VOL. I, NO. X. MAURICE MAYS ELECTROCUTE AT NASHVILLE Sentence Carried out on Time as Scheduled in High State Court. ACCUSED SLAYER PROTESTS INNOCENCE Citizens Severely Criticize Governor's Attitude Taken In Case. Nashville, Tenn., Mar. 24—Maurice Mays was electrocuted here last Wednesday. The fight to save the life of Mays who was charged with a murder which was the contributing cause of the Knoxville riot in 1918 has attracted the attention of the entire country. Mays gave up all hopes of clemency by the governor in whose hands his fate rested after General James A. Fowler and friends came to him on Tuesday night and informed him all efforts had failed. "I am as innocent as the sun that shines" said Mays. He also denounced the governor, saying, "I would not be going to my death today if the man who sits in the governor's chair had any backbone." Governor Taylor had received petitions from every section of the country appealing to him in behalf of the condemned man, but he refused to interfere. The Governor in December granted a 90 days stay. Mays charged his apathy was due to the fact that a campaign for re-election was on. The young man was convicted of entering the home of three white women at night for the purpose of robbery and shooting one of them. A mob formed with the intention of lynching him, but the sheriff had removed him to Knoville. The mob proceeded to wreck the jail, liberate 30 or 40 prisoners, taking 300 gallons of liquor and breaking in many hardware stores, stealing pistols and other valuables. State troops were called out and in the resulting conflicts several people both colored and white were killed. The case of Mays has been fought thru all the courts of the state and public sentiment among a great many of both races is that the youth was a victim of circumstances. GRAND JURY SELECTED; NEGRO MAN TO SERVE When the grany jury begins its three months' session on April 3, there will be on the bench one colored man, in the person of S. E. Hall, 996 Iglehart avenue. This is the first time in twenty-five years that there has been a colored man on the grand jury in Ramsey county. Mr. Hall has had only three predecessors that were colored. These were Messrs. Thomas H. Lyles, the first colored man to serve on grand jury in Minnesota; J. C. Bell, and Johin Q. Adams. All these men served more than twenty-five years ago. Mr. Adams is the only one of these who is now living.

NEGRO "PONZI" SOUGHT BY HELENA CITIZENS Helena, Mont.—Helena's Colored colony would much like to renew acquaintance with one H. H. Harrie, late of Atlanta, Ga., where, as he told it, he was a leading financier of his race. Mr. Harrie has left here, and a large draft on an Atlanta bank has come back, marked "no funds." While here Mr. Harrie was ostensibly engaged in locating heirs to a large estate left by an Atlanta colored man so he announced. He seems to have been successful in inducing local people to give him money. ```markdown ``` THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Commissioner Discusses Negro Educational Status Commissioner Discusses Negro Educational Status 1,109 PEOPLE BOUGHT THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN—THE PAPER, TO QUOTE A SUBSCRIBER, THAT HAS BOTH THE APPEARANCE AND THE QUALITY OF A REAL NEWSPAPER.

PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1922 United States Commissioner of Education gives his Views on Negro Education. COUNTRY AFFECTED BY EDUCATIONAL NEGLECT Immaterial Benefits Scarcely can be Estimated as to the Value of the Colored Man. (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., March 23—That the material and moral interests of the whole country are involved in the question of Negro education is the substance of an interview given out by Dr. John J. Tigert, United States Commissioner of Education, on his return from a recent conference in Nashville with the heads of the 28 State and Federal Land Grant Colleges for Negroes. The fact that Dr. Tigert is a native of Tennessee and has always lived in the South adds significance to his statement which follows in full: "The neglect of Negro education has resulted in an immeasurable loss to the country. It has not only affected the material prosperity, especially of the South, where the Negro population is greatest, but has likewise affected the standard of living and the character of citizenship, and has injured the morals of our people. If we had long ago made provision for the technical education of our Negro population, the increase in the value of our products, both agricultural and manufacturing, would have been incalculably great. The intangible and immaterial benefits which would have accrued can scarcely be estimated, nor can we form any estimate of what would have been the effect upon the Negro himself by way of encouragement, arousing ambition and increasing his value as a citizen." PolicewomanMakes Sensational Arrest Colored Policewoman First in Toledo Calls out Riot Gun Squad. (Associated Negro Press) Toledo, Ohio, March 25—Miss Esther Ferguson, Toledo's new Colored police woman caused a sensation when she made her first arrest this week. She arrested three men and haled them to the nearest police box. She reached in and pulled the handle. When the patrol wagon didn't arrive at once, she pulled it twice again. That was not the signal. Two patrol wagons of bluecoats, two speed cars carrying eight vice squad detectives, a detective automobile with six detectives aboard, three detectives afoot and a motorcycle policeman rushed to the scene and preparations were made for riot-gun squads. The panting officers were as much astonished as the new policewoman. Rev. H. L.

