Vol. 2.—No. 11 MUR Man Goes Cra of Two Son Slashes Wife's Th Turns Weap William Parker, who lives at 5211 South Wabash Avenue, cut, is wife's throat with a razor at 3:30 Thursday morning. After murdering his wife, Parker calmly attempted to sever his own jugular vein. His wife, who has been a faithful companion for over 35 years, now lies dead in the undertaker's establishment, and the murderer, who is not expected to live, is confined in the County Hospital. Grief Deranges Murderer. Parker, who is the father of two heroes, Sergeant George and Corporal Walter Parker, both of whom were killed in the Chateau Thierry drive is mentally unbalanced. It is said that Parker was wrapped up in the soldier boys and that their untimely death has preyed upon his mind, causing temporary derangement. Mrs. Parker, the slain woman One Killed; Another Shot By Man Who Promised To Sell Liquor. Birmingham, Ala., March 9th.—An unknown white man bargained to sell two colored men several quarts of whisky at eleven o'clock Monday evening at a certain place on Vanderbilt Road. The two colored men, one Mr. William Hill and the name of the other was not ascertained, had an agreement with the white man to meet him which they kept. The place of meeting was however, at a very dark section of the road and before the colored men could get their bearing a masked man appeared an ordered the men to hold up their hands. They did not comply with the demands to 'hold up' and several shots were fired after which the highwayman turned and ran into the woods. Hill took to his heals without waiting to see the fate of his partner. One of the shots hit him in the shoulder. From fright and loss of blood, Hill was so weak when he reached the city he was unable for several hours to give definite information of what had occurred. Detectives Jones, Brower, McGill and Patton made search throughout the neighborhood where the robbery occurred but could not find no trace of the white man or the other colored man. It is feared the colored man may have also been shot and crawled off and died, a more thorough search is being conducted to find the colored man. Little hope is held out for the rest of the white men as Mr. Hill can give no definite description and did not have his name. Republicans and democrats are making out a very good case against each other as to who killed the peace treaty, but the conviction still persists it died of old age.

Misses Emma, Josephine and Agnes Parker are daughters of the insane man. It is said that the lawyers for Parker will make a vigorous attempt to have him committed to the Dunning Asylum if he survives from the terrible self-inflicted wounds. The family is grief stricken and deplore the dreadful tragedy. Funeral services will be held at the family church of the deceased at 4 P. M. Sunday afternoon. The Whip office was favored. To a visit this week from Everett E. Robbins who has been employed in Milwaukee some 10 months as the pianist of that city's leading orchestra. His many Chicago friends who will remember him as a musical scholar with no mean ability having won several musical honors, here some time in the past. He is a very bright young man and no doubt the musical world of the future will hear more about him.

The orchestra repertoire plays some three thousand different dance numbers and standard classics. Wealthy Farmer Kills Sweetheart. Washington, Ga., March 3.—Will Bradford, the colored man who shot and killed Rosa Harmon, a colored woman, living on the plantation of Austin H. Barnett, eight miles west of the city, has given himself up, and is now lodged in the Wilkes, county jail, awaiting trial. The prisoner is one of the most prosperous colored men in his section, owning a farm that is said to be worth $15,000. Jealousy seems to have been the cause of the crime. Roland Hayes Sails for Africa. Roland Hayes Sails for Africa. Roland Hayes, the race's greatest tenor, gave a recital at Aeolian Hall on March 11th. The Hall was packed and as this is Mr. Haye's last appearance before going to Africa to study the origin of Negro music. He will give recitals in England and France. Police Arrest White Girl Married To Mexican. Dodge City, Kans., March 8.—Francis Winiger, claiming she was married in Denver, Colo., to a Mexican known as 'Little Mexico' was arrested today by officers, upon the report that there were several white girls living with Mexicans in the Mexican quarters. The white woman says she is legally married and says, "I don't care if he has a brown sin, he has a white heart." She is, however, being held, until her statement that she is married has been proven. It seems indeed strange that man continues to make and tries to enforce laws contrary to the laws of nature. Such laws will always be broken. The law of 'opposite attraction' was in existence before man was sufficiently intelligent to conceive of a law. It is as old as the laws of gravitation. Man can never change it, he might as well attempt to make laws contradicting the force of gravitation he would succeed about as well. Southern Mehodists Gives $60,000 for Negro Education Southern Mehodists Gives $60,000 for Negro Education Augusta, Georgia, March 10. — Special to the Chicago Whip. — The great Methodist Episcopal Church, South, realizing that the only solution to the present race problem is through the influence of christian education, has laid out a program in connection with the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church which his destined to do much towards ameliorating the racial relationship. In the great Methodist Centenary Movement fifty-three million dollars were raised and the schools and colleges of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church were generously provided for in the program of the white Methodists for Negro uplift. The Methodist Centenary Fund provides that $600,000 be apportioned in five annual payments for C. M. E. Schools and Colleges, Paine College, Augusta, Ga., is to receive $350,000 in five annual payments for endowment and equipment.

