The two men had a quarrel over some money given to a woman. Hightower escaped and Long's body was taken to the Williamson morgue, 5028 State street, where the body still lies awaiting burial. The life insurance he carried is worthless and friends are begging money to pay the undertaker. This crime was a most brutal one. Hightower, the alleged slayer, according to reports, is a "bad man," having been accused of a serious crime before. Efforts are being made to apprehend him. 1 VOL LX, NO. 34. --- --- A sudden influx of contraband idlers and outlaws from the South has brought death and injury to a number of men, women and children recently and thrown Chicago and nearby cities into the wildest excitement and caused law-abiding citizens to go about with fear and trembling for their lives. Since Friday the papers have been teeming with vivid accounts of shooting, cutting and willful murder, so revolting that the stoutest hearts were made to shudder. Investigation in every case shows that the perpetrators are either no accounts or refugees from other places. Lured here by tales of liberty and privileges unknown in their native towns these outlaws, unable to stand the rights of American citizens, fill up with bad whiskey, become enamored with equally no account women and the entire race suffers for their misdeeds. In no recent crime has the culprit been a citizen of any note. How these armed bullets have escaped the notice of the police is a perplexing question, but the wanton loss of life the early part of this and last week has been appalling. Carlton's Dastardly Deed. The most atrocious crime was that of John Carlton, a Cuban, but nevertheless called an Afro-American, who slayed Mamah Northwick Cheney and five others in Frank Lloyd Wright's bungalow, on the Wisconsin river, near Spring Green, with a hatchet. Carlton's revolting crime has shocked the entire world and if death does not overtake the murderer, who took poison after his crime, the severest punishment of the law should be justly meted out to him. Capital punishment is not a part of the statutes in Wisconsin but a lifetime in prison will remove this inhuman wretch from the sight of the world. Frank Long Murdered. Saturday night the people in the vicinity of 50th and State were thrown into an uproar when a man Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY COURTESY CHICAGO DAILY NEWS. Policeman Is Killed The most sensational case was the murder of Policeman Trumbull early Monday morning by Simon Hogan. He shot the policeman at 26th and State streets and was trapped in a building at 3800 State street, where he had run for refuge. A score of policemen surrounded the house armed with rifles. For two hours they riddled the house with bullets. Before Hogan surrendered, two more policemen were wounded. Several had narrow escapes from being shot by rifles in the hands of comrades. The slayer, Simon Hogan, of 3115 Federal street, attacked Mrs. Ella Miller in her home at 2545 South State street, because she refused to give him $1. She got Mr. John J. Peterson, 6'22 Aberdeen street, whose serious injury in a Santa Fe train wreck near Bakersfield, Cal., was published in the Chicago last week, was brought to his Sunday morning. His back is badly sprained and he is suffering from other bruises. Skilled physicians are in attendance and the tender nursing of his wife speak well for a rapid recovery.

Medinah Temple was the center of attraction on Tuesday evening with buyers, modistes and persons interested in the fashionable line of gowns. Though the times seem hard our modistes among whom were the Madams Robert Hurd, Joanette Wiley, Josephine Davis and Mdme. Roberts, were busily engaged studying out different plans to enable them to suit their many customers. The military style will be the predominating feature of the present season. Basque dresses, flowing capes, roomy coats, jaunty hats with little trimming are the latest for our American women's taste. Suits typical of Germany with a military touch, costumes modeled after the uniform of the French soldiers and by adding a little fur to the hats and coats will exemplify Russia in our dress. According to our modistes silk will be used more than ever before on the winter costumes. Velvet and numerous variations of dark colors such as colors in blue will predominate. Last night's style show in which over two hundred and fifty different models were shown is supposed to be the greatest style show ever held in the world. Every model was an American creation, designed and manufactured in Chicago. Ninety per cent of the goods used in making the costumes was manufactured in the U. S. Hence our Chicago women will know where and to whom to go to and have themselves stylishly attired for season. ```markdown ``` Group at Reception Given Vincent Morgan, Candidate for District Attorney.

The porters, feeling more at liberty to discuss their grievances, cite another injustice. They claim that men of a few years of service, even practically new men, receive the same pay as those who have been in the service thirty and forty years. Increased wages and more consideration in the line of work is the plea of these old veterans. Instruct the Conductors.

From all indications, a circuit of Afro-American playhouses, covering New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Jacksonville, St. Louis, Kansas, Richmond and Norfolk. At this time the plans are of a tentative nature, although more tangible developments are expected before the inaugural of another season. For a long time there has been talk of a colored circuit, but something always bobbled up to keep it from becoming a reality. The interest is at fever point now and with the right kind of influence back of the movement there should be something doing before long. There are plenty of theaters available for the culmination of the project and sufficient colored population in the cities mentioned to give the proper paying patronage. Just what the interest will be is a matter for future development. It would probably be a half week of vaudeville, with traveling combinations booked in the remainder of the weeks. If the circuit materializes there will be great rejoicing among the numerous colored acts and players who are forced to remain idle half of the playing season. Photo Plays. "Uncle Remus" Visit to New York" is most pretentious, beautiful screen version based on the life of the famous "Uncle Remus." The story was written and staged under the personal direction of Hunter C. Haynes, America's foremost colored motion picture producer. The production has taken with the general public, and is reasonably sure to prove a big drawing card wherever it is shown. It was shown at the Phoenix this week and drew large crowds.

A Discussion of the Attempts of Mr. Leashman, Head of the Commission of the State of California, to Force the Mighty Pullman Company to Pay Its Porters More Wages. By 2. Withers. Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 21.—To the Editor:—Surely we are reminded of this unequal contest when we read in our daily journals a few days ago of a Mr. Leashman, head of the railroad commission for the state of California, attempting to force the mighty Pullman Co. into paying its porters more wages. This is surely a herculean task when you begin to think about it. We applaud the noble David for his courageousness, as his is a mighty task. He might just as well install a few hydraulic pumps and attempt to drain the ocean dry, remembering that California is washed by a great ocean. For the benefit of Mr. Leashman's knowing we will kindly venture a few thoughts. Suppose that he possessed ten thousand tons of hay or possibly some other article of merchandise and there were only one market available and those who were commissioners there were modern business men, what would be the value of his hay? The answer is, the other fellow's price. To get the value of the hay, even its cost of production, it is first necessary to secure available markets in which to dispose of such product. According to economic theory, every article produced represents labor plus material and labor, therefore, it is a part of every product. The purchase price of every product depends upon commercial demand. Without a demand for a product there is no market. That principle is true of land and everything produced from the land; of course it requires labor to produce every article of human need. Our point is simply this, the first thing which our David must do in order to increase the value of the product of Afro-American labor, is to secure another market for it. Can he do that? If so the Twentieth Century gives us another illustrious man whom history should justly reward with equal rank with her greatest sons. Can this noble man say to labor unions and to the captains of industry: "Open thou, ye gates, and let the despised enter, unto him shall be given freedom to labor." We have heard of the proverb, "There are places where angels fear to tread." Is our David bold enough to forsake the forces which are behind him and go forth boldly and assail the enemies of moral and social welfare? Read and learn, we would add. The Pullman Company is no more to be despised for purchasing all that it can for its American dollars than any other corporation. Afro-American labor is purchased for little not because it has no value, but because for it there is no market, except the present one. Enacting statutory prohibition against "the tip" does not reach the question and cannot any more than human agency can drain the ocean of its mighty contents. --- The tip system is a part of our economic system and justly finds its seat in our elementary system of law. Like an ulcer upon the body, it is that part of the poison from within whose outward indications are ugly, and we hate it. We can't cure the disease from without; our scientists tell us that blood disease requires more heroic treatment. Any condition which exists fundamentally within the body from that standpoint, we must attempt its eradication. A large part not only of the Afro-American labor, but the white labor gives the indication of the tip disease. Follow the current of events from medieval days and we will find feudalism, the profit system and the tip system universally recognized and practiced by state and nobility. We have incorporated all these principles into our laws. Why hurt against defenseless men a defenseless system, the strong against the weak in the attempt to gain moral rectitude? The same man who decries the tip seeks to gain 10, 20 and 30 per cent on each dollar that he invests. If it be a factory product, the mill or the soil, the same selfishness evidences itself. Ingratitude enacted into law inevitably will have the same end—SOCIAL REVOLTION. THE PASSING OF BARNEY Despite the care and attention of his owner, Mrs. Charles A. Jordan, together with a veterinary surgeon, Barney, a great collie of nine years, died Sunday afternoon. Barney was well known around 37th and Prairie avenue, near which the Jordan home is located, and it was a common sight to see Mrs. Jordan and Barney out late at night for an aliring. Before the well-known "Charile" Jordan was married he presented a puppy to his flancee, and ever since he has been one of the family, and during Mr. Jordan's necessary absences from home, Barney was often her sole companion and seemed to be aware of his position. At one time the faithful collie was "arrested," and when Mrs. Jordan had him released from the pound it was impossible to persuade a street car crew to let Barney ride, and taxicabs were not so well known. Mrs. Jordan had a ten-mile walk to her home, but she saved Barney. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER News of the Churches ST. MARY'S A. M. E. CHURCH. Services: 10:45 a. m., 7:45 p. m.

