A drive to secure $20,000 for mission work is being inaugurated by Mrs. Watson and her purpose in this country is to secure this amount. At both churches she appeared in the costumary garb of the natives and presented many articles made by them. Every detail of African life was covered by Mrs. Watson in her Twin City addresses, and she brought many articles made by the natives. Following the completion of her American tour these trophies will be given to the organization and churches who aided in securing the necessary amount. The aptness of the native was cited by Mrs. Watson, in their desire to learn of the ways of civilization.

COMPANY 9 REACHES QUOTA OF 200 CALLS Engine Co. 9, situated at Edmund and Marion streets, went over the top on the 31st of October when they completed their quota of calls ahead of schedule. Since the 18th of January this company has responded to two hundred fire calls, which is an unusual record for this company. Captain Godette is in charge of Company 9, which has always received the highest praise for efficiency, neatness and the excellent condition of their equipment. Young Dentist Escapes Hurt Wehn Cars Smash Car Demolished Completely; As Other Driver Escapes Without Recognition Dr. Earl S. Weber, Dental Surgeon with offices at 204 Dakota Bldg., was the victim of an automobile accident Friday afternoon on the Riverside drive. He was driving along on the open road when suddenly another car loomed straight in his path from a turn in the road. In dodging the other car on account of wet roads he skidded into a large tree. Because of the' condition of the car, which is a complete wreck, it is thought that he must have been hit by the other car also. However this cannot be proved, as Dr. Weber was rendered unconscious immediately after the crash and was so till nearly nine o'clock. Taken Home The Ford people brought him home and said he had been in the hospital, but Dr. Weber said he had not been, altho a doctor had attended him some where. His injuries were none of them serious and he was back to the office as usual on Tuesday. Dr. Weber is one of the younger and popular professional men of the city and his many friends are congratulating him for escaping without more serious injury. 3 OUT OF 4 CHILDREN SUFFER FROM RICKETS About 75 per cent of the children of the United States have rickets during the first two years of their life, according to Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the Federal Children's Bureau, who was one of the speakers at the Annual Conference of the National Urban League last week at Kansas City, Mo. It is no discredit, but rather a great pity that the proportion of colored children suffering from this affliction is much higher than that of white children. Of course, these are not all extreme cases, with enlarged heads and bow legs, but most of them are serious enough to cause flat feet, chest deformities, etc. Rickets can be prevented. The causes have been found by medical science to be lack of sunlight and improper diet. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1923. BULLETIN WILL CONTINUE WORK AS ONE JOURNAL Proposed Merger Ineffective as Mutual Agreement Is Not Secured. BULLETIN TO REMAIN IN PRESENT LOCATION Own Job Plant Will Be Secured to Handle Business From All Printing Angles. Last week we announced the opening of negotiations whereby the Northwestern Bulletin and Appeal might enter a merger and publish the paper under the heading of the Bulletin and Appeal. It was thought that a merger of the two interests would prove advantageous. Owing to the fact that we were unable to secure a satisfactory agreement for all concerned we wish to inform our subscribers, advertisers and friends that the Northwestern Bulletin is in the field to stay and will be edited under the same circumstances as before. Our intention is to continue giving the best service possible and give the live news, living up to the slogan, "If its news, you will find it in the Bulletin." Plan Own Shop Prior to the negotiations spoken of last week, we planned on securing a shop for our own use. In order to adequately meet with the many calls for job printing we will in the near future be in position to render this service in our own shop. Our press and shop will envolve approximately $5,000.00 which will take care of our business for the time being. The success of the Bulletin is because of the support received from the public for which we are more than grateful. Superior service was directly responsible for this support and our subscribers, advertisers and friends may rest assured that the high standard of efficiency, characteristic of the Bulletin shall remain. Gov. Wires Equal Rights League Boston, Mass.—A protest telegram sent by the National Equal Rights League, Rev. T. S. Moppins, president, on Wednesday, against the driving out of colored people from Stowe Township, Penn., because a colored man killed a white man, brought an answer today from Governor Gifford Pinchot himself to the league, promising action.

Your telegram of October 10th concerning alleged driving colored citizens from Stowe Township, Allegheny County, received. I have no information of such action; am starting immediate inquiry and if such condition exists and local officials fail to protect innocent citizens of any race, conditions or religion, I will use full necessary force of State to prevent discrimination. (Signed) Gifford Pinchot. The Board of Directors of the Urban League met on Monday at the St. Paul Association; Mr. George McLeon, presided. Among the regular appointees of the Post-Office this past month were Messrs. Lawrence McCoy, 537 West Central avenue and Alonzo Cotton, 670 Carroll avenue. Mrs. R. F.

