WILL NOT SING 'DIXIE' ON BATTLE FIELDS Americans Will Not Take to Song Unless the Words Are Changed—Rebel Song While every white southerner loves 'Dixie,' the civilized people in the north love "The Star-Spangled Banner," and though many southerners, especially those who are descendants from rebels, have got the aid of the daily press, it is well known that the red-blooded American soldiers will not walk to a tune that was the pride of the rebels in the reconstruction days. Besides, nobody ever decides beforehand what the soldiers are going to pick as their battle song. "Tipperary" came up as if by accident, and nobody decided beforehand that when the American soldiers went charging up San Juan hill they were going to start to the tune of a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight. "stead of the "Star Spangled Banner." Meanwhile, the American tune for the war has not yet made its appearance. It has not had time.

PRICE 5 CENTS BBED TOED GOVERNOR'S ACTION IS A SURPRISE Representatives Jackson and Lucas to Reintroduce Censorship Bill WILL BE FIGHT TO A FINISH By a Staff Correspondent By a State Correspondent Springfield, Ill. May 4—Gov. Frank O. Lowden vetoed Major Robert R. Jackson's film bill without any warning and the entire Race in the state is up in arms against the action. No governor of this state in thirty years has performed such an act. Change Reading of Bill The governor claimed that the bill was vague and that some well meaning person might be arrested trying to show a decent film. Then Major Jackson, better known as "Blighting Bob," changed the wording of the bill to meet the objections in the veto, and will reintroduce it in the legislature. All the members are with him, and spurred on by the fight Representative BenJ. Lucas is making with him, Jackson is confident that the bill will yet become a law. Prohibited "Birth of Nation" The bill prohibited such plays as the "Birth of a Nation" and other films which have a tendency to cause race hatred and race rioting. A careful poll of both houses of the legislature by the Chicago Defender representative shows that the bill will have little trouble in passing. Once more before the chief executive of the state, he may see fit to do otherwise than act as he did last week. DOCTOR'S POWER FAILS As a Result He Was Arrested Charged With Obtaining Money Falsely Philadelphia, Pa., May 4.—As a coir extractor, Dr. D. E. DeWitts, living a 1918 Kater street, is a gem, but as teacher of philosophy Mrs. -Elizabeth Lichtenstein white, 49, years old, of 1834 Christian white, says he is a rank failure. Mrs. Lighter says he undertook to make her a member of the illustrious Order of Philosophers of Fire she could operate as a medium and disseminate all the knowledge that he possessed about the seven sins contained in the Bible. After taking a few lessons from the doctor and giving him $25 for his instructions, she told Magistrate Beaton Thursday that she had failed to learn anything except that the doctor knew as much about philosophy as she did before she wanted to see him, and that was nothing. "Why, he frightened me," said Mrs. Lighter. She said he had her in a dark room and he told her to put both hands on a table that felt as if it had been sprinkled with oil. She also said he promised to have her as a member of the College of Divine Science. It was after Mrs. Lighter parted with her money that she says she began to lose faith in the doctors supposed wondrous powers. The doctor was held in $300 bail for court, charged with obtaining money under false pretense. THE REASON Philadelphia, Pa., May 4.—Here's a reason garbage was not collected in the vicinity of Thirty-third and Brandywine streets on Thursday.

