FLORIDA COPS 1926 LYNCHING LEAGUE FLAG; TEXAS SECOND TEXAS PYTHIANS WIN NOTABLE CASE HOME EDITION VOL. VIII FLORIDA * * * * * TEXAS THE MIRROR THANKS, FRIENDS, THANKS! As space in this column will not permit us to enumerate the name of every person that remembered this columnist and his with Christmas greetings, the conductor of the department wishes to take this occasion to thank all the friends (and enemies, too, if there are any and if any sent us) both for the cards and the friends, and for the card and sentiments expressed as Yolietide remembrances. Friendship is an indefinable and priceless attribute that neither material wealth nor carnal possession can acquire nor beget; and to be remembered by friends, far and near, may be found in the hands of the people, and a source of much pleasure, encouragement and gratification to this writer. During the pre-Yuletide season our "sweet tooth" was agreeably appeased by another one of those wonderful lemon pies from the Kitchen of Miss Lillian Reeves, teacher at Douglass College, St. Paul's School, and the "Pie" song "We thought of the 'pie song' while feasting on this pie, for "of all the pies that the pie-makers make, when the pie-makers make a pie, there is no pie that the pie-makers make, half so good as Lillian's lemon pies." That enterprising and energetic adventurer, who has been a member of the American C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co., Indianapolis, Ind., Harry D. Evans, again remembered ye scribe, this time with a beautiful desk calendar with a raised profile of the late founder of this company, with this recent present, we now have three gifts from this pioneer, and three opener, in kind and calendar stand. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company, Washington, D. C., presented this columnist with a leather letter pocket folder, with a memorandum book full of helpful information, including postal rates, population of American cities, 1930 and 1955 (data is not available). By C. F. RICHARDSON Our friend, Dr. A. L. Hunter, proprietor of the Standard Bath House at Marlin, again shipped us our annual crate of turkeys, and Mrs. L. C. Haynes, Mrs. Alphonse Mills and Miss Lydia Hawkins sent us, by Santa Claus, three of the finest cakes ever baked for mortal man to devour and conceive. Our pal and faithful "pards," James T. Ewing, endeavored to provide for our smoking wants for the holidays with a box of imported Havanas; while Homer E. McCoy, another friend and local mortician (undertaker) sent us an imported eigar so large and long that we started smoking it Christmas Day at the football game and haven't finished smoking it yet. (This article is being written by a friend, Dr. E. McCoy, December 28, 1925, at 4:50 c.k.) Some of you are saying, "some 1—8!" Though partly on the disability list during the holiday season, this columnist was greatly uplifted and encouraged by these remembrances and tokens from friends, as well as the presents tendered him by his spouse and three sons. Because of our physical condition and a ray and cold weather of Christmas week, we were compelled to forego quite a number of invitations from friends to visit their homes and inspect their beautiful residences, cellars, et cetera, but we thank them just the same for the invitations and had not the disagreeable weather in terfered, we would have been present with bells on and every bell ringing. For fear we have one more year to thank the many friends for their kindly remembrances, and hope for every one a New Year laden with happiness, peace and prosperity. FINE SPORTSMANSHIP SHOWN. Contrary to expectations from some sources, the first annual football game, played on Saturday, and Jack Yates, played at West End Park Christmas Day, was not only an annual event, but a sport, but it was likewise a fine demonstration of sportmanship. Despite the egregious and anxiety to only two teams, only two penalties were inflicted for "roughing" of any sort, and each team had six. No replacements were necessary for injuries, yet it was a stubborn game, until the final shot, as the 64 score would indicate, the game quite efficiently and whenever a decision was rendered, there was no penalty on the players, and at the contests THE HOUSTON INFORMER Higher Court Reverses Waco Judge's Decision In Sanford's Litigation Higher Court Reverses Waco Judge's Decision In Sanford's Litigation Insurgents, Who Sought $21,500 in Damages from Pythian Grand Lodge for Their Expulsion from Texas Order, Losers Again—Court of Civil Appeals at Waco Holds With Grand Chancellor Willis and His Official Cabinet—Decision Means Sanford, Thomas and Others are Still Expelled From the Texas Jurisdiction—Decision of McLennan County Court, Forcing Pythian Grand Lodge Officers to Reinstate "Insurgents," Declared Null and Void—Right of Order to Try and Expel Members Upheld and Confirmed. Waco, Texas—The grand lodge of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas, of which Hon. W. S. Willis of Dallas is grand chancellor, won a sweeping and notable victory in a decision recently handed down here by the court of civil appeals of the Tenth Supreme Judicial District of Texas, with Chief Justice J. N. Gallagher handing down the opinion for this higher Texas legal tribunal. The cause was styled as “Grand Lodge of Colored Knights of Pythias of the Grand Jurisdiction of Texas, et al., appellants, vs. J. W. Sanford, et al., appellees,” and was an appeal by the grand lodge from a decision rendered in favor of Sanford et al in a district court of McLennan County. In its decision the lower court issued a mandatory writ enjoining the grand lodge of Texas Pythians to reinstate Sanford and others, who had been suspended by the grand lodge officers because he and his “insurgent” fraters violated the rules and laws of the order by resorting to court procedure before exhausting every remedy for relief from the conditions of which they complained, through the prescribed channels of the order. This case originated at the grand lodge held in Fort Worth, Texas June 2, 1924, when Sanford, C. H. Thomas and others sued an injunction in a district court of Tarrant County against W. S. Willis, grand chancellor of Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas; J. E. Smith, grand lodge of records and seal, and his assistant, to restrain them from conducting an election otherwise than provided by the laws of the order, and charging the grand lodge officers with misappropriation and misapplication of grand lodge funds, and with irregularities in connection with the election of grand lodge officers in Dallas during the grand lodge of 1923.

