SECRETARY JOHNSON CONFERS WITH PRESIDENT HARDING
Colored Slayer of White Barely Escapes Chair; Gets Life Verdict Lexington, Ky., April 12. - William Dunn, Colored, was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of G. W. Abbott, 58 years old, Owen County, on the night of April 3, in Circuit Court late this afternoon. Several hours were necessary before the jurymen could agree, the first ballot standing eight for death penalty and four for life imprisonment. The verdict was returned to Judge Kerr shortly after 3 o'clock this afternoon and sentence immediately pronounced. Ten minutes later Dunn was on his way to the penitentiary in custody of Sheriff Waller Rodes and deputies to prevent any demonstration. Dunn was rushed to the penitentiary on the night of the shooting, after persons had threatened the officers. Since that time he has been confined in the penitentiary and was not brought here until 8 o'clock this morning. No public announcement was made that the trial was to be held nor any record entered on the books of the court as to when the trial would be held. Testimony occupied less than two hours, and arguments were completed before 11:30 o'clock.
CONGRESS SHOULD STOP LYNCHING, SAYS HARDING IN MESSAGE
(Special to the Leader.)
Washington, D. C., April 14.--In refernce to lynching in the United States, President Harding in his first message to the new Congress which convened here Tuesday, said the following:
"Congress ought to wipe the stain of barbaric lynching from the banners of a free and orderly representative democracy. We face the fact that the many millions of people of African descent are numbered among our population, and that in a number of states they constitute a very large proportion of the total population.
It is unnecessary to recount the difficulties incident to this condition, nor to emphasize the fact that it is a condition which cannot be removed. There has been suggestion, however, that some of its difficulties might be ameliorated by a humane and enlightened consideration of it, a study of its many aspects, and an effort to formulate, if not a policy, at least a national attitude of mind calculated to bring about the most satisfactory possible adjustment of relations between the races, and of each race to the national life. One proposal is the creation of a commission embracing representatives of both races, to study and report on the entire subject. The proposal has real merit. I am convinced that in mutual tolerance, understanding, charity, recognition of the interdependence of the races, and the [maintenance of?] the rights of citizenship lies the road to righteous adjustment.

Homes Burn While Operator Sleeps Is Claimed Several families became homeless from the results of a fire which broke out in the home of George Mundy early last Monday morning. Mr. Mundy who was asleep on the second floor was aroused by the cry of little William Turner who also lived in the house and Mr. Robert Easley who lives at 622 South Clay.
The fire had gained headway before the fire department could be reached. It is claimed that three calls were made before the sleeping telephone operator could be aroused to duty. Several occupants of the homes that were destroyed were forced to vacate out of windows in their night clothes. It is the belief that the fire was the job of a firebug.

URBAN LEAGUE TO CONTINUE HEALTH CAMPAIGN The Louisville Urban League will continue the Health campaign which was held in Louisville last week as a part of the general and nation-wide Health Week among Colored people. In the opinion of Mr. Carter the Executive Secretary of the local Urban League a Health Campaign to be effective must be continuous. The League will conduct Health meetings in every district in the city and will illustrate these meetings by moving pictures and slides. Block visiting will also be a part of the program which will last throughout the year. The Urban League office in this city reports little or no change in the employment situation. There are, said Mr. Carter at least 2000 colored men in the city of Louisville who are out of work and the plants which are open are running in a large measuse on part time.
The newly organized male chorus of the N St. Baptist Church thrilled the house with their beautiful songs of Zion. We wish them much success.
