Last Sunday the c. NJ. f. congrega-
ton was woefully disappointed in the
failure of Bishop \. G. CleaveS to be
present per the previous announce
ment. However, all became better
satisfied on learning that messages
had been sent telling of his inability
to be present. An air of extreme sol
emnity fell upon the entire congregg
ton when Rev. C. Il. Chapman an.
nounced that Bishop Cleaves had sent
him message to the effect that he
was being threatened with pneumonia,
and that he had been advised to re-
main home, and ii trip out anywhere
mt this particular point would prove
fatal.
The hour in the Sunday School was
fraught with that interest character
istic of real live wire Sunday
School. Mr.. Allen Collins, the ever
alert and enterprising superintendent,
was at his post of duty; and left no
stone unturned to the end that the
Sunday School might close out the
wear as is in keeping with a real up
to-date Sunday School.
Tomorrow (Sunday) is the last day
of this conference year, as the pastor
will leave for the Annual Conference
at Richmond, Mo-, next Monday. To
morrow Rev. DIR. |. $. Powell, of the
Mt Pleasant Baptist Church, will de-
liver the message ut 3 30 p. m. DIR.
Powell will bring his splendid choir,
and fine representation from his
church to aid in getting ready for the
Conference. DIR. |. 5. Wilson, of
Campbell A. NJ. E. Church, has also
promised to be present with some of
his people to aid in the services. AT
{ 30 tomorrow, Rev. G. Il. Chapman,
minister in charge will deliver his
last message of the yenr-and Incl
dentally of his administration as pas
tor here. Everybody is requested to
come out to these services, and aid in
getting ready for conference.

A CHALLENGE TO LOYALTY
NJ. A. A. c. p. to Renew Fight for
Release of Members of Twenty
Fourth Infantry

At the Fourteenth Annual Confer
ence just held at Kansas City, Kansas,
one of the most interesting features
was the visit of 55S delegates and
members to Leavenworth prison,
where we met and talked with the
fifty-four former members of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry who have
been incarcerated in the federal
prison at Leavenworth since 1917
for alleged participation in the
Houston, Texas, riots. The men are
clean-cut, straightforward and up
standing characters, most of them
very young, who have been forced to
serve more than six years in the
prison for the crime of daring to de-
fend themselves against Il Texas mob.
Every delegate who was present left
the prison with the determination to
do all in his power to secure the re-
lease of these men as soon as possible.
During the next three weeks Den
yer citizens will be called upon to do
their bit toward aiding these men by
signing the petitions that will be cir
culated by the Denver Branch. The
National Office is calling for 100000
names on the petitions to be presented
TO President Coolidge. There should
be no difficulty in securing ten times
that number We are sure Denver
and Colorado will nObly meet the chal-
lenge. Let us regard it as our part
to so nearly reach the called for num-
her that it will be easy for the rest
of the country to go beyond the marx.
The petitions are to be turned in ana
blessed at Il monster religious service
at New Hope Baptist Church, Sunday
afternoon, November 11th, at 3 p. m.
The National Office has requested
that Sunday, Nov II, be observed as
Houston Martyrs Day in all colored
churches throughout the U. 5. FOL
lowing this. the petitions are to be
sent TO the President.

mined to live up to the full letter of

of co-workers, II. Cash, John McFad-
den, Milton Alleyne, Geo. w. Carse, w.
II. Spriggs and A. w. Pendley hardly
need an introduction to the general

LAWS REGARDING STOCK
SELLING

To the Editor:
l have received great many inquir-
les from people both in and out of the
state of Colorado regarding stock sell
ing companies which are offering stock
and other securities for sale without
first having complied with the proNl-
sions of the Securities Act, Colorado
so-called Blue Sky Law"
| am investigating these violations
with view to inStitutnS vigorous
prosecution against such vioIators.
For the benefit of those who are ig-
norant of the existence of such law
wish to call attention to the following
provisions of the act:
The act provides that it shall be uil-
lawful for any concern to sell, ottet
for sale, solicit to make any contract
or agreement for future sale of any Sc
curity unless it has within twelve
months next preceding filed IN
the office of the secretary of state
prospectus containing certain inforlna-
ton prescribed in the act and that the
purchaser of any security of Il concern
which has complied with the act can
RELY on any and all statements made
in the prospectus.
Ii further provides that in case any
statement made in the prospectus shall
be false or fraudulent the person ac-
curing the security can rescind the
whole transaction and recover dam
ages for any losses sustained by rea-
son of the transaction.
1t also provides that it shall be un-
lawful for any concern to advertise by

vertisement or any other form of ad-
vertisng. or for II newspaper 10 pup
Iish an advertisement of securities ror
sale by any company that has not COM
piled with the securities act. And II

tus WAS filed and that it is open for
public inspection in the office of the

fer to furnish To any person requesting
it a copy of the prospectus.
The term security" as defined in
the act is very broad in its scope and
includes nearly every form of security
and provides for certain securities to
be exempted.
1t is also provided that each secur-
ity issued by ii concern which has conf
piled with the securities act shall con-
tain statement TO the effect that 1t
has done so.
The penalty provided for a violation
of the act is Il fine of $1,000 or two
years in Jail and $1,000 or five years
for Il second 0ffenSP.
1t is my desire that the people OK
Colorado may get the full benefit of
the administration and enforcement OF
this act and that they will feel at lib
erty to write me regarding any of the
provisions of the act.
In order that this may be accom-
plished | earnestly solicit your coop
Grafton in giving this letter as much
publicity as possible.
Thanking you for any assistance you
may give in this matter, l am.
Very truly yours,
CARL :. MILLTKEN.
