Houston Informer

THE HOUSTON INFORMER RACIAL LEADER VISITS HOUSTON Receiver Is Named For Baptists VOL. X—TWO SECTIONS RACIA Recei THE MIRROR 5 PRICE CENTS The daily newspapers of the city have been filled during the past several months with accidents and crimes, the latter being national in scope, while the former are twenty-two. Hardly 200 persons have been injured in Houston since January 1, by automobiles, and of this large number two or more agreement to a proposition does not necessarily infer or imply that it will put over any proposition. Most of these accidents have been of the same nature, the accident should occur, in any city where automotive and pedestrian traffic is regulated as in Houston. Yet if you stand on a corner and watch the many close calls and near misses of the accident you will be pulled to marvel that fatalities from such smash-ups do not mount higher than the record reveals. To have a firm grip upon too many of our automobiles and pedestrians, and when they something more powerful than the human anatomy to halt a moving car, out loser to the automobile. According to statistics, people killed and injured annually in the United States by automobiles exceed considere Before a driver is given a permit to drive a car in some states must be a licensed driver, in this wise, and it is no unusual practical and theoretical standpoint, that a licensed driver can manipulate his automobile. If any member of his family desires to drive the car, he or she must also qualify. In Texas we have no rules and regulations governing driver of automobiles in this wise, and it is no unusual being to learn how to operate a car on a crowded municipal street or busy highway. While head signals are not mandatory by statute in Texas, it is very noticeable that the majority of automobiles are driven or otherwise, just what the Moton Delivers Addresses Here; Praises Houston Making his first visit to Texas and making Houston the first city on the present brief tour of the state, Dr. Robert Russo Matern, principal Tuskegee Institute and president of the National Negro Business League, was here Wednesday and addressed the silver jubilee celebration of the federal farm extension agents at the City Auditorium in the foreroom. During the afternoon, after the reception, James G. Kearney, host to Dr. Moyle and Adoniel L. Holsey, secretary of Tuskegee and the National Negro Business League, the Tuskegee delegation was given a sight-seeing tour over the city. After meeting and addressing the local Wednesday club, Dr. Moton was the guest of honor Wednesday night at the Y. W. C. A. cafeteria at a banquet sponsored by the Houston Business Men's Luncheon Club. C. F. Richardson was tostmaster and toasts were given by Mr. Griggsy, president of the organization; Prof. James D. Ryerson, president of the organization; R. C. Atkina, Tuskegee director of agriculture and brother to Attorney J. Alston Atkins of this city; and Albon L. Holsey. Music was furnished by the male octet of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club and Mrs. H. M. Middleton, with Mrs. P. O. Smith at the piano. A public reception was given for Dr. Moton and party later in the evening at the Filgrim building, where he delivered a short and splay talk. Thursday was spent at Prairie View Academy, where leaving Thursday night for Dallas. **** (Digest of address of Dr. Robert Matern, Alabama, delivered before the silver anniversary celebration of the cooperative land on terms that will not sentence him and his family to a life Texas, February 8, 1923.) "I do not think that I am far afield when I say that no other two men can meet in the South since emancipation than did Seaman A. Knapp and Booker T. Knapp and Dr. Washington, early realized the necessity of teaching better rural population; of creating a more satisfying rural life through the net of providing educational and recreational facilities for his children and improving health conditions. By example, he taught the students a critical understanding and cooperation which must prevail if the South is to be "Anyone who traveled through the South twenty-five years ago could see the wounds of the wars of education, words of the masses, black and white. This necessity is still urgently being integrated through the work which the Agricultural Extension Service has done for the past quarter of a century and has taught the people the soil, cultivation and marketing of crops, the care of livestock and the agriculture." "Through federal and state legislation the goal is being set to provide farm and home