Harper Four parts of a human body—that of a woman—wrapped in newspapers and bound tightly with ropes, was unearthed by policemen who made a mid-street, near 25th avenue, near 25th Dec. 12, at 11:30 o'clock. As picks and shovels plowed into the frozen ground John Henry Reese, age 42, stood near by handcuffed to detectives and guided the diggers in their growsome task. A team of officers headed their expedition to the deserted lot Reese broke down after a week's grilling at the police station and confessed to Officer John Armstrong of the Cotteridge station that he murdered his wife, 40, with a hatchet in their home at 3658 Wabash avenue, on the night of Dec. 5 at about 10 o'clock, and in the infly darkness that engulfed the field murdered his wife, body after chopping it into five parts. It later developed that Reese dismembered his wife's body in the bathtub and carried the remains, piece by piece, to the tomb. He also confessed to killing 150 of First Reese's money which she had on her at the time of the attack. Reese Tells of Burial "Dig a little further over this way," directed Reese when Detective Sergt. Shope asked him where the mangled form was buried. "You ought to find her arms and legs first, cause I threw them in the hole," Reese said, his instructions to the officers. "Anyways, you will find all of the body here but the head: I forgot what I did with that," Reese continued. Arm Discovered With only the lights of lanterns piercing the shadows of night, the small squad of men continued to pluck away at the ground, only stopping at the base of the hill. Finally, the squad chopped squally from the shoulder. "Here is one piece," said Detective Monroe. When this message rung in Reese's ear he responded: "Do you out that it was here. I can never forget the night. I had to dart in and out when I was burying her for fear somebody would see me digging in the ground from the L trains." Unchanged as he was physically, he saw the ground whipped about him. Reese maintained his composure in the trying moments when he heard some one announce from the burial hole that the lower portion of the body had been found. When four pieces of human evidence were found, the ground before him Reese gazed upon them but his lips were stuilt. He watched the city photographer take a flashlight picture of the body as it lay crumpled and separated upon the cold ground. Officers Seek Head "Where is the head, Reese?" asked an officer. "I don't know. I gave that to a man named Orvin Donaldson, an expressman of old him. He replied. The patrolmen went to Donaldson's home at 30 East 37th place, got him out of bed and took him to the station. Donaldson denied having anything to do with the murder and maintained his innocence of questions aimed at him by Officers Armstrong, Monroe and Slope. Points to Donaldson Reese had informed the policemen that after he delivered the death blow to his wife he came out of the house and met Donaldson on 37th street near the "L." He said he told the latter of his brutal deed and asked Donaldson to help him smother the crime by despairing. He then told Reese, consented and went to the residence, where they took the body to a barn and dismembered it and later buried it separately. Reese said he paid Donaldson $25 for his services. Later Free Donaldson In a written statement given Officer Armstrong last Monday, Reese exonerated Donaldson of any blame in the tragedy, declaring that he "knew the police would suspect him, myways," and that he had "left the home of his sister, Mrs. Fannie Bogness, $327 Ehwind avenue, on the night of the murder, but Reese's story was so cleverly worded that the police held Donaldson pending further investigations. Efforts are being made to free Donaldson on a writ of habeas Head Is Found Shrouded in deep mystery and in spite of the fact that strenuous efforts had been made to keep the details of the hiding of Mrs. Reese's head a secret, startling facts came to light that Friday when Reese directed the pa- : (Continued on Page Three) Junius Wood to Tell of Our Part in War Officials of the Y.

C., are forever singing. A number of these examples were on the program of the Musical Art Society, which gave its first concert of the year in Carnegie Hall, New York, on Dec. 16. On St. Helena Island there are some still white and black and only about fifty white and blacks, the typical Negro folksong has there and there are caped those influences which are fast destroying it in more advanced communities. In this remote spot, where the ground by hand, where tradition tells the story of art of basketweaving was brought from Africa, where it is said that traces of African words may be found in Negro dialect, the archaic, imaginative, and primitive richness of the music suggests direct kinship with the dark continent. Sung by Drafted Soldiers Of the songs arranged by Natalie Curtis, two celebrate the Christmas, and a third is a "Hymn of Freedom," set to the stirring and triumphant refrain of the old spiritual, "Ride On, Jesus." This was sung in every camp of drafted Negro soldiers during the war, carried about the country by J. E. Bannan of the Penn School, St. Helena Island, and has recently returned from France, and who sang the "lead" at the concert of the Musical Art Society. will be held the first Monday in January, 1920.

Two shares, $10.00 down, $10.00 per month, etc. The more stockholders we have, the stronger the company will be, and better for all concerned. A large number of stockholders spells absolute success. INCORPORATED under the laws of the State of Illinois as an Old Line or Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company and is at the present time under state supervision. THE AWAKENING OF THE NEGRO The condition of the Negro business men in Chicago today should be a warning to every Race-loving Negro in the United States TOGETHER. Because during the past fifty years those who have lived in Chicago have made MILLIONAIRES among every nationality known to civilization that offered them the least bit of encouragement for their patronage and they have also made a PAUPER of every Negro who dared to enter into competition with those for our trade. The results of our loyalty to the other follow find us today without any State Banks, Legal Reserve Life Insurance Companies, Fire Insurance Companies, Wholesale Houses of any kind whatever, Department Stores, Laundries, First Class Hotels and various other business establishments necessary for the upbringing of a Race. WORLD'S WAR DISCOVERS NECROES'BEST FRIEND The one fault which has retarded our progress more than all of the others combined has been caused by our permitting the other fellow to plant the seed of DISTRUST among us and so well did he plant the seed that not until the recent war did the Negro realize that his best friend was his own people. No matter what our past grievances have been or what our future understanding may be, when the smoke of Distrust has cleared away and the harsh words spoken have ceased to cause pain, every Negro must be found cemented together "ONE FOR ALL, AND ALL FOR ONE." LIBERTY LIFE TO OUR RESCUE The LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of ILLINOIS is going to be to the Negroes what the other Life Insurance Companies are to the white race, a medium through which they can obtain cheap money on approved securities. Without an available supply of cheap interest money there is but little hope for our financial development as a Race of people. The success of Standard Life of Atlanta, Ga., and the North Carolina Mutual of Durham, N. C., is sufficient proof that our men are capable of managing large financial institutions. Life Insurance Companies of the United States control more money than all of the National Banks, State Banks and Private Banks combined. AN APPEAL TO EVERY RACE LOVING NEGRO More than Fifteen Million loyal Race loving Negroes are interested in the Liberty Life Insurance Company, and the few thousand shares of stock we haveleft cannot last very long, because every day subscriptions are being received from all parts of the country. Every Negro should consider it his indispensable duty to invest at least $30.00 in fostering such a noble undertaking. EVERYBODY TO BE TREATED ALIKE There is no Promotion Stock in this Company, nor is any stock issued for "Services Rendered." The stockholders are all on an equal standing with each other, all paying the same price, $30.00 per share, for their stock and each having an opportunity to purchase the same number of shares to the end that all may be treated alike and the control of the organization by a few owners prevented.

