iveness of the work and to provide a

of the Executive Board when all col

members of the League. Member
ship entities one to vote for the Ex-
ecutive Board and to be eligible for

Urban League, II w. 7th St., or
through members of the Executive
Board. n
Mr.. Carter in statement to the
Bulletin-Appeal representative, said:
'The service of the Urban League
is free, and yet many men and women
whom we have aided either by get
ting them jobs or rendering other
service have felt that they would like
to be a part of an organization which
is doing so much in behalf of the col
ored people. For that reason and
because It is the desire of the Execu-
tive Board that every colored person
shall have a vote in the election of
the Executive Board of the Urban
League, we are inviting men and
women of st. Paul to become mem
bers of the organization"

Zenith City
Woman Visits
Twin Cities

Mrs. Susan B. Evans, 1927 South
street, Duluth, Mimi, arrived in the
Twin Cities last week to attend a
meeting of the Woman's Republican
Club of Minnesota, which held a ses-
sion at the Y. w. c. A. Monday aft
ernoon.
Mrs. Evans is chairman of the 'Divi-
sion of Colored Women for Mime
sofa, having been appointed to this
Office last fall by Miss Halle @.
Brown. National Chairman. The OBJ
ject of the organization is to stimu-
late interest in political activities
among colored women.
The Republican National Commit
tee is made up of the various state
committees, and II is very necessary
for each state to keep alive its or
ganization. This medium gives the
women of the race an opportunity to
have a voice and participate in the
functioning Of the NATIONAL body. 1t
is educational also. as 1t provides
booklets and data on political matter
that few Women have knowledge of.
owing to the fact that suffrage has
been heretofore denied them. The
18th Amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution conferred full citizenship
rights upon women, and 1t is now
incumbent upon the sex to prepare
themselves for the exercise Of that
right.
Mrs. Evans was the guest of rela-
tives while in st. Paul, and left for
her home Monday night.

Natl Spiritual
Meet Ends With
Split of Races
Indignation Arose When ResOlu-

Convention for Creating a
Separate Body.
by Illustrated Press

New York, May S.-The National
Spiritual Convention of America was
officially chartered as a separate body
from the Caucasians, with Rev. John
r. White, pastor of the Universal
lSpiritualist Church of New York, as
the National President. The other
officers elected by the white national
body in Cleveland. Ohio. were Rev.
Sarah Harrington of Chicago, vice.
president: Mrs. c. w. Dennison of
Patterson, N. j., secretary: Mr..
George f. Smith, treasurer, and a
board of directors.
| There came parting of the ways
between the two races who consti-
tuted the National Body, at Los An
geles, when the resolution was passed
for the National President to call a
Colored Convention for the creating
of separate body, which now has
separated the two races.
A storm of indignation arose
among the coiored delegates from
both East and Middle West, and the
feeling ran high. 1t was openly as
serted in executive session by some
of the white officials that a separate
national organization for colored peo-
pie exclusively should be immediate

effort was made to carry its propa-

in convention form.
The New York and Middle West
colored delegations baked when the
matter was brought up in open ses-
sion, but the white officers compro-
missed and agreed to assist the col
ored organization financially and in
other material ways. The establish
ment of the separate Colored Nation
al Body for the colored spiritualist
churches in America was finally
agreed upon. The National Head
quarters has been established in New
York City.
The Rev. John r. White, president
of the Colored National Body, stated
to the Press Association last night
that the Colored National Body will
at once proceed to send representa-
tives and missionaries into the south
land. and begin to wage a campaign
against the mushroom churches and
fake mediums who are operating
lfraudulently.
The National Headquarters offices
will be located at 200 West 13Sth St.,
New York City.
Mr.. Jos. p. Whitwell of st. Paul,
the wholesale cigar and tobacco deal
er, made the call, as the national
president Of the National Spiritual
Association, and has proven his
Friendship and worth in selecting a
former resident Of st. Paul as the
national president for the colored or
ganization.

Horn in Arkansas
Mr. Gillespie was horn in Osceoia,
Ark. 49 years ago. His first ambition
in life was to become musician, as
he was violinist OF rare talent Then
he decided to take mp law and entered
the law school of Harvard university,
but financial difficulties compelled him
to abandon this idea
1t was then that he began his fight
for place in the world of business and
progressivencsS. After varied expert
ences in different ventures he adopted
the insurance business as his life's call
ing He was affiliated with several in
surance companies, mastering the busi-
ness in his climb.
Feeling himself perfected to start his
own company, he looked for assistance
financially from his friends. The late
George Holt and George Liebrandt,
president of the Lincoln State bank, and
always friend OF the Race, were his
main props. Aided by their backing he
laid the foundation for the Liberty Life
Insurance company five years ago. To-
day il stands as a monument of his
business genius.
Lost to Race.
The Liberty Life Insurance company
has suffered an rreparable loss. The
sympathy, the understanding, and the
guiding hand of Frank L. Gillespie will
be felt. The whole Race has suffered,
for it has lost one OF its most valued
men, and we grieve in unison with his
widow, Mrs. Edreaner Gillespie, and his
two children, Edward and Miss Ed
reaNer Gillespie; his three brothers,
Robert Pickett and Walter Gillespie,
and his sister, Miss Zulee FELTON,, who
mourn his loss.

