,p-h the mails. ::he

aprroxlrate amount cf noney received by .. CArv^Y each month is bet'.veen^

speak there and that "hie meeting must be broken iip or he must not

return to Uew York alive'\ (meaiing 3asonl» Jeffries states he and

menihers of the African. Legion succeeded in breaking up the meeting,

which was held at one of the Philadelphia churches, but Sason was left

unharmed, subsequently Jeffries was informed that the ijew York Police

were looking for him, so he cone to He w York and saw Garvey, who advised
him to proceed to new Orleans and change his name, Garvey gave him ijlOO,

from the treasury of the U. :t. ,1. A. for the trip. In iiew Orleans,
[

states jetiries, he was inionned by a letter over (Jarvey'a peraouaX j

signature, ths-t '^a.son v/as to spea]-: there on a certain date and instruet-

Ing Jeffries that ''Zasbn hsd turned staters evidence against him, I

(GsTvey) ari ri-.TSt net be allcv;ed to return to "e-.VYork alivs.'' ^hia .


'

letter Jeffries states he. showed to 3EA^SP:ilA2l'!3 and D:rf.'S, the two men

now corn-icted for 32-scn'3 death. It was also shbrra to other mernbers

of the African Legion, hut, states Jeffries, these two men were to do
the killing. Questioned further on i:ay 7th by Agent Mos and the

writer, Jeffries states that uwyer is the man who did the shooting

that Shakespeare was with him and v/hile he did not shoot 3ason, assisted

in every other way possible fn the act,

Jeffries states that he has destroyed the letter from

Garvey, as suggested by Garvey in the letter itself. However, he statos!


I

that if he can now locate l:a?.Y PHIIIC:';, (formerly of 1807 Third Avenue , j
Efltrtimeri. Davis for ray 3-V incl. Garvey

How Tork, but ^vho has now disfflppearad), he will be able to prove

everything. This leads to th^belief that the letter and other papers i

are still in existsnce, probably in. the posseaeion of irary prince, v/ho !

we are at present trying to locate-


Jeffries farther states that if he gains his freedom he

will willingly accompany Government Agents to various large cities and


point 0%^ to them where large quantities of guns and ammunition have

been stored by the branches of the African Legion. He mentions i

particularly ITev; Tork, Philadelphia and v/ashington, D.C. Keu himself, he

states, made maiy of the purchases and states that in Hev; York he was |

accompanied on these trips by iJ^ITiL J. '.Tll.I.Iil.IS, Harvey's attorney,

and YIHTOIJ PLUt'-LT-ii, publiuity Agent for the U.iI*I'*Aw ?7ith these men

he sta-^?3 he went to an Army Supply Store on 42d Street, IJew York,

he states that he was negotiating for the purchase of bombs from an

ammunition concern at 5th and liarket streets, but that prices were too

high. These net^otiations ware made either in the name of RjU.rus or

J^^TIT^S. At this seme place he also purchased quantities of

'ammunition. ?he plan, in general, was to make small purchases in

various places and send them to the U,N#I«Ao Headquarters. They v;ere
1

then split up and divided smong trusted members of the Xegion, who, j

after taking a solemn oath of fidelity, removed the ammunition to his ;

-I
j

-4-

Mortiner J. Davis for i:ay 3-7 incL. Garvey

home. If at any time circurnstances made the removal of these goods.

Other members were Bntrusted with theni. The purpose of these purchases,

states Jeffries was to have a supply of gans and ammunition on hand '

in case of race riots, Garvey, •he states, personal^ supervised many j

of these transactions and v;as aV.vays kept informed of same. In fact,

much of the money for the piircHa^es came direct from his office, in

Philadelphia, states Jeffries, DR. PRAHCIS and 115.313 riHG have full

Informat'ien of such woifc. In ijew Tork a fello\7 named PHILI.I? (last

name] is In charge and Jeffries states he has, seen large quantities of ;

ammunition in his hone; in Detroit a man named lOHD Is the one in charge,

Jeffries refused to sign any statements, in fact will not

talk v.'hen notes are made of his* reraarics, ,He states hovjever^ that he

will take the witness stand against GParvey if there is any assurance
of his receiving a light sentence in the State courts. Also, he is

worried over the fact that many of his admissions may lead to his
»

arrest in various cities.

