RBER'S WALLOP BREAKS UP TEN-INNING GAME AT PALM POLICE CATCH AUTOIST WHO KILLED WOM BISHOPS' COUNCIL REBUKES ILLINOIS GOVERN Two Chicago Soldiers Held for Murder at Houston Three Days to Get Troops to FINAL EDITION Gus Carter Is Held for Manslaughter Following Death of Mrs. Ellen Weston "That was my big mistake; I was scared; I was frightened; I will never be able to drive that car again." The erim, gray walls of old Twenty-sixth street and Cottage Grove avenue station fairly echoed with this exclamation of this Carter driver of the big, black thighs, which struck and killed Mrs. Ellen West, third street, on the dismal night of Feb. 11, and left her dying in the street. Carter's speedy arrest has not only caused the perpetrator of the crime, but the company that arrested Carter has eluded the police in their search for the slayer of Mrs. Weston. Like many parallel crimes by speeding to victims in the roads, this case might have been traced—mystery—with the rest of them, had not detectives Scott and Middleton of the Twenty-sixth street and Cottage Grove avenue nicked up a slow white car in the arrest and confession of Carter. Witnesses Testify A thorough investigation made by Officer Lucian South, upholded many witnesses of the incident to the inquest on Monday afternoon. Mrs Ada Clark, 2826 State street, passenger of the death car gave the following statement: "I got into the car at Thirty-first and the car was parked in the grand theater, and as I did not see any car, and because of the rain, I took the taxi. As we neared Thirty-first street corner I felt a job. (The witness said that he had strayed a car the car passing over the body of Mrs Weston.) I screwed up and asked the chauffeur if he didn't hit some one, and that he had strayed a snow bank. When I up the block and then he stopped, I got out and walked to my home. The car continued south." The chauffeur by that of Mrs Williams, Worthington, 2847 State street, another passenger, Mrs Lousia Delphosse, 2320 State street, told of her seizure being attracted by a dog about 10.55. When she nervously lynched at about 10.55, the car was gone and this street lights dim. you followed the testimony of Jack Dodgeon 2311 Walash avenue; Clara Corker 2328 Walash street, and Elidhra Corker 2328 Walash street, and on the street at the time of the accident. All three reached the crumpled body of Mrs Weston at about the same time. She was lying on the north-bound truck and no evidence of injury had been drawn. Doobon picked her up and carried her into the dead store on the corner, where she succumbed a few minutes later. Cook apparently was the victim of the driver to warn the victim of her impending danger. All evidence disclosed shows that the lights on the car were out and the street was dark. Carter Takes Stand. All through this awful recital of facts Corker 2328 Walash street, all witnesses站着, and a distracted look on his face, hands folded, eyes dilated and head bent, wholly disinterested in the whole affair, except for an occasional glance she witnessed. The dimly lit room she stepped in and another as he told of his part in the affair. In a feeble voice the prisoner said: "I was I necared 33d street, I saw the woman. On approach, I blew my eyes. Seeing that she did not hear, stopped. When I started up again, she shattered in front of the machine." When questioned why he did not stop and go back, Carter said: "I was afraid. It bottom of my heart it drained out." Evidence plainly shows that Carter after striking the woman, made no effort to offer Mrs. Weston any position in the police force in the garage, he did not attempt to notify his employer, George Ellis Wabash avenue, who owned the carer or notify the police. The corporeal jury deliberated for fully the turnover of the woman, charging her with manslaughter, and he is held to the grand jury.

Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY Decision in Boston-West Virginia Slave Case Is to Be Given Feb.28 By Charles E. Freeman BY CHARLES E. FROEMAN Boston, Mass., Feb. 22.—The last word in the defense of John Johnson, who is charged by the federal authorities of the Southern District of West Virginia, for the murder of his wife, has been said, it was well said, too that able and eloquent Race lawyer, Hon. William H. Lewis. From the beginning this case has been one of unification and fortitude, and as dino has gone on and power has been taken over the case has become one of national importance, and one of the most famous that has ever been heard in Massachusetts, we have so many issues involved that chastened the tendering lawyers were common. It was just here that Race lawyers were seen at their best. Butter R. Wilson, one of Johnson's leading lawyers, had much to prove. He was a man of defense. His ability in framing questions, which the learned district attorney, Mr. Goldberg, could find no apparent, Mr. Wilson himself to be a master in presenting evidence and arguing technical legal points. Upon just this evidence, which had been honestly given by the witnesses, Mr. Johnson had so carefully arranged by Mr. Wilson, did Mr. Lewis make his great argument before Commissioner Hayes. All who heard Mr. Lewis at this time, and who were honestly done their full duty by him. There are no arguments, agreed that he never made a better argument in all his life. If Mr. Johnson is not saved from the mobs of West Virginia, it is not because his boss of West Virginia alone done their full duty by him. There are no arguments, agreed that the authorities of West Virginia will never have the pleasure of burning Johnson at the stake or of sending him to the military residence of his natural life. There are no arguments, agreed that Commissioner Hayes will follow the example of his excellency. Samuel W. McCall, the able attorney in the commonwealth, and refuse to send Johnson back to the southern state. This Godby woman had been under the direct control of the police and all is said and done, are the people all are trying to get Johnson. This poor tool is dominated by this gang of southerners and is compelled to do as they are told. In 1914 she was convicted in the courts of Charleston of disorderly conduct and was fined $15. In 1915 she was convicted of soiling and fined $30. On June 1 of the same year she was convicted of assault and fined $15. In 1916 she was convicted of adultery and fined $10. On March 19, 1917, she was charged with adultery and fined $15. In a character as Edith Godby, Catherine of Russia, Madame de Maintonen and Lucretia Borgia must take seats in the shade. She has no power to responsibly. She would sweat away life as little compunction of conscience, as most mortals would kill a snake. Her testimony is entirely uncorroborated. Her case must stand and upon all who met the judge, GOING "OVER THE TOP" French colonial troops breaking through the barbed wire entanglements in a charge to capture a German trench. These troops have shown such remarkable bravery that here and there in the streets of Paris they are seen on leave of absence from the front, showered with flowers and kisses, as they walk erect along the boulevards. Every one wears a medal of honor or some mark of bravery, bestowed upon them by both French and English governments. Henry L. Johnson Fought "Lily Whites" to Standstill Special to the Defender St. Louis, Mo. Feb. 22—While this city was the scent of the defeat of Perry W. Howard for his seat on the national committee and the shameful defeat of the committee there was a victory here that must not be forgotten. Following the refusal of the committee to nominate a national committee, the seat H. F. MacGregor, national committee man from Texas, attempted to put the "ily whites" completely in the saddle. He was licked to a standstill by Henry Lester, Johnson of Georgia. MacGregor provided that, since Mulvihill had been seated, the Mulvihill state committee be recognized over the Ligan committee. The national committee was alarmed that Mulvihill had held between Rosese Simmons, Johnson and Robert R. Church. Johnson then got the attention of MacGregor still on his feet. For ten Georgia law read the title of MacGregor and all the political races surrounding him. Mr. Johnson had the result was that the Texas Billy stammered out an apology, and amid the scorn of the committee begged to be allowed to withdraw his resolution. He decided that both committees in the state could tight it out. The state convention of Mississippi that can show the number of Republican in attendance authorized by the next national convention.

READ THIS, THEN FIGHT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT WE MUST HAVE A COMPLETE RECORD OF THE EAST ST. LOUIS INVESTIGATION The Congressional Record of February 4 reports Congressman Benjamin Johnson of Kentucky, chairman of the congressional committees, investigated the East St Louis riots and did not think it would be necessary to print in full the report of the investigation because it would require about $5,000. He said that this is a most remarkable statement to come from the chairman of the committee, which was the result of the investigation to investigate the worst horror of the attack. That investigation was ordered for the purpose of getting the facts and fixing the blame. And the chairman of the committee advises that this testimony be packaged in a congressional file room and buried instead of printing thousands of copies and sending it broadcast throughout the country. The only thing this can be prevented for all the readers of this paper to write letters or send telegrams to the congressman that this investigation be published in the Race organizations in the country pass resolutions asking the same thing and send these resolutions to their congressman.

Louis Lipitsz, state director of war savings for Texas, Roscoe Contling Simmons, who planned to speak at the big Jackson rally Friday night, has made the most unique tour in his career.

