Indictment was returned against Roy
Newson, Minneapolis, and one against
John Henry Strong, St. Paul, indicted
for alleged offenses in Duluth.
The white slavery indictments rep
resent, federal officials said, the larg-
est important drive against white slav-
cry in the history of Minnesota. The
true bills charge the defendants with
transporting girls from Iowa, various
parts of Minnesota, and North Dakota,
to houses in Duluth and Superior.
The cleanup was made principally
by United States department of justice
agents who worked several months OBJ
tanning evidence before they made
series of raids in Duluth and Superior
and arrests elsewhere Six of the
girls who. allegedly were transported,
and number of other persons were
witnesses before the grand jury.

A meeting of the members OF St.
James A. NJ E. Church, St. Paul,
called by the Charles Jas6hs Mite Mis-
sionary Society for discussion Of all
article published in the local papers,
concerning the intention OF the officers
and congregation to paddock the
Church. doors to prevent the rcappoint-
ment of Reverned WIN. f. Guy:
The meeting disclosed that the H.
formation given the press, was the
work of a few disgruntled officers and
members, who had sought this method
as retaliation against the Reverend,
with whom they had apparently had
some difficulty.
1t seems as though a majority OF
the membership and officers knew
nothing of this action until they wire
informed by the above mentioned pub
locations.
A committee was also selected at
the meeting to wait upon the press to
find the reason for the publishing OF
erroneous statements.
A letter was forwarded Bishop
Gregg, asserting that the telegram sent
him requesting the Withholding OF Rev.
Guys reappointinent was not the wish
of a sufficient number of members to
Justify any action on his part.
The letter was signed by All impress
sive number of members who were in
terested in the affair.
According to the committee there
| has been no decrease in membership
since Reverend Guy has been III charge
of St. James, and that his Dollar mon
ey, and missionary offerings, were ur
to their proper quota.
Reverend Guy is we'll known in the
Twin Cities, having served at St. Pet
er's A. M. E. Church Minneapolis, as
we'll as the present charge in ST. Paul.
| He also holds office in one OF the
| higher brackets in the district in which
he is serving.

THE MESS LINE

News that filters from the Spanish
fronts, cohtinues interesting from many
angles.
There are tales that come from the
activities of the international Brigade,
that must make America proud, tho
she does not approve the activities of
her sons.
When the fist American combat
ants arrived id Spain; we are told that
the plight Of the Spanish Government
was such that ther Was OILY one fife
to every three men.
The other two were given Bayonets
which with characteristic Ingenuity
they proceeded to sharpen until they
were like razors, SO which they made
their first effort at going ovet the top,

Been held in Healthy respect; as many
headiess Gefiiians of twenty yeats ago
Hight testify
The Loyalistt troops, who had for
the most part been recruited from peas
ants and factory workers, with no pre-
vious training or experience, had shown
a disposition to flee the fame throwing
tanks that were children of German
and Italian ingenuity. Members OF
the International Brigade watched the
vents of the tanks, found way to get
close enough to throw stones IN eogs
and on the rails and stopped the tanks,
slaughtefing the operators at what
might be termed leisure.
They taught the Spanish native the
art of knowing tile direction Of she'll
by its sound, and how to duck III time.
Possibly the growing achievement
was the aiiiiihilation of tanks by in
fantry when it was not possible to use
the stofie throwing methods
Some Bright mind conceived the idea
Of timing the throwing Of hand gren-
AIDES SO they would burst and make a
hole iii the ground Immediately in front
Of the tank:
When the tank dipped into the hole,
they would work on it through the top
1t seems to be highly successful
method.
Gas is being brought into use more
and more by the insurgents, with ap-
parently little regard for women ane
children in the towns behind the lines,
but the troops seem to fight with the
same spirit. Governmental sources
speak casually of plans concerning two
years hence.
The International Brigade is The
toast of Spain, and to be identified with
it, is the open sesame to everything
the town has to offer.
We are told though that the soldier
has little time to enjoy this hospitality,
for in the minds of the average Span
ish civilian, nothing bad can happier
when the Brigade International" is al
the front.

Honor keys were awarded eight Dis

ership and good citizenship" by the
District Chapter of the Civitan Club
At the Mayf1ower Hotel last night.
The group of finest young citi-
nens" received the keys from Col
Maurice Townsend, past president Of
the local club and Civitan Interna-
tionsl. They were chosen on the
basis of character an citizenship, not
scholastic achievement, it was pointed
out. The boys will graduate from
high schools in June
DR.. Elmer Louis Kayser, dean of
George Washington University, prin-
cipal speaker, condemned the at
tempt to teach character In the class
room.
''It is illogical, irrational and un-
sound to suppose that such a field
as character can be isolated and de-
Veloped in a class room" he said. He
praised the Civitan Club as an ex-
ample of the belief that character
must be developed by will and as
sociation.
DR.. Harvey A. Smith, assistant su-
perlntendent of schools, also addressed
the group.
Allan Davis, retired principal of
Roosevelt High School, was guest
OF honor and was presented a club
medal for uplifting the standard of
citizenship in the public schools"

w He expired more than
century ago-on July 4,
1826-the same day as did John
Adams.
Have proposals been put forward
to honor Jefferson in q memorial
here, through the years?
From time to time legislative pro-
posalS have been thrown into the hop
pers of Congress, but they came to
naught.
When did the proposal for a memo
rial here really take concrete shape?
Congress, BY joint resolution June
26, 1884, created the Thomas Jef1er-
son Memorial Commission and men,
toned the present Apex Building site,
at Sixth street and Pennsylvania and
Constitution avenues, for the memo
rial.
Reason for Change.
Why was that site changed?
Congress, by act of June 3, 1895,
revamped the previous legislation and
directed the commission to plan, de-
/ sign the memorial and select q place

struct it.

But this fellow Black has a way
about him.
You can't pyramid $l.20 to a seat
in the United States Senate with
out having something on the ball,
and $120 is all young Black had
when he migrated from Clay Coun-
ty to Birmingham just after the
turn of the century.
But he loves the law and people.
That spelled success for the dark
eyed lawyer, now 81, who knows
when to wear twingle in his eye
and when to lash out like a vicious
prosecutor.
His personality was never more
effervescent and his tenacity never
more apparent than when he rode
the wage and hour bill through the
Senate hearings this summer.
The AiaDan.a -enator was COM
pletely lost in his task. He seldom
stopped to eat at meal time, but
constantly whipped away at the well
nigh impossible task.
One day a photographer asked
him to pose and Black consented,
but went on working.
Your hair" began the photo
grapher, proffering a comb.
"Oh, yes" rejoined the nearly
bald Black my wifes been telling
me to get a haircut for a week.
And then with that twinkling eye,
and puckering dimple that disting-
uishes the ALBANIAN in the Sem
ate:

to do what his wife tells him to-"
But Hugo Blask was at work two
minutes later on wages and hours.