REESE'S CONFESSION EXONERATES DONALDSON (Continued From First Page) he reeled, staggered—collapsed. "I can't sit down," he screamed. "See, they're hanging—hanging me. I can't stand it. I'll tell the truth, I'll tell it all." As the clock broke the coming of the twelfth hour Reese confessed. Two a.m. found him with two policemen standing before what had for nine days been the grave of his wife, a lot at 36th street. Willing hands piled picks of novels, and soon the body of the woman came out. "First the two arms, cut from their sleeves the body cut in twain at the trunk. Where was the head?" To these questions Reese turned away in sphinx-like silence. Defender Theory Clears Mystery The testimony in question by Reese at the coroner's inquest given at the sitting at Green's morgue, 38th and State streets, which implicated Donaldson in the aiding of dismembering the body and his making away with the head upon the payment of $25 from Reese, failed to satisfy Defender reporters investigating the case. Working upon the theory that Reese must have cut up his wife in the bathhut his husband and then drained the water. Officers continued to scoffed at the theory and remained idle in their efforts to satisfy it. Late that evening, Armstrong was reached, and he promised his aid in the matter. Sunday evening while Defender reporters and police were preparing to visit the Reese apartment and make a chemical analysis of the bathtub chiming. Armstrong again visiting Reese, Armstrong had got the confession that cleared Donaldson's eyes and would liberate Donaldson.

Poose (white), a recluse, shot and killed the person as he was en route home in an automobile with his wife. This happened on Sept. 24. Today Poose is in the county jail awaiting trial on a charge of murder. He is a man about 50 years old, and has lived alone in an old hut in the northeast part of town for several years. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER OFFICERS DIG WOMANS BODY FROM GROUND (Continued·From First Page) trolmen to the place where he had buried his wife's head on the morning of Saturday, Déc. 6. It required only a few minutes' search to find the scarred head which had been carefully planted under a pile of bricks in a deserted space at 10th street, near Wentworth avenue. Resso said he threw the knife that he used in hacking up the body in a lot, but could not point out the place. The head of the dead woman was terribly battered. A deep cash was in the left temple, the left jawbone AT INCREMENT Mrs. Katie Jacobs smashed into splinters, and an ugly wound was found in the mouth. The appearance of the neck indicated that Reese had great difficulty in separating it from the body. The officers removed the head to the undertaking assistance of Mrs. Reese, who the rest of Mrs. Reese's body was held for positive identification. Woman Is Missing The ghost of the crime did not seemingly haunt Reese, for after cutting up his wife's body in the bathtub he repaired to bed and slept soundly throughout the night, and the next morning ate a hearty breakfast. He was preparing to go to work at the Stock Yards on the morning of Dec. 5 when the telephone bell rang. On the morning of Dec. 6, the Mr. Wrake Belle Enix, 3348 State Street, spoke to Mrs. Reese, whom she had known for the past ten years. Reese informed Mrs. Enix that his wife had left him and had taken all of her clothes along with her. His talk was jerky; he muttered at times. Fearing that something had happened to Mrs. Reese, as she had always warned her friends that in the event she disappeared suddenly to call in the police, Mrs. Enix notified the detective bureau and asked for an investigation. Reese Arrested Detective Sergeant Sloope was assigned to the case and at 11:30 Saturday night, Dec. 6th, he called at Reese's home. It required fully an hour for the officer to gain entrance to the apartment. Reese declared that he was in bed and did not hear the officer knock. While Sloope was questioning Reese he noticed blood stains on the latter's shirt. "What about this blood on your shirt?" the officer asked. "Well, you know I work at the Stock Yards and I think I got that there while wiping off hogs." Reese said. His story did not suit the detective's plan, but he awaited the city chemist's report on the analysis of the blood stains found on NEWARK NUGGETS Newark, N. J., Dec. 19—The Community Service Club is a be a hive of activities among which are a class in domestic science, Ladies' Glee club and classes in music, health, recreation, dramatics, home economics, also special groups in business, civic responsibility, current events, first aid and travel.

When confronted with the testimony of City Chemist McNally that the spots found on the clothing were human blood, Reese admitted killing his wife, and told where he buried her. The journey of the officers to the death field followed. Testimony at Ingusst At the inquest held last Saturday at the undertaking parlor of J. H. Green, 3832 State street, Mrs. Lenora Bell, a neighbor of Mrs. Reese, testified that on Tuesday, Dec. 2, Mrs. Reese said her husband got up in the middle of the room and entered the room to the dresser and secured his revolver. He came to the bed with the weapon in his hand, but when she saw it she asked him for a glass of water. Reese, she said, slipped the revolver under his pillow, and when he went to the room, she had hidden it. Mrs. Bell said that Mrs. Reese always lived in fear of her husband. Others who gave testimony of similar character were Mrs. Cora Holt, 3858 Wabash avenue; Mrs. Marie M. Glappran, 3747 Indiana avenue. Heard Body Fall The nearest approach to witnessing the murder on the part of the neighbors, was that of Mrs. Katie Jacobs, 2658 Wabash, who occupies the flat below the Reesees. She said that about 10 o'clock on the night of Dec. 5 she sounded to her as if a chair had fallen. She remarked to the roomers that she belooved Reese and his wife were fighting, but they paid little attention to her and the subject was dropped. During the testimony of witnesses who were acquainted with Mrs. Reese it was offered that Reese had to be pardoned to救死 his wife. At one time she told friends that Reese had tried to give her poison through whisky. On another occasion he chased her from home with a butcher knife and his madness was checked he came into the arms of Officer Branford. Down 717 and streets, Mrs. Emil added to this series of attacks the story that Reese had once shot at his wife when they were staying at 3640 Wabash avenue. Reese Accused Wife Reese, the confessed wife murderer, was born in Birmingham, Ala. He is of slender proportions, weighing about 135 pounds. For twenty-five years he was employed on the railroads as Pullman porter and dining car waiter. His wife, Marjorie, died in Michigan Central running to Buffalo, N. Y. He had been married for about eight years, but his home life was often disturbed through jealousy on his part. He is said to have accused his wife of being too familiar with other men, and it is said, that on the night of his tragic death he admitted that she no longer needed for bed. Reese says these words alone led him to commit the murder. Mrs. Mary Reese, the dead woman, was born in Mayville, Ky., where her brother, Henry Williams, a wealthy planter, still resides. She came to Chicago about fifteen years ago, and later met Reese. She often left him during their eight years of married life because of his jealousy, and only a few months ago returned to him upon his plea that he waa a "changed man and was going to do right." attending the cemetery submitted at the request, the coroner's jury, of which June Toussy was foreman, held Reese to the grand jury on a charge of murder, and Donaldson as accessory to the fact. The confession made by Reese on Monday may gain Donaldson his freedom. ```markdown ``` NEW TREATMENT THAT KNOCKS RHEUMATISM 75c BOX FREE TO ANY SUFFERER Up in Syracuse, N.

Dept. 688 Chicago, IL Cummins replied that, while he certainly was favorably disposed to legislation of that kind, it would be imminent that he would amend any such amendment to the bill now, as the bill had already been reported out of committee and was now on the floor, and the amendment of this kind would surely hold up the passage of the bill, bringing forth short and telling remarks that the speakers attempted to make the issue one, holding that the Republican party has the votes to pass the measure, the people should show that our people should show that of waiting for some one to champion our cause was a poor one. The senator words seemed to impress his audience, and he said saying he certainly favored the bill would do what he could, and advised the delegation to stir up sentiment among the country, since, he added, "that is the only bill becomes a law." The senator from Iowa was thanked by the delegation, the left, bent on lining up other members, the cordially, the delegation determined to see Senator Frelinghausen from New York who had promised his constituency, such a bill seven months ago, failed to keep his word, and Senator Calder. Their efforts however were not met, and when Senator Calder (now New York) interviewed. By now the delegation had dwindled to John M. Royer, Senator Watson and Charles T. Magell, Senator. The senator was favorably disposed, but seemed seeing also Senator Watson (Indiana) and neither of those men would be the desired lestiation, would her Mr. Calder promptly replied that he would.