GOPHER GUN CLUB IN PROTECTIVE ACT FOR HUNTERS Recent Organization Strives to Secure Co-operation of New Membership. TO TAKE FIGHT NEXT LEGISLATIVE MEETING Purpose to Secure Better Hunting and Fishing Grounds for the 95% Class. The conditions for campers, fisherman and hunters of Minnesota are getting more and more aggravated each year. In fact it is getting so the average person, meaning the 95 per cent class, have no place where they can camp when out on an auto trip. The so called tourist camps being more or less of a joke as a rule. (a.) This same argument applies to fishing and hunting as well. It is getting to the point where the average person must either put up an unreasonable amount for accommodations or else forego the pleasures of camping, fishing and hunting. (b.) At the present time about all the average hunter gets for his license money is the privilege of hunting for a place where he can hunt. (c.) Is this fair? Why should the State provide places where the average man can camp, fish and hunt at a reasonable price, the same as other states here provided, namely Pennsylvania, Ohio, Louisiana, etc. (d.) The one answer to all this is organization of the 95 per cent class of campers, fishermen and hunters. In organization there is strength and this strength properly applied at the next session of our State Legislature will get the desired results. (e.) Remember, what is worth having, is worth fighting for. So lets organize and go after what we are entitled to, at the next session of our State Legislature. (f.) Join our Association, The Gopher Club, which stands for a square deal for the average man who camps, fishes and hunts. (g.) We need your help, you need ours. Our dues are only one dollar per year. Won't you help us and help yourself? (h.) Remember you may miss the dollar now, but you will miss the game and fishes when they are gone a whole lot more and you will also miss the privileges of a Public camping, fishing and hunting place, which you are entitled to. (i.) Lets all get together and work through our next State Legislature for Public Recreational Grounds, which will provide Public camping, fishing and hunting grounds. The officers of our association are Pres., Grant Bush, 622 Rondo street; Vice Pres., S. B. Douglas, 647 W. Central avenue; Sec., John Felandios, 277 St. Anthony avenue; Treas., Jack Black, 665 W. Central avenue. Our regular meeting nights are first and third Tuesdays of each month at 622 Rondo street. COAST TOURIST MEET ACCIDENT ON AUTO TOUR A telegram was received this week by Captain Godette of Engine Co. 9 from Mr. W. E. Mitchell former engineer of the same company who with his wife was motoring to California met with a serious accident about one hundred thirty miles from Holbrook, Arizona. The car in some manner caught fire and was wrecked. In jumping Mrs. Mitchell was injured; only meager information was given in the telegram so the extent of her injuries is unknown. How the car caught fire is also a mystery as Mr. Mitchell did not mention the cause of the accident. Their many friends in St. Paul are anxiously awaiting word and hope that Mrs. Mitchell's injuries are only of a slight nature. Fired Nurses to Be Transferred Washington, D. C.—Evelyn D. Robinson, Della Woode, and Zelda H. Peck, the three nurses of the Veterans' Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., summarily suspended by Col. Stanley, since transferred from the hospital to New Mexico, have been vindicated. Investigation by the Veterans' Bureau disclosed that Col. Stanley had no just cause for the suspension, and therefore these nureses have been ordered by the Government to return to Tuskegee. Friends of the nurses, who have been interested in having the cases adjusted fairly, are now urging the government to pay the back salaries of the nurses for the time of suspension, and for the extra expense they have been placed to by returning to their homes. Col. Stanley's suspension order came on the day the salary checks arrived, and the nurses were given only twenty-four hours to leave the government reservation. In addition to the time lost in suspension, there are at least four days' salary due for actual service rendered. The suspension of these nurses was the climax of the bitter opposition of a few white politicians of the section and the Ku Klux, to intimidate. Manequins Are Banqueted By Mrs. Edith Moore Askins and Marine Firm Is Honorary Guest at Sunday Night's Entertainment. Mrs. Edith Moore entertained at a banquet Sunday evening complimentary to the Kingston Girls, at Kistler Hall, Minneapolis, who took part in the Style Show at the South Side Auditorium October 15. Over fifty guests were present; the honorary guest being Clara Vinn, Amelia Harvey, Emily Josephs, Anna Simpson and W. R. McKinnon of the firm of Askin and Marine, Clothiers. All garments displayed in the Style Show were furnished through the courtsey of Askin and Marine. Mr. McKinnon, manager of the contributing store, gave brief remarks on behalf of the Askin and Marine company as to their appreciation of their race patronage, also concerning the extensive stock of seasonable styles. All models were present and many invited guests. Evening Enjoyed Following the dinner dancing was in order to the strains of Moore's Town Talk Band. Those not desirous of dancing were given the option of playing whist. The success of the several Style Shows given in the Mill City has been largely due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Moore and the assistance given by the Askin and Marine Company in supplying the necessary wardrobe. So unique have the displays been, especially the last one, that several of the larger stores are not asking for the privilege of displaying their garments at the next revue. The guests of the banquet were well entertained and all voted Mrs. Moore a splendid hostess. The Adelphia Club held its regular meeting on Tuesday with Mrs. W. H. McCoy, Sr., 478 West Central avenue. After the routine of business was transacted an interesting talk on "Y" work was given by the new secretary Miss Amy Hall. A dainty repast was served by the hostess. Mrs. Naomi Harper-Jordan, who is doing community work under the auspices of the Woman's Home Missionary Society, St. Paul District, M. E. Church, spoke on Camphor Church and its Community Problems at the Annual District meeting held in Hammeline M. E. Church, October 24-25. HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRICE: FIVE CENTS ARGE WEEKS DENIES HE ACTED IN SPITE ON RECOMMEND Secretary of War Denies That He Indorsed Slemp Out of Spite for Defeat. BRANDS STORY OF PRESS 'WITHOUT FOUNDATION' Cites Friendship for Race Instead of Prejudice as Said by Army Lieutenant. Boston, Mass., Nov. 3.—In a personal letter to William Monroe Trotter of this city, John W. Weeks, secretary of war and former senator from this state, refutes the allegation that he acted out of revenge when he recommended the appointment of C. Bascom Slemp of Virginia, a nationally known "illy white," as secretary to President Coolidge. Mr. Weeks' letter came after publication in the Chicago Defender of an article accusing him of giving the President "bad advice" because of his defeat at the hands of voters of our race when he sought reelection to the United States senate. In refutation to this accusation, Mr. Weeks says as follows: Outlines Position. "The article which you attach to your letter of recent date has not even the semblance of truth as a foundation. I have no prejudice against your race, as I have demonstrated many times. I do not charge against them the fact that I was defeated for re-election to the United States senate because I never had responsibility as renger, in the ad-support me. Even if that had been the case, I would have a good deal of contempt for myself if I thought it would affect my actions as secretary of war. "The general statements made in other parts of the article are without any support. I particularly deny the one relating to Lieutenant Flipper, who, I understand, has been doing very good work in the government service. However, no officer guilty of the conduct which caused his dismissal from the service has ever been restored or favorable ac- (Continued on page 4) POPULAR YOUNG LADY CONTEST AT EXPOSITION The executive committee of the St. Paul Negro Business league held their booster meeting Tuesday evening to complete plans for the second annual exhibition, to be held at the Auditorium December 10-11. Dr. John R. French, chairman of the committee on promotion, announced that the program of the committee was rapidly rounding into form. Many have already applied for booths and others who have not as yet made application are urged to do so as soon as possible. Every member of the league is working hard to make the exposition a huge success. Many new members have been added to the honorary list, which was begun last week. The honorary membership carries with it all the privileges of the two nights of the exposition. The popularity contest is creating a great deal of interest among the young ladies. Three prizes are offered: First prize is a $100 diamond ring, second prize a set of genuine La Tausca pearls with diamond set clasp, third prize a white gold wrist watch. These prizes will be vied for by many of the Twin Cities fairest. The Mill City ladies are determined to carry some of the honors back home with them. The growing popularity of the exhibition is causing a great demand for space. For booth at the Auditorium see either Dr. J. R. French or Mr. Mose Johnson. ```markdown ``` 2 age 2 Published Weekly by the Bulletin Publishing Co. 408 Court Block St. Paul, Minnesots Phone: Garfield 8480 BSS EES ath are ts JS SS MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE: 902 Sixth Ave. No—Phone Cherry 8783 OWEN HOWELL —________-.._-__-_-----—-—._ Publisher AIMEE HALL WW ..-___.._.._-___..—- Managing Baltor S.

