"ENTIRELY COLORED STAFF"----HARDING THE DUBOIS PLAYERS GIVE "THE PRICE" TO BIG AUDIENCE Local Dramatic Club Scores Great Thespian Triumph in Latest Production of Famous Play THE CAST WELL BALANCED Leading Roles Ably Impersonate And Minor Ones Not Overlooked, Artistic and Financial Success The Dubois Players scored a great Thespian triumph in its splendid presentation last Thursday night at the Brandeis theatre of the famous drama "The Price," or to call it by its real name, "The Ironmaster," by Prichard, a play that was included in the repoioire of the late Sarah Bernhardt. It was therefore an ambitious undertaking for amateurs to attempt such a heavy production. That it was well staged, intelligently interpreted and artistically presented is generally conceded. The production was most creditable from every point of view, and showed the result of patient, diligent, protracted and painstaking work. Individually and collectively it was a well-finished piece of acting. Stage settings and effects, and the costuming were all in harmony with the demands of the drama. No detail was overlooked. The characters were well chosen, the role assumed being particularly adapted to the one impersonating it. The cast was so well balanced and each one did so well that it is difficult to single out for special commendation any individual character, save that some had more difficult roles than others. For a finished production, however, a minor part must be as well presented as a major one, and this was done by the Dubois Players. There was a little crudeness here and, there, no outstanding blemishes. The two most exacting roles were those of Philippe Derblay, the Iron Master, and Claire re Beaulieu, the proud daughter of Marquee de Beau proud daughter of Marquee de Beaulieu, who married him through pique, but subsequently learned to love him. These were highly emotional roles which could easily be overdone. Andrew T. Reed's impersonation of Derblay was admirable; and Ada Hill Smith as the haughty Claire, played the part exceptionally well. Mrs. Fannie Watts-Russell as the dignified Marquee de Beaulieu looked and acted the role to perfection. C. Eugene impersonation of Monsieur Bachelin, the lawyer and trusted friend of the Beaulieu and Derbay was excellent. Mrs. Eddie Robinson admirably interpreted with becoming poise the character of Sophie, niece of the marquee and wife of Baron de Pefont, scientist, which was well taken by Dr. John Andrew Singleton. The role of Monsieur Moulinet, newly rich, anl of Athenais, his socially ambitious daughter, were made to order for John A. Smith and Mrs. Ray Middleton Jones, so well were they presented, altho the impersonation of Athenais was a little too blaze. As Susanne, the sixteen year old sister of Derbay, Ruth Killingsworth looked and acted the part, and O. C. Winn, as Octave de Beaulieu, Susanne's youthful lover, was a decided success, with the one fault that he spoke too rapidly. John Otis Wood made a good Gaston, Duc de Blingy, an adventurer, but he was too blustering in the first scene, a fault which he overcame in his subsequent acts. James C. Jewell made a good footman. Brigite and Captain de Pontac, were minor parts well taken by Cecelia Wilson-Jewell and Edward Turner. At the close of the third act Mrs. Jewell, under whose management the play was given, graciously thanked the audience for their patronage and all others for appreciated co-operation and gave information concerning the Old Folks' Home and the aims and ideals of the Dubols Players. An appreciative audience of more than 800 witnessed the play. The players were coached by Andrew T. Reed. The management and members of the Dubois Dramatic Club are to be congratulated upon their excellent work and artistic production and the people of Omaha should feel highly gratified at this manifestation of histrionic ability upon the part of our group in the city. The play was a financial as well as an artistic success. The total receipts*were $1,100.50; total expenses $420.30, making the net receipts $680.20.

ELAINE FARMERS' TRIAL POSTPONED BY PROSECUTION Arkansas Men, Twice Convicted and Sentenced to Death, May Yet Win Their Freedom. Marianna, Ark., May 11.—Trial of six of the farmers who were twice convicted and sentenced to death for their part in the Elaine riots in October, 1919, was continued in Circuit Court here last Saturday until the October term on request of the prosecuting attorney who announced that witnesses on whose testimony the defendants were formerly convicted, had subsequently repudiated their statements, and that unless the state could find other witnesses to present evidence of a damaging character he would recommend the dismissal of the cases in October. Defense attorneys announced that early next week they would institute habeas corpus proceedings in behalf of their clients before the State Supreme Court. Six other defendants are confined in Little Rock awaiting trial in the United States Court, following a prior verdict of guilty and sentence to death, which was later reversed and remanded by the United States Supreme Court. Five white persons and an undetermined number of colored people were killed in the Elaine riots in Phillips county. The case of the six who were to go on trial here was transferred to this (Lee) county on change of venue. SPRAGUE TIRE COMPANY INCREASES SALES FORCE Two additions to the sales organization of the Sprague Tire & Rubber Company were made this week, according to an announcement given out by E. H. Sprague. W. Earl Thurber, a tire man of many years experience, joins the organization as service station merchandising manager and J. E. Wenzel will have complete charge of the merchandising of Sprague free tires stations in the United States and will maintain his headquarters at the factory in Omaha. He recently came to Omaha from Chicago where he has been connected with one of the largest tire companies in the business. Wenzel has an organization already perfected in Denver and several cars of Sprague tires have already been distributed.

