Admits He MolestedGirl.
Man Lectures Court

Dardell McFarlin, 28, who had been
arrested and charged with molesting
girl in Minnehaha Park, brought his
trial in Municipal Court to a dramatic
close Thursday.
Arraigned, he readily admitted his
guilt, Judge, | am guilty, I know
that did wrong but did not have
any intention of wrong"
Il wish to plead guilty, and throw
myself on the mercy of the court, and
assure the court that / will never,
never be here again for anything like
this"
The court assessed a fine of ten dol
lars, which was paid
The case had previously been
brought to the attention of the COM
munity, due to the scare head playup
given it by the Minneapolis Star, pre-
sumedly Minneapolis liberal news
paper
The Star not only played it in bold
type, but placed it so close to Cedric
Adams Col, mn that it could not be
missed by a1y of it's readers.
This is the second of the tempest
in teapot type of story that the Star
has given all the publicity typical of
desire to stir race antagonisms, or pos
sibly lynching bee.
The other involved Negro who was
supposed to have choked a white wo-
Elan, but thanks to the fairness of
police the entire matter was squelched
when it was found that the woman was
merely lying in the snow afflicted with
an incoherence that has never been
fully explained, when the colored man
happened along.
A lenient attitude was taken in Nc
Farlins case, because police do not
consider his positively moronic, but
more of borderline type
He had been previously questioned
and 1ectured for attempting to start
conversation with young women.
Meanwhile, police are investigating
outbreaks of Juvenile delinquency in
the vicinity of Sumner Field play
ground.
1t is alleged that young men have
contributed to the delinquency of sever
al girls, and in one case adults are sus-
pected
The women's Bureau is in charge of
the investigation.

THE LAST EVENING OF THE
SUPPER
By Rev. A. F. Boyd

Time: A. D. &c. Thursday evening,
April Oath of Nisan). Place: Jeru-
salem.
eff God Wills" June 4th at Bethes-
da Baptist Church, 1118 9Th Street S.,
at II o'clock a. M, the congregation
will convene IN profound reverence
with the most sincere humility to
commemorate the last supper.
And on this most sacred of all oc-
casions our prayers shall be in the
language of the poet.
The hours spent with Thee, 0 God,
Around Thy Sacrament table, are like
loadstone fused and forged of time
and Prayer and Vision which with a
mystic power uplifts.
The dreary days into the brighter
Fuller glory of Thy love, there to be
warmed and nodded into a calm and
holy life According to Thy patterns.
The hours we spend with Thee, O
God. Around Thy communion table
within Thy sanctuary in testimonies,
prayers and hymns and spiritual songs
is indeed and truth refreshing to our
souls. 1t was on the last evening
when He gathered together His dis
ciples in the Upper Room to keep the
Passover and Supper before His death
and suffering. Within the shadow of
the Cross a deep sense of devotion,
unity, and spiritual intimacy came ov-
er them as they sat reclining upon the
table.
And He said unto them with desire
| have desired to eat this passover
with you before / suffer.
For | say unto you, | will not any
more eat thereof until it be fulfilled in
the Kingdom of God.
Therefore it is not surprising that on
this solemn occasion should form the
deepest most sincere teachings in the
Gospels and it all centers around the
intimate spiritual relationship in the
Upper Room when He impressed
upon them the new liberty and power
that were to be theirs as result of
His crusifixion, and of their spiritual
union and fellowship with him.
He had repeatedly tried to show
them in order to fulfill all that Moses
and the prophets had written concern
ing him that it was expedient for him
to die and rise again on the third day
according to the scriptures. but his
death by no means would be the end
of their hopes and aspiration but rather
the beginning of new christian era.
A spiritual kingdom in the hearts of
every believing creature.
His greatest concern was to have
them grasp the idea that His departure
would add to their personal relation
ship with him in spiritual way for
my Father and | are spiritual and it
is his desire for you to be and for that
reason | am availing myself of this