Member of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS “First in Service” SELF SACRIFICE Nothing is ever accomplished that is worthwhile without some one being a martyr to the project. History is filled with instances where people suffered and died for the cause they believed to be just. The ability to foresee the changing conditions as respects the honor of a people, the realization that some must bear the bur- den for the good of many yet unborn and the willingness to make the necessary sacrifice, though temporarily injurious, has been the making of the greatest nations. There is need of a greater desire to serve and help all fellow men. Possibly the things lead- ing up to this assistance may prove personally costly to some, but the good to be accomplished will more than offset the price con- tributed. We too frequently let such things as a position prevent our doing something for the race advancement. Lest we be de- prived of the necessities of existance, we would sacrifice dignity as aman and honor as a race. True, we must work to secure sub- sistance of life, health and comfort, but when these are secured by loosing self-respect they become valueless. The belief that the loss of a certain position means the total loss of comforts is largely responsible for the predicament we sometimes encounter. Many would sacrifice every honor sooner than speak in defense of the race when insults are brought to bear. Rather than sacrifice what they expect to earn a livelihood from, for the good of the race. It is to be expected that some positions are to be lost when reprisal is begun by the offending places. To prove their authori- ty, race people are discharged for the only reason that their people resented the prejudice existing in the departments. This may seem a sacrifice to those affected, yet the moral victory gain for the race is obvious. When racial freedom is at stake so small a thing as a position is to be forgotten. We are thoroughly conscious of the fact that all must work for a living and usually for the other group, but there must be some willing to make a temporary sacri- fice in order that the best interest might be served. Such has been the circumstances for ages. All nations or people have had to suffer individually so that the masses might not have to suffer the consequence of being forced to accept the lesser things. All organizations must co-operate for the purpose of securing respect for the race. Every individual fight for justice must be a race fight. Those who suffer for their stand should remember that all just causes have their martyrs. Some must suffer in order that those coming after them may have a peaceful and happy place in which to live. THE AMENDMENT PREFERENCE : responsibility for law enforcement vest the recognition, by all citizens, of the it iments to the Constitution, be a persot s the case, if the opinion of Governor Pin owever, the acid test is being applied to in that he is accused of being lax in the SEE ENE eS Ls Sie ae’ ee Does the responsibility for law enforcement vest in the Chief Executive or the recognition, by all citizens, of the intrinsic value of the amendments to the Constitution, be a personal charge to him? Such is the case, if the opinion of Governor Pinchot is taken as a fact. However, the acid test is being applied to the power of the President in that le is accused of being lax in the enforcement of one amendment known as the eighteenth. Whether or not the accusation of Governor Pinchot is prompted by an ambition to gain political prestige is somewhat difficult to say, yet it is gener- ally known that the Pennsylvania Governor will not reject the nomination for presidency, next year, should it fall his lot to be chosen. The usual situation is that two amendments have never been enforced since they were made, yet a big noise is being made over the non-enforcement of one other. If Governor Pinchot is desirous of securing respect for the Constitution, because it is the key to American rights, why was one particular clause chosen out for preference over other ones that have never been enforced. If the President is responsible for the laxity of enforcement of the eight- eenth amendment, then who is to be charged with failure to recog- nize the fourteenth and fifteenth? So-called “State’s Rights” have prevented the national gov- ernment from interferring with the inner affair of the states, ac- cording to the answer usually given. This has been the alibi for years. Now comes Governor Pinchot with the opinion that the President should enforce the eighteenth amendment, but he re- mains silent on enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth. Just as important as the prohibition issue is the accordance of equal suffrage to the Negro. This is guaranteed by the government, but not enforced by the states. The inconsistency of the matter is obvious in that the importance of enforcement for the eighteenth amendment is cited while no thought is given to those clauses affecting the race, known as the fourteenth and fifteenth. It is very difficulf for any one man, whether he be the nation’s Chief or a local magistrate, to secure at all times the enforcement of mandates. If the President is responsible for the lack of en- forcement of the Volstead law, his predecessors are equally liable for the failure of recognition of the amendments giving free and undisturbed citizenship to the Negro in America. ‘The glow of the political limelight frequently discovers many things that should be done, but strange it can be turned on certain phases at the will of those in charge. We believe that respect should be given to the eighteenth amendment, but of equal importance is the fourteenth and fif- teenth. If one can be used as the means of exposing the laxity of the governing forces the other two should be brought into play also. Officials Use Color Line at Border; Charged “sei New York—The National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Colored People again has recelved word of racial discrimination by the Mexican officials at Piedras Negras, just across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas, and has reported the facts to Charles E. Hughes, U. 8. Secretary of State in Washington. . Additional reports have come to the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People that the Mexican Government is still prevent- ing the entrance of United States Citizens at Piedras Negras and that discrimination is being practiced ‘against persons of color, “The complainant is William Vann, who asserts that in 1909 he carried ‘a colony of 65 families into the Re- public of Mexico and settled them on a grant of 27,114 acres of land in the State of Durango, Mexico, leased to his company, The Durango Land Company, for 99 years from July 12, 1909. In 1913 the colony left their homes in Mexico and returned to the United States upon the order of the President of the United States that all American citizens were to leave Mexico. They listed their property with the American consul at that time. Mr. Vann asserts that he has been in Eagle Pass, Texas, since September 1 of this year and has not been per- mitted to enter the Republic of Mex- {co to look after his property. A further letter from Mrs. J. A. Williams of Eagle Pass, Texas, as- serts that white American citizéns are permitted to enter the Republic of Mexico at Piedras Negras but that this privilege is refused to colored citizens of the United States. Mrs. Williams further states: ‘Mr. Louls Whitehead has been as far in as 65 miles from the border without a pass- port or any one to vouch for him or any questions asked but he looks like a white man.’ Print Petitions To Liberate 24th Infantrymen New York—It was announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at 69 Fifth avenue, New York City, that the National OMce will arrange for ‘the petitions to be used i pathertnk ‘signatures asking the release of the oe men of the 24th Infantry confined in Leavenworth Prison for ‘the use of individuals and those or- ganizations which desire the petitions eats in small quantities. ‘This the National Office has arranged to do for reasons of economy. Therefore, those organizations which desire only Mmited quantities of the petitions may secure them at the rate of one cent a sheet, approximately one-half the cost of printing and mailing, by sending an order and the amount necessary to cover the same to the N. Av A. C. P, These orders will be turned over to the printers at New York and filled as promptly as pos- sible. Larger organizations are following the original plan and having their petitions printed locally, but the N. A. A. ©. P. feels that the above out- lined plan will be a convenience to smaller organization’ and to individ- uals. Churches, Lodges, Join The N. A. A. C. P. reported today there has never been any cause which hhas been entered into with such whole hearted enthusiasm as the campaign to free these men. The Methodist Episcopal Church through Bishop R. B. Jones is distributing _ petitions among its churches; the Knights of Pythias of North America, ete., through Supreme Chancellor 8. W. Green is circulating through its Grand Chancellors more than five ‘thousand petitions (each petition having space of 60 signatures); the Citizens Club of Berkley, Norfolk, ‘Va., has unanimously passed a resolu- tion pledging complete cooperation in this effort and, during the special meeting which it will hold on Nov- ember 11th, the audience will stand for five minutes in silent prayer for the release of the men. According to all present indications many more than the original goal of 100,000 signatures to the petition will be se- cured. NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN New YorkGives | Last Respects | To Clubwoman| impressive surroundings. Many ‘per- sons of note were present. Mrs, Tal- bert, who formerly was president of the National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs, was possibly the best known Negro woman in America. The outstanding achievement of Mrs. Talbert’s life was the reclama- tion of the home of Frederick Doug- lass at Cedar Hills, Anacostio, D. C., as a historic race shrine. For this ‘splendid work she was awarded the Spingarn Medal in 1922. In 1920 she went to Scotland as a delegate to the International Couneil of Wo- men’s Clubs. Mrs. Talbert was porn in Ober- lin, Ohio, September 17, 1865, daughter of Cornelius J. and Caro- line Burnett. She was graduated from Oberlin College in 1891 and later married William H. Talbert, of Buffalo, where she has since lived One child, Sarah, who now is Mrs. Kellar, was born to them. The N. A, A.C. P. delegated Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, Field Secretary of the’ Association to be present at the funeral in Buffalo, N. Y., last Wed- nesday. Mary White Ovington, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the N. A. A. ©. P., paid the fol- lowing tribute to Mrs. Talbert: “Here at the office of the Nation- al Association for the Advancement of Colored People, we have tearned with deepest sorrow of the sudden death of Mrs, Mary'B. Talbert. With deepest sorrow and surprise, for while we were aware that she was seriously ill, it did not seem possible that so virile a personality. could leave us. When, as a member of our board, she attended our meetings, or came to visit the national office, whether called to a meeting or not, she always seemed overflowing with health and strength and determina- tion, Whatever task was given her she accepted and carried to a vietor- ious finish. Only her own life she was unable to save. She literally gave it to the cause of humanity, and especially to the eolored people suf- fering from danger and persecution. “This association recalls with deep- est gratitude the work of Mary B. Talbert in Texas, where she organ- ized the state in our service, among the many groups in the National As- sociation of Colored Women, which she interested in our cause, and last- ly, in the recent magnificent work which she headed of the Anti-Lynch- ing Crusaders. “Her generous, loving heart was filled with indignation and horror at the lynching atrocities of the south- ern states, and she labored unceas- ingly to put an end to such atrocities. We Know that there are thousands and tens of thousands of the poor and unprotected of her race who would voice, if they could, their ap- preciatfon of the battle which she fought in their service. She was a great leader.

