The Broad Ax

EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA A Splendid Joke on the Leaders of the Democratic Party at the Late Democratic Convention Held in New York City; They Contended "That An Irish-American Catholic Must Be Nominated for Either President or Vice-President; That Light Wines and Beer Would Prevail;" But in the Final End, Two Bone Dry Candidates Were Nominated ONE OF THE CANDIDATES BEING A WET BAPTIST AND THE OTHER AN EPISCOPALIAN. AND THEY WILL HAVE, SO IT IS SAID, THE UNITED SUPPORT OF JOHN PIERPONT MORGAN, THE GREAT WALL STREET BANKER. UNITED STATES SENATOR BURTON K. WHEELER, OF MONTANA, DEMOCRAT, WILL SUPPORT UNITED STATES SENATOR, ROBERT M. LA FOLLETTE, FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Vol. XXIX. Ten or twelve days prior to the convening of the late Democratic National convention in New York City, which is the last city in the world to hold any kind of a national convention in. The hue and cry went up to the high heavens from many parts of this country that "the delegates attending that convention and its chief or head bosses would be forced to nominate a real wet candidate for president and an Irish-American Catholic for vice-president and for ten or twelve days and nights they bitterly fought each other almost a hand to hand-fight over those*two questions or propositions. It was claimed by many of the delegates and by the high priests or chiefs of the convention that the Hon. William Gibbs McAdoo was the head and front of the bone dry element in the convention; that he was also lined up with the three K's., who bitterly hate the Jewish race, the colored race and the Catholics and by fastening those charges upon Mr. McAdoo and his followers and frequently whenever they attempted to raise their voices in behalf of Mr. McAdoo they were heartily hissed. Even Col. William Jennings Bryan was virtually mobbed and lynched and brought forth many cat calls every time that he orated in behalf of Mr. McAdoo, and attending the New York convention Col. Bryan received a large dose of lawlessness, bulldoizing, bluffing and mob and lynch law as practiced by his Democratic brethren in many parts of the South. Near the end of the long and bitter struggle, Mr. McAdoo, figuratively speaking, was knocked and kicked and NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE IN TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL MEET, AUGUST 20, 21, AND 22, 1924 CHICAGO AS HOST The National Negro Business League meets in Chicago, August 20, 21, and 22, to celebrate the Silver Jubilee and the Twenty-fifth annual meeting of the organization. Chicago hospitality and Chicago progress will join hands to give this "national organization of service" a genuine welcome. The Associated Business Club of Chicago with Robert S. Abbott, President and Jesse Binga, Secretary, will act as host of the National League, while citizens representing every line of business and profession have united with the Club. 5 CENTS PER COPY did Joke state Demo ontended ted for B vines and two Bone CANDIDATES BEING A AND THE OTHER IAN.

Bryan and then the shouters and retainers of the Hon. Alfred E. Smith, who had endeavored to choke off all the other presidential candidates in order to make clear sailing for him, being wet all the time and all the way, it looked as though he would rush through the convention on a dead run and in the final end land the nomination on his wet record, but the unseen fates decreed otherwise and Governor Smith and his wet planks were laid out stiff and cold. To show or to display their utter contempt for the whole shooting match and the delegates in a wild stampede turned around and nominated bone dry candidates for president and vice-president of the United States. With all of the bitter fighting among the Democrats attending the National Convention, some colored Democrats were present and lined up the sides of the various contending factions. Alexander Manning of Indiana remained within the shadow of Hon. Thomas Taggart, all the time. Major A. E. Patterson, assistant corporation counsel of Chicago, was always near into Hon. George E. Brennan, the new member of the Democratic National Committee, Mayor William E. Dever and Hon. Martin J. O'Brien. Doctor Collins of New York City, who has the distinction of being the first colored man to serve as a regular delegate to a Democratic National Convention, and the other colored Democrats residing in New York City and the East, marched on to defeat with Hon. Alfred E. Smith and with the other unsuccessful presidential candidates. The sessions will be held at the Wendell Phillips High School, the annual reception on Friday evening, August 22nd, will be held in the Coliseum, and the Entertainment Committee is preparing a series of recreational features for the delegates. Claude A. Barnett, Transportation Agent, announces special round-trip rates from all parts of the country, and hotels and private homes are preparing to accommodate the delegates. The program is being prepared with great care. The array of speakers represent leaders of both races who will tell of the League's accomplishments and at the same time emphasize how the organization can serve the race and the country with its new economic program. 393 PEU The popular and far-seeing State's Attorney of Cook County, who wants his legions of friends to know that he is running strong for re-election in November to his present laborious and responsible position.

