Britt, 2519 Maple street, and grandson of Mrs. Mary E. Overall, which occurred early Sunday morning at Lord Lister hospital. While playing football near his home Friday, November 4, Leonard broke his leg and was taken to the hospital where the fracture was reduced. He seemed to be doing so well that he was taken to the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Overall, 2010 Lake street, of whom he was very fond, the following Tuesday afternoon, because of the illness of his mother at home. Wednesday night he showed symptoms of appendicitis. Thursday morning he was rushed to the hospital and an immediate operation was found necessary. His condition was considered critical, but hope was entertained for his recovery. He died Sunday morning at 5 o'clock. Leonard was born December 13, 1912, and was therefore within one month of fifteen years of age at the time of his death. It was recalled that he was born on December 13, baptized on December 13, on the first anniversary of his birth, and died November 13. He attended Lothrop school, where he was a favorite with teachers and pupils, through the grades, graduating from there two years ago to Central High. At Lothrop, he was a member of the orchestra and at Central he stood well in his classes. He was a member of St. Philip's Sunday school and of Troop GIRL SHOOTS DOWN MAN WHO STRUCK HER MOTHER Quarrel Over Money Alleged Owed by Roomer May Result Fatally Fearing that her mother's life was in danger, Maxine Reddick, 15, shot and probably fatally wounded Alfred Oglesby after Oglesby had knocked down the mother, Mrs. Zeda Reddick, following an argument at the Reddick home, 2211 North Twenty-seventh street, where Oglesby roomed. All concerned are Negroes. Both mother and daughter were arrested and are being held on an open charge pending the outcome of Oglesby's injury. Oglesby was taken to Lord Lister hospital. Mrs. Reddick told Police Sergeant Frank Rose that Oglesby "got up on the wrong side of the bed" Sunday morning and picked an argument over a small sum of money he was supposed to contribute toward buying groceries for the week. The mother declared that Oglesby struck her several times and finally knocked her down, whereupon the girl, who had been a witness to the altercation, procured a gun from another room and shot Oglesby in the back. The girl said Oglesby was backing toward her, as if to take her unawares, when she fired. AUTO STRIKES GIRL Taken to Hospital Suffering a Possible Fracture of Skull Ida Hogan, 15, of 2514 Grant street, suffered numerous bruises about the head and body and a possible fracture of the skull Sunday morning when she was struck by a car driven by Edward Harris, of 1843 Grant street. The girl was run down as she was crossing the intersection of Twenty-fourth and Grant streets. She was taken to the Lord Lister hospital, where she was attended by police surgeons. Harris was arrested on a technical charge of reckless driving. THE MONITOR 23 of the Boy Scouts.

MUST WORK FOR "HAND," ASSERTS NEGRO DANCER Never Snubbed Behind Footlights But Sometimes Public Is Cold, Says Marceo Thomas, Appearing at Orpheum The path of the Negro actor, seeking to attain recognition on the stage, is set with obstacles, says Marceo Thomas, Negro dancer, who appeared at the Orpheum recently with the girl he won in a Charleston contest, now Mrs. Thomas. Most of the trials, however, are beyond the footlights, and not "back stage," Thomas asserts. "We have never been snubbed in any way by other actors," Thomas said. "There seems to be sort of a bond between them which overrides any prejudices they may have." The public, however, sometimes is difficult, the dancer said. "If you're colored, you have to work twice as hard to win the same applause. Sometimes you can feel the prejudice and that makes you work all the harder, to force them to grant that 'You're good.' "Even the critics have the same prejudice. We don't mind the knocks, but they give us credit and then take it away by saying it's natural to the colored race." Matter of obtaining desirable hotel accommodations, and eating houses also frequently presents a problem Usually they stop with private families, Thomas said. DIVORCES INCREASING DIVORCES INCREASING WITH ALARMING RAPIDITY Washington—Divorces in America are increasing more than two and a half times as fast as marriages, the commerce department announced after a nationwide survey. The courts granted 180,868 divorces last year, or one for every seven marriages performed in the same period, this survey showed. Meanwhile, marriages failed to keep pace with the estimated increase in population. Omaha, Nebraska, Friday, November 18, 1927 EDITORIAL Mr. T.

