EXPOSITION A GRAND SUCCESS Twin Cities Choirs Share Equal Honors VOLUME I, NO. 45 EXPO Twin CHOIR CONTEST ENDS WITH ALL HONORS DIVIDED Minneapolis Church Is Taxed to Capacity to Hear Rivals of Two Churches. BOTH DIRECTORS WIN PRAISE FROM AUDIENCE St. Peter's and St. James' Choirs Tied for Championship of the Twin Cities. The Choirs of St. Peter's A. M. E. church, Minneapolis, and St. James' A. M. E. church, St. Paul, met at the church of the former Wednesday evening for the second popular choir contest of the Twin Cities. St. Peter's choir, under the direction of Mrs. Maud Uptergrove, and St. James' choir, under Mrs. Antoinnette Crafton, held the audience spellbound with the greatest program of selection witnessed this year. Miss Eva B. Walker, Minneapolis elocutionist, and Miss Eula Belle Moore, St. Paul reader, also appeared on the program. Miss Essie Mason was organist for St. Peter's choir while Mr. Sidney Williams was the St. James' church accompanist. The first contest was held at St. James' church in St. Paul Wednesday, December 5, and the Mill City choir journeyed to the Saintlyt City in quest of victory. St. James' choir emerged victorious at the first session. Honors Now Even. Wednesday night's program in Minneapolis resulted in St. Peter's choir receiving the majority of votes. The two choirs now share equal honors and it was announced by Mr. O. C. Hall that the tie will be decided at a future date by giving a program outside of the Twin Cities. The programs presented represented hours of constant thought and rehearsing on the part of the singers. Both Mrs. Upthergrove and Mrs. Crafton deserve great credit for their presentation. Two outstanding numbers were "Listen to the Lambs," by Nathanial Dett, rendered by St. James' choir, and "Let My People Go," by Minneapolis' own Mrs. Kathryne Smith and sang by St. Peter's choir. Mrs. Smith received a large ovation following her number. St. Peter's church was taxed to capacity by the enthusiasts, and it is expected that the next program will be witnessed by the largest crowd as yet in attendance of a such contest. T. Arnold Hill is St. Paul Visitor Mr. T. Arnold Hill, Western field secretary of the National Urban League, arrived in the city Thursday morning from Chicago in order to attend the regular meeting of the St. Paul Urban League. Mr. Hill, who recently held the annual meeting of the Chicago Urban League, reports that "At no time in the history of the Negro has there been shown greater evidence of the head of the Urban League than now." The movement of race people from South to the North continues and the problems of race adjustment in northern cities becomes more perplexing. The Urban League presents the program for their solution. Mrs. Margaret Turner was granted a divorce from Ralph Turner. Just what you have been waiting for, a real home-cooked dinner, Ham and green and Chitterlings will be served on Thursday, Dec. 20, by Mrs. R. F. Wilson at her residence, 697 St. Anthony avenue...

THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIAN WORSHIP Camphor Church to Celebrate Fourth Anniversary Sunday Several Organizations Within and the invaluable aid of the general the Church Do Much Toward Methodist Episcopal church." Since Rev. Jordan became pastor of the church eight months ago, there has been a marked increase in the attendance and membership of both the church and Sunday school, the church membership almost being doubled. New organizations and activities have revived the spirit of the entire congregation. The Sunday Evening club has found its rightful place as a community force. Its programs are of unusual character. The free employment service has procured work for a goodly number of applicants, while new-comers have been assisted in finding homes. As relief service, several needy and worthy families were given baskets of groceries on Thanksgiving Day. Other relief work is planned for the future. The new "Community-Index System" with its survey and systematic method of community visitation has given the church a clear vision of its community task. A Mothers' Club, which is making a special study of family problems and other kindred activities under the direction of Mrs. Jordan, has brought the church into contact with the various organizations for community uplift in the city. "Yet," says Rev. Jordan, "we do not claim to have a real, modern church program so soon, for the type of program we have visualized for Camphor church still requires considerable time, patience, preparation, plans and methods. We cordially invite the public to our activities and services. Take Merriam-Mississippi car, get off at Thirteenth street." Philadelphia, Pa.—Organs of the church have already buckled down to do their part in making the influence of migrants from the South effective politically. The Christian Recorder of this city, published by the African Methodist Episcopal church, calls attention to the results obtained already by Negroes in voting, and urges the newcomers to band together to see hat more good Negroes are put into office. It believes the church should use its influence to see that the new voters obtain proper political results. The young ladies who appeared as models in the Style Show for the Negro Business League were: Miss Mae Peak, Mrs. Bianche Lee, Miss Lucille Johnson, Mrs. Beneerce Hamilton, Mrs. Geraldine Pickett, Mrs. Almee Hall, Mrs. Florence McGavock, Miss Isabelle Castone, Mrs. Betty Crawford, Mrs. Edna Webb, Mrs. Jessie Brown, Little Meredith Sizer, Laure Hall and Masters Billie Maxwell and David Hall. All hats worn by the models were furnished through the courtesy of the Quality Hat Shop, and were made by Mrs. Edith Pearmon. Several Organizations Within the Church Do Much Toward Its Success.

