Two Calesthenic Drill RACE ATHLETICS Glover of Howard Kennedy; O., and Pollard of Webster, Wid- dy's Boys' Relay Team, Glover First in Its Class; Saunders With 24 Points; Howard 1 Points And Long Third. A crowd estimated at between 15,000 and 18,000 witnessed the exciting events of the great World-Herald Public School Field Meet on Ak-Sar-Ben field last Friday afternoon and cheered the young contestants striving for honors for their respective schools. The forty-six grade schools of greater Omaha participated. It was an inspiring ocular demonstration of the work of true Americanization which is being carried on in the schools of this city where children of all races and nationalities are taught in common, play together, and compete with one another. Perhaps no more inspiring sight was ever witnessed in Omaha than the calesthenic drill given by 2,500 eighth grade pupils. This meet was unique in that girls as well as boys competed and the girls made a great showing. Sauney's school won the championship trophy by the work of the girls. There were five colored girls on the shuttle relay team of Howard Kennedy school, the school that won the second grand trophy. They were: Charlotte Maddox, Sibyl Merrifield, Emma Wilholte, Ina Williams and Ruth Hickman, the other members of the team being Gwendolyn Kester, Bernice Rowler, Florence Jorgensen, Alice Burnell and Elsie Furstenberg. This team won third place, Saunders being first and Garfield, second. This gave Howard Kennedy one of the two points scored by girls for that school, the other being scored by a colored girl, Evelyn Battles, who was third in the 50 year dash, Lauretta Toy of Dundee, being first, and Edith Kennedy of Saunders second. Five members of the boys' shuttle relay team of Howard Kennedy were colored. They were Eugene Brown, George Mackim, Eddie Sanders, Leonard McGowan and Clyde Frampton; the other boys being John Bigley, Herman Abendroth, David Mittleman, Harry Schropp and Elmer Miller. This team won second, due to the great spurt of Glover, who shot like an arrow past the feet-foot- EQUAL RIGHTS VOTED FOR NEGRO STUDENT Omission From Alphabetical List in Seat Assignments Repudiated by Classmen. Students in the political science department at the University of Minnesota are not willing to have racial distinctions made in classes. They repudiated the action of Professor Jeremiah Young, who omitted the name of Willard Morrow, a Negro student, when he was assigning seats in alphabetical order, by voting to permit Morrow to take his place in alphabetical sequence with the other students. Professor Young told Morrow he could take a seat at either side or in the rear of the room. Morrow protested that he should be allowed to be seated as the others, threatening to quit the class. He appealed to his fellow students. Professor Young at first refused to accede, but the matter was put to a vote and he students decided that Morrow should be seated by alphabetical sequence.

He will specialize in cooperative organization—studying its growth and development in Europe. EX-GOVERNOR CATTS HELD FOR PEONAGE Pensacola, Fla., June 2.—Rev. Sidney J. Catts, former governor of Florida, was indicted for peonage here, May 18, by a federal grand jury. The indictment charges that Catts, after obtaining pardons for two convicts, forced them to work on one of his farms in west Florida. The former governor recently was indicted by the Bradford county grand jury for accepting $700 for a pardon for a prisoner serving a life term for murder. COMMUNITY SINGING CLASS Mrs. Florentine F.

Monitor Starts Relief Fund for Tulsa Riot Victims Monitor Starts Relief Fund for Tulsa Riot Victims THE Monitor publishes no account of the Tulsa horror this week, because we can add nothing to the accounts published in the daily press. A wire to our special correspondent for exact facts could not be delivered, the Western Union reporting that the address of our correspondent was in the devastated district and could not be found. Next week we hope to be able to publish our own story of the shameful affair. In the meanwhile The Monitor desires to call the attention of our readers to the fact, that thousands of our brethren have lost their all and are destitute in that mob ridden city. They will need help. The Monitor will therefore gladly receive, acknowledge and forward to the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce or some suitable and authorized Relief Agency among our own race in Tulsa, contributions, large or small, for the relief of the victims of the riot. Here is an opportunity for us to show our sympathy for our suffering brethren in a substantial way. The Monitor starts the Tulsa Relief Fund with $10.

