(Special to the Chicago Defender) Hopkinsville, Ky., Jan. 23—The Daily Kentucky New Era in its issue of Saturday, January 23, gives prominence to the following: "There were nearly as many white people at the opera house last night as there were colored to witness the presentation of 'King Ubydam,' and everybody was highly pleased with the offering. It was truly a home talent show, not only the parts being taken by leading colored people, but the lines being written by Phil Brown, editor of the Saturday News, and the songs he wrote. The author had also done the major part in drilling the cast. And the performance last night added fresh laurels to his reputation for wit, facility and ease of expression and his ability to give keen insight into local affairs. "The play is a bright vehicle, giving lots of opportunity for highrise work and being arranged purely for entertainment and fun. 'King Ubydum', fresh from Senegambia, pays a song and is entertained by the hero of Veuve Clyde, capitally taken by Will Norman, and pupils of that institution. Walter Robinson, as Jack Josher, invigiled him into running for council from the Fifth ward, otherwise known as Mayor of the Old Field. Also William Simpson, as Bill Wisdom, gets the king into a game of craps, which is intertwined with the heroine Hezekiah Johnson, part played by Rich Harding. Finally Mrs. Partnina Splutts, in the person of Hooser Jones, appears on the scene in search of her erring husband, and she finds him in the king and leads him off by the ear when he is at the zenith of his population. In part of the king was most creditably part of the company. All the other parts were in thoroughly capable hands, and the singing by several members of the company was one of the best features of the show." HON. E. H. WRIGHT ELECTED PRES. OF BAR MEETING HON.

NOTED FIGURE IN COURTS. Case in Question One of Many Handled by this Distinguished Lawyer —Clients Serving Six-Year Term at Leavenworth Penitentiary. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Helena, Ark., Jan. 28—History repeated itself in this city last Thursday when three judges of the United States circuit court of appeals listened with profound interest to the plea of an Afro-American attorney, a graved hail, appeared before them in the federal district in defense of three white men. Probably few people in the room realized that a gray-haired man sitting near the front of the room was a noted lawyer who was appearing before every United States judge in the central district in many famous trials until he started his argument. The attorney, Turner W. Bell, represented the men who are confined in the federal penitentiary at leavenworth, with sentences on convictions of conspiracy in the famous structural iron workers dynaming cases two years ago. Has Many Big Cases. Mr. Bell fingered his brief as he sat listen to the armament of Assistant United States Army Lt. Harvey of the eastern district of Kansas, representing the government. He had spoken but few words, however, when the crowd knew that such incidents evidently were in the everyday life of the distinguished attorney. The men represented by Bell are white, and were given sentences of six years at Indianapolis in December, 1922. Recalls McNamara Case. They were convicted of being implicated in more than 100 dynaming cases—including the destruction of the Times building in Los Angeles—in half of the states of the United States. They were at one time officers of the McNamara case, a woman who was a member and is now a life sentence in California. The men are Phillip A. Cooley, Frank C. Webb and Jack Bright, the latter also known as J. Munsey. The appellant in the case is Thomas W. Morgan, warden of the Leavenworth penitentiary. Attorney Bell represented the men in the United States district court in Kansas City and was defeated. He appealed to the court which heard him last week. Decision in Six Months.

The promoters announced that self-help was the main object of the organization, and that in time they would endeavor to affiliate with the National Alliance, of which H. L. Minns of Houston, Texas, is president. Some years ago the Railway Mall Association (white) found itself falling and the Afro-Americans in the service were invited to join. A number did so, but when the association got on its feet again it made a ruling that no other members of the race could join, but those already in could remain. It was then that the National Alliance was organized. "Jim Crowed" in Chicago. The reporter covering this assignment heard her name of the appearance of the Wise Man, bugaboo, segregation, in this branch of the federal service. In Chicago it appears that all Afro-Americans have been taken off train runs and put to work in the terminals. Train service brought the two races into too close contact for the powers that be. From St. Louis, Mo, comes the report that in the general office the Afro-American employees handle only newspapers, in another room and consequently the white clerks handling the first-class mail do not work with their darker skinned brothers. The Chicago Defender wishes the members of the organization success in helping each other to hold their own.

