Austin County Teachers'
Scholastic League Draws
Large Crowd At Wallis
MISSIONS ORDER
OF LENT AMONG
CATHOLICSHERE
WALLIS.—Friday was red-letter
day in educational circles; the Inter-
state Scholastic League waa meeting
here. William’s High was crowded so
that there was only standing room,
and there were as many outside as
there were inside. Not only was the
superintendent of schools present but
teachers from the white school were
there and the pupils from their school
(they had let out at the two o’clock
recess so that they could attend).
In no county has there been as
friendly and sincerely sympathetic
visiting from the white teachers and
pupil (white children literally crowd-
ed into a colored meeting). When
the meeting adjourned to the athlet-
ic field, many of the white children
stayed to watch the athletic events.
It is a complment to the intelligence
of the white citizenry of Wallia and
the hospitality of the Negroes that
they could be so at ease in a Negro
gathering. Not one visitor seemed
self-conscious. They had separate
seats but were so courteous, they did
not by look or act indicate to their
hosts that they were aware of the
fact. They followed the program, ap-
plauding freely. Wallis ought to be
proud of its white citizens.
To those who have not seen any
gathering since the old spelling bee,
this meeting was astounding. Indi-
viduals and quartets walked to the
stage and sang without being given
the pitch or any aid. The singing was
good too. One school had a tin band.
The instruments were the 5c little tin
imitations that Kress sells. But they
had an orchestra and made music.
Mrs. Esther Thompson from Prof.
H. Spicer’s school was director of
declamations and very good indeed.
The judges were Prof. A. R. Mills of
Sunnyside, and A. W. Jackson and
Carter Wesley of Houston. There
were other contests in the forenoon
including spelling and arithematic.
Mrs. G. W. Dirks was also very
helpful.
Mrs. Idana Hastings James gave
Prof. J. T. Dean, principal of the
Williams High School, Wallis.
.During this Holy Season of Lent,
Missions seems to be the order of the
day among the local colored Catholics
. Last week the women of St. Nicho-
las Church and their non Catholic
friends jammed that church every
nieht to hear the Mission sermons
by Father Constantine. Fol-
e good example of the wom-
ro have likewise packed the
—---wring this week ae the good
Misisonary has devoted his attention
to their spiritual needs.
Bishop Te Speak Sunday
This two-week Mission will come
to a close Sunday. The closing serv-
ices will begin Sunday morning at the
taw o’clock Mass, at which time Bish-
op C E Byrme of the Galveston dio-
cese will preside, ead will bring a
special message to the large crowd
expected to be present.
At 7:30 Sunday evening Father
Constantime will bring his efforts to
a close when he delivers his final ser-
mon of the Mission. At this service,
as well as the morning service, both
mem and women will be present. Due
to the frank manner in which Father
Constantime has discussed the vexing
problems of life, attacking them in
plain, simple language, aad “straight
from the shoulder,” calling a “spade
a spade,” ae overflow crowd is ex-
pected to hear him in his final ser-

whole has coot the order little more
than the $825 it paid for the car,
which is still in service. At 3c per
mile it would have coot $7200 for
mileage alone. By the most liberal
allowance they have saved the order
another $5,000.
Since fraternal orders were first
organized the district grand master
has received money from every lodge
he visited, but when Grand Master
Ewing took office he immediately
abolished this custom and thus gave
back to the lodges and members $1,-
500 for he has visited over 200 lodges.
In January 1932, the present ad-
ministration began issuing the new
class “S” policy, which had been
worked out as another faucet of econ-
omy and progress. The policy pro-
video loan values, disabilities and
double indemnity. During 1932, they
wrote $70,000 of this type of insur-
ance and at the present nee, they
will far exceed that amount for this

High. Prof. H. Spacer responded. The
speakers of the day were A. W. Jack-
son and Carter Wesley. Prof. A. A.
Anderson was busy greeting old
friends. The program ran through L
night session for which many stayed.
The meeting was organized under
the direction of Prof. J. T. Dean, prin-
cipal of William's High. Not only the
other members of his faculty, Mrs.
F. M. Bell and Mrs. L H. James, help-
ed, but most of the teachers of the
county and the