Private Mann Talks Freely "We were sent to take out a ditch in front of the base hospital," said Mann in sullen tones. "After we finished we went to the cump of the hill we walked around a little. Then we sent him a bush pit and sig under some bushes. The guard gave us a cigarette. Then he told us he would take us in town. He said he would take us in town and fused to take us anywhere. When I was getting up he kicked me in the stomach, and that got me crazy and was the cause of my doing what I did. He said he was going to the crime. He stated that he was the sole support of a mother and young boy who had never had a chance. Only two hours were consumed in the day's work-martial. This is the quickest disposition made of any similar case on record. Son in Army, Woman Denied Work Because of Her Color The tearful appeal of Mrs. Minerva A. Rollins, 2238 S. Dearborn street, had no effect upon the foreman of the Salle street, when she applied there for work. Although the company had advertised for help, the only reason the foreman could give for refusing her employment was her color, and when seen a white woman, the following pathetic statement: "In looking for work Monday morning, accompanied by a white woman, we went to the Acme, Packing Co., 2228 S. Dearborn street, and found a white woman just ahead of us. The manager or some person in authority was standing in the door, and he told the white woman in front of us to step in the office and when she asked, "What do you want? I replied, 'I am looking for employment,' he then told me that he had all the colored women and when the white woman with me told him that she was also looking for work he told her to step into the office. "I am the mother of Sergeant Perry James Rollins, Co. L, 3654th Inf. Camp, Rockefeller Park, New York. I support, but since his wife is to be looked after now, all I ask is a chance to earl my daily bread. I think that I, a the American mother of an American consideration and be allowed to offer an existence for myself.

Say, Clara, Mr. W. would be a very handsome young man if it wasn't for his wutty bad hair, wouldn't be? 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 slick, stubborn and not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess used by so many people for the hair.

They say we can get any newspaper for from one cent to five cents a copy, but the premium Sun of Righteousness. To these people we say that the newspapers you buy from one to five cents a copy are paid for before you get them by advertisers who pay from one dollar to ten dollars for each space they use up on the paper in advertisements, but this is not so with the Supreme Sun of Righteousness. It is common public advertising sheet. Every one paid for but the publishers of the paper from one dollar to ten dollars per inch is used up with Supreme news and information coming to all its readers that has paid for but the publishers of all its readers. You can see then it is the cheapest paper in the world after all, as every inch of it is worth a dollar. You can pay one dollar for each paper for one single dollar. If you had to pay one dollar an inch for each inch of the paper, just four pages of it should cost you or each reader over one dollar, and each of them get it for one dollar only to help pay the cost of its publication. If a postal card from Tobacco smokers and tobacco chewers of an army in the Civil War is received, the pile of the total amount of cash that has been received from the people in America, is sold for Three Hundred Dollars R. L. this January, 1918, then a newspaper informing the people of the world of the present mind of the Almighty God, ought to sell for the people this age, ought to sell for the people This Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000). And if a postal card sent from Europe and direct facts as to how much the people have received from their friends in America in the beginning of the war in time is worth Three Hundred Dollars ($800,000) is sold of it, for that amount in Providence, recently, then a newspaper sent to the friends of the holy warriors of the Civil War, facts as to how and on what condition God is now willing and will give His people victory over the devil and his enemies. Three Hundred Millions ($800,000,000) a copy, and any man or woman that would not pay one Dollar for a copy of it will not forgive them, and such people as such would such people get any tobacco to smoke or any bread to eat, for I am sure that there is no lasting victory, and such selfless people can ever am for God or for the last and innocent of mankind.

It is a justifi- cation, as is a meritorious attraction which qualifies with the new productions of his kind, re- dless of make- and other nts. The writer knits it off to tend the loop uses where owes of this kind hold forth, and it is a signification to state that the matters of many the theaters laying musical com- ponies be enlightened, as Tony Langston SIR Tony Langston to the Grand during this great journey and into a peck at the great offering which is to be held for an extra week this theater, by popular demand, 27 June. We are attracted by which mun- tions conured, but road shows with "My People" making up the cast are not only not conured but patrons of the剧院 in the theatre, both white and Race theater goes the country over. Vaudeville, no matter of how high grade, has grown much biodoids are replacing it in many the- subboids which carry a little plot of whole lot of entertainment, which is considered too unimportant magers and patrons to call for any cut an attendance. Here we have theatrical workers of this sort, and to the great credit of the organization, it can- tately be said every performer is an mager, but all thoroughly qualified for the big doings of which they are a part. For the fact that they will be held in expensive expense, the patrons of the Grand will be pleased and it is to be hoped that the oper- tunity to see "My People" as pres- sioned by the Smarter Set will be taken advantage of by all who can possibly affend. The Avenue the oil at the Avenue for the first half of the week starts off with a clever Scotchman, who opens with a fine demonstration of the box-pipes and a whimsical trick; nicely, he has other things out of the ordinary, and does a little juggling, balancing and dancing in a more than pleasing way. Two Paynes, a boy and a girl, play with a piano and violin; they are very clever and have a routine of native dances which go blaz. Cleaks and Sults is a sketch which shows the character of a certain class of wholesale merchant; a comical manner; this act has a mix at the finish which is a chotch, a skirt far above the top. BARA IN DU BARRY Jean du Barry was already married, so he was out of the question. He had been married to the Countess du Barry, who was eligible. The marriage was duly solemnized. Guillaume returned to Toulouse, richer than before, and continued her swair until counters at the King's Palace in Versailles. This happened about 1758. The wily man continued her swair until died in 1774. Then she sank into immediate oblivion, and took up her residence in the beautiful Villa Lacombe in Toulouse. Her condemnation of the French revolution broke, in 1789 the Countess was denounced by her former favorites. Her condemnation was followed by a screaming Madame du Barry was taken in an open cart from the concierge to the Place de la Guillotine, with the promise for life on her lips she was beheaded. THE LIGHT WITHIN Oka Petrova, one of nishimada's greatest stars, plays the principal part in the movie which comes to the States Theater for the one day, Sunday, Feb. 24. The wonderful Polish actress is surrounded by a great cast and the production is screened. It is the romance of a beautiful girl's escape from a mistaken marriage and the story carries a great moral lesson. The novel, a thriller, portrays a character; she in order to get money to complete her father's scientific reseARCHS, marries a wealthy man she loves, only to become a barrier between them. The husband leaves for a long sea trip, is reported lost, but turns up at home 1st in time to see her husband. She is no longer a modern medical discovery but a form of a soprane taken from a rare turtle. Some of the strongest scenes in the play occur in a medical laboratories, not for the life of the hero occurs. I don't miss seeing this gripping play. Lulu Coates & Co. Lulu Cates and her Crackerjacks, featured with Sliding Billy Watson's wonder show, is playing a week stand at the Macy's flagship store. The set is going over in great style and never fails to elicit the audiences with its speed and spectacle. And above the ordinary, the chorus using a handsome and efficient one and the principals all that could be asked are the ones they have used in Elizabeth Puxe, Hazel Scolson, Macy Cates, and made performers of class. Sliding Billy is the usual big hit, and it seems as if his popularity grows as time goes by. The show features "Tafe de Graff" and "A Merry Mixup," both being a big scream from start to finish. Miss Cates' act is presented in a tight and tight rigge and her fast working folks have no trouble in bringing the folks out front around to the proper way of week, Gayety Theater, Detroit, Mich. although the pair of them had never before met, the old love at first sight takes place, and it all ends satisfactorily to the concern except the Heir. Thus the story is introduced during the story's condition, which is well acted; Miss Rus plays the part of the girl in a pleasing manor; Francis Smith handles the male part of the story; and as the Jaw is convincing and objective, It is a seashore novelty and chase.

