WELFARE ASSOCIATION IS BROKE Makes Mad Appeal For More Money To Keep Up Race Prejudice. Employs Lawyers To Help Make The Law Stick. The Welfare Association is still hard at work to make the segregation ordinance stand in the courts. Of course, from the very fact that the cases were taken directly to the United States District Court, it seemed to sound an alarm, or throw a bomb into the segregationist quarters. They are now making a mad appeal to the prejudices of their followers to give more money, trying to keep those unAmerican laws on the statute books of St. Louis. Remember it has cost the Welfare Association nearly fifty thousand dollars to pass the law, when they knew it was unconstitutional, and they are depending upon the "almighty dollar" to make it "stick." Below is a copy of letters that are being sent out appealing for more money. Dear Friend: If your home were on fire wouldn't you turn in an alarm and then pitch in and help put it out, if possible! If the value of your home and the civic pride of your city were in danger wouldn't you do all in your power by helping further support a movement whose sole aim and purpose was to protect the value of that home and that city! You probably know that the Negroes have filed an injunction suit in the United States District Court, asking that the city officials be restrained from enforcing the segregation ordinances. St. Louis has never had a more important issue to sustain than segregation. The 3 to 1 victory at the polls, however, has stirred up the opposition to such a high pitch, that they are making every possible preparation to have this success annulled. You probably have noted the special array of legal talent opposed to us. Just think—the Negroes are being represented in this injunction suit by eight prominent white attorneys, who will try all in their power to rob St. Louis and you of this hard earned segregation victory. What are we to do? Sit still with clasped hands and see our victory vanish! Positively and emphatically "NO." The average successful lawyer has very little Federal or United States Court practice and even less knowledge and practice on points of constitutionality, therefore, it is very essential that specialists on constitutional law be employed to present our side of the case. Here is what we have done. Employed Honorable Sherman Steele, professor of constitutional law at St. Louis University and Attorney Chilton Atkinson, and other prominent attorneys, to act as associate counselors in this injunction proceeding, which will be heard in the United States District Court on March 28, 1916 by Judge Dyer. Can you imagine a more disastrous possibility confronting the home owners of St. Louis?—people who have sacrificed and struggled in order to secure a home of their own—than to have their neighborhood suddenly invaded by Negroes, the property value and loan value shattered and ruined practically over night? This is just what will happen if our segregation ordinances are now held in abeyance. We are depending entirely upon popular subscriptions and your further support, as we have no means otherwise with which to pay our attorneys and incidental expense. We have but recently received sufficient funds to meet our deficit. We must have help. Please lend us your assistance and be just as liberal with us as you can, but above all send it quickly. If you can't help us much more, please help, if only a very little. Please give this your immediate attention—we are not asking it for ourselves, but for the home owners and home lovers of St. Louis—the plain people. If we can raise the funds to pay our expenses we feel certain segregation will be upheld in the courts—if we can't it is very likely the Negro will win and the White man will be defeated. Please let us have your assistance at once. With sincere faith that you will not fail us, we are, Very truly yours, United Welfare Association: Per Felix P. Lawrence, Pres. Dr. Jas A.

