The lace Swan of the Illie Commission to Pay Bail Osborne THE $400, WHICH HE HAD PLIMF PRETENSE THAT HE WOULD DUNNE TO APPOINT HIM ON BOARD OF BARBER SHOP EXECUTION MAJOR GEORGE W. FORD, BISHOP MEMBERS OF THE STATE COMMITES TO THE SUIT WHICH HAD TO RECOVER HIS MONEY. ON THE COURT PROCEEDINGS IN SA WHOLE SHOOTING MATCH. ON ONE OCCASION AND BEFORE I WITH THE EATING AND FEATHER AND HUNT UP $50.00 TO PAY FINE GRUB. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER COMMITES MAY ALSO ENTER SUIT AGAIN COMMISSIONS TO RECOVER SHOOK OUT OF THEIR POCKETS. It will be recalled that it was stated in these columns January 3, 1914, that P. L. Osborne the leading Colored saloon keeper of Springfield, Ill., who also conducted a well paying barber shop on the side, that Mr. Swann made his head quarters in his saloon so it is said while he was hanging around Springfield assisting his bison friend, "Ed." Dunne, to mismanage the affairs of state, that Mr. Osborne had instituted suit against the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, to recover more than four hundred dollars which he claims he had been flimflammed out of by the Hon. Secretary of the Illinois State Commission under the pretext that all he had to do would be to snap his little finger at "Ed." Dunne as he delights to call him and he would be compelled to appoint him one of the members of the state board of barber shop examiners, he failed to land the job however for him then Mr. Osborne set up a loud and long howl for his money, and everytime that he would meet the Hon. Tommy Wallace Swann, he would do a lot of talk talking and cussing and as he always toted a big gun around in his hip pocket he more than successfully bluffed Mr. Osborne out for some time, at least Mr. Osborne proved himself to be very wise for he started on a dead run to consult a prominent law firm in Springfield and they finally advised him to set his coon trap so as to catch all of the state commissioners in it as the Hon. Mr. Swann, had blew most of his four hundred dollars in, in entertaining them on the fat of the land or in grand style so as to impress them that he is the second Booker T. Washington of the Colored race and the result was that Major George W. Ford, the sainted Bishop Samuel Fallows, who at one time himself, conducted some kind of a drinking insoon in the down town district in this city and all the other Honorable commissioners were all made parties to the suit and the latter part of December, 1913. he instituted suit against the whole shooting match in the Circuit Court of Sangamon county. Not long after Mr. Osborne had started his suit to recover his money, it is claimed that state senator W. Duff Pierery, who is also one of the state commissioners rushed into Governor Duncan's office red and white in the face with rage! that he really did umbosom himself of some cuss words, that he excitedly exclaimed that he would not have one damn thing more to do with the commission nor with the celebration in 1915, unless F. L. Osborne dismissed his suit against the commissioners, that it was a rank outrage to think that a first-class White --- HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY gentleman like he, was sued along with some dishonest, tricky Colored men who did not own one decent suit of clothes, it is claimed that even Goverfrom grace and that he almost felt like uttering a few cuss words himself, in order to clear up the more than unpleasant situation which he and the state commissioners had been placed in by his most distinguished friend the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann. It required sometime to pass before it dawned on the cunning mind of the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann that there was only one way to make Mr. Osborne back up and close his mouth and that was to come across with his four hundred dollars which he did and after recovering his money and the court cost, Mr. Osborne dismissed his court proceedings against Col. Swann and the state commissioners, and Osborne must be given the credit for knowing just how to get ahead of filmflammers and dead beats to perfection. On one occasion it is said that Col. Swann wanted to prove to his pal Governor Dunne, that he had money to burn that he was the wealthiest gentleman of Color in this state and in order to make good in that respect he decided to give a grand banquet at Masonic hall in Springfield, the affair was to be pulled off in honor of the state commission and other prominent White and Colored citizens, both ladies and gentlemen but it is claimed that just as his guests and the state commissioners were on the eve of entering the doors leading into it that the doors were slammed in faces and then locked tight and that those who had been invited to the eating or feasting were forced to stand around in the street in front of the hall and wait until the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann could rush around town and hunt up fifty dollars to pay the hall rent and for the fine grub and wine. The following are said to be among the many other Colored men residing in Springfield whom the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, in the most brazen faced manner relieved them of their money in order to impress Governor Dunne with the fact that he was a little dishonest rich Colored man. Major George W. Ford, $150 who was selected as one of the state commissioners by Governor Swann, J. M. Mosley, $150, one crazy man $90, and it is estimated that at the present time that he still owes the Colored citizens of Springfield and throughout the State of Illinois more than one thousand dollars aside from turning over the four hundred dollars to F. L. Osborne, whom he had endeavored to skin alive to a dead stand still. CHICAGO, JUNE 13, 1914 The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a person, but no discernible details can be made. 72 HON. SAMUEL A. ETTELSON. Prominent leader of the Republican of Schuyler, Ettelson and Weinfield offices on the 12th floor of the New campaign for re-election to the State Prominent leader of the Republican Party, middle member of the big law firm of Schuyler, Ettelson and Weinfeld who occupy an extensive suite of law offices on the 12th floor of the New York Life Building, has started on his campaign for re-election to the State Senate, from the 3rd Senatorial District. Notwithstanding the above facts Governor Edward F. Dunne, is so dull minded that he labors under the halucination that his warm chum, the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann is the highest embodiment of all that is good, true, beautiful and ennobling in the Afro-American race. It seems that the present chief executive of Illinois is not unlike the great majority of short sighted narrow contracted White men who always greatly delight to elevate their Colored waiters, butlers, bootblacks or coaches, the vicious and the most ignorant Negro over and above the intelligent, the honest, the manly, the property holding, the tax, paying and the straight forward Colored man. NEGRO POLK SONG FESTIVAL HELD AT DALLAS, TEXAS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF MRS. E. AZALIA HACKLEY. It is with deep regret that we announce the death of John G. Jones who passed into the beyond, Sunday, June 7th. In the death of Mr. Jones the community loses one of its useful citizens and the race one of its most fearless defenders. John G. Jones possessed, in a marked degree, certain prerequisites to leadership, that are strikingly wanting in many who aspire to leadership in these days. He was fearless, unselfish and sincere. He loved his race. He loved right and was willing at all times to dare anything, and to risk all in defense of either. He was not a "poser" but chose rather to bequeath to posterity the results and achievements of a life Was a Flattering Success Last week, a Negro Folks Song Festival was held at Dallas, Texas, in the Fair Park Coliseum, that city, under the auspices of the Dallas Colored High School. Mrs. E. Azalia Hackley who is well and favorably known throughout the entire United States and part of Europe, for her fine singing and great musical ability, ably directed the affairs, which was in every way a flattering success. It was attended by over three thousand people, half of the audience was composed of White ladies and gentlemen, representing all that is true and noble among the best class of Whites, in the southern states. Most of the songs and choruses, were the productions of Colored composers and they were enthusiastically applauded by both the Colored and White attendants. The Dallas Morning News, The Dallas Evening Journal and The Dallas Daily Times-Herald, all spoke in the highest praise of the Negro Folks Song Festival, and they heartily congratulated Mrs. Hackley for so successfully conducting it. It was indeed the great social event among the better class of both races. ) Hon. W. H. Atwell, ex-United States District Attorney of Texas, was among the many prominent White citizens present and at the conclusion of the program, he delivered a short eloquent address, in which he congratulated his Colored fellow citizens, on the fine appearance made by them on that occasion. 