HOUSTON 88KES CONCLAVE RUNNING TRUE TO FORM CONFERENCE ACTION As we stand upon the threshold of a new year, with its many opportunities for larger service; and as we take a retrospective view and bear in mind the fine support accorded us during the past year and years, it is not mere idle words when we take this occasion to extend to our many readers, advertisers and well-wishers our most profound gratitude for their best efforts. We have strived nearly to produce a meritorious and distinctive paper during the expiring year and we shall redouble our efforts during 1930 to present to our large family of readers a vastly improved publication. Aside from giving many thanks to this time's helping also to solve our economic problem by giving constant employment to ten members of the race in our printing plant, to say nothing of the many agents handling the paper here and elsewhere.

Without making much fuss about it, the Nu Phi chapter of the Omega Phi Fraternity, of which Judge J. Alston Atkins is basileum, has sent its delegate to the eighteenth annual conclave in session at Baltimore, Maryland, this week, with instructions and credentials to bring the 1930 session of fraternity to "Heavenly Houston." The Omega has never held an annual parley in the Southwest or South, the main objection being the employment of "jim-erow" railroad accommodations in making the trip for the year. In the North and East, in the South. As for Allogood, who showed himself a poor sport and was a member of a committee because of the color of one member, he will do nothing. As for the distribution is immutable, inorganic and unchanging. Because a city that Alabama must be represented in the congress of the United States by such prepaid demagogues as Allogood and Effin.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER NEGRO PRELATE GOES TO TRIAL FOR JOB SALES Chicago, Ill., Dec. 25—(By The Associated Negro Press). Interest is rampant in the investigation of the grand jury in alleged selling of civil service jobs and graft which opened here Friday, involving several members of the civil service board, including Bishop Archibald J. Carey of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop Carey was indicted several weeks ago when a white man testified that he had paid the bishop or his representatives sums of money for jobs which were never delivered, and it is alleged that promotions were contingent upon the amount of money paid for the recommendations that the most recent developments involve the calling of Alderman Louis B. Anderson and Robert R. Jackson of the Second and Third Wards and Alderman B. A. Croson, the Jewish alderman of the Fourth Ward, which is predominantly colored, as witnesses. According to the testimony of several policemen, these aldermen have been instrumental in having them reinitiated in the past, which they have not lost for various reasons. Aldermen Jackson and Anderson have stated that they would be willing to testify before the grand jury or any other body as they have nothing whatever to fear. Alderman Croson, who is a nephew of Corporation Counsel Samuel Ettelson, is also willing to face the music and has declared that he has done nothing to defeat the purpose of the civil service commission. Bishop Carey, when indicted, stated that he was innocent of any graft charges and said the whole affair was a frame-up. The individual who brought in the charges that he had paid money for various civil service jobs to the bishop is said to be a confidence man par excellence and has a record in this sort of endeavor. The bishop declared at the first hearing and in a statement to the press, that he had only seen his accuser once and that was when he, the bishop, had him brought in for questioning. Friends and supporters of the churchman and politician have come to his rescue and join hands with him in interpreting the indictment and the charges as a frame-up and an effort on the part of political enemies to discredit the civil service commission as a whole, as appointed by Mayor William Hale Thompson. The case is expected to be a long drawn out affair, extending through several weeks. The investigators have gone over the list of promotions and appointees to all civil service jobs and declare that their findings indicate that many have secured advancements and appointments which are (Continued on Editorial Page) used ineligible players during the past grid season. It has been decided definitely by conference action, steps should be taken to avoid a repetition of this discipline. The original suggest the four-year rule, for we believe such a rule is best for participating in any line of collegiate athletics for four years, uninterrupted. The rule about reached the professional stage, and professionalism and commercialism and collegiate sports. HEROINE FIRES; DRUMMER HIT HEROINE FIRES; DRUMMER HIT New Orleans, La.

LAWYER STATES BRUSEAUX TRIED TO EXTORT FUNDS Chicago, Ill.—(By The Associated Negro Press).—Christmas greetings from C. Francis Stradford, former president of the National Bar Association, to Sheridan A. Bruseaux, principal of the Bruseaux National Detective Agency, came in the form of a charge that Bruseaux had tried to engineer an extortion plot in which the lawyer and Dr. Benjamin Bluitt, prominent Chicago physician and surgeon, were to have been the victims. Stradford's charge against Bruseaux came after the appearance of a story in a local paper siring the details of an inquest into an alleged illegal operation of a hospital and the greater died by Dr. Bluitt and the fee charged by Mr. Stradford for representing the physician. Dr. Bluitt was discharged by the coroner's jury, but it was intimated in the story published that the fee of $3,000 which he had paid Attorney Stradford was exorbitant and that it must have been obtained because Dr. Bluitt was afraid of the consequences of the situation in which he found himself. The name of Bruseaux was not mentioned in the story, but Stradford in his reply to the article places the entire blame upon the detective. Although the information was not contained in the statement of Mr. Stradford, it is claimed that Dr. Bluitt found difficulty in assembling the $3,000 fee and was forced, when unable to collect rent from Mr. Bruseaux who lives in his building, to wire William "Goosenock" McDonald, a local hospital, to which he was granted by Mr. Stradford.

PROBER Washington, D. C.—(By the Associated Negro Press).—In his maiden speech before congress, Congressman Oscar DePriest of Illinois urged the house of representatives to approve the request of President Hoover for power to appoint a special commission to investigate conditions in Haiti and that a Negro be appointed on the commission. The congressman from Illinois was urged to restrict the appointment of the commission, but was eloquent in his opinion that Negro should be placed on the commission. Congressman Oscar DePriest of the Haitian republic was populated and ruled by members of the darker races that were more confident in the commission, if a Negro were a member of the group. If Negro were appointed on the commission, pressed the desire to see the government take such an interest in the problem of Haitian refugees in the Americas as that manifested in the plight of Haitians. Millions of Haitians are in the poorest part of the United States, are yet denied their rights as citizens and it is the duty of the legislative bodies should be equally as interested in their well-being. Congressman Oscar DePriest of the House of representatives approved the commission and many of the Democratic representatives were commended by Congressman DePriest, which was commended by Congressman DePriest, because I appreciate the condition of the house converted to the right of the black Americans who are living in Haiti in almost every state south of the Mason-Dixon line. I congratulate the black Americans on Haiti and conceding the common people the right to self-determination in America, and that we will all enjoy the same rights and privileges."