ZION CHURCH The threatening weather on last Sunday morning was the cause of a small attendance, but our pastor, Dr. Callis, preached a great sermon on the "Foundation of the Christian Faith." We have heard him to good advantage, many times, but those who did not hear him on last Sunday morning missed a great treat. Our class meeting on last Friday evening was largely attended and was greatly enjoyed. The committee on field day reports a splendid program is being arranged, two of the best Sunday School baseball teams will play; there will be athletic games of all kinds, also a band concert. Do not forget the day, September 10. Sunday our pastor will preach. Subject: "The Promise Kept," at 11 a.m., and at 7:45 p. m. he will preach on the war in Europe.

The services on last Sunday were well attended. At 10:45 the pastor preached from Ps. 31:19. Oh! how great is thy goodness. After the sermon Dr. Judson S. Hill spoke of his work at Morristown Academy and it was very interesting. The attendance of Sunday School on last Sunday was not as large as usual owing to the rain, but 135 were present and collection was $5.16. Devotional exercises on last Sunday were very impressive on account of the Bible drill and graduation of the junior league, the graduates being Misses Mina Jones, Gladys Kegler, Lucille Robinson, Hazel Wilburn, Eulaha Carette.

JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH St. John at this season of the year is likened unto a golden field of grain, ready for the harvest. For eleven long months this little church in this part of God's earthly sanctuary has been watered and nourished by the drippings of dew drops from heaven and protected by the Almighty's omnipotent hand. Now stands God-fearing little company as firm as a rock, looking forth to the annual conference with joyful anticipations. Their noble leader, pastor and preacher, Dr. R. E. Wilson, has all confidence in his members to believe that they are going to assist him in closing this year's work as beautifully as it was begun. St. John has never failed, and there are less signs of her falling now, for she is in her prime—a new building to be erected soon. "Dollar money" envelopes are now in the hands of every member. Dr. Wilson is hoping that the friends of the church will also assist in this important part of the year's work. ST. LUKE M. E. CHURCH. Starting at the usual hour Sunday the services were well attended. The evening service was one of the best held in St. Luke for some time. The house was crowded and the pastor, well rested after having had a short vacation, preached with such power and earnestness that one was constrained to change his ways and follow the Master. The Sunday school has not been up to the standard for the past two Sundays. Will the parents kindly let the children attend if they do not?

Church Observes Annual "Old Folks' Day"—109 Attend Festivities in Their Honor—Two Over 100 Years Old. MANY SHED TEARS AT IMPRESSIVE SERVICE. Old People Recite Experiences and Feeble Voices Join in Singing— Elaborate Dinner Follows—Citizens Loan Automobiles for Occasion. Special to The Chicago Defender. Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 21—There was a unique gathering of people at the First A. M. E. church, Eighth and Towne avenue, a few mornings ago—the young, the strong and the prosperous portion of the congregation stood at the wide-open doors of the spacious edifice and welcomed to them midday and midnight the paralytic, who were brought in on the arms of vigorous young men or lifted in their roller chairs and wheeled into the church. Nineteen automobiles stood before the door, seventeen of which were owned by Afro-American citizens who had been busy all the morning gathering up these dependent ones, two of whom were more than a hundred years old, the entire number being 109 in all, whom they had brought to the beautifully decorated church to be entertained in this memorable Old Folks' day, held at this place annually. Aged People Paid Tribute. After the singing of the old hymns chosen to suit the occasion a forceful prayer was offered up by the Rev. E. F. Henderson replete with fervor and eloquence. Crackel and weaker are the voices that chanted to respond to the commands by the Rev. N. P. Gregs, the able pastor who in his germain paid a glowing tribute to the old mothers and fathers to whom this generation of Afro-Americans owes so much; they who had labored early and late that their children might be able to take advantage of the opportunities that freedom afforded. There was scarcely a dry eye during these reminiscences and the speaker turned from the mournful past to a contemplation of the future rest that awaited those faithful old souls in another world, closing with the eloquent words of the Apostle Paul, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course. I am now ready to be offered up." Elaborate Dinner Served. At the close of the sermon, while the choir sang the old, familiar plantation hymn, "Steal Away," the old people were carried to the dining room at the rear of the church and given an excellent dinner consisting of boiled ham, roast beef, roast lamb, fricassee chicken, mashed potatoes, radishes, pickles, vegetable salad, ice cream, cake, tea and coffee. At the conclusion of the meal the guests were brought to the steps of the church and arranged by W. H. Spigner, an Afro-American photographer, after the above photograph, after which they were taken back into the church, where they held a stirring testimonial meeting, their tearful voices filled with the fullness of gratitude to God and their fellows for the homage which they had received. The natural eloquence which these old, extemporaneous speakers displayed gave promise of the fulfillment of the prophecy on the part of close students of the race that some of the most powerful orators of the future will emanate from this people. Guests Taken Home in Autos. An hour later, the automobiles having arrived, the members of the stewardess' board and their auxiliary, whose energetic efforts had made this entertainment possible, collected the cloaks and wraps of their guests and tenderly placed them about their aged shoulders, assisting them with the aid of the men of the congregation to the seats in the waiting machines that took them back rejoicing to their various homes. Following are the names of the members of the stewardess' board and their auxiliary: Muntes, Tucker, Motley, A. Williams, E. Morton, R. S. Washington, G. Whitley, J. Calvin, E. Warner, A. Danforth, S. Shores, A. Martinez, E. J. Alexander, S. Tanner, J. Felix, S. Blair and Miss Ruth Leishy. The names of the Afro-American citizens who donated their automobiles for the occasion were: F. J. Shackelford, J. H. Shackelford, C. Darden, G. Gordon, C. Bloedget, J. S. G. G. G. G. Roberts, R. Roberts, L. Stovall, R. C. Ceruti, E. Walker, T. Posey, Smith-Williams company and Mrs. H. L. Jones. MRS. S. O. SCOBY OFF FOR A REST Miss S. O. Scoby, secretary of Mt. Glenwood Cemetery Association, left for all points in Iowa in her touring car for a ten days' rest and vacation.

Your Attention to a Little Matter o Considerable Importance—The Story of the Pink Slip. For more than two weeks we have been kept busy each day in sending out first class notices to our subcribers. We expect more than two more weeks to chape before we go over our entire list. Therefore those who have not received their may expect to. Now, we ask that you be kind enough to treat this matter in a business like way. That is, if you are prepared to pay, act as you are requested to on the pink slip, if you are not prepared, spend enough of your valuable time to drop us a line or two and let us know when you will meet your obligations. Again if you do not care to subscribe longer it is just as easy as you do. If you desire your name taken off of our mailing list. Above all we ask that you do not treat this note with silence and then when your name is suspended on our list because of non-payment you become indignant and forgetting that you have received such a notice you complain of the failure of the office to apprise you of the fact. DID YOU SEE THAT DOG? The carcass of a dog laid on Wabash avenue in front of $330 for one whole week. Inquiry enlisted the fact that repeated complaint had been made to the police and to the street department, but no attention was paid to the matter. Even the street cleaner in charge of that block complained about the decomposed body that caused doors to be closed in the summer time. Would such conditions be tolerated on Michigan avenue? IN THE POLITICAL WORLD. (By Cary B. Lewis.) The political pot is boiling—it's at its highest point. Never before in the history of Chicago have there been so many candidates to enter the field for nomination of officers. From county judge down to the smallest elective office, there are from five to ten men in the race for one office. The field is so crowded that the reading public does not know who they are, and what office they are running for. A card is seen here and there—some new recruit for office. No one knows his record, ability or character. The Afro-American vote has and will play a conspicuous part in the election of all candidates. How best shall these announced candidates reach the people? The answer is through the press. Recent political intelligence has proven that the expenditure of money in the hands of a few glutton ward heels doesn't deliver the goods. That the best way to get results is to insert ads in reputable newspapers that have power, influence and circulation. The Defender reaches 30,000 voters, goes into the best homes of the city, is sold on the elevated stations, and at 200 newsstands. It gets results. Watch it and keep posted on all political matters. During all campaigns the Afro-American has taken a prominent part. He has voted for his friends, both Democratic and Republican. The majority have been Republicans, and upon the latter ticket he has been sent to the legislature. Hon. Edward H. Morris, Dr. Lane, Edward D. Green, "Indignation" Jones, R. R. Jackson and a host of others have been to the legislature and won fame and added luster to their names. Oscar De Priest. Frank Leland and others have been elected to Cook County Commissioners' Board. For these same offices Afro-Americans have announced themselves candidates for office. Of the ten or more who are candidates, only two have publicly used the columns of The Defender to do so. It's now time to act. Thousands of intelligent voters depend upon the press to get information. Second and Third Wards Battle ground The second and third wards will be the battleground for the Afro-American candidates and here is where their strength is chiefly. These wards are often referred to as the "Black Belt" of Chicago. Here is where The Defender has its largest circulation. Prominent Men to Run. Three prominent men have announced themselves, so political rumor runs. One is a lawyer of recognized standing at the Chicago bar; one a business man of highest integrity, and the other one of the leading physicians of the race. One has cast his lot with the regular Republican organization, the other with the Citizens' ticket, and the third with the Progressives. Who will be the lucky nominee remains to most good is publicity. be seen. That which will do each the O Do Cure A Special Tour Requisite for PERSPIRATION Use to follow the bank.

