Houston Informer

COLORED CITIZENS OF TEXAS: PAY YOUR POLL TAX NOW AND BE PREPARED TO SAFEGUARD YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS DURING THIS YEAR Moton Sees President and Hoover Walter Cohen To Retain Federal Post? BY C. P. RICHARDSON LAST CALL: GOLFS; NONDRAY LUNCHION CLUB UNIQUE SOCIAL APPAIR NESCO HISTORY WEEK Before another issue of The Informer reaches its many readers the time limit for the payment of the 1928 poll tax, establishing the holder of same-to-own property, and all persons who do not secure their poll tax receipt or exemption certificate by the midnight of next Thursday, January 31, 1929, will be violated and voiceless during this year. Whether we hold to the view that a citizen should pay for the voting privilege or not, the fact remains that until the present poll tax law is in effect, we will be violating this law and qualify as electors by paying the poll tax. While this is an off-year, politically speaking, it is possible that several important elections will be held in Houston during 1929, beginning with the general city election in April. The american, by popular vote, of several local suburbs, is likely to be the most populous city in the supreme court of Texas has held the annuation of such suburbs and towns, by council ordinance, unconstitutional. It is also possible that the new municipal administration will propose several bond issues during 1929, and certainly every citizen should want to have some say in such matters. The Texas legislature is now in session at Austin, and some constituents are calling for the voters of the state for approval or rejection during this year. "R is better to be safe than sorry," and the only way to be on the safe side is to go right now (PROTON) to either the court house, or some poll tax booth, and pay that poll tax, or vote in the political battle and election 1929. For the convenience of colored citizens, Alphamus Mills, popular and well-known Houstonian of color, has been designated by the county tax collector as special deputy for the Negro group, and Mr. Mills has established two booths—one at the Orgen Barber Shops, 415 Milam and 883 Prairie, and the Lincoln Theater, which qualify an voters for the elections of 1929. Polls, let's all pay our poll tax or secure exemption certificate and then fulfill our obligations and shoulder our responsibilities as citizens of this city and state. Polls, let's pay our poll tax for colored citizens throughout Texas, for the ballot in the greatest weapon of defense and offense in a democratic social order such as the United States. PAY YOUR POLL TAX NOW. * * * * Parment to a call issued by James B. Briggsy, president of the American Business Group of local business men met in his office last Friday afternoon and perfected plans for a business men's noonday luncheon club. In stating the purpose of the organization, Mr. Briggsy declared that the colored business men of Houston do not associate no essential for successful business leaders, and he had decided that the time had arrived in Houston for men to get together, organize their forces, pool their interests and put over some worthwhile and constructive program.

FIRST SECTION—NUMBER 36 New Orleans Negro May Be Boosted By Adherents For Job Factional Fight In The Offing For Port Comptroller—Lily-white Demand Scalp of Negro Leader—Cohen's Supporters Actively Pushing His Cause. Washington, D. C.—(ANP) The statement made sometime ago in press dispatches that Walter Cohen was not a candidate for reappointment to the position of comptroller of customs, at New Orleans, has been proved false by the activity of Mr. Cohen's friends and supporters to have him reappointed. Efforts are being made by the lily-white faction of the Republican party in Louisiana to have a white man appointed to the position and those on the inside were responsible for the statement that Mr. Cohen was not a candidate for reappointment and did not expect any consideration from the Hoover administration. Cohen supporters have been actively soliciting support for his reappointment, if expected that within the next few days, President-elect Hoover will be swamped with requests and recommendations from political leaders of both races to reappoint Mr. Cohen. N.A.A.C.P. INVESTIGATOR ATTENDS CHICAGO SEGREGATION MEETING; EXPOSES ANTI-NEGRO MOVEMENT That he is not entirely out of the running was borne out by a statement made by the comproller to a representative of the Associated Negro Press, that: "I can say that in my opinion I shall not be disturbed by President Coolidge. I am still on the 'pay roll' and carrying out the duties of the office. Whether I shall be reappointed is left entirely to our new president." Mr. Cohen was first appointed by President Harding but was not confirmed by the senate. Under the New York.—Full details of a meeting recently held by white citizens of the Englewood section in Chicago, to extend a segregation program against colored people, are given in the report of an investigator for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People who attended the meeting being light to pass as a white man. "Among the speakers," says the report to the N. A. A. C. P., "was a man named Carroll, who said he represented the Chicago Real Estate Board, a noble organization he terminated, and hundred per cent in sympathy with the segregation movement. Carroll opened his address by saying that since bombing had failed to accomplish its purpose (one Negro in the city been bombed six times without movement), the Curtis decision in Washington in 1926 was a gadget to the suffering Nordics of Chicago, since it legalized restriction by covenant. (Note: The supreme court has not passed on the validity of such covenants.) "He affirmed that Chicago's Negro population with an increase from 25,000 in 1926 to 1990 is now unifiable for property depreciation amounting to approximately $300,000,000. He generously admitted that Negroes had to live nowhere but butted they were occupying three times as much territory as they needed. He affirmed that the insecurity he experienced has been stopped and that the Negro never would get beyond Desk Backward. "The next speaker, an Eaglewood HOME Hoover Post?

