Emmet J. Scott Comes to the Rescue and Secures Justice
Special to the Defender
St. Louis, Mo., March 1—There is one instance in this city which argues strongly for the Race having a representative at Washington to look after its interests during these trying times. Scot has proved true to his trust is indicated by the following circumstances: Jesse B. Short of Pine Flock, Ark., passed the civil service examination for clerks for the quartermaster's corps and was given an appointment to the organization. Information obtainable it appears the appointing officer was surprised to find that Mr. Short was a typical Race man; anyway, the skids seem to have been generously oiled and he was in a position to lose out in war, when the attention of the officer was called. He was promptly transferred to this city, where he has been ever since, and has won the respect and admiration of the officials and employees as well. Mr. Short is the first person to have been asked as your correspondent is able to learn who has ever been at the arsenal. He is efficient, has the goods, is well liked all around, and making an enviable reputation for himself and the Race in his new field. To Emmet J. L. Scott of seeing that the Race secured its just deserts in this case.

her, and a courtship followed which finally culminated in the announcing of an engagement during the spring of 1916. Shortly after the engagement, he shortened the date for Arthurton left Chicago for this city, and successive marriage dates were broken between the couple, because of Dr. Arthurton's failure to appear in Los Angeles. It is reported by friends of the physician that he witnessed serious injuries in adjusting his affairs satisfactorily, and after a day caused much public comment and forced Dr. Arthurton to make his journey to the coast hurriedly, thus greatly incapacitating his ambition to immediately launch in the medical field. Due to the fact that the California prison does not reciprocate with the Illinois board, under which Dr. Arthurton received his certificate, he was forced to accept a position as a prescription clerk and soda-water jerker in a local Mrs. Arthurton was a music scholar at Fisk University, Nashville, Teen, from the year 1912 to 1916, and usually came from that institution to the city of Chicago, Ill. to spend the summer vacations. She is the daughter of Hon. Arthurton died her charges against, is a estate dealer and prominent citizen of the city, is a young woman of refined character, and is admired by a host of friends throughout the country. Dr. Robert N. Arthurton, whom Mrs. Arthurton died her charges against, is a native of the West Coast University and a graduate of one of the medical schools of Chicago, having finished a night course. He was actively engaged in social affairs while a resident of Chicago, and gained consider-able when his activities caused the disorganization of a Greek letter society.
The case is being watched with much interest by people throughout the country who were familiar with the couple and knew of the romantic episode.

LABOR A HQAX
Cleveland, Ohio, March 1.—Southern whip hounds, in the guise of the Chamber of Commerce of Dawson, Ga., recently appealed to Mayor Davis of this city to encourage recent emigrants North to return to the South. The chair advised the mayor that farm labor is needed in the South. They referred to statements that efforts are being made to arrange for the return of Negroes who desire to get back to their former homes in the southern states.

Each night this is the prayer of little Arthur Ghant, 737 Laal Salle street, and Miss Kate Thompson, a roomer, who is looking after the 5-year-old lad, turns aside with tears in her eyes, for she knows that his prayers will never be answered.

The unidentified man made good his escape and a posse of white citizens armed themselves with Winchester rifles and shotguns and literally combed the vile man they accused man. The last dispatch站 that their efforts have been unavailing.

Patrolmen Broadfoot and Dowdy entered the cafe bent on arresting two men whom they had seen enter with a suitcase. They passed by all of the men who were seated in the cafe, and ended of the counter, where Tony Wilson the man who did the shooting were seated, Officer Broadfoot, who has been known as a terror in this district, abruptly affronted by asking, "What's in that man sitting next to Troy Wilson the marked, 'I ain't got nothing in it, boss.'

full force. It was claimed by the De Priest faction that the women were strong for the Priest, but the dual count of the women's vote showed the major in the lead. Behind Jackson and his candidacy were the city hall forces, Mayor Thompson, Edward Wright, assistant corporation counsel; Rev. A. J. Carey, chief examiner of law claims for the city; George W. Ellis, assistant corporation counsel; Louis B. Anderson, Second ward alderman; George Harding (white) state senator; Martin B. Madleton, congressman. A false report was put out during the latter part of last week that Mayor Thompson was throwing his forces to De Priest.
A Defender reporter calling on Edward Wright and Rev. Carey was given to understand that the mayor was not with the Von Hindenburg of the Second ward, but was with Jackson; further that the mayor owed no allegiance to De Priest because those who helped the mayor carry the mayoralty nomigation as nominee of the Republican party three years ago were Wright, Carey and Anderson and that De Priest and his gang were for Olson, who was then Judge. The Wright-Carey faction DELIVERED the Second ward to the mayor and it was the means of him being where he is today.
On the other hand, DePriest was backed by Samuel Pettitson, corporation counsel, who, although he has a close friend of the face and was a close friend of the late Major John Buckner, he inspires, to the rumor going the rounds, to the student's seat in Congress. Another rumor that floated through the ward was Tiger Sullivan, the big maggot downriver to his aid to DePriest in return for the award Al Tennery and other Democrats in this ward during the recent years.
During the campaign, charge after charge was hurled at the Jackson area at most cases, dwelt upon the issues at stake and ignored the personalities thruout at them by the DePriestenburgs.
Tuesday automobiles were busy carrying voters to and from the polls. Towards riding time several trucks were rushed into the second yards to gather in those from the Seconde yards to coming from work and rush them to the polls. Never in the history of the Seconde ward has there been such activity in a contest. Judge Scully was seen by the reporter as early as 7 o'clock making sure to each voting booth, where double guards and police had been stationed.
The issue, as those who have read the Defender know, has been one of great importance, a case of a man with a record simple backed by the Chicago Defender and by the best element of the Second ward, by the big downtown dalles, by the best thing in the city, there being 1,500 such votes in this ward in Municipal Voters' League (white) and by the Thompson faction in the city, by Defrist made his fight bravely, but he was not victorious, although vindicated by a white man many to believe that the time was not ripe to put him back into the city council, especially with nine indictments against him, it would have been a sorry plight and the man nominated by the Race for

