CHILD'S CRIES SAVE 9 FROM ASPHYXIATION (Western News Service) Washington, D. C., April 15—Gasping cries of Edgar Kennedy, 4 years old, forestalled the peril of gas asphyxiation for nine occupants of the home of his father, James Kennedy, of 1616 Eighth street, early Thursday morning. Five occupants were affected by the gas and three were found in an unconscious condition when the father rose dazed and threw open windows after being awakened by the distressed gasps of the child. A leak in the gas pipe leading to a jet in the basement kitchen of the home is held responsible by the family. The father; Estella, his wife; Mrs. ```markdown ``` PETER H.

Cook County—(D) Indicates Deneen For it was on that day that United States Senator William B. Mckinley and his vast army of lying political managers, with several barrels of money, which seemingly was to be expended up and down in this state for the purpose of repaving his way back into the United States Senate, but the gods or the fates decreed otherwise and with all of his millions, which were blown in right and left to induce the hundreds of thousands of honest voters to march under his world court banner, he went down to a shameless and everlasting defeat, tumbling headlong into his timely political grave. On the other hand, Col. Frank L. Smith, who believes in "home rule," America first, last and all the time for Americans and no mixing up in the affairs of the countries of the Old World, marched on to a most wonderful victory, showing or proving far beyond a reasonable doubt that the American people will not desert brave men or generals like Col. Smith, who will stand up and very bravely fight their battles for them and that they, the American people, are good and ready to knock the heads off from all the would-be statesmen and unhorse all the United States Senators who vote and talk against pulling this, the greatest of all of the republics on the face of the broad, green earth, out of the league of nations and the world court. Here in the great city of Chicago the old Chicago Tribune and Col. Robert S. Abbott endeavored to stem the tide for Senator McKinley, through the columns of the old "Trib" and the greatest weekly newspaper in the world. On Sunday morning, April 11, the "Old Trib" contained a long edi- torial in favor of the renomination of Senator McKinley, urging all the voters throughout this state to vote in favor of his renomination for United States Senator from Illinois, that in every way Senator McKinley possessed more ability to serve the people in that capacity than Col. Smith, and there was not the slightest question about his renomination. Col. Abbott endeavored to outdo the "Old Trib" in his blind support of Senator McKinley and the issue of his greatest weekly newspaper in the world, Saturday, April 10, contained not one single word in its columns in reference to Col. Smith and Col. Abbott and the "Old Trib" marched on down to defeat with Senator McKinley. Now that the primaries are over Col. Abbott, no doubt will have the brass nerve and the black gall to claim that he highly deserves the credit for bringing about the nomination of Col. Smith for United States Senator from Illinois. As stated before that Col. Abbott turned over heaven and hades in his maddened effort to land Mr. McKinley back into the United States Senate but as he and the "Old Trib" were loudly barking up the wrong tree and that this newspaper and its editor were able to see much farther into the political future than a million of them linked together, that this newspaper is far more powerful than the combined or the united forces of the "Old Trib," and the greatest weekly newspaper in the world.

