REED-JONES WEDDING GREAT SOCIAL EVENT OF PRESENT SEASON Irene, Cultured and Popular Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Jones, is Married at Hillcrest. Many Costly Presents From every point of view the marriage of Irene, second daughter and third child of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Jones, to Mr. William B. Reed of Denver, Colo., which took place at Hillcrest, the palatial Jones' residence, last Monday night, was one of the most beautiful and elaborate social functions ever held in the city. In the first place, nature seemed to smile upon the event. It was an ideal mild moonlight night. This made it possible for the nearly four hundred guests who attended the ceremony to be seated in the spacious illuminated lawn in front of the wide colonial porch, where under a canopy of palms, terns and flowers the marriage lines were read by the Rev. William J. Botts, pastor of Zion Baptist church. Shortly after 8 o'clock Miss Cuma Watson sang "At Dawning". As the song died away the strains of the THE WEDDING OF MARY AND JOHN 1920 A Mrs. Wm. B. Reed, nee Irene Jones. Lohengrin wedding march, played by the bride's brother, Alfred, and Clarence Desdunes, violinist, sounded in the air and the flower girls, the bride's youngest sister, Florence, and Margaret Murray, daintily and tastefully gowned in pink crepe de chine, descended the broad stairway and took their places. The groom and his best man, Emerald Blackwell of Denver, came next. Then followed the bride's sisters Ruth and Teressa, the bridesmaids, handsomely gowned in pale green satin with Spanish lace; Mrs. WOMAN GIVES $1000 FOR AFRICAN WORK; WITHHOLDS NAME Bishop Brooks Presented With Check For His Missionary Work By Woman Who Desires Identity to Remain Secret. MRS. MALONE IS SUSPECTED St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 6.—Bishop W. Sampson Brooks of Baltimore was given the handsome sum of $1640 at St. Paul's A. M. E. church following ```markdown ``` John Vinegar, her aunt, matron of honor, gowned in a handsome creation of white crepe de chine and Spanish lace; the bride's sister, Ethel, maid of honor, in pink satin and Spanish lace; the little ring bearer, Irene Lillian Harrold. The bride, who made a beautiful picture in white crepe de chine and Spanish lace, her veil held in place by real orange blossoms, follofed on the arm of her father. The minister pronounced the words that made the happy couple man and wife. Several pictures of the bridal party were taken after the ceremony. The young people were showered with congratulations and best wishes of their friends. Refreshments were served from a long table conveniently placed on the lawn and the proverbial Jones' hospitality reigned supreme. "The gifts were many, elaborate and costly, the 1930 list being too long to publish here. The bride is one of a large family of cultured, refined and industrious children, who deservedly hold a warm place in the hearts of their Omaha friends. She is a graduate of the Omaha Central High school of which her mother is also a graduate, as are also several sisters. Mr. Reed is an auto mechanic. Mr. and Mrs. Reed left on the midnight train for Denver, Colo., where they will reside. The well wishes of scores of friends follow them. aging replies. One amount, $1,000, was given by a woman member of the congregation who slipped the check in his hands and refused to disclose her name. The condition attached to the check was that the name and identity of the donor be kept a secret. Accordingly, Bishop Brooks refused to divulge to anyone her name. Many knowing the friendship of the Malones and Bishop Brooks suspected that Mrs. Malone was the donor of the check. Bishop Brooks formerly pastored St. Paul church here. He announced that the total contributions to his work had reached $25,000. Leaving St. Louis Bishop Brooks rested two days in Execsior Springs and preached the following Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

