LIFTING LIFT 00 RACE LEADERS IN POLITICAL FIELD UNDER SPOTLIGHT New Faces and Powerful Personalities Loom as Leaders and Gathers Of All Important Negro Vote NUTTER FIGHTING SENATOR New Jersey Furnishing an Exciting Scrap Between Senatorial Candidate and an Attorney (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Sept. 12.—As the 1924 presidential campaign swings in way new faces and powerful personalities loom as leaders and gathers of the all important Negro vote. It seems to have been recognized that no one individual can herd the flock of colored sheep and that these lambs are apt to stray into almost any field. Thus every party has turned a listening ear to would-be and potential leaders. Some of the leaders are men of national influence and strong, and some are of state influence and strong. The republican party has Robert L. Vann, Emmett Scott and Robert Church on a "strategy committee" that is supposed to be the real works so far as republican policies and activities in a big way are concerned; has William C. Matthews working hard in the harness to show Negro voters the light anywhere he can and Roscoe Simmons directing a speakers' and publicity bureau. The outstanding feature in connection with all these men is the fact that they have been picked for ability to deliver. They have made themselves felt. There are many strong men who have felt it better not to strike out into the big works but to make themselves powerful and impregnable at home. Such men as Ed Wright and Oscar DePriest of Chicago, the powerful local workers in Ohio and in New York, are numbered among these. One of the most aggressive of these given district leaders is Isaas Nutter, the Atlantic City, New Jersey, lawyer His present fight is in some respects the most interesting now engaging the attention of a colored leader. Nutter is in it up to the neck in the fight to defeat Senator Walter E. Edge's battle for renomination. Nutter wants Hamilton F. Kean. He used to be an Edge lieutenant, but got up in meeting some time ago and told the senator that his fealty was to be no more, that from then on they were enemies and that he was going to do all he could to defeat New Jersey's representative in the upper house. The battle between the two men is somewhat personal. Nutter claims that Edge has persecuted him because he has fought for a square deal for colored people. He makes the charge that Edge is not sincere and that he is neglectful of his promises to colored voters. It is charged that Edge egged his lieutenants on to get Nutter disbarred from practice in New Jersey courts. First Edge tried to ruin Nutter and now Nutter is out after Edge. Now it is all a matter of who is the strongest man in New Jersey, the present United States senator or the fighting Negro lawyer. There will be a decision before long. White votes in the mosquito state are about evenly divided as between the two major parties. The candidate that wins the Negro votes usually wins the election. Nutter through a smoothly working state machine has been corralling the Negro vote for Kean. It now begins to look like a Kean landslide. The Negroes know Nutter and they are out to vindicate him of the charges Edge's lieutenants pestered him with. Should Edge win the nomination this month, Nutter does not intend to give up. He's going right on working for another candidate until November. He means to beat his antagonist. No other state in the Union presents a situation so fraught with big possibilities. Nutter may turn out to be the biggest mosquito, white or black, in the state of New Jersey. ST. LOUIS HOSPITAL IS OVERCROWDED St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 12—City Hospital No. 2 for colored patients is badly overcrowded. With space sufficient for only 110 beds, 220 beds are crowded in and the average daily number of patients is 244. The city appropriated over a million dollars for a new colored hospital. RUTH WHITEHEAD WHALEY New York, Sept. 12.-Mrs. Ruth Whitehead Whaley, who was denied a law diploma by Fordham University on the ground that she alleged case prejudice in the school successfully passed the New York bar examination last week and has been admitted to practice. THE MONITOR SOUTHERN WHITE MAN WRITES FRANKLY OF SOUTHERN OLIGARCHY (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) William H. Skaggs, a white Alabamian, has just had published by the Devin-Adair Company of New York, "The Southern Oligarchy", which is certain to attract considerable attention and to arouse widespread controversy. The nature of the book can be gained from its subtitle wwnen reads, "An Appeal in Behalf of the Silent Masses of Our Country Against the Despotic Rule of the Few." The purpose of Mr. Skaggs is stated in the very first paragraph of the first chapter where he says: "The purpose of this book is the presentation of facts relating to the policies and practices of an Oligarchy by which the Southern States of America have been ruled for more than forty years; and also a survey of the resultant evils of such policies and practices." Mr. Skaggs discusses peonage, disfranchisement, lynchings, race proscription, the chain gang system, child labor, the Ku Klux Klan, financial delinquencies of Southern States in repudiation of their just debts, and other corrupt practices. From his own personal experience and knowledge he reveals hitherto unknown facts relative to the decay of civilization in the Southern States. These revelations will be of great interest to colored readers although all of Mr. Skaggs conclusions may not be agreed with. SOUTHERN PASTOR POPULAR PULPIT SUMMER SUPPLY Canadian Congregation Makes Generous Gift to Work of Successful Arkansas Minister (By the Associated Negro Press) Hot Springs, Ark., Sept. 12.