J. Asberry, trained us on our mission against the exhibition of this film here, and as a result of their conceived effort to deal a death blow to the painted life, the owners of Liberty House, in where the picture was being shown, were ordered to discontinue showing the picture. Mrs. N. J. Asberry of Nation first made its appearance the very day the government launched the third Liberty Loan drive. When citizens learned that the picture was being displayed in the subscription to the loan, presumably due to the fact that the film was branded as an evil influence to the establishment of wealth and immature steps were taken to rid the owners of its vile purpose. Every attention was turned from the Liberty Loan campaign for a few days until the city officials had taken action restraining the thieves from exhibiting the corrupted picture. Maj. Gen. Greene Takes Action A citizen's committee composed of H. I. Adams, J. A. Ashley and J. A. G. Washington appealed to Maj. Gen. Greene at Camp Lewis to use his influence to stop the exaggerated photo- lay. In a statement to the committee he said, "I am not going to show this picture. The birth of a Nation, serves any necessary educational or moral purpose, while on the contrary I am convinced that its appeal is to protect the rights of the people, that every effort should be put forth to destroy any factors that tend in any way to cause discord in our country, especially at this very critical moment for man rights and democracy in the Rev. Keator, bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church, also denounced the picture and promised any assistance to the committee which he could give in order to prevent the picture from not interfere in the case, saving that it was a matter strictly in charge of the city officials. But as soon as the city officials learned of the general's attitude toward the picture they acted immediately and the picture ceased to show. Citizens Praise Mrs. Asberry When the final notice was given that the film has been suppressed, patrol officers are asked to Mrs. Asherry for the part she had taken in behalf of her Race and the community. She spared no time and did much to prevent the unjust photoplay, and did much to stir the prominent white citizens to action. The activities of this committee will still be as a permanent part of all photoplays that are headed this way. Philadelphia, Pa., April 26—Harry Green, well known in town, living at 8802 Ashwood avenue, while driving an Ashwood bridge 100 feet into the Schuylkill river at Gray's Ferry road early Saturday morning, sinking into thirty feet of water.

THE Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY The Young Women's Christian Association girls knitting for the boys "over there" in the parlors of the Y. W. C. A. building in New York city. --- Celebrate 40th Anniversary Dr. Griffin Presidea get together in song and speech, that a greater interest might be manifested by our people in the Third Liberty Loan and Governor Speak Mayor Harry Mendenhall, in a short talk, told of his own personal knowledge of the patriotism of the Race. "For," said he, "every Colored man up for the draft to come to go, but wanted to take some one else's place, so he might get there quicker, but he could not say as much of Supreme Court Justice J. S. West of Topeka, in a sneaker manner, said in his talk: "Trust, fidelity and loyalty have always been a byword with American Negro and the American white, even though different in color, have the same standards of honor. Let me firmly bond between them by published works of his life, there was not a single case of a Negro isolating the confidence reposed in him." Governor Arthur Capper, though from the hard, arduous work of his life, encounters throughout the state, in the interest of humanity and the war crisis, found time to tell the people: "You should before you忍耐 not as Arthur Capper, the executive of this great state of Kansas, and tell you that the patriotism that American Negro has shown for suppression and all expectations of the world." Simmons in Brilliant Speech The choir of the church and the chorus and orchestra of Western University furnished the music between the bursts of erratory. The governor was for the Col. Simmons, who, when he arose, was given welcome to the band for him alone. His own people and the white people almost rose to greet him. "I heard from the lips of the Chief Justice of this state," said Colonel Simmons. "Warm praise for the devotion of the Choir." The choir of the praise was true to the fact and word he fit for deeds. Nothing in romance can match the behavior of my ancestors in those stirring days. But what shall I say to the children? Can I say that the youth and love that called for the white kindness have found their reward? "Or shall I say, 'Rehold my chains; read the laws that deny my loyal hand the ballot; look through the windows and see my women crouching in the dark?' The great orator in noble derisance of his own Race, His was the eyes of my men and answer, is that the reward my love deserves? Is that the promise fulfilled?" The Race people and the white people of wealth and position seated about him heard the great orator in noble derisance of his own Race. He did not sound a false note, and the white people cheered as often as those of his own Race. "If," said Colonel Simmons, "I can ask my people to forget their condition; if I can ask my speakers to hold their tongues, I can ask my talker to tell them of my soldier, can ask the mothers of my soldier, can ask the mothers of my soldier, or to tell them tomorrow breaks the chains of night; if I can still my own troubled heart and stand before the rulers with patience as my word, then every other being beneath the flag can well move, and play THE MAN, the grievances and play THE MAN." "How can I join the march on the field or give my measure to the governor, or give me a Jim Crow car and stoned for speaking against my fetters?" pleaded the speaker, and the house resounded with applause. "I speak for twelve million of my Race," he went on; "every one of them came to me this country, and in time of need history, there never was a Negro that betrayed his trust." He no longer thundered forth to his eager listeners, who were carried into realms of the future. Hon. Dorsey Green was master of ceremonies. Three thousand men of Illinois in Class 1, 2,000 of whom will be called from Cook county, will leave for the training camp at Camp Grant, beginning Friday. This number will make a total of over 6,800 men from this state. Different lodges, churches and organizations will give the boys a send-off. Methodists Make Move to Unite Methodists Make Move to Unite Birmingham, Ala., April 26—The possibility of the African Methodist Episcopal church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, and the Colored Methodist Episcopal church uniting organically into one body under the denominational title of "The Methodist Episcopal Church" is not a methodist Episcopal church. Already articles of agreement have been drawn up by a committee appointed by the Tri-Council of Bishops touching the subject. February the question of uniting the three churches was discussed at the Tri-Council of Bishops at Louisville, which plan met with general favor, so much so that a committee was requested to minutely discuss the subject. The committee, composed of prominent churchmen from each church, recently met to plan of unification which is to be submitted to the general conferences of the three denominations. The C. M. E. church will hold its general conference of plan of unification, which is to be submitted to the general conferences of the three denominations. The C. M. E. church will hold its general conference at Knoxville, Tenn., in May 1920. The A. M. E. church will meet at St. Louis in May, 1920, and the A. M. Zion church will hold its general conference at Knoxville, Tenn., in May 1920. Should the three denominations at their quadrennial meetings approve and ratify the recommendations, then they are to be sent for ratification to the three conferences of the three churches. Copies of these recommendations are to be carried by each presiding elder and pastor from the annual conference each pastor is to inform his members that on a certain date, allowing at least 30 days' notice, and not later than 30 days thereafter, that they are involved in the resolution touching union. Three-fourths Vote Necessary Should three-fourths of the members of the annual conferences present and voting, and a majority of the memorial organizations present local or congregation voting, resolution, it shall be declared adopted. If it is found that the number of conferences and congregations necessary for ratification have voted for apportionment of recommendations provide that the three bodies shall be called to convene at such time and place as shall be determined by the Joint commission appointed by the General Conference, to be known as the United General Conference, which will be the same as any legislative body. It is provided in the recommendation to Methodism in the way of doctrinal tenets and constitutions shall be changed; that an agreement be reached to share alike the benefits and liabilities to the union, and that the titles of all properties -now held in the name of each separate organization be transferred to the United Methodist Episcopal Church. The bishops in office at the time of the approval of the articles in the three churches shall continue in accordance with the laws and regulations of bishops in their respective churches. To Exequence Pulits, Duesing Naga. To Exchange Pupils During Negotiations During the period of organic negotiations the committee recommends that the program be as outlined in the blishop Louisville Professor Reid, in School Row, Flees for His Life address be encouraged and in all cases the closest bonds of association and fellowship be maintained between the members of the three churches; that ever possible exchange of pulpits wherever possible be offered; that there be an exchange of ministers to serve as pastors, each pastor to have the same standing in the church, who is sent as was held in the church from the beginning. An exchange of fraternal messengers to annual and district conferences, Sunday school conventions and women's missionary meetings is also suggested, and blasphemy to invite blishops of either denomination to sit and counsel with them at annual conferences. The commissioners who drew up the plan of unification to be submitted to the members of the three churches for ratification were: Bishops L. J. Coppin, W. W. Beckett, H. B. Parks, Elders W. W. Walker, John Harmon, W. S. Carpenter, Lyman J. R. Mawley, P. F. Lykes and Green Jackson of the A. M. E. Church; Bishops C. W. Clinton, J. S. Caldwell, G. C. Clementes, Elders D. E. Jones, J. M. Martin, E. W. and D. Jones, J. M. Martin, F. P. Lykes and Oscar W. Adams of the A. M. E. Zion Church; Bishops S. W. Williams, R. A. Carter, J. W. Cleaves, Elders J. W. Gilbert, R. S. Cleaves, J. W. Gilbert, R. S. Lane, J. A. Leater and W. A. Bell, representing the C. M. E. church. Professor Rei Row, Flee Wilson, N.

Bell, who later became the attorney from the Defender office on W. 135th street, had become quite friendly with our staff and often strolled in for a chat. It was in one of these places that she introduced the Army and his droning of the lines that sounded like "Beans, beans, beans," together with his excellent acting, made one after another. After spending Sunday at the government reservation on Governor's Island, Bell was later taken to Camp Upton. He used his size and tremendous weight will, disqualify him before the army surgeons.