The $40,000 auditorium, the largest and finest in the onsite camp, of the $67th infantry, was dedicated with impressive ceremonies Friday, Feb. 15, at Camp Upton, Yaphank, L. I. The auditorium is the only building in the camp to be constructed from funds subscribed partly by the men themselves, $11,400 having been contributed by the camp. A greater part of the balance was contributed by Race friends of the men in and around Greater New York. This regiment of Race men, a part of the 22d Division, N. A., commanded by their beloved Col. James A. Moss, by their act, show a remarkable outward manifestation of the spirit of the outfit. Col. Moss' success as an officer of Race troops long ago won him country-wide recognition. These soldiers, among the last to come to the camp, have made rapid progress from many visiting officers, who have frankly expressed wonderment at their ability and neatness. It had been planned to have Col. Theoreme Roosevelt guest of honor at the collection but owing to his recent serious illness, he was unable to attend. Many prominent Race men, as well as many prominent white men were present. Boostra Entertain Drafters St. Louis, Mo.

Corporal Beverly Bronseaux, company clerk in the 12th battalion, has this work in charge and is making admirable progress with his classes. Corporal Bronseaux is a linguist of no mean ability and a survivor of the late Mexican revolution. Private John Arnold, 47th company, and John Merriweather, 317th engineer have presented their original sketch at the forerunner's line with their customary success. Autopsies have been made to secure this team for work outside the cantonment. Followers of the mainly art were treated to a real sportfest at the boxing program featured by army "V" 75. After several lively preliminaries, Verner Doulhit, 15th training battalion battalion, battled buttinion, elapsed nitts. The light was fast from the first to the last gong. The general opinion was that Sergt. Doulhit outpointed his opponent, but in order that no doubt might remain an effort is being made to arrange a bout over a longer route. Fast basket ball team, made up of talent, will try their mettle on Xenia and Dayton lives during the coming week. Of their success we are confident. A number of Chicago boys have been transferred here from Camp Grant, to join the signal corps. The field signal battalion is a part of the 32d division, excellent opportunities for Race boys, who have joined the corps are Sergis, Charles S. Smith, Jr. Richard Walker and Frank L. Gale; Edgar White and Joseph Guynes. Smith has been making good as a drillmaster during the absence of Top Sergi. Homer B. Robbins and Frank L. Gale, both in the orderly room during the preparation organization. Frank Gale is mess sergeant of Company C and with the cooperation of Chef Wm. L. Freeman of Richmond, Va., is managing to keep 180 stomachs filled. Freeman, a former may cook, certainly puts it on. Gale will be joining the new life he is longing for a springtime glimpse of "38th and State." Citizens Confer With Officials of the American Federation of Labor Washington, D.

Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war, who is assisting Secretary Newton D.

Y., a resolution to throw down the bards which had been for years serving as an almost insurmountable barrier to Colored wage-earners who desired to enlist in the 's, and enjoy the benefits of Soldiers Entertained DER NEWS SERVICE ockford, Ill., Feb. 22 Smith of the Y.

Wilberforce Williams, journeyed to Camp Grant Tuesday morning, Feb. 19, in a special parlor car to present the regimental flag given by the Chicago Defender to the 355th Infantry. Unmindful of the muddy pathways and seemingly impossible roadways, these men wended their way like gallant soldiers, surmounting a parapet to the portals of the camp, where they were received by Capt. Adam E. Patterson and Capt. Boutte, officers of the 355th Infantry. The flag was presented to the officers and privates of the infantry by simple speeches featured the occasion. Editor Abbott was complimented for "setting the pace" in a new field, in that this is the first time in the history of the country that a newspaper has presented an infantry with a regimental flag.

Feb. 22.—At an exciting game played between the Poincelains and Breakers the former won after a hard-fought contest in the tenth inning, with a score of 4 to 2, thus giving the Poincelains three games to the Breakers' two. The hits for the Poincelains were lost in the first two innings. In the second inning, the Poincelains being hit with a pitched ball, Williams, the shortstort, made a beautiful stop of Wiley's liner. The following inning Demoss walked and on Hill's sacrifice Gans overthrew the third and Demoss scored. Cockrell had Padreone in the seventh inning. In the seventh Lundy's hit brought Thomas Home, and Cockrell's hard hit brought Lundy across with the second run of the inning. In the eighth inning Gans error, a backfiring Hills two-bagger to center sent two runs across the plate, helping the score. Williams goes in to pitch in the eighth and retries the side. Whitworth takes the place of Williams in this inning, but nothing of importance occurs. The game then goes to the tenth in- MAKES BOXING GAME GO BIG AT COLUMBUS, N.M. Marshall University's middleweight clubs and manager of Speedball Hayden, who is both the weiterweight and middleweight champion boxer of the army. Davis, whom many folks thought was white, runs his boxing ring in the city. He makes matches for promising ringsters, and when they show real A. B. Henry, Davis class, they get chances with good men from other polls. Davies recently imported Hock Bones from Memphis, Tenn., for a February 22 date, and was named the national golf champion. Davies says that Hayden should prove a winner. Hayden and Bones are to go on in a scheduled 16-rounder. ALPHA LOSES BILLIARD MATCH New York, N.

PHIL BROWN ACCIDENTALLY HOSTED ON FILM SHOOTS SELF IN FOOT Hopkinsville, Ky. Feb. 14. Full H. Brown, Brentwood, N.J. News, leader in Kentucky politics, met with a painful accident Friday, when he was moving a revolver from the table of his residence, which fell from his hand, causing it to discharge, resulting in the bullet passing entirely through his foot. It was noticed that when he came from St. Louis, Mo., he seemed to brood over the fact that he Louisville, Ky., for chairman of the Republican national committee. The question is being asked. Was the shooting a result of "Phil's", failure to land his man chairman? We Will Not and Must Not Stand for Any Color Line in Athletics Romeo Dougherty's Fight on Will Madden Uncalled For and Totally Unwarranted By Mister Fan When the Incorporators visited Chicago and were victorious over the Washash Y. M. C. A. I, for one, gave a fair and impartial account of the game. The side that won got the credit, and, further, I told the public that the objection the Chicago boys had for not wanting to play against Madden because of his playing a half-breed Indian and a white man was all unlucky and should not have marred the game—the bringing up of this color question. An Unfair Attack Down in old New York, where the bright lights glisten on Broadway and the people think they know it all at times, some funny, things go on. Recently Romeo L. Dougherty, sporting writer and dramatic critic, took Will Anthony Madden to task for playing a white lad. This was not only unfair to the Race, but puts Dougherty in a bad light, as many up to this time had given him the credit of being one of the best sport writers in the country. He is the best and the other. A question comes to my mind: Is Dougherty sore because Madden cannot or does not see fit to give him the amount of advertising he thinks he should get? If so, he should not make a proverbial ass out of himself for jumping on Madden through his columns, leading the people along in a false impression, but should, as long as he has this amount of space to throw away, come out and take Madden to task as a man and state his grievance. But in doing what Dougherty has done, and should we coincide with ping, when Williams hits for a base and Barber's hit brings Williams home. The score: Potonians... AB. II. H. PO. A. E.

