METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE SIMS UNDER BOND. NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION A SUCCESS AT NORFOLK. SIMS PLAGED UNDER $1000. BOND Laid Over to Grand Jury, Sept. 23. Did Not Testify at Trial Largest Crowd Ever Seen Gathered in the McCracken County Ky.. Court James Sims, who is alleged to have murdered his wife Rosa Sims Sept., 1st at the Labor day celebration at Paducah, Ky., and who was suspicioned by the Paducah detectives to have committed the crime was heard in Judge Lang's court last Saturday morning at 10 a.m. The preliminaries lasted fully two hours and a half at which time Sims, was placed under a $1,000 bond and bound over to the Grand Jury, which convenes next week Sept. 23rd, at which time the McCracken County circuit court will be in session. This brought the largest crowd ever seen gathered in the McCracken court. The spacious room was taxed to its utmost capacity, and the halls, etc., were full to overflowing, with people eager to hear and see just what the alleger would say and do. People from Metropolis, Brookport, Joppa, Mayfield, Maxon Mills and nearby towns came to hear the trial. Sims did not testify, as to his guilt or innocence, and did not have one withss to say he did not commit the crime. All evidence proves that he is the guilty party. The coat which he wore to the celebration was found and upon examination was found to have contained briers and beggar lice, etc. The body of Mrs. Sims, was found on the 2nd day of Sept., in a black-berry thicket, and many witnesses testified that he was the last seen with the murdered woman, Prof. D. H. Anderson, President of the West Kentucky Industrial School located in that city, was one of the strongest witnesses who claims to have seen the man and wife standing near the Rowlandtown Church, quarrelling just about dark. Undertakers McCrary, and Carter testified that small bits of leaves and trash was found in the young woman's hair, and only slight bruises about the face was seen. Att'y. Grossland, one of the most noted and popular lawyers of Kentucky has been secured for Sims, and he will leave no stone unturned in the coming trial of the McCracken Ciruit Court. Miss Jewel Long, principal of the Brookport, school spent the week end in the city with parents. Subscribe for The Gazette. Now. DR. BACOTE'S HOME BOMBED. The home of Rev. S. W. Bacote for twenty-four years the popular pastor of Second Baptist Church this city, was dynamited last week by some miscreant who evidently is following out the propaganda of certain interests on the East side who do not want Negroes to live in that section of the city. Dr. Bacote has lived in his home, 2210 Kansas Ave, for more than twelve years and has always been courteously treated and highly respected by the white people of that section He has always counselled the industry courtesy and conservatism on the part of his people, but apparently that counts for nothing with that class of "Rough necks" who delight to sing "All Coons look alike to us." No arrests have been made —The Kansas City Sun. Card of Thanks To the voters of Massac County I take this method to express my sincere thanks to those who gave me their earnest support in the recent election by giving me the nomination as county commissioner.

THE EDITOR RETURNS, The editor, returned from Norfolk, Va, Monday delighted with the trip. He left Norfolk, Saturday evening at 8:45 and arrived home Monday afternoon without accident. He was also delighted to know that he escaped the city hold-up me, robbers, pick pockets and confidence while in the cities, but while in Cicinnati, waiting for the National Baptist Special train to arrive two sharpers attempted to play the confidence game on him but by the assistance of the police and two colored men he was able within one hours time to make the arrest of one of them, have his trial, land in jail with $100.00 and cost assessed against him and run the other thief out of the city, but if he returns he is to meet a similar fine. The police and detectives were glad to get hold of this guy as they had just defrauded an old colored wofrom the South out of $93.00 and men out of different amounts. It was the lost pocket book game they tried to pull off on the editor On entering the cities avoid the large crowds and taking up time with strangers. Several delegates lost money while in Norfolk, by pick-pockets. It is said to have more thieves than any city of the South. Some of the delegates lost from all the way from an empty pocket book with a little sand in it gathered on the ocean to $50.00 while in there Dr. W. P. Washington lost $10.

Mob Hunts Woman's Assailant Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 10 — Posses of citizens are searching for a white man who last night tied and gagged and attacked a young married woman here. Traveling in an automobile, the man stopped at the woman's house and asked her te prepare some food for him. When she refused to partake of it with him the attack followed. Two Burned at Stake in Florida Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 8. Two Negroes charged with murder were taken from the city jail here shortly after midnight and lynched. A mob of 30 men stormed the jail in search of a Negro who was being held for assaulting a little white girl, but who had been sent to St. Augustine by court officers early last night, following threats of violence. Finding their intended victim gone, the crowd seized two Negroes charged with the murder recently of George Dubose a white man, took them to the outskirts of the city in automobiles and shot them to death. They then placed ropes about the necks of the bodies and dragged them through the city streets. One body was dropped in front of a leading hotel. The other has not been found but he wants to be liberal and believe he dropped it while making change, as he hates to own that he was stupid enough to be held up in broad day light. Well it was a delightful trip and all are wiser for having gone. Elders C. W. Norment, C. C. Phillips, W. P. Washington, W. H. Carter, J. B.

