Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal

THE BULLETIN-APPEAL IS REVIVED BUTLER SELECTS W. MATHEWS TO LEAD CAMPAIGN Chicago, Ill., Sept. 18.—William Clarence Matthews of Boston has been selected by William M. Butler of Massachusetts, chairman of the Republican National Committee, to direct the racial program for the campaign of 1924. Matthews is functioning with Monroe Mason of Boston, editor of the Blue Helmet, as his secretary. Matthews, senior member of a leading firm of lawyers in Boston, with offices in the famous Old South building, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute and Harvard College, and a former U. S. District Attorney, is regarded as eminently qualified to fill the responsible position given him. Matthews is statesman-like in handling political matters. He plays the game for advantage, but never forgets the highest and best interests of his people. This is a highly essential quality in political leadership. With the appointment of Matthews, an entire adjustment of political activities is made. He plans a business-like, scientific campaign in which young men and new blood are to be given equal opportunity with the experienced campaigners of the past. The line-up now is as follows: Director, William G. Matthews, Boston, Mass., with headquarters at Chicago. Secretary to Matthews, Monroe Mason, Boston. Chairman of Western Division, William T. Francis, Minnesota, vice-chairman; assistant, George W. Lee, Tennessee. Chairman of Eastern Division, Charles E. Mitchell of West Virginia; Vice-Chairman, Robert L. Vann, Pennsylvania. Director of Women's Division, Miss Halle Q. Brown, Ohio. Secretary, Mrs Camille Cohen-Jones. National oCommitteeman, Georgia, Henry Lincoln Johnson. National Committeewoman, Georgia, Mrs. G. S. Williams, National Committeeman, Mississippi, Perry W. Howard. National Committeewoman, Mississippi, Mrs. W. P. Booze. The following are members of the board of strategy: Emmett J. Scott, Washington; Robert R. Church, Memphis, and Robert L. Vann, Pittsburgh. The Republican National Committee The Republican National Committee is down to brass tacks in the matter of dealing with the racial voters of the country. They are not endeavoring to fool themselves or any one else into the belief that the votes of colored America will rush up to the polls without any understanding and vote the Republican ticket. They are proceeding on the sensible and practical basis that Colored voters must be given good and sufficient reasons, as all other voters, why they should support the Republican party. This manner of dealing with the voters will, in itself, have a direct appeal. It shows the type of recognition that colored citizens desire and, incidentally, the type being accorded by other parties, including the Democrats and Progressives. 1924-1925-2006. 9. Chicago, Sept. 17.—William C. Matthews, General Organizer, Colored Division, Republican National Committee, has returned from an extended trip East, and reports a strong sentiment in our group for Coolidge. At a banquet in New York City, 36 of the leading Negro journals from various sections of the country were represented and each pledged their hearty co-operation, and assured Mr. Matthews that from now on their columns will be devoted to the success of Calvin Coolidge. JACK JOHNSON SPEEDS; DUCKS UNLUCKY 13 Aurora, Ill., Sept. 18.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, asked Judge Strubler of Naperville to increase his fine and costs for spending from $13.95 to $14 to escape the "unlucky 13." The judge did it. Johnson admitted he was doing 65 miles when taken in, but said it was on account of the weather. Jack said, "On a damp day like today you can't hold automobiles in." Selected for G.O.P. Important Post J. C. W. T. Francis, St. Paul attorney, and recently elected Grand Master of Minnesota Masons, has received an important appointment at the hands of the National Republican Committee. The sentiment, universally expressed, is that Mr. Francis is entitled to this recognition, having devoted his entire career, from a political standpoint, to the support of the Republican party. Active in preclinic and ward politics when but a young man, he became a member of the State Republican State Central Committee and was one of the presidential electors for Minnesota in the Harding Campaign. From an educational standpoint Mr. Francis is a product of Minnesota, where the public schools and college facilities are unequalled, and was for many years in the Legal Department of the Northern Pacific Railway, as Chief Clerk and Assistant Counsel. He is a prominent member of the Ramsey County Bar Association and prominent in civic affairs as well as church, fraternal and social circles. That Billy Francis deserves success is the universal sentiment. He is held in the highest esteem by the citizens of both races. HILL COMMENDS MILHOLLAND FOR RACE UTTERANCE The utterance of John E. Milholland at the grave of his daughter, the late Inez Milholland (Mrs. Eugene Boissevain), on the occasion of the tribute to her memory by the Women's National Party, with regard to the right of the Negro to take part in the service because of the consistent and unchangeable stand of Miss Milholland in favor of equal rights for all, has brought many letters of commendation and approval to the brave and courageous man who was not afraid to protest an unjust and uncalled for discrimination against the colored men and women who had made the long journey to his mountain home to join in memorializing the dead woman's life and activities. John Louis Hill, a southern born white man, author of a book that has aroused much favorable discussion, "When Black Meets White," has written Mr. Milholland as follows: COPY The Hotel Martinique, 32nd Street and Broadway, New York, August 20. 1924. Mr. John E. Milholland, Meadowmount, Lewis, N. Y. Dear Sir: For years I followed with deep interest and great admiration the career of your distinguished daughter, the late Inez Milholland (Mrs. Eugene Bolsevain). It was fitting that delegates of the National Women's Party should hold a memorial service for a leader so great as was your daughter, whose effective leadership was devoted to the genuine progress of society, regardless of race or class, standing always upon the immoveable platform of the common Fatherhood of God, brotherhood of humanity, and equal rights vouchsafed to all by the Con- (Continued on Page 4) Donald Brown, student of the University of Minnesota, won the singles championship of the Northwest and the trophy presented through the courtesy of the St. Paul Urban League after a gruelling battle with Herbert Smith, the veteran local player, on Labor Day at the Twin City Tennis courts.

