TRAIN WRECK PROVES FATAL VOL.I, NO.48 THOUSANDS ATTEND BAPTIST MEETING IN ST. LOUIS, MO. Rev. L. K. Williams of Chicago Chosen to Succeed Dr. E. C. Morris. 3,000 DELEGATES FROM ALL PARTS OF COUNTRY Reports From Different Parts of Country; Many New Resolutions Adopted. The Rev. Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago was chosen president of the National Baptist Convention at the close of the annual session in St. Louis, Mo., to succeed the late Dr. E. C. Morris. The convention closed the forty-second annual session of the National Baptist Convention of America. It was scheduled to meet last September in Los Angeles, but was postponed on account of the railroad strike. It became imperative to hold a meeting this year, however, on account of the death of the president, so the convention was called for December 6th to 11th to be held in St. Louis, Mo. The citizens of St. Louis secured the Kings Theatre for the convention, which has a seating capacity of 3,000. Thousands of people from all parts of the country flocked to St. Louis to attend the convention. There were 3,000 delegates representing all the Baptist churches of the country. The convention opened at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, commemorating the life and service of the late Elias Camp Morris, D. D., who was the head of the National Baptist Convention for more than a quarter of a century. The services were impressive and pathetic, and he will live long in the hearts of his people. The afternoon session started at 2:30 p. m. with Rev. W. G. Parks presiding. A chorus of 100 voices under the direction of Prof. Austin lead in singing. Rev. Dr. Vansant, representing the white Baptists, extended welcome, and his address was punctuated with outbursts of applause. Rev. Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago, the newly elected head of the convention, one of the greatest preachers of the country and pastor of the largest church in America, with a membership of 10,085, delivered the address Wednesday evening to a crowded house. He portrayed the life and character of Jesus. He preached a wonderful sermon and won his way into the hearts of the people. Sunday morning there was a model Sunday School under the auspices of the Sunday School Publishing Board, Dr. A. M. Townsend, secretary. The president of the convention delivered the morning address. A missionary mass meeting was held Sunday afternoon under the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, Rev. J. E. East, secretary. Rev. B. M. Carver of Little Rock, Ark., preached for the evening services Sunday. Many reports were made which were exceptionally good and new resolutions adopted for the coming year. What might be termed, Dr. E. C. Morris' Valedictory Address was read by his son, Lieut. E. A. Morris, of Little Rock, Ark., manager of the Baptist Vanguard. This address was prepared by the late president for the California session which was to have been held last September. The convention closed Monday with a sermon at night by Rev. J. Bushnell of New York. NOTICE All news and advertising matter for our Special Christmas edition should reach our office before Wednesday noon to insure publication.

Alabama Disaster Kills Negro Miners Dolmite Mine Near Birmingham Has Calamity; More Than 50 Negroes Killed Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 16—Of the 84 persons who lost their lives in the frightful disaster at Dolmite Mine No. 3 near here last Wednesday more than fifty were Negroes it is said. The reported cause of the fatal disaster is said to have been when a string of coal dump cars broke loose ran away and dropped 800 feet down an incline and the impact created a cloud of dust. The crash of the runaway cars severed a high tension electric cable and the flash or sparks therefrom ignited the explosive coal dust. So terrific was the explosion that the shock was felt for several miles in surrounding territory. It is claimed that this mine has been in operation since 1882 without a serious accident until last Wednesday. The deadly after-damp formed immediately after the explosion caused the death toll to be so large. The breaking of the electric cable shut off the power and caused the ventilating fans to stop. It took about thirty minutes after the explosion to get the emergency fans run by gasoline engines in operation. UNITY CLUB SECURES SPACIOUS NEW HALL FOR CHRISTMAS BALL The Unity Club of St. Paul will hold their annual Xmas Ball Tuesday evening, December 26th at the Colesium Dancing Pavilion, Lexington and University Avenues, St. Paul, one of the largest dance floors in the Northwest.

The Colesium is conveniently located, being on the Minneapolis and St. Paul car line.

The building caught fire about 7:30 p. m. and was consumed in a short time. Otherwise, quiet has been restored and no further disturbances are anticipated. In Freestone county, near Streetman, seven colored persons have met violent deaths within the last few months. The most recent act of violence by a colored person in this vicinity was an unsuccessful attack on the wife of Sheriff Horace Mayo. This man is thought to have escaped but another colored man was shot and killed by a member of the posse when the black drew a gun. NEGRO YOUTH VICTIM OF MOB OF 1,000 MEN Streetman, Tex., Dec. 16.—George Gay colored 25 years old, accused of attacking a young white woman, was taken from Sheriff Mayo this afternoon, chained to a tree and shot to death by a mob estimated at more than 1,000 men.

