(Continued on page 4) ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA STAGE SHORT PLAYS Eta Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority presented three short plays to an appreciative audience at the Church club, Dale and Portland avenue. In the order of their presentation, Granny Maumee was the superior of the three written by Ridgely Torrence, author of the Rider of Dreams and Simon, the Cyrean; it depicts both pathos and tragedy. This play has been staged by professionals in the large Eastern cities. The Lafayette Players and the Howard Players have included it in their repertoire. Eta Chapter was forced to pay a royalty before it could be presented. Miss Katheryn Tandy, in the role of Granny Maumee showed great dramatic ability as a tragedienne. Mrs. Alverta Coram, as Pearl, and Miss Antoinette McFarland, as Sapphie, her granddaughters ably supported her. White Elephants, a one-act comedy, was extremely funny with its humorous situation involving a newly-wedded couple and a pair of burglaries who roh their apartment. Larry (Paul Crane) with his cave man tactics directed his pal Flo (Miss Beatrice Hagan) as to where she would find the valuables. Mr. Conrad Fenton, Roscoe Crump) and his wife, Marcia Fenton (Miss Marvel Jackson) are horrified to find the burglaries in their homes, but graciously consented to them taking their superfluous wedding presents such as 7 cheese knives, six cut glass nut bowls, etc., all covered by insurance. The burglaries, highly gratified by Mr. and Mrs. Fentons' generosity, bid them adieu and promised to notify the police. The players entered into their parts whole-heartedly, each assuming the air of professionalism. The Last playlet, "One by One," was a short sketch with two young men and young ladies playing the parts of sweethearts who do not wish to board the Good Ship of Matrimony. However, the spirit of prudence and intuition portrayed by Miss Mary Lealtad guides them into the right path. Mr. Eugene Jackson, featuring lightning steps, furnished a pleasing novelty. Ms. Gladys James directed BULLETIN-APPEAL Minneapolis Branch N.A.A.C.P. To Honor Graduates at Musical Fete INTOLERANCE OF RACE, CREED, COLOR, IS BARBARIC, SAYS BUTLER Delivers Address at Wilberforce College 1. Dr. H. P. Jones, former pastor of St. James' A. M. E. church in this city, now pastor of St. James' A. M. E. church in Pittsburgh, Pa., delivered an inspiring address before the religious societies of Wilberforce College at Xenia, Ohio, during commencement week. Dr. Jones was a graduate in the class of 1890. Dr. Jones is noted as an orator. He is one of the most progressive ministers of the A. M. E. church. The present condition of his prosperous church in Pittsburgh, Pa., is largely due to his untiring energy, loyalty and spiritual guidance. Dr. Jones is the husband of Mrs. Monjoy Jones, 779 Carroll avenue, and his vacations are generally spent in this city. GRADUATE LARGE CLASS FROM WILBERFORCE 'U' GRADUATE LARGE CLASS FROM WILBERFORCE 'U' Dr. H. P. Jones, Pastor of Pittsburgh A. M. E. Church, Delivers Address. The commencement exercises at historic Wilberforce university were the most interesting in the history of the institution. They began with the baccalaureate address on Sunday, June 15, and extended through the afternoon of Thursday, June 19. The baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Bishop John Hurst, D. D., of Baltimore, Md., who presides over the eleventh Episcopal district of the A. N. D. church. Bishop Hurst is an alumnus of the class of 1886. Dr. H. P. Jones, pastor of St. James' A. M. E. church, Pittsburg, Pa., and alumnus of the class of 1890, delivered the address before the religious societies. Dr. T. J. Askew, pastor of Mt. Zion A. M. E. church, Philadelphia, Pa., spoke at Payne Theological Seminary. Miss Mary S. Evans, a graduate of the class of 1911, spoke for the literary societies. One of the big features of the commencement occasion was the Golden Jubilee planned by the Alumni association. The evening of June 18 was dedicated to the graduates of the first decade of the seventies. There were fifty-two graduates during that period. Fourteen are living after a lapse of fifty years. The commencement proper occurred at 10 o'clock Thursday morning, June 19, at which time the university sent forth into the world one of the largest classes in its history. Dr James McGregg, president of Hampton Institute, was the commencement (Continued on page 4) Philadelphia, June 21.—Persons who persist in manifesting intolerance toward men and women of a race, a color or a creed in which they themselves do not believe, are essentially uncivilized.

THE NORTHWESTERN ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1924 High School Students to Stage Entire Program—Fete to Be Held at St. Peter's A. M. E. Church Tuesday, June 24.