Earnest support was pledged to encourage new subscriptions and payment of subscribers' obligations in order that running expenses might be met. Now that we have realized what a colored weekly of the high standard adopted by the Bulletin-Appeal means to our city, and having keenly felt the want of it since its suspension, shall we not, each and every one, contribute towards its support, moral and financial? Be less generous with criticism and more hearty with your support than in the past, and the satisfaction and benefits derived by you and the Bulletin-Appeal, mutually, from its continuance, will be both manifest and manifold. DEFECTIVE PAGE National Baptist Convention Closes Chicago, Sept. 17.—William T. Francis, Chairman, Western District, Colored Division, Republican National Committee, returned from the National Baptist Convention, U. S. A., at Nashville, Tenn., and reports that personal contact with the seven thousand delegates and visitors in attendance from all parts of the United States shows an abiding faith in Coolidge and Dawes among the Negroes of this country. Mr. Francis also stated that the Convention, in its "Address to the Public," expressed its appreciation and thanks to President Coolidge for his broad and unequivocal stand on the right of Colored Americans to hold political office at the will and sufferance of their constituents, and that a special telegram of endorsement was sent to President Coolidge by the Convention in reply to a personal letter from the President to the Convention. Nashville, Tenn.—The National Baptist Convention, U. S. A., closed session here on Monday night. The general opinion is that this was the most successful meeting in the history of the Organization, and is the opening of a new day in the Baptist denomination. President L. K. Williams, the greatest religious organizer of the race, demonstrated his wonderful ability by presenting an interesting and constructive program showing the possibilities of the organization for helpful uplift without as well as within its religious scope. In the lands and under the guidance of President Williams, who was unanimously re-elected, the great power of more than three millions of Negro Baptists will be utilized to its fullest extent. The new publishing building at Nashville is a Monument to the race. BROWN WINS TWIN CITY TENNIS TROPHY REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE M. That Calvin Coolidge is the greatest and best President this country has had since Lincoln and Roosevelt is the verdict of the great majority of Republican voters. President Coolidge is a remarkable man. The strength developed by him in primary elections in every state where delegates to the national Republican convention were chosen by primaries is almost unprecedented. His nomination to succeed himself was thus assured, making the work summate skill and steadiness. Donald Brown is from Minneapolis and is a familiar figure on the courts of the Twin Cities. Mrs. Mary Williams and Mr. Percy L. Turner are new members of the Bulletin-Apcal's Minnesota office. of the convention nothing more than a ratification of the verdict already rendered at the polls. His success was by no means sectional, for his popularity was just as marked in sections where he was believed to be unpopular as in those in which he was conceded to be popular. He is exceedingly popular with Colored Americans. "Coolidge and Party Loyalty" will be the slogan of the Republican campaign. Miss Edith Haskins, a senior in Central high school, returned from a happy visit among friends and relatives in Kansas City, Mo. While in the city she will reside at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George Barnett, 3421 Oakland Ave. A. M. E. BISHOP SAYS SUPPORT CAL. COOLIDGE A. M. E. BISHOP SAYS SUPPORT CAL. COOLIDGE Bishop W. D. Johnson of the A. M. E. church, presiding over the state of Texas, visited Philadelphia helping to compile the discipline. Upon being asked to state his position on the political question, Bishop Johnson spoke out strongly for President Coolidge. Said he: "Our people should be interested in that candidate who, if elected, will defend their constitutional rights against all attempts at abridgement or other hostile influence. Among the various candidates for the presidential office, I think none more deserving than our present chief executive, and it is for him that I urge every voter to cast his ballot. There are three reasons that prompt me to make this statement. First, Mr. Coolidge's fairness and honesty. I think that among the great array of rulers and leaders today intrusted with power, there is none who can surpass Mr. Coolidge in honesty of purpose, in courage, or in high devotion to the welfare of his country. Second, in his advocacy of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, and also the attitude of the Republican party against lynching in general. Every intelligent voter ought to know that any man or party anxious to reduce, if not abolish lynchings and mob rule is worthy of support. Third, I am in favor of supporting the Republican nominee because no other party has done as much for our people as the party in power. From the time the colored man emerged from slavery up to the present moment—every worthwhile privilege granted him, can be traced directly or indirectly to the instrumentality of the Republican party. Among all the organizations that constantly laud their efforts in behalf of our country's welfare, the only one that ever made "Free Men" one of its mottoes is the Republican party. Whatever amendments and federal laws we have today protecting the rights of the colored man, we are indebted to the Republican party for these grants; and I firmly believe that any colored man or woman failing to support Mr. Coolidge in the coming election, would not only be ungrateful for blessings received but expose himself to new and additional hardships." Lawyer Wins $40,000 Case in Florida Court Jacksonville, Florida, Sept. 18.— In June, 1919, A. W. Cockrell, Jr., a prominent white lawyer of Jacksonville, Florida, instituted suit against S. D. McGill, a recognized colored attorney of the same city. The suit was to recover what was claimed to be a reasonable fee for legal service rendered in a previous suit. Two suits were filed, one on the Law side and one on the Chancery side. Each suit was for twenty thousand dollars. The McGills refused to pay the fee charged, on the grounds that the amount was unreasonable. When the Chancery suit was heard in the circuit court, the findings were in favor of the white attorney for the fee claimed, twenty thousand dollars. McGill, dissatisfied, appealed the case to the supreme court, which dismissed the bill on the grounds that there was no equity in it—Victory No. 1. The case at Law was next heard in the lower court with the same results as the case in Chancery. The supreme court was again appealed to, and the decision of the circuit court was reversed on the grounds that it was excessive and insecure. Victory No. 2. The McGillis are to be congratulated upon their success in winning this notable case. Many similar cases have been brought by Negroes throughout the South and most of them have closed against the side of fairness and justice, because no one persisted as did Attorney McGill. I think now the people of St. Paul are thoroughly convinced that we need a paper.—Dr. V. D. Turner. PRICE: FIVE CENTS JOINS ST.PAUL IN ROYAL WELCOME TO LEGION HOSTS St. Paul is literally in bloom with the national colors in honor of the former service men. Everything was all set when Commander Quinn's gavel fell Monday morning at 9:30 at the Municipal Auditorium. The Leslie Lawrence post and the women's auxiliary were well represented. Monday at the St. Francis Hotel Mrs. Gilbreath and Mrs. Manning acted as hostesses, and at the Capitol Miss Jeska Oden, Mrs. Gilbreath, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Ester, officers of the auxiliary, were among the active participants. Tuesday at the St. Francia Headquarters, Mrs. Mondell and Mrs. Harris were hostesses. On Tuesday evening at the dinner held at the Masonic Temple, Attorney George W. Hamilton, Jr., commander of the post; Miss Jeska Oden, president of the Ladies' Auxiliary; Mrs. Grice, Mrs. Lenora Brown and Mrs. Almee Hall were among those to represent the post. Wednesday the Twin City Tennis Club gave a pretty dancing party at Union Hall in honor of the visiting Legionaires. At the Town and Country Club a reception was held in honor of the Gold Star Mothers and Oversea Nurses. Mrs. Sable Bridges is the Gold Star Mother from the St. Paul auxiliary. Thursday at the Legion headquarters, Mrs. Alimee Hall, Mrs. Lenore Brown, officially represented the auxiliary. Friday the information bureau of the American Legion was under the direct supervision of the Leslie Lawrence post and Ladies' Auxiliary. Mrs. George W. Cross, national delegate of the auxiliary from Denver, was the guest of the local auxiliary president, Miss Jeska Oden, 672 St. Anthony avenue. Mrs. W. T. Francis was a member of the group of hostesses at the brilliant tea in honor of the Gold Star Mothers at the University Club, Summit avenue. Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. I. Taylor of Detroit, a Legion visitor, was the guest of Mrs. Francis. The Everywoman Progressive Council was invited to be one of the committee of Outside Organizations which has so efficiently dispensed hospitality among the Legionaires during the past week (under the leadership of Mrs. J. P. Keam of the St. Paul Association). The Council was also a part of the Auto Supply Committee. Mesdames W. G. Hood, Nora Covington and W. T. Francis represented the Everywoman Progressive Council at the brilliant opening reception at the State Capitol Monday evening. Attorney Elected to High Court Office Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 18. -Selpio A. Jones, prominent colored attorney of Little Rock, Arkansas, was elected as Special Chancellor in the Pulaski chancery court, Arkansas, the second highest court in that state, on Saturday, August 30. This is the first time in the history of the South, so far as is known, and possibly in the Pitted States, that such an honor has been paid a Negro lawyer. Mr. Jones has had an eminently successful career as a member of the Arkansas Bar, his outstanding achievement being the successful defense of the victims of the Phillips County, Arkansas riots of October, 1819; in which cases Mr. Jones was the principal attorney of the N. A. A. C. P. These cases were fought doggedly by Mr. Jones through all of the Arkansas courts and through the United States supreme court, where he was associated with Mr. Moorfield Storey. These cases, it will be remembered, established a new precedent in American legal procedure in that the decision gained in the United States supreme court acted not only as a reversal of the Arkansas court but, in effect, was a reversal of the supreme court itself. Page 4 FINDS RADIO WAVE SLOWER THAN LIGHT FINDS RADIO WAVE SLOWER THAN LIGHT Navy Astronomer Offers an Amazing New Theory. San Francisco, Cal.