Court Will Not Be Truly Representative Until Afro-American Is Represented—Mr. Tyrrell Speaks of the Unsuccessful Attempt to Place a Member of the Race There. W. C. Graves, the new superintendent at the Pontiac reformatory, has adopted a new plan in dealing with the prisoners. The inmates have been placed on the honor system. Baseball has taken the place of the usual afternoon siestas in the cells, and even the worst of the prisoners are allowed to leave the premises on their word of honor that they will return. Recently James Smith, an Afro-American youth, returned to the reformatory only a few weeks before for breaking his parole, asked to be allowed to attend his grandmother's funeral. Mr. Graves asked his promise to return, then gave him the money to come to Chicago. The boy came alone and returned alone. He kept his promise. Appeal to Baseball Teams for Bats and Balls, Being Unable to Purchase the Necessary Paraphernalia to Play Game During Recreation. The Chicago Defender deplores any act that causes any man, woman or child that results in their incarceration in any prison or reformatory institution. But as such institutions are a part of life, it bespeaks for the unfortunates every consideration. At the state penitentiary at Sollet the prisoners are allowed to play baseball, and as most of them are poor they ask for aid to participate in this sport. This week's mail brings the following letter from Reg. 2743: Court Could Be Representative. "The assistance of the Governor in the appointment was in the fact that Mr. Jarecki was a typical representative of a large number of Polish citizens who lived in Chicago and were served by the court. This was a great aid in making the court truly representative, but a greater and more complete service would be rendered the Chief Justice and the court made truly typical of that type of citizen served by it when I or one of my race shall call the bench and bar together to witness the inauguration or installation of a member of my race that has done so much for Chicago and the country in making it a place where all men are treated fair and impartial, and that the profession of friendship for the race as voiced by Mr. Tyrrell and other speakers will be regarded as so much pleasant until special productions give way for brining child that tion in an situation. a part of unfortunate the state prisoners ball, and they ask this sport the follow From I Sir: I will help here in the We have a Sunday, to much more cure the you would of the team think that of the Sir:—I am writing to ask if you will help the Afro-American boys in here in the Jollet state penitentiary. We have ball games every day except Sunday, but as a class we haven't much money and therefore cannot secure the things that we need, and if you would ask some of the managers of the teams in and around Chicago I think that they would donate some of the old balls, bats, gloves and masks—things that the boys could use and would appreciate and be thankful for. This is all. Hoping to hear from you soon. With respect. The name of Reg. 2743 is on file at this office, if anyone desires to know it. Those caring to contribute the articles asked for can send them direct to the warden, with the understanding that they be distributed among all the races. Reg. No. 2743 happens to be an Afro-American, but The Defender wants every race to enjoy the benefit. VOL. IX., NO. 20. Last Saturday in Chief Justice Olson's chambers of the Municipal Court the bench and bar held an installation and inducted into office, as it were, Mr. E. K. Jarecki, a Polish lawyer, appointed recently by Judge Edw. F. Dunne as the successor to Judge Frederick I. Fake, resigned. The occasion was one upon which it is customary for the bench and bar to eulogize the merits of the person being inducted into office. Chief Justice Olson led off with the purposes of the Municipal Court. He was followed by other members of the bench, including Judges Pam and Goodwin and others of the Circuit and Superior courts, and then, the bench having concluded, the bar had its inning. Several enlistment members of the bar spoke of Mr. Jarecki and his qualifications to serve upon the bench as judge. Mr. Tyrrell Speaks of Afro-American. It was left, however, to Mr. Tyrrell to refer to the members of the Afro-American race that were present and who had been unsuccessful in the past in placing a member of their race upon the bench. At this juncture the Hon. Beauregard F. Moseley entered the courtroom and was at once recognized by Chief Justice Olson, who called upon Mr. Moseley to respond to the installation and elevation of Mr. Jarecki to the bench. Mr. Moseley said, among other things, that it was a pleasure as well as a surprise to be called upon by the Chief Justice to respond to a sentiment, elevating and promoting one from the ranks of the bar to the heights of a seat upon the judiciary, but inasmuch as he was accustomed to surprises he would endeavor to make good. That the pleasure of this surprise was in the fact that the Chief Justice had endeavored to make the Municipal Court representative of the people it served, or, in other words, the people's tribune. In this Governor Dunne has aided in the appointment of Mr. Jarecki, a citizen of Polish descent, qualified in every respect to fulfill the duties of judge. racial prejudice gives way for brains and fitness. When that is done, Mr. Jarecki and myself and perhaps the rest of the gentlemen will feel proud to assemble at the Installation, and if I am the subject of consideration none of you shall be fined for contempt for applauding, for you will have done much to cause applause by the American people who believe in justice and fair play and the recognition of merit and ability," said Mr. Moseley. There were several members of the race present, including several lawyers. All witnessed the spontaneous applause given Mr. Moseley by bench and bar. Chief Justice Olson said in speaking of the affair afterwards "that the Afro-Americans as well as the Poles deserve a representative upon the bench and that Mr. Moseley would make an ideal judge."

Addresses the Entire Student Body on "The Life of a Dollar Bill." Special to The Chicago Defender. Tuskegee Institute, May 15—Hon. J. C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn., former Register of the United States Treasury and guiding spirit of the One Cent Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn., delivered the closing series of business lectures to the students of Tuskegee Institute last week. Mr. Napier was kept busy here. He spoke to the entire student body in the institute chapel on Tuesday evening, taking the students, as it were, on a trip to Washington and through the various divisions of the great Treasury Department, explaining to them "The Life of a Dollar Bill." On Wednesday evening he spoke to the young men' and young women of the three upper classes upon the general subject of banks and banking. Many valuable suggestions were put before the students by Mr. Napier. It is altogether probable that these suggestions, as well as the many other ones which have been put before the students of Tuskegee Institute by successful business men during the year, will bear fruit in the lives of the young people who have listened to them. WHITE MAN TAKEN FOR AFRO-AMERICAN; SHOT BY MOB Blood-Thirsty Band in Louisiana Hunting Alleged Slayer of Deputy Sheriff, Shoot an Innocent White Man — Hunted Man Brought to Bay Sells Life Dearly. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) St. James, La., May 15—Friday Sylvester Washington was shot to death for the alleged slaying of Deputy Sheriff P. C. Simon, but before he died riddled by a hundred bullets he gave a good account of himself, wounding four of his pursuers. One, Charles Bahn, wounded in the abdomen, died shortly afterward. The killing of Washington came after a hunt of twenty-four hours in which the blood-thirsty mob mistook a white man for him, shot and severely wounded him. The mob cornered Washington in the afternoon. They found him in a sugar shed and set it on fire. He hurled himself from the doorway, firing desperately as he did so. John C. Mellist was wounded fatally and a Mr. Hardring was shot in the calf of the leg, the bullet penetrating the limb and killing Harding's horse, while another bullet grazed the head of a fourth white man. J. J. CARROLL SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM POLK ST. STATION. J. J. Carroll, stationmaster at the Dearborn street station, has for the 46th time "got in bad" with a railroad porter. He struck Edward Joseph, 5324 Dearborn street, after telling him to move from the quarters assigned Pullman porters and called a policeman to put him out. The porter was assaulted while covered by the policeman's weapon. Mr. Joseph had the stationmaster arrested and the case came up Tuesday for the last time, but Mr. Joseph's chief witness, another porter, was out on a run. The case was dismissed. Attorney W. G. Anderson was the attorney and civil suit will be pushed. Carroll has had many altercations with railroad porters at the station. He seems to be one of those "red necks" who wishes to kick and cuff a porter around like he is a dog. Some day soon he will get his match and then no political influence can reach him out of his trouble. This is not the first time that The Chicago Defender has investigated the ill-treatment of Carroll against porters, and it is not through with him by any means. F. A. RAWLINS TAKEN SUDDENLY ILL Well Known Undertaker and Secret Society Man Seriously Sick, But Physician Hag Hone. Mr. F. A.

