Sir: We have the honor to inform you that in view of the announcement in the press that the federal government has issued orders to the excommunicated boards of the country separating the names of white and colored soldiers and sanctioning the policy of establishing segregated Colored regiments we hereby enter our most salient arrest profiles against the excommunicated boards to make any distinction among their living liaisons on account of race or color, to this crisis for their country as being unauthorized by the Conscription Act and as being unjust, unconstitutional We are further informed that the federal government has decided to adopt the policy of "Jim Crow cars for the Colored soldiers, in transporting them to southern camps.

Receives $1,000 for Injuries Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 14.—Through the efforts of Dr. E. A. Bailey, one of the Cleveland's prominent Race physicians, the Cleveland City Railway settled for $1,000 with Theodore Taylor, 2320 East Thirty-sixth place, who sustained severe injuries several weeks ago, when a Scovill car was started too soon. The company and hospital physicians contended for a settlement of not more than $100, scouting Dr. Bailey's claim that his patient was seriously injured. X-ray tests of Mr. Taylor's injuries were made by disinterested parties, whose verdict coincided with Dr. Bailey's claims. The direct railway company then acquiesced.

Policeman and Newspaper Man Make Up Fake 'Riot' Story; Defender Brings Truth to Light --- In a futile attempt to destroy the good feeling and harmony that exist between the Seventh Infantry (white) and the Eighth Regiment, a cub rebel, the Eighth Regiment, gotten himself into a serious mix-up in his attempt to create a scoop for the newspaper he manufactured a wicked and harmful lie that has been sent broadcast, and not if nailed in its may may seem as a background for so-called violence and tranquility of feeling that has so long been heralded in the two regiments. Soon after the report was carried in to be published the Examiner office called up Adjutant Patton in order to light the fire in a blood-blooded lie over the wire for the purpose of confirming the cub-reporter's story. Adjutant Patton immediately notified the Examiner office that he was no longer able to use all means to obtain some light on the situation and report his findings later. He at once called the officer of the day and questioned him thoroughly and that officer told him that he had been informed of any conflict during the day. The misinformation arose out of the fact that some soldiers of the Examiner office were on Thirty-fifth street and Wentworth avenue Saturday night and a woman informed them that a member of the Race had been beaten up near the corner of Wentworth avenue. The soldiers decided that they would walk TO LAY CORNERSTONE M. Louis, Mo. Sept. 14. Sunday at 3 p. m. the St. Louis Y. M. C. A. will lay the cornerstone for the Colored branch at Pine and Ewing streets. A large number of paid-up subscriptions and the names of such persons will be placed in the stone.

MISS LENOR CONWAY WANTED Miss Lenora Conday is wanted by the Typographical Union, 332 South Houston Avenue, a valuable information for her. Money concerned. Marilyn the Defender. ST. LOUIS Y. M. C. A. CHESTER MITCHELL DIES down to the corner and see what the trouble was. When they got near the scene they met some of the Eighteenth Regiment provost guards who happened to be in the vicinity and asked them to join. When the men reached the playground they were just a little late to see that they had been formed by the Sergut. John Dougherty (white) arrest Hugh Ridgeway, who, in a state of intoxication, had fallen down a basement stairway and bruised himself. Sergut. Dougherty sent Ridgeway to Provident hospital and later ordered him sent to the station on charge of being drunk. A number of soldiers of the Seventh Regiment happened to be in the crowd of soldiers and the appearance of the Electoral Committee gave no slight military setting, but there was not even the slightest remark cast between the men of these regiments. In fact, when the soldiers found that the man had been sent to the hospital they immediately returned to Thirty-fifth street and went in various directions. There were no "fixed bayonets or skirts" on the station. They were brought in "bills," nor were there 500 white people held at bay, and five policemen and several detectives threatened with death if they even attempted to arrest the man, as the United Press circulated the painted lie throughout the country. There is no record at the army, police station or hospitals of some of the soldiers being seriously wounded from handkerchiefs and evaded the "hollow square" claimed by the white papers to have been formed by the Eighth boys. Adjutant Patton of the Eighth Regiment hounded the manufacturers of this lie until the evidence is now sifted down to a cub reporter of the Chicago Examiner and a policeman. The reporter claims the policeman told him the story, but the officer denies having even such a statement, and says he did not even report to the desk sergeant at the station a fight or near-riot, but arrested Ridgeway as being drunk. Detectives are at work on the case and expect to nab the inventor of the obnoxious lie in a few days. This is one of the many attempts by the white press to stamp out the good feeling existing between the regiments and to establish a contemptible attitude and harass and humiliate the soldiers of both races. So far their efforts have been fruitless, for when the Eighth Regiment visited the Chicago National ball park on the north side Friday afternoon the Seventh Regiment, upon the morning of the enter, came over and mingled freely and friendly. When a report of a riot between the soldiers was wired the City News Bureau they immediately tried to seek a method of verification, but falling in the attempt, crushed the whole story and failed to send out a single statement of the affair. Although the Examiner had no definite proof of disorder occurring between the men, they published the story nevertheless and started the lie on its disastrous journey. The Chicago Tribune joined hands in the effort. Harry Cummings, Baltimore Councilman. Is Dead Baltimore, Md., Sept. 14—Harry Smythe Cummings, member of the city council of this city and a prominent figure in civics affairs, died at his home, 1818 Druid Hill avenue, last Thursday, night. A complication of diseases is said to have caused his death. He had been in ill health for the past year, and was forced to take law practice and miss many sessions at the city council on this account. Mr. Cummings finished the public schools of this city, and later entered Lincoln University, Oxford, Penn, where he graduated in 1868, receiving a degree of bachelor of arts. His early education was on board and acting upon this desire he matriculated in the University of Maryland 1867, and finished the law course in 1869. He and the late Charles W. Johnson were the only Race men to graduate from the institution. He was admitted to the university, and enjoyed a large and lucrative practice up to the time of his illness. He entered politics in later years and was elected from the 17th ward as Councilman for three years, and served as the publicity when he seconded the nomination of Roosevelt at the Republican convention in 1904, where he was serving as representative for the 4th Congressional District. Mr. Bingham was married in 1890 to Miss Blanche Conklin, and two children were born to this union. He was 51 years old.