—In appreciation of his work among them, the Canadian parishioners of the Rev. Joseph T. Hill, one of the leading pastors of this city, who has for a number of years accepted a summer charge at Winnipeg, Canada, gave him this year $1,000 to be used in his work in America. This was in addition to personal gifts which have come to the clergyman from time to time. Dr. Hill's services are employed at Zion Methodist church, the oldest white Methodist church in western Canada. During the summer months he takes the pulpit of the Rev. R. J. Johns. His coming to Winnipeg each summer has come to be more and more of an attraction, the summer Sunday meetings always ovrtaxing the capacity of the church. He has just returned to this city for a stay, preparatory to returning to the Canadian city and serving as the chief speaker during the golden anniversary celebration of the church. On the last Sunday before he left 2,000 persons were turned from the church door. The large congregation is due in some measure to the fact that many of the churches in the city suspend services in order that their congregations may hear "the wonderful preacher from America." Canadian newspaper writers have vied with one another in an effort to describe the almost magic personality and the marvelous learning of Dr. Hill. Columns in the dailies have been devoted to descriptions of his work and influence. DEPARTMENT STORE FOR PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 12. — The Gardner-Williams Corporation reports important progress made toward the selection of permanent headquarters for the Negro department store, which the corporation plans to open in the fall. This is important when it is taken into consideration that Negroes in Philadelphia, numbering close to 160,000 spend yearly approximately $15,000,000. GEORGE P. STEWART, RECORDER EDITOR DEAD (By the Associated Negro Press) Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 12.—George P. Stewart, founder and owner of "The Indianapolis Recorder", is dead here, after an illness of several months. Mr. Stewart established "The Recorder" more than 27 years ago, and it is one of the most influential newspapers of the middle west. He was active in politics and fraternal circles and leaves a wife and two children. WOMEN VOTERS CALLED TO ACTION (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Sept. 12.—Miss Hallie Q. Brown, director of colored women voters, has issued a call to action for the women of America. Miss Brown urges that "clubs, classes, schools for first voters be opened in every district and precinct." Especially are the young women urged to action in all of the states. "The timid, the negligent, the stay-at-homes are the ones who defeat a ticket," says the call. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1924 SCIPIO A. JONES ELECTED CHANCELLOR IN ARKANSAS COURT Little Rock, Ark., Sep. 12.—Scipio A. Jones, prominent colored attorney, was elected as special chancellor in the Pulaski chancery court, Arkansas, the second highest court in that state, on Saturday, August 30th, according to a telegram to Mr. William Pickens, made public today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, New York. This is the first time in the history of the south, so far as is known, and possibly in the United States, that such an honor has been paid a Negro lawyer. Mr. Jones has had an eminently successful career as a member of the Arkansas bar, his outstanding achievement being the successful defense of the victims of the Phillips county, Arkansas riots of October, 1919, in which cases Mr. Jones was the principal attorney for the N. A. A. C. P. These cases were fought doggedly by Mr. Jones through all of the Arkansas courts and through the United States Supreme court where he was associated with Mr. Moorfield Storey. These cases, it will be remembered, established a new precedent in American legal procedure in that the decision gained in the United States Supreme court acted not only as a reversal of the Arkansas court but, in effect, was a reversal of the Supreme court itself. ANTI-SOUTHERN BOOK IS BARRED FROM BOSTON LIBRARY "By Sanction of Law", a Story Based Upon Colored Blood in White Family Considered Too Sensational Boston, Sept. 12.—"By Sanction of Law" has been barred from the Boston public library. The author of the story is Joshua Henry Jones, former newspaper man, now secretary to Mayor Curley and the son of Bishop Joshua Henry Jones. The story of the novel is a tragedy of an aristocratic white family of the South which regards itself as the superior race and looks down on "niggers", only to find out at last that it has colored blood. The hero is a colored boy who attends Harvard and falls in love with a white girl at one of the big finishing schools. They afterward marry. According to the Boston library the book is too sensational to be placed on library shelves. By many reviewers it has already been termed the best novel of the year and a refutation of Dixon, Tillman and Vardaman. WORKMEN'S POLITICAL CLUB GIVES SERIES OF LECTURES The first of a series of lectures given under the auspices of the Workmen's Political Club was held Monday evening in north side branch of Y. W. C. A. A small but interested and enthusiastic number of persons were present. The need of a political educational campaign was evidenced by eager women.

