W.1. FRANCIS HONORED AT BANQUET Man Murdered On Way To Work Established To Secure Justice and Equality to All VOLUME W. T. Man M ASSAILANTS FLEE AFTER MURDEROUS ATTACK ON MAN George S. Kingston, 40, colored, 258 St. Anthony ave., was murdered while on his way to work this morning. Five shots were fired at him. One struck him in the head, another in the abdomen, and one in the left wrist. Death is believed to have been instantaneous. The murder occurred at Aurora ave. and Jay St. No one saw the shooting, but residents of the district heard five shots, and investigating found Kingston's body on the sidewalk. He has been employed at the Swift & Co. plant, South St. Paul, and, according to Patrolman George Gason, a fried of the dead man, has had trouble with other colored men at the plant. Robbery apparently was not the motive for the shooting, as several dollars and a watch were found in Mr. Kingston's pockets. The murders, of whom there were two or three fled toward University ave., according to residents of the district. The body is at the county morgue. Mr. Kingston is survived by his wife. WomanSuccumbs To Long Illness; Last Rites Held After an illness of several months, Mrs. Beatrice Sparks, beloved wife of Jackson Sparks, 633 West Central ave., and sister of Mrs. Ellen Walker and C. D. Jones of this city entered into eternal rest Sunday, December 7th, at Aneker hospital. A few weeks ago Mrs. Sparks underwent an operation hoping to obtain relief. Apparently she was recovering until complications set in which resulted in her death. She was born in Lexington, Ky., the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Lawson. Shortly after her marriage in Chicago eleven years ago, Mrs. Sparks came to St. Paul to reside and had acquired a large circle of friends in church, social, and club circles. She was an ardent worker in St. James A. M. E. church, a former member of the Anderson Circle and Choir. On account of the condition of her health she was forced to discontinue her activities. Her home life was ideal, as she was a devoted wife and ever hospitable to her friends. She belonged to the Adelphia club and Household of Ruth no. 553. Funeral Wednesday The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon. Brief services were conducted at the home by Rev. W. H. Griffin. At 2:30 the body was conveyed to the St. James church where the final rites were held under the auspices of the Household of Ruth, Rev. Griffin officiating. Favorite hymns of the deceased were sung by the choir. The casket rested in a bower of beautiful, floral offerings—silent tributes of love from her many friends. Messrs. W. B. Walker, James R. Jones, Louis Moore, E Calloway, Elmer Harris and Leroy Coleman bore the remains to their last resting place in Oakland cemetery. Simpson and Wills directed the funeral arrangements. Her demise is mourned by her husband, J. S. Sparks, Nathan Lawson, father, Mrs. Ellen Walker and Mrs. Nannie Tate, sisters, C. D. Jones and James Lawson, brothers and many friends. The bereaved family has the sympathy of the entire community. For Paramount and Okeh records, and High Brown toilet articles, call Colfax 2465. We solicit your holiday patronage. Edith Moulden, Prop. Race Question Again Bobs Up To the Mediums New York, Dec. 12.—The color question, which has created a stir among the spiritualist churches throughout the country since the segregation issue arose at the national convention in Los Angeles, has opened the eyes of the Christian world. The Rev. John R. White of the Universal church of this city is doing all in his power to avert the parting of the ways, but it seems that a split is inevitable and the calling of a special session is forcing the heads of the convention to hasten the time, which may be about April 1, and the place either Chicago or Milwaukee. The Rev. Mr. White is leader of the Race forces. An investigation of conditions as they now stand reveals the fact that there is a certain faction of white members, led by Senator Barwise of Maine, who are deliberately opposed to having the women and girls of their race associating with pastors and mediums of our Race. Senator Barwise, J. S. Maxwell of Texas and the Rev. Thomas Greenshaw of California are reported as having openly said at the Los Angeles convention that the "Negro was unfit for association with Whites," and that segregation would be for the betterment or both races. "No Mixed organization can exist below the Mason-Dixon line" is also a statement attributed to the senator from Maine. There are some other differences that are troubling the national association. One is the disposal of the bogus mediums that infringe on the real church; another is a revolt that is breeding within the ranks composed of our people, while a similar situation exists among the whites, who have been incorporating independently since they do not indorse the policies of Senator Barwise. Nevertheless the national issue on segregation overshadows all other controversies. While the outbreak in the spiritualist church