Denver Star

-Let All Colored Americans and Friends Protest to Washington Against Post Office Segregation The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. Number 5 The Colorado Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church was held by Bishop H. B. Parks of Chicago, last week at Albuquerque, N. M., and the reports rendered showed that the several charges are enjoying a healthy growth. From almost every appointment a substantial increase in membership was reported. The adherents of Allen showed their loyalty to the faith by sending up to the conference the largest financial report in its history. The receipts of the conference footed up more than $3,000, of which $600 for the conference missionaries. Our local churches were not a whit behind in their reports; Campbell sending $145.50 for Dollar money and Shorter reporting for dollar money, $440, and for all purposes over $6000. So well pleased were the officers and members of Shorter with the life labors of their pastor that they sent a strong petition to the Bishop asking for the return of Rev. Robert L. Pope. The conference branch of the Mite Missionary Society held its annual session during the conference and the returns ($445.56) were easily in advance of all previous records. The election of officers resultas follows; Mrs. J. P Watson, Pres.; Mrs. J. M. Pope, Vice Pres.; Mrs. Mabel Fallings, Sec'y; Mrs. J. W. Braxton, Treas. The Rev. A. M. Ward gave a good account of his steward ship on the Rocky Mountain district, and in recognition of his faithfulness, he was reassigned for another year. This session of the conference was confronted with a number of grave questions, but the Bishop and members proved themselves equal to the task. The issues were met squarely and bravely and were adjusted in such a way as to maintain a high moral standard for the Church and Ministry. While all the sessions were well attended, the Sunday services come in for special mention. The ordination sermon was preached by Rev. A. M. Ward, and at its close, Bishop Parks ordained Revs. J. B. Perry and S. R. McGinnis Deacons, and Revs. T. H. Wiseman, and T. L. Cate, Elders. At 3:30 p. m. Sunday, the ministers were given their appointments. APPOINTMENTS. Rocky Mountain District, Rev. A. M.

D., at Campbell Chapel the past year, will learn with regret of his transfer, at his urgent request, to a new field of labor in the Kansas conference. Nine years ago Rev. Bray came to the Rocky Mountain conference from the Kentucky conference, where he had served as one of the most successful pastors and presiding elders the connection has ever had. His name, ability, ambition and work had preceded him to the new field he chose on account of health. Three charges viz Pueblo, Phoenix, Ariz., and Denver have enjoyed and profited by his labor and life during these nine years. Few ministers have made a deeper impression up on Denver for ability and consecration than Dr. Bray. The Denver Star has had many pleasant business dealings with him and joins his legion of friends here in wishing him unlimited success in his new home. Purpose of Educational Congress. An educational congress will be held at the Thirteenth Avenue Presbyterian church, Newark, N. J., beginning on Monday evening, Sept. 29. The purpose of the congress is to create a greater desire among Afro-Americans for entering the business arena. N. Barnett Dodson of Brooklyn has been invited to make the principal address on the opening night. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPT. 27. 1913 THE MISSING MEN OF THE WORLD RT. REV. H. B.

