HISTORIANS' CONFERENCE CALLED Clarence Cameron White in Violin Recital Established To Secure Justice and Equality to All VOLUME III. NO. 5 VIOLIN VIRTUOSO IS PRESENTED BY NABORHOOD CLUB Clarence Cameron White in Rare Musicale Fete Pleases Music Lovers. Clarence Cameron White, violin virtuoso, is truly the genius as heralded. His appearance at the Church club Monday evening, under the auspices of the Naborhood club, of which Mrs. Monjoy Jones is president, was highly pleasing to an appreciable audience. The master violinist was assisted by Miss Marienne Jeffrey at the piano and Miss Jeska Oden, soprano. Mr. White, who has studied in both Paris and London under famous masters, has been pronounced as possessing rare technique by the best teachers in America. His first number was (a) Gypsy Song, (b) Scherzo. This was followed by "The Cry of Rachel," sung by Miss Jeka Oden, whose beautiful soprano voice charmed the audience. Mr. White then played in a masterly manner (a) "Romance," (b) "Orienteale," (c) "Berceuse," (d) "Pizzicato." "Inpromptu, C sharp minor, Opus 28" was played by Miss Marienne Jeffrey, who is recognized as the foremost pianist of the Twin Cities. Her interpretation was unusually splendid. Well Received. The White's "Prize Song" was on par with his previous selections, followed by "Ave Maria," by Miss Oden. The last suite played by Mr. White consisted of (a) "Twilight," (b) "Serenade," (c) "On the Bayou," (d) "Negro Chant," (e) "Negro Dance." The master violinist possessed a pleasing personality as well as musical talent. He was born in Tennessee, reared in Oberlin, Ohio, and received his early education at Washington. So pleasing was his recital that several encores were necessary to satisfy the applauding audience. Each tone was perfectly at the control of Mr. White. The complete program was varied and his interpretation of the numbers show a great tenderness and the beauty of their art embodied by his sympathetic touch seemed most divine in "Romance" by Palmgren. The Naborhood club is due much appreciation for bringing Mr. White to St. Paul for the benefit of the music lovers. The proceeds were for the benefit of Crispus Attucks Home. Boston has a social organization named "The Bell-Weevils." Included in our 340 manufacturers are six women. as semi-professionals, but this number does not include the ward "heelers." We have 506 "healers" classified Statistics show that we have only two colored female "hunters and trappers." The count must be wrong! J.H.McDonald For Councilman J. H. McDonald is one of the efficient Councilmen who is deserving of our support. He has helped put over some of the propositions that have made this one of the leading cities. His experience is of such that his J. H. McDonald is one of the efficient Councilmen who is deserving of our support. He has helped put over some of the propositions that have made this one of the leading cities. His experience is of such that his place in the City Council would be difficult to fill. Mr. McDonald stands squarely behind only such measures that are right and believes that citizens alike are to share in the benefits of the community. The primaries Monday will give us an opportunity of helping a good man to re-election. BULLETIN-APPEAL Mayor Arthur E. Nelson For Justice to All Citizens We wish to call the attention of our voters to the advisibility of supporting our present Mayor, Arthur E. Nelson, in his campaign for reelection. Our present Mayor is highly deserving of the favorable consideration of our group because he has stood for only such measures that meant fairness to all. His administration can pass the most rigid muster because his platform speeches were fulfilled after his election, which is more than we can say for some of his predecessors. Mayor Nelson has always stood for a greater St. Paul and has worked faithfully to secure that end. The city has been benefited by his regime, so let us keep him at the head of our municipal government and secure liberty, justice and equality for all citizens, regardless of race, color or creed.