Children in Play Find Body Little Beverly Wilder, 6241 Deanborn street, with several of his playmates, was just in the height of a spit-up charge on the enemy when the police immediately charged the package in paper, which unwrapped its mute tale. The child, terrified at the spectacle, ran and told his mother immediately, the police. The boy wrapped in a cloth, partly bloodstained, then in a clean pill slip, and with an outer wrapping of newspaper. All other evil actions apparently been hidden by a cautious hand. The features of the little faces were drawn and hard, leading the police to suspect the boy poisoning and had suffered untold agony before succumbing. The livid lines and bruises on its body would suggest that the child suffered neglect and abuse. The nonscientific physician as yet has not made public any fact giving substance to either theory. The slow slip which served as a wrapping bowls several initials (a laundry mark) which fact police are hoping will help serve to clear up the case. Also the newspapers used to describe the death that the cadaver was recently committed and that the fugitives are likely to be in the immediate vicinity.

Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of climate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country, South America, the West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mees 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 inducences offered to agents. Special rates to barbers.

Y. April 28—The trial of Herman A. Moller (white), who assaulted William A. Bryan on July 21, 1918, came up in Part 3 of the county court of the county of Kings April 22, before Judge Dyke. For the defense was handled by Counsel F. G. Milligan (white) and Assistant District Attorney Goldstein for the plaintiff. Moller was first to take the stand and one of the first things uttered by him was that he never struck Bryan. He said that he went out of his saloon at the corner of Vanderbilt avenue and Fulton street on the day in question and, that he never struck Bryan. He said that he started away when Bryan asked him what he had struck the boy for, and struck him (Moller), and as he went to strike back his wife ran into the Race, separated them, and after this he started away when Bryan asked him what he had struck the boy for, and struck him (Moller), and as he went to strike back his wife ran into the Race, separated them, and after this he started away when Bryan said: "You had better 'on and attend to your own business,' whereupon he struck her and knocked her down. While he (Moller) was pickled with vinegar, the police whistle and yelled that a nigger had knocked a white woman down. "A stranger ran up and told me to look after my wife and he would see you and then get away and during said time some people from a passing car and ran over to whoh Bryan was, and beat him up." Moller's wife next took the stand and then the son, the policeman who made the arrest, the several other witnesses for the defense. After the testimony of these witnesses was all in Mr. Bryan was called to the stand and as as yet witnesses to the bribery trial gave his testimony. Mrs. Mary Wright, the lady who requested Bryan to separate the boys, and William H. Logan followed Bryan to the stand and as as yet witnesses to the bribery trial gave damaging evidence that Moller had not spoken the truth on the witness stand and convinced Judge Dike to that way of thinking. In counsel for the defense in summing up told the jury that according to the testimony he could not see how they could convict his client and that Bryan was the one he was hearing at the hands of some one else. Assistant District Attorney Goldstein for the plaintiff addressed the jury, saying that it was one of the most difficult cases, that it was full of prejudice and a framework to protect Moller; that the policeman who made the arrest would get his just deserts and that he had with two broken jaws, than he had to fly. Goldstein also made it plain to the jury that he wanted a verdict against Bryan, that he was going to defend Bryan to the last, as he believed him to be innocent. The district attorney further stated that the cry of the country is democracies, that he was chance to show real democracy right in Kings county. He said: "You don't have to go to France or anywhere else to show it. The South is an example. You have to treat the treatment the Colored man gets down but here is one man that I am going to see get justice if it is in my power; look at this man, malmed for life and scars that he will carry to his grave. Before dismissing the jury Judge Dike gave strict orders not to discuss the case among themselves and to re-examine the morning at 10 o'clock (which was not morning at 10 o'clock) Bryan, who was blackjacked by Molee on July 21, 1911, has made a game for more than seven months, unable to eat a mouth, went through four onions, now doing his jaw and is now doing all in his power to unimply the man who tried to kill him.

The results obtained today are remarkable, and they speak highly for the preliminary training which the men received. It has been methodical and thorough. It also speaks splendidly for the new 1917 United States rife, which the men have been better shooting in the National army than that we witnessed. The regiment went to the range each day, and will continue going until army man has been thoroughly tried out. While the Buffaloes awaited their turn on the rifle range they were put on gas mask drill and other maneuvers. The headquarters company, commanding one of the few contains of the Race at Utum, turned in an average of 45. Considering that 50 is the best possible, the figures speak for themselves.

CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS BERVIEW Brooklyn, N. Y., April 26—At a meeting held in the home of George E.

Hollingworth worth $100 million of Howard, Gruban Asylum, reskim Mr. Wood (white), it is said, is entirely out of accord with the committee orphanage, working to re-establish the orphanage, and the committee claims that the idea of a "northern Tuskegee" has taken deep root in the direction of the orphanage, and they believe the institution when the place has become an industrial one. This is paralleled by the committee, who have expressed themselves as wanting "no Jim Crow institution". Before, the only way out of the unfortunate situation, so the committee says, is to have Mr. Wood resign. With a more congenial worker, they are able to re-establish the orphanage can soon be re-established and placed in good working order.

M. TO 11 P. M. PAGE FOUR "You can't judge an actor by his size; the biggest drum in the band plays the fewest notes." "A Pair of Queens," transformed from a real force to a fast working musical comedy by the clever Lafayette Stone Company. Is the clever work Avenida performing. It is in three acts, and is so full of pop that it is hard to keep track of the doings at times. Following the heavy play, last week, "A Pair of Queens" seems inordinately light. The piece shows a beautiful moment of merit, as presented by these noted players, and they have sandwiched into many spots of the hilarious story song numbers of many kids, from a pop-ular "Uliza" to a classic or two. The principal character, Peter Ambrose, is superbly handled by the versatile Tom Tony Langston Tony 'Langston Brown, and he neglects no opportunity of getting all that there is out of the difficult part. Charles Olden, as Sheldon, and the other brothers of the old man, are good, and keeps things running up his efforts to keep the latter out of the clutches of Donock and Haines, two detectives, who are on the trail of a small man. He also looked out. He had a home on a table recent following a shooting and robbery. As these two "bulls," William Sabe Townsend and A. B. De Cernathiere do some good work for the situations worked up by them, being the causing of the extreme. Inez Clough as Mrs. Cranby makes a handsome appearance and has the ability to play the part in a connoisseur's work. He has a little interest in the female sluth and Lilling. Gilmarn as the confidence woman are right up to the standard. Will A. Cooke plays the part of the electrician of the house of the other of the other of the comedy characters in the piece as long as he is in sight. Lionel Monagas and Walter Robinson make convincing looking police officers, and as well as the police force who has the most direct effect of the female roles. Mores does well. The most difficult of the female roles, Martha the Maid, gives Susie Sutton a fine opportunity to display her walk known ability for the work of the first time. The唱er has the laughs out of the part that a finished artist of her cleverness might be expected to, with the result that she lends first aid in the keeping of the house of the house of the house of the house of the players' great ability also that the life and the condition of the following numbers was appreciated the extent of stopping the show for encerred.

Iabe Townsend: "Story Book Ball" and a grand finale by the entire cast. The operatic selection was led by asset-voliced Alice Gorgas and the first two were finished. A group of drama with Acble Mitchell, the stellar role. At the Grand A good bill was shown here the first half of the week, the top line acting Walker & Blackburn. These two boys have one of the fastest singing, talking and interacting skills on the day, and the "hooling" gained almost as much mitt as the clever singing and the dialogue, both of which are far above the average. It is a good time to be a long time ahead. They will surely be heard from in the near future. The famous James Stiers, who have not been seen in vaudeville for a couple of years, have been invited to sing for a long time in a welcome appearance in second spot. They have what might have been expected of them—a clever classy singing act, with plenty of the comedy of the girls so popular in the past, and they were accorded a whole world of well morited applause.

The last half last week held over the Grand All-Star Minstrels, and they continued over popular. It is too bad that the band was not sent next one; they sure had him. Tim Owley remained with his clever single and never enjoyed more popularity, and the band was in line of gab and some original songs that are a near riot. Buster & Eddy, acrobats and head-walkers, and Kelly Ward, a neat singing and talking act, were also in. At the Monogram Popular Sandy Burns and his Ten Stars are playing a return engagement here and are packing them in to steal comedy, "Derby Day in Dixie," and despite the fact that we never have a chance to see a race track during the presentation of the place, we get steal comedy, which is as gratifying as anything that we were looking for when we addressed the pleasant little girl as big a hit as ever, and is without doubt one of the most popular comedians over seen at this house. He has among them Amule Vaughn, princess Mildred Smallwood, soubrette, Fred Hart and Dave Liston, both capable straight men; Milo laugh, among them Amule Vaughn, princess Mildred Martin, Tillee Marshall, Maud Wooden and Charlotte Gardner. Among them are Amule Vaughn and were "Melody Lane," "Mother Dixie and You," "Wearing a Smile," "Derby Day Melody," "South Sea, Island," "Melody Blues" and "Alabam." Special stage settings are carried by the Ten and they sure have some show. They remain for two weeks, with an entire range of routine beginning on Monday.