SOME AMONG PIONEERS. Although Influx Has Been Gradual Race Has Been Identified with Growth of. Communities Since 1851 Coming with Mormon Missionaries. By Eloise Bibb Thompson, Contribut ing Editor. Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 29.—In a recent issue of a Los Angeles newspaper, under the head of "items of interest," a writer said that two phases in the forward movement of the Afro-American race: The one is its intense avidity for education; the other, its reach for agricultural independence. The other, its race's ambition are evident in California as well as in the black belt, where for the most part its progress is reckoned. His coming in large numbers to the White gists and statisticians have failed to take into account to any great extent his progress on the Pacific coast; but the facts and figures gleaned from careful study and observation of what has been said in California are indeed surprising. Although his influx to the west coast has been gradual, increasing perceptibly within the last ten years, yet, according to recognized authority, it has been the case that he have been in the far West since the early days of the sixteenth century. A few are said to have assisted Babylon in constructing the first ship that he set sail in the Pacific ocean, and 300 years later he set sail in his compass of Mexico in 1529. 20.000 in Los Angeles. According to the census of 1850 there were 962 free people of African descent in California in that year, the greatest number being in Sacramento, the present capital of California. The census of the same year gives but two as the population of the city of Los Angeles, which number has grown to more than 20,000 at the present time. Although goldseeking influence some of the immigrants of the last century, other considerations also were responsible for their coming. Mormon missionaries came to California about the year of 1851, bringing with them a few black shakers who eventually were sent to California in 1852, and invested in California after the departure of the missionaries to other fields. Discharged soldiers from the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry were sent to the Twenty-fifth infantry campaign of 1872-80. After the exile terms of service, being charmed with the mildness of climate and realizing that wages were extraordinarily good in California, they took up their abode in the city. They and their relatives back East to do the same. Others came in to crews to Los Angeles to fit up hotels such as the Nadeau, the Hollenbeck and the United States, all of which employed them. They earned $50 a month with room and board. Porters Well Paid. Another inducement to a residence in California was offered to the porter by the Pullman company, $40 a month for a run from Los Angeles to Coolidge, N. M., being paid, whereas only $10 was paid for an eastern trip. He was also forced to very strong motive for migration. Because of the Afro-American's knowledge of English and his experience in agriculture he was preferred to Chinese labor in the planting of trees and the digging of irrigation ditches, etc. Government claims have recently attracted the people to California, as the lands having been claimed by them for Victorville during the past four years. The Afro-American's reach for agricultural independence and his aspiration for acquiring property in California are due largely to the cultural heritage of the state, derived from his white employer and the prosperity of the state. He has conceived a strong desire to own some of the land of which so much is expected. His aspirations in this direction are exhibited even in a city like Riverdale, where the population of the race number 516 in the town is 19,000. Most of the people of both Riverside and the neighboring town of San Bernardino own their own homes and are farm owners as well, "their record for theft," according to the chamber of commerce of Riverside, exceedingly above the average." 1,200 In Pasadena. And this admirable spirit of progress is also observed in Pasadena, a town of about 41,000 inhabitants, 1,200 homes, 1,000 apartments, who for the most part own spacious, well-furnished and well-kept homes. Some of these property owners have secured holdings which have greatly increased recently refused $20,000 for his corner lot. The enterprise of the Pasadenaans is shown in the organization of two co-operative associations, the Pasadena Valley and the San Gabriel Valley Industries pany, both of which have secured property that is rapidly becoming valuable. The educationah aspiration of the educationah is the belief that the holed in the fact that the majority of the high school graduates from Pasadena matriculate in higher institutions of learning. There are several in the Los Angeles Normal School, in the University of Southern California and in the Universities of Illinois and Chicago. The town of Watts, in the vicinity of Los Angeles, has an energetic, industrious population numbering something like 600. The majority of these people came from the South and purported to be graduates, after having secured employment in Angeles. Their preference for a suburban home with its possibility of truck farming, poultry and cattle raising was the underlying motive for their choice of Watts as a place of residence. Consequently there are in this little town a number of farmers who own thriving ranches that not them a considerable income. The eagerness for wealth on the part of the Californian may be illustrated in the He of Lloyd D. Twine, a resident of Riverside. Mr Twine wished to travel twoago with his family and settled in Riverside, Cal. He was offered, soon after his arrival, a situation as jantor of the First National Bank of El Paso in Valley—a position which he accepted after locating his family in Riverside. Rumors of what California has accomplished, what she will accomplish with the opening of the Panama canal, of the steady increase in her land and property, of the eastern corporations in her cities came to Mr. Twine from the lips of the capitalists who patronized the bank where he was employed. Likewise, prophecies reached him of the future prosperity of the profitable alfalfa farms, her large citrus greens sending out annually thousands of cars of oranges to all parts of the country, etc., and he determined to bend every effort to purchase the city as he could possibly secure. He determined to waste no time in recreation or amusement, to but till all his hours with remunerative employment. With this end in view he has secured three banks besides having been city postoffice, the express office, the telegraph office and the public library. During his five years' residence in California he has bought three houses in Riveride and one in Duarte, Cal., for which he has paid the total sum of $5,500. Increase in Values. Following are a few striking instances that were written up recently in a Los Angeles newspaper that prove that California has influenced the race to become a factor in the economic progress of the state. In 1972, Twelfth and San Pedro streets, Los Angeles, is an estate owned by an Afro-American, Theodore Troy, the property consisting of nine apartments of three rooms each and two stores, one of which he himself occupies for business purposes. His property was bought in 1884 for $33,000. He owned another owner came to Los Angeles about twenty-two years ago. He was almost penniless and secured work as a boot-black in a barber shop. Later he worked as porter in hotels until he had accumulated enough money to go to college. He eventually that venture failing to prosper, he relinquished it for that of letter carrier, in which service he remained for eleven years. He is now carrying on a prosperous second-hand furniture store with a stock of several thousand dollars and donated $1,000 to the Y. M. C. A. Another example of thrift and self-sacrifice is exhibited in the person of A. J. Jones, a Los Angeles citizen, who arrived here some twenty years ago and is now able to retire. Mr. Jones first cooked in hotels and private residences for two months. Later he opened up a hotel on First and San Pedro streets. Property Worth $85,000. His place was so well patronized by a cosmopolitan class of people that he was able, after seven years, to remove his business to a two-story brick building on Second and San Pedro streets, pay $20,000 cash, now worth $5,000, besides the secured property on West Third- sixth street and other holdings which subsequently increased in value. Being advanced in years, the greater portion of his business devoted to religious and philanthropic work is on the managing board of the Y. M. C. A. and a regular contributor to its $100,000 fund. The financial success of the race in California is also illustrated in the business of the company who started with nothing and who has recently refused $33,000 for his business. Arriving in Los Angeles twenty-seven years ago from southern Ohio, Mr. Dunston after some little time purposed a horse and wagon and entered into the business of the company year later he bought another horse and gradually increased his stock until he built the business that has been known for years as the Los Angeles Stock and Storage Company, the main office of which is at 52 South Spring street. Mr. Dunston's stock now consists of four open wagons, seven vans, two large auto trucks and seventeen horses. Besides owning the barn sit-downs at 14 Pecan street and the warehouse on the property, Mr. Dunston owns the property at 112, 114, 116 and 118 Pecan street, and $12, 116, 822 and $21 Linden street. Mr. Dunston's wealth, including stock in various corporations, is now estimated at something like $125,000.

He adds again: "Here is an aggressive, hopeful group with some wealth, large industrial opportunities and a buoyant spirit." On estate in Los Angeles owned by heirs, inherited from Afro-American ancestors in California, is valued at $250,000. But the majority of present well-to-do Angelones have themselves succeeded from the land about them. The people of Los Angeles have two newspapers, 10 lawyers, 11 doctors and dentists and about 18 churches. They are members of the chamber of commerce, a body which for the promotion of the city's interests, and patrons of most of the banks, it being almost impossible to go into any of the banks without finding at least a half dozen race repositories during banking hours.

PALMER HOUSE BOYS There are few delinquents and few criminals among the estimated 20,000 Afro-American people of Los Angeles and vicinity, a statement sustained by the Los Angeles county jail and municipal counties county jail and state prisons: Number of Afro-American families assisted during the year 1912 by the Los Angeles county charities, 13. Number of Afro-American children dependent by the juvenile court, for whom the county paid board and care, 7. Number of Afro-American children paid for in orphans' homes, none. Number of Afro Americans out of the 275 prisoners sent recently to the Los Angeles county jail. Number of Afro Americans out of the 55 prisoners sent from July 1, 1913, to July 1, 1914, to San Quentin prison from Los Angeles county, 9.