GRIS 721 Spring St LITTLE ROCK, The First Big Gun- The Chicago Defender was founded in 1906. It is owned and published by Mr. Robert Sengstake Abbott, a graduate of Hampton University. The following is only part of the achievements of the World's Greatest Weekly: It was the first paper to run a Guess Who column. It was the first to use the death list taken from the records of the board of health of this city. It was also the first to have a sick list, information wanted, obituary, in memoriam, legal aid department, reports of clubs, churches and regular health talks. It was the first to give you pictures of the Race in current events. Pictures taken in Italy, France, Germany, Egypt, Africa, England and Belgium concerning the great European conflict now being waged. First to give actual photographs of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, the Tenth Cavalry, the Eighth Illinois Infantry and the Fifteenth New York. All others have followed in our wake. We still continue with our plan, giving you what you cannot get in other weeklies in this or any other line. We gave the public the likeness of Col. Young on the border, of the policewoman in Los Angeles, of the member of the school board in New York months before any other periodical. Our sport page has stood out as the best in the country. The theatrical page cannot be equaled. The editors of these two sheets are in a class by themselves. Our editorials are strong, independent in politics, standing for the uplift of the Race. Hitting the mark regardless of whom the party may be if they betray our people. The Chicago Defender was the first to use a big, black headline across the top of the page, and at that time was pointed to as a "yellow journal" by others, yet the others have seen fit to follow in its wake not only with this, but to try to imitate us in ALL other lines. Our cartoons are in a class by themselves, a credit to any daily paper. We advocated the general movement of the Race northward, getting away from the southern rule. We are in the thickest of the fight, and are here to stay. The Chicago Defender has, during the high price of paper, given its readers ten pages. Only the shortage of print paper has kept us from twelve. However, we promise the public we will again be our "big" self as soon as conditions warrant. We have a classified and real estate page. A woman's page. If you have friends who have not read it tell them about it—pass the good word along, then WATCH US GROW. Our circulation is larger than any three papers put together, and we are still growing. It is up to the public now.

SIMMONS THRILLS BIG AUDIENCE Continued from first page moving pictures, which were explained by John C. Whiting, director of the Greater Hampton Movement. Stirring Addresses The stirring and eloquent addresses delivered in Chicago Friday, Saturday and Sunday of June impressed white Chicago as no utterance of a Race man has done in recent years. Combining the native eloquence of Douglass with the philosophy of Booker Washington, this bar of opinion has eluded him. He is not only the talk of the town; he is the idol of the town. Sunday evening at Orchestra hall, before the famous Sunday Evening Club, where the greatest men are ambitioned to elude the osseo made a defense of the cause of the Race that literally brought more than 2,000 people to their feet. Often it was impossible for him to go on with his address. The audience, anticipating the end of some ambition, would begin to applaud. The noted poet took what many deem the great unpopular cause and made it the popular cause. Makes Many Speeches Arriving in the city Friday direct from his home in Louisville, Col. Simmons, who came under the auspices of the Hoo Hoo dinner, spoke briefly at the Hampton meeting Losalle hotel in the afternoon. At night before a record crowd at Quinn chapel he gave, in picture and wisdom, as the RB, the pastor, said, "a new vision to his people." Speaking before 200 of Chicago's wealthiest men at the Hoo Hoo dinner, the ambermen's Association, he brought great cheering when he made this plea. Forest of Humanity "Come with me," he said, "come will me to the forest of humanity, and see the timber I have to offer to the market of life. Examine closely tree and sapling. Draw near. Neither bark nor leaf can truthfully tell you from afar the timber she shows to us. With Col. Simmons at the memorable meeting at Orchestra hall Sunday night was the famous Hampton quartette. Their songs brought encore after encore. Mr. Clifford W. Barnes, president of the Sunday Evening Club, introduced the orator as "the successor on the platform of Rooker T. Washington." The audience was his from the moment he was the familiar way around the altar to the edifice of the stage. Col. Simmons preached demonstration counts as the home of it. He declared that he believed that his chance would come if he and his were patient. "I would rather be an American Negro," he said in a burst of eloquence, just my cause in the hands of the American Negro. "I would rather be an American Negro, eating the bread of hope as I wave above my head the Red, White and Blue, just on the cold stones of ancient grandmother, and feast from the hand of any king." The audience responded with deafening applause. But the Sunday Evening Club forgot all about dignity when he said, "Ten thousand Negroes have signed Roosevelt's roster in his promised division. I should like to see that army, the Ocean, sweep through France, on past Wear, and the Rhine. I fancy the herald would announce to the emperor of Germany, trembling on his throne, Flee the wrath AN EXCEPTIONAL ATTRACTIVE UNTIL JUNE 1st, 1917, manufacturing a nationally captionally attractive opportunity and obtain returns that through hazardous speculation.