Back again to the Senate delegation, he developed that the Maryland senator was ill and confined to bed. How- ever, he proposed against the men versant with the matter and showed the delegation proofs that Mr. Francis proposed to interstate treaty and tended to introduce it shortly. While such an amendment or bill will vary from one state to another, serve to stir up that sentiment which Senator Cummins advised. Plainly it is nowhere to our people as to what he should do on all such matters in the future. Smith Wine Test Case Nine of our chircopists who applied for membership in the New York State Bar Association, two white doctors applied, were refunded admission on February 11, 1991. Dr. J. R. Hillery took the matter to court last June and through Justice Thos. F. Donatello, the Supreme Court to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. Here a writ was granted, compelling the New York State Bar Association to membership all applicants of our Race; and the society was taxed $60 costs for the retusal. The decision was a victory for the society in criminal against our people by professional and scientific doctors. Doctor John R. Hillery, Blasse, Jones, and Jas. S.

James Reese Europe, the founder of the club on May 9 at Wellington Wright, a drummer in Europe's famous jazz band while he was conducting a performance at ochacha hall. Besson, the club's new home, a project of worthy consideration is also at stake. The spirit is meant to support this organ, the full arm of the New York office of the Defender in this undertaking.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT BUREAU OF WAR RISK INSURANCE IN THESE days of industrial unrest one likes to recall the words of that great American, Theodore Roosevelt, There is room in this country for but one flag and that is the American Flag." There is just one kind of "ism" that will promote industrial peace, clean cut, square deal, courageous Americanism. The Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Company takes the position that now as never before America needs unquestioned loyalty and patriotism and that just as Our Boys made glorious the pages of history by their deeds of daring and heroism Over There, we should further brighten its pages by presenting to the world a solid unbroken front of old time Americanism over here; that the Negro should take a lead in this respect, approaching the ```markdown ``` Yesterday when the destructive forces of civilization were more intensely active than the constructive we logically thought in terms of war. But today, as the smoke of battle fades and the constructive forces again come into their own, we find the Nation giving birth to institutions and ideas in keeping with the reconstructive tendencies of the hour. The fact that our old ship of state is drifting back to the shores of normality so well and so rapidly indicates that we are pursuing a better course than nations usually follow, after they have been tossed about by the angry waves of war. Uncle Sam realized the need of some permanent institution to protect the interests of the men who protected him, and today the Bureau of War Risk Insurance stands out conspicuously as that institution. It is safe to say the Bureau has not only justified its establishment, but that it is justifying its continued existence. During the time when the flower of our nation was called to the colors, it was Government Insurance that gave to every commissioned officer and enlisted man greater protection for themselves and their dependents, and strengthened their courage as they went forth to battle. Thus, it is seen, that war put the Government into the life insurance business. It rightly assumed the war risk to which its soldiers exposed themselves in defense of the country. In proper discharge of that obligation it decided not to cancel the special relationship that the war set up. The machinery of Government Insurance now is running smoothly, and, as a means of rewarding valiant service rendered, Uncle Sam is allowing his war veterans to continue their Government insurance. This insurance is offered at less than it costs the Government to run the business. All deficiencies are met out of the funds in the Treasury of the United States. Nearly $40,000,000,000 worth of War Risk Insurance was carried by the 4,539,048 service men during the war. This is a greater amount than the combined insurance written by all insurance companies in this country. Approximately $2,500,000,000 worth of this insurance was carried by the 402,387 Colored service men who answered the Nation's call to arms. Thousands of Colored soldiers, who little dreamed of being protected by insurance before the war, proudly made application for $10,000 of War Risk Insurance. That same protection is as necessary in time of peace as it was in time of war. Life is always uncertain, and we should always be prepared to protect our dependents as best we can. Regrettable as it may seem, a large per cent of our Colored soldiers and sailors, who again are in civilian life, are allowing their War Risk Insurance policies to lapse. Since practically all of the beneficiaries are within the race, think what it will mean to our economic development, if a considerable amount of this insurance is saved. Government Insurance should be especially attractive to Colored soldiers and sailors. It is a known fact that ordinary life insurance companies contend that the mortality rate among Negroes is higher than among white people; and, for this reason, many refuse to insure Colored persons, and those who do insure us charge higher rates than they do for whites. This fact should encourage former service men to hold on to their Government Insurance. When we speak of the advantages of Government Insurance we are not criticising the private companies, especially THE CHICAGO DEFENDER FOR THE BEST AMERICANISM OF CATORS, WRITERS, EDIT one likes to recall the Theodore Roosevelt, for but one flag and there is just one kind ace, clean cut, square Madam C.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT J OF WAR RISK INSU those of the race. They are offering the best policies they can, under the law, at as reasonable rates as possible. Here are some facts concerning Government Insurance which every former service man should know and consider: By virtue of a recent ruling made by Secretary Glass of the U. S. Treasury lapsed policies may be reinstated without paying back premiums covering the period of lapsation. It is only necessary to pay the premiums for the first month in which the policy lapsed and for the month in which application is made for reinstatement. If the policy-holder is unable to keep the full amount of the War Risk Insurance he carried while in the service, he may reinstate any part of it from $1,000 up to $10,000 in multiples of $500. Reductions may be made in multiples of $500 to any amount, but not less than $1,000. The ordinary "term" insurance, that was carried by our service men during the war, may be carried at the same rate five years after the signing of peace. At any time before the expiration of five years, this war term insurance may be converted into one of the following: 1. ORDINARY LIFE. 2. TWENTY-PAYMENT LIFE 3. THIRTY-PAYMENT LIFE. 4. TWENTY-YEAR ENDOWMENT. 5. THIRTY-YEAR ENDOWMENT. 6. ENDOWMENT MATURING AT AGE 62. The converted policies are from $10.00 to $12.00 cheaper a year on each $1,000 worth of insurance than policies offered by private companies, and no physical or medical examination is necessary for the conversion of policies. This is an important thing, because many of the ex-service men could not pass a rigid physical examination today. Government Insurance Policies contain a liberal disability clause. When the insured becomes totally and permanently disabled, either by accident or by natural illness, he does not have to pay any more premiums, and the Government pays him the full monthly sum called for by his policy every month, no matter how long he may live. Furthermore, one insured by the Government may engage in any occupation, no matter how hazardous, or may travel anywhere without affecting his insurance, providing he continues the payment of his premiums. Government Insurance is non-taxable and non-assignable. It is protected from the claims of creditors. Moreover, neither the insured nor the beneficiary can ever pawn a Government Insurance policy and thereby lose the fruits of honest and noble sacrifice. The Government has incorporated into every insurance policy issued, guaranteed values which are the full reserves without any deductions, the same to take effect after the policy has been in force one year. Cash surrender values and cash loan values, which have been provided, together with other usual features contained in the policies issued by life insurance companies, help to make these Government policies of the highest value to the insured. Another feature of Government life insurance is the provision for monthly installments to the beneficiaries, instead of the payment in a lump sum. This has been criticised by those who have not given it the proper consideration, but it is really one of the most important advantages of Government Insurance. Statistics show that of the proceeds of all insurance policies, more than 65 per cent is lost within six years after ABOVE SPACE DONATED BY alker Mfg.

