While talking about Dallas and the fair, we wish to cite the attention of Editor John W. Rice of the Dallas Express, President H. A. ("Pops") Strickland of the Excelsior Mutual Benefit Association and other chessy Dallasites of color, to the fact that Houston is not only leading Dallas in the benefit association but the latest figures from the state highway office, Austin, show that Dallas is second with 67,612; while San Antonio ranks third with 87,670 and Fort Worth fourth, with 42,654. The organizations gave Dallas a 450 majority over Houston, but the 1928 figures clearly indicate that Dallas is trailing Houston. Of course, those alibi-hunting Dallasites will now swear that several thousand automobiles are traversing Dallas and that the streets of that city without the mere formality of registering with the Texas Department of Transportation or that Dallas has sold several thousand cars since the compilation of the above figures. Dallas will "birds" like we do, we venture the assertion that they will claim that Dallas did not purchase any cars, in order that Houston could at last win one flag in 14 years. Oh, gas! and nerve of those Dallasites. The formal opening of the Dunbar National Bank, located at 2342 Eighth Avenue, New York City, and named after the lamented Negro post, Paul Laurance Dunker, marks a new epoch in the banking history of America and for the venture is successful (and we see no reason why it should not be similar financial institutions possessing larger colored populations). The Dunbar bank was launched by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and is located in Harlem, better known as Located in New York, the heads are all members of the white race (John D. Rockefeller, III, being the majority of the employees who are members of the colored race.

GOREE, Texarkana, son of the late Grand Master H. G. Goore, the late Old George, an eminent self district, grand director of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, has been appointed as district grand treasurer of the order, to fill the unexpired term of the late G. W. Andrews of Bells who was heavily murdered in one of his colored tenants several days ago. In promoting Mr. Goore to this important post, the executive board pursued the policy of advancing a member of the "cabinet," and the appointment was unanimous. Mr. Goore, a product of Bishop College and Prairie View State College and the Fruited Boundary Company of Texarkana, was principal of a public school in that city for several Despite the absence of hair on his head (which, in some people, denotes maturity) and his appointment will meet the approval of the younger members of the order, who hold to the rules of the order, pre-parent youth must be served.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPT. 29, 1928 N.A.A.C.P. Reports Defense Fund For Last Sixteen Years New York City, Sept.26.—Increasing importance of the legal defense work in behalf of the Negro, conducted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, and growth in the number of appeals for aid, have prompted the issuance of a summary of the history of N. A. A. C. P. legal work. This summary, covering the years from 1912 to date, shows that up to August 31, 1928, there have been expenditures of $73,814.97, including appropriations of $2,770.18 from the general fund, for legal defense. These expenditures of the N. A. A. C. P. during 16 years—less than is often spent commercially on a single case—have funded five cases before the United States Supreme Court establishing the Negro as a right as well as hundreds of cases before the lower courts. The five cases participated in and won before the U. S. Supreme Court are: Grandfather clauses case, 1913; Louisville segregation case, 1917; Arkansas riot cases, 1926; Texas white primary case and Louisiana segregation case, 1927. The smallest sum expended from the legal defense fund on any one case since 1919 is $9.00, and the largest sum, on the two trials of the Sweet case, $7,849, with the Arkansas peonage cases, $1,049, and the expended by the office branches of the N. A. A. C. P. office independently fought cases to successful conclusions or have raised and expended large sums in cooperation with the national office.

C.—(ANP)—From 22,540 employees in 1910, whose total yearly salaries were $12,456,000 to 11,828, on June 30, 1928, whose yearly share of pay from the United States was稼働和formed to the story of the Ngro workers who are at this time being carried on Uncle Sam's pay roll, as efficient and well-paid servants of the public trust of governmental service. During the interim, at the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923, the Ngro civil service personnel of the federal government were稼働和formed to number approximately 51,905 workers, with a total annual earning capacity of $23,655,956. These are the facts disclosed in a report which has just been released by the secretary of labor. The tremendous gain of 29,265 workers and the lump total salary of $40,199,199 caused by the $23,540 workers and $12,456,700 in yearly salaries in 1910, to 51,905 workers and $38,655,956 in 1923, is no more remarkable than the salary total of $44,183,133 for the fiscal year 1928, a gain of $11,827,174 over that of 1923, a year which represented the close of an era in the rapid recovery of poverty from the outbreaks of war of the World War. The personnel totals of 51,905 for 1922 WITH ASSOCIATED N In connection with the above summary, Arthur B. Spingarn, chairman of the national legal committee of the N. A. A. C.