demonstration agents to be hoped to be that in this program of expansion the Negro will be in no doubt that the population of which is 25 percent or more black should have both a Negro man and woman demonstrate." "A healthy and contented rural population is based upon the ownership of a farm, and the farmer to the land more firmly than any amount of propaganda or legislation from country to city. Landownership for the Negro farmer would do more to have the migration to the city more readily than any need to need them to migration is not stricter laws or laws proclaimed than the Texas legislature, now in session at Austin, can help relieve this burden. The Texas legislature, now in session at Austin, can help relieve this burden by books legislation dealing with and regulating automotive traffic along this and other lines. To expect automobile traffic to slow down to the gait maintained by horse-pulled vehicles of yesterday, but not the modern automobile traffic. For the sake of human lives, let's do something to reduce and minimize our towering automobile accidents, if it becomes necessary to designate certain streets as safe and aside other streets for slower traffic, and force a reduced speed on some, at the same time, establishing new AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9. 1929 --- is that despite the lack of such organized effort 200,000 of the 900,000 landowners required more than 20,000,000 acres of tillable land. It will plen for special considerations for the Negro. The day when he needs that is past. But surely it needs to be too tough to definite define and undertaken by the federal government, the state governments or private individuals to make an acquaintance and acquire land on terms that will not sentence him and his family to a life sentence. He need not be one of philanthropy. It can be made a sound paying business. The city of New York, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has erected apartments to be sold on behalf of the tenant-subscriber. Rockefeller has publicly stated that this is not one business proposition from which he expects to live every cent he put into it plus a reason. Rockefeller has planned a similar project for Negroes in Chicago. The same thing that is needed for Negroes in New York workers can be done in the rural South for Negro farmers. The making is necessary, for if the Negro is to contribute his best to the development of the land and not as a tenant. Experience has proved to the tenant that the greatest benefits of land improvement do not come from the Negro. Why should he attempt any program of soil building when he knows that it would be offended off the land; that if he increases productivity his rent increases more than the pockets of the Negro. "In the past the South has put much money into organized efforts to import foreigners and settle upon the land. The newcomers have been offered most favorable terms to induce them to buy land. They have then effected have been practically abandoned. The South now realizes the value of the Negro as an expert labor asset and in mannuality in its demand for restricted immigration. Much of the money put into schemes for importing people outside the South might more wisely and profitably have been put into improving conditions for native born Negro farmers, and making it easy for them to acquire land. The government inevitably leads to another. With the coming of farm and home demonstrators has come an DR. ROBERT RUSSA MOTOR JACKSON DISCUSSES NATIONAL TEMPLE ERECTED BY PYTHIANS; ATTENDED RECENT DEDICATION DR. A. S. JACKSON "From the beginning Dr. Knapp had the first crocheted hat, the Washington staff, and T. M. Campbell, the first Negro appointed in the service, in addition to him, to immeirably out his great project. The South and nation should forever be grateful to Dr. Knapp for pointing out the position of understanding and a cooperation. If what he contributed to southern agrifolios including relations between the two races had never been contributed conditions would be pitable to contemplate. A. M. E. COMMISSIONER HERE A. M. E. S. Johnson, vice commissioner of education of the A. M. E. Church, was in the city during the week ecouste home from Topela, Kanada, to be appeared before the Kansas legislature in behalf of state appropriation Western University, Oklahoe, Kan. Oscar DePriest Seeks Early Trial Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—Counsel for Congress-elect曼 O. Oscar DePriest, which includes Edward H. Morris and Clarence Darrow, appeared before Chief Justice John