PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1922 MUSKOGEE BAPTIST MINISTER REFUSES TO QUIT HIS CHURCH MUSKOGEE BAPTIST MINISTER REFUSES TO QUIT HIS CHURCH (Special to The Tribune) (MUSKOGEE, Okla., Dec. 29.—Jack Johnson in the days when he was creating new stars for prospective "white hopes" to gaze upon as they got in the way of the colored puglist's strong arm, had nothing on the Rev. James S. Anderson, pastor of the Rayfield Baptist church, if the allegations contained in a petition filed in district court are true. In fact, it is charged by the board of deacons of the church and sixty-two members of the congregation that the Rev. Anderson openly boasts from the pulpit he is as good a man physically as was Jack Johnson himself. Will Fight Till Hell Freezes Over. "I am yours truly, Jack Johnson. How do you like it? If you like it or don't like it, I don't care. "I expect to stay here and fight you till hell freezes over, and then fight you on nine feet of ice. You're a lot of low down dogs. You're black and evil-hearted devils. "These are some of the verbal wallops the pastor is charged with having jabbed into the ribs of his congregation on numerous occasions, the petition says. And its getting worse, according to the petitioners. The crisis was reached recently when Anderson expelled from the church several members "without authority," the petition stated and refused to allow them to enter the church or participate in religious services. The deacons didn't have a chance to assert themselves for the pastor pocketed the keys, retired to his home and whenever he felt the spirit move him to call a meeting he did so, otherwise he let the congregation suffer along without spiritual guidance until he got ready to call them together, it is charged. Other charges in the petition are nuisance and menace. "He has threatened to do bodily harm to the members of the church. He has made of himself and the pulpit of the church, a common nuisance and constitutes a menace to the public peace and health by his constant challenge to combat. He threatens to destroy the church and the people. He is violent and arbitrary. He usurps the authority of the deacons and refuses to allow them to perform their duties. He wrongfully receives and takes money of the church and appropriates it to his own use. He closes and locks the doors. He is guilty of conduct unbecoming to a gentleman and a preacher." The petitioners asked for a court order restraining the pastor from continuing the acts they charge him with committing. Judge Guy F. Nelson in district court granted a temporary restraining order and set the hearing for Friday morning. Goldinol Club Wednesday evening, Jan. 3, the Goldinol club will meet at the home of Mrs. W. C.

SOCIETY GIRLS OF WHITE RACE WORN OUT AT 20 SAYS DOCTOR SOCIETY GIRLS OF WHITE RACE WORN OUT AT 20 SAYS DOCTOR (Special to The Tribune) LONDON, December 29.—"Worm out at twenty" was the phrase applied to the modern society girl by Dr. Agnes Savill, eminent woman doctor, in a striking lecture before the London Institute of Hygiene. "I have seen some of these girls." Dr. Savill continued. "After a few years of society life they age by ten years, and already at the age of 20 they are as worn out and nervetired as if they were 40. "I think that the cocktail habit among young girls is serious danger. It is lamentable that a girl of 20 can not take a meal without first having a cocktail because she fears indigestion." Dr Savill blames parents for-what she describes as "this physical degeneration," asserting that only they can remedy it. KLANSMAN IN FULL REGALIA OCCUPIES BAPTIST PULPIT KLANSMAN IN FULL REGALIA OCCUPIES BAPTIST PULPIT A masked Klansman, in full regalia last night spoke from the pulpit of the Washington Avenue Baptist Church. Gates and Washington Ave., Brooklyn. Announcement that the masked speaker would appear was made in advance by the Christian pastor of the church in an advertisement in a Brooklyn newspaper. A masked Klansman recently spoke in a church at West Sayville, L. L., but last night's occurrence was believed to mark the first time that a person wearing the full regalia of the Klan had occupied a pulpit in New York City. Although the minister declined to say just how arrangements were made for the appearance of the Klansman, the fact that it was prearranged, is shown by the advertising in advance. As a result of the advertisement the church was crowded, more than 1,000 persons being present. The Klansman made a neat stage entrance effect. Mounting the four steps which lead from the floor to the church to the chancel, he bowed to the minister, then addressed the audience. CHURCHES SHOULD ADVERTISE CHURCHES SHOULD ADVERTISE RICHMOND, Ind.—Greater use of newspaper space by the churches as an aid in the expansion of religion was urged by Dr. E. N. Milles, Syracuse, N. Y., General Secretary of the Methodist Episcopal Church here today. "We have fallen doctorably in this matter since the days of John Wesley," he said. "He would revel in use of the press if he were still living, and we are to be blamed for not using it more. "I would suggest that the best qualified man in a congregation assist the minister to prepare copy for newspapers." Some day our Corlored Churches may wake up, get busy, and advertise as white churches are doing. A few of our Colored Pastors see the advantage but cannot get their congregations wise to the value of newspapers.