is arriving at a crisis the situation reverts itself into the triangular affair and the Rev. John White is the champion in the defense of our people. Dr.J.R.French Guest Of Honor at Big Stag Dr. John R. French was the guest of honor at a stag Saturady evening given by Mr. Owen Howell at his home 941 Rondo St. The guests arrived about eleven o'clock and indulged in card playing and an appetizing punch concocted by the host. At midnight the guests were ushered into the dining room where their gastronomic desires were satisfied, in a tasteful, palatable, splendidly cooked supper. Such an abundance of food placed before the guests had its effect on the eye and are the last course was served, several reached the state of repletion. Immediately following the supper, Mr. Hammond Turner, who acted as spokesman for the guests, presented the honored guest a white gold initial engraved set containing a pen-knife and cuff links as a token of remembrance of the high esteem in which he was held by them. Dr. French very ably responded. Card playing was then resumed until the wee sma' hours and as the guests departed, all voted Mr. Howell a wonderful entertainer and an ample provider. Others who were present were: Messrs. Hammond Turner, F. D. McCracken, Ernest Starks, Ralph Turner, Edgar Butler, E. O. Brown, F. L. Brown of Canada and J. Q. Adams. Major Julium Ramsey, field secretary of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, whose headquarters are in Chicago, is in the city on business relative to the school. He is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Wilson, 697 St. Anthony ave. THE NORTHWESTERN ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1924 TOMMY GIBBONS BATTERS NORFOLK INTO SUBMISSION New York, Dec. 9.—Tommy Gibbons, pride of the middle west and leading contender for Jack Dempsey's crown, battered Kid Norfolk, rugged negro light heavyweight into submission tonight in Madison Square Garden. Gibbons scored a technical knockout over his dusky opponent when the referee stopped the fight in the sixth round of their 15 round match to save Norfolk further punishment. Flashing a dazzling exhibition of foot work and punching skill, the St. Paul fighter outclassed Norfolk before a crowd of 13,000 that filled the Garden to capacity and paid a total of $107,599 to make up the "gate" for the Christmas fund raised by a New York newspaper. Gibbons Cuts Kid to Pieces Gibbons cut the Negro to pieces with a relentless, driving attack and beat down Norfolk's rugged defense in short order. The Kid was on the verge of a knockout in the fourth round, was saved from a final count in the fifth when a terrific right to the jaw sent him down for the count of two and lasted only fifty-five seconds of the sixth and last round. Norfolk was dropped for a count of six in the last round with another smashing right to the jaw. He reeled backward as he got to his feet, staggered across the ring and fell to his back before Gibbons could land another blow. Norfolk was unable to continue and Referee Sheridan stepped between the fighters, waving Gibbons to his corner. Gibbons' quick victory was a spectacular climax to the charity show which kept the crowd in an uproar from start to finish. The St. Paul man's triumph caused little less sensation than the knockout of Johnny Wilson, former world's middleweight champion, at the hands of Tiger Flowers, Atlanta negro, in the third round of a ten round match. Flowers Batters Wilson Flowers batters Wilson Flowers swarming over Wilson with a two fisted, tireless assault, quickly weakened Wilson with a steady drive to head and body and the referee stopped the encounter, giving the Negro a technical knock-out, while Wilson, beaten into a corner of the ring, was obviously helpless to go on. Wilson apparently in poor condition, did not take a count but was literally "out on his feet." Gibbons, in superb condition, quickly demonstrated his mastery over Norfolk, the Negro mixed willingly but he was unable to block Gibbons' shifty attack or penetrate the St. Paul man's defense with any effectiveness. Gibbons cut Norfolk about the eyes and nose with a rattling fire of jabs and hooks in the second round and started fresh flow of blood from Norfolk's mouth in the third. Norfolk's finish seemed imminent in the fourth when he was staggered by a solid left to the jaw and rocked a moment later by a swing to the head. He weathered this gale, however, although visibly groggy and rallied in the fifth round, forcing the fighting and starting blood from Gibbons' nose until a terrific right smash to the head sent him to the floor. Up at the count of two, Norfolk swayed toward Gibbons but the bell saved him from further punishment, but he had only a brief respite before the finish in the sixth. Promoters announced that profit for the Christmas fund amounted to approximately $46,000 after the deduction from gross receipts of a state tax of $5,379.95 and $52,665.71 to pay the boxers, of this Gibbons received 30 per cent of the gross receipts of about $30,000.

