NEGRO BUSINESS EXHIBITION, NOVEMBER 15TH AND 16TH,1922 HUNDREDS WILL SEE EXHIBIT Citizens Protest Segregated Park VOL. I, NO. 43 Minn. Historical Society Minn. Historical Bldg. Saint Paul, Minnesota THE PLAN TO BUILD A SEPARATE PARK BITTERLY OPPOSED Citizens Meet With Aldermanic Board to Fight Un-American Move. CITE LAW AGAINST SEGREGATED PARKS Protests are Received Attentively—Delegations Suggestions Approved. Saint Louis, Missouri, Nov. 10—Following the rumors that the Board of Alderman was considering an item in the proposed bond issue for a Negro Park, a representative group of colored citizens attended a hearing before the Aldermanic Committee last Wednesday evening and entered their protest against such a measure. A request for the item to establish a segregated park for Negroes was presented to the Board of Alderman last week by members of the so-called O'Fallon Park Protective Association. This Association, as will be remembered, has been seeking some cheap notoriety at the expense of the Negroes by protesting against the use of the park by Negroes. After the Mayor and Park Commissioner turned down their protest as deserving no consideration, these misfit, disgruntled citizens (and there is some doubt as to whether all of them were citizens) went before the Board of Aldermen with their segregated idea only to receive a cold shoulder from that body. Arguments Answered The delegation of Negroes who went before the Aldermanic Committee made a strong logical answer to the segregationist, citing law, custom and reason; righteousness, justice and truth. One speaker in combating the movement said: "Would the citizens of the city not be angry if you gentlemen would speak of creating a special park for the German citizen of the city, or for the Italian citizens or for the Greek citizens?" During the arguments offered by the delegation the Aldermanic Committee was quite attentive to all that was said. President Aloe showing unusual interest in the case. After listening to the arguments the Committee voted approval of the suggestions offered by the delegation. RACES MINGLE AT 'MELTING POT' BALL New York City, Nov. 10—All the ingredients in America's "melting pot" were present at a ball at the Hotel Astor, 44th St. and Broadway, on the night of October 27.

Jones of St. Paul, it is reported, is finding much favor with the popular song lovers of the Eastern States. The title of this pretty song is "Eloise" written smoothly in waltz tempo. It seems to have all the ear marks of a surface hit. Mr. Jones is to be in colaboration with Mr. N. C. Davis, the prolific composer, of Nashville, Tenn., in the production of other songs in the near future. Mr. G. W. Amerige, Manager of the American Popular Music Bulletin says, "The listing of this song on its individual merit as a favorite promises to become not only popular but a standard feature. Preacher Admits Having 40 Wives Arch Bigamist Tells Dayton Police He Has Wedded Forty Wives Since 1890. Dayton, O., Nov. 10—William L. Jones, colored, fifty-six years old, told the police, they declare, that he is married to forty women, none of whom are dead or divorced, so far as he knows. Jones, according to his story as related by the police, began his matrimonial career in 1890 after serving as a minister for several years, and continued until a short time ago, when his fortieth wife was acquired in Chicago. Jones was arrested for attempting to pass a $200 check which a Cleveland bank refused to honor. Jones married nine women between 1890 and 1903, police say he admitted, and lived with one woman from 1903 to 1917 because she had "plenty of money." This gave out in 1917 and he started out again marrying two or three a year until 1921 when he added ten to his list, according to the police version of his story. During the first ten months this year he has taken on fifteen additional wives, he was said to have declared. Nine women were married in Chicago, four elsewhere in Illinois; four each in Pennsylvania and New York; six each in Ohio and Michigan; two each in Tennessee and one each in Missouri, Kansas and Wisconsin, according to Jones.

The shooting occurred at the home of Mrs. L. P. Holmes, near the business section of the city. Those involved in the shooting, other than the officers, are colored. According to Mrs. Holmes, Jones had been a roomer at her house and returned late this afternoon in an intoxicated condition and started shooting as soon as he entered the house.

TROTTER MAKES PLEA URGING HARDING TO ACT Executive Gives Audience to Delegation of Equal Rights League. Washington, D. C., Nov. 10.—A delegation of the National Equal Rights League had an audience with President Harding at the Whitehouse office Saturday for the purpose of speeding up action by the United States senate on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. The audience had been arranged through Senator H. C. Lodge of Massachusetts and lasted 30 minutes. The delegation consisted of Wm. Monroe Trotter, a citizen of Massachusetts, M. W. Spencer of Delaware, J. L. Neill of Tennessee, Rev. E. A. Abbott of New York, Rev. W. O. Carrington of North Carolina, Rev. J. L. Pinn of New York, T. A. Johnson of Georgia, J. L. Taylor of Alabama, H. P. Slaughter of Kentucky, editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal, with Trotter as spokesman. Mr. Trotter explained the mission to be that of urging the President to use the powers, prestige and influence of his position and of his personality to speed up actual enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill by the U. S. senate, especially in connection with the contemplated extraordinary session this month, as it was a remedy for mob murders and these were continuing at the average rate of one each week. He then presented a petition with 10,000 signatures from nearly 30 states, asking the President to name the bill in his call for the extra session. The first petition was from the President's home town, Marion, Ohio. One was from Omaha, Neb., one from members of the 24th U. S. infantry at Fort Bennig, Ga., several from Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, etc. The President expressed himself as in sympathy with the cause presented.

