DALLAS DISTRICT NOTES.
R. S. Jenkins, P. e.

We had most glorious District
Conference The delegates declared
themselves; they said II was the
best meeting of its kind they had
ever attended. The delegation was
unusually large for district con-
ference. Every charge reported with
the exception OF Gaines Chapel, East
Dallas. Building an edifice is no
legal excuse. We must support the
general cause; IL not, there will be
no local churches nor local cause
to exist. We are going to lead the
State. Drs. j. II. Smith and c. w.
Abingdon paid out in the full for
the year.
DIR. J. II. Smith and the good MEM
bers of Bethel Church covered them
selves with glory and great honor
in the manner they entertained their
guest; indeed II was the greatest in
the history of the district. We
have several reporters. hence we
shall say nothing more along this
line, as we have other reporters des-
iganted for the task--sure enough

WAITER KILLS SELF AND
WIFE.

Birmingham, Ala, May 26.-Shoot-
ing himself after fatally wounding
his wife, John Wallace of 1916 Sew
enth Avenue, South, gave to police
and the coroner's Office the first case
of a Negro suicide is more than ten
years.
Wallace, who was a waiter at the
Tutwiler Hotel, MORALLY wounded his
wife, Mrs. Lucy Wallace, at their
home in a family quarrel. He then
turned the revolver on himself, send
ing three bullets into the vicinity
of his heart. The woman died before
she could be taken to a hospital
Her husband was dead when police
arrived
The couple were alone in the house
when the quarrel occurred. A pass
erby reported to the police that he
saw the man in the doorway of the
kitchen with revolver in hand A
minute later one shot was fired, and
then shortly afterwards three shots
in the front room, with the revolver
in close succession. The woman was
found in the kitchen. The man was
in the front room, with the revolver
beside him. Examination by police
showed three bullet holes directly
over his heart.
Neighbors told police that the cOu-
f pie had quarrelled but that recently
they had seemed to be living at
peace. They were about 80 years
old, and, according to police, law
abiding.
Coroner j. D. Russum held that the
death of the woman was an unlawful
homocide and that the death of thl
man was suicide.

CALL TO WOMEN'S CLUBS
IS ISSUED BY SUPERINTEN-
DENT.
AN OPEN LETTER
Dear Co-Workers:

Dear Co-Workers:
Sometime ago l sent you letter
asking you to organize in your city
a club of young girls. l hope you
have been successful and that your
girls club has already federated
with the state.
| am asking you to instruct your
new club to bring to the State Con-
vention which convenes in Cleburne,
Texas, July 4th, 5th, 9Th and 7th
two pieces of art work for the eX-
hibit directed by Mrs c. c. Trim
BILE of Wichita Falls. These pieces
are to be sold, the money from one
goes to State work, the money from
the orther goes back to the local
club.
am requesting each girls club
to send full representation as the
Juvenile Department should and
will be organized into an auxiliary
of the Texas Women's clubs and
formulate plans for a yearly pro-
gram just as is done by the Senior
department.
Our president, Mrs. Ransom has
promised me one afternoon for the
Juvenile Department. l would like
to present the best girl talent in
Texas on this afternoon. Because of
the financial condition of our organ
ization it is impossible for the heads
of our different departments to get
over the State and do our work per-
sonally therefore I am depending
wholly upon the mother clubs Of
the state and what l am able to do
through correspondence to make the
Juvenile Department a success. If
you have in your newly organized
clubs girls who can appear on this
program send me their names and
selections.
This is a new development in our
State work and if it succeeds it
must be due to the cooperation of
all the club women in Texas. l have
with our president, work, out
phase of work to be carried out
yearly by the Juvenile of Texas. 1t
is my desire to present my plans to
the Federation for approval.
Yours For Lifting AS We Climb"
