NOT BURY JEW

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 27.-The body
of Jacob Bronstein, Jew, 56 years old,
a cabinet maker, was buried last week

Justice of the Peace Andrew Zazzolo,
white, after Gates and Manuel had
been notified by Bronstein's step:

did. the undertakers taking the stand

friends, when they heard of the dilema
in which they were placed, though the
jew is an oppressed race, seemingly
succumbed to American prejudice and
had the writ issued.
The undertakers informed the Jews
they would release the body if their
bill was paid. The writ, returnable
on Jan. 27th, placed a value of $50 on
the body and said it had been dam

Lynching bill "the most important le-
gal step ever taken toward ending our
peculiarly national disgrace The en-
tire editorial paragraph in the Nation
reads as follows:
"The passage of the Dyer Anti
Lynching bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives by the large majority of 30
to 119 is an achievement. Every
American should derive distinct satis-
faction from this, the most important
legal step ever taken toward ending
our peculiarly national disgrace. For
this accomplishment the National As
sociation for the Advancement of Col

bored to arouse the American con
science about lynchings and to cryS-
talliZe public sentiment into effective
legislation. deserves full credit Bur
the fight is not yet won; the bill still
has to pass the Senate. Those who
feel the sting when Europeans ask,
Do you really mean that crowds gather
to see men burned alive in America?
should give the National Association
unstinted support until the bill not
only passes the Senate and becomes
law, but is enforced"

WORK TO START FEB. |
ON ARM0Ry HERE

Work will start on the $50 900 armory
for Pueblo on February j. according
to Captain Morris Penter. who re-
turned from Denver Monday. The
armory will be erected at the state
fair grounds.
Morris Penter was called before the
military board when in Denver and he
was asked: DO you want the armory
In Pueblo?" Penter replied in the af-
firmative and the members of the mill
tary board told him that they would
disregard the appeals OF everyone, that
they were the ones to decide where
the armory would be erected, and that
1t would be at the fair grounds. he
said
Bids will be advertised for the work
Saturday and the contract will be let
and dirt will be flying by February l.
according to the promise the board
made Penter.
The federal military inspection OF
the local units was postponed thru the
efforts of Penter until February 1,
when they will be in first class con-
dition.
Penter vainly tried to have the mill
tary board approve of the downtown
site for the armory.. in harmony with
the Pueblo business men. but the re-
fusal made him reach the conclusion
that 1t would be better to have the
srmory at the fair grounds than not
to have it in Pueblo at all.
The military board promised &c. give
Pueblo contractors, and material pro
duced near Pueblo preference and to
employ only Pueblo men.
In the $50 600 allotted for the armory.
will be included a riding school. IN
which the members OF the local units
will be taught the proper manner III
which to ride horses and fancy riding.
and polo.