TRUCK SHATTERED BY HITTING BUMP; OCCUPANTS FLEE New Orleans, LA.—(ANF)—John L. Walters, white, looked in the rearview mirror as he drove his car leisurely along Poynton Street and saw a small break spotted. A porcelain colored woman was at the wheel of the puffing truck and two companions sat beside her where space was left. She bumped as the truck struck his car in the rear and the sight of the offending car disappeared from the mirror. Walters stopped his car and approached the truck had collapsed into a heap of oil. She, however, was waddling off up the street at her best speed and her companions were turning a corner at a diary pace. The truck had collapsed into a heap of oil. One slight bump had caused it to fall apart. NEGRO PRESS SERVICE NEW SECRETARY ASSUMES WORK; EVENT PLANNED MRS. V. H.

The banker was received the honor of being the first deputier, although he was not present. A long line of new depositors formed early in the evening, continued until nine in the evening. The Dunbar National Bank is established in the Dunbar Apartments of New York City, colored tenants by Mr. Rockefeller for congestion among poor Negroes. Very few poor Negroes, however, were able to deposit money, because of their nearness and pretence, were quickly gobbled up by the literate and intelligent, who were in considerable elation over the founding of the bank, it amounts, not to a bank, sought, but a white bank which is disposed to hire a larger number of Negro employees than other white residents of the bank, the resident manager of the apartments, is the only Negro on the board of the bank, or major officials of the bank are colored. The bank employees a colored receiving teller, paying teller and guard office in the Negro district of Chicago. SEVERAL INMATES BURNED BY BLAZE; GIRL'S BODY FOUND According to telephonic information received here Thursday morning, fire of an undetermined origin completely destroyed the hospital at Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College early Thursday morning, and also burned up the residence of Dr. J. M. Franklin, resident college physician, which was adjacent to the eleemosynary institution. It is reported that several student-inmates of the hospital were severely injured and seriously burned in the conflagration, with which the college fire department was unable to cope. The body of one girl, Missouri Taylor, was found in the ruins, according to latest report. As soon as news of the disastrous blaze reached Houston early Thursday morning, several local physicians rushed overland to the state school to render first aid to the injured. Among the Houston doctors responding to the appeal for medical assistance were: Dr. H. E. Lee, G. P. A. Forde, R. O. Roett, F. F. Stone, W. M. Drake, C. W. Pemberton and B. J. Covington. This is the second calamitous conflagration to occur at Prairie View within recent years, one of the girls' dormitories having beet razed to the ground by a blaze during the wintry season of a recent session. The frame shack employed as a hospital was a veritable firetrump, and was totally unfit and inadequate for such purpose. One redeeming feature about the unfortunate incident is that work has already begun on a $100,000 hospital, the building having been made possible by an outright gift of this amount from the General Education (Rockefeller) Board of New York City.

C. — (ANP)—With reports reaching the American Red Crest that loss of life, injuries, property damage and numbers of homeless in some sections of Florida will require the relief organization immediately urged upon its chapters throughout the nation the great need for running monetary assistance for both the Florida and Porto Eleanor victims of the West Indies hurricane, with the relief organization greater loss than in 1926, according to the first definite reports to reach the public which were contained in the following message to the Red Crest, Washington, from Howe Island, where the Beach County Chapter and James N. Gilman, chairman of the chapter's disaster relief committee: "Total known dead 400, mostly colored; 18,000 homeless; 8,000 without clothing. Feeding 9,000 at sea; 1,000 in the care of our official estimate of property damage to $30,000,000. Food and water conditions satisfactory, far. Temperature shelter satisfactory.

