Houston Informer

S. W. GREEN LOSER IN LIBEL SUIT Pythian Hosts Invade Houston 5 PRICE CENTS VOLUME X S. W. Pyth THE MIRROR By FLOYD J. CALVIN The editor, Mr. C. F. Richardson, has asked me to give my impressions of Houston in this week's Mirror. I am very glad of this opportunity to say through a local medium how highly I appreciate having an opportunity to visit Houston, and how well impressed I am with the city as a whole, and with the Negroes of Houston in particular. I arrived in the city Saturday night over the Southern Pacific from New Orleans. This is the farthest point South and West I had planned to stop to see. I was in Lanta, Tukwakee, Hot Springs and Little Rock. My first good impression of Texas (this is my first trip into the state) was that I had to diner at Beaumont. This was quite a surprise. I have covered about 4000 miles of travel in the past six weeks. I have been lucky enough to have dinner in a diner. I have had dinner served me in a Pulliman, but I did not count it. I have counted it a feather in my cap to be able to say that the first meal I ever had was a dinner with people in the North won't believe this. Mr. Richardson met me at the train that my first impression of him was that he looks like a scraper. And from what he explains around Horton's house, he has to his looks. Readers of this paper when others are ready to compromise or give in. His fame as a man who is now nation wide in Texas and fight" is now nation wide. There are many parish Negro homes in Houston. And there are many parish Negro cars owned by Houston Negroes. I stopped at one of those homes, that is 2219 Dowling Street. I met Mrs. Covington and her daughter, Jessie, and she told me that she had a radio programs in New York. Houston is to be congratulated on having a pleasurable to hear and see her play in the at the National Urban League Conference at Philadelphia in April, and not a judge of music, others who are not a judge of music, presenters a great deal of talent, police and personality. Many of the younger set of Philadelphia were not for number of her that night but for number of her that day and she showed them the best of the young, talented Negro. Quickly, she asked the Pittsburgh Courier and I might here suggest that more of my parish Negro appear in its columns. The Courier is making a special effort to (Continued on Page Five) THE HOUSTON INFORMER Supreme Chancellor Loses Legal Battle With Houston Editor Houston Editor and Corporation Literally Run Green Into Mississippi River—Suit Mere Political Gesture—Federal Judge Holds With Texans In Legal Controversy—Green Fails To Attend Texas Grand Lodge in Magnolia City—Green's Chicago Speech Correctly Reported. Special to The Informer. New Orleans, La.—The civil libel suit filed in the federal court of the New Orleans district wherein Smith W. Green, supreme chancellor, colored Knight of Smith Y. North America, South America, Asia, Africa and Australia, sought to recover the sum of $100,000 from the Webster-Richardson Publishing Company, Inc., of Houston, Texas, publishers of The Houston Informer, styled as the "South's Greatest Weekly Newsaper," and from the editor of the Houston publication, C. F. Richardson, ended disastrously for the Pelican City fraternalist here recently. In his original pleadings, the titular head of the colored Pythians claimed that articles and editorials published in The Houston Informer, which discussed and exposed Green's open hostility to the city of the order holding its 1929 session at Dallas, Texas, had done him and his family a disgrace; that it was calculated to injure him among the citizens of this community and the members of the order; that the editorials and articles, which criticized Green's position in opposing the convening of the national body in a city of the "far South," were false, inflammatory, misleading and malicious, and that he was due certain financial considerations as a balm to ease and heal his wounds. After counsel for Green had been successful in obtaining several delays and postponements, attorneys for the Houston corporation made a motion to dismiss the cause, due to the fact that the New Orleans court was without jurisdiction to try defendants in said cause, the said defendants being residents of another federal judicial district.