THE COLORED MAN'S PLACE IN HISTORY AND SO ON By ERNEST FREMONT TITTLE (white) (In the Indianapolis Sunday Star) I remember reading some time ago a statement made by Professor Commons of the University of Wisconsin to the effect that the Teutonic race, some 500 years after Christ, were exceedingly primitive in their civilization, yet had mental qualities which made it possible for them to absorb the highest Roman civilization. And I was particularly impressed with his assertion that "could their babies have been taken out of the forest 2,000 years ago and transplanted to the homes and schools of modern America, they would have covered in one generation the progress of twenty centuries." How impatient we are with the Negro. Only sixty years out of slavery; yet we expect him to measure up to the very highest standards of white world culture. And because he sometimes fails to do this, we jump to the conclusion that he is an inherently, and therefore permanently inferior being who may be tolerated only if he "keeps his place." What is the Negro's "place?" The youngest student ever to receive the degree of Ph. D. from the University of Pennsylvania was Harris F. Blackstone, a Negro. In 1922, second on the list of 200 young medical students examined for internships at the Cook county hospital was Dr. Walter S. Grant, a Negro. In 1922, as a result of four years of study, Smith College granted both the A. B. and M. A. degrees to Miss Eunice Hunton, colored. In 1921, the prize for the best French novel of the year was granted to Rene Maran, a Negro. In 1921, the Drama League of America selected as one of ten persons, who during the year had contributed most to the art of the theater, Charles S. Gilpin, a Negro. The United States patent office has granted fifty-seven patents to Elijah McCoy, a Negro. And there is Scott, the mural painter and Tanner, the painter of religious subjects, and Charles W. Chestnut, the novelist, and W. E. Burkhart Dubois, the brilliant savant, and William Stanley Braithwaite, the widely-read literary critic, and Paul Laurence Dunbar, the poet whose S. Willis is Grand Chancellor, had a recent successful meeting in Fort Worth. Colonel Roscoe Simmons was the principal speaker. At this meeting more than $500,000 in available resources was reported. The Florida Grand Lodge of the same organization of which Mr. W. W. Andrews is Grand Chancellor and recently in Sanford, Florida, and reported more than $400,000 in available assets. Doctor G. W. Jones, Monmouth, III, who can measure up shoulders with the leading M. D's, in this state, stands by this newspaper and once each week he takes pleasure in reading its contents. Lay me down beneaf de willers in de grass, Whah de branch'll go a singin' as it pass, An' wen I'm a layin' low, I kin hayeah it as it go, Singin', "Sleep, my honey, tek yo' res' at las'." has made the whole world of sensitive spirits his debtor. What, then, is the Negro's place? We men and women of the white race have treated the Negro badly enough, God knows. We have laid violent hands upon him and taken him from his home in Africa to serve us as a hewer of wood and drawer of water in America. We have de-bauched his women folk and then branded his as unmoral. We have in many instances kept him in ignorance and then pronounced him hopelessly stupid. President R. R. Moton of Tuskegee is authority for the statement that for 2,000,000 Negro children in the United States there are, even yet, no educational facilities provided. We have treated the Negro badly enough. Has not the time come for us to give him a fair chance? In his eloquent volume, "The Souls of Black Folks," Prof. Burkhart Dubois says that "through all the sorrow of the Negro's sorrow songs there breathes a hope, a faith in the ultimate justice of things. . . . Sometimes it is a faith in life. Sometimes it is a faith in death. Sometimes an assurance of boundless justice in some fair world beyond. But whichever it is, the meaning is always clear—that sometimes, somewhere, men will judge men by their souls and not by their skins." Has not the time come for us to judge the Negro by his soul—his demonstrated capacity for cultural achievement—and give him a chance to reveal what his true "place" is in the future of civilization? I do not know a better way of summing up of this movement than was put in a little verse which appeared not long ago in a South African magazine: "If I knew you and you knew me, if both of us could clearly see, and, with an inner sight, divine the meaning of your heart and mine! I am sure that we would differ less and clasp our hands in friendliness; our thoughts would pleasantly agree, if I knew you and you knew me." MR. AND MRS. JAMES W. BREEN WILL SPEND THEIR VACA TION IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK This coming Tuesday morning, Mr. and Mrs. James W. Breen, 947 W. 54th place, will start on their pleasure trip, through the National Yellow Stone Park, where they will spend one month vacationing. Mr. Breen is one of the wide awake assistant State's Attorney's of Cook county and he has justly earned his vacation for himself and his good wife, Mrs. Breen.