In the agency, which the Urban League be continued and developed until functioning, we not simply the colored people—for social agencies belong to the willing to adequately support them us have it without delay; but its support is forthcoming, and whithcoming. Mr. T. Arnold Hill, Secretary of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League of New York, arrived in Omaha last Friday morning upon invitation of persons interested in the formation of a branch of this organization here. Mr. Hill has put in a strenuous week of very hard work holding conferences and interviews with several groups of our people, with mixed groups of both races interested in social welfare work, with individuals, Community Chest officials, and the Council of Social Agencies. He has been doing educational work which should have been done before his arrival. For several months the work of the National Urban League has been discussed by a very limited number of our own people and of socially-minded white people, but, as a matter of fact, few, if any, outside of this limited number, ever heard of the Urban League or of the excellent work it has been doing for several years in many of our larger cities, or of the possibility or advisability of its entrance here. What it has done elsewhere it can no doubt do here. It has proven wonderfully effective in widening occupational fields and opportunities for Negroes in many cities, in securing better housing conditions, improving health, recreational and industrial relations and conditions. Omaha sadly needs the enlarged industrial opportunities for our people that the Urban League has been effective in securing elsewhere, not by over-night methods, but by an intelligent, persistent campaign, a sane method of approach and by helpful contacts it has been able to make. The Urban League has a scientifically planned program carried out by well-trained workers, and in every community where there are large numbers of our people well trained social workers are needed. Omaha is no exception to this rule. We believe that the Urban League is an excellent organization, with high and practical ideals and purposes, and what is more these ideals are approximated, if not fully realized, in a workable program, proven by having been put into use. Its methods are not merely experimental. We believe that Omaha needs the Urban League. We are not so sure, however, that Omaha wants it. We want to see Omaha want it. We are confident that Omaha will want it, ardently and sincerely want it, when it knows more about it and its effective work not only for colored people, but for the whole community, for whatever helps one portion of our citizenry helps the whole community. We repeat, Omaha needs and badly needs the Urban League; but does Omaha realize its need of it and want it? By this we mean are the people of Omaha, in general, and our own people whose best interests it faithfully serves in particular, ready to give it loyal and whole-hearted support and co-operation? This is the supreme question, which gives us personally grave concern, for without such support and co-operation, cheerfully and ungrudgingly given, the work of the Urban League, like that of other helpful agencies which have been launched here will be greatly handicapped, if not nullified. Unless, therefore, it is quite evident that this is "the psychological time" for its organization, and that its introduction will not be met with apathy and indifference. due either to ignorance or prejudice, but met with a sympathetic attitude and open-mindedness, at least, then in our judgment, it were best to confine present efforts to such preliminary steps and tentative organization as may be required for the introduction of the Urban League here when the time is more opportune and the conditions more favorable. In the meanwhile, the present social agency, which the Urban League would supplant, should be continued and developed until such time as the League is functioning. If Omaha, not simply the colored people of Omaha, but the community-for social agencies belong to the community is ready and willing to adequately support the Urban League, by all means let us have it without delay; but if not, then let us wait until such support is forthcoming, and while waiting work to make it forthcoming.

