Especial to The rribunel

st. Louis, Mo, March S1-The big
attraction in ST. Louis from a religi-
Gus standpoint is the approaching
General Conference of the Colored
Methodist Episcopal Church to be
held in May. 1t will be remembered
that the General Conference was held
in this city eight years ago and bring
ing it back so soon testifies to the
royal fashion in which st. Louis peo-
pie entertain the representatives of
this great and growing church.
1t is thought that this will in
many respects be the greatest Con-
ference the church has ever held.
Bishop R. s. Williams of Augusta,

BLACKS HOLD JOINT
Meeting WITH WHITES
in ATLANTIC CITY
fspecial to The Tribunel

Atlantic City, N. J. March ~
The Atlantic City Chamber of Com
merce will meet with representative
colored citizens of the resort on
March "a when it holds its regular
monthly session at the Atlantic City
Yacht Club for the purpose of dis
cussing closer business cooperation
between the white and colored people
of the city.
Much of the misunderstanding and
friction between the races is due to
the fact that the white man does not
know enough about the colored man
They really need to become better
acquainted. Although the two races
rub elbows on the street every day.
the white man knows very little
of the finer qualities in Negro busi-
ness life and character.
The idea of an inter-racial meeting
was suggested to Samuel P. Leeds,
president of the Chamber of Com
ul0ICS ny AttOlACy Jo1hOo "A. 6AS3hS
foot, the leading colored lawyer of
the resort and one of the most repre-
sentative citizens of the community.
In speaking of the joint meeting At
torney Lightfoot said: "The Negro
must learn to advance his own cause.
He can do this by faithfully and fear
lessly presenting the facts in his civ
ic and national life that relate to his
advancement. These facts must be
presented to the people who need to
know the most"
At this meeting a careful presen-
tation Of the Hotel Fitzgerald plan
will be made. The Hotel Fitzgerald
soon to be erected will cost approx
mately one million dollars and will be
the greatest undertaking of its kind
ever attempted by colored people
Since this hotel will be the equal in
appointment and equipment of any
of the great hotels along the beach
front, it will advance the commercial
interests of colored people in the re-
sort a thousand per cent and will
also be an inspiration to every color
ed person in the country.

MYER SAYS PEAK
OF DEPRESSION in
COUNTRY REACHED
special to The Tribunel


Albuquerque, N. NJ, Mar 31.-The
peak of the depression in this coun-
try has been reached and business
is returning to normal, Eugene Meyer
Jr, managing director of the war
finance corporation told business men
in an address here last week.
81 do not mean that boom times
are returning" Mr.. Meyer said "In-
deed, we do not want to return to
boom times. There reactions are too
painful. But it may be said with
confidence that the sheep and cattle
growers of the west are now in a
position to operate on a favorable
basis and one that will prove profit
able under economical methods of
operation"
A total of $SOO,OOO,OOO has been
loaned by the corporation since the
enactment of the agricultural relief
law, he said, $6O,OOO,OOO of which has
been advanced to the livestock in
dustry. OF the latter, about $1,000
900 has been loaned in New Mexico.
He received a telegram while here
in which the Washington office adj
vised him of the repayment today of
100000 of loans.

RACE PROBLEM MAY
BE SOLVED THROUGH
RECENT INVENTION
Especial to The Tribune)

Rio Janiero, Brazil, March 81
There will be no further difference
in color of peoples of the earth if
the claims of young Brazilian
scientist, who says that he had dis
covered a process by which colored
people can be turned to a pure white,
are true Brazilians, who know no
color line and whose country and gov
ernment are made up of the best
brains and greatest abilities of his
citizens regardless of color, are re-
ported to have heralded the announ-
cement of means to change the col
or of people with scorn and derision
but it is thought that the claims OF
the young Brazilian scientist will
meet with different reception in the
United States where more than ten
millions of American citizens are held
in condition of near-slavery simply
and only because of a difference in
color which they inherit from their
remote ancestors.
Professor Pedrose, the scientist, al
so lays claim to an invention by
which the dead can be brought back
to life. An American tourist, repre-
senting some strong United States
financial interests, is. reported as
stating that Prof Pedrose can have
ready an ample financial backing if
he cares to bring his two great in.