A HOLE IN THE WALL By Walter Charles Copeland, M. A. Oxon It was along Lake street, Chicago, near Western avenue, at a narrow door beside a big window, containing no merchandise—just the effigy of the Saviour. Professor A. was talking to a strapping Negro with a croix de guerre on his coat lapel. "Come into the new colored mission, brother; a bishop of Chicago is preaching and a bishop from Oregon will be celebrating"—(the Rt. Rev. S. M. Griswold and the Rt. Rev. W. T. Sumner). B. (a bystander) to A. "Say, Professor, that man is an ex-saloon keeper." A. "The Savior died for saloon keepers as well as for you and me. Come you also and see a converted saloon." B. "Why this hole in the wall is of infamous reputation, and used to be called the 'Bucket of Blood.' It was the gate of hell." A. "It is now the gate of heaven." "And yet there is room," rang out just then the divine invitation, sounding through the voice of the anointed preacher. The exhorter went on from this text to show how the mother church was watching over physical and bodily needs, as well as ministering the heavenly food of God's altar to the souls of men. It was the pleading of the gospel of reconciliation for the extension of God's invisible empire of peace and good will. As the three passed noiselessly through the outer room to the inner chamber, the radiance came like a sunburst. In the chapel, agleam with lighted tapers, there was truly a glory on the altar. For the church was declaring her duty to a people once in bondage, and still to some under a ban. Yet "God made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on the face of the whole earth." The frank recognition of the wivine will was itself a benediction realized by all. In such a place, so transformed the heart of man could not remain more obdurate than material surroundings. Here had been an eviction of evil, and a substituting of heavenly influences with sweet fragrance and sacred music. Nothing more material. No building of massive structure! Just a converted cabaret, in which the Presence had come to take up His abode. The need was pressing with a contrary spirit abroad of coercion and cruelty. People had been brooding over chimeras till their imaginations and emotions had lost relation to reality. Politicians had propounded solutions of their Negro problem: segregation, colonization, amalgamation, extermination, some of which were nothing short of Satanic. A scene like this of white and colored, worshipping at one common altar, was helping to restore the lost feeling of a common humanity by the conviction that for all differences of color, there was but "one Lord, one faith, one sacrament, one hell for the damned. As the words of the Agnus Dei vibrated, "O Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world, grant us Thy peace," an incident of former days in Washington flashed into memory. A militant garvieite in government employ when asked his opinion on the colored problem, remarked with signi- --- ficance, fired as he was by the music of the Ethiopian march and sedition oratory, "without shedding of blood there is no remission of sins." "What? if battlefield blood were desired, had there not already been more than enough outpoured during the Civil War. There had been only one shedding of blood which could operate for the remission of sins, individual or national, that of the Agmus Dei. This difficult factor in America's destinies has baffled the deepest thinkers. There is apparently no political solution. But not for the first time in history is the wisdom of the wise confounded by supposed foolishness. So much better indeed is the simple faith of simplicity that conceit of superior intelligence that one learns without surprise from a great Seer that the souls of colored folk are especially beloved by the angels in heaven. Christ's utterance about becoming as little children beams with a new light. In that extraordinary environment with its evil associations driven out, there was much that one could read in the dusky countenances of the congregation. The conversion of the notorious cabaret seemed to them in itself a miracle, as of the exercising of demons, as more than one hinted to Father Gibson of the Cathedral Shelter—the mother church of this mission to colored men.

