Relief Club
Meeting Attended
By Many Citizens
By Ethel Lynch

The rally sponsored by the Min
neapois Emergency Relief Club, at
st. Peter A.M.E. Church, Sunday
afternoon, February %, was a sue
cess in every way. Those who gave
their support to this affair have
the sincere gratitude of the presi-
dent and all who are concerned
with the success of the organiza-
ton.
The impressive sermon by the
Rev. H. M. Marbley, pastor of Cam
phor Memorial Church, on the sub
ject, "The Cry of the Perishing"
was an appropriate prologue to
the forceful and stirring rally-ap-
peal made by the Rev. D. P. Young,
pastor of Border Methodist Church.
Other speakers who greatly pleased
the audience were the Rev. w. E.
Wellington, Bethesda Baptist
Church, and Mrs. M. Burrell, club
president, who gave an explanation
of the clubs present activities and
it's future aim.
The Rev. Fred Coleman, sub
shutting as host in the absence of
the st. Peter pastor, graciously
extended courtesies and served on
the program. The selections by the
st. Peter Choir were deeply ap-

preciated by the audience and by
those in charge Of the program,
Miss Eunice Riley, young soloist of
the Zion Baptist Church, thrilled
the audience with her touching in
depreciation of two Gospel songs.
Thirteen million blacks of America
feel that in you, and you alone,
will it be possible to save the lives
of two thousand who are about to
be slaughtered for a crime 1899
positively never committed. We
conclude by wishing you the best
of health and long life and the
knowledge that every church with
black congregation will pray for
you"
The rally was for the purpose Of
aiding the flood sufferers, and
through the generous response to
the clubs appeal, and the full sup
port that made the rally a success,
it is certain that the club can ex-
tend its work of helping those
whose needs are greatest.

ments, therefore the club asks Of
it's contributors the additional IA
vor of sending in garments and
other articles that may be shipped
without delay.
The home Of the president, 3545
Fourth avenue S., and the Phyllis
Wheatley House, 800 Aldrich ave-
nue. NJ, will serve as receiving sta
tons for contributions, until no
tice of change is given through this
paper.

meetings will be announced in

to lend your aid in protest. We
have so much confidence in you,
Mr.. President, that we believe a
mere note from you to Italian am
bassador in Washington would stay
this miserable contemplated whole
sale massacre.
Pleads for Ethiopia
please agree with US that the
black man has made and been al
lowed more progress under your
administration than ever in history
of this new, young and wonderful
country. Since the Civil War we
have successfully tried to justify
hopes of liberals who did not con-
slider black men without soul and
brain. Is it unnatural that this
body, the United Aid for Peoples
of African Descent, representing
as it does the high and the lowly
Of our people, appeals to you to
help us as we would if another race
was being similarly prosecuted ?
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-03-05

Jim Moss, state witness, whose
picture appears elsewhere in this
paper, damaged the defense case
by stating Peterson did not have a
bottle in his hand while having the
alteration with Taylor.
Interest in Trial High
The usual interest in an inter-
racial criminal case where Negro
is the defendant was manifested
by a courtroom packed with spec
tators of both groups.
From conversations heard in the
corridors the majority of the crowd
favored Taylor's acquittal which
speaks highly of the tolerance of
Minnesota people.
After the trial neighbors and
friends of Taylor thronged. his
home at SOC Fremont Ave. No. to
congratulate him.

NOTICE TO RELIEF
CONTRIBUTORS

AS has been previously explain
ed, the Minneapolis Emergency Re-
lief club was organized for the pur-
pose of giving additional aid to
those in the flood area who may
not be thoroughly covered by the
general relief measures of ma
tional relief agencies. No attempt
is being made by this small organ
ization to take over such work as is
expected to be done by the large
organizations which are pledged to
give relief to all without discrim-
ination. The Emergency Relief
club is grateful to the clubs and
auxiliaries which have collected
supplies and turned them over to
this club. Also to the individuals
who have contributed, the club ex-
tends its sincere thanks.
Sincerely hoping to not appear
ungrateful, the executive members
of the club now find it necessary
to ask that contributors give cloth
ing and other articles that need not
be cleaned before shipping. The
club is trying to send garments and
other supplies that can be used i'm
mediately and that will make the
work of distribution less difficult
for those in charge of the relief
unit to which the supplies are be-
ing sent. Present facilities and ap-
preparations of the club do not
cover the work of cleaning gar