Clemenceau Guest of St. Louis for One Day; Negroes Tender Their Respect. LETTER SIGNED BY PROMINENT CITIZENS Negroes of America Are Willing to Fight for France and Her Ideals. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 16—Georges Clemenceau, the Tiger of France premier and minister of war during the latter half of the World War, and the presiding officer of the Versailles conference, who arrived in the United States three weeks ago to cement friendship between the two republics was the guest of St. Louis last Friday. A large bouquet of flowers was presented to Clemenceau at the Pulitzer home in St. Louis County, from the colored people of St. Louis. The bouquet was at the Pulitzer home when Clemenceau returned from a three hour ride in St. Louis County. The card on the bouquet read: "To Mons. Georges Clemenceau: In honor and esteem of your life of service to your own people, and for your noble sentiment it fearlessly expressed as to meritorious service rendered by Negro troops. Vive la France." The note was signed by several names representing the citizens of St. Louis. Accompanying the flowers was a letter which in part said: "We feel safe in saying to magnanimous France that in any future call for armed assistance against a common danger the Negroes of America will eagerly respond to save France and her splendid ideals from destruction." Reception of the roses from the Negroes was the cause of considerable comment. The old French statesman defended the conduct of black troops along the Rhine. "I was told," he said, "that in only one case had a soldier been guilty of an indignity toward a woman, and he was cashiered." MINNEAPOLIS Mrs. John Sellars, 2741 10th Ave. So., is confined to her home with a bad cold. Mrs. E. B. James, 3924 4th Ave So., is suffering from an attack of asmetic bronchitis.

French Boxing Commission To Sponsor Siki-Carp Bout French Boxing Commission To Sponsor Siki-Carp Bout Siki Leaves Paris to Start Ten Weeks Training—Carp Accepts Terms. Paris, Dec. 15.—Battling Siki has not disappeared, but will soon start 10 long weeks on secret training far from the sirens of the city's streets and the wine which is red and ardent. He told the United News Monday that he was going to hide himself away and prepare for the return match with Georges Carpentier. His new manager, a man named Broullhet, had Siki in heavy conference, discussing the black battler's plans for a comeback in the esteem of France and the world of pugilism. The French boxing federation Monday decided to sponsor the return match between Siki and Georges, but on these conditions: Siki must first testify before a commission of the federation regarding the alleged fakery which was to have governed their previous bour; all receipts, including movie rights, must be given to charity and everybody who enters the stadium must pay admission including even the fighters themselves. And all these conditions are based on the broad condition that the faking shall be effectively whitewashed away, although how that is to be done, nobody seems to know. It is pointed out that Siki is either a villianous liar or an honest man and that Carpentier is either a faker or the victim of base accusation. Exonerate one and the other stands convicted. Carpentier returned to Paris and confirmed his acceptance of the return match on the federation's terms. However, he inserted a stipulation which may develop into a full-sized alibi. He said he must first see his director about it. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. will meet Sunday, December 17th at 4 p.m. at Pilgrim-on-the-Hill. Pilgrim Baptist Church Choir will furnish the music. Rev. Harris is to be the speaker of the day. The annual election of officers will take place. Members be sure and come and bring a friend. Miss Eva B. Walker again delighted her audience with another of her very successful plays last Monday evening when she presented "Young Mrs. Winthrop." Miss Walker is to be complimented for the able way in which she handled the role of "Mrs. Winthrop." The Bulletin notes with pleasure that Attorney W. T. Francis appears upon the December program of the St. Paul Theosophical Society and is to deliver an address, "The Race Problem, Its Cause and Effect," at its auditorium in the Midland Trust Building at 8 p. m., Sunday, December 17th. Mr. B. A. Stevens recently received the sad news of the death of his father in Calkville, Georgia. Negroes now own more farm land in Lower California than in California. --- ( Federation to Sponsor Bout. Carpentier Accepts. "Masher" Touched For $1060 by Two High Brown Girls Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 15.—C. C. Ramsey, Nashville, Tenn., a guest at the Longmoth hotel, says that he was robbed of $1,060 by two colored women whom he accosted while walking down Mulberry street. According to what has been learned, Hamsey was out trying to "mash the high brown girls" and had displayed his money in the faces of various women that he met. It is said that he forcefully embraced two women on Mulberry street and it appears that they embraced his wad. Vehement Denial Made In Letter By Emmett Scott Washington, Dec. 16.—In a lengthy letter prepared for the press, Emmett Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University vehemently denied that he had entered into any agreement with the Liberian government to receive any commission in event that the proposed Liberian loan of $5,000,000 should pass the Senate. Senator Harrison of Mississippi, charged in the Senate that Scott and four others would receive the sum of $650,000 if Liberia received the loan. FEDERAL COMPTROLLER TO HEAR BANK FIGHT Chicago, Ill., Dec. 16.—The fight over the affairs of the Douglass National Bank took a new turn late last week when Anthony Overton, president of the bank, accompanied by attorneys for the bank and P. W. Chavers, former president, accompanied by his attorneys, went to Washington to lay the fight before the Federal Comptroller of National Banks. Somebody Wuz Sayin' that— If John Waters is as popular as his constant stream of telephone calls indicate, Pres. Harding wouldn't stand a show with him in a popularity contest. With Christmas just around the corner it seems people have less money than they ever had. The big question these days is: What shall we do when New Years Eve comes on Sunday? If the young lady who danced at the Bluebird this week had not succeeded in escaping publicity, possibly her shows would be in demand for the remainder of the year. The Acme Club, since it has been entirely newly decorated on the interior has assumed a new and better appearance. Many have spoken well of the change. The International Community Welfare League has opened up new positions for five hundred Negro farm hands in Imperial Valley, California. NINE COLORED MEN AND FIVE WHITES SCALDED TO DEATH NINE COLORED MEN AND FIVE WHITES SCALDED TO DEATH Thirty Others Are Victims of a Train Collision Near Houston, Tex. PASSENGERS UNABLE TO ESCAPE SCALDING STEAM Doors Jam Tight Preventing Passengers From Escaping Certain Death. Houston, Texas, Dec. 14—Nine colored passengers and five white ones are dead as a result of being scalded to death or burns resulting from the collision of a passenger train and switch engine on the Houston East and West Texas railroad near Humble last night. Twenty-three persons are in hospitals here and at Humble, seriously burned, and additional fatalities are expected. The deaths were caused when a steam pipe from one of the engines in the wreck was broken and forced through a window in one of the cars. One compartment was occupied by negroes and the other served as a smoker. Stifling clouds of scorching vapor filled the coach and frantic passengers were unable to escape. Doors were jammed tight by the collision. Elevator Operator Seriously Injured Girl Employee of Minneapolis Athletic Club Is Crushed When Elevator Jumps.

