NEWSPAPER MEN CLOSE A SUCCESSFUL SESSION An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. XIII NO. 44 The Three Days Of Strenuous Business Dispersed With Pleasure. Adopt Resolutions. Next Ann'l. Session At Philadelphia. The twenty-sixth annual session of the National Negro Press Association, which has just closed a three days session here, was reported by the officers as being the most successful, from the point of attendance and entertainment. There were thirty-five registered representatives present, aside from the large number of proxies. One hundred and twenty-five publications were financial. The sessions were marked by a large volume of business. Subjects affecting the craft were discussed. A rare treat was enjoyed by the members of the press when they listened to a paper by C. A. Franklin, editor of the Kansas City City, Call, upon the subject, "Advertisers and Space Buyers," Mr. Franklin scored the "sponsors" who life what they are pleased to call "press agents" to send out each week their real advertisements under the cloak of "news." "These press agents," said Franklin, "think they are putting something over on us fellows. They play us for suckers, but their stuff usually finds its way to the waste basket when it is sent to me. This class is usually the non-advertisers, except what they get free, yet some of them have found good markets for their goods thru the free route." He stated that he had more respect for, and would have more respect for, the advertisers who bought and paid for only one fourteen line inch than he had for all the spongers. "At whatever cost, the Negro must gain respect for his buying power," said the spongers. "It is very serious matter for the advertisers who supply the Negro with the bulk of his needs, limit their advertisements almost exclusively to the white press. The Negro press, strengthened by the circulation built upon news, armed with fair rates and good service, can take its share of advertising, and along with the millions of dollars it receives for local and national advertising, it can win respect for the race in this practical age." All of the regular sessions were held at the Argus Hall. One session was held in the press room at Pore College, while the public meeting, Thursday night, was held at Pore auditorium. In his welcome address, on this occasion, Mr. A E. Malone made a most favorable impression upon the visitors, judging from the comments. Our Friday evening at the Y. M. C. A, an elaborate banquet was given in honor of the visitors by the local Negro-Business League. The twenty-seventh annual session will be held at Philadelphia, in 1926. Officers elected were: B. J. Davis, Atlanta, President; Jas. H. Bass, Los Angeles, Vice President; I. Willis Cole, Louisville; Recordling Secretary; Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville; Corresponding Secretary; E. Washington Rhodes, Philadelphia, Treasurer, and J. E. Mitchell St. Louis, Chairman of Executive Committee. Report of Committee on Resolutions We believe that in the interest of world peace and humanity, the share of the people in the United States should not or participate in the world court along the lines laid down by ex-President Harding, and we urge that our senators take prompt and decisive action in this matter. While we rejoice in the decrease of lynching during the 1924, and commend all agencies and influences that are contributing to the reduction of this crime, on the other hand the National Press Association goes on record as opposed to Jim Crowism in all its forms and manifestations; the filthy and congested cars and the correspondence insolence and contempt of many railroad traimmers. We further believe that a decent American citizen has a right to live where he is able to buy and where he wishes to. We dispute the right of any class of citizens to determine where another class shall live. We denounce segregation and its implications of inferiority and pledge our selves to help correct it everywhere and call upon our ministers and professional men to do the same. We denounce segregation in the Departments at Washington and the presentation of photographs of applicants for positions as another form of segregation, and call upon the President to use the influence of his great office to break up this American and democratic society. We believe that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is the best submitted to Congress for the suppression of Lynching, and urge that the Republican Party, which has a majority in both branches of Congress, redeem its pledges to the people and pass the Bill. We keenly realize that the Constitution of the United States is a safeguard for our Liberty, and which is our purpose in our history detail, we especially agree that the 14th and 15th amendments be rigidly enforced in common with all other amendments.

He depicted beautifully the faithfulness of the Negro to this great American commonwealth and prayed that the life of the Christ will find lodgment in the heart of every man and wo man in the world done race hatred will abolished race hatred of the world and man will be brothers in every sense of the word.

"DO RIGHT, NOT POPULAR THING" SAYS SENATOR Hon. A. H. Roberts Of Illinois, Delivers Rousing Message At Pine Street 'Y.' "Must Work Out Own Salvation" He Declares. State Senator A H. Roberts of Illinois, former layman, delivered a rousing message on "Political and Moral Courage," at the Pine Street "Y" Sunday afternoon. With forceful eloquence and fervent enthusiasm he pleaded for liberation and sound judgment on the part of the Negro in facing all issues. Supports 15th Amendment Senator Roberts praised the 18th amendment as one of the most beneficial causes of the national Constitution, the Negro. He spoke of his aid in passing the measure and declared he regarded it as a sacred duty, for which performance he had no apologies to offer. The Negro, above all other races, should seek to do the right thing, rather than the popular thing," he declared. "Prejudice can be greatly lessened by right conduct. Go along the lines of meritorious conduct and liberty and equality will follow." Downs Klan The Senator told of how he had introduced a bill to bore on the imprisonment of Ku Klux Klaners, which was passed, and how his life had been threatened. "What care I about death?" he declared. "I would rather die fighting on a senate floor than on a foreign battlefield." In referring to the ministry, Senator Roberts declared, "The times call for a true Christian ministry, not only to save souls, but to protect the lives and rights of the people as well." "Gad gives us the right kind of leadership, gives us statesmanship that will put us high an estimate on the lives of men as on the rights of property." Senator Roberts declared in concluding, "gives us political and moral courage." DR. GEO. W. TUCKER DIES Dr. Geo, W. Tucker, of the Tucker Business College, 4900 Cook avenue, and well known as a pharmacist, died at his home Thursday at 9:45 p.m. Dr. Tucker had been confined for about two weeks.

