On Sunday afternoon, May 11, which was a very beautiful Sabbath day and while all nature seemed to be at rest and while the gods seemed to be engaged, in showering down their most bountiful blessings upon all the sons and daughters of humanity, scattered throughout the universe, His Eminence George Cardinal Mundelein, Archbishop of Chicago and its first Cardinal, returned back to his home in this city where he is dearly beloved and held in the highest esteem by all classes of his fellow citizens. Cardinal Mundelein returned home direct from the Holy City of Rome, which stands on the seven everlasting hills, where His Eminence spent two months and before his departure for America, high honors were conferred upon him by Pope Plus XI. The Cardinal traveled home from New York City, where he landed safe and sound after a somewhat stormy sea voyage, the Baltimore and Ohio Railway officials provided a special train for him and for the two hundred priests which were headed by Montignor Rev, Father Edward A.

As it stopped, Cardinal Mundelein, surrounded by priests and friends, stood on the observation platform. Immediately Mayor Dever and other members of the welcoming committee awaiting the train, advanced. The mayor reached up his right hand and Cardinal Mundelein bent down over the rail. Mayor Dever knelt, took the cardinal's hand and kissed the famous ring that came to him from the Pope with his elevation to prince of the church. Then they both smiled and shook hands warmly. Only a few moments after the arrival of the special train bearing the Cardinal and the others had alighted from it the great parade was whipped into shape with the Cardinal and Mr. D. F. Kelly seated in an automobile and it did not make much headway, until after the two hundred and fifty persons who came on from New York City with him had been seated in their --- "Our Duty to Loyalty Keynote "One does not need to travel find how keen is the desire to hatred of the war, to draw us, their bickerings and their agitations.

As the Cardinal's car slowly advanced an automobile in which sat Detective Sergts. Hugh McCarthy, Patrick Ryan and Thomas Flannagan, took the lead a few feet ahead of it.

"This is my part of this great purpose." CARDINAL MUNDELEIN, In His Address at the Auditorium Tuesday evening. on State street to the Holy Name Cathedral where the impressive services were held. The picture in another column of this newspaper shows that thousands and thousands of people were standing around the Holy Name Cathedral being utterly unable to enter it to witness the long to be remembered services. The Cardinal being full of the milk of human kindness for his fellow creatures and fully realizing that hundreds of thousands of them would not be able to get near his church, wore his regalia in full view of the vast concourse of people who had thickly lined the streets to smile upon the first Cardinal of Chicago. Wears Full Regalia Those who eyed him closely beheld what seldom, if ever, has been seen outside the cloistered walls of the Vatican. Cardinal Mundelein, deviating from the custom and tradition of centuries, as a slight reward for those who came to honor him, wore the full consistorial regalia of a cardinal—a great cloak of cardinal red, with a red cape falling below his elbows trimmed with gold lace; and the cardinal's wide-brimmed hat of red and gold. He wore a watered silk red cassock, reserved exclusively for the cardinal of the church, which formed a brilliant background for the golden pectoral cross. "I wear these for the first and probably the last time in Chicago," said his eminence. "It is to please the people—to show them what they will remember as a great honor won by their city and their efforts. "My personage is nothing; they honor the high office I hold, and I am pleased to allow them to see these gorgeous robes never worn outside of Rome." It was very pleasing to note the part that the colored Catholics played in assisting to welcome Cardinal Mundelein home, the members of Robert Elliott Court of Catholic Order of Foresters, the members of St. Monica's Roman Catholic Church and the pupils of the Colored Catholic school on 37th street, all made a splendid showing in the parade and received the blessings of Cardinal Mundelein as they passed before his view. Cardinal Mundelein brought with him direct from Rome. Many new honors and blessing for the citizens of Chicago from Pope Pius XI and the following personages were remembered by the head of the great Roman Catholic Church. TO BE MONSIGNORS The Rev. Father Contennial Joseph Quille, head of the Chicago Working Boys Home. The Rev. Father Edward Fox, pas- tor of St. Charles Borromeo Church, Roosevelt road and Cypress street. SECRET CHAMBERLAIN TO THE POPE The Rev. Denis E. Dunne, D.D. former chancellor of the archdiocese and now pastor of Holy Cross Church (to bear the title of the Most Rev. Monsignor). Previously announced apostolic honors, confirmed by the cardinal, are as follows: The Rev. John Webster Melody. The Rev. Thomas A. Kearns. The Rev. John Dettmer. The Rev. John Ryan. The Rev. Dan