DISTRICT COURT ACQUITS MAN OF ASSAULT CHARGE Joseph Jones is Acquitted of Charges Brought by Packing House Strikers JURY RETURNS VERDICT IN FIVE MINUTES Man Acted in Self Defence When Attacked by Strikers is Shown by Evidence Produced Joseph Jones, employee at South St. Paul, who was indicted early in January by the grand jury, charged with assault with intent to kill, by packing house strikers, was acquitted of the charge before Judge Catlin in district court last Friday.

STEWARD IS MONARCH OVER SHIP KITCHEN (Associated Negro Press) Baltimore, Md., March 23—The Captain may be boss of the ship but the steward is boss of the kitchen, Judge Rose held indirectly yesterday in United States District Court when he awarded William Barnes, Colored, steward of the schooner Annadale $750 for wages and for expenses incurred in treating a bullet wound inflicted by Capt. John F. Gnatt in a battle in midcoast. Barnes shipped on the vessel at Newport News. When they were 12 days out he and the captain engaged in an argument as to what time of day dinner ought to be served. After the argument the steward visited the Captain's quarters.

Bombay, March 23—India's non-co-operative leader, Mohanda K. Gandhi, has been arrested and sentenced to six years in prison at Ahmedabad, 310 miles north of Bombay and charged with sedition, it was announced by the India office. Gandhi's arrest, it is feared, may cause an uprising although no serious trouble has been reported as yet. Close followers of the situation believe Gandhi's arrest the result of a new British effort to stop the "pacifist" movement which many believe has gone too far to be checked by the mere arrest of its leaders. A.N.P.Celebrates Fourth Birthday Anniversary Colored Press Bureau Maintains Splendid Service over Period of Four Years Without Break. Chicago, Ill., March 23—March 21, was the beginning of the Fourth year of the establishment of the Associated Negro Press. During the entire period the service has been issued without a break, and has grown from serving a mere handful of newspapers to a membership of more than 100 throughout the United States. The establishment of the Associated Negro Press, with Executive officers in Chicago, was the first effort of racial journalism to furnish regularly general news affecting Colored people. There had been news bureau, news agencies and national correspondents who dealt with local happenings, but it remained for A. N. P. to be the first to endeavor to assemble and distribute news from all sections of America and other countries. The success of the effort in an educational way, is difficult to estimate. Prior to A. N. P., editors were compelled to get their news "catch as catch can." It was not only impossible to get unified news, of a reliable source, but a big news story seldom appeared in all the newspapers simultaneously. ANP has greatly helped this situation. One of the most notable illustrations in the history of the race for unified news and action, was with reference to the recent national memorial services for Colonel Charles Young, sponsored by the Associated Negro Press. It marked a new era in national achievement, and paved the way for other efforts. LIBERIA DUPED IN RECENT TREATY (Associated Negro Press) Paris France, March 22—Liberia was the victim of a bad bargain appears to be the conclusion reached by certain officials and journalists, regarding the recent treaty agreements reached by the government of the African Republic and the United States. The Depeche Coloniales, the leading journalistic authority on French Colonial matter said recently: "The treaty constitutes a veritable annexation of Liberia by the United States as Liberia becomes purely and simply an African colony of the United States and not merely an American protectorate." Imperial Ku Klux Pledges to Return Bullock to U. S. Hickory, N. C., March 23—A million members of the order of the Ku Klux Klan from Texas to Maine are pledged to see that Matthew Bullock, colored man wanted at Norlina, N.

NO MORE SLEEP FOR PULLMAN CONDUCTORS (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., March 23—No longer will the poor railroad traveler look in vain for the Pullman conductor after nightfall, providing the resolution of the Order of Sleeping Car Conductors in convention at the Hotel Sherman is adopted by the raffords.