December 4-6, 1922, do now demand of the authorities of the several states that they make good their claim proving their competency to abolish mob violence and lynching."

A STRONG CHARACTER Race prejudice is bound to give way before the influence of character, education and wealth. These are necessary to the growth of our race. Without wealth there can be no leisure, without unpleasant there can be no thought there can be no progress.—Booker T. Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year BIG HIT IS SCORED BY BANKERS' FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY (By The Associated Negro Press.) DURHAM, N. C., Dec. 29.—The Bankers' Fire Insurance Company scored decisively last week. It was the two million dollar Newbern fire that gave this strong Negro company its chance to jump overnight into the business limelight of this section of the country. Less than 48 hours after the big conflagration the representatives of the Bankers' was on the scene and adjusting the claims and making arrangements for immediate settlement of losses. This was a record business achievement and has made a profound impression throughout the State of North Carolina. One of the interesting features of the situation is the fact that the prompt action of the Negro company caused hardship to other companies facing the payment of big claims due to the fire calamity. So acute was the dilemma in which these others found themselves that they called upon the Bankers' to call a temporary halt in its speed payment campaign so as to give their brother business companies a chance to catch up with them. The request was complied with but not until the Negro company had paid out something more than $20,000 in claims. This action was not a deliberate attempt to cause other insurance concerns embarrassment but for the simple reason that a large number of colored people were big losers in the fire which covered forty blocks and destroyed more than 1,200 homes and needed immediate help. This humane attitude of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company has done much to improve the position of the colored business men here. Aside from the effect the company's action has had on the general business world of this state it does the greater thing of increasing the respect which the colored folks themselves had held toward their own business enterprise. A big business gain in the sum of the total gain for the race. The combined capital and surplus of the Bankers' company is $275,000. Last year the books of the concern held over $7,000,000 of business. This gave it first standing among the fire insurance companies doing business in North Carolina. W. G. Pearson is the president and W. Gomez is the secretary of the company. The present organization is the result of a recent merger with the Great Southern Fire Insurance Company.

That egotism is a natural-born trait of some families, and it some times crops out regardless of ancestral lineage. Were we to permit ourselves to be directed by some of these know-it-all beings we would be in trouble all the time. Fortunately this is a country where every one has a right to express an opinion, and it is in the analysis of various opinions that we arrive at something that is good for us all. One person says that we must not eat such and such foods; another that we must not drink coffee, tea or alcoholic beverages; another that meat eaters are less vigorous than those who live upon a vegetable diet; another says we must have meat; another says we must protect our throat and chest from the weather and dress our feet and legs warm; another that we are disposed to button our clothing too tightly around our necks; another that we should expose our throats and limbs to the weather, as the free access to the air makes us healthy. Thus we hear all sorts of advise regarding our bodily health, about the needs of our city and community, about our state and national affairs, and in fact there is a great diversity of opinion about everything. It is when people get together and express their minds freely that these matters are compared and sifted until something is arrived at that conforms to the general consensus of public opinion, and the world goes on and the people with it. Some are satisfied while others are not. Some will be satisfied with the things that suit the majority, while others are not. Some will be satisfied with anything. Hand some people a dollar and they will look at the other hand to see if you have not got another. Treat some people well and they will be mad because they are not treated better or in some manner more to their liking. Follow the dictation of the chronic grouches and the world would be in a pitiful condition. Nothing would be right. Follow the course laid out by the dictates of public opinion and you are safe.

