GRAND MASTER DAVIS WINS AGAI
Drive For Bishop College
Making Steady Progress
After Alumni Head’s Trip
Marshall, Texas.—Following close
on the heels of the 12-day tour of Tex-
as cities by Dr. 0. W. Phillips, presi-
dent of the Bishop College Alumni
Association, in company with Presi-
dent J. J. Rhodes of the college, it is
announced that interest in the special
$10,000 fund that is being raised for
Bishop College continues to grow as
the date of the semi-centennial cele-
bration approaches. It is reported that
graduates, former students, and
friends of the college in all parts of
the country, as well as in Texas, are
forwarding donations in increasing
numbers, and giving other expressions
of their devotion to the institution
that has served so worthily during the
past 50 years.
Chicago Bishop Club Gives Shipment
of Books
The Bishop College Club of Chicago,
has forwarded a large shipment of
books to the college, a special list
having been furnished for the purpose
by President Joseph J. Rhoads on
recommendation of a committee of the
college faculty. The books are ap-
propriately marked on the outside
cover with the inscription: “Present-
ed by the Chicago Bishop College
Club, 1981.” The inscription was
printed on the cover by the publishers
in gold letters, and makes a very at-
tractive appearance.
Attorney Chas. J. Jenkins, class of
1919, and member of the house of
representatives of the state of Illinois,
handled the order for the club, and
made a substantial donation from the
first check received by him from the
Illinios legislature.
The Bishop College Club of Wichi-
ta Falls, Texas, has also made a very
nice cash report; and the members of
other clubs all over Texas are busy
making collections and aiding the
semi-centennial movement in other
PIERSON SUSPECT
ARRESTED AGAIN
Indianapolis, Ind.—(ANP)—Geo.
Washington, indicted more than a
year ago for the murder of Edward
D. Pierson, Chicago, found himself
again in the toils of the law when
he was arrested in connection with
an attempt to rob a drug store here
Tuesday night.
When searched at the station
house, Washington’s pockets were
found stuffed with clippings con-
cerning his arrest in connection
with the murder of the late auditor

PORTER USES AX
WHEN ATTACKED
BY TRAIN CREW
Utica, N. Y.—(ANP)—Use In
Case of Emergency” read the sign
over an ax on the Pullman car, and
when passengers and train crew at-
tacked him, J. F. Smith, porter on the
New York Central train, decided it
was an emergency, and he followed
the directions. In fact, so effectively
did he use the ax and a ventilator
stick that when the smoke of battle
cleared away eight of his opponents
were stretched out in the cars.
The fight started as the train was
climbing up the Adirondack Mountains
en route to Montreal, and raged for
more than an hour, stopping only
when state troopers boarded the train
at Thenandara and placed Smith un-
der arrest.
Two versions of the cause of the
ways.
Rally Date Extended to May 21
In order to give ample time for all
collectors and the three hundred or
more subscribers to forward their re-
ports and cash to the college, and to
make it possible for hundreds of other
friends, churches, associations, pas-
tors, and others, who are interested
in having a part in the rally but have
not made their donations, the official
date has been extended to May 21. On
that date the full report will be made,
and it is expected that at least 8,000

ments in the history of this great in-

ment.

