METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE MAYOR SMITH INJURED. DETROIT MICHIGAN, ADDS 30,000 NEGROES TO POPULAGE. HALF MILLION DOLLAR PROPERTY DAMAGE Omaha, Neb. Sept. 29.-Two persons were killed, a score or more injured and property damaged to the extent of $250,000 as the result of a lynching last night. William Brown, a Colored man, was lynched for an alleged attack upon a white woman. In the effort to take him from the authorities, the mob set fire to the court house and the building was practically destroyed. The mob threw a rope around the neck of Mayor Edward P. Smith and attempted to hang him for trying to stop the outrage. His life was saved by a policeman who cut the rope, but not before the mayor had become unconscious. He was taken to the hospital in a critical condition. The maddened throng secured its victim, hung him to a lamp post riddled his body with hundreds of bullets and then dragged the remains through the streets. One white man with killed and many injured by promiscuous discharging of fire arms. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 1. -With the presence of General Leonard Wood hundreds of regular army soldiers in the city from nearby camps and forts, with hundreds of members of the American Legion sworn in as special deputy. Omaha is: gain quiet, alter its most distressing and disgraceful experience Race feeling reached the breaking point by the insidious propaganda of flaming headlines reporting alleged or attempted assaults of Negroes on white women. Since June first, there have been twenty-one "alleged assaults," and "attempted assaults," reported in newspapers. These allegations have practically all come from the southwestern part of the city where very few Colored people live, and many of them are regarded with utmost suspicion by conservative people. It is true that some of the accusations in this period have been directed against whites. One ignorant Colored man under dress "confessed" and was sentenced to the peatentiary. The actual guilt of William Brown, the Negro who was lynchod Sunday, was not proven, and the better element of both Races believe that the law should have been allowed to take its course. Mayor Edward P. Smith, Democrat in politics, has received hundreds of letters and telegrams of sympathy and praise for his valiant stand against the determination of the mob, which was composed for the most part of mere boys and hoodlums. During his term of office, Mayor Smith has shown an unfettered determination to be fair to all people. Scores of Colored returned soldiers have been sworn in as deputy sheriffs, and are doing their part in preserving order. There is much OCT151918 ETROPO 1.

Leading business men have urged all citizens to turn in their arms to the authorities, and the military authorities have issued a procalmation stating that all citizens, regardless of color, will be protected if it takes all armed forces of the section to do so. Leaders have counseled the people to remain indoors until order is restored. Prosecutions are expected to follow swiftly. Dr. Jno. Bruin, Writes Mt Vernon, Oct. 5, 1949 Rev. J. B. McCrary, D. D.

BAPTISTS SELECT COLUMBUS FOR NEXT CONVENTION Norfolk, Va. (Reciprocal News Service.)—Twenty-five thousand dollars will be raised for education and missions among the Negro Baptists of the United States, according to a decision reached in the National Baptist Convention in session in this city Sept. 10-15th. When the curtain was lowered on this the thirty-ninth session, everyone declared that it surpassed any in the recollection of the oldest attendents. There were present some men who had visited every session of the convention since it was organized thirty-nine years ago by the amalgamation or the federation of three national bodies known as the old American Convention, the Educational Convention and the Foreign Mission Convention. This long step in the right direction, as has been put by some of the foremost workers, is calculated to relieve the embarrassment that has confronted their denomination financially. The campaign is to be worked out so systematically that it will be a veritable per capita taxation, the unit and community system is to be in vogue. Every Board connected with the Convention is said to have made improvement over its previous year's work. The stupendous figures presented to the Convention by them brought forth constant applause.