Supporters have been actively inment and it is expected that cent-elect Hoover will be swamped ons from political leaders of both Coolidge administration he served a recess appointment and was later confirmed due largely to the efforts of Samuel O. Quirk, the president-elect of the United States. This position is the only federal appointment held by a Negro in the entire South and Cohen supporters are pointing to the fact that if he is reappointed it will set aside the sentiment of Sandra Cobra, the incumbent campaign, that President-elect Hoover is in favor of "showing Negroes the door" and would cater to the lily-white faction and the Ku Klux Klan. GATOR ATTENDS CATION MEETING; NEGRO MOVEMENT Chicago was tired of running whether they would or not because Negro "invasion." He asserted he was one of a nucleus of men who would not quit until the job of restricting was done. Negroes Should Die Or Sell "Questions from the floor brought out the fact that nothing could be done about 20 pieces of property already owned by colored people in the district until the colored people decided either to die or to sell. "The chairman intimated that things sometimes happened and that some would die, while in the latter event a white purchaser would always be provided who would enter in course of time the district would undoubtedly be 100 per cent white. Since there is at least one family that has lived in the district 25 years or more and there are 5 children, all in remarkably good health and who was not undoubtedly a chairman was not unduly optimistic. "Another man said he had sold a piece of property to a white woman and then discovered her husband was a colored policeman. She refused to move upon request and the inquirer wished to know the coveted property. He said he would and husband and wife would have to separate if she retained the property. Small concern for the care of family life! "In his closing remarks the chairman assured the audience that all it needed was the fighting spirit of the child. He said that at one time the district directed toward the stockholder—but (Continued On Page Five) PAGE TWO—FIRST IN EDITORIALS Negro Mem Legislatur Inaugura Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—Wives of the Illinois Assembly becameince they learned that their husbands had been of invitations to the inaugural ball, he Emerson in the state arsenal in Springfield.

Emmserson in the state arsenal in Springfield. There are five colored members of the lower house, and one colored senator, Adelbert H.

All one of the assembly sessions Speaker David Shanahan had informed the members that the Hamilton Club, a notoriously anti-Negro political organization, despite its so-called loyalty to the ideals of Hamilton, the first treasurer of the United States, reputed to have been a Negro, had charge of the invitations to the ball.

Two or three of the members accepted these passes from Brewing, but did not use them because of the absence of an invitation. Officers received the passes that somebody had employed this outfit and were not required to be elected state representatives. Protest against the action was made Tuesday morning by the representatives who called upon Garon Black, adjutant general, Representative Kersey informed the adjutant general that the state would not yield without proper complaint to the use of the state arsenal, constructed and maintained with the money of the taxary. It is probable that this action will cause to flare up again the charge that the new governor of Illinois in a klanman. The accusation was made surreptitiously a number of times during the recent campaign and it served to create a question mark in the mind of the governor. Almost coincident with this action in the state capitol of Illinois, comes word from Washington, D. C. that a new law which could be used to compose the bodies of the wives of representatives in congress, senators and wives of the court justice, had taken under consideration a new bry-law which could be used to create a new congressman from the First District of Illinois, out of the club. If the bry-law is issued, it will be necessary for an applicant for membership to secure the endorsement of one or more members of the approval of the executive committee Prairie View, Texas. A—through study is being made by Prairie View State College to determine the most effective and wholesome methods of stimulating and promoting the ideals of college education in the institution. P.R. W.

Discussion of studies made by faculty are studying their problems enrollees in the "New-Type Examination," the "Improvement of College Teaching," and "How to Turn Out In Quality Large" are receiving wide comment at the college. Of the over 1100 students at Prairie View, 33 won places in the first group of the college and 50 in the second group. Sixteen were dropped by reason of inadequate scholarship. The first group of the honor group consists of students who won a minimum of three "A's" in the second group. This means a qualitative value of 11 quality points. Unidentified Negro St. Louis, Mo.—(ANP)—The body of an unidentified colored man, who apparently died of exposure, was found beside a Public Service Street Car Company's waiting room at 6048 Maple Avenue early Monday morning. The man was watched by a watchman. The dead man was about 55 years old and had a heavy mustache, dark skinned and about 5 feet, 9 inches in height. His clothing included a uniform coat with white buttocks bearing the name "Pullman." A male mutilated "T. A. N." was found in the back of the car body was removed to the morgue. of the club. The executive committee is left free to disprove for any reason or for no reason. Thus Mrs. DePriest has been the most prominent of white members who were personal non grants to one of the present members. The new by-law was introduced by Mrs. Albert H. Vest, wife of an Indian representative. Indiana is one of the most klan-laden states in the union. Mrs. Vestal has denied that she had any idea of color in proposing the amendment, but the fact that the amendment will be voted on just one time is not an eligible for membership, is rumored in social circles in Washington to be more than a mere coincidence. That the amendment will be approved by no means certain, according to Mrs. DePriest, and members are said to regard it as unnecessary. Many assume that Mr. DePriest probably would not attempt to exercise her right to membership. Also there is a feeling that the power of the committee will be fitted into the committee will lead to the building up of a social oligarchy. It is interesting to note that Mrs. DePriest has been much more active socially since her husband's election in 1916. She has been given have been in her home and elsewhere. Another element to be taken into consideration is the spirit of Mr. DePriest himself. He makes a boast and fetish of his courage. He has been a member of the religion or agency in which he was entitled to membership, or his wife, should be interpreted by Negroes as a kind of weakness or backing in the face of fire, it is probable that DePriest has been a slave. Nine means were taken to stop him. Richmond, Va.—(ANP)—With Virginia and other Southern urgers the appointment of a Southern white man to the cabinet by President-elect Donald J. Trump, a white Baptist minister, started a gathering here Tuesday night by advocating a two-party system of politics in this state. Rev. Wicker pointed out that two parties were needed "because any party that has been in power as long as the Democratic party is not "died" and characterized the Democratic organization as on the most "intolerant things ever born." Negro leaders agree with Rev. Wicker and express the opinion that the future of the Negro from a political perspective is "not a two-party system operating. Negroes are virtually disfranchised by the Democratic organization and they feel that with the organization of a strong Republican party, which does not include the intolerance of the Democratic party, Negroes can potent factor in politics in this state.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1929 HOUSTON INFORMER Led all Negro Newspapers in Texas and the entire Southland during 1928, in volume of display advertising, outstripping its closest competitor by several thousand agate lines; easily sustaining its well-earned reputation as America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper In fact, THE INFORMER stood fourth in this respect amng the Negro newspapers of America, three racial publications in the metropolitan centers of the East and North surpassing THE INFORMER in volume of display advertising. Word to All Advertisers: You will certainly make a mistake if you fail to include THE HOUSTON INFORMER in your list of publications for advertising during 1929 and the succeeding years. THE INFORMER also enjoys the largest circulation of any Negro newspaper printed in Houston or South Texas, and its circulation growth during the past year, while not startling, was sure and steady. Over 65,000 Buyers Are reached directly or indirectly every week by THE INFORMER, and it is estimated that these 65,000 Negroes spend in excess of $10,000,000 per annum for the necessities of life, to say nothing of luxuries and other items.