From Nebraska to Arkansas and Back Experiences and Observations of the Editor on Trip to Southland Where He Saw Many Things of Interest SOME PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS There was some disappointment expressed that this series was interrupted last week. It is gratifying to learn that readers find such pleasure in the perusal of these informal and sketchy articles. My fear was that they might become wearisome; but it seems not, judging from the many favorable comments received. I have enough notes to continue the series to an almost indefinite length, but I assure you I have no intention of permitting them to run on like Tennyson's brook. Do you recall the lines to which I refer? They are these: This literary brook will dry up, perhaps, when summer heat comes on. Little Rock has many interesting public institutions devoted to the interests of our group. There are churches of all denominations, from "Holy Rollers" to "High Fliers"; schools, public and denominational; hospitals, private, semi-public and fraternal; a Y. W. C. A., and doubtless others of which I did not learn. Many of the church buildings are attractive, well-kept edifices, filling one with pride to see them as indices of a vigorous religious life and substantial prosperity. Some, however, of these buildings, have a shabby, run-down-at-the-heel appearance. This is true of some of the larger buildings which from their size would indicate that they have large congregations who ought to have the ability to keep up their property. An alert, progressive congregation can always be told by the appearance of their church property. Whenever I see of the North Carolina Pine Association, Inc., of Norfolk, Va., objecting to Dr. Scott's statement that the colored people of the South are in position to supply any labor shortage in the large industrial plants of the United States. To Mr. Gibbs' letter Dr. Scott has sent the following reply: ```markdown ``` errisity, whose telegram to Gary, of the United States Steel Trust Cortion laws and advocating employment ide comment. aska to Arkanseservations of the Editor He Saw Many Things of tumble-down, ram-shackle, poorly cared for church property, I size up the members as ram-shackle, slovenly people, no matter how much religious "fervor" or "rousements," they may manifest. My space does not permit particularization of the various churches which I saw, but suffice it to say that many of them were a great credit and would indicate vigorous religious life and becoming pride, progress and self-respect. The Gibbs High School is a substantially built brick building; but its inadequately to take care of the children is indicated by many small frame buildings scattered around the grounds as annexes. In the location of this school I noted the disposition so prevalent in the South of make-shifts, anything will do for the Negro citizens. This, as I see it, is the logical outcome of the prevalent dual system, founded upon the belief that the Negr is innately an inferior race and the determination never to let him improve this status. The school building is located in a hollow, or gully, instead of upon higher ground. When a site was being chosen it could have been chosen more advantageously, topographically, and it would have been if it had been a school for white children. The approach to the school is by no means attractive. There is no comparison between the beauty and attractiveness of the High school for white children and this for colored children. I was advised that the principal of Gibbs high, a Mr. Gilliam whom I did not have the pleasure of meeting, is an excellent man and a successful educator, with an efficient corps of teachers. Good enough. But --- Washington, D. C., April 24. Mr. John M. Gibbs, Secretary-Treasurer, The North Carolina Pine Association, 1203 Natl. Bank of Commerce Bidg., Norfolk, Va., Dear Sir: I write to acknowledge receipt of your letter of April 19th. I fear from the tenor of your communication that you must not have read my complete telegram but only a portion thereof. I therefore send you herewith a copy of said telegram that you may more fully inform yourself of just what I said to Judge Gary. Evidently you rest under the misapprehension that I am, as you state, "unfamiliar with Southern conditions." You probably are not informed of the fact that I am a Southernor who has spent most of his life in the South, having been born in Texas, where for a number of years I conducted a newspaper, and of my having served for 22 years in the heart of the Black Belt of the South as Secretary to the late Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. I also served for twenty-one years as secretary of the National Negro Business League. I am therefore venturing to suggest that I have a fairly accurate knowledge of Southern conditions. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace commissioned me to make a study of the whole program of Negro migration during the war. The conclusions of the study are set forth in a publication widely distributed by that organization. I would venture to call the conclusions of that study to your attention. Describes Southern Situation I approached the study of Negro migration in no spirit of hostility. I did approach it, however, with the very definite feeling that the South owes to the colored people a squander deal than it has been given them. The horrible stories of peonage, the lynching crime, the lack of educational opportunities, the residential and labor segregation laws, the Jim Crow car system, the destruction of political privileges and the curtailment of civil rights, are all matters which stimulate the migration of colored people from the