BERT WILLIAMS NOW
PLAYING TO Big
AUDIENCES in EAST
(The Associated Negro Press)


Chicago, H., Dec. 30.-Bert Will
liams, the famous comedian, who is
now appearing in Under the Bamboo
Tree, at the Studebaker, this city, is
at "his best" according to opinions
of the ever critical and hard to
please public.
The vehicle, through which Bert
Williams passes is philosophy and
humor to the public is unique in musi-
cal comedy productions in that Will
liams is the only Colored member of
the organization. This situation
proves that the theater going public
has at last arrived to the point where
they are willing to be entertained
strictly on merit No comedian on
the American stage, or any other
stage, can produce better laughs than
Bert Williams.

CLEMENCY DENIED
CONVICTED men OF
24TH j. S. INF FANTRY
Especial to The Tribune)

Washington, D. c., Dec. 31.-The
war department is opposed to grant
ing clemency to the sixty-three for
mer members of the oath Infantry
who are in prison for participating in
the Houston riots in August, 1917,
Secretary Weeks informed the chair
man of the house military committee.
The secretary, in a letter, gave in
formation concerning the prisoners,
sought in a resolution recently intro
duced by Representative Anthony ire
publican, Kansas who asked whether
any of the men were in Leavenworth
penitentiary for merely missing roll
call on the night of the riot, and
whether there was any likelihood of
clemency being extended to them.
"The only reason clemency has not
been extended and is not now recon-
mended," Mr.. Weeks stated, sis that
on account of the offenses of which
these men were clearly guilty they are
hOb SulAlleu " any Cl6lHbuCg-
Secretary Weeks reported that So
of the 11O men convicted of participat-
ing in the riots were serving life SEN
tences, while five others were in
prison serving fifteen years each. OF
the others, nineteen were executed,
the letter stated, six have died in con-
finement and the rest have either
served out their terms or have been
granted clemency.
None was found guilty because he
had been absent from roll call on the
night of the riot, Mr.. Weeks said.
The war secretary said the evidence
had been reviewed repeatedly to de-
termine whether any injustice had
been done, but in every instance the
reviewing officers had recommended
against clemency.

4nC AoSOCldl6Q NEGRO Hr6SSl
Athens, Ca, Dec. 30-Federal in
yestigations into the killings that were
staged in Oconee county Sunday, De
cember 4, have been started and
through the joint efforts of the county
officials and the federal authorities,
it is believed that the persons guilty
of the law violations will be brought
to justice.
Since the investigation was begun,
Judge Walter c. Cornett, United
States deputy in Athens has received
several anonymous communications
warning him to discontinue the fed
eral investigation. These letters have
been traced, according to Judge Cor
nett, and the persons responsible will
be brought to trial.
: The Oconee officials who are work
ing toward the capture of the gang
which is said to be responsible for
the disorder and killings in that coun-
ty, and incidentally who are charged
with selling illicit liquor, have been
in communication with Judge Blanton

Church DOOR LOCKED D.
IN PASTORS FACE
BY HIS OFFICERS
Especial to The Tribunel

Seattle, Wash, Dec. = Rev. J..
Logan Craw, pastor of the First A.
M. E. church, Seattle, was served with
a restraining order Thursday enjoin-
ing him from entering the church or
interfering with the trustees and to
show cause why he should not vacate
the parsonage by December 16. The
restraining order was issued by Judge
King Dykeman of the superior court
and Rev. J. Logan Craw is ordered to
appear December 16 and show cause
why the injunction should not be made
permanent. The restraining order
was issued on the plea of five of the
seven members of the board of trus-
tees. Those signing were o. H. Win
ston, chairman; Stephen A. Young,
secretary; G. ]. Penn, w. Appleton
and James A. Roston The two men,
bers refusing to sign are l. Allen and
j. G. Gayles. Strife has existed in
the First A. M. E. church since the
return of the pastor from the annual
conference held in Yakima last Octo-
Der. The trustees complain that Rev.
Craw has refused to recognize their
authority, that he will not let them
function as a body, that he tries to
force them to act with members of
the official board as members of their
board. These are only few of the
reasons they give for their action. A
faction in the church has sided with
Rev. Craw and claim the pastor acted
with the authority given him through
the discipline of the church. They
point to the record of the church un-
der Rev. Craw's administration and
cite that the church was cleared of
debt by his management of its af-
fairs.
The First A. NJ. E. church is an in
corporated body, being Incorporated
under the laws of the state of Wash
ington August 5, 1890. The articles
were approved by three bishops of
the church, Bishops Shaefer, Lee and
Grant. The articles of incorporation
give the trustees the right to elect
their chairman. The discipline of the
church gives the pastor the right to
act as chairman of all the church
committees or boards. The five trus-
tees who seek to restrain Rev. Craw
state that article 8, page 443 of the
A. M. E. discipline upholds them in
their action as it reads: whenever
the law of the land requires a speci-
fled mode of election that mode shall
be observed in electing trustees"
This difference of opinion has divided
the church into two factions and has
resulted in much bitterness. Recent
ly three of the trustees were expelled
from the church for insubordination.
They refused to recognize the expul-
sion. The hearing before Judge Dyk-
man December 16 will pack the court
room with interested members of both
factions of the church.

Especial to The Tribune)


Washington, Dc. c., Dec. 31.-Pinck-
ney B. S. Pinchback, "a years old,
