MIAMI WOMEN COMING
TO FLAGSTAFF JUNE 3-13

Miami women have this week ex-
pressed desire to take a more act
i've interest in helping Miami girls
to have those things which will make
them happier, healthier and wiser.
Rotaryanns after expressing such a
desire, appointed committee which
is already beginning to work for a
girls summer camp nearby in the
mountains. Women have often. been
heard to say in the last year that out
side of the schools and the churches,
the girls of Miami have no organiza-
ton in which they may express them
selves in wholesome activity.
They have wished for Girl Reserve
clubs, Girl Scouts or some other or
ganization such as are found in so
many places. Isn't it welcome piece
of news then that the Camp Fire
Girls, selected by the state board of
vocational education, as the very best
of the girls organizations, have been
actually launched in the local schools
Two Camp Fire groups have recent
ly been established-high school girls
under the leadership of Miss Agnew
and Mexican girls of the vocational
classes at Inspiration Additional
school under the leadership of Miss
Curnutt. Picnics and meetings have
already been held. A meeting of these
two leaders with Miss Theresa An
derson, state Camp Fire leader, was
arranged not long ago by Miss Mary
Phelan, county school superintendent,
who is deeply interested in Camp Fire
work
A splendid opportunity open to any
woman interested, was told of by Mrs.
Phelan. It is a course to be given at
Flagstaff, June 3 to 13, this year,
under the direction of a national
Camp Fire leader. Hikes will be ta-
ken and all the regular features of
camp life enjoyed. Anyone taking the
course can qualify as a "Camp Fire
guardian" The cost of the course,
including house, food, instruction and
everything is $50 for the ten days.

Patterson, eolored, was sentenced TO

THE CASE OF "BOSSY.'
(Richmond, Va, Times Dispatch

(Richmond, Va, es-Dispatch.-
Our northern brothers who mourn
and bemoan the injustices inflicted up
| ON the colored people of the South by
the heartless descendants of those who
were once Shareholders might do well
to consider the case of "Bossy" Patter-
son, a Negro twice convicted of wur-
der in Virginia
According to plain, uncolored news
story published in The Times-Dispatch
of Friday, Bossy was tried on the
charge of having killed merchant of
Petersburg; he was found guilty and
sentenced to death. His counsel appeal
ed aud a writ Of error was granted. On
the second trial he was again convict
cd and sentenced to death; but his r'un
SCI alleged as err that Negroes we're
not permitted to sit as jurors. Anotne.
appeal was taken, this time on that
point. The Assistant Acknowledgement
of Virginia, Leon NJ Bazile, contended
that the point had not been property
raised. His to..,ention was sustained
by tie Suprel.e Court of Appeals of Vir
ginia, and the Negro remained under
sentence of death-he was to have been
electrocuted on August s.
There the case might well have rest
ed-even in some of the Northern
States whose people so bitterly con
denim the Southern people for inhuman
ity toward Negroes. But it happened
that Josiah D. Hank, an eminent viz
GINA lawyer, had become interested i'll
Bossy's case, and had announced to the
Assistant Attorney-General his inten-
ton to appeal to the Supreme Court Of
the United States. No formal motion
had been made, no step had been taken
not even any formal notification had
been given the Assistant Attorney Gen
eral, when Mr. Hank suddenly died =.
According to every technicality, Bos-
sy should have been put to death on
, Friday: he had been sentenced to death
! the Supreme Court of Virginia had sus
tanned the lower court, and his counsel
had merely declared informally that he
purposed appealing to the Supreme
Court Of the United States. But the
Governor of Virginia has reprieved Bos
sy until October 9Th because the Assist
| ant AttorneyIGeneral Of Virginia has
Informed him that if Bossys counsel
had lived he would have appealed to
| the highest court in the United States.
and because both the Governor and TIE
Assistant Attorney General are intense
ly DESTROYS that this Negro. convicted
, of murder though he is. shall have
|! every possible chance for his life. g.
That is the way in which we of the
South display OIL" hatred of the NegrI
and our inhumanity toward him. 1t is
wondered if the Governor and Attorney
General of Connecticut or Vermont or
Massachusetts, say. would display their
love and tender feeling of equality Ill
the same way. :. -- ~. ~,
