SWANN AND CAREY T LASTING DISGRACE UPON HIS Within a few hours after The Broad Ax made its appearance last Friday evening at the news stands and later on on Saturday the people residing on the South Side near State Street rushed pell mell over each other in order to secure a copy of the paper, for they were just crazy to read all about the indictments pending against the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, secretary of the Illinois State Commission, in the Criminal Court of Cook County and in order to supply the great demand for copies of that issue of the paper, the article is reproduced word for word in another column of this paper. As stated in the last issue of The Broad Ax that the indictments have been pending against Mr. Swann in the Criminal Court of Cook County for over two years. If he is honest with himself he will cheerfully and willingly admit that he was forced to rush back to Chicago from New York City in October, 1912, where he was supposed to be the head manager in conducting or directing the brilliant campaign of his bosom friend, as he calls him, the Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, in order to answer present when his cases were called in the Criminal Court of this county, and Mr. Swann has been pulled into the Criminal Court on those same cases many times since, and prior to that time he entertained the idea that with the election of his friend, the Hon. Maclay Hoyne, state's attorney, and by having him to select his warm friend and champion, the Hon. J. Gray Lucas, as one of the assistant state's attorneys, that the indictments running against him with the aid or with the consent of Mr. Hoyne could or would be easily smothered and thrown out of the Criminal Court; but for some cause or other his well laid plan or scheme died a-berning before he was able to secure the services of a first class wet nurse to get it or the thing on its feet in good shape Right at this point it is almost useless to remind State's Attorney Hoyne that the eyes of the people of Cook county are fastened upon him and they are waiting to see if he will do his full duty and advocate the punishment of Mr. Swann to the fullest extent of the law, regardless of the fact that he wears the sign of the cross and loudly HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY boasts of the fact that "he is an honored member of the Roman Catholic Church." Saturday, September 27, 1913, and Saturday, October 11th, Saturday, October 18th, Mr. Swann was compelled to absent himself from his laborious duties as secretary of the Illinois State Commission and face Judges Theodore Brentano and Richard S. Tuthill in the criminal court, on Saturday, October 11, Judge Brentano, who denied or overruled a motion to quash the three indictments against Mr. Swann and he transferred his three cases to Judge Tuthill and on Saturday, October 18, shaking and trembling and fearing that Justice, the very thing he is not looking for, was about to overtake or catch up with him, appeared before his Honor Judge Tuthill, who will do his duty—close his judicial eyes and deal out even-handed justice fair and square. The three cases against Mr. Swann were then and there continued by Judge Tuthill until Monday morning, November 10th. Those indicted on July 15th, 1911, for assault and battery and conspiracy in attempting to defeat the ends of justice were as follows: The Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, Mrs. Ella Martin, John Bell, Tom Thompson, Alexander Mosher and Mr. Martin, the grand jury, after listening to all the evidence against Mrs. Birdie Parish finally decided that she permitted herself against her will to be led into the disgraceful and murderous affair through her sister, Mrs. Ella Martin, and as a result of its conclusions no true bill was returned against Mrs. Parish and the actions of the grand jury in that respect met with the hearty approval of the late John E. W. Wayman who was at that time state's attorney of Cook county. The three indictments against Mr. Swann are numbers 140, 141 and 142, and they were returned and recorded on July 20th, 1911. No. 3366 term, P. g. d. term 96900, assault and battery, etc.; they are also written in the Lamb's Book of Life, better known as the Indictment Record No. 185, page 136. Any one can gaze upon them, by simply asking Mr. Kane, the gentlemanly dockel clerk—who sits at the desk in the center of the outer office of Hon. Frank J. Walsh, clerk of the criminal CHICAGO. OCTOBER. 25 1913 [Name not visible in the image] HON. EDWARD J. GLACKIN. State Senator From the 17th District, Secretary of the Board of Local Improvements, Up-to-date Business Man Who Is Slated to Become the Next Postmaster of Chicago. Hon. Edward J. Glackin, who was of the Knights of Pythias, Knights of Columbus, and he is one of the big Democratic politicians on the west side. He is happily married and resides with his lovely family at 265 South Morgan Street. At the last session of the general assembly of Illinois, Senator Glackin worked day and night against the enactments of "Jim Crow" legislation which had no other object in view but to degrade and humiliate all the Colored people residing in this state; and he is deserving of the highest praise from all the Afro-Americans for boldly standing up for right and justice in that direction. When Senator Glackin becomes postmaster of Chicago, each and every one of its citizens regardless of race, color or politics, will receive a square deal Hon. Edward J. Glackin, who was of the Knights of Pythias, Knights of Columbus, and he is one of the big Democratic politicians on the west side. He is happily married and resides with his lovely family at 265 South Morgan Street. At the last session of the general assembly of Illinois, Senator Glackin worked day and night against the enactments of "Jim Crow" legislation which had no other object in view but to degrade and humiliate all the Colored people residing in this state; and he is deserving of the highest praise from all the Afro-Americans for boldly standing up for right and justice in that direction. When Senator Glackin becomes postmaster of Chicago, each and every one of its citizens regardless of race, color or politics, will receive a square deal court, on the main floor of that building, and either Mr. Kane or one of his assistants in the vault without the least cost or trouble will produce the three indictments for you, which are still running against