DODGING A MILLION If there ever was a play thrown on the screen that contained more thrilling mystery than Mabel Normand's first Goldwyn starring vehicle, "Dodging a Million," the authors, Edgar Selwyn and A. M. Kennedy, would like to know it. "Dodging a Million," which is to be shown at the States theater on Sunday of this week, has neither murders nor a heroine. But by a clever unfolding of a novel plot, the interest is kept at high tension to the end. Selwyn is handled from the viewpoint of the heroine, Araebella Flynn, who is an humble dresser in a fashionable modiste shop. The spectator shares her wonder at the mysterious things that happen to her, beginning with her own young man who asks her the name of her mother, father, grandmother and grandfather and then hurries off and meets the complete facts only as fast as possible. Events come thick and fast. An expressman delivers three trunks to her, numbered consecutively, and a letter containing a check for $500 and instructions to open the trunks one by one on consecutive days. The first trunk contains beautiful clothes of the civil war period; the second is filled with jewels, and the third holds bottles of a curious poison that brings death painlessly and instantaneously in three hours after taking. To complicate matters a mysterious, but always polite, Spanlard with unlimited funds, suddenly appears near her and guides her in the purchase of more clothes and jewels, and otherwise helps her to illve the life of a veritable princess. Probably in all the screen career of Nobel Normand she has not had a part that has been as cleverly adapted to her charming personality, or that exhibits in succession the many phases of her histronic ability. "Dodging a Million" is not the adaptation of a stage, play, but was especially written by Edgar Selwyn, the celebrated dramatist and author of "Nearly Married," in collaboration with A. M. Kennedy, to meet the requirements of the little star. ROBINSON & DEWEY Crack Team of Artists Will Be At Grand Theater This Week Jimmy Robinson and Billy Dewey, one of the most popular teams in the Grand theater the last half of the present week. They have been play- ing many dates on the big time and have been making a name where, making for themselves a name THE FIRST WORLD WAR Robinson and Dewoy as a pair of real show stoppers. James B. Robinson has few equals and no superlors as a tenor singer of ballads and topical song numbers, his reputation along that line being great, as is testified to by the manner in which he is paid large sums from time to time by the publishers for using their song hits. He was at one time the head of the Robinson Trio, and has been engaged in theatricals for many, many years. He halls from Baltimore, Md., the town that has given more than its share of classy professionals. Billy Dewey, his partner, is one of the best of the singing comedians of the present, and is a member of a real theatrical family, having talented relations doing their bit to help make the world happy. The act is booked over a long route and this will be Chicagoans' only chance to see them for some time. The above is a likeness of the crackerjack team in harness.

"BRANDED," a Real, Live, Soul-Stirring Drama, at the Avenue Theater Next Week THE CHICAGO DEFENDER "Branded," a soul-stirring drama, which will please the lovers of real dramatic productions even more than did "Madame X," will be presented at the Avenue theater next week with the production of Chicago with its rendition of the latter named play. Although the Quality Amusement Corporation has produced many strong attractions of "Branded," the production it opened at the Fulton theater, New York, this season, and herewith is subservient to the New York Herald, which acquires "Branded, at the Fulton, is described by the management, and a more fitting description of it would be that she prepared a story dealing with the efforts of a daughter to live a life of respectability in spite of the reputation—or rather, lack of reputation—of her mother. The first act shows Miss Christine Norman, as the daughter, happily located in a girl's seminary, an assumed name cloaking her identity and affording her profile. About to become crushed by the bravery of the girl, all the daughter's hopes are destroyed when her mother appears at the school accompanied by 'Velvet' Kraft, her associate in crime. A most realistic portrayal of the bravery of their records and, of course, the daughter is driven from the school. The A NOTE OR TWO Leon the Magician is in the state of Oklahoma.

The front was organized by the Foster Brothers, less than bringing wives, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters in life-like motion pictures before the eyes of the women. The memorable event which will remain as a historic date in the minds of many is the exhibition in this film of the Regiment departing for Texas. There are special events that characterize the glorious send-off extended these boys in kiks. The picturesqueness of the scenes and activities of the troops and citizens as they marched under Old Glory to the trains and bade their loved one a ride in the train car with life-like and patriotic flavor. Every man, woman and sweetheart who has loved ones "over there" should in this great work and "do their bit." Only relatives of the Eighth Regiment can pose for this picture.

It was from our old and trusted friend, Buzzin' Burton, and in it he arrives to remark thus: Atlanta, Ga., April 20, 1918—Dear Tony: As we all know the chances are great and the business is good, and I am sure you will be out for the one that treats you light times. And I must say, in behalf of M. J. T. Turner, owner and manager of this theater, that he is the one man who has more competition than looks after those in his employ. Although we have a great deal to pull against us, we manage to keep the house full at all times. It is easy to realize the more competition that is the more important that is what we are doing. I have been employed by Mr. Turner for sixteen weeks and I have found him to be man more willing to give then to me. I am not a malice toward any one. There are 18,000 theater-going people in Atlanta and that is enough to supply all three of the houses here. Mr. Turner pays the salaries, and I am proud to be able to speak in these terms of Mr. Turner, as I feel that the public should know what sort of a gentleman Mr. Turner is. He knows the best acts and pictures obtainable and the people here are always safe in coming to the Royal for a chance to see the best of entertainment. Yours, Asst. Manager, Royal Theater.

BLUE BLAZES BAWDEN "Blue Blazes Rawden" is an exceptional story for the display of William S. Hart's particular style of acting. It is without doubt one of his best, not that William S. Hart is any different, as his characterization carries the same necessary elements that marked his work in the past. But the story itself is one that deserves the highest praise. It comes to the popular Pickford theater for the one day, this coming Sunday. A short synopsis follows: Rawden, daredevil leader of the lumber gang, visits Timber Cove to spend his pay Hillgard, an Englishman from a good family, who has turned crook and later becomes owner of the dance hall, has an altercation with Rawden. He challenges Rawden, who stakes his winnings against the ownership of the hall; Rawden wins. A fight follows. In which Hillgard is shot by Rawden, Mrs. Hillgard and her son Eric arrive in town to see the oldest son. Rawden, in order to ease the old lady's heartaches, tells her that Hillgard died a natural death and was loved by all. The kindness of the old lady works a reformation in the heart of Rawden. He plans to leave, but Babette tells Eric Hillgard the truth. Eric attempts to kill Rawden, who later saves the boy from the hangman's noose. Rawden, badly wounded, leaves to take the Lone Trail alone. It is a great feature, and you should see it. Lulu Coates & Co.

SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1918 VIEW ATTACKS GIRL A happy Belgian maiden, seeing her prospective husband clubbed to death with the butt end of a musket, under orders of Gen. Von Gluck, her father shot down and herself torn from the arms of her grandmother by a German officer, Capt. Von Hanke, who, fortunately, was unable to accomplish his pose—those experiences of Clifford the Old Man, the idea of the atrocities of the German barbarans in their advance through Belgium that are faithfully and authentically unknown insights into the private life of the German emperor, as played by Rupert Julian, in his sonnational screen expose of the German brutes, "The Beast of Berlin," to be shown at the Pickford for two days next week. BRAVE BELGIAN BOY The bravery of a young son of the village blacksmith of Louvain, Belgium, seems stuck upon a German general—seem stuck upon a German injury to the Hun commander, is the talk of this and surrounding communities. The boy, a mere youth, openly shamed his loved one, the German who were occupying his home village, and, angered at the constant speeches of the general, threatening death for any attack upon the troops, succeeded in killing them upon the German general that proved himself. The boy disappeared, last seen being pursued into his father's blacksmith shop by a German officer with drawn sword. This scene, among many, shows the German officer, the German sive Belgium by the German host, included with sensational exposures of the kaiser himself in his private life, in Rupert Julian's remarkable screenplay. The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin, will be shown at the States theater. Birthday Party Buffalo, N.

