The life of William Ray, the state of Indiana. It will be at any cost until disposed of by MAYOR'S EDICT AND POLICE BULLETS BLOCK LYNCHING Mob's Charge On Jail Rolled Back. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 23. Indianapolis is quiet today after the firm stand taken by Mayor Jewett, and the iron hand of the Indianapolis police. 2000 Attempt to Storm Jail. The storm of mob spirit has been abated after a hectic night during which an unorganized mob of more than 2000 whites attempted to storm the Marion County jail to lynch William Ray, colored, aged 19, confessed slayer of Martha Huff, white. Police bullets rolled back the thousands who vainly attempted to break the cordon of mounted police that Mayor Jewett had thrown around the county jail with explicit orders to shoot to kill any who tried to cross a dead line set by the police. Thrice Try to Break Cordon. Theater-goers and the idly curious augmented the mob of hoodlums that thronged the streets near the jail. Three times they hurled themselves against the iron wall of police pistols. Three times the mob recoiled leaving behind them their bleeding wounded. Soldiers, sailors, and marines who volunteered their services were held in readiness heavily armed, to quell any further disturbances. A number of alleged ringleaders of the mob were put under arrest. The demonstration followed the confession of Ray, a half-wit, who should be in the county hospital, that he had lured the girl into the Eagle Creek bottoms, assaulted her, then stabbed her. Mayor Takes Firm Stand William Menroe Trotter, National Sec'y Equal Rights, who is visiting in Chicago with headquarters at the Chicago Whip, sent a telegram to Mayor Hewett, of Indianapolis, asking the mayor's stand in the crisis. The answer to Mr. Trotter's telegram is reprinted in these columns. No further trouble is feared in Indianapolis. NEGROES MARCH ON MULBERRY, KANS. Reported Seeking Revenge for Victim of Lynching. PITTSBURGH, Kan., April 22. Negroes from Croweburg, Kans., a small mining camp in this district, tonight were reported to be marching to Mulberry, Kans., where a colored man was lynched last Monday, following an attack on a young white girl. M. F. Brandenburg, son of W. A. Brandenburg, president of the Pittsburgh State Normal, in company with the students of the normal school, went to Mulberry tonight. Young Brandenburg returned with the report that a play which the students were giving was stopped at the end of the first act, following a report "A PAPER WITH A POLICY" The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY CHARLES W. JEWETT, Mayor. Dr. Le Roy Bundy To Tell His Story Dr. Leroy Bundy of East St. Louis will respond to the appeals and pleas of hundreds of Race sympathizers to appear in person, and will tell his own story from the platforms of South Park M. E. Church and Olivet Baptist Church. Dr. Bundy will speak at South Park M. E. Church Sunday, May 2, at 3:30 P. M., and at Olivet Baptist Church, 27th and Dearborn Sts., Tuesday night, May 4, at 8 o'clock. His Fortune Gone For three years Dr. Bundy has been fighting against great odds to prove his innocence of the charges framed against him. His fight thru the courts has practically depleted the fortune he accumulated in the practice of his profession in E. St. Louis. Previous to the E. St. Louis "massacre" and his subsequent indictment, Dr. Bundy was reputed to be worth $75,000.00. Besides spending practically all of his own fortune, Dr. Bundy has been forced to spend thousands of dollars subscribed to his cause by friends and race-loyal organizations: A Forceful Orator. It has been claimed by those who have listened to the oratorical excellencies of this brave man that he has few, if any superiors on the American platform. It is said that he received his early training in this art from his father, who ranks with the best itinerant elders of the Methodist Church. His fight for liberty has, developed his oratorical ability to a very high degree. A Race Cause. From the testimony of many justice-loving people, both white and colored, Dr. Bundy's case is not a purely personal affair. It is a race issue. It is a test case to prove whether the colored people with their white friends will line up to the last child to see that justice shall be the controlling element in court procedure. It does not matter what any one may think of LeRoy Bundy. It is the cause that he represents. The fact that the Supreme Court has granted Dr. Bundy a writ of ror goes a long way to prove that he has been persecuted on account of race hatred, granted Dr. Bundy a writ of error goes a long way to prove that he has been persecuted on account of race hatred. that the negroes were marching on the town. A prominent Mulberry business man reported over long distance telephone late tonight that the hardware stores had been thrown open to the public, so that arms and ammunition could be secured to properly arm the Mulberry citizens upon the arrival of the mob. It is known that the colored people in that community have been in an indignant mood since the lynching last Monday. Confesses Causing Near-Lynching IGNORE KANSAS ANTI-LYNCH LAW Sheriff Not Suspended Despite Lynching of Colored man. PITTSBURG, Kan., April 26.—Richard J. Hopkins, attorney general for the state of Kansas, announced that Sheriff Milt Gould would not be suspended from office in compliance with a recently enacted state law which provides for the removal from office of any public official who allows a prisoner to be taken from him and lynched. An unidentified colored man was taken from Sheriff Gould by a mob and lynched April 20. Counsel for Gould contended that inasmuch as the colored man was never lodged in the county jail, but was lynched before being taken there by Sheriff Gould, he was never actually in the custody of Gould. Change of Venue for Chambliss Policeman's Case Becoming Famous On Account of Unexpected Developments. Ex-policeman Dorsey Chambliss was granted a change of venue in Judge Hugo Pam's court last Wednesday. The case was reassigned by Chief Justice Robert Crowe to Judge Harry Lewis for trial on May 17. Chambliss was indicted under a charge of conspiracy and abduction of Bertha Wiebeck, now dead, an alleged white prostitute, and held under $50,000.00 bond. The Illinois Supreme Court held that $50,000 bond was too high and set it at $10,000. Nullify Supreme Court's Decision Nullify Supreme Court's Decision. As an answer to the decision of the Supreme Court, the State's Attorney secured the returning of a new indictment against Chambliss, in order that a new figure might be set as the price of Chambliss' liberty which would not be affected by the ruling of the Supreme Court. Seeks Justice in Another Court Grounding his request on the new indictment returned against Chambliss, Attorney F. L. Barnett obtained a change of venue for the defendant. Believe Dorsey Persecuted Believe Dorsey Persecuted. It is the belief in legal circles, that regardless of the innocence or guilt of the defendant, Chambliss is the victim of a deliberate attempt to force trial with undue haste, first, by opposing the defendant's liberty under reasonable bond, and second, by insisting upon trial without giving the defendant time to marshal his evidence and his witnesses and prepare his case.