Luttrell. The Rev. M. Kruszas. The Rev. Francis G. Ostrowski. Francis A. Rempe, protonotary apostolic, or first notary, a college of the church legal department. The Very Rev. Francis Gordon. The Rev. William D, O'Brien. LAYMEN TO BE KNIGHTS OF ST. GREGORY Hon. E. F. Carry, President of the Pullman Palace Car Company. Hon. F. J. Lewis, prominent manufacturer and successful business man. Hon. Robert M. Sweitzer. Mr. Jesse Binga, President of the Binga State Bank, being a member of the general reception committee to receive Cardinal Mundelein. He journeyed to New York City in order to greet him and he was well pleased with the wonderful reception which was instore for him when he arrived in his home town, the great City of Chicago. No Potentate, Emperor, King, Prince, nor President of the United States, have ever been received with more democratic honors and simplicity by the citizens of Chicago than George Cardinal Mundelein, and as long as he continues to breathe the breath of life he will pleasantly remember his home coming to the queen city of the middle west. HON. JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS REMOVES HIS LAW OFFICES On May 1, Hon. James Hamilton Lewis, ex-United States Senator from Illinois, removed his law offices from the Otis Building, Madison and La Salle streets, into an extensive suite of offices on the 18th floor of the new Burnham Building, 160 N. La Salle street. In the near future, Senator Lewis will contribute an historical article to this newspaper, which will be of vast interest to both the white and the colored people throughout the United States.

Secretary of Labor has accepted an invitation to address the Fifteenth Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to be held in Philadelphia, June 25-July 1. Mr. Davis will speak at the Thursday evening session, June 26. Emphasis will be laid on labor problems, among the subjects slated for extended discussion being "The Negro Comes North" and "The Future of the Negro in Northern Industry." Education for Negroes will be discussed in connection with the proposed Sterling-Reed Education Bill now before Congress. Nannie H. Burroughs, Head of the National Training School for Girls of Washington, and President of the National Association of Wage Earners, is another speaker who has accepted the invitation to address the N.A.A.A. C.P. Conference. Rev. John Hayes Holmes, Pastor of the Community Church of New York, and one of the foremost speakers in the country, will address the Sunday Mass Meeting. Music will be rendered by a chorus specially trained by Carl Diton, the well known pianist and composer. Two campaigns, the fight for release of the 24th Infantrymen still imprisoned for their alleged share in the Houston Riot of 1917, and the campaign against lynching will receive new impetus at the Conference. Further plans for the struggle to enact the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in Congress will be thoroughly discussed. The N.A.A.C.P. has issued another urgent appeal to all the delegates and visitors to the Philadelphia Conference to obtain certificates when purchasing railroad tickets to the Conference in order that the required number, 250, may bring about a reduction in return fare. Delegates and visitors from cities near Philadelphia, are urged to appoint some one person to purchase tickets for them all in a group, and to present the certificates together, for the benefit of those coming from a distance, whose return fare will be reduced by one-half, if the required 250 certificates are obtained. Delegates and members attending the conference ar urged to arrive at Philadelphia if possible, during the day of June 25. Headquarters for registration will be at the First Afriean Baptist Church, 16th and Christian streets. Those who arrive first will be given the choicest accommodations.

POPE PIUS KNIGHTS LIBERIAN VICE-PRESIDENT Monrovia, Liberia—Before a crowd of Liberian notables, Monsignor Jogee, Perfect Apostolic of the Catholic Mission, representing His Holiness, Pope Pius XI, conferred on H, Too Wesley, vice-president of the republic, the order of St. Gregory for his excellent work of establishing Catholic missionaries in the country. The officers and members of Hope Presbyterian Church, under the leadership of its honest and straightforward pastor, Rev. W. Edward Williams, D. D., engineered the finest musical event which has been witnessed in Chicago in many a day. The pleasant affair was held on Monday evening at Pilgrim Baptist Temple, 33rd street and Indiana avenue. It was participated in by the following high class artists: Carl Diton, Pianist-Composer; Miss Alpha A. Bratton, Soprano; Lemmyon Amoureux, Tenor; Miss Estella Bonds, Accompanist. The program, which follows, could not be surpassed. Program: Chaconne in D minor, Bach-Busoni, Mr. Diton; "Wie nahte mir der Schlummer" (Der Freischutz), von Weber, Miss Bratton; Scherzo in B minor, Chopin; Nocturne in B major, Op. 62, No. 1, Polonaise in A flat major, Mr. Diton; "Your Tiny Hand Is Frozen" (La Bohème), Puccini, Life and Death, Coleridg-Taylor, Invocation, J.

