Smith Only Colored Delegates. Attending the 14th annual convention of the National Association of Collegiate Registrars with headquarters at the Nicollet hotel in Minneapolis last week were two delegates representing Negro institutions. Herbert C. Adams, from Johnson C. Smith college of North Carolina, attended for the first time, and F. D. Wilkinson, registrar at Howard university, Washington, D. C., a long standing member of the association, was also registered. 150 Attend. Schools of collegiate grade the country over send representatives to the convention. Approximately 150 men were at the Minneapolis convention April 13-15 inclusive. George P. Tuttle from the University of Illinois was president during the past year, and R. M. West of the University of Minnesota was first vice-president. The convention last year was held in Boulder, Colo. Registrar Six Years. Mr. Wilkinson has been registrar at Howard for six years. Before he accepted that position he worked in the government service and went to night school taking stenography. Having applied for the vacant position of registrar at Howard, he was given the position, and after a month and a half in the new office, was appointed registrar. He attributes his appointment largely to his ability to typewrite and his knowledge of filing and business administration. After he received his promotion, he began the study of law because he saw the need of legal training for |the proper administration of his office. At the same time, he continued teaching night school as he had been doing, cutting the last half hour of his class to get to the night school on time. He continued that program for three years until the completion of his law course. "I find," said Mr. Wilkinson in interview, "that western people are (Continued on page 2) N.A.A.C.P. ADDS TO CONVENTION N.A.A.C.P. ADDS TO CONVENTION Mrs. Hunton, Darrow, Carey Will Appear on Program at June Chicago Meeting. (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) New York, April 15.—The part played by colored women in the working out of relations between white and colored people in America, is one of the topics scheduled for discussion at the 17th Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Chicago next June. The speaker who will discuss this subject is Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, president of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, with headquarters in Brooklyn, N. Y. Mrs. Hunton will also refer to conditions in the black republic of Haiti, to which she recently made a visit. Other speakers who will have a part in the N. A. A. C. P. Chicago Conference, are Clarence Darrow chief counsel in the trial of Dr. O. H. Sweet and his ten co-defendants in Detroit; and Bishop Archibald J. Carey of Chicago, Bishop of the A. M. E. church. Conference headquarters for the N. A. A. C. P. Spring Conference have been established in the Liberty Life Insurance Building of Chicago. A feature of the Conference is being planned in the form of a Saturday outing, whether in the form of a boat trip on Lake Michigan or an automobile tour of Chicago is not yet decided, to be followed in the evening by a reception and dance. The St. Paul Echo Hodgson And The Negro Citizen Equal Rights League Active In Stopping Segregation In Theatres; Mayors Give Help L. C. Hodgson. Mr. Hodgson will be the principal speaker at a mass meeting to be held at St. James A. M. E. church, Sunday evening, April 18th, at 8 p. m. At that time he will outline his policy for a mayor of St. Paul. A character dominated by human brotherhood is the only one that can really be at ease with all men. Because the mind soon forgets its grief and consequently its helper; because Mr. Hodgson has not at all times and all places proclaimed himself with a pompous, "I did it;," the statement is too frequently made, "He was mayor four years. What did he do?" With slight changes in delineation, frequently confused, there are two characters who seem to be all things to all men. One is counterfeit, and selfish. He is all things for personal gain. He makes much of the benefits he bestows to secure a following that will assure his end—selfish, personal profit. The other is the genuine which the counterfeit in part imitates. They differ in that the one is brazen and blatant, with a type of soap box oratory proclaiming himself a benefactor. The other is meek counting it a secret pleasure to be permitted to add to the world's good by assisting in bearing a brother's burden. It HAITIWOULD LIKE NEGRO MINISTER Thoby Says Non-Welcome of Colored Man Absurd in Light of Haitian Attitude. (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) New York, April 15.