KILL Alpha Phi Alpha Big Conv Emmet Scott, Prin College Men Fro of the Gl Emmet Scott, secretary and treasurer of Howard University, and former assistant to secretary of War Baker, is to address the Chicago Public, under the auspices of the national convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity at Wendell Phillips High School, Sunday, Dec. 28, 1919, at 4 P. M. The intent of the coming together which is termed an educational Mass Meeting is to weld a firmer band of contact between the young men with the public at large, to discuss issues vital to the life of the race and to define clearly their position their ideals and possibilities. Dr. Gloe Kall, who is a grand ex- excited number of the fraternity, as also Mr. Scott, will preside at the meeting. The Chicago Public is well Colored Man, Axe In Hand, Orders "American Style" London, Dec. 12.—In a restaurant known as the Picadilly Corner House a Negro took a seat and laid an axe on the table. Diners smiled at the foible: They thought he was going to order steak. Suddenly the Negro began to smash the tables, hairs and china about him. Hundreds of diners fled (it is a large restaurant), many more being trammed upon. More than $200 worth of imago was done by the axe before a Negro was overpowered. The Negro said he was an Amerin, that he had been discharged by a restaurant and was hungry. Hisions are further explained by The London Daily Mail as follows: "This is a common incident in the United States. A man who is down his luck there will get an axe, go to a restaurant and lay it on a le. An axe on a table is a well-sign to restaurant proprietors, promptly pay out $5, for they w that while they are fetching police the man can do infinitely e damage."

Funeral Procession Is Hit By Street Car; 2 Mourn Injured Automobile Is Smashed in Accident At Preston and Oak Streets. Louisville, Ky.—A funeral procession was cut in half, two mourners were injured and confusion ran riot when a Preston street car struck the eighth machine of the procession as it crossed the intersection of Preston and Oak streets at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Leslie Mosley, colored, 919 Eleventh Street, received a wrenched back and George McEwing, colored, 913 West Madison Street, was bruised and shaken up. O. W. Mason, chauffeur, was unable to continue to drive the machine. The funeral procession was that of St. Clair Martin, colored, and was en route to the Louisville Cemetery, on the Poplar Level Road. The funeral car was damaged badly. It belonged to Harvey Burns, undertaker. Protest Jim Crowing In Congressional Library The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, to-day made public an emphatic protest sent to President Wilson against race segregation in the Congressional Library in Washington. The protest asserts that colored people have been excluded from the public restaurant of the Library and that colored employees have been segregated in the lunch room. "We desire most emphatically to protest" says the letter to President Wilson "against the policy adopted by those in charge of the Congressional Library of denying to colored employees facilities which should be maintained for the use of all and to the colored people of Washington and of the country in general the use of the restaurant maintained by federal taxes for the general public". CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1919 THE MEANING OF THE HARMONY DINNER THERE'S YOUR CANDIDATE- VOTE FOR HIM!! SEE!!! VOTES VICLE TOMSON WID WARD VOTER? Mangled Heros Separated at Drexel Blvd. Hospital GERMAN PRISON CAMPS BETTER THAN JIM CROW HOSPITAL IN LAND OF FREE. At the government Base Hospital, 47th and Drexel Boulevard, there are several of our colored wounded soldiers. In compliance with a ruling in effect at this hospital, the colored and white men are completely separated, they not even being allowed to walk on the same floors of the building together. The efficiency of this segregation has given opportunity for another display of race prejudice and narrowness on the part of the white patrons of the hospital in that they are absolutely declining to decorate or prepare for Xmas the wards inhabited by the colored soldiers; saying that the colored people know they are out there, let them do for their own. Mrs. Evendorph in conjunction with the Girls' Patriotic Service League and other organizations of a similar character have responded by going to the relief of this situation with decorations and gifts; however a widespread effort on the part of more colored people to carry good cheer and fellowship to these wounded men who fought for Democracy would be greatly appreciated by the above named organizations. Don't forget that despite the fact that our soldiers needed no vindication for their loyalty and bravery, their wonderful fighting in the war has again impressed the world that they are Men. That could be a reason for this new display of prejudice. FRESH JAPANESE TROOPS BEING SENT TO SIBERIA. Washington, D. C., Dec. 20.—Fresh Japanese troops are being sent into Siberia, said official dispatches from Vladivostok received here today. Two transports are unloading at Valdivostok, the message advised and others are reported en route. Senator Asks That South's Representation Be Lessened Washington, Dec. 11.—Col. Chas. Young, the highest ranking colored officer in the United States regular service at West Point graduate and one of the most efficient cavalry officers in the universe at the request of President King of Liberia was selected by the Wilson administration as military attache to the African republic. Trained African Army Trained African Army. Some years ago Col. Young was given a leave of absence from the United States Army, during the interim he went to Liberia and introduced the present military system that is being used. During his stay he succeeded in building an Army numbering more than 50,000. It is said that as a result of his modern training Liberia has been able to stay from the hand of designing White Nation's from Western Europe. Col. Young says that the natives are born fighters, all they need is a uniform system. Retired by Wilson. During the late war Col. Young, who was then Lt. Col. of cavalry, was relagated to the scrap heap by the Wilson administration. The excuse being "Physical disability" according to expert testimony the Col. was in first class shape. White men however who had never seen a rifle or who did not know the command "right dress" were given high commissions. Prejudice is said to be the direct cause of this retirement, according to Army regulation. When an officer is retired he is automatically given a rank higher, this being reuw Col. Young had he been retained in the active service would have been retired with the rank of General. The south being in the saddle the Colonel did not have a ghost of a show. Shall Not Disfranchise Colored. Washington, Dec. 10.—The representation of the South in congress and alleged disfranchisement of colored people must end. This is the gist of a resolution introduced by Senator Moses of New Hampshire. The resolution was referred to the houses Judiciary Committee. The resolution would require a Woman Murders Son; Tries to Hide Crime By Accusing Negros Atlantic City, N. Y., Dec. 19th. Had Mrs. Esther Blake been in Mississippi instead of New Jersey two unfortunate colored men would be swinging to day. As it is her tale has been discredited by the police and she is being held for a crime for which she sought to escape responsibility by using the time worn charge of the south. Several days ago Mrs. Blake related to the police the astonishing story of her son's kidnapped by two negroes "of burly appearance". She claimed that the two men attacked her while she was walking along the beach in company with her son and that after she had been severely beaten and bruised, her son had been carried off by the men. STORY DISCREDITED. Yesterday the boy's body was found on the beach, washed up by the waves. No two such men as Mrs Blake described have been seen in the neighborhood and the police are inclined to scoff at her whole story. It is the belief of the authorities that the woman killed her son, who is a deaf mute, in order to win back the affections of her husband, from whom she had been away. Her husband blamed her for her son's affliction. THE STYLE OF THE SOUTH. This is only an instance of what happens daily in the south. In Atlantic city the story is discredited. In Georgia a mob would have been formed immediately. If any two colored men whom the woman should care to accuse. report by July 1, on franchise discrimination and on legislation "as will reduce the representation in said state or states, as provided by the fourteenth constitutional amendment." Senator Moses, in a statement on his resolution, indicated ot was prompted by the Michigan election cases. Culprit Caught Confesses Crime Expressman held as accessory after fact One of the most barbaric, heinous, fiendish and cave man like murders that ever docketed the annals of police history consummated itself Thursday night, Dec. 11th, when the body of Mrs. Reese cut into pieces aws unearthed on a vacant lot at 3657 So. State St. The mysterious crime had its beginning at the apartments of the murdered woman, Mrs. Reese, and her husband John Henry Reese, 3658 Wabash Ave. It was said by neighbors that she and her husband had quarreled during the course of the evening of December 5th. Just what led up to this mis-understanding has not revealed itself up to this date. Jealousy suspected. It has been authentically tsaed that Reese gave his wife sometime during Thursday, Dec. the 4th, $270.00 in cash money. Just what disposition was made of the money has not yet been determined. It is generally understood that the money and other domestic affairs played a major part in the tragedy. Tenants get suspicious. The sudden disappearance of Mrs. Reese for several days aroused the suspicion of friends and neighbors, Patrolman Blue of the Cottage Grove Ave. station was called in, he knocked on the door several times and got no response. Fearing that the culprit might take advantage of the situation as he was alone the officer proceeded to summon help. The arrival of the patrol wagon bore a half dozen or more blue coats. The strong arm of the law was forced to break through the door to gain admittance. Upon entering the room they found Reese supposedly in a Colored Men Revolt British Rule. Seize Gov't. Buildings (Special to the Whip). London, Dec. 19, 1919.—On the Islands of Trinidad and Tabbage the most progressive and enlightened of the West Indian Islands and populated almost entirely by colored people was a scene of revolutionary uprising for over seven days. The British government considers this revolt the most significant, since the Boar uprising grew out of labor trouble. It is said that the uprising has been in the making for more than three years, but that the natives upon flattering promises for social and economic equality and independence by the British Government decided to bury the hatchet and heat back the Hun. Instead of fulfilling their promises the British government has tried to introduce the American practice of peonage. They have also tried to curb free speech and free assemblage. HOLIDAY EDITION EXTRA PRICE FIVE CENTS CHET IT LOT Caught uses Crime held as accessory ter fact slumbering state of rest. So ignorant was he that any suspicion had been centered around him and to further conceal any identity of the crime he claimed not to have heard anyone trying to gain admittance to his apartments. After giving him a through grilling he admitted frankly to the crime and stated clearly that he and his wife had some domestic trouble which led up to the killing. Wife's head was crushed in. During the course of the heated argument he seized a deadly weapon striking her on the head and crushed the skull in two places. Not being satisfied with the job he had done, he employed a friend, whose name is Owen Donaldson and lives at 30 East 37th St., operating an express wagon, to help him to dissect the body. After having cut the body into pieces they carried it out and burried it in a vacant lot at 3657 So. State St. Later developments show that the head was found at 40th and Wentworth Ave., presumably carried there by Donaldson who says that he was paid $25.00 by Reese to assist him in destroying the body. Reese has lived in Chicago quite a long time and was formerly employed by the Pullman Co. as a porter. In order that he might be able to give more time to the inner circle of home affairs, forsook the travails of the porter's life and found employment at the Stock Yards where he was working as a butcher at the time the dastardly crime was committed. Personal friends of Reese says that his disposition was stubborn, temper unruly and that he had an evil disposition mind. Again Georgia Shames the Nation Again Georgia Shames the Nation Man Who Shot and Slightly Wounded Young White Farmer is Found Hanging to Tree. Macon. Ga., Dec. 10 - For shooting and slightly wounding Hansel Rosier, Jr., son of a farmer of Wilkenson county, Ga., a colored man who's name has not yet been learned, was sometime Sunday night lynched by a mob at big Walnut church, forty-eight miles southwest of Macon. Mob Moves Like Spirit in the Night. Like the spirit in the night the mob wound its way to the home of the victim where he was resting in deep slumber, bound and gagged, hurrying him away to the community square where the lynching took place. It is said that the man was slugged to death even before he mob was half the distance of church yard. ```markdown ``` Mrs. Miller of Montreal, Canada, is now visiting her daughter and son-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. Van Johnson, 3828 Calumet Ave. A committee of women of the Second Ward have been appointed to solicit for Christmas baskets for the sick children of the ward, with the co-operation of the dispensary at 29th and Calumet Ave. Lieut.

