EXPLAINS PL AN
TO BUILD HALL
coIored Attorney Suggests Ways and
Means for Building New Odd
Fellows Hall Here.

At the Pilgrim Rest Baptist church
last night, the plan for the building
OF the new colored fraternal hall at
Thirteenth and Main streets in this
city was thoroughly explained by
George II. Woodson, the colored at
torney of the Grand United Order of
Odd Fellows who is in the city. A
large audience was present and at
the end of the subscriptions that
were signed at this meeting, Mr..
Woodson announced that his list had
reached fifty names and that the pre-
liminary plans would be started as
soon as the first one hundred names
were secured. He expects to have
more than that number by Septem-
Der l, and he expects to return to
the city about that time to get out
the specifications, blue prints and
make formal arrangements for the
contract and bids for the work.
Mr.. Woodson explained the sub
scribers' contract, his letter of advice
to the Keokuk National bank, where
all the money must be paid in. He
also carefully explained his circular
letter which was mailed last week to
seven hundred colored citizens of
Keokuk. Mr.. Woodson said:
Respectable public entertainment
and public accommodation is abso-
lutely necessary to the life and pro-
gress of any people and the best and
most effective way for US to break
down the blasting American discrimi-
nation that seeks to bar US from such
places among our friends IS to begin
to organize our money and establish
such places for ourselves. When we
can show the capacity to buy from
ourselves, sell to ourselves, trade
with ourselves in such way as to
conserve the billions of dollars that
the twelve million Of colored citi-
zens of this country spend every ten
years for the necessaries and luxuries
of life, and as soon as we can give
assurance Of our ability to control
only a reasonable part of our own
organized capital, we will have finan-
cial power enough to relieve us from
many embarrassments which now
confront us and our children in mat
tiers Of humble employment as well
as higher social, financial and bust
ness advancement. A million Of dol
lars will hide, If it does not remove
q great many objections in the bust
ness American world even, where our
white friends meet. And many of
them have been willing and are still
anxious and willing to help us rise to
higher and better things.
Il have positive and reliable assur-
ance that all the money needed for
this proposed structure will be adj
vanced by our white friends here as
soon as one hundred colored men pay
in to the bank their full subscription
for as much as one share of stock
each. Now, II there are not as many
as one hundred colored people in
Keokuk interested in paying as much
as one dollar week for such pay
ing enterprise so necessary to the
public needs of the race here at this
time, then what right have we to ex-
pect any consideration from our
white friends here in this particular
maHter?"
Mr.. Woodson will address mass
meeting at Bethel church, Seventh
and Morgan street, tonight.