Allen Chapel has a tremendous following and the popular and scholarly Dr. Thomas holds the affections of the people secure. Dr. S. H. Thompson Kansas City, Kun., has a worthy and useful leader who has grasped the proper conception of leadership and the nature of his duty to his Race in the person of Dr. S. H. Thompson, a pioneer physician in the middle west. He was a graduate of the University fresh out of college, when his youthful appearance led many to question whether they should trust themselves to his care. In fact, he wasubbed with praise for his success soon dispelled all doubt and he became a favorite and rapidly grew into prominence. In giving counsel to his care, he was successful as a leader of his people. This has appreciated his loyalty and has given him a very extensive practice and as a result today Dr. Thompson is a physician in the middle west and one of those who enjoy the broadest measure of personal, friendship among both his practice. During the care years of his partnership in the local white medical society and on numerous occasions has been honored by his associates, both in his practice and as a conference. He is a grand of honor and for several successive terms has been Grand Chancellor of the K. of P. lodge of the state. Dr. Thompson is a gentleman who makes you feel right at home so modest is he about his accomplishments that were it not that his deeds stand out, would not have known his community. He has the Kansas City spirit. Professor John A. Hodge Sumner high school of Kansas City, Kansas, has the distinction of being the only Colored high school in the state. In the larger cities there are numerous schools are mixed. A bit of Race feeling which cropped out a few years ago, resulting in a small riot, led to the establishment of Summer high school in the year 1905. It is a splendid institution, and my survey of it gave excellent opportunity for comparison with the mixed schools with which I had been familiar. In traveling across Missouri, Kansas, and grade school. Many of them were poor. Housed in poor fashion, teachers evidently selected carelessly and the whole showing that the tendency was to visit the students. The result of my visit to these schools was that my opinion of Colored schools was at very low ebb and it was a refreshing experience to find in Summer high school an institution whose standards were any other in the community, whose equipment was just as excellent and M. Mrs. Wilda Dwiggins whose teaching force was just as competent, having been selected for their ability and training. I asked Professor John A. Hodge, the brilliant principal of the college, the relative value of Negro and mixed schools. He said: "I do not advocate separate schools, simply because I am against segregation in every form. But, on the other hand, the Colored school, when as good in equipment and teaching as the Negro school, some definite advantages.

Act today. seventy students. Although the population has not increased materially, there are now 300. This would prove that at least in the larger cities, where they go to a Colored high school better. The greater interest and better attendance are doubtless due to the fact that the chances for social organization in these mixed schools, where they feel that they are not a part of it and are not really wanted. This lack of social contact destroys the pupil's interest. The chances for social organization in Colored population, have 900 high school students, and I daresay that is a good many more than Chicago has with its much larger field to draw. I believe that the value of mixed schools. I believe that the value of Race teachers, of racial pride developed, offset the advantages of contact with white people. Professor Dodge, A. B. and A. M. from the University of Chicago, he taught six years in Summer before being elected to the principship and brought to the position high ideals. He plans to keep Summer the place where he discovers his own capability, regardless of what line it is. It is two principals which Summer stands for are especially valuable; it is a place where the student lives in life, whether he goes in for the industrial or professional field, and the standard of scholarship is kept so high that it is a clear path from the elementary schools to the highest institution in life, which enjoys the respect and good will of his entire community. C Mr. Nathan Thatcher Among the successful business men of Kansas City, Kan., none are more prominent or have won more pronounced success than has Mr. Nathan W. Thatcher. The remarkable part of your men's career lies in the fact that they have been able to bridge space of six years, and in that short time has come from the unknown, as it were, to a place where his standing as a commercial way are vital. A poor boy who knew what adversity meant, he today is in the front rank, with an established credit and acknowledged as a potent factor in the business world. He said that "a prophet is not without donor save in his own town", but Mr. Thatcher has reversed the phrase and said to be the first native Kansas man to launch a medical and a funeral director, with a motto which he keeps foremost, "Fair prices and fair treatment." Modern methods of caring for the sick have the latest appliances and heurse, and several standard cars are to be noted in a survey of his establishment, Mr. Thatcher is a church man and in 1912 he was appointed counsel, belonging to Counsel G.

Lincoln elementary school is one of the progressive ward schools here. It has the new open-air schoolrooms, a gymnasium and an excellent kenny cafeteria. Billards and pool are delightful games which most men enjoy. Unfortunately, however, they have won a doubtful vogue because of the shady character and bad associations with which the average pool hall surrounds them. The Y. M. C. A., while affording the game under pleasant conditions, does not reach the average man, because he cannot smoke and perhaps has not been made to feel entirely at home. But John A. Jones of 1514 East Eighteenth Street, Kansas City, has learned the secret. He conducts in connection with the best barber shop in the city, a real billard parlor. Fitted with the finest furnishing which Brunswick-Balke affords, probably no other Colored parlor in the country has the same, with every convenience to add THE MISSING MAN to the player's comfort, the place attracts by its class and beauty. But, better still, the order is perfect, no profanity, no bad and boisterous laughing being permitted. It is the ideal which many proprietors will do Prof. J. R. E. Lee well to emulate. Mr. Jones is an artist as a barber and a substantial business man. He recently returned from a five week trip with a group of the Osage Indians. Hon. Nelson C.

Hughes and Joe Turner are among the city's finest. Drs. Shannon, Perry and Lambright are proprietors of the people's drug store. Dr. James A. Smith is manager and is attentive to the interests of the Defender, which can be found on sale there. Charles A. Starko operates the League Enterprise, an up-to-date news stand and shoe shining parlor. He is a writer of ability and his tilts with local celebrities are among the interesting features of the Sun. The White-Wood drug store is an establishment of which the proprietors may well be proud. Its beauty and attractiveness are equaled only by the courteous and efficient attention which Drs. White and Wilbur Wood give to their patrons. Mrs. L. E. Laling has at 1007 East Eighteenth Street an excellent beauty parlor. Oil magnates are in the making here and a number of entrepreneur young gentlemen are already counting the number of companies in the medium of Kansas' black Liquid Gold. The Square Deal Oil and Gas Company, whose advertisement will be found elsewhere in our columns, is offering a deal in oil that will begin drilling for oil. C. H. Fowler, C. R. Groves, S. R. Hopkins and M. L. Olson are among the officials of a deal of local attention is attracting a great deal of local attention. Interest is at fever heat in oil production, owing to the numerous startling successes which various companies have made. The public is being invited to get in with them on the ground floor. The Y. M. C. A. Frank Harris, with the assistance of Messrs. James, Smith, and Ann Williams. The cafe, under Mr. Williams, attains patrons from the business and professional men of the city, Professor J. Sina Harris is head of the fourth estate to accept a position in the local social settlement in the county groves. R. E. Lee Bailey, well known as an editor, has deserved the ranks of the fourth estate to accept a position in the local railway here. S. S. Stark, the Standard Life representatives here, conduct a thriving real estate business also. The Midvale Oll and Company, under the leadership of President of the firm, have an excellent claim in Allen county Kansas. A number of well-known men are behind the venture. Dr. Howard are among the officers. and G. A. Pargo are among the officers. A select social organization among the elite, gave a delightful party during the holidays.

James, 739, E. 41st street, was burned to death last Thursday room of the Lexington hotel, 22d street and Michigan avenue, when the boiler he was firing exploded and engulfed him in steam and boiling water. His friend, the coroner, crisped and he died at the People's hospital a few hours after the accident. He was from Pensacola, Fla., and had been a resident of the city for one year. Mrs. Fannie M. Ross, his wife, appealed to the Defender to aid her in making arrangements for the body to be shipped and to refer her to an at- torney. The coroner reported to look after the interest of Mrs. Ross, and as a result Lawyer Latham was retained as her counsel and Underwriter S. J. Fountain pre- pared the report. Mrs. Ross will be buried at Pensacola, Fla. Mrs. Ross expects to return to the city shortly and enter suit against the hotel company. The coroner's jury returned an arrest at the Inquest Friday morning. Miss Winchester Entertains Last May in Winchester, 5119 Bairnborn street, entertained with a house party, at which many of the city's younger society were present. MRS. E. G. FULTON ALL AROUND THE TOWN Aldermen Anderson and Jackson in Big Drive to Clean Up Second Ward The Race people of the city are in a proud and unique position. In political leadership the Race of Chicago, by its political achievements, is the natural leader of the country. This proud position falls to the Race in the Second ward, which now has two Aldermen—Anderson and Jackson. Great things are exiled and will be accomplished by the co-operation of these two notable Race and civic leaders. As an indication of their progressiveness and ability to get things done in civic affairs, they started a big drive to clean up the streets and alleys of the Second ward before Alderman Jackson was formally installed in office. Our two salaried members called upon Felix M. M. M. to be an independent of streets, last Friday, April 19, and made arrangements for the great and much-needed cleanup in our ward. Monday, April 22, the drive began, with a number of extra teams and men, and it is to continue until every alley and street in the Second ward is properly cleaned of ashes and all old rubbish, which is often the source and sent of fifth and disuse. The men in the drive are to receive $3 a day and each wagon $7. The superintendent assured Alderman Anderson and Jackson that nothing would be spared to put the ward in first-class form and condition. Much consideration is due our aldermen for this timely and essential move, high-grade qualifications and heavy co-operation of our Second ward aldermen. This is a magnificent beginning of the new era which has come to the city. Let us hope that our Race will rise to the demands of this new hour of Race unity and co-operation and give the two aldermen their unanimous and further advancement of our Race and for the betterment of Chicago. One significant feature of the Labor Liberty Loan parade last Saturday was the security of Colored men in the race. With the exception of the Janitors' union and the Municipal Street Laborers' union, one looked in vain for repatriation of the Race in the ranks of union labor. Such unions as the carpenters, brick-layers, iron workers, bill posters, the teachers, the laborers, the laborers were conspicuous by their exemption of Race men among their numbers. It is that union labor does not throw open all its doors to our workmen? Recent efforts have been made to unite Race workmen at the Stock Yards and these efforts have met with some measure of success, but many Race men have refused to join the pro-racism movement. Race unions has been to exclude Race men from membership and when Race men have been permitted to join the union discrimination has not practiced in their work. Now is a good time to change the policy. While we are fighting for democracy in labor also. Race men will not be a stumbling block in battering the system, they should share importantly in all benefits that come to organized labor and all classes of labor should share in these benefits without regard to race or color or nationality.

