BEATEN TO DEATH BY TEXANS READ EVERYWHERE BY EVERYBODY THAT'S ANYBODY Vol. 2.—No. 20 BEA Method SLAYS Murders Mate To Foil "Other Woman" Cheats 'Other Woman' by Sending Husband to Death. Montgomery, Ala., May 11—Mrs. Mary Scott, colored, settled the problem of the 'eternal triangle' for her self, and, her husband, wah she shot and killed her husband, Oliver Scott at her Nash St. residence here, last night. Upon her arrest at her brother's home in Washington Park, Mrs. Scott at first set up a plea of self-defense, claiming that her husband had been beating her, and that she shot at him merely to wound him, and not to kill. The Other Woman. Upon closer questioning, it was revealed that Scott had been keeping liason with another woman, whose name as yet has not been revealed. Having shadowed her husband to the home of his paramour, and obtaining entrance, Mrs. Scott, persuaded Scott to come home with her. Altercation Follows Remonstrances After they had reached home, Mrs Scott says that she began to remonstrate with her husband for his infidelity, and an altercation ensued in which he beat her most unmercifully for meddling into his affairs. Shoots in Self-Defense. She Claims. Scott's pistol was lying on a trunk in the room where the difficulty be gan, claims Mrs. Scott, and she seize the pistol and pan out of the room with it. Scott followed her, and she turning, fired the fatal shots, according to her version of the affair. Theory of Police Different. From the evidence obtained by the police, it seems likely that Scott was standing in the room before a window and was shot from the outside by Mrs Scott who was at the time in a jealous rage. Militant Minister Shoots Man Militant Minister Shoots Man New Orleans, May 10—Rev. Chas. Edward Jackson, colored, was arrested here yesterday following the shooting of Richard Parker, 1715 Erato Street. Parker, shot in the abdomen, was taken to the Charity Hospital. His condition was reported as critical. After arguing with Parker about the way Parker's brother repaired his car, police say Rev. Mr. Jackson left Parker standing in Erato Street between Baronne and Carondelet Sts. and went into his residence and returned with a revolver and shot Parker in the abdomen. The preacher surredered at the First Precinct station and was booked for shooting and dangerously wounding. "A PAPER WITH A POLICY" The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY Elaine Riot Victims Found Guilty Second Time Three of Six Held on Insurrection Charge Again Convicted of Murder. Trial of Others to Follow. Helena, Ark., May 11.—John Martin, charged with the murder of W. A. Atkins, at Hoop Spur, on the night of Sept. 30, 1919, and Albert Giles and Joe Fox, charged with implication in the riots which followed, were found guitly of murder in the first degreee in the Phillips county circuit court here yesterday. This was the second conviction for the same offense. Were Granted New Trial. The first trial of the six defendants was characterized by such undue haste and so many reversible errors that the whole country was shocked, and vigorous efforts were immediately launched to obtain a new trial for the convicted men. Defense Makes Hard Fight The defendants were represented by George W.Murphy, of Little Rock former attorney-general for the state of Arkansas, and Scipio A. Jones, colored. Several attempts were made to have the cases transferred to the Federal jurisdiction on constitutional grounds; change of venue was also so sought. Both efforts failed. Testimony Same as at First Trial The testimony offered was substantially the same as at the first trial except that the accused men, taking the stand in their own behalf, sword that their testimony at the first trial was made under duress through in- midation and coercion. To Exhaust All Legal Means When court adjourned, no motion for a rehearing or a transfer was made, but is is understood that all legal means will be exhausted to keep the convicted meen fro the electric chair. Jury Out 15 Minutes. The jury returned verdicts of "guilty" in less than 15 minutes in all three of the cases. The trial of the other three defendants will follow that of Martin, Giles, and Fox. Ignores Jim Crow Law Shot Thru Coattail Houston, Texas, May 10 -- W. D. Broker, colored, felt the breeze from a bullet which went whizzing thru his coat-tail Saturday, without injury to himself. Broker was riding a steer car at Prairie and Milan Aves., when he was ordered by L. S. Wolf, white street car operator, to move behind the segregation signs which divide the two races in Houston. Broker refused to obey the order of the white conductor, whereupon Wolf drew his gun and shot at Wolf. Charges of assault to murder and the carrying of firearms were filed in Justice Bay's court. P. Rev. A. J. Carey, The Man Of The Hour. If there was ever any doubt in the minds of the General Conference Delegates as to the need of such a man as Rev. A. J. Carey, of Illinois as its Bishop, it surely has vanished. In his response to the Fraternal Delegate Rev. J. W. Robinson, D. D. of the M. E. Church he delivered the most stirring and constructive ex-temporaneous speech of the entire session. A Leader of Men. In this day of reconstruction with the growth of new fangled ideas and new problems, in this era, when the Church is unmistakably fighting for its existence, it will not be a hard task to get the members of this August body to see the necessity of choosing A. J. Carey as one of their standard bearers. He has the force of Calvin with comparatively better educational foundation. He should not have to seek the place. If sober supersedes prejudice and moment and there is every reason to believe it will, Dr. Carey will be elected on the first ballot. "Crisis" Agent Fined And Jailed. Agent's Lawyer Intimidated. Insulted, Threatened With Violence. Mob of 200 Threaten Lawyers Of Preacher Sent to Work on County Roads; Acting Governor Answers Prayers With Threats. Jackson, Miss., May 1—With the statement that "the association wants to know whether the right of appeal to a higher court is to be denied in Mississippi by mob intimidation and sustained by the Governor's office, and whether the Negro in Mississippi has any rights which white men are bound to respect," the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made public the following self-explanatory telegrams: "From the Association, New York April 20, to Lee M.

