VOLUME III, NO. 31
SUIT N.A.A.C.P.BEGINS FIGHT AGAINST ALL SEGREGATION
Nation-wide Campaign to Arouse Negroes Against Menace Started.
A series of mass meetings throughout the United States, to arouse colored people to the necessity of presenting a united front against residential segregation by race, is announced by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York. The opening gun in this campaign is to be fired in Washington, D.C., where a segregation case is pending before the United States Supreme Court.
The National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. jointly with the Washington branch, under the chairmanship of Archibald Grimke plans to hold a monster mass meeting on November 30. On that day, the Sunday following Thanksgiving Day, numbers of colored people will be in Washington because of the Lincoln-Howard University football game. And it is expected to attract a large and representative gathering.
Among the distinguished speakers who have been invited to address this meeting in the N. A. A. C. P. Anti-Segregation campaign, are: Arthur B. Spingarn, vice president of the Association and a member of the National Legal Committee; Louis Marshall, famous constitutional lawyer of New York, counsel for Leo Frank, and a member of the N. A. A. C. P. Board of Directors, who has volunteered to give his services in arguing the Washington segregation case before the Supreme Court; James A. Cobb, chairman of the Legal Committee of the Washington Branch; N. A. A. C. P., who is in charge of the segregation case; and James Weldon Johnson, N. A. A. C. P. National secretary.
Not only will the legal aspects of residential segregation be thoroughly discussed by the distinguished speakers, but it will be pointed out that cases of individual segregation by agreement among white property owners, dangerously menace the rights of every colored home owner and prospective purchaser in the land. Plans will be matured whereby case may be fought in the courts, throughout the country, as cases are now being fought by the N. A. A. C. P. in Washington, New Orleans and elsewhere.
St. Paul Girl To Appear in Revue Sails For Paris
Miss Aurelia Wheeldin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Wheeldin, 682 Carroll Ave., who has been living in New York City and recently sailed for Paris, France, is achieving success in the theatrical world.
Miss Wheeldin is one of a group of girls who were trained by the Leonard Harper Studios of New York City to participate in a "Revue" to be staged at the celebrated "Moulin Rouge" in Paris.
The Misses Ellen Meadows and Theresa West, two of the star dancers of the Florence Mills show, now appearing on Broadway, also joined the Revue. The young ladies sailed on the new French liner "De Grasse," first-class, in a beautiful stateroom. A large group of Harlemites assembled at the pier to wish them bon voyage and gave them a hearty send-off.
Professionally, Miss Wheeldin is known as Vlivian Wheeldin. She was quite a favorite in social and church circles of this city, where she was formerly a member of Madame Crafton's Junior Choral Choir of St. James' A. M. E. Church. For a number of years she was employed at Mannheimers Department Store.
Mrs. Fanny Martin, 755 Rondo St. prominent in fraternal circles, is seriously ill at her home.

STYLE SHOW AT SOUTH
SIDE GRAND SUCCESS
The Style Revue and dance given under the auspices of the Kingston Girls at the newly decorated South Side Auditorium proved to be the most outstanding success of the many such affairs given by these young women.
The models, under the direction of Mrs. J. W. Moore, presented an alluring picture of the very latest thing in the season's styles.
The frocks, sweaters, furs and millinery were exhibited through the courtesy of Mr. W. W. McKinnon of the Askin-Marine Co., 328 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis, who spared neither time or expense to make this fourth semi-annual fashion promenade a grand success. Music was furnished by Moore's Concert Dance Orchestra and the revue was interspersed with clever numbers rendered by Master Kelly Stone, trap drummer, the Misses Esther Lewis and Lorene Cuzzons, toe dancers, and a duet, "Old Fashioned Love," by Messrs. Perry and Moore, after which dancing concluded the evening's entertainment.