DON'T SAY I WANT A PAPER SAY I WANT A CHICAGO DEFE DER Second EDITION Grand Jury Holds Him Responsible for Riot Finds Thirty-Nine Others Guilty Trials Start October 1 By J. M. Batchman East St. Louis, Ill., Sept. 14.—The investigation into the recent riot situation here has reached such a high pitch and proceeded with such persistence that there seems to be some grounds for the belief that some good will actually result from the carnival hood and mob violence that played out with both races in this city recently. From all evidence it is highly probable that the obstreperous element will derive a great object lesson from this case. The police were consulted with them, as they have been very uncompromising in their attitude toward participants in the July massacre, Saturday the St. Clair county police department against thirty-seven persons, but their names were withheld pending their arrest. This same grand jury indicted 105 persons on Aug. 14 on charges of murder, assault, and were prominent police officials, who greatly aided the notorious element in its wholesale slaughter upon the lives of the victim and his companion, included in this board of advice that helped the mob are the Hon. (2) May- or Mollman and his private secretary, Maurice Ahearn. These men acted as stars in plotting the rough-neck white murderers in the attempt to crush and kill the jury. A first return of the jury to Judge Crow sixty-three indictments carried a total of 384 individual cases. Demony sheers up to last Tuesday had arrested seventy-three, thirty-two of whom were released on bonds to the other jurors. The Belleville J capiases have been issued for the other thirty-two. Conditions have been critical since the grand jury has been hard at work. After the last day of the riot a number of white people left the city, and SAVED FROM THE SOUTH Charged With Murder But His Release is Secured by Habeas Corpus Judge Joseph David of the Superior court is no friend of the southern sheriffs who think they have unlimited right to kidnap rape men and take them to charge they see fit to hatch up. And he took occasion last week to score Chicago police methods by which men were arrested, kept hidden in police cars or attorneys and then turned over to these kidnapping sheriffs to be taken to southern penitentiaries. Lee Chalmers, a hard-working honcho, worked at a west side foundry Saturday morning, charged, according to the police story, with having killed two white men in South Carolina and running away Chicago. He was hit in the back by a police car delivering him over to any other state sheriff. During the day (Monday) he located Chalmers, but the police would not book him so he could be taken a writ of habeas corpus, they booked him and secured a continuance, which still kept the poor man in jail. That did not satisfy his lawyer, who brought the case to the police for a petition for a writ of habeas corpus and the judge issued his order and the police officers were compelled to bring the prisoner to the police demand the police show the papers upon which Chalmers was being held they admitted that they had no papers to show he was charged with murder, but they charged him to give them to hold him until the papers came. Judge David was thoroughly aroused by the excuse used to justify the outrageous treatment of the prisoner which had been committed to keep the prisoner in jail. "Every man, poor or rich, white or black, has a right to be protected by the law, and if you have no lawful warrant to hold this prisoner you cannot hold him on a charge which shows perjury. The prisoner is discharged." The wife, relatives and friends of the prisoner rejoiced with him over his delivery from his wrongful accusers. It is hard to imagine the murder was committed fifteen years ago, but Chalmers says it is a false charge. He has been living in Chicago nine years and he intends to stay here, where judges know the law and refuse to let color affect their judgment. ROBBED WHILE ASLEEP CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS SERVICE Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 14. —William S. Scarborough from his slumbers Monday morning to find $'s gone, which he had left in his mouse's pocket. DR. H.S.CARBOROUGH HERE Dr. W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce university, was in the city this week on business for the school. He paid the Defender office a visit. PRICE 5 CENTS FAKE CTED Holds Him able for Riot ne Others Guilty rt October 1 it is reported that many are still slipping away under cover of night. The September grand jury meets on the September 11th, and it recommends that it continue the work with some seriousness and earnestness in order to stamp out the unruly element, in its report it says: "We have not been able to find the head and return indictments against all who have committed crimes in the recent riots in East St. Louis. The grand jury of the September term in 1714 had indicted that they continue this investigation and return indictments against others who are guilty of having committed crimes." Mayor Mollman was elected on a "law and order" platform in 1915 and was re-elected last spring. His indictment on Saturday was on a charge of nonfiance in office, and inter neglect of justice, law and order, and that he greatly abetted the mob in its inflated rashness. It is claimed that he surpassed with a coterie of corrupt politicians a submission to the laborer agents who used him as a means to an end. The better elements of whites have begun to resist the resignation and state that he greatness can contribute is to fulfill their wish. Maurice Ahearn, the secretary to Mollman, was also indicted for conspiracy, the specific charge against him being that the mayor used him to intimidate all of the citizens and stroved all photographs relative to the riots. The assistance he rendered the mob was valuable, and his only aim was to cripple the grand jury in its search for evidence. The report states that the mayor gave greater aid to the rioters than to the police and Ahearn, it is alleged, teamed to the event to act as a mouthpiece for their political advisers, and that they repulsed all aid offered by law-abiding citizens to help quell the riot. The militia and refused to direct the mayor also failed to enlist the services of the deputy sheriff and turned a deaf ear on the appeal of citizens to aid the sheriff. His lack of knowledge of the law and order's the prime object of his removal from office and a more efficient person placed in his steed. Some of the labor agents who have used him as a tool are now trying to skulk behind rhetorical utterances and those who are now suffering as a result of the disrespect of law and order. Following the riots a committee of 100, composed of business and professional men of the city, formed the committee to bring law and order into the mudded governmental affairs. The board of fire and police commissioners resigned, the fire and police, J. F. Rehl, Fred Gleissner, a merchant, and D. Foey, local representatives of the Southern railway, were appointed on the new board. The body was the controlling element in the attempt to department on an efficient basis. The penalty for malfeasance in office, with which Mollman is charged, is a fine of $2,000. The office conviction he is ousted from office is stated that Mollman's bond is fixed at $2,000 and Ahearn's at $1,000. Mollman has been on a vacation (?) near Atlanta. He abern refused to make a statement until charges are presented directly. Accuse Pastor Quinn Chapel of Drawing the Color Line (Special to the Defender) Louisville, Ky., rev. Rev. J. R. Harvey, pastor of Quinn Chapel A. M. E. church, is coming in for biter criticism. He is said to have regenerated the Race at a recent choir contest held in his church, refusing to al- piment members of the Race to the scats reserved for "white people." He seems to have added insult to his reputation by all white judges to decide the contest. The criticism is led by Dr. Edward Bates, prominent physician.