Culprit Confesses Crime Under Duress Claims that Colored Man Paid Him Five Dollars to Commit Murder. DANVILLE, Ky., April 20. — Keith Phillips, a 16 year old white boy, held since Saturday in the county jail here, under suspicion of having been implicated in the kidnapping and murdering of 7 year old Wesley Trimble confessed today that he alone had abducted and murdered Trimble. Colored Suspect Nearly Lynched. Lucien Jenkins, colored, narrowly escaped lynching following the dying statement of the Trimble lad that a colored man committed the crime.— Jenkins is now in the Lexington jail for safe-keeping, for although he has been exonerated by the murderer, authorities fear for his safety. Murderer Modifies Confession Murderer Modifies Confession. After Phillips had broken down and assumed complete responsibility for the death of Trimble, it is claimed that certain influence was brought to bear upon him which resulted in the modification of his confession to the effect that he had been paid five dollars by Lucien Jenkins, the colored suspect, to commit the murder. This modification seemed plausible enough to relieve Phillips of the ousie of the crime, by reason of the dying statement of the murdered boy. Phillips took the police to his home and showed them the blood-stained hammer with which he committed the murder. COLOR QUESTION COSTS SOUTHERN LAWYER $3 Man Accused of Killing Colored Man Held Without Bail. Louisville, Ky., April 27.—It cost Clem W. Huggins $83 to speak his mind on what he termed the "color question" in Police Court yesterday. It was during the trial of his client, William J. James, accused of shooting to death Robert Lowe, colored driver who ran over James' son. The courtroom was filled with negroes. Brent Ovestreet and Samuel Anderson had been employed by negro organizations to prosecute James. The State announced it was ready for trial, but Mr. Huggins sought a continuance because Richard I. James, the defendant's brother, is out of the city. When Mr. Overstreet, objected, Mr. Huggins accused the former of "grandstanding" before the negroes who had employed him. "If this had been a negro who killed a white man or another negro a continuance would be granted," retorted Mr. Huggins. Police Judge Burgevin, here held Mr. Huggins for contempt, saying as he assessed the fine that the case was the same as any other. Examination was then waived and James was held to the grand jury without bail on the murder charge and in $500 bond on a charge of shooting and wounding... TEXANS INDIGTED FOR LYNGHING First Southerners Ever Convicted of Lynching Given Suspended Sentences. Canton, Texas, April 21.—Charles Lansdale, William Long and Tom Lay, all white, were tried for participating in the lynching of a colored man here last fall, and entered pleas of guilty to manslaughter in the county court yesterday. South for lynching a colored man. The lynchers were given a two years sentence in the county jail, which upon motion of counsel was immediately suspended for an indefinite period. Kenwood Bombers Stage New Outrages Kenwood Bombers Stage New Outrages Bombing Follows Boast that 800 Colored People Will Be Chased From Fashionable Residence District. Following fast upon the heels of the boast of the Hyde Park and Kenwood Property Owners Assn. that on or before May 1st not less than 800 colored residents will be either evicted or driven by force from Kenwood and Hyde Park, the home of Mrs. Isabel Seymore, 425 E. 58th Pl., was bombed at 11:45 P. M. Friday night, April 23. Mrs. Seymore's porch was blown away and several windows were shattered. The total damage amounted to more than $1000.00. No one was injured, and as usual, there are no clues to the identity of the bombers. Mrs. Seymore stated to a Whip reporter that she had never received any threats or threatening letters, but that neighbors had on several occasions noticed men acting suspiciously in the vicinity of the bombed home. On April 2, just exactly three weeks prior to the bombing of Mrs. Seymore's home, the home of Robert Jackson, 423 E. 48th Pl., was bombed. Jackson is a post-office employee. ANOTHER COLORED HOME BOMBED At 11:45 Monday another bomb thrown by loyal law abiding citizens did $500 damage to the home of Creed Hibbard a colored citizen living in his own home a three flat building at 4321 Vinencas Ave. There was no warning of any kind the families in all three of the flats were asleep. The bomb was made of Black Powder and wrecked the vestibule and first fbbor. Immediately after the bombing about 15 officers were on the spot, they got the usual clew, did the usual questioning, looked the usual serious way, left in the usual manner and the bombing affair was settled. It is indeed strange that every kind of a criminal but a Chicago Hyde Park Bomber can be filleted out of Chicago THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR. WHITE TEAMSTER ALLEGED ASSAILANT, HELD TO GRAND JURY Little Louise Jackson, aged 13, daughter of Mrs. Mary Smith, 748 E. 48th St., was dragged behind a house at 4408 Cottage Grove Ave., last Friday night, gagged, slugged, and raped. George Blum, white, aged 33, 750 E. 46th St., a teamster for the City of Chicago, has been held to the grand jury as her alleged assailant. WAS RETURNING FROM GROCERY STORE Louise had been sent to the grocery store at 43rd St. and Cottage Grove Ave. by her mother. While returning along Cottage Grove Ave, she was seized in front of a house at 4408 and dragged into the back yard. She was gagged and beaten in the face, and finally threatened with Louise returned home screaming and related the outage to her mother, who immediately sent her to the Hahnemann Hospital at 29th St. and Cottage Grove Ave. for examination. The chief surgeon after examination gave her a certificate to the effect that she had been violently used. The matter was at once reported to the police department who assigned detectives to the case. Accosted Again Next Day By Same Assailant. The next day, Louise while playing in front of her home was accosted by a white man whom she recognized and identified as her assailant of the night before. The man was George Blum, a white teamster of 750 E. 46th St. Blum had seen her talking to two detectives, and had again threatened her life in case she exposed his dastardily deed. Mrs. Smith, the mother, from her apartment on the 4th floor saw the man talking to Louise, and called to ask who he was. At this juncture Blum sped across the street and concealed himself behind a coal wagon there. Learning the identity of the individual from Mrs. Smith and Louise, the detectives put Blum under arrest. At the preliminary examination before Judge Fry in the Stockyards Court, Blum made a sweeping denial of the charge, and all attendant circumstances. Louise positively identified Blum as her assailant, and as the man who accosted her the next day. Blum denied this. Mrs. Smith positively identified Blum as the man seen talking to her daughter in front of the house. Blum denied this also. The two detectives testified that Blum was hiding behind a wagon when arrested. Blum denied this in addition. Constructs Elaborate Alibi. Blum set up an elaborate alibi as to his whereabouts at the time in question. He brought in two lifelong friends, his employer, and the restaurant proprietor whom he habitually patronizes to swear that he was in a garage in an alley between 44th and 45th St. at the time he is alleged to have raped little Louise Jackson. The garage in question is about 200 yds. from the spot where Louise was outraged. Blum's Alibi Defective. The weak spot in Blum's elaborate alibi came out, however, when the detectives testified that when they arrested Blum, his employer, a con- PRICE FIVE CENTS th ST.

