For four years he attended the preparatory school at Fisk University. In 1911, he went to Boston, where he struggled for eight years singing in churches in and around Boston, trying to support himself. and his mother. All the time he was saving as much money as he could in the hope of giving a large recital. Ultimate Success. Finally, assisted by the influence of white friends, he gave several successful recitals, and in 1920, he went to England to continue his study. Since that time he has been abroad several times, has sung before the King and Queen of England, and has had remarkable success in other foreign countries. On his return from a European tour a short while ago, Mr. Hayes was met at the dock by hundreds of admirers and friends who testified to his popularity by the greeting they gave him. On the steamer coming home, he had given a recital in which he was accompanied by Paderewski, the great pianist. At the present time Mr. Hayes is on a concert tour of the United States under the management of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

N.A.A.C.P.HOLDS ANNUAL ELECTION N.A.A.C.P.HOLDS ANNUAL ELECTION Theobald, James, Hamilton, Woodford, Crosthwaite Elected; Factions Appear. At one of the most interesting meetings of the year, the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. held its annual election of officers and board members last Sunday afternoon. Father Theobald, George James, and G. W. Hamilton, Jr., were elected to fill the three vacant places upon the executive board. Maxine Woodford was elected secretary of the body, and Dr. L. T. Crosthwaite treasurer. Miss Woodford will replace Mrs. Birdie High, and Dr. Crosthwaite will take the place of S. E. Hall, outgoing treasurer. The meeting was strongly marked by factionalism. A group of some twenty young men representing a "youth movement," although in a minority, showed potential strength, determination to act, and an earnest desire to lend their support to the organization even though some of their ideas conflicted with those of some of the older members. A majority of the people present sided with the older, more conservative group. R. C. Minor, voicing the sentiment of that faction in a short speech from the floor, received a volume of applause. After a resume of the Sweet trial outcome by Dr. Turner, and the collecting of several memberships, the meeting was adjourned.

He told the officers that another man had promised him a position as a porter with a large Fifth Street department store, but that it would be necessary for him to give $20 for the uniform. Woodford told the officers that he handed the money to his supposed benefactor in an envelope and that he was given an empty one in return.

ROBBERY VICTIM LOCKED UP AFTER REPORTING CRIME Claude Jarrett, Robbed of $25, Held by Police in Effort to Have Story Changed. Kept In Cell Over Hour Officers Threaten Strict Watch; Plain Clothes Man Visits Home of Accuser. After being robbed and having reported the robbery to the police department, Claude Jarrett, 334 Iglehart Ave., was locked up for a short time in Central police station Monday evening because the officer on duty refused to believe his statement. Mr. Jarrett, who works at the Great Northern Pullman yards, was robbed of $25 at 6:30 P. M. Monday at the corner of Iglehart and Farrington Aves. Calls Police. Returning home, Jarrett called the Rondo street police station to inform the officers there of the robbery. Immediately a motorcycle policeman was sent to get the details. With him there was a police car which rode Jarrett around in the vicinity in a vain attempt to find the man who had committed the robbery. Finally the driver took him to Central station. The officer on duty, after hearing the story, said: "I don't believe it; it's not customary for whites to hold up colored men up here." Jarrett was questioned repeatedly in an effort to have him change his story. An attempt was made to have him admit that he had lost his money in a "crap" game; that he had thrown it away; that he owed some pressing bills, and thought that a story of this sort would help him out. On insisting that the original story was correct, Jarrett was locked up. For an hour and a half he was kept behind bars. Twice during that time a jalfer urged him in a friendly manner to "tell the truth." Finally, after the officer in charge had failed to have him requote his statement, Jarrett was released. On leaving, he was told, "We'll let you go, but we'll keep an eye on you." Tuesday, a plain clothes officer called at Jarrett's home, asked if he really lived there, and if he owed any rent. Information having been given which supported the testimony listed at the station, the officer said that he was going to Jarrett's place of employment to get a description of the robber, but up until Wednesday evening he had not done so. The man who is supposed to have committed the robbery was about 35 or 36 years old, was wearing a dark overcoat and cap, and carried a gun, according to Mr. Jarrett's account. G. A. R. to Present Flag. Women of the Rosevelt Corps, No. 99, Ladies' Auxiliary of the G. A. R., will present a flag to the Y. W. C. A., Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mrs. Lola Edwards, patriotic instructor, will make the presentation speech. An appropriate program has been arranged. Locked Up. Colorful Tour Of Globe Made By Spectators At Dance Exhibition Bellboy, Daring Flames to Save Lives, Hero, and Fears Publicity Pupils of Freda C. Jackson in First Annual Public Display at Church Club Prove Tremendous Drawing Card. Spectators at the first annual exhibition of Freda C. Jackson's dancing class, Saturday, Nov. 28, made a wonder tour of the world. From the bare sands of hot Egypt through all the intermediary stages of glimpses of the bright rainbow clouds in the sunshine, forests holding beautiful Indian maidens, Spain with her lovely flower gardens, to modern jazz typified by the Charleston, the audience was carried. Approximately 400 people jammed the Church Club to see the first exhibition of its kind that has ever been held in the city. More than 30 children, raging in age from 3 to 17 years had parts in the affair. The talented young people, members of the class, who took part in the exhibition include Mildred Artis, Marjorie McKinney, Shirley Harris, Virginia Hedge, Charlotte Crump, Gladys Towles, Jessie Rose Alexander, Rosamond Collier, Beatrice Schuck, Annette Hatton, Dorothy Martin, Millicent Burgess, Gretchen Cotton, Doris Bradshaw, Vivian Neal, Norma Stokes, Florence Gibbs, Laura Hall, Billy Rhodes, Ruth Oden, Marion Mackey, Harriet Davis, Victoria Stokes, Janice Wright, Stella Devine, Lorena Cuzzins, Irene McGavock, Evadne Bradshaw, Julia Mae Williams, Elizabeth Schuck, Hjordis Foster, Morris Gibbs, Jr., Waneta Melker and Helen Jackson. Miss Leah Miner officiated at the piano as the accompanist for the exhibition. After the presentation was over, there was dancing with music furnished by Clarence Johnson's orchestra. MINNEAPOLIS FORUM TO CHANGE PROGRAM METHOD In its meeting tomorrow, the Minneapolis forum will install the custom of giving the program before the regular discussion of business matters in an attempt to encourage promptness of attendance.