The officers of the U.U.I.A, in Hew York have learned of

^ffries* appearance in the United States Attorney's office here, and

our urdercover man has reported a move -on foot to bribe him into

silence. Jeffries his stated to us, ho.vever, that he will refuse such

advances. He showed me upon my last visit, a letter from w.j* ?RAI!CI3

of Philadelphia, urging him not to testify against Garvey and promisin^T


him aid after he goes to prison.

Upon suggestion of irr, iiattuck this office wired IJevv

Orleans asking whether there ;vas any possibility of D./Y^^H or

SH.'VT^^P^a:^': talking at this time, but was in turn advised that thoir

to interview them until after the result is knorm.

FACTS DEVELOPED:

Ackcov/ldgment is nade of receipt of the Director's

letter rnentioned belov;, which refers to information furnished the

writer by John Jeffries regarding the purchase of guns and ariTiunitlon

by and for the ".IT.T.i. of which Sarvey is Presidsat.

*.7hen Jeffries was interviev-ed on several occasions

by both the ^vriter 2nd ,igent .3jnos, he was pressed for details. Hov;-

ever, Jeffries is practically illiterate and has a very poor nemoiy


ir

for nan*es and addresses. His continual plea was that he be given an
i>

opport-inity to point out to fjoverrcient agents the storage places and

per^:::3 ^;ivin^ t::5 rr^ter l-ilj -^^tiCiie !•

before Judge Galley in the state courts on the charge of 1st degree

assault. Thus, on !!onday last, he was sentenced by that Judge to

from four to eight years in State's prison, Hew Yorlc*

Agents have been

continuously engaged in the prepar-

ation of the mail fraud case against


fjarvey, et al, and have been unable

.to See Jeffries since his sentence* ^

Ing his conviction, in which he expresses continued willingness to

assist the OovemirieTit. In view of this, it will probably be just as

Well for agents to visit Jeffries at Sing Sing when the Garvey-case

is over to obtain the information s:2r;^2^ct~c^ h:/ the director.

I might stat^ that \gent ,imos and the writer have

endeavored to chec^ up some of the purchases v;hich Jeffries claims to

have made in !Tew Toric, hov/ever, without tangible ^result. The

Winchester ims people distinctly remember him having made the many

purchases he claims but state that they were cash transactions; that

Jeffries al-.vays carried them away himself and the 7.!\I. A.#, its

This case oricinatj^d at •
Charles J. .Scully for Jtme 14, L92 3. oarvey

l35th 3tr3et, fa densely populated iTegro "District'. That in the

cellar of this house the guns are sail to be stored under a concrete

flooring.

Boulin informed me he had related this story, ooth to

police Lieutenant ja-nes j, 'jegan and to Special x?ent Ja'nes :, \nios,

prior to coraing to this office, and that he, Boulin, was of "he opinion;

he ir.l,<ht be in a position to locate the place where the guns are stored

as well as the identity of the r:ian suspected of stealing anU storing

sane.

During the afternoon a second interview was. held with

Boulin, at .vhich lieutenant fJegan was present, and v;hen questioned,

3oulin adnitted he could not add any further information to his story

other than he gathered from his conversations with "'Cissy'', that th-.

man suspected of stealing and storing the guns is a .-rest Indian, who

was born in Xinstead, Jamaica.

Boulin at this point stated that in order for him to

secure the desired information it would be necessary to have some of

r.ii c jratives or.^ 'i red on the case, and ha ni^rced that he receive sor.o

compensation for their services, and when iniormisd by both liouto'iant

Oegan and myself that it would be impracticable to do this, he promised


»

to voluntarily loan his personal services in establishing the identity

of -^cissy.

is arrin.^ed, "Moulin was seated in the court room v;herein

flarvoy and the others are bolnr tripH bo foro 7. }. Judjo :'acl^, the

purpose being to have him designate ''Cissy" to me, so 'hat i in turn


-5-

Charles J. Scully for June U, 1923, rjarvey

--could- designate her to Agent Covello and -pecial 'ir^ployee 854, in

order to htxve them keep her under surveillance to ascertain her

identity and with whon she connected.

A^ent jaT^es *";. inoa designated a vio^.:an belirived to he .

