CITIZENS TO HOLD MASS MEETING VOLUME II, NO 16 Kinn. Historical Society Minn. Historical Bldg. Saint Paul, Minnesota St. Pa Big Legal Fight Is Concluded W. T. Francis Scores Victory in Minneapolis Court Over Will Contest. TACOMA WOMAN GETS VERDICT IN LONG CASE Litigation Began Over Three Years Ago When Beneficiaries Disagreed. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week were busy days in the district court at Minneapolis, and when the three days' legal battle ended Judge Salmon granted the motion made by Lawyer Francis and directed the jury to return a verdict for Lucy Smith of Tacoma, Wash., and against Clara Rhone of Minneapolis, Minn., thus ending a legal battle in the courts at Tacoma and Minneapolis that has been on for three years. W. T. Francis of St. Paul represented Mrs. Smith during the entire time, and F. E. Clark and H. L. Scott of Minneapolis represented Mrs. Rhone in this last contest, Mrs. Rhone having had seven other lawyers prior to the last contest. The legal battle originally started over a will made by Margaret Simpson, also known as Maggle Martin, who formerly lived in Minneapolis, but later moved to Tacoma, Wash. While in Tacoma she was operated on for cancer. The day before the operation, July 15, 1918, she went to a lawyer's office and made a will, leaving half of her property to her friend, Lucy Smith, and the other half to her sister, Clara Rhone. After recovery from the operation she visited California and Colorado, and on December 15, 1919, she died at Starkville, Colo., leaving personal property in Tacoma and real property and other personal property in Minneapolis. Clara Rhone objected to the will and the first legal battle started on her objections in the probate court of Mennepin county, Minneapolis, in January, 1920, and she was defeated. Mrs. Rhone then shifted to the superior court at Tacoma, Wash., where she was beaten in two further contests. She then brought the controversy back to the probate court at Minneapolis and attempted to establish a lost will alleged to have been made by Mrs. Simpson after the other will was made, leaving everything to Mrs. Rhone, but which will could not be found. Hester Keys, Sarah Middleton and Charles Dunwoody were witnesses for Mrs. Rhone and claimed to have witnessed the lost will. The probate court denied Mrs. Rhone's petition to establish the alleged lost will, but sustained the former and original will and appointed Lucy Smith executrix of the estate. Not satisfied, Mrs. Rhone appealed to the district court at Minneapolis and demanded a jury trial. When the case was called for trial Mr. Francis objected to having it heard before a jury upon the ground that the question to be determined was a question of law for the court to decide. Mr. Clark maintained that the point involved was a question of fact and therefore should be submitted to a jury. Judge Salmon finally allowed a jury to be drawn, but at the close of the testimony, and on motion of Mr. Francis, would not allow the matter to be determined by the jury, but directed the jury to return a verdict in favor of Lucy Smith. Mrs. Lucy Smith was present at trial and has made three trips to St. Paul during these various contests. She left for Tacoma last Sunday, leaving all business in the hands of her attorney. Memorial services for the late Walter H. Chesnutt, which was to be held at St. James A. M. E. church, May 15th, has been postponed. Date will be announced later. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Gardener, 954 St. Anthony avenue, are the proud parent of a baby girl, who has been named Glorietta. Mrs. Gardener was formerly Elise Richardson. --- THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN COLONEL YOUNG TO BE HONORED IN HOME STATE ONLY COLORED AMERICAN RANKED AS A COLONEL Remains to Be Interred in Arlington Cemetery, Washington, D.