The ever oblinging porter gave service till early morn to Columbia and America. Blushing Piereties in black and white pirouetted over the floor with Pierrot the clown. Mr. W. A. Alexander, president, assisted by the entertainment committee composed of B. F. Edwards, Richard Anderson, James Milton, Carlos Alexander, George Moore and Clarence McCullough of Minneapolis, were untiring in their efforts to see that the guests were royally entertained. All departed in the wee sma' hours, voting this the most delightful affair ever given by the club. HENNEPIN COUNTY G. O. P. PICK RACE DELEGATES The Hennepin County Republican convention, which met Wednesday, had two delegates of our group in the persons of Messrs. Fred L. Jemison and Eddie S. Blackman, both of Minneapolis. They elected from the Sixth ward Mr. Jemison, defeating his white opponent in the first precinct, while Mr. Blackman had no opposition. The convention was of great importance to the Hennepin county Republicans. The two delegates, Messrs. Jemison and Blackman, were the only representatives of our voters present. They also went to St. Paul after the session. The failure of the Sanhedrin conference to remain in session several weeks longer nearly cost Howard University $307,000. Four Negro convicts were recently burned to death in a fire that destroyed the main building at the Flat Top Mine, near Birmingham, Ala. Just a little variation from the usual program of being whipped to death. Com. Ferguson Merits Support No man in the city administration has contributed more to the building of a greater city than L. R. S. Ferguson, commissioner of Education. We have been fortunate in securing better schools because of his far-sightedness; even more adequate growth of the city. We believe our present Commissioner of Education worthy of the support of our group and feel that we should help nominate and elect him by an even greater majority than he was in his previous campaign. The commonwealth requires the education of the people as the safeguard of liberty and order, so let's keep Commissioner Ferguson on the job. 195 AktiUR E. NELSON STERLING CLUB IN FANCY DRESS PARTY OF RARITY The Mardi Gras of New Orleans fame was transplanted to Union Hall Monday evening, February 29, when the Sterling club, noted for their original mode of entertaining, gave their fourth annual party in the form of a Fancy Dress affair. Real carnival decorations consisting of purple and white streamers, myriads of vari-colored balloons, and confetti suspended from the ceiling over the heads of the dancers, transformed the hall into a beautiful setting for King Folly and his revelers. Stevens' Harmony Kings, seated on the stage amidst an Oriental background, delighted the dancers, who called for repeated encores, and they played as never before. Supper was served at midnight while Mrs. Maxine Anderson entertained with the latest song hits. Unique favors were presented to each guest. Among the Dancers. Night, in her somber mantle of black with hundreds of stars and crescents, shed her moonbeams on the dancers. Spanish grand dames with their lace mantillas and red roses flirted gayly with the cowboys from the wild and wooly west. Stately colonial dames curtesied to the gentlemen from Virginia; charming Japanese and Chinese maledines waved their fans in ecstasy to Chinese mandarins and merchants whose pigtails floated in the air. Handsome Shelkins of the desert mingled on the sands with the Gypsies in dazzling colors. Persian and Arabian beauties with their black eyes peering over their veils gazed into those of the Mexican voquerros in Sombrero and corduroy costume. Fashions of long ago, Reuben and Silas from the country, tripped the light fantastic with Indian princesses. Artists in their smocks neglected their art to dance with the Castilian beauties of Spanish fame while Red Riding Hood and the Dairy Maid strolled amongst the dancers. Features Entertainment. The Queen of Hearts was there regaled in her robes of satin andermine covered with red hearts as the witch swept on with her broom before the midnight hour should come. Native Hawaiians with their wreathes of welcome strummed love ditties on their ukeleles while the Butterfly hovered near a Flower Girl with her basket of blossoms. Dainty maledens in red and white costumes dispensed delicious frappe and quenched the thirst of the dancers from many lands. A Bonnie Scotch Lassie in her Taritan plaid did a THE NORTHWESTERN ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1924 No man in the city administration has contributed more to the building of a greater city than L. R. S. Ferguson, commissioner of Education. We have been fortunate in Colonel Charles M. Young 1865 1922 The career of Charles Young, the soldier, statesman and musician, is of perennial interest to the world because it represents a high personal achievement accomplished under severe difficulties. Born in obscurity, like Lincoln, he faced the American color prejudice, lion-like, and rose high in the ranks of fame and usefulness. Colonel Young served his country in Haiti, Africa, Mexico and the Philippines. He served four years as military attache to Haiti. During this time he made an accurate map of the country. It is said that the American Marines would not have been able to find their way into Haiti so easily had not Captain Young done his work so well. He also found time to write the drama. "Toussaint L'Ouverture." The last time the writer saw Colonel Young was in December, 1919, in Boston, Mass., just prior to his departure for Liberia. I shall never forget the stern expression and the sparkling eyes of this noble character. The inspirational power and personal magnetism of Colonel Young were the secrets of his success. I recall the inspirational effect of his voice when he addressed the Grand Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity (of which he was a member) in Tremont Temple. The Colonel made a strong plea for justice. He said that he wanted for us all what other Americans enjoy and pleaded for an awakening spirit of united action to get what was justly ours. He continued: "Bolshevism, anarchism and all other 'isms' should be avoided. They breed violence. Whatever changes occur in our social, political and economic laws will not be wrought by bloodshed," he declared. Never in my life have I heard a more