STEEL CITY'S MAYOR ASKS OFFICIAL TO RESIGN PITTSBURGH, Pa., Feb. 25—Mrs. Margaret S. Gray, white superintendent of the Bureau of Recreation in this city, whose administration has been especially conspicuous for its Jim Crowism, has been asked to resign. Mayor Magus. It could not be ascertained whether the city administrator's actions were prompted by the recent protest of colored citizens against Mrs. Gray's prejudiced practices or not. VICTOR MILLER AND THE POLICE There has been much said about Victor Miller and his part, as president of the Police Board in uniforming the Negro police. As one who was interested in the matter from the beginning, I will say, first of all, that it was the Negroes, themselves, who got the promise from Governor Arthur M. Hyde, when a few of us had a conference with him at Pythian Hall at the time he came to St. Louis, seeking support of his candidacy in the primary election against E. E. E. McJimsey of Springfield, his opponent. In the course of political events, Mr. Hyde was nominated and subsequently elected governor of the State. It was he who appointed Mr. Miller president of the Police Board, and naturally the colored people of the city expected Mr. Miller to carry out the promise the governor had made. Shortly after he was made president of the Police Board, the writer called on Mr. Miller at his office in the Boatmen's Bank Building, and asked him about putting on more Negro police and uniforming them. Mr. Miller made this statement at the time the request was made, "It is my intention to put on some more Negro police officers, but I do not intend to put them in uniform, as I believe a policeman can catch a criminal better without uniform." The crook can see the uniformed men a block away." To this statement Mr. Miller was reminded that a very large majority of the then present police force were in uniforms, whereupon, he answered, "Yes, that's true, but the city is badly infested with crooks too." A committee from the Missouri Negro Republican Club also called upon Mr. Miller about the same matter and they reported that they had been told practically the same thing. When reminded by the committee that the Negro vote had been a factor in electing the governor who appointed him, Mr. Miller said he cared nothing for their political influence, and shortened the interview by saying they might call another day, but warned them not to mention political influence. On this committee were E. T. Summytt, Irvin White and Chas. Baker. The writer then made a trip to Jefferson City and took the matter up with Governor Hyde, reminding him of his promise, telling him what Miller had said, and the Governor answered, "I have suggested this matter to the St. Louis Police Board, and [I will take it up with the board again shortly—Have a little patience." In about ten days, Mr. Miller telephoned me to come to his office. The first thing he said upon my arrival was, "Well (smiling broadly) I have decided to put 10 or 12 colored men on the police force, and I have decided to put them in uniform—how do you like that?" He was told that that was satisfactory. I make this statement at this time to show the attitude that the former Police Commissioner took with regard to Negro police when first approached on the subject. We do not say that it was only after he had been told Positively what to do by the Governor that Mr. Miller changed his mind about the matter on uniforming the colored police, but we can positively state that it was only after he had refused, making inconsistent excuses, and after an appeal to the Governor had been made, that he consented, or decided to uniform the Negro police. I am making this statement in the interest of truth and justice, that the public may have the facts in the case at this time when many wild and false rumors are being circulated. Catholics, Jews, Negroes And Greeks Assailed By The Klan A Former Policeman, Now Organizer For The Ku Klux Klan, Gives Some Inside Information On Klanology. Read And Think. The public will get a better idea of the workings of the Ku Klux Klan by reading the following story recently published in the St. Louis Star. We reproduce it at this time that the public may read and think. Star story, Feb. 5: The Rev. James Dunleavy, Ku Klux Klan organizer and former policeman, in addressing a meeting of approximately seventy-five klansmen last night at Schwartzman's Hall, Elm and Sutton avenues, Maplewood, beware was an some intelligent and could, so why some people did not belong to the klan. But Dunleavy believes that some day the nation will see the good of the klan and welcome it with open arms. In a mild voice, raised now and then to a lusty crescendo, he progressed, farther into his theme, telling how the Poe planned to control the next presidential election; how the Jews controlled the newspapers; how white women were not elected to be the central kitchen and how a Negro school board of St. Louis County hired white school teachers to instruct Negro children. they collect the money and the other four priests for the dead and hunt for men to join the church. They even control our post office. I waited twenty-six letters today and was afraid at the time to post them all at the place. That is one of the many things we must take care of. "Another serious problem confronting us, are the Jews. They control the financial world of this country. The bread trust is in their hands and elm leaf we purchase they sell on. Take it their very suit on our backs, the Jews tell us what we must pay for it. Look at the movies, Jew controlled. I went into a theater in New York recently, men, and saw girls parading before a crowd of Jews with not enough clothes on to fill a thimble. That is what the Jews are doing for us, men. "The Greeks are the cause of another serious situation. Our women, forced to work in their candy kitchens, are a threat to their Kansas City and I know what I am talking about." Negro Problem Discussed Changing his voice, which had risen He swayed his small audience by his obequence. Dressed in a somber clerical black, with his white collared collar standing out in bold relief. Dunkle nervously paced the floor and for two hours promped the doctrine of the klan, now and then interrupted by cries of approval from his audience. "Men," he began, "first of all I want to know that I am among friends tonight, so I will ask you three questions. Are you all Protestors? Are all of you native born? Are there any Jews in this gathering? I need not ask, just question men. I can see that there are not. Now men, I want to tell you some facts. Tells of Al Smith "Do you know that the Pope at Rome is planning to make a Catholic the next president, so he can journey to Rome and bow down before him? So he can lay American gold, our gold at his feet. It's a fact. I tell you there are others in the army to parry Sinai Castle in the at the presidential election, and they would have done so if it had not been for the good klaamen present at the convention in New York. The army and navy are composed of seventy-five per cent Catholics and right tonight they have us at their mercy. Take St. Louis, brothers. There are five priests at every church One of them collects the money and the other four pray for the dead and hunt for men to join the church. They even control our post office. I mailed twenty-six letters today and was afraid at the time to post them all at the place. That is one of the many things we must take care of. "Another serious problem confronting us, are the Jews. They control the financial world of this country. The bread trust is in their hands and the money is in their hands and the price is on. Take the very suit on our backs, the Jews tell us what we must pay for it. Look at the movies, Jew controlled. I went into a theater in New York recently, men, and saw girls parading before a crowd of Jews with not enough clothes on to fill a thimble. That is what the Jews are doing for us, men. The Greeks are the cause of another serious situation. Our women, forced to work in their candy kitchens, are unsafe if they remain there three weeks. I fought them in Kansas City and I know what I am talking about." Negro Problem Discussed Changing his voice, which had risen to a lusty crescendo, Dunkle discussed the Negro situation as it affected St. Louis county. "The Negro question must be discussed softly, brothers. They greatly outnumber us and we must handle this diplomatically. Right here in this county a Negro school board is in charge of hiring and firing white school teachers. They dictate to them. I asked a member of the community about it and do you know what he told me? He said it was best to leave them have their way, because they were in the majority. Are we going to stand for this? Do you remember what occurred after the Civil War? Those days will come again and we will be prepared, brothers. I only wish I could go on, brothers, but my voice is falling my, I am forced to close. I want to ask what brought, not to forget our next secret meeting, when he held at Webster Groves next Wednesday night. The seventy-five members slimly filed out of the ball into the night and vanished in the darkness to discuss again at their next secret meeting ways and means of saving America. Some folks figrubs dey's hurtin' de church wen dey get mad and quills but dey's all wrong 'bout dat. Hit don' neva 'hit de tree when de rotec apples fall off.

Have Recently Failed Because Of Lack Of Coherence. Prostown News Service. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 25.—Designed ultimately to embrace in its membership white Republicans in 17 Southern States, extending from the Carolinas to Missouri and south thru Texas and Arizona, the Southern States Republican League was formally started on its way last Thursday with the election of Charles U. Gordon, Vicksburg, Miss, as its first president. John Q. Eaton, Memphis was elected secretary. Of the 17 representatives were represented at the convention. Walter S. Scott, Birmingham, who was elected as vice president for Alabama, acted as chairman of the meeting. George D. Sheldon for Mississippi, and H. B. Lindsay of Knoxville, governor of the league for Tennessee. It is expected to create a more formidable phalanx in the Southern G. O. P. ranks to more effectually allay any aggressive movement on the part of Negro Republicans in Southern delegations. The organization plans to overcome this. SLIM HOPES FOR COLORED IN INAUGURATION PARADE WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 25. The inauguration promises to be a quiet affair this year. The president does not care for any extra pomp or show to accompany his taking of oath and inauguration address next Thursday. There will be a parade, but it will lack the grandeur and pageantry of those of former days. There is no certainty of any colored regiments being on parade. It is said that the twenty-fourth Infantry will be brought here if the War Department defrays the expenses. On March 3 and 5, there will be cancuses and conferences of colored Republicans, who attend the inauguration. H. PERRY RESIGNS. WILL REBUILD·SUB-CONCERN ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 25—Henan E.

