PITTSBURGH, March 25. — The story of a remarkable surgical operation was told in the Criminal Court to-day by Dr. J. F. Berg of St. John's Hospital in the trial of John Hoza, accused of attempting to kill Steve Belonik in a fight last April 9. Dr. Berg exhibited X-ray plates which provided a startling record of Belonik's case. He testified that Belonik had received a stab wound in the back, which had cut the left ventricle of the heart. "I opened the chest, removing several ribs, and sewed the heart up, putting six stitches in it", said the surgeon. "The man was out of danger on April 21". The photographs showed the heart and the sutured incision. BUSINESS MEN IDENTIFY NEGRO; FORGERY IS CHARGED. Natchitoches, March, 25.—Malcom Gosey, a young colored man, was lodged in jail today and charged with forgery. Three business men of this town have identified him as the man for whom they cashed forged checks, signed W. W. Wilson. A check for $17.50 was cashed by Jake Lieber, merchant. R. T. Jones cashed two checks, each for $17.50, and B. Ackel one for $10.25. Gosey was arrested at Cypress. Ed.

Assailant Flees As soon as Miss Casey realized what she had done, she hurriedly put on her wraps and forced the Chine-man to open the rear door out of which she disappeared, escaping the police who were hot on her trail. It was learned that the two women were very good friends and that they were insanely jealous of each other. Detectives Capture Notorious Pickpocket. Officers Scott and Middleton, who for years have by their vigilance made a creditable record for themselves, the Police Department and the Community, are still living up to their past reputation. Their latest achievements was the capture of Julius Dalton, who hailed from Louisville, Ky., where he had stolen several thousands dollars worth of Diamonds. Dalton also had a record fod being a Picknocket. COLORED MAN HEAD OF HALF MILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION BOSTON, Mass., March 13th. — A colored inventor of this city has perfected a hot water heating device device which can be attached to the kitchen range. A company, capitalized a $500,000.00 has been formed and will manufacture this novel and necessary invention. NEW YORK TENNANTS STORM LEGISLATURE. Protest Against High Rent: Special to the Whip-March 24— That the people of New York City are determined to keep up their fight against profiteering landlords is evidenced by the chartering of a special train in which a thousand tennants went to Albany, the State Capital, and demanded legislative action to immune them from further extortion. Bill Introduced. Senator Lockwood of Brooklyn, drew a bill in compliance with their demands. It will be introduced to morrow. There is not the slightest doubt as to its passage as public sentiment is entirely with the people Cab Driver Uses Gun on South Sider. Accuses Victim of Hold.up. Police Play Wounded Man with Fists and Clubs. Samuel Moore, colored man, was shot three times by a Yellow Taxi Cab driver, one George Vivian. Vivian claimed that Moore jumped upon his running board and stuck a gun in his face, but before he could shoot, the driver pulled his own gun and poured a rain of shots into the black man's breast. Police Follow Blood Trail. POLICE FLOW BOTH TRAIN. Detective Sgt. Magnam and Sgt. MeCarthy seeing the blood trail of the wounded colored man followed in its wake and located Moore in a back yard near 3233 Forest Avenue. Moore not knowing whether foe or friend approached attempted to protect himself. He was badly beaten up by the gallant policemen. Fighats At Hospital Moore was taken to the Bridewell Hospital in a weakened condition from loss of blood, but being a brave man and an ex-soldier, he attempted to fight one of the orderlies who tried abusive treatment. It is said that Moore is a hold-up man and a bandit. Moore, however, tells a different story. That the Yellow Taxi-Cab driver attempted to charge him a higher rate than the meter recorded. Because he refused to pay, the driver shot him without warning. The detectives, touring the South Side, heard the shots, but have only the statements of the driver and his victim as to the cause. Moore Will Recover The doctors state that Moore will recover and will defend the charges that have been preferred against him. He states that he has never robbed a taxicab or anyone else and wishes justice to take its course. Legal talent from the race plan to stand by the colored man till the mystery can be cleared up. NEW YORK NEGRO SEN TENCED FOR PINCH- ING WHITE GIRL. New York, March 25.—For pinching pretty Pauline Hall, age 20 years, of 216 West Seventy-first street, while in the subway, Jesse Young, colored elevator operator, was sentenced by Magistrate Simpson to six months in the workhouse. The defendant admitted he had previously been found guilty of a similar offense. "I am sorry", said the magistrate, "that this is all the law provides for your crime. In another state you would be punished more severely". The train was crowded, and at Seventy-second street the young woman warned the colored man. When he pinched her a third time, Miss Hall seized the man and held him until a special policeman arrived. Obvious. "If that' bouillon I'm an idiot." "That's right, sir. It is buillon." — Tyrihans (Christiania). Owning Twenty Acres, for Which She Paid Ten Dollars Per Ache, Is Considered Very Wealthy. SHREVEPORT, La., March 20, 1920—Dame Fortune has smiled again, and this time upon an old colored woman who for years has been leading a precarious existence in the Red River bottoms of Louisiana, is the fortunate beneficiary. On her small, 20-acre farm, Mrs. Zephine Young has lived and acquired for herself considerable respect among her neighborhood, on account of the many and diverse ways in which she utilized her farm in her life's struggle. Nearly two years ago her daughter married and, desiring to aid her, she decided to dispose of one-half of her land. Although a few hundred dollars would have satisfied her at that time, Mrs. Young could find no buyers. Since then the Texas Oil Corporation obtained a lease, drilled and brought in a great oil gusher on her farm. Presto, change! From the royalties to be paid her, Mrs. Young has become a millionaire—one of the richest colored women in America. She is now able to build a most sumptuous residence for herself anywhere and to stock her garage with limousines. But she is wise headed in the midst of her suddenly gotten wealth and is saving her money. The future alone can reveal whether she shall turn her back on the magnolia and cape jasmine scented surroundings of her Red River farm and seek a new home in the smoke-infested atmosphere of Chicago or New York. NEGRO WOMAN DELEGATE IN KY. G. O. P. CONVENTION. Mrs. Annie Banks Represents 7th Congressional District and Delivers An Address. LA GRANGE, Ky., March 25. Although Kentucky women will not get full suffrage this year, but will vote in the Presidential election, colored women have already entered politics. This is the first time in the history of the South when Negro women have taken any apparent interest in politics. When the Seventh Congressional District Republican delegates met here preparatory to the State convention, among them was Annie Simms Banks, of Winchester, Ky., one of the delegation from Clark county, who not only took part in the proceedings, but was appointed a member of the rules committee, and as such helped to prepare the report submitted to the State convention last night. She was referred to whenever it became necessary as "the lady from Clark", and was accorded as much courtesy as any other delegate. When the resolutions committee reported Mrs. Banks gave a short talk, which was heard with much interest. She said: "We are just beginning to open our eyes in politics, but before long we are going to make ourselves felt, and you can depend on Annie Simms Banks, of Winchester, to do her part for the grand old party". Willard Challenges Black Man To Fight Special to WHIP. Lawrence, Kans.