After all that I've been to you After all of these many years After everything I've gone through After all of our joys and our tears It's the old story told again— SEREGATION CASE CONTINUED WILL COME UP IN JUDGE DYER'S COURT MONDAY, APRIL 17 AT THE FEDERAL BUILDING, EIGHT AND OLIVE The two cases came before the United States District Judge D. P. Dyer at the Federal Building, 5th and Olive Sts., last Monday morning. After a motion to dismiss the suits was filed by Mr. Griffin, representing the city officials as defendants. The case was originally set by Judge Dyer for Monday, April 3, but on account of the fact that Col. Blodgett's inability to be in court on that date, the case has been reset for Monday, April 17. Then the case will be argued on its merits before Judge Dyer. There is no doubt in the minds of the leading attorneys of this city that an injunction will be granted when the case is heard on its merits. In one of the suits that are before the court, the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People paid the filing fee of $50.00, naming Dr. T. A. Curtis, Messrs. W. C. Gordon, T. L. Gentry and Attorney Albert Burgess, as the plaintiffs. They have for their attorneys eight of the leading legal lights in the city, who have volunteered their services free that they too might have a hand in wiping such laws from the statutes, of this city. In the other suit, Mr. James J. Doyle, a white man, is the plaintiff. This suit is backed by some of the Colored ministers of the city, who have for their attorneys Geo. B. Webster and I. H. Lionberger. It is understood that Mr. Lionberger would not accept a fee for his services, giving as his reason that he felt it an imposition on the part of the white people to do this great-wrong and then charge the Colored people for services to help remove it. The ministers, however, are asking the people for $500 for Mr. Geo. B. Webster, as retaining fee. Status of Case The two suits are asking for the same relief. The success of one means a victory for both. Trained Lion Show Next Week Delmar's Trained Lions will be at the Booker Washington Theater next week. There are three in the group and are the same that are appearing in moving pictures. While being exhibit ed they are confined in a large steel cage. They perform all sorts of tricks. A main feature is the only living lion comedian in comedy, Cincy, who dances the tango. The audience is H. A.

The new shipment of spring suitings, canes, silk gloves and neckwear are the last word in style and quality. In the millinery department will be found copies of French models and untrimmed shapes in the now Austin, Tex., March 23.—The Texas Supreme Court in the case of Frank A. Spence vs. W. H. Fenchler, on appeal from El Paso County, held that the cities of Texas have no authority to establish districts of segregation. Many lawyers contend that in effect the decision denies the right of various municipalities, to enact segregation ordinances aimed against the Negro. Many of the cities have adopted charters under the State "home rule" act and some have contended that they have the right to pass any kind of ordinance they please. This the Supreme Court denies. The decision is of particular importance because Dallas, Texas is to vote on a segregation ordinance on April 4. THREE FUGITIVES IN ONE DAY Every fugitive from justice captured in St. Louis and returned to the city that wants him means one less vicious character to give us trouble. Ferd Waller, one of our Colored special officers, knows this and gave a practicable demonstration last Sunday by arresting three all negroes. At 5 p. m. Waller arrested Natan Crump and Alice Pannell, wanted in Booneville, Mississippi, on a grand larceny charge. The arrest was made at 2347 Scott Avenue. Both refused to waive extradition, so Deputy Sheriff W. W. Cunningham obtained requisition and came for his prisoners Tuesday. He left for Booneville the same day. Five hours after. arresting Crump and Pannell, Waller captured Homer Banks at 2708 Lawton Avenue. This negro is wanted in Como, Mississippi, on a charge of shooting with intent to kill. Banks waived requisition and was turned over to Constable F. A. Moore for return to Como.—Police Journal, March 25. NEGRO BOY AGAIN REFUSES TO SALUTE AMERICAN FLAG Hubert Eaves, Arrested, Says This Is "White Man's Country" and That He Has No Country. Des Moines, Ia.—Hubert Eaves, 11 year old Negro boy, who was brought before District Judge Dudley because he refused to salute the flag at Clarkson school and who was ordered to return to school and obey orders again refused to salute this morning and was arrested by the truant officers and taken before Judge Dudley on a contempt of court charge. Hubert says "America is a White man's country" and that he has no country. He says he will not salute the flag no matter what Judge Dudley does to him. To the United Spanish War Veterans, Corpl. Wm.

M.—TEAM 14 STILL IN THE LEAD Preparations are being made every day for the big meeting of the Y. M. C. A. which is to be held on April 9, at St. Paul, A. M. E. Church. All the teams are working, and it seems probable that a few thousand dollars more will be added to the Building Fund at that time. In the list of speakers, this meeting is to be one of the greatest meetings that the Y. M. C. A. has ever held. Dr. John W. Day, who was one of the leaders in the fight against segregation and was one of the few ministers of the city who spoke out without reserve against segregation enactment, will be the principal speaker. In addition to this, short messages will be brought by Dr. W. W. Lucas, Dr. E. M. Jonce, the field secretary of Sundays schools for the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Dr. J. O. Randall, one of the general officers of the Methodist Church. This is one of the strongest array of speakers that could be secured from among the many general officers of the Methodist Church, who will be in the city at that time. Dr. B. F. Abbott, pastor of Union Memorial, at which place the Methodist Conference will be in session, has promised that the ordination service for that afternoon will be put through on prompt time, so that the many ministers of the state may have a chance to attend this meeting.

