GOV. LOWDEN SAVES 'CHICKEN JOE' CAMPBELL'S NECK COAST OF LIBERIA IS SHELLED BY A GERMAN SUBMARINE SCHOOL TEACHERS ON STRIKE EXTRA VOL. XIII NO. 16. COAST OF SCHOOL Methodist Episcopal Church, North and South, Fail to Agree at Conference Methodist Episcopal Church, North and South, Fail to Agree at Conference By a Staff Correspondent St. Louis, Mo., April 15.—The status of the bishop of Episcopal church and the Methodist Episcopal church South will have to be settled about two years hence unless the bishop sets an earlier date for specia consideration, plan for a new church, or two branches appears that the Negro problem is the only obstacle remaining to the reunion, just as it was the cause of the spit in the church. The Joint Conference Committee of the two branches which was in session four days last week at the Centenary church, adjourned Saturday night with the bishop and agreed that agreement had been reached. Rev. Dr. Frank M. Thomas, white, of Louisville, the secretary of the Joint Conference Committee, gave out the following statement: "We have reached agreement and have voted approval of two of the cru FINANCIAL REPORT OF CHURCH MADE PUBLIC Washington, April 19.—The African Methodist Episcopal church raised $235,522.44 in "dollar money" collected March 21, 2014, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. The previous year, according to the annual report submitted by Financial Secretary John R. Hawkins at the annual financial board of the denomination, held here on Wednesday, April 17. The following members of the board were present: Bishop H. F. Lee, president; Gaines, T. H. Jackson, A. J. Carey, S. J. Roseborough, R. D. Mance, W. H. Edwards, C. H. Shelton, S. P. Johnson, J. R.

Professor Hawkins said that African Methodist churches had raised $1,000.00 for local needs during the past year, that $125,000 had been raised for charities and benefactions. The denomination owned $12,000.00 of property, the report stated.

ALLEY RESIDENTS TO BE FORCED OUT JULY 1 Color, Line Is Drawn at Baltimore, Md., April 19—Much indignation was manifested here when several hundred people of color were refused admission to the Garden theater, which with a rally to boost the sale of War Savings Stamps was held. The band of the 368th Regiment and its inimitable drum major, the band of the 368th Regiment. Despite the fact that the band is composed of Race draftees at Camp Meade, only whites were admitted to the theater. sustained a reasonable doubt, and the Defender predicts that in the course of time the mystery will be solved and the leader board and the commutation by Gov. Lowden will be justified. As we go to press we learn through research Campbell will not be sent toJOI, but he been sent to Chuster for safety's sake. "CHICKEN JOE" CAMPBELL SAVED FROM HANGING Governor Lowden Commutes Sentence to Imprisonment for Life "Chicken Joe" Campbell did not hang last Friday morning at 6 o'clock, as per schedule, because at 5:30 o'clock morning, lawyers owing Jolet's attorney's attorneys deputized for the purpose, arrived at the Jolet depot on the Chicago & Alton train from Springfield with a government sentence to imprisonment for life. It was a precious piece of paper, bearing the signature of Frank O. Lowden, governor of Illinois, and the great seal of the University of Chicago. Scholl had the document in his possession. He called Campbell from the death chamber, in which he had spent the night under the sleepless eyes of the watchman, and told him the good news. Condemned Man Quiet Campbell was overjoyed, of course, and full of gratitude that the sentence had him change. But he was the sadest man brightest and the dent prisoner that he has been for all the three years since the Joliet tragedy. He always insisted upon his wife's death, and he would not suffer the death penalty, "because," he said. "I never killed Mrs. Allen, and they can't hang an innocent man." Of doom was set, but each time his lawyers secured a reprieve until this last time, and now the penalty of death was set. His faith was justified when he said "They can't hang an innocent man." A' Clean Call But it was a close call. When the Defender went to press last week there was scarcely a ray of hope. The Deferent watched a hopeful proceeding at Springfieldhof, where the lawyers for Campbell, F. L. Harnett, A. B. Cowing of Joliet and Judge Robert McMurray fought for Campbell until after midnight, visibly opposing the lawyers for Campbell and Joliet. For nearly four hours Mr. Martin argued against any clemency, declaring that the death penalty was the only one that should fit the crime. Board listened intently, asking questions and in every way showing its purpose to make careful, conscientious and absolutely unbiased investigation of all the matters presented, both in favor of Campbell's plea and against Campbell's Fate in Balance Governor Concedes Gov. Lowden suggested that the executive warrant must be delivered into the hands of the sheriff at Jollet before 6 o'clock next morning and Atkinson before 6 o'clock if the person it personally if deptuated to do so. Gov. Lowden authorized it to be done. Then Judge McMurray suggested that a telegram he sent to the sheriff informed him of his coming, and the governor told his secretary to send a telegram. Then F. L. Barnett suggested an accident might delay the train and that the governor might ask if the governor asked if the governor's secretary might call up Sheriff Scholl at Jollet and tell him that the sentence had been commuted. The governor heard this and asked if the governor had consented. And thus closed what was probably the most dramatic incident thus far in Gov. Lowden's administration. Confrontation of Campbell's sentence confirms the faith of the Defender in its contention that the tragedy at Jollet was a mystery which hanging Campbell would not solve. The error in the record and that according to the record Campbell was guilty. But the Defender was certain and depositions before the board of the county court that did not and could not get into the record, and these facts raised Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY Colonial Troops in the service of France fighting on French soil under Gen.