FOR HAIR THAT WILL STAY STRAIGHT USE PALM CREAM AND PALM OIL The only safe and guaranteed straightener on the market. Say, Clara, Mr. W. would be a very handsome young man if it wasn't for his awfully bad hair, wouldn't he? Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of climate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country, South America, the West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess used by so many people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not grease your hat, but will give your hair that beautiful, silky, glossy effect so much desired by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents. Special rates to barbers.

SEE—The Racing Auto Leap 50 Foot off a Draw Bridge—The Battle for Wealth and a Girl—The Aeroplane Flight—The Great Conflagration HERBERI BRENON PRESENTS THE LONE WOLF SELZNICK PICTURES PAGE FOUR RODGERS PLEASES "Lack of competition is one reason why the man who minds his own business succeeds." A great bill was presented for the first half on Monday night; there was a diversified group of offerings that satisfied the most exacting, and held up best, the last minute. The first on was the Wonder Act, which introduced to the demonstration of the use of liquid air; the act was well named and the fents, with an eating eggs on a cake of ice, stewing ice cream hard over a fire and solidifying alcohol, some of which exacting, and hold every seat filled to the last minute. The Wonder Act, which introduced a fine demonstration of the use of liquid air, the act of blowing and mending and the feats, such as frying eggs on a cake of ice, stewing ice cream, fire and solidifying alcohol, something that is commonly considered The last half week held over Harrison Stewart & Viola, who continued very popular. The Three Anderson Sisters, dancers extraordinary, put over some speedy terpiscoreum stuff that was great. They were followed by Kitty Flynn in topical songs that wont over, and the other in novelty, and last on Moreno, Navarro and Moreo, in a great hand balancing and acrobatic net. AT THE MONOGRAM An all-time favorite presented this week, the place of honor will have to be given Chicago's old time favorite, Lotte Grady, who returns with the same popularity of former visits, plus added hairstyles made by her eastern trip, which has been chronologically added. Grady had added many new features to her clever act, and her mimicry and impersonations are a distinct hit with the folks who pack the theater at every performance. Her costumes are remarkable and the lightning changes made by her are as attractive in result as the hairstyles she was accorded a fine reception on Monday night. Boots Hope is another single on the bill that deserves more than passing mention. He has a distinct manner that is different from the ordinary line followed by monologues from star to finish. Selmon & Sellmon, one of the cleverest pairs seen in a long time, have a line of comedy talk, topical songs and clever dancing that more than pleased: the work is full of action, and the comedy clean. The comedy is frivolous, the trude Miller, formerly of the Waterman Trust, and Ludle W. Johnson, have an act that lives up to the great advance notices sent ahead, and is full of pep and laughter. Miss Miller is a singer of topical songs that knows her clever partners, gives as raced twenty minutes of real entertainment as a ticket buyer could ask for. The bill continues over Sunday. AN 1800 SEAT HOUSE Desk Work on Monday that. Mr. Flower of the Owl theater, had bought 125x125 feet, on the northwest corner of 35th street and Forest avenue, and that ground is possible to make way for an 1800 theater which will be stricty for vaudeville.