LIBERIAN LOAN AND DYER BILL FAIL OF PASSAGE THIS TERM LIBERIAN LOAN AND DYER BILL FAIL OF PASSAGE THIS TERM Adjournment of Congress Discards Vitally Important Issue in Which Race Is Very Deeply Concerned. SENATE REFUSED TO VOTE Senator Shortridge Made Viyorous Fight for Action on Anti-Lynching Bill Before Adjournment But Without Avail. Washington, D. C., Oct. 6.—Both the Liberian Loan Bill authorizing the secretary of the treasury to extend credit of $5,000,000 to Liberia, West Africa, and the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill failed to pass the senate before it adjourned last Friday. Democratic senators engaged in a filibuster on both bills and republicans made no great effort to push them through this session. Senator Borah practically killed the Liberian Loan Bill when he succeeded in getting the senate to add to it an amendment appropriating funds for reclaiming desert lands in the western part of the United States. From then on, no effort was made to push the bill. Shortridge Makes Speech. Senator Sam Shortridge (Rep., Cal.) made a game effort to bring up the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill last Thursday when he secured the floor after a parliamentary fight with Senator Hefflin (Ala., Dem.). Points of order, moves to adjourn and points of no quorum present prevented Senator Shortridge from speaking for nearly two hours. In his speech Senator Shortridge appealed to the South to drop its prejudices and permit a full discussion on the question of mob violence and how the Dyer Bill will put an end to it. After Senator Shortridge had been speaking for some time, both republican and democratic senators left their seats and moved out in the hall. There was delay while the point of no quorum was made. Senator France (Rep., Md.) was one of those who stuck to his seat and made an effort to have the bill passed. Senator Lodge (Rep. Mass.) used his influence half-heartedly and Senator Capper (Rep., Kans.), another house leader, interrupted Mr. Shortridge and said he would like to have an executive session if the California senator would cease speaking. Here was the plainest evidence that the republican leaders have no intention of passing the bill. A motion by Senator Underwood (Dem., Ala.) to adjourn was repeated by a vote of 22 to 10. Sixty-four senators refused to vote. Unable to get the senate to vote, even to take the bill up, Senator Shorttridge took his seat and Senator Curtis moved that the Senate be adjourned. When the Senate met Friday, the filibuster continued. The senators talked about every subject under the sun but no mention was made of the Liberian Loan Bill or the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Miss Mae C. Hawes of New York City, financial secretary of the Y. W. C. A., is in Omaha for a short time and is temporarily in charge of the North End branch, until the secretary assigned here, as successor to Miss Watkins, arrives.

FRENCH GIVE LIE TO WILD REPORTS OF TURK ATROCITIES Official Statement from French For ign Office Refutes Anglo-Greek Propaganda of Lies Against Turkish People. REPORT GREEK ATROCITIES Constantine's Army Burned and Pil-aged Everywhere It Went—Murdered Thousands of Turkish Women and Children. New York, Oct. 6.—(Crusader Service)—The French foreign office in a official statement received here today confirmed the news from Constantinople that General Pelle, the French high commissioner in that city, and Admiral Duesnil, the commander of the French forces in Near East waters, had satisfied themselves that there was nothing to justify the holding of the Turks responsible for the burning of Smyrna. Admiral Duesnil also investigated the charges that the Turks poured kerosene on the houses and streets, and found them false. Both General Pelle and the admiral found that there had been much excitement in the Greek and Armenian quarters of Smyrna and that a number of Turk officers and men had been wounded by bombs and hand grenades thrown from the houses. This substantiates the charge that the Greek army distributed munitions and arms among the population before embarking. The two French commanders found that fires were stated in widely separated spots in foreign quarters of the city. They learned that French sailors, who were fighting the flames, were fired upon. Turkish authorities tried to put out the fires, but the wind fanned the flames. "The French government found nothing showing Turkish responsibility for the fire," said the statement, "on the other hand, has in its possession most damaging testimony of misdeeds of which the Greek army is guilty and perpetrated during the retreat." The statement declared that Eski-Shehr was not molested during the Turk retreat, but it was burned when the Greeks were routed. Brusa, which was destined for fire, was saved only by the French consul and two Italian officers, who induced General Somilas, the Greek commander, to countermand an order for the burning of the town, it was stated. The foreign office said that most of the neighboring villages were burned and pillaged by Greek soldiers. SAYS GREEKS BURNED AND PILLAGED TURKEY Viscount St. Davids Asserts They "Deserved All They Got and More" —Gives Lie to His Country's Anti-Turk Propaganda. London, Oct. 6.