Texas College, Tyler, Texas, $50,000. Claim Gunmen Ran New York Election. Claim Gunmen Ran New York Election. Socialist Says His aPrty Cheated Out of Many Votes. ALBANY, N. Y. Feb. 27. An "expose" of election frauds in New York city last fall when "gunmen" hired by Republicans and Democrats were pictured as touring from polling place to polling place cheating socialists of their votes, featured the closing tonight of the defense in the trial before the assembly judiciary committee of the five suspended socialist assemblymen charged with disloyalty. was guilty of admittedly "overt statements" in a speech which the prosecution in grilling cross examination sought to show by microscopic analysis breathed sedition. Following this cross examination, James O' Neil, associate editor of the New York Call was sworn to identify a report by him concerning the third (Moscow) internationale alleged to have been submitted at the socialist convention last year. The party later pledged support of this internationale, which is claimed by committee counsel to call for worldwide revolution. Then, after the session had extended into the evening., adjournment was taken until next Wednesday. Prosecution and defense are expected to complete their summing up by the following Friday and submit briefs within five days. The committee probably will take a week in preparing its report for submittance to the lower house. Colored Youth Named for West Point. Congressman Dyer has recommended Richard Jackson, a graduate of Summer High School for West Point Military School. Jackson is only 15 years, of age and has made a very creditable record at Summer High and friends have used every influence possible to get the recommendation People will recall that it was Congressman Dyer who introduced a bill that would make lynching a federal offense. Man Pays Penalty For Killing and Robbing. Washington, Tenn. March 8. James Henry Jackson, who more than a year ago in Brownsville, attempted to rob a house in which a white woman was boarding and killed her, was hanged on Tuesday. Lillian Hood was asleep at the time of the robbery but woke up as Jackson was leaving and gave alarm. Jackson tried to force her to keep quiet and in the struggle she was killed, after which he dragged her into the back yard and ran off. The due process law was followed in the conviction and execution of death penalty. I've seen the Beautiful, so clear— It has gone to the heart of me— And there'll be magic ever near To me, remembering Tennessee. Louisville Sends Colored Delegate to Convention. Louisville, Ky., March 8.—Dr. S. H. George, colored Doctor of Paducah, Ky., has been choosen as delegate to the National Republican Convention in Chicago with Gov. Morrow, A. T. Hert of Louisville, and Mrs. John Glover of South Frankfort. Alternate delegates from the state at large were: H. Green Garrett, Einchester, Dr. Ben. L. Bruner of Louisville, Mrs. John W. Langley, Pikeville and Dr. Geo. F. David, colored, of Lexington. It was voted that all the delegates should go uninstructed! The above notation gives evidence of awakening, and makes us secretly say to ourselves there is still some hope. Cook County Bar Association Has Installation and Banquet. On Friday evening at eight o'clock in the Gold Room of the Royal Gardens, The Cook County Bar Association had installation of officers, followed by a banquet. The honored guests of the evening were Judge Joseph B. David of the Superior Court and Judge Bernard P. Barassa of the Municipal Court. Atty. Jerry M. Brumfield, Asst. City Att'y introduced Judge David. Many recall that it was Judge David who stood up in The American Bar Association and registered protest against the resolution introduced in that Law body which required all applicants to send their photographs with application. That measure being intended for the purpose of keeping out colored men. Judge David stated that he appreciated the feelings of the colored people as he was a member of a persecuted race also. He stated that prejudice was a heritage of American children. He emphatically stood for fair play for all and that his advice was that if the colored people wanted all of their privileges that they should bend every energy in the fight for them. He urged the Cook County Bar Association to let the world know that body would fight unstintingly for these right by legal procedure. His attitude in court has proven his fairness on the bench and through him riot victim of our group will receive damages. Atty. Benjamin Pollard introduced Judge Barassa. Judge Barassa stated that he was always for the "under dog" and his record during the riot bears out this statement. He complimented the Cook County Bar Ass'n for their activities during the riot. It was due to Judge Barassa that the scotch was put in the Sadler Law and thus the police were not able to go into the homes of the colored people in search of arms. Cook County Bar Association was founded seven years ago by Atty. Richard E. Westbrooks, who recently made such a splendid showing as an independent candidate for alderman in the last election. Matthew Woll of the A. F. of L. says that "to deport the reds and coddle the profiteers will not bring us to a state of domestic tranquility." Maybe we shall yet see an "ark" full of profiteers setting out for Hog Island. THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR. SARAH RECTOR RICHEST GIRL IN THE WORLD FOR 3 HOURS Sarah Rector of Muskogee, Okla. became 18 years old on March 3rd and was in full control of her own affairs, which was estate valued at over $1,500,000, for a period of three hours. A petition recently filed by her mother, Rose Rector, to have her declared incompetent and have a guardian appointed to protect her estate has been dismissed, since Miss Rector voluntarily executed a deed of trust after she had been in full possession for the short space of three hours. It was feared she might be kidnapped or killed or in some way robbed of her vast wealth she retained M. G. Young, banker who was vo guardian, and T. J. Porter former guardian, before she came into her in Cold Blood in Mississippi. Nettleton, Miss., March 8. After declaring that he would get all 6 the colored brakemen off the Frisco System or kill them off, Fred Lewis, white, proceeded to carry out his threat by deliberately shooting in cold blood James Henderson, colored, on Train No. 682. Not satisfied with the mere taking of a human life Lewis in true Southern Barbaric style proceeded to beat the brains out of the unfortunate Henderson with a clut. Lewis attempted to provoke an argument with Henderson but the colored man refused to enter into any altercation. This fact seemed to infuriate Lewis who proceeded to maul the colored man with his fists, reviling him all the time. Lewis then drew his revolver and shot the colored brakeman, emptying all the chambers of his revolver. Feeling is running high and many white persons are incensed at the wanton killing of an innocent man who had given no provocation or who had offered no resistance. Up to the present time Lewis is at large. Dr. Emmett Scott Speaks Before Industrial Conference. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary; Treasurer of Howard University spoke in behalf of the colored man before the Industrial Conference in Washington last week. He presented the claim of the colored worker and afterwards leading questions from members of the conference caused a general discussion of the whole race question. The tenor of this discussion was friendly and had for its purpose the bringing to light the many phases of what has been made an apparently difficult and intricate problem. LEPROSY CURE REPORTED BY BRAZIL SCIENTIST. Milan, March 8. — A special cablegram to the Il Tempo from Rio de Janeiro relates the discovery of a cure for leprosy, by which a number of patients in the large leper asylum at Locondua, near Polem, Brazil, have been completely healed. This discovery is the result of research by Dr. Charmont deMiranda, a noted dermatologist of Belen City. PRICE FIVE CENTS ICIDE 500,000 Miss Rolls In s Wealth. majority, as trustees. Both are under bond for the sum of $500,000.00 each. Miss Rector is quite good looking and above the average in intelligence she is fond of study and athletics and in all ways is a very natural young woman. She has done and will continue to have much to say about her own affairs. And it is generally understood the recent appointment of trustees is principally a matter of protection. Her father was an Indian and the discovery of oil in his land, near Muskogee, which until that time was worthless, has brought the great wealth to her. While the estate is valued at something over $1,500,000.00 her wealth is almost incomprehensible because several wells have not been put into operation yet. Major Adam E. Patterson, recently of the Judge Advocate Genearl's Department, has reestablished his law offices at 129 East 31st Street in the old Avenue Hotel Building. It will be remembered that lawyer Patterson was the only member of our race to receive the distinction of being commissioned with the rank of Major in the legal department of the United States Army in France. We already knew that Mr. Patterson had a national reputation both as a good lawyer and as a race man hence we were certain that he would make a record for himself as a soldier. In an interview iwth the Major a few days ago with reference to the outcome of the trial of the fourteen Camp Grant soldiers, Mr. Patterson said that of the six men acquitted two had been sentenced to hang by the former trial court and that the eight convicted would sooner or later be released or he would go to the United States Supreme Court. A visit to Major Patterson's office convinced us that the old Avenue building on 31st and Indiana Ave., in which some of our most prominent professional men are located is a very popular corner. Colored Men Organize To Secure Race Representation In Congress. The National Negro Congressional Campaign Committee has been organized in New York City with Mr. Robert T. Waring as Chairman. The purpose of the organization is to see that colored men are elected to Congress. Literature of this organization has already gone out to all parts of the country in the first attempt to get colored people in the various parts of the country ready for their next effort. FROM THE LIBERATOR. A California soldier has been notified three times by the war department of his death in France, yet he persists in being sceptical. People do not have the implicit faith in the government that they used to have. The question arises, is this excessive woodishness due to a scarcity of coal or merely a scarcity of presidential timber? OPEN SATURDAYS FROM 9 A. M. TO 8 P. M.