Producer-Director Of ComedyDrama
1930
On Tuesday evening, Nov. 25th, the Twin Cities will be presented with another artistic treat in the form of a three-act comedy drama entitled "Playing the Game," directed and produced by Miss Eva B. Walker at St. Stephen's Auditorium, 22nd and Clinton Ave. The production is being sponsored by the Douglass Club as one of its attempts to better the artistic taste of our group. For this the club is due much credit. Miss Walker, the directress, in her characteristically faithful way, has been rehearsing a group of Minneapolis young people for two months.
JOHN H. HARRIS
Gene Collins, one of the most noted dancers in Vod-vil will appear at the Seventh St. Theatre with the Indian Jazz Revue all next week. This is positively the last time that he will show in Minneapolis with a white act, as next season he will have an act of his own.
There are few dancers who can compete with Mr. Collins; for an entire season he was an extra added attraction with Chief Blue Cloud on the Pantages circuit and also appeared on the boards at the celebrated Marigold Gardens in Chicago for six months. During his stay in the Mill City he will be the guest of Mrs. Lillian Burwell, $637 \frac{1}{2}$ 6th Ave. North, and would like to hear from his many friends. Mr. Collins has just completed a week's engagement at the Orpheum Theatre in Sioux City, Iowa, where he created quite a sensation.
Leila Walker Is Granted Divorce In Los Angeles
Los Angeles, Calif., Nov. 14.—Before department three of the superior court, the Hon. J. W. Summergeld presiding, A'Leila Walker, whose married name is Wilson, was granted a divorce from her husband, Dr. Wiley Wilson, age 44, a physician of 200 W. 138th St., New York city, on Nov. 7.
Mrs. Wilson was represented by Attorney Willis O. Tyler and the complaint alleged the technical ground of desertion. It was disclosed by the testimony adduced at the hearing that the separation took place during the year 1921, and that the underlying cause of the separation was a series of flirtations with certain women friends of the parties which were carried on by the defendant, Dr. Wilson. The doctor was not represented in the proceedings.
It was further shown that in this flirtatious conduct, the doctor had been unduly attentive to one Inez Richardson, a school teacher of New York city, and had also written a fervent love letter to Edyline Bentley, formerly private secretary to the plaintiff, A'Leila Walker. An exchange of letters between Dr. Wilson and Edyline Bentley was read into the evidence, together with various affidavits and despositions of perosns socially prominent in New York and other cities.

N.A.A.C.P. SAVES CONDEMNED BOY DEATH PENALTY
N.A.A.C.P. SAVES CONDEMNED BOY DEATH PENALTY
Texas Branch Instrumental in Saving Houston Boy Death Penalty.
The national Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, announces that its Houston, Texas branch has been instrumental in saving Luther Collins from the death penalty, to which he had been sentenced after a hasty and mob-swayed trial in 1922. As a result of the recent new trial in Richmond, Texas, Collins was sentenced to 99 years in prison and the branch is now beginning a new fight to have the sentence reduced and Collins freed.
Luther Collins was accused on January 24, 1922, by a white woman of Houston, who alleged that he assaulted her, forcing her and her twenty-two year old white escort at the point of a pistol to go into a deserted wood yard; and that Collins held off the white man while the assault was committed.
Investigation by the Houston branch of the N. A. A. C. P., after Collins had been hastily tried and sentenced to death, disclosed that Collins not only bore an excellent reputation, but had been nowhere near the scene of the alleged attack. Furthermore, it was shown that to traverse the route indicated by the white woman, it would have been necessary for Collins to have forced the two white people to walk 250 yards at the point of a pistol, on a main street on which there were five street car lines and two lines of automobile buses. Evidence was also adduced showing the undisputed bad character borne by the white woman, the impossibility of the assault having been committed while a gun was being pointed at the white escort, and the smallness of the room, which would have made such a scene impossible.
Under cross examination the white woman contradicted herself at a new trial obtained by the Houston N. A. A. C. P. in March, 1924. The jury, composed entirely of whites, remained out two days, 8 men standing for acquittal, 4 for a light sentence. Unable to agree, the jury was finally dismissed. The recent third trial, held October 29, resulted in the 99-year sentence, which the Houston N. A. A. C. P. hopes to have reduced.