earnest plea for united action. As long as we can produce men and women of his strength and worth we need not be afraid of the future or what it will bring. His picture ought to be in the home of every member of the race. Teach your boys and girls his story; make them know him and his record. Like Lincoln, he had what all men, black and white, respect—moral and physical courage and the ability to meet hard tasks and disagreeable situations unflinchingly without losing his head or his confidence in himself. When a man loses hope in the future and confidence in himself the game of a useful life is up. Colonel Young was especially interested in the men of his race, and I can truly say that he has left a lasting and uplifting imprint in the minds of every man who knew him. He was a musician of no mean ability. I recall, vividly, that evening in Boston when this soldier, statesman and traveler sat at the piano and mastered some of the most difficult compositions of the world's greatest artists. Colonel Young was intensely interested in the development of Liberia. It was his intention while military attache to Liberia to write a history of the country. He was stricken while on an investigation tour of the interior. In the passing of Colonel Young the government has lost a good citizen, and the race a friend, and the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity a big brother. So in our memorial services of March 12, with our faces turned to the East, while the bugle sounds the "taps," let us build a monument to the memory of Charles Young and his achievements in the minds of the coming generations. ORGANIZATION TO HELP WORKING MEN IN MILL CITY Various Departments Will Solve Problems Confronting Our Group Here. The Porters' and Walters' club, 18 So. Third street, Minneapolis, has inaugurated a campaign whereby more men of our group may find employment in the Northwest. At a recent meeting, called especially for that purpose, plans were made whereby an employment bureau might be made a part of the club. One thousand letters have been sent out to the business men, factory, hotel and every other enterprise where men are employed, asking that they use our men in such capacities as convenient. The service of the employment bureau is given free of charge to both employer and employee. Only the best men will be plated on any job; so the employer may rest assured of satisfaction. The necessity of this phase was seen during the unemployed men's struggle through the past winter, and it was deemed necessary to promote the general welfare of these men by securing employment for them. Other Features. Not only has the Porters' and Waiters' club linked an employment bureau to its activities, but have an intelligence bureau, musicians and theater folk quarters, barber shop and lunch room, all adding to the comforts of visitors. The necessity of coping with the economic situation as pertains to the men of our group makes it highly imperative that some organization adopt plans by Detective Wins Laurels On CrimeWave Efficiency One of the efficient members of the police department is Detective J. A. Mitchell, who has been on the force of law enforcers for 10 years. Mr. Mitchell has unravelled some of the most intricate crimes in St. Paul and is held in valuable estimation by the Commissioner of Safety. His experience and qualifications are responsible for his being sent to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado, Washington, Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska on official business for the police department. At the time of Mr. Mitchell's appointment, fifty men, including twenty policemen who sought promotion, also took the examination. Only eight of these men were successful in passing the test, of which Detective Mitchell ranked third. He is progressive, thorough and capable of handling his position. which these conditions may be remedied. The fact that the growth of a group is dependant upon their ability to secure employment was the first consideration given. Only desirable, competent men who are willing to make good on the job will be given the privileges of using the bureau, which is maintained for the exclusive to play a favorable part in the economic life of the Mill City. Wills and Firpo Bout Doubtful A final bid for a heavyweight battle on July 19 between Louis Firpo and Harry Wills was contained in a statement issued by the New York syndicate which for several weeks has been dangling a $500,000 purse in an effort to attract the principals into the match. l Charles M. 1865 192 (By LeAnder Raymond Hill) charles Young, the soldier, statesn't to the world because it represen- lished under severe difficulties. y, like Lincoln, he faced the Amer- ing in the ranks of fame and usef served his country in Haiti, Afrived four years as military attack an accurate map of the country. could not have been able to find MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY AL SM TRE E CA Recital ns Laurels ave Efficiency JOHN B.

Young 22 Shop Every Week in the Bulletin- Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS CONFERENCE OF HISTORIANS TO MEET APRIL 3-4 Prominent Speakers Will Address Body to Discuss All Phases of Race. On the 3rd and 4th of April the Spring Conference of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History will take place in Philadelphia. Reports on the status of investigations will be made, men of scientific preparation will be invited to discuss serious aspects of their studies and prominent persons interested in the Negro will bring a word of cheer. We are endeavoring to make this the most significant meeting in the history of the association. The conference will direct its attention to the Negro in Africa; the Latin-American of color, the migration in its historical setting, racial crossings or inter-breeding, labor before the Civil War, labor during the reconstruction, the free Negro prior to emancipation, folk-lore, and the development of the church. Various Speakers. Practically all of the speakers are persons of national reputation and the topics which they will discuss are of paramount importance. Mr. L. Hollingsworth Woou, president of the Urban league, will discuss "Some Happy Results of Race Contacts;" Mr. Charles S. Johnson, editor of Opportunity, will present the "Migration of the Negro in Its Historical