Anaconda, Mont
| am pleased to state that the stu.
alton of the electrical workers at the
smelters has taken on a different set
tlement than was expected 1t seems
now that the crisis is over, at least
we all hope so. The electrical work
ers struck and walked out, leaving
their places to be filled by inexperi-
enced men, to crafty their selfish de-
sires. They want the jurisdiction
over twentyfour crane men, who have
been governed and controlled for the
past ten years by the Mill and Smell
ter Mems Union. This is a disagree
ment between two unions; the com
Pany is not involved, but Mr. Kelly
made it plain to all concerned that he
would not jeopardise the destiny OF
10000 men and their families for the
wish of "a hardboils. And if they did
not care to pay their dues into the
Mill and Smelter Mems Union they
could get their time.

sympathy and coincidence of all his

AUTOMOBILE
TRAINING SCHOOL
FOR NEGROES

The A. A. A. Training School will
this school will be teaching the auto.
mobile and traction engine business to
the young men of the Negro race by
giving them instructions and practice
on real automobiles and traction en-
gines. The motor industry is becom-
ing so great that young men must pre-
pare to meet the demand. Competent
mechanics are in great demand at
good salaries. We will use no books
you wear overalls and use tools. Upon
investigation we found that none of
the various training schools through
out the country will accept Negroes
as students and for this reason we are
establishing this school for Negro stu
dents. The opening of our 1917 class
will be stated in the next issue of this
paper. This school will be equipped
with all the modern and up-to-date
equipment. A thorough course of
Oxy-Acetylene Welding, Brazing and
Vulcanizing will be taught by experts
along these lines. In this school will
be found all the various types of mo-
tor cars ranging from the twelve-cyl.
inder down to the four. When a stu
dent finishes this school he will be
capable of working on any car. We
will also give special courses in driv-
ing to young men and women. For
further information regarding schol.
arship terms, etc, write the A. A. A.
Training School, 1910 L. 18th Street.
The following men are interested in
the promotion of this enterprise;

Refused Negro
Check; Angry

Carlisle, Palate last Saturday
afternoon John Humbert appeared at
the cashiers window in the Farmers
Trust company bank and asked to
have fifty thousand dollar check
cashed. Upon the cashiers refusal
Humbert became angry because he
fancied the cashier would have been
more obliging had a white man made
similar request. And in order to
emphasize his displeasure Humbert
pulled revolver and began shooting
at the cashier. None of the shots re.
suited fatally, but the angry man was
soon placed under arrest.

result of intimidation on the part of
some of the contestants.
Contestants lntmidate Heirs.
1t appeared that the woman, the
chief beneficiary of the will, had be.
come so intimidated by the testators
brother, and was in such fear of him
that she became the chief witness
against the will and gave false testi.
mony against her own interest. The
court stated that the executor. Paul
Barnett, who was the closest friend
of the testator, had been threatened
with an unjust criminal prosecution
and induced to agree to a compromise,
which was afterwards overthrown.
The court found that the testator
had recited in the will that he felt it
to be his moral obligation to leave his
estate to the woman with whom he
had lived and to, their children, and
that it was his strong desire that none
of the property should go to the Jen
nings family. The court stated that
the only decent thing the testator ap-
pedIeu W nave uOue Ill MS Hletllne
was to provide for his children by
his will and that it would have been
a pity if this action had been set aside.

The Jennings will was prepared by
Paul Evans, former attorney OF
Memphis. Evans refused to testify
to his signature as witness to the
will when it was probated because he
had not been paid fee of $1,000
which he claimed to be due him from
the estate, and was committed to Jail
for short period for contempt be-
fore his consent to testify was pro-

President Allen, in an impassioned
address, paid a glowing tribute to the
Great Emancipator." In language no
less forceful, Dr. Allen set forth the
responsibility that rests upon the
Afro-American of today. He must
cherish only those ideals which are
pure and lofty, and seek to bring 9th
ers to the heights in intelligence and
character, and to elevate their social
and economic standing.
The Damascus triumphal march was
splendidly interpreted by both the or
chestra and chorus. In fact each num-
Der on the program deserves commen-
dation.
Several members of the legislature
were present; and at request Miss
Overstreet sang 81 Hear You Calling
Me-" and Miss H. Johnson, teacher of
the violin, played Deep River" by S.
Coleridge Taylor. Both teachers are
artists.
1t was an evening that ministered
to the best, and the large appreci-
ative audience showed how highly
these entertainments are valued by
the student body and the citizens of
jefferson City.
