Cops Chase
Two; Gunfire
Hats Them

Two st. Paul vagrancy suspects
are weaker but wiser men today.
They attempted to run from cops.
Both are in the hospital now.
When officers Daniel Williams
and Robert Turpin saw two men
approaching passersby offering
something for sale they investi-
gated.
They found Daniel Williams, ad-
dress unknown, and Henry Horton,
Bethel Hotel, with several pairs of
new shoes in their possession.
The officers started to put the
men in the squad car to take them
to the station and both of the sus-
poets broke and ran. One ran in
one direction with Officer Bob Will

shots stopped him. The other man
was halted when bullets from Tur-
pins gun splintered both legs. Both
men are confined to Ancker Hos

dance number that was fitting as a
finale to a great program.
The "Baby Cabaret" was the
highlight of the evening. Mr..

different about the lack of self
consciousness and the thorough en-
joyment of the youngsters that
made them have a professional air.
Never have l seen anything bet

Park Board was equally enthusi-
astic.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-(C)-Mili-
tant Editor r. C. Barbour, of the
National Baptist Voice, in an edi-
torial captioned "To Father Di-
vine," wrote last week:
Dear Sir:
We have been planning to write
you for some time. AS Baptist
and believer in the freedom of
religious worship, we have only
goodwill for you. If there are
those who want to believe you are
some kind of a God, we shall not
fuss with them. The people have
a right to worship the God of their
choice, whether he be in the sky or
in Harlem.
You have a large following and
we are not jealous of you. But you
are making a great mistake, and,
perhaps, it is not too late to cor
rect it. You are taking Jesus too
seriously on race matters. White
and black Christians cannot wor-
ship together and enjoy the same
fellowship in America.
For this reason you are going to
have trouble as long as you en-
courage white "angels" to fly about
your Harlem "heaven." White an
gels cannot worship with Negroes
even in New York, not to mention
Texas and Mississippi. There are
laws in our country, sanctioned by
our Christian churches, which
would prevent an angel from heav-
en- from associating with black
people.
The best thing you can do is get
rid of the "white angels" and get
YOU some pretty "black" ones. We
note that your name is appearing
in Associated Press dispatches ev-
cry day. White America is becom-
ing more interested in you. Why?
They are not concerned about
your doctrines or your theology.
You have white women in your
Harlem "heaven." That is the rea-
son. You are going to be perse-
cuted. You are going to Jail. You
are going to be accused of every
thing.
Our advice to you is: that you,
if you plan to preach in America,
do what we Baptists are doing, de-
velop a iim-crow church. No one
will harm you then; and then, too,
you can get by with anything.
Yours for "black angels"

BARNEY WELSH
COPS NET TITLE

Barney Welsh once again is the
singles titleholder of the annual
Department of Fairgrounds open
tennis tournament.
Barney won the title yesterday
for the third time in as many years
when he defeated Hugh Lynch,
former Princeton captain, 6-1,
60, 2-6, GA, at Potomac Park.
Barney also today is doubles
champion of the tourney. Playing
with Ralph McElvenny as his part
ner, the Squire of Rockville" won
the doubles on Saturday. The
WelSh-McElvenny combination de-
feated the Navy Leech Cup pair,
Leuts. Bill Howard and Jimmy
Farrin, 6-1, 60, As, 60.
In yesterdays match, Barney
was at his best, and Lynch never
had a chance. The Squire made
the incredibly small number of
only 10 errors in the first two sets,
and in these sets made Hugh look
as if the former Princetonian
hadn't played much tennis in his
life.
In Saturdays match, while Bar
ney and Ralph we're not at their
very best, they had enough to turn
back the challenge of the popular
Navy pair without greatly extend
ing themselves.