His success, regardless of the obstacles placed in his path, has caused scotters to become admirers. Lately, several well known American Weeklies have seen fit to devote a portion of their space to the subject of "Color Lines Among Colored People." The results of their efforts indicated that they might find a more educating phase of the American Negro life to place before their readers. The articles seem to be an attempt to discourage the Negro from the self-segregation into which he feels he has been forced by the discriminating people. Since he has found himself not wanted in the white circles, the Negro has confined himself to spending his leisure hours with his own race. His labors seldom bring out the quality of his brain, his "off" hours are therefore devoted to its development. The best student is usually the one who selects his own subject. The Negro has always had the selection of his subject left to him. As yet the test of the Negro mind has not found it lacking, nor has it ever been drained. It can, therefore, be considered that because of his brain, and not his skin, the NEGRO IS THE UNKNOWN QUANTITY.

It is good news, nevertheless, and we sincerely hope that at the meeting to be held Monday night, some definite scope of action will be mapped out. There is much work for an organization composed of business men and women in the Twin Cities and this existence of a branch of the National Negro Business League in this city.

The common association of persons in business, to say the least, has a recognized value in business. There are many benefits derived from such association. So, it behooves those who have been elected to lead our local organization, to lead and arrange programs of interest, beneficial to those in business. If meetings were called at too frequent intervals causing the recent inactivity, here is possibly one reason for the lack of interest which should be remedied. If there are others, Monday night will be a good opportunity to delve into this matter.

Whether they are Negroes, Colored people, "race folk," or those of "our group" we are not capable of clean-cut delineation. It is agreed, however, that all of this makeshift nomenclature is cumbersome and tends to bewilder both those without and those within the pale of African descent. Dipping into ethnology and history a bit and in reviewing the achievements of Egyptians, Madgars, Ethiopians, etc., who are recorded as black people and of African descent, it would be obviously and extremely unfair to cut off their posterity from history by styling them as Negroes. The word Negro was never used in early civilization when Africa was in flower. The Negroid races were not called Negroes and to call their descendants such, "robs them of that which does not enrich others but leaves them poor indeed." The term "colored people" does not describe and classify those of African descent adequately and intelligently. Color is produced by pigmentation. Where there is no pigment, there is no color. White races have little or no pigment and therefore no color. It clearly follows that all races that are not white are colored. This throws the yellow, Malay, red and black races pell mell into Babylonian confusion. The term "colored" does not segregate and identify with clarity the people of African descent throughout the world. Some scribes in America of Ethiopian ancestry have taken unto themselves to style their fellows are "race folks." In periodicals and newspaper the terms "race man" and "race woman" is used indiscriminately. It is not scientifically clear whether the scribes mean the African race, the colored race or the recently mancipated Afrian in America. It would be more conducive to clear thinking and unclouded understanding to state just what race is referred to. It would certainly add pride and respect to dismiss this artful wile of dodging the problem of whom we are. Some more audacious ones have recently introduced the term "our group" and this term has been absorbed and assimilated by the unthoughtful and careless. What upshot does this jargon about "our group" carry with it? Does it stimulate a greater race pride? Does it promote a firmer and cleaner race psychology? A group is an isolated portion of a mass. It is true that from the heterogeneous masses of people offers have been made to segregate and isolate the descendants of African forefathers. It is undisputed that laws have been established in America declaring a one-sixteenth percentage of African blood is a sufficient proportion to bar claim to the white race. External forces seek to make those of African descent a race. Internal forces seek to minimize and bring us down to a "group." It appears to us that it is entirely beitting and becoming to acknowledge our ancestry. Most of us are undisputably descendants from black people. Black people undisputably belong to the black race. If it is prejudice and race hatred which would throw those of black ancestry into the black race, why not capitalize this prejudice and hatred and assert that even though we are yellow, brown and even white in complexion that we ARE members of the black race. "TO THE END" men in Philadelphia said our people," meaning the amount of enthusiasm, observation has gone, and 10 per cent business, worked up on almost any but when it comes to necessary for the success of feet, and usually there admit this, and we did not, but the gentleman have had almost as wide with our people as we had use with a large number, the number of whom it is, the number of men who enthusiasm, but also aids of business, and these their devotion to details, breath to the end to ensure business, the man who fails to sit down and come up that threaten to usually fails. But we long day by day, men who and women too, who do who do look at business, these are becoming the special affairs of our people, built only on enthusiast trained man who can men and young women, who will be discount are no difficulties that can no problems that can extend themselves strictly the end. "HE THAT ENDURETH TO THE END" One of the leading business men in Philadelphia said to the writer the other day, "Your people," meaning the Colored people, "have a great amount of enthusiasm. Indeed they are, so far as my observation has gone, about 90 per cent enthusiasm, and 10 per cent business. You can get a Colored man worked up on almost any proposition to the boiling point, but when it comes to carrying out the details that are necessary for the success of the proposition, they get cold feet, and usually there is nothing doing." Of course, we did not want to admit this, and we did our best to defend the proposition, but the gentleman who talked with us seemed to have had almost as wide and varied business experience with our people as we had had ourselves. While what he said may be true with a large number, yet there is an increasingly large number of whom it is not true. Every year sees a larger number of men who not only have a large per cent of enthusiasm, but also a large per cent of devotion to details of business, and these men are succeeding because of their devotion to details In religion, it is "He that endureth to the end shall be saved," it is the same thing in business, the man who quits is the loser. The man who fails to sit down and count the cost, when difficulties come up that threaten to choke his ambition is the man who usually fails. But we are thankful that there are growing day by day, men who sit down and count the cost, men and women too, who do take time to master the details, who do look at business proposition with a clear eye, and these are becoming the leaders in the business and financial affairs of our people. The time of haphazard leadership, built only on enthusiasm, is passing, and the thoroughly trained man who can stick is coming to the front. There are thousands of young men and young women who have started out on careers, who will be discouraged; they will find that there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome and there are no problems that cannot be solved. And if they attend themselves strictly to business, they will reap in the end. —Christian Recorder to equal the man above the bottom and learns s prepared himself for at the opinion that no Always look ahead and strive to equal the man above you. The man who starts in at the bottom and learns every detail of life's affairs has prepared himself for higher duties. Did you ever stop to think that the opinion that you have of yourself may not be shared by anyone else? You may be the only one who thinks about yourself that way. Many of us parents often mistake mannishness in our boys for manliness, and womannishness in our girls for womanliness, and go on ignorantly praising them for the wrong virtues until it is too late. —Chicago Whip NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Church News BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH Rev. Carl F. Steward, pastor of St James A. M. E. Church, of Minneapolis, recently of Chicago, will preach at Bethel A. M. E. Church Sunday afternoon, March 26th, at 3 P. M. Rev. T. B.