Handel, Yesterday and Today, Spross, Miss Bratton; Overture of "Tannhaeuser" Wagner-Liszt, Mr. Diton. As usual, the church was only a little over half filled, whereas not a vacant seat should have been in evidence in the church, for it was a rare musical treat, highly worthy of being patronized, which was for a worthy cause. ATTORNEY WILLIAM H. CLARK AND FAMILY REMOVE THEIR RESIDENCE The first of the month, Attorney William H. Clark and his good wife, Mrs. Clark, and their four children, removed their home from 3243 Ellis avenue to 2713½ Indiana avenue, where they will be pleased to meet their many friends.

He spent twenty-five years of his life in the wholesale district of Chicago, and was a salesman for ten years before he became county clerk. As county clerk he has a wide variety of duties. He is comproller or financial officer of the county, the clerk or secretary of the county board, and the election commissioner for the country towns.

MOTHER'S DAY By Charles Stewart, Jr. Sunday, May 11, the entire nation payed a tribute of reverential respect to the one to whom civilization owes its present advancement—a mother. "All that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother," said Abraham Lincoln, after he became president of the United States. "My mother was the making of me," said Thomas Edison recently. "She was so true, so sure of me; and I felt that I had some one to live for; some one I must not disappoint." "To the man who has a good mother all women are sacred for her sake," said Jean Paul Richter. Testimonies of great men in all walks of life in acknowledgment of their deep gratitude and appreciation of their mothers would make a record stretching from the dawn of history up to the present date. Few are the men; indeed, who do not owe their greatness to the inspirations and love of their mother. Many a man is enjoying a fame which is due to his sacrificing mother. Throngs of people hurrah for the president, governor, congressman, mayor, and other high officials but the secret of their achievement of success is often tucked away in the soul of that little unknown mother. Whatever else you are obliged to do, never take a chance of neglecting mother. No man worthy of the name ever neglects or forgets his mother. The time may come when you will sit on her bed of illness for the last time, or when you stand by her coffin you will wish that you had been_of a little more pleasure and comfort to her; wish that you had exchanged a little more of your money in visits and presents to her, even at a cost of making a little less money. There is no one else who can fill the place of a mother and no remorse that can be as great as that of the remembrance of ill-treating, abusing, or being unkind to one's mother. These things will stand out ever fresh in your memory when your mother is gone from your sight forever. It is then that you will take time to contrast your treatment with her long-suffering, tenderness and love, her many years of sacrifice for you. One of the saddest sights ever witnessed was that of a poor, old, struggle-worn, broken down mother whose life had been poured into her child making a long trip to the Federal Penitentiary to visit her boy, who had been abandoned by every friend he ever knew except herself. Poor Mother! It did not matter to her that he was a criminal, that he had disgraced himself, his family and his friends, that he had been unkind and mean to her, she would not forsake him—her heart went out to him just the same. A horrid figure that had committed a crime was not seen by her but only as she had always seen him, her darling boy, the child that God gave her to raise and protect pure and innocent as when a two-month-old baby. Infinite love is this, there is no human love as great, which follows one from the cradle to the grave never once forsaking it, no matter how unfortunate or degraded the loved one may become. This, the second Sunday in May, which has been inaugurated and set aside as Mother's Day, should receive the heartiest support of all. Every one united in making it a real mother's day. Some sent flowers, others candy, and still others showed their remembrance with cards and telegrams. Those who were fortunate enough to have their mother with them honored her by escorting her to church. What an impressive and beautiful tribute it would be to go through life making every day mother's day—honoring the most sacred love known—the love of a mother.