WE ARE UNABLE TO AGREE AS TO THE STATTS OF THE REElection, the episcopacy and the judicial council have been approved by both commissions on this subject will be transmitted to the general conference of both churches for their information and action." The general conference is not due to convene until 1920 unless the bishops deem a special meeting necessary. The Southern Methodist general conference convenes in the same year. The two branches split in 1841 over the slavery question, but now the problem is one of affiliation. The Methodist Episcopal church has separate "Jim Crow" congregations and the Methodist Episcopal church maintains in the general conference; the Methodist Episcopal church South maintains an entire separate "Jim Crow" organization which are not represented by the other churches, but have a conference of their own. Fifty men including five bishops from each branch of the church were on the joint committee; two of the members of the committee were Dr. E. Johnston of the Methodist Episcopal church, Dr. I. Garland Pointe of Cincinnati. It was currently reported that the Colored men had been rebuked because they fought attempts to satisfy the Southern Episcopal nominal representation," but Bishop Granston of Washington denied this rumor Saturday. It is said, however, the bishop advised them to accept a less than protonationate representation, but they replied they would not do so. HOT SPRINGS MAYOR WISHES HE HAD-MIND OF COL, SIMMONS (Special to: the Defender) (Speaker to the Dealer) Hot Springs, Ark, April 19.—"If I possessed the mind of Roscoe Conkling Simmons," declared Leo McLaughlin, prominent white lawyer, "I would be worth a million dollars in five years." This Mr. McLaughlin deferred after listening for two hours to the great orator at Visitors' chapel. The edifice was packed and such a meeting was never before held in the famous resort. Many white people were present. They took part in the demonstration provided until the address at the conclusion of the address to shake the hand of the speaker. After Jim Crow It was the Jim Crow that Col. Simmons shot to pieces this time. "See that I do not complain in time of war against insults heaped upon me. I am not a slave to the law and wait among the shadows," he said. "Although I wear the uniform of my country and am walking about on guard I take my seat on the Jim Crow car. For myself I can carry the Jim Crow car in that car, but not always, I know." Two Doors "Instructing the world in liberty, my country must first instruct its people in honor. Opening the door of opportunity, my country must first open the Jim Crow car to freemen at home." Introduced by J. T. T.

April 19—Not only by what he says but also by what he does, Charles Banks, genius of this, the largest Race town in the country, keeps way in the lead here. Under the guidance of Mr. Banks and his close friend, John W. Francis, Mound Bayou oversubscribed its quota of the third Liberty Loan. Its quota was $13,800. The town took $18,250 worth of bonds. Mr. Banks presided at the meeting of citizen and himself took $1,000 worth of bonds. He took his seat for marshal of the town was held. William Dixon, the Banks-Francis candidate, ran over Clegg, the booze eney.

"Hitter St. Louis," was the election slogan, and the Race hero has good memory. 6 INDICTMENTS IN EAST ST.

One of those indicted was the notorious Alexander Flannigan, who is to have made a speech encouraging the inquiry to his own hands in dealing with the Race situation in East St. Louis. The charge against him is violation of the law, and he is attempting to aid John Saliz (white) at East St. Louis saliz keeper, to become a citizen.

C., April 19—Following the brutal assault on Miss Mary Euell, a teacher in the public schools here, by C. L. Coon (white), superintendent of public instruction, mino teachers on board of resignation, and board of education and walked out of the school rooms. The trouble arose when Miss Mary Euell sought an interview with Mr. Coon for the purpose of voicing objection against the school principal, J. D. Reid, Principal Reid was in the office of Coon when he skipped Miss Euell, but only grinned and joined in with the superscripted word "legged" to have told Miss Euell that she should not have talked to a "white gentleman" in such a manner, and that she should have remembered that while folks is white folks. Principal Reid hand at the school, and the fact that teachers were overcrowded with work is decided as the reason for the misunderstanding. The interview: "I slapped Mary Euell's face because she persisted in talking back to me. She was grossly discounted to me in my office. I am sure there is no white man Wilson who would have given otherwise. He continued. "The principal of the Colored school is not responsible for this trouble. He is a 'good Nigro' and acted perfectly respectable when I was a Nigro." "The principal of 'Nigro' we need in the principalship, and as long as I am superintendent he will remain at the post. He knows a 'Nigro's' place, and when I was a Nigro we had a Coon, white Prof. Reid, termed the "good Nigro", looked on and smiled: On the morning of Monday, April 1, I with some of the other teachers discussed the old school at 8:30 and began our day at school by 8:30 and began our day at work, and at time to close, by the new time, closed the day's work. Principal Reid did not begin until the usual hour by the old time, and the office objected to my closing before he ordered it. We could not, however, come to a satisfactory agreement. So he ordered me to meet him at the superintendent's office as he would agreed to do so and went. Principal Reid was there when I reached the office and no doubt had prejudiced the superintendent's mind against me. I was asked by the superintendent to explain myself, and so proceeded to do so. Principal Reid disputed all I said. Insisted that I had told only the truth to my self. If I wanted to make Principal Reid a liar, I said I only wanted to speak the truth for myself. The superintendent ordered me to shut up on my office. I told him that I would go out.

I did so and at the workly teachers' meeting I told the incident that had happened in the presence of Principal Reid and that he had offered no protest, no pro- tection at all.