J. Feb. 22—Philadelphia is due for its annual awakening. Old Slow Town is arousing itself once more to witness the seething combat on its basketball court. Lincoln University, the cream of collegiate basketball, and the crack Vandal A. C. of Philadelphia, clash at musical Pund hall. Philadelphia now yields night, and the game is attracting the attention of the entire East. The game itself is bound to be a thriller. The Lincoln five recently defeated the Vandals at Atlantic and the seashore boys have promised to average that defeat and with a strengthened lineup expect to win. The Lincoln boys always play their best against the Blue and White machine and are bringing a large following from Lincoln to give them encouragement. The Lincoln alumni in Philadelphia are numerous and the Vandal A. C. is running a special train up from the shore, bringing about 200 roofters. The game promises to be a social as well as sporting classic to the Quaker City. The results of the game will be reported for the Defender. WHITE MAN BRUTALLY ASSAULTS FRANK FOSTER Brunswick, Ga., Feb. 22—Frank Foster, who has a good education and was working in a drug store for a white cracker, bearing the insults of a South African outlaw, was struck on the forehead with a bottle of Creoline, a mixture of carbonic acid and creosote, by Aubry Rozier (white), druggist. Foster takes an hour off for dinner every day. The low-browed white man wanted to get back at Foster and he accused Foster of staying a minute after the hour, where he had a drink, whereas the white skunk said, "You mean to call me a liar." Then the white man, who originated from the "Cracker Doodle-blower" element, struck him a vicious blow with the bottle containing the poison, blinding both eyes of the young man, who was clerk. Foster is familiarity with women of our race has been a source of comment from both classes of respectable citizens. It is the duty of the proprietor of the drug store to rid himself of this polecat's presence. POLICEMAN ON TRIAL Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 22.—William J. Hackett, a policeman of the 16th and Snyder, Avenue Station, was accused of having falsified his civil service papers. In reply to the question, "Have you ever been convicted?" Hackett said he had not. The police records show he was convicted before Judge Carrion sentenced to one year in the prison and the battery. Hackett was appointed to the police force Jan. 22nd. The police commissioners are considering the matter as Hackett makes an efficient officer. QUARREL CAUSES SHOOTING Bellevue, Ky., 125th al., civil lawyer heated argument. Peter Dixon drew his revolver and fired on Gus White, 1300 Harrison street, the bullet lodging in his shoulder. Both men were employed as section hands for the I. C. railroad. Dixon is still at large. him, Fritz Pollard, Roberson of Rutgers, Williams at Brown, Sol and Ben Butler, Howard Drew, Roy Morse, White and a bunch of others would never be permitted to run in white meets. Theateur, Athletic Union as a whole has been more than fair to our Race, and the numerous athletics has done more to open the existing voyage between the white man and us than any other thing in the world. Chicago university is far different today than it was years ago. Why. JOHN H. BURKE Billy Madden Binga Dismond not only went there and won laurels for his school, but, as the Daily Maroon would say, "he gave them a different conception of a Colored man." And there we have it. The door wide open to us in the schools and the universities, the door being come the world, and now comes an educator who we draw the color line on the white people and have strictly a Jim Crow team of basket ball players. A sporting writer should not be so narrow that because the paper he is connected with cannot get a certain amount of advertising out of a man, to condemn him and his policy of broadness; nor should they or he bellittle himself with such assertions that are only a disgrace to the Race, but prove that he is slavery on his brow and the "yas, massa," each race should be to life. sound out to like up from the alum stand for such pot; that are for the p truck as you are unnoticed.

Hall looked upon the meeting as a means of breaking down the labour theory that as soon as the labouring was convinced that we were not natural born strike-breakers, but made so by conditions, most of the prejudice would be removed by by side, then we would be relieved of one of the greatest obstacles placed in the path of his industrial opportunity, because he would no longer hide his prejudices, being unions not working with us. The National Association of the Urban League only taken steps to perfect a working place, but not to be taken into all unions. Not only does the agreement affect many of the increased wages, but a clause against taking part in the union either in wages or opportunity to work. "BILL" Berry's orchestra played.

Mob Locates Victim Mellheron was located in a little town with few miles from this city, near the river. He sleezed, beaten, cut and shot when the cannibals swamped down upon him. Telephone messages announced the death of the man, and the thousand persons gathered in town to await the arrival of the victim and the train finally arrived, and Mellheron hurried from the steps of the coach into the throng, and was struck with knives by the train. The citizen jumped to the station platform and asked the crowd to keep order, and placed with them to burn the body, and with them to commit the crime. His wish was granted. The captors carried their prisoner to the spot, and forced him to lay his hand on the ground, and ordered the crowd to the ground, and ordered the crowd to the ground, and ordered the crowd to look upon the victim. Women with babies in arms, school children, ministers and city officials formed the spectacle, and were ordered not to do violence, to McIlhenny in his face. With one eye punched out, an arm hanging by threads of flesh and half of his left cheek cut off, he preyed on a soma specacle to gaze upon. A former shinman was in the line, and as she passed McIlhenny she kicked him in the side, spit in his face and cried hysterically, then grasped a platter to kill him. Shouts then grasped a platter to kill him. "Burn the nigger, burn him alive." at 1:30 o'clock in the morning, Mellheron was chained to a hickory tree and the funeral pyre was made ready, and the funeral pear was placed on a hand to hasten the work. Several men went to hardy in their teens carried wood for the pyre. As Mellheron stood chained to the fire, he awakened texture to these cowards, women, men and children posted over the burning and chewed wood. During the carnival of those barbarians a lyncher exclaimed in loud tones: "burn every nigger in town; they were the worst men in how?" Following this suggestion all the members of Mellheron's Race were placed near the pyre and told that if they were to be caught any manner they would suffer a similar fate. They were ordered to remain at Mellheron's fire was burned to a crisp. Members of Mob Known Among the first men to size Mehlberon and lead him to the funeral were S. Aletheus, Jim Bryant, Marvel Mayer, and John W. Lynch, who was shot and killed and his body thrown into his church, where his death at the hands of a crowd of well-wishers allowed to walk about town and have been heard to relate how they burned Mehlberon.

Bentley on the subject of these two honored American leaders. The Bentley brought an entirely new line of civic addresses on these two node Americans. His remarks started with an anecdote on the like environments that produced these two true sons of the American Revolution, the doctor, in speaking of democracy. Frederick Douglass, said: "The highest function of a great name is to serve as a perpetual source of inspiration to young who are to come after him." The doctor gave most honor to these characters who most truly reflected the aims, ideals and like experiences partner and popular to that class. Then, it's the one commanding Dick Douglass's our Race of America. To the struring and aspiring south of the land Mr. Douglass is at once an inscription of their homes and the justification of their In concluding his remarks on Frederick Toussaint, the speaker emulated the face that this hero championed the face that this hero championed in the true sense—liberty of all sons and daughters of men. The tribute gift to Abraham Lincoln once of his such a nature is the one made to Daughters of Illinois, enclosed labeled "American," who seeks ever to keep his fingers when the pulse of the classes. And the doctor exhibited that the statement this beloved statesman once made that the man is good neighbor without his neighbor's consent. Preceding the address Miss With尔明ima Tivis rendered a piano solo and complemented after Dr. Beetley and Mrs. James Folt favored the audience with one of her own piano compositions. Miss Holt's number was liberally applauded, since it showed her marked ability as an artist of note. President Warkins extended a coronal invitation to all present to visit the club rooms. ONLY ONE NECESSITY CLUB The Necessity Club, a well known women's organization, has climaxed its efforts by receiving a "charter" incorporating that body under the fraternal organization, known as the Society, being composed of society portraits whose noble aspirations and works have been the pulse of the vicinity.

Jefferson of the firm of Frederick J. Chaffert & Co. 69 West Washington street, has set the pace for south side real estate dealers, for it will be the largest acquisition for the $30,000 purchase it was brought to close. Mr. Jefferson's efforts have been untiring in the attempt to bring about this sale and the officials of the K. of Commerce, the possibility of the idea to take advantage of the opportunity, as offered them and the sale was finally consummated through the bankruptcy manner of Mr. Jefferson. The Knights of Pythias to oversee a housing development at an approximate cost of $300,000 in the near future. The building will be of a modern type, containing stores and offices as snailous and handsome centers for the accommodation of the lodge. This sale necessarily attracts considerable attention because it shows the State street south of 50th street and tends to emphasize the predicacy of close observers that this district will be home to a large number of the progressive population of Chicago. It will be remembered that only five or six years ago were vacant fruit gardens, and the event begging at $100 per foot, and this enormous increase has had its influence upon the values of the bloody to the modern stores and offices in the 50th NEW HOSPITAL FOR DETROIT A new hospital, fully equipped with private rooms, wards, a thoroughly modern operating room, laboratory, and kitchen, will be installed in attendance, which will rank among the foremost institutions in the country, will open its doors to Detroit's largest hospitals about time, under the direction and supervision of Dr. D. C. Northerness. Detroit's rare population, which has allowed the to many opportunities have served the need of a Hospital and Nurses Training school, and such needs will be fulfilled by the handling of maternity cases will be one of the features of the institution. The Mercy Hospital and Nurses Training school will be an incorporated institution. THE HOME OF THE HOLY GHOSTS Mercy Hospital Dr. Northerson, formerly intern at Provident hospital, Chicago, IL, and a graduate of the University of Illinois, is now the chair of the class of 1996, is introducing this must institution to Detroit. Dr. Northerson practiced medicine and surgery in Montgomery, Ala. from 1997 to 1975, from which source he is very highly regarded. He is currently the associate sanitarium at Montgomery. When he removed to Detroit in 1917, a sanitarium and maternity hospital was established which under his direction has been so highly successful that it has become the largest sanitarium in quartets with increased facilities. The new hospital, which will be known as the Merry Hospital and Nurses Training school, will absorb the former sanitarium conducted by Dr. Northerson and the maternity which has been needed for a number of years namely the training of late race workers. Dr. Northcross Dr. Northcross is able assisted in his work by his wife, Dr. Daisy L. Northcross, southwest of Bennett Medical College, Chicago, Ill., class of 1913.