MATTHEWS'17 POINTS NOT FOR MR.COOLIDGE Washington, D. C., Dec. 12.—A delegation representing the National Colored Republican Conference, of which Dr. George E. Cannon, of Jersey City, N. J., is the president, was received at the White House last Friday. The delegation submitted three requests to the President. They were that he issue a pronunciamento that the Federal government under his administration would not discriminate between its citizens on account of color, that he let it be known that his administration will not recognize the policy of not appointing colored men to office in the South, and immediate relief for Liberia. William C. Mathews, the national organizer of the colored vote for the Republican National Committee in the recent campaign, acted as spokesman. The President responded briefly indicating that these requests were considered reasonable. The Mathews program, which contains seventeen demands to be made of the administration, was not presented to the President. At a meeting of the executive committee of the National Colored Republican Conference and a number of colored Republican campaign workers held at the Mt. Carmel Baptist church last Wednesday night, the Mathews' program was endorsed with the understanding that it would not be presented to the White House. It was determined at this meeting that these three propositions should be submitted to the president for his consideration. It was also decided that no publicity should begiven to the proceedings, but after the delegation had visited the White House, a statement of what the leaders deemed advisable should be prepared and given to the press. Included in this delegation were Dr. George E. Cannon, of Jersey City, N. J.; William C. Matthews, of Boston; Robert L. Vann, of Pittsburgh; William T. Francis, of St. Paul; Homer G. Phillips, of St. Louis; Oscar DePriest, of Chicago; James A. Cobb, of Washington; the Rev. William A. Byrd, of Jersey City; Joseph E. Johnson, of Washington; Nahum D. Brascher, of Chicago; C. A. Campbell, of Lansing, Mich., and others. Mathews Spokesman Substitute Program ST. PAUL FOLK CROWD PIONEER HALL TO HONOR POLITICAL LEADER If with pleasure you are viewing any work a man is doing; If you like him or you love him tell him now; Don't withhold your approbation till the parson makes oration And he lies with snowy lillies o'er his brow; If you think some praise is due him, now's the time to shout it to him, For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead. More than fame and more than money is the comment kind and sunny And the hearty, warm approval of a friend, For it gives to life a savor and it makes you stronger, braver, And it gives you heart and spirit to the end; If he earns your praise, bestow it; if you like him let him know it Let the words of true encouragement be said; Do not wait till life is over and he's underneath the clover, For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead. Firmly believing in the axioms contained in the above lines, St. Paul citizens not only demonstrated that fact, but proved their loyalty to a fellow man when a large number of representative folk assembled at a testimonial banquet Monday evening at Pioneer Hall to do homage to Wm. T. Francis, whose splendid record as chairman of the Western Division of the National Republican Committee in the recent presidential campaign won for him national prominence in the political world. Segregationists In Washington Publish Paper The fight against residential segregation in America, now being carried before the U. S. Supreme Court by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is gaining in intensity, according to a report sent to the N. A. A. C. P. National Office by James A. Cobb, who is in general charge of the legal work. White property owners of Washington have not only organized, but are also publishing a newspaper in the interest of segregation. This newspaper, The North Capitol Citizen, in its issue of Nov. 21, reports that the white property owners' association has printed a supply of signs inscribed "FOR WHITE OCCUPANTS" and is distributing these signs free to be placed in the windows of all houses offered for sale or rent. Mr. Cobb reports by letter: "Other suits are being filed. I am sending herewith a publication to you to show you how active these people are here. They have even filed a case here where there is no written covenant (to discriminate against colored people) but where they claim there is an oral understanding among the property holders. You can see how pernicious and far-reaching this is." In St. Paul, Minn., according to reports received by the N. A. A. C. P., a bitter segregation fight has been in progress for two months, with W. T. Francis, a colored attorney, on the Executive Committee of the local N. A. A. C. P., declining to vacate a house he had purchased. The National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. has written Mr. Francis offering him assistance. ROYAL LODGE 159 U. B. F. HOLD ANNUAL ELECTION Royal Lodge 159, U. B. F., held their annual election of officers, Monday night. W. M.