Income insurance undoubtedly is the best kind for the beneficiaries of our Colored service men, who, for the most part, are unaccustomed to handling large sums of money. Many would lose the money altogether by spending it foolishly, by unwise investments, or in other ways. However, this feature will in all probability, be changed very soon, in order to give the insured a chance to choose between the lump sum and the installment plan of payment. The opportunity which is now offered service men to continue their Government insurance is one that no soldier can afford to overlook. It is a rare opportunity and any good insurance man will admit it. Should you meet an insurance agent who speaks discouragingly concerning Government Insurance, you may be sure that he is either uninformed or has a personal or selfish interest which he is hoping to serve. There are more than 50,000 insurance agents enrolled as boosters of Uncle Sam's Insurance. It is indeed interesting to note the number of inquiries that are pouring into this office from women and children of the race who have been reached by our campaign of contact and who have some relative or loved one whose Government insurance policy they are anxious to save. In the far Southland, whence a very considerable number of our Colored troops came, we know of a family that gave their bread-earners to Uncle Sam, all of whom went out upon that journey from which no mortal returns and are now closed in behind those gates from which no mortal ever escapes. Two of those three sons died in battle; they each carried $10,000 of Government Insurance which now pays their beneficiaries $115.00 every month. The third son returned from war unscarred and healthy. He returned to civil life and allowed his Government Insurance to lapse and, in all probability, would have lost his claim to this valuable protection had it not been for the women folk of the family, who learned, by reading the papers, that Uncle Sam was allowing his service men to reclaim their Government Insurance policies. Immediately, the mother and sisters began to urge the returned soldier of the family to have his war policy reinstated. The young man had only been reinstated two months when he was thrown from a horse and killed. Sad as it may be that all three erstwhile bread-earners of this family are gone, under present conditions their dependents are receiving $172.50 each month by virtue of the Government insurance that they prudently carried. This is a concrete illustration of the material advantage that Government insurance offers. Let this become a lesson to all wives, sweethearts and other loved ones of our ex-service men. Get busy at once and urge HIM to save his Government Insurance. Finally, it is hoped that in years to come, the War Risk Policy will be a safeguard to the home of every Colored war veteran in America, just as it was a means of sustaining the civic fabric and morale of our Colored citizens while their representatives helped safeguard the honor and the integrity of the Nation, and just as it is a safeguard to the home of the family spoken of above, which would otherwise be in destitute circumstances.

"Mr. Madden—I want to see the laws of the United States uniform in their treatment of all citizens of the United States. Mr. Madden of Louisiana—I beg your pardon. You did not want to see them so applied very recently. Mr. Madden—I do. Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—But you did not. You absolutely opposed prohibition, not uniform throughout the United States. Mr. Madden—I was opposed to it, but I want the laws made uniform throughout the United States. Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—Yes; you want uniformly wet, because you voted wet. Mr. Madden—I voted wet. "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—Then you wanted them to be uniformly wet. "Mr. Madden—I voted wet. "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—And you wanted to force us in my country to be wet. "Mr. Madden—You wanted the people in our country to be dry. "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—Yes; and we have forced you to be dry. "Mr. Madden—Yes; and that being true, right from the logic of your own reasoning, you can not take away the rights of these people; you can not deny the rights of these people." Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—We forced both white and black to be dry. Mr. Madden—Then you can not deny the rights of these people to equal rights. Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—We are not denying them any rights. "Mr. Madden—You deny them the equal right of travel. The very statement you have made commits you to the justice of the proposition presented in this bill. "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—You were not in favor of uniform laws on the question? "Mr. Madden—Yes; I am in favor of uniform laws. "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—But you "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—But you absolutely opposed that proposition. assumably opposed that proposition. Mr. Madden—You are mistaken about the bill that you are making the gentleman to make that statement. I have my views as to what the uniform laws should be, and the gentleman has his views as to what the uniform laws should be. Now, the mere fact that the gentleman was on one side of the case and I was on the other is no evidence that either one of us was opposed to the laws of law. Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—I understand that you are in favor of uniform wet laws throughout the country. Mr. Madden—That has nothing to do with this case. I do not think the gentleman has any right to interrogate me along this line. Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—I have the right to interrogate you on this bill but I have the right it is my duty, to find out your viewpoint on all these questions, so as to make up my mind as to the underlying motive of the bill. Mr. Madden—The underlying motive of the bill is just what I have said. I have expressed my view, and I do not think anybody will have much doubt as to what the gentleman's views are. "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—Not the slightest in the world. "Mr. Ray, arn—Do you believe in absolute equality between the races as fair travel is concerned? "Mr. Rayburn—Do you believe in absolute social equality in everything, social and otherwise, between the whites and the blacks? "Mr. Madden—I believe the races can settle the question of their own affairs, and that they will settle their own affairs, and that they will own satisfaction. This is a public function. This is a public function performed by the common carriers of the United States, and as common carriers the question of social rating does not enter into their functions. "Mr. Rayburn—Well, it is the very mess of what you have been talking about. You are forcing them to ride in the same coach, whether they want to or not. "Mr. Madden—They do it now everywhere except in a few States. Mr. Rayburn—I understand, and I know the sections of the country where but you not ride in the same coach, but you bring them on equality, social and otherwise. Do you believe in social equality between the races in all things? "Mr. Madden—I think the gentleman understands what my position is. "Mr. Rayburn—I have never heard the gentleman state. "Mr. Madden—The gentleman has just told me state it. That is a question now that does not enter into this contention. "Mr. Rayburn—The gentleman refuses to answer the question? "Mr. Madden—I have answered it. Mr. Chairman, there are three or four people here who will take up but a very short time before the committee. I would like to remain, but it is necessary for me to take a train to New York. "The Chairman—We would like very much to have this matter concluded this morning, because there are other out-of-town witnesses who will appear this afternoon. "Mr. Madden—I desire to thank the committee very much for its courteous bearing and trust that when the railroad legislation now under consideration formulated it will contain the provision embraced in the bill I have discussed. "As the proponent of this legislation and member of that party which, through the exercise of the collective wisdom of the Nation, has become the ```markdown ``` MRS. E. G. FULTON PAGE 1EN (Continued from last week) "Mr. Madden—A good many are making efforts to bring them back after they have moved away, but without success. Mr. Sanders of Louisiana — They are moving away and coming back. And in spite of the fact that they are moving away, the course whelming majority of the Negro race today lives in the South. Hon. Martin Madden "Mr. Madden—of course; everybody adults that. "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana — And they have under the laws and conditions that exist. "Mr. Madden—Oh, yes; but they can not get away. "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana--Why can't they get away?" "Mr. Madden—During the war, of course, conditions were such industrially that we had to make war supplies. A number of men were taken out of industry in the North, and that required them to come from other sections of the South to find food supplies, making war supplies, and where they could not make them; and I suppose there was an effort made to bring a great many Negroes from the South to the North. "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—You speak about the war, but don't you remember the great exodus of the late seventies? Mr. Madden—Every once in a while people move from the South to the North. They are moving from the South toward the North as fast as they can, because industrial conditions are much better and they are treated more like men. "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—Notwithstanding the exodus that began in the late seventies, and that has been going on for a few months ago, still the overwintering mortality of the Negroes live in the South. "Mr. Madden—Still, I do not know what that has got to do with the bill. Even if they live in the South, they ought to be treated like the people who live in the North." "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—They are. Mr. Madden—I am glad to hear you say that, but I doubt it." "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—They are treated a great deal better in my section of the country than they were recently treated in Chicago, where you are." "Mr. Madden—Of course, the Chicago situation was one of those unfortunate things that nobody could account for. It has happened here, there, and everywhere. Nobody knows what brings it about; nobody can tell. I deplore it. I don't know what happened to the treated better in my section of the country than they were in East St. Louis, another city in your State." "Mr. Madden—There was another case that can not be explained. "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—They are treated better in my community than they were treated in Springfield a few years ago, the capital of your State. They have nothing whatever to do with the merits of the bill that I am proposing. "Mr. Madden—No; not anything to do with it." "Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—In other words, you bring in a bill here which, effect, would force the Negro into military service if you bring in a bill that the very best thought of the Negro race does not want. "Mr. Madden—I am bringing a bill here to give the Negro, as a citizen of the United States, the same privileges under the government under which he is as given citizens of other races. Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—No; you do not. You bring in a bill to force the Negro to ride in the white man's coach, and force the white man to ride in the Negro's coach, perspective of the wishes and desires of either race. Mr. Sanders of Louisiana—This condition already exists everywhere in the United States except in a few States.