Special to The Chicago Defender. Memphis, Tenn., May 15.—The Southern Sociological Congress which met in this city last week—the one body that should be exempt—split up over the race question. The local committee agreed that if Afro-Americans were permitted to use a certain section of the floor, only delegates would be allowed to occupy seats. This agreement, they assert, was disregarded and Afro-Americans were given seats generally. Friday night, when a joint session was held with the National Conference of Charities and Corrections, scores of white delegates could not obtain seats, they declare, hence the dissatisfaction. As a result the closing session Saturday night was held at the First Methodist Church, instead of at the theater formerly used. KICKED OUT FOR WHITES; DOCILE WAITERS RETURN Afro-American Waiters Return to Hotel Spalding in Duluth, Minn., Without Protest After Being Put Out in the Dead of Winter—Are These the Boosted Men of Today? A Special news item to the Chicago Defender from Duluth, Minn., reads as follows: "The reinstatement of Colored waiter service in the Hotel Spalding, under the direction of William Dawson, has found renewed favor with Duluthians, and travelers. After a several months' experiment with white waiters, the hotel management discontinued this service and a return to the old order has been found more satisfactory. As head of the dining service, Mr. Dawson has placed the Spalding in a parity with that of the leading hotels of America." Be Able to Snap Your Fingers. The correspondent fails to state that these Afro-American waiters were kicked out without notice for no other cause than their color. This is another incident wherein the race was found wanting. When the Hotel Spalding wanted them again they should have been in a position to snap their fingers in the face of the management and, told him to look elsewhere. The time has certainly come when waiters and other workers should get together and be independent. They should make preparations for such cases as this and then when they are kicked out, simply because they were black, they should never return. It is a hard matter to say hard things to a man out of a job, but this habit of being found waiting on the doorstep, as it were, and returning with lamb-like docility, is not manly nor in keeping with the spirit of the times. The time has come when white and black laborers must stop making fools of themselves and get together like men. The waiters, white and black, can work together in the hotels just the same, as they can in the post office and counting houses. If Chicago, the only place that they can not stand side by side is in the county jail and the' church, and the state stands for it. You, as men, should stand together and quit being like kids, walt HOME EDITION REST Uplift Worker Club Woman Imed by Death Woman Dies May 9th—Prominent as Pro- member of Many Societies, and Secretary ships Settlement—Always Engaged in Up- D RECALL, MANY MOURN.

B. Smith, one of the oldest and most respected families on the West Side, who was taken away from her earthly activities May 9th, 1914, in the full vigor and ripened maturity of her powers, in the zenith of her successful career and well earned fame, secure in the love and confidence of the whole community, buoyant with bright anticipation of domestic happiness and a long public career of usefulness and honorable achievements. She was a product of our Chicago schools, both grammar and high, and was actively engaged in all lines of work whose object was to uplift and advance the progress of the race. Her activity in the Wendell Phillips Settlement on the West Side won for her the confidence and affection of those for whom her great love and sympathy ran out towards, and the sturdy support of those who co-operated with her to a degree rarely equaled among settlement workers and public officials. She was known as a kindly generous neighbor, brave and fearless woman in the prosecution of her work. She was elected secretary of the Wendell Phillips Settlement and also a charter member of the Household of Ruth No. 1086, G. U. O. of O. F., and served as Recorder for a period of seventeen years, also a grand officer of the Eden District No. 38 of the Grand Household of Ruth, a member of the Princess Bernice Chapter. No. 34, of the Eastern Star. She was a charter member of the Quiet Workers' Circle of the King's Daughters, and a member of the Cook County Probation Officers' Association. She was appointed among the first twenty-six from the eligible list of the first examination held under the Cook County Civil Service law for probation officers of the Juvenile Court nine years ago and remained in the service up to her death. The funeral services were held at the Original Providence Baptist Church, Tuesday, May the 11th. Dr. Francis, pastor of the church, and Rev. A. L. Harris, E. T. Martin and R. E. Wilson, and Dean Walter Sumner conducted the services in the presence of over a thousand sympathizing citizens. Out of respect to her worth representatives of the Juvenile Court and the Cook County Probation Officers' Association attended the services in a body. A father, mother and a brother and three uncles and aunts, together with a host of other relatives and friends, mourn her departure. All that was mortal was conveyed to Oakridge Cemetery by Mr. George L. Venle, funeral director, for interment.

PAGE TWO LOUISVILLE TO SEGREGATE AFRO-AMERICANS Race Prejudice Enacted Into Law —Narrow-Minded and Little- Souled White Men Carry the Day—Louisville a Metropolis— Does What Augusta, Ga., a Southern Town, Refuses to Do. CLASS LEGISLATION PURE AND SIMPLE Jealousy and Envy Cause of Action— Fifty Intelligent and Prosperous Men of the Race Take Part In Public Hearing Before Council Committee—"Property Depreciation (?)" Only Claim of Their Opponents. (Special to The (Chicago Defender.) Louisville, Ky., May 15.—Although the Afro-American is advised to buy property, when he does so envious whites kick and segregate him. Louisville is the latest to enact such a law. It is host told in the language of the Louisville News under date of May 9th. The News says: "Louisville, heretofore thought to be a metropolitan and cosmopolitan city, has at last proven to be an overgrown bourbon community in which the white people with a majority of four to one and with the whole law-making machinery in their hands have stooped to enact into law a measure filled with littleness and narrow-minded prejudice against a weak and helpless race. Segregation, class legislation, pure and simple, unjust and damnable—now adorns the statute books of the city and put there by the great White Man because in his heart of hearts he is jealous and envious of his Black Fellow-citizen's progress. Depreciation of property values! Bah! The reason segregation has become a law is because narrow-minded and little-souled white men were enraged because black men have emerged from the filth and dirt of back highways and have moved into handsome homes and have taken on the appearances of prosperity. Poor Whites Goaded to Desperation For whites cooled to suspicion Colored men and women flitting here and there in automobiles and carriages, handsomely gowned women and well dressed men alighting therefrom in attendance at their own social functions, entering well built and modern homes—their own—this is what has goaded the poor white man to desperation and in his envious, jealous heart this law was conceived and executed. Say what they will, that is the whole case in a nutshell, the little white man's jealousy and envy of his black neighbor! So with his majority and power he has sought to humiliate him and "teach the Negro his place." At the public hearing before the Council Committee a month ago there were a hundred men present. Fifty intelligent and many very prosperous colored men and fifty white strainers, the bulk of whose wealth would not have approached that of their colored neighbors. The colored men made reasonable appeals to any broad-gauged man's sense of justice and fair play. They showed the preposterousness of the only claim of their opponents—"properly depreciation." They answered every argument intelligently and any man not overbalanced with prejudice would have seen the justice of their appeals. The white men answered—not a full-fledged white man among them—and in every word they said and every sentence they expressed it could be seen that foolishy and envy were the causes of their stand. Race Can Not Be Retarded. Dig white people, broad-minded white people, whether rich or poor in worldly goods, do not care, but are rather proud about the progress of their colored neighbors, but narrow-minded, little-souled white folks go wild when they see a black man living well and looking prosperous, and was the narrow-minded and little-souled white people who fathered this bill and passed it. But if they think they have retarded the black man they are wrong. Might does not make right and only right can prevail. The black man is coming—it is written in the stars. Nor can unjust laws, proscription, discrimination, segregation and all the powers of hell keep him back. WABASH AVENUE STARS WIN. Dr. Plummer and the Junior Doctors lost, Sunday, to James Crook with the Wabash Ave. Stars. The score was 4 to 1. Features of the game were the pitching of Jackson for the Doctors and Cheatam for the Stars. Several times both sides had men on third and second when it only took a scratch hit to score, both pitchers would tighten up and retire the sides. The Junior Doctors would like to meet the Emergencies on Decoration Day, if their manager, Mr. Julus Avendon, has that date open.

The refreshments served were in keeping with the rare hospitality the hostess afforded her guests. Those present were Mesdames Wiley, Watson, Jessie Buford, Moses Milan, Leor Gore, Bertha Young and Mrs. Lee and Chavis. * * * What's the matter with the Literary Club?

It costs nothing to be something, but it costs you something to be nothing. --- Weekly parties at different homes have opened earlier this year than usual and are adding much interest. The younger set is entertaining as much as the elder. Mr. and Mrs. John Hutt.inson entertained a host of friends at their beautiful home last Thursday, May 7.

Mr. Joe Jesup was master of ceremonies at the opening and each person made a few remarks which were very appropriate and highly appreciated. Mr. Jesup deserves much credit for the manner in which he conducted the program. He was the right man for that place. GUN "TOTERS" AND AND ARMED BUL- LIES TO GO City Council Passes Ordinance Regulating the Sale of Revolvers—Must Have Permit from Chief of Police to Make Purchase—Heavy Fines for Dealers Who Disobey Laws. The hot-headed citizen with his handy gun and the armed bully whose only object is to rob you and kill you if you resist are to be curbed. That is, the City Council has decreed that hereafter it will be no easy matter to purchase a deadly weapon. The Council took this action Monday night. Two ordinances restricting the sale of revolvers and other concealable weapons and forbidding the display of pistols in shop windows were passed under suspension of the rules. Three Obstacles to Overcome. Under one ordinance three obstacles must be overcome by the person purchasing a revolver. First, he must obtain the signatures of two taxpayers to an application for a permit to buy a weapon; next, he must obtain a permit from the chief of police; then he must pay a fee of $1 to the city. The seller must have a $25 license, and if he sells a weapon to any person who has no police permit he may be fined from $50 to $200 upon conviction. Cannot Display Weapons. The ordinance forbidding the display of revolvers for sale specifies that firearms shall not be shown in windows where they may be seen from the street. A fine of $25 to $200 is fixed as the penalty. The Council passed the ordinances after an hour's discussion. Aldermen told of the reign of terror in many parts of the city following raids by gunmen, and pointed the need for the ordinances.

