She received her musical training under Miss Minnis of Louisville, Mr. Edward Boatner of Chicago and the Bourgard School of Music. She made her debut as a singer in Quinn Chapel in 1930 under the auspices of Mr. Forest Wilson and the Misses Min nis and was in demand as a singer. She sang at annual meetings of the K. N. E. A. and the Phi Beta Sigma and during National Music Week. She gave recitals in Cincinnati and in various Kentucky towns. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Virginia Avenue Baptist Church, Rev. A. H. Shumake, pastor, of which Mrs. Hill was a faithful member. Dr. W. P.

Madison of the 28th Street Baptist Church paid high tribute to (Continued on page 4) READERS ASKED TO PAY AND HELP FAVORITES AS CAMPAIGN NEARS CLOSE With just two more weeks to go from last Wednesday the Leader's subscription campaign workers are as closely bunched as they have ever been during the period of the friendly battle for the largest number of votes and the awards of the Chevrolet Master Six Coupe, and the $100, $75, $50 and $25 to be awarded to the five persons having reported the largest number of votes when they are counted by the judges, Dr. J.A. C. Lattimore, Prof. G. W. Jackson and Mr. A. D. Doss, Wednesdav, February 21, at 9 o'clock. When the votes reported for the [week?] were counted Wednesday, Mrs. [McCrary?] of Louisville had moved back [into?] the lead from third place and [Mrs.?] Roberts of Toledo, Ohio, a slow [but steady?] climber, had moved from [illegible] into second place. Miss [Crawford?], Louisville, dropped to third; Miss Dawson, Cincinnati, fourth; Miss Stone, Knoxville, fifth; Miss Norman, Hopkinsville, sixth; Mrs. Hansbrough, [Greenwood?], Miss., seventh; Miss [Henry?], Carlisle, eighth; Mrs. Orr, [Danville?], Ill., ninth and Miss Churchill, [Louisville?], tenth. Seven of these are pretty closely bunched, and any of the ten can win. Remember, one 5 years subscription means 75,000 votes. Help your favorite candidate. Send the amount you owe for the Leader or your renewal subscription to the Leader office and ask that the votes be placed to the credit of your favorite candidate. Turn to page 3. BISHOP PHILLIPS HERE FOR RALLY Rev. W. E. Farmer and the officers and members of the Chestnut Street C. M. E. Church are making great preparations for the closing of the big financial rally Sunday, February 17, at which time Bishop C. H. Phillips of Cleveland will be present and will preach Sunday morning. The present effort of the pastor and membership is expected to be one of the greatest known to the historical church, and not only is the full cooperation of the membership being had, but the interest has reached many friends of the church. The cooperation of all the citizens at large is asked in the effort to put over a much needed financial program for the Chestnut Street C. M. E. Church, and all are urged to hear Bishop Phillips Sunday morning, February 17. Indict Woods, Others Willie Woods and Others Indicted Following Election Probes; Negro The "Fool Ad Dupe" Of The Ryans And Charity Club Cases The getting together of several Republican clubs under the leadership of Jonett Ross Tood, late of the Ryans organization and William J. Goodwin of the regular Republican organization, which advocates an executive committee of fifteen white political leaders and three colored, and the indictment of Willie Woods as leader of an alleged election day "wrecking crew," accused of disorders at the polls in the colored districts last November, are the latest political developments. Others indicted with Woods were Leroy Keel, Ben Moseley, Frank Patterson, Les Watts, S. G. Bibbs, Robert Tinsley George Shelby, Henry Fletcher, John Perkins, Shelby Williams, Henry Pendleton, Van Whitfield, Frank Price, James Ford and Walter Howard. Some of these were witnesses in the election contest of Dr. Lewis Ryans, independent candidate for re-election to the Senate against J. L. Richardson, who was the regular Republican organization candidate in the last November election. This and the charity club case, aftermaths of the election, were both brought to a head two weeks ago. Dr. Ryans, who up until his son, Charles W. Ryans, bolted the Republican organization headed by former Mayor Harrison, which brought about the Republican primary last August, with Mr. Ryans as candidate for Mayor, was a regular Republican organization leader in the State Senate. Dr. Ryans went down to defeat with the Ryans ticket in the primary, and then running as an independent candidate, was beaten by a majority of more than 2,000 by J. L. Richardson in the (Continued on page 8) Paper Protests Negro Attacks Evangelists A. L. Perry and E. D. Buckner will preside at the Church of God in the absence of the pastor, Rev. C. E.

