the Minneapolis Urban League un
til recently were operated joint!

Dissatisfaction with the progress
of the league under that set-uI
and the use of only one secretar!

two groups then were separated

Mrs. Faux denies this state
ment.
The Faulks told a reporter for
this paper that the child had been
i'll only three days with what ap-
peared to be an ordinary cold from
which her sister, Monterey, IL, and
Mrs. Faux were also suffering.
The mother used home remedies
in the treatment of the children
and herself. She and the older
child responded to the treatment.
At 7:30 a. m. Friday morning
the mother noticed the smaller
child's condition had grown worse.
She called the family physician,
DR.. D. R. Hastings, 7O2 Medical
Arts Bldg. When the doctor ar
rived at 8:2O he pronounced the
child dead. A pulmotor was called
but it failed to revive the child.
1t is reported that Deputy Cor
oner Callerstrom, after investigat-
ing the death of the baby, went be-
yond the scope of his duties by
questioning relatives of Mrs.
Faux, who is a white woman, as
to the legitimacy of the couples
marriage. DR.. Callerstrom appeared
more interested in the interracial
relationship of the couple than in
the case which he was called to in
vestigate and for which he is paid
by the county, Mr.. Faux said.
1t is reported the couple are con-
sulting attorneys to consider pos
sible legal action because of the
damages sustained by publication
of the story.

George Cabados, chairman OF