Superior Quality Extraordinary Bargains THE Washington Store 3440 South State Street Yancey Mills to Appeal Case ON CIRCUMSTANCIAL EVIDENCE William Yancey Mills was convicted and sentenced to die for the murder of Isadore Gansky tailor at 178 W. Van Buren Street, and Anthony Brizzolam; fruit dealer, 334 South Wells Street, on Sunday October 12th. Both victims had been slain with a lead pipe and robbed. A coat was stolen from the tailor and $330 taken from the other man. The loosing of a cap lead to the arrest of Mills, who was found in the east recently. The conviction was solely on circumstantial evidence. The jury deliberated on the case about one hour before returning a verdict. A world wide search has been made for the slayer and much attention has been attracted to the case due to the brutality of the crime. First Choice Medicine Co. AND SONS LONDON OFFICE The Los Angeles Office There is, however, much doubt in the minds of some of the officials as to the guilt of Mills and his case will in all probability be taken to another court. Mills did not confess as was reported and on the contrary denies he is guilty. When arrested it was reported he had been spending money freely. His finger prints are said to be similar to those found around the handle of the lead pipe.

The slogan is: Colored young man and young woman, old man and old woman, and indermmediate; while business is good, save a few pennies, establish a business of some kind, begin buying a home, educate yourself, learn a trade—either of the above mentioned things is a good economical investment. We take it as a duty, to advise parents to be more careful and more strict, in the disciplining of their children. Colored children and young coolred men, are very inefficient, careless, utrust-worthy and unreliable—mostly so, we believe, for lack of training, lack of example and lack of teaching. It is very true that water can only rise to its level, but there are many parents who know, but are too lazy, indifferent or apathetic to give their children systematic daily training and council.

Who do you hink I am Solomon?" Well, I came down with thoughtful citizen. He had a new hunch. The world is against him. You should have heard his new line of stuff. He is the most wonderful "hammer-thrower" you ever met, and our acquaintance is large with "hammer-throwers." He would take his hammer, get a strangle hold on it and proceed to knock. He is the most finished artist we ever worked with. He had the speed of a hydraulic hammer. We asked why he had not tried for the hammer throwing record. This went over his head. He said he had not gone in for athletics. We gave him our address and asked him to call sometimes and we would throw away the hammer and buy a horn. Signs of the Times.

