Special Baptist Meeting Jas.
Called To Discuss Unity
Postponed By Dr. Prince,
A. F. & A. MASONS
OFFER BIG PRIZES
FOR BOYS, GIRIS
Announcements this week were re-
leased from the home office of the
Most Worthy St. Joseph Grand Lodge
and the Mt. Olive Grand Chapter of
the Order of Eastern Star, over the
signature of Hon. P. A. Hill, 33°,
grand matser, and attested by Hon. P.
H. Bellamy, Jr., 32*, grand secretary,
giving the very welcome and very im-
portant news that through the kind-
ness and in keeping with the far-
sighted and uplifting program of
Most Worthy St. Joseph Grand
Lodge, some lucky boy or girl in Tex-
as will enjoy next year the privilege
and honor of attending any school or
college in the state he or she may se-
lect, absolutely free of any tuition or
scholarship charges. There are ab-
solutely no strings tied to the offer.
Any Negro boy or girl in Texas of
schol age is eligible to enter this con-
test and win.
This offer is particularly signifi-
cant in view of the fact that the M.
W. St. Joseph Grand Lodge, Ancient
Free and Accepted Masons and the
Mt. Olive Grand Chapter, Order of
Eastern Star and Daughters of the
Sphinx, is one of the very few insti-
tutions offering scholarships as priz-
es. This fact becomes even more sig-
nificant when it is realized that the
scholarship is not to be valued merely
at its present monetary value or to be
compared with mere pieces of gold or
baubles that gold will buy and which
are soon loot and ultimately forgot-
ten, for in the year’s study, the stu-
dent will accumulate knowledge and
develop the faculties that will not
only enable him to realize the com-
forts of worldly goods in Lima to
come, but which will make of him a
self-respecting, contented, upstand-
ing and worthy citizen of his commu-
nity and his country, and a benefit to
his race. Statisticians show that ev-
ery day of a high school student’s life,
spent in school is worth $15 to him in
later life, and every day of a college
student’s life spent in school far ex-
ceeds this amount. This might give
some faint idea of the partial value
of the prize, although it does not in-
clude the spiritual, moral or physical
benefit to the student.
The contest is free to all. The
rich and poor, the high and low, ev-
erbody is invited to enter. Pursuing
its broad policy exemplified in the
past, the order does not limit entry to
children of members, but to all chil-
dren, all young men and women, de-
sirous of furthering their education.
This valuable prize will be given
away absolutely free to the high point
boy or girl. Here is your opportunity
to win the satisfaction of proving to
yourself and to your friends that you
can make it yourself.
The contest begins March 15, 1933,
and ends July 15, 1933. You have
four months in which to succeed. Get
an early start over your opponents by
sending in your name and address
now.
Address the contest director, P. H.
Bellamy, Jr., P. 0. Box 113, Austin.
He will gladly send all particulars.
This may mean more to you or to
your boy or girl than you realize.
Don’t put it off, act now. If you
want to, simply tear out this article.
Write your name and address on it
plainly and the contest director will
write you.
Prominent Baptist
Minister Laid To
Rest At Hearne
BEAUMONT.--Dr. S. R. Prince,
president. General Baptist Convention,
whose is conducting a revival at the
Antioch Baptist Church of this city
stated this week that the meeting of
the Baptist commission to discuss the
uniting of the conventions of the state
has been postponed. The reason for
the change is that the new dates,
April 26 and 27, will be more conven.
ient for all concerned. Dr. Prince’s
written statement in which the change
la announced follows in full.
It is our desire to arrange the date
of our joint commission at a time
when it will serve the best interest of
all concerned, since the call in last
week's Houston Informer and other
Negro papers of the state, a letter
written by Dr. E. Arlington Wilson
addressed to me at Ft. Worth has
been forwarded to me here. I imme-
diately conferred with Drs. A. V.
Pryor, M. K. Curry and other lead-
ers and we agreed that the date of
the joint commission will be Wednes-
day and Thursday, April 26 and 27, .
with the Second Street Baptist 1
Church, Waco, Rev. E. J. Johnson, •
pastor. 1
I hope this will in no wise lessen
the interest of the Baptists in the
unity cause, nor cause you to doubt
the sincerity or earnestness in the
leaders of this great movement. Our
agreeing to postpone the meeting is
based largely upon the suggestion
of Dr. E. Arlington Wilson, president
of the B. M. and E. Convention.
I am sure the leaders in all of our
conventions will agree with me when
I say, let us do all we can for the
convenience of all concerned.
The letter received from Dr. E.
Arlington Wilson, reads as follows:
“Since writing you, I have been in
touch with several of my leaders and
find that special meetings will be in
session until middle of ApriL I am
of the opinion that the date should be
extended until the last of ApriL At
that time we are sure of settled
weather and better condition than
now. ‘ In the meantime, I will have
an opportunity to hold my state board
meeting and have things more har-
monious which will insure quicker na-
tion. I am convinced that more time
will not hurt any of us, but make us
more steadfast and secure.
“As I wrote you I was afraid of
that date since so many of our dis-
tricts are in their quarterly meet-
ings.”
INDIANA HOUSES
PASS LABOR BILL
FAVORING RACE
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—For the
first time in any state, a bill has
passed both houses of the Indiana
legislature which prohibits contrac-
tors doing state jobs from discrimi-
nating against employes because of
race or color.
The bill, known as house bill 391,
sponsored by Representative Henry
J. Richardson and six others, is now
awaiting the signature of Governor
Paul V. McNutt.
Representative Richardson drew
the bill on the model of one sent him
in January by the national office of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People. He
fought for it almost single-handed.
The N. A. A. C. P. has been carry-
ing on a nation-wide campaign to
banish discrimination against Negro
workmen, especially on federal, state
and municipal projects and threw the
weight of its Indiana branches and
the national office behind the Indiana
bill.
In a conference this week the state
HEARNE.—The funeral of Rev.
W. L. Dixon, superintendent of Gil-
mer Orphan Home, was held at St.
Emanuel Baptist Church Thursday.
Pall Bearers were composed of minis-
ters of the gospel. Rev. B. M. Moss,
pastor, introduced Rev. R. B. Bradley,
who acted as master of ceremonies.
The following program was render-
ed: Song, St. Emanuel choir; acrip-
ture reading, Rev. Crockett of Bryan;
song, choir; prayer, Rev. Davis; res-
olutions from St. Emanuel Church by
Mrs. M. A. Kimbrough; solo, Miss
Whiting of Dallas; resolutions from
Dixon Orphan Home read by Rev. J.
T. Harris; song by choir; short talk
by Mrs. A. Scott, president of 0. L.
M. Women’s Convention; telegrams
and letters read by Rev. H. R. John-
son; solo, Mr. Osborne of Bryan; bi-
ography by Rev. C. C. Reed, Bryan;
short talk by Mrs. L. M. Hughes, C.
G. M. N. G. of Cameron. A short,
but very enthusiastic talk was made
by Grand Secretary A. W. Jackson
of the Odd Fellows. Mrs. Smith,
who was associated with Rev. Dixon
in the orphan home, made a very
commendable talk on Rev. Dixon as a
co-worker knew him.
Rev. U. S. Keeling, Sr., of Beau-
mont, delivered the funeral oration,
taking for his text, Luke 22:12, sub-
ject, “Nevertheless, Not My Will, but
Thine Be Done." Many out of town
visitors were present.