The race must have a member in the legislature. Past events have proven that if the race is not represented many bills 'abridging the rights of Afro-Americanans in the Grand Old State of Illinois will be presented and passed. It therefore behooves every voter to "sit tight and don't rock the boat," when his fellow brother is asking and pleading for votes. Were it not for an Afro-American member of the legislature just passed to be a law-maker of this state, many iniquitous bills would have been on the statutes of this state. The Defender contends that the race should have representation in all civic bodies, but let it be where it is mostly needed. Young Voter to Be Reached. During this campaign the young voter is to be reached, and this will be by means of intelligently presenting to him the right men for public office. No longer does the young voter of today have faith in the old ward heeler, who has sold out his heart, conscience and race. This kind of would-be leader no longer has power or influence. Every young voter knows this stripe of politician—they have played out—they have had their day. Ten thousand young men and first voters are to be reached through intelligent and honorable means, but never by known grafters. Candidates, beware of grafters and leeches. Importance of Registration. It is most important for every man and citizen twenty-one years of age, to see that his name is upon the registration book of his ward and precinct. No man can vote unless he has registered. September 9 is registration day. Don't to register. This is of prime importance. Don't say, "I'll do it," and then put it off. There is too much at stake this fall for election day to be held, and your name "NOT WRITTEN THERE." ENTERTAIN IN HONOR OF ALABAMA TEACHERS Miss Gertrude Glenn and Mrs. E. A. Williams Give Elaborate Entertainment This Week. Miss Gertrude Glenn and her sister, Mrs. E. A. Williams, of 3403 Forest avenue, entertained Saturday evening, August 8, in a most brilliant way, three visiting friends and former co-workers of Miss Glenn; Miss Wilma Byrd, Miss Elizabeth McClanahan and Miss Effie McCoy. The young ladies are teachers in the public school of Birmingham, Ala. Those present aside from the honorees were: Miss Harrison, Miss Arthur L. Davis, Dr. James F. Lawson, Dr. Chas. Lewis, Miss Ethel Spence, Miss Mary Walker, Dr. Hawkins, Mr. Hackney, Miss De Labasteid, Miss Frazier, Miss Edith Hill, the Misses Strayhorn, Lawyer Anderson, Mrs. McIntyre and Lawyer W. A. McIntyre. Special guests were: Mr. Chas. Steinbrecher and his two charming and accomplished nieces, Mrs. Winter and Mrs. Langworthy of River Forest. In the early part of the evening the guests were held spellbound by the wonderful voice of Mrs. Winter and that of Mr. Hackney, whose reputation as an artist is well established. As the evening wore on, in spite of having been lifted into the world of classics by the two artists present, most of the guests could not refrain from "tripping the light fantastic" to the tune of "popular airs so skillfully played by Miss Walker. And as some one appropriately quoted at the close of the evening, "They just had one scrumptious time." DR. G. U. JAMESON HERE. Dr. G. U. Jameson of Texarkana, Texas, is in the city, the guest of his brother, G. L. Jameson, 3411 Calumet avenue, a postal clerk. He will be here ten days. The doctor is a graduate of the medical department of the University of Illinois. Office Phones: Res. 5133 So. Wabash Ave. Oakland 4662, Auto. 73-058 Phone Dreskel 6815 Dr. Theo. R.

SHOW MANAGER DIES IN NEW YORK Noted Press Agent Dies from Accidental Death—Was Peer of the Professional—Known in America and England and Looked Upon as an Authority by Broadway Magnates. LEAVES WIFE AND SISTER TO MOURN LOSS. Was Manager of Pekin Theatre—Charter Member of Frogs—Educated at Claflin University. A telegram was received at The Defender office this Tuesday which read, "Sam Corker died last night from accidental death." This tells the story of the untimely demise of one of the most remarkable young men of the race. As a theatrical manager he stood at the top of his class. New York magnates put him in the class of Chas. Hicks. "Sammie," as he was well and favorably known among his intimate associates, who were Cole and Johnson, "Bert". Williams, George Walker and others, was brilliant, studious, suave and a Chesterfieldian in the strictest sense. He was born in Charleston, S. C., and came from the best parents of that city and state. He was educated at Claflin university NOTED ORATOR AND FEAR RACE CHAMPION CAN NOTED ORATOR AND FEARLESS RACE CHAMPION CANDIDATE FOR LEGISLATURE 72 Honorable Adelbert H. Roberts. Honorable Adelbert H. Roberts is a candidate for the Republican nomination to the legislature at the September primaries from the First Senatorial District. The people of the district, and the colored people in particular, are exceedingly fortunate in having an opportunity to send to Springfield at this time such a splendid type of citizenship is embodied in the life, character and attainments of Mr. Roberts. He is a man of striking personality and of national importance. It would be difficult to find in all this great city a more suitable man to represent this district in the state legislature than Mr. Roberts. He is a man of unsullied character, unquestioned ability, a natural and cultivated orator, and a fearless champion of the best interests of the colored people. He has a long and splendid public record in church and state, as a Christian gentleman, a brilliant and powerful advocate of Republican principles, and for twenty years has participated, and prominently in countless movements for the general --- --- THE CHICAGO DEFENDER the race and state demand that the acquainted with conditions, there-district are urged to re-elect Major. He made a splendid record during your support. and was a classmate of Editor R. S. Abbott. He went to New York and learned the game of advertising shows and concerts. He exhibited such fine talent for this work that he was employed by one of the firms that sent out Cole and Johnson. He made all the big cities and came in touch with the brains of the theatrical profession and being liberally educated by travel and experience was able to do much toward solving the race problem. In being the advance business manager of "A Trip to Coontown" and the "Red Moon" company of Cole and Johnson, he made a record for the race on Broadway, New York, that will live for many a day. He came to Chicago to take charge of the Pekin theatre and remained here until the death of the late "Bob" Motts. Under his management here the Pekin was a big success. He returned to New York City until death overtook him this week. He was a charter member of the "Frogs," a theatrical society of that city. Mr. Corker leaves a sister and father who reside at Charleston. His loss will be mourned by a host of business and professional friends. The Defender extends its sympathy to the bereaved father and sister. THE SEAMES GO FISHING. Buchanan, Va., Aug. 21. (Special.) Early this week your correspondent encountered Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Seames, of 3249 Forest avenue, Chicago. They are spending their vacation here and spend their time fishing and playing tennis. They send their greetings to the tennis and croquet players in Chicago and invite them to join them at their camp along the James river in the Blue Ridge Mountains. LESS CANDIDATE FOR LEGISLATURE uplift of his race in this and other communities. His election would be a distinct contribution to constructive legislation at Springfield and would fittingly represent the best brain and character of the colored people of the state of Illinois. The inferior of none, and the equal of any, a tried and trusted leader, Mr. Roberts in the Illinois legislature would reflect credit and honor upon the whole colored race. All who honestly wish the best interests of the colored race wisely safeguarded at Springfield should vote for Mr. Roberts September 9, and urge their friends to do so. Mr. Roberts not only has the knowledge of what to do at Springfield, but he has the character and the courage to do it. The times are too critical to trust our interests at Springfield to any save the strongest and truest of our race. Now is the opportunity to give due honor to the man who has so faithfully served his race and party for so many years. Adelbert H. Roberts is the man for Springfield. He will honor the whites as well as the blacks. Let everybody pull together for Roberts and the race. --- EDWARD R. LITZINGER FOR COUNTY TREASURER The nomination by the Committee of 200, representing the Republican party of Cook county, of Edward R. Litzinger for county treasurer marks a new era in the selection of useful servants for public office. Mr. Litzinger was born in Chicago September 19, 1874; graduated from the Holden public school, and for a number of years attended the Y. M. C. A. night classes. He pursued his legal studies in the Kent College of Law and was admitted to the bar in 1698, since which time he has built an extensive law practice under the firm name of Litzinger, McGurn & Reed. He is a member of the Bar Association, vice president and director of the Southwest Trust and Savings Bank, president of the United States Tent and Awning Company. His political career has not been very long, but during his short tenure of office as alderman of the Fifth Ward he participated in and succeeded in having made into laws a number of useful ordinances affecting the interests of Chicago. Edward R. Litzinger is well known among the older of the Afro-Americans of this city as a famous amateur ball player, having played with the old Union Giants back in the early days of the beginning of baseball history in this city. For many years he played second base for the rivals in the old City League; later was captain of Mandel Brothers, and assisted in the winning of a championship of the Mercantile League. He organized the first amateur baseball association of Chicago, and for seven years was its president. He no doubt has grown out of the minds of a large majority of the Afro-American people by reason of his marvelous and unusual success in the business and professional world. The voters are, however, fortunate in being reminded of the fact that he is the same Edward R. Litzinger that he was in former days, notwithstanding Edward R. Litzinger. through honest and courageous efforts he has succeeded in garnering considerable of this world's goods. His heart, nevertheless, beats warm for all mankind, regardless of race, color or creed. As county treasurer the Afro-American voters can expect of him to restore that office to the former spirit of Republicanism which predominated in former years, and through the restoration of such spirit the Afro-American voters will inevitably come into their own. Mr. Litzinger comes of an old respected German family and was born amid poverty and ill luck, which enables him to appreciate the poor and working class of people. He is highly and favorably spoken of by the leading Afro-American business and professional men of Chicago. He is recommended to the Afro-American voters by such men of the legal and business fraternity as Attorney E. H. Morris, Colonel Franklin A. Denison, Hon. Louis B. Anderson, W. W. Johnson, J. R. Auter, James A. Scott, Walter M. Farmer, Charles A. Ward, H. M. Porter, ex-County Commissioner Oscar De Priest, ex-Representative Edward E. Green, George O. Jones, S. Laing Williams, Edward E. Alexander, Dr. M. J. Brown, Frank L. Hamilton, Geo. W. Holt and others. VISITORS ENTERTAINED. Mrs. Malissa Dorsey and Mrs. J. W. Hardy of Kansas City, Kan., mother and sister of Mrs. John Ferguson, 3261 Rudodes avenue, were tendered a reception on last Thursday evening from 8 to 12.