Morehouse Victor of Morris Brown, Latter Outclassed Atlanta, Ga.—The Morehouse five went on another battalion last Saturday at the expense of Morris Brown team, 49-27. The Morehouse team got off with a flash and before the game, the maroon team was spotted a ten point lead, which they held throughout the game. I. Archer led the attack, sucking six hits during the first half, followed by Crayford, who seemed to be able to drop one from the first half Morris Brown. Throughout the first half Morris Brown totally outcried. The half ended 82-12. York minute, he simply became the Morris white managers do not wish to face to face to change their hair tights.

HIGH RATING FOR WEST VIRGINIA NEGRO COLLAGE Institute, W. Va.-President John W. Davis has just received word from Robert K. Kelly, permanent secretary of the College, advising that the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, by unanimous section of the association on January 11, 1925, has been voted full membership in the Association of American Colleges. The College is also received by the institute student body and faculty when announced last Friday morning by Alexander Washington, college registrar. Already the College has received a Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The purpose of the Association of American Colleges is to promote higher education in all its forms and to encourage its members to be included in its membership. The work policy of the association is a policy of inclusiveness and inter-helpfulness rather than of exclusiveness. Among the officers of the association are: President, New York City; Robert L. Kelly, secretary; New York City; W. W. Boghd, Ohio; W. R. Reeves, Kentucky; C. C. Little, Michigan; Dean Herbert E. Hawkes of Columbia, University, and Dr. C. R. Johnson of the American Council of Schools. Morris Brown made a desperate effort to rally in the second half but the excellent guarding of M. Archer and Crawford soon brought it to a close. Bradley, powerful center of the game, guarded throughout the game that at no time did he make the long shots for which he is famous. The Morehouse team is still the brilliant fast working bunch they were when the season opened. Their game is a combination of excellent passing and defense here and there does one player become outstanding, but throughout the game they work together with perfect rhythm.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1920 Atlanta. Ga. — The Morehouse five still continue to sweep its opponents from the floor by wide margin. The closer passing and shooting of the maroon team proves to be so much superior to that of its opponents that the scores are 2 to 1 in favor of Morehouse. Takugane was the first victim of the invasion of Alabama by the Morehouse five, being defeated by a score of 10-25. The Takugane boys looked on in amusement as Captain Graworth led his boys up and down the field. Alabama State Marshal was the next to fall prey to the fast Morehouse quintet, going down by a score of 10-16. This game was featured by clausing guard by the Morehouse forwards were able to sink more baskets than the State Normal boys. State Normal was again the victim of the maroon cagers, this time the score being 65-16. COLUMBIA CENTER IS COLORED STAR New York —(AMP) —Having starred and captured the basketball team at DeWitt Clinton High School in this city, George Gregory, one of the youngest of the game, is carrying on at Columbia University where the ball bounce boy is center on the varsity. Gregory, single-seeded, scored 16 of his team's 37 points in a recent win over College, previous to which he had starred in the Army-College game. In addition to being the particular individual star on the varsity team, Gregory is the second high point scorer in the game. He is unique in that the colored boy plays in the hardest games scheduled by any university in this section. Hour: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. 8 to 8 p.m. Office Phone: Pc. $228 418 Old Fellows Temple DR.