Jones, one of the leading speakers of our Race in the state, and one Mr. Wilson (white). They both made time to witness the birth of patience. Prof. Jones made a full impression on our people in regard to the future prospects of citizenship and democracy which would soon knock at every man's door. He urged the Race to do their very best in answering the call of the government, by so doing to ensure that the citizens of the states, which have been in store for a long time. He said we haven't time to look back over the past treatment that we have received from hands of the whites, but accept the present opportunity that presents itself to us and look for future results. We have received from hands of the whites; may he live long to instruct his people. We have but one thing to regret, we had no place of inclusion large enough to hold the large crowd of people of both Colored and white that thronged to hear him, and we were not able to hear him. We open the air for him to speak. The condition of the weather made it very unpleasant for him. Crawford, Miss.

Johnson of Columbus, N.M., boxing promoter and matchmaker, booked about the classiest match, N.M. ever made in the southwest when he secured the signature of Frank Folew, El Paso middleweight, to articles calling him to battle Speedball Hayden, middleweight champion of the army, at Columbus Saturday night, in a game that ended at 158 points. Fowser, recently returned from France in anticipation of being matched here or in the East soon, began light training Friday and he will prepare for a borg camp, owned by William M. McCoy & Sons, 111 South Santa Fe street. Judging from past performances, Fowser is the best man ever sited for Hayden, who is of the 24th infantry and started in at Columbus in the past year. He knocked out Rufus Williams and won the army middleweight title; won from Johnny on a foul and beat rounds by hey awarded the decision. Probably the biggest sight in Fowser's career took place at Cincinnati Knox College, Knoxville, Missouri, a draw. Just previous to meeting Powser, who was then on a tour of eastern cities, Knoxville had been stacking up against such chess boys as Ted Sullivan, George Brown and Jack Sullivan. Promoter Johnson came down from Columbus to secure Frankle's signature, and he succeeded in booking the El Paso fisticplum. With the aim of securing Eddle Hannon of field hospital company 30 to box canebal, 4th inning, he will remain in the city until Monday or Tuesday. If he signs Hannon the welters will go in a ten-round semi-windup to the Fowser-Hayden box. A curtain raises of six rounds is also to be put on by the Columbus promoter. A show will be staged in the Crystal theater. Henry Davis, formerly associated with Mr. Johnson in the promoting of the Columbus club, and with the Columbus club and will hereafter devote his time exclusively to business, except for looking after the managerial end of Hayden's ring activi- STANTON WINS FROM FLA. BAPTIST COLLEGE Jacksonville, Fla., April 26—The fast Stanton high school baseball team after having been defeated twice by the Florida came to its own when it defeated Florida Baptist college team, 11 to 2. The features of the game were: For Stanton, the fielding of Thomas Fralil, and caught almost impossible chances; batting of Franklin Mabary, who besides getting two singles with three on, cleared the bases with a triple; loved the college play but four hits and struck out ten men, and the all-around fielding and batting of the Stanton boys. For the College, Ray McDowell was sensational at all times. The line-up of the Stanton boys was as follows: Franklin Mabary, first base; Theodore Williams, left field; Thomas Fralil, second base; center field; George McIntosh, right field; Cleo Miller, third base; Franklin Daniels, catcher; Cyril Andrews, pitcher. The team is planning to bring the fast Ocala team here the first of next month. Young Joe Gans and Lou Joe Gans, lightweight champion of the world, and his manager, Lou Goldman, blew in town Tuesday looking for the scalps of the so-called lightweight boxer. Gans is open to meet any lightweight boxer in the world from 133 to 138; no one barred. Gans has not lost a decision in the last two years, and that is more that he is not going to. Lou Goldman, who looks after Gans' interest, is willing to wager that he can win the fight. He is around here and, after leaving here, that goes for other parts of the country. One question Goldman wants to know is. Why do all the Colored boxers sidestep Gans, as he is no devil and does not try to kill them, and after they box him once they all say never again. Gans can be seen in action when a boxing at Jones A. C., 2819 State street. Hillsides Wallop All-Stars Hillside Park, Philadelphia, April 25. —An immense crowd was drawn to Hillside Park last Sunday to witness the opening game of the Hillside team, which was an enthusiastic one from start to finish, as New York's four favorites were on the Hillside team, namely, Webster, Santop, Pettis and Hocker. Captain Sykes in the box and Santop were the two most attractive for the fan's eyes. A new outfielder made a record for himself and bids fair to outshine any outfielder of the East—George Johnson of Texas, mutilates 5 hits and takes care of the chances in the outfield. The game ended in favor of the Hillside, 12-1. Jackson Runs Fine Race New York, April 26.—C. Jackson, representing the St. Christopher A.

It is said that more people lose their spirit and fail on a cloudy or rainy day than at any other time, and this may be Union's excuse for losing the game to sportsmanship, for it was certainly a full day. The game, however, began promptly at 2:30. The Blue and White team had the game at the beginning of the game and was successful in winning it from scoring, but when the Seasiders came to bat, the first man got on base and in a few minutes Ginn succeeded in bringing him in. The Seasiders began some of their noticed arguing and it was before he regained control of himself. No other scores were made by either side until the fourth inning, when the Union pitcher went up in the air and five balls came before he regained control of himself. The fussing increased at this time and even Coach Robinson joined in it. The noise nearly quieted down when the Union pitcher jumped in the only run made by Union. in the remaining four innings of the game both sides tightened up and there were more scoring. The work of Hulcs and Taylor for Union was exceptionally good, while Harris, Ginn and the entire Hampton team were at the best. The teams faced each other in the following order: Hampton (6) Union (1) Taylor L. F. D. Johnson Hampton S. S. F. D. Johnson Ginn C. M. Johnson Hill 3d F. McGinn Trigg F. Smith Benton D.

Bannaker School Over the Top St. Louis, Mo., April 26—Charges have been made to one of the papers of this city that the Colored people were not buying the Liberty bonds as they probably to strife created through German propaganda.

E. McBride near her last Saturday, was seized by a mob of prominent citizens and hanged in the court house yard Monday morning. It was afterward discovered that Noyes was the wrong man. The sheriff sought to arrest a man who resembled Noyes for violating the state prohibition law, but in the chase which ensued the violator outdistanced the sheriff and was lost in the darkness. However, Noyes appeared on the scene later in the same vicinity and was fired upon by the sheriff unwarned. He returned the fire and killed the officer. The mob, prior to ending the victim's life, debated as to whether they should burn Noyes or hang his body to a tree. Burning was decided upon as too quick a process, and his body was strong up to a limb and mutilated. The general unrest caused by this unwarranted action on the part of the police caused an exodus to start from this house. Houses are vacant and an estimate of fifty residents have moved to other houses in the country seeking safety. It is thought that the unrest has due to the fact that nothing has been done to punish the parties who lynched the large business displayed by the man in the house by the lynchers read: "This is the way we do our hit." Preacher Is Arrested for Obstructing the Draft St. Louis, Mo., April 26—Rev.

It is alleged by the federal authorities that Barker, from his pulpit, advised the young men of his church to pay no attention to the draft law and been set free, and could not be conscripted. The preacher denied the charge and should be able to prove his innocence, as it is difficult to imagine such a notorious crime in large. He formerly lived in East St. Louis, but left during the riot last July. To Look After Draft Mem Washington.

April 26—Over 100 angry white citizen吝 Claude Simleton from a little shanty used for a jail and lynched him. A rope was placed around his neck and hitched to a wall, and he dragged to the outskirts of the town, where it was hanged to a tree. The sheriff made no resistance against the bloodthirsty cannibals, but calmly gledon's body was badly cut with butcher knives before it was hanged to the tree, and it is thought that life was extinct when no reached the place of the victim. The victim was severed from the body and placed upon a stick and members of the crucifixion committee marched in a procession behind the horrid sight of the town hall, where a jubilee was held. Singleton was arrested a week ago, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the alleged murder of Bemis. He was a railroad worker. The clerk were here to investigate, but the white cannibals were unable to apprehend the murderer and they seized Singleton.

Fully thirty-five persons left the cesspool of crime under cover of night and are thought to have gone north. It is conceded that they have given up this disfigurement. Nothing has been done to punish the lynchers. They are known to the officials. Prof. Hawkins in Able Address at the Y. M. C. A.