Tuesday, December 18, will be Anniversary Day. Beginning at 5 P. M. the Ladies' Ald will serve a special chicken dinner at 35 cents per plate. At 8 P. M. there will be a program with Rev. L. W. Harris of Pilgrim Baptist church and others as speakers. The congregation was organized 4 years ago in a private residence, and, after worshipping a year in various places, the present property was purchased by aid of the one hundred fifteen million dollar centenary movement of the Methodist Episcopal church. It was named "Camphor Memorial," in memory of the late Bishop Alexander Priestly Camphor, Negro bishop-elect to Africa in the Methodist Episcopal church. "The phenomenal success of Camphor Memorial," says Rev. Jordan, "has been due to a hard-working membership Associated Press Comments on Local Business League Act (Associated Negro Press) O. Howell, president of the Business League of St. Paul, at the behest of its members, dispatched a strong letter of protest to Chas. K. Blandin, president of the St. Paul Dispatch Publishing Co., publishers of a local white daily, protesting against the continued use on the part of the editors of the white papers of terms derogatory to the Negro race. The people of St. Paul were incensed when a headline in the daily announced "Darktown Attends Sumptuous Wedding" in referring to the recent Jackson-Walker nuptials in New York. This, Howell claimed, came as the climax to a number of similar references by writers for the same paper. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1923. Relief Work. AMES LODGE 106 I. B.

There were representatives at this joint meeting from several white organizations. These joint meetings, bringing prominent white people into conference with the executive committee and advisory board of the N. A. A. C. P., will be held from time to time with the idea of acquainting these white people with the problems of our group in this city. Mrs. Lucy Robinson, 632 W.

THE LOCAL "TRIUMVIRATE" PETER H. HARRIS MR. OWEN HOWELL President THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN DR. JOHN R. FRENCH Chairman ST. PAUL LAWYER IN IMPORTANT LEGAL VICTORY South Carolina Shyster Forced to Return Money Defrauded From Woman. In October, 1916, Mrs. Sally Bomar of Duluth, Minn., retained counsel at that place to bring suit for her through other attorneys at Spartanburg, S. C. The case dragged along until January, 1918, when the Spartanburg attorney notified the Duluth attorneys that the judgment entered in the case had been set aside; that the property had been sold and the defendant, obtaining the money from the court, had fled the jurisdiction of the court, and the labor spent in the action had gone for nothing. Client Gets Check. The Duluth attorneys, relying on the statement, dropped the matter and nothing more was done or thought about the case until August, 1923, when Mrs. Bomar accidentally met the other party to the suit in Chicago from whom she secured information which led her to believe that she had been "double-crossed." On September 27 last Mrs. Bomar consulted Attorney W. T. Francis of St. Paul, who immediately started an investigation at Spartanburg which led from hat place to Duluth and back again o Spartanburg. So skillful was Mr. Francis' efforts that on last Sunday Mr. Francis delivered to Mrs. Bomar at Duluth $3,500, representing the amount which the Spartanburg attorney had embezzled from her five ears ago. The Illinois Conference is going to have a program and dinner Sunday, December 16, all day service. We are marching with great spirit.

Bulletin Activities Arouses Sentiment of Contemporaries (Associated Negro Press) The Northwestern Bulletin of St. Paul has thrown itself into a crusade against the names of songs sung by Negro artists for phonograph companies. It is asking its readers to sign a coupon endorsing the resolution that "The Negro race shall commit itself being opposed to unethical phonograph records and further to do everything possible to co-operate with the race editors of America to help secure a more healthful type of musical numbers." The Bulletin further declares itself opposed to the titles of any records which will cause embarrassing situations to the women of our race or furnish position for their insult. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRICE: FIVE CENTS CESS DISPLAY PROVES GREATEST EVER IN NORTHWEST St. Paul Negro Business League Goes on Record as Giving Honor Event. AUDITORIUM IS SCENE OF ALL RACE EXHIBITS Mayor Praises Work of Business Men in Giving Second Annual Exposition. The second annual Exposition and Style Show, given by the St. Paul Negro Business League at the Auditorium December 10-11, now belongs to the historical achievements of the race in the Northwest. The outstanding feature of the exposition is that it was the greatest event in the history of the race in this section. At 7:45 Monday evening Mr. Owen Howell, president of the Business League, officially opened the exposition to the largest crowd of race people ever assembled in the Auditorium. The official opening was followed by "The National Emblem," played by Moore's Concert orchestra. Following the selection, the chorus from Pilgrim Baptist church, directed by Mr. Allen French, gave two well rendered and highly appreciated numbers. Boy Scout Escort. The local Boys Scouts acted as honorary escorts for Mayor Arthur E. Nelson. Forty strong, they marched in true military style, carrying an American flag and banners. Following the company of scouts was Mayor Nelson, accompanied by Dr. John R. French, chairman of the exposition, and Fred D. McCracken, vice-president of the Business League. The impressiveness of the "military" escort, marking time to martial music, brought a hush of respectful silence over the throng, reminding every one of the days of 1917. A big ovation was tendered the Mayor and his escorts as he mounted the platform; one that Mayor Nelson graciously recognized. Mr. Howell Speaks. Mr. Owen Howell said: "I am proud of the opportunity of being able to officially open this, the greatest exposition ever given by race business men in the history of the Northwest. It is regrettable, however, that all our members did not assist in this grand endeavor. However, those who gave the best efforts are responsible for this magnificent display. We thank the public for co-operating with us and hope that those who failed to perform their duty will realize that success is based on co-operation for the good of all." The speaker then told of the work of the league since its inception and the things accomplished. Following these remarks Mr. Howell will said: "I feel that the greatest man in St. Paul is our honorary guest. He has fully demonstrated his belief in fair play on many occasions. I take great pleasure in introducing Mayor Arthur E. Nelson of St. Paul." Mayor