After the games were played, refreshments were served and all went home rejoicing. MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE ENTERTAIN WIVES AT CHRISTMAS DINNER _ The Ministerial Alliance launched what it is hoped will be an annual affair Monday afternoon at the North Side Y. W. C. A., when they enter tained their wives at a dinner. About 25 persons were in attendance. The idea was suggested by the Rev. Mr. Brewer, pastor of Allen chapel, of the South Side, at a recent meet ing of the alliance, that he thought it would make for good fellowship and acquaintanceship, if an annual din ner for the ministers and their wives could be held some time during the week of Christmas. The idea was readily adopted and a committee, con sisting of the Rev. Messrs. Brewer, Trusty, and Hamlett, was appointed to arrange for the dinner and to in terest as many ministers as possible. The committee arranged for the din ner at the “Y” and it was served by the health-education committee. It was some dinner! Turkey and all the fixings. After doing justice to the dinner an interesting program of brief ad dresses and music was given. The Rev. John Albert Williams was select ed to serve as toastmaster. Among the numbers was a humor ous reading by Mrs. Brewer; a brief paper by Mrs. Fort; short talks by Mrs. E. H. McDonald, Mrs. McGee, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Trusty, all of whom were models for their husbands in brevity of speech, but whether their reverend spouses will take the hint and profit by the example set in their sermons and speeches here after, is open to question. Some did not profit by the example when they in turn were called upon by the toast master to speak their speech. Among the men called on were the Rev Messrs. Burckhardt, Grant, Trusty, Story, McDonald, Fort and Brewer. While each speech was good, some short, some longer, the best speech by the men, in the judgment of most, was that by Rev. E. H. McDonald, and the best story was by Rev. Mr. Brewer. Musical numbers were con tributed by Miss Frances Trusty and by Miss Lucy May Stamms. The benediction was pronounced by the Rev. L. M. Hamlett. It was voted by all present a very delightful affair, and heralded as marking a new epoch among the min isterial forces of our race in the city.

Y.—The address to be delivered on January 8, by Repre sentative George Holden Tinkham of Massachusetts before the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo pie, will sound a political keynote vi tal to the Negro’s immediate future in the United States, according to James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the association. “Mr. Tinkham has raised in con gress the issue of the Negro’s vote,” I said Mr. Johnson, “and of Southern representation. He has based this is sue squarely upon the fourteenth amendment and he contends that the Negro must be permitted to vote on the same conditions as all other citi zens or Southern representation in congress must be reduced in accord ance with the provisions of the four teenth amendment. “Mr. Tinkham has long been cham pioning this measure but never be fore has the time been so opportune for pushing it. The South is today clamoring for the complete enforce ment of the eighteenth amendment, while it ignores and nullifies the fourteenth and fifteenth amend ments. “Great sections of the East and West are pointing out this inconsis tency of the South, and stating that if the eighteenth amendment is to be enforced upon them, there is no good reason why the fourteenth and fif teenth amendments should not be en forced throughout the South. The Southern leaders and politicians are thereby placed in a very embarrass ing position which they have them selves brought about. “The N. A. A. C. P. feels it is extremely fortunate in being able to offer Mr. Tinkham its rostrum to place his views and this issue before the citizens of New York and the country.” MRS. M. O. BOUSFIELD NAMED CHICAG6 SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Chicago, 111.—Mrs. Maude B. Bousfield, wife of Dr. Midian 0. Bousfield, received notice recently of her appointment as principal of the Keith school, Thirty-fourth and Dear born. Mrs. Bousfield has been hold ing the position of dean of girls at Wendell Phillips high school. She is to assume her new duties after the holidays. GUNMAN GETS CHAIR; EMPLOYER GETS 5 YEARS La Grange, Tex., Dec. 30—When his employer as a gunman finally broke down and confessed that she paid Pete Banks, Negro, a sum of money to slay her husband, C. P. Jones, Southern Pacific agent, he was sentenced to death in the elec tric chair. Mrs. Ella Jones testified that she hired Banks to commit the crime. A fifty-five year sentence imposed on Mrs. Jones, was reduced to five by a former governor of Texas. Citi zens of La Grange think that an ef fort should be made to commute Banks’ sentence to life imprisonment. Leading and influential white citizens think that the Negro was unduly in fluenced by the white woman to com mit the crime and have taken steps to have the condemned man’s sen tence commuted to life imprisonment.