A Big Baptizing. The recent revival conducted at the Providence Baptist Church, Belgrade, by the pastor, Rev. Edgar McCrary, resulted in four converts and four candidates to baptism. The church has been revived and the members are alive spiritually and the church is being represented in the association that meets in Colp this week. The 2nd Sunday in October, is baptizing day. The pastor and church extends an invitation to the churches in the neighboring towns to be present and help us make this a great day, spiritually and financially. to take the 1920 session of the Convention to Columbus, O, was one of surprises, as it had been thought that Nashville would walk away with the next meeting. FOUR COLORED MEN ARE LYNCHED IN ALABAMA. Montgomery, Ala , Sept. 30 John Temple, Negro, who last night shot and fatally wounded Policeman John Barbare and who was wounded by the officer, was shot to death in a hospital early today by a small band of white men. He was the third Negro to die by lynch law within a period of hours, Miles Phifer, and Robe t Crosky, the latter a discharged soldier, having been shot to death by a mob five miles from the city ye-terday afternoon. Still another negro, Bird Astor, who was with Temple when Barbare was shot, was being sought by a posse and it was believed his capture would result in more mob violence. A fourth Negro, Ben Miller, a former soldier, was shot and wounded early today on a down-town street. He reported four white men had attempted to get into an automobile, and he was shot when he refused to go with them. Centralia, Ill. We beg leave to report two excellent sermons delivered by Revs. W. H. Carter, and R. S. Anderson, Sunday. Rev. Anderson, was elected one of the district missionaries. He is a worthy minister of whom we are very proud. We report with regret the further delay in the laying of our Corner Stone of our new edifice. The delay was caused by a steady down-pour of rain. The same has been posponed until the 4th Sunday in this month. Visitors were present from far and near cities to witness the affair, but as delay was unavoidable they were well contented and rejoiced in the services. We remain yours in Christ. Big Corn Crop. Platt, County, which lies next to and directly west of Champaign County, in the heart of the Illinois corn belt, has a big crop of corn ready for husking. The crop will be around 5,000,000 bushels, at least half of which will be husked by men coming from Southern Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. It will take around 1500 men from outside of the county to handle this crop. The price to be paid corn huskers this year is 6c per bushel and board. This means that these men will take back with them around $150,000.00. Men will find plenty of work in the vicinity of the following towns: Bement, Cerro Gordo, Gisco, Mansfield, Monticello, Hammond or Atwood. Husking will be started about 20th. A. E. Bnrwash, Farm Advister. DETROIT ADDS 30,000 NEGROES TO POPULA Banker Tells How Colore Take Their Place in Industries There. H. P. Borgman, vice president of the people's State Bank of Detroit, Mich, is telling others in attendance at the annual convention of the American Banker's Association how the negro is taking his place in the industries in Detroit. "Since the war," says Borgman "Detroit has added 30,000 negro population. We have started a big amount of new building and the negroes are working as bricklayers, carpenters and masons and are taking their place in the industries where they are making from $3 to $6 per day. Our housing conditions for labor in Detroit have been bad, but from now on we will see a steady improvement. "That Detroit is becoming a cosmopolitan city is evidenced by the fact that our bank has made a $150,000 loan for the purpose of building a chinese hotel for chinese. Our Chinese colony is arranging for direct foreign trade between Detroit and China."