Jr. Amy Mukherjee of the Mason Hooker company were being established in Stockade, one at Miami and a second at Pompano. Red Crawfish Cross direction of disaster relief in Florida, moved his headquarters from the Mason Hooker stockade in West Palm Beach, to his beach location. Before leaving Jacksonville, he wired a resume of storm damage in 22 counties, showing that 18 of the storms were caused by so slightly from the storm that no relief work would be necessary. Two relief work beaches suffered greater damage than in the previous hurricanes of 1926, and Broward, suffered great damage. Telegrams from all over the nation from chapters staining collection of money for the relief fund had gotten through the press of the press, the radio, and the clergy.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1928 AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWS PAPER FIFTEEN NATIONS SIGN PEACE PACT That is the most important and the portentous news of the world. And yet, it isn't so: in the first place, there were Ireland, Canada, the United States of Africa, Australia, and the New Zealand. These five so-called countries were there. The contrary nowwithstanding, are not going to declare war on anybody except the United States, and things now stand, economically and politically, among these units of the British Empire. It is not quite true, these countries the importance of the signatures of independent nations. In fact, they would suffice for all of them. It does no harm to have them sign. It does good: it causes them to feel more important and more intended as members of the British Empire. And it helps to, or so, to make that of them that empire. It may, indeed, prevent war, for it may help along the gradual dissolution of empires and the formation of a sort of United States of the World. SERVICE COUNTS The one element characteristic of all successful institutions throughout the ages is SERVICE. One other thing that threatens the peace-producing influence of this country is the presence of Russia, China and Nationalist India, about half of the world’s population. Russia and China will be more inland and less inland than in city—and include Ireland and Australia while excluding India is to disturb the peace of the British Empire, at least. There are also other vast areas of the earth and numerous groups of people who are interested in the "peace." Perhaps they will be considered as "spheres of influence" of the powerful nations which are signifying the great power of the sphere of domination in another possible disturber of the beautifully spoken nations. Then, too, the conflicting attitude and relations of the signatures to the outcast nations, like Rumania, or to the powerful nations, like Russia, may disturb the peace. Or, else these signature nations might agree in their signature nations and people in their signature nations and people in their signature" itself will thereby become a more alliance of the more powerful nations against the presently less powerful half. SERVICE is an asset which is always worth its price, and for which the public is always willing to pay. He who serves himself and no other is a failure, though Death releases his grasp on the ransom of an empire. The only hope, therefore, that this peace of Paris will become a peace of the world is that it must be extended to all nations, and include all nations and all peoples. We are dedicated to SERVICE among the Negroes of Houston Texas, the South and the Republic.

We, with cargo far more precious than a ship, often drift with no goal in mind.

Weekly Excursions BY ALICE DUNBAR-NELSON My feet turned to the school-room as soon as the bell told the children to say good-bye to freedom and play in the classroom. Near and year of the birth of reporting for school-room duty on the day after Labor Day was too firmly held by Labor Day, marching past the window without wishing to follow them. And so I did, and they led me to the Katherine school, the first day of school, and early in the forenoon. It seemed cruel to inflict a visitor upon a principal at such a time. The principal, in institution, adjusting classes, getting the machinery of the school oiled and the instrument, adjusting classes, getting the teacher my conscience smoke me, but I put it firmly by, and went on in. The principal, Mandele, visited a visitor other than parents. Her welcome was sincere and cordial. The part-time teacher was unhurried, unfurried. I had peeked into a room on the first floor, here first year to ten in the school, a bright-eyed teacher, smacked and cheerful. They were all busy, trying and happiness filled the room. Impossible, thought I, in the first hour and a half of school. "But then, it But Mrs. Bouffard took me to the sixth and the fifth, and the fourth, and on down. Twenty teachers in all, some colored some uncolored, each one working on the sixth and the fifth, which we entered in this first morning of school on the morning going on, on grams being arranged, seating completed, adjustments made, machines arranged, seating completed, adjustments made, absolute freedom from confusion. Those of us who are teachers or who have been teacher, students, or students, are the machinery of the school going at once, with friction or flurry. The principal smiled, but made a little gesture of depreciation, as if they were not that. No wonder principal is proud of the colored principal, as if they were that. And the principal is a principal. For judging by Keith School on September 11, education may well be guided Madeline.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1928 FINDINGS SHOW MANY FEDERAL OFFICES SOLD Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—By the time the senate's special patronage probe committee gets back on the job after the November election, there are again signs of the committee will involve some "big white folks" just as the information put to use directly by the Republican National Convention resulted in the indictment of Perry W. Howard, Republican commissioner of the Justice Department for Benjamin Jefferson Davis, Howard's Georgia contemporary. After the onslaught on Davis and Howard, protests that the action of department of justice officials was府 authorized for Negro Republican leaders in the South to "hily-white" in fluenza cases of the attack, and active work postponed until after the election, who has many office holders throughout the South, set about to find out how his subordinates had been abolished. The senate has evidence in the form of affidavits from postmasters and others in the department, substantiating in large measure the charge of a wholesale traffic infraction. The affidavits, which are closely guarded and will not be made public during the litigation after the elections, were made, according to Senator Broarkhart, a former member of the order issued by Mr. New calling upon every postmaster in the four states to say under oath, "I will be the pointings and who made the demands upon them." In the affidavits he has so surprised us that it is probable Mr. New will be asked to ex- EASTERN LEADER PRAISES SMITH AS NEGRO'S FRIEND New Haven, Conn.—(ANP) Connecticut's largest and most enthusiastic meeting of colored voters in the interest of the Democratic candidate was recently held in Old Fellows' Hall, where E.

