them out. He further stated that
social and literary clubs did not
have peek holes, and their doors
were without more than one lock.
That their members did not run into
corners when a policeman or any
one sought entrance.
This same Mr.. Turner, organizer
of the Musicians Rest, now operat-
ing as the Harlem Breakfast Club,
is also an interested party in the
management of this so-called break
fast club, which is beyond a doubt
the most brazen dive of it's kind now
operated by Negroes in Minneapolis
at the present time.
Respectful women of Minneapolis
have difficulty in passing this dive
for fear of being grossly insulted
by it's lair of "pimps," these and
others of their ilk loiter around the
corner of Highland both day and
night. There is today a question in
the minds of the worthwhile citizens
just why this dive has been per-
mitted to operate as long as it has;
who is behind? And where does 1t
pull come from? For decency's
sake, public opinion is being mold
ed at white heat against it's continu-
ance.
This is not the first time Turner
ha.,. sought the limelight via unfavor-
able activities. The Herald carried
accounts of these escapdes, just as
the daily papers did. Despite his
threats of suit against us for SLAM
der The Herald will continue, its
officials said, to print the news
whether it affects Paul Turner or
others. The Herald does not wilfully
print incorrect stories concerning
organizations or individuals, when
ever it does so by mistake, it is al
ways willing to publicly correct or
retract such stories. This is not the
first time Turner has threatened the
Herald. Last year he threatened to
shoot us if he saw his name in The
Herald again.

ments concerning rates of pay and
rules governing working conditions
with the Pullman Company, accord
ing to Mr.. Randolph.

ing and maintaining agreements, Is
the elimination of long, hard fight
covering a period Of nine years by
the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters, states Randolph.
Upon the completion of the ex-
animation Of the evidence and
claims-that the Brotherhood en-

TURNER TAKES 1T ON CHIN;
INJUNCTION TURNED DOWN
DOESN'T WANT HIS
NAME IN PAPER

Paul Turner this week charged
The Herald with printing an incor-
rect account of the Wolverine Club
affair threatened The Herald Off
Gals with a lawsuit alleging SANDER
and a demand that we retract our
statement of last week.
Turner, one of the most colorful
young figures in the Twin Cities, has
had a varied career since he came
to this city several years ago. He
is credited with being one of the
best baritone soloists in the Twin
Cities. During his activity in Min
neapolis, he gained the friendship
of leading citizens of both races.
During the Anderson administra-
ton he was considered to have some
degree Of influence in the mayors
office.
When not engaged in directing
choirs, mems glee clubs, travelling as
a clergyman or posing as an attor-
ney at law, he became known as the
towns unofficial greeter for Ne
groes.
In refusing to sign a permanent
injunction against the police depart
ment, Judge Dickinson scored both
attorney and Turner for having the
audacity to come into court asking
that a permanent injunction be
granted.
The judge said in part and sub
stance that the club was a disgrace
to the Negroes of the city, that it
was far from being social and lit
erary club as was alleged in the
complaint, and that it was club
where the youth of Minneapolis
learned crime and the court was
doing all within his power to wipe

SCOTTSBORO BOYS GRANTED
NEW TRIAL BY U. s.
SUPREME COURT

Washington, D. c., Jan. 1.-THE
United States Supreme Court has
again reversed the decision of the
Alabama court In the Scottsboro
case. This decision was reached
Monday when the United States
high court reconvened after the
holiday vacation. The cases heard
were those Of Clarence Norris and
Haywood Patterson who were con-
victed in Decatur early last year
and sentenced by Judge C. C.
"Speed" Callahan. The U. S. Su-
preme Court set aside the Alabama
courts conviction on the grounds
that Negroes had been excluded
from the jury. 1t was Patterson's
third conviction on the charge of
having attacked Ruby Bates and Vic
toria Price in 1881, and the second
conviction for Norris.
Ruby Bates, the first woman in
the case has stated repeatedly that
she was never touched by the boys,
and that Victoria Price, the other
woman involved, has lied consistent
iy about the whole matter.

ABUSE OF CONFESSIONAL
is CHARGED TO PRIEST
Fined 500 Marks for Dissuading
Woman From Sending Son
to Nazi Camp.

