TRUSTED EMPLOYEES VICTIMIZE ROBERT S. ABBOTT PUBLISHING CO. Trade Week May 4-11; Buy From a Negro Enterprise Established To Secure Justice and Equality to All FORTY-FIRST YEAR NO.4 TRUST ROBE Nat. Neg NEGRO BUSINESS STIMULATION IS OBJECT OF WEEK Campaign Planned for Purpose of Advertising Negro Business Enterprises. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—"Buy something from a Negro Merchant" is the slogan for National Negro Trade Week which will be observed May 4-11 as announced in a booklet distributed today from Tuskegee Institute, headquarters for the National Negro Business League. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute and President of the National Negro Business League, says: "This campaign is not organized in antagonism to other merchants but it is planned for the purpose of advertising the existence of Negro business enterprises and to encourage the Negro merchants to cooperate in local trade boosting campaigns." In previous years similar campaigns have been conducted by Negro merchants in Atlanta, St. Louis, San Antonio and other places and reports show that they have not only increased the turn-over of stock of these colored enterprises, but have been the means of bringing the Negro merchants into helpful contact with the white business men of their communities. The campaign conducted in St. Louis last year made possible the employment of more than one hundred additional colored men and women in Negro stores and business organizations, and showed an average of thirty per cent increase in their gross business. Local Negro Business Leagues in various parts of the country are taking an active interest in the campaign and it is expected that when the National League meets for the annual session in Tulsa, Okla., August 19-20 and 21 that the reports will show even more progress than has been previously reported. The booklet as distributed from Tuskegee Institute contains valuable information for business enterprises. National Negro Business Week will be observed by all Twin Cities business men. In order to boost this campaign in St. Paul, the following will address congregations in the various churches Sunday: O. C. Hall, Evan Anderson, E. A. Carter, F. D. McCracken and O. J. Smith. HOWARD UNIVERSITY STUDENT DROPS DEAD Washington, D. C.—May 1.—Arthur L. Boydkin, 27, a second year law student at Howard University, dropped dead suddenly last week while entering the Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity house.

PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1925 FORECAST HUGE ATTENDANCE FOR DENVER MEETING Segregation and Disfranchise ment to Be Features of Denver Meeting. Such a large attendance is anticipated at the Sixteenth Annual Conference in Denver this June of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that all who plan to attend, whether as accredited delegates, members or friends of the N. A. A. C. P. are asked to send their names as early as possible to the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P., 69 Fifth Avenue, New York. This action is asked for in order that proper accommodations may be arranged in advance for all visitors. The opportunity to visit points of scenic interest in Colorado and in other parts of the Far West at the low excursion rates offered by the railroads is attracting many people. In connection with the June Conference, Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., made the following statement: "Not only Denver people, but friends of the N. A. A. C. P. in other cities and even in adjoining states, are planning to give the oConference a truly western welcome. To make it easier for them as well as for the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P., to entertain all visitors we are asking everyone who plans to go, to send us his name. "The more people there are, the better the railroad accommodations we can get. For instance the group from New York and vicinity will go to Denver in special cars and possibly a special train. To make such arrangements we must know beforehand, as long as possible, how many people are going to make the trip." Aside from the excursions to Colorado Springs and the Garden of the Gods, which are attracting much interest, two features of the Conference which will receive especial attention, are the questions of Segregation and Disfranchisement in the South. The court fight against segregation will be discussed and made clear to visitors from cities where similar contests are being waged. The struggle against disfranchisement, begun against the Texas "white primary" law, will also receive thorough discussion.

Large Crowd at Last Meeting of Sunday Forum The Forum of the St. Paul Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., met on last Sunday at Little Pilgrim. Quite a large crowd attended to hear the fine address on, "Wanted A Man," by Dr. S. W. Bacote, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Kansas City, Mo. He urged the men and also the women of the race to live clean lives, such to the glorification of God and the edification of mankind. A resume of the work of the past year was given by Mr. W. T. Francis, who told of the many things done for the race by the Branch, many of which were done by the board in suppressing matters before they could be published broadcast. He also touched on the wonderful work of the National Association, without which these things could not have been accomplished. Dr. V. D. Turner, chairman of the Board of Directors, was elected delegate to the National Association meeting which convenes at Denver, Colorado June 24th to 30th. A volunteer committee will secure the funds necessary to take care of the expense. F. D. McCRAKEN HEADS 32nd DEGREE MASONRY F. D.