RADIO STATION IS SILENCED BY FEDERAL BOARD New York City — (ANP) — Notice has been served on WEVD, the station owned and operated by Socialist, labor and progressive organizations, that its broadcasting license will be forfeited. The order has been issued by the Federal Radio Commission, which has thus raised again with greater point than ever before the issue of free speech as far as its most conspicuous channel—the radio is concerned. The Memorial Radio Fund, 31 Union Street, New York, operated WEVD for almost a year as a memorial to the late Eugene V. Debs, Socialist leader. It has been a "free speech" station giving time and the use of its apparatus to radical or other various kinds who found it impossible to handle through any of the other stations. In announcing discontinuance of W EVD's license after August 1, the commission said. "We are not satisfied that public interest, convenience or necessity will be served by granting your application for license renewal." We have been frequently heard over this station. LYNCHED BLACK RETURNS LATER ALIVE AND WELL Atlanta, Ga.—Georgia's record for 1928 is still clear of lynching, according to a statement of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, which issued a report on theduction from jail and supposed lynching to Henry Hood at Gainesville, on the night of May 14. A careful investigation of the case just made by a representative of the commission lynched nor even severely handled, but was released by the mob, later retaliated to his house in Atlanta by the mob, left for a distant city. One element of the mob, Hood reported, desired to lynch him, but insisted his realease and finally prevailed. This information, picked up from the sources, was fully confirmed by the fugitive's mother. The investigation in the jail after an altercation with a white man, was taken from the lock-up at Atlanta, where the members of the night police force were absent on their beds. As a result, the night chieft of police, who was taken from the lock-up, kepting, has been dismissed by the city manager on the charge of indefinite and leading citizens deplore the incident deply and expressed great concern that Hood was alive.

The leadership of W. S. Wills of Dallas, grand chancellor of the Texas school who is being prominently mentioned for the office of supreme chancellor of the fraternity, the Pythians and Calanthenes adopted the policy some few years ago of traveling to and from their convention city in special trains. The specials via the Katy carried standard Pullmans, thereby refuting the argument advanced at the 1921 biennial supreme lodge at Chicago by the titular head of the national organization that gets first-class railroad accommodations in the Lone Star State. With martial air filling the air; with banners and streamers floating to the morning breeze; with thousands gathered at the stations to welcome the incoming visitors; with secretarial experts assigned to tables at said stations and busy with clerical and routine work; with the special trains pouring the Pythian-Calanthene hordes into the city in numbers like John the Beloved saw on the Isle of Patmos, verily Houston took on the convention atmosphere and has steadily maintained it throughout the week. After the arrival of the special morning, transacting same with distraints, the line of march proceeded to and celerity. The tentant event on Monday morning's program is being held. Each year the annual program was the annual message of grand Chancellor W. S. Wills, which some distinguished Pythians the 1928 book being known as Garvin the garvin of the customary printed rebonishing a well-known Pythian lead—reporting the grand chancellor read a brief account of the year's achievements and the guest of the grand lodge this year.

Georgia Appoints Probation Officer Georgia Appoints Probation Officer Atlanta, Ge.—(ANF) The first-colored probation officer in the history of Atlanta has just been appointed to work under Judge Garland Watkins of the juvenile court, through an appointee from the Atlanta missioners. Mamie R. Hamilton, the recipient of the appointment, is a member of this year' graduating class of the Atlanta School of Social Work and a graduate of Atlanta University. This appointment is looked upon as a forward step in race relations in this city, indicating that Atlanta is beginning to recognize its duty not only to ward Negro children, but also the need to recognize the need for a point of interest in a source of general satisfaction to the colored people. Mrs Hamilton has not only an excellent cultural background and specialized training for social work, but also poses personality, dignity, police, force which will reflect credit on the race.

These ideas, in which there is nothing new, have been brought to the front by a remarkable sermon given by the annual meeting in which he warm against faith healers and charlatan psychai-analysis. He quotes Sir Clifford Albutt as saying, "When superstition attaches religion to man, it is used to manipulate it used to it." There was a twin in his eyes. The best thing you can do, he responds, "to get used to it." Only a few generations ago it was the doctor with his saddlebags who took the mountain paths. Later, with horse and boggy, he traversed the mountains, and automatically swiftness as well helped to his daily routine. Aerospace engineers have been frequently superseded for transportation of doctors and medical supplies. It has remained, however, for Australia to remote settlements. Since the war, newcomers to the country have settled in the vast interior of the island, where the doctor has required the use of the aerospace. Australia, with an area of 1.5 million square miles, States, is sparsely settled, having a population less than that of New Zealand, mostly along the coast, while the spurs, penetrating the great central plains, and short of the physician in central population one or two hundred miles inland, has patients living over an extended range. Where telegraph lines exist, after travelling for miles to the station, the doctor can be by wire. Then he carries out as best he can the orders received from the physician, and simple remedies and surgical material are available at the scattered government posts which include the mail The success of the experiment in the study of the healing of an adoption of a somewhat similar plan by the British and French in their own countries.

