SMALL CROWD At
URBAN LEAGUE
MASS MEETING
National and Branch Secretaries
Address Meet at Pilgrim
Baptist Church.

A small but representative audi
ence attended the mass meeting at
Pilgrim Baptist church Thursday
evening of last week to listen to the
interesting address made by Eugene
Kinckie Jones, secretary of the Ma
tional Urban league. Attorney w. T.
Francis presided at the meeting,
which proved both interesting and
entertaining.
Elmer A. Carter, secretary of the
st. Paul branch as the first speaker,
outlined the work of the Urban
league in this city since its inception
more than year ago. Mr.. Carter
said that in order to improve the eco
nomic and Industrial conditions OF
the migrants survey and study of
the community in which the largest
number live is necessary.
T. Arnold Hill. executive secretary
of the Chicago Urban league and or
ganizer of the league branch here,
gave short talk and cited instances
of the workings of the league in Chi
cago.
Eugene X. Jones, the principal
speaker Of the evening, gave a very
interesting talk on the work of the
league in many of the large cities and
explained the difference between the
Urban league and the N. A. A. c. P.
Offers Program.
'The Urban league does not offer
a paneacea for the various interracial
Ills" said Mr.. Jones, but it does Of
fer program. II purposes to make
coiored people the best possible citi-
zens that can be made. In all our
work we try to see both sides, always
inviting the cooperation of the white
people. 1t is my belief that Jim
Crow people make Jim Crow con-
ditions. Therefore new migrants are
a problem. One can estimate just
how great is the problem when $500
males have migrated to Chicago since
January 1.
'If the people do not use the facili-
ties placed here by organizations
tending to improve conditions the
time will come when they will not be
able to-" said Mr.. Jones.
Several selections by the choir al
ternated by the speeches and a vocal
solo, "'Tis June" by Mrs. Hattie

keeper of a Deadwood gambling

The mans lack of suspicion and his
readiness to accept an intruder as a

Rusty must be in the immediate neigh

discover no body of men approaching
the cabin it was disquieting to observe
there were no horses in sight.
The man In the cellar had arrived
on foot; and he must have come from
the nearby wood or else he would have
been seen from one Of the two win

that Rusty might be waiting to re-
