TINDLEY TO TALK AT CHURCH GATHERING HERE Pastor Starts as Janitor; Now Has Largest Methodist Church in World. Begins Schooling When 17; Completes College Course in Twenty Years. Starting as janitor in East Calvary Methodist church, Philadelphia, Pa. 24 years ago, Charles A. Tindley has now risen to the place of pastor of the charge, and in that capacity will attend the Methodist Men's conference of the St. Paul area, to be held at the auditorium, Nov. 22 to 24. Dr. Tindley, scheduled in the program pamphlet as "one of the popular pulpit orators of American Methodism," will be one of the prominent speakers at the conference. Born in Maryland, Dr. Tindley never attended school or went to church until he was 17 years old. Once he had started his college course, it took him 20 years to complete it. He has been unofficially ranked as one of the greatest natural orators in the country. When Mr. Tindley first went to his present charge 24 years ago, the church membership was 150. At present the roll numbers more than 9,000 people, and the church is rated as one of the largest Methodist churches in the world. The conference which Rev. Tindley will attend is under the direction of Bishop Charles E. Locke of the St. Paul Area. It is expected that there will be approximately 3,000 people at the St. Paul meetings. MISS WILLIAMS IS GUEST OF 'U' MISS WILLIAMS IS GUEST OF 'U' National Colored Secretary of Y. W. C. A. Passes on Way to Student Meeting. Frances Williams, national colored secretary of the Y. W. C. A., known as one of the best leaders of discussion on the race problem in the country, visited in Minneapolis Tuesday and Wednesday. While she was in the city, Miss Williams was entertained at the campus of the University of Minnesota. Several teas and a luncheon were given in her honor by various campus groups. She spoke to classes in sociology, and Wednesday afternoon held an open forum on the race problem in Shevlin hall. Tuesday evening, an informal discussion group for University students was called at the home of Miss Helen Jackson, Minneapolis, at which Miss Williams outlined plans for a bettering of race relations on the campus. The meeting was also attended by Miss Gerlach, one of the white national traveling secretaries. Wednesday evening, Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority gave a small dancing party in honor of Miss Williams at the home of Kathryn Tandy. Miss Williams was on her way to the State Student conference at Northfield, which opened Thursday evening and will close tonight. She will be one of the leaders at the religious meetings, and has been featured prominently in the advertising of the conference. WOMAN SENTENCED TO SHAKOPEEF FOR MURDER Theresa Hollis, accused of the murder of her sister, Mrs. Odessa Hicks, was found guilty of manslaughter in the first degree, and was sentenced by the court to serve a term of from one to ten years in reformatory for women at Shakopee, Minn. The most sensational features of the case were the conflicting views offered by the defense and the state attorney. The state asked for a conviction of murder in the first degree, and the plea of the defense was that the accused acted in self defense. It was added further that the woman up for trial was the mother of a young girl who needed her protection.

Union Services Replace Annual Charity Dance Annual union Thanksgiving services will be held Thursday morning at St. James A. M. E. church. Rev. L. W. Harris of Pilgrim Baptist church, St. Paul, will deliver the sermon. All churches are invited to participate. For nearly fifteen years, it has been the custom of St. Paul churches, regardless of denomination, to hold an annual Thanksgiving service to which all the congregations go. In the past, the services, which have been rotated from church to church, have been very popular. Before the time when the union church service was started, a charity ball was given, the proceeds of which were given to deserving institutions. The collection Thursday will go to Crispus Attucks Home. Rev. B. A. Graham of Tacoma, Wash., will preach at St. James church tomorrow morning.

PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1925 WOMEN DECLARE AGAINST RIOTING State Meeting of Mississippi Women Leaders Frames Protest Covenant. (C. I. C. Press Service) Jackson, Miss., Nov. 20.—Representative Mississippi women, leaders in many important religious and civic groups, have launched a determined compaign against lynching and mob violence in this State. The opening gun was fired at a state-wide meeting held here, which framed and adopted the following: "We believe in only the single standard of morals for all races, and unquestionably in the protection of the womanhood of the races. We also believe in the law, and that it should, under all circumstances, be respected and upheld by all citizens. Therefore we deplore mob violence for any crime and desire to register our protest against lynching or any other form of mob violence." This statement has since been presented before other important gatherings of women and has in every case been adopted without a dissenting vote. It is understood that efforts to crystallize public sentiment against lynching will be pushed throughout the state. Promoters of the movement say that the mobilization of the women of other Southern states along similar lines has been followed in every case by marked decrease in the number of lynchings.