South. I now come to that part of your letter in which you attempt to show that there is a shortage of labor in the South. I am assuming that you are referring to Negro labor. If there is such a shortage in the South, the reasons therefore must be apparent to you. Even when a 50 per cent increase in wages has just been made for Negro labor, I wonder if one circumstanced like yourself, is not acquainted with the fact that even when the Negroes of Little Rock pay enough in taxes to see to it that they have better school property than the school board is giving them. In striking contrast with the "bottom land" site of the Gibbs High school is the "high-land" site of Philander Smith College, the excellent educational institution founded by the Methodist Episcopal church in 1877. This college is well located, has good buildings, attractive and well-appointed grounds. Dr. J. M. Cox is the president. It has a faculty of twenty and an enrollment of about 500 students. The same can be said of the site and buildings of Arkansas Baptist College, of which Dr. Joseph A. Booker is president. This school has a faculty and student body of about the same size as Philander Smith. If these denominational schools can be located on high, sanitary and sightly ground, there is no reason why the public schools should be located on poorly drained low ground. Here is a hint to the progressive citizens of Little Rock to get busy with their board of education and get Gibbs out of that hole. The eager, happy faces of the students in these schools and colleges show that the work of education is going steadily on. Illiteracy is being rapidly reduced. Self-rerspect is being cultivated. Initiative, independence, self-reliance are emerging. Intelligence, honesty, industry, uprightness bring their reward. Three (or is it four?) hospitals are operated by our group in Little Rock. Let me see. There is the Bush Memorial, that's one; the Fraternal, that's two, and the Royal Circle of Friends (Continued on Page Four) Whole Number 409 this increase has been made it bears no adequate relation to the amount offered in other sections of the country. I must not fail to emphasize the fact that the Negro is no longer willing to accept the intolerable conditions to which I have referred and a lowered wage at one and the same time. It is a matter of common knowledge that the vagrancy laws of the South are used to intimidate Negro laborers and to force them to work under intolerable conditions. It is equally a matter of common knowledge that as a result of his refusal to work under the oppressed economic conditions of the South he has even suffered himself to be placed in prison. If unwillingness to work under these dehumanizing and restrictive conditions is to be interpreted as a shortage of labor, then, if there is not a shortage of labor in the lumber plants and other industries of the South, there should be such a shortage. Colored People Should Leave Those Sections Where They are Oppressed I very definitely feel that it is the duty of colored people wherever opportunity offers to leave those sections where lynching and peonage are practiced upon them with impunity. I know quite definitely the difficulties the black men are likely to meet in some of the Northern sections, but these difficulties are inconsequential when compared with the privileges of a free and untrammelled citizenship. I am sorry that you are disposed to consider the ambition on the part of colored people to seek their fullest development and the enjoyment of the fullest American citizenship as being unworthy. I should very much dislike to feel that the South, the natural habitat of the Negro, as you say, is going to assume a permanent feeling of hostility toward the Negro in these fundamental directions. If it does, migration northward will continue. Dozens of letters and telegrams have reached me from all parts of the South—from as far south as Lake Charles, Louisiana, for instance, and from points in Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and Virginia, from colored men advising that my telegram to Judge Gary correctly interprets the situation in their sections just as I described them. These communications very definitely indicate that these colored Americans seeking a higher wage and release from the economic slavery which holds them in many parts of the South to a one-crop system are ready and willing to supply the labor shortage in American industrial plants where conditions are more to their satisfaction, if plans are taken on a large and important scale to transfer them to the centers where their services are needed. Very truly yours, (Signed) Emmett J. Scott. Nation-wide discussion of Dr. Scott's telegram has ensued. Northern and Southern newspapers, daily and weekly, colored and white, are giving wide publicity to the suggestions contained in his telegram to Judge Gary. ALABAMA TAKES DRASTIC STAND Montgomery, Ala., May 11.—(Associated Negro Press).—That sentiment in the South is growing against lynching, is manifested by the code which has just been recommended of Alabama, which states among other things, "any number of persons assembled for any unlawful purpose and intending to injure any person by violence and without authority of law shall be regarded as a mob, and any act of violence exercised by such mob upon the body of any person shall, when such act results in the death of the injured person, constitute the crime of lynching; and any person who participates in or actively aides or abets such lynching shall, on conviction, suffer death or be imprisoned in the penitentiary for life." J. J. Mayfield, Code Commissioner of Alabama, informs the Associated Negro Press that "The Constitution of Alabama provides that if any sheriff allows any prisoner to be taken from his custody or the jail in consequence of his fault or neglect, it shall be the ground of impeachment and that he shall be impeached before the Supreme Court of the State without the right of jury trial." Mrs. Venus Parker is reported ill at her home with pneumonia. GROWING THANK YOU VOL. VIII—No. 44 RDING COLORED DOCTORS AND NURSES WILL DIRECT HOSPITAL Effort to Supply Government Hospital For Negro Ex-Service Men With White Staff Meets Defeat PRESIDENT HARDING ACTS Advises National Advancement Association That Entire Personnel Will Belong to New York, May 11.