American Jews Raising $35,000,000 to Save Survivors—Plan to Aid Chris- tians as Well as Own People. "The tragedy of the next few months in Eastern Europe bids fair to equal, if not to surpass, that of the actual war years themselves. Words are utterly inadequate to describe the suffering from poverty, starvation, disease and other allied causes that is met on every hand. Literally hundreds of thousands of the unfortunate victims of circumstances are looking to America as their only hope, but it is a question if America has not heard so much of suffering in recent months that she is numbed and perhaps cannot fully realize the terrible crisis that now confronts vast numbers of people abroad." The above gives in brief the carefully considered opinion of no less an authority than Dr. Halm I. Davis, well known neurologist of Chicago, who returned a short time ago from Poland, where he served for some months as American Red Cross commissioner and made an intensive study of economic, social and political conditions with a special view to determining America's present and future responsibilities. At the request of Louis Marshall, Felix M. Warburg, Jacob H. Schiff of New York, Julius Rosenwald of Chicago and other prominent members of the American Jewish Relief Committee, Dr. Davis submitted a special summary of conditions in Poland. This report, together with additional information secured from other commissioners abroad, forms the basis for the appeal which the above committee is making for $35,000,000 this year to save the lives of war's victims in those countries where the situation is most dire. The headquarters are at 15 East 40th Street, New York. "If America could be given but a glimpse of the childhood of Poland," says Dr. Davis, "the millions of dollars that are needed would be forthcoming instantly. The common lot of literally thousands of these youngsters, both Christian and Jewish, makes strong men weep and has actually been the cause of a number of investigators for various organizations leaving the country before their work was completed. "Walk down the streets in certain sections of Warsaw, Vilna, Kovno and other cities in Eastern Europe and you will see mother after mother, themselves emaciated, carrying children who are apparently infants of a few months, but in reality are five to eight years old. For years they had no milk, and all the other food procurable has been sufficient only to keep them alive. Undernourishment has been so long continued that the little bodies are stunted, rickets being a common affliction, and many of them can never be restored to normal health and strength. "The lives of thousands can still be saved, however," the doctor told the Jewish Committee in his report, "if food is rushed over quickly. "It is in the name of the pitiful children of Poland, the babies of Christian as well as Jewish parents, that I urge you to make your appeal to America for the funds that will restore their birthright to these little ones." RABBIS BLESS MEAT AS STEAMSHIP LOADS First Kosher Meat in Five Years Goes to European Jews as Gift. New York.-Included in the more than $8,000,000 worth of supplies sent abroad by American Jewish relief agencies thus far this year were several hundred tons of "kosher" meat. The steamer Ashburn, which left here some time ago for Danzig, carried 500 tons of this commodity, while the Hunchuca, which has just sailed, is carrying a smaller consignment to Constanza, Rumania. Unusual interest attaches to both these shipments. Prominent Jews of this city inspected the first cargo, Jewish rabbis blessed the barrels of meat as they were lowered into the ship's hold. The meat was a gift from the Jews of America to their co-religionists in Poland and other parts of Europe. These European Jews have eaten virtually no meat in five years, for their religion prohibits them using meat other than that killed by a rabbi and in an orthodox manner, and "kosher" meat has been unobtainable. Among the other supplies sent in these regular shipments are soap, clothing, shoes and shoe-repairing materials, large quantities of notions, medicines, hospital supplies and a long list of additional articles, every one of which is lacking in the war-wrecked countries across the Atlantic. Funds to continue these regular sailings of relief ships are now being sought by the American Jewish Relief Committee, whose headquarters are at 15 East 40th Street, this city. Louis Marshall is chairman and Henry H. Rosenfeit director of this organization. Campaigns are scheduled for this fall in some twenty states, and it is expected to bring the total contributions for Jewish relief this year up to $85,000,000. Cession of Instrument in Honor of "Mormon" Battalion. Illinois Sculptor, Penniless Few Years Ago, Leaps To Fame Illinois Sculptor, Penniless Few Years Ago, Leaps To Fame IVE years ago Gilbert T. Riswold did janitor work at the Chicago Art Institute, from the receipts of which he paid for lessons in sculpture. Today the name of Riswold is one to conjure with in art circles, and some critics refer to him as an "artistic whirlwind." Over seventy-five of the world's greatest sculptors he won out in receiving the contract for the Stephen A. Douglas monument in Springfield, Illinois. A recent statue of Miss Anna Fitzhuir as she appeared in the role of "Isabeau" in the opera of that M. Gilbert T. Riassold, Sculptor. name, caused his fame to be heralded from coast to coast. But a work which will, no doubt, permit full sway to every talent he possesses and for which he has received first prize in a nation wide competition is the quarter of a million dollar monument to be placed on the Coation of Monument in Hon grounds of the new Capital building at Salt Lake City, Utah, in honor of the famous "Mormon Battalion." The enlisting of the "Mormon Battalion" was one of the most unique events in U. S. military annuals. The "Mormon" have always responded to the call of their government in supplying troops or troops. In the recent war over twenty-thousand of them helped to "blow" autonomy and many lie under the poppaes in Flinders' fields. When the first call came for troops, Utah applied five times the number asked for. In the Mexican trouble, Utah troops were first on the border and in the Philippines, during the war with Illinois and Michigan. In July they followed the support even them by the Utah militia base. Driven from Nauvoo, Illinois in the cloud of winter, for the then handful of "Mormon" to be called on in their campaign the energies for five hundred able-bodied men rose as a most unusual JOHN H.