LOST COMPTROLLER OF CUSTOMS WILL RETAIN OFFICE
Attorney Asserts Cohen Was Not Citizen of the United States
New Orleans, Nov, 13.—The suit of E. Edward Bolte, Washington, D. C., attorney, seeking to oust Walter L. Cohen, colored comptroller of customs here, from office and attacking legality of the adoption of the Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, was dismissed today in Federal district court by Judge Rufus E. Foster.
Bolte asserted Cohen was not a citizen of the United States since he was "of African descent" and could not claim citizenship because the amendment conferring it was illegal.
"Statesmen, jurists and historians have termed the amendment the American Magna Charta," Judge Foster said. "And some have even termed it the Maxima Charta. For fifty six year it has stood as a bulwark against attacks on the rights of citizens."

Paul Shelton Succumbs to Short Illness
The death of Paul (Ted) Shelton, third son of Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette Shelton, 940 St. Anthony Ave., one of St. Paul's promising young men, which occurred on Monday was a distinct shock to the community.

His serious condition was not realized until about two weeks ago when he was removed to Ancker Hospital for treatment. Suffering from a weak heart, he sank rapidly and slept quietly away, Monday at 5 A. M. He is survived by his mother, father, four sisters, two brothers, a little nephew and other relatives, besides a host of friends.
At the time of his death he was twenty-one years of age, and was born and raised in St. Paul, where he attended the public schools and spent two years at Central High School. He was employed at the Minnesota Milk Co., for the past four years and was well liked by his employers and fellow workers.

We showed our strength by emulating the team—we loved our enemies—we remembered their faults.
Dee is the blackest crime in the decalog ever may be said of the Negro, we thank him. The affection of the slave for his mankind scene, when the emancipation ended. This affection was shared equally however, and left its life's scar in the past. We do not care to become retrospectively that we were human beings of a certain attributes of other human beings—the same love of wife and child; hope and joy.

We have in Theodore Nolan, men of this same mould.
Of the hour, then is for the Negro to carry and concentrate on putting forth his best and most efficient members of the that we can offer for executive consideration of federal governments. To this end we can grace pride, to co-operate with us in war. This evolves a duty upon the clergy, the man, the leaders of lodges as well as those of life. We shall continue our editorials and issue.

Now that the smoke of battle has cleared with a complete victory for the G. O. P., and prosperity going forth in bounds and leaps, it is fitting time for the Negro as a race, to get together and formulate a definite plan of concerted action, whereby we will benefit both locally and nationally. It is safe to say that fully 95 per cent of the votes cast in the recent election by the Negro thruout the country were Republican. The remaining 5 per cent, following disgruntled leadership was divided between Davis and La Follette. The position occupied by the Negro citizen is peculiar. Heretofore he has lacked co-operative effort in demanding recognition in the matter of appointive office from the political party he so consistently supports. His loyalty and devotion to the Republican party, like the love of his country, is unquestioned. He has stood by the party when the party failed to stand by him, when the man in the White House turned a deft side to this, "man and brother," in a futile effort to pacify southern prejudice, and in the vain hope of breaking the solidarity of the democratic party in the states below the Mason and Dixon line. At those cruel periods we showed our strength by emulating the teachings of the Master, Jesus—we loved our enemies—we remembered their virtues and overlooked their faults.
Ingratitude is the blackest crime in the decalogue of criminology. Whatever may be said of the Negro, we thank God, that he is not an ingrate. The affection of the slave for his master afforded a heart-rending scene, when the emancipation proclamation was promulgated. This affection was shared equally by the humane master, however, and left its life's scar in those tragic and historic days. We do not care to become retrospective. It is sufficient to say that we were human beings of a different race, with the same attributes of other human beings—the same emotions—the same love of wife and child; hope and aspiration, as characterized.
The Caucasian, thru the grace of God, Abraham Lincoln, and the "Army of the North," the shackles that held us as bondmen and citizenship conferred. Our gratitude for this act will always live in our hearts, and those of our descendants.
The Republican party, composed for the most part, of men of anti-slavery views, had selected as standard-bearer, the great emancipator. Our democratic friends will, we believe, not hold the gratitude and reverence we have for the very name of republican, against us. We know that the character of that organization has changed at times in its attitude towards us, but we have not been without hope for the return of the spirit that gave it birth. We are of the opinion that with the election of Calvin Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes—both sons of fathers who distinguished themselves in the war of the rebellion, that gave us the right of citizenship, that they are worthy sons of worthy sires who will steer the ship of state in the proper waters and restore the Republican party to its traditional principles. We have in Theodore Christianson and W. I. Nolan, men of this same mould.
The duty of the hour, then is for the Negro to lay aside his petty jealousy and concentrate on putting forth by unanimous agreement, the best and most efficient members of the race—male and female—that we can offer for executive consideration by both the local and federal governments. To this end we call upon every Negro, with race pride, to co-operate with us in voicing these sentiments. This evolves a duty upon the clergy, the professional man and woman, the leaders of lodges as well as those in the common walks of life. We shall continue our editorials along this line from issue to issue. The Negro is more than a hewer of wood and a drawer of water.
Amidst the roar of crunching, grinding and crumbling worlds, La Follette, Brookhart, Johnson, et al, have been unable to explain themselves from the wreckage and are still buried beneath the debris.
OUR FAULTS

