(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, June 6. Jack John
son's title to the heavyweight chani
pkmship of the world was the basic
theme tonight in a sermon preached
by Hooker T. Washington to thw negro
men's ilnininess league of Now York.
The fighter's name was not mentioned
howevd.
"In the last analysis," Dr. Wash
ington told hl hearers, "success is
what counts. Success, despite race or
color, makes the man on top reap;t
vim. What the world wants is suc
cess. Hold up your successes; don'l
herald your gloom.
"Yoi remember when a certain
mamber of our race went to Australia
to do a Job; warnings were sounded
that the color lino would be drawn.
The question was hurled at him 'Arn't
you afraid In that white man's coun
try?' "Now suppose he had gone to Aus
tralia crestfallen, saying that he wis
negro and much oppressed, would
he have won; it is a Oodsend that
he did win. It shows t the negro
race what determination can do.
"The time has eomn when a negro
must get a commercial, business bjiu
economic footing, and get It in. this
K-Tleratlon or Tall In ever getting it
'ummerce, the dollar, draws no color
line. The man who produces what
somebody else wants will get thr
trade."

(By AiwoHated Press.)
TALLAlkASSEE. Ma., June .
Dangling from a limb In the county
Jail yard and within sight of the
dume of Florida's capital, the lifeless
body of Maik Morris, colored, greeted
the people of this city this morning.
Already condemned to death for the
murder of William Langston, late
sheriff of this county, this rtwgro would
have, within a. few weeks, paid the
penalty of his crime with his life, at
the hands of the law. A mob of not
more than fifteen men decreed other
wise however, and at three o'clock
this morning Morris was dragged from
his cell In the ja and strung to the
limb of a trxe within the Jail enclos
ure. As if to add emphasis to their
lawlessness, the masked, band emptied
a round of cartridges Into the llfchrMi
body of the negro and rode away
without the slightest molestation.
Sheriff Houston was In Georgia and
when the lynchers arrived at the Jail
they brought the jailer to the door
with the ruse that they had a prison
er, overpowered him, took his kvys,
secured the negro Morris, locked the
Jailer in Morris' cell and soon accom
plished thfelr work.
Feigning Insanity.
Lately Morris has been acting very
strangely, and It Is believed that fear
that the negro would attempt to es

sanity prompted the act of the mob
which-this morning took the law Into
their own hands to avenge the death
of Sheriff Langston.
Lanfrstosj was killed by (he negro
