CENT FOUR TABERNACLES' The Wonderful Progress of This Order, the FOUR TABERNACLES' KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF TABOR IN RECENT MEETING AT LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Wonderful Progress of This Order, the Outgrowth of One Formed During the Civil War, Is Interestingly Told by Eloise Bibb Thompson In This Issue. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Washington, Sept. 4.—To raise the $100,000,000 a year treasury shortage due to the falling off of customs revenues because of the European war special taxes are to be laid on the following articles: Railroad and steamer tickets, 5 per cent; kodaks, gasoline, beer and wines, patent medicines and preparations, proprietary soft drinks, legal documents, deeds and mortgages and playing cards. The ticket, kodak and gasoline taxes are expected to yield a heavy return. Gasoline is used largely in many forms of luxuries, like the automobile, and the object is to place the tax where it will fall most lightly on the poor or those least able to bear it. A movement is on to change the name of the "Board of Missions for Freedmen" to the "Board of Missions for Negroes in the United States." The Board of Missions for Freedmen is anxious to have its field enlarged and is looking longingly for the funds and the influence which would come with charge of northern Negro mission work in addition to the southern work which it was organized shortly after the war to do. To get it this board secured the consent of the Board of Home Missions to surrender the northern work and to join in an overture to this effect to the general assembly which met in Chicago last May. The plan would no doubt have carried if it had not been discovered by some of the northern men in time to have it referred for investigation to the assembly's executive commission, to report at Rochester, N. Y., in May next. The Afro-American ministers and members of Presbyterian churches see in the proposed change nothing less than the drawing of the color line. They do not believe in segregation, and they do not even want to ride to the city of the New Jerusalem in a "jim crow" car," though attached to the great Presbyterian through train. The Grace Church is making arrangements to send Rev. Jackson to a conference in Philadelphia September 10 to avert the threatened blow. The session has already forwarded its protest to the executive commission. --- --- VOL. IX., NO. 36.

"WE CANDIE," WAS MOTTO. Los Angeles Delegates to Recent Session of Order at Fort Smith Tell of Its Wonderful Growth—Flourishes in 22 States with Membership of 300,000. By Eloise Bibb Thompson. Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 4.—The twenty-seventh annual grand session of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor was held recently in Ft. Smith, Arkansas, over 1,500 delegates being present. There are four branches of this order in Los Angeles, three female and one male, named respectively: Tabernacles Pacific Coast, New Beulah, Star of Bethlehem and Bright Light temple. William B. Rich, international deputy of the order for the past twenty-five years, was sent from Los Angeles to the convention in Ft. Smith and brought back the following report to the Los Angeles branches: The mayor of Ft. Smith heartily welcomed us to the city and congratulated us on the work that we were accomplishing especially in the state of Arkansas. He touched on the progress of the race during its years of freedom and contrasted the condition of the Afro-American people in Ft. Smith at the present time with that of three decades ago. People's Progress Cited. "Thirty years ago," said Mayor Read, "the Afro-Americans of Ft.

Special to The Chicago Defender CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 5, 1914 Thomas Mitchell of Indianapolis Meets Old Friend Who is Policeman, Admits Murder and Asks to Be Arrested. Students of human nature will find an interesting case in Thomas Mitchell of Indianapolis, who, guilty of murder, found the secret too much to bear, voluntarily confessed it and surrendered himself to an officer of the law. He had safely escaped from the scene of his crime, but it constantly haunted him. The story reads like fiction. It was Monday night that Policeman William King of the Fiftieth street station was standing at Twenty-ninth and State streets, when he heard this greeting: "Hello, King! "I haven't seen you since we were schoolboys in Kentucky," said the man who had addressed him. "Why, it's Tom Mitchell," said King. "How are things going?" "Pretty tough," said the other. "I killed a man in Indianapolis, two weeks ago—we had a quarrel over a girl and went down to the river bank to fight it out. I came back alone. I want to be arrested." King took him to the police station and telegraphed to Indianapolis. The reply stated that Mitchell was wanted for murder. A. D. BROWN MALTREATED ON ILL. CENT. TRAIN Conductor, While the Train Was in Illinois, Urged Race Men to Go in Jim Crow Car—Work for the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. A. D. Brown, one of Chicago's enterprising business men, on a visit to Quito, Tenn., a few miles from Memphis, took an I. C. train for that point. In the grand old State of Illinois, before he got out of its boundaries, he was ushered into a "Jim crow" car. He tells a thrilling tale of the Illinois Central, that passes through the State of Illinois (the home of Lincoln). He left Chicago on the 6:30 train. No. 3, known as the Panama Limited, in company with several Chicago men and women. Everything passed off pleasantly until they left Cairo Junction. On leaving Cairo Junction, an ordinary looking man of mature age, wearing the uniform of the Illinois Central Railroad, and acting in the capacity of conductor, came through the car and made the following remark to Afro-American citizens, and some of the leading business men and women in Chicago: "Don't you see them chasing you to the front?" That meant from the first-class coach to the car which was used for a smoker. That smoker became the first-class car for colored people with no special accommodation for ladies, and yet this is still in the State of Illinois, the trains being manned by employees of the Illinois Central. On the same road there is no accommodation made for Afro-Americans to even get a cup of coffee until they reach their destination. AFRO-AMERICANS ENGAGED IN EVERY KNOWN CALLING Brief Summary Compiled Brings Out Interesting Facts as to Number of Operators, Owners and Laborers in Various Lines of Work in the United States. ONE CRANBERRY BOGMAN. 10,296 Men and Women In Animal Husbandry, While There Are Only 4 Greenhouse Foremen—Number of Blackamiths Is Small—The Report In Full. Washington, Sept. 4.—Very few of the race have any conception of the great number of occupations in which you will find members of the race. There is hardly an occupation known to the United States that the race is not represented in, either as owners and operators, or laborers. I have just compiled a brief summary of occupations showing the number of men and women of the race employed in them, and the number of men and women of the race who are owners, managers, clerical employees or laborers in these occupations. For instance, in agriculture there are 2,857,732 Afro-Americans employed as follows: Cranberry growers, 3; dairy farmers, 208; farmers, 877,705; florists, 116; fruit growers, 306; truck gardeners, 4,466; nurserymen, 25; turpentine farmers, 113; vine growers, 1. Employed as foremen or managers in agricultural occupation, either for white or Afro-American owners the race is well represented. As cranberry bog foremen there is but one employed, but as dairy farm foremen or managers there are 15; farm and plantation foremen, 1,546; truck garden foremen or managers, 68; greenhouse foremen, 4; nursery managers, 7; orchard managers, 41; turpentine foremen and managers, 146. As agricultural laborers there are 1,960,460 members of the race employed in the United States, and as bookkeepers, stenographers and clerks connected with agricultural occupations there are 41 young men and women of the race employed; while as blacksmiths, stationary engineers and machinists employed on farm or plantation, there are 416 sons of Ham employed. Forestry Attracts Many. Farming has been exploited of late, and the "back to the farm" movement has led many to believe that but few of the race were engaged in farming, that is, comparatively few, and as to forestry, no reference has been made whatever, yet in forestry 25,565 Afro-Americans find employment. Of this number 181 are owners; 14 are managers; 111 are bosses, overseers or foremen; 17 are foresters; 13 are bookkeepers, stenographers or clerks; 21 are blacksmiths, and 96 are stationary engineers. Employed as choppers, log drivers, sawyers, saw filers, scalers, teamsters, cutters and lumbermen there are 24,993 Negroes employed in the forestry occupation. 1,356 Stock Herders. In his address before the National Negro Business Men's League at Muskogee, Dr. Washington emphasized the importance of stock raising among the Afro-American, and deplored the fact that in several states there was a sorry minimum of Afro-American stock and poultry raisers. However, many will be surprised to learn that engaged in the animal husbandry there are 10,296 men and women of the race; 53 of these are employed as apiarists; 8,268 as fishermen or oystermen; 415 as poultry raisers; 243 as poultry laborers; 36 as stock farm foremen or managers; 1,356 as stock herders, drovers and feeders, and 202 as owners of stock farms. So far as agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry is concerned, the number of the race employed as owners and as managers and foremen is especially very encouraging.

Detroit, Mich., Sept. 4.—The wedding of Miss irene Marie Cole, daughter of Mrs. James H. Cole, 309 Warren avenue, to Mr. Stanton C. Hunton of this city at St. Matthews Episcopal Church Wednesday evening, Sept. 2, was one of the grandest affairs the old settlers of Detroit have had the pleasure of witnessing in many years, as the history of each of their families dates back more than seventy-five years.

