Declaring that Captain Johnson "has a grudge against the Elks or me," the grand exalted ruler stated: "Adjutant Johnson stuck us up for $850 for the usf of the armory for our grand ball and activities. But that wasn't He demanded another $1S9 after we had agreed the first sum. "Then they also stuck us for an additional $10 for the use of the 'mike' in the armory.

A request was even made foij another $100. ELKS PAin ONLY $370 FOR ARMORY IN 1927 "They hijacked us for all this money despite the fact that they didn't offer us the regular privileges. We even had to rent out the checking concession because the armory people1 made no arrangements."

J370 for the use of the armory at! their 1927 convention, and quoted, the officer as saying.

"Those are jour terms. You can take them or leave them." Mr. Wilson was particularly Indignant, he said, because other cities had extended more courtesies to the Elks.

LED FIGHT FOR NEGRO OFFICERS FOR REGIMENT "What made me particularly mad," the grand exalted ruler declared, "was the fact that I had led the fight for Negro officers for the regiment. And then I get worse treatment at the hands of the Negro officers than I did from Col. Haywood and Little."

1 When the trial got under both the librarian and the arresting officer dtclared that there was no evidence of disorderly conduct and that the youths were behaving themselves aa any other ordinary user of the library. The counsel for the boys then forced the librarian to admit that she had had the young men removed because they were colored and not disorderly. The arresting officer admitted the same thing, which caused th judge to continue the case for a week, until such evidence as ww necessary to support the charge was presented. Said Judge Duncan: "There seems to be no evidence of disorderly conduct here, but it is a matter of constitutional privileges." When nsked by the hoys lawyer if it were true that had the defendants bfen white and acting as they did, would they be forcibly removed, the librarian said no. Practically admitting that the cause for fhe arrest wa.s a matter of color and not a violation of any city ordinance, the librarian had no tangible evidence to offer the court.

Gaddis, Morris Murray, William MM BEfti ACCIDENT MARION. Aug. 31 (Special) D. T. Sayles, 40, was instantly killed and two other men, James Nelson and Roy Michaux, received painful scratches in a freak accident that occurred while they were engaged in felling a large, partially dead tree, on the Woman's College campus, Tuesday afternoon.

The tree had been notched by Sayles, an experienced woodsman, so as to fall due South, and he waa preparing to bring it down with a few skillful blows on the opposite side, when there came a sudden violet gust of wind. There was a rending, tearing sound, as the huge trunk tore loose from the stump and swung by the wind in a northwesterly direction, started to topple. All three men ran for their lives. In his haste, failing to glance upward, Sayles ran directly into the path of the falling monster, which struck him, hurling him to the ground and crushing his skull. Nelson and Michaux were swept from their feet by some of the smaller branches, and escaped with minor injuries.