72 Party, middle member of the big law firm who occupy an extensive suite of law New York Life Building, has started on his Senate, from the 3rd Senatorial District. ion and that he felt doubly sure that they were making remarkable progress along musical lines and in other directions. DEATH OF JOHN G. JONES. It is with deep regret that we announce the death of John G. Jones who passed into the beyond, Sunday, June 7th. In the death of Mr. Jones the community loses one of its useful citizens and the race one of its most fearless defenders. John G. Jones possessed, in a marked degree, certain prerequisites to leadership that are strikingly wanting in many who aspire to leadership in these days. He was fearless, unselfish and sincere. He loved his race. He loved right and was willing at all times to dare anything, and to risk all in defense of either. He was not a "poser" but chose rather to bequeath to posterity the results and achievements of a life spent in serving his people. As a race man he was unique. His alertness and the intensity of his convictions on all matters affecting the rights and interest of his race earned for him the name "Indignation Jones." And truly he was possessed of a righteous indignation that never failed to materialize whenever the rights of the race were assailed or its liberty threatened. In the halls of legislation, on the platform and at the bar of justice he was ever a bold champion for right and fair-play. Each one, no doubt, has his own estimate of John G. Jones but however they may differ, it is safe to say, "we shall all miss him."—"C" THE WEST MICHIGAN RESORT WILL NOT OPEN THIS SEASON. It is claimed that owing to a misunderstanding between the stockholders, in relation to paying back some money which was obtained several years ago, in the way of a loan from Attorney Edward H. Morris, that the West Michigan Resort, which is located near Benton Harbor, Michigan, will not be thrown open to the public this season. William R. Cowan, George H. Walker, Frank L. Hamilton, George W. Holt, B. F. Moseley, Col. Franklin A. Denison and Edward H. Morris, including Dr. George C. Hall, who is at present serving as president of the West Michigan Resort, are among its most prominent stockholders in Chicago. It is said that Dr. Hall and Mr. Morris, may get together and conduct it in first-class shape and get every thing straightened out in time to open Social Items and Gossip Concerning the Movements of Some of the Afro-Americans in Chicago Weddings and plans for weddings continue to be the most interesting topics in society. The newest creation of entertainment for the bride-to be is the "eake party", which is becoming a popular prenuptial function for the bride to give for her bridal attendants and most intimate friends. At these affairs all the guests take a hand in doing up the small squares of wedding cake and placing them in the dainty boxes that are afterwards distributed among the wedding guests. Charmingly gowned was Miss Elenora T. Curtiss, one of the North Side's favorites at the Jolly Twenty Dancing Party, Tuesday evening past, she wore a black satin gown trimmed in gold cloth made from the latest Parisian model; her height together with her wonderful personality classed her in the lime light for the entire evening. Favorite Singer Home Again Mr. Rosmond-V. Fortson, who for the past two years has been proprietor of the only Colored cafe in Centralia, Ill., is home again for an indefinite stay. His many friends greet with pleasure his appearance as Mr. Fortson has a rich baritone voice and wins the hearts of his hearers. City Federation of Women's Clubs The city federation of women's clubs met Monday at Glencoe, Ill., over four hundred women delegates crowded the A. M. E. church long before ten o'clock A. M. The morning session was given to the hearing of the various club reports then Attorney J. Gray Lucas addressed the federation in behalf of Isaac Bond, who is held as the Copper-Colored man in the Ida M. Legginson case; after listening carefully to what had been brought to light the federation moved that a free will offering be raised to assist in bringing witnesses from Gary, Ind. for the coming trial. The afternoon session witnessed the installation of officers by Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis, then delegates to the National and State Federations were elected. Mrs. Clara Johnson, President of the City Federation was elected as first delegate to the National Federation which convenes at Wilberforce, Ohio in August. The September session of the City Federation will meet in Chicago and be entertained by the Phyllis Wheatly Club, The Young Matron's Club and Phyllis Wheatly Advisory Board. Co-Eda Miss Ferris Lewis, who has been attending Fisk U. will return home Thursday morning bringing two young ladies (class-mates) whose homes are in California to spend their vacations. As Miss Lewis is quite popular in the social set we predict for the visitors nothing but enjoyment. A Plea. Why there are so few of our young ladies taking part in the suffrage and clubs of Chicago is a puzzle. If the younger girls of the many social clubs would read the history of the Colored Federation of Women's Clubs and compare with the history of the White Federation of Women's Clubs they would be more than proud in noting it before the end of the vacation season.

He left surviving him, his sister. s and Gossiping the Move- Some of the Americans in the wonderful advancement the Colored women have made in such a short time.