Jawson will be married Wednesday and will enjoy the customary three-day celebration — an old time Polish custom. Declares Hooded Order Outgrowth of Lynching and an Unpardonable Stigma Upon the American People (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) Congressman L. C. Dyer of Missouri, author of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, severely scored the Ku Klux Klan in a speech delivered before the Lions Club of Washington on August 27, characterizing the Klan as an unpardonable stigma upon the American people, and an outgrowth of the lynchings era in the United States. After telling in detail of the growth of lynchings in the United States and exploding the myth that all lynchings are caused by "the usual crime" Mr. Dyer declared: "Out of this era of lynching has grown this terrible stigma upon the American people, the Ku Klux Klan, which is persecuting people upon no other grounds than that of racial and religious prejudice. They have flouted our American laws and taken them into their own hands. If this nation is to endure we must put a stop to this menace." Mr. Dyer made a strong plea for the establishment of fraternal societies which would act to wipe out racial and religious prejudices, especially in the national capital. His plea, according to the Washington press, mache a profund impression upon the members of the Lions Club. Mr. Dyer spoke at the regular weekly luncheon of the club held at the Willard Hotel.

Her husband, who was in Portugal, came here and claimed the body. JOHNSON ANSWERS NEW YORK SUN ATTACK ON VILLARD SPEECH ON HAITI (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) New York, Sept. 12.—James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who made the first investigation and expose in 1920 of the American occupation of Haiti, has made public the text of a letter he has written to the New York Sun in reply to an editorial printed in that paper on August 28th which attacked Oswald Garrison Villard for declaring before the Institute of Politics at Williamstown, Miss., that "the blood of 3,000 Haitians slain by our American Marines * * * dishonors our good name." The Sun declares edutynor that Mr. Villard was wrong in that only 1,132 Haitians were slain and further charged that these were bandits killed by the marines. Mr. Johnson points out that Major-General George Barnett, former commander of the Marines in Haiti, admitted on October 23, 1920, that 3,250 Haitians were killed and that he further "regretted to report" that there "were many unlawful and indiscriminate killings." Mr. Johnson also pointed out that these slain Haitians were not bandits for they were fighting against the unlawful seizure of their country and further declared that "the America of 1776 would have called them patriots, not bandits." COLORED ATTORNEY WINS $20,000 SUIT SOUTHERN COURT Supreme Court Finally Settles Case Which Has Dragged Along for More Than Ten Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 12.—The $20,000 suit of A. W. Cockrell, Jr., white, a lawyer, against S. D. McGill, a race lawyer, was settled for $5,000 this week. The case has been in the courts for ten years. Cockrell's suit was for $20,000 he alleges was the amount of his fee for settling an estate of the McGills which amounted to $100,000. The case was fought repeatedly through the lower courts and each time the colored attorney lost. Finally, however, he appealed to the Supreme Court which held that the fee was "unreasonable and excessive except to the amount of $5,000." McGill acted as his own attorney. WARNING AGAINST PRESERVING COMPOUNDS (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Sept. 12.—Canning powders and preserving compounds are very likely to prove injurious to the health, chemists of the United States Department of Agriculture announced recently. The chemists, who have been carrying on a special investigation of those preparations, say that they usually contain salicylic or boric acid. While salicylic acid is useful as a medicine in certain diseases, its excessive use in canned goods might lead to serious disturbance of the health, it is said. Boric acid is recognized under the pure food act as being harmful to health, and while it possesses some antiseptic power, the chemists do not think it is safe to depend upon it alone to check the growth of harmful bacteria in foods. The safest method to prepare fruits and vegetables for canning or preserving, it is said, is to sterilize them properly. SOCIALISTS ENGAGE COLORED ORATOR (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago., Ill., Sept. 12. The Socialist party, backing