Newsboy and Dealer in Argument Start a Crowd Beata Two Policemen—Reserves Fire Resolvers New York, April 19.—A little 14-year-old boy, James Williams of 40 West 135th street, got into an argument with News Dealer Mich last Sunday about noon. As a result two men were locked up, two policemen were hurt, the reserves from the 88th procline were called out, the news dealer's business for the day was done and a crowd of many hundreds were disrupted, police hiring their revolvers in the air. According to the news dealer, who is white, the boy who sometimes stands around the subway station, where Mich's stand is situated, selling gum and papers, stole eight copies of a Sunday morning paper. He is known among the boys as "Cuba," denied stealing the papers, and claimed to have purchased them at another news stand. Mich, however, could not corroborate the boy's assertion, and insisted on the return of his lost papers. Hy this time a large crowd had collected, and according to the news dealer, urged the boy on in the argument. Policeman Jeremiah Smith, attracted by the crowd, attempted to settle the argument, whon, he claims, Robert Smith, 504 Lenox avenue, 48 years old, died. Smith under arrest, starting off down 135th street to the police station. The crowd, now numbering hundreds, attempted to take Smith away from the policeman, and soon had the officer down, being severely Reserves to scene In the meantime, someone telephoned to the station, and the reserves, to the number of thirty-five, came down 135th street. Besides having Officer Smith hard pressed by Police Harpomites and also faced by the attempt to jump, who came to the first policemea's rescue, back against a building. They were in this ticklish position when rescued by the reserves. After several shots had been fired in the alp the crowd huddled dispersed. The police officer was Charles Austin, who said he lived at 183 West 134th street. Policeman James Mohan claims he requested Austin to move on, and when he refused the policeman placed him under arrest. Austin resisted arrest, and a militant officer says the prisoner bit his hand. Before Ministrate Blou in the night court Austin, who was charged with foliolons assault, was held for Special Sessions, and Robert Smith, who was charged with disorderly conflict, was charged to ten days in the workhouse. These riots are always unfortunate, but must seemingly occur every once in a while. The only solution for their extinction is policemen of our own kind. A police officer says the move is encouraged by the authorities and our men on the force no real peace will abound in Harlem. Infant Child Burns to Death New York, April 19—Left alone while their mother, Mrs. J. Jackson of 570 Lenox avenue, went out to do some shopping, two older children, playing in the fire, a department causing the death of Alexander, a 9-month-old child. The children set fire to a lace curtain, and soon the flames were spread throughout the floor. Becoming armed with the fire, the fire was soon extinguished and the firemen, in looking over the burnt flat, found the little child under the bed, where he had apparently rolled, his little hand up to his chest. Dr. Greenberg responded to an ambulance call from Harlem hospital and pronounced the child dead from burns and suffocation. The body was brought to the 58th precinct station house, where he was returned on half hour later and found her home a wreck she became hysterical.

BOX 36 NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN NEWS German Propagandist Arrested; Plotting Disloyalty New York, April 19.—The Department of Justice last week announced the arrest of Max Freudenheim, an insurance collector, charged with plotting to disloyalty among our Races in Harlem. Freudenheim, who lived in the Bronx, would engage people in conversation about the war and would advise them not to be loyal, nor to subscribe to Liberty Loans, buy thrift stores. His arrest occurred, so Mr. Charles F. De Woody, chief investigator of the Department of Justice said, as the direct result of telling an elderly woman the Race would be better treated should Germany win the war. The Department of Justice and investigator Davidson was sent out to make the arrest. Freudenheim was remanded to the Essex county jail in Newark, pending a full inquiry into the case. At the office of Mr. Woody, on the fourteenth floor in the New Park Row building, was informed that much more data concerning a believed organized propaganda to spread disloyalty among the Races in New York had been gathered, but could not be made public as yet. Eleventh Annual Martin Recital Eleventh Annual Martin Hecital New York, N. Y., April. The annual Martin Hecital, music director of the Martin Smith Music School of 139 W. 163th street, N.

Each year pupils bring together its forces at a public exhibition for the double purpose of raising funds for the free charity department and all the same time showing the work of the school. The school orchestra of 100 members will be assisted by the celebrated choir of ninety voices of St. MARK's M. E. church and the ballet class of the school. During the works to be performed will be the overture Fergon-Beethoven, the G. Minor Symphony of Mozart, the Eighth Concerto of Rhode for solo, violin and orchestra. McFarland's setting of Shakespeare's Ode to Spring for chorus and orchestra. Exhibition of the ballet class in the nesthetic, athletic and interpretive dements. The Fourth Concerto of Rubenstein for solo, piano and orchestra. The attendance of last year's recital reached the 3,000 mark and from the outlook it may safely be predicted this year's crowd will be a record breaker. Many Women Taking Porter Jobs Brooklyn, April 19—The Brooklyn Rapid Transit is putting on women as porters very rapidly. The women seem to like this exceptionally objectionable job for a woman is a mystery. This work is dirty and the pay small, while many opportunities for work of a more lucrative and certainly more rewarding nature for women—opportunities such as factory workers, etc., heretofore unheard of. A Defender man recently watched a woman clean a station cuspidor and later at another station saw one of these women porters sweeping down a litter filled street at the Duffield street station of the Fulton street elevated line. A number of cigar butts, expectation and the like were among the stuff this woman was calmly sweeping up to the amusement of the crowd. A number of white women, who stood curiously by and watched the work. Lured to Roof and Robbed New York, N. Y., April 13.—Matthew Jones, a butler of 155 W. 139th street, was robbed of a $130 in cash, a gold watch and a $132 pin on the roof house at 133rd street near Lenox avenue. His cries attracted the attention of police, which resulted in the arrest of Haymond Mason, a chauffeur of 2164 with the wife. Jones accuses Mason as the killer of the wife, and had been lured to the roof under the pretense that a woman whom he was searching for would be found there. Three other men are said to be implicated in the murder. Mason was held under $2,500 bail. The police claim the scheme to be an old one constantly operated in Harlem.

