Business League Collation
The Phoenix Branch of the Na
tional Negro Business League held
their first social and smoker Tues
day night in Hackett’s hall, 216 Bast
Washington street. Sixteen business
and professional men were present
to enjoy the collation and exchange
ideas. Mr. A. Jackson Temple, real
estate dealer, presided as toastmas
ter and introduced each member,
who was asked to make a three-min
ute talk. Some good thoughts were
advanced by the speakers, in so much
that many exceeded the time limit.
The talk by the president of League,
Mr. Walter A. Brown, was easily
the keynote speech of the evening
and he was roundly applauded. Co
operation, race solidarity, race
pride and race loyalty were the
chief thoughts advanced. The prime
object of the League is to bring
about a closer relationship among
the business and professional men
of our group, and cement them in
to one common mass of friends and
brothers. Next meeting of the
League will be held Tuesday night,
April 28, in Hackett's hall, 216 East
Washington, and all men of our race
who are interested in the advance
ment of Negro business, cordially
invited. W. A. Brown, president;
W. J. Jones, secretary.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING
Colored Youth Held
Up and Robbed by
White Girl Bandit
(Special to The Tribune)
DAYTON, Ohio.—A white girl,
whose name the police did not divulge,
maquerading as a man, held up and
robbed Hubert Elliott on a street
corner near his home late Wednesday
night.
The masquerader was armed with
an automatic pistol, the police said,
and according to the story told by
Elliott, she searched him with the
ease of a professional highwayman.
The girl’s make-up was so com
plete that her sex might not have
been discovered if her voice had not
betrayed her. Police say she took
$25 and a gold watch from Elliott.

Condee was convicted of whipping
his wife.
Dr. William T. Pratt, county Health