Michelson, proprietor. HYMEN CATCHES POPULAR TONSORIAL ARTIST. The ways of cupid are many and the wiles of Bacheladom weak in comparison, and whenever one hears a man denouncing the sacred ties one knows that something is wrong. And when so popular a man as Mr. W. R Reed, better known as "Opie," declares he would never marry, we know that the little church around the corner is all set for a nice little ceremony. The funny part about this story is the fact that Mrs. Mellie Bryant Daly has been holding pretty much the same sort of ideas as Mr. Reed. Alas for Mrs. and also for Mr. Reed. One couldn't resist the fascination of the other; Cupid's caught them fast and will lead them to the altar on Jan. 7, 1920. Mr. Reed is a politician of some note and the manager of J. D. Leonard's Tonsorial Parlors. His many friends are congratulating him on the step he has taken and are laying in a supply of rice ando ld shoes for the 17th. Mrs. F. L.

Oh, the tragedy of going about the streets, a moving, living problem, meeting at every corner, in every block, in every public place—even in the House of God, that distressing, ambition-destroying, spectre, "You are a problem." But on the other hand, we shall endure to the end, sanguine in the promises of our God that He will bring righteousness to pass. Mrs. Tom Boming of Jacksonville, Fla, is visiting friends in this city. Mrs. Ethel McDew of Philadelphia was called to the bedside of her mother, Mrs. O. B. Muncey.

