VOL.1, NO.43 NEGRO NEGRO BUSINESS MEN ELECT ST. PAULITE OFFICER F. D. McCracken Chosen Regional Director for Third Consecutive Year. Obtain $10,000 Budget Business Experts to be Hired for Travel, Advice to Local Leagues. (By the Associated Negro Press) Cleveland, O., August 25.—At the 27th annual session of the National Negro Business League held here August 18-19-20, F. D. McCracken of St. Paul was re-elected regional director of the 12th district which is comprised of Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota. This is the third consecutive year that Mr. McCracken has held the regional directorship of the 12th district. Plans Formulated A determination to make the league a functioning, practical organization carrying tangible business help, and the actual financing of the league's progressive 1927 program were the outstanding features of the session. Through the work of the executive committee, a budget of $10,000 has been established out of which will be paid salaries to organizers and business experts who will be put in the field immediately to develop local leagues, place business service at the disposal of the members, and give expert advice to "sick" leagues. Officers declare that the budget coupled with the extensive plans for its use will give the league the finest opportunity it has had during the years of its existence to help out the business men of the group to a fuller realization of the fruits of business activity. Dr. Robert R. Moton was re-elected president of the league and a (Continued on page 4) SOUTHERN WOMEN TRAVEL IN WEST Attend National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; Visit Yellowstone.

Y., to attend the National Hairdressers' convention. Before returning she will visit in New York City, Cleveland and Chicago. She plans to be gone about two weeks. BEAUTY PARLOR OPENS IN MPLS. Poro System to Be Used by Mrs. Nellie Bogen, Proprietor of New Shop. Mrs. Nellie Bogen, a graduate of the famous Poro School of Beauty Culture, has opened attractively furnished and easily accessible parlor at 234 13th avenue south, Minneapolis. Not only to Minneapolis women, but to St. Paul patrons as well, Mrs. Bogen offers the advantages of a shop just a step from the carline and clean beyond scrupe. To a naturally sympathetic and pleasing personality, Mrs. Bogen adds a well-grounded knowledge of her profession, which includes the Poro method of hair culture, facial treatment and manicure, all recognized parts of beauty culture. In speaking of her entrance into the field of beauty culture, Mrs. Bogen said in part: "One of the encouraging signs of the times in racial development is the contribution the women of our group are making in economic channels. Retreating from the region of the kitchen and taking her place in the ranks of business, our women have wisely taken counsel of our race needs, and have prepared themselves to meet them. "Chief among these needs is the care of the person and a wider appreciation of personal appearances and of the toilet accessories whose use demands scientific application." Prices at the new parlors for the capable services rendered range well within the possibilities of the modest purse. Mrs. Bogen and her assistants are at work all day. Appointments outside of business hours may be arranged for at Drexel 0977. Local Colored Author Allows Time for Work Mrs. Lillian Coleman, author of "Souls," and "Dreamland," will have her new novel ready for the printer Sept. 1, 1926. Outside of her writing, Mrs. Coleman finds time to handle more ordinary pursuits and even to work a bit. Elected of the judges of the election board for the city, county and state, she also served at the special election August 24. Mrs. Coleman was the only colored woman on the election board, the other judges and two clerks being white. The elections at which Mrs. Coleman officiated this year occurred on March 16, May 4, June 21., August 24, and will terminate with the election on November 2. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1926 Mid-Yearly Report Of Minneapolis Branch Of N.A.A.C.P.Shows Officers Pleased With Past Advance, Optimistic Over Future Speakers of National Note, Protests Against Discrimination Stand Out. The Minneapolis branch of the N. A. A. C. P. closed one of the most successful drives in its history with a meeting at the Phyllis Wheatley house Monday night, July 19. Too much credit cannot be given to Dr. M. W. Judy and his immediate workers and their assistants, for Mrs. Jessie Shephard the Phyllis Wheatley house Monday night., July 19. Too much credit cannot cannot be given to Dr. M. W. Judy and his im- mediate work- ers and their assistants, for their untriring and unceasing work during the drive which culminated in an accredited membership of approximately 400. Assisting Dr. Judy was a staff of five captains, and under each of these captains ten lieutenants, and at no time during the drive except a Mrs. Foree couple of weeks when Dr. Judy was out of the city, was there a time when he was not in touch with his captains and