ANNIVERSARY OF GREAT LIBERATOR TO BE RESPECTED Churches and Lodges Asked to Arrange Programs Extolling Virtues of Martyr. May 9th will mark the 125th anniversary of the birth of John Brown, the noted abolitionist. It is fitting that the memory of this splendid character should be observed by the race he sacrificed his life for in an effort to break the shackles of bondage and give it freedom from a cursed and inhuman institution. John Brown struck the decisive blow that aroused the public conscience to the monstrous wrong of human slavery. This brave man who was not afraid to die for a righteous cause when on the way to the scaffold spoke words of cheer to the slave onlookers. About the last act of his life was to stop and kiss a colored child held in its mother's arms. The churches, lodges and civic organizations should arrange appropriate programs extolling the virtues of this grand old man and the important part he played in bringing about the emancipation of the race. Union Revival Meet of Churches Closes The Union Revival Meeting, which has been going on for about ten days was a success from every angle. Seventy people have come forward and united. The following churches have received members: Grace M. E., Bethel A. M. E., Memorial Baptist, St. Paul Baptist, St. James A. M. E., and Pilgrim Baptist. Dr. Bacote has stirred St. Paul in a very favorable way, through his able preaching and deep spiritual interest. The meeting closed Friday night. The choirs banded together and furnished splendid music, under the direction of Messrs. Charles Miller and A. V. Hall, and were quite an asset to the meeting. DEDICATE NEW RACE HIGH SCHOOL IN SOUTH Galveston, Texas, May 1.—One of the South's biggest triumphs for education came with the dedication of the new Central High School for colored in this city last week. The school was erected at a cost of over $200,000, and is one of the finest high schools in the South. It was started in a log cabin in the 90's. Since then it has expanded continuously and at the present time has an enrollment of close to 500. Chicago, Ill.—R. S. Threatt, for 25 years a teacher in Paris, Texas, and a resident of Chicago for five years, died Tuesday morning from blood poisoning, caused by a small splinter stuck in his hand. As Memorial for Friend of Race gives N.A.A.C.P In memory of the late Rev. William C. Gannett of Rochester, N. Y., Mrs. Gannett has sent a contribution of $50 to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it was announced today. Dr. Gannett, whose son is Lewis Gannett, editor of "The Nation," was a prominent Unitarian clergyman, author of a number of religious, devotional and historical works. Dr. Gannett was one of the seven men who led the fight against the exclusion of Negroes from the freshman dormitories of Harvard. Reject Former U.S.Lyncherfor Hungarian Job A cable from Europe published in the Brooklyn Times states that in response to an advertisement by the Hungarian government, for the purpose of filling the office of Public Executioner, there were 500 applicants, among them three women. One of the applicants claimed to have taken part in 25 lynchings in the United States. This qualification did not get him the job. WEST PUBLISHING CO. EMPLOYEES' CLUB 25TH ANNIVERSARY BANQUET The West Publishing Company entertained 800 employees at Montgomery Ward's spacious hall Monday evening. It was a most delightful and artistic affair, opening with speeches by Mayor Nelson and others, followed by a banquet. The hall was beautifully decorated with flowers and palms.