Striking Hard in N. Y. Rent Fight New York, April 19.—For a long time the people of New York, especially those residing in the "metropolis of Harlem," have been staggering under a burden that has grown heavier and heavier each year, until it has now become so unbearable its victims are lying from sheer financial exhaustion. This burden let you the reasonable rent charged by honest landlords from which to derive a just return on the monies invested in their properties, but the unjust, extortionate rentals imposed by a designing, consisting band of exploiting, blood-sucking, and ruthless payers as legitimate prey upon whom to perpetrate their depreciations. The rent payers of New York are enlisted in a finish fight against the ring of real estate speculators and exploiters, who, Captain Kidd-like, have going into the pockets of their vices. When the battle is over one of two principles shall have triumphed—the establishment of justice, equality and democracy in matters in rent as between tenants, and forever doing away with the unjust and inequitable tax imposed upon them, or success of the landlord. The wrong shall not triumph; instead their forces must be shattered—routed; and they will be, if every rent payer rallies to his own defense under the banner raised in his boulh by the Universal Negro Protective Co-operative Association, moved by the state government. Our gallant troops fighting upon the battlefields of Picardy, France, are giving their lives in no juster cause than the one in which our people are engaged in New York to free themselves from the serfdom imposed upon them by greedy landlords. Samuel A. Duncan, president of the association, the following clear statement was obtained: "The causes underlying the high rents charged Negro tenants and the modus operandi of these landlords are well known. Whenever a landlord a piece of property occupied by white tenants finds himself about to lose his property to the mortgagors, he turns out his write tenants and installs Colored ones in their stead. As the white tenants move out and the Colored ones are propelled by some automatic device, anywhere from $5 to $15 per apartment. Simultaneously the quality of the service begins to decline and continues so until within a year or so there is practically no service at all. The tenants are allowed to get out of order and the tenants are forced to mount five to seven tights of stairs to reach their apartments. A new junior is usually employed to look after the premises upon the advent of the Colored tenants. His stairs are paid to the old junior and the services he performs are accordingly much less. It soon becomes noticeable that the sidewalk is neglected and the entrance and stairs are unswept and unwashed except on one day of the week. In the basement, to the discomfort of the tenants and a menace to their health. These conditions exist in spite of the fact that the landlord receives more rent from his Colored tenants from his white ones, and should there be one in a position to give better rather than inferior service. Determined to End High Rents "It is to the above unjust and inexcapible state of affairs that the Colleagues of New York are determined to stand secure for themselves lower rent and better living and housing conditions. "Hitherto there have been individual attempts to fight the unfair exactions of the landlords, but as is the case of all individual and unorganized efforts, the landlord has not naught. Also, in the past, the societies that are supposed to represent our people in such matters as this have contented themselves with making 'investigations' by smooping into the private affairs of people and at the end of issue 'statistics' in pamphlet form, shearing the many extent of their investigations. These statistics are intended for the benefit of the philanthropically inclined white folks, whose money maintains these societies. But the rent burden has continued as irksome as ever, and the housing conditions under which the people of the city live remain just the same. "But the time of individual, unorganized effort has passed. The time for concerted action has arrived. The Negroes are aroused. They are now alive to the fact that in the matter of high rent they are exploited and penalized by unscrupulous landlords on account of their color. And so standing in solidarity with them, Universal Negro Protective and Co-operative Association and the Chicago Defender, they are resolved to force the landlords to release their strangle hold of them and to compel a reasonable reduction of the rent charged them. By a reasonable reduction we mean at least $5 per apartment. If this reduction can be forced it will mean a saving of $10,000 to the $150,000 families of $750,000 annually. This sum is worth fighting for. The amount will look just as good in the pockets of the people as in those of the unconscionable landlords. High Rents and Buffet Plates The fact that high rents—higher rents than the salaries received by the victims of this form of extortion—tend to undermine moral safeguards and foster conditions not in consonance with social norms, can lead to a conflict between buffet rents and high rents. The latter breeds the former. More; unreasonably high rent forces respectable families to submit portions of their property to persons of whom they know little or nothing about the infrequently disturbing and disrupting factors and destroyers of the peace and harmony that ought to pre- SITUATIONS WANTED—MALE MUSICIAN-PLAYS DUBBLE BASS VIOLIN; wishes engagement with professional orchestra; own instrument.

To meet the high rent their homes are turned into miniature lodging houses. All these morally enervating conditions will be eliminated when rentals have been reduced to a figure commensurate with the average income of people live and the services they receive. It is a moral crime for us to be forced to pay out of lower wages and limited opportunities higher rent for the same number of rooms, but with poorer accommodations than with the same amount upon to pay rent. It is general knowledge that landlords were first led to get rid of their white tenants by our real estate agents—that they are the ones who opened the eyes of the landlords to the possibilities of swollen incomes on their heavily mortgaged properties by the landlords. But these "pioneer" real estate agents of our Race, these traitors to the Race who have soiled their hands with filth here and who are responsible in large measure for all of the sufficiencies that our people have in their real estate agents of exploiting landlords, will be shown in their true colors during the progress of the campaign.

If there has ever been any doubt as to to the ability of the actors of the Race to present, in proper manner, the sensational and emotional drama which are such a large part of things the theatrical day of the parade on Monday night at the Avenue Theater when the famous La Sagrada Flower Co. of New York opened their engagement with a wonderful presentation of celebrated drama, "Madame X." The tional drama which are such a large part of the show today; it was dispelled on Monday night at the Avenue Theater when the engagement fayette Stock Co. of New York opened their engagement presentation of the celebrated drama, "Madame X." The show right here, was a representation. Tony Langston tive one, many of Chicago's most prominent people occupying seats at this theater, and the handsome house to the doors. The work of the famous group of performers was a revolution to the skeptics with the fine record which has been made by them during the two years and a half which they have occupied the Eunisette Theater, New York. The other, a brilliant Michel qualifies her as the best of all of our emotional actresses, and the many different phases of character both impressive and convincing. Called upon to run the gamut of every emotion that a life such as that led by the unfortunate outcast of the stage, he justified the reputation which preceded her in this line of work. In the trial scene her best opportunities came, and she held the large workable work. There were few dry eyes in the house at the finish, which is as much a tribute to the art of the stage as efficient in the husband and himself in the graftying manner that might have been expected of him, and the same can be said of "Babe" Townsend as the husband of husband, Inez Cough, as Rose, the mud; Susie Sculpe, as Marie, and Lillian Gillam as the sweetheart of the son, were the clerk of the court. Will A. Cough as the griff president of the court, played his part well, and A. B. DeCornhoudt, shown the versatility by playwright Brutal, brutal paranoid, and Valmorin. Two unique characters, Parissard and Merval, adventurers, lent enough comedy to the scenes, and were creatively handled by the two popular favorites, J. Francis Mora and Walter Robinson. Some of the scenes were done by Charles Olden, who played the part of Raymond, the young lawyer unconsciously defending his own mother of the charge of murder. His plea for the court was dramatic efforts after the trial until the finish of the piece were remarkable. It is a great show and well presented. George Smith, and including Chester Lee, Hugh Swift, Walter Mays, William Garland and Emma Smith, is good GOOD BILLS AT GRAND AND MONOGRAM THEATERS The Grand When it was announced that the Grand Theater would have a big minisrael for the present week and hand it off the well-known master hand of the well-known all hands were satisfied that something entirely above the ordinary would be its conjecture was not a miss, as the all hands were composed of the cream of the Rhoeas' performers along that line, sure showed that the conjecture was correct.