WITNESS ADMITS SWEET NEIGHBORS MET TO PROTEST Woman Gives First Testimony to Effect That "Anti-Negro" Meetings Were Held. Indications Seem to Show State Cannot Sustain Conspiracy Charge. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 20.—After a shot from a gun in unknown hands had killed Leon Breiner, neighbors who had once before met to discuss the undesirability of a Negro neighbor, held a second meeting the night after the shooting, it was revealed Thursday. It was Darrow's first time to get an admission that the whites of the neighborhood had held a meeting. The admission came from Mrs. Florence Ware. She said that they went into the street. "The crowd," she began, but changed and said the policemen on the corner and the people who were there. After Darrow had gotten her to admit that meetings had been held and that there was a crowd, she said that she did not see any stones thrown. No Conspiracy Seen by Court. Though the state produced considerable evidence that Breiner was killed by shots fired from the Sweet house and that little or no disturbance preceded the riot, Judge Frank Murphy said Friday that he did not consider sufficient testimony had been adduced to justify a charge of conspiracy to murder. The judge's statement seemed to completely surprise Prosecutor Toms. Dismissal Is Predicted Dismissal Is Predicted. So far the state's testimony tends to show Sweet moved into his house after a period of race troubles in (Continued on page 2) DEATH CLAIM PAID Mrs. Terry, mother of Mrs. Odessa Hicks, was the beneficiary of the first death claim paid in Minnesota by the Royal Circle.

Clubwomen Learn Secrets Of Baking In Factory Tour Sixty Guests of Harriet Tubman Civic League Go Through Plant of Griggs, Cooper & Co. in Midway District. More than sixty women and friends were guests of the Harriet Tubman Civic League, Monday afternoon on an educational tour through the factory of Griggs Cooper & Co., manufacturing wholesale grocers in the Midway district. Competent and courteous guards escorted the women through the various departments where over one hundred food products are manufactured. The huge bakery was particularly interesting with its barrels of different kinds of flour. All shapes and sizes of cookies and crackers are baked in immense ovens, then placed on conveyors to be beed by girls in immaculate uniform. Preserving and canning of fruits and syrups is handled entirely by machinery; only the labels are placed on the bottles and containers by hand. In the candy department, hundreds of trays with individual starch molds twine out delicous fondant creams preparatory to being dipped in a rich coating of chocolate and being packed and shipped in Christmas boxes for the enormous holiday trade. Many housewives who use Home Brand vaccuum sealed coffee daily on their tables were keenly interested in the machinery which automatically sealed the cans making them air tight. This tour was the fourth one sponsored by the league, of which Mrs. (Continued on page 4) WIFE OF LAWYER SUSTAINS INJURY WIFE OF LAWYER SUSTAINS INJURY Mrs. W. T.

METHODIST UNION LOSES ON BALLOT METHODIST UNION LOSES ON BALLOT Vote Shows South Opposes Unification of North, South M. E. Churches. (Preston News Service) Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 19.—Opposition of the South will prevent the reunion of the Methodist Episcopal churches, North and South, it was announced by Bishop William F. McDowell, of Washington after the forenoon session of the Board of Bishops of the Northern church in session here last week. Bishop McDowell said that apparently the church of the South objected to the admission of Negroes to the church and also felt that it should preserve its historic identity as a separate and distinct religious jurisdiction. Although the referendum on the question of union has not been completed in the Southern church, the vote so far registered has decided against union. Both the Northern church at its general conference in Springfield, Mass., and the Southern church at its meeting in Chattanooga, Tenn., in 1924 the latter by a small majority, voted in favor of the union but the question had to be submitted to the various district conferences.