HEROIC POLICEMAN DIES OF WOUNDS Policeman James Williams, a Collored member of the Cottage Grove avenue station force, died Wednesday as result of a heroic battle he engaged in Monday night when he went to the rescue of Miss Flora Lewis, who was being robbed by four men in front of her home, 2938 S. Wabash avenue. Policeman Williams had traded nights off with another member of the Gottage Grove avenue force and was patrolling his associate's beat when he saw the four men hold up the girl. He rushed upon them with drawn pistol. The quartet opened fire upon him. Although brought to the ground with five bullets in his body, the policeman succeeded in shooting one of the robbers, Nathan Paulette, 70 E. Twenty-eighth street. Paulette and his three companions have been identified by the girl. The others charged with the robbery and killing are Charles Hollis, 546 E. Forty-sixth st.; Clarence Mitchell, 2808 Indiana ave., and Walter Harris, 514 Bunker st. Paulette is in the Bridewell hospital with a bullet wound inflicted by Officer Williams and he is liable to pass away at any time. Officer Williams, like a brave hero, closed his eyes in death at the Michael Reese Hospital. Without wasting any time, all those responsible for his untimely death should be hung up by their necks until they are dead. COL. ARCHIBALD N.

Witnesses for the state testified that Mrs. Foster even chewed the end of lead bullets "to make the wounds bigger." Mrs. Foster said that her husband was shot accidentally druing a struggle for possession of a revolver with which Foster had threatened her. Mrs. Foster was represented by Miss Helen Ciresg. This is believed to be the first time that an alleged murderess has been represented by a woman attorney.

Of course I'll take anybody they send me against," said Jack. ILLINOIS AUTOS 1,023,762; FEES OVER $10,000,000 Springfield. Ill.—More than a million automobiles have been registered in Illinois so far this year, Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson lately announced.

The total registration to date is 1,023,762, divided as follows: Pleasure cars, 892,158; trucks, 127,301; dealers, 4,303. COL. CHARLESE. STUMP, THE REGULAR OLD-TIME TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS BEEN TRAMPING HIS WAY THROUGH SOUTH CAROLINA AND HE WILL SOON BLOW INTO CHICAGO FROM THAT ROTTEN STATE. Denmark, South Carolina.—Did you ever hear of the world standing still since God put it in action? I have never. I wish I could have been in New York to have seen them democrats trying to nominate a man to run against President Calvin Coolidge. They ballotled for two weeks about, and then they put down William G. McAdoo, and presidential timber Smith of New York, and told Brother Underwood of Alabama to stand aside, and selected a lawyer from West Virginia, and believe that he will lead them on to victory. Before saying more, I want to tell the republicans of this country, that if they would elect Coolidge to succeed himself they will have to get busy, for there are two democrats running and the second man is simply running to defeat his party, that Senator LaFollette or something like that. He is not in the race to win, for he knows that there is no more chance of him being elected president than there is for me to be elected, but he hopes to defeat the party which he claims to love so dearly. Such men should be read out of the party and placed right where they belong. The time is coming when the republicans are really going to have backbone, and when they do that, it will be all the stronger. Of course Mr. Davis is going to seek my vote, and his party all through the North will seek it. He will not have to do anything down home, for the south may be termed political slaves, and they must turn their votes over to the democratic party, and if they don't like the man nominated they can just lump it. My people have been just that much slaves to the republican party, but honey put it down that I told you so, that you cannot look into my face now and tell which way I am going to vote and more than you can look in my mouth and tell what I have been eating. The election is on for next November, and I am going to vote for the men who are our friends. Of course I will cast my vote for Coolidge, and then there will come the Representatives and the Senators, and there is where our guns must be turned in the future. Of course I am going to vote for Martin B. Madden to represent me in the House of Representatives, for he is sane and sound and safe, and then I am going to vote for Charles S. Deneen for our Senator, for he is made of the right kind of stuff. He was governor of all the people when he was governor, and he proved to be a man with backbone, and for that reason our case—in fact all Americans will be safe in his hand. He will represent the best interest of America and Americans, and will stand up for right and justice to be meted out to all people. Governor Deneen in the United States Senate will do all in his power to strike down lawlessness, crime, criminality, mob violence and lynching. He will put his feet down on it and do it hard. We need a man in the Senate whose heart is in the right place, if not on the right side. I am going to take a few speaking lessons, and then I am going to speak for Governor Deneen to go to the Senate. But I am not in politics now, and you will excuse me for what I have said. When I took my pen in hand last week to write you that letter I was in