COOLIDGE PLANS

WASHINGTON, April S.-Regard-
less of whether he determines to seek
a third term, President Coolidge is
not going to change the chairman of
the Republican National Committee.
Forper Senator William NJ. But
Ter of Massachusetts, who managed
the Coolidge campaign in 1924, will
continue as chairman until the mex:
Republican national convention. Ii
Coolidge is the nominee he probably
will carry on, but if Coolidge is not
the candidate there may be a change.
The new nominee will dictate the
chairman.

sources to be without the slightest

other investigators too. Recently
Senator Simeon d. Fess of Ohio,
after a short trip to the Middle West,
reported his observations. Just a
few days ago the President had as
luncheon guests former Senator
Richard P. Ernst of Kentucky, Re-
publican national committeeman
from his State, and Walter F. Brown
Of Toledo, veteran Ohio Republican
politician, in whose judgment he has
inuch confidence.
Basis of Work Humor
The report that Secretary Work
will become the national chairman
grew out of a rumor that a cabine:
reorganization is in prospect. Sec
rotary of State Kellogg, whose resig-
nation has been reported frequently,
may find his failing health a suffl-
cient excuse for retiring. In such
an event Secretary of Commerce
Hoover might be his successor. But
no change is contemplated at the
Interior Department now in the opin-
ion of those presumed to be well in
formed.

STAGING FIGHT.
Fighting Tooth and TOe-nail to
Retain Possession After
Sale. .
Sheriff Sells For $500
Supposed $4,000 Equity in Prop
erty Develops to Be:
Only Sal. ..

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Mar. 25.-Stockholders
of the erstwhile Your Cab Company,
headed by DR.. Charles Thompson, DR..
R. A Williams and William Ran
dolph Cowan, are fighting tooth and
toe-nail to retain possession of the
company which was sold recently at
Sheriff's sale for $500.
Company Renamed.
According to the stockholders,
Walter H. Lee was not within his
rights when the sale of the 100000
corporation was consumated. Ever
since the sale was made the stock
holders and the buyers of the COM
pany have been at work in the effort
to effect an agreement. 1t is rumor-
ed that the buyers or holders of the
judgment note have offered to place
DR.. Thompson at the head of the
newly named Your Motor Company,
without remuneration, to conduct the
affairs of the company until the pur-
chase price of $500 was repaid to
the buyers.
This plan did not find favor with
the stockholders and the matter was
carried to court with the following
results: The sale was set aside, and
Ill cf oc
Bank, with DR.. M. R. Bibb, as CO.
ordinator, was appointed receiver of
the Your Cab Company.
Move to Arrest President.
With this much accomplished it is
evident that the move to have the
former president, Walter H. Lee, ar
rested for his part of the procedure
which resulted in the illegal sale of
the company. Among the moves
made by the former president that
have caused the most discussion are:
the presidents December letter to
the stockholders gave surplus of
$4,000 and "a days later the cor
poration was sold to satisfy judg-
ment of $500; that the presidents
report showed that the company had
done 100000 worth of business, yet
the financial difficulties arose so
quickly that nothing could be done
to save the company and that Mr..
Bush, one of the alleged buyers, The
Lake Shore Oil Company, at one time
purchased 1,400 shares of stock in
the Your Cab Company, later re-
turned it and a note given in ex-
change. 1t was further pointed out
that properties on Wabash Avenue
in which the company was supposed
to have an equity of $4,000 that it
now develops that the equity
amounts to a little more than $1.41.

Mrs. Thelma Perkins, one of st.
Pauls' popular entertainers in her
cunning way took the house by
storm. Mrs. Stella Palmer and the
Messers Matthew Lewis and Scotty
Williams danced to the delight and
pleasure of the crowd. Scotty had
considerable trouble getting started
as his timing gears did not seem to
function. But once in action his head
bobbed about like clock running
wild, his feet twisted and moved free
and his arms gracefully and freely
swung while he danced with glee.
A demonstration of the Apache dance
was given by Scotty Williams and
Stella Palmer. Mr.. Williams is the
originator of the Apache dance.

STATE REQUIRES
new LICENSE BY
FIRST OF APRIL
Motorists Using 1926 Plates Aft
er March 81 Are ViOlat-
ing the Law.
Will Mail Promptly Now
Homemade Signs and License
Applied For" Given No
Standing by Law.

Within a week April l will be
here, and that is the deadline for
using last years automobile licenses
There are still a number of the 1925
ts5s seen on the streets and high
ways in and around the Twin Cities,
and if the owners of these machines
have received their new plates, 1t be-
hooves them to see that they are at
tached to the front and rear of the
machines.
Law Requires.
The state, law requires all motor
vehicle owners to apply for their
licenses before February Is, but per-
mits them to use the old tags until
the end of March. Failure to apply
for the license before February Is
makes the vehicle owner subject to
a penalty of 25 cents day for de-
layed registration. But using the
streets or highways on or after April
l without a proper tag is declared by
law to be a misdemeanor, with the
danger of a fine or Jail term facing
any one who is arrested and con-
victed. The six weeks leeway is
provided in the law to give the Sec
retary of State time to take care of
the rush of applications which come
in just before February Is, but Mike
Holm announces that this accumula-
tion has all been cleared up and that
hereafter tags will be mailed out
promptly as applications come in.
"Get BY" Is a Chance.
The law gives no standing to
License Applied For" and similar
homemade signs that are sometimes
attached to cars. 1t provides that
mo person shall operate or drive a
motor vehicle on any highway unless
such vehicle shall have been register
ed in accordance with the laws of this
state and shall have the number
plates assigned to it by the registrar
conspicuously displayed thereon in
such manner that the view thereof
shall not be obstructed." Persons
who have in good faith made appli-
cation for a license and not received
it, may take chance and "get by
for day or two if they stay in the
community where they are well
known, but it is not safe to go very
far away from home without real
license plates.
Under the law quoted above
license plates should be placed sc
that they are not wholly or partly
covered by radiator covers, bumpers
trunks or anything else which may
be permanently or temporarily at
tached to the machine. The law also
requires that they shall be fastened
so that they do not swing, and that
they shall at all times be kept clean
and free of grease, dust or dirt sc
that the lettering is plainly visible al
all times.

the top with a rush.
Ceremony Brilliant.
Daughter Mabel Harris, hailing
from Como Temple 1913, ST. Paul Spe-

set up the Temple. Daughter Har-

The banquet given by the new
Temple to its members and associate
brothers Menelick Lodge, on st. Pat
rick's Day was a thing of beauty. II
was held at the Elk's Rest and the
costumes of the ladies were re-

gether, Daughter Harris and her St.

a wonderful group of women, with
qualifications for anything and abili,
ties to accomplish whatever they un-
dertake and when the st. Paul ladies
leave, the memories they will take
with them from the Dominion of Can
ada, will be far reaching and ever,