This injunction was ignored by the grand lodge officers and the usual business of the session was transacted, by the lodge officers, by the suspension of the rules and laws and the grand master-at-arms casting the unanimous vote of the grand lodge for the re-election of the official family, excluding H. L. Price, of the lodge, dropped from the board of directors. The next move of Sanford & Company was to institute contrapetition proceedings against the garrison, wilt, and the court, which issued the original injunction subsequently host that language of the same, as set out in the contract, and that no contrapetition was issued if the grand lodge officers) was insufficient and that no contrapetition was committed by the defendants in ignoring such injunction.

COLORED FARMERS TO STUDY PROBLEMS AT TUSKEGEE MEET (By the Associated Negro Press.) Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Consideration of a safe farming program for 1927 is the problem which will engage the attention of Negro farmers of the South who attend the thirty-sixth annual Tuskegee Negro Conference which meets here Wednesday, January 19. The place of diversification in such a program will come in for thorough discussion. The necessity of each farmer growing an ample supply of food and feedstuff will be set forth. Attention also will be directed toward means of striking a proper balance between the money crops such as cotton and tobacco and other crops with a view of eliminating the present tendency toward over-production of staples. Inquiry into the claim that cotton can be grown at a cost as low as five cents a pound will be made and methods of reducing the cost of production will be discussed. The farmers will tackle the difficult problem of marketing. Interest will center in the selling end of marketing. How to sell to advantage is a matter of growing concern to the farmer and will provide a lively topic of discussion. The annual Tuskegee Negro Conference was inaugurated by the late Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute, to assist the Negro farmer in becoming more productive and in finding a more satisfying rural life. COLORED HIGHS PLAYED 6-6 TIE CHRISTMAS DAY A concrete and tangible example of what results when an irresistible force comes in confus with an immovable body, was evidenced Christmas Day at West End Park, when the football elevons of the Colored High and Jack Yates High schools clashed upon the gridiron. This was the first annual tussle between these two local high schools, and the final setting with a tied score, with the city championship still undecided and unsettled, was a fitting elimax to a brillant and gruelling gridiron battle. The Golden Eagles (Colored High) scored a touchdown in the second quarter, due to Curtis Madison's terrific line plunging; but their 6-0 lead was soon evened to 6-6 by the Golden Eagles, who were out of the game. Davis, the outstanding star of the Jacks, circled High's left end for a touchdown, making a beautiful run and completely outdistancing his opponents. Both teams failed in their first two games, and the team was touched down, and the game was played back and forth, up and down the field for the remainder of the last two quarters. Both teams put up an excellent record, and the team's first-half, feeling off-chance, the snappet and best games witnessed here between any elevons in many years. During the last half both teams carried the -ball within the danger zone, only to be held for down-to-the-点. In end runs the Lions excelled, but in punting, line plunging, throwing forward passes the Eagles soared above their Third Ward opponents. The game was witnessed by a large crowd of holiday fans, including large numbers of players, including the game's head coach and cold played a part in reducing the anticipated crowd. Coaches R. G. Lockett of High, and Luther L. Davis of Yates, are to be complimented for the excellent brand of the team's输球. Contrary to an article appearing in a local daily newspaper, the two elevons will not meet again this season, the Curtain having been rung down high the tied game on Christmas Among the stellar players were: Bubby, Madison, Watkins and Ripley.

