ST.PAUL PASTORS
ASKED TO STAND
ANTI-EVANCELIST
Letter From Urban League Goes
to Pastors Asking De-
nOuncement of Man.
Harris Wants Meeting
Christian Center Called Crux of
Debate; Harris to Seek
VindicatiOn.

Growing out of feeling that
has been rife for some years, dis
trust of the actions of the Rev.
J. w. Harris, SIG w. Central
Ave-, broke into flaming notice
last week when a letter was sent
from the headquarters of the
local Urban League to all the
ministers in the city asking that
they take a definite stand and ex-
press their disapproval of the ac-
tivities of Rev. Harris.
The letter points out that an in
vestigation of the Urban League has
resulted in the belief that Rev. Har-
ris constitutes a serious obstacle to
the well-being of the colored people
of st. Paul; that Rev. Harris has
time and again been condemned by
the st. Paul Association, and the
Charities Endorsement Committee;
that the last named committee is
convinced that Rev. Harris is grave
imposition upon the community and
that worthy projects suffer because
of his presence.
Harris Menace, Claim.
Indicating that the Urban League
has taken the same stand as the
bodies named, the letter ends asking
that official action be taken by the
ministers denouncing Rev. Harris
and his activities as a menace to the
community. The letter is signed by
E. A. Carter, executive secretary of
the Urban League.
Rev. Harris in heated statement
for publication in reply to the letter,
said in part:
Building Project Cause.
"a public announcement was made
in The St. Paul Echo of March IA
concerning the construction of a
building for religious training and
character building education among
Negroes, and certainly it was expect
ed that the project would be attack
ed. And before making any in
vestigation, these men (the attack
ers of Harris and his project) being
over anxious to create a disturbance
and kill this project, of which they
could never be head, sent a letter to
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, and at
a meeting of the executive board of
the N. A. A. C. p. on March IS, just
four days after the announcement
was made, Mr. w. T. Francis, in an
attempt to secure disapproval of our
project, in that meeting where only
eight people were present, and at
least two of the eight dissenting, sue

nouncing our project.

prosecution.
After the two days of direct and
cross examination. Judge Barrett
charged the jury. ' He was deliber-

of law upon which the crux of the
case rested and reviewing completely
the entire testimony. With great
emphasis he urged the jury men to
be without reasonable doubt, a
doubt that they would consider in
their business, in re urn n e
their verdict. The jury retired at
o'clock.
The owner of the barn was the
first to take the stand. He told
that he discovered the girl in his
barn with several of the defendants.
He made them leave the premises
and later informed the police, he tes-
titled. The temperature outside was
about degrees above zero. The
girl, he said, was partially clothed at

FUNCHAL, MADEIRA
| /

The morning after our arrival in the
bay of Funchal We were again con-
veyed to the quay in the small motor
tenders and this time chose an oxen
drawn "carro" as our taxi to take us
to the railway station. This convey
ance was combination of old-fash-
toned carriage with fluttering ging-
ham curtains and a sled with wooden
runners. A man running along the
side holding the reins and shouting to
the oxen, and two little boys formed
the crew. One of the little tattered
waits carried a creased rag which he
laid under the runners from time to
time to lessen the friction, and the
other ran ahead of the oxen with
long stick to exhort the plodding ami
mails to quite a respectable speed. We
wound up the steep hills through mar
row streets bordered by red tile-roofed
plaster or stucco houses. whitewashed
or painted lime green, pink, lavender,
or blue. with front doors opening di-
rectly upon the street. In one place
the wrought iron railing of the bal
cony of a light cream colored house
was covered with mass of scarlet
bougainvllea for which background
was formed at the turn of the street
by lavender stucco house with pic
turesque doorway.
At the railway station slanting cog
way cars were taken for the ascent to
Terriero da Lucia. The little engines
puffed and pushed so long and so hard
that we felt sorry for them. From
the car, We looked down upon one
neatly terraced garden after another
with its tidy little house facing the
sea. Each house had a different and
more delightful chimney than the last.
One could write a book on chimneys
of Madeira. Beautiful little children
ran up the steep incline beside the
open cars throwing flowers to us in
the hope of having a few pesetas
thrown back to them. All of Fun
chal was luxuriant garden. Fresh
green of grass and trees and a profu-
sion of very fragrant and perfect
flowers; camillias, roses, huge sweet
violets, Gala lilies, and brilliant bou-

the mountain, we had the little bay
and the whole wide Atlantic laid out
before us. We strained our eyes to
see something beyond the island, but
the sky and the water merged in
blue-gray fog so that we could not dis
tinguish where one ended and the
other began.
The descent was to be more thrill

pebbles set by hand, wound down
through the carefully kept scrub pine
forest and between the high walls
surrounding the gardens and huts, on
down to the shops Wicker sledges
consisting of wicker chair for two
or three with foot room in front, all
mounted on wooden runners, were the
conveyances for the ride. A man ran
along beside each sledge to steer 1t
safely around the corners and to regu-
late the speed. The cool, fresh air
blew past us and the rate at which
we took some of the curves kept eve
ryone alert. As we passed we saw
women in dooryards or on knobs, and
girls i'm convent gardens sitting in the
sun. embroidering to make the fine
work for which the island is so ia

ride, after generous tips had been

highway gave us marvellous views of
the sea and the country about Fun

In the two or three hours remaining

only to discover next day that some

We had only flash of the beauty
of Madeira, but it was enough to make
most of us anxious to go back again
to stay long enough to absorb its
charm. The clear balmy air, the gor-

apparently untiring energy of poor
people, all entered into the magic
which is Madeira.