MODERN CHANGES REVERSE ORIGINAL PLAN Early Settlers Were Called Citizens —Later Branded As Contrabands. Dad Hickman, the old timer, says when he was a boy the first school he attended was way back in 1863. It was a one-room affair, known as "Miss Bray's school." This one-room school house was located on Walnut street, near West Seventh street. The dwelling house still stands, a relic of the early days of St. Paul. At that time; during the period of the Civil War, party feeling ran high. President Lincoln was a candidate to succeed himself as President, against Gen. Geo. B. McClellan, the Democratic candidate. Political rivalry was as active amongst us youngsters as it was among our elders. One of the campaign slogans was the following doggerel verse: "Lincoln is a gentleman, McClellan is a fool. Lincoln rides a white horse, McClellan rides a mule." If one was a Democrat, the principal's names were transposed: "McClellan is a gentleman, Lincoln is a fool. McClellan rides a white horse, Lincoln rides a mule." Immediately preceding the reconstruction period of our country's history, every Colored man was a Republican. Celebrated Union Victory. When Generals Grant and Lee met under an apple tree at Appomattox and signed articles of peace, the country was overwhelmed with joy and gladness. Bonfires, booming guns and illuminations proclaimed the event. Third street, our "main street," was decorated, and at night candles were burned in the store windows and in the windows of many private dwellings. A week later our beloved President was shot by John Wilkes Booth, in Ford's theatre, Washington, D. C. The people were grief-stricken, and denned the habiliments of mourning, expressive of their sorrow. Before the advent of our people in numbers, there were a few individuals that came to Minnesota, prior to the abolition of slavery, embracing such men as James K. Hilyard, Second Local Conference Held at.Y.W.C.A. The second local conference met at the Y. W. C. A. center, 588 West Central avenue, Wednesday night at 8:30. The purpose of this meeting was to formulate a permanent organization composed of the various churches, lodges and civic bodies. At the first conference, Atty. W. T. Francis submitted a resolution for the benefit of the Urban League, which was unanimously adopted. A committee was appointed by Chairman O. Howell to draft a resolution for this conference body for the purpose of affiliatory directly with Mr. T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary of the Urban League of Chicago. The report of this committee was submitted by the chairman, Mr. Fred D. McCracken, and was fully adopted. The name of the new organized association was decided as the Alliance of Colored Associations of St. Paul. It was a united decision that this association will be to the best interest of St. Paul and fully support the Urban League movement. (Continued on page 4) Wins Legal Case Camphor A. M. E.

There will be week day activities embracing hikes, outings, (Continued on page 4) Congressman Dyer Here on May 25th Man Who Introduced Anti-lynching Bill on Lecture Tour of the Western States. LECTURE WILL BE BASED ON "SHAME OF AMERICA" Local Branch of N A. A. C. P. Is Making Preparation for Big Occasion, Says Dr. Turner. Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri, who introduced the Federal anti-lynching bill bearing his name in Congress, will address a mass meeting here, under auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, on the night of May 25th, in the Pilgrim Baptist church, at 8 P. M. Corner Cedar and Summit avenue. Mr. Dyer is on a country-wide tour through the Middle and Far West, lecturing under the Advancement Association's auspices on the "Shame of America," against which a fight is to be staged in the next Congress. Backed by N. A. A. C. P. Representative Dyer's measure was passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 230 to 119 and was favorably reported by the committee on the judiciary of the Senate. It had to be abandoned when a group of Southern Democratic Senators served notice that their filibuster would be continued against the anti-lynching bill, holding up the business of the entire country, until a pledge was given by the Republicans that the issue would not be forced in that session. In connection with the meeting the following statement from Mr. Dyer was given out at the local office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. To Be National Issue. "I am going before the country on the issue of lynching, a national shame of which for thirty-five years the states have failed to end and the Federal government has failed to attack. "The anti-lynching bill, which I introduced in Congress and which was passed by a vote of almost 2 to 1 in the House of Representatives, was stopped in the Senate by the filibuster of senators from those states in which most lynchings occur. The "Federal anti-lynching bill is not sectional. It applies to every part of the country. It assumes that an atrocity in America is a national disgrace whether it occurs in Georgia or Texas or Oregon or Illinois. "I shall re-introduce this measure in the next Congress. It will be re-introduced, I believe, in the Senate. Meanwhile I shall acquaint as many American citizens as possible with the horrors of lynching in America, and with the provisions of the bill designed to end those horrors. "We shall then see if a small minority of men from any group of states can block an expression of the will of the people of this nation."

When a friend of Mr. Paul Sayer, 243 Thirteenth avenue south called to see him last Friday, he was told that the latter was upstairs in his room. On reaching the room the caller found Mr. Sayer in a corner with his brains partially blown out and a sawed-off rifle laying by the body. Mrs. Sayer had gone down town and from her story and that of other persons who were last with the victim, he was in very good humor during the day. He had frequently been cautioned by his wife to be more careful in handling fire arms, as there was great probability of accident. However, the force of the warning seemingly was not realized in time to prevent the unfortunate affair. There was no eye witness to state in what manner the occurrence happened, but according to the coroner's statement the deceased appeared to be reaching downward for the rifle, apparently not looking, and the weapon was discharged. Mr. Sayer is survived by a wife and two daughters, aged 13 and 15 years. A brother came to Minneapolis from Hill City, Kans., to take charge of the body. Funeral services were held Tuesday from the Neal Chapel, 502 Twenty-fourth street east. Rev. H. C. Parsons officiated. Along the Line By Fred D. McCracken With Our Gates. For many years in the past we have been bending every effort to get an employee in the office of the county assessor without success. However, our patience have been awarded and on Thursday last one of our bright and intelligent young women was placed as a clerk in this office. Mr. O. C. Hall was the influence back of the appointment. Our people are feeling keenly the housing shortage. Rents have gone up and few places are for rent. Mr. Fred D. McCracken, our real estate dealer, reports the sale of the five-room bungalow, 826 Rondo street, and also the five-room cottage at 567 Rondo street. Elsewhere. Mr. R. C. Archer, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., an architect, has been awarded the contract for the architectural work and general supervision for the erection of seven buildings costing $500,000 for a white religious school at Vienna, Ohio. Colored financiers of Suffok, Va., have erected a beautiful hotel of about twenty rooms. It is entirely modern in appointments.