Our guests of honor on this fete occasion, class '24, consists of the following graduates: Central High School—Mr. George Bryant, member of B. A. A. and member of the high school band and orchestra. South High School—Miss Jewell K. Coleman, member of G. A. A.; Miss Annie L. Ewing, member of G. A. A., Blue Triangle, Torchbearers and winner of second prize in the Maria Sanford Essay Contest; Miss Eleanor A. Lawrence, member of Press Club, G. A.

These young folks who have made such excellent records during their four years of hard, diligent study in the high schools, and who are the happy members of the distinguished class of '24 richly deserve all the praise and commendation that we can possibly bestow upon them. Let us, therefore, honor them on this fete occasion in a manner commensurate with their worth and accomplishments. Let us greet them with congratulations for what they have achieved, and with encouragement in their further quest of knowledge. Let us make the members of classes '25, '26 and '27 feet that we have a deep interest in them, and that we expect them to stick through and finish. Let us make them all realize that we expect them to be a credit to their families and to the community, and that we look forward to them as being the great men and women of tomorrow. Rev. William E. Dudley, pastor of Park Congregational church, will deliver the address to the four classes. Geo. G. DeVaughn, Pres. N. A. A. C. P Mrs. Cole-Talbert Granted a Divorce In Chicago Court Chicago, Ill.—Florence Cole-Talbert, world's celebrated soprano, was on Monday granted a decree of divorce from W. P. Talbert following action said to have been pending for about six months. The noted singer, prabably the greatest of the race today, and said by many to rival Galli-Curci for world honors, was accompanied at court by her mother, Mrs. Sadie-Cole of Los Angeles, Cal., who seemed fully to approve the action of her daughter to sever marital relations from her former husband.

"Every liberal will wage war on this spirit of persecution until a sound and truly liberal education drives it from the human heart." SMALL CROWD AT URBAN LEAGUE MASS MEETING SMALL CROWD AT URBAN LEAGUE MASS MEETING National and Branch Secretaries Address Meet at Pilgrim Baptist Church. A small but representative audience attended the mass meeting at Pilgrim Baptist church Thursday evening of last week to listen to the interesting address made by Eugene Kinckle Jones, secretary of the National Urban league. Attorney W. T. Francis presided at the meeting, which proved both interesting and entertaining. Elmer A. Carter, secretary of the St. Paul branch as the first speaker, outlined the work of the Urban league in this city since its inception more than a year ago. Mr. Carter said that in order to improve the economic and industrial conditions of the migrants a survey and study of the community in which the largest number live is necessary. T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary of the Chicago Urban league and organizer of the league branch here, gave a short talk and cited instances of the workings of the league in Chicago. Eugene K. Jones, the principal speaker of the evening, gave a very interesting talk on the work of the league in many of the large cities and explained the difference between the Urban league and the N. A. A. C. P. Others Program. "The Urban league does not offer a paneacea for the various interracial ills," said Mr. Jones, "but it does offer a program. It purposes to make colored people the best possible citizens that can be made. In all our work we try to see both sides, always inviting the co-operation of the white people. It is my belief that 'Jim Crow' people make 'Jim Crow' conditions. Therefore new migrants are a problem. One can estimate just how great is the problem when 5,500 males have migrated to Chicago since January 1. "If the people do not use the facilities placed here by organizations tending to improve conditions the time will come when they will not be able to," said Mr. Jones. Several selections by the choir alternated by the speeches and a vocal solo, "Tis June," by Mrs. Hattie Oliver, composed the program, which was concluded with a plea for membership by Rev. L. W. Harris. E. K. Jones Honored At Union University Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban league, was honored by Virginia Union University at its annual commencement held on Thursday, June 5, when the Degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on him "in recognition of his efficient public service and leadership in social work." This was the third LL. D. degree which the University has conferred since its establishment 25 years ago. Mr. Jones, who is now 38 years of age, was graduated from Virginia Union in 1906 and received his Master's Degree in the social sciences from Cornell University in 1908. He is the son of the late Prof. J. E. Jones, who for 46 years was, Professor of Church Polity and Homilies at Virginia Union, and Mrs. Rosa Kinckle Jones, teacher of music at Hartshorn College, Richmond. Mr. Jones taught for a term at the State University, Louisville, Ky., and served two years as teacher at the Central High School, Louisville, Ky., assuming his duties in charge of the work of the Urban league in New York during April, 1911. At the 25th anniversary exercises of the Virginia Union University held on June 4, Mr. Jones delivered an address on "A Review of 25 Years in Work of Social Development," in which he outlined the work of Union graduates in social service since the establishment of the school. Mr. and Mrs. James Smith, who have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Smith of Waterloo, Iowa, arrived home last week.