WHAT TO EAT Tuna fish is one of the most delicately flavored of fish and may be used in various dishes and enjoyed by those who are not fond of fish. I Ocean Chicken Pie. Take a large can of tuna and mix with it, after flaking, the following sauce: Two tablespoonfuls of bubbling hot melted butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour, and when well blended add one cupful of milk, one teaspoonful of salt, pepper and paprika to taste. Boll together two diced carrots, one medium-sized onion chopped, two small potatoes diced and one cupful of peas. Line a baking dish with plain pastry, fill with the vegetables in layers with the fish mixed with the white sauce. Cover with an upper crust with opening for the steam to escape and bake in a hot oven until the crust is brown. Granberry and Raisin Pie—Cut one and one-half cupfuls of cranberries in halves, let the water run over them in a colander to wash out as many seeds as possible, add one cupful of prunes cooked, pitted and cut into bits, three-fourths of a cupful of sugar, and one tablespoonful of flour. Turn into a pastry-lined pie plate, dot with bits of butter, cover with strips of pastry lattice-fashion and bake for twenty minutes in a hot oven. Raisin Pie de Luxe—Line a medium-sized pie plate with pastry.

Canst tell how an oyster makes his shell? No! nor I either." SOME GOOD WAYS WITH MEATS Squabs are always delightful eating, broiled or served in casserole. Pigeon Pigeon Pie Clean and split four pigeons and stimmer until tender, seasoning when nearly done with a teaspoon ful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of celery salt and one-fourth teaspoonful of paprika. Remove the larger bones and arrange in a buttered baking dish, together with the livers, hearts and two hard-cooked eggs quartered lengthwise, and two dozen fresh mushrooms or dried ones soaked in warm water for an hour. Use the broth and the liquid in which the mushrooms were soaked; reduce by cooking until a pint of liquid is obtained. Thicken with butter and flour cooked together, using a tablespoonful of each for each cupful of liquid, adding seasoning if needed. Pour this over the birds and cover with a half-inch biscuit crust. Cut across in the center and turn back the corners. Bake one-half hour in a hot oven, brush over the crust with beaten egg and bake fifteen minutes longer. Stewed Ducks With Turnips—Out the duck into pieces at the joints. Put a tablespoonful of butter into a saucepan, add two onions chopped fine. When a golden brown add a square inch of ham, minced fine. Then add six turnips sliced, a tablespoonful of flour; stir until brown, then add three sprigs each of thyme and parsley, one bayleaf and a clove or garlic finely minced. Stir often and smother well covered fifteen minutes. Add water to cover the ducks well, cover tightly and cook for another half hour. Stewed Beef Heart and Prunes. Pour boiling water over the beef heart and let stand ten minutes. Trim off the fat and arteries and cut into pieces for stewing. Dredge with flour, brown in a little fat and place in a kettle with enough hot water to cover. Add one cupful of soaked stewed prunes which have been pitted, season with salt and pepper and stew slowly until tender. Use care that it does not burn. This dish will serve eight generously.

Nellie Maxwell PARIS PRESS IN ONE BIG UNION ABOUT RACE TILT Journals of France Rebuke American Tourists For Boisterous Conduct (Lincoln Service) Paris, France, Oct 26.—As a result of various interracial clashes occurring between tourists from the Southern portion of the United States and our people, which called for drastic action on the part of the French foreign office, general discussion of race prejudice is occupying the editorial expression in the leading French journals. The tone of sentiment thus editorially expressed, extracts of some of these given herewith, is unanimous in condemning the effrontery of the Southerners, especially in their attempts to make French customs conform to their prejudices. The editors seem to agree that the admonition to the Southerners should be: "We have no race prejudice here, so leave yours at home." What Editors Say Le People: "Such manners are inadmissible in France. Foreigners should know that the black citizens have the same rights as white persons, even if the latter are rich, gay Americans." The Petit Journal: "We advise the pacifists from across the Atlantic to imbibe moderately and save their fists for better causes." Figaro: "The attitude of the Southern Yankees toward Frenchmen of Color shows us how much barbarism there is hidden under the apparent civilization of the United States. Some of the Americans from the Southern section imagine themselves refined because they have six-story buildings and telephones in their bedrooms." Homme Libre: "There is often more distinction in a black man than in a white snob, even though the fingers of the latter are covered with diamonds and his pocketbook is filled with bank notes." The Journal: "Just because Montmartre at 2 o'clock in the morning is almost entirely American is no reason why Frenchmen, who belong to the Race of Uncle Tom, should be excluded. As long as Montmartre belongs to France the race question cannot be considered a la Americaine." Leave Prejudice Home L'Eclair: "The black men are our compatriots and whoever offends them offend us. Some classes of Americans don't like Negroes. That is their right at home, but not in France." The Paris Midi: "We have no prejudice here. France cannot forget that she is at the head of a vast colonial empire, dominated by men of color, and these men have proved their fidelity and courage in the most difficult hours of our existence. The group of offending Americans, who do not seem to reflect the real attitude of the best Americans, fatter themselves on being in the front rank of civilization, but they have vowed hatred without mercy against the Negroes. This will not do in France." Santo Domingo, D. R., Nov. 3.—President Burgos on Columbus Day issued a decree appointing the Junta Columbia to receive subscriptions for the erection in Santo Domingo of an imposing Pan-American memorial to Christopher Columbus.