Compelled to Marry Negro Girl He Debauched—Chicago Judge Severely Arraigns Wealthy White Man Who Robs a Negro Girl of Her Virtue—No Flaming Headlines, or Venomous Accounts Appear in the White Press. Chicago, Sept. 9.—Last Tuesday was an awful bad day for millionaire George Willis (white), a Grand Boulevard millionaire, who for three years had in his employ Ethel Smith, a comely woman of 27 years, as maid in his bachelor apartment. As water wears away rock, it seems this cultured gentleman's prejudices had vanished and before he was aware of things he was nearing the state of fatherhood and the maidthe mother of his child. Tuesday the climax came when he was hauled into court and made to marry the woman he had wronged. Many a colored man is serving time in Joliet for such acts, and this gentleman can consider himself fortunate that he was sentenced to marry this woman and pay her $35 per week until the child becomes of age. The judge that tried the case made him give a bond of $25,000 and pay the money into court each week or month, as he so desires. While in court, his honor in rebuking the man of wealth said: "Look at you, a man of intelligence, in silks and satins, heir of the ages, taking advantage of this poor illiterate, ignorant girl in this manner. If you were living in the South you would walk off from your prey and not give her a dime if you disposed to do so. But the time is here now when all judges. to get the respect of his community and nation, must give the law as laid down and not as he so feels. The judge sent the prisoner's brother for gold ring and performed the ceremonies in his chambers. Mr. James Carter, 3025 State St., professional bondsman was best man and main witness to the marriage. As the millionaire offender's attorney set up the claim that their client need not pay his victim but $8 or $12 a week, but the judge dissented and said that law was for working men, but the child of a millionarie calls for more. Its station in life required more to raise it. The judge refuse to reduce the bond and the money allotted to the unforunate woman. This case is a celebrated one and one that our daily papers ought to give big headlines after the way they cut up over the Jack Johnson case. This case will not reach the light of day, however, as far as the white papers are concerned. FIVE CENTS A COPY. SEGREGATION AT THE NORTH Fifty-six Negro children, after marching through the streets of Roslyn, L. I., beeiged the high school, demanding admittance and the abolition of the seperate school provided for them by the school trustees. The black children many of whom are from rich families crowded to the windows to watch. Finally one of the Negro parents ordered all the black children back to their own school. Dissatisfaction has been growing in Roslyn among the Negroes because of the segregation of their children in a separate school. Last spring when the abolition of the segregated school was refused by the district school trustees, the Negroes appealed to the State Department of Education. The matter is still pending before that body. The district school superintendent says the protest will be unavailing as the voters of the district have refused to abolish the Negro school. Segregation ordinances of various kinds are being adoptec in various Southern cities, but it seems strange to hear of such a law in force at the North and approved by local sentiment. In Buffalo the one separate school was abolished more than thirty years ago. Since then the Negro children have attended the same schools as the whites without any objection from any one. Moreover there are Negro women in the public schools teaching white children. Roslyn, L. I., has taken a step backward from civilization. ALLIANCE HAS BIG PROGRAM Had there been a nickel show, or a dance, or some insignificant thing at 2630 Welton street, Sunday afternoon, the hall would have been packed. But the civil and legal rights of the Negro were to be protected from the increasing aggressions of the colorphobists. However, the hall was comfortably filled and many good speeches were made by both women and men. Mesdames Thos. Webb, Jane Vernell and Lawyer Townsend and S. H. Tarbet made some very timely remarks. Subscriptions were solicited for the protection fund. Dr. W. A. Jones presided and urged financial action. Dr. De Frantz and other prominent Denver people subscribed. TO THE CLUB WOMEN OF THE CITY.

Caleb Nelson Leaves Large Estate. Caleb Nelson, whose death occurred recently at Allentown, Pa., was well known to many prominent men of both races in Pennsylvania. He put his earnings to good use by investing in real estate. Few persons outside of his immediate family circle knew the amount of his holdings until his will was offered for probate on Nov. 27, when it was estimated at $10,000. Among the bequests made were one to Miss Theresa Stout, a niece of Mr. Nelson, who received $300 and a parlor organ, and another to his intimate friend, Washington Baker, who received a gold watch and a diamond stud. There were other bequests of similar value made to other relatives and friends. Mr. Nelson was born in the south.