Mrs. Florence Henley was one of the charter members of this club, and her record is 34 years of service, Mrs. G. W. Wills was the personal guest of Mrs. Henley at the banquet. Music by a fifteen piece orchestra ended the evening. N. Y. WOMEN ORGANIZE ANTI-LYNCHING LEAGUE New York, May 1.—A national drive against lynching has been started in Harlem by an organization which owes its being to a vision seen by Mrs. Eleanor Johnson of 149 West 140th street. The organization, known as the "Stop Lynching League of Colored Women," will not only create public sentiment through the press and public mass meeting everywhere, but will appeal directly to the president and congress. UNITE IN PROSECUTION OF WHITE ASSAULTOR Indianapolis, Ind., May 1.—The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has entered prosecution proceedings against Elmer Clark, white grocer, who is being held here on a charge of attacking a 15-year-old colored high school girl. It is expected that action will also be taken against the Standard Grocery Company, Clark's employers. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY A. A. C. P. Shop Every Week in the Bulletin-Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS MIZE G CO. STAFF OFFICIALS FALSE TO TRUST OF EMPLOYER Speculations Carried On for Some Time Disclose Riotous Living in Big City. Special to the Bulletin-Appeal Chicago, Ill., May 1—The shocking disclosures of systematic stealing from the Robert S. Abbott Publishing Co., publishers of the Chicago Defender, by trusted employees, following the notice of dismissal in last week's issue of that paper, has been the latest sensation to stagger the "Windy City"—long accustomed to surprises of vice and crime. First vague, then ugly rumors, have been whispered on the street, at the churches, clubs, the homes and in fact wherever men and women have been drawn together, have been going the rounds for several weeks. The verification of this unpleasant gossip was made public through the publisher's peremptory announcement. The disclosures were brought out when the publishing company made application to have a local bank underwrite a bond issue for the purpose of building an addition to its present plant. The bank had its appraisers and auditors go over the books of the company to find out its assets, and it was then revealed that there were discrepancies in several departments. The defalcations, it is alleged, exceed one hundred thousand dollars. Officials Summon Chief. Mr. Abbot was summoned to return post hase by the bank officials, from a business trip to New York, and the facts were laid before him, which involved his most trusted employees. The men alleged to be guilty of this gigantic steal are Phil A. Jones, general manager; Alfred Anderson, chief editorial writer and purchasing agent; J. De Los Bell, bookkeeper, and Roscoe Conkling Simmons, columnist and road agent. The peculations have been carried on for some time by the important department heads, and disclose riotous living in the wild night life of the big city, gambling, high priced automobiles, latest modes of clothing and fine rai.ment, besides the indulgence of numerous extravagances for baubles and trivialities. Perhaps the straw that broke the camel's back came with the formation of the Reflexus Corporation, with Phil A. Jones chairman of the board of directors, and J. De Los Bell as secretary and treasurer. This corporation sponsored the publication of the Reflexus Magazine, which made its initial appearance April 1, 1925. The cost of such an expensive publication created wonder and -surprise as to its real financial backers. Close associates of the men whose names appeared as officers of the company were at a loss to know it was possible for them to finance such a daring undertaking, and concluded that they were the personal representatives of Robert S. Abbott, who for business reasons preferred to keep silent by eschewing publicity. Figures Overwhelm Auditors. With so heavy a drain upon their resources it became necessary to dig deeper into the treasury box of their employer, which left a gap that could not be covered with the same discretion that characterized their previous system of alterations. It was this huge transaction which led the auditors into the ramifications and recesses of disclosure after disclosure until the bank enterprise OWEN HOWELL ..... Publisher MAURICE MINEAU .....

