BAPTIST MINISTER
Held ON Charge
OF BIGAMY, AYERS
Especial to The Tribune.)


PINE BLUFF, Ark, Dec. 29.-Rev.
H. Jeffries, Baptist minister here,
is held in jail here on a charge of
bigamy. According to reports, the
Rev. Mr.. Jeffries wrote his name
once too often when he signed mar
riage license application in the coun-
ty clerks office recently.
When word reached Mrs. Jeffries,
No. l, w"o resides at 213 Arch ST.,
she called at the sheriffs office and
swore out warrant for husbands s
arrest. The minister was arrested
and lodged in jail on charge of
bigamy.
1t is said that when newspapermen
called at the bastile to interview the
incarcerated minister, he refused to
make any statements until the at
taches of the sheriffs office produced
bible on which the parson could
place his hand while he talked. Inas-
much as there was no Bible in the
county institution the reporters were
compelled to wait for quite sometime
before they could secure the coveted
interview from the Rev. Mr.. Jeffries.

ed to mark the first time that per.
son wearing the full regalia of the

York City. Although the minister
declined to say just how arrangements
were made for the appearance of the
Klansman, the fact that it was pre-
arranged, is shown by the advertising

AS a result of the advertisement
the church was crowded, more than
1000 persons being present.
The Klansman made a neat stage
entrance effect. Mounting the -four
steps which lead from the floor to the

The statement issued by Southern

SOCIETY GIRLS OF
White RACE WORN OUT
AT 20 SAYS DOCTOR
Especial to The Tribune.)

LONDON, December 29.-"Worn
out at twenty" was the phrase ap-
piled to the modern society girl by
DR.. Agnes Savills eminent woman
doctor, in striking lecture before
the London Institute of Hygiene.
''The Society girl nowadays dis
penses with a chaperon, she said,
land even if she retains the old
standards of chastity her mind is be-
coming poisoned by the hectic life
that she leads her cigarettes, whis-
kies and sodas, and unhealthful
meals. When she marries her stand
ard of relationship with her husband
and children will not be high one.
81 have seen some of these girls. -
DR.. Savill continued. AFTER a few
years of society life they age by ten
years, and already at the age of 20
they are as worn out and nerve
tired as if they were 40.
"I think that the cocktail habit
among young girls is serious dan
ger 1t is lamentable that a girl
of 20 can not take a meal without
first having a cocktail because she
fears indigestion"
DR. Savill blames parents for-what
she describes as this physical de-
generation" asserting that only
they can remedy it.

Big HIT IS SCORED
BY BANKERS FIRE
INSURANCE COMP ANY
(By The Associated Negro Press.)

(By The Associated Negro Press.)
DURHAM, N. c., Dec. 29.-The
Bankers Fire Insurance Company
scored decisivelyy last week 1t was
the two million dollar Newbern fire
that gave this strong Negro company
its chance to jump overnight into the
business limelight of this section of
the country. Less than 4S hours after
the big conflagration the represent
atives of the Bankers was on the
scene and adjusting the claims ana.
making arrangements for immediate
settlement of losses. This was a
record business achievement and has
made profound impression through
out the State Of North Carolina.
One of the interesting features of
the situation is the fact that the
prompt action of the Negro company
caused hardship to other companies
facing the payment of big claims due
to the fire calamity. So acute was
the dilemma in which these others
found themselves that they called
upon the Bankers to call temporary
halt in its speed payment campaign
so as to give their brother business
companies chance to catch up with
them. The request was complied with
but not until the Negro company had
paid out something more than $4,000
in claims. This action was not de-
liberate attempt to cause other insur-
ance concerns embarrassment but for
the simple reason that a large number
of colored people were big losers In
the fire which covered forty blocks
and destroyed more than 1900 homes
and needed immediate help.
This humane attitude of the Bankers
Fire Insurance Company has done
much to improve the position of the
colored business men here Aside
from the effect the company's action
has had on the general business
world Of this state it does the greater
thing of increasing the respect which
the colored folks themselves had held
toward their own business enterprise.
A big business gain In the sum Of the
total gain for the race.
The combined capital and surplus Of
the Bankers company Is $275.O00.
Last year the books of the concern
held over $7,0OO,OOO of business This
gave it first standing among the fire
insurance companies doing business IN
North Carolina. W. G. Pearson is the
president and W. Gomez is the secre4
tary of the company. The present or
ganization is the result of recent
merger with the Great Southern Fire
Insurance Company.

MUSKOGEE BAPTIST
Minister REFUSES
TO QUIT HIS Church
Especial to The Tribune. }

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Dec. 29.-Jack
johnson in the days when he was
creating new stars for prospective
white hopes" to gaze upon as they
got in the way of the colored pugi-
lists strong arm, had nothing on the
Rev. James S. Anderson, pastor of
the Rayfield Baptist church, if the al
legations contained in a petition fill
ed in district court are true.
In fact, it is charged by the board
of deacons of the church and sixty
two members of the congregation that
the Rev. Anderson openly boasts
from the pulpit he is as good a man
physically as was Jack Johnson him.
self.
Will Fight Till He'll Freezes Over.
Il am yours truly, Jack Johnson.
How do you like it? If you like it or
don't like it, don't care
Il expect to stay here and fight you
till hell freezes over, and then fight
you on nine feet of ice. You're lot
of low down dogs. You're black and
evil-hearted devils. These are some
of the verbal wallops the pastor is
charged with having jabbed into the
ribs of his congregation on numerous
occasions, the petition says.
And its getting worse, according to
the petitioners.
Elected From Church.
The crisis was reached recently
when Anderson expelled from the
church several members without au-
thority," the petition stated and re-
fused to allow them to enter the
church or participate in religious SER
vices
The deacons didn't have a chance
to assert themselves for the pastor
pocketed the keys, retired to his home
and whenever he felt the spirit move
him to call meeting he did so, other
wise he let the congregation suffer
along without spiritual guidance un-
til he got ready to call them together,
1t is charged. Other charges in the
petition are nuisance and menace.
HE has threatened to do bodily harm
to the members Of the church. He
has made of himself and the pulpit of
the church, common nuisance and
constitutes a menace to the public
peace and health by his constant chal-
lenge to combat. He threatens to
destroy the church and the people. He
is violent and arbitrary. He usurps
the authority of the deacons and re-
fuses to allow them to perform their
duties. He wrongfully receives and
takes money of the church and ap-
propriates it to his own use He clos
es and locks the doors. He is guilty
of conduct unbecoming to a gentle
man and preacher"
The petitioners asked for court
order restraining the pastor from con-
tinuing the acts they charge him with
committing.
Judge Guy F. Nelson in district
court granted a temporary restrain
ing order and set the hearing for Fri
day morning.