James W. Johnson Acts as Spokesman for Committee
CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS SERVICE
Washington, D. C., March 1—President Wilson on Tuesday afternoon reopened a delegation of four members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by special appointment. The delegation placed heir to the estate of 121,600 citizens of New York, in which the President was asked to extend executive elemency to the five Negro members of the court-martial which tried the Houston riot cases, and requesting the president to him a review of the cases of the forty-one soldiers of the same resentment who were sentenced to life imprisonment. A commission consisted of James Woldon Johnson, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, restorer of St. Augustine's church, Brooklyn; Rev. Frank M. Hyder, pastor of St. James' Presbyterian church, Brooklyn; and president of the New York branch.
Mr. Johnson, who acted as spokes-
"We come as a delegation from the New York branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing the 12,000 signers to the petition, which we have sent to the president of the United States, come not only as the representatives of those who signed this petition, but we come representing the sentiments and aspirations, and sorrows, too, of the Negro population of the United States.
"It is neither our purpose nor is this the occasion to argue whether this attitude of mind on the part of the representatives of the Race we desire only to testify that it does not exist. This state of mind has been intensified among white persons were involved through the Houston affair, and the regiment to which the Colored men belonged was offered entirely by white men, none of whom had been able to learn, have been prosecuted or condained. We desire also respectfully to call to attention that if there were mitigating circumstances for the action of these men of the Twenty-fourth infantry. Not by any premeditated action, but by a long series of humiliating and harassing incidents, culminating in the brutal assault, or Corporal Battalion action, or the frzenized action. This is borne out by the long record of orderly and soldierly conduct on the part of the restorers, without its whole history up to that time.
"And to the end that you extend the elementry which we ask, we lay before you this petition, signed by white as well as Colored citizens of New York, to be president of a New York bank, 72 years of age, and a native of Lexington, Ky.
"And now, Mr. President, we would not let this opportunity pass without us against our people that have taken place in the last three-quarters of a year outliness that are not only imminent but also plausible upon the fair name of our common country. We mention the close friend and devoted people here the brunt of both the cruelty of the mob and the processes of law. And we especially mention the place in the single state of Tennessee within nine months; the burnings at Memphis, Teen. at Dyersburgh, Tenn. at Nashville, Tenn. where a Necro charged with the killing of two men was tortured with red-hot trens, then saturated with acid, and then burned by American men, women and children. And we ask that you who have spoken so nobly to the whole world for the specific wrongs. We realize that your high position and tremendous moral influence, which you wield in the face of the greater force than could come from any other source. Our people are intently listening and praying that you may and it in your heart to speak that
The President received the delegation very cordially and granted them permission to assure them, in effect, that he would carefully examine the record in the case of the condemned men and would take the whole attention, surprising incident at the interview was that the President declared he had not heard anything and asked the committee to state the facts for him, which the committee did. The President expressed the opinion that such thing had happened. The delegation assured him that not only was it true in the case at Estil, but similar incidences had happened at Penn, and at Dyersburg, Tenn., also.

The winning candidate took the victory, and that his opponent has made a game fight. He realized the power of the Chicago Defender, and although he was not the other factor, he and prepared for the real campaign to come against the Democratic nominee, Jackson cautioned his followers not to brave too much about the victory, as other factions have sorely made a Race issue of the fight, might cause the 1,500 white votes in the race to go to the white candidate, regardless of the fact that he was a Democrat.

Jackson's Platform
1. I stand for the two greatest friends the Race has had during the last fifty years—Mayer Wm. Hale Thompson and Congressman Martin M. Bolden.
2. I stand for making the Second ward the greatest Republican ward in the city of Chicago and for removing the stigma and correcting the newspaper statement "that the ward contains remnants of the old red light district."
3. I stand for clean streets and clean alleys that our ward may be just as healthy a spot in which to live as any other ward in Chicago.
4. I stand for universal transfers good all intersecting surface and elevated lines.
5. I stand for building of a subway by the city of Chicago, there being no bar to a man's labor or employment in the building of the subway on account of his race, creed or religion.
6. I stand for doing all within my power to secure the appointment of Race policewomen and the naming of at least one of our Race on the school board and to secure employment for blue people in the city's large corporations.
6. I stand for assisting our new friends and citizens from the southern states over our poverty and to allow them to protect their welfare and us socially, morally, religiously and fraternally.
7. I stand for more and better playgrounds for our children to play of a public market in or near our ward and $bathing beach at the foot of 31st street, 33d street or 35th street, the same for the benefit and use of all others, without regard to race or color.

12. I stand for giving my constant time and attention to all matters afflicted by the citizens of the world with the care of that in no case and at no time will compensation, either in money or otherwise, be exacted or accepted therefor.

Several farmers were forced to hide in the outlaws' outlaws had devastated the property, said to have been organized among the farmers to combat this foul method of white mongrels, and every farm house in the county munition and shotguns. This is the first real effort by the Race to vigorously fight southern whites should be evacuated to destroy valuable property. The wholesale arrest of the white Ku Klux was ordered and thought ad-hoc. The farmers were sufficiently prepared to offset subsequently planned attacks.

