Approximately 5000 delegates and

Acceptance of Lewis invitation to

that mo party will get the four mil

This means repeal of the poll tax

Davis emphasized.
The delegates overwhelmingly ap-

/. To accept unanimously and en-
Enthusiastically" the offer of John l.

For forty years Marion w. Addison
was a familiar parsonage in Boston
and, in all of that time, he held Com
munion and fellowship in Zion
Church. He was at one time editor
and owner of the Boston Courant. He
lived a neighbor to all. His greeting
and cheerful laughter made acquain-

He was as generous as he was genial.

year before was mentioned in the
Lawyer-elder's statement.
Immediately, the Judge arose and
stated this is matter that belongs to
the church; it has been handled by the
church, and the church, and the church
law is final. The court has no iuris-
dlction In church matters; the church
and the state are separate, and I dis
miss this matter" This was done with
out calling a witness or a word from
the defense lawyers. It was simple,
quietly and briefly done.
Practically the entire court room
rushed to Bishop Walls to shake his
hand in congratulation, stating that
victory had been scored for the church
and Christian society. Bishop Walls
shook hands then and thanked the
Judge for his decision, and stated that
he 'had dismissed a string of false
hoods" He also shook hands with Rev.
Tucker, the complainant, stating that
ne had nothing against him but he
ought not to have STATED untruths to
create case" When Rev. Tucker re
piled to him, II am fighter like you,"
the Bishop replied, 81 fight honestly
and moved on among the many friends
who stood in the hallway to greet him.
The Bishop and Presiding Elder
birmingham, the latter having been
locked up a night in this case, both
were represented by Robert Haggan &
Son Law Firm and Stephen A. Burn
ley. The senior member of the Hag-
gan Law Firm was the attorney for
Broadway Temple when Bishop Walls
erected the present edifce "a years ago.
Seen a little while after the court
session was closed, the Bishop stated
that he did not know why this case had
been sprung, except vindictiveness of
Rev. Tucker, who was an easy prey to
some church politicians, bent on break
ing his influence in the coming session
Of the General Conference because of
his progressive views. He said, at is
alleged that Rev. Tucker has stated
that he had encouragement by some
official, or officials, to "bring Bishop
Walls to the General Conference under
a cloud" because it was known that he,
Tucker, was ranking over his suspen-
sion in the Annual Conference last
October, and that he would be a sus-
ceptible agent for carrying out such a
plot. 1t is stated by some that a GER
tain minister, also disgruntled, and
pastoring in another conference, was
used as the go between to make up
this political ruse". All of the A.M.E.
Zion Church and church people in
general, in Louisville and Kentucky
are rejoicing that ex-Presiding Elder
Tucker has twice been shown the
power of church authority in disciplin-
ing him for some of his many offensive
acts through several years.

The gathering of the Senior and

April % was well attended. 1t was
quite novel idea, for the first time
such a meeting was held where the
wardens Of the various lodges could
meet and get acquainted with each
other. This was conceived by the
Grand Master who was present and
explained to them his reason for sum-
moning them. Indeed all present alb
sorbed what was said and many sug-
gestion was discussed, some of which
will no doubt be fruitful. More of
these stimulating conferences and the
entire jurisdiction will surely be
clothed in new raiment.
On Monday evening, May 6, the
Grand Master and his suite will jour
ney to New Bedford for the annual
visitation to Union Lodge. Any one
who is DESTROYS of going will be well
come on the trip.
Holy Sepulchre Consistory has