Nelson Says. Mayor Nelson accepted the ovation of the audience and when the applause subsided began to tell of the value of co-operation for a better St. Paul and graphically stated that the race was playing a tremendous part in this undertaking. "The colored people of St. Paul have proven themselves worthy of every right as citizens. Prejudice has no right to exist against any man because of color, creed or religion. Therefore, as Mayor of St. Paul, I feel no greater honor has ever been given me than to welcome this great exhibition, conceived, produced and managed by our respected colored business men." Mayor Nelson further commended the men responsible for the exhibition and praised the work of the Negro Business League in St. Paul. He dwelled at length on the value of cooperation and the race man's part in the making of a community. His (Continued on Page 4) Page 2 Entered as second-class matter February 20, 1922, at the postoffice at St. Paul, Minn., under the Act of March 3, 1879. Member of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS "First in Service" IN DEFENSE OF THE MINISTRY Prof. Kelly Miller, Dean of Howard, condemning the race ministers that the ends of work in connection with their duties his contention on the fact that he as to take all of the minister's time church and keep in contact with his wife, Prof. Miller's version sounds very cannot be accepted, at least, for the who is fortunate enough to have a large enough to support him adept preferred class of Prof. Miller's idea, an afford to maintain a modern ministry to other channels for income. It may be many churches whose membership churches are found in small communities need the gospel just the same as the nation. The average minister does church, yet there is not the same end supporting membership. This may or not for a minister to display, but cognac that ministers must live and that his family is just as great as any one in all sections of the country be abiding in a sufficient salary the theory. So long as there are churches to yet need the spirit of the Creator, the scised too severely for doing some of the actual work of the ministry. One of our best assets of the civic, economic ministers. In various communities like decisions for the common cause or need to be of the better quality. Yet his cities unless he is versed in the dutifullyversed without experience. The work minister as well as a Sunday mornin that the minister should resort to woe must be taught how to live, move in the week as well as the seventh. Every church in every community can accept the Prof. Miller theory. Until it criticise the minister with a small church something not of a strict ministerial nativities of life. Last week Prof. Kelly Miller, Dean of Howard University, issued an article condemning the race ministers that find it necessary to do other kinds of work in connection with their clerical duties. Prof. Miller bases his contention on the fact that the Ministry is so large a job as to take all of the minister's time to adequately deal with his church and keep in contact with his members. In theory, Prof. Miller's version sounds very well, but the practical value cannot be accepted, at least, for the time being. The race minister, who is fortunate enough to have a church whose membership is large enough to support him adequately, may be placed in the preferred class of Prof. Miller's idea. But not all of our churches can afford to maintain a modern minister without his having to resort to other channels for income. It must be admitted that there are many churches whose membership is from twenty to thirty, such churches are found in small communities. Yet these small communities need the gospel just the same as the metropolitan cities of the nation. The average minister does not loathe to accept a small church, yet there is not the same enthusiasm shown as in a self-supporting membership. This may or may not be the right disposition for a minister to display, but cognizance must be taken of the fact that ministers must live and the cost of living and supporting his family is just as great as any one else. Should every church in all sections of the country be able to support a minister by paying him a sufficient salary the theory of Prof. Miller could be accepted. So long as there are churches that cannot support a pastor, yet need the spirit of the Creator, the minister surely cannot be criticised too severely for doing some other line in conjunction with the actual work of the ministry. Again, some of our best assets of the civic, economic and financial world are ministers. In various communities the minister is expected to make decisions for the common cause of all. His judgment is expected to be of the better quality. Yet how can he serve in these capacities unless he is versed in the duties of life. And how can he be versed without experience. The world needs a seven day a week minister as well as a Sunday morning speaker. We do not believe that the minister should resort to worldly methods, but the populace must be taught how to live, move and have their being six days in the week as well as the seventh. When every church in every community can support its ministers we can accept the Prof. Miller theory. Until then we cannot too severely criticise the minister with a small church who is forced to resort to something not of a strict ministerial nature in order to meet the necessities of life. THE EXHIBITION Is second annual exhibition of the Press? Offer to the above question depends upon attempts to answer it. There are ample who cannot distinguish between the颈. Is the aim of the exhibition? Was it Was the second annual exhibition of the Negro Business League a success? The answer to the above question depends upon the vision of the one who attempts to answer it. There are among us, unfortunately, a group who cannot distinguish between the end and the means to that end. What was the aim of the exhibition? Was the end in view merely staging a style show? By no means, although we deeply appreciate and thank those who took part. Was the aim and end in view the choral club, the orchestra, or any of the other attractions, the individuals of which labored so strenuously, many without recompense, in order to make it a success? Hardly that—though words of appreciation are vain in an attempt to express our gratitude for their services. Was it in order that we might know who could display the cleverest exhibits? No, not that. What was it? There are seven thousand race members in St. Paul, and nearly twenty thousand in Minnesota. If we can bring home to each member of our group, or even to the majority of them the fact that, first, there are over two hundred members among us actually engaged in various business enterprises, that these various groups are thriving, are serving, and also depending