The type of diversion for the decorous and unsophisticated strollers, a type of cabaret performers diversion in which any improvement is a matter of congratulation. Although the premier trap drummer of the Elite famous orchestra, Don D. CanSby, improves daily, doing a solo on the only steel maranaphone on the stroll. Although dominated by that smiling venus, Miss Sallie Lee Johnstone, a brash chanteuse with an impudent sense of humor. Mr. Oscar Holden, pianist, formerly of the Elwood cafe, is at the Plaza cafe handling the ivory. He is a master at the music box. Miss Rebecca Allen continues to please her distinct clientele that visit popular retreat with the latest songs and music. Madame M. Salsey Ethiopia, leading romantic and emotional actress, will take the leading roles in the cast of great classic play called "Ahjigh," which will be staged in the near future. Julius Glenn, starring in Darktown Follies at the Haymarket theater, brings us back to the old time burlesque when it had something classical and jauny, sometimes gracefully reprehensible, but always of a brisk kind of piquancy and literature, done in verse, oftimes in most delightful rhyme, and it had hidden depths of satire, cynicism and rare humor. The dancing of the damsels shows the best dancing chorus ever played at the Haymarket theater, considerable noise was being provided by the girls in costumes as well as vocalization. I pronounce the Darktown Follies "a progressive burlesque." See it, to suffice. Miss Estella De Haien, formerly of the original "Abjah" cast, will join the company here rehearsing. She is very clever. AT THE PANAMA. Mr. George Hall, Mr. Olive Power and Miss Walker and Blondy are entertaining at the Panama nightly. CHAS. YOUNG AT RUSSELL'S CAFE Chas.

CARNIVAL ed to the bottom with the full strength of the national organization behind them. Well, that's neither here nor there, what I started to say was never did Barnum and Bailey in their palest days offer a more attractive entertainment than is promised for this affair. And the price, I'm really ashamed to tell you it's so ridiculously low—15 cents. Think of it. Fifteen cents admits you to everything. Why, the baby booth alone is worth double the money. There will be more varieties of kidlets than Heinz has pickles. Oriental maidens, imported before the war, will mingle with the gala throng and escort you to their booth of wonders from the old world. In stall 22 will be exhibited the wonderful two-headed animal, similar to a little bull. The mystery booth, presided over by the seventh daughters of the seventh sons, spooks, beogle men and other weird critters, are brought down or up from some unknown region and made to act like human—and still the price remains 15 cents. Something like fifty policemen have been detailed for the people in line to the live "doll" rack, where 'tis said prominent dolls, as Harry Garnes, Ralph McKinley, Walter George, "Prit Harl, Clark, Harry Boger, "Prit Harl, Bert Anderson, George Hall and others will pose and huge rubber balls at three for five will be sold to throw at them. And who wouldn't have their fortune told if they could sit in a cozy, dimly lighted wigwam, and have some fairy-like mortal hold your hand, look up into your eyes and whisper that you were going on a long journey, or that you were going to hear from someone you were very fond of real soon? Right then you feel like lingering longer, but the next customer is waiting and reluctantly you drift out with the crowd. There's the candy booth, the flower booth, ice cream in dishes and ice cream in cones, delicious red-hots, with or without mustard and lord only knows what not these people haven't thought of to put under this tent, and I believe I remarked that the price was but 15 cents. Ordinarily you would feel that you had your money's worth and then some. But if you will hark back to your younger days, when you attended the big three-ring circus in the small town in which you lived, you will recall at the close of the performance, the ring master stepping forward and announcing that the show was not half over, to keep your seats for the big concert which would immediately follow, the price of which would be but 10 cents. So with this carnival; just when you feel that surely there can be nothing more for your 15 cents, comes this all-star concert, and where under any roof has been gathered such a galaxy of renowned artists? Mime, Patti Brown, Mrs. Marie Burton-Hymilian, Miss Maud Roberts, Mr. Charles Settles, Mr. George Garner Jr., Mrs. P. Blair, Miss Margaret Morgan; in Grecian dance, Mr. Frank P. George, Miss Gertrude Jackson, George Hall, Canta Day, Marie P. Merrill, Mrs. Fanny Hall-Chint and Miss Ophia Wells, and hosts of others equally as prominent. To add to the splendor of the occasion the famous 8th Regiment band will discourse sweet music throughout Friday evening while the Odd Fellows' band, an organization of musicians who have made an enviable reputation, will do likewise Saturday evening. So there promises to be mirth, melody and music米ore. Of course, you knew that Miss Irene McCoy was the lucky young lady in the Chicago popularity contest. Well, she is to be presented the beautiful diamond ring that there be a jam? Don't mention it. That "Come early and avoid the rush" adage will be in line. I nearly forgot to mention the big wind-up meeting Sunday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, Dr. Charles E. Bentley will preside and noted speakers from all parts of the country will be present and a chamber concert of exceptional excellence will be given. Really, I can't just think of half the things they are going to do. I belong to half the lodges and organizations in Chicago and they are all going to take part and have me assigned to so many committees that I don't know whether I'm afoot or ahorseback. However, I can see it's going to be a howling success and I'm willing to do my share to help push the thing along. Well, I must be going; sorry I couldn't stop awhile and chat with you. If I don't see you till then, be sure and meet me at the N. A. C. P. carnival; you won't forget the date, the 28th and 29th of August, and the place, on the corner of Wabash avenue and 36th place.

