Set Apart With Fitting Exercises. FIVE HUNDRED ATTENDANCE Humble Beginning Made By Pioneer Women Twenty-five Years Ago Bears Fruitage Later. Within less than a block of where twenty-five years ago, an old folks home was opened in a rented building on Cuming street, stands the well-built, attractive and commodious modern 12-room residence recently acquired by the Negro Christian Woman's Association which now comfortably houses its Old Folks Home, that was formally opened and dedicated with appropriate exercises Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. This permanent home is in reality the outgrowth of the effort of a quarter of a century ago, for it was some of the same women who were interested in that first effort, who, lamenting its failure, met upon the invitation of Mrs. Martha Taylor Smith at her residence, September 23, 1913, and formed the Association which organized, established, purchased and supported the Home on Pinkney street of which possession has been yielded to enter into this new property. From that time until the present Mrs. Smith has given herself devotedly to this great cause. Many of the women who were active in the first effort have passed to their reward. Among these were Mrs. William Merriam, Mrs. William Payne and Mrs. Granville Jackson. Among those of the original group who still remain are Mrs. Martha Taylor Smith, Mrs. Alphonso Wilson, Mrs. R. W. Freeman and Mrs. A. L. Powler. To these other interested women were added subsequently. A few of these who may be mentioned are Mrs. Lillian Black, Mrs. W. H. Mortimer, Mrs. James G. Jewell, Mrs. W. F. Botts, Mrs. Charles H. Hicks, and Mrs. Shelton-Union. The dedication of the new home is the fruition of the prayers and labors of these and their other faithful co-workers, and this building stands as a monument to their labor of love for His Name's sake. The dedicatory exercises were in charge of Mr. M. F. Singleton, a member of the Board of Directors, who was master of ceremonies. They consisted of the invocation by the Rev. John Union, the singing of "How Firm a Foundation," and "Onward Christian Soldiers," by the audience, with Mrs. Frederick Divers at the piano; an address by Mrs. Martha Tavlor Smith, founder and president of the Home, briefly reciting the initial meeting at her residence and the struggle for maintenance; an address by Henry W. Black, urging united effort in lifting the mortgage, an address by Rev. John Albert Williams in which he called attention to the pioneer movement and the significant fact that the present building is within a stone throw of the first establishment; a tense and clear report of how the money for initial payment on present home had been raised and expended by Mrs. James G. Jewell, and a congratulatory address dress by Mr. Chas. Carey, secretary of the Community Chest. Mr. Singleton then presented Mrs. Sarah A. Joslyn, Mrs. Charles Metz and Mr. Folda, directors of the Community Chest, and also Mr. Wallace Wilson of the Welfare Board. Then followed the excellent dedicatory address by the Rev. W. F. Botts, pastor of Zion Baptist Church, who defined the dedication and the meaning of home. The Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church gave the dedicatory prayer and "Lifted a collection" for the home, while Desdunes band played several selections on the outside. The collection totalled $105, including a donation of $5.00 which accompanied a congratulatory letter from one of Mrs. Smith's Buffalo, N. Y., friends. It was estimated that more than five hundred persons attended the exercises and inspected the building, from top to bottom, with which all expressed themselves as highly pleased. The home has at present five inmates. The Rev. and Mrs. W. M. Hall, 2815 Burdette street, entertained their 13 year old daughter, Ophelia, Sunday, with a birthday party. About twenty-five guests were present. THE MONITOR WOULD STOP MIGRATION Washington, D. C., October 12—The appointment of a committee of representative colored men to conduct a campaign of education to keep the Negro in the South and cut down the emigration to the north was recommended to President Coolidge recently by H. L. Remmel of Little Rock, Ark., republican national committeeman from that state. The president promised to consider the matter. WILL PLAY IN OMAHA LAST OF THE MONTH Sol Butler and "Duke" Salter Will Be Here October 28 With Rock Island Independents To Meet the Omaha Olympics. Sol Butler and "Duke" Slater, probably the two most prominent colored athletes the country has ever known, are to play football in League Park Sunday, October 28, on the team of the Rock Island