PAGE TWO SYNOPSIS (Continued From Last Week "Some day I am going there to have my try," the girl said with flashing eyes. "Of course you are, my dear," Mrs Prescott assured her: "you can't bury a voice like yours here forever, you know." North pressed her arm and smiled. "That's what I've been telling her," he said, "but she wouldn't believe me." The studio was a large, airy second, victory room, and a number of portraits were already hung, while many more were stacked against the walls. The group scattered, examining the paintings and exclaiming over them. Lesson was left standing alone before two portraits, a man and a woman in middle life. Then she recognized them as the Broadens. She wondered why she had been so slow in knowing them. The likenesses were good, she could see that the features were those of her host and hostess of a few nights ago. What was the difference? She turned and examined other portraits that hung near, puzzling out the problem as she looked from one to another. Then in a swift revealing moment she had the answer. In spite of the fact that the drawing was well done, and the features characteristically Negro, they gave an effect not being Negroes at all, but white portraits painted in darker shades—sedan subtly social-element lack—which was so much so this star is not only commenced to associate with other impressions in her "The Broadens" drawing room, York One music the cheered on heard in the night that night. North came and stood beside her, looking eagerly to see a face for her. Her face was tried to find words for her incoachie impressions. I can see you know a heap about my life. I am very like Mr. and Mrs. Broaden, only they can't look just like colored people and they are so very old. I am so very old as they were dashed in spirit. "That's a matter of artistic technique," he explained. I was very old. I was a matter of the art of "I know what you mean about this," he has been used by great artists, then, and is only very good. I am very so much like my subjects. After all, if the pictures look like them, that's about all that you were in the world. The girl noticed a defensive tone in his voice and hastened to reassure him to be so very old. He was veryوحور. I know what you mean about this, he is very smart to catch them so well. I was very so much like my subjects. I can see the subject of New York. I wish you'll tell me some more things about the colored people up North," he begged. "Certainly, my dear. And Frank only the most. I am so very old a lot even in the three years since he has been here." She stepped bevel her arm through their. "Come and see it down," she said. "Frank can leave me." She returned to the room and put her pen in her hand for him. That's the good of being a painter. The man you told me about the life, while people go to hear them sing? Lissa asked. "I am a woman laughed," "Do they? Why, my dear child, if a New-er-most is here on the same day, I'm a new-er-most." "I am a woman's story," he as a more top-liners now, and lots of capa- "I suppose it would take an awful lot of money to go on and study?" Lissa queried. "Yes, that's the big trouble in where in the south. It takes so much time to get back, a starting point," said there is so little to do it with. Lissa hesitated on the edge of a vital question, then framed it, with her wide, warm gaze on the woman's sympathetic face: "I'm not a money to you, but it would take" Mrs. Prescott considered a moment. "Oh, I suppose it would take at least a couple of years to do it properly—even to get a good start, and living is high up there, somewhere between three thousand dollars," Imagine. Lissa received the information in blank silence. The older woman saw the disappointment in her face and patted her hand sympathetically. "But don't you worry about that. Something is sure to turn up sooner or later?" They were joined by several others, and the talk turned on North's paintings. Presently the party commenced to break up and leave, and Lissa's acquaintance asked if she would like to return to home, as they were driving downtown and would pass near the Atkinsons. In the privacy of the comfortable sedan the girl seemed wrapped around with an atmosphere of security and luxury. Looking out upon the familiarity of a room such as a vantage point anything seemed possible, even a New York carver, even two thousand dollars. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1929 It's no use, Grandma," she said, and there was a new hard tone in her words. "It's not going to be a good thing, I'm going something like hell that has been waiting to get. There's no use breaking our hearts over it. You better forget it, and not let it first go." "But all does new friend's yo' got—in' they yo' kind? What's de matter—did de m?" I don't know, "Lissa said wearily. They seem to spend all their time saying how glad they are to be Negroes and all the time they're trying to do it." "You're just a little white," "Hush yo' mout," child, "Mamba chided." "Ain't yo' knows swearin' ain't fu ladies sure I want to be a lady after all," Lissa exclaimed. She got to her feet and strode to the open window, then turned and faced. Mamba again had his balance on the other side of the Southern noon, her fists were clenched at her aides and shaking slightly from their muscular tension. Oh, I'm a good one, I think I'll want," she flung out in reckless voice, "but if I don't find out soon and get it I'm going crazy." Lissa had never been on intimate terms with Gardinia Whitmore. This was strange, because their music had shown them together with the old man, and the voice was more perfectly suited to each other's they were always in demand for duets at recitals and concerts. The explanation of the project was the same. Lissa's instinctive good taste. She was not herself aware that she possessed such a characteristic. But she realized that while she was so old, she was so undecisive, it is the popular soprano, she experienced an involuntary withdrawal into herself at the other's frankly addicted to the other's life. And did not hold the same position in society that she did, for while Gardinia was accepted everywhere on account of her voice was obvious that she did not follow. Seen in the Bradens' drawing room Gardina immediately made one move. She was magnificently proportioned, with a black silhouette of body and head, with a white armored banked fence of desire amouldered and glowed. She seemed at times to move among the furniture with a desperate grip. She would be seized by a gale so reckless that it seemed almost violently. She would be seized by her sardonic and sultry gaze. But over her lay, a transparent gaze, but not in the least disguise her essential self, gave her hostess something unpleasant. When they introduced her to their friend, But when Gardina sane, everything was forgotten, and people exchanged a smile. It would have been difficult to find a more interesting contrast than that of the two women and the four of their appearances in a duet. They were of the same height, but Lissan was taller and more refined refinement of form and feature. Her powers in reserve, and there was behind her art an indefinite suggestion of higher number lippers. Gardinia, on the other hand, was an emotional woman, and she had the derig discipline of the Monday Night Musical Club, she captured her mother's most physical. In spite of Lissan's outburst to Mama she found herself on the pavement before the Reformed Church, and she had the morning service stream past her. The week had increased rather than decreased in her presence. In spite of Mama's entreaties, she had no confidence in her. In the next week she gave a grandmother that she wanted to go into words. There was no gun to put into words. There was no old woman had been putting some words on her. The need of such an institution has thur, treasurer; M.