through them each of his lieutenants. Smith Praised In reviewing the work of the association under the presidency of Mr. W. M. Smith, it is perhaps well to go back to the beginning of 1925. Accepting the office when the association was on the verge of disintegration, and when no one else would assume the responsibility; with an executive committee that failed to function for various reasons; the work of the association for the year was negligible and gave rise to much criticism; but with the election of 1926 in which Mr. Smith was again prevailed upon to accept the office, and with a new executive committee, and under the untiring energy of the president affairs took a new and an upward turn. In response to an appeal from the national office at New York, the executive committee caused to be prepared and presented to the various churches through members of the executive committee, protests to the passage of a bill by Senator Caraway of Arkansas, prohibiting mixed marriages in the District of Columbia. These protests carried something over 500 signatures, and a copy was sent to both of our Minnesota senators and to the congressmen from this district. New Activity. The case of one of our group, confined at the asylum at Rochester for the criminal insane, was also referred to the local branch from the national office at New York. Deputy Sheriff John Allison investigated the case for the local branch and his findings were reported back to the national office. Under the direction of the chairman of publicity and meetings, aside from the monthly meeting of the executive committee, public meetings were held once each month at the various churches, where not only those things directly concerning the N. A. A. C. P. were discussed, but an otherwise interesting program was presented. These meetings not only drew from a point of interest in themselves, but awakened an inter- (Continued on page 3) A Miss Margaret Vinegar Secretary M. Mrs. Fannie M. Shanks Executive committee O. J. Smith Assaulted by Stepfather With Revolver Because of domestic trouble between Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Robinson, 562 Gaucer St., Mr. Robinson is waiting trial under $500 bonds on a charge of having assaulted his stepson, Atty. O. J. Smith, 328 Metropolitan Bank Bldg., with a revolver on the evening of Thursday, August 19. Mr. Robinson is reported to have fired twice at Mr. Smith. Mrs. Robinson filed for divorce from Mr. Robinson on May 8 of this year. The case is expected to come up some time the latter part of next month. Friction between Mr. Robinson and his wife caused Atty. Smith to be taken into the argument. Atty. Smith is a prominent young attorney of the city, and active in church and Sunday school work. As a matter of policy, he refused to add anything to the details which the court action brought out. SCHOOL AWARDS PLAN OF ELKS Fund of $18,000 Raised by Educational Tax to Be Used for Scholarships. Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 25.—More than $18,000 in scholarships for intermediate, secondary and collegiate institutions will be awarded Negro youths by the board of education of the grand lodge of colored Elks, which is holding its annual session in Cleveland, Ohio, preceding the convention of that body. This sum has been raised through an educational tax and through subscriptions of individual lodges of the order. The educational department was established last year at the grand lodge session in Richmond, to assist indigent young men and women of high scholastic abilities. Many applications have been made for scholarships from this city. Masons Complete 32nd Annual Communication In Winnipeg,Can. A. H. W. M. Smith President Dr. M. W.

Jackson class in dancing will be presented by its instructor in its second annual exhibition at the New Como theater, University avenue at Kent street, next Friday and Saturday, Sept. 3-4. The first annual exhibition of the class given at the Church club, Portland avenue at Dale street, was judged by capable critics to be one of the most artistic and brilliant dance performances ever given in the city. In the exhibition next Friday and Saturday, eight toe dancers will be featured. Ballet, tap, character, and jazz dancing will also be displayed. The members of the class vary in age from two to 18 years and are all local children. Mrs. Jackson, instructor, has received laudatory comment for her remarkable work with the class from periodicals the country over. MUNICIPAL HOSPITAL PUTS NEGRO ON STAFF New York, Aug. 25.—Dr. Louis T. Wright of Harlem has recently been appointed Surgeon to Out-Patients and adjutant assistant visiting surgeon of Harlem hospital, which is one of the Bellevue and Allied hospitals. This means that Dr. Wright is now on the regular staff of the hospital. He is the only Negro in the United States on the regular staff of a municipal hospital. Dr. Wright was regularly appointed after a year's service as provisional surgeon. Prior to this time he was connected with the hospital as physician to the Out-Patient department.