Turner Jr. Richmond, Va., April 26—The slugging red and steel aggregation was altogether to much for the light orange and blue squad from Petersburg. The weeping heavens threatened to stop the contest, but Old Sol appeared and bore witness to one of the best games played on Hovey field for several seasons in which the home boys reigned supreme by the score of 4 to 2. The historic got away with a flying start, but the defense was not strong for V. N. I. I. Petersburg was the first to tilt and tallied again in the third, but it was the sixth frame when Union over a lone marker and in the seventh over a lone marker and in the gloom of defeat rising over the horizon. Crowder for V. N. I. I. pitched superb ball until the seventh, when he began to weaken. R. Goode and blue. R. Goode and blue. Goode scored both runs, while Patten played a wonderful game at shortstop. Scott was a little wild at the beginning, but after the third down, he fed the V. N. I. I. boys from his hand. The home boys played jam-up ball and scored 10. The team was excellent fielding pulled Scott out of several holes. Hulcs and Rucker did not get the ball and each getting a double and a triple. Proposes "Jim Crow" Cars for the Nation's Capital By the Scrutinizer Washington, D. C., April 26.—There has probably not been a bill introduced in the senate in years that has caused the vast amount of talk in both political and social circles here as has the Trammell bill, framed to require separate car accommodations for the white and Race people in the District of Columbia, and living penalties for the violation thereof. At a time like this—with thousands upon thousands of the young men of the race fighting in the blood-soaked trenches abroad for the democracy of the world—and for the preservation of the hides of such vermin as the man Trammell and others of his ilk, it hardly seems probable that such a bill will finally pass and if it should that it will be accorded the approval of our great President, Mr. Wilson. Here is something which will give the renders an insight as to the theory of the bill: Section 1. Be it enacted by the senate of the house of representatives of the United States of America, in congress assembled, that all persons, associations of persons, firm or corporations operating urban and suburban (or either) electric cars as common carriers of passengers in the District of Columbia shall furnish equal, but separate, accommodations for white and Negro passengers on all cars so operated. Sec. 2. That the separate accommodations for white and Negro passengers required by the provisions of Section 10.1 of the Railway Act by separate cars, fixed divisions, movable cars, other method of division in the cars. Sec. 3. That on the car or division provided for white passengers shall be marked in plain letters in a conspicuous place, and on the car or division provided for black passengers shall be marked in plain letters in a conspicuous place. "For Colored." Sec. 4. That nothing in this act shall be construed to apply to nurse of one race children or invalids of the other race. Requiem to Celia P.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need a Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perforators, who get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seebey's Quinacad is one of the most used to stand the test of time. It is real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It is also the solution of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the hair. To get best results from the use of Quinacad it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seebey's Quinacad. Quinacad is made from a mixture of principally cocos oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinacad lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and moist and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo.

ARCHBISHOP JUSTUS J. EVAN8 D. G. Nurse Who Slew Druggist Bound Over to Grand Jury Holyoak, Mass., April 26 *J* Minnie L. Butterworth, nurse, slayer of Druggist Geo. Arthur Elliott, was bound over by Judge E. W. Chapin in police court to the grand jury sitting of May 6th. Atty. Thomas C. Maher, former city solicitor, entered into the counsel for the accused young woman. When brought before the court some days ago within an hour after the shooting of Elliott, Miss Butterworth was asked to plead to a compulsory assault with a weapon with intent to murder. News of Elliott's death was received before court adjourned, but Judge Chapin ruled that the lesser charge could be sufficient to hold the woman who shot Elliott to the ground in the grand jury to determine the charge on which the nurse shall go to trial. Clerk of Courts Thomas J. Tierney again read the charge to Miss Butterworth this morning and as she moved forward and waived examination proceedings lasted only a few minutes, and an hour later Miss Butterworth was on her way back to the Hamden county jail in Springfield. She crowded with morbid curiosity seekers, including a dozen or more women, the majority of whom came from Elmwood. There were also a few nurses present, and another woman, a nurse, Butterworth in the matron's room just prior to her returning to Springfield. Some of the women evidently expected to witness a dramatic scene, but neither woman passed the remark that it was hardly worth while for them to come all the way down from Elmwood. When approached after court, Atty. Mother stated that nothing would be done to convene, which is in two weeks' time. Atty. Mather declined to divulge his plans, but it is safe to assume that the defense will be "the unwritten law." Mather doubtless the case comes to trial for a year, counsel will undoubtedly plead for a prolonged continuance, because of his client's present condition. Miss Butterter, a chained honeymoon has been in detainment for a decade, and the fight of counsel will be to stay the proceedings until after the birth of the child, of which she claims Elliott is Miss Butterworth was brought up by auto from the county jail by Inspector Edward F. Gilday, Patrolman Mederio Bellou and Matron Mary Sullivan. The accused nurse was clad almost entirely in blue, she wore a long, heavy coat for the auto trip. She appeared just as calm and unconcerned as when taken in charge by the police following the arrest. Only four witnesses were summoned, but they were not called to testify. but they were not called to testify. They were Felix Henry Savage, who canonized the gun when he held her while the gun was wrested from her: John H. Sullivan, Mrs. Mary McCarthy and Dr. Stanley C. Cox, associate medical examiner.

GOLE By Nettie George Speedy Since the weather conditions are becoming ideal, I am going to ask more of our women to take up golf as their summer pastime. I have tried to fathom the reason why much how to go in the game, and as yet I have been unable to reach any conclusion, unless it is the mistaken idea that golf is a rich man's game. That is merely hearsay, for after you have once bought your outfit there is nothing expensive about golf but your time, and a careful housewife can arrange to so that her home is always neat and tidy, yet she can devote her afternoons to golf. But as the reason advances her chances for getting off (which is golf for starting to play) in the afternoon are slim, so about the first of June I change my schedule and each morning at 4 o'clock (weather permitting) I am on my way to the links. There are several public courses in Chicago, two at Jackson park, one at Marquette, one at Lincoln, one at Garland, one at Warren's Woods. You are fully privileged to play at any of these places, provided, of course, you conform with the rules and regulations. My advice to all women beginners, who live on the South Side, is to learn dance on the North Side, then after you have learned the strokes and the different offices of your several clubs, you will learn to prepare to meet the traps, bunkers and awards that you will find on the eighteen-hole course. Your outfit consists of a light canvass bag, your clubs and least three ball clubs, your clubs and least three clubs, a driver, an iron and a putter. Then as you become better acquainted with your clubs you can add your clubs, which include midrion and mashie. There is also the jigger and nibble, but it is optional with you about these clubs, but the other clubs are optional. The next thing is what to wear. First it is imperative that you wear low-heel shoes. Then I recommend a sneaker for freedom of your body movements; a sport skirt, and a cap or hat that requires no pins. A sweater completes your outfit and are now ready for freedom of your body movements. My reason for advocating golf is because it is to be praised in every way for an improvement in your health, and it is a game to be enjoyed by the old and the young. As the slender, the female as well as the male, and your score card will, tell you that the "links offer an excellent opportunity for physical exercise and recreation, but no less an opportunity of self-control and self-government." The fascination of the game is unlimited, for today you pat yourself on the shoulder, thinking you are in the middle of a dance you anxiously hope to find yourself buffeted about at will by the machinations of the little white pellet you have learned to love; the dances you anxiously hope to again and again and resume poses; holds your interest from season to season. To further emphasize my meaning of the fascination of golf, I will tell you that I have had his first game. He had accompanied a friend to the links, and after teeing up his ball, he took a healthy swing and missed, his friend meaningfully on the ball. After repeated failures to hit the ball, he said: "Well, I guess I'd better give it up," and his friend replied, "Now, listen: you can't expect a perfect shot, but you can minutes," and the minister answered, "Oh, I mean the ministry, not golf."

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER FARMER MURDERED WHILE HE TRIES TO PROTECT HIS WIFE Oak Valley, Miss, April 26—Because he sought to protect his wife from a fire, he handed the hands of Price Davis (white), age 10, to Valley plantation, Steve Prentiss was deliberately shot to threads by a mob prominent white citizens here April 16. He was shot and killed a number of days in order that indictment pictures could be made of the victim and sold on the public highway. In all of the leading stores of the town. The trouble arose when Prentiss returned to his home and found Davis in compromising position with his wife. He kissed her and to quit his relations with Mrs. Prentiss. The white man became accustomed at this upraising and told Prentiss: "I will be here since he hired him, and that if he became uppish to a "white gentleman" who loved his wife he would be caught. He was caught enough to elect Davis from his home and scuffle Davis secured his pistol and fired upon Prentiss. The white man was unable to withstand the attacks of the police half clad. Prentiss fired several shots at his fleeing form, striking him in the face. Several hours later Davis secured the house with bullets, returned to the Prentiss home and riddled the house with bullets, killing Prentiss. Mrs. Prentiss, termed the "houseman," is now domiciled in the Davis home. A perfect lie was hatched by the Davis faction and recited to the county officials, who practically gobbled it up and then moonshine corn whiskey.