—Jess Willard "Ex-champion Heaby Weight" pugilist, who was shamefully and disgracefully defeated by Jack Dempsey last July wants to fight again. Willard, although he weighs almost 300 lbs. wants to fight a colored policeman weighing 147 pounds in Lawrence, Kans. Cursed Colored Cop. On Tuesday Willard was riding down Wheeling Road at 60 mile clip in his "Hupmobile". Fred Logan the colored cop and heroic life saver of the district whirled on his motorcycle past the "Pugilist" Willard and commanded him to haunt. Willard was slow about obeying, when Logan started firing his revolver and the "yellow" in Willard stood out. He reluctantly halted and as some other cars drove up began a tirade of abuse and cursing on the 'cop' "I can lick any — — N-r in the land", said Willard. Logan laughed and sarcastically replied: "You could not lick molasses, you big stiff. Why don't you fight Langferd, Tate, or Wills. Willard Challenges. "I will fight you," said Willard. Logan, who is a small man, cried out and hops down: "I will knock you out with 2 rounds (of bullets)." Jess became groggy and muttered to himself. Logan later on in the evening appeared before Judge Rim and served out a warrant for Willard's arrest and insisted on serving it himself. Wood Sentiment Growing Among Colored Voters. Politics in Chicago are bumming despite the fret that the old Crowd politicians are very evasive as to their Presidential Choice. Geo. Harding and Oscar Depreist, the old Crowd Candidates have not stated who their choice is for our next President. The more intelligent element of colored are fastly crystalizing Public sentiment for Major General Wood as the Peoples Choice for next President. Uncle Tom crowd cannot be trusted. There are only two candidates in the field in Illinois namely Gov. Lowden and General Wood. Between the two General Wood seems to be the great favorite. The people are wondering why Deprest and Harding will not be men enough to commit themselves and abide by the peoples choice. Mr. Augustus L. Williams the candidate to the National Convention of the United Political League says that he can see only one reason for this and that is they intend to put one over the people and that Old crowd will follow money and not the principles. Williams running strong. Several of the old line money seeking politicians have Thompson up one sleeve and Lowden op the other and at the same time they are trying to get some of the Wood money. This proves that they are not for party pricipes but they are "for sale". Williams is the onl y Wood delegate in the state and will win by a sweeping plurality. THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR. UARE celebrates Death Church Bells Ring Bands Play. (Sepecial to "The Whip") St. Augustine, Tex., March 24. — For the first time in six centuries a judge ordered the execution of a human being in a public square. John H. Price, a highly respected and wealthy colored farmer who was convicted on the testimony of a white gunman of killing John Kennedy, a farmer, is the first recorded victim of this crude, unjust and ancient system of punishment. Price was convicted in five minutes. The sheriff sent out a general alarm to the farmers and villagers of three adjacent counties. Three special trains were charted. At 6:30 P. M. over three thousand men, wo- Crowded Hall Cheers Warren B. Douglas Never before in a political campaign where local issues were involved was there as much enthusiasm as was shown Sunday afternoon by the people were assembled to hear the matchless orator Warren B. Douglas, Candidate for Was, Committeeman of the Second War. He was at his b and as he Ward was about to and his speech with a brilliant peroration he was forced to take his seat when the people stood up to the man in wild applause. Beyond a question of doubt the sentiment of the independent free thinking voter is for Douglas. All indications show that he will be elected by a substantial majority. The people in the ward are showing by their interest in Mr. Douglas' behalf that they will no longer support men who have done NOTHING for them but sell them out. Candidates must offer the people some constructive principles for which they will endeavor to carry out. This Mr. Douglas does as he is running on the platform of the United Political League and has the endorsement of that organization of which he is a member. One hundred thousand Jewish wolved was was shown hear the women and children, stan ready to emigrate to Palestine. Mr. Douglas is a candidate chosen by the people of the ward and not by the bosses who exploit our votes. His record in the Legislature is evidence of what he will do for his people if given a chance to serve them. The office of Ward Committeeman is a very important one. He is a member of the County Central Committee, which nominates Judges of the Superior and Circuit Courts of Cook County; formulates the policies and controls party matters within the city and county and fills party vacancies caused by death, resignation or refusal to act. So by electing Mr. Douglas we will make possible the nomination of a Negro to Congress from the 1st Congressional District and a judge on the bench of the Supérieur or Circuit Courts from the Negro race. It behooves every voter in the Ward to vote for Warren B. Douglas for Ward Committeeman of the Second Ward and be redeemed from the hands of scheming unsuperulous politicians. New York City, March 25.—According to the N. A. A. C. P. complaint has been received from an exsoldh, from one of the Southern states at he has opened a pressing shop and now finds that pressing clothes for white and colored men in the same building is forbidden. The law compells him to take out two licenses for $25 each, put up a bond for $500 and maintain 2 separate establishments. --- CANNIBALS HIRE SPECIAL TRAIN MUST KEEP CLOTHING APART. PRICE FIVE CENTS men and children had assembled in the public square to witness this gross burlesque of American jurisprudence. SEVERED BODY AS SOUVENIERS. Miss Nellie Bly or any other graphic and prolific writer opposed to capital punishment could never describe the mannerisms of this heartless congregation when the Sheriff called for butcher knives to dissect this yet warm human body in thousands of pieces, for the spectators to take home to preserve in order that they might commemorate the witnessing of this unusually fliend, primative ceremony. The sheriff, it is asserted, will be elected mayor in the Fall elections. Half Million Polish Jews Ready To Start For "Promised Land." One hundred thousand Jewish women and children, start ready to emigrate to Palestine. This is the feature of a report from Dr. Jerzy Rosenblatt, member of the Polish diet and vice-president of the town council of Lodz, received by the Houston district of the Zionist organization of America, Wednesday from its national headquarters. Dr. Rosenblatt is now in New York conferring with Zionist leaders. The great mass desire of the Polish Jews to start at once for Palestine, which has led to the converting all the properties into cash, planning various industrial undertakings or their homeland, organizing groups of "pilgrims" and even starting out on foot for Palestine, is described by Dr. Rosenblatt. To prepare Palestine to receive this mass migration, of which Poland represents only a small part, vast reconstruction projects are planned by the Zionist organization, L. A. Freed, chairman of the local Zionist district, announced. (Through the Palestine restoration fund nonsectarian campaign $10,000,000 will be raised throughout the United States this year to start the reconstruction work in the Holy land, according to Mr. Freed. The campaign to raise Houston's quota will start Sunday, when A. H. Fromenson of New York will deliver an address at the Main Street Auditorium. The meeting is open to the public and will be held at 3 p. m. Berlin Census Gives 3.801.235. Washington, March 9. — The city of Berlin with adjacent districts now includes 3,801,235 inhabitants, according to recent issues of the Berlin press, which published results of the census started October 8, 1919.

