New Castle, Pa., Feb. 16.—Nature in a rage without, sending snow whirling against the window panes. Forty people leaning anxiously forward, minds dismayed and foreboding or filled with desire for vengeance. Miss Jennie Davis, on the stand in Alderman Mantz's court, swore that she had been set upon and dangerously beaten by Mrs. Emily Young, wife of the man with whom Miss Davis had been going to picture shows and having a good time generally. Jennie said they were all at church that peaceful Sunday. After the services, as the congregation filed out, she was directly ahead of Mrs. Young without knowing it. Suddenly Mrs. Young seized her by the fur collar she was wearing and struck at her with a knife. At least that is what Jennie testified. She jerked away and was saved, but so outraged and insulted that she caused the arrest Mrs. Young, and the hearing resulted. Convinced Court y convinced the court that assault and battery no surety of the peacer. And she had the assistance of Attorney Edwin K. Logan who handled the witnesses for the prosecution without gloves. Mrs. Young's story was a little different from Jennie's. When she went to church she sat beside Miss Davis. Soon her husband came meandering out of an entry room toward the front of the church and she distinctly saw Jennie give by a high sign, calling his attention to wife sitting behind Jennie, his inaudible, his ebony pearl. He responded with a signal to indicate that he had flamped" the lady he once promised to love, cherish and protect, but who is now living apart from him. No wonder such conduct in the holy edifice somewhat illustrated Mrs. Young, and she was scarcely able to keep her mind on the service. As she emerged from the building behind Jennie, she put forth her hand to detain her rival. "Don't you all know that man's my husband you're going with?" she asked plainly. Whereat Jennie answered in language not becoming to the time or the place. Then Mrs. Young's sister approached and drew Mrs. Young away and the affair was all over. That was the defendant's story. Her sister corroborated her, and other witnesses who were near enough to see and hear, testified that there had been no attempt at stabbing—no fracas at all, knife thrust or threats. In all seventeen ladies and gentlemen of the Race told their version of the affair and the preponderance of the testimony was favorable to Mrs. Young. The fact, together with the impassioned plea put up by her attorney, freed her from the horror of a prison sojourn.