JOHN ALBERT IS NOT PLEASED WITH CITIZENS'MEETING Writer Declares That Gathering at Olivet Baptist Church Monday Night to Select a Race Man for Alderman Failed of Its Purpose. ONLY ONE MAN FAVORED Close Observer See's Ample Evidence of Pre-arranged Plan-Asks What Good Was Accomplished and Quotes Scripture. By John Albert "Citizens' meeting for the purpose of promoting the selection of a colored alderman to the common council, at Olvet Baptist church." Those words were scattered broadcast over the city of Chicago last week, and on Monday night the citizens of all classes assembled at the unarmed church to assist, as they thought, the need for all Negroes are desirous of having a Negro representative in the city council. The first thing that attracted our attention was the partiality shown in the selection of ushers in that all were to have had their instructions seemed to have had their instructions as to who should be seated on the platform, for after a careful observation of the speakers seated thereon, one could readily see that they also were candidates in the three candidates now in the race. Yet this was to be the citizens' meeting. Regarding the Speeches. Careful attention was given to the several speeches made by both white and colored, but the writer was very forcefully impressed by the remarks of the second speaker on the program. He said in part that all of the candidafter he had hoped they would have been present as he liked to talk to men and not about them. We appreciated those remarks and thought that he intended to be fair and impartial until we saw one of the most prominent ministers of the church once enter while the speaker was yet on his way; saw that prominent minister, who had come by invitation, seated in the rear, and on questioning and usher why he was not invited to the front, was quietly informed that it was against orders. We were allowed allowances for the oversight, one of the things dates came quietly into the room and when we saw he was not even recognized, much less invited to the rostrum, we were firmly convinced that the card sent out earlier in the week had matured and misleading, and that we had been led into a one man's meeting. No Place for Questions. Later on some gentleman to the left asked permission to ask a question. He was informed that unless he kept quiet he would be punished. Then came the reading of a resolution one side of the question and one man had been placed before the people. Yet it was a citizens' meeting. The people were not ready to answer the question was called for, half of the people present answered, not ready, and were on their feet. They tried in vain to get recognition from the people. The dumb ears and amid noise and confusion the motion was declared carried. Such high-handed methods were never in the old days of boss rule, not even in the 1920s. But it is claimed dead men were voted. "As Ye Sow—" I have given the public a true account of that meeting from an unbiased point of view and only as an interested spectator. What good was accomplished by such a meeting? The Negroes' eyes were opened. They are demanding redress and they will have How. By the ballot. They will then be able to secret what they were not able to do in public, and that is, show to the world that they are fully qualified to select their own representatives. And it would be well for the promoters to remember one thing and that is— "Be not deceived, for God is not mocked; Whatsoever men soweth, that must they also reap." CEDAR RAPIDS, NOWA By T. H.

It money were as easy to make as it is to spend what a delightful world this would be to live in, but unfortunately this condition does not exist. Many of us, however, do not realise until it is too late. The time to save money is when you are making it, for invariably there will come that promised rainy day when you will be in dire need of it. Chicagoans have learned the lesson well, as is evidenced by the great number of homes them, and yet it is all practically for them, and not twenty years ago the colored people owned a piece of property here and there in the city, but today we number them by the hundreds, and all of this came about through the easy system of payments, and yet it is to be wondered why so many continue to pay high entitlement when this money can be used. It is much better to take time by the forces and today to be a home owner. The firm of Fred H. B. Hartlett & Co. have a plan whereby you can make your rent money buy you a home.

Co. & Co., who hold a long form of the bill, called "The Line Between," which is better than the average tab seen here. Paris Green, who is a real monologist, was a hit, and all in all this is the best bill seen here in a long time. Alex Thomas, the strong man, showed some real development here last half last week, and jugged the four hundred pound balls as if they only weighed an ounce; Alten Simmers had some new jokes and songs which he put over in approved style, and A. Marks & Co., in a Yildiz family comedy, were good, the Yahouda comedian being away above the average. Cross & Lemonier, the Two Toms, have a clever piano act, using several original numbers, and introducing some kitchen comedy which is out of the ordinary. Lemonier's xylophone imitation is a delight, the musical note must call for great hollowness in the head. James Galvin's "Masqueraders" was a burlese first part, and carried with it several features never seen here be fore. The Original Creole Band he begins a week's engagement here or Monday, and among the future bookings are Harrison Stewart & Co., the Bright Forgot-Me-Nots and the Rea Quartette. Old Monogram. The Abyssinian Trio, who opened here Monday, are the class, and their rendition of classic numbers is a real treat. This trio was seen at the Grand a few weeks ago, and is far and away the best trio on this time. Harper Puggleys, the acrobat and barrel jumper, is a novelty, his work being a real novelty. Brown & Dumont, who are fair, complete the bill. New Monogram. Tolliver & Chappelle are going good here, and are putting their stuff over in the same old way. Beatrice Johnson is a clever single, and Jones & Listen, singing, talking and dancing act, are good. Kauthe, Polley & Kauthe, physical culture exponents, of great development, are a hit, and is the best act of its kind ever booked in here. The Phoenix Al Gaines did some real booking here this week among the drawing cards being "Broncho Billy," "The Man from the Sea," "The Snugglers of Lone Island," "Out of the Past," "King," "The Recent Confederate Victory," which is being strengthened by appropriate song numbers by the In. Trio, Friday and Saturday, and arry Pickford in "Tess of the Storm outntry." Sunday brings the great star drama by Kleine, "One in a Milieu." The Lincoln. Among the features which showed at this popular house during the week were "A Question of Courage," "A Study in Scarlet," "The Master Key," "The Beautiful Unknown," "The Pauper" and "The Small Town Girl." Sunday brings Wilton Lackaye in the great five-reel drama, "The Pit." The Washington. Business continues good at this house, and the features seen here during the week were right up to the standard. "Surgeon Warren's Ward," a Canadian drama in two parts, was shown on Monday, and was followed during the week by "The Scorpion's Sting," "A War Baby," "The Stolen Bones," and "The Morra's Doom." The Sunday feature will be Detective Webb in the great three-reel drama, "The Man in the Cellar." The States. This has been a great week at this house, some of the world's most famous players having been seen on the screen here. Aside from the regular serials, "Zudora," "Exploits of Elaine," and "Runaway June," the great features, "The Chocolate Soldier" and "Should a Woman Divorce?" were presented as was Leslie Carter and the original cast in the famous play, "Du Barry," in which the great actress starred some years ago. Sunday brings Lillian Russell in the sensational racing drama, "Wild Fire," in five parts. The Pekin. Manager W, H. Smith announces the reopening of this theater on next Saturday.