SECOND "JIM CROW"
CAR LAW PROPOSED
Louisville, Ky., March 1—Alderman Zelser introduced a "Jim Crow" street car bill in the council Jan. 22. The majority of the aldermen ignore it; it was the president men among our people. Tuesday night, Feb. 19, Alderman Hill introduced a second "Jim Crow" street car. The provisions of the bill are both from the rear end, but the whites shall leave from the front end exclusively; that our people must use the road to right from the cars providing the traffic on the streets the seats parallel to the alley in the rear to be reserved for our people. Here is another chance for the old city to be made more lawful, to take the case to the United States Supreme Court. If it's unlawful for our people to be segregated in certain parts of the city, it's equally unlawful for our people to be segregated in street cars. Louisville people have shown more backbone in fighting for their rights than any other city in the country. Elder James M. Webb, Chilton Hill is opposing the passage of the bill.
APPEAL TO GOVERNOR
TO STOP LYNCHINGS
Nashville, Tenn., March 1,—Five
harmed by a gun caller on the Governor of Tennessee.
Tom C. Rye, at the state capitol
here, and protested against the inhu-
dition of the governor, who per-
turated against the Roe law.
The procession caused intense excitement through the principal streets of Nashville and the presentatives of the Committee of Five
Hundred in the chamber of the House
of Representatives.
Gerald R. McCormack with the Negroes
to their perfect right to a hearing by him and stated he willingly
gave it to them. He called attention
not that no court has yet con-
victed him, but that his chynchings of men of color, and ther-
fore, he had not yet had an opportunity
to know what will result from their inhu-
dition.
"Until these courts take up these
crimes we cannot tell just who is to
blame, and just how far the law will
be enforced, and how guilty to
justice," he told his auditors.
Governor Rye explained that the chief executive of the state was powerless, and other officials of the state unless petitioned to by these officials, and said that at one time he made an effort to have a law passed which would give him power over the state in such emergencies, but his was defended. When conditions exist that menace the executive powers of a state from protecting men's civil liberty, the populace should rise up in a fervid protest.
MURDER TRIAL POSTPONED
Tulsa, Okla., March 11 — A large crowd gathered for the court house last Monday morning to hear the Rowo murder case and to see the principals, Douglas Rowe, who shot and killed his brother Webb, Sunny Browne, and his wife who is being held as an accessor to the crime, but the case was postponed until next Monday morning, when again the court house will be packed with armed spectators. Virgil Rowe, is playing an active part in the prosecution.

To the Editor of the Chicago Defender: In looking over the specially invited Colored guests to the dedication of the Colored soldiers at Camp Upton I labeled to see the names of the men and women who not only scattered sunshine in the path of the drafted men on the field of action, but have been working intriguingly ever since, that the Colored contingent might have, as far as in their power lies, every comfort enjoyed in the week preceding their march to Camp Upton, made so by the heavy downfall of rain that morning, the courage of the Kins County Republican League, of which John H. Smith is president. A little later a group of women who have been working steadily in the Marrs, Mrs Kate Landing, Mrs Charles Moore, Miss M. B. Lyons and others, assisted by George E.

New York, March 1.—In line with the progressive policy always displayed by this paper, we have opened an up-to-date office for the distribution of the Defender in and around Greater New York, and the collection of real news, this office is made available in circulation throughout the east, an increase which made it absolutely necessary to have a complete newspaper advertising alone, placed a burden on our Chicago office that could not be handled. Added to that, people in New York had learned to look with interest which our correspondents would send in. This feature of the Defender laterly to be entirely discontinued, since our New York representative was care for the distributing and advertising. So, that our business might be properly cared for, our growth in circulation encouraged, and our news from the press pended, thus insuring our New York patrons greater advantages than otherwise, we have opened our New York office, and our division of William White, our general eastern manager, whose unfortuneffors in distributing the Defender in Brooklyn promptly and courteously, in that thorough.

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, stubbord 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.

N. A. A. C. P. Appeal Remains Unanswered
New York, March 1. - John R. Shiladay, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has his second appeal on behalf of the Association on behalf of the State of Tennessee Wilson through Secretary Joseph P. Tumulty. This was primarily due to the ignoring of the first appeal made by the Association to President Wilson of the burning and torturing of the McIlleherron at Estill Springs, Tennessee. The United States Attorney-General, to whom the President referred the Association's first appeal, stated that the State Department had taken to take action against the Governor of Tennessee had made no response to the Association's telegram requesting information as to what steps the State Department had taken to take action against the mob violators.

ALWAYS MENTION THE DEFENDER WHEN WRITING ADVERTISERS
Some people say: "Why do you charge so much for the paper? 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 space they use up on the paper in advertisements, but this is not so with the Supreme Sun of Righteousness. It is not a common public advertisement sheet, from one dollar to ten dollars per inch is used up with Supreme news and information coming to all its readers that nobody has paid for but the publishers pay from one dollar to ten dollars per inch 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 for one and so on. If you pay one dollar in inch for each inch of the paper, just four pages of it would cost you or each reader over six hundred dollars. If you 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 Europe informing the American people that a person has been received from the people in America, is sold for Three Hundred Dollars ($300), as it is in Providence RI, or in Plymouth, MA, in paper informing the people of the world of the present mind of the Almighty, ought to sell or be worth Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000). And if a postal card sent from Europe giving direct facts as to how much money the people have received from their friends in America in the beginning of the war in that land is worth Three Hundred Dollars for sale of it, for that amount in Providence, recently, then a newspaper sent to the friends of the holy warriors of the world, gives facts as to how and on that kind of God is now willing and will give His people victory over the devil and his angels, forever and ever, ought to be sold for $300,000,000, a copy, and a man or woman that would not pay one Dollar for a copy of it will not forgive them, whether such people get any tobacco to smoke or any bread to eat, for I am sure that there is no lasting victory for the selfless people can ever win for God or for the just and innocent of mankind.
Therefore we advise every man and every woman and each of you readers to send your dollar and get a copy of The Supreme Sim of Righteousness.

