COLLEGED WORLD'S SERIES
One wry gesturing thing was done during the second event of this column from the city, when the grand brothers of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten met here and requested the grand brother of Mr. Gruber grand secretary of the order.
While out of the city, this writer sent back an editorial to The Informer of Mysterious Ten, in which we urged that the official board of this fraternity and clarify the situation by giving Mr. McGruber a "dum bill of health."
Brailing the official board of difference as to procedure in trying to audit the accounts and clarify the situation by giving Mr. McGruber was not short in the funds entrusted to his charge and hounding. The Informer of Mysterious Ten argued that the grand master, grand lodge or any person official connected with the account of the grand master, sounded belief that the matter would be settled in an amicable and brotherly manner.
While our belief was justified fully by later developments, and while we were aware of the reality of the United Boards of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten, Mr. Gruber grand secretary and thereby absolving him from any shortage, it is our软弱 opinion that by order of this matter at the Beaconmont grand lodge, only was the charge that the grand secretary was short several thousand dollars calculated to injure his family, but such accession was likely to wreak much damage upon indecisive staff in decreasing the size of the company.
However, since the matter has been settled and everything appears to be going well, the family of this Texas order, we hope that these relations will continue to work more constructively to make more manifestative work will be employed heathier in auditing the accounts of the grand gate officers.
Like all growing cities, Houston has a strong connection with its metropolitan automotive and vehicular traffic, and it is next to impossible to pass and enter the city without a vehicle plume and satisfy everybody.
In observing traffic regulations in the majority of large cities in Texas and Louisiana, Houston is about the only large city in the country which permits to assemble or secure parking space on the street as angle parking, automotive traffic is laid up considerably in traffic as lack out of parking space.
Then, two, angle parking, with cars and give traffic much less law for speed, and jams and congestion is usually a result of automobile traffic.
The old idea of parking on the main thoroughfare of the city was largely seen as a place to place them where they could be seen, and where they would be easy to reach in thousands of automobiles in the city such village methods of parking can be met.
All cars, Houston should adopt parallel parking on all downtown streets in handling its automobile traffic. We have a municipal, metropolitan area about most everything else in the city, and we should remove "Homestyle Houston" out of the village category by abolishing it on Main Street.
.....
For the first time in the history of this season, Houston will win a championship two more times for the colored championship of America and the world, when the Kansas City Royals and the National Negro Leagues, and the Houston Black Bufalers, permit勇士 in the Texas Mets, clutch at West End Park. While many baseball experts contend that the Bufalers, the leaders of the Bufs are confident that the local club will make a fine showing against the invaders, the Bufalers are confident

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER

CRITICS PRAISE CONCERT GIVEN BY RACE ARTIST
Seattle, Wash.—(ANP)—Residents of this study are still try to assay the advantages have come to them as a result of the recent visits and appearances of Miss Marian Anderson. Both times that she has sung here the members of her race and the local musical colony have felt that she made unusual contributions as a colored artist showing the capabilities of her vocal ability which any race might feel proud of. It has been in the sense of a singer comparable to the best that the world offers that the daily practice of her ability which is exercised to her. The musical critic of the Seattle University follows the way to "Sunday night's concert by the American Philharmonic orchestra was largely a repetition of the preceding two performances between Miss Marian Anderson and Henry Hadley, the conductor, and just as the second performance of Miss Anderson's fourth appearance as solist with the stadium orchestra, it actually received as before. If the midsummer concerts had done nothing different, she would have sent to the finest of living contralto singers and it was plainly a reason for her deep appreciation to her go after the second encore.
The critic of the Seattle Daily Titanic "great artist," continued: "it was 'Marian Anderson night' at the University of Washington Stadium last summer, and deeply impressed her hearers at two of the earlier American Philharmonic concerts, turned to sing again, postponing her plans for a European trip. Last week she proved and appreciation. It gave her an ovation. If Miss Anderson was in the ocean passage she must have felt relief, in some measure at least, by her success."
Members of her race in this city are proud and of have risen to the top of the women. Most difficult for them to overcome is the critical who finds Miss Anderson possessed of such a marvous voice that she is able to be ranked as the "best of the届" women.
HOUSTON GAS FIRM
HAS LONG RECORD
FOR GOOD SERVICE
In dependability none will question the Houston Gas and Fuel Company's supremacy, coming into Houston with its states and backed up with great gas refiners containing 5,000,000 cubic feet of plant that is kept in readiness in case of any unusual crisis or emergency operation within 24 hours, long before the reserve supply of gas is used by the domestic consumers. The Houston Gas and Fuel Company has the overwhelming advantage of 67 years of experience in managing the gas business in all its phases. That the Houston Gas and Fuel Company is fully aware of the great challenges it faces, its ability is attested by the fact that last year the company installed 8,000 gas refiners ready put in 9,000. This shows just how the growth of the plant and the development of the crisis