—The discovery that the radio wave travels slower than light was announced by Capt. J. J. See, professor of mathematics in the United States navy, government astronomer at Mare Island navy yard, and well known authority on the theory of ether. According to Captain See the radio wave travels around the globe with a velocity of 165,000 miles a second, while light travels 186,000. Captain See considers that his discovery in the velocity of the propagation of the radio wave about the earth may prove the most notable step in the development of the wave theory since Roemer's original discovery of the velocity of light in 1675. Outline of Theory. An outline of the chief conclusions communicated to the London Times is condensed below: "1. The mean velocity of the wireless wave was found to be about 175,000 miles per second. This figure is about 13,000 miles per second less than that of light, but ten years ago we did not suspect the cause. "2. In March last a wireless signal was sent from the sending station near New York to Warsaw, Poland, and reflected back in 0.054 of a second of time. The double distance is 8,500 miles, and the transmission comes out about 158,000 miles per second. "3. The mean of the two independent determinations of the wireless wave is 165,500 miles per second. "4. What is the cause of this? The aetheron or particle of ether is only one-four thousandth part as large in diameter as the hydrogen molecule, so that compared to ordinary molecules of the size of oranges the aetherons would be like smoke from a cigar, and moving with a velocity of 294,000 miles per second. The wave travels through the solid earth as well as through the air and free space above the air, but is much resisted in the solid globe. As the ether is 689,321,600,000 times more elastic than air in proportion to its density—thus almost infinitely elastic—the medium cannot suffer a break in its continuity, yet the movement above the earth is held back by the slower movement of the wave in the earth. The resistance in the globe thus acts as a drag on the wave at its base. The result is that the wave bends around the earth, as long known yet heretofore not generally understood. "5. This bending is quite analogous to the change of form of water waves as they run ashore—the top of the wave gains on the base. "The results are of interest in connection with the wave theory of magnetism and the cause of universal gravitation, because they bear on the cause of the fluctuation of the moon's mean motion." Insanity More Frequent Among College Students Washington.—Going to college is among the dangerous occupations, according to information presented before a joint conference of the National Research council and the Personnel Research federation by Dr. Donald A. Laird, associate professor of psychology at Colgate university. One man out of every 1,400, between the age of twenty and twenty-four, goes insane, according to the latest census reports, while only one woman out of 1,800 of the same age loses control of her reason. Doctor Laird has found that among college students the incidence of mental disorder is much higher, being one out of every 1,000 of students in the colleges he studied. "There may be more mental breakdowns among college students," Doctor Laird said, "because they live a competitive intellectual existence, and any mental handicap is quickly noticed." Gives Antitoxin Forcibly to Cut Diphtheria Lebanon, Pa.—Having forcibly administered antitoxin to members of the faith tabernacle, a cult of faith curers, local health authorities are hopeful of checking the spread of diphtheria, which in three weeks has caused the deaths of nine persons. All the victims were members of families of the faith tabernacle and all, the authorities declared, had been denied medical attention. Five of the deaths occurred in the family of Mrs. Charles Roth, her husband and four children dying since April 21. One of the children died while the funeral of another was being held. Mrs. Roth had refused medical treatment for her family. She and four surviving children were inoculated, although she would not give verbal consent, but submitted without protest. Find Bones of Miocene Mammal in California Bakersfield, Cal.—What are believed to be the most complete portions ever discovered of a squalodet, a mammal that existed in the Miocene age from one-half million to two million years ago, have been found by Charles Morrice, a student of prehistoric life, on Shark Tooth mountain, near the Kern river oil fields. Reconstruction of the squalodet, Morrice said, has been made in Germany, Australia and England from much less portions of the mammal than he has found. (© 1924, Western Newspaper Union.) "S THAT your little daughter up- stairs!" I asked the Ewings. **Stairs:** I asked the Ewing. Next moment I regretted having asked that question. An expression of incredulity came on Ewing's face, of pain on his wife's. "There's no child upstairs," muttered Ewing. I said no more. It was at the dinner table, and one can't flatly contradict one's host. I had never been in the Ewing house before. They were new friends of mine, though afterward they became dear ones. They had a big, old-fashioned home in the country, and after we had met at the beach hotel they invited me with them to spend the week end. I had understood they had no children. Some neighbor's child, or perhaps a servant's, I supposed, who had strayed in. Only—here was the odd thing—there were toys scattered everywhere about the big, well-lit room that I had strayed into. A child's room. Had they lost a little one? That might account for it. A servant's child, no doubt—the Ewings kept five. It had been a tactless remark that I had made. But what a lovely child! And how radiantly she had smiled at me when she turned her head at my entrance. I had wanted to caress her, to smooth the fair hair flying about her shoulders. But I am shy with children. And then the little one had been so busy with her toys, playing, after that first, smiling glance at me, as if she had not seen me, or had forgotten me. She played so nicely, too. She put the blocks so quietly one on top of the other. I had anticipated some delightful hours with her, for I am fond of children. And I had quietly withdrawn to my room and washed for dinner, and then gone down, to ask that tactless question. I saw reproof in the eyes of old Aunt Mary, a formidable dowager, a sister of Mrs. Ewing. The other guests—three of them—did not seem to see anything queer in the situation. Aunt Mary and I had a little talk that night. After a while I was encouraged to speak of my tactlessness. "But whose can the child have been?" I asked. "They lost a child," she answered. "You mean—?" I was horrified. "Yes. Others have seen her sometimes, playing up there. Mr. Ewing obstinately asserts that it is all imagination, but I think he believes it too. His wife has never seen her, and that's what breaks her heart. She only hears of her from others." "You believe that?" "Didn't you see her?" I had no more to say. Aunt Mary continued: "It is very pitiful and tragic. You see, the parents were rigid disciplinarians. They brought her up in the mistaken idea that children must be forced to obey. And little Doris was willful. And obstinate. They tried to break her will. They whipped her. They thought they were doing right by her. The mother whipped her the day before she was taken ill with scarlet fever—whipped the obstinate little thing and sent her supperless to bed. Ten days later she was dead. "She thinks the reason why she has never seen her is because she whipped her. It nearly kills her when others say they have seen her. Mr. Ewing, as I said, pretends not to believe. Don't say another word—" "No. I'm sorry I blundered into this," I answered, still half-incredulous. "Have you seen her?" "Oh, yes, heaps of times, but she never seems to notice—just goes on playing with her toys. They left that room just as it was after she died." When I left Aunt Mary Mrs. Ewing came up to me in a hesitant sort of way. "You—you know now?" she whispered piteously. "Yes, I know, and I'm so sorry," I answered. "She was a dear, beautiful little girl." "If I could see her—only once," moaned the mother. "I knew her secret sorrow, of course, but I couldn't let her know what Aunt Mary had told me. "If I could believe she's happy—" "Why," I sald, "her smile was radiant!" "Her smile!" She looked at me earnestly. Then a smile came on her own face—a smile of utter happiness, just like the little girl's. "Her smile? It is the first time she has been seen smiling. I shall be happier now." I know how much that means to her. Missing "By the way," musingly asked Professor Pate, "what has become of the grand marshal of the day, who used to wear a broad red sash over one shoulder and down across his palpitating abdomen, with its fringed ends flapping, and rode on the top side of a tall and snorting steed alongside of the parade, cavalcade, or whatever the ballyho was called, and galloped up to its head and dropped back, and so on, all the while giving orders to which nobody ever seemed to pay the slightest attention?—Kansas City Star. COMMISSION ON RAIL HELPING SOUT GERMAN MAN POWER LOST BY EMIGRATION Population Cut 6 Per Cent Since 1913. Berlin.-Germany had 6 per cent less population at the beginning of 1924 than it had at the beginning of 1913, according to the estimates of the German statistical office. The total population is now placed at 63,500,000. An analysis of the figures shows the decrease in man power has been more marked than the general decline. There are now 7 per cent fewer men between the ages of fifteen and sixty-five, and the number of able-bodied men between twenty and forty-five has been dropped 13 per cent. Also the proportion of children under ten has dropped from 38 per cent to 18 per cent. Emigration is making violent reductions in population of the very character that Germany needs most for reconstruction. Discussing the migration of the sturdiest of Germany's young farmers, industrial workers, tradesmen and technicians, Doctor Berger, counselor to the cabinet on subjects relating to emigration, says Germany's ability to reconstruct itself speedily is being undermined by the flight to the new world. While he does not advocate the restriction of emigration, he suggests that the social condition of the working class must be raised so as to make it more inviting for the workers to remain in Germany. New York.—Noblemen have fared no more handsomely than did three young German stowaways who were entertained aboard a shipping board vessel after it arrived from Bremen Cherbourg and Southampton. The youths dined in state upon the choicest things from the ship's larder. At the head of the table sat Victor X de Caro, ship's purser, who directed the service of the banquet, and who will foot the bill. Thirty-one years ago De Caro himself began his sea career as a stowaway. At fourteen, the son of a Spanish diplomat in Rome, he set out for Marselles with a companion. There they hid aboard a German square-rigger and reached San Francisco with brushes on their bodies and dispositions. De Caro, a genial man, whose black hair is streaked with gray, recalled the hardships of that first voyage in a day when life at sea, particularly for a stowaway, was not attended by modern amenities. He declared he could think of no more fitting way to celebrate his thirty-first anniversary at ses than by being host to such as he was when fourteen years old. De Caro speaks eight languages and in a talented raconteur. Death Toll 13.000.000 London.—Between 12,000,000 and 13,000,000 people in India died during the influenza epidemic in the winter of 1918, it is revealed by the Indian census of 1921. The population in 1924 was 818,942,480, an increase of 1.2 per cent over the 1911 census, but it is several points under the 1918 estimated census, due to the epidemic. There are about 9,000,000 more males than females in India, and much headway in education, especially among females, is shown by the 1921 census. In religious beliefs the Hindus number 686 out of every thousand of the population. Mohammedan adherents number 217 a thousand, Buddhist 37, tribal religions 31 and Christians 15.