Acceptance of this offer will aid to the connection 200,000 travelers 300 churches with their church property and 300 ministers. — The conference agreed to appoint Negro Bishops to Brazil. Arkansans To Fight "Lily White" Wing Organize Central Committee and Nominate Colored Governor. Little Rock, Ark., May 8. —Colored Republicans in Arkansas having bolted the regular organization, and named their new organization the Republican State Central Committee, met yesterday at Mosaic Temple and made it clear that J. H. Blount of Forrest City, negro candidate for governor, is in the race to stay, regardless of the decision of Secretary of State Tom J. Terral to certify Wallace Townsend as the Republican nominee. Disclaiming any desire to run the government or the party, but declaring hostilities until the Republican party gives the negro recognition, Chairman W. L. Purifoy said in his address to the committee that the negro wanted to assist in the running, that the negroes of the state will not vote for the candidates put out by the "illy whites" but will do all they can to defeat the ticket and that they are in the fight for 10 years or longer if necessary until Republican politics are so purified that a black man will be recognized on the floor as well as any man; that the white man is in the majority in this country, that the negro belongs to a class that does not want to rule, but asked for equal privileges. It was said that at the time of the convention when the negroes bolted the lily white meeting $6,000 was contributed for the campaign for the negro ticket. The following additional pledges were made at yesterday's meeting of the committee: The Lincoln League, George E. Brown, president, $5,000; Hempstead county, $1,000; Lee county, $700; Jefferson county, $500; St. Francis county, $500 Garland county, $500; Crittenden, Miller, Phillips, $250 each. A publicity committee was appointed and instructed to proceed to publish a newspaper in the interest of the campaign. The committee is composed of P. M. Caver, J. H. McConico, J. A. Hibbler, F. D. Morris, C. E. Bush and George E. Evans, with headquarters at Little Rock. tribes of wild men, still unknown J. A. LANKEFORD MS LLM World's Greatest Architect Holds Exhibit At General Conference. J. A. Langferd, M. S. The General Conference has many interesting features, many exhibits which are indicative of racial commercial development but they pale almost into insignificance when the attention is arrested by the wonderful display of Architecetural and Mechanical designs of J. A. Langford, who is perhaps without a competitor in his line. A Genius. Mr. Langford has made a specialty of church edifices, parsonages and administrative buildings. His work in this particular line of architecture has been of such superb excellence that today he is considered one of the world's best. The bishops and delegates have endorsed him as their official builder and designer. In addition to his work in America he has left some of the fine examples of his mechanical and architectural skill in practically every civilized community on both continents. A Teacher. Langford is unlike most men who become wealthy and popular on account of their rare talent or abilities. He is unassuming, democratic and philantropic and always willing to assist young folk in worthy endeavors. This act was significantly demonstrated by his willingness to accept a place on the faculty at Wilberforce University at a very small compensation. This he did in order that the young mene and women could have the benefit of the knowledge he had acquired through hard study and bitter experiences. From Tuskegee. Mr. Langford did his preparatory work at Tuskegee Institutee. Since that time he has received several Honorary and Meritorious Degrees from Foreign and Domestic Schools for the highest grades and best ideas. He has offices in all parts of the Country. The main one being 1448 Que St., N. W., Washington, D. C. METHODIST CONFERENCE SPECIAL Recomendations On Unity Approved By Both Meetings A. M. E. Z. CONFERENCE VOTES DENOMINATIONAL UNITY. Unanimously Approves Amalgamation of Three Branches. By EDWARD D. JONES, Special Staff Correspondent. Knoxville, Tenn., May 10.—The first week of the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church came to an end last night with eyes turned toward the coming week, which will mark the beginning of the real work of the conference. The greater part of the first week was taken up by routine matters of adjustment incident to the assembling of four hundred delegates and visitors. Several sections of the country, from South Africa, and the islands of the sea. Keynote Sounded on Friday. The keynote of the first week, and perhaps of the whole conference was sounded on Friday morning when the conference unanimously voted approval of the unification of the three branches of Negro Methodism in the United Methodist Episcopal Church. The conference opened Wednesday with a welcome address by Hona, C. J. Whalen, of Knoxville, on behalf of the city. Rev. J. S. French, white, of Knoxville, rendered a welcome address on behalf of the white ministers of the city. Welcome addresses were also made by Rev. E. M. Moore, Mrs. Cora Burke, and Prof. C. W. Canslor. Responses were made by Bishop Kyles, T. J. Mopping, of Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Florence Randolph. The quadrennial address was delivered Thursday evening at 8 o'clock by Bishop George L. Blackwell, and was considered by many to be the most eloquent and comprehensive message ever delivered to a general conference. In his address the Bishop elaborated among other subjects, the awakening effect upon the Negro of the World War, denominational unity, the Interchurch World Movement, the migration of Negroes to the North, and the beneficial effect of National Prohibition. On Friday the committee on Unity of Churches made its report, favoring the unification of Methodism. The report was followed by an address by Bishop Kyles in support of the report. The action taken on the report was unanimous in favor of its adoption. Election of Bishops and General Officers begins Thursday. While keen interest is manifested in the candidates for the bishopric, there is nothing of the old time pre-election excitement in the air, as it is conceded that the fight is already over, and the successful candidates are as well as elected now. Aside from the routine business of the conference, the most interesting features of the conference this week will be the All Star Concert Friday night, and the Sunday School Day parade at Logan Temple at 3:30 p. m. The bishops presiding at the different sessions of conference beginning Monday up through Saturday are, Bishops Blackwell, Warner Kyles, Bruce, Lee, and Clement. Continued en page 7. PRICE FIVE CENTS ANS Pays Supreme Price When Insulted Taken From Officers and Beaten With Sticks and Stones Until Dead. Documont, Texas, May 7.—Charles Arline, colored, of Woodville, Taylor County, Texas, lies in the morgue tonight an unrecognizable pulp of humanity, beaten to death with sticks, stones, and iron bludgeons, because he had the temerity to resent an insult coming from Wesley Mills, white, and assert that he would protect himself from violence even at the expense of Mill's life. Arrested on Threat Charge. This assertion of his intention to exert one of his natural and inalienable rights resulted in his incarceration in the city jail at Woodville on a charge of making threatening utterances. Removed For Safe-keeping News that a colored man had been rash enough to threaten to protect his own life quickly spread through the countryside, and hoping to avert a lynching, the police authorities charted an automobile and rushed Arline toward Kountze, the county seat. Intercepted On Road. Taking a shorter cut through the Texas hills, the bloodthirsty mob intercepted the party on a lonely stretch of road midway between Woodville and Kountze, and obstructing the road with logs, stopped the car, overpowered the police, and took Arline from their custody. Force To Run Gauntlet. The lynchers in their haste had forgotten their wonted length of hemp rope, so lining up on either side of the road they forced Airline to run the gauntlet while they slugged him from either side. Falls Insensible. After having won the gauntlet for a half dozen times or more, Arline fell insensible to the ground, but still breathing. The murder was consumated, when, forming a circle around him, the murderers finally beat the last breath from him. Left Lying On Road Airline was found early this morning where he had fallen, beaten into an almost unrecognizable pulp. Harvey Saunders Drug Company Opens New Drug Store Harvey Saunders Drug Company Opens New Drug Store From the appearance of the drug store opened by The Harvey Saunders Drug Company at 39th and Rhodes Avenue, it seems that a new era has been begun in the commercial field in Chicago. Drug stores of this standard are needed in Chicago and Mr. Harvey Saunders, president of the Company promises more in the near future. Everything is in harmony with the 20th Century way of doing business. Attractive windows invite one into the store and the beautiful fixtures and modern appointments, the courteous and efficient attention of a full staffs of clerks and full and well stocked cases make it certain that customers will return. The manager, Mr. J. Sherman Hill, has the greatest confidence in the patrons of the neighborhood and in his pleasant business, manner has won the appreciation of the people. The soda fountain service is excellent and this department is adequately prepared to take care of great numbers of patrons at once and still maintain the high grade of service which is to be one of the features of the Saunders stores. --- UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Those swarming idling hordes which infest and congest the sidewalks and even the streets, cluttering up entrances to Businesses at 35th and State Sts. to the extent that one actually has to know something about Foot Ball to get into the Drug Store. One million Lashes on the lascivious carrion who are among this tangled mass who persist in making a lady's passage through their massed ranks a gauntlet of terror, humiliation and embarrassment. There is much work for a traffic Cop since these good citizens will not avail themselves of free parks. Jesse Binga for having the temerity to speak about his benevolence and his "charitable character" and the ungratefulness of those whom he aided financially. If any one ever tried to "bite that feeding hand" of Binga's he would break every good tooth in his head no matter if his teeth were of Good Gold, or the expensive platinum variety. The "Executive" of the Business League who so learnedly discourses on the merits and errors of Chicago's Newspapers. He pleads ignorance on Newspaper financing. There are many other things on which he might plead ignorant without perjuring himself. Why not devote this time to the constructive work outlined so brilliantly in the Constitution of the Business League. Those white lepers who frequent houses of ill fame on one side of Grand Blvd., but, who park their Taxies on the other side in front of the homes of respectable colored people in order to keep suspicion away from their resorts. You need not take this trouble. The police seem to skillfully avoid seeing you either enter or leave. That Female Scandel Monger of 47th Street whose sole occupation is peddling and retailing "home wrecking exaggerations". Why not help the Y. W. C. A. or the Community House in your idle moments. There is something said about the Devil and an Idle Brain. Perhaps you are exempt, however. Meridian Blames Chicago And Boll Weevil For Census. seen part of Meridian, which was credited by a recent census bulletin with a population gain of only 151, or 0.6 per cent, for the decennial period are not altogether pleased with the census bureau. They feel that the bureau has been more stingy than accurate in its handling of the Meridian population count. Yet they seem disposed on the whole to take the philosophical view of it. "There will not have to be any recount," opines the Meridian Dispatch, which declares that the Meridianites have a right to be proud of the census showing that theirs is "the biggest city in the state." The failure to register any considerable gain is explained in two ways. The advent of the boll weevil, for example is charged with subtracting 2000 from the city's population. To the emigration of negroes to the North is attributed the loss of an additional "several thousand." — "Every hotel in Chicago," asserts the Dispatch, "even to this day, is principally manned with Meridian negroes." the death, but the state was unable to prove that the baby had ever lived, and the case was nolle pressed.

"NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL OI I HAVE always been under the impression that white people would fight to get away from colored folk as if they were something unclean, but, wonder of the ages, last Saturday night, I saw a gentleman of the purest bourbon blood, accompanied by his gentle, though profane wife, actually beat, pummel, and exert other manifestations of violence upon the doorkeeper at the Entertainers, all to the end that they might be allowed to agitate their lingerie, or in vulgar pariance "shake their chemise" amongst the carefree throngs of colored folk there. Yea, verily, wonders never cease. WHILE wending my way along the crowded Stroll the other night and some hands a little sheet designed to meet, I think, it said, a patent need, though it was not stated in any such clear English. The name of the publisher appeared in type almost as bold as the name of the tiny sheet to say nothing of the number of times this name was appended to poems, articles, etc. elsewhere. I noticed that the same maudlin melange of words cluttered up the space, as in another sheet with which the publisher is connected. The pronoun "I" was the feature character as the pen spluttered on. I asked a theatrical man had he been inflicted with this latest diapason of the aged and doting "Ego Scribe" and he wearily answered that he had and told me that it was alright, and asked one was "harmless" and probaby many of a charitable nature would help him for what he, The Ego Scribe thought he had been and still childishly thinks he still is. KEEP a little note book and make my statistics as I go. I have been watching since we have had a little warm weather the necks of the "fair dolls" as they go hither and yon on business and pleasure. I have been checking up the number of necks that bear the tell-tale mark that the water does not very often get below the line of the chin and that the soap when used was concentrated on the "front." I only mention this that you may join the interesting pastime of collecting data. Look 'em over when you sit behind them in the street cars and you will see the line that "water shall not pass." T WAS necessary to call up Chicago's "leading" colored hotel the other day. I got the number alright. be- cause the drawing voice told me that it was the hotel. I asked a question and then I waited, I asked again and waited a longer time. I THE CHICAGO WHIP knew I had the connection because I heard the same voice informing someone that she could not go to-night because she had no new dress. I waited until the society belle was at leisure and repeated my question. She did not know, of course. I had lost 25 minutes, missed my man, lost some money. Oh well we can't have everything. AFTER Church last Sunday I sought to quench my thirst with some of this "doubtful variety" at the De Luxe. When I entered I thought something had happened when I saw the crowd which extended to the handsome swing doors on the street. I tried to get to the bar to get "my bottle" but no use. The halt, the maimed and yea verily, blind were too intent on getting little blue tickets from a man behind the counter. I saw the old blind man give his precious possession to some nearby devotee to read. He read it alright and skilfully gave the old man his ticket and started to put the old man's ticket in his own pocket. The whining "please help the blind" changed to "gimme my ticket you d—rascall". You can't fool 'em all the time. Talking about "seeing blue" why even a blind man can do that sometime. TWEEDLEDEE & TWEEDLEDUM A man and wife at New Bern, N. C. who beat the woman's grandmother to death and were indicted for murder, got off with a fine of $5, while a colored man caught carrying home a small amount of whisky was sentenced to hard labor on the public roads for six months.

They want the long service that Munsingwear is sure to give them; they want a perfect fitting garment that will not bind or bag; a garment so smooth and soft that it is a real comfort to the skin. That's why they ask for Munsingwear. Munsingwear gives the wearer a long service of continued satisfaction; it washes well. It wears well, resulting in real economy to the purchaser. The satisfaction with the fit, durability, the washability and the comfort to the skin will continue throughout its life. If you once wear Munsingwear, you will always want to wear it; it's true satisfaction in underwear. That's why we prefer to sell Munsingwear. It means SATISFIED and REGULAR customers. There is a style and fabric for you no matter the size of your person or purse. Cool, sheer, summery garments in fabrics of fine quality, at prices that are right. Don't say, "Underwear." Always ask for Munsingwear. WRITERS MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY Incorporated under laws of the State of Illinois. THE BEST HEALTH AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE Live agents wanted in every city in Illinois.

Detroit, Mich, May 4.—With a Negro population of over 30,000 and approximately 100 Negroes coming to the city daily, the problem of the Children's Aid Society has been greatly augmented, according to Leon W. Frost, secretary. Accordingly he has dispatched letters to every Negro minister in the city asking for cooperation in order that the moral conditions in order that the moral conditions in the city may not deteriorate. Housing conditions are so acute that many families are placing their children in temporary homes until they secure adequate living quarters. Mr. Frost has asked the ministers to send in lists of responsible families who will be willing to help out temporarily by affording shelter for these children. They will be paid the regular rates, ranging from $5.50 a week for children from six weeks to six months; $5.00 for these children aged from six months to three years; and $4.50 for three years and older. The cleanliness and moral atmosphere of these homes must be excellent, the pastors are informed. In the care of the Negro children the society pursues its policy of keeping the families together whenever possible. It does not encourage the adoption of children but maintains boarding homes in preference, with the hope that patients will thus be able to claim their children when economic conditions make it possible.

