CHURCHES FACE Shortage
Of EDUC'D NEGRO Ministers
according TO GOVTREPORT
Preston News service)

Washington, d. C-The demand for
at least 1,5O0 educated Negro minis
ters yearly in the United States is
being supplied by only about 100 Ne
gro men having any sort of eccles-
teal training, with the result that the
Negro churches of America face a
serious shortage of educated or even
trained ministers each year, accord
ing to statistics complied at Howard
University, under the supervision of
the Department of the Interior.
There are about $4,000 Negro
churches in the United States of all
denominations. Last year less than
100 Negro men were graduated from
any kind of training school for min
isters and of this number less than
ten were college graduates. The aver
age school training among the others
was about one and half years of
grade school work This shortage of
preachers is illustrated by the fact
that there is now one white minister
to every SS9 white people in the coun-
try.
There are large number of min
isterial training schools in the coun-
try, but few of the young men, WHO
complete college course are inclined
to take theological training. Among
the Negro schools maintaining high
grade theological departments are:
Lincoln University Wilberforce Uni
versity, Howard University, Virginia
Union University. Livingstone Col
lege; Cannon Theological Seminary
and others. Just why the college
trained young Negro does not enter
the ministry is problem 1t is said
that the most serious drawback con-
fronting the Negro in America to day
is the lack of training on the part of
rs per cent of its ministers.

program Several characters of ma
tional repute are invited. A picture

The process consists of trans

DR.. Voronoff hopes to exhibit

RISES IN DEFENSE
OF old TUSKEGEE

Lake Junaluska, N. C.-(Special)
The Social Service Commission of
the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, in annual session here
last week, gave out a statement ex-
pressing appreciation of Tuskegee In
stitute and declaring that any inter-
ference with the institution would
be a lasting disgrace to Southern
civilization" The statement which
was given wide publicity by the AS
sociated Press, was as follows:
''Inasmuch as there has come to us
through reliable newspaper reports
and private sources of undoubted re-
liability information that the inter.
ests of the great institution for col
ored people at Tuskegee, Ala, are
seriously menaced by threats of or
ganized interference,
Resolved, that this commission
put on record our appreciation of the
incalculable value of that institution
for the training of our colored fel-
low citizens, and declare our unal-
terable conviction that any invasion
of its rights or interference with the
orderly pursuit of it's lawful and
benevolent labors would be a calam-
ity to the institution and a lasting
disgrace to our Southern civilization.
The action of the commission of
which Bishop James Cannon, Jr., is
chairman, was called forth by the re-
cent parade of Ku Klux Klan at Tus-
kegee and by other efforts to intimi-
date the institute, because of it's
supposed attitude in the controversy
relative to the new government hos
pital for colored veterans.
The statement is considered very
significant as representing the lead
ership of one of the greatest South
ern denominations with a member
ship of 2,500,000. 1t indicates the pre-
vailing attitude of the best people OF
the South toward Tuskegee and other
Negro institutions.

preston News servicel


Little Rock, Ark.-Henry L. Dorsey
was found guilty of having assaulted
young woman, whose name was not
divulged, last Thursday afternoon in
Criminal Court and sentenced to 8
years in the State Penitentiary. The
jury was out less than thirty minutes.
Dorsey waived the time allowed be-
fore the passing of the sentence and
was sentenced by Judge Wade inn
mediately following his conviction.
Dorsey is a prominent proprietor
of garage here. He was charged
with attacking a prominent young
society woman in his garage here on
May 5, last. 1t is said that the crime
was committed when the young lady
went into his garage during a heavy
rain storm During the trial it was
brought out in the testimony that the
woman had known Dorsey for a num-
Der of years and as far as she knew
at the time she sought shelter from
the storm in his place of business
she would be perfectly safe. She told
the court that Dorsey was in the
garage alone when she went in out
of the storm and that he invited her
into his office, locked the door behind
them and put the key in his pocket,
and then like a wild animal attacked
her. Screams for help failed to bring

Kansas City, Mo.-There was more
in the sudden, unannounced marriage
of Prof" Peter Crutchfield of West

student there, and the hasty by night
flight of Lawrence Patton to Colorado
and the immediate preparations for
a trip home by June Smith, a student
at Western, on the day before COM

first be suspected.
Crutchfield, who is storekeeper at
Western University, Quindaro, Kans.,
and Patton, who is assistant instruc-
tor in electricity and engineering at
Western, lured nineteen-year-old Mae
Bridgeforth and seventeenyear-oId
June Smith, both students, to lonely
spot in the woods behind the girls

Planned Act For Days
According to students, both Pat
ton and Crutchfield had planned the
escapade for days in advance of its
happening. On the morning of the
incident Patton and Crutchfield were
heard planning with the girls, in a
store near the school. Following this
talk, Crutchfield and Patton, who, be-
cause Of their capacity, had no re-
strictions on their movements about
the campus, we're seen to go across
the chicken farm down in the lonely
woods near the river.
Within half an hour they were fol
lowed by the girls. They were stopped
in their course by a teacher who
warned them to go to their dormitory.
According to his statement, the girls
turned as if to obey him, but took a
roundabout way and went to the
woods, where, in the company of the
men, they were later discovered by
students and two of the instructors
of the school. -
The girls attempted flight when
they were discovered. Surprised in
their act, Patton and Crutchfield as
sumed meek and humiliating ex-
preston.
Crutchfield Resigns
Crutchfield Immediately handed in
his resignation. Patton, who is mar
ried, first attempted to Smooth"
things over with President Peck, who
refused to hear him. Patton left about
midnight of the following night, leav-
ing the girl, June Smith, to suffer the
humiliation.
Mrs. G. Bridgeforth, who resides
here, is mother of the girl, she has
tened to the school when this news
reached her, and it is said that at the
point of revolver commanded
Crutchfield to marry her daughter.
Reluctantly he complied, but it is ru-

after the marriage, leaving for parts

TUSKEGEE AFFAIR IS.
NOT AS YET SETTLED.
BY LONG SHOT AYERS.

Birmingham, Ala.-The future poll
cy of the Veterans Bureau in regard
to the operation of the Tuskegee,
(Ala.) Veterans hospital with Ne
gro personnel rests on a determine
tion of whether the good faith of the
federal government is involved
through promises made by the white
committee of the Treasury depart
ment. According to Director Hines,
for the present the hospital will be
conducted with the present staff of
white doctors and Negro nurses, but
the process of selecting Negro ply
sicians, ready to put them in when
a definite policy is decided, will con-
tinue.
Find committe Made Big
Promises
There seems no doubt, said Hines.
that the white committee made
promises when land was donated for
the institution, that it would be uD-
der the control of white personnel.
Il recognize that possibly the CON
mittee exceeded it's powers in max
ink such promises, and I, therefore,
will move cautiously and seek to de-
termine just what was meant The
Tuskegee Institute is manned entire
ly by Negro personnel, but has a
board Of trustee composed of 16 white
men and four Negroes. 1t may be
that a similar form of control of the
hospital was contemplated. At any
rate the citizens committee at Tuske-
gee seems to have a promise in writ
ing which it was said if disregarded
might involve the governments good
faith"