The privilege to get it is worth a fortune, but the man or woman who has persuaded you to grasp the opportunity to get a copy of the first issue of it will not forgive themselves and will not forget them, or man or woman who has persuaded you to grasp the opportunity to get what is in it for them.

"You can't judge an actor by his size; the biggest drum in the band plays the fewest notes."
The Grand
Now on their third big week here, the Smarter Set Co., headed by Salem and the Smarter Set Co., are surrounded with a great cast, is drawing in an undiminished manner. That this attraction must be maintained for three consecutive weeks speaks louder for than any writer that the writer would be capable of framing. Still, we still think that the offerings of this fine group of performers is a credit to present-day theater, not those their efficiency stand out upon both sides of their department off stage is of a

character that makes them objects of respect by all who come in contact with them, thus giving this long engagement the routine of weakening, and as a consequence a great many of the admirers are "repeating," as they realize that "My Person is not be replaced by something entirely new in the season. The show is hooked solid for a long time ahead. This end of the business is handled by Mr. Collins, one of the best of all advance men, and who we have has been selected by him throughout the season, never been gone over by a Race attraction. The Defender wishes all concerned the best of luck and assures its readers located in the towns that the show is being held, they are in line to view the best musical comedy attraction on the road today.
The Avenue
Valyda & Brazilian Nuts were the feature act of a strong bill here the last half of the past week. This act is an entertaining blend of the show business, and the manner in which it "stopped proceedings" here, show after show, tells why it has been the most successful tour of the most select time of the tour of the Orpheum. Valyda herself was a hit with her song numbers, in which she demonstrated the double voice that she has been known for, a speedy and stung presence and is a finished artist. The plapo work of Norma Thomas is a sensation, while the dancing and clean-cut. The act is a fast, look-up, and is chassy in the extreme, all working in full dress and the business on the finish—that did the business on the finish—that called for a short curtain talk by Valyda. Some act, well say, Ikoma, a physical marvel, was the first on, and the act was unique as it was difficult. Duffy & Ingals, with a bride and groom routine of talk, more than pleased with the business, a dashing sourire, had an entertaining bunch of talk and songs; Harry Dixon, with a piano, dot well, a comedy eclipses, closed the bill with their sensational work on the wheels.
The bill here the first half of the present week is a fine one and includes Anika Arliss & Co., Jackson Cole, Akira Arliss & Co., Simmons, Simpson & Deep in Van Hagen.
The Monogram
There is a bill here to conjure with this week. All headline acts and far more entertainment is varied and more than the act brings back the popular Johnny Woods and his wooden-headed partner, Little Henry, who have not written any songs for a day. They have a brunt new line of talk and songs, and are as big a hit now as they ever were on their face-full, everything considered. The three Jazz Girls, who have just finished a fine tour of the Consolidated time, in which they played more than the more comedic folks like it in the most approved style. The Taylor Sisters, who were seen here some few weeks ago, have now been acquainted as Edwards & Edwards, dancing pairs seen in a long time. They have a good act and one that sent a fine bunch of reports ahead of it, bringing it up side and down the other. More in line sure has a show to feel proud of.
TELLS THE TRUTH
"Won't You Promise Me?" is the title of a dandy song number sent to the wolf top Roll Desk into last week, which goes on to show that the writer has things down pat. Get this: Friend, Gary, Ind, Feb. 21, 1918. Greet your column and send you a copy of my new song, juxtaposed and I hope that you will like it. I always read your column and will say "I'm the Greatest week!" put the Greatest Green card on the Week out of Weekly. No doubt that many of the acts that you know will soon be using Won't You Promise Me! Greet more of my somes ready, look for an advertisement for your great page. Best wishes to you and all the staff. Sincerely. ARTHUR E. WILLIAMS. IMS Pam ave. Gary, Ind.

"EMPTY POCKETS"
Managers Welhofen & Parsons of the
Boston Post special for the attraction at that
priory house on the two days, Saturday
and Sunday. The novel is "Empty Pocket," Rupert Hughs
novel of New York hustle. The fact
that Brenon, the producer will whet your appetite is
The story tells of the murder of a millionaire man about-town, whose body is found on a tenement roof in New York City, and whose hand is clutched a long strand of hair. This is the only clew, and the rest of the romance deals with the unintended mystery. The plot keeps the story within the limits of copper-hatred beauties committed the murder, until it relieves the suspense near the finish of the film. It is a hard-to-find story, which the author handling. It is a yarn about rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief to say nothing of [pretty girls]—good and lovely. Loose hair, hot stuff, rough stuff, scars, scars, scars, make "Empty Pockets" the real stuff. While there is a wonderfully strong cast in this great melodrama. It is a star presen in the film, while watching it on does not think of the players, for they do not seem to be actors. Brennan does not bother much with the characters, types, types are what I insist on, he and "Empty Pockets" proves him right, "Make-up," says Brennan, "won't make an aristocrat of a placebent, nor a gunman of a placebent, nor a blunder, as well as love by the barrel, will be realized when you see that a hunter's daughter, an adventurer, a gunman's wife and a sweat shop worker, But see for yourself, and remember that it is to be shown to adults only.

