THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C, FRIDAY AFTERCJOON, APRIL 8, 1921- SCOUTS' NEED OF CHURCH IS URGED National Officer Says Or ganization Tries in No 'i Way to Fill Place. '.

Mr. Barkley consumed the morning hour with his address, and dis cussed in detail council affairs. -.. "The Boy Scout organization is not a church organization," declared Mr. Barkley. "We do not wish to overlap the activities of the church in anyway, 'and anv efforts in that direction would jbe in opposition to the Sunday schools. Our aim is merely to direct the boy's attention to those things and let the Sunday school do the rest. Neither do we aim to bring the home into the Scout organization. AVe only desire to develop the manhood and admirable qualities in the boy by outdoor life : and high ideals." Friday afternoon, Stanley A. Harris, national field executive, will lecture on the management of the Southern dis trict. Suggestions win also be heard in reference to the location of the next Scout conference.

Femi nine jealousies have disrupted the wo men's squad of the Kalamazoo police department, Chief Taffe declared today in announcing he had requested the resignation of two police women. "Something had to be done," the chief wrote City Manager Harry Free man. "The women are supposed to work together irrespective of person alities, but there has been more or less friction for weeks and co-operation has become impossible. Dismissal was the only solution." WILLIAMS' CASE (Continued from Pafce One.) fendant, the attorney declared: "In, the midst of these foul, out rageous murders. I content myself with saying: I know nothing about the three in Newton county. As to the .others in Jasper county, I will explain them at the proper time." "The man who knows about the Yellow River murders knows about the pasture murders, and, if he ' can explain one. he can. explain all," How ard declared. A recess of ten minutes followed the close of the address, which the crowd, filling every available inch of stand ing room, heard in deep silence. Mr. Johnson started the final argu ment as soon as the recess was up, outlining in a quiet tone what he pro posed to do in his address. Mr. Johnson praised the address of Howard, and added "As for my friend Mr. Brand, the distinguished solicitor general, just between you and me, gen tlemen of the jury, confidentially, I can't escape the conviction that Mr. Brand has not got a square deal." "Just beginning his term of . office and having worked up his first bi? case, he was about to reap the reward of his labor and had visions possibly of honors from it of the governor ship even when this Atlanta crowd got busy and sent these distinguished men to take his place." Referring to Howard having conduct ed the examination of witnesses and having made the closing speech, he declared the former congressman did not appear, as did the solicitor gen eral or the assistant attorney general, to be doing their duty as sworn offi cers of the state, but as the paid at torney of "private prosecutors." The "men who guaranteed the funJ to pay Howard had the right to do so," he said, and added they had tho right to hire another lawyer to uphold "this splendid character Clyde Man ning." ' "I would suggest, however, they might well clean up their own hou3? first." Referring to the Atlanta, race riot of 1906. he said no one hired lawyers to punish the slayers "of more than one hundred unfortunate necroes." Mr. Johnson then made a plea that Williams, for whom he had sought a postponement of trial, had not been given sufficient time to prepare his de fense. He asked the jury to remember this when it retired "especially when you run up against suspicious facts and circumstances unexplained." Johnson referred to the testimony of Manning as that of a "confessed liar and an admitted murderer," who, on his admission, "knocked a nigger in the head as he would an ox." Scientists and travelers know, he said, that in Africa there are peace able tribes and fierce tribes, even cannibals, among the negroes. "I am willing to venture that way back there Clyde Manning's ancestors were cannibals," Johnson declared. Manning's motive for the killing's, he said, was due to his ignorance and the- fact that, in "his disturbed 5 and cunning brain, this man (pointing to a Federal agent) had sown the seeds of fear." ' Manning, the attorney said, f had been told "he was as guilty as twiK liams" and did not have education enough to know better. Reference to Manning's having termed the Department "of Justice agents 'United States protectors" caused the first act on the part of spectators during the day that neces sitated a rap for order. It was a spontaneous laugh that subsided at o:ice. If the eleven negroes had been killed over a period of twelve days, as Manrvng said, some of them would have got wind of the earlier killings and would have "fled like rats irom a sinking ship. , And remember, too," he continued, "not one of Manning's family was touched. Remember that." S. & W CAFE TO OPEN PLACE IN WINSTON Carrying out their original idea of forming a chain of "cafateria" eating places throughout the South, Frank Sherrill and Fred Bebber, of the S. & W. Cafateria here, will open the secpnd link in the chain in Winston-Salem at an early date. Mr. Sherrill said Friday that a lease had been obtanied on A building at a desirable location in Winston-Salem. Leases also are sought for at proper places in other cities and other houses of the proposed chain will be opened from time to time, with Charlotte as the home office of the chain. The plans of the promoters are to making the Winston-Salem place the most efficient and best-equipped eating place in this part of the country. The S. & W. cafateria is already the larg est eating place, in point of number of patrons, in this section of the South it is said. "EATS" BREAK IN AND WORK STOPS Velvet Kind" is Fed to The News Force While Carrier Sings. Even as Joshua, the Son of Nun, ef fectively commanded the sun to stand still over the Valley of Ajalon until he should accomplish the defeat of the Caananites, so did. a mesenger, even more lovely than the hero of old, march into The New? office Friday and com mand all typewriters to cease until all hands had partaken of "The Velvet Kind." The messenger came from the office of the Chapin-Sacks Corporation, on West Fifth street, manufacturers of the "cream of ice creams." You havo been its unique 'sign in the drug stores, where a mysterious breeze turnisnes a multi-colored whirlwind of confetti in to a proclamation about the "cream of ice creams." The messenger was followed by Afro American porters, who sat do$rn a large wooden receptacle, with bits of ice and traces of salt on the top. Hav ing made a little speech, the messenger departed, followed by the porters. All hands in The News buildings were or dered to stand to. let thij typewriters be at ease for. a moment and hold themselves in readiness for mid-afternoon "eats." It requires almost no effort to stop a reportoriai typewriter anyway, not to mention those ' in the advertising, business and circulation departments. So when it was made plain to the assaulters of L. C. Smiths. Remingtons, Underwoods, Olivers and other types of typewriters that ice cream was being served there was a cessation of key-board clangor that suggested the flood had suddenly ceas ed to go over at Niagara and that the cataract had ceased to come down at Lahore. There was gathering over in the cir culation departments, where .Sloan Bagwell presides, with the aid of Miss May Bunting, Eddie Rigler, Rob Webb and others. Counters and tables were denuded of papers and a relay of mes sengers was sent out to collect the ocasion plates and spoons. W. M. Bell, advertising manager, notary pub lic and a quasi-authority on North Car olina politics, was shoved by general consent into the position of master of ceremonies and performed magisterial ly. Miss Lula Adams, without whose aid and approval nothing goes well in the office, nodded her Titian-haired as sent to the lay-out and stepped forwrd to transfer the cream from the contain er to the plates. It was thought best to make the oc casion a matter of some ceremony ra ther than mater-of-fact, and William Arthur, 10 years old, leader of his class in the Fifth grade of the Third ward school and News carrier after school hours, was invited to start the cere mony by singing "Let the World Go By." Although only thre feet tall, he has a voice like an Al G. Field min strel man. He sang with force and ef fect and received a round of applause, as the first plate of cream were emp tied. Relays of mesengers took plates to the third floor, where linotype oper ators, telegraph operators and editorial managers suspended operations for the time being. The entire force, from general mana ger on down, including news hounds, advertising sleuths, copy boys, Tar Ba by Douglas, the celebrated lick-and-promise janitor, and all others let the world go by for half an hour unnoticed. Afterward all went back to their posts to sin g the praises of ice cream mak ers for their thoughtfulness and on to write a paragraph of appreciation. This is it. For many days the per sonnel of the office wjll laud the vir tues of the "Velvet King," the cream of ice creams, and . probable all of it become addicts to its use.
