The St.Paul Echo Jewish Girl Refuses To Give Up Negro Lover Despite Father Attorney General Works on Situation in Florida New York, Oct. 15—An investigation is being made of the alleged conscription of Negro labor in Miami, Fla., concerning which the N. A. A. C. P. telegraphed protests to the President, the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Navy. A letter, which is addressed to James Weldon Johnson, N. A. A. C. P. Secretary, is signed by John Marshall, Assistant Attorney General, and reads as follows: "On behalf of the Attorney General, I acknowledge your telegram of Sept. 27, 1926, calling the Department's attention to the situation in Florida, with respect to the alleged conscription af labor at Miami, Florida. This matter is being investigated by the Department. Thank you for bringing it to our attention." CIVIL RIGHTS ACT STRUCK IN MICH. Private Property Theory Endangers Status of Right-granting Law. New York, Oct. 15.—An attack upon the Civil Rights law of the State of Michigan, in the form of an opinion by a judge that a theater is not a public enterprise "but is private property with the right to conduct its business privately the same as any other private citizen transacts his own affairs," will meet with the determined opposition of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at whose instance the Michigan Civil Rights Bill was enacted. The opinion in question was delivered by Leonard D. Verdier, Judge of the Superior Court of Grand Rapids, Michigan, in the case of Dr. Emmett N. Bolden, denied an orchestra seat, on account of his race, by the Grand Rapids Operating corporation in its local theater on December 14, 1925. Judge Verdier suggests in his opinion that since a theater is not a "public enterprise" but private property, "it is a very serious question" whether the Civil Rights Act does not contravene the provisions of the U. S. Constitution. The case therefore involves the validity of the Civil Rights law in the State of Michigan, as it applies to theaters and other places of public entertainment. The National office of the N. A. A. C. P. has communicated with the Detroit branch suggesting that that branch, the most powerful in the state, take the leadership in fighting this case. ELKS' CABARET OPENING BREAKS DULL PERIOD There could not have been any more gayety and pomp at the Columbus Day celebration in Spain than there was at the opening of the Elks' cabaret, at the Elks Rest. 207 W. Central Ave., on Tuesday night Oct. 12th. In their large palatial Rest which was artistically decorated, there was service for chewing gum to the most delicious of salads, while the sweet strains of music filled the air and the charming Gladys Naye warbled and tripped lightly across the glossed floor. Mrs. Babe Hannan also thrilled the guests when singing, "That's Why I Love You," and "Baby Face" by request. Chairman R. S. Harris, stated that his committee is working in harmony and it was the Daughters of the Social Session committee under Mrs. Opal Whyte who cared for the wants of the guests. The lady guests were honored with favors of roses that were given by Mr. Paul N. Coates, our present county engineer, who is running for re-election Nov. 2.

PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1926 Four Judges Of District Court Are Candidates For Re-Election; Voluntary Committee Manages "I Propose to Marry Mr. Rankin Despite the Protests of My Parents," Bertha Soffer Tells Reporters. Duquesne, Pa. Oct. 15—What is said to be a genuine romance had its beginning back in school days, came to light in the elopement of pretty Bertha Soffer, a clever Jewish maiden, aged 19, and John Rankin, aged 21. According to police reports, Miss Soffer went to New York City September 4 to visit with an aunt, her father's sister. A few days later she is said to have written to Rankin, who then went to New York. It is claimed that when Rankin made his third visit to Miss Soffer at the home of her aunt she was chastised for permitting him to call daily. Finally the aunt remonstrated with the girl, but to no avail. The girl then left her aunt's home. This was about the middle of September. The aunt then telephoned to her brother, the girl's father, and told him of the circumstances. The father, Sam Soffer, took up the matter with the District Attorney's office of Allegheny County. He swore out a warrant for the arrest of Rankin charging him with seduction, the girl being under 21 years of age. New York police soon located the couple and placed them under arrest. Mr. Soffer has gone to New York and declares that he will prosecute Rankin. Miss Soffer declares that she will stick with Rankin, no matter what happens. "We attended school together and have been ardent lovers from childhood and I propose to marry Mr. Rankin despite the protests of my parents and relatives. I love John and he loves me." First Place In Piano Contest To Duluth Man Duluth, Minn.—"The Volunteer Organist" was enacted at the Lyric vaudeville house Oct. 2, when Otis Hance of 1103 Michigan street, a laborer at the ore docks, appeared in a piano contest of jazz music. The other contestants, young men and women, all white, showed skill as jazz artists and the favorites were lustily applauded. As Mr. Hance, slightly gray haired and somewhat timid in appearance, took his place at the piano, uncomplimentary remarks were audible. But at his first touch the indifferent audience grew silent, and at the end of his number the applause was deafening. He was encored back time and again, and as the contestants lined up for the awards he was given first prize of $15 in gold with the unanimous approval of the audience. Lewis, Orr, Hanft, McNally Seek Re-instatement; Will Not Go Off Bench to Campaign. Four judges of the District Court are candidates for re-election. They are Judges Olin B. Lewis, Sr., Judge Grier M. Orr, Hugo O. Hanft and Carlton F. McNally. These judges themselves are actively engaged in the judicial work at the present time, and therefore will not be able to campaign. However, the lawyers of this county have organized a voluntary committee and have taken it upon themselves to carry on an active campaign upon behalf of Judges Lewis, Orr, Hanft and McNally. Headquarters have been established at No. 369 Robert St. Judge Lewis was admitted to the practice of the law in 1889. He practiced continuously in the city until 1896, when he was elected to the District Court Bench and has acted in that capacity for the past thirty years, having been re-elected four times. He is now the senior judge of our District Court. Since he has become the presiding judge he has done splendid work with the aid of his colleagues in the way of cleaning up the calendar, so that now a case can come to trial in a very short PAT HARRISON IN OHIO AS BACKER FOR POMERENE PAT HARRISON IN OHIO AS BACKER FOR POMERENE Senator Pomerene Voted for Filibuster to Hold Up Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill.

(Preston News Service) (Freston News Service) Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 15—Among the big speakers being brought into Ohio by the Democratic Campaign Committee in behalf of Senator Pomerene is Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi. It was Pat Harrison of Mississippi, who speaks in Ohio for the Democratic candidate, Pomerene, who led the filibuster in the Senate, beginning on Nov. 27, 1922, resulting in the defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill.

There were nine roll calls in connection with the filibuster. Every vote cast on the side of the filibuster was democrats, including those of Senators Harrison, King of Utah, and Pomerene, although Pomerene managed to escape several votes by simply going out of the Senate Chamber at the time.

"It's a living Hell here for a colored person and getting worse all the time, and the law here is worse than anything else. After everything becomes normal I will write you some of the conditions.