The besetting sin of the American Negro co-operative effort, our unwarranted aid of our leaders, in the cheap and vulga and errant rumor, in the unwillingness, superior ability and training. We envy them—and cast filthy aspersion on their live men and women who are fitted to take the city and state. With the jaundiced c
The faults which are common to us are common to humanity. But there is one glaring fault of the Negro which serves to handicap him more than his fellows in the race of life.
Envy is the besetting sin of the American Negro. It shows in our lack of co-operative effort, our unwarranted assault on the personalities of our leaders, in the cheap and vulgar worship of foul gossip and errant rumor, in the unwillingness of many to recognize superior ability and training. We envy the success of our neighbors—and cast filthy aspersion on their lives. We envy the young men and women who are fitted to take their places in the life of the city and state. With the jaundiced eye of envy we appraise our friends and they suffer thereby.
It is time that we outgrew this puerile and blundering ineptitude, this vicious and cowardly attitude. All of us are struggling for success—and we come not nearer the goal by handicapping our fellow men.
WHERE ALL NICKELS COME FROM PUZZLE
Mystery Surpasses "Where Do the Pins Go?"
Washington.—The historic question,
"Where do the pins go?" can be set aside. The turnstile age has produced a substitute question that will do more pertinently, namely, "Where do the nickels come from?"
In 1922, says the statistician, the United States mints coined minor pieces to the value of $71,000. If they were all nickels, which they were not, that would make 1,432,000 nickels. And in the same year the country's electric railroads collected fares, largely in nickels, from 12,685,300,050 passengers.
All these figures may go to support the question theoretically, but to get a vivid, human picture of the nickel in its habitat one should linger in the automat until the crowd has gone. Then the attendants rope off a quiet corner and bring out a machine, and the daily rite of the nickel begins.
One would vow that the heap on the top of the machine held all the nickels there are. A man in a white coat grinds a crank, and the coins jump and slide and fall into slots and are counted automatically at scores to the minute until they are fairly bagged. Are there millions? No, only $1,500 to $1,800 worth—36,000 or so, barely enough to reach, side by side, from the soup slot to the ple slot. This would be no loot for a thief unless he had a six-ton truck.
Ask the girl at the change counter: "Where do they come from?" "Good night!" she sighs, "I don't know—but they come."
Raises Potatoes and Tomatoes on Same Vine
1
Amherst, Ohio.—Raising potatoes and tomatoes on the same vine is a simple task, if you know how, says Eugene Linn, Jr., of the North Ridge, who has raised a whole patch full of them this year on his little farm east of town.
"There is nothing to it," says Mr. Linn. "but nobody is going to know the secret until I experiment further this winter, and then I will give the mystery to the state agriculture experiment station. I don't expect to make anything on the discovery."
The vines are as large and healthy as any ordinary potato vine, and they have potatoes in the hills, but on the vines there are many little green "beefsteak" tomatoes. The vines, which are of the late variety, came up naturally, Mr. Linn says, and blossomed with real potato blossoms, which are white. But when the blossoms fell, the little green tomatoes began to grow.
Mr. Linn declares he experimented with the potato and tomato last winter, and that his discovery, which has astounded farmers far and wide, was no accident.
Soviet Rents Giant Tract
to German Seed Company
Moscow.—The soviet government has given a German seed growing company, the Deutsche Saatbau Gesellschaft, a concession of 31 years to 54.000 acres of the best land in the Caucasus. The terms of the agreement provide that the entire area must be sown by 1927.
The concessionnaire undertakes to pay the soviet government 20 per cent of the income from the total annual harvest, and after the expiration of the concession to turn over the entire estate to the government in good condition including live stock and implements.
Stone Bruises Cure
for Nervous Ills
Baden-Baden. — Stone bruises on the feet are a sure cure for nervous disorders, in the opinion of a German specialist who sets many of his patients to walking in their barefeet over stony fields. The more tender patient's feet the quicker will be the cure, in the opinion of this expert on nervous disorders.