DIAMOND THEATRE SOLD By a deal which was consumed Friday evening, the 27th, the Diamond Theatre, located on Lake St., between 24th and 25th, was transferred to Mr. A. Melchor, the proprietor of the Franklin Theatre. Mr. and Mrs. Marten Pedersen, the former owners of the Diamond Theatre left the city Sunday morning for North Platte, Nebraska, where they have purchased a ranch of sixteen hundred acres of land. They will make their home there in the future. They will engage in agriculture and stock raising. The people of Omaha will regret very much to miss Mr. and Mrs. Pedersen from their midst. They have been the fearless champions of right and justice toward all races since they have been in Omaha. The new management under the proprietorship of Mr. A. Melchor, promises to be equally as fair to the patrons of the Diamond, and sincerely ask their continued patronage to the shows, which they will endeavor to make equally as good as those of their predecessors. BOMB-THROWERS ARRESTED Men Who Recently Damaged Property of Oscar DePriest Alleged To Be In Clutches of Law.—Are Believed to Be Agents of Higher Ups Who Would Intimidate Property Owners. CHICAGO, ILL., June 2.—The perpetrators of bomb outrages on the homes of Negro citizens are in the clutches of the law. At least this is the opinion of numbers of colored and white people who have been watching the developments of the campaign recently launched to capture the persons and their backers who have exercised a reign of bomb terror for the past several years throughout the city. Andrew Kerr, a member of a local union labor organization, was arrested in the early part of the week as a bomb suspect. Mr. Kerr, feeling that the police had the goods on him, promptly began to talk with the result that within a few hours following his confession the police had in their net the man who bombed the home of ex-Alderman Oscar DePriest as well as another number who are alleged to have been the principals in a large number of instances of labor disputes in which the bomb was used as an instrument of quite ungentle persuasion. It was not long after the arrests that rumors began to fly around that the Hyde Park Improvement Association, the organization which has been accused of being behind the numerous bombing of colored people's homes, would be hopelessly involved in the matter. Kerr admits that he, with others under arrest, were hired to do bombing. Negroes' homes were among the places bombed by the nefarious gang. It follows, many people declare, that the gang was hired to bomb the homes of colored people by parties who had the money to pay for the work. It is definitely known that the Hyde Park anti-Negro association possessed a fund acknowledged by its members of more than $200,000 with which to prosecute a campaign to crowd out and prevent the occupation of certain territory by colored families. In the DePriest bombing Kerr flatly declares that he and his companions were hired to do the job because of their expert knowledge of the game of bombing. Up to the present he has declined to tell who were the parties behind him in this particular instance. The police express the opinion that he is not through talking. That when he becomes hard pressed he will then open his mouth very wide and tell all he knows about the recent bombings. Then the fur is expected to fly with a vengeance. Ir the opinions of the people who have been alert to follow all the clues that have been unearthed within the past year are worth anything, the group of associations who have been busy pushing a vigorous anti-Negro propaganda in our city have good reason to quake-with fear. Two gangs of expert bombers are under arrest. It is now confidently expected that within a few days that the backers of these toughs and criminals will also be in the toils. In the meantime a group of colored men are adding to a defense fund for the purpose of bringing the backers to justice and thereby end the reign of bombing terror which has caused so much unrest among the respectable colored people in the great city of Chicago. FUNERAL OF MRS. CARRIE L. BELL The funeral of Mrs. Carrie L. Bell was held Monday morning at 10 o'clock from the Church of St. -Philip the Deacon with Requiem Mass celebrated by Fr. John Albert Willis. Interment was in the family lot at Mt. Hope cemetery beside the body of her husband who passed away eight years ago. The pall bearers were Messrs. C. H. Hicks Henry W. Black, Philip Letcher, Maynard L. Wilson, John H. Crawford and John Norman.