C. B. Burton, of Zion Baptist church, address. According to Mrs. Fannie M. Shanks, president, the public is cordially welcomed at the meeting. SHAFT MANGLES WORKER (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 3.—Henry Williams, laborer, aged about 40 years, suffered a horrible death at the Buckeye Cotton Oil Company's mill Sunday morning when he was caught by a moving belt and thrown against a large drive shaft revolving at a high rate of speed. Williams' body was wrapped around the shaft and terribly mangled. He died almost immediately, before the machinery could be stopped. Williams is survived by his wife and six children. Modest Worker Who Led Thirty Women and Children Out of Hotel Fire to Safety Refuses to Give Picture, Interview. (Preston News Service) New York City, Dec. 3.—For the second time in twenty-four hours, fire licked the dignified bones of the Mansion House, Brooklyn. For the second time, Aubrey Stanley, bellboy, who Wednesday led thirty women and children to safety from the blaze, emerged from the flames a hero. But there was no roar of fire engines, no shriek of siren and shouts of firemen to waken Hicks Street from its slumber by frantic telephoning of warnings to hotel guests as on the day before. For Stanley put out the flame unaided. Eastern Star Holds Charter Meeting at Union Hall Sunday Union Hall As the scene of the large fraternal gathering last Sunday, Union Hall once again played a quiet part in the necessary life of the community by furnishing a place of meeting for large organizations. GRAND CHAPTER GIVES CHARTERS GRAND CHAPTER GIVES CHARTERS Established May 31, 1925, the Minnesota Grand Chapter (Prince Hall affiliation) Order of the Eastern Star, now numbers five chapters, it was learned after the meeting held Sunday, Nov. 25. At the special meeting held in Union Hall, Kent and Aurora St, the work of organization was finished, charters were granted to the subordinate chapters, and general plans were discussed. The chapters chartered were, St. Paul chapter, No. 1, St. Paul; Electa chapter, No. 2, Minneapolis; Elizabeth Richey chapter, No. 3, Duluth; Minnesota chapter, No. 4, St. Paul; and Queen of Sheba chapter, No. 5, St. Paul. Officers of the Grand Chapter are Mrs. Arlvia McKenzie, Worthy Grand Matron; George L. Hoag, Sr. Worthy Grand Patron; Mrs. George H. Adams, Associate Grand Matron; John C. Gray, Associate Grand Patron; Mrs. Moulden, Grand Treasurer, and Mrs. Doris M. Roper, Grand Secretary. The meeting Sunday was well attended by nearly all of the 250 members. The annual session of the Grand Chapter will be held in Minneapolis, Thursday after the third Tuesday of August, 1926. Harry A. Brown Harry A. Brown, beloved husband of Amanda Brown, and father of Bernidine, Dorothy, Francis, Leon, and June Brown, died Nov. 26 at Ancker hospital. Funeral services were held from Simpson and Wills mortuary; Monday, Nov. 30. Rev. J. Gamble, pastor of Grace Chapel officiated. The interment was at Oakland cemetery. It was the flame of publicity, trying to light its glare on Stanley's work of the day before. The mere thought of getting his name or picture in the paper as hero of a fire was enough to make his eyes shine round as the disc of the Red Cross button on his uniform. "It is true that you saved a lot of persons, as the papers said this morning?" he was asked. "Me? Sure, but—Aw, what do you want to know for?" That was as far as he got. Fifteen minutes' conversation brought