RUTH CARPER AND WENDELL
CREWS VICTIMS OF AUTOMO-
BILE ACCIDENT AT GOLDEN

Ruth, the beloved daughter of Mrs.
Kate Carper of 2705 Downing Avenue
met an untimely death when she was
drowned in the river at Golden last
Wednesday evening on returning to
Denver the result of an automobile
accident, while Wendell Crews. one
of the party according to physicians
has no chance of recovery. 1t is said
that another machine attempted to
cross them ON the road to Denver and
the chauffeur in endeavoring to get
out of the way got too near the edge
when the car skidded and turned over
in the ditch below. UP to the time OF
going to press the girls body has not
been recovered. Miss Carper was
delightful member of the younger set
and was very popular in social circles
being generally well liked. Young
Crews is also popular and will be
very much missed in the community
if he succumbs to his injuries. THE
COLORADO STATESMAN extends
it's deepest sympathy to Mrs. Kate
Carper, mother of the deceased and
the grandmother, also to the relatives
of Mr. Crews.

PIONEER A. M. e. PREACHER LAID
TO REST AFTER MANY YEARS
OF FAITHFUL SERVICE.

REV. j. P. WATSON, for more than
forty years in the service of his Mas
ter as a preacher of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, and for
the past twenty years in the Colorado
Conference, passed into the GREAT
BEYOND last week and was laid to
rest on Monday last at Pueblo where
large number of his former clerical
colleagues, friends and acquaintances
paid their last respects in witnessing
the ceremony that reminds us so WV
idly of the inevitable-"Dust thou art
and unto dust shall thou return" He
was classified among the religious
pioneers and adventurers of the West
and was generally known as a splen-
did Christian gentleman. The de-
ceased is survived by widow, Mrs.
Dorcas Watson, a former president
of the Colorado State Federation of
Woman's Clubs, and a son and daugh-
ter. Quite a number of ministers
from Denver and Pueblo took part in
the funeral ceremonies, which were
held from st. Paul's M. e. Church,
Pueblo. A telegram conveying con-
dolence was received from Bishop
Parks of the Conference. The floral
offerings were numerous and beautf-
full and SO was brought to close a
life that was well lived, insuring the
promised reward. The Colorado
Statesman offers it's heartfelt sym
rathy to the church, the widow and
children over their irreparable loss.

Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

Under a new system recently adopt
ed a thorough record and more sys-
tematic check is kept upon the boys
attending the building. BY this new
system every boy is required to reg
lister Immediately upau entering the
building. The registration includes
time of arrival, working, and where,
hour of reporting for work, and the
hour of leaving the building. This
also acts as a protection to the boy
and an aid to the home. 1t also as
sists in keeping a record of the boys
conduct while at the building.
The attendance at the meeting
Sunday afternoon was made up al
most wholly of the very young men.
They were fully repaid for coming,
because the address of the Rev. DR..
Dudley, pastor of the East Side Chris
tian Church, was one of great inspir-
alton and help. He took as his sub
ject, Saved by Christ" He told the
young men that in spite of their Pc
culiar problem, it was clear beyond
doubt that God had saved them for
purpose; their first purpose, he said,
was to serve themselves-the race.
The meeting was remarkable in
that the young men held an after
meeting and organized themselves in
to a club to keep the meetings going
all summer, instead of closing with
next Sundays meeting, as had been
planned. The young men themselves
will manage the programs beginning
with July 14th. This action will no
doubt infuse new life into the meet
ings.
A great public meeting of the ~
will be held next Sunday afternoon
at the Zion Baptist Church at $3.50
O'Clock. The address will be deliver
ed by the Rev. DR.. Robert B. H. Bell,
rector of ST. Thomas Episcopal
Church DIR. Bell is regarded as one
of the most eloquent preachers in
Denver. and is great friend of the
race Everybody is invited.
Next Sunday evening the Glee Club
will render a program at Campbell A.
M. f. Church. And on July Fourth
the annual outing of the Y. M. and
Y. w. c. A. will be held at the Rocky
Mountain Lake park.