The vacation season is at hand and thousands of people in Chicago are now making plans as to when and now they will spend their summer outings. For several years the Department of Health has offered advice and suggestions, with a few warnings thrown in for good measure, concerning summer vacation dangers. We have tried to make it clear that just because a summer resort is a pretty place, picturesque and all that it does not follow that it is a safe place. Some such places get their supply of drinking water from shallow wells on the shores of lakes, the waters of which are polluted with sewage and other dangerous fifth. Some of these are not protected against fish or mosquitoes, nor are the sanitary conditions anywhere near what they ought to be. Fortunately however, such places are not so numerous as they were a few years ago; people now have have more health knowledge than they had then. They know about the dangers of filthy waters or improperly constructed outdoor toilets They know, too, about the house fly and that these dangerous little pests carry disease and death wherever they go. Hence fly swatters and fly screens. So we take it that by this time most Chicago people when considering where they shall go for the summer, will give as much attention to the sanitary attractions a place has to offer as they do to its boating and fishing advantages or to the charm of its scenic beauties. Then along with the vacation season, we include the picnic and outing dangers. Within a few hours' ride of Chicago are many picnic grounds where thousands of Chicago people go every day during the summer months. Some of these places are pretty well cared for and kept in fairly good sanitary condition. Some of them are both dirty and dangerous and should be avoided. So in choosing the place for your summer vacation or your picnic party, look before you leap. Be sure that they are clean and sanitary that the water supply is safe, and that you will run no more risk of contracting some disease due to fifth than you would right here at home, where the water is safe and the fly swatter is abroad in the land. * * * If you have reason to suspect that the water where you may be, is dangerous or polluted, here is a way whereby it may be made safe to use: Dissolve a teaspoonful of chloride of lime in a cupful of water, making sure that all lumps are thoroughly broken up. Then add three more cups of water, stir well and let stand a few seconds so that any solid particles may settle to bottom. Keep this purifying mixture in a tightly stopped Mason jar; it will be good for four or five days. Add one teaspoonful of this milky-looking solution to each two gallons of water and stir thoroughly. Now let the two gallons of water stand ten minutes, after which it will be ready for drinking purposes. The treated water will be without taste or odor. Store it in clean stoppered bottles in a cool place. As chloride of lime can be obtained at any drug store, there should be no need for any one using water that is suspected of being contaminated or dangerous. PROF. CARL B. DITON UNITED IN MARRIAGE TO A GEORGIA WIDOW. The past Monday Prof. Carl R.

Washington The Actor, the Producer, the greatest Negro stage director in the world. The Man who changes a bad condition, into a nowing success, covered himself with glory Thursday, night when he presented the splendid and well written drama, Captain Rufus, written by Alireen Anderson, the well known play writer. One of Chicago's best. Jerry with the consent of the most tar seeing house manager in the snow business to-day. Fred Linnick has proven beyond a doubt that Negro stock companies, when properly staged does win the respect of its patrons regardless of the place. Applause after applause came from the audience, showing their appreciation of the rarest treat of the season, given them by the management of this, the New Pekin Theatre at 27th and State Sts. Which has been made by Thousands of dollars in the remodeling of it into one of the most beautiful and comfortable play houses in the city, new electric plant, new scenery fully equipped with the unest caucalum light machinery, and Jerry Mills the man who knows how to give the people the worth of their money, the best in the business. You can not afford to miss this wonderful three act drama, with no weak spots in it, its screamer, every body is talking about it, a packed house, and a most pleasant enjoyment proves that the Negro will patronize his own, when the right man is the producer, people from Hyde Park, Englewood, Westside, Northside, Southside, and Evanston, are making up parties and clubs, to see this beautiful aggregation of Colored actors. Here the writer heard, that splendid chorus, "Awake" led by the Pekin Orchestra with Beacher Todd as its conductor. Andrew Tribble a victim of circumstances, playing the character of Rufus Jones is a show in himself. Mr. Sidney Kirkpatrick, "Captain Rufus of the 57th Inf. is beyond a doubt an actor of no ordinary merit. Lizzie Wallace "Chetche Castro, pride of the Philippines, took the house by storm, her enchores were so great that she had to quit, and the audience realizing how hard it was upon her, covered her with flowers. Mr. George Hall, a gentleman of leisure, sang the song "The rose in the Bud" in a manner, that would make the famous Carousso look well to his laurels, he was enchored time and again. In the finale when Captain Rufus and the chorus (Sidney Kirkpatrick) sang the song "The sword and the Flag" and guards raised the American flag. I saw private Hightower a member of the Eighth Ill. National Guards who was present stand with head uncovered in the midst of that vast audience so impressive was this scene. Much praise is to be given the Sextette, Mrs. Lockette, Brown and Johnson; Messrs. DeAken, Brown and Fazler, for the superb manner of handling "Why Must we say good Bye." The witch scene in the second act was a wonderful display of music of the muses. Major Drummond the traitor as played by Jerry Mills, was played as none but Jerry can play it. We knew he could do it, and he did He made a hit. He is a success. MRS. ELNORA MANSON GRADUATED FROM THE COSMOPOLITON SCHOOL OF MUSIC AND DRAMATIC ART.