Turner reminds one of Andy Trible in some ways and is in some ways the greatest of the scenes and most all of the laughs.

NEW YORK AMERICAN LAUDS COLORED PLAYERS The following is taken from the New York American, written by their drawings, and edited by their styles himself as "Zil." Speaking of the Colored players on Broadway, he says: "No matter what nationality offers a critical criticism, he critics proclaim it a huge success, the chances are the production will play to capacity business." He says: "A musical instrument, be it a piano, violin, cello or voice, is proclaimed by the newspapers as being a remarkable genius, he probably will play it." "Now let us waive nationality and race. Why shouldn't the Negro players be seen by everyone, especially when we are theatreicals is looking for novelties these days." There is an aggregation of players that is being presented by Mrs. Iampeo in three plays by Ridgely Torrence, under the direction of Robert Edmond Jones, especially when we are theatreicals; "Grammy Maumee," a tragedy, and a passion interlude entitled "Simon the Cyranian." These Negro players do not talk in their own tongue. They act in their own way. The scenery is just a bit expected where they live. They are Negro, not to be anything else, and they are as great in their line of work as any race that ever presented anything in this "Surely if a big man in the theatrical world like Lee Shubert can lease his way, has been remodeled by which, by the way, has been remodeled by the finest furnishing), why should not the New York public patronize genius when genius is really shown? Of course, you can see a bunch of Negro players? You are mistaken. You are not going to see a bunch of Negro players. You are going to see "I am not going into the details of any one of the players' merits. They are all good, and the three plays are so good that you will spend one of the most "m" await afternoons or evenings you ever spent in your life. Between each musician that plays southern music, whose members sing real songs, and there is a solo by a trombone which that is worth the price of admission alone. He is the greatest trombone player he ever heard, and I have heard it. Such remarkable feeling as this individual plays with makes the trombone sound like a yilim solo. Encourage these musicians. Don't draw the color line. The best people in the city are going, why not you?" COLORED PLAYERS CLOSE BROADWAY RASTUS AMONG THE MOVIES THE STATES The Master Passion, an Edison production, drew a fine attendance on Monday and the same can be said of the whole bill for the balance of the week.

BIG COMPLIMENT Well, at last I have found a man whose bump of appreciation has reached a generally pronounced and well-rooted personality. While this may seem a little ecotistical, I will feel in the following manner. I will have to send it through, both in appreciation of the high opinion in which the Boss of the company is held by his clever contemporary. Whit Wright of the Nashville Globe, the best author of *Banks*, Alan Bale gives a shout. "Tony" Langston of the Chicago Defender is really some hoy. For getting stance done we must rate him as one of his best players. He said knows "his stuff" when it come to him where the average reader can get them. We have read after him for "to, these guys," he said. He has been reading. His famous maxim: "If you can't do anything well yourself, be a critic" has been replaced by. "Never judge an actor, but you have a jung full of hot-air." The Chicago Defender should congratulate itself in having a personage as "Tony" on the staff, he always look for the defender on weekends going to say. Here's luck to you, "Tony." —Whi' Wright. And here is right back at you, Whit. Oh, he has your high opinion of me as well as your high shadow never grow less.—"Tony." BILLY KING & CO.

May 28-29-30 THE PRICE SHE PAID The evolution of a strong, self-sufficient woman out of a social butterfly is seen in "The Price She Paid," which will be the Selkirk Pictures feature at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Miss Clara Kimbail young, whose plurality with the moving picture public increases constantly, is the star of this offering, appearing as Mildred Gower, a young woman who has been used to find herself in poor circumstances at the Sundance Film Festival. David Graham Phillips, author of this popular story, has shown in real colors the problem which confronts thousands the problem every year. There is the temptation to purchase a gift, the temptation to purchase ease at the price of self-respect, and other sorts of "easiest ways." But Mildred Gower is shown to be a young woman who cherishes certain things, but not, when it comes to the crisis, pay the necessary price for sheltered existence. She does marry for money, but she leaves her wealthy husband when she realizes she is not married. She does accept help from a man she knows-Novies her, but again comes to an understanding of what it means. How she achieves her ambition forms on the most fascinating of fiction and screen stories. It is the story of a woman's secret emotions in a manner seldom seen in the phiot drama. In outward aspects the *Price She Paid* is the story deals with the lives of people of unlimited wealth. Miss Young's gowns are of the latest mode, and her beauty never has changed. The director, Charles Gibley, is a master of the Selznik gilts, and the *Price She Paid* is the first of a series of big movies that will be produced under his supervision.