AT THE OWL The Headline act which remains for the full week this week, is *Daniels & Davis*, one of the clearest teams ever known as the Original Skunktown Kowals is a comedian of no mean ability, and keeps the audiences in an uproar from start to finish. His partner is also a comedian, and the team it would be hard to find their finale, aside from several split-week acts, all of which are above the ordinary, we are running the following feature films: *The Wire*, *The Burglar*, and the Lady, The Plow Woman, The Neglected Wife, and The Golden God.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER "ON TRIAL" A 'romarkably strong cast will be seen in "On Trial," the great Essayan special, which comes to the States theater for two days, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 15th and 16th. It is headed by famous star, Sydney Alnaworth and he has supreme support. A short synopsis follows: Robert Strickland is on trial for the murder of Gerald Trask. Strickland pleads guilty and does not want a robbery being the cause of her Trask and Glover, her husband's secretary, take the witness stand. Then they are shown as on the night of the crime. Hearing a revolver shot, they rush into Gerald's room. Gerald with a revolver in hand is standing over Trask's body. The safe is open and $10,000 gone. Loris, little daughter of Strickland takes the revolver. She discovers that her mother had lost her purse near Trask's home. She tells her father about it. Mrs. Strickland is the next witness. She is portrayed as a victim of her mother, she admits her relations with Trask. She is then portrayed as before her marriage being made the dupe of Trask. After her marriage she is shown at his mercy. He threatens ex-convict Roberto, unless she does what he asks of her. Strickland then takes the stand. He has faced electrocution rather than expose his wife, but with all the details now out, he admits that he went to the police to report his wife to the right to the wrong to his wife. Glover is forced to admit the robbery. The jury's verdict is "not guilty." Exactly as it appeared on the stage, "the woman was filmed, by the limited opportunities offered by the stage, the picturization is even a greater hit than the drama. CONSOLIDATED GROWS One of the most interesting advertisements seen on this page for a long time is the one that starts in this issue, and placed by the Consolidated Martin Klein has had for a long time a frame a set of theaters that would permit him to send nets all over the country, from the northern border to New Orleans and east of the Rocky mountains. On his trip a short time ago, he commutated deals whereby companies would week in as many different cities is made possible, the routing being laid out in a manner which will permit the jumps being made without the possibility of a lay off on account of distance. This enables Mr. Klein to handle the number of acts that are loyal to the old Consolidated. He wants to hear from acts all over the country, whether or not they have been north or south of the city, and if he will be given prompt attention. Managers who want acts will do well to write also. BIG ACTS COMING There will be two acts seen at the Grand next week that are far above the ordinary; for the first half, beginning on Monday night, the team of the act is one of the best featured. This act is one of the best featured and the patrons of this house will surely enjoy it. Cliff Green was one of the stars at the old Pekin, and Miss Bailey has been a member of the best attractions of the past ten years. The stars are Sid Kirkpatrick and Laura Bowman and their greatest vocalists and performers; this is their first appearance in the west as a team, but they have gained a remarkable reputation in the east, where they have played the best of the contemporary circuses. Sid Kirkpatrick and Laura Bowman are one of the old Pekin stars, and was seen at the Grand a couple of years ago in an act with Tim Owley. DUDLEY'S CIRCLE Detroit, Mich., Sept. 12.—The Law of Nature, the third and greatest of the Lincoln Motion Picture Company's productions, has been booked by E. W.