upon us for existence. Second, that if it is possible for them to exist, it is quite probable that there are many more business ventures that would succeed. When once this fact comes home to the public, we shall realize that the success of a race depends less upon the number of prominent men you can call by their first name, and more upon the extent of business and industrial activity. If there is a single new business venture launched as the result of the inspiration of exhibition during the year, or if there is a single customer gained for a single business man who took part in that exhibition, then the exhibition will not have been in vain. It, on the contrary, will be a great success. The members and officers in particular of the Business League are to be congratulated, first, upon having the vision that made possible the exhibition, and second, for putting it across in such a large scale. If you did not come out you missed a tremendous opportunity to realize what is possible for our group to do. Let us trust that the spark struck off by this demonstration will blaze into such a conflagration of business endeavor that every man, woman and child will appreciate the results to be obtained by spending our dollars where they are appreciated as well as needed. Timely Topics (Chicago Whip) That ignorant suspicion, that selfish jealousy and that lack of faith in each other which is characteristic of the black race is that which we, the black people ourselves, have termed "evil mindedness." It is a well known accusation made by the black man against himself that he is evil. When they used to say that "black is evil" they meant that things black were tainted with mysticism, that they savored of the wicked, that darkness was associated with crime. Conjuration and black magic gave the tinge of evil to things of ebony hue but now with the advance of civilization and the growth of intelligence nobody thinks that black is evil except those who have remained sedentary while humanity marched forward, but they do still ery that we are "evil minded." We have among us those who bite the feeding hands, who mistrust their own benefactors, those who create imaginary enemies and magnify their woes, those who misconstrue every honest motive intended to benefit them. They are the evil minded who are too well known by the members of our race. The race of American black people is infested with those people who have distorted minds, they are easily offended and they go around looking for the weakness in everything and fail to see its potentialities. These people positively and absolutely are unwilling to think straight for that reason, if for none other, it is extremely difficult to cement the great cleavage that keeps us separated upon those matters which affect us so vitally. Honest difference of opinion can be condemned by no man, but the constitutional disgruntled, the distrusting and suspicious type, is one of the greatest liabilities of our people. The "evil mindedness" of our people has caused more business to fail, has deluded the ardor of more ambition, has stilled the spirit of more institutions and men among us than any other force that we can estimate. Evil mindedness caused a successful bank to fall among us a few years ago, it also caused a bright young minister to take off his sombre robes and desert the church, it has poisoned the minds of many of us against our own. Many able members of the black race cloister and sequester themselves from their own people because of this regrettable state of affairs. When we find a man who is "cold on the race question" and unconcerned about the conditions of his people upon getting into his confidence it will be discovered that somewhere in his life he has been victimized by the evil minded. If the mass-mind is evil and distrusting, then the unification of forces and ideals is made impossible and those meta-physicians of ours who wish straight thinking and mass action had better begin to work on the minds of our people. When our minds are made to function correctly our actions will count for more. At the present time our "evil mindedness" is vitiating all efforts toward solidarity and cohesion. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE 'St. Louis Argus' That part of President Coolidge's message which made special reference to the twelve million (12,000,000) colored people, was scrutinized very closely by the thoughtful men and women of the race. Of course, the Argus does not approve of the "Commission" to study the proper relations of the races toward each other. We contend that a Commission could not tell more than is generally known to the least informed person of the country. Its findings could only be, if truthfully reported, that the colored people are lynched and sometimes burned at the stake because of the most trivial offense. This could be broken up entirely by making lynching a Federal offense. Then there is also that abominable Jim-Crow car system. We hold that if the government can protect cattle and freight under an Inter-state law, surely Uncle Sam can protect citizens in their rights to a first-class accommodation while travelling. Those are two of the most outstanding evils that vex the very soul of every colored person in the United States. The very fact that Uncle Sam does nothing for the protection of the colored people in cases where it is the government's plain duty, that in itself gives encouragement to all kinds of other evils, such as injustices in the courts and other petty discriminations. All of those things are well known and have not been done in a corner nor under a bushel. A Commission could compile these facts. But the N. A. A. C. P. has done much along this line. The BOOTERIE SAINT PAUL 375 ROBERT "Romany" Boot Sandal Suede leathers...$18.00 Satins ...$15.00 Stocked in six colors Black Mandalay Otter Sand Cocoa Cinnamon NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN We regard the statement of President Coolidge that refers to "outside interference" as a surrender to the dictates of the South. That has been the forword of the South ever since before the Civil War. It was the "outside interference" that saved the Union and freed the slaves. The white South has ever since that time continued to complain about outside interference every time any kind of movement has been started to help the Negroes to help themselves. We can't believe that the President was ignorant or failed to grasp the full significance of his words when he wrote his message. It may be, however, that he was compelled to yield to the wishes of Bascom Slemp on this point. These last two words, "outside interference," to our minds betray a weakness in the President of the United States that will be hard for him to overcome. If nothing else in his message pleases the South, we are quite sure that that point will give comfort and consolation to every Southerner who wants a new lease on lynching and the whole category of deviltry practiced against the Negroes. "TEDDY" JR. FOLLOWS IN FOOTSTEPS OF FATHER (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., has spurned the offer of support of the Ku Klux Klan in his candidacy for governor of the state of New York. "I have not heard one thing about the Klan endorsing me," Mr. Roosevelt said. "I cannot conceive that it is so, because I came out flat-footed against them in a public speech on Lincoln's birthday last year. The fundamental principle of Americanism is that men should be judged as men, and no distinction made on racial or religious lines." The statement was contained in a letter written to the N. A. A. C. P. WHERE IS SANHEDRIN IS WHAT EVERYBODY ASKS (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y.