Washington, Sept. 19.—During a side debate on the League of Nations Senator Norris, Republican, of Nebraska charged that President Wilson "spent money like a drunken sailor" in Europe and "cavorting around with the representatives of foreign monarchies." Individual economy being an effective weapon against the high cost of living, Senator Norris declared the President might have led the way. In reply to a question as to what he would have done, Senator Norris replied: "It would not have taken 1,500 people to advise me unless I expected to take their advice. I would not have had a ship go in advance of me to receive me when I arrived. I would not have taken the chefs and cooks from the Biltmore Hotel." kind for the boys on Monday.

Wounded Soldiers Forced to Eat in Separate Mess Halls The government hospital at 47th and Drexel blvd., has committed itself to a policy of segregation and the returned veteran soldiers, that have been wounded, gassed and injured are forced to eat at separate tables in the mess halls. This policy of segregation is based on expediency, the prime motive being to allay racial friction. The authorities and the powers that be, appear to be reticent in disclosing just when this policy was adopted. Many complaints have been made to Lieutenant Colonel Patten of the Old Eighth regiment and to the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The complaining heroes that are segregated, also claim that Lieutenant Colonel Cobb, who is in charge at this hospital, has refused to adjust the situation or to alleviate the humiliation of the colored soldiers. It is also alleged that the color line is drawn in the reading room and billiard halls. The situation has aroused the sentiment of many leading citizens that insist upon immediate and rigid investigation. Husband Shoots Wife On Thursday night Willie (Chuck) Winter, 2803 Cottage Grove avenue, made up his mind that it was time for his wife to consider things and take him back. They had been separated for some time. After oiling up his pet shooting iron he sought a conference with his wife. They met at the home of Mrs. John Smith, 2008 Vernon avenue, and after talking over matters for a while they found they could not agree. Winter, seeing that persuasive methods were of no avail, began to use cave man tactics and attempted to take her back by force. Mrs. Winters resisted this and enraged the already mad lover to such an extent that he pulled forth his revolver, according to witnesses, and shot her. The woman was rushed to Provident Hospital, where she later succumbed to her wounds. Winters disappeared after the shooting and, according to the police, has not been seen since. Colored Boy Held as Jewel Thief Frank Johnson, colored, houseboy for Mrs. Thomas C. Musgrave, wife of Colonel Musgrave, was held to the grand jury under bonds of $1,500. It is claimed by Mrs. Musgrave that she had lost a silk dress and many jewels since she employed Johnson. This caused her to watch the boy. Noticing that he acted suspiciously, he was then questioned and searched. A note was found in his pockets addressed to a young woman, telling her that he had a lovely present for her, but she must keep it a secret. The dress and jewels are valued at $1,000. KILL POLICEMAN WHEN HE RAIDS CRAP GAME Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 19.—Sergt.

The women's division of the federal employment service had been furnishing wite girls to wait in the mess rooms at Fort Sheridan. The white girls made general complaints of the ill treatment they received from the southern officers and were consequently withdrawn and the federal employment department refused to furnish more white girls. Whereupon they called upon the Urban League to furnish colored women to take the place of the whites. The colored girls began work in June and have had trouble ever since. According to reports, Miss Elizabeth Lightfoot refused to remove several boxes, weighing, it is said, more than 150 pounds. This angered the kitchen police, who immediately slapped the girl almost insensible and threatened to run all of them from the camp. Urban League Investigates.

They complained especially against beer being smuggled into Chicago from Milwaukee and other Wisconsin breweries where they are permitted to make a beverage contained $2\%$ per cent alcohol. "We want this beer smuggling to stop," said these representatives of the Chicago brewers in conference with one of the prosecutors. "We want to comply with the law and want everyone else compelled to do so. We have invested large sums in the manufacture of soft drinks, the so-called near beers and beverages containing no alcohol or less than one-half of one per cent of alcohol. "But the Wisconsin brewers are running beer into Chicago and selling it at big prices. We can't compete with them and their illicit traffic in this beer and it is hurting our business, a business we want to run in conformity with the law. "We called upon the officials whose duty it is to enforce the laws," said Mr. Austrian, "and we told them we wanted them enforced in conformity with the decision of the federal court of this district, which forbids sale of PRICE FIVE CENTS Through their vigilance they got in touch with Mr. Bent, secretary to the grand jury, and the evidence was taken yesterday.

The claim agent of the Tampa Electric Company stated that his investigation of the affair shows that Harwell was sitting in the second seat from the rear, while the company's rules require whites to start filling cars from the front and people of color from the back. "How Can I Miss When I Have Dead Aim" Hanan Shoe Co. Segregate Customers Miss Fannie Lyman, colored cashier employed by Walgreen's Drug Company, reports that she entered the Hanan & Son's shoe store at Washington and State sts, and took a seat preparatory to having a pair of shoes fitted. She was told by one of the floormen that it would be necessary that she take a seat in a section reserved for colored people. This Miss Lyman refused to do. The employee then tried to point out the fact that they had a few customers of our race who submitted to this indignity and he could see no reason why she should not abide by this ruling. The young lady soon told him where he could "get off at" and departed to find a place where our people, as well as our money, is welcome. The Whip having stopped this practice in Marshall Field & Co.'s, is taking steps in this case to find out the reason our people are discriminated against in Hanan & Son's.

About thirty articles of food were included in the exhibit. Organized about twelve years ago for the purpose of preparing Negroes of the state for farm and rural life the college lays special stress upon agriculture. The institution is under the auspices of the Farmers' Improvement Society of Texas which has for its aims the following objects: (1) To fight the credit system; (2) to buy and beautify homes; (3) to co-operate in buying and selling; (4) to promote education among its members; (5) to assist its members in distress and provide a decent burial for its dead. The college has ninety-two acres of land, according to M. J. Johnson, principal. Most of the land is worked by the students to give them practical experience in intensive farming. Big crops of corn, oats, wheat and peas have been made this year. Enrollments last year reached a total of 114, and the faculty is expecting a much heavier attendance for the next term. R. L. Smith is president of the school. Colored Woman Cuts High Cost of Living With Spinning Wheel Poteau, Okla., Sept. 19.—Although various schemes have been put into operation to reduce the high cost of living, it remained for Nora Cooper, a colored woman of this city, to bring forward an industry that flourished 100 years ago. She has taken quarters in an old school, where she has installed an old-fashioned spinning wheel that is said to be more than 100 years old. She spins her own threads from raw cotton and cards and weaves it upon the looms into cloth. The machine can turn out ten yards of material a day.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 19.—Francis Berryhill, a youth of 17 years, went before the Fulton grand jury Tuesday and was said to have related to the jurors a dramatic story of how, on the night of August 29 he stood under the Bellwood avenue bridge and acted as "lookout" while two boyish companions stole into the plant of the Southern Furniture Company, near by, and murdered the Negro watchman, Mack Herndon, for a paltry $15. Herndon was beaten to death with an iron pipe. Young Berryhill, who admitted that he knew his companions meant to rob the watchman, denied he knew murder was to be done, and said he remained on watch until he heard the watchman "holler," then became frightened and ran. Murder Charged The grand jury, acting on the confession of the youthful "lookout" and other evidence presented by the state, returned an indictment for murder against Charlie Powell and Marvin Calloway, both about the same age as Berryhill. The two alleged slayers are still at large but, following the action of the grand jury, state, county and city authorities redoubled their efforts to apprehend them. Berryhill is held in the Tower as an accessory to the crime. His case has not yet been considered by the grand jury, he having appeared Tuesday PATENT MEDICINES Dacia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ..... $1 Dacia Pinkham's Blood Medicine ..... $1 S.

His case was expected to be acted on at the next session of the grand jury. Berryhill told the fury he had been offered "a dollar apiece" by the other two boys if he would watch for them under the bridge while they went into the factory and robbed the watchman. He ran away, however, before receiving his part of the spoils. Heard Negro Yell Berryhill, according to a previous statement, and which he was said to have repeated to the grand jury, said: "I met these two boys near the Bellwood bridge and they confided to me that they intended to rob the night watchman in the furniture factory. They said they knew he received his pay on Friday, and this robbery was on Friday night. They told me that if I would stay under the bridge and watch for them, they said they expected to get $15, as this was the amount he was supposed to have. They gave me a small piece of iron and told me to rap on an oil tank under the bridge if I saw any one coming. The boys then went away toward the factory and I stayed under the bridge until I heard the watchman holler. Then I got scared and ran away." Berryhill, it was said, will be held in the Tower until his alleged slayer companions are found and arrested. Their arrest was expected at almost any time.

State Street DOCTOR CALLED TO FRONT DOOR AND IS BEATEN BY FIVE MEN Four Jump from Auto When He Tells Visitor He Will Not Go Out Because of Death in Family. St. Louis, Sept. 19.—Dr. William Marten, 4042 North Eleventh street, was called to his front door at 6 o'clock last night by a man who said there was an urgent case of illness at a house on Ferry street. Dr. Marten's wife informed the caller that owing to a death in the family the physician was not answering calls. The man persisted in seeing the doctor and when the door was closed he kicked it and pounded violently until the doctor appeared. Four other men who had been waiting in an automobile ran up the steps and the five beat the doctor with their fists until he broke away and ran into the house. A policeman went to the address on Ferry street and found a woman suffering from epilepsy. No trace of the doctor's assailants was found. The body of Dr. Marten 's former wife, Mrs. Mary C. Marten, who was drowned in the Mississippi River while swimming last Sunday, was recovered by a fisherman last night. How To Make Money Without Work Cut out this coupon and take to the Pickford Shop.

Logan claimed that the Negro fired the first shot, which seriously wounded him, after which he fired the shot that killed Manuel. Both men were section hands. The trouble is thought to be the outcome of a labor controversy. Discuss Prohibition’s Effect on Colored People’s Welfare Newark, N. J., Sept. 19.—Looking ahead to the day when saloons will be closed in compliance with the prc- hibition amendment, which becomes operative Jan, 16, the New Jersey Urban league for social work among Negroes last night took up consider- ation of social problems likely to arise. The executive committee of the league, meeting at the headquarters, 212 Bank st., heard the report of William M. Ashby, secretary, who gave his opinion that the closing of saloons will bring about illegal traffic in Ji- quor, which he asserted was part'y responsible for the recent race rioting in Washington. In addition to seeking ways to offset “hootiegging,” the committee will ask for better regulation of dance halls in the city. It expects that the closing of saloons will mean the opening of more dance halls, which, unless prop- erly supervised, it was held, will mean added dangers for the young colored people who frequent them. ‘The secretary reported the sale of $1,006.46 worth of ham, bacon, canned goode and sugar at its headquarters last month while it was being used as a city sales r20m. The opportunity cf serving the white people in the ncighborhood as well as the colored was granted readily, he said. Con- tinuing the work of getting. employ- ment for colored people, the league placed thirty-four more in August than it did in July. The league is doing its best co cope with the housing problem, the secre- tary reported. Little relief was given te the families in need of flats and apartments because the rooms were not available in the city. Single per- sons and couples wanting one or two rooms for light housekeeping were placed by the league. Attention was called to the growing discontent among Negro ship builders, who charge that organized labor is “creating discriminatory _ opinion” against them. The committee will seek a conference with the unions in- volved aad try to ascertain their in- tentions regarding future relations with negro workers.

