SLAYS CHILD'S SEDUCER: FREED READ EVERYWHERE BY EVERYBODY THAT'S ANYBODY Vol. 2.—No. 21 Joliet Fugitive Captured by Third Rail Joliet Fugitive Captured by Third Rail Walks Away From Honor Farm To Be Overtaken By Fate. Wm. Jackson, colored, who walked away from Joliet Sunday night, lies today in the morgue, a victim of fate. The sheriff's posse will not receive credit for his capture, neither was he shot to death by Chief Mooney's "rifle squad." His dash for freedom was stayed by that all-powerful, ever present Agency, from which there is no escape. Was An Honor Prisoner. Jackson was one of nine convicts who walked away from the "honor farm" at Joliet, where he had sent to serve an indeterminate sentence of one to twenty years for a burglary in Chicago. Jackson was electrogranted shortly after midnight, when he supplied on the third rail of the Elgin, Chicago & Aurora Railway tracks between Wheaton and Glen Ellyn. Stumbling and dodging through the cold rain across muddy fields and prairies, he had at last come in sight of the great metropolis, who thrusts out her sheltering arm for saint and sinner alike. He was in sight of the safe port of the hunted criminal. It was then that his goal faded from before his eyes, obscured by the same veil that Fate has dropped so oft before between the weary traveler and the city of his dreams, whether he was an outeast from society or striving after high and lofty ideals. He was sent sprawling across a steel rail highly charged with electricity, and fell a human cinder, his clothes burned from his body. Eight Others Escape. The eight men who walked away with Jackson, and met with a kindlier fate are still at large. Among them is Archie Wilson, from Chicago, serving a life sentence. Urban League Launches $10,000 Drive The first meeting in the Urban League's campaign for $10,000 will be held Monday night when Chicago's business and professional men and women have been asked to meet the Reverend Robert L. Bradby of Detroit who will be the central figure of the campaign. ( Reverend Bradby has had wide experience in financial campaigns. The meeting is in the form of a dinner which will be attended by Victor F. Lawson, Editor of the Daily News, Horace J. Bridges, Leader of the Ethical Society and President of the Chicago Urban League, and Harry D. Oppenheimer, Chairman of the League's Finance Committee. Members, friends and workers in the drive are asked to meet at the South Side Soldiers' Club, Tuesday night when the plans will be formally announced. The League office is busy listing names of people who have felt the League's influence during its three years' service to the people of Chicago and indications point to a generous participation on their part. Invitations to Monday's dinner were signed by Jesse Binga, Charles E. Bentley, M. O. Bousfield, W. D. Cook, Irene Goins, George C. Hall, Eva Hooper, R. L. Mays, David Manson, David McGowan, Anthony Overton, John W. Robinson, F. L. Stephens, F. G. Trapp, George Walker, and S. A. T. Watkins. The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY 24th Inf. Moves To Mexican Border KILLED FOR BEING TOO RICH Fireman Worth $20,000 Shot to Death by Police Jealousy Resulting from Fireman's Accumulatoin of Money Causes Death. Memphis, Tenn., May 18—Lee Turner, Fireman for the Illinois Central Railroad, reputed to be worth about $20,000 was shot through the heart and instantly killed last night by members of the police force, it is alleged. Southerners Jealous. It is reported that Turner, who had made several clever investments, had incurred the jealousy and enmity of the Southern whites by having accumulated too much money. Once Robbed of $9,000. He is the same man who was robbed of $9,000,00 some months ago, while en route to a bank to deposit it. Since his robbery, Turner has always carried a pistol to protect himself from future depredations. Many threats were made against his life, it is claimed, because Southern whites, were often heard to say that a negro had no business with so much money. Taunted by Officers. According to the report of eye witnesses, Turner was returning home from the Illinois Central yards at about 3:00 a.m., when he was halted by officers who were hiding behind a large bush. Thinking they were robbers, Turner drew his gun to protect himself, but before he could raise it, he was shot through the heart. Ruse Planned by Police. It is alleged that the police knowing that Turner always carried a gun employed this ruse in order to kill him and at the same time have grounds for justifying themselves by saying that they shot to save themselves. Chambliss' Trial Opens With Strong Undercurrent. Hints of a strong undercurrent of race hatred characterized the opening day of the trial of ex-policeman Dorsey Chambliss on trial for the alleged death of Bertha Wiebe, alleged notorious white prostitute of the South side "Black and Tan" district. The trial was started before Judge Harry Lewis. The case has created keen interest, not only in Chicago, but even throughout the nation. The courtroom was crowded, and a large number of colored people were present. In questioning the veniremen, the state's attorneys were particularly inquisitive regarding the political affiliations of the prospective jurors. Four jurors were selected Monday. They were! Wm. D. Castro, 936 Lakeside Pl.; Walter E. DeLair, 4946 Sheridan Road; Arthur Carr, 660 W. 61st Pl.; and A. M. Dunn, 4032 W. Adams St. It is understood that the defense is hiding its trump card, and that a stunning surprise will be sprung when the testimony and argument begin. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, MAY 22nd, 1920 BOUGHT FREEDOM FOR FIVE DOLLARS New Orleans, La. May 18—William Price and Joseph Jackson were returned to prison early yesterday after having "bought" temporary freedom from a deputy of Sheriff Sullivan. Price and Jackson are reported to have escaped on March 17, a short time before Sheriff Sullivan took charge of the prison. They told a reporter that they asked one of the deputy sheriffs to make them "trusties". According to them, the deputy sheriff, whose name they gave to the reporter, told them he would let them escape if they paid him $5 each. The following day they were taken in a gang to Silver City, a dumping ground in the rear of the city, where they claim the deputy sheriff told them to "breathe it." "Old 8th" Mustered Into Nat'l Guard The 8th Regiment, Illinois National Guard, Comamnded by Colonel Otis B. Duncan, has almost filled its quota of 1361 men and four of the companies have already been mustered into the service of the State of Illinois. 150 men are still needed for the Chicago units and Colonel Duncan has inaugurated a recruiting drive and hopes by the end of the week to enlist a sufficient number of men to make application for the muster-in of the remaining companies. The commissioned personnel of the regiment is composed of officers who have seen long and honorable service and on account of their intensive training and actual battlefield experience gained during their service of almost two years in the Great World's War, are peculiarly fitted for their duties as leaders and instructors. The enlisted personnel is thoroughly repdessentative and in the ranks there are menof all professions and occupations. In order to enlist in the regiment men must give proof of their good character, must by physically t and not less than 18 not more than 45 years of age. The 8th Regiment Armory, located on Forest Avenue, near 35th Street, erected at a cost of more than $250,000.00 is the home rendezvous of the regiment and is one of the finest buildings of its kind in the country. Lieutenant Colonel John H. Patton is on duty at the armory day and night and always takes great pleasure in showing visitors through this beautiful building. The Adjutant General of the State of Illinois has sassured Colonel Duncan that arms and equipment for the regiment will be furnished at a very early date so that active training may begin at the earliest possible moment. The training scheduled for the present season has been prepared along modern lines and in addition to the regular close order drills, special instruction is to be given with rifle, bayonet, hand and rifle grenade, automatic rifle, machine gun, one pound cannon, trench mortar, reconnaissance, panel reflector, telephone, wireless, etc. The instructors in these things are practical and thorough. Desert Farms in Alabama. Crop Faces Ruin RACE HATRED FOLLOWING KILLING OF WHITE FARMER CAUSES COLORED FARM-ERS TO FLEE COUNTRY Agriculture. St. Louis. Castleberry, Ala., May 18.—Strawberries on the berry plantations in this section are rotting on the vines, and farmers are standing to lose thousands of dollars because of the sudden and almost complete exodus of colored farm hands from this county following the intense race feeling and threatened mob violence on account of the killing of a white farmer by two colored boys. Excitement Followed Killing. Dan Whittle and Willis Whittle engaged in a fight with Charles Saren, white, resulting from an automobile collision, and killed him. The two men escaped to the swamps heavily armed, and all efforts to locate them have proved futile, although the country teems with armed posses intent upon dealing summary justice to the two colored men. Following the killing, feeling between the races ran so high that riots were narrowly averted several times. All Colored Residents Threatened. Failure to capture the slayers so infuriated the whites that threats were made that unless they were captured, every colored man in town would be whipped. These threats had an unexpected result in the fleeing of practically all the colored farm help of the county. Agriculture is now at a standstill, and unless the colored farmers can be induced to return, all crops will be practically a failure. Congressman Madden Nearly Mobbed by Southerners Washington, May 19.