ITS ALI TOGETHER
 FOR BIG ASSEMBLY
Fund Started to Do Work Preliminary 10 Mena Making Offer to the M. E. Church, South, COmmission-Dr.
 Millar's Visit

Dr. A. C. Millar, chairman of the that is to finally locate the great Methodist assembly, has come and gone.
 The movement to secure 1t for Mena. already underway, has now taken on definite form and an impetus that will "carry on" to the meeting of the commission in January, and, Mena workers hope and believe, to successful termination.
 A combined meeting of Mena's as- semblv committee, named by the Com- mercial Club, together with the exec utive committee of the club, was held Monday afternoon at club headquar- fers. with the Rev. k. k. Harreli pre- siding. After considerable discus sion 1t was decided to raise Sl,OOO immediately for preliminary expense, including the entertainment of conl- missioners, the securing of options on needed land, the plating of same and the issuing of a prospectus. E. n. Sapp was named as chairman and the list was headed by w. K. Watkins with S100, and the balance was to be in the bank early Tuesday.
 Dr. MiIlar's Visit.
 Dr. A. c. Millar, chairman of the commission of 26 that will locate the assembly, arrived in Mena Saturday afternoon. He was at once taken to view the proposed site, doing so from mountain point overlooking the land and later was honor guest at a ban uuet served at The Antlers in which c. o. Williams, assistant general pas senger agent of the Kansas City Southern, and about thirty represen- tative Mena business men were par ticipants.
 Sunday afternoon, Dr. Millar and Mr. Williams, with a committee repre- senting Mena, viewed the proposed site, walking over much of the land the guests then departing on No. I for the north.
 Sunday morning Dr. Millar occu- pied the pulpit at the First NJ. E Church, South, at which time he out lined the assembly proposition ir some detail, declaring that this par ticular assembly had every assurance of being the greatest thing of the kind in the world, and giving reasons for the belief. He did not minimize the effort that would be necessary to land it in Mena, but as a result of his visit and talks the workers are enter ing with the utmost enthusiasm into the task laid down, and expect to win, but only provided they are given the utmost and undivided support by the citizens.
 After the talk Dr. Millar preached a strong sermon touching definitely on conditions of everyday life, using words of Jesus as his basis.
 The Presbyterians, headed by the Rev. T. A. Park, attended the services in body, completely filing the large auditorium.

TOTEM SPEAKS FOR FIRST TIME
AT MEETING OF NEW VIRGIN IS
Popular Virgin Islander Points Out
Grave Mistakes Made by Dissolved
League.

At a meeting of the New Virgin Is
lands Protective League, held Sunday,
October 9th, at their headquarters 149
West both Street, the great strike re-
ported to be 10 effect in St. Croix was
brought up for discussion.
Mr.. Horace Williams said that condi-
tons were being we'll taken care Of in
St. Thomas, by Mr., RotchchiId Francis;
and he thought that the League could
render some assistance in bringing to an
end the trouble, by getting in touch with
Mr.. Morris Davis at St. Croix.
Mr.. Bencett Reubel expressed no con
fidence in such a suggestion. He said
that the only thing the League could 90,
would be to send a representative, and
a native, who is also an American citi-
zen, to live in St. Croix for the specific
purpose of effecting a better and final
understanding between the classes, with
Capital, and with Labor.
This representative, backed by the
League, and political Influences would
force a means of recognition there.
Mr.. Ashly Totten jumped to his feet
to remind the members that the old Vir-
gin Island Protective League had its
golden opportunity to effect such an an

derstanding at the time he visited the Is
lane as a delegate.
Prominent citizens of St. Croix, at the
time, tried to get permission from the
League to have him remain, and offered
their cooperation to make these aims a
success; but unfortunately. the members
associated themselves with those on the
Islands inOculated with class, race, and
religious hatred.
There is, said he, an undyinQ belief
in the minds of many, that we can bring
about better conditions in the Virgin Is
lands, politically and otherwise by means
OF an antagonistic spirit against the
white man and certain people e color,
who represent the prominence of the Is
lands.
This, cannot be done, and it is incon-
ceivabIe that intelligent people would
think that way.
The old League was highly respected
by the better classes in St. Croix, and by
everybody in St. Thomas.
That you have deliberately trampled
this respect in the dus is q fact too well
known 70 you.
Now you have organized a new League,
| want to advise you that your success
depends upon the adoption of a definite
policy, based upon JUSTICE to all
classes, regardless of race creed, class,
or color.
Unless you do this you can never re-
gain the respect of the inhabitants OF the
Islands.
This new League has as it's object, |
understand, the Improvement of condi-
tons generally in the Islands, and TO ac,
Quire land and property.
1t admits natives of the Virgin Islands
and American citizens.
| wonder under the circumstances
what would happen if a native born
white man entered our meeting hall and
registered for membership
Some of you, who are jmbued with
these ideas, would be in 2 %quandary.
During the course of Mr.. Totten's re-
marks, two women we're seen 10 move
restlessly in their seats.
Finally they asked to be excused and
left the room, as he said, Il love the
people Of my Islands, but, because Of the
truth they do not love me.
That they attempted to hurt the good
character of my famil.' and myself,
is a proof Of this. TIME HEALS ALL

3rd Member for Christiansted Country

Mr.. Chairman. | am sorry that we have

he is such an old member of the Council
that an exception was made In his case.

THEFT OF RING BRINGS
PENITENTIARY TERM
Clerk, Roped by Schoolboys,
Receives Sentence.

Samuel Cohen, %. the clerk who was
roped by schoolboys last Saturday and
taken TO Essex Market Court. charged
with stealing a signet ring from Charles
Plia. 10, of 500 East 1l3th street. was
sent to the penitentiary for an indeter-
inmate term by Justices Herman,
Edwards and Mclnerny in Special Ses-
sions yesterday.
Plia said Cohen asked him to go to a
drug store and get 500 In nickels which
were waiting there for him, and that
he demanded the ring as security. The
boy knew he had been fooled when
there were no nickels at the drug
store and no Cohen ON the corner when
he returned.
While Plia was playing with some
other boys last Saturday he spied
Cohen. Together they lassoed him and
hauled him to the court.