It is now conceded that Poston and Jones are professional ball players. Eighteen strike-outs was Poston's record Sunday in nine innings, averaging two strike-outs per inning. And, too, it must be conceded that St. Louis has a fine team of trained players. Cansler made a running catch which was spectacular. Captain Wright and Mitchell and Lonnie Jones did effective batting. The St. Louis boys could not find Poston. They are very swift, however, when given a chance. St. Louis made one home run, sending the ball over the fence. * * The rain interfered with the Sunday school picnic here last Thursday, disappointing the children. * * Has anybody here seen Sugar lately?

Sends for Brother Policemen George Trumbull, Hall and Price approached the building as Hogan was leaving. Without any preliminaries Hogan shot Trumbull and fled. Miss Irene Sampson of 2600 South State street, who was in a chop suey restaurant, ran out when she heard the shooting. "Please hold up my head. I am dying." Trumbull said to her. He died on the way to Wesley hospital. Hogan made his way to a rooming-house run by Mrs. Julia Robinson at 3800 South State street. He told her he had shot a man and sent her to his brother. The police traced him to the house, Policeman Michael McPadden went up the rear steps and tried to open the door to the second floor. As he did so Hogan fired twice, striking him in the groin and hand. Hogan in Surrender Rifles then were sent for and the siege began. While the firing was going on Cornellus Shipp and his wife, asleep in a front room, ran to the window and asked the police to stop firing. They climbed down a ladder to safety. Mrs. Cora King and Mr. Wm. Carroll were also in the flat. Mrs. King braved the bullets of the police and went to the door and told them where Hogan was. It seems very strange that when Officer McFadden telephoned for aid that Captain Coughlin should at once think of rifles and when with overwhelming numbers he reached the easily accessible refuge of the murderer that he would have to jeopardize the lives of two women and a baby and to capture one lone man. When Capt. Coughlin ordered his men, who entirely surrounded the frail frame structure and some of his sharpshooters took aim from the second story windows of the house across the street he had no means of knowing who was in that flat. Surely he did not think that the man was in front of those three side windows and the three front ones at the same time. Yet he ordered his minions to fire through every one of them. Riddle House with Bullets. The reckless use of fire arms in this case was the most outrageous action ever heard of in a civilized city. Even in the swamps of Mississippi the crackers never shoot until they know only the party wanted is concealed in barn or cabin. Some have seen fit to criticize the action of the police individually, but the score of men who surrounded that house early Monday morning were acting under the orders of a captain, the highest police official next to Chief Gleason and his two assistants. Like the soldiers in the ranks, they must fire at command. Never before in the history of the police department have such drastic measures been used to capture one man with the odds so greatly against him. On the other hand, there are cases on record where single-handed or in pairs members of this self same department have captured more desperate and more heavily armed men than Hogan. That bullet-ridden flat reflects no credit to valor of the police department but will always be a silent reminder of the night the police department ran wild like some cowboys on a rampage. Finally one of the policemen struck Hogan in the hand with a rifle bullet. He threw his revolver and an electric flashlight from the window and walked downstairs with his uninjured hand held up as a sign of surrender. He was held to the grand jury at the inquest over Trumbull. Mrs. Cora Robinson said that Hogan had once roomed with her and had rented the flat for her as she is a widow. The Bill Smith Case. Older Chicagoans remember the "Bill Smith" case. This desperate man barricaded himself and the police beheaded him for more than a week. Night and day the house was surrounded by the armed guardians of the peace, but not a shot was fired at the house for fear of endangering the lives of others. Then, as now, the police department was composed of men of all races, but the commanding officers were men of different caliber.

An iron-clad rule of the company is that a porter must stick to a car no matter how long the time is. If it is one day or one month, if he leaves the car for food or water without being relieved he loses his job. Wreck Increase. Time was, said another, when a wreck occurred the claim agent would give the porter some consideration; now, and there is large increase in smashups, the porter is passed by.

Who is to blame for these conditions and who will remedy them? is the topic wherever railroad men congregate. The announcement of the next lecture in Chicago is eagerly awaited.

U., Dictates, But That Is All—Will Not Let Great Sprinter Run Under L. A. A. C. Club Colors, So Drew Declares He Will Not Run at All. LOS ANGELES BACKING HIM UP. All Coast Colleges, Athletic Clubs and Business Men Willing to Pull Out and Form Association of Their Own—West vs. East. By Frank A. Young. War is on—this time the athletic heads are at it. It is the East against the West and the Westerners are determined to have a fair deal or else. Howard Drew, the greatest of all the hundred-yard men that ever lived, is the cause of it all. Drew went East this summer to work while on his vacation and whatever meets that he entered he was to do so under the colors of the Los Angeles Athletic club. This the Eastern men did not like because he was a sure winner in at least two events, and to see ten points going to the coast club went against their grain. Friction of Long Standing. This trouble is not an upshot of a frenzied moment but it has been brewing for years and the East knows just about as much about the conditions and the affairs of the athletes out West as England did about the Colonies in 1775. The A. A. U. wants to dictate the affairs of its body for the benefit of those on the Atlantic side and the West has had their guns cocked and are plum full of fight and furthermore are ready to fire the first shot. You never can tell. The East went to sleep while Drew was at Springfield High and was winning everything in sight. They made a ruling so that he was unable to compete in the Harvard interscholastic. Then they went wild over the fact that he won from the Western boy, Craig (running under the Detroit Y. M. C. A.), and qualified as a member of the American Olympic team. When he went to the Old Country he hurt a tendon after winning in the semifinal against the world's best. Still, on his return, they did nothing to brag about. The people of his home burg went wild, and why shouldn't they? Didn't he and hadn't he advertised their city all over the world? Lots of us had forgotten that it was on the map. --- East Fast Asleep. Yet there was Harvard, Brown, Dartmouth and numerous other colleges and universities that could have had him, but no, they let him get away and next we hear of him he has passed the entrance examinations at the University of southern California. Now they are sore. All the talk was, why did he go out there? Simply because he could make a living and continue with his studies and track work. Drew went East with his team, composed of Kelly and another lad. They arrived in Philadelphia. The meet was held on a rainy day. Previous to this Drew made the century, equaling the world's record. Sullivan refused to it. Let it stand. Yet with all the evidence that it was made fair and nothing was wrong he still stuck to it. Arouses the Ire of West. At Philadelphia, Drew was chalked up in ten flat, although it was raining. Here, when questioned, Secretary James E. Sullivan said that on good conditions he believed that Drew might do better, notwithstanding the fact that he knew Drew made the hundred metres in nine and four-fifths seconds. Drew is working at the station in Springfield, Mass., as an usher and during the time when he can get away he takes part in athletic hems. He came Eust with the intentions of running under the colors of the Los Angeles Athletic club. Pressure was soon brought to bear that he should run for the New York Irish-American club, like the great Taylor. Drew remembered the loyalty that the Western people had shown him, also the way that the Irish-American club treated him in Chicago at the Central A. A. U. games, held at Grant Park last year, when they took the cup that should have belonged 40 him and afterward claimed it was the awarding committee's fault and not theirs. Drew was to have represented the Los Angeles club at Toronto, Canada. He wrote James E. Sullivan, but the latter declined to let him enter for the good of the cause. Moreover, he refused to let him run at Baltimore under the Western club's colors. Drew wired to Messrs. Comstock and Bird. Then he informed James E. Sullivan that he would flatly refuse to run at Baltimore whatsoever. Break Imminent Now the break seems certain. The Olympic club has long been dissatisfied. The A. A. U. wants to run the games at the Panama-Pacific exposition to suit themselves. The Los Angeles A. C., the Multnomah club of Portland, the Seattle club, University of California, University of Southern California, Pomona college and Washington university have assured Mr. Simons, present head of the A. A. U. branch that they will pull out and stick together, forming a new body. The newly formed state Prep. School union refuses to abide by or recognize the A. A. U. or any of its rules. The stage is set and we await news of the battle. Outcome Uncertain Just what will be the outcome of the revolt is uncertain. It may result in an organization running in opposition to the A. A. U. in the West. It may mean that the Western associations will simply split with the central body and refuse to be dominated by it until all the demands are satisfied. It may result in a wholesale compromise. But the Westerners are not in the Henry Clay mood. The definite action taken by the L. A. A. C. comes as near assuring a break as anything can. There are too many members of the Western associations of the A. A. U. joined with it, or willing to fall into line. James E. Suitman has been in charge so long that he has gotten dictatorial. One man can not be at the head forever. History has taught that heads of governments should change. The new enthusiasm, the new man is needed. Perhaps there lies the root of all the trouble. But the new movement in the West—the movement that rumbles like a civil war and spells a break like that of the W. A. A. in the automobile world is coming. It is here. The L. A. A. C. attitude assures it. At best the demanding of control by the West has only been a matter of time. The only question that has been decided is the time to strike. Drew's Statement. About the refusal of permission to go to Canada Drew says: "An attempt was made by the Canadians to secure me for their meet last year, but because of a previous engagement in Phil. delphia I was forced to turn them down. At that time, however, I promised them that I would surely be with them this year, as I expected no difficulty in securing a sanction. "When I wrote to Secretary Sullivan for the sanction I explained the matter fully, but he apparently did not consider it of sufficient weight. I am not satisfied with this decision, however, and will make every attempt possible to have the bar lifted "One of the principal reasons why I cannot compete at Baltimore is because of the necessity for reporting my studies at the University of Southern California as soon as possible after September 10. My round trip calls for passage over the Lake Shore line. It would be possible for me to continue along this route if I went to Toronto, but if I went to Baltimore I would be forced to take the Overland route to the coast, and my SPRINTER The bone of contention in the great athletic warfare that has stirred the entire country. Drew, the most unassuming of young men, has the courage to stand up for what he thinks is right. ticket would be worthless on that line. "Although the A. A. U. has contended all along that it wished to give the coast athletes every possible chance for national competition, they have shown poor judgment in putting off the Baltimore games until September 12. Most of the athletes out there attend college, and as many of them start classes about September 15, it will be impossible for them to come East and compete, as it will mean the loss of about two weeks' study. "I will be kept pretty busy from August 15, when I will run in New Bedford, until I go back to school. In regard to my meeting Charley Rice, the University of Maine spinner, every possible attempt was made by the Independence Day committee to get him to run me at Springfield July 4, but he could not be reached. "I figure that I have only a couple of more years to show at my best, and during this time I will not duck any one, but am willing to meet any man in the world in the short dash. I would like very much to meet Applegarth, the English champion, and I will, too, if I am allowed to go to Toronto. All the clubs of the city are invited to attend the N. A. A. P. C. carnival, August 28 and 29, at Thirty-sixth place and Wahaven ashore. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER of the S. P. A. of A. A. U. Weaver is iden- died Drew. All four are leaders in the club's SPORTING By Frank A. Young. Howard P. Drew will enter in six events the 22d at Bangor, Me. Drew and a host of other athletes are certainly doing their share to make this meet a successful one and it bears every indication at this time of being more than a financial success. It looks very much like the biggest athletic carnival that has ever been held in the Pine Tree state, all of which goes to show the popularity of the Indian mathoner, Andrew Sockale, who is now ill, and for whose benefit this meet is given. * * * Al Jackson, the great hurdler of Harvard, who graduated this year, has been appointed international Y. M. C. A. student-secretary of the South and Southwest and will shortly start his duties with headquarters in St. Louis. His work will be confined to race institutions of which there are vast numbers. Mr. Jackson was class orator at Harvard, also one of their best at the hurdles. Last winter he was set back as the result of a surgical operation, which greatly impaired his speed. He intends to keep up his hurdling, figuring that at the end of another year he will be over the effects of the operation. The promise that he showed before his operation makes it probable that he will be able to scale the bars close to record time. He will go back to Cambridge for a short time next spring to coach the hurdlers if his present plans turn out all right and he can break away from his duties. --- The Grace team won from the Second U.