Robert M. LaFollette in his fight for the presidency, has engaged Ross D. Brown, prominent orator and Socialist organizer, to carry a campaign in Bob's behalf into Pittsburgh, Penn., and Buffalo, N. Y. BASEBALL SOON CLOSES Baseball fans and fanettes will have their last holiday opportunity of watching the Omaha ball club in action Sunday afternoon when they meet Oklahoma City in a double header. The same teams' will meet Saturday and St. Joe and the home club are playing a double header this afternoon. A great crowd should be in their seats for the remaining seven games of the season on the home grounds. This will inspire the players and have great bearing on the outcome of the race in the Western League. It begins to look as if the fight has simmered down to Omaha and Denver as Tulsa is trailing Denver by 49 points. Whole Number 479 STEEL CORPORATION WELFARE WORK Chicago, Ill., Sept. 12.—In a recent bulletin issued by the United States Steel Corporation which, big as it is, is rather anonymous with the work of Judge Elbert Gary, president of its board of directors, is found excellent pen and picture description of the work undertaken by the different branches of the corporation to insure the sanitation of its plants and the safety and welfare of its employees. It is interesting to note that there are thousands of Negroes employed by the corporation who are receiving the same benefits that come to the white workers. Some of the pictures seem identical with the same sort of work done in colored schools. Whereas there are corporation employees among the Negroes in the north, most of its colored help, to judge from the bulletin, is in Alabama, where there are hospitals, schools, all sorts of recreational facilities, home-buying societies and a general spirit of progress. Among the plants where such excellent provisions are made for Negro employees are the Duquesne Works of the Carnegie Steel company, the Edgar Thomson Works, where Earl Johnson, United States Olympic distance runner is a member of the track team; the United States Coal and Coke company, Gary, W. Va.; the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad company, Muscoa and Bayview, Ala., and the Gary, Indiana works. The welfare activities take in the entire family of the worker. There are canning and swing clubs for the women. There are games for the children. There are pageants for the grown-ups, athletics, schools, prizegardening projects and all the other features of welfare work that find most favor with social workers. MAJOR JOHN R. LYNCH IS STAUNCH SUPPORTER OF CALVIN COOLIDG! The Grand Old Gentleman Whose Words Always Command Attention Places President With Roosevelt Chicago, Sept. 12.—Major John R. Lynch, U. S. A., retired and former congressman, in an exclusive statement for the Associated Negro Press, has declared strongly for President Coolidge for president. "Coolidge is the best president this country has had since Lincoln and Roosevelt," said Major Lynch, an active republican for more than a quarter of a century. Asked his opinion about Davis he said: "Davis is too good a man to be a democrat, and no democrat is bigger than his party. Grover Cleveland was a fair man, but he could not do anything with the democrats of the south. That is the big point colored republicans must remember when they are tempted to vote for a democrat for president. The democrats of the south control everything nationally, and they do not propose to deal with colored citizens." Things are humming at the republican headquarters, where there is genuine co-operation and interest in working for the welfare of the voters. Announcement has been made by the colored division of the republican national committee, that a fund of $50,000 will be raised by colored voters as a practical demonstration of interest in the results of the election. It is reported that a number of substantial contributions have already been made to the national committee. "We must share the responsibility of the campaign expense along with all other good republicans," said an official, "and in this way we will share the respect and consideration of all others." MAJOR LOVING PASSES THROUGH OUR CITY Last Saturday night Major and Mrs. Walter H. Loving and their son, Walter H., Jr., passed through Omaha en route to Washington, D. C. where Major Loving, famous band leader, was called on official business. Omahans will remember Mrs. Loving as Edith McCary, daughter of M. M. McCary, who was Major Lynch's clerk during the time he was stationed here as paymaster. Major and Mrs. Loving hope to visit Omaha friends on their way west. N. W. C. A.

