Captian John T. Campbell Writes on the Moving Pictures of the Jeffries and Johnson Fight. He contends that the constituted authorities in the various states and cities have no right to stop their exhibitton. That the constitution of the United States would be violated if such were the case. That the promoters of the moving pictures would be in a position to collect damages from those who interfered with their exhibit. That the best way to have the interest in the fight to die out is to give the pictures full sway. Vol. XV Captian John T.

FAYETTE, INDIANA. July 16th, 1910. Jullus F. Taylor, Editor The Broad Ax:— The Jeffries Johnson fight has come, and gone. Except the wrangle about the right to exhibit the moving pictures of the fight, it is as gone—as is Halley's comet. The interest in the fight will die out sooner to let the exhibitions take place than it will if they be suppressed. I hold that if these pictures be suppressed the public will have to pay for them. Article V of the United States Constitution, which is the highest of all law, says in its last line— "Nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation." What is the meaning of the word "use," in this declaration? It must mean any purpose for which it may be taken. If in time of war or other great emergency, the army shall take the farmer's corn to feed the horses, mules, beef, cattle or the men, it so takes it for public use. If a fort be built on the bluff of a river to prevent the enemy's boats and ships from passing up or down the river, and some bottom land timber should stand in the way, it would be cut down and destroyed so the guns on the fort could play on the enemy's crafts. It would not be the same kind of use for which the corn might be taken, but it would be destroyed in order to make the fort and cannon more effective in their purpose. These moving pictures are private property. They cost much money. There was no law against their being erected. They are valueless unless they can be exhibited for pay as a show. If their exhibition is prohibited, their value is destroyed and they are as worthless as if pulverized and scattered to the winds. The public cant pass an ex post facto law as to the pictures. The United States constitution squarely forbids that. The public may forbid their exhibition in the interest of the general welfare, but it must pay the just value of the TYPHOID. TYPHOID. Vegetables and Milk. Vegetables and Milk. Typhoid fever is a terrible disease. It is also a fifth disease. It is contracted in only one way and that is by taking the germs of the disease into the stomach in the food or drink. Water that has been polluted by human sewage, or by surface drainage or seepage from out-houses or stables or both, is most likely to contain the germs of typhoid. Sometimes milk contains the germs because of the presence of the disease in the family of the dairyman, or because the cows have been drinking polluted water. Another source of danger is found in unwashed vegetables. It happens not infrequently that truck farmers wash their vegetables in water from shallow wells near their truck fields. These wells are always polluted with surface drainage, and in this way typhoid is spread. Because of this dan- parafarnalia that produces the pictures. It must do more than pay for the mere cost of taking the pictures. It must pay for what these pictures might bring in the way of revenue for exhibition. If the public shall enact that no more such pictures shall be placed on exhibition, then such future pictures would be produced in violation of law and would be outlawed in advance. Surely it requires gall to prohibit the moving pictures of the fight, after allowing the daily papers to print their indifferent pictures of it. I believe that prize fights are demoralizing to all who attend them, especially boys and young men. The pictures of the fight when seen is not so demoralizing as seeing the actual fight. It is not so shocking to see the pictures of a murder as it is to see the real murder. I think all the preachers in the land should see the moving pictures of the fight, then preach against it for four successive Sundays, or offener, I think that every influential man should see these pictures, then talk against the fight on every appropriate occasion the rest of his life. Mr. Editor warn your people against placing too much importance on the fact that Johnson whipped Jeffries. As some editorials I have seen recently well says, "All that proves only that one black man whipped one white man. Jeffries beaten and bruised as he is can still whip Booker T. Washington." The knowing ones, the managers, were betting publicly on Jeffries, yet on the sly, putting up six dollars against ten in favor of Johnson. It is now believd that Jeffries helped to play the game, for he made a poor show. All that froth talk before the fight about the white man being so superior to the black man has quit. It was confidently said that the presence of Jeffries in the ring would scare Johnson out of it. But the negroes cant improve the standing of their race by hurrahing for their prize fighters. Let them take a far higher stand. —John T. Campbell. ger all vegetables that are eaten raw, such as lettuce, onions, radishes, celery, cabbage, etc., should be carefully and thoroughly washed before being served for food. Not long ago a case of typhoid was traced to this cause, namely vegetables, that had been washed at the farm in water from a polluted well. Hence this warning. The hot weather season is here; the kind of weather that kills the babies, unless they have clean milk and are properly fed. Of course, the mother's milk is the best. If cow's milk is used, it is important that it be clean and pure. The Department of Health is making every effort to protect the city's milk supply, for the reason that it is well known that dirty milk kills the babies. If you have a little baby in the house and are in doubt about your milk supply, let the Department know the name of your milk man and we'll tell you about him. CHICAGO, JULY 23, 1910. P. DR. DANIEL H. WILLIAMS. Eminent physician and surgeon who without a doubt stands at the top notch' of the medical profession. JACK JOHNSON HUSBAND, WHITE support and misconduct. Two women would be named as co-respondents. WOMAN ASSERTS. Special Correspondence, New York.