And Bechh0efer
SeekRe-electi0n
District Court Judges Due Vot.
er's Support In Coming
Election

Judge Richard d. O'Brien was
born, reared. and educated in st.
Paul. He graduated from the Uni
versity of Minnesota and was admit
ed to practice in 1900. He was i'm
made a member of the law
firm of c. D. and r. ID. O'Brien. He
engaged in general practice until
1906. when he was elected County
Attorney, the first time. His natural
ability and the experience which he
gained as practitioner, particularly
fitted him for that office. Being quite
young man for so important an Of
flee he had quite task on his hands
to maintain the high standards set
by some Of his predecessors, among
whom were such brilliant minds as
the Hon. Justice Pierce Butler of the
United States Supreme Court, Samuel
Anderson and others. Mr.. O'Brien's
record for the sixteen years that he
served in that office, is second to
none. In that period he represented
Ramsey County in more than six
thousand cases, civil and criminal,
involving litigation of every kind and
description. This wide experience TAX
en- together with Mr.. O'Brien's kind
ly nature and pleasant disposition
qualities him splendidly for the office
which he now holds and hopes to re-
tain.
Judge Charles Bechhoefer was born
in Woodbury.. Pa, January 1st, 1864.
He is a graduate of the University Of
Michigan and was admitted to prac-
tice in Minnesota in July 1885 and
was associated with J. B. and w. H.
Sanborn for several years. He then
opened his own office and has prac-
ticed continually ever since. His prac-
tice was always a very general one.
He practiced in all the courts from
the Justice Court to the highest court
in the land, the United States Su-
preme Court. With him law was
profession and not a business. He was
a tireless worker and toiler as a
lawyer always a student. Besides be-
ing the peoples lawyer he had the
reputation of being the lawyers law
yer. His opinions and advice were
sought by lawyers old and young. He
practiced law to prevent litigation.
He is universally recognized as a
judicial minded man, with ability to
be strictly impartial and just. His
wide experience and liberal education
are a guarantee to the community.
He has served on the bench since
January 3rd, 1923.

In the coming election our voters
will notice the name of Frank w.
Matson, candidate for reelection as
Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sioner on the Republican Ticket.
Our readers and many of our
friends need no introduction to Mr..
Matson. Preceding his election to his
present office he was Commissioner
of Public Safety. During that term of
his administration Mr.. Matson advo-
Gated, freely. justice to all regard
less of their race, creed, or color.
With every situation that confronted
him land they were numerous and
varied) he dealt fair and square. nev-
er taking into consideration that he
might be criticized by outsiders, his
sole thought was fair play and jus
tice.
Just a year ago last May Mr.. Mat
son was primary instrumental in hav-
ing one of our men. Patrolman HON.
er Coins (who was temporarily sus-
pended) reinstated and the ban of
suspension removed with no reduc-
ton in his salary. This was accom-
plished through the efforts and in
fuence of the Bulletin-Appeal and
leading Dale and University Ave.
merchants who appealed to Mr.. Mat
son in behalf OF Patrolman Coins. A
motorist who had violated the traffic
rule was arrested by Patrolman
Coins; the former claiming that he
would never be brought into court, IL
Coins succeeded In arresting him he
would be suspended. The matter
came up before Chief Sommers who
imediately placed Coins on suspen-
sion. A rigid investigation was start
ed which ended in the restoration of
Patrolman Coins to the force, thanks
to the splendid cooperation of Mr..
Matson with The Bulletin-Appeal and
Messrs. H. Egbert, Archie Cannon,
DR.. Geo. Snyder, G. L. Peterson, A.
w. Gostel, Ed. Wagner and James
Webb who comprised the committee
of merchants.
A man of his calibre and principle
surely deserves our support, let us
re-elect him on November 4th by an
overwhelming majority and show our
appreciation for his loyalty.

Miss Gertrude Brown, Head Resi-
dent of the Phyllis Wheatley House is
a graduate of Scotia Women's Col,
lege, Concord, North Carolina, and
also having post graduate work at
Hampton Institute, Cheyney Insti-
tute, A. and r. College, Greensboro,
North Carolina, and the Community
Service School in Chicago. She has at
tended the National Social Workers
Conference for the past three years.
Miss Brown comes to us highly rec
commended having taught In the Pub
lie School in Charlotte, North Caro-
lima for six years, and after having
charge of Modern Community
House in the above named place also
the supervision of the Travellers Aid
Desk at the Union Station until she
was called to Dayton, Ohio, for a
three months assignment, where she
remained for five years until she was
called here. Records show that she
did a most splendid piece of work in
Dayton. Her work is not only known
through the State of Ohio but many
states. Though other cities were en-
deavoring to secure the services of
Miss Brown, but Minneapolis through
the w. C. A. was most fortunate in
obtaining her services.
We have a capable young woman
as the head resident of Phyllis
Wheatley House and we want to give
her our untiring support that she
may be able to give to the work her
best. Let the entire community
pledge one hundred percent services
to Phyllis Wheatley that she may
have one of the best programs in the
country.
Much credit is due the w. c. A.
for its attempt to give the colored
people the best in its power.
Lack of space prevents us from
giving a detailed account of the for
NAL opening of this community monu-
ment created by the goodness of the
w. C. A. headed by that wonderful
woman, Mrs. James Page.