JOIN THE AMERICAN LEGION Enthusiastic men and expectant women, under the auspices of the George L. Giles Post 87, crowded the Community Service Auditorium last Thursday evening to hear Colonel Milton J. Foreman, Illinois State Commander of The American Legion. Mr. Foreman did not arrive until 10:00 p. m., but the interval between the close of the business meeting at 9:00 p. m., and the coming of the State Commander was taken up by a very interesting program. Little Miss Chilton pleased the audience very much by her singing. Col. Johnson made an appeal for membership into the re-organized Eighth; Capt. Lawson, 10 members, into the American Legion. Rev. Bradden, who was very popular with the men and officers of the 770th and 376th infanties, received warm applause as he took the rostrum. His admonition "Kick in, boys," which closed his appeal for the men's joining the Legion met great response. Col. Otis B. Duncan made a submitted address, strengthened by an unusual literary background. His "American History Will Not Write" was a powerful review of the deeds of the Old Eighth and of the pernicious pro- paganda of the white Americans in France. Hence it was that when Colonel Foreman made his appearance, the latter came into an atmosphere charged with hostility. Mr. Foreman read and explained the Constitution of the Legion; but the tried Colonel did not touch the pulse of his audience until his sonorous voice rang out "We will change the prevalent un-Americanism of the day. The un-American American must not stand. We will make them Americans or make them corpses." Thus ended, amid great applause, a very successful meeting of the Post,—a meeting which was a just reward to Mrs. James F. Lawson, President of the Women's Auxiliary to the George L.

The American Giants won the game from the Chicago Giants 8 to 3. It seemed from the start it would be an even break between the two teams, but some very bad decisions from the field umpire was handed to the Chicago Giants. He called one of the American runners safe on third when Green was waiting with the ball in his hand to tage him out when he got there. Then on back of that a Chicago Giant Runner was stealing second Dixon threw the ball to De Moss and De Moss dropped the ball, tagged the runner with his open hand. The umpire yelled "you're out." Brown of the American Giants pitched the first ve innings and Johnson finished the game. The Chicago Giants played a good game, but not what was expected; a little more team work and pep. Walter Ball pitched the first three innings but gave way to Taylor who did good work the last part of the game. Chicago Giants American Giants W. Green—3 b. Melorchon—3 b. Winston—l. f. De Moss—2 b.

Jackson Hurlers Are Mauled Hard (Special to the Whip.) Cash is Hurt and Successors Are Un- able To Halt Stars. Detroit, Mich., May 10th. — Jaxon Independents of Jackson Mich., were slaughtered by the Detroit Stars, Sun- day at Mack Park, before a record crowd, 23 to 0. Cach, the mainstay of the jack-on pitching corps, was injured by a pitched ball in the second inning and was forced to retire from the game. The Detroiters proceeded to maul his successors to all parts of the park and surrounding territory. Ted Blount's employees amassed a total of 21 hits during the afternoon several of which were extra basers. Hewitt helped himself to five clean safeties out of five times at bat. Lyons again shone brightly at bat, knocking out a triple and a homer, the latter being a drive to deep center, the ball staying in the park. Wesley added a four baser to his string, knocking the ball far out of the park. The Detroit pitchers allowed but one of the visitors to reach third base. The Stars will tackle a real foe for five games, beginning Saturday next the Cuban stars. Howard Defeats Hampton 4 to 3 By Charles H. Williams. HAMPTON, VA., May 12. — The Howard Baseball team defeated Hampton for the second time this season — 4 to 3 — in a 11-inning game. The baseball fans witnessed the most exciting game ever played on the Hampton Institute diamond. One sensational play followed another. Five double-plays were made during the game, four by Hampton and one by Howard. The features of the game were the playing of Hampton's in-field and the pitching of Brown for Howard. Long, playing shortstop for Hampton was easily the star of the game. Several times he robbed the Howard batters of bits and twice turned them into double-plays. Brown's pitching was unusually effective with men on bases. Umpire: A. L. Jacken of Newport News. Burwell to Run Againts Navy Syracuse, N. Y., May 10th.—Burwell, the speedy track man of the Syracuse University, accompanied the Syracuse track team to Annapolis last Tuesday to compete in the dual meet between his school and the Naval Academy. A little doubt has been made in reference as to whether or not they will allow him to compete on the Navy campus, but nevertheless here is wishing him luck. If he does not compete, it means a loss of at least ten points to the New York state team. 10,000 Agents Wanted TO LEARN HAIR AND BEAUTY CULTURE Hortona Guaranteed Hair Grower AND Beauty Preparations The Goods That Put The Tone in Beauty For Particulars Write The EVELYN HORTON MFG. CO. 4188 West Bell Place ST. LOUIS, MO. Negro Athletes Series By Charles P. Howard. INTERVIEWING HOWARD P. DREW, VETERAN RUNNER AND HOLDER OF THE VARIOUS WORLD RECORDS. On interviewing Mr. Drew, I found him deliving into his trunk preparatory to a trip to Kansas City, where he expects to participate in a meet to be held by the Colorado High Schools and Colleges of Missouri and Kansas. He was kind enough to permit me to ask him a few questions relative to his athletic career, including his defeat last Saturday in the Drake Relay by Sholtz of Missouri, and Colby of Iowa. How do you feel, Mr. Drew, after the big event of last Saturday? Very well mentally and otherwise; a bit disappointed, of course. However, am not in good shape as I will be later on, on account of the sciatic nerve in my left leg, which has been bothering me for some time. Do you expect to meet Mr. Sholtz and Mr. Colby again this season? I meet Colby next Saturday (meaning in the Drake-Iowa Dual Meet at Iowa City). I will meet, Colby also in the State Meet, and later on in the Big Ten Meet at Chicago. I will meet Shuizu in the Missouri Valley Meet at Ames and in the Big Ten Meet and there is a strong possibility that we will meet again in the Olympic tryouts prior to the selection of the American Team which will go to Antwerp. How long have you been running? It is the beginning of my evening with you. How old are you? I am twenty-nine now, thirty the 25th of June. That is to say that I am far older than any man running today. Am the father of two children, of which I am very good, and have some hope that they will be runners. The oldest, a boy, is twelve years old, and every time he sees me, thinks he can outrun his Dad and is not satisfied until we have a race and is shown. What are some of the past big events in which you have participated? I won the Canadian Championship in Canada in 1911. In 1912 I participated in the Olympic Games in Sweden. My first big meet was in the Irish-American Athletic Club Games at Madison Square Garden, New York. At that time I was given a seventh footed, which is one of only three races I have ever run in my life in which I was ever given a handcap. How did you happen to get started in the running game? We used to have athletic games in the grammar schools in Springfield, Mass., and every Fourth of July, the City of Springfield would hold a contest for the residents of Springfield. Then when in high school, it is needless to say, I participated in athletics; and various Universities, such as Yale, Harvard and Dartmouth, would hold Intercolastic meets, in which I would compete. To whom do you owe the most for your development? The one to whom I probably owe the most in my development as an athlete, in Charles Rice, who gave me such competition. He raced me to a dead-bench of 9 4.5 seconds one time. He not third in the Olympic tryouts held at Cambridge, June 8, 1912. Crisp was second and I was first. Rice was commissioned a Lieutenant during the late war and lost his life fighting in France. In what particular events did you compete largely? I have raced in practically every distance from 15 yards to 220 yards, and hold most of the intermediate records, that is between 15 and 220 yards. The World's Record in the 100 Yard Dash is 9.35 seconds, which is held by myself. Do you feel you will be able to beat Sholtz when you meet him again? I feel that I will win when I meet him in the Missouri Valley Meet and at the Big Ten Meet, when it becomes warmer weather and my less get in better shape. It was the same in 1918. He beat me at the Drake Relays in the 100 Yard Dash, and later I beat him in both the 100 Yard Dash and in the 220. How about Colby? I feel very sure that I will be able to turn the tables on him next Saturday. You are planning on making a trip to Kansas City this week, are you not? Yes, to attend a meet to be held by the Colored High Schools and Colleges of Missouri and Kansas, which they hope to be their first Annual Meet. They have asked me to come down because I was so long in the game, and they wished me to run, also to assist in the running of the meet. 'Old Chocolate', Greatest Pennsylvania Giants Lose of Negro Fighters. Opening Game. Kid McCoy, once one of the greatest of fighters gives all the present day crop of glove pushers full credit for their achievements, but like others of the old school of ringmen, McCoy cannot help but add interest to every fanning bee on fistic affairs by recalling some of the old-timers whose work in the wake of the resin impressed him. Speaking of the veterans recently, McCoy dwelled at some length on George Godfrey, better known to some of the old guard as "Old Chocolate." Godfrey has passed to the great beyond. He never met McCoy, but the "Kid" is perfectly familiar with his ring achievements and always maintains Godfrey was one of the best colored men the ring game ever produced. Godfrey was a fighter. He knew but little of the scientific end of the game, but he was as game as a pebble and took on nearly all of the "big time" crowd, although he once refused to meet John L. Sullivan after having challenged Sullivan repeatedly. Godfrey's ring career drew to an almost abrupt close. He was given a terrific beating by Joe Choynski at Coney Island on October 31, 1892. The mill went 15 rounds, and Choynski punched Godfrey until it appeared the latter would cave in. He finally took the count. On May 28, 1894, he got another lacing from Peter Maher, and then he did decide to quit. Godfrey was a hustler, and he was perhaps one of the most thrifty of the colored fighters. He worked in a butcher shop in a Boston market during the day and trained at night. He also worked at night on the foundation of his home. When the house was completed he married a white woman. He settled down and for years ran a boxing school and gym. His patrons were fistic fans whom he had become acquainted with during his ring days. Kid McCoy declared Godfrey was one of the most wicked punchers the game has ever known, although it was quite difficult for him to land because his judgment of distance was sadly off color. But "Old Chocolate" was strong and when one of his punches did find its mark, it was nearly always accompanied by bone crushing force. McCoy maintain Godfrey would have made a barrel of money in this day and age because he was a rough and ready miller the kind that present day fight fans complain are so scarce. Tate Stars Hold Lively Practice About eighteen men trying out for positions on the Tate Stars baseball team reported at Woodland Hills last Sunday for practice. They manifested throughout the entire practice that any team that heats them will have to step the pace to do it. Their pitchers seem to be in almost midseason form. Their catchers show wonderful ability for so early in the season. The infield looks tight as a snare drum and the outfield is fast and accurate. DeBoe seems to be a very capable coach and understands the finer points of the game. Under his tutorship the team should reach its zenith. Other Sporting News on Page Three.