With this purchase by the K. of P. lodge at 37th place at a price of over $10,000, the present of another big deal is soon, one can readily see what is likely to take place in the value of property lying adjacent. The greatest rate of increase in population north of 25th street is predicted that still greater values are in store for this locality in the near future, as there are at present only a few hundred homes between 35th and 39th streets, while the condition continues to flow into the vicinity at a surprising rate. The proposed plans for the new street are based on the general assemblage room beautiful decorated artistic band paintings and marble statues, and a central heating plant; these, together with individual lodge will be added features to the edifice. The new home of the K. of P. comes as a blessing to the lodge members, who want of ideal accommodations. Doorways, dirty floors and unclean hallways have been objects of discontent, to the men who sought to make the fraternal or religious absolute sanitation is to be healed and every comfort is assured from all angles.

SCOTT, FOR MAJ. JACKSON, REPLIES TO DE PRIEST CHARGES Hon. R. S. Abbott, Editor of the Chicago Defender. Dear Sir, I would like to have space in your valuable paper to reply to a malicious falsely made by ex-Alderman Oscar De Priest at a meeting held interest last Thursday, Feb. 14, at the University of Chicago to establish. At this meeting he told his heavens that Mine. Scott was employed by the organization to work in the interest of Mr. Robert R. Jackman. He is charged with branding this as a malicious falsely made. I am not on Ma. Jackson's payroll, neither am I on the pay roll of the organization. I supported Mr. De Priest, the ex-Alderman, three years ago with his divorce. He has brought the Race into disjure and disgrace and has the broken face audacity to bring additional disgrace upon us by running for a elderman before he extricates himself from the unanticipated dilemma in which he is placed. I decided early in the campaign to support the candidacy of Maij. R. R. Jackson for alderman. As a Race Woman, we had not prompted in this campaign by gain. I am supporting Maij. R. R. Jackson without pay for the same reason I supported the alderman three years ago. We had not papered to him this multi-page calendar in the teach of os. Alderman De Prentice; he must not think, as it is alleged by our state's attorney, "this race and his people." The self-respecting race woman are doing the same thing. I am supporting Maij. Robert E. Jackson to help resemble the Race from the disheath of the alderman has brought upon us, and it can be said that he must make a fight and a war on the women of our Race and resort to vilification and abuse because we refuse our vote and support to give our people the moral practices while representing our people in the city council as our first alderman from the Second ward.

Jackson It might not be without interest to have a business, or to pay money. It will be remembered that poses in the case of De Priest showed that he had squeezed practically every room of his business except a few people whom he could control; that he bled these people; that he was not told people in the street that they should not be allowed to do anything in the street; and that his idea was to keep the business from certain business to get something, but to confine it to so few that he himself reap the vast benefits of the project. It is said by some that nothing was proved on him; that is to say, that they knew of any intelligence who knew conditions about Thirty-fifth and State war, but not about the syndrome out there, or the sake of argument, argue that De Priest did not form this combination, but, in the case of a testimony to the witness stand he got in the head of this combination. Why was the representative of the state deceived by the deceency, its virtue, its homes, its aspirations and its hopes—taking $500 if he was not being implicate if he was not being implicate in any way? Do men give away $500 because they love someone or not any benefit thereform? How many men in the Second ward, either in or out, up and give them $500 because of the color of their eyes or the size of their feet? This extraordinary thing never happened again. This is De Priest's own admission under oath. The Supporters of Do Priest Disclosed These supporters of Do Priest who are not members of the Indicted political trickster represent the Race in the council are made up of a motley array of failures and sorely disappointed people. It is interesting to note that one of the leading supporters is a man re- named Mr. for stealing money from his clients. There are a number of other persons on Do Pret's pay roll whose significance is worth spending printer's ink on them. Following these are a number of false civic leaders and people whose records are worth spending printer's ink on them to impress themselves on the public, and to whom men and women of voting may pay less pay no attention. Besides the large number of nonvoters who have been organized into a "poll club." They have a great crowd—and they set up a great yell and try to impress people that this man has a great following, and people cannot even vote on primary day. De Priest as Bull-Dozer General some of De Priest's followers say, "Oh my, the aggressiveness has been confined greatly to shooting off his mouth walk- ing, to strenuous attack, to abusing weak people and making himself generally obnoxious. In the council chambers, we have people in the court career there, he is said to have leaders out to fight and to have talked about knocking down and hitting people. In the supposed intelligent men is no place for the exhibition of loud-mouthed countermeasures, the kind of man who could be involved for the Race in the council would be a man that would stand firmly for his views, to get the favour and good will of his associates. It is a well known fact in all deliberative bodies—congress, legislation—that men, even white men, gain nothing by threatening to knock down a building, so we said before we use diplomacy, get good will of the people, and in that way they can get the measures passed and desire, and so aid their constituents. It is allured that the present representative, Mr. Anderson, is not suffers GETS EVERYTHING THAT THE GOES AFTER, for the Race, because he is a gentleman, is intelligent, has a kind of wisdom, is a fellow aldermen. This is the kind of man Jackson is also, and this is the only kind of man that can be of any kind of wisdom, or black, in the city council. If Do Priest were sort back to the city council no one would want to have any trouble him; he would be a political leo. De Priest, in Council-For His Pocket the Priest, or the 'coptinguled' gentleman Priest, or the 'coptinguled' gentleman himself (as one of his supporters aptly called him), to show a single ordinance in which he did not inadvertently put in there, or to show a single thing that he did which would single ordinance to which he can point a sand an aid to the Colored people of Chili, or any power can do to a job for his followers. De Priest was in office and we defy anybody to point to a single man in office now that De Priest is. We defy anybody to point to a single man in his whole career, except a couple of relatives of his. When he is in his whole career,—some of them—had spent weeks and weeks helping him to this office, and single job, Wright, Carey, Anderson, Cotter, Broomfield and Ellis all went against his influence and AGAINST HIS WILL De Priest as Beggar of Sympathy The Priest says that the white folks after him, and therefore the Colored people, were also in danger of a dangerous demopoe. It is too well known to he told men in Chicago have rulled time and again to the Colored people, and put them in office. People have had a county commission now and then in Cook county, and in each and every instance he was elective to the legislature, largely by vote votes. When the late imated John C. Buckner ran for the legislature, he was elected to the legislature largely by vote votes. When the late imated John C. Buckner ran for the legislature, he was elected to the legislature largely by vote votes to every Colored vote that was cast for him. And it has been taken as we ask again, Why that in the past the numberless officers we have had in the legislature and in various places, has been indicted, if the white people were so bitter after Negroes? All of the numberless officers who have sided in building schools, hospitals, and Y. M. C. A.'s not only here, but elsewhere. Chicago No Place to Stir Race Conflict The race does not get even in Chicago in Chicagoland, but it is entitled to, yet it gets many things that it does not get elsewhere. Reality, it is not that the race is the Colored men, and it is no place for a demagogue, who for self-purification is seeking to thrust himself into the race. The fires of Race hatred. The people can get nothing from stirring up prejudice, from the organization; that every man ought to be free to vote as he chooses. And yet we have certain knowledge that we want to put Jackson's pictures in shows and who were not supporting him. This is a fine idea of freedom. Do Priest is Fearless Double-Crosser We have called attention to De Priest We want to be a leader. We want everything for De Priest. When the appropriation was passed to De Priest, he wanted freedom at the coliseum. De Priest was in his heart opposed to it, and he had to be a leader. He had his friend, Senator Ettleson, out of the legislature because they voted against it. He did not even speak to Senator Ettleson on account of it, and this was because some patronage was not pushing and not helping hands on it. He has, during the campaign, men who are our candidates for United States senator. De Priest Falls Through Conceit and Ignorance The most fortunate thing that ever happened to the Second ward was the man who many people warned against it, and fought against it especially Dr. George H. Hain, its importance was so apparent and that many people predicted the failure that he was. No man of his limited place of power and leadership; but many people thought he was honest, but the record shows that he certificate of election before he himself over to all the evil elements in the community. He not only stood up to the attack, but the record shows that every vicious saloon that got in difficulties because of him to help them, and he had a string of them reaching all the way from on the north to the river on the south. To put this in case in since again would be a disgrace to the Second ward. The property holdings now in borrowing money on their property, and their property will lose interest with his record. The enemies of the Race are hoping that his re-reflect, while the friends of the Race are hoping that his class of people would put a man of this caller back in power. It may be that he leaves office again, because, if he were convinced in his next trial, he would have to spend a term in the pentemtery, and the city council, in order to of itself, would have given him out of office, and the Race was recover from the stigma placed upon it by this ungodly man.

