RaiI Fixed at $1,000. 90.

Montgomery was arraigned before
Judge Boerner in st. Paul on Thurs
day morning. Atty. w. r. Morris ap.
peared as counsel. He demanded bail.
which was fixed at 81 900 for investi-
cation by Federal authorities.
Since in this city he has used the
office of Attorney w. r. Morris as
his headquarters. and has been asso-
ciated with Phil F. Hale, Tommy
Zones and Mrs. ]. B. Duckett He
established Twin City Exchange at
511 4th st. So, where he was sup
posed to secure Negro help from the
South and do general up-lift work for
Negroes. The building is pool room
and rooming house. (Rev.) Montgom-
cry was, introduced around when he
began The Advocate by Rev. Beasley
and Phil Hale. He has used the var
ious war agencies, Red Cross, Liberty
Bond and Military organizations as a
medium of Introduction to business
men, whom he solicited for funds for
his "uplift work"
The records of the Civic and Com
merce association. (Which are a part
of the U. 8. government reports on
Negro education,) show his record dur
ing the past ten years, and they are
in the hands of the postal authorities
to prove that he has used the mails
ito further his fraudulent schemes.
Morris His Main Support.
Atty. w. r. Morris, (who figured
conspicuously with the notorious z.
w. Mitchell, of the Loyal Legion of
Labor fame, scheme he has operated
here and in many cities, and exposed
in this months Crisis,) is making a
strenuous, but hopeless, defense for
Montgomery. Despite the former pris-
on records of Montgomery Attorney
Morris has always endorsed him.
AThese white folks turn their pockets
inside out >for VIM. r. Norris" was
a general expression of Montgomery.
The books in his possession show
many contributions from leading busi-
ness men and several widows, who
had contributed to his schools
He represented the Douglas Indus
trial Institute at Roland, Okla. of
which r. d. Hunt is principal. When
arrested Montgomery had on him a
wallet full OF letters Of reference and
a book containing the list OF contri-
buttons ranging from IS to $500. These
we're taken from him and he was pho
tographed After his friends were
notified Phil Hale, as usual, got busy
and tried to intercept the activities
of the police, and the appearance of
interested parties showed their con-
rnection with the papers found on
MONTGOMERY. He claimed to have a
James J. Hill School in Minneapolis,
and wanted to build Memorial chapel

THE NEGRO IN ST. PAUL

When | received the invitation to
address this organization l was beset
by two powerful emotions. and, para
doxical as it may seem, one was of
fear and the other was of joy.
Fear born Of the knowledge that
could not measure up to the stand
ard set by the character and ability
of the other speakers who have ap-
peared upon your programs from time
to time. and joy in the opportunity
that I might have to present to this
body of intelligent, thinking men and
women a. message from my people
that you might the better understand
the hopes, the aims and the ambitions

These places, however, are not all
small and insignificant as the rents
range from $500. to $250.0o per
month, the lowest amount being paid
for shoe shining parlor and the
highest for pantorium. We are al.
so proud of the fact that within the

FOR THE FEDERAL AUTHORITIES

chant in this city. During his stay
here of two years, Montgomery has
roomed in over Is questionable houses.
Recently he has risen to higher
social standing and became prominent
as a booster for all patriotic endeavor,
generally attending to the financial
arrangements.
Editor Smiths Investigation.
Chas. Sumner Smith of the Twin
City Star, presented the information
for the Federal authorities. He check
ed up Montgomery's papers, and
proved the fraudulent use of the mails.
The counties of Hennepin and Ramsey
will be asked to indict him for grand
larceny, charge on which he is also
held.
Despite the many libels against
Smith which have continually ap-
peared in The Advocate, his action
was based solely on the evidence in
the possession Of Montgomery, when
arrested. He never gave any infor-
nation to have him searched to find
cause for action, or brought any
legal action against him. Montgomery
was assaulted by Smith last year but
never appeared in court to defend his
action. He had regarded himself as
immune from prosecution and boasted
of his pull with leading men in public
life. He told the Jail authorities that
he would not be held after appearance
in court, but was forsaken by his
many friends and was led to the
county Jail.
Detectives J. A. Mitchell and j. T..
Quarles had charge Of Mcntgomery's
case and visited Minneapolis Tuesday
to secure more evidence. a..
The Star was discontinued in Feb
ruary because of financial difficulties
and illness of its editor, whom The
Advocate referred to as "the ground
hog" Now 'the grounding" is en-
joying free air and liberty. while the
"jail bird" is thinking it over in the
county's cage. ,....-.. ..