ORTS B et Pennsylvania Giants Lose Opening Game. Philadelphia, Pa., May 10th.—The Pennsylvania Giants are getting in form after opening the season Thursday, April 29, with the Madison Stars at 34th and Reed streets, losing in a loosely played game 15 to 3. It was the first time all the men had met together. Some of the out-of-town men arrived the day of the game. Manager Victory began the teaching of teamwork and took the boys down to Chester last Saturday, where they performed in midseason form, winning 7 to 6. The Chester Giants and their 5000 fans had planned to open their new park with a victory, but the brilliant playing of the Pennsylvania Giants upset their wishes. Little Pop Simmons had everything his own way, having ten strikes outs and four assists. With airtight, support, Capt, Wick's playing at third and his stickwork, Dallard's pegging, Perkins' hitting and base running and Williams home run, the all-around playing of the team featured. With two out in the ninth Banks pegged to the plate from deep center, saving the game. Score: Penna.....2 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 —7 1 4 1 Chester.....0 0 1 2 0 1 0 —6 5 2 Dates Announced for Final Olympic Trials. New York, May 10th.--The junior and senior track and field championship events of the National Amateur Athletic Union will be held at the Harvard Stadium July 16 and 17. The events will serve as a final try-out to select the Olympic track and field team. At these games will be seen many of the colored track and field stars, including Sol Butter, Howard P. Drew, Roy Morse, Harry Martin, Burwell, Gourdin, Williams, Joe Rainey, Reed, Rodgers, Taylor, Burr, Shelbourne and Pete White. Plans are also being made to conduct a pentathlon championship, which also will be designated official Olympic tryout. The event probably will take place near Chicago on a date to be determined later. Cross country trials are not contemplated by the committee. Royal Giants Won Two from Lincoln Giants. New York, May 8. The Lincoln Giants lost both games of a doubleheader to the Royal Giants at the Catholic Protectory grounds. The score of the first contest was 5 to 2. In the second game the Royal Giants won out in the ninth inning, 5 to 4. by tallying two runs. "The Store That S THE STAT FURNITURE HOME OUT We solicit your business and c any other furniture store in Chicago By "Full of Pep" Drew Fails to Appear in Penn Relay Races. Philadelphia, Pa., May 11th. Howard Drew, premier runner, failed to appear for the Penn Relay Races. Much disappointment prevailed. It was reported that his trainer advised against his running for fear that he would hurt his leg again as he had strained a tendon in his last race at Des Moines last week. Burwell of Syracuse won out over Taylor of Penn, Perry of Howard and Martin of Pittsburgh in the Class B Relay. Banks and West of the Washington High showed unusual form and were awarded the prize but afterward relinquished it when they admitted that one of the team dropped the baton. Courdin, the colored runner of Harward won third place in the hop, step and jump event. Many other colored athletes from high schools and grammar schools of the section showed form and won places. Morehouse Swamps Atlanta University. Athantha, Gia., May 6th — In a first and well fought game Morehouse College trimmed the Athantha Bulldogs by the score of 6 to 2. Both teams were cager for the fray with the Athantha nine the favorite, but the effective hurling of the tigers big right hander proved too much for the Crimson and gray. A great crowd witnessed the contest and saw the brilliant contest between the rival moundmen. Cade was chosen to do the hurting for Morehouse. Bock pitchers started strong with both teams playing airight ball until the sixth inning when the Tigers elicited the game by sending over two runs. Up to the sixth inning only one man had reached the sack of the Tigers for Bryant was in rare form and he held his opponents to one hit until the sixth when he was touched for one more. In all he only yielded five hits while Cade was driven from the box in the seventh. Frume and Henderson who replaced him were driven to all house nine was a great surprise to the admirers of the Crimson team for they were the former city champions of last year and the way that they cracked under the strain clearly showed that they were outclassed by their speedier opponents, who excelled in every department of the game. Lincoln Loses to Madison. The Lincoln University nine lost a hard six-inning game to the Madison Stars at 34th and Reed streets the final score being Madison 2. Lincoln University 1.