Nulsance and Gen. Delivery (Tom Cross and Tim Department and new jokes and comedy bers had the house by the ears from start to finish. Andrew Tribble, introducted with his son Myrna, was a big hit with his son, Myrna, and took his full share of hand at the finish; Andy always was a great Grand Chorus, singing chorus. Here We Are. Uncle Sam, much for the quality of the chorus as The bill here the last half of the past week had Adams & Maxey, a clever team of boys who have the piano as an some real singing and good comedy act.

The famous vaudouville net, Luci Contes & Crackerjacks, is the featured attraction with a week of performances and a week at the Casino. This act's reputation is being upheld in this engagement, the work of the turn cause-shift show of a sensation at all performances. The show was never seen to better advantage her songs and dances going over in wonderful style. The Crackerjacks, ability, offer a result of speed and dances that causes an uproar and the climax at the finish has every one standing. The Wonder Show itself is a celebration of the season offings, and aside from the work by the clever principals engaged, the handsome and efficient chorus is deserving of the greatest praise.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER "THE WARRIOR" Maciste, the mighty marvel of strength and agility, has in "The Warrior" one of the best vehicles that could hold a sword for his almost miraculous strength and his quiet, inimitable humor. Those who saw Maciste as the Giant of Cabrinha, the most formidable productions of filmmad, will remember his wonderful physical development, and this picture, which comes to the Teleford Theater, for one day only, SUNDAY, JULY 15, might feats of strength from the beginning until the end of the seven reels, and interspersed throughout are little instances that serve as a relief to the hair breathtaking adventures, the overcoming of seemingly insurmountable difficulties, and the things it is an Italian production made in Italy, and a short synopsis follows: During the first advance against Italy by Austrian troops a large number of inhabitants are captured, among them a man in an old stable. By a ruse Maclise overpowers the guards and the prisoners escape. They find refuge in the castle Potolingo, owned by an Italian company. By a ruse Maclise draws the attacking forces away from the castle in time to give the prisoners a chance to escape. Later he joins the army and is assigned to the Alpine troops. He resides in the castle, where he is stating that the count would pay the penalty, now that he, the count, is in the hands of the Austrians. Maclise, single handed, enters the Austrian army together with three others, and returns to the Italian regiment with his prisoners. Learning that the count is held a prisoner in his own home, Maclise, makes a raid and rescues the old man just in time to save the daughter from an attack by one of the officers.

IN A PAIR OF QUEENS Next Week—BRANDED PHOENIX THEATRE "WOMAN AND THE LAW" The struggle of a woman for her child and the lengths to which she will go for its protection are pictured with tremendous dramatic intensity. In the William Fox playplay, some women are drawn to the attraction at the States theater Saturday and Sunday of this week. It comes by special permit, so there will be no one under 21 admitted. Written and staged by R. A. Walsh, the brilliant display of the forces it presents the picture of timely and pertinent interest to everyone. Based on the internationally sensationally De Saulieu case, which so shocked the United States and South Africa, it is hard to believe every home in the country, it is said, the thrilling moment when the woman, who has slain for the sake of her child, faces the jury which is to decide her life.

After a child is born to them he soon wearies and makes life hideous for her. His escapades with notorious women have taken him to take her child from her. Then the elemental passions leap to the surface, she kills him, and is forced to face the It. It is left to the jury to decide her fate. The jury is forced before them is the question that this play places squarely before every person who sees it thrown on the screen: Are there provinces which justify it? And the jury decides in a scene that who was the one who记忆 of every one whoggs it. "THE LION'S GLAWS" Marie Walcamp, who has been seen at the States in several of the most popular serials, is creating what is but a fictional hero her marvelous work in the new great serial-feature, "The Lion's Claws," which is being run every Monday night in this popular house.

Speculative Investments are those securities offered to the Public by Corporations or Firms which propose to use your money to try out some idea or plan they have in mind and "think" will succeed. In other words, they doubt their ability to do as they claim, but, however, are willing to give it a tryout if you will furnish the money—PURE GAMBLING. Non-Speculative Investments are the securities offered to the Public by Corporations or Firms which have made a success (whole or in part) with their own money, and ask you to join them and help push an already successful business. These men used their own private funds—took all chances of speculation themselves. All the elements of risk, other than that which accompanies all business no matter how good, have been eliminated. NO GAMBLE IN THIS. Success is merely a matter of organization, efficiency, supply, demand and capital. Furnishing the capital by purchasing their shares of common capital stock (a real ownership interest), in a worthy Non-Speculative Corporation, is an ideal form of investment for the average Race member who has a limited amount of funds for investment.

Barrier of Prejudice Removed at Big Theater at Denver, Colo. Denver, Colo., April 19. - For the first time, the Lincoln Motor Picture Co.'s downtown movie hall's street, members of the Race were admitted to buy any seat in the house, the occasion being the showing of the famous Lincoln Motor Picture Co.'s movie hall, two days later, two days.