The Grand Theater gives out the information that Harrison Stewart & Co. will be the attraction in the near future.

EDUCATION PREVENTS SPREAD OF WHITE PLAGUE, SAY EXPERTS United States Health Officials Show That Ignorance of Proper Precau- tions Is Responsible for Harboring of Disease and Transmission to Others. (Press Service, Department of Health.) In the current issue of the United States public health reports is found a report on the spread of tuberculosis report of a survey made by the Minnesota state board of health, involving a study of the spread of tuberculosis in five counties of the state named. As a basis for the studies made, a list of all those who had died of tuberculosis in each of the five counties during the year 1911 and up to August 1, 1912 was compiled. Then the surviving members of each family were looked up and in all cases where consent could be obtained each individual was given a careful physical examination and tabulated data were prepared. As a result of the studies the infected persons were grouped as follows: 1, complete exposure; 2, partial exposure; 3, doubtful exposure. Under this classification it was found that in the group exposed 74 per cent of the monarch of the house was 70 per cent of the members showed signs of infection, and in the non-pulmonary group 32 per cent. Of those classed as complete exposures 74 per cent under 16 years of age and $1 per cent of those over 16 showed evidence of infection. Of those partially exposed 15 per cent under 16 and 32 per cent of those over 16 years of age showed evidence of infection. In the doubled exposure group none under 16 and only 13 per cent of those over 16 years of age showed evidence of infection. The above figures, taken in connection with the detailed studies, serve to emphasize the need and value of popular education as to the nature of the disease, to the treatment, and the care of those afflicted with it in a way that prevents them from being a source of danger to the well. In some localities of the counties covered by the survey it was found that more than half of the farm houses had harbored the disease, thus showing that unrestricted communication, together with ignorance of the people to whom they are preoccupied, to be observed for their own protection, was responsible to a great extent for the spread of the disease. Now is a good time for a sort of a midwinter cleanup of your premises. There is always an accumulation of rubbish and castaway-material during the winter season that, as a rule, is left to lie undisturbed until spring. It should be gathered up and placed in the crates for removal by the city wagons. There are no good reasons, why premises should be kept neat, tidy and attractive in the summer and neglected altogether in the winter. MOBILE, ALA. By W. C. Sample.

"The Monarch club, the leading social club of the twin cities, initiated into its club two members Friday evening, Jan. 15th, the two new members being Mr. L. R. Brewlove and Mr. William Mallory of this city. After the initiation had been finished, luncheon was served at the chop suey parlors. The club has eleven active members. One of the members stated to the Defender reporter that the club was never in such a flourishing condition. The club's sixth annual dance will be held on the 25th of February instead of the 22d, as was stated in a recent issue of this paper. * * * The new Majestic theater gave its first vaudeville show composed of home talent, luncheon, Jan. 22d. Mr. Bailey Hilt & Co. in the new strut, the smart set comedy, was played very nicely for amateurs. The house was filled to the doors. The program was as follows: Overture; Earnest & Less Hilt, singing and dancing; Donaldson & Walker Edwards, in a "Trip to New York" past and future. A. M. E. Church. "The Influence of Love on Life" was the theme on which Rev. Jameson preached in the morning, and at the evening services he spoke on "Holy Ghost Power." Salem Baptist Church Salmon Baptist Church. The morning subject was "Gilead Bain and Physician." The B. Y. P. u. m.ination was led by B. F. Crushon, L. B. Alexander is acting as instructor. The pastor's visit at 7:30 was "The Voice of God." I notice that some of our people are still patronizing the white theaters, where they are not wanted, when they have one of their own and where they can go and their patronage will be appreciated. I truly hope that this will not still continue, because I think that the people of the twin cities have more respect for their race than to pass up the Majestic theater for the race's theaters. I appeal to the twin cities to patronize one another, those who are in business can give as much for the same amount of money as you can get from your broker, in white. On my daily rounds, I see daily papers in the yards of homes that are never opened but are paid for in advance and some of these people can't find anything in a race paper to interest them, and when asked to subscribe they want you to wait several weeks for the money. I guess this is their reason.

