The annual Lawns and Gardens
Contest sponsored by the Twin
City Health Committee was closed
Sunday, July IL, with program
at Phyllis Wheatley House.
The Lawns and Gardens Com
mittee secured an unusually large
number of contestants and was
able to interest an additional num-
Der of people in club which de-
votes several meetings during the
year to lectures and programs
which will be helpful to those in
terested in identifying their lawns
and yards.
The committee working with DR..
M. W. Judy as chairman consists
of Mrs. Mae Marshall, chairman of
the Minneapolis Health Committee,
Mrs. Hettie Stirman, Mrs. Boyd
Atkins, Mrs. Talmadge B. Carey,
Chas. w. Washington. Professors
J. H. Longley, R. Sandow and B.
Phillips Of the University Farm
School served as judges. These men
volunteered their services and
spent the better part of an ex-
tremely hot day for the task.
The first prize, a silver cup, was
awarded Mrs. Mayme Burrells,
second prize, grass shears, was
awarded Mrs. James Ward; third
prize, a one dollar certificate on a
seed store, awarded to E. H. Payne.
Those who received honorable men
ton were Mrs. R. L. Burns, Mrs.

cipal speaker. She gave many

cooperation with DR.. Judy's COM
mittee. The highlight of the meet
ing was the appearance of the
Twin City Civic Jubilee Singers I'M
der the direction of Mr.. Samuel
Herrod.
Chas. W. Washington, chairman

then proceeded to try to chew it
off. Too proud to ask for help, Bob
suffered untold punishment before
the gang concluded his victim had
been beaten enough!
Fighting Days Past
But those halcyon days have past
hong since, and his fighting spirit
'mellowed; "Black Bob" became
"Uncle Bob" to the younger gen.
Grafton. Age took it's toll of his
fighting spirit but did nothing to
his amazing appetite, and to the
very last, he ate and walked for
miles and miles.
Old Habits Linger
With the passing of the Stewart
Prestige in clubdom, "Uncle Bob"
was out of a job, but not for long.
He soon took a similar post in the
Porters & Walters club, where for
a number Of years past, he was a
fixture.
The Last Enemy
Victorious in many battles, Old
Bob succumbed at last to the
enemy before whom all of us bow
sooner or later. Full of years, and
pleasant memories, with host of
friends gathered as time passed, he
fought his final battle with death,
and took the count; veteran who
always fought fair, never quit, he
takes his place in the silent halls
of death, and lies down to pleasant
dreams.

18th St. At the height of the in
tense heat of the past several days
her condition became worse and
she was removed to Fairview Hos
pital where death came early Sun
day.
Born in Virginia
She was born in Berryville, Vir-
GINA, Nov. 80, 1865. She married
DR.. R. S. Brown, also of Virginia,
in 1890. After practicing in Iowa,
DR.. Brown and Mrs. Brown came to
Minneapolis in 1898 where for over
thirty years DR.. Brown was one of
the most prominent and highly re-
spected members of the medical
profession. In the early part of this
century, Mrs. Brown was active in
the activity of the association of
colored women's clubs and other
groups, and also an active member
of St. Thomas Episcopal Church
for years. Most of her career,
however, was built up around her
family life.
Funeral services were held at
Lakewood Chapel, 1870 a. M,
Wednesday, July Is, with Rev.
A. H. Lealtad officiating, assisted
by Rev. J. Thompson, Episcopal
rector. The brief ceremony includ-
ed songs by the Episcopal choir,
and a solo by Mrs. Blanche Mason.
Many Floral Tributes
Many floral tributes were banked
high around the massive steel
casket and around the grave on
the family burial plot in Lakewood
cemetery. Surviving Mrs. Brown
are two sons, Drs. R. J. G. Brown
and W. D. Brown, both of Mime
apolis; two step-daughters, Mrs.
Minnie Virgins of Chicago and
Mrs. Idella Spruel of Philadelphia;
a sister, Mrs. Lucy Webb of Chi
cago. Neal Funeral Home, Inc,
had charge of arrangements for
the burial.