Feb. 22, at the Porto, citizens of St. Louis were afforded an unusually rare treat in the lecture delivered by Mrs. Beatrice Forces-Robertson Hale. This was Mrs. Hale's second visit to St. Louis, coming, as she did previously, under the auspices of the League of Women Noters, and sent to our group for this occasion through the generosity of the League. Mrs. Hale is the sister of Sir Forbes Robertson, the English actor, and herself an actress, of no little nobility. Eminently fitted for her vocation, by birth, training and marriage, she captivated her audience from the beginning to the end of her lecture. little ability.

Being through God the producer of life, woman can better appreciate it and hate that which destroys life. It is to woman the world must ever try to look to eliminate war and bring about universal peace. Through the early teachings of children can the spirit of tolerance and respect for peoples of all nations she engendered "says Mrs. Hale. Either in the home, church or school does woman have charge of the child, and help she may found him to love, not only his own race but all masses, for there are noble characters and qualities among all peoples. him to love but all moss tractors and leses trees are die conception its own gain and literature presidential over and dignity.

Evans, accompanied by Miss Josephine Harris at the plaque and Miss Huffman on the violin, probably never sang so sweetly and effectively. All the muscle elicited striking compliments from Mrs. Hale and other visitors. The League of Women Voters, undoubtedly scored a splendid success for itself and the cause it has so vigorously espoused. From all sides both by men and women, unstated praise was given that organization which could count in its ranks one so brand, so generous and liberal in her views as Mrs. Hale. in uninstalled organization ranks one and liberal in CENSES We will paper your house and paint it too.

The oftener they come, the better they are, seems to be the rule with Sandy Burns and Company, playing a return engagement at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. The comedy has to do with the wedding of Liza Millson, played by Mary Davis and the rivalry between "Ashes," Sandy Burns, and the intended groom, Fred Hart. Sam Russell is comical as the "parson," and Bonnie Belle Drew, as the old fashioned mother, is a typical fidgety characterization. The entire company takes part in the ceremony, which "Ashes" finally breaks up. There are several specially numbered and the show is full of entertaining puppetry throughout the opening is a novel kiddie dance by the girls, "Ashes" and "Byto" Robinson then engage in a "home brew" row, "Queen of Egypt" is a lively dance by four girls: Mary Devis, Lillianian Carrol, Helen Penn and Marguerite Bolden, Jackson and Craig, with Misses Davis and Penn, also have an excellent number in "Too Tired." The "Mill" and its three bells is a humorous sketch. Miss Drew, assisted by Hart and the girls, spore a big hit with "Don't Stop Loving Me Now." After the Wedding, this real good show is brought to a close with a song and dance ensemble.

The saddest are these: "I've a cold again." An ounce of fresh air is worth a pound of cough syrup. One uncovered sneeze can spread disease germs for a radius of nine feet. Winter Colds Etiquette Sneezing over one's desk is not a virtue but a plain crime against the community. It is no longer noble to be "just crawling about." In fact, modernly speaking, it is much easier to go to bed until one is again fit to become a member of society. The person who doggedly sticks to his job under the handicap of a cold or other physical illment is not only working an injustice on himself, but on the countess other individuals with whom he comes in contact. A cold must not be neglected, for it is not a simple trifling annoyance, but a real disease - coryza. A cold may result in chronic cough, and it can also prepare the way for a serious heart trouble. The first symptom of diphtheria. typhoid, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough and smallpox may appear as a cold. Avoid sudden changes in temperature, overheating, drafts and wet feet. Eat more roughage, fruits and fresh vegetables. Above all, see to it that fresh air is always indoors. Too much warmth in a room is responsible to a greater degree for the present season's wave of coughs and colds than any other possible cause, not even excepting 60 much cold. The temperature is generally of from 5 to 7 degrees lower than is generally found in the home or office. the average person would enjoy better health. Life Line Shortens As Belt Line Extends A man's best line may be called his life line. Draw in the life line. Excessive fat wipes the health and strength of its victims and predisposes them to disease and premature old age. Fat is not an asset but a liability. The leem, long wristed individual, who spends his life trying first one method and, then another in a vain effort to get fat should be thankful to remain thin. It tuberculosis does not get him before he is thirty, he may be reasonably sure to live to a ripe old age. To seek good by doing evil is surely no safe plan. How can the infliction of misery on others be called a religious system. JEST-A-MERE ROOSEVELT THEATRE 810 N.

THEODOSIA HALL AND HER ORCHESTRA ROOSEVI THEATRE 810 N. LEF ANOTHER COLORED UNIT IN BURLESQUE By J. A. (Billboard) Jackson Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 25—Hurtig and Sean encourage by the success of the "Seven-Eleven" added a colored section to the "Fast Steppers" for the engagement at the 125th street theater. This section of the performance was provided by George Immerman's "Connie's Inn" floor show and the Leroy Smith band of that club with which the public has become well acquainted through the medium of its weekly radio program. The show worked on a full stage with the orchestra seated upstage in a funny interior. House patrons have become a bit accustomed to the peep and speed that characterize Negro choruses, and know what to expect in this direction, so there are many impromptu elements in connection. A half of this group was the total features of the hour and a half of this group was the fifty words of introduction by Leonard Harper, the producer and principal. Even this proved to be the gentle lead up to a number of songs. The next particularly noticeable feature was the dalyty and uniform beauty of the ten choristers. It was as nice a collection of octopon pulchrature as has been presented anywhere else; choreographers chose tastie and used a tidy sum in costuming them as befits the beauty they possessed. The act opened with the band under Leroy's personal direction doing two jazz numbers after the conductor had acknowledged a reception hand. Harpers speech ending with a song "Nothing New Under the Sun" Julia Moody followed in with Maimon's performance. There's Only One Mammy supported by four boys who later danced to the refrain. The choristers, followed in an old fashioned minuset costumed as was Miss Moody minita the make-up indicating old age. Wheaton and Bradley, a dancing team, then hit up some steps that went over well, the smaller of the two being especially favored with instrument. An orchestra number was put in at this jigure, one that permitted the several musicians to demonstrate their individual abilities. "Fats" Waller, a rotund gown looking plan- ST.