COMMUNITY CHEST
HALF FILLED after
THREE DAY DRIVE
Workers i'm All Parts of City
Canvas For Annual Chest
Fund

The annual community Cnest drive
started with a bang Tuesday when
more than 1000 workers began the
drive to fill the fifth annual Commun-
ity Chest. The campaign this year is
for a total of $65O,OO for the sup
port of the Chests social agencies. Up
to Thursday noon $390,000 or more
than half the total had been pledged.
What We Get
"Do we get anything out of it,, is a
question often asked by members of
our colored group concerning the
Community Chest.
The answer is "Yes." We get not
only what we put in it, but much
more, for the work of the Chest is
based on need rather than contribu-
tions.
Fifty-two social agencies make up
the Community Chest, and among
them are three whose work is confin-
ed wholly to colored people-Crispus
Attucks Home for the Aged, Y. w.
C. A. Club Center and st. Paul Ur-
ban League.
Crispus Attucks Home
No one will question the worth of
such a place as Crispus Attucks
Home, which takes care of the aged
and infirm providing wholesome food
and shelter in their advancing years.
In the year 1923-24, the Chest al
lotted $500 to maintain the home.
Y. w. G. A. Club Center
Here during eight months Of the
present year, many young girls and
women have engaged in helpful act
ivities. Glasses in music, basketry
and etiquette, clubs for grade and
high school girls, branch library
and many other kinds of work and
play have served to bring large num-
bers into touch with the better things
of life. without the stimulating effect
of the Y. w. c. A., there young wo-
men would have been exposed to per-
nicious and often degrading influenc-
es. The Chest appropriated $4,000 for
this work.
st. Paul Urban League
A part of the work of the Urban
League is to find opportunity for en-
ployment for colored people. In the
first eight months of 1924, nearly
500 men and women applied to the
Urban League for work. More than
r40 were placed in jobs. If each per-
son averaged a wage Of $40 a week,
this means $4,000 a week, or 500
a month, was added to the income of
colored people through the efforts of
the Urban League. The Urban League
received $3.50 from the Chest.
Thus for the support of thees three
agencies, we received $S.050 from
the Chest, while our contributions
to the Chest were about $4,000 last
year.
The Other Forty-nine
But the work of the Community
Chest among colored people is not
confined to these three agencies.
Nearly all of the other agencies serve
us in some way. The United Chari-
ties, Neighborhood House, the Baby
Welfare Association, the Salvation
Army. the Preventorium-all render
valuable service to colored people.
without these agencies the care Of
many unfortunates would fall direct
ly upon us. and the burden would
be more than we could bear.
The Challenge
AS citizens of st. Paul, we are
faced with the challenge of civic res
possibility. We are asked to carry our
share of the load. AS participants in
the benefits of the Chest, our duty
then is to, give all that we can that
this work might go on. HAVE A
HEART!

.CUDDY DEMARCO ID
 SHOW WARES AGAIN
Mill Be Featured. on George
 Mullisan's Gard

It's long time since a lad with nose like Tommy o'Brien's and a real 1rishman, has stepped into the boxing limelight, especially in the lightweight class, which Is bossed so thoroughly by Benny Leonard. The champion has said that he knows his day is coming when he will pass into pugilistic oblivion like other famous champions before him, because the older Benny gets the nearer he approaches his boxing Waterloo. If any lightweight has sprung up in the past year or two that really threatens Benny's throne it's O'Brien, who meets Cuddy De- Marco in the 12-round main bout of George Mulligan's opening indoor card next Friday night, Oct. 10th, in the Field street armory, Water bury.
 O'Brien was born in Texas but spent most of his early days in Los Angeles and now he divides his time between Milwaukee, Chicago and New York, being great favorite in these cities. He is 24 years old and weighs 135 pounds ringsida He has been boxing seven years but 1t is only recently that he developed a real knockout punch and all the confidence that goes with it. Tommy beat Pinkie Mitchell, dropping him twice; fought an even bout with Johnny Dundee, dropping him for a count of seven; whipped Johnny Mendelsohn twice, dropping him five times in the second bout, feat that even Benny Leonard could not &C., complish. O'Brien outpointed Ever Hammer and knocked out Sailor Pacillo in nine rounds, Elino Flores in two, k. o.'d Tony Dennis twice, one in the first and the second time in the third round. He also whip ped Johnny Scheuer and Joe Jew son twice, knocked out Pete August, beat Basil Galiano and Johnny Reis- Ter, and trounced Cuddy DeMarco, flooring him for the count of nine in the sixth round.
 O'Brien visited Australia about year ago and set up an impressive knockout record while circulating among the kangaroos. With such an impressive record, it is little wonder, then that he was able to beat De- Marco in their last meeting and ac- counts for the fact that the Pitts- burgh battler is so anxious to get even with him again, chance that will be afforded him next Friday night.
 O'Brien Is tall and thin and is real war veteran, his leg being shat tered by shrapnel, but spared be- cause of a remarkable operation by a French surgeon. His leg does not bother him any in getting around the ring with the same alacrity ana speed he always had.