BANQUET PLANS COMPLETED Plans for the Silver Anniversary banquet sponsored by the local branch N.A.A.C.P. Monday night, February 12, are completed. A good program has been arranged. Dr.J.A.C. Lattimore is master of ceremonies. FOOD EXPERT [Photo] MRS. CORA L. SCOTT Nationally known food expert, who is in the city to conduct the Rumford Cooking School, as announced elsewhere in this paper. DYE APPOINTS COLORED GIRL Judge Clifford Dye, who was recently elected Magistrate of the Second Magisterial District, and the only Republican Magistrate in Jefferson County, has appointed Miss Joel Pope as a member of his office clerical staff. According to a statement made to the Leader, the appointment was made Thursday, January 25, several days before the publication of an article in a local weekly paper stating that Judge Dye had failed to recognize the race in the matter of patronage. The appointment of Miss Pope is being commended by leading citizens. It is the first time that a colored girl has been appointed in a clerical position in any of the local courts Miss Pope, formerly a student at Municipal College, is well qualified for the position and may be depended upon to bring credit both to herself and the race. She being a colored girl as one of an office of four, is a fine expression of Judge Dye's appreciation of the colored support given him during the last November campaign. CHURCH FRIENDS SURPRISE MASTON JONES Mr. Maston Jones, well known citizen, who is head waiter at the Kentucky Hotel, and a treasurer of the Trustee Board of Broadway Temple A.M.E. Zion Church, was given a pleasant surprise by the trustees of the church on his birthday. It was a handsome gift. The monthly meeting of the Charity Pity Club was held at the residence of Mother Clara Porter, founder of the club, February 1. The meeting in detail will be carried next week. Mrs. Emma Clement is president. Negroes' Deportment Watched 2,000 Representing All Strata Of Race At Affair Faculty Members And Students From Fisk and Tennessee State Enjoy Spectacle While Whites Laugh; Colored Women's Dressing Room Visited RUMFORD BAKING POWDER COOKING SCHOOL FOR LOUISVILLE ANNOUNCED The Rumford Baking Powder Company will sponsor a Cooking School in Louisville February 20, 21 and 22 at Odd Fellows Hall. 13th and Walnut Streets. It is said that this Cooking School is to be of particular uniqueness, and significant in that it is to be developed and conducted for this well known company entirely by well trained and experienced Negro employees. Louisville is already aquatinted with one of these Rumford sales representatives, Radmon S. Seruggs, who, in the short period of time that he has been in the city, has made hundreds of friends for himself and the company he represents. Upon Mr. Seruggs' shoulders falls the responsibility of developing the Rumford Cooking School. Mr. Scruggs is keenly anxious that Louisville makes as good as attendance record as Cincinnati, where a smaller school is being developed. Cincinnati expects to turn out 1,500 strong each night. Odd Fellows Hall here in Louisville will only accommodate 800. This Cooking School, sponsored by the Rumford Baking Powder Company, a solid old American institution of three quarters of a century, and conducted by members of the race, should draw a record crowd. It is the sort of project which should meet the approval of the general public. The Rumford Cooking School will be conducted by Mrs. Cora A. Scott, nationally known colored food expert. Mrs. Scott is now in Louisville and is located at the Y. W. C. A. She says that she has prepared a treat for Louisville families in the distinctive program which she has for each of the three nights. In addition to the great educational and entertaining value of the Rumford Cooking School, church and individual cash prizes, groceries and other valuable and useful things will be given away. No admission will be charged. NIGHT SUNDAY SCHOOL AT QUINN By William H. Ferris A night Sunday School at Quinn Chapel to be held Sunday night, February 11, will be the second outstanding event of Young People's Month. Like many other innovations in the program of church activities, which have been inaugurated by Rev. Frank Madison Reid, this event bids fair to be a real success. Promptly at 7:45 p. m., fifty or more volunteer teachers will take charge in such a manner as will inspire all who may find it possible to attend.