HOME EDITION ICE 5 CENTS SENGERS --- NATIVE AFRICAN SOLDIERS IN WAR; FEARLESS MEN Famous Turcos of Algeria Led French Advance Into Alsace-Lorraine—Germans Are Repulsed by Fearless Black Troops. SOME NATIVE OFFICERS. 20,000 Can Answer Call to Arms—France Long Ago Realized Worth—Encouraged by Promotion They Are Most Formidable Adversaries. Paris, France, Sept. 4.—Detachments of the famous Turcos, or native troops, from the French colony of Algeria penetrated Upper Alsace August 29. The possession by France of "The Black Legions" has long ranked in Germany's mind and has been a factor in the eternal squabbles of years' standing between the two countries. While the Berlin government has never been very successful in Germanizing Africa, France, on the contrary, has recruited her armies from the Sahara and has made fearless soldiers from Algerian mercenaries. There are no better soldiers in their own way than the black and brown men, who, serving under the tricolor, have penetrated Upper Alsace. When fighting in their own country these men are accompanied by their wives, who do the cooking, nurse the wounded and bring case of cartridges to their husbands on the firing line. In Constant Service. The Turcos are almost constantly on active service in southern Algerian provinces against the roving tribes of Arab horsemen who continuously harass the French troops. Half their officers are Frenchmen, the other half rise from the ranks of the natives. They are remarkable sharpshooters. Long ago the French government was convinced that the Turcos had the necessary military qualifications and turned to them to strengthen her forces. Today France can call upon some twenty thousand of these native troopers. It has been known for several years that France would use her black soldiers wherever it was necessary to defend her interests or honor. Despised by Germans. The Turcos have had considerable to do with the Franco-German troubles. A year ago General Von Berhardi, one of Germany's most prominent military journalists and a dictator of that country's military policy, acknowledged that France had strong reserves in the dark races of Africa. But with the acknowledgment he added: "Her arm there is by no means ready for a struggle "us" General Berhardi rather is the black contingents. An German officer of distinction, General Alfred Brenzig, has insisted in his writings upon the necessity of maintaining in the Mediterranean a strong fleet of German warships to intercept the North African troop ships which, supposedly, are to bring contingents to support France in war against her European foes. This warrior told Germany only last year; Did Not Profit by Advice. Did Not Profit by Advice. "We must have a strong fleet in the Mediterranean. The French military law of three years constitutes a distinct menace of war. Sooner or later we may expect an explosion in France whose results will be a war of revenge against Germany. The aim of our military authorities should be to prevent the transport of two corps of the army, 65,000 men, from Africa to France. The French have no ship of war which can compete with ours. France could not, therefore, destroy our naval divisions in the Mediterranean, which, of course, would be supported by the swift warships of Italy. Neither could the French fleet be depended upon for defending the transport from Africa. The transfer of the African regiments to France would be a slow process, and it is not likely that more than fractions of the two army corps could be landed in France." FIRST GRADUATE IN FORTY-TWO YEARS. Bridgeport, Conn., Sept. 4—(Special)—Edward W. Baxter of New London, Conn., who graduated recently from the Bulkley high school, is the first Afro-American boy to finish from that school during the forty-two years of its existence. He has won many honors in athletics—football, baseball and short-distance running. PAGE TWO. AMERICAN GIANTS TAKE LEAD IN WORLD'S SERIES Royal Giants of New York Outclassed—Pace Set by Locals too Fast. RIOT AT THIRD GAME. Disguating Scenes Seem to Appear at These Games—Patrons Use Foul Language in Presence of Ladies. By Frank A. Young. The American Giants opened their series deciding the world's championship against the Royal Giants of Brooklyn, N. Y., Sunday before the largest crowd that has ever attended the Thirty-ninth street games. From every direction they came, and in every style, on foot, by electric and by autos. The fair sex was out, and many were in the field seats, better known as circus sentes. One disgusting feature of the series is the way wrangles seem to appear at these games. Sunday the Royals squabbled and Tuesday the police had to be called to escort the unpire off the field. Patrons seem to be "down on" the police for failing to elect men who insist on making foul and insulting remarks in the presence of ladies. It seems as though that some men under the influence of liquor make these remarks, and then look for sympathy from those who are near under the pretense that they are or have been drinking. Owing to the time at which we go to press we can give an account of only the first three games. American Giants Take Opener. The American Giants took the opener, when Wickware allowed only three hits and struck out twelve batters. The Americans scored all their runs in the third on singles by Petway, Francis and Barber, an error by Harvey and an infield out. Barber got two of the locals' five hits. The score: score: Americans.

The second game went to the locals, Wade holding the easterners to two hits. It was a pretty pitchers' battle up to the seventh, when Dismuks weakened. With three men on bases and two strikes on Munroe, Barber attempted to steal home and Dismuks in an attempt to nail him threw a ball which Webster let get by him. Three errors, a pass and six singles put the game on ice in the eighth. The score: American Giants. H. P. A. E.

The third game nearly ended in a riot when the local scored their winning run in the last of the ninth. Two were out and two were on bases when Petway batted for Gans and hit a fly to short right along the foul line. Both Handy and Earl ran for the ball. The former caught it, but dropped it when Earl ran into him, letting both runners score. The visitors claimed that the ball was foul and attempted to assault Umpire Fitzpatrick, but policemen escorted him off the field before any damage was done. The victory was the third straight for the American Giants. Score: American Giants. R. H. P. A.

Howard Drew will run a special match race on Labor Day at Springfield, Mass. Everything has been put in readiness and a special track has been built. It is closely guarded and his townsmen are doing everything to help the great flyer to break the world's record. Drew has been offered a princely sum to quit the amateurs, but has expressed his intention of remaining in the present ranks. Bluett won the 100-yard dash on the Sears-Roebuck field Saturday. A number of the race will take part in the annual meet of the Sears-Roebuck company. They have been working hard and are expected to carry off some of the medals offered. Grace team had a battest and won 16 to 2. It seems that we are unable to satisfy the public with more news of their games because their scorers will not send in the news.

Hold Eighth Annual Session at Institutional Church—Large Number of Delegates Present. This is a society organized by Wm. H. Fields of St. Louis, Mo., about eight years ago. Its cardinal principles are for the uplift of the race and reciprocity among its members. The peculiar feature of this order is "That all National work is done in public." Executive sessions are held by the officers. Mr. Field is the originator and national grand master. He is in the real estate business in St. Louis, Mo. Among the other prominent members attending this, their eighth annual session, are Dr. G. M. Caltwell, E. Patello, Prof. J. A. Freeman, principal of Wheatley School, St. Louis; Edw. Owens, assistant postmaster Duquoin, III; Prof. J. C. Lewis of Cairo, Dr. S. D. Davis, Mrs. Etta Jackson, Carbon-dale, III; Mrs. Ada Harris and Mrs. Ida C.

The national headquarters of this order is 2804 Pine street, St. Louis, Mo., where they claim a structure of 35 offices, auditorium, rest room, dining hall and reception parlors. If what the officers claim for the order is true, it surely is a wonderful product of Africa. Chicago Members Prominent: In this city we have two prominent members, Dr. M. R. Bibbs and Mrs. I. P.

Do we value the old motto, "In union there is strength" and that the strength of all societies is money? Always Welcome. We stand for and advocate the advancement of the race financially, socially and morally; better educational advantages, labor and professional conditions, through whatever channel it may be achieved, yet we face this great motto, "In unity there is strength."

Dr. Wilson is the one to whom much of the credit is due and to whom our appreciation should be shown. A better opportunity than now in which to manifest your highest appreciation to him for his splendid work could not be had, for this is the time of the year when his burdens are the heaviest, and only in proportion as his appreciators, members and friends help him, in that proportion will his burdens be made lighter.

Your Attention to a Little Matter of Consideration's 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 sub scribbers. We expect more than two more weeks to clapse before we go over our entire list. Therefore those who have not received theirs 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 important that you let us know that 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. !

LIBERTY OBJECT OF SECRET ORDER (Continued from Page 1.1) sponse to the address of Mayor Read was given by Dr. N. H. Lockhart, a prominent physician of Ft. Smith. Then followed the annual sermon eloquently preached by the Rev. W. S. Cornwell, an eminent member of the order, who, after giving a brief history of the organization, closed with an exhortation to follow in the path that has brought them to success, "for," said the speaker, "this order meets the wants and necessities of the Afro-American people. It encourages Christianity, education, morality and temperance; it aims to inculcate a high ideal of manhood and womanhood; it recommends to its members the getting of homes and the acquiring of wealth; it teaches the greatness, goodness and mercy of God, and man's responsibility to the Supreme Being." Collections Total $88,774. A report of the work accomplished in both Arkansas and California was read, which among other things, revealed the fact that there are 34,063 members in the various branches of those two states, and that $88,774.05 was collected during the past year. Following are the names of the grand officers elected for the ensuing year: Scipio A. Jordan, chief grand mentor, Little Rock, Ark.; P. D. L.