PRICE FIVE CENTS DELEGATES FROM ALL NATION HOLD POLITICAL REVIEW Discussion of Problems Which Affect Negro Covered in Washington Conference. More Than Fifty Attend Body Protests Against Alleged Civil Service Discrimination to Coolidge. (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Nov. 20.—Fifty or more race men from all sections of the country gathered in Washington and held a meeting Armistice Day. A discussion of the political situation in this country as it affects the Negro held the attention of the conference. The organization is known as the National Political and Economic Conference, and the meeting was held in the rooms of the Mu-So-Lit Club. The conference was called by Bishop A. J. Carey of the A. M. E. Church, who invited a number of prominent Negroes from eighteen different states to attend. A banquet was held in the New Liberty Hotel Wednesday night. Thursday the delegates called on President Coolidge, and it is said, laid before the President a strong protest against alleged discriminations against Negroes by the Civil Service and in the government departments, as well as to the unfair treatment Negro passengers receive on the railroads in violation of the laws providing for separate but equal accommodations for white and Negro passengers. They asked the President to issue an executive order abolishing alleged discriminations and segregation in the federal departments. Among the matters discussed at the Wednesday meeting were the economic outlook of the country, especially as it affects the race, residential segregation, industrial relations and race relationship. Among those taking active part in the deliberations of the conference were: Dr. Henry Allen Boyd, Na- (Continued on page 2) MRS.

When the Pilgrim fathers first assembled those long years ago to give honest and reverent thanks to a kind Providence for the measure of prosperity that they had achieved, they little suspected that out of their act there would grow a custom which would persist year after year and would become a tradition with a great nation. In our present day rush for the more material gains of a people who are essentially materialistic, we are too often wont to forget some of the elder and finer aspects of practices that may have become automatic with us. Thanksgiving, it often appears, has degenerated in that fashion. For too many of us it is only a day when we are allowed a vacation from accustomed work, when we are supposed to attend a midweek church service, and when the chief characteristic of the day is the eating in greater quantity than usual certain foods that are almost synonyms of the word "Thanksgiving." Let us this year adopt in spirit as well as form a true thanksgiving attitude. Let there be more of a feeling of gladness of things accomplished in the face of great barriers. Let there be an earnest resolve that through gainful activity, there shall be even more to be thankful for one year from now. Let there be over all a pervading reverent attitude that will reflect in a way the prompting motive of the first Thanksgiving.

Mountains were seek, or a year, and the result of the co slow, and we hope, favorable develop In the recent political conference at Washington there can be found the germ of an idea which can be of tremendous benefit to the members of our race. Discussions of that sort in themselves are sometimes very effective because in the single act of bringing together for intimate exchange of thought delegates representing various parts of the country, a certain amount of good can be obtained by the conflict of intersectional opinions. On the other hand, conferences have a way of degenerating into mere talk-fests out of which come no clear ideas and no feasible means of bettering the conditions which have caused the assemblage to be called. From all reports, that was not the case with the meeting in Washington. Opinions pertaining to definite reforms were advanced; after a comprehensive discussion of those reforms they were incorporated into a program of action; and that program was presented for consideration to the executive of the nation. Now, there is nothing to do but wait for the tangible outcome of the work which was carried on. Mountains were not made in a day, or a week, or a year, and the result of the conference will show itself in slow, and we hope, favorable development. ANENT A FRATERNITY PROTEST the outsider, after reading the leading a column of this issue, be led to form a set about the conditions which prevail upon the city of Minnesota, a bit of explanation n article even at the risk of making the mural an aspect. actual prejudice does exist upon the Univer Lest some outsider, after reading the leading article in The Safety Valve column of this issue, be led to form a seriously wrong impression about the conditions which prevail upon the campus of the University of Minnesota, a bit of explanation may wisely be added to this article even at the risk of making the matter assume too controversial an aspect. While racial prejudice does exist upon the University campus, as it does in every place where two colors of people must associate, it is not there in nearly the obvious intensity that the letter seems to indicate. Although there have undoubtedly been cases like the ones which are cited, they point more clearly to racial feeling of isolated professors than to a unified stand of the whole faculty against the colored campus population. Mention need hardly be made of those Negro students who have attended the state university leaving behind brilliant records not only of scholarship, but of general student activity. In that connection it may be well to recall that within the last ten years a colored student at Minnesota was initiated into Phi Beta Kappa, a national honorary scholastic fraternity whose chief requisite for membership is superlative excellence in scholarship. As for work . . . . a recent announcement at the University stated that approximately eighty per cent of the students were partially self-supporting. It may be argued logically that white fraternity men, because of a certain average of wealth, would automatically be included within the twenty per cent of those who do not work. The argument might be carried on to the even more logical conclusion that because of that circumstance, the scholarship rating of colored fraternity men should in all fairness not be compared to that of their fellow white Greeks, but to that part of the campus population which is struggling under the same obstacles of hard outside work that are the colored men. If that latter comparison be made, the situation assumes an even more gloomy hue, because the scholastic average of the nonfraternity group, the men and women who are presumably upon more of an economic par with the Negroes, has been consistently maintained for a good many years, at a distinctly higher level than the average of the fraternity class! To deny that we have claimed that the mentality of the Negro is inferior to the white would only be to admit a concern which is not felt over an unfounded and patently absurd accusation. We do believe, as we have previously stated, that despite the admittedly hard conditions which the colored student must face, there is every reason to believe that he should be able to maintain, in his several fraternity organizations, that standard of scholarship which must obtain in order that an academic degree may be achieved. 1 THE ST.