If you can scrap and never get a licking, Play ball and get a hit each time at bat, Touch down and never miss the goal you're kicking. And sprint the century below ten flat; If on the five you never fail a basket: Can smash a rib and think that it is fun. Yours is the earth and all, if you but ask it. And what is more you'll be a BEAR my son. GYM GEMS. I know a prize fighter who uses a powder puff—like Kelly does. A race is never won until the tape is broken; many a spinner has been nosed out just before he crossed the line. A champion athlete's admirers are like his shadow—they can only be seen while he is in the sun. With the cabarets closing at 11 P. M. and Spiritus Fermenti sold only in pill form or dubbed million-aires' joy water, the question is, what form of diversion will now attract the State Street Speed Kings? I have seen many a hot baseball game but never one so intense that they had to use snow balls. Why do they call runners pants, "trunks"—may be it because they're a part of their traveling equipment. Can you imagine kids playing baseball beneath the palm trees on the 14th of December. While we are lutting it to the office in 10 below atmosphere. Pretty soft for some people. Pasadena Merchants Win From Los Angeles White Ser California Teams Play Baseball While Rest Of Country Shivers In Cold. o (Special to Chicago Whip). Pasadena, Cal., Dec. 14, 1919. The Pasadena Merchants out-played the Los Angeles White Sox in a one sided game here last Sunday. Woods the much tutered slatman of the L. A. bunch made a good beginning but the merchants found little difficulty in getting into connection with his slow balls and knocked him out of the box in 4th. The Pasadena crowd bagged eleven runs before his funeral. While the hurlers of the Pasadenas handed out only a stingy couple to the Engle aggregation. Washington, who replaced Woods, was able to stop the drives of the Pasadena team but his team matters never moved sufficiently to cut down the lead of the Local team. The Merchants manager taking no chances relieved Mr. Kirk in the 5th and substituted Ross who remained Thermont in session. Mr. Mullen a Chicago boy held down his old position on the third sack for the home team. Fisher of the Vernon Club assisted greatly at first. New Kirk and Hannah, old battery of the Vernon and Daniels of the American Association were in the line up for the L. A. Hawkins proved he is still master of third base. Manager Gaw played first in Frank Chance style. JOHNSON LOOKS THEM OVER. Owner Johnson was out looking over the weak spots in the White Sox's and made a statement that he expects to strengthen his line up in the near future. Johnson also has his eyes open for a site to erect a home park for the White Sox. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R HE W. Sox 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 6 2 P.

The new doorkeeper at the museum had evidently learned the rules by heart before taking over the job. "Here, sir, you must leave your umbrella at the door", he said to a visitor who was going right through. "But I haven't an umbrella", said the visitor. "Then you must go back and get one", was the stern reply. "No one is allowed in here unless he leaves his umbrella at the door*" Jack Johnson, He Throw A Da Bull. Mexicans go wild at feats of Ex- Champion. Mexico City, Dec. 14, 1919.—Jack Johnson, ex-champion of the world, finding human game enough to stand up before his terrific punches demonstrated his wonderful powers by exterminating two mad bulls in the arena in this city today. The champions feat was not unattended by danger. Entering the ring, he ran into a tumult of cheering and strode across to the boxes of the aristocracy, who are wild about Lil' Arthur and bowed 'deeply, unfortunately some blunderer opened the door of the bull pen at which the dusky Mexican idol was thus engaged and the previous bull hurled itself across the arena at the ex-boxer. The compact of the animals head striking Johnson in the rear knocked him into the rail of the boxes. Jack clambored back into the ring and altho bulled in the solos plar boldly planted his stick between the shoulders for a knock. Altho Johnsons white silk shirt and duck trousers and white shoes were covered with gore he isisted upon fighting another bull and had no difficulty in overpowering the charging animal. Johnson is the favorite Gonedor of Mexicans. LANGFORD AND JACK THOMP SON FINED $500 EACH FOR STACING "SHIMMY" Referee Stops Go. Minnesota Boxing Committee Declares "No Eight." Commissioner Declare Duluth, Minn., Dec. 13.—The scheduled 10-round no-decision here last week between Sam Langford, Chicago heavyweight, and Jack Thompson, Philadelphia fighter, was stopped in the sixth round by the referee and declared Langford and his opponent were only doing the "shimmy" and according to the referee made no effort to box. Ordinarily a suspension would have followed. Such would have been the case, however, had the decision been reached by most boxing boards. The Minn. boxing commission has the right idea. And only recently Jeff Smith and Jack McCarron were suspended by the commission for a shady bout here. M. Coogan, the flatbush lightweight, received a like suspension. Practically a suspension amounts to nothing but waiting till 'things blow over.' JESS A PROFITEER? Willard Said To Have Sold Lumber At Excessive Price. Kansas City, Dec. 20.—Profeitering was charged to-day against Jess Willard, former heavyweight world's champion pugilist in a warrant issued for Willard's arrest by Fred Robertson, United States District Attorney for Kansas. The warrant, according to a statement issued by the authorities, will be served to-morrow. The complaint lodged against Willard is that he charged excess prices for green standing timber on his farm near Lawrence, Kan. BASKET BALL SEASON OPEN Eastern Fans Have Edge on the West Intersectional Basketball Now that the shriek of the time-keeper's whistle has sounded the demise of the football season, the war-horses of the gridiron must hit themselves to repair shops and hospitals, while the bloodthirsty spectators must reconcile themselves to the gentler indoor sports. Just at present the gyms, halls and casinos are resounding with the thug of the basketball, as barelegged athletes dribble it down the courts. As would be expected, the birds in and about "Lil' Old New Yawk" are staging classic events with more elaborateness and frequency than elsewhere. This does not, however, necessarily follow that Manhattanites can rightly boast of a national champion quintet, without giving the out-of-town "fives" due consideration. The basketball fever can no longer be termed epidemic. Its propensities have assumed rather a pandemic aspect. There has been a sudden rise in enthusiasm which has swept down the Atlantic Seaboard to the big Southern universities, around the circle and up the Mississippi to the great lakes. Neither Nashville, Louisville, St. Louis, nor the Ohio towns have escaped the ravages of the disease. It goes without saying that Pittsburgh still possesses a chronic stage of basketballitis. Even old Chicago has not developed an immunity. There aren't many teams here, but what we have are good—gosh darn! Binga Dismond Champion quarter Miler Edits this page.