OPEN UNDER TAKING COMPANY J. Myron Crawford and Thos. R. Crawford, Jr., sons of Thos. R. Crawford, one of St. Louis' oldest citizens and a resident of Elleudsville for almost forty years, have opened an undertaking establishment in the vicinity in which they were born, known as the Crawford Undertaking Co. They were educated in the district and high schools of the city and were at one time two of the best known ball players in the country, having played professional ball for many years. As the undertaking profession and the science of embalming has advanced they are in a position to render to the public everything that is strictly up to date. Practical embalming of today requires one to know the viscera of the whole human body in order to derive good results and as a Licensed embalmer Mr. J. Myron Crawford is capable of taking care of all cases regardless of what the nature might be. When in need of strictly up-to-date service call Central 1653 or Lindell 1079 R.

King HIGH CLASS SHOWS NOW AT B. W. THEATRE HABIT OF COLORED PERFORMERS REPEATING SAME OLD DOPE HAS CAUSED INTRODUCTION OF HIGH CLASS WHITE ACTS The Booker Washington Theater, at last, has fallen in line with the other big colored theaters in the country, and is booking white acts to add variety and originality to the bill. Patrons have tired of the "same thing over again" methods of the performers and the managers are compelled to mix their bills. This has been the policy in the following leading theaters: Standard, Philadelphia; Howard, Washington, D. C.; C. Lafayette, New York City; Grand, Chicago and others. St. Louis has been behind the processor. Mr. Turpain, proprietor of the Booker Washington, has been reluctant to follow suit, but the demand has forced him to supply the goods. Colored performers are at fault. Theatrical critics sounded the warning many months ago, but the actors were too indolent to take heed. During the past year no less than ten acts, favorites here, have "gone cold" because the patrons had grown tired of their dope. The box office has suffered and the theaterer has calloused. The result is mixed bills. The new policy is a high class novelty act on each program. These acts offer a greater variety than is possible to get from colored. During the past three weeks an artistic photo-posing act, a sensational acrobatic contortionist and a musical novelty have been shown. Next week a troupe of trained lions will be exhibited. Practically all first class colored acts get an opportunity to work white time in other places. Johnny Woods, the ventriloquist, has just secured 35 weeks on the U. B. O., which will take him to Australia; Blondi Robinson is booked solid for 52 weeks; Mackgomery and McClain, Brooks and Bowen, Buster and Bailey, Lone Bert Murphy and many others have been booked up. It has been necessary here to have more than one white act, two or three times, because of colored acts failing to appear. In one instance three acts flunked. That the new policy is a popular move is evident from the packed houses nightly. The white acts are the same class that hundreds of Negroes go to the Columbia every season to see. They are an inspiration to the colored performers, who are showing more "pep" since the competition has been inaugurated. | NEW S1.LOUS Negro Business DIRECTORY CLASSIFIED ADS ONE INSERTION Personal, Business and Pro- fessional Cards, Business Chances, For Sale or Rent Houses, Stores, Flats, 5¢ per line; minimum te. ———_—— Help Wanted, Situations Want- ed, For Rent Rooms, Rooms and Board, 3c per line; mini- mum 10¢.

