Iowa State Bystander

THE BYSTANDER State Capitol DR. A.E. LILES TAKES CHARGE OF UNION CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH Boost Pay and read The Bystander XXVI No. 43 DR. A.E. LILES CHARGE OR GREGATIONA Rev. Liles comes to Des Moines from Washington, D. C. where he was a successful pastor for the past ten years. Born to North Carolina a graduate of the temple university of Philadelphia receiving the degree of P. H. B. in 1916. In 1918 he graduated from the Harvard university, Washington D. C. with the degree of B. D. He comes to Des Moines well recommended by the faculty and friends of Howard university and of very rare standing. Rev. Lyles comes to Des Moines for the express purpose and pure motive to be the servant of the people of Des Moines regardless of sex, creed, or color His ministry is a minis- DREW TO RUN IN PENN Co-Holder of World's Title After Third Victory. Although Drake university needs all of the points that Howard Drew might be able to score in the Iowa-Drake dual at Iowa City May 1 the athletic authorities have decided to send him to the Pennsylvania relays, which will be held on the same date. In 1914 Drew represented the University of Southern California at the Pennsylvania games and won first in the century dash and the broad jump. He ran the short dash that year in the finals in 10 1-5 after taking the preliminaries in ten seconds flat. He made a mark of 22 feet in the broad jump. The next year at the relays, representing the same school, Drew ran the preliminaries, semifinals and the finals in ten seconds flat. This was in itself some accomplishment. Drew's athletic days have been spread over a long period of time. In 1912 he ran in the Olympic games, winning the first place in the semi-finals at Stockholm, but by so doing he pulled a tendon and was unable to take his place at the starting line the next day. Equals World's Record The Stockholm games were held in 1912, or over eight years ago. Drew was then running for the Springfield high school. Two years later he was in his prime when he ran the century dash in 09 3-5 at Berkeley, Cal, which is the world's record. D. J. Kelley, a co-holder of this record, made in 1906 died last week. Whether Drew can win the 100-yards at the Penn games this year is a question. He is now close to thirty years old, and has suffered many physical disabilities. But he is to have his opportunity to try and equal A. F. Duffy's performance. (A. A. Bush.) Mr. and Mrs. Carl Culberson entertained the members of the Iowa social club and the Twentieth century club at their home on Friday evening April 9 in honor of their third marriage anniversary. They were the recipients of tokens of esteem by their friends who wished them many happy returns. Two course supper was served and an enjoyable evening was spent by all. Mrs. Anna Allen widow of Wm. Allen a Civil war veteran passed away Thursday April 8 at 2:15 p.m. The deceased was born in Clarksville, Tenn. and was married to Mr. Allen forty-four years ago.

Her funeral was held on Saturday afternoon from her late home, 116 Third avenue. Rev. W. W. Russell, pastor of the Second Baptist church assisted by Rev. R. Thomas, pastor of Bethel, A. M. E. church. The Misses Genevieve Bush, Isabelle Thompson, and Master A. Rogers Bush were over Sunday visitors at Iowa City guests of Curtis C. Bush and other Clinton boys at the Iowa university. The Easter program rendered by the members of Bethel A. M. E. Sunday school was a very interesting one. A large number were in attendance, all speak highly of the entertainment. Messrs.

A large and appreciative audience greeted the Twentieth Century band in the concert given by them on Monday evening March 29 at Bethel A. M. E. church. The boys are playing good music.

He will take up the work of Union Congregational church the week of April 25 and of a certain Sunday April 25. Those who have already heard Rev. Liles are fully impressed with his forceful sermons and are enthusiastic in the belief that he will be a great asset to the community to which he comes. rooms added much to the beauty of the decorations. The evening was spent in games and dancing and at the closing hour booklets were distributed which were in the shape of a triangle, representing the Greek letter, Delta and inside were the names of the members of Delta Sigma Theta. The out-of-town guests were the Misses Genevieve Bush, Isabell Thompson and Master Roger Bush of Clinton, Iowa, Mesdames Arthur Jackson, C. Mack and Dr. Wm. H. Beshears of Cedar Rapids.

DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, APRIL 16 1920. Chicago and Illinois Negroes Oppose Lowden for Wood BOSTON STREET RAIL WAY REFUSE COL'D MEN FOR MOTORMEN AND CODUCTORS 10 St. BRANCH Y.W.C.A. Presents A Chicago, Ill.—In a recent speech, Gen. Leonard Wood said, "The farmers constitute a full third of our population and the welfare of the nation is practically bound up with theirs. Yet the benefits of modern civilization have not been extended to our rural communities in any such measure as they have a right to demand. Education for farm children should be universally accessible. Chicago, Ill.—There has been a drift into Wood headquarters in Chicago, a steady stream of reports showing that the general is going to get a lot more votes in this state at the April 13 presidential preference primary than some of the wise politicians were willing to grant when he entered the Illinois race. Wood's entry in Illinois was greeted BOSTON STREET WAY REFUS FOR MOTO CODUCT Boston, Mass.—M. W. Bullock of Boston charges that the trustees of the Boston E7levated refuse to employ Negroes as conductors and motormen because of their color. He asked the 10 St. BRANC Helen Ricks READ and IMPERSO Date Place St. P Admission - - Children under Fifteen by Lowden's manager with a lot of scorn. They grinned sarcastically and seemed to think it a huge joke that anybody should think he could come into Illinois and make them the least trouble. They laughed when republican congressmen and one or two democrats replied to N. W. MacChesney, chairman of the Illinois campaign for Wood, saying Illinois was solidly for Wood. But since the arrival in the city of several down state visitors, some friendly assurance has disappeared and the governor's friends have set to work to nail some planks on his political fences right here in his own home state. They won't admit any such thing at his headquarters in Chicago, or in Springfield, but from reliable sources come reports of their sudden activity which are known to be correct. legislature committee on labor to report a bill that would oblige managers of street railway companies to extend "equal opportunity" for employment to all citizens. CH Y.W.C.A. NEGRO CAPITALIST MAKE BID ON FAMOUS ASTOR ESTATE ATTORNEY JAMES B. MORRIS Wishes to announce that in connection with his law and real estate business, he is also writing all kinds of fire insurance, and is able to furnish his many friends with the best protection obtainable at a particularly low rate. Insure your house and furniture to-day. H. H. PACE AND HANDY IN- On March 11, the Henry Astor estate embracing over 100 houses and stores in the Times Square section of New York was sold at auction under court sanction to close up the administration. This property once a farm had long since been occupied by typical city structures, both in business and residence. Much of this is occupied by theatres and business enterprises associated with the theatre. Such as was not so occupied along Broadway, Forty fifth or forty-sixth street very naturally was desired by the fast expanding Broadway interests. This sale held in the beautiful and famous ball-room of the hotel Astor, goes into the world's history as the greatest auction of the age, measured by any standard—the value of the property sold, the wealth represented, the number present, the historic interest of the scene of the sale. \* It is not surprising then that the auctioneer should have commemorated the occasion by having a large group photograph taken during the sale. This picture discloses that among them, Morges Henry, who race as represente by Morges Henry, C. COLORED MEN ON G. O. P. PLATFORM WANT New York, March 26.—The five colored members of the Republican party's Committee on Platform and Policy, recently appointed by Will H. Hays, chairman of the National committee, desire to hear statements from colored people throughout the country as to what the Negroes in the United States expect and demand from the Republican party. Each interested person is requested to write at once to any one of the five members stating, as briefly as possible his views as to those things which the colored voters of the United States wish presented to the Republican party for incorporation in the platform and adoption in the policies of the Republican party. The members of the committee are: Robert B. Church, 391 Beale Aye., Memphis, Tenn.; Dr. Sumner N. Furniss, 132 W. New York street., Indianapolis, Ind., James Weldon Johnson, 70 Fifth ave, New York City; William H. Lewis, Old South Bldg., Boston, Mass.; Roscoe Conkling Simmons, 3150 State street, Chicago, Ill. FREED'K DOUGLASS FOR New York—Nominations received for the Hall of Fame at New York university, to which fourteen names will be added this fall, include Barbara Friedchie, heirine of Whittier's poem; Susan B. Anthony, pioneer worker for women rights, and Frederick Douglass, Negro publicist, statesman and journalist. The nominations, which close May 1, will be considered by the senate of the university and the names approved by the senate will be submitted to the board of electors. Douglass is the first Negro suggested to have his name made immortal by being inscribed in the colonade at the university. The name of Barbara Friedchie was urged by many women's patriotic organizations. BRAITHWAITE, EMINENT CRITIC, NAMED FOR HALL OF FAME New York, N. Y., April 8—The April number of Vanity Fair has nominated William Stanley Braithwaite, the Boston critic and poet, for a place in the American hall of Fame. The recommendation is accompanied with a fine portrait of Mr. Braithwaite. $150,000, HALF $20,000 FIFTY YEARS AGO. Kansas City, Mo., March 30.—William Price, 81, former Virginia slave, died here Tuesday, leaving a fortune estimated at $150,000. His total capital was $2 when he came to Wyandotte county fifty years ago. For Constipation Mr. L. H. Farnham, a prominent drugist of Spirit Lake, Iowa, says: "Chamberlain's Tablets are certainly the best thing on the market for constipation." Give these tablets a trial. You are certain to find them agreeable and pleasant in effect. Price 25 cents. The Best advertising medium to reach colored people in the west Price Five Cents Handy, the successful music publishers. When interviewed, Mr. Pace acknowledged that their firm had attended the sale with the intention of purchasing a permanent home for the "House of the Blues" now much cramped in their leased quarters in the Gaiety theatre building on Broadway. "While we were prepared to pay a price a little in excess of the value prevailing in this district," Mr. Pace continued, "we were not in a position to compete with the two rival theatrical syndicates who established new and greatly enhanced values for this property in order to obtain theatre sites." Mr. Pace is hopeful, however, of soon obtaining title to property in the district that will suit their purposes for years o come. This is probably the most substantial evidence of the success of the big race publishers and is of added interest, because it was disclosed by white real estate operators and the fact that the news was out, surprised these gentlemen greatly. Judging from the popularity of two of their numbers, "The Yellow Dog Blues" and "Think of me Little Daddy" if that sale had been a few days later Broadway would have had a surprise.