The challenged, Lisa gave the matter thought. "Oh, I don't know," she answered. "Morse there's the girl." Her mother went out "Good Gawd!" her communion exploded. "You don't call life, do you?" "Well most nights, when I am not singing, I sit just round with Grandma." "You little hula-raises!" "Gardina wicked, Arent you trapp the crap you get!" "Frank North, that's it!"

You think you get it! life with a red line, and night turned in Gardina shocked Lisa's sensibilities, as she always did when she let her girl go, but the girl was concerned. Also she was acutely aware of the physical attraction of the girl at her bedside, and then she was adored to something hidden deep within her.

This is indicated by a value of thirty, a value of life in his job while the youthful resident of a farmhouse a week for pasturing cows. At the end of 12 weeks he had saved $1500. He was the man of the foreman of a gage, collected the账册 of his own property, and worked his ingenuity not to work for a profit. As he reached maturity he worked for some few years about the limitations of the Kansas town he travelled for some few years about Chicago. This was more than thirty years ago. Here he extended his work and acquired a contractor in this field. As a result he was so profitable he gradually became his surplus funds. When the Negro business increased he commenced the business of leasing property and sub-leasing it to his business. He did his own decorating. In this way he became established as a realtor and a successful realtor. He gave up his work as a decorator and his activities entirely to the real estate firm. In this business he has made an outstanding success and he is today one of the most respected and associated officers in Chicago. His political PRist found his best service in Chicago, and associated himself in that field with Major John C. Hancock, who has come up through all the graduations of political life, beginning with eliminating stair and pulling doorbell, and his associates. He was successively appointed to the various minor conventions, leader in his ward organization, county commissioner in Chicago, delegate to several Renolis commerces commissioner, ward commiteeman, and as a crown achievement in the county in 28 years. He occupies a seat in the congress of the late Congressman Martin B. Madden, the gentle effort, perseverance and the exercise of keen judgment another member of the commitee cumulate a large fortune and become a power in the civic and political life. COMMERCIAL NEWS ITEMS BARCUS THROWS DEFI AT GREEN AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Ohio Grand Chancellor Flails Pythian Leader Anent Building Project Columbus, Ohio—Dealing in convincing facts and figures and challenging the titular leader of the Pythian fraternity to deny some of his charges, Sir Robert B. Barres, grand chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Ohio, jurisdiction of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, has written an open letter to Sir S. W. Green of New Orleans, La., supreme chancellor of the order, in which the redubtable Ohio literally castigates the Pelican City "Little Napoleon." This open letter of Mr. Barbus, who is also a member of the attorney general's staff of the Buckeye.State, is in answer to an open letter written to him by Mr. Green under date of November 11, 1929. Tearing to amithereens some of the home-spun and illogical argument advanced by Mr. Green in his open letter chiding him (Mr. Barcus) for alleged failure, as head of Ohio Pythians, to support the national administration of the fraternity and for the evering relations with the supreme lodge because of the latter's gigantic and blundering building policy, Mr. Barcus concludes by saying: "You will find numerous 'grains of wheat and 'no chaff' in this communication if you will only take time to remove the motes from your eyes." Attacks Investment Policy After charging and proving that the supreme lodge had assessed the grant of $10,000 for "building projects, Mr. Barrow continues, "not noted that you represented under date of November 11, 1929 that, 'the Pythian Bath House and National Pythian Temple are both built on the same site,' the Pythian Bath House and Santafenium at Hot Springs, Arkansas, are not expected to be a paying investment in dollars and cents but was for building a hotel. "You, therefore, admit that the Pythian Bath House built at a cost of $450,000 taxation of the members of the Granda and Subordinate Lodges, is a failure of enterprise. This building was erected by money paid to the Supreme Lodge and Subordinate Lodges, is a failure of certificates of Indebedness to the Grand Lodges and Grand Counts as well, as you may see fit to call them. You say now that 'the Certificates of Indebedness are Certificates as of the commencement of the Grand Lodges and Grand Counts, which will entitle them to the income claimed from the income of the National Pythian Temple and the Pythian Bath House.' "What is an investment? Webster's International Dictionary defines money in purchase of a species of property, as a source of income of property." "You say in your open letter on pages eleven twice the twelve that the Pythian Temple Stile would be entitled to whatever dividends that may be declared from the purchase of the Pythian Plane and the Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium by the Pythian Temple Commission; so that your statement on your statement on pages eleven and twelve of your letter of November 11, the Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium not expected to be a paying investment in that that 'the Certificates as of Stockholdings dividends that may be declared by the Pythian Temple Commission from the income of the National Pythian Temple and the Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium." "The Supreme Lodge certainly would not have obstructed itself by being involved in the dividends out of income of the Bath House, if it had not expected there- "What is a dividend? Webster's International Dictionary defines dividend as follows: 'It is a sum of money or quantity of commodities to be divided and distributed; the share of a sum divided that falls to each individual; a distributed sum, share, or percentage; applied to profits as apportioned among share holders.' "It, therefore, appears from your own language that the Certificates as of Stock in the sum of $450,000 of the $580,640 paid to the Supreme Lodge to finance the construction of the Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium at a cost of $450,000 at Hot Springs, Arkansas, was done with the expectation of declaring and paying dividends to the holders thereof from the income from that enterprise. "It further appears that your financial statement of the cash assets of the Supreme Lodge on July 1, 1929, is inaccurate and incorrect in that it reports as cash assets $69,697.45 under the head of Taxes Receivable, which are taxes alleged to be due from several Grand Lodges, but which have not been collected or received by the Supreme Master of Exchequer. "Your financial statement of cash assets of the Supreme Lodge on July 1, 1929, is inaccurate and erroneous in the head of 'Accured Interest Receipt' for the Supreme Lodge of 828.478, but not which has not been collected or received by the Supreme Master of Exchequer. You know at time that you were preparing your 'so-called financial statement the exact balance in cash in all of the Supreme Lodge of the Supreme Master of Exchequer to me under date of November 11, 1929, that there were cash assets in the Supreme Lodge July 1, 1929, of $912.878. How could any man simply try to be the 'confirming member' of the Grand Jurisdictions and the public in general of the solvency of the Supreme Lodge before his eyes," as contained in the report of the Supreme Master of Exchequer as he informs set out on a copy of a letter sent to me by you and Construction Company, from the Construction Company of October 8, 1929, which reflects on the solvency of the Supreme Lodge "Western Iron Construction Co. Inc., 4906-08 North Clark St., Chicago "October 8, 1929. “Upon my return to the city today, I was much surprised to learn that we have received to date—only a little over $17,000 of a total past due of $61,725. “We are being rushed and squeezed by our banks who cannot see why a proper plan of financing was not done by you long ago in anticipation of this crisis. “The sum and substance of all this is—we want our money and want it at once, as we do not see why we should wait for the expiration date of your proclamation calling for this tax. “May we suggest that you call a meeting at once of all Grand Chancellor, as which time they will be advised that a receivership for the building will be instituted, unless each and every Grand Lodge comes to the immediate rescue of the Supreme Lodge and pays our money.” “This letter is signed by the Western Iron Construction Company, Inc. How can any honest man try to conceive the confiding members of the Order in the Ohio and whether Grand Jurisdiction and the public in general of the solvency of the Supreme Lodge with this letter of the Western Iron Construction Company, Inc., plainly before his eyes?” "Further, why, if as you claim, there were cash assets in the case of $812,375.81 you beg the Grand Chancellors at the session held in April 2015 to buy National Pythian Temple Burying Tales in advance Pythian Temple Burying Tales in advance Pythian General contractor at least $50,000 or the sum of $61,725, which was due to the National Pythian Temple or October 1, 1929? I remember or October 1, 1929? The answer is that you have no such cash assets in the Supreme Lodge's treasury, $327.85, on the other hand, you have $327.85, on the Supreme Lodge's treasury on that date the sum of $7,781.20, as contained in the report of the Supreme Master of Executions." "Further, the Supreme Attorney in taking the report to the Supreme Lodge's treasury could be devised for obtaining some money from the Grand Lodge or otherwise to deliver for the National Pythian Temple Lodge was heavily in debt, and that the burden was proving to be too heavy to bear, and that the National Lodge was in debt, and that topups, which was slowly, but surely, crushing the life out of the Supreme Lodge." "How can any man try to convince in Ohio and other Grand Jurisdictions and the public in general of the solvency of the report of the Supreme Attorney is before his eyes, telling him of the special condition of the Supreme Lodge." "Further, the Pythian Bath House, 500 Santiam, casting about 100,000 members, was sold because it did not earn the county taxes of $489,800. How can you convince the 'confiding members of the solvency' of the Supreme general of the solvency of the Supreme with these facts before my eyes? The Temple, costing $1,800,000 with an appraisal value of $1,000,000 on the taxes having been paid on the property for nearly two years, how can the taxes have been paid on the Order of the solvency of the Supreme Lodge, when that organization is principal only and must be paid at maturity and other special bond holders in the amount of $429,800. THE HOUSTON INFORMER. SATURDAY. The Stormy Career of Jack Johnson -- No. 5 Text by ROLFE DELLON Drawn by FRED B. WATSON Jack's victory over Duro Flinson, the tough, bivoghi city-wide acclaim. And due to his diminutive also he was nicknamed "LK Arthur." He is in the city to come to deliberation he offered twenty-five dollars to anyone who would stay four rounds with him. Jack answered the challenge, but he needed the four rounds, for Thompson obliged him in advance. That it was two rounds, he could women. Forty do guard the twelve-five dollars. Up in this display of little passion, Jack and his made his plans for a buying corner. Thompson his plans for a buying corner. Thompson his plans for a buying corner. Thompson who was there a tightener of considerable prominence. In spite of Jack's growing pressure and pressure in pugilism his actions and decisions palpable upon him not to arrest his child, Jack did not control his schooling even, but to deferred to them by promising to complete the grammar grade. which amounts to $28,938, and the Supreme Lodge has only about $7,000 as cash assets? “The Supreme Lodge is indebted to its holders of notes, for the sum of $234,579.75. At six per cent per annum, the interest on that amount is $14,074.79 but with only about $7,000 in cash assets and having not one profitable revenue building in its name, how can I convince the ‘confiding members of the Order in Ohio and other Grand Jurisdictions and the public in general of the solvency of the Supreme Lodge’ with these figures plainly before my eyes.” “Further, assuming that the Western Iron Construction Company, Inc. had been paid $61,000 since the Supreme Lodge adjourned in August, 1929, the Supreme Lodge would be indebted to sit for work up to date and in a sum of $273,275, and the interest on that amount would be $16,396.51, making the total sum of interest and principal to be $289,671. Now, how can a man say that any organization is solvent under such circumstances with only about $7,000 in cash assets? "Further, you tell us now that the vast sum of $586,6460, which the Supreme Lodge collected and received from the Grand Lodges and Grand Courts at different times from the year of 1903 down to the year of 1929 was not a loan, and there is no interest due to them on this money, but that it represents worthless stock in the Supreme Lodge holdings, and that the Grand Lodges and Grand Courts are merely stock or share holders. This means that the Grand Lodges and Grand Courts have invested $586,640 of their money in the Supreme Lodge worthless stock." "Further, why did you not tell the members of the Supreme Jurisdiction that interest bearing Pythian Temple coupons sold to some of the Grand Lodges under your administration, when they became due, were returned as 'unpaid' to such Grand Lodges, because the Supreme Lodge was insolvent so far as being able to pay the interest due on such bonds?" "Quoting from your open letter of November 11, 1929, I find the follow: Manipulating Figures “If you could manipulate dollars as you are able to manipulate figures you would have been a millionaire long since.” “In answer to the foregoing statement I return the compliment by saying that if you were as good on making 'actual cash assets' out of 'uncollected Pythian taxes' and 'uncollected deferred accrued interest' due on such 'uncollected Pythian Temple Taxes,' as well as you are able to juggle figures, relating to the actual cash assets in the hands of the Supreme Master of Exchequer, July 1, 1929, you would have been long since hailed and proclaimed as 'the Eighth Wonder of the World.' Misapplication and Diversion Pythian Temple Tax Fund "Quoting from your open letter under date of November 11, 1929, page 128, the "Funds collected for the erection of a Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium and a National Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium and the payment of attorney fees and court costs in the Georgia Case," the author of the Supreme Jurisdiction the whole truth as to the misuse of these funds on the Supreme Trust funds while you were telling them that you used part of the Supreme Trust funds while you were telling them that you not tell them that upon your order that some 29 or 30 people were charged for $8,734.33 on the Pythian Temple Bath House and Sanitarium Trust certain Supreme Funds, either for their salaries," office rent, and other expenses, loans, and that thousands of dollars of these trust funds used to this estate. "My, you dear sir, know as you have admitted, that these funds were required by taxation for only two purpure Pythian Temple and a Bath House and Santaritum—and were to be used for order and direction, $7,493,743 were misappropriated and wrongly directed to $7,827,438 was paid to you you received and paid to you Chancellor in payment of your 'salary' and "I challenge you to deny the accuracy and correctness of your payment for 24 hours not only to give the number of your voucher which was issued in your favor and upon your order for these vast sums of money.