S. Taylor, of this city, its national President, concluded sessions running over three days tonight. Following an address delivered by Maurice Trotter, of Boston, Mass., and Rev. J. G. Robinson, National Organizer, the conference adopted a public declaration and an address to the country. The declaration reads as follows:—TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:Realizing keenly the economic and political injustices to which the colored Americans are being subjected, namely, lynching, mob violence, Jim Crow laws, technical disfranchisement, and wage slavery, we call upon and urge the delegates attending the National Democratic Convention, and earnest insist that the delegates composing the National Convention of Republicans, and appeal to all other political parties' conventions to include in their platforms drastic laws against those patent injustices before mentioned. We urge the party standard bearers to use personal influence for appropriate legislation and adequate enforcement measures to make effective the above reforms. We appeal to the colored people to observe closely the positions taken by the respective conventions and the attitudes of the political candidates. Finally we urge that these matters be brought to the direct attention of Congress, and a drive made for legislation at this session, to the end that we may have a nationalization of democracy and true Ameriennism inclusion of one hundred per cent of the American people. W. STANLEY BRAITEWAITE FOR HALL OF FAME New York, N. Y., April 26. — The April number of Vanity Fair has nominated William S. Braithwait, colored, the Boston Critic and Poet, for a place in the American Hall of Fame. The recommendation is agecompanied with a fine portrait of Mr. Braithwaite. tract teamster for the city of Chicago, hastily told them that at the time of the outrage, Blum was at the city stables at 26th St. and Cottage Grove Ave. This testimony sharply conflicted with the testimony of the other witnesses. In holding Blum to the Grand Jury Judge Fry commented upon the seriosness of the charge, and pointed out that the character of the testimony offered by the witnesses and by Blum himself was such as to raise doubt in his mind as to its sincerity, while on the other hand, the testimony of Louise, Mrs. Smith and the two detectives left him in no doubt as to the probability of its truth. Blum's bond was set at $2500, which was signed promptly by his father. --- UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Near the corner of 35th and State Street a colored woman has been conducting a vice institution.

RDAYS FROM 9 A.M. atement of Condition ate Bank o "NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL WHILE calmly strojling along Thirty-fifth Str., I saw a young man, wearing a golf cap many sizes too large for him, but draped over his left ear in a manner that gave me the impression that he was trying to disguise himself. I saw him suddenly top and assume a crouching attitude like a sprinter, then spring upon a small object on the sidewalk crying in a jubilant tone, "Welcome, little one". He then straightened up and with a dainty touch flicked the lirt and particles of foreign matter from a half burnt cigar, extracted a match from his grimy vest pocket, applied it to the "little one", puffed and puffed until his "little one" flared up and then resumed his way to church. A bystander remarked to me, "Did you see that bird cover that 'dud'?" I knew that my gentle inquirer had been "over the top". color. They were extremely dilapidated and weather-heaten in appearance. They were also very noisy and undignified in their conduct. These three ladies had turned two seats facing each other and had draped their forms over three seats originally intended by the Street Car Company for four people. The car was crowded, men and women were standing in the aisles, but the three ladies were blissfully oblivious to the fact that their conduct and boisterousness lending weight to the argument of some half-wit whites for Jim Crow Street cars in Chicago. THE waitresses in most of our restaurants continue to regale their "doings" of the night before they tomers of their acquaintance and to those who are working with them. They never seem to think that most of the patrons are not interested in this unseemly and most times foul chatter and that many patrons seek the "one arm" restaurants or automatic lunches in order not to have to put up with that "night life gossip". I wonder if some of the proprietors, know this? I wonder if these proprietors also know that one man has gone out of the restaurant business because of the "long distance" conversations of his waitresses? WANDERED into Walgreen's Drug Store at 35th and State Street and attempted to persuade one of the dainty attendants to serve me after she finished powdering her face and adjusting her hair in front of the fountain mirror. After she descended to take my simple order, she recognized one of her pleasant associates with his chest to the bar and began to chastise him about his delinquencies. I waited the ten minutes that she required and accepted the drink that she had prepared, but which was not the drink that had ordered, so that I would not offend her. I had to object, however, when I noticed that she had not correctly computed my change and interrupted her in her conversation with another gentleman who "had seen her doing her stuff" the night before", as he said. She petulantly gave me the correct change with her head turned one way and her hand stretched somewhat in my directions. I smiled, sighted and walked out. I wonder if you think now what I thought then? HILE observing dental offices on the South Side the other day—I noticed that there are many dental of there are many dental practices becoming more attractive by cleanliness; windows being kept clean—operating rooms more in keeping with the present time—color schemes more harmonious and more attention paid to appearances in general. I wondered why this sudden change on the part of so many dentists and whether the elaborate offices of Chapman and Tancil are the cause. Perhaps another reason why high prices keep on toward the top is because of the old time assurance that there is plenty of room up there.

He says that this state of affairs has been in effect since the world war first started. "I wonder if the white people of Jefferson county know that there is more interest, as demonstrated in the number of teachers available, among the colored people than the hites in school work," said Dr. Baker. "This condition cannot continue with out danger to our civilization. The colored race is furnishing all the teachers needed for themselves and the Negroes are improving their school work steadily. When a Negro teacher fails to stun the state examination he or she returns for the next examination held, and so on until they get a certificate.

DAVE PEYTON Composer, Musician, Critic VAUDEVILLE & MOVIE REVIEW "Broadway Rastus" With Irvin C Miller Now Playing At the Grand Mr. Miller is offering to the masses the very best musical show entitled, "BROADWAY RASTUS" that has been seen in years, we have waited patiently for some to fill up the gap that had been broken by the passing away of such stage celebrates as Earnest Hogan, George Walker and Bob Cole. It looked for a long time that we would have to be satisfied with mediocre producers who could only handle the slap stick stuff to create laughter and many such shows had a lot of vulgar words and actions, but in seeing and hearing the Broadway Rastus we can easily observe the superior mind of Mr. Miller. In being able to write a comedy without a single line that would mean anything pertaining to sugestigiveness. In being able to achieve this, Mr. Miller has studied the parts in the same careful manner as a doctor would in performing a serious operation. Not only did he write the book, he also staged the dancing numbers and wrote the biggest song hit of the show entitled, "Love is a funny proposition". In creating a comedy in laughable situations, Mr. Miller shows his originality i stage craft. Two of the most ludricious situations ever seen on the stage that keeps the audience in continuous laughter, are the Graveyard scene and the scene in front of th bakery shop. The stage setting also the elegant and attractive costumes were designed by him. As an actor and producer, he is the class of the Negro race and can be easily compared with any of the other Race producers. Mr. Miller has been careful in selecting his cast and chorus is amply testified at every performance by the predigious crowds that attend the Grand Theatre nightly. He has also given much attention to the commercial interest of his enterprise as he has equipped his business staff with competent Negroes who handles his affairs to his entire saitfaction and today rBroadway Rastus is the only big show that is bringing joy to thousands, financed and piloted by Negroes, making it an entire Race Enterprise. Great credit should be given to Irvin C. Miller. THE MONOGRAM. Billy King's Jazz Babies, fill the bill at this House for this week, it is chucked full of good music and affords much laughter.