The order of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor was founded in St. Louis, Mo., in 1871, by Moses Dickson, who was born in Ohio. Various branches of the order are now found in twenty-two different states of the country, with a membership of 300,000. Its purposes are purely beneficial. Being the outcome of an organization known as the Knights of Liberty established in 1865—an association whose aim was the abolition of slavery, the motto being "We can die, but we can never reveal the name of a member, or make known the organization and its objects" the Knights of Tabor necessarily received its element of secrecy. At the close of the Civil war the Knights of Liberty were disbanded and the order of the Knights of Tabor founded seven years later to perpetuate the memory of the Knights of Liberty. The branch organization in Arkansas has erected a Taborian home on the outskirts of the city of Little Rock—a sheltering place for the orphans, the infirm and the destitute members of the order. The Taborian home, a structure containing sixteen rooms, is situated in an 180-acre field, 115 acres of which is under cultivation. Plans are being formulated by the Arkansas branches of the order for the erection in the early part of January, 1915, of a $100,000 building to be used as the headquarters for the organization. The names of the presiding officers of the various temples and tabernacles of Los Angeles are: I. M. Payne, chief mentor, Bright Light temple; Mrs. M. Dogens, chief priestess, Pacific Coast tabernacle; Mrs. Carrie Graves, chief priestess, New Beulah tabernacle; Mrs. Rhoda Daniels, chief priestess, Star of Bethlehem tabernacle. The four branch orders of Los Angeles had their annual sermon preached recently at the A. M. E. Zion church, Pico and Paloma streets, by the Rev. William Byers, at which time a goody sum was taken up in collection, the greater portion of which was donated to the local orphans of deceased members. "My Beloved Jews." Old Nick Romanoff, who happened to be heir heir to the Russian throne and succeeded to it when his brother was blown to smithereens by an Nibilist's bomb, and who styles himself "Czar of All the Russians and Vice Regent of God on Earth," etc., etc., comes out in a proclamation to his "beloved Jews" and says that if they will be real good, give up their money, shoulder arms and fight for "Holy Russia," he will in turn give them their civil rights. The holy old Nick is just a plain liar, and he has no intention of carrying out any such program. Not a single Jew in America takes any stock in his promises, and Jewish editors and prominent citizens all over the country who have commented on the matter unite in doubting His imperial Nickness. The Romanoffs have made many false promises to the Hebrews, who have been persecuted under nearly every Russian ruler. Some of the most horrible programs or massacres of innocent Jews have occurred during the reign of the present emperor. No one who has read of the atrocities committed against the helpless Jews in recent years at Bialystok, Kiev, Kishinev and other places—massacres which had the sanction of the Russian government—would for a moment have any faith in any promises made by Old Nick.—The Appeal, St. Paul.

Reed, former Dean of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, and Professor of Mathematics, has just completed a successful week conducting the Christian County Institute, the largest Institute of colored people in the state. Eighty teachers were enrolled. Prof. Reed, the scholarly young man, spoke to five hundred people at the Christian County Court House; both white and colored were present. The young educator advocated the latest methods of education, whereas the education that meets the demands of the masses of people. He emphasized the fact the ability of "fact" and for the young Afro-Americans to so crystallize thoughts and cement them into a concrete form, ere hence years to come, when you have reached your zenith, in whatever your life work might be; in this commercial world. The young educator, I want to make this essential fact plain before you: the woman who cooks a meal to perfection, the washwoman who performs her duty, the farmer who tills his soil, is a greater servant to his people than the school teacher, the bishop, the moderators, the statesman in the Senate chamber, or the general on the battlefield of war." Education in its broadest sense means we must develop our ideas and not be mere dreamers who stand as a stumbling block to impede the youth in the arena of life.

Magic for Rust Spots To remove rust spots on bathtubs and basins and discolorations in toilet basins and sinks apply muriatic acid with a mop. As soon as the discoloration is removed the acid should be thoroughly rinsed off with clear water. The acid works like magic; it is almost instantaneous in its effect and the labor of scrubbing is saved. Positively Unreasonable French servant (to marketman)—"What! Ten frames for a chicken!

FOR STATE TREASURER VOTE FOR ANDREW RUSSELL PAGE FOUR WOMEN'S CLUBS TELL PROGRESS AT SAN DIEGO California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs Hold Eighth Annual Convention in California City. 125 DELEGATES PRESENT. Mrs. E. V. Moxley, President, Makes Annual Address—Year's Receipts $5,253—Exhibit of Handiwork. Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 4.—The eighth annual convention of the California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs took place recently in San Diego, its sessions covering a period of four days, writes Eloise Bibb Thompson in the Los Angeles Tribune. About 125 delegates, representing the various clubs of the state, were present, sixty-five of whom came from Los Angeles, Pasadena, Santa Monica and Venice. The convention was held in the Bethel A. M. E. Church, 1649 Front street, the morning sessions being given over to reports of the various clubs, appointment of committees, meeting of the executive board and the regular routine of business. The afternoon and evening sessions were attended by enthusiastic audiences of both races, who heard addresses by several prominent men and women, among whom were Judge Haines, who extended the state's welcome to the federation; Mrs. Charles Dodge of San Diego, who greeted the delegates in behalf of San Diego clubs; Miss Lors Smith, temperance worker; Mrs. R. C. Allen of the White Civic League of San Diego, and Mrs. Palmer, president of the California Federation of White Women's Clubs, who welcomed the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs most cordially to their midst. Work of Eight Years Told. The annual address by the president, Mrs. E. V. Moxley, rich in noble sentiments and lofty aspirations, was received with much enthusiasm. Mrs. Moxley gave a brief history of the work accomplished during the past eight years, paying tribute to the energy of the first honorary president, Mrs. G. M. Warner of Los Angeles, whom she called the mother of the federation, and also spoke in high praise of the poet, Mrs. Eva Carter-Buckner, who wrote the state federation song, "In the Ranks." She then congratulated her co-workers in general on the excellent work accomplished and expressed her appreciation for their valuable assistance to her during her administration. After many excellent suggestions, the outcome of years of experience in the work, she closed with an original poem that was both appropriate and beautiful. Convention Addresses. Other addresses given during the convention were as follows: Greetings in behalf of the Athenian Club, Mrs. H. J. Harris of San Diego; Opening of the Panama Canal.

The exchange work of the clubs of Santa Monica, San Diego and exhibits from the day nursery of Los Angeles were shown in booths in the basement of the church; the former displaying an enlarged copy of the Santa Monica high school seal made by Miss Hazel Brown of the Phillis Wheatley Club of Santa Monica, whose design was selected out of 300 others made by students of the Santa Monica high school to be used as a seal for that institution. Portrait paintings, Indian, reed and raffa baskets characterized the work, for the most part, displayed by the clubs of San Diego. Correct bed making, instructions as to the care of infants and their feeding were given by the day nursery of Los Angeles. Donations were received from Master Charles Tilghman of Oakland, a lad of seventeen years, in the shape of printed programs that were used during the convention, and "checks amounting to ten dollars from Judge Halnes, and Mrs. Harriet Marshall both of San Diego. 1 Mrs. E.