Berni Barbour, with a meckit, a green thet that, when the 17th of March rolls round, is the reception of one of the south side sit up and take notice. Then, just to top the whole business off, the mail man drops a box of twen- and three pieces of perfectes in the mitt. These are full of Mobile, Ala. and were sent by my good friends, Akers & Jackson, who have been playing a date at the Pike Place Hotel. I think things as these that help to keep that smile working at the head of the first theatrical column, and the writer can't help but say "God bless the whole mob

"PAINTED LIPS"

Lou was taken in by Rosie, a woman of the underworld, a type that Lou and never seen and did not suspect. Lou was a kind of soubrette clothes, shirts, lips, powdered her face and curled her hair, and took her to the Straw Cellar, a notorious hangout. She had not been able to resist, but respectable, though intolerant. She Douglass, and he had a real purpose in stealing her from the police. Never suspecting her to be anything but what she was, he thought her pulp her off on Andrew Shatler a low-crime character, who had access to the best of society. Lou was duly trained, and for the part, thinking that Douglass was the master of the latter was astonished at her class and beauty. He only half-heartedly induced Shatler into his trap, and the man she gloried in the idea, sending her back to Douglass the latter was sending to him. See how the entire story works out, to where the father avenges his daughter's own hands and Douglass murders Lou. States theater for one day, next Sunday, March 2. Don't miss this one.

He hit down, Grant hit one over Judy Gans' head for three sacks, but little Williams went down on strikes. With one gone in the fifth Barber was safe when he hit though short, but Bemose hit into a fast double play, Joe Williams to Charon to Cummings, Gonzales vied with Francis for honors, each going into the crowd for fouls, Francis

ALPHA BIG FIVE LOSES
TO HOWARD UNIVERSIT
Manhattan Casino, New York, March 1.—One of the largest crowds of the season turned out on Washington's birthday evening to witness the basket ball contest between Alpha Big five and Howard University, which was big. The game was hard fought from start to finish, many brilliant plays being executed. The great "Cum Posey," until recently a member of the Montclair-Delance Rifles of Pittsburgh, played in the game, making many difficult baskets. Alpha, which has been playing poor basketball all season, seemed to take on new life with Posey in the game. Their team work was good, but they were not making many chances to pull the game out in the last half. This, coupled with several fouls, explains their defeat. Howard played a consistent game all season, but the cure of "Posey" for fear he would run wild, which was amusing and kept the spectators in an excited state until the final ball sounded. In the preliminary contest Alpha Big five defeated the team, scoring 31-20. Prof. Doug's N. A. Orchestra was on the job and the merry makers danced until an early hour.

Canadian Wins Honors; Decorated by King George
St. Catharines, Ont., March 1—As far as is known the first Canadian of the Race with the overseas forces to be decorated by His Majesty the King is James Grant, more familiar known as "General," a citizen of St. Catharines, who enlisted with the 49th battalion was later transferred to the 23d Howitzer and the 24th of his bravery is well told in a letter received from M. J. Gordon by his parents. The letter reads in part as follows: "It is absolutely impossible for me to give you any particular, but we have done some traveling of late. I have seen more of France and Belgium within the past few weeks than I have seen some of the majesty of Canada in comparison. Someday I will be able to tell you all about it."
I am sitting at present in John M. Hancock and Tom Bradley's dugout. Tom Bradley is the major, as Sergeant Major McLaughlin leaves in England. We have a little quartette in the battery now, and I am going to home up among us, so we have a buggy, Bung, Lee and Watson, the other members. We generally divide our boxes from home up among us, so we have a little sing, and vice versa, and after each we have a little sing, and we have some little quartette, too. When we were we would strike a town where we would strike and would then strike out to see if we could find a piano. Watson plays exceptionally well on the piano, and Buggy line violist and leading the jobs.
The "General"
"Old General Grant is an honorary member and goes all around with us and gets the bold voice working away times."

THIRD COURT MARTIAL
The third court martial growing out of the outbreak of the Negro soldiers at Houston is now in progress at San Antonio, where some more colored soldiers found guilty of a breach of discipline and shot.
This is well enough so far as it goes, for it must be maintained in the army, no matter the occasion to violence may be. But in the course of three court martial trials ought not the real facts of the outbreak to be ignored, dismissed, and the provoking causes rebuilt. Everybody knows that the colored soldiers did not run amuck of their own accord, nor invite the firing squad for their assault. But they must make the situation intolerable. Why is not that something brought to the light of day? Why are not the citizens of Houston who provoked the assault to mild censure of official publicity?
The United States is commissioning colored men as officers in the army, where a colored officer wearing his uniform and observing the etiquet of his position would not be safe. An assuasion upon officer of pride in the armed services would be the punishment meted out to the colored soldiers? Why are other citizens of his free country instructed officially arresting the right-wing enlisted men, and informed officially what will and will not be tolerated in the way of fault or assuasion... the general subject of democracy for the world, why should we not iron out what few creases remain in our garments, and observe them at home?

action they were in Belgium, and another gun had to be sent up to repair Moors, so six horse units under Bob Morris and Bob Bauer with Drivers Buschle, Loo and Grant were detailed to pull a new gun into action through a spot which was always pretty hot, and it just happened motor torrle, blown-up wagons, etc. Fritz was shelling very heavy, and when they got to the point (a cross-hair on the ground, a suicide to pass, it looked as if they wrecked as a couple of vehicles were blown up across the road and there was the smallest kind of space to get through. Corporal Morris ordered the horses and Buschle, to unlock and go back to where they would have more cover for the horses and themselves, as it was utterly impossible for a six-horse team to get there, there was a chance that the wheel team, driven by 'General', might make it, so John Miller and the 'Genius' Morris want to get assistance to man-handle the gun, if necessary. He returned without any success, as no one would help them or could help them, and although he had been gone hardly right back.
Grant, the Man
"Old General" and John Miller had manhandled the gun through the small space, and it was quite simple to pull the gun and fire. He teamed and bring the center and lead teams up, lumber on and carry on. Of course, every one of them did as much as he could to be decorated, and as the "general" had done several little things before this, Corporal Morris, when asked by someone who the thought the man should be given, said, "They are going to prepare a big dinner for all of our brigade, and the boys as if it is anything like last Christmas, so you can buy them as you can buy in London or Paris."