SOME LETTER The following letter hit the old Roll Top Desk the first thing on-Monday morning.

Dear Mr. Langston, Sept. 7, 1917, I was from the sunny south. I have had a very�-cheered trip with my own one lay-off in ten months, despite and article published in another paper by Sylvester Russell, who has a grudge to have never paid him with a minor or money. I started to work, of course, was not true. We are playing 91 theater after an absence of only seven weeks in the home, but which play a light week-to-week of the theater, is a maze at Macon far live with the other two at Savannah. My only week lay-off followed by the Grand Chicago engagement with a friend of the same time. I was leading man being Francis Smith of Cleveland, who knows you well. He starred in Europe on the stage and in films for years. Eddie Day is my friend, and he member of the Whilby, Whilby, Eagle Page, Edgar Pyle, Maggie Nandy, and I am adding Charley Gilpin and his partner. I have heard that Medill Thompson gave Sylvester Russell those new articles, quit like a thief in the night, drawing money from me, and he tried to get 20 from Mr. Douglass, owner of the theater, but the latter was too wise to tell me that he had a good time with me and the only trouble I have is to keep people after they have become "Dinge Rich." The author of the contemptible lies has my best wishes for remembrance of the life of the author, and I am there, there was such a "mutt" on earth. While he in Chicago some time in the winter, as my booking brings me there. I made a quick trip from Spokannah to Aulangland, where I was on the ocean. Mr. Smith is manager in my absence. I did a little posing for a tooth powder concern while in Florida and will tell you about it later. Please read my friend's letter in and out, and write when the notion strikes you.

Says Phosphates Make Beautiful Women and Strong, Healthy, Vigorous, Robust Men. Physicians all over the world are prescribing phosphates to build up run down endemic conditions and those who have treated their patients with Argo-Phosphate are changing thin, endemic women with toneless tissues, flabby flesh, into the most beautiful rosy cheeked and plump round formed women. Atlanta, Ga. - Dr. Jacobson said in a recent interview that 90 per cent of anemia comes from nervous breakdowns, which can only be corrected by supplying the necessary phosphates to the nervous system that is lacking in the food you eat, and this can be quickly supplied by taking one or two 5-grain Argo-Phosphate tablets after each meal, and at bed time. It will in many cases make a pale, sedurous face the picture of health in a few days. I have seen women that I expected would have to be kept under treatment for months restored to perfect health in a few weeks. OFFICIAL NOTICE: The Argo Phosphate recommended by Dr. P. H. Jacobson contains phosphates such as are prescribed by leading physician throughout the world, and it will be found the most effective form for treating patients with extreme post-disaster. Stomach Troubles. Brain Faz and Neuroprosthesis. It will renew youthful aim and vigor, and build up the whole body. If your druggist will not supply you with Argo-Phosphate, send $1.00 for two weeks to Argo Laboratories. 10 Forth St. Atlanta, Ga.