the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann. On Monday morning, August 18, Attorney B. F. Moseley, Major Robert R. Jackson and the writer met the Rt. Rev. Bishop Samuel Fallows, chairman of the Illinois State Commission, who at one time conducted some kind of a saloon himself on Washington Street, opposite the old city hall, in the office of a mutual friend in the City Hall Square Building, and after a long exchange of ideas upon the subject under discussion and before withdrawing from his presence he warned us to write nothing but the truth in relation to the past conduct or career of Messrs. Swann and Carey, we looked him right square in his eyes for a moment and very politely intimated that in the future we would endeavor to do so, and hew as close to the line as we possibly could and keep "within the law." The names of the following witnesses on the face of the three indictments against Mr. Swann, who appeared in the name of the people of Illinois before the Cook county grand jury at that time: Jesse Binga, Harry Smith, John Elliott, Off. Ahern and Henry J. Mitchell, and if all signs do not fail Mr. Swann and some of his co-defendants are already headed for the "Bull Pen" at Joliet, Illinois. And when he read The Broad Ax last Saturday and learned that three indictments were hanging over the head of the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann in the criminal court of Cook county, it of the Knights of Pythias, Knights of Columbus, and he is one of the big Democratic politicians on the west side. He is happily married and resides with his lovely family at 265 South Morgan Street. At the last session of the general assembly of Illinois, Senator Glackin worked day and night against the enactments of "Jim Crow" legislation, which had no other object in view but to degrade and humiliate all the Colored people residing in this state; and he is deserving of the highest praise from all the Afro-Americans for boldly standing up for right and justice in that direction. When Senator Glackin becomes postmaster of Chicago, each and every one of its citizens regardless of race, color or politics, will receive a square deal caused the good Bishop to reel and stagger like unto some one half intoxicated, and it was a knock-out or a body-blow to him. It does seem to us and it should seem the same way to every decent and honest person, be they of high or of low degree, rich or poor, black or white, Jew or Gentile, namely, that if Bishop Fallows possesses any pride, self-respect or manhood he would vigorously protest from this day and forever more against permitting his good name from being hurled around the world in connection with Messrs. Swann and Carey. Since assuming the secretaryship of the Illinois State Commission Mr. Swann, with a reputation almost as dark as midnight and with a bold and daring cunning which surpasses all understanding, aspires to become the head social leader among the very best Afro-American ladies and gentlemen residing in this city. Not so long ago he gave two elaborate luncheons, one at Mrs. A. T. Smiley, Pondors, 3356 Calumet Avenue, and the other was given at the Carter Mansion, 3256 Rhodes Avenue, and some of the most prominent lawyers, doctors and their wives and many and other distinguished social lights graced both occasions with their presence. (We come mighty near saying that they disgraced the occasions.) And those eminent social leaders, some of them entertaining and associating with Mrs. Booker T. Washington when she blows into town, greatly enjoyed the free doings at the expense of Mr. Swann; and one of the ladies who dished up the repast informed the writer to the effect that "she was forced to do a lot of real high kicking before she received her money for serving the fine eating on Hon. Wm. Sulzer is still the Idol of the People of the Great State of New York Before Departing from Albany POR NEW YORK CITY WHERE HE WILL BECOME THE CANDIDATE OF THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY. HIS STEADFAST FRIENDS IN ALBANY PRESENTED HIM WITH A FINE SILVER LOVING CUP. THE PEOPLE IN NEW YORK CITY ARE GOING WILD OVER HIM. EACH AND EVERY NIGHT HE ADDRESSES MANY THOUSANDS OF THEM AT HIS MASS MEETINGS. WEDNESDAY EVENING MORE THAN FIFTY THOUSAND PEOPLE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THAT CITY WILDLY CHEERED HIM WHILE HE WAS ENGAGED IN THROWING HOT SHOT AT CHARLES F. MURPHY, LEADER OF TAMMANY HALL. MES. SULZER JOINS IN THE FIGHT WITH HER HUSBAND AND WILL DELIVER SPEECHES IN FAVOR OF HIS ELECTION TO THE LEGISLATURE OF THAT STATE. The unfair trial of Gov. William Sulzer of New York by its "so-called" high court of impeachment. whose members from the highest to the lowest, with few honorable exceptions, were absolutely under the control of political influence and they fully realized that if they failed to carry out the wishes of their political bosses or masters, and refuse to vote in favor of the removal of Gov. William Sulzer from his office, whether he was guilty or innocent of committing wrong, that it meant political death to each and every one of them. Without any question about it, Mr. Sulzer is the most popular man to-day in the Empire State, more than than he was while serving as its governor, for the people are continuing to go wild about him, for they honestly feel deep down in their hearts of hearts that he did not receive a square deal during his impeachment trial. Each night this week he has addressed many mass meetings in New York City, and on Wednesday evening by being rushed in an auto from meeting to meeting he spoke to more than fifty thousand people living on the east Hence, his impeachment, and the acts of those who assisted to bring it about without a just cause has passed into history with much discredit to themselves and to the everlasting credit to Governor Sulzer, he drank in his bitter medicine like a true man and he fully intends to fight the gang of grafting politicians who infest the Empire State and grow rich at the expense of the people to the bitter end. Prior to the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Sulzer for New York City, where they will reside in the future, many of his steadfast friends residing in Albany, New York, as a token of their continued friendship for him presented him with an elegant silver loving cup. that most auspicious and very brilliant occasion." Inasmuch as the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., stated to the writer in the State house at Springfield, Ill., June 11, 1913, that "the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann had held him up for one hundred dollars—that he blew the money in in having one high old time—that he is dishonest—that he had disgraced him many times in the past—that he is unworthy of the respect and confidence of honest and high-minded, respectable men," and so on. Therefore Governor Edward F. Dunne should rise up in his might or manhood and free himself from the unsavory influence of Messrs. Swann and Carey and not permit them to bring everlasting disgrace upon his administration. THE BOSTON (MASSACHUSETTS) . RELIANCE AND ADVOCATE COMMENTS ON THE UNMINSTERIAL CONDUCT ON THE PART OF THE HON. REV. ARCHIBALD JACKSON CAREY, PH. D. D. D. The Advocate, of Boston and Cambridge, Mass., which is ably edited by J. Thomas Harrison, and The Reliance, of Boston, of recent dates contained comments on our article on the unministerial conduct on the part of the Rev. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., which appeared in the columns of The Broad Ax September 27. By reading the article in question backward, brother Harrison somewhat got the idea into his head in his comment on the article that we had waited 11 years before anything had been said or written in connection with the dis- No. 4 Without any question about it, Mr. Sulzer is the most popular man to-day in the Empire State, more so than he was while serving as its governor, for the people are continuing to go wild about him, for they honestly feel deep down in their hearts of hearts that he did not receive a square deal during his impeachment trial. Each night this week he has addressed many mass meetings in New York City, and on Wednesday evening by being rushed in an auto from meeting to meeting he spoke to more than fifty thousand people living on the east side of that city. For eighteen long years he had represented those same people in the halls of congress at Washington, D. C., and they wildly cheered him and warmly received him at each meeting while he was engaged in throwing red-hot shot at Charles F. Murphy, the high priest and leader of Tammany hall. Mrs. Sulzer, who is one of the noblest women in this country, has joined her husband in his fight for his political life and she will also deliver speeches in favor of his election to the legislature of that state from the sixth assembly district, and nothing but death can prevent him from winning out in his present contest. graceful escapade of Rev. Carey during the Sunday-school union convention held at Milwaukee, Wis., in July, 1903. If brother Harrison will take the trouble to carefully re-read the article he will learn that it was stated in it that a full account of the Milwaukee Sunday-school Conference and the disgraceful conduct on the part of some of the half-drunken preachers who attended it, appeared in the columns of The Broad Ax Saturday, August 22, 1903, and the article September 27, 1913, was practically a reproduction of the former article and it was published for the sole purpose of letting the world know that Rev. Carey is still a chip from the same old block, and that he has no moral right to pose as an honorable, upright, straight-forward Christian soldier of the cross, or a great leader of the Afro-American race. Dr. George Dorsay Declares American Complexions Will Grow Darker. "Americans are destined to become much darker of complexion, because there are 10,000,000 Negroes who must be absorbed by the White people," said Dr. George A. Dorsay of the Field Museum in speaking before the Adventurers' Club at its tenth dinner in St. Hubert's Grill last Saturday night. "This absorption by the White race makes it positive that the time will come when there will be no full-blooded Negroes." "The White man has accomplished nothing that the opposite race cannot do. The White race is dominant because the laws of chance have operated in its favor." THE BROAD AX PUBLISHED WEEKLY.

HEALTH NOTES According to the London Lancet, 77,000 tons of soot fell in that city during the year 1912. This vast amount of aerial filth came from the chimneys and smoke stacks of 6,000,000 people and contained 6,000 tons of ammonia, 8,000 tons of sulphates, and 3,000 tons of chlorides and carbons, tar, tin and lead. The effects of London's dirty and soot-laden air are to be seen in its corrosive action on all metal surfaces and on the exteriors of all stone buildings. Neither can there be any doubt as to the injurious effects of an atmosphere so heavily charged with soot and filth on the lungs of the people who are compelled to breathe it. In all large cities where there are large industrial plants together with steam railways and steam ships; there is found to be a soot and smoke burdened atmosphere that is not good for people to breathe. One of the big problems of municipal sanitation yet to be solved is that of getting better air for city dwellers. Much progress has been made along these lines, but much yet remains to be done. The final solution no doubt lies in electricity as a motive light and power, furnished from a comparatively few large central plants and these plants so constructed and operated as to insure the most perfect combustion and therefore a minimum amount of smoke discharged into the air. --- Teach your children that the mouth is intended to receive food and drink only. This is important for the reason that, as every one knows, all children are inclined to put almost everything they have into their mouth. This they do to help them to determine whether it is good to eat and to help them to form an idea as to its value or use to them as an object of pleasure or amusement or both. Anyhow it seems to be that this is a child's way of investigating most objects which it comes in contact with, not excepting even, its own dirty fingers. . . . And while we are on the subject of child hygiene, it will not be amiss to call attention to some other important facts as to the mouth and nose. For example, children should be taught that the mouth and nose always contain bacteria; that sputum and discharges from either are laden with germs and are therefore dangerous. This means that children should not bite, lick or suck pencils, penholders or other objects of use. Such habits are dangerous to health and should be avoided. In other words the most persistent and careful attention should be paid to habits of personal cleanliness. --- It takes, according to some authorities, at least three generations of education to bring about radical changes