Special to The Chicago Defender, Portland, Ore., Aug. 21.—Gus Williams, who is winning fame as shortstop on the Hubbard Portland Giants, was formerly a member of the Grace Presbyterian team of Chicago. Young Williams who has been here a little over a year has been doing such good work on the local team that the daily press credits him with being the greatest and fastest shortstop on the Pacific coast. In a talk with the writer the other day he deplored the losing streak of Grace, having kept informed of their work through The Chicago Defender and was particularly anxious that Captain Erwin, Baker and Motley should know of his work here.

War abroad, and in a recent issue of one of the South Side papers, war has evidently been declared on crooked and unscrubulous real estate brokers and property owners selling to Afro-Americans. This paper referred to states that their attention has been called to the fact that a number of people have lost their property because they did not have proper legal advice and that heirs sprang up later to claim the property, etc. During the last few days the editor of this paper had occasion to call at the office of Fred'k H. Bartlett & Co. and was impressed by the large number of people there buying property on the South Side. Upon inquiry, information was given that this last week was one of the best weeks in the sales department in the history of the company, which is accounted for by the war made on prices and terms at this particular time. Then, too, people are beginning to realize that their money is safer in real estate than in the bank. This company through its straight and legitimate dealings with people, has grown into the largest real estate concern in the city. They are the owners of every piece of property they offer for sale. Therefore, by dealing direct with this company, a person is able to save commission charges; also by dealing with this company, it is not necessary for the purchaser to have an attorney to examine the title of the property, as this company has one of the best law and conveyancing departments in the country. Furthermore, before they purchase any property, the title is guaranteed to them by the Chicago Title & Trust Co. to be good, and they in turn guarantee it to the purchaser with a clear title from the time the land was owned by the government. Therefore, it is not necessary to have an attorney when dealing with this company, as they make no charge for fees for examination of titles, etc., although if a person so desires and wishes to go to the expense, they may employ the best lawyer obtainable. We feel perfectly safe in recommending this company to the readers of our paper and refer you to their ad on the last page of this issue. ON THE NORTH SIDE. Mrs. Thos. W.

BUSINESS LEAGUE IN ANNUAL MEET AT MUSKOGEE Delegates Attend from All Parts of the United States—Muskogee Opens Heart and Home to Visiting Throng. WASHINGTON RE-ELECTED President Urges Race Not to Be Discouraged — Afro-American Using Automobile Instead of Mule—Racial Progress Noted. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Muskogee, Okla., Aug. 21.—Afro-American business men from all parts of the country were here this week to attend the annual meeting of the National Negro Business Men's League. Special trains and special Pullman cars, an idea planned by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the league and secretary of the institute at Tuskegee Institute, brought them by the hundreds. Muskogee gave them a royal welcome. Every home and heart said, "Welcome." The principal feature of the meeting was the address of Dr. Booker T. Washington, who was re-elected. His appeal to the delegates was one of wisdom, seasoned with intelligence and experience and observation. He closed by saying: "When 2,000,000 Afro-Americans of the Southwest have made the most of their opportunities and have let down their buckets deep into the earth and brought up the riches contained therein in the forms of cotton, corn, oats, wheat, potatoes, chickens, turkeys, hogs, horses, mules and cattle, they will be able to support in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma 1,000 more grocery stores owned by Afro-Americans. 500 additional dry goods stores. 300 more shoe stores. 200 more good restaurants and hostels. 300 additional millinery stores. 200 additional drug stores and 40 more banks. "Whenever we think of agricultural progress among members of the race we invariably associate it with the mule. The most modern vehicle for transportation is the automobile. It is doing almost as much for the race as the mule has done. The business man, the professional man, and the planner in all parts of the South are using the automobile. This has necessitated the building of good roads in every section of the South. The building of these roads has brought the country nearer the town and is carrying the town into the country. "The business and professional men have in the past few years made remarkable progress. Their progress in the future, however, is going to depend more and more upon the progress and development that the man who remains on the soil makes. As they acquire more land, raise more cotton and corn to the acre, raise more live stock and poultry, they will be able to support more banks, more drug stores, more dry goods stores and pay the teachers and preachers better salaries. "If there are those who are inclined to be discouraged concerning racial conditions in this country, we have but to turn our minds in the direction of the deplorable conditions in Europe growing largely out of racial bitterness and friction. When we contrast what has taken place there with the peaceful manner in which black people and white people are living together in this country, notwithstanding now and then there are evidences of injustice and friction which should always be condemned, we have the greatest cause for thanksgiving. Perhaps nowhere else in the world can be found so many white people living side by side with so many of dark skin in so much of peace and harmony as in the United States." PAGE SEVEN.