—President Harding has broken the silence on the Tuskegee Hospital situation to inforf the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, that the institution on Tuskegee grounds for the care of colored veterans of the world war, is to be manned entirely by colored personnel, including colored doctors and nurses. This decision ends the fear that prevailed for some time that an attempt would be made through the Veterans' Bureau to man the colored hospital with white doctors and nurses, leaving only menial labor for colored people. The letter of Mr. Christian, directed to the Association, containing the good news is as follows: "THE WHITE HOUSE" WASHINGTON My Dear Mr. Seigmann. "Your communication of April 19 has been submitted to the President and he directs me to make reply and say that the task of selecting and completing the colored staff for the management and administration or Tuskegee Hospital is well under way. It is the plan of the Director of the Veterans' Bureau, with the approval of the President, to man this institution completely with a colored personnel. It is not an easy, matter to perfect such an organization under the limitations of the Civil Service, but the program is being worked out in a most pleasing and gratifying way. The Tuskegee experiment is going to afford the trained representatives of the colored race to give proof of their capacity and efficiency in a highly important public service. Yours sincerely, (Signed) Geo. B. Christian, Secretary to the President. The letter sent from Mr. Christian follows two appeals sent to President Harding by the N. A. A. C. P., both pointing out that the effect of depriving colored doctors and nurses of the opportunity to treat colored war veterans in a hospital designed for them exclusively and built upon ground given to the government by Tuskegee Institute would be most unfortunate. EX-SERVICE MEN INVITED TO BOOSEMETING Prominent Speakers Will Be Present to Give Valuable Information Concerning the Bonus. Theodore Roosevelt Post, American Legion, will have a booster meeting at South's restaurant, 2420 North Twenty-fourth street, Saturday, May 19th, at 8 p. m. All ex-service men are requested to be present. Legion men, prominently connected with the state headquarters, will be present to give valuable information concerning the bonus and other matters of extreme importance to all ex-service men. No ex-service man in Omaha can afford to be absent from this meeting. Our post needs to awaken to the needs of our men and it can only do so by every man coming out and taking an active part. This means much to you and me. Will you come out and see what we are doing and help along the cause? The colored people of Nebraska are looking to Roosevelt post to give them the assurance of hope and inspiration which is badly needed. As you did your part in the war, will you, ex-service men, do your part in peace? We can help you, we want to help you. Please come out, Saturday, May 19th. W. W. PEEBLES, Post Commander.

MEMBER OF FIRST IN SERVICE LIGHT IN DARKNESS of prejudice, racial or religious, upon the part of ignorant people are to be expected. It causes little real wormiture to the victims of it. They very charitably and rightfully believe that with the dispelling of ignorance will come the dissipation of bigotry narrowness and prejudice. When, however, such manifestations come from those who are supposed to represent the highest ideals of culture, intelligence and refinement, there are those among us who are inclined to become hopeless and discouraged. They feel that the future is dark, indeed, and that the fight against blighting race prejudice will never cease. Recent manifestations of this kind in two unexpected quarters have been disquieting. One was the action of President A. Lawrence Lowell in the virtual exclusion of colored students from Harvard university; the other was the action of the committee of "eight eminent Americans" who a few days ago denied Miss Augusta Savage admission to the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts. When pressed for the reason, the chairman admitted to the fear that it would be objectable to other American students. There was nothing against Miss Savage's character or qualifications. God in his infinite wisdom had willied to create her a member of the dark race, therefore these "eight eminent Americans" presumed this sufficient grounds for denying her the privilege of developing her artistic ability and that in direct violation of the customs which obtain in France. The prejudice of the white American towards the black American as manifested by these cases of narrowness among men of culture would indeed make thick darkness to settle over the land for our group, but for one thing: THE LIGHT IN THIS DARKNESS. Here is the LIGHT that must dispel this darkness: The board of overseers overruled President Lowell and said Harvard's traditions must stand. No bar of color or race shall exclude worthy students from the advantages and privileges of Harvard. Those Nebras Chapter Thirteen o Enacted in 1893.