Independents against the Omaha Olympics, according to the announcement of Frank Cerney, business manager of the Olympics. It will be the first appearance west of the Missouri river for either of these great stars. As tackle on the undefeated Iowa University football team, Slater won the unanimous choice of American football critics as all-American tackle, the first time such an honor was ever given a colored man. Slater at the same time was winning a country-wide reputation for his clean play. On the gridiron he is known as one of the cleanest sportsmen the game ever knew. In private life, he is a gentleman, a student. Both he and Butler are University graduates. Butler's athletics extended to a wider field than those of Slater. Butler has long been known as one of the country's most proficient all-round athletes, in baseball, boxing, sprinting, hurdling, and especially football. The Independents are leading the National Association of football leagues. Chicago newspapers in commenting on the team's success this season are profuse in their praise of Butler's brilliant broken-field running and of Slater's powerful defensive play at tackle. The Olympics will have in opposition to the Independent's, the greatest galaxy of football celebrities that was ever gathered together in the midwest. Clarence Swanson, all-American end and former captain of Nebraska University team, Gene Leahym, former Creighton star, Ole Paulson, former Great Lakes naval training station star, Edson Shaw, former all-Western tackle and half a dozen other famous grid stars are lined up with the Olympics. Next Sunday, October 14th, the Olympics play Tecumseh Wonder Team at League Park at 3 p. m. OPENING OF DREAMLAND HALL TUESDAY NIGHT The beautiful $50,000 modern building which Mr. James G. Jewell has erected on the corner of Twenty-fourth and Grant street is nearly completed and ready for occupancy. This building contains a handsome and commodious hall which has a seating capacity of nearly 1000 and is suitable for public entertainments of all kinds. It is called Dreamland Hall. The hall will be formally opened with a ball next Tuesday night. Adams' popular orchestra will furnish the music. Drew Harrold is floor manager. A large attendance is anticipated at this great social event. ASKS NEW HEAD OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY Brooklyn, N. Y., October 12.-The sixteenth annual convention of the National Equal Rights League in session adopted resolutions calling for the removal of President J. Stanley Durkee of Howard and the appointment of a colored man in his place. REASSIGNED TO OMAHA The Rev. W. C. Williams, who for the past five years has been pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, the usual limit of pastorates in that connection, and who was recently transferred by the Kansas Conference to the Southwest Missouri Conference, has been reassigned to St. John's and entered upon his work. He is engaged in the work of completing the building of the new St. John's which will be an imposing edifice at Twenty-second and Willis avenue. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV.

YOUR TRAIN JUST LEFT SHOW YOUR TICKETS (Copyright, W. N. U.) SIGHTS, EXPERIENCES AND IMPRESSIONS OF A TRAVELLER WHO ATTENDED NATL. BAPTIST CONVENTION, LOS ANGELES Everyone who has ever planned a trip, be it long or short, understands the thrills and bustle experienced during the last moments until the station is actually reached. Certainly, such was the experience of the delegation to the National Baptist Convention that left Omaha from the Burlington Station at 11:30 Saturday evening, September 1, enroute for Los Angeles, California. It was a great relief to finally be seated in our special car, with a party of nine—three women and six men, if we were to discover with regret at this hopeless moment that some necessary article had been forgotten. However, the women being seated chatted happily together and the men strolled off to the smoking room, while the porter proceeded to get the beds ready. In due time we were fast asleep unmindful of the fact that we were not in our beds at home, but in a Pullman speeding over the rails during the lonely dark hours of the night. Nevertheless the engine sped on—for her goal was Kansas City. As she puffed away she seemed to say: "Come on, let's go. Come on, let's go!" and the many coaches rolled on after her. At the hour when nature disrobes herself of her mourning and appears adorned in her bright apparel of silver and gold, beaming forth with such luster that all the world seems new, we were sidetracked in the yards of the Union Station