FOUGHT WAY TO SAFETY. Gary, Ind, May 5.—James Dunean, 1530 Adams street, one of the most respectable race men living in this city, has been awarded the Carnegie medal and $500 in the city. He was employed in the steel mills in Pittsburgh in the ago. The fact was made known the first of the week, when Dunean received a letter from the Carnegie commission notifying him of the act. Dunean was formerly a member of Company D, Twentieth Street, in Pittsburgh, in a session a number of letters from his superior officers for honorable service while in the regiment. He also has an honorable discharge. One of the letters was written by Capt. Charles Gates of Twentieth Street and the other by Major Z. W. Torrey. Duncan at the risk of his life and a horrible death descended into a pit of red-hot slag and, bridging it with a plank, he walked out on a narrow space and fell into the unfortunate fellow (white) below the unfortunate fellow (white) worker who was slowly roasting to death. He then fought his way heroically out of the hot, gas-ridden place and carried his burden to the air, where he held this time sixty white fellow workers stood as though they were transfixed by the horror. Not many men in a thousand would have voluntarily and quickly descended into a pit of soothing steel, the steel that he received a torrent of hot metal, to rescue a fellow worker. It brings this hero national attention, besides this badge of honor and money. The letter from the Carnegie Fund notifying Duncan is as follows: Pittsburgh, Pa., April 29, 1916.

Copyright 1916, by the Chicago Defender. From Mt. Pleasant, Tex. I went to a town called Pittsburgh, in the same State. Here the white people give the white man that they good wages and a good chance. They pay $1.10, $1.50 per day. Then, if they try to save any money the whites will lay them off for two or three days out of each week. Those that do own any property have a nice house built for little payments.

Norfolk, Va., May 5—Saturday night during the carnival here three white men began to bully a race man about 12 o'clock, shortly after the shows had been. He paid no attention at first, but one time he called him a "N____" with a nasty preface before it. The race man, seeing that he was outnumbered, as a crowd had been attracted to the scene by loud singing, a way out of the crowd that was about the homophone a suit Enright, Priest and McPherson are in the hospital, the first being the only one able to talk. He claimed he was only loshing when the police questioned him, when he argued and he is in a critical condition. The race man escaped and the police are at sea. GREEN RE-ELECTED minor cause he is heavily fined. Some white man will pay the fine and then this poor creature is forced to work for him on a farm as long as the white man with rifles. Now the men here are allowed to wear and carry clothes. Most of the Race women can do so, for they practically belong to the whites. If a gentleman of color happens to be seen on the street with a white man in a race uniform of color, especially if the gent is a worker, he is eligible for a severe beating by the whites and in some cases shot. Curfew for Race Men. After half-past eight the Race man is not allowed on the streets, except in Winnipeg, In Winnipeg, Tex., a Race man own a farm. He gets to care and raises cotton. He tried to get other Race man to go in partnership with him and build a cotton gin. The second man asked his white "boss," a white man own a farm. Little later the Race man came back and he did not think he would take the ship, as his "boss" didn't approve of it. I found that a great many had farms, nice ones at that, but only barely made a living out of them. They are comely and trade in certain stores and the white man chooses the chooses. At the end of the year the Race owes the storekeeper. They can't sell the farms, because the whites will only give $15 to $25 an acre. Next week I will tell you of a Race doctor who bought an auto, but the whites met him at the depot in Tyler, Tex., and told him to send it back if he hadn't bought a boutevard to run it on.

MISS BOSFIELD BACK TO WORK MISS BOSFIELD BACK TO WORK Dr. French Gives Her Employment at Governor McCall's Order—Same Job, Same Pay, But With All Privileges That Are Accorded Other Employes. VICTORY FOR FAIR PLAY. Girl Was Discharged Because She Had Nerve to Demand Her Rights—Supreme Court Decided Against Her—Trustees Were With Dr. French but Girl's Friends Take Case to Governor. THE LETTER "I write to offer to reintroduce you to your former position as clerk and stenographer at the Medfield Hospital. Your work will be the SAME as your former position, a room as good as the other clerks and stenographers. You will EAT IN THE DINING ROOM WITH THEM. Your pay will be the same as your former position, you will be given the SAME privileges as the others." —Dr. French's letter. Boston, Mass., May 5—Miss Jane R. Bosfield, who was recently discharged from the Medfield State Hospital, declared last night that she had received a letter from Dr. French (white) who had caused her dismissal offering to reinstate her. Miss Bosfield said that she would report for work at once. Miss Bosfield was discharged because she insisted that she should be served in the dining room with other employees and as she was the only face girl there the poor whites objected and Dr. French discharged Miss Bosfield in subordination. The trustees upheld the law and the Court held then sought legal aid and took the case to the courts. The Supreme Court decided against her. Then the fair name of the Bay State was dragged into the flood several newspapers, especially the New York Times, which sought to arouse the people because Miss Bosfield was not getting a square deal. The case was taken to the Governor who said he would hear the case with the executive council. At this heart, she would how she had been treated and that someone could go without food because it was cold and brought to her on a tray. The Governor seeing what pressure had been brought to bear ordered her reinsted even if Dr. French and the trustees did not like her positions would be at stake. Miss Bosfield believed there is a feeling of unfriendship toward her at the institution, but added "that is one of the things I shall have to bear and live down." Reinstated. Faced by the formidable "request" of the Governor and Council that Miss Bosfield, the colored stenographer, be reinstated in her old position at the Medfield to the trustees and the superintendent of the still prattting about the "right" to do as the superintendent did, have taken the very practical course of putting the girl back to work. This will there will be no knuckling to the nonsense of the rast of the employees as to cating in the same dining room with Miss Bosfield. And these employees may now be expected to have the good sense and courtesy to treat her well, and the girl will be well for them. The girl has proved that she has powerful friends.

