Help Asked.
They are asking all fraternal or
ders, Sunday schools, church clubs,
literary clubs, civic clubs, whether
composed of men or women, or both,
to send. two representatives to this
Big Committee meeting. They are
especially urging that these two rep
resentatives consist of the presiding
officer and the secretary of the organ
ization, If possible. OF course, If the
representatives are unable to attend,
then they will, expect them to send
proxies.
The purpose of this Big Committee
meeting is to outline some definite
plans of availing ourselves of the ad-
vantages of the recent survey of en-
ployment conditions made by the
N. A. A. C. p. The survey furnishes
material and opportunity for excel
lent results If the necessary follow
up" methods are applied.
Urban League Function.
No one organization except the Ur--
ban League can properly carry on
this work of finding adequate employ
ment for the unemployed. Since
there is no Urban League at present,
every organization should be willing
to do its bit in this pioneer work un-
til an Urban League does happily
come to the rescue. Mr.. Robert w.
Bagnall, director of branches of the
N. A. A. c. p, will be present and
will make brief talk. Mr.. Bagnall
is very conversant with employment
conditions in the various big cities,
and his observations and suggestions
will be Of great help to us in the solu-
ton of the local problems.

SEP PARAT|ON OF
MINISTER, Wife
CAUSES COMMENT
South Carolina Paper Aver For
mer Twin Cities Woman Will
Teach in Baltimore.

The separation of Rev. j. A. My
ers and Miss Rosalie Brown has
brought almost blood in high circles.
A refined, cultured, trained and one
among the leading school teachers
of the South, married Rev. j. A.
Myers of Georgetown, S. c., with a
hope to live as Isaac and Rebecca.
But it was not long before she had
found that she had married the
wrong man. With bitter tears and
sacrifice, she tried to follow him to
the end.
Their union was blessed with two
children, boy and girl. Death
Angel took to Heaven the little boy,
Leroy Myers, the first born. The sec
ond was little Lorraine Myers, one Of
the most beautiful little girls that
one would wish to see. 1t seems
a sin and more than heart rending
to know that Rev. and Mrs. Myers
stood before the Judge of st. Paul.
Minn., and heard the words from the
lips, THAT you are no long
er man and wife," AS Judge, he pro-
nounced that the mother should take
the custody of this beautiful girl
and that the father may return to
his own tradition elsewhere. The
hearing was on February the eighth
before the Judge G. M. Orr. Miss
Rosalie Brown has returned and is
now in the city of Charleston and
expects to take q training course
soon In Baltimore and accept school
there that was offered to her.

the murder. All were released but
six, who were later released by Judge

vital facts that had been ignored by
the daily paper or was considered
undesirable information.

Investigation Made.

Investigation Made.
Discrepancies in the testimony of
Leo Mogol, 9-year-old son of the mur-
dered woman, prompted investigation
to gather more facts on the case as it
appeared that the dead woman and
her assailant knew each other. That
robbery could not have been the mo-
tive since the victim offered her
purse, which was refused, also a fur
coat she was wearing, which was also
refused. The statement by the daily
papers that an assault was committed
was found to be untrue. There was
then the fact that deliberate murder
was the eintent. On securing sufficient
evidence that there were things not
uncovered by the police pertaining to
the case, more strenuous investiga-
tions began which led to the informa-
tion that parties had seen the mur-
dered woman a few minutes before
the killing. Further investigation
brought to light the parties who al
legged they saw the woman, her son,
and the unknown man. Mrs. Creigh-
ton expressed her willingness to the
Bulletin-Appeal representative what
had occurred. Mr.. Herndon and At
torney Hamilton, together with De-
tective Vail, Immediately interviewed
Mrs. Creighton.
Incident Related.
Mrs. Creighton told the following
story: Friday evening, about $3.50
or 9:45, was sitting before this win
dow (the window faced the street,
with a gentleman. The room was
lighted by an arc light from the
street. We were talking when a
woman wearing a fur coat and small
hat had walked slowly past; she was
accompanied by small boy who held
her by the hand. She apparently
was waiting for some one as she hesi-
tated and looked back. Presently a
man wearing a fur-collared brown
overcoat, hat creased in the center
walked past. He shook the snow
from his collar and Joined the wom-
an and little boy. They stopped al
most directly in front Of my window
and began conversing. They stood
there for moment, then walked
my yard and proceeded to
go into the alley. The gentleman
made a remark that they were of the
same nationality (Jewish). The fire
In the furnace was getting low, so we
then went into the basement to put in
some fuel.
I'VE were in the basement when a
noise like a sudden bump was heard.
The noise was round and full, but we
paid no attention and returned up
stairs. About ten minutes later the
police car arrived, then the morgue
car. The gentleman went outside and
asked one Of the detectives what was
wrong and was informed that wom-
an had been killed in the alley. He
went to the spot and returned. stating
that the woman was the same who
had gone across my yard with the
man and little boy"

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. S.-A. G.
Sorlic, Covernor-elect of North Da-

statement:
II am convinced that we Nave
now, once for all, eliminated bitter
partisan strife from North Dakota
and that we can cooperate harmon
iously for the welfare of the state.
Every mothers son of US in
North Dakota are farmers, so we
must all pull together to secure for
our products what they are fairly
worth. We shall be growing wheat
for 40 years to come and for that
reason we should get, fair value
for our wheat. In this state more
over we have super wheat, which
should bring from 25c to 40 cents
more per bushel than the soft wheat
raised in more southern districts.
Until now our wheat has been used
in Minneapolis for blending but
from now on let us see to it that
the buyers of gluten wheat realize
that North Dakota is the only state
IN which they can get it,"
Lets begin to sell our ideas to
other people instead of having others
sell theirs to US. All that has been
generally known about us in North
Dakota SO far is that We are an
archists, Bolshevists and free lovers
and then people on the outside have
heard about our snowstorms.
"We have the Bank of North .Da-
kota and the state mill and elevator;
they are part of our state institu-
tions and they can and should be
made success. Above all they
should be operated for the benefit
of the people of North Dakota as
we are all interested in North Da-
kota. We are all farmers directly
or indirectly.
II am not in favor Of any addi-
tional experiments along the lines
of state ownership at this time but
] hope the other members of the
Industrial Commission, whoever they
may be, will lend their cooperation
to make these institutions a sue