This Will Be the Greatest Event of the Season KEEP THE DATE IN MIND Throw Away The Hammer Throw Away The Hammer When a colored man wants a shave there are only two ways in which he can get it. One is to shave himself, the other way is to go to a torsional parlor and have it done—and he doesn't go to a white torsional parlor, either. If one barber displeases him by shaving him with a dull razor he goes to another artist. If this second barber displeases him, he goes to another, and so on and on, until he finds one that is more careful. But one fact remains unchanged, however long he may search; however far he may go. When he finally succeeds in finding a barber that wields a razor to his satisfaction, he also finds that he is a colored man. Whether this is because the white shops are closed to him or because he likes to spend his money in colored shops, you may decide. But, if this same man goes into a grocery store, market, drug store or a bootblack parlor that is run by Negroes and for some reason becomes displeased, he will go upon a hilltop and devote the rest of his life telling his friends of the race's shortcomings. Because one grocer cheated him out of an ounce of flour, he places all other grocers in the same category; because one butcher sold him sheep's liver for calves' liver, he vows that he will never patronize another colored butcher; because one drug-gist charged him eleven cents for a ten cent article, he is convinced that because he found a small piece of rope in a cigar purchased in a colored cigar store, he is afraid to try another for fear of getting a cigar made of tree-bark; because one colored bootblack mistook his sock for his shoe, he swears that henceforth he will have his shoes shined at the Greek's. Why Condemn all our enterprises because of the shortcomings of one? Like individuals, they are not all the same. Some one of them can satisfy you. Apply the same principle you applied when you were displeased with your barber. If one doesn't suit you, go to another. Come down from the hilltop. Throw the hammer away. Give your own enterprises the same chance you allow to others. Hasten the time when we shall take our place among the commercial races of the world.

Uptown Sanitary System 339 Wabahsa Street Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale MARY GRAHAM BONNER MAHALIA'S COW "I belong to Mahalia," said the cow, "and I can tell you I'm mighty fond of her. "She's just the dearest little girl in the whole world. Her voice is so sweet and her manners are so sweet and she is kind and gentle. "She laughs, too, and she knows how to have a good time. She is a great one for a joke and everyone around her always feels merry and gay. "Why, even though I am only a cow I feel better the minute Mahalia comes around me." "Don't you belong to the farmer?" asked the neighbor cow. These two cows were talking to each other. One was in a pasture on one side of the fence and one was in a pasture on the other side of the fence. For these cows did not belong to the same farm. They were chatting across the fence in a most neighborly fashion. "I am owned in a way by the farmer, of course," said the first cow. "But my real owner is little Mahalla. Her Daddy said she could call me her cow. "For I have always been her favorite cow and she says I will always be her favorite cow. "She can milk me, too. Oh yes, and she says that the milk and the cream and the butter I give are the best in the world. "But I must tell you of the little girl who came to see Mahalla. The little girl's name was Nelly. "Nelly was being shown over the farm by Mahalla. "And now,' said Mahalia, 'I am going to show you the most wonderful animal on the whole farm, and she is my animal, too. She is my dear Bosay Cow.' "Then Mahalia pointed to me and she said: 'She is my pet. She knows me when I call her. She will follow me and you know a pet cow isn't usual. 'She is most certainly not usual. She is too wonderful to be usual.' "I was just as proud as could be when I heard this and then what do you suppose that Nelly said?" "I can't imagine," said Neighbor Cow. "I'm sure I can't possibly imagine. Moo, moo, moo, do tell me." "Nelly said," continued Mahalia's "Why, there's nothing pretty about a cow. You can't take a cow in your "The Most Wonderful Animal." lap. And a cow isn't cute. I wouldn't want an old cow for a pet." "Well, you should have heard Mahalia. I didn't know what she would be able to say, for I knew she would want to stand up for me and yet the words that Nelly had said were true though I didn't like them at all. "Mahalia spoke up quickly and said: "I wouldn't have a kitten in exchange for my cow. I wouldn't have any pet in exchange for my cow. "Why, a kitten drinks milk all right, but a cow gives milk. "Just think of the number of lives a cow saves every year. Yes, a cow gives milk so that babies and children and grown-ups, too, may be strong and live long. "That's what my Bossy does, too. I can't take her in my lap but I can put my head close to hers and I can pet her just as well standing up. "I don't care for a "cute" pet. I want a pet just like my cow, a pet who thinks of others and a pet who is good and gentle and sweet." "Well, Nelly had nothing to say to that, but when Mahalia came to me and kissed me and I smiled at Mahalia in my cow way out of my big eyes and gave Mahalia a kiss, Nelly said: "Well, your cow is nice, though she's a funny old thing for a pet." "And Mahalia said: "She may be a funny old thing for a pet to you but to me she's my own dear Bossy Cow." "And I can tell you, Neighbor, that made me happy. Sometimes I used to think I was a big clumsy, stupid sort of a creature but since Mahalia spoke as she did I know that I, too, am of some account in this life. "It has certainly put new life, as they say, into me, and given me heart to go on with my work. "And oh, above all, it has made me a happy, happy cow, for Mahalia—the sweet Mahalia—loves me!"

Arrange halves of canned pears with a cube of tart jelly in the cavity of each, placed round side up in pairs on a nest of lettuce for each serving. Cream the brick of cream cheese, adding enough cream to soften so that it may be spread like frosting over the pears; dip the knife in boiling water occasionally to make the process simpler. Serve with a spoonful of stiff mayonnaise on the side of the salad plate. Orange and Pecan Salad.—Remove the skin from a banana cut into quarters lengthwise and again crosswise, then roll in pecan meats finely chopped. Peel two oranges and remove the center core. Insert a cube of banana in each slice. Serve each with two slices on lettuce. Pass French dressing. This will serve four portions. Shrimp Salad.—Drain a can of shrimps, rinse with cold water and remove the dark centers. Break in good-sized pieces and marinate with French dressing. Chill for two hours, add one small bottle of stuffed olives and twelve thy sweet pickles sliced, then add two tablespoonfuls of pearl onions. Hollow out six green peppers by removing the seeds and fiber and fill with this mixture. Serve garnished with watercress and mayonnaise which has been enriched by the addition of a small portion of sour cream whipped. Curried Celery.—Prepare the celery as above, cooking it until tender; drain and add to the following mixture, using two cupfuls of celery, either in curls or in dice. Cook one tablespoonful of chopped onion in one tablespoonful of butter until slightly colored; add two tablespoonfuls of flour and, when browned, add a teaspoonful of curry powder. When well blended, add one cupful of good flavored stock and boll up; add a tablespoonful of lemon juice and serve at once in a border of hot boiled rice.