—There is now stopping at the Hotel Albany on Broadway a Caucasian woman who announces that she is the lawfully wedded wife of John Arthur Johnson, Colored heavyweight champion of the world, and who further declares that she is about to sue him for divorce and $50,000 damages. Stopping at the same hotel and giving her moral support and sympathy is George Little of Chicago, who recently lost his job as manager of Johnson's pugilistic, financial and social destinies. The prospective divorce case plaintiff was seen in the parlor of the suite which Little is temporarily occupying. Several other women, all elaborately gowned, were also present. The professed Mrs. black Johnson wore a loose, flowing wrap of some pinkish stuff. She said her maiden name was Hattie McCray and that staid Philadelphia was her home. Marriage Paper Missing. In support of her assertion that Johnson was her husband, she first of all showed a collection of pictures, photographs, telegraphs and bills. She could not show her marriage certificate, she said, because the champion had carried off that valuable document, along with several other papers of importance, belonging to her. The former Miss McCray said she first met Johnson in August, 1907, in Marshall's cafe and went with him to Atlantic City and from there to Boston, where she was married to him on Sept. 28, by a magistrate, whose name she could not recall. She said also that she had lived with Johnson until Dec. 30, 1909, and had witnessed nearly all his fights, including the one with Tommy Burns in Australia. Also that the champion had basely, and in a manner unworthy of a gentlemen, whether white or Colored, deserted her, and that for the last six months she had been supported by remittances from the kindly Mr. Little, who modestly acknowledged that such was the case. Tells of Pawning Gems. As a further proof of her love which had now turned to hate, the pugilist's accuser said that on one occasion she had pawned all her diamonds and family heirlooms in order that Johnson might get money to go abroad, he being for the time financially embarrassed. Within a week, she declared, her lawyers in Chicago would file suit against Johnson for an absolute divorce and $50,000 damages, alleging cruel and barbarous treatment, non support and misconduct. Two women would be named as co-respondents, she said. At the Cafe Wilkins, in West Twenty-fifth street, the champion denied that the woman was his wife. He accused Little of influencing her to make trouble for him. Nothing is known by us of the merit of the claim of Miss McCray, that she is the lawfully wedded wife of Jack Johnson, and all we have to say, is; that here is one white lady, who is willing to acknowledge to the world; that she has been seeking social equality with Colored people; and that she is willing to call Johnson, her black darling, in order to grab on to some of his money. COST OF MAINTAINING A TUBER CULOSIS SANITORIUM. At Daily Average of $1,669 Country Could Save $150,000,000 Yearly. In a preliminary bulletin on the cost of maintaining a tuberculosis sanatorium, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis announces today that the average cost per patient per day in thirty semi-charitable sanatoria scattered in all parts of the United States is $1,669. These institutions represent an annual expenditure of over $1,300,000 and over $815,000 days of treatment given each year. The bulletin, which is part of an extensive study the National Association is making for its bureau of information, points out how the country could save annually at least $150,000,000, if the indigent consumptives were properly segregated. It was that the food cost in most institutions represented one third of the annual expenditures. The average daily food cost per patient was $0.544. The expenditures for salaries and wages represented nearly another third, being $0.481 per day per patient out of a total of $1.669. The fuel, oil and light cost was $2.06 per capita per diem or about one-eighth of the total cost. The daily cost in the several institutions ranged all the way from $0.946 per patient to $2.555. In the far West and Southwest, as in Colorado and New Mexico and California the cost was higher than in the East, in New York and New England, being $2.025 per patient as against $1.748. The total expenditures of the thirty institutions were $1,363,953.28, while the total receipts from all sources were $1,548,525.74. More than 70 per cent of the receipts were received from public funds and private benefactions, only 28.8 per cent being from patients. Stated in another way, only 35 per cent of the total expenditures were received from patients, the re- The Full Slate Tickets of the Democratic and Republican.