Students to Travel from Hampton Roads to Bar Harbor, Giving Music and Folklore, Tribal Dances and Ceremonial Chants to Help School. By a Staff Correspondent. Hampton Institute, Va., May 15. For a hundred days in ten states a score of Afro-American boys and Indians from Hampton Institute will hold pageants through the summer of 1914. Upon the little eighty-foot schooner "Hampton" the chorus will make the long voyage from Hampton Roads, Virginia, to Bar Harbor, Malne, striving to aid their school by giving the best of race music and folklore and the vividly beautiful tribal dances and ceremonial chants of the Indians. To be crew, cast and chorus; to act, to sing, to march, to sleep in the crowded forecastle afoil; to make camp ashore; to give the best of their people's songs and customs to strangers; to try to gain new scholarships for new boys at Hampton—this is the gift of these Afro-American and Indian students to their school. Into the Berkshire Hills The camp of brown khaki tents which stood upon the lawns of Newport, Bar Harbor and the North Shore two summers ago will be carried ashore from the schooner "Hampton" for campaigns into the White Mountains, the Adirondacks and the Berkshire Hills. The Hampton school has become not only a model of industrial education and training for leadership; it is also the center of true American music and folklore, of the Afro-American and Indian songs and customs. By sending out the best plantation chorus in America this summer the workers and students of Hampton hope to gain new friends and new aid for the school.

Dr. Smythe said: "When Jesus placed Mary and Martina on terms of equality with James and John he set kingsdom toterting and dominions trembling; hurling a thunderbolt in the camp of self-sufficient man, the echo of which is still being heard, he set in motion forces for civilization which shall never be skilced nor defeated. If Christianity did nothing more for the world than the emancipation of woman it would be entitled to our heartiest respect and most devoted attention. Christianity has given to woman her rightful place and never shall there come a day when that place shall be rightfully or successfully contested. It was a great service. The auditorium as well as the overflow meeting was crowded to the doors. Tomorrow night Prof. N. Clark Smith, who led the choir for many years, will hold a reunion with all the members of the choir who sang with him. Professor Smith will direct the singing and will sing a solo.

A feature of great interest to members and friends of St. John marked this great day. It was the first quarterly meeting following the payment of the last dollar of mortgage on their church, making it possible for them to worship under their own vine and fig tree.

Church for the last sad rites over the re- maing of one of the most illustrious members of the order. To make this picture possible Major R. R. Jackson, in charge of the funeral arrangements, ordered out the entire order to pay homage to their deceased brother. Four hundred or more responded, some putting substitutes in their places in order to do 50. 8. B. Turner, Editor IHinols Idea. Kindly grant me space in your pa. per to answer the attack made on me by Mra, J, E. Wright. It Is seldom, if ever, that 1 answer an article In a newspaper, but the article appearing in your paper last week, signed by the lady in ques tlon, 1s so cruel, so unjust, so untrue and unwarranted by the facts, that 1 offer this explanation in bebalf of the organization which we all love so well, and which honored General Wright, even after he was dead. 1 need not defend myself, and shall not attempt to do so. It will be nec essary, however, to use the pronoun I, In order to intelligently convey the facts in the case to a successful un- derstanding. General Wright was stricken with paralysis Monday, April 20. I was notified and called at his home within an hour of the receipt of the notice. The General was uncon- sclous and did not recognize me. 1 left his home and told his wife to let me know immediately it bis condi- tlon grew worse, He died the same night and 1 was notified over the phone. Early Tuesday morning 1 called on bis widow, offered my sym- pathy, and she asked me to look after his funeral arrangements. I told her that “Ed” and myself had been frlends and comrades for more than ‘twenty-five years, and that any- thing that I could do for her and for ‘him, she had but to say so, and pay no attention to expense. Mrs, Wright sald at once that she wanted a Sun- day funeral, she wanted a band, she wanted the services held at Quinn Chapel chureb, and Rev. A. J. Carey to preach the funeral sermon. — She wanted the choir to sing music of her selection, she wanted the band to play certain ‘selections and, in addl- tion to certain numbers on the pro- gram, she wanted tho quartet that officiated at Major Buckner's funeral. Tried to Carry Out Her Wishes, I set out immediately to carry out her wishes. Getting in touch with Roy. Anderson of Quinn Chapel. He was reluctant to grant the use of the ebureh for the Sunday funeral on ac- count of morning services lasting until 12:30 and 1 o'clock, and it be ing Quarterly meeting Sunday in tho church, which takes up the entire afternoon. I promised Rev. Ander- son that if he. would let me have the church that we would go into the funeral services at 1 o'clock and would positively be out by half past two (2:30) o'clock. ,On this condition only did we secure the church, and ‘We tried to live up to our word. I then got In touch with Dr. Carey and ‘he sald he would preach the funeral ‘sermon if it was agreeable to Rev. [Andermon. I then consulted Rev. An- ‘derson and he responded In thy af- ‘firmative. : Returning to Mrs, Wrigitt, I inform- ed her -of the conditions and the agreement on the hours. She thanked me for my efforts and accepted the ‘ours as the very best we could do, on account of the Quarterly meeting services. Then fn succession I ar- ranged for the choir, the band, the musi¢, and selections to be played, the pallbéarers (lodge, military and hon- orary), issued orders to the . entire Uniform Rank department of the or- der to attend the funeral in full ‘dress uniform, notified the lodge of- ficers of the general's death, sent ‘messages and telegrams to the gen eral staff officers, and called on Mrs. ‘Wright each day to learn her further wishes and to carry them out. I vis- ited the lodge and, had them vote out of their treasury $125 for funeral expenses while our departed general was lying dead, All who are mem- ders of fraternal organizations know this {6 an unusual proceeding, for the reagon that few lodges pay thelt death benefits earller than thirty days, and Mrs, Wright had het money in her hand in less than week, At the Church, ‘The Uniform Rank turned out to 2 man—more than 400 men. We arrived at the residence at 11:45 a. m., sharp and were to leave at 12:15 in order to be in the church at 1 o'clock. Mra. Wright delayed matters here, .and we finally left the house at 12:45— thirty minutes Inte. We naturally ar. rived at the church thirty minutes late, and lost a portion of our valu- able time. The services in the church were beautiful and Rev, Carey preached one of the best funeral sermons I have ever listened to. Resolutions were read, your humble servant represented the lodge, the choir sang with feeling and sym. pathy and the lodge performed thelr last service. We finished the program and services at exactly half past two and I an: nounced to the public that owing to the fact that we had agreed with the pastor and the church to finish at that hour, that it would be impossi- ble to view the remains, Mrs. Wright and the family then viewed the remains and we finally left the church at 20 minutes to three, and anyone who has attended a large fu- neral can judge for themselves how long {t would have taken for thoso 1,200 people to have passed in single file before the body. It was my agreement with the church, backed up With Mrs, Wright's request and consent, that we bad a Sunday tu- neral and at and within the hours stipulated. Were More Than Friends. T will now’ state on behalf of the organization that we bad the Sunday funeral to please the widow. We could have had a week day funeral just as well, ordered the members out in the same way and manner and had the use of Quinn Chapel for an entire day it the occasion demanded it and it pleaged the lady In question. It is the basebt ingratitude to abuso me after carrying out all the widow's wishes and doing for her alk that was in my power. General Wright and I were good friends. We were broth- era until death separated us. We were real friends, ‘There aré living more than a thousand men who will tell the world that we were more than friends, There never Was any Jealousy between usiand never a cause for any. General Wright was @ brigadier general and not a major general, as stated by his wite. Every Promotion he enjoyed in the order, your humble servant gave it to him and I am proud of the honor. We ‘were real comrades. He was never defeated In his lodgo for chancellor commander and I never ran for se retary of the lodge, It was a shame for Mre, Wright to print over her signature conditions that never ob tained and -especially incidents that never happened. General Wright served his lodge and his company faithfully and with honor, Every of fice he sought he gained, and Pythias Lodge No. 2 honored him with elec tion and reelection every time he offered his services. Goneral Wright at the time of his death had been selected as grand marshal of the an. nual sermon parade and I will not state who secured him the position of honor each year for more than ten years, but’ will leave it to the dear lady to tell the world, the truth some day betore she dies.” It 1s hard todo your'duty by your friend and your brother and then have abuse heaped upon you by his widow, God forbid and forgive.