Feb. 16. David B. Smith (white) is on trial for life for the brutal murder of a member of the Race, W. H. Winford, who refused to be whipped like others. This white man had the habit of making his "slave" to submit to this sort of punishment and when Winford refused to stand for it, he was whipped to death with a "black snake" whip. The trial of Smith is attracting very little attention. As a matter of fact the white people here think nothing of it as the dead man is a "nigger." This very act, coupled with other recent outages that have been heaped upon our people, are causing thousands to leave, not waiting for the great spring movement in May. Many are leaving their little shack and lot behind, for the whites will not buy, and these poor creatures are determined to take a chance and leave here. The schooling in this state is something frightful. Of course cotton is plentiful as to the previous season, but what the boll weevil has not destroyed, the white man has stolen, "Good Niggers" and "Bad Niggers" Thousands of white men do nothing the year round. When cotton picking time comes they drive their wagon to the plantation, weigh the cotton, take it to the gin and sell it; and return and give you what they feel is necessary. You cannot haul it to the gin yourself because you will be run out of town and termed a "bad nigger." The same will happen if you dispute the white man --- JUST a Word About SPORTS Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 16.—Friday night in the "gym Coach Gibson unleashed his crack "Y-HF" Tigers and they gave the Augusta, Ky., High a sound heating by the score of 29 to 18. The game was very lively and many sensational shots were made. The passing by both teams was snappy and to the mark. Pattlingal, the rangy center of the Tigers, was easily the star, as his field goals were all difficult shots and he made them a la Gray. McCaleh, Taylor, Rivers and Pryor proved an effective quartette on the defense. For Augusta, Signal vied with his star opponent for the scoring honors, and it was a pretty race between them. At the short passing the boys from the corn cracker state excelled, but were bewildered when the Buckeyes upcorked their aerial stuff. Friddy, Feb. 18, these teams hook up again at Augusta and the winner claim the Othb vigh sch rels. Oh that sar Exodus to Start word as to what he got for the cotton. I have seen hundreds of members of the Race stalking around the gins with $50 and $100 bills in their hats. Yet with all this they know they had been cheated out of half that was coming to them. If you are a good cotton raiser and do not dispute what the white man says, you are a "good nigger." You can fight, shoot, kill, and do anything else and get out of it, for you are his friend as long as you take vengeance on your own people. Should they be white—that's your ending, which is usually on the end of a rope tied to a telegraph pole under which a fire is built of boxes from the most prosperous white merchants and ministers of the town. Illiterate 'preachers' are as thick as bees in this part of the country. What ever the white man says, they do. Their time is taken up mentally and physically with "the resurrection of Christ," and "what did Paul say?" No effort is made by most of them to help their struggling brother out of the mire. They see our young girls prostituted and offer no remedy. Money, dollar money in particular, is what they seek. There are a few who dare and will speak, but only a few. They have tried to put a bugaboo in front of those seeking to go where they can get better education and a better living, by saying that the cold will drive them back. Few may come back to sell, but the majority are satisfied with the statement published "in this very paper, that it is far better for thousands to freeze, if freeze they must, than to die hanging to the limb of a tree for some crime which they did not commit. Aberdeen, Miss., Feb. 16.—Hundreds are leaving here, and it safely predicted that before June there will not be enough of our people here to sing "Harik from the Tomt" over those who have gone. All the younger element are preparing to go and some have sold out and left. The whites are in a loss. At first they tried to stop it and paid some ministers to help them by saying it was too cold in the north, but no one paid any attention to them. H. R. Jackson, one of the most prosperous grocery men in this city, has sold out his belongings and stores and has settled in Lansing, Mich. Others are to follow. The mayor of the town, J. M. Agker, had a grudge against Rev. Woods of the A. M. E. church, and it seems that some one in the employ of the mayor had given the pastor the privilege of, getting a few bricks for his church. The mayor heard of it, but said nothing, waiting until Roy, Woods got to the scene and then he beat him up and told the police that he beat him because he was stealing bricks. The man that offered the pastor the bricks said nothing; being a member of the Race, he was scared. The people were scared to send the Defender the news, but when I was there we found it out. Another pastor seeing Rev. Woods run and leave his horse and wagon standing, was too scared to go and get it, but went to the mayor to ask permission to get the horse and wagon. What the mayor said could Illiterate Preachers Mayor Beat Up Pastor ST. LOUIS CELEBRATION OF LINCOLN-DOUGLASS St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 15.—The inspectors of the street department held a Lincoln-Douglass meeting at the Pythian temple Monday night in commemoration of those champions of manhood rights. Mayor Kiel, who is a candidate for reelection, was the principal speaker. Mayor Kiel is the official who was criticized most nondomily by the citizens of this city last Feb. 29, for his failure to carry his own ward against the segregation ordinance. It seems a travesty on the records of such men as Lincoln and Douglass to permit a man of the mayor's record to be allotted the task of making the principal speech on such an occasion. Among the more prominent speakers were Dr. Clas. Phillips and Capt. Tandy. Woman and Cremates Body Lavonia, Ga., Feb. 16.—Mat Teasley (white) is jailed in Carrencville on the charge of murdering an aged woman member of the Race here and partly cromating her body. Sheriff Wansley (white) said the man has confessed his gullt. Teasley committed the greyscale crime in cold blood, it is thought here and for no other purpose than robbery. When arrested he had $250 on his per- son, the amount that Katherine Curry, his victim, is supposed to have carried. A night waiter discovered the crime when he broke into the Curry home to put out the fire and he discovered, the charred body of the aged woman on the blazing bed. No attempt has been made to lynch the man, as he is white. BEATEN OVER HEAD WITH AX; WILL RECOVER OHIOAG DEPENDER NEWS SERVICE Muskogee, Okla., Feb. 16.—Will Stewart will survive the terrific blow across the nose and face with the edge of a sharp ax in the hands of a powerful man. The police are looking for Will Kirk, accused of the assault. The two got into an argument over the attention being paid to Stewart's daughter Sunday evening. Kirk became irritated and made a successful attempt to mar the features of his prospective father-in-law's face. He made good his escape. WOMAN FINDS HUSBAND SITTING IN CHAIR DEAD Wheeling, W. Yau, Feb. 16. — When Mrs. Goo. Gaither returned home, from work and found her husband sitting in the chair in front of the fireplace he was dead. He was about 40 years old, and had been ill only a few weeks. Since he became sick his wife had been working for a likelihood. Death was due to hemorrhage of the lungs, according to Corother R. G. Hobbs, who was called to investigate the case. LOWDEN ENDS HANGMAN FARCE Commute to Life Term Sentence of Man Many. Times Reprieved Springfield, Ill., Feb. 16.—Gov. Lowden announced that the sentence of hanging of Elijah Scott of Murphysboro would be commuted to life imprisonment. Scott murdered his sister-in-law, Miss Clara Daltign, after a quarrel and was sentenced to hang. Because Shepfir Jas. White of Jackson county would not inform Gov. Dynene how six persons he would invite to witness, would be hanging. the governor being disform. that a repetition of the scene what. Doherty was hanged there for murde. 1915 would SHREEVES, CARRIE TYLER In, fondest memory of our darling mother, who passed away Feb. 16, 1918. For Life is ever Lord of Death.