—What has become of the Sanhedrin or All-Race Conference? This inquiry is being made by various national organizations here who were instrumental in projecting the idea upon the public mind. Prof. Kelly Miller of Washington, D. C., is chairman of the committee on arrangements. His last announcement postponed the date of the conference which has accepted an invitation to meet in Chicago from November to February. Most of the national civic, fraternal, religious and business organizations, it is said, have selected delegates to attend the conference. BLUE BOOK WILL GIVE FACTS ON RACE SINCE 1830 Washington, D. C.-The first "Blue" book, a report on the free Negroes in the United States for the year 1830 is soon to be issued by the Association for Study of Negro Life in History, to which Dr. Carter G. Woodson is director. This report will give the names of colored people who were heads of families in 1830 in this country, where they were living, how many were in each family, how many slaves each owned and what relation these free Negroes sustained to the white people. This research covers also the statistics of absentee ownership of slaves by whites. The first volume of the report will be published within the next six months. Using it as a basis, the director will make further investigation of the free Negroes to determine their economic status, their social position, the attitude of the southern whites toward this class, and the opinion of the North with respect to them as citizens. Working in this same field, but developing special aspects of this history, are George F. Dow and Miss Irene A. Wright. Mr. George F. Dow has been employed to read the 18th century colonial newspapers of New England for facts bearing on the Negro. Miss Irene A. Wright is now extracting from the Archives of the Indies in Seville, Spain, some valuable documents showing the part the Negroes played in the early struggle between the British and Spanish in America and especially the records of the Mose Settlement of Negroes in Florida and the achievements of the Negroes in Louisiana. Miss Wright will also copy all accessible documents of Latin-America, giving accounts of Negroes in higher spheres of usefulness. The Association is endeavoring to employ an investigator to render the same sort of service in the British Museum and the Public Record Office in London.

Beck, an ex- perienced naturalist and collector of marine birds, who has been cruising among the islands of the southern Pacific for the last three years in charge of the Whitney Ornithological expedition. He has covered 20,000 miles and visited nearly 100 islands in Polynesia and the Marquesas, ‘This collection, noted for its scien- tifle value and beauty, now is in the Museum of Natural History'here, and ts being catalogued, appraised and classified by Dr. Robert ©. Murphy, assistant curator of birds at the museum, It will be some time, Doc- tor Murphy told a representative’ of the Christian Science Monitor, before Mr. Beck's collection,will be ready for public exhibition, but it is already obvious, he said, that the specimens brought back will provide a valuable addition to ornithological data. Strange Spectes Found. One of the outstanding discoverles made by Doctor Beck was that envi- ronment and Isolation have a marked effect on the development of birds, both in color markings-and in organte structure. Birds of the same family discoyered on one island were found to be quite different from those only & few miles away. Very often two birds of the same genus found on dif- ferent islands would differ in size or thelr beaks might vary, or tHe color markings of one would be of a deeper shade and more pronounced than those of the other. The expedition has brought back many specimens either totally un- known up to the present or which have been studied only from photographs or written descriptions, For instance there is Peale’s Petrel, discovered by Titian Peale in 1838 and not seen or heard of since, of which several spect- mens were secured by Doctpr Beck. It Is a dark, demure little bird, and as one turns it In the hand mysterious greens and bines and brownish blacks are seen. ‘The Polynesian sandpiper, a small, pert thing, whose feathers are white, mottled with « pecullar pale brown, was up to a few days ago only known to the world through five carefully guarded specimens, Doctor Murphy proudly exhibited nearly half a tray- fal. Doctor Beck also found a rare variety of cuckoo which, according to ‘some accounts, is parasitic and lays its eggs in the nests of the brilliant fruit pigeons and the sagacious look- ing terns. “Extinct Birds” Found. Doctor Murphy pointed out that sev- eral of the forms discovered by the ‘Whitney expedition had been listed as “extinct birds” during the early years of this century. ‘The Christmas {sland warbler has never before been represented in any collection and was known to ornithologists only through a description now found to be at fault. ‘The museum at Turin, Italy, is the only collecting agency that has fore stalled the Natural History museum im obtaining the fruit pigeon from Rapa, whose distinguishing feature 1s & crown of crushed raspberry sur rounded by a narrow elrclet of gold. Tt would take a fairsized book to describe the splendor and the beauty of Doctor Beck's collection. There are the parrakeets, blazingly bright; there 1s the red-tailed tropic bird, whose feathers have a pearly sheen tinted with a delicate pink glow; green teals; the blue-sky kingfisher, and the most ‘striking of all, the fruit pigeons. Every color in the rainbow scintillates from the fruit pigeons in Doctor Mur- phy’s office—moss green, deep, deep crimson, orange-burnt dark by the sun, and an endless number of lilacs, amen dt ohn aan Man Forced to Spend Night in Asphalt Pit Canton—After chopping with axes for more than two hours, workmen succeeded in rescuing P, P, Hassan, thirty-six, from a block of asphalt where he had been embedded all night.