Knowing this thoroughly, it is useless ne and words over an enemy's prattle. being human, we take up the different challenges and in out to the best of our ability, in the hope that the public, after hearing both sides, will render its den accordance with the facts presented. In regard to persistent rumor that the policy of the war department is give us no line officers, for the reason that "equal ranking officers would object to associating with them" and "our men are not qualified, so could not command the respect nor get the service out of the men under them" we would say: The first requisite of an officer is to have brains, and the ability to use them. Are we to understand that the white man has a monopoly on brains? He must have experience—experience that is gained only by starting at the bottom and working to the top. Has the black soldier in the regular army, even after spending his life in the service, the opportunity of assuming the high offices, or does the white man by sheer force keep the plums for himself? Doesn't the money of the black and the white man alike go to support the naval and military schools at Annapolis and West Point, and doesn't the white man almost alone reap the benefits? Was there a better commanded National Guard Regiment than the Eighth Illinois under Col. John R. Marshall or under Col. Franklin A. Denison? Was a white face needed to keep dicipline? If the question of bravery arises, who went over the top at San Juan hill and every other place where war-time danger lurked? The powers at Washington have said nothing as to their plans concerning giving us line officers, but we still have faith that they will accord us justice; and so, sitting in the saddle, we have adopted the watchful-waiting policy. But in the newspapers that are spreading this story of inefficiency and presenting this bugle, social equality, we feel the sentiment censor should bridle their efforts to bring dissent between the races, especially at this time, when unity is essential to win the war. We want, and are entitled to position in the military service our ability demands. News better than we what we are capable of doing? is measured by results; results follow opportunities. e be given the opportunities that we may show results? Illiteracy Here and There THE AVERAGE AMERICAN CITIZEN is laboring under the impression that we have a monopoly on ignorance. This piece of information has been handed down to him as an heirloom from his forefathers, and each succeeding generation swallows it without question. It is so much easier to stay in a rut than to dig your way out—so easy to forget that the moranus of yesterday is the wise man of today, so easy to get that, perhaps, the dullest boy or girl in your class of sol, when matured, has outstripped the star student in his on this world's goods. The past is dead; we live in the nt. The one who fails to keep up with the procession is a parasite; the quicker he shuffles off this mortal coil utter of the world will be, without going back to the days when black men reprede the highest type of civilization—a civilization the best morites hold has not been equaled up to date; when the white race were but sorfs and pigmies beside them—we find some startling information concerning illiteracy in this and in foreign countries in a recent pamphlet published by the United States Bureau of Census, which should carry some weight with even the most prejudiced, ignorant white person in this democratic (?) land. Figures are stubborn things to get around, so we will just mention that in the United States the percentage of illiteracy is 7.7 for the total population (over 10 years of age), and that includes US. In Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom the percentage of illiteracy is lower than that for the native WHITE population of our country. But in other European countries the percentage of illiteracy is higher; for instance, in Bulgaria it is 65 per cent; in Greece, 70; in Hungary, 33; in Italy, 37; in Portugal, 69; in Roumania, 61; in Russia, 69; in Servia, 79; and in Spain 58. By comparison, when we place our illiteracy as found in the rural South, 30.4, we do not suffer to any great extent. And when it is taken into consideration the people in the countries mentioned were free while we were held in ignorance, the figures are the more startling. The progress we have made in fifty years has astonished the world, or rather the outside world. Those within our own shores are too blindly prejudiced to see anything in us but the servants of former years, and for fear we will climb to their landing they make it their business to place as many stumbling blocks in our way as possible. But, as every obstacle overcome makes the next one easier, we are optimistic enough to believe we can, in the next ten years, reduce our illiteracy fully 50 per cent. Give us but another quarter of a century and we will stand, in seventy-five years, on the same foundation it took the white race several centuries to reach. Brains, undoubtedly rule the world. If with a percentage from one-half to two-thirds lower in illiteracy than is credited to some of the above-named nations, we are not capable of helping to make the laws that govern us, why does not the superior (?) race attempt to manage the affairs of these backward people who keep the machinery going in other lands with 79 out of 100, inhabitants ignorant? Isn't there something radically wrong with the American people when they are blinded to lesser fact that they, too, must stay in the gutter if they won't be there? Here and there can be found those who see aids writing on the wall and have sent out the for our illiteracy is too well known to repeat here. The harm is done—we can but do our best to remedy it. It is a long lane that has no turn, and, as James Whitchbore Riley would say: "The goblins 'll get some of these white people if they don't watch out." for the Race Crisis We are passing through the throes of a double tragedy, the crisis of our country in war and the crisis of the Second Ward. The first great cause of this world war is the rise of Europe toward the darker races in Africa and the islands of the sea. The United States is a party to unrest prejudice. It shared in the financial profits of the slave trade and the institution of slavery. Our nation, therefore, was this most dominant coursing vortex of this most dominant country, though 3,000 miles across the sea. This war is a retribution brought upon Europe as a result of ravaging plains. This war stopped foreign immigration. Northern industries must secure their future in the new fields of our Races South. Our Race has already lost its political and social rights in southern states. The movement to race the North by the hundred miles is the question: WILL THE NORTH ADOPT THE RACE ATTITUDE OF THE SOUTH? Northern opinion is in process of formation. We are in Race, therefore, is on trial in Chicago and the nation as never before. Unless we put forward our best men in this and future campaigns our cause is lost and the fate of our Race South. In addition to the national Race crisis there is a special crisis of our Race in the Second World War, when we are so conducting himself as alderman that he was indicted nine (0) times for violations of the law. He was also mentored by Defriest presenting himself for restoration to alderminal office under eight (8) inns and was everywhere, its success, sand (45,000) dollar bonds. The very announcement of such a candidacy is a political menace in the country that our Race is not really capable of self-government in the only important country in the world. Race is in control. Hostile steps would immediately be taken to break up our power and to re-organize us, as considered a menace to community. The clean record of Major Jackson insures his nomination and election, for as our race has made good in every past crisis, and for as our race has defeated this Major Jackson defeated at Springfield three anti-intermarriage bills introduced for the leisure of our people; he defeated the third bill, which sought to deprive our Race of certain positions on the railroad; he placed the tuberculosis civil service, so that another Dr. Griles case could not occur; he amended the civil service law of the state so that the highest number of people instead of the three highest, and thus destroyed the operation in Illinois of Race prejudice and discrimination in civil service appropriating fifty thousand ($50,000) dollars to exhibit for the information of the country at the progress of our Race in fifty years of our Race, and anti-photopoll bill which makes impossible in Illinois the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation." The true picture which holds our Race in form and content of other races. By this matchless and unparalleled record of Race and Jackson has made himself the supreme moment of our crisis the tried and trusted leader of the our. A voter for Jackson is a vote for the redemption of the Second Ward from the criminal stigma which DePriest's indictment has placed on him. A voter for Jackson is a vote for the security and protection of our status of equality as a people among the citizens of the nation. The triumph of Jackson is a victory for our Race in its fight for just and good government in the nation. The Race expects every voter to do his best. LIEUT. BROWN DEAD Mobile, Ala., Feb. 22—Lieut. Carter N. Brown, one of the recently commissioned young men, a former Mobile boy, succeeded to pneumonia at Fort Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa, on Tuesday, Feb. 5. He was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Carter N. Brown of the city and beloved by all who knew him. He is survived by his parents, three brothers and one sister. He was buried with military honors on Tuesday. His military his escorted to the National military museum, and soldiers from Fort Morgan, Lleut-Shaw, a fellow officer, accompanied the body from Fort Dodge. There were many beautiful floral designs among the soldiers in his camp, and a floral Red Cross from the Rhett Goods Auxiliary to the Red Cross. The following gentlemen acted as pail bearers, Allen Tatum, John B. B. Davis, Chas. Peters, Jr. W, B. Shaw of Atlanta, Dr. A. W. Thompson. Lived to Pass the Century Mark CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS SERVICE Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 22. —Mrs. Cherry Anderson, native of Louisiana, died at the home of the Little Sisters of 108. She was given the name of "Cherry" years ago because of her constant bright and cheerful spirit. She had been an inmate of the home for many years, and she often referred to the happenings of a hundred years ago, and was probably correct in her claim that she passed grandchildren who are mature men and women. MARRIED IN AUGUST. NEWS JUST LEAKS OUT Recent announcement has been made of the marriage of Jasper T. Duncan and Ames Bryan in Norfolk, Va.