By Otis Gans Fletcher. Show me the glory and honor of war. Oh! nations great, I feign would see. Ere my country shall her own sons call for To fight for the honor of our own counter-y. Oh! men of wisdom, show me, I pray, Wherein is glory by shouldering arms? Wherein is honor from men that you slay? Show me the justice; I view with alarms. Make clear to me that to take life is right, For when duty calls to her I must fly, And at the command, unto death I must fight. Pray show me the glory for which I would die. Pray show not to me vainglory and might. Or commercial prestige that you seek to gain; Then call on thy subjects to battle and fight. To me this is murder from which man should refrain. Do not show me a purpose to retaliate, Nor a spirit created and born of revenge, Then call me to arms to you vindicate And by murderous assault your purpose defend. But show me a cause that is dearer than home; Show me a reason backed by God's mighty laws, So that my soul may not be left alone, If demanded of me whilst fighting your cause. DRIVE OUT THE BULLIES AND LOAFERS. THE DEFENDER IS STILL IN THE FIGHT for social and moral progress and asks the co-operation of the people of this city and everywhere in its support of law and order. There can be no justice without law or certain well defined principles for the conduct of all. We are unalterably opposed to the laxity of the law, which will tolerate within the commonwealth of Chicago or anywhere that class of citizens who are morally depraved and resort to the crime of murder. That the manifestation of law is lacking cannot be doubted when we find within peaceful and happy communities a class of men who because of their freedom have developed a passion for murder and wrong doing. We are malterably opposed to the laxity of the law, which will tolerate within the commonwealth of Chicago or anywhere that class of citizens who are morally depraved and resort to the crime of murder. That the manifestation of law is lacking cannot be doubted when we find within peaceful and happy communities a class of men who because of their freedom have developed a passion for murder and wrong doing. Our stand for law and order places us in the position where we must raise a voice in protest against lawlessness and crime. In accepting such a position we are opposed to evil doers, regardless of whoever they may be. And we plead for the support of the commonwealth as a body in a determined stand against crime. Let the guilty one bear the burden of his unhappy lot. Let him pay in compensation that which is most precious to him—perhaps his life. Let virtue and patriotism remain the cardinals of our social compact, until every man guilty of crime shall be brought to the bar of justice. We cannot plead a man's color as an extenuating circumstance for his misdeed, because that would be an admission of justification of wrong, while there is none. Now comes the time for thoughtful consideration. There is a lawless element which comes within our midst and from this class the cloud of shame overshadows us. Let the guilty one bear the burden of his unhappy lot. Let him pay in compensation that which is most precious to him—perhaps his life.

We cannot plead a man's color as an extenuating circumstance for his misdeed, because that would be an admission of justification of wrong, while there is none. Now comes the time for thoughtful consideration. There is a lawless element which comes within our midst and from this class the cloud of shame overshadows us. What are we going to do about it? We are going to stop it. And in this we ask the co-operation of YOU. Unfortunately the South has furnished us with this class, growing up under a system of abuses almost unbelievable. There is a large Afro-American population there and the question of misdirected energy finds its answer in shameless misdeeds and crimes committed by them in another state. In other words the crimes committed recently, shocking and brutal, by Afro-Americans in Chicago, are the acts of the immigrants from the Southland. The case of Simon Hogan and others equally infamous are the product of the seed sown in the far-off land of Jimcrowism. Lawless passion shall be curbed by the firm hand of the law. Vigilance of the police must be increased as we are being daily supplied with outside riffraff who seek our sunshine of happiness and who are unable to appreciate it. We ask no quarter for these malefactors of the law, rowdies, gun-carrying bullies and other worthless characters who infest our highways and hope that in the future the courts will give none.

We ask no quarter for these malefactors of the law, rowdies, gun-carrying bullies and other worthless characters who infest our highways and hope that in the future the courts will give none. Police vigilance should be doubled in our thickly populated neighborhoods not only to prevent crime, but to stop its instigation. In our plea for law and order we ask that the law of vagrancy be enforced and every undesirable, worthless character be driven from our midst. . --- This is a serious question to every law abiding citizen of this city and state and should be given its proper consideration. Afro-American loafers and criminals will not help the race nor the community in which they live. Let there be a movement put on foot to suppress this menace. Let us hear from you, if you are interested in the peace and happiness of your home. RECKLESSNESS OF OUR·POLICE. THE RESPECT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT depends solely upon the treatment of the different races that constitute our cosmopolitan city. Whenever unfairness, partiality and unlawful means are directed against any particular race the thundering howl of dissatisfaction and discontent is passed from ear to ear. The law directs that each and every citizen should assist in case of dire need, the police, that peace and order may prevail. The unfortunate affair of a lawless man killing a policeman is sincerely deplored. The worming stealth of the culprit from Twenty-sixth to Thirty-eighth street via the alley route was unfortunately successful. That peaceful entry could have been made there is no doubt, had calm, dispassionate minds directed the assault, instead of excited, prejudiced heads gaining control and ordering reckless and promiscuous shooting, which endangered innocent lives and demonstrated absolute disrespect for the homes of black people. Why so reckless an alternative, thou brother of the blue coat, star and club? You must not lose sight of the fact that you are the humble servant of the people, paid and sworn to protect against, and not incite crime. We cannot conceive that you would have attacked Lake Shore Drive residences likewise. The officer in charge needs the bulk of censure. He is solely responsible for the riddling of this residence with bullets without the slightest investigation but simply because a desperate man had been cornered and driven to bay. This particular morning gave the onlooker a pitiable sight to behold—half-nude women and men wrapped in blankets and ushered in the free-ride van of disgrace, merely because they were residents of a house temporarily sought by a desperate man taking forceful refuge. As we again say, emphatically so, we honestly deplore the action of the desperado, yet we cannot find an angle of excuse to satisfy fair reasoning why the police department should use such heinous forms of attack upon this residence of black people. We cannot condone the outrage. The home of a man is his castle says Blackstone, sacred against entry of this kind and it ought not to be tolerated. To put color and tone to the climax, after this unfortunate man had surrendered, throwing his gun into the street with wounded hands in mid-air, we see a brave bluecoat leveling his gun to commit a deliberate murder, were it not that a more thoughtful mind struck upward the barrel, which directed a wild report. The possibilities are we would have read in great big headlines—A Policeman Shot Man in Self Defense! Recently the city of New York has given to the world the corrupt methods, the sordid intrigues and vicious attacks of a police department. The city of Chicago is on the verge of similar exposures, the quicker the better; all that is needed is concertive action in dethroning this autocrat of the blue coat, star and club.

THE PULLMAN COMPANY AND ITS PORTERS. THE PULLMAN COMPANY HAS AT LAST REALIZED that the porter, next to the traveling public, is the biggest factor in their business. Evidently some new blood recently infused into the management or the "higher-ups" of one of America's richest corporations has told his associates that the long suffering porter is a human being. At any rate the recent agitation against tipping which brought to light the fact that Pullman Company porters were the poorest paid of any servants employed by the public carriers has resulted in a desire on the part of the company to get closer to the porter. To that end several meetings have been held in this city with the object of getting better results all around. The company, through its speakers, laid considerable stress upon the affability of the porter, a point having no bearing in the least in any effort to better (if improvement is needed) when the work of a railroad porter is considered. Ever since the funny vein has struck the writers in the American press the affable porter has been their main stock in trade. In later years the traveling public has considered the porter's affability a part of the company service and the hard worked porter has been the only sufferer. LET THE PULLMAN COMPANY PAY ITS PORTERS LIVING WAGES. Let the Pullman Company provide better eating and sleeping accommodations for them and his smile will be of the brand that won't come off. Getting into closer touch with the porters, in lectures and schools of instruction is a good plan, one which The Chicago Defender heartily endorses, but the paramount trouble with the Pullman Company is that it does not pay its porters living salaries. The Chicago Defender, always the friend of the porter, advises them to do their work with care, be polite, make good records and share responsibility. The work of the company is even more simple. First increase the porter's pay and then reward meritorious service with something more substantial than stripes upon their arms. A REAL HERO. A REAL HERO IS THE AFRO-AMERICAN who will defy the southern class law and pull down the Jim Crow signs in all public places; if we must fight for the flag it must be clean before we can say some one dirtied it, an act like this would be like tying a knot in a lion's tail. Yet it can be done and it must be sooner or later. WELL! SINCE THE FOREIGNER has gone back to fight, the Afro-American may get a chance to clean windows once more in his home land. Perhaps he will stick on the job and cut picnics out if he is given another chance. HEARING SHOT AND SHELL and cursing on Monday morning, and police coming from everywhere, Mr. Butler left his buffet, thinking he was in Belgium. He toted a white flag all the way to his hat shop. PRESIDENT MONROE told us years ago to keep out of eastern countries' muddles, but like some smart kid we are trying to get in. Young fellow (U. S.) you had better mind out what your daddy has said.