Which way do we screw it when we want the weather to be fine?"—New York Weekly. PENNSYLVANIA JUDGE UPHOLDS PLAIN LAW informed by the defendant that they could not be accommodated there, but must go to the balcony. There were a number of unoccupied seats on the first floor, with which the defendant rested to accommodate the prosecutor and his friend. The jury has found the reason for color of the persons to whom this accommodation was refused. The case is now before us upon defendant's motion in arrest of judgment and for a new trial. No reasons are specifically assigned for the granting of a court order to the defendant should be arrested for various reasons set forth in points submitted at trial, alleging the unconstitutionality of the act, and the right of the defendant, as the manager of a place of amusement to admit on behalf of an unoccupied second, first and third points which were reserved at the trial assert that the proprietor of the theater or place of amusement has the right, being engaged in a private private business, to refuse admission to anyone whom he admitted. The person admitted, the person so admitted may be accommodated with any seat which the manager, for reasons satisfactory to himself, may see it to assign him. If there were no statute regulating admission to theaters, the agents of places of entertainment the legal proposition contained in these points might perhaps be affirmed, but when a citizen chooses to open a place of entertainment or amusement and invites the general public to attend, he is bound by the existing statute regulations therein." Illinois and New York Cases Illinois and New York Cases. Judge McMarrell here cited the case of Stmn v. the State of Illinois; also the case of King v. the State of New York. "The city of Harrisburg has been given authority to regulate theaters and places of entertainment and has exercised it by the passage of ordinance directed by the defendant. The validity of the New York statute was sustained in New York v. King, supra, and similar statutes were held to be valid in the case of Stmn v. Joseph v. Bridwell, 21 Louisiana Annual 382. In Ferguson v. Gles, 9 L. E. A. 589, the supreme court of Michigan held a similar statute as to accommodations at a restraint to excessive power. The statute now under consideration was considered by this court in the matter of Russ's Application, 20 Ct. Civ. Objective to the removal of a hotel upon the ground that the licensee had discriminated against the colored race with respect to the accommodations at his hotel. Judges Simonton and Pugh passed upon the question raised said: "A sober, respectable and well-behaved colored man or woman is entitled under the law of Pennsylvania to be received in any house of entertainment and to be treated in the same manner as any other guest. It is time to be more aware of the state. So far as legislation can aid in accomplishing this desirable end in licensed houses the law is sufficient; nothing more is needed than to enforce the statute; and this it is our intention to do. Within the jurisdiction of this court our plaint duty is to ensure that our good faith asks from the keeper of a licensed house the same treatment that other guests receive." Statute Is Plain. "As the statute refers to places of entertainment and amusement as well as hotels, this language is particularly applicable and is equivalent to a declaration that no citizen may be denied equal accommodation at a place of work or entertainment within this commissary on account of race or color. "We see no reason for granting a new trial nor for declaring the act under which the indictment was framed as unconstitutional or invalid in any way. The pending motion in the case of the defendant, "forere overturned and the district is at liberty to move for judgment upon the verdict as rendered." IDLE TO TALK OF EQUALITY Writer Cites Two Typical Cases That Seem to Shatter the Beautiful Theory. --- Two children are born on the same day-born with equal power of body, mind and soul. One is carefully fed, well clothesed and housed, taken to the mountains in summer, surrounded by cultured men and women, and by teachers, tutors, and students in school and college, and at the age of twenty-two established in a law office with the best of recommendations and prospects. The other child, badly fed and housed, grows up in an atmosphere of neglect. His body is anemic; his mind is untrained. His father, who falls sick; so at twelve the undeveloped, neglected boy is sent, without encouragement or outlook, to tie threads in a cotton mill. At twenty-two he is earning nine dollars a week. At times the ambition to study law has fitted across his mind, but who would support mother and the child in the work at his book? He dismisses the thought and goes on with his work. If the first boy he had been similarly reared he would be in the cotton factories. He would have been a handicap of physique, mental training, soul expansion and ten years of freedom to play and grow.

MAKING THE HUMBLE PENNY By the Use of Ingenious Machinery the Coins Are Turned Out and Sorted Quickly. We speak of copper coins as "copper" for short. In reality the penny is bronze, a mixture of copper, tin and zinc. This metal arrives at the mint in long bars. It is put into closed crucibles in a closed furnace, where the immense heat mats it unburned and melts it, removing any impurities in the metal. The purified metal is poured into long, thin molds and cooled, after which it is pressed between powerful rollers into sheets the exact size and thickness. The metal is then strips now go to another machine. This one is called the "cutter." It cuts the metal into round disks the size of a penny. The scraps fall into a tray beneath and are melted again in the furnace, so that nothing remains. The blank disks are now brought to a machine which raises the edges of the coin. This protects the face of the penny from a great deal of wear. After this process they are baked for two and a half hours to strengthen them. They are ready for the stamping machine.

What Heaven Means to Me When we have traversed the dim leagues, and have seen things wonderful at every turn, and have passed through the bitter flood, we shall find the city of God from which we shall go no more out, but another road passing into wider fields and dimmer uplands, and to things more and more wonderful and strange and unseen in the city.

M'COY IS HONORED BY CLUB (Continued from page 1.) the city were in the receiving line, together with the participants of the evening's program. Editor Pays Tribute. Miss Charlotte Spers, edress of the California Eagle, a local weekly, told the audience of Rev. Mr. McCoy's work of uplift, reviewing his efforts in behalf of the Second Baptist Church during the past seven years. "During a period of 'three short years', Miss Spears began, 'our energetic pastor, having taken charge of the Second Baptist Church when it became the largest sum of $4,100 and cleared the church of all its obligations. The remainder of his time among us has been devoted to tripling its membership and to influencing of all of its members in the school work, the missionary societies, the Y. M. B. Brotherhood and the B. Y. P. U—to such an extent that all these associations are still supporting. The year of 1915 arrived," continued Miss Spears, "and found the Second Baptist Church having deposited to its credit a good sum against contingencies in one of the local banks. As soon as our office on Maple avenue is disposed of we will erect an ample church building, having deposited to its corner of Fifteenth Street and Paloma avenue, this land being also free from indebtedness, thanks to the wisdom and sagacity of our faithful pastor." Introduces New Method. Miss Spears then told of New, Mr McCoy's introduction of the New Testament method of contributing to the Second Baptist Church—a method that does away with the giving of concerts and the publication of a great extent. Each member but instead pledges himself to a certain amount, which he gives at a stated time, fulfilling his obligation with the preparation for her engagement on the part of the minister. Honored at Convention. "Not only southern but northern California," Miss Spares assured her audience, "is aware of the constructive work that our tireless pastor is capable of accomplishing, a fact that is demonstrated in the appreciation shown him at Pesona recently, when he was a member of the forna Baptist Convention. May his efforts be prolonged in our midst." The speaker concluded with a few congratulatory remarks in behalf of the missionary society of the Second Baptist Church, an organization espousing the Christian faith, which has recently raised $600 towards the erection of a more adequate old folks' home at Abila. She also commended the Allen Allenworth Club, which, under the leadership of its able president, Mrs. Clara Hubert, has been a model of same end that, is to raise the remaining sum necessary for the erection of the above named structure. Mission Supported More than $200,000 is contributed every year by the churches over the country for home mission work. These churches support 200 home missionaries and aid 250 needy churches being supported out the United States, under the auspices of the National Baptist's convention, organized a foreign mission board, which now superintends the work of 150 foreign churches, five foreign countries, containing a total number of fifty-one stations, eighty-three outstations and forty-three organized churches, the communicants numbering 17,400. The expenditures for the past year, including the maintenance of the above named stations and churches, and the salaries of forty-three native workers and 451 other helpers, amounted to something more than $100,000. According to reports published by the census bureau of a few years ago and estimates by religious authorities, there are in the United States about 25,000 Afo-American churches, with the valuation of whose church property is very nearly $75,000,000. CURRAN'S WIT SAVED HIDE Eminent Irishman Probably Never Used His Tongue to Better Advantage to Himself. During a trial in Tipperary, Curran made a scathing attack on a land agent. Two days later an enraged gentleman burst into his bedroom in Dublin, before the counselor was out of bed, and, flourishing a horse-whip savagely, said: "Sir, your gentleman you insulted in the courthouse in Clonnel in the presence of the whole county, and I'm here to thrash you soundly." "What!" exclaimed Curran, indignantly. "You call yourself a gentleman, and yet you mean to strike a man when he's lying down" "No, bedad," protested the agent, advantage of his enemy, and sitting in bed, "just wait till you get out of bed, then I'll give it to you hot and heavy." "Truth, if that's the way of it," said Curran, "I'll lie here till you change your mind." And he turned over on his other hand, he laughed and the counselor laughed, and came to whip stayed to dine, and the pair parted the best of friends. Lost Nickel in a Mill Brace A wealthy mill owner in a small town on the Wabash river, whose plant was operated by power derived from the war of the river, several years ago, bought a nickel in the mill race. This man actually had his employees close the headgear of the mace in order to secure his nickel after the water had emptied itself into the river. Awaiting His Turn The Scotch minister rose and cleared his throat, but remained silent, while the congregation awaited the sermon in puzzled expectancy. At last he spoke: "There's a laddle awa' there" and he continued, "When he does' all hell begin." Gypsies Unpopular Some two hundred thousand gypsies wander about Hungary and are regarded as a dangerous community. So notorious are their thieving propensities that they are not allowed inside the towns, while the villages tolerate them for only two days. **Common Falling.** How many people apparently prefer to remain morally ignorant rather than know that truth which would make them morally uncomfortable.