He holds that many nervous persons are unable to take their minds off troubles which they brood over constantly and has found over a long term of years that it is not possible for many patients to worry about other troubles if they have bruised and swollen feet.
THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPRAI
PASSPORT THIEVES BUSY IN EUROPE
Scores of Stolen Papers Are Reported Weekly.
Hamburg—American passports and foreign passports vised for the United States are now worth their weight in gold in central Europe, and passports thieves are busy on trains, in hotels and on steamers and wharves.
Scores of stolen passports are reported weekly to American consular officials. It is a frequent occurrence for a foreigner who has obtained a vised document for America to have his papers stolen before he sails.
Americans are warned by consular officers to keep the numbers of their passports, and make speedy reports of theft to the nearest consul, so that the papers may be canceled from Washington and steps taken to prevent imposters from reaching the United States. Travelers are warned not to leave their passports in their luggage, even if it is locked, and advised to carry them in inside pockets beyond the reach of sneak thieves.
The situation has become particularly bad since the new American immigration law went into effect. There are evidences that organized gangs are dealing in papers supposed to guarantee entrance to America. Forgers can easily change names and photographs and descriptions. While purchasers of altered passports will probably come to grief sooner or later, there are so many persons clamoring for admission to the United States that sharper find a ready market for their stolen wares.
Washington.—Announcement that applications for adjusted compensation have been received thus far from 1,300,000 veterans was made recently by Maj. Gen. Robert C. Davis, adjutant general. Veterans entitled to compensation total 4,500,000. General Davis urges that the applications of the others be filed promptly. Of those 850,000 examined so far about 400,000 have been passed and certificates for amounts due have been forwarded to the veterans' bureau.
"Our force of approximately 2,500 clerks is now working at maximum speed and efficiency," said General Davis. "The War department is now ready to receive, verify, and certify an average of 30,000 or more applications daily.
"It is imperative from the standpoint of economy in the administration of the act and consequent saving to the taxpayer that those veterans who intend to avail themselves eventually of the benefits conferred by the act should make their applications now."
French Scientist Makes Synthetic Petroleum
Paris.—A French scientist has succeeded in producing synthetic petroleum, it was announced here recently at the scientific congress, which has as its object the relief of France from foreign oil monopolies.
The man who may revolutionize the world's oil trade is Professor Mailze of Toulouse. Starting with vegetable and animal oils, he said he had been able to reconstitute gasoline with all of the properties which characterize the fluid when it is taken from the earth. The only obstacle to the cheap, unlimited production of synthetic petroleum, he said, was the production of cheap vegetable and animal oils.
France being one of the countries which contains no natural oil fields, there has been a great effort here for some time to find a means of producing a substitute for the high-priced foreign-controlled product.
Farm Land Melts in River
Nearman, Kan.-Acre after acre of fertile soil is gradually dropping into the Missouri river at two sharp bends west of Nearman, on the Missouri Pacific railroad, where the river slowly has been eating its way through ripening corn fields and melon patches toward the Kansas bluffs for several months.
Stockville, Neb.—Will Schmeekle has sent to the stockyards at St. Joseph an old red cow that had served him most efficiently as a hunter of wild ducks and geese. The cow had been efficiently trained along this line by Schmeekle and when he went in the quest of the wild waterfowl, instead of a dog he would sally forth with the red hunting cow.
That part of Nebraska where Schmeekle lives is dotted with numerous lakes and streams, where wild ducks and geese like to feed. When Schmeekle would see a flock of ducks or geese alight on one of these streams he would go on the off side of the cow, crouch down low and, gulding her by one ear, maneuver her close to where the birds were feeding. When he got close enough to the birds he would straighten up and let the buckshot fly, usually bagging several of the birds at one shot. The old cow was not in the least disturbed by the shooting.