Governor Welcomes Colored Baptists Delegates Attend 39th Annual Convention from All Over Country. Newark, N. J., Sept. 19.—More than 5,000 colored men and women from every state in the Union had gathered in the old First Regiment Armory this morning when Governor Runyon and Mayor Gillen welcomed the thirty- ninth annual national convention of Negro Baptists to this state and city. Rev. E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark, who has presided for the last twenty- five years, opened the meeting, which is to last for five days. In his opening remarks the pres- ident said: “The disturbed condition of our country is awaiting the advance of the religious movement of the world. The Negro Baptists of America are here to do their part in the bringing of peace to the world and the men who came to this mecting are the direct representatives of the great Prince of Peace and have heard the call to the chureh to awake. Until the whole world lets Jesus into its affairs there will never be any peace.” Rev, M. Joseph Twomey of Peddie Memorial Church will address the del- egates this afternoon in behalf of the white Baptists of the state and Rev. J. C. Love will speak for the colored Baptists. After devotional exercises the president will read his annual re- port and the convention will hold a business session. A sermon by Rev. T. J. Goodall of Georgia is scheduled to- night, followed by the report of the Home Mission Board. Governor Runyon in his brief address referred to the excellent progress made by the colored race and declared the convention was an indication of the journey that had been traveled. He said the delegates had a right to feel proud of what had been accom- plished and expressed the belief that the race would continue to go forward THE CHICAGO WHIP a if the members would do their part| "T by being dignified, law-abiding Amer- sts ican citizens. He found in New Jer- sey a state that is 100 per cent Amer- aal| ican, but asserted this happy condition , | could only be sustained by granting equal rights to all races, ‘Mayor Gillen, following the gover-| ste han| nor, welcomed the delegates to the| £ rom| city, declaring that Mr. Runyon had] * red | expressed his thoughts in commenting | ™ ory | upon the progress the colored race has bee yon| muda, . o7 Jo is The North American Coal | or rk., Co. a Race Enterprise|“* The thinking members of the race should encourage the men who are building up colored race enterprises The Negro must get economic inde- pendence, He can only get it by co- operation.

J., Sept. 19—A much stolen revolver was an exhibit be- fore Judge Quigley in the First Precinct court today and two of the men who had recently handled it were sent to jail, one for thirty and the other for sixty days. They are Frank Burns of 34 Arlington st. and Joseph Johnson of 53 Arlington st., both col- ored. Burns got the longer term be- cause he had been out of jail only five days, having been sentenced to thirty days by Judge Quigley last month for the theft of two guns. Johnson was arrested yesterday by Detectives Boland and Byrnes on a charge of having stolen a revolver from Burns. They found the revolver inhis room. It was learned Burns had stolen the weapon from Robert Allen of 9 Augusta st., a restaurant keeper, and Burns was arrested. He pleaded guilty. Johnson said the gun had been given to him by Burns to pawn, which was denied. Allen asserted the gun was left with him two weeks ago as security for a bill. He expected the man to call for it in a few days, he said. While the case was being heard Ser. geant Rath, who was in court, recog- nized Burns and told the judge the prisoner had just been released from jail, where he had been sent for the theft of two revolvers from furniture that was being moved by a storage company by which Burns was em- ployed. Rath said the revolver exhib- ‘ited in court corresponded with the ‘description of one of the stolen guns.

Stew- art, white, and Henry C. Johnson, col- ored, were rescued by police last night from a crowd of angry white men who were threatening to lynch them after the negro had run down four white children with his automobile. ‘The mob had a noose arount the Negro’s neck, acording to the police, when Stewart interfered, pleading that justice be allowed to take its course. 3 od International R. R. Men’s President Causes Burling- ton to Put on Extra Man The lounging cars between Chicago and Denver on the Burlington railroad have been using only five men on this run, causing the men on this line to have to double out of Chicago each trip without getting the necessary relief needed for a trip of this length. The attention of Mr. Mays, the as- sociation’s president, was called to this fact and he immediately took steps that caused the company to place another man on the line, make ing it possible for the overworked men to have from two to five days at home with their families, ‘The first to profit by this are Mr. O. Suggs and F. Foster. OUTLAW STATE ADDS ANOTHER LYNCHING TO ITS LONG LIST Athens, Ga., Sept. 19.—A woman, the wife of a white farmer, was murdered here in a mysterious way, The poor, ignorant, so-called authorities, were unable to find a clew, so they put the blame on Obe Cox, a colored man, who, they claim, was a “no good nigger,” because he was always upholding the way the colored man was treated in the North. Cox, finding out that the blame was to be placed on him, attempted to run away, knowing that he would be una- ble to prove an alibi, He was cap- tured by a crowd of hoodiums, taken back to the scene of the killing and burned. The crowd's anger turned against the white man, and when police arrived, it was said, the rope was being trans- ferred to his neck. Both Stewart and Johnson were tak- en in custody. None of the children was seriously hurt, it is said. rw ¥ Ballinger Kent, tennis champion of ,all of which she has the Pacific coast, is in town, willing to!down, Mrs. Alice | take on all comers. | panied the prima dor Miss Bertha Moxley, 5640 sealed Mr. Cecil Pope of ave. dramatic reader and protege of | Was in the city for Mrs, J.

President John Fitzpatrick, in submitting his report on the steel situation, gave a description of how brutal the steel corporation's managers and superintendents had been toward workers, and mentioned the outrageous murder of Mrs. Fannie Snelling, organizer for the United Mine Workers of America, in Vanderdrift, Pa. It is interesting to note that not a single arrest was made for this outrage. At a meeting of the executive board of the Labor party of Cook county, held Friday afternoon, Sept. 12, many things were discussed in connection with this party and its future activities in Chicago as well as the state of Illinois. A big membership drive is planned by the board of directors of the Vinculum Co-operative Society through which they hope in a short time to be in a position to announce the opening of their first store. The cooperative movement is becoming contagious among the workers. Stockyards workers are expecting an increase in wages as a result of the hearing now before Judge Alschuler. This is the third time that the union men and women have contended for better conditions and more wages, out of which the nonunion workers have been benefited. Wonder when they will change their minds.

SWANCY & SONS 2060 North Third Street KANSAS CITY, KANSAS of respect due a man or group of men who fail to see the need of organization as a medium through which to secure justice. Jesus Christ was an organizer and came to organize the lowly, to offer them protection and embodied in His teachings the spirit of humbleness which is exemplified in the attitude He assumed in washing the feet of His disciples, in bearing His cross to the place set aside by his persecutors that he might give His life for crimes He had been accused of which was as God's will. Today the workers are burdened with thousands of crosses and confronted with mountains of opposition at the hands of the capitalistic profiteers. The solution and remedy for these various ills is organization. Train Porters' Local 16794 is moving along nicely and they expect shortly to have a 100 per cent organization in Chicago and other railroad terminals. Why so much talk and criticism about the other fellow or what he is doing when we begin to use our best efforts to bring about a condition that will benefit the masses? Those who would reconstruct and advise improvements on most people would keep silent if it were possible to view themselves from the same angle and do what good they could in aiding the under dog. We cannot hope to fight each other and expect to accomplish very much in fighting our common enemy or even expect to secure favorable consideration when we eliminate co-operation, for it is the source if properly applied. The big I's and little you's in the labor movement will eventually be a thing of the past. Real hard, earnest workers are the ones most needed now. Autocracy cannot be encouraged if we expect to promote democracy. Let's get out and do something worth while, and if we fail to have a big demonstration when we die, why should we worry if we have done good and made the most of what time we did spend on earth to help relieve suffering in any way we could. Local 651 is still plugging along, making a gain here and an advance there. Eventually success will crown the efforts of tireless energy properly applied.

The question pertaining to the activity of the major parties in attempting to be fuddle the voters by making the "Initiative, Referendum and Recall" and the "Gateway Amendment" an issue must not be taken seriously by voters, as they have always opposed constructive legislation.

Viewing the Labor Movement from Various Angles By Andrew Holmes, Trustee Local No. 191. ARTICLE 11. In the preceding article we made mention of the fact that the colored worker is looked upon as inferior to the white worker in most cases. He is expected to do the same amount of work for less pay or more work for the same pay. However, the employing classes have, as a rule, profited by this state of affairs. They threaten the white employees with replacement by colored workers, whom they then assert do as good or better work and for less compensation. The colored workers they intimidate with the belief that if a certain wage must be paid or a certain condition met, the services of white employees becomes a necessity and in that way better results may be secured. So it has been in the recent past. These occurrences from time to time led, we believe, to the prejudiced notions of many white trades unionists against the colored workers, as the labor organizing movement progressed. It must not be understood, however, that racial differences alone have been made the basis of economic opposition; the differences in language, in religion, in locality, and, in fact, in everything, have been utilized by the employing classes to keep the workers divided and confused. Not only have groups on various lines been pitted against other groups, including even child labor and woman labor, but the individual against the individual. But let's refer now to a feature in the stockyards situation. We are told that about the year 1904 there was a strike in the yards. We are told that the union at that time did not solicit the membership of the colored workers. We are told also that when the strike was called the packers called on the colored workers through their recognized (?) leaders; that the colored workers responded, and through their activities the strike was broken and the union crushed.

