OMAHA BRANCH N. A. A. C. P.
HOLDS MONTHLY MEETING
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Recent Local Happening* Revive In
terest in Effective National
Militant Race Organiza
tion
The Omaha Branch of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People met Sunday after
noon at the Urban League headquar
ters, 2010 North Twenty-fourth
street, and was called to order by
Henry W. Black, chairman of the
executive committee. Subsequently
the chair was taken by Mr. J. H.
Jackson, vice president, in the ab
sence of the president, M. L. Hun
ter, who has removed from the city.
Considerable interest was mani
fested, due to recent local events,
which demonstrates the necessity for
a strong, active and alert branch.
Several memberships were secured at
the meeting.
Messrs. H. J. Pinkett and C. C.
Galloway, who had interviewed Jake
Bird, held as a suspect in the recent
ax murders, and had spent consider
able time in checking his alibi, gave
a report of their impressions to the
branch. These two gentlemen, with
Dr. McMillan, had been actively in
vestigating the case and were con
tinuing their investigation, leaving no
stone unturned to learn the truth.
So far as they had gone their inves
tigation was favorable to the suspect.
It was reported that police officers
had taken several colored boys from
Technical High school to the police
station for questioning in connection
with the Stribling case. The senti
ment was expressed that while recog
nizing the duty of the officers to
“run through a seive all clues that
might lead to the arrest of the crim
inal,” if high school boys were sus
pected, it would seem that they
could be spared the humiliation and
embarrassment of being taken from
school. This matter should be inves
tigated and if true brought to the at
tention of Police Commissioner
Dunn.
The following committee was ap
pointed to investigate the matter:
Dr. John A. Singleton, Mr. J. Harvey
Kerns and the Rev. John Albert Wil
liams.
The following committee was ap-1
pointed to inquire into the killing of
William Haley by police officers,
alleged to have been apprehended in I
stealing corn: George W. Hibbler,
Rev. J. A. Harris and Rev. O. J.
Burckhardt.
A communication from M. L. Hun
ter, now a resident of Milwaukee,
was read and placed on file.
The election of officers was de
ferred in accordance with the consti
tutional requirement for due notice
to be given, until next Sunday after
noon at 4 o’clock, when the Branch
will again meet at the Urban League
headquarters. A full attendance of
the membership is urged.

URBAN LEAGUE PLANS
FIRST ANNUAL MEETING
The Omaha Urban League, one of
the agencies of the Community
Chest, devoted to the interest of Ne
groes in Omaha, will observe their
first anniversary on Sunday, Decem
ber 9th, 4 p. m., at Zion Baptist
Church.
The League was organized formal
ly November 28th, 1927, and though
without a permanent staff a part of
the first year of its activities, the
work has steadily progressed and is
now recognized as a force in the
community.
The principal address will be de
livered by Attorney Henry Monsky.
Musical selections by some of Oma
ha’s best talent will be given. J.
Harvey Kearns, executive secretary
of the League, will review the activi
ties of the organization since its in
ception and outline the future plans
for 1929.
Dr. Palmer Findley, the newly
elected president of the League, and
the board of directors cordially in
vite the public to attend this first
anniversady program.
A committee of representative col
ored citizens met at the Omaha Urban
League to discuss the ax murder sit
uation and to offer their co-opera
tion in the capture of the chopper.
The group was of the opinion that
from the statements in various local
dailies regarding the man’s color and
nationality it had not been definitely
established the fact that he is a
Negro.
In view of the undue publicity of
the nationality of the suspect and
the unfavorable statements which
have been broadcast over the radio,
which are having an unfavorable re
action on the race situation in Oma
ha, a committee was appointed, in
cluding J. Harvey Kearns, executive
secretary of the Urban League, Dr.
John Singleton, Rev. L. E. Hamlett
of Cleave’s Temple, and Mr. C. C.
Galloway of the Omaha Guide, to
take up these matters with Mr. Dunn,
the police commissioner, and repre
sentatives of the two daily papers.
The committee pointed out in their
conferences that whether the murder
er be a Negro or not, the playing up
of that fact through newspaper pub
licity and radio announcements is
arousing sentiments unfavorabe and
is apt to cause a similar recurrence
of the deplorable situation which
happened here some years ago. The
committee pointed out a crime as
heinous as these recently committed
are of the same concern to Negroes
as other groups, and the nationality
of the criminal would not influence
their willingness to lend every as
sistance to see that he be appre
hended.
The commissioner promised his
full co-operation in the protection of
the man if caught and assured the
committee there-would be no similar
recurrence of the 1919 situation. The
newspapers likewise pledged their co
operation and assured the committee
that future articles bearing on the
situation would be more carefully
scrutinized that no undue publicity
and featuring of the word “Negro”
would be used.
Those who attended the meeting
and in sympathy with the purpose
were: Dr. D. W. Gooden, Rev. L. E.
Hamlett, Dr. Craig Morris, Rev. Z. E.
McGee, Rev. J. W. Garner, Rev. A.
F. Martin, Dr. Aaron McMillan, E. W.
Killingsworth, Dr. J. H. Hutten, Rev.
I. S. Wilson, Rev. N. C. Cannon, C.
C. Galloway, Rev. E. H. Hilson, Dr.
Herbert Wiggins, Rev. J. A. Williams,
Rev. D. McQueen, Chas. W. Dicker
son, Nat Hunter, Dr. John A. Single
ton, H. J. Ford, Harry Anderson, W\
L. Myers, Henry Black and J. Harvey
Kerns, chairman of the meeting.