APPLES DUMPED IN RIVER WENATCHEE, Wash.—Nearly 1,000 car loads of frozen apples have been dumped into the Columbia and Wenatchee rivers on order of state health officers. Railroads are attempting to smash the shop men's unions and establish their company "union." The frozen apples is one result of this policy, which has made it impossible to secure cars. The Cross-Cut By Courtney Ryley Cooper Illustrations by R. B. Van Nice Copyright by Little, Brown & Co. 8YNOPS18 CHAPTER I.—At Thornton Falchild's death his son Robert tears there has been a dark period in his father's life which for almost thirty years has caused him suffering. The secret is hinted at by the father's child, which also informs Robert he is now owner of a mining claim in Colorado, and advising him to see Henry Beamish, a lawyer. CHAPTER II.—Beamish tells Robert his claim, a silver mine, is at Oadhi, thirty-sight miles from Denver. He also warns him against a certain man "Squint" Rodalne, his father's enemy. Robert decides to go to Oadhi. CHAPTER III.—On the road to Oadhi from Denver Falchild assists a girl, apparently in a frenzy of haste, to change a tire on her auto. When she has left, the father and a posse appear, in suit of a bandit. Falchild bewildered misleads them as to the direction the girl had taken. CHAPTER IV.—At Oadhi Falchild is warmly greeted by "Mother" Howard, boarding-house keeper, for his father's sake. CHAPTER XI.-Fairchild learns that Judge Richmond is dying, and that he and Anita are in the power of the Rodaines. They begin, as partners, to work together. The teen was killed by Thornton Fairchild and his body buried by a cave-in which destroyed the mine. At the "Old Times Ball" Fairchild dances with Anita, to the discomfiture of Maurice Rodaine, son to the girl. Anita supposed to be engaged to the girl. Anita holds, and shoots a merrymaker. Maurice Rodaine claims he recognized the bandit as Harkins. The latter is arrested. Fairchild interferes to save Anita from the bullying of the two Rodaines, and is mydied at Anita's apparent ingratiance CHAPTER XII.-Fairchild puts up the claim as bond, and secures Harry's release from jail. They are offered $50,000 by an unknown party, but agree to disregard. Clearly the crime they come to where they fear to find Larsen's remains. CHAPTER XI.-A skeleton, in a miner's costume, which Harkinson's son is, there, and there seems little doubt that Thornton Fairchild was a murderer. CHAPTER XII.-Fairchild informs the coroner of the discovery of the skeleton. At the inquest, "Crazy Laura," caston the inquest, "Rodaine and an acknowledged imbecile, claiming immunity against Thornton Fairchild. The jury returns a verdict that Larsen came to his death at Thornton Fairchild's hands. Anita's engagement to Maurice Rodaine is announced. CHAPTER XIII.-Summoned to Denver to receive "important information" Fairchild informs the mine. Fairchild refuses. Returning, the mine hears of a marvelous strike made in the Silver Queen, Rodaine's mine, which adjoins the Blue Poppy. CHAPTER XIV.-The capital of the two partners is rapidly vanishing. Anita appears to avoid Fairchild. He and Harry hasten back to the mine. Silver. Leaving Harry in the mine Fairchild hastens to have the find assayed. CHAPTER XV.-The assayer tells Fairchild the vein is almost solid. Harry hastening back, he finds the mine destroyed by a cave-in, and Harry gone. CHAPTER XVI—A note from Antti puts Fairchild on Rodaine's track. He follows his enemy to the home of "Crazy Harry," whom the woman and in the house, in an unconscious state. CHAPTER XVII—In the absence of the Rodaines, Fairchild gets Fairchild to the house and to a hospital. He has been drugged by the crazy woman, but makes a quick recovery. He tells of escaping the maze and unsuspected passage. Rodaine is Rohlmond dead. Antti friend, Antti visits the partners in the mine, seeking Fairchild's against the Rodaines. Startled by a mysterious noise, the three take refuge in the passage which Harry had found. CHAPTER XVIII—They find evidence of the existence of a "cross-cut" from the blue Poppy vein. By hiding the blue Poppy vein, Two of Rodaines, henchmen, Blinde Bozeman and Taylor Bill, are captured. Taylor Bill admits the robbery of the Blue Poppy and also the "Old Times Dances" for which Harry is under indictment. CHAPTER XX—Realizing the game is up, Maurice Rudin endeavors to reach Denver and get away, but is caught in the grip of the "Jump" and the "Jumpee" of Squint" Rodaine, cornered, jumps from a window and escapes for a time. CHAPTER XX—Rodaine makes for the house of "Crazy Laurel" and destroys incriminating evidence which he knows she possesses. The woman resists him, and in the struggle the house is broken, and Rodaine with the books in which her warped brain has led her to set down her crimes, committed at the instigation of her husband and many others, the murder of "Sissie" Laurel and the destruction of the mine are recorded. Thornton Fairchild's name is cleared. The mystery of Anita's escapade on the street is revealed, and the nature of a joke, and Robert Fairchild, rich in his silver vein and Anita's love, feels there is little more on earth. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING turn the page and breathe sharply. Before him was a six-column advertisement, announcing the strike in the Silver Queen mine and also spreading the word that a two-million-dollar company would be formed, one million in stock to represent the mine itself, the other to be subscribed to exploit this new find as it should be exploited. Glowing words told of the possibilities of the Silver Queen. Offices had been opened; everything had been planned in advance and the advertisement written before the town was aware of the big discovery up Kentucky gulch. All of it Fairchild read with a feeling he could not down—a feeling that Fate, somehow, was dealing the cards from the bottom, and that trickery and treachery and a venomous nature were the necessary STRIKE TECH MINE He Finished the Last Line and Gasped, ingredients, after all, to success. He finished the last line, looked at the list of officers, and gasped. For there, following one another, were three names, two of which Fairchild had expected. But the other—They were, president and general manager, R. B. (Squint) Rodaine; secretary-treasurer, Maurice Rodaine; and first vice president—Miss Anita Natalie Richmond! After that, Fairchild heard little that Harry said as he rambled on about plans for the future. He sat and stared, until finally his partner said good-night and left the room. That name could mean only one thing: that she had consented to become a partner with them, that they had won her over, after all. Now, even a different light came upon the meeting with Barnham in Denver and a different view to Falchild. What if she had been playing their game all along? What if she had been merely a tool for them; what if she had sent Farrell at their direction, to learn everything he and Harry knew? Had not another player played the friendship racket, in an effort to buy the Blue Poppy mine? And here Fairchild smiled grimly. From the present prospects, it would seem that the gain would have been all on his side, for certainly there was little to show now toward a possibility of the Blue Poppy ever being worth anything near the figure which he had been offered for it. And yet, if that offer had not been made as some sort of stiletto jest, why had it been made at all? Was it because Rodalne knew that wealth did lie concealed there? Fairchild suddenly took hope. He clenched his hands and he spoke, to himself, to the darkness and to the spirits of discouragement that were all about him: 'If it's there, we'll find it—if we have to work our fingers to the bone, if we have to starve and die there—we'll find it!' With that determination, he went to bed, to awake in the morning filled with a desire to reach the mine, to claw at its vitals with the sharp-edged drills, to swing the heavy sledge until his shoulders and back ached, to send the roaring charges of dynamite digging deeper and deeper into that thinning vein. And Harry was beside him every step of the way. A day's work, the booming charges, and they returned to the stope to find that the vein had neither lessened nor grown greater. Another day—and one after that. The vein remained the same. Squint Rodaine had established his office in a small, vacant store building on the main street, and Falrcild could see, as he went to and from his work, a constant stream of townpeople as they made that their goal—there to give their money into the keeping of the be-scarred man and to trust to the future for wealth. It gallued Falrcild, it made his hate stronger than ever. As for the girl who was named as vice president— He saw her, day after day, riding through town in the same automobile that he had helped re-tire on the Denver road. But now she did not look at him; now she pretended that she did not see him. She had gone over to the Rodalnes, she was engaged to marry the chalky-faced, hook-nosed son and she was vice president of their two-million-dollar mining corporation. Fairchild did not even strive to find a meaning for it all; women are women, and men do well sometimes if they diagnose themselves. The summer began to grow old, and Fairchild felt that he was aging with it. The bank deposits were thinning, and the vein was thinning with it. Slowly but surely, as they fought, the strip of pay ore in the rocks was pinching out. Soon would come the time when they could work it no longer. And then—but Fairchild did not like to think about that. September came, and with it the grand jury. But here for once was a slight ray of hope. The body of twelve good men and true wore themselves out with other matters and adjourned without even taking up the mystery