THE CHICAGO WHIP 3457 South State Street Douglas 7623 Under The Lash of The Whip Dedicated to the Mayor. How distinctly I remember,— It was only last December, When I heard George Harding say, 'What do you people want, I pray'? Dedicated to the Mayor. How distinctly I remember,— It was only last December, When I heard George Harding say, 'What do you people want, I pray'? Then my soul grew very weary— But I am now no longer leary. George Harding raised my rent you see To pay for his 'Big December Tea'. Give me lower rents or death, I heard one tennant cry— I understand George Harding's stealth, I'll vote him out or die. Give me lower rents or death, I heard one tennant cry— I understand George Harding's stealth, I'll vote him out or die. By poet "Low Rate". The Chicago Medical Society (colored) gave a banquet a few nights ago and invited John D. Robertson, white, Health Commissioner, to give the address of the evening. Robertson is the man who supported prejudice against colored physicians in the Municipal Sanitarium. Why didn't the peanut head Doctors invite Col. Blease of S. Carolina or Vardaman of Mississippi to address the association of Uncle Tom's and Jelly Fishes. Why can't our people learn how to ride on Electric cars? It is not necessary to huddle up in a bunch at the rear of the car. We have "no Jim Crow cars in Chicago. Kindly step up toward the front please!" Please! Thompson's restaurant within the shadow of the City Hall has attempted to draw the color line. May be "Bill" Thompson will stop it. He stopped the bombs in Hyde Park, that is from not exploding before being placed under colored homes. They have started already to flock on the streets and congregate on the corners. Men and women, looking for excitement and God knows what else. If the people who stand on the corners would organize and hire a hall we would have an army large enough to break up crooked politics, vice, filth and hand picked leaders. The colored representative in the State Assembly from New York's colored ward (Harlem) was among the number of those sawdust brained representatives who voted to unseat the 5 Socialists in the New York Legislature. Shame! "Judgment has flown to brutish beasts and men have lost their reason!". The President of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who fosters which he convinced me in Chicago is all right with us, but his flaring red-tie hurts our eyes. We wonder why he wears Red on Sunday. Who is that monkey man who walks up and down State Street with Red Stars sewed all over his clothes, advertising some Tailor? Goodness, we have played the monkey part too long. A few lashes on his back will do more good than those stars. Why do we need so many, Masquerade Balls here? We have been masquerading and have been burlesqued long enough. It's time to come out and declare ourselves. The crooked politicians said Mayor Thompson was going to speak at the old Pekin Theatre last Friday night. They had a big sign printed to that effect. Only 82 people came out and his Honor, the Mayor didn't show up. Can't fool the people all of the time, Bill. We see the girls buying up lots of junk for Easter coming out. Guess they will work all summer to pay for it. What have peacocks ever done anyway but strut. OPEN SATURDAYS FROM 9 A.M. Statement of Condition Lincoln State Bank of 3105 SO.