U. S. FAScIsTS PLANNED TO
USE RACE ISSUE IN PLOT TO
SEIZE THE GOVERNMENT

wv dSlliIStOH, june AoANTAJ--<A Sldl u
ling conspiracy to set up fascist die
tatorship in the United States, with all
that it implies in the legalizing of race
hatred and jim-crow oppression, has
been stumbled upon by Congressman
Martin Dies, Texan head of the House
Committee on un-American activities,
and he is attempting to shroud the
plot behind maze of fake dramatics.
This was the unanimous belief of the
New Dealers here this week as details
of the testimony before the Dies Com
mittee was made public.
Testimony to date revealed the fol-
lowing facts, which were presented
to the country in jumbled and confus-
ed accounts by the Texan:
l. Major Gen. George Van Horn
Mosely, former U. S. Army official,
secured the financial backing of Dud-
ley Pierpont Gilbert, New York
millionaire, for an antiSemitic, fascist
organization to fight fabulous re-
volution" which evidently was more
specifically identified as the New
Deal.
2. The retired Army officer decided
on establishment of general head
quarters for the group in Atlanta, Ga,
home of the Ku K1ux Klan, to prepare
campaign to save America from
itself" by forcibly taking over the
government an suppressing the do
mestic rights of the American people
1t was to be propaganda group that
could be swiftly turned into a military
group.
3. The facist conspiracy was to be
based on the backward South, with
a retreat" in Kentucky from which
the campaign could be directed, as
well as general headquarters in At
lanta.
The conspiracy was to be furthered
by whispering campaign against
President and Mrs. Roosevelt on the
basis of their friendship for Negro
people, particularly in connection with
Mrs. Roosevelt's open championship
of Negro rights upon many occasions.
4. The conspirators have allies in
high government circles from which
Mosely secured advance information
on vital federal plans which was sent
to list of 40 confidents, many of
whom were American Legion officials
and retired army officers.
5. Leaders of the plot banked on
active support from leading Republi-
can and reactionary clique in control
of the American Federation of Labor,
John D. Hamilton, chairman of the
Republican National Committee, was
in correspondence with one of the
fascist plotters.
The group received support from
several millionaires in addition to Gil
bert, Rowland Spencer, bitter foe of
President Roosevelt who made a
"spite-sale" of his Krum Elbow prop
erty, adjoining the Roosevelt's home
at Hyde Park, to Father Divine, was
one of the angels of the facist conspi-
rators.
In addition to General Mosley, New
Deal foe, the chief figures in the con-
spiracy were:
George Deathrage, St Adams, w.
Va, chief of the Knights of the White
Camelias, a facist organization.
Gilbert, New York millionaire.
James Irwin Campbell, a retired
army captain, of Owensboro, KY.

CAMPAIGN WARNS UP, CLOSE
ELECTION INDICATED

Unless the small straws tell the
wrong direction of the wind, next
| week should see one of the most Wig
i orous campaigns waged in years.
The Eide camp is already in hot pur.
suit of votes, and the colored element
is not being overlooked.
Several of the more well known
Farmer Labor politicians are en-
sconsed in headquarters near Sixth and
Lyndale. Desperate efforts are being
made to find an issue of particular ap-
peal to colored folk.
Police activities have been checked
and rechecked but with apparent little
avail, as the only story which gained
! any mention as result of the effort
regarded recent workhouse ructon,
and this broke down and passed out OF
circulation.
The agitation against vice which has
held the pages of our dailies for the
past two months is generally soft pet
/, aled around the northside corner. Evil
IDENTIFY the harbringers of new prosper
, ity feel that either folk in the vicinity
are not affected by evil, or if they are
bad they wish to stay bad
The real problem is never discussed
the problem that affects all, black or
white
Whittier relief.
Minneapolis is now tottering on. the
verge of financial breakdown, as a
result of the heavy load, and only wise
and experienced leadership can stave
off the catastrophy.
In the other camp, the shorts of
Leach seem to be sure of their stand
ing with the majority of Negro voters,
probably due to the fact that Mr..
Leach knows personally, possibly
more Negroes than any white man in
Minneapolis, and has made record OF
long standing that gives any opponent
mark to shoot at.

The President of the United States
personally sees an average of seventy
five persons each week as well as
Senators and Congressman and any
other high Government officials. The
Presidents appointments must be
made far in advance except upon very
urgent business. Sometimes one must
wait as long as twenty-four hours in
order to secure an appointment. 1t is
a very ordinary sight to step into the
office of Mr. Mcintyre, First Secre-
tary to the President, and see from
five, ten to fifteen persons wanting to
make an appointment.
There is steady stream of people
visiting the White House each day
from 10 100 a. m. to 1900 noon, except
on Sundays. On an average of AS
600 persons visit the White House
each week On Easter Monday alone
about 1900 visitors call at the White