What is believed to be the largest real estate deal ever launched by Negroes in the Northwest was closed Thursday afternoon when papers were signed by a group of men who will constitute the Minesure Development company to take over 280 acres of land on the St. Croix for use as a summer resort. The land is in Washington County, Minn. John Williams, Frank King, James Williams, Cyrus L.

The Men's Athletic Club of Phyllis Wheatley House honored Miss W. Gertrude Brown, head resident, at a large reception Wednesday evening, August 18. The auditorium was beautifully decorated in cut flowers. Over four hundred citizens both white and colored were present to welcome Miss Brown home after a three months' visit in Europe. Mr. Wendell Jones, secretary of the Athletic club, was toastmaster. Several vocal solos were rendered by Paul Curry and John Hickman of St. Paul, the latter being the director of the Twin City Choral club. Mrs. W. R. Banks welcomed Miss Brown on behalf of Phyllis Wheatley House, and Mrs. James Paige, member of the Minnesota legislature, on behalf of the citizens of Minneapolis. In Miss Brown's response she gave a brief sketch of her trip to the International Settlement Congress in Paris, and the International Woman's Congress of Peace and Freedom, held in Dublin July 8-15, and her sight-seeing trips in England, Ireland and France. 4 ∠ "Entered as second class matter Nov. 7, 1925, at the post office at St. Paul, Minn., under the act of March 3, 1879" THE NEW COMO THEATER state rumor which bids fair to kill it has been spread concerning opened under colored management adiction to that false report, le the New Como is not a segregated opened to divert colored patronage at any person or group of person cause of its opening is willfully the Como has remained dark.

An unfortunate rumor which bids fair to kill an infant enterprise a-borning has been spread concerning the New Como theater, newly opened under colored management. In flat contradiction to that false report, let it be stated at the outset that the New Como is not a segregation proposition, that it was not opened to divert colored patronage from the Faust theater, and that any person or group of persons spreading such a version of the cause of its opening is willfully and maliciously lying. For years the Como has remained dark. It was remodeled and reopened because it is logically in a position to compete on an equal basis with any other neighborhood theater, regardless of location. That the idea of opening it was conceived by a colored man is irrelevant. It has been opened and put into the field of competition on exactly the same basis that any other theater would have been. Taken under the wing of a large and powerful theater company, it is guaranteed excellent pictures, city-wide advertising, and any kind of patronage that advertisements in the daily papers will bring. Were it not for the pernicious falsehoods which have been started by some too-sensitive person and spread to too-sensitive listeners, the Como would be assured of success by the mixed patronage of the neighborhood in which it is located. With advertising under the Finkelstein & Ruben banner, and with direct supervision from the manager of the Faust, a man, incidentally, known both for his business ability and for his unfailing courtesy to colored patrons, the Como at the time of its conception was predicted by experienced men in the theater world of the city to be a sure winner. As a matter of fact, at the present time, two weeks after its opening, its clientele is small, largely white—and all because rumor has labeled it, in the face of facts and common sense, a segregation proposition! It is high time that the colored people of this community begin to realize their possibilities as a group; that they help shoulder the community responsibilities and privileges as a unit; and that they give combined support to the things which will in some way benefit themselves. The New Como theater is such an activity. It offers possibilities to colored artists which locally they have never had before; it is throwing open its doors to entertainments by clubs, societies and churches; it is giving employment to colored people. Attending it should not be made an irksome duty, and at the same time, not attending it for an absurd, unsound reason should be scored heartily. If the colored people of the surrounding district adopted the same policy which has prompted their white neighbors, both the Faust and the Como theaters would be well attended, variety to the theatergoers would be furnished, and the newly-born Como would thrive. Let us try in the future to view this theater in a sane and unbiased light. BACK TO SCHOOL of next month, the new school is formal "go to school" campaign time, but in sheer justice to them esota should be spreading prop- tate of school age who is not cont. An attempt should be made at- tor to increase the enrollment of o- to somewhere near the percentage At the end of next month, the new school year will open. There is no formal "go to school" campaign being carried on at the present time, but in sheer justice to themselves, the colored people of Minnesota should be spreading propaganda to every person in the state of school age who is not contemplating returning to school. An attempt should be made at the beginning of each school year to increase the enrollment of colored children in public schools to somewhere near the percentage it should be. That attempt will never be successful if