PROF. JAS. D. RYAN
AGED MAN FALLS
DEAD ON S
IN THIRD WARD
NEW YORK CITY.—T. Arnold
Hill, director of the department of
industrial relations of the National
Urban League, is on his way back to
New York after a trip of 5,000 miles
throughout the South and Southwest
for the purpose of studying at first
hand the conditions of Negro unem-
ployment and relief.
In a statement issued to the press
just before leaving Minneapolis for
New York, Mr. Hill said:
“No city in the South appeared on
the upgrade. All individuals with
whom I conferred thought con-
ditions were growing worse. This is
probably true in the South to an ex-
tent it is not true in the North, for
the reason that the South did not be-
gin to feel unemployment as quickly
as did the North. When relief com-
mittees were dispensing food and
jobs in Chicago, New York and De-
troit, most of the Southern communi-
ties had not experienced unemploy-
ment sufficiently to make such meas-
ures necessary. Practically every
agency in the South is increasing its
case load daily, and in no place is re.
lief adequate.

everyone is asked to be present at
that time. As the mandh is played

cor. He has launched a 10-day soul
saving meeting and has secured the
screws of Dr. S. R. Prince, president
of the General Baptist Convention of
Texas, to conduct this series of meet-
-ngs. Dr. Pi tore is an orator, pulpi-
teer, a logical and convincing reason-
ex and possessed of these many qua-

LITERARY SOCIETY TO USE
Tories FROM INFORNEE
FOR WEEKLY DISCUSSIONS
DeKALB.—At a meeting of the D-
every society of Tire Wime Baptist
Church, it was decided that at each
the chib seresne toffs fram We
Houston Informer would be torose*.
The members are wary emtiilusiastie
over the new program.
The revival is meeting with success
from many angles. The meetings are
spiritually high, the pastor, officers
and members are highly elated and
perfectly satisfied with the results of
the meeting-
Those are the characteristics of
Rev. Brent, to do big things in a big
way and he seems to use a deal of
precaution to selecting the time and
speaker for these meetings. Rev.
Brent is a young man of vision and
aspiration with an enviable record,
which makes him worthy of emula-
tion.
Stinson worked as an extra man at
Brooks Mays Piano Company on Main
street. He appeared at the music
house about 9 o’clock and asked if
there was any work for him that day.
Being told that there was not, he left,
apparently beginning to walk home.
Nothing was heard from him until a
little over three hours later when
pedestrains saw a man stagger and
then fall. Before they could reach
him, he was dead.