Water has a way of seeking its level; even in the congestion of Gotham this law holds good. The crowded corners of the metropolis are no places for the young men to pass the time of day. It is therefore only to be expected that somewhere in Harlem there is a "stopping off" place where the "decent" fellows of that overcrowded district can dodge the hustle and bustle of the New York Streets long enough to catch their breath and spend an hour or so with the "boys". Such a place is the Association. QUALITY S 4727 South Fine Footwear f We sell shoes at lowes ONCE you have sive assortm see why this is hood store—when Back in the days when Williams and Walker productions were playing to Broadway audiences, Bert Williams showed his gratitude to his venerable father by making him a present of the barber shop and poolroom now fondly referred to by the street as the Association. In the good old days when everybody was humming "Bon Bon Buddy", 2283 was frequented almost exclusively by the stage-folk. There were such brilliants as Jesse Shipp, Henry Troy, Will Marian Cook, Creamer, Jim Europe, Copeland, Peyton, Bojangles, Cole and Johnson, Walker, Hart, Cecil Mack, Christ Smith, Joe Jordan, Harper, Will Rogers, Will Tyers and a royal galaxy of other celebrities. As time passed, however, the footlight people thinned out and younger fellows began to visit the place more and more frequently. Jesse Shipp bought out the business and finally gave it over to Jesse, Jr., whose "goodwill" at once established the place in the hearts of young Harlem. The strong rivaling athletic clubs of the neighborhood, the St. Christopher, the Alphas and the Salem-Crescents, found it a place of armed neutrality, where bloodless word battles could be fought. The Association gradually became the shrine of hero-worshiping, and their enthusiasm has grown to such proportions that they keep track of every race athlete on the map; and no matter where one is performing, those bugs are onto it and are pulling for him to come through. It is worth a trip to New York to lamp the pictures they have on the walls. When you give those walls the once over you'll get a close up on many lads you thought you had forgotten. The stage stars as well as the gods of the athletic world are represented. Some are cut-outs from the Theatrical Notes and some are taken bodily out of the Sporting Sheet.

When he made his renowned eastern invasion last year (so long to be remembered by Jo Loomis), a letter addressed to the Association would have reached him quicker than a telegram to his boarding house. A good part of Drew's "come-back" last year was due to the consistent "pulling" of the Association. They took the roof off of more than one armory when Howard breezed through a winner. When Drew experienced his slight reversal of form at the Nationals and lost, Jesse Shipp cried; but when Drew had dressed and come out, he found he was the same Drew to the bunch. A champion can't get in bad with the Association merely by losing. They are game all the way through. Pollard is another favorite at 2283. So is little Roy Morse, and Howe also goes big. And let me say that they treated your writer like a king when he was in town. And if there was disappointment at the showing I made, they were too thorough to show it.

Jesse Shipp's Place, Known As Association Headquarters of Eastern Athletes. There are very few fellows around the Association who do not hold responsible positions. Most are in the Wall street district and during business hours the old place is well nigh deserted. After dinner, however, the bunch drps in. The Victrola is going, the chairs are full, and the tables are busy. "Wash" is working hard. Murphy is handing his line to some victim and Jesse is doing somebody a favor. Jesse has a heart as big as his body and that's saying a lot. The bunch knows this; too; they showed it last summer, when they surprised him by making him a present of a railroad-ticket to Cincinnati, his home, and return; and a gang of spending change.

English-speaking residents of Cuba are ready to contribute 100,000 for the campaign, according to Guy S. Inman, secretary of the interdenominational committee of the churches on co-operation in Latin-America, Church organizations throughout the United States will be asked to assist. "There is a very definite attempt being made," said Dr. Inman, "to make Cuba, particularly Havana, the Monte Carlo of the Western world. The winter season in Cube generally is gay, but this year efforts will be made to add new attractions. Horse racing and other forms of gambling will be in full blast. "As Christians we cannot get away from our duty to intervene. The home mission boards of the churches of the United States must take steps at once to set up an evangelical campaign to combat the great evil that will be let loose in that city. The better element of the island recognizes the danger of the winter season as planned." Dr. Inman said 8000 Americans had applied to the State Department for passports to Cuba for the winter season and that by January 1st the number would exceed 100,000. Denial that the island was becoming a Mone Carlo was made today by Leopold Dolz, Cuban consul general at New York. He said there were no plans on foot to legalize roulette or other games that feature Monte Carlo. “Racing is attracting many Americans to Havana this season as usual”, he said. “There is betting on the horses, as there is in New York city, with this difference: In Cuba, the government protects the bettors; in New York, the man who wins has no redress if the person with whom he laid a wager fails to pay. And it is legal in Cuba for one to buy a cocktail. In New York, according to the papers, you sometimes can buy a drink, but it is not legal. “I have never heard of any English-speaking residents of the island objecting to racing and cocktails. If they should raise any funds at all in this connection it probably would be for more of the same.” Colored People To Have Fair Colored People To Have Fair Exhibit Sent to State Fair Will Be Brought Here and Greatly Enlarged. Florida.—Among the most interesting features of the forthcoming South Florida Fair will be the varied exhibits made by the negroes of Florida, who are expected to be represented by a large display than has been made by members of the race in any state. President Brorein of the fair association is in receipt of a letter from A. A. Turner, who is connected with the home demonstration department of the Florida A. & M. College at Tallahassee, stating that members of the race throughout the state are enthusiastic on the subject of displaying their products in Tampa. Sixteen counties were represented in the display made by the colored people at the state fair at Jacksonville, and the writer states that this display, augmented by other exhibits, will be shown in Tampa. The Tampa organization formed for the purpose of interesting members of the race in the fair has begun work and is reaching into every part of the state for exhibits. Officers of the association are Dr. J. A. White, president. A. R. Thomas, vice-president; Rev. H. J. Farrell, secretary, and J. N. Clinton, treasurer. Henry E. Snow, who has been in charge of the Plant Park grounds since the fair movement was inaugurated, has begun the work of getting them ready for the fair, and the erection of additional buildings will be rushed as rapidly as possible. The educational exhibit at the fair promises to be by far the best yet presented. Frank Huffaker, publicity agent, who has been in Pinellas county, for some time, states that Dixie Hollis, the progressive superintendent of public instruction of that county, hopes to bring over an even better educational exhibit than was shown last year, and the educational heads of other counties are equally enthusiastic. General Manager B. K. Hana-foure is expected to arrive in Tampa from Jacksonville during the present week, following which promotion of fair work in every phase will be taken up energetically.