Birmingham, Alabama, the guest of Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle and the Tuggle Institute, and had the pleasure of enjoying many blessings. I met many people there, and went down to see them on base ball. It has often been a question whether or not Baptist preachers should go to ball games, and I went down to see how it was so I could pass on it myself, but to save my soul I am not any better off now then before. Believe me when I tell you this ball business is a hard piece of work. I could see in it science, art, culture, and then a real contest, and that is just what life is, a contest. Men are contesting for the mastery. They struggle to make it safe to home, and that is what we are doing in life, contending for the mastery. Every man is trying to make a safe hit, but they do not always succeed. They just throw the ball at each other like they would knock the devil out of it or out of the fellow they call cestcher. He is all bundled up like he has been in a wreck. He has something over his face, like the muzzle put on a mad dog, and when he gets this on then there is something he puts on his breast like a thing to sleep on, and with all this on he is behind to catch the missed balls. I feel like telling you all about the game, but then you are in the game of life, but I do not know just what part you are playing. Whether you are at the bat, whether you are short stop, or on the base or make up the battery, but I am sure that which ever place you are you must be doing your part or they will just run right over you. You must strive to make a safe hit, and then make the second, third and home, and in all of this you must keep your eyes on the basemen, the pitcher, the catcher, the short stop and you must not fan out. Make life worth while. Information came to me that Prof. J. R. E. Lee, has one more time entered the school room and this time he has gone to head the school in Tallahassee, Florida, the state school. He is now the president of that school, and I am sure that he is going to do good work, for he is just a school man. I do not know how long he is going to stay, but he is going to be president while he is there and you may just put this in your pipe and smoke it. Major Howard failed, utterly failed. The place was too large for him, then it was hard for him to follow a man like Dr. Nathan B. Young, an educator, a college president and a leader of men. It is just like trying to put a pint of nuts in a gallon measure, it will just rattle. For one year Major Howard rattled, and he rattled out, and they now have a real man in the position. Life is just life, and here I am way over here in South Carolina. From Birmingham I went to Atlanta, and President J. H. Lewis, of Morris Brown University, got me and toted me around in his automobile car carriage. We went out to see Dr. Daniel W. Cannon, president of the National B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Congress which met in Cleveland, Ohio, last month. He was sick, and a very sick man at that, yet he stopped being sick long enough to shake my lily black hand and to say that he was glad to see me. His wife and daughter also rejoiced at seeing me, for they had wept over a month ago, having heard that I had cashed in and was with my Heavenly Father, but believe me I am still down here, but don't know just how long I am going to remain. Dr. Cannon is an earnest hard worker, and he has devoted his life to the Sunday School Congress, and it is now just a young National Baptist convention. It is a school of methods of Sunday School church and young people's work. If you attend these meetings you are lifted up and then you are benefited. I thank God for the life and work of Cannon and pray that he be fully restored to health. I had the pleasure of seeing Miss Ola Walker, of the Atlanta Independent, the Rev. Ernest Hall, the great preacher and leader, and then I touched many other lives, and pulled out from there. Bishop W. A. Fountain, got his wife and daughters, and toted me in his automobile car carriage to the stable to get on the Central of Georgia wagon for Savannah, where I spent a few hours, and made it on to this place. In Savannah, I met the pastor of the First African Bryan Baptist church, and the bankers and other professional and business men. Deacon Singfield, one of the busiest men in town toted me out to see Mrs. Sarah Cashin Brown, a prominent woman in education. She is a teacher in the public school system of Savannah. I remember when she was connected with the Florida Baptist College, Jacksonville, Fla. From Savannah, to this place, and I am here with Prof. Martin A. Menafee and Prof. Blanton, the two intellectual giants of No. South Carolina. I am going to leave here as soon as I get through spelling this letter, and will go to Method and other places in North Carolina. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. God bless you. Let me hear from you. You may reach me at 4823 Calumet avenue, Chicago. CHARLES E. STUMP. INTERESTING NEWS ITEMS OR ARTICLES By Anna Peachblossom ATTORNEY A. L. WILLIAMS WINS ANOTHER BATTLE AGAINST YELLOW CAB CO. Received $250 for Damages Sustained to His New American Sedan Attorney A. L. Williams, who has offices at 184 W. Washington St., was the winner of a judgment for $250 against the Yellow Cab Co., for damages sustained to his car on February 19, as it stood in front of his home, 3646 Michigan Avenue. It will be recalled that on February 10, nine days prior to this accident, Mr. Williams received another smash to his car, which also resulted in obtaining a judgment for $70 against the company. Mr. Williams has a reputation of "can't lose," which seems to bear him out in all cases. He has a lovely home at 3646 Michigan Avenue, a splendid wife and two children. OFFICER FOUND GUN IN AU- TOMOBILE; PLACES MAN UN- DER ARREST Officer Covington found a gun in an automobile belonging to William McGuire, on Tuesday afternoon about 3:30, on the corner of 34th and Wabash Avenue. The gun was concealed under the tool box, and was not discernable without removing the box. Mr. McGuire was represented by Mr. Clifford A. Tavernier, who has offices at 3457 S; State St. McGuire was fined $5 and costs. MAN AND WIFE HAVE GREAT ROW OVER WHO GETS THE TRUNK Judge Decided It "Belonged to the Woman" Mr. and Mrs. Harlan, residing at 3456 Dearborn St., came to blows over who should get a trunk said to have been bought by the husband. Mrs. Harlan alleged that she had been kicked and beaten unmercifully by her husband and that he had done it on several occasions. The husband alleged that his wife had kept from him the fact that she had been married before and that she was the mother of a child. He also testified that her sister had come here lately from Montgomery and brought three children with her, which had added much weight to the family and which seemed to brew trouble for both. Both Mr. and Mrs. Harlan testified that they did not wish to continue their relations as husband and wife, and were told by the Judge to keep away from each other. He also told Harlan that if he persisted in going around his wife making trouble, that he would be sent out to the Bridewell. As for the trunk—well, a woman deserves something out of her husband's labor, so she was awarded the trunk. ICE MAN FINED $5 AND COSTS FOR ALLOWING ICE AND CHILDREN "TO BE SO NOISY" A complaint was filed by E. B. Jones, against Walter Rubinick, alleging that he was so noisy with his ice and children that he has become a nuisance. Rubinick testified that his children were making the noise and he had forgotten to tell them to be quiet. He was fined $5 and costs, by Judge Geo. B. Holmes, at the 48th street Court. ARRESTED IN RAID. ESCAPED Joe Brown, who was some time ago arrested in a raid, was before Judge Bugee of the Wabash avenue Court, and fined $10, but later escaped before the fine was paid. He was captured and returned to that court before Judge Geo B. Holmes, who fined him $15 and costs. HOSPITALITY OF GUEST IS SPURNED BY WIFE Tuesday evening, Officer Gaskin was called upon to assist a lady in distress. He found that the lady had been thrust out of a house without being permitted to do coat and hat. The lady, Amanda Williams, was visiting the home of Dave Williams, and his wife was the kind hostess to her. With her was her pal, Jaine Brown. Miss Brown had ordered up the drinks and they had drank freely and paid liberally, the wife joining in all the time. Several pints were emptied in a short time. She testified that she paid 50c a half pint, and that when called upon, the wife seemed to have a "can" that never "ran dry" for she was able to fill all orders and there were many coming and going. . . . Husband Enters All went well until the husband entered. Mr. Williams was urged to come on and have a nice quiet drink with the others. He was about to decline the favor when Miss Williams reached over and took him by the arm and was trying to lead him over. The wife, Mrs. Brown, the hostess, reached back and delivered a very dangerous blow to her, which knocked her unconscious. She was told to leave her house and leave at once. Miss Williams asked for her hat and coat but was not permitted to get either and was thrust from the house. Mist Up Officer and Tells Story Miss Williams looked up an officer, and was successful in hailing Officer John Gaskin, to whom she told her story. He then went to the house and demanded that they let him in. The doors were locked and they were not in a very good way of permitting him to enter. When the door was opened, he procured the wraps, and then placed the husband under arrest. The wife had escaped. They were fined $5.00 each. ARESTED FOR TOO MUCH SPEED James Lambert was arrested by Officer B. L. Morgan for disobeying the traffic laws. He was going at a rate of 35 miles an hour at 25th and State Streets, about 2:45 in the afternoon. He was also very disorderly when asked to stop. He was fined $2 and costs. BRAGS OF OPERATING CON GAME Officer Williams arrested C. Pruett at 4666 State street in a pool room, for playing policy. Pruett confided to the officer that he was able to make from $50 to $100 a day on this game. All these allegations were denied by Pruett Wednesday morning before Judge Geo. B. Holmes. He was fined $25.00 and costs. FINDS PACKAGE OF SLIP5 AND NUMBERS USED IN CON GAME Ted Walker and John Williams were caught with the goods by Officer Gaskin Monday evening at a pool room at 36th and State streets. The officer took from their pockets a large package of the slips used in operating the game. They admitted that they were using these in their business. At first they refused to allow the officer to look at them but later decided it would do no good to disobey. Fook was fined $25 and costs HELD OVER TO GRAND JURY FOR THEFT OF RING Earl Baker was arrested at 3632 Indiana avenue Tusday evening for the theft of a diamond ring from Jane Jackson, who lives at the above address. Miss