This enable litigants to obtain speedy justice, whereas otherwise, justice may be denied even in the event of victory. To accomplish this very desirable result it was necessary to curb all unnecessary delays in the law. Hon. Grier M. Orr was admitted to practice in 1883, and was actively engaged in the practice of law in St. Paul from 1884 to 1894, when he was elected Judge of the Municipal Court of this city. He served in that capacity for eight years, when he was elevated to the District Court Bench by a vote of the people of Ramsey County, where he has served as a Judge for the past twenty-four years. June 1, 1905, he organized our Juvenile Court, which he has conducted ever since. Today we have one of the best and most efficient Juvenile Courts in the United States. Judge Orr has gained fame for his excellent work in juvenile and domestic relations cases, which work he handles in addition to his work in other civil matters. Judge Hugo O. Hanfat was born and educated in this state and has always resided here. He was admitted to practice in 1896 after completing the regular and post graduate course at the law college of the University of Minnesota. He practiced law in St. Negro Patients Will Have Negro Doctors in Phila. (Preston News Service) Philadelphia, Pa. Oct. 15—Marked progress in tuberculosis prevention work among Negroes as a result of the employment of medical attendants of their own race is revealed in reports made public last Saturday by Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, former president of the National Tuberculosis Association and now Director of the Henry Phipps Institute of the University of Pennsylvania. The reports compiled for the Institute's Advisory Council of prominent physicians, scientists and educators, show that while fewer than 100 Negroes a year applied for treatment in the institute when work among them was carried on exclusively by white agencies, the total now reaches more than 2,600 annually since employment of Negro doctors and nurses. SOUTHERN MYTH BUTT OF ATTACK SOUTHERN MYTH BUTT OF ATTACK White Woman Says Danger Lies in Wait for Colored, Not White Women. (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) Following William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. who lately nailed, in the columns of the N. Y. Tribune, the old lie that white women cannot walk with safety in the South for fear of attack, a white woman has written to the same newspaper. This woman, Dr. Carrie K. Bartlett, not only reports that for years she taught and moved freely among Negroes in Arkansas and North Carolina without ever areceiving anything but courteous treatment and assistance; but adds that it is the colored women who fear attack from white men, not the white women who need to fear attack from Negroes. Says Dr. Bartlett: "I never received from a Negro man or woman anything but the most perfectly courteous treatment, but I learned from the colored maids of the friend with whom I was living, of a situation for which I wish we might find a remedy. These colored women are afraid to go on the streets alone after dark for fear of attack by white men. Most of the maids go home at night. They believe that they do not have as good police protection as do white women, and for mutual protection get together and go home in groups. It seems to me that it is the colored, not the white, women of the South for whose safety we should be concerned." Some people, who are always talking about Heaven will never get there.

From 1900 to 1906 he served as assistant county attorney under Thomas R. Kane. In 1906 he was elected to the Municipal Court Bench, here he served until 1914, when he was elected to the District Court Bench. Judge Hanft has served in a judicial capacity for the past twenty years. He has ever been a close student of the law, and is one of the most learned judges on our bench. The interest that he has shown in judicial work is proved by the fact that he has made many good citizens out of offenders. Judge McNally has practiced law continuously in St. Paul for many years, except for the time he spent in active service in France as an officer of the U. S. Army in the recent World War, having been associated with the law firms of O'Brien, Young & Stone and Doherty & McNally. In August, 1920, he was appointed the first Assistant Corporation Counsel of the City of St. Paul, in which capacity he served until June, 1922, when he was elected corporation counsel of the City of St. Paul and (Continued on page 2) MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Sparks From Political Arena IVERSON FOR EQUALITY In a message of confidence to the colored people of the 12th ward, Mr. Harry Iverson makes clear the fact that he believes in the equal rights of our citizens, regardless of their creed or color and that he is for honesty, integrity and service.

During the 14 years that he has been employed in the court house, he has given material assistance to Negroes, and has always maintained a favorable attitude toward them.

The money raised by the ball for the home was clear with the exception of the slight expense for light and heat. MIKE KINKEAD FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY Has Served in Office and Is Grad uate of the St. Paul College of Law. Mr. Michael Kinkead, candidate for County Attorney of Ramsey County, is one of the promising aspirants for this office. He has served some time in this office, being first assistant to the present incumbent, but resigned during the trial of the Gleeman brothers, due to a statement made by the present incumbent in the press, which was resented by Mr. Kinkead. He is a thoroughly capable man, a very able lawyer, aggressive, efficient and with Abraham Lincoln like proclivities. This young man came to this country in his boyhood from Limerick, Ireland, where he graduated from the Royal Academy at Dublin. He is a graduate of the St. Paul College of Law of this city and has numbered among our group many staunch friends, due to the fact that he is of an unbiased mind. Mr. Kinkead states his guaranty is to give to all, regardless of class distinction, every protection afforded by the laws of this county, state and the United States.

Madam Brown sang each number with an unusual beauty and sweetness and the appreciation of the audience was very obvious. The chorus is continuing its rehearsals for their concert, in February when they will present a nationally known singer as soloist. --- HAVE YOU BEEN shooting Chinese ring-necked pheasants in your fall hunts?