BERLIN, August 22-Father Horoba.
war veteran with medals, was fined
500 marks at Gleiwitz yesterday for
'abuse of the confessional chair"
The state attorney, acting upon in
structions from Franz Guertner. said
Father Horoba dissuaded a woman
from sending her son into Nazi labor
service and the action was held a
"clear case of political Catholicism"
The priest insisted he is supporter
of the regime and that he was guided
in his advice to the woman by wish
to see that the sons religious training
was not neglected.
The state held that "the belief of
the Catholic mother in government
labor measures must have been rudely
shaken"
She reported the confessional Incl

of the many contributions that
individual Scouts and Scout or.
ganizations have made to the re-
lief of suffering, to the mainte-
nance of good order and good
health, and to the furtherance Of
good citizenship, and good govern
ment.
You who are active Scouts are,
in addition, learning many useful
things-knowledge which will stay
with you all your lives. You are
having opportunities to fall in love
with and understand the great
outdoors. Do not ever fall out with
Nature and her wide-open breath
ing spaces. Love them. They will
sustain and strengthen you in later
years when confining circumstances
of life may tend to narrow the
spirit of soul that is within you.
Keep Enthusiasm, Energy.
I do not have to tell you to throw
yourselves, with all the enthusiasm
and energy that you have. into
your Scout work. into the programs
of your patrols and troops and
councils. But I do want to express
to you the very deep hope that
when you grow older and get out
into the stream of life you will
retain that same enthusiasm and
energy and that you will apply 1t
through every day and every year
OF your lives. The Scout motto. BE
prepared" applies just as much
to the wider service which is your
opportunity when your full civic
responsibilities are attained.
just as you are individually a
necessary part OF your patrol or
your troop today. so will you be-
come necessary parts Of the citi-
zenship of your communities. I
do not have to remind you that one
individual who lags behind slows
up the whole troop. In the Navy
we have an old saying-that the
speed of the fleet is no greater
than the speed of the slowest ship.
When you go out into life you will
come to understand that the indi-
vidual in your community who
always says Il can't" or II won't"
the individual who by inaction
or opposition slows up honest.
practical, far-seeing community
effort, is the fellow who Is holding
back civilization and holding back
the objectives of the Constitution
OF the United States.
We need more Scouts-the more
the better-for the record shows
that, taking it by and large, boys
trained as Scouts make good
citizens
hope a jamboree, in place Of
the one We missed this year. will
be planned for some time in the
future. In the meantime, send
you my warm greetings, personally.
and as the honorary president of
the Boy Scouts of America. Good
luck to you and carry on!

Text Of Address.
The text of the Presidents addres,
follows:
For more than q year I have
been looking forward to taking part
In a great National Scout Jamboree
to be held in Washington. The
best laid plans sometimes 60 awry.
A splendid program and a wonder
full camp had been prepared for
the reception Of 10000 Boy Scouts
and Scouters in the National Capt.
tai. You were coming here from
every point of the compass and, in
addition to the American Scouts,
our brother Scouts from 81 other
nations had accepted invitations to
send delegations.
But, alas, rather serious epi-
demic of infantile paralysis arose
in the vicinity of Washington and,
ON August 8, the United States
Public Health Service and the
health officers of the District and
the nearby States concluded that
to hold the jamboree would be a
hazard. With great reluctance,
therefore, we had to call it off.
But for this unfortunate hap
pening would have reviewed this
dav the thousands of Scouts lined
up the length of Constitution ave-
nue.. and later we would all have
had a party on the White House
lawn. / want you. In your own
home towns, to know how sorry
am that I cannot be with you
myself. I am in spirit with each
and every one of your gatherings
tonight.
Nation Bound Together.
You boys, old and young, in
every part of this broad land
present Scouts and former Scouts
your numbers running into the
millions-constitute a very real
part of our American citizenship.
We are bound together in a de-
mocracy operating under Consti-
tuition whose purpose was and is
ito form a more perfect union.
establish justice, insure domestic
tranquility. provide for the COM
mon defense. promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings
of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity"
The success Of that Constitution
Is dependent on the attitude OF
mind and the degree of the spirit
of unselfish cooperation that can
be developed in individuals. Scout
ing is essentially and clearly a
program for the development Of
that unselfish. cooperative atti-
tude of mind. Scouting revolves
around. not the theory of service
to others. but the habit OF service
to others. Scouting makes the in
dividual boy conscious of his obli-
CATION to his patrol. to his troop.
to his community, to his State and
to his Nation.
Even before you become Of voting
age you actually have a part in
civic affairs and you bear response
bilities in your home communities.
We older citizens are very proud