Harvey Woodruff in THE WAKE OF THE NEWS, Chicago Tribune, speaking of Spring says: SPRING. No more the Buck Beer bucketh, His plaintive voice is still. No more the barkeep chucketh The coin into his till. No more the barfly sucketh The suds into his bill. No more the gaudy scutcheon Of bury bearded goat. In accents dry and touchin' Deejoys the parching throat. And bids it drink to springtime Until its tonsils float. No more the signs waylay us As we go home from toil. Albough our thirst is chaos And hurts us like a boil. O what a squeaky prospect! A spring without the oil. P. G. S. Gid Gleason, who was coach of Chicago White Sox in 1917, who won a pennant for Comiskey, for which Clarence Rowland received credit, who refused to join the team under any condition in 1918 in which year Clarence Rowland succeeded in finishing in sixth place with the best club in baseball. In 12 years as the owner of the baseball club, he has never finished worst than third place. This is enough for Comiskey. In 1919 Kid Gleason was given management of he Club. He won the championship of his league, running away, which clearly proves his value to Comiskey, Rowland or the ball leub. Chick Gandel, who is in my estimation the best man on ground ball or a low thrown ball in the game today, threatens to quit. Chick is the unlucky possessor of a bad leg which gets thrown out on the slightest provocation. He has made the White Sox infield look like a stone wall by his ability to grab anything thrown in the general direction of first base. We earnestly hope for the sake of the Kid's Machine that Gandel will return. Comiskey has gone to California on a visit and will do unless see Gandel while there. It is an even money proposition that he will return. Charlie Risberg, who played the shor tfield last year has youth and one of the best whips in baseball. He has the nerve to attempt a seemingly impossible play, the nerve to make an error and smile. He has also decided that he will remain on the coast. If the Kid can get over this, and I think he can, he is indeed a "Miracle 5728 So. State St., Cor. 57th Place Cabaret and Dancing Man." Soil he get a seasoned pitcher and have any luck in developing one or more of his young pitchers, the White Sox under his magnetic leadership will be in the running for he Kid is a grand old man. Muggsy McGraw, manager of New York Giants is known as a generous man. His offer of Pep Young in exchange for Koff and Roush, the best hitter in the League looks like offering a skuttle of Ashes for a skuttle of coal. Our girls ho persist in discussing their life secrets over the phone can again rest easy as an inventor has discovered a patent that the lady on the second flat cannot get the message, as it is scrambled as it goes over the wire.

Johnson Whips Stigall Before Mammoth Crowd. Wheeling, W. Va., March 5.—The largest crowd that ever witnessed a boxing conest in this city, turned out at Marckt Auditorium last Monday night and saw Leo Johnson outpoint Arthur Stigall in ten fast exciting rounds. Before the bout both boxers were confident of victory, but Johnson, who local scribes say, is the cleverest boy that ever laced on a pair of gloves in this city, although outweighed by fully seven pounds, clearly outpointed Stigall in four rounds, while the best Stigall could do was to take two. The hall was checked with the people in the rear literally climbing on ten shoulders of tose in front of them. Many were unable to gain access. The battle was fast throughout the entire ten rounds, Johnson showing himself as a wonderful boxer, while Stigall displayed an aggressive spirit which kept the fans well satisfied. On the evening's milling Johnson landed cleaner punches and when necessary showed a defense the like of which has never before been seen in this city. There was little doubt about the condition of the two glove experts, when they were ready for the gong. Referee Ritz announced that Stigall had waived his forfeit omney and would not weigh in at the specified time. His weight probably would have been about 143 pounds. Johnson tipped the scales at 136 at 8 o'clock in the evening. Stigall was troubled from the fifth round on by an old cut which was opened by a harda right swing Johnson landed in this session. It bled profusely and both battlers were somewhat covered with the "elaret" during the remainder of the sight. Johnson pulled some Joe Stecher tricks in the second and fourth rounds. In number two he seemed to trip Stigall and toppled him over to land with his full weight on top of him. Again in the fourth he threw Stigall clear across the ring, the Cumberland lad almost going through, the ropes into the crowd. Throughout the fight there was "rough ouse" work pulled by both boxers. Four of the ten sessions were even, four went to Johnson, while Stigall earned a shade in the fourth and seventh. The seventh was the Maryland lads best round, when he cut loose with everything he had, right and left hooks, uppercuts, overhanders and a dozen or more oth- er tricks which he carries in his repertoire, in an effort to land on some vital soot. However, the New York boy presented a swell defense and Lil Arthur found it hard to do any damage. Next to the main go, the six rounder between Johnny Gallagher, of Wheeling and Bobby Binnix, of Cumberland, a sparing partner of Stigall's, featured the evening's card. Gallagher had four rounds to his credit, while the other two were even sessions. Binnix was a good boxer, that the local lad carried. bu lacked the steam in his punches Hampton Defeats Lincoln 32 to 24. By Charles H. Wiliams. Hampton, Va. — Hampton defeated Lincoln in Philadelphia on Friday night, February 27, before one of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds of basketball fans that ever gathered in Music Fund Hall. It was truly a college night, and supporters of both teams were out in full force. Philadelphia is known as a "Lincoln City", ubt Firday night was a "Hampton night." Not only did the Hampton team out-play Lincoln, but the Hampton alumni and supporters out-cang and out-yelled the Lincolnites. Inspired by the yelling and songs, the Hampton team played its best game of this season. Not since the championship days of 1915 and 1916 has the Hampton team exhibited such fighting spirit. Lincoln started the scoring, but their joy was shortlived. Hampton soon overtook the lead, by scoring several baskets in short succession. The game was a thriller. It was more closely contested than the score indicates. The spectacular playing on obth sides brought the great crowd to its feet time after time. In fact, the first half brought one sensation after another. Freeman an Wright in guard, McLaren in forward for Hampton, and Wheatland in center for Lincoln were easily the stars of the game. The hampton guards both guarded and shot exceptionally well, while McLaren was everywhere apparently at the right time. The basketball lovers of Philadelphia were given a rare treat and a very great surprise by the playing of the Hampton "farmers". The game was free from unsportsman-like conduct. A real college spirit prevailed throughout. The line-up was as follows: Hampton—Bradby and McLaren, forwards; Maxton, center; Freeman and Wright, guards. Lincoln—Goldwire and Amos, forwards; Wheatland, center; Haskell and Franklin, guards. Referee—Little, University of Pennsylvania. Score—Hampton, 32; Lincoln, 24. Sam Langford Knocks Out Gahee in The Second Round. Four times Battling Gahee, the idol of the local black fistic flock, crouched at the feet of Sam Langford, the veteran Boston black ring warrior, as if appealing for pity. He arose but his appeals were in vain. The right-handed glove, propelled by the long, black, *sinewy arm of the veteran*, reached Gahee's jaw. Down went the home idol and down he stayed. Billy Haack tolled off the count of ten, endeavoring at the time to persuade Gahee to rise. It was near the end of the second round and finis to a scheduled 8-round match last night at the Southern Athletic Club. The knockout of Gahee was the climax to a series of hurry-up knockouts at the Winchester Avenue glove shop last night. In a scheduled 6-round affair Eugene Martinelli stowed away Young Kimberly, another local welterweight, in 55 seconds. In a come-back of two former favorites here, the Mexican Kid knocked out Willie Mitchell, another negro lightweight, in 54 seconds.— ORTS By " What You Have Been A Golden Opportunity JESSE BINGA, 36th St. and 35th Soon to Become THE BINGA STA One Dollar Makes You We Solicit Your Check INCORPORAT J.