Western, New Jersey Union.) Lesson for January 27 11. How Believers are related to the Holy Spirit. They are regenerated by Him (John 3:5-8); they are in Christ (John 14:16); he alsoills (Eph 5:18 and Acts 4:31). To be filled with the Holy Spirit is the duty of every believer. He works for Christ without this filling (Luke 24:48; Acts 1:8). Even the temperaments of the church are filled with hands of the Spirit-filled men (Acts 6:13-15). III. What the Holy Spirit Goes (John 16:11-13) The one whim sin of the world is unbelief. The Holy Spirit convicts the people of the world of their error concerning sin and shows their guilt before God. II. He convicts the world of righteousness (v. 10, 17). He convicts the account and assent of Christ prove that He is the righteous One, and that righteousness is only possible as He is accepted as Savior. He convicts the words of judgment. To be convinced of the reality of judgment is the crying need of the world to be convinced of the reality of punishment. The sinner who refuses the righteousness which God provided in Jesus Christ also shall be judged. The only way to get the victory over the flesh (Rom. 8:12, 13). The only way to get the victory over the flesh is to place of rulership to the Holy Spirit. He leads the believer (v. 14). The Sight-filled believer lives the life of the believer. He gives assurance to the believer (Rom. 8:15-17). The Holy Spirit witnesses together to the reality of the new birth. He enables the believer to pray according to the will of God (Rom. 8:15-17). While the believer does not know how to pray as he beckets, the Holy Spirit will all pray which the Holy Spirit indies the Heavenly Father asks.

Jackson, business specialist in United States Department of Commerce, over Station WABC, at the 60th anniversary of Negro Achievements. The buying power of the Negro, as long considered as negligible, is more highly regarded now than it ever before has been. The colored people, themselves, are just awakening to their own importance as a market for goods; and to the opportunity of obtaining some of the retail business involved in providing food, shelter, the pleasures of life to their families. Today nearly a hundred thousand Negro owned business establishments are buying and selling commodities; and a goodly percentage of them are competing in the general markets. The past decade has seen an increase of Negro interest in business that may not have given close attention to the progress of these folk. Many enterprise among them have failed, and for almost every reason that may be assigned for business mortality; but as a group, they have gone forward in a way that commands the attention of the business served when one contemplates the handicaps that bear the path of those business pioneers who have had but little capital and practically no commercial experience. When a group, having started with absolutely nothing can, in less than a year, become a business, the consideration of its fellow elite corporations with assets reported in millions, individual businesses by the thousands, and trade associations by the score, all self-created, and operational, by the commercial side, and succeeding in the face of most competent and vigorous competition, the time has come to re- CHICAGO BOASTS BIG AUTOMOBILE AGENCY BY GROUP Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—Three enterprise men of Kansas City, Missouri, have launched what is probably the first incorporated auto sales agency ever operated by colored people. On January 29th, this company known as the Roberts-Campbell Motors, Inc., will open a large show room in this city, at 5044 South Parkway. The company's first saleroom is already well established in Kansas City, where the newly organized enterprise took over the business, and who has been one of the leading Hupmobile dealers in the entire western territory for the past nine years. Mr. Roberts, president of the new sales company, has had a very successful career in Kansas City, where he has been engaged only in the sale of new motor cars. In the nine years of his business there, he won two medals in national sales contest and four cash prizes for excellent salesmanship. Kemeth E. Campbell has been a national organization, has specialized in the sale of automobile securities for the past three years and is secretary-treasurer of a successful manufacturing concern. The firm is the firm, Thomas Brown, will remain in active charge of the Kansas City office while Mr. Roberts and Mr. Campbell develop the Chicago territory. RICHMOND HAS NEW FRATERNAL SUPPLY HOUSE Richmond, Va.—(ANP)—The Masonville Visitor Bureau and Supply Company was appointed here in 1888 by the founder of the institution, which was established in 1888 by Dr. H. E. Harter, an enterprise business of being one of the oldest American business dealers with Masonic books and supplies. guard that group as a crucial factor in the commercial life of the nation. There have already been many business, but indeterminate, as a program and developments are to be seen for the year 1923 and succeeding years, from the enthusiasm and determination to meet its present problems. Moreover, now will deny that the general commercial structure of the country will have been definitely improved in the direction toward which it is now striving. COMMERCIAL NEWS ITEMS Philadelphia—William A. Tooke, manufacturer of coffins and cashtas, has recently purchased, the property adjoining his former factory site at 1045 South Colorado Street, and enlarged his plant to the extent of 12 of its buildings. The Toho, Ohio—The Pioneer Real Estate and Improvement Corporation with a capital of $10,000 and just declared a dividend of 6% on its preferred stock and 2% on its common stock. New London, Conn—The New England New York Finance Corporation of New York has declared its of its fourth annual dividend amounting to 7% on its preferred stock. Chicago.....On December 31, 1928, a license was issued to the Alpha Mutual Company, a new corporation, to do business as a health and accident insurance company, the company now owns 415 such firms. New York.....Six hundred eighty-five Negroes are owners of stock and share in the profits of the Irwin Company, a large credit clothing, dry goods and jewelry establishment here. There are 78 colored people in the sales and collection departments of the company. The owners are allowed to purchase stock which paid a dividend of 6% for 1928. Located at 208 West Leigh Street, the organization plans to distribute Harriet Masonic text books, the official guide for the grand lodges of Virginia, South Carolina and other states, and will conduct a free information service on questions pertaining to Masonic law and use.