had destroyed the life of their father because of his extreme concentration. The authorities sought to drag the truth from the set lips of the men, who were the boys, reading that they had talked too freely to be taken no more. During the trial, the following bits of the defendants: They did not know what Doctor Tate knew. They knew he had left considerable knowledge but had left a hidden place which would be difficult to find. It was at least $100,000 thousand, all art, though they were not all art, though they were exceptionally gold to gold.
They had seen many different coins in his possession, any green-backs about him, any blacks with a mustache. He were a mustache. They refused to cloture them. He clotured. Henge
ment the brothers caught a sight of him they knew they had been trapped. They gave up without a struggle. The Taleb boys were convicted and sentenced to be hanged. They were down on their knees when a double trap was sprung. It was the first double hanging in the state and it took place in the same building where some spectacle. The boys met their death unhappily. The people died to protect the real killer that the Taleb brothers were innocent and died to protect the real killer.
What had become of the hidden gold? That was the question, and no one knew the answer to it. The old Taleb place was called the House of Gold. It was a large building, and the result, recently a poor farmer, while moving the house, heard something rattle to the floor and roll away, dropping from a hole in the unplastered wall. When the farmer saw it up and carried it away. And it was not a dream, for the Taleb gold was there. He and said one hundred dollars even for the killer. Strangely enough, no one had ever examined the walk of the House of Hidden Gold. Old Taleb, Martin, infiltrated colored city of the county seat, also connected with the Farmer's Trust Company Bank, became an authority on the case. Although he was only a small boy at the time.

King Prempeh and The Golden Stool
A
He looks a regal figure on a lofty throne with a huge volve®
umbrella standing over him.
IN TWO PARTS
Part I
By J. A. Rogers
MANY now living will recall the stirring story of King Prempeh and the Golden Stool—how for several months during 1900 the civilized world breathed interest to learn certain events that were happening in King Prempeh's capital, Coonasville.
I said King Prempeh and the Golden Stool, but if one is to deal with them in order to be better to say: The Golden Stool and King Prempeh, for it is the former that is the real hero of this story.
King Prempeh's people, the Ashanti, gave him up readily enough, when over the years when an English governor expressed his desire only to sit on the Golden Stool, England had a costly little war on her hands. The governor and his wife nearly became white while a good many other white people lost theirs.
Great Warriors.
The Ashanti are the most warlike people in east Africa, history back to the dimest antiquity and some historians say that they are the descendants of those civilized Ethiopians who were driven southwards by the Egyptians as told by Herodotus Diodorus Siculus, ancient historians. As to the Ashanti, many of them, like the Brahmins, believe that they came directly by the Ashtani, along with other peoples on the Gold Coast, had traded with the Phoenicians before Christ was born, and with Europe anti trade with France began in 1386, and with England in 1672. Further, it is asserted that black men from this region had been coming over to America long before the arrival of the theory set forth by Prof. Weiner of Harvard Univer-
mpeh and
den Stool
sity in his book: "Africa and the Discovery of America." The Gold Coast is so called because of the quantity of fish in its streams and even in the streets of the towns after the rainy season. It was gold and the slave trade that had first brought the Europeans there. A large proportion of the towns who were brought to the World came from this region. The Ashantis are a very proud people, and not without cause. For two centuries they had not only dominated neighborhoods but had fought the Europeans who sought to take away their country. The British and the Dutch were both compelled to pay tribute to the Ashanti kings, several British expeditions against them were defeated.
Died Fully Out
Prior to 1853, this powerful
nation had even run the whole of
the Gold Coast and the Fiftieth
year of the Dutch. And the Fiftieth
year of the French in

O FAR we've been telling about the places of amusement in Paris and we could go on much longer for in number and variety, there seems to be no end of them.
This week, by the way of a change, we'll go on a sightseeing tour. Later we'll tell students which are among the most famous in the world.
When Food Sours
Sweeten the stomach—instantly
About two hours after eating many people will feel thirsty and it indigestion. It means that the stomach nerves have been acidified. The way to correct it is with a sugar acid. The way to correct it is with its volume in acid. The way to correct it is with Milk of Marinella—just a tasteless dose in water. It is pleasant, efficient and standard with physicians in the 50 years.

It is now known as the Cathedral of Notre Dame, made of marble and granite. The Cathedral of Notre Dame, made of marble and granite, is more than 200 years old. It is a perfect gem of the city. Notre Dame is an undefinitely beautiful beauty framed against the stars. Inside one feels almost like a palace. Notre Dame rises like the trunks of great trees in a forest. Far up in a building, Notre Dame has had man's ups and downs.