In the case of Augusta Savage many broad-minded white men and women with representatives of the press of the country are crying, "Shame shame, on such action," and a representative of the Society of Ethical Culture has sailed for France to protest there this act of exclusion upon the part of these "eight eminent Americans". Therefore, take heart. There is light in the darkness. Let us continue to do our part. The light will grow until its beams illuminate the darkness. RELIGIOUS LEADERS ONE of the most powerful agencies for righteousness is the courageous religious leader, who is not a compromise, an opportunist or a respecter of persons. Such men wield a tremendous influence. America has produced some such men. All too few but men who have wrought mightily for human uplift, mutual good-will and brotherhood. They have been found and are still found in all denominations. May their numbers increase. Recently the Episcopal Church has lost two such leaders. One was the Right Rev. Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, bishop of Missouri and primate of the American Episcopal Church. The other was the Rt. Rev. Alfred Harding, bishop of Washington. Both of these men were sincerely mourned by thousands even outside of their own communion and especially by hundreds of our people. It is significant to note how closely our race press observe such men. Many of our papers commented on Bishop Tuttle's passage and of his attitude towards our people. Several have called attention to Bishop Harding's attitude. The following editorial from The Washington Sentinel shows how observant and appreciative is the race press for religious leaders among the dominant group who in their dealings with all mankind manifest the spirit of the Master: "The death of Right Reverend Alfred Harding, late bishop of the Episcopal Church for the diocese of Washing- ka Civil Rig of the Revised Statutes of Neb ton, removes from our midst one of the most forceful and beautiful characters ever elected to preside over this diocese. In all his dealings, both temporal and spiritual, he expressed in his ministrations the true interpretation of 'primus inter pares' and thereby endeared to him every element of communicants in this diocese. By the breadth of his views, his simplicity, his sympathetic interest in the welfare of all the groups composing his diocese, the bishop made himself a great moral force with the colored communicants in particular, upon whom his death has fallen as a distinctive loss." MOTHER'S DAY SUNDAY is to be observed as Mother's Day. A pretty custom has been established of wearing upon this day a carnation in honor of mother. Red is the color worn if mother is still living upon earth; white, if she has been called to join those who have gone on before. Such a day has its value. But many who will wear a carnation in honor of mother on Sunday will honor her more truly by obeying her every day and striving to lighten her burdens. Honor mother on MOTHER'S DAY and let every day be mother's day. TOOK IN TOO MUCH TERRITORY OUR friends the Kluxes took in too much territory when they included the Negroes, the Jews, the Roman Catholics and foreign-born citizens as ineligibles for their select sheet and slit-pillow-slip organization. They found themselves lonely with their "white, protestant, gentile" bunch. Can you blame them? Unable to stand this exclusive company they decided to let down the bars; or rather get out a revised edition, labelled "The Fascisti". This lets in everybody else but our people. Thanks, we are mighty particular about our associates. PUT IT UP TO THE COURTS Is the arbitrary rule of a boxing commission superior to the constitution? Of course, it isn't. How can you prove it? Easily. Let the Elks or the Roosevelt Post stage a boxing-bout between a white and a colored boxer. Then get out an injunction against the boxing commission from interefering. This will throw it into the courts. This is the way to knock out the commission's rurling. Will the Elks or the Post make the test? THE ST. PAUL PRES. BYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-sixth and Seward Streets.