FANY14 AC513 12,000 Fans See Lincoln Giants in Double Victory Olympic Flold, April 19—Twelve thousand fans turned out to see the Lincoln Giants in the third game of the season last Sunday. The Giants played in their old form, with Lloyd and Hall, who just returned home, covering their old spot. But Lincoln did great work by defeating the College Point team by a score of 5 to 0 in the first game. The final game was with the Ironsides. During the early part of the fray Tom Williams pitched five innings, and then was succeeded by Cockrell. The youngster had the Toughest innings, and thousands of the fans jumping and throwing their hats in the air. They were much pleased with the wonderful work of Cockrell. He is a good pitcher, and if he keeps it up, retaining his coolness, he is certain to make good. He ap- Community Basket Ball League Last Friday night the Doolittle playground basketball ball team succeeded in breaking the tie for the first place in the Community league when they downed the Lincoln S. S. team by the score of 7-2. This is the second time that the two teams have played, at both of which Doolittle has defeated Lincoln. The Employed Boys' team forfeited their game to Shiloh S. S. team by not showing up. On Friday night Bethel will play St. Mark's team and Boean will play the brothers. The public is invited to witness these games, as well as a talk on Y. M. C.

A. boys' basket ball teams ran wild again last Saturday night, defeating three of the fastest boys' teams in the city. The 95-lb Midgets' team starheaded the 95-lb team, the Seward Park 95-lb team, defeating them by a score of 29 to 7. The youngsters passed the ball so fast that it was almost impossible for those on the sidelines to keep up with it. Leon Scott, Glanton and Vason wore helmets that will, although they were closely guarded by men who outweighed them 5 pounds or more to a man. Scott lead with the honors, with Vason second and Glanton third. Plummer and Cress, for the Y boys, played the defensive game that they played against the Wahash floor by any set of guards. The 105-ib Maroons went out of their class and took on the 115-ib team from Seward Park, defeating them by the score of 30 to 6. Ray Patterson again lead with seven points. Waddell followed closely on his heels with four baskets and one free throw. Maurice Bowles proved to be too fast for Seward Park's boys. He would follow the ball time and time again down under his basket for a shot and then get back to his position as guard. He was the leading team. Whenever the ball was passed toward Seward's basket you would find Eugene Woods up on his toes and receiving the pass, returning it to Patterson at center. Ball's man had the reach on him, still he succeeded in out-jumping the most of the 115-ib thus giving Wabash the advantage over the Park had. The big surprise of the night came from Crawford's Pick-Ups, when they defeated the All-Star High School team from Hyde Park by the score of 6 to 1. Dan Dempster handled the ball like old dimers. The High School boys were sure of victory, but the good work of Lyman Stone and Hyman Johnson at guard proved to be their stumbling blocks. Next Saturday the Maroons will meet the 125-lb team to make it 18 victories to 1 loss for the season. The Pick-Ups will play the 125-lb team from the same park. Line-up: Midgets. B F P T F.

Floyd Booker of last year's Dayton Marcos was the only one signed up on last Sunday of the new men out. peared to the fans as a professional, instead of a novice. It was a real pitching exhibition between Tom Williams and Cockrell. The team threw and rain of Saturday, the sun came out early Sunday morning and fixed up the diamond for a real baseball game. The crack bromides, who played sensational ball for years, demonstrated so much skill that George Baxton, the "lided" rooter for Lincoln, could be heard for nine city blocks. Everybody is anxious to hear him root. The Lincoln Giants are not yet set to play for the season; many of their players have joined other teams. The score: LINCOLNS Ab. R. H. O. A. E.

Our first president, O. Rich, starts this year for his first time in the club tournament. Mr. Franslouis is quietly holding his own and saving his speed to win. He is owing to his road trips, has not had much practice and needs to whip up if he would come down the stretch with the bunch. E. Thomas has gone to Hot Springs, Ark., to take the C. O.

CASE OF LIEUT, TRIBBETT WILL BE INVESTIGATED Department of Justice Asked to Report What Redress Army Officer Has for Arrest Washington, D. C., April 19.—The Department of Justice has been asked by the War Department to investigate the case of First Lleut. Charles A. Tribbett of the national army and reaction legal redress he has for the action of Oklahoma in arresting and prisoning him for alleged violation of the state "jim crow" law. Lleut. Tribbett is from New York and graduated from the colored officers' training camp in Iowa, and assigned to duty with troops at Camp Upton, Yaphank, L. I. While on that duty, the records of the War Department show, that recently he was convicted by the usual means of transportation to the post at Fort Sill, Okla., for instruction and education. When the train on which he was traveling stopped at a station near Chickasaw, Okla., it was boarded by a sheriff and party, who arrested Tribbett and the regulation military uniform, for riding in a car with white people. Arrested in Spite of Protest In spite of his protest that he was an officer of the United States army, traveling under orders on government business, Tribbett was forcibly removed from the car and imprisoned in the county jail and subsequently fined. Following an appeal to the War Department, Tribbett was released and permitted to return his journey to Fort Sill, where he is now. His friends, including George W. Crawford of New Haven, Conn., and Robert L. Fortune of Chickasaw, Ohio, his attorney, protested to the War-Department through Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, against the mistreatment to which Lieut. Tribbett has been subjected, and from the first, assurances were given by Mr. Scott that the matter would be passed over War Deputy. These friends have contended that Lieut. Tribbett was an interstate passenger, trailing under orders on government business and was not subject to the jurisdiction of the state authorities.