—Before his departure for Haiti, Perceval Thoby, former charge d'affaires of the Haitian Legation in Washington, and now representative of the Patriotic Union of Haiti, requested that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issue for him a public denial of the report that Haitian citizens would oppose the appointment of a colored man as U. S. Minister to Haiti. "The statement has been made and spread that Haitians would not welcome a colored man as the representative of the United States in Haiti," said Mr. Thoby. "This is of course absurd. There have been several colored ministers from the United States to Haiti and they have been received with utmost cordiality. Moreover, when American colored people have emigrated to Haiti, they have found the consideration and the courtesy which was their due, and they and their descendants are among the most respected citizens of the country. Haiti would be glad to welcome, as she has done in the past, a colored U. S. Minister." Boston, Mass., April 15.—The chief magistrates of both Boston and Cambridge have acted promptly and vigorously against the ever on-creeping color segregation abomination in thethemes within the last fortnight. In both instances, the complaint was the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League, Rev. E. E. Thompson, President, in behalf of race citizens who would not tamely submit to the indignity. President Thompson secured an audience with Mayor Edward Quinn of Cambridge on complaint of Miss ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1926 is the difference between Paul and Pilate, a public servant and a mere politician. Here is an unheralded example of the brotherhood of man—the Hodgson type of activity: In the early days of the Hodgson administration a race riot occurred in Omaha. One colored, man was killed, and a million dollars worth of business property destroyed. Coincident with that event a white woman claimed she had been assaulted, near Western Ave. N. and the tracks, here in St. Paul. Both incidents were played up in the headlines in regular editions and several extras of our local papers. Downtown in St. Paul the feeling was tense. Outbreak seemed imminent. Many race men purchased revolvers and boxes of cartridges to assure protection, going home. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People hired a private detective agency to investigate the local woman's allegations. Mr. Henry McColl, then head of the Dept. of Public Safety, made an investigation with his operatives. Both reports said the woman's statements had no foundation in fact. Neither her husband nor her neighbors believed her. At this juncture Mr. Hodgson stepped in. He called Commissioner McColl. They called the big advertisers, who in turn called the managers of the big dailies. All assembled in a dinner party at the Athletic Club. Mayor Hodgson as spokesman said, "In Omaha a colored man has been killed; other colored people are afraid to leave their homes; and a million dollars worth of property has been destroyed because the papers of that city have put "Negro" in such bold relief. We are apt to repeat the incident here." During the remainder of the Hodgson administration, only complimentary race incidents were headlined. Where brotherhood reigns there is a lift and a silence. Mr. Hodgson has never mentioned this incident. The counterfeit makes a gesture and proclaims much. Hodgson is no counterfeit. He is genuine. Stumbles Over Overcoat; Ends In Skull Crack Stumbles Over Overcoat; Ends In Skull Crack (Preston News Service) New Orleans, La., April 16.—A late spring and an overcoat are responsible for the fall of William O'Connor, 64 years old. O'Connor has been an employee at the Trianon theater in Canal street for many years. He started for home and dinner Monday in a hurry. He was hungry. The patrons of the darkened show were startled from their seats by a resounding crash on the stairs in the rear. They craned necks and moved from their seats. Police explained that O'Connor tripped on an overcoat he was carrying and fell headlong down the stairs. He was treated at Charity hospital for a probable fracture of the skull. "The New Negro" Placed in Library Reference Room A copy of "The New Negro," edited by Dr. Alaine Locke, has been placed upon the shelves of the reference rooms of the St. Paul Public Library. Eastern literary critics have been lavish in their praise of the book, and have pointed out that it is the sign of the dawning of a new day for the Negro in literature. George Harris and Miss Yvonne Gorde, whom he had present at the City Hall, together with Rev. W. D. McClane and W. M. Trotter of the local league's executive committee. The manager of the Plasky-Players Movie Theatre declined the Mayor's invitation over the telephone to appear and had several alibis. The complainants stood firm and Mayor Quinn told the manager there would be "no segregation or no license.