The public is most cordially invited to be present at these services. THE MONITOR BOSTON DAILY FLAYS Rejection of Colored Artist for Fontainebleu School in France "SMALL BUSINESS" (Boston Post Editorial, April 25, 2023). It is pretty small business for that "committee of eight eminent American architects, painters and sculptors" to be in, namely, turning down the application of Miss Auguste Savage of New York for entrance to the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts in France, because of her color. That must be the reason, since none whatever is given. It is said privately that the committee believes that her going to France would be disagreeable to some white students and embarrassing to her. All this is poppycock. We know that France does not draw the color line, and if other American students cannot, abide the dreadful contamination of having an artist, well educated and refined colored girl as a fellow student, let them stay at home. As for the "embarrassment" of the girl herself, she is willing to take her chances. Miss Savage sums up the matter pungently when she says: "Democracy is a strange thing. My brother was good enough to be accepted in one of the regiments that saw service in France during the war, but it seems that his sister is not good enough to be a guest of the country for which he fought." Yes, it is strange—when interpreted by a set of men to whom race prejudice is a greater thing than justice. AN AFRO-AMERICAN'S CHARGE AGAINST AMERICANS AGAINST WHITE AMERICANS Monroe Trotter, who has spent a lifetime in the service of his race, said recently: "The thing that the colored people of America cannot forgive is the deliberate attempts made by Americans to spread race hatred in lands where none existed. Americans have done this in the West Indies, in South America, in England, and in France, and everywhere they have gone. It is bad enough to persecute the colored people here, but when Americans insist on trying to convert the rest of the world into hating the colored race, I call it the basest betrayal of democracy on record." This is a grave charge, but who LINCOLN NEWS Ladies: We observe that Mine, A. C. Stanley has added a new line of toilet articles to her Poro Beauty Parlor at 238 North 9th. Miss.

INDIAN MAIDENS HAVE OWN COMING-OUT PARTY Ready to Receive Proposal After All-Night Dance. Washington.—The modern "society" flapper, with her coming-out party, has nothing on the American Indian maiden, whose marriage-announcement party has been among the tribal customs from time immemorial. Among the Washoe Indians of Nevada there is a dance or ceremony known as "the girl's dance," in honor of the young girl who becomes eligible for marriage. Her white cousin, however, would hardly care to be the star of such a feast, for the guest of honor is allowed to eat nothing at all for four days previous. On the fourth night the dance starts at about eight o'clock, and sometimes lasts until sunrise the following morning. The Indians form a circle, joining hands, and move by short side steps in a ring, humming a sort of chant without words or meaning. The girl, accompanied by an elder woman as a sort of chaperon, and carrying a long staff to support her because of the weakness induced by her long fast, weaves in and out of the dance, joining in the step. As the dance proceeds late into the night, the girl's family give money and other possessions to the dancers to keep them moving and to induce others to join in. The greater the number of dancers the greater the popularity of the family. Shortly after midnight a feast is given by the girl's relatives, and all participate. The ceremony closes at sunrise when the girl is taken to her tepee and attired in bunches of sagebrush in which money is concealed. She appears before the assembled dancers outside and throws the money to them amid a wild scramble. A can of water is then dashed over her head as the concluding ceremony, after which she is ready to receive a proposal of marriage. Is First Baby to Be Christened by Radio FILM Little Winifred Coker and her mother, Mrs. J. B. Coker of Atlanta, Ga. Winifred is the first baby to be christened by radio and the ceremonies took place over WSB, an Atlanta broadcasting station. Pays Creditors After 20 Years Beating Back Cincinnati.—In a private dining room at an exclusive club, 14 business men met Tuesday night for what probably was the most peculiar feast ever attended by any of them. It was arranged with mystery concealing the identity of the host, but each guest was a creditor—whom he repaid after 20 years of efforts to "come back." The presentation of checks for the principal with interest for two decades recalled to each of the guests the name of Foster Butner, former Lexington, (Ky.) produce dealer, who failed in business in 1903 and left for the West. Presented by the toastmaster, who had arranged the dinner at his telegraphed request, the host explained that he had succeeded as a produce grower at Roseberg, Ore. He told of his struggle to regain a footing and thanked each creditor for leniency.

Don't you also know that those whose mothers are living, out of respect and gratitude of their hearts for the pains and toils their mothers have endured to make life worth while, will be at church as a token of appreciation for the same. Yes, they will be there unless there are conditions over which they have no control to prevent them, and then we are sure they will put forth a supreme effort to remove any obstacle before they will be satisfied not to come.