E. Williams of the 15th Battalion, which was very inspiring and along racial lines, the big game was on. The machine was first to appear and was followed by the squall of the Blue and White, which was also given an equal greeting, routine instructions by Referee Ferdinand Accoe, and the whistle blew. Gilmore outreached H. Jenkins in the tap of which Rhone took, losing the ball to fat Jenkins. Play after play was broken up, both teams not winning, and the first five minutes of play. Many fouls were committed by both sides, Gilmore finally scoring the first foul basket for Alpha. Team work and defense on both sides were equally divided, and it was easy to see that the game would be taught to a finish, as Alpha was displaying a brand of basket ball that wins games and their crimination to trim the manchine once more was the handwriting on the wall. The first half ended 12 to 4 in favor of Alpha. The cheering sound to both sides kept the audience amused during the resting period with their songs and club yells. Henry Wilson of the moonlight ship fame, leader of the Alpha cheer squad seemed to have an equipment he was equipped with a megaphone. The beginning of the second half started with as much vigor and vim as the first half, and the rest, which naturally is welcomed by a team that is tired, helped the machine wonderfully, as they had been completely played off their feet. Fat Jephthus and G. Flall, who was kept well guarded by Alpha in the first half, were not stopped until the score was 16 to 4. At this stage of the game Phone was replaced by Perry, who lasted five minutes. Capt. Gilmore replacing him with Slocum, a protege of Bill Maldon, who recently cast his lot with Alpha. Gilmore made a strategic move by sending in Slocum, as he was responsible for two field haskets which took 12 to 4 feet, one of which was a one-handed throw from a most difficult angle. The machine tried their utmost in the final few minutes of play, but to no avail, as Alpha had their number. The game ended by the score of 15 to 19. After the final whistle Alpha rooters rushed on the floor, surrounded Slocum, seized him, and placed him on their shoulders, parading the Casino. Another hit up the lively stubble blues, the game was forgotten and the dance was on. It was one of Harlem's biggest nights. The score: ALPHA P. C. C. Points. F—L.

FARDONED BY GOVERNOR Ralgeh, N. C., April 19—Gov. Bickett extended clemency to Albert Lytle, a well known citizen of Burke county, convicted of assault, with a deadly weapon and incarcerated to pay a fine of $50 and serve three days in jail. Some thirty-six representative citizens of Morgantown, where the prisoner was prominently connected, including the mayor, appealed to the governor to pardon Lytle. Lytle was asked by a local officer to take two young white men to prison, which he did reluctantly. After the white men were released from the prison they staged publicly that they intended to get the "migger" who assisted in the arrest. Upon hearing of these threats Lytle armed himself and when attacked the men were sliding judge refused to let Lytle go after paying a fine, because he had shot a white man.

For weeks and weeks the fans have been praying for the opening day to be warm enough for a good crowd, and the old weather man was good, for the day was fair and the crowd was wonderful.

Goe it was a regular midseason affair. The Giants got away with two runs in the lead, then the white lads tied it up and of course the fans went wild, for the Giants came through in the lucky second and pulled off some of their inside stuff, raising Cain with the visitors. Whithworth Fans Thirteen Bobby Williams, Whitworth and Grant were the idols of the fans. The first showed that he was there with his arm and that Jess Barber will have a hard time in keeping the sprinting team together during the game. It would have been fourteen, but Goeckel went to sleep on one right in the center of the plate, which looked like a beauty. Grant played a stellar game at the initial sack. His barchained pickup was a round of applause from the crowd. Giants Hit Well One true fact that the game brought out was that the Giants can hit. They are in midseason form and the fans expect bans-up ball all season. With the Giants coming off the road they went about it just like a co-chef had been schooled in leadership. A military aspect was given to the game by a mingling of soldier boys from Camp Grant, who applauded the team's leader of sailors from the Great Lakes training station who enjoyed the game. All in all it was an ideal welcoming GREEN'S SECOND SACKER ```markdown ``` Thurman Jennings, the star second sacker of Joe Green's Chicago Giants, who open their season Sunday at Auburn Park.

She was the most everything with the least exertion to herself. All she demanded of her husband was money. She did not care to help with him again, but he must pay it for her. She was not bored by bore his name. She was not satisfied with the present amount of alimony and, while testifying, she gazed with envy at the woman she seemed much pleased with her whole appearance. She could not be blamed for that, for a love of the beautiful woman, for a bright birthlight; possession of the woman she loved. Hers is the liberty to enjoy the sunshine and the starlight.

It is the common lot of constancy to be treated cruelly, while the deepest love is bestowed upon the fickle nature, but or ever know that such a word can long know that as the bird answers the call of its mate, the ory of the heart will appeal first to him.

I put in heating stoves in the bedrooms, "The upstairs apartments rent for $4.00 per week. Those downstairs bring $3.50, because the stairway cuts into the room from one room in each. So many folk come in and help me. I save fees, which must be borne in mind when I speak of profits. But I go there myself, and know every tenant, I know their troubles; and I know what they want. I wait for the rent. They always pay it later. I have hardly lost a dollar." "And it pays—in money?" "I clear ten per cent on my investment. Yet I rent three rooms and bath for less than two poor rooms rent for all about me. I have put $11,000 into four new houses on the vacant land. All the apartments are three-roomed; the house which is bad, morally and physically. This last investment pays as well as the first. My tenants stay with me. They take good care of the property, which are rarely empty, even for a few days." "The bathrooms hold them—those and the hot water. They do like to be clean. It's not to house them in its not to house them in our conscience with the notion that they're dirty and shiffless. Go out and get acquainted with your tenants, I say, and give them a chance to folk and in money, so you've tried and proved it for myself." JAMES COLE DEAD St. Louis, Mo., April 19.—James T.

CLASSIFIED AND REAL ESTATE ABVERTIGING To Real Estate — ’ Agents and Owners ———— ee Moving Time Is Near As springtime has always caused people to seek new haunts, we predict that this year will be one of the greatest in history. Owing to the draft, many wives of the men for the National Army have gone to their rela- tives, and houses and flats will become va- cant. You can’t afford to have your property left idle, bringing you in no income. Other folks are seeking to buy. Labor is short; men are making as high as five, six, seven and eight dollars a day, This they know will not last forever, and they are making hay while the sun shines. They are being urged by their ministers and leaders to buy prop- erty. : Thousands of out-of-town people will come here this summer—the majority to stay. They have money and will buy. They do not wish to wait unti! they reach the city to start - to look for first class owners and agents. * The real estate page of the Chicago Defen- der is the best medium to reach the people. ~ Its wide circulation will bring you returns. It’s a big opportunity that you are letting go to waste. See Our Business Manager a CHICAGO DEFENDER . AT, 3159 STATE STREET .