Sadly she had no other department for these same lamps, had refused to dance the New Year in with him. In fact this was the reason Jack had refused to go to a dance with him. This time she had given no reason to refuse to go to a dance with him. This time she more puzzled than it she had done it unaccomplished. Sadly with her dark eyes, and gold on curts that no body could make lie down in any sort of restraint, Jack looked anything but the industrious little worker had proved to be THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD No girl in the department could begin to make shades as fast or as beautiful as Saldi. No one got checks anywhere near the size of Saldi's at the end of the week; yet, while the other girls envied her skill, they all liked her, too—so did every one for that matter. Jack would have adored her if she hadn't been able to make but one shade a week. She had always been ready to laugh and joke and go to parties with him until now. Still, Jack reasoned, she was just the same as always about everything but the parties. The queer part of it was, to Jack's thinking, that he had called on Saldi last night and her mother had said she was out on an errand, but she hadn't said where, neither had she asked him Happy New Year --- to come in and wait for her. They didn't usually treat him that way. Jack wasn't easily downed. He wouldn't let Saidle's refusal upset him so. He'd do something different from just going to an ordinary dance — something he could tell Saidle about afterward. He decided to go to a gay cabaret where the wealthy people went, and there he'd watch the old year out. He could afford to spend what it would have cost him to take Saidle to the dance and he wouldn't have to spend so much all alone. It would be a new experience in his life of ordinary routine. He'd forget Saidle if he could. Jack was quite thrilled with his idea. When night came, into the popular resort he sauntered and seated himself in a far corner where he could watch the gay throng, unmolested. For some time Jack watched the festive scene without signaling out individuals; suddenly through the crowd he saw the golden curls of Saidle. Jack could scarcely believe his eyes. Strange thoughts flew through his Strange thoughts mind. This was why she also was resentful, here with some wealthy friends, be a possible jack told himself, yet, after all, it was Sadie.

She posed task after her hard day's work. Surprised, Saldie waived a moan. "What does it mean?" Jack demanded suddenly, feeling he must protect her from herself. And Saldle whispered: "It the tip I put that count," Jack, the salesman, joked. "Two days.

PILARMY TOPIC - Learning JUNIOR TOPIC - Enlisting with INTERMEDIATE AND NENIOR TOPIC- What It Means to Follow Jesus Jesus as Teacher of Disciple- IO- Receiving Jesus as Saviour and Jesus. I. Jesus Fail Four Men to Follow Him. 1. Who they were (v. 10, 19). Simon and Andrew, John and James, two of the disciples. It is usually engaged in the lodge of the Lord's service in fellowship—in pairs. This is not only necessary for effective testimony, but also for the health of the workers and protection of the witnesses. 2. What from what they were (v. 10, 20). They were called from a finite service. God always choose Him from the ranks of the employed. 3. To what they were called (v. 17, 18). No man doubt had been successful as fathers. The qualities which made them good fishermen, namely, parachute and night and perseverance which led them to toil all night, though no fish were caught, would make them good fishermen. Becoming Christ great patience, bravery and perseverance. Becoming business in the world. It is the hardest work in the world to do. 4. The cost of obedience to Christ's Obedience to Christ's call meant sacrifice, painful separation, to give thanks for the gift of life and their father behind. Regardless of the cost they yielded prompt obedience. They put their trust in Him. He was able to supply all their needs. 5. Their reward (v. 17). 6. Four men were wielded wickedness in the world. Their names have become immortalized. Had they remained at their business and only have been humble sabercraft. 11. Matthew Becomes a Follower of Jesus (Mk. 21:18-17). 12. He deplied tax gatherer under the Roman government. For a Jew to fill such a position was to be deprived of taxed taxes paid to the Roman government as unlawful extortion, a member of their race engaging in the business of the church to be exposed to shame and contempt. 13. Observe the abruptness of this white sitting at his place of business he called the call of Jesus. 14. The defensiveness of the call (v. 17). 14. to be follow Jesus. To follow Jesus means to learn of Him and to engage in service for Him. 14. Matthew did not stop to reason on the question, but rendered definite and instant obedience. He openly asked himself with the Lord. Happy is the man who has the good judgment to inherit, even though it even may be costly. Matthew made a treat and invited many of his publicans friends to meet his wife. He asked her to be a twofold objective: (1) An expression of gratitude appraisal to the Lord for his saving grace. (2) To bring his former friends and associates into touch with his newly married wife, who have found the Lord to desire to bring their friends into touch with him. (3) Walking as Jesus Walked. The Supreme Test of Abiding in Him. Abiding in Christ means to have experienced the life of God in Christ, come into contact with Christ, and acutely living in fellowship with Him. Christ's identity with the Father and his preeminent and grand example. Anyone who precedes to abide in Christ, who is not walking as He walked, is not Christ's walk of walking the walk of the Christian implies the whole of his life. The reality of our profession is determined by the con "Ye Must Be Born Again" Wesley, who, it is said, preached three hundred times from the words, "must be born again," was asked, "Wesley, why do you do so often because you are not born again?"

