M. WAYNE ELSWORTH SAWTELL, ATTORNEY Who is one of the city's most brilliant lawyers. Thorough in preparation, he is a hard, relentless fighter, who never relishes a defeat, and never accepts one until every point of law has been unsuccessfully brought to bear upon his client's case. He is clean and honest. Lawyer Sawtell is a product of Iowa, having been born, raised and educated in Des Moines. He finished law from Des Moines University in 1910, coming to this city two years afterwards where he has been located ever since in the Omaha National Bank building. He has been attorney for the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories ever since it has been organized. SPLENDID SERVICE BRINGS HONORS TO A COLORED DOCTOR SPLENDID SERVICE BRINGS HONORS TO A COLORED DOCTOR Dr. S. B. Jones Received Distinguished Decoration from King George—Was Former Teacher in U. S. Schools London, Sept. 18.—Dr. S. B. Jones, who received his medical education in the United States, has been awarded by King George the Order of Member of the British Empire in recognition of meritorious services rendered in combating a smallpox epidemic in the British West Indies in 1923. Dr. Jones, who is medical officer, magistrate and coroner at Anguilla, Leeward Islands, West Indies, attended investiture in Buckingham Palace, appearing before King George to receive one of the British ruler's birthday honors. When an epidemic of smallpox swept the Leeward Islands Dr. Jones used wholesale vaccination to check the disease—a plan introduced in North Carolina several years ago by Dr. W. S. Rankin of the state board of health, which was a departure from isolating patients and those exposed to smallpox. Dr. Jones' method was so successful as to attract the attention of medical authorities in England. Several months ago he came to London to take a post-graduate course and while here he received notice he would be honored by the King. Dr. Jones received his early education in the government schools of the West Indies. He went to the United States shortly after being graduated from Harrison college, Barbados, West Indies. He stayed in New York several weeks, deciding to live in the South. For two years he taught at Shaw University, four years at St. Augustine's Episcopal College, Raleigh, N. C., then studied medicine at Loyola University, Chicago. In 1915 he became head of the Department of English at the Agricultural and Technical College, Greensboro, N. C., and also served as college physician. In 1916 Dr. Jones married the daughter of Dr. James B. Dudley, the institution's president. In 1917 he returned to the British West Indies with his wife and became connected with the British medical service there. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH 22nd and Grant Sts. Rev, W. F.