ANOTHER HEARING FOR 24th INFANTRY Soldiers Serving Prison Terms For Alleged Rioting at Houston Several Years Ago Growing Out of Resented Brutality Towards Woman by Police Officer Sparks And The Wounding of Corporal Baltimore To Be Given Another Day in Court. ATTORNEYS SUCCEED IN SECURING APPEAL Judge John Pollock Signs Order Allowing Appeal To Circuit Court of Appeals, Which Will Probably Be Argued at Denver at September Term.—Hurried Conviction of Soldiers Deeply Stirred Race Almost To Point of Rebellion.—Fight For Imprisoned Men Has Never Ceased. LEAVENWORTH, Kansas, June 2.—Efforts have been renewed here to release the men of the Twenty-fourth Infantry who are confined in the Federal Penitentiary here A petition for executive clemency was forwarded to President Harding through Secretary, of War Weeks, and T. W. Bell, one of the attorneys for the men has secured the signature of Judge John Pollock to an order allowing an appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals. This appeal will probably be heard next September before the Circuit Court of Appeals at Denver. The first attempt for freedom on the part of attorneys for the men was unsuccessful. It was in May of last year that an argument for writ of habeas corpus was made before Judge Pollock of the United States District Court. The brief in the case recited testimony, affidavits and copies of military orders, especially court-martial orders issued at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, where the men were convicted. Pollock took it under advisement, and after making a thorough review of the briefs upon his return from an extended vacation the decision was handed down last December. The writ was denied, but Judge Pollock signed the order allowing an appeal. The Houtson riot occurred August 23, 1917. It is claimed that while placing a colored woman under arrest Officer Sparks (white) slapped her in the face. Private Alonzo Edwards, attempted to protect the woman, and as a result was promptly beaten up and placed under arrest by Sparks. About 2 o'clock p. m. of the same day Corporal Charles Baltimore Company I. Twenty-fourth Infantry a member of the military police, ap proached Officer Sparks and Officer Daniels, engaging Sparks in conversation relative to the arrest of Edwards Sparks struck Baltimore over the head with a pistol. Baltimore then ran. Sparks fired three shots and purified Baltimore. When he caught up Convicted Under Special Orders It was the contention of the counsel that the order of the cout-martial was not in accordance with laws set out in the court-martial manual, that at the time of the riot the men were not doing soldier duty for the United States and that the United States was not at war. It was alleged too, that the former soldiers were convicted under special orders from headquarters of the Southern Department not regularly issued. It was claimed that many of the petitioners had no right to appeal and that there was no evidence against many of them. After the case was argued and all the briefs were submitted Judge CONDITIONS ARE CORRECTED Decided Improvements...Are Being Made In Embarrassments Placed Upon Race by Former Administration—Postmaster General Hays Rights Flagrant Justice. BY THE Associated Negro Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C., June 2—"More Business in Politics; more Politics in Business," is the new slogan of the day. Letters are pouring into heads of departments, Senators, Congressmen and editors of newspapers these days commenting on steps being taken in behalf of justice for all American citizens; and an equal number of protests are coming in demanding action against segregation and discrimination. The Associated Negro Press exposure of conditions has created a stir that is bringing direct results. Care, in the extreme, has been taken not to saddle present conditions on the Harding administration. It has been pointed out that the terrible state of affairs is a legacy of the discountened Wilson regime. However, Republicans are cautioned to "Beware the Ideas of March," for the reason that discovery has been made that some appointees are slipping in who are seared to the soul with the segregated notions of American citizenship. In a story a short time ago, it was stated that certain conditions had been discovered in one of the cabinet departments. The matter was taken up by correspondents with the members of the cabinet and it has been amazingly discovered that the member of the cabinet has never been permitted to see the communication. His secretary, who was a southerner, has kept the information from him. This secretary, when informed of certain conditions by The Associated Negro Press, said that it was a matter for the departments to handle within, and not the newspapers and outside public. He was told that there still exists in that department certain segregation conditions, and this secretary stated that he could not see why there should be any objections. While the matter is being further thrashed out, the name of the particular department is not given. Postmaster General Acts. A flagrant case is that of Miss Zelma A.