Plans for the Duplex system will be ready by the first Sunday in April. ST. PHILIP'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH "Go to Church Sunday" brought out a good congregation which was rewarded with an interesting sermon by Rev. A. H. Leatlead, on the text, "Man Liveth Not by Bread Alone."

CHURCH Our work is progressing nicely, and each Sunday morning Dr. Simmons gives us a sermon that can be truly classed as food for thought. This week Dr. G. R. Bryant, our district superintendent, will be here to look after the business of the Fourth Quarterly Conference. He is an able leader and we look forward to an excellent time at the Quarterly Conference. Our chorus sang at the Trinity M. E. Church, Marshall and Dewey, last Sunday evening. The audience gave a thunderous applause in response to the "Swanee-River," sung by Mr. Claude Jackson, who seemed more like a real artist when he modestly responded with an encore. Our Sunday School is keeping up its interest in the Easter program, and from all evidence the young folks will have a splendid program to offer us at their Easter program. PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. L. W. Harris, the newly called pastor, preached last Sunday and his sermon was enjoyed by all present. There was a very large attendance out to greet him.

Mr. Howard said that the people were forgetting to properly revere their Maker, and are straying away from their landmark. It is time to show by action, but the lack of co-operation among Christians is such that we are moving as indi. viduals and our returns for our ef. forts are small. That the responsi. bility lies upon the Christians to act as leaders and show the people the way back to the landmark of Christ's standard, was brought out in his final statement, “No organization car stand the test without God.” He firm: ly stated that we have failed to ree- ognize the necessity of God, and that those not thorough believers in Chris tianity are being led astray by the self-professed Christians, Mr, Ernest Starks made a few re. marks regarding the business train. ing that the negro was neglecting ir the home.