MADE IT ALL QUITE PLAIN Take It for What We Worth A London visitor at the Lambda's club recounted a new version of the notable empathy which followed the friendship that had existed between Whistler and Wilde. The latter one day asked the artist's opinion upon a poem presented by the poet, presenting a copy to be read. Whistler said it was handing it back without comment. "Well," queried Wilde, "do you perceive any worth?" "It's worth its weight in gold." "Replied Whistler. It was written on the very thinnest tissue paper, weighing practically nothing.

If the solar spectrum be examined at an altitude of from three to four thousand meters above the ground, the rays varies little, but that their intensity is greatly increased. At sea level this intensity is comparatively feeble. So one is much more likely to be in a high mountain than in a valley. Basket or Baguette When you use the racket in playing tennis you do not stop to think what it means and how difficult it has been to trace the word. Some thought that the racket was made by the ball striking it, but this is impossible.

DE PRIEST QUESTIONS (Continued from Page 1) from Mr. DePriest. I would respectfully ask you, Mr. Editor, to throw open the columns of your valuable answers to the question for whatever answers he may desire. These questions and will agree to pay the expenses that may be incurred incident to the publication of same. Here are my questions: 1. First, Mr. DePriest, did you, or your colleague, reside in reservation, and without reservation, support, advocate and work for the election of Al Tennery, Democrat candidate for alderman of the Third ward (now the Second) in 1910? Why? 2. Milton G. Foreman was the regular Republican candidate and nominee for alderman of the Third ward (now the Second) endorsed by the organization, and the option of being Democrat, at the same election? Third. Is it not a fact that after the election of Al Tearney, Democrat, against Milton G. Foreman, was largely attributed to your efforts, you headed the Democratic process which marched to the City Hall in front of the carriage door of the Democrat, on the night of his inauguration as the Democratic alderman-odect from the Third ward (now the Second)? Fourth. Is it not a fact that you advocated and supported the Democratic nominee, the Democratic nominee for state's attorney, against Lewis F. Rhaker, the Republican nominee for the same office, who was endorsed and supported the American organization of Cook县? Seventh. Is it not true a working agreement now exists between you and Al Tearney under and by virtue of the terms of which in the agreement is imputed and in event of the success of James D. Marshall, Al Tearney's Democratic candidate for alderman of the Second ward, you will support and work for his election. Eighth. Is it not a fact that you are not the choice of the full membership of the executive committee, known as the Republican Second Ward organization? And is it not also a fact that a large number of the Second ward precinct members are now openly and without reenforcement opposed to your candidacy? Ninth. Is it not also true that the facts are misstated and misleading when you, and those who speak in support of your candidacy, are voters that you have sold your solid support to the Ward Republican organization? His Promise If you can answer the foregoing questions, and by your answers show that your past political conduct has been in harmony and keeping with the organization's regularly" argument and "organization adherence" in this campaign, I will agree to withdraw from this race and support your candidacy.

Heart Needs Care Acute heart strain is practically impossible in the young, healthy and well-nourished adult, but quite likely in all others. Once it occurs the heart is incapable of extra work and fails when called upon to do it. The doctor argues, therefore, that one cannot be too careful to economize in the work environment. According to one physician, he who retires to bed at ten instead of twelve saves the heart 376,000 foot pounds a year. Lying down a half-hourless its labor in the same period by 219,000 foot pounds. If our Sundays were spent in bed the yearly relief to our hearts would amount to nearly one million dollars. He does not venture to even estimate the relief that would come were we to abstain from violent emotions, especially anger. Acquiring an Education Nobody ever drifted into an education.

DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS January 24.—Defender's Legal Help—I was injured in a wreck on a certain railway and at the time I did not know whether I was injured or not. The conductor presented me with a paper to sign which I understood at the time was to get my name and address as a paper and a few days later my back and head began to hurt me. I consulted a physician and found I was injured internally; that my spine had been affected from which a number of fractures had resulted in almost constant headaches and weakness in the back. I presented my claim to the railroad and they presented me with a paper which purported to contain my signature to a statement that I was not injured and therefore I was not entitled to any relief under these circumstances? Answer: In the first place it was an error to sign any paper under the circumstances. You had been thrown into the street and determined as to whether you were injured or not. No paper should be signed unless it is thoroughly understood, as it will be likely to present a challenge to your detriment. Remember that when you ask you to sign some paper it is generally for some benefit for the person wanting the paper signed and unless clearly understood you are likely to be injured without knowing what just you are doing. But even under the facts which you gave you are entitled to damages for any injury which you received in the course of your work, you know you were injured at the time and actually signed a statement to this effect. Consult a first-class lawyer and he will show you how to overcome the signed statement and prove up your case. You and you are entitled to for your injuries. Court Only Remedy. **JOHN RYANHEY** Question: I want to rent a real estate agent at $30 a month. The house was insinatory and the agent and owner would not repair the same, although they repeatedly promised to do so. I refused to pay rent because the insinatory condition of the house made me sick and I was compelled to a big doctor's will, besides being kept injured more than $60 through the failure of the owner and agent to repair the house. After two months' default in paying rent under these circumstances they forced me to vacate the premises. I did vacate the house, but I was injured and I went to withdraw the same when the bank took up my book and refused to allow me to draw my money. The bank said that the real estate agent was interested in the bank and that he had taken my money to pay rent he claimed due him as a payment. I have a right to take my money for this purpose and have I any relief? Answer: The bank did not have any right to take your money in the manner stated without a suit at law. You may recover your money in bring suit against the bank for the same. You have also a right of action both against the bank and against thegence in not repairing the premises, the insanitary condition of which caused your illness attended with great financial loss to you. Free Sculpture: Very many years ago it was the fashion of England and on the continent to have great gardens of evergreen trees trimmed and clipped into an extent of dramatic shapes. To such an extent did these gardens were filled with crouching lions, pigs and even hens and chickens, all laboriously sculptured from living green and kept in trim by constant use of the knife and the shawl. A few of these gardens were established in this country and one still remains in perfect condition. It is located on the famous Hunwell estate at Wellesley, Mass., and is visited by people from all over the world. The garden is on the side of a terraced hill long away to a beautiful little lake. Evergreens of many kinds are to be found there and each summer a force of workmen with long ladders carefully prune and trim the branches in order to preserve the strange shapes which are now developed with the utmost nattitude. The English Language The English language contains about 600,000 words, but of this total nearly one-half consists of scientific words, and the other, with outside of text books—and of terms. An examination of 100,000 words shows them to comprise 60,000 words of Textonic origin, 30,000 words of Latin origin, and 30,000 words derived from miscellaneous sources. The New Standard Dictionary contains approximately 485,000 words. The Oxford Learst* with 8,000 words and Stroop spear up he his plays with 15,000. Needed No Fortifications Brave and fearless the Spartan men were; every man a soldier. While other Greek cities were building forfications to protect themselves from outside invasion the Spartans did nothing of the战龋. Their farsen was as fierce as any other battle, and attaches at a distance. That they were entitled to that fame was evidenced at the battle of Thermopylae when 300 Spartans kept at bay the entire Persian army. They might have won the battle, too; but they were betrayed from the rear, and the 300 Spartans until every one of them was dead. Causes of Unhappiness The worst kinds of unhappiness, as well as the greatest amount of it, come from our conduct to each other. If our conduct, therefore, were under the control of kindness, it would be nearly the opposite of what it is, and so the state of the world would be almost reversed. We are for the most part unhappy, because the world is an unkind world. But the world is only unkind for the lack of kindness in us units who compose it.—Frederick William Faber.

The mind is often said to be illuminated by a sudden idea, or the will to come to a sudden resolution. The sadness is not only apparent to the onlooker; it is felt by the subject himself, when light seems to flash into his mind, or his will to determine itself. The subject is also the mark of sadness, meaning the unrelieved act of some power outside himself. Just as we talk of the sadness of lightning, the sadness of an earthquake. We imagine earthquakes and lightning flashes as unrelated, independent happenings, and forget that every earthquake and every flash of lightning are slowly working law, and could, had men but knowledge enough, have been foretold from the ages. Things are sudden only because we do not foresee them, and their suddenness is no inherent quality in them; it is lent them by our ignorance; it may be as sudden as a flash of lightning, and the fall of a pin as sinned as a pistol shot, but in normal conditions they do not make us "lump," because we are not under the force our nerves and the relative force of the impact upon our senses. A cannel falls suddenly under the last straw, but it is the previous slow piling of the cannel that causes the damage of his broken back. Nothing is, in reality, more sudden than anything else; it is from ourselves, from our lack of comprehension and preparation that the lightning, the earthquake and pistol shot borrow their suddenness.

Jt is hard to conceive that the ~“gdwernment—as they claim—cannot put a stop to the lawlessness right hereunder their nose, at home. ‘This thing of putting the duty on each individual state of straightening out these things is folly of the deepest dye. What can be expected of states whose whole political machinery is made up of the stripe of a Vardaman or a Bleese? Docs a rotten apple in a barrel do the other apples any ad?

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ‘TIE REVOCATION of the law establishing’a colored regiment in the state of New York, was, made by Col. George A. Wingate at a meeting of the National| Guard Association. “The Adjutant-General claims to have made an effort to muster in enough citizens to man the proposed regiment, but found it impossible. Even with the absence of further dita on the matter it is hard to believe that this is the real cause of the abandoning of the project. New York has many more thousands of Negroes than Illiiois and a matter of getting one regiment to- gether—as far as men are concerned—should be comparatively “1 speaking, an easy task. When Gov; Sulzer affixed his signature to *the bill authorizing the formation of this new addition to. the na- “tional guard, there was bitter opposition to it and for but one reason, the officers feared they would be thrown in social contact with the officers of the new organization, and the thought made these tin soldiers fairly shudder. By all means New York and evi other state should have a regiment composed of members of “our race. What better example can be offered than our own 8th Fegiment which stands at the head of-the state militia in efficiency, Alepttment and every other essential and officered throughout by aur own, This is a country of strange people, at the first intima tion of trouble we are patted on the back and gently shoved to the front to protect OUR country, and while losing our lives are ap- plauded to'the echo.