Suite 23-25 Douglas 5350 Mitchell was floored three times before he took the count. Gahee toppled from his pedestal and the idol crashed into pieces beyond mending. More through fear of what Langford might do than what Sam had already done caused Gahee to acknowledge defeat. But for Gahee's visible fear of Langford it might have borne at least some resemblance of a contest. Early in the first round Gahee staggered Langford with a right flush to the jaw. Instead of instilling a fear into Langford it seemed to have frightened Gahee. The remainder of the round found the fat and flabby Sam waddling around the ring trying to get in touching distance of Gahee. Langford ran Gahee down in the early part of the second round, and coming out of a clinch Gahee went down from a short right to the face. Hardly had he gained his feet when Langford feinted and Gahee went down again. A few seconds later Gahee was on the floor at Langford's feet as the result of taking a tap on the head. Gahee arose and showing a sudden inclination to fight sent a hard right to Sam's face. Sam shook, but to the surprise of the audience Gahee went to his knees. Gahee arose and started retreating but Langford caught him and at close range sent in a short right. Gahee went to the floor and coiled into a knot and peacefully reposed while Haack did the counting. Sam Langford, though he has served 18 years' service at the ring game, is still useful as a fighter. This is the opinion despite the little opposition he encountered in Gabee last night. Although carrying considerable superfluous weight Sam is still able to shift about on his feet and is equipped with a punch that is to be respected. Martinelli literally fought Kimberly off his feet. With the sound of the opening gong Martinelli rushed his opponent and did not whaleing until Kimberly lay limp on the floor. Mitchell was helpless before the onslaught of the Mexican Kid. The Kid, who has not been seen here in several years, appears to have lost little of his speed and punching power.— A battle royal opened the show, which was witnessed by an overflowing house. Every available seating space and standing room was occupied. Several youngsters viewed the show from positions in the rafters. Jesse Binga Robert S. Abbot U. V. Daily Phone Boulevard 6921 3832 S.

On last Monday evening at Pittman's Barbershop on 35th Street, the barbershop owners of the south side met to organize for the purpose of having an organization which would foster the interests of the colored barbers of the south side. The question of prices was considered and many other features of interest to the trade. Most of the owners, or at least 20 barbers were present and plans were made for making the organization permanent. A meeting is planned for next Tuesday night. All were decided on the new schedule of prices and this card will no doubt greet patrons when they enter the shops this week. Mr. Dell Mathews was the Acting Secretary of the meeting which was the largest meeting ever held by barbers in the city of Chicago. The Woman Depositor.