May — In spite of bad weather and wet grounds which prevented any practice at all, so the varsity team returned this morning with a wonderful record and the A. A. U. intercollegiate baseball championship game. The first game was at Brick, N. C. against Brick's Institute. It was a fast and spartan battle, thus terminating in the victory. There were games as good as the first, one or two worse, and the best better. The national Training School team. In this game the team from the Eden of Pennsylvania had to beat a speedy team and be the first to win. The crises of this contest that Lincoln's loyal and ever true son, Prof. William Ashley, in his lively yammo and so electrified the team with a gnee-gnee days by leading them in singing their Alma Mater song that they won. The game at Danville, Va., with Biddle's University team, was lost on biddle of Lincoln's overconfidence. Bidding, at that time the score was 4 to 0 in favor of Lincoln. This was the inlining game between Lincoln and the baseball team. The Biddle team is a fine bunch of sports and such games as this athletics on a high and pure meridian. Hampton played an admirable game, but Lincoln held them in the pinches, which killed their spirit toward the last. Then came the Union game, which was the hardest of the trip. Wyatt and Lockett, Lincoln's star battery, kept the Virginian boys biting at the wind until the eighth inning. Then Hucles of Union started the batting rally by driving a ball down the third base line (which was a foul, but the umpire called it fair) for a two-base hit. Wyatt, Lincoln's star twirler, was in rare form. Only eighteen men faced him in the first six innings and Lockett was in his usual uncommon form. Not a man stole a base on him; in fact, he is known as the illustrious Petway of collegiate baseball. This battery gave the best performance that has been seen on any scholastic field this season. The orange and blue team is as follows: Manager Chamberlain, Captain Kimbrough, Waters, Proctor, Haskell, McMorries, Wyatt, McNeil, Smith, Henderson, Lockett, Branch, and the last but not least Fowlkes, whose hard and timely hitting won many a fracas, also won the batting honor of his team.

DISMOND—QUARTER-MILER Henry Binga Dismond, the fastest quarter-miller who ever attended a western college, received his B.S. at the March convocation and is now at work at Rush. When shall the Chicago undergraduates, eager attendants upon track meets, look upon his like again? Dismond is 25 years old. Born in Richmond, Va., in 1891, he entered Harvard University Academy at Washington, D.C., in 1908. Three years later in Brooklyn he won the point trophy of the Smart Set meet, taking the 220 and the quarter. The next two years, while working in Brooklyn, he ran for the Laughlin Lyceum, and was anchor man on the Lyceum relay team. In 1913 he was invited by his uncle, Jesse Binga, a well known banker in Chicago, to come west and study medicine, and in the fall he matriculated at the University of Chicago. In his freshman year he won the central A. A. U. quarter-mile championship and the national A. A. U. accepted by the National A. A. U..) As a sophomore he won the same championship in quarter 1 in 45 1-5, one of his most spectacular races, as he slipped at the start, last ten or twelve yards behind the leader. He went wide into the back stretch in California that summer he ran three in the national championships to Meredith. He offers a good ally, "I was not fast enough." On Washington's birthday, spread-eagled in his field in the Suburban (indoors), beamed Meredith 8 yards in PUGILISTIC GAME RECEIVED A SUBSTANTIAL COMPLEMENT Several Hundred Spectators Brave In- clement Weather to Pay Homage to Marquis of Queensbury Pastime— Mortimer Given Decision Over Young Peter Jackson. Tulsa, Okla., May 4.—That Tulsa is still strong for the boxing game was shown by the concourse of humanity turning out for the first bout in more than a month defying the elements and braving a threatening storm. The contest was slow in warming up the enthusiasts but toward the finish of the bout when Referee McClain was urging the men on to more pretentious deeds they fought with a furious energy that soon had the crowd in a frenzy of enthusiasm. The men had different styles of battling and the newness of the rules, breaking and various other technicalities prevented the mixing that is desired. Mortimer gained a slight edge and it was the unanimous judgment of the three judges that he be awarded the bout. There was no complaint to make on this score and the entire affair from entering the park until the last man had left was handled perfectly, with not a blemish to mar anyone's amusement, and the many ladies among those present felt well satisfied with the accommodations for their attention and vowed they would attend the next show, which occurs tonight, when Britt Simms, Tylsa's cleverest middleweight, takes on another newcomer, Ben Banks, Kansas City, desirous of annexing his laurels. Young Bully Smith was showing a slight margin over Jockey Bill, who quit in the seventh round and Billy McClain immediately announced that the latter's share of the purse would be turned over to "Old Lady" Kelly. JOE FOX KNOCKED OUT Toledo, May 4—In the Toledo Athletic club's first show Joe Fox made a chopping block of Buck Payne, the Deacon, and then ran into a wild swing in his anxiety to end matters, and was knocked out. Fox showed so much more boxing skills than he did, and a demand for rematching of the boys, and they will probably be brought together later. Williams of Dayton, Ohio stopped Jack Hannibal, the main event attraction, which pleased the crowd. Williams advantage in height and reach was a big factor in the fifth, when Williams cracked a right to the Indianapolis man's jaw. Jack Young of Newcastle and arouse the enthusiasm that the others did. Their work was mostly confined to the boxing ring.