NAT'L OFFICERS MAY ATTEND Popularity Contest Creates Much Interest—Other Features Planned for Event. That the attendance of the Grand Business Exhibition to be given Wednesday and Thursday nights at Union Fall will run into several hundred people, is the prediction of officials promoting the affair which is to be staged under the auspices of the local Negro Business League. Along with a score of other attractions, interesting programs in keeping with the events have been arranged for each night of the exhibition. On the first night, Mayor Arthur E. Nelson is slated as the principal speaker. Mr. Owen Howell, president of the League, is also scheduled to make remarks relative to the aims and objects of the League. The second night of the exhibition, Attorney B. S. Smith of Minneapolis will be the principal speaker. He will undoubtedly speak on the value of business co-operation. Dr. John R. French, chairman of the Exhibition Committee, who has done a very creditable piece of working in successfully promoting the largest and first affair of the kind in the Northwest, will also deliver an address. In a letter from Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, the secretary stated that he was very gratified to learn of the business men of this city promoting such a business exhibition and wished the effort much success. He also stated that he would make an eff otro eetaoinetaoinshrdieuot an effort to have one of the national officers of the league in this section of the country to attend. However, it is not known at this time, if any national officers will be able to attend. Mr. Frank Gillespie, founder of the Liberty Life Insurance Co., and Mr. N. D. Brascher of the Associated Negro Press, Chicago, are the only national officers who could possibly arrange to be here for the exhibition. Scores of Attractions Over a score of Negro business enterprises in the city have taken space at the hall for the purpose of placing on exhibition their products or advertising their services. Each exhibitor has agreed to contribute at least two prizes to be given away free during the exhibit. Besides these attractions; a style show, several musical numbers and dancing will make up the program for the two nights. The Popularity Contest between nine young ladies, five from St. Paul and four from the Mill City is a hot one and is attracting no little interest, not only locally but through-out the country. The contestants are running neck and neck at the present time, friends of each contestant hopeful of putting their candidate over the top. Voting is heavy and from the present indications the most popular young lady in the Twin Cities will not have been decided until voting closes the last night of the exhibit. All indications point to a record attendance at Union Hall both Wednesday and Thursday nights. Interest in the progress of Negro business in the city during the last decade, has grown very intense, and the league has spared nothing to make the affair an epoch in Negro business life to the city. Many of the tickets have been reported to have already been sold by members of the committee. Tickets may be obtained from nearly every Negro business man or woman in the city. THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN CHARLES A. WILLIAMS ..... Manager WALTER H. CHESNUTT ..... Managing Editor MRS. AIMEE HALL ..... Social Editor Entered as second-class matter February 20, 1922, at the postoffice at St. Paul, Minn., under the Act of March 3, 1879. The fine exhibition of co-operation by the business men in promoting the business exhibition in this city is one of the most intelligent and progressive movements that could have been inaugurated and is deserving of the support of every citizen in the community. At the last meeting of the National Negro Business League held at Norfolk, Va., Dr. Moton, president of the League, in his annual address, urged the Negro Business Men of the Country to organize Trade Boosting Campaigns. These campaigns, it was pointed, would greatly aid in boosting Negro Business. The Colored fair recently held at Norfolk, Va., the Trade Boosting Campaign pulled off by the business men of Atlanta, Georgia and the proposed campaign of similar nature now being planned by the business league of Waycross, Georgia, are other splendid moves and designed to stimulate and advertise Negro business and to encourage patronage of our own business. These exhibitions staged by local branches of the national league, in themselves are splendid displays of co-operation, besides being signs of greater co-operative moves in the interest of Negro business. The supremacy of the white business, in the economic field, may be partly attributed to the spirit of co-operative business promotion. The adoption of the fine shows of business co-operation of white business organizations by Negro business, will do much to raise the standard of our own business. Although the number of Negro businesses in this section is small, we have a number of enterprises which readily measure up and surpass many similar enterprises owned by whites. In St. Paul we have some substantial enterprises owned by race members of which we should be proud and are proud. The organization of the business league where these same successful manipulators may exchange their progressive ideas, has already proven itself worthy to those who believe in co-operation. The attempt of the young league to stage such an exhibit as is about to be put over is a great achievement. If the Twin City people patronize the efforts of the St. Paul Business League, in this, their first attempt, to do something, they will have done their duty and put St. Paul Negro Businesses in the ranks of the "up and doing." The change of the political situation throughout the country brought about by the election has caused a deal of unrest in the republican ranks of the country. The decisive defeat of republican candidates at the hand of the voters of the country during this republican administration does not necessarily mean that republicanism is dying out but that the demand for men who will listen to and represent the people who elected them has risen to a greater ebb than the old question of loyalty to the party. Of course, it is early to determine other matters that may have been brought to bear on the results but it has been decisively proven that voters are gradually drawing away from party lines and giving more consideration to individual candidates.