WABASHAVE.LIKE PARADISE LOST SAYS RECTOR Rev. Father Massiah Tells Race of Its Faults at N. A. A. C. P. Meeting Sunday—Raps Lawlessness and Censures Flat Owners Who Run Buffets Under the Guise of Respectability. MANY NOTED SPEAKERS. Staunch Supporters of the Association Tell of Work and Race's Need —Rev. Robert Bagnall is Orator of the Day. The remarkable speech of the Rev. Father Massiah, delivered impromptu at the massmeeting held at the Institutional Church last Sunday afternoon, will long be remembered by all who heard it. The meeting was under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P., and the topic Father Massiah discussed was "The Constructive Work of the Association." While he fully recognized that the main object of the association is to protect members of the race from unjust discrimination because of their color, yet he felt that there is just as much reason for constructive work among our people in curbing the lawlessness, which to a very alarming extent seems to be creeping into the best Afro-American neighborhoods in Chicago. The Ounce of Prevention. The Ounce of Prevention. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and it is up to us, said the speaker, to reduce as much as possible some of the causes which give to white prejudice its argument against us. We should eliminate all bitter racial feeling in our controversies in this matter, and not expect to gain the respect of the communities in which we live unless we merit it. He illustrated this by citing his own experience when, eight years ago, he brought his congregation to its present location. At that time the surroundings reminded him of Eden before the fall. Now this same locality, by no fault of himself or his flock, reminds him of Paradise Lost. People Slovenly and Indifferent. Is it not true that too many of our people are slovenly and indifferent about the appearance of their residences? The beautiful lawns which they found on the displacement of white tenants are not attended to; the hallways in many an elegant flat are littered with refuse, such as banana peelings, etc. The hoisterous conduct and the debauch in the private buffets in many a house that passes current as respectable residences should be rooted out of every decent community, and, added the speaker, we are going to do it. Stamp Out Lawlessness. Stamp Out Lawlessness. He felt that instead of condoning the lawlessness of the recent murder of an officer of the law by an Afro-American we should come out boldly and not only discountenance bad characters in our midst, but take the initiative in endeavoring to rid the community of them. If he had the means to remove his congregation to Michigan avenue how could he reasonably dispute the right of a peaceable community to protect itself against the possibility of an inrush of that undesirable class of our people, whom we ourselves must segregate and at the same time educate if we are to have an argument in defense of our rights and privileges? Father Bagnall's Address. Rev. Father Robert Bagnall, rector of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, whose address at the Baltimore conference of the association attracted so much attention, was the principal speaker. His speech was the most masterful oratorical effort heard in Chicago for some time. The alms and objects of the association were clearly set forth and segregation and race prejudice were scientifically discussed. The speaker was glad to know that the best element of the white race was with the Afro-American in his efforts to obtain equality before the law, equal opportunity and justice; but was strongly convinced that much good could be done by the best element of Afro-Americans and by such Afro-Americans only, for there is no white man living who can do this for us. Aniti Patti Brown Sings. Other speakers were Attorney Robert Murdy, Rev. Duncan C. Millner, Hon. Richard T. Greener and Charles T. Hallman. Another enjoyable feature of the program was the singing of Mme. generous plaudits and the congratulations of Attorney Murdy. The church was only partly filled, but the meeting was the most enthusiastic in the history of the local branch. Dr. Charles E. Bentley presided. NOTED COUPLEWED TUESDAY AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL Nuptials of Ernest Davidson Washington, Son of Ho. Book-Washington, Son of Hon. Booker T. Washington, and Miss Edith Eugenia Meriwether Brilliant Affair. Home at Greenwood, Near Tuskegee, Gift of Groom's Father, Furnishings from Mother—Fine Silverware from Bride's Grandparents. By R. W. Thompson. Washington, D. C., Sept. 4.—The reigning social event of the waning summer season was the brilliant wedding Tuesday night of Mr. Ernest Davidson Washington of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, the younger son of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and Miss Edith Eugenia Meriwether, youngest daughter of Mrs. James H. Meriwether, for years identified with the educational and civic uplift of the nation's capital. The ceremony took place at 7:30 o'clock in the spacious parlor of the bride's home, 1211 S street, Northwest, and was witnessed by a gathering which included many of Washington's most distinguished citizens. The solemn words which made the happy couple one were pronounced by Rev. T. J. Brown, rector of St. Luke's P. E. church, the stately service of the Episcopal church being used. The bride was given away by her brother. Miss Jessie Jenifer was bridesmaid and Miss Sarah N. Merlwether, sister of the bride, was maid of honor. The groomsman, or "best man," was John Merrick, Jr., of Durham, N. C. Messrs. Herbert D. Myers of Cleveland, Ohio, and Robert L. Jones of Atlanta, Ga., acted as ushers. Many Noted Guests. Miss Meriwether was a picture of girlish loveliness, in a dainty gown of white crepe de chine, trimmed with tulle and satin and pearls. The design was after the approved French model. The beautiful creation was surmounted by a long bridal veil, with the traditional orange blossoms. The bride carried a magnificent bouquet of orchids and lilies of the valley. The parlers were tastefully decorated with palms and potted plants. Among the notable personages present during the impressive ceremony were Dr., Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute, father of the groom, and Capt. Booker T. Washington, Jr., his brother; Dr. B. P. Brownley of Charleston, W. Va., the bride's brother-in-law; Former Register of the Treasury and Mrs. J. C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn.; Mr. Andrew THE CHICAGO DEFENDER ER VOTE FOR FEDERATION OF COLORED WOMEN Delegates to the Eighth Annual Convention Testing and Successful Sessions in San Diego J. Stevens and Dr. Algernon Brashear Jackson of Philadelphia; Mrs. John M. Langston, Judge and Mrs. Robert H. Terrell, Mrs. B. K. Bruce, Assistant Superintendent and Mrs. Roscoe Conkling Bruce and others. Following the marital service a delightful reception was held from 8 to 10, with Mr. Benjamin Washington as master of ceremonies. Home Present from Father. Many beautiful, useful and expensive presents were given by admiring friends from all sections of the country. The cosy home in Greenwood, a picturesque suburb of Tuskegee Institute, where Mr. and Mrs. Washington are to reside, was presented by Dr. Washington, and the furniture for it, through and through, was Mrs. Washington's gift. The latter was purchased here from the firm of Moses and Son, Miss Meriwether making the selections. It was a peculiar coincidence that at the same house years ago the father and mother of the bride purchased the furniture for their home in this city. Another unique present was a set of feather pillows that had served three generations, sent by an aunt, Mrs. S. E. Robinson of Ohio; and still another was a fine assortment of silverware from the bride's grandparents that had been given to them on their fifteenth anniversary. A goodly number of the presents were from friends at Tuskegee Institute and will be in the home when they reach there. Mr. and Mrs. Washington are to spend their honeymoon in New York City, with brief visits to one or more of the popular watering places of the East, and will be at home after September 15 at Tuskegee Institute.

MEDICAL MEN PLAN MEETING IN THIS CITY NEXT YEAR "Windy City" to Be Mecca for the Physicians and Surgeons of America upon Invitation from Chicago Medical Society. DR. U. G. DAILEY CHOSEN HEAD OF SURGICAL SECTION Meeting at Raleigh, N. C., Greatest in History—Young Men Taking the Lead—Dr. Hargrove Elected President—Scientific Papers Read. Dr. U. G. Dailey, Chicago's noted physician and surgeon, returned home the first of the week from Raleigh, N. C., where the annual meeting of the National Medical Association was in session. He went as a delegate from the Chicago Medical Society, and extended the national body an invitation to meet here next year. The invitation was received amid cheers and the request was unanimously adopted "The attendance this year was exceedingly large," said Dr. Dailey to a Defender reporter. "You would be surprised," continued the doctor, "to see so many brilliant and learned young men of the profession who are attending these meetings now. The papers read would do credit to any literary body in America. They were especially scientific and proved a great help and incentive to those present. The body is growing; more and more the members are seeing the need of attending such meetings, and the benefits derived. I was especially pleased with the progress of the race there. They have nine drug stores and are the equal of any in the downtown districts. The citizens treated us royally. The governor of the state delivered an address and it was a fine one. He pleaded for equal opportunity for the race. We elected Dr. F. S. Hargrove, Wilmington, N. C., president; Dr. W. A. Alexander, Orange, N. J., secretary; Dr. J. S. Levy, Charleston, S. C., treasurer." Dr. Dalley was elected a member of the house of delegates. After the meeting he visited New York and Washington, D. C. The news that the national association is to meet here next year was joyously received by all the local men of the profession. There is no doubt the citizens will do their share in entertaining such an honorable body of men. UNIVERSITY OF "CHI" CONFERS HONOR UPON MISS Miss Beatrice E.