The "Mysterious Poet" has certainly started something. There will appear in the columns of The Whip, an article each week concerning the members of the Appomattox Club. The Mysterious Poet, of Appomattox Club, has surely started something. Every one is wondering who he is. Our directors would like to have this very excellent poet divulge his name, so that proper credit may be given him for his efforts. There will appear each week in the Chicago Whip a poem concerning different members of the club. All members should secure these poems, and save them for future reference. The poet desires to state that any little harmless joke, or funny incidents concerning any of our members, $^{i}$ sent to M. P. in care of the publicity committee, will find this way into the hands of the poet, and will be made the subject of a snappy poem, and will be published in this column. Th poet claims to have ready for publication poems referring to the following members, "Granny" McBride, David "Hee-Hawley," "Able" Clark, "Crying" Caut, Pinkney, "Tough" Henry Cole, "Fau" Miller, Colwell "The Cub" Watkins, "Rough Bill" Cowan, "Sauce" Col, Marshall, F. J. Stevens, our "beard-lesa boy see", and many others, which will be published from time to time. We have on hand at this moment a very excellent poem about a session of the ladies auxiliary which the poem claims to have attended. We withhold this poem in order to give the poet time to make his escape before publication. HUURAH! The decorators and electricians are through and the new equipment is coming in.—The great grand opening draws near.

"Now Collins, we'll not beg your pardor for that" "We we our apologies to the poor rat! For no rat with sufficient mental polis Would ever attempt to make as much poison! As for Cole and Pinkney, and "big boy" Blue, The poet is keeping his eyes on you! And he is just waiting, to give you a crack Whenever he catches you on the wrong track. Y. M. C. A.

If the majority are well given too much praise cannot be given to the one who has made the concert possible. We comment most heartily, therefore, Mrs. Cowe, her pupils—and the fiends who assisted—for the very creditable and enjoyable song recital at Abraham Lincoln Center on Tuesday evening, April 20th. Especially good was the rendition of Song of the Vikings and Po Little Lamb given respectively by the Sidem Baptist Choir and the Ladies' Chorus, the organ solos by Mr. Charleston and the Introduction and Rondo Capucinoio of Saint Sacrs by Mr. Harrison Emmanuel, Violinist. The solos by Mrs. Magnolia Johnson, Mrs. McCoy, Miss Otis, Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Crochat, Mr. Butler and Mr. Thompkins were excellent and showed to a marked degree the solident training given. Many other numbers of the program were worthy of special mention. With keen interest we look forward to the piano recital of Mrs. Cone's class on June 1st at Lincoln Centre.

C., April 23.—An investigation into the causes of friction between whites and blacks in the United States and of the "increasing discontent" among Negroes would be authorized under a bill introduced today by senator Spenceer, Republican, Missouri. A REPUTATION" GREEN THE WORLD OF SPORTS By "Full of Pep" "SPORT SPARKS" Jack Dempsey's wife is now ready to prove that her marriage to him is a violation of the Utah Divorce Law. Oh the wonderful woman—she loves, she hates with the same beat of the pulse, then she gets all mused up, it is not quite certain which she does, and decides she hates you, and she does it and proves it as only a Woman can. The outcome is you find yourself in Jail or Charley Jackson's undertaking establishment, and there is no choice. She does not understand herself so what chance has a poor weak man to unravel a mystery that Solomon, the wise, had no luck with. Horrors! Silk tights that formerly cost 9 bucks a pair are quoted at $71.00 now. What is a poor man to do. These worsted ones are so 'croppy.' Here is a real battle between Chicago White Sox, Faber pitching and Cleveland, Tris Speaker's choice, Covaleskie. Babe Adams has pitched 33 consecutive innings without a pass, a remarkable incident. NEW BASE BALL RULES READ THIS AND BE WISE ON BASE BALL. Baseball fans, in order to be up to date, should know the baseball rules as they have been amended. The following important changes now in effect are: Freak pitching deliveries forbidden, except the spitball, which will be barred next fall. Catchers forbidden to step from behind the batsman to aid intentional pass. Umpire to decide whether a game is to be postponed. Gift stolen bases not to be recorded in the official box scores. No sales of players in the American league after July 1, and in the National league after August 1, except on waivers. All home runs to be recorded as such, to wit: With two out in the last half of the ninth inning and the score tied, batsman to be credited with number of bases runner advances on his bit. A ball that hits the bat while the batsman is trying to avoid it, is dead. Catcher charged with error if he drops third strike and batsman reaches first base. Players to be credited with batting and fielding records made in game thrown out on protest. Sam Langford. Sam Langford of perpetual youth fame, stayed 15 busy rounds with Harry Wells, in Denver April 23rd. Wells knocked Langford down twice in the first round. Wells led the way but Samuel was there at the finish. Wells was given the decision. Peter Galliger, who does not know him? Just from Lenox Avenue in the elite East, blew over the 'stroll' all geered up in "overalls", the latest craze of the idol rich. I ask him why the 'overalls', he said the working men refused to wear them and somebody had to. Say, did you notice how rusty that suit you are wearing looked on the day the sun was shining? Red Faber, is himself again. He has got some of the saltpeter out of his system, he did not falter but once at Detroit, gathered and pitched a wonderful ball game. His return means White Sox first and the others nowhere. Glory—Shep Allen has returned to the Stroll, says Chicago is a nice old town after all. Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth, who Col. Rupert and Huson separated themselves from $125,000.00 iron men has torn a muscle from 11th rib and the "sooth sayer" of the Club says he will be out two weeks. He tore quite a hole in the bulky bank roll of the spendthrift Colonels. Ping Bodie broke into the picture. You know him. He was indefinitely suspended, has been hurriedly reinstated and will perform in the Center Garden. Ping Bodie sat on the bench at the White Sox Ball Park for four months just as a bench warmer, and had developed all symptoms of bench paralysis. An outfielder was silly enough to get hurt. Jimmie Callahan, who was manager at that time, sent Ping in to play the position, and he did the job in so finished manner that the deservedly celebrated Borax Team of 20 mules could not pull him out again, so we would advise Babe, the Peerless, to keep his weather eye open for squalls. We sometimes wonder if continually feeding Babe Ruth with left han- ders as the managers are doing, had anything to do with tearing this muscle away from his 11th rib. Because when they don't hit, any alibi is used. If Babe continues to take the third strike, and hearing the heart-rending words, "you're out", the little brown dergy will soon fit him. Babe Adams Returns. Babe Adams, who won the pennant for Pittsburgh by beating Detroit in 1909, who was a fairly good pitcher in 1910, being unconditionally released by Jimmie Callahan, when he became manager of Pittsburgh Ball Team, went to St. Joe under the management of Jack Holland who rejuvenated him and caused him to become a wonderful pitcher again, so wonderful that Barney Dryfus brought him back. He won a 15 inning Ball game yesterday from the Cubs, beating Hendricks 4 to 1 in a very sassy battle. He looks like a better pitcher than his first time out A Modern Colored Wallingford Put It Over Baseball Magnates. By L. C. DAVIS. John McCloskey and Mike Kelley made the acquaintance of an ebony-hued "Get-rich-quick" Wallingford down in Mississippi during the recent exhibition tour of the Memphis and St. Paul teams, and now they are sorry they did not trust his enthusiastic declarations of how easy money can be made. En route to Memphis after playing a game in a nearby town a yellow telegram came to the two managers suggesting they stop at Belzoni, in Mississippi, and play an exhibition on a percentage basis. The managers put their heads together: "Where is this town, Benzine or whatever they call it?" they asked. Somebody who knew the route told them it was an insignificant settlement of negroes up the road a few miles. "And it wants a game, ch?" said the managers. "We'll wire this dingy Mulberry Sellers we'll stop over for a guarantee of 500 iron men, but nothing doing on percentage. Mistah Sellers answered promptly and when the train arrived he met it and planked down $500 in fifties, twenties and tens and some small change. The ball clubs went to the local "park" to stage their performance. They found to greet them a howling, enthusiastic mob of 1,800 cotton pickers, levee laborers and sawmill hands, all colors and shades of colors, with their women, their pickaninnies and their cousins and girls. There wasn't a dead head in the lot and Promoter Sellers had charged and collected a dollar a throw from every son and daughter of Ham. His expense for feeding the two ball clubs was less than $50. He pocketed the rest after paying the $500 guarantee. He sold his own tickets, peddling them about the streets mostly—and he banked $1,250. And John McCloskey and Mike Kelley looked on hungrily.