Inc negro pOpulatlOn OF St. Pau
Is conservatively estimated at 5000
and its personnel. physically, morally
and mentally, when measured by the
Negro's opportunity here, squares
splendidly with that of any other race
of people forming part of this great
and progressive commonwealth.
That you may the better under
stand and know the Negro of st. Paul
I have prepared some data showing
his religious, civic and economic con
dition.
AS previously stated a conservative
estimate shows 5000 Negroes in St
Paul
They are divided into five religious
denominations, as follows:
Baptistc-Members 600-Property
$4,000.
ethodists-Mem5ers 550-Pro-
perty $14.500. .....
lCatholics-Members 250-Proper-
ty $4,000.
Observation-Disclosures 2O0-Proper-
ty $12,500. ....
Observation-Disclosures 175-Pro-
erty $4,000. Total $4,000
Showing that one out of every three
Negroes in st. Paul is a member OF
some religious organization.
Because of the fact that the Ne.
gro's earnings are small, and Of his
efforts to guard against the day of
misfortune. sickness and death. fra.
ternal organizations are numerous
among the Negro men, women and
children, including such organiza.
tions as the Mason, Odd Fellows X.
Ps, she Elks and others including the
various branches and subdivisions OF
each.
We have two buildings-Union Hall
at Aurora Ave. and Kent ST., contain
ing a gymnasium, bowling alley, an
auditorium 45xS0, and two lodge rooms
of the value of 100000 owned joint.
ly by one lodge of Odd Fellows and
one lodge Of Masons; and Welcome
Hall, a settlement House at Earring.
ton and st. Anthony Avenues. of the
value of $12,000.00 owned by the
Presbyterian church. .. ..
st. Paul. among the Negroes has
the reputation Of having more Negro
owned homes, better homes and a.
midst better surroundings, in proper
tion to its Negro population than any
other City in the United States. The
homes of the Negroes here are val
ued at $750,OOOO0. .'s. IN
The morals of the colored people
Of st. Paul Is excellent as evidenced
by the fact that l am informed by
Mr.. Ninestadt, deputy clerk of the
Police court, that during the past ten
years there has not been more than
six young colored girls arrested for
soliciting or street-walking.
A large number of colored boys and
girls have won honors in the public
schools and other institutions OF learn
ing In st. Paul, and only last month,
in contest with the entire City of st.
Paul and county of Ramsey, Master
Earl wilkins IL years of age, and a
student at Mechanics Arts High
School, was declared the champion
speller Of Ramsey County.
Because Of prejudice the Negro pro-
fessional men, three lawyers, two doc
tors, two dentists. and one mechani-
cal dentist, probably do not have as
large clientage as their ability war
rants, but all of them have some eli.
ents and patients among the white
people and are doing as well as many
of their white competitors.
Owing to competition there are
not many buiness enterprises owned
by Negroes in st: Paul, and the fol-
lowing brief list covers about every
ing Of that nature of which we can
boast.

Milk at 10 cents quart Is as cheap
a source of protein as sirloin steak at
343 cents pound or eggs at 41.9
cents dozen. Milk at the same price
is as cheap a source of energy as sir
loin steak at 212 cents a pound or
eggs at 20 cents a dozen. Protein and
energy are two important necessities
for which we eat food. Milk contains
the bodybuilding materials-protein
and mineral substances, such as lime
and phosphorus-needed to renew body
wastes and promote growth by form
ing new tissues and fluids; and it also
supplies the energy for carrying on
body functions.
The average person in this country
uses only a little more than a half
pint Of milk daily. This quantity can
be increased very profitably when safe
milk is available. Many persons think
Of milk only as beverage, but IL they
understood that 1t is really nour-
ishing food they would increase the al
lowance. Economy in the diet does
not always depend on limiting the use
of certain foods, but it is sometimes
a question Of actually increasing the
use of foods which furnish nutritive
material at relatively low cost. Milk
belongs to the latter class and the
housewife would do well to study it's
food value and decide whether her
family is using as much as 1t should.

Every ton of natural ice gathered
and stored this winter will help in
wartime conservation of ammonia,
which is vitally important in the manu-
facture of fertilizers and explosives.
Ammonia Is necessity in the manu-
facture of ice, and the salts of am
mOnia are regarded as essential in
making certain fertilizers. The man
who harvests ice now and stores it in
pits or ice houses may have the satis-
faction. next summer of helping out
his neighbor who depended on an ice
plant. In addition to the saving Of
ammonia, conservation of coal is to be
effected through the harvesting of nat
ural ice. American ice factories and
refrigerator plants, according to fig
ures of the United States fuel admin
istration, use annually 100000 tons
of coal.
President Wilson, by proclamation
signed January 4, has required all per-
SONS, firms, corporations and associa-
tions, except those specifically ex-
empted by the food control act, en-
gagged in the business of importing
manufacturing, storing, or distribut-
ing ammonia, ammoniacal liquor or
ammonium sulphate, from whatever
source produced, to secure license on
or before January 81, 1918.