"BLACK OPALS" BY WILLIAM PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) "Black Opals" is a little magazine of exquisite verse, from the pen and heart of young Negro writers. It is published occasionally in Philadelphia, in limited numbers. The editors are: Nellie R. Bright, Arthur Huff Fauset, Allan Rand Fallowell and James H. Young. The Christians, 1928, also has some drawings and illustrations by young Negro artists. The poetry is well done and clearly printed. The little magazine is itinerant, with contributors, some of whom will make a mark in the literary world. But what we want especially to commend, is the fact that these young artists and editors have thus created their own medium for self-expression. They have expressed their own expression through their own untrammeled channels than there could ever be through the reluctant doors of other magazines—especially those magazines whose editors know little about the hindrance of youth. The idea that magazines do so much good something but a "sneck pin" in the hindle of unsympathetic critics who are ignorant of the sources of your offerings, may be a destroyer. The Negro must own publications and create markets for his products. We said somewhere before that in the 1950s, the Negro was in the service; and to be correctly expressed to the Negro we must not only do the expressing ourselves but must even "pay the expense." "Black Opus" is doing this. Their leading poem in the Christmas number is a fair triumph. It is by Harper Marshall, and is entitled "The FIRST IN INFLUENCE—PAGE SEVEN Shows Aid Negro Race in J.

Report Shows Aid Given Negro Race From J. Rosenwald Chicago, IL—(ANP)—Just what Julius Rosenwald, Chicago philanthropist, has done for Negroes is shown in the first annual report of the Julius Rosenwald Fund Foundation, which was issued recently. This report issued by the president, Edwin R. Embry, reports that a total of 4,354 Negro rural schools, which included industrial shops and teachers' homes, have been built since 1913 with aid from the fund. Over 11,000 teachers, in these modern schools which today dot the hills and valleys of almost every county in the South, are giving elementary instruction in the South. In homemaking and in simple farming and mechanical industries to more than half a million colored children. Over 300,000 have been expended upon these schools of which nearly four millions were contributed by Negroes, about one million by white Americans, over twelve millions from tax funds of the state and counties and three one third million by the fund. "The chief contribution of the fund," wards the work is the rule that no Mr. Embry states, "has been not in money or trusts, other than the money, but in stimulating states and counties to assume their proper responsibilities for schools for all classes for teachers for more than six years counties of the population in helping Negroes and white citizens to work together with the public authorities to with types of things which found it possible to support a common end of better public schools." The first report of the fund deals with types of things which found it possible to support a common end of better public schools. The report comments as follows upon the recent reorganization of the fund: "The Julius Rosenwald Fund is a development of Mr. Rosenwald's personal philanthropy which have included gifts to schools, hospitals, clinical gifts to schools, hospitals, clinical gifts to boys' clubs, $20,000,000 for an industrial museum in Chicago, six million to aid Jewish colonization upon farms in Russia, half a million to local charities in Chicago, (including Jewish, general Catholic, six million to aid Jewish University of Chicago, of which he has been a trustee for many years." "At the beginning of the year 1928, the fund, which herefore had confined itself to the rural school program, was expanded and reorganized. Officers were appointed to give their knowledge to the board, an boarding board of eleven trustees was created. Mr. Rosenwald made an additional gift during the year which brings the capital resources of the fund to slightly above two hundred thousand share of the common stock. The fund also has a market value as of December 31, 1928, of about $30,000,000." "In order to have the fund most useful in this generation and to avoid any possibility of the development of bureaucratic tendencies over a long period, it is important that the fund be provided that capital as well as income may be spent at any time and has stipulated that the entire fund both principal and interest must be spent within twenty-five years after the grant is made against a perfunctory attitude to Failed To Fasten Murder Charge On Innocent Negro Knoxville, Tenn. — (ANP) — EDITOR of the prosecuting attorney to convince the jury that Oliver Lawrence, age 46, had killed Joseph Lery, a white merchant, proved faille and Lawrence was acquitted late Tuesday.