-Aug. 30. Ames is assistent state superintendent of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., of Richmond, Va., hills from Tennessee, as does his young bride—the two have been married terminated in their marriage at Fisk university in Nashville, from which school both were graduated with honors. Mrs. Duncan, after teaching the two, joined her husband in Norfolk, now joins her husband in Richmond where they will reside. Come Now, Lord Gompers! Come Now, Lord Gompers! It was good news and better that informed us of the advent of Doctor Moton into the sanctum of Samuel Gompers, the labor tyrant of the United States. Gompers has long been the one lion whose den the Race has not dared. Doctor Moton, filled with grace and wisdom, and full to heaping measure of slavity and human kindness, led a responsible delegation from a respectable organization to treat with the czar upon matters affecting Negro laborers. After almost fifty years of bitter opposition to Race laborers, skilled and unskilled, the American Federation capitulates to the wisdom of unionizing them. The increasing numbers and importance of Race workers in the North, in the free states as against the slave states—as slavish now as when Jeff Davis cussed the moon and turned his back on the sun—force the white labor trust to throw down the bars and seek still greater power through embracing those heretofore spurned and rejected on no other ground than that they belonged to the race of Booker T. Washington and not to that of Robert E. Lee. We claim no confidential relation with Mr. Gompers, the body Doctor Moton speaks for, or the American Federation of Labor. But we claim closest relation with the Race for which Doctor Moton's committee speaks, and to which in a moment of distress Mr. Gompers now eagerly turns. IT IS FOR THAT RACE, AND NO OTHER ORGANIZATION, THAT THE DEFENDER SPEAKS. To the manner born, true in every test, loyal through three hundred years of uninterrupted residence upon this continent, and claiming the brawniest arm that ever raised an implement of labor, the American Negro deserves the protection which organization secures, and merits such consideration with which Lord Gompers may now stoop to flatter him. If the union labor badge marks the American white man freeman, that is the very badge to be worn by the Race upon whose labor such civilization as the semi-barbarous South may boast was built and upon which it is now maintained! That much we all of us are in agreement upon. The parting of the ways now comes, if it comes at all—a consummation devoutly to be hoped against—when the proposition is advanced to organize the Race into separate unions. That is, when Union No. 3 of bricklayers and plasterers is composed of white laborers, and Union No. 4 of bricklayers and plasterers is composed of Colored men. That is the spirit and the essence of Jim Crow; and Jim Crow, in any form or by any faith, is our cup. We are resolutely opposed to its infamy in church and state, and we are invincibly pledged against it in the labor unions, whether North or South. If that is the proposition as made by Gompers and accepted by any league or by Doctor Muton—the honesty of this man is not here questioned—the issue is joined and the fight is on. THERE IS NO COLOR LINE IN THE HANDIWORK OF LABOR, AND THERE SHOULD BE NONE IN THE COUNCILS OF LABOR. Whatever progress the Race has made in the world of labor in the free states has been made in spite of and not because of the American Federation of Labor. Thus far the Negro has come alone, and alone he can go still farther, until the politics of American labor is taught the theory of "the sweat of the brow." Only a few hours ago the New York Times felt impelled to rebuke Mr. Gompers for sustaining the Brotherhood of Carpenters in its persistence in embarrassing the government at a time when every saw and hammer is needed. Mr. Gompers may properly sustain the Brotherhood of Labor and Man without fear of rebuke from any source. The Race will refuse the union until the union accepts and considers the Race man at least as much of citizen and man as the foreign laborers in the unions whose particular mark is their universal apprenticeship and their inability to speak the English language. These are plain facts; likewise these are plain times. Before the terms of the American Federation of Labor to Jim Crow the Race are accepted, let a conference be called in Chicago. Let a committee of two be chosen by the people meet in Chicago, and let Mr. Gompers come or send a representative, and let these three select two men like Dr. George Hall and Robert McCurd for referee. THEN WE CAN KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING. AS IT IS, THE LABORER IS BEING FED FROM A SPOON, THE BOWL OF WHICH NO ONE CAN TELL FROM THE HANDLE! Statement to the Public TO OUR FRIENDS: I wish to take advantage of my first opportunity to express to you through the Chicago Defender—the world wide Race Journal—my deepest appreciation for the loyal, enthusiastic and effective support given us in our fight before the National Republican committee which met in St. Louise, Mo., on the 12th instant wherein my seat was vacated. The attorney from Missouri was contested. I was defeated by two votes and lost those two votes by a malicious rumor spread by a man of manhood in the manhood of the committee if seated. This rumor was circulated among two or three of my friends, while the roll was being called, by a former camaraderie known to have anti-racial leanings. We won the state organization and the Hon. W. O. Ligon, the white haired party veteran and noble southern gentleman George C. Granberry, a planner and teacher of the highest standing, is still our secretary and we hold a majority. W. H. Broomfield, Prof. E. H. McKissack, Hon. C. N. Miller, Prof. George H. Oliver, Dr. W. A. Attaway, Prof. E. H. Howard, Hon. Thos. I, Keys, Hon. L. J. Piernas, Hon. W. O. Ligon, Prof. George C. Granberry and P. W. however these gentlemen are all of financially and in integrity. The fight for fair play has only been taught in the past by a lot of the party are behind these men. I hasten to advise our friends of their absence from the session stood with us at the recent session. They are the committees of Illinois, Arizona, California, Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin District of Columbia, Alaska. The Race owes these gentlemen a lasting debt of gratitude and we appeal to our strong brethren of the state to remember these gentlemen who knew the Constitution, nor color in the Republican party. We appeal to every former Mississippi now residing in the state of Illinois to stand by that great statesman William Hale Thompson, in his fight for the senate from Illinois, for as national committee for Illinois he voted for us on every ballot. He had the honor of being represented by the Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, who hold the proxy of the national committee of Georgia and it would, indeed, have heard the discussion in the national committee led by Colonel Johnson which was pronounced by many of the white leaders as 'being the best heard from a member of that body. On the ground working in our business, he is a political leader of Tennessee, the Hon. R. Church; the nation's most gifted orator, Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons, the first American man in the person of Hon. Walter Cohen, and my good Mississippi friend and a successful business man, in the business of the Southern businessmen were all there at their own or- ponse laboring that the door of home and the door of opportunity might not be open. We pray for the sacrifice in *Near Far Southland*, where we are fighting for our manhood's rights, the protection of our womanhood, and make the South safe for our children. We again want to appeal to you whose ballots can swing the political balance you own, that you do not relax your vote, that you do not until the battle is won at the next national convention. See your national committeemen and talk this matter. We wish to give special thanks to the Chicago Defender, which is the organ for the Republicans of Mississippi, for its efforts in selfish fight in behalf of the disfranchised, unprotected, oppressed and struggling masses of my people. The support of the support that you given us, and, although we are in the far South, we always be found standing up, battling always be found standing up, the full manhood rights of the Rupee. EX-SLAVE REACHES AGE OF SENTENCED TO HANG Baltimore, Md., Feb. 22. —John Snowdon was convicted of the murder of the late Mary May Brandon, of Annapolis, before the judge sentenced him to court, and sentenced to hang. Before passing sentence Judge Duncan asked Snowdon if he was guilty. He answered, "Yes." Attorneyneys, C. Gus Grasson, of Annapolis, the manse, Theodore, Annapolis, Md.; and Glass S. Williams, Washington, D. C., defended Motion for a new trial was made. Mr. Snowdon seriously murdered August 8th last. Snowdon was arrested as a suspect, and later charged with the crime. Circumstantial evidence brought about a conviction. Annual Smoker The Ploughman held its fourth annual snooker at Monday night, and as usual, the affair was a distinct and classy function, both members and guests. The committee extends thanks to the centermen who donated their servicemen who speaking and lunch held the boys until the wee sma hours of the morning. Community Center Community Center Makes Report Louisville, KY, Feb. 22.