PICKLING TIME A delicious pickle that is well liked by those who are fond of olive oil is: Oil Pickles Take one hundred small cucumbers, finger-length in size, three medium-sized onions, two quarts of vinegar, two-thirds of a Take one hundred small cucumbers, finger-length in size, three medium-sized onions, two quarts of vinegar, two-thirds of a cupful of mustard seed, one table-spoonful of celery seed, one table-spoonful of freshly ground pepper, one cupful of olive oil. Slice the well-washed cucumbers without peeling, add the sliced onions—a small onion will make a better looking pickle—one may use a dozen or more; sprinkle with salt and set aside to stand over night. In the morning rinse off the salt and drain the cucumbers and onions. Place in a jar, add the seasonings, oil and vinegar, mix well, let stand for a day or two, then put into jars and seal. Keep in a cool place. Cucumber Cataup.—Peel and grate ripe cucumbers, squeezing out as much of the juice as possible. To a pint of the unsqueezed pulp use a cupful of good strong vinegar, a grated onion, one red pepper finely chopped and salt to make palatable. If the pepper is not hot add a half-teaspoonful of cayenne pepper. Bottle and seal. This is delicious with fish in the winter when such foods are high in price. Wild Grapes With Orange Rind.—Put the peeling of two oranges through the meat chopper, add three times as much water as ground peel, let stand over night. Simmer for two hours the next day and let stand again over night. Simmer one quart of wild grapes, adding all the green ones. Put through a fruit press to remove seeds. Combine the pulp with the orange rind and to every three cupfuls of the mixture add two and one-half cupfuls of sugar; simmer until it jellies, then pour into glasses. Mustard Pickles.—To a gallon of vinegar add one-half cupful of mustard and one cupful of salt, two cupfuls of brown sugar. Mix cold and drop in the well-washed cucumbers as they are gathered; cover with horseradish leaves. SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN DULUTH NEWS Madame Eva B. Walker of Minneapolis, the best known dramatic reader of the Northwest, appeared before an appreciative audience at St. Mark A. M. E. church in a recital Thursday evening. Miss Walker was introduced by Mrs. Marie T. Coles, president of the N. A. A. C. P. The program was rendered with natural ability as only Miss Walker can do in her own sweet way. She appeared in her best in "Madame Butterfly." Those who missed hearing this great artist expressed themselves as being unfortunate. Mrs. Naomi Thomas of St. Paul is in the city visiting relatives and friends. She will spend a few days as the guest of her aunt, Mrs. James Hall. Morris, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Simmons, was taken to Two Harbors, Minn., to a specialist. His leg had to be broken and reset. His many friends hope for a speedy recovery. Miss Eva B. Walker was honor guest at dinner Thursday night given by Mrs. M. Richey Adams. Covers were laid for six. Mrs. Reeves of St. Paul is in the city for an indifinite stay and is staying with Mrs. Verda Watts. Mr. Harold Stokes entertained Miss Eva B. Walker at a sight-seeing trip in Duluth and Superior. The famous boulevard drive and the ore docks were places of much interest and were enjoyed by the guests. Colored Convicts Show Courage Colored Convicts Show Courage Among the militiamen, guards civilians and convicts who are commended either for the courageous part they played or wanted to play in the seige at Eddyville last week, in which Lawrence Griffith, Harry Ferland and "Tex" Walters, desperado convicts, principals in the attempt to free themselves from prison, killing three guards and holding at bay hundreds of armed men three days when the more courageous rushed the mess hall of the prison and found the men shot, but suicides, is William Edmundson, colored, of Louisville, who is serving time at Eddyville for stealing a diamond ring. Edmundson pleaded with Guard Hill to be allowed to go into the mess hall where the men were lodged Saturday morning. "My lungs are all gone from mustard gas I got in France," he said, "I'm no good anyway. Let me go in and if they kill me you will know from the shots where they are." NEW SCHOOL COMPLETED BY ALL RACE WORKERS (By the Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., Nov. 3.—One of the outstanding achievements for Negroes along religious and educational lines is the recently completed Corpus Christi school in this city. This parish was created in 1916 and given over to Rev. Samuel Kelly, Josephite, who had many years' experience in establishing churches and schools for Negroes. The edifice was completed entirely by Negroes, from the drawing of the plans, to the plumbing and wiring. The present enrollment of the school is 940 and eight grades are taught. Registration in Maryland shows 122,942 Democrats; 79,131 Republicans; and 18,986 unaffiliated. Women voters display remarkable apathy since their franchise is assured, and their enrollment is far below normal eligibility.