While in the United States they can discover a vein in the copper wire it to California. For all this slavery, it was oppression the "poor" white" goes and now as the poorest white did in sixty-one. The poor white did not buy a hundred shaves at fifteen hundred dollars each, cash in the cotton grower of his life? Under the Mexican Constitution three syndicates can control the oil, chicle and hemp. But how came this Constitution changed? This is the secret to the trouble. When the president called for the cotton grower, came to Mexico, the first thing he did was to get into office and change the Constitution and amend it to suit his pockets. The cotton grower cannot be with the crime that people of people were kept ignorant of this secret crime. But God says that things done secret will be revealed on house-tops. When wealth length to reveal its value for protection and justice to the Government from unscrupulous persons on the grounds of Constitutional rights of protection. Then the political crimes secretly hatch under the administration of Dizzy Gillespie and justice to the Government even a few years ago. Then it was discovered that the Constitution was quietly changed and revised. This was the breeding of bandits. This trained and educated bandit was the Villa and a Zapata. They appealed to American justice, but hypocrisy was revealed in the Wilson-Carranza deal. Several promises of reforms were thrown into doubt. The police and press turned a dead ear to the boundary line dispute, which is considered questionable by many. In closer this article I will say that Villa's object in jumping to the issue is to claim the Mexican state that southern sympathizers have no reason the line properly according to the treaty of 1847. In fact the war of 1847 was latched up to steal Arizona and N.

As the war between the north and south amount of time in his first term. But the grand old man was shot in the second month of his next term. From then it has been forgotten issue. So Villa thought he would just remind them of it. And that the United States would be the first to be the living Belgium's boundary line and the guilty of worse things themselves. To set the facts of it a declaration of war would bring the invasion episode before completion. But President Wilson goes around that in another way. There is no war declared. What does the United States do? enters a house without a warrant. What does the United States care for a small nation's rights? Is right is right, the white man's motto. ALUMNI ENTERTAINED.

In doing this, the company is ready and willing to lay before the public all details of its business. The people of Chicago are cordially invited to ask, and the company agrees to answer, through advertisements now running in the big daily papers, any and all questions bearing upon the subject of gas. The only way to reduce the cost of manufacturing gas in Chicago is to adopt scientific "heat unit" gas in place of obsolete "candle power" gas. Scientific "heat unit" gas is rapidly replacing obsolete "candle power" gas almost everywhere. Up-to-Date Methods Needed In Chicago the Company is powerless to make the change for the better, from "candle power" to "heat unit" gas, without the consent of the authorities. The city council now has it under consideration. It will have to be decided, not on theory or prejudice, but on the facts. The company has the facts. It will state them accurately and fairly, and it invites the public to help examine and judge them. Write to the Gas Company Everybody is cordially urged by the Company to read its advertisements as they appear from day to day in the big daily papers, and to write to the Company their comments or questions on any statements made in the advertisements. Just address your letter or postcard to Department B, People's Gas Light, Coke Company, and watch for the answer in succeeding advertisements in big daily papers. SCHOOLS CLOSE. (By W. S.