Luna was trailed to his camp in the chaparral, 25 miles from here, by a sheriff's posse and there shot and killed by Deputy Sheriff Victor Ortega. With the death of Luna and the confession he made to Mrs. Moreno there was solved the mystery of several murders and assaults which have been committed in the Rio Hondo section of the lower Rio Grande border in the last two years. For three days Luna kept Mrs. Moreno a captive in his remote camp, submitting her to many tortures. According to her sworn story, Luna entered the Moreno home five miles from Río Hondo, late at night. He awakened her first and asked if her husband was at home. The latter answered for himself, and Luna then struck Moreno over the head with a pistol and then picked up an ax with which he continued beating him until he was dead. The bandit then grabbed Mrs. Moreno and placed her on a horse in front of him and fleed. He threatened to kill her if she made an outcry. They traveled most of the night, finally arriving at Luna's comp. Kept Girl Prisoner. The camp is about two miles from Rancho Nueva and five miles from Los Leones. Here the girl was kept in captivity from Thursday morning until Saturday afternoon. During this time Mrs. Moreno did not eat anything, although Luna brought her food. He went to the Chapa ranch house, some distance from the camp to obtain food, she said. It was at the camp that Luna told her of his crimes. According to Mrs. Moreno, she was repeatedly threatened with death by Luna while in camp. He spent much of his time telling her of the many crimes he had committed. He said that he killed Miss Marie Schroeder at Rio Hondo two years ago; that he was the man who brutally assaulted E. F. Ehlers of Rio Hondo and attacked Mrs. Ehlers, a few weeks ago. His purpose, he said, was to kidnap Miss Ruth Ehlers, their daughter, but he was foiled in this effort. The killing of the Schroeder girl was described as the most atrocious in the history of the lower border country. The girl was accustomed to go to and from school, about three miles from her home, on a horse. She failed to return home one evening. Nothing was thought of it at the time, as she frequently spent nights with friends in San Benito. Next day, when she failed to appear, a search was started. Her horse was found, and later her badly mutilated body was discovered hidden in underbrush. Got His Man—Dead. Possess beat the country for several days, and one man, a Mexican, believed to have had some knowledge of the crime, was killed when he resisted officers. Luna, according to information obtained, was feared by all the people of the Rio Hondo district because of his brutality and treachery. Luna had been suspected for some time of having been implicated in the Ehlers crime. At the time this crime was committed, Sheriff Sam Robertson put Victor Ortega on the case. Ortega expressed the belief that Luna was the guilty man, and he spent most of his time after the Ehlers crime searching for Luna. Robertson offered a reward of $100 for the murderer of Guadalupe Moreno, dead or alive, and Ortega, with the faithfulness with which he started on the case, got his man—dead. Luna was twenty-four years old and it is believed by peace officers that his death will remove the ringleader of a group of bandits who have been committing crimes in the Rio Hondo district, and hiding in the stretches of brush land between that place and the bay.

Hilma Guranson, a maid, has filed suit for $30,000 damages in New York city. The maid is suing her employer, Mrs. Julia Lecluse, owner of the parrot. THE MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE At the meeting of the Ministerial Alliance Tuesday morning some serious consideration was given to the too prevalent practice in our city of irresponsible persons under the guise of ministers soliciting for funds for nothing other than their own use. It was decided that some definite steps must be taken to stop such actions not only for the protection of every minister in good standing but also for ALASKA TO GET MORE TRAFFIC ALASKA TO GET MORE TRAFFIC Operation of River Boats Makes One More Step in Opening Up Territory. Washington.—One more step in "opening up" Alaska will be taken when the government begins operation of river boats on the Yukon and Tanana this summer. "Thus Fairbanks, interior metropolis of Alaska, becomes officially the place where rails and rivers meet," says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society. "Fairbanks marks the apex of a traffic triangle with one leg planted at Seward, southern terminus of the Alaska railway, and the other on Bering sea, where flow the waters of the Tanana and the Yukon. "The Yukon is one of the world's great rivers. If its mouth were at New York city its source would be near Salt Lake City. "The Tanana, the less familiar portion of the new government boat route, is the Yukon's chief southern tributary. It drains the vast Tanana valley, rich in gold, other minerals and virgin farm lands. "This Imperial valley of the Far North, as large as West Virginia, now has a white population of less than 7,000. In a dozen years after the first substantial gold output, in 1903, yellow ore worth $60,000,000 was mined. Town of Flowers and Birdhouses. "Steaming up the Yukon in summer time the visitor will reach a town of many flowers, numerous homes have hothouses, some have bird boxes on their peaks, and practically all have vegetable gardens. Wild roses and Scotch bluebells grow in the fields. "He rubs his eyes and exclaims, 'This can be Alaska.' But it is, and Alaskans would have their fellow Americans recover from the idea, 'due to misleading textbooks of generations gone,' that theirs is a 'forbidding, icecovered, glacier-crowned land of dogteams and polar bears.' The quotation is