Hazard JT WAS with smiling resolution, but also with invivicible vanity, that Mr. Thomas Sprague gave the smiling man the warmest welcome. He had determined to be socially active and pleasant, but he had failed to respond with affection. That everybody would be glad to see him he had forgotten that his previous faithfulness to him had been reliction with himself. In need of a reason with himself, he asked some kind friend could have advised and convinced him about his faculty and his ability for saying the things he did not mean to say, he might have been aware of the fact that he was iron-willed, his powers in these directions were unimpaired. He was still unaware of the fact that he was iron-willed. Thus it was that the day opened characteristically as he shook hands with old man Young and, after the usual New Year wish, stepped on his favorite corn by an unfortunate comparison. Mr. Young was on the other side of seventy, but fond of imagining himself as young as ever, and a mutual acquaintance of the two was this side of that meridian, but with the looks of Methusaleh. "How old do you think our friend Smithers is?" asked Young. "Well, I should say about sixty," replied Mr. Spriggs, "but he looks as old as you do!" The conversation was then abruptly ended. Nothing daunted by Mr. Young's failure to appreciate his wit, Mr. Spriggs proceeded to find his next victim, gayly wishing himself a happy New Year. On his way to Miss Bump's reception he fell in with Mr. Ignatius Friendly, his pastor for many years, and still holding the office. But he presently fell out with Mr. Friendly as follows: "I see," says Spriggs, "I see that the other church is about to lose its pastor. He's been in our town only about three years and now has a call to Bigville. They don't keep a good man long in Bliss town!" Arriving at the Bump homestead just in time to be rather late, Mr. Spriggs again distinguished himself in his anxiety to promote social fellowship by introducing a young lady friend of some forty winters to one of the literary lions present. Unfortunately "It Won't Be Long Now." nately he forget the name of this lady, so he escaped from his dilemma and fell into a new difficulty by saying, "Professor Fox, let me make you acclimate with—with Miss—with one of our old stamdbys!" After this, Spriggs, all unabated, presented himself at the Gladbys in time to say to Judge Ipricha, where approaching the age limit set upon his office, "It won't be long now, judge, before you will have to go away back quail and eat." Perhaps the most interesting adventure of this colorful day occurred at the church, where she increasingly circles, until she finally took his leave with a *crowning bonnet* as Mrs. Robinson kept her upward. She was the account of a rather severe indisposition, her daughter, Miss Allura, had done the honors, and to her he made a point of telling her that her mother, Miss Robinson, he said, "and tell her that I hope that she will talk with his inadvertant that Talking with his inadvertant that there are many queer people in the church, and that she would undoubtedly continue to be the case after they both had left it, the good lady overloaded the implication." Nothing interfered with the slumbers of Mr. Springs. No ghostly contempt of Mr. Springs, who day seemed to stand accustomly by his bed. He swoke the next morning to put on the magnifying glasses of his bed, and he fared far on early January 1, 1927, to commit new deprivations upon the concession he had given him. He will wish him a happy New Year just the same. They know that he means well with it all and they take his主意 with it all. He will be with it in a management with which we all desire to enter upon new and promising eras. He will be with it, although that would deprive us of amusement, it will do him good. If we could see ourselves as others we would be able to see if we are queer it avoids monotony and gives us of that variety which has been the source of our day. ¹ 1824, Warner Newbury Union.