nothing more definite than: "No, sir, no more of this publicity for me. It never did no good to nobody." And he went about his business of moving the belongings of guests whose rooms had been damaged in Wednesday's fire. ROLAND HAYES, greatest tenor of the time, will sing in Minneapolis the evening of December 12. Will you hear him? PRICE FIVE CENTS DARROW TO ASK SEPARATE TRIAL FOR DEFENDANTS Seven Jurors Favor Acquittal for All Defendants; Five Want Conviction. Next Trial To Be Jan.1 Case Has Cost Defense $20,000 to Date; Darrow, Hays Will Be Retained. (Preston News Service) Detroit, Mich., Dec. 4—Separate trial for each of the eleven defendants in the Sweet murder case will be demanded by the defense, Clarence Darrow, chief of counsel, told Judge Frank Murphy, Friday, after the jury had been dismissed in the first trial. The jury was released at 1:30 P. M., after having deliberated for forty-six hours without reaching a verdict. Seven Favored Acquittal. It was learned that seven of the jurors favored acquittal for all of the defendants, while five fought to the end for the conviction of Dr. Sweet, his brother, Henry Sweet, and Leonard Morse, on a charge of manslaughter. Immediately following the dismissal, Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for the defense, moved for a new trial and asked that bail be fixed for the defendants, who have been held in jail since their arrest on the night of September 9. The motion was argued at 4:30, with the outcome that the date of the new trial was fixed for the first week in January, while bond of $5,000 each, with one surety, was allowed in the case of all the defendants except the three whom the five jurors are said to have favored convicting. Prosecuting Attorney Robert M. Toms, definitely fixed the degree of difference in the status of the defendants, when he urged that bond be denied the three principals. He suggested that bail in the case of the others be fixed at $10,000. Darrow and Arthur Garfield Hays, assistant counsel, both argued that the sum was excessive, and that bail should be allowed all their clients. Toms stated that he had not had sufficient time to consider the question of bail, and argued that the court grant him three or four days to "think the matter over" as affecting the three principals. Over the protest of Darrow and Hays, who declared they wished to go away feeling that they had done everything possible for their clients, the court said he would hold the three (Continued on page 4) NEW SCHOOL HEAD TO PREACH HERE Rev. D. A. Graham, President of Monrovia College, Liberia, at St. James Sunday. Rev. D. A. Graham, D. D., will preach at the 11 o'clock service at St. James A. M. E. church, Sunday, Dec. 6. Dr. Graham is an able man of wide experience. He has served some of the leading churches in the A. M. E. connection, and has been called from a charge at Tacoma, Wash., to the presidency of Monrovia College and Industrial Training School in Monrovia, Liberia. The school is the largest building on the west coast of Africa, and is the largest school building for the education of Negroes on the whole continent. Bishop Brooks, also of the A. M. E. church, has devoted a great deal of time to the development of the school since the time when he was made a bishop. Reverend Graham is now on his way to assume control of his duties in Africa. He is accompanied by his wife, who is a sister of George W. Bell, and Mrs. Cora Grissom, both of St. Paul.