White Muderer Tried in Arkanas. Killed Colored Man With Shot Gun , Little Rock, Ark., May 8.—The ‘case against John Kelley, a white farmer of Brushy Island, charged with first degree murder for the kil- ling of “Shorty” Williams, colored, -February-4,did not.go to the jury pe after 6 o'clock yesterday even- ing. After the jury had deliberated 15 minutes without reaching a ver- dict, Judge Wade excused the jurors until this morning, when they will ‘resume deliberations. - Williams was killed about noon on February 4. On the afternoon of February 5, Mrs. John Lee telephoned to the sheriff’s office about the killing, but officers were unable to reach the scene until the follow- ‘ing morning. They found the murder- ed man’s body on the porch of his cabin, His wife sat just inside the door, She had been afraid to touch the body or to leave the house. Dr. S. P. Vaughter, coroner, accompanied ee Sheriffs W. F. Hobbs and Clifton Evans to the scene. Both Evans and Hobbs testified that Kelley told them that he had fired the first shot. Dr. Vaughter and Frank Van- denburg, owner of the farm on which both Kelley and Williams were share- croppers, testified that they had not heard Kelley say that he had fired the first shot, but that he might have done so. Kelley, on the stand yesterday, said that Williams had fired first shot. He pleaded self-defense. He testified that the colored man became angry and cursed him and threw a stone at him, when he refused ‘to give him some meat, The houses ‘of Kelley and Williams were about a quarter-mile apart. Kelley said he seized his rifle and followed Wil- liams to his house. When the Wil- liams got within calling distance of his house, he asked his wife to bring his shotgun, A gun battle took place between the white man and Williams at a distance of about 211 yards, Various witnesses testified yester- ‘day as to what shots had been shot from the rifle or the shotgun, They also testified to a gum tree being in the path of a bullet, of the loca- tion of blood, and various other marks, which might prove whether Kelley had shot in self-defense. Kelley admitted that he had killed another colored man some years ago. He said he had some difficulty with the colored man, following his mar- riage to ihs (Kelley's) mother. Kel- ley also admitted having served a term on the county farm for grand larceny. Most of the witnesses for \the defense were residents of Brushy ‘Island.

Delegates Ratify Reports of the Committee to Bring the A. M. E., A. M. E. Z. and C. M. E. Churches under One Caption. After a hot deate for over two hours the delegates to the A. M. E. General Conference at St. Louis, unanimously adopted that part of the report of the Joint Committee' of the three Great Branches of Methodism, which recommended that the Conference ratify the report before submitting it to the members of the various churches. Bishop Coppin Presides. As this was one of the most important questions to arise during this convention, all of the Bishops were on hand with eyes and ears wide open, to sample the sentiment after a debate for more than 1 hour, which consisted of a sort of home-made desire (on the part of some of the Brethren) fo recredit for making the motion in behalf of the Report. Bishop L. J. Coppin was presiding at this meeting and despite criticism from Bishop Heard on the Procedure proved himself a Veteran and Master. Bishop Smith on Platform. The session of the following days were of great importance and called for much strong deating from many if not all the members. Bishop C. S. Smith of Detroit in response to an article recommending his retirement from the Bench chanlengled the Author to write a document to equal his Congressional Edict At the opening of the Convention Bishop Smith spoke at length of what he had contributed to the Church Discipline. The Bishop created laughter in taking his seat when he began to step pertly and said "I challenge the author of this article to ever step with such cadence." Dr. Tanner A Genius As Organizer. A. H. The most hopeful and encouraging sign of race and church advancement is the apparent desire on the part of the delegates to elect their strongest and most capable men to office. Rev. C. M. Tanner, D. D. Withoct his own solicitation has been selected as the most logical and fitting candidate for the all important office of Secretary of Missions. Remarkable Record. Dr. Tanner has given 27 years of his life to the Church. He has pastored in practically every part of the States. His record for organizing and raising funds for Churches that to all practical purposes had ceased to function is an enviable one. His greatest tangible achievements are—The cancellation of the $30,000 mortgage of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church in Washington, D. C., The remodeling and building of the parsonage of Big Bethel A. M. E. Church in Atlanta, The raising of over $200,-000 for the Church as Secretary of the Tract Society under Bishop Grant. A Brilliant Scholar Dr. Tanner is a scholar of no mean caliber. It is said that he is thoroughly acquainted with the statesmen and representatives of foreign countries as well as the creeds of the Church. The convention will never have any regrets for giving this Christian Scholar Worker and stateman whatever he asks. The Race Riots In American Cities. The race riots in American cities are, strange as it may appear, being watched by the blacks of Africa. M. Ellenberger writes in the Jocral des Missions that the Negroes of Sierra Leone are much excited over recent occurrences in America, so much so that, when passing the coast in a French steamer, a notice was put up by the captain requesting that passengers refrain from going ashore at stopping points lest they be maltreated. The fires of a lynching bee in Georgia may spread a good deal farther than those who kindled them expected. J. B. H. Rev. John Harmon, D. D. "You can't put things over by wearing out your trousers in a swivel chair," is the slogan of the Rev. John Harmon, a real live Georgia Peach. He is candidate for the editorship of the Southern Christian Recorder, one of the official organs of the A. M. E. Church. To Make It Pay. Dr. Harmon is a man who does things. He has had a deal of experience in the publishing business and knows the game. He promises, if honored with the place, to secure 25,000 subscribers and sufficient legitimate advertising to put the paper on a paying basis. This would relieve the General Treasurer of quite an expense. The more merely for the upkeep could be used for caged ministers, and causes.

St. Louis, Mo., May 10—The first week of the general conference of the A. M. E. Churches endd last night with many interesting developments. It was officially announced that the A. M. E. church was the first denomination shown to have exceeded its quota of subscriptions toward the fund of the Interchurch World Movement. The Church reported subscriptions amounting to $300,000 or $88,000 over its allotted amount. Failure of the quadrennial episcopal address on May 3 to mention the Interchurch World Movement brought forth loud protests. A motion was presented insisting that the bishops prepare a supplemental report setting forth their views regarding the movement.