GROWING THANK YOU Vol. X—No. 11 FORMER ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL DESERTS HIS PARTY Massachusetts Republican Leader, Formerly Coolidge Partisan, Somersaults Into Davis Ring CLAIMS KLAN TO BE IN CONTROL Lewis Declares That the Republican Party Is for and Democrats Against the Hooded Menace Boston, Mass., Sept. 12.—William H. Lewis, former Assistant Attorney General of the United States, and hitherto regarded as an admirer and warm personal friend of President Coolidge, has declared his intention of supporting Davis and Bryan instead of Coolidge and Dawes. He states that he is for Davis because of his outspoken opposition to the Klan, while Coolidge remains silent on this great menace to American institutions and principles. Lewis, who is a graduate of Amherst College of Coolidge is also an alumnus, and of Harvard Law School, where he won fame as a football star, is one of the prominent and outstanding lawyers and republican leaders in the Old Bay State. At the National Republican convention in Chicago, four years ago, he was an enthusiastic Coolidge partisan and worked earnestly for his nomination. He has been a visitor at the White House since Coolidge has been its distinguished occupant. His desertion of the party at whose hands he has received honor is a cause of great surprise and in some quarters is viewed with suspicion. Lewis claims that the Republican party has deserved the ideals of Lincoln, Grant and Roosevelt and is now the party of the Klan, while the Democratic party is its outspoken opponent. Mr. Lewis gives out the following statement as his reasons for supporting Davis: "As a colored American, I propose to vote for Mr. Davis because he is opposed to the Ku Klux Klan, the greatest menace to American democracy today. It has raised the standard of religious bigotry, race hatred, and is striving with might and main for the control of the American government, to administer it in the interest of one group of Americans. It is aimed first at the Negro, then at the Jew, then at the Irishman, and the Catholic, and finally it has set its hand against all foreign born, as if any man had the say as to the race in which he should be born or in what country. "There are colored men now living who remember the Ku Klux Klan of another day. It came into being to put the colored voter and citizen out of business. Intimidation, coercion, riot and murder, were there not? Fifty years ago the Democratic party was the Ku Klux party. Today the Republican party is the Ku Klux party. "The debate of the Ku Klux Klan in the Democratic convention was the most refreshing and wholesome thing that has taken place in American politics in a quarter of a century. Mr. Davis has taken his stand upon that issue, and I propose to stand with him." "The Republican candidate for President has said nothing up to now as to whether he stands for the Klan or against it. Is the Republican party afraid to take a stand against the Ku Klux Klan? Is it still the party of Lincoln, of Grant and Roosevelt? "I see no way of putting down the Ku Klux Klan except through the instrumentality of the Democratic party. All that has been accomplished in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas has been the work of the Democratic party. I propose to join with the great majority of Americans, including the Irish Catholic, the Jew and the foreign born, not only in the interest of self preservation, but in the interest of my country." PRESIDENT OF LINCOLN UNIVERSITY DIES (By the Associated Negro Press Lincoln University, Pa., Sept. 12. Rev. J. B. Randall, president of Lincoln University, one of the best known institutions in America for the Education of colored youths, is dead here. (By the Associated Negro Press) Altoona, Pa., Sept. 12.—The management of the Strand theatre, recently played "The Flapper". In connection with exploiting the picture a voting contest was held as to the most popular hairdresser in the city. Mrs. Grace Scott, a colored woman, was the winner.

THE BALANCE OF POWER NEWSPAPERS are calling attention to the fact that the vote of colored Americans is the determining factor in all of the northern states, certainly in the pivotal ones. This has been true in several states for many years. It is true of Nebraska where our numbers are comparatively small. It has been true here for many years, but we have failed to take advantage of it. Concentrated and intelligently directed it should be used as a fulcrum for securing greater recognition in governmental affairs and granting us full enjoyment of our civil rights, which even in the hither-to-fair-minded states are being gradually restricted. We hold the balance of power in Omaha and in Nebraska. How shall we use it? Nebraska is one of the doubtful states. Our vote thrown to either side will swing the state into that column. We hope the republicans will not feel so secure in the support of our people in this campaign that they will think it unnecessary to undertake any work among us. THE BOLT OF LEWIS the national prestige of the republican party, so far as our race is concerned, is the bolt of William H. Lewis, the brilliant Boston lawyer, former classmate and warm personal friend of Calvin Coolidge. Lewis has declared for Davis. He points to the fair record of the West Virginian on race matters and his open stand against the Klan as cogent reasons why he intends to support him. Among the younger men of college training Lewis has a large and enthusiastic following. His action cannot do otherwise than have an important influence upon them. That Lewis is A PRAYER FOR DELI PREJ By Morne (For the Associa GOD, who hast made n who dost love all whom because of difference a separate ourselves from other teach as the unity of Thy f Thy love.

As Thy Son, our Savior, was born of an Hebrew mother and ministered first to His brethren of the House of Israel, but rejoiced in the faith of a Syro-Phoenician woman and of a Roman soldier, and suffered His cross to be carried by a man of Africa, teach us, also, while loving and serving our own, to enter into the communion of the whole human family; and forbid that, from pride of birth and hardness of heart, we should despise any for whom Christ died, or injure any in whom He lives.