FAIR PORTIA IN TEARS TO SAVE RACE CLIENT (By the Associated Negro Press) Hackensack, N. J., Nov. 3.—Despite the tearful plea of the 23-year-old white woman who was defending him, a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree was rendered against Theal Robinson, a brickyard worker who shot and killed John Barnes a few weeks ago. The white woman attorney, Miss Ann B. Hogan, based a plea for leniency on grounds that Robinson had shot in self-defense. She burst into tears as she made her final appeal to the jurors. Tuskegee to Hold January Confab Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, announced today that the Thirty-first Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference would be held at Tuskegee Institute January 16 and 17. The first day will be allotted to the farmers and discussions of their problems will feature the program of the day, while the second day will be devoted to divising means to improve conditions in general in the rural districts. The Tuskegee Negro Conference was established by Dr. Booker T. Washington, the founder of Tuskegee Institute, for the purpose of helping the farmer improve his economic status and living conditions and to create an interest in better schools, better health, better farming and farm and home owning. Each year subjects are discussed which are of particular interest to the farmer and this year Dr. Moton has appointed a special committee to study the needs of the farmer with the view of offering solutions which will result from the investigation. The subjects and principal speakers will be announced at a later day. Dr. H. Pinckney Jones of Pittsburg, Pa., will arrive in the city about November 26 for a few weeks' visit with his family at 779 Carroll avenue. Millions Placed in City Homes by Many Race Homeseekers Over $100,000 Per Week is Average Purchases Made by Out of Chicago Folk. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Oct. 26.—More than $10,000,000 in Chicago real-estate has gone over to Colored users either by lease or sale within the last year. It is continuing to turn over now at an average rate of more than $100,000 per week. With all of this, the housing situation continues in a serious state. The condition is accounted for by the tremendous influx that has been going on in Chicago all summer, starting in the early spring. When the people came, they were willing to stay with relatives, friends, at hotels, or anywhere convenient. With the approach of winter, many have had their families come to Chicago, and they are anxious to spread out. In fact, it is a physical necessity, as well as a righteous desire. "We sold our place down home, and we have decided to invest in a good six flat building," said one citizen to an A. N. P. representative, "It is my thought," he followed, "that I should put the money to good use while we have it. By investing in an apartment, I can have a place to live, and at the same time, provide for my family." Expressions of this kind may be heard almost daily. Outside Investments in Chicago There are more people outside of Chicago who have large investments in Chicago, than in any other city of the country, not excepting New York. There are people in the south who have property here who themselves have never set foot in Chicago. They have purchased through relatives or friends in whom they have confidence. Some of them expect to live in Chicago "later on." There are a number of business and professional men in the south who have homes in Chicago, where their families live, and from which the children go to school, and the fathers visit here from time to time. The community plan of apartment purchase has gotten under way in Chicago. An organization is formed and incorporated. A building of strictly modern improvements is found and each person buys an apartment. One building of this kind containing twenty-four apartments was purchased last week in a splendid neighborhood; another is now under contemplation. Under the law the community purchase corporation can buy but one building. This does away with speculation. Business Property Advancing It is noticeable that business property in Chicago is keeping pace with residential growth. In fact, the future is bright with concrete demonstrations of racial business sagacity that should be an inspiration for Colored America everywhere. Here is an instance or two: Chicago has the largest and finest hotels in the country owned and directed by the race. Is this satisfying? It would hardly seem so. A progressive business man has recently purchased one of the finest family hotels in the city on Grand Boulevard, and gets full possession next spring when the leases expire. Mr. John W. Webb, of the Woodmen of the Union, with headquarters in Arkansas, recently in- Send Us Your Clothes! Suits Dry Cleaned Pressed Repaired VALET Tailoring Co.

Strangely enough, while South Side Chicago has a number of very excellent theatres, all of them are under white ownership albeit some of them have ostensible racial management. There is a tremendous flow of cash through these channels into some hands where it is only appreciated for its dollars and cents value. This condition is true in a number of other cities. The banks have grasped the vision of co-operation; and through friendly competition are extending a hand of helpfulness that is proving successful. Even the banks conducted by the "other side" at least four or five in the immediate neighborhood, have had their "eyes opened" by the remarkable development of the racial banks, state and national. MOB AND LYNCH LAW NEXT TO ANARCHY, SAYS JUDGE Butte, Mont., Nov. 3.—"Mob law and lynch law," said Federal Judge George M. Bourquin recently, in charging the jury in a mob violence case in Billings, Mont., "mean the dissolution of government and society, and if injuries give heed to the specious plea of patriotism and refuse to vindicate the victims, they inspire distrust in orderly government, and will be responsible for the anarchy and overthrow of social order which must follow."

There seems to be a misunderstanding as to the aims of those in charge of the Community Fund of our city among our people, as many are under the impression that we as a race are not helped through this fund, which is far from the truth. We have several of our women employed by the Associated Charities, which is, one of the organizations that receives their support through this fund and there are others that help us. It is true also that this condition could be altered somewhat if those in charge would place some of our number on the teams seeking pledges which would make us feel more as a part of the community, which was the method used in our sister city, but this may have been an oversight, which in no way detracts from the purpose and aim of the Community Fund, but we hope that more consideration will be shown in the future.

Of the 33,044,445 inhabitants of the 17 southern states, including the District of Columbia, a trifle more than one-fourth, or about 26.9 per cent, are colored. In other words, in each group of 1,000 persons living in the southern states 731 are white and only 269 are colored, a condition that makes a joke out of the vicious cry of "Negro Domination" by ignorant politicians. Prior to the present migration, Mississippi and South Carolina were the only states in which the colored population contributed 50 per cent or more of the total state populations. The colored population of Georgia was 41.7 per cent of the total; that of Louisiana, 38.9 per cent; Alabama, 38.4 per cent, and Florida, 34.0 per cent. In no other southern state, including the District of Columbia, does the colored population form as much as 30 per cent of the state populations.

SOFT DRINKS AND CIGARS Ladies Invited Minneapolis Harvest inment GREAT NORTHERN URGES SAFETY Almost daily there is reported a very large loss of life through preventable accidents, and many people who are not killed outright are maimed and crippled in such accidents. Carelessness in crossing railroad tracks was responsible for more of these accidents than any other one cause. They are public as well as individual misfortunes. Your turn may come next if you too are not careful. Recklessness on your part will menace those on the train as well as yourself. There is always a train coming; it may be nearer than you think. A track ahead always means great danger. About eighty per cent of all automobile drivers do not stop or look in either direction before crossing a railroad track; in about twenty per cent of automobile crossing accidents the automobile is run into the side of a train. No such accidents could happen if automobile and other drivers were careful at every grade crossing. The train cannot turn out for the automobile, and must cross the highways at its usual speed in order to maintain the service that the people need and demand. Railroad employees and railroad companies are showing praiseworthy zeal and making rapid progress in the adoption of safety precautions and the liberal use of safety appliances in shops and switching yards as well as on the line. What is being done along this line will be more fully developed in another talk. National Apple Week, Oct. 31-Nov. 7.

Carter, executive secretary of the St. Pail Urban Ieague, very graphically informed us as to the fitness of the migrant to handle the big steel mills in Pennsyl- vania and Gary, Ind. Mr. Carter further stated that it was the con- sensus of opinion of the managers of the various steel companies that the migrant Negro had made good in un- skilled, semi and skilled labor, “Un- less there is an unusual economic de- pression, the spring of 1924 will wit- ness the greatest Migration of Ne- groes from the South ever because of the opportunities in the northern field.” All phases of the labor situation as affects the race were discussed. Greatest Convention. According to the information giv- en, the convention at Kansas City proved the greatest in the history of the Urban league with one exception all of the executive secretaries were presented at the sessions. The league is in great demand in various cities but owing to a lack of trained men available for the work additional branches have not as yet been es- tablished. These cities will have branches of the National Urban league as soon as men can be ob- tained to successfully carry on the work. Mr. Carter returned to St. Paul with great hopes for the Urban league work. Mrs. J. Russell, 3828 Fourth ave- nue south, underwent an operation at St. Mary’s hospital at Rochester.