Ugly but persistent rumors concerning the kind of treatment which is accorded colored prisoners at some of the police stations of the city have been circulated for some while. That rumor grew into fact the other day with the reporting of the case which is given upon the front page of the paper. Although the methods for procuring truth that are sketched in the story by the principal party in the incident are sometimes used quite generally, there seems to be no justification for those methods. If a person has been criminally injured and seeks the protection of the police, it is a paradox upon the very purposes for which the police system is supposed to stand if, before making a thorough investigation of the case, that department uses coercive methods in an attempt to have the injured person present a changed story of the case, untrue, and colored only by the desire of the temporary prisoner to regain his freedom. It is altogether possible that the ways in which the various city police stations handle the cases of colored prisoners is no whit different from their method of handling white prisoners taken in under the same circumstances. However, if the rumors are true, they are hurting us. If they are untrue, they are seriously hurting the police department. In all fairness, then, an investigation should assist both the colored citizens and the department of police. Such an investigation we are going to make, and in that task we have already been pledged the support of officials in the department concerned. ROLAND HAYES.

Starting in a small settlement in a part of the blackest of the old South, this singer has achieved world-wide fame and universal recognition as a great artist, and the love and respect of races in a score of countries. His record should be an inspiration not alone to all peoples who are struggling under difficulties, but in particular to the younger generation of the people of his own race, the American Negro. Surmounting obstacles that the young Negro of today doesn't even have to meet, he has come through to the peak of his present fame unspoiled, and still eager to serve his race. Because he is a great man in his field, because he is the type of man the Negro should admire, but primarily because he is an artist, a supreme artist who has overthrown all the bars of race prejudice in the successful pursuit of that art, the more honor to him!

"Our Sunday Visitor," a Catholic weekly published in Indiana, featured in its last issue news matter concerning and of interest to the Negro. Each month the weekly gives over one issue to the featuring of "one subject which interests thousands of Americans." Aside from our pleasure on receiving a copy, and our interest in the thoroughly favorable attitude which the editors took toward the race question, we are interested to know how certain charter members of the Ku Klux Klan in the home state received the Catholic-Negro edition. To receive exchange papers whose editorial columns notice our birth and wish us bon voyage upon a long and stormy trip to the distant ports of Pleased Public, Community Support, Honest Service, Greater Race Development, and Gains Achieved, gives us a glow of warmth at the well wishes of our contemporaries. To receive the first paper, however, which quotes completely one of our editorial flights, as a lead article, is to endear that paper to our hearts forever, and to furnish another item for the scrapbook which is never kept.

Ordinarily as secretary of the Urban League, I do not attempt to follow rumor since experience has taught me that from out of the air apparently stories relative to social conditions among colored people arise, and when disregarded return to the air in course of time. If this particular rumor concerned the writer, he would pay it no heed, but since it does not, he feels called upon to say: The malicious but unfounded story to the effect that a group of colored men attempted to keep the Ford Company from employing Negroes in the St. Paul plant is a pure fabrication. Conferences at the Ford plant relative to the employment of Negro workmen have been confined to the secretaries of the Minneapolis and St. Paul Urban League and Mr. Bendick, the general manager. Any other conferences must be the result of an over-active imagination on the part of rather totally uninformed individuals. Very sincerely yours, E. A. CARTER, Executive Secretary. "As Is the Mother, So Is Her Daughter." It is true to nature, although it be expressed in a figurative form, that a mother is both the morning and the evening star of life. The light of her eye is always the first to rise, and often the last to set. Heaven has imprinted in a mother's face something beyond this world; something which claims kindred with the skies . . . the angelic smile, the tender look, the waking, watchful eye which keeps its fond vigil over her slumbering babe. "Can a mother's love be supplied?" No, a thousand times, no! Often do I sigh in my struggles with the hard, uncaring world, for the sweet, deep security I felt, when of an evening, leaning on her bosom, I listened to some quiet Christian story, suitable to my age, in her tender and untiring voice. Never can I forget her sweet glance cast upon me when I appeared asleep; never her kiss of peace at night. Years have passed away since they laid her to rest beside my father, yet, still her voice whispers to me, and her eyes seem to watch over me. Oh! there is an enduring tenderness in the love of a mother to her children that transcends all other affections of the heart. It is neither to be chilled by selfishness, nor daunted by danger, nor weakened by ingratitude. She will sacrifice every comfort for their convenience; she will surrender every pleasure to their enjoyment; she will glory in their fame and exult in their prosperity. If misfortune overtakes them, they will be the dearer to her. If the world casts them off, she will continue to hold them. Oh! how little do we appreciate a mother's tenderness, while living; how heedless are we in youth of all her anxieties and kindness, but when death has taken her, when the cares and coldness of the world come withering to our hearts; when we experience how hard it is to find true friends, sympathy; how few love us; how few will befriend us in time of need, then it is we think of the mother we lost. Oh! mother's grave; earth has a sacred spot in Golden Hill Cemetery, Clarksville, Tenn., where I feel like unloosing my shoes from my feet; but of all spots on earth, none is so sacred as that where rests, awaiting the resurrection, my mother. 477 Partridge St., St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 1, 1925.