CRIME AND SCANDAL NEWS The Chicago Defender "in response to repeated inquiries," engaged a special writer, Mr. Chandler Owen, to write a defense in justification of its reason for giving front page publicity to crime and scandal news. The writer states that the newspaper publisher must study human psychology and even when he cannot discourse on the fine spun theories of Wm. James, Munsterberg, Thorndike and others, he has the faculty of grasping practical psychology to a unbelievable degree. A little knowledge may be a dangerous thing if wrongly applied. A smattering of "practical psychology" may lead to the formation of pernicious habits, the same as with metaphysics. The man unable to master human phenomena had better leave it entirely alone. Psychology and metaphysics are recognized sciences—both are taught in the leading universities. Had the publisher who has grasped practical psychology to an "unbelievable degree" gone further into the subject he would have made the discovery, upon which the eminent men the writer mentions are fully agreed, that impression formed upon the sub-conscious mind through vocal or ocular agencies react upon the individual as a reminder of the thing so impressed, and governs human conduct in proportion to the extent of the force of the agency employed. This is the secret of the successful advertiser. By the continuous advertising of commodities they become synonymous with the name of the producer. The human mind is unconsciously susceptible to influence. Fear is an element that may impress a very strong mind. It is a well known fact that epidemics are largely brought about through the agency of fear. "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he" is a true aviom when carried to its logical conclusion. This same analogy applies with equal force to the publicity of crime news in the newspaper. Instead of acting as a deterrent it serves a an incentive for the commitment of crime. Hence the newspaper that indulges in parading crime and scandal news becomes a menace by being a party to its promotion. Mr. Owen stressed the Chicago Tribune as a criterion. The Tribune, formerly a great and potential force as a newspaper, no longer occupies the high estate it once held in the minds of a large class of conservative Americans. It has followed the Hearst idea and become just as "yellow" as the publications sponsored by this interloper into the field of journalism. The Wharton School of Finance and Commerce of the University of Pennsylvania has made a survey by a close and thorough examination of the first pages of eight leading newspapers of the East. Editions from 1911 to 1915 and from October, 1924, to February, 1925, were studied. And what did the investigators find? They found that today these typical papers devote an average of only $22\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of first page space to news items that in any way concern wrongdoing or violence. In this study all accidents involving the least degree of police investigation were included with the other "police news." And still "police news" was found to fill only a little more than one-fifth of first-page space. Politics and government got $38\frac{1}{8}$ per cent of first-page attention. Foreign news received $12\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, great disasters $14\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, business news five per cent, and the arts and sciences three per cent. Society, religions, deaths of notables and sport news claimed the remaining four per cent. However, this survey was made of daily newspapers published in the large centers of population in the interest of the general public, and does not apply to either a general weekly, or special group newspaper. The mission of a daily newspaper is to print the current news. This the weekly is unable to do adequately or satisfactorily. At best it can only give a resume of the important events after the same have appeared as news in the daily newspaper. Of course, special correspondence that give minute details of happenings may have news value to the readers of a weekly newspaper, more especially if published in the interest of a race group. The trouble with some race publishers is due to their inability to grasp the real object of the group weekly newspaper as distinguished from the weekly and daily publications that serve the general public. We do not agree with Mr. Owen when he states that, "the worse the news the greater the interest. A negligible number of people crave news of the good. I should have said care for; they don't crave it. Evil is chiefly alluring; scandal is salacious; we are avid for the worst; prurient for the pernicious; anxious for slime and filth and dirt." We are not willing to admit that society has become so debased—even in this degenerate age—as to demand this class of news matter. We admit that there is a morbid class of readers who read every word of the horrors—they literally "eat it up." Such readers, however, are not the best circulation nor the most productive to the advertisers, or do they constitute the majority of newspaper readers. Neither is it an excuse to print things merely because people will read it—a certain number of people will read anything that is suggestive or obscene, but that is not sufficient reason for printing such matter. The Chicago Defender can't really blame its front page nightmare on its readers; it is up to such newspapers of ilk to establish standards and what they lose in circulation they will win back in other ways simply because it always pays to do the decent thing and the uplifting thing and constructive thing. The objection to a newspaper lies not in the fact that it prints crime news but embellishes it in such a manner that it appeals to the imagination. The gruesome horror of a murder story could well be eliminated, and the racy salaciousness from a sex scandal omitted without destroying the facts. This should be done for the sake of common decency. The right thing in this matter of news is to give the facts regarding crime, to treat a criminal as a criminal and not a hero, to give it the necessary space and no more, to cover it but not to allow it to dominate the paper. The French proverb, "Who excuses, also accuses," applies with equal force to both, Chandler Owen, and the "world's greatest weekly." Americanization Series BLANCHE KELSO BRUCE Blanche K.