RESOLUTIONS SENT TO ILLINOIS
CONSULTATION LOW-LOY
SHIP LEAGUE
The following resolution was adopted and passed by the Negro Fellowship League Sunday, Feb. 17, copies of the sent to Congressmen Mudden and Mckenzie and the Negro Lewis. This action was in keeping with the suggestion given by the Defender last week which urged all associations and societies to send their Washington resolutions which would tend to demand for the publication of the findings of the congressional committee which investigated the E. St. Louis riotes. Whereas, The Congressional Record of Feb. 4 reports that Congressman Ben Johnson of Kentucky, chairman congressional investigating committee of East St. Louis riots, stated that he would print the entire testimony and photographed that investigation as it would cost about $5,000, and, besides, it could be and stored in the file room; and. Whereas, the reason for the appointment of $15,000 was the result of popular demand for an investigation to die the blame and correct the evils which caused this shameful affair with the subject of putting an end to the violence and horrible outreaches; therefore, but it.
Resolved, That the Negro Fellowship League donates this effort to bury the result of the congressional committee's findings, and asks of Congress publication of the entire document photographs and findings resulting from the sitting of this committee during the month of October, 1917, in East St. Louis, Ill.

J. BERNI BARBOUR
Off to Cleveland, Ohio, Where He Will Stage His New Play
J. Berni Barbour, the famous musician and composer, leaves for Cleveland on Saturday morning, where he will play his new operetta, "Oberlin Malta." In no other way does Berni presented the writer with the greenest necktie in Chicago before he went—one of the noisiest neck pieces he saw down the pike—and with it he left the following poem, which we think is a classic: The Little Green Tie Why, Hello, Tony, a minute I'll stop To greet you, pal, and the Old Roll Tie
My season was fine—only lost one day—
So a bit of "sunshine" I send your way.
It's a little green tie—say, pal—it's crepe.

That boy, Lucky Roberts, holds him fine.

TOM TURPIN'S SONG
Great Military Comedy Song Number Out
One of the host of all the new military songs is the latest one from the pen of Tom Turpin of St. Louis, Mo. He wrote that when Samba Goes to France it is important to theme and is sure to become popular, as it is different from the songs of this description. The copy of the song which he wrote is performed daily, and the writer immediately in the big orchestra at the Grand run through it. It sure is there with the music, and the writer could add it to their repertoire with fine advantage; it also should be on the piano of every home. Mail will be sent to 2333 Market street, St. Louis, Mo.
Other Songs
W. H. Farrell, the popular eastern composer, has submitted several of his late numbers and all of them are far more famous than these are the "Monkey Hunch." "When Back!" "Mama's Blues." "Just Because He's a Soldier." Mr. Farrell is associated in his work with James P. Johnson and Hatch Companies and the publisher, Mail will reach them at 145 W. 54th street, 1211, New York City, N.

To Buster
The Almighty God has made a call, I see;
Who knows how soon he will call you or me?
Hart Little Buster was the young man
upon whom God has laid his hand.
He rummoned this world of worry and strife.
But God has promised him eternal life. Pearl the Maker whom we must meet.
Not one, but all, must rest in his sheep. —E.LAMMOT DAD HOWARD.

This should be sufficient evidence to satisfy the most conservative investor. We say to you in all earnestness to buy today of some of this splendid opportunity.
We raised enough money, and NOW HAVE ON DEPOSIT in the bank a sufficient sum to insure the drilling of SQUARE DEAL WELL NO. I.
Our representative is now in Humboldt, Kan., completing the drilling details.
WITH THE MONEY IN THE BANK to start actual drilling operations, can you afford NOT TO BUY SQUARE DEAL STOCK?
Don't you dare wait until it is all sold or withdrawn from the market, and then say THAT WE DID NOT FORGE YOU TO BUY. Remember, we should have OIL IN EIGHTEEN DAYS. Don't throw this advertisement away. Read every line. In our opinion you will never have another opportunity, like this. In your opinion—do you not honestly believe that the SQUARE DEAL COMPANY IS A WINNER? And now that you are about to line up with what you believe to be a winner—ARE YOU AFRAID TO GO THE LIMIT? Answer these questions!
Act upon your judgment! Then—buy all this stock you can possibly get! In view of all the statements—IF NOW WE SAY TO YOU THAT WE THINK SQUARE DEAL STOCK WILL BE WORTH FROM $50 TO $100 for every dollar you invest in maybe ninety days—would you take a chance with us and buy, or will you let what we honestly declare is a SMASHING BIG OPPORTUNITY ESCAPE YOU?
You must have confidence in some one. We told you that we would surely raise enough money to start drilling our first well. WE RAISED IT.
We think we are able to RUN AN OIL COMPANY. We are positive of it. And we believe we have your confidence and support. LOYAL STOCKHOLDERS, EFFICIENT LEADERSHIP—CAN MAKE MILLIONS. Are you with us? We insist that you are. CLIP OUT THE COUPON BELOW AND BUY YOUR POSITIVE LIMIT.