Residence 59 E. 424 st. 27-4 More People Are Leaving Munroe, La., as result of Another Lynching There CHICAGO WEEKEND NEWS SERVICE Monroe, La., April 25, after hanging been brutally beaten, kicked and stabbed in the body with sharp instruments. Clyde Williams was taken from Monroe, La., ten miles south of here, and lynched by a mob of white heathens. The men were unmasked and carried lighted torches to the body, applied to the body of the victim as they marched him to the place of execution. Williams was accused of shooting, with intent to kill, C. L. Thomas (white), from the dale, La. It was discovered that Williams had been shot three times by Thomas, and in the scuffle for his life, Thomas was killed on the hands of Thomas and fired at his assailant. The trouble started when Williams asked Thomas what time a certain train was due at the Fawndale station. Thomas was business to inform "miggers" concerning trains, and following this remark he-struck Williams over the head with huge cane. A general mixup followed. Williams was shot three times. The lynchers were easily recognized, but every effort has been made to conceal their identity. Excitement has run high, and the crime, and the residents are literally being in droves. It is definitely calculated that over seventy people -abandoned this viability over night. It could not be seen where they were bound, but they seeming to live anywhere else to live than in this rotten-borough. Convicted of Shooting Officer Honored With Distinguished Service Here Is Wanted in the South New York, April 26—Robbie Mutchin, 28, 242 West 124th street, who was recently convicted and sent to Sing Sing prison for shooting Policeman Rengelsen of the West 135th Street Station, New York.

Letters in the pocket of the accused revealed the fact that his real name was Clabron Waycross county, Virginia, for shooting Policeman Samuel Walker. By communicating with the Virginia authorities it was found that a reward of 1000 had been offered for the j. disoner.

Monroe, La., April 26.—When the order reached the writer to make this God-forsaken town for the purpose of a memorial, the writer (white) and a member of the Methodist mIntry, in order to verify reports as to his Race-hating activities, activities of the sanctum. It is bad enough to be located south of the Mason and Dixon line at all. Add to that condition an order to the water station of Monroe's description and the misery is complete. But it had to be done. The report of the monon, as published in the Monroe News-Star issue of April 1st, demanded verification. To the credit of the paper mentioned, he it said, it told the We will not go into details as to the "Rev." Means' patriotic talk: he. was justified in that part of his sermon. It was his maseating hawking臂. regarded as a lightly enlightened community that called for special attention and caused the writer's three days of misery in this T. & P. tank station. His references to God and the Ages of Ages, in light of the fact that which he put down as either a fine hypocritical display or a religious camouflage of riot incitement. That a member of the cloth, in times like these, should make utterances of the sort that this sermon did himself of, and in an Easter sermon, is almost unbelievable. Got this: "You have one hour every day to walk through the Negro sections of this city and tell the countless, worthwhile stories of the porches and the lazy niggers leaning in the trashy yards that they had better get a job and go to work. I warn you right now that if you don't use your cell phone, you will not temper and the spirit of the Negroes of this town—if you don't put the fear of God and man into their souls so that these nigger bucks stop planning to kill you, you will propose to do. I warn you that Monroe will be down on the map side by side with the slaughter pen of Europe and there will be enough dead people to build a bridge across the Quanchita river. "And you have one hour every day to pray—pray, pray to God that He. His infinite pity, will heal this great insanity, open sore of a world at war." Here is a Methodist preacher, a regularly ordained minister of the gospel, debauching his pupil with a murder, prejudice; in one breath making a fiery appeal to the brutal instincts which no doubt form a greater part of his congregation. In the next endeavour a campaign to God, who must have been filled with shame at the utterances of this "sanitified brayer. Does this man have the courage to be a gentleman of 400 of these same "bucks" in the National Army, trained to the minute and ready to die for just such mutts as the "reverend" gentleman with the bravery to head? The writer feels too bitter to make further comment. This fellow should be the special guest of the respectable and law-abiding people of Edward Fleury, a well-known nocturnal rall-riding parties.

Maxwell was presented by H. S. Murphy of the State Normal School, and the letters submitted in the context for the best and most interesting account of Negro business enterprises'. Politeness has piled up $100,000 for John Hurreus S. C. August 37 of Orangeburg S. C. Startup 19 with politeness and $200. Maxwell fixed the gaze of trade by these means: 1. He always smiles. 2. He sells some more without obnoxiously seeming to "corner" your money. 3. He makes you know your bill is becoming a "bad debt" without siding, beating you with his asking you what is your bill politely. 4. He is politely interested in every one's personal affairs, knowing whose babies are sick, who needs charity, who needs a teacher, or a new horse to ride. 5. He learns even his customers voices over the phone. "Maxwell's grocery, he replied to a ring once, and he said, 'I'll be Miss Massey,' came the instant reply. 6. Nothing is never "out" in theory at least at Maxwell's. He goes personally to every grocery in town to find a promised article. it necessary. 7. He ordered an aforementioned grocer, E. H. Dibble, Camden, S. C. who is known as "the politest man in town," and who has piled up $100,000 by the same method. Maxwell seems to be a very extraordinary courtesy. He takes off his hat to a lady over the phone and never ally while a lady is in his store. Results: (a) That $100,000 afoot amounts to sell several Maxwell's specials because of large orders given; (c) when the war cry sounded, Maxwell contracted, among other things, hard and 100 tons of cottonseed meal.

Think of it the superior (?) race will not peremptly it isn't a very difficult matter bee to escape justice. The more "less chance of discovery. But, we and that is going too far. What good enough for the gander. So to congress Mr. Dyer's bill to protest lynching, in default of protest "Be it enacted, by the senate United States of America, in congress the putting to death, within any state by a mob of riotous assemblage of ing in concert, in violation of law, a citizen by such state or the officer to such citizen by such state of the violation of the peace of the United same."

C., the city beautiful. There he will find a body of men whose duty it is to make the laws that govern this land, and to keep their fingers on the pulse of the people they represent. Should he mention a fact that has been patent to the rest of the world for more than half a century, no doubt he would meet with a surprised look, and little wonder. How could he expect such a trivial matter as the lynching of hundreds of the 100 per cent American type of citizens, over a period of years, to be even the subject of debate in the halls of congress and the senate? But a white man was lynched recently, a German said to be disloyal. A white man! Think of it! Even in the matter of lynchings the superior (?) race will not permit us to have a monopoly. Apparently it isn't a very difficult matter for those who take part in a killing bee to escape justice. The more "prominent citizens" in the mob the less chance of discovery. But, we repeat, a white man was lynched, and that is going too far. What is good enough for the goose isn't good enough for the gander. So like a bolt out of a clear sky came to congress Mr. Dyer's bill to protect citizens of the United States against lynching, in default of protection by the state. "Be it enacted, by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America, in congress assembled," says the bill, "That the putting to death, within any state, of a citizen of the United States by a mob of riotous assemblage of three or more persons openly acting in concert, in violation of law, and in default of protection of such citizen by such state or the officers thereof, shall be deemed a denial to such citizen by such state of the equal protection of the laws and a violation of the peace of the United States and an offense against the same." Equal protection, equal accommodations—equal anything as interpreted by the states that foster segregation is only a farce. One set of people have no rights that the other and more powerful set are bound to respect. Unless the federal government enforces some of the laws that are now on the books more strictly, little use it is to enact new ones. The fourteenth and fifteenth ampndments guarantee, in the parlance of the street, an even break. Is there any sane man who believes we get it? How long would it take congress to act if the record of lynchings were reversed and the white man were the victim, not the persecutor? Would state rights supersede federal rights? Would there not be a thousand ways discovered to carry out to the letter the laws laid down by the constitution of these United States? Because you happen to live in a state where the people, judging by their acts, are on a level with savages; who make laws and break laws at their own sweet will, and defy the government to do anything about it, must you continue to submit without a murmur, and, if so, how long? Suppose this bill that is now before congress becomes a law, will it be enforced or will it be just another piece of dead legislation? If the lynching of one white man has awakened our representatives in Washington to action, what would happen if their score reached ours? It is an ill wind that blows nobody good, and perhaps—note we say perhaps—we may benefit by this law. Keeping Our Lines Intact A GOOD SPEAKER usually punctuates his remarks with one or more real stories that are appropriate to his subject, and often an old one will bear repeating. While a speaker seldom addresses an audience of more than a few thousand a "scribe" oftimes has more than one hundred thousand glance over his speech, and often a story is once in a while. It was Sabbath morning. The meeting house in the boma village was packed to the doors with the good brothers and sisters from miles around. The parson had preached a powerful sermon, and, with spees off and perspiration running down his face, he began his last "lusty": "Now, Minister, I've done axed yo' to care for de sinners, Christians, friends, and neighbors. I don't want you to be a slave, but notber min, I know you can't do it, so I don't gvine to as yo' You' not failed me befo' an' I don't want you to fail me now. But what I wuz gvine to ax yo' to be bring all us called folks to together in a band of unity. Amen." Unity signifies strength. Twelve million people who have something more in common than blood ties can at least make themselves heard even if they don't know what they are. We have the possibility to instill in the Race that spirit of clanshiness that has been so helpful to the Jews and other downtrodden people. Ignorance is at the bottom of every effort to retard advancement. We are slowly but surely beginning to see the light of day. Evidence of this is found in the uplift organizations that sprung up all over the country. One of the most powerful, and one that averages 100 people affiliated with, is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Its record of achievements in the few years of its existence has been little less than marvelous. It has fought intelligently and successfully every bit of the finger on the pulse of the enemy, and at the first suspicious move brings the of its machinery into play to crush them. But it needs your assistance, moral and financial, and this organization is entitled to it because it is fighting your cause. The drive for membership opens in Chicago today. James Wolden Johnson from the executive offices in New York, is here to conduct the drive, and every organization in the city has promised its support. It should be no trick to him, as Chicago has 25,000 members. Do you part. Chicago, first in everything; Chicago, ever doing things on a big scale, must again show to the rest of the country her firm belief in self-preservation being the first law of nature. As the N. A. A. C. P. represents itself, put into it, so that it may be an active example of Chicago's slogan, "I WILL."