J. Sullivan of the criminal court and sought an early date for the trial of Mr. DePriest on charges that he fostered PERRY HOWARD VICTOR AGAIN Jackson, Mina. (ANP)-Discrimination problems against him, prosecutors said, and his law partner, Attorney Moon, were dismissed Monday. Moon began their beginning when the national committee from Mississippi was invited to the federal patronage of which he was acquainted Howard and his partner but no trouble in wining the second case congratulations of friends. Bankers, attorneys, and businessmen were the integrity of Attoroya Howard, Moon, and S. D. Redmond, and S. D. Moore, who was also at the same time. A. S. JACKSON FIRS TSECTION—NUMBER 3 HOUS Bap McDonald By Tarra To Hanc DUSTON aptists nald Chosen Tarrant Court Handle Affairs McDonald Chosen By Tarrant Court To Handle Affairs Please permit me to say that Saturday morning, February 2, at 10:30 in Judge Young's District Court, Tarrant County, we went into the court and asked for receivership for the Baptist Missionary and Educational Center, judgments against the convention, and a deed of trust alleged against the property of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas, first lien notes. We showed two lien notes by a lawyer by a first at Hammond. We also up the claims of other indebtedness to the amount of $90,000. We showed that the institution was involved, cannot pay its debts and that if it were not a religious corporation, it would proceed, but owing to the fact that it is a religious corporation we would avoid bankruptcy action and make out with receivership. The court granted the receivership and upheld induced gambling interests in his ward. Indications on this charge were returned against DePriest, Dan Jackson and several minor characters last year. DePriest's action in seeking an early trial is interpreted as an offer to clear himself of any stain before the time to attend the inauguration ceremonies at Washington. Attaches of DePriest's office have been making preparations to carry a large number of citizens to Washington when Hoover was president. Ever since the indictment was voted, the congressman-elect has protested his innocence and has made the counter charge that the true bill against him came as the results of a prejudice among white politicians who tainted to keep a Negro from going to college. Judge Sullivan assigned the trial to Judge Thomas Lynch who will set a date. TO CONDUCT R DUCT REVIVAL IN CITY CONDUCT REVIVAL IN CITY TO HOME pointed Honorable William Madison McDonald, president of the Federal Bank and Trust Company, Pt. Worth, the receiver. Mr. McDonald is one of our most reputable citizens and a high class man. By this process we will be able to work the convention out of debt. The Rev. E. Arlington Wilson and a few of his followers are trying every way to wreck the convention. But we have quietly taken the matter out of his hands, passed them to the receiver which is a court in itself. So Arlington will be trying all of his friends and every dime they collect to the receiver and everything is conducted through the receiver. We take this method of saying to the Baptist brotherhood of Texas "Be of good cheer, in due time we will overcome." Respectfully yours, W. L.

He was made great strides within years in the development of legato, artistic phrasing, and the general timre of his voice. And as fine as was his presentation of the art-songs and other short classics the climax of the evening came (presumably the first time in contemporary art) when a scene from "Alda" was played which Litchi used as casian soprano, collaborated with Mr. Bledsoe. Hardly a week has passed since the staging here of Johnny Spielt Auf by the Metropolitan Opera Company about which so much ink was spilled both before and after this performance. The baritone should or should not appear in the title role. And we can merely say that we hope Mr. Bledsoe, the long resident director-general of the Met, was present at Mr. Bledsoe's recital, for his undoubted operatic achievement, and appeared. With careful and persistent coaching from now until the coming operatic season, Mr. Bledsoe should adequately interpret the character of Johnny. Creation" by James Weldon Johnson was by music by Louis Grunberg had to be omitted from Mr. Bledsoe's program due to the fact that the opera having been belated on a trip from Europe on the ill-fated steamer "America," was unable to have a proper rehearsal with the accompaniment of the orchestra and Mr. Grunberg were introduce ADVERTISING To Stimulate All Forms of Bus Too Small.