Jones Re-elected Twenty Thousand Dollars Raised For Theological Seminary At Nashville, Tenn, Prof. Kelley Miller, Given A Big Ovation at Armory Hall. The National Baptist Convention (unincorporated) which convened in 2nd Calvary Baptist Church, Norfolk, Va., Tuesday morning Sept. 10, was called to order by President Dr. E. P. Jones, at 10 o'clock, with several hundred preachers and lay delegates present from every state of the Union and many cities, who came with the spirit of Christ and a determination to exceed all former meetings spiritually and financially. All agreed that the convention had grown by leaps and bounds since the Chicago meeting and the leaders themselves were surprised at the hundreds of new recruits from every state. President Jones' address was a master-piece and was eagerly sought by delegates and laymen. The reports from all the Boards showed that the secretaries and chairman were men of business and were entitled to re-election. President Jones was re-elected without any opposition. The Woman's Convention met in the Butte, St., Baptist Church, where they had an exceptionally large delegation and a successful meeting. Mrs Georgia DeBaptiste A-burn, was re-elected. Four Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars cash was placed on the table and with the pledges made to be paid in November brought the total amount up to $20,000 for the National Theological Seminary at Na-hville, Tennessee. The negro Baptists will own a National School bought and paid for by their own money. There was great rejoicing when it was announced that money was in sight to meet all financial obligations. Prof. Kelley Miller, Dean of Howard University, Washington, D. C., one of the greatest thinkers and writers of the Race, was given a great ovation at the Armory Hall. The building proved to be too small for the people who clamored for admission, several hundred being turned away. We left on Saturday before the full financial report was made and the place for the next meeting was decided on, though Nashville and Chicago, were asking for it. Illinois registered $1,000 for educational money for next year. Miss Naomi L. Alston, was a Paducah visitor Wednesday. Miss Viola Blackwell, is visiting her parents in Belgrade this week.

Education METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL TEACH LOYALTY TO FOREIGNERS TEACH LOYALTY TO FOREIGNERS FORD ENGLISH SCHOOLS INCUL CATE PRINCIPLES OF PURE AMERICANISM IN STUDENTS. TRIAL DRAWING TO A CLOSE Attorneys Begin Final Arguments After Ford Counsel Presents Dramatic Testimony On Educational Work. Mt. Clemens, Mich.—Henry Ford's counsel kept until the final day on which testimony was presented, the strongest arguments in their possession. Not until the trial was within a few hours of its close did they bring to the witness stand Clinton C. DeWitt, superintendent of the Ford English school. "Mr. Ford," said the witness, "was of the opinion that you could not successfully put over one idea while there were 52 languages spoken in the factory, so to promote that one idea, which was and is Americanism, he insisted that every workman must learn to speak the 'American'—not the English—language. "There were 3,000 students in the school before the United States entered the war and the factory was practically turned over to government work." Sample lessons were read by the witness. Parts are given as follows: "Every good American loves and respects the United States Flag. "Our flag stands for liberty, justice and peace. "Its colors are red, white and blue. "The red stands for love, the white stands for purity, the blue stands for truth." "American flags," said the witness, "were used profusely in the school room and a silk flag always flutters before an electric fan. Teach Americanism. The men are taught that there is no greater title than "American citizen" and are urged to accept the advantages of education offered by this country so that they may fit themselves, through knowledge, to defend their liberties. Pictures of great Americans adorn the glass rooms, special exercises are held on the birthday of great leaders of the nation and finally, when the glass graduates, it is presented with souvenir American flags and is given membership in what is known as the "American Club." The Federal and state courts recognise a diploma from the Ford English school as an evidence of adequate preparation for citizenship, it was shown. Through this testimony counsel sought to bring out that the man who taught 3,000 foreigners to love their adopted country and to respect its flag could scarcely be called an anarchist and that a man who sought every possible method to instill love for the Stars and Stripes in the hearts of those who come to it from foreign shores, could never have made the slanderous statements attributed to him by Tribune counsel. Mr. Ford, it was shown, loaned all his educational workers to the government at the time war broke out. The war department found the methods used in the Ford English school so valuable that they introduced them in all training camps. Henry Ford paid the salaries of the men he loaned to the government for the work. Closing arguments Open. Closing arguments in the case opened the last of the week. Attorney Wm. Lucking led off for Ford counsel. He called attention first to the testimony which showed that The Tribune, hot for intervention in Mexico because it thought such action would lead to conquest or at least to great riches for the United States, had found Henry Ford blocking its path just when its long campaign gave promise of bearing fruit. Theroupon, said the attorney, The Tribune set out to destroy Mr. Ford's influence, to sweep him out of its path and to still his voice which