70 NEGROES LOSE VOTE
Court Holds That Divine Followers
Failed To Give Right Names

Satisfied Love, Truth Delight,
Snow Daley, Rebecca at the Well
and seventy-five other Negroes,
most of them followers of Father
Divine, cannot vote on election day
because Supreme Court Justice
Aaron J. Levy struck their names
from the registration rolls in
Greensboro, Saturday, on the appli-
cation of the Board of Elections.
The board acted because Father Di-
vines followers had failed to COM
ply with an order of Justice Albert
Cohn, directing them to give their
family names if they wanted to
register.
Russell Lord Tarbox, Assistant
Corporation Counsel, representing
the board, told Justice Levy that
registration inspectors in Harlem
had permitted the Negroes to regis
ter under the names they adopted
when they became followers Of
Father Divine, in ignorance of JUS
tice COINS orders.
Mr.. Tarbox said that notices Of
the order sent to Trust, Love and
Live, and Rebecca at the Well were
returned by the postal authorities,
one of them containing the nota-
ton, "She doesn't live here and
never will"

clined to give the names of the

they had with the Staying.
Sheriff TIiltner said it was clear
that Silva had been killed in the

signs that a terrific struggle had
taken place. Bits of flesh also were
found in the cellar.

FEW NATIONALLY KNOWN
EVANGELISTS SURVIVE
Baseball Playing Preacher May BIO
Last OF frey And Vigorous
Preachers I'm Country

The torch of evangelism that
Billy Sunday dropped when death
beckoned him down the last saw
dust trail Wednesday night, week
ago, may have to wait long to find
another to carry it as theoretically
as he.
The Gospel which Sunday shout
ed to an estimated 100000 lis
teners during vigorous platform
life has no such fiery spokesman
today. Evangelism, like the times,
has changed its dress.
Most widely known among the
surviving evangelists are Gypsy
Smith, who has been active par
>ticulary through, the South for
more than a score of years, and
Aimee Semple Mcpherson, most
extensively publicized of the wom-
en- religious workers. Smith is now
conducting services in Boston.
The Billy Sunday technique,
however, has never been success
fully understudied, though numer-
our evangelists, impressed by his
career, have adopted some of his
ideas.
Kansas City and Chicago, among
the larger cities, have been fertile
fields for evangelists who have es-
tablished large local followings.
Lack National Appeal
The localized evangelism, such as
that of Paul RAIDER in Chicago, is
acknowledged by churchmen as
having been highly effective and
valuable, but lacking the wide ma
tional appear that Billy Sunday en-
joyed.
The "sawdust trail' made famous
by Sunday grew to be almost part
of the language. Everybody knew
that one who chit the sawdust trail"
was one who had "got religion"
Many of those who survive Billy
Sunday agree to the efficacy OF
staging" evangelistic sermons, some
carrying it much farther than did
he. Where Sunday, by reason of re-
markable histrionic skill, relied en-
tirely on his own dramtic ability,
those following in his field have
employed such devices as scenery
and actors.
Young women probably have
been more successful in late years
than men. SISTER Mary" a New
York evangelist, has just begun
years swing around the country.
Before her was Rheba Crawford,
the attractive Salvation lassie who
more recently has spoken from the
pulpit of Aimee Semple McPher-
sons Angelus temple in Los An
geles.
Negro Has Following
Elder Michaux, negro exhorter OF
Washington, D. c., found a large
audience for his individualistic SER
monizing via radio. His services at
tracted attention, not only because
of his own style of preaching, but
also because of the part taken in
them by members of the congrega-
ton.
The golden days of evangelism,
however, have waned, and no
preacher in late years-not even
Sunday himself-has been able to
draw converts down the sawdust
trail in such great numbers as did
Sunday in his l1eydey.
It may be a long time before
there appears on the American
scene another evangelistic person
atty of sufficient strength to raise
aloft the torch Of the Rev. William
A. Sunday.

COLLEGE YOUTH SHOOTS GIRL,

 Caused It All

Oakland, Cal, March 5-(UP)- Officials today reconstructed the tragic story of a college senior and his freshman sweetheart sought in death the companionship family objections denied them in life. The love story of Walter Norris and Jean Marie Stahle played out it's last lines on the campus of Mills college last night when Walter. 23- year-old senior at San Jose State college. sent two bullets into the breast of his 17-year-old sweet heart and then fired a bullet into his own head.
 From notes they left behind and from the stories of parents was pieced together the tale of a love that bloomed under a vacation sun, wilted temporarily, under family protests against the seriousness of the affair, and survived on clandes- tine meetings and letters until last night, when hopelessness over- whelmed the young lovers.
 Mrs Marguerite Norris, widowed mother of the youth who fired the fatal shots, had premonition that death would be the end of the TO- nance. q have been fearful" she said, "I asked Walter where he had put his pistol only two days ago. He said he had thrown it away. We knew what was in each others mind. He has been so very nervous. And so was l." Walters father, a former Sacramento con- tractor, killed himself 10 years ago. Roland Stahle, father of the slain girl, believed "crazy jeealousy" was the motive for the double shooting,

 Rep. Lucian Maciora of New Britain proposed that the interest rate be reduced to 4@o.
 Rep. Leon E. Mccarthy of An sonia proposed an interest rate of 5%.
 Rep. William A. Honan of New town proposed a similar measure to that of Rep. McCarthy's.
 Today Senator Culhane offered a substitute bill to the finance com mittee in place of one of his that abated the interest on back taxes and also all lien fees provided the taxes were paid by October 1. 1885. He offered in place of 1t a bill re-