State Street Big Organization Drive Is Launched by the Laundry Workers' International Big Organization Drive Is Launched by the Laundry Workers' International Local Union No. 46 of Chicago is growing rapidly and Business Representative Glenn W. Campbell is in charge of the organizing campaign This group of workers have been abused, exploited and victimized by race feeling encouraged by the bosses, which has proved so beneficial to the owners of these establishments, who are interested alone in profit. They have, through their political influence and other unfair methods, prevented the minimum wage scale and the eight-hour law for women being placed on the statute books. They have combined their resources and opposed all forms of constructive legislation. But the workers are developing a formidable force which will off-set these conditions and, in short, with the ever increasing numbers, expect to have the entire 8,000 of these workers securely enrolled in their own organization, where they can provide for such changes as will be conducive to good health. The local headquarters are at 166 W. Washington st., Room 704. Phone Main 3374. Any one interested in helping to improve conditions should call in person or phone Mr. Glenn W. Campbell. Next regular meeting will be held Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 8 p.m., 64 W. Randolph st. Laundry workers are especially invited. the strikers, subdued, came back and asked—yes, in some cases begged—for their places in the various plants. Since the colored workers had broken the strike naturally the packers felt indebted to them, so they were retained, at least, it so appeared. But, in most cases, the foreman and foreladies, the small salaried officers (and the ones with whom the average worker came in contact), were in sympathy with the former strikers. These men and women, as may be expected, saw to it that when a colored worker quit or was discharged that his place, if in any way a desirable one, was taken by one of the ex-strikers. In some instances we are told that frame-ups were made and sometimes the colored worker's discharge or withdrawal was forced upon him to make room for some one who had influence or favor with a foreman or forelady. The force of this undercurrent was of a racial character because the sentiment existed among the white workers that the colored workers caused them to lose the strike. We do not censure the packers themselves or their highly paid officials or their department superintendents. They may not only have been innocent of countenancing any treachery against the colored workers, but the fact that notwithstanding their breaking a strike in 1904 the percentage of colored workers was negligible in 1914, when the world war began, goes to show that there had been in operation some systematic scheme of elimination against them. In the next article we shall see how such a scheme operated and may operate in the future, unless prevented by thorough and effective organization.

Action for Cheaper Living Cleveland, O., Sept. 19.—The convention of the United Mine Workers of America today approved legislation such as this week passed congress carrying heavy penalties to curb the profitering. The convention rejected a proposal for an economic commission to fix prices for all commodities of daily use. It also turned down the idea of congressional legislation reducing food and clothing prices by 25 per cent under penalty of confiscation of the property of all those violating the law. Another suggestion, that of the death penalty for food profiters, was rejected. A resolution introduced by Negro miners, but supported by the entire convention, demanded legislation making lynching and mob violence federal offenses. No time will be lost in organizing the alliance with the four great railroad brotherhoods for joint political and industrial action to bring about the nationalization of railways and mines. The miners' representatives and the heads of the four big railroad brotherhoods will meet Oct. 1 to discuss their alliance. "We have not a chance in the world to pass the Plum bill through the present congress," Glenn E. Plumb informed the miners this morning. Baptist Convention Newark, N.

Another Old Timer Gone New York, Sept. 19.—The Grim Reaper has again stretched forth his hand and taken from our midst one of those men who in the earlier days helped to contribute their share towards the history of colored theatricals. This time it is the modest and unassuming Charlie Moore, who has answered the call to the Great Unknown. Mr. Moore was for years connected with the Williams and Walker shows and one of the men who looked after the interests of the company in the front of the theatre. At the time of his death he was connected with the Lafayette Players and had been assigned a part in the production which will be at the Seventh Avenue house next week. For more than twenty years he was a close friend of Jesse A. Shipp, and it was at the earnest solicitation of the writer that he decided to "take a flyer" in the drama. When "Pride of Race" was staged at the Lafayette theatre he took a prominent part, his work eliciting much praise. Some months ago he appeared in Washington with Mrs. Charles H. Anderson and also played at the Lincoln theatre with the company. Negro Held for Six Months Without Trial Washington, D. C., Sept. 19.—Associate Justice Gould, presiding in criminal division 1, of the district supreme court, did not mince words last Wednesday when he scored the police department of Washington for holding an innocent Negro for six months without trial. Thomas W. Hunter, colored, was arrested last February on a charge of robbery. When his case was reached by the grand jury, for which he was held, the police admitted that they had made a mistake in arresting him. When the United States district attorney's office took steps toward having Hunter released the assistant district attorney suggested that he go on his own recognizance. At this point Associate Justice Gould declared that nothing of the sort should be done, and sid, "The case is dismissed, and the police owe him an apology for arresting him without any evidence against him. Such action on their part makes the administration justice a reproach." 271 Fined Five Dollars For Insulting Women New York, Sept. 19.—The insulting of colored women in the San Juan Hill district will not be very popular as an outdoor sport if the police have anything to do with it in the future. Knut Knutman, white, of 65 W. Sixty-eighth st., while in an inebriated condition, tried it last Sunday morning. He approached two unknown colored women on the corner of Sixty-first st. and Amsterdam ave., and made some insulting remarks. He was observed by Officer Harry Singer, of the twenty-eighth precinct, who promptly placed him under arrest. It was impossible to get the women so when Knutman was arraigned in the seventh district magistrate's court Officer Singer was the chief witness again him. Knutman pleaded not guilty, but after a fair hearing was found guilty by Magistrate McAdoo and fined $5-He paid. Oscar De Priest Attacks Hoyne Charges Hoyne Favored the White Criminals. "State's Attorney Hoyne showed very clearly that he was favoring the whites. The colored people were not given adequate police protection before or during the riots. If they had been as carefully guarded by the city officials as were the whites the riots might have been avoided. The colored soldiers fought for democracy as well as the whites. They want equal justice." Ex-Ald. Oscar De Priest made the charges today while addressing the regular weekly meeting of the Congregational ministers. The preachers are making a study of the race problem. Villa's Cousin Lynched in Colorado Lyncher Claims Governor Is Too Lenient. Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 19.—The lynching of two Mexicans here Saturday night was a "law and order" protest against Governor Shoup's leniency toward convicted murderers, leaders of the mob declared today. Although Santos Ortez, one of the lynch victims, was a cousin of Pancho Villa, the hangings were not due to hatred of Mexicans, the mob leaders state. The large Mexican quarter here is quiet today. The men who were lynched had killed a policeman. New York's Governor Will Defend Citizens in Texas New York, Sept. 19.—The statement of Governor Holby of Texas in regard to the assault of John R. Shillady of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, while in Texas, to the effect that Texas is for Texas and that any man from the North who comes into Texas to stir race feeling should be sent away with a broken jaw, has been met by a telegram from Governor Smith of New York. Governor Smith's telegram, which was addressed to Mary White Ovington, chairman of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People is as follows: "Governor Smith will do all in his power to protect citizens of New York state in any part of the country while engaged in proper and lawful business."

DANIEL JOHNSON ‘The Negro is not dead nor dying. Four and a half millions have multi- plied nearly three-fold without the aid of foreign immigration to help him. He keeps his ratio to his white brother regardless of the fact that about a billion so-called whites are received every year from foreign coun- tries, One out of eight he was when he was emancipated; and one out of eight he remains. And unless he learns the infamous lesson of “race suicide” he will constitute one-eighth of this country’s population to the end of the chapter; or until the million per year immigration ceases; and then he will gain in ratio until he will be four out of eight. Nor is he dreaming. It is not all a dream to believe that his patience, labor, sacrifice and study will count for much. His restlessness and in- coherent mutterings are not caused by nightmares but by the strainings of his soul’s faculties to pierce the night’s oy ei een = 4 ie darkness, if perhaps he may discover the direction of his star of hope. When he gets his bearing he will trudge toward it—(stumbling maybe over obstacles which all nations have found in their pathway toward day; or falling into pits dug by his enemies)— the patience and perseverance so strik- ingly exemplified in centuries gone will be his until civilization’s sun shall gladden his eyes—hope, be it ever so extravagant, cannot be all a dream if ‘one strives to realize that hope. Nor is he asleep. Though prostrate in the estimation of his enemies and bound by special legislation and ostra- cised by church and state and crushed by oppression’s heel; though flagless and countryless and friendless, he is not asleep.

Reinforcing rays are shooting up over the horizon whose united light will bring on the glad dawn of real freedom. For instance, in 1904 the issue in the presidential campaign was “The Ne- gro: Shall the ‘Door of Hope’ Be Closed Against Him?” A more bitter and strenuously contested campaign has not been had since the war of 1861, and there was never a more de- cisive answer given by the nation upor any question during its history—an- other ray above the horizon showing the national heart to be in the right place, ‘The war with Spain gave our sol- diery another opportunity to prove its valor and worth to the United States —another ray. ‘The President’s hasty action in dis- missing from the army three compa- nies of the 25th Infantry, coupled with his persistent disayowal of race ani- mosity, is another ray. The Japo-San Francisco imbroglio is another ray (it brought the subject of “State Rights” up for discussion) and the threat to force a state to re- spect a national treaty are pencilings of political light which bid fair to bring daylight to our longitude. The democrats eagerly looking for an issue in succeeding campaigns will embrace every opportunity to fight again over their old hobby, “State Rights.” They [hope to unite with them the great |“West” against the “North” and the | “East.” Let us pray God that this may be the issue in the next campaign, and unless I am mistaken there will be such a rent made in the mantle of our dark night as will cause the American veges to turn his face toward the East and “sit up and take notice” that “State Rights” has again been snowed under. If there was no “Negro Question” ee other matters would be of little importance.

The success of those girls was so phenomenal that a wealthy white woman has made very substan- tial contribution to the institution for the purpose of paying the tuition and laboratory expenses of a limited number of colored girls whose interest tend toward the form of employment above stated and who wish to develop themselves to the highest efficiency in this line, The present tendency in domestic service is toward a standard- ization of working hours and pay, thus relieving this type of employ- ment of its subtle embarrassments. This standardization is the object of the courses. The first tuitions were paid by the Chicago Urban league, 23032 So. Wa- bash ave., the institution which suc- ceeded in making the first opening.

Failing to obtain help in the North in robbing the Negro of every manhood right, it now turns to the West. If it fails there (and fail it will) and smarting under defeat would again “fire on Fort Sumter” or commit some other overt act of treason, it would hasten the full dawn of freedom’s day. Mme. M. E.

Bluitt aie Geamecatae mpc eee THE WORLD OF SPORTS "Babe" Ruth has made a great home run record, but it does not compare with Walter Younghusband, who has been married only two months.

Greece had but one Homer—Ruth got—? Chorus girls can't kick any more—$35 a week and "issue" silk thing-things. Well, ball players get more than that and their sox free. White Sox soil the easiest, but run the fastest. Hear that a man was interned as in alien enemy in Cincinnati for floating a souvenir White Sox pennant. Interned citizens are no novelty there. Well, you can't always sometimes tell. Anything is liable to happen in the front yard of Dixie. Buck Freeman, whose big league record for home runs, Ruth broke, is an umpire in the American association. When Wilson drops into slang, he reminds us of a nice girl trying to swear. If the New York Yankees bought Mays to help win the pennant, the percentage column indicates they should fire their lawyers, and hire an alienist. The Amateur Minstrels constantly kicked for the uplift of their art, their art being the right and left art, each art hinging from a knee. A gentleman would have said a "dimpled knee." That is, if a gentleman would discuss the arts. How beautiful is art! How beautiful are arts! Dethighsively so Limbphatically so I'll say, Ho, Hum. I guess if Moran don't win the W. S. the fans in Cincinnati will want him fired. Then it will take twenty-five years before they will get another chance to play in one.