Discusses Expert Methods of Solving Many Difficult Problems With Which Publishers Have to Contend—Value of a Good Traveling Agent Who Knows How to Get Results. The paper read by Mr. P. B. Young, editor of the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide, at the recent meeting of the National Negro Press association created much favorable comment among the editors and correspondents who were present. The subject of Mr. Young's paper was "Expert Methods of Extending Newspaper Circulation and the Management of Agents." In discussing this important topic the speaker in part said: Publishers of papers for our people cannot afford to neglect the general news features. As a rule, this is not the field of the weekly publication, but the dailies do not cover in any satisfactory degree news of general interest, such as our national conventions and other meetings. This department of news is being specialized in a very satisfactory manner by Mr. N. Barnett Dodson through the Afro-American page, and many of our papers are using it to great advantage. I am convinced, after sufficient experimentation, that the general news feature is a splendid circulation builder among that large element of discriminating readers who also demand a good editorial page. Aside from the local and general news features as circulation builders there is a number of office methods in use, among which are the prize contests, the premium methods and personal canvassing, in which enters the very knotty problem of agent management. The prize contest is a splendid sort of whirlwind campaign and usually results in a large increase of subscribers when conducted by an expert in € EDITOR P. B. YOUNG. subscription contests. They rarely ever prove to be profitable when conducted by the newspaper management. The prizes must be of sufficient value to create the necessary enthusiasm among capable canvassers. As an example of the efficiency of this method I refer to the contest conducted last spring by the Durham (N. C.) Reformer. The Reformer gave away a piano, a diamond ring and a scholarship as the principal awards. The contest netted an increase of about fifteen hundred subscribers within sixty days and left a handsome profit after paying expenses. The awarding of premiums is a very satisfactory method of obtaining renewals, but as a new subscription getter it has most of the faults of the prize contest. Personally I am opposed to prizes and premiums because I should want my paper to possess in itself enough merit to invite subscriptions. After experimenting with nearly every method known to the business of circulation building I am of the opinion that the house to house, man to man salesmanship is the best method of securing permanent subscribers. Good traveling agents with the ability to cover a lot of ground and possessing the best element of salesmanship are the best circulation builders. On my staff I have one who has written over 5,000 subscriptions—mostly yearly subscribers—with in the past two years. This agent covers a district once or twice a year and invariably gets a renewal from every one whose subscription has expired. Whether it is the salesmanship qualities of the agent or the merits of the newspaper that get the subscribers I am not prepared to say, but I am inclined to the opinion that it is a combination of both. The difficulty in this method is in getting and holding such an agent. In Virginia and North Carolina we have tried very successfully a method of building circulation in the smaller cities and towns. Our plan is to secure an energetic and intelligent local agent and correspondent who knows everybody in the community and is popular with the people. LIGE LANE MAY NOT HANG. Guilt, Petition For Life Sentence. According to an Atlanta (Ga.) report, the first week in September a movement was started by well known and influential white women to prevent the hanging of one Lige Lane, a colored man charged with an offense against a white woman. Acting upon this omen of good will and desire for fair play, Lawyer R. G. Dickerson has petitioned the state prison commission to commute the prisoner's sentence to life imprisonment. Mr. Dickerson told the commissioners that there was grave doubt as to Lane's guilt. Counsel for the condemned man also presented a petition for the commutation of the prisoner's sentence signed by 95 per cent of the white women of Homerville, a town with a population of 437. This is said to be the first time in the history of the state that white women have taken such action in a case of this kind. 100 FOR GARDENING you want good tools if you expect to raise garden stuff that's respectable.