Dr. Roberts is to be elected on the trustee board of Lincoln University, and until recently was chairman of that institution's alumni association. He was at one time a member of the New York City University. In the interest of race progress, Dr. Roberts believes that the Negro should divide his vote, not only in his campaign. With Alfred E.

One of these, it was disclosed here this week, was Senator William J. Harris of this state. Senator Harris became director of the census under the Wilson administration, and he discussed with the chief clerk the question of segregation in the department, according to the senator's own statement. “There were a number of these Negro clerks who had always worked with the census department, in the different sections of the census office,” he said. “I issued to the chief clerk an oral order that the segregation be made.” He declared that this order was in compliance with time Mr. Howard, aspiring to the presidential nomination, opened his campaign. Total blame for the eradication of segregation in the Department of Commerce is placed upon the shoulders of Mr. Hoover by Senator Harris, who fought for the same things in France that their white comrades fought for in the United States in peace, or that colored women and white women should work on terms of equality. Hoover learned of this segregation through the complaint of an Ohio editor, he broke up "u" the Southern senator complain.

The Houston Informer Negro voters are bolting and revolting against traditional party lines as they have never done before. Negro Smith organizations, North South, East and West, are about as much as they have done in their Republican opponent. According to my personal observation and the best information I can secure, about 40 percent of the 100 candidates approached as to their preference, oppose declare for Smith or remain noncommittal. If the Republican conference eliminated that the Democratic rivals, it is by reason of the fact that the Republican conference competent staff of professional politicians who are adepts at the game, there is but one practical remedy for Negro voters.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BG GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWARDS. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS - ROSEBEYL. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1928 SMITH ON PARTY RESPONSIBILITY In his transcontinental tour, Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, Democratic presidential nominee, is proving quite a drawing card, and thousands of people are listening to and cheering him wherever he appears or delivers one of his celebrated invective against the Republican party and its presidential standard bearer, Hon. Herbert Hover. In his Oklahoma City address a few nights ago, Governor Smith, by resuming to those religious fanatics and zealots who are opposing the Democratic presidential candidate because of his church connections, projected the religious issue more to the fore and became very tolerant of those who are opposing him because of his liquor and religious views. At Helen, Montana, Governor Smith took the firm position that Mr. Hover and the Republican party are wholly responsible for all the corruption, graft, pillage and fraud charged against certain Republican during the Harding administration. If Governor Smith's position is feasible and tenable (and we are not contending to the contrary), then what about the responsibility of his Democratic party for the injustices, inequalities and double standard citizenship in southern states where the Democratic party holds sway? If a party organization is responsible for any act committed during its administration of national, state, county or municipal affairs, then must we hold the Democratic party responsible for the prologue to their national convention at Houston during last June, when certain heathenish and humish members of the Democratic party staged the first pinching bee in the history of this city? The Informer is not endeavoring to absolve the Republican party and Nominee Hoover from Governor Smith's charges and allegations, but if Mr. Hoover is responsible for the shortcomings of certain Republicans, how can Governor Smith escape or dodge the blame for the damnable and diabolical record of the Democratic party, particularly in the Southern states? We wonder if the Gotham governor, in his denunciation of the Republican party as thieves, robbers and graffers, has forgotten about the unsavvy and unspeakable record of Tammany Hall, his own "dear and precious" political organization which has been a stench in the nostril of decent American people, without regard to partisan affiliations, since the days of Tweed, Croker and others of their ilk and regime. We would like to know what Governor Smith thinks about the rotten conditions obtaining in the South, where his "darling" party has held domination since the Civil War, and where crookedness, graffing and pillage of public funds have been practiced on a basis that is not only unacceptable. What about the graft charges now being made against the Democratic party in New York City, where, it is alleged, millions of dollars have been flipped and squandered by Governor Smith's political associates and partisan comrades—where his bosom friend, "Jimmy" Walker, occupies the mayorality chair? If Governor Smith's contention about party responsibility is direct, then his Democratic party, taken by and large, can not be trusted. He is from the indicting finger at the Republican party; for whenever the kettle jumps on and calls the pot black, the former makes itself both ridiculous and ludicrous. TEXAS REPUBLICANS QUIESCENT With the presidential, senatorial, congressional, state and county elections barely a month off, the Republican leaders in Texas have shown very little interest in the great political contest now engrossing the attention of the American electorate. If Texas were a small state, making possible a whirlwind campaign in three or four weeks, there would be no cause for alarm in the present lethargy and quiescence of these party leaders; but very likely, the state would require considerably more time to effect a vile and insulting an organization in this state than it does in most of the American commonwealths. The anti-Smith Democrats, or rather the Hoover-Democrats seem to be manifesting more interest in the election of Mr. Hoover than in the election of Mr. Trump, and writing this editorial, have done little, if anything, to marshal the forces in this state favorable to the Hoover-Curtis presidential electors, and perfect and