WILLIAM H, WILLIS Chicago, Ill., Feb. 14, 1917.—In loving memory of my dear husband, William H, Willis, who departed this life two years ago, Feb. 19, 1915. Your memory is as dear today. As in the hour you passed away, Sadly missed, in silence I mourn. MRS. BESSIE JONES JONES, BESSIE—in loving memory of our wife and mother, who passed away two years ago, Feb. 7, 1915. Oft, we think of you, dear mother, And our hearts are sad with pain, Oh, this world would be a heaven. Could we hear your voice again. Of dear, good mother, so kind and true. How we often long for you. From her devoted husband and daughters, Mr. Robert H. Jones and family. CARD OF THANKS The family of the deceased ex-fiancorator D. E. Allain, who departed this life Feb. 1, wish to thank the many friends for the syrapathy shown and kind words of condolence given. They also wish to thank those who contributed floral offerings and the newspapers, who made mention of his death and praise given him for his life's work. CARD OF THANKS We wish to offer our thanks and appreciation to our many friends and relations for their expression of sympathy shown toward me and my son during the illness and death of Mr. Thomas Tisdell, husband and father, who departed this life Jan. 24, 1917. We wish to thank the Rev. J. C. Anderson, pastor of Quinn Chapel church, and the Clearger Lodge, K. of P., No. 28, for their kindness, Mrs. Rosa Tisdell, mother, James Tisdell Jr., 518 E.

E. church, 48th and Deerborn streets. Also Easter Lily Club and Quince Candice Temples, Mrs. Baskett is now able to be out. FRANK BASKETT ABILITY NOT RECOGNIZED St. Louis, Mo. Feb. 16.—That ability is not recognized when concealed by a black skin was made evident last week at the Myerson Printing Co. plant. Third and Chestnut street when the stock man, one of the most important costs in the machinery of that great establishment, quit. This company is one of the largest west of the Mississippi river, and one of the best in the country, doing work for the majority of the big railroads centering here. In this dilemma the management would have been placed in a quarry but for the presence of Mason H. Howard, who stepped into the breach and handled the stock end of this great corporation without a flaw; yet he was not prompted. Oh, no. As soon as possible the management chose a white man to do this work which they admitted was satisfactorily done by a competent member of the Race. HAD ONE TOO MANY WIVES Chattanooga, Texn. Feb. 15.—Ab Dorsey has too many wives. He realizes the sad fact more since his arrest on a charge of failure to provide. He is said he admitted to have taken one wife installment plan.

ST LEAGUE IELD BARRACKS Games Straight fates Become --- JOHNSON WINS WHEN WILLS BREAKS ARM Young Gans, Boxing Like Title Holder Boasts "The Snake"—Other Good Bouts St. Louis, Mo. Feb. 16—Harry Wills, claimant to the heavyweight title, lost to Battling Jim. Johnson after two rounds of boxing at the Future City Athletic Club after a crowd of 800 last Tuesday night. Wills broke a tiny hand in his forearm late in the first round. It seems incredible that such a small piece of ivory should incapacitate such a big man from continuing, but it did. Wills appeared to be in great pain while the bout lasted. Johnson was slightly crowded, due to his anxiety, and lauded a few of his opponents as guilty of much holding. The club phil-sician announced that Harry had a good excuse for not continuing, and Wills offered to come back and box Johnson, winner to take all. Gatehue and One-Round Sylvester went on as a substitute bout. Gahue won his opponent a dozen pounds, but Syl was game until he went cold in the third. The semi-windup, so far as the boxing of Young Joe Gans was concerned, was as good a bout as has been seen here Rattle Snake Gans, appearing against the Rattle Snake Gans, appearing against the Rattle Snake Gans, made for him, looked like a million dollar, far as cleverness is concerned, the lightweight champion has as much class as the leading white boys in his class. GAHEE KNOCKS OUT BELGIUM IN FIRST ROUND Louis, Mo, Feb. 16.—"Battling" Gahee, middleweight of St. Louis, made short work of Herman Bierling of Philadelphia at the Future City Athletic Club in the knocking the Quaker out in the first round. He scored a round contest. After Gahee landed several swinging rights to the head he shot a right hook to the jaw which put Bierling on the count of ten and then some. This is where Gahee has scored in a week, having stopped "One-Round" Sylvester in the third round last Tuesday night. In the semi-final "kid" nky kayedo "Battling" Bierling, who also ended the first bout of the coming, when "Knock-Out" Miller put "Black Kid" Williams away in the fourth round.