Mr. Hill visited the following cities:
Birmingham, Alabama; Atlanta, Ma-
con, Georgia; Jacksonville, Palm
Beach, Miama, St. Petersburgh, Tam-
pa and Tallahasee, Florida; New
Orleans, Louisiana; Houston, Galves-
ton, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth,
Dallas and Marshall, Texas; Little
Rock, Arkansas; St. Louis, Missouri;
Minneapolis, Minnesota; Indianapolis,
Indiana, and Chicago, Illinois. He
spoke at the following institutions:
Wiley College, Bishop College, and
Prairie View State College, Texas;
New Orleans University, Xavier Uni-
versity and Straight College, New Or-
leans; Talladega College in Alabama,
and Florida A. and M. College, Ed-
ward Watera College, Florida Normal
and Collegiate Institute and Bethune.
Cookman College.
During the trip throughout the
South, Mr. Hill was accompanied by
Jesse 0. Thomas. Southern field di-
rector of the National Urban League,
who was able to acquaint Mr. Hill
with conditions as they actually are in
nearly every city in the South.
When asked about the future rela-
tionships between Negroes and whites
in the South, Mr. Hill said:
“Although there are a number of
fair-minded white people in the South,
public opinion has not yet been arous-
ed to the point where Negroes re-
ceive anything like adequate treat-
ment either in employment or in re-
lief. The Negro is being merciless-
ly crushed by the very force of the
economic disaster coupled with his in-
ferior status throughout the South.
Only an aroused public opinion, na-
tion-wide in its scope, can effect a
change in the conditions which exist
at the present time. I feel that the
liberal white people of the South
should have the moral support of lib-
eral white and colored people every-
where; and unless they secure it, their
efforts will not be of much avail."
Mr. Hill attended the National
Convention of the National Vocation-
al Guidance Association in Minneapo-
lis, and urged the inclusion of Ne-
groes in the vocational guidance
movement and program of America.
LOCAL COMPANY
ROBBED BY LONE
NEGRO BANDIT
WHARTON.—The loot purloined
from the store of Jackson Edwards
last week was found by detectives,
who for their cunningness in detect-
ing its peculiar hiding place deserve
to be put on a pinnacle with Sherlock
Holmes. The sacks of flour, each en-
cased in a pillow slip were covered by
a spread and fashioned into the most ____________________-

In fact, the detectives state that
their suspicion was first aroused by
the very fascinating appearance of
the beds with their “staff of life” pil-
lows.
The Part City Ice Co., 2715 McKin-

attorney general gave his informal
opinion that the bill was unconstitu-
tional. His objections were taken up
one by one by Nathan R. Margold,
eminent New York attorney, who
stated the bill was surely constitu-
tional and that the quickest method
of determining its legality would be
to have the governor sign it and then
bring a test case under it. Mr. Mar-
gold, whose opinion was sought by the
N. A. A. C. P., stated that the bill
did not give the state the right to .......... .. ,, ., .......

Antioch Forum Will
Meet Sunday P. M
Antioch Open Forum, George W.
Kemp, president, will hold its regu-
lar monthly session at 4 p. m. Sun-
day, March 19, at Antioch Baptist
Church. The speaker for this occa-
sion will be the eminent and scholar-
ly pastor. Dr. Thomas J. Goodall, who
will use for his subject, “Recovering
the Lost Principles of Christianity.’*
This unique organization which is
being sponsored by the junior deacons
of Antioch, is filling a long-felt want
in our community. Each succeeding
meeting is showing an increased at-
tendance and interest. It is the de-
sire of the leaders of this movement
to be able in the very near future to
bring before the Houston public some
of the nation’s ablest and most promi-
nent speakers.
Miss Virginia Martin, 3207 Cline,
was rushed to Jefferson Davis Hos-1
pital Sunday afternoon suffering
from several knife wounds. Officers
Jones and Henderson later arrested
Charles Lee Swinney at 3209 Cline,
who was designated by eye witness-
es as the woman’s assailant.
Charles and two sharp and wicked
looking dirks are being held in cus-
tody at the police station pending the
outcome of the woman’s wounds. Her
condition is defined as very grave.
HAND CAUGHT IN MILL
I. S. Darby, 811 East 37th, acci-

hand, amputation of the fingers may
be necessary.