Simmons, pastor of Camphor church has had a very successful year in his church work and the church has made a big stride forward under his leadership, during the past three years. 8 MORE DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS "DO IT NOW" WHAT RESTRICTED IMMIGRATION TO US What does restricted immigration mean to us? To begin with, immigration means to come into the country and emigration means to out of it. A distinction with a difference, you say? Very good. Now, then, who are citizens of the United States? The Constitution says that "all persons born or naturalized are citizens of the United States and of the States in which they reside." That is clear enough for a man who runs to read. More than $40\%$ of the people of the United States, who number more than 100,000-000, are foreign-born, and have come into the country since 1840. We should understand this fact, and measure the significance of it because these foreigners have their own ideas of clinging together in their social and occupation groups. They do not want to work with people who are not of their groups. They carry this clannishness into their service in railroad construction work, in hotel and restaurant service, and in all of the industrial occupations of the country. There will be a movement in the next Congress to let down the bars which now radically restricts immigration. The movement is fathered by the industries that employ unskilled labor, but it may go further unless the movement is watched carefully. The exploiters of labor in the hotel and restaurant service, as in all other of the skilled and unskilled occupations, know that wages are regulated by the supply; if there is a plentiful supply the wages are low, and if it is scarce, the wages are high. It is at this point that our hotel and restaurant workers are affected. The white waiters of the country are composed, as a body, almost entirely of foreigners, who make a business of it, and their descendants, who know what a good thing is, and cling to it. They organize their groups according to race, and they affiliate with the American Federation of the International. They will work with other Nationals, that is, with Germans, Frenchmen and Italians but they will not work with Negroes. The Negro is better adapted to and makes more success of the hotel and restaurant service than any other race group of the population. Without foreign competition, he has a monopoly of the business, and he should so organize as to make his monopoly a cinch, by making his service the best ever. The immigration restrictions that keep the foreigners out of the country, work to the advantage of our service group. It will be a long time before the immigration restrictions are removed. It should be our business to perfect organization among us and make our service so good and necessary that when the immigration restrictions are removed, it will not affect us in the least because we have cinched the occupations and are organized to protect our interests.
