the Day for the meeting of the Colo NAL
Council today.
This Bill was introduced together with
Colonia! Council Bill No Il and it pro-
vided for an exclusive government t
monopoly Of the manufacture. export
and sale al retail of all distilled spirits
A subcommittee to which this Bill
was referred recomme nded the Council
act cor jointly with the ST. Thomas
Council in the matter of liquor legisla.
tion.
to cooperate with ST. Croix on liquor
legislation and rushed the liquor bill
after completely amending it.
The new committee of the Council has
reported the Bill favorably but with
few vital chang es. 1t does notrecommend
a legal m Dnopoly oftne production nor Of
the export of distilled spirits, but the
Committee feels justified IL recommend
ing government monopoly of the sale
at retail, by the drink. of distilled spirits.
The Con- mittee proposed amend
ments to the Bill so that the profits
from such retail sale should not be used
by and for the Government cf THE

In granting monopoly OF the produc-
ton of distilled spirits TO the Govern
msnt the local distilIeries would be sum-
marily put out of business with no qua
rantee from the Council that the owners
would receive compens alton in any man
ner for their distilleIies.
In granting monopoly of the sale at
retail no injustice would be done 10 any
one, since there are no vested interests
in this line of business.
The law provides for the sale of liquor
by the drink in clubs. hotels and board
ing houses, but the large mass of people
who are not guests at hotels or members
of clubs should not be Disseminated
against 1t is for their accommodation
that public drinking places would be
established.
IN granting this privilege it is felt
that social conditions in the municipality
should in no manner be adversely at
fscted and, the best method of pre-
venting such condition is the elimina-
ton of the profit. motive.
This idea of governmer t-operated
liquor shops goes back to 1915 when.
upon instructions from the Ministry of
Finances, the policemasterS were ad
vised to notify the holders of rumshop-
licenses that no further licenses or re-
newals of licenses would thereafter be
granted.
This was followed by the introduction

ANNOYER FINED BY JUDGE

Two : Minneapolis white men
we're found guilty of annoying two
married women on August 20, and
ined $40 or ten days in Jail by
Judge Clyde R. White, few days
ago. .s@. -.
One of the two men, Clifford
Stark, admitted firing a pistol at
he husbands of the two women

est. Why the county attorneys
office did not file a more serious
charge against the two annoyers,
reporters for this paper were not
BILE to ascertain.
, Attempt to Pick Up Women
The two women, Mines. o. Car
ter and Albert Banharn, accom-
panied by their husbands, were re-
turning from a club meeting on
the morning of August 20. The two
women crossed the street on
Franklin avenue to look at dresses
exhibited in shop window. Stark,
proprietor of beer distributing
concern, and Harry Delliso, 1918
Clinton avenue, his helper, driv-
ing by in a truck, stopped and at
tempted to engage the women in
conversation. The two women
ignored the men and the truck con-
tinued to follow them as they
walked along Franklin avenue.
The actions of the two men in the
truck soon attracted the attention
of the husbands who had been
walking along on the opposite side
of the street.

Patterson, is under sentence OF
death on charges of "rapas dating

viously, a death sentence against
Patterson and seven other boys in
the case was reversed by the u.
S. Supreme Court. Two sensation

charges absolute proofs of inno-
cence were ignored and the boys
railroaded in a lynch atmosphere
at Decatur, Ala, have been held
since.

the original trial in Scottsboro,

White Men Who Annoyed
Women Found Guilty
Husbands demonstrate

Banharn walked across the
street, asked his wife what the
men were saying to them. When
Informed of the remarks made by
the men, Banharn, joined by Car
ter, demonstrated with Delliso and
Stark. A fight finally was the re-
suit of the argument which. fol-
lowed and Stark pulled revolver
and ordered the men down the
street, firing several shots after
them.
The affair was reported to the
police and both Stark and Delliso
were arrested. The arresting Of
ficers found : revolver on Stark's
person.
The two men claimed Carter cut
them. Neither would say that they
saw what type of weapon used but
Eugene Rerat, counsel for the de-
PENDANTS, attempted to make it ap-
pear that Delliso had been cut by a
knife. In sentencing the two men,
Judge White concurred in the
knife theory, stating that he felt
sure Delliso had been cut with a
knife. No testimony was intro
duood in tho caco RI ,,hcfonf;abn
the knife theory. Carter testified
that he was not in the habit Of
carrying a knife but that he had
struck Delliso with piece Of pave
ment. Leo P. McHale, assistant
city attorney, prosecuted the case
for the state.
In view of Stark's firing q
weapon, the sentence was consid-
cred light by courtroom spectators.

brought to close the conference
of the Fourth Episcopal district,
converting in st. Paul at the st.
James A. M. E. Church, since
September II. The closing session
was the most largely attended, the
people packed the church to the
doors and standing room was at
premium
In the minds of many it was the
most important because it would
disclose the assignments of the
ministers for which both they and
their friszsds had been anxiously
waiting. Interest in the assign
ments to the smaller churches was
confined to the pastors affected and
to the friends who had followed
them to the conference, but the
major appointments to the st. Paul
church in Des Moines, the St.
James church in st. Paul and the
st. Peter church in Minneapolis
was in the thoughts and hopes of
almost every one. And presently
Bishop H. Blanton Parks ended
the suspense announcing his deci-
sion to send Rev. J. A. Alexander
back to Des Moines, giving st.
James in st. Paul to the Rev. VIM.
e. Guy and sending the Rev. C. F.
Stewart to st. Peter church in
Minneapolis. 4
Chris..ian EndeavOr
The evening session began with
the young people of the Christian
Endeavorf in charge They rem
dered an ambitious program Of
vocal and instrumental music,
talks, papers, and some discussions
which won encores in some in
stances and kindly comment
throughout the large audience.
Evening Session
"The Evidence of True Disciple
ship" was the subject of the eve
ming sermon preached by the Rev
J. Fl. Clayborn, editor Of ths
Southern Christian Recorder. A
mastery effort well supported by
the music given by the choir %
Pilgrim Baptist church.
Elder Ogleton Honered
Bishop Parks permitted briet
interruption to allow the ministers
of his district to present to Elder
w. II. Ogleton a token of their
esteem, pastors robe. =
Committee Reports ~:
Following the sermon reports
from several committees were
presented and approved. The re-
port of the resolutions committee,
Rev. VIM. E. Guy, chafrgnena was
a far-reaching document. ItSpaid
special tribute to the life and work
of the presiding bishop, the Rt.
Rev. FL. Blanton Parks. 1t also
took note of the state of the
church. 1t called attention to the
high percentage reached in confer
ence claims throughout the juris-
diction, commended the zeal of the
pastors and urged the continued
loyalty of the laity. " ...
Bishop N. II. Davis Speaks =
In the afternoon service Bishop
N. n. Davis, of Baltimore, Md,
brought the message. The bishop
held the close attention of his
hearers as he told Of the early
struggles of the church and of the
sacrifices the ministers of that day
had made. He urged the pastors
Of this later time to follow and
emulate the examples of their pre-
decessors. .'D
Promotions Given
The venerable bishop, the Rev.
VIM. H. Heard, Of New York, pre-
siding over the first Episcopal dis
trict, who came to visit the confer
enca and assist his friend, Bishop
Parks, preached in the morning
and confirmed the decision Of the
officers to make w. F. Ogleton a
deacon, E. A. Lundon and ]. A.
Bradford, elders. The occasion was
one Of rejoicing for these young
men and for their friends.