No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person final protection of the laws. a man of outstanding ability cannot be denied. It will be a great mistake for political leaders to conclude that Lewis' defection is a small matter. His bolt and that of others shows a growing spirit of independent thinking and voting upon the part of many of the younger and middle-aged men of the race. At the national republican convention in Chicago four years ago, Lewis was rooted for Coolidge's nomination as enthusiastically as Coolidge had rooted for Lewis when clad in moleskins he was bucking the line for their alma mater. His bolt is a startling surprise. SUPPORT COOLIDGE WE BELIEVE that the best interests of our people lie in supporting Calvin Coolidge. We do not think that we can better ourselves by supporting either LaFollette or Davis. We could count on a square deal from LaFollette, but he has no chance or election. His plan is to throw the election into the House and that would give us a fine kettle of fish. Have faith in Coolidge. CAN HE SWING HIS PARTY? PERSONALLY we admit that we are an admirer of Davis. We appreciate his stand in West Virginia against the Jim Crow car law and other anti racial legislation. But despite his excellent record in this guard and his personal desire and intention of doing the square thing by all Americans we question his ability, strong as he is, to impress his broad-mindedness upon the democratic party, the stronghold of which is in the south and its chief stock in trade opposition, open, frank and uncompromising to the constitutional rights of the Negro. Davis, the man, is all right, but his party has always been VERANCE FROM RACE UDICE by Williams tated Negro Press) man in Thine own likeness and Thou hast made, suffer us not, in race, color or condition, to wrong in its attitude towards our people. This is unquestionably true of the democratic party in the south and it swings the party nationally. Personal admiration for Davis, the man, must not blind us to the traditionally unfair attitude towards our people of the large mass of his party which stands behind him. Can he swing his party? Can the leopard change his spots or the Ethiopian his skin? INJURED IN RUNAWAY CAR Mrs. Charles H. Stanton of Twenty-sixth and Erskine was injured by being thrown from her seat in the runaway street car which crashed into an automobile at Sixteenth and Cuming street, killing a little girl and seriously injuring two other persons Saturday afternoon.

HOLDS MEETING The Omaha Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. held an interesting meeting last Sunday afternoon at the North End "Y". Rev. John Albert Williams presided.

Dead birds, es peciaily waterfowl, whenever avail- able are greedily devoured, as many observations prove.” ‘Unfortunately, scientists point out, ‘the bald eagle's fondness for mammal flesh leads it to attack domestic ant- mals. This happens rarely to the larger kinds. though a sickly or weak- ‘Ming calf may once in a while be killed ; but sheep and hogs in some places suffer considerably. Full-grown healthy sheep are seldom killed, the attacks being confined principally to sick or weakly animals and to lambs.

These changes will be made between now and next Janu- ary, the beginning of the jubilee year. During 1925 Rome expects between 1,000,000 and 3,000,000 pilgrims. ‘The greatest needs of these visitors will be for housing accommodations, food and means of transport. Both the Vatican and the municipal- tty are ceding ground on favorable terms on which are being erected bulldings sultable for future use as hotels. The Vatican especially is con- sidering the needs of the poorer pil grims, for whom large barrack-like houses will be provided, where all, however small their means, may have shelter and a reasonable amount of comfort. ‘The population of Rome has grown from the 250,000 in 1870 to about 1,- 000,000 today. When Rome became the capital an excellent system of drainage was In- stalled, but the increase of population has necessitated its enlargement, and this year alterations and improvements on # huge scale are being carried out. Half the roads of Rome have been relaid this winter and the other half fare awalting their turn to be dug up. In preparation for holy year a large number of new lines of trams and autobusses will link together those al- ready existing, in order that pilgrims may easily visit the distant basilleas and do as much sightseeing as is pos- sible in the intervals of their religious exercises.

On account of the illness of Mrs. Spriggs, president of the Women’s Missionary Society, the program which was to have been rendered Sunday night was for the most part deferred to a later date. ‘The Sunday School having assumed responsibility for the lighting of the church, Mrs. Johnson, the faithful superintedent, is making a financial drive to that end. ‘The Christian Endeavorers, Miss Anna Speese, president, will render a special program Sunday evening. ‘The morning sermon topic will be, “Mobilization for the Defense of Souls.” ‘LEGAL NOTICE To CLEVE WARDEN, NON-RESID- ENT DEFENDANT: You are hereby notified that on the %th day of May, 1924, Dora Warden filed a petition in the District Court of Douglas county, Nebraska, against you, the object and prayer of which are to obtain a divorce from you on the grotind of desertion. ‘You are required to answer said pe- tition on or before the 20th day of October, 1924.
