METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE BAPTIST ARMY TO ASSEMBLE IN AUDITORIUM . Nashville Baptists Ready For Convention. M. E. STONER KILLED SUNDAY Phillip Reynolds Held For Grand Jury Investigation. Evanston, Ill, Aug. 15, (Special). It was announced today during the session of the North Wood River Association over which Dr. B. P. E. Gayles is presiding. that all arrangements have been completed at Nashville, for the great delegation which is expected to attend the session of the National Baptist Convention convening here September 5th. Dr. G. B. Taylor, of Nashville, Chairman of the Board of Trusts wired Dr. Jones, presiden M. E. STONER SHOOTING AFFRAY SON-IN-L Phillip Reynolds Held Fo A shooting affray Sunday morning, near Unionville, resulted in the death of M. E. (Et) Stoner, (white) aged bout 51 years. Stoner was shot three times, once in the arm, once in the breast and once in the stomach. He died about 20 minutes after he was shot. The was only one eye witness to the whole affair, but several other witnesses saw part of it. Phillip Reynolds, who fired the shots is being held in jail for a grand jury investigation. John Baggett, who saw the whole affair, has made a statement to the county officers which has been corroborated in part by others who saw only a part of the fight, the following is Baggett's story: Statement made by John Baggett, relative to the killing of M. E. (Etna) Stoner by Philip Reynolds Sunday morning, Aug. 20, about 8:00 a. m. "Phil Reynolds and I had gone to Unionville, in Phil's car and while threere he said he believed he would go home, and see his baby and get some water for his batteries. He bought some candy at Unionville, for the baby, and we went out to Etna Stoner's home. Phil drove up by the side of the road in front of the house and his little four year old girl came running out to meet him, calling him dady, and got on the fender of the car. Just at this time Etna Stoner came out of the house, came towards the car and spoke and we both spoke to him. Stoner came up to the car while we were both still sitting in it ask Phil what the trouble was between he and Desse, Phil's wife, and who was the daughter of Mr. Stoner, Phil said. 'I don't know Et, but just like any other man and wife, just could not get along and quit.' At this moment Stoner rushed toward the car with his knife in his right hand the knife still closed, grabbed Phil by his left arm with Stoner's left hand and Stoner said you are just a liar. Then Phil start- ```markdown ``` METROPOLIS of the Convention that the Ryman Auditorium had been secured and would be used during the Convention. The Association at once ordered Dr. H. W.

Just as the shooting started I had gotten out of the car and ran down the road a few feet, then Phil got out on the opposite side of the car that Stoner was on and tried to run up the road but Stoner ran around in the front of the car and grabbed him with his left hand, threw him down in the road and got on top of him, and with the knife still in his left hand tried to open it with his teeth, but as Phil would try to get up he would shove him down again and try to open his knife with his teeth. Mr. Stoner called for his daughter, the wife of Reynolds to come and open his knife, but I suppose on account of Stoner becoming weak Reynolds threw him over and got on top of him, and was on top of Stoner when Mr. Sharp came up. I picked up Reynold's gun and Mr. Will Wymore picked up Stoner's gun, we both gave to Mr. Will Sharp. Phil went to his car and stated to get in and his wife ran up and grabbed the switch key and threw it over into the field, then Reynolds tried to get the wires connected so he could go, but after he could not we both left and walked to my house, where Phil cleaned up and waited for the officers to come and get him. —Republican-Herald.