Will baseball be good enough to share just a modicum of limelight with tennis, which has sent some world famous players to Chicago? Thank you. There is one thing to be said for a roll-top desk—one never loses anything out of it, even if one never is able to find anything in it. Hello, Toney, I don't mean the New York Giant pitcher. Zimmerman of New York Giants suspended for the season by McGraw for "coming in late." Perhaps he was out chasing Eddie Collins home. Wow. Boy gave Woody a dime. And the whole Republican party wouldn't give a cent for all his policies. What more could a man ask, board and lodging free, and a dime to squander? Two things in Massachusetts Woody cannot countenance: Policeman's strike; Senator Lodge lives in Mass. Senator Moses of New Hampshire is having some difficulty in persuading President Wilson to pose as Pharaoh. Somebody ought to get out a booklet, "League of Nations in a Nutshell." Happy thought: that's where it belongs. Hard words seldom make impression on soft people. I know where you can get $500, providing you like the Cincinnati Reds. Abe Lincoln and George Washington are being extensively misquoted these days. Why not get an ouipa board and find out what they really think about the league of nations, daylight saving, baseball, and so on? One difficulty about laying in a supply of coal for winter is that many tenants have no place in which to store it. Indeed. Many have no place in which to store themselves. Considering the muddle things are in, it is evident that former secretary of the treasury, director general of railroads and the universe, McAdoo got out just in time. I wonder if his father-in-law will exit on time? Joe Choyinski when asked what did he think of the fight at Toledo, supposedly between the two greatest heavy weight fighters of the day (if you draw the color line), the man who was every inch a fighter and knew no color line, replied: "If you roast the affair, you are put down as a knocker, and again a fellow hates to take the honors away from the winner; but I am over 50, yet, if I had been in the ring that day, I would have been champion today. I say this not as a boast but simply as a matter of opinion." Chicago Cubs can make more money playing a series of games with the American Giants than barnstorming around a small town circuit.

By Jim Vance American Giants Give Dayton Marcos Ball Lesson in 7 to 4 Game American Giants Give Dayton Marcos Ball Lesson in 7 to 4 Game Squeeze and Other Nifty Plays Are Perpetrated Behind Williams American Giants Park, Sept. 14.—Baseball pupils hailing from the town made famous by the Wright brothers and National Cash Register Company were given a lesson in the national pastime by Professor Foster's graduates Sunday afternoon, 7-4. It reminded one of the ancient remark of taking candy from babies. String Bean Williams heaved for the Giants and most of the time lobbed the ball over, making his teammates do most of the work. Torrenti and Gans could have used a couple of horses in the sixth inning, but he tightened up and, with the aid of Eggleston, who I suspect had a mental lapse and tried to pull some small town stuff, forgetting there were two umpires, one on the bases for the express purpose of detecting such mistakes. He forgot to plant his No. 12 on second base in his wild dash on a regular triple, enabling String Beans to emerge from an inning in which the first two men hit for extra bases without being scored on. The seventh inning was the Marcos' lucky inning. They were lucky to get one run, and lucky to get the Giants out in their half. Francis tried to show the S. T. B.'s how to get in the way of a soft pitch, but Gockel would not stand for the teaching of any bad habits. Professor Foster, in order to make the game interesting, gave Williams a rest after the fourth inning. Not String Beans—he was resting all through the game. I mean the shortstop, and gave the fans a chance to look at a recruit from Grand Rapids named Norman. He got one ball all afternoon; the rest he waved at; the balls, not understanding signs, kept on to the outfield. Charleston pulled one for the books when he raced over to deep left center and speared the ball with his gloved hand. String Beans saw to it that all hands were kept busy. Charleston ran in from center field and backed up the catcher on the triple that was hit over Gans' head in the sixth inning. Outside of seeing Speaker, Felch, Cobb, Roush & Co. play about a hundred games a year. I don't think I am competent enough to judge the rarety of that play. Maybe they do it sometimes when I Normals Win Double-Header Normal Park, Sept. 14. A big crowd saw the Normals take both games of a double-header from Josh Devore's Marmon Nordykes of Indianapolis Sunday at Normal Park, 1 to 0 and 3 to 2, the double victory giving them the series. George Pierce won his own game in the ninth session of the second game with two out by hitting for two bases and sending the winning runs across the plate. The score: First Game. r.h.e.

Taylor, our old friend from Indianapolis, who played second base for the visitors, was the whole works offensively and defensively for the Marcos. Dismuke was going great until Rube gave his orders in the seventh to go over the top. Before the smoke of the inning was over he was among the missing. In the eighth De Mose singled, stole second; Torrenti tripled to left center and kept on home while the Marco's catcher was trying to get the ball from under Ald. Jackson's feet.

Baseball Catechism My, what a long man! What makes him so sad? Has he got the flu? No, he hasn't got the flu. He has the Athlet-ix, which is much worse. Why wouldn't he be sad? His name is Cornelius McGillicuddy. That is why they call him Connie Mack. Are those six other people in the baseball park fans? No, they are not fans; they are baseball re-port-ers. They come to the Athlet-ix park because they have to. It is their duty to watch the game and explain in the papers just how the Athlet-ix lose each day. But cannot Mr. Mack keep his players from losing each day? You said it. He cannot. But didn't Mr. Mack used to have good baseball clubs? We'll say he did. They used to win pennants and money and applause and everything. But that was years ago and it isn't what you used to be, it is who you can lick today. You see, Mr. Mack sold his stars and the same athletes who used to help him clean up other ball clubs are now helping to paste his club. My, is that not terrible? Well, that depends on where you reside. If you reside in Phil-a-del-phia we'll murmur that it is terrible. And then some. Poor Mr. Mack; he must worry a lot about his ball club to make him look so sad, mustn't he? No, indeed. That is just the trouble. If he had a ball club he wouldn't be so sad. * Chicago White Sox Win 2 Games from Cincinnati Reds No, fans, we haven't gone cuckoo. Neither has the man who gave us order to dig up this year.

Military and Civilian Board to Erect Building in New York for Ring Battles New York, Sept. 19.—American boxing is to be put on a plane where it belongs as one of the many sports not to be degraded by riffraff, thanks to the efforts of the army and navy civilian board of boxing control, which has just perfected the plans for a boxing club to be built in New York City alone the lines of the National Sporting club of London. The club is to be known as the International Sporting club of New York, and the structure, which is to be erected at Fifty-fifth st. and Sixth ave., will cost $500,000. The men behind the project represent the best type of sportsmen in the country, who are aiming to uplift boxing in America and elevate it to the high place it occupies in England. The officers of the club will be: Maj. A. J. Drexel Biddle, president; Hon. Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior; General Dupont, Admiral William S. Sims and Justice Bartow S. Weeks of New York, vice-presidents. Walter Camp, the famous Yale athletic authority, and Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft are members of important committees of the club. Tex Rickard, the famous boxing promoter, has consented to serve as matchmaker. The club, which will be ready for occupancy on Feb. 1, will have a seating capacity of 2,500. The structure will contain a lounge, reception, dining and welcome rooms to receive prominent guests and a promenade roof to be used between contests. In the boxing auditorium the rows First Three Clubs Will Share the World Series Coin The National Commission announces that the club members of both the National and American leagues had voted favorably on a new plan for distribution of the players' share of the world series, whereby the players of the first three teams in each league will participate in the division of the money. Sixty per cent of the world series receipts for the first four games will go into a pool, which may be augmented by 50 per cent of the players' share of any inter-city games played between the teams finishing second and third in both leagues. Seventy-five per cent of this pool will go to the teams participating in the world series, 60 per cent of this to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser. The remaining 25 per cent of the pool will be apportioned between the second and third teams in each major 7 of seats in the vicinity of the ring will consist of comfortable, large red leather armchairs. The novel feature will be the ring which will be constructed so that the boxes will enter the ring by being elevated from the basement directly to the inclosed square. Kid Dixon Wins in Four Rounds Philadelphia, Sept. 11.—Kid Dixon of Chicago knocked out Battling Harris of Newark, N. J., in the fourth round of a scheduled six-round fight. The result was never in doubt, Dixon knocking his opponent down twice in the second round. He displayed the speed of a featherweight; his left hand jabs reminded one of Sam McVey's famous left jab, which is supposed to be the best in the business of the boxing game. Kid Dixon left for New York immediately after the fight to sign up with Ted Lewis, the famous English welterweight. Fight Promoter Marty Cutler and George De Bray left Saturday for Mexico City, where they will act as sparring partners for Jack Johnson. They will also stage a battle between themselves, the winner to be eligible for a bout with Jack. Jack will act as promoter in each fight. The two above named fighters were sent for by Jack Johnson. He furnished them with tickets, passports and money for traveling expenses. Johnson has Mexico City going his way. He is the leading figure in all events. Sam Langford to Box Fifteen Rounds Sam Langford, the Boston Tar Baby, who fought Jack Thompson August 4 for the colored heavy weight title, will meet this fighter again in Tulsa, Okla., October 20 in a fifteen-round decision bout. Since his fight with Thompson Langford was met and overcome many of the leading heavy weight fighters, among them being Bill Tate, one of Dempsey's sparring partners. Sam intends to make short work of Jack Thompson. Johnson and Kid Norfolk to Fight John Lester Johnson of New York and Kid Norfolk of Baltimore matched to fight in Jersey City on September 30. Charley White and Benny Leonard Matched Benny Leonard and Charley White signed articles last Saturday to fight for the lightweight championship of the world in Milwaukee, Benny Leonard to receive $10,000, Charley White to take a gambler's chance.

The other 50 per cent of the players' share goes into the big pool. Players taking part in the world series and post season games must have been under contract to the club with which they play on August 31, previous to the series.

FOOTBALL Nearly Everybody Goes to 3520 South State Street 8 Football at Howard Howard University expects to regain her old place this Fall as leader of the colored colleges in football. The outlook is very bright as all of the men of last year's team are expected to be present, with several additions from the old men who were in the army last year. Many promising candidates are expected to enter with the incoming freshman class. Practice will commence Sept. 25, 1919. The following schedule has been arranged: Oct. 11, 1919—Howard University vs. Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Washington, D. C. Oct. 18, 1919—Howard University vs. Storer College at Washington, D. C. Oct. 25, 1919—Howard University vs. Shaw University at Washington, D. C.