In the Southern fields of Colorado, where there are about 600 to 1,000 Negro miners employed, the para- mount question puzzling them is, whether they should or should not strike. The Negro fully realizes that no strike in this country has succeed- ed in winning a controversy unless that strike was backed up by the great power of public opinion. In other words, the prevailing conditions existing between the employer and employe have had to be such as to convince the public that the employes were not getting what they were en- titled to, from their employers, before the claims of the employe received a favorable verdict from the court of public opinion, ‘The fact that em- ployers, as well as the employe, must be able to show the public that their position is right is the key to the sit- uation and the trump card to be played,-for either side to win the pub- lic’s favor. Have these Negroes who hourly risk their lives underground to get out the coal any complaint to make, no serious differences with their employers, no change in wages or in working conditions to demand, then are they enough interested to strike because union miners are striking. How many Negroes are working in the mines where the union ig fully recognized in Colorado. The Negro never makes anything by strik- ing and sometimes less by taking strikers’ places, so why should he take any part in this coal struggle at alt? This is a clean cut fight between white men and why not let them set- tle their differences without our in- terference? When it is to the em- ployer’s advantage to settle the strike by your elimination, if you were an issue involved, you would be elimin- ated. If permitted to join the union you would be discriminated against within the union, so the Star thinks and advises the Negro to attend strictly to his own work and his own business, Business and all commer- cial organizations are against strikes and the Negro has his job, if nothing else, to lose, for, well he knows, how hard it is to get a good paying steady job. Stick to your post. BUSINESS LEAGUE LAUDED. High Tribute Faid Our Race by John Riper ae One of the most important as well ag enjoyable features of the recent meeting of the National Negro Bus!- ness league, held in Philadelphia, was the visit by invitation to the big store of Mr. John Wanamaker by hundreds of delegates in a body. They were entertained in Egyptian hall, a part of the store which Is devoted to the sale of musical instruments and various works of art. After music and speeches by the Hon. George H. White, Hon. J. C. Napier. Mr, J. H. Blodgett, President Wasb- ington and Vice President Charles Banks on bebalf of the Business league Mr. Wanamaker delivered a very en- couraging address in response. Mr. Wanamaker said in part: “The American people are becoming proud of their Negro brothers and sis- ters, who have proved thelr rights to citizenship. When they can stand up together as you are doing today no praise can be too great for ‘them. “I cannot remembey when this plat- ota tae uaa open craters distin guished body of men, and I came here simply to sit among you as one of the family. “This hall has held many meetings, but never one like this. I believe the story of this gathering should be sét down in history to offset the story of William Loyd Garrison and his treat ment on this spot over half a century ago. “Iam one of those who would like to see colored women In the offices of the various business houses in our cities. They should be equipped to take theit places in the stores as stenographers easbiers and tlerks.” Named For Great English Statesman. In 1853 the Cincinnati conference of the M. E. church decided to establish a college for the higher education of the colored race. In 1856 Tawana Springs (sweet water), a summer resort three miles from Xenia, in Greene county, was purchased and named Wilberforce university in honor of the great Eng- lish statesman and benefactor of the colored race, William Wilberforce. {Thus far, over a half century, Oblo has been contributing ber quota of support toward higher education for <fro- Americans. cael ea Lawrence Hex’s Life Sentenc® Commuted. The Sfate Board of Pardons recently commuted the life sentence of Lawrence Hex, colored, of Pueblo to thirty years. Hex was the first pet- son to be tried under the new capital punishment law pass- edinrgor. Hex in a fit of jealousy at Pueblo, shot and killed two persons, a man and a woman, in the home of the woman, who was killed, but the man killed was not the husband. No lawyer would take the case for they were sure Hex would hang. Law- yer Townsend had located in Pueblo three months before the killing and had cleared a colored eieier for killing two white men, brothers, in a ho- telatthat place. The court appointed Lawyer Townsend against his protest to defend Hex, who had no money and no friends, being a stranger there from Fort Worth, Tex., and was very unpopular. On account of the killing of the two people Lawyer Townsend defended Hex for eight days, putting up oneof the hardest legal battles in the history of Pueblo. Hex was convicted and sentencedto hang. Mo- tion for a new trial was over ruled; Lawyer ‘Townsend in- sisted that his client had not had a fair trial though guilty and the case was appealed to the Governor and Board of Pardonssbecause Hex had no money to put his casein the Supreme Court. After along effort before the Board Hex’s life was saved by his sentence being commuted to life im- prisonment and now after 11 years the Board commates his life sentence to thirty years, which giving credit for the time he has put in he will serve about ten years more before he is a free man, all of which goes to prove that while there is life there is hope. ‘Thomas Issues National Blue Book. ‘The National Blue Book, a thirty-two page business annual of reference con: cerning Afro-American business enter prises, has been published by A.

Many white friends of the deceased were seen in the congregation. The funeral march, the impressive sermon, the flowers, the remarks by Rev. D. E. Over, assisted by Rev. A. E. Reynolds in a quite interesting and instructive narrative, made the occasion very solemn and sacred. It was one of the most touching scenes in the history of Denver. One of the helping hands of the church and lodge was dead, and though her body lay silent before that massive crowd, it spoke in thundering tones to all lovers of humanity. Hundreds viewed the body with the ease and clock-like work of a machine, which was very flattering to Curtis M. Harris, the funeral director, and to the Douglass Undertaking Co. Curtis gives his heart to his work and it is a tribute well earned when he is praised. Being yet a young man it is possible for him to set "Excellor" as his motto and rise higher and higher in his profession. In appearance, in temperament he is the ideal funeral director and the limits of his success are set only by the measure of his application to his calling. Last, but not least, Frank Rogers, the embalmer, is doing fine work. The remains were taken to Fairmont cemetery in one of the Tramway's handsome and well-equipped funeral cars.