"Health Blows Through Open Windows" is the slogan of the campaign which the Hennepin County Tuberculosis Association will conduct the week of October 17-24. The purpose of the campaign is to remind people to keep their windows open day and night. Just at the season of the first chilly weather, the Tuberculosis Association displays cheerful posters to emphasize the value of fresh air for health, so that windows may not be closed tightly and health shut outside the home. Window Displays. Merchants of the city are co-operating in window displays featuring woolen blankets, warm bathrobes, hot water bottles, electric heating pads and other comforts as aids to getting fresh air in sleeping rooms at night, with the maximum of comfort.

ROADS HURT BY FALL DOWNPOUR Only One Clear Day Recorded for September; 5.53 Inches of Rain Fell. The long period of rainy weather which Minnesota has gone through this fall has been a severe test of the state's road system. In spite of the rain, the trunk highways as well as many of the state aid and county roads, have been such that traffic has continued uninterrupted. The U. S. weather bureau at St. Paul recorded only one clear day in September, 16 rainy days and a total of 5.53 inches of rainfall. In August there were 10 rainy days and 4.27 inches of precipitation at St. Paul. October started out with almost as much rain in three days as in a normal month. "The long rainy period, following a prolonged dry season when the surface materials on heavily traveled roads had been ground into powder, has brought some difficult problems and a lot of extra work to our maintenance forces," C. M. Babcock, State Highway commissioner, said recently. "But with all the rain, hard downpours followed by all day drizzles, there have been only two or three places on the entire trunk highway system where construction work made the road impassable for brief periods, and two or three more where it was necessary to use chains to get through. Roads that have been graded and graveled according to present day standards and where traffic is not too heavy, remained practically as smooth after a week of rain as in normal weather.

In last week's issue of The Pittsburgh Courier, a long story concerning the "dissipation" of the money left in the Garland fund was featured. By implication, The Courier blamed directly certain officials in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People with getting large sums of the money for themselves and their pet projects, and for some of their intimates and their projects. The New York Age, also in last week's issue, ran an editorial calling attention to the fact that the Garland fund had already been applied in the way that it was intended to go, and praised the directors of the fund for its judicious use of the fund! Some months ago, at the time of the Sweet trial in Detroit, one of the writers for The Courier questioned the motives of the N. A. A. C. P. in handling the money raised for the defense fund and pointed some rather nasty remarks at the officers of the National Association. That article is recopied in the present attack upon the administrators of the Garland fund. The whole business stinks a bit, and is as much apparently as indicative of sensationalism upon the part of The Courier as it is honest effort upon their part to get to the truth. There is no way for outside parties to clear the matter up. The charges proffered by The Courier, substantiated as they are with impressive figures, are serious enough to merit the attention of the National Association. The story is not the sort of thing which can be pooh-poohed. It is too important to be ignored, and if untrue, should form the basis for an excellent libel suit. For its own security, and in even justice to its members scattered the country over, the National Association office should openly answer the attack of The Pittsburgh Courier.

Jack Dempsey, ex-heavyweight champion of the world, has just taken the long step from the spotlight of publicity down the short path which leads to oblivion. Shortly behind him, Harry Wills, long regarded as the foremost challenger for the heavyweight title, has taken the same path. Of the two incidents, the fall of Wills is much the more to be deplored. The Associated Press dispatch seemed to be perfectly fair in its treatment of the fight. Wills, it said, was outfought from the first round, and lacked completely the aggression, skill and speed which had gained him fame. Like Dempsey, he had been too long from the work of the ring. Even the unfortunate fact that Wills was disqualified on fouls was not given in the A. P. release as a matter attaching to itself any especial odium. The fight was terminated with Wills the loser; there was little more said. With the fact that Dempsey might have been indirectly responsible for the outcome of this fight because he kept Wills for a long time on edge with tentative plans for a match, and finally cheated him of the chance for a championship bout, we are not here concerned. Close followers of the fight game have indicated that for some time Wills has not been himself. His showing against Sharkey seems to verify the statement of the critics. We are sorry to see Wills' professional demise. Shelved too long, he was the victim of an unfortunate circumstance. As he goes to obscurity, it can be said of him in pride that he was a fighting gentleman.