CAGO TUESDAY, APRIL 13, WAS RED HOT FROM BEGINNING TO THE END By Charles Stewart, Jr. Ce ee Ae PTI gn 13th, which was the birthday of Thomas Jefferson, the third president ‘of the United States, when national ‘and international propositions were being constructed in an endeavor to build a permanent relation in such a way that the United States Govern- ment would in no way become in- volved in such international measure as would cause war. The World Court was endorsed in the Republican and Democratic Na- tional Conventions backed by the strongest men of both parties and at the polls by seven million voters, but after continuous debate the minority in the Senate figured that their inter- national observation in some instances from travel and personal investigations proved to them that the World Court was a side entrance to the League of Nations. Yet, senators of both parties felt that the people had instructed them by their vote to pass the act entering the World’s Court with such reserva- tions as would protect the people of this country. The Court entry was passed the Senate by a vote of 77 to 17. The newspapers of the country began a daily slogan, “You got us into the World Court now take us out.” Senators who were. candidates for re-election in both parties plead that they were only obeying the mandates handed them by the party platform, yet the anti-war ery did each day strive to pick out by means of news articles and editorials the dangers of becoming a part of the World Court. Personal appeals to the senators irom the President of the United ‘States pointed out their duties to party platform. = Senator William B. McKinley 0} Illinois was the first senator to face his constituency and meet the change 6i mind. When he discovered the condi- tion he appealed to President Cootidge and the Republican Senatorial Com- mittee-to save him from volcanic de- struction and the President stood as cold and as still as the marble of Ver- mont. Secretaries Hoover and. Davis came into our state and also Senator Peppers of Pennsylvania to speak on National issues, but at no time did they raise their voice to szy one word that the President had spoken in favor of Senator McKinley, thus he faced the issue alone, and met his defeat by over a hundred thousand votes. This is a lesson that brings about a new international problem that plainly shows that the west’ is against the policy of the Coolidge administration on the World’s Court and the Farm- ing Law. Yet, Senator McKinley added thousands of votes to his col- umn of defeat by attempting to fool the two hundred and seventy-five thou- sand Negro voters by introducing at the ninety-nineth hour the Anti- Lynching Bill. This was the stroke that sealed his doom. Col. Frank L. Smith defeated Sen- ator William B. McKinley with such a tremendous majority that it calls the attention of the world to the vote in Illinois on the 13th. Colonel Smith hhas been a life long Republican, is courageous, and will continue to battle for a better opportunity for the West- ern farmer in the development of prod- ets and waterways. He is close to the common people of Illinois and they will find in the future that they have done honor to themselves and the na- tion by electing Col. Frank L, Smith to the Senate of the United States next ‘November. The local candidates supported by The Broad Ax in the main were en- dorsed by the people and as time goes on toward the election day it shall be the policy of The Broad Ax to advance their cause in the clearest way possible. In some instances it is to be re- gretted that we thought more abler men should have received the endorse- ment of the people but since the voters hhave shown by their ballot a different ‘opinion we accept their verdict in these RELATIVES IMPROVING Mrs. Lucille G.

THE UNITED CHARITIES OF CHICAGO ARE PUTTING ON A SPECIAL DRIVE TO RAISE $300,000 FOR WORTHY CHARI- TIES “A tremendous amount of work has been done and is being done by the United Charities in helping colored people to adjust themselves to the new economic conditions they met in Chi- cago after the migration from the south,” said George R. Arthur, secre- tary of the Wabash Avenue Y. M. C, A. and chairman of the inter-racial advisory committee of the stockyards district of the United Charities. “For this reason the drive for an emergency fund of $300,000 now un- der way should receive the whole- hearted support of the city’s colored people.” Among those who are actively en- gaged in soliciting funds in the drive are Mrs. Emma J. Andrews, 4433 Dearborn street, Miss Fannie Bowers, 420 Bowne avenue, Miss Mamie E. Brown, 5310 Michigan avenue, E. L. Davis, 3410 Indiana avenue, Mrs. N. A.

Whitaker, 3640 Vernon avenue. ‘Aside from individual contributions, the United Charities is asking endorse- ment of organizations and as a re- sult practically all the largest colored churches in the city have promised contributions from their yearly bud- gets, amounts depending upon action to be taken later by the boards of di- rectors. Further, many women’s clubs have made organization contributions in addition to sums given by individual members. : “Out of 4,202 families that received ‘major services’ from the United Char- ities during the past year,” said Mr. Arthur, whose work on the inter-racial committee destitute folk, “935 were colored. In the stockyards district alone there were 233 families. ‘Major services’ mean that help is given over a long period of time. Many thousands more have received temporary aid. “The migration from the south came upon us suddenly and unexpectedly and thousands of men, formerly en- gaged in agricultural pursuits, found themselves in the city untrained for the work by which they could support their families, Many were unable to find even the most menial labor and, although honest and industrious, faced dependency. “But the United Charities stepped in and is aiding thousands to maintain their economic independence, encour- aging them to learn new and more remunerative trades, helpirg them to find better homes in which to live and teaching them about sanitation and healthful foods. In helping people to ie themselves, the United Charities is rendering a service of inestimable value to our race.” . INDIANAPOLIS N. A. A. C.F RAISING $5,000 TO FIGHT SEGREGATION William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People, has re- ceived a report indicating that the citizens of Indianapolis are thoroughly aroused and intend to fight to the limit against the segregation ordinance re- cently passed by the City Council and signed by the Mayor in violation of the Supreme Court's decision in the Louis- ville Segregation Case. A letter from the Indianapolis Branch, through Mrs. C. I. Taylor, its president, states that $2,210 in cash has already been raised toward the $5,000 which is to be used in fighting the segregation ordinance in the courts. “We have had five mass meetings in different parts of the city,” says Mrs, Taylor's letter, “which attracted large and enthusiastic crowds and the finan- cial response has been very gratifying. Churches, clubs, lodges and all: indus- tries where large numbers of colored ‘people are employed are united in the fight and ‘the citizens are realizing the ‘seriousness of the’ situation, which should be the beginning of an awaken- ing of interest in the things~that the Association offers. We have proven that only through the N. A. A.C. P. can citizenship rights be protected and we believe from now on the Branch will thrive.” WHO'S WHO IN THE N. A. A.