Ransom, Attorney at Law, Indianapolis, Indiana, will deliver the Annual Address. COL. CHARLES E. STUMP, THE OLD TIME REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS FOR THE PAST TEN OR TWELVE DAYS, BEEN IN EVIDENCE AT THE GENERAL A. M. E. CONFERENCE AT LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY. Louisville, Ky.-The world is not still yet, and I am of the opinion that it will never be still, and as it is moving I find that my people are keeping pace and moving with it, hence I am taking off my hat to the African Methodist Episcopal Church, a great government, and one of which we are all proud. Since watching the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, saying nothing about the A. M. E. Zion, now in session in Indianapolis, Ind., and the C. M. E. which will meet two years from now, I must say that we have much that should cause us to rejoice, and I admire the churches because there is something in it for a young man to aspire. Just you see the young men of the other race looking forward to being something in state, so you see the young men in these churches looking forward to the day when they can be something in their respective churches. I am seeing here hundreds of young men, who are aspiring to the higher things, and then there is an incentive for the young boys of this race of ours, if they belong to the African Methodist Episcopal church to continue in school, hoping that some day, and not many moons away they can be bishop, or fill one of the general offices in their church, which gives them just a little standing away from the rank. They are not all ministers, for the laity is recognized in the distribution of these coveted plums. I recall when Prof. John R. Hawkins, and Prof. H. T. Kealing broke the ice. Prof. Hawkins was elected commissioner of education, but it was called secretary of education then, and Prof. Kealing was elected A. M. E. Church Review editor. Prof. Kealing held the place until he was called home to rest. No, he resigned, and became college president. He left the rank, and was ordained elder by Bishop Grant, with a view of becoming bishop, but died without reaching the high place. Prof. Hawkins remained in his position until the general conference in 1912, elevated Bishop Hurst to the episcopacy, from financial secretary. It was said that the financial secretary-ship was used as a stepping stone to the bishopric, and for some reason they seemed to think that the man who held it had advantage over his less fortunate brethren, hence they looked around in the pew, and laid hands on Prof. John R. Hawikns, and he was made secretary, and he has remained an humble layman, and will not leave in order to run for bishop. He has filled the position so well, and looked after the interest of the church so closely, until he can fill the place forever. He is a good and faithful servant, and you would be surprised when I tell you that during his administration as secretary, he has handled over three million dollars, and it doth not yet appear all he will handle, for you will read that he was re-elected without opposition, although Rev. Dr. Sims from Texas, is looking that way and hopes to land. The men have made up their minds that since they have a good efficient secretary, and he is doing his work and doing it so well and is strictly a business man with the religion of Jesus Christ in his heart, they are going to keep him right there. So mote it be. The next layman to get into the fold was Ira T. Bryant, the practical printer, and one of the best trained men in the connection along that line. They reached out and got him to succeed Bishop W. D. Chappelle, as secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union. This part of church work was organized by Bishop C. S. Smith, and have had only three secretaries, Smith, Chappelle and Bryant. Under this layman wonderful improvements have been made. It is no longer a begging institution, but has declared dividends, and then it is doing something for the ministers who become old. This young man is the son of a preacher, who passed into his reward years ago, but he was a man who was strictly true to his church and to his people. He contended for what he conceived to be right, and for the right he was willing to do his best and die if need be. You would not be surprised to know that-this Ira T. Bryant has the spirit of his father. He is the man for the place. His manner of fighting has not met the approval of many, and I am sure that I would turn over and sting him myself, if he had gone into me like he has some of the men and high ups at that. But back of him are many of the ministers who see to it that he gets figures and data, and say to him "Go on, Bryant, give them hash-e-square-lull." Mr. Bryant is slated for the slaughter house, but there are hundreds of men who declare that he shall be re-elected. I think from what I hear around here that he will be. The delegates, at least some of them declare that it is a personal fight now between Bishop A. J. Carey, and Ira T. Bryant, and they both have passed the 21 milestone in life, and they must stand or fall. The general conference should not fight the battle of one or the other. If this is carried out, then the fur will fly or it will not fly, but the lamb and lion may lay down together and a little child shall lead them. I will tell you all about it in my next letter. The delegates to general conference remind me of our legislators, they are just bound to introduce some bill or some measure or some resolution, and this is what is being done right along. Here comes Rev. M. S. Dixon, from Mississippi, and he introduces a bill in the general conference, hoping it to become a law, barring from holding office in the churches, such as deaconesses, stewardesses, class leaders, women who have their hair bobbed or wore sleeveless dresses, and some one wanted to add