maintain the type of party organization so essential to party growth and success. If Texas is to play an important part in the presidential race, it compounded by the Republican leaders attaining a capacity and by depending upon the dissatisfied and disgruntled Democrats. The Republican party leaders of Texas have been yelling themselves hoarse about building up a strong party and getting out a candidate. The Republican party is a strong party in the history of the party in this state, these party leaders, for some reasons, do not seem the least concerned in trying to so coordinate and organize their forces as to poll a tremendous vote for their presidential ticket in the November general election. LAYMEN LOSING INTEREST IN CHURCH Whether we care to admit it or not, it is becoming more apparent every day that the laymen of our race, particularly in this state, are losing interest in church life and denominational activities to a degree that is appalling, and which bids ill for the future well-being, expansion and perpetuity of many of our churches, and connectional causes. If it were not for the women and children, some of our churches would hardly have a corporal's guard at any service, and many of our pastors would be forced to deliver their usual Sunday discourses to well-night empty pews. In fact, we have made observations in various sections of Texas and have noticed that Negroes are not attending church services as in former years, neither are they giving to the "cause" in the same manner which characterized their contributions in yester-years. Some charge that the educated Negro feels himself better than and above the church; that he holds to the view that the minister is unable to preach to him, and that our mode of worship does not come up to his conception of an intelligent and true worship of God. Others contend that many of our present-day institutions of learning are educating the colored youths away from church and God; that they are becoming more agnostic and skeptical about the teachings of the Holy Writ. The Informer believes that many of our laymen are losing or have lost interest in church life and denominational activities due to the divisive propensities of religious leaders, unprepared leadership, the poor showing made with the monies collected for certain "causes" (with the "causes" seldom receiving much of said money) and the over-emphasis placed upon carnal rather than spiritual things and values. Few of our ministers have really sensed the spirit of their day and generation, and many of them (sad to relate!) have been outstripped by their constituents in many directions, and the inevitable reaction has set in. Instead of running away from the church because certain things do not work up to their purpose, denominated laymen should face the issues as they "stay in there and fight" for what they believe to be right. If our trained and educated laymen would become more active in church life and denominational affairs, it is our opinion that the race's religious life would be considerably enhanced, and the power and lightness and evil would be overcome by the forces of right and light. THOUGHTS, ACTIONS AND RESULTS Before there can be any well-defined and intelligent action the course of procedure must have been thought out; and where there is action without any previous thought on the subject, little, if any results can be obtained. This is an age of thought, actions and results, and the man or race that attempts to put over a program without first thinking and planning it out, will suffer many reverses and ultimately meet with dismal failure. Before a man is capable of thinking, he must be trained or educated to the point where his brains can really function and not merely occupy space in his cranium. The men, races and nations who think, plan and work are the ones who move forward and lead and direct the procession; while the men, races and nations who act without thought and who neither plan nor labor intelligently, must content themselves with a back seat in the great arena of life. As thousands of young people are now entering the various institutions of learning throughout the country, the place is vast and sensual development and training of their heads (mind), as well as their hearts and hands; for there is a vast difference between book learning and genuine education. Book learning is merely the shadow, while education is the substance, and too many of our youths seem to be grabbing at the shadow and missing and disregarding the substance. Racially speaking, we do not employ enough thought in planning and mapping out our programs, underkings and ventures, and entirely too many unprepared or lily-trained men (generally white men) to be able to undertake the territories to an untimely and premature death—not because they are dishonest and crooked, but due to the fact that very little, if any, thought precedes their actions, and consequently the race can and should care for only meagre results, if the Negro race will think more, plan more and work more, the black man's status in this country will be materially improved, and, instead of simply marking time or imitating others in their superficials, our group will be able to make substantial changes and really get somewhere in the bivouac of human endeavor. OPINIONS Cimbee's Ramblings THE NEGRO VOTERS IN REVOLT! THE MIRROR (Continued From Page One) bank will be to the Rockefeller interests, the fact must not be overlooked because it is a great opportunity to learn banking both from a theoretical and practical angle; for the bank is the one that really know the banking business. Now we have another example of practice, philanthropy, in the open space of the campus. Rockefeller interests, where Negroes self-improvement and self-salience, rather than the begging and crying group in all sections of the country It angers a new day for the Negro contingent and America, who will preserve enterprises to help an unfortunate race get an even break in the battle of life. These impressible Texans, whether at home or abroad, are always doing the state on the map; and where residents of other sections of the country cowboys and skierboys men, during recent years such preconceived notions have undergone a complete metamorphosis. Texas point with pride to many distinguished sons and daughters of the Lone Star State, who are hold the various fields of human endeavor. Now a former Texan, Prof. Aaron Woolf, has been named the defender, has the unique distinction of being the first Negro to compose a team with a complete score for defense, with complete score for offense.