In June, 1916, he won the Conference quarter at Evanson in 47 2-5, and in September, 1916, he will stand for ten years in all probability. The race was around one turn. He was in 23 3-8 seconds and romped home about 8 yards ahead of his nearest competitor. Williams of Wisconsin, who won the best previous Conference time. Dismond has never been beaten in an in-college quarter and the seldom failure to intercollege one-mile relay. His best time for the hundred yards is 10 1-5, and his best time for the two-mile relay. In four races against Ted Mercedith he has finished in the top four all indoors. His ideal distance is probably 400 yards; he fades a trifle in the last forty. He has never had quite the only Chicago quarter-miler of altogether his class, nor quite Davenport's on average. Only Chicago quarter-miler of altogether "Dayy"; in his two and half years of competition for Chicago, Dismond has won 34% points for Chicago in dual meets. 34% points in both above the average and as a sportsman without reproach. Few great runners without reproach. Few great runners prowess as incidental only, or have been more popular among their competitors. —The University of Chicago Magazine, April, 1917.

Johnson slipped to his knees during a rush in the fifth and Nack's supporters hailed it as a knockdown, which he and made aashon Johnson jumped to his feet and made aashon that carried Nack against the ropes. Patterson Defeats Caldwell By Ed. Besson Leo Patterson, the little fighting machine, knocked out Kid Caldwell Thursdays, scheduled ten-round, which was filled with excitement. Patterson, who was seated, and Kid Caldwell, who seemed to have lost some of his old time prestage, from the number of Caldwell rooters. This seemed to confuse Patterson and put him on the action for play. He went right in after Caldwell in a fashion and was met with equal opposition. He seemed dazed with fear or weakness until the fifth, when "Fat" slicked a nice bite to his arm, to give his glute at Caldwell's side (Boehring) and to Poole and Joe Washington) exclaiming: "You guys have out of this." When Paterson dashed a sponge of water partly on Caldwell, who was in the act of getting up, the two boys went together again and that dropped. Caldwell for another count. As the referee (Tim Moorehead) over and took a punch at Joe Washington, and made towards Poole and Sanders when a crowd rushed into the ring and made a general mix-up for a few minutes. Rich men at the ringside offered a few of Patterson and Joe Gans a box, but the man who was frad Gans would punch his eye out with his "nub fingers." "Pat," don't be like you, who likes you in West Baden, but they want you to fight somebody your equal.