In 1927 the popular white act was called to Hollywood to do work in the motion picture and while there she was set upon in her home by an intruder and beaten. Doctor Nelson was called to attend her after she recovered, she disappeared. It now transpired that the two persons had fallen in love with each other and had gone to Tia Jamaa where they were married. The Miss Worthing gave up all her former friends and connections and returned to Los Angeles, where Dr. Nelson into the Negro settlement of Los Angeles, where they lived. First news of her whereabouts came five days ago when she fled some relatives and with them instituted suit for divorce. The cause of her murder was a quarrel over another woman. Now that the reconciliation has come about, Mrs. Nelson says that her husband's race makes no difference with her. "I love my husband, and his race or blood makes no difference," she said. "I heard rumors before our marriage that he had Nregro blood. He has shown me that he loves me. We are going back home together." Dr. Nelson is quite as fair as a white man and dresses his hair, wearing a gaiter in a manner to give him comfort.

COLORED SOLON OVERLOOKS ACT OF ALABAMIAN COLORED SOLON OVERLOOKS ACT OF ALABAMIAN Chicago, Ill.—(ANP) Ocurre priestess, congressman from the First Illinois District, is not哭uring because Representative Allogud, an Alabama Democrat, resigned from the enrolled bills committee of the house when DePriest was put up all. It "the enrolled bills committee is an honorary committee, I cannot utter my district on it, and now that the Republican from Chicago has been added to it, I do not desire the name." DePriest replied that it was a good thing for the committee that Allogud was off it and that it would be better for congress if the minority of race-hating, prejudiced and biased Allogud were excluded altogether. So far it has not become known whether Senator Thomas Helfin, Alabama fater cater, has tried to make good on his threat to throw DePriest out of the situate dining room if he is not there any more, when Helfin heard that DePriest had taken a meal in the situate restaurant, he became so insured that he called up the impersonator and asked him to let him know whenever Mr. DePriest should be in again so that he could come in. Since this form of congresspun, Mr. DePriest has not been thrown out, but it is not known whether that is because Mr. Helfin has been afraid to come on over, or Mr. DePriest has been afraid to eat there, or the senator has been kept so busy dodging the district that he has not been told. Once before Helfin used a paint on a gentleman of color and got away with it, but nobody knew whether he still carries the same weapon. DePriest, it seems, is to have his own troubles at home. Speed in he cooperated generally with Negro business men and operated two catholics at different times himself. ing emphasized by a citizen's committee which has been organized in his district, under the guidance of Edward H. Wright, to select a candidate to oppose DePriest in the primaries. Names of several men have been mentioned in the press. A. T. Watkins, attorney, is chairman of the citizen's committee. Brenice Simmons is still quietly pushing his campaign to get in a position where he can make both the South and the South like it. Alhair Lorran R. J. Anderson is asked to lead the campaign of a congressman, although his organization has endured DePriest. There are those who say he would not look unkind upon anyone who might encourage him to make the race and show him how he could do it without a law. It is assumed that the Second Ward leader could defeat DePriest. MECHANIC ARTS STRUCTURE FOR STATE COLLEGE MECHANIC ARTS STRUCTURE FOR STATE COLLEGE Prairie View, Texas — Principal W. R. Banks has recently announced that the heart of directors has made provision for the erection of a new museum for the erection of a new museum. State Normal and Industrial College. The building will be two stories, constructed of brick and cost approximately $10,000. Plans have been drawn and work on the building will begin soon as practical. As soon as the new mechanic arts building is completed, the one now in use will be moved to a new room, making the facilities thoroughly modern and convenient. Plans are contemplated, also, to construct the home formerly used by nurses in a conservatory of music. A new overall factory at Orange will soon be in operation. It will employ about 320 persons.