JONES ADDRESSES OHIO STATE STUDENTS Urban League Executive Presents Case of Negro Before University Students of Sociology; New Building Dedicated by Jones Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban league, has just returned to New York from a trip to Columbus and Canton, Ohio. In Columbus, he appeared before two of the classes of Prof. Adolphus Miller, head of the department of sociology of the Ohio State university. The first group of students was the elementary class in sociology, and the second group of 92 students was composed of seniors and graduate students working on special social projects. Mr. Jones' subject was "Interracial Relations," and he provoked much discussion on stating that there was no difference in the capacities of races, and that the Negro's contribution to American life was being recognized at home as one of the most valuable of the contributions of the various groups making up America; and abroad as the most significant of gifts. Keen interest was displayed by the students at each session, and Professor Miller indicated that it was a most helpful discussion of a subject which is now being generally discussed in American colleges. In Canton, Mr. Jones delivered the principal address at the dedicatory service of the new $40,000 Urban league building which is to serve as a clearing house for social service activities among Negroes in Canton, the home city of ex-President McKinley. At this meeting the sum of $1,950 was raised to complete the last payment due on the property and equipment, thus enabling the Canton Urban league, with Gerald E. Allen, executive secretary, to proceed in its activities with adequate building, playground, and equipment without a cent of indebtedness. GROWING THANK YOU Whole Number 642 NEGRO MOTHER AND SON BELIEVED TO BE KLAN VICTIMS Persist in Refusal to Surrender to Terrorists and Disappear Mysteriously as Officers Are Sent Montgomery, Ala.—(Special)—In the midst of the agitation against the Ku Klux Klan and the baring of the brutality of some of its members, news comes that a gang of Klansmen gave notice to Abe Jackson, prosperous race farmer and his mother to leave Colbert county before November 1. But the son and his aged mother bravely refused to leave their little homestead and the farm they acquired through years of toil resulting in foul play befalling them. The gangster terrorized the aged mother to force her to sell her land, which represented her life's savings. Jackson, goaded by threats and fearing for the safety of his mother, finally wired Attorney General McCall, telling him the state of affairs. McCall immediately ordered protection sent for the pair, but when officers arrived, they could not be found. All efforts to locate Jackson and his mother have been in vain. The brutal acts attributed to the Klan are gradually turning all of the best whites in the South against it. "TIGER" FLOWERS SUCCUMBs AFTER OPERATION ON EYE New York, Nov. 16—(AP)—Tiger Flowers, of Atlanta, Ga., former middleweight champion of the world, died Wednesday night after a minor operation. Death of the Negro "Georgia Deacon," was announced through the office of Walk Miller, manager of Flowers, after information concerning the fighter's condition was refused at the private hospital of Dr. W. G. Fraalk, where the operation was performed late Wednesday. Operation on Eve Miller said that Flowers, after submitting to a minor operation for removal of growth over his left eye, rallied from the ether in fairly satisfactory condition, but suffered a sick spell some hours later and died shortly after 8 p. m. Nurses at the Fralick hospital refused either to confirm or deny Flowers' death. In the absence of Dr. Fralick, who performed the operation, information of any kind was refused. The surgeon could not be located. Flowers won the middleweight title from Harry Greb, who died under almost similar circumstances in October 1926, in a fifteen round decision bout at Madison Square Garden here February 26, 1926. He lost the championship to Mickey Walker on a decision in Chicago, December 3 of the same year. Fought Last Saturday The Georgia Negro, a colorful battler of the ceaseless punching type, fought his last battle here on last Saturday when he knocked out Leo Gates, a heavyweight, in four rounds. Earlier Wednesday Madison Square Garden authorities, announced that Walker had been given five days in which to defend his title against Flowers in a match scheduled at the garden this winter. Legal measures were planned to force the present champion. to meet Flowers under a contract alleged to have been signed before Flowers lost his championship.

It being the annual meeting, the secretary made report as follows, for the months January 1 to October 31, inclusive: Total receipts passing through secretary's hands, $122.02.

Making a total paid into national office, $100.50, and leaving a balance of $21.52 for local use. Of the pledges at the Walter White meeting and the Wm. Pickens meeting, there remains a balance of $96.50 unpaid. The Branch has held eight business sessions, ten forums, and two special meetings, a total of twenty meetings by the Branch. The executive committee has held ten meetings. This committee has had before it seven important cases of racial discrimination in one way or another, and so far as its means would allow pursued them to a final conclusion. This is especially true in the famous Alma Wright case, in which although conviction was not obtained, the Branch feels that it established the thing it set out to accomplish, that is, that the better class of our people do not approve of the wanton murders, all too many, going with no attempt at prosecution. In this case we also have put the prosecuting attorney's office on record. The treasurer's report showed a balance of $16.00 to date. Complaint is often heard that the local Branch is doing nothing. Now, had the money pledged been duly paid in, instead of a sixteen dollar balance there would have been $44.25 and the sum of $168.75, considerably more than one-half of our apportionment, would have gone to the national office to help fight for the rights of the people of our nation. It certainly cannot be truthfully said that the officers have not labored earnestly. Mr. M. L. Hunter was retained as president, as was Mr. H. L. Anderson, treasurer, and the Rev. Russel Taylor, secretary. Mr. J. H. Jackson succeeded the Rev. J. A. Harris as vice president. These four officers were, by resolution passed, created a nominating committee for the remaining nine members of the executive committee.