From left to right, Woodring, Meadowbrook A. C., Philadelphia, Pa.; Walters, Paulist A. C., New York City; W. D. Hayes, Boston A. C., Boston. By Dave Wyatt Harry ("Mike") Moore is dead. Such was the sad, sad news that was passed to thousands of the devotees of the national pastime early last week. Through the demise of Harry Moore the game has lost for all time one of the most remarkable players. Moore was about old when he began in the game continuously from 1898 up to and including 1911. His last apperance was with the Chicago Giants in the championship series, that was played during the summer of 1911 at Schorle's game against "Rube" Foster's American Giants. A noticeable deflection in Moore's former high class of play was noted and many of his logion of admirers took it to the playhouse, athlete had only harkened to the beacon of Father Time. A short while thereafter Moore quite be the game; his time was spent at the playhouse. Moore was born at Detroit, Mich. Three brothers, a sister and an aged mother survive him. In his time he was the greatest utility player of color that has ever been introduced to the baseball public. He was without a peer as he was known for juggers or included. He was known as an officer by all baseball men, white and black, who have been interested in the past within past fifteen years of his playing. He deplored his quiet, unassuming and his temperament was as mild as a baby's. He was a gentleman both on and off the field, and he was offended over a display the derisions of the crowds, or an adverse de BLACKBURN 'CONTINUES TO WIN PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Sept. 14. The two new Blackburn in this city recently prove that the weight is rapidly tightening his way back to his old form. In both contests Blackburn, as usual, was matched and won the time he was matched self. In fact, never but once in the boxing career in this city did Blackburn box men of his own weight, and was the time he was matched calmly. Blackburn often been classed as a freak in the boxing line, because he was tall and had a long reach, but this advantage was mainly offered by the fact that different opponents were generally made up in the matter of weight. But Blackburn's success in the ring was not due to any difference in the ring, and his much as to the fact that he was con- stantly trying to improve his boxing and also to cultivate coolness and good judgment in the ring, and his should she offer it to the young boxers of today to help them toward success. In the first place, Blackburn never underrated an oppo- nent he immediately started training and always trumped faithfully till the date of the conc. in which he was to take part. When he entered the ring he did not use liquor and he used tobacco only very sparingly. CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS SERVICES Berkshire, Mass. Sept. 14.—Albert K.

He was not only efficient as any of the regulars as an inblerder, particularly at first base. He could pitch a first class game and a great outfield game, and would think he was the regular. His nearest competitor along utility lines was William Bowman, who has also escaped away. Both were members of the one game he played some years ago. Moore led all rivals in the respect that he was one of the game's greatest batters. In the games he played, Moore was as natural hitter. He had a easy swing, but his swipe carried terrific force. With the great array of talent that graced the line-up of the team, Moore led the game as a hitter. When that organization was a member of the Chicago Baseball League, and it was comprised of playoff big league caliber and fame, Moore led the league as for twenty-nine games as follows: Games, 28; at bat, 41; runs, 18; hits, 31; two-base hits, 45; sacrifice hits, 5; Harvey Woodson, sporting editor of the Chicago Tribune, was president of the league and the above rating was held by the Louis Gerterson and James Cushman and Moore to Moore in hitting. Joe Green of the Lelands followed Moore with an ace, and the seven games and Pete Hill was third, or orphaned boys with 311 for twenty-seven games. He was first, became prominently known as a member of the Chicago Unions of 1836-7-8-9. However, he was the first of that famous organist, and the regular line-up 1898 was: Jackson, Jones, Fonte, c.; Buckner, Holland, p.; Moore, lb.; Hoppins, 28. B. Smith, c.; William Smith, c.; W. Jones, w. All are living and in good health. However, but one of the old fellows is now pitching for the Chicago Giants; Monroe and Talbert, both of whom died recently, joined that organization, and Monroe in 1899 he met in 1900. Harry Moore he met in 1900 following clubs: Chicago Unions, Algoona Brownies, Cuban Giants, Fe'gavna Cuba, Leland Giants, Chicago Giants, and the Chicago Giants' memory of Harry "Mike" Moore exist.

YARDS 6830 By Mister Fan Schorling's Park, Sunday Afternoon. —Grant pulled one of those prize Merkles and the American Giants lost a twelve-inning struggle to the All Nations, with John Donaldson pitching, 'Twas a hard game to lose, rather a hard one to sit and see being tossed away. Up till the ninth frame Redding had held the boys from Kansas City hitless, then Yendez hit one toward second base. Do Moss came over to the pitcher, then pitcher hit the corner of his man, but the ball hit the corner of the sack, bouncing off for a single. Steno hit an easy one to Barber, who was playing third in the place of who was out, who was out of the game with a wawawaw dugout ball up all right and heaved. He heaved it to the bleacher stands. Yendes scored. Steno came in when Grant in returning the throw to Dixon with a overflow scent, which were empty owing to the weather. Steno was then at second, Umpire Goeckel ordered him back to third, as ground rules entitled him to a third base. The score remained till the game ended. When Grant dropped an easy throw from Lloyd on Torrentti's roller, with two men gone. Coleman then walked and Donaldson got a two-bagger to cannake made an awful try, but the shipment was not enough to roll into the foul line territory. In the home half Grant poked one over second and it went for two bases when Torrentti played with it. Dixon pushed the sacrifice飞 to Torrentti for the second out.