During this time he had accumulated a vast estate. Calling his seven sons to his bedside, he took seven sticks and one after another broke them easily. Then he took seven more sticks, of the same quality, and bound them together with a cord. This bunch he passed to the youngest son and then to the others, requesting that each endeavor to break the bunch. Every attempt proved futile. The parting word to the boys was this: “If you stand apart you can be easily broken, but if you remain together you have great strength.” In every section we will find numerous bodies attempting to function in the same capacity. Each trying to out-do the other. Each jealously watching the progress of the other, ever hoping for failure to disintegrate the attempt. Each standing aloft and failing to agree on a concrete program, and then we wonder why the things we most desire are seemingly impossible to obtain. The solution to the problem lies in our being able to forget class leadership and select a generalissimo, Unite the faction into a solid body. Reason judiciously, think wisely. and act unitedly. ‘The Allied armies under their individual leaders could not stem the tide of the invaders. Not until the parts were assembled into a whole and placed under the direction of General Foch was suc- cess realized. Our greatest faults lie within ourselves. Our petty griev- ances, our selfish ambitions, our disgrunted opinions and our per- sonal dislike are made basis for our failures. Co-operation is the key that unlocks the door of progress. Strive as we may, as indi- vidual units, we cannot reach the Zenith of our ambition. "There must be coherence in the ranks. There must be mutual trust. There must be a willingness on the part of every group to became a member of the whole. Our time, our energy and our efforts are vain, in the real battle of life, if there is lacking the force of a complete oneness. Lest we forget, as separate bodies we are as so many sticks that may be broken with slight resistance. As a united body we are bound as many fibers prepared to stand the acid test of time with all its vicissitudes. Strength abides in union, and without united efforts there can be little accomplished. THE FILIBUSTER AGAIN The Dyer Anti-lynching Bill is likely to play a prominent part in the legislature when the International Court resolution comes up for passage in December. President Harding plans to have America enter the court with other nations. In order to give support to the President, the Republican Senators may. be forced to vote that the Senate amend its rule as to prevent a filibuster. The Democratic faction of the Senate are almost unanimously in favor of the International Court. They will, without doubt, be) eager to have measures adopted to prevent the long used filibuster plan for defeating such bills as desired. If such precautions are taken it will be at this point that the Dyer Bill will play its part. Though defeated by a filibuster, lead by Senator Oscar Un- derwood of Alabama, in the next Congress this Bill will receive the support of many strong organizations in the Northern States and the Negro throughout the United States. Senator Under- wood, when asked to give his reasons for his action toward the Dyer Bill, said when the Federal Government attempted to inter- fere with the internal affairs of the South he felt obliged to fili- buster. If senatorial rulings are formulated to prevent the Inter-| national Court Resolution from being defeated by filibustering, then there will be a very. difficult matter to adjust in the form of the Dyer Bill. If the anti-filibuster plan is used to force the court through, then the same plan must be used for the Dyer Bill. If no ruling is passed in the Senate to defeat the filibuster move- ment there is every possible reason to believe the Worlds Court Resolution may be defeated in the same manner the Dyer Bill was. If the ruling is adopted to pass the proposed resolution it will mean that the Dyer Bill cannot be defeated in the same manner it was before. The Republican Senators who promised their sup- Port to the Bill will be forced to vote either for or against the measure. The Southern Solons want to defeat the Dyer Bill, still they want to pass the World’s Court Resolution. The general outlook of things seem to indicate the impossibility to defeat the Dyer Bill by the filibuster without jeopardizing the Resolution in the Same manner. Thus the extending of the Federal protection to the Negro in America through the passage of the Dyer Bill may materially affect the possibilities of America entering the organ- ization that proposes to establish a lasting peace between nations. In defeating the Dyer Bill in the recent Congress the “Solid South” was elated over their tactful methods. Now the same thing threatens them in their effort to pass the International Court Resolution. It reminds us very much of the Biblical story of Haman and the scaffold he built for another that proved to be his own gallows. YE MEN OF THE RAILS + am glad to say “Men,” for that is what you are.