As the situation now stands it is a safe wager that the next Repblican nominee in this ward will be a white man, and wé have no one to blame but ourselves. ‘The Negro vote constitutes two-fifths of the entire yote of the ward, with this vote divided among three candidates there can be but one result—namely, the nomination of the white candidate. ‘The great trouble with our colored politicians is an overweanitig desire for leadership. “Too many little fellows want to be big bosses. Given a little taste of public pie and their domes swell to such proportions that no hat can be made to fit them, -In the second ward especially does this form of political dementia exist. A half dozen petty, would-be over-lords who'have not the slightest conception of their own limi- tations have maintained for years, an internecine political war that has brought themselves nor the party any good, Some of these gentlemen are due a rude awakening and the February primaries may cause them ‘to sce themselves as others see them. THE MAYORALTY BEE is beginning to buzz. A number of ‘candidates have shied their ,castors into the ring, among them ‘Thompson, Olson ‘and Hey on the Republican side and Sweitzer and Harrison on the Democratic side. Mr, Thompson is the well known president of the Illinois Athletic Club. Mr. Olson has long been identified with the municipal court of Chicago and his name is associated with some of the reforms brought about by the estab- lishment of this branch of government. Mr. Hey is an alderman from a northw4st side ward and has been affliated with the Pro- gressives in politics. Mr, Sweitzer's chief claim to public notice grows out of his having been clected twice to the office of county clerk. Mr. Harrison is by far the best known of all the candidates mentioned. Chicago knows him in connection with much construet- ive work, Tt was under his administration that the big water tunnels were completed, universal transfers on surface and elevated roads brought about, the price of gas reduced and other reforms cfiected. He is especially to be commended for the way in which he has-stamped out certain forms of vice. Chicago will hesitate long before it agrees to the passing of Harrison. THE GEORGIA “GRANDFATHER CLAUSE” expired of its own limitation January 1, 1915, so the voters in this state can no longer avail themselves of the exemptions in registering. There has always been a clause exempting a veteran or a legal descendant of a veteran from all qualifications. to vote except the payment of taxes. While the clause did not mention Negroes directly, it oper- ated against them just the same. As it now stands, all voters are ‘on an equal footing, a condition that should have prevailed years ago. The ballot is the one great weapon of power in this country. We should use it judiciously. It is not to be bought or sold and that must be firmly imbedded in our minds. What are a few paltry dol- lars to your liberty? We are accused and in a great measure, justly so, of doing these things, that we have a glaring example set before us by the white man ig no excuse for us. The most ignorant know it is wrong, know full Well they are selling their birthright, yet when the tempter comes they fall. The remedy lies in a stricter watch by the authorities on this nefarious business and a constant ding donging’ in the ears of the culprits by members of our, own race against this ‘practice. — + SOUTH. CAROLINA has 25,000 more colored than white children in the public schools. Perhaps it is enough to be white without having any education. Well, “everybody to their taste” as the old lady said when she kissed a cow. IF YOU HAVEN'T RAISED.A PIG why haven't you? Booker T. says it is imperative and h¢ knows.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT. APPEALS TO CONGRESSMEN to vote against the literacy bill are pouring into Washington fast and furious. Every national- ity has some good, plausible reason why their particular people should be exempt from the proposed Iaw. For instanee, it was pointed ont that the Poles have no country of their own, having been robbed 150 years ago, and nearly the whole of Galicia, which is Austria-Poland, with a population 6f 7,000,000 was first overrun by the Russians in the present war, and then by the Austrians and Germans, so that today most of the Polish cities have been de- stroyed. ‘Che Belgians have come in for a world of%sympathy se have the other nations who have suffered great losses. Oh, we are great people for reaching ont to the fellow in the distance, succor, but the deserving right under our feet can be trampled on with impunity. Never has there been a people who exemplified the fairy tale about the little girl who attempted to walk to the end of the rainbow to find a sack of gold, more than these same Americans. As for legislating, they would rather do that than eat; they must make laws, or be heard on the floor when they go to Washington, else what will their constituents think of them, and so bills go through not because they are especially essential but because of this desire to keep in the limelight. And so likewise is public senti- ment too often simply the prejudice of the majority or the viewpoint of some editor who sees a reflection of his own mind as public sentiment. Public sentiment condones certain things in the South. In Europe it impels to the greatest war in the history of the world. Public sentient fifty years ago meant that millions must be herded and sold like cattle, but such sentiment changes when it is not based upon right and reason, and even in da-'s like these must change. The great movements in the process of civilization are inspired in the brains of the few, not the many. Public expression is too often the expression of the crowd, the mob. And it is as true as night follows day that you cannot affect one set of people without affecting others, The Immigration bill as it stands will not affect us any more than it will any other people and that’ is all we ask. A MAN TO LEAD US! RIGHT NOW, in this aldermanie fight you have a beautiful example of the real need of a leader, one who will not lick any man’s paw because that man has more money than he has or be- cause that man is white and has a better opportunity to get favors than OUR LEADER would have. Let some more candidates come forward and cach one would tell you that some league or a society has placed him in the running and he could not distegard their feelings any more than a Harrison or Sullivan democratic candidate, Look at the MISCHIEF it is doing! Why, any and all the Sunday clubs and literary societies could put a candidate in the field and if cach body would furnish the money not one of their candidates would withdraw. We must have a leader. Mr. Rosen- wald is the recognized leader for the Jews of Chicago, Mr. Goldberg for the Jews in New York, etc. But NOWHERE can you go and find among US a leader. Like Booker T’s crab, no one will permit the other fellow from getting out of the basket and we continue in our happy-go-lucky way till JUDGMENT DAY, trying to rise. A step must be taken and that step must be taken at once. Let every church, every club and every society in Chicago, and the Appomattox Club appoint delegates and have them meet at some given place and appoint or vote for some man of business or the president of the Appomattox Club, and either to choose their cabinet, and make him a leader until we raise up some man who is personally strong enough to stand up alone, and ‘let him like Rosenwald, do the dictating as to who should or should not do this or that. We must have’a head-and the sooner we get to it, the better for all concerned. ‘ » MR. WILSON DECLARED that the Republican party hadn't had a new idea in thirty years, ina recent speech. As might be inferred a FEW people doubt the truth of this assertion, but these same people have an idea that they will at the next election make it possible for this learned gentleman to retire to the tall timbers and teach thle young American the three “R’s”Hritin’, readin” and rith- metic.

It is a disgrace upon your manhood and womanhood to sing the name of a state in praise where a mob in Monticello, Ga. in lynching anf entire family RAPED the two women before they were strung up by the SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN. Can ‘you afford as a people to stand for such acts even if the UNITED STATES encourages the course of the Southern State to kill off its black citizens? PRESIDENT WILSON SAID in addressing the Washington Y¥.M.C. A. last Sunday: “The character of a community is judged by the loyalty and support it gives to the Y. M.C. A.” This being true; the colored people of Chicago should feel proud that by this test they are willing to be judged, They have made good. third year of its existence in our midst begins with an uw", interest both by its membership. and by the interest displayed’ b_ the eitizens in general, ‘The,five day campaign for subscriptions to their annual budget has increased not only financially, but lias in- creased by one-third the number of people contributing showing its growing popularity. The employed officers and the managing board should be congratulated upon the sustained interest they have inspired among the colored citizens.