CELEBRATES 27TH BIRTHDAY Business of $2,000,000 Annually Done by Monster Insurance Company. 7 Men Start Venture In Early Years of Enterprise No Salaries Paid; All Money Re-invested. (By The Associated Negro Press) Durham, N. C., April 15.—To develop from an idea to a gigantic financial corporation benefitting thousands of individuals covering a broad expanse of territory and doing more than two million dollars annually, in the short span of twenty-seven years, is an accomplishment at which no race can successfully scoff. The idea was born in the brain of John Merrick, a Negro barber in Durham, and the realization is the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance, the home office of which is in Durham. The successful conduct of "a big business" institution for and by Negroes for more than a quarter of a century is an achievement which not only strikingly points a hopeful beacon light to Negro commercial endeavor for the future, but furnished opportunity for genuine and general racial pride in the accomplishment and the veracity of this statement was borne out in the number of congratulatory telegrams and letters received by C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, April 1st, which marked the rounding out of the twenty-seventh year of operation and service. A Bit of History. The history of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, as related at the celebration of the twenty-seventh anniversary, is that of a group of ambitious but sagacious business men. The company had its beginning in October, 1898, when seven men, with a little capital and big ideas, assembled and organized what was then called the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, later changed to the present name of the company "to engage in the business of life insurance." On April 1st the company was launched with John Merrick, president; Dr. A. M. Moore, secretary-treasurer, and medical examiner and C. C. Spaulding, general manager," NEGRO HOMES IN FLORIDA BURNED Huge Red-Lettered Signs State Negroes Not Desired as Tampa Residents. New York, April 15.—The National Association office has received reports of the burning of Negro homes in Western Tampa, unidentified men have posted warnings that Negroes were not desired as residents of the community. Despite a police guard stationed in the settlement, following the burning of two Negro homes, two recently built real estate offices were destroyed by fire. Five men, arrested in connection with the fires, were discharged in the municipal court. "Negroes are not desired here," say huge signs printed in red letters on sign boards, and "Negroes should investigate before buying here."

Colored Woman Lives With Pint Of White Man's Blood In Veins Prisoner Pastor, Behind Bars, Nearly Confirms Condemned Man Ambulance Driver Volunteers to Furnish Blood for Transfusion When Colored Friends Refuse Succor. (Preston News Service) Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16.—Mrs. Annette Robinson rested comfortably in Holy Family Hospital, Dean St., Brooklyn, Thursday with a pint of a white man's blood in her veins. She lived probably only because Harry Hughes, an ambulance driver, volunteered for a transfusion after some of her friends had refused. Mrs. Robinson, 38, was taken to the hospital Tuesday bleeding from her ears, mouth, nostrils and internally. Her blood would not coagulate. Relatives and friends were informed that an immediate blood transfusion was necessary. Volunteers Apply. Volunteers among the hospital staff were asked for. Several came forward. Among them was Harry Hughes, who is an ambulance driver and accustomed to assisting in saving lives of persons without inquiring what is their station in life or their color. His blood was found to be best constituted to succor Mrs. Robinson. Another driver went to relieve him and he was rushed to the women's ward. Drs. Joseph Lionello and Anthony Pirondino, assisted by Dr. Bernard Bottlieb, performed the operation. They said later they could recall no previous instance of such a blood transfusion. It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon when Hughes was wheeled from the women's ward. Shortly afterward he walked out of the hospital and Mrs. Robinson was declared out of danger. After dinner Hughes again took the wheel of his ambulance. Husband Shoots Mother-in-law Aiming At Wife Husband Shoots Mother-in-law Aiming At Wife (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) Pittsboro, N. C., April 15—Julia Green, a hard-working old woman living in Hickory, Mount Township, was shot to death with a shot-gun, by her son-in-law, Charlie Alston, Monday night about 10 o'clock, living an hour after being shot. Alston, in a jealous fit, was trying to shoot his wife when her mother jumped in between them receiving the entire load in her stomach. Officer John Burns of this place was soon upon the scene, but too late to catch the murderer. It was stated that a man present at the shooting, caught Alston and tried in vain to hold him until the officers arrived. Alston is still at large but Sheriff Blair and his deputies are scouring the country for him and are confident that they will soon apprehend him. Extradition of Minister Who Cashed Worthless Checks Lamented by Sorrowful Attendant. (Preston News Service) Newark, N. J., April 16.