in human habits and methods. This is why in all public health work we do not see immediate and general results from efforts made to teach people what they should do to avoid many of the preventable ills of life. What we have always been accustomed to do, we are not always ready to cease doing unless we are pretty forcefully convinced that it will pay us in very material and practical ways. This is, perhaps, an unfortunate trait of human nature, but it seems to be true. People's habits have a great deal to do with the spread of communicable diseases. And the fight that is now being made against most of these is directed along the lines of getting people to change their habits. For example, in the dirty air diseases, bronchitis, pneumonia, catarrh and consumption, much emphasis is laid upon the necessity of getting a plentiful supply of fresh, pure air in our homes and work places, all the time. And so on through all the long list of diseases that people may avoid if only they do the things they should do, it is largely a question of inducing them to change their habits. PROTESTS RACE SEGREGATION. Washington, Oct.-Dr. William Sinclair, national field secretary of the Constitutional League, has presented President Wilson with a petition against race segregation in government departments. MUNICIPAL JUDGE WADE STORED ATTORNEY J. N. SIMMS AWAY IN UNPLEASANT QUARTERS AT THE 56TH STREET POLICE STATION FOR A SHORT TIME. Not so long ago, Mrs. Marie Taylor, who is not any too bright when it comes down to dealing with sharper, sold her restaurant at 3116 S. State St. to Charles Gaskins, who was to pay $250 for it, paying $100 down and $100 in notes. Mr. Gaskins being wise or sharp, had the notes and mortgage made out in the name of his daughter, Miss Esther Gaskins, 3612 Prairie Avenue. Nettner one of them signed the papers which was given to Mrs. Taylor, to hold security, and before the first note became due, Mr. Gaskins moved all of his things out of the store at 3116 State Street and stored them in the basement of his home at the above mentioned number, and Mrs. Taylor, being unable to locate her goods and chattels, she sought the legal advice of Attorney De Witt H. Hardin, 3522 S. State Street, who made short work of the whole transaction by rounding Mr. Gaskins and Miss Gaskins up in the 35th Street branch of the Municipal Court last Thursday afternoon. And after Attorney Hardin explained the whole matter to Judge Wade, the judge made Mr. Gaskins and Miss Gaskins tell where the goods were belonging to Mrs. Taylor, and informed them that they would either sign up the papers properly before his clerk, right then and there, so that Mrs. Taylor could secure her property or go straight to jail. At first they kicked and balked, but they finally wilted and signed up the papers. Attorney J. N. Simms had been employed to defend them, at that point kicked up and roared and declared that Judge Wade had no right to enforce his gag rule and compel Mr. Gaskins or Miss Gaskins to sign the papers, depriving them of their property, even if they had obtained it by resorting to sharp practice and by pulling the wool over the eyes of Mrs. Taylor. Judge Wade requested Attorney Simms to cease talking nonsense in his attempt to defend a dishonest transaction. This Mr. Simms would not do. Then Judge Wade held that he was in contempt of court. All the while Mr. Simms growing hotter and hotter in the collar. Finally Judge Wade ordered his bailiffs to lay their hands on Mr. Simms and store him away in unpleasant quarters in the 35th Street station for one hour, and the outcome of the whole affair was that Mrs. Taylor secured all the goods belonging to her, receiving justice at the hands of Judge Wade, and Attorney Hardin assisted to extract or pull Mr. Simms out of his unpleasant quarters. PLEASANT GATHERING OF THE COLORED PHYSICIANS. The South Side Colored Physicians held their first meeting of the season on Wednesday night, October 15th, at the Cafe de Luxe, 3528 Wabash Av. The meeting was well attended bringing out many old timers who had not heretofore taken part, among them Drs. D. E. Burrows, G. W. Prince, Thomas and Cotton. A feeling of good fellowship was among all present. The following officers were elected for the coming year: President, Dr. H. A. Turner; vice-president, Dr. T. S. Officer; secretary, Dr. Carl Roberts; ass't secretary, Dr. F. G. Trapp; treasurer, W. N. Thomas. The president, Dr. H. A. Turner, delivered a splendid address on the future of the organization, laying out a program for the coming year, among which will be held in the various churches, at which scientific papers will be read and discussed. The members, all full of enthusiasm, then retired to the dining room where Miss Hurley with her usual pleasing smiles served them with a splendid regale. Here many pleasant memories were recited and stories told. All pledged themselves to work for the good of the order. Ex-Com. Drs. Spencer, Dickerson, M. R. Bibbs, J. H. Plummer and Dr. M. J. Brown. GOOD NEWS FOR THE NEEDY. A carload of old furniture, clothing and provisions was received last week by the Chicago Christian Industrial League, 12 East Twelfth Street, from citizens of Fairbury, Ill., who also paid the freight bill. The church people of Fairbury learned of the work of the league in reclaiming men who were temporarily down and solicited all the old clothing, furniture and other goods from their neighbors and connigned it to Rev. George A. Kilbey, superintendent of the league. The furniture and clothing will be repaired by men housed by the league, and then sent to their five distributing stores in different parts of the city to be sold at a low price. The proceeds of their sale will help the league to give more unemployed men work and shelter. The Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, Secretary of the Illinois State Commission Indicted Three Times by the Cook County Grand Jury HE IS CHARGED WITH ASSAULT AND BATTERY AND CONSPIRACY, AND HIS BONDS IN THE THREE CASES AMOUNT TO $3,100. JUDGE THEODORE BRENTANO IN THE FIRST BRANCH OF THE CRIMINAL COURT DENIED A MOTION LAST SATURDAY TO QUASH THE INDICTMENTS AGAINST MR. SWANN. AND HE WILL BE PUT ON TRIAL BEFORE JUDGE RICHARD S. TUT-HILL IN THE SECOND BRANCH OF THE CRIMINAL COURT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WILL THE SIGN OF THE CROSS PREVENT MR. SWANN FROM BEING CONVICTED? AND IF HE IS CONVICTED AND SENT TO THE PEN AT JOLIET, WILL GOVERNOR DUNNE BEACH OUT HIS HAND AND PARDON HIM?