THE MONITOR WESLEY GIVEN STAY FROM ELECTRIC CHAIR Colored Man Will Be Sent to Sanitarium for Insane—Was to Be Electrocuted Sept. 26 Sol Wesley, Omaha Negro, will not die September 26 for the murder of W. M. Deerson. District Judge Coss Wednesday issued an order postponing the execution "till the further order of the court". Wesley began acting abnormally several weeks ago and since then has not spoken a word. Judge Goss was summoned by Warden Fenton. He called into consultation a committee of experts consisting of Drs. W. S. Fast, D. G. Griffith and George E. Charlton, superintendents of the three state hospitals for the insane. They reported to the judge that Wesley is "mentally inaccessible" because he will not talk or answer questions, but sits gazing into space, clasping a Bible to his breast. They are unable to determine whether or not he is sane. Wesley is to be observed in the future and when the doctors decide he is sane they will report to the judge, who will then again impose the death penalty. Wesley was convicted of the murder of W. M. Deerson of Lodge Pole, Neb., in a grocery store at 3824 Seward street. Sentence of his companion in the attempted robbery of the store, LeRoy Mauldron, was commuted to life imprisonment. ST. PAUL'S NOTES Attendance and interest in our services seem to indicate a new spirit of work for the Master's kingdom. Under the leadership of Superintendent Mrs. M. A. Johnson the Sunday school rallied Sunday with a substantial addition to its treasury. The program of the Christian Endeavor Sunday evening was conducted by Miss Ethel Speese and was exceptionally helpful and inspirational. Especially commendable were the readings of the Misses Anna and Ethel Speese. By urgent request the Speese brothers male quartet gave a selection and though they have not sung together for some time it was demonstrated that they are capable of adding much to the musical resources of our city. This quartet and the Taylor quartet will combine in a male voice double quartet for the service Sunday night, which will be in special behalf of men, with one of our professional men as principle speaker. Mr. J. S. Speese has consented to read "The Missionary Collection." Dont fail to hear this. The pastors morning topic will be "Joshua and Caleb, or the Possibilities of Faith and Courage." Rev. P. M. Harris, a well known business man on the South Side, and wife were both quite sick last week but are better at this writing. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1924 THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BAPTIST ENTERPRISE PASSES THE QUARTER MILLION DOLLAR MARK BAPTIST ENTERPRISE PASSES THE QUARTER MILLION DOLLAR MARK National Baptist Publishing Board Through Its Secretary Makes a Big Chicago, Ill., Eighth Regiment Armory, Sept. 18.—Special to The Monitor.—More than a quarter of a million dollars worth of business for the fiscal year wash reported by the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board of the National Baptist convention. In addition to this, the value of the plant representing more than a million dollars was handed over to the convention in a statement of the secretary who gave a resume of the full year's work. Twenty-five thousand dollars worth of improvements were made, one hundred thousand copies of standard books, and ten million copies of the Sunday school periodicals were manufactured and printed in 1924 at the close of the fiscal year. The plant as shown in the secretary's report, covers the biggest investment and is regarded as a Rock of Gibraltar in denamination efforts. It was founded by the late R. H. Boyd, who established it in 1896, and who was its guiding hand until he passed to the Great Beyond. He was then succeeded by his oldest son, Henry Allen Boyd, who made to the Board this year, his second annual report. One of the features of the report was the humanitarian side of the work of the Publishing Board's report, connected with the religious activities, is that each employee is insured for $500.00 and the beneficiary of this insurance is named by the employee independent of the National Baptist Publishing Board and yet the Board pays the premium. The secretary showed that this is a kind of a bonus in advance. The editorial work extension work, Sunday school missions, new building program, with new feautres and new periodicals to be added cover a scope of the work outside of the financial statement, prepared by the Homer K. Jones, (certified accountants) accompanied by a complete appraisal from the Lloyd Appraisal Bureau; the two substantiating the statement that the Negro Baptists were holding in the National Baptist Publishing Board's plant, an institution valued at a million dollars. It was the biggest report and showed the largest holding of any institution owned by any Negro denamination in the world. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Twenty-fifth and R Streets—MA. 4375. O. J.

He also states that an experienced flyer would not have his plane wrecked by the ray without some sort of a struggle. Refugee Family Tells Norfolk, Va.—Deprived of their ranch and property accumulated in 19 years of hard work and forced by the Mexican revolution to flee pennilless and without food, Wilhelm von Waldenfels and his family of four have arrived here en route to Germany. They brought a harrowing tale of flight from their home in the interior of Tabasco, a 48-hour trip down the Grijalva river to Frontera in a dilapidated sailboat steered by a Mexican girl; of lost direction and the piling of the craft on the rocks and the fight against drowning and, finally, of the long journey afoot from Frontera to Vera Cruz. At Vera Cruz the refugees, hungry and sick, had their first bit of good luck in the presence in the harbor of a steamer. They had no money, but Captain Grashoff, a fellow countryman, waved aside the question of passage. Declares New Glands Give Sheep More Wool Liege, Belgium—Dr. Serge Voronoff, famous French surgeon, addressing a scientific congress here, claimed it would be possible to increase the yield of wool by applying his gland transplantation operation to sheep. Although the operation cannot be performed successfully on all sheep, he said, he hoped to be able to create a special breed by operation on the direct descendants of a certain number of picked specimens. The experiment was already being made, he announced, on a flock of 3,000 sheep in Algeria, and also on a number of goats.

COLORED CITIZENS OF DAYTON, OHIO RESENT SEGREGATION COLORED CITIZENS OF DAYTON, OHIO RESENT SEGREGATION Children Refuse to Go to Basement for Instruction and Are Fully Backed by Parents Dayton, Ohio, Sept. 18.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Colored school children staging a strike protest against a segregation order of the school board is causing no end of excitement and indignation in this usually quiet burg. "The Basement for Colored Children" has been met by a square, "We won't go in to the basement for the school board or anybody else," by the colored children who are be steadfastly backed by the insistence of their parents that the order is grossly unfair and totally at variance with the laws governing the attendance of children in the public schools of the city. It is admitted on all sides that the colored people have assumed a dignified and forceful attitude toward the question. They have backed up their verbal protests by filling a written protest to the board. This document is dated Dayton, Ohio, August 3rd, 1924. To the Board of Education of Dayton Public Schools: Hon. W. D. Blak, president; Prof. Paul C. Stetson, Superintendent, greeting: We the parents and representatives of that part of the citizenship of Dayton called the "colored group", herewith assembled, arise to protest against the establishment of four new rooms for colored children in the Willard District. These rooms in positive segregation are proposed, designated and ordered, are now assembled in the basement of what is commonly known as the Willard School.

