WHITES SEEK TO BAR
SCHOOL FOR NEGROES
St. Louis, Mo.— (By the A. N. P.)
—The taxpayers who are trying to
restrain the East St. Louis school
board from buying land and building
a new $100,000 school for Negro
children in the northern part of the
city, filed an amended bill recently
asking for an injunction to prevent
the issuance of bonds for the pur
pose. A former bill asking the school
board be prevented from taking up
an option on the property is now
under advisement by Judge Silas
Cook of the East St. Louis city court.
The new bill will be argued next
week.
LOVETT DEFEATED AT POLLS
Louisville, Ky.— (By the A. N. P.)
—Wilson Lovett, president of the
First Standard bank, who was a can
didate for a. seat in the board of edu
cation, was defeated at the polls.
The odds seemed against Lovett,
workers were stationed at the polls
to caution the people that Lovett was
a Negro, many of these workers be
ing members of the colored race.
Only one paper in the city among the
race championed his cause, and that
one was The Louisville News.
TOM VERDELL STAKa AS
NORTHWESTERN WINS
_
Evanston, 111.— (By the A. N. P.)
—Northwestern defeated Purdue
here Saturday by a toe, the margin
of victory being one point due to the
fact that Northwestern made the kick
after the touchdown and Purdue
failed.
While to Homer goes the credit of
making the touchdown and kicking
the goal, the real star of the game
was Tom Verdell, the plucky colored
lad who is playing end. Early in
the game, Homer got off a quick punt
and Verdell with a burst of speed
raced down the field, evaded the
Purdue safety man and downed the
ball on Purdue's one-yard line.
This same Verdell rushed the highly
touted “Pest” Welch so that he made
a short kick which was received by
Northwestern on Purdue’s 18-yard
line. From this point the touchdown
was made.
Not only did Verdell figure in this
play, but he was in every play dur
ing the game, and time and again
smeared Welch and Caraway before
they could get going.

The “Parcel Post” party given at