TURNS HUNDREDS AWAY FROM CARNIVAL Six to Eight Hundred People Vainly Seek Admission to Tent Saturday Night—Outdoor Frolic a Huge Success—A Riot of Fun. MISS M'COY RECEIVES DEFENDER PRIZE Diamond Ring Offered in Popularity Contest Presented by Paper's First Subscriber — Praises Editors in Speech. It seldom falls to the lot of a Chicago newspaper to publish the fact that numbers of people, estimated at from six to eight hundred, had to be turned away from a pay entertainment for lack of room. Usually it is just the reverse. But such a thing happened Saturday night when throngs of people eager to pay the price of admission were unable to gain admittance to the N. A. A. C. P. carnival held in a tent at Thirty-sixth place and Wabash avenue. Novel Affair Attracta. The novel entertainment planned by the local branch for the purpose of establishing a permanent legal bureau attracted attention from the first announcement, and this followed by generous advertising through the columns of the Chicago Defender was responsible for the great rush for admittance. The hundreds who did gain admittance filled the tent to the ropes. The carnival was like an outdoor bazaar. Gally decorated booths attended by winsome maids and matrons displayed an endless variety of fancy goods and favors, while popcorn and the everpopular ice cream cones were offered for sale in every corner of the enclosure. There were mystery tents and guessing devices galore. A Riot of Fun. Merriment of the hilarious kind associated with the lad and lassie at the sirens dominated the dense throng and a really clever program of vaudeville and musical features went begging in that glorious riot of fun. It cannot be described. You would have had to be one of those human sardines to even appreciate this story. And then there was the band—the Elgenth Regiment Band at that—paraded the streets, played a number or two outside, but there was no room for them inside. Editor Abbott Speaks. A stubborn effort was made to have a program rendered, but the crowd was so large that only one number was given on Saturday night, and that was the singing of Madame Marie Burton Hyram. The feature of the evening's entertainment was the presentation of a diamond ring by the Chicago Defender to Miss Irene McCoy, who was successful in securing the largest number of votes in a recent popularity contest. Editor R. S. Abbott quieted the throng and stated that the Chicago Defender felt proud to do that which no other Afro-American paper in the city had done—give a prize for the most popular girl in the "Windy City." He stated that in so doing the paper had gained thousands of subscribers and was going into the homes of the people of this city and that its influence was being felt here and everywhere. He said the Defender stood for justice and fair play for all people, and was bitterly opposed to segregation and discrimination, and was here to fight the battles of the Afro-American. He stated that it was the aim of the Defender to be an ideal newspaper that would publish all the news and speak out bravely and fearlessly. Miss McCoy Gets Ring. If the people would support the Defender as they should they would have the strongest lever in this country to raise them up to a nobler and better plane. I have faith in them. I believe they will. We are making a strenuous effort to lead, and I believe you are going to be with us. The Defender belongs to you, and in fighting your battles I fight my own. It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you Mr. T. F. Dyson, the first pad-up subscriber of the Defender. Mr. Dyson said: "I regard it a great honor to present Miss Irene McCoy this beautiful diamond ring as a gift from the Chicago Defender, the world's greatest weekly. I only wish that every member of my race would appreciate it as I do. It is the first paper in Chicago to so honor one and to carry on such a fair and impartial contest. Miss McCoy needs to be congratulated, and so does this paper. It is with peculiar honor, Miss McCoy, that I in the name of the Chicago Defender present you this beautiful diamond ring as having won in the contest for being the most popular girl in Chicago." When Miss McCoy, who wore a handsome new gown for the occasion, arose to receive the ring there was loud applause and a hurrah for the Defender. Praise for Miss McCoy. In responding Miss McCoy said: "Mr. Chairman, Miss and Gentlemen: For the confidence and honor you have shown me as the result of the popularity vote my appreciation is unlimited. Having been entered in the contest by some of my friends, I little dreamed what the result would be. I am appreciative first to the Chicago Defender, which, to my mind, is without question the greatest Colored weekly in the United States. This becomes more evident when we consider the construction and form, the excellence in the personnel of its editorial staff, and its fearless stand in the defense of the rights of the Colored people of Chicago and the United States. The Chicago Defender is synonymous with the national advancement of the Colored people, and it is quite unique that this beautiful gift should be presented by the Chicago Defender under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored people. The popularity contest is one of the many creations of the Chicago Defender for the social advancement of the young Colored people of this great city. The contest is important in that it causes retrospection of one's self. The question arises in the mind of each contestant: 'What have I accomplished to be viewed favorably in the mind of the public?' It is inspiring in that it creates a desire to achieve lofty ideals by which one may climb into public favor and higher heights. "I greatly appreciate the support of my kind friends and trust that I shall ever maintain your good will and esteem. I feel that I have not accomplished enough to deserve such a demonstration of your confidence, but I have been inspired with the determination to merit it. The contest, then, is of great value, for upon retrospection each of us will have received renewed inspiration to do something for our fellowman, to add to society, and to imbibe the highest culture and good within the gift of American life. It is, therefore, with great pleasure that I again thank the Chicago Defender and my many friends for this lovely token of your regard." Receipts Unward of $500 From all reports, upward of $500 was taken in from all sources. The heads of the various committees have partially reported, and when all is in the receipts will go skyward. Speaking of the publicity given the Carnival Miss Clark of the executive committee said: "The Defender was the biggest agency we had in making our affair such a gigantic success." Dr. C. E. Bentley said: "The Defender deserves the palm, for it did the work." The Workers The committee in charge of the carnival, consisting of Dr. Charles E. Bentley, chairman; Mr. Nathan E. Caldwell, treasurer; Mr. George Robert Arthur, secretary; Miss Elizabeth Clark, Miss Garnetta Tibbs, Mr. A. L. Weaver and Mr. Charles Wilson, met and worked out a plan to secure the large sum now deposited in the bank. They selected the following heads of committees to assist them: Booth committee, Miss Garnetta Tibbs; committee on printing, Nathan Caldwell; committee on publicity, Cary B. Lewis; committee on donations, Miss Essie Arnold; booth draft committee, Mr. Ruhl Brown; decoration committee, Miss Elizabeth Clark; ticket committee, James A. Mundy; advertising committee, Charles E. Wilson; committee on refreshments, Mrs. Helen Jackson Thorne; construction committee, A. L. Weaver; committee on souvenir program, Robert B. Glover; souvenir committee, Miss Edith Madden.

The organization was in splendid working form, and to further create enthusiasm Sergent "Bill" Berry gave the services of the Eighth Regiment Band. The Second Night. The carnival was continued Monday night and the attendance was proportionally encouraging. Many returned the second time to enjoy in comparative quiet what was only glanced at in the jam of the first night. Sandwiched in between these two nights of more genuine fun than Chicago has seen in many days was the meeting at the Institutional Church Sunday afternoon. Here pleasure was succeeded by serious speech, wherein stalwart advocates of right, justice and equal opportunity told of the association's work. DR. P. J. SCOTT HAPPY OVER ADVENT OF SON. Dr. P. J. Scott, the ocular specialist, 3221 State street, is the happiest man in Chicago, being the proud father of a ten-pound son born last Saturday. Of course, his name will be P.

MUSICAL AN "All Passes, Art ON AND OFF THE STROLL BY COLUMBUS BRAGG THE GRAND THEATER. "Coup De Tait" De Esmeralda the Chile, cute and (tres Petite), simply a pocket edition of Anna Held, she portrayed her songs so forceful, until her acting submerged her singing. Still possessing a personality that was so charming that audience was hopelessly spellbound until rescued by the "Stroll Paderewski". Mr. Tony Jackson, whom received an ovation, then played the piano dexterously and just took four bowls and then had to do it all over again just to please a feverish anxiety of that distinct clientele that patronize the Grand theater. Fisher and Ridley, society, outdances Castles. They received a willing applause all through their interpretation, executing gryations and evolutions above par. In class by themselves. Very clever team open the hill. Marguerite, a spectacular act with a bunch of scenery and change of clothes, Funny, Tegrak acts all ways; work in "one." That's the reason they get that "one" price. You had better buy some scenery and learn to work full stage you won't get lost in "live." Try it and your salary will be five times larger than what it is now. Ross and Farrell, in vaudeville frole, very clever aerobic act. The famous Flying Fishers, world's greatest aerialists, closed the bill at the Grand and they flew, too. The Lady Minstrels packed them, just as I predicted. After considerable caustic comment and discussion on the "Jewel of the Stroll," Miss Sallie Lee Johnstone, the smiling Venus, still holds away at the popular Elite cafe. She is a diamond in the rough, although so amiable, graceful, always alert, and pleases her audience. She is handsome, soft spoken and ingratiating and is a favorite; deserves the applause that she receives nightly at that popular resort. Mr. and Mrs. Sheldrick Broady of Knoxville, Tenn., have returned to their home after a two weeks' visit with Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Lillison, two popular attaches of the Elite cafe. Madame Jennie Watts Brown, the famous elocutionist, is filling several dates in the South and will return in the near future to tour Iowa and the West. Madame Annita Patti Brown, the great coloratura singer, will tour South America in the near future. But suppose one of those fighting ships would confiscate her and take her to Paris, where Monsignor Jack Johnson is. Why they would have our biggest attractions. You stay right within Uncle Sam's borders, madame. We can't afford to lose you. Might miss the Abhiah! ueh! Mr. Art Harris, the great scenic artist of the Garrick, Princess, Cort, Palace and Majestic theaters, states that the scenes in the great Ethiopic classic play called "Abhaj" were extremely ancient. The scene of the Cajew recalls the most grewsome medieval tradition of torture and vengeance inflicted for offenses against king's or queen's honor or wrong doing. Burying alive maidens makes a thrilling episode. Also brings to mind the incarceration of the goddess of the winds of the desert. Nothing more dreadful, but they are so artistic. They fairly talk, so realistic is the Abhaj. Miss Irene Shadd, the stroll's most popular manicurist, formerly of Golins' barber shop, is at Brown & White barber shop, 3128 State street, where you always find the Defender and Freeman on sale by Columbus Bragg. Mr. Ollie Powers, the Lyric tenor singer, is back in his old quarters. The Ellwood cafe has been successful in securing Mile.

Noted Educator May Be Appointed on Exposition Commission by Governor Dunne. Dr. Mary F. Waring, 4529 Vincennes avenue, who was unanimously endorsed by the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs at the meeting in Moline, Aug. 18 to 21, and by the City Federation of Chicago in executive session Aug. 31, to fill the vacancy in the Illinois Commission of the Semi- Centennial Exposition, to be held in Chicago, August, 1915, caused by the resignation of Mrs. G.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO THE DANCING PUBLIC Mr. Mike Williams wishes to announce that he is not connected with the dancing school now being conducted at the Masonic Hall on Wednesday nights under the management of Haskins & Williams. The De Luxe Dancing Academy, under the management of Mike Williams and Ernest Bacon, having had such great success last season through the cooperation of its many patrons, was forced to seek larger quarters.

Vote for Jackson for Rep. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON ATTENDS GINGHAM PARTY Half Century Club Entertains Distinguished Educator and Other Visitors at Novel Social Function. The Half Century Club crowned itself with glory on the occasion of its gingham dancing party Thursday evening, August 27, at Rosalie Hall, Fifty-seventh street and Harper avenue, which proved a most delightful affair. Its reputation as a family club was fully sustained by its members, as their interest in their guests was unusual on such a large occasion. There was a charming effect in the simplicity of the gingham dresses worn by the members' wives and the unmarried members' company and many of the guests. There was a novelty attached to the gingham idea, as each member wore a bow tie corresponding with his company's dress. The grand march was led by President Julius N. Avendorph and Miss Camille Boltz of Mobile, Ala. Professor Garfield Wilson's interest in his club was shown by his personally conducting the orchestra for the occasion, and it never played more enchanting music. The visitors were simply charmed with the beautifully appointed hall. Fringe was served all evening. The visiting guests were Hon. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute; Miss Camille Boltz, Miss Pearl Johnson and Mrs. Alice Cooper of Mobile, Ala.; Mrs. B. Galnes, Cleveland, Ohio; Miss Hyde, St. Louis, Mo.; Miss Lattimore and Miss Coleman, Louisville, Ky.; Miss Moore, Lexington, Ky.; Miss Nettie Walker, Dr. and Mrs. Alfred Hendricks and Miss Wells, Indianapolis, Ind.; Miss B.

