Negro Protests Against
Prejudice at Theater

South Bend, Ind, Sept. 21.-"One
of those Chicago riot niggers," was
the remark made of Floyd G. Snelson,
Jr., representing The Chicago Whip,
who, in company with one of the lead
ing young women of South Bend,
attempted to buy seats on the main
floor of the Orpheum Theatre. The
ticket seller informed them that all
seats on the main floor Were sold.
Upon entering, Snelson inquired of
the usher, who was a colored girl,
about several rows of seats that were
vacant. He then protested at the box
office and the manager still persisted
that all main floor seats were sold.
A heated argument ensued and the
manager is said to have made the
above remark. Four colored girl ush-
ers went to their employer in protest,
and not receiving any consideration,
they all quit. 1t is one of the first
race segregatiOns in the city.

Reports to Excel

Reports are to excel all former ones,
according to the testimonies of well
informed clergymen and laymen. The
finance and membership reports are
expected to surpass all former records.
The pastors in the entire district have
worked more in harmony with the
Bishop and presiding Elders than this
section has ever witnessed before. Del
egates are to be elected at this con-
ference for the next general confer
ence to be held at st. Louis, Mo-, in
May, 1920.
There are many aspirants for this
coveted honor, but, according to con-
servative opinion among those most
closely connected with the church, the
| following men are more than favorites:
Rev. A. J. Carey, presiding elder of
Chicago District, who in all probabil-
ity, if merit counts, will be elected
Bishop next May; Rev. Floyd G. Smell
son, the man who has no rival as
builder, organizer and pastor of st.
Mary's in Chicago; Rev. S. L. Burt of
Des Moines, Iowa, who also is a
builder; Rev. H. E. Stewart of Quinn
Chapel, Chicago, who has proved his
genius in preparing to entertain the
conference, and DR.. M. D. Cook of

Rev. Elmer L. Williams, commonly
referred to as the Fighting parson,'
and Pat O'Donnel were violent in their
denunciation of States Attorney Mac
lay Hoyne and his unfair untreatm ent
of the colored population. They ad-
monished the leaders to keep up the
fight for a special states attorney to
prosecute the riot cases. DR.. Williams
repeated the phrase coined by Fred
erick Douglas, that "God and one con-
stituted majority" From this an
alogy he said that the colored people
who were fighting the satanical car
Hoyne, need have no fear, the cause
was just. God is with right and the
colored people could win the fight.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 25.- A
joint resolution was introduced by
Congressman Mason providing for a
commission TO gather information and
TO pry into the cause of the friction
that seems TO be increasing between
the various racial groups in the
United States. In addition, it will be
incumbent upon this commission to
outline or suggest permanent rem
edy to eradicate this vital and national
evil.
$4,000 Appropriated.
The sum of $50, 900 is to be devoted
TO this investigation. Those who are
familiar with the historical as well as
the present magnitude of the subject
agree that money appropriated for
this purpose should not be sparing.
To Study all Phases.
All sides of the race question will be
taken under advisement by this COM
! nission---social, economic. and indus
trial. This, it is SAID, will necessi-
tate the prying into the clinical diff
ferences of the various races. Rep
resentative Mason is of the opinion
that the race question is Americas
greatest problem and should be dealt
with on strict scientific basis.