What was the “Free African Society?” In 1787 Absalom Jones and Rich- ard Allen of Philadelphia led in a movement to found an organization among the race, the purpose of which was to support one another in sick- ness, and assist widows and father- Jess children. This organization was formed without regard to religious tenets, but the persons were requir- ed to live an orderly and sober life. It was known as the “Free African Society” and the following interest- ing clause is a part of one of its ar- ticles of organization, i. e.: “We deem it necessary that the children of our deceased members be under the care of the society, so far as to pay for the education of their chil- dren; also to put them out appren- tices to suitable trades or places. 77. With whose assistance did Simon Boliver liberate South Amer- fea from the yoke of Spain? In 1811 the fllustrious Bolivar un- dertook his great deed of shaking off the yoke of Spain, and securing the independence of South America. He fled to Jamaica, and being unsuccess- ful'in obtaining assistanee, he repair- ed to Haiti, where Petion gave him a most cordial welcome and assisted him with men, arms and money. Bol- ivar’s first expedition with Haitian volunteers was unsuccessful, and he feared lést Haiti refuse further as- sistance; but to his surprise Haiti rushed him re-iniforeements, which finally turned his disasters to victory and the spirit of liberty marched on to the redemption of South Ainerica. 78.

PRES, COOLIDGE ASK MORE FUNDS TO RAGE SCHOOLS (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ul—Leaders of Negro thought who have been commanicat- led with since the reading of the pres- dential message in the early part of ithe week are frankly puzzled by that part of the message which referred to the Negro, There is now, more pronounced than ever, the feeling that something, something more ad- vanced than was suggested by Mr. Coolidge has got to be done with the so-called “problem.” There is a disposition on the part Jot many to give Mr, Coolidge credit for the courage to say the same {things that other Presidents have said without considerable effort to sug- gest anything new. It is significamt that, placed as the paragraphs on the Negro are in the hiessage, following those on probibi- tion and the necessity of law enforce- ment, there is nothing said about a stricter enforcement of the laws rela- tive to the treatment to be accorded the Negro. There is the same atti- tude of “the Negro is a part of Amer- fca's citizenry. He should be treated fl right, The crime of lynching 1s bad. We ought to do something, probably create a commission to study ail the forms of mistreatment to ‘which these 12,000,000 are subjected. Of course, much in the improvement lof race relations will depend upon local conditions and the improvement of understanding. Dr. Moton has just told us that two races which un- derstand cach other cannot hate each other. So we think there had better be this commission, some kind of a commission to study the matter.” Asks Appropriation. That's the way It has gone along fall the while. Mr. Coolidge adds the other note of doing something for Howard University’s medical school, fa subject in which all of the race is interested, but which it is regretia- ble to have to have brought to the attention of the national legislature. Because white, or American, medical echools refuse to admit Negro applt- cants, Jim Crow them, the Congress must be sought to provide an appro- priation for us charity-deserving peo- ple. It seems that the half million dollars could be so much more wor- thily spent in an effort to persuade against the barring away from any American school of any class of Amer- {ean citizens, Mr. Coolidge, lke most of our Presidents, shies at the suggestion of strict enforcement of laws relative to Negro. Negro leaders have about be- come convinced that there is a det- {nite conviction against such an ex- pression among white leaders from the President down. Negroes are be- coming subject to the fear that white men in positions of influence are afraid to tackle the problem of Negro Jaw enforcement. Bither that or they do not respect power of the Negro vote, or do not regard the sanctity of hig citizenship suffietently to stand out for law enforcement, It is generally believed that Mr. Coolldge’s disposition of the Negro question was dono easily, perhaps more easily than any other covered in his comprehensive message. Ne- gro soldiers will be sorry that he Is against the bonus, inasmuch as they, largely situated in the southern, or oor states, will be the chief ones to [suffer from such distavor.