to it short dresses. It was asserted that some women wore their dresses so short at the bottom and so short at the top, that if they made them much shorter they would be wearing dressless dresses, and then came a question mark? I do not understand these statements, and I shall drop them myself. For one time the sectional question has been raised in the general conference, but what the result will be I am not prepared to say. I think it will pass over in this race of ours, we are all one. Whether North, South, East or West if you belong to our race you are just there, and there is no getting away. But here and there you may find some of us who have been tampered with to such an extent that we are passing. But there are others of that fast color that God has guaranteed will neither run nor rub, and it is out of the question for them to think of passing. They must remain with us now henceforth and forever. I am in that class myself. Don't be afraid of me getting away from the race. The general conference thus far has been strictly a business concern, and inspirational meeting, one for us all. The first week, following the episcopal address, and the announcement of committees followed the report of the general officers and all of them have reported, all the bishops have been before the episcopal and this was done in the first week. At the opening this week, among the first things was the report of the episcopal committee, recommending that three bishops be elected, and honey, that makes fighting for place get in earnest. Fifty candidates and only three to be elected. I hope in this issue you will have the names of the three. If the election takes place Tuesday, you will have it. Now, when this is over, I am going to visit Chicago for a few hours, and then off to Fort Worth, Texas, to be with the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and from there I will make it to Cleveland for the National Baptist Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. Congress, June 18. This is going to be a big meeting I am told. I have been keeping you posted on these big meetings all the time. I will have to bring this letter to a stop, for I cannot tell it all in this issue, but in the next I may tell you how it happened. CHARLES E. STUMP. No Courting There For centuries past it has been the custom in China for parents of a baby girl to betroth her, in infancy, to the youthful son of a friendly couple, and there have been numerous cases in which the girl has not seen her husband-to be until she arrived at the home of his parents for the marriage ceremony. Respect the Truth Respect the truth. Be true. There is no conscience, there is no noble life, there is no capacity for sacricles where there is not a religious, a rigid, and a rigorous respect for truth. Strive, then, to fulfill this difficult duty, Untruth corrupts whoever makes use of it before it overcomes him against whom it is used. First Trip to Australia The first authenticated voyage to Australia was made by the Dutch in 1606. It is believed, however, that the country was visited by the French prior to this date, though there are no actual records. The first important explorations were made by Captain Cook, who visited the country in 1770. Citrus Fruit Clipped Oranges and lemons for commercial purposes are always clipped from the trees. The Shepherd Is Received with Honors by the Multitude of His Flock THE CEREMONY AT HIS BELOVED CHURCH—Dense throngs were packed about Holy Name Cathedral where the long procession ended. But in deference to the distinguished prelate all fell back, leaving a spacious lane for his entrance into the church, which was profusely draped with flags and the papal colors. The car containing His Eminence is designated by the arrow. ALL GOD'S CHILLUN GOT WINGS By Jack Smothers There appears in one of Chicago's race papers this week, a cartoon which will be harmful to colored people all over the United States for many months to come. In the first part of the picture there is a white audience looking on as a white woman kisses a colored man's hand, with the expression, "I love you." In the second part of the picture, the mistress is saying to her colored maid, "Sally, when John goes out of town, I want you to introduce me to some swell colored fellow like the one in 'All God's Chillin Got Wings.'" This cartoon alone would not be so bad, but it is headed, "Maybe this is why they don't want this picture shown." It is unfortunate that sensible people should print this kind of rot—especially to send it to the uncivilized portions of America where it will get ignorant unsuspecting colored people under the ban of the displeasure of their neighbors. The black man has burdens enough without having others put on his shoulders by those who have made fortunes through appealing to his passions. CHICAGO HONORS THE NEW CARDINAL Vast Throngs Stand in Reverence Along the Entire Fifteen Mile Line of March Chicago does nothing by halves. It knows how to turn out to do honor to one of its great sons. Not since the patriotic affairs during the World's War was there ever such an outpouring of her citizenry as greeted His Eminence, George Cardinal Mundelle, just recently invested with the highest honor of his great church. The Cardinal arrived from New York about two o'clock Sunday and from 55th and Leavitt streets, to North avenue, people fought for a place on the sidewalks to get a glimpse of the magnificent vestments of the highest titled officer of the great Roman Catholic Church in America. The onlookers were not Catholics alone; they represented every walk of life, and every race and creed. There was no hesitation in doing honor to the Royal Representative of the Emporial Mother Church. Cardinal Mundelein not only greeted each person that could be covered by his benigning glances but made the sign of the cross, as he did so. He pronounced his