LOUISVILLE Ky, April 1o-A
prediction that governmental owner
ship. if once begun in the electric
light and power industry. would ex-
tend to factories, farms, colleges and
newspapers, was voiced last night by
Samuel insult. Chicago. chairman of
the board of directors of the Middle
West Utilities Co.
If we Americans ever put restric-
tions upon individual ambition and
enterprise by adopting government
ownership, then we shall have neces-
Sarily. a government far different
from this that has fostered develop
ment of the United States" Mr.. In
sun said, in addressing leaders of
electrical power development at a
banquet where he was guest of honor.
VIII Change Living Mode.
Consequently, we shall have far
different country to live in he con-
tinued. Government ownership, once
begun, will soon extend to the fac
tory and the farm-to the govern
ment ownership of all business and
industry, including colleges and uni
versities and newspapers that play
with the idea. 1t will be the first
step toward full Communstic pro-
gram, as eXemplified in Russia"
The electric light and power in
dustry, Mr.. insult said, has risen in
40-odd years from the status of a
laboratory experiment to the gigantic
proportions represented by a cash in
Vestment of $500, ,000, 900. and regu-
lar daily service to more than 10000

for the bridge will be built indi-
Gates that the pier construction
cost viii be increased somewhat.
The samples of the work brought
up today by the drill show that the
foundation stone is Potomac gran
lite, sufficiently hard itself for a
base. However, several seams
were found in the rock founda-
ton there, and this will increase
the expense of building cofferdams
and air locks tight enough to
keep the water from seeping
through these seams. 1t Is neces-
sary during the building opera
tions to keep the space for the
workmen dry.
The drilling has continued to a
depth of 81 feet. At a depth of
40 feet the drill opened up an
artesian well, which makes it pos
sfble to provide a cooling spring
in Potomac Park. The core of
rock which was brought up by the
drill is being carefully preserved
and will be used as an exhibit for
the information of the designers
of the piers of the bridge and for

All Ready for Big
Ball Game Sunday
In West Grantwood

All roads will lead to the West
Grantwood Fairgrounds Sunday after
noon, August 8, for it is then and
there that the two rivals will have it
out. Rivalry between these two
teams is of world series caliber and
have the fans on their toes.
For those who do not know, the
sluggers of the Grantwood Athletic
Club will cross bats with the diamond
aggregation representing our neigh
boring town, Coytesville. 1t is a rare
treat when teams of this nature fight
it out in one balliwick.
Although the home boys travelled
to Palisade Park on Sunday and lost
a slugging match on wet field, they
have all the pep characteristic of the
days when they won the champion
ship cup, emblematic of baseball SUI
periority in Bergen county. Manager
Vieu has them on an edge, and in
baseball parlance they are ready to
sock the first pitcher to the showers.
Unfortunately there are no showers
available for the pitchers in the vicin-
ity of the field.
Manager Vieu will trot his full
strength out on the field. An array
of college stars will grace the home
lineup with plenty of reserves in
been decided upon as this goes to
press, but, as in racing vernacular,
"it is a safe shot" to say that either
Weigle's southpaw slants or yelling
horte's right hand fiips will cause the
visitors to wonder what it is all about.
Enough said about the homesters.
Come out and root them to victory
and help insure their success of keep
ing the remaining home games which
are scheduled for the Fairgrounds,
but may be Cancelled, due to poor
financial backing by the fans.
Undoubtedly the game might not
cause any more notice than any of
the other contests but for the fact
that member of the Grantwood
squad since it's concept will probably
be called to pitch for the visitors.
Upon Gerald Gerritty's joining of the
Coytesville team that team has taken
on a new lease of life. The home
youngster has aided and abetted in
the setting of ten game winning
streak, which all Grantwood hope to
knock for row of split bats tomor-
row. Gerry" has established a win
ming streak of seven consecutive
wins. He is in fine fettle for tomor-
rows encounter. The visitors will
bring down a bunch of batters whose
hits whistle merrily almost in every
game. Their infield is as snappy as
any in this section of the woods, and
when it comes to scientific baseball
we'll, boy, they are there bit.
1t depends on the fans. They know
what is in store for them tomorrow
when the umpire calls, PLAY ball"
at o'clock.