Although the carbonic atom weighs a billionth billionth of one hundredth of a milligram and is ten billion times smaller than the smallest object perceivable through a microscope. Mignon showed that it was possible not only to weigh it but to analyze its constituents by a process of "ionizing." Through this process, the atoms are charged with electricity, which accelerates the speed at which they revolve, thereby permitting an analysis of comparative calculations of their speed with respect to their weight. The importance of the discovery is that possession of the tiniest particle of any substance now permits correct analysis of the whole. In such a way Matignon analyzed a cubic centimeter of air, proving that it contained one millionth of a cubic centimeter of helium. COMMISSION ON RACE SOLUTION IS HELPING SOUTH, SAYS R. E.

Atlanta, Ga., June 28.—"The movement for the promotion of good will, mutual confidence and co-operation between the dominant races in the South is regarded by many as the most significant of its kind since the Emancipation," said Bishop R. E. Jones of New Orleans, La., eminent clergyman, in his report to the recent general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church in session in Springfield, Mass. Expressing pleasure in the opportunity to co-operate in this movement, Bishop Jones gave the following survey of its spirit and work: "We have found in the South a group of white men and women who are sincere and courageous in their desire for justice, equity and peace for all men. The movement began as one of our after-the-war necessities. At first faith was small, vision dim, hope uncertain, but the work grew until now out of 1,000 counties in the South, 800 or more are duly organized with joint committees rep- HARLEM FIREMAN WINS PRAISE IN NEW YORK New York, June 28.—Wesley Williams, Manhattan's only colored fireman, came in for praise last week when he thrillingly rescued a white woman and two children in a big fire at No. 49 Essex street. Williams is attached to Engine Company No. 55, and lives at 226 West 138th street. At the regular meeting, June 22, at the Masonic Hall, Minneapolis, the North Star Consistory No. 14, Valley of Minneapolis, Ancient and Accepted Free Masonry of the Northern Jurisdiction, held their annual election of officers: Frederick D. McCracken, Ill. Commander-in-Chief; Chas. Brodie, 1st Lieut. Commander-in-Chief; Jefferson Taylor, 2nd Lieut. Com.; Lewis Grant, Lieut. Com.; J. C. Gray, Treasurer; Byron S. Riffle, Sec. MUSICIANS JOBLESS New York, June 28.—When Federal Dry Agents closed nine of New York's best known cabarets for one year in "The Great White Way" district recently, they made a combination known as the Thompson-Salvin chain, valued at $1,000,000, practically worthless. Besides stopping the flow of bootleg liquor that had gone on unmolested, more than 2,500 persons were thrown out of employment, among them many colored musicians and entertainers. MRS. BOOZE IS ELECTED TO NAT. REP. COMMITTEE Cleveland, Ohio, June 28.—Mrs. Mary C. Booze of Mound Bayou, Miss., was elected as a Republican Committeewoman here last Thursday from Mississippi. She is said to be the first race woman to be thus honored and will serve with Hon. Perry W. Howard, Assistant Attorney General of the United States, who has been elected committeeman. The honor was conferred upon Mrs. Booze resenting both races. There is a central office at Atlanta with Dr. W. W. Alexander, a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, as director. Most of the states have full time interracial secretaries. Some of the states have two secretaries, one white and one colored. "The organization of the woman's department of the commission on interracial co-operation has brought to light fine heroism on the part of the women. These women have added strength, dignity and confidence to the commission. There has been opposition in some quarters, misgivings in others, lack of interest in others, but the movement still goes forward with confidence and intelligence. This ideal of promoting a better understanding on the basis of co-operation and a more adequate appraisal of human values will strengthen our national government and its reaction will be felt throughout the world." because of her distinguished ability and marked capabilities as a leader in her state. She was not at the convention. GIVE DIAMOND MEDAL TO 50-YEAR PORTER Birmingham, Ala.—Richard Rather, 70, upon being called to the head offices of the Louisville and Nashville railroad this week, was presented with a gold service button set with ten diamonds and a letter of commendation for having completed fifty years' continuous service with the company. He was also placed on a pension. Jewelry for Bride or Graduate on Credit. Markson's Jewelry Co.

MATHEWS TO LEAD CAMPAIGN Chicago, Ill., Sept. 18.—William Clarence Matthews of Boston has been selected by William M. Butler of Massachusetts, chairman of the Republican National Committee, to direct the racial program for the campaign of 1924. Matthews is functioning with Monroe Mason of Boston, editor of the Blue Helmet, as his secretary. Matthews, senior member of a leading firm of lawyers in Boston, with offices in the famous Old South building, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute and Harvard College, and a former U. S. District Attorney, is regarded as eminently qualified to fill the responsible position given him. Matthews is statesman-like in handling political matters. He plays the game for advantage, but never forgets the highest and best interests of his people. This is a highly essential quality in political leadership. With the appointment of Matthews, an entire adjustment of political activities is made. He plans a business-like, scientific campaign in which young men and new blood are to be given equal opportunity with the experienced campanners of the past. The line-up now is as follows: Director, William G. Matthews, Boston, Mass., with headquarters at Chicago. Secretary to Matthews, Monroe Mason, Boston. Chairman of Western Division, William T. Francis, Minnesota, vice-chairman; assistant, George W. Lee, Tennessee. Chairman of Eastern Division, Charles E. Mitchell of West Virginia; Vice-Chairman Robert L. Vann, Pennsylvania. Director of Women's Division, Miss Hall Q. Brown, Ohio. Secretary, Mrs Camille Cohen-Jones. National oCmitteeeman, Georgia. Henry Lincoln Johnson. National Committeeewoman, Georgia, Mrs. G. S. Williams. National Committeeewoman, Mississippi. Perry W. Howard. National Committeeewoman, Mississippi, Mrs. W. P. Booze. The following are members of the board of strategy: Emmett J. Scott, Washington; Robert R. Church, Memphis, and Robert L. Vann, Pittsburgh. The Republican National Committee is down to brass tacks in the matter of dealing with the racial voters of the country. They are not endeavoring to fool themselves or any one else into the belief that the votes of colored America will rush up to the polls without any understanding and vote the Republican ticket. They are proceeding on the sensible and practical basis that Colored voters must be given good and sufficient reasons, as all other voters, why they should support the Republican party. This manner of dealing with the voters will, in itself, have a direct appeal. It shows the type of recognition that colored citizens desire and, incidentally, the type being accorded by other parties, including the Democrats and Progressives. 1924-1825-Prudh. 9. Chicago, Sept. 17.—William C. Matthews, General Organizer, Colored Division, Republican National Committee, has returned from an extended trip East, and reports a strong sentiment in our group for Coolidge. At a banquet in New York City, 36 of the leading Negro journals from various sections of the country were represented and each pledged their hearty co-operation, and assured Mr. Matthews that from now on their columns will be devoted to the success of Calvin Coolidge. JACK JOHNSON SPEEDS; DUCKS UNLUCKY 13 Aurora, Ill., Sept. 18.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, asked Judge Strubler of Naperville to increase his fine and costs for speeding from $13.95 to $14 to escape the "unlucky 13." The judge did it. Johnson admitted he was doing 65 miles when taken in, but said it was on account of the weather. Jack said, "On a damp day like today you can't hold automobiles in." 3 Mar. 28 Bkg. Krengel Selected for G.O.P Important Post W. T. Francis, St. Paul attorney, and recently elected Grand Master of Minnesota Masons, has received an important appointment at the hands of the National Republican Committee. The sentiment, universally expressed, is that Mr. Francis is entitled to this recognition, having devoted his entire career, from a political standpoint, to the support of the Republican party. Active in precluct and ward politics when but a young man, he became a member of the State Republican State Central Committee and was one of the presidential electors for Minnesota in the Harding Campaign. From an educational standpoint Mr. Francis is a product of Minnesota, where the public schools and college facilities are unequalled, and was for many years in the Legal Department of the Northern Pacific Railway, as Chief Clerk and Assistant Counsel. He is a prominent member of the Ramsey County Bar Association and prominent in civic affairs as well as church, fraternal and social circles. That Billy Francis deserves success is the universal sentiment. He is held in the highest esteem by the citizens of both races. HILL COMMENDS MILHOLLAND FOR RACE UTTERANCE HILL COMMENDS MILHOLLAND FOR RACE UTTERANCE The utterance of John E. Milholland at the grave of his daughter, the late Inez Milholland (Mrs. Eugene Boisseval), on the occasion of the tribute to her memory, by the Women's National Party, with regard to the right of the Negro to take part in the service because of the consistent and unchangeable stand of Miss Milholland in favor of equal rights for all, has brought many letters of commendation and approval to the brave and courageous man who was not afraid to protest an unjust and uncalled for discrimination against the colored men and women who had made the long journey to his mountain home to join in memorializing the dead woman's life and activities. John Louis Hill, a southern born white man, author of a book that has aroused much favorable discussion, "When Black Meets White," has written Mr. Milholland as follows: COPY The Hotel Martinique, 32nd Street and Broadway, New York, August 20, 1924. Mr. John E. Milholland, Meadowmount, Lewis, N. Y. Dear Sir: For years I followed with deep interest and great admiration the career of your distinguished daughter, the late Inez Milholland (Mrs. Eugene Boissevain). It was fitting that delegates of the National Women's Party should hold a memorial service for a leader so great as was your daughter, whose effective leadership was devoted to the genuine progress of society, regardless of race or class, standing always upon the immoveable platform of the common Fatherhood of God, brotherhood of humanity, and equal rights vouchsafed to all by the Con- (Continued on Page 4) THE NORTHWESTERN Resumed after suspension since July 5 ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1924 National Baptist Convention Closes Chicago, Sept. 17.—William T. Francis, Chairman, Western District, Colored Division, Republican National Committee, returned from the National Baptist Convention, U. S. A., at Nashville, Tenn., and reports that personal contact with the seven thousand delegates and visitors in attendance from all parts of the United States shows an abiding faith in Coolidge and Dawes among the Negroes of this country. Mr. Francis also stated that the Convention, in its "Address to the Public," expressed its appreciation and thanks to President Coolidge for his broad and unequivocal stand on the right of Colored Americans to hold political office at the will and sufferance of their constituents, and that a special telegram of endorsement was sent to President Coolidge by the Convention in reply to a personal letter from the President to the Convention. Nashville, Tenn.—The National Baptist Convention, U. S. A., closed session here on Monday night. The general opinion is that this was the most successful meeting in the history of the Organization, and is the opening of a new day in the Baptist denomination. President L. K. Williams, the greatest religious organizer of the race, demonstrated his wonderful ability by presenting an interesting and constructive program showing the possibilities of the organization for helpful uplift without as well as within its religious scope. In the lands and under the guidance of President Williams, who was unanimously re-elected, the great power of more than three millions of Negro Baptists will be utilized to its fullest extent. The new publishing building at Nashville is a Monument to the race. BROWN WINS TWIN CITY TENNIS TROPHY Donald Brown, student of the University of Minnesota, won the singles championship of the Northwest and the trophy presented through the courtesy of the St. Paul Urban League after a gruelling battle with Herbert Smith, the veteran local player, on Labor Day at the Twin City Tennis courts.