SOME OF THE WIVES OF THE HEAD OFFICERS OF THE EIGHTH REGIMENT, ILLINOIS NATIONAL GUARD, IN CAMP THE PAST SUMMER FELT HIGHLY HONORED TO HAVE MR. SWANN TO ESCORT THEM ABOUND. THERE IS ONLY ONE MANLY COURSE FOR GOVERNOR EDWARD F. DUNNE TO ADHERE TO AND THAT IS TO CALL FOR THE RESIGNATIONS OF THE HON. THOMAS WALLACE SWANN AND THE REVON. ARCHIBALD JACKSON CAREY, PH. D. D. D., AND REMOVE THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE COMMISSION FROM INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH. It has been honestly and truthfully stated in these columns many times before, namely, that we hold no malice nor bitterness nor ill-feeling against the Honorable Thomas Wallace Swann, but if we should be ushered into the next world in the twinkling of an eye with all of our imperfections resting on our head we would still be firm or steadfast in our contention that Mr. Swann has no moral right to arrogate unto himself the absolute or the true leadership of all the Afro-Americans within the confines of Illinois. From no point of view does he possess the slightest qualifications which entitles him to hold himself out as a leader of men, for he has no control over himself and again no sane or sensible man would ever attempt to aspire to become a leader of men who has not the slightest conception of the eternal fitness of things, who is ever ready to transform himself into a dead tough or rough and tumble prizefighter—one who entertains the idea that the only way to lead or to handle men is to rule over them with brute force and that it is eminently right and proper DEN [Image of a man with a mustache and a high-collared shirt].

Right at this point it may not be out of place to remind Mr. Swann that there are two important things that he should remember to the end of his time here on this old earth, and that is that his uncontrolable temper has at last brought him face to face with doing or serving time behind the bars either in the Cook County jail or behind the bars in the pen at Joliet, Illinois, and that every time that he scores a point against the right he simply loads the dice against himself. The present trouble confronting Mr. Swann in the Criminal Court of Cook county started back in 1911, and it has been hanging fire from that time to the present. It appears, according to the indictments which have been running against him all that time that he started out fully determined to assist to defeat the ends of justice, the true story in connection with his indictments runs something like this: In the fall of 1910 1. estate who labors under the hallucination Afro-Americans residing in the middle nas Wallace Swann, Secretary of the as three indictments hanging over his k County. Mrs. Ella Martin and her sister, Mrs. Birdie Parish, rented a house from Jesse Binga at 3638 Forest avenue, and for some cause or other he was unable to collect any rent from them. Finally, in a gentlemanly way he resorted to the Municipal Court in order to regain possession of his property, and at the time he secured judgment against them in the aforesaid court they owed him fifteen months' rent and on May 25th, 1911, the officers of the law entered their home where they had enjoyed free rent for a long time, and in a lawful manner removed all of their furniture and other fixings out on the sidewalk where they remained piled up until May 30th, and on that date it is charged in the indictment that the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann who at that time wanted to become the head political boss of Gary, Ind., and of this city and a number of prize-fighting or dead tough men hailing from the First ward, wended their way to the house in question; that they made a mad or wild murderous rush for the door; that they broke it open; that they assaulted Harry Smith, whom Mr. Binga had placed in charge of the house, and that they moved everything belonging to Mrs. Martin and to Mrs. Parish back into the house where they again resided for some time without paying any rent. On July 15, 1911, the Cook County grand jury returned indictments against Mrs. Ella Martin, and Messrs. Swann and Martin. Mr. Swann in the three indictments is charged with assault and battery and with conspiring to defeat the ends of justice and Mrs. Laura Beasley, residing at 3245 Forest avenue, and Adam Leewey, who resides in South Chicago, signed his bond for $3,100. On last Saturday a motion was made before Judge Theodore Brentano sitting in the first branch of the Criminal Court, to quash the indictments running against Mr. Swann, but the motion was denied or overruled and he will be forced to trial before Judge Richard S. Tuthill in the second branch of the Criminal Court in the near future. The burning question which is uppermost in the minds of many people is simply this, Will the sign of the cross prevent Mr. Swann from being convicted of these charges in the criminal court of Cook County? And if he is convicted and sent to the pen at Joliet, will Governor Dunne reach out his hand or strong arm and pardon him, so that he can continue to serve as the secretary of the Illinois State Commission? Another pause for a reply! With these three indictments hanging over him here in Cook County and with some kind of trouble so they claim hanging over his head at Gary or Hammond, Ind., some of the wives of the head officers of the Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guards, in camp at Springfield the past summer felt highly honored to have Mr. Swann escort them around and he was by far the social lion on that occasion. He succeeded in making the majors and colls. believe that he stood so close to Governor Dunne, and was so powerful that he could have them unstripped of their shoulder straps and so on, or words to the same effect, and like the fair ladies of the regiment, they were ready and willing to pay homage to him. There is only one manly course for Gov. Dunne to pursue and that is to call for the resignations of the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann and the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D., D. D., and remove the headquarters of the commission from the Institutional church. MRS. MARTHA B. ANDERSON RETURNS HOME FROM A DELIGHTFUL PLEASURE AND SINGING TOUR THROUGH THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST. On September '15, Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, soprano soloist, 6450 Champlain Avenue, left on a long pleasure and singing tour through the South and Southwest. She attended the National Baptist Convention at Nashville, Tenn., and sang twice before it, to the great delight of vast audiences. On September 23 she sang at the opening of the state normal school. Then she visited Memphis, Tenn., where she gave more than a successful recital. While in that city she was the guest of Miss Mollie Franklin, who gave her a most enjoyable time with her many friends. From Memphis she traveled on down into Oklahoma and gave a recital at Oklahoma City and at four other points in that state. Thursday evening, October 23, she delighted the music loving people of Kansas City, Mo., arriving home yesterday. Everywhere she went she was cordially and most enthusiastically received and royally entertained, many honors being showered upon her, and those who heard her sing expressed great desire and hope that at no distant date in the future she would return and again charm them with her sweet singing. Booker T. Washington, Jr., is attending the pharmaceutical department of the Northwestern University this city. He is stopping at the Y. M. C. A. WEEK-END WHISPERS. "Mr. So and So has filed a petition in bankruptcy, his assets are $499.00 and his liabilities are $25,000."