Big Ten Don Moleskins Football practice will be started officially today at the ten schools in the Western Intercollegiate Conference, the workouts introducing what is expected to be the greatest campaign in the history of the sport in the middle west. The return of scores of seasoned players who had been absent overseas or in training camps and naval stations will give every mentor anywhere from a dozen to twenty regulars of sterling worth, and with this nucleus and no wartime interference the coaches will have all the time they desire to weld their material into efficient machines. A double round of practice, morning and afternoon, will be in vogue at most of the fields pending the opening of the schools the latter part of the month. Then practice will be confined to the afternoons. Games on Sept. 27. All of the conference elevens will be engaged in title play by Oct. 11, but as early as Sept. 27, there will be three of the Big Ten schools in action. The morning and afternoon workouts which will be indulged in for a fortnight or so, however, will put practically every squad into shape before the end of this month, and there is little danger of an upset despite the early start on the schedule. Indiana has booked the Little Giants of Wabash as their initial antoganist, while Michigan will skirmish with its ancient early season foe, Case, and Minnesota mingle with North Dakota, Iowa, the other Big Ten members to plunge into its schedule early will take on Nebraska at Iowa City Oct. 4, and this game promises to be a much tougher proposition for the Hawkeyes than the Sept. 2 bookings of the other three conference elevens. A Pleasant Feature. A pleasing feature of the impending conference season is that most of the schools have arranged games with four other Big Ten rivals, thus making it fairly easy for the fans to figure out the champion when the final games are played Nov. 22. Notre Dame, another representative eleven of this section, although outside the Big Ten, also will start its fundamental work this morning. Nebraska, West Point, Indiana and Purdue are some of the big games on the South Benders' chart.

No More Short Seasons Say Baseball Moguls No more short seasons? That's the cry of the magnates in both major leagues. The 140-game season tried this year has the club owners standing on their ear when they figure the money that has been lost through the departure from the usual 154-game schedule. The plan, suggested and pushed through by Ban Johnson, president of the American League, was adopted to safeguard the club owners against the slump in sporting interest that some pessimists had predicted as an aftermath of the war. But it worked just the other way. Sports are on the biggest boom of history. Especially has the revival of interest been noticed in baseball. Crowds have jammed the yards of all major league teams. Cincinnati, Cleveland, New York, Chicago and Detroit have been unable to take care of the Sunday and holiday crowds. [Name] TAKE YOUR MEALS AT Arrington's I Phone: Douglas 4767 LEWIS H. ARRINGTON, Prop. HOME COOKING A SPECIALTY Lincoln S OF CH UNDER STATE GOVER 3105 SOUTH THE CHICAGO WHIP RACING Values Unheard of for Fall Racing Best Racers of East and West Attracted by Kentucky's Rich Stakes and Purse Values. Covington, Ky., Sept. 16. — The group of nine stakes for horses of various ages offered by the Kentucky Jockey Club for decision in the course of the fall meetings at Lexington, Latonia and Louisville, which will begin on the 13th of September at the Kentucky Association track at Lexington and finish at Churchill Downs, Louisville, on Nov. 1, have attracted a total of 526 nominations. As regards value the races that closed on August 20 represent less than half of the sum that will be distributed through the medium of stakes among the horsemen who participate in Kentucky racing in September and October. The richest of the races to be decided on the Blue Grass Circuit this fall will be the Latonia Championship, at one mile and three-quarters for 3-year-olds, that will have a total value of $55,000. One hundred and fifty-seven 3-year-olds are still eligible for the Latonia Championship, which bids fair to attract a field of ten or a dozen colts and fillies. Then there will be the Breeders' Futurity, a produce race of three quarters of a mile for 2-year-olds, which will be run at Lexington, and the Queen City Handicap, a race of one mile for 2-year-olds, that will be run at Latonia. Upward of 200 2-year-olds, many of them youngsters of the best class that have been winning distinction at Saratoga and Belmont Park, are eligible for the Breeders' Futurity and the Queen City. The Breeders' Futurity will have a gross value of about $10,000. The Queen City will pay $10,000 in added money. Man o' War on the Bit in the Futurity New York, Sept. 13.—Man o' War won the Futurity at Belmont Park this afternoon. Everybody at the course expected the champion to capture the classic. Just the same, it gave every one a thrill to see this great colt lead his field to the wire. Three lengths Man o' War had to spare when he crossed the line ahead of John P. Grier, and the latter was five lengths in front of Dominique. This conquest wound up a glorious career for Man o' War for the season. The colt started ten times and only was beaten once. That was due to a combination of unfortunate circumstances. He will always be remembered as a real champion 2-year-old and only a niche in the hall of fame with Colin, Sysonby, Artful and the other great ones. Man o' War added $26,650 to his earnings through the victory. This brought his earnings to $86,000, a goodly sum won by a good horse. Man o' War was sold to Samuel D. Riddle by Maj. August Belmont. For breeding and nominating him Major Belmont receives $2,750. The card was marred in the running of the Jockey Club stakes for 3-year-olds at one mile and a half, when Sam Hildreth's 3-year-old champion Purchase was given a walkover. Edward Arlington scratched Questionnaire at the last moment. P. A. Clark had withdrawn Duboyne and Polk-o-Dot early in the day. This left Thunderclap and Purchase to go. Hildreth made it a walkover when he announced that he would withdraw the Thunderclap. Purchase was saddled and sent to View at Englewood. a half in 2:41 3:5 A. A. U.

The little Chicagoan, running one of the best races of his career, traveled over the mile in 4:14 2-5. This clipped the previous record, made by Ray in 1917, by four seconds. Ray was not the only athlete to register a record breaking performance. John Murphy of the Multnomah A. C. of Portland, Ore., in annexing the running high jump, cleared the bar at 6 feet 3-16 inches, three-sixteenth of an inch better than the previous record jump, made in 1911 by H.

They're neither muzzled nor thrown into padded cells. If they were there wouldn't be enough population outside to run the works. The baseball bug ought to make a good moving picture star. He can register love, hate, joy, gloom, pleasure, anger, fear, scorn, murder, faith, hope and charity. He's some register and the Dayton company has no patent on him. Baseball bugs are the same America over, only in Cincinnati they're a little more so. It really is the first chance they've had to play their full repertory. The Cincy bug is buggier than any of the other bugs. Cincinnati is truly bughouse. A resident of Cincinnati has it on the rest of the hundred-and-some millions—he can forget the high cost of living, Shantung and other unpopular topics of the day. For there is only one topic in Cincinnati and that is the doings of Pat Moran's Reds. In Chicago it's different. They're buggy there, but they've been real buggy these many years. They are veterans. They've had many occasions to go buggy. The little ones have grown up buggy, all because the White Sox and Cubs have out sliced the world series pie. There is no limit to the B. B. bug G. AB. R. H.

Charges Husband with Resort to Flat Iron New York, Sept. 18.—William Jones, 29, colored, was arraigned Sunday morning in the West Side Court on the complaint of his wife, Mary L. Jones, of 242 W. Sixty-second st. Jones, who is a world war veteran and a member of the old Fighting Fifteenth, was accused of becoming too affectionate during an altercation over some money and petting his wife with three flatirons in succession. He pleaded not guilty and earnestly denied his wife's charges, but after his little son had testified and Mrs. Jones had exhibited the marks of the little encounter Jones was held in $1,500 bail on a charge of felonious assault for trial in the court of general sessions. President King Addresses Great Washington Audience. By The Readers' News Service. Washington, D. C., Sept. 19.—In an address to 1600 persons at the John Wesley A. M. E. church, last Monday eveni q, President C. D. B. King, president-elect of Liberia, extended an invitation to Negroes of industry and ambition to come to his country and aid in the development of its wonderful resources and reap the great reward that awaits those willing to make the effort. He said, "We are anxious to secure the co-operation of the intelligent colored citizens of the United States, and we know by experience that this co-operation will continue to be forthcoming, because the colored people of America may always be depended upon to interest themselves in a cause that calls for altruism. "Liberia owes much to the friendship of the United States," he declared, "and is most anxious to obtain the continued co-operation of both white and colored Americans for the government modeled after your own republic. Liberia knows that her future to a great extent depends upon the interest manifested by the colored people of the United States." President-elect King was introduced by Dr. Ernest Lyon, formally American Cousal to Liberia, who was introduced by Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University. The Amphion Glee club rendered several excellent selections. Mr. King, coming to America after representing his country at the peace conference, is here to seek from the American government a loan for his country and "especially," he declares, to get acquainted with the colored people, to tell them about Liberia and to interest young men in coming and RO-ZOL FACE BLEACH THE ORIGINAL REZC THE COMPLEXION CLARIFIER BLEACH Price 25 Cents REPAIRCED THE INSTITUTION, INVOLVING MEG CO.

Police and Negroes Clash in New York; One Man Is Killed New York, Sept. 16.—In the black belt at One Hundred and Thirty-fifth st. and Lenox ave., at 2:30 this morning, a crowd of Negroes surrounded a reserve policeman named Hayes, in civilian clothes, who was wearing a straw hat. Some one pulled the hat off and in the struggle the policeman was knocked down. He drew his revolver and fired into the crowd, killing a Negro whose name at this hour is not known. The crowd then attacked Hayes, kicking and striking him. Some one turned in a riot call just as the angry Negroes began shouting, "Lynch him! Lynch him!" By this time a number of withes took part in the fight, trying to rescue Hayes, who was still on the ground, defending himself as best he could. Several shots were fired, it is not known by whom, and a Negro and a white man were wounded.