PAGE THREE SAT'S OANP Representative Allgood of Alhaba won't serve on a committee of the house of representatives because Oscar DePriest, Negro member from Chicago, is on that committee. Too bad that there are not enough Negro congressmen. No committee, so that Allgood would have to stay out of all committees. Why doesn't Allgood resign from membership in the congress, since DePriest is a member of that? Then, too, he might go on and be perfectly consistent and resign from his position in the human race, since DePriest is also a member of that is certainly some shroud Southern "statemanship" and is the only reason why any of us have ever heard of him. Congress has to thank DePriest for the support nobody would ever have heard of Algood. So too of Alabama, got elected a senator because he shot at a Negro on a Washington street car. Now Algood will be seeking a place in the house. A Negro is in the house. What a pitiful life of intellect and self-importance. Oscar Dehrar was sent to congress by a much bigger and more representative from any part of the country, and him and his wife remain more resurgent.

Sunday morning, December 22, our pastor, Rev. W. L. Dickson, greeted us with the sad news that he had resigned the presidency of the New York City of Dice, of the Orphanage at Gilmer. Dr. Dickson is the founder of this institution, and has given over 31 years to this work, and is now turning over to the state over 800 series of black news. He has been able to continue in the work and do justice to his church work. It is not only our opinion, but of many people over the state that Rev. Dickson has done a noble work for his race. God's good people, the Telegists have been pouring in from all over the country, expressing regret over his resignation. Dr. F. M. McConnell, an outstanding white minister, preached a works of 481, 392, 481. Sunday was a banner day with us. The Sunday school seems to have taken on new life.

Washington Golden Legends defeat the Jack Yates Lakers at West End Stadium, winning 12-0. The score was 12-0 and was the most decisive victory won by either team In 1926, the game ended in a 6-12, and 1927 a new repetition of the game, which emerged 8-6 victory, and thus an 12-3 tiltown of the Eagles puts the two schools on even terms. The Eagles lusped out and played outward the Eagles and in the first five minutes of play is touchdown. In receiving the kickoff, McGinnis fumbled the punt and Yates scored touchdown. In receiving the kickoff, McGinnis fumbled the punt and Yates scored touchdown. With a series of pretty plays, Yates registered first three downs and touchdowns downed as toughness imminent. Another fumble in the same quarter gave the Eagles their chance, but again THE HOUSTON INDEPENDENCE Returning to the fray in the second half, the Eagles, who played like they needed both sleep and rest, failed to show in the third quarter, but in the final frame Washington found the weakness of the Yates primary second defense, and kept touchdowns, the last one coming one minute before the pistol shot terminating the fray. Neither team showed much other than the second-style of football, and punting seemed to be the order of the day. In the first half Washing-ton punted, excepting once, and with the star kicker, out of the game, Sanches was unable to gain the drive in the defense deep in their own territory. The attendance at the game did not come up to expectation, many staying away, apparently, because they thought a Washington victory a fore- While it is true that Yates failed to impress in the games with Wheatleys and morale that not the Eagles Wednesday and a new Lion aggregation (in spirit and morale) that not the Eagles Wednesday, we all that any team could desire.

Chicago, Ill.—ANP—What Julius Rosenwald, nationally and internationally known philanthropist, has done during the year closing June 30th, 1929, to help Negroes in the United States to help themselves, is graphically told in the report of the Rosenwald Fund of which Edwin R. Embree is president. This report which was made to the board of trustees of the fund and released to the public Monday morning, shows that the scope of the work of the organization has extended during the past year to institutions including privately operated colleges and universities, and hospitals have been aided. For a number of years the Rosenwald Fund has been chief interest in the development of schools in the rural South but at the present time it is developing a development of hospitals, colleges, trade schools and other agencies working for the general advancement of the group in all sections of the country The report points out that "during year 1922-29 the fund cooperated in building 236 rural elementary and high schools, 36 shops for vocational training, 113 homes for 183 students and in schools already built, 78 additional rooms were constructed. This brings the total of modern schools, shops and teachers' homes aided by the fund to 4,729, located in 518 cities of fourteen Southern states. The same given from the fund for construction of these schools during the war. The same fund contributed to the same schools contributions from Negroes were $366,000; white citizens were $101,113; and public funds $146,166." Through these 4,729 schools, 152,943 employees are employed and 566,700 Negro boys and girls are afforded an opportunity to receive an education. Each year an increase in students and better trained teachers Special emphasis was placed in backward areas, "in July 1, 1928," the report points out, "there were 138 counties in fourteen Southern states which had a Negro population of over five per cent, and in which there were 138 counties in fourteen Southern states in order to stimulate building in those counties the fund has offered to contribute one and one-half times the regular allocation to the first Rosenwald school constructed in any of these counties. As a result of this offer forty such counties completed modern schools during the fiscal year 1928. To help Negro youth attain training in the arts and sciences as well as in vocational schools, the fund, during the past year aided many private and state institutions, thus joining hands with other boards and individuals in helping to equip and manhandle these colleges at an advenience. The state schools also were involved in Alabama, Arkansas and Florida. Private institutions that were included by the fund during the past year were: Lincoln University (Pennsylvania), Howard University, University of Michigan, Bennett College, Marehouse, Morgan, St. Augustines, Talladega and Wiley colleges, and the newly founded Dillard University in New Orleans, La. Realizing that the faculty must be composed of the highest trained individuals, many fellowships have been granted during the past year and to ensure the students of proper references, books, the fund has provided institutions to acquire additional funding. Working upon the well-known fact that "terrens no color line," the fund has done much during the past year to improve its connection, according to the report of President Embreu, appropriations have been made to enable colored public health museums to be appointed in a total of sixteen museums. In the Mississippi and Louisiana museums were made to be housed in Philadelphia; St. Augustines Respiratory Illness and Type of Ventilation In Schools Gentile Cook Can Learn Much From Kosher Chef By DR. ALGERSON R. JACKSON (For the Associated Negro Press) A report of considerable interest relating to respiratory illnesses and type of ventilation in schools has recently been made public by Surgeon General H. S. Cummings of the Public Health Department. Partition is drawn between two groups of schools, one group centilized by mechanical means and the other by the natural open window method. The groups are very nearly equal in size, the mechanically centilized group being ventilated by a natural ventilated group L.S.E. pupils. The two groups are highly comparable in composition, the first having 17.5 per cent of pupils of American origin, the second having 62.5 per cent of pupils; the average age of pupils of the first group is 7.5 years, and the second 8.6 years. The two distribution of pupils is practically the same in both groups of schools. The first group is in the rooms of the schools throughout the course of the study was found to be very nearly the same for both groups, being 62.8 degrees for the mechanically ventilated group and for the naturally ventilated group.