Setting;" Dr. Melville J. Herskovits of the New School of Social Research will speak from the results of his study of "Racial Crossings of the Whites and Blacks in Harlem, New York City." Dr. Alain Leroy Locke, who has recently returned from Africa, will disclose "New Approaches to African Culture;" Professor Charles H. Wesley of Howard University will deliver a discourse on the "Economic Status of the Negro in the Decade Prior to the Civil War;" Dr. Robert T. Kerlin, the noted author and reformer, will discuss the "Latest Developments in Negro Poetry;" Mr. A. A. Taylor, associate investigator of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, will speak on "The Movement of the Negroes to the Southwest Between 1830 and 1850;" the Honorable Thomas E Miller, former member of Congress, will enlighten the conference on the "Free Negro Prior to the Civil War;" Dr. R. C. Woods, president of Virginia Seminary, will deliver an address on "The Value of the Association to the Race," and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, head of the National Training School for Girls, will speak on "The Importance of Negro History." Here is a new movement of tremendous significance and possibilities. We hear much about down-with-Negro and the like, but such spokesmen represent the mob. As the years go by the public learns more and more to appreciate the value of the Negro in the life of the nation. This change is not an accidental result. It has been brought about by the men and women who are using the printed word to put the case of the Negro before the world. Some of this has been done by means of propaganda and some of it by scientific research and publication. The latter is the task of the historian. Advancement Seen. A few years ago it was considered exceptional to meet a Negro who could write an article for a magazine or publish a book. Now with the rapidly increasing number of these studying the social sciences in the best universities of the country; we find a large group of scholars presenting the Negroes' case to the world in definitive form. They have not as yet won their point, and it will require some time before men given to bias will concede the force of what these historians are writing; but no man can in the future write the history of this day and generation without taking into account what these students are unearthing and publishing to the world. a A TI EE I IE OT aS 5 I SSD EE OSSD TAI Ta T= Sanaa aiaaiaaamaaauaaauaaaaancaamaaaaiadacamaiaanaiaimamaiamsiasiaiaimaiamaalaa aaa aaa aes —————E SISSLE & BLAKE LATEST SHOW TO OPEN MARCH 10 Famous Producers Will Present “Bamville” With Big Cast of Artists.

INSURANCE CO, One of the Strongest Race Com- panies Forced to Make Good Loss of $150,000. ne ee eee ae ee clever and cautious methods of He- man Perry, president of the Standard Life Insurance Company, one of the largest and oldest of our Old Line Legal Reserve Companies, it has leaked out amidst consternation and alarm that General William A. Wright, Georgia Insurance Commis- sioner, in examining the books of the Standard Life Insurance Company, found that their securities had be- come terribly Impaired and to such an extent that the company has been adjudged insolvent much over $150,- 000 and was given thirty days in which to adjust itself. This sensa- tional development follows in the wake of the recent purchase of the Mississippi Life Insurance by the Service Company, which underwrites the stock of the Standard Life. Bought by Whites. It is also persistently reported that the Standard Life has been forced to cell the Mississippi Life for one hun- dred and twenty-five thousand dollars to the Southeastern Security Com- pany to ald in covering up its deficit. The Mississippi Life was said to be worth $1,200,000 and was bought a few weeks ago for the meagre sum of $175,000. Thus Standard has lost fifty thousand dollars in the transac- tion and a white concern now con- trols what was formerly one of the Pride concerns of the colored people. ‘Spaulding Interested.

He would have himself purchased the company if the efforts of one John Copeland, a white insurance broker, had not blocked him. ‘The impair- ment in Standard Life was caused by the depreciation in value of farm lands which the insurance company had taken mortgages upon. It is not known what effect the difficulties of the Standard will have upon its pres- ident, who has been recently herald- ed as being worth eight million dol- lars and enjoyed an income of seven- ty-five thousand déllars per annum.

Actor Cast Ae Hero of White Play on N.Y. Stage New York—A young woman whose name is being withheld has agreed, after one leading actress and many near stars refused, to play op- posite a Negro leading man in an in- ter-racial play, “All God's Chillun Got Wings,” soon to be staged by Eugene O'Neill, it was revealed to- day. The white woman is required, in the closing scene of the play, to kiss the hand of the Negro whose wife she has become. O'Nei’s determination to go through with the staging of his play and to make it realistic with a white woman and a Negro man in the lead- Ing parts, has started much talk in theatrical circles. ‘The plot of the play deals with in- ter-marriage among Negroes and white people, and its scenes are laid in the Negro district of Manhattan. Thé@opening scene {s a busy corner in this section, On the sidewalk are eight children, four white and four Negro. One little white girl, Ella, holds marbles for Jim Harris, a Ne- gro boy. They are portrayed as child sweethearts, she asking “do you want to be my feller?” When he answers in the affirmative, she wafts him a kiss, saying: “Then I'm your girl.” Nine years later the players are on the same corner. Ella is being treat- ed brutally by one of the white men with whom she has grown up and his attitude is contrasted with the kindly way of her Negro sweetheart. Ella and Jim are married. Later she be- comes insane over the race problem. Her insanity becomes childish happi- ness when her husband fails to pass a bar examination and remains a sim- ple Negro. She kisses his hand and he prays.to be made worthy of “the child you send me for the woman you take away.” All classified ads must be paid for in advance. 8c per word, with a,min- imum of 80c per insertion, FOR RENT—Single room, heated. 415 University Ave. Best car serv- ice in the city.