Ordinance Sent By the Chicago Defender Is Passed By Council Prohibiting Disgusting Film. Bisbee, Ariz., May 5.—Several weeks ago the "birth of the Nation" was billed at the at the office of the council here. The members of the Race did any time in making a fight to stop it. A telegram was sent to Editor R. S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender to send a message of ordinance that could be presented to the law council probably the play. Mr. Abbott wired an answer immediately, sending an ordinance to be presented to the council here. The following petition was sent to the council PETITION. To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council of the City of Biscoe. Gentlemen—We the undersigned, citizens of the Warren District, whose occupations and residences are respectively shown hereafter, do represent to your Honorable Body, as you advertised in the daily newspapers the production at the Orpheum Theater in this city, of a moving picture heretofore produced under the title *Birth of a Nation*; that we are reliably informed that the said drama is merely an elaboration of the drama heretofore produced under the title *Birth of a Nation*; that we are further informed that said photophy, or drama, depicts features and situations which are likely to arouse race and rejection against the Negro race, showing them at the time immediately after the Civil War when they had first emerged from slavery, and determined to race against the race at that time in an exaggerated way; that amongst the incidents which your petitioners are recounted in this book, which generally speaking are not proper subjects for photophys under any conditions, are: mob violence, briberies, hunging, burning at the house, therefore, consisting of rapes, or attempted rape; that your petitioners further represent that in their opinion they are not related to and will arouse many old hatreds, or prejudice, that might well in this enlightened age be forgotten, and that you can do no good and on the other hand, and branch of the peace. Wherefore, your petitioners pray that your Honorable Body take such action as may be required to prohibit the production of said photophy, or drama, in this city." The petition being sent the council, the ordinance sent by Editor R. S. Abbott was passed and became a law and took effect. Every member of the Race here aided in its passage. There was union and men and women fought like soldiers against the "Birth of the Nation." It was a battle where Race leaders bulldown their manhood and would not fight, saying as they always it had bad policy to fight. A great deal of credit must be given the race to also join the organization also J. R. Scott, recently from Los Angeles, Cal., and Eilgar Williams, secretary of the Bootbucks and Porters' Union. They went before the Traces Association and this organization endorsed their protest. When the white citizens saw that the Race was bitterly opposed to the "Birth of the Nation," they came out boldly against it. It was a great victory for the Race and should be an inspiration for them to make such a fight in other places where the picture may be attempted to be shown. At a meeting of the Race, a letter of thanks was sent to Editor R. S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender.

The game opened with Lane on the mound for Wilberforce and Little for Anticho. Both pitchers were in good shape, but he tightened up and was out without a score being made. His speed increased and the game propelled at his mercy. He was relieved by Coley at the end of the skid. Coley is the all-around player, and he was the team. He pitched two innings of good ball. An error by Gaines in the seventh inning was caught. Coley was relieved at the end of the eight to give Underweld a tryout, who finished the game. Wilberforce was the high and the ground was not in the best of condition, but the game was a good one. The features were the pitching of Lane and the pitching of Anticho. Wilberforce plays Muskegan Saturday, May 6. This is expected to be a hard-fought game.

Alfred Anderson, Associate Editor. When folks really pause for a time to sum up the war from a standpoint of galing; When "wise ones" have nearly run over their cup of wine, they've counted the hearts that are breaking; When leaving out dollars, they've counted the cost, have counted the hearts that are breaking; They reach the conclusion the whole world had lost to the war. PROPERTY RESTRICTIONS: JUDGE SHEXK of the California superior court has ruled that citizens of that state, regardless of color, are entitled to hold property under the state constitution, and provisions in decors that the property involved must be sold to colored citizens are not required. The court also requires that the custom to shut out what was termed objectifiable people from living in the better neighborhoods by some such clause as had this California Title Guarantee and Trust Company, in their decors, would work as much hardship on one race as it did the other. The owner of a piece of property should have the right to say to whom he wishes to sell, as well as he has to set the price and the terms. If can get more from a black, yellow or brown person than he can from a white person, he should not be told to pay $12 to prohibit him? Every segregation law no matter of what kind, nor by whom upheld, is against the very principle that this country is supposed to stand for. The judge has not closed tighter and tighter against us, the spirit of the South is slowly being erased. The federal supreme court has under consideration a similar appeal made against a segregation ordinance passed by Louisville, Ky. Other southern cities have upon ordinance under consideration a movement hinges to a great extent upon the outcome of the supreme court's decisions. Iaces, like individuals, need but to progress to have thrust in their path all kinds of obstructions. The constant fight for supremacy makes beats of men, it deprives them of that spirit of fair play, jealousy bids them stoop to do many things, and it makes them feel like they are not receive nor must we expect any special favors or privileges. The road to success is more often paved with cobble stones than asphalt. Were we content to remain in a humble position, or in other words follow the path that offered the hard resistance—the service, humble path—could be our journey, but, there were times when we had to be more humble. Men and women paddle their own canoe. Every obstacle surmounted makes the next one the easier. It is our fight, we must lead the way, if we gather outside for the first time to champion our cause we shall be grateful, if not we continue undaunted along. STRIKING HOME ALLY THE WIND blows the other way and when a baby day into a bleak, cold day, for which we may must come to when the sun shines that it will seem seen, read of and participated in mobs gather colored people, without raising their voice in protest to these murders as "the great American pastime" norm fact that a habit once formed is hard to break, but it only intended for the darker citizens to spread the white brother as well.