BANK FAILURE
New York City.—(ANP)—That the
new Mercantile Bank and Trust Com-
pany, formerly “The Chelsea Ex-
change Bank and Trust Company.”
will eventually install an entire color-
ed clerical staff, and that it will pay
off one hundred cents on the dollar
were- the applauded features of the
address of Chas. G. Rapp at the
monthly meeting of the Association
of Trade of Commerce, 2370 Seventh
Avenue, last Friday evening.
Mr. Rapp, formerly a vice president
of the Chelsea Bank, is now a deputy
state banking commissioner in charge
of the Harlem branch reorganisation
and is slated to be manager of the
new Harlem institution.
President Chas. C. Huitt of the
Dunbar National Bank and C. Benja-
min Curley of the Peoples Credit Un-
ion in their fine addresses on “Bank-
ing Conditions in Harlem,” each thrill-
ed giving their keen analyses of Har-
lem conditions.
Mr. Huitt told of the efficiency of
his capable colored staff and as an
evidence of his faith in the Associa-
tion of Trade and Commerce person-
ally paid the membership fee of his
asistant vice president, Robert T.
Braddicks, in the association. Cor-
nelius A. Hughes, clerk of the 10th
District Municipal Court, responded
to Mr. Huitt’s address. John W. Walk-
er made a humorous and effective plea
for support of the association. Pres-
ident Aaron L. MacGhee presented
Editor George W. Harris who acted
as master of ceremony. The associa-
tion passed resolutions pledging its
support if the banks followed a policy
of adding colored help and later direc-
tors to its board.
WOMAN DIES AT 106 YEARS
Camden, Ark.—(ANP)—Camden
lost its oldest citizen here Tuesday
morning when Mrs. Martha Morgan,
reputed to be 106 years old, passed
away at her home. She has been
living here all of her life and was a
former slave.
GEORGIA TELLS
HE KILLED MAN
A DEBATE
119749
Macon, Ga.—(ANP)—After at-
tempting for more than three weeks
to fasten the crime on two Negroes,
DeLois Clements, 19-year-old white
boy, and the son of Telfair County’s
representative-elect in the state legis-
lature, confessed that he alone was
responsible for the killing of L. J.
Clegg, wealthy white citizen of Mc-
Rae, Georgia.
The crime was committed on the
night of April 8, and Clements was
placed under arrest when he went to
the police and told them that he took
part in the killing. His first confes-
sion fastened the actual killing on two
Negroes in McRae and named a prom-
inent white man as the instigator of
the crime. •
He has stuck steadfastly to this
statement despite the denials on the
part of the other three persons named,
who were also arrested. Time and
again he has been called in and ques-
tioned and each time he has told the
same story. 5
Tuesday night he sent for the jail
warden and told him he wanted to tell
the truth about the whole matter. He
then unfolded the story of how on the
night of the killing, he met Clegg, who
is one of his father’s best friends, on
the highway, shot him, and robbed
him of all of his money and his auto-
mobile and returned to the scene of
the murder the following morning and
concealed the body in a clump of bush-
es, where it was discovered a day or
two later.
He concocted Xhe story implicating
others to save "himself, he declared,
feeling that he would receive a short
prison sentence. “The' devil was in
me,” sobbed the boy when asked why
he tried” to implicate the others in
such a serious crime.
NEGRO LAWYER IS
BEATEN BY ANGRY
KENTUCKY MOB
Louisville, Ky.—( ANP )—C. Eu-
banks Tucker, minister and lawyer of
this city, who went to Elizabethtown,
Ky., to defend one of the trio being
tried there for murder, rape and rob-
bery, was badly beaten Tuesday by a
mob. He was finally rescued by sold-
iers who escorted him to the court
house where in spite of his injuries,
he continued to question the jury.
The feeling in Elizabethtown is run-
ning wild, the least incident may kin-
dle a fire. Soldiers from Bowling
Green, sheriffs from Louisville, and
special officers sworn in by the police
force of Elizabethtown are on hand.
Governor Sampson has been appealed
to by the secretary of the Interracial
Commission to send additional sold-
iers. ,
Walter Holmes, 30, Charles Rod-
gers, 3, and Walter Dewberry, 22,
have been acused of murdering Thom-
as Tillery, a Hardin County farmer.
They have also been accused of rape
in two other states. They have been
confined in the Louisville jail since
their arraingment for safe keeping.
The debating teams of Wiley and
Knoxville colleges will stage a foren-
sic clash in the Pilgrim auditorium on
Tuesday evening, May 12, beginning
at 8:30 o’clock. From all indications
of past events of this nature, the citi-
zenry of Houston is to be treated to
an evening of high class entertain-
ment of an intellectual and social
type.
The debaters from the Tennessee
college have been chosen to take part
in a series of clashes with the strong
Wiley team because of the favorable
showing made by the Knoxville repre-
sentatives in debating tilts of recent
dates. They have definitely establish-
ed their claim to the championship in
the Pentagonal League, and more re-
cently staged a wonderful triumph for
any institution of its calibre in win-
ning a decision over the debating team
of Howard University. These state-
ments giving the authentic record of
thinkers and orators from “The Old
Franklin State” should be sufficient
to convince the skeptic that the Tex-
ans are in for a warm opposition.
The Wiley team still holds the in-
tercollegiate championship and recent-
ly were selected to meet the famous
Kappa team of Oklahoma City Uni-
versity (white). Those who witness-
ed the high class program of the Fisk-
Wiley debaters last year are still
commenting on the rare pleasure de-
rived from an evening of social and
intellectual activities. The same rare
pleasure is in store for the host of
friends who enthusiastically awtit
the opportunity this year. After the
debate is over, there will be dancing
to music by an orchestra. There will
be a splendid opportunity afforded all
who patronize the debate to enter into
pleasant socializing as a fitting close
to a delightful evening. So while the
main feature of the evening ■will be
the offering of a program dfwit, elo-
quence, historical facts, and general
culture and inspiration; the entertain-
ment side will be made more com-
nlete by giving over the latter part
to general socializing. Ample provi-
sions are being made to comfortably
seat the large number of friends who
turn out for such debates and other
programs of high cultural value. The
admission for adults is 50 cents, and
for students 35 cents.
PRAIRIE VIEW SENDS TEAM
TO TUSKEGEE FOR MEET
Prairie View College.—The follow-
ing cadets will represent the Prairie
View College at the Tuskegee relays
May 9: Robert Ball, Heulin Smith,
Paul Hinton, Enoch Cochrane, Horace
Dalton, James Dupree, Anthony Hall,
John Roberts and James Thomas.
The group left Prairie View Tues-
day morning and were accom anied by
the following members of the faculty:
Coach S. B. Taylor, Dr. E. B. Evans,
Prof. C. H. Waller and C. W. Lewis
and W. J. Ross. The trip was made
by motor.
On Monday, May 4, at Sherman,
Texas, before the Fifteenth Judicial
District Court of the State of Texas,
W. L. Davis, grand master of the
United Brothers of Friendship and
Sisters of the Mysterious Ten of Tex-
as, won another legal battle from W.
F. Bledsoe, former grand master, who
was defeated for reelection in the
famous Waco meeting, which was held
on May 3, 1980. The hearing was up-
on Grand Master Davis’ plea of privi-
lege, in which the contention Was rais-
ed that the suit against the grand
lodge and Grand Master Davis and
the other grand lodge officers would
have to be tried in the respective
counties where the defendants had
their residence.
This contention was sustained by
the court, and the case will be trans-
ferred to Harris County, as against
the grand lodge and as against W. L.
Davis and C. H. McGruder. This is
the third successive legal tilt that
Grand Master Davis has won against
Bledsoe since Davis took charge as a
result of his election in Waco. The
first was in the suit brought by Bled-
soe in Marshall, Texas; the second
was upon the injunction hearing in
Sherman; and now the third upon this
plea of privilege. Just what will be
the next move of Bledsoe has not yet
been 'determined.
The hearing on the plea of privilege
last Monday was a continuation of
the case from the previous Saturday,
May 18, and on the Saturday hearing
Bledsoe gave some very interesting
testimony. As taken from the type-
written, stenographic report of the
official court reporter who took down
testimony, a part of that testimony is
as follows: 1