Wright, although I regret the occa- sion of dealing after this fashion with so sacred a matter. When one has been called “beyond the veil” {s seems to me that nothing should be said regarding him, saving ° that which means “peace to his ashes and ‘rest to his soul.” 1 cannot believe, owing to what I have heard of the very fine spirit of General Wright [that he would be pleased to have a controversy over his ashes, Toward the close of the week preceding our last quarterly meeting, you called me by telephone and said, “That General J. E. Wright was dead and asked if his funeral might be held at Quinn Chapel the following Sunday after noon.” I answered that It was our quarterly meeting day and I did not think there would be time enough for such a funeral to be held with the usual exercises accompanying them and I named the morning serv. ice which not infrequently runs be- ‘Yond one o'clock. The Sunday school which convenes at two o'clock and the afternoon communion beginning at three o'clock. You said General ‘Wright and bis family were friends of Quinn Chapel though none of them belonged there, that the widow ‘was very desirous to have the eerv- Ice held there and that if wo permit. ted the service to be held there, be ginning at one o'clock, you would see to it that it closed at 2:20 o'clock. Since the ceremonies of only one or ganization would be observed, I said I doubted your ability to get through at that thme, but would try you. Funeral Impressive and Beautiful. The pastor told tho presiding elder about the plea you had made and the consent he had given and requested that all the services of the morning except the preaching might be ab- breviated, so that the funeral might begin promptly at 1 o'clock. It was agreed to and tHe service was closed at 1 o'clock, but the funeral proces- sion did not arrive till a half hour late (1:30). Church members and friends who were present at the fu- neral said, “That it was one of the most orderly, beautiful and impres- sive that had been held in Chicago for years,” and the pastor privately complimented those who participat. ed, including yourself, Major, who as master of ceremonies had directed the services. Everything was done, It seems to me, except viewing the remains. Surprised to Receive Letter. Why that was not done, I did not know, no one had sald anything to me about it. Having assumed that tho general and his family were peo ple of the highest rank and knowing that among the refined and cultured there is a growing custom of exclud- ing the spectacular and emotional from funeral services and, in many cases, not having the remains dle- Played when the services are held, and, knowing, that leading people aro more and moro honoring their Gistinguished dead and giving others opportunity to do so by keeping thelr remains lying in state, which gener- ally precedes interment—knowing these facts, I thought that this part of the service had been intentionally excluded and safd nothing about it However, I was completely dumb- founded when I received a letter from the bereaved widow the following ‘week, complaining that her husband had been dishonored, his friends of. fended and she, the bleeding-hearted widow, deeply grieved because the remains hed not been viewed. In her letter to me, she asked me to ac count for all this, I could not, for I Anew nothing of it, besides my at tention has been called to her article tn one of the papers of our city, in which, I regret to say, sho has mis quoted me. 1 did not "write an an- swer, for I thought {t jwould be bet ter to call and see her fn person that I might not only understand the ques- ton of her grievance ‘thore thorough- ly from her point of vjew, but offer her the consolations of the Gospel, To conclusion may I 887) ag that T-hope this matter will BY in its true light, that the Gomis may be placated and comforteset) that there will be no further 1% ment of the motives and action’ those who at’ great inconvenient themselves and others tried toiye becoming tribute to an hondi@e man and that the sweet memories his fruitful life may not be obscHly by acrimonious controversy 20H ing bis death, oe ‘With best wishes to all concert 1 am your for the peace and’ &@ will of the realm, os S Meee else Se oe ee by Major Jackson was one addre to Mr. Abbott from Mr. J.

Why Did Mrs. Wright Do It? T have been a member of the lodge for 13 years and have been in close touch with both brothers, Jackson and Wright, continuously. ‘There Were no two members more close associated than Brothors Jackson ar Wright were, Mrs, Wright feels @ Poked to go back to a Httle iss, which took place about ten years a. and, doubtless, forgotten by Major Jackson.

Fight on prin- ciple, win or loose, but never stoop ing to injure someone else with falsehoods and petty trivial affairs, Let Us Reason a Bit Brother Jackson never wus~secré" tary of our lodge, and faore than that, never aspired for /eald office, ‘There is no member, or {nembers, in our order of Knights of Pythias a much responsible for Brother J. Wright's advancement in hls immer ate order, or in tho Uniform Ran than was R. R, Jackson, It is pu ting it ta a mild form to say that J. E. Wright owed his success solely to Jackson, Then why should RR. Jackson try to undo, after death, that which had been done in lite? 1 am one that was sitting on the ros- trum and am in position to talk on what oceurred. Rev. J. 0, Anderson remarked that we were late and to which Major Jackson responded that It was no fault of bis, as he had his men assembled. on the min- ute. Let us reason a bit and con- front facts as they really exist. You that are church members well know how much time fs consumed in the church on quarterly meeting Sunday.. Engagements are made from time to time without any consequence of who might die in the meantime, 80 Rev. J. C, Anderson in all truthfu’ ness could not have made the,state ment that there was an ab{ndance of time. About Bing Pretmaster. ‘Mrs. Wrign’s attempt to bedmtoh the character of Major Jackson can only be constiued by intelligence as a slam at the orde: of which her hus- band did go much for in 25 years as a member, and, I might further add, which in turn afd 80 much for him. What Major Jackson did was not as an individual, but as a representative designated by our Chancellor Com- mander. I shall now refer to the time when Major Jackson was fore man at a branch postoffice in Chi- cago. No sane human belug can’ concelve the idea that he\ was telling the people in the far west that he Was postmaster of Chicago when wo well know that such appointments are made by the President of the United States and published in all the papers throughdut the country. in regard to the sixty-five men who depended on Major Jackson for thelr bread and butter, I presume she ‘Meant those connected with the post- office deprctment.

