Abyssinian Church
Calls DIR. Powell
Pastor for Lifetime
Unusual Tribute to Work of
Leading Baptist Divine
by Members of Con-
gregation

The Rev. DIR. A. Clayton Powell,
by vote of some eight hundred men,
bers of Abyssinian Baptist Church,
has been given a lifetime call to the
pastorate of that church,
This action was taken at a regular
monthly business meeting held in the
new church at 40 West 13Sth street
on Wednesday evening, May 16.
The suggestion came from S. R.
Skerrett, president of the Friendly
Society, an auxiliary of the church,
which has contributed some $4,000
towards the new building. Mr.. Skier
rett told the meeting that he thought
the members ought to show apprecia,
ton to the pastor in a more tangible
form than by simply making dona-
tions or giving a trip to Europe; that
having so nearly completed his great
task in providing a magnificent new
home for the congregation, the body
should elect Dr. Powell as pastor for
life.
The membership present responded
with enthusiasm, rising to their feet
and demanding that the matter be
put before them for action. William
H Taylor, chairman of the board of
deacons, promptly put the suggestion
in form of resolution and the peo-
pie with one accord acclaimed DR..
Powell as pastor of Abyssinian Bap-
tist Church for the remainder of his
life.
The exhibition of love, esteem and
consideration moved the pastor to
tears, while the members shouted for
joy.-New York Age.

the scene of two riots early today
when officers sought to arrest sus-

two men had been arrested for disOr-

lest of battles was Gordon avenue, and
it was here that Ed Walters was killed
by bullet which entered his skull. A
riot call had to be sent in to stop the
free for all fight, which was only
stopped by the appearance of reserves
with levelled automatics. The other
mob scene was occasiOned when reve-
nue. officers attempted to stage n raid
on some disorderly houses in the
neighborhood of Third and X streets,
Northwest. About forty shots, min
gled with the crash of thrown bottles,
dishes, plates, bricks and variety of
other missiles gave evidence of the
fight. Three policemen We're severely
cut, two young colored men badly used
up, and about dozen of the partici-
pants finally lodged in the station
house. Several women were also ar
rested in other sections of, the city in
various raids, one having to have her
wounds dressed at a hospital. In the
raids the police got large quantity