DEFECTIVE PAGE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE CAMPAIGN That Calvin Coolidge is the greatest and best President this country has had since Lincoln and Roosevelt is the verdict of the great majority of Republican voters. President Coolidge is a remarkable man. The strength developed by him in primary elections in every state where delegates to the national Republican convention were chosen by primaries is almost unprecedented. His nomination to succeed himself was thus assured, making the work summate skill and steadiness. Donald Brown is from Minneapolis and is a familiar figure on the courts of the Twin Cities.

His success was by no means sectional, for his popularity was just as marked in sections where he was believed to be unpopular as in those in which he was conceded to be popular. He is exceedingly popular with Colored Americans. "Coolidge and Party Loyalty" will be the slogan of the Republican campaign.

While in the city she will reside at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George Barnett, 3421 Oakland Ave. A. M. E. BISHOP SAYS SUPPORT CAL. COOLIDGE A. M. E. BISHOP SAYS SUPPORT CAL. COOLIDGE Bishop W. D. Johnson of the A. M. E. church, presiding over the state of Texas, visited Philadelphia helping to compile the discipline. Upon being asked to state his position on the political question, Bishop Johnson spoke out strongly for President Coolidge. Said he: "Our people should be interested in that candidate who, if elected, will defend their constitutional rights against all attempts at abridgement or other hostile influence. Among the various candidates for the presidential office, I think none more deserving than our present chief executive, and it is for him that I urge every voter to cast his ballot. There are three reasons that prompt me to make this statement. First, Mr. Coolidge's fairness and honesty. I think that among the great array of rulers and leaders today intrusted with power, there is none who can surpass Mr. Coolidge in honesty of purpose, in courage, or in high devotion to the welfare of his country. Second, in his advocacy of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, and also the attitude of the Republican party against lynching in general. Every intelligent voter ought to know that any man or party anxious to reduce, if not abolish lynchings and mob rule is worthy of support. Third, I am in favor of supporting the Republican nominee because no other party has done as much for our people as the party in power. From the time the man emerged from slavery up to the present moment—every worthwhile privilege granted him, can be traced directly or indirectly to the intransportability of the Republican party. Among all the organizations that constantly laud their efforts in behalf of our country's welfare, the only one that ever made "Free Men" one of its mottoes is the Republican party. Whatever amendments and federal laws we have today protecting the rights of the colored man, we are indebted to the Republican party for these grants; and I firmly believe that any colored man or woman failing to support Mr. Coolidge in the coming election, would not only be ungrateful for blessings received but expose himself to new and additional hardships." Lawyer Wins$40,000 Case in Florida Court Jacksonville, Florida, Sept. 18.—In June, 1919, A. W. Cockrell, Jr., a prominent white lawyer of Jacksonville, Florida, instituted suit against S. D. McGill, a recognized colored attorney of the same city. The suit was to recover what was claimed to be a reasonable fee for legal service rendered in a previous suit. Two suits were filed, one on the Law side and one on the Chancery side. Each suit was for twenty thousand dollars. The McGills refused to pay the fee charged, on the grounds that the amount was unreasonable. When the Chancery suit was heard in the circuit court, the findings were in favor of the white attorney for the fee claimed, twenty thousand dollars. McGill, dissatisfied, appealed the case to the supreme court, which dismissed the bill on the grounds that there was no equity in it—Victory No. 1. The case at Law was next heard in the lower court with the same results as the case in Chancery. The supreme court was again appealed to, and the decision of the circuit court was reversed on the grounds that it was excessive and unreasonable. Victory No. 2. The McGillis are to be congratulated upon their success in winning this notable case. Many similar cases have been brought by Negroes throughout the South and most of them have closed against the side of fairness and justice, because no one persisted as did Attorney McGill. I think now the people of St. Paul are thoroughly convinced that we need a paper.—Dr. V. D. Turner. PRICE: FIVE CENTS JOINS ST.PAUL IN ROYAL WELCOME TO LEGION HOSTS JOINS ST.PAUL IN ROYAL WELCOME TO LEGION HOSTS St. Paul is literally in bloom with the national colors in honor of the former service men. Everything was all set when Commander Quinn's gavel fell Monday morning at 9:30 at the Municipal Auditorium. The Leslie Lawrence post and the women's auxiliary were well represented. Monday at the St. Francis Hotel Mrs. Gilbreath and Mrs. Manning acted as hostesses, and at the Capitol Miss Jeska Oden, Mrs. Gilbreath, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Ester, officers of the auxiliary, were among the active participants. Tuesday at the St. Francis Headquarters, Mrs. Mondell and Mrs. Harris were hostesses. On Tuesday evening at the dinner held at the Masonic Temple, Attorney George W. Hamilton, Jr., commander of the post; Miss Jeska Oden, president of the Ladies' Auxiliary; Mrs. Grice, Mrs. Lenora Brown and Mrs. Almee Hall were among those to represent the post. Wednesday the Twin City Tennis Club gave a pretty dancing party at Union Hall in honor of the visiting Legionaires. At the Town and Country Club a reception was held in honor of the Gold Star Mothers and Oversea Nurses. Mrs. Sable Bridges is the Gold Star Mother from the St. Paul auxiliary. Thursday at the Legion headquarters, Mrs. Aimee Hall, Mrs. Lenore Brown, officially represented the auxiliary. Friday the information bureau of the American Legion was under the direct supervision of the Leslie Lawrence post and Ladies' Auxiliary. Mrs. George W. Cross, national delegate of the auxiliary from Denver, was the guest of the local auxiliary president, Miss Jeska Oden, 672 St. Anthony avenue. Mrs. W. T. Francis was a member of the group of hostesses at the brilliant tea in honor of the Gold Star Mothers at the University Club, Summit avenue. Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. I. Taylor of Detroit, a Legion visitor, was the guest of Mrs. Francis. The Everywoman Progressive Council was invited to be one of the committee of Outside Organizations which has so efficiently dispensed hospitality among the Legionaires during the past week (under the leadership of Mrs. J. P. Keam of the St. Paul Association). The Council was also a part of the Auto Supply Committee. Mesdames W. G. Hood, Nora Covington and W. T. Francis represented the Everywoman Progressive Council at the brilliant opening reception at the State Capitol Monday evening. Attorney Elected to High Court Office Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 18.—Scipio A. Jones, prominent colored attorney of Little Rock, Arkansas, was elected as Special Chancellor in the Pulaski chancery court, Arkansas, the second highest court in that state, on Saturday, August 30. This is the first time in the history of the South, so far as is known, and possibly in the United States, that such an honor has been paid a Negro lawyer. Mr. Jones has had an eminently successful career as a member of the Arkansas Bar, his outstanding achievement being the successful defense of the victims of the Phillips County, Arkansas riots of October, 1849; in which cases Mr. Jones was the principal attorney of the N. A. A. C. P. These cases were fought doggedly by Mr. Jones through all of the Arkansas courts and through the United States supreme court, where he was associated with Mr. Moorfield Storey. These cases, it will be remembered, established a new precedent in American legal procedure in that the decision gained in the United States supreme court acted not only as a reversal of the Arkansas court but, in effect, was a reversal of the supreme court itself.