Hello Everybody:

Hello Everybody:
Umm, there's something in the
air! That something is spring. It
sorta revives ones dropping spir-
its. All the gals and boys I've
encountered look as if they're in
a daze, rather sleepy-eyed and ro-
mantle looking. :. Last time saw
DON SESSIONS Tin between
yawns) he told me that this springy
atmosphere had gotten him down.
Well, anyway, it's liable to get
cold as the dickens before it gets
really warm. CATHERINE
WALKER is the neatest dresser.
All of her clothes match each other
so nicely. Do you know who
handsome 81. I. B." is? Well, any
way he seems to be making some
very extensive plans for 1910. How
interesting! . This weather is
certainly keeping LOTTIE YOUNG
busy. In the morning she goes to
school in a swanky looking win
ter outft-wooly hats, mitts, ETC.,
and the next morning she skips out
to school in smart grey outfit.
Well, don't worry, LOTTIE, old man
weather will have to make up his
mind sooner or later. -. That out
of-town boy seems to be quite that
way about ANNE HORRIS. {.
Well, I hear PETE THATCHER is
quite interested in mebbe, I
better keep still. And how is
that "Adorable One? Is he still
making hurried exits from taverns
when certain people enter? That's
a bad habit. He shouldn't do that.
But, of course, he knows best, or
thinks he does. One girl out at
the "U" is getting sick of conju-
eating the verb amo, which, of
course, you all know means love
in Latin. I told her to go ahead
and conquer that verb cause that's
what makes the world go round
in all languages. Ho! hum!
The Minneapolis and st. Paul Sun
day Forums will hold a joint ses-
sion this Sunday at the Phyllis
Wheatley House. A large attend
ance is expected. Goodnight
My Love" seems to be the pop
ular tune sung, whistled and hum
med by the Twin City folk. Well,
DOROTHY EARLY is our next
bride-to-be. Did you know that
JOHNNIE McHIE is growing
beard? It seems to be quite a
fad now. :. PROFESSOR T. ARM
OLD HILL, nationally prominent
in the Urban League, is in town.
He is residing at the Phyllis Wheat
ley House. Who is S. o. ROB-
ERTS so interested in? I won
der if he knows himself. The
latest romantic couple is SARAH
FRANKLIN and HORACE BELL.
-. This is great weather for skid
ding, so do be careful, all you good
looking or good-for-nothing driv-
ers. I advise all pedestrians to
carry a cane, and all drivers to
watch out for each other. On our
corner I saw very romantic couple
in a car skid across the street
and up steep bank, while a poor
old lady with her market basket
and several small dogs rushed wild
ly to safety. Now that's no joke.
Well, I'll be scurrying along and
until next week don't forget your
old inquisitive pal.

COLLINS URGES
LIBRARY FUND

There is a pressing need in
Washington for additional public
library facilities, Representative
Ross A. Collins CD of Mississippi,
chairman of a House District Ap-
preparations subcommittee, told
the District Committee today in
urging favorable action on his bill
appropriating $2,500.000 for the
library system.
If this money is provided, he
said, it probably would be possible
for the District to borrow from
$10,000,000 to SIS, 100000 from
the Federal Government without
interest, to cover the cost of a new
jail, new schools, community cen
ter projects and other capital i'm
provements.
His plea for an enlarged library
system was supported by Librarian
George Bowerman, who reminded
the committee that the library
trustees had approved the Collins
bill with the proviso that the
money be borrowed from the PWA.
He said there is not room in the
present library for the books now
on hand.
No action was taken by the COM
mittee.

The city's ninth "torso murder"

Ultraviolet rays were employed

the body were wrapped. The