She has great piquancy and a nice mastery of her stones. Billy Mitchell "the boy with the insane feet" whom the audience thought must be otherwise insane as well, simply ripped them with his nonsensical delivery of Sweet Iodine and My Little Dog and his peculiar dances made possible by his double bass playing. His discursive and a chorus number featuring the Charleston followed him after he had declined encorces. Then came the Three Eddies and those bespectacled black faced boys walked away with their auditors for they sang and danced substituting grotesque mimicry for talk which was equivalent to a big drink minute the froth. Then the girls again, this time, in the familiar Hawaiian number made famous by the Florence Mitsch company leading to a finale that sent the folks away pleased, a fact that was indicated by comments freely passed between departing patrons. It was just a period of singing and dancing, the orchestra working continuously from beginning to end. FOR RENT—Furnished-room for couple in private family. 4104 Finney.

Feb. 25— Jack Hooper, an ex-slave, said to be 117 years old, died recently from the infirmities of old age. He had been confined to his bed since 1918. Hooper was born in Virginia-li 1808. Even after freedom was declared, he remained on the plantation and worked as a free man, until the death of his wife, at which time he came north. He was a physical giant, and up until near around the century mark he did labor to support himself and his second wife, a young girl whom he married after he was 60.

To our council could not have made a wise who have filed for that office up to the settlement carries with it responsibility Aloe, the council took upon itself two rulers a pledge to support Mr. Aloe, not to stay with him through the general power to make him mayor.

These men that they are doing, and not be, are speaking and acting in the best of their action on years of experience. A few among us, of course, who will and will possibly support some other candidate whether they have really looked into the role of the other candidates for mayor or now, and that is this; we, as a group,ances at this time, felt the influence of the Klan in this rights as citizens gradually being the no chances. In supporting some of the Republican ticket there is as much delaying with fire-brands. By supporting on the Republican ticket, we are flirted known as the Ku Klux Klan. We wish it. A grave responsibility rests upon the Ku Klux Klan. Surely this is a. tically on these things. "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil in this present world than race prejudice; none at all!" "It is the most single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." — H. G. Wells. We, here and now, congratulate the Citizens Council for endorsing the Hon. Louis P. Aloe for mayor. To our best way of thinking, the council could not have made a wiser choice from among those who have filed for that office up to this time. An endorsement carries with it responsibility. So, in endorsing Mr. Aloe, the council took upon itself two responsibilities. The first, was a pledge to support Mr. Aloe, not only in the primary, but to stay with him through the general election, and to do all in their power to make him mayor. The second, a very grave responsibility to the people which must necessarily follow their endorsement, because most of the leaders in the council are leaders of the people. These men and women know Mr. Aloe, not just yesterday, as it were, but of years, true and tried. These men and women fully realize what they are doing, and not being led by the bosses. They are speaking and acting in the best interest of the people, basing their action on years of experience in St. Louis politics. There are a few among us, of course, who will think and act differently, and will possibly support some other candidate. We do not know whether they have really looked into the fitness and qualifications of the other candidates for mayor or not, but one thing we do know, and that is this: we, as a group, can ill afford to take any changes at this time. We have felt the influence of the Klan in this city in that we have seen our rights as citizens gradually being taken from us. We should take no chances. In supporting some of the candidates on the Republican ticket there is as much-danger as there is in a child playing with fire-brands. By supporting one particular candidate on the Republican ticket, we are flirting with that hooded band known as the Ku Klux Klan. We wish we all could see the danger. A grave responsibility rests upon those who are encouraging the Ku Klux Klan. Surely this is a time to think, and think logically on these things.

Evening, but race prejudice is deep seale Calhoun has found it necessary a prejudice, he should be all the more zealous prejudice, when a jury is being selec In an address before the Credit Men's Association recently, Judge John W. Calhoun is reported as having said that he would like to see more credit men on the juries, especially, when a corporation or big business concern is being sued. He pointed out that juries are more or less prejudiced, and are swayed by their sympathies. We think that this is a very significant statement coming from a judge. He realizes that it is hard, or next to impossible for one to get justice under our present jury system when a jury is out of sympathy with the cause before it. This condition, to our mind, calls for more than mere passing notice. We are thinking of the hundreds and thousands of colored people, in this city, whose cases, before the courts seeking justice, suffer miscarriage of justice because their cases are decided by a prejudiced and hostile jury. Then, too, we are thinking of the possibilities of chances for members of the Klan being drawn as jurymen. We all know that it is absolutely impossible for a Negro to have the slightest chance for justice when a member of the Klan has to pass on his case. Judge Calhoun can see danger and injustice in cases of property rights when juries are prejudiced, we wonder if human rights are not greater. Would it not be the proper thing for Judge Calhoun to use his good offices to see to it that a more equal distribution of jury service is made among all citizens. - Property prejudice may be created at any time, circumstances always governing, but race prejudice is deep seated and abiding, and if Judge Calhoun has found it necessary to take note of property prejudice, he should be all the more zealous of guarding against race prejudice, when a jury is being selected before him.

When a Negro is charged with rape, he is immediately arrested, placed in fall, and by night THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, FEB. 27, 1925 NEGRO POLICE WERE NOT UNIFORMED BY V. MILLER Charged With Attempt To Mislead The Colored Voters. Governor's Letter Is Cited. Statements by Victor J. Miller, candidate for mayor at the coming Republican primaries, to the effect that he (Miller) is responsible for Negro policemen in St. Louis being in uniform have drawn fire from men who know the truth about the matter. These men claim that Miller is trying to obtain votes by asserting that he performed this service for the colored people, when, as a matter of fact, he did nothing of the kind. They point to the fact that Mr. Miller made similar assertions last summer in his race for the nomination for governor, and now repeats the offense, although the statement was refuted at the time. Governor Hyde's Letter Governor Arthur M. Hyde, in a letter, sent in reply to one written to him on the subject by Attorney Homer G. Phillips, says to Mr. Phillips: "Your statement of the case regarding colored policemen is substantially correct," and adds: "You will readily appreciate the fact that the Police Board itself must necessarily, under the law, have been the active agent, but also that the question of policy was made by the administration." In another column of the Argus it is shown how Mr. Miller was requested to put Negro policemen in uniform, when he was first made president of the Police-Board, and how he refused. It is also shown that appeal was made directly to Governor Hyde before results were obtained. It is, therefore, charged that Miller is attempting to mislead the colored voters on the question and to obtain their support in the mayoralty fight by "claiming credit for something he did not do." I am writing you at this time relative to a matter here, which because of some conditions, makes it necessary for me to make a statement relative to the same. Victor Miller and his campaign managers are claiming credit for the increased number of colored men on the police force of this city, and for placing them in uniform. This statement by them is not true. I am certain that you recall the conference we had relative to this matter, and Your pledge before your nomination for Governor. I feel reasonably certain that you also recall the conference arranged by me for you, at Union Memorial church, held one afternoon, where you met a number of colored ministers and other colored leaders and Where you repeated publicly the statement previously made to me about Uniforms for the colored members of the police force of our city. At that time I had never heard of Victor Miller and I am quite certain that he had nothing to do with obtaining your consent in the matter. And it occurs to me that it is as great a wrong to obtain votes by false pretense as it is to obtain property. I have no desire to quote or to in no wise involve you in a controversy. I am to speak the latter part of this week and proposed to discuss this matter, and shall place the credit for what has been done in this regard where it properly belongs.