FIGHT 100 YEARS
FOR $100,000,000
Death May End Legal Battle Waged Many Years.
Berlin.—Heir to more than $100,000,000, lying ready in the Bank of England, and yet having to live on alms of $1.50 a week.
That is the queer fate of Bernhard Goetze of Leipzig, who just now is the principal in a weird inheritance fight which has strained the legal apparatus of three continents and has stretched through nearly a whole century.
The story of this fight is told by the Neue Leipziger Zettung, which says it bases it on legal documents.
The fortune was amassed by three bearers of the name of Goetze who left Germany between 1787 and 1819.
One, Johann Friedrich Goetze, went to Batavia, amassed a fortune in lands and ships valued at $40,000,000. When he died he left it all to his widow.
The widow married a cousin of her husband, Joann Christoph Goetze, who had also gone to Batavia, had entered the Dutch army service and had become governor of Batavia and commander of the Dutch troops.
Get Second Fortune.
The couple quit Batavia and went to Cape Town, where they arrived just in time to receive the inheritance left to them by Johann Christian Goetze, another cousin. This cousin had gone to the Orange Free State, had dug for gold, and had found 16,000 pounds of it, all of which, in blinking bar gold, now went to the former governor of Batavia. This croesus died in Cape Town in 1831, leaving his immense fortune in gold, in lands, in ships and mines to his parents and brothers and sisters in Germany. But these never learned of their good fortune.
Finally in 1867, a sister, Mrs. Erdmuthe Goetze, who had married her cousin of the same name, learned of the inheritance through a newspaper notice.
Immediately, the hunt after the inheritance began. More than 317 bearers of the name of Goetze laid claim to it. After years of legal battles, it was decided that the heirs were Mrs. Erdmuthe Goetze and her children, of whom two were still alive, Bernhard Goetze and Mrs. Louise Telchmann.
The government of Saxony took a hand in the case. In agreement with the British crown treasury, under whose management the estate had increased to $100,000,000, a Doctor Mueller of the Saxon courts was installed as administrator. In 1872, he was relieved of that, however, because it was charged that he furthered the interests, not of the real heirs, but those of another branch.
Later the English consul general at Leipzig, Charles Crove, took the matter in hand, but made little progress because the heirs could not agree among themselves.
Proves Her Ciaim.
In 1875 Mrs. Erdmuthe Goetze went to London where she received documents proving that the Cape Town courts had awarded the inheritance to her and her children, but received no money.
A trip to Mrs. Teichmann at London also proved vain.
In 1900 a man named Bode received a part of the inheritance. This led to another legal battle, in which Bode's lawyer won.
Four trips of Bernhard Goetze to London proved fruitless because he was unable to present his claims in a form that the English courts would accept.
A complaint to the then Prime Minister Balfour brought the reply that he should employ an English lawyer, but as Goetze is penniless, this is vain service.
Mystery is added to the case by the fact that documents in the files show Mrs. Teichmann had died in the meantime. Goetze maintains, however, his sister is still living as wife of a bank director in Stuttgart.
Waiting and fighting for his inheritance, Bernhard Goetze meanwhile has grown to be seventy-nine years old.
He is supported in his fight by a "Goetze association," which was founded in 1911 and consists of about thirty members. Every member pays 5 cents a week, which goes to Goetze and on which this heir to millions lives.
In return, however, the association is to get 10 per cent of Goetze's inheritance—if he ever gets it.
Goetze himself says only the conviction of his legal right keeps him going and he firmly believes that some day the $100,000,000 will come to him.
Volcano Driving All Inhabitants Off Island
Manila.-The entire population of Bubuyan island, one of the Bubuyan group, about 100 miles north of Luzon, may be transferred to another island nearer the coast of Luzon.
An active volcano has driven the 260 inhabitants from their homes down to the water's edge, and frequently they are compelled to take to their canoes to escape the showers of rocks and the lava which stream down the mountain side.
An American Red Cross investigator, who is now on his way to the island with relief supplies, will ascertain if the inhabitants want to move to another island where agricultural conditions are better. If the people are willing to move the Red cross will assist them in establishing homes on another island.