—(Crusader Service.)—Strong criticism of the behavior of Greek troops in the Near East was made by Viscount St. Davids, who presided recently at the semi-annual meeting of the board of directors of the Ottoman railway, which operates from Smyrna to Aidan, in Asia Minor. The viscount said: "The Greeks in their retreat burned every village they saw. They robbed individual Turks, and when these resisted they killed them. They did all this near the front and without military necessity. They did it out of sheer maliciousness. Our reports are that it was done systematically by regular troops under orders. It was done by the mallice of men who knew they could not hold the country and meant to make it worthless for anyone else." "The Greeks deserved all they got and more," he said. "King Constantine's servants are very bad fighters, but they a re first class at robbery, arson and murder." The speaker said that the Greeks were now quiet, but that the Armenians had resorted to bomb throwing and in many ways prompted the chances of massacre. TO N. Y. COLORED POPULATION WHITE PLAGUE A MENACE New York, N. Y., Oct. 6.—(Crusader Service.)—That three times as many colored persons as white die of tuberculosis and that the white plague is a steadily increasing menace to New York's 170,000 colored citizens were startling declarators made by Dr. James A. Miller, president of the New York Tuberculosis association at Harlem's opening health week meeting held in the West 135th street branch of the public library. To systematize the work of stamping out the disease the Harlem Health Information bureau was organized last month. Whole Number 378 PIONEER IN BUSINESS Mrs. H. J.

Mrs. Crawford is a pioneer in her line and is working up a large and well satisfied patronage.

The First Man of His Race to Be Elevated by the Episcopal Church For Work in United States Coming to City. SPEAK$ AT THE CATHEDRAL The Rt. Rev. Edward Thomas Demby, D. D., Bishop Suffragan of Arkansas and the Province of the Southwest, the first man of his race to be elevated to the episcopate by the Episcopal church for work in the United States, will be an Omaha visitor next week. Upon invitation of Bishop Shayler and the Rev. John Albert Williams to visit Omaha on his return from the General Convention, Bishop Demby gave up one of his side trips in Southern California to accept the invitation. He and Mrs. Demby will arrive the latter part of next week and will be guests at St. Philip's rectory. Bishop Demby will preach at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon Sunday morning, October 15th, and speak at Trinity Cathedral, Eighteenth and Capitol avenue in the evening. A cordial invitation is extended by Bishop Shayler and Dean McGin- Rt. Rev. E. Thomas Demby, D. D. ley of Trinity Cathedral to the public to attend the cathedral service at the time designated. It is believed that many of our people of all denominations will be anxious to hear Bishop Demby and will avail themselves of this opportunity by attending not only St. Philip's Sunday morning, October 15th, but also Trinity Cathedral in the evening. The Episcopal church has had five bishops of the Negro race in its history. The first was the Rt. Rev. James Theodore Holly, D. D., bishop of Haiti, who died in 1911. The second was the Rt. Rev. Samuel D. Ferguson, bishop of Cape Palmas, Liberia, Africa, who died 1916. Both of these labored outside of the United States. The third was the Rt. Rev. Edward Demby, D. D., consecrated in St. Louis, Mo., September 29, 1918; the fourth, the Rt. Rev. Henry Beard Delaney, D. D., consecrated as suffragan bishop of North Carolina, in November 1918; and the Rt. Rev. Theophilas Momulu Gardiner, consecrated as bishop suffragan of Liberia last year. The three latter named are members of the House of Bishops of the Episcopal church which has just closed its sessions at Portland, Ore. Bishop Demby will be the second colored bishop of the Episcopal church to visit Omaha, the first being Bishop Ferguson who was Bishop's Worthington's guest in October 1894, when he preached at St. Philip's and Trinity cathedral and addressed the diocesan meeting of the Woman's auxiliary.