carried on only by a small group of detached fraternity men or by a scattering of individuals who have become alarmed over the small colored attendance of the public schools of the municipalities and state. Such propaganda should become a sort of gospel with parents and far-visioned adults. It should be a clarion call to the youth of the race bidding them to greater heights of achievement. One of the adult fraternal societies has helped to make the way easier for colored students of promise by laying aside a fund of $18,000 which will be awarded in scholarships. It is from such a spirit that the much-needed educational renaissance of American Negro youth will spring. A. B. Xuma, native of Africa, and possessor of several degrees from three of the finest schools in America, said recently in a short public address: "In my native land the boys and girls, young men and women, are fairly crying for an opportunity to get any of the crumbs of education. In Minnesota, whose school system is acknowledged to be of the best, colored children, aided and abetted, it seems, by a certain type of indifferent parent, leave school as soon as possible for no reason at all. Their attitude is a race tragedy and that of their parents, criminal." Harsh criticism, and yet justifiable. There is no valid excuse for our educational sloth. As the end of September draws near we should try to shake off the guilt we must feel if we are race-loving, and gathering the nucleus of a school-going band about us trumpet the "back to school" call until the band is swelled to an army. Now that the Florida courts have imposed a $518 fine upon a Negro for riding through the state in a Pullman car, we wonder when the State Legislature will put through an "Integrity law a la Virginia."

Dil- (Continued from page 1) "For more than three-quarters of a century the American Negro has felt a bond of affection for Canada. This was brought about because of the intolerable conditions created in the North through the provisions of the Omnibus Bill drawn by Henry Clay and signed by President Fillmore, which decreed among other things the surrender of runaway slaves by the free states into which they might escape. This left Canada the only place where the fleeing Negro was absolutely safe. Her soil was free, and Great Britain would allow no one to lay hands on him. Thus there was born through the means of what was known as the Underground Railroad, a feeling of affection, which waxed and grew as scores in a dusky procession threaded their stealthy way from the Ohio to the Great Lakes or the St. Lawrence towards the beacon light of the North Star, Canada. "Therefore, it was with singular pride that the leaders of the Negro race viewed the spectacle of four hundred thousand Negro soldiers fighting shoulder to shoulder with the invincible armies of the Allies, among which no greater, nor more courageous were there than the Canadian forces. When one thinks of the World War, he immediately thinks of Ypres, where one hundred thousand found their graves in ten months, and the achievements of the first Canadian division. These elements will live forever in the minds of the students of history. "So, my brothers, we again join hands with the Canadians to battle still for princes and ideals as high and lofty as those for which our brothers stood shoulder to shoulder while their life's blood dyed scarlet the soil of sunny France — through Masonic fraternalism. "From somewhere in the misty depths of a mysterious civilization Free Masonry has come down to us, scattering along her pathway fragrant flowers of brotherly love, charity, tolerance and truth. The flight of time has not dulled her odor, nor made sluggish the blood that richly courses through her veins. The pathway of Masonry all down through the ages may readily be traced by the magnificent monuments of her glorious achievements in the uplift of humanity. "Masonry has been the world's teacher of tolerance. Masonry is tolerant of all faiths, but Masonry is not without faith. It has its Bible, its altar, its prayers and its lessons of reverence. Wherever Bellingham tion of the Most Worshipful Grand a F. and A. M., held in Winnipeg, unanimously elected Most Worshipful Masonry does its work there will be found a school of tolerance consistent with religious belief. Anarchists are not found in its ranks. Disturbers of peace and order are beyond its borders. "We are taught to practice charity towards all men, and especially to those in need. If we would be true to our order in thought, word and action, as well as in name, we must look deeper than the ritual. We must study the true meaning of our beautiful symbols. "We are taught that all are created equal and that the internal and not the external qualifications are the true standard of worth. We do not claim that all our members reach the high ideals contemplated and taught by our order. Perfection on earth has never yet been attained. We do claim, however, that its teachings exercise a beneficent influence on its members, and that the world is better for its existence. "There is no noise or bluster about Masonic work, no pomp or show, quietly and without publicity its charitable acts are performed. It adds to its record for good deeds day by day, until finally when the work is completed it will form a beautiful and perfect whole, so that Patriotic Benevolent Order of Bees (Incorporated in Minnesota) We take care of our sick, bury the dead and assist the worthy members in financial difficulties.