—"Mrs. X. Y. Z., the well-known Federal Street modiste, was to-day declared a bankrupt when her case was called before Referee Blue. Her liabilities amounted to $1,500. Silk Skirt & Co. were responsible for this action being unable to collect a debt of $750.00. Her assets were given as $200.46." Items like these are familiar to every newspaper reader, but real interest in bankruptcy proceedings was not awakened until last week when The Broad Ax published the details of the case of Dr. Anna Beatrice Schultz-Knighten. Now it is whispered that every lady in town has asked her legal friends about the law and some have gone to far as to pass "2719" State Street. Whisper says that they have been surprised at the unkept appearance of the place and wondered where the dashing Doctor is. Mr. W. B. H. is to be married. Heretofore the mere suggestion of H. getting married started his friends to chuckling, for the jolly railroader was regarded as an eighteen-karat, dyed-in-the-wool, blown-in-the-bottle, hermetically sealed, hopelessly incurable bachelor. But the charming Mrs. A. D. D. happened to be "the dearest girl in the world," and his capitulation is complete. Mrs. D. you will remember formerly lived on Langley Avenue. After she separted from her husband she moved to Milwaukee and from there to New York. She returned to the city some months ago, and the marriage is to take place here. When you receive your invitation, remember that you first read it in Week-End Whispers. Another whisper—you know H. has been running to New York for many years. Sunday night a quartette of young misses found out that they were not as wise as Mother and Father. These young ladies were above playing hooky from high school, but Sunday afternoon and evening their explanation of their whereabouts did not satisfy the parents of one of the girls. The other parents were consulted and the happy four were watched. The result was that at a certain corner the number was increased to eight, the young men without hesitancy taking the arm of his favorite. The afternoon was spent walking up and down the popular streets with an occasional stop for ice cream sodas and candy. When the first performance at a State Street theatre began the party occupied an entire row of seats. Then came the denouement—it was not spectacular—one of the girls happened to turn around and discovered her parents a few seats behind her. She whispered to the rest and they hastily "beat it." In one case Mother's turn came next day. The young lady has been indisposed ever since and she can not be reached by telephone as the instrument has been taken out. No names this time. In every sensational murder the police or the reporters generally find an Afro-American before the case is ended. These brilliant investigators had better look to their laurels for over at the Appomattox Club one of the members—a prominent member of the local bar—has discovered a copper-colored individual in the Harry Thaw case. In polite circles the reception and ball by the National Negro Semi-Centennial Exposition Association Thanksgiving night is all the talk. Considerable zest has been given to the affair by Madame Grundy who says that there will be many surprises at this ball. It will be more like the inaugural ball at Washington so far as outside attendance is concerned; as early as two months ago the social lights of many cities were invited to participate. Coming as it does on a holiday night it will no doubt be largely attended. Some of the contemplated surprises are already known. Also something about the gowns to be worn. It may be wise for you to read Week-End Whispers next week. --- Hurrah! for the Court of Domestic Relations. Mrs. Jones and her darling little three-year old daughter have just returned from that institution of solace to weary married folks. Jones started off all right, but he fell by the roadside. He draws down a $60.00 check every month and makes extra money on the side. Lately his wife has not seen any part of these checks. What hubby called LOVE was supposed to feed and dress baby, pay the rent, etc. Here is where the Court of Domestic Relations comes in, but the story is a long one. LANGSTON APPOINTED IN N. Y. Ralph E. Langston Made Special Agent in Internal Revenue Department of Treasury Department. Another Federal Democratic Appointment has been made under the Wilson administration. Mr. Ralph E. Langston of New York City has been appointed a special agent in the internal revenue department of the treasury department under Secretary of the Treasury MeAdoo.

The sermon was very inspiring and the audience was moved to many hearty amens. The sermon preached in the afternoon by Dr. Lord was a splendid effort and well received. The Doctor is an earnest and forceful preacher. The evening was up to the usual standard. Dr. Callis gave us another splendid sermon on "Life Building." The following persons united with the church during the day: Mr. Isaac Coates, Mr. D. P.

DUDLEY MALONE. NEGEO A U. S. DEPUTY MARSHAL Charles King, a New York Colored man, was appointed a United States Deputy Marshal by Marshal Henkel last week. He is the first Negro to fill the position in this district. After being sworn in he was assigned to duty as guard at District-Attorney Marshall's office. MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES. When Miss Aida Overton-Walker comes to Chicago to fill a special week's engagement at the Pekin Theatre, beginning November 3, she will find the same corial welcome that has always been accorded her here. Aside from the fact that she is the leading artist of her race, she has many friends in this city who love her just as well off the stage. With a charming personality that is hard to define she is always elaborately entertained. She still possesses the charm and freshness that has made her the idol of the American stage, and her special engagement will no doubt be the theatrical event of the season. She will be assisted by her own all-star concert company. Mme. Schumann-Heink, who made famous "If I Forget," by de Koven Thompson and Alfred Anderson, has found another protege. He is James McNamara, a policeman from Paterson, N. J. He is said to possess a wonderful barytone voice and at Mme. Heink's request has registered as a pupil at the Ann Arbor (Mich.)