No man of intelligence will deny that a newspaper is a necessary and indispensable organ for the expression of the sentiments of a people. There is hardly a community in America, no matter how small, which does not boast of a newspaper of some kind. In a modern world it is only through the columns of the newspapers that the people can express their hopes, their aspirations, their desires. It is through the medium of the newspaper that they voice their protests and articulate their disapproval of men and measures which they believe are inimical to their interests. For the past few weeks the colored people of the Twin Cities have been without the medium of a newspaper to represent them and their activities. We believe that the Bulletin-Appeal has been sorely missed by those who were accustomed to receive it each week. Our office has been besieged by a storm of protests, by an avalanche of interrogations. Where is the paper? Why did you stop publishing it? When will you begin again? For the first time many of those who looked upon the paper as an institution began to realize what it would mean to be without one permanently. The Bulletin-Appeal again is on the press. But it cannot exist without the support and the whole support of every class of colored people in this community. We need the advertisements of the business and professional men; we need the subscriptions of the householder. We are prone to get our news second handed, to borrow our friend's paper or to hear our neighbor tell what was in the paper last week. But if we really are desirous of being known as a progressive community; if we think ourselves to be an intelligent and advancing group up here in the Northwest, we will support a newspaper and prove to the world that we are. For every worthy thing in life we must pay. A newspaper is one of the indications of progress, but the price of progress is united and unselfish support of those institutions and forces which are our representatives to the outside world. NO TIME FOR POLITICAL EXPERIMENTING We must stand four square for the election of Calvin Coolidge for President, because not only of the danger that the election of Democracy should give to our further progress as American citizens, but because especially Calvin Coolidge stands for that further progress of our group as equal American citizens. Not only by clarion word, but by striking deed he has proven his friendship. Before Coolidge became President, during the Boston police strike, he stood for the appointment of scores of colored policemen to the Boston police force, and he sustained them under fire in their equal rights as loyal guardians of the law. As Vice-President, Calvin Coolidge stood for the inclusion of the famous Black Company L as an integral unit of the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment. As President, he vindicated not only the race's political rights as a citizen, but as an office holder in the famous Walter L. Cohen case, whom he pressed forward to confirmation in the United States Senate—against the combined opposition of Southern Democrats and Northern colored cowards—and Walter L. Cohen is today the collector of customs. District of Louisiana. President Coolidge has not only made further appointments, he has not only kept in office North and South those colored officials bequeathed to him by the Harding administration, but he broke new political ground in the appointment of an all-colored commission to the Virgin Islands. President Coolidge by his ringing pronouncements has in so many words adopted the square-deal Theodore Roosevelt policy toward his colored fellow citizens. The black voters of the nation, if they love their country, if they have a concern for their own cause, as a matter of self-preservation, must rally to the polls November 4th as one individual and elect the entire Republican ticket. This is no time for colored citizens to trifle or experiment with the Socialists, Progressives, or any other helpless and hopeless minority party. Such a vote is not only wasted, but, in truth, is a half vote for your eternal and infernal enemy, the National Democratic party. Vote for Coolidge and Dawes.—New York News.

On leaving his victim he remarked, "You will note, kind sir, that I have refrained from blacking both of your eyes. Many a thug wouldn't have been so thoughtful, but would have beaten you up worse than I did. Here is my address. I think that you will appreciate that you owe me a debt of gratitude. Remember, I blacked only ONE of your eyes." And the poor man, full of gratitude for his eye which had been left unblacked, mailed to the thug all of his life's savings and expressed the wish that he might have had more. Hon. L. C. Dyer, the faithful author of the Anti-Lynching bill, has urged that all colored people vote for the Republican Party. This is exactly what Mr. Dyer, a Republican, should do. But he has further offered, as a reason, that the colored people owe the Republican Party a debt of gratitude and that those who do not vote the G. O. P. ticket convict themselves of base ingratitude. Undoubtedly we have something for which we should thank the Republican Party. Some of our rights have been left. One eye has been left unblackened... But the standard of measuring that for which we should be grateful is not how much one party has done in comparison with what another party has done... but how much has been done as compared with what should have been done under the existing circumstances. An intelligent colored voter may vote for the Republican Party in the coming election, but his reason for so doing will not be that he feels so grateful to the party that allowed the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill to be defeated, or that has allowed governmental discrimination to remain, but that he is choosing the least of three evils—The Washington Daily American.

PAUL PROUD HOST St. Paul is in gala attire and its citizens have universally adopted the carnival spirit and festival attitude to entertain the American Legion National Convention.