Editorial
WHAT'S WRONG WITH NEGRO HOSPITAL?
Ever since the dedication of the Houston Negro Hospital on June 19, 1926, the question of what is wrong with this institution has been uppermost in the minds of the colored citizens of this community and even the state.
Now, from all sections of the country come inquiries seeking to know what is the trouble with and at the Houston Negro Hospital, and why it is that it is the only institution of its kind in America, or the world, where certain forces are willing to injure, if not destroy, the hospital in order to maintain one certain person in a position of power and authority.
Of course, The Informer realizes that the idea of a hospital as a health center and not as a place of final resort before crossing the great divide, must be taught and impressed upon our people, who heretofore have regarded such institutions largely as the vestibule to death; but this educational program can not be accepted. The hospital has as its head some person in whom the people, for whom the hospital was erected to serve, have no confidence or goodwill.
In opposing the present superintendent of the Houston Negro Hospital, The Informer wishes to reiterate that it has no personal dislike for the present head of the institution, nor has this paper poured any journalistic spleen upon any person connected in an official capacity with the local Negro hospital; but this paper possesses definite and well-fixed ideas and notions about the maintenance and operation of such a plant, and we venture to believe that the institution will be greatly affected by the present superintendent, nor with the system now in vogue in connection with the management and control of the hospital.
The Informer takes the position that no member of the white race, it matters not what position he occupies, should try to force any Negro upon the colored citizenry of this or any other community, if the colored citizens object to the said person occupying such a position; and the fact that the Houston Negro Hospital is supposed to be a charitable gift to the Negroes of this community, does not alter this attitude one whit.
There is an old adage that "beggars can't be choosers," but even mendicants should and do enjoy and exercise some rights which are warranted to all men by the laws of God and man. The community has reached the conclusion that the Negroes of Houston should be satisfied with anything, as it relates to this hospital, and that agitation for the removal of the present superintendent will cause the race to lose this institution sooner or later.
If this hospital should be taken away from the Negroes of Houston because they object to a woman serving as superintendent who does not possess the necessary characteristics for the office, and who on the other hand has proven a millstone around the institution's neck, then the gift of the hospital is bare and its supposed ideals and purposes become a hollow mockery.
The day of big stick, bluff, intimidations, threats, duress and extra-legal methods has passed, and there are some people who can not be driven or frightened from the path of right by any such procedure; and those who essay to invoke and employ such tactics are not sure that their efforts are futile. An enlightened public opinion will not countenance, condone or support any such program.
Most assuredly, if the Houston Negro Hospital were given to the Negroes of this community, then these people certainly have a right to express their preference for the type of man or woman they desire to serve as superintendent of the institution, as well as having the right to express their preference. Going a bit further, these same colored citizens have the inherent and constitutional right to register their objections and protests against any person serving in an official role at this hospital, and for any one to charge that this opposition and objection to the present superintendent is being fostered and propagated by a minority "radical element" is a base and wilful fabrication and a parsimonious employee of the hospital. The same colored citizens are objecting to the present superintendent of the Houston Negro Hospital because she is a stickler for system and will not permit the institution to get into a slippad, happy go- lucky condition, is the idle chatter of malicious or misinformed persons; but what will efficiency and proficiency amount to, if same are not backed up with common sense, tact and disposition to get along with the people one is working for business on May 15, 1927, the numerous employees at the Houston Negro Hospital, under the reign and rule of the present superintendent and her chief Nordic adviser and devotee, have come and gone with regularity; and the ax has fallen recklessly upon registered nurses, office help and other employees about the premises.
Are we to accept the explanation that all of these persons have the right to express their preference, incompetent or unfit for their various tasks, and the superintendent, like the kings of old, can do no wrong? That she is perfect and incapable of committing
THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPT. 14, 1929
errors? That, like the pope at the vatican, she is infallible, without spot or blemish?
LOCAL
HAPPENINGS
Among the fourteen millions of Negroes in America, is it a lamentable fact that there is only one person in these United States to serve as executive head of the Houston Negro Hospital? Aside from the ruthless and reckless employment and discharge of hospital help during her administration, what has the present situation with the unique hospitalization plan evolved when the institution was formed?
Mia Viola Hill has returned home a six-week vacation at Seabreak. Elmore G. Hill, Chicago, is visiting mrs. Mrs. E. J. Nelson, 415-755-7222.
What has she done to "sell" the hospital to the Negroes of Houston? How many organizations has she contacted and what kind of cooperation has she been able to get from the religious, professional, social, civic and business leaders of this community?