SELLEBS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON TEXT—Acts 9:1, 21 (See also Gal 1:11, 17; I Tim. 1:12, 17). GOLDEN TEXT—Faithful is the saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinner: of whom I am chief—I Tim. 1:15 R. V. No other man, save our Lord, has made such an impress upon history as the "Jew of Tarsus." Read carefully and repeatedly Acts, chapters 9:22 and 23 and 1. 1. Saul the Man. (1) Physically. We know but little of Saul (see Ramsey, Conybeare and others), but we know from his labors that he was a man of tremendous vitality. Distant Damascus knew of his work (v. 13) and he himself testifies as to his activities (22:3-26:11). (2) Religiously he belonged to the strictest of the strict, the Pharisees (26:5-9:11). His anger at Jesus and the disciples was a consuming passion; literally, he "breathed threatening and slaughter" (v. 1). In all his violence he was conscientious, but yet he was awfully and terribly wrong, and what is more, his actions were not alone against the disciples but against Jesus (v. 5). (3) Politically Saul was perfectly legal in keeping the law and in his executions in the name of the law. Doubtless a member of the Sanhedrim (26:10), his hatred knew no pity; it included all who believed in Jesus. (4) Mentally this man transcends all who have ever followed Jesus. A man of intense convictions, a slave to a misdirected conscience, a titan of gigantic force and power once in the right channel. II. Saul Saved. (1) This man was first humbled (v. 4). God put forth his hand to save the elect at Damascus, though he let Saul go a long way in his mad career. When he did act, it was "suddenly" and by means of the glory of Christ's resurrection (v. 7, I. Cor. 15:8). Though it was "about noon," yet this glory outshine the brightness of the Syrian sun (ch. 26:13). Many who speak bold blasphemous words would also be cast down did they but really see his glory. (2) Saul is not left thus stricken, but it is called from above (v. 5). The question of Jesus (v. 4) was a most startling one and that, with the answer to his honest inquiry, convicted him of what must have been a lurking suspicion in his mind, viz.: that he was wrong and Jesus was truly the Messiah. III. Saul Sent. The first evidence of the change wrought in Saul was: (1) Obedience. (v. 8). His companions heard but did not understand. There is no contradiction (v. 7, Acts 22:9); as this is the translation used elsewhere. Saul is given three days for meditation (v. 9), and he made good use of the time. (2) Praying (v. 11). The result was (3) a vision (v. 12) (not only one, as there are others recorded) which resulted in changed individuals and nations. But his vision was (4) a thorough commission (v. 15). (a) to the Romans—'kings,' (b) Greeks—'Gentilles,' and (c) Jews—'children of Israel.' Along with his vision and commission there was given enabling power, the enduement of the Spirit. The agent God chose for the bestowing was Ananias, not an official, merely "a certain disciple." The gift of the Spirit for power and service is not necessarily by the "laying on of hands." It came to Mr. Moody as he walked the streets of New York without earthly companions. But the other conditions were fulfilled, a repentant, prayerful man and a ready and obedient servant who, though filled with fear and protest (v. 13, 14) yet takes God at his word and goes at once to his task. As we read verses 17 and 18 we discover that this special filling of the Spirit was very evidently given to Saul before he received Christian baptism— read the order of events carefully. IV. Saul Serving (1) At Damascus. Saul is given refreshment (he always lays emphasis upon the body) and straightway began to testify to the amazement of the people. From Gal. 1:15, 17 it is plain that he did not remain all of the time in the city, nor did he at once return to his friends in Jerusalem. This period is similar to the "hidden years at Nazareth" which our Lord spent ere he began his ministry. It was a time of rest, reflection, analysis, meditation and formulation of his "gospel" (Rom. 3:19-28). (2) At Jerusalem. His testimony was distasteful at Damascus (v. 23-25) and so he sought Jerusalem, only there also to distrust and relection. Then Barnabas did a great work for the Kingdom by showing his brotherly fellowship and trust and becoming sponsor for him to the early church. It was not long ere he had to flee Jerusalem and finally return to his childhood home, Tarsus (v. 31). Saul the Pharisee becomes a presacher of the Cross, the Master Empire-Builder. Let this lesson be a trumpet call to the reconverted in your class and school. The same Jesus in calling today for other lives of service and testimony. By REV. JAMES M. GRAY, D. D. Dean of Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—Behold a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel, which, being interpreted, is, God with us.