CHICAGO SCENE OF RACE CLASH Automobile Destroyed; Fire Started; Girl Hurt; Guards Used to Protect Homes. (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Aug. 25.—Homes of Negroes in the Maxwell Street District on the West Side of Chicago were the objects of attacks by white residents Wednesday night. Police say that the whites were angered when Negroes encroached beyond a line which the whites had agreed among themselves far enough for the colored citizens to go. An automobile belonging to a colored man, Robert Woodman, was destroyed, and flaming rag-wrapped bricks were thrown through the windows of the home of George Williams, a blind veteran of the World War. One girl was seriously hurt. Firemen extinguished the flames and police restored order, guards being placed around several houses occupied by Negroes. The Maxwell Street district is often referred to as "The Ghetto." It is very thickly populated with Jewish tradesmen, and poor foreigners. It is a great market center. In the last few years many Negroes have moved into the district, most of them coming from the south. It was there that William Bell was lynched three years ago.

Women Fight For Greb Obvious Lack of Training Noted in Weary, Burned-out Ex- Holder of Crown. ¢ ey Service) Madison Square Garden, Aug. 26. —Harry Greb of Pittsburgh, who played fast and loose with all the rules of training when he was mid- dieweight champion of the world, so that he lost the title to Tiger Flow- ers of Georgia, proved unable to re- gain his lost laurels in a return bout at Madison Square Garden last Wed- nesday night. Flowers, only race man ever ‘to hold the world’s middleweight cham- pionship, easily outpointed Greb in a 15-round bout to a decision. A furious rally in the fourteenth and fifteenth rounds, in which the Pittsburgher threw all his waning strength into the conflict, could not change the outcome, which was de- cided long before the bout drew to a close. Champion Greb’s Master. ‘The fight, which for the most”part was slow and uninteresting, was a repetition of the previous encounter between this ‘pair last February. Flowers demonstrated that he was always Greb's master, beating Harry to the punch and outscoring him when they wrestled in close quarters. Greb, despite his promises of re- form, obviously had not trained any too well and was in no shape to beat the “Tiger,” who was unmarked at the finish, save for a slight cut over one eye, sustained when his face col- lided with Greb’s bobbing head. ‘The evening was enlivened by the misguided enthusiasm of two of Greb’s women friends, ‘who went around the ring after the decision had been rendered attacking those they believed responsible for the ver- dict, One of the girls slapped Dick Mur- phy, the veteran Western Union chief, in the mistaken belief that he was one of the judges Although the crowd rooted for Greb throughout the fight, and Jim Crowleg, the referee, gave Harry ev- ery break when it came to a question of separating the men, there never was any” doubt as to the champion’s supremacy. Flowers fought as well as he ever has, in the face of @ slashing, two- handed attack which Greb launched at long range. There was a deal of holding, in which both men were of- fenders, and too much wrestling to suit the fans,-who numbered nearly 15,000. - DEATHS - Frank H.