His death occurr Blanche K. Bruce was born in slavery March 1, 1841, and it is said, was given, when quite young, by his master to a son of about the same age, to be his constant playmate and attendant. He received his primary education from his young master's tutor, being as well taught as most white youths in the ordinary conditions of life. When he was 19 years old the Civil War began and his master entered the Confederate army. Then he left the plantation and taught school for a time in Missouri, after which he removed to Oberlin, Ohio, and attended Oberlin College, using the money he had earned to pay his tuition and expenses. After the war he removed to Mississippi, where he became a successful planter. After serving as sergeant-at-arms of the state legislature, a member of the Mississippi levee board, sheriff, tax collector, and superintendent of education of Bolivar county, in 1875 he was elected to the the U. S. Senate. He was the second colored member to be elected to that body, and when he came to be sworn into office he was somewhat embarrassed by the fact that his colleague, James L. Alcorn, who by custom was required to conduct him to the presiding officer, was deeply engrossed in reading a newspaper. Bruce had no acquaintance with the other senators, and he now realized that if he would "go to the front" he must go alone. He therefore arose and was proceeding alone down the aisle, when Roscoe Conkling, seeing his predicament, stepped forward and said: "Excuse me, Mr. Bruce, I did not until just now see that you were without an escort Permit me"—and he thereupon gave his arm to Mr. Bruce, leading him to the vice-president's desk. After the oath was administered Conkling escorted Bruce back to his seat, and later in the day, when the committees were being formed, he asked Bruce if anyone was watching out for his interests. Bruce replied negatively. Conkling volunteered to attend to the matter, and the result was that Bruce was put on some of the more desirable committees, and not long after received a chairmanship. After the expiration of his term he was appointed by President Garfield, Register of the U. S. Treasury, resigning in 1885, and in 1890 was appointed by President Harrison, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. He was again appointed register of the treasury in 1897 by President McKinley, retaining the office until his death. He was reputed to be the wealthiest man of his race in the country and was also a man of fine culture. He was an ardent student all through life, and was well read, especially in all subjects relating to his race, having written extensively articles as to its future in this country for a number of the leading magazines. He also was prominent as a lecturer. Mr. Bruce was a large robust man of commanding figure and possessed a charming personality. His death occurred at Washington, D. C., March 17, 1898. GREAT FALLS NEWS The choir of Union Bethel A. M. E. Church, assisted by others, rendered the sacred cantata "The Beautiful City" to a capacity house Easter Sunday evening. Credit is due Mrs. Webb Ellis, who played the parts of the pilgrim and the teacher, and Mrs. O. H. McFarlin, who played the part of the temper. The Sunday School exercises were in keeping with the spirit of Easter. The little tots played well their parts, to the delight of many who witnessed the exercises.

Chicago, Ill.—Attorney N. K. McGill has been appointed assistant state's attorney for Cook County. --- THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLJIN APPEAL To the Editor of the Bulletin Appeal: Please allow space in your mail for me to state the WHEREFORE AND WHY of my nonparticipation in the Union Revival now being conducted in the Saintly City. I do this not because I have felt any tinge of guilt or conviction, but for the purpose of frankly and truthfully vindicating myself and church. I start this explanation by saying, "Men should be men." The first of my knowledge of the thought or idea of a union revival brooding, was better than two and one-half months ago at the home of Rev. L. W. Harris, at which time and place the Baptist Womens' District Board meeting was in session. It was at this meeting that the Rev. L. W. Harris informed us that Rev. Griffin had already announced from his pulpit that such meeting would be. At this meeting there were only two of the baptist pastors present which were the Rev. L. W. Harris and myself. A very strong fight was made against the movement, by one of the Baptist ministers which happened not to be the writer of this article. The grounds of this strenuous objection is strictly sectarian and I therefore reserve the right to keep it to myself and God. The following Tuesday the Twin City Ministers Alliance convened at the home of Rev. T. J. Carr. At this meeting the Rev. Griffin mentioned the Union Revival to the Alliance after