Philadelphia, Pa., April 15.—Geo. Carpentier is heavy weight champion of Europe, who aspires to be champi- on boxer of the world. The French- man is 28 years old and has been fighting 15 years. During this time he has bowed to two colored boxes. Dixie Kid beat him in a five round bout in 1911 and in 1913 Joe Jean- ette defeated him in a fifteen round bout. Stigall Beats Jackie Brown. Brunswick, Ga., April 15.—Little Arthur Stigall, Maryland, best colo- red light-weight boxer, who is tu- tored for the championship in his class, outpointed Jackie Brown here Easter Monday. Stigall is also matched to meet Battleling Powell at Miami, Florida. Cumberland fans are waiting with a good deal of interest for the second bout with Leo Johnson, at Cumberland Park on Democratic Day. Hampton Defeats Lincoln. Hampton, Va., April .....The Hampton baseball team turned a seeming defeat into victory in an eight-inning rally, by scoring four runs and defeating the Lincoln team 8 to 7 in a game played here on Saturday, April 10th. The visitors, returning from their Southern trip where they had won nine games out of eleven played, expected a victory. Both teams made several errors, which aided in the scoring of their opponents. The pitching of Johnson for Lincoln and Scott for Hampton were the features of the game. The line-up was as follows: HAMPTON, 8. Freeman, L. F.; Mann, C. F.; Owl, R. F.; Ginn (Capt.) C.; Verigan 1 B.; Jacson 2 B.; Long, S. S.; Wright 3 B.; Scott P. LINCOLN, 7. Wilson, L.F; Kin- nough, C. F.; Chapelle, R. F.; Hub- bard, C.; Halloway, 1 B.; Boyd (Capt); Joiner, S. S.; Boozer, 3 B.

We, the Journeyman Barbers Unity Club, of the city of Chicago, in mass meeting held in Unity Club Rooms, 3140 Indiana Ave., April 26th, by unanimous vote decided not to work at the trade on Sunday, beginning May 2nd. We heartily appreciate the support you have given us by your patronage in the past and call upon you to stand by us in this decision, to keep the most sacred of all days, the Sabbath Day. Respect. Submitted, Committee on Publicity. J. B. Sneed, Chair. Olive Reed, Pres Opie Reed has organized the Journeymen Barbers' Club. The purpose is to stop the barbers from working on Sunday. Opie "the Moses of Barbers" forgets that the people want tonsorial services on Sunday and pay the barbers for their services. Other people work on Sunday, why shouldn't the barbers who own nothing but a pair of seizzors and sheers. (By A Customer.) THIS IS NOT THE OVER HEAD EXPENSE. Price of Wives In Africa is Raised by Old Gen. Hi Cost. London, April 25. — Lord Dewar, who has just returned from central Africa, in giving an account of his travels there said the increased cost of living in the district he visited was reflected in the higher price for wives paid by the natives. Who was a fine, sixteen hands high wife cost four spearheads in pre-war days, she now costs eight spearheads, Lord Dewar said. In the cattle district the price of a wife at present is eight cows instead of four. CICOTTE HURT. Detroit, Mich., April 25. — Eddie Cicotte, White Sox ace, will not pitch for the next week or ten days. An X-ray examination today revealed a slight fracture in the first joint of the index finger on Cicotte's left hand. The injury was occured in yesterday's game when Eddie knocked down a hot drive of Young's bat. This will not hurt so greatly as Cicotte has won his game against Detroit. Dick Keer will pitch against Cleveland. Faber is wonderfully effective against this team and Williams can return in three days. Some day this season the management must know if the new pitcher are as good as they have been touted to be, they look good against Minor League Ball Club, here is a chance to use them as the team has not been beaten yet. SEMI PRO .SCHEDULES. Following are the games scheduled last night by the different semi-pro and amateur baseball organizations for next Sunday: Chicago League. Dodger Trainings at Normal park.

In the best game played at Mae's park this season Ted Blount's Detroit Star defeated the Northway Motor ball team 7 to 5. The motor boys fought hard all during the game, but were unable to offset the heavy artillery work of Warfield, Lyons, Wesley, Moore and C. Hill Lyons and Wesley shading their teammates by putting the ball over the fence for homruns. Rynecarson, who started on the mound for Norhtways, was taken for one run in the first stanza and three in the fourth on consecutive hits by Hammerschmidt. Rynecarson and Concett, the latter getting a double. Two base on balls and Ort's double had given the Lawton avenue team two runs in the previous inning. Powers relieved Rynecarson to start the sixth and the colored stars immediately scored three runs. C.