IF HOGAN HAD A PEDIGREE we could stand by and let our officers do as they wish; now if a man bobs up with a real record we are sure the police will call out the artillery. NOW THAT THE POLICE are running things in Chicago so far as the Afro-American is concerned, we think they should serve notice on the Mayor to send in his resignation. NOW THAT THE POLICE are running things in Chicago so far as the Afro-American is concerned, we think they should serve notice on the Mayor to send in his resignation. THE JEW SHOULD NOT DOUBT the Russians. Try them out, like the Afro-American has tried the white man, the Jews and the Irishmen—then holler. A CONTRACT BASED ON THE COLOR of a man's dermis in Illinois is void, yet the police have tried, time and time again, to coerce our business men into it. YOU CAN HEAR NOW ALL ABOUT the Russian Jews and the war. Well, we Americans should try and turn their eyes below the Mason and Dixon line. WHAT LANGUAGE IS USED on the battlefield between the French, Germans and Belgians?—the triangle language; what colors? The triangle colors. WE ARE YET WONDERING if the police would have shot Mrs. Potter Palmer's home up trying to get out a murderer, even if it were her son! REALLY! WERE THE POLICE after Jesse James Monday morning, or a Napoleon, or was it an English they were trying to shoot up? A BEAUTIFUL WEEK after all its thunderstorms, cutting scrapes and shoot ups; and the sun had the nerve to keep shining. ISN'T IT MUCH BETTER to have women in the registration booth to accompany men than the young man just at majority? NOW THAT THE JAP'S blue eyed dolls have refused to evacuate Kiao-chan what will Uncle Sam say? ISN'T IT MUCH BETTER to have women in the registration booth to accompany men than the young man just at majority?

OUR POLICE ACTED LIKE a lot of village cut ups last Monday morning. WHEN IN THE RUBE FOSTER is it going to stop raining Mr. Moon? WHEN IN THE RUBE FOSTER is it going to stop raining Mr. Moon? PANCHO VILLA SEEMS to be playing hide and seek. Keep Healthy BY DR. A. WILBERFORCE WILLIAMS CANNING AND PRESERVING. This is the season of the year to use largely a fruit diet. Fresh fruits have a low nutritive value but a great dietetic value and should be used more generously and frequently both fresh and cooked fruits as they supply a great variety of flavors, sugars and acids which aid largely through their bulky quality in promoting intestinal movement and in overcoming constipation. Fresh fruits are rich in certain mineral salts such as potash and soda. These salts are essential to the body. Fresh fruits are refreshing, cooling and stimulating to certain tissues of the body. These with vegetable acids are great aids to digestion. Fresh fruits and fruit juices as well as cooked fruits aid in keeping the blood in a healthy condition when the supply of fresh meats and fish is limited and where one is compelled to use much of smoked meats as an element of diet. Scurry is often caused among soldiers and other people because of the lack of fresh meats, fruits and certain vegetable acids. This season of the year we should use more fresh fruits than cooked fruits because the fresh fruits are more appetizing and refreshing. Too much uncooked fruits and undererripe fruits is very apt to induce intestinal trouble and is often the frequent cause of stomach and intestinal irritation and fermentation. Cooking Fruits. Cooking fruits changes the character of the flavor and renders the product less cooling and refreshing but it also renders the fruit less dangerous and causes less stomach and intestinal trouble. The nutritive value is largely increased by adding the sugar to them; too much sugar spoils the flavor and makes them more difficult to digest. Fruit as a Beautifier. People who live largely on fruit and vegetable diet have a more beautiful complexion than those who live on meat and coarse food. The person who lives on a fruit diet has skin clearer, smoother and more beautiful than those who consume a large amount of heavy meats, rich gravy, greasy diet. The heavy meateaters are more likely to be troubled with rough, bumpy skin, covered largely with blackheads, boils, sluggish liver, intestinal fermentation, constipation, and are much more likely to be overcome with heat stroke or to suffer from food poisoning (autointoxication) than those who eat less meat and consume mostly fruits and vegetables. A good, large, thick, juicy porter house steak with French fried potatoes and plenty of gravy, and hot rolls, and a quart or two of beer are very appetizing and enjoyable, for the time being, but, if kept up or continued for any considerable time, it is bound to be followed by enlargement of the liver, inflammation of the kidneys (Bright's disease), hardening of the blood vessels (arteriosclerosis), shortness of breath and apoplexy. All of which is not likely or nearly liable to occur to those who use largely a cereal vegetable and fruit diet. The Essentials in Canning and Pre- serving Fruits. The essential things in canning, preserving fruits and vegetables are the sterilization of the fruits, and of the utensils, and the proper sealing of the sterilized food to exclude all germs. (By sterilizing we mean to make clean and free from all germs.) This is best done by, using plenty of soap and water on the utensils to Fruits. to have women in the registration young man just at majority? blue eyed dolls have refused to clc Sam say? STER is it going to stop raining he used; by thoroughly boiling them in hot water before filling them with the fruit. The fruit before being pared, should be dipped in boiling water. This will kill the germs that may be on the outside of the fruit. The water should be from 212 to 215 degrees F. This will kill most kinds of bacteria if exposed to such temperature to from ten to fifteen minutes. The Necessary Utenails. We should never use iron or tin utensils in canning fruits or in making jelly. The fruit's acids attack iron and tin and give a bad color and metallic taste to the fruit. The vessels should be brass lined or porcelain lined or enameled. The kettle should be broad rather than deep. You should have two preserving kettles enameled lined, one colander, one fine strainer, one skimmer, one ladle, one large mouth funnel, one wire frying basket, one wire sleeve, two or four long handle wooden spoons, one wooden masher, two or three large pans, flat bottomed clothes boiler, one flannel straining bag, one syrup gauge, one glass cylinder, a fruit pricker and a silver or plated paring knife. Do not use a knife of iron or of steel for paring fruits as the fruit acids turns the steel black. Every well regulated household should have these essential utensils more or less. This is only a suggestive list for the young beginners in housekeeping who want to put up fruits, beans and other vegetables to tide them over in winter in the way of meeting the high cost of meats and other living desirables.

We would advise that you carry the will to some competent attorney and he will properly advise you. ROUND TABLE TALKS Japan's Military Judgment. By W. F. Wright Ones first emotions on reading—with its thunder clap suddenness—Japan's ultimatum to Germany were regret and indignation. Japan, hardly having gotten her breath and far from material recuperation from her recent death struggle—why should she sacrifice still more of treasure and men? Especially men. And under what obligation was she to her whilom ally—England? England, truckling time server, plant tool of the fleshpots, brazenly giving her moral support against Japan. While her ally resented as best she might, gratiousious insult and humiliating indignity, what did she owe to England? One felt his blood rising at the question and the hot answer: "Owe her nothing, she should repudiate her as she repudiated"; and leave her to her own devices, come surging to the lips. But no, it's not so. On sober second thought, it's clear, that her determination to scrupulously observe her treaty obligations, will not only reaffirm (especially by contrast) her high repute, but in the mysterious permutations of circumstance, destiny, may secure to her undreamed of benefits It wouldn't be consistent with Japan's universally high repute for her to make a serious error. And she has not. One almost feels a thrill as he contemplates this new evidence of the iron self-control and seer like acumen of this gallant little nation. That big hob-nailed teuton, his mailed fingers at the throat of China, while he leered with undisguised malevolence and contempt across the yellow sea, and she, for the nonce unable to strike, but must curb her fiery spirit in face of the flaunting challenge, was the measure of her temptation to throw discretion to the wind, for the sheer joy of flying at the throat of the insolent intruder. But now, scouring the purring sweets of diplomatic suavity and only casually advancing the right of self-preservation, she bids him "git," bag and baggage and stand on no ceremony, lest her boat "lend speed to the haste" of his going. In the school, the nations made almost heart-breakingly hard for her, Japan has been a brilliant student. She has learned savagely and well. The art of war in its simplest statement is doing the greatest possible injury to the evening with the least possible injury to yourself. Strategy is to deceive the enemy and strike with the suddenness of surprise. If the above is true, her determination to attack Germany, when Germany is "themmed in and fighting desperately," no longer able to protect her ill, often frontiers, is possibly the finest distinct application of the theory and art of war this campaign will show. And across this latest page of the bloody chronicle, an unblased future will write: Sound military judgment of Japan: ALFRED ANDERSON ILL Mr. Alfred Anderson, associate editor of the Chicago Defender, well-known lyric writer and business manager of Provident hospital, has been confined to his room all week suffering with stomach trouble. TIME TO CUT YOUR GRASS. Afro-American citizens living on streets east of State street should see to it that the grass on their front yards and on the streets be cut by Sunday. In front of some of the homes the grass is so tall that a Defender reporter could not see the number on the houses. Don't let it be said that Afro-Americans are not keeping up with the plan to keep the city beautiful.