Startling Disclosures in Chambliss Case Prying, prejudiced, white civic organizations with the aid of prejudiced, uninformed white press have managed to create a great excitement over the case of one Bertha Wiebeck. Headlines and meetings have tended to put the poor 22 young (?) white girl in the light of an abused mistreated victim of a colored officer of the law. Newspaper statements accredited to the girl, (?), have made the case out against Chambliss before he even has been brought to trial. Police officials have taken steps in the case against their fellow officer which will possibly later also have great publicity, but in the colored press and have a bare line in the white paeps. Facts have been brought to light by operatives of the Keystone National Detective Agency of this City which tend without question to disprove many of the wild and exciting statements made in the white press of the city. This is certain, (1), Bertha Wiebeck was 22 years old according to her own statement made in her own handwriting when signing up for work at the International Harvester Company, (2) That she was discharged by Mrs. Shernoff of 3613 Wabash Avenue for misconduct while employed there as a maid under the name of May Woods, (3), that she had received medical treatment for social decease from Dr. Burnett, aplying for this treatment under the name of May Murphy, using Murphy as a name presumably because she was at 3158 Waash Ave., and Crip Murphy was supposedly her husband, (4) that the police did not arrest the persons keeping the house at 3158 Wabash Avenue where she was found or at 2729 South Dearborn Street where she also lived, but went to 352, State Street and arrested the woman who had put her out because of conduct unbecoming, (5), that one month had passed after she left the Ross house before Chambliss saw her. It is no wonder that State's Attorney Hoyne feels as though he has no case, but Baul Duffy of the Cottage Grove Avenue Statlon is still trying to fasten "something" on Chambliss. Hearing of the case is set for March 17th but the indications are that this case will not come to trial, yet it remains that Officer Chambliss has been given all of the unpleasant notoriety and will never be given the proper vindication if the charges are withdrawn. Even Governor Alel nof Kansas will hardly take the trouble to make a statement in behalf of Chambliss, yet many will recall that he came all the way from Kansas to help get justice for the poor innocent girl (?) from Pawnee Rock, Kansas. Keen Observer. New Business Launched in California New Business Effort Launched By Colored Men of the Pacific Coast. Los Angeles, March 8th.—History reveals the decree that only the race or Nation shall survive—who in the times of peril—finds its solution in the strength—the loyalty and determination of its people. This is indeed the true measuring rod of a race's worth. Now comes the Pacific Coast Industrial Federation launching its services and influences in the West, like the voluminous Sun that transplants its rays upon the great Rocky Mountains—hails this new endeavor to do for the people, what they cannot do for themselves. It is truly a new field of endeavor. Each month finds the fascinating climate of the great West luring hundreds of Negroes to our doors. Coming as strangers without locations or shelter and starting life that would taek 20 years by experience to bring them to the point of our aggressive residence. This Federation can save them, time—money and worry. Their experience and integrity combined with their modern method of doing things makes locating in strange territories a pleasure as well as profitable. This is one line of endeavor that has always been sadly needed in the great cosmopolitan cities that lure our people on. Locating of lost ones, promoting new enterprises serving as apraisers, testing soils forf armers, acting as administrator, guardian or executor or receiving consignments, locating proffessional and business men, acting as interpreters, placing on homes farms in businesses and etc., are some of the things which the Federation does. ELGIN MOTOR COMPANY WARNS STOCKHOLDERS OF "GET RICH QUICK BROKERS". THE MOTOR CO. During the recent freight car embargo shipments were made from the Elgin factory "as usual", but not in the usual way. The Company having more orders than they could fill, sent their mechanics into the factory and drove the cars away across country, so that their customers were not disappointed in spring deliveries. This is one way in which the automobile business has the advantage over many other lines, inasmuch as they are independent of freight embargoes and can travel way under their own power. The Elgin Motor Car Company, Manufacturers of the famous "Elgin Six" automobile warns all stockholders not to be fleeced out of their stock by scheming brokers who are trying to get rich quick at the expense of an honest and unsuspecting public. Elgin Motors Pays Dividends. This Company has just declared dividends to its stock-holders. The men who are at the head of this company are well known in high financial circles. The best proof that stock in this company is a good investment aside from the fact that dividends have already been declared, is that orders have been placed for more cars than they will be able to produce in the coming year, notwithstanding the fact "they never sleep." Day and night shifts are kept busy trying to supply the demand for this efficient and popular car. For particulars, write the Elgin Motor Car Company, Majestic Building, Chicago, Illinois. (Advt.) Barbers Agree to Raise Prices. Barbers Agree to Raise Prices. Owing to the increased cost of labor, barber supplies and rent, South side barbers find it necessary to increase the prices for service in order to remain open. All of the larger and more prominent barbershops with a few exceptions have signed an agreement to make the new prices effective March 10th. The new price list will show an increase of about five cents on former prices. This announcement is made by Mr. Graves Elias Washington after consulting most of the barbers of the South Side. Patrons are requested to receive this announcement with consideration in as much as barbers are not immune from the high cost of living. Advt. Editor Abbott and Wife Take Much Needed Trip. Editor Abbott and Wife left via California for a short rest trip and visit to Honolulu. Mr. Abbott's many activities and general interest in all matters of racial interest have left him no time to rest during the past many months of Chicago's crucial history. He is much in need of a rest just now and we join every one in wishing him a pleasant and beneficial trip. LUKE M'LUKE SAYS Even if a woman doesn't get married until she is 35 it is more than likely that she will often throw up to her husband the fact that she was robbed of her girl-hood. You would think that a woman would get married and settle down, after she had divorced four husbands. But she won't. Another good bet is that it isn't intellectual growth that makes a man's head get too big for his hat. An anti-everything official may not have enough ability to run a $10-a-week business. But that doesn't prevent him from trying to run your business and tell you where to get off. Why is it that it is always the woman who can't wear pink who insists on wearing it? Why do not the baldheaded men try the complexion lotions used by the women? They never fail to produce a downy growth of hair. A lot of men would rather be the moon than be the sun. They figure that they would see a heap more. The only opportunity some fellows seek is one that will enable them to get by without having to work. Our idea of a charmer is a telephone girl whose voice is so sweet that she makes you love her when she says: "Biz-zee! Biz-zee!" the fourth time you try to get your number. Why does a woman seem to consider it necessary to wad her hair into a baseball and look as homely as possible in order to be a good housekeeper? Another damli: Once upon a time a man who held a political job worked so hard that he died of overwork. DRIVE AWAY FROM ELGIN FACTORY. Elgin Motors Pays Dividends.