ED. GREEN'S POLITICAL MEETING. I went to Ed. Green's Political Meeting, Friday night. He had a big red sign announcing the appearance of Mayor Thompson. But the people fooled Eddie. Mayor Thompson ceased to be bait for the old crowd to further fool the working people to vote against their interests. If the people had not fooled him, he would have fooled them, because the Mayor did not show up. Oscar was there and he jumped on the WHIP as usual. That's alright I said. The WHIP man will continue to apply the lash as long as you continue to tell the white man down town you have all the black votes in your pocket. Alderman Anderson was there and furnished amusement for the handful of speakers with his misplaced words. Dick Westbrook, a former member of the United Political League made the best speech of the evening. Dick will be under the lash if he does not stop giving ideas to the old Crowd. WARREN B.

Wife of Negro Preacher Freed by Jury in First Crimminal Court. Memphis, Tenn., March 25, 1920. The jury in the case of Abbie Ribbins, charged with assault to murder, yesterday morning returned a verdict of not guilty. The verdict of the jury was greeted with a burst of applause from the large crowd of negroes which had filled the court room since the trial has been in progress. Deputy sheriffs had difficulty in stopping the exhibition of approval and the court threatened to clear the court room of spectators unless they checked the demonstration. The negress had been on trial in second criminal court on a charge of shooting at Minnie Williams, because of alleged relations between the latter and the husband of the defendant. The shooting is said to have occurred in the Giffield Baptist Church, of which J. W. Ribbins, husband of the defendant, is pastor. The trial had been in progress since Monday. producers of the food and other necessities, the Church of Chirst, headed by Bishop J. J.

He told of his experience as a fake drummer ,and how he wished to study and properly equip himself for he business.

Mr, Wickleff is ax expert “tympany” player, and also an artist on bells and Xylophones.

He carried the club to Havana, Cuba and played in the Cuban National league during the winter 1915-1916 and finished in second place in a four-club circuit.

A Big Surprise (Special To The Whip.) BALTIMORE, March, 22.—Three or the most progressive race men of this city, recently completed plans for putting a baseball club in Baltimore that will equal any in the East. Dr. J. H. Hayes, Dr. Frank H. Sykes and John H. Hayes, a well-known Drudt Hill avenue merchant, are the men responsible for the success of the deal. It will be remembered that Baltimore a few years ago, boasted of a team of world wonders, the Black Sox. It is said by the wise ones that this year's team will prove even greater. Plaas are undes way for the erection of a modern ball park, at New Mason's pork, recently bought by Colored capitalists. The Eastern cities should have the greatest season of baseball in its history, and the local fans are going to stand by their teams. The name by which the team will be known is the "fighting Buffalos," in honor of those sterling young Colored fighters who lie buried in the war-sept soil of France. The players who will compose the club are rated among the best in the country, and are as follows: Warsay Harris and Graham, St. Augustine College and Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C.; Morton Merrill, Frank Smith, known as "Midnightly" of Richmond, Va.; Jess Smith, Ronakea, Va.; Kedly, D. C.; "Lefty" Empery; Pitcher Harper, Winston Salem, N. C.; Centerfielder Peaches, Newport Newa, Va.; Frank Greenfield, catcher and Milton Beacon, D. C.; "Boots" Brown, pitcher, Annapolis Md.; "Husky" Johnson, Baltimore; George Ford, D. C. Dr. Frank Sykes who formerly star Pitcher of the Lineoln Giants, of New York, and later captain of the Hilldale team, Philadelphia. This team is open to all teams, and especially college teams of the South.