''Cissy", and the aforementioned agents immediately took up surveillance

on her as she moved in and ahotyt the court room. Loiter in the ray

30ulin informed A^rent Aipos that he v;as mistalcen in this woman and that

she was not the one who had spoken to him of the njan hereinbefore

mentioned. Boulin further promised he vrould make efforts to locate

this woman in Harles^ or in and aboi;t the court room, and if successful

would notift' "tiiis office immediately, so that she might be placed undsi

surveillance.

It Ig to be noted that 3oulin»s Identity as a Private

Detective is known to practically every ITegro in Harlem, and it migrht


possibly be a move on the part of Sarvey to have "Rculin advised oi the

alleged stealing and storing of the .^runs, neverthelass this matter

"ill be follo.;ed jur:"'.:r, in crder "o veri;^' t,"i^ iiz^cr'.'.'^ticn :-*oj-:L"'^Z.

:'orti!r.or J. DaviJ for June 18, 19, 19ri5. 3lacl-: star Line.

The feolin;; in the lle^ro section of llev/ Yorl: durin,^ this

tT2j.l has been oiitxer.ely tense as between both ./hites and 3lacl:3, and

aiion^ the Blac::3 the-selvesi During the course of the trial a iner:^.ber

j
of Crarvey's African le.^ion, oy name linous Charles, uaa arrested for

I
threatenin:; f.vo of o-ir witnesses and isen-enced to a tv;o months* tern

I
in the penitentiary by Jud^e Kacl:, for Criminal contempt. After the

verdict of the jur;: last night sei'eral hundred fanatical followers of

Garvey gathered outside the post Office Building and it v;as, necessary

to remo-e 0-arvey through a side door into a patrol to avoid trouble.

It 7/as only the presence of uniformed police Officers that kept those

who happened to find cut ;vhich door he would be taacen frcn. thct

prevented a serious riot. One fellow, v;ho is Icncv/n to most of our

agents oy description, but not name, as one of Harvey's body guards,

made open threats on the street outside the ?03t office Building that

he sould 'V-et the:::", but he was pullei av;ay by the crcv;d before the

police could =:rab him.

After the verdict was delivered and the jury had left,

that ':\o is 7od*3 disciple on earth, and that his conviction would be

uver.gji. Judge racl: is being ^gjarded as he has received v;ritten i

threats.

It is n.y p^rs cn:^l oi-inion thiit purvey is even more oi a I

T.enace nov; since his conviction o' ;in bofort"?. for durin: the coiurso cf
yortiner j. Davis for June 18-19, IS'25. Black Star Line.

this trial he has chov/n himself to be a person v;ho v;o-j.ld stop at

"^Dthin^ for" revon^e, "

llhe group of fanatical 'jest Indians that v;or3hip

"arvey like a ''Tod'', have shov.'n themsolves capable and v/illin:- to ro

most anything he requests. The police, through Lieutenant jarr.es j,

3egan, are endeavoring to check up now on the reported storage cf arrr.s

and amniunition in this city by Oarvey adherents.

In view cf the situation I '.vould strongly su^gc-st that

the Immigration Departrr.ent be communicated v/ith so that a warrant of

, deportation may be issued for (Jarvey to tai:e effect at the terrr.iri-itior.

Of his sentence, and that a copy of the warrant be lodged v;ith the

7arden of the U. S. penitentiary at Atlanta, (Jarvey admitted on the

Witness stand that he was born in Jamaica, British 'jest Indies, :ind I

have in zs^'" possession, certified copy of an affidavit v;hich he I'iled

srith the ',7ar Departr.ent , to the effect that he v;as born at 3t, x^-^-^^^

Bay, Ja:?.aica, "^; ;, I., and that he :.ar.e to the United States in 1916

from Jainaica, on a i:orv;e2:ian vessel. This affidavit further ctatee

that at the tir.e of filing, (1917), he had not declared his intention
to beccnie a ". i. Citizen, Cn the stand at the trial of thi:-: caae ':-_-3

eciinittea •Ithou'rh he had tr.::en out first paners he has never

conpleted hiz cit l^er.^hip-

It is agent's understand infr that under the lav; v/hich

pern:its the :}ovei'n.r.o:it to deport aliens who commit felonies v;ithin f ive |

years after their arrival in the United States, v/hen the crime is a I

continuous or.e over a Ic-njthy poricd, the- date of its inception ij zho

one on which the l-nm.i-ration v/arrant is bajod. if this is correct it

3^ r

rortiner J. Oavis for Jvr.e 18,^ 19, 1925, ^lack Star Line.