— Matthew 1:22 The blessed season of the year has approached again when, in a peculiar sense, we contemplate the nativity of our Lord and Savior. The fact that there is no certainty as to the exact month, or day of the month, when he was born, will never militate against the observance of the 25th of December as Christmas day. Would that it were observed with more reverence than it is. PETER H. and with more thought of him than of Santa Claus, the pagan god, in whose name the world passes round its gifts. Nevertheless, it is of him that his people think, and they are glad of a special opportunity to press his name and his claims upon all who will give heed to them. Was He Born of a Virgin? It is the feature of his virgin birth that our text emphasizes, and that we have chosen to dwell upon in this discourse. Some of the destructive critics of the Bible as they are called, deny this. They are those who would empty it of the supernatural altogether and hence destroy faith in it as a divine revelation. Why they deny it is simply because they do not want to believe it. They have no proof to the contrary, but have just made up their minds that it is not so. Our proof is the statements of the Bible. The earliest promise of a redeemer in Genesis 3:15 foreshadows it. The prophet Isaiah predicts it in chapter 7 of his prophecy at verse 14, and both Matthew in this place, and Luke in the first chapter of his Gospel, verses 26-35, corroborate it. Of course, it need not have been so. We do not say that God might not have brought his son into the world some other way, and that he still might have accomplished redemption for us; but if we question the record at this point, we make it liable to be questioned at any point, and then the door is opened to deny Christ and to deny redemption altogether. Reasonableness of It. When you come to think of it why should not the Son of God have been born in just this way? If he were a pre-existent Divine Person as we know him to be, then some kind of a birth were necessary. It must have been by natural generation or of a virgin, and how could it have been in the natural way on account of sin? Jesus must be sinless to be a Savior of singers, and how could he be sinless unless he had a virgin birth? Oh, what a mystery this is! God clothing himself with our nature—that is the meaning of "Immanuel." And yet while the two natures in Christ are united they are not identical. There was a time simply when delty became man, it was not so eternally. And yet notwithstanding this union there is no human nature in God. Men are by nature human and only human, for there was only one incarnation of the divine, and that was Christ. Meaning of the Two Natures. But it was necessary that Christ should be human, else how otherwise could he have sympathized with us in our infirmity, and borne our sins in his own body on the tree? And it was necessary that he should have been divine, for how otherwise could his death have had sufficient efficacy for such redemption? Oh, who will receive him today by faith as the divine-human Savior? This is to know the peace and joy of salvation, and to enter upon the new year no longer as a servant of sin but as a servant of righteousness and of God. And was there ever greater urgency than now to do this? The awful comotion in the world cannot be without meaning for the future; and perhaps the very near future. But it is not only in the likelihood of sudden death to thousands upon thousands of our fellow men that we find urgency for this appeal, but in an event of much greater moment that stands back of all these things, and that is the coming of our Lord. He who came the first time as a babe and cradled in a manger, will come the second time, as the glorified Son of God and riding upon the clouds of heaven. He came before to save, he will come again to judge. "To unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation," as we read in Hebrews 2:28. But unto them not looking for him, but instead, crying "Peace and Safety;" i. e., peace and safety in the world's methods of bringing it about, will find "sudden destruction coming upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape." We read this in Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians at the fifth chapter. Would to God that more would read it, and believe it.