DEMPSEY IS OFFERED $350,000 BY RICKARD FOR CHAMPIONSHIP GO NEW YORK, March 25. — Tex Rickard, acting as matchmaker for the International Sporting Club of New York, has offered Jack Dempsey $350,000 to meet Georges Carpentier in a championship bout, it was learned here today from an authoritative source. The offer, it is understood, is conditional upon the passing of a boxing bill in New York and the outcome of Dempsey's trial in San Francisco. From the same source the International News Service learns the diamond-studded belt, emblematic of the world's heavy-weight championship and donated by the army, navy and civilian board of boxing control, will be presented to Dempsey when the new boxing club opens its doors for the first time. Dempsey, it is said, will be on hand to receive the belt whether or not he is to meet Carpentier at the opening show staged by the club. YOUNG GANS K. O.'S BALL (Special for The Whip.) ST.

THE CHICAGO WHIP ORTS By " Our Boys Show Spectacular Form in College Meets Crow Ex-Kaiser By "Full of Pep" Our Boys Show Spectacular Crown Prince a Boxer Form in College Meets Ex-Kaiser's Son Takes Boxing Instruc Has Your Been Raised DON'T PAY IT until at the Odd Fellows H State Street Has Your Rent Been Raised? In the annual tri-state meet held in Mechanics Hall recently between Harvard, Dartmouth and Cornell, boys of our race showed that in the rhoice events they still reign supreme. This fact was made known when the officials called out the winner of the 49-yard dash and the 16 lb. shot. The spring event was won by Shelbourne, of Dartmouth, from a fast and classy field in five seconds flt. Seribes who wintessed the performance say that he ran like an arrow, and when he broke the tape he was at least two feet in front of his nearest rival. Shelbourne then took a stroll over the pit where the shot was being thrown and with little thought heaved the iron ball over 42 feet $10^{1/2}$ inches of space, defeating Tubby Clark the Harvard football star, by 2 feet $4^{1/2}$ inches. A few nights after that the New England intercollegiate championships were held in Mechanics Hall, Boston, and on this occasion two more hads came to the front, namely, "Ink" Williams and Ned Gourdin, of Brown and Harvard, respectively. Williams ran like a demon that night in the 40-yard dash and came home a winner in the most exciting finish of the night in the final by a scant inch, beating out his own race mate, Gourdin. The latter man, after having but twenty minutes rest, came back strong and won his heat of the 300-yard run, and with less than an hour's rest again surprised the whole hall by getting a clean-out victory in the final heat of the same event. These performances made by our lads were undoubtedly the class of the evening, and, their points helped greatly in their school's total at the end of th evening. Gourdin also ran anchor on the mile relay team, representing his school, and showed up brilliantly. While these lads are spoken of, it must not be forgotten that we have a boy here in these regions who is showing up brilliantly on his school's track team, and that individual is Snooks Taylor, who is attending State College. This lad ran in Buffalo on State's medley relay team and made nothing less than a spectacular showing, while in Baltimore the following weck he ran on the same relay team, and on passin the baton to his teammate he gave the State team a good four-yard lead. Snooks also ran a very commendable hundred from the 3-yard mark placing in the finals. Those Dear Girls "Jack says there isn't another girl in town with a complexion like mine."

LaCroix, a Dutch lightweight, who for the past four months has been coming here twice a week from Amsterdam to give Wilhelm lessons. They box in a room of the parsonage where Wilhelm lives. "The former crown prince's favorite blow is an uppercut," LaCroix told an Associated Press correspondent, "and he is learning how to use it." Rainey and Motley Star in Hopkins Games BALTIMORI, Md., March 13. — Although the colored runners of the local Y. M. C. A. were barred from entering the indoor track meet held here last Saturday night, under the auspices of the Pohns Hopkins University, at the Fifth Regiment Armory, Fred Motley and Joe Rainey, two colored lads representing the Meadowbrook Club entered and gave a good account of themselves. Both men came over from Philadelphia just to compete in hts meet. In the trial 100-yard dash Rainey won his heat, while Motley took second in his heat, being beaten by Seward, of the University of Virginia. Two eastern men nosed Rainey out in the final by a scant inch. In the final heat Lourie, of Princeton University, with a handicap of 212 yards, and Taylor, of Penn, with a handicap of 3 yards, came in ahead of Rainey, who was given only one-half a yard handicap. Rainey also won his heat of the 220-yard dash, but due to a severe fall which he got on one of the turns he faed to place in the finals. "TIPLESS" 4RA IS IN SIGHT. Automate Locker with Coin in Slot Is Planned for Hotels. The tipless era is coming, it is predicted, and the hotel men are getting ready for it. The question is whether one give a dime or so to a pretty gift for checking your coat and hat at a restaurant to slipping a nickel in the slot for the same service. There may be a difference of opinioin about this. At any rate one of the interesting devices that will be shown at the hotel men's show at the Coliseum in Chicago the week of May 10 will be a machine that automatically locks up hats, coats and umbrellas, doing away with the aproned attendant and the lad armed with a clothes brush.