T. Francis, whose splendid Western Division of the National Re- cent presidential campaign won for the political world. Shortly after his return from Republican headquarters in Chicago, early in November a banquet was arranged by leading citizens as a fitting tribute to Mr. Francis to take place on the 21st ult. However, an important engagement in Washington, D. C., called him from the city and the committee postponed the event until the 8th of December. A program was given in conjunction with the banquet which lasted until midnight. Invocation by Rev. Harris Invocation by Rev. Harris Before being seated at the banquet board which extended the entire length o f the spacious parlor, Rev. L. W. Harris, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church invoked the blessing of the Almighty on the distinguished guest and assemblage. After enjoy- ing a delicious repast served by Alexander the caterer, the first speaker, Mr. Fred D. McCracken, chairman, stated that St. Paul had always taken a just pride in its citizens and was proud to do honor to whom honor is due, especially one who has been successful in all of his undertakings and capable of putting over one of the biggest programs known in political history. I know of no one better fitted to act as toastmaster on this occasion than Mr. Charles H. Miller, a boyhood friend and close associate of Mr. Francis in the early 80's, said Mr. McCracken, as he introduced another well-known citizen in the person of Mr. Miller. Great Honor "I take great pleasure and honor in acting in this capacity", began Mr. Miller, "as I have known "Billy" since 1882, having lived here eight years prior to his arrival. We both attended the Jefferson school. As a newsboy he laid the foundation for his career, persevering with an ambition to master the higher things of life he labored diligently and in spite of numerous obstacles which beset his path he succeeded in obtaining a position in the General office of the Northern Pacific railway. Later he served in the legal department as chief clerk and assistant counsel. He attended the St. Paul College of Law, graduating with honors. His boyhood sweetheart, Miss Nellie Griswold, became his wife after a courtship of eight years duration. For over thirty years she has been his helpmate and fostered a civil rights bill aided by the governor of Minnesota. When the great political heads saw fit to select one of us to fill this position they selected one who was qualified; his success was truly a matter of achievement; true democracy lies in the fact that we are our brothers keeper." were Mr. Miller's closing remarks. Community Sing. The next feature was a Community Sing directed by Mr. A. V. Hall. An old familiar camp-meeting hymn.