FLIT KILLS FLIES MOSQUITOES Other Household Insects Colored Girl Show Managers Unfair Slays Lover; To Colored Companies Colored Girl Slays Lover; Faces Court New York —(ANP) —The most startling story of murder which New York police have heard for years was told here last week when Bellocla Whitney, 14-year-old colored girl of North Carolina, told police she had been killed when a soldier killed him on the 17th floor of a loft building in West 31st Street here. On December 21, the girl applauded to the police department, saying she had come here from Boston, Mass., and had lost her father, who accompanied her to the city. They took her in and carried her to the Children's Inquiry Home at Fifth Avenue and 100th Street where she police sought the "father," while the police moved along nicely for the lost girl until Detective Mistoe of Red Bank, N. J., put in his appearance at the police headquarters and asked aid in locating the girl, whom he understood had come to New York. Police led the detective to the immediately the detective identified the girl as the person he sought. The girl said a year ago she migrated to Jersey where she sought refuge in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Mackey, 22 Beach Street, Shrewbury, N. J. Mackey and Bellcock graviate intimates and a tragic quarrel, and the girl and Mackey plotted to do away with Mackey's wife, Leslie. On the night of December 14, the pair decided to do away with Leslie. Attacking her with an ax, the thought they had killed her. They carried the woman to the railroad tracks where frequently passed trains would completely do away with the girl. She was killed, and Bellcock left a bottle of milk for the baby and took her cousin's fur coat. When found, the baby was near death from cold and starvation. Going to the home of a friend named Charlie Miller, Mackey and his innamora told of their deeds. Fearing the police, Johnny and Bellcock took to the woods for safety, learning New York's rules. For three days, the couple lived on hot dogs and ship in the subway trains. Reduced to his last quarter, Johnny made bungling plans to enter a life of crime. He and the girl found an iron bar in an almost deserted tenement building, and dragged the narrow inclosed fire escape at 132. Pausing to rest on the seventh floor, the pair engaged in a quarrel and Bellcella fearing that her lover would betray her, struck him over the street with the iron bar, fleeing to the building. Early next morning, the unidentified man was discovered in the building. He was in a dying condition and could give no coherent story of why he was in the building. He did not close how he came to be in the building. But Makey's wife rose from her grave, as it were, to accuse the pair. After she had been struck with the fire, she was in a coma of eminence, and the man and girl ruse. After deserting her on the tracks, Mrs. Mackey managed to free herself and crawled to the nearest house where she, wounded badly, told the story of the assault. Detectives immediately began tracing the fugitives. The question of where the girl will be tried is one puzzling police officials now. Her age prevents a trial in homicide court, unless official statement from her birthplace prove her over 14 as she claims.

Well, I stayed out, I am staying out and I never in life will play for a man who tells me I have to foot the man he has suffered from bums. "Let me give you some figures in this particular case. Years ago, when he had a smaller school he refused to pay me a guarantee of $1400. I was told that he would pay $200 for the receipt. The last time we played his house my cut for the week was $3,750. Then, when he tried to get me this fall, he offered me a guarantee of $1,000 in money. He explained himself by saying that I, Mae Whitman, had to make for the bad weeks other people had given him. "He offered me $1,600 for a company of 30 people. He offered me $1,600 and it would have cost me $450 for the week. He explained to get there, to get there! (Excuse me if I am not as calm as usual).

"This is what an owner did here in Philadelphia. He went to the individual members of a show in his house and asked them what their salary was.

They don't do it out of sympathy, they don't do it out of necessity and more costumes than any similar organizations, thus reducing the house overhead. They know we are money- makers. They appreciate these things. That's why, in the course of a season, we play from two to eight weeks with Mr. Gibson and other high-class theatrical men. Indeed, I spend so much time in Philadelphia that it a second home for me. "And now do you know what is the matter with the show business?" PERRY, A MAN The Victor: Recently they passed away in Kansas City, Heman E. Perry, to our minds one of the most unique characters in the annuals of Negro business in the South. He was the success he cherished, and without the monuments he would have built for himself. Death came as the climax to a period of three years which he had spent attempting a "come back" to the business world. He died and failure in business was netocide. His failure in business was not a failure in life. The fall of the Standard Life Insurance Company and some of its allied organizations, which were unable to double crossing, or what not, cannot rob Perry of his contributions to life insurance among Negroes. To him belongs the credit of pioneering. He was the first of the colored men to sell ordinary insurance, and later attorney general Company. Up to his time our insurance had been limited to industrial and health and accident. Perry had a large vision, he saw the necessity of creating large estates and he knew it well. He was the first legal insurance companies. Thus he blazed a new trail which he found full of difficulties and disappointments, but he met them bravely and took them out of his way one by one. His success in building the Standard Life Insurance companies to undertake writing ordinary business. Not only so, but it inspired men in other sections of the country to build in their own cities insurance companies similar to that which Perry had started in Atlanta. A number of companies, one of which owe a deal to Heman E. Perry. Not a few of Kipling's qualifications for a man were embodied in Perry. We saw him trust himself when all men doubted him, and yet he made allowance for his own faults. We saw him in both triumph and disaster. He treated these two imposters just the same. We saw him watch the thing he gave his life to broken and he stoped and started to build them up with worn out tools. We saw him make one heap of all his winning and risk it at one turn of the wheel, and he continued again at his beginning, and never breathed a word about his loss. When he gave up the thing he built and loved and withdrew from Atlanta, those who knew him said that he was done—but he forced his heart, nerve and sinew to serve him long after they were dead. There was nothing to him except the will which said to him—"Hold on!"