—When Congressman Martin M. Madden, representative from Illinois said in a speech last Saturday that general Lee and the men who fallowed him were traitors, he so insulted the 100% "Southern Americans" that he was called to task today by Representative Stedman of N. C. NO APOLOGY TO OFFER. Madden stated: I have no apology to offer. The Confederates were traitors. The Southerners rushed for him in a mass but speaker Gillette with the assistance of the House Sergeant restored order. If the Confederates were loyal to us, so were the Germans, a colored visitor remarked. WHITE CANNIBALS IN ORINOCO JUNGLES New York City, May 16.—The current opinion that all cannibals must be black was disproven by the report of Dr. Rice who has just returned from Para, after having wrecked off the banks of the Orinoco River in South America. Dr. Hamilton Rice, an explorer of note, reports that while wrecked and endeavoring to get their bark in shape for the return, his party encountered a tribe of wild men, all of whom were above six feet in height and fair in complexion. That they should be fair in this tropical climate is an anomaly but that they should be cannibals upsets all precedents as to cannibals as press and pictorials have so consistently and persistently shown cannibals to be black. Dr. Rice has not made an extended report on his trip as yet and many wonder if his other experiences and discoveries will be as startling as this one. Great Demonstration in Favor of Dr. Bundy in St. Louis Race Men Rally to Cause in Great Numbers. St. Louis, Mo., May 15. — 7,000 people massed themselves in the gigantic Coliseum here last night to greet the much persecuted and maligned race-martyr, Dr. LeRoy N. Bundy, the hero of E. St. Louis. Dr. Bundy, who is out of jail, pending appeal from life sentence on $50,000 bond is merely a shadow of his former self. His shoulders are bowed under the weight of his martyrdom, and straggling gray hairs show evidence of his terrible ordeal. Bishop W. T. Vernon, Mr. W. C. Linton, Editor of The Chicago Whip, and Atty. Jos. D. Bibb, co-Editor of the Whip, made stirring speeches that struck the hearts of those gathered to pay homage to the martyr. The Harmony Kings, composed of Messrs. Hann, Browning, Berry and Drayton captivated the audience with their wonderfully blended voices and close melody. They have few equals and no superiors in America. Mme. Anita Patti Brown, also appeared and acquitted herself creditably. Atty. W. C. Hueston, and Rev. Scott also spoke on the various issues involved in the Bundy case. Dr. Bundy electrified his audience with his soulful words. He stated that the prayers of his friends had contributed more to his freedom than all other agencies. Bishop Jones was successful in awakening the audience to the seriousness of the Bundy case. $1,508.00 was contributed toward the further defense of the hero. The audience left the Coliseum with solemn, serious faces, feeling that Dr. Bundy's care were theirs. THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR EIGHT PAGES ER; F Border RICH Colored Regiment to Watch Mexican Developments 24th Infantry and 12th Cavalry Units Makes 600 Mile Hike. El Paso, Texas, May 17. The machine gun company of the Twenty-fourth intan. leaves Fort Bliss Wednesday for an overland "hike" to Columbus, N. M., under command of Lieut. George M. Goot. This company has been here two months for intensive training in the Southern department machine gun school at Fort Bliss, and finished the course Friday. On the hike of about 132 miles to Columbus, the company will transport standard field equipment. The machine gun troop of the 12th cavalry, which has also been taking the course at Fort Bliss, has been ordered to proceed overland from Fort Bliss to Del Rio, leaving El Paso May 15. The troop will move with standard equipment. The Twelfth cavalry was formerly stationed at Columbus and was ordered to Del Rio for duty about two months ago. El Paso the machine gun troop left the regiment and went to Fort Bliss, the remainder of the regiment proceeding to its new station at Del Rio. The machine gun troop will make the hike of almost 600 miles to Del Rio after completing the course at the Southern department machine gun school to join the Twelfth for station duty. Colored Scientist to Receive Grant By National Research Council. Washington, May 12.—Dr. E. E. Just, of the department of zoology and physiology of Howard university, has received the first grmnt to be made by the national research council to a negro scientist, according to an announcement made today before the Southern Sociological congress by Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the university. Dr. Just is a native of Charleston, S. C. and was graduated from Dartmouth college. Declaring that there "should be a well ordered program, tending to assure colored Americans as well as other Americans and aliens a larger share of the blessings of freedom, liberty and pursuit of happiness", Dr. Scott outlined planks of such a program. These included abolition of lynchings, improvement of labor conditions, enforcement of legislation designed to preserve the sacredness of the ballot and establishment of adequate facilities for the education of the negro. PRICE FIVE CENTS Pleads Unwritten Law for Killing White Moron CONGRATULATED BY SCORES Lancaster, Wis., May 18.—Tears of joy ran down the wrinkled face of Jackson Green, aged 61, when he was yesterday nequitted of the murder of William Duncan, white, whom he last November killed for debauching his young daughter, Deena. Pleads Unwritten Law. The defense stood on the unwritten law, and the jury of farmers empanelled from the countryside returned the verdict "Justifiable Homicide". Public Sentiment with Green. Public sentiment has been with Green, since his confession to Sheriff Frank Heil an hour after the riddled body of Duncan was found in his auto near the Green home on the morning of November 3, last. Girl Imposed on by White Man. The case was heard before Circuit Judge Levi Banneroff, former attorney General of Wisconsin. Attorneys Carthew and Brennan defended Green. Carthew, in his argument to the jury, declared that Green was justified in killing Duncan, after the police and Deena. Green from advances by the white man despite Green's requests to the officers. Congratulations by Scores. As Green walked from the court room after the reading of the verdict, scores of prominent citizens, white and colored, crowded around him to voice their congratulations. Dunean is survived by a widow and a 14 year old daughter. Race Granted Two Bishops by M.E. Conference Race Granted Two Bishops by M.E. Conference Voted Amidst Great Excitement. Des Moines, In., May 11. — Amid scenes of the greatest excitement the Methodist general conference voted today to elect two colored bishops for supervision of the 350,000 colored members within the church. Dr. David G. Downey reported for the Episcopal committee that it had agreed by a vote of 197 to 5 to recommend such action. When the conference voted to accept the recommendation the audience rose and sang the doxology and the Battle Hymn of the Republic and as shouts went up dignified bishops and delegates rose and cheered. "It is time that we redeemed our pledges to the colored people of our church", said Dr. Downey. "For twenty-four years we have promised this and failed to act. White bishops cannot fill the need among this people. As to administration there need be no fear that a colored bishop will ever expect to preside over a white conference." $12.000 Sanitarium For Colored People in Dallas. Dallas, Texas, May 15th.-Permit has been granted by the city to Dr. W. M. Hayes to erect at 112 Cliff Street a five story sanitarium for colored people. Dr. Hayes has been planning for some time to build such a place and this step has been aided by the fact that colored patients have received such poor treatment in the white sanitariums which condescends to admit them. The less edifice will be modern in every respect and it is announced that the building will begin next month. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP EDITOR Mr. Arthur Brisbane, the brilliant editorial writer of the Hearst Papers, who heretofore has shown no rancor of race prejudice, states that it was a terrible imposition to put savage African soldiers in the homes of Frenchmen with their wives. The Africans while not highly civilized, were there to stem the onrush of the Ravaging Germans. We might object to savages being in the same house with our wives, even under those circumstances, but why raise the color question, and make their black skins an added objection. A white man's heart cannot be entirely right in America, even if his brain is clear. Shame on you, Brisbane. We realize more than ever that the pussy-footing, cowardly, cringing, old Uncle Tom Negro must be put in the background. He is afraid to ask for liberty. He believes in the superiority of the white man. He has no clearness of vision or courage, or backbone. They should be banished from the face of the earth. "Give us Liberty or Give us Death" is shocking and revolting to them. They believe in Life at any price. They have been dead from the shoulders up since birth. Bury them—Bury them. We find that 32,000 white children are born out of wedlock each year, and not more than 7 per cent of them survive. The white man sets a beautiful example of morality for the Negro. Probably social quality would have given these fallen and disgraced white women a chance to win decent colored husbands and save their souls from the sins of murdering their young by the acts of omission. Why not give life a chance to proceed naturally. Dr. DuBois in his editorial defending the white constituency of the N. A. A. C. P. fails to grasp the point, and we are beginning to agree with the Messenger that he is either shallow or cowardly. No one objects to white people aiding the down-trodden Negroes. God forbid. We do object to their leadership. They cannot think as we think, and they cannot feel as we feel. The majority of the N. A. A. C. P. Leaders are white, whether they are notoriously known or not. Think of a barbarian leading a Greek, or a Jew leading a Gentile. We are altruistic, but conditions make us practical. Y. M. C. A.