As a befitting tribute for its fifty-five years of service devoted to the uplift of the community, citizens of the Twin Cities will join with the various congregations in a program lasting the entire week. Early in 1869 St. James' church was organized and is the oldest church founded by our group in the state of Minnesota then occupying a site on the East Side of Minneapolis, known as St. Anthony Falls. Since its origin, thirty-two pastors have guided its destinies and built a solid foundation which has remained steadfast for fifty-five years. The present pastor, Reverend Carlyle Stewart, assumed the pastorate in October, 1921. Under his supervision the church has made a steady march toward prosperity. A heavy mortgage has been lifted, membership doubled and a noticeable increase in attendance, all noteworthy achievements accomplished by Reverend Stewart in less than three years. Part of the success is attributed to a seven-day social program. Diversified Program. On Sunday the anniversary sermon will be preached at 3 P. M. by Rev. H. L. P. Pones, pastor of St. James' A. M.

It is fitting that we as a group shall be concerned not with the party but with the candidates themselves. The time has long since passed where the Negro can be counted as the sole possession of a single political party. For fifty years the Negro voter as a group supported the Republican party because of its historical contribution to his development. Whatever debt he owed that party has been paid in full with interest. The support of the Negro in the future will be directed to those men who give proof of their sincere and earnest desire to see that he is treated as a citizen in all that citizenship in this commonwealth implies. We urge upon the Negro voters of Minnesota the careful study of the records of the candidates of all parties. Do not be swayed by the cheap banalities of the curbstone orator who receives his stipend for his services. Do not be lured by the promises of menial positions at the Capitol for the brief period of ninety days. We will not be content with promises. We will not accept cheap jobs as payment for our support. We have men and women competent to hold positions of responsibility in the state government. We have a right to share in the distribution of patronage, and we are entitled to positions worthy of the dignity and intelligence of the thousands of Negro voters of this state. The increase in our population as a result of the migration of Negroes from the South is increasing the potentiality of the Negroes as a political factor. In a close election the Negro vote will decide the result. We hope the various candidates are aware of this very salient fact. For the temper of the Negro is to support those men who prove to be the friends of the Negro. Who's Who! Fourth District Sunday School Conference Y. W. C. A. Notes.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: Your editorial of June 14, entitled "What Will They Do?" stated very definitely one of the problems confronting the race and especially the problem of the college youths. To quote: "Today all over the land thousands of colored boys and girls stand at the gates of hundreds of institutions of learning ready to go out into the world. "What will they do? The avenues of employment are being steadily closed. The opportunity to work at any mental occupation is denied only the specially honored. The great mass of our youth stand ready but the chance is not there." Your statement lays before the youths a condition which they must face. But what they will do must be determined by the youths themselves. There are two courses open to them; one is to be so attentive to our limitations that opportunities seem but passing shadows; the other is to be so busy creating opportunities that limitations fade into oblivion. The former leads to pessimism and ultimately a losing out in the contest. The latter leads to the position of creative leadership and makers of history, to whom posterity shall forever sing praises and strive to be like. Were I permitted to change the query from "What will they do?" to "What should they do?" I would say, that they, because of their technical training, should create opportunities, and give birth to chances where they are not. As soon as we become a race of positive creators, we shall ascend from the depths of disrespectibility and humility which has be-clouded our path since the rise of this Caucasian civilization.

For the past nine months Mrs. Burton had been a patient sufferer of an incurable malady. Rev. Burton was attending the Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota Sunday school and B. Y. P.

Friends viewed the body Thursday morning at Lyles Mortuary Chapel, where it lay in state prior to being shipped to Davis, Okla., the home of Mrs. Burton's parents. Rev. Burton and Dr. Branch of Kansas City accompanied the remains to their last resting place. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to Rev. Burton in the hour of his bereavement. Iowa "U" Dentist May Locate Here The latest acquisition to professional circles in the Twin Cities is Dr. R. H. Harris, who arrived here Tuesday morning. Dr. Harris received his degree of D. D.