in Kansas City. Knowing that friends and acquaintances were hourly arriving at this point of connection, we hurriedly made our way to the spacious and magnificent station that cost many millions of dollars and has the largest waiting room of any station in our country. Delegations from Massachusets, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska were there. A large gathering—you would say—when the north and east met the middle west. Yes, but a greater one was destined to be at the next junction. Every face was smiling and every eye shifting, seeking old friends, who, when found, were warmly greeted with hand shakings, kisses and caresses. Here we were detained for four hours. Unfortunately for the Nebraska delegation we left our car and visited the station at our leisure, but PLAYER WRITES "CREED" BEFORE KILLED IN GAME Ames, Ia., October 12—John (Jack) Trice, Iowa state college football star who sustained injuries Saturday in the Minnesota game from which he died, wrote the following creed the night before the game: "My thoughts just before the first real college game of my life: The honor of my race, family and self are at stake. Everyone is expecting me to do big things. I will! My whole body and soul are to be thrown reck- Our Pet Peeve BA-FULLAAH KO-OOOF FA-POOH BLA-AH+ S AND IMPRESSIONS OF NATL. BAPTIST CONVE By Mrs. M. H. Wilkinson were not permitted to return to our cars until all the delegations had arrived and trains were made up. Were we tired and disgusted? You bet we were, it was like playing ring around the roses, but we never got out. Two or three of our brethern succeeded in playing Sherlock Holmes in getting back. A certain missionary said he would get us out but every attempt wws in vain. There were four trains made up here with twelve coaches each. The Illinois delegation, led by our president, Dr. L. K. Williams, was the first to leave; others followed in routine. Early Sunday evening we reached Pratt, Kansas, where an outdoor service had been planned at the station by the local pastor. Many alighted from the cars while others raised the windows to hear Dr. Butler of Indiana speak, Prof. Nix of Chicago sing and last but not least Justice of the Peace Alexander, a colored citizen of Pratt who urged our group to endeavor to make good as citizens. The hearty applause was evidence that the program was greatly appreciated. The number of white citizens present far exceeded those of our group. As we pulled out we heard the parson ask that no one leave without giving an offering because their regular services had been omitted. Being Sunday evening, services were held in many of the cars and the Holy Spirit lifted each believer. Speeding through the country we saw nothing of special interest at this time more then verdant grass, trees laden with fruit and late crops that had not yet been kissed by Jack Frost. Everywhere nature seemed at her best, yet in her strength and glory. "El Paso, Texas!" cried the auditor. A vision of the Kluxes rose before us and a few wondered whether to venture out or not. To the great surprise of our porter, who said he had never seen the like, we had full sway at the station. Really the employees at the station were pleased to see our friendly demonstrations. I heard one officer remark to a minister: "My, but they are glad to see one another." Of course, that is characteristic of our folk. Here we met delegations from Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, etc. Hurrall for the N. A. A. C. P. of El Paso who have so thoughtfully char- lessly about the field tomorrow. "Every time the ball is snapped, I will be trying to do more than my part. On all defensive plays, I must break through the opponents' line and stop the play in their territory. "Beware of mass interference. Fight low, with your eyes open and toward the play. Roll back the interference. Watch out for cross buckles and reverse end runs. Be on your toes every minute if you expect to make good. (Signed "Jack"). The creed or letter, unaddressed, was found in Trice's coat pocket Monday --- tered cars to assure the delegates of a trip into Mexico and after the religious and educational constituency had fed them to their stomachs' delight at the schoolhouse. "Was I dah? You bet! I nevah in my life see such a sight. All de delegates were invited and dey come. An' I'd like to tell you 'bout it—what we had—but I can't able. Fu' I know twill stait a hank' rin an' yo' moull mince to worter." A rush for the cars and we were on our way to Mexico. A representative of the N. A. A. C. P. was on each car. They informed us that the fare was fifty cents. This was