The bout was very fast and exciting and the white be be the aggressive fighter for the first three rounds. He will rangle fellow, who can take and deliver a punch. He had the blood streaming from Taylor's face in the first round, but Taylor soon solved the western style of fighting and gave this fellow one of the prettiest facades that he has had in some time.

The Twenty- always been heavy periority yesterday and the champion- burting they succession— cerday's win at the top of the percentage column when the regular season closed and this necessitated a special two-out-of-three series to decide the question finally. One Extra Base Hit That the Thirty-second players were able to force the Twenty-fifth to a special series is of great satisfaction to their supporters, for the regiment is young and there are other days coming, happier ones for them, believe the Thirty- second outfit. In yesterday's game the Thirty-second men gave Mashaw, their pitcher, splendid support and backing. Good as was Rogan's siab work the only extra base hit was made by a Thirty-second two-hitter who came about in the ninth after two in the crowd was leaving, having already conceded the victory to the Wreckers, when Jackson smashed out his two-bagger. The fans took a new lease on life and the game, but Stratton, who was next, failed with the willow. How Runa Were Made For the Twenty-fifth, Moore in the fifth canto singled to right field. Fagan sacrificed, advancing Moore to second. Smith singled to left and Moore perched on third—the difficult corner. Swinton hit to Chief at short. Chief fumbled to third (to swing home with the first tally of the game. In the eighth Swinton was safe on another fumble of Chief at short and advanced to third on Rogan's single to right. Johnson hit al fly to deep right and was out, but Swinton flew home and the ball fell caught and hit the rubber safely for the second and last run of the game.

He was joined by thony games held Monday night at the Thirteenth Regiment armory, he finished fourth. Ted Meredith, his rival, and two other white lads blocked Disc golf from passing him, and greedth stretched out his arm to keep the disc from passing him, and two others repeatedly cut across, preventing sprints.

WABASH "HEAVI SWAMP LOUI Blueitt and Thomas Star as Locals W Kentuckians Outclassed With a bewildering passing attack that practically exempt the visitors from the Blue Grass state off their feet, the W a b a s h heavy-weight team won from the Louisville, Ky., Y.

Blueftt was by far the star of the evening, and tossed bushats altogether at, with dodging in and out like a greased pig, and cluding his pursuers, he fairly upset those charging Thomas, the tall, rangy center, with a quick, fast, clever piece of footwork, handling the ball like a magician, for it was here and there and in this and it was here again. It would look like he was going to throw for a basket, then suddenly, to the amazement of all, he would, with a cat-like quickness, shoot it from behind in just the opposite direction to Bluelit or one of the other players. King showed up well for the visitors, who were completely outclassed. They had been well drilled in the game and passed well, but the home boys were too ONCE OVER HE! HE! HE! THIS IS BETTER IN VAUDVILLE! HALL Proposed Basket Ball League Now comes the faint whisper of a national basket ball league and I should say it was just about the right time. Chicago is just beginning to wake up to the possibilities there are in basket ball. From a team that is informed that the league will continue to recruit captors of New York City the Ventures of Atlantic City, N. J.; the independents of Pittsburg, and a team that will represent Chicago. Some class if this is true. A cup will be donated by the business men of these four cities, which will be emblazon if the world's championship basket ball. The dates of the games, and other announcements will be announced later through the columns of the World's greatest Weekly. This is the first news of the proposed league to be let out to the public. Understand, all ye lovers of baseball and other sports—these columns of this great paper are open to your club and their games. We are not only the occupants of people in any one part of the country, we are for all the people all over the country. If you have a ball club in your town, send for our baseball report blanks, and we will forward them to you. Many fans have been anxious to know if the American Giants can defeat the Lincoln Giants of New York, the best evidence they can gain is by watching them get on in Florida. The American Giants are representing the Hotel Polnclain, and the New York team the Fighters Hotel. Last year the team was represented the Polnclain, but they put up against the Lincoln Giants was so poor that the management tied a "fin can" to them. Notice that most of those fast, expert skaters of our Race who can do so much with the steel blades are never entered in any of the park competitions close to home. Open competition might give the public a chance to find out what some of our fellows can really do. The baseball scorer who can sit off by himself and take the games down play by play has got the one over a barrel who has to hug around a reporter from a white paper and throw him his paper on his paper you copy it. That is not reporting games—that's copying games. And then to tell the public you are banding them a bit of real and your home games tally with the white sheet in the box score and are different in the write-up. Can't fool all the people. Coming to Chicago—The crack Ninth Street Y. M. C. A. of Cincinnati. You can expect something doing, too. Some one remarked last fall that "College Boy" Tom Johnson was all in, but right here at the beginning of the winter series he pitches a no-hit game against one of the strongest teams in the east.