It is the FIRST Oil and Gas Company in this section of the country organized and incorporated under the blue sky laws of the State of Missouri, and CONTROLLED and MANAGED exclusively by NEGRO MEN. Our company is managed by competent, efficient, successful and progressive young business men. Men who have studied and know the oil business. Men who act rather than talk. The first one of our leases we are going to develop is our 80-acre tract in section 12, township 26, range 18, Allen County, Kansas, near the proven territory of the Humboldt Fields, which

of dry holes. Our lease, the first one we are going to develop, lies in the very center and the very heart of this field of Black Liquid Gold.
You must act quickly if you take advantage of this great proposition, as we plan to sell only enough stock to finance and develop property now under option. Fortunes have been made and are being made in the oil fields of Allen County.
Shallow wells are noted for their long life production. They can be operated at a minimum expense.
If other people are receiving big incomes by investing in oil—then why not you?
You must make your decision now if you get in on what we believe the greatest of all ground floor propositions.

Why Are Allen County Leases the Most Valuable in Kansas?
It Requires Less Money and Less Chance to Produce a Barrel of Good Oil.
Note proof to right:
Compiled by the Oil and Gas Journal of Tulsa, Okla., published in the Oil and Gas News of Kansas City, Sept. 27, page 23:
Here is a chance for a ground floor investment. Oil land is sold on a basis of one thousand dollars per barrel production. Wells surrounding our territory started from one hundred to four hundred barrels per day. The Superior holdings not far from us have a settled production of over three hundred barrels per day, which places the value of their holdings at a half million dollars.
A ten dollar investment in this company may be worth from a thousand to two thousand dollars in less than ninety days! It costs only from eight hundred to a thousand dollars to drill shallow wells. Statistics will show, as you may see on this page, that Allen County holds the world's record for the smallest percentage

All stock is Non-Assessable; no assessment or obligation can ever be made against your stock or any other owner's stock. One well will not spell the ultimate SUCCESS or FAILURE of this company. We have leases in different sections, and we are bound to make money as soon as we can develop our properties, and that is why we are selling stock now. And, get this point: Your stock makes you a partner and part

What Has and What Can Be Made by Investing Money in the Oil Business
We are more wealthy Negroes in Kansas Oklahoma than in any other two states in California—and Oil is the reason. Have you of little Sarah Rector, whose income is $600 per day, or young Manual, who pays an income tax to government on a valuation of an eight dollar estate? Again Oil is the reason, read about the Trapshooters' Company, brought in huge gushers at Eldorado, and made $40,000 for each investor. Perhaps you read the headline in some paper: "Twenty-three Kansas City Men Millionaires by Black Gold From Eu-Wells," and the story that followed of how Hale, the former railroad conductor, made fifteen million dollars. Again, you may have read of the amazing career of Harry Sinclair, who rose from a drug clerk to a multi-millionaire in a few short years, and how in only eleven months his interest earned nearly ninety million dollars. There are scores and scores of cases like three in oil fields. It is said in Tulsa alone there are 160 oil millionaires and hundreds who are rich from oil.
The above is what the white man has earned by investing in oil. These men were in on the ground floor of these companies. They bought stock when these companies were first organized. These were white companies and were principally organized for white men. SQUARE DEAL OIL & GAS COMPANY Colored concern. It is the first Oil Company in this section of the country and incorporated under the blue sky of the State of Missouri, and controlled exclusively by Negro men. Our Capital Stock is $20,000. Our are $1,00 each. We are here offering a same opportunity that the white man has the same chance in the oil business as the other has. E. H. Harriman, the great railroad and investor, once said: "It minded man, who invests at the star enterprise, that makes all the money."

Suppose, now, we strike it rich. Anybody who can add 2 and 2 can surely see that this company won't have to divide its profits between fifty million shareholders. It is easy for a small company's stock to be worth from fifty dollars to one hundred dollars for one, whereas a fifty million dollar company might be very rich and rarely ever pay a big dividend on that amount of stock.