About a month ago, a statistical expert in the U. S. Census Bureau reported a remarkably high death rate of the Negro. Since that time, the Metropolitan Life Insurance company has made an even more startling disclosure regarding the same material. The Metropolitan claims that "tuberculosis mortality among the more than two million Negro industrial policy-holders in 1925 was approximately three times that for whites." Reasons for this discrepancy between the white and Negro death rate from this disease are not hard to find. Chief among them are poor housing conditions. A survey made recently by the Minneapolis Urban league showed a high correlation between improper housing and Negro tuberculosis deaths in Minneapolis. That being true, the Negroes of this community would do well to seize upon the health measures so readily available from public agencies. Minneapolis and St. Paul, naturally as "healthful" cities as any in the United States, have no justifiable reason for supporting a high Negro mortality from tuberculosis. Let us enter aggressively into the spirit of health campaigns. Let us fight danger with prevention. Let us, by earnest co-operation with welfare bodies, establish ourselves as the healthiest Negro community in the country. Oh, restive youth!

CROWD ATTACKS (Preston News Service) Crowley, La., Oct. 14—Louis Ledet, aged 16, was at his parents' home in Eunice, Friday and expected to recover from a brutal attack said to have been made last Thursday night by a crowd of hooded white men who took him from jail at Eunice where he was being held following his arrest Wednesday for an alleged attack on a white woman several days ago. It is said that five automobiles filled with hooded men drew up in front of the jail where the authorities were holding Ledet.

He proved himself to be a very capable lawyer, having successfully handled very important litigation for this city against some of the ablest lawyers in this state. As judge of the District Court, he has proved himself to be well fitted for that office. He has a good knowledge of the law; a quick, keen and analytical mind. He has shown himself to possess judicial temperament, and an ability to be fair, just and impartial to all litigants. To Judge McNally goes the credit for adopting the plan for reclaiming first offenders, in deserving cases, through the aid of service clubs. This plan has been endorsed by the other judges, and is being taken up by the civil clubs and business men of the city as one workable means of combating the crime wave. The work of carrying on the campaign of the judges will be done by volunteer attorneys and the funds for the purpose have been raised among the lawyers of this county. These judges have presided in hundreds of very important cases and have always acquitted themselves with credit. Their many years of experience upon the district bench makes them very valuable to this county and the State of Minnesota. Their splendid records entitle them all to re-election. was found broken and and the prisoner gone. Young Ledet was employed as a delivery boy for a local drug store.

Open windows favor a cooler atmosphere, create more varied and stimulating air conditions and lessen the susceptibility to and the spread of respiratory diseases."

Throughout the campaign, Miss Radebaugh said, fresh air will be advocated as the cheapest and most beneficial medicine.

If the pressure is increased in one place, the surface of the water there is lowered, and elsewhere correspondingly raised. If the change is one which lessens the pressure locally the water surface beneath the lessened pressure rises while it falls elsewhere. Once these changes are set up, there is some pulsation of the water level before equilibrium is established again. A few weeks ago an Englishman drove up to the town hall of Rouen, France, handed the mayor 3,000 francs for distribution among local charities, and explained: "I was a motor driver in the army during the war, and in 1916 I ran into a French woman and smashed her umbrella. I did not stop to compensate her for the damage, and the fact that I didn't have prey on my mind ever since. Will you please accept this as some sort of recompense?" The score was 27 to 0 in favor of the visiting eleven at the end of the first period, yet the fair young fan who had announced she had placed a stake on the home team did not seem disheartened.

PAUL ECHO WARNING GIVEN AGAINST ‘CARBON MONOXIDE GAS With colder weather already here, it is well for motorists to remem- ber the danger of poisoning from au- tomobile exhaust gases. Never, says ‘@ State Highway bulletin, leave your engine running in a small garage ‘with the doors closed. Carbon mon- oxide, which is present in exhaust gas, kills quickly, and the engine should never be started until the doors have been opened, and should be stopped immediately after enter- ing @ garage.