MIGRATION AND ITS EFFECT VARIOUS ESTIMATES have been made of the number of people; who have ere the South ior other parts of the country in the past eighteen twonths, the figures ranging from 500,000 to 2,000,000. Whatever the! number. it was great enough to upset the labor field in this country and establish us a permanent factors in the economic world. Naturally, we sav suppl and denuand regulate everything, and in a great measure, it is true, the war came and leit a great gap in the industries of the North, East and West, When hops, mills and factories close“for want of labor, the} packechonks of the owners stuier, and when « man’s pocketbook is touched everything ele is forgotten in the mad rush to replenish it. “With foreign immigration cut off and no prospect of being able to| thaw on foreiza countries for labor for some years to come, the captains of indutt:y LOWERED ‘THEIR GLASSES, AND INSTEAD OF LOOK- ING OVER OUR HEADS, AS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING FOR, YEARS. GAZED DIRECTLY AT US AND, CATCHING OUR. YE. BECKONED ‘TO US TO COME TO THEM, SHOWING A PICTURE “THE WHILE THAT LURED US ON. “THOUSANDS LPET THEIR SUNNY SOUTHERN HOMES with. bittersweet, nutty the bitter, memories. Anxiety was felt on all sides. The employers vi the rest of the country were experimenting with what the South has pro- tonpeed x iailure. “They were experimenting, not because they wished co prove that the South was in error, but because it was either the black work- hen or ne workmen at all, and between the two evils they wisely chose to have workmen, ‘The back workmen left the South with trembling and fear. ‘They were zeing-—they didn’t know where—amang strange people, with strange custutts, “The people who claimed to know best how to treat them painted irichtinl pictures af what would beiall the migeators if they left the land ot cotton and aver cane, But they left in droves, are still leaving, and only a few have returned. ‘The eect has been to paralyze the industries ot the South, while the ather secziors ni the country have prospered. ‘The experiment proved a success, NECESSITY MADE THE WHITE AND} THE BLACK WORK SIDE BY SIDE WITHOUT FRICTION, A FEAT THE SOUTH SAID COULD NOT BE PERFORMED, ‘There is no denving the fact that prejudice is rife everywhere; but we, Kke other animate persons and things, follow the line of least resistance. What bas been established for several hundred years cannot he broken down ina day. “There is a long fight still ahead of us—a fight with brains, not brawn. Our entrance into the economic world sounds the death knell of discrimination and oppression. We must hold fast every inch we have gained, remembering always the many are judged by the few in our case, ‘There is such a thing as STAYING IN ONE PLACE TOO LONG, and while the ralling stone never gathers any moss, when it stops rolling "VIS MORE POLISHED THAN WHEN IT BEGAN. ‘The scat tering of the South’s shaded population all over the country is a real bless ing. “Every day fresh evidence of this fact is apparent. THE WHITE MAN SELKS THE FARTHEST CORNERS OF THE GLOBE IF| HE THINKS UWE CAN BETTER HIMSELF, WHY SHOULD WE, NOT DO LIKEWISE? | Closo of the Campbell Case —— THE CURTAIN IS DRAWN, at least for the present, in the fa-| suauy “Chicken Joe” Campbell ease. “The death penalty had been imposed by the lower and sustained by the higher court, nearly a half dozen dates| thal been set for the execution and as many reprieves ranted. More than! ordinary interest was attached to this case irom the very beginning. The} vietim was the wife of the warden of the penitentiary at Joliet, the sus- pected man it “trusty” who enjoyed the privileges of the institution, It is| wite to say 2 great majority of the people who have given the matter any’ trention believe the man innocent, but the courts held a different view, and he man was doomed. ‘Then came the fight to, at least, save his life, and here a picture of loyalty, selt-saerifice and adherence to a principle is displayed that seldom tinds place in this day and time. Campbell, already a prison convict, needed inoney. needed friends ta present his side of the story. Both came, with the| result that his life is spared. Though many contributed their mite to the| vase, the names of Mist Amelia Sears of the Women’s City Club, Attor-| ney FL 1., Barnett and Judge Robert McMurdy stand out in bold relief. No sacrifice af time or money was too great for these living examples of the “de uate others as you would bave them do unto you" creed. Little| wonder the biz, broad, generous souls have reached a high plane in life’s| fume atl a high rung on fortune’s ladder. To snuff out 2 life, even’ ivgcly, while there is a shadow of a doubt as to the victim's guilt seems anything bur fair. Ty, as ‘tis said, “time will tell,” who knows but that the future will hold freedom for Joe Campbell? 2, The Value of a Dollar AMERICANS AS A CLASS are the greatest spendthrifta in tho world. ‘The ree} value of a dollar {sy unknown to them, The coln of the realm comes easy, aid gers Just as easy. ‘The mad rush for gold that 4 a part and parcel or Americans ix nat dun to the desire te hoard it in a miserly way to look at— it is soucht only for what st wil buy; Cor the comforts, necessities and plows ures i will bein.

Peaco of mind Is worth something. ‘The man wha lives within his means, who If he makes two dollars a day saves one—the ian who rik only what ho can afford to tose; in ‘other words, the man wha prepares for the proverbial “rainy day"—is the only man who gets real enjoyment out of life. Secrotary MeAdoo hit tho nail on the head When he sad: “The American peopl are not suMctently aroused to the necessity of eronomy and saving.