Aug. 21 James Wylie Reece, a "Holy Roller" and farmer, residing on sand Mountain, near Chavies about seven miles from this city, was bitten by a large rattle snake Friday afternoon, from which the man died within thirty minutes in great agony, according to reports received here. It is said that Reece was bitten in the attempt to capture the rattler. He then told some neighbor friends to look after his children, as he felt that his time had come. It is said that Reece had been a noted "Holy Roller" out in that section of the country and in various occasions had assisted in conducting religious seances in which very poisonous reptiles, such as rattlesnakes and copper-heads, were handled and exhibited by members of the church. The dead man was indicted by the grand jury in this county a year ago on a murder charge, alleging that he permitted a venomous snake to bite and kill one of his little children. He was freed then by the court taking the view that every person in this country should be permitted to serve God according to the dictates of his own conscience and that it was wholly through ignorance that the defendant attempted to practice such religious activities. American Bar Association Endorses Anti-Lynch Bill Committee Finds "That Further Legislation Should Be Enacted By Congress : To Pravent Lynching And Mob Violence." New York, Aug 16, (Special) "We find that further legislation should be enacted by the Congress to punish and prevent lynching and mob violence," was the official recommendation of the American Bar Association's Committee on Law Enforcement made at its meeting at San Francisco on August 10, according to an announcement made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at its office here recently. This action by the Bar Association followed intensive work, by the Advancement Association in seeking to have such a recommendation made on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. In March, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the Association, went to Washington at the request of the Law enforcement Committee to appear at Public hearings which were being held to determine the causes of lawlessness in America. Following this appearance Mr. Johnson went again to the second meeting of the Committee on Law Enforcement held at Chicago, on April 10. At both of these meetings Mr. Johnson impressed upon members of the Committee the urgent necessity of Federal legislation against lynching and urged the committee to include in its recommendation to the Bar Association an official approval and support of the meas FRIDAY ILLINOIS AUGUST Editor Friend of Small Gets $7,000 'Ptum' Gov. Len Small yesterday named William J. Smith, editor of the Waukegan Sun, as a member of the Illinois commerce commission. He gets the seventh place which has been vacant ever since the name of the body was changed and its membership increased by the last legislature more than a year ago. During the gubernatorial campaign and until last winter the Waukegon Sun was extremely hostile to Gov. Small, But when his trial was shifted to Waukegan, a change took place in the policy of the paper. It then championed his cause so warmly that reprints of at least one its editorials were mailed broadcast over the state. This is the second state appointment to go to Lake county since the governor was acquitted the one June 24. Soon after that date, J. B. Fields, a young chauffeur of Antioch, a member of the Small jury, was appointed deputy game warden for the district of Kankakee, where governor lives. W. J. Braxton, the governors's chief game warden, escorted Fields from the jury box after the verdict was returned. The appointment of Mr. Smith created considerable discussion in Waukegan. —Chicago Daily Tribune. —The Chicago Tribue has put up another grat wail because Gov. Small, appointed William J. Smith of the Waukegan Sun as a member of the Ill., commerce commission at the fat salary of $7,000. The governor would be very ungrateful if had any favors to give. if he did not bestow them upon men who came to his rescue when he needed friends. The Tribune soon forgets the fine Juicy Plum that fell to Atty. Wilkerson, by Senator McCormick, and the approval of the Tribune to a Federal Judgdeship who was the leading prosecuting attorney of Gov. Small, during his indictment and prosecution. This plum is said to be a reward for activities against Gov. Small. The Tribune should get the beam out of its own eye, then it will be time enough to look after the motes that it thinks to be in the governor's eyes. We hope that Governor Small will keep up the good work, now that he has started. The recommendation quoted above gives official endorsement to the Anti-Lynching Bill by the most influential group of lawyers in America. The American Bar Association is composed of the most illustrious lawyers in the country, including such jurist as William H. Tatt, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Charles Evans Hughes, Secretary of State, Charles S. Whitman, former governor of New York and the most instrumental members of the Bar in all parts of country. Endorsement of the Anti-Lynching Bill by the American Bar Association with endorsements that have already been given to the measure make the legal opinion of the country overwhelmingly in support of the constitutionality of the measure and removes any and UNDERTAKING A SPECIALTY NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

Employed to Taech in Chicago Salary $2,500 Mrs. Irence B. Haynes, who resides on N. Broaday in this city, a graduate of Dunbar High School and who taught in the city school here for a number of years, was recently elected to teach in city school of Chicago, in District No. 7, at handsome salary of $2,500.00. She had to take the examination and passed with a good percent. This certainly speaks well for her, and her friends rejoice at her promotion. A "kick" often means a boost for the one kicked. The Gazette is certainly pleased to learn of her promotion as we know of her worth and sterling qualities. She was always a close student and we are sure she will give a good account of herself and the "Egyptians."