Reports sent by Mr. Edwards indi- cate that the occasion of the killing was a dispute over pay for work the young colored boy had done. The boy, it was testified, had carried in a Toad of wood for Banks.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, APRIL 17, 1926 MASSACHUSETTS MAYORS NIP MOVIE SEGREGATION Boston, Mass. — The chief magistrates of both Boston and Cambridge have acted promptly and vigorously against the ever-oncreeping color segregation abomination in the theatres within the last fortnight. In both instances the complaint was the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League, Rev. E. E. Thompson, president, in behalf of race citizens who would not tamely submit to the indignity. President-Thompson secured an audience with Mayor Edward Quinn of Cambridge on complaint of Miss Georgie Harris and Miss Yvonne Gorde, whom he had present at the city hall, together with Rev. W. D. McClane and W. M. Trotter of the local league's executive committee. The manager of the Plasky-Players Movie theater declined the mayor's invitation over the telephone to appear and had several alibis. The complainants stood firm and Mayor Quinn told the manager there would be "no segregation or no license." John Allen Sanders, graduate of the Northeastern University School of Business Administration in Boston, declaring he had been ordered to the first balcony on his orchestra ticket by usher and head usher of the Keith-Albee Movie theater, on Huntington avenue, accompanied President Thompson of the local league twice to the city hall, the second time for an audience with the city theater censor, by direction of Mayor Malcolm E. Nichols. Cyril F. Butler, Esq., and W. M. Trotter of the local executive committee and the theater manager were also present. The latter disavowed the action of the subalterns as contrary to his practice and policy, apologized to Mr. Sanders and assured the league of his stand for equality. INTERCOLLEGIATES DEBATES April 10, 1926 The debates for 1926 of the Quadrangular Debating League composed of Morehouse College, Talladega College, Fisk University, and Knoxville College were held April 9 at each of the institutions named. The question was "Resolved, That absolute independence should be granted to the Philippines." A Knoxville College team debated against Fisk University at Knoxville, the home team for the affirmative consisting of Raymond Fowkles, '28 and Alonzo Gaither, '27, the Fisk team of Wm. F. McKinney, '28, and George W. Streator, '26. The affirmative emphasized the ethical and natural right to self-determination, and the pledges of the United States, now due to be fulfilled. The negative upheld the rights of the United States, and argued the international and economic danger that would result to the Filipinos while yet unprepared for independence. The unanimous vote of the judges was for the Affirmative. The visiting team from Knoxville College, composed of Joseph Edwards, '26, and Noah Mann, '27, upheld the Negative the same evening at Talladega College, and won largely by more skillful rebuttal work, by two judges to one. The exceptional record made by teams from Knoxville College in debate during recent years was thus maintained, as seven out of the eight debates in which her teams have been engaged in the last four years were won by them, the teams representing Knoxville College.

Thomas, Chief Justice C. T. Marshall of the Ohio Supreme Court, and Harry S.