Do we want a politician merely—a man of compromise—or do we want a man as much like Lincoln and Roosevelt as we can get?

RACE PREJUDICE DEFEATS MILITARY TRAINING. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today published a statement asserting that the opposition in the South to universal military training was due to prejudice against the colored soldier. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People does not concern itself with universal military training as such," says the statement, "but in behalf of the colored people of the United States objection must be made to the propaganda against colored soldiers by which it was hoped to discredit the measure." "Brigadier General Sherburne and Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, have testified to the valor of Negro troops in France. Under the circumstances, the propaganda against colored soldiers must be characterized as for the most part deliberate and intentional falsification." The minister who made the following announcement seems to have been prepared for untoward results from his preaching: "There are some flowers here," he said, "for tohee who are sick at the close of his service."—Youth's Companion.

Hawkins. 5 Richard Mason Hancock. Mr, Hancock was born of free parents at Newberne, North Caro: lina, November 22, 1832.—Died June 3rd, 1899. At an early age he wa: sent to a private school in his native town, the public schools not being open to the colored children as the laws of the state were opopsed to the education of negro children. Here he mastered the rudiments of a common school course, and when thirteen years old began as a car. penter apprentice under his father. He worked nine years at the bench, by that time having gained a thor- ough knowledge of the trade, and having attained his majority he left North Carolina and went to New Haven, Connecticut. He found em- ployment at his trade with Messrs, Atwater, Treat, Doolittle & Co, as a joiner, this beigg¢ his speciality. He finally drifted to Lockport. New York, where he followed ship carpentry for two years, building ca- nal boats, after which he entered the employ of the Holly Manufactur- ing Company, with whom he remain- ed four years. While with them he learned pattern-making, a branch of the trade which requires first of all a complete mastery of carpenter- ing, besides an acquaintance with higher mathematic \ knowledge of draughting and tk onstant excer- cise of the very udgment. For four years he stuc ad yorked to make himself prot. id at the end of that period . Wibterea all the theory and’ much of the practical details of that branch of 4% trade. He came to Chicago in 1862, and shortly after obtained employment sche shape of the Eagle Works Manufacturing Company, whosk_pre- sident, Mr. P. W. Gates, x a true and tried friend of the nro, when all the law and nearly all the public sentiment of the !and was in favor of keeping him in slavery. At that time this company operated the larg- est machinery and boiler shop in the West. + After working as a journeyman for two years, he was promoted to the foremanship of the pattern dept. and had under his direction four- teen white men. To serve under a negro foreman, was too much for their Northern blood, so they struck: For three days Mr. Hancock was “monarch of all he surveyed.” But the prospect was not a pleasing one, for the shop was crowded with or- ders and there was more work to get out than he could perform un- aided. Fearing that its’ delayed ex- ecution might injure him with his employer, he went before the presi- dent and tendered his resignation. After hearing him thru Mr. Gates said: “Oh go back to work. It will THE WEEK’S BEST EDITORIAL The Chicago Journal, March 16. 1920 One of the many advantages which the negro enjoys in the north as com- pared with the south is the better chance for an education, A great deal has been said con- cerning the backward condition of the schools of the whole country, but no distinction has been made between those of the different races. In the northern states practically no dis- tinctions exist in the courses of study and quality of instruetion given white and black, or in the length of the school year. Yet on the whole negro children fare the poorest of all in this vital interest throughout the U, 8. In the strictly southem states where segregation of the races is practised, the expenditure for each white child is $10.32 per annum, while for each colored child there is $2.98. Fifty per cent of the colored teachers in the public schools in the south have an education less than that given in six elementary grades. Most of these teachers are paid an average of but $22.48 a month for a school year lasting only four months. ‘As to higher education, the fig- ures are even more unpleasant.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC 5 SERVICE. e WITH THE COMING OF SPRING ‘the equinoxial storms have passed, King Winter has re- turned to his mysterious realm of exile. The breath of her majesty, the Queen of Springtime, permeates the atmosphere of divine creation. The scythe-like hands of time point to a new season in human activities. In the wake of spring we perceive great disorder, wicked- ness in humanity and general unrest shaking the handiwork and mental craft of mankind. The wonderful dream of uni- versal peace has proven itself a spectral nightmare. The “fan- ciful and fanatic theory” of a league of nations has been re- duced to its lowest terms by the United States Senate and its value was found to be infinitesimally small and absolutely un- suited to the obvious jealousy, to the selfishness and envy of great nations who would join in a league and would be found in @ peace net. In the wake of springtime, the prattling ideal of Woodrow Wilson has been hopelessly shattered. Closely following the defeat of the “peace treaty” and the league of nations, a representative of the country of democracy and liberty has been found guilty of political vil- lany. Senator Newberry of Michigan has been convicted of using fraudulent methods to secure public votes. A stench in Congressional climes has been raised that destroys the soft perfumery of floral profusion which comes in the wake of "tion of the white and colored Taces| yy 99 gat, ’ in mir itneat- ws na as! evie ‘ced by revolts attended with terrific loss of life. ‘Sscialism 4=4| Bolshevism are not making peaceful adjustment with tocracy, or “20th Century Democracy.” The Spring brings ae rejuvenation of smoldering ashes and pent up fires in human hearts. In Germany there is great unrest. Ireland and Egypt both are renewing their energies to unloose the yoke of tyranical England. The great De Valera is again ing™% country with the vigor of springtime courage to begin his tight for Irish freedom. The Negroes in the United States, the West Indies and neighboring countries are cementing