Just as likely to smash a great invention like a cement of labor as it is to smelt the life out of some of the earth's crust, so it is to bow out of committed either legally or morally, can mob violence only hold up a paunce for unlawful conduct? the better element of American citizens are facing their indifference in the past but determined incessantly has such a firm grip on our TRANSPORTATION TO LIBERIA. A KINDLY DISPOSED WOMAN taking "into full account what it meant to have a dark skin in this free and enlightened country, left at her death in 1886 a trust amounting to $50,000 the income from which a little over $3,700 a year, was to go to that country. Any balance that might result from the income was to be used for the education of colored children in Liberia. An all went smoothly until about eight months ago, when the heirs—possibly running the estate—wrote down the credit they could claim contended that the transportation of colored people to Africa through the Colonization Society had come to an end, and the fund was created against the law of peremptory, that the trust was uncertain, vague, indiscrete and incapable of performance. The executors of the trust, and just so, in their demurrier claimed that the heirs were a little late in bringing the matter up and if the money was not used for transportation it would be turned over to the public colored schools of Liberia. The trustees of the trust were not the families in that country. There is no question but that the money was intended to be always used for the advancement of the race and because fewer people wish to go to Liberia is no reason why the money should be diverted from the state. It was intended even though the trust failed to cover every technical point. The case came up before a Baltimore judge, therefore it is not surprising to rule that the petition of the heirs to have the case tried in an effort to break the law was not made. The case was determined to take everything possible from the colored man, with or without the law, $30,000 isn't a large sum of money, but the sting lies in the purpose for which it is used. Better from their point of view, were it thrown in a bottomless hole and determined to give the heirs a hard fight, and for the sake of justice it is bound they will GOOD SOLDIERS.

France and Germany are the only two countries who have done any fighting. As prepared as Germany was, France has more than held her own. It is a little royal such as the world never before has seen and let us hope never will guilt. COLONEL ROOSEVELT SAID, "Americanism is on trial. If we produce merely the self-sicking, case loving, duty shirking man, whether he be a more materialist or a more silly sentimentalist; if we produce only the Americanism of the grater and not the safety first, get rich quick, peace at any price man, we will have produced an American fatally bound to the spirit of the tories of 1776 and the copperheads of 1861 and fit only to vanish from the earth. "In this tremendous crisis of the world, if we think we can sit apart, do nothing over latitudes and devote ourselves only to money making, we shall surely get rich." There are a great many people who talk but say nothing, but when the Colonel opens his mouth the world listens for them know he has the wisdom of a Solon. THAT MORMONISM is far from being on the wane is evidence of the financial statement presented to the general for the last fourteen years the church expended among other sums, $3,714,454 for church schools, $2,625,328 for operating and maintaining missions in the United States and Europe, $2,007,733 for meeting and amusement halls, $2,579,900 FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE POOR, and $1,955,900 for caring towards the Mormon temple in Salt Lake City. Verily the tithes of the church cannot not shine to the head of the president nor any of his associates. GERMANY MAY ASK FOR PEACE is the headline seen at various times in newspapers since the war began, and still the fire redeem on as morally as ever. First the Germans gain at Verdun, then the French redeem on a few hundred yards. Thus the anxious public is kept in suspense. If we could only spare "Teddy" for a little while he could run over and settle things with his big stick in one shake of a cat's tail. AT LAST WE KNOW the reason to be for all discoveries, inventions, etc.—"spirits." If you don't believe it, ask any well regulated spiritualist and they tell you—for a consideration—that Abraham Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation. That Marconi, who discovered wireless telegraphy, got the same dope, and the fellow who put gas in gasoline the same. So, what are you going to do about it? PITTSBURGH, PA., is taking up the fight for policewomen. Although the council called for appointments and made appropriations for them, the mayor refused to make the appointments. Fortunately mayors are not appointed for life, and there is such a thing as Mayor Armstrong being retired to private life in the near future. In the meantime the citizens of the "smoky city" should keep on the job every minute. OF INTEREST TO BANANA EATERS. No other plant gives such a quantity of food to the acre as the banana, which is forty times more than that of the potato and 133 times more than that of wheat. Now, if we could just have a few plants growing in the kitchen or some other convenient place, while food stuffs are so high, we could smile at the high cost of living.