Louisville did all the scoring for Louisville. King missed two throws. One personal foul was registered during the entire game, and that was by King. It was the best, and best played game seen on rbln this season. For a few minutes after the game started it seemed that the visitors, who seemed lacking in weight, would give the Wabash boys a good argument, but the Wabash centrally placed Bluetit—got to work on getting wont the hopes of Old Kentucky. There were a few of her followers who made themselves heard until Bluetit got started, then their noise died away like an engine that the distance never to be heard again. For the things looked pretty good, when Bluetit dribbed all the way, dodging through the visitors' lineup and registered a basket. Duff followed with another, and then the lineup. Bluetit missed a free throw, but tall, as it rebounded and shot it in, registering two more points. It was Bluetit again and then Gilles with a basket. Thomas was caught walking and King then got to Louisville with a free throw. Thomas was coming back with a one-hand catch of Bluetit's gun like shot, tossing a basket. Giles threw one from a different angle after two Kentuckians had him corral King registered two for Louisville. The King close to the basket, and were forced to toss from long ranges. Thomas shot a basket from left center and King, after several attempts, put another basket to the visitors. Giles added two more points to Wabash's total and then King made one for his side on a free throw. Blueitt Shoots 2 Baskets in 90 Seconds In the second half Louisville replaced Hauser with Baker, but the change did not do them any good. One basket was registered in this frame by the visitors, and the rest of their points came from the first half's result of technical fouls. Blueitt started with just ten seconds after the opening of the half and repeated with another, making two within ninety seconds. Duff shot one that seemed almost impossible, hanging on the rim of the basket for a few seconds, and then crowd gasped, and fell in. He warmly applauded. King made a free throw, and Blueitt did the same for his side, it being a double foul, each side came through a free throws. Gilles came through a free throws. A basket, and before anyone could resize it, he had shot another. Blueitt added two more points and Duff did the same. Thomas made a technical foul. Kiley added one more point for Louisville for a free throw. Wes showed some rare form, and wuth Louisville all round the floor chasing him, and then tossed a basket, standing underneath it.

A PRAYER The following few lines are the second of the poems written by the late George Russell. These poems are of such an unusual character that they are bound to attract much attention; the one published in the issue last week caused much comment. Teach us, Heavenly Father, how to live. That we may others pleasure give. Grant us knowledge, we besech. That we may some poor mortal teach. Make our nature as the dove's. Fill us with love, we love. Let not our pride lead us so high. That we may pass some mortal by. Make life bright at the fragrant flower, Fill us with its soothing power. Load us, Lord, and be our guide. As through this wicked world we glide. And when we have reached the goal, Receive the Lord, Lord, our humble soul. If thatasks they've done quite well. Place them where the good souls dwell. BREAKS UP THE SHOW Twenty-Fifth Infantry Boys Steel Girls in Hen Wise's Company. Schofeld Barracke H., Jan. 31.—When the regiment came to these barracks in 1913 Hen Wise had a show and was making a big hit all over Hawaii, but the members of the Twenty-fifth flirted with the girls and as a consequence the show was broken up. Hen Wise went to the States and got to team up with the girls to collection of the prettiest brownskin girls he could get. They, too, were captivated by the boys in khaki, and Prof. Wise is not figuring out how he can get a company together that will be immune to the soldiers' uniforms. There are only three members left in his company. 'CRISIS' AT THE Y. W. C. A.
