Mr Lou la Marshall, who gave *250.
Very gratifying has been the general

number of large rontrlbulllons wer«
made by colored people, among them

tion.
The successful completion of
this drive to complete the (10,000
fund begun by Mr. Peabody Is the
best possible evidence that colored
people are rallying to the organisa­
tion which Is fighting their battles
on a national seal« and that those
who have are willing to support the
tight tor those who have not.”
REV. ANDERSON WITHOUT A
CHURCH
The row between the officers of Ml
Olivet Baptist church snd Rev. J. W.
Anderson reached Its climax last Sat­
urday before Judge Taxwell In the
Circuit Court who dissolved the tem­
porary Injunction previously granted
by Circuit Judge Rossman to Rev.
Anderson,
restralnng the officers
from Interfering with his pastorate
duties until the finances of the church
were settled. In short, the string ot
more than four thousand (*4.000.00)
which was a condition ot Rev. An­
derson's resignation which be ten­
dered to the church and which was
accepted a short time ago, was cut.
The judge staled that the ex-pastor
could seek his recourse for back sal­
ary and other claims, through a law
suit. Just what Rev. Anderson's fu­
ture course in the matter will be Is
problematical.

Portland. Ore., March 1». 1024.
To the Editor:
Please allow me space In your pa­
per to correct some statements. It
appeared In th« Morning Oregonian
of Sunday morning. March 16th, that
the court ousted me as pastor of Mt.
Olivet Baptist church. The same Is
untrue. It was further said by one
of the officers of the Mt. Olivet Bap­
tist church that the judge said to
me that I came Into court with dirty
hand».
The judge never »aid any
such thing and the officer who made
such a statement knew he was not
telling the truth, though I am not
surprised at him, for he Is a man who
handles the truth carelessly. I ten­
dered my resignation to the church
on the 14th day ot February. 1924.
with the distinct understanding that
I would relinquish my claims to the
church upon receiving all moneys that
was due or may become due me Up
to thia date 1 have not received all
of name. There Is due me now for
salary the sum ot (202.00, and also
due me (3.565.36 tor moneys I ad-
vsneed tor the building of the church.
I want the public to know that
these men who are leading the tight
were at home asleep while I was
building the church. The whole trou­
ble In the matter started when the
choir ot Mt. Olivet Baptist church
went over to the East Side Baptist
church ot the City of Portlsnd and
rendered a program In Nevember.
1923. The said East Side Baptist
church gave our choir (110 for the
benefit ot Ml. Olivet Baptist church
rally. One ot the choir members re­
tained (55 of said amount and sent
(55 to the church by one of the men
who leads the fight against me.
I challenge anybody to say over
their signature that any part of the
(3.565.36. which is due me from the
church, was donated by the public for
the Mt. Olivet Baptist church.
I now await an answer.

MOONSHINE CRAZES MAN
Jacksonville. Fla., March 1*.—Hal­
lucinations as a result of drinking
moonshine are not rare, but it is not
often that these escapades take the
form of reporting a (25,000 jewelry
theft to the police.
According to reports coming from
St. Augustine to the police. Dr. Ed­
ward Duncan reported to the police
that he had been robbed of gems
valued at -25,000 and asked that all
roads leading into Jacksonville be
watched. Nothing developed and the
Jacksonville authorities laid off the
case when advices were received
from St. Augustine that Dr. Duncan
was drunk.
Duncan reported that two colored
men had robbed him while he was
enroute to St. Augustine from Day-
tonla.