Y., April 16.—Mrs. Annette Robinson rested comfortably in Holy Family Hospital, Dean street, Brooklyn, Thursday, with a pint of a white man's blood in her veins. She lived probably only because Harry Hughes, an ambulance driver, volunteered for a transfusion after some of her friends had refused. Mrs. Annette Robinson, age 38, was taken to the hospital Tuesday bleeding from her ears, mouth, nostrils and internally. Her blood would not coagulate. Relatives and friends were informed that an immediate blood transfusion was necessary. Volunteers among the hospital staff were asked for. Several came forward. Among them was Harry Hughes, who is an ambulance driver, is accustomed to assisting in saving lives of persons without inquiring what is their station in life or their color. His blood was found to be best constituted to succor Mrs. Robinson. Another driver went to relieve him and he was rushed to the women's ward. Drs. Joseph Lionello and Anthony Pirondino, assisted by Dr. Bernard Bottlieb, performed the operation. They said later they could recall no previous instance of such a blood transfusion. It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon when Hughes was wheeled from the women's ward. Shortly afterward he walked out of the hospital and Mrs. Robinson was declared out of danger. After dinner Hughes again took the wheel of his ambulance. CINCINNATI OFFICIALS DE CLARE STRUCTURES UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION Cincinnati, Ohio, April 16.—The city's clean-up campaign against unsanitary and defective housing conditions took a drastic turn Wednesday. Charles Sagmeister, chief housing inspector, condemned fourteen buildings and ordered their tenants to vacate. Nine of the condemned buildings are on Webb street. Four of them are on West Court street and another in Walnut Hills, at 1815 Wehrmann avenue. The inspector held that the buildings were unfit for human habitation. He also issued abatement notices ordering repair and cleansing of the following buildings: The buildings are at 1017 and 1019 Central avenue, 604 and 610 Smith street, 515 George street, 630 West Fourth street, 701 West Sixth street, 811 West Fifth street, 311, 313 and 315 Smith street; 837, 829 and 831 Carlisle avenue. SAYS HAITI WOULD WELCOME NEGRO AS U. S. MINISTER New York.—Before his departure for Haiti, Perceval Thoby, former charge d'affaires of the Haitian Legation in Washington, and now representative of the Patriotic Union of Haiti, requested that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issue for him a public denial of the report that Haitian citizens would oppose the appointment of a colored man as U. S. Minister to Haiti. "The statement has been made and spread that Haitians would not welcome a colored man as the representative of the United States in Haiti," said Mr. Thoby. "This is of course absurd. There have been several colored ministers from the United States to Haiti and they have been received with utmost cordiality. Moreover, when American colored people have emigrated to Haiti, they have found the consideration and the courtesy which was their due, and they and their descendants are among the most respected citizens of the country. Haiti would be glad to welcome, as she has done in the past, a colored U. S. Minister." YOUNG WHITE RUFFIANS HELD FOR ATTACKING AGED NEGROES (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., April 15.—Three men, arrested in connection with an attack on two Negroes at Forbes and Halket streets early Thursday, were held for further hearings in Oakland Police Court, Thursday, on suspicious persons charges. They are Michael Malloy, aged 26; Charles O'Hara, aged 26, and John Ridge, aged 24. They are accused of beating Adam Terrell, aged 58, and Samuel Minto, aged 70; Negroes. Police say the victims identified the suspects. HENDERSON RACE PEOPLE LEFT LARGE ESTATE Melissa Townes, It Develops, Worth Many Thousands (Preston News Service) Henderson, N. C., April 16.—A large estate belonging to Melissa Townes, of this city, who died about a year ago, and amounting to $31,916.42, was brought to light in an action of the city council at its regular meeting last Monday night, in which steps were taken to list and collect taxes upon the unlisted property of the dead woman for the years 1921 to 1925, both inclusive. Tax officials of Vance county are also moving to levy upon the property, most of which never was upon the tax books. It was estimated at the meeting last Monday night that the city would realize approximately $1,500 out of the collections, and the county will get more than that, if it presses its case. The estate came to light in the filing of a statement with the clerk of the court by the administrator, in which was listed $25,666.46 on deposit in cash in the Mechanics and Farmers Bank of Durham, a Negro bank; $1,899.96 cash in the Citizen's Bank and Trust Company of Henderson; and houses and vacant lots in and near Henderson valued at $4,350. GARVEY SHIP GOES UNDER THE HAMMER Once Pride of U. N. I. A. Is Sold to Meet Debts; Was Bought for $100,000 and Sold for $25,000 New York City—Another chapter in the history of one of the outstanding Negro movements that has taken place in this country in the last decade was closed here last week, when the pride of the United Negro Improvement Association—of which Marcus Garvey, renowned leader, is the organizer and head—the Steamship Booker T. Washington, was sold at auction. The liner was sold to cover debts contracted by the Black Cross Navigation Company. The ship, which cost $100,000, and on which nearly $50,000 was spent for improvements and repairs, was sold to Winthrop Waithe for $25,000. Waithe, an insurance agent, held a $10,000 mortgage on the ship. It was stated that only a short time before the auctioning of the liner, its owners refused an offer of $60,000 for it. MRS. L. B.