State St. What is called one of the "standard" dreams, one which is most annoying and one which everybody almost, has experienced at least once in his life, some people many times, is the dream of finding oneself in a thronged street or in a room filled with people and suddenly realizing that one is only partially clothed or not clothed at all. In these dreams the people with whom we find ourselves do not appear to take any notice of our unconventional condition, but the dreamer is much disturbed and endeavors to escape. This dream has received particular attention from those scientists who for more than half a century have been investigating the phenomena of dreams regarded as purely mental (or, more-accurately, psychic), or as physical manifestations. The dream in question is said to be the basis of Hans Christian Andersen's story, "The Emperor's New Clothes," and has been done into poetry by the German author, Fulda, in "The Talisman." It is called by the scientists a "standard" or "typical" drama because it is one which is experienced by all persons in an identical or almost identical manner; whereas most of our dreams are peculiar to ourselves. The empirics—those who interpret dreams in the old, superstitious, traditional, mystic and unscientific manner — declare the dream under London, December, 20—(Special Cable).—Two broken ships have been joined together and now form one vessel. The feat was performed in Chatham dock yard. Two destroyers, the Zulu and Nubian, were seriously damaged by mines, one in the bow and the other in the stern. The sound ends were joined a new ship and turned out, the names also being combined into Zubian. Parts of the center of each vessel had to be cut away to get the proper length for the Zubian. The senior yard foreman in charge of the work was awarded a decoration. consideration to be a bad omen, though they do not all agree just how bad. They say it signifies that people are conspiring against you; that oy uare soon to receive an insult; you will be disappointed in your friends and relatives, and it is a warning to you to mend your ways. Those scientists who strive to account fro dreams by referring them to a physical source say that this dream is simply the result of sensations caused by the bedclothes slipping off. But that does not hold, for we frequently have the dream when covered up warm. Professor Freud, the latest and the most celebrated of investigators of dream sources, says in his book, "The Interpretation of Dreams," that the dream is based upon a recollection of our earliest childhood. When we were babies we were seen with indifference by relatives, strangers and servants scantily dressed and were not ashamed. These recollections of babyhood, imprisoned, dormant and unrecallable in our waking hours, are liberated to us in the dream state. Our feeling of uneasiness and desire to escape though no one notices our nudity, is a reflex from the "repression" of our later lives during which the habit of being properly clothed in public has become part of our normal existence. Professors' Union Wins Many Converts. New York, December 10.—The new college professors' union, bound by its constitution to display an academic interest in strikes, has taken root in sixteen of the city's institutions of higher learning. Dr. Henry R. Linville, presiden of the union, said today that communications had been received indicating that college faculty members throughout the country were considering the advisability of unionizing. To enable bicyclists to carry babies with them when riding, an Englishman has invented a sheet iron drum, open at the back, to be clamped beside the rear wheel of a bicycle. TO BAR HOMESTEADS FROM OBJECTORS. Washington, December 20.—Conscientious objectors are excluded in a resolution adopted by the house today and sent to the senate, giving world war veterans first chance to obtain homesteads on public lands to be opened to settlement during the next two years. The veterans would have 60 days to file their entries before the lands would be open to the general public. The clause aimed at objectors, added on the floor, says those who refused to give military service or to wear the uniform shall not benefit under the resolution. Jim Crowed After Death Hearse Refused to Colored Woman in Oklahoma The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public the following extracts from a letter showing that discrimination against colored people does not end with death: "Sunday November 16, I attended a funeral at Vinita, Oklahoma. The undertaker would not hire his hearse to the lady as they do not allow colored people to use the same hearse that white people ride in. The one they have been using for colored people has worn out, therefore she sent to Chetopa, Kansas, and hired one."

Rio De Janeiro, December 20.—The Brazilian government is taking steps to be properly represented at two important conferences to be held shortly in Montevideo at which problems affecting the social and economic life of the various southern nations will be considered. All the principal South American countries will send delegations to these meetings. One conference will deal with the problem of the high cost of living, while the other will discuss immigration and measures for dealing with bolshevists, anarchists and other undersirables. At the suggestion of Brazil, discussion of the question of stricter immigration laws will be separated from the question of giving the various governments, either through individual initiative or by joint action, greater powers for dealing with undesirable radicals. In the high cost of living conference the measures proposed include free trade in articles of prime necessity and the creation of special stocks in the various producing zones.. The selection of Brazil's representatives at the conference is now under consideration, and the minister of agriculture has already gathered much data as to prices and the economic capacity of the country for the use of the delegation.

A certain Brown Skin Gentleman employed as soda dispenser at Walgreen's Drug Store continues to make eyes at the lady patrons. Look out brother, the Whip Cracker puts out eyes too. How do some working girls wear such expensive fur coats on such meagre incomes—ask Wheeler. Certain High School girls who attend Wendell Phillips insist on being loud and boisterous on the cars. They also meet fellows and hang out on the corners. We know your names. Watch your conduct girls. Avoid the lash. A certain young man employed on The Staff of the World's Greatest Weekly says that the Whip should stop fighting the political bandits and carpet baggers in the 2nd Ward. You are out of order brother, and besides you have no information. You belong to the old crowd. Who is the alderman who voted against the mayor on the traction ordinance and excused his cowardly act by saying he was "With the mayor but not for him." When will the politicians stop practising law and give our young educated lawyers a chance to earn a living. When will the colored people start fighting the rent profiteers? COLORED PEOPLE GO WEST.

After pondering over all these things and listening to the persuasion of our father, we decided to drive the car "Hello, there, old friend," hailed two young men as the Editor was passing the Union Depot last Tuesday night. When the Editor turned to see from whom had come such cordial greetings, two young men whom the Editor had the pleasure of teaching in Ringgold, La., in 1910-11, approached and extended their hands. After talking over the past, and asking questions concerning the several families that were living in Ringgold when the Editor worked there, we finally asked, "Why are you boys not in Straight College, where you attended school last year?" To this question the elder of the two young men, leaning himself against a post on Louisiana St., replied as follows: "Well," said he, "things have changed in our community, and the change is against us, the Negro race. Since the world war has ended in favor of the Allies, the 'good white people' (?) of our community have shorn the Negroes of the few privileges that they enjoyed before the war. for example," he continued, "we own a $1,750 automobile, for which we paid cash. Five white men met my brother the other day, while we were out for a spin, stopped our car and addressed us as follows: 'We want you niggers to understand that this, the South, is a white man's country, and we are not going to allow you damn niggers to be riding around in this community in automobiles; if we catch you out again in this car we are going to break your damn necks. You hear that? The best thing that you coons can do is to sell that car as quick as you can,' concluded the 'law-abiding' white man. We were not afraid of them," sharply continued the elder young man, "but we knew that if we continued to drive our car trouble would arise, and, should we get the best of the fight, all of the 'law-abiding' white men of the community would come together for the purpose of lynching and burning not only us, but our father, mother, sisters and brothers.