—Rev. Jefferson A. Davis wasn't wasting any time while he was awaiting extradition to this city, detectives learned when they visited the Tombs Thursday afternoon preparatory to bringing him here to answer complaints of embezzling sums totaling $2,395. Davis had taken under his spiritual guidance none other than another prisoner who Friday was sentenced to death on a first degree murder conviction. In fact, if the time for Davis' extradition hadn't arrived so quickly, he would have confirmed the condemned man. Davis didn't tell the police about his good work in the Tombs, but one of the keepers did and added that he was a model prisoner. Davis always had his Bible and would read it nightly, the keeper said. Then he began to get all the other prisoners interested. "Too bad he couldn't stay until Sunday," the keeper said. That murderer is scheduled to be confirmed as result or Davis' good teaching." Five Complaints. Head of Mutual Life Who Predicts Bright Future For Negro Business Firms A. B. Mr. Spaulding, present head of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance company, insists that the Negro in business must and will continue to prosper and expand. MILTON SIGNAL NOW PERFECTED Traffic Signal Completed by Local Man Perfect in Test; to Be Installed. Completing in perfect order .a twelve-hour test last Tuesday, the traffic signal invented by R. L. Milton, 314 Rondo St., has been acknowledged as one of the best in the country by the police force, according to Mr. Milton. Witnessed by the members of the Police and Fire departments from 11:59 a. m. to 12 midnight Tuesday, the signal worked continuously without a hitch. The signal will be left in operation in the city hall for public inspection on April 17, 18 from 12 noon until 10 p. m. In ten days it will be installed at Wabasha St. at Fifth, and as soon as others are ready, they will be placed in other parts of the downtown district. DEBATE SCHEDULED A debate between college students on the question, "Resolved, That Residential Segregation Could Be More Beneficial Than Harmful to the Negro," will be given under the auspices of the Young Matrons' club at St. James A. M. E. church, Thursday, April 29. Attorney B. S. Smith of Minneapolis has been secured as the judge of the event. Walter White on Western Tour to Hit Segregation Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has left New York for a Western tour in the course of which he will help organize the fight against segregation in Indianapolis, help prepare for the second trial in Detroit of Dr. O. S. Sweet and his ten co-defendants, and make preparations for the 17th Annual Conference next June in Chicago. Mr. White's tour will include the following cities: Charleston, West Va., Indianapolis, French Lick, Louisville, St. Louis, Jefferson City, Kansas City and then Chicago. The local police have five complaints against Davis, who gave his address as 246 West 127th street, New York. They are dated from August to October of last year, during which time Davis was general manager of the Investment Home Building Association in a Washington Street building. Robert W.

New York, April 15. — Israel Banks, a white merchant of Norfolk, Virginia, has been fined $600 for "involuntary manslaughter" in connection with the death of a little colored boy shot to death in his store, according to report to the National Office from the Norfolk branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peepers. David H. Edwards, President of the Norfolk N. A. A. C. P., W. L. Davis, Chairman of the Branch Legal Committee and J. Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, assisted the Commonwealth's prosecutor in conducting the case against the white merchant. Banks, the convicted merchant, testified that the shooting was accidental, that he broke open a revolver he kept in his store and a bullet in the chamber accidently exploded killing the young colored boy. Detectives testified, however, that the height of the counter was such that the boy could not have been accidentally shot from behind it unless the revolver had been held at the height of a man's shoulder. Reports sent by Mr. Edwards indicate that the occasion of the killing was a dispute over pay for work the young colored boy had done. The boy, it was testified, had carried in a load of wood for Banks. Having completed his job, the boy asked for his pay and was offered 5 cents. "That is not what you promised," he is reported to have said, whereupon the merchant is alleged to have reached under his counter and shot the 11-year-old child through the head. Mr. Edwards states it as of his personal knowledge that this is the third murder of a colored child under 13 years by white men in Norfolk within the past ten months. 4 ae | - Sel | sce EE TE { ae ee ee ee [| — - a . ” . isSii | _ | | | | Page Two ‘ 2 Py Ses eR ee he St.Paul Ech An Independent Negro Weekly Newspaper — PUBLISHED BY THE ST, PAUL ECHO COMPANY 614 Court Block ‘Telephone Cedar 1879 St. Paul, Minnesota es President and General Manager.._....___.................-.