Monday evening the Board of Directors of the Louise Training School for Colored boys, met at 6130 Ada street. After the transaction of business in connection with the school the directors and others who had tickets for sale for the entertainment, which was held at Hope Presbyterian Church, Friday evening May 29, were given further time to make their final report as to the number of tickets they sold. So far more than $100 over and above expenses have been realized from the entertainment and it is expected that it will run up to $125, or possibly more when the final reports are made. The writer turned in $32, from the sale of 125 tickets, which was considerable more than what was turned in by the majority of the other directors. REV. L. D.

Moseley has fallen through, much to regret of the many Chicagoans who delight in spending their vacations in Michigan. The prospect of the boating, fishing and swimming facilities at a thirty room resort was very alluring and it is regretted by all that Mr. Moseley changed his mind in regard to the purchase.

RAW MATERIAL MADE USEFUL How the "Schools In the Background" Are Contributing Toward the Race's Progress—Institutions Made Useful and Attractive Under Most Discouraging Conditions. Dr. James Hardy Dillard, president of the Jeanes board, often refers to the one room Negro rural schools in the southern states as "schools in the background." His description is as accurate as it is vivid. From the little rural schools come some of the best "raw material" to be trained at Hampton, Tuskegee and other industrial schools for useful and safe race leadership. To the rural districts of the south the graduates of Hampton and Tuskegee return as progressive teachers, mechanics and farmers for lives of willing sacrifice. Recently a party of forty-eight thoughtful northern "pilgrims" to Hampton visited as part of the anniversary program some of the rural Negro schools lying near the edge of Hampton's home county and saw—evidently with thrills of surprise and delight—what colored women, trained and inspired by Hampton, have been doing to make the one room, overcrowded Negro schools useful and attractive, even under most discouraging conditions—the inertia and indifference of the parents, the lack of public school money and the irregular attendance of pupils, which is due to bad roads. That there are some modern heroines, not all of whom are white, dawns upon those who visit these out of the way rural schools. The gradual improvement of many "schools in the background" in Virginia; for example, is the result of a happy and well planned experiment in co-operative educational association. The Jeanes board, the Virginia state department of education, Hampton institute and the local school boards have pulled together and have demonstrated clearly that white people and black people, northerners and southerners, can work together on a common platform at social service for the education of country boys and girls who need for their life work good rural schools and above all, capable and faithful teachers. Jackson Davis, a well trained young southern white man of charming personality, has served most efficiently for four years as the state supervisor of negro schools in Virginia. He reports that last year the twenty-five colored industrial supervising teachers, working in twenty-seven Virginia counties, helped the rural colored teachers of the state in introducing cooking, sewing home making and manual training to their schools and put new life into many Negro communities. The result was that the Negro themselves raised in twenty five counties nearly $25,000 in cash for the improvement of their school buildings, lengthening of the school term and the improvement of physical equipment. Such evidences as well made dresses, aprons and underwear, attractive jars of canned vegetables and fruits, useful baskets of raffia and white oak, fresh garden vegetables and neat papers in arithmetic, spelling and composition indicate that the Negro race, with the help of young Negro men and women who are properly trained for teaching and are disciplined for service, is making progress and that the "schools in the background" are making their contributions to the race's progress in spite of neglect, isolation and the lack of general public interest. EVIL OF RACE PREJUDICE. Wounded Man Refused Admission to Pottsville (Pa.) Hospital Dies. The evil effects of race prejudice were brought prominently to public view in Pottsville, Pa., on May 20, when an effort was made to have George Baxter, who had been severely wounded in a mine explosion, admitted to the Pottsville hospital. Martin Dolan, a contract miner for whom George Baxter worked, obtained a mandamus which would have admitted the wounded man to the hospital, but while the authorities of the institution were wrangling in court over Baxter's admission he died. One of Baxter's eyes had been blown out while at work and the other seriously injured, which required a speedy operation. Mr. Dolan offered to pay all the extra expense of a private ward, but the hospital officials refused to permit Baxter's entrance until the board of managers consented, although a section in the charter of the hospital provides that no distinction shall be made in the treatment of patients on account of color or nationality.