Mrs. Nancy J. Nelson of Cincinnati, Ohio, who has been a reader of The Broad Ax for the last six or seven years and who always pays her subscription to it promptly without the least dunning, forwarded us a lovely card, wishing us many more happy umphteenth birthdays. Mrs. Noah D. Thompson of Los Angeles, Cal., is on her way to Hoboken, N. J., where she will visit friends for a short while and from that point she will sail for Vienna, Austria.

Abraham Lincoln Demond Cover Wide Field. Charleston, S. C.—Twenty-two years ago the Rev. Abraham Lincoln DeMond was ordained to the Christian ministry by a Congregational council at Fort Payne, Ala. His career as a Congregational minister and missionary has been as interesting as that of any colored man connected with that denomination. He has pastored more colored Congregational churches than any other minister in the United States, says the Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. Among these pastorates have been several of the largest colored Congregational churches of the south. He has pastored the famous Central Congregational church of New Orleans, La.; the First Congregational church of Montgomery, Ala., and the First Congregational church of Macon, Ga., with marked success. His labors as a missionary in the black belt of Georgia, in the mountains of North Carolina and at Burton Ia, were eminently successful. As a representative Congregationalist he has been elected moderator of the state convention of Alabama and the state convention of Georgia. He has been a delegate to both national and international Congregational councils. He presided at the first meeting called in Boston in 1890 for the purpose of organizing the colored Congregationalists of the country into a national body. He is a contributor to the Congregationalist of Boston and the Advance of Chicago, the two leading papers of that denomination. He has been chaplain of the Iowa state legislature. In the year 1898 he was made a life member of the American Missionary association. Rev. Mr. DeMond is a graduate of Howard university, Washington, where he received his degree in theology. Aside from his ministerial labors he has been active in educational and editorial work, having been a teacher in the State Normal school in Alabama and editor of the Buxton (la.) Gazette during that paper's existence. He is much in demand as a platform speaker and his lecture on "The Climbers," "Coming Along" and "The Black Man's World" are very popular. Since Jan. 1, 1911, he has been pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church in this city, where under his leadership the church has been very successful. Rev. A. L. DeMond, B. D., after twenty-two years of service in his church is one of the leading colored Congregational ministers of the United States. SCHOOL AT NEW AUGUSTINE INCREASING IN USEFULNESS What Principal E. H. Woods Is Doing For St. Augustine Institute. The St. Augustine Industrial institute at New Augustine, Fla., is steadily coming into prominence and greater usefulness as an educational center for the people of that section of the state. The school was founded in 1903 and is chartered under the laws of the state, but not under its control. It is mainly supported by voluntary contributions. Instruction is given in English and the various trades under competent teachers The principal of the school is E. Howard Woods, a young man of sterling worth and character, who is intensely interested in the development of the work. Mr. Woods spent the summer in the north, working in the interest of the institution, and met with much success in acquainting the public with the work and needs of the school. The board of trustees is co-operating with the principal in the work with much earnestness and vigor. The outlook for the present school year, which began the first week in October, is very promising for a large enrollment of students. The members of the board of trustees are: Dr. D. W. Roberts, chairman; E. H. Woods, secretary; S. M. Mayes, treasurer; Rev. G. M. Elliott, D. D.; L. Daniels, Rev. C. S. Daniels, D. D.; R. B. Bassa, H. H. Williams and E. L. Anderson. LOYAL SONS OF AFRICA Purpose of the Most Recently Formed Society in New York.

W. Carpenter of Worcester, Mass., has celebrated her one hundred and seventh birthday. She is a member of the Michigan branch of the D. A. R. Frau von Bohlen und Halbach, who was Bertha Krupp before her marriage and now the owner of the great Krupp gun works at Essen, Germany, is one of the richest women in the world. She is only twenty-six years of age, and her estimated wealth is $100,000,000. Frau Emille Broome of Stockholm is said to be the best authority in Europe on the subject of continuation schools and is in charge of the schools of Stockholm, both as the head of the continuation schools and as supreme directress of the elementary schools of the city. Professor Lillian J. Martin, on whom the honorary degree of doctor of philosophy has just been conferred by the University of Bonn, Germany, and said to be the first American woman to have received this distinction, is a member of the faculty of Stanford university, California. Income Tax Quips. Perhaps you belong to the class whose incomes are $3,000 a year. No?—Chicago Tribune. Has any one studied the income tax provisions to see whether the profits of absconding cashiers are sufficiently taxed?—Washington Star. Press agents who write about the fabulous salaries of their stars will have to be more cautious when the income tax becomes operative.—Washington Post. Still, a good many people would be willing to pay the 7 per cent upon it if some one would only provide them with the million dollar income.—New York World. Aerial Flights. The faith of Count Zeppelin himself in the practicability of the dirigible balloon appears to be doomed to ultimate extinction. But it will die hard.—Chicago Tribune. Nowadays the newspapers content themselves with reporting the death of an aviator without stopping to give us more theories on "Swiss cheese" atmosphere.—Des Moines Register and Leader. The French aviator Pegoud, who has been looping the loop with his machine, is the sensation of the hour among flying men. After he breaks his neck everybody will draw the obvious moral.