James Terry Uses Knife on James Thomas When They Battle at Scott. Little Rock, Ark.—James Thomas was painfully cut late yesterday afternoon by James Terry, during an alteration at Scott, about 14 miles southeast of Little Rock. Thomas was brought to the City hospital and was operated on last night. His condition is not considered serious, although complications may set in. Terry also was brought here and is being held at police headquarters. Terry said he did not intend to cut Thomas, but when Thomas struck him on his head with a soda water bottle, he said he "touched his side" with a pocketknife. The blade penetrated Thomas' abdomen. A COLORED TOWN One of the towns constructed by the United States Housing Corporation was intended for the colored war workers at the Hampton Roads Naval Base. This is Truxton, near Portsmouth, Va. It is described in the February issue of the Southern Workman in an article which emphasizes the admirable effect which a decent environment has had on the home life of a usually much neglected class of workers. Under the management of a colored real-estate man, Fred D. McCracken, assisted by four committees is a democratically elected town council, a model administration has been introduced. The council has no written laws, but "every question is discussed from the point of view as to whether or not a recommendation, act or social habit is in harmony with, or opposed to, the spirit of Truxton." Tenants have been expelled for abuse of property, misuse of the home and dishonesty. The judgment of the council in such delicate matters as these has been generally approved. A community club of the younger men is planning the establishment of a community service club. A negro workers' Advisory Committee, under the auspices of the Department of Labor, entirely composed of residents, keeps in touch with new residents. A recent inspection of homes, carried out without previous warning showed that all the houses were neatly furpished* and clean. Structurally, this little town does not belong to the most attractive examples of government war housing. Yet, the individual homes are conveniently planned, and arrangements are under discussion for permitting their purchase on easy terms by occupants who pay from $16 to $18 per month in rent. Large employers of Negroes from different parts of the country who are anxious to reduce their labor turnover have expressed themselves as well satisfied with the results of this experiment, which have been to stabilize labor and to make for higher physical and moral standards. — The Survey, Feb. 28, 1920.

They are striving, agonizing and praying to break the bondage of wage slavery and political corruption. This paper has stated that the great mass of our people could not advance and become wonderful and great unless their leaders were men of courage, character and ability. The city of Chicago is the "garden spot" of America for colored people. Great flocks of them are coming north in order to get a breadth of freedom and liberty. It is well known how the colored man is lynched, robbed and Jim Crowed in the South. When he comes North he expects to find "the way, the truth and the light" of a world worth living in. These people look to the city officials, the guardians of the law and to their own leaders and representatives for protection and information concerning the methods of good citizenship and right living. Since Chicago has become the great city of colored people and the Mecca of race progress, it is deplorable to observe how the city administration has exploited them and it is heartbreaking and nerve-racking to behold the sinister and underhand methods that the spineless "leaders" use to obtain personal power and the filthy blood-dyed money from the poor black through the night of fifty-five years for some leaders who would be too noble to feast on the ignorance and emotionalism of the great mass of black folk. We have waited and the years have rolled on into the archives of eternity. We may continue to watch and to wait until this material globe will be shaken to pieces, but the leaders will not come unless the great mass of people show a need and a desire for them. Now is the time. These real leaders will come where they are most needed. That place is Chicago. They are needed now to save this race from the disgrace that threatens and the impending crisis hangs over our heads. Glancing into the scheme of city politics, which is the most vile and corrupt in America, it is easy to see how the colored "leaders" are eating the vitals of their down-trodden, mis-informed brother. It is easy to see how the poor laboring man is robbed of his natural God-given rights. Observation and thinking will disclose a tangle of crooked leadership which disgraces the ideals of liberty and freedom. Our first exhibit, which we will call Exhibit "A", is offered to prove how the race is being robbed and how ignorance and emotionalism are being capitalized. This paper is independent and is not subsidized by sinister political affiliations. The Money Machine may fight on to break down the principles of right and justice. The Money Machine may "put over" the machine made Edward H. Wright, who has also been politically wise enough to avoid all issues that concerned the poor working colored amn. This is Exhibit "A".