As I now recall the matter the fact that colored men had been made policemen in Kansas City influenced me that the same should be done in St. Louis, which is probably the basis for your statement that I covered this matter in a statement made before election. After the Police Board was organized it was my recollection that this matter was discussed and colored police officers were authorized.

The newspapers pick it up, put it on the front page "Negro Attacks: White Girl 'Lynched by Crowd of Masked Men' Can't Be Identified" Negro Confessed." That is what the reading public gets without the details, and they form their opinion of the Negro from that. This sort of matter placed before the eyes of the people every month in the year soon makes a lasting impression, and that impression is that the Negro is a brute. That sort of feeling in a decent man sets up a fighting spirit in him and he goes on fighting in his heart a general hate for men he has never seen, about whom he knows nothing and who have never harmed him in any manner. All of this is a result of the unfair manners in which the newspapers present things. Sheriff Schuler has appointed five or six Negro men as deputy sheriffs. What the general public will think of these men as deputies will depend largely upon the sort of publicity the papers make of the acts of these men while on duty. All we ask is that the papers be fair with these men. Last week an incident happened in Judge Frey's Court and the Star immediately proceeded to give the Negro deputy sheriff a rough deal. These facts as I got them from the court room officials, are these: Charles Dunn, a Negro deputy sheriff in Judge Frey's Court had the custody of a boy牛 boy convicted of abused boys charged by boys' brother who was凶犯 demanded of the Negro deputy sheriff if the release of his brother; that is, not to lock him up until he could pay his brother's fine.

A. M. Hyde. became abusive and insistent, and the deputy sheriff had to strike him in order to keep his prisoner. The St. Louis Star, in reporting the matter, starts the article off in large black headlines, "Man is Attacked Near Court Room by Negro Deputy." If a white deputy had had a Negro prisoner and the prisoner's brother had done as the white prisoner, he would have been attacked by my life that the article would have been headed, "Negro Tries to Take Brother From Deputy Sheriff-Sheriff Uses his Gun in Line of Duty." Thousands of people will read the hold headlines and no more, form a bad opinion of the Negro. Deputy Sheriff and set their future actions in line with that opinion. I have read the St. Louis Star daily for five years and only in a few instances have I noticed its comment on anything that Negro-people do that is wrong, either does not know of such things or will not mention them. But the St. Louis Star can always seek out all the mean, criminal and ridiculous acts of Negroes and give them fully front page space under headlines that cannot escape the eye. Negro people are like any other people in that the best there is in them exhibits itself under the best circumstances. I feel that the Star and all the other papers of St. Louis owe it to the city's white and black, not to allow their papers to become medians through which seeds of strife may be scattered. S. E.

Dreer wrote a splendid novel, "The immediate Jewel of the Soul," but it did not prove a good seller. It was not the first novel for its construction and content for surpassed many of those found in the popular sellers that the reading public caters to now.a days. It was just another "flower borr." The public in the hustle and busie of life have their minds scattered in a thousand and one places scanning here, hesitating a bit there, but concentrating, generally, only when some new or unusual devices possessing the primary function of the psychology of attentions are present. Mr. Drice's production, as is the case with the works of most Negro althors, was not favored by a better success, chiefly, because it did not and could not readily comply with these necessities. The publications of most colored writers fall, not because of the incompetence of the author, but, as a market enterprise, squeeze a lack of appropriate environment. In most instances the stage is not set to receive their literature, and those few writings that do succeed nationally must grapple with obstacles on every hand. Where are the institutions fostering the discovery and encouragement of Negro literary talent? Where are the devices and practices stressing a more liberal patronage of Negro writings? Where are the forces for the stimulating and arousing of a broader interest in the products of colored au. thors? The tremendous handicap facing the colored writer becomes quite evident when one is confronted by such questions as those above. One of the practical and highly favorable suggestions that has been made for the solution of the problem of, the Negro author is the organization of a writers' guild. Such an institution would obviously do away with the majority of the drawbacks prone to beset the aspiring colored writer. Many towns have colored literary clubs and societies, but there is not one in the country (that has a professional Negro writer) with a professional organization of such an institution would no doubt mean the redemption of the Race's literature in America if adopted nationally. A writers' guild would be one of the most promising virtues that the colored writers of the country could turn to, whether they be essayists, poets, play-wrights, short story writers, or artists as a result would come through its tendency to unite the best colored writers, who would be able to work earnestly and intently for the welfare of the art. It would be a body that could work as no other in a manifold capacity to master the shortcomings and handicaps of the Negro in the field of life. Epitomizing greatly, the body could function in five important capacities: (1) By studying and analyzing Negro literature and its relation to the literature of other nations of the world. (2) By organizing a recognized board of literary judges to decide the merit of an author's works. (3) By keeping in touch with the schools and colleges attended by Negroes, and keeping constantly before them the life and practices of Negro authors and their works. Dr. Terry M.

Del. 5242-W HOURS: 8 to 12 and 3 to 8. Sundays By Appointment. (4) By conducting national literary contests. (5) By acting as a middle man in marketing the articles of colored authors. (This effort would involve a campaign to get the reader more interested in the work of colored writer more desirous of authorship as an occupation). It could not be expected that such a body could be organized on so broad a basis as a national or even a territorial basis in a day, a week, a month or a year. Everything worthwhile, if it be obtained fairly, must be obtained through slow making pilots for the slow tell what kind of a crop he is going to have when he sows a field of grain. He has the uncertainties of nature to contend with, but nevertheless, he has an end in view and he works to accomplish that end, for he feels that the benefits are worth all the hazards. With most, every project one starts for a goal but can never be certain of attaining it, but the benefits of improvement are likely littered by the attractiveness of the object. Thus it would be with the attempt of such a significant thing as the organization of a writer's guild. The students of English literature might well remember "Grub Street," the rendezvous of a group of poor and oppressed writers, victims of "literary patronage," whose determined spirit and iron will lifted them above the barriers, and saw the production of some of the foremost authors in English literature. It would be good if the Negro would start a "Grub Street" in America. Who knows but what a writers' guild might not do as much for the American Negro: in literature as earnest endeavor did for the downcast scribblers of "Grub Street." A writers' guild might be organized in Chicago, New York, Washington. St. Louis or any town. It might be a minute body with a seemingly insurmountable task at first, but if deep down in the pages of the book of its future program it has printed a plan working towards national expansion, some day it might be the great champion of the cause of the Negro man of literature in America. Such a project might seem as the myth of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but some day, who knows, it might mean the founding of a giant Negro publishing company consisting of works and products of colored thors; it might mean the establishment of a ranking Negro school of journalism, and the instigation of the founding of a Negro school of Fine Arts; (both of which would be valuable assets in collecting and disseminating priceless records of the history of the Negro, and the production of a representative art, which would not be such a stereotype of those of the white brothers —could not be attested a copying of products of a Nordic or any other civilization), and it would ultimately mean the allying of this Negro literary society with leading foreign and American literary societies, which would obviously bring a broader, bigger and better understanding between the Negro and other races of the world, and place his name in a higher place in the annals of history.

