SIGNAL HONORS WON BY TWO RACE LADS (Continued From First Page) Recognized by Gardner. “Governor Gardner in recognizing Principal Bruce’s merits before us all last week said: ‘I have become deeply impressed with the great work Prof. Bruce is doing in Missouri both for his race and the state. He has my serious respect and I am proud of his confidence in me and his friend ship.’ “Members of the senate and house at Jefferson City from all parts of the state at the mention of N. C. Bruce’s name would stop and say: ‘Yes, I have great sympathy and re spect for the fundamental work Prof. Bruce is doing at Dalton. It has helped to put the state on the map, his state and world’s corn records.’ “All of us met after our going be fore the committee and gladly united in electing Prof. Bruce as the chair man and leader of our Negro Free dom Progressive Colored Men’s Club of Missouri. Prof. A. C. Maclin, Han nibal, is secretary; Caleb Williams Sueed, Cooper county, treasurer; A. V\. Lloyd, St. Louis first vice presi dent; Charles S. Wheatley, St. Joseph, second vice president; Dr. William J. Thompkins, Kansas City; Dr. Ernest L. Harris, St. Louis; Prof. J. B. Cole man, Columbia; T. E. Martin, Lafe Rucker, Huntsville, the executive com mittee. The field is wide for our reap ing, who is able to stand?”—St. Jo seph (Mo.) Gazette. — PREJUDICED TALESMAN IS REBUKED BY JUDGE Called to sit as a juror in the case of Nathaniel Motley, accused of stab bing to death John Press, John A. Magee, 174 West 86th street, a real estate agent and Yale graduate, de clared that he could not give the de fendant a fair trail if selected as a juror because he was prejudiced against the Negro race. Judge Rolalsky, in General Sessions, administered to the talesman one of the sternest rebukes ever heard in a New York court room. Said he: "Any man with such ideas should be disqualified from serving on a jury,” said Judge Rosalsky. "I shall order that your name be stricken from the list. I think that no man should sit in judgment on a human being in a case involving life and property who has a prejudice against a race. Such a man is not fit to serve as a juror. "While the white man sits today in judgment on the black man, you can not tell but what tomorrow the black man will sit in judgment on the white man.” WILL IT BE A NEGRO? Several Negroes have lost their lives when vessels on which they were sailors went to the bottom. First re ports, in each case, spoke of them as Americans. This would indicate that many Negroes are seamen. It is more than likely that some Negro born in America will be killed on a neutral ship and that no warning will be given. Should this happen would such an act be considered the much talked of overt act? ; * AMUSEMENTS * | The Alhambra THE HOUSE OF COURTESY 24th and Parker SUNDAY Mae Marsh and Robi.