blessings upon the vast throng who seemed delighted to do him honor. The services were held in the church of the Holy Name Cathedral at the corner of State and Superior streets. Holy Name Cathedral Holy Name Cathedral is at all times a wonderfully great edifice and impresses those who go within its sacred precincts, but on Sunday it was decorated so tastefully and elegantly that even the great Cardinal himself must have been agreeably surprised. The decorations were the colors of the Roman Church, and these tastefully intertwined with silken flags of the United States. During the ceremonies the spacious cathedral was packed to overflowing and no traffic could pass on State street for blocks on each side of the church. Even after the ceremonies were concluded, thousands of people including the writer, filed in and out to not only feast their eyes, but to do reverence to the great occasion. It will be years and years before Chicago will have any occasion that will equal the great spectacle of the reception of its first cardinal. FOUND MAN ROBBED UNDER ELEVATED STRUCTURE Henry Martin was found stabbed through the heart Friday morning. He was found under the elevated structure near 32nd street. He was immediately removed to a hospital, but died on the way. He was 30 years of age. COL. W. E. MOLLISON DELIVERS GREAT ADDRESS AT BEREAN CHURCH On Sunday night last, before an audience which packed the auditorium of Berean Baptist Church at 52nd and Dearborn streets, Col. W. E. Mollison, well known attorney delivered an address which was pronounced by all who heard it a masterpiece. His subject was "The Jew and the lesson of his life." The speaker showed a vast familiarity, not only with the Jewish history, but with the scriptures, ancient and modern. He told of the difficulties that the Jew had encountered in all the ages, and how he had always and everywhere been faithful to his ideals, patient, industrious and willing to wait to accomplish the greater purposes of his race. The speaker most eloquently described Palestine, its rivers, its cities, its mountains and its plains and how within it this great tribe had lived and had scattered to all quarters of the earth. He told of the conditions that prevailed in all of the modern states of Europe; how Russia, the greatest of the civilized empires, had crushed and murdered him, and finally how the Jew had come to the top and was joint ruler of millions who had despised and spat upon him. The speaker told many interesting things in his own experience of how the Jews patience had been rewarded and how at last he is coming into his own. He paid them a high compliment for their obedience to the law and especially that commandment, which says "Thou shalt not kill." He admonished the audience that no better example could be followed than that of the Jew who had suffered all things, hoped all things, and whose charity was as wide as the seas. The audience applauded for a full minute at the close of the address. Mr. Jones Stoval, the chairman of the monthly Literary Club, and Rev, W. S. Braddan, both paid the speaker a high compliment which the address well merited. GONE TO LEAVENWORTH George Brown, 37 years of age, and who formerly lived at 222 E. 44th street, was given a five-year sentence to Leavenworth for forging government checks, charged with having been stolen out of mail boxes. Brown was about to make defense when the secret service men notified his attorney that if a defense was made, that he would turn George over to the authorities of a southern state. They also said that they had pictures and finger prints of George in a Western State, and all in all, a plea of guilty looked most advisable. PAL DOES NOT WANT TO PROSECUTE At the 48th Street Station, Tuesday Eugene Hutchinson was arranged for shooting his pal, whose name is not mentioned. The pal was drunk and very threatenable at the time Hutchinson shot him. It developed just before the trial that the man who had been shot was a very desperate character who had killed a companion under cruel circumstances about a year ago and for some reason was not tried. He has escaped punishment so far. The pal who was shot and whose name has not been learned does not want to prosecute Hutchinson. 'It may be that this case will bring the other to light in such a way that the THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MAY 17, 1924 State's Attorney will have two prosecutions instead of one. CHARGED WITH BURGLARY AND FORGERY Joe Pryor and James T. Jones are charged with having burglarized the Messenger Commissary at 237 E. Ontario street. It is charged that they took some checks and attempted to pass them, at the Midway Bank. Jones said Pryor gave him the checks and Pryor, like Peter, denies Jones, and says he knows nothing about him. But the police found moonshine in Pryor's truck and both men will be required to give a five thousand dollar bond before they will walk the streets again, unless they are tried and acquitted. CHARGED WITH CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS James Jones was found carrying a gun by Officer O'Bryant, as he was walking down 31st street and Wabash avenue, Tuesday night. The gun was protruding from his pocket and he was walking in a very suspicious manner, which attracted the officer's attention. He was before Judge Bugee Tuesday morning and fined $5 and costs. PICKPOCKET CAUSES STIR IN COURT WHEN FINED $25 BY THE JUDGE Made Attack Upon Officer Starks, Who Had Arrested Him and was Called Back by Judge and Fined $100 Herbert Colwell, a well known pick-pocket, was arrested Monday night by Officer Starks. He was before Judge Bugee, at the Wabash Avenue Court, Tuesday morning, where he vigorously denied that he was attempting to do any harm or to relieve the inmates of the crowded State street car on which he was riding, when placed under arrest. Officer Starks, who has arrested