War abroad, and in a recent issue of one of the South Side papers, war has evidently been declared on crooked and unscrupulous 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 Vote for Jackson for Rep.

RACE INTERESTED IN CANDIDATES Waukegan Voters Support Best Men- Chicago Defender Correspondent Makes Recommendations. (Special to The Chicago Defender). Waukegan, Ill., Sept. 4.—The Afro-American voters of Lake County and northern Illinois look upon the coming primary as a get-together occasion—the time when all factional fights should be forgotten and everyone should pull together to place the Republican party back into power. The party that creates and maintains confidence throughout the Union, makes business good and the people happy. Mr. Lew Hendee. Mr. Lew Hendee, candidate for County Clerk, Lake County, Illinois, subject to Republican primary Sept. 9, 1914, is in the field for re-election. He is undoubtedly the choice of all the people. The Afro-American voters will give him strong support. Hon. Wm. S. Bullock is the forceful candidate for Congress for the Tenth Congressional District. State of Illinois. He is Lake County's first candidate and has become suddenly popular with the rank and file of the people. The Afro-American voter throughout the district will give him liberal support. Mr. Lee McDonough. Mr. Lee McDonough is the strongest and most popular candidate for County Treasurer of Lake County, Illinois. He is a thorough-going, wide-awake business man, just the kind to hold public office. The colored voters in all parts of the county will line up for him. The people of Waukegan have a right to feel proud of the new A. M. E. Church, located on Oak street, between McKinley and South avenue. The pastor, Rev. H. E. Johnson, has labored hard and long to give to Lake County the first modern, up-to-date church structure ever built in Lake County for the use of our people. This institution should receive the support of all the people, regardless of creed or faith. It is what we may call a community church.

His seven weeks of the legislature stands unequaled by 1 per cent of the members of the house who had four months' lead on legislation. His clear-cut appearance at all times, affability, display of rewindness and ability, coupled with diplomacy and his bulldog courage in winning his seat, won for him the admiration and respect of the entire membership of the house and senate.

Vote for Jackson only. feels that from a woman's standpoint she can do a great deal to lighten the burdens of the unfortunate inmates of the county institutions. A woman's gentle influence is needed in the management of these institutions from the home view and Mrs. Roth believes that the heart more than the head should be the controlling factor. This is the house-keeping business of the county and since women are ordained by nature to oversee the home, it is here they can do the most efficient work. We need: 1. Branch hospitals in the outlying districts. The distances in Chicago are so great that per mile on the way before the County hospital is reached. 2. We need an epileptic colony with strict segregation. 3. Better provision for defective children. 4. The inmates should have better ventilation, better food and better beds. The children must have pure milk and kind treatment. 5. We must have more humane attendants and destitute/cases must receive prompt attention. 6. We ask for the highest efficiency on the part of physicians and nurses. The great professors who have made a stu. of men and his environments have come to the conclusion that the one overpowering influence of the future will be that of service. "Service" is to be the watchword of the successful; it will be the keynote of all the struggles for supremacy and its champions will be and must be victorious. Mrs. Roth has taken the word "service" as her guide and focus that if through any effort on her part she can raise to a higher plane the management of our county institutions she will not have lived in vain, for Mrs. Roth is first and primarily a wife and a mother. Mrs. Roth has always taken a deep interest in the affairs of our people, and if nominated and elected, will see to it that we receive proper attention, in the county institutions. For this reason The Chicago Defender scolars her candidacy and asks its subscribers and friends to vote for her, not the Republican primaries, September 9. Vote No behind the man who is against you. Vote No for the man who stands for a Jim Crow jail, Jim Crow prices and Jim Crow accommodations. See next weeks issue on separate jail accommodations. HENRY C. BEITLER FOR COUNTY JUDGE, TRIED AND TRUE Long and Honorable Record as Judge of the Municipal Court Has Endeared Him to Law and Laity. Attorney W. W. Johnson Writes Strong Letter Endorsing Fair-Minded Candidate for Important Office. A Special Appeal to the Afro-American Voters of Cook County.—The primary election for the nomination for various city and county offices will be held Wednesday, September 9. As citizens representing a peculiar group of people whose vital interests are so interwoven in the training, disposition and ability of the various candidates who may seek our support it becomes of urgent necessity to us to view with great care and scrutiny the record of every candidate who asks our support. While I have many choices for various offices in question, I feel it my duty to exert every wholesome influence possible to insure the nomination and election of the proper individual for judge of the county court. The office of judge of the county court of Cook county is one of great importance and wields a tremendous influence for good or evil, the results of which depend solely upon the intellectual and moral stamina of the man who holds the office. I need not hesitate in saying that there now exists by reason of what the daily papers consider inju- Accomplished Man Candidate for Judge of Municipal Court. 10. J. B. 2014 Hon. W. J. Vavra. Mr. W. J. Vavra is a candidate for judge of the municipal court. He is a lawyer of ability and speaks six modern languages—English, Bohemian, German, Polish, Slovak and Croatian. His friends are numerous among all these nationalities. He was born in Chicago September 27, 1884, of Bohemian parentage. After having attended parochial schools in Chicago, and when 12 years of age, he entered St. Benedict's College, Atchison, Kan., where he studied the classics and was trained in the laws and customs of business. He was graduated from St. Benedict's with distinction at the age of eighteen. He is conduct only because edge of thorough and habil needs of whose la Genial, liberal a laiably fai and anxie than to nicalities naturally of the co His ree Immediately following his graduation he entered a business office, took great interest in the work, showed unusual business abilities, and within five years was in entire charge of the extensive business of the Bernard Statuary Company of Chicago. Although a promising career in that field was promised, he voluntarily abandoned it to pursue the study of the law. Chicago Kent College of Law conferred upon him the degree of bachelor in 1907 and that of master of laws in 1908. He was admitted to the bar in 1907.

In the 15 years Brewington has been active in politics and public affairs, he has assisted every Negro who has aspired to office and every movement for the benefit of the race. Mr. Brewington is a Spanish-American war veteran.

It therefore behooves us to use our best judgment in the selection of the future judge. The county judge has the appointment of the entire election machinery of Cook County; and any discrimination in that respect would deprive us of just representation in the system of our county government. Having been a practitioner at the Chicago bar for over twenty years I have had the opportunity of observing the conduct of various judges. I regret to say that in many instances their attitude toward Afro-American litigants and their lawyers savored of prejudice and unfairness, therefore I feel that I am fully competent of making the proper recommendation in that respect. After carefully considering the respective candidates for judges of the county court I am in all fairness compelled to recommend to the Afro-American voters Judge Henry C. Beitler of the municipal court for the nomination for judge of the county court. Judge Beitler has been upon the bench of the municipal court since its creation, having been elected two terms, the last election he led his ticket by several thousand votes. During his term upon the bench he has had occasion to preside in many cases where the interests of Afro-American litigants were at stake. He has always rendered his decision with justice and fairness, without taking into consideration race or creed, something that cannot be said of all the judges of Cook county, and if he is nominated and elected as county judge there will be no question but what the Afro-American people of this town can rely upon him for the same fair treatment. The race lawyers of cook county have endorsed Judge Beitler for the nomination and are doing everything in their power for his success, which is additional evidence of his fitness and eminent fairness to all of the citizens. I therefore call upon all race loving citizens who are interested in trust their future to fair He is admirably qualified for the conduct of cases in that court, not only because of his extensive knowledge of the law, but because of his thorough knowledge of the customs and habits and his appreciation of the needs of the various peoples with whose language he is familiar. Genial, accommodating, courteous, liberal and broad-minded, and invariably fair toward opposing counsel, and anxious to simplify practice rather than to freight it with needless technicalities and useless objections, he naturally is popular both in and out of the court recm. His residence is at 1824 South Ashland avenue. At the present time he is assigned to the prosecution of cases in the boys' court. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus, Catholic Order of Foresters, Greater Chicago Federation, Lawyers' Association of Illinois, Bohemian Club, chairman of the Bohemian Catholic Alliance of Chicago, president of the Rieger Club, Knights of Columbus; secretary of the Bohemian Cook County Democracy and numberless other organizations, clubs and societies. He asks the Afro-Americans to give him their vote in the primary. minded men to give their earnest support to Judge Beitler, for in his nomination and election we will have the satisfaction of knowing that we have as judge of the county court a man whose decisions will not be affected by race, creed or color.—W.

