Urban League
Settles Difficulties

After series of disturbances that
have marked the activities of the Ur-
ban League over long period, at the
meeting of the board held Thursday
night, it was decided to retain c. w.
Washington as Minneapolis head, and
create a separate office in St. Paul.
This is a move that must be of dir
ect benefit to both cities, as it has al
ways been recognized as handicap to
have the offices under one head.
Mr.. Washington has long been
known as having had his hands tied
through the activities of a lethargic
board, an too much curbstone decision.
Peace is due more to the new setup
in white members of the board, for in
their vaious decisions they shown an
attitue of fairness, both to the organi-
cation itself, and to the Negro who
seeks the aid of the league.
1t has not yet been decided who will
be the head of the St. Paul office.

The silence maintained by Miss w.
Gertrude Grown, regarding her own
plans, and such information as might
be had regarding the future activities
of Phyllis Wheatley, has given rise to
great deal of speculation and con-
lecture.
Some of these rumors are based on
half fact, others on imagination. No
one is in position to say exactly what
to believe, SO we are passing these
rumors along, and you may take you,
choice.
From fairly responsible sources il
comes that Miss Brown was offered a
position that may well be considered a
promotion, in similar work at Cleve.
land, Ohio. This may or may not BIZ
the answer to the question as to what
is to become of Miss Brown. If it i:
true, we believe the promotion is wei
earned.
AS to the causes OF her leaving, they
are many and increasing steadily. The
ones that have the most ring are, Miss
Brown realized the hopelessness o.
securing the proper cooperation of the
Negroes who could and would do most
having failed her SO often, fatterine
offer was more than welcome.
One interesting rumor is to the eff
feet that Miss Brown built and ex.
banded the new Phyllis Wheatley

many of the real leading families Of
Minneapolis. With the election O

considerable handicap to Miss Brown
in her efforts.
Another which has it's modicum OF
attention, is that one of Minneapolis
leading business men, heavy contrr-
butor to Negro Charities, became
peeved because Miss Brown did not
segregate the white from Negro chill
dren in their activities at the house,
and in the controversy that followed,
it is alleged that Miss Brown said that
inamuch as that was a community
house, she positively refused to seq
regate or permit anybody to be segre-
gated, and that before she would do
it she would tender her resignation
He told her that resignation would not
be necessary, as it would be much cas-
ier to withdraw his support from the
house.
Then there is that much hackneyed
story to the effect that the Colored
members of the board could or would
not give the support they might have
in the more crucial moments.
Meanwhile a petition is being cir
culated by members of the Minnesota
Iowa club, urging the appointment OF
John Thomas as head resident.
There is some talk of similar petit
ton being prepared for circulation in
favor of Mr.. Leo Johnson.
From other sources it is said that
Mrs. Blanche Mason is being consid-
cred for the position, with Mrs. Onque
considered very close second.

may use it as you see fit, for as we
have said before, they are rumors sell

Workmen Al Phyllis Wheatley

Notwithstanding the excitement that
prevades the atmosphere in the vicinity
of Phyllis Wheatley, and the housing
project, these workmen much like SOL
diers who are only interested in zero
hour, go about their tasks of building
without a thought of who might oc-
cupy. There are about fifteen Neg
roes working on the project.
1t is presumed that the buildings
will be ready for occupancy about Oct.
LIST, 1888. Those in position to know
say it will be the spring of 1889 before