CHANDLER OWEN URGES VOTERSTO USE JUDGMENT CHANDLER OWEN URGES VOTERSTO USE JUDGMENT Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 18. Speaking here under the auspices of the East Side Mothers' Club, Editor Chandler Owen of New York City, gave his audience a veritable education in political economy as he explained, "Why Every Man Should Sell His Vote." The well known scholar advised that our vqters throughout the country consider themselves members of a "multiparty" which would enable them to vote for selected candidates of any and every party, according to the candidates' special fitness for the office sought. "Some candidates of each party" said the speaker, "are flirting with the Ku Klux Klan for their support and it is up to the Negroes in their respective district to study the personality of each seeker for office regardless of the party to which he or she belongs. The Ku Klux Klan practices many cunning tricks to fool our people and put others to sleep while they steal full control of municipal, county, state and federal governments. Even Marcus Garvey, he said, "is an instrument in the hands of the K. K. K. to rid this country of the American Negroes." Concluding his lecture, the speaker exclaimed, "Your vote in this country should be just as valuable to you as any other earthly possession and you must not permit any man to take it from you without worthwhile consideration, which should be nothing less than full rights for you and your race and everything else the Constitution guarantees to American citizens, regardless of race, color or creed." Art of Listening Is Most Essential SaysAubreyLyles "A comedian's greatest requirements?" Aubrey L. Lyles, the diminutive member of Miller & Lyles, the team of comedians starring in George White's novelty success, "Runnin' Wild," which is at the Metropolitan Opera House next week, paused to think a moment before answering. After due deliberation Mr. Lyles said, "I think the most essential and the hardest thing for a comedian to learn is the art of 'listening.' This is especially true in the case where two comedians are working together. Many a line that is a sure laugh producer has been spoiled by the desire of one partner to help another. Minute things are what usually hurt. A movement of the hand, a grimace, a movement of the hand, a grimace, a the head will at times smother a laugh." "In 'Runnin' Wild' during the St. Paul snow scene there is a bit that is a good example of what I mean. Miller, my partner, discovers a ham hanging on a wall. He turns to me, not saying a word, with his eyes aglow and grin from ear to ear. I merely say 'Yeh?' and Miller responds with 'A-huh.' Ordinarily this is one of the biggest laughs in the show. Of course it is dependent solely on Miller's by play. The other night we reached the scene and everything was running along serenely until I gave Miller the cue for his 'A-huh.' As he started to answer me I sort of lost my balance and bent over considerably. Consequently the laugh wasn't forthcoming. My moving on Miller's line had distracted the audience's attention and the laugh was lost—and laughs, like hours, once lost can never be regained." Every one is on the qui vive looking forward to the appearance in the city of the popular musical comedy, "Runnin' Wild." The production is said to rival "Shuffle Along," and has just completed big engagements in Chicago, Duluth, and Minneapolis. Miss E.

C., Sept. 18.—One year ago 30,000 people stood in the streets of Washington and 20,000 more followed the flag-draped casket of Colonel Charles Young as it was borne on a calisson from Union Station to its final resting place in Arlington cemetery. Colonel Young graduated from West Point, was the highest ranking colored officer in the United tSates Army and the first of the race ever to reach the rank of colonel. General Pershing and many other military commanders had spoken of him as an excellent soldier. He was a hero of the race and regarded by many as a martyr, due to the fact that he was disqualified from service at the time when every one felt he should have been placed in command of one of the colored regiments which went over seas. Colonel Young died in Sierra Leone, West Africa, while on a scouting expedition in connection with his services as American military advisor in the Liberian government. His body was brought home by special steamer and Arlington cemetery officials said it was the largest individual funeral ever held there. No Stone Marks Grave. Today the grave, unmarked except for a wooden slab, can be seen on Arlington hill overlooking the Potomac river and facing the homestead of Frederick Douglass in Anacostia. Many persons believe that some imposing stone had been erected to mark the spot. When a reporter passed the place yesterday he noted only the wooden marker and nothing more.

The only definite information secured showed that Raymond was born in San Antonio, December 1, 1897, so there is no record of his birth certificate filed in San Antonio. MAKING IT HARD FOR BANK CROOKS MAKING IT HARD FOR BANK CROOKS How the Nation's Bankers Are Banded Together in War on Crime—The Great Crook Trap and the Way It Works. By JOHN OAKWOOD The slick gentry who have been wont to walk into banks and mesmerize paying tellers into giving them good cash for worthless checks have recently become aware of the fact that their operations are daily growing more difficult. Crooks who have operated with apparent immunity for years have suddenly found themselves caught in the meshes of what amounts to a nation wide crook trap. To show how effectively this is now working, one of the biggest figures among the worthless check operators, a man who claims to have defrauded dozens of banks and realized more than $300,000 from his operations, recently fell into the toils of the trap. Realizing that he was hopelessly caught, he made a complete confession. This trap is conducted by the Protective Department of the American Bankers Association, which includes in its membership more than 22,000 barks that are thus leagged in a perpetual warfare against the army of bank crooks scattered throughout the nation. structured to take steps to detain him in the bank. Early the next afternoon the telephone rang in the detective office and a message came from a third bank that they thought the man was in its lobby. Three detectives rushed to the bank in an automobile which had been held continuously in waiting. A Dramatic Arrest A dramatic illustration of the workings of the association's detective department was recently staged in MAD He presented a counter check on the bank for $75.60, together with a deposit slip filled in for $20.60. He also presented a second deposit slip for $3, proffering with it $2 in currency. He told the teller that he wanted to deposit the two items, that is, $3 in cash and $20.60 out of the check, to the credit of his wife, explaining that he had forgotten to bring her book but would return with it later. His cash and the check were accepted, totaling $78.60. From this sum his wife's supposed account was credited with $23.60, the total of the two deposit slips, and he was given $55 cash in change. After the man left the bank the teller became suspicious due to his prolonged failure to return as he had promised with his wife's deposit book. On investigation the check he had left was found to be worthless. The bank communicated with the local detective office of the association, giving a complete description of the man. Later that same day the detective office received another report from a second bank that it had been similarly defrauded by a man answering the description given by the first bank, Steps were at once taken to set a trap for him should he attempt further operations. All surrounding banks were warned that he was in the vicinity and a complete description was given them of his appearance and of his mode of operating. They were advised to have their tellers and guards on the lookout and to communicate at once by telephone with the detective office in case anyone appeared in their lobbies who seemed to answer to the description of the man wanted. They were also in- Buffalo, N. Y., resulting in the sudden downfall of a pair of check swindlers and terminating a year's successful operations in some fifteen cities in various sections of the country. The pair began their operations in Buffalo in the middle of January, one of them appearing at the special savings account window of a bank there. Letters to the Editor It is fitting that we as colored citizens support enthusiastically an organ that is capable of dealing with the issues and presenting our side of important questions to the extent that others will know that we have those who are able to champion our cause, and as Pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church I heartily endorse the paper and am willing to support it and encourage others to do likewise.—Rev. L. W. Harris. It is necessary that we have some organ not only to keep in touch with each other, but to advertise the interests of the people of the community.—George W. James. The progress of our business enterprises have suffered materially by the absence of the Northwestern Bulletin. We all now realize a Negro newspaper is a valuable asset to a community.—Frederick D. McCracken. A newspaper is more than a news agency. It is primarily a molder and leader in civic life. Without it any community is fearfully handicapped.—Arthur V. Hall. Glad to know that the Bulletin-Appeal is before the public again. You have my support.—Mrs. Julia Billi-ups, 578 Grand avenue. Realizing the fact that the Bulletin-Appeal is the official organ of the community, I am glad to see it come before the public again.—Aty. Geo. W. Hamilton. structed to take steps to detain him in the bank. Early the next afternoon the telephone rang in the detective office and a message came from a third bank that they thought the man was in its lobby. Three detectives rushed to the bank in an automobile which had been held continuously in waiting. Two of the detectives covered the entrances of the bank and the third went into the lobby. He at once noticed a short, well dressed man pocket. Assigns of his putting up a flight, the detective grappled with him and called to his two associates at the doors to arrest the other man whom he had noticed as he entered. After a short struggle the two men were overpowered. When the larger of the two was searched a torn check was found in his pocket, made out in the same writing as the two that had been successfully passed the day before. A number of similar checks all prepared for use, were also found on his confederate. When confronted by the tellers of the banks who had been victimized the day before, the leader was readily identified. The two prisoners were hopelessly ensnared, admitted their guilt and in their hotel rooms were found a large number of checks, deposit slips and pass books of banks in various cities. Similar quick action of the bank crook trap in Boston terminated the career of another check forger who had been operating successfully in the New England states. The banks which he had victimized notified the American Bankers Association with the result that all other banks in the territory were warned against him and were put on guard. Therefore, when he walked into a Boston bank to continue his operations he walked into a trap as he was immediately recognized and nabbed by the officers there. These are only two instances of many that have recently taken place in various parts of the country. Some of these arrests have brought into the toils of the authorities some of the slickest operators in this line in the country and from them have been learned the details of the way bank crooks operate, placing in the hands of the detective department the means to put banks on guard against further depredations. standing at one side and watching. the line of people at the tellers' windows. In the line he noticed a large man, answering the description of the bad check operator he was seeking.