from the most recent report of the territorial government, and it is repeated at every opportunity. "The Alaskans are not denying marked climatic differences from the states. A novelist recently sent the proof of a serial story he was writing to a native. This writer had the pitch-dark of a Fourth of July night illuminated by fireworks. The fireworks were all right—the Alaskan celebrates with the rest of us—but there is no night in July. "Fairbanks had to pass a curfew law that all children must be put to bed summer evenings by ten o'clock, lest the youngsters get inadequate rest. After your host has tucked the children to bed and takes you to a dance or to the 'movies' it is a queer sensation of walk home in daylight. "The town of flowers and birds and gardens is Tanana. Turning into the river of that name the visitor is assailed by less pleasant evidences that Alaska is not all winter. Mosquitoes and mooseflies abound." "The Tanana is broad and placid. Green willows and poplars push out over the water's edge, for the earth banks are soft and the dirt mills away as in many places the water digs a cave beneath. "Often turning and twisting, your boat will pass Tolovana, where, on a clear day, Mt. McKinley, a hundred miles away, is visible. Farther on is Nenana, now the terminus of the broad-gauge Alaska railroad from Seward. Today passengers must change here to the narrow gauge line to Falkbarns. With the opening of the 700-foot, single-span bridge across the river at this point, the narrow gauge will be converted to the standard track width and trains will run through. "The government railway made Nenana a busy little town of neat buildings and up-to-date stores. So no anxiously are its citizens for a 'spottown' ideal that they prohibit any dogs within a mile of their community. "The next town is Chenna, which hopes to wrest future laurels from Fairbanks as the St. Louis of inland Alaska. Electric Lighted Chicken Coops. "Then Fairbanks! Here, as in Dawson, sandwiches once cost a dollar apiece, fortunes were dug up and squandered, and the bilarity of a big city's night life extended through the 24 daylight hours. "Today Fairbanks retains little trace of a mining town. It has electric lights, stores, telephones, an agricultural college, jitneys run out to nearby towns and camps, and its women are reputed to be the most modishly dressed in the territory. "The electric lighting plant is used for the chicken houses as well as homes in the dark winter, small farms and dairies are springing up around the city, and their celery, growers insist, is on Fairbanks tables before that of Massachusetts reaches Boston consumers. "Fairbanks has its slogan, too, like its sister cities back in the states. It wants more roads and railroads, and capital for development of its surrounding coal fields. Therefore its appeal, about to be realized in part, 'Give us the railway and motive power, and we will pay the nation's war debt!" Hit by Auto: Is Fined $5 Detroit, Mich.-For "getting hit" by an automobile William Berrickv of Kemore, O., was fined $5 and costs. According to the court, Berrickv was the cause of the accident, so the driver was exonerated. the race generally. The Alliance is uncompromisingly opposed to such "grass hopper" preachers, as a speaker designated them, and if there is any possible way of ridding the community of such, it fully intends to do so. Good Variety Show. "All the world's a stage and every man is entitled to a fair show," remarks an exchange. Well, life's a pretty fair show, as we view it. (Continued from page One) hospital, that that's, isn't it? It seems to me there's another one. I am pretty sure there are four. Well, no matter. One observation is apropos. Excellent as may be the work all these small hospitals—for none is very large—are doing. I could not help but remark, what a fine thing it would be if they could all be combined in ONE LARGE, FULLY EQUIPPED AND EQUATELY SUPPORTED HOSPITAL AND TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES. Able physicians, surgeons and nurses, I was advised, are connected with each; but what an admirable thing it would be to centralize this ability in one strong institution. The most attractive and apparently the largest of these hospitals is that of the Royal Circle, I think it is on Gaines street, quite near St. Philip's Episcopal church, a neat brick structure, and the Phyllis Wheatley Centre, "the model Y. W. C. A. building for colored girls and women", as some one proudly told me. Little Rock and the womanhood of the race have a right to be proud of the beautiful Young Women's Christian Association building. It is an architectural gem, ideally located—not in a hollow, if you please, but on a high and well-paved street—and beautifully appointed and furnished. It radiates an atmosphere of refinement. No girl can enter its portals and be insensible to its influence. I do not know how fully the race in Little Rock appreciate this splendid institution for the uplift of womanhood or how well they support it. The secretary in charge is a very gracious and competent young woman by the name of Miss Willie Long. She took pride in showing us over the building. As I wrote her name in my note book. I said is it "Willa"? "No, W-i-l-i-i-e", Willie, just like a boy's name, she replied. "Then, some of your friends call you 'Billie', don't they, Miss Long?" She admitted that some did. Mrs. Frederick Divers, wife of the pastor of Bethel Methodist Church, Omaha, was prior to her marriage in charge of Phyllis Wheatley branch, where she is pleasantly remembered as Miss Sadie Davis. These are some of the institutions which are playing their part in the uplift and betterment of our people. Only a few, but they typify the fany. (Next Article: OFF FOR HOT SPRINGS.)
