IA CAGE GAMES FOR

commences easily and ends with a cll-

arranged. and 1t is not thought that
this schedule will be altered unless

seen by looking over the schedule that
two Camden games. two Chester games
and the contest with Tome Institute
close the season, the last game being
with p ]. d. II is not too much to
say that High VIII have had a success

ilfths Of their games, when the class Of
teams the locals are meeting is taken
into consideration.

noon under the tutilage Of Coach Dunn
In the big gymnasium Lents. Lam n
Newlin, Pierson, lRder and Charley
Green are considered as lnkely candi-
dates for the FIRST team, and Anderson

a good opportunity for the first

A schedule for the second team is
now being worked out by Manager
Fritz There Is one disadvantage 10 the
indoor cage game, only five men can
play at any one time, so a schedule for
a second team becomes a necessity. In
the last not much Importance has been
attached to these second string games,

IMPORTATION OF NEGRO
LABORERS CAUSES
NEAR RIOT
lBy Associated NEGRO Press

Meridian, MISS, Aug: pa real
interesting story comes from Wayne
County, where last week serious race
trouble was narrowly averted, accord
ing to those who attended the session
Of court, which ended last Saturday.
1t Is said that the residents OF Beat .
in that county armed themselves with
shotguns and repelled the Importation
Of large number of Negro labor srs
into that section by lumber com
pany
According to authoritative informa
ton, Beat has been one of those sec
tions where no Negroes were allowed,
particularly some parts Of the beat.
About thirty years ago tract of tim
Der was bought by big lumber con-
cern and on warning they obeyed the
request not to send Negroes into the
section.
Recently another lumber company
Sought some timber in that section
md the residents sent committee
~equesting that no Negroes be used
sxcept on the trains and on roadbed
work This warning, it is said, was
disregarded and last week a trainload
of Negro worSmen were started into
that section. The train was met by
a large armed body and the fright
ened Negroes jumped from the cars
through the windows and doors, and
made their escapes.
The matter, it is said, was present
ed to the grand jury, but so far as
can be learned no indictments were
returned.

SOME RACIAL
HISTORY OF
MINNEAPOLIS
lBy Associated Nero pressl


Minneapolis, Mimi. aug. 2S.--Min-
neapolis never had race war, but it
did have a near riot when Colored
person as it's cause before the Civil
War. But it was for the benefit of
the slave.
In those days, many Southerners
came up the river to spend the sum-
mer here. Their favorite stopping
place was the old WinSl0w House, a
huge hotel which was t1rn down in
1883 to make way for the Exposition
Building.
The trouble came in connection with
a Colored woman who was brought
here as a slave by st. Louis doctor
and his family as their personal serv-
ant on their vacation.
Slavery was then a very live issue.
When the slave woman desired TO
claim freedom because she was in a
free state, her owner objected, but
her claim attracted instant and gen.
eral support from the Minneapolis Of
that day. She was taken away from
her master and solicitiously cared for

out en- masse prepared to nullify any
forcible attempt to return to her to
servitude. The whole town was ready
to fight her battle for her.
This was before the firal Dred
Scott decision. The woman did not
gain her freedom, but the incident
made Southerners chary about bring
ing slaves into Minnesota.
Timid ones among the present Col
ored population here who do not know
this incident in the history of this
city are inclined to be apprenhensive
lest the Chicago trouble spread to Min
neapolis. Their representatives assur-
ences today in conference with Mayor
Meyers to the effect that individual
safety of all residents would be abso-
lutely provided.
eve must remember that the Me-
groes are citizens the Mayor said,
"and we want to assure them that they
will be given every protection of the
police department"

HOUSTON NEGROES
ORGANIZE BRANCH
PATRIOTIC LEAGUE
(By Associated Negro Press).

Wy AooOOlaNCu ANC6lO ICooJ.
Houston, Texas, Aug. 23.-The Ne
groes Of Houston have organized. and
rendered their services to the Har-
ris County Patriotic League, and
peace officers to assist in maintain
ing harmony here between the two
races, and also to assist in locating
and prosecuting any persons found
guilty of spreading propaganda for
the purpose of stirring up racial hat
red. At a meeting Thursday fifty Me-
groes, representing every avenue of
life among the Negroes of the city,
were appointed on committee to CO.
operate with the Patriotic League.
Members of the Patriotic League
expressed themselves as pleased with
this spirit among the Negroes and are
glad to have their cooperation. While
none of them contemplate any dis
orders, they are aware of the fact
chat there are persons among both
races who would like to see trouble.
There seems % be unmistakable In
formation in the hands of the au-
thorities at Washington that radi-
Gals, who seek the destruction Of or
ganized society, are backing nation
wide movement to promote racial
troubles, just as they are labor trou-
bles and all other kinds of trouble
that will bring on disorder in this
country. 1t is this propaganda that
viii be closely guarded against and
the Negro organization will be of
great service in quelling such propa-
ganda among the Negroes.