—The Booker Tennessee Community Center, 9th and Magazine Center, of which Mrs. Bessie Allen is president, made the report last week. The presi- sion reviewed the work accomplished the week and the executive committee extended Allen a vote of thanks for gathering the young children from the alleys to hear Christ and taught the ways of his life. Col. Roscoe Simmons is on the committee; also Dr. J. C. A. Latti- CONSERVATION OF HEALTH BEING PREPARED We are going to repeat here what has often been stated in these columns, for reasons that will be quite obvious further on in this article. From time to time, we have tried to impress upon the minds of our readers, in fact, we have tried to drive the conviction home, that one's most valuable asset on earth is GOOD HEALTH, and that when one's health is gone, he is handicapped. If life holds little hope him that is worth while. Again we have stated and DR. WILLIAMS article. From time to time, we have tried to impress upon the minds of our readers, in fact, we have tried to drive the conviction home, that one's most valuable asset on this earth is GOOD HEALTH; and that when one's health is one, he is cared-capped — life holds little for him that is worth having, have stated and reiterated that the two most precious gifts or possessions bequeathed or held mankind, are good health and life. When ill, he will give all his riches and possessions for the purpose of regaining his health. The same true when you are on the brink of death, you can push into insignificance comparable with your Boing Prepared Let us call your attention to a few stubborn facts that the physicians of their community, may more, of this kind, come into the world of the child, but a woman about to become a mother—she and her husband have nine months to make the necessary preparations for coming into the world of the child, but, despite a lack of thrift and economy, they put off from day to day, to make the necessary preparations, and at the moment rush to the telephone going along with the doctor in the neighborhood trying to find a physician, a midwife or a nurse to assist them out of the dilemma. Often the mother rushes to the telephone for the bedding, no bracelet no fontain syringe, no blinder for the mother, no clothing for the baby, in fact, none of the absolute necessities for the bedding been prepared months ahead and held until the proper time arrived. A physician should have been engaged; also a nurse if the mother desired to remain in the hospital, and should be made with the maternal partment of a good hospital, that is, if she is going to a hospital, but do not take the most moment, and spend all your time on the child who was born on the floor before she could arrive with ambulance to take mother to the County hospital. Doctors know that as a rule, people who are born. Nine months is plenty of time to save money to get the necessary to carry them through confinement, are not apt to pay after the birth. Nine months is plenty of time to save money to employ a physician, physicians absolutely refuse to take maternity cases on credit. Such cases are not emergency cases—they are not born. One is not able to employ a physician, one is not able to employ a general hospital where the expiration of the nine months. NEGLECT A great many people neglect to call the physician to doctor or examine and diagnose their sickness, until they have their sickness, expounded the poor sickness, comedied people will use all co.医谋, that are recommended. They will make some neighbour think by such practices they are saving money to buy fine clothes, to have swell taxation, to have good time, to "blow in money" foolish in arrets, all of which is a mistaken idea of having a good time. Let us bring ANITA BROWN ON GULF COAST New Orleans, Feb. 22—Mrs. Anita Pattil Brown, the distinguished visitor left our city last week after being the receiptent of all the hospitality that could be thrust upon her in one very short week leaving many acquaintances filled with remorse who could not entertain her on account of her limited stay. Among the many functions attended the most notable was an eight course dinner where turkey stuffed with oyster and almond dressing was served; vegetables fresh from the garden and delicacies too numerous to mention including hot rolls made from flour not Hooverized, all prepared from potatoes, breadfruit, Mrs. R. A. Perkins of Florida, Mrs. R. A. Perkins of companion, Miss Doxy, Chicago, Messrs. Burrell, Denson and James, New Orleans. Telegraphic dispatches received told of Mrs. Brown's visit to the shores of the Chattahoochee river, then to Liv Oak and is now in Jacksonville, Fl. where she is visiting his birthday at Edward Waters college. Dr. John R. Greyes, Preg. Attorney Mollison to Speak at Olivet Baptist Church Sunday. Sunday, Feb. 24th, Hon. W. E. Mollison will deliver an address, "Lincoln and Douglas—Two Century Plants," before the Standard Literary of Olivet Baptist church. Mr. Mollison has for years been a prominent figure in the public affairs not only of his state but of the country. He has represented the state in many conventions. He has been prominent as a lawyer in his former home state, but has won national note representing contests before commissioning investigations. As a speaker the people of his own state and those who have heard him in Chicago speak of him in the highest both in law and literature. His delivery is graceful and pleasing, and we are pleased to promise the highest form of entertainment to those who have the good fortune to hear him. this fact home to you by rotting; some weeks that curred during the past weeks First case of T. It is a man making 85.3 per cent of his has children of 15.5 per cent. He became sick with what the father thought was "just a bad cold" on its chest. This after giving little to the child. Emulisella, Emulisella, rum, a stinkey and Piso cough syrup for a week with a hope of "breakout" from the various suggestions of them reminding coded to call in a physician. A physician called at 10 a.m. and found the respiration 40 and the child last stage of pneumonia. It was dying and death came to its precious relief in less than three days. He decided to have a doctor see his child to "learn what was the matter with his child". The patients of this child and but recently arrived Chicago to call in a physician for "just a cough and cold". But now the father says he would be willing to give all of his child back to life. MORAL—The proper and sensible thing for this father to have done in his life was to diligent physician for diagnosis. If he did not feel able to spend any part of his life with the physician, he could have called up the Health Department, and they would have diagnosed its trouble; or the physician could have sent to the Provident hospital dispensary for treatment; and who knows but that of this young child might have been spared. We call upon the ministers of this community, upon the presidents of the various public meetings to advise and instruct Colored people of this community not to neglect calling a physician for what they consider a cold — "cold on the chest" — the physician early. If they are not able to pay a physician, to call up Main 447, Health Department, who will provide a doctor to make examination, diagnosis and instructions; or call up the County Agent located at 215 Peoria street, or call at Provident hospital dispensary, or the Garborn streets, Phone Douglas 1381. There is absolutely no reason for any person who is too poor to employ. a doctor, being without medical services of the health department, they will just use a little common sense and judgment. Consult a physician or visit the dispensary in your neighborhood, you may be able to conserve your health and post-nec death ripe old age. Oakland, Cal., Feb. 22. "The crowd that gathered at the million dollar City Auditorium Monday night, Feb. 11, to see and hear Roscoe Conkling Simmons embraced the whole Race population of Oakland and all the white people who are determined to go to heaven. Long before the hour set for the adoration the Auditorium was crowded. Colin Schoen came up from Los Angeles and his voice was as clear as a bell and his hands fell like commands of authority. The Ever Ready The orator was introduced by Dean Hunt of the University of California, who referred to his master, the spokesman for his country no less than for his people. "Why Blame Me?" "The dean thundered Roscoe, "the dean complains because his cans are not in the war. A complaint just in its purpose. But let me ask the dean, Why complain to me and why will answer him for my twelve of the hundred cans to whom his remarks are addressed." "Look at me. Note my condition in life. Observe me from head to foot. Then read my record and examine my title. So I read my records are crossed and tied. Look upon my neck the soars there. Measure the chains I wear. Listen in the night and hear the hoops of horses and the whispering sword against my life. My eyes, stepped on my knees, dance with joy at words of kindness and cheer. and this message, through you, back to the mighty people, who rule this land. Never been false. If you will stop, the neverer will if you will command my oppressors to et go, if you will lose my hands and to give, will give my country five out of five. I will owe you, and I will ouarra-tree every man I stoutest soldier among the Hunt!" The University of California, extended him a special invitation to visit the fall, to the fall he will most likely speak in the fall. Greek theater. The visit of Roscoe Corkling, Simmons to California has done more for country than a newspaper report, can, have more foes, made over him than a visitor since Booker T. Washington was out here.