Many years ago Mark Twain, our great humorist, wrote the following serious passage in his "A Connecticut Yankee", which aptly hits the loose thinking of today: You see, my kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's COUNTRY, not to its institutions or its office-holders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; INSTITUTIONS are extraneous, they are its MEERE CLOTHING, and clothing will wear out, vceamed ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease and death. To be loyal to rags, to shout for rags, to worship rags, to die for rags — that is a LOYALTY OF UNREASON, it is pure animal; it belong to monarchy, was invented by monarchy; LET MONARCHY KEEP IT. I was from Connecticut, whose constitution declares "that all political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority and instituted for their benefit." Under the gospel, the citizen who thinks he sees that the commonwealth's political clothes are worn out, and yet holds his peace and does not agitate for a new suit, is DIS-LOYAL; he is a traitor.

WAS in St. Louis in a Cabaret the called "Jazz Land". A lady charged me 11c admission, and when the orchestra struck up a discordant tune, I though I would "shake a little shimmy" with some of the Missouri damsels, when lo, and behold, the floor manager halted me when I was getting up enough steam for a good demonstration a la Dreamland, and cried out "Ticket!" I was sold 9 dance tickets for 25c—but the worst is yet to come, the orchestra had hardly finished three bars of music, when it stopped, and the bandit floor manager rushed up to me and grabbed another ticket for the encore. That was enough. Those hold-up games in St. Louis seem to flourish. We wonder why the press and New Negroes don't break up these bandit and hold-up tactics. Pity on the Cabaret hound in Missouri. Hands Up! WHILE in St. Louis I also spied several "down home" preachers peeping in restaurants to se if any other colored people were repasting there. If they saw only white folk, they wouldn't dare enter. The curse of Southern sentiment has given them Jim Crow minds.

Atlanta, Ga., May 15. — Henry White, a bellboy was shot to death yesterday by his wife, Mrs. Ola May White, at their home, 7 Dallis St. Early in the morning White quarreled with his wife and he went away. He reappeared a few hours later and, according to the woman, threatened to cut his way through a screen door into the house. His wife seized an automatic pistol and pulled the trigger until the clip was empty, practically every shot taking effect. White died almost at once.

Phone Calumet 875 CHICAGO - ILLINOIS The STAGE CRITICISM IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC MORAL AND PUBLIC TASTE DAVE PEYTON'S GREAT STAGE REVIEW A. DAVE PEYTON Composer, Musician, Critic THE HARMONY KINGS. The Four Harmony Kings, consisting of Prof. Hann, Messrs. Browning, Drayton and Barry, who have starred for the last few years in the Orpheum Circuit, captivated musical St. Louis at the great Bundy meeting when they volunteered their talents to make his meeting a success. These men are artists of whom the Race know little. The white race has kept them continuously and exclusively on the big time and they have seldom been heard like most colored artists by their own people. Their "Steam Piano" number is the best of its kind in the world, and the vast audience forgot that they were listening to the powerful cadences of human voices, and imagined that a wonderful mechanical steam instrument was enchanting them with its soothing, crooning melody. The genteel manner and polished conduct of these gentlemen give them a peculiar place in the hearts of humanity and upon the stage of life. Prof Hann, one of nature's gentlemen, has a powerful and resonant bass voice. He is an artist, but has not lost sight of the church. He wears a modest cross for a watch charm. Mr. Brown has a beautiful lyric tenor voice, characterized by true quality and sweetness. He was formerly a member of the Famous Hell Fighters. Mr. Drayton, the baritone, a graduate of Claflin, has a round rangy voice, and a wonderful charm of charm of personality. Mr. Berry, the leader, is in a class by himself, and the name Berry is sufficient for all who have heard him. Mr. Berry's range is remarkable. He is capable of touching A flat with ease, and has no difficulty in striking the deep bass tones. All Hail to the Harmony Kings. BLUE EYED GIRL JUDGED COLORED. But Fair Damself Insists She Is White. Omaha, Neb., May 14—Thora McCree, aged 14, blue eyed, white skin, says she is white. Dr. H. C. Seaman, white, dropped a bit of blood from Thora's ear on a microscope slide. He said it showed a trifling derivation from the corpuscles of a white person and in his mind there was no doubt that the child was colored. School friends of Thora McCree told her she was white and persuaded her to run away from home in order to appeal for the aid of Welfare Workers. Letters placed in the hands of the Welfare Workers show that one of the girls' parents was colored. Friends of Thora told her sitter the test not to pay any attention to Dr. Seaman because she could be white when she wanted to anyhow. STATE NORMALS FOR COLORED TEACHERS IN TEXAS. Austin, Texas, May 17.—State Normalrs were aproved for fourteen colored schools to take care of the colored teachers of the State of Texas. In accord with the spirit of Texas four times as many white normals were provided for white teachers of the State. This ratio is in proportion to the interest that the state of Texas takes in providing means for colored teachers of becoming more efficient and affording means for colored persons preparing themselves for examination for teachers certificates.