Whole Number 480 NATIONAL RACE CONVENTION TO UNITE COLORED VOTE "BR" To Be Held in Brooklyn October 9 National Equal Rights League Seeks Unity in Campaign Demands Boston, Mass., Sept. 18, 1924.—An opportunity for the colored citizens of the United States to assemble in a national conference of their own racial element independently of any one else to deliberate upon the most effective methods of using the present potential ballot power of the race to secure redress, is to be afforded by the National Equal Rights League at its annual meeting in Brooklyn, N. Y., October 9. The main object of this seventeenth annual meeting of the League will be to have the race endeavor to unite upon a race demand or program 10r rights and protection now denied, and upon how to do most with the ballot power of the race in this unusual political campaign to make assured headway for successful results, in view of the three-party contest with unprecedented division of the colored vote. Every race body from every community is to be invited to send delegates, to sit on equality with regular league delegates, but it is especially urged that in every town, county or city Equal Rights Committees or Branch League be organized at once to agitate this Race Conference and send representatives. Any desired information will be furnished by National Headquarters, 103 Court street, Boston, Mass. AUSTRALIA BARS COLORED IMMIGRANTS (Special to the Monitor) Sidney, Australia, Sept. 18.—The bar against Negro and Asiatic immigrants to Australia known as the "Australia White Policy Act" is now being rigidly enforced. The law has for its sole object the preserving of that rich country for the white settlers' benefit. The whites there feel that their safety lies in the keeping of th native Negroes in subjection. This they fear they cannot do if they allow those who have a blood interest in the natives tell the natives of the injustice that is being done them. Australia and New Zealand are British possessions which were inhabited originally by strong and fierce tribes of Negroes. In order to gain foothold on the island it was "necessary" to kill off many of them. This was done. (Australia to England is like Congo was to Belgium. Leopold reduced the natives from 40,000,000 to 27,000,000 that they might be "more wieldy."—Editor.) ST. PHILIP'S NOTES There will be the usual services at St. Philip's on Sunday. Bishop McElwain of the diocese of Minnesota, one of the visiting bishops to the synod, which convenes here beginning Sunday and lasting to Thursday, has been assigned to St. Philip's. Public invited. Come and hear him. Mr. Eddie Harington and Dora Combs were married at Council Bluffs Saturday. The South Omahans wish them a pleasant voyage through life.

GROWING THANK YOU "BROWN PANTHER" CONQUERS THE "PAMPAS BULL" Eighty Thousand Witnessed Colored Man Triumph Over White Hope—Wills Was Easily the Best Man. Jersey City, N. J., Sept. 18.—Harry Wills, the "Brown Panther" won from Firpo, the "Pampus Bull" in their bout at Boyle's Thirty Acres. It is estimated that 80,000 persons witnessed the contest. Firpo was the first to climb into the ring. He wore his famous checkered bath robe and limbered up in his corner during the few minutes interval before Wills climbed into the ring. Both were the target for a battery of cameraman while he gloves were fastened on. Firpo was accompanied by Dan Washington, his veteran Negro trainer and Bill Tate, while Paddy Mullens, manager of Wills headed a group of Wills handlers. Promoter Richard's forecast of an $800,000 gate came true. The colored fighter will receive $250,000 for his share of the receipts and will have the right to demand a match with Champion Jack Dempsey. Wills knocked Firpo down in the fourth round for a count of four. Services for Sunday will be: The Rev. W. A. m. C. Hughes preaches at 11 a. m.