By Bjordan Cornell, professor of School Administration and Junior High Schools, in arranging for an absence of two weeks to attend the National School meet in Glennhill, made the following announcement Thursday, the 10th that: "Classes in Admitship are closed until the end of the bands of H. O. Cook of Kansas City, member of the Graduate School, Former Cornell '07." The class applauded. Mr. Cornel with characteristic modesty, tried to beg off, even declined, but none felt the choice could have been better an unusual honor to the race and to Kansas City. Also a responsibility, doubly carried, for under such circumstances as this, every comp an individual and also a racial possibility to acquit himself with credit. With the approval of Dr. Jordan, Mr. Cook recently spent a week in a tour of inspection of the newest ideas in high school and junior high school construction and administration in Baltimore, Washington, D.

See That Your Advertisement Appears In This Paper ARE YOUR DOLLARS SAFELY SECURED! THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO Government Wants No American Racial And Sectarian Activities To Disturb Its Fellowship. Associated Negro Press. TORONTO, Ont., Can., Feb. 25. Hon, Lincoln Goldie, provincial secretary of Ontario has within the last few days dismissed the petitions of two Ku Klux Klan organizations for a 'charter to organize in Ontario. In dismissal she has written the sectarian "There will be no charters for Ku Klux Klan in Ontario" and declined to discuss the question further. The Sovereign Knights of the Ku Kux of Gt. Britain was the cogmen adopted by the petitioners, who came from Windsor, and who stated that they would organize as soon as charter was received. Their beitation was refused last week. The Ancient and Invisible Order of K. K. K. of Kanada initiated about 200 under the direction of a Kleagle from Montreal, who styled himself Mr. X. They are supposed to have secured a Hall on Yonge street, Saturday night; but their plea for, a charter fell on deaf cars as old those of their rivals. Klansmen Larsen and MacGowan from Buffalo visited the city some time ago for the purpose of organizing a branch of the American Klan. He appeared at Orange Hall and asked to explain their mission to Canada, but the Orangemen, who by the way have not a few colored members, gave them their marching orders. The Toronto Telegram, the organ of the Conservative Party of which Mr. Goldie is a member said: "The way to keep the Ku Klux Klan out of Canada is to keep the American racial and sectarian activities and organizations out of Canada. The same race and creed activities that produced resistance from the Ku Klux Klan in the United States will produce the resistance in Canada either in the name of the Ku Klux Klan or some other name." Negro Health Week April 5 Associated Negro Press. TUSKEOGE, Ala., Feb. 25—National Negro Health Week will be observed this year April 5-11, according to the announcement made by Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. They community is being urged to observe this week and put forth every effort to make this year's observance the most effective since the beginning of the movement. In conjunction with the Annual Tuskegee Negro conference and the National Negro Business League, more than two dozen other organizations are co-operating in the movement. The program for the week is as follows. Sunday, April 5 - Sermon and Lecture Day, Health sermon and lectures by ministers, doctors and other qualified persons. Monday, April 6—Hygiene Day. Personal and community hygiene talks by doctors, visiting nurses, social workers and other qualified per sons. Tuesday, April 7—Fly, mosquito and disease spreading and Insect Vermin Day.

