Houston Informer

GOREE EXPLAINS HIS POSITION IN ODD FELLOWS CONTROVERSY Houston will be host to two grand logues during the next six weeks: ) United Brothers of Friendship and Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth the following week, August 27. ) Both of these grand sessions will be held in an annual session here, July 27, 31, and the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth the following week, August 27. ) Both of these grand sessions will be called upon to serve in the entertaining role as never before. This will be the first time the U. B. P's have met in Houston in the past. ) To many of you to yet many of the order it will be like a home-coming, for it is here that the order (the first colored fraternity in Texas to purchase an office building) owns and operates two houses from the City Hall. Houston has another distinct U. B. P's in Houston that is the largest aggregate membership in the order of any city in the Texas city's leading business and professional men and women; same being true among the Odd Fellows and As for the Odd Fellows and Ruthies, their forth coming Houston sessions will be a jubilee, for it will mark the first grand session held in the imposing city which cost around $650,000, including lots, building, equipment and furnishings. All local committees of both orders are working out all details for the entertainment features, programs and events expected—that all attendance records will be broken at both of them. Though possessing the largest colorful population in the state and the country, Houston is home to the Texas fraternities. Houston has not entertained as many grand lodge members as the other denominations as some of the smaller cities of the Lone Star state, but the city's fraternities visit the visitors and residents, we are hoping that colored Houston will no longer be the entertainment program when same conventions occur. HARLEM HOSPITAL NOW OPEN TO COLORED DOCTORS AND INTERNES; EARNEST FIGHT NETTED RESULTS New York.—On Tuesday Harlem Hospital opened its doors to Negro physicians and internes. This action was taken at a conference between the Harlem Medical Board and a committee of prominent Negro citizens of Harlem, representing the newly formed Citizens' Welfare Council. The fight for physicians in Harlem Hospital began in earnest a few weeks ago when this committee met the mayor of New York City and placed the matter squarely before him. He expressed himself as in entire sympathy and asked the mayor of the city to appoint Dr. McGrath, president of the board of trustees of Bellevue and allied hospitals and work out a plan for opening the hospital to Negro physicians.

The Committee for Interns, held in December, will give preference to Negro doctors, and those wishing internship are requested to file their application with Dr. Neff, president of the Harlem Medical Board. If advisable, the board offered to arrange for special examination; Dr. McGrath declared that as a价, the Committee will have the funds for the vacancies, colored men will receive full consideration and preference.