Baltimore then ran. Sparks fired three shots and pursued Baltimore. When he caught up with him he struck him several blows on the head with his pistol and arrested him. The news of that incident quickly reached the camp at the Twenty-fourth Infantry, where the report that Corporal Baltimore had been killed served to intensify the feelings of the soldiers against the city policemen. As a result of the court-martial proceedings several soldiers were executed. Nineteen or more were sentenced to life imprisonment. Others received short sentences, served at the disciplinary barracks of Fort Leavenworth. Only a few were acquitted. Sixty-three still remain in prison. she was in Philadelphia and was telegraphed. She came immediately to Washington and reported for duty. When she reported, she was told, in the same old way, that the place had been filled. Returning to the Commission, she was told that there were at least twenty-five places that had not been filled. The matter was taken up with the committee on Legislative Reef, and Mrs. M. L. Grey and a group of women. They in turn took the subject up direct with Postmaster General Hays. He stated that he had heard of certain discrimination in the department, but had not had an opportunity to go at the bottom. But, he assured the Committee, there must be no discrimination in Post Office Civil Service. He personally investigated Miss Robinson's case, and she was assigned to the place that had been filled, and is now working. THE MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE. The Alliance met Tuesday at the usual hour and quite well attended. The reports from the fields show a considerable falling off in church attendance and church finance due presumably to the onset of real summer. Observation of the attitude of most religious bodies towards devotedness in high temperatures convince one that the popular belief concerning the temperature of the abode of Lucifer is the correct one. By unanimous vote next Tuesday is to be the last meeting of the Alliance till next Fall and will be marked by a picnic given at Elmwood Park. An address will be delivered by Rev. H. R. McMullen, the new pastor of Mt. Morrah Baptist church and probably one by Rev. H. B. Parks, D. D. Bishop for the Episcopal District of the A. M. E. church. by way of announcements the Methodists and Presbyterians will combine in a gamme of baseball with the Baptists. While this picnic is principally for the Alliance, any families of the churches are welcome to bring their baskets and spread with us. Weak minds make treaties with the passions they cannot overcome, and try to purchase happiness at the expense of principle.—Longfellow.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE ARTICLE XIV. CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abridged. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. DON'T WHINE, WORK THE whine is a characteristic of the child. It is justly considered unmanly. It bespeaks weakness and fear. The synonym of the whine is the cheer, which bespeaks courage, fearlessness and determination, progress and victory. There is always a strong temptation to kick a whining cur; but one exercises caution when a mastiff or any other canine with spirit holds up its head and barks. The whine is the plant of the inferior. This is as true of men as of animals. The man who whines justly courts contempt. The race that whines merits and receives he same fate. Opposition, obstacles, discrimination, injustice, if rightly met, and by this we mean in a courageous spirit, help to make us strong. The whine is the lament of the coward. It bespeaks hopelessness and despair. Meet opposition, contumely, prejudice, injustice with head erect. Work and show yourself worthy. Don't whine, work. Let cowards and incompetents whine. Cheer and work. MAKING FOR DEMOCRACY THE World-Herald has done the city a notable service in sponsoring an annual Public School Field meet. The first was held last Friday afternoon at Ak-Sar-Ben field and was a marked success from every point of view. The thousands who witnessed the spirited contests between the young athletes could not help being impressed with the value of physical training for the youth of America. Sound bodies make sound minds. But aside from this the value to be derived from bringing the children of the city together in meetings of this kind for the development of civic consciousness is incalculable. Each school took especial pride in its selected contestants. The school spirit was strong. No question was in the mind of any one as to whether Johnnie's, or Sammie's or Mary's ancestors came from Africa, Russia, Poland, Sweden or Timubucto. He or she belongs to our school, is on our team, was the uppermost thought in the minds of all and he is winning or losing as the case may be for our school. When the fleet-footed runners swept over the field there was a feeling of pride for the one who crossed the tape first and a hearty cheer burst forth from the throats of thousands as a tribute of praise for the winner. The fact that all the children of our cosmopolitan citizenship