J. L. Caston, D. D., of 4548 West Belle Place, it was learned this week, has been asked to assume the pastorate of the Wills Community Church of Winnipipe, Canada, at the earliest possible date. This news comes as a surprise to his many friends here as it was gener- ally hoped that he would accept a position in St. Louis, due to the fact that he has been sought here. Other cities, among them being *Wekoku* la.; Pittsburgh, Pa. and Washington, D. C., have also extended him invi- tations to accept charges in their minders Max. Caston has made a splendid record as a minister and is an organizer of exceptional merit as well as a scholarly and finished pulpitteer. He let it be known that he has not decided upon the course he will pursue but acknowledged that the Winnipig proposition will be given to him. He said "It is true that I have been called to Winnipig and The Wills Community Church offers a very urgent appeal. I will, of course, arrange to visit them and get first hand information. The church is reputed to be a large field for service and offers a very interesting monetary consideration. I understand Winnipig is the capital of the province and propolis in the province, having a population of nearly 200,000. I can't say what I'll do. The whole thing is a surprise to me." The Rev. Mr. Caston, just recently closed out a four year successful pastorate at Columbia, Mo., and has held numerous places of honor in his church and state. Missourians, in general, as well as St. Louisans, will regret to see him become a resident of the British Empire. Notes On Labor Conditions By ELISHA GREEN For the Associated Negro Press Letters from the big firms at Youngstown, Pittsburgh, Gary and Duluth, state that while they are gradually increasing their forces they have a great surplus of labor to draw from and advise against large numbers, coming and seeking employment. It is to be hoped that our people of the South will not start/come North until there is a change in the situation. The New England states report a building program of over three hundred millions of dollars for 1925. They should open the way for many skilled men, but the demand will hardly start until the weather breaks. There is some demand for skilled men in the molding trade. Colored molders are scarce—and for the man who learns this business there is steady work in every steel district. Michigan reports an excess of comon labor. The demand will depend largely upon the demand for autos and so far the demand has not justified any great increase. Should the demand take on momentum in the first quarter of this work for a large number inasmuch as many persons who came last year have returned South. Persons coming north must consider the high rents in the large cities. Most people wish to come to any one of the larger cities and these are generally the last ones to consider because of the high rents and food costs are rather lower in the North than in the South, but the high rents make up for the difference. General good advice for those who hope to come North is that they do not come unless they have a job ready for them when they arrive. Do not pay attention to rumors and reports of friends. Rumors are usually false and friends who are working for themselves have little opportunity to get the exact conditions of business and labor demand. They may see a new face now and thea and conclude that there is work to be had, but they do not see the crowds at the gates waiting to come in. Be sure you are right before you venture. The newspapers of the future will be issued tomorrow. No wonder the up.to.date girl limps after being vaccinated. The St. Louis Argus ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,FEBRUARY 27,1925 THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE St. Louis, Mo. February 25, 1925. To The Public: We take pleasure in advising you that we are interested in financing and constructing Churches and especially interested in lending our service to the needs of the Colored Churches of St. Louis and y睫hcn. Our method of carrying out this work is through First Mortgage Real Estate Bonds, issued by the Church being constructed or financed, the sale of these Bonds being made for the most part to members of all churches on easy payment plans. Those investing in these bonds will receive six percent interest on the money invested, which is twice the amount usually received on savings, and at that rate, not only has the security of a First Mortgage to protect his investment, but has also secured financing on a sound basis which in our judgment, leads to the betterment and stability of the community as a whole. We are at present under contract to finance the $75,000 Fifth Baptist Church of St. Louis; (Rev. J. T. Caston, Pastor); and the First Corinthian Baptist Church, of Lovejoy, Ill. (Rev. K. E. Crump, Pastor) and we solicit your hearty co-operation in these two worthy projects. Prejudice In Washington, D.C. Staff Correspondence Associated, Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 25. Over in Cleveland, Ohio, some years ago, there was a minister, whose attitude and demeanor were such that the bishop told him, "Give a Damm Jones." He is a character now almost forgotten but his name, like the spirit of John Brown, goes marching on. Going about the nation's capital, center of learning, culture, beauty and government, one is led to inquire whether the city of magnificent distances has developed the Damm Jones attitude. There is much more much to bring the question to one's mind. This is particularly so, so regards colored America. Time was when Washington was an ideal nation's capital. Prejudice or at least discrimination, was at a minimum. Colored people were a persona grata, at least apparently, in the good old days, and too they were your call when there were colored congressmen, and there was representation in the United States Senate, and in practically all of the departments, on an equal and fair basis. Hotels were open, one of the most notable owned by a colored family, the Wormley's. You could purchase a hotel where Colored people were invited, Colored people to be present at state functions, Restaurants were opened, as they should be, to all trade. What is the situation, today? It is practically the opposite. There are no members of Congress, no not one; not a single representative for a group of 12,000,000 people. All of them have been eliminated more successfully than the Black Plague. There is not a single theatre or resided downwind where colored people were located, decently and most of the theatres, restaurants and restaurants give you to understand strictly that they "do not cater to your people," and they get away with it famously. The conditions of government departments in Washington is an age old scandal. Segregation in its viles form not only obtains, but thrives. Born with trepidation under the Republican administration of William Howard Taft, it reached bloom under Woodrow Wilson, and continued under Warner Biology. Warren G. Harding in some places, segregated signs have been taken down, but the segregation itself has not been eliminated. The Associated Negro Press representative has not only seen these unfortunate conditions, but has talked with scores of government employees who are compelled to suffer the embarrassment and inconvenience of promotions are held to lowest ebb. The scores of departments where faithful and intelligent racial workers, on merit, should be made heads and chief clerks, and the best they can get, with ugly protestations, is a first class clerkship. These employees talk among themselves up in Northwest Washington, hold secret meetings to work out plans to buttress segregation, take the chance of writing a letter to a superior officer, or a member of Congress, but there is little progress made. Congressmen Play a Grand Game. Speaking very frankly, ninety percent of the members of the Senate and the House, play a grand game of "passing the buck" or "Don't Give a Damn" and get away with it. The actual situation is this: Count the southern members out to start with, and then the Damn members out to places by bering the Negro, and distranchisement. Their cockiness in Congress is only exceeded by their ignorance and egotism, which are one and the same. It is a distressing sight to any red-blooded American, regardless of color, to see their strut about in their activities on the floor of their respective households, to help thinking that they are there because "If I Give a Damn" attitude of American citizens, who seek to make a mere seren of paper of the great Constitution. Then there is a large group of countries northern states who have few. If any colored constituents. The matters that affect colored, America give them but little concern. There are in this group, however, a small few who will come to the rescue of justice and right, when it is brought up to them, but they never go after anything. Then there is that smaller group, the senators, who come from the states, where the colored voter has political power. This last group is a magnificent study. This last group often has things brought to them, more or less forcibly. They are active near election time, and vacillating afterwards. There are few exceptions to this rule. They shy from racial matters, and only handle them with a long handled spoon. If colored American voters could keep close to them in other days, in the hotels' clubs, cloak rooms and places where they can "get their heads together", there would be no segregation in the departments, photographs would be eliminated from civil service regulations, and in the city of Washington itself, the nation's capital, there would be as little discrimination, public, regardless of the southernners, as there is in New York. Boston and Chicago. Such a condition should obtain, and it remains to be seen whether the inauguration of Coolidge and Dawes will bring about a new day. There are those who believe it will, and there are plenty who doubt The "Don't Give a Damn" attitude has become so general that colored Washington tolerates it; even though it does not, grin about it, and those from the forty-eight states seem to forget, that this is their capital, and they should rise up and claim it as their very own. When will the capital stop saying "We Don't Give a Damn." THE TOWER By ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS By Tower Man For the Associated News Press For the Associated Nerdy Press. Why is a Tower. See answer below. "Beware the Idea of March." That is, howward of its weather the fourth of March in Washington, and take along your galsos. The art of being funny is not nearly so hard a job as the art of being witty. Being funny is habitual; being witty is intellectual. If Aunt Haragar's children of Sunkissed America had all the things Mr. Fred's folks have stolen from them they could buy out Henry Ford. Thomas Edison, the wizard of electricity, at eighty, on request of his wife, sleeps six hours a night instead of his proverbial four. There are some folks we know who appear never to sleep. Floyd Collins, trapped in a Kentucky cave, stirred the sympathy of the world, and gave up his life. There have been many colored men trapped by lynch mobs, and gave up their life, who hardly got a passing chance. Mr. Collins read to the Man: "I don't even read it. It just one less cracker to have against us." Conditions and such thoughts peril Americas future. Frederic William Upham, former treasurer of the Republican National Committee, honored and honorable citizen of Chicago, successful business man, has gone to his fathers, Mr. Upham was one of those tolerant citizens of Chicago, successful business, who helped in the pinches, but had his ideas of racial limitations. He was a friend to man, but cautious with his power. The editorial page of our racial newspapers, *most of them*, has developed with delightful satisfaction. We know some editors who take as much pride in the opinion, standard and typographical beauty of their editorial page as they do in their home. They guide it and protect its influence. There is a grand future for a people who develop such editors. "Sing a song of six-pence." Sunkissed *American* sings, and sings and sings, everywhere, at work at school, at church, at play. The taxi driver told me: "I was singing up there so happy. I forgot to pull the flag." The singing in the cottonfields, "the mines, the steel mills, is one of the traditions of American development. The barber shop chords followed the glories "in the evening by the moonlight." Out of it all we have Roland, Hayes, Marina Anderson, Florence Cole Tubert, and scores of other artists, two continents, Sing, "Lift in your heads and sing." During the interracial exchange of pulpits on the Sunday nearest Lincoln's birthday, the choir of a racial church furnished the singing in one of Detroit's fashionable white churches. A white woman member sat agastah with surprise when, looking up at the choir she discovered her cook as one of the world listeners. "Sing; the world, listens." "Hope, see, stare and love hears the rustling of a wing." One of the close associates of the Tower Man recently dubbed him a "Chiminal Optimist," "sall right." "Upon this rock I build my church and the gates of hell shall not pre-vaill against it." Optimism is burned in my soul, and doubtless there are times when I have been foolhardy with it. Without it, I would be nothing, I would be a miserable creature. Let those who will relish sophistication, cynism, pessimism and forever sing the blues. As for me and my house we will sing: "I Want to be Happy, and Want you Happy too." Brown and Stevens, Bankers of Philadelphia, are in the hands of receivers. Philadelphia, a splendid Eastern, conservative city, has been made a business center for the group, like many other Northern centers, because thousands came from the South. Andrew Stevens is a native of Philadelphia, aristocrat in the manor home from the South, a man of vision and progressive ideas. It is fondly hoped that we will some day find our way out of these economic catastrophes, and we will. White America has doggedly shut us out of the great business world, and we have gone into it on our nerve, with little experience, and certainly with little of the sympathy or co-operation that goes to others in a crisis. We face this issue of two ways. Encourage us, especially with protection, or combine with such whites as will venture into the business field. Dr. George E. Haynes, of the Federal Council of churches, headquarters in New York, stated to the Tower Man that he is firmly of the opinion that we are passing through a great crisis in race advancement. "We have clamored for self expression, self development and self advancement. Now, we must either prove ourselves capable of success, or failure." Haynes. He is of the opinion that we should more and more co-operate with white America and not try to do it all by ourselves. William C.