Arnold Hill Address Congregational Ministers At a meeting of the Congregationalist ministers of the city Sept. 15 at the Masonic Temple building the race issue was presented by former Alderman De Priest and T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary of the Chicago Urban League. Mr. De Priest spoke on "The Causes and Casualties" of the Chicago race riot. The temper of his talk was unequivocal. He asserted that Negroes had reached the point where patience is no longer a virtue; that they are fighting back as man should to defend his manhood and his home. In discussing the causes he read a long list of homes bombed, and spoke of the long-standing feuds. Mr. Hoyne, he declared, is a menace. Gambling has always been practiced and always will as long as Mr. Hoyne is in office. Mr. Hill gave a program for the solution of racial difficulties. The problem, he stated, lies deeper than such surface irritations as manifest themselves in housing, recreational and criminal problems. Even if programs for all of them were accomplished he declared there will still remain a problem. The bottom point of conflict is the unwillingness of white persons to place Negroes where their consciences demand that he be placed. "The Negro will not stay put where the majority of persons would have him. He keeps getting out of line. The Negro is demanding an equal share in the democracy he fought for." He gave the program of Americanization as expressed by leaders of this movement and stated as his belief that Negroes would be satisfied to accept the full practice of this principle as a solution of their own difficulties. The fundamental principle on which he gave especial emphasis was that Americanization involves a practical realization of the brotherhood of man. Security in the rights guaranteed Negroes by the constitution is the only possible means of bringing a lasting peace. Sent to Jail for Attacking Window Cleaner New York, Sept. 19.—Levy Small, colored, of 51 W. 134th st., was the complainant last Friday, Sept. 5, against Michael Lushoie, a German, aged 22, of 305 E. Thirty-first st. Lushoie, who has never been naturalized, although in this country seven years, was acting as a picket in W. Fifty-seventh st. for the striking window cleaners. While doing so he spied Small, the colored man, engaged in doing a window cleaning job that he had previously done on several occasions. The white men, mostly foreigners, attacked Small, knocked him to the ground and were beating him up badly with a small ladder when Officer Flanagan, of Traffic Squad B., appeared. The officer placed Michael Lushoie under arrest. When arraigned in the west side court Friday afternoon the German pleaded not guilty, but after having heard the stories of all concerned Magistrate McAdoo vindicated the colored man and gave Lushoie a lecture on deportment and also sentenced him to spend thirty days in the workhouse.

Pershing Washington, D. C., Sept. 19. When General Pershing, his staff, and general headquarters returned to America, there were with them five Negro soldiers, who saw service with general headquarters in France and the many parts of Europe through which the commanding general of the American Expeditionary Forces passed in his many months' service there, and then five colored soldiers were in New York and are now in Washington with the general. These soldiers are, Sergt. Paul Achwicth, of New York City; Corp. John S. Banks, of New York City; Mechanic Thomas J. Cooksie, Checotah, Okla.; Corp. Henry Cullors, Kansas City, Mo., and Private Edward Walker, Memphis, Tenn. The following letter was received by Corp. Cullors and Corp. Banks from an aide de camp of General Pershing: Personal. S. S. "Leaviathan," Sept. 6, 1919. Corp. John S. Banks, A. E. F., Dear Banks: General Pershing has directed me to thank you for your faithful and able services while on duty with his special train in France. All of those officers who were so often on his train during these past two years, can testify to your industry and willingness. I know that they all join me in wishing you the best of luck in the future. Very sincerely yours. (Signed), JOHN J. HUGHES. Major, Infantry, A. D. C. These five soldiers were with General Pershing in Italy, Belgium, England and Germany, and relate a most interesting experience. Although not holding high rank, and performing personal services for the general they were able to meet with an experience that is invaluable and each of the five expresses the greatest satisfaction at being given that coveted opportunity. The only unpleasant experience related by these men is the attempt of a Y. M. C. A. secretary in Washington to segregate them at the "Y" hut to which they had been assigned. Upon the assertion of their privilege to be assigned without respect to color, and the threat to see higher authority, the matter was not pressed by the secretary and the men were assigned without regard to their color.

State Street CHICAGO Telephone: Office, Drexel 1416 Residence, Douglas 470 Office Hours: 11 a. m. to 1 p. m., 4 to 6 and 8 to 9 p. m. Sundays by Appointment Colored Americans Rallying for Suffrage National Race Congress to Formulate Practical Program for a Fuller Citizenship for the Negro People—"On to Washington," October 7th! Special to The Whip. Washington, D. C., Sept. 17.—Emphasizing the importance of the ballot as the basis of American citizenship, the National Race Congress of America is preparing its program for its fourth annual—or "Sufferage Session," which convenes in this city at the Metropolitan Baptist church Twelfth and R st., Northwest, beginning Tuesday, Oct. 7, and continuing through the 11th. Early announcement of the details will be made. "The right to vote and to be voted for is the first of rights," says the National Race Congress. "It is the vital principle of self-government and individual liberty. The ballot marks the difference between the citizen and the serf. Without the ballot the colored American is powerless to contend for right and justice and civil equality; with the ballot he is all-powerful to act in defense of every lawful privilege." The address, declarations and resolutions will cover every phase of the so-called "race problem" in this country, and through a full, frank and fearless exchange of views on the part of the most influential forces among our people there will be worked out a definite and effective plan whereby the cruel and un-American practices of discrimination in public accommodations, mob violence, lynching, unfairness in the courts and disfranchisement—the crux of all the evils growing out of color prejudice—may be wiped out and a "reign of justice under the law" established wherever wave the "Stars and Stripes." Concrete results will be the aim of the congress, and true and tried men and women of the race will be asked to employ their best brain and executive ability to evolve practical methods through which the betterment of the civil, industrial and educational condition of our 12,000,000 Negre Americans may be most speedily brought about. A premium will be placed on how to get done the things that can be done, through a sane, firm and intelligently-directed appeal to the conscience, the sturdy sense of justice and broad public spirit of the American people. The "Suffrage Session" of the National Race Congress will bring to the attention of the world the plaint of the darker peoples of the universe, and will voice the demands of the Negroes under all flags for the right to participate on equal terms in the vital work of reconstruction that must now be engaged in by every member of the human family. Reports from the field to the national headquarters, 903 Third st., N.W., Washington, D. C., indicate that the country is afame with enthusiasm for the Oct. 7 meeting of the race congress. Local units are being formed throughout the states and in the populous colored communities, and arrangements are being made to send delegates of the most representative type. Sunday, Sept. 28, has been set apart as a "rally-for-suffrage day," and it is requested that the local units hold mass meetings in the churches all over the land, to stir the Negro heart to the needs of the hour and to urge the necessity for sending delegates to Washington for the National Race Congress on the 7th of Oct. This is important and vigorous action should be taken. In the meantime the loyal and courageous leaders of the race congress are working day and night in Washington, influencing the American congress to act on the bill to abolish "Jim-Crow" cars and to give the Negro equal accommodations on all railroads. They have been before the committee on foreign relations of the senate to urge justice for the African colonies wrested from Germany. They have joined with the president-elect of Liberia in pressing the claims of our "Sister Republic" for aid that will lead to its proper development, and have indicated a sympathetic interest in promoting fraternal relations with Abyssinia. They are pushing the $250,000 Emergency Defense Fund for the protection of the race in general, and are taking high ground upon all questions that involve the enforcement of law and order, the preservation of the national dignity and integrity, and to make citizenship mean the same thing for both races through out the length and breadth of the land. To assist in this constructive service, let there be an immense outpouring Oct. 7 to 11 at the "Suffrage Session" of the National Race Congress at Washington. Washington D. C. Four young robbers were caught last week after several weeks' hunt by the police department. They had made a specialty of holding up auto owners on the outskirts of the city. These men are all white, but it was reported several times that the robberies were being committed by Negroes. Editor J.

This week he and his large company are playing in "They're Off," which is said to be a better offering than "Over the Top," in which he appeared last week. After extensive repairs the Hiawata theatre is presenting the appearance of a new theatre. Manager Byers went thoroughly into the work of remodeling the picture house, and now that this work has been completed to his satisfaction expects to continue in his efforts to give his patrons the very best in moving pictures.

