Mrs. Maggie Robinson, 3750 State St., was the only eye witness to the tragedy. Mrs. Robinson says that Betts was creating a disorderly commotion in the street car when he was ordered to go home by Policeman King. Betts left the scene and returned a few minutes later muttering to himself, the officer muttering to himself, King attempted to put him under arrest, whereupon Betts drew his gun and fired one shot. The bullet struck King in the neck severing his jugular vein. King taken to Provident Hospital. Officer Rufus Williams, King's traveling partner, rushed to the scene at the sound of the shot and hustled his dying comrade to the Provident Hospital, where he died a few minutes later. Captured on Federal Street. After shooting Policeman King, Betts fled in a southwesterly direction and disappeared for the time being. Scores of detectives began to comb the neighborhood and finally discovered Betts hiding in a house at 37th and Federal Sts.

Policeman King was 37 years old and is survived by a wife and a fourteen year old daughter. He had been a member of the force nine years and traveled out of the Cottage Grove Station. SHERMAN BOARD OF TRADE SUED [Court Action Follows Alleged Discrimination. Mathew Long, 3250 Prairie Avenue, through his attorneys, Ellis and Westbrooks, filed suit in the Municipal Court of Chicago against Arthur O. Simpson (white) for discrimination against him in refusing to serve Mathew in his resturant, which is known as the Sherman Board of Trade. This matter was referred to Attorney Richard E. Westbrooks, the General Counselor for the Chicago Whip, who with his corps of associates is waging a vigorous campaign against discrimination. Associated with him in his fight against discrimination are the following attorneys: George W. Blackwell, Harris G. Gaines, John H. Randle, and J. Arthur Davis. This group of attorneys have volunteered their services in assisting the Whip in its campