Chicago, Oct. 10 (By The Asssclat

efforts are being made to erect sev
eral more, L. Wilbur Messer, gener
al secretary of the Chicago Y. M. C.
A., reports. Total cost has been
$1.980,b00.
These buildings vere put up with
the help of Julius Rosenwald of this
city. Under a standing offer of $25,

That In Chicago, the first and larg

Rosen wald's suggestion and with his
help that the plan was tried here and
his gifts to other cities continued to

George A. Arthur, a slightly built
colored man, is In charge of the Chi

"no more loyal Y. M. C. A. In Chi

the colored people pay about 87 per
cent of it.
Adjustment of the rural negro of

DAVID B. SIMPSON
DIES SUDDENLY
(
Pauses Away After Illness Of Ijess
Tluin Two Hours At Home On
North Road Htreet
David Braxton Simpson died sud
denly at his home on North Road
street Saturday evening at fifteen
minutes to eight o'clock. Death was
.due to cerebral hemorrhage, the re
sult of high 'blood pressure, from
which iMr. Simpson had been a suf
ferer for some time.
Death, however, was unexpected
and a severe shock to family and
friends. For several months Mr.
Simpson had seemed in unusually
good health and Saturday evening at
six be was down town, apparently as
well as he had ever been, talking to
his wife. Fifteen minutes later
news of his seizure came to her at
Mitchell's.
Mr. Simpson was at home in the
sitting room when the attack came
on. After his seizure he managed to
walk out to the back porch, where
he tried to support himself until his
boys, Paul and Braxton seeing him
sinking, could assist him to a chair,
land, when he was unable to sit up,
' neighbors who had come in laid him
on a couch. He spoke once or twice;
and after he had been laid on the
couch asked for a glass of water.
Mrs. Simpson reached home at six
thirty and he recognized her; but
was unable to speak. At 8:15 he
died. He was 44 years old.
So passed without suffering and as
quietly as he had lived David Brax
ton Simpson, one of the most un
assuming of mn, and yet a
man of purest Christian character.
"If I were asked to name the three
best men in Elizabeth City,'' said one
of his neighbors a few days before
his death, "one'of them would be
D. B. Simpson."
j Mr. Simpson Is survived by his
! widow and hie two sons, Paul, aged
fourteen, and Braxton, aged twelve.
iThere are two brothers, Henry T.
j Simpson of Salisbury and B. A.
i Simpson of Woodlcaf; and two sis
, ters, Mrs. L. C. Heilig of Salisbury
'and Mrs. S. D. Smith of Spencer.
Mr. Simpson's mother was sister
to Rev. George Washington Ivey,
noted North Carolina circuit rider of
the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, wlio traced his ancestral name
back to the days of William the Con
queror. Mr. Simpson himself was a
devout communicant of Christ church
of this city.
The funeral was conducted from
the home Monday1 afternoon at four
o'clock. Rev. G. F. Hill, rector of