Colwell twice before, told the Judge that the man was mingling in a large crowd and that he was a well known pickpocket, and although he did not actually see him digging down into any one's pocket, that as that was his business, he knew he would commit this outrage on some of the unsuspecting persons on the car. He was fined $25 and costs. As Colwell went to the clerk's desk to pay the fine, Officer Starks, who was just behind him, was addressed by Colwell as being a "no good" man and called a very vile name, and he then turned around to deliver a blow on the face of the officer, who was quick enough to step aside. He was taken on the outside where he was soon subdued. The judge ordered him back into court and there witnesses who heard the conversation which passed between the officer and Colwell, testified as to its correctness. He was then ordered to pay a fine of $100 and costs. Mr. Colwell was represented by Mr. Clifford A. Tavernier, a well known attorney, with offices at 3457 South State street. TWO YOUTHS HELD OVER TO THE GRAND JURY CHARGED WITH HAVING PARTIC PATED IN 18 ROBBERIES They Are Held Under $100,000 Bonds Standard Smith and Theodore Bonds, two youths of about the age of twenty-one and two, were held over to the grand jury and placed under bonds of $50,000 each in the Wabash Avenue Court, Tuesday morning. They were arrested Friday evening, near 4308 Wabash, while attempting to hold up a store. Revolvers were found on each one of them. Several persons who had been the victims of their shrewdness, were in court and testified that they were the sam boys who had on previous times came into their place of business and held them up, taking money and merchandise. They made no statements as to their guilt or innocence in the matter, but attempted to question one witness who identified them as being the same persons who some time in April, surprised him by walking into his store and asking for a match. He became suspicious and drew his gun from under the register. One saw this movement and screamed, "Fire, he's got a gun," and he did fire, wounding the man, but not staying long enough to explore the cash register. POOL ROOM RAIDED Owner Was Having a Lively Season in Baseball Pool John Roberts, John Thomas, and Thomas Sussle, the latter the owner of a Billiard Parlor at 4250 So. State street were hailed into court by an officer who raided the place on a charge of gambling. They found a large box containing tickets which were used in "Baseball Pool." The owner denied any knowledge of the contents of the box which was exhibited to the court and also the two persons arrested with him. He claimed to have never seen it before. The court declared that this was a bad form of gambling and against the law, that it would be impossible to have such things in his store without his knowledge. The owner was fined $100 and costs; the other two, Roberts and Thomas, were discharged. DISTURBED IN PARTY BY AR RIVAL OF OFFICER Hides the Whiskey Under the Carpet on the Stairway; Later Discovered by Officer Monday night, as a party was going on at 3927 Indiana avenue, the inmates were rudely disturbed or halted in their merriment, by the arrival of an officer. There were some shots fired, but as you know how some of these shooting affairs are—you don't seem to know who shot you or anything about it, although you are guests at the same house. John Watson, Granville McElroy, and J. W. Turner, were in court Tuesday morning, as three of the guests of the fatal party. J. W. Turner was the man shot. When asked who shot him, he didn't know anything about as to the time or manner in which it happened. A taxicab driver of "Your Cab Company," was there, and was charged with firing the shot by the officer, but it was not proven at the trial that Mr. Watson, the taxi-driver, had a gun nor was he seen firing one. As a result of the very mixed up affair, they were discharged by Judge Bugee in the Wabash Avenue Court, Tuesday morning. The Your Cab Company was represented by a very able lawyer, Hon. S. B. Turner, whose office is located at 155 N. Clark street. DRUNKEN MAN TRIED TO FORCE DOOR OF FLAT Emmet McFarland, of 37th and Wa-bash avenue, tried to force himself in to a flat near his home, Monday night. He had been drinking quits heavily and confessed that he was so much under the influence of whiskey that he did not realize his act. He was fined $5 and costs.

U. Charles Blooah Studying in Divinity School Northwestern University summer school has enrolled on its roster the name of Chares Blooah of Liberia, on the west coast of Africa, the son of a wild African chief. Blooah's father is the hereditary king of the Nemeah tribe of Negroes, a doughty warrior of the name of Chief Kaiwillie Geequammus. His son is a student of divinity, now working his way through Garrett Biblical institute. Because he is working his way through college, Charles hasn't been able to keep up in all his studies, so he plans taking the summer course to catch up in his credits. Saw Missionary from Tree "I was 14 years old and playing in the top of a giant cocoanut tree in my native village when I first saw a white man," Blooah said. "He was John Harrow, a Methodist missionary, who came to our village with his Christian message. "As it happened, Mr. Harrow had with him a native of an enemy tribe. When I noticed this black man with him, I gave the tribal battle cry, which brought out our warriors in a hurry. "They formed in battle array and the missionary and his interpreter had to walk in between our battle lines. Mr. Harrow told us he came for peace and not for war, and explained the religion of Jesus Christ. Moved by Talk "Our men laid aside their spears and listened. I myself was deeply moved and felt the call." Blooah's ambition is to go back to his tribe when he attains his degree as a minister and convert his former tribesmen to the Christian religion.