NEGRO MEN OF AFFAIRS WHOM I HAVE KNOWN NEGRO MEN OF AFFAIRS WHOM I HAVE KNOWN DR. OWEN M. WALLER A Successful Physician and One of Brooklyn's Foremost Neurists In 1910 Alma Webster was ill and her father, D. Macon Webster, called in Dr. Waller. Needless to say that Alma speedily recovered. Dr. Waller is the most skillful neurist in Brook- lyn. It may be worth while, and this is suggested to the editor of The Monitor, to trace the antecedents of Dr. Waller (and from what the writer gathered, Rev. Mr. Williams is well qualified to write about it). But we are concerned with the men as I knew them, and therefore will not delve into past history—more than to prove that I am not over one hundred years old. Dr. Waller is a man of giant proportions, physical as well as mental. In Grecian times he would have been selected as a model for a demi-god, and those who have seen the sculpture of Phaedrus have a vivid picture of Waller. Weighing over 200 pounds, Dr. Waller placed beside Mr. Webster would entirely "cover" the latter. They were the same height but oh, what a difference! Webster was as sharp as a razor edge, physically and mentally; Dr. Waller is as an oak, sturdy and defying the elements. Webster should have been the physician and Waller should have been the lawyer. The tongue of Webster was so sharp that every word he spoke required a surgeon to sew up the incision. The hand of Waller was so COLORADO Lump Coal Smokeless - Sootless I L L I N O I S L U M P A Good Quality Genuine Pennsylvania Hard Coal Delivered $22.00 Per Ton Rosewood Grate Arkansas Hard Coal Delivered $19.00 Per Ton Consumers Coal & "DEALERS IN GOOD General Office, 13th and Nicholas St The Latest Rec General Office, 13th and Nicholas Sts.—Phone Doug. 0530 The Latest Record Hits SPECIAL PRICE, 55c Each Down Hearted Blues I'm Gonna Have You—Ain't Going to Alone Daddy Blues Don't Pan Me Send Back My Honeyman I've Got to Cool My Puppies Now I'll Be Good But I'll Be Lonesome The Jazz Me Blues We have just received these and me "Blues" records by the world's greatest R buying in great quantities, we are able to them to you at, each Down Hearted Blues.....Alberta Hunter I'm Gonna Have You—Ain't Going to Leave You Alone.....Alberta Hunter Daddy Blues.....Alberta Hunter Don't Pan Me.....Alberta Hunter Send Back My Honeyman.....Lucille Hegamin I've Got to Cool My Puppies Now.....Lucille Hegamin I'll Be Good But I'll Be Lonesome.....Lucille Hegamin The Jazz Me Blues.....Lucille Hegamin We have just received these and many other good "Blues" records by the world's greatest Race Artists.

