The officer was reported to the police authorities, whom it is believed ] will take action on the case. Another] was the case of a man who had been ; shot by a white man who had accused ] him of insulting his wife. He was ar- ] rested and placed in jail and there was delay in giving him medical attention. Attention was also called to the dis crepancy in bonds fixed by Judge Fitz gerald in the case of Colored suspects and white. A resolution was passed fixing the hour of adjournment hereafter at 6 o’clock. The meeting next Sunday will be held at Bethel Baptist church, Twenty-ninth and T streets, South Side, at 4 o’clock. ___ ROBBINS HAS AUTO DELIVERY TRUC K — H. R.