Steele, gave an excellent program on April 3rd in observance of its fifth anniversary. The children were at their best and a pleasant evening was spent. Chinese Division of Time China clings to its ancient method of dividing up the day, which differs from our western way. Instead of reckoning 24 hours to the day, the Chinese divide it into 12 parts, each of 2 hours. City Sacred to Mahomet Medina, in the Arabian desert, is famous for the tomb of Mahomet. It is situated in a large mosque lighted by rich lamps. Medina was called the City of the Prophet, because here Mahomet was protected when he fled from Mecca on July 15, 622. Four-Dollar Gold Pieces the stella, or four-dollar gold piece, was minted by the United States only in 1879 and 1880, and these pieces now command premiums of from $60 to several hundred.

Opium Long in Use Opium is obtained from the juice of the white poppy. It was known to the ancients, for its cultivation is mentioned by the famous poet Homer, who wrote of the siege of Troy, and the medicinal use of the juice of this poppy is described by the ancient Greek writer, Hippocrates.

Ancient English City The site of the present city of Manchester, in Lancashire, England, was in the time of the Drulds one of their principal stations, and had the privilege of sanctuary attached to it. In Roman times it was a military post and called by the Romans Mangunium, hence its Saxon name, Mancastec, from which its modern name is derived. True Courage More and more we come to see that courage is a positive thing. It is not simply the absence of fear. To be brave is not merely not to be afraid. Courage is that compactness and clear coherence of all a man's faculties and powers which makes his manhood a single operative unit in the world.—Philips Brooks. Eyebrows Have Value Eyebrows protect the tissue above the eyes and have a great cosmetic value in being an agent for softening hard facial features and by contrast enhancing the beauty of the skin. Eyebrows are said to create a proportionate cosmetic value for the nose, brows and forehead and accentuate the contour of the face. Egyptian Mummy Cases Two cases were used by the ancient Egyptians for each mummy and these were usually made of cedar. They were made to fit the shrouded corpse. The inner one was usually plain, while the outer one was covered with paintings and hieroglyphics recounting the life and deeds of the dead. First in Silk When you admire a piece of silk tapestry or silk damask adorning a piece of American-made furniture it is interesting to know that America ranks first among all the countries manufacturing silks, with France second in production. Giant Among Birds The ostrich is the largest of living birds, an adult male standing nearly 8 feet high and weighing about 300 pounds. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, APRIL 17, 1926 Proposed New Languages Ido and Esperanto are artificial languages, of which it may be said that the vocabulary of Ido is made up by adopting as root words that form of word most readily recognizable by the greatest number of Europeans and not merely by empirical selections, as In Esperanto. It is claimed that Ido is the simplier of the two and that it can practically be read at sight by any educated European. Hogarth an Ad Writer Gothar, the famous British artist and caricaturist, was at one time an advertisement writer. Before the days of newspapers the enterprising. shop keepers used hand dodgers or tradesman's cards which bore the name of the shop keeper and carried wording or pictures to describe his business. A collection of these old tradesman's cards have been found to have been drawn by Gothar. No Substitute for Rubber Chemists have been working for some time to produce a synthetic rubber, but it is safe to say that nothing has as yet been produced from any source whatever which is of commercial value in replacing crude rubber, nor do the best informed minds on this subject believe that the production of a synthetic rubber in commercial quantities is even in sight. Help Prosperity Along Springs may bubble over but buckets have to be filled. As much water can be taken from a bucket as is put into it. Likewise prosperity has to be created before men can become prosperous. He who refuses to help create prosperity deserves none.—Grit. Wisdom's Thorny Path There is no short cut, no patent tranway to wisdom. After all the centuries of invention the soul's path lies through the thorny wilderness which must still be trodden in solitude, with bleeding feet and sobs for help as it was trodden by them of old-time—George Elliot. Wasted Effort "He had the wrong viewpoint." "How was that?" "He was looking through the keyhole and the blind was up all the time."—Gettysburg Cannon Bwl. Fair Warning Mistress—Oh. I just rang to tell you, Mary, that if I catch my husband kissing you again, one of you will have to go!—London Opinion. Treating Cracked China If boiled for about 45 minutes in enough sweet milk to cover it, the cracks in a glass dish will glue together and become invisible and the dish will stand almost as much ordinary usage as before.