pleaded for a course which would help the bleeding republic to the south to regain her feet and to strike forth on a new highroad of education and freedom. Attorney Weymouth Kirkland opened for The Tribune. He declared that what Mr. Ford had done since 1910—when The Tribune called him an anarchist—had nothing whatever to do with the situation as it was when the newspaper stigmatized the manufacturer as an enemy of his country. He did not deny that Mr. Ford had done an immense and valuable work for the government during the war but he claimed that this did not alter the facts as they were before war broke out. Mr. Ford, the attorney insisted, was an anarchist at the time. The Tribune described him as such, and the truth he said was sufficient justification for the attack. Water and the Human Body. The specific gravity of water and the human body is virtually the same. A body in the water is supported by equal pressure at all points. It is more likely to be at ease than under other circumstances. It is, therefore, more likely that it may move with out pain. So cripples are often given their exercise in the water. WORLD JEWRY AT GREATEST CRISIS Leaders in America Striving to Save Race in Europe From Destruction. MUST SEND AID QUICKLY. Children Are the Most Pitiful Sufferers From the Cataclysm That Has Ruined a Once Prosperous The Jews in almost every country of the world except America are in a state more dire and terrible, perhaps, than any in which they have found themselves since the fall of Jerusalem. Briefly, the Jewish race in much of Europe is on the verge of annihilation. The countries in which the plight of the Jews is the worst are Poland, Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia, Rumania, Serbia, Gallicia, Palestine, Turkey, Greece and Siberia. In Vilna, a typical town of Poland, the Jewish population has been cut down by starvation, typhus and other diseases in the last five years from 90,000 to 45,000. Nearly half of the survivors are dependent upon relief supplies sent by their co-religionists in America. Warsaw, Kovno, Constanza, and many other cities throughout Central and Eastern Europe tell the same tale. American Jews, aroused by the reports that first filtered through after the signing of the armistice, immediately organized under the American Jewish Relief Committee, of 15 East 40th Street, New York City, to save their race abroad. They sent some 20 commissioners to various foreign countries to investigate the truth of these reports. Almost all these commissioners have now returned and the first-hand information that they have brought back is more alarming than the early unsubstantiated reports. Such men as Nathan Straus, Henry Morgenthau, Julius Rosenwald, Jacob H. Schiff, Felix M. Warburg, and many other prominent members of this committee are now bending every effort to arouse America to the great need abroad and rush the food and supplies across the ocean which, if sent quickly, will save the Jewish race from destruction. Saddest of the victims of all this woe are the children. Tens of thousands of pitiful youngsters who are seven or eight years old have gone so long undernourished that they are little further developed than normal infants of one or two years. In the Polish cities orphaned children wander about the streets, homeless and unable to get into the orphanages. These are already overcrowded and depend primarily upon American relief funds to keep them going. JEWISH RELIEF WORK IS NOW WORLDWIDE Christian as Well as Jewish Sufferers Are Aided by Organization That Covers Many Countries in Europe and the Orient. Quietly, and practically without publicity of any sort, the Jews of America have built up, through the American Jewish Relief Committee and other official agencies, a machine for the organization and distribution of relief to war sufferers of their own and other races that is now practically worldwide. The headquarters of the Committee are at 15 East 40th Street, New York. Expenditures for this work now aggregate more than $2,000,000 a month, and by means of state-by-state campaigns to be held this fall a total of $35,000,000 is to be sought to finance the work through the coming months. An enumeration of the countries in which relief efforts are being made is indicative of the scope of the work. Representatives of these Jewish agencies are to be found in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia, Gallica, Serbia, Rumania, and other Balkan states, Greece, Turkey, Palestine and Siberia. Small groups of refugees, cast up by the backwash of war, are being assisted in Holland, Japan, China and other isolated parts of the globe. All told, many million Christians and more than 6,000,000 Jews in countries other than the United States are being directly aided, by American Jewish relief, funds. The major portion of this humanitarian work is of course carried on in Eastern Europe. It is there that the bulk of the world's Jewish population lives. The fact that these same nations have been perhaps hardest hit by the late war, explains why World Jewry is at the greatest crisis in its history. But though the Jews of America have set out to save their race from destruction, they are not forgetting that their own people are not the only sufferers in these lands. The significance of the whole undertaking becomes apparent when it is known that the relief supplies which have been purchased and shipped largely with Jewish funds are distributed without discrimination to Christians as well as Jews. Barriers of race and creed have been submerged in the flood tide of suffering throughout much of the earth, and the efforts of American Jewry to aid in the great crisis of today have become as broad as humanity itself.