These ideas, in which there is nothing new, have been brought to the front by a remarkable sermon given by the bishop of Birmingham before its annual meeting in which he warns against faith healers and charlatan priests, and ford Albtut as saying, "When superstition attacks religion it also attacks medicine. The temper of superstition, which is intolerant of accurate reasoning, manifests itself in religion and then in scientific medicine since that is the science most closely concerned with ordinary life of the mind upon the body, but there are so many facts which are obscure, that the normal medical treatment, the normal therapy, and often when the doctor fails, thinly veiled magic may succeed. Again he says, "When once you have a supernatural ability, you are non-rational for human thought when once men set aside God's gift of reason, then progress is life Does superstition make a stronger appeal today than it did half a century ago, or does it leave scientific medicine and turn to charismatism?

SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1928 PYTHIANS IN “HEAVENLY HOUSTON” “Heavenly Houston” is host this week to the forty-fourth an- nual grand ladge of Colored Knights of Pythian of Texas, and the annual seaion of the Court of Calanthe, whose combined as- Sets and resoureen amount to 811723294, making the ‘Texas ‘order a “million dollar organization.” Tad by the intrepid and matehless W. S. Willis of Dallas, who has served aa grand chancellor of the order for the past 10 years, the Texas order has grown in strength, inflence and power, and is today royarded as and conceded to be the most outstanding sate jurladietion throughout the eolored Pythian work. Tt was ten years ago when the Pythians and Calantheans last met in this city, and at the conclusion of the 1918 session (the frat one held by the present grand chancellor) it was necessary te float a loan in.order to pay some of the current expenses inci dent to the convening of the grand body; while many of the mor- tuary clams were compelled to remain unpaid. "The rapid ise of the order’ in finances, mumerical strength and character of program initiated and executed, reads like fie- tion; and many refer to the Pythian order of Texas as the “fra ternal bay tre.” Houston is glad to welcome such an organization into its mu- nicipal conines, not because of its physieal resources, per se, but because of the type and character of work the order hax done and ie ail doing, agt only for its own members, but for the entire colored race and social unit. Tm holding their sessions in “Heavenly Houston,” the Pythians and Calantheans are mectng in the fastest growing city in th treat Southwest; a city of wonderfal possibilities and potential tice; a municipality destined to become the leading port of the pation; a city already the industrial center of Texas; city tha fords decent arid profitable employment to. more members. of the oolored race thin any other ety In the Routh; a ity ponsese ing a fine typeof citizenry, with the largest Negro population o any city in Texan, Colored Houston extends a most cordial welcome to the vist ing Pythians, Calantheans and Dokies, and shall do its best make your stay here both pleasant and profitable throughout the ay or the benefit of our thousands of visitors we wil be pardoned for citing some brief facts concerning “Colored Houston.” Houston hs 93 colored postoffice carriers, 1 postofice clerk 2 postofice terminal clerks, 30 railway postal clerks with head uaeters in this city. among whom are 18 clerk-in-charge: to aay nothing of numerous mail weighers, mail truck drivers and other ‘Sraploges serving in various eapacities with the pastoice depart ment here, is Houston has 2 Negro patrolmen on force, 5 Negro, detectives 1 truant offer, 1 publi schol phystelan, 3 nurses with the Soci Service Bureau, 3 nurses at Jefferson Davis County-City Hospi tal, 3 nurses in'the public schools, 1 family ease worker with th Social Service Bureau, 3 workers (2 matrons and I janitress) al Bethlehem Negro Day Nursery; practically all city garbage is Jnana by- Nepreees each Harry prand—jury—generel has at least one Negro in its quarterly membership; a Negro dep. Uty poll tax collector! one white philanthropist haa donated Houston Nesroes an $80,000 hospital, offcered from itehen operating room by Neyroes, and the city donated two blocks 0 hich to locate this much-needed institution. Industrially, Houstort Negroes are filling all avenues of profit able employment, and we even have Negroes serving as salesmer td saletatiog in mone of our white batinees places, To attomp to enumerate the number of Negroes holding nice jobs with vari- ‘ous local concerns and industries, such as the railroad companies cotton comparties, the Ship Channel and other lines, would be rather burdensome to our Feaders: With Negroes filling all kinds and ty of offices holding a peste t! Joba this la prantkaly ts fetaiee "hive teteee the races as a resultant, which goes to disprove the argument sc often advanced that, where Negroes hold high positions anc make good money they are a source of continual trouble and an woyance to the white Tac.

