In both cases, the patrolmen were exonerated by the coroner's iurv.

And the work of the Brotherhood's force of secret acents uncovered the alleged: mur derers and have brought the defendants to justice. One of the shoo tines occurred in. the Hill dis trict and the other took place in Homewood. i The Brotherhood has also been successful in closing up disorderly places, and on the whole has been i a. verv successiui in tneir uuieeui campaign against vice.

Successful protest mass meetings nave oeen held. In order to continue to carry out their work for the locl civic and social betterment, the Afro American xJrotherhood is making an appeal to the pastors of the va rious churches and their, congregations' to their endeavors. The Brotherhood is asking tt.at the local ministers take up a.i "after collection" next Sunday at both services in order to aid in this important matter which is so purely a duty, to our race and community. Reports of the contributions of the various churches will be published in the various periodicals and official receipts will be mailed. The request for the contribution i of funds was signed by Kev.