like dropping a bomb into camp. We regret to say an unnecessary amount of excitement and objections were raised from some of our big little leaders. Really, there was a controversy between those who favored the price and those who felt that they were being held up, because they had learned that the fare was only sixteen cents to Mexico. Many considered it a favor to have chartered cars in order to avoid segregation in the regular cars that only allowed three seats in the rear for colored passengers. At that rate it would have taken two or three weeks for our delegation to have gone over. Some who could not see it in this light got off and few took automobiles. One brother was heard to say: "I have lived all these days without seeing Mexico." Another said: "Those who don't care to go, get off, because some of us are going. As much as I have read about Mexico I don't intend to come this close and not see it." Many agreed with him. The dear brother that started the objection in our car was the first one to settle down and pay his fifty cents. Oh, how we wished we could have set that brother off! He had caused others to go, but stayed himself. So we see every day the fellow that starts the row is seldom the one who gets out. He usually stays and enjoys whatever is to be enjoyed. Well, we were duly notified that nothing was to be brought back from Mexico. Not even for "stomach's sake". Of course, you will agree, dear reader, that the explanation was unnecessary, but duty demanded it. Over the river Rio Grande we go into the city of Juarez, Mexico. morning. Tuesday afternoon it was read by President R. A. Pearson to 3,000 students and faculty members of the college who attended memorial services held on the campus in the death athlete's honor. Trice's home was in Cleveland, Ohio. He was twenty-one years of age and was married last year. Mrs. J. H. Smith, 2860 Lake street, returned Sunday from Corsicanna, Texas, where she has been visiting relatives and friends for the past two months. Whole Number 431 FORFEIT GAME BECAUSE OF NEGRO HALFBACK Washington, Pa., October 12.—The scheduled football game between Washington and Jefferson and Washington and Lee was declared forfeited to Washington and Jefferson by a score of 1 to 0 last Saturday afternoon when Washington and Lee refused to play against Charles West, Negro halfback on the W. & J. team. West's athletic standing was not challenged. "RAILEY" JACKSON INSTANTLY KILLED BY TWO HIGHWAYMEN Omaha Resident for Fourteen Years Is Victim of Cold Blooded Murder by Hold-up Men—One Assailant Captured Last Thursday night at half past 10 o'clock Fred H. "Railley" Jackson, proprietor of a pool hall at Twenty-fourth and Burdette streets, was shot and instantly killed by two hold-up men at Twenty-seventh and Q streets, South Side. Jackson and Turner had emerged from a resort in that locality and had just boarded Jackson's car, when two bandits, one of whom was captured right after the shooting, ordered Turner, who was at the wheel, "to drive around the corner", off the main street. Instead Turner drove the machine in front of the Armour Packing Company and Jackson held up his hands, when it is alleged the bandits deliberately shot him. He died almost instantly. William Simpson, 2529½ Wirt street, was arrested as he fled from the scene of the shooting and ran into the arms of Officers William Galasche and Joe Zaleski, who were attracted by the firing. Simpson admitted the attempted robbery, but claimed his companion did the shooting, although he threw his gun away when captured. Jackson, who was born in Indianapolis, October 28, 1884, left home when a boy and wandered out west where he spent several years, eventually coming to Omaha, fourteen years ago, where he had since resided. His funeral which was in charge of the Elks was held from his late residence. 2205 North Twenty-fifth street Sunday night at 9:30 after which the remains were sent to Kansas City, Kans, for interment Thursday. The body was met at Kansas City by M. Otred Lodge No. 16 A. F. and A. M. He is survived by his sister and other relatives. The deceased was quite popular among his friends. SUCCESSFUL CONCERT AT GROVE METHODIST A large and appreciative audience was delighted with the concert given last Monday night at Grove Methodist Church by local talent for the benefit of the Church. The pleasing event was under the auspices of the "Lieutenant Governor of Alabama," Mrs. S. A. Brown. The program included an address by Attorney A. P. Seruggs, selections by Adams' orchestra; piano solos by Mrs. Young; Miss Lillian Gray, and Mr. George Madison; and vocal numbers by Mrs. C. C.

GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 15 spicion INVESTIGATION OF DISAPPEARANCE EARNESTLY URGED Governor of Florida Requested By the Advancement Association To Probe Case of Stone Isaac. PROBABLE VIOLEENCE VICTIM Reported Taken From Home By Two Men Representing Themselves As Law Officers Three New York, Oct. 12.-Kidnapping and the subsequent disappearance of a reputable colored citizen of Miami, Florida, on the night of June 27 of this year, is reported to Governor Cary Hardee of Florida in a letter sent by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, asking him to investigate. The kidnapped man, who has not been heard from since his disappearance, Stone Isaac by name, is said to have been called for by two men representing themselves as officers of the law. The letter from the Advancement Association to the Florida Governor, follows: "Investigators report to us the kidnapping of a respectable colored citizen of Miami, Florida, named Stone Isaac, by two men representing themselves as officers of the law, on the night of June 27, since nothing has been heard of him. "We are informed by competent and trustworthy persons that a woman who had been unsuccessful in court action against Stone Isaac maliciously spread the false report in Homestead, Fla., that Mr. Isaac was organizing a black Ku Klux Klan to kill the white people. She is also said to have reported to the police that he had thirty high-powered rifles in his home. The police on investigation found this report to be untrue. But the man was subsequently kidnapped and has not been heard of since. "May we ask that you as Governor of Florida investigate the facts set forth and take appropriate action to apprehend and prosecute the kidnappers, and possibly the murderers, of Stone Isaac, if the facts are as reported to this Association. We stand ready to co-operate with you in any way that you may think feasible. RAGMAN GETS $3,200 PENSION Washington, Oct. 12.—Alfred Pettis, a 75-year-old rag-picker, received a Treasury warrant through the malls this week for $3,230. Accompanying the warrant was a note from the Pension Bureau stating that it represented back pension at the rate of $50 a month. Pettis filed an application for a pension ten years ago but failed to follow it up. The government traced his claim and found that he enlisted in the Second Colored Infantry at Key West, Fla., in 1864 at the age of 16. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH Rev.

MARCONI DEVELOPS PLAN TO SEND CHEAP MESSAGES Minimum of Electrical Current Will Be Needed When New Waves Are Used. Another great step in the development of wireless telegraphic transmission has been realized, says Senator Marconi, who has returned to London after a two months' experimental cruise in his yacht, according to a London dispatch. A system has been evolved by the Italian inventor whereby wireless messages are transmitted with a minimum of electrical power, and at very low cost. "We have transmitted messages up to a distance of 2,250 miles, not only with a very much smaller amount of power and energy, but faster and more cheaply than with the ordinary system of long-distance wireless," said Senator Marconi. "When the new system is adopted it will mean that a power station for long-distance work can be erected at much less cost than at present. I have telegraphed on this system from Cape Verde island, off the African coast, to London. To send messages clearly and more rapidly over those 2,500 miles took less power than a message from London to Paris by the ordinary methods." Senator Marconi explained t'at these advantages were gained by the utilization of waves that have not been used. Given the necessary mechanical element, he said, messages could be sent clearly seven times faster than the present rate, and that the public and the newspapers ultimately would have the benefit of much cheaper commercial charges. His opinion is that wireless is only in its infancy, and that the future has in store greater marvels than have been revealed in the past. Commenting on recent experiments conducted by American inventors looking to privacy in wireless telephone conversation, Senator Marconi said he was afraid such an achievement will still far off. "I do not say that wireless telegraphy ever will be an absolutely private means of transmission, but I will say that in the future it will be possible to make it much more difficult for any one to get messages it intended for them." AMERICAN EXPLORERS TO EXCAVATE BURIED CITIES Cornegie institute has developed plans for a series of expeditions to excavate the ruins of ancient Maya cities in the hope of revealing the secrets of that buried civilization, says a Washington dispatch to the New York Herald. The institute has been sending yearly expeditions for the last decade or so, but the next expedition will start next January and will be the largest and most important archeological venture ever attempted on this continent. Some of the best known scientists of America and Europe will head the various departments of the expedition and their discoveries may literally turn present conceptions of primitive history upside down. Permission has been granted by the governments concerned for the American scientists to investigate ruins of the Maya cities in the jungles of Mexico and Guatemala. Dr. Sylvanus G. Moreley, associate of the Institute in Middle American archeology, who has been conducting explorations and studies in middle America for nine years, is now in Yucatan to begin preliminary work of clearing the brush from the group of structures which will form the first study. No venture in recent years has excited so much interest in scientific circle's as the institute's announcement that it intends to excavate the ruined cities of what is generally accepted to have been the first human race to inhabit this continent. Just what the explorers will find no man can predict, but officials of the institution predict that the story buried in the tropical jungles of Mexico promises to become one of the most intriguing chapters in primitive history and to place King "Tut" far in the background. The Maya civilization, an aboriginal race, flourished on this continent centuries before the coming of Christ. It reached an amazingly high state of intellectual culture for that period and then disappeared with a completeness that has baffled science. Got a cold?