CKSON MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC "All Passes, Art Alone Endures" PAGE SIX JOTTINGS THEATRICAL AND OTHERWISE. Julia Gonzalez a plump little sprite evidently hailing from Spain, opened the first half of the week's bill with a novel and entertaining trapeze performance, she reminds one more of a strietly circus performer than any artist that has appeared here lately. Harry Wardell sings a little, talks more, and dances some. His monologue was filled with quaint, clever stories and he had a fetching way of putting over the few topical songs he attempted, that won for him generous applause. A comedy sketch entitled "The quitter," presented cleverly by Jessie Hayward and Company, told a story of a poor chamber maid in a country hotel trying to support her motherless sisters, the trials with travelling drummers, etc. The audience was carried from smiles to tears, and the skit altogether made a very good impression. Schreck and Percival in acrobatic absurdities were entertaining, but by far the best thing on the bill was the satirical comedy entitled "Get Out of This Theatre," which was admirably done by Henry Sylvester and Maidna Vance, their work was classy and refined, their costumes pretty and appropriate, and their slinging far above the average. It was a good show, and judging by the hearty applause and large attendance, was fully appreciated. REVIEW OF THE THEATERS By Tony Langston. The Grand. The Zamora Sisters, trapeze performers, opened the bill last half of last week, and proved to be above the ordinary. Neary & Miller, a singing and dancing act, were very ordinary and were followed by Carroll, Keating & Fay, in "A Crow's Nest," a rural comedy of fair merit. Byam, York & Faye in a cabaret act deserved as much credit for their entertaining ability, and the old familiar "Ten Dark Knights" with the help of Jack Smith, blackface comedian, held up its past excellent reputation. The bill the first half of this week was of more than ordinary excellence. Julia González, novelty trapeze artist, made a very favorable impression, and Harry Wardell, late star of the "Honeymoon Express" company, put on a very commendable monologue. Jessie Hayward & Company presented a comedy sketch called "The Quitter" and were accorded plenty of well merited applause. Sylvester & Vance were well received and their vocal numbers were of a very high order, and Shreck & Percival, aerobats of quality, closed one of the best bills seen here for some time. Cut out the coupon in this paper, write the name of some popular girl, and mail it to the Contest Editor. New Monogram. Noel Washington, the human mocking bird, opened the bill here and put on some real imitations. Johnson & Rector proved to be a team of more than ordinary merit, his singing and dancing numbers being excellent. Annetta Link was here. She is a ballad singer. The reason I mention specifically that she was here is because she would not have been missed had she not been here. A case of the missing Link not being missed, as it were, Get it? Where does Klein dig them up from? The famous Tim Oaseley and Sam Davis were the hit of the bill and made up for the sad spot in the program that preceded them. Monday the Consolidated Stock Company comes for a week's engagement. Twelve real stock performers. The orchestra will be re-enforced and the novelty of the attraction should pack the house at each performance. Old Monogram. The Mills Sisters in character songs and dances went fairly well, and were followed by Lewis & Lewis in a neat singing and dancing act. Kittie Sherman, who appeared to be a Dutch comedienne with an Irish accent, used all her 200 pounds avoidupolus in a vain effort to amuse, and finally bounced out of the way of Burton & Robinson, a team of merit who put on a brass hand finish with the aid of the Monogram's two piece orchestra. it is rumored that Mr. Miller will in the near future install an automatic piano in this house and play it himself, which, of course, would be a novelty in itself, and at the same time would relieve the management of the expense of the large corp of musicians now engaged. The States. This house has had the usual excellent attendance during the week, and the bookings were of a high order. Henry Salkin has added to the orchestra until he has the only six-piece organization boasted by any of the south side houses. "Love's Sacrifice," "The Hour of Temptation," "The Acuscing Voice," "Return of Clausson," "Freckles and the Walt," a six-reel feature, were among the attractions shown. Sunday "The Body in the Trunk," a sensational multi-reel detective story, will be run. Lincoln Theater Business has been excellent here considering the unreasonable weather prevailing, and every day has been feature day. Among the multi-reel features seen here during the week were "Miss Nobody from Nowhere," "The Bolted Door," "Lucille Love No.4," "Mandy's Choice," an Afro-American comedy by all colored actors, including Charles Gilpin of the old Pekin Stock; "In the Shadows of the Mosque," "Under the Mask of Honesty," and "The Daughter of a Crook," Sunday "Love and Vengeance," a four-reel comedy, will be featured. The Washington During the week, Kaplan presented Arthur Johnson in a piece called "The Inventor's-Wife," and Alice Joyce in "The Cbaret Dancer," both of which jammed the handsome house to capacity. "The Man Who Disappeared," "The Double Cross," with "Frederick the Great" to come Sunday, are a few of the other good things seen here during the week. The Pekin The Pelkin has been opened to moving pictures for the past two weeks and among the features shown were "The Battle in the Clouds," "The Gunmen of New York," "King Baggott, Detective," "Drift Swain," a story of the north woods, and other multi-reel attractions. Dave Greer is electrician and operator. Business good. The Elmwood Big doings at this popular cafe is the rule, and you can always find plenty of good people here, no matter what the conditions are elsewhere. The Thursday matinees are always well attended, and handsome souvenirs are distributed among the ladies present. The Sunday concerts, which start at 5:30 p. m. and run on until closing time, are always well attended, and the entertaining staff, under the personal supervision of Mr. Ollie Powers himself, is by far the best engaged at any cafe in town. Messrs. Russell & Dago spare no expense and pains to make the Elmwood the popular resort which it is. The Palms The Palms ice Cream Cafe, recently opened by Mine, Tyler, is enjoying the success which it well deserves, and is the best appointed ice cream parlor on State street. The Defender wishes the madame the greatest success in her new undertaking and can see no reason why 3313 State street, where the Palms is located, should not become as popular as the madame herself. A QUARTET OF ARTISTS Theodore P. Bryant, Wyatt Houston Miss Bettiola-Fortson and Mrs. Estella Bond-Majors at Bethel Church. Monday night local talent rendered as acceptable a concert at Bethel A. M. E. Church as has been given in this city recently. Those making up the program were Mr. Theodore P. Bryant, baritone soloist; Mr. J. Wyatt Houston, violinist; Miss Bettie Fiora演示, dramatic reader, and Mrs. Estella Bond-Majors, accompanist. From an artistic standpoint it was all that could be desired, but the audience was lamentably small, scarcely one hundred and fifty persons being present. Mr. Bryant was foremost, in fact he was the star. He had sufficient numbers to fully display his very pleasing voice. He sings with that fervor notable in singers of days gone by. He puts his soul into every number and when he has finished you have heard his best, and excellent singing it is. Sharing honors with him was Mr. Houston, the violinist. Few have realized that this young musician bears the earmarks of a genius. His sphere should be broadened and in a short while he can return, one of the few masters of the difficult instrument. Miss Fortison deserved credit for being present. She suffered with rheumatism but rather than disappoint her audience she was assisted on and off the stage and limped painfully. With one exception she gave her own compositions and delighted her hewers with her inimitable style. Estella Bond-Majors is a finished musician, always in demand as an accompanist, and Mr. Bryant is fortunate in having secured her services. MME. JESSIE SCOTT HARRIS IN RECITAL One of our popular matrons of the south side will leave for Louisville May 20 to be heard in a musical recital at 13th and Broadway A. M. E. Church, May 28. Mme. Harris is a noted singer, having traveled quite extensively. She is the popular president of the Mystic Social Club. The Mystic Quartet will appear with her in the recital. Mme. Harris being a past worthy counselor of Grand Star Court, Louisville, and also a grand officer, is extensively known both fraternally and socially. Society is all aglow over her "home coming." ADJ.-GENERAL DICKSON Adjutant General Frank S. Dickson, Illinois National Guard, will present the long and honorable service medals to the 8th Regiment boys on Monday night. May 25, at the reception and ball tendered them by the colored citizens. It will be worth "a day's travel in an ox cart" to hear the eloquent general on this occasion.

The ninth annual ball of the Great Lakes Lodge No. 43, I. B. P. O. E. W., at the Coliseum Annex Thursday evening was a grand success and an enjoyable function. Visiting Elks were here from all parts of the country, and the hall was packed, and they danced until 3 a.m. the next morning. The tango contest was a howling success, which was under the direction of Henry (Tenan) Jones, past master in the art of entertaining, who did not overlook anything for the amusement of the guests. The International Moving Picture Association gave a ball in the Coliseum proper and they heard and saw the Elks having such a great THE CHICAGO DEFENDER AMERICA'S GREATEST the prin- ic classic resembles princess of bouquettish, a real pril! the popu- original formerly ed, "Good he put Mexico beat the the war being the one march, Oohan.

Mr. Cross, the Elks' mascot, who was forced to go to California on Thursday afternoon, was taken suddenly ill with heart failure when he sent a telegram from out west stating that he could not be present at the ball. "Tenan says we are $5,000 to the good and the Elks are moving on." S. COLRIDGE-TAYLOR CLUB Prof. J. A. Mundy is to be congratulated on having such a large crowd at Orchestra Hall on Monday night. The chorus work was very good, and especially those directed by Prof. N. Clark Smith. The singing of Mrs. Wilma Sloan was in fine voice and her singing was well received by the critics. Mr. Hann, the basso profundo, was a decided hit. He is easily one of the best trained singers in the city. The Defender is glad it was a success. UMBRIANS NOW WISH DEFENDER EDITOR WOULD READ HIS OWN PAPER. Dear Mr. Editor: I have just been told that you are usually too busy to read your own paper, so I feel it my duty to tell you some of the current news. In your issue of this week please read an article in the music column, under the caption "Umbrians Now Wish The Defender Editor Would Read His Own Paper." You will see that the Umbrian Glee Club did not remain "too modest to talk" after "feeling the pulse of the Chicago public," but caused hundreds to "save money at home," and since the club was "played a trick by the Foresters" and their "president threatened with arrest," all who have constantly read The Defender have "two bits" laid away "For An Evening With Race Composers," when they will hear Buchanan's "Taint No Use in Cryin" with a male chorus for the first time. Burleigh's Negro Spiritual "Deep, Deep Revery," also taint pathetic. Carl Diton's one hundred dollar prize winner, "Every Time I Feel the Spirit," Lemonier's true, sentimental ballad, "Up To-day and Down To-morrow," and Will Cook's "Negro Sermon" and "Rain Song," also Miss Maud Robhue and Wm. Hann in their official recital debut and a plantation symphony especially arranged for the Umbrian by Capt. N. Clark Smith, All of this next Tuesday evening at Quinn Chapel, May 19th for 25 cents. The Poinsettia and Billiken, two sister Embroidery, Hoop and Needle Clubs are patronesses. Please, Mr. Editor, tell all to come early, get tickets in advance or they will have to pay "two bits" at the door. Find enclosed four tickets for yourself and family. A. NOSIE ON THE STROLL. By Columbus Bragg. Mr. Noel Washington, the bird imitator, played last week at the Castopolition Theater on big time and headed the bill, being the only Afro-American on the bill. Of course he stopped the show. Now playing at Monogram Theater to stand room only. He is a novelty. Mr. Washington happens to be the proud father of Miss Blanche Washington, that teasing, tantalizing, brown-skin singer and musician, a temptuous, petted girl who has been chosen as the Princess Ziza in the great Ethiopic classic played "Ahajah." She resembles very much the Abyssinian princess of this day—very winsome, coquettish, still modest in her deocrum; a real sweet, masterpiece, that girl! Mr. Lillison is singing at the popular Elite Cafe the famous original song by Mr. Billy Johnson, formerly of Cole and Johnson, entitled, "Good Bye, Old Mexico." The way he put it over there you would think Mexico was already gone. He has heat the popular George M. Cohen to the war march, so Mr. Johnson, in being the first to write a hit of war-time marche, has stolen a march on Cohan. It would behoove you to hear Mr. Lillison, supported by that super Elite Orchestra. A decided hit. Mrs. Lola Wicks Wallace, the most popular artist the Windy City affords, has been given a vacation by the management by Ellwood Cafe. She will visit Atlantic City and her mother in Baltimore, Md., before our own Chicago girl returns. We wish her all the good time and health. She has entertained us as no other could do. We would not let her leave us only on the promise of an immediate return. But we still have our spoiled and petted Eva Tanguay—I mean Miss Ethel James, one of the best single-handed entertainers known—so jolly, smiling, disposition as sweet as milk and honey, and can render a song that you go away craving to hear again. Miss Capleton should sing in Miss Lola's place while she is gone, I wonder if Mr. Powers, the manager, knows she is clever. Ugh! Brown and Wallace, who are now playing at the Pekin Theater, may be seen on The Stroll next week. There has been some change in their booking owing to the change of management of the Lafayette Theater at New York. Report is that these two brilliant stars have been royally received at Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio.