For this reason there is a registry in which a list of good rooms is kept, and there a girl may find out a good place to live. There are also many other advantages offered the girls through the Y. W.

Mason of 205 Fiftieth street is at the head of a group of 25 captains of teams which will help to raise the $25,000, which is the quota for our people of the $1,000,000 to be raised in the campaign. Among the captains who will marshal their teams in raising the money are Mrs. J. Averdorph, Mrs. Antoinette Garnes, Dr. Lillian Dove, Mrs. Irene Hudlin, Mrs. Mattie Lowe, Mrs. Irene Lewis, Mrs. Lulu B. Smith, Mrs. Edith Sampson, Miss Beenie Mitchell and others who have not yet responded to the invitation to help in the work. The executive committee, of which Mrs. J. W. Robinson is chairman, also forms another team. The teams under Mrs. Mason made one of the best of the team reports of the opening luncheon of the campaign on Monday at the Hotel LaSalle, when it was announced that they have raised, as a beginning, $656.92. This is but a starter, and was received by all the other teams with applause. One of the features of that sum was the fact that $100 pieded by the Mistletoe Woman's club of Englewood in honor of Mrs. Eva Jennifer of 2439 Vernon avenue, who was the woman who conceived the idea of Y, W. C. A. work among Chicago Negro women and girls. One of the finest things that our people can do during the campaign will be to subscribe generously to the campaign, and show Chicago that the Negro women of Chicago are glad of the educational and social opportunities offered them through the Y, W. C. A. Let anyone who is anxious to see what the work is visit the center at 3541 Indiana avenue. THE GRAND. By popular demand, The Broadway Rastus Show, is held over for another week. Fully one thousand people were turned away on last Sunday night, notwithstanding a drizzling rain. I was standing in the lobby of the theatre, and heard one gentleman say, he had been to see this show six times, and felt much disappointed, because he was met with the sold out sign. Arvin C. Miller and his pleasure makers have made a record breaking run, this being the fifth week, and from the near capacity house on Monday night and a big advance sale for the remaining week it looks as though Broadway Rastus can run a month longer, but nevertheless, Mr. Miller will put on a new show Monday, May 24th.

The Board ordered the white school to take a full nine months term and the colored schools an eight and one-half month term.

Man Chipasso, the Dutch pianist gave his Chieure recital. This piece was a varied one containing composition of Debussy, Ravé, Schubert, Rameau, Comperei and Hahn. The numbers were of moderate length and of attractive style. Mr. Chipasso is a master of the piano in that he plays with flawless technic but many of his audience longed for less of the dramatic force of presentation and more of the tender, appealing tone production. Lovers of good music would do well to look forward to and plan to attend some of the concerts announced by The Central Genect Company for next season. The concerts will be given in Orchestra Hall and are as follows: October 4, Renato Zanelli, bariton: Carolina Lazari, contralto: Grace Wagner, soprano, and Frank La Forge, pianist. — Oct. 18, Rosa Poselle, soprano and Carmello Ponsello, contralto. — November 1, Giovanni Martinelli, tenor and Kittl Bayne, soprano, November 15, Anna Case, soprano and Sascha Jacobsen, violinist. — January 10, Frances Alda, soprano and Charles Hackett, tenor. — January 24, Toscha Seidel, violinist. — Feb. 7, Frieda Hempel, soprano and Conrad Boss, pianist. — Feb. 21, Ricardo Stracciardi, baritone and Misha Levitski, pianist.

It has been a pleasure to see the children and parents fulfilling their pledges to help make the city cleaner, better and beautiful. The North Division, extending from 22nd Street to 39th Street, has about finished its task, while the South Division, extending from 39th Street to 59th Street, is still working. The Douglas and Raymond Schools of the North Division have special mention.

This week has been given over to the reports of the various general officers and the fraternal messages from the M. E., C. M. E., and A. M. E. churches. Although the conference was supposed to elect bishops on Thursday up to this writing the number of bishops to be elected has not been decided upon. There has been some wonderful debating discussing the pro and con of the church eleeting three bishops. The general sentiment of the members is that three will be elected, but the opposition seeks to reduce that number. Monday a vote will be taken and any way the question is decided the vote will be close. Your correspondent believes that the three bishop idea will carry. Mr. Oscar Adams of the Birmingham Weekly Reporter is among the leading laymen present and is leading the opposition against an increase of Episcopal Supervision Dr. C. W. P. Mitchell is leading the vast majority in favor of three and he is indeed a great influence in the conference. Drs. E. D. W. Jones, J. W. Wood and P A. Wallace still hold the lead of probable successful candidates for the Bishoprice. Zion connection has raised for education alone $382,436 during this quadrennial as reported by Dr. J. W. Martin, secretary of educations. NOTES. Hon. John C Dancy, the leading layman of Zion methodism, continues to improve and has been heard on several occasions in ringing convincing eloquence on weighty matters vital to the growth and future prosperity of the church. The African delegates create wonderful impressions in their quaint native dress and styles. They are well trained and impressive in their deliverances. Rev. B. C. Robeson, ex-chaplain of the famous 15th N. Y. regiment Hell Fighters, is a distinguished member of the conference and true to the spirit of his troopers, is some fighter himself. The question of Amusements will not be acted on at this General Conference and it is certain that the prohibition on dancing, theatre going and card playing will stand.

During the past winter courts were laid out in the spacious drill hall and much benefit was derived from the indoor tennis; basket ball and baseball games. Track teams, outdoor baseball teams, etc., are to be organized in the regiment and games and meetings are to be arranged with outside athletic clubs. During the late war this regiment was brigaded with the French and made a remarkable record. 95 members of the regiment wear decorations of the American and French Governments for gallant and meritorious deeds and service during the late war. Many of its men still sleep on the battlefields of France and many of its men are still lingering in various hospitals throughout the country. At the assemblies of the companies at the Armory, the battles and engagements in which the regiment participated are still being fought and memories of its heroes kept alive. The following are extracts from some of the letters of commendation of the regiment by famous generals; August 14, 1918—"We have seen the fighting value of the 790th Regiment increase on the drill ground and grow in the front line trenches under the amazed eyes of our soldiers seasoned by four years of glorious deeds." Mittauer, General Commanding the 36th Division, French Army." August 24, 1918—"The regiment conducted itself in a remarkable manner. I was especially pleased with the manner in which the terrain was used. Hirshauer, General Commanding the 2nd French Army." November 11, 1918—"The 370th Infantry has contributed largely to the success of the 59th French Division and has taken in bitter strife bothman and machine guns. You have always wished to be in the front line for the place of honor is the leading rank. You have shown in the course of our advance that you are worthy of being there. Vincendon, General, Commanding the 59th Division." December 9, 1918 "We advanced to the line. Fate placed you on the banks of the Aillette. October 12th, you occupied the enemy trenches Acier and Bronze. On October 12th, we reached the Railroad of Laon-La Fere—the Forest of Saint Gobain, principal Center of Resistance of the Hindenburg Line was our. In the name of your comrades of the 59th Division, I say to you: Au Revoir. In the name of France: Thank you. All of us of the 59th Division will remember the time when the 370th Regiment of Infantry formed a part of our beautiful Division. Vincendon, General, Commanding the 59th Division." *Constipation is the most powerful enemy of health—everybody needs to protect the body against tickes.* *Constipation Causes 90% of All Disease* *Pimplyly hurt—hands and joints—tired out feeling wars of poison in the system due to constipation, permanently.