E FOR HILDREN MINNEAPOLIS PROVIDES HOME FOR CONVICTS' CHILDREN Sophie Lyons, Former Criminal, Leaves Fund. Detroit, Mich.—A perpetual trust fund, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to the establishment of a home for children whose parents are prison inmates, is created under the will of Sophie Lyons Burke, former international confidence woman, who dled here recently. The will, discovered in a safe deposit vault, drilled open in the presence of court attaches, does not indicate the amount to be devoted to the creation of the home, but leaves the residue of Mrs. Burke's estate to that purpose after numerous bequests to relatives and friends. In providing for the children's home, the will specifies that any child between two and four years of age, one or both of whose parents may be a prison inmate, shall be eligible to admittance to the home. Provision also was made for 375 annual subscriptions to a popular weekly periodical to be distributed among prisons throughout the country. Mrs. Burke, who gave up a career of crime to preach observance of the law and the futility of crime, left an estate valued variously at from $150,000 to $300,000, mostly in Detroit real estate, where she made her fortune by investing and speculating in land. When the safe deposit vault was opened it was found to contain besides numerous deeds and other papers, considerable jewelry knotted in the bottom of an old stocking. The jewelry was estimated to be worth $25,000, and included one ring set with 12 diamonds, which was identified as the engagement ring given her by "Jimmy" Burke when the couple were at the height of their career.

New Pneumonia Serum May Cut Deaths One-Half Boston.—Discovery of a new treatment for pneumonia in the form of an improved serum which it is thought may reduce the death rate from this disease by 25 or possibly 50 per cent, was described by Dr. Lloyd D. Felton, assistant professor of preventive medicine at the Harvard medical school, in an address at the New England Health institute. The treatment consisted, he said, of a method of precipitating and concentrating the antibodies in anti-pneumococcus serum. The original serum, which has been known for some time, was weak, he added, and its value was diminished by the fact that it produced violent reactions in the form of chills, serum sickness and rashes.

