Burroughs is the president of the Women’s tion who will be permitted operate that auxiliary ently, declared Dr. J. H. president of the National Convention, U.S.A., Inc. This declaration was made members of the press in Dv. son’s suite at the Benjamin lin hotel, Sunday. He pointed that according to the all auxiliaries, including the en's Convention and the Baptist Sunday School and Convention, are branches of parent body. Therefore, the tional Baptist Convention has authority to elect officers of auxiliaries. And monies by them should be turned over the parent body. At present the women’s tion raises its own funds and spends them as it sees fit. It elects its own officers independ¬ ently of the National Convention. "This procedure would have been changed a long time ago,” said Dr. | Jackson “had it not been for re¬ spect of Miss Burroughs,” who has been the national president of I the Women’s Convention for the j past 1-2 years. I Dr. Jackson said they allowed the women’s president to follow 1 the same procedure that she has been following in the past because “we never like to disturb the work of old soldiers.” The women’s convention this year reporting amounting to $53,206.63. 9Ai: a Q Th.’c This m ° ney was raised through the committees which make up the I- women’s convention. Each com¬ mittee is set up for a specific pur¬ pose and the money raised by it goes to the project for which it was solicited. The greatest amount of money raised this year was by the na¬ tional Camp Committee. The $4,- 412.25 -which it raised will go on the debt incurred in the purchas¬ ing of a summer camp for youth in Michigan. The second largest i amount of R284.S3 was raised for foreign missions and will be used for that purpose. The third amount of $2,720.11 was raised for pay- women have bought and maintain for foreign missionaries. And the next largest amount of $1,578.50 was raised for the National Trade and Professional School, which is operated in Washington, D. C. for the training of Christian leaders. The Women’s Convention meet¬ ing in Philadelphia was attended by 74 officials and 3,021 delegates and members. The largest num¬ ber of 305 delegates came from Michigan.

Ga., (AND—A wooden cross was burned last week in front of a Roman Cath¬ olic church where a Negro couple had been married earlier. Police Chief P. J. Ranew said the cross, abuot 4 feet high, was crudely made. Ranew said the Negro couple was pa^ri;ieci about 4 p. m. at the church, identified as the Chupch of our Divine Savior. He s&id a white priest offici¬ ated and about 11 Negroes at¬ tended.! • About 50 white persons stood ' across the- street from the l | c h Ulc h while the ceremony was er}orfrtecli bu( . there were n0 j Jncidents at the time . to take over these assets of the women’s group and make them a part of the National Convention had led some members to contend | that the National President is 1 "drunk for power.” His efforts j to unite which the split two Baptist back in conven- 1915 tions have been interpreted by some as a means of obtaining greater power over more people rather than a gesture for unity. The National Convention Presi¬ dent has been quoted as saying privately to friends that he hopes to reunite the two conventions fji'st, then consolidate the Nation¬ al Sunday School and BTU Con¬ vention with the parent body. He would not bother the women fob awhile at least as long as Miss Burroughs is president. But, he is said to have remarked, “Time will ! take care of her.”