A REPUTATION" THE WORLD OF SPORTS Get to LeBlanc in Opening Round and Win 5 to 2 Detroit, Mich., May 16. — Detroit Stars took the first of a five-game series from Cuban Stars Saturday, 5 to 2. The locals gathered three runs in the first and were never overhauled. Wars field started with a double, advanced on Hewett's out and later scored on a double steal with Lyons. Captain Peter Hill followed with a home run. After the first, it was a pitcher's battle. Thompson was found for only five hits, no two coming in one innings. Hernandez probably will work on the mound for the Cuban Stars Sunday and Holland will very likely be the local's choice.

Canton, O., May 17.—Mike O'Dowd, the St. Paul middleweight, who recently lost the championship, may not be a titleholder, but he is good enough to take the measure of Jack Britton, welterweight champion of the world. O'Dowd demonstrated that tonight when he faced Britton in a battle of twelve rounds which drew a packed house. O'Dowd was given the newspaper decision, practically all of the ringers agreeing that he had outpointed Britton by a margin that could not be disputed. The former champion, aided by a big advantage in weight, found an aggressive, boring in battle, and never once in twelve rounds did he break ground. Britton discovered early in the contest what he was up against and resorted to his masterful methods of defense. Only a couple of times did he attempt to work on the offensive, but he quickly was forced to discard this kind of milling to protect himself. Britton won three of the first six rounds. O'Dowd got the fifth and the third was even, but in the last six sessions, Britton failed to capture one. Neither feighter showed any marks of engagement on leaving the ring. Outweighed by O'Dowd. There was a difference of twelve pounds in weight between the two boxers. It as announced at the ringside that O'Dowd weighed 158 pounds, while Britton notched 146.

Babe Ruth is the spectular figure in baseball now. His ability to lose a $2 horseride pill by clouting it into the bleachers, plus the fascinating stories about his salary, fill the stands in the big league cities whenever he appears. That's his chief value — bringing fans in thru the turnstiles. A ball player who hits 'em just out of the infield consistently is worth more to a team's standing than the homerun slugger, but he doesn't help the gate receipts so much. S'funny world. It is said that a suit of clothes can be bought in England for $15, but — did you ever see a suit of English cloak? The Cleveland Indians seems to think every day is warpaint day. They may be there with the paint, but they haven't any powder-puff tendencies. Carl Tremaine is not a fancy boxer. Neither is Babe Ruth a fancy fielder. A Sad Story Among the passengers on board a ship crossing the Atlantic recently was a man who stuttered. One day he hurried to the captain. "S—s-s-s-s-s"—he stuttered. "Oh, I can't be bothered!" said the captain angrily. "Go to somebody else." The man tried to speak to every one on board, but no one would wait to hear what he had to say. At last he came to the captain again. "Look here," said the captain, "I can tell you what to do when you want to say anything: you should sing it." Suddenly, in a tragic voice, the man began to sing: "Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? The bloomin' cook's fell overboard and is twenty miles behind." —Philadelphia Star.

STATE ST. —DOUGLAS 2136— Amid tears and cheers, the like we have never witnessed, the delegates to the A. M. E. General Conference elected five new Bishops. — Rev. W. D. Johnson, D. D., and Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D of Illinois were elected on the first ballot. There was much excitement when the second ballot was taken. Dr. W. T. Vernon, D. D., Rev. Sampson Brooks, and Dr. W. A. Fountain, D. D., of Georgia were the successful candidates on this ballot. Strong Men. The delegates are being complimented by the more intelligent laity for their fore-vision and appraisal of worth in their selection of men. Rev. W. D. Johnson, D. D., is considered one of the most thorough men of the races, besides he has as much infortion as to the needs of the church as any man in the connection. Rev. A. J. Carey is a scholarly man whose contact with the both secular and ecclesiastical affairs in every part of the country gives him an enviable foundation to do a great work for the Church and Race. Rev. W. T. Vernon is a preacher and a statesman of a very high and manly type. Dr. W. A. Fountain is the youngest of the lot; as an educator he ranks above his colleagues. Dr. Sampson Brook sis the greatest builder in church and a Christian gentleman. Intellectually he does come up to the standard of the newly elected Bishops. On the whole it is said by leading commentators that these new Bishops will do much to strengthen the Church. Ordination Sad Service. Sunday morning at eleven o'clock the spacious auditorium was packed with anxious spectators to witness the ordination of Bishops. It was indeed the most impressive of all the sessions. There was not a dry check in the house when the service closed. Parker as Governor Co-operatives' Hope Campaign to Be Boosted by Personal Canvas as Well as Billboards. (Reprint Apr. 23 Daily News) Parker is a bona fide candidate for governor and he is no mystery. Candidate Parker is none other than Harrison M. Parker, 455 Deming place, connected with the Co-Operative Society of America. For several years he was connected with the business departments of Chicago Newspapers. The backbone of Mr. Parker's support appears to be the co-operative organizations that are springing up to reduce the high cost of living Mr. Parker says his candidacy was indorsed at a meeting of 5,000 representatives of co-operative societies held at Orchestra Hall tow weeks ago toorrow. The Parker platform, in brief, is War of the consumers against dis and corrupt labor leaders." honet, virgin, uncreed, politicism honest capital, crooked politicians "My campaign is on and is to be carried to every part of Illinois," said Mr. Parker. "I will not be playing a lone hand, for the consumers are to have a complete state ticket. The candidates will be selected at a convention to be held in Chicago next September." Dinwiddie Commencement Dinwiddie, Va., May 15. — "The most successful year in the history of Dinwiddie Normal and Industrial School, has just closed, the commencement exercises being held here today in the presence of a large number of people. It seemed that the whole community for miles around took a vacation in order to be present at the school and a large number of people were here from Petersburg, Newport News, Richmond and other parts. The patrons as well as students were loud in their praises of the good work accomplished by Prof. Walter E. Woodyard, the principal and a graduate from Fisk University. Prof. Woodyard is one of the most noted school Principals in the country. The exercises were all of a high order, and the graduates from the Normal Department, were Gladys Alexander, of Petersburg, Thomas F. Goodwyn of Dinwiddie, Annie E. Gross, of Norfolk, and James C. Wyatt, of Dinwiddie. The commencement address was delivered by Charles Stewart, A. M. D. D., of Chicago, general missionary of the National Baptist Convention, 'Tell Me Your Age', was the theme discussed, and in the address there were many things said to the young people. The speaker declared that man's age did not depend on the number of years he lived but on how well he lived, and how well he rendered his service to mankind. Prizes were awarded and presented by Prof. Woodyard. The election of Dr. W. D. Clinton, of Pittsburgh, as the chairman of the Episcopal omnivore was a high honor which he well deserved. He is the son of the late Bishop I. C. Clinton, of S.C., a graduate of Livingstone College and Meharry Medical School. He is a preacher of no mean ability and one of the most substantial men of the church for character and progress. The reports of the African delegation not only showed the willing sacrifices made for the establishment of Christianity in that dark continent, but also showed the real progress in increased membership, vast accumulations of property, the building of schools, and the enlarged facilities for the education of young men for ministry. Rev. Frank Arthur Penkano who has virtually been in charge of the work on the West Gold Coast is being groomed for Episcopal honors. The Chicago delegation is in much evidence, and seeks to return home with some of the honors. Dr. Black well and Miss Lillian Browder are the only candidates from this section. Bishop R. B. Bruce, of North Carolina continues to improve, and the conference physicians look for his speedy recovery. On Sunday, at the Temple, Bishop W. L. Lee preached a most eloquent sermon, and the singing of Rev. E. M. Ford, of Pittsburgh, was enjoyed by all. At the evening service Dr. Callis preached, and his discourse was enjoyed by a packed house. Dr. W. A. Davenport, of Wilmott, Ark., is the most popular candidate on the grounds for Editor of the Star of Zion. Rev. C. W. P. Mitchell, of Little Rock, Ark., is here with a complimentary edition of the Western Star, and although this paper has been discontinued for three years, it is his contention that it will be resurrected by this great lawmaking body. Dr. E. D. W. Jones is easily the most popular of the candidates for the bishopric. Among the recent arrivals at the General Conference, are: Dr. G. W. Clinton, and J. Kineaid, of Pittsburgh, Hon. John C. Daney, Washington, D. C.; Miss Beulah Caldwell, Philadelphia, Pa.; Miss Mabel Johnson, Livingstone College; Mrs. F. Cooper, Harrisburg, Pa.; Mrs. J. Wood, Indiana polis, Ind.; Mrs. E. D. W. Jones, Rochester, N. Y.; Mrs. E. J. Caldwell Philadelphia, Pa.; Mrs. J. W. Clinton Charlotte, N. C.; Mrs. W. Lee, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Dr. Pachelli, Brazil, S. A. Dr. Pinnako, South Africa; and Dr. W. H. Goler, Charlotte, N. C. Mrs. M. Small, Mrs. M. R. Franklin, and Mrs. Ida Smith are great factors in the W. H. and P. M. Soe of the Church. A Colored Women's Success.