It was a pretentious residence surrounded by beautiful grounds. He remained devoted to his arrogant mother and proud sister through a stipulation of his father's will—that Judson, remaining unmarried as long as his mother and frail sister should need his care, would in that circumstance only inherit the estate. But inherited, luxurious indulgence caused the good-natured Judson to be apparently submissive to the stipulation required. Judson Fairburn, even now in later years, was a lovable man. Richard Warring in his young manhood made the elder man his close companion. Now, Richard was going to a far mountainous country, on a long coveted engineering commission. So, on a sunshine morning, Richard found himself traveling up Greenport toward the white house, a vision just above. In this wondrous land, the young man's blood raced in anticipation of pleasing adventure. A sound in the pine needles behind his resting retreat caused him to turn; a girl stood there, blossoming like some mountain flower out of the solitude. "Mr. Warring?" questioned the unexpected one. "Granny Laurel sent me on to meet you. Mr. Fairburn had written us of your coming. You have a horse, I see." "I hired him," Richard explained, "farther down the village." He paused, asked of the fair guide-"And you?—Mr. Fairburn mentioned only Mrs. Laurel and Sallie." The girl motioned to the seat of pine needles which Richard had vacated. "May we talk a little while?" she asked impulsively; "there is much I would like to hear about Mr. Fairburn. He did not speak of me? Well, he knew that I would speak for myself. I am 'Glory.'" "Glory!" Richard looked at the glowing face, the shining eyes—"An appropriate name," he said, and smiled. The young woman answered gravely. "I will tell you how I happened to be named—it is my history. I call Mrs. Laurel 'Granny' and Sallie 'Aunt,' because—because I have to pretend relatives. I—am nameless." Her fearless gaze met his pitying, wondering one. "It was one morning at sunrise I came, Granley Laurel says, a gift from Heaven, with the sunrise. The mountains were all alow when they found me here. And strangely, your friend Mr. Fairburn had arrived the night before, on one of his mountain visits. When Granny carried me to him, that he might look into my baby face, he said: "You must keep her and care for her, and I will be glad to send money that she may have schooling, and the things that home girls have." Mr. Fairburn had, Granny told me, lost one he loved, and this thought came to him, as a means of comfort. He kept his word; and when he would come, as I grew to girlhood, we would be great chums, riding, walking together these very paths. As soon as I was old enough to teach in the tiny school I attended, I wrote and told him to discontinue sending money. He was very kind, and I write to him still to show that I do not forget that long kindness. So, can you think how glad I am to welcome Mr. Fairburn's friend? We hope to make your stay here pleasant." Richard's stay was pleasant. Never had he known such happiness. To go out into the sweet morning air with Glory; to watch with her the stars shining above the hills from the porch of the white house. To be with Glory—that was not only happiness, but a great joy. So, as the time of his departure drew near, Richard asked Glory to marry him; and simply, her trustful eyes upon his, Glory promised. The mountain mission minister performed the marriage ceremony in Granny Laurel's little home, and afterward Richard took his bride on a brief wedding journey to the higher mounts. When they returned Granny Laurel met them; her kind eyes showing traces of tears. Gently she broke the news. Judson Farburn had died of heart trouble. It was his old mother who had written tremblingly to the address her son had given. Judson had confessed when word of Glory's marriage came to him, that he was Glory's father. Years ago he, too, had known a wedding ceremony in Granny Laurel's little home for Glory's mother was Granny's daughter, indeed. He had intended to make confession to his own mother just as the summons came calling him to the mountain, to see his young wife pass from the world in the sunrise, which left the baby Glory opening her soft eyes. Through the years which followed Judson had remained silent, hoping perhaps, to gain his inheritance, to pass on to his loved daughter. But Judson's mother outlived him. And now, in the kinder vision of old age, she begged of her granddaughter to come on to this, her own true inheritance. Granny Laurel kissed Glory's forehead. "You will go with your husband," she said, "to claim your own, while I will stay here, that you may come back often to the peace and glory of the mountain. Dear," she added tenderly, "that first sunrise was but the beginning of this, your perfect day." JOHN BAIN President MICHAEL MAISEL Vice-President EDW. O. BARRY Vice-Pres. and Cashier W.