MILL CITY DAILY PAPER IS AMONG RACE HELPERS (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, N. ¥.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has announced that out of a number of white papers to which letters were sent, requesting support in the fight to free the Hous- ton martyrs, the New York Bvening Post, Minneapolis Journal, Cineinnat! Post and The Christian Science Mont- itor published the letter. “Ballad of the Brown Girl” Is a prize winner Bynner undergraduate poetry con- test, according to an announcement from the Poetry Society of America, under whose auspices the contest was held. Cullen was one of the 700 un- der-graduates, representing sixty- colleges and unfversities, entered in the competition. The judges were Carl Sandburg, Alice Corbin and Mr. Bynner. Cullen received one vote, while the other two chose Maurice Leseman’s “In the Range Country” as the winning poem. Leseman rep- resented the University of Chicago. Cullen's topic was “The Ballad of the Brown Girl.” The poem is 200 lines in length. Its theme is: Oh, lovers, never barter love For gold or fertile lands, For love is meat and love is drink, And love heeds love's commands. And love is shelter from the rain And.scowling, stormy skies; Who casts off love must break his heart And rue it till he dies. Cullen is the son of the Rev. Fred- erick A. Cullen of 234 West 31st street, pastor of the Salem Methodist church. He is 20 years old and a student in the junior class of the Col- lege of Arts and Pure Sclence. Many of his contributions have been printed in various magazines. His writing first attracted attention when he was ‘a student at De Witt Clinton high school, where he won the poetry prize offered by the Federation of Women’s Clubs. His effort for that contest took the form of a parody on Alan Seeger's “I Have a Rendezvous With Death,” which Cullen called “I Have a Rendezvous With Life.” This poem follows: T have a rendezvous with Life, In days I hope will come Ere youth has sped and strength of mind, Ere voices sweet grow dumb; T have a rendezvous with Life When Spring's first herald’s hum. Sure, some would ery it better far To crown their days in sleep, ‘Than face the wind, the road and rain, To heed the falling deep. Though wet, nor blow, nor space, I fear, Yet fear I deeply, too, Lest Death should greet and claim me ero I keep Life's rendezvous. Cullen says he is interested in po- etry for poetry's sake and not for propaganda purposes. “In spite of myself,” he adds, “however, I find that I am actuated by a strong sense of race consciousness. This grows upon me, I find, as I grow older; and although I struggle against it, it col- ors my writing, I fear, in spite of ev- erything I can do, There have been many things in my life that have hurt me, and I find that the surest rellef from these hurts is in writing.” “ Cullen, who has another year at New York University before receiving his degree, plans @ teaching career after graduation.

The fight over Robinson's invention has raged for years. It is changed by some that he collected more than a million dollars, mostly from poor whites, on the strength of what he was to get from the rail- roads, for his invention, once his claims were proved. He owns a num- ber of high-powered cars, one of these being the famous Fist roadster first bought by Jess Willard. Fighting Group —Avers Split in A, M. E, Church Nashville, Tenn.—A. M. EB. church circles are preparing for the 1924 general conference to be held in Louisville. A number of important issues are expected to be divided at the coming conclave. None, however, eurmounting in interest the fight which threatens over the Sunday jschool publishing house, located here, and the attitude of Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the Sunday School Union. It 1s claimed that the problem which is facing the Methodists is the same which split the National Baptist con- vention back in 1915. So warm has the situation grown through what a leading bishop during the recent Atlanta conference describ- jed as the “practical usurpation of the church's interests” and the “auto- cratic attitude of Secretary Bryant” that some of the more conservative officials who abhor a fight are said to be favoring the abandonment of the Nashville plant, Oppose Bryant. During the Tennessee conference which was held at Nashville this month, the Atlanta conference, the Georgia and South Georgia confer- ences held at Savannah and Thomas- ville, the selection of delegates to the general conference and the publish- ing board sitwation were the main topics. It is said that friends of Mr. Bryant have made a definite attempt to elect delegates who would follow his bidding but that in practically ev- ery conference they have met defeat. It {s pointed out by opponents of Mr. Bryant that under the laws of Tennessee the boards of control gov- erning such institutions as schools and chureh property are made self- perpetuating. ‘This fact they aver enabled the so- called Boyd group to retain control ot the immense publishing interests which have been built up through the National Baptist convention when the convention endeavored to exercise control and appoint officials. The courts held that under the Tennessee laws the board was supreme. Van- cera University, the wealthy white school here, founded and developed by the M, 2. Chureh South, was taken over by its board under similar con- ditions and the church has been a a a a Battle Expected. ‘Thus, it is said, is the situation tacing the A. M. E.'s. Secretary Bry- ant is accused of inaugurating a rule or ruin policy opposing every Bishop who has been appointed to the district and to have amassed wealth since his tenure of office. Egorts to dislodge him in the past have been unsuccess- ful and a merry battle is looked for in Louisville next May. Eleven delegates were elected at the Georgia conference and seven at the South Georgia conference which was presided over by Bishop Flipper. At the Tennessee conference held here November 9, Bishop A. J. Caray presided and seven delegates were elected. Secretary Bryant created something of sensation when he arose to a question of personal privilege and proceeded to defend his actions in interesting himself in certain local matters relating to St. John’s church in which the conference was held. ‘The reply of Dr. G. W. Williams, the pastor, bristled with charges. The ineident closed with some stirring re- marks by Bishop Carey, who claimed that he bad been falsely accused by those who had rather destroy than build up the chureh and race. The conference passed a strong resolution commending Bishop Carey's adminis- tration, , $75,000,000 PER YEAR _ LOST CAUSED BY ILLNESS ! eat (By the Associated Negro Press) Birmingham, Ala.—“It is estimat- ed that 100,000 Negro workers in the South can be found sick every day,” declared Dr. Robert R. Moton, prin- cipal of Tuskegee Institute, during an address dedicating the Tuggle Insti- tute hospital. “At the very lowest jestimate this means that the race is losing in earning capacity nearly 50,- 000,000 of doliars every year by sick- ness alone. In the race as a whole nearly half a million persons can -be found sick every day in the year. When you add the cost of doctors’ bills and medicine to the loss of earn- ings due to the same cause, we find that sickness is costing the race more than $75,000,000 a year.” ‘The party who is holding the Incky mumber 99 please call Dale 2149— Aav. ioe . , ’s Quality Sh i" =e % ge Carland’s Quality Shop , a!