If we are accepted it be understood that whenever and we up against it.

If the intention of the War Depar where possible the cantonment there shall be one Negro in amount of unfavorable comment from called "colorphobia," and they have won war with the closed door. "Slushes between the local police where the military police are white men military police are northern Negroes and If one were seeking to create a situation could have more interest to be pity the ignorant. Fortunately by-product. If both the white and black police, where lies the blame" Or is it wrong, the placing of our troops to trouble the law, large percentage of Negroes in the army in a southern community, especially assume an arrogant swagger which is to avoid trouble, and the swaggering simple words will not be wasted in an if the south had had full swudent Americans have fought the right of out of the old red, white and blue from every man who has the welfare of his Big Meeting in Interest of the Race in Terre Haute, When school took up, we kids 'at live around' th' neighborhood All told our teacher 'at wed try an jeb=awful ask' All told our teacher 'at wed try an jeb=awful ask' She didn't stand last year She didn't stand no foolishness, she'd up box your ear.

Our Position on the War Map NOT A VERY COMFORTABLE FEELING, this hanging in the balance, but it seems we have at last reached terra firma, or very close to it. If it has not been a question with the heads of the War Department, it has with a certain element: What to do with the colored troops. Where must they encamp—in the north, where friction is at low ebb; or in the south, where friction is on tap at a moment's notice? No stone has been left unturned by the southerners that would block the troops from coming to their section. The East St. Louis and Texas riots have been worn to a frazzle as Exhibit "A"—meaning against the invasion. Talk about a united country and the interest of one being the interest of all! It listens well, makes digestible reading, but is very indigestible in action. The ignorant, the prejudiced and the disloyal express sentiments such as these found in a Texas paper: "It is not a time to talk about 'fairness' to Negro troops that have caused no trouble. It is not a time to make observations to the effect that if these troops cannot be afely sent to the south, then the south is to blame. It is not a time, in short, to go into subtilities of the race question. The COLD FACT IS THAT NEGRO TROOPS CANNOT SAFELY BE QUARTERED IN A SOUTHERN COMMUNITY. The War Department was wrong. Why not prevent further trouble by withdrawing all Negro troops from the south immediately?" Fortunately Secretary Baker is not the kind of man that can be affected by every varying wind. He has made no change in his original order to send all troops to the cantonments designated. In his position he knows, or should know, that no one section of the country should dominate any other section; he knows that internal strife, at this particular stage in the war game, is fatal to success; he knows that one-tenth of Uncle Sam's fighting force is black; he knows while they are one-tenth in numbers they are tenthens in loyalty and fighting strength; he knows that if his department cannot control the situation in our own country, it has little chance of doing effective work in other countries; he knows, from the Revolutionary war up, we have enlisted willingly, and our record has always been a brilliant one; he knows to belittle our worth at this time is uncalled for and unjust. The matter is one of nation-wide interest. In fact, in the south it constitutes one of the most disquieting issues connected with the enforcement of the draft law. Our recruits must and will be trained. On this point there cannot be two options, and the training must be equal in every respect to that given any other option; as is expected, the matter of segregation let be understood as that we have no control over it and wherever it is up against it. If we are good enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with our white comrades in the trenches; if we are good enough to lead the charges, as we have done many times in the past, that have brought victory to our concern; if we are good enough to lay down our very life for our country, our concern where we are placed upon and abridged, we are good enough to enjoy the fruits of our service. It is the intention of the War Department to apportion our troops evenly, when possible, in all contemnities. A recent order providing that in every case, no matter what the nature of the contemnity, the usual amount of unfavorable comment from those suffering with that case should be called "colorphobia," and they have warned the War Department that trouble "clashes between the local police and the military pool" in force. They argue where the military police are white men. What shall be said, then, when the military police are northern Negroes and the local police southern white men? What shall be said, then, when the military police could a combination more certain to bring about such a result is deferred? We pity the ignorant. Fortunately, our people have not a monopoly on this business, white and black military police clash with the local police, where lies the blame" (1). We pity the wrong? If the placing of our troops in that section is setting the stage for trouble, let trouble come. Again, we are told: "Experience has shown that a police officer can be so loose with arms and ammunition in a southern community, especially if the police assume an arrogant swagger which is calculated to precipitate trouble. What can be expected, then, when the irresponsible white man, who does not seek help, is arrested and arrested. Negro meet. The question is so simple words will not be wasted in the police's mind if the south had had full sway students of history well know. It is because Americans have fought for the right of mankind to life, liberty, and the purity of the human spirit. In the great struggle to keep the old red, white and blue from trailing in the dust is side by side with every man who has the welfare of his country at heart. (Special to the Defender) Teresa Quintanilla, Sept. 14—The Race in this section is supported by the white people, including the mayor, is preparing to make the Emancipation celebration on Sept. 22 the biggest event in the history of the city.

