COLORED CITIZENS
ASK BETTER HOMES
Citizens Union Starts Cam
paign to Improve Races
Housing Conditions.

Better housing conditions for color
ed people Of the city. with added op-
portunities for renting and purchas-
Ing, and the adjustment of restricted
districts and segregation of colored
people will be the objects of a winter
campaign of the Citizens Union, for
which palms will be made tonight by
the executive board The board will
meet in the office Of c. r. Richardson,
attorney.
Colored citizens say that almost
every real estate dealer and house
owner refuses to permit them to pur-
chase good homes. and in good sec
tions OF the city, and there exists an
almost ironclad rule against permitting
them to occupy homes in blocks Occu-
pied by white citizens. The latter,
however, can, IL necessary, come into
districts where real estate agents and
owners keep the colored people, they
claim.
Unless this restriction can be re-
moved the colored citizens will direct
their campaign toward better hous-
ing conditions in the districts where
they are permitted to live. They say
that no repairs are made on such
houses as they can buy or rent, and
that new houses or houses in good
condition will not be rented to them.
OBITUARY.
Charles Edward LongleffOW was
born February 26, 1914, and departed
this life August %, 1914, aged six
months and two days. His little life
here was short but full of love and
sweetness. and his sudden departure
has left us so sad and broken-hearted,
but,
We ask the question DER and DER,
Why deaths angel came within our
door;
Took from our home our darling child
Iclp us, o Lord, to be reconciled.
We know he is gone to the home
above,
Where all is peace and joy and love
Nlthough our hearts seem broken in
twain,
We hope to live so as to meet him
again.
