Houston Informer

York Masons Meet Here; Chicago Cops 2 Games THE HOUSTON INFORMER 5 PRICE CENTS MEDAL AWARDED SOUTHERN SHERIFF THE MIRROR By C. F. RICHARDSON Richardson Castigates Supreme Chancellor Green of New Orleans In a lengthy and voluminous letter, which appeared in last week's issue of The Informer, H. S. W. Green of New Orleans, La, supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, etc., took umbrage at and disagreed with the editor of this paper annotated statements made by the Pelican City fraternalist during the supreme lodge of the order, which appeared in The Informer under date of August 27, 1927 (Brown, 1927). The editor of the report at the Forum Hall, 824 East Forty-third Street, Chicago, Illinois, Saturday evening, August 12, 2027, and "low-rated" the South as being wholly unfit and too uncivilized for the supreme body to hold one biennial session at Dallas, Texas, or any other city of the "far South." Now, after his speech is a matter of record and almost ancient history, Mr. Green becomes incensed and demands The Informer to make a public retraction of his (Green's) report scurrilous attack upon the South; charge him with the wrongness of his statements to so muddy the waters as to conceal the real issue in this would-be controversy. The editor of The Informer was present when the 1929 convention city was selected, and heard all the speeches made in defense of Dallas and Indianapolis, the two contesting cities for the next biennial session of the Python order; and we are of the opinion that Mr. Green was so perturbed in the matter that he had to make a public retraction that he made the remark that "The South is no decent place for any black man's wife, daughter, mother or sweetheart." This utterance of him has perforce, escaped his memory, we wish to remind the supreme chancellor that he made this statement the supreme representatives hissed and booed him to such an extent that the public would have been ashamed of him. He compelled to stop his (Green's) speech and beg the brethren for order and proper respect to the men of his speech; and then Mr. Green added that he had listened to the proponents of Dallas and he thought they ought to listen to his words. He was also ashamed when all who heard him in said Southern state. He cited this incident to show the delegates how dangerous it would be for them to invade the South in Pullman cars, and he was ashamed of the public's refusal to help him for him to cross the Ohio River. Anti-Texas and anti-South propaganda was dispensed freely at both convention sites by Green henchmen and hangers-on, and many wild, inflammatory and lurid statements made about him. The veracity of this report uttered of Mr. Green can be verified by any number of the supreme representatives—even by some of the supreme chancellor's erstwhile stanchen supporters, who left the Windy City session to attend the convention. Without being accused of violating any proprieties, but in order to establish the truthfulness of our editorial contentions, we herethow reproduce a letter, verbatim, from the grand chancellor of the Colored Knights of Friars, William H. H. C. C. that describes what The Informer said about the supreme lodge. The letter follows: I am so highly pleased to have read the article and editorial in your valuable paper touching on the action of the supreme lodge at the session just before the meeting, and I am delighted to have ideas conveyed there, and I am delighted to inform you that every expression meets my full approval. I was present at the meeting, and I am in position to know that you have stated facts in every utterance, and you may have made mistakes, and you will adjust all matters pertaining to Pythianism and the general welfare of the people at large. We are certainly proud of the fight we made in defense of Pythianism, and we are proud of the principles of Pythianism as long as friendship warms the heart of man. The supreme chancellor also suggested that The Informer inform the reading "public that Indianapolis won over Dallas by 60 to 47, rather than by 50 to 47 with his victory," his response was one particular in view and in years to come. The supreme chancellor was Dallas South, and with the delegates being forced to vote their choice of convention city by acclamation. To be frank, Dallas, Texas, and the South really warn a moral victory. The expression of a man's suffrage is by secret ballot, why didn't the supreme chancellor submit the motion made and duly seconded that the method of voting for the 1929 convention city be done by ballot? Why did the supreme chancellor refuse to put this motion before the supreme body, if he felt that he had his case already won after his tridecimal vote? Why did the supreme chancellor duly-dally and act like an amateur presiding officer when this motion was properly submitted to the supreme body? Let him answer these queries! During the course of Mr. Green's remarks against and libel of Texas and the South, he was repeatedly interrupted by delegates—not all from the South, but all from the North. As a matter of fact, so bitter, vitriolic and sulphuric was the Green attack and box barrage against Texas and the South, that Dr. A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the Southern Baptist Convention, lade, opened his rubait and reply with the statement that any man who is ashamed of his wife, should divorce her; meaning that any man who lives in Texas should divorce his wife, section as the supreme chancellor does, should remove to some other section of the country. Green should bear in mind that he does not hear nor direct a section of the national organization; whose main financial and moral strength lies in Southern jurisdictions; and that people who bear all the freight, should at some time, have some say as to their goods. It is not our purpose to enter into any newspaper controversy with the supreme chancellor, nor to extend the discussion regarding the failure of VOLUME IX Hon. C. F.

The funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. James Church, of which Mr. Turner was a member and to which he was a liberal church.