St. Louis, Sept. 19.—Jim Selad, described by the police as a Turk, proprietor of a restaurant at 1931 Market st., is accused in a federal warrant of violating the war-time prohibition act by selling whisky to two Negroes, Harry Williams and Clarice Brown. A policeman arrested Selad yesterday after he had followed a Jefferson Barracks soldier to the restaurant, and had seen him buy a bottle of whisky, paying $4 for it. As the policeman entered, the bottle was taken from the soldier and hidden, but the policeman found it. The federal prosecuting official decided that there was a clearer case of sale to the Negroes, who were drinking whisky in the place at the time, than of sale to the soldier. The soldier, Howard Ostrander of Company 16, Jefferson Barracks, whose unsteady gait had caused the policeman to follow him, was placed in the city hospital inebriate ward. FARE GIVEN ST. LOUIS Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 19.—A street car fare of 8 cents in St. Louis, effective Sept. 20 and to continue in force for six months, is provided in an order issued tonight by the Missouri public service commission. Julius Rosenwald Gives Six Negro Scholarships New York, Sept. 19.—Julius Rosenwald of Chicago has offered six scholarships of $1,200 each for Negro graduates of the American medical schools who desire to take post graduate work in pathology, bacteriology, physiology, pharmacology or physiological chemistry, the general education board announces. $1.50 to $5 World Series Prices; Nine Games Scheduled 12 Cincinnati fans have already begun to sign for seats on that basis. A few field boxes are priced for $6.50; the reserved grand stand seats are to be $5.50; the upper grand stand seats are to be $3.30; the unreserved pavilion to be $2.20, and the bleachers $1.10. No single seats are to be sold, the buyer taking a set of tickets for the series of four games. The Chicago prices will be much the same, probably ranging from $1.10 for the bleachers to $5.50 for the boxes. This is an advance over two years ago. Over 25,000 applications for seats were filed Friday in Cincinnati when the club made its first official move in accepting ticket requests. There is a considerable grumbling about prices to be charged, which are the highest ever known for a world series. In addition Garry Herrmann has announced that the club will buy back any tickets the fans are unable to use. The change from seven to nine games for the world's series has not helped the chances of the White Sox any. The fans are still discussing this angle; many believe this nine-game thing is an innovation, but, digging into the dope, it reveals that it has been done before. In 1903 the Red Sox and the Pittsburgh Pirates won pennants and mutually agreed on the world championship series. They made their own rules and the National nor any similar body had anything to do with it. They were to play a series of nine games. Only seven were necessary. Boston won the world's title after having lost the first three on their home grounds, five games to three. The next year Boston won the pennant again in the American League and the Giants won in the National League, but John McGraw refused to play Boston on the grounds that the American League was not worth considering, and the Boston team was not in his class. This, naturally, caused quite an uproar. Then John T. Bush involved his world's series of seven games and it was adopted and it has been in force until this year. The Red Sox and Giants met in a world series in 1912 and again eight games were necessary to decide the issue, although only seven were then scheduled. Boston won the series, 4 to 3; one game being a tie. Cincinnati Fans Full of Talk, but Hang Onto Their Coin; Want a Price Whether they play one game or a hundred the White Sox will rule a stanch favorite over the Reds. When the news came from Cincinnati that it would be a nine-game series instead of the usual seven, some fans who burn the midnight oil figured that this would give the Moran tribe the edge because of their extensive pitching staff. But when the announcement came there was no decided switch in the betting angle. Red batters still hung on to their money and talked. They admit they will bet but want a price. The Sox today are a 5 to 4 favorite, with the possibility that the price will be longer, with the Gleasons on the short end as the hour of the race cinching takes place. All this news that there was a ton of money at the Cincinnati stock exchange waiting to be covered is discounted. As yet a bundle of National League coin has failed to assert itself in these parts. There have been a few scattered bets made in Chicago. The Ascher brothers, who are rabid fans and who very seldom miss a Sox game at Comiskey park, are getting down on the Sox, hook, line and sinker. Both Max and Harry have already started to send in their checks on Cicotte and the rest of the money players on the South Side. One wager made by the South Siders the other night called for $1,250 to $1,000. This is only a hint as to what will happen before the clans of Moran and Gleason answer the battle gong. The odds in St. Louis at present are 10 to 7 that the Sox beat the Reds in the world series, or 11 to 10 that the Reds win the series, if you wish to bull the Red market. Those are the odds offered by the professional gamblers, who are thus playing a percentage game and are really nothing more than stakeholders. They are rounding out their books on that basis, to employ the language of the race track. In other words, the White Sox are the natural and strong favorites among the St. Louis betters. The point is interesting because St. Louis has a team in each major league and hence the men who are willing to risk their money on the big series have had ample opportunity to look over both the Sox and the Reds. Their opinions are founded upon observation as well as upon a study of the dope, which is important to bear in mind. SLAYS FATHER WHO SHOT DOG SLAYS FATHER WHO SHOT DOG "Nobody Has Right to Kill a Canine," Colorado Boy Tells Sheriff. Boulder, Colo., Sept. 19.—Two days ago Ole Flinde killed a dog his son Oran brought home to the ranch 12 miles northeast of Boulder. Oran shot and killed his father and the hired man, William Fulmer, 45. The 20-year-old boy was brought here by the sherriff. "No one has a right to kill a dog," he told the shriff. "I like dogs, don't you?" "Fulmer and dad threatened to run me off the place," he said. BOOZE SEIZURE LAW HELD VOID Wyoming Court's Decision May Result in Return of Much Liquor. Sheridan, Wyo., Sept. 19. --- The search and seizure clause of the Wyoming prohibition law was held unconstitutional by Judge J. H. Burgess in the district court. The court ordered the return to the original owners of large quantities of liquor seized and held as evidence against alleged violators of the dry law. Should the decision be upheld by the state supreme court it will render the work of the prohibition commissioner ineffective and result in the return of thousands of gallons of liquor held by state officers. WANT WINE WITH "KICK" FOR CHURCH PURPOSES Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 19.—Grape juice doesn't contain the requisite proportion of "kick" for sacramental purposes, for at least one religious congregation, according to a letter received by the governor this morning. The letter says: "You may think it a great question, but I don't know where to ask. Can you tell me where we can get some communion wine or altar wine? We have tried grape juice, but that does not satisfy. If you know where we can get some, how shall we get it?" Reports coming into the state law enforcement department, which, according to the law, must be made of wine purchased for sacramental purposes, show that a brisk business in that line of goods is going on. NOVEL WAY OF BOOTLEGGING BARED Porto Rico Had Developed Interest in Distribution of Plants. San Juan, P. R., Sept. 19.—The government officials have just discovered the means by which liquor is carted around San Juan and disposed of in contravention of the prohibition law. The old crude methods were stopped long ago, but the liquor still continued to circulate. Recently an inspector noticed a big boom in the business of peddling growing plants. People who had been in the liquor business, it appeared, were particularly interested in horticulture all of a sudden, and the agent got suspicious and investigated. He found that gasoline tins had been arranged with false bottoms, inclosed in which was the contraband liquor. The upper part of the tin was filled with clay and a growing plant placed in it. The dealer had only to transplant his shrubbery from the filled tin to an empty one and get out the particular form of intoxicant he wanted. MOBILE AND NEW ORLEANS CHINESE DISCUSS SHANTUNG Mobile, Ala., Sept. 19.—Many of the Chinese living in Mobile have received invitations to attend a huge open air mass meeting soon to be held in New Orleans under the auspices of the several Chinese associations and "tongs" in that city, at which time the Shantung question will be discussed and a resolution passed which will be the basis of a petition to President Wilson to ask that congress pass measures preventing Japan from dispossessing China of the Shantung district. For the first time in many years the tongs and the new republic and nationalists parties will be in conference, it being the object of the Chinese leaders in New Orleans to bring together as many of their countrymen as possible from the Gulf states at the time that this meeting is held. Wu Fang, one of the prominent Chinamen in this city, said yesterday that his countrymen were heartily in favor of this movement and that a goodly sized delegation of Chinese residents of Mo would make the trip to New Or-ate in the meeting. 10 BROTHERHOOD SLEEPING CAR PORTERS PROTECTIVE UNION Office of Eastern Headquarters 2297 7th Avenue, New York City.

It shows what some of our people will say for a few paltry dollars.) Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 19.—T. S. Sandefur of Camden, president of the Negro Baptist State Sunday school convention, in a statement yesterday denounced the efforts of agitators and the I. W. W. up North in stirring up race trouble. He says the threats made in demanding race equality and an American mandatory over Germany's African colonies are not approved by the southern Negroes. His statement follows: "The spokesman for the delegation of Negroes who made threats in demanding race equality and an American mandatory over Germany's African colonies do not meet the approval of the Negroes of the South. The black man feels that he is an American citizen. The South with its black and white citizens has made progress and lived in peace for all these years and we think the I. W. W. and the stranger up North should step aside and allow us to attend to our own affairs. "It is not in the heart of the black people of the South to commit any sort of violence looking for something that can never be. There will never be a riot in Arkansas such as that in Washington or that in Chicago, unless some of that bunch comes South. We who are here are satisfied, else we would go elsewhere. We are Southerners in blood and sentiment and are asking for nothing but a man's chance in the race of life. The leading Negroes of the South stand as well with the leading white men of the South as the leading Negroes of the North stand with the leading white men of the North. It is not threats and agitators that the black people of the South need, but proper counsel. Our past record tells who we are. We have answered every call made on us by the government and are standing ready to answer any others that may be made." C. H. Green & Son Make Wonderful Progress in Business Mr. C. H. Green & Son, who have a wonderful record in the shoe polish business, are to be given much credit for their successful career. Mr. Green started many years ago in a small place in the city with two or three customers a day. Today he has the largest business of its kind in Chicago, supplying more than 1,000 customers per week. He has moved to his larger quarters on E. Thirty-fifth st., where he employs many race people. We are in need of men like Mr. Green, who can build up a successful business and at the same time give employment to his race. His new address is 244 E. Thirty-fifth st., where he has a full line of shoe polishes and everything for cleaning shoes and leather. Samuel Ettelson Is Home Again Corporal Counsel Samuel A.

There is a great difference between a Private Bank and a STATE BANK. A PRIVATE BANK is a man who hangs out a sign that says "Banker" and as a rule no responsibility behind him and no capital of any kind. There is no law governing his actions and no law that protects the depositor. No sworn statements of conditions of funds deposited in Private Banks are required of him and no disinterested examinations by auditors are made for the protection of depositors. You give your money to the private Banker an he does with it just what he sees fit. In plain words, YOU HAVE LITTLE OR NO PROTECTION IN PRIVATE BANKS. A STATE BANK is an institution that is under STATE GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION AND CONTROL. It must have at least a cash capital paid in of $200,000 and a substantial surplus. It must be examined by the Banking Departments of the State at least once a year, and it must make FIVE SWORN REPORTS OF ITS FINANCIAL CONDITION, ITS INVEST MENTS, and must at all times keep a liberal amount of all deposits in actual cash, THEREBY GUARANTEEING TO YOU PROTECTION and SAFEGUARD OF YOUR DEPOSITS. Do not be misled by Private Bankers tying up signs on doorways. Do your business with the LINCOLN STATE BANK OF CHICAGO, one of the strongest Banks in the city.

FROTHHOOD SLEEPING CAR POPERS PROJECT UNION POLICE INVESTIGATE COSTLY FUR THEFT Salt Lake City, Sept. 19.—The police are investigating the theft of $3,500 worth of furs and fur coats stolen from the Mode, 44 E. Third South St., early yesterday morning. The porter discovered the robbery on entering the store preparatory to beginning work. A clerk had been in the store until midnight Sunday. According to Henry Segil, manager, the thieves entered the building by smashing the panel of a rear door and reaching through, turned the knob on the lock. They went immediately to the fur case and robbed it of its choicest contents. The inferior furs were left untouched. The loss was fully covered by burglar insurance. The stolen goods evidently were carried from the rear of the store down the alley, which was too narrow for an automobile to enter, to a side street where a car, the police believe, was parked. This is the third fur robbery in Salt Lake within four months. Judge Murphy at the Fair Grounds Accepts Appointment to Preside at Crescent City Winter Meeting—List of Other Officials. New Orleans, La., Sept. 16.—Joseph A. Murphy of St. Louis again will be presiding judge at the Business Men's Racing Association's winter meeting at the Fair Grounds. This was definitely decided at a recent meeting at the Business Men's Racing Association, held in the Macheca Building offices. Judge Murphy already had been communicated with and his acceptance received. J. B. Campbell of this city and S. C. Nuckols, Jr., of Kentucky will be associate judges, they together with Judge Murphy to have equal voice in conducting the racing. A. B. Dade will again do the starting. Joseph McLennan will act as racing secretary, Herman Conkling clerk of the scales, Malcolm Farlane and John Carey patrol judges and Julius Reeder assistance secretary and entry clerk Dr. W. A.