were in the contest naturally filled Omahans with a pride, a civic pride, they could not have had, were the contests simply limited to ethnic groups. It was a contest between American boys and girls, free and open to all comers. That's Americanism into which we must grow, if America is to fulfill her God-appointed mission. Every contestant did his or her best to win for his or her school. The Monitor is particularly proud of the fact that the colored boys and girls made such splendid records for their respective schools. The field meet was a great success. Affairs of this kind are making for democracy. SOMETHING WORTH WHILE PERHAPS we are old-fashioned, but we feel that we are fast losing the marks of good breeding which characterized our fathers and mothers who did not have the same educational advantages that we have. Despite lack of book learning there was the refinement that always comes from the cultivation of good manners. Are we of today as genteel in our conduct and as considerate of others as we should be? Do we place as much value upon good manners as we should? It will do no harm for us all seriously to ask ourselves this question and answer it honestly. This is really something worth while. STANDING UPON OUR RECORD FOR nearly six years now. The Monitor has been giving the people of this community excellent service. INSTITUTION OF THE STATES. Not to Be Abridged. Naturalized in the United States, on thereof, are citizens of the state wherein they reside. No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person final protection of the laws. Our policy has been absolutely fair. We are proud of the rank we have obtained and hold in the field of race journalism. Despite the enormous cost of publication incident to war and post-war conditions, which forced many newspapers to suspend, The Monitor was issued regularly, at a great personal loss, because we believe it our duty to keep faith with our people. We stand upon our record of service and confidently count upon our people with whom we have kept faith to keep faith with us now. NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS THE city commissioners have promised to improve those sections of the city in which our people largely live and which have been shamefully neglected. We expect to see this done. In this connection we would also respectfully call attention to the poorly lighted condition of North Twenty-fourth street, which is a business street. The merchants and business men of that street are entitled to better lights. WHAT EDITORS SAY Not Commission—But Action Congressman L. C. Dyer, in a speech recently at New York, is quoted as saying: "There is no need to study lynching, but there is the necessity to punish to the limit the officials and counties responsible for it." This is our sentiment as expressed by Congressman Dyer. There is no use of begging the question or pussy-footing about the matter, for there is only one way to settle the question and that is by striking it squarely in the face, with the stern hand of the law. As we have afroesaid, there is nothing to study. The record shows that there are lynchings nearly every day. Begging and pleading with mobs only makes them more determined and more cruel in their deeds. A commission means only a delay in doing the things that must ultimately be done. So why a commission at all? This is no time for Congress to dilly-dally" around when men and women are being ruthlessly murdered and burned at the stake in defiance of law and order. This proposed commission is a "bait" which was thrown out to catch the "suckers" of the Race, who call themselves leaders. Those who are willing to postpone action on Mr. Dyer's lynching bill with the hope of being named on the commission should be disappointed. Action is what is now needed. Not commission.

B. Rhodes, Trimble's tailor shop, the Booth Cafe, Waddle's "mixed" torsional parlor and ended up with Benson's grocery-meat-express and home bakery. We shall begin our trip this week from this point and continue westward where we come to Dr. Orpha M. Davis' Chiropractic establishment, 2631 Lake St. Dr. Davis has lately opened at this address. The parlor is fitted up for all chiropractic work as well as manicuring and facial massaging. Going west across 27th St. on the south side of the street we come to the general second-hand supply establishment of Mr. John Wall. This business is in the cement block building on the southwest corner. Mr. Wall is doing a steady business here. He is one of Omaha's oldest colored residents, having lived here 33 years. He came from Henry county, Iowa. Mr. Wall remembers very distinctly when Omaha had only one street car line. He also remembers when north Omaha was a veritable expanse of woodland. He has been in the business 17 years. Going just west of this business on the same side, we come to the famous hair culturer and scalp parlor of Mme. Amos Madison. 