Those who are acquainted with this tireless worker know that he never fails, that he has the coveted capacity for putting over big things. All that he asks is a chance. Whether the church is tired of paying out unnecessary funds will be seen by the way that the delegates cast their ballots. The financial report showed receipts for the last four years of $1,553,700, an increase of $202,900 over the preceding four years. The contributions for missions in the last quadrennium amounted to $252,800. Bishop W. H. Beckett, of South Africa, andohert et shrdu mh mh h Africa and other speakers urged that a campaign be launched for $5,000,-000 to be used in preparing missionaries for foreign fields. Delegates from the Fifth District brought with them sentiment for the removal of Bishop H. Blanton Parks, of Chicago. Complaints were registered against the bishop alleging that he has been derelict in calling and attending meetings, and that the bishop shows a general lack of interest in the district.

The reason given for such a recommendation was that a number of colored women employees who worked on securities would be benefited by the increase.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. THE IRISH REPUBLIC AND THE NEGRO THE IRISH REPUBLIC AND THE NEGRO The Government and people of the United States are evincing a persistent tendency to intermeddle into the domestic affairs of Great Britain as regards the Irish Question. Eamon De Valera, self-styled "President of the Irish Republic", and a fugitive from justice in England, has been royally welcomed and acclaimed a hero in America. So-called "Irish Liberty Bonds", although valueless, as a giltedge investment, and backed by no apparent security other than maudlin sentiment, are being sold in thousands. Public officials in high places are openly encouraging rebellion and sedition against a friendly power. George Washington's long followed policy of remaining strictly out of European politics has been rudely forsaken. BUT IT IS AN ILL WIND THAT BLOWS NOBODY GOOD. If American agitation succeeds in winning independence for Ireland, a precedent will have been set for the American Negro. Unable to secure justice at home, the Negro will be able to appeal to Europe, Asia, and Africa for aid in fighting his just cause. Such a course of procedure would have met with little success in the past, because heretofore the United States has kept its hands strictly off foreign quarrels, and has tolerated no interference in her own. But once she has committed herself to the cause of Oppressed Humanity Abroad, she must expect some interesting developments at Home. England, smarting under the loss of her Irish territory, will be glad to insist that the Negro receives the same degree of Justice that America demanded for Ireland. France, mindful of her debt to the American Negro, and unable to forget the hundreds of black graves on Flanders' fields, will fly to the aid of the Black Valiants Who Barred the Germans from Paris. Asia, who stands at America's Back Door, already feeling the sting of American hatred for any complexion darker than Alabaster, will make her fight and the Negro's ONE AND INDISSOLUBLE. Africa, Great Africa, the Sleeping Giant of the World, will arouse herself from her Caucasian-imposed lethargy, will stretch forth her hands across the Atlantic, and demand justice for the sons and daughters of her bosom who were so ruthlessly snatched away two hundred and fifty years ago. Irish Independence, as such, matters not a farthing's worth to the American Negro, but as a means to the end of placing his cause before the Conscience of Humanity, American Agitation for Irish Independence is a blessing from the skies. Irish Independence is almost sure to come, and just as surely as it comes, it will be due in a large measure to American agitation. It will then be the solemn duty of Negro Leaders, Negro Propagandists, and the Negro Press, with one supreme, collateral UNITED EFFORT, to carry the cause of the American Negro to the Bar of Justice of the Civilized World. LONG LIVE THE IRISH REPUBLIC! DISCUSSION VERSUS CONSTRUCTION In by-gone days on the Mississippi River it was noticed of a certain diminutive side-wheeler, which boasted a large brass whistle, much out of proportion to the size of the boat, that whenever the whistle blew, which was loud, long and often, the paddle wheels stopped turning, and the little boat remained stationary the while. The boilers did not make steam enough to blow such a loud whistle and make progress up river at the same time. The American Negro has so long been blowing his showy brass whistle of empty discussion, that the paddle wheels of construction have been stayed. His verbosity is proverbial. His lack of constructive, organized effort is apparent. He will stop on street corners, in restaurants, barber shops, pool rooms, drug stores, in fact wherever he can get a hearing and elaborate at length the most trivial topic. He will consume hours in the most solemn conclaves of church, state, fraternity, or society, upon a point of order. A dispute over a question of procedure has disrupted many an organization when the --- THE CHICAGO WHIP point at issue had no relation to the aims or the policy of the body politic. His love for elaborate form and ceremony and his weakness for high-sounding titles and splendid regalia have crowded from his mind the importance of constructive effort. The ringing resonance of his naturally oratorical voice has deceived him into belief that words are greater than deeds. His splendid physique which enables him to wear striking regalia to advantage has filled him with the deception that appearances mean more than actual values. No race has yet become great by reason of its orators and entertainers. Such attainments come as the capstone, and not as the foundation of racial greatness. The boilers of the Negro's economic engine are not large enough to make steam enough to propel him against the ever increasing resistance of competition and race prejudice and at the same time blow such a loud whistle of ostentatious oratory. His present crying need is fewer words and more deeds. All of his steam is needed for the purposes of propulsion in the form of intelligent organization. If so much of his strength had not been thus criminally wasted, the Negro would not be today the Great American Beggar. Instead of praying for alms in the voice of a mendicant, he could voice his demands in unwavering tones. If he had been economically organized, Booker Washington's dinner with Theodore Roosevelt would have been accepted by white America as a conference between equals, and not as an instance of gracious condenscension on one hand, and grateful acceptance on the other. Likewise, the thunderings of Monroe Trotter and the bitter shrieks of DuBois would sound more like the demands of a strong man than the wailings of a peevish child. Shut off That Blast of Inane Bickering and Empty Small Talk! Tear down that Glint and Glare of Showy Brass and Tinsel! Direct all Your Effort Toward Propulsion! Thanks be to God, a NEW NEGRO is appearing, An Iconoclast, An Idol Breaker, who cares not for sounding brass or tinkling cymbal, who has Sworn over the Ashes of his Fathers and at the Temples of his Gods, that the days of the Pompous, Strutting, Comedian, and the Idle, Bickering Small-Talker, ARE NUMBERED.