The grand chancellor graphically related the progress of the order since the Austin convention, showing the increase in the fiscal year of the order the year was $88,292.8 that interest earned on loans, mortgages, etc., showed a net increase of $302,044 over the previous year. The total interest earned in the 1921-28 interest amounted to $4,174.53 the total assets and liabilities were $829,865.57 with a financial membership of 17,294 as against 16,715 reported on 17,294 of the grand new Much Interest Collected Of the interest accrued during the year, the amount of $22,440.44 was the highest of any of the Pythians is invested in rather safe and sound propositions and prophets. Mr. Williams reported that he had visited more local lodges during the past grand tour and elevated to the head of the Texas fraternity, and that his observance of the fraternity and a healthy condition and that peace reigns throughout the Texas juridic Many Land Willis' Leadership Green and Wickham Absent Conspicuous by their absence are &amp; W. Green of New Orleans, La, superb knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, formerly missed only one session of the Texas order since becoming head of the organization, and Dr. C. B. Wickham, Oklahoma City, OK, grand chancellor of the institution, formerly in charge of the Texas encampment annually. Mr. Green sent his team to Texas, where Wickham said it with flowers, sending the grand lodge a very beautiful one. If one's cars burn when he is being driven, he is "aired out," then the superb shepherd developed a hot box on his or his ears; for he has certainly been roasted, not which seems to be filled with anti-Greek sentiment as a result of the Texas convention against Texas and the "far South" at Chicago last summer when both conventions at Dallas. Some of the francs received an award that Mr. Green gave the rat" and found it quite convenient as absent from the present grand lodge.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1928 AMERICA SCENE FROM DOKEY BANQUET, PILGRIMS' BUILDING, TUESDAY NIGHT T. A. H. HARRIS Paulin and Darrell—the Aristocrat of the Dance—have been featured in Vaudeville and Revues from coast to coast. Pearl Darrell owes her success not only to unusual ability as a dancer but to the fact that she is herself a picture of feminine loveliness. The lovely rose on her hair is no faerie than her own complexion for beauty, like her, is deeper than powder and rouge. The skin itself is clear, light, soft as rose petals. Wavine Skin Whitener—a perfumed complexion beautifier—makes the skin like that.

However, for some reason, it has been the Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green will not attend the annual convention of the Texas Pythias at Houston, having sectioned the country; marking the head of the Pythian jurisdiction of the world that he has not attended the Star Sailor jurisdiction. No. 19030 The petition of Smith W. Green, a resident of the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, and the city of Louisiana, with respect presents: 1. That your petition is the number one petition of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Pacific. That your petition is of citizenship of the United States and other persons in foreign countries belonging to the colored race. That your fraternal organization has grand and subordinate lodges in nearly every state of the United States, Illinois, New York and Texas; and your petition, in his capacity as said supreme chancellor, is a member of said fraternal organization or order and provided at the session of the Convention in Chicago, Illinois, August 20, 1927, when the city of Indianapolis, Ind., was selected as the next meeting location of the Convention.

His daily life is a practical exemplification of his faith; his ship is not quickly won, but, once secured, is of that heart-hearted sort that itself like that which Damon held for Pythia; his charity for the follies and folles of his fellows is touched with his heart. Master whom he serves; his benevolence is an unobtrusive his pity, Dr. A. S. Jackson, with a few others, laid the foundation and reared the superstructure of Pythian ships. It endures and shall ever endure. Dr. A. S. Jackson is a strong character, not always understood, prompts him to take on the role of his time; not forward to abridge his counsel, but giving his opinion, when sought or in a situation, to comprehensive, understern the blunt outside man in to be found a loving human heart, a kind soul, a devious soul devising the most generous of deeds and capable of the sublimest actions. His steps are all in the path of benefaction. He is ever a friend to the benefaction, lected, to the stranger and the friend, to the widow and the fatheress, Jackson is a great and useful man.