Master of human destinies am I; Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait. Cities and fields I walk: I penetrate deserts and seas remote, and passing by, Hovel and mart and places, soon or late, I knock unbidden once at every gate. If sleeping — wake; If feasting — rise: before I turn away. It is the hour of fate; And they who follow me reach every state mortals desire. And conquer every foe but death. But those who doubt or hesitate; Condemned to failure, penury and woe — Seek me in vain and uselessly implore. Laws not—and—I return no more. Jeweler Sued For Loss Of Bracelet. Mrs. Ella L.

In an interview with a special reporter of this paper, Mrs. Holmes stated that she would fight the case to the highest court, not only because of the value of the heirloom but in addition thereto the insolent manner which the white jeweler assumed, when she requested the return of her bracelet.

STOKE HARRY KEI Phones Douglas 4482 4525 R. M. STOKES, Ph. C., Mgr. HARRY KELLY, Druggist Judge McGoorthy Denies Wife Alimony. Hilliard Strickland, 3646 Grand Boulevard brought suit against his wife, Sarah Strickland, charging her with having deserted him in 1916. Mrs. Strickland filed her answer denying that she had deserted him and requested the court to compel her husband to give her support and pay her solicitor's fees. Mrs. Strickland related to Judge D. McGoorty of the court court, how her daughter Jessie Strickland, 1297 Pennsylvania Ave., Detroit, Michigan, had purchased her a $6000 home where she was making plenty of money and not wanting for anything; while her sworn affidavit in support of her claim for alimony had stated that she was penniless and without food and shelter. Her husband told the Judge that he wanted his wife to come home and live with him and showed several letters received from his wife stating that she did not intend to ever live with him again. The Judge decided that he would not compel a husband to pay money to his wife who refused to live with him without any cause. Mr. Strickland is in the real estate business in Chicago with offices in the Angelus Building. Mrs. Strickland is one of the society leaders of Detroit, Michigan. The Stricklands formerly lived in Los Angeles, Calif. In an interview with a special reporter of this paper, Mr. Strickland stated that the property owned by him in California was worth more than $50,000, but that his wife had left their palatial bungalow in 1915 and he had spent his entire fortune in following her half way across the continent trying to bring about a reconciliation. Mr. Strickland was represented by the firm of Ellis & Westbrooks. FOUNDER OF LIBERTY LIFE TOURING TEXAS. F. L.

Discreditable Mail Service a "Red Tape" Imposition Congress Ignores Public and Commercial Interests by Allowing Underpay and Sweatshop Conditions Self-protection and common decency command that public and business interests no longer tolerate the present discreditable Mail Service. It is a "red tape" imposition, retarding and jeopardizing important transactions and expecting the overworked and underpaid Post Office Clerk to be a clutton for punishment. Ten Facts Proving Neglect and Glaring Inconsistencies 1. CONGRESS ECONOMIZES IN THE POSTAL SERVICE TO OFFSET ENORMOUS EXPENDITURES IN OTHER DIRECTIONS. ITS LEGISLATION GIVES "RED TAPE" FULL SWAY. FALSE ECONOMY AND "RED TAPE" IN THE POSTAL SERVICE HAVE DONE INFINITE HARM TO PUBLIC AND BUSINESS INTERESTS. 2. Chicago postoffice has become a warehouse for delayed mail. 3. The Postal Service, the greatest revenue yielding branch of the government, pays lowest wages. 4. The following "topsy-turvy" promotion system—an incentive for ambitious young men—is in vogue: 60c per hour for beginners, 41c per hour for skilled and experienced clerks, 57c per hour maximum pay for experienced clerks and 60c per hour for experts, who therefore receive no less than beginners. 5. Over 3,600 clerks are employed in the Chicago postoffice; 800 of the most proficient clerks have resigned within the last year because of inadequate pay and sweatshop conditions. 6. 5,000 temporary clerks have come and gone within a few months—none of them cared to stay. Figure the immense cost of this labor turnover. 7. Supervisors hope to, reach pay of unskilled labor. 8. Since 1907 (a period of 13 years), clerks have received but one $100 increase plus a meager bonus. All in all, their minimum pay for that period was increased from 28c to 41c per hour. 9. Cost of living has increased 104% since 1913. Clerks' pay in that same period has advanced but 37%. 10. After 13 months of investigation, the Postal Wage Commission will merely make a tentative report. According to opinions from authorities, no action will be taken until next December. The pulmotor, two years after the cry for help. The next announcement will shed some light upon sweatshop conditions and poor pay, causing the service that cheats the public and business interests out of the rights and privileges for which they pay.

TRUDE FINDS THE UNITED STATES ASSUR- ANCE MUTUAL HEALTH AND ACCIDENT CO. GUILTY. Samuel B. Emick, 519 Cedar St., Milwaukee, Wis., files his suit against the United States Assurance Company, 4652 Michigan Ave., Chicago, Ill., claiming that they had refused to pay seventeen weeks benefits for an accident received by him although he had been paying his premiums regularly to the company and was entitled to the same. The company contended that Mr. Emick was in arrears in the payments of his premiums. It developed from the evidence that one N. Sugarman (white) an agent of the company had collected the premiums on behalf of Emick but had made no accounting to the company of the same for more than a month. O. T. Hogan (white), the president of the company testified that they had no books or records in the office showing who the policy holders were and the company relies on the collection books carried by each agent. Judge Trude after hearing the case for two days, in rendering his decision in favor of Mr. Emick and against the Insurance Company, stated that the bookkeeping of the Insurance Company was the most lax method brought to his attention in the many years of his judicial career. That he did not believe in Insurance Companies receiving peoples money and permitting the agents to not report the same, and allowing them to carelessly and negligently attend to the business of the company. Mr. Emick was represented by attorneys Richard E. Westbrooks and Harris B. Gaines of the firm of Ellis & Westbrooks. The company was represented by Attorneys Frank D. Ayers (white) assistant corporation counsel of the City of Chicago and Clayton Wiley Mogg (white) of the firm of Ayers and Ayers.