OFFICIAL PLANS FOR THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS Meeting of National Religious Body Will Be Largely Attended. Nashville, Tenn.-At a special meeting of the Sunday school congress official board and the National Baptist Publishing board recently held it was decided that the Nashville delegation to the ninth annual meeting of the Sunday school congress to be held in Beaumont, Tex.. would leave Nashville on Monday night, June 8, or early Tuesday morning, June 9. It was decided to go by way of the New Orleans gateway. The secretary of the Sunday school congress stated that an effort would be made to have a special train this year as heretofore and that in view of the fact that selections of delegations were coming in so fast the prospects were that a special train would be necessary. He also stated that he did not know how many of the northern and eastern delegates would come through Nashville, but that he had received several letters from points north and east asking if it were possible to go by way of Nashville.

Miss.-The Utica institute, located four miles south of here, is recognized as one of the leading institutions in the south for the education and advancement of Afro-American boys and girls. Under the wise management of the president, Professor William H. Holtzclaw, the school is meeting the needs of its large student body in a most satisfactory way. Seeing the great need of industrial education in the south, Mr. Holtzclaw struggled strenuously under difficulties to plant a school to give the young people, especially of Mississippi, a chance to acquire such an education as would fit them for making their way through life. During its eleven years of existence the school has done a wonderful and commendable work. Graduates of the school since its establishment are filling nearly every position in the walk of life with honor to themselves and credit to their alma mater. The enrollment this year was over 500, coming from Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Cuba and Mississippi. The high class work done by the institution places it in the front rank. Perhaps nowhere in this country can be found an institution that is more alive to the needs and best interests of its students. The character of its work was clearly shown in the fact that at the state fair held in Jackson, Miss., in October, 1913, the school won first prizes for nearly every department exhibit, notwithstanding every school in the state was represented, and the Utica Normal and Industrial institute was the younger of them all. The faculty of the school consists of thirty-two well trained young men and women, some of whom are graduates of some of the leading institutions of learning in this country. Professor Holtzclaw was born of humble parentage on a farm in Randolph county, Ala. Starting with such education as was offered him in his home county he made his way to Tuskegee institute, where he worked during the day and went to school at night for four years, when he graduated from that institution with honors. The school held its commencement exercises recently. Ten young people received diplomas and certificates. This is the largest number of graduates ever sent out from the school at one time. Annual Meeting of Good Samaritane.

Scott, deputy for the fifth district Miss Estell Doucey and Mrs. Grace Hall, head workers in the juvenile department, will render their annual reports at the evening session on Wednesday, June 3. Good Work For Jenkina Orphanage. The closing exercises of the Jenkina Orphanage institute in Charlesston, S.C. will be held on Monday evening, June 1. In the orphanage building on Franklin street. The institution has had a very successful year in all of its work, notwithstanding the increase in the number of pupils and the heavy financial responsibility under which the managers have had to labor in order to maintain its dignity and the good will of the public. 1 THE BROAD AX CAN BE FOUND ON SALE AT THE FOLLOWING NEWS STANDS: From on and after this date the Broad Ax, can be found on sale at the following news stands: A.