What do you think years and is one of the most prosperous farmers in that community. He owns much land, property and cash. He is law abiding to the letter—he knows nothing else. At one time he operated a store and a cotton gin. White men blew up his gin and fired his store. Then he devoted his attention to farming exclusively, and at this he has made good. HOW CHICAGO IS BEHAVING NOW. "Sir, if it were not for the notion of immortality," said Dr. Johnson to Boswell, "he would cut a throat to fill his pockets." When Boswell quoted this to Beaucterk the latter replied: "He would cut a throat to fill his pockets if it were not for fear of bein hanged." Poor human nature! It needs the constant threat of punishment to keep it from crime. Despite the advance of civilization, despite centuries of humanitarian teaching, there interposes between society and anarchy only the fear of punishment, the dread of the hangman. A few weeks ago this was evident by the wave of lawlessness that followed the police strike in Boston. Now there is a still more startling demonstration in the outburst of crime in Chicago. The city inaugurated last Saturday the practice of doing without street lights to conserve the supply of coal. This action all the murderers, gunmen, footpads and burglars took as an invitation to commit crime with impunity. There has resulted an appalling series of hold-ups, robberies and murders. Bandits actually attacked a physician in his automobile in Sheridan road, one of the city's most fashionable thoroughfares. Beauclerk was right. It would seem that the fear of hanging alone keeps many men from cutting throats merely to fill their pockets.—Evening Sun.

ARE WE EQUAL TO HANDLING HUMAN PHASE OF LASOR? Phe best rains of industry must now apply themselves to human, not mechanical problems. We have led the world in invention, in industry, in railroading, in industrial arts, But we have not yet proved equal to handling the human phase of industry with’ equal success, ‘This is the istic how confronting us, Shall America prove equal to the task?

We don’t Want more government; but we must have more democracy in industry. Few existing profit-sharing plans have proved effective. Something more than mere profit sharing must be evolved.

They must be allotted a voice in the running of their establishments, at least in so far as this affects their immediate conditions—and in time they unquestionably will insist upon a voice in the general conduct of a business.—Forbes Magazine. ARKANSAS COLORED ASK TEX- AS LEADER FOR AID. Campbell, one of the foremost negro preachers in Texas and head of the St. John’s Baptist association, has been appealed to to intercede with Governor Brough of Arkansas in the interest of the negroes sentenced to death as a result of the recent riots in that State. Inasmuch as the most prominent negroes in Arkansas have made intercession with Governor Brough, and as they have not indi- cated to Campbell that he can really render any assistance, he hesitates in interfering, but should the way be pointed out to him he will be very glad to do everything that lies in his power. He feels that the negroes were misled and that they are vie- tims, but that he can do anything he can not see, Pay Policem n oe The jury in its report recommends the enlargement of the police de- partment, its improvement by retir- ing “‘superannuated and ineapaci- tated” members on pension, to give room for younger men, and more pay for policemen. ‘A permanent “homicide squa dis" also urged. In commenting on the report Coro- ner Hoffman said: “I consider it an intelligent and sane review of a se- rious problem, “The colored man is here to stay. Mis labor is needed in Chicago, We must not have any more race riots. _ “I believe the sensible people of both races can solve the problem by climinating the most dangerous fac- tors, “One thing the:jury report seeks ‘o impress upon the people of Chi- cago is that it is their duty to re- main in their homes when riots cccur. “Iam going to suggest that each patrol wagon be outfitted with a camera, to be used in taking pictures of the crowds at riots.” Riots Work of Hoodlums ‘The jury in its summary brands the riots as “‘the pastime of hood- lume, from whose ranks come the ‘automobile thieves, the automobile bandits, and the footpads.” “The fact that a majority of the vietims of both races were robbed lone warrants the conclusion,” it is pointed out No criticism of any department of the city or state government is contained in the report.

INDIAN SERVICE MEN ARE)“, ,, PRAISED. _ No 0 WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—High tribute to the courage and zeal of Indian service employes during in- fluenza epidemies amon the tribes is paid by the board of Indian com- missioners in its annual report, made public today. In some cases, the re- port said, the action of these em- ploys amounted to heroism and the devoted work of the corps undoubt- edly kept down the death toll among the government’s wards, “Indian service doctors, superin tendents, teachers, matrons, clerks and nurses and reservation employes ‘were out in the field night and day, caring for the sick and burying the dead,” the report said. “Nobwith- standing the heroie work of the medi- ea} staff and the l6w rate of mor- tality. among the Indinns, the epi- demic emphasized the fact that the medical division is in nowise ade- quate.” During 1918 and 1919 there were 6,000 deaths from influenza among the tribes, the rate being 9 per cent of the cases. The board again -urgently asked legislation to -bring Indians under marriage laws. They cin no longer be regarded a4 remote from civilized centers and theit ‘tfal customs con- doned, it is said, ag in frontier days. SLOVENLY SPEECH. { (From The Indianapolis Star.) It needs no cloger observation to realize that th® evgty-day speech of the average Americun is extremely careless and slovenly, so much so, in- deed, us to offeridagger of » real de- ae terioration of the language. It may be qrumatically correct, but — the chances are that it includes slang or recently coined words for which there is no use, since better ones with the came meaning already existed. Or if neither form nor vocabulary is open to criticism, enunciation is apt to be careless, A surprising number of eduented people are encountered who enunciate so imperfectly that it is not easy to follow them. They slur or they mumble or clip the ends from their words. As for children, their propensity for adopting the language of play. mates out of illiterate families is amazing. All parents who have trained their youngsters in the nice. tios of speech have noted with dis tress the readiness with which they add to their vocabularies suck phrases as “I seen,” “there ain't none," “Teyver see ut?” “I gotta go,’ ete. No one wants either children o1 ‘their elders to use stilted speech, o ‘to “talk like a book,” as people say ‘but there is a happy medium be tween the prevailing vernacular and stiff end formal language which al might adopt to advantage. We should respect the language of ow count) enough to keep it in it purity, but such preservation will re ‘quire watchfulness of ourselves, per haps, as well as of others.