Which is intended to catch the voters coming and going.

Computing that there are in the United States at least 300,000 indigent consumptives who should be cared for in charitable or semi-charitable sanatoria and hospitals, the National Association estimates that the annual cost to the country for the treatment of these persons would be $50,000,000 at the rate of $1.669 per day per patient. At the lowest possible estimate, the country, loses $200,000,000 a year from the incapacity of these indigent victims of tuberculosis. This would mean a net saving of $150,000,000 a year to the United States if all cases of consumption who are too poor to afford proper treatment in expensive sanatoria were cared for at the expense of the municipality, county or state. And this annual gain does not include the enormous saving that would accrue from the lessened infection due to the segregation of the dangerous consumptives in institutions.

On the whole both the leading political parites in this county have trotted out some good men to make the race for the various offices, and it seems mighty funny that Irish-Americans are matched up side by side for certain offices and German-Americans are pitted up against each other at other points on the two tickets, and it looks as though the head bosses of both parties have stacked the cards so as to catch the voters going and coming. The Democratic harmony committee, acted very wisely in selecting Jorn E. Owens, to make the race, for judge of the County Court. Mr. Owens, is a tip-top lawyer, and has thousands and thousands of influential friends among all classes of his fellow citizens who will assist to elevate him to the Cook County bench. The Appomattox Club, the leading social organization among the Afro-Americans in Chicago, will give its eighth annual picnic at Fox River Grove, Monday, July 25. Trains will leave from the Northwestern station corner Wells and Kinzie streets; the time of their departure and return are announced in bold letters on the invitation cards, and if the weather is fine, all the leaders of society will join in the outing. At the convention of the national Asociation of Colored Women's Clubs, held in Louisville, Ky., the following officers were elected: Pres., Elizabeth Carter, Massachusetts; Vice Pres., Mrs. Booker T.

The Democratic harmony committee, acted very wisely in selecting Jorn E. Owens, to make the race, for judge of the County Court. Mr. Owens, is a tip-top lawyer, and has thousands and thousands of influential friends among all classes of his fellow citizens who will assist to elevate him to the Cook County bench. The Appomattox Club, the leading social organization among the Afro-Americans in Chicago, will give its eighth annual picnic at Fox River Grove, Monday, July 25. Trains will leave from the Northwestern station corner Wells and Kinzie streets; the time of their departure and return are announced in bold letters on the invitation cards, and if the weather is fine, all the leaders of society will join in the outing.

Court Rules That Cash Received In Answer to ‘Brush, Sah?” Can be Attached by Wife. ‘Tips to porters on a Pullman were officially recognized in the Superior Court by Judge Monroe as being 3 legitimate part of a man’s earnings, when he listened to testimony as to whether he should modify an order compelling, J. A. H. Eldridge to pay his wife Alice Eldridge $20 a month maintenance. Eldridge contended that he earned but $30 a month salary: “What's your business?” asked the court. “I'se a porter for the Southern Pa- cific,” replied the man. “Well then what about the tips you earn, how much do they amount to a month?” “Well, I guess they average about $20 2 month,” the man replied. “What kind of a porter are you.” asked the court. “Do you mean to say that all you can earn a month is $20? Now I know something about tips. Your run is from here to Chi- cago. That takes three days, and the cars are pretty well filled. There are ten sections and two drawing rooms. Every man between here and Chicago will pay you at least $1 for the trip.” ‘There was an indignant protest from Eldridge. “No inded, sab, no such sum as that, lots of time peo ple give ‘us nothing. You must be referring to the Owl—I only work on the: Limited.” ee But the court was obdurate and Eldridge must still pay the $20 2 ‘month—The above article is from a recent issue of The Examiner, of Los Angeles, California. J. A. H. Eldridge, referred to for about two years roomed with Mrs. Lula Wilson, the former wife of Grant ‘Wilson. They moved from 2937 Dear- born street to Prairie avenue, and from there to 5534 Drexel avenue and in time, it is said that in some way or another she became ‘the mother of a little girl, and it is claimed that ‘Mrs, Wilson followed Mr. Eldridge to Los Angeles) Cal., in the early part Of last January, where they resided at 1021 West 16th street in that city ‘at the same time taking French leave of his devoted and loving wife, who was a member of one of Chicago's best and oldest families. She was highly cultured and a young woman possessing a splendid Christian character, and it will be gratifying to the friends of Mrs. Eldridge in this city to learn that her husband has been unsuccessful in his effort, of casting her aside empty hand- ed and that he will be compelled to pay her $20 per month towards her ‘support out of his tips and salary. ‘It in indeed very much to be regret- ted; that so many young women be- longing to the better class; have all of their happiness ruined when they permit themselves to become united in mariage to worthless and unsteady young men; who take no thought of té-morrow and in a short time care nothing for the innocesit young wom- en, whom they induced to marry them ‘ander many false promises, and it is high time taht men parading in sheep's ‘lothing should be trust aside or driven to the rear.