Bethal Gets $16,000 | TEN SENTENCED FOR
Chicago, Nov. 5.—Rapid strides are being made toward the rebuilding of the ill-fated Greater Bethel A. M. E. church, which was destroyed by fire several weeks ago. Unprecedented sympathetic community co-operation and good will are being shown to helping the stricken church.
Many persons gave toward the construction of another church the day after the disaster which caused a loss of $125,000. Among the chief donors are Hon. E. T. Buffington, president of the Illinois Steel Company; the Hon. William Wrigley, Jr., Hon. George W. Dixon, one of Chicago's best loved churchmen and the recent donor of $50,000 chimes in the new Methodist Temple in the loop, and Mayor William E. Dever. The contributions of these men and numerous other citizens of national note swelled the re-building fund to $16,000.
CLERGY JOINS IN FIGHT ON A COLORED TENANT
Washington,D. C., Nov. 13.—A mass meeting of white property owners in the Eckington and Bloomingdale sections was held Wednesday night at 8 o'clock in St. Martin's Parish hall, North Capitol and T streets, to raise funds to fight in court the right of a Negro to tenant a home at 69 T. Street, northwest. Pastors of five churches, one Catholic and four Protestant, addressed the meeting, as well as officers of the Eckington and Bloomingdale Citizens association. It is said the property was sold with the understanding the new tenants would be white.
Mr. Elmer A. Carter, executive secretary of the Urban League, has been on the sick list this week.