We abandoned our national policy of international isolation as a war measure in order that we might present with our gallant allies closed ranks to a common enemy of treedom. As a result America has become a world power with all the resources which such a position entails. We gave both blood and treasure of our Nation, black blood and white, to confer upon the peoples of Europe freedom from the brutish, crushing, soul-deadening blight of "kultur." I take it that it will require no great sacrifice for us to lay prejudices in order that the peoples of our own country made politically free. We have vanquished the enemy in the field of force; we have yet to vanquish him in the more subtle field of government. He is at our throats with his insidious, pernicious doctrines. He is ready to seize upon those phases of our national life with most logically offer points of attack, and to use them as allies and trusting thereby to weaken him, to stroke our position in international politics and destroy our internal political cohesiveness. "Our most adequate weapon of defense is our Americanism; and Americanism which knows no man politicized against us; and Americanism of his forbears; an Americanism which puts the ideals of his country above his personal prejudices; an Americanism which does not corrupt the pure nature of our nation. Life by the enactment of our laws is in which every man is admittedly a law unto himself, into public statutes." BIRMINGHAM, ALA. By Mrs. K. K.

MUSIC The majority of the Saturday night clientele were unprepared for the exhibiting program presented, beginning with the first two symphony and including the second symphony by Rachmaninov and Beethoven's 5th concerto, interpreted by Benno Moisewitz. Stock fairly revolved in Rachmaninov's symphony and the play-walert to his magnetic directorship, gave the number a fascinating reading which called forth thunderous applause. He stood to stand and acknowledge the ovation. The most striking part of the program, however, was the first appearance of Benno Moisewitz, a youth from London some eight years, giving over 100 recitals for the effete Europeans. His art is much like that of Hefetzte—technical beyond contradiction, yet surprisingly interesting, matured for its His playing of the E flat concerto, ponderous and weighty, spelled instantaneous success, for the musical pedalboard agreed again until Mr. Stock contends to rules to reappear. This time it was the C sharp etude by Chopin, done in an unbeard of tempo, with coloration of tonal gradations that swept the audience in frighty frenzy, the applause continuing until he appeared the third time. His welcome by Chicago musicians is significant, for the musical barometer is numerous aspirants. His first recital is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, Jan. 4, at Orchestra hall, and musicians as well as music lovers will not err in attending. It is obvious that the most purrurious man may understand, and to the profession he brings many new translations of old masters. k Church Touches Button Rivals Planets The planets which assembled in the heavens Dec. 18 in an array that started astronomers and fakers alike, causing some to predict the end of the world, were unlucky so far as the naked eye was used.

SURGEON ISSUES I NINE HUNDRED CASES I HEALTH SURGEON GENERAL BLUE ISSUE TAKE PROPER Dr. Rupert Blue, surgeon general of the United States public health service, wants the public and the authorities to be on guard against the recurrence this fall of the influenza epidemic. In a statement issued last week, he says that the most promising way to deal with this situation is expressed in the word "preparedness," "and NOW is the time to prepare," the surgeon general added. Dr. Otto Geier of Cincinnati, secretary of the American Medical Association, says, "if you hope to keep your health this autumn, get yourself in the pink of physical condition, and take all possible precautions to avoid infection. The Flu is going to hit us again, and the amount of damage it will do depends largely upon how well we prepare for it. In the face of this certainty that we will have to combat influenza this fall, we are totally unprepared to do go." Doctors are agreed that precautionary measures are more necessary than over before. The secret of avoiding influenza is to keep the germs from lodging in the clothing in the respiratory organs—the utmost care should be taken not to catch cold, for colds weaken the resistance to influenza germs.

SERVICE UES WARNING FOR PEOPLE TO PRECAUTIONS should be allowed to breathe in your face because the garmis are often transmitted in this manner. Finally a good antiseptic should be used frequently. Physicians endorse the use of antiseptics to protect the air passages. Turpo is an effective antiseptic, combining the old-fashioned remedies of turpentine, camphor and menthol in a pure mineral base. These ingredients have long been recognized as effective antiseptics, as well as having really wonderful qualities in relieving colds and congestions. As a preventive for Flu, Turpo up the nostrils several times daily, and the Flu will have little chance of getting lodging and breeding place. Many physicians and hospitals use and recommend Turpo. The fact that for the week there were nine hundred cases of influenza reported to the United States Health Service makes it important that you buy a thirty-cent jar of Turpo of your druggist now while he has a supply of hand, and use as directed. If in spite of all precaution Spanish influenza develops, go to bed and summon a physician. Influenza is a serious malady and requires the best medical attention.

The lives and freedom of many men have been at stake the past week in the different criminal courts of Cook county. Fate has been kind to a few, to others it has dealt harshly. Three were sentenced to the penitentiary at Joliet for life, one was given twenty years, and four were given their freedom. In Chief Justice Robert E. Crowes' court, after an examination of 143 men, which consumed a week's time, twelve were finally chosen to try John Washington, 19 years old, 3648 Rhodes avenue, 19 years old, 3648 Rhodes avenue, 28 years old, 3811 Rhodes avenue, born in Natural Bridge, VA, and William Powell, 20 years old, 3823 Rhodes avenue, born in Salt Lake City, Utah, for the murder of George Kikens (white), an insurance agent of the Wee and Accident Co-billing from Chicago, who was killed by being shot in the back in front of 3825 Rhodes avenue July 30 last during the recent raco riot. Washington was given twenty years in prison while Anthony and John were given their freedom. This was the only one of the alleged riot cases where all the witnesses' were Race people. The attorneys on both sides, representing some of the best legal talent in the state, fought every step of the way, Washington being represented by James A. Scott and C. C. Roe; Powell Anthony; Moriartarity and J. L. Duffy; Anthony; Barbour and H. M. Porter, while the state was represented by Assistant State's (Attorneys) J. C. O'Brien and R. P. Rollo. All attorneys were white. Mrs. Mary Washington, 53 years old, 3526 Eden avenue, a member of Quinn chapel and a native of M. Sterling, Ky., was the state's state witness, but her testimony was uncorroborated. She testified Washington and Anthony had shown going to "pick" of her they were shown to a pistol; had told her they were some one end; Washington meaning a white man; Washington had said he would like to kill Detective Sergeant David Smith (Big Six); that when she heard the shot she knew some one had been killed, because there was no person living with any sense who does not know that goes off whether it has not struck some one; she saw Washington and Anthony with a gun running away from the scene of the crime; that she saw Mrs. Laura Wright, 3811 Rhodes avenue, put her arms around Washington and help Ohio: R.

