Mrs. Arthur j. Todd, Sal w.

away suddenly at her home Thurs
day morning, April 80. The direct
cause was heart attack for which
assistance could not be given in
time. She had previously suffered
from rheumatic attacks but her
sudden end comes as a great shock
to her husband who survives her,
and to host of friends gathered in
her more than 80. years. residence
in this city. Mrs. Todd was a men,
Der of the Spanish American War

Bohanon Speaks
on Negro Relief

Talks to Frederick Douglass Civic
League
According to an approximation
made by Mr.. Leo Bohanon, Public
Relief Investigator and guest
speaker at the meeting of the
Frederick Douglass Civic League,
Wednesday night, little less than
one-third of the Negroes in Mime
apolis were on relief or being taken
care Of by emergency measures in
1885. Mr.. Bohanon's approxima-
ton corresponds closely with SINH
lar figures compiled by the Urban
League in it's study Of the Negro
working population last year. Mr..
Bohanon spoke on the problems of
Negro Relief in Minneapolis. An
interesting discussion followed his
address.
The Frederick Douglass Civic
League will meet again, Wednes-
day, May 6, 1885, at 8 p. M, when
the prize essays Of the Twin City
Health Committee Essay Contest
for high school and college students
will be read. The winning essay
will be selected at this time.

AN OPEN LETTER TO
MINNESOTA NEGROES
By Joseph Albright

Member Of the National Speak
.ers' Bureau of the N. A. A. C. P.
Member of the National Advis-
DRY Committee of the National
Negro Congress.
Member of the Advisory Commit
tee of the WPA Writer'S Project
for Northern Minnesota.
. The time has come in the life Of
Aframerica when political vacilla-
ton must end; we have got to stop
being political opportunists. If we
are to ever assume our rightful
place in the destiny of America we
must use the one potent, effective
weapon we have-the ballot-to
fight an alarming reactionary trend
from which we shall surely suffer
more than any group in this
country. This fight must be sane,
deliberate, and utterly uncom-
promising. To this end we had
better soon commit ourselves, with
out restraint or reservation, If we
would be spared an ignominy Of
serfdom of which we have not as
yet felt. In short, we must cast our
political die with ONLY men and
parties who stand for measures cal
cuIated to enhance the assurance
of universal justice.

CONFUSES CASE

"triplet' fathers today.
Louis y. rlerre OF Miami and T.

whom Mrs. Miller married after the
triplets' birth, have been advancing
rival claims to parentage for weeks.
Today Audrey K. Johnson, Mrs.
Miller's divorced husband, said he
was the father.
Judge E. C. Chillingworth, who
found Solomen's problem too much
for judicial powers when only two
men claimed the children, threw
up his hands at the advent of a
third and advised johnson to "in-
stitute proper proceedings.
Mrs Miller still was Johnson's
wife at the time the triplets were
born, but they were not living to-
gether After Mrs. Miller obtained
divorce from Johnson she married
Miller, who said the boys were his.
Then Pierre instituted suit for the
triplets' custody, asserting he was
the father.
Judge Chillingworth refused TO-
decide which man was the father
but remanded the boys to custody
of their mother.
Yesterday Johnson wrote to Chill.
lingworth:
Il am writing you in regard to
the triplets who were born to Mrs.
Louis johnson, who was my wife
at the time for she hadn't obtained

CHILDREN MAKE
FINE RECORD AS
LIVESTOCK MEN

At an age when most boys are
still spinning tops or shooting mar
bles, Gladstone and Lawson Reed,
l6 and 13, of Brentwood, Contra
Costa county have built up repu-
tation as livestock raisers so re-
markable that it has been given
official attention by the Univer-
sity of California, the California
Wool Growers association and 9TH
er institutions OF like standing.
Starting from scratch with o
pig apiece back in 1890, the two
children now boast flock of 105
purebred sheep, IA head of regis
tered shorthorn cattle and over
100 head of registered hogs, all ob-
tanned through their own efforts,
The boys have received no finan-
cial aid from their parents. and
they have made all of their own
deals with the banks, paying their
interest right on the dot" III
addition they have made some
David Harum sheep and cattle
deals that filled their elders with
wonder. One of their sheep was
negotiated with the Canadian Pa
cific Railroad company, and one
of their bulls was son of the
grand champion at the Chicago
International Lifest0ck show in
1881.
For the past four years Glad
stone has been the youngest men,
ber of the California Wool Growers
association.
From the beginning the boys
have divided their profits AND
losses $3.50, and they have been
exhibiting their stock every year
that they have been in All club
work. Likewise every year since
1892 they have displayed car
load of fat hogs at different points
The boys obtained their big
start" back in 1882, when they re-
ceived II ewes and three lambs,
for the care of which they re-
ceivad half the increase. Other
deals tgllaved until now they
have built up a capital investment
that many a successful livestock
raiser would envy.