REAGAN YEAR'S EVE was set as the date for the wedding of Bob Wallins and Charlotte Wallins, and so did they, that it would mean excellent luck to begin the New Year as they did, the time drew nearer, Bob, at least, began to have fears and forebodings, not so much about the day as about the event. EW YEAR'S EVE was set the date for the wedding of her husband, John Main. Their friends thought, and so did they, that it would be better to begin the New Year as man and wife. But as the time drew near, Bob, at the age of 18, and forebodings, not so much about the day as riage was a serious thing. And after reflecting a long time on the subject—perhaps too long, he wasn't sure what it was. After all it would have made things easier if Bob's mother had agreed with him, but she hadn't. Charlotte was not sure for any young man to marry. She was thrifty, and sensible. Send her a message. For any good pal and thought. He would have liked her to be just a little bit silly. Girls were supposed to be a little silly. That's what she was. She would have come to rely on her judgment and it would have been annoying to have to give her good pal and that, and he liked her; of course he all that her. But was that love? Was that romance? Oath? What would she be about to marry; couldn't sleep at night for thinking of them, or were they about to marry; couldn't describe as "love." Well, Bob never For Hours She Sat at Her Mirror, "Practicing." felt that way about Charlotte. His appetite was as good as ever and he loved her. For instance, then he met Helen McKay at a house party, and his digestion at once began to suffer. It somehow took him a long time to sleep at night and during the day his mind was in a fog. He couldn't concentrate on business at all. Helen McKay with her trim figure and elegant hair, her curved lips and ronged cheeks, her artful, vampish ways, came tripping info his thoughts constantly. There was a lull in the thought. He wouldn't have hurt Charlotte's feelings for the world, but he was not going to let her go. He could go out with a few friends without Charlotte's finding out? He did; but Charlotte found out. He was not going to let her go. She packed the diamond engagement But you've lived your life, and you've lived it well. And now, you must say to your life farewell. You have brought to us both honor and shame, But we hold for you neither praise nor blame, You have brought us joy, you have brought us woe, But all the years do the same as they go, As the years before you have done, so you Did only the thing it was yours to do When you came to us another year went, Another will come when your time is spent, The New Year we hail with a smile, but sigh For the year that is gone, Old Year good-bye. ring into its little box, and was about to mail it back to him when her old wife asked her to bring the ring would have to admit defeat. The only wise thing to do was to laugh and best bob at his own face. She appeared in a movie and wang another man. A likely "prospect" appeared in the movie, and just come to Quincy from New York, and with his worldly manner and handsome face was enough to arouse the jealousies of her husband. She started out on her campaign. She had been wearing old dowdy dresses, and in addition she seau, but now she took out the new clothes, and in addition bought herself a lipstick and immuniserable jars of lipstick. Quincy practiced "mirror, practice." Evidently she became quite skillful, for Samuel Peck had stared at her. He threatened to harden and soon Sam and Charlotte appeared at parties together. Bob stared and raged. He threatened to kill her. He found how apparently ready Charlotte was to have the engagement ring, and so simply couldn't get over Charlotte act that way. He became so worried about Charlotte that he forgot to give Charlotte he went over to Charlotte to call. She was tantalized gay, as she was always lately. "People are beginning to talk," he said brigely. "About what, or whom?" "About you." "About me?" How interesting! I know that know, and what do they want me to compliment things, I hope? Bob got up and walked back and front of the brighter side of the street, who begins to play around with another fellow condescending, and to use that vultuosity to assemble a model young woman to the Women's Bible class, I suppose? With the Women's Bible class, and what right have you to criticize?" "We're engaged to me!" "Yes, but that can be broken. You were started with me, too, me, started going with that Helen McKay." "Who?" "Chris McKay, don't be ridiculous. I didn't mean that seriously at all. I even forgotten for a minute who in the world she was." "She was rather quickly, it seems to me." "Look here, Charlotte, I tired of this. You've got to make up your own life, you have to be old self and marry me the New Year's Eve as you promised, or not, you have to be always-knight-unless you take of that terrible-looking make-up." The conversation took place in a room where Bob left, averaging he was "of women for life." Eve Wedding was called off. Bob Wallins became one of the worst grocers in town. He was never except at his office or home, while Charlotte came to look Then cause the reconciliation, and as the two sat one evening sending a letter to the dinner that was to culminate in their marriage, Bob said, "George, Charlotte. I'm glad we got all our quarrelling down." And we were because We certainly are never going to have even the least argument again. "114 Western News Online."

WILLIAM SHEDRICK WILLIB, Dallas, grand chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas, whose order once won a sweeping victory in the appellate court (Waco) of the Tenth Judicial District of Texas, and whose order was also a successful defense of officers in suspending J. W. Sandorf and other "insurgents" of 1924 from the grand and subordinate lodges. The higher court held that the court of original jurisdiction erred in granting a mandatory writ to Sanford and Sandorf, and that the court of original jurisdiction "gent" members in their local lodges. According to the recent opinion handed down by the higher court at Waco, Sanford and his "enjoining" coterie have been excluded from the ranks of the "brave boy," and thus all their fighters. Having finally trumped in this cause, the wisdom, sagacity and sanity of Mr. Willis as a fraternal leader and successful business man are again the focus of the court's attention in the jurisdiction of who has a burning seal, but not according to knowledge.