Paris, France, Sept. 4.—The situation has not changed greatly in Alsace, but in Upper Alsace we continue to make up rogress. The French army has reached Mohrange (in Lorraine). In the afternoon we made rapid progress beyond the River Seille in its central part. At the end of the day we had reached Delme on the one side and Mohrange on the other. Our troops, invading the valley of the Seille, earlier in the day occupied Chateau-Salins and Dieuze, but progress was necessarily very slow in face of fortified and strongly occupied positions. In the Vosges the Germans have retaken the village of Ville, where we had an advance post. A cavalry engagement, victorious for the French arms, is reported at Florenville, in Belgium. It is stated that very important German forces are crossing the Meuse between Liege and Namur. NOTED ORATOR AND FEARLESS RACE CHAMPION CANDIDATE FOR LEGISLATURE 72 Hon. Adelbert H. Roberts. The indications are that the Negroes of the First District have their representation at Springfield seriously threatened. There never was a time when representation at Springfield was more necessary than now. Democracy is in power in both state and nation. Prejudice is on the increase and everywhere more and more the colored people are feeling the heavy hand of oppression. Not since the Civil War has the Negro's civil and political rights been so vitally menaced as now. What are the Negroes going to do about it? the centering upon a single made vitally candidacy of who is the first to object to buying property. The future of mands that is a single enemy of the justice. In order for ably and fitter der that the On Sept. 9 they will have an opportunity to demonstrate their political knowledge and to wisely safeguard their civic status at Springfield. To properly protect themselves in Illinois two things are of imperative and paramount importance. The first is to bunch their votes and concentrate their forces upon a single colored man and nominate him. On account of the number of Negro candidates unwisely aspiring for the nomination the nomination of a Negro is inseparable from McGURN FOR COUNTY CLERK Indorsed by Building Trades Council, Organized Labor and City Baseball League. It is a pleasure to give publicity in this paper to the candidacy of business men who have been successful enough in their particular occupations to give confidence that their administration in public office will be honorable to themselves and a real value to the public. In this category of candidates we find Mr. Christopher J. McGurn aspiring to be he Democratic nominee for County Clrk. 1760 For the past ten years, at the head of the C.J. McGurn Plastering Co., his business activities have been above reproach. His counsel and judgment is recognized by his competitors in his constructive trade, with such confidence that he served them for eight years as president of the Plaster Contractors' Association. Always recognizing the rights of the "men behind the trowel" he piloted his association through many stormy periods without any unjust coercion of organized labor. Mr. McGurn resides at 3043 Walnut street, happily domesticated by a wife and five children. They provide an additional incentive for the sustaining of a clean record in business, moral or public life. He has the inheritance of Irish parentage, but was born in Chicago in 1874. He has been an active man in public affairs and is associated with the Cook County Democracy, Monroe Lodge of Columbian Knights and Illinois Council, Knights of Columbus.

This is also made vitally necessary because of the candidacy of William W. Brinkman, who is the first white real estate man to object to colored people living and buying property east of State street. The future of the colored people demands that they get together and vote as a single man to defeat this arch enemy of the Negro race and civil justice. In order for the colored people to be able and fittingly represented, in order that they may demonstrate that they wish to select their best candidate, in order that they may not lose the full force and effect of the Negro vote, in order that they may unite their forces to the greatest advantage for all the white and colored citizens of this district and make certain the defeat of William W. Brinkman, the well known civil traitor to the Negro and democracy. THEY SHOULD VOTE FOR THAT SPLENDID CITIZEN AND NOTED ORATOR. ADELBERT H. ROBERTS. WHEN THE DEFENDER LEARNED THAT THE COOK COUNTY Republican committee and 200 leading citizens had selected Col. F. A. Denison as one of the ten to run on the Republican ticket for County Commissioner, it endorsed their action. It did so because we believe he would be a successful candidate and best fitted and qualified for the place. These men sought him because he would lend strength and character to the ticket. Because he has served twenty long years as a faithful, honorable and intelligent public servant. That during the Busee administration he handled over $800,000 of the public's funds without the loss of a single penny. His long standing as a Republican, true and tried, his ability as a lawyer of the first water, a man of affairs interested in racial politics, should command every voter of the race to cast a vote for him in the primary, Wednesday, Sept. 9. We can't elect but one man, and Col. Denison has this chance in his favor; therefore let us rally to the man who is most likely to be nominated and elected. In the final analysis, when he is elected, the race will have in him a man who is courageous and fearless as their spokesman in the distribution of the jobs that are allotted by the Cook County Commission. Above all, at the polls, Sept. 9, don't forget to place a cross opposite F. A. Denison's name. The Eureka Fine Art club was entertained by the president, Mrs. Lou Ella Young, on Thursday afternoon, at which time they listened to the reports of the delegates who attended the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in Moline, Ill.

CALF ENOUGH ROPE AND H The defeat of Cole Blease at the print at the people of South Carolina are g t for this blot on the state. To sen ary mouths have done so much to di GIVE A CALF ENOUGH ROPE AND HELL HANG HIMSELF. The defeat of Cole Blease at the primaries for senator shows that the people of South Carolina are getting tired of being the goat for this blot on the state. To send such a man whose incendiary mouthings have done so much to disgrace his constituents to represent the state in the highest legislative body in the republic, would be a disgrace and a crime. A man whose principle is "to hell with the Constitution" had better be in a federal prison than a federal office. The time has passed for any man to rise politically or otherwise by oppressing others, making race prejudice their stock in trade. For a time South Carolinans were carried with the tide. It was popular to take a kick at the defenseless Negro. If there were laws on the statute books that gave him a semblance of a show they were either disregarded or new laws passed which annulled them. The Negro had no rights which the white man was bound to respect. Blease was in the saddle carrying the banner of "white supremacy" and the "crackers" and the ignorant majority did the rest. These rebels went so far with their barbaric treatment of their black citizens that the whole country rose in protest and pointed the finger of shame and scorn at them. The newspapers even in adjoining states held this un-American state up as an example of how low supposedly intelligent people could stoop, and some even advocated their expulsion from the union. It was likened to Russia and a more fitting comparison could not be made, save that Russia is a bit more humane. The title has turned; there is nothing quite so painful as remorse. They have been shamed not by the colored man or touched by his pleadings, but they have been frowned upon and practically ostracized by their own, and there is where the shoe pinches. We do not glory in any righteous man's downfall, but we will only remark in passing, peace be to the ashes of Cole Blease. A MAN TO BE PROUD OF—ISAAC FISHER. VERY OFTEN WE ASK OURSELVES, or our friends, what are we doing singly or collectively that is of any moment in the great scheme of world things. Few of us really know just what progress members of the race are making. Now and then something out of the ordinary has been accomplished by one of our workers and, in the language of the street, we sit up and take notice. The man or woman who is interested enough in the race to look beyond their immediate vision will be astounded to find the great number of our race who are really doing something worth while, who are blazing the way for others to follow. What a comfortable feeling comes over you when confronted with the query "What has your race ever done?" to have at the end of your tongue countless creditable things and deeds accomplished dating back as far as time. For the darker races had civilization long before their white brother and arts and crafts that have never been equalled. Today on every hand we find our men and women measuring up to the best, asking and giving no favors. Everybody's Magazine recently offered a prize of $500 for the best article on "RUM." Isaac Fisher, of Vicksburg, Miss.—need we add one of us?—was the winner of the prize. Something over nine thousand contested, but the editors in selecting Mr. Fisher's said: "Certain other letters have presented more extensive scientific analyses, but have confined the discussion to particular phases. Others have been brilliant in literary quality, but lacking in logical progression and care in the statement of facts. Mr. Fisher sums up the facts about rum with admirable comprehensiveness and a telling directness of style, and offers some remarkable sane suggestions." It might be noted in passing that not once has Mr. Fisher been referred to as an Afro-American, and it is well. The pity is that more journals do not follow out this same plan, especially when the comment is unfavorable. A product of Tuskegee, this remarkable man has risen to an enviable position in the literary field. He is the winner of nineteen other prizes on as many different subjects, and his papers have been translated into every known language. What isher has done should inspire every boy and girl in the land, in the truest sense is self made. That the race is proud of es without saying. Would that we had many more Isaac PAYING UP BACK DEBTS.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS are holding meetings and making extensive preparations to honor the slaves who guarded their master's family and property during the days of 1861-65. It is proposed to erect monuments in the principal cities of slave-holding states upon which appropriate inscriptions will be carved. Assuming that these old veterans who fought so bitterly to keep alive an institution un-christian-like and un-American to the core, believed sincerely their cause was right and that they had a God-given right to live by the sweat of another man's brow—have they not had time to reflect? Has old age and the working out of a kind providence made no impression upon them? Today their conscience tells them they owe something to the black man and woman, and many times ere night falls this same elastic conscience tells them that it isn't sympathy but a grudge they owe, and at the slightest provocation some poor unfortunate is made to feel the sting of their fury by being strung up to a tree, riddled with bullets or burned at the stake. Strange people these who can live with the light shining right in their eyes and yet sleep. It is said, and doubtless true, that it is never too late to mend. The Confederate veterans who feel this compelling spirit of remorse coming over them and wish to atone in a measure for the errors they have made in life, had better pray for strength to be consistent. What the black man needs in the South is not monuments to the faithfulness of the dead of his race, but monuments of justice, fairness, of equal opportunity to the living, to those who are struggling day by day for a livelihood. Monuments of peace and if not brotherly love at least brotherly toleration. We are not ungrateful, but we believe in being consistent.