He was stricken with pneumonia and were held that he would be spared for more years of service. He was passing Friday night to be the most colorful political careers on record in Illinois. For ten years he had been a member of the first seminary district. During his term as state representative he was elected to the most colorful political careers on record through the house of the state senate and senate with success. His popularity among fellow legislators was strong. He was friendly personality and a sort of general admiration of him. He was to be able to drive a "good political bargain." The funeral services Wednesday were a host of law-makers, and political leaders of both races. Other members of the esteemed house of the state senate were in the mania of floral designs and receivers turned. Turner was born fifty-eight years in 1898. He immediately earned his career and for number of years has served the city which has meant for the civic progress of his race.

C.—(PNS) —Claude Larg, aged 35, died in a local hospital Thursday as the result of a second encounter between whites and blacks in this county during the past week. He was a graduate student next day afternoon at Grever, a Cleveland county town, when he was set upon and beat over the head by four young white men, who are said to have disappeared after the beating, and are now being sought by officers. He was also beaten against the head by Beern Hicks, Jack Westmoreland, Marcel Fortune and Hoyle Allen. According to the police, the slaying developed from another fight of Saturday night, and against the head he gave him a severe bating. When the boy's case came up before Mayor Dorsey, the shalt man testified against him. He said that they whites told Long that they would get him, it is said. equipped and most important institutions of its kind in the country. This year, for the first time, it is given to students years' college course leading to the degree of bachelor of arts.

The National Baptist conventions have held sessions in the South both for the first time and for the last time. The Green militia number of Southern whites—hold a national gathering in Atlanta, Georgia, during recent years, and no "racial trouble" has been reported yet. The Informer contends that, if these bodies and organizations can bring their memberships to the South and Texas for an occasional national convention, and no "racial trouble" is precipitated, then surely the little handwritten note was repudiated by the national militia, would not engender racial antipathy and animosity by holding one biennial convention in the "iar South" or "near South." Mr. Grabbe and the South have commanded the colored military forces and whites at Brownsville and Houston, yet he was not fair enough to add that the Eighth Illinois Regiment, commanded in its entirety by colored officers, trained at Camp Logan (Houston) for several months, and not one soldier was repudiated by the national militia, outfit and local white civilians; and when the regiment was entrained for a port of embarkation, the white citizens of Houston had nothing but words of praise for the high type for the regiment and not deserved. These Negro officers and soldiers walked the streets of Houston daily and nightly, with their caviers on their uniform, and no "irresponsible ances say whether or not this editor misquoted and misrepresented the discussion." Since Mr. Green has been of such inspirational and informational service to the Pythian jurisdiction of Texas, and, since he mildly chided and infen- rence himself to the Pythian jurisdiction of Texas, he has funded the state fraternity to the national Pythian temple at Chicago, why doesn't the supreme chancellor render this type of service to his Northern, and how does he manage the demands and then ask for financial assistance in this colossal undertaking? The Informer has nothing to do with the policy of the grand chancellor of Texas in his attitude regarding the national temple of the order, now under his direction, and he has not connected with it; and, if Mr. Green wanted to "smoke out" Mr. Willis because the latter has not yet come across with the coin of the realm from the supreme chancellor on Mr. Green's pet scheme, then that is his affair and not ours. Furthermore, if the supreme lodge decides to meet only in such city and where in certain conditions exist, we think it will be quite difficult to reach the supreme lodge, and now in Indianapolis, the supposed host of the 1929 biennial supreme lodge; and then read the record of graft and duan domination of the Hoosier government in the state of Indiana, and other manifestations and ramifications in that state at Gary; the "jim-crow" schools now being foisted upon the Negro government of that state and section, and other manifestations and ramifications The Informer admits that the South is no ideal place, as it relates to rela- tions between the races; yet this paper does contend that interracial relations have improved considerably within the last few years, and that a new prejudicial and intolerant, is not far distant. If the Negroes of America can read and interpret the handwriting on the bloodly bloof of sectionalism; and that while a type of we might be given as bloodly bloof of sectionalism; and that while a type of we might be given as THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1927 MORE CONTESTANTS ENTER RACE FOR CHRISTMAS TRIP TO HAVANA; BIG CONTEST BEGINS OCTOBER 15 That The Houston Informer's "Popularity—Trip-To-Cuba Contest" bids fair to hold the center of the stage from Saturday, October 15 to Saturday, December 17, 1927, is indicated by the unusual interest already being manifested in the contact by persons in all sections of Texas and adjacent states.

Mr. Green charged that The Informer's Chicago correspondent placed his wife in the wrong light in the new item regarding Mrs. Green's activity with the Texas senator. Mr. Green was supposed to have made her "insulting speech" to the good women of Texas and the South, this editor does know that a lengthy conference was held at Hotel Trenier, headquarters of the Texas Pythian Society, where Mrs. Green was present. By Mrs. Green, and when the confab adjourned at an early morning hour, it was stated that the supreme counselor of the Court of Galantia had been sent to Texas to try to straighten out matters as a result of Mrs. Green's insulting speech at the church yesterday. Since there were several of the Texas Caliphates present at that conference, and reported that Mrs. F. H. McPherson of Gainesville, grand worthy counselor of the Texas order, made a heated reply to the speech of Mrs. Green, The Informer is willing to pass this matter to the other side of the house; and this paper would be glad to hear from one of the senators.