The ladies THE BYSTANDFR State Are the long Disc classes of long distance t he known as "STATION- PERSON" service. A station service should be used to anyone at the distance service is intended for a particular person or persons. A station service is not only ch object to error than pers phone is answered, whi particular person wanted n telephone. A station-to-station call can be charged to the tele phone operator would ha approve the charge which call. IN-TO STATION CALLS On calls, no doubt, can al our business or social call your use of this lower-pr your call, you will an office or home of the per it it is possible that Mr. give you the information will meet your needs. Jones will be at home a call could be made adva making previous arranges near the telephone at t If Mrs. Jones calls her should be arranged between specified time so that the could be sent to the da will be made. Station-to-Station Calls Are the Cheapest and Quickest Long Distance Telephone Service Two principal classes of long distance telephone service are in use. They are known as "STATION-TO-STATION" and "PERSON-TO-PERSON" service. Station-to-station service should be used when you are willing to talk to anyone at the distant telephone called. Person-to-person service is intended for use when you wish to talk to a particular person or persons. Station-to-station service is not only cheaper but it is more rapid and less subject to error than person-to-person service. On station-to-station service the call can be completed as soon as the distant telephone is answered, while on person-to-person service the particular person wanted must be located and summoned to the telephone. The charge for a station-to-station call can not be reversed; that is it can not be charged to the telephone called, for in that case the telephone operator would have to locate a particular party to approve the charge which would make it a person-to-person call. HOW STATION-TO STATION CALLS SAVE MON'Y Station-to-station calls, no doubt, can always be used for a large part of your business or social calls, but you may be able to make greater use of this lower-priced service if, just before you place your call, you will analyze the probable conditions in the office or home of the person wanted. For example, if it is possible that Mr. Brown may be out but his clerk can give you the information you want, a station-to-station call will meet your needs. Or if you are reasonably sure Mr. Jones will be at home at a certain hour, a station-to-station call could be made advantageously. Then too, by making previous arrangements, the person you want could be near the telephone at the time you put in your call. For example, if Mrs. Jones calls her daughter regularly once a week, it could be arranged between them that the call will be made at a specified time so that the daughter can be near the telephone to receive the call. If it is an occasional call, a postal card could be sent to the daughter telling her what time the call will be made. HOW TO MAKE A CALL When making a STATION say, for example, "I want to to George Smith's store at known, the street address and If you want to use PER would say, for example, "I will call to John Smith at George state and, if known, the streetber).

If you want to use PERSON-TO-PERSON service you would say, for example, "I want to make a Person-to-Person call to John Smith at George Smith's store at (give town and state and, if known, the street address and telephone number).

Easter Sunday was a glorious day for the citizens of Davenport, the first thing notable during the day for the citizens of Davenport, the first thing notable during the day was the vesper services held at the Y. W. C. A. at 6:30 a. m. The Y. W. Glee club sang several Easter anthems, after which short talks were given by several of the Y. W. C. A. leaders. About 7:15 the Vesper services let out. And then a few of the older girls entertained a number of young men to breakfast at 8:30 a. m. The young men claimed the Y. girls were some entertainers, and their cooking was some thing worth while speaking about although the fellows did furnish it. But it was an affair to be remembered long by those who partook of the same. The next event was the sermon preached by the Rev. Dr. S. B. Moore of the Bethel A. M. E. church. It seemed that the pastor, Rev. Moore was certainly in accord with the Easter tide for everyone was well pleased with the sermon. The church was decorated in the usual manner for Davenport, with palms and flowers and Easter colors strung here and there. The last event of the day was the program rendered by the students of the Sunday school, which drew quite a crowd, to the services.