LEWIS MUSIC SHOP Genuine Pennsylvania Hard Coal Delivered $22.00 Per Ton pudgy, his smile so fascinating, his eyes beaming such sunny happiness, that his entrance into a sick room immediately would remove the cloud of disease. But nature plays pranks with all of us, and Waller the Doctor is also a good politician and he maintains the reputation of doctors by charging fees as high as the patient could stand. I may add however that his fees are earned; the results entitle Waller to all he gets. His practice nets him more than $15,000 a year, and his income is over $25,000 a year, the result of shrewd investments. No, not in the "bones" or "ponies," but in real estate and bonds of the government. The home life of Dr. Walter is ideal. Surrounded by a family that honors him as he honors them, harmony prevails in every nook and corner. The children attend Sunday School and lead in the singing. I forgot to mention before that I met Dr. Waller in the Brooklyn Episcopalian Church, whither I had gone to meet the Pastor on some humanitarian mission. Dr. Waller and his wife were regular Church attendants and liberal contributors. Mrs. Waller was chairman of the Sisterhood and other committees dealing with the social activities of the Church. Three things stand out about Waller: Earnestness, honorableness, and thriftiness. He often told me, "Goody, you would be a millionaire if you could save." This is the only time I did not agree with him. Man must work and the harder he works the more he appreciates the value of his earnings. Dr. Waller inherited the quality of working from his father, Rev. Waller (I let the editor's secret out of the bag) and so hard did Rev. Waller work that he always took the job that Rev. Williams (the editor of The Monitor) refused because, perhaps, the work was too hard! How small this world of ours is after all. Here I am in Omaha a stranger, and am fortunate enough to meet Rev. Williams. After a few minutes discussion I mention the name of Dr. Waller and in another few moments Rev. Williams tells me all about the Waller family. In my next article I shall describe a few of the cases handled by Waller and their statement should help many who doctor themselves. On the subject of kinks in the hair, on the use of gin as a stimulant, of snuff as a cure for alcoholic stomach, of closed windows to keep the devil out at night, the recital of the cases handled by Dr. Waller will help many readers of The Monitor.

OMAHA OCTOBER 14th See These Wonderful Premiums at LIBERTY DRUG CO., 1904 North 24th Street V With "Follies of the Day" at the Popular Gayety Twice Dally all Next Week Final Performance Friday Night. BOB TOLLIVER WITH "BOZO" Talented Colored Performer Shines in "Follies of the Day". Here's what the Syracuse (N. Y.) Journal had to say about "Bozo, the Silent" and Barney Gerard's "Follies of the Day", the big attraction at the popular Gayety for six days only, starting at 3:00 Sunday afternoon, October 8th: Silence is indeed golden, you learn again from Tommy "Bozo" Snyder, who is with us for three days in "Follies of the Day", playing a return engagement at the Bastable. Golden is not alone to him who is silent, but to him who employs the silent one as well. Not only is Snyder the highest salaried comedian in his field, but the "Follies of the Day" is the best money-maker that revolves with the Columbia wheel. "What Does the Public Want " is the title that Barney Gerard has given his Klondike. The answer is, "Follies of the Day" and productions like it. In spite of adverse weather conditions, Syracuse theatregoers packed the Bastable Wednesday night at the season's permier. And, in spite of two interruptions, due to crippled power service, they remained to the finish, although that meant a midnight final curtain. If the Columbia producers would take a tip from Gerard's book, there would be no starvation seasons in bursque—and Syracuse would have continued on the wheel this season. The present edition of the "Follies" embraces much of the material that marked the production last year, but Gerard has materially strengthened his company by changes in the supporting cast. This is especially true as regards the women principals. Gertrude "Babe" Lavetta, an old friend, is a better ingenuue-soubret (mostly soubret) than was Gertrude Hayes, Jr. Babe Almond, also a new soubret, is shapey, speedy and talented. The two girls are very much in evidence throughout the show, Miss Lavetta particularly. A veteran of some seasons, Miss Lavetta's work gains in polish each year. Her songs are sure-fire, her stepping graceful and her comedy bits well handled. Then, in the male contingent, as new comers there are the California Trio, three clean cut boys with voices that always please. Sam Green—who as yet hasn't entered the ministry—remains as Bozo's foil. J. B. Williams, Harry Watson, Harley Mayne and Bob Tolliver—it was Bob who did the stepping while the lights went out—are among the other principals. And oh boy, what a chorus! Barney's eye has not lost its cunning. Snyder, who relies upon pantomime and facial expression for his laughs, is burlesque's premier comedian; he more than anyone else has raised burlesque comedy to the level of an art. More power to him as the seasons roll on. It's not necessary to elaborate upon the dress of this Gerard production; the mere statement that Barney bought the Ziefield equipment intact is sufficient. There will be a matinee daily at 2:15. Bob Tolliver at every performance, day and night. The engagement will close on Friday night.