He was arrested Tuesday night. According to operatives of the secret service, Burch made two unsuccessful attempts to pass the spurious coin before he finally succeeded in doing so at a downtown drug store. Previous attempts with a pedestrian and at a bakery failed, each time he was told the half dollar was an imitation. This, it is said, was the basis of the charge that he had knowingly passed the coin. Section 164 of the penal code of the United States statutes makes the passing knowingly of counterfeit currency a crime of the degree as manufacturing it. selected sand having been spread all around and scraped, harrowed and rolled into a splendid graded course; more than half the barns have been entirely rebuilt and barnoofed and many new barns are in the course of construction. Roads have been rebuilt throughout the grounds. The infield has been leveled and within the next fifteen days landscape gardeners will start the big job of making the infield and lawn a beauty spot. Grandstand Nearing Completion The foundation work for the grandstand moved from City Park was completed Friday, and Saturday the first steel column was placed in position and bolted. The entire City Park grandstand now stands beside the site of the Fair Grounds stand destroyed by fire and is waiting to be put into place. The Bedell Structural & Steel Works, contractors, promise to have the stand entirely erected within fifteen days. The steel paddock from City Park will be removed to the Fair Grounds and re-erected as an immense modern barn with a capacity of sixty-four large stables. Thirty thousand pounds of cold water paint and two machines for painting barns inside and out have been delivered to the Fair Grounds and active work finishing up the barns already constructed will begin soon. President B. C. McClellan and Manager R. S. Eddy reported the result of their tour in the East. Among the horsemen who have given their word they positively will be here are: Fred Burlew, who campaigns a fine winter stable; Frank Taylor, who has horses of J. J. Hallenbeck; Ed 'Snapper' Garrison, who trains for Montford Jones; T. J. Carroll, a newcomer in racing, who recently purchased the great horse Westy Hogan from Wilfrid Vian; J. W. McClelland, owner of Eternal, The Wanderer and many others; Frank Regan, with a small but select stable; W. S. Shields, with the horses owned by E. R. Thomas; Major Thomas Clay McDowell, owner of Precious, Olive Wood and many other highly rated thoroughbreds, and Richard Carman, who has Carmandale, Startling and a dozen others. S. C. Hildreth, who owns Purchase, Cirrus and a score of other noted racers, said he will let the local association know within a week if he can come down. He was all fixed last winter to come down, but heard stable accommodations were none too good. Japan Criticizes U. S. The Yamato Says United States Has No Conscience. Tokyo, Aug. 21.—One of the leading Japanese newspapers, the Yamato, in a criticism upon the supposed altruistic roll the United States is playing in bringing justice to the weaker peoples of the world, and especially in the East, as it appertains to the Shantung situation, said that Americans have no conscience at all. They should bow their heads in shame instead of holding them in the air and trying to question the integrity of other nations. Breaks Amendment to Constitution. The accused Americans of lynching and discriminating against Negroes in open defiance of the constitution. And when they are questioned about this they answer: What of it if one or two amendments are broken—if Negroes are kept out of participating in government affairs. The paper also prophesied that unless a federal lynch law was passed to prevent such depraved and outlawed occurrences the United States would face the most serious crisis in its history. A Japanese statesman just returning from Paris took occasion to say that American missionaries in the East are looked upon as colossal hypocritical jokes, because the whole world has turned the spotlight upon the injustice done the American Negro.

Meanwhile, Miss Childers is at work at Goldwyn, having finished her work in support of Geraldine Farrar. The title is out! The stupendous production which Golwyn provided for the Farrar summer vacation, whose title and details have been jealously kept secret, is named "Potters' Clay." It is an original story that deals with the Roosians and Bolsheviki, written by Thomas Buchanan, the Kentucky playwright. Something like ten reels long, with momentous settings by Hugo Ballin after the Bakst style, and with Farrar more willowy than she was when she played Joan.

THE CHICAGO WHIP Who Is Carl Sandburg? --- Lyceum and Chautauqua people of a few years back remember Carl Sandburg as a writer and news man for the old Lyceumite and later he did some work for the Platform Magazine. We first ran onto Sandburg at Smyrna, Del., and have watched him grow as the years go by. "America has always shambled to its destiny," says Edith Wyatt in one of her essays; Lincoln as statesman, Grant as military genius, Whitman as poet, each shambled to his destiny. That Carl Sandburg "shambled to torical prize. He plays the banjo, is quit grammar school at 13 and began driving a milk wagon in Illinois prairie blizzards. His formative years were spent working in brickyards and potteries, and riding "rattlers" to Kansas wheat fields, where he swung a pitchfork at the thrashing machine. He worked his way through Knox college, Galesburg, Ill. J. V. A. Weaver in a short sketch of Sandy printed in the Chicago Tribune set forth these facts: He washed dishes in Denver hotels, shoveled coal in Omaha, saw active service during the Spanish war in Porto Rico as a member of the Sixth Illinois Volunteer Infantry. Later he was secretary to the mayor of Milwaukee during the first Socialist mu her keeping. Disguising himself as a Spanish grandee he arrives at the ranch on the Rio Grande, and his coming is met with disapproval by Hugh Hankins, the scheming fiance, also incurring the enmity of a couple of Mexican peons. They try to assassinate him, but, by mistake, kill the storekeeper. Suspicion falls upon the newcomer, though the girl refuses to believe him guilty. It is while proving his innocense and holding the mob of greasers at bay that a love affair springs up between the heiress and Donald, who eventually proves his identity and routs the plotting lover. CON GAME WORKED ON TICKET MAN The old game put over on several box offices around the circuit a few years ago, was tried again at the Majestic, Jersey City, last week when the "Step Lively Girls" were playing there. A man stepped up to the box office about 6 o'clock one evening with a package addressed to the manager of the show, and with $52.50 charges to be collected. The young man in the box office paid the money. When the package was opened by Manager Shapiro, it contained a dozen lamp shades from a five and ten cent store. STRIKE IN PARIS THEATRES ENDS Paris, Sept. 19.—Because of failure to reach an agreement between the managers and the Federation of Actors and Theatrical Employees, twenty music halls and 350 motion picture houses in Paris and its suburbs closed their doors Saturday. An ultimatum was delivered to Manager M. Franz at the Gaiete-Rochechowart Friday night just before the curtain was to go up and with a packed house. Manager Franz refused to accede to the demands, announced to the audience that there would be no performance, and refunded their money. The closing of the other houses followed. It is now announced that the lockout is to end tomorrow (Tuesday) in order to furnish work for the actors and musicians who asked that the theatres be opened. Salaries are to be paid according to a scale fixed by the managers' association and will be somewhat higher than those paid before the lockout. The managers have agreed not to deal individually with the combined union committee. nicipal administration in that city. During the war he represented a newspaper syndicate in the Scandinavian countries. He enjoys newspaper writing as a craft, and the writing of poetry as an art and religion. At college he took away an oratorical prize. He plays the bnjo, is acquainted with the rigmarole of the ocarina, and has a large repertoire of Negro ballads and spirituals which he sings. He averages five hours' sleep a night, is a long-distance hiker, eats in one-arm lunch rooms, always has his pockets full of clippings and manuscripts, gets letters from vagabonds and missionaries the world over, and has two of his poems included in Martha Foote Crow's "Anthology of Christ Poems." Clement K. Shorter, literary editor of the London Sphere, declares his first book, "Chicago Poems," is to be the most consequential volume of American poetic utterances and vision since Whitman and Emerson. He shared with Miss Widdemer the first prize this year of the Poetry Society of America, and in 1914 won the Levinson prize of poetry—a Magazine of Verse. His poems have been translated into French, Spanish and Yiddish. He was born in Galesburg, Ill., on Jan. 6, 1878. He is married and has four children. DEMPSEY AND KEARNS EMPLOY THEATRICAL MANAGER Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 19. — Contracts were closed here by Jack Kearns for Jack Dempsey and himself whereby Frank P.

LAWYERS' FEES FOR ACTORS RUN INTO THE THOUSANDS It was estimated early last week by a theatrical attorney who is familiar with the fees charged by prominent lawyers in cases that attract wide public interest, that at least $75,000 will be the amount the managers will have to pay the lawyers who acted for them during the actors' strike. Chief among those who will receive a large fee for his services is Bainbridge Colby, chosen by William Klein, the Schubert attorney, as the counsel-in-chief for the managers. Mr. Colby, it is reported, will receive a fee of $25,000, he having already received $5,000 on account as a retainer. Chas. S. Tuttle and Edward Auerbach, both being members of the law firm of Davies, Stone & Auerbach, will receive fees totaling $20,000. Nathan Burkan, attorney for Smith and Golden and Charles B. Dillingham, William Klein, attorney for the Shuberts and one or two legal luminaries of lesser importance will probably divide between them at least $30,000 in fees for the special services they rendered during the strike to their managerial clients. RECORDING PACE AND HANDY HITS Russell Robinson, formerly professional manager of Pace & Handy Music Company, and now with the Dixieland Jazz band in London, has made several excellent recordings for the Columbia Company, best of which are "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" and "Oh, Death, Where Is Thy Sting," recently sung by Bert Williams for the Columbia Graphophone Company of New York City. Francis Day & Hunter, who represent the Pace & Handy Company in the Orient, have contracted with Mr. Robinson to make recordings for player rolls and phonograph records, which will detain him until the middle of October, after which he will return to America.

Husband Says Wife Wooed His Brother St. Louis, Sept. 19.—Suit for divorce has been filed in circuit court by Dave Schlittler against his wife, Florence, 3011 Minnesota avenue, charging she endeavored to make love to his brother and tried to persuade him to elope with her. The petition alleges Mrs. Schittler accused the plaintiff as posing as unmarried and said he had made appointments with other women. The petition recites that such accusations were made on information received by Mrs. Schittler from a fortune teller, and when suit was instituted against the fortune teller by Schittler his wife "agreed and conspired with relatives to go to sanitarium, so that a case could not be made." The complainant asserts his wife continually nagged him and would go to the home of her grandmother, where "the grandmother laid the cards against him." The petition recites that after these visits his wife would come home enraged and call him vile names. According to the document the Schlittlers were married Dec. 31, 1913, and separated March 8, 1919. Schlittler seeks the custody of their son Oliver, 4 years old. Receives Southern Business During the past week, M. T. Bailey, 3638 State st., president of the Bailey Realty company, and manager of the Milton Mercantile Agency, received much business from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. These people are purchasing farms on the outskirts of the city, others are buying lots upon which they will build cottages. The plan used by the Bailey Realty company, is such a reasonable one that the people are taking this opportunity to pay rent to themselves. Mr. Bailey is also in direct touch with a syndicate that will furnish money to parties for building or purchasing upon proper securities. 11 Women's Amateur Minstrels Make Hit The fifth annual amateur minstrel was given Wednesday evening at the Chicago theatre, Seventh and Wabash ave., by the Women's Amateur Minstrel. It was the most elaborate affair given by the amateurs in the state of Illinois, by either white or black. The house was packed to its capacity; many white faces were seen among the audience in the large auditorium. The costumes worn by the women taking part were gorgeous. Miss Ione Harris, who took the honors of the night, was dressed as an angel that had fallen from above. The "Shrapnel Blues," which was sung and displayed by one of the company, reminds one of the old Eighth of their glowing achievements. There were many out-of-town visitors, who will have much to carry back home with them in the way of enjoyment which they reaped from this minstrel show. Some of the fancy dances which were danced by members of the minstrels could not have been danced any better by some of the best toe or any other kind of dancer in existence. The feature songs of the night were: "The Shrapnel Blue," which was written by one of our own, Mrs Marion Lee Bell. The number Jeane was sung by Miss J. Smith. "That's Why They Call Me Shine" reminds one of that famous comedian. Many other numbers were sung and displayed by the company. The famous Byron Brothers' Orchestra furnished the music. The girls are due much credit. They have set a mark for the men's amateur, a mark which will be hard to beat.