PROPER RECOGNITION OF THE NEGRO From the days following the Civil War and the emancipation of slavery the republican party has found it expedient to appoint, occasionally, to office, a Negro. Most of these appointments, under the federal government, were at Washington, or in the Southern states, while the appointees have not, in all instances, beeen representatives of the race or met with its general approval. These appointments favored the Southern Negro and excluded the Negro resident of the North, notwithstanding the fact that the vote of the latter was a potent factor in determining the election of the National Republican party, while the vote of the former, thru election laws of the state of the South was null and void. True, for this state of things no blame attaches to our Southern brother. But what the Negro of the North seeks and desires is, at least, an equal division of federal patronage in appointments of the first class. The migration to the North by the Southern Negro has given the race balance of voting power in the states of the middle west. In fact, it controls the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, these states are pivotal, for without them no party can hope to succeed in a national election, according to the present alignment. Time was when but few Negroes of national renown resided in the North. This was due to the flattering opportunities the Southern states held forth during the days of rebellion. The educated Negro of the North found lucrative employment in the South in the professions, trades, business, and politics. But the shifting sands of time have changed the complex of the race and the South is no longer inviting to the intelligent Negro as a field of highest endeavor. Only recently a Negro was elected as Judge to sit on the municipal court bench, at Chicago, by the suffrage of black and white voters, which means the dawn of a new era for the race in the North that will lead to higher and more general recognition. The Bulletin-Appeal is making an effort to harmonize factions, as they may exist, in the ranks of our race, north and south, for the purpose of uniting our strength by concentrating upon the ablest, cleanest, and most fitted, men and women, amongst our number, in an urge for their appointment to office, and to this end—and to this alone, we ask the co-operation of the press, the clergy, the professions, the lodge, civic and social organizations, and all who have the welfare of the race at heart. In doing this we have no selfish motive, no ax to grind, but are actuated by the spirit of the times—progress. The day of reward for the old loud-mouthed professional politician, whose only qualifications consisted of immorality, the use of profanity and cheap whiskey, is over—a thing of the past. We have a new Negro to offer for leadership, who will not be found wanting, and to whom the race may point with pride at it stands shoulder to shoulder in his support in keeping pace with our country's advancing civilization.

(Continued from Page 1) "Before I'll be a slave" which embodies the spirit of determination possessed by Mr. Francis was sung with great fervor as his name was substituted in place of the original ones. Mrs. Hattie Hall presided at the piano. As the last stanza died away, Messrs. O. C. Hall, A. V. Hall, Fred. McCracken, Chas. Miller and S. E. Hall gave three cheers for Mr. Francis which was echoed by all present. Rev L. W. Harris, of Pilgrim Baptist church was the next speaker introduced whose association as pastor and friend to Mr. Francis, made this occasion a happy experience in his life. He spoke of his thirty years of spiritual life; how he had always been closely identified with the church. He likened his life unto that of Booker T. Washington; how he had found his own way and made the world recognize him in the greatest election. "Citizenship," the subject chosen by Rev. L. W. Harris, calls for progressiveness, cooperation, good government and an aim for the higher ideals of life. Though our group has been handicapped, we are gaining these attainments rapidly. He then commended Mr. Francis for his willingness to help others at all times. Mr. O. C. Hall, as chairman of the resolutions committee was next on the program. A brief biography of Mr. Francis life was given which appears as follows: Wheras: "If all the world is a stage and all men and women are simply actors" then Wheras without the "pride of heraldry, or the pomp of power," poor in world's goods, rich in spiritual values, a child of a Christian mother was ushered in upon life's stage to play his part. He began as a "barefoot boy of tan," selling papers and shining shoes on the streets of what was then a near frontier city—St. Paul. Later we discover his as messenger in the legal department of a transportation corporation of growing importance. Early in life the piercing vision of this boy enabled him to explore the future and set up a goal. Unconsciously as it dirested by the living spirit of the departed, in fancy he wove in garlands along the pathway to his goal, the guiding words of Lincoln, "I shall do the best I can, the very best I can. If I come out all right it will be all right. If I do not come out all right ten thousand angels swearing it was so will not make it so." He and his little girl playmate frequently philosophized that promotion comes to