W. Harding, a white planter representing the backwoods- men of Mississippi, conceived the idea that there were thousand of our peo- ple in Chicago praying to get back to the cotton fields of the South. He planned a wholesale raid of the South Side, and set his machinery in motion with the aid of Righard E. Parker, editor of a “now and then” newspaper, and Clarence Powers. Headquarters were established at Golden Star employment office, 3233 State St. Harding had been duped to believe that 300 families would leave with him to the first train South. In- stead his hopes were wrecked when he stood at the station and greeted only 12 subjects ranging in age froin 46 to 72 years. He was disgusted. R. J. Carmichel, assistant passenger agent of the Illinois Central, stood close by. “Not enough,” he remarked to Harding. “We can't give you any re- duction. Just at this moment a giant loco- motive steamed slowly by and stopped. ‘Three coaches crammed with dark people that came all the way from Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessce hopped out burdened with luggage and filed by Harding. He deserted his ragged followers and escape to a Loop hotel. Parker, his handy man, gave the Harding bunch word to return at 5 o'clock and added that each should “bring a friend along.” ‘When the hour arrived a few ragged strangers appeared and Harding, rather than go empty-handed, took them along. What he will do with ‘them is problematical. Harding apparently came to Chi- cago under misguided influence. His money was long, but his judgment short. He scattered 18,000 hand bills on the South Side and augmented this appeal by sending out a wagon heavily placarded with signs describ: ing the glory of the cotton field and the Sunny South. He told his lix teners (those who had nothing else to do) how the Southern white man had changed; that the hand that ‘once held the lyncher’s rope and the mob’s torch had been replaced by angels’ wings; how the “law” had reformed and would function with- out regard to color. But his host could not see it that way. Citizens throughout the South Side ‘marveled at Harding’s colossal nerve and wondered how the city would permit him to come here as a labor agent when in the South men are thrown in jail and even murdered for such practices. The Illinois law per- mits slave driving Southern planta tion owners to canvass its territory in search of prey without the slight- est molestation, while in Mississipp! @ decent and respectable Northerner rounding up labor there would be slain on sight. * Mr. Walter McCoy and family of Minneapolis spent Saturday afternoon with his mother, Mrs. W. McCoy, and sister, Mrs. Lilllan McKnight, 478 ‘West Central avenue. 2ND ANNUAL EXPOSITION ATTENDED BY THRONGS (vontinued from page 1) closing remarks were: “I am glad to be here, to witness your display. ‘The part you are playing is one of great Importance. The colored man is no less thag a citizen and I wish for you the greatest possible success in your undertaking, and I am al- ways glad to be a helper in any ca- pacity where you are benefited.” Style Show and Contest. The Style Show proved the Shuffle Along number, “If you've never been vamped by a brown skin,” is more truth than poetry. Never has the Twin Cities witnessed so beautiful a group of perfect models displaying the variations of miladies creations from lingerie to eyening gowns. A display of beautiful, hats, sport out- fits, afternoon frocks, mink, seal and ‘other fur wraps caught the eye of the "pectators and put several years of mew life into some of the older Suess. ‘The bridal party was ex.

The contestants were in keen rivalry for first honors, and it was truly in- teresting to watch the ladies “gum shoeing” with their cards for support. About half the confetti in the Au- torium must have been made by punching holes in their cards. Isa- belle Castoni won first prize in the Popularity Contest. Albertina Mon- tague second prize. Prof. Wm. Moore and his concert orchestra were a formidable asset to the exposition. One of the noticeable features was the diversity of musical presentations. “‘Ii" ‘Trovator” and “Gypsy Blues” were no hindrance, as both kinds of music was well played. ‘During the dance program the band fairly radiated syncopation. —_ With Exhibitors. ‘The Auditorium, looking from the farthest part of the balcony, appeared like a decorated garden as every color could be clearly discerned in the ar- ray of exhibitors’ booths. Every kind of worth-while commodity was on display by the various merchants. The following are those who had booths at the Auditorium: Mrs. W. B. EIll- ott, groceries; Mts. Lillian Burris, millinery; Mrs, Geo. Aikins, painting; Cardozo Furniture Co., Wilson Bak- ery, Elmer Morris, drugs; F. D.

The exposition was beyond doubt the greatest ever produced in the his- tory of the Northwest and was a credit to the race in every respect. jelevens were put out of the running, which leaves Wiley at the top of the heap. ‘The conference schedule has been completed with the exception of one game, between Bishop and Paul Quinn, which is to be played next Friday in Marshall. The winner of this game will have undisputed pos- session of second place. It will be one of the best games of the season, as each team 1s anxious to meet the other, having played a 3-3 tie last year, which resulted in each school claiming the championship of the col- ored schools of the entire Southwest. The following is the standing of Football the Country Over The Lineman (By the Associated Negro Press) Marshall, Texas—Wiley College is again at the top of the Southern Ath- etic conference. By defeating. Prairie View, 10-6, Thanksgiving day, the purple and white entry from Marshall cinched the championship in football for the season of 1923. Prior to the Turkey day battles, four conference levens had a chance at the cham- pionship, Wiley, Bishop, Paul Quinn and Prairle View. The dope was completely upset last Thursday when Texas College, who had not won a conference battle all season, smeared Bishop and went back to Tyler with the long end of a 3-0 battle. Sam Huston, another conference tail ender, came to life and fuel the much heralded Paul Quinn jeleven to a 7-7 tle.