The great desire was to be liberated, to feel the ecstatic joy of freedom and full manhood. The desire was in part realized when the manacles and shackles of the human chattel were broken and he stepped afresh upon the fertile soil of America, breathing the invigorating air of the New World. The new man having realized the great desire, forthwith began the tragic grapple with the stern realities of individual race existence. It was not very long after the emancipation of the quondam slave when it was brought forcibly to his understanding that emancipation and the eradication of its attendant cruelties did not entirely satisfy the desire of the New Men in the great task of advancing to the status of the other great groups. During the flight of years that followed, the desire to be free from stigma and prejudice, the desire to be full citizens of republican countries still burned in the heart of the Freeman. The desire remained a pure mental conception. It was never put into practical feasible methods for immediate or future actuality. The Freed Man was gradually pushed back into an unsavory condition. Shackles, manacles and fetters were again placed on the unfortunate. These fetters were in the form of disfranchisement clauses, discriminatory legislation, partial and prejudicial justice, inhuman treatment. Terror-instilling agencies, arbitrary dividing lines and every form of maltreatment that could be gleaned from the infernal brain of his Satanic Majesty. Hope falteed, the light wanes wretchedly and sparsely guided the stumbling feet of the outcast, when out of the night came a greater desire, a fuller vision, a more brilliant perspective. The great desire seized the hearts of black men to demand recognition, to trample down the insidious and pernicious deviltry, to break down the barriers and destroy the omnipresent Nemesis. The original wish that the folk melodies disclose was the simple desire to be free. The great desire overleaps bare freedom and stretches into great endeavor and high achievement. The original desire had no plan to make it real and substantial. The GREAT DESIRE has the fundamental constructive methods that energy will make true and unmistakable. The plan through which the great desire will be realized is through the progressive and constructive evolution of Negro business. The unfettered but downtrodden race has been shaken with tremendous momentum from its lethargy and apathy. He was shown the value of economic strength in the great world conflict, when Germany's army stood but her economic resources failed. The great desire will be realized by a great union of dollars. A great campaign for sacrificial support of all race business. A great medium will be created for the exchange of all necessary commodities at fair value to all. Great banks will be launched on solid business ethics. Trust companies will be formed by sagacious, scrapulous and competent individuals. The wealth of the race will be corralled within the confines of Colored districts. The Race will be in position to become an economic factor in this wonderful economic ERA. The desire is present. Behold the means are here. Alas, the spirit is here; we wait with bated breath for the realization of the vaunted ideal. THE CHICAGO WHIP The Awakening of the Negro Church. The hope of the Colored American in the last few years has been fluctuating like a thermometer. When The World War broke out he rallied to the colors. He was intoxicated over the change of the World's heart. His desire for the "New Freedom" caused his hopes to rise like the swelling tides of the Atlantic. Insidious Anti-Negro propaganda was carried by the American soldiers to France. It was sanctioned by the War Department. Most of the so-called leading negroes sold out for personal favors or were knocked out by fear. They took a half man's stand. The carnivorous tribes of Lynchland were thus encouraged. They lynched and burned black Americans at will. No pen can ever describe their fiendish primitive butchery. Because the eyes of honest men were never permitted a glimpse. The Ricts came. Thanks to the good aim of the new Negro, and the high sense of justice encouched in the breasts of a few white men (The Special Grand Jury in particular) they have ceased. All of these unwarranted, accumulated evils chilled the heart of the New Negro. He begun to think with his head instead of his heart. His first conclusion was "I cannot snatch justice out of space. I cannot get justice thru idle wishes or fancy dreams. I must fight. I must, if I should win get out of the rut. I must take the offensive. I must wage an incessant war upon the dishonest ignorant unscrupulous Uncle Toms of my own race. I must decapitate every individual, undermine every institution, combat every condition that hinders my campaign for justice, liberty and equality." The Negro Church is the greatest institution among us. It has the bulk of brain, brawn and money. Will it subscribe to these principles? Some of the radicals without asking any questions assumed that it would not. Therefore it must be undermined. They say it teaches pacific doctrines. It is a culture media for complacency, lethargy and apathy. It is not a friend to labor. The Whip is proud to be called radical. It does not attempt to defend the Negro Church. It needs no defense. Like all human institutions it has fallible elements. We do however disagree with our radical comrades in regard to the church of today. It has awakened. It is encouraging race business. It is preaching race consciousness and solidartiy. It is teaching self-reliance. It is emphasizing the values of intellectual organization. The Negro Church of today is not neglecting the spiritual sidee of life but putting more emphasis on the economic and material side. The Negro Church of today is a militant church. We, the new crowd have more to gain by showing our appreciation for its support than by making indiscriminate attacks. WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL From Memphis Commercial Appeal GOOD WORK. The Industrial Welfare Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, of which Mr. George R. James is president, is attempting to put into force splendid programme looking toward the stabilization of our labor supply. Their work goes squarely into the question of negro labor and negro citizenship. As the statement well says, negro labor is one of the best assets of this community. In past years the negro in the Memphis territory has not been content. In the city of Memphis there has been a better feeling of contentment and security among the negroes than in other parts of the territory. If we are to have the negro always with us and if he is to be a factor in the industrial and commercial life of this community he must be made content. He must feel that he is going to get a square deal. He must be protected from the harassments of poll tax grabbing, road tax costs, unfair garnishments and other wrongs lone to him through the instrumentalities of legal papers. He must be protected from the loan shark and, more, he must be protected from that class of white men who inveigle him into vice and then make a money profit from his excesses. The men who are giving attention to these matters have a well defined programme. They are hard headed, clear thinking southerners and they know what they are thinking about. They want to make it so that there will be places of decent recreation for negroes. They want to make it so that there will be homes for the old and destitute negroes. There must be a place for the decent rearing of negro orphans. Many negro men and women are trying to achieve certain useful ends for their own people. Their work for various reasons is handicapped. It must be co-ordinated and correlated. If the negroes want to build an asylum they must not try to build two orphan asylums at the same time. If the negroes start out to build a community house there must not be an effort for two community houses and, therefore, a failure of both. The appeal made by Mr. James and his associates, printed in The Commercial Appeal last Monday, has merit in every word and every suggestion. The Commercial Appeal HELTH HINTS. SOCIAL EVILS OF GONORRHEA Dr. H. A. Massey. The State of Wisconsin was the first of the four states to pass Eugenic Laws for the regulation and prevention of individuals; infected with venereal diseases from marrying. The Laws require that every person who applies for a marriage license to be examined by a physician, this applies particularly to the male because gonorrhea in the male has become the great social scourge to the individual, family, and community, thus it should be stamped out. For the male transmits his gonorrhea to the woman. The statistics of American Social Hygiene Association show that 90 per cent of all inflammations of the bladder, ovaries and pus-tubes found in married woman, and liberties are due to the gleet found in husbands, and sweethearts, being careless, ignorant, unscrupulous in the protections of the health of their women. Gleet or "morning drop" is a purulent discharge due to a latent case of gonorrhea that is present after the discharge has ceased. How often do we see the newly married woman after a few months or years, hoping for a happy life and hopeful marriage; a sufferer and confiding in her friends wanting to know the cause of her illness, for "As a girl I was so strong and well, but since my marriage my health has become impaired." Now what is the trouble? Her generative organs have become gradually involved, to her surprise the general health, suffering, all function of the body impaired and the woman drags along having to pay for it by invalidity, due indirectly, and is hastened by the slightest exertion, error in diet, or work. It is alarming the great number of young women that are confined for months even years to their beds. Invalids with a shattered hope of motherhood and continue a life of misery and not knowing her ills until she is told by the family physician that she has pus-tubes, and an operation is the only hope for a cure which deprives her of her diseased organs and renders her sterile. The wife an invalid or sterile whilst the husband goes about unconscious of his guilt and unaware of the fact that he is still contagious, owing to the Why You Buy The Whip--- Because it’s the champion of the right of the new negro.