No business could have done it more scientifically. They have united to prevent the possibility of duplication or waste. At least a million dollars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual campaigns are joined in one united effort. Each denomination has arranged its budget under six main heads: 1 FOR THE AT HOME, under this head. Five and a half United States write the English to carry forward Americanization not? 2 FOR HOSPITAL women seriously from Church lack of room. They are compelled children than the 3 FOR HIGHLY the 450,000 A institutions of half are in instituted supported by these institute endowment care needs are just needs he only to maintain alumnae of their contrib 1 FOR THE CHURCH'S WORK AT HOME. A score oitsures come under this head. Consider only one. Five and a half million people in the United States write the English language. Who is to carry forward this vast work of Americanization if the church does not? 2 FOR HOSPITALS AND HOMES. For every year thousands of men and women visit the church hospitals because of lack of room. The children's homes are compelled to turn away more children than they can receive. 3 FOR HIGHER EDUCATION. Of the 450,000 American in institutions of higher grade, one half are in institutions founded and supported by the Churches. Many of these institutions have had no great endowment campaigns, but their needs are just as pressing as the needs of the forged man, and well he is not of ten presachers are paid less than $20 a week! 4 FOR RELICIOUS TRAINING. At least 12,000,000 children and young people under 25 years of age are entering American life without any assistance. We remember the faith of Washington and Lincoln, do you think that America will continue to produce Washington and Lincoln if faith dies out of the hearts of its youth? 5 FOR THE CHURCH'S WORK ABOAD. Influenza came first from the Orient thirty years ago; men and women in the United States plagues. So long as China has only one physician to every 400,000 people in the United States, so continue the menace. So long as third of the babies of India die before their second year our own babies are not sent abroad is working for America as truly as though he worked at home. 6 PREACHERS' SALARIES. The preachers of the forged man, and well he is not of ten presachers are paid less than $20 a week! Each denomination has its own detailed budget, and will administer its own funds. Your pastor has copies of the budget: examine them for yourself. In the week of April 25th-May 2nd you will be given your opportunity to help. You can do it with the full satisfaction of knowing that every dollar of your gift has its post assigned to it in advance. Every dollar for better America and a better world. When your church calls on you give—and give with your heart as well as your pocket-book.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. THE SAVING GRACE It has been stated that the "Saving Grace" of the American Negro, has been his happy-go-lucky spirit. What the race has been saved from is not exactly clear to us. It is true that the ignoble institution of slavery has been partly destroyed. It is true that the American Negro has increased in numbers. He still breaths, moves and lives. How his unthoughtful propensities and butterfly proclivities have saved and perpetuated him is an enigma to us. The American Nego is one of the subject and under dog races of the world, because of his brute-like faithfullness to the white man, because of the lack of independent action and independent religion. There is no parallel to this case in history or in present times. During the flight of post slavery years we have seen him happy, singing, rollicking while his right to vote has been abbreviated, right to representation has been abridged, his right to trial by jury "fair and impartial" has been swept aside and all of the full rights to natural liberty have been curtailed. Still he whistles in the day, dances and sings during the audacity to the audacity to into the face world and is not ashamed. The saving grace of the American Negro has not been his care free spirit. The American Negro has not been saved and will not be saved until the syncopation and rhapsody is supplemented by tunes that rise and fall on human hearts carrying the burning message of soul-harrowing seriousness. God of our fathers, lest we forget, let our songs ring of love for life, liberty and justice. The great races of the world are the most serious races. The Comedian Races always have been cosmic jesters. The American Negro being bent and bowed by the burdens of color-prejudice is not in the condition to laugh, sing and dance, but should moan, groan and lift his eyes into the sunshine of truth and light, where intelligence, vision and courage can be inspired. The Hedonistic Theory proves that pleasure lovers and seekers die untimely deaths. The followers of the pleasure philosopher, Hedon, have sung and danced themselves into oblivion. Too many pleasures have always dulled the wit, stagnated the brain and dulled the vision. Th Negro in this country needs some recreation, needs some forms of pleasure to break the tragic monotony of his unfortunate condition. Some pleasure and recreation. He needs these, we reiterate. Pleasure with him, however, should be incidental and not primary. We hear the Negro voice lifted in the high cadences and see his feet in newest dances. We see his face beaming with pleasure and with the nonchalence of the care-free. His segregated districts reflect the light mindness of the childrace. They tell us that children are happy because they have no responsibilities. Has not the American Negro enough responsibility to make him sober and serious? While lynchings, riots and the stench of burning brother flesh fills his nostrils, he sings. While the high Courts of American Justice Jim Crow him, he laughs. While millionaires lie in luxury and roll in dollars filched from his labor, he dances. The Negro has greater responsibilities than any other race in Chistendom. He owes the duty to himself to be true to himself. He is responsible to his posterity for drifting carelessly with the tide of injustice. He had a responsibility to prove his fitness to dictate in the policies of the government that he pays taxes to. He owes the world and is responsible to the world for his own well being because he is part of the world's citizenry. The Negro has a preponderous responsibility. He must prove his right to rank with the truly great people of civilization. Away with the continual song and dance. On with the constructive thought and serious endeavor to win respect and freedom. Let the puckering whistling lips be sealed into firm lines of determination and courage. Let the Butterflies and Jester change their role and become kings in the Bee Hives of Industry and philosophers in the courts of kings. THE CHICAGO WHIP THE FOOLISH CATSPAW One of our esteemed contemporaries has truly said that the Negro is the most powerful political factor in the United States today. In his apparently powerless state HE IS ALL-POWERFULL The United States is dry today because Southerners believed that the Negro would work harder if not allowed to drink. The Universal Military Training Bill failed of passage because Southerners feared to arm the Negro and teach him military tactics. Woman Suffrage is about to fail to become a constitutional amendment because Southerners will not tolerate the addition of the Negro woman's vote to that of the Negro man. The Soldier's Bonus Bill is meeting with bitter opposition because Southerners fear that with a large amount of cash in his pocket, the Negro will refuse to work. A few hundred Negro Postal Clerks in Chicago are impoverishing all the thousands throughout the United States because Congressman Martin B. Madden, a clever camouflage artist, and incidentally the most influential member of the Post Office and Post Roads Committee in the House, has refused to use his influence to secure a living wage for the Postal Employees of American. Congressman Madden's constituents are mainly Negroes. He has cleverly deceived them into the belief that he is fighting tooth and nail for their interest. The Negroes have for fourteen years kept him continuously in the House. Congressman Madden has repaid them by making it possible for them to obtain employment in the postal service in Chicago. BUT HE HAS STOPPED THERE. He feels that it is honor enough for them to be allowed to work in Chicago's dilapitated and demoralized post-office. He is opposed to their receiving a decent salary, for he believes it is bad enough for a Negro to occupy a position of honor and respect, and it would be much worse for him to receive in addition a living wage. Thus it is that a few hundred postal employees in Chicago impoverish the thousands throughout the country, both white and black. Petitions have been sent to the Post Offices and Post Roads Committee from all over the country. A petition with over five hundred signers composed of Postal employees has been sent to Congressman Madden from Chicago itself. There has been no result. There is no question about his influence and power on the Committee. There is no question about the crying need of the starving, yet loyal Postal employees. There then can be no question as to the dereliction and delinquency of Congressman Martin B. Madden. He has been in Congress fourteen years and as yet has failed to effect any constructive legislation effecting the bulk of his constituents. His famous "anti-Jim-Crow Bill" was a farce. The Republican response to it was so feeble as to arouse suspicion regarding his sincerity of motive in framing the bill and his zealousness in attempting to have it passed. The twelve votes it received show conclusively that either he carries very little weight with his colleagues at Washington, or that he did not try very hard to have the bill passed. In either case Congressman Madden should be relegated to the dump heap as an undesirable. The Negro has been buffeted and exploited from one end of the country to the other and has finally been made the unwitting catspaw by which thousands of underpaid government employees have been cheated out of an adequate recompense for services rendered simply because a clever politician who has buttered his bread with their votes for fourteen years believes that "his Negrocs" are receiving all that a NEGRO is entitled to. THE NEGRO AND CHICAGO, PAST AND PRESENT By Lieut. J. E. Hawkins aged to add another team, later, when his two boys finished their schooling they joined the father and with their combined efforts the business soon grew to large proportions and with the advent of automobile trucks they disposed of their horses and bought auto trucks to replace them. In their new venture they were more than successful and obtained good paying contracts from large coal dealers for deliveries. Among their clients were such people as the Dunn Coal Co., the Consumers, and several other large employing interests. N. Bacon, 4926 Wabash Avenue, is one of Chicago's most progressive citizens and a man that is little known to the average colored man or woman. He is the father of five living children, two boys and three girls. R. Bacon was born in Missouri in 1857, and when a young man migrated to Memphis, Tennessee. When he was yet in his "teens" he entered the business of general teaming and was so successful that he not only enlarged the teaming business but later entered into the livery business. The Bacon family represents the very highest type of the industrious negro and their family slogan is "make every blow count", just how well they have succeeded is shown by the business monument that their endeavor has erected to their lasting credit, this is a large garage located at 4956 and 4958 Wabash Avenue, and not leaving unmentioned several other pieces of real estate in other locations. The family lives in a very chummy looking cottage at 4926 Wabash Avenue, about two doors North of the garage. Mr. Bacon was in the general teaming and livery business in the City of Memphis for eighteen years; during his period of business in Memphis his trade was considered to be the best in the city, and his patrons consisted of the best and most exclusive families. About twenty-five years ago he migrated to Chicago in order to give his family better educational advantages as well as finer home surroundings; when he reached Chicago he looked around for business opportunities and decided that he would continue in the teaming business. He bought a good wagon and team of horses and took contracts for general hauling and by close attention to his work he man Bacon's Garage is patronized by the exclusive whites who reside on Michigan Avenue and other streets as far East as Grand Boulevard, as well as many well to do colored people who live in this vicinity, and his SOUTHERN IMPUDENCE Boston, Mass., April 18, 1920.—According to the "ruling" of the chairman of the State Democratic executive committee of Alabama, Negro voters will not be allowed to participate in the Democratic primaries of May 11. It is condescendingly explained, however, executive committee of Alabama, Negro voters from exercising the right of suffrage in the general election in November". Upon what, if any, legal authority that impudent decision rests we are not able to say because our knowledge of Alabama primary laws is not extensive. But it would seem to be a mere usurpation of power, not to be endorsed by the courts and certainly to be condemned by the opinion of the majority of the white citizens of the country. A Democratic party that would commit such an affront to justice as this ought not to survive in Alabama or anywhere else. PUNGENT PARAGRAPHS.