The Universal Profit Sharing Stores at 39th Street and Vincennes ave. is a living, active witness of the soundness of this theory. By Lieut. J. E. Hawkins Isaac Pond, 6259 Loomis Blvd., has been in Chicago, fifty three years, and during that time he has been one of Chicago's most active citizens. He is a retired member of the Chicago Police Department, drawing a pension for life. He is one of the first apointees and is the oldest livnig police officer of the race. When interviewed at his boulevard home he gave the following story. "I was born in Vincennes, Indiana, and came to Chicago fifty three years ago; my father was born in Lebonon, Warren County, Ohio, he was a pioneer of Ohio, and active in the operation of the "Underground railroad". My father was a farmer and fairly prosperous but devoted all of his spare time to the cause of abolition and gave me a training which I later put to good effect in bringing former slaves over the road to freedom. I have in my possession the bell that was rung to announce the selling of a slave on the Cook County Court House steps. I think that it was about 1859—a colored man. I just cannot recall his name—was unable to show his free papers or to convince the authorities that he was not a fugitive. At that date it was customary to pick up all colored people that could not show papers and sell them at auction. On this occasion the colored amn was brought by Mr. Honory, the father-n-law of Mr. Potter Palmer, the owner of the famous Palmer House. The bell was one that was taenk from a teamster that was areredst with a number of companions. The teamsters were in the government service and hauled a load of army supplies from Cincinnati, Ohio. When the teamsters were called to trial and asd if they had anything with which they could pay their fins when one of them produced the bell, this was accepted and the men awere released. The bell had been used on the pole horse of the government team. When the sheriff made ready to announce the sale of the negro fugitive the bell was found and pressed into service announcing the auction, later, in after years it came into my possession; I prize this bell high and oftimes I am called upon by old settlers to tell the story of the selling of the last slave in Chicago. I was not an appointee of the Chicago Police Department but served as a police officer in the Town of Englewood which was annexed to Chi- --- Article IX cago in 1890, I with others was transferred to the rolls of the Chicago department. I served at the Detective Bureau, old "Harrison Street Station", and many other of the precinct stations. I always performed the duties assigned to me to the best of my ability and never was called before the trial board. Englewood, was a thriving little city of about 15000 inhabitants made up of a well to do class; it was then located between 55th Street, south to about 72nd Street, and State Street, wes to Halsed Street. It had several hotels, bans, department stores, and various manufactories. The largest hotel was the Hotel Julian, located at 63rd Street, and Hardvard Ave., this hotel also had a theatre in connection which was called the "Marlowe", the Hotel and theatre were named afetr Juliana Marlowe, a celebrated actress and tragedienne of that day; this hotel is still standing and is considered to be one of the best in the city, at the time of its building it was called the best hotel and theatre in the west. The district west of Halsted street, did not commence to build up until after the Worlds Fais of 1893, and the spot where I lived was out among a number of small farms, the largest of these farming tracts was owned by Hetty Green, the escentric owner of millions. A number of years ago she sold the tract to the City of Chicago, and it has been built into what is now nkown as Gage Park. The colored people that lived in this part of the city were home owners and many of the old families are still here. I have been married twice and have six children, three by my first wife and three by my second—2 boys and four girls. The oldest boy is a machinist working for an automobile concern in Detroit, Michigan, he also served with the 370th Infantry during the Worlds War and retired with the rank of sergeant; the younger boy works for Swift and Company at the Union Stock Yards. When I came to Englewood we had no colored churches but now we have three and more building, and several colored men own large flat apartment buildings. We never go down town unless we have to do some buying as we have a fine local community and we are considered to be a bit clanish. You cannot blame us for the last part as we have good homes, good schools, good neighbors, and good pure air. The author notes that Mr. Rond's home is located on the northeast corner of the boulevard—is of the bungalow type, and has a large front lawn about fifty feet from house to front walk and at time of visit in the process of remodeling which when completed will be one of the finest owned by a colored person in the city. Politicians or People? Senator Harding of Ohio, who is himself a candidate for the Republican nomination for President, insists that "The World has made a mistake in declaring that it would support an independent," because "parties are necessary in this country" and "the people should stick to their political organizations." It is true that parties are necessary in this country, but they must be honest parties that stand for honest issues; otherwise they are a menace to the political stability of the Nation. The Senator from Ohio is quite mistaken when he says that "the people should stick to their political organizations." It is the duty of the political organizations to stick to the people. It is because the organizations have failed miserably in this duty that voters everywhere are demanding a new deal. The party organizations to-day are merely patronage brokers, as Sen. Harding well knows. Left to themselves, there is not a principle to divide between them. Except for the brains and character of President Wilson, there is nothing left of the Democratic Party except the name. Except for the money of the great business interests that have so long sustained it, there is nothing left of the Republican Party except a name and an appetite. The Tribune sadly and sorrowfully tells us that is not true to say that there is no difference between the parties. "It may not be easy to catalogue the differences, but there is a profound consciousness of them." In other words, while the Tribune is quite sure that there are differences it cannot tell what they are. Nor can anybody else. The real truth as the Tribune well knows, is that there is not a solitary "We Can Do Little Alo LIBE INSURA NOW BEING O STOCK is being sold for $2 Two shares, $10.00 down, have, the stronger the com- number of INCORPORATED under Legal Reserve Life Insuran PERSONNEL O Never before has an investme- more substantial and reliable body those whose names appear below a PROVISIONAL D "We Can Do Little Alone--With Your Help We Can Do Anything!"

Name principle of government on which the Republican and Democratic Parties are as yet prepared to divide. In the mean time the professional politicians of both organizations are engaged in gilding the familiar gold brick that they have used on so many other occassions when public opinion was uninformed, wavering and uncertain. All the favorite sons are being brought out, and after the National Convention has cast the requisite number of complimentary votes a little handful of bosses will pick the "compromise" candidate. Then the country can take its choice between the kind of Republican that the Republican politicians want and the kind of Democrat that the Democratic politicians want. The successful party organization will proceed to govern in its own way, and the people will continue to pay taxes for the support of the government that has been stacked against them. The World believes that the country is tired of this fake and fraudulent partisanship, and that it is ready either for a new party or for a party that honestly represents something. There is only one real issue before the country today—whether the people or the professional politicians are to name the next President of the United States.
