On Thursday of last week Henry
Binford, while riding uptown, had a
little alteration with a street car con-
ductor about the fare. When he went
downtown he caught the same con-
ductor, who called policeman and
had Binford arrested, charging him
with threatening to cut him with a
razor. The case was called before
Judge Finehout Monday and Binford
was dismissed. Judge Finehout stat
ed that policemen have no legal right
to arrest anyone without warrant
for offenses not felonious unless they
see the offense committed. The case
was one in which color prejudice was
the cause of the trouble. Binford did
not refuse to pay his fare and he did
not have razor. H..

The Odd Fellows Reception.

The largest and SWEETEST social
function of the year was the compli-
mentary reception given by Mars
and st. Paul Patriarchy, ia, in honor
Bowlby hall last Tuesday night. The
hall was very beautifully decorated
with red, white and blue bunting,
palms and ferns, for the occasion.
Over three hundred person were pres.
ent, mostly in full dress, and the scene
was Kaleidoscope in the extreme, and
beautiful to behold. Mr. F. D. Parker
was master of ceremonies, and, after
a short speech, introduced Mayor Her.
bert P. Keller, who made the welcome
address encouched in splendid terms
of laudations of fraternal orders and
the good they are doing generally, and
he did not inject one word of politics
into his pertinent and pleasing re-
marks. He was responded to by
Chief Justice B. J. Davis on behalf OF
the court His remarks were quite
complimentary to the people of St
Paul and were pleasing throughout
even when he showed his loyalty to
his "home town." Atlanta, so emphat
ically. Both speakers were roundly
applauded After the two addresses
the floor was given ,ver to terpsi
chorean advertisements to the pleasing
strains of the Hilyard orchestra. So
los were sung by Mesdames Addie G.
Minor and Matte Campbell. The re
ceiving line was composed of promi
nent ladies of the Household of Ruth
and most delightful refreshments were
served in abundance in the supper
room by ladies of the Household. The
members of the Supreme Court pres
ent were: Chief Justice B. j. Davis
Associate Justices w. L. Houston and
w. R. Morris and Clerk and Recorder
w. T. Francis. The ladies' gowns
were things of beauty and a. JOY for
ever, and the gentlemen were gener
ally in evening clothes. Taken as 9
whole, the affair will go down in his
tory as the largest, grandest and
SWEETEST social function Of it's kind
ever given by any fraternal organiza
ton in the city's history. Mr.. Charles
Miller was chairman of the entertain
ment committee, and the success d
the affair is due in no small measure
to the efforts Of his committee.

AMERICAN NECESSITIES,

DR.. r. Fl. Boyd, who has been on a
trip to Panama and the Canal Zone,
relates an incident which shows that
carrying American civilization around
the world the Caucasian American
has three things which he always car
ries with him-religion, strong drink
and race prejudice "Stepping back
to the depot, we met one sight that
seemed to be familiar in the Southern
states, and that was four plainlyWrit-
ten signs put up in large gold letters
as follows: For white men, for white
women only. For colored men, for
colored women only Here we
stopped and wondered. Getting in
conversation with an old gentleman
standing by the side of the depot, we
asked him how long he had lived in
Colon; he said forty years. We asked
him the meaning of the sign; he asked
us where we were from, and we told
him from the States. 'Ah!' said he
& you ought not to be stranger to this
sign. Did you not know he said
that the American Caucasians are
very religious and wherever they &C
they carry Protestant religion, whis
key and beer, and race prejudice
These three things must always fol
low the American Caucasian, and HI
plants them in whatever land he en-
tiers. Protestant religion, strong
drink and race prejudice are the three
things that the American white maj
must have'" .- .-N. .-

 CUNNINGHAM'S PARTY

Coming just at the time when grown ups are most quiet socially, little play time parties arranged for the children seem especially gay. There is probably ten times more genuine enjoyment at one of these juvenile hospitalities than one would find at their seniors own stately functions; so the hostess finds her great est pleasure in preparing for the appre- citation and applause of the most youth ful guests.
 Yesterday Miss Mary Allen Cunningham entertained a company of her small friends with a party celebrating her twelfth birthday. White clematis made
 decorative motive cool and feathery
 In the dining room where the party met
 to cut the big birthday cake there were
 pink roses and lights shaded in the rose color-all very girlish and attractive. The big cake stood in the center of the table encircled with rosebuds. The bonbons
 and ices were in keeping with the pink of the blossoms and the twelve tapers which counted her years.
 The hostess, in her white lace lingerie froclx over pink was q gracious little lady. Her sisters, Miss Louise Cunning ham and Miss Susie Cunningham assisted her in entertaining her guests, who in- cluded Misses Marjorie Nesmith, Gladys Webb Mary Elizabeth Caldwell. Susie