The American Giants won their third straight game when they defeated the West Ends Sunday in one of the best games that has ever been witnessed on the South Side. Both teams played brilliant ball and both scored their runs in the first innning. After that there was nothing doing. Bradshaw, the crack Guhther pitcher who started the opening game against the Giants and was knocked off the mound, was in rare form. Jack Champion borrowed him to work against the Giants, he not having faith enough in his own twirlers against the slugging men of Posters. However, the ever-ready Rube sprung a trump card on the fans in putting a new pitcher named Banton in the box and the fans were highly pleased for he held the West Ends to four lonely hits. McGuire's single, his theft of second, then Barber's muff of a thrown ball called the visitors their only run. The Giants came right back in their half and scored two. Barber redeemed himself by singing, the crowd called on Pete to bring him home. Pete doubled. Duncan sacrificed and Lloyd came up and knocked one so hard to Callahan that he messed it up and two runs counted. That was all. Bauton Shows Class. Boston Shows Class. The rest was simply one of the prettiest pitchers' battles that has ever been seen. Bradshaw settled down and kept the remaining five hits of the Giants well scattered, while the new twirler from Detroit, Banton, let the vishors down with three hits after the first innning, McGuire getting another. The fast Chicago Giants open against the American Giants Sunday. A hard battle is expected and if the weather permits, the largest crowd that has seen a semi-pro ball game this season will be out. Foster's men are in great shape for the fray, while Messrs. Jackson and Leland have the best team that they have had in years. Score of Sunday's game. Am.

Barber's error in the first inning was the first one that has been chalked up against the home boys. Hill, Gans and Lloyd knocked out two-base hits. McGuire and Barber were the only two to get more than one hit. Munroe, Francis and Banton went hitless on our side, while six did the same on the visitors. It was a fast game, only lasting an hour and forty minutes, and the crowd was glad, for a stiff wind blew, up and the drop in the temperature was BILLIARDS — 3 CUSHION BILLIARDS.

Lloyd robbed Gans of a put-out when he went back in the left garden and got a fly. Munroe started to do the same thing in right later on, but the wind kept the ball out of his reach and it looked as though there would be a collision between him and Duncan. The latter got the put-out. Lloyd is still pulling off some classy work at short. Gans' sheeostring catch brought the crowd to its feet. Jack Champion of the visitors gave us some exhibition of playing first to perfection. Callahan's error was the only one for the West Ends. Chicago Glants next with Walter Ball, the old favorite here, in the box. Booked notice that one of the visitors bats was longer than it should be. He held up the game for a few minutes. He must have been right, for the "ump" threw it out. Sporting Gossip. The Defenders won a fourteen-inning game at Washington Park, Sunday morning, before a large crowd. Cary pitched a fine game and after the eighth inning with air-tight support shut out the visitors. One run in the last half of the fourteenth with two men down, decided the game. The Grace Sunday School won their second practice game when they won from the Second U. P. by a score of 7 to 2 Saturday at Washington Park. Washington pitched the entire game with Hardy catching. Grace opens their regular season at 3 o'clock Saturday. Brewton, former captain of the famous Tuskegee baseball team and now manager of the Quinn Chapel team, says that he has the best lineup that Quinn has had in years and that he issues warning that the rest of the teams in the Prebyster league to be on their guard. Capt Washington announces that the lineup for the opening game against Normal Park at Washington Park, at 3 o'clock on Saturday, will be as follows: Pryor, Walker, Brewton, Washington, Bailey, Pitts, Richards, Tobin, Alexander. Substitutes—Landers, Lewis, Grammer, Tedford and Rapier. The Chinese University of Hawaii ball team defeated the University of Chicago. The clever pitching of Capt. Akana was the feature. Apau finished on the mound and fanned nine. The little yellow men outplayed the pale faces in every inning. Their base running was a feature. Five stolen bases they helped themselves to. The final score was five to nothing. BILLIARDS — 3 CUSHION BILLIARDS. The Solace Billard Academy offers on next Wednesday night at 8:30, May 20, a free exhibition game of three-cushion billiards between Harry Manade, recently of Milwaukee but well known in Chicago, and Jesse Nelson, better known as "Foots." Mr. Manade holds the three-cushion championship of the state of Wisconsin for 1912, having to his credit a record of 50 points in 44 innings.

CHATS WITH CHI CAGO DEFENDER ADVERTISERS Merchants, Manufacturers, Professionals, and Men and Women in General Business Get Good Results and Praise the Medium that Has Increased Their Enterprises. BRINGS TRADE FROM AFAR The Actual Experiences of Your Store- keeper, Dentist or Real Estate Agent-They Are Quoted in This Article, but Will Tell You the Same Story Themselves if You Ask Them. No one can better attest the influence of the Chicago Defender as an advertising medium than Dr. W. H. Britt, 4710 State street, a post graduate in optics and diseases of the eye. Dr. Britt says: "It is amazing to see so many readers of the Defender in my section of the city. Most of the people who come to my office have seen my ad in the Defender." J. A. Grinnell's home baking and delicatessen dairy lunch business is another evidence of what proper advertising will do. When the Defender told the story about his Easter cakes would be the sweetest and best in the city, every cake baked was sold by noon Easter Sunday, "My ad brings me results," said Mr. Grinnell to a Defender reporter. Ernest Williamson, of the Williamson & Jackson undertaking establishment, was formerly connected with the Illinois Chronicle and knows the value of advertising. --- Mr. Binga Pleased. "We carry a standing ad in your paper," said Mr. Williamson at the branch office, 5028 State street. "I want people to know we are in business and can serve them at a moment's notice, and this can be done by seeing our ad in Chicago's leading weekly," said the young and progressive embalmer, Adams, the tailor, 2039 State street, thinks the Defender is the only weekly paper in the city. "I have a great many people tell me they have read my ad, and I feel I get my money's worth." "Whenever I want quick sales of my hats I use the Defender. It's a good paper and so many of my customers read it," said Miss Rosa Morgan of 3709 State street. Real estate on the South Side as a business has made a wonderful stride and the rise of Mr. Jesse Binga is a notable evidence. He is one of the best advertisers in Chicago. "The Defender as an advertiser is great," said Mr. Binga. "I use it every week in the year and will continue to do so as long as I get such results as I have been getting. I shall never forget the good the Defender did in my carnival a year ago," said the banker; "count me as one who likes the Defender." "You see our women in Chicago have the prettiest hair of any women in the world. That's because they use Mrs. C. J. Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower," said Mine. E. M. Truman, scalp specialist, 3122 Dearborn street. "The Chicago Defender is the paper for me," was her expression to the reporter. Fills the Tables. Rogers' restaurant, 21 East 330 street, is one of the Defender's old advertisers, and he says the Defender keeps the tables filled daily. George A. Muller, manager of the South Side whitewashing and cold water paint concern, says he has been benefited by his ad recently inserted. Fredd. H. Bartlett & Co., Chicago's largest real estate operators, have the highest praise for the Defender as an advertising medium. Last year they listed 36 houses for sale, and in two weeks 24 were sold. Mr. Thomas, in charge of their South Side property, says: "More colored people have purchased homes through the Defender than any paper we use. We pay for special place for display and get results. The new Grand Theater is another one of the Defender's oldest advertisers. Its ad appears weekly and a write-up of the show also. Mr. Smith says the Defender for him. Jackson's music school, 3109 State street, is another advertiser. He too is pleased with the influence of this paper. Helps a Cemetery. Miss Scoble, who is the secretary of the Mt. Greenwood Cemetery Association, is a literary woman and knows the value of a paper that has the most up-to-date style and freshness of news. "We advertise in the Defender and don't regret it," she said. Bowers, Lebrandt & O'Brien, 6 East 31st street, is the new firm of the old Bowers Company. This is one of the strongest companies on the South Side, and their manager claims the Defender has been the cause of thousands to rent houses and buy homes. The Peerless Orchestra, J. Jeffrey, manager, with headquarters at 56 East 42d street, regards the Defender as a splendid journal to inform people that they are ready to furnish music for all occasions. What a Banker Said. The Lincoln State Bank of Chicago, 3105 State street, is not only a big advertiser, but a friend of the Defender. "I am for the Defender; it is a great paper and many of our patrons read it. Even the newsboys sell it. It gave a fine story of our opening and it has always brought us good and substantial returns." Mme. Madeline McFarland, Chicago's artistic milliner at 4746 South State street, is another advertiser who gets results. "The Defender is a power in the community," said the Madame. The Boston Dental Parlor at 3507 State street care for many patients daily, the result of their ad. La Bastide's drug store, 3702 South State street, secures many patrons, as does Mrs. A. Butler, "he milliner, at 3412 State street. --- Briggs the Dairyman. William Maxwell, haberdasher, 5244 State street; Edward Fex, ice cream parlor, 52 West 30th street; Hotel Pullman, J. A.