ALEXANDER the GREATEST "General Dumas cut them down as they came up." The story of France's renowned Black General by J.A.ROGERS Appearing Exclusively in The Illustrated Feature Section for FEBRUARY 16,1929 HERE is a story such as you have never read before. A little Negro boy joins the army of France as a buck private and inside of two years he is a general, commanding a great army. This military genius captured a rich Italian province for France, and was the terror of all who opposed him. Greater general than Napoleon, he incurred the Emperor's enmity and resigned. France, friend of the black people, has raised a great monument to him in Paris. You will want to re读 this story and pass it on to others.

"The Dallas Morning News makes the following observation in "toward the $600,000 Witey endowment suggested by the Negro’ ‘College of Marshall, the board has appropriated $300,000, and in| ‘sddition $30,000 for current xepenses during a three-year period | <. Wiley is a small college supported by the Methodist Episcopal Church (North). Six hundred thousand dollars is a huge sum| @ its vision. It might be raised, but only after a long period of | solicitation. The gift of half of its present endowment needs: ‘ey the General Education Board must come like a dream of God ‘ the workers in the field.” ‘The Marshall Morning News, edited by Hon. Homer M. Price nd published in the city where Wiley is located, says editorially :| “The people of Marshall, regardless of race, are very glad that the splendid schoo! for colored youths -Wiley College —has been ‘the recipient of this munificent gift. This institution, presided aver by President M. W. Dogan, has the profoundest respect of the white people of Marshall. It is conducted along such lines as’ ave tended through all the years to bring about the most cordial ‘and helpful relations between the racex.-We have heard it stated hat Wiley, with its hundreds of pupils every year. has never had 4 peace officer on its grounds on official business. Its course of ‘atody is probably the best of any colored college west of the Mis- “Maoippi and its influence in the formation of the character of the Negro youths that have attended it has been of the very best. And while it is true it has received a very large sum from the Edu- ational Board, yet it is necessary for the college to raise a very substantial amount to supplement this generous gift. It is our, “anderstanding that a campaizn will be pat om at am early date do this.

Written correspondence, which passed between one of the new ‘board members and the white representative of the advisory com- mittee, resulted in the definite assurance being made the new board that all of the contentions for exercise of proper authority ‘and function by the Negro board would willing be granted. | With such assurance the newly-elected board members recon- ‘sidered their declinations and decided to serve, hopeful that they ‘can render a definite service to the race and society through this ‘eleemosynary institution. | Having won our contention, in the main, The Informer feels ‘that the new hoard acted wisely in accepting the posts, and this ‘paper wishes them all the success possible in their undertaking; ‘and whatever The Informer ean contribute towards the consum- ‘mation of their program, we herewith offer our services.