—New York World. College and School In the Munich schools attendance is compulsory for girls up to sixteen years. Heads of colleges in British universities are variously known as "wardens," "masters," "principals," "rectors," "provosts," "presidents," "deans" and "censors." The University of Pennsylvania had its beginning at Philadelphia in 1740. It was chartered in 1753 as the academy and charitable school in the province of Pennsylvania and received a further charter as a college in 1755. Its present title dates from 1791. The Royal Box. King George of England as a yachtman is to be shown on a series of new Rhodesian stamps. Dowager Queen Alexandra of England discards two pairs of gloves daily during the year. She spends $30,000 a year in Paris for her dresses and her jewels. The young Prince of Wales has been forced by his mother to resign from the Bullington club of Oxford university, this organization being a little too extravagant to suit the queen. Fashion Frills. Applying reverse English, one might say that the bud in the slit skirt has been nipped—Chicago News. "Grandmother's hoops are coming back." says Modiste. Ought to make an all round improvement in woman's dress—New York American. If all the girls took as much interest in slitting the leaves of a good book as they do in the slit of their skirt they'd have something of more value.—Milwaukee News. Automobile Runs. Suppose every driver of an automobile were forced to sign a total abstinence pledge—Chicago Inter Ocean. In the opinion of the joy riders it is taking the general public a long time to learn to keep out of the way—Chicago Tribune. The automobile is not to blame for all the accidents that happen. It knows how to behave when properly handled. Philadelphia Press. Home Helps. To remove finger marks from varnished furniture sweet oil is very good, but kerosene used on waxed or oilled furniture gives better results. A mixture of kerosene and ammonia cleans porcelain bathtubs and sinks instantly and does not injure them as greatly as acid substances do. Hot water, with plenty of ground mustard added, is the best method of freeing dishes, kettles, silver and other utensils from the disagreeable tastes and smell of fish. Good government is good citizenship in action. Some men never borrow trouble; they buy it outright. No such word as "pacification" in the Balkan dictionary. Wood for artificial limbs is running short. Save your legs! Probably Mexico would like our fatherly attitude better if she did not fear adoption. "New York physicians extol the value of the Piorkowski serum." Oh, tell it to Sweeneyiskovitch. There is reason to believe that a race of arctic explorers will be evolved in the natural course of events. Devotees of golf should frown upon those explosive balls. The language of the game is sufficiently explosive. Holland will enfranchise its women, thus indicating the meaning of the expression, putting the men "in Dutch." Chicago now has three courts for the settlement of domestic difficulties; but, just the same, young people continue to marry. Perhaps we shall yet see the day when playwrights will discover that realism isn't necessarily a synonym for indecency. Four years ago Bleriot flew over the English channel. Now Garros crosses the Mediterranean. Atlantic ocean next. Who is going to wear all the hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of jewelry that has been stolen the past summer? The reason why most of us are reluctant to take advice is that we hate to admit that any one has judgment superior to ours. Candidates need not despair because the tariff is settled. It's the easiest thing in the world to drum up an excuse for running for office. Argentina has adopted old age pensions for workers. Mexico could do it more economically. Its revolutions don't permit much old age. A medical journal tells how to lie when asleep. This is valuable and needed advice, as that's when most men tell the unfortunate truth. Manuel, it seems, is plotting again to recover his throne, but what's the use? The Republican government has not had time yet to pile up a surplus. It is said that Minnesota's new prison will cost $2,000,000, but we will wager that many of its guests will kick about the accommodations nevertheless. The French scientist who makes the declaration that man is descended from the bullfrog probably bases it on the fact that eventually everybody croaks. Modern Greeks are just as heroic as their ancestors, reports Jacob Gould Schurman. Unfortunately no Homer or Xenophon now chronicles their prowess. The uninformed man who tries to gather mushrooms is the natural running mate of the person who ventures to take medicine without examining the label. A flaming bit of news has been received from Indianapolis of interest to women and theatergoers: All the ushers in one of the theaters are red haired girls. Women to wear real suspenders? Then it is up to them to learn another manly art. They'll have to know how, in emergencies, to fasten them with a shingle nail. More than 2,000,000 American farmers have telephones, and many of them have automobiles also. Still, for some reason, the farmers' sons keep on yearning for city life. A German invention called the toxi-meter determines just how drunk a man is. It is presumed that when a man is batting .300 a little bell rings and warns him to desist. A Paris maid, thinking to win good luck, stroked a hunchback on the bump, causing him to attack her with his cane. Certainly her good luck came swiftly, if her experience taught her good sense. Scientists tell us that the temperature in the crater of Vesuvius is 600 degrees. Anybody who is skeptical as to the veracity of science has only to pack his little thermometer and take the next boat. It might not be so terribly hard to have good roads if drivers of all vehicles could educate themselves into avoiding incipient ruts and consider it their duty to co-operate in the great work of improving and preserving the public highways. The Englishman's breakfast of bacon and eggs is condemned by the London Lancet, which recommends coffee and rolls as more suitable for "brain workers" after a sound night's rest. Is no British institution immune from attack? This in effect is a disloyal attempt to continentalize a cherished English meal. Ravenon, cigar store and news State street.

A You Do Not Have To Skimp When You Use Amber Glow Light Amber light costs so little you can flood your rooms with it—for the same money you now pay for half enough light. Half enough light makes people gloomy and cross—bright-as-day rooms make people happy and cheerful. One Amber Glow Light gives the huge volume of one hundred and fifty seven candles for less than one-quarter of a cent per hour. Our Welsbach Amber Glow Lights are, therefore, just the thing for people who must economize. So many people have been convinced of this that we have ordered a shipment of one hundred thousand to meet the lighting season demand this fall. Ask for our Amber Light booklet.
