A. M.E. Conference Closes
Stewart to Mill City, Guy
Goes to the Saintly City
Sunday night, September 16,
brought to a close the conference
of the Fourth Episcopal district,
convening in St. Paul at the St.
James A. M. E. Church, since
September 11. The closing session
was the most largely attended, the
people packed the church to the
doors ai d standing room was at a
premium*.
In the minds of many it was the
most important because it would
disclose the assignments of the
ministers for which both they and
their friends had been anxiously
waiting. Interest in the assign
ments to the smaller churches was
confined to the pastors affected and
to the friends who had followed
them to the conference, but the
major appointments to the St. Paul
church in Des Moines, the St.
James church in St. Paul and the
St. Peter church in Minneapolis
was in the thoughts and hopes of
almost every one. And presently
Bishop H. Blanton Parks ended
the suspense announcing his deci
sion to send Rev. J. A. Alexander
back to Des Moines, giving St.
.James in St. Paul to the Rev. Wm.
E. Guy and sending the Rev. C. F.
-Stewart to St. Peter church in
Minneapolis.
Christian Endeavor
The evening session began with
the young people., of the Christian
'EfldeaVor in charge.' They ren
dered an ambitious program of
vocal and instrumental music,
talks, papers, and some discussions
which won encores in some in
stances and kindly comment
throughout the large audience.
Evening Session
“The Evidence of True Disciple
ship” was the subject of the eve
ning sermon preached by the Rev.
J. H. Clayborn, editor of the
Southern Christian Recorder. A
masterly effort well supported by
the music given by the choir of
Pilgrim Baptist church, j
Elder Ogleton Honored
Bishop Parks permitted a brief
interruption to allow the ministers
of his district to present to Elder
W. H. Ogleton a token of their
esteem, a pastor’s robe.
Committee Reports
Following the sermon reports
from several committees were
presented and approved. The re
port of the resolutions committee,
Rev. Wm. E. Guy, chairmen, was
a far-reaching document - It paid
special tribute to the life and work
of the presiding bishop, tfie Rt.
Rev. H. Blanton parks. It also
took note of the state of the
church. It called attention to the
high percentage reached in confer
ence claims throughout the juris
diction, commended the zeal of the
pastors and urged the continued
loyalty of the laity. )
Bishop M. H. Davis Speaks
In the afternoon service Bishop
M. H. Davis, of Baltimore, Md.,
brought the message. The bishop
held the close attention of his
hearers as he told of the early
struggles of the church and of the
sacrifices the ministers of that day
had made. He urged the pastors
pf this later time to follow and
emulate the examples of their pre
decessors.
Promotions Given
The venerable bishop, the Rev.
Wm. H. Heard, of New York, pre
siding over the first Episcopal dis
trict, Who came to visit the confer
ence and assist his friend, Bishop
Parks, preached in the morning
and confirmed the decision of the
officers to make W. F. Ogleton a

Bradford, elders. The occasion was
one of rejoicing for these young
men and for their friends.

White Men Who Annoyed
Women Found Guilty
ANNOYER FINED BY JUDGE
Two x Minneapolis white men
vere found guilty of annoying two
narried women on August 29, and
ined $lO or ten days in jail by
Fudge Clyde R. White, a few days
ago.
One of the two men, Clifford
Itark, admitted firing a pistol at
he husbands of the two women
■zhom the men attempted to mo
est. Why the county attorney’s
office did not file a more serious
charge against the two annoyers,
reporters for this paper were not
ble to ascertain.
Attempt to Pick Up Women
The two women, Mmes. 0. Car
ter and Albert Banharn, accom
panied by their husbands, were re
turning from a club meeting on
the morning of August 29. The two
women crossed the street on
Franklin avenue to look at dresses
exhibited in a shop window. Stark,
proprietor of a beer distributing
concern, and Harry Delliso, 1918
Clinton avenue, his helper, driv
ing by in a truck, stopped and at
tempted to engage the women in
a conversation. The two women
ignored the men and the truck con
tinued to follow them as they
walked along Franklin avenue.
The actions of the two men in the
truck soon attracted the attention
of the husbands who had been
walking along on the opposite side
of the street.

CHULLA REID
Husbands Remonstrate
Banharn walked across the
street, asked his wife what the
men were saying to them. When
Informed of the remarks made by
the men, Banharn, joined by Car
ter, remonstrated with Delliso and
Stark. A fight finally was the re
sult of the argument which fol
lowed and Stark pulled a revolver
and ordered the men down the
street, firing several shots after
them.
The affair was reported to the
police and bith Stark and Delliso
were arrested. The arresting of
ficers found a revolver on Stark’s
person.
The two men claimed Carter cut
them. Neithet would say that they
saw what type of weapon used but
Eugene Rerat, counsel for the de
fendants, attempted to make it ap
pear that Delliso had been cut by a
knife. In sentencing the two men,
Judge White concurred in the
knife theory, stating that he felt
sure Delliso had been cut with a
knife. No testimony was intro
duced in the case to substantiate
the knife theory. Carter testified
that he was not in the habit of
carrying a knife but that he had
struck Delliso with a piece of pave
ment. Leo P. McHale, assistant
city attorney, prosecuted the case
for the state.
In view of Stark’s firing a
weapon, the sentence was consid
ered light by courtroom spectators.

Herndon, only recently released
'rom two years’ imprisonment fol
owing a whirlwind campaign in
vhich the $15,000 cash was raised
>y the I. L. D. by popular subscrip
ion, was indicted ard sentenced to
18 to 20 years on the Georgia chain
jang, under a statute dating back
;o before the Civil War, which was
nterpreted in this case to forbid
irganization of Negroes and whites
;ogether. His arrest followed a
iemonstration of Negro and white
memployed which forced appropri
ation of $6,000 relief from a sup-
Richard B. Moore
posedly “empty” county treasury
in Atlanta.
His case, and the case of the
Scottsboro boys, is beinfe appealed
to the U. S. Supreme Court by the

Patterson, is under sentence of
death on charges of “rape” dating
back two years. Their sentence
was recently affirmed by the Afes-
bama State Supreme Court. Pre
viously, a death sentence against
Patterson and seven other boys in
the case was reversed by the U.
S. Supreme Court. Two sensation
al trials, in which the I. L. D.
charges absolute proofs of inno
cence were ignored and the boys
railroaded in a lynch atmosphere
at Decatur, Ala., have been held
since.

the original trial in Scottsboro,
Ala., charged that she had been as
saulted by the boys, appeared as
a defense witness in the first De
catur trW. recanted her testimony,
and charged she had been intimi
dated by officers of the law and ths
court , into making a false accusa
tion.