CHURCHES PLAN FIGHT AGAINST LYNCHING EVIL (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C.-Party years ago we used to lynch men at the rate of 172.8 a year, here in America. Last year we lynched only 18. The Federal Council of churches hopes to make a change. Since 1888, when the fight was started against this "strictly American crime," the smallest number of lynchings in the number of lynchings. Sixteen lynchings took place in the United States last year, the smallest number of annual statistics on the crime was begun 40 years ago, and was shown in the annual reports of commission on race relations of the Federal Council of churches. The reopening of Tunkuisee institutes, Alabama, showed that 12 of the victims were Negroes. In the impasse ending with last year 587 lynchings were recorded as compared with 700 for the previous year. In the forward decrease in the crime which has progressed steadily through every decade the number of lynchings 40 year period the figures for last year, it was showed, was lower than the last year, with the lead for the period shown to be 36.4. Negro victims numbered 2,146 while white victims numbered 1,900. Working with other organizations in a campaign to make 3928 a "lynchman," in order to protect their prisoners in these 45 preventions, sheriffs and police sometimes even opened fire on their friends and neighbors. In some instances they find with their prisoners during All the 40 year period there has been one white man lynched to "the personal security of every virtue and the supremacy of the law." George E. Hayne, secretary of the commission which is "campaigning the commission" These figures show that America can become a lynchman land. Determined action will make that the last person in the country condemn and menace to our life." BRILLIANT RACE WOMAN THRILLS HUGE AUDIENCE BRILLIANT RACE WOMAN THRILLS HUGE AUDIENCE A. N. P. MARY MOLELD BETHUHE (By The Associated Negro Press.) Nashville, Teen—Mrs. May McLeod Bathuna, presiding in the National Pederation of Colored Women Clubs, thrilled a large audience in the Bibou theater of this city. She stressed the new program for the development of club work among the women of the race and emphasized the part which the young women must of necessity play in promoting the program. In setting forth the various features of the program she urged racial integrity and sensitivity, thrift and cooperative effort. In their presentation of the new pro- gram of Nashville were eloquent. Grand Master Tells Public and Jurisdiction of Official Attitude; Wants Their Labors Rewarded Hon. H. G. Goree, grand master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, has requested The Informer to carry the following article which appeared in last week's issue of the Dallas Express, and which we here reproduce without any comment, since the article speaks for itself. The article appears in full as follows: Texarkana, Texas, June 22, 1933. sets of the Odd Fellows at the same Editor of the Dallas Express, Dallas, Texas. Dallas Express. I noticed in the last issue of the Dallas Express in a front page editorial you gave. The position of the author was that of a responsible responsibility rests with the Engument. I take this opportunity to give also the position of the Grand me that he is fully capable of making After reading the large numbers of newspaper articles and open letters concerning the efforts of the Odd Fellows of Texas, I am convinced that the chief bone of contention is that many persons are under the impression that the Endowment Secretary has issued conflicting statements regarding the finances of our Order. Just why Dallas Express should attack and accuse me of taking part in this action is in the light of the fact that the newspaper is hard to understand, in view of the fact that the magazine editor was sitting on the platform in Houston in the Odd Fellow Temple when Mr. Riddle reported that the Odd Fellows had assets of $355,086.74. In the presence of the managing editor of the Dallas Express, Mr. Riddle stated: "I have been repeatedly asked for information regarding the affairs of the Odd Fellows as they pertain to my office, and I have had everyone to understand that I do not turn loose any information to anyone until I am through with it and ready to give it to the public." Now then—this statement was literally true. I got my information regarding the ORLEANEAN AGAIN HEADS NATIONAL B.Y.P.U. ORLEANEAN AGAIN HEADS NATIONAL B.Y.P.U. Wichita, Kan., July 2.—This city entertained in grand style the National Sunday School Congress and B. Y. P. U. Congress of the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, which held its meetings here June 24-28. Five thousand five hundred delegates enrolled the first day and the spacious City. Forum, seating 20,000 people, was a beautiful sight on the opening night when the citizens, white and colored, turned out en masse to welcome the congress. Rev. S. H. Hamon, D. D., was reelected president as were the other members of the official family, including Prof. H. T. Sims, secretary; Rev. H. K. Hill, corresponding secretary; Rev. S. B. Butler, treasurer; Miss Lucile E. Campbell, pianist; Prof. E. W. D. Isaac, Jr., song director, and E. C. Thomas, of New Orleans as president of the B. Y. P. U. department. The musical program of the congress was much commendation. The big mixed chorus of 200 voices led by E. W. D. Isaac, Jr., assisted by Jas. E. Gale of New Orleans and E. M. Barns of Wichita, made a decided hit as did the congress male chorus directed by Jas. E. Gale. Prof. R. B. Hudson, for 20 years secretary of the national convention, reported that the congress has grown from 14,000 churches and 2,000,000 members to 22,000 churches and 2,681,000 members. gram which Mrs. Bethune is traveling over the country promoting and were enthusiastic in their reception of the recording to opinions expressed after the meeting the audience which greeted Mrs. Bethune as one of the largest ever assembled in the city of Nashville. sets of the Odd Fellows at the same time that such information was given to the public. I did not sign the statement. In view of these facts I consider myself entirely absolved from any responsibilities and any irregularities that might exist. The entire responsibility rests with the Endowment Secretary, and if defense of his statement is necessary he assures me that he is fully capable of making his own defense. This I have urged him to do and this he assures me he will do at the proper time. Regarding the whole affair I wish to make this statement. If the statement given out by Mr. Riddle at the dedication of the Temple in February is true, or if the later statement published by Mr. Willis in the Dallas Express, which he states comes from the Department of Banking and Insurance is true, in either case the Odd Fellows of Texas consider themselves second to none among the fraternities of this state. We have put forth efforts and brought about accomplishments such as to justify us in feeling proud and thankful. The fact is we have put up a building which cost us in the neighborhood of $350,000. We have paid spot cash for this and still we have left on hand a cash balance that compares favorably with the best institutions of our kind in the state; even though such other institutions have undergone no such financial strain as have the Odd Fellows. It is a matter of deep regret to me that following upon the heels of our strenuous efforts and final glorious success, that instead of receiving Prof. W. E. Miller, principal of Gregory school, left the city this week on an extended tour of the North and East Hills Church Nursing院 in Niagara Falls, Pittsburgh, Washington, New York, Boston, Montreal and New York. Mr. M. Pelphrey, the professor expects to return to the city the interpart of August, ready to begin the fall season of school. DEMS VISIONER CALLER Accompanied by W. Anderson, Williamson College, M. Pelphrey, Mrs. J. Joe Brown, Des Moines, Iowa, was pleasant Monday afternoon, being on a tour of hospital of the Odd Fellows Temple.