Young Man's Praise. Young Man's Praise. Anderson and Terrell, real estate dealers, 3512 State street, use The Defender weekly to sell their houses and rent their flats. "Our big ad in The Defender tells in eloquent words how well pleased we are," said Walter Anderson of the firm. The classified columns with furnished and unfurnished rooms have won favor with the citizens because immediate returns are the result. The interviews from these reputable men and women in business is the best evidence that The Defender has the largest circulation—and GETS RESULTS. OAKLAND, CAL. (Special to The Defender.)

CHICAGO REAL ESTATE FORTUNES Many of the largest fortunes ever made in this country are the result, to no small extent, of investments in Chicago real estate. It would not be difficult to mention hundreds of successful men who made most of their large fortunes by investing in Chicago real estate. It is only necessary, however, to name but a few well-known examples, such as Julius Rosenwald, Marshall Field, Potter Palmer, Otto Young, E. J. Lehman, F. W. Peck, J. L. Kesner, the McCormicks, Mrs. Charles Netcher, Mrs. Hetty Green, etc, etc. It is to be wondered why so many of the Afro-Americans continue to pay such high rentals, when this money could be applied on a hom-Chicago's largest real estate operators have a plan whereby you make your rent money buy you a home.

FOR MANY, MANY YEARS BOSTON HELD THE STAGE as the musical center of America. Here was to be found the culture and class, the huge conservatories, drawing their students from all parts of the country, for you were not looked upon as "finished" unless you could produce a diploma bearing a Boston "O. K." Some fifteen or twenty years ago New York entered the grand opera field on a large scale and corralled, for the time being, the greatest artists of the day. Managers vied with each other for supremacy and the wealth of the rich brought to this metropolis the last word in things musical. Schools and conservatories sprung up like mushrooms and the tide drifted from the "Hub" to Gotham. How long they held that title Chicagoans well know. Our first big step was the Theodore Thomas Orchestra, considered the finest organization in the United States. Operas came first as an experiment, but they proved such howling successes both financially and artistically that they became a regular feature and produced in English or in the other languages, at high or popular prices, the results were more than gratifying and proved beyond a doubt that Chicagoans were lovers of good music and would royally support any worthy organization. No musical history in America is complete without reckoning with that produced by members of the Afro-American race, the only simon pure article. From the quintant cantations of the old mammy and the weird pathetic impromptu melodies of the slaves evolved the real music of America. It has often been said that the music in the soul of the black man is the one thing that has made him bear his burdens with patience and fortitude, for he found relief in pouring his soul out in his music. This legacy has not been lost on the younger generation. In Chicago and elsewhere creditable organizations have sprung up to keep alive songs their mothers and their fathers sang in the days long ago. The Choral Study Club under the direction of Pedro Tinsley rose to great prominence by their rendition of great and difficult works. On Monday night of this week the Colridge-Taylor Club at Orchestra Hall gave a repertoire solely of works by Afro-American composers. The Umbrian Glee Club, another splendid Chicago musical organization, gives frequent concerts, featuring works by members of their own race, and hosts of individual artists make up a coterie of musical lights that other cities would find hard to duplicate. So in all modesty we can claim the metropolis of the West holds the pennant as the greatest musical center. While we have been loyal it takes more than loyalty to support these splendid organizations and when they appear before the public they should be liberally patronized. SUNDAY FUNERALS.

It is becoming the regular order of things. Scarcely a week passes that fails to carry out this program. Suppose, for argument sake, that Sunday is the only day of leisure for the working class, must it be spent parading up and down the hot, dusty streets? There are other ways of paying respect to the dead that are more sane and practical. Let us not have a repetition of this pomp and show each Sunday as we have had in years gone by.