NOTABLE WORK OF THE BAPTISTS atonal Convention Holds Big vubilee Celebration, SEVENTEEN YEARS OF TOIL. ae NS eee eRe | Nashville, Tenn.—Blazing the way for a higher civilization among the Negro’s religious and educational life. Richard Henry Boyd, D. D., LL. D.. secretfry of the national Baptist pub- Ushing board and the home mission board of. the national Baptist conven- tion, showed the remarkable progress made by the two boards under his di- rect supervision during the past few years. In making his reports to the nation- al Baptist convention that is in ses- sion In this clty observing the fifty Years of freedom in the form of a re- ligious jubilee Friday, Sept. 19, he showed conclusively that when {it comes to the constructive part of the Negro, whether he be in the educa- tional, religious or skilled labor world, he has played a remarkable part. With practically no ald and with only plaudits and flattering compll- ments from a stranger here and there ye i = ‘ “a “ we ae Pe See rte ener ce fe he has been able by the courage of his convictions to carry on a religious pub- liking business concern that has ban- died during this fiscal year 1913 over $200,000, giving employment to more than 200 individuals and operating a ‘missionary department at a cust of over $42,000 for the past year. But the gigantic strides made by the boards have*renched such a proportion that they appear to stagger one as they look up at the great heights at- tained in proficiency and excellence. The record of the institution, which is Just seventeen years old, as shown in Dr. Boyd's report exceeds the old motto “Excelsior.” In point of circu- lation this report shows that more than 12,000,000 copies of religious Sun- day school’ periodicals have gone thronghout the confines of the conven- ‘tion and that they have pald the gov- ‘ernment, railroads, express and tele graph companies more than $1,000 per month in the transmission of their ‘mails, messages, products and output and that they are leading the entire race in the publishing and business world in the’ high grade, intricate printing and publishing machinery. ‘The convention was loud in {ts ap- pause in receiving the report of this ex-slave, who has known no unlyerst- ty training except (what ts often sald of him) that which he got ont of the “swamp untversity,” a school which ‘he clalins existed around the fresides ‘in slavery’ tines, where only a pine knot served as the lamp giving Nght ‘by which to read. | Dr. Boyd was twenty-one years old ‘before he learned his alphabet, but lays no claim whatever to baving ne- ‘complished anything except through ‘prayer and perseverance and by the faith of his people. The National Bap- list Poblishing house, as the report ‘shows, occupies seven brick buildings located at the corner of Second avenue north and Locust streets, Nashville, Tenn. and ts the pride of more that | 2,500,000 communicants tn this denom- ination. It has often been said and was brought out very clearly in this report that they are supplying churches with everything the church may need, from a pleture lesson card for Ittto ones in the Sunday school to the finest grade of pastors’ helps nnd religious books, or from a collection plate to the most expensive, well mnde high grade church pews. {n the missionary de- partment the report shows tremendous ‘progress. Especially 1s thix true in the work accomplishel on the isthmus of Pana- ma, where they have succeeded in es- tablishing, organizing and erecting four handsome church edifices and built up a membership in the neigh- borhood of 1,000. In the Sunday sthool department the report says that one of the most astounding features was the modern and improved Sunday school methods maintained through thet Sunday. schoo! congress, the Inst ression of which was held at Musko- gee, Okla., for a week in June of this year under the most encouraging cir- cumstances. 7 MRS.

Hampton, Va.-The class in oratorio conducted by Mme. E. Azalia Hackley at the Hampton institute for a month the past summer was a most creditable feature of vacation work at the institute. The oratorio concluded with a demonstration which included a musical "tug of war" between sopranos, altos, tenors and bassos. There was also a musical "spell down" between the boys and girls on the oratorios "The Creation" and "The Messiah." Mrs. Hackley made six foot charts of the music and matter to be taught, which enabled the students to obtain much information with little effort. As the study of arithmetic cultivates habits of thought, so the intelligent study of music for the Negro, as well as other races, cultivates abstract mental habits which will control thought and emotion, to say nothing of the employment of the idle hour. There is no people so completely under the power of music and no people who could be so molded through the power of music as are the Afro-Americans. Mrs. Hackley recommends the study of oratorio especially because the religious character or oratorio music appeals to the masses of our people. They sing this class of music with marvelous feeling when they have absorbed its beauties and conquered its difficulties. An intellect is put into the construction of good music, so intellect must feel its reception, and to appreciate this music it must be studied intelligently. In the future Mrs. Hackley will devote her energies and time toward educating the masses of colored people in music. She will have a memorial normal school voice culture institute in Chicago especially to train vocal teachers for the colored schools, and she will hold vocal institutes in various sections of the country. Nearly the whole of 1912 was given to her musical mission. She instructed nearly 64,000 in her method of voice culture, in one day teaching 3,000 school children lessons in breathing and the elements of voice culture. Even in the rural schools the children grasped every point that she presented, and the teachers report that the lessons will never be forgotten. BIG CROWDS AT EXPOSITION.