To my mind this is base ingratitude on the part of those taking a part in such abuse and attacks. To my mind the proper thing to do under the circumstances is to meet at Houston and rejoice and be exceedingly glad for the wonderful accomplishments of our Order during the past year. To get up a big wrangle, stir up strife and create general discussion would be entirely out of order, and I want to say to the public that we are depending upon your sense of justice and fair play to withhold harsh judgment upon our administration until you are quite sure such judgment is justified. The Odd Fellows of Texas are in the first ranks of fraternalism. We can truthfully say that we bear malice towards no one; charity to all. It seems that Mr. Riddle is the cerned I am not influence to any e man and am not slance in putti human and anus the rest of my, but as yet I have not heard any charges made against him and I have not heard them hold the child he had an end to his service for the rest of me and I have not steadfast by me when I was heavily burdened and I will not forsake him for the benefit of the Order.

The Gifts of the Church at Antioch (v. 1). Young as Antioch, the new religious center was, she had prophets and teachers. In Eph. 4:18-12 Paul declares that when Christ succeeded he gave to the church the power to feel the sultans unto the work of the ministry. This shows that the church does not exist for itself, but he gives the head of the church, came not to be ministered to, but to minister and give His life a ransom for many (Matt. 20:28). Babase and Saul Sent Forth (v. 2-3). These were the first foreign missionaries sent out. While the five ministers were preaching and fasting, God commanded them to send forth Barnabas and Saul. The work of evangelizing the world was the kind of feeding that they retailed from eating in order to seek the will of the Lord in prayer. This is the kind of feeding that meets the needs of the people they were directed to send forth those whom the Spirit called, we learn that the real call to Christ's service comes from the church and the church seconded the motion by sending those who were called by Him. The church should be constant in their service to the sending forth of laborers into the vineyard. The Spirit called and the church from the church to Antioch. These men seem to have been ready to go for they rendered instant obedience to the Lord's work, holding ourselves in readiness for the immediate execution of His commission. The real call are not taken, by surprise when the church sets them forward to their specific work. The Word of God in Cyprus (p. 4-5). We are not told as to why they first went to Cyprus, but we are left to infer that it was owing to the fact that it was acquainted with the country and people, and could thus be assured of a respectable hearing among them. Be sure to note that he had heard the good news to go with it first to their kindred and friends. Andrew first went to his brother, and then to his sister, and were cast was denied the pleasure of his request to follow Jesus. Christ commanded him to go home and tell what great things the Lord had done for him. He was faithful to God will never preach anything but His Word. The great need today in Spirit-called, Spirit-filled men is that they should be filled men will preach nothing else. The opponent of God and Christ can only be successfully met by this means. Withstood by Elyman, the Sorcerer (v. 0-12). Sergius Paulus, the deputy, invited Barnabas and Saul to tell him of the Word of God. Elymus maliciously told Saul that he was a faithful faith. This is the first obstacle they encountered, but it was overcome through the power of the Spirit. This is the first obstacle Adam in the garden of Eden, and Jesus in the wilderness. He is the enemy of God and man. He now sought to bar the gospel as it entered the heathen. Paul denounced him in the most scathing terms. He called him the child of the devil, denounced him for his insulting nouncing him, the enemy of all righteousness, accusing him of perverting the right ways of the Lord. Surely a man is more than a wolf, trying to turn to a soul from the gospel. Our Life We are living now by justice, honor and mercy, by the moral mastery of God, by the power of God, by the life in white life is not of time; it is life in God and for God; it is the life of freedom; it is free from anxiety, and it is free from suffering; it is content with God and with its fate in God. —George A.