All papers, Obituaries, Pro- grams, Resolutions, Essays, Ser- mons, Personal Write-ups, etc. There will bc a charge of $1.00 for the above named for 15 lines and ail articles containing more than 15 type lines 10c will be charged for every additional line.” This docs not apply to news of the churches. We are ‘compelled to do this for financial protection. Our more than 23 years of experience in the newspaper world has taught us that we bave been giving away hundaeds of dolirrs annually paying for ‘setting type for such things in which the general public is not interested in, and most of the time the persons writing are not subscribers and not interested in and have no Race pride or Race Loyalty, they make long and loud speeches:to the galleries, preach great sermons and write fine papers on patronizing Race enterprises and that is as far asit goes with them, as nine times out ten they give their job work what little they have, to other persons other than race papers and are withholding the support from the men who are fighting mob and lynch law and the many other in- equalities and evils which contam- inate the race filty two weeks ia the year, while these would be race lovers find excuses in giving their work to others claiming they are too high priced or the work inferior to others, when at the same time these same papers that they refuse to let do theirs are do- ing work for Negroes who do not pose as Race leaders, and too, these same race papers are doiag job work for some of best busi- aess firms ~ and individuals of the white race. The papers are great so long asthey boost this class of individuals for naught and let him help the fellow who does not need his financie! assistance, There seems too much racial jealousy and envy among the majority of our great leaders and that ac- connts for slow progress along race enterprises. Therefore we have taken the matter ugder careful advisement and have concluded to place a small charge on all matter except purely news,’ All Associational, Conventional matter we expect the officers of the Bodies to take care of ina more systematic way hereafter at quarterly and annual meeting.

St. Clair 1969 ANCIENT PEOPLE A MYSTERY Excavations on Site of Askalon and Gaza May Throw Light on Philistines. A further attempt is to be made this summer to solve the "mystery of the Philistines." Professor Garstand, the archeologist, has returned to Palestine after his visit to England and has started to mark out sites for further excavations. During the past two years the professor and his assistants have been engaged in making exploration on the sites of the ancient cities of Askalon and Gaza. This season trial explorations are to be made upon a series of "tells" (artificial hill mounds, the debris of successive cities near the two sites of Askalon and Gaza. Little is known of the national history of the Philistines, and it is the object of the new excavations to get at the problem of this mysterious race. Professor Garstand considers that it would be too prolonged and expensive a business to dig through the great depth of Graeco-Roman buildings to the deeper layers in which lie the Philistine remains of the city of Askalon, so that the excavations will be outside the walls of the city. A good deal of pottery has been discovered and a few weapons which may have been used against King David. Many theories have been advanced as to who the Philistines were, and from whence they came, but it is generally believed their origin was in the neighborhood of the island of Cyprus. Reference is made to them in the pre-Mosaic period, but for at least 3,000 years they have remained a mystery. MEXICANS TAKE TO "MOVIES" Popular American Amusement May Yet Take the Place of the Sanquinary Bull Fight. The movie is displacing the bull fight as the popular amusement of Mexico. "The motion picture undoubtedly holds first place in the amusement field of the Chihuahua consular district," says Vice Consul Ott in a report to the Department of Commerce. "From one small, unpretentious circus tent installed in Chihuahua city some ten or fifteen years ago the business has grown until today there are in the consular district 15 permanently established movie houses where pictures are exclusively shown, with a number of legitimate theaters giving occasional exhibitions. "This development occurred partly during a period of revolution, when it was no uncommon thing to have the performance interrupted by firing on the outskirts of the city." Ott says that the upper classes demand emotional dramas and melodramas and the peons prefer western thrillers and slapstick comedies. American machines are used exclusively. European makers having failed to sell a single projector. Tribe That Devours its Children. "Since the doctor came here we have seen the most wonderful things happen. First of all he kills the sick people; then he cures them, and after that he wakes them up again." So a native girl wrote of Dr. Albert Schweitzer, author of "On the Edge of the Primal Forest," who went out in 1913 to the Ogwe lowlands of the French colony of Gaboon, there to maintain for four and a half years a surgical and medical clinic for the negroes. "Our country devours its own children," was the sage remark of an old chief. A vicious climate, a plentiful lack of proper food, overindulgence in rum and strong tobacco were killing off the natives rapidly when Doctor Schweitzer arrived. One of the worst problems was chronic nicotine poisoning, producing acute constipation and nervous disturbances. The tobacco comes from America in the form of leaves, frightfully strong, and is so highly prized by the natives that it is used as money—a single leaf buying two fine pineapples. Eline View of Waterspout. It is rarely that an opportunity occurs to make a truly scientific observation of a waterspout. Yet an engineer on board an American schooner had what is said to be a unique