A kind of seaweed which is plentiful on the coast of China furnishes an admirable glue and varnish. When dried it is waterproof, and it is employed to fill up the interstices in bamboo network, of which windows are frequently constructed in that country. It is also utilized to strengthen and varnish paper lanterns. The average amount of water that should be taken daily is from two to four pints, or from four to eight glasses. More water should be drunk in hot weather than in cold. Fire escapes were first made in Paris in 1761. Postage Stamps The inventor of the adhesive postage stamp was undoubtedly Rowland Hill, an Englishman, in 1837 he proposed the use of "a bit of paper just large enough to bear the stamp and covered at the back with a glutinous wash, which the buyer might by the application of a little moisture attach to the back of the letter."

Cuban Negroes Seek Legal Redress. The Negro situation in Cuba has recently assumed some very important phases. A large number of Negroes who were arrested some time ago have refused to be released on ball, claiming the right of free speech. General Freyse Andrade, secretary to former President Palma, has offered to defend the prisoners in their claim to be heard, and the situation now looks dark for the administration forces. VAN DORN WINS HIS CASE. Court Gives Aged Afro-American Clear Title to His Property. Justice Aspinall of the Queens county supreme court, New York, has decided that Primus Van Dorn, an aged Afro-American, is entitled to his home, which he has owned for forty-four years in Jamaica, N. Y. The land in question consists of four and a quarter acres and is valued at $15,000. Mr. Van Dorn paid $50 for it in 1886. He is now in the eighty-eighth year of his age. He is the son of a slave who was set free by his master in New Jersey and who afterward moved out on Long Island. The family settled in the Springfield section, which was then almost in the heart of a wilderness, midway between Jamaica and Far Rockaway. The family continued to reside on the place, and in 1856 young Van Dorn, then of age, married and purchased a plot from John Conselyea. The deed conveyed one and a quarter acres, more or less. The boundary was a little stream which has since dried up. As the years went by and the small water barrier was removed Van Dorn, who was engaging in farming pursuits, was a little careless of the amount of land he cultivated. No one told him to stop, and he worked a section containing nearly five acres. He testified that he has held adverse possession ever since, and in this he was corroborated by others. No one paid attention to him, because the land was not considered worth while bothering about. Recently, however, all the section around has been developed, and the value of the land rose. Then some of the heirs of the former John Conselyea decided to evict Mr. Van Dorn and gain possession of the land; but, having held it so long, he fought back. In the case that was submitted to the court all the facts were agreed upon, and it left but a question of law for the court to decide to whom the property belonged.

Derivation of Money The word "money" is derived from "moneta," a name given by the Romans to their silver pieces because coined in a building on the Capitoline hill attached to the temple of Jupiter Moneta. The officers in charge of the mint were called triumviri monteales, and Niebuhr thinks that they were introduced at the time when the Romans first began to coin silver. Standing Armies The first standing army of modern times was established by Charles VII. of France in 1445. In England the first standing army was organized in 1638. Folding a Man's Coat. To fold a man's coat lay the coat out perfectly flat with the inside down. The sleeves should be spread out smoothly and then folded back to the elbow until each end of the sleeve is even with the collar.