themselves into a solid phalanx to battle the despicable curse of Caucasian hatred. The spirit of the NEW NEGRO receives fuller conviction and firmer courage from the magic elixirs of spring. With new hope and new daring, the fearless spirit of the NEW NEGRO launches itself against the evils of color predjudice and eco- nomic slavery with the coming of spring. The best in al! nations and peoples is inspired by the full sun of a new scason and the tragic memories of dark and stormy winters. PROPERTY AND FILE One of the most patent discrepancies and fallacies of Anglo-American law is that a higher premium is placed upon real estate and upon personal property than upon human life and suffering. i From “time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary,” a trespasser upon one’s land was liable in damages regardless of lack of negligence or the pursuance of due care. A man’s white soul could not save him. With or without fault he must pay for his act of trespass upon another’s land. Com- mon carriers, like railroads, are absolutely responsible for loss of goods entrusted to them. Hotels and inns are likewise responsible for goods over which they assumed possession. The law has always reverenced and protected property. Strangely, without delving into causation, no such laws apply to life and injury of person. If an individual steps upon your foot accidentally no action lies. If he steps upon your land accidentally, you may recover damages. If an individual is injured in a railroad wreck or a hotel fire, the injured, party must prove that the railroad or the hotel was negligent and that this negligence was the proximate cause of the injury. This is diametrically different to the case of injury to property. We respect our laws and it is our desire to have them specifically and strictly enforced until the legislature sees fit to change them by statute. The law has been stated. Property is more religiously protected and preserved than life. Property in Chicago has been subjected to ruthless treatment. Bombs have destroyed frontal ornaments. Tenants have been put in hysterics and now certain individuals declare that the law is a joke and colored people must move out. There is a current rumor that rioting and bloodshed must again come to Chicago and that both sides are making the proper preparations. We have no desire to live thru another nightmare of blood lust. We would rather have universal brotherhood and peace. as all come right im a hundred years.” He obeyed. er _pattern-maker: to fill the places ofsthe strikers were soon obtained, ten years sub- sequent servie@/ with the same firm showed that les na century could make things “ight While with the Eagle Works Co., he was scam in teaching two young colored men trades—Mr. Bev. erly Meeks a8 g machinist, and Mr. John Sonam pattem-maker. The former is in the employ of the C. & N. Wy Railroad Company at their shops im Detroit, while the latter is a suegeasful contractor in Denver, Colorado: He also used his influence to ire work for other colored men in the foundry and other departments of the works, In 1873 the firm for which he worked went oft of business, and a new firm, composed of his former superintendents; Messrs. Frazer and Chalmers, started the Liberty Iron Works in the city. They showed their confidence in his ability by immedi- ately placing him at the head of their pattern shops, their business soon reached large proportions requiring the service of hundreds of skilled employees, thirty of whom worked under Mr. Haneoek in the pattern department. This firm made a spe- cialty of manufacturing intricate mi- ning machinery, and in the course of a year gets oug an almost infinite variety of indigeribable work, for most of which new patterns have to be mode, AN MMMCGe tant con. form strictly to the drawings in every particular. he show the im- portance of the pésition held by Mr. Hancock in the lafgest establishment of its kind in ntry. He was with this firm £¢ ine years, command) 1 and held in high esteem and his fel- low workmen. Under his employ was his son George who'was also regarded as an efficient Wofkman, In private life Mr. Hancock was & public-spirited and progressive ei- tizen; « member of several societies, and 4 Mason of high degree; a vest- ryman of Saint Thomas Episcopal Church, and also bore the distinction of being the first “lay-reader” of this church, He is survived by a wife and two children “Conny” his dauzh- ter, and his son George who has since retired well to do. The success of this man stands as an object lesson for those of the race who are striving to reach the pinacle, that by hard work and cease- less endeavor we ean accomplish what he did. It also shows that we are living in a community peopled with men and women of the opposite race that believe in giving a square deal, Author reserves right to copy. 1916 the states of Alabama, Dela- ware and Florida’ had no colored college students at all, but all togct- her had 3,101 white students in col- leges. When it is reflected upon that Alabama has a colored popula- tion of 900,000; Delaware, 31,000 and Florida, 360,000, it is geen that conditions along these lines are most unsatisfactory, even critical. In Mississippi, where the Negroes outnumber the whites by 200,000, there were in 1916 just thirteen col- ored college students, while the num- ber of white students in similar in- stitutions was 2,751, In the same year not one colored college student was reported in South Carolina, al- though the negroes outnumber the whites there, i Much of the public attention to the lapse in educational conditions in the country has been excited by the revelations made during the war. If a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, our chain of states is not only weak in several links but it is in a dangerous condition. Anarchy and disorder thrive on ignorance and illiteracy. The nation should put southern education on the anvil and make the sparks fiy,. s ~iolaletatalatalalatatal Fe a) one toe nee : ee 2000200 WE CAN DO LITs avons erg OUR HI TTLE A me YOUR HELP WE CAN DO ANYTHING! oon : N DO ANYTH ITH » : ING! 7 : Y : x I i INSUR L NCE x NOW BI ; eee OnP AN Two is being 100,00 OMPANY : shares, sold foi 000.0 x y have » $10.00 r $30.00 0 x , the stronger 0 down, atone share—$5.00 7 x i compan: .00 per mor .00 dow: INC umber y will be, nth, et n and ae Pe ais gt ters post ; sarve Life Ina ler the laws SS abachuts i oe eocknoleers 4 : urance Popes the State of I Ra romernedlsd\ large , “1 y and ; Hinoi: x A FEW wupervision. cute present | an Old Li , x FA : time unden state . x STHeeres THE CTS r state , x an TS, PAS’ ith liabiliti ther T TE x : 600 ead et been na YEARS a x x of over ane Bien $1,500,000.00 100,000 cording to BI x railroad 380,000, ee, Hage ck Durin: commercial RAD- X x $600,000 receiverships uring te closed th ig the past failures, x x poe 000.