MAJOR JACKSON WINS
On Feb. 26 a majority of the Republican voters in the Second ward selected Major Robert R. Jackson as the Republican nominee of the party to represent the ward in the city council for the next two years. The Republican voters of the ward are hereby congratulated by the Chicago Defender in choosing Major Jackson as the standard bearer of the party and the ward. The contest was one of the most memorable in the history of Chicago, and is unique in the history of the Race in the North and the nation. By the nomination and election of Major Jackson the Race formally assumes the official responsibility for the political conduct and conditions in the ward. The Defender takes pride in urging all good Republicans to unite and make certain the election of the Republican candidate, and co-operate with him to meet the just expectations of the country that our Race make good in this high and new development of democracy in the second largest city of the continent and one of the first cities of the world for the development and prosperity of our people. In rejoicing let us remember that the eyes of the city and the country are upon us, and that in this high function of control we can neither falter nor fail, for the future status of the Race in this nation depends much upon how we conduct the affairs of the Second ward. With this fact before us, let all Republicans and the Race do their best.
AND A LADY APPLAUDS
SOME IGNORANT PERSON made the assertion that Americans were not fully civilized, that they resorted to modes of punishment that would put to shame the most fendish in the Dark Ages. But, of course, little stock can be taken in such an assertion, and the author is shooting wide of the mark, for it can readily be seen ignorant people could not devise such unique instruments of torture nor would they have the brains to put them in effect if they knew about them. No, the American people represent—in their own mind—the highest type of civilization.
Germany is credited with committing atrocities the like of which the world has never seen. Germany is at war, and slight allowances should, perhaps, be made on that account. In Tennessee recently a man was burned at the stake; it was said he shot two other men. Note he was not accused of "the usual crime"—an attack on a woman—but the cause matters little; the effect is the same. Usually the "best citizens" take part in these round-ups, and when the victim is caught he is tied to a tree and burned for a while with hot irons to make him confess. But who cares whether he confesses or not? The crowd has gathered to see the fun and it must not be disappointed; so the wood is piled high about him and after one of the ladies (?) present makes a speech requesting that the torch be applied—a request usually seconded by other ladies (?) present—the brands are lighted and these highest examples of modern American civilization watch a fellow creature writhe in agony and cry out in despair till hushed in death, without a dissenting voice.
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary defines civilization as "the state of being refined in manners from the grossness of savage life, and improved in arts and learning." Who knows but there may be such a thing as a refined moh, composed of "colonels." "Southern aristocracy" and the ever present "best citizens"? Who doubts, after seeing their work, that they have improved on the art of torture practiced in savage life and made it more friendish? But let us see what the same authority has to say about barbarian. Here it is: "Rudeness of manner, savagism, incivility, ferociousness, a savage state of society, etc."
The American Indians were savages, but before being corrupted by the vices of civilized men were remarkable for their hospitality to strangers, and for their truth, loyalty and gratitude to their friends. It is a pity the modern savages did not inherit at least a few of these Indian traits. But perhaps we must not expect too much, taken as we were some few hundred years ago from so-called barbarianism and set right down in the center of so-called civilization; we should ever be grateful to our benefactors. There, though ignorant, we had the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; here, thought educated, we have no rights the white man is bound to respect. In certain sections of this democratic land our destiny seems to be in the hands of the mob, and a black face is all the evidence needed of (?) in the assemblage applaud. If this is civilization, give us barbarism.
WONDER of a match could be arranged between Jack Johnson and Villa and have it staged in the center of "No Man's Land," so that both sides could see some real sport.
NOW THAT THE PRIMARYS ARE OVER and some of us are satisfied with the results, let's get back on the job of putting the kaiser's men under the table.
IF MONEY is as plentiful as some declare it is a wonder some of us wouldn't get a chinage of it occasionally.

A Man Burned Alive.
Not in Prussia -
Here in America.
And a Lady Applauds.
Exercise the omission of any reference to "Prussian brutality" from this column for just one day.
We Americans in the proud and civilized state of Tennessee have just burned 100 people in this interesting performance should take our minds off Prussian cruelty for a while.
The Negro was not accused of "the usual crime," an attack on woman, supposed to explain her brutality. He had shot two men and wounded a third. When they get him they tied him to a tree and burned him for awake with his hands to make confess, something—which is going some distance back in history of justice.
Then they piled wood around him and burned him up
And, note this retiring touch of civilization; a lady made a speech requesting the burning of the Negro and other ladies seconded the motion.

"Doctor, What Is the Matter With
Kimbusky?"
In answer to such a question as, "What is the matter with Mr. Kimbusky?" we state that is none of your business, with the following exceptions: the sick person is relative of yours, including the expenses of his sickness, you are due some consideration; second, if the sick person is an employee of yours or bears some close relation to you, you pay the bills, to know what kind of sickness you are paying for. But, outside of these two above mentioned exceptions, it is really bad ethics—bad behavior, your part to ask a doctor, "what is the matter" with a person that is in no wise related to you, as above mentioned. It is doubly contemptible and ill-timed, your physician on the phone and ask him what is the matter with Mr. So-and-So Mrs. or Miss X. People do not care to have their physical defects or ill-health among people or their neighbors, their physician; and any physician is justified in insulting you and in telling you that it is none of your business as to what is the matter with his physical and mental thing and most profitable thing for you to get busy and keep busy attending to your own business—and this is really true. What would you think of your business, if you should tell your neighbors, or if you should tell Harry, for what he is treating you.
often we have heard people remarked would employ Dr. --- in our family, but would be ashamed to meet him, and would not talk to him. And another expression is, "I would not have Dr. X, because I heard that he tells his wife about every person he treats and for what he treats him. And he never visits our Dr. W, M, because he never visits our neighbors and we never meet him socially, and if he talks, we never hear of you know, as he is not of our kind." The real reason is that you do not want Dr. X, and Dr. W, M, to discuss your sick and health affairs, and not discuss the sickness of other people to the extent of hauling the attending physician on the street, or waiting on the doorsteps, hallways, etc., to ask doctor what is the matter with your sickness. And the matter did you operate on Mr. So-and-Su."
You may be tilted with a kindly interest in the person you inquire about, but we are persuaded that you are interested in the person you chief than anything else. If you are tilted with kindly interest and the person sick is a friend of yours, call to nature for care and inquire as to the nature of the illness. It is contagious, infectious and safe for you to visit, and your very conduct and attitude will proclaim your motive.

HEATHENS LYNCH BUD COSBY
Fayetteville, Ga., March 18 A crowd of white heatheads seized "that" Cosby, hung his body to a tree and riddled it with fire. The police said the danger to a huge crowd by an automobile party. He was accused of entering the home of Mrs. Burney McGee, a 70-year-old year-old baby. It is reported that Cosby was admired by several white women in the vicinity and certain facts were about to uncover when the baby was carried to the bride's patch after the lynching in order to frame up a fake story that the public would gather up. The parties who came out of the crime are "unknown to the law."