Evanston, Ill., May 11.—(Reciprocal News Service)—An executive order was issued to-day by President Edw. P. Jones, calling the Executive Committee of the National Baptist Convention to meet at Springfield, Ill., June 17, at 12:00 o'clock. This official announcement was made at the Chicago Ministers' Alliance. It was read and signed by President Jones and C. P. Madison, the secretary of the Convention. The object of the meeting at Springfield is for the arranging of a program of the next National Baptist Convention which is to be held in Columbus, Ohio, September 8—13. This meeting of the Executive Committee, said Dr. Jones, will bring to Springfield many of the most influential members in America. In connection with the Executive Committee Meeting, he announces that there will also assemble the National Campaign Committee at 12:00 o'clock on the 18th of June to make reports and further complete the Baptist Drive for twenty-five millions of dollars which was put in motion last year at Norfolk, Va. and which provided for an annual report with the further arrangements of financing the whole campaign. They are planning to report two million, five hundred thousand this coming September and from all indications, declared President Jones, the first installment will be over paid. The Baptist forces in this vicinity are said to be arranging to go down in large numbers, many of them to hear Dr. Boyd on his report of Panama from whence he has just returned. A message was also read at the Ministers' Conference from the Sunday School Congress Secretary reporting encouraging outlooks for the Meeting. ley Home in Cleveland. This woman is Miss Jane E. Hunter, who began life as a poor country girl in South Carolina. The Phillis Wheatley Association does a work similar to that of the Young Woman's Christian Association. Its entire plant is now valued at $85,000, and the budget has increased since 1913 from $1500 to $25,000 in 1920. There is a mortgage of $14,000, $9000 of which is on the main building and $5000 on the annex purchased during the past year for the development of the educational work. It has a staff of nine-workers, some of whom conduct a weekly program of classes in English studies, in home economics, and in various forms of recreation. Besides, there are three voluntary workers who are being trained for social work. During the past nine months 374 girls have been housed and more than 5000 placed in positions through the employment department. The 1200 members of the Association assist in its maintenance by paying from one dollar to one hundred dollars per year. The Phillis Wheatley Home, a little mustard seed planted in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, is spreading its roots; it is carrying good tidings of protection and Christian influence to all Negro girls. Authorized Manufacturers for the U. S. Government THE CHICAGO WHIP Our Killing Roster. Editorial from Memphis Comm. Appeal, May 15. An officer heard that a negro fireman was an habitual pistol carrier. This negro fireman coming home from his run had some kindling in one hand and something else in another. He was told by the policeman to throw up his hands. He dropped the kindling and then the policeman said he did not throw up his hands, but made a motion towards his hip pocket. Then the officer fired and the negro fireman is dead. It is reported that another negro having a grouch against Turner told the officer that Turner (the fireman) habitually carried a gun. The officer says he found a 32-caliber automatic in the negro's pocket. The negro undertaker states that he was there two or three minutes after the shooting and that he saw no pistol. He that as it may, there is another point. Railway firemen aer scarce and once a year there comes out a killing roster. Memphis has led this killing roster for the last 10 years. The record this year threatens to outdo all others and the hopeless thing about it is that much of the killing is done by officers. The present crop of policemen seems to have done away with the oldfashioned billet and to trust solely to a rapid-fire automatic pistol. One of the detectives went off to take lessons how to be a policeman. He is now back. He will give the new men the benefit of his information. If he has learned well, he will be able to tell them that the New York policemen seldom use a gun. He will also impress upon them that the policemen are not appointed to kill, but to keep order. We have a number of ex-soldiers on the police department. They may do very well, but they should remember that a civilian policeman is in no way skin to a military policeman. The military policeman was a czar and generally a tyrant. There is no place for his methods in the city in time of peace.

The Iroquois Club of Evanston were well pleased with the exposition on Community Service made there last Thursday by Mr. L. V. Alexis. The speaker was sent to Evanston by Community Service of Chicago at the request of the Iroquois Club, a women's organization. The Volunteer Social Worker's Club are supplementing the lectures heard thus far by a reading course. The lecture at the last meeting was given by Mrs. Sayre of Montgomery Wards who spoke on "The Colored Women In Industry". Mrs. Sayre's lecture was unusually illuminating. "Le Cercle Francais" was largely attended last Friday. The Club received with applauses the news concerning "La Migonnette". "La Migonnette" is the first of a group of minor French Circles for beginners. The minor club is associated with "Le Cercle Francais" and was formed under the direction for Mrs. Anna M. Smith at the home of Mrs. John Wilson, 3347 Calmet Ave. Miss Adah Harris was elected president. "La Clava Espanola" made its first attempt at singing the Spanish An them at its meeting last Friday.