SCHUYLER Feature Editor BORN Tuckahoe,Md. Feb. 9. ABOLITION FIRST PRIZE, $10 Miss Ruth D. Anderson 2828 Erato Street New Orleans, La. HE American Negro's so- cial heritage is greatly enriched by his noble and exemplary lives that of Frederick Dou- glas. As part proof that we are worthy heirs to HE American Negro's social heritage is greatly enriched by such noble and exemplary lives as that of Frederick Douglass. As part proof that we are worthy heirs to this social heritage we owe to this great leader a realization of what he stood for and a willingness to let this realization encourage to contemplate visions in the pursuit of which bleeding feet we saw. Frederick Douglass was an eloquent leader and an author of truth who always dared to stand for the right. He was not repelled or even stunned by persecution or humiliation. We owe it to him to incarnate in our lives his virtues. What great men devise little men at least may copy. We cannot be martyrs for freedom from slavery; but we can sponsor political and social freedom, which has not yet been attained; or we --- can advocate the abolition of some evil of national or racial significance. We owe it to Frederick Douglass to remain true to our own people and to exhaust our reservoirs of ideas for their welfare. We owe it to this great man to let his life be a galvanizing force in our lives which impels us to action. His was a time of beginnings for the race, ours is a time ripe for accomplishment. It is no tribute for us merely to review his life and works; but it is a tribute and is our debt to him to take his life as an example, to look deeply into and to mount seemingly insurmountable barriers, proving ourselves martyrs for social, political, economic and educational freedom. To hereby produce men and women whose worth will be recognized by the community, state, or even the country is our debt to Frederick Douglass—the debt of a race. SECOND PRIZE, $7 Mrs. Gertrude C. Hopkins 178 West 137th Street New York City Section 2—Saturday, February 9, 1929 For every Negro to exemplify the life of Frederick Douglass would be the greatest tribute an appreciative race could bestow upon the memory of this immortal statesman. To fight for a cause, as he fought; to be as uncompromising, in the fight for right, as he was; to be as true, honest, sincere, whole-hearted in the fight against racial oppression, as he was—are the only ways to pay our debt of gratitude to one who suffered and dared, that we might enjoy; privileges made possible by his many sacrifices. Let us consider five items that we will place in the debit column of our ledger in our account with Mr. Douglass. We owe it to him to— 1. Become better educated ourselves in order to better educate our children; 2. Influence the ignorant and rowdy of our race, teach them the value of pride in self, pride in conduct, pride in race; 3. Refrain from the use of the word "migger," and reprimand those who habitually use the word; 4. Be uncompromising with jim-crowism, avoiding all places where se-orgation is practiced; 5. Deport ourselves as good citizens should, demanding, expecting and accepting nothing less than what is due law-abiding citizens. To wipe out these items we observe that Education will eliminate ignorance and rowdyism; the elimination of these two attributes would eradicate our habit of race belittlement, thus giving to us a deeper sense of pride; pride in one's self begets respect; respect demands; consideration–fair-play–from others; fair-play offers equality of opportunity; opportunity means the open door to freedom and happiness. To aspire to and attain freedom and happiness in the fullest sense of the words was the dearest dream of Frederick Douglas. We must carry on in his name–for that is a duty we owe to his memory. THIRD PRIZE, $5 John W. Douglas 26 Thomas Street Clean, Wholesome and Refreshing Foreign Advertising Representatives: W. B. Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. DIED Anacostia, D.C. Feb. 20, 1895 PLOMAT Douglass Newark, New Jersey The progress made by the Negro in the past sixty-six years is attributable largely to the pioneer efforts of Frederick Douglass. This is our debt to him. First, the story of his life refutes the theories of Negro inferiority. His natural abilities were far greater than many who claimed to be his superiors. He towered above those who attempted to belittle him. He was the great orator in an arc when oratory was in flower; he was an able writer at when America boasted of its literary evidence; born in the depressing environment of slavery, he lifted himself by the sheer force of an indomitable personality to the heights of success. But this success is not measured so much by what Douglas did for himself as by what he accomplished for his race. Himself a fugitive slave, he fought the system with all the power of his fiery eloquence and trenchant pen. He early became connected with that stanchum triumvirate (Continued on page 11) ```markdown ``` Race Actress Attains Fame Eugene Horner Took a By EDWARD G. PERRY Evelyn Ellis.