Next week's offering at the Gayety theatre should be of sufficient appeal to its patrons in this city to warrant a visit of the majority of them to that popular playhouse. Especially will its attractiveness appeal to the ladies who are in the habit of attending the daily matinees. "Let's Go," the offering in question, is one of the really pretentious shows of the season. It carries an equipment of fifteen magnificent scenes and one of the most expensive wardrobes of exquisite costumes on the road. There is a host of truly pretty chorus girls, who not only display their many pretty costumes to the greatest advantage but who have been selected for their dancing and sining ability as well. Particularly true is this of the former, the members having been trained in a manner of dancing that rivals the famous Tiller Girls. In fact they are a ginger, good-looking lot who are in keeping with the superb costumes and scenic investment of the big production. As to principals, they are all of the most satisfactory type and handle the splendid material furnished them in the book of Allen Spencer Tenny in a finished manner that leaves nothing to be desired. Heading the list are Pat White and Manny King, two very clever comedians. Pat White, together with his trick dog, Jack, leaves never a dull moment while they are on the stage, while Mr. King not only is a very amusing comedian, but a splendid violinist as well. Kitty Madison is a lively dancing soubrette with plenty of pep. Burton Carr, last season with Jack Reid's show, has a pleasing tenor voice and looks well; Nan Palon, the prima donna, who comes direct from vaudeville, is the possessor of a marvelous voice and good looks; Flo Kane is a jazz singer of real merit; Joe Berrett, the character man, can also sing as well as act, while Helen Flynn, a classical dancer who is only eighteen years old, has just finished a season with Geo White's famous "Scandals." Then to round off the bill at the Gavety theatre the producer of "Let's go" offers Sonny Thompson's Entertainers, one of the greatest aggregations of colored singers, dancers and musicians ever seen on the stage. Sunday's matinee starts at 3:00 o'clock. ST. PAUL'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH We are glad to welcome eight members into the Church Sunday night. There are more to follow. One came to us from the Christian Science fold. The pastor will speak Sunday morning from the topic, "The Christian's Birthright—Are We Selling It?" On Sunday evening he will begin a series on the Ten Commandments, the topic next Sunday being the preamble that foundation of all civil laws—"God Spake All These Words." Trouble Enough. A delegation had called on Jones to get him to serve on the house committee of the county club "Gentlemen, I thank you for the honor from the bottom of my heart, but there is nothing doing. I already have a wife, a son-in-law, and a second-hand car, and I think that is trouble enough for one man." Belgium's Agricultural Laborers. One of the surprising features of travel through Belgium is the multitude of small farms and also the intensive cultivation. Before the war, out of less than 7,500,000 acres of total area of 5,000,000 acres were filled. Much of the ground is worked with the hoe and the spade, and no less than one sixth of the people are dressed as agricultural laborers. GAYETY Wk.