On the other hand mine owish; beyond a reasonable return for the should expect nothing. The surplus by lowering the price of coal to the cost of the wage of the workers. The stage of the patience of the public exhausted. Under it requires the entire American fury. We have had the dark days, the cloud the sunshine, the light and prosperity. AMERICA HERALDED as the most prosperous country in the world. America with her unlimited resources, her ability to produce everything needed for man or beast within her own domain, today is facing a situation that forbodes anything but good for the nation, and only by careful and intelligent handling of the knotty questions by the powers that be, can she expect to smother all the disquieting forces and restore normal conditions. While the war largely contributed to the general unrest so pronounced the world over, and brought us a little sooner to the crisis, it had been apparent for several years previous to the beginning of hostilities that sooner or later the ever present disturbing factions, capital and labor, would clash. The preliminary skirmishes gave us a taste of what we might expect. DURING THE WAR we patiently put up with all kinds of inconveniences. Our manner of living was changed to suit the times. The rich and poor alike put their shoulders to the wheel and made the government machinery fairly hum. It was our duty and we gloried in being of service to our country, for the cause was a worthy one. The present muddle we find ourselves in is a horse of another color. We are fighting among ourselves for the whip hand, the almighty dollar, as usual, being the bone of contention, the contestants, capital and labor. THINK WHAT IT MEANS to have every important and essential industry in this big country closed. Thousands upon thousands of people jobless. The general public, especially the middle and lower classes, suffering for the want of food, heat and clothing, while the wintry blasts add but Job's comfort to the situation. The brains of the country have so far been unable to cope with the subject. The full government machinery has been set in motion with only partially favorable results. All admit that something must be done and done quick. WHEN IT COMES to advancing theories we find the woods full of theories; most of them are unworkable. Public sentiment seems to vacillate; one day it is on the side of labor, the next on the side of capital. There can be but one right way to settle any dispute, and that is by arbitration. By securing the candid and unbiased opinion of a committee of disinterested individuals. This means has repeatedly been resorted to in the coal and steel strikes, but the interested parties refuse to live up to the decisions unless they coincide with their viewpoint, so we have a deadlock. While the miners have tentatively accepted the 14 per cent increase and returned to work there is no certainty about their actions later. IT WOULD SEEM the part of wisdom to have government ownership of the mines, and if the government took immediate charge and operated under the open shop plan with the militia as a sedative for disturbers, our coal bins would be filled and the danger of freezing to death passed. THE AMERICAN MINER is the highest priced laborer in the world. Owing to the risky nature of his work he is entitled to a high wage, but his demands for an increase must be within bounds. He must not, tiger-like, pounce upon the innocent and with a strangle hold demand the last cent of profit or life. While the demand might be acceded to under duress, the after-clap will play havoc with the very roots of the organization he is trying to strengthen. On the other hand mine owners should not be hoggish; beyond a reasonable return for the money invested they should expect nothing. The surplus could be disposed of by lowering the price of coal to the consumer and advancing the wage of the workers. The stage of palliation has passed, the patience of the public exhausted. If to put our house in order it requires the entire American forces, let us have them. We have had the dark days, the cloudy days, now let us have the sunshine, the light and prosperity. HELPING THE NEEDY IN SUPREME OF THE FACT that the supply and that never before in the high, the poor are with us, not in such the charitable organizations to the old ships that have marked the proper words to argue that there is no peace. There has been and always way something by for the proverbial are some who through no fault of the agent's will need to the one who can witness the county agent's office waiting and up body and soul together without liberally of their store. The spat of all our confined to the delicat allure all our round whenever and what is found. ARE WE TO CONTINUE to be less every rough shot in life's way must OF THE FACT that the demand for labor is a almost never before in the history of the world have been with us, not in such large numbers but suffici- ent organizations to their limit, especially dur- ture that have marked the progress of this winter. It gives that there is no reason for one to be desti- tute has been and always will be the improvident ing by for the proverbial "rainy day". In additio is anything but welcome visitor at the one who can witness the lines of hungry, shiv- ten's office waiting and praying for the simple soul (together without going down deep in the y of their store). The spirit of Christmas, the combined to the Validite, as custom has dee- r round whenever and wherever a worthy cause. CONTINUE to be less charitable than those a short in life's way must we ask the other fellow IN SUPTE OF THE FACT that the demand for labor is greater than the supply and that never before in the history of the world have wages been so high, the poor are with us, not in such large numbers but sufficiently large to tax the charitable organizations to their limit, especially during these severe cold snaps that have marked the progress of this winter. It is a more waste of words to argue that there is no pension for one to be deprived in this hand of plenty. There has been and always will be the improvident class who fail to lay something by for the proverbial "mainy day". In addition to this class there are some who through no fault of their own themselves perniless, and who are unable to work because of the cold snaps. Indeed is the one who can witness the lines of hungry, shivering people at the county agents' office waiting and praying for the simple necessities to keep body and soul together without going down deep in their pocket and giving literally of their store. The spirit of Christmas, the spirit of giving, is continued to the Valide, as custom has decreed, but should continue all, can round whenever and wherever a worthy cause or a deserving being is found. ARE WE TO CONTINUE to be less charitable than those of other groups? At every rough shot in life's way must we ask the other fellow for assistance? With shortage of dependency greed the masses of Chicago during the racial riots of 1880 and 1881, the workers in the paper shop, and that they might not starve to death relief stations at several convenient points were established by the charitably inclined whites and basket of foods freely given. With shortage of DESDRIVE the poor the able-bodied men and women who formed these branches to experience to feel prepared themselves. Work was plentiful, wages high; under these conditions there would avoid excuse for not laying a portion of their earnings aside for just such a time. We are accused of being an improvident class and here is a concrete example of it. It is time we were developing racial pride. Time not only to be used for not being deprived of demonstration. Admitting that charity begins at home let us hereafter proceed to being prepared, we can then extend a helping hand to those less fortunate. IT SHOULD BE our pleasure as well as our duty to liberally support the established institutions working for our uplift and benefit and not make it necessary for them to depend for their support almost entirely on the munificence of our people. Have we no pride, no sense of the eternal flushes of things? Begrieve cannot help, nothing, not even respect. There is no better time than the present to throw away the old props and stand on our own feet. We can do it; we must do it. OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS BECAUSE WE ARE OPPOSED to racial proscription and official segregation some of our enemies on the other side contend that we are advocates of social equality. In this they are very much mistaken. We are not necessitating segregation on the other side, because being segregated. Whenever and wherever we choose to segregate ourselves own affair and with which we are satisfied. But we deny the right of any other class or group to lay down any rules or prescribe any regulations or make any boundary line contrary to our own wishes. We are not necessarily members of our group prefer to be somewhat exclusive. Most of us, for instance, prefer to churches presided over by ministers who are members of our group. Then in our international organizations and some other associations we prefer that the membership be confined within our ranks: in other words, segregation that is voluntary is not objectionable. This is not narrowness on our part, but it is not necessarily a violation of the existence of which we are not primarily responsible. Unlike some other associations average American white man laborers under the erosive impression that the Colored American considers himself benefited when brought in contact with them, socially or otherwise. But the only way in which we can establish the fact is to insist upon our right to the exercise and enjoyment of such rights and prevarications as are or should be applicable to all persons alike, regardless of racial differences or class distinctions. Socially speaking, there can be no such thing as social equality even among people of the same race and blood. It is impossible, for instance, for wealth and poverty to be separated. Social equality is the result of mutual and reciprocal contact. Every man CHICAGO DEFENDER ALL OF US SEGREGATION DISCRIMINATION CHICADO MADDEN AGAIN GOES TO BAT FOR THE RACE While in Washington the latter part of October, President H. L. Mays of the Railway Men's International Reflective Association wrote and presented four, proposed amendments to the pending railway bill which will govern the roads when