A communicable disease cause of 7,977 boys and 8,441 girls showed little difference in percentage incidence among the thyroid unaffected and children who had same maladies. There is some evidence to show that one of the immediate effects of communicable diseases among girls of elementary school age is a simple enlargement of the thyroid gland. However, this thyroid enlargement appears to be temporary in characters, although the length of which is yet undetermined after a child recovers from a communicable disease, he is no more prone to change in thyroid size than a child who has not had a communicable disease. In so far an elementary school children are concerned, there appear to be no ground for assuming that the thyroid is responsible for simple gout. The underlying cause of this malady must be sought for in other directions. ing between Levy and Lawrence.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1929 NEGRO HOSPITAL'S CONSTITUTION since the Houston Negro Hospital is so much to the fore just now, due to the agitation for the removal of the present superintendent and the curtailment of the autocratic and dictatorial authority of the white advisory committee, it might be well to cite the public's attention to the constitution or certain sections of the document governing the operating and conduct of this supposed Negro hospitality. It will be reminded that this hospital represents a dual gift to the colored citizenry of this community, the $80,000 building being from a gift from Hon. J. S. Cullain, local white philanthropist, and two city blocks of land provided conditionally by the city council. This institution was dedicated June 19, 1926, with appropriate ceremonies, attended by members of the city council, including Mayor Oscar F. Holocum, Commissioner H. A. Halverton and other "city fathers," as well as leading white citizens, most of whom constituted the original white advisory committee. The following inscription appears on the bronze table placed on the front wall of the hospital: "This building erected A. D. 1926, in memory of Lieutenant John Hahn Callanan, 344th F. F. 90th Division, A. E. F., one of the members of young American who served the world with valor and perpendicular human liberty without regard to race, creed or color, is dedicated to the American Negro to promote self-help, to inspire good citizenship and for the relief of suffering, sickness and disease amongst them." First, the hospital is a chartered institution or corporation, known as the "Houston Negro Hospital, Incorporated." Now, let us peruse and study the hospital's constitution written at the instance of certain white members of the advisory committee close to the donor: "Article I—Section 1. The officers of this corporation shall be a president, a vice-president, a secretary, who shall serve without compensation, also a treasurer or cashier, a superintendent, an assistant superintendent, and such other officers as the board of directors, hereinafter called the directors, from time to time, and who are appointed by the board of directors in writing and receiving approval dome wise to elect. "Section 2. All officers shall be elected by the directors. The term of office of all officers shall begin on the first day of January of the year for which they are elected, and shall be for one year, and until their successor or successors are elected and qualified; provided, however, that all officers other than the president, vice-president and secretary, may be removed from office at any time, and that the president, vice-president and secretary, may be removed from office at any time, or on written request of advisory committee, and which shall be entered upon the minutes of the directors." "Article II—Section 1. The president shall preside at the meetings of the directors, shall be the executive officer of the directors in carrying on the business of the corporation, and in carrying out the plans and policies of the directors in the management of the institution controlled by the directors, and shall perform the duties of the president and authority, as are usually performed and held by the president of a corporation, or that may be given him by the directors." "Section 5. The superintendent shall, under the direction of the directors and the president, have general and active charge and management of the institution belonging to this corporation, and shall be responsible for the proper and efficient administration and management thereof. He shall keep, or cause to be kept, an inventory of all properties of the corporation, and a composition of the board of directors to show the true financial condition of the institution, and such other records as the directors may direct. He shall report monthly to the president, in writing, the condition of said institution, accompanying same with financial statement showing the receipts and disbursements for the preceding month, all indebtedness of the corporation and any change in the character of such indebtedness, and showing also the amount of moneys, property, and other assets on hand, and shall make such other reports as the directors or preside over, and the chairman of the advisory committee. The compensation of the superintendent shall be fixed from time to time by the directors. "Article III—Section 4. At their annual meeting, or so soon thereafter as may be, the directors shall elect a staff of physicians and surgeons for the succeeding year. Such physicians and surgeons shall be collectively known as the staff. The staff shall be composed of such number of physicians and surgeons as the directors may deem wise. In electing such staff, each physician or surgeon may be assigned each duty as the director of the staff. The staff shall be the same as that of the superintendent herein provided for, and each may be removed from office in the same manner. "Section 5. No person shall practice as a physician or surgeon in this institution unless such person shall at the time be a mem-bor of said staff. By the term 'practice' as herein used is meant visiting, treating or operating upon medical, surgical, obstetrical or other patients in the institution, and may prescribe treatment as the treatment of or as to the operations upon such patients. "Section 6. The directors shall require, by rule or otherwise, all physicians and surgeons who shall practice in such institution The Houston Informer to furnish in such form as said directors may require, full and complete clinical and surgical history or histories of all patients visited, treated, or operated upon by them in such institution to treat, diagnose and prognosis of such patients, and also a report of what is found as to the health of each patient by any operation, treatment, or other investigation had or made. Such history, diagnosis, prognosis and reports to be retained as part of the permanent records. "Section 8. Every member of the staff shall by applying for and accepting such membership, thereby pledge himself to comply with all the laws, rules and regulations of this corporation. "Article IV-Section 1. This corporation shall have an advisory committee consisting of not exceeding thirteen (13) white citizens of Harris County, Texas, the first members of such committee, and the second members of such committee, one, two and three years, hold-over members of such committee to fill any vacancies and to elect annually successors to those whose terms expire. "Section 2. The advisory committee shall prescribe and approve of the general policies to apply in the administration of the institution, and its advice, counsel and direction at all times be observed and carried out by the board of directors, officers and staff. "Section 4. The advisory committee may adopt rules and regulations consistent with its powers as it may deem desirable." After a careful reading of the above constitutional provisions one will readily disclose the fact that, while the colored directors are invested with certain powers and authority, the white advisory committee can override, nullify and disregard such action at will. Despite the fact that article one, section 2, provides how the officers shall be elected and dismissed, the white advisory committee has attempted to take this matter out of the hands of the board-elect, issuing an edict that a certain person should be elective of the board, and, that the charges against the superintendent be tabled. Let us re-read this part of the constitution from article one, section 2: "... provided, however, that all officers other than the president, vice-president, and secretary, may be removed from office AT ANY TIME BY THE DIRECTORS for causes DEEMED SUFFICIENT BY THE DIRECTORS." The officers who may be removed are treasurer or cashier, superintendent and assistant supervisor, and the office of finance, the secretary of the white advisory committee March 23, 1928, without even the formality of suggesting to the directors the amending of the constitution so as to provide for such office. Therefore, under the provisions of the hospital's written law, the directors were acting within their rights when they recently recommended the employment of a new superintendent to supplement the present superintendent; and it is unfortunate, if not necessary, that the directors were not connected with have made such a nasty and ugly situation out of the fact that the directors were merely exercising their constitutional functions. Notwithstanding the fact that the constitution expressly stipulates that the superintendent shall be subject and amenable to the directors; that "all officers shall be elected by the directors," and that "the directors are connected with the institution, official or otherwise, can be dismissed by the directors, except the present superintendent. It was and still is our understanding that the city council donated the site for this hospital with the understanding that it would be manned and operated in its entirety by Negroes; and if the inscription on the bronze tablet, representing the ideas of the donor, means anything at all, it merely confirms this belief. The only way to learn how to do a thing is to do it, and we have the opportunity to perform any task without being afforded an opportunity to do that particular thing. In the operation, conduct and management of the Houston Negro Hospital, the Negroes have never been afforded a real chance to demonstrate their ability to put over the job, and the retiring board spent its nine or ten months in office trying to adjust some unities which arose prior and immediately subsequent to its induction. The situation is becoming more aggravated and acute each succeeding day, and unless the matter is amicably adjusted within a short time, not only will the hospital lose an opportunity for a larger community service, but much of the amicable relations now existing between the two races will be disrupted because of the tyranny, autocracy and obstinacy of one or two members of the white advisory committee, who seem to be actuated with a "rule or ruin" mania. THE MIRROR (Continued from Page One) notwithstanding several attempts somewhat along this line have met Committees were appointed and plans formulated for a banquet such as only Houstonians can and do stage, and only the Houstonians who have a burning message for the business and professional men of Houston upon this occasion. THE MIRROR (Continued from Page One) notwithstanding several attempts somewhat along this line have met with little success, it is our grass and prediction that this new organization will become a permanent subject to review. Surpacing and exacelling their original social affair of last winter, the annual danares of the Nu Phi chamber of the Omega Pel Phi fraternity, of which Judge J. Alston Atkins in baccalaure, held in the auditorium of the Pilgrim's building last Friday night, wan, by far, the most clausty and brilliant event of its kind ever given here by our group. At its Monday luncheon, the organization decided to entertain Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tunkoco Institute and president of the National Negro Business League, when he and his party visit Houston Wednesday. Moton, a native of Jamaica, will celebrate the federal farm extension bureau. Great care and precaution had been exercised by the invitation committee to the end that the invited guests would be in keeping with the occasion, and the affair was strictly formal. The culture, refinement and class of the women, the view of the View and kindred points graced the occasion, and it was the consensus of opinion, as expressed by many present, that the Omegas are "just tight like that." The women do not wish to convey the impression that only those present at this damnate represent the social elite of this city and the other places named above, but as only a limited number of persons can be invited each year, those present were not invited. The women are highly up high places on the social register in their several community. It was an inspiring sight—beautiful evening gowns worn by still more beautiful women; women, more men wearing conventional tights, and women in chic, charmed and captivated all present; zim and hazy lighting effect which produced an oriental setting which was a tribute to the handwork of artisans who served in the The annual celebration of Negro History Week will be held during the week of February 3-9, 2022, the purposes of the observance being to popularize the study of Negro life and to provide more support for its promotion. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Washington, D. C., the most eminent historian of the race and one of the country's outstanding authors and publicists, is director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, outstanding author and publicist. As the week begins on Sunday, February 3, Negro ministers are asked to deliver sermons dealing with some phase of racial advancement and achievement, and choirs are urged to sing as much music from Negro composers as possible at all services on Sunday. We the community which desire to observe Negro History Week, February 3-9, the following suggestions are made: 1. Organize your community through committees for the celebration. 2. Appeal to your local board of education for the adoption of Negro history and textbooks. 3. Inquire about the school and secure a staff of scientific works on the Negro and pictures of distinguished men of the race. 4. Set aside one day of the week as a book and picture fund day, when all will be called upon to assist in raising funds to buy books and libraries of Negroes for your schools and libraries.