2711 Lake (Houston Informer) Quite a number of our colored institutions of learning will award diplomas and degrees to hundreds, perhaps, thousands of colored youths during this and next month; while at the same time several white schools in the North, East and West will have quite a few colored graduates. These graduations are both commendable and encouraging, at the same time bespeaking progress and enlightenment. They have been going through a grind for years preparatory to their life work and yet the race has made practically no places for them. It is pure and rank extravagance to lavish money upon our children's education and then refuse to spend on invest one red penny in enterprises and institutions to afford these same intelligent and trained young people a chance to make good and enrich society. Unless, as a race, we are going to make places for our own children, it is foolish and nonsensical to continue to educate them. NEW MANAGEMENT FOR THE DI THE DIAMOND The Diamond Theatre opened under new management. Friday, the transfer have taken place between Mr. Marten Pedersen and Mr. A. Melcher and sons, present owners of the Franklin. The Monitor staff waited on the new management to ascertain their policy with regard to our group—they were very candid in stating that their policy would be that of absolute fairness toward our group. That they will not stop at this, but would see to it that the very best shows to be obtained would be shown. THE MONITOR This is one of the best equipped places of this kind in the city. All work is guaranteed. Mme. Madison started out by practicing on her own head. She relates that she at that time had practically no hair at all but after several trials in this way she produced a full head of hair. She uses the Ninety Day System. Just across the street from Mme. Madison is the Great Western Shoe repairing and tailoring establishment. C. S. Taylor is proprietor of the tailoring division while Hicks and Oglesby are joint proprietors of the shoe division. These men are doing a thriving business and are ready to serve you when you need service. We come to the end of our journey on Lake street among race enterprises where we visit the Eagle Cafe, 2706 Lake, of which Chas. Hemphill is proprietor. This was known until recently as Brown's Place having been operated by Mr. Luther Brown now doing business at the Columbia Garden. Mr. and Mrs. Hemphill are doing a good business in this beautiful cafe. They have added many new features to the business, one of which being a barbeque department. They plan to serve the public with all the necessities for the table. The place is a model for sanitation and beauty. Both he and his wife are constantly at your service. They have real home cooking. Having completed our trip through Lake street enterprises we shall continue our next trip among the miscellaneous, or those which are not located on the streets on which we have traveled. They have already secured the exclusive use of the following shows: Charlie Chaplin in "The Kid," the "County Fair," Westly (Freckles) Berry, Douglas Fairbanks in his best picture the "Markzoro', Mary Pickford in "Through the Back Door," and many others of the screen's Greatest Productions. On Wednesday and Thursday of next week they will show an all-star Colored Picture, "The Green Eyed Monster." This show has made tremendous hits wherever it has been played. It promises to be the season's greatest screen production. SIOUX CITY, IOWA, NEWS. Mme. M. J.

RECORDS RECORDS RECORDS We Have Just Received a New Supply of JUNE SPECIAL DANCE MUSIC S. PAUL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Cor. 26 and Seward Streets. Rev. Russel Taylor, Pastor. Isn't it queer that our religious thermometers are so sensitive? The works of darkness flourish summer and winter, but unusually hot or unusually cold weather is marked at once by a slackening up in our work for the Master. Should such be the case? Let us show ourselves one hundred per cent Christians. The services in charge of our Christian Endeavor Society last Sunday evening was par excellence. The papers and readings were very instructive, giving a fine survey of the needs of mission work in the Dark Continent and also portraying the great work the Church is doing to the light of the Gospel to those who are in darkness concerning Him who is the Light of the world. The Christian Endeavor topic next Sunday evening is, "The Kingdom Come In the World." This is the Monthly Consecration Meeting and will be led by the pastor. Let every Endeavorer be ready to respond to his name when the roll is called. The Ladies Aid has completed its plans for the banquet to be held at the Y. W. C. A. Thursday evening, June 30. They are anticipating a pleasant and profitable time. The sermon topics Sunday are: Morning, Mary's Better Part, or Jesus Cure for Fretfulness. Evening: "If the Foundations be Destroyed." Mr. James Bradley of Seward, Nebr., an old time friend and classmate of Rev. Russell Taylor, being in the city Sunday, worshipped with us. Messrs. Bradley and Taylor were the only Colored members of the Presbyterian Church at Seward from which church Mr. Taylor was called to the Gospel ministry, he being at that time in his eighteenth year and having just graduated from the Seward High Schoolo.