Call REMOVAL NOTICE! DR. T. M. SHADOWENS Ground Floor, Odd Fellow Temple Office: Preston 2094 Residence: Capitol 0551 Texas Pythians--- (Continued From Page One) It appears from the evidence that no each hearing was ever had, that said, no one was ever heard, no further proceedings had been made. "There was a trial before the court judgment to calculate apples as meat, and the judge all dues that had accrued on their account had been paid," said payments made thereon. "Said judge." OPINION Appellants told the court that cured in granting a mandatory injunction of the order, the unpaid facts show that they had not exhausted their remedies in the several appellate cases in which they were ordered. The authorities are uniform to a member of such an order as to the sentence of expulsion against him lawfully rendered by a tribunal created by the appellate court, and to sentence law and invested with such jurisdiction and authority. It is that that appellants assert to and accept its constitution and laws and implicitly blends himself with the appellants as they may provide for the determination of issues affecting his membership. 78 Tex. 705, 855, 13, S. W. 379. The issue presented by this appeal is whether the trial court erred in granting appellees a mandatory injunction to compel their reinstatement as members of the order. Our Supreme Court has held, and such holding has been consistent with the law, that it would not be unintended to be shown that the applicant therefor has exhausted all the remedies by way of appeal provided by the laws of the order. This holding is based on the rule that such extraordinary relief will not be granted so long as another adequate remedy is available. Screwmen's S. B. N. A. S. W. & Thompson, 10. T. L. 89, R. 113, 8. S. W. 147, 87. B.S.L. vs. Statten, 255 S.W. 1009, 1011; Sawtell, vs. Feaser, 235 S.W. 960, 961; Pruser vs. Buck, 234 S.W. 679, 683; Brown vs. Harris County Medical Soc., 194 S. W. 1179, 1181. Our Supreme Court further holds that the rule requiring an applicant for reinstatement to exhaust its remedies by way of appeal provided by the law of the order is applicable, notwithstanding the order of expulsion may be contrary to law and void. Screwmen's Ben. Ass'n. vs. Benson, supra, p. 55-6. The Court of Civil Appeals for the First District held in the case of Supreme Council Catholic Knights of America vs. Gambatti, 69 S. W. 114, 116, that the application should not be requested to be stated was not affected by the fact that the court was not carried a certificate of Insurance in the order, and the Supreme Court refused a writ of error. "The evidence in this case shows that appolls did not enhance their relief by the laws of the order. The relief, the indictment of the trial court, is here rendered for appolls." J. N.

NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS. —ROOSEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS. SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1927 Some of the good brethren have taken in too much territory in conference with the white members of the Intertribal Commission. Not thinking they gave the old imagination too much tuck. Therefore, when the commission gave the commission a branch of this commission to tell about a place of their work that was not in the case of the 'laws' case. When the home office of the N. A. N. A. C. P. sent me a copy of the facts, I compared it with the reports we had been making to them from time to time. I was told that the Collins' matter, compared with harmony with the information that had been peddled to the white members of the commission, and naturally, they have been led to believe that we are making an DEPLORABLE CONDITION OF GREGORY'S CAMPUS! Along with its building and expansion program, as it relates to colored public schools (for which the Houston board of education is to be commended), the public school officials should see to it that the contractors do not render the campuses of the schools, where construction is under way, totally unfit for the children to get to and from the temporary buildings now being employed for class-room work. The Informer wishes to cite the attention of the local board of education to the deplorable condition obtaining on the campus of Gregory school, located at Wilson, Cleveland and Victor streets; Fourth Ward, where dirt from the excavation for the new brick structure now being erected is piled several feet high all over the school grounds. Not only are the hundreds of little colored children forced to wear over this dirt and mud every day, but they must also spend their moments of recess and recreation on this same dirt and mud, or else leave the school campus to play and recreate, with its resultant dangers. Such living conditions tend to undermine the health of grown-ups, to say nothing of children of the ages that attend this colored elementary school in the Fourth Ward; and particularly due to the presence of toxic chemicals in the classroom. Some of my best friends are members of the best side of the interim Commission, and that they get the record straight. For their benefit, and for the benefit of those who stood in the front line trenches against the enemy, I am against the deadly enemy of public sentiment, retraining at times of persecution and the apparent persecution and the apparent dispatches at times of persecution and certain crimes to obtain the slightest ambiance of justice in the courts, and to face of overwhelming odds to vicious face of overwhelming odds to viciousness in the interim Commission in general and the Collin'a case in particular. The Informer, laboring under the impression that neither the school board nor business manager has been apprised of this deplorable condition obtaining at Gregory school, suggests that this condition should be addressed. While