The time has passed when the Bleaseites, the followers of Vardman, Hoke Smith and men of their ilk, can influence any man to their degenerate way of thinking, save a few steeped in the same dye as they were. For once the ravings of this mad man are not over the Negro. He has branched out into greener fields, fields that will surely but more quickly sound the death knell of his political life. Like a drowning man, he grasps at a straw even though that straw be steeped in filth. We can add nothing to the following: "Governor Cole Blease of South Carolina is campaigning for the United States senatorship. In one of his speeches he is reported to have promised a pardon for any one who kills a physician CHICAGO DEFENDER who attempts, contrary to the will of the parents, to make a medical examination of a schoolgirl under the terms of a law proposed for the medical inspection of school children. He declares that such inspection would give examining physicians the power to damn the daughters of their political enemies by giving false reports as to their chastity. "This utterance represents the lowest level of demagogy known to have been resorted to by any conspicuous politician in our history. That a mind so darkened and depraved should be found in a high office in any American commonwealth is a shocking fact. Politics has struck some low levels in our country; undesirables have attained success too often in the North as well as in the South; shameful conditions exist in many places. But if an appeal like this of Blease's is deemed profitable even to a Blease there must be something unusually poisonous in the public morals of South Carolina. This is a grave consideration for the intelligent, decent people of that state and of the South, who should organize not only against such men as Blease but against the conditions which make their rise possible. Bleaseism is a disgrace to American life, an astounding lapse from civilization." NEW HAITIAN MINISTER EFT FOR THE PRESENT ADMISSION. The white man, Madison R. Smith, the representative, and at the time the comment, for it has always been being believed they were better than Great Britain and Haiti are lies that Mr. Smith was not a howler. Resignation was sent in and accepted, however, to be Mr. Smith's surplus a plum for the Bourbon South Bank it was tendered to Arthur Baxley to the American embassy in Japan as a tacit admission that it isomat on deck when difficult in to demand attention. Still gravely on this bankrupt nation but it was one of the race to retire because it is credited with saying, "It is done in this important post, and there is available." A blind man would full of holes. How do they get to bring them home or by sending the representatives, where they get the gift of our wonderful merit system, to his worth to be recognized. The appointments, especially in the fallacy of such statements. We regarded as a perquisite of our race being our tenure in office a failure here. IT WAS LEFT FOR THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION to send the first white man, Madison R. Smith, to Port-au-Prince as his country's representative, and at the time his appointment created no little comment, for it has always been the post of a colored man, it being believed they were better qualified for the service. Now that Great Britain and Haiti are having a little difficulty it appears that Mr. Smith was not a howling success as a diplomat, so his resignation was sent in and accepted. But a colored man was not, however, to be Mr. Smith's successor. My, no! That was too big a plum for the Bourbon South to give to one out of their ranks, so it was tendered to Arthur Bailly-Blanchard, at present secretary to the American embassy in Japan. His selection may be taken as a tacit admission that it is wise to have a professional diplomat on deck when difficult international questions are likely to demand attention. Still grave questions have come up before in this bankrupt nation but it was not found necessary for a member of the race to retire because of incompetency. The department is credited with saying, "It is desirable to have a trained diplomat in this important post, and there are no colored trained diplomats available." A blind man would be able to shoot such an excuse full of holes. How do they get trained white diplomats—by keeping them home or by sending them to these foreign places as representatives, where they get the actual experience? We boast of our wonderful merit system and that a man has but to prove his worth to be recognized. Those who have closely followed the appointments, especially in this administration, know full well the fallacy of such statements. We have lost the post for years regarded as a perquisite of our race, but we are glad to know that during our tenure in office a failure has not been credited up to us. SPRING. ARM DAYS and that same old love belting to get out in the open when us, as it did last year, the year we can remember. There is a sub-trees and flowers, the chirping, singing a nest, the glad murmur of the valley of the green swathed hills,ince. The lowing of the cows, once, the proud crowing of the roosts, every breath of which seems of your being. One who has no life has lost most of its sweetness, special life man becomes a very autumnal methodical, perfunctory manner, city life, for man made the city and it is why man grows restless, his work becomes a drudgery, that far his season of the year, and his whim out where the voices of nature blow off the annoyances and trifling freedom of a new life. Where he has insignificant atom in this great nose who are not financially able the parks afford at least a breath A FEW WARM DAYS and that same old longing, that same uncontrollable feeling to get out in the open where nature is at its best, comes over us, as it did last year, the year before that, and as far back as we can remember. There is a subtle something in the budding of the trees and flowers, the chirping of the bird to its mate while building a nest, the glad murmur of the brook as it winds way in the valley of the green swathed hills to the miniature lake in the distance. The lowing of the cows, the antics of the colt in the pasture, the proud crowing of the rooster, and the balmy rejuvenating air, every breath of which seemingly penetrates the innermost parts of your being. One who has not drunk deep of these blessings of life has lost most of its sweetness. From the daily routine of commercial life man becomes a very automaton, performing his duties in a methodical, perfunctory manner amid the smoke, grim and roar of city life, for man made the city and God made the country, and that is why man grows restless, his pen idly trails in his hand, his work becomes a drudgery, that far-away look steals into his eye at this season of the year, and his whole heart and soul bids him to steal out where the voices of nature can sing to him, where he can throw off the annoyances and trifling ills and rejoice in the glow and freedom of a new life. Where he can realize that after all he is an insignificant atom in this great universe. It is spring and to those who are not financially able to answer to the call of the wild, the parks afford at least a breathing place, a place to dream. COMING INTO HIS OWN HOW PEOPLE MUST GO APPRECIATED. Recently the principal authority in ring contests less due to prejudiced American k" Johnson as the heavyweight his claim to the title. Whatever been magnified a thousand times nelight and had something the wtitle. How they could wrest the STRANGE HOW PEOPLE MUST GO AWAY FROM HOME TO BE APPRECIATED. Recently the French Boxing Federation, the principal authority in ring contests in France, which for a time—doubtless due to prejudiced American reports—refused to recognize "Jack" Johnson as the heavyweight champion of the world, accepted his claim to the title. Whatever faults the champion has have been magnified a thousand times simply because he was in the limelight and had something the white man wanted —money and a title. How they could wrest the champion title away from him without sacrificing a "white hope" is a mystery. The world says he won that honor fairly and squarely. We hear much talk as to the harm he has done the race by his actions, that he represents us, etc. "Jack" Johnson's vocation is prize-fighting, and as such he represents us, nothing more. James J. Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons, and their kind—do they represent the better element of the white race? This paper has taken a stand not because this man was being prosecuted for violating the law, but because he was seemingly being persecuted. It was a stand for human rights and would have been taken for any man be he of high or low station. It is so easy to drift with the tide, but whither does it take you? Rowing up stream though hard might bring you to your goal, and that is all there is in life after all. Crime should be punished to the full extent of the law, but we should like to be shown where "black" and "crime" are synonymous. A GREAT MANY HOUSEWIVES THINK when they see "Guaranteed under the food and drugs act" on packages of groceries that they have been inspected by the government and are therefore absolutely pure. Not so. It merely means a guarantee to the dealer that the manufacturer is legally responsible for his goods, and in no sense implies that the federal authorities have investigated or approved the quality of the goods so labeled. Consumers no longer are to be deceived after May 1st, 1915, the phrase is to be abolished. Until then "Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise."

WILBERFORCE WILLIAMS TALKS ON Preventative Measures First Aid Remedies Hygienics and Sanitation NOCASES ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES From the recent reports of the condition existing between Mexico and the United States, it seems that some of us in a very short while will be called upon to give up the life of a civilian and join*the army, to march into Mexico. There are certain facts we all must have if we go to Mexico or if we remain at home. In order to operate a machine successfully, and to repair this machine when it is out of order, we must have certain knowledge of the normal or perfect working of the machine, and the abnormal or imperfect working of the machine. Hospital corps, railroad men, baseball players, police officers, firemen, factory operators and industrial workers in general should all have some working knowledge of the human machine in order to render intelligent first aid in cases of injury in the absence of a medical attendant. The Injured and Killed. It is estimated that over five hundred thousand people are killed, or injured, and rendered incapacitated from manual labor yearly; and that the average earning capacity of a normal man is about five hundred dollars a year. This estimation upon the basis of five hundred thousand killed or injured and rendered incapacitated, means an annual loss to the United States of two hundred and fifty million dollars. It is estimated that over 50 per cent of these deaths and the enormous loss of wealth could have been prevented if the people had been in possession of intelligent' working knowledge along the lines of prevention of accidents and first aid. Often the first aid to the injured is of the highest importance, and many lives could have been saved, if people had been in possession of proper knowledge and many lives have been lost, and are being lost every day on account of the lack of knowledge of the human machine as to what to do in cases of accident. It is not the purpose of this article to try to teach people the knowledge that is obtained by physicians and surgeons through hard study and many years of close application, but, to give them the knowledge of the human machine which will enable them to know what to do until the doctor can be reached, and when to send for the doctor. --- --- VIRGINIA First Aid. It is said that the proper study of mankind is man. The human body is made up of two parts, the hard and the soft parts. We call the hard part bone, and the soft parts are the muscles, and internal organs, such as the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, stomach, spleen, etc. The bones are the framework of the machine. They make up the skeleton, which supports and carries on the soft parts of the body; the bones also protect from injury the important organs of the body; they give attachment to the muscles and form joints so that movements of the body are made possible. The Skeleton — Boney Framework. For convenience the skeleton is divided into three parts: The head, composed of the cranium or skull—a boney box or case—in which are enclosed the highest organs of the body, which rules the world—the brains. The face, in which are located the eyes to see, the ears to hear, the nose to smell and mouth to talk. All of these bones are fixed in the head except the lower jaw, which is movable. The Trunk. The trunk is composed of two parts Your Rent Money WOULD MAKE YOU THE OWNER OF A HOME OR TWO-APARTMENT BUILDING if applied on our easy payment plan.

MAY 16,1914 —the upper and lower and is divided by a muscular partition, the diaphram. We call the upper portion the chest, which contains the gullet—that tube which carries the food from the mouth to the stomach—the lungs, the heart and some important blood vessels. The lower portion we call the abdomen. The important organs in this region are the stomach, liver, kidney, bladder, spleen, intestines and other important organs among which are the generative organs. Important Bones That First Aid Should Know About. The spinal column—a strong pillar like body of several curves made up of bones, called vertebrae, and between each of these bones or vertebrae is placed a soft cushion-like substance called cartilage. At the lower end the spinal column terminates in the sacrum or rump bone and the lower end is the coccyx. The head and ribs are attached and supported by the spinal column and it is supported on the pelvis. Riba. There are twenty-four ribs in number and they form the walls of the chest. Ten are attached to the front and twelve attached to the spinal column in the back—the two longer ribs are not attached in front and are known as floating ribs. Joints. Where two or more bones come in contact or touch each other, they form a joint. Joints are sealed in a capsule or sack and are self-lubricated. The joints are moved and operated by fibrous bands known as ligaments. Some have motion in all directions as the shoulder and hip joint and is known as the ball and socket joints. Some have motion in only two directions and are known as hinge joints. A knowledge of these joints is of great importance to first alders as they are often thrown out of place or dislocated. The students who are going TO DO first aid work should answer the following questions: What is the composition of the body? What is the skeleton, and what does it do as a part of the body? Of what parts is the head made up? Give the two divisions of the trunk and what is contained in each division. What bones form the upper extremity? What is a joint? Name the two kinds of joints. What are muscles? What is the function and purpose of muscles? What are the two kinds of muscles? What is the importance of muscles in fractures and dislocations?