Page 4 (© 1924, Western Newspaper Union.) WARD seven had just one empty bed, and that was not likely to remain empty long. The big hospital was generally overcrowded. Nurse Bascombe moved from bed to bed on night duty, speaking a few words to the patients, smoothing their bedclothes, turning the helpless ones on their other side. The senior surgeon, Gerald Wickham, watched her as she moved. At thirty-five Nurse Bascombe was as graceful as a girl. Next in line for matron. He had known her for several years. There had been a time, two years before, when he had asked her to marry him. He had felt almost confident of success, but she had refused him as gently as she did everything. "Is it hopeless?" he asked. "I'm afraid so." "You can never care?" Somehow she escaped answering that question. A wonderful woman, with a mystery in her life, every one agreed. Something unusual had brought that gentleness, that poise to her. Never ruffled, never upset, she was a tower of strength to the senior surgeon. He watched her. They had remained good friends since she had refused him—good friends, but nothing more. Very tactfully she had let him see that his hope was destined never to be fulfilled. Her whole life was given up to her work. He had accepted her decision. . . A stir without. They were bringing a patient into the ward. The matron came in advance, came up to Wickham. An accident. A man badly crushed by a truck. There was no hope, no use to think of operating. They were bringing him in just as he was. A flithy tramp, exhaling the odor of bootleg whisky. A low, degraded face which yet bore the stamp of former breeding and decency. Better that such a creature should pass out in that unconsciousness which had already mercifully supervened. The screen was drawn. The orderly was stripping the rags off the newcomer. A flannel nightgown was put over the mangled body. He was lifted into the bed. Nurse Bascombe turned back the sheets. She folded them over again. A sudden indrawn hiss of her breath. The senior surgeon looked at her in surprise. Her face was deathly white, her body rigid. Only for a moment. Next instant she was herself again. "Nothing can be done for him," said Wickham. "He won't live through the night. You've been overdoing it, nurse. Better let Nurse Braham watch by him." "No, I'll stay here," she answered. His duties called him away. He was gone an hour when the word came that the bed in ward seven was likely to be empty soon. He went back. Nurse Bascombe still sat by the dying man. She was bending over him, looking into his face. Wickham came and stood silently beside her. It was a matter of minutes now. The breath was hardly perceptible, the pulse imperceptible. Suddenly, however, the dying man opened his eyes. He seemed to recognize them, the eyelids fluttered, the lips parted—then the head fell back on the pillow. The senior surgeon stooped over him, and then drew the sheet over his head. "Is he identified?" he asked. "Nothing has come about him." An orderly came forward. Behind him walked a policeman, treading the floor uncomfortably. The orderly whispered to the surgeon, who drew back the sheet for a moment. "That's him." The policeman nodded. "Guess that's the best thing could have happened to him." "You wanted him?" "Wanted him for months. Seven years ago he killed and robbed an old man and got away with it. We got on his trail again. I guess that's the best thing." When he was gone Nurse Bascombe gripped the surgeon's wrist fiercely. "He was—my husband," she said in a fierce, strained voice. "Do you understand—everything?" And with a little sigh she collapsed into his arms, unconscious. But a great happiness was being born in Wickham's heart. That Quieted Them The only son had just announced his engagement to his family. "What? That girl! She squints!" remarked his mother. "She has absolutely no style," added his sister. "Red-headed, isn't she?" queried his aunt. "She's stuck up!" assented his sec d cousin. "She's an extravagant thing!" interposed his third cousin. "Well, she has one redeeming feature," said the son thoughtfully. "And what's that?" asked the family in chorus. "She hasn't any relations," was the quiet reply—Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph. SAVE WILD FLOWERS IS ANNUAL APPEAL "Nature Lovers" Asked Not to Despoil Woods. Washington.—Help save the wild flowers—especially the dogwood! Each spring an appeal is being made to the chivalry and thoughtfulness of the public in behalf of America's vanishing and defenseless wild flowers. For some obscure reason there are countless Americans of both sexes who would scorn to attack the little animals of the woods and fields, but who do not hesitate to wage relentless warfare on the flowers. When spring trustingly sends out the most delicate blossoms these thoughtless "nature lovers" go out to pluck, tear and cast aside. Clumps of pale-colored bowers that made a picture in their original setting of grass, trees and sky soon lose their freshness when carried off in bouquets. Most people know this. Yet toward the close of a spring Sunday every suburban road every street car is strewn with wilted flowers tossed aside by tired holiday makers. Despoil Spring Beauty. These flowers might have bloomed for another week to give pleasure to many more people. But that is not the real tragedy of the wild flowers. The worst of the situation is that in so many cases the flower pickers are permanently despoiling the beauty of spring. Take the dogwood, for instance. This is not a tiny plant to be easily pulled up by children. It is a tree, generally about the size of a fruit tree. Yet the dogwood is being more ruthlessly destroyed than any other native tree or plant. Botanists say that at the present rate of destructiveness the native American dogwood will be extinct within twenty-five years. The Wild Flower Preservation society, which campaigns every year to save the American flowers, emphasizes one particular plant each spring. This year dogwood is given the spotlight because it is so rapidly disappearing. The dogwood tree is one of the most beautiful trees that can be found, and it is a native American. It once grew in our woods in profusion, and the common flowering variety is still found from Canada to Florida along the Atlantic coast and quite far to the west. Anotier variety grows along the Pacific coast. It is a rather sturdy tree, resistant to disease and adaptable to a variety of growing conditions. When the wild dogwood blooms in early spring the tree becomes a mass of white. Each white petal has a distinctive notch in the edge which makes the dogwood blossom one of the most attractive motifs for artistic design. The so-called blossom, by the way, is not really the flowers of the tree at all. The white petals are technically called bracts or the involucre. They are only modified leaves. The flowers are the little bunches of light green which cluster in the center of the white involucre. Dogwood Blossoma Perishable. A dogwood tree in bloom against a background of other foliage transforms any country road or garden. The same may be said of the dogwood when it bears its crop of red berries in late autumn. At both seasons the dogwood branches seem to shriek, "Carry me home," to the country tourist. At least, that is how he—or she—interprets the message of the tree. The result is, generally, that the passer-by goes up to the tree and tears off a few sprays. The tearing process strips down the bark, leaving open wounds. If the wounds are large fungus disease may set in and the tree may die. This happens only too often. The Wild Flower Preservation society is urging motorists and hikers to enjoy the dogwood on the tree, carry away a mental picture of it in all its freshness, and leave it for others to enjoy. If branches must be taken home, they should at any rate be cut clean with a sharp knife, so as to avoid injury to the tree. That so much dogwood is destroyed is particularly unfortunate because the sprays are so perishable that the cut branches are of little use. Florists know how to pack them in moss, but the Sunday excursionist simply trails along in the hot sun with the branches over one arm, or else he lays them down in a jolting, dusty automobile. The white petals become brown and crushed, and once faded cannot be revived. There are a number of wild-life preserves on which the wild flowers, as well as animals, birds, and insects, receive protection. These shut-off areas, each covering from 50 to 500 acres, are guarded by watchmen, to make sure that the flowers and wild creatures have a chance to grow and multiply unharmed. Spezia, Italy.—Earthquakes need no longer cause loss of life, according to Professor Caselli, seismologist, who claims to have constructed an apparatus, already patented, whereby earthquakes are announced at least 15 minutes before they occur. The scientist also claims to be able, with very slight possibility of error, to locate beforehand the centers of telluric phenomena, their intensity and the situation of their most intense manifestations. Signor Caselli's telluric prophesies for last March, which were deposited with a notary here some time in advance of the expected disturbances, were confirmed by subsequent events.