There was no doubt about the soundness of the reason for his elimination from the army.” The charge placed against Mr. Weeks in the Flipper incident was that “he wrote a mean, contemptible letter to the military committee recommending the deféat of the bill for the rellef of Lieut. Henry 0. Flipper.” The committee on military affairs always, as a courtesy, for- wards such measures to the war de- partment for recommendation, and Republican leaders at the time charged that Mr. Weeks took advan- tage of the reference to make an unwarranted attack on Lieutenant Fupper, going outside the record to assail him. ‘The Sherrill Case. ‘The re-appointment of Col. C. 0. Sherrill, a North Carolinan, as ald to the chief executive, came through Mr. Weeks, it is alleged. Colonel Sherrill on numerous oc- casions has gone out of his way to embarrass members of our race, and in two memorable events carried out his practices. He provided separate seats for our people at the memorial service celebration in honor of Abra ‘ham Lincoln, and the easter egg roll- ing at the National Zoological park.

Sf BF Nipponese Loom as New Problem (By the Associated Negro Press.) Los Angeles, Cal.—Blocked in this state, the Japanese are still Itable to have a hand in American affairs, if the word of Brig. Gen. W. D. Potter, in charge of the United States forees in Hawaif, is to be given any cred- ence, General Potter declares that the Japanese in Hawaii are becoming an increasing source of concern, ‘At present they constitute about forty-nine per cent of the population of the islands, he avers, and they no longer are content to work as labor- ers, having branched out into the professions and into business. It Is fair to say that if their rate of In- crease keeps up a Japanese will be representing the islands in the Amer- jean Congress, Few immigrants are coming, but the Nipponese are pro- lifie and inasmuch as every one born in the islands is by law an American citizen, there seems to be no chance of dislodging them. According to General Potter, the Japanese in Hawaii operate a large number of the smaller businesses in Honolulu and have almost complete control of the trucking industry and also of the fisheries. ‘The big plan- tations and the larger commercial enterprises are still under the con- trol of white men, American and Britons mainly, but the General is of the opinion that even these will be seized by the yellow men eventual- ty. PanamaJoe Gans To Meet‘Flash’ Panama Joe Gans, welterweight scrapper, has been matched to battle Jock Malone of St. Paul ten rounds at the Auditorium on Friday, November 9, according to announcement made Saturday night by Angus Cameron, president of the St. Paul Boxing club. ‘The match was closed by Matchmaker Jack Reddy on his trip Bast. Reddy procured Gans’ signature for the bout on Thursday and suc- ceeded in signing Malone Saturday afternoon through his manager, Tom- my Walsh of Chicago, The math ‘will be the second mixed bout to be staged in Minnesota since boxing was legalized. Panama Joe Gans is recognized as one of the toughest welterweights in the country. The Negro scrapper has had considerable trouble in {n- ducing the boys of his weight to en- ter the ring. He is in the same posi- ‘tion as Harry Wills of the heavy- weight class. Malone fought Gans a twelve-round battle in Boston several months ago and earned a hairline decision. The verdict brought a storm of protest from Gans’ followers, who have been attempting to coax Malone back into the Boston ring for a return engage- ment. ‘This bout will be the second mixed bout in the state since interracial bouts began anew. It should prove a big drawing card. Few have seen Panama Joe Gans in the Northwest, but his reputation as a scrapper 1s noteworthy. The St. Paul flash is ‘scheduled to meet a tough opponent when he steps into the ring with the bronze battler next Friday evening Gans will arrive In the city Monday and will work.out at the Rose Room WILLS GETS $9,082.20 FOR WHIPPING H. SMITH New York—Harry, Wills receivea $9,082.20 for his five minutes and six seconds of fighting with Homer Smith in Kalamazoo, Mich., recently, it was announced here last week. Wills, it will be remembered, render- ed his opponent senseless with a number of powerful body blows, the knockout coming after two minutes and six seconds of fighting in the second round. The amount Wills re- cetved, if divided into five parts, will show that the Bronze Beauty Panth- er got approximately $1,800 a min- ute, Smith got $3,028.07. The gross receipts including the war tax of 10 per cent amounted to $28,124.80. The state gets 6 per cent. 7000 fans saw the fight and 6,164 paid for admission, Attorney Glesner Fowler has been elected secretary of the Railroad Por- ter and Walters’ Union. To I2£. 7t ST.

PAUL NEGRO MAY FALL HEIR TO OIL FORTUNE Rudolph Ellis, 21 year old, may be an oil magnate with a one-thirteenth share in a fortune of $1,883,000. And the oil well is still gushing. On the ground that Ellis is ineom- petent to transact business, W. D. Ja- mieson, 1908 Selby avenue, today was appointed the man’s guardian as the first step in clearing up a legal tangle which may result in making Ellis a millionaire. According to the story as it was re- lated in Ramsey county district court today, Ellis came from Texas where his father owned 120 acres of land, The father died and the heirs sold the old farm and bought fitty acres nearby. In 1922, an oll prospecting com- pany procured a lease from the Ellis children for the oil rights on the fifty acres. Oil was struck and the por- duction to date has netted $1,883,000. Signature Contention According to the testimony, how- ever, Ellis’ signature to the lease was affixed by an older brother who had been given power of attorney. Ellis at that time was a minor, however, and it is contended that he could not legally give his brother a power of attorney and that the lease, therefore is not binding. ‘The boy has received one-four hun- dred sixteenths of the proceeds of the oil as royalties but.the action started today will, if successful, make him a one-thirteenth owner of all the oll taken from the land. T. J. Doyle is attorney for the boy through his guardian to bring suit against the lease holders for recover- ing of the proceeds from the oil al- ready sold. During the days prior to his era of affluence Ellis worked for a broth- er in a Minneapolis restaurant. Then a few weeks ago the royalties be- gan to come in at the rate of $300 a@ month. Rodolphus thereupon resigned from his position in the restaurant. He was married seven months ago, and since then has been ‘living in St. Paal. ‘The fifty acres of land on which the sixteen oll gushers are located was left by his parents to be divided among thirteen children. About slx- teen months ago the oil boom started and each day since there has been new developments, ¥ Recently Married. A little over seven months ago, Mr. Ellis was married to Miss Bertha Coker of St. Louis, Mo., who former- Jater graduated from Simmons, Mrs. Ellis likes St. Paul very much and says that no doubt they will make their home in this elty. Both are very modest and unassuming and one would never think that Mr. Ellis re- cetves an income of $2,500 per month as his share. Guardians have leased the land of the Ellis children to an oil company on @ royalty basis. Litigation has been started by those in control of Ellis’ estate to have the amount of the royalties increased. If this is successful, Mr. Ellis wilt receive one-thirteenth of approxt- mately $2,000,000 and one-thirteenth of all the money netted from the property in the future, The Rosary - SPENCER-:-FLORIST The Artistic Flower Shop 110 East Sixth Street i Day Phone Night Phone Cedar 0117 Riv. 0117 Wedding Boquets a Specialty a THE SUPERIOR HOME LAUNDRY Ie Now Open For Business s WILL CALL FOR AND DELIVER ELK. 2344 MRS.
