ored People was held on June IA at
Junior Pioneer Hall in st. Paul.
Approximately three hundred
persons were present in the North
vests first introduction to "royal-
ty." The response of those sum-
moned to pay tribute to the royal
family gave promise of the Coro-
nation Ball becoming an annual af-
fair.
The royal procession began with
the roll of drums, and the sharp
staccato of trumpets. There was
a fleeting silence, and then music.
The doors were opened, and the
High Potenate, Hobart Mitchell,
walked in with a bearing BETTING
one of his high rank through the
path made by-<the royal guards.
The Court Page, Hobart Mitchell,
Jr., followed. Presently, the con-
testants entered and took their
places on the stage, and the cere-
roonu hooron Pohorf Gordravs IF

Hon. Harold E. Stassen,
Governor, State of Minnesota,
State Capitol,
st. Paul, Minnesota.
Dear Governor Stassen:
It is with some regret that I
inform you of my resignation
from the Commission to which
you appointed me for a visit to
the Negro Exposition in Chica-
go. When I first learned that
my name was being considered,
I thought that your appointees
would have the advantage of a
time element which does not ex-
list at this late date. In order to
do justice to the Negroes contri-
button in Minnesota I feel that
our Commission would need at
least several months to prepare
for this.
AS the matter now stands the
activities of the State of Illinois
in this connection have reached
me only through your two COM
munications and the newspapers.
Hence, I am completely in the
dark about what provisions, if
any, will be made for the space,
maintenance and supervision Of
the Minnesota display. -.
Very sincerely yours,
Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr.,

Billy Conn's Go
With Joe Louis
Off Until 1871

Billy Conn is a wise young
man. just a couple of weeks
ago they were talking about
throwing him in" against Joe
Louis in October for pure can
non fodder but the Pittsburgh
boxing beauty has apparently
changed his mind about taking
on the Bomber so soon. Result:
Bout called off until the spring
of al making it best for every.
body concerned.
Conn isn't quite ready for the
dip into the championship pool
and nobody knows 1t any better
than him. Consequently. he has
decided to wait until at least six
more months before going after
the belt that now belongs to
Louis. In the meantime. he'll!
continue on his way, meeting
any and all corners Louis ex-
ceptedl and to this end. the pro-
motors have lineG UP several
rugged foes for him.
Fights In Pittsburgh
First OF those opponents will
either be Buddy Knox or Arturo
Godoy. both we'll up in the
heavyweight chronicles. Pres
ent plans call for one or the
other to take on Conn in Pitts
burgh the night OF September
80. Artful Art Rooney. one time
Middle Atlantic League baseball
Standout. and now connected with
things politically and pugilisti-
cally in Smoketown. will pro-
mote the impending battle.
Many are the Cumberland
fistic fans that have never seen
Conn in action and many. too.
are those who would welcome
the opportunity to survey him
in combat. Thus. Conn'S com
ing clash with Knox or Godoy
offers those same fans the
chance they have long been
waiting for. Incidentally this
same Conn hasn't performed in
Pittsburgh ring for some time
and the tiff is likely to attract
record crowd.

utes' time TO exercise his per.
sonal influence. Surely. each
member Of Congress would wish
to do this much. The inactivity
Of the committee in charge Of the
bill admits no other interpreta-
ton than the desire TO strange
the measure. This appalling
wastage Of human life continues
and the families Of the dead are
left to become objects Of public
charity.
May ! not strongly urge the
personal attention and personal
support of this measure by each
member Of Congress. The effort
will cost so little and the sum
total OF the human agony in.
volved is so great that in all sin
cerity the request for immediate
action is justified by every hui
man consideration.
