ORDER NEW TRIAL IN S. c.
'SCOTTSBORO CASE

Columbia, S. c., Dec, (CNA)-
Press Bibbs, one of the seven defen-
dants in South Cardinals "Scottsboro
Case" won new trial before the State
Supreme Court this week.
Last January Bibbs and six COM
panions were indicted by grand jury
and charged with the murder of Lewis
Leslie, white farmer and storekeeper,
of Mccormick, S. c.. on October IL,
1923.
Despite the intimidation of defense
witnesses, the case was appealed to the
State Supreme Court after an all-white
jury sustained a first degree murder
charge against Bibbs last February.
Conviction of first degree murder in
South Carolina carries with it an auto
matte death penalty in the electric
chair.
John Baker and Arthur Patterson
are two other defendants whose cases
are now on their way to the States
Supreme Court.

STRIKERS CLEARED IN CARLO
SHOOTING

Carlo, ILL.,, Dec, (CNA)-No evil
dence can be found that the recent
shooting of a white Missouri deputy
sheriff as he tried to cross picket line
was perpetrated by Negro AFL mem
bers in the line.
This was the conclusion reached this
week by representatives of Governor
Henry Horner who investigated the
tense situation brought about by mon
gers of race war when Negro cotton
seed oil workers struck in this city.
The findings of the Governors rep
resentatives apparently confirmed the
argument of Earl B. Dickerson, Chi
cago Second Ward Negro Alderman,
that the shooting may have been due
to a stool pigeon planted in the picket
line
Alderman Dickerson had accused the
Chicago Tribune and Alexander coun-
ty officials of attempting to convert the
strike into race war; Acting with the
International Labor Defense and the
Chicago Civil Liberties Committee, he
had demanded a dull investigation of
mob threats which forced the pickets
to find refuge in the woods

Roland Hayes To Sing At

Roland Hayes, il1ustrious Negro
tenor, who will sing at the Lyceum
theatre Sunday afternoon, January 9TH,
numbers command appearance before
the late King George V of England
among his musical trium7hs. Fe Iii
come to Minnea 1olis through arrange
ments made by Mrs. Carlyle Scott.
Son of slave-born mother, Hayes,
as boy guided buliock-drawn pfo9s
on a Georgia farm. From the back
country s;;tIemen of Curryville, Ga,
where he was born, the family moved
to Chattanooga, Tenn. There one of
the boys took turn going to school
while the others worked. Roland's job
when he worked, was in factory that
made window weights. He used to
sing to make the task bearable for HIM
self and his fellow workers.
While singing in little church choir,
he came to the attention of a Negro
teacher, Arthur Calhoun The decisive
spur to his ambition came when, on 4
visit to a white mans house with Cal
hour, Hayes heard phonograph records
of Calve and Curuso
Later, while student at Fisk uni

2915 Columbus Avenue South Club
man and pioneer Negro citizen of the
Twin Cities, impromptu historians say
ED, as he was known to thousands
here in this state, had his first club in
the old Pence Auditorium located next
door to the old S. T. James Hotel, on
lower Hennepin Avenue, and moved
from there to second floor of what is
now known as the Servile Hotel on
lower Fourth Avenue South. which un-
der Eds management, became, at one
time, one of the best known places of
entertainment in the Northwest From
there he moved to lower Third Avenue
where he operated a Smoke Shop up
to about 1923, when he retired because
OF failing health.
Ed was one of the main moving
forces in the organization of Ames
Lodge of the Local Colored Elks who
later honored ]. E. Stewart with life
membership. The type of human being
whose life lived in the constant service
of his fellowman, becomes his undying
monument in death. Always wisely
sonscious of the fragility of human
mortality and the hundred thousand
year "air thin" veneer of human Gus
tom that covers the hundred billion
year evolution of the beats, Ed Stewart
met each day and each man with a
smile of understanding. Seventy four
years old next Tuesday, ]. E. Stewart
came to Minneapolis in 1884 from
Vicksburg, Mississippi, his birth place,
and has been resident of this city for
the past fifty-five years. Service will be
held at The Neal Funeral Home Satur-

No, they have not lost thing as the

In the half, we sauntered out, and
were standing in the shadows when a
man walked up to US, and remarked,
those boys are certainly good aren't
they?" We replied in the affirmative,
and then he launched into conversa-
ton that went something like this:
"You know all of those colored peo-
pie, Negroes, Chinese, Japs, and In
dians, outplay our boys, because they
take their. sports seriously.
The work for their victories, and
that seems to be where we are slipping,
That may be one of the reasons they
are trying to keep colored players out
! of professional baseball.
One good colored player on say the
New York Giants team, and they
would make the rest of the boys work
themselves to death to keep him from
stealing the show.
1t can't last forever though, the pub.
lie is eventually going to make the
managers give them break"
We stepped out of the shadows
"Oh," he said, Il hope l didn't speal

told him it was OK, as we rather
liked to know what people really
think. Conversations drifted to Other
matters, and after an exchange of so
cial amenities, we went our various
ways. Thus are friendships born.

Twin-City herald., 1939-12-16

This column is not the only one that
is behind in the news.
The daily papers have just dis
covered the pamphlet that is being dis
tributed by the Socialist Labor party,
discussing why the Negro should not
go to war.
Having been in circulation for the
past three weeks, we suppose that
there must be one in every other Ne
gro home in Minneapolis.
Big newsmen however, are contact
ing those whom they think may be in
the know, and want to know what it
is all about. ---
Twelve million Negroes, mixed with
every kind of blood that may come out
of Europe and Asia, must by virtue of
their heritage have some instructive
leanings.
This means that twelve millions,
may never be able to agree wholly on
the question of world conflict.
1t may be of interest to the gentle
men of the press, that history shows
that in every instance the Agro Amer
ican (Which is the only hyphen ever
forced upon a group of would be
Americans), has chosen what he thinks
is the lesser of two evils and has stood
to a man behind the U. S. A.
The jitters that are having their
moment in newspaper row, may not be
so much a fear of the Negro attitude,
as it may be quail of conscience for
the sins they have done us.
We might suggest as cure for the
fear that may beset them, that they
preach the practice of true American
ism among their middle class brethren,
whom they may feel do not bear
watching.
The banquet to Maxwell Bohanon
last Saturday evening, was one of the
most sensible given in Minneapolis in
a long time.
Not only was Mr.. Bohanon's rise
somewhat colorful, there was an op-
portunity for definite gain for both
groups as result.
If one chooses to read between the
lines, he must gather that Bohanon is
respected by his fellow workers, which
is so much better than being merely
liked.
We love to reminesce on our one
and only conference with the gentle
man.
1t was over a matter of discrimina-
ton in public instructions. He smoked
fat cigar and looked amazed that any
colored person could give the matter
consideration.
Finally he answered us, but on what