Black Bob Famed
Mill City Figure
Found Dead
w. M. Smith

One of the men who came to his
end during Minneapolis fatal death
week, was as we'll known within
his circle as the "Father of Wa
tiers" that adorns the Court House
Lobby is to the ordinary citizen of
this city. "Black Bob" James was
found dead Tuesday morning.
Six feet tall, and as black as
coal, he came naturally by the
pseudonym of "Blaek Bob" Every
man who touched the club life of
the Twin Cities, though he later
may have travelled to the end Of
the earth, knew, and for one reason
or another, respected ''Black Bob"
A Virginian
His real name was Robert
James, and he was born somewhere
in the state of Virginia. He made
Minneapolis his home for many
years.
Follows the River
Injured to the hard work of the
farm, he graduated easily into the
life of the steamboat man; trav-
elled up and down the Mississippi
and it's tributaries, and thus, in
time, reached Minnesota.
A Fighting Hero
With a splendid physique, devel-
oped through years of rough labor,
"Black Bob" became the Joe Louis
of his day. He soon became rec
ognized cog in the club life of the
city, and for quarter of a century,
he was the guardian angel of the
sporting fraternity in general, and
the bodyguard of genial J. Ed
Stewart, in particular.
Without Fear
Bob was known never to refuse
something to eat; or go on hike
or avoid a fight. By no means
quarrelsome or vicious, he had no
knowledge Of fear and fought any
body, anytime, in the course of
duty, or out of a sheer love of bat
tie. It was a common thing in
those wilder days of the Mill City
to pull Bob off of some tough guy
who had tried his patience too far.
An Amusing Incident
The bad men of the town soon
came to respect his fighting
proves and walked around him
it was only when some new fellow
walked in with the idea Of running
things to suit himself that Bob
stepped in to teach him to behave,
and then when sufficient punish
ment had been administered, the
men around would pull Bob off. On
one such occasion, "Black Bob" ad-
mitted later, the interference did
not come soon enough for Bob's
thumb inadvertently found its way
into his adversary's mouth, who

LandOn Refuses
To Answer Query
OF News Reporter
(From Afro-American)

Estes Park, Colo.-When asked
here Friday by the AFRO what he
plans to do about lynching and the
Photographic system in Civil Serv-
ice if elected president, Governor
ALI Landon of Kansas, the COP
nominee, refused to comment.
Governor Landon is here on va
cation. The questions were asked
at a press conference in the beau
tiful Stanley Hotel, where forty
newspaper men and photographers
were assembled. The AFRO is the
only colored paper with a CORE
spondent here.
Says He Helped Slaves
When asked about the poorly
paid colored teachers in Kansas
and the inadequate salaries paid
his other employees, Governor
Landon said he had to appear be-
fore the State Legislature in per-
son to get that body to appropriate
what little money the colored
schools now get.
He would not comment on the
salaries paid his employees.
He was then asked about
the charges made by DR.. w. N.
Blount of Kansas City, the
only colored member of the
legislature, that he had re-
= quested the Republican State
Convention not to send a col
Ored delegate to the National
Convention in Cleveland. The
Governor hung his head, then
asked if Doctor Blount made
such an assertion. When in
formed that he had, the COP
nominee said he did not wish
to discuss it.
The AFRO reporter had tried for
two days to interview the Gov
ernor, and when he was finally in
vited to attend the press confer
ence he threw a bombshel into the
assembly by asking Governor Lam
don what he would do about lynch
ing, the civil service system and
relief if elected. IT,
Face Reddens
The COP nominees face turned
red. It was just like q bolt Of
lightning out of clear blue sky.
E. Ross BARLEY of Chicago,
Governor Landon's personal press
agent, told the AFRO reporter
after the conference that the ques-
lions should not have been asked