Jackson testified that she and Baker and her girl friend had just come from the beach. That she had the ring locked up all the time before and had just unlocked the box and no other person was in the room. The officer was called and Baker thoroughly searched. The ring was not found on him. Baker declares his innocence, and says he never saw the ring. Held Over to Grand Jury Baker was held over to the grand jury in bonds of $1,000. He was represented by Wm. Borton, who has offices at 4701 S. State street, and is making quite a success in the world as an industrious and able lawyer. Mr. Borton has made many friends and is highly esteemed by all. HELD ON CHARGE OF SPEEDING Wm. Edwards testified that Clyde Madelin was driving through the congested part of the city Tuesday evening at a rate of 20 miles. That many children were in that vicinity, 31st and State streets, as well as grown ups and that he was violating the speed laws, which were dangerous to any one passing the street. He was given a good lecture by the Judge at the Wabash Avenue Court, and fined $5 and costs. Wm. Moffett, an employee of the Atlantic Tea Co., was held under a charge of driving recklessly, at the rate of 35 or 40 miles an hour, in the vicinity of 36th and Dearborn streets. He was fined $50 and costs. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JULY 19. 1924 [Name] John Oliver, brought into court by H. D. Bryant for having collided with his machine and thereby sustaining much damage to it. He testified that he was driving about 10 A. M. on W. 33rd street and Bryant was driving on the South side; that he attempted to drive up and beat him to the crossing but failed and therefore the collision. He alleged that Bryant was negligent in that he was driving at a rapid rate of speed while he was going very slowly. The court decided that Bryant had the right of way, as he was coming south and that his careful driving did not give him the right to attempt to beat any one to a crossing.

JOYLAND Chicago's Wonder Amusement Park Rides, Shows, Games, Music, Dancing, Roller Skating Now Open for the Season Pep—Pleasure—Joy—Jazz—Fun—Frolic Bigger and Better Than Ever Admission 10 Cents 33rd Street and Wabash Avenue NEW JERSEY FARM ONCE KING'S HOME Joseph Bonaparte, Ex-Ruler of Spain, Refugee There. A few citizens of the United States at one time had the rare privilege of neighboring with a king, for Joseph Bonaparte, after wearing the crown of Spain and Naples, spent the remainer of his life as a country gentleman on his magnificent estate near Bordentown, N. J., writes Irene Cowan Tappert in Country Life. What a picturesque figure, this Frenchman, brother to the great Corsican, Napoleon! Once playing a leading part in a brilliant world drama, later we find him going about the commonplace duties of a landholder, clad in a favorite old tramping suit and a faded hat. Suave and courteous, he won universal respect and admiration. The idea of selecting New Jersey as a place of residence originally came from Napoleon while he was still emperor of France. On one occasion, in the presence of Joseph and several of his officers, he unrolled a map of the United States and indicated a spot half way between New York and Philadelphia, saying: "If I am ever forced to fly to America, I shall settle there—where I can receive the earliest intelligence from France by ships arriving at either port." Later, when preparing for his escape, Joseph sent a final message to his brother urging him to go in his stead and seek refuge in the quiet spot he had previously selected, which offer, as may be imagined, was immediately declined. Joseph's escape to America as narrated by his secretary, Mallird, in "Bonaparte's Park and the Murata," tells us that the vessel selected for the journey was a small, common-looking brig, the Commerce, weighing 200 tons, and loaded with a cargo of Bordeaux wines. A skillful captain, Messervey, a Swede, was in command of the Commerce. Three times the vessel was stopped on the high seas and searched by English frigates who were on the lookout for the dethroned emperor, but so carefully had the papers and the passports been prepared that even the captain did not know the identity of his distinguished passengers until after the vessel had landed. On the following day, in blazing headlines, Messervey read all about the voyage and the successful escape of a former crowned head of Europe. The city of Philadelphia became the first place of residence for Count de Survilliers, which was the former king's title in this country, and he first occupied a house on Ninth street, later renting one of the ten pretentious houses of the Girard trust fund in Girard row, located on Chestnut street below Twelfth. He lived in apparent comfort for the space of several years. Soon after his arrival in America Joseph had applied to the legislature of New Jersey for permission to hold real estate without becoming naturalized. Appreciating his peculiar position, the legislature, after due consideration, complied with his request. The count then purchased some land. His real estate consisted of ten farps on the banks of Crosswicks creek, extending up to the opposite village of Groverville, and a park of about 1,000 acres. This park, known as Bonaparte's park, was situated on an elevated plateau near Bordentown. 71 GERMAN FIRMS FAIL IN DAY; SETS NEW RECORD Berlin—The largest number of business failures for one day, seventy-one, sets a mark in German history.