The Negro cannot afford to desert the Republican party., Out of its legislation sprang our citizenship, and out of our citizenship sprang their political supremacy. These are almost indissoluble bonds, for if broken by the Negro, he goes adrift; if abandoned by the party, it falls asunder and sinks to defeat. The Republican party is before the nation and the world as the author and supporter of Negro freedom, Negro suffrage and Negro citizenship. The Negro is the political beneficiary of the party, and he cannot break away or go against it without being accused of base ingratitude. We are still Republicans, and we shall still lay our claim at its door and insist that we are friends, and it cannot profit by making us weak. If we are dissatisfied with individual faults, we cannot hope to gain by taking revenge on the whole party. Grumbling, threatening and "digging up the hatchet" will only irritate the sore and retard the healing. If we have friends, let us hold on to them with hooks of steel. We must not leave the old ship, for all outside is nothing but sea. Oklahoma City has just passed a segregation law. Race proscription is running wild. The fundamental rights of life, liberty and property are being utterly disregarded. But the tide must come. There will be a day of reclamation. COUNT UP THE COST We will never submit to the laws.

When I began taking the Tressa Treatments my hair was very short, stubby and uneven. Madam Mays' Magic Hair Grower has improved it wonderfully and I heartily recommend "Tressa," the Magic Hair Oil, to all who desire a growth of thick, long hair in a short time. I am still taking the Tressa treatments, and am more than pleased to submit my picture to show actual results of the Tressa Method. I can say gladly and truly that the Madam Mays' Hair Grower has really worked magically for me. One year ago my hair was not more than three inches long, but by using the Mays' Magic Hair Grower "Tressa" according to directions, my hair is mow 14 inches long and thick in proportion, and growing constantly.

THEATRES BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER HAS A "CRACKING GOOD" SHOW THIS WEEK A lively and artistic show, full of originality, spiced with plenty of "pep," is on the boards at the Booker Washington Theater this week. It is an A No. 1 performance, that ranks with the best this house has ever offered. Before Straine and Bailey get half through the audience wonders if the bill has not been turned upside down with the best act first. This classy team immediately scores a hit with their excellent singing and artistic dancing. Every number goes big and the pair close in a storm of clauses. Clark and LeVere, a white team, in "The Policeman and the Maid," present fifteen minutes of snap-bang hilarity that keeps the house in a continuous roar. Their accordion medley and eccentric buck dancing are tremendous hits. Hudgins and Brumbray come third with another riot of humorous dialogue, spirited dancing and good singing. Their soft shoe and pony dance close the act with the people crying for more. Pennell and Holden close the show in a conglomerated mixture of kid character stunts. The female member has peculiar eccentric movements that carry the audience by storm. She is a little slender trick who can play the child part without exaggeration. A conversational song and dance brings the entire program to a fitting climax. Every act on this bill is a "feature," vicing with each other for honors. The show is a musical and comedy tempest in a teapot, bursting with enthusiastic art.

Women puffing cigarettes in restaurants is so common in New York that it no longer attracts attention, but when they do their smoking in hotel lobbies mere man is sure to give them the once over. One afternoon recently an attractive young woman was engaged in an animated discussion with a man in the foyer of the Vanderbilt hotel. She gesticulated with graceful waves of the hand and tapped a neatly shot foot impatiently against the floor. He fumbled for a cigarette case extracted a cigarette and lighted it. Then, as if remembering his manners, he extended the cigarette case with an apology. The young woman smiled her thanks, took a cigarette, rolled it defly between her fingers and perched it between her lips. She motioned her companion to give her a light, which he did. Then she took a deep puff and returned to the subject matter in hand. Of course, everybody in the lobby tried to appear unconscious. They looked at the palms, admired the cut flowers on the desk, and then went back to a discreet and veiled contemplation of the absorbed couple, enmeshed in their own problems and cigarette smoke. It is reported by the American consul general at Moscow Russia, that the petroleum producers of the Baku district are expertising considerable inconvenience from the scarcity of steel-wire rope. Previous to the war wire rope and wire to be made into rope by Russian manufacturers were imported principally from England. At present, in consequence of the limited exports of steel goods from England, steel-wire rope of British manufacture has almost disappeared from the local markets and its price has arisen from 300 to 400 per cent. At a conference held in Baku to discuss this subject, it was proposed temporarily to substitute for steel-wire ropes, hamp ropes, which it may be possible to obtain from India. It was stated that Swedish wire rope had been found satisfactory for the local requirements of the petroleum industry—Scientific American. "Diplomat's Work All Humbug." George Fred Williams, former minister to Greece, recently stated his opinion of diplomats in general, and said that they were the cause of the present European conflict. "I tried to be a diplomat," he said. "It is the most stupid business I know of. It was a matter of deciding on the right tie for a certain function and determining what kind of trouser I wear when we met the king and how to behave at dinner. It was a continual swapping of humbug with associates, and never, in any circumstances, lapsing into truth. It's the meanest, rottenest occupation a man ever got into." It Was Time He Learned It. "I waited three solid hours for that palm reader to get around to me." "Well!" "He told me I didn't get on in the heavens of my tendency to feel sweep time."

His ancestors were powerful mediums and have for ages handed down their wonderful power of gift from generations to generation.