schools and the chairman of the board

nounced that the district meeting will
be at Bob Burton County Training

Father-Son Banquet
To Be Sponsored By
Local “Y” March 24
The annual city-wide fathers and
sons banquet for the city of Houston,
under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.,
will be held at the Jack Yates High
School cafeteria Friday, March 24, at
7:30 p. m. Hundreds of fathers and
sons are expected to participate in
the affair: Delegations of fathers and
sons are expected to participate in
the affair. .Delegations fathers,
and sons are coming from the three
high and thirteen elementary schools.
Great interested is being manifested
in the occasion by the boys and fath-
The Honorable Jas. T. Ewing,
grand master of the Odd Fellows, in
an interview with an Informer report-
er explained how the Odd Fellows had
succeeded in strengthening its posi-
tion while many fraternal orders were
being wiped out by the devastating
hand of depression. He said the of-
ficials frankly faced the situation and
inaugurated a rigid program of econ-
omy.
He said as charity should begin at
home, so should economy; and the
first thing they did was to cut off
$10,000 which had been appropriated
to maintain the District Lodge and
District Grand Household depart-
ments. They also cut operating ex-
penses of the temple from $1,000 to
$600 per month and thus saved an-
other $4,800 annually.
Looking ahead, at the grand lodge
session in 1931, Mr. Ewing decided
that every unnecessary expense
should be cut in order to save money
to the members who were depending
upon the officers for leadership in
the depression. He fought for and
forced the adoption of the ploicy of
holding the grand lodge session every
two years instead of annually. Though
there was opposition on the part of
some, he succeeded and persuaded the
retiring grand master to recommend
it. Thus another #15,000 was saved
to the order and its membership.
Prior to the advent of Grand Mas-
ter Ewing the order had employed 4
organizers, whom it paid $8,000, al-
though the reports showed there was
a net loss in members during the last---------==—
year they were employed. The new made a careful study of this pr
’ administration not only cut off the J * *‘ 1 * 4 -
workers and saved another $8,000, but
the grand master, the district most
noble governor, the endowment secre-
, tary, and the grand secretary, with-
out a penny additional pay, took over
this work. They have in these hard
times added 1500 new members. Since
October 1931, they have travelled 60,-
000 miles in the company car and
practically covered the state. The
year.
Through a very rigid policy of in-
vestigation of death claims and rec-
ords of lodges and households, the
endowment department, under the
very able and efficient management
of J. W. Rice, endowment secretary,
and F. M. Johnson, assistant endow,
ment secretary, saved, last year alone,
approximately $18,000 that the order
would have paid out had not these
men done more than their mere duty
and worked unceasingly on detail!
There had been an appalling loss
through poor records in the lodges
and households. The officers first
and when they had the data in hand,
they boldly set about to correct it.
They have provided a uniform system
of bookkeeping for all local lodges
and households. The saving to be ef-
fected thereby will probably be $25,
000.
In accordance with this policy and
its determination to improve the or-
(See ODD FELLOWS, Page 4)
Answering a call to 1206 Hill street,
about 5 o’clock Wednesday morning,
local officers came upon the most
grewsome find in years. Mrs. Rosa
Bell, 39, lay face upward on her bed-
room floor in a pool of blood. She
was clothed only in a thin blood soak-
ed nightgown. On a truk nearby was
a keen edged razor covered with blood.
The woman’s throat had been cut
from ear to ear.
The body was removed and Mrs.
Jetta Gill, Edward Boyd and Robert
McDonald, of the same address, who
were in the house at the time were
called upon for sworn statements by
Justce Ray, who held the inquest. A
verdict of murder was brought in and
charges were filed against Charles
Harris, common-law husband of Mrs.
Bell. Harris later surrendered to the
sheriff’s office.
The witnesses testified that they
heard a noise early in the morning
that sounded like someone falling on
the floor. Upon investigating they
found Mrs. Bell lying on the floor
near the foot of the bed. The next
events were described very vividly
by the witnesses who still showed
signs of the horror they had just wit-
nessed. “We picked her up,” they
said, “The blood gushed from her
throat. Her head dropped back. We
droped her. She did not utter a
sound.” The witnessed said they did
not see anyone in the room when they
investigated, although they reached
the room only a few seconds after
they heard the death thud.
Harris, who is 48 years of age and
a ship channel worker testified that
he had been living with Mrs. Bell for
the past 5 years. He stated that on
the morning of the killing they be-
gan quarreling very early over Mrs.
Bell’s sister, Rosetta, from Huntsville,
living with them. Harris said he ob-
jected to the sister’s living in his
house because he did not approve of
her conduct and male company in the
home. Mrs. Bell is reported to have
hel dout for her sister’s living there,
saying that she wanted her sister to
have the protection the home afford-
ed from scandal.
Harris said he told Mrs. Bell that
he was going to leave her if her sis-
ter stayed and that he waa attempt
ing to get his clothes from the chif-
forobe when Mrs. Bell jumped out of
bed and rushed at him. He said he
shoved her against the trunk, reached
in the drawer and got the razor and
struck her about the neck. He stated
that she was attempting to keep him
from getting his clothes and leaving
and he thought she was going after
the pistol. He said she did not have
any weapon about her when she was
killed.
MEAN BURGLARS SLAP MAN
AFTER TAKING EVERY CENT
Not satisfied with taking every
cent that Earl Collins, 602 Drew, had
on him, three burglars who stopped
him in the 2200 block on Elgin, slap-
ped him after taking hia earthly
goods and ordered him to let them see
him run. Needless to say, he com-
plied. The men were driving a large
black sedan. A .32 automatic pistol
was included in their equipment

PREFERS RABBITS
TO NOISY DUCKS
A burglar who entered the rabbit
yard of F. A. Grundy, 2»19 Brewster,
broke into the house occupied by Mr.
Grundy’s rabbits and ducks Friday
night. Evidently, he was partial to
rabbits, for s check up showed that
he got away with 30 rabbits of dif-
ferent sizes and colors, but kidnapped
only one duck. The rabbits stolen in-
cluded chin-chilla gray, chin-chilla
black, chin-chilla white, and chi-chil-
la brown. The duck was a drake and
weighed 12 pounds.