as to be called in Waco during the

Q. Do you know who did call it?

DETROIT POPULATION TRIPLES
IN DECADE-6TH NEGRO CITY
Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—De-
spite the slump in the automobile in-
dustry, the colored population of De-
troit, Michigan, took a decided jump
in numbers in the decade from 1920
to 1930, according to the figures just
released by the Census Bureau. The
Negro population of Detroit numbered
40,888 in 1920. The 1930 figure is
120,066, a gain of nearly two hundred
per cent.
The rate of gain is higher than that
for any other large city in the north.
Detroit is now in sixth position, ac-
cording to announcements so far
made, in the Negro population cen-
ters for the country. New York leads
with an estimated 246,000: Chicago is
second with 204,000; Philadelphia is
third with 193,000. Then come Balti-
more, 132,000; Washington, 127,000,
and Detroit, 120,000, New Orleans is
close behind. The figures for St.
Louis have not yet been announced.
MISS VERONA MARIE ROBINSON
* **
It is said that coming events cast
their shadows. This assertion is par-
ticularly true of the approaching wed-
ding of Miss Verona Marie Robinson,
5005 Lyons.
When Rev. and Mrs. H. C. W. Rob-
inson announced the approaching wed-
ding of their daughter, Miss Verona
Marie Robinson, to Fred N. Curl of
Nacogdoches, social circles in this sec-
tion were at once placed in the col-
umns of anxiously awaiting a pleasant
and enjoyable social event.
This is particularly so because of
the popularity of both of the contract-
ing parties. Miss Robinson is well
and favorably known in social circles
of Houston among the younger set,
having graduated from Booker T.
Washington High School. For a while
she was a sales lady at the People’s
Pharmacy, where she made a host of
friends and admirers by her charming
manner of service in that capacity.
Quite a year ago she resigned that po-
sition to accept work with the Harris
Hahlo department store where she
serves as stock girl.
The young man, Mr. Curl, is a trust-
ed employe of the Fannin Automobile
Company, where he has been for a
number of years. The wedding will
be held at St. John Baptist Church
on Dowling, Saturday, May 23, at 9
o’clock p. m.
The young couple will leave on a
honey moon trip that night for San
Antonio and other points in north and
west Texas. The Houston Informer
wishes for these young peiple a hap-
py voyage over the matrimonial sea.

New York City.—(ANP)—Dr. Ju-
lius Klein, assistant secretary of the
United States Department of Com-
merce, in an address before the Har-
lem Business Men’s Club at the Y. M.
C. A., commended the group upon the
growth of business in the district and
the work which the association is do-
ing.
Dr. Klein came here upon the invi-
tation of A. L. Holsey, secretary of
the National Negro Business League
and organizer of the C. M. A. Stores.
Before addressing the group of busi-
ness men, Dr. Klein made a tour of the
district, visiting and inspecting many
of the enterprises owned and operated
by Negroes.
He declared that he was particular-
ly impressed with the development of
the C. M. A. Stores, which he termed
a step forward and urged the mem-
bers of the association to cooperate
with each other in developing the idea
further and to use the service offered
to them by the United States Depart-
ment of Commerce.