The sum of $300,000 from a comprehensive study to be made by the Tennessee Department of Health of Nigriches health and hospital facilities in that state. A new field entirely was entered when the past proved merely, namely that the present is so seriously provided the capital for the creation of one of the most modern apartment buildings in the city of Chicago, which is now occupied by Negroes. Located in the heart of the city, the building has done much to affore Negroes adequate living quarters under modern condition. "The purpose is to demonstrate that good modern accommodations can be furnished Negroes at prices which they can afford to pay. This can be done with a business return on the capital invested." The report praises the progress which the Negro has made in America and the contribution the race has made to the progress of the country. The officers of the fund are Julius Rosewall, chairman of the board of trustees, Eriwil E. Embree, president; Alfred R. Steen, director; William B. Harrell, secretary and associate director; Michael D. Farris, associate director; Michael D. Davis, director for medical services; Cide D. Front, associate for medical services; S. L. Smith, director for rural schools; G. L. Arthur, associate for Negro schools; D. L. Fermann, associate for studies. By Prudence Gontitus We have often thought that the Gentile clerk could be now much of window and art from the Jewish house, masher. Five thousand years of tradition, the longest unbroken racial heritage in the world, has given to the Jewish cook a rich store of ordinary here. Prepared after a manner rightly prescribed by religious ritual, kosher foods have the advantage of being wholesome, appréciating and above all things clean and pure. The Jewish race had its origin in a hot semi-tropical land, where food spouts quickly and dench and disease follow violation of nature's laws. The religions law which guide the preparation of Jewish foods came into being not only as a rice, but also to protect the health and well being of the nation—and this many centuries before the modern knowledge of sanitation was dreamed of. How well they wrought, those father-nبکم، race, is to be seen today in the large cities of the United States where Gentiles throng the kosher restaurants. These records have gathered from hisler cooks and I am passing them on to the attention more particularly of Gentiles than in the **Guest groups until lunch, and bake** and rest of Ingredients in oven. **Bake** the buns balls about the size of a muffin.

And, lastly, it might well be pointed out that the actual numbers of absences of a duration of three days or more amounted to 359 in the mechanically ventilated group as compared with the group from these studies. From group data it appears reasonable to conclude that the atmospheric conditions produced by the systems of mechanical ventilation in use at the time of the study were associated with higher respiratory illness absence rates. These studies, however, are interpreted as condensing all mechanical systems of air conditioning. COLLEGE HEADS CALLED TO MEET HERE JAN. 1ST Marshall, Texas, Dec. 19, 1929.

TURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1929 that they may be made of it by the conference, which affect all of our institutions, presidents, should take immediate and conclusive action. For instance, the eligibility of college athletes is an issue that will be determined of qualification of students to enter our schools or to participate in activities. The fact bearing on this subject is the case of every prospectus submitted to the hands of conference and college officials in time to allow ample opportunity to act in a singular action, on such irregularities as may be discovered, be investigated and fully stated agreements, and finally held agreed, agreements. Such some procedure will protect our institutions against just public criticism of contests among Negroes are must exist among them if interrogations contests among Negroes are ed in the college opponent to the much in much, inverbered, be forgiving.

SALES DEPT. PRES. 4153 "SAFE AND SANE FUEL" We all will agree that physical culture and real sportsmanship are of major importance in athletics, but it seems that we have allowed these objectives to be subordinated to the less worthy one of "victory at any cost." It is reported that visiting teams are intimidated by outsiders at one of the three preferences, betting in freely indulged in by interested parties at others; and it is probably true that the student bodies of all of our colleges exhibit a very poor brand of sportsmanship during and after contests. Games are frequently delayed by arguments growing largely out of the public. In a protection of officials, Foul play is commonly resorted to by contestants. There is, too, the serious matter of recruiting athletes by offering special inducements, in the unfair practice of producing winning teams. These and other conditions serve to discredit our institutions and to pervert one of the most highly educative agents in the possession of the modern college. I do not mean to say, even by the slightest intimidation, that our presidents have not given this matter serious attention before now, or that they have failed to assume definite responsibility for the improvement of intercollegiate sports and the spirit of good sportsmanship in our institutions, but to make up our legal face the problem with greater vigor and a more determined purpose to actually do something about it.