the yard at Gregory was in dire need of filling, there is no earthly reason nor excuse for converting the campus into a dump yard. The excess dirt and mud should be removed from the yard and the teachers should fit for the teachers and children to at least walk on during school hours. The Informer is not conversant with conditions obtaining at other colored public schools where construction of new buildings is under way, but if such a deplorable condition exists at any other public school, the board or business manager should look after it from this unsavory and unhealthy condition and teachers some relief from this unsavory and unhealthy condition. Colored Passenger--- HOUSTON BUSINESS MEN SHOULD WAKE UP! According to a news item appearing in the daily newspapers during the week, the National Negro Business League, of which Dr. Robert Ruston Moton of Tuskegee Institute is president, will host an eighth annual session at Dallas, Texas, during August of 1927. (Continued From Page One) the Jim Crow law of the state of Florida. Mr. Brooks declined to do being a passenger in incarcerate commerce not subject to the provisions of the Florida law. The following day, Mr. Brooks was "volentily, forbly, and rudely elected" from the Pulman car company and way and Pulman employee by Florida law officers summoned for the purported assault, coach, and upon declining to do was taken and imprisoned in the Palm Beach jail, being compelled to spend the night in the Palm Beach jail, Mr. Brooks was $450 of the Florida statutes; known as the Jim Crow law, of riding in a car with a passenger in incarcerate commerce for colored people and was fined $500 and costa amounting to $100. This organization, founded by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington in Boston, Mass., is composed of the leading business and professional members of the race, and the selection of Dallas, by the board of directors of the league, as the next meeting place of the national body was made over several other strong contenders. As far as The Informer can recall, the league has never convened in Texas before, and, while Dallas will be host to the 1927 session in a specific manner, all Texas will be host in a general way. The commig of the national organization to Texas ought to revive interest in local leagues, chambers of commerce and commercial clubs in the various cities of this state, and Texas should be encouraged to participate in business and professional men and women to the Dallas gathering. Much of the credit for landing the 1927 session of this organization is due the Dallas colored and white Chambers of Commerce, city officials, business men, and the Dallas Express, edited by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, a vigorous campaign to bring this body to Texas next year. Damages of $25,000 are asked for on the grounds that the defendants carried, with Mrs. Brooklyn, thereby subjecting her to insult, mortification and harassment to her insult, mortification and general health; that their agents acted 'carelessly, negligently, and unkindly' in having her ejected and unkindly in having her ejected and had purchased as an interstate passenger; and that they caused her to be uninvolved in inconvenience, expense and injury. With the largest colored population of any Texas city, and more members of the race in business and the professions, the Negroes of Houston should get busy at once, revive their inert organization, place men at the head who will function and thus bring into existence a movement so badly needed in this city. With all our boasted numbers, material holdings and business concerns, we have no organization body for a good of all, who one seeming to be content content along individualistic lines. BISHOP TEACHERS WED HERE. This is the day of organized effort and combinations, and unless the Houston business and professional men of color realize this patent fact, subordinate their little selfish and petty feelings to the business and professional men of color, we are hope for very little along business and commercial lines. Miss Juntia Moore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Robinson, Truly Mrs. Juntia Moore, Christmas morning, at 6. O'clock. Rev. E. L. Harrison officiating. The bride and the girls are teachers at Bishop College, Marshall. With the approach of the new year and its great opportunities, as well as responsibilities and duties, let us resolve to establish and perfect a real functioning business men's organization in "Heavenly Houston." By O. P. DEWALT President of the Council of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Being an active member of the local Interracial Commission, has placed in a position to fully appreciate the work undertaken by this body and the humanitarian spirit that is behind it. The Commission has also served to notice the change in interracial relations in the city—a bitter battle that has been ongoing, times, to the attention of those who are in a position to remedy them. DeWALT has been a leader in the recently been erased, the powers that be are demonstrating their apathy and recognizing some of the inalienable rights of the city's most unfortunate minority groups. That through the Interracial Commission and other co-operative agencies of the Christianity, the white people of this country will be more fully aroused to participate in leadership and that the Negro will be more fully aroused to his responsibility. Seeding, as I do, the great work that is ahead of us, and having initiated the formalized successfully through this Commission. It is in inconceivable that we say nothing about their good intentions, even to say nothing about their good deeds, that members of the colored part of the local Intercultural Commission should permit representations that are members