H. G. Hore, District Grand Master, G. U. O. of O. F., jurisdiction of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, do hereby call for the convening of District Grand Lodge No. 25 and District Grand Household of Ruth No. 13, in the City of Houston, Texas, beginning on Tuesday, August 4th, A. D. 1925. Same being the 46th annual session of District Grand Lodge and the 28th annual session of District Grand Household of Ruth of the States of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. Said Grand Lodge and Grand Household of Ruth to continue in session on the following days, to-wit: August 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th, or until such time as the business of said Grand Session shall have been completed. This proclamation is issued convening said Grand Bodies for the purpose of hearing reports of Grand Lodge and Grand Household Officers and various Departments of the Order, collecting of taxes of whatever nature may be imposed upon the Lodge, and to transact all business looking to the best interest of or that may be deemed wise and expedient and such matters as I may submit for consideration with a view to the future growth and perpetuity of our noble order. The following will govern as to qualifications to be eligible to a seat in the Grand Lodge and Grand Household: All delegates must be in possession of the requisite degree and Annual Pass Word. The legally constituted Grand Lodge and Grand Household Officers, Past Grand Masters and Conventional members, together with the duly elected Delegates of the Subordinate Lodges and Households of Ruths whose credentials have been duly certified to the office of District Grand Secretary and District Grand Worthy Recorder will be recognized and shall compose the legislative Body of each, the Grand Lodge and the Grand Household. Lodges and Households must have all taxes, endowments, burial tax, and assessments of whatever nature due the following departments fully paid, to-wit: To J. H. Riddle, Endowment Secretary; Jas. T. Ewing, District Grand Secretary and Mrs. G. C. Houston, District Grand Worthy Recorder. The payment of Endowment, Burial tax, Temple tax, Budget tax, Grand Lodge and Grand Household tax is compulsory and no delegate will be seated in either the Grand Lodge or Grand Household whose Lodge or Household he or she represents is delinquent in the payment of any or all of the taxes above indicated. Reduced rates over all Texas railways entering Houston have been granted by the railway executives and Delegates and Members of the Order who may wish to attend the Grand Lodge are requested to read the announcement of Jas. T. Ewing, District Grand Secretary, who secured such rates and who has issued a statement clearly defining and setting forth the requirements that will obtain and the basis of fares, dates that tickets will be issued, and the conditions under which the Grand Lodge provided for the comfort and convenience of all persons attending the Grand Lodge and Grand Household by the Railway Companies and due publication giving dates of and time of departure of trains leaving for Houston from different sections of the state. Special chair cars from Texarkana, Denison, Dallas, Ft. Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Waco and Beaumont will be provided for and other points if the number of delegates warrants. Delegates will go to the Grand Lodge and Grand Household prepared to stay in Houston for the duration of the trip and the rate of $2.00 per day. The grand opening will take place Monday evening, August 3rd, and all Grand Lodge Officers and Delegates will be expected to leave their homes in time to be present at the opening. As Grand Master, may I urge that every Lodge and Household, the Patriarchie, Juvenile Society, Past Grand Masters Council and Ladies' Chamber, have as many representatives present as permissible. Houston will be the mecca for the great host of Odd Fellows and Ruths of Texas in August. The magnificent Temple now completed and equipped will be the home of the Grand Lodge and Grand Household will be held. This beautiful building with its modern conveniences is the very last word in modern architecture and construction. The Delegates and visitors will enter their new home for the first time with a sense of pride and satisfaction that is not easily described. Enwrapped in this magnificent Temple is a mute testimony of the loyalty of the members of the Grand Lodge and surrounded by a Cabinet of capable, earnest and unselfish men, have been able to carry out according to the wishes of all. My path and those associated with me has not been strenued with roses—we have had many difficult problems to solve and seeming unmountable obstacles to overcome, but with modest pride and an abiding faith in God we are proud to acknowledge that our task has been finished, victory achieved and there is nothing further to be imparted and enduring gratitude to one and all for the sublime spirit manifested. This should be a year for rejoicing and thanks to Almighty God for the successes and accomplishments of Odd Fellows and Ruths. May I urge as Grand Master that all Delegates come to the Grand Lodge and Grand Household of Ruth imbued with a spirit of co-operation and good will that the great accomplishments thus far had will be an incentive to even do greater things in the future and more determined than ever that there be no steps backward by the Grand Old Order. The Temple will be officially opened by the Grand Lodge and Grand Household will be present among whom we expect Grand Master Edward H. Morris of Chicago. Come to Houston and let's make merry and rightfully so. Attest: JAS. T. EWING, District Grand Secretary. --- MECHANICAL SCHOOL ANNOUNCES FACULTY What is to be known as the Mechanical School of Texas, established in 1872, is one of the race along practical and mechanical lines, announces that an experienced faculty has been secured to teach the drawing, S.

"But their most convincing argument in their answer was 'educated' Niggers' is after us, and us ignorant fellows must stand together." That is their gattling gun. Then without an argument and an answer they jump behind the fact that they are ignorant. But the people are gradually getting on to their tactics. And in due time they will be compelled to give a better answer. Our course is well planned and every step that can be made is already anticipated. So far everything has been done just according to the program and the forecast. The Baptists are going to have a better day in New Orleans. Religion and education combined will finally triumph over ignorance and the rabbit foot. LEADING PRINTER SUBSCRIBES. J. L.

She was married to Father E. Hartnett. The bride was radiantly lovely in a bridal crown of white satin with well beautifully draped so as to make her appear as an angel.