WORK New York Emancipation Exposition Commission Employs Statistician of Well Known Southern School to Prepare Charts and Diagrams Illustrating Economic Progress of the Race. New York.—A New York paper, the latest addition to the ranks of the Negrophobe, philo-Vardaman journals of the metropolis, chose as the subject of one of its frequent anti-Negro fulminations a statement attributed to Dr. Booker T. Washington at the recent convention of the National Negro Business league relative to the vastness of the unoccupied lands in the south. The lands, it says, await the toil of black hands and the sweat of black brows to make them fields bearing fruit for the benefit of Major Bales of Cottonville and Colonel Julep of Mintboro. "This Washington," says the paper in question in its usual sarcastic tone, "has a vertiable head for figures, but it will be interesting to know where he gets them. It may be that in the next twenty years or so the rural Negro population in the south will increase by 900,000, but that that section now has lands awaiting that number of Negro settlers nobody will believe. Where does Washington get his figures, anyway?" He gets them from Monroe N. Work, the cipher man of Tuskegee Institute, and he gets them from somebody who knows what he is talking about. For this reason also Mr. Work has been engaged to prepare charts and diagrams illustrating the economic and social progress of the Negro for the emancipation exposition to be held in this city next month. Historian Who Knows His Business. Mr. Work knows about the vacant lands in the south, because, as he says, he was born "in the woods" of Iredell county. N. C. His steady upward climb to the place he now holds has given him an intimate acquaintance A. E. MONROE N. WORK. with the woods and fields of practically every southern state. In fact, he had so much to do with the soil in Dixie that it was not until he had reached his twenty-third year that he had a chance to go to high school at Arkansas City, Kan. A lazy man would have said he was too old to go to school at that time of life, but Monroe N. Work stuck to it and rapidly overcame the disadvantages and lack of opportunity of his earlier years. Graduating from high school, he attended the Chicago Theological seminary. He then entered the University of Chicago, where in 1902 he received the degree of Ph. B. Another year of graduate study in sociology and economics brought him the M. A. degree, for which he presented a thesis on the "Negro Real Estate Owners of Chicago." Since 1903 he has taught at the Georgia, State Industrial college, at Savannah, and at Tuskegee, where, in addition to his duties of furnishing the figures for Dr. Washington's lectures, he compiles the admirable Negro Year Book. Typical Son of the Sunny Southland. Mr. Work's career is typical of the possibilities for broad culture and all around development open to the ambitious; and industrious colored man. Born on a farm, appreciating the importance of agricultural training for the Negro. Monroe N. Work knew that he could broaden his sphere of usefulness to himself and to society by going to high school to prepare himself for entry and a successful course of study in one of the leading institutions for higher education in the country. The New York emancipation commission's best guarantee of the accuracy of his figures and calculations it illustrating Negro progress is his own prominent figure as a successful, progressive Negro. Those who seek information or have any to offer relative to his work for the exposition should address him at Emanuelpation Praelamation commission, 2217 Seventh avenue, New York city.

A large and appreciative audience was present Thanksgiving night of last week at the People's Presbyterian church to witness the Recital Extraordinary by more than twenty voices. No entertainment of the mid-summer or early fall seasons has been more successfully conducted or rendered. The choir of that church, assisted by members of the choirs of Zion Baptist and Shorter churches, covered themselves with glory on that night in the rendition of those splendid chorus numbers. In addition to those other musical and literary numbers were stars in their respective lines. Mr. Morgan Jackson, whose ability as a violinist is well known, delighted the audience with a solo and was compelled to respond to a hearty encore. Mme. Lillian Hawkins-Jones sustained her reputation as a contralto soloist in charming numbers and the prolonged applause showed the appreciation of the audience of her talent. Others who deserve much credit were the soloist of the chorus, Mesdames Pearl Rose and Lillian Pinn. Rev. J. A. Thos.Hazell as musical director and Mme. Laura Westbrook as accompanist are due much praise for the success of the entertainment. The People's Presbyterian church set a new standard for Denver musicians. Mrs. E. D.