Is it true, as charged in a letter from the white head of one of the institutions where the present local superintendent saw short and unsatisfactory service, that she boasts of her Indian lineage, only prates of the fact that she has no Negro blood in her veins?
M. Larry Edmondson and daughter, Vera and Amanda, left Thursday, who will attend where they will spend the week-end. Mr. and Mr. George Hall, 250 Dallas, were called to Braxoria Court to attend the funeral of Mr. Mafia Hall.
Did the present superintendent mistreat and humiliate Miss P. A. Newby, the North Carolina nurse who was brought here and then refused the position previously tendered to the by executive head of the Houston Negro Hospital, to "get even" with the young lady for some differences they had some years ago at Hubbard Hospital, Nashville. Tennessee?
Mrs. Susie Mau Carter and children of Beaumont are in the city visiting aunt, Mrs. Mamie Allen, 309 Polk. Mrs. Pearl Mearl Head Ocampo, San Francisco, Calif., is visiting her sister, Marcia, 141 Suiam, and other relatives.
Why did the superintendent turn against Prof. I. M. Terrell the one man who was largely responsible for her being connected with the local institution, after he had brought her here against the advise and counsel of local doctors and others who knew something about the inability of the present head of the local hospital to ret along with members of her own race?

Miss Helen Vivian Greene, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Green, L1721 Nelson, left this week for Prairie View College to resume her studies.
Finally, if the Houston Negro Hospital is not the personal property of one person or a small bloc, why can not the Negroes of this city have some real voice and part in its management, maintenance and operation?

For the last two years the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas—formerly presided over by Dr. L. K. Williams, now of Chicago and present head of the National Baptist Convention of America, Inc., and Rev. A. L. Boone, now pastoring one of the largest Baptist churches at Cleveland, Ohio—has been torn asunder, not because of any difference of opinion concerning the doctrines, polity and fundamentals of the church, but rather over offices and the "spoils."

The rift occurred originally at Paris in 1927, when a successor to President Boone was chosen, and the smouldering embers were fanned into fire last year at Sherman, when the election of officers became the order of the day.
Charges and counter-charges have flown thick and fast from both factions, and, despite the fact that denominational agencies and causes are suffering due to lack of moral support and financial backing, both factions have raised sufficient funds to wage legal litigation in the courts of the land.
Any denomination has drifted upon dark and dismal days when it must resort to carnal tribunals to settle and adjudicate matters purely religious and connectional; and our Baptist brethren in this state, by their continual and persistent wrangling, bickering and fighting, are not only injuring and hampering their own paring and disregarding but they are arresting discord and bringing disgrace upon their race and giving Christianity an ebony-haed optic.

In order for belligerents to put a cessation to their battle, both sides must be willing to agree to an armistice, and if they are sincere in their *desires* for peace and resumption of friendly relations, their groups will make certain concessions to attain the desired end.
Mr. W. M. Reese, wife of Dr. W. M. Reese, died in ill at the family home, 1299 Bayside, is somewhat better and hopes to be with her school dutes at Hippe's Hospital.
Even denizens of the underworld and habitues of dives and sinful resorts will often declare a truce and attempt to work together harmoniously for their common good; and it appears to the Informer that, if these professed Christian leaders are true followers of the teachings of Peace, they should be more than willing to hatch a hatchet with the olive branch of peace, and get about their Father's business.
God can not use any man or set of men in his human-reclamation and soul-salvation program, who wrangle and content about unprincipled and selfish matters.
Isn't there some Baptist in Texas who can so marshal these forces that he can bring peace out of confusion and order out of chaos?
Are we suffering with such a dearth of religious leadership among the Baptists in this state that no man is available to take the lead in healing the breech between these two warring and contending factions?
After two years of court actions, newspapers articles, tirades and attacks on platforms and pulpits, district and state divisions, is it not possible that there is enough of the spirit of Jesus Christ left among these brethren to exemplify the teachings of their Master?

While these denominational leaders are striving and snorting about who will be president of the state convention, and who will occupy this office and hold that position, their constituents are becoming disgusted and demoralized, and many of the local churches are facing a literal starvation period, both spiritually, financially and otherwise.
BEGINS FALL MUSIC CLASSES
The fall music term of Mrs. P. O. Smith, popular music teacher, will get underway on Friday at the studio 1902 Rice Street. Instruction given both to individuals and classes with attention to be brought home. Fare is $10.
Men who are so obsessed with the desire for office and its emulations that they will resort to any extremes to attain such ends, are not worthy of the support and confidence of self-respecting men and women (in the church and in the family and women) in these local churches can end this whole fiasco toorrow, if they would only show some moral courage and withdraw all support from these wrangling and bickering pastors and religious leaders until they (the denominational leaders) cease their involvement and contention and return to the ancient landmarks of the church.

Since the ministers seem to be unable to lead the denomination out of this wilderness of confusion, bickering, suspicion, distrust, mistrust and petty politics, the Informer suggests that they compromise on some well-prepared, conscientious hayman, and place the toga of leadership upon his shoulders, and then join in the denomination's cause. The Informer concludes from the position that the denomination's cause will not get very far along this line under the type of ministerial leadership we have in Texas today.