We desire to say a few words to our new comers, our new neighbors, who have recently come among us, and whom, we are pleased to say, are proving, to a large extent, to be sober, industrious and anxious to improve their social, educational and industrial conditions. We are concerned that, in order to improve the above named conditions, it is very essential to have good health; that it is very necessary to comply with the two basic needs of the health department; and that it pleased to say, are proving, to a large extent, to be sober, industrious and anxious to improve their social, educational and industrial condi- tions, for every person to have good health; that it is necessary to comply with the laws issued by the health department; and that it is necessary to cooperate in every way possible with all these forces that have for their object the improving of working, housing and general sanitary and hygienic condi- Many of our new neighbors have come to us from rural districts, where they live close to nature and to nature from crowding and congestion. Here in a large city like Chicago they and conditions to be quite different: in Chicago and in other northern cities, people are apt to overcrowd for the purpose of fuel. Then, too, people uninustomed to life in a large city—those who have heretofore lived in the rural districts, where it was not necessary to ventilate, and living apartments their homes and living apartments and thereby breed disease.

It is a dead certainty that some of the other children in that family will sooner or later come down with the same disease. Being Vaccinated A great many of our new neighbors have come from sections of this country where little or no attention is paid to smallpox or of scourtle fever, whippins-cough, measles, etc. They were not properly informed or advised of the methods of their prevention and the proper methods of their prevention, for many are afraid to be vaccinated. Some foolish, ignorant people claim they would rather have smallpox than scourtle fever but those that make such foolish expressions have never had smallpox. There is only one sure way of prevention and revaccination, until the system becomes fool proof against smallpox. Infants, children and parents should be vaccinated; and all children of school school before entering school, also they will not be permitted to attend school, and the law will bear very heavy penalties for children to school between the ages of 6 and 14, and this is right and proper. Board of Education In a recent letter sent out by the department of education, it was stated that 24 per cent of the school children of the City of Chicago are unvaccinated; and that means over 100,000 school children in our city are not protected against smallpox. Is your child properly vaccinated? If not, will you see to it that your child as well as yourself are properly vaccinated and thus protected against smallpox? The charged by many people that the recent comers to Chicago are largely responsible for the great number of smallpox cases now prevalent: that since January 1, 1917, there has been 226 cases, which is four times as many as the usual number for the City of Chicago. A large percentage of these cases are charged up to $10. Colored people who have recently come, for the reason that they have not been vaccinated and that they are unwilling and seem to do all they possibly can to avoid being vaccinated. People who are not on hide and endeavor to avoid being vaccinated are standing in their own light, and not only endangering their own health and lives, but the health and lives of other good people in the city. Vaccination is simple, yes, a very simple affair, entailing but little time, time, time, and is an absolute protection against smallpox. It is a standing rule of the department of education to not admit who has not been properly vaccinated. Other Contagious Diseases Diphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping cough, mumps and measles are diseases that become more prevalent among children as they congregate together in the various schools of this city, and it is your duty to report each and every case to your family physically and to make the health department immediately so that your milk is given and then may be properly quarantined and treated and thus prevent the spreading of contagious diseases. Just as soon as your child becomes sick call in your family physician: if you are not able to pay a physician, then call a city physician to learn that once the nature of the complaint that your children often make mistakes by not calling to the doctor to her sick child, and mistakes have often been made by even some doctors—one true case of smallpox was diagnosed as measles and so treated. Mothers, do not call in every old-sanny and fog person in your neighborhood to that year and not use root remedies and various home remedies for coughs and colds, for sore throat, etc., and do not resort to many of the fogy teas for breaking up fever, such as bone set tea, life everlasting tea, sheep ninny tea, tar water, etc., but have your child or yourself properly examined and smoked the nature of your sickness. Co-operate with your doctors and nurse in being restored health. Hampton, Va., Sept. 14—The last big meeting in Hampton's summer campaign will be held at Lenox, Mass.