For books on the Negro or further information regarding the annual observance of Negro History Week, write Dr. Carter G. Woodson, 1888 Ninth Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. As suggested every year, The Informer thinks this a most worthy and laudable undertaking, and argues that its observance be held only wherever possible by our people.

Illustrated FEATURE SECTION THE HOUSTON INFORMER The thrilling adventure of a Negro Policeman by J. Fortune Reade Interesting, Entertaining and Instructive GEORGE S. SCHUYLER Editor Sect GEORGE S. SCHUYLER Editor TRAPPING the GANG S A MEMBER of the police force for over seven years in one of our larger cities, I have had many colorful experiences. But the experience that stands out boldest in my memory is the one in connection with a romantic band of criminals who were said to be the original modern Forty Thieves. The captain of the precinct station to which I was attached often assigned me to some special shadow work in a neighborhood that was composed of many of the select Negro blood—shadow work requiring physical skill—because, as a student in a colored prep school I had distinguished myself as an athlete. And so one evening when I came on duty I was not unprepared for the order to remove my harness and go to the La Salle Apartments, where I should try to get a line on a white tenant on the fourth floor who was suspected of operating a gambling joint. In my mind's eye I pictured the La Salle: a five-story structure whose dark halls seemed to be the lurking place of danger for the unwary. People of a variety of patterns lived there, but they were mostly those who showed no particular friendliness toward the minions of the law. I wondered how I might get results in such an atmosphere of general distrust of all strangers. I remembered, too, that the La Salle was something Section 2—Saturday, January 26, 1929 e of a Negro Policeman of a trap, without a suggestion of a fire-escape either in front or back. Night came on early in November and provided me with a ready cover. And when I skipped down the stone steps of the station house, with my slouch hat pulled well down over my forehead, I felt confident. Wrapped about my waist, I carried a coil of rope. AT THE LA SALLE I loitered in the dimly-lighted halls of the La Salle throughout the early evening, without results. Striking up an acquaintance, even with seeming casualness, with the silent men who entered and left the marked apartment, might have gained me admission—years hence. But not then. A squad could have burst in the door—but suppose, after all, the tip was false! I moved softly up to the fifth floor, at the top, and rested on the balustrade. There was no light there, at all. I dreamed romantic things. A footfall aroused me. I peered down the long shaft, which was bordered with balustrades, and let my eye follow a moving white object—a small hand that nimbly stole up the balustrade. Now the melody of voices reached me. There were two persons—women. They climbed to the fourth floor—and I dropped to my knees to catch a glimpse of them as they stopped to chat.