experience of this kind off the coast of New South Wales. Fourteen complete waterspouts formed off the shore where he was at work with a theodolite, and he made careful measurements of them. The largest spout consisted of two cones, connected by a pipe-shaped spout. The top of the upper cone, which was inverted, was 5,014 feet above the sea. Each cone was about 100 feet in diameter at the base, diminishing gradually until it merged into the spout. The length of the cones was about 250 feet each, leaving 4,500 feet for the length of the spout connecting them. No Best In This World. "The soda fountain has one advantage over the old-fashioned bar." "What is it?" asked Mr. Grumpson, suspiciously. "The man you meet there seldom tells you his family troubles and weeps on your shoulder." "That's true, but some old codger who has been buying a pill or a plaster on the other side of the drug store is apt to double over and detain you for half an hour while he tells you what his symptoms are."—Birmingham Age-Herald. SERVES TWO GOOD PURPOSES Aerial Forest Fire Patrol Not Alone of Value in Saving Timber From Flames. The aerial forest fire patrol is not only of inestimable value to the timber-growing states of the Pacific coast, but of great value to the United States army, writes Robert W. Ruhl in Leslie's. If an invading foe ever strikes at the Pacific coast, maps, and similar data, direct products of forest fire patrol, will be of inestimable value to Uncle Sam. And if the millennium arrives on schedule time, and wars cease, then with the development of the commercial airplane the value of these data will run into sufficient money to make the expense of the forest fire patrol look like the German mark. In another direction the aerial forest fire patrol is of material value to Uncle Sam. The great military problem in time of peace is to maintain fighting morale. To an extraordinary degree fighting forest fires calls forth the same qualities required in fighting an armed foe. Locating a forest fire in the wild western country is almost identical with locating an enemy battery; reporting a forest fire to base headquarters by radio is not essentially different from reporting artillery fire; dropping carbon dioxide to extinguish incipient forest fires—a projected development of the near future—demands the same technical skill as would dropping bombs of TNT on an army ammunition dump. The aerial forest fire patrol, moreover, provides ideal training for observation squadrons. Liaison with the forest service is accomplished much the same as with the infantry and artillery in war operations. INDUSTRY CALLS ON SCIENCE Chemist Today Plays a Highly Important Part in Enterprise of Every Description. It is said that whenever a car wheel breaks on a certain great trunk line the fragments are taken to the company's laboratory and carefully studied, so that when the next order for car wheels is made up, if structural weakness caused the accident, it may be guarded against. All the purchases by this railroad of iron, steel, on, lumber or what not are tested by the chemists it employs and they draw up the requirements to which persons who sell the road supplies must conform. This is not an isolated instance. It illustrates the practicality of applied science, and the reliance of acute business men upon the expert opinion that insures them against wasting materials, time and money. A class graduated from one of our largest technological schools numbered almost two hundred young men and women. Eleven of them took up special studies in this institution or others. All but forty of the rest found employment within a year. They engaged in the service of electric companies, railroads, cotton and paper mills, mines, machine works, iron and steel foundries and others of our most important industrial enterprises. Paderewski Easily Disturbed Paderewski will not permit anybody to sit behind him. At some of his concerts hundreds of seats could have been added on the stage. Moreover, in every Paderewski recital no seats are sold in that part of the orchestra proper which is directly behind him. The plano is set at a forty-five degree angle, which means that in the extreme left corner of the orchestra, looking toward the stage, a number of seats are directly facing Paderewski's back. Those seats are empty for Paderewski. "If they are behind me, I think they are pushing my elbows," he says. One night he complained: "Will you go down to that woman in the seventh row at the right? She is fanning. I do not mind if she fans in time. But if she cannot do that I cannot play."—C. D. Isaacson in Hearst's. Human Flea "I reckon you had a right lively time in Kansas City?" insinuated an acquaintance. "Tolable," replied Gabe Gosnell of Grudge, "but nothing like what I probably would have had if I wasn't considerably lively on my feet. You see, up in Kansas City, if you meet a respectable looking man anywhere after 4 o'clock in the afternoon anywhere the least bit off to one side, he's a holdup and robs you. "And if you meet one that don't look respectable he's a plainclothes policeman, and pounds you because he thinks you're a holdup. So I was practically on the keen jump all the time I was there, dodging one or the other." —Kansas City Star. Ignition of Escaping Hydrogen. There have been so many cases of spontaneous ignition of hydrogen gas when charging balloons that an investigation has been carried on to determine the cause. By observing in the dark a jet of hydrogen escaping through a pipe flange, it was found that a brush discharge of static electricity was plainly visible. When the pipe was tapped, to stir up the dust, an explosion occurred. From the investigation it would seem that the spontaneous ignition was due to the friction between the hydrogen and the dust of iron rust and to the brush discharge of static electricity from the electrified particles. — Popular Mechanics Magazine.