RED CROSS ASKS FARM WORKERS FOR FRANCE New York, April 26—Myron T. Herrick, president of the American committee on co-operating with the Red Cross, made public the following cable message from Mrs. Anna M. Diko, commissioner for the organization in France. "We have been asked by the French government to open other centers, one in Alsace and one in the Somme district, on the same lines as the present one, to offer them care to you can, men and women. Only hard workers are wanted. The men can remain on the farms. The rest of the personnel and children still in the district are required to emphasize the necessity of increased French agriculture and food. "We feel sure that our committee will uphold us in our intention to double the number of the civilians can continue farming. By carrying out this take charge of the children and continue their education. We have assumed the full responsibility of guarding the interests of our villages. We also assume that American will support us in our endeavor." Following this plan of the Red Cross workers, it was thought advisable to set up a Hampton Institute in Virginia, and take Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, and all other leading schools and colleges in the country to work for the agricultural industry, to place their applications with the committee in work in France. This is thought to be the best way which to restore the devastated fields of France to their former state and to keep the country in retaining its scientific status in the field of agriculture.

THE MORAL CONQUEST OF AMERICA The American Negro In 1914 a black face to America was a red rag to a bull,—an unassimilable, non-adjustment omen, a badge of unreliability.—A NATIONAL JONAH. In 1918 the same black face is found to be in fact the oasis in desert in Nazareth, a reliable good thing out of Nazareth,—a sort of balm of Gilead,—a proof positive of the absence of the bomb of anarchy in the oasis, an inducer of dreamless sleep,—something that can fit in anywhere and be trusted with anything,—a good omen,—a badge of loyalty.—A NATIONAL ASSET. This is the most distinguished achievement of the American Army during years of residence in this country: That by the superlative courage of patience under suffering he has finally constrained the enemy to act for what it is—REAL AMERICAN. This he has done by the sublime power and subduing strength, and not by ingenious destroying or range guns. Verily are the victories of peace no less renowned than those of war. But after a war, let us say, in the war, let us say, THE AMERICAN WOODMEN The local corps of the American Woodmen, unr of the supervision of Deputy B. J. E. Bassett by Deputy B. J. Knox, are multiply prepared for the arrival of the supreme commander, Hon. C. M. White of Denver, Colo. Through the kindness of Rev. A. J. Carey, the Institutional church has been selected as the principal minister under White will deliver his famous fraternal lecture Monday night, May 6. Mr. White is the recognized leader of the greatest Negro fraternal organization in the world, the American Woodmen. This organization gives employment to more than 200 men and women of our Race. A Colored institution operated by Colored people, for the benefit of the African-American community, a month in salaries to its members, the American Woodmen can well boast of the fact that it is the only society caring for the National Fraternal Association. The Woodmen have more than 200,000 per cent, has a reserve of $200,000 for the protection of its members, has paid more than $500,000 and organized and incorporated in April, 1900. The American Woodmen have a membership of more than 40,000, carrying policies from $100 up to $2,000, and making more than 40,000,000 of insurance. The writer visited the local office of the American Woodmen at 5107 State street to seek further information from the supervising deputy, Julius E. Schoenberg. He informed me that we were well pleased with the information that was furnished and we are satisfied that the American Woodmen will gain a strong foothold in all of the northern states, which are the most all the Southern states where the American Woodmen have a membership of more than 30,000.

Finds Cut Gloss in Food St. Louis, Mo., April 26.—Borjamin Barnes, who has charge of the stables at the United States Arsenal, and a military army, found ground glass in the contents of a can of salmon which was purchased by Mrs. Barnes at a Broadway grocery. It was turned over to the city chemist, and it gave it to the city chemist for analysis. Barnes, when questioned by a Defender reporter, said there was quite a bit of the glass in the salmon. There were other cases reported in the city and it was thought food in such instances was fixed by German sympathizers. If not by actual spies. These men find eminent concerns which put up the foodstuff, and hard to detect because of the large foreign element in the country. Fifteen Years for Burglary St. Louis, Mo., April 28—Oliver Maxin, 20 years old, was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary last week by burying him in the houns' court for burglary and larceny. He was captured the night of March 12, in the home of Victor Zimmerman, his wife, with the assistance of a neighbor, effected the capture. It is possible Maxin had acquaintances who were older and influenced him.

How are we to kill this dreadful disease? How are we to make this successful drive against this awful plague? Enlightened Public The first step towards winning success in the Venereal Drive must be an educated public. The people must know that the term *venereal Disease* must include the dangers and the ravages of this awful plague—the Great Happiness Killer. There is no use in sticking our readers to the sand, as the ostrich, and perishing them in conditions that confront us, because we are confronted with direful conditions and not theories. The young manhood of this nation is being sapped Awful and untold suffering has been and is being inflicted upon the young womanhood of this nation. Thousands, may more, many hundreds of thousands, namely blind, crippled and handicapped for life—many have been made idiots and our insane asylums are largely a result of venereal infection. Some may have been innocently and thoughtlessly committed, but the results are the same as if it had been intentionally committed. We, today, are sut- WASHINGTON Y, M, C, A.

Since the university has been commandeered by the United States, it has been ordered to close a month in advance to prepare for the radio school which the government intends operating here. The university thought that the university would hire in two weeks' time, but ample time was allotted by the government for the purpose of allowing the 'students' to work for final examinations unhampered. and Odd Fellows Lodge Louisville, KY, April 26—The will of the late Plummer Lewis, 515 South 12th street, who died April 7, was probated in the county court last week.

Some men, too, belonged to the light and who would be saved must share it with others who are groping in darkness. Some years ago, when this awful plague (Venereal Diseases), many complains, howls and condemnations went to against the course pursued endlessly by the authorities, for example, along the lines of the gravest question that confronts the people of today. But, now, we are going to speak plainly about the plague to blaze the way for you avoiding venereal infection; and if you should become infected with this awful plague, you going to try to show you the way out. Nation Wide Drive The national government, since the declaration of war, is now making a tremendous drive against Venereal men and women. The men are being arrested and careful examinations are being made objectively and by blood tests or Wasserstein tests. The women and individuals will be a mence or harmful to society at large or not. If one is found to be infected with venereal men and women, many instances, he or she is quarantined or put away in an institution and there treated by experts who are thoroughly conversant in the treatment and the various forms of private diseases. Hotels, rooming houses and various clandestinely kept quarters are being raided by government authorities in conjunction with state and municipal authorities, life—even professors and so-called high class society indies, have been dragged into the Morals Courts and their double lives exposed to the lime-light of the public in this effort to drive out and to blot out venereal dis Reportable Diseases The general government, state and city made it compulsory upon physicians to report all cases of veneral illness to the Department, you begin treatment with one doctor for either gonorrhea or active syphilis, you must remain with that doctor until thoroughly cured; or, on quitting your job, you must place yourself under the care of another competent physician, and continue treatment until cured, or else your case will be reported to the Department by the first physician. Good Law We are going to continue the consideration of venereal disease question in these columns, and any questions that you desire to know, just drop this element a line and we will endeavor to furnish the information desired. Senate Confirms Appointment of Judge Terrell by President Senate Confirms Appointment of Judge Terrell by President Washington, D. C., April 26. The recent appointment of Judge Robert H. Terrell by President Wilson to succeed himself on the Municipal court bench of the District of Columbia, and to be the United States senate chair. Thursday make a rather unusual record. Judge Terrell is the senior member in point of service of the five members of the Senate, sixteen and a half years consecutively, has been confirmed by the senate five times. His appointments have come from three Presidents, all of whom are Roosevelt, Roosevelt, name him twice. Taft once appointed him twice. He is the only Republican on the bench of the Municipal court, but has the backing of the lawyers of the community, without regard to politics. During a judge he has presided in many cases of great importance to the people of community. His reappointment meets the requirements of classes of citizens of the District of Cqlumba, among whom he has always maintained an unusual popularity. LOW-PRICED OIL STOCKS AS AN INVESTMENT At the present time a great deal of interest and discussion prevails as to the need for new stock, their possibilities and the need for an investment. The more fact that the first allotment of stock in an enterprise of worth is offered at a low price does not mean that the new stock provision is a cheap one nor that it will not be a success. Some of our greatest industries of today, some of our strongest companies started in the early 1900s, all allotment of stock at a few dollars per thousand shares. Today many of these same stocks are worth as many dollars as they were in the past, purchased a thousand shares or more at the time these companies were organized. New company which has well located oil land holdings, honest and capable man as its management, and assures action in developing its properties is justified allowing the industry to prosper. The success of the enterprise and its earned dividends.
