President Sims in introducing,

tradition, it becomes a ne- j

the world, and itr stands in danger

American Indian leit no continuous

No other race in history has

t^vil War, Colored Americans have i
obtained a place in the heart of
onhe world's greatest nation in- .
- comparable with that of any oth_er
minority in the'country.
\ *' The holdings of the Negro in
property have arisen from a~few,
"millions to nearly two billions'
of dollars. They have more
than 500 3 educational institutions
above the high schools.
The Negro has become a factor,
" Of unquestioned'" impoptunoo in?

Kidnapped for Three Days and
Attacked by Eleven White
Men
GlRL 14 YEARS OLD
Kept in a Barn at Bailey Avenue,
Without Food Against
Her Will
. New York, Feb. 12?The. National'Association
for the Advancement
of Colored People, 69
Fifth Avenuey today announced
that it had retained Alan Dingle,
colored attorney of New York,
rbb<^assoeinted with the - prosecution
of 11 white men who kidUappeTl
Tpr three7 days and attacked
aT 14 year old colored girl
in the Brorrx.-^
Thp colored girl, who is now
.ill in a hospital suffering from
double ])neumonia a?> a consequence
of?exposure, was followed
by three men when she alighted
way and 231st Stret. The 3
men a?re alleged to have taken
the girl to a barn at Bailey Ave.,
where she was held for three
days against her will, without
food, and assaulted b^-11 men.
Her plight was made known
when a citizen informed'the police
of the suspicious ..actions of
inui entering ond lfflnving the
barn. The girl had come from
Virgiania and was stopping with
an aunt in Harlem. Her mother,
who lives an Virginna, cannot
come to the girl because of young
.children in the family who must
be taken care of.
The N. A. A. C. P. is working
in coperation with_the Prosecuting
Attorney and the Children's
Society. As the girl is dangerously
ill, an effort is being made
to obtain from treina^statem^ft>
which can be used in prosecuting
her eleven attackers for murder
should the gifT die, "The (Jbildnms'
Society "has informed the
N. A.. A. C. P. that the case against
the men will be pushed to
the limit. When the case comes
to trial it will be necessary for
the girl's mother to-^Cbm? from
Virginia to testify as to her age.
bear the cost of the mother's
journey.- * . ?,.
In conection with the case,
Jarffes Weldon Johnson, Secretary
of the N. A.- A.C. P., made
the following' statement:
P. has been compelled to forego
giving assistahce rrrarntrmber of
cases as atrocious as this one.
NOwT however, wittrthe Defense
Fund so generously contributed,
which has been set aside and
held in trust solely for legal
defense, the Association is enabled
to widen its legal activities
in behalf of the race." -