How they responded is well told by Austleie Orsan F. Whitney: "They came the call for 500 men to form part of Kearney's invading force and to be mustered from the Mormon camps on the Missouri. Not having heard from their messenger, sent to Washington, the Mormon leaders having arrived on the frontier, were naturally astounded to receive a call for five hundred able-bodied men at such a time. They were then in the midst of an Indian country, engaged in an exodus unparalleled for dangers and hardships. They had brought their sick and aged, their crippled and infirm, and not an able-bodied man could well be spared. Women and children, in some instances, had been driving team and tending stock, owing to the limited number of men available. All who could be spared had left their families encamped on the prairies and the river banks, and had gone into the adjoining state to win bread for their families and forage for their teams. "When this call came it naturally surprised the Mormon leaders, and at first they looked upon it as a hostile demonstration. They had not asked for anything of the kind; had not asked for the privilege of enlisting; but for the privilege of freighting goods and military stores while carrying on their exodus. But the patriotism of the people rose triumphant over any temptation to reasent this demand, which, I believe, was kindly meant by the government. I do not think the government realized the true situation. Thinking it could assist the Mormon exiles, and at the same time subserve its own interests, it gave them the opportunity as it was called, of sending five hundred of their young men as a pioneer body to look out a home for the rest. The government did not know that a pioneer organization had already been formed; that it was the purpose of Brigham Young and his associates to leave the main body of their people encamped upon the Missouri, and cross the plains, and explore the Rocky Mountains in the summer of 1840. The call for the battalion did help the community in some ways. It gave them the opportunity to show their patrotism, their loyalty, their willingness-to help the government in the great war it had undertaken; and it partly pioneered the west. Members of this battalion, honorably discharged after their term of enlistment was over, dug up the first gold of California. Yes, it was Mor- er of "Mormon" Battalion. mon picks and shovels that brought that gold to the surface, although it was a non-Mormon who first pronounced it gold. But the call for the battalion, nevertheless, postponed the departure of the pioneers until the following spring. July, 1846, instead of July, 1847 would have witnessed Utah's natal day, had it not been for the episode of the Mormon battalion. After the departure of the five hundred volunteers, it was out of the creation to spare the pioneer band until the year following." Sculptor Riswold takes pride in the fact that his only art education was received in Chicago. He is a 100 percent American and a native of the West, having been born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. With the combined craft of patriotism, of art, and of the great West's work, which we hope to present fully to our readers on its completion in pictures, will no doubt be a thing of beauty and a joy for everyone.