And as it came, so it fled . . . . silently, without clamor, and in the very middle of its intended run. As though a giant arm had reached out and snatched it from the realm of things seen, it dis- appeared in a trice almost before the watching eyes of spectators. It will never return. The last local fight about it has been pitched into the limbo of things forgotten. It died a-borning, and its soul, locally, is dead as dead. 7 In passing it is interesting to note that ten years ago when the picture was made, the same tricks were used as are used today. Specifically, white persons with shorn hair and darkened skins un- convincingly attempted to play the parts of colored persons. Breach of artistic good taste, we would call that— a veritable hog-in-the- parlor trick. Mildly, the Negro is not portrayed as the breed of cow that we believe we are. Mildly again, the Ku Klux Klan presentation would influence a person without a sound knowledge of the history of the United States to believe that the Klan was not only justifi- able but necessary, and that as an organization, it should rank in nobility of purpose with the crusaders and the knights of the Holy Grail. Thus does the cinema fail of its duty to portray “histori- cal” incidents accurately! By the simple process of picking out one small part of one phase of the reconstruction period, taking but one side of that tiny portion, and heaping up damning evidence against the opposi- tion, the picture has painted the Negro blacker than his darkest ancestor could possibly have been. To the keen observer, the story was actually funny in spots. We nearly guffawed out loud at certain portions that were intend- ed to show the colored man at his crudest and most brutal. The pitiable part of the whole spectacle was that it brought approval and applause from parts of the hyper-intelligent Nordic audience. That, of course, is the danger of the picture. As a gripping story, pathetic in its picturization of portions of our own Civil war, it was good. As a denouncement of the post- war Negro, it was farcical. As an example of good cinema art, it is passe. Too long it has Been tottering on the brink of obscurity. Too long has its grave been dug. As sick of the critical public as the public is of it, there is no reason why it should longer be kept from its just rest. And in St. Paul, at least, the grave diggers have been active. “Dust to dust” has been pronounced over it; the last hymns chanted; the last rites done. The grave has been filled and smooth- ed over, and far below, The Birth of a Nation sleeps peacefully. So be it.

Such a record as the one which Judge George has attained is but another of the landmarks which are pointing the way to a greater and greater progress in the ranks of the American Negro. Achievement of the kind which this jurist can boast is open acknowledgment of the truth that merit will sooner or later win recognition. Having attained his position with the support not alone of colored voters, but with that of thousands of whites as well, his victory is the more notable. In other fields this same quality of merit will be a larger and larger factor in the advancement of the Negro as he begins to pre- pare himself rightly for the positions he desires. The story of the success of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance company is just such an illustration, Self-pity will never gain headway. Aggressive preparedness is to be the keynote of future advance. Where qualifications and ability will not gain entrance, admission made by pussyfooting and political chicanery will not result in any general or personal good. While it is undoubtedly true that the Horatio Alger type of boy who goes from the lowest rung of the success ladder to the seat at the top on sheer pluck and good manners is a myth, there is every reason to believe that those same characteristics combined with training and ambition will further a great deal the cause of any young man, black or white. To that ideal of hard work, stern training and useful life, the young Negro should adhere if he has the problem of race advance at heart. POT-SHOOTING MUSSOLINI Over in Italy some few years ago, a man seized the power of the country, took the reins of government, and set up a govern- ment of his own devising and his own personal management. Following the theory that the people of Italy were not eapable of deciding for themselves what was the best policy for them to follow in righting themselves from the reeling days of the war, and advancing the proposition that he was the one man in the country who could lead the way out of the intricacies of the post- war situation, he assumed the position of dictator, and entered on a period of absolute government. Last week, an attempt that almost succeeded was made upor the life of that man. While the affair was a small incident, it in- dicates the trend of thought in the people who are receiving a fine government in certain respects, but a government, nevertheless, in which they are taking no active part. ‘That attitude coincides with the kindred feeling which any people held in virtual or actual subjection would share. For that reason, the Negroes of America’ could never agree with the ar- bitrary policy of Mussolini, no matter what results it may have achieved. The attempted assassination of the dictator shows-the way of the blowing of the wind, and Mr. Mussolini, in spite of personal guards, in spite of his protective hierarchies of governmental workers, had better heed the warning.

Nevertheless, she has vague yearnings for the life she has deserted, and in a sudden perception of her real destiny, she leaves her husband and the white world and returns to her own people. ‘This is not a propagandist novel, but a truthful and immensely sig- nificant study of Negro life in Amer- ica. The action takes place in the Negro sections of New Orleans, At- lanta, Philadelphia and New York, so that the picture presented is a comprehensive one. Some excerpts from reviews of Mr. White's first novel, “The Fire in the Flint:” Sinclair Lewis— ‘THE FIRE IN THE FLINT’ is splendidly courage- ous, rather terrifying and of the highest significance.” Konrad Bereoviei in The Nation— “a stirring novel, beautifully and passionately written, the exact like of which has never been seen in the United States.” Carl Van Doren—"I find this book deeply moving and dramatic.” Zona Gale in The Saturday Re- view—“The finale is as intense as Greek tragedy, as extreme and as restrained and all compact of materi- gal upon which not even Greece could draw.” Carl Van Vechten—"I defy any one to read it without emotion.” Laurence Stallings in the World— ‘As a first novel it is a significant book. As any novel at all it is worth while, Few novels have been needed more.” People who intend to get copies of the first addition of “Flight” place their orders with The St. Paul Echo now, for the advance sale has already indicated that a second edi- tion may be necessary at once. ‘Mail orders will be promptly filled.