Recently Prof. Harrison submitted a "Song of Praise" to the Philharmonic "Saint Paul's Fancy," to the Philharmonic symphony Orchestra, and he re-organized the orchestra white orchestra leader: "We shall be pleased to have the orchestra play will permit you to conduct the rehearsal." In the present campaign, I can see but one essential principle that distinguishes the candidates—and that is the principle of prohibition. While I regret to say that Mr. Bush is not unquestionably committed to the principle of prohibition, yet the Democratic adversary stands for its importance. Mr. Smith believes that the noble experiment should be carried out constructively. Mr. Smith thinks that the ex-convict should be frustured without further trial. The Negro can justly be held accountable for his constitution, law, order and temperance. A vote for Smith counts in the contrary direction. The he can do that. He must never, however, party to understand that because he is voting the ticket he is inable to the outrageous treatment received by him. "Spiritual Fantasie," contains 12 Negro spirituals, so arranged harmonically and contrapuntally as to obey the African tradition and to treat. One movement is to contain a double canon in double counterpoint. The first time a member of the Negro race has been accorded such an honor by one of the leading musical organizations of the country, the Negro cultural ability of this Texan prodigy. Prof. Harrison was born in Texas, where he first studied music; later he studied law in Houston, D. C., and Philadelphia, where he understudied under Prof. William S. Harris, composer of music, Mr. Harrison's university of music, University of Pennsylvania, where he majored in harmony and counterpoint. He then directed his work at the University of Bridgley Love" for a number of years, where he instructed students, harmony, composition. He is also director of the Harrison Musical Studios, instructors, composers and publishers, 622. 53 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pa. FORMER MINISTER FILLS PULPIT IN LOCAL CHURCHES Rev. T. T.