Mr. Motts has personally es- corted to the door young bloods who came out to "whopp it up". He had no "bounchers" but employed "door men and floormen" to look the au- dience over and impart to him any misconduct on the part of employees or guest, and when occasion demand ed that a person be ejected from the premises he would do it in a firm but gentle manner. The next day the pen- itent culprit returned and made apol- ogy for his misconduct. Previous to the opening of the Pekin in Theatre by Robert T. Motts, no place of amusement of any description had been in existence in the tertiary given over to colored people, but this amusement house had not long been open before Moving Picture Theatres and Nickle Shows commenced to spring up along State Street, like mushrooms over night. The Pekin Music Hall was indeed a great success — not only from the standpoint of a paying investment but it afforded opportunities unknown for the trying out of "professional talent" and many performers who received their chance at the "Pekin" became headliners and eventually got the pick of "big time". The crowds became larger each night and finally it became the custom for all to attend the Pekin at least once a week. One thing that gave the Pekin a boost was the "downtown theatres" discriminating and charging exorbitant prices for a seat, then again, the majority of our young men and women worked out in service and reached home too late to dress in time for the "downtown shows", and the Pekin being close by gave it the preference. White people of the locality commenced to patronize the playhouse in large numbers and the reports they gave to friends living in other parts of the city attracted many more. White performers would visit this theatre after the downtown shows were over and make it a favorite recreating place. May Erwin, another music comedy stars came to this place to get new situations and stole many of the song hits of this house. One of the early hits was "Slim Henderson", a comedian who could develop a laugh a second from the audience, he was followed by "Boots Allen", who later doubled with "Andy Tribble", Andy Tribble became one of the leading stars of several well known shows, the "Red Moon", Cole and Johnson, and Ernest Higan shows not to mention many others, and as a "wrench impersonator" he had no competitors. Lottie Grady, and Nettie Lewis, two soubrettes owe their "coming out" to the Pekin Music Hall, and it is needless to say how well these ladies have made good as they are known to the amusement loving public from 'coast to coast'. Carrie Stithe, was another dashing favorite and a product of this establishment, also Elvira Johnson, who had no equal in the rendition of those croning and shouting melodies of the South, she too finally reached big time and helped to it. The Pekin Music Hall had been opened but a few months when Mr. Motts began to realize that he would have to enlarge the house, so he called in a contractor and told him what was wanted and plums were drawn for a treatise to seat about eight hundred people, the construction of what later was known as the Pekin Theatre was undertaken the following Spring. Cook and Stevens, originated and developed their big act of "The Chinese and the Coon" on the rostrum of this theatre, this act became one of the biggest hits in vaudeville and was considered to be one of the most original nets developed by the race Persons who saw this act once never got over the laugh it gave them, us drawing cards the Pekin had none that could excel them. (Next article Pekin Theatre.) Flanders Fields In those days the amusement loving public cared only for the pure and legitimate acts, and anything that savored of suggestion was not tolerated. Harmony and Melody was the song standard and anything savoring of the obscene was quickly resented by the audience as well as the management. The public came to the Pekin for the purpose of enjoying a good entertainment and Mr. Motte saw to it that they got what they paid for. (With apologies to John McCrae.) In Flanders fields where poppies blow Beneath the crosses, row on row, We blacks an endless vigil keep— Yea, we, the dead, can never sleep— Ingratitude has made it so. Why are we here? Why did we go From loving homes, that need us so? Was it for naught we gave our lives, On Flanders fields? Ye blacks who live, to you we throw The torch; be yours to face the foe At home; and ever hold it high. Fight for the things for which we die That we may sleep, where poppies The waiters were quiet and gentlemanly in the taking of orders and no employee of the house was allowed to mingle with the guest or receive treats, Mr. Motts explained that this was done for the purpose of keeping discipline.

This is the greatest loss of lives yet reported. HEALTH HINTS. By Sylvander Trice, M. D. Anthrax Some of the symptoms are chilliness, rigor, faintness, pain and swelling of the limbs, loss of appetite, distress in region of the stomach, mectorism, vomiting and diarrhea. There may also be bloody stools, excessive thirst. The person is usually conscious till the end. Within the last ten days there have been five cases of anthrax reported in Chicago with two deaths. Anthrax known as Carbunculus Contagious Spenic Fever and Myxosis Intestinalis is a specific and highly infectious disease. It is most common among vertebrate animals and is communicable to man. It appears as an acute intoxication, usually of a restricted part but later spreads over the entire body. Anthrax is caused by the bacillus anthraeis. It is primarily a disease of animals but occurs among humans by direct innoculation or indirectly by eating or handling flesh of an animal that recently died of the disease or by inhaling the dust or dirt contaminated with bacillus anthraeis. Persons working around cattle should be on guard and see that they are not exposed to infection by abrasions of the skin. The Negro Worker Charlotte Observer: The Nation's Business gets down to the truth in the case of the negro and labor unrest when it says that Southern farmers, in the mass, have not yet realized the size of the bill that ignorant and shiftless labor yearly forces them to pay. They take it as they find it, regarding it as a tool, shaped and finished, however poor. It should be regarded as a force, capable of new developments and applications. North or South, the industrial leaders of the country are more and more thinking of their employees in human rather than racial terms; Slav, Italian on negro, owner and worker must prosper together. As a race, when let alone, the negro is loyal to his employer; but like other ignorant folk, he is credulous, easily deceived, and susceptible of being led. With proper leadership he can be relied on to go far; how far, only future centuries can show. The ignorant negro leader, on the other hand, is a dangerous person, because his very ignorance makes him and his followers tools. This fact has been clearly demonstrated in the last few years, and the contrast is marked between those sections where uneducated leaders dominate the race and where leaders are men who have received college training. Not only do the business men of the South realize the necessity for educated leadership, but the thoughtful men among the negroes themselves are most anxious to have trained and enlightened leaders. This disease is widely spread, being found in all countries, especially is it prevalent in tropical regions. It is found most often in Persia, north and south Africa. Italy, South America, France and Germany. It is sometimes found in Australia, North America and the British Isles. Epidemics of the disease often appear among cattle and sheep of affected regions and may be fatal at the rate of from fifty to seventy per cent of the animals affected. Human being are attacked in the infected districts and is often attended by great fatality. The disease, occurring in man, almost exclusively affect those coming in direct contact with the infected animals, or parts of the animals that have died from the disease. The infection may occur thru the skin where the skin is broken, thru the intestines by eating infected meat, or thru the lungs by inhalation of dirt contaminated by the bacillus anthracis. About 72,000 horses were destroyed in Russia in 1864 by this disease; in the province of Novgorod more than 56,000 horses and cows were destroye and 525 men within four years by Anthrax. 150,000 cases of Anthrax were reported in European Russia in 1903 to 1903. There were 1500 cases reported in Germany and 12,000 in Italy.

Name RECOGNITION OF NEW NEGRO MIND URGED Miss Marry McDowell Declares The Colored Race. Has Become Ambitious Recognition of the new mind, the awakened ambition of the people of the colored race, by the whites of Chicago, was said by Miss Mary Dowell, head resident of the University of Chicago settlement, to be one of the main solutions of the race problem in this city. She spoke last Tuesday night before the citizenship class of the Woman's City Club. "The colored people are not the gentle, mild, hospitable folk they once were; education and the success they have attained has made them ambitious," said Miss McDowell. "Their children, like the children of the foreign born, are entitled to decency, fresh air, school privileges, play privileges and comfortable houses. We must have the co-operative mind and see that these things exist for everybody. And we must have the hospitable mind. It is said that the libraries on the edge of the black belt are patronized very little, while at Abraham Lincon center 75 per cent of the readers are of the colored race. Demands Elimination of Fear "And we must eliminate fear. I was indignant enough when I read about the children of London, who were so terrified by bomb raids that they had to be sent away to protect nerves, but what is to be said of a like state of affairs in Chicago? There are little children whose first question in the morning is: 'Was there a bomb last night? I thought I heard one.' And what is to be said when a matter of twenty-eight bombs are thrown with direct aim at the homes of negroes and the bomb throwers cannot be found? We have no difficulty in finding other bomb throwers. Write to the mayor and the chief of police and inquire why these things exist.