KLAN TRIES TO PLACE CRIME ON NEGROES Waukegan, Ill., Sept. 18.—A man was found one day last week in a deserted old farmhouse branded with the letters, K, K. K., gagged and blindfolded. Alleged Klansmen in the vicinity have been very active in denying accusations as to having committed the crime. After several days' investigation, in apparent co-operation with officials of the county, it is now claimed that the crime was committed by Negroes. It is alleged by the Klansmen that the man is said to have had $360 in his pockets and that it is believed a gang of Negroes robbed the man and then branded him in an effort to conceal the crime. WOMAN, MAN SLAIN IN MURDER MYSTERY Sloux City, Iowa, Sept. 18.—(Special to The Freeman).—A mysterious double murder was uncovered here Saturday, when the bodies of a woman, believed to be Emma Johnson, 35 years old, formerly of Denison, Iowa, and a colored man were found in a cheap apartment which the woman rented last Monday. Their throats had been cut and there were evidences that the woman had been beaten. It is believed the pair had been dead three or four days. Police believe the motive for the crime was jealousy on the part of a former sweetheart of the woman. MAN 81 YEARS OLD HOLDS DOWN TWO JOBS Galithersburg, Md., Sept. 18.

Robbers!" shrieked a woman at the Pennsylvania railroad terminal in this city, causing a furor among the crowds waiting for trolleys. When officers went to her aid the woman said she had been robbed of $1,500. Then she described a small handbag which she had temporarily placed on the sidewalk while waiting for a car. A general alarm was given and the police throughout the state were told to be on the lookout for such a bag. At Palma, a few miles from this city, Emma Walker, a race woman of Burlington, was on a trolley car speeding toward her home when she was awakened from her reverie by an officer taking a handbag she held. Policeman Roger asked her to step off the car and when the bag was opened Emma's eyes bulged, for the bag was filled with green backs. She was greatly surprised, but her pleasure changed when she was told to return with the officer to Camden. There Mrs. Rowan was waiting. Then it developed that the woman had been standing at the same point with identical handbags. When Mrs. Walker's car came along she reached down and took what she thought was her's, but it happened to be Mrs. Rowan's.

ISN'T LARCENY TO TAKE WATCH FROM A CORPSE Baltimore, Md., Sept. 18.—According to an attorney representing George Atkins, who was tried in the criminal court Saturday, a man does not commit larceny when he steals from a corpse. The prisoner is charged by witnesses with stealing the watch of the late John Parker as he lay dead in the parlor of his home on Gough street. After Atkins had paid his respects the dead man's nephew, William J. Taylor, said the watch was missing, also a watch chain. Police officials who testified, stated that they found Atkins in the act of pawning the timepiece in a local pawnb shop. WIFE TALKED TO NEGRO; MAN GOES ON RAMPAGE Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 18.—When Garfield Moore, aged 25 years, looked out his kitchen window and saw his beautiful young wife talking to a colored man standing in the alley, he lost control of himself and went on a rampage, and rushed upstairs and destroyed what he supposed in his haste to be his wife's wardrobe by cutting dresses and other wearing apparel into shreds with a penknife. Moore discovered his grave mistake when he was haled into court the next morning by Miss Maggie Welsh, a roomer at the Moore home, on the charge of having destroyed her clothes. Judge Mahaffrey gave Moore a suspended sentence of 30 days in the workhouse and a fine of $50 and costs on condition that he pay for the damage incurred. Moore, his wife and Miss Welsh are white.

N. Shepherd. FALLACIES MET WITH FACTS Declares People Will Make Short Shrift of Those Who Deceive Them When Aroused to Truth of Own Interests. Three great misrepresentations, by which certain politicians have advanced their own interests at the expense of public welfare, were recently declared by F. N. Shepherd, Executive Manager, American Bankers Association, in an address at Kansas City, Missouri, to be the oft-repeated statements that "Wall Street" owns the corporations, that the Federal Reserve Banks discriminated against agriculture and defiated the farmers, and that there are seven billion dollars of "water" in railroad capitalization and rates should be reduced accordingly. In regard to the alleged ownership of the corporations by "Wall Street," Mr. Shepherd showed that the securities of American corporations are very widely held by the people. The Union Pacific, he pointed out, has over 50,000 stockholders and the Pennsylvania Railroad 147,000 stockholders, 67,000 of whom are women, with an average ownership of 47 shares each. The American Telephone and Telegraph Company has 200,000 stockholders, 120,000 of whom are employees, and the United States Steel Corporation has 174,000 stockholders. According to a recent report of the Interstate Commerce Commission, he said, Class I railroads have a total of 777,132 stockholders, there being, therefore, practically as many owners of shares as there are employees. "The real capitalists of America," continued Mr. Shepherd, "are these and the bondholders whose funds are invested in securities through their thirty million savings accounts, and through their ownership of over 71 million life and industrial insurance policies. Once arouse these people to the fact that it is their interests which are being attacked through these misrepresentations and they will make short shrift of those who deceive them. Truth About the Federal Reserve "As to the Federal Reserve System, instead of its discriminating against the farmer, exactly the opposite is true. During the period of greatest decline in the value of agricultural products, about which there has been so much loose talk, rediscounts with Federal Reserve banks in non-agricultural districts actually decreased by 28 per cent, but in agricultural districts rediscounts were actually increased by 56 per cent. The Federal Reserve Banks of the big cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Cleveland poured into other Federal Reserve Banks in agricultural districts literally hundreds of millions of dollars. Tel. South 7954 W. SQUIR FUNERAL Successor to O. A. LAWRENCE has been offered, that, in considera- capitaliza- en are still particularly "As to the alleged seven billions of 'water' in the railroads, a physical valuation of the railroad properties has been under way for the past ten years, as a result of the La Follette Act, conducted by a body of unprejudiced, non-political experts by whom the valuation has been placed at $18,900,000,000. Although it has been officially stated, and reiterated, that, in arriving at this figure, no consideration whatever was given to capitalization, politically-minded men are still deceiving the public, and particularly the farmers, about the 'water' in the railroads. Railroad stock today is not watered. Any possible fair scheme of valuation today proves that our railroads are worth from one to two billion dollars more than their capitalization. No Railroad Income Guarantee "Further, demagogues are telling people that the railroad income is guaranteed. The Esch-Cummins Act does not guarantee any return to railroad stockholders, as the demagogues constantly assert. By its terms the Act simply provides a yard stick for rate making, which is that a fair railroad rate is one which would show a return of $5% per cent upon the actual value of the property used in transportation in a given territory. "This provision bears no relation whatever to railroad capitalization and, moreover, no relation to individual railroads, some of which might show earnings under such a rate-making provision in excess of six per cent, and some much less. No consideration whatever is given in the Act or in the administration of the Interstate Commerce Commission to railroad capitalization or any return upon it." Words of objection on the part of the farmer against the middleman often are in vain, but the farmer who raises on his own acres all that his table requires, the year round, places himself in a position where he is largely independent of the middleman. Often the remedy for many objectional conditions lies in our hands. What Facts Tell MIDDLEMAN'S PROFITS.

I am surprised that occasion arose at the memorial service which inevitably called forth your noble manifestation of loyalty to the memory of your daughter and the humanitarian principles incarnated in her life and her heralded by her career. You could not have done otherwise and be true to her and to multi-millions of both racial groups in our country who are striving for the establishments of right relationship between all peoples and who in their hearts will deeply approve your action. Though personally unknown to you, being a southerner by birth and training, and a northerner by twenty years of residence, with my life dedicated to the cause of one common humanity in the racial complexity of our country, I wish to congratulate you upon your words which through the press have been known to millions and can but result in good to all the people.

J., Sept. 18.—Two alleged bunco men tackled the wrong person when they attempted to play a bunco game on Rev. D. D. Pongar, pastor of the Friendship Missionary Baptist church, 315 Norfolk street. They gave their names as James Link, 20 Longworth street, and Gus Wicker, Plane street. For their mistake in picking a minister of the Gospel the men are serving 30 days in jail. The two showed the clergyman what they said was a large roll of bills, but what in reality was a bundle of paper with a $1 bill on the outside. They wanted the minister to put what money he had with theirs and show them a safe place to bank the whole amount. Becoming suspicious, Pongar called Traffic Officer Plunkett, who was stationed at Crawford and High streets, who placed the two men under arrest. Jewelry for Bride or Graduate on Credit.