TRUSTEES
TO OPEN DILLARD
“U” INFALL OF’34
NEW ORLEAN, La—The Dillard
University trustees at their recent
meeting decided definitely to open the
university on its new site in the fall
of 1934. The detailed plans and
submitted by Moise Goldstein, local
architect, were approved comprising
the library and academic buildings,
mens’ dormitory, women’s dormitory,
grandstand, refectory and social hall,
the faculty homes as well as plans for
the landscaping and embellishment of
grounds.
Probably the most interesting item
of the program was the report of
Flint Goodridge Hospital by Superin-
tendent Dent. The reports submitted
to the board showed that notwith-
standing the extraordinary conditions
witch have prevailed since the opening
of the hospital it has already played
an important part in the health pro-
gram in the city of New Orleans as
well as in the training ef colored
nurses and doctors who previously had
no adequate clinical opportunities af-
forded them in the city. The hospi-
tnl is on the fully approved list of the
American College of Surgeons
United States. In South Africa the
natives are herded into reservations
and limited to the poorest land. If
diamonds or precious metals are found
on their land they must get out with-
out being paid any damages; they arc
simply transferred to other land and
the government takes their riches.
Fourteen per cent of the land is oc-
cupied by 5,200,000 natives, while 68
per cent of the land is in the hands
of only 1,700,000 whites. The raciaal
feeling is bitter, so bitter that Mr.
Yergan’s interracial student confer-
ence last year was severely criticized
by the government. Despite great
handicaps he has carried forward a
great work in South Africa.

HEALTH WEEK TO
BE OBSERVED IN
CITY APRIL 2-9
AUSTIN.—Through the coopera-

terracial Cooperation, the Texas Tu-
berculosis Association anounces that
3 silver cups will be awarded for ex-
cellence on the Negro Health Week,
April 2 to 9, achievement for the year
1933. The Negro health service of
this association in Texas is under the
leadership of F. Rivers Barnwell.
The first prize will be awarded to
a city of large Negro population, the
second to a city of smaller size and
the third to a rural community.
In order to merit these awards,
Health Week activities must include
practical observance of the several
health day suggestions announced in
the official Health Week program re-
leased by the Texas Tuberculosis As-
socation. This program contains a

shooting of George Bryant at the
corner of Gray and Dowling streets,
early in January and meted out to
him a five year suspended sentence.
Thompson pleaded self-defense.
The dead man was formerly em-
ployed at the Double Dip Ice Cream
Store at Dowling and Pierce. At the
time of the killing, it was alleged that
Bryant was a stool pigeon and the fa-
tal argument started when Thompson
accused Bryant of leading police to
Thompson’s place, which was raided
the week before.
GIRL, 19, CLAIMS
UNKNOWN MAN
ATTACKED HER
Lee Somerville, 21, was stabbed
at 1413 Mason street, about 1:30 Sun-
day morning, March 12, by his broth-
er, Madison Somerville. He died al-
most instantly.
An examination of the body reveal-
ed that Lee Somerville had been
stabbed one time in the center of the
breast. Officers stated that it waa
clear that the body which waa found
lying on its back in a back bedroom,
where the fatal stabbing occurred, had
not been tampered with after the
killing.
Eye witnesses told the jury at the
examining trial that both Lee Som-
merville and his brother bed come
home about 1 o’clock aad had been
drinking. They went in the kitchen
and began eating some barbecue. The
witnesses said an argument arose sad

es field in Judge Overstreet’s court.
Madison Somerville came to police
headquarters the next day (about 8:30
Tuesday morning) and surrendered.
He admitted that he killed his brother
but said that he used an ice pick. Con-
trary to the testimony of witnesses,
he alleged that Lee drew a knife on
him first. Practically, none of Madi-
son’s testimony has been coroborated
by witnesses ss yet.
Officers are looking for a man who
raped a 19-year-old girl Wednesday
night about 10 o'clock, as she was
coming home alone from work.
The girl testified that she was
walking toward her home on Cleve-
land street, when a man accosted her
near Ruthven on Crosby, and asked
her what street they were on. She told
him the street and he pulled a long,
steel plated pistol on her asking her