returned to private ownership. The amendments would require the railway to be owned by President Mays and Judge W. L. Hunton, the association's Washington representative. Immediately the white brothershouses and railway unions sought to nocolize the machinery of the newly created Adjustment Boards, by offering the so-called Anderson amendment as a substitute for Title 3 of the hours bill, Mr. Madden went into action as seduced by his brother, Mr. Madden, who was the chairman of the board at the International headquarters in Chicago Monday night, the 25th of November, stated he would continue the fight on the floor of the House of Representatives. President Mays is again in Washington this week to urge support from Senators for the amendments. Mr. Madden's committee argument follows: Mr. Madden — of railway employees shall apply equally with Mr. Chirley — that the amendments will certainly fall into a class, regardless of their union, as amendment as a association, or federation affiliation. Mr. Barkley—Mr. Chairman, I make the point of order against the amendment. The Chairman—The gentleman will state the point of order. Mr. Barkley—The point of order is this: Nowhere in this bill or in the Anderson amendment is there any proposal to prescribe the qualifications of bill seekers only to dent with controversies arising between organizations as constituted under their rules and byways and railroads who employ men belonging to those organizations. The amendment offered by the gentleman from Illinois seeks to prescribe qualifications for membership in these various organizations, and therefore, from that standpoint it is, in any opinion, after which it is offered or to any part thereof. There is no provision in this bill seeking to limit the power of labor organizations and railroads to enter and therefore select his own associates to be selected. I GRADES of society among white people are as many among our own group, whites, who judge all of us by the juniors and men from our homes as from the homes face doesn't spell superiority to us, basis of social contact. Social equality. sumed to be master of his own home and therefore selects his own associates if the persons thus selected are willing to be selected. THEIR ARE MANY DIFERENT ADJES OF society among white people, who are more interested in there than among on our side, notwithstanding the opinion of some whites, who judge all of us by the jammers and servants with whom they are brought in contact. The under strata of the whites would be as rigidly excluded from our homes as from the homes of others of their own race. A pale face does not spell superiority to us. Racial success depends on the basis of social contact. Social equality, therefore, is a myth and a sham. HOW DID IT HAPPEN? tially terminated; the steel strike has had in the most disastrous and potential disasters. There is one phase of these strikes and, formally impressive, the past strikes these questions have been the right utilization of members of our not the case in these latter strikes and contend that the interests of the labor must not be different from that of the factory in which industrial assimilation, so can be made an accomplished fact. The sailors in the past has been the fault drawing the race line on the bars and doing away with race lines must necessarily disappear. We long men are realizing the fact that when they make merit and not race the THE COAL STRIKE has been officially terminated; the steel strike has had its backbone broken. These have been the most disastrous and potential disturbances this country has seen for years. There is one phase of these strikes with which we have been profoundly and favorably impressed—the race or principal bones of contention, through the utilization of members of our group as strike-breakers. That such was not the case in these latter strikes is to us a source of much gratification. WE HAVE CONTENDED and still contend that the interests of the laboring white man ought not to be and must not be different from that of the laboring black man, and that the race as far as the two races are concerned, can be made an accomplished fact. The employment of our men as strike-breakers in the past has been the fault chiefly of the white laboring man in drawing the race line in their organizations. Now that they are letting down the bars and doing away with race discrimination friction along industrial lines must necessarily disappear. We have no nothing to fear from us when they make merit and not race the basis of recognition. THE CONVENTION CITY committee acted wisely in selecting Chicago national convention. The fact has long pointed out that its city council points but its people are hospitable and be treated with warmth and cordiality, so one of the presidential aspirants will be a candidate for the national aspirant: on this particular point, if the Democratic national committee THE REPUBLICAN national committee acted wisely in selecting Chicago as the city in which to hold the next national convention. The fact has long since been demonstrated that Chicago is the convention city. It is not only the most accessible city in the selection of its people are hospitable and generous, the delegates will not only be treated with hospitality, but the citizens will see to it that no one of the presidential aspirants will have any just cause to complain of not receiving a square deal. The selection was not in the interest of any particular aspirant; on this particular point there is no significance in the selection. If the Democratic national committee holds the convention and the indications are that the candidates nominated may not get the electoral votes of this state, still the delegates will receive the same courteous treatment and will be as hospitably entertained as the Republicans. WITH CHRISTMAS only five days off the late shopper will have poor pickings, as the merchants say never before have they had such a holiday rush or sold more high priced goods. AS SOON as the cool wind ended the weather got warmer. Looks like there was some collusion with the weather man. A TUSKEGEE PROFESSOR has produced from peanuts a milk that is a good substitute for cow's milk, but he doesn't say what the price will be a pint. Mr. Madden — Mr. Chuman, an amendment as a new section at the end of the Anderson, amendment, which sent to the House and asked to have read. Hon, Martin Madden The Clerk read as follows: followers of offers the following amendment as a new amendment: the Anderson amendment; "that no carrier shall be required or approval of "that no carrier Hon. Martin under the control of Madden the federal Government shall enter into or be bound by any contract or agreement with any union, association, or federation of employees which excludes from membership in such organization American citizens; and provided that all rules and practices governing the rates of pay and working conditions into contracts of any sort that they may, so fit to enter into. The amendment of, the gentleman from Illinois seeks to limit railroads, now under Government entering into contracts with labor organizations prescribed in the hill. Mr. Madden—Mr. Chairman, there can be no question but that, under the potent for the railroads to enter into contracts with their employees, and the bill, provides by the amendment already added that negotiations to settle disputes with the employees of railroads shall be adjudicated by the commission that is sought to be appointed under the bill, and the section which it offers as a new section to provide that railroads shall not be permitted to contract with organizations their membership native-born Americans, it can not be said that it is a violation of the terms of the bill, as the amendment the amendment is germane because it deals with the very thing that the so-called Anderson amendment provides. It is provided in that amendment that the employees of railroads shall sit for the purpose of adjusting differences between employer and employees, and that as a result the employees shall sit for the purpose there shall be contracts entered into and that the contracts shall be entered into between the railroad companies on the railroad companies on the That being the case, there can be no question, about germenance. There can be no question, in my judgment, about the provisions of this law, to the provisions of the bill which relates to labor and labor disputes and contracts. What do we propose to authorize negotiations upon if there are to be no contracts? We propose to say that the union will propose to negotiate the provisions of the railways shall appoint representatives to negotiate on behalf of their unions if there are to be no contracts? There are to be contracts, I maintain, that the union will propose to limit the unions to provide that they shall not be entered into between the railroad companies and any organization that prohibits the admission of native Americans of their membership. Americanism is a time to talk about Americanism. We were talking about the foreign-born men being in these unions and destroying the fabric of American Government. Mr. Madden—I decline to yield just now. Mr. Bee—Thank you. Mr. Madden—If there ever was a time when we ought to talk, practice, and legislate for Americanism, this is the place. (Appease it) say, Mr. Chadwick, and members of the committee, that this is a proper provision, that it speaks for itself on its face, and what I propose to do is to make it the place of organizations of employees by forgers, but to prohibit those organizations from entering into any contract with an employee where the organization itself employs a native-born American. I maintain that the section which I have handed in, in the form of an amendment, is only germane to the section which proceeds it but it is germane to the bill itself. Mr. Bee- Will the gentleman now field? Mr. Madden—I will Mr. Bee—I understand the gentleman's amendment provides that these unions shall not keep from their membership the native-born Americans? Mr. Bee—But the gentleman does not go further and say that they shall keep out of their organization alien anarchists. Mr. Madden—I am willing to add that—Mr. Bee—But you did not in your amendment. Mr. Madden—If the gentleman will not amend it, I will be glad to accept it. Mr. Bee—But the gentleman does not provide for it. Mr. Madden—I think, we are dealing out with America, and I do not think there is any better time than