In the annual Thanksgiving football classic between teams of University and high school fellows, the University men nosed out their opponents in a hard fought game by the close score of 7 to 6. It was expected that the high school men, although outweighed by their husky adversaries, would finish the game as victors because of the greater amount of practice they had had together. The true result of the scrap proves that the dopesters are not always right. On the other hand, it has been argued that the failure of the younger team for the try for the point after goal does not indicate that their team was the weaker. Anyway, the score is as it is, and the university men are champions for the third consecutive year. The end runs, line plunges, and open field work of Bob Arter were the outstanding features of the playing by the University men. Ray Brown also starred for the winners. Jimmie Lee of the high school squad was the individual star. He intercepted a forward pass and ran the ball back for 70 yards through a broken field for the only score of the High team. Nearly perfect blocking of Cassius enabled Lee to get away in the way that he did. High School Position University Bradshaw ..... L. E. ..... Minor Lee ..... L. T. ..... Arnold Hargraves ..... L.

Russian Press Writers Russian Press Writers In a recent report of a bolshievst "congress of press workers," it was disclosed that there were, last year, "about 150,000 newspaper correspondents from the masses of workers and peasants" and that measures are to be taken to "equip this multitude of new writers for regular and systematic work on the press."

Simple food well prepared is much more wholesome for all ages than the rich foods and hearty meats so often considered necessary. Panned Chicken. Separate a chicken into pieces at the joints; set into a buttered baking pan, adding a bit of butter to each piece; pour in a cupful of boiling water or veal broth, add salt, cover closely and set to cook in a hot oven; let cook an hour and a half; baste the chicken once or twice and turn over the pieces when half-cooked. When done remove the chicken to a platter, surround with savory rice and serve with Sauce for Panned Chicken. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter; in it cook three tablespoonfuls of flour and a scant half-teaspoonful of salt and a few dashes of pepper; when bubbling hot stir in three-fourths of a cupful of cream and the broth from the pan which should make a cupful or more. When bolling, strain into a bowl. Raisin Ple. Grate the rind and add the juice of two lemons and one orange, add one cupful of light brown sugar, two cupfuls of seeded raisins, one-cupful of coarsely chopped walnuts, one and one-fourth cupfuls of water and bring to the boiling point; add four tablespoonfuls of flour blended with two of butter. Cook until the mixture is smooth, pour into a well-lined pastry plate, cover with a crust and bake for thirty minutes in a moderately hot oven until delicately browned. For a family with a member or two who cannot eat sauerkraut, those who do must deny themselves a wholesome, tasty dish. Isn't it too bad that we cannot all sit down to such a dish as this?

DARROW ASKS SEPARATE TRIAL FOR DEFENDANTS (Continued from page 1) men without bail until next Wednesday, when he would hear arguments concerning their release. Hays Argues for Sweet. "Of all the defendants," said Hays, "Dr. Sweet should be the first to be admitted to bail. No one could have any doubt that he would be here for trial. I doubt very much if he would accept bail until all the other defendants are out. I will gladly take the responsibility for him being in court." Darrow said: "Nobody thinks Dr. Sweet or anyone else had any intention of killing anyone. The only possible thing is that they shot through an error of judgment, before there was sufficient justification. All the facts show there was no malice or criminality in the crime. I see no legal reason why bail should not be granted to each of my clients." "This is a difficult question for me to decide," said Toms, "because of my responsibility to the people of both sides. As I review the testimony, I see a difference between the degree of guilt of Dr. Sweet, Henry Sweet, Leonard Morse, and the others. These three group themselves together. I want to proceed cautiously and weigh well what the state should do. There is no legal reason why defendants other than these three I have named should not be admitted to bail. As to the others, the question is too serious for me to pass on now." The case has cost the defense more than $20,000. Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, stated Friday night, before leaving for New York. He said arrangements had been made for Darrow and Hays to continue as defense counsel. Until little more than half a century ago, in many parts of Wales the opening of the sermon was the recognized signal for the male part of the congregation to light their pipes, and no one seems to have seen any irreverence in the custom.

To Rev. H. C. Boyd for his ministrations, to Rev. H. C. Parsons and the choir of Bethesda church, to the members of Anchor Hilyard Lodge—all of whom rendered such signal service, I am especially grateful. The words of cheer, the remembrances of flowers, the services so valuable at such a time have impressed me with a new sense of the quality of friendship. To all of those to whom I would so gladly give my personal thanks, I hereby tender my appreciation. I wish to thank the many friends, especially Mr. Healy, superintendent of the Pullman Co., and the railroad employees, for their kindness during my husband's illness and death, and also Mrs. Irene Bannister, who sang most touchingly, Mr. Brown's favorite hymn, "Flee As a Bird to Yon Mountain."