AUSTIN.—With Col. L. D. Lyons
as the master of ceremonies, and a
colorful audience present, the follow-
ing program was rendered to honor
the home coming of the Honorable
Charles Culbertson Jenkins of Chica-
go:
"The Negro National Anthem,” by
the audience; invocation, Dr. J. H.
Harrington; female quartet, D. D. and
B. Institute; welcome address, Prof.
W. H. Fuller; solo, Miss Nutall, Til-
lotson College; introduction of speak-
er, Prof. J. D. Martin, D. D. and B..
Institute; superb musical program.
Miss Bledsoe, D. D. and B. Institute,
Mrs. Clara Brown, Samuel Huston
College. The beautiful and enviable
Miss Eva Lyons served as escort.
Mr. Jenkins is at present a practic-
ing lawyer in Chicago and a member
of the Illinois General Assembly and
has been for many years. Though
born and reared and educated in Tex-
as, he has proven himself a worthy
citizen of his adopted state. His very
interesting, eloquent and masterly ad.
dress was filled with emotion as a
result of his reunion with early
friends.
The successful planning of the
above occasion was due, in large part
to the resourceful and congenial Col.
L. D. Lyons, who, it must be said has
always had a warm heart and deep
sympathy for worthy young people
of Austin.
While the colleges, churches and
civic institutions all joined to make
the occasion a grand success, special
mention is made of Miss Mary E.
Branch, president of Tillotson College,
Mrs. Christian, Prof. W. H. Fuller,
Prof. W. H. Passon, Dr. J H Harring-
ton, Prof J. D. Martin of D. D. and
B Institute, Principal C. Moore of
Olive Street School an dothers who
graced the rostrum and administered
to the occasion.
A banquet closed the occasion mak-
ing it a pleasant and most delightful
evening.
The bandit entered the picture by
approaching Hardy and asking if he
had any coconut candy. Hardy re-
plied that he had and went to get it
out of the showcase when the man
stuck the pistol in his side and told
him he didn’t want the candy, but he
did want the money and all of it. He
took all that was in the register and
made his departure by locking all the
witnesses into the ice vault.
The bandit is described as about 6
feet, 165 lbs. In weight, very dark in
complexion. He was wearing for the
occasion a light felt hat, gray, a
leather jacket, dark pants, and he had
a black glove on his right hand. He
has not been apprehended.

have lived in Houston. Many of my
friends tell me they trade at Henke's
because of its 60 years to service, be-
cause of its unvarying fairness to ev-

a confession to make. I knew noth,

that I warn captured almost immedi-

off one race are served. Everybody is
served as his turn comes. Everybody
is invited to make use of the facilities

instance, practically everything on
my luncheon menu was purchased at
Henke’s and you would be surprised
at the low cost. I secured sliced boil-
ed ham at 25c per pound, potato salad
at 15c per pound. The salad I have
arranged on lettuce leaves, which
cost only 8c, and garnished with a
half pint of stuffed olives at 10c. A
small glass of wine jelly at 8c pro.
rides the garnish for the ham. With
this, 1 have hot homemade biscuits,
which I purchased in Henke’s bakery
at 12c a dozen. I purchased my ice
cream there, which by the way, is
made of pure cream, at 25c a quart
and I have the darlingest and tastiest
cup cakes imaginable which cost only

Henke’s solely because of pride in the

While Detectives Thompson and
Clay were riding in their car near the
home of Walter Payne, 2318 Calhoun,
Saturday night, they saw a man
standing on one side of Mr. Payne’s
house, peeping into the window. They
immediately got out of the car and
started running the man, each of the
officers going in a different direction.
After they had run some distance.
Officer Thompson shot in the ground
in an effort to stop the man. The
man replied with a pistol shot, the
bullet from his gun going through
the kitchen door of A. J. Jenkins,
1912 Dowling.
Teachers Hold "me
Meeting In Lufki
LUFKIN.—The East Texas Teach-
ers Association (colored) convened
here March 10 and 11. Among the
outstanding speakers were Supt. I. A,
Coston, Dr. W. R. Davis of Stephen
F. Austin College, Dr. B. R. Smith of
Mary Allen College, State President
, T. W. Pratt of Dallas, and Dr. D. R.
Glass of Texas College.
Officer Clay headed the man off in
the 1900 block on Bastrop and not
knowing that the man had responded
to Officer Thompson’s fire with fire,
he shot at the fleet footed fugitive
thinking the man would stop. The
man again repaid fire with fire, the
bullet from his pistol this time go-
ing through the transom of Madame
Jeffery’s home at 1920 Bastrop, and
falling on the foot of her bed.
Despite all the fireworks, the race
was to the swift and the man escaped.
However, several persons have fur-
nished descriptions and police are
looking for him.

sented by the following: Jasper High