Joseph Strong, St. Paul, Minn., Dear Friend and Brother:— It is with sincere regret that it has become the painful duty of Go- pher Lodge, No. 105,1 BPO EW to share with you and to extend con dolence in your very recent bereave- ment, the loss of your companion In life’s struggles, and we point you to Him who says, “I will be a father to the fatherless and a husband to the widow.” It is God's way, his will be done, Dedicated to the memory of Mrs. Julia Strong she sleeps) : God gives us ministers of love which we regard not being near death who takes them from us. Then we feel that angels have been with us here. A Mother, Sister, Friend and Wife —they guide us, cheer us, sooth our pain, and when the grave has closed between our hearts and theirs, we love in vain. She sleeps, she sleeps when the morning light disperses the shadows of solemn night, when dew drops ar gleaming on the leaf and spray when blossoms are wooing the new born day, when birds are singing o'e1 hill and glen, will she wake, will shé speak to her loved ones then? She sleeps, she sleeps when the gentle spring returns from its south. land wondering when breezes sing and the children play, when the reap. ers scatter the new mown hay, wher they gather the sheeves of the golden grain, will she wake—will she come to her home again? She sleeps, she sleeps when the chilly winds shake the yellow leaves from the withered vines, when the autumn moon is full and red, when the birds are gone and ‘the flowers are dead, when the frost on the sward lies deep and hoar, will she wake, will she come to her home once more? She sleeps, she sleeps when they ‘meet at night in the cheerful glow of the home fire light, when the wintry winds are wild and high, when skies are black in the cold gray sky, when her husband’s brow is pale with care, will she wake, will she come to her dear ones here? Deep silence now. Never more will her foot steps fall by the old home door, nor her voice be heard with its loving tone by the loved ones left by her own hearth stone. She has gone. She has gone to her home, a far, to the beautiful land Where the angels are. Gopher Lodge, No, 105, Signed H. Hunter John F. Coquire George W.

N. I. A. Money is Used to Maintain Steamship Line is Admitted. New York City, March 23—That the "Black Star Line" literally bled the U N I A white has been conceded by officials of the organization here. Agreement is said to have been reached to dissolve the steamship line which ate up thousands of dollars and never yielded commensurate returns. If the steamship project is given up, it is pointed out, the U N I A will be able to get on a firm business basis for the first time in its history. The excursion steamer "Kanawha" which cost about $800 per month to operate, never brought in more than $500 per month. The old and unseaworthy "Yarmouth" ran the line into thousands of dollars of debt and into numerous suits before it was finally laid up in the West Indies, where its bones are now bleaching. Insiders declare that operation of the steamship line has resulted in suits against Garvey in nearly every court in New York. Two lawyers are retained to devote all of their time to these suits. Garvey even has suits in the Admirality Courts, where no black face was ever seen before. Laundries also Failed. Garvey's idea of pushing laundries in New York is said also to have lost money for him. Competition is too keen and the white laundries do the work cheaper. The only profit reported by his business enterprises was the string of grocery stores, which are said to have returned a handome profit, the income from which was used to support the losing steamship lines. $40,000 in Escrow. With respect to the indictment against him for fraudulent use of the mails, Garvey intends to show that he had $40,000 put in escrow for the purchase of a boat, and that there was never intention to defraud investors. Somebody Wuz Sayin' that Prosperity has at last bowed to Ed. Galloway, judging from the fact that he has purchased a new car and signed a contract with a western movie company. L. R. Jackson has announced that "There'll be some changes made." If Mr. J. Ogden Armour, South St. Paul, can only continue to provide a way for Inky Strong to enlarge his wardrobe, it won't be long before he will be generally recognized as the Twin City "Fashion Man." Minneapolis prohibition officials are planning to make a law which provides that every person entering a public dance, be searched and removed of all glassware, except diamonds, cut-glass, eye glass and glass eyes. MOORE AND QUIGLEY TO OPEN NEW BUSINESS G. W. Moore and Charles Quigley, two well-known St. Paul men, have entered into a partnership and will open a first-class barber shop and pocket billiard hall on Saturday, April 1st, at 490 St. Peter street. Mr. Moore, who has conducted a barber shop at 339 Minnesota street for several years, will move into the new location this week. He will have charge of the barber shop while Mr. Quigley will operate the billiard room. Do you remember the good times you used to have on the old boat last summer and the summer before that and so on? Well, it won't be long now. According to reports of the different organizations in the Twin Cities they have already arranged for their excursions. Get ready now 'cause it won't be long if you're watching the calender.

SPORTS FAST BASEBALL CLUB FOR UPTOWN SANITARY Enthusiastic baseball men met at the Uptown Sanitary System, 339 Wabasha street, Wednesday night at 8:15, and organized the Uptown Sanitary Baseball Club.