J., Nov. 20.—Do you want to get rid of your husband? Records of separation and non-support cases at the Bureau of Charities in this city revealed a number of efficient methods. Nag, Live with your mother-in-law— Cook badly— Set the alarm clock for a different hour every morning— Leave your hairpins lying all around the bedroom— Make him get his own breakfast— Forget to wake him in the morning— If that doesn't do the trick, give him up. He's hopeless. Records showed that the biggest factors in most of the separation cases were nagging, mother-in-laws, drunkness, incompatibility and interfering neighbors. A contributing cause which has arisen within the last few years is the fact that more women are today financially independent. In other days a woman had no alternative but to submit to her husband's ill treatment or go back to her parents. Today a great many of them work and are not dependent on their "better halves" for support.

The defense to be presented by Darrow is that they fired after the house had been stoned. Judge Murphy's statement came during examination of Inspector McPerson, head of the police blackhand squad, when he testified he had offered Dr. Sweet protection and instructed Sweet to let him know whenever anything looked suspicious. Darrow objected that the testimony of the inspector could be held binding only as to the defendants who actually heard the conversation and the prosecution contended under the conspiracy count it would be binding on all the defendants. "That may be true," Judge Murphy said, "but at this time I do not believe there has been proof of conspiracy. The testimony of this witness will be admissible only against Dr. Sweet and the others who heard his conversation with the inspectors." It is thought that Darrow will ask for dismissal as soon as the state rests its case. Indications are that the state will be unable to sustain its conspiracy charge. --- WITNESS ADMITS per, The St. Paul Echo, adds a new cup. The Richmond Voice heartily luck to you.

The Klan held the meeting in the Third United Presbyterian church, the auditorium being packed to capacity. The injunction was based on the legal requirement that school property be used only for school purposes. Judge Cummins cited a number of opinions and said that he did not see how it could be construed that the Klan meeting was in any way connected with the school.

Dear Sir: In reply to your editorial, "Our University Record," which appeared in the November 7th issue of The Echo, we feel that you have misled the public as to the relative significance of the statistics presented and have done us an injustice as university students. The three colored organizations are at the bottom of the scholastic list, but the reasons are in no way those that your editorial implies. The editorial leaves an impression of truth in the theory that Negro mentality does not develop after a certain age, because your use of the words "remarkable" and "superficial" are ambiguous, leaving the reader with an impression that you admit there is a racial intellectual inferiority. Negro students on the campus are working under numerous handicaps, Racial prejudice is an admitted fact. Instructors have shown their dislike for Negro students in grading their work, and frequently in class room attitude. Instances are well known where certain instructors have refused to seat Negro students in the alphabetical seating order; instead, the Negro has been seated in a back row or in a particular section. In view of such actions is it possible for a student, conscious of such prejudice, able to do his best work? The average Negro student is either entirely or partially self-supporting; he is not able to give proper time to his studies because he must work. Such conditions are much more prevalent among Negro students than among whites. The time and place of his employment is generally irregular. It is not uncommon for colored students to have to work late on nights before important examinations. Under these circumstances he cannot do his best or even a normal average degree of justice to his work. We do not consider, nor offer these arguments as excuses or alibis, but they are very logical reasons for the low scholastic rating, and in consideration of them we feel that your editorial is an injustice to our students. Sincerely, Xi Chapter, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