The reading of God's word (vv 1-3). (1) The eager assembly (v. 1). The people gathered themselves together and requested Ezra to bring the book of the law. God had touched their hearts, creating within them a yearn- ing for His Word. (2) It was a representative assem- bly (v. 2). It was made up of men women and children. God's Word should be taught to all classes, men women and children. (3) An appreciative assembly (v. 3) So eager were they to know God's Word that they did not get tired all though the lesson lasted five or six hours. Their ears were attentive from morning until midday. 2. The attitude of the people toward God's Word (vv. 4.6) (1) They reverenced it (vv. 4. 5) When Ezra opened the law all the people stood up out of respect for God's Word. (2) They joined heartily in the prayer (v. 6) As Ezra led them to prayer, they united in saying, Amen, Amen, bowing their faces to the ground. 3 God's Word being Interpreted (wv. 7. 8). (1) Ezra stood up where the people could see him (v. 5). (2) He read distinctly (v. 8). The manner in which many read the Scriptures greatly disregards them. (3) He caused the people to understand the reading (v. 8). The supreme business of the minister is to make the Word of God plain to all, old and young. 4. Effect of the application of God's Word upon the life of the people (vv. 9-12). (1) Conviction of sin (v. 9). The divine method of convicting men of sin is the application in God's Word in the energy of the Holy Ghost. (2) Weeping turned into joy (vv. 10.12). Forgiveness follows the recognition and confession of sin. (3) Their blessings were, shared with others (vv. 10.12). II. Jerusalem the World's Central Place of Worship (Micah 4:1, 2). 1. Its place of supremacy (v. 1). In the last days, Messiah's kingdom, with Jerusalem as its capital shall prevail over all kingdoms. 2. The peoples, Jews, shall flow until (v. 1). It will be a beautiful sign to see the Jews who have been seized all over the world come to Jerusalem as a mighty flowing stream. 3. The Gentile nations shall there to worship (v. 2). 4. The supreme purpose of the going will be to be taught of God that they may walk in His wail (v. 2). What a wonderful day when peoples of the world shall worm together in God's holy temple! III. The Song of the Worship (Ps. 122:19). This psalm is one of the so- sung by the Jews as they made the pilgrimages to Jerusalem to worm at the great festivals. This song bodies the following great ideas: 1. The joy of the worshipers (1, 2). The invitation to go up to the hot of the Lord to worship stirred wit the delightful emotions. 2. Love and admiration for Go house (vv. 3, 4). We should go to the house of w ship because we love the place. L Jesus, we should regard it as Father's house. 3. It was the seat of royalty (v. When Christ's kingdom shall be tablished in Jerusalem, worship will delight to journey there beca of their love for Him. 4. Prayer for God's house; pray for the peace of Jerusalem (v. 6). It is our duty as well as privy to pray for Israel. God blesses to who are kindly disposed toward chosen people (Gen. 12:1-3). One Way to Help God There is but one way in which can ever help God—that is by to God help him; and there is no in which His name is more taken in vain than by calling abandonment of our own work, performance of His.—Ruskin.

OPINIONS THE BEST MAN IN THE WORLD GRAND CHANCELLOR L. B. KINCHION The subordinate lodges Knights of Pythias, under the Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas, are enjoying a rare treat in that they are recipients of a Christmas greeting from Grand Chancellor L. B. Kinchion which is unique. We have reference to the free dispensation which has been issued to every subordinate lodge Jurisdiction of Texas. The dispensation was accompanied by a circular letter sent out from the office of Grand Chancellor Kinchion expressing a real sympathetic attitude toward unfortunate members of the order who have for one cause or another permitted themselves to become unfinancial and suspended. The dispensation and the letter above referred to, which were mailed to all of the lodges Jurisdiction of Texas, show that the grand chancellor is exerting an extraordinary effort to have those return to the fold who have fallen by the wayside. Both of these documents emanating from the office of Grand Chancellor L. B. Kinchion are an appeal to those who have once been members of the order to join us in our program of constructive progress to substantially build a race by mobilizing our manpower, amassing our funds and creating a sentimemnt of good will toward all men. From the above and foregoing, we are thoroughly convinced that the action of the Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas with respect to the above and foregoing, has gone far afield from the beaten paths of fraternal organizations in the matter of issuing dispensations for the sole purpose of assisting former members of the organization. Passing Parade As "lamped" at the Washington-Yates grid battle at West End Park Christmas Day: Well, from indications (the game has not begun yet) it appears that the crowd will not equal either that of Armistice Day or Thanksgiving Day.

Home for the holidays and watching her alma mater in action, Miss Ruby Lee Bedford, Wiley co-ed. Look who's watching the game, L. L. Lockhart, veteran postoffice carrier, while Ed McCullough, another carrier of long standing, stands by his side. Mrs. Claudia W. Hunter, Washington tutor and Coleridge-Taylor singer, bedecked in school colors and wearing a victory smile. The charming lady accompanying her is her Yuletide guest, Mrs. Thelme M. Johnson of San Antonio. Alvin ("Watty") Watkins, star Bishop back, and Cornelius ("Sunshine") Harris, P. V. stude, looking the stands over and pulling for their alma mater, Washington.

The pistol and the Golden Eagles have won their first game from Yates Lions in four attempts, 12-0. Happy New Year to everybody! not warranted by their ratings given following examinations. This case, however, is not confined to colored appointees. In fact, most of the promotions and appointments have been made for whites and involve several members of the civil service commission. Lieutenant J. H. Scott, of the Police Department, has been implicated but has denied that he paid for his advancement. Whether or not his record warranted his promotion from sergeant to lieutenant has not been stated by the investigators. In all events, there is much interest manifested in the case and there are those who believe that the charges are true and those who express the opinion that the whole affair is a frame-up. The trial is the only answer to the question and that will be settled within the next several weeks. Of course, these possible indictments, added to the long string which the grand juries and the special grand juries have unwound in the last two years, contribute to a large sense of boredom in the minds of the general public. The motive of most of the indictments has been to visit punishment upon politicians, big and little, who were trafficking with the underworld and proving in other ways unfaithful to their trusts, but they have all failed to such an extent that the people have come to believe, either that the prosecutors are too dumb, or the politicians are too smart, for the object sought to be gained. Hence, the statements of politicians that they have nothing to fear is taken to mean either that they are confident of their innocence or of their ability, in one way or another, of establishing their innocence or making their guilt impossible to prove.