Y—Two hundred jand fifty leading Americans, Repub- licans and™Democrats, representing 40 different states and every prominent activity, have joined in a non-partisan effort to bring about the ratification of the Peace Treaty, “without amend. ment and without delay.” Their names are atfached to an address to the United States senate, which was made public through the League to Enforce Peace, after it had been sent to ev ery member of the senate. ‘The signers, almost without excep- tion, are men and women of national reputation. They include such promi nent citizens as ex-President Taft, George W. Wickersham, Attorney Gen- eral in the last Republican administra- tion; A. Lawrence Lowell, president of Harvard; Charles ©. Moore of San Francisco, president of the Panama Exposition; Judge George Gray of Wil- mington, Del.; President Samuel Gom- pera of the American Federation of Labor; Harry A. Wheeler of Chicago, retiring president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States; Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association; Cyrus H. K. Curtis, the Philadelphia publisher; President He- bert J. Grant of the Mormon Chureh, and Spargo, leader of the Socialists ‘who supported the war. . ‘The signers declare that every day of delay in ratifying the treaty puts the world in “imminent peril of new war” ‘Their statement follows: In the senate at Washington, now that the committee on foreign rela- tions has reported the treaty, the lines are sharply drawn betwoon the imme Sierrptignetii of the tepaty of panos whe 7 and {ts amendment with ‘& reassembling of the conference and ‘8 reopening of negotiations that would Dring great delay and prolonged un- certainty ta te age the great iasues of the peace.

Let the senate kive the world peace by ratification without amendment Even the amendment for which most can be said, the provision in regard to Shantung, will secure nothing which cannot be gained if Ohina, backed by the powerful advocacy of the United States, uddresses itself to the machin- ery for righting international wrongs and meeting just claims created by the league betwoon nations. China, after eight years of oppressive trea- ties and despoiled rights, by which all the great powers have profited direct- ly or indirectly, has for the first time, in this covenant and treaty, the means and method to secure justice and the removal of the oppressive economic in- terterences of stronger nations whose citizens are within her gates, protect- ed by a long succession of interna: tional agreements. Moreover, {t should be remembered that the clause regard. ing Shantung was made upon the statement by Japan that she will re- turn the territory to China and, there- fore, upon that ‘condition, compllance with which promise the league can require. ‘The peace of the present and the sighteousness of the future can he best secured by the ratification of the cove- nant and treaty without amendment. Lot the senate take no action that will sive any party to the treaty, and espe- cially Germany, ground for maintain- ing that the ratification of the United States is not complete and that changes requiring a resumption of conference and negotiations have been made in it i Among the signers in Illinois, Indiana ‘and Missouri are: Minois, Jobn R.

Member of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn., who was declared recently by the Chancery Court, to be one of the original Board member.s Suicide Rate Low In Utah Credit Given to "Block Teacher" System of "Mormon" Church The Chicago Journal gives interesting statistics regarding suicides in Utah and also an idea of the co-operative or community system of "neighborly visits" to which the low rate is claimed to be due:— "In the matter of suicides, Utah, in 1915, had the lowest rate of any state in the union, according to statistics of the state health office. The percentage was 12.7 per 100,000 of population. Even this record was bettered in 1916 and 1917, when the number per 100,000 population was 11.8 and 10, respectively. Credit for this low suicide rate is given in a large degree to the "block teacher" system of the Mormon church. Utah's population is largely Mormon and visits by these "teachers" has been found an important factor in preventing actions due to lonesexness and lack of advisors. In each ecclesiastical ward of the church are both ward teachers and relief society teachers. "Blocks," approximating from six to twelve homes within a ward, are visited regularly by these teachers, both men and women. Families are given counsel in both religious, business and family affairs when they desire it. In this way, according to the authorities of the church, those persons of a morse disposition are cheered, young mothers are advised and numerous other matters taken up that have proved of benefit to all. In the advising of young mothers, according to church statistics, it is claimed that the death rate among the young children is remarkably low among those who accept counsel, the records showing that an average of only one in 21 babies under one year of age dies annually. While the "teachers" are principally for the purpose of visiting and counseling members of the church, the help is offered to gentiles as non-"Mormons" are usually termed in the West, if they wish it. No one, including church members need be visited if they do not wish it." Nauvoo, Illinois, according to the Monmouth Review, is historic in other ways than having once been the home of the "Mormons" (who built and occupied it from 1834 to 1846). In an article written by H. S. Salisbury, of Carthage, he says: "In 1844 Nauvoo was twice as large as Chicago, at that time had a great university, an excellent public school system, was the largest city in Illinois and the only city in the world that prohibited the liquor traffic." ```markdown ``` METROPOLIS, WEFKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. usual problems often arise require unusual service that efficiently rendered organization. let all emergencies, of any to our profession OUR TELEPHONE IMMATERIAL part of Metropolis, or the can save you Worry, Time the Country and Auto- alty. covered day or night.