of this commission and the general public. The president of the local branch of the N. A. N. A. C. P. at the time Collins got in trouble and have served as the chairman of the Luther Collins' case was officially placed in the hands of the National Colored People at a citizen's meeting held at St. James M. E. Church, united Colored People at a citizen's meeting Alliance, on or about the 15th day of March, 1921. The colored chairman participated in this meeting, and as a member of the N. A. N. A. C. P., was made secretary of the special committee. We were forced to replace him because he could, not find time to attend. LOCAL MUSIC ASSOCIATION RAPS WHITE DAILY PAPER FOR INSULTING ARTICLE At a meeting of the Houston Music Association, of which Dr. P. D. Wheeler was chairman, on December 19, 1988, the following resolutions were unanimously passed by the body: 1. A certain daily news article of this city carried a report of a visit of members of the city school board to our schools (Jack Yate High); and 2. Whereas, on this occasion the class in the music department was constituted of the work in singing Negro spirituals; and 3. Whereas, this demonstration was made the subject of much decision on the part of the Houston pupils were referred to as "ingers"; 4. Whereas, certain altered statements were carried in this article relative to dvorinetry at the phrase "ingers"; and 5. The pupils were referred to as "ingers"; At the meeting, we in the Houston Music Association, in session assembled, do vigorously protest at the phrase "ingers" (the Houston Prentice); it be further resolved that we hear our opinions in its editor, C. P. Richardson, for the stand taken in the matter, and that we should stalwart stand in all matters pertaining to the race. And that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our minutes and that a copy be sent to the president. OFF TO OMEGA CONCLAVE H. P. Carter, basisman of the U. Pai Phil Omaha chapter of the Houston, left Saturday night for Chicago, II to attend the fifteenth annual conference of the national organization. The chairperson sent Mr. Carter as a delegate. assisted by W. L. Davis and others, directed every phase of this case from the date of this meeting until its chapter soliciting and securing the necessary legal and racial Commission, the Ministers' Alliance, labor organizations, social organizations, and more. The Interracial Commission gave the Collins case their moral support, being active in our initial citizens' meeting mentioned above, and having representation on Collins' bond and the event of his trials. This Commission, as other organizations and individuals that co-operated with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the Collins case, have been given full credit for their unselfish work for an unfortunate creature; but, the party who is not the only one of the following movement that "the Commission employed lawyer, went into the court and asked for a change of venue"; that they "secured another trial, making bond for the prisoner in the sum of $2,500," etc., has utterly disregarded the facts in the case. I headed the committee to the employee of the law and paid them over each time the case. I personally secured every signature that appeared on Luther Collins' bond. This case dragged in court for nearly five years, having been tried three times before Collins secured bond and it was finally dismissed, after trial resulting in death sentence, a mis-trial of ninety-nine years. During all of this time nobody was in doubt about who was directing it, along with the fact that numerous newspaper articles were published locally and nationally under the head of the N. A. A. C. P., stating that facts may be misnoted. In the event of the mined anything to discredit us. We heard nothing to the contrary until Luther Collins was a free man! It is unfortunate, indeed, that the two who are responsible for conveying the message to the members of the Interracial Commission and to the uninformed public, have to calculate the effect of creating friction between two organizations that are not connected to people. There is sunshine enough for all of us! There is a world of work that is being done by the institution undying credit upon any organization that will do it. We are doing instead of undoing—so that when we get the final call from the edge of the building, we will not have to borrow from the other felon.

As seen at the Yates-Colored High football team at West End Park Christmas Day. The Christmas Day and the partisans of both teams are crowding into the park to winen the first annual clash of two colored high school football teams. A typical Christmas crowd—society, would be charity and has been society, all mingling and mixing in a true democratic manner. "Oh, why should the material be so bad?"

Mrs. Maggie Gardner and Miss Odie Lee Gleen, inseparable companions, occupying a box seat and holding a bigger box, an honest-to-goodness package for some lucky person. John Barlecorn scored first touchdown, and his victim, all dressed up and unable to go anywhere, is a pathetic and sorry figure in the grandstand. Too full of the "spirits," eh? Mr. and Mrs. Alex Johnson and daughter, Mrs. C. W. Hicks, just smiling in to beat the band. "There's a reason-"son-in-law and hobby, C. W. is one of the officials of the game.

Henderson, Bruce principal, occupying lofty position waiting for the cheering and pushing strong to leave the park. He believes in "safety first." My goodness, just listen at the "ifs," as the students and rooters leave West End. Either in victory, defeat or a tie, Old Man If is ever present. Let 'em "if!" The "elevator boy" wants to know if "jewel" is a gem or precious stone, what is a jeweler. Happy and Prosperous New Year to everybody that's anybody, everywhere and anywhere!