Herman Perry, President of the Standard Life Insurance Company and organizer of sames has resigned from all official connection with the organization. He sometime since resigned from the office of President of the Citizens' Trust Company, and was succeeded by Dr. Wilkins, a man of fine character and achievement. Mr. Perry became Chairman of the Board, he has resigned from that, and is now only connected with the Service company, a real estate organization. B. J. Davis, speaking editorially in the Davis, Indiana paper, has very highly of Mr. Perry's division to disconnect himself, and of his ability as an organizer, but questions his ability as an investor and preserver.

DUTTON, 3224 Chouteau Ave. COLUMBIA, Mo., Feb. 25—The colored people at Columbia, Mo., are very much interested in the case of Ivory Hudson, a World War veteran and his wife, who are being "persecuted" in that city, simply because of their color. Hudson, the story says, "was in humanly treated and his wife was put in a cell with a female blood hobbit. The colored people feel defender of Hudson is a defense of the race. Mr. J. B. Coleman, a prominent colored citizen of Columbia, makes a statement of the case which is ds follows: the Legal Proceedings "Ivory Hudson, a young man about 30 years of age whose home is in McAlester, Oklahoma. is a World War veteran and Tubercular patient from the Veterans' Hospital near Coxage. Hudson has not been able to charge him, he was discharged from the service close of the World War. He was a patient at the Veterans' Hospital near Chicago, December 1, 1924, but was advised by the Hospital authorities to go to his home in Oklahoma for the winter, as the climate there was thought to be more beneficial to his weakened condition. Leaving Chicago early in the month of December, 1924 he came with his wife in a Ford touring car through St. Louis traveling State Highway No. 2 on the sixth day of December reached point on the road five and one half miles east of Columbia, Missouri. Reaching said distance a little after dawn of that day. Here he was ascending hill, up which came from the opposite side R. P. Reel, a white man, driving 42 heads of young cattle which Reed had on that afternoon unloaded from a Wabash car, after dark and dark up R. P. Reel with his cattle going up same hill in the opposite direction the met at or near the door of the other's presser, and before Hudson could stop his Ford he was right in the midst of some of the cattle straggling to ahead of Reed Hudson here stopped his car to pay toll the cattle to pass. Reed told him to drive on and came up to the right side of Hudson's car; after looking in and finding the occupants to be Negroes, he began cursing them in violence, and without further warning struck at Hudson thirteen wind-shield with heavy stick or peeking windshield of Hudson's car entirely in front of the glass with such force that the pieces cut Mrs. Hudson about the arms, hands and face. At this juncture Hudson pushed a revolver thru a curtain hole on the left side of the car and fired two shots away from the other side of the car where Reed was pounding it. This had the desired effect to make Reed run from the scene of action, R. P. Reed then went to a nearby neighbor, Joe Baumgartner from whose house Reed telephoned to a Police of Columbia to himself in his garage for running into his cattle shooting at him. This the Columbia Police did, meeting Hudson at the City limits, coming to Columbia for the purpose of reporting the matter to such person in authority as he might find and get needed protection on the public highway. Policemen Hupper and King brought Hudson and his wife to the City hold-over for 'detention. Hudson told his story of the accident but they put him in prison just the same. Then the question arose as to what should be done with Mrs Hudson; the chief of police ordered her to be put in prison also. Both Mrs Hudson and her husband prosecute, none nothing and should not be put in prison over their protests she was, forced into a cell with her husband and other prisoners where she remained for several hours. After 12 o'clock a.m. December 7, more prisoners were brought in and the room was needed for some white men arrested for being drunk; Mrs. Hudson was then taken out of that cell where her husband was and forced into a cell with a female blood bound where A TRADE MAKER PAGES 9 TO 14 Terenan And Wife ted At Columbia And Are Making A Fight in Self Defense she was kept for the next two days. During all that time no charges had been filed against her, nor have any charges been filed against her subse- quent to that time up to and inclu- ding the time of this writing. "When Hudson object to the treatment accorded him, some of which caused a hemorrhage from his lungs and to the imprisonment of his wife, some of the Police force ordered him not to be toolsmart or they would take him to the Stewart Bridge and would dispose of him as had been done with other smart "niggers," thus connecting their treatment of men with the "mob hagging" of James and from that Stewart Bridge in April, 1994. "The County Prosecuting Attorney filed information for three felonious acts and tried hard to send Hudson to the Penitentiary and R. P. Reed brought civil action to get Hudson's car. "When the Columbia Negroes learned of these facts they saw their rights as men and women, as civilizers or as any kind of human beings swept away. That cruel treatment of a good woman and an innocent man aroused the Columbia Negroes as nothing before has done in the history of his history. Investigation proves Hudson's he be an unrightly young man but seriously sick. Tuberculosis contracted while defending the honor of his Country and making the world safe for democracy. All the money he had with him when he and his wife were put in prison was gone when four days later. Mrs. Hudson was permitted to have possession of their property. Hence the Hudson cause became humanity's cause. Already more than $300.00 has been entrusted by the Columbia, Mo. Negroes to the Hudson defense Fund, but more is needed. "We, here in Columbia, feel that Hudson's legal battle is the Negroes' legal fight and for that reason we are asking the public elsewhere to aid us in our efforts to get justice in the Courts of this land. One judgment has already been rendered against Hudson and that case has been referred to the Suprine Court which required it to follow up. Other cases pending will also have to be followed if life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is to be maintained for Our Group in Cumbria, Missouri. Therefore a general call for help is sent out. "We are especially appealing to the Knights of Pythias of Missouri to send us some of the Legal Defense Funds suggested at Randolph Springs in the session of 1923. We have shown these findings and ask aid from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. All others who will, please come to our aid. This fight is yours as well as ours. "This case is being handled in the courts in a masterly manner by an attorney." J. B. Coleman, P. O. Box 332, Columbia, Mo." Preston News Service.
