North Side Stirred by Police
Action as Club Keepers Are
Held for Investigation
Grand Jury Indicts, Suspends
Officials; Sheriff Or
ders Raid


A peculiar interest in certain Ne
gro sections of Minneapolis at
taches to grand jury indictments Of
Frank w. Brunskill and William
D. Forby, two captains of police
returned Tuesday, Feb. %.
North Side Raided
This interest is heightened by
the raids of certain north side re-
sorts that shortly followed, and
which included among those caught
in the tolls, Ben Wilson of the well
known Apex club, and Phil Ware,
operator of the equally famous
Harlem Breakfast club also locat-
ed in that section.
Associated in RumOrs
Rumor has long associated these
men in certain northside activities
detrimental to that section and the
city generally, and have grown to
proportions that allegedly warrant
the grand jury in its drastic action
of Tuesday.
Suspended
Brunskin and Forby have been
suspended pending the outcome of
the indictments by Police Chief
Frank Forestal.
Police Stage Raids
In the meantime, while raiding
the Apex, where a waiter, Eugene
Moore, was also taken into Gus
tody, and the Harlem Breakfast
club, the police also raided four
other places run by white men, one
of whom was given a workhouse
sentence, another paid a fine of
$4,000.
COlOred Men Held for Questioning
The colored men involved were
jailed and marked ''held" for ques-
tioning by the grand jury.
Grand jury activity, conferred
principally in what is known as the
Lyndale district, is presumably
based upon disclosures come to
light during the recent trial of Kid
Cam accused of the killing of Wal
ter Liggett, newspaper publisher.
Cam was declared not guilty.
Ben Wilson and Phil Ware have
for a number of years been con-
nected with club activities on the
northside which have been rumored
by some to be "police protected"

Rex Court Scene
of Near Killing

Willie Miller, 80, living at BAT
Rondo St., St. Paul, was shot and
seriously injured Sunday night by
Robert Lee of the West Side. The
shooting took place in the vicinity
of the Rex Court. A reporter for
this paper in an interview with a
close friend of the injured man was
told that a year ago the same Lee
attempted to shoot Miller; that
Miller took away the gun, with
drew the bullets and gave it back to
his assailant.
Since that time the men had
seemingly forgotten the incident
and remained friendly. On the
night of the recent shooting, Lee
was in a booth with girl when
Miller entered and in friendly spirit
offered to share drinks with the
couple. Lee CURLY refused, ordered
Miller to leave. AS Miller turned
to obey, Lee raised his pistol and
fired, the bullet entering the liver.
Lee threatened to finish Miller at
the time, but was restrained. The
wounded man was taken to the
Ancker hospital, where he is re-
ported to have a fair chance for
recovery. Robert Lee and several
companions were arrested and are
being held for investigation.

THE NEGRO
CONGRESS
AN ANALYSIS
By Villa Eastman
Minnesota Delegate

The Negro National Congress, if
it accomplished nothing else, was a
stimulant to the Negro people. It
made them conscious of their
status as a minority group in this
country. It awakened them to the
fact that they, as a people possess
intellect and grit. It demonstrated
the worth of getting together and
exchanging views and facts prov
ing that the Negro is capable of
unity. The striking note of the
Congress was the harmony and
smoothness of the proceedings. The
earnestness of the speakers and au-
dience was thrilling. 1t is difficult
to imagine five thousand Negroes
assembled under one roof with
single purpose-that Of alternating
existing conditions and taking def
mite steps toward that end in the
passing of resolutions specifically
stating demands. These resolutions
were given deliberate thought in
their making by the various or
ganized groups.
The keynote of the youth section
was the building up of existing or
CARNATIONS such as: the N. A. A.
c. p, which has the legal machin-
cry necessary and the background
of twenty-five years of experience.
1t was not the intention of the
Negro youth to become top heavy
with new organizations, but to
strengthen the existing ones and
aid them in their struggle for
Negro betterment. The problems
facing Negro youth in the fields of
education, employment, and society
in general were discussed from
actual knowledge. These young
people were representative of the
"new thinking" They realized
that it is only by cooperating to-
gether as one unit, can the young
Negro find his place in society.
Along with this thought was the
knowledge that facts, not theories,
must be known, and mass demon
stration is necessary. No longer
can the "so-called intelligentsia"
remain Indifferent and apart from
the masses because as a race we
are workers.
The program of the Congress
was well defined and worked out.
The speakers were persons Of cour-
age, and knowledge, stating con-
cisely wi bout mincing their
thoughts and convictions. Clayton
Powell of the Abyssinia Baptist
Church in New York stirred the
Congress with his brilliant analysis
of the Negro church-its history,
background, and function. He
stated that the Negro minister
should picket, become part of the
work day public, and what was
needed was weekday action, not
Sunday preaching"
The Congress itself was a sue
cess, but the real success of the
Congress will be up to the Negro
people. The salvation of the
Negro lies within himself, and not
outside. We, as a race, are mature
enough to work out our own prob
lens, fight for our own rights, fol-
low our own leadership (Which we
have), and develop a concern for
the least member of our race.

Criticisms

The most effective answer to the
criticisms that have been lily con-
cealed was the presence of many
young men, hundreds of them I'M
der forty years who brought to the
convention enthusiasm, keen intel
lectuality and a determined oppo-
sition to any unfounded pessimism.
Lead Seminars
These young men and a host of
equally qualified courageous young
women took an active aggressive
part in all the congress activities.
They led and participated in all
the varied seminars into which dis
cussions of the problems divided;
brought much of enlightenment in
many fields and by their earnest
ness and excellent preparation gave
to the sessions unwonted clarity
and interest. Many of this group
are students in universities; others
have already enlisted in the ranks
of professional endeavor and all of
them, men and women alike, have
begun to feel the irksome press of
prejudiced actions against which
they came to battle with all the
strength of their convictions and
the valor of trained minds.