(Continued from page 1) Blakely Durast, Joseph Farr, Andrew Jackson and Robert Bruce, who came as early as 1856, but their stay was circumscribed by the length of the boating season, river traffic being our only connection with the outside world prior to 1863. In this year the first rails were laid that were ultimately to give free and unrestricted communication with every locality of the great Northwestern portion of our country. The first section traversed was between St. Paul and St. Anthony Falls (now Minneapolis East) a distance of ten miles. Modern Blocks Were There was a line of demarcation between these two groups. The later-comers being known as "contrabands." Those coming earlier were called "Colored people." With the earlier race people were also Joseph Taylor, who was murdered by Indians in 1862. Clement Seymour, Geo. B. Williams, father of our "Billy" "governor of the state." Edward James and Nathan Walker. These men were all made of the stern material from which pioneers are made, and because of their qualifications were far beyond the so-called cheap labor class. Nathan Walker was chef at the Merchants hotel and owned his own home where the Auditorium now stands. Mary Davis owned her home, the land now occupied by the postoffice. The Taylors, Farrs and Armstrongs owned Fifth street, between Wabasha and Cedar streets. "Old Lady" Holmes owned two lots on ground now covered by the Armory. Blakely Durant sold his two-hundred-acre farm in Mercer county, Ohio, to come to Minnesota in 1866. The Durants, the Hillyards and the Bowles families all lived on property now occupied by the "Golden Rule" and "Emporium" department stores. Vocationally, in those days, our race variety furnished the chefs for the leading hotels, owned all the barber shops, they furnished the cooks, stewards, firemen and rost-a-bouts for the boats, engaged in the passenger and freight carrying of the river traffic. Race Men Owned Businesses. Wesley Jones, strong man, was porter in a wholesale grocery house, corner of Third and Jackson streets. Andrew Jackson, uncle of Mrs. Detective Black, was a butcher, and retailed meats for Henry Lamb, where the general offices of the Great Northern now stands. Louis Liverpool was a veterinary, employed by Dr. Jones on Fourth street. John Hickman was a clerk in L. B. Wait's seed store and John Black was clerk for Hines & Lanpher, hatters on Third street. Ben. McKamey was employed in a commission house. "Jeff" Rayford delivered furniture for DeCoster & Clark. Willis Gray, the old bill poster, was a predecessor of the great Scott Advertising Co. Truly these were the halcyon days of the "Open Shop." No labor unions. All the employer desired was a man on whom he could rely. As previously stated, colored barbers occupied the field. R. J. Stockton owned two shops, "Merchants hotel, down-town shop," and the "Metropolitan hotel, uptown shop." These were the leading hostelries. J. Henry, the hair-cutter, owned the American-House-Shop. Maurice Jernigan owned the International hotel, Seventh and Jackson streets shop. Jackson and Farr, Bridge Square shop. Thomas H. Lyles amassed a fortune from his court house shop, in the late seventies. Failure Caused by Imigration. The great influx of people from Northern Europe, many of whom came to Minnesota, gradually changed sentimental conditions surrounding labor of every form. It took from the colored men their monopoly of the barber trade, many small shops were opened as the town grew to a city of metropolitan proportion. The resultant, competition nearly drove colored artisans from the field, and incidently lost to the race that kindly interest of business, and professional men with whom the leading barbers were constantly in contact. Reflecting upon the events of that period, it was wonderful how rapid the change from the condition of mere chattel to that of freemen was accomplished. The seeming ambition of every man to become owner of his own home was encouraged, and in the downtown section there was an addition to the city proper, known as Borup Addition, in which a good number bought lots and erected homes. It was located on what is now Sibley street, near Norris. Rachel McWilliams, Ed. Buck, Ann Slate, Anderson Peters, Fielding Combs, Pilgrim Church, David Talbert, Abby Jackson, Andy Hoover and Edward James owned homes in this section. John Trotter located in the west end, on Sherburne avenue.

It will be advisable not to call any body "Funny Face" as that remark brought Simmons and Carr as close together as the Stamese Twins for a hot minute a few nights ago. This popular poetry is heard every day in the Twin City Cafes: O Beefsteak there upon my plate For thee I sigh, on thee I saw Why is it thy fibres will not part That I may fill my empty maw This world a paradise would be If friends would hold as firm as thee.