Other French papers join now in the minute criticism of the entire work accomplished by the President while in France, and they are showing the President was really the author of every movement that he now repudiates. One paper goes so far as to say that the people must not be deceived in the belief that President Wilson's voice is the voice of the American people. That his voice was not, is easily seen in the way the American people received the Peace treaty, or rather did not receive it. It is expressed by many that Wilson's actions are not the expression of the will of the people here but SUBSCRIBE FOR The Up-Reach A JOURNAL OF EDUCATION Published Monthly at 4345 Vincennes Avenue $1.00 the year; The great aim of THE UP-REACH MAGAZINE and teaching of the history of our people is to inform the world of the civilization of the world.

The President's letter was openly discussed in the Senate. One of the senator's remarks in defending Wilson's action was: "The president has permitted himself to be deceived about the political forces in France." Another said the President has allowed himself to be so accustomed to regard himself as the arbiter of Europe that he considers its government as he does the government of Mexico.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. THE PHASES OF FEAR The elements of fear with their different phases have played an all-important part in the history and evolution of mankind. Fear, as described by Professor William James is "the genuine instinct and one of the earliest shown by the human child." It has again been described as being the "painful emotion, characteristic of the apprehension of evil or harm." Fear can be seen in more intense forms such as fright or terror as was stated by Burns, "the fear of hell is the hangman's whip." Fear has been exemplified in early religions, not the intrinsic value of goodness itself has caused the conversions, but the fear of eternal punishment. We were taught the reverence of God Almighty thru a partial medium of fear. David, the psalmist said, "I will teach you the fear of the Lord." The original systems of law and order were established thru the fear of punishment for their infringement. So we find fear as a basic element in the foundation of religion and law. In the hey day of the 20th century civilization we find the reflexes of the intuitive fear of men still present. We find that we have fear in the economic world, fear in the social world and fear in the political world. Reasonable fears are virtues. Overwhelming fears are curses. The strongest nations in the world today are those which have constructively eliminated the element of fear. It was the fearless spirit of the Vikings, Christopher Columbus, John Cabot and the Puritan Fathers that built up the western civilization. These threw fear to the winds, challenged the elemental forces of nature, bridged the chasms of the seas and proved the genius of mind ovr matter. Fear, while a mental quality has been conquered by the stronger qualities of courage and intelligent curiosity. The secrets of nature at one time considered sacred and magnificently fearful have been unravelled by the indomitable curiosity of fearless science. New systems of order have been evolved in the political world by RADICAL REFORMERS who were not afraid to destroy the existing political schemes. No longer does fear exist for the divine right of kings, no longer do we fear autocrats or plutocrats. The lack of fear for political orders has been evinced by republican governments thruout the world, whether they be democratic or autocratic. The equality of men is fast becoming a fact rather than an ideal by the expulsion of fear from the human mind. In the economic world, the massed forces of organized labor have lost the fear of a dominating and autocratic capitalism. Serfdom and slavery have become an anomaly and fear of the force of the organized dollars of capitalism is a passing passion. Minority of dollars rule as strong in the economic world as minorities rule in the political world. In the social world the fear and respect of caste systems and clans has been vitiated by a greater respect for the universal principle of "the brotherhood of mankind." The fear for life has been cast aside and death is viewed as a transitory medium. No place for cowards can be found in our sun. "Cowards die many times before their death; the valiant die but once." Death is a necessary end that will come when it will. Th American Negro, grovelling under the heel of white prejudice has thrown fear into the ashes of the past and is rising up in the transendant glory of "his fathers", claiming equalities in the social and political world are the heritages of mankind. Even in religion, the fear of the fogies are being supplanted by the courage which comes with a frank recognition of facts and truth. Fear has become a product of the past and with starlit face the Negro gazes into the future with visage illuminated by truth and heart singing with COURAGE. POOR WHITE THRASH The South presents some very interesting sociological studies. The Land of Soothing Sunshine, Silvery Cotton, and Human Bonfires is quickened by its denizens of opposite skins. The predominating elements of people are those who are styled as Poor White Trash and N——s. Strange to say, these opposite groups are strikingly similar. While the Laws and Social Systems are applied separately, while one has a religious hatred for the other, while the inequalities in opportunity are strangely emphasized, while one speaks in squaking nasal drawling colloquials, and the other in flat, long drawn labials, still there is a wonderful resemblance existing, a mental likeness that is almost mysterious. The "poor white trash" have similar tastes to those of average Negores. They both have a decided weakness for citron-colored tan shoes, high crown hats, and overalls. A slouching negro on one side of a rural Southern road is passed and stiffly greeted by a shambling, poverty ridden poor white man on the other. They both have a lucrative fondness for corn bread and cabbage. They are both highly emotional. One raves over "blue eyed fair haired daughters and burly blacks" while the other moans a melody about "swing low sweet chariot, and I couldn't hear nobody pray." These people raise pigs, cotton and corn. Occasionally, the poor whites, to break the monotony of Southern life, murder by hanging or burning, one of the Negroes, and so the story runs. Strange the resemblance, when the white man claims innate superiority over the black. The white man with the advantage of 2,000 years of civilization free from slavery's stigma and oppression should be far above the product of savagery, slavery and persecution. Yet the Black Protegee of Serfdom and Prejudice stands upon equal footing with the poor white man. It appears to us that a reversal of the equation giving the Negro the ancestral and social advantage would give us a different result. If the poor Negro can equal the poor white man under the bondage of Bourbon Southernism, how far would he outstrip the white man, all things being equal. These ramifications should give to us a more standard Race pride and a firm courage. They operate as a mental stimulus towards breaking the prison that American prejudice forces us into. The American poor white man fails to shine with dazzling refulgence when the light of Comparative Truth is turned on him. THE NEGRO AND CHICAGO,PAST AND PRESENT By Lieut. J. E. Hawkins Mareh 31, 1906., marked an epoch in the Pekin Theatre as this was the date that the new theatre was opened. The demands of the public caused Mr. Motts to remodel the Music Hall, build a balcony running three sides of the house, and a big fifty foot stage. Mr. Harry Heinz, Carpenter and Builder, remodeled the place and according to the critics of the day the Pekin was one of the cosiest little theatres in the West. The opening night was a galan event and the beginning of an educational period for those who aspired for high place in the ranks of the profession. Joe Jordan was the orchestra Leader and commenced to make good from the start and it was not long before this young composer and his "Pekin Orchestra" was known the country over. A berry amusing story is told about Joe Jordan going to the Auditorium Theatre to rehearse some of his own compositions that were to be played at the Actor's Benefit of 1909. Joe Jordan himself tells the story as follows: "The Pekin Stock Company was on the bill to give a show, for the benefit of the Actor Fund at the Auditorium, and not knowing that Theodore Thomas's Orchestra was to furnish the music I carried a six piece orchestration with me, but when I reached the theatre I was confronted with an orchestra of fifty pieces. I was in a ticklish position as the music had to be rehearsed by night as the show was on for the next day; Mr. Motts was very much excited and was afraid that we could not make it. I told him not to worry as I would have the stuff put over. He did not see how I could manage it as I had orchestration for six. I told him that I would take what I had and write the others by night and rehearse with the Thomas Orchestra. Mr. Motts was told that I could not do it as it was something unheard of. I did do it and the Pekin Stock Company was the hit of the show. I lost nothing as the feat was considered something out of the ordinary and the newspaper publicity I got not only placed me on the map but the Pekin as well." Some of the many big hits put over at the Pekin were The Man from "Bam'"," Mayor of Dixie, Captain Rufus, Count of Noah Count, and etc. Lottie Grady, May White, Pearl Brown, Anita Wilkins, and Abbie Mitchell, were some of the many female stars, and Harrison Stewart, J. Ed. Green, Jerry Mills, Morey, Moore, and others headed the list of males. The above plays were mostly musical comedies and 'the scores were strictly original and products of the work of Joe Jordan and other Pekinites. Another amusing incident is connected with Joe Jordan's leadership of the orchestra and one which reflects into him great credit. The author dropped in to see one of the rehearsals and while sitting in one of the rear rows of seats in company with Mr Motts, I noticed that five of the best known musical leaders were connected with the one orchestra. I said; Bob you have Will Marion Cooke, Tim Brinnn, Jimmy Europe, Freeman, and Jon Jordan, all leading one orchestra. What's the big idea. He replied, "I'll tell you, Lieutenant, like this—I got to thinking one day about what a great opportunity this place gave the young musical and literary THE CHICAGO WHIP have similar tastes to those of have a decided weakness for crown hats, and overalls.