THE LETTER OF THE LEGISLATIVE COMMISSIONER OF THE UNITED STATES TO THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PHILIPPINES Rev. A. Lovelace. Murphysboro, Illinois. RELIEF WORK MUST GO ON, SAYS HOOVER Head of American Relief Administration in Interview Endorses Efforts of Private Agencies. New York.—Private charitable and relief organizations must now take over the work of feeding and succoring the poor of Eastern Europe, which was formerly done by the American Relief Administration, Herbert Hoover asserted in Paris just before his return to this country, according to a dispatch from the New York Times' foreign correspondent. Outside help is imperative, he stated, especially in feeding and clorbing the 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 children in Europe whose health and strength are being dangerously undermined by long malnutrition. The work of feeding these children Mr. Hoover considers the most important single thing yet to be done. Of the total number of children affected about 1,000,000 are Jewish. Of this number at least 100,000 are orphans, according to information in the hands of the American Jewish Relief Committee, and most of these youngsters have no home save the streets of Polish cities. A late report from Dr. Boris Bogen, executive director for the Joint Distribution Committee of Jewish relief funds in Poland, states that 375,000 Jewish children in that country are now being fed daily by his agency. Careful estimates based on a partial census show that more than twice this number of Jewish children must be eured for. It is for purposes of expanding this work to care for all these needy youngsters that the American Jewish Relief Committee is seeking a fund of $55,000,000 this year. Without widespread and adequate help from charitable and relief organizations, according to Mr. Hoover's information, literally tens of thousands of these lads and lassies will not survive the coming winter. Phone 364 Proposed Constitution Of The Baptist Minister's Alliance. We, the Minister's of the Mt. Olive and East Mt. Olive Baptist District. Associations of Southern Illinois, desirous of a more oneness in perpetuating the principles and Doctrines Legislated by Jesus Christ, and practiced by His Apostles, seeking by the word of God to bring ourselves, and the churches as well, more into the unity of the Faith of Jesus Christ, do now adopt the following Constitution. Article 1 Name. Sec.1. This organization shall be called the Missionary Baptist Minister's Alliance of Southern Illinois. Sec.2. Officers. Its Officers shall consist of a President, two Vice Presidents, Recorcing Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer and such committees as may conserve the best interest of the body, all of which shall be elected annually by a majority vote of the body. Article 2 Membership. Sec. 1. This organization shall be composed of Missionary Baptist Ministers furnishing bonified membership in any regular Missionary Baptist Church, together with his good standing where he now pastors, or where he last pastored, or the church where he worship's with whether he ever pastored or not. Article 3. Authority Sec.1. This organization shall have the power to receive to, or drop from its fellowship any Minister or Ministers whom it deems worthy or unworthy of fellowship. Sec.2. This Constitution by laws,or regulations,shall by no means conflict with the rules and regulations of the two Associations namely Mt. Olive and East Mt. Olive. Poor Church Fund. A fund of $57.80 was raised by the Mt. Olive Baptist Association at Duquoin, last week through the efforts and advice of Moderator McCraary. This fund will be used to aid weak churches when the Fund reaches the amount to justify. The money will be loaned for a short time at a small intrrest. We have a standing committee to look after this part of the work and we urge every church to establish a Penny Fund by lifting a penny collection every Sunday. This is a move that was in hearty accord with the association and was readily approved. Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrh deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catararr Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catararr Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. Results All That Count.