Figures re- leased by the Chicago Department of health, Bureau of Child Hygiene shows that 61 per cent of all children examined in the schools are below the standard in health, The Life Extension Institute is re- sponsible for the statement that the “great majority of persons are be- tween forty and sixty per cent ef- ficient und that there are very. few persons who measure up to 90 per cent of their capabilities, The Review of Reviews course in Physical Training Health and Life Extension makes on the basis of physical condition the following divi- sions: ‘ First—The well set up healthy in- dividual, who appreciates the esthetic and economic value of a fine body and takes good care of it, Second—The weak and undevelop- ed with flabby muscles, stooped head and shoulders, flat chest, relaxed and prominent abdomen—this is the most common types in our cities today. ‘Third—The thin nervous individual who is often well endowed mentally, is energetic and ambitious, but lacks physical stamina, Fourth—The familiar fat over fed, often jolly and don’t care individual, who loves a good dinner,loathes phys- ical exercise and who usually pays the penality for over indulgence and neglect of exercise by reduced effi- ciency and short life. We suggest that each reader make a careful and consciencious effort to place himself into the class in which he belongs. Nutrition workers have found that from infancy to old age there is a constant relation between height and weight, and that any marked variations from this normal weight for height results in a lowering of the individuals health and power. The following table of average for height may be taken as a standard, ‘if you are more than 7 per cent over or under the figures for your height acy 4 examination by a nutrious spe¢!_aist would probably disclose the cause and in the great majority of cases there should be adjustments in your living arrangements, usually easily and cheaply made which will result in early correction, Men Women Height Weight Height Weight ft. in. pounds ft. in, pounds 6... 0....126 heges Bi TES ; + 1....128 Gone Dies 144 Bisco Qe qe8O: ay ys s80i0 0 S06 S.ee.

One of this century would expect these tendencies to have died with ‘the institution of slavery—yet, he verted Aemricanism; the Negro, bur- doned with legacies of the past and hampered by ties of the present. Must he be contented? While the riddle of the American Sphinx re- main unanswered. defenders of the “higher code", vain-gloriously refered to as “The protectors of American womanhood,” goes on producing Ruth Randalls, every day. What about Bertha Weibeck? they ask, What about the thousands of octoroons, quadroons and half white babies that are born every day in the southland? Nothing, I presume; since they who produce them are safely entrenched behind such mani- fest absurdities—race prejudice— and typical American hypocrisy. ‘The “flaming tongue” of the bla- tent, press, in clarion tones magnify every vice and minimize every vir- ture of the Negro. Vilification on jeonstant vituperation will not brig out the best in any race; but, will accentuate a deep seated hatred be- tween them. We that have eyes to see, ralize what the ulimate result will be. Why did not the daily press head-, line the attempt by a white man to rape a colored girl a few night ago? ‘The details were given to the police in the regular form. Had it been a Negro, it would have been gobbled up by every daily in Chicago, and eleborated on to the “extent of sev- +l full sheets, and the people would have been invited to a lynching as was done a few years ago, when a colored man married a white girl (aged twenty-two) for whom it was claimed was subjected to epileptic fits. What about the colored woman that was lynched, by being hung up by the heels; her abdomen ripped open, a child torn from her womb and its brains stamped out by the crowd? All because she protested because her husband was innocently killed by a mob, What about the lives of sleeping Negro women and children whose lives are nightly jep- ordized by bombs; with no word of protest from the daily press? Tsay answer these “annoying questions”; and then, ask: How a- bout Bertha Weibeck? W. H. Tibbe. A NEW NEGRO HISTORY BY B. G. BRAWLEY.