Fortune Reade were young women, and one of them radiated riches from her shoes to her hair, while the other, a younger girl, of bewitching, creamy-yellow complexion and of finer figure and face, wore a dress that bore the stamp of one in relatively poor circumstances. I straightened quickly and drew back from the balustrade. Neither woman had seen me, but they had separated suddenly, the bejewelled one entering the very apartment which I had been set to watch, while the other was coming tripping up the last flight of stairs, toward me. Where might I conceal myself? The shadows were thick, but she would see me just the same if she came to a forward door. I did not wish to scare her. There was a skylight overhead. But I could not get up there now without giving my presence away. A MAGNIFICENT GIRL I stood rigid. She came up. My eyes had become accustomed to the dark and I could well appraise her. She was a magnificent girl. I am sure if she had had on the gorgeous dress of the other woman, I should have taken her for a very princess.

He did not see me until he closed the door. Then it was too late—for him. I knew he was about to go below to announce to his binder that I was trapped above and either come back with others to "get" me or else tell all to take flight there was time. It was my work to prevent him from getting downstairs. A TUSSLE "Put your hands up," I ordered snappily, thrusting my gun forward. But, to my surprise, he ignored the threat of the weapon and grappled with me. I could have killed him, but I realized instantly that if I fired a shot there in the hall it would draw the attention of the beholder. The man has dived for my wrists with a sadness that caused me to stagger backward and my head struck the wall with a crash that stunned me. For a second I thought I would go down, but then I recovered my senses with a vengeance and tore loose from my attacker. Again I could have killed him—but I did an unusual thing: I scaled my gun along the hall floor to the farther point and then shot out my fists like pistons at my adversary, who was standing many times with telling blows. I felt I was his master, however, for sheer strength and endurance. Awaiting his chance, Hyde raced to the end of the hall where the gun lay, but I was at his heels and when he reached down to pick up the weapon I toppled him and put on the strangle hold. As securely as held him, he yet managed to squirt the gun down. Not. I had him over the strangle and it would not have required much effort on my part to break his back. THE POLICE ARRIVE While yet I held him over the balustrade and looked down the five flights, I was thrilled immeasurably to hear the sound of many hurrying feet below and see the big hands moving up the balustrade. My brothers had arrived. I recovered my hold on Allan Hyle and discovered that I had him unconscious. I let him sink to the floor and taking a pair of handeuffs from my pocket I snapped them on him. Then I recovered my gun. Now I pushed down stairs to meet the raiders. Already they had reached the fourth floor. I identified myself quickly and explained what was what. Now a few well directed blows from an ax sent the door coaching in and the raiders swarmed inside. All was going ahead nicely. I returned to my prisoner, who was struggling to his feet. The great noise of the crashing door seemed to have reached every corner of the house, bringing every effent into the hall. Even as I assisted my prisoner to his feet, Miss Goff leaned over to Miss Belle and department with the fair girl at her heels rigged out in smart attire. I sized up the situation quickly: Belle Lenarde had prevailed upon Miss Goff to toon some of her own fine raiment and was on the point of luring her away. Belle Lenarde eyes bulged with surprise as she beheld her man back with handcuffed and handcuffed. She fell back with a smothered exclamation. Miss Goff's mouth dropped and she pailed—but, for all that, I thought she looked the most ravishing girl I ever saw, in that fine, borrowed raiment. The police have hustled in our place, Belle," my prisoner announced, "Get away—down the back stairs," "Don't, Belle," I advised. "The raiding squad don't neglect such important things as back stairs.

TAKING THEM AWAY "Better take these prisoners off my hands," I said, "so as I can go hunting for my shoes. Unless I'm off my guess this man is the leader of the outfit below and this woman with all the chunks of ice she's been using, I just take them two. The other isn't one of them.

I'll walk over with her—after I find my shoes—and I mean to give her a lot of sage advice on the job. Belle Lenarde proved to be the slick confidence worker I had heard about. She was also styled the "Queen of the Forty Thieves." Allan Hyde was the "brains," and we found plenty of evidence in his hand and him and his gang with many "lobe." Miss Goff has often expressed her thanks to me for saving her from the sad fate that might have been hers, if I had not arrived on the scene in time to help Lola Lardee.