"v;duld ii-G-oear "that the" time "cf" the coTTjnission^ c:e the---GrlrnG hy 'yarve-j

v;ould start from th-^ -' ata of the incorporation of the 3lacl: itar Line,

v;hich v;as Jime 26, 1919, about three years after his arrival in the

united states, and it is upon this j^round that arent is asking a

I
deportation warrant "be issiied.

j
If agent's understanding of this statute is correct, and

the Director helie^-es it -.vould he advisahle to cpmunicate with the

officials at ^Ilia island, and v;ill so instruct, ajent v;ill do so.

Eov/ever, it is believed more e:-cpediti0U3 for th,T Director to t2::e this

niatter uu v;ith the Irnni^rration authorities in -jaahin-rtcn.

..crsocv^LOP^o: At IJev7 Yoric:

Judge liacji today sentenced i:arcu3 Garvqy to a term of five

years in the j^edaral penitentiary and fined hln one thcoss-nd dollars anc

costs of the trial. He remanded him to the Tomhs, ,tlew York City, v/ith- I

out bail, pending the filing hy Garvey's attorneys of a writ of error. \

A period of fotir months v;as granted for the filing of this writ inasmizc:-:

as the Eiinutes of the case have not been written as yet and it will tal:.

quite some tine to procure them.

^on Garvey's ovth request the Judge instructed the U. S. Attor

ney to iaa>e application to the Attorney G-eneral for permission to have

Garvey serve his term in Leavenworth, i^ansas, Instead of Atlanta, Ga.

John Jeffries, alias Ssau ^.anus, who has been referred to

many tinies in previous reports, was brought froa Sing Sing prison on t,

writ and talien before Judge irack. Asst, U. S» Attorney I!attuck stated

Judge "ack, ho-.vever, refused to he.-ir the

testimony, stating that it could have

littla if any influence upon the sen-

tence*
After sentence was pronounced, U. S. Attorney nattuck. Agent scull;'

Agent AJ303 and the writer interviewed Jeffries in Ijr. liattuckfe office

and went over with him the details of the shooting of Dr. Sason in Hew

Orleans* He confirmed hi3 previous statements in every respect and states

he is still willing to he a witness for the Government in any proseoution

they may enter against Garvey or anybody else for 2a30n»s death as a Gov*

emnent witness. It is again suggested by Asst. U. $• Attorney Mattuck

that the Kew Orleans office roa^e an effort to obtain fron either Sliakes

peara or V^QT a statement regarding their knowledge of Marcus Garvey's

part in ordering the shooting of Br. Bason. If such a statement can be

obtained the U. S. Attorney here will immediately enter charges against

Carvey for complicity in the shooting of a Governnent witness and it is

believed that with the statement of either Dwyer or ShaJcespeare and Jef-

fries a con-viction will follow.

> in the writer's report of the 19th inst. wherein it was suggested

that the Department institute proceedings through the Bureau of imnigra-


i

tion fcr the deportation of uarcus Garvey at the conclusion of his sen- \

[tenoe, it was stated that Garvey came to the United States in 1916. It i

Ino'-::? occurs to A:ent that C-arvey left the United States in ^bruary, 192lj

lend after «n e3:t3n3ive tour through the v;e3t Indies and Central A-3rica,

ret-arnad to the United states via the port of IJew Orleans on or about the

9th day of July, 1921. on that occasion he was given a thorotzgh esamina-':

tion by the Innigtation officials and a copy of this examination can un-

doubtedly be found in the files of that Department from the information

ftirnished.

I am informed by Asst. U. s. Attorney Thomas who handles irinigra-


-3-

tion cases in this district, that in deportation proceedings the last '

date of entry into tha cotmtry of the alien is the one upon which deport-

ation is based and is considered hia last date of entry even if he has !

maintained a residence while absent. Under these ciroiuiistances, there I

is undoubtedly no question that the crime for which Garvey has been con-!

victed easily comes within the five year period gf the Immigration stat-
I

utes following the arrival of the alien in this country, i would there-;

fore request that when the matter is submitted to the Department of labo

these facts be called to their a^^tention*