right here to do PREVENTIVE MEASURES, FIRST AID REMEDIES HYGIENICS AND SANITATION We are pleased, to note the following observations made on Rules of right living by Prof. Irving Fisher: Deep Breathing He advises to breathe deeply—breathing should be deep, low, regular and through the nose and not through the mouth. The dust of a nose is to collect air, warm the air and purify the air before it enters the respiratory tract and lungs. If we do not practice deep breathing occasionally, part of the lungs may be blocked up by deep breathing more air is inhaled each time and the unused air is expelled. Dr. A. W. Williams function of the nose is to collect air, warm the air that passes air before it enters the respiratory tract and the lungs. We use to practice deep breathing occasionally, part of the lungs may be uselessly deep doe'r breathing more air is inhaled each time and the amused lung that is not brought into activity in ordinary breathing, is expanded, and therefore, more oxygen is received, however, is not inhaled and is often harmful. A good practice would be on rising in the morning, to stand before a hoist window and take in savory arms or you may not, but stand perfectly erect, breathe gently through your nose and not through your mouth. Kinds of Food Foods are divided into two kinds: First-Repair Foods—Those which build up and keep the body repaired. Second-Repair Foods—Those which produce heat and energy. The repair foods are called proteins or nitrogenous foods. The fuel foods are called fats and carbohydrates. Grown up people and those doing light office work do not need as much repair food as those growing or those cide that we are for America and Americans. (Appeause.) Mr. Carss—WILL the gentleman yield for a question? Mr. Madden—Yes, sir. Mr. Carss—Would the gentleman prohibit an organisation that barred Negroes from joining making a contract? Mr. Madden—In formal corporate business, be cause they are native-born Americans. Mr. Nolan—Will the gentleman yield? what organization bars native-born Americans? Mr. Madden—They all bar them. If a large section of the American citizenship is, only to be used when the country is in danger to carry a weapon, it should be considered as worthy of membership in organizations who are entitled to make contracts with their employers; equal rights of American citizenship. Mr. Nolan—Will the gentleman yield further? Mr. Madden—The time has come when are all, without fear, we should stand up here and defend the rights of those loyal men who have defended the American flag, who have made it safe that the Republic might endure. If they are to be discriminated against on every occasion, now is the time to say so. Will the gentleman yield for a question? Mr. Anderson—Mr. Chairman, I would like to be heard on the point of order. The Chairman—The Chair would like to hear the gentleman. Mr. Anderson—Mr. Chairman, I desire to make the further point of order that in order not to infringe any other amendment is in order at this time. Mr. Madden—I am offering it as a committee. Mr. Anderson—The committee has agreed to a substitute for section 300, and all of the sections following committee has by a vote stricken out of the title all of the sections which were it when reported. The substitute which has been adopted as the Chair has already adopted the subject to amendment, and there is therefore nothing pending before the amendment which the amendment of the gentleman is already adopted as an amendment, and therefore the amendment is clearly not in order under the section which the committee has adopted by the committee the provision; "That no carrier under the control is supervision of the Federal Government may contract or agreement with any union, association, or federation of employees which excludes from membership native-born American citizens; Provided, That all rules and practices governing the rate of pay and working hours apply equally and importantly to all employees of a class, regardless of their union, association, or federation affiliation. The amendment is now in order and germane it must be by reason of something that is slow in the bill permanently. The only thing in the bill now under the head of labor disputes is what has been termed in the committee the Anderson amendment which was adopted." The Anderson amendment deals with the method of adjusting controversies between the carriers and their employees, the wages, hours of service, conditions of employment, and controversies arising from the interpretation of wage agreement. It sets up a machinery to determine the method of determining the method for making their findings effective, it seems to the Chair that an amendment proposed to limit the control or freezing of workers or their employees—to enter into contracts or agreements is not germane to a proposition providing for the settlement of disputes; that is to say, that adjustment and determination of dis who do laborious work, although a certain amount of repair food or protein must be eaten every day to replace worn-out food. Wear out. If more repair food is taken than we really need, the surplus food decays in the bowels and makes poisons known as self, poison or autoimmune over, incation of, repair foods, throws additional work, upon certain secretory and excretory organs of the body such as the liver, the kidneys, etc. and, in other organs, the riddled function of certain poisons. The two proteins or repair foods most commonly used and often badly used are meat and eggs. It too much meat and eggs are eaten than it needs and as a result, we have self poison. We should, beware of using too much salt, meats in winter, if our exercise is introduced below normal. Various Kinds of Food We should eat more hard foods—most people eat too much soft foods. Among the beneficial hard foods that toast, hard fruits, nuts, various vegetables, which require much chewing. This exercise the teeth, keeps them in good condition and promotes decay, so much upon size and weight as upon the quality. A little pat of butter, weighing 1½ ounce has as much food value according to Fisher, as a pound of bread. It is also well to eat raw foods with meals such as fruits, salads, etc. Such foods as fish and potatoes should not eat raw. With each meal just before glasses of good pure water, should be ingested. People who drink plenty of water are not susceptible to constipation, you should never use your liquids. You should drink water during meals, sip it slowly. People should eat more bulky food than concentrated food. It is always well to mix your meal or round out your lowing foods: Lettuce; spinach; asparagus, cabbage, beets, onions, cauliflower, carrots, parsnips, squash, tomatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers, etc. You worry so much about the high cost of living if you will take advantage of the various methods of feeding your lowing foods on the market. Fresh milk, boiled milk, milk, milk, milk, potatoes, bread, vegetables and nuts, if well chewed, contain many of the most valuable food elements. We should use free use of various pepper, garlic and curdups and other hot relishes as food. Questions Mrs. Worried writes: "Please tell me if she is a cure for skin disease. She is a physician in Cleveland, Ohio, that is a specialist on such a 1. have been to several with no results." It is a tubercular disease of the skin and membrane. It is usually of long standing and very difficult to cure. Would advice be given to a patient in a clinical clinics in Cleveland and see a skin specialist. You might ask to see Dr. Crille, a noted surgeon of your age, who will direct you to a good specialist. Growths in Womb Mrs. L. K. writes: "Dr. Williams, as I was looking over the Chicago Dept. condition, so thought, I would write you as I have a growth in my womb—and it is, in a bad condition from a pimples all around. I would like for you to tell me what to do. I am very nervous, too. The growth is one pimple, one long but it don't seem to hurt you. Would like to hear from your soo." Reply: You undoubtedly have a pimple on the womb, Mrs. L. K. You should have a stitched at once and have the tear repaired and the womb replaced in its normal position. Would styles that work on a womb condition will help improve or expose. We would like to hear from you, as to progress, of your case. putes, as is now provided by the amended substitute, it would not be german to them may say that the carrier any contract entered into with an association which excludes certain people from its organizations or that working separately to all employees or a class that such a provision written into the law would not be german to a plan to be adopted, for adjusting disputes except the Anderson amendment. And the Chair therefore sustains the point of order. I will observe that inasmuch as the amendment I offered myself rilled out of order nor german there was no chance to get a vote on them, but I did the best I could and I regret not having been able to language of the amendments into the law. Sincerely yours. MARTIN R: MADEN. VIRGINIA Richmond, Va. Dec. 19.—Union university will be represented by four delegates, to the eight international commentators which will, be held in the Coliseum, Des Moines, Iowa, beginning at 2:30 Wednesday, Dec. 12, 1919. University will be represented, 40 different nations, have registered as delegates. This registration, however, does not include the university, and the university delegates throughout the world, who will be present at the convention. This we do without, doubt the greatest educational institution in Union delegates will be Prof. J. W. Barco, Messrs. E. E. Smith, B. Hester and H. S. Brownry. The faculty and university were highly honored Thursday, Dec. 11, 1919, by the visit and lecture of Judge Wm. J. Harrison of the University, who was the orator was introduced by Mrs. O. BrownStokes, one of Richmond's most influential women. After a brief review of the student body on the subject, "A Crack in the Foundation," he impressed upon the student the necessity of charming the foundation depended upon the foundation we could build on solid foundation we could and must build higher and higher. He urged for the opportunity to do his best to watch for the opportunity when it came to strike and strike hard. MONTANA Billing, Mont., Dec. 19.—Miss Blanche Jones, a Chicago girl, comes on her tour at the bedside of her brother at the hospital, 121 S. 26th street, before his death.