some discussion in favor of such movement the strongest of which was made by the Baptist minister who so strenuous objected to just a day before, this matter was passed up and nothing definite was done regarding it. There was no such agreement as to such meeting at this time. All of a sudden, like a thunder bolt from a clear sky, there appeared in the Bulletin Appeal a notice that there would be a union revival at this time and that Dr. D. A. Holms of Kansas City would preach, that this meeting would be under the auspices of St. James A. M. E. church and the Pilgrim Baptist church, and other churches. Which statement was an exaggeration as there had been none of the pastors who knew anything about it but the Revs. Harris and Griffin. On Wednesday, the day the preaching was to begin, Rev. Harris called on the Rev. T. J. Carr, asking him to take part and was informed that such matters would have to be taken up in prayer meeting that night, as they did not know it Sunday, that an answer would be given Thursday. The Rev. Gambel was likewise invited. A meeting of the pastors was called Thursday, which meeting I knew nothing of until it was over, and that just by chance. Now besides what has been said and what could be said, I am conducting a meeting in Minneapolis. God is wonderfully blessing us there. Dr. McGee will begin our meeting Sunday. This is some of the wherefore and why. I have no ill-feeling toward any of my fellow-workers. I am praying for their success, but again I say, we should be frank; be pig or pup. I pray for only two things, knee room to pray and standing roomtopercaG.hod7890$0 and standing room to preach. God will give the results. (Signed) MEMORIAL BAPTIST NOTES Rev. C. B. Burton, Pastor Preaching 11 a. m. and 8 p. m.; Sunday School 1 p. m.; B. Y. P. U. 6 p. m. The pastor preached a most forcible sermon in the morning. Rev. Fuller of the St. Anthony Baptist Church, Minneapolis, preached an excellent sermon in the evening. The rally is still on. Those who have not paid their pledges are expected to do so. The pastor has been conducting a revival in Minneapolis at the St. Anthony Baptist Church for the past two weeks, and has had splendid success. Baptizing will be held for the candidates of St. Anthony Baptist Church Sunday evening at the services. Dr. Robinson of Des Moines, Iowa, will preach Sunday morning and will address the missionary mass meeting in the afternoon at 3 o'clock. Dr. McGee of Omaha will preach in the evening. Preparations are now being made for the coming delegates of the B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Convention, to be held here June 16 to June 20. The students' musical sponsored by the B. Y. P. U. Tuesday evening proved to be quite unique and a delightful affair. URBAN LEAGUE NOTES The West Side Mothers' Club, under the direction of Mrs. Birdie High, meet on last Friday at the Neighborhood House. Forty-one garments have been distributed to needy mothers.

The next meeting will be held on Friday May 8th, at 2:00 P. M. Chicago, Ill.—Estelle Bell, 4756 State St., while walking in her sleep, calmly stepped out of a three-story window, suffering only minor injuries. By The Squirrel The students' musical at Memorial Baptist Church, Rice and Fuller, Tues, day, April 28, under the auspices of Memorial B. Y. P. U., was favored with a very large and appreciative mixed audience, and when I voice my sentiments I know all present will agree with me when I say the students' musical will go down in history in a class alone, as it was the equal of any given by our group anywhere in the Northwest. On entering one was led to expect great things, the church being artistically decorated for the occasion. The color used was old rose shade for the wall light, with the ceiling light out. A small amount of red and yellow adorned the wall over the chair's stand, making a beautiful background for the stage setting, which was a picture in itself. A baby grand occupied one corner, and on each end of the stage a large palm. A large wicker chair occupied the far corner; two beautiful floor lamps also were used; one for the chair and the other by the piano. To see the young lady ushers in white, presenting you with a printed program, and to see the president of the Union and his assistants walking around in their Tuxedos, started you to thinking—were you dreaming or were you still in St. Paul. Taking my seat just back of two prominent citizens of our race, I happened to overhear their conversation. One said that he could not stay very long as he had to go to his lodge, for they had a "hog killing," but when the program started that brother forgot everything, for he was there when the last number appeared. I cannot blame him for staying, for no one could leave willingly until he had seen it all. From the very beginning to the end one never knew what to expect, for they entered the