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.

SOUTH STATE STREET English Writer Tells How to Preserve Garments. Good clothes need care. Many a man spends much money on his personal appearance, but is so untidy or so neglectful of the proper care of his clothes that very soon expensive suits become shabby. It is never a good policy to wear the same suit consistently through out the week—if it is brought into use alternately with another it will last as long again, for when "off duty" the wool has a chance to regain its vitality. The same idea is at the back of the theory that a man should have two sets of razors—when the one is resting the steel can recover its temper. If clothes are to be preserved they must be kept free of dust, says Fouth Hill Beckford in the London Mall, and this can only be done by a thorough bruing every time they are taken off. All pockets should be emptied, for, strange as it may seem, it is the little collection of grit and tobacco that not the fabric. Of course, the other great hole makers are moths and these must be avoided by the removal of all stains and spots of grease which attract them and encourage them to feed. Constant brushing and plenty of fresh air are the great enemies of moths and will put them to rout every time. Some people find difficulty in removing stains, and therefore, a few hints as to the proper antidotes may not come amiss. Perhaps the most common stain of all is that of ink. Here I would advise that the spot be soaked in strong salt water and rinsed in a solution of ammonia. The salt changes the nitrate of silver in the ink into chloride, and this is naturally dissolved by the ammonia. Ammonia will also remove indelible pencil, and, if followed by a wash of solution of soda, will also take out all grass stains. Oil and grease should be treated with benzine covered with Fuller's earth or powdered chalk and left in the sun for a few hours. For rust I recommend lemon juice and salt or oxalic acid. This last, however, requires great care, for if not properly used it injures the fabric. Tar should be softened with glycerin, anointed with benzine, and then washed in soda water and ammonia. As regards cleaning, the dry process is best, for water should not be used on woolens. Moreover, great attention must be paid to the pressing. If the iron is too hot all the life will be taken out of the fabric. It will not be necessary to press trousers with great vigor, if only they are given a little care and attention when they are removed from the body. They should be brushed and then bung on a trouser hanger, or, if this is not available, over a tall chair with the body toward the ground. **Introduction "Jammed"** Gregory Mason writes in the American Mercury: Every itinerant chautauqua spouter plays nightly for the decease of all committee chairmen and professional introducers. There are a few who know how to combine felicity with brevity, but they are as rare as Baptists who prefer Beethoven to Irving Berlin. Painfully common are such bunglers as the chautauqua superintendent who introduced me in place of Col. John Temple Graves. "Folks," he drawled, "we were to have heard the message tonight of Col. John Temple Graves, a man who, while a dwarf physically, is a giant intellectually. But there has been a last minute change and we are to have the pleasure of hearing Doctor Mason, a man who is a giant physically and. . . and. . . and." Some one tittered and I laughed The superintendent waved at me, muttered something incoherent, and fled. Rewriting the Bible The most wonderful manuscript Bible in the world is owned by a Mr. Russell of Montreal. With infinite patience he carried out this great work with his own hand. Mr. Russell, who is a Presbyterian, said that his main object in attempting such a task was to leave some unforgettable and tangible memorial of himself for his family. The work, which is wonderfully done in a style of half writing and half printing, was performed, at odd moments of spare time, and took 22 years to complete! The New Testament takes up 471 pages, with double columns on each page, and was written without a single error or omission. In all, there are 1,987 pages.