So we say, let us flop while the water is still fine and while we can have a hand in the making of the new party. Surely if we get in on the ground floor we'll have the mechanism down so fine that if they do attempt later on to rock the boat we can manipulate it so we will not be the ones to take the dip. It's a chance, but it seems worth while. GOOD OFFICIALS AND OTHERS. LET IS THE POPULAR SLOGAN NOWADAY the rigidly applied when politics are concerned.

About two weeks ago the celebrated Darktown Follies struck town and proceeded to get in touch (heavy on the TOUCH) with the Defender to get the public notified of their presence. With the connivance of the Haymarket Theatre the Business Manager of the Follies JUMPED TOWN owing the Defender for publication. We appeal to the readers of this paper not to patronize this organization which would try to tear down an institution such as this, that has tried so hard to give you and the readers generally the best and greatest things of life—that to the best interest of all. We feel that any member of the race who helps to support such unscrupulous men as the one at the head of this company has no race pride and does not deserve the race's consideration. MONROE N. WORK, the great statistician, estimates the average life of Negroes in the principal cities of the South at 35 years, and says to this might be added at least ten years under proper health conditions. Health authorities making laws as they will cannot make a race of people clean and careful of their health or do much for their advancement without their active co-operation, and this can only be assured by educational methods.

"The Chicago Leader," made its first appearance last Saturday. Mr. W. Melvin Hutton, the editor of this bouncing infant, is no novice in the journalistic field, and we expect and feel sure than under his able guidance the Leader will become a power in the "Windy City." There is always room for one more good newspaper and the Chicago Defender heartily welcomes its new neighbor and bespeaks for it a liberal share of the good things in the newspaper field. THE ADVERTISING OF A "PETRIFIED NEGRO" by a fair sideshow in Kans City caused the residents to rise in protest and appeal to the prosecuting attorney to stop the exhibition, it being claimed that the show barker was injuring the good name of the race. This protest fervor is cropping out in all parts of the country. It is a good thing if it is not abused. IT IS BETTER TO MAKE FRIENDS with the mayor, the aldermen, the police, the county attorney and the people among whom we live than to have the President and his entire cabinet our friends, and the man who digs into the earth and sows his seeds will find that the earth knows no color line and will yield as plentifully for the hand of one race as another. THE LOWER BRANCH OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE of South Carolina passed a bill prohibiting white people from teaching us anything except the Bible. Now if they will only pass a law making it compulsory for the white people to read the Bible, they might gain something by absorption and we wouldn't be the sufferers after all. There are some things in the bible that even South Carolinans could read with profit. For instance, "Thou shalt not kill." MY, BUT THE CZAR OF RUSSIA IS A MEAN MAN. He recently issued an order to have the name of the capital city St. Petersburg changed to Petrograd, because the German for city is "burg," and he proposes to annihilate everything that savors of the bunch that he is now having a little controversy with.

Children are a fine institution and no well-regulated home should be without them, but there are moments when we even get tired of good things.

BY THE WAY, who has become of that movement to establish a Y. W. C. A.? If any city in the country is in need of one Chicago is that city. Get busy!

NOCASES ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES There are many forms and stages of appendicitis. In children appendicitis is very frequent and runs a severe and rapid course. Often it is very difficult to diagnose or tell just what you are dealing with. The child will often complain of pain in its stomach and its mother with a desire to relieve her child will give it some soothing syrup or something to allay the pain. This is a serious mistake. A careful examination of the child's abdomen should be made before giving any medicine to allay the pain and if a diagnosis of appendicitis is made, immediate operation should be done, because the death rate in children is very high. Appendicitis in adults and elderly people is often a difficult disease to diagnose, but as soon as the diagnosis is made, operation should be done (the operation is simple and not to be feared), within the first twelve or thirty-six hours. Appendicitis is a surgical disease and the individual who wastes time with application of poultices, and purging, is courting disaster. We cannot forecast the course of any case of appendicitis. Many of the symptoms may subside for the time being, but the individual is most likely to have another attack and no one can foretell or forecast the possibilities of any future or subsequent attacks. They usually grow worse. Our ignorant friends and advisers have been the cause of many deaths resulting from appendicitis. They often advise the sick person to postpone or delay the operation or advise the change of doctors every day—to give home remedies—to apply poultices, antiphlogestine and other remedies and useless stuff. They get the poor patient bewildered and cause him to postpone the operation until it is too late or until his appendix ruptures—peritonitis and blood poison set in. The patient, his friends, nor the skilled surgeon can not foretell what is going on in the abdomen in the region of the appendix. It is the part of wisdom to have this dangerous and offending organ removed as soon as it begins to trouble you or upon the advice of your attending physician. Don't be foolish and change doctors every day because he informs you of your true condition. If you are not satisfied with his advice and management of your case, have him with you to decide upon calling in another physician or surgeon for consultation. Remember that your physician is better-acquainted with the competent surgeons than you or your ignorant friends. No individual sick abed can manage his own case of appendicitis or any other sickness. How to Know Appendicitis. By stomach derangements, a feeling N Appendicitis. SEPTEMBER, 5 1914 of illness in the region of the stomach and bowels. Poor appetite, languid indisposition, pain in region of navel and all over the lower part of the abdomen sometimes; there is great pain and tenderness in the right flank or iliac region, rigidity or stiffness of the muscles in that region; nausea and vomiting. When you have several or all of these symptoms, you should know it is time for you to consult the surgeon because there is trouble brewing. The Treatment. There is only one real logical and approved sensible treatment of a well-defined case of appendicitis, and that is immediate operation. No one can tell what will be the result of a fulminating acute case of appendicitis. Don't listen to any fool nonsense about scattering appendicitis when you really have it. Don't allow anyone to give you morphine to ease the pain. Don't allow anyone to give you castor oil, salts or anything to open bowels except upon the advice of your intelligent operating surgeon. A bad case of appendicitis jn you is just as dangerous as a lighted match in the hands of a blind foo. near a powder magazine. You don't know what the fool will do with the lighted match—just so you don't know what the fool will do for you in attempting to scatter a fulminating case of appendicitis. It may result in gargrene or rottening of your appendix, peritonitis, blood poison and th' saddest tragedy—death. WAR!

Defender's Legal Helps: I was sued in the municipal court for $78. I failed to appear as I was summoned on Monday which is my busy day. Now I have been served with a paper called an execution which says to make a return within ninety days from this date. Does that mean that I have ninety days to pay the amount named as a judgement? Answer.—If you will look on the outside of the paper you will find that you only have ten days from the date you were served with the execution to schedule, and not ninety days. The ninety days refers to the time in which the officer has to make his return. If within this time you have not paid and no levy bond has been filed for making a levy, the officer will return no goods found. But if a levy bond is filed, a levy will be made and whatever property that can be found will be seized and a custodian placed in charge at $4 a day for 10 days after which the seized goods will be sold to pay the expenses and the amount of the judgment, which will be considerably increased by the custodian fee of $4 a day. Civil Rights. I was refused the accommodations of a public place and I wish to know if I have any redress under the law of illinois? Answer.—The Civil Rights Act provides that all citizens of Illinois shall be entitled to all the accommodations of public places, except for such reasons as may apply to all citizens, without regard to race or color. If you have been refused service in any restaurant, saloon, hotel, theater or other public place, or any discrimination shown you on account of race or color, you may enter a civil suit and may recover in damages from $25 to $500; or you may have a warrant to issue and prosecute as in any other criminal case and the offender may be fined from one to $500. Your attention is called to the fact that the patron should conduct himself properly and be sure to secure evidence of the discrimination before attempting to take action in the courts. Women's Votes Will you inform me for what officers women may vote for in this state? Answer.—Women may not and cannot vote for constitutional officers at the present time. They may vote for the following officers: Clerk of the appellate court of the district, three trustees of the sanitary district of Chicago, two members of the board of assessors of Cook county, one member of the board of review of Cook county, eleven judges of the municipal court of Chicago, three trustees of the University of Illinois. FROM OUR EXCHANGES "Sit Tight." in your remarkable editorial, "Sit Tight! Don't Rock the Boat!" I see a lesson for the Negro. The idea has a universal application, and our race may well heed the infunction. Members of the race have been gravely apprehensive respecting the course the Democratic administration would pursue concerning them. But let us hope that in the light of our newer civilization there is no cause for alarm; that the Democratic administration will be not less considerate of the rights of all the people than the Republican administration; that the "sit tight" policy of the president will continue to obtain, and that he will see to it justice is meted out to all, regard Finally, the Negroes should "sit tight." At a time like this, in the crucial period of our race's history, when segregation, "microism and lynchings threaten us, we should "sit tight." We can do this by getting closer together; not in simply organizing, but in following our leaders. Let us pray for more worthy leaders; then let us follow them like soldiers. — Ford S.