the prepared. Penmanship was a qualification for vault clerk. He qualified and was promoted. Stenography was a qualification to the next advancement. He qualified and was advanced. General information, reliability, good judgment, morals and manners were added qualifications for private secretary. He qualified and became private secretary. Learning in legal lore developed to be the wall between him and the next room. With the spirit of Napoleon, "there was no wall." He qualified and was promoted. He soon learned it was well for a good lawyer to know the human body as well as the human mind. Our boy, now a man, sometime since married to his childhood playmate, vision mate and help meet, goes further and becomes a doctor of osteopathy. He is in turn promoted to the position of chief clerk of the legal department of the great transcontinental railroad, the Northern Pacific, and as such contributed his part to the building of the great empire called the Northwest, and presenting the world the product of his genius—the brief case. A shift of scenes and we find our actor in general practice of the legal profession, with a practical knowledge of some phases of his calling, superior to most of his fellows. All through in playing his parts, he has created an atmosphere of preparedness, friendliness, gentleness, sociability and carried the gospel of the carpenter of Nazareth—"thy neighbor as thyself." In every scene Recently the Republican National Committee, with unmeasurable influence, information and means, combed the country from the east boundary of the State of Ohio to the Pacific Ocean to find the most suitable person, peculiarly endowed with the elements of leadership, to guide the minds of our race from the errors of an insincere socialism and destructive Ku Klux Klanism. That committee with the future of the country balancing in its hands, chose the news boy of years ago, the accomplished lawyer, our friend and brother—the Honorable William Trevan Francis. Therefore be it resolved that it is the sense of the Colored Citizens of the State of Minnesota, represented at banquet board by persons from various walks of life, that beyond verbal expression we appreciate all the elements and factors that make it possible for us to call the Hon. W. T. Francis by that homlier term "Billy," our friend and brother, our chosen leader; That we further his interests whenever we may, always knowing his advantage will be in the future our advantage as it has in the past; That we commend our brethren to the forces that have elevated our friend—preparedness in mind, manners, morals and money; That to preserve the record we present a copy of these resolutions to our brother and guest. W. T. Francis and one to the press. All hall, "Billy" Francis! J. H. Dillingham, Chairman Resolutions Committee. Major Ramsey of Tuskeegee, Ala., who was also present, told that he had first met Mr. Francis at the Republican Headquarters. His wonderful personality and loyalty easily put him in the Coolidge class. He was so unassuming and dignified that no one would ever think that he possessed so many staunch friends. He hoped that the young men of the city would take advantage of their wonderful opportunities which their brother in the South cannot attain. Work together and prove yourself 100 per cent. The toast master in his eloquent manner decreed that women were always behind the throne, he then proceeded to call on Mesdames Birdie High and Almee Hall for speeches. Mrs. High however expressed great pleasure to be present on the occasion an shoped for Mr. and Mrs. Francis many years of success. On account of a severe cold, Mrs. Hall was forced to decline. Mr. Owen Howell publisher of the Bulletin-Appeal congratulated Mr. Francis and he earnestly wished he would secure a position in Washington which he deserves and that all groups should unite and measure arms. Work Outlined. The master of ceremonies then introduced Honorable W. T. Francis. Mr. Francis in a brief address outlined his work as chairman of the Western Division of the Republican National Committees. He commended Wm. Matthews very highly for his work. Rev. L. W. Harris, E. A. Carter and F. D. McCracken were also highly commended by the speaker for the good each did for the Republican party. Twenty-four states were under the supervision of Mr. Francis and he dwelt on the many difficulties that arose in many of the states. Homer Phillips of St. Louis was Mr. Francis' right hand man and wherever any difficulties arose Mr. Phillips was sent to straighten out the trouble. After commenting on his work in Chicago and his career in St. Paul, Mr. Francis spoke a few words on the residential segregation fight now in progress and said, "Have faith in me, I will not falter or betray thee even if I have to pay the supreme sacrifice." Mr. Francis heartily thanked the committee that sponsored the banquet in his honor and the many friends who attended. The singing of "Auld Lang Syne", concluded the ceremonies. Early in his youth he took charge of his life in time, made worth-while decisions about the loyalties of purposes and ambitions that should control him found his work in the world and mastered it. Aimee Hall. Mrs. Sarah Johnson, Centenarian, Dies On Saturday, December 6th, 1924, the Grim Reaper called home to rest Mrs. Sarah Johnson, mother of Mrs. Carrie Sleet, 752 Igelhart ave.
