I must not say much about the in

under the plateau. Seton has given
full description. But the amazement
of Milliken and myself, and later of
Dan Lamont, on seeing the marvellous
equipment of the league, the splen-
didly organized machine shops and
power stations, may easily be guessed.

created such an efficient depot for
the erection and docking OF the mar
velous airships-there were two of
them-in such a short time.
The immensity of the caverns was
awe-inspiring. With the glow of
furnace here, the hum of the dyna-
mos there, the rush of water to the
big hydraulic mains of the turbines
and the splash of the excess to the
basin of the cavern, the glare of
the ares, the simmer of the great
airships, an effect was created that
gave one the impression of being in
a dream. Truly, 1t was difficult to
persuade oneself that one was awake.

Sixty Guests of Harriet Tubman
r Civic League Go Through
Plant of Griggs, Cooper & Co.
in Midway District.

More, than sixty women and
friends were guests of the Harriet
Tubman Civic League, Monday after
noon on an educational tour through
the factory of Griggs Cooper & Co.,
manufacturing wholesale grocers in
the Midway district.
Competent and courteous guards
escorted the women through the va
rious departments where over one
hundred food products are manufac-
tured. The huge bakery was par
ticularly interesting with its barrels
of different kinds of flour. All
shapes and sizes of cookies and
crackers are baked in immense ov-
ems, then placed on conveyors to be
iced by girls in immaculate uniform.
Preserving and canning of fruits
and syrups is handled entirely by
machinery; only the labels are placed
on the bottles and containers by
hand.
In the candy department, hundreds
of trays with individual starch molds
twine out delicious fondant creams
preparatory to being dipped in rich
coating of chocolate and being pack
ed and shipped in Christmas boxes
for the enormous holiday trade.
Many housewives who use Home
Brand vacuum sealed coffee daily
on their tables were keenly interest
ed in the machinery which auto

them air tight.

sored by the league, of which Mrs.

Union Services
REPLACE Annual
Charity Dance

Annual union Thanksgiving ser
vices will be held Thursday morning
at st. James A. M. E. church. Rev.
L. w. Harris of Pilgrim Baptist
church, st. Paul, will deliver the
sermon.
All churches are invited to par
ticipate.
For nearly fifteen years, it has
been the custom of St. Paul
churches, regardless of denomina-
ton, to hold an annual Thanksgiv-
ing service to which all the congre-
cations go. In the past, the services,
which have been rotated from church
to church, have been very popular.
Before the time when the union
church service was started, charity
ball was given, the proceeds of which
were given to deserving institutions.
The collection Thursday will go to
Crispus Attucks Home.
Rev. B. A. Graham of Tacoma,
Wash, will preach at st. James
church tomorrow morning.

LOSES ON BALLOT
Vote Shows South Opposes Uni

preston News .Service)

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 19.-Opposi-
ton of the South will prevent the
reunion of the Methodist Episcopal
churches, North and South, it was
announced by Bishop William F. Nc
Dowell, of Washington after the
forenoon session of the Board of
Bishops of the Northern church in
session here last week.
Bishop Mcdowell said that appar-
emily the church of the South OBJ
jected to the admission of Negroes
to the church and also felt that it
should preserve its historic identity
as a separate and distinct religious
jurisdiction. Although the referen-
dunn on the question of union has
not been completed in the Southern
church, the vote so far registered has
decided against union.
Both the Northern church at its
general conference in Springfield,
Mass, and the Southern church at its
mmeting in Chattanooga, Tenn, in
1924 the latter by small majority,
voted in favor of the union but the
question had to be submitted to the
various district conferences.

WOMAN SENTENCED TO
SHAKOPEE FOR MURDER

4. Theresa Hollis, accused of the
murder of her sister, Mrs. Odessa
Hicks, was found guilty of man
slaughter in the first degree, and
was sentenced by the court to serve
term of from one to ten years in re-
formatory for women at Shakopee,
MINI. g..
The most sensational features of
the case were the conflicting views
offered by the defense and the state
attorney. The state asked for a con-
viction of murder in the first degree,
and the plea of the defense was that
the accused acted in self defense. 1t
was added further that the woman
up for trial was the mother of a
young girl who needed her protec-
ton. .. ...-.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 2O.-After a
shot from a gun in unknown hands
had killed Leon Breiner, neighbors
who had once before met to discuss
the undesirability of a Negro neigh
bor, held second meeting the night
after the shooting, it was revealed
Thursday.
1t was Darrow's first time to get
an admission that the whites of the
neighborhood had held a meeting.
The admission came from Mrs. Flor
ence Ware. She said that they went
into the street. "The crowd" she
began, but changed and said the po-
licemen on the corner and the people
who were there. After Darrow had
gotten her to admit that meetings
had been held and that there was a
crowd, she said that she did not see
any stones thrown.
No Conspiracy Seen by Court.
Though the state produced consid-
cradle evidence that Breiner was
killed by shots fired from the Sweet
house and that little or no disturb
ance preceded the riot, Judge Frank