"WOE UNTO YOU SCRIBES, PHAR- ISEEES, HYPOCRITES" THE great founder of the Christian religion had utter disdain for any and all forms of pretensions in profession, but above all he despised that class of people who paraded under the guise of "reformers". Those who placed their own estimate on their personal character and worth. These He called scribes, pharisees and hypocrites. And He denounced them as "blind guides," "whited sepulchres." Unfortunately for society today, we have far too many of that pharisee type of so-called "reformers" who try to thrust their own wills and moral standards upon other people. They attempt to regulate the conduct of the home and fireside. They arrogate to themselves authority over governments, religion and courts. The chief of these is the hooded order directed by Kloaked Kleagles and sheeted knights. A noted example of this nefarious activity was exhibited in Newark, N. J., on the eve of the Wills-Firpo contest, Sept. 11. After failing to force the color line by all other means, representatives of this order appeared before Federal Judge Runyon of the Newark district seeking a warrant for the arrest of Firpo, obviously for the purpose of getting possession of him for sufficient time to block the fight. The judge was quick to see through the scheme and bluntly denied the request, and the fight went off as per schedule, leaving society no worse off than it would have been had the affair never happened. "For ye are like unto white pulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but are within full of dead men's bones and of all uncleann."

THE WILLS-FIRPO CONTEST By winning a clean cut decision over Firpo last Thursday at Boyles Thirty Acres, Harry Wills has at last fought his way through every con- ceivable obstacle to a logical chance at the world's heavyweight crown which is perched tremblingly upon the head of Jack Dempsey. Like his predecessor of ebony hue, Wills had a long and hungry struggle to get in direct line for the title. The result was not altogether surprising to those who know Wills. He is a clean fellow. He patiently swallowed all the insults that were heaped upo nhim by colorline artists and fought his way out. In addition to his undisputed right to challenge Dempsey, his last fight netted him the largest sum of money he ever gained from a single engagement. The Monitor is no fight promoter, but it extends its best wishes to Wills for the splendid way in which he acquitted himself, and hopes that he will maintain his newly acquired success with the same honor and credit he has done in the past. SCIPIO JONES AND THE ARKANS SAS CHANCERY IT IS with profound congratulation that we note the election of Scipio Jones to the second highest court of the southern state of Arkansas. It is a signal honor which comes to few, if any, of our group in Dixie. Surely it was from shear force of merit that a colored man has been honored thus in that section of the country. That Judge Jones has quite sufficient preparation and ability to fill his new position with credit to those who thus honor him, is not doubted in the least by any of us who know the man. Actual merit will sooner or later force its way to recognition regardless of where and i nwhom found. VERANCE FROM RACE UDICE by Williams ated Negro Press) man in Thine own likeness and Thou hast made, suffer us not, The Monitor wishes for Judge Jones every success that may come from faithful and laudable services in the performance of his duties, and adds its expression of absolute confidence in his ability to do the same.

SOUTH SIDE NEWS A musical tea given at Allen Chapel Monday evening proved to be one of the grandest affairs of the season. Mrs. Sarah Jones under the tutorship of Madam Divers has developed so rapidly as an artist that she is now being styled the "Black Pattie" of Omaha. The musical part of the program was directed by Madam Divers. There was a large, appreciative audience that expressed as being pleased beyond their fondest dreams as to the high class nature of the entertainment and the moral inspiration it; left upon the minds of the people present. Mrs. Ida Riddles is the president of the club that gave the entertainment. Mrs. Rachel Caldwell of Cleveland, O., who came to the city to attend the funeral of her mother, Mrs. Quinny Baldwin, who died very suddenly last week, was a visitor at Allen Chapel Sunday. Miss Elsie Carter has a nice class of pupils in music, if our girls will prepare themselves there will be a way opened for them to apply themselves. We South Siders are proud of Elsie.

Canal Gets Birthday Gift. “President Coolidge recently gave the deserving Panama canal a birth- day present; an executive order put ting aside 22 square miles of add tional country for the Canal Zone. ‘This acquisition will be converted Int a large reservoir to save up the Chagres floods which would otherwise go over the Gatun dam spillway. “The new Alhajuela project wil further increase the size of Gatur lake, which 1s already the largest ar tificlal body of water in the world “Ever since the Panama canal was proposed predictions of its great boor to trade have filled the press.