Progress. From such an humble genesis, the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company has developed into one of the strongest financial institutions ‘owned and operated by Negroes with assets of $2,750,471.66; Teserve for policies in force of $2,541,952.00 and surplus of $137,709.50. In like manner the plant and per- sonnel have grown, Fro an assess- ment association with three em- ployees, one home made desk, five ‘chairs and no insurance on the books, ‘the company has grown to be a firm- ‘ly established legal reserve company, ‘with 500 fleld representatives and 91 home office employees and more than forty mfllion dollars worth of insur- ance on its books. To meet the de- mands of the business five years ago a modern, fireproof, six-story build- ing was erected at a cost of a qué@ter of a million dollars, as the home of- fice. Concerning the growth of the com- pany, President Spaulding said: “I have deep personal satisfaction that we have been allowed the physi- cal, moral and economfe power un- der the same, continuous manage- ment to build and maintain the larg- est Negro life insurance company in the world, whose business has been as sclentifically managed as was pos- sible under the circumstances. Our slogan, “The Company with a Soul and a Service,” has been lived up to the letter. This is evidenced by the testimonies of our over quarter mil- lion policyholders, carrying over for- ty-four million dollars’ insurance in foree; by our two million seven hun- dred fifty thousand dollars in ad- mitted assets; one million four hun- dred thousand dollars of which is loaned to Negroes; by our having paid over five million dollars in claims during our brief history. I believe this is as fine a record for 4 company beginning with no capital or experience as could be found any- where. Being operated purely on a mutual basis, our progress is strictly tor the benefit of our policyholders.” NOTICE The St. Paul Echo can be pur- chased from the following churches in Minneapolis: St. James A.

HISTORY LEAFLETS NOW STARTING LAST EDITION Boston, Mass., April 15.—The first edition of the free historical leaflet issued by the National Equal Rights League from its national headquarters at 9 Cornhill, has been exhausted by early requests for copies by those eager to know the facts as to the part actually played by Afro-American soldiers in bringing about American Independence. The leaflet proves clearly the participation of our race in the Revolutionary War and in the events which led up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and is very opportune now that the sesquicentennial of that event is about to be celebrated. The second edition will be the last, hence requests, with 6 cents in stamps enclosed, should be sent at once. JIM CROW S. S. MEETING FOUGHT BY WHITE MAN Henry Smith, Associate Secretary of the American Missionary Association has protested against the Jim Crow Plans for the Birmingham Sunday School Convention. Mr. Leiper writes to the N. A. A. C. P.: "I have written to about forty prominent Protestant leaders since I heard about the matter. We of the American Missionary Association will have nothing to do with the convention under the circumstances and we want our Negro friends to know it." In St. Paul an average of almost a half million dollars was paid each working day for average receipts of about 300 carloads of live stock. CEDAR 6000 CALLA RED T Organized Responsibility ATLANTIC 4000 JOHN T. HASKELL AMANDA A. BOND. INDIANAPOLIS TO FIGHT ORDINANCE Colored Citizens Will Raise $5,000 for Legal Protest Against Segregation. (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) William Pickens, Field Secretary of the National Association, has received a report indicating that the citizens of Indianapolis are thoroughly aroused and intend to fight to the limit against the segregation ordinance recently passed by the city council and signed by the mayor in violation of the Supreme Court's decision in the Louisville Segregation Case. A letter from the Indianapolis branch, through Mrs. C. I. Taylor, its president, states that $2,210 in cash has already been raised toward the $5,000 which is to be used in fighting the segregation ordinance in the courts. "We have had five mass meetings in different parts of the city," says Mrs. Taylor's letter, "which attracted large and enthusiastic crowds and the financial response has been very gratifying. Churches, clubs, lodges and all industries where large numbers of colored people are employed are united in the fight and the citizens are realizing the seriousness of the situation, which should be the beginning of an awakening of interest in the things that the Association offers. We have proved that only through the N. A.A.C.P. can citizenship rights be protected and we believe from now on the branch will thrive."