FLOGGING GIRL, 20
Frederick, Mo., Nov. 13.—Nine men and one woman, all white, were sentenced here Monday for the part they played in the tarring and feathring of a 20-year-old girl, Miss Dorothy Grandon. The woman sentenced was Mrs. Mary Shank, who pleaded guilty and confessed that in a jealous rage she tore the clothing from Miss Grandon and daubed her with tar and feathers. She was given nine months in jail. The men received one and two-year sentences.
FineNeutralHusband When Wife Fought
Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 5.—When a man's wife gets into a rough-and-tumble fight with another woman, it is not proper for him to stand aside as a spectator and not interfere. This was decided in the Penn Avenue Police Court Tuesday morning, when Magistrate E. E. Smith assessed John McCuller, aged 24 years, $10 because he was neutral.
Mrs. Laura McCullar, aged 21 years and Mrs. Mottie L. Brown, aged 23 years, were fined $10 each. It is said that during the altercation between the women Mrs. McCullar was bitten severely on the hip. The encounter took place in the street near Mrs. McCullar's home.
The Baptist Missionary Societies of the Twin Cities entered into an attendance contest at their rally on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Missionary services were held at Memorial, Bethesda and Pilgrim, respectively. A Bible was offered as a prize to the pastor of the church who has the largest attendance during the three nights. The prize was won by Rev. C. B. Burton, pastor of Memorial Baptist Church and was presented by Rev. L. W. Harris of Pilgrim Baptist Church.
Pennsylvania Hospital Bars Colored Nurse
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 14.—Dr. F. Mossell has aroused the indignation of the Negro medical world and all fair-minded citizens by his recent expose of the insidiousness of the board of directors of the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Medicine in preventing a colored nurse from the Frederick Douglas Memorial Hospital joining its graduate nursing staff and taking a course in operating technique. The only excuse given for the exclusion was that the school had no place to feed and shelter Negroes.
Pinchot Promises Aid
Governor Pinchot, in a letter dated October 28, assured Dr. Mossell of his sincere regrets that such an incident should occur and offered practical help by referring the case to Dr. Ellen Potter, Director of the State Welfare Department, who had also received a similar letter.
"I am sure," said the Governor, "that everything will be done by the Nursing Consultant of the eWelfare Department to work out a plan which will meet the needs of your institution."
Dr. Potter sent as equally a forceful letter of condemnation of such practices to Dr. Mossell and assured him of her support in his fight for justice among the professional classes.
Meeker Denies Color Line
Dr. Geo. Meeker, head of the department, which the colored nurse tried to enter, spoke a most vehement denial of any attempt at segregation on the part of the hospital.
New York, Nov. 5.—Guilty of murder in the first degree was the verdict returned in the case of Julius William Miller, alias "Yellow Charleston," charged with the murder of Barron D. Wilkins, Negro cabaret owner in Harlem, May 24 last. The jury reported at 10:55 Wednesday morning. Miller will be sentenced to death in the electric chair by Judge McIntyre in the Court of General Sessions.
The Slayer's defense was that he killed Wilkins in self defense after the latter made a move as if to draw a gun from his hip pocket.
During the night Miller's wife and two children, Florence, seven, and Evelyn, nine, waited nervously in the corridors of the Criminal Courts Building. When the verdict reached them Mrs. Miller collapsed and the two children burst into hysterical sobbing. Miller apparently was unmoved by the verdict and walked calmly to the bar to give his pedigree. As he walked across the Bridge of Sighs, however, his step faltered.
Blues Singer Loses $25,000 in Jewels
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 5.—According to the police, Madam "Ma" Rainey, known as the "Mother of the Blues," who was appearing at the Lincoln Theatre here last week, was relieved of her $25,000 worth of jewels. It appears, the police say, that Madam Rainey while playing in Nashville, Ten., some weeks ago was approached by an actor, said to be down and out, Allen Derrick, and relater a sad story to her about his tough luck and offered to sell his jewels for a nominal sum in order to get on his feet again. She, through sympathy, it is said, purchased the gems from Derrick without making him produce proper evidence as to how he came into possession of the gems.
Finally the Nashville police apprehended Derrick who during the "third degree" admitted he had stolen the gems and had sold them to Madam Rainey. The Nashville officers communicated with the Pittsburgh police who went to the house where Madam Rainey was appearing. She immediately admitted to the police that she had purchased the gems from Derrick, but that she had no idea the man had stolen them. She delivered the jewels to the Pittsburgh officers.
SOUTHERN WHITES MUST
SOLVE RACE PROBLEM
Chattanoga, Tenn., Nov. 14.—If the race problem is to be solved, it will be solved by the white people of the South, according to Bishop Cleaves of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop Cleaves made the declaration at the fifty-fourth annual session of the church in an address in which he thanked the white Methodists of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, for the efforts in behalf of Bethlehem Mission in this city. Dr. S. D. Long represented the white Methodists at the conference.

REFUSAL TO SERVE MEAL
COSTS PROPRIETOR $150
East San Diego, Calif., Nov. 14.—When Joe England, proprietor of a Front St. restaurant, refused to serve a member of our group several days ago he was forced to pay the man $150.
The man is R. V. Green, a prominent citizen of this city, who had gone to the restaurant to get his dinner. When he was refused service he made a complaint to the police. The two men were taken to court, where Township Justice Delong rendered a decision in favor of Green.

The bride's traveling costume was a tailored dress of Belge Poiret Twill with coat of the same shade, trimmed in bands of mink fur, and carried gloves and purse to match.
A number of the younger set accompanied them to the station, as Mrs. Wilson, who was a former Topeka girl and a talented dramatic reader, had acquired a large circle of friends in the Twin Cities with her pleasing personality.
The best wishes of the community go with them in their new home.