Verchere says "Those who suffer thus are not only prostitutes and ladies of easy virtues, who run the risks of trade, but many a married woman, who are absolutely straight and faithful and have nothing to reproach themselves for except a mistake in the choice of their husbands Yes, the husband has gleet which is quite prevalent among men, due to a latent case of gonorrhea because he does not know, often because he does not care and deems it only a mere or slight discharge, due to, as, termed by so many as: "Sowing his wild oats and such an infection must be or should be, to prove his manhood. How many sufferers are victimized by this common expression and do not realize until too late, he is an invalid with gonorrhea rheumatism or one of the many complications. He will go to a drug store and so many unscrupulous druggist will sell him one of the 1001 drug nostrums with no result, but a temporary relief, to appear again after a fatigue, sexual excesses, drinking bout (where large quantities of wine and beer) renders the soil again favorable and the gonococci active. The question is asked what is the direct cause of pus-tubes, the answer is gonorrhea—only caused by direct contact or indirectly by the use of towels, instruments and other articles. There can be no question that uncured gonorrhea is one of the most frequent causes of a declining birth rate, that cripples an endless number of men and renders legions of women sterile. To-day the world is trying to increase its population, especiallyi ts man power, everywhere in France, England and every country where the grim reaper of warfare has hewn with its mighty scythe, the human cry goes out to save and Protect childhood, Protect the Mother of tomorrow. While we have no eugenic in laws in Illinois to regulate and prevent the spread of this social scourge, we can personally see that the law of force, will do equally its part in eradicating its causes. (To be continued.) IDLE TALK When a man leaves the latchstring out he usually forgets to call the bulldog in. The children usually regard father as a smart man in many respects. But they often wonder why he didn't have sense enough to start a candy store. A female who writes pieces for the paper informs us that a kiss should not last longer than five seconds. Huh! If she was married she would know that a kiss does not last a second. When you are lending money, never lend it to the man who says he will pay it back tomorrow or you will discover that there ain't no such animal as tomorrow. Most of the trouble in this life is started by boobs who monkey with the other fellow's buzz saw. The ordinary man who gets in bad with a woman is a degenerate. But the high brow who gets in bad with a women is merely a disciple of old man Plato. You never saw a man wearing a pair of black eyes because he minded his own business and kept his mouth closed. Since prohibition hit us every day is the longest day in the year to a lot of men. At that, a man would rather have his wife pick his pockets than have her pick his neckties. Some married men act like they were hitched up because they would just as soon be sued for divorce as for breach of promise. Any old-fashioned man can tell you that it doesn't make the grub taste any better to call supper dinner. THE WHIP'S LEGAL COLUMN. J. D. BIBB, Editor DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "CAPITAL STOCK", "CAPITAL" AND "STOCK". The terms "Capital Stock", "Capital" and "Stock" have been used interchangeably. This is wrong. The three terms have each a separate meaning. "Capital Stock" signifies the amount subscribed and paid in or secured to be paid in by the shareholders of a corporation. It is the fund with which the corporation is to conduct its operations. The amount of the capital stock is fixed by the charter or statute by or under which the corporation is created, or by the articles or certificate association or incorporation, and always remains the same, unless it is increased or reduced by or under legislative authority, however, much the assets or capital of the corporation may be increased by accumulation of profits or enhancement in the value of the property, or reduced by losses or decrease of values. To illustrate: the A. B. C. Chemical Company is organized. To carry on their operations, i. e. installation of machinery acquisition of aught to purchase under certain conditions, etc. they need say $100,000.00, $100,000 in a word is their working basis. The corporation is granted its charter with this $100,000 as their capital stock. Now it is the business of the promoters of the A. B. C. Chemical Company to actually realize this capital stock, so far it is only a myth. They do this either by personal subscription or by the sale of shares. Now when they have sold $100,000 worth of shares, or realized their capital stock, they set this aside as a permanent fund upon which to conduct their business. It is incumbent upon their business. It is incumbent upon the corporation to keep intact this capital stock. Any profits or what dividends the corporation may pay represents the total earnings of the corporation over and above the capital stock. This, if, in 1912 the expenditures of the A. B. C. Chemical company total $25,000 and the amount of their sales is only $27,000, the company would replace the capital stock before declaring a dividend of $2,000. The capital stock remains the same unless expressly changed through legislative authority. "Capital" means teh actual property of the corporation. In the hypothetical case we have assumed, it would mean the factory of the A. B. C. Chemical Co. with the machinery etc., and perhaps land in South America from which it would get its potash. The capital may increase or decrease in contradistinction to the unwarying capital stock. The factor may be enlarged, this increasing its value, the fields in South America may rise in value. "Stock" means the shares of capital stock in the hands of the individual share holders. "Stock" properly speaking is intangible. It represents the holders' right to share in the activities of the corporation, in its policies, in its profits according to the amount of capital stock his "stock" represents. "Stock" to make it plainer, is merely the receipt the corporation gives those who have contributed to the formation of the capital stocks. If one man owns a majority of stock, that man controls the policy of the corporation, and if he has, say $70\%$ of the stock, realizes $70\%$ of its surplus profits on a division and ultimately on a dissolution and of the assets remaining after payment of its debts. (a) Shares of stock are incorporeal personal property. (b) They are not chattels, although in some jurisdictions they are held to be written in the words "goods" wares, or merchandises "in the statute of frauds." (c) They are in the nature of choses in action nor are they "credits", "money", "securities" or "securities for money". (d) The husbands rights in shares of stock owned by his wife are the same as in "The case of choses in action". (e) Being intangible, shares of stock, like choses in action, are not subject to execution, nor are they subject to attachment or garnishment, unless made so, as they now are in many jurisdictions, by statutory provision. Their sites for this purpose is the residence of the corporation, and not elsewhere. IRISH TO TRY "COME BACK" STUFF. Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 13.—Frank (Irish) Scott, manager of the ancient base ball phenoms, the Union Giants is considering seriously a return to the base ball game.

Hayes, store paper, lot and killed an unknown negro last night after the burglar had entered his store at Hayes station. According to Mr. Hayes his store had been robbed on an average of at least once a week for some time and he had determined to put an end to the depredations. So he had been keeping a watch and when the negro broke in last night was ready. He fired twice, once with a pistol and once with a shotgun, and the black was killed instantly. DRAWS COLOR LINE R. R.