auditorium from the rear room. St. Paul has never witnessed such a gathering of young people, displaying their beautiful gowns and their wonderful talent. After all was over and I collected myself, I strolled near the front to learn who was to receive the credit for bringing to us such a well rendered, staged and managed musical. I was informed they were Rev. C. B. Burton, pastor, S. B. Williams, president of the B. Y. P. U., Miss De Quince Jordan, secretary, Miss Thelma Williams, chairman of the program committee, Mr. James Hargraves, committee in charge. Everyone appearing on the program was a student of some institution of music. I would be doing all concerned an injustice if I did not make mention of two numbers, one a vocal solo by Margaret L. Parke, "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," by H. T. Burleigh; the other a reading, "The Unsung Hero," by Eula Belle Moore. These two numbers brought the audience to their feet in applauding. Every number was rendered with a real artistic touch and highly appreciated by the audience. Those appearing on the program were Misses Sonora Pleasant, Teal Phillips, Georgia Lee Puyne, Mildred Bolden, Margaret L. Parke, De Quince Jordan, Eula Hargraves, Eula Belle Moore, Dollie Jordan, Thelma Williams, Ventrass Harris and Mr. Leonard Oliver. The committee wishes to thank the public for their loyal co-operation in making the students' musical a success, and extends an invitation to all their Sunday services.

Penn, the organizer of the De Luxe Syncopators, is extending an invitation to all musicians of the Twin Cities to meet him at Travis' (Thann's), 40 E. Third St. ,Sunday, May PETER 2, at 2 P. M. sharp. Mr. Penn, an experienced band and orchestra leader for years, is known in many cities in the East as an organizer of young bands and orchestras. He has also been reproducer and musical director for many professional companies, such as musical comedies, minstrels, etc. He is qualified to write, arrange, or teach all musical instruments. All that is required to become a member of this band is to have a little knowledge of the rudiments of music. The purpose of this meeting is to organize and find out just how many instruments and how many musicians we have, and a rehearsal date will be announced, which will be once a week. You will not have to pay any teacher's fee; all the expense you will be put to is to buy your music or pay for a little advertising, which will not amount to over 50 cents a month each, if that much. Don't forget the place, the date and the hour. For more particulars call Benj. T. Penn, Elkhurst 4000. Trusted Employees Victimize Trusted Employees Victimize Robert S. Abbott Publishing Co. officials were overwhelmed by the enormity of figures. Roscoe Conkling Simons is a nephew of the late Booker T. Washington, and has been prominent as an orator and politician. During the Coolidge campaign he had charge of the public speakers under Wm. C. Matthews, chairman of the Colored Branch of the Republican National Committee. Not long ago he was married to a prominent young lady of Louisville, Ky., who is alleged to have left him after a brief honeymoon and returned to the home of her parents. Jones has been a prominent figure in Chicago for some years, having started with the Defender at its inception, and enjoyed the implicit confidence of his employer. Anderson was educated in the Chicago schools, and is a man of middle age with a tendency toward conservatism. He is a man of ability and capable of filling an editorial position creditably. Bell belonged to the younger set, and liked to enjoy life. He craved the things that brought excitement after the monotony of a hard day with the exacting details of keeping a set of books for a large and growing publication. These men have been the recipients of benefactions from Robert S. Abbott, whose confidence they ruthlessly betrayed. Only Anderson is said to possess property. The other three are practically without financial means. Criminal prosecution is talked of and the next few days may find the miscreants in the toils of the law. The auditors have not completed the examination of the publisher's affairs. Robert S. Abbott, president of the corporation, is reticent in the matter but is advised by counsel. Mr. Abbott is in complete charge of the plant which represents one of the biggest industrial enterprises in the country, owned and "manned" by race men and women. How far the demoralization of the working force may reach cannot be determined without thorough investigation. Mr. Abbott is a just man and will not act hasty. However, it may require a complete change in many of the departments to bring order out of chaos. Public sympathy for Mr. Abbott is general, along with the bitter condemnation of the perfidious acts of the men in whose confidence he had implicit faith and so shamefully abused. W. D.