The tonnage of oils chiefly crude and refined petroleum, passing through from the Pacific te the Atlantic exceeds the total of al other products. “Prom the United States’ industria Fast the Iron and ste! comes and thou sands of tons of other manufacturec products and textiles for South Amer. fea, Australasia, and the Far Exst From there also, come at the rate of more than 100,000 tons in one yea ammonia, cotton, sulphur, cement coal and coke, metals, ores and paper “In the United States the great ar gument for the Panama canal, afte its necessity for defense, was its ad vantage to constwise traffic. Ter years show that the ‘Big Ditch’ fulfills these expectations. Two-thirds o east-bound tonnage from all source Is coastwise traffic. Of the tonnage originating in west-coast states, % per cent Is consigned to east-coas ports, Half of the shipments from th Industrial East totaling one-third o all west-bound traffic is coastal trafic California sends millions of barrel: of oll east via the canal.

Swiftest steamships, special trains for which “speed limits are waived, seaplanes and ‘airplanes participate. “But there is no cheering crowd in the stands, be cause every mile of the race 1s con- ‘cealed with the closest secrecy, ‘The ‘stakes are millions. In 1918, $1 per cent of the United States’ huge silk imports from Japan ‘came in foreign steamers but within two years steamers flying the Ameri ean flag in the Pacific have obtained an important shure of this valuable trade. Why silk is rushed from Yokohama ‘to New York at breack-neck speed, outdistancing the best passenger service, and the thrilling details of this contest against time over the world’s longest race course are told In the following bulletin issued by the National Geographic soctety: Excepting gold and silver bullion, silk probably is the most precious com modity, weight for weight, carried on f@ large seule by commerce, A single special train will bring $5,000,000 worth of silk. Just as it costs dearly to ship money, high charges are put on silk shipments, ‘The saving of two days’ sailing time between Yokohama and Seattle is sald to make w difter fence of 50 cents a bale at New York. Interest on the millions of dollars tied up multiplies at the rate of thousands of dollars a day and, in addition, there Is costly insurance. New Silk Course Record. ‘The world’s record on the Yoko hama-New York silk course was set up a few months ago when the Orient was brought within 18 days, 3 hours and $ minutes of Manhattan. Laden with $5,500,000 worth of raw silk, the President Jackson made Seattle on the niota day. A United States mall seaplane met the liner at Victoria and winged its way to Seattle, 100 miles away. , It brought port ‘docu- ments and forwarded cargo papers to New York before the President Juck- son docked, ‘Special port forces moved the rich consignment in three hours to a spe clal silk train waiting with steam up, The swift Oriental limited passenger trains take 70 hours to reach Chicago; the “reefer,” as the silk special Is known to railroaders, makes It in 60 hours. Twelve cars were required for the President Jackson cargo. With Queen Silk goes a heavy cordon of train guards armed to the teeth. When the treasure train safely reaches New York the shipment is divided quickly among the consignees for stor uuge in warehouses or dispatched te mills in such famous silk towns as Paterson, N. J. or Woonsocket, RL Carried on Mystery Train, Few people know when the “reefer’ fs on the rails. Like a ship of war, 1 virtually runs under sealed orders Railroad divisions seldom know wher it is coming or where it is going un til it and orders arrive. ‘The previous speed record for sil shipments was made when the Prest dent Grant landed a $10,000,000 con signment at Seattle. ‘The “reefer brought this product of billions o caterpillars Into New York in 13 days 4 hours and 55 minutes out of Yoko fama, Night air mall will be a boor to these New York silk merchants. Be fore silk shipments can be releases many papers must be approved ant Inspected. Seattle has one of the tw seaplane mail services in the Unites States, hence Queen Silk will suffer m embarrassment of delay. Night al mall will hasten dispatch of silk ship ment papers to New York so ther will be no slip when the dusty “reef er” reaches the Hudson, Although silk culture originated China and the very name China find: ee ee ee ee ee ae es A, ee Me Cee bes ee Ra, eM AS joes ce Oe, Meee , ; ( OO A : bee Le , , , : aot! { . ae 4 al yi } , en | “ g Fe a > " i | ee | pees & , eo v AS , a wg tages AD cate ee , Our beautiful, modern funeral home provides every convenience and , our experience qualifies us to render the service demanded when loved , ones are called by death. , Jones & Co., Undertakers ; 24th and Grant Sts.