of the Blue Poppy mine. But the joy of Fairchild and Harry was short-lived. In the long, legal phraseology of the jury's report was the recommendation that this important subject be the first for inquiry by the next grand inquisitorial body to be convened — and the threat still remained. But before the two men were now realities which were worse even than threats, and Harry turned from his staging late one afternoon to voice the most important. "We'll start single-jacking tomorrow," he announced with a little sigh. "In the 'anging wall. The vein's plinched down until we ain't even getting day laborer's wages out of it—and it's October now." October! October—and winter on the way. October—and only a month until the time when Harry must face a jury on four separate charges, any one of which might send him to Canon City for the rest of his days. Fairchild's hopes lay inert. He was only wooing now because a great, strong, big-shardened man had come from Cornwall to help him and was willing to fight it out to the end. October—and the announcement had said that a certain girl would be married in the late fall, a girl who never looked in his direction any more, who had allowed her name to become affiliated with that of the Rodaines, now nearing the task of completing their two million. October! For a long moment, Fairchild said nothing, then as Harry came from the staging, he moved to the older man's side. "I-I didn't quite catch the idea," came at last. Harry pointed with his sledge. "I've been noticing the vein. It keeps turning to the left. It struck me that it might 'ave branched off from the main body and that there's a bigger vein over there some'eres. We'll just 'ave to make a try for it. It's our only chance." "And if we fail to find it there?" "If it ain't there—we're whipped!" It was the first time that Harry had said the word seriously. Fairchild pretended not to hear. Instead, he picked up a drill, looked at its point, then started toward the small forge which they had erected just at the foot of the little raise leading to the stope. There Harry joined him; together they heated the long pieces of steel and pounded their biting faces to the sharpness necessary to drilling in the hard rock of the hanging wall, tempering them in the bucket of water near by, working silently, slowly—hampered by the weight of defeat. They were being whipped; they felt it in every atom of their beings. But they had not given up their fight. Two blows were left in the struggle, and two blows they meant to strike before the end came. The next morning they started at their new task, each drilling holes at points five feet apart in the hanging wall, to send them in as far as possible, then at the end of the day to blast them out, tearing away the rock and stopping their work at drilling that they might muck away the refuse. And day after day, each, without mentioning it to the other, was tortured by the thought of that offer of riches that mysterious proffer of wealth for the Blue Poppy mine—tortured like men who are chained in the sight of gold and cannot reach it. For the offer carried always the hint that wealth was there, somewhere, that Squint Roddain knew it, but that they could not find it. Either that—or that failure. Either wealth that would yield Squint a hundredfold for his purpose, or a sneer that would answer their offer to sell. And each man grilled his teeth and said nothing. But they worked on. October gave up its fight. The first day of November came, to find the chamber a wide, vacuous thing now, sheltering stone and refuse and two struggling men—nothing more. Fairchild ceased his labors and mopped his forehead, dripping from the bent engendered by frenzied labor. A long moment, then: "Harry." "Aye." "I'm going after the other side. We've been playing a half-horsed game here." "I've been thinking that, Boy." "Then I'm going to tackle the foot wall. I was at the bank today." "Yeh." "My balance is just two hundred." Harry clawed at his mustache. "We're nearing the end, Boy. Tackle the foot wall." They said no more. Fairchild withdrew his drill from the "swimmer" or straightforward powder hole and turned far to the other side of the chamber, where the sloping foot wall showed for a few feet before it dived under the muck and refuse. Spot after spot he prospected, suddenly to stop and bend forward. At last came an exclamation, surprised, wondering: "Harry!" The Cornishman left his work and walked to Fairchild's side. The younger man pointed. "Do you ever fill up drill holes with cement?" he asked. "Not as I know. Why?" "There's one." Fairchild raised his gad and chipped away the softer surface of the rock, leaving a tubular protuberance of cement extending. Harry stared. "What the bloody 'ell?' he conjec- LOCAL NEWS Real Christmas Gift Mr. W. J. Jones of 1646 East Jefferson street, presented his wife with a beautiful_player-piano for Christmas.