RACIAL TROUBLES FORESEEN When Mr. Bacon and his sons first entered the garage business they built a small building on the rear lot which held about fifteen auto's, but within a short space of time they were forced to let a contract for the erection of a building which covers the entire space; before the building was complete request had been made for all storage space. Many customers who could not be accommodated with stalls were satisfied, to store the cars in the aisle's over night. Representing 600 Protestant churches, the Chicago Church Federation has asked the Mayor, the State's attorney and the Chief of Police as to what is being done to apprehend the perpetrators of the present bomb outrages against Negroes in this city and is insisting that more adequate protection be afforded Negro citizens. The action of the Chicago church leaders was precipitated by a letter from Reverend Charles MacArland, general Secretary of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, stating that, "Information has come to us relative to the Negro situation which seems to indicate a serious condition and one that would seem to be far more than local. I have been requested to urge that our ministers and churches take up the matter immediately." A report of the survey department of the Interchurch World Movement also indicates that inter-racial conditions in Chicago and elsewhere are far from satisfactory and call for prompt and wise action from officials and community leaders. The father and two sons are constantly in attendance and good service is the result and they employ many persons both white and colored and most harmonious relations have always existed between not only the patrons but the employees. The district is one of the best residential sections on the South Side and is made up of some of Chicago's best known business men; it is not only a fine residential district but many of the modern churches owned by the race are located in the near vicinity; Saint Mark's Church of the Methodist denomination is located at 5001 Wabash Avenue, as well as another new church which is now under construction one door North of the garage. "The Negroes are feeling very bitter about the indifference on the part of the officials," said Miss Mary McDowell, of the University Settlement and chairman of the Interracial Cooperative Committee. "We feel that pressure ought to be brought to bear upon the responsible officials, to know why they have made so few arrests. With twenty-nine bombs thrown there have been only two arrests to date. The best colored people feel that none of the white people, churches or clubs are proceeding against these things the way they ought to, and for that reason I believe that the morale of the Negroes demands that the white people speak out and say something." Mr. Bacon and family are of the retiring type and do not crave publication as they consider that they are doing nothing out of the ordinary, and do not wish to be classed as snobbish—but we decided that the general public would derive much benefit if the story of this man and his sons were given out; also that the race would get a/degree of credit of the efforts wrought by this most creditable family, and, we believe that it will act as an inspiration as well as an incentive to others of the race who will not only be inspired by their success but will receive encouragement that will carry them "over the top". A distinguished special committee has been appointed by the Chicago Church Federation to study facts and recommend action to its Committee on Racial Relations. The Committee is composed of Hon. Robert McMurdy, the Rev. A. F. Clark Father M. V. Ross, T. Arnold Hill Prof. Robert E. Park, Dr. Geo. C Hall and Dr. Frank O. Beck. By honest and faithful attention to his duties and contracts Mr. Bacon has shown to the world that a colored man can succeed and can get the patronage of those of the dominant race.