So, here you have them. They have been here four weeks and have not put over a D — — — thing yet. I asked Mr. Motts, how much longer they would be with him. He replied "They finish this week, all but Joe Jordan, as he is the regular house leader." The following week Joe brought out his famous "Sweetie Deer" which was the greatest song hit of the season and remained popular for years after. The majority of the song hits of the house were Jordan productions and big road shows used them. Some of the companies used Joe's music and changed the words. One song in particular was pirated by a well known negro company, that was "Shelter, Grubb and Mash spending change" written by Jordan for Harrison Steward, in his act. This song was used and sang to the tune of "Bonbon Buddy the Chocolate Drop" "Exit", "Feather Your Nest," and "In the Pale Moonlight", were other great song hits. The music of the Pokin became famed the world over and shortly after the death of Mr. Motts, Joe Jordan went to Europe and became leader of one of the large London orchestras and was considered to be one of the greatest musical geniuses of the age. (Next article: Mrs. Potter Palmer THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE FINALLY COMES ACROSS Editorial in Chicago Tribune of May 14. Jerry Bowers, a Negro policeman, was informed that one Roy Charlton was making himself obnoxious with a gun on Bowers' beat. Jerry walked calmly into the poolroom where the gunman was posing and started to question him. Four shots gave staccata reply. One bullet bounced off the steel spectacle case in Jerry's breast pocket; another bounced off his watch, and two passed through his uniform. Jerry ceased to talk and began to shoot. His first bullet pierced the gunman's right hand, and the battle was over. Charlton is in a cell, and we trust he will get the limit. Jerry is on the job, and we trust he will stay on it. Men of such capabilities are a credit to the department and a comfort to law-abiding citizens. "After last night Officer Bowers belongs dead, but he's alive," said Capt. Gallery of the Deering station. "In color he's black as night, but his heart is white as snow, and he's game as an Irish bulldog." We take pleasure in agreeing with Capt. Gallery. It's what's in the package that counts. HEALTH HINTS. Small pox or Variola is an acute infectious disease. The cause of this disease is not konon or clearly understood. It is thought by some to be caused by a protozoan, an animal micro-organism. It is claimed by some that Small pox dates back to a period about one thousand years before Christian era to the time of Tacho-dynasty of China. The goddess of Small pox was honored by having temples erected for the worship of this deity. Small pox was spread in China by having the crusts of a patient thrust into the nostrils of an intended victim and the practice was known as "spreading the Small pox". In India the tradition states that Small pox existed among the Brahmin caste from time immemorial. Descriptions by ancient writers of spotted or pustular skin diseases are thought to refer to Small pox. The inhabitants of this country also worshipped a Small pox shrine and offered sacrifices to the presiding deity in order to secure protection from its ravages. During the Roman period, Pilo of Alexandria wrote of this disease in the first century—"From the great suffering, natural to the festers so extensive, their bodies were tortured and their minds filled with horror. The lesions soon thrown out merged into extensive blisters filled with pus as if the parts had been burned. It extended over the whole body from head to foot." Bishop Marius of Lusane first mentioned the word Variola "et Variola Italiana Galliana affixita" in 570 A. D. when he described a devastating epidemic that swept Italy and France, Bishop Gregory of Touus in 582 spoke of a disease—"at the beginning a biche fever, vomiting, followed by back pains which were followed by the appearance of eruptions of hard white vesicles which occurred most conspicuously over the face, the hands and the feet. The vesicles became pustules and in many cases death occurred on the 12th or 14th day. Procopius described a dreadful pestilence in 544 occurring in Pelusia, Egypt. In 569 A.D. D. Small pox broke out in the Abyssinian Army of Abraha, which was besieging Mesca. An Alexandria physician, Auron, (7th Century), wrote of Small pox. The first description of Small pox, however, came from Isaac, a Jew, who lived in the ninth century. Rhazed, the Burdad physician, wrote of Small pox about 918 A.D. Avicenna, (980-1037), an Arabian physician differentiates between Small pox and measles. Constantinus Africanus, (1075 A.D.) D. Carthaginian, who lectured at Salerno, the first European Medical School, also gives a clear description of Small pox.

Name "Variola Sives Poccas". Small pox is said to have appeared in England between the 10th and 13th centuries. Hobenshed, describing an epidemic in the reign of Edward III, wrote—"Many died of Small Pokkes". Iceland received the infection from Denmark in 1306. Queen Mary, wife of William III, died during an epidemic in 1694. She was 33 years old and died 06 hemorrhagic Small pox. (To be continued next week). Negro Melodies And The Ukelele From The Chicago Journal May 12, '20 A Hawaiian iconoelast — a woman at that — has shattered the ukelele legend with the club of fact. She has discovered that this instrument of tor — musie is not of native island origin at all. It is an erude adaptation of the five-stringed "taro patch" fiddle brought to Honolulu by Portuguese immigrants. Thus does another story take its place in the hall of myths—where it has plenty of company. Lafaeidie Hearn proved that the so-called negro melodies of our own south are not African in origin; they are merely African modifications of old Spanish and English and French tunes, especially the last. The Smithsonian Institution has demonstrated that the animal tales which Joel Chandler Harris found among the southern darkies and turned into deathless literature are really Cherokee fables. So it goes Things are seldom what they seem Skin milk oft parades as cream—and nowhere is this maxim more often illustrated than in music and story telling. Start to run down the origin of a tune or a tale, and the chase may leave you on the other side of the globe, or bring you back to your own doorway. Human inventiveness is not very great, while the capacity to modify something that someone else has invented seems boundless. The real question is whether the modification is up or down. The negroes improved a large proportion of the tunes they learned from their white-masters, and they preserved the Indian legends which would have been lost without them — but what did the descendants of King Kamehameha do to the taro patch fiddle?