After the ceremony the same night a reception was held for several hundred guests at the home of the groom's parents. Refreshments were served in abundance and the guests danced until early morning by the music of the well known Tuxedo band. The parents of the bride and groom seemed as happy as the young people.

That which landed among the stones, the thorns and in the barren places, perished. Only the seeds which reached the good ground had a chance to grow. The modern advertiser does not strew his seed of salesmanship to the winds. He plants it carefully in the "good ground"—in the places where because of favorable conditions it has a chance to bear a harvest of consumer results. He uses newspaper advertising because through the newspapers he covers completely the matters which he knows, upon careful investigation, to the right places for his product to flourish. F.

B. Bolden, 2116 Live Oak who has been on the sick list for about ten days, is much improved. According to news items in the daily newspapers of Houston, the board of education of the Houston Independent School District has awarded the contract for the erection of a high school for colored children in "deep" Third Ward, to cost (the building) around $70,000; notwithstanding the fact that the site on which to erect this "wonderful" school structure has not yet been secured. Little Mise Laura Smith, 1988 Live kick, left for Orange Sunday to Miss Lydia Hawkins, Link Road, who has been confined to bed for the FOR RENT-A - Axt-room house, and bath, 887 Rhode Street bed It is not the intention of the Informer to discuss the proposed site for this colored high school, which, apparently, will be in close proximity to the proposed colored hospital in "deep" Third Ward, but this paper does think that it is an outrage for the local school board to insult the colored citizenry, tax-payers and scholars of Houston with a little, old $70,000 makeshift building that would cost more than $2,800,000 for white school sites and buildings out of the $3,000,000 bond issues floated for school expansion purposes. bee Spivey Printing Co. for a good press.

Collins, Albert Allen and Ed Moore have returned from the St Bernard river, where they spent seven years. What kind of a building can be erected for $70,000? Why, a modern two-story frame structure, built properly and with modern conveniences and equipment, will cost every bit that much or more, yet the board plans to whisk this building off on our people and their families. What kind of a building will attract the colored citizenry along educational lines, as it relates to the public schools of this city and district. Attorney and Mrs. S. H. Cavitt were visited by the stork on the night of which left them another daughter. Rev. E. H. Molden, Supt. of Marshall M. E. district, is visiting friends here and a house guest of Mrs. and Mrs. A. Zolla. The board is certainly manifesting a parsimonious and niggrary policy and executing a shortsighted and discriminatory program in reference to its coerced citizens and constituents, while our people are sitting around like a bunch of "dumb Doras" and evincing nothing more or less than a passive interest in a cause that vitally and directly affects them, their posteriority and the social family. If you appreciate good music, you can certainly bear Miss Beaola Leo Baca's piano, a prano, at Anichie Baptist Church, in New York. B. E. Collins, 1019 Lake Oak, who was taken very suddenly III Saturday from stonemake poisoning, is reported to be in the hospital. "The informer could cite several of the smaller cities and large towns in Texas which have spent more than $100,000 for buildings for colored children, and all of these buildings are not employed for colored high schools, either!" Miss Bessie Stirling, Beaumont, in spending a few days in the city, the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Derrett, 2708 Rice. Just to think that Houston, with a colored population probably in excess of 50,000 (all of whom are tax-payers, either of the direct or indirect type), will not spend a sufficient amount of the tax-payers' money to erect a decent and respectable high school building for its colored children; notwithstanding the fact that, save one or two stucco structures, no buildings have been built for colored children. The fact is that the majority of the buildings now used by colored children are inadequate and wholly unfit for modern school purposes. Mr. and Mrs. J. Williams, 3819 Broadway, Mt.

Campbell, 3819 On a percentage of population basis, since the colored citizens constitute fully one-fourth of the city's population, the board could have employed 25% of the $3,000,000 ($750,000) bond issue for the city and committed no grave offense nor violated any rule of ethics. Rev. J. R. Roberson, Baptist city mislocation, was called to Galveston by his brother Monroe Roberson, of his brother Monroe Roberson, of Memphis, Tenn., who spent several days in the city, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Roberson, and left last Monday for Los Angeles, Cal. Any amount less than $50,000 out of this $3,000,000 for purchasing sites and erecting building for colored schools, is a crying name, a travesty upon justice and a criminal outrage upon fair play and a square deal! As stated repeatedly in these columns for the last several years, Houston is a poor last among the cities of Texas (and towns, too) when it comes to providing school sites, buildings and facilities for students. Houston is a city that is doing much to create and maintain a spirit of unrest, discontent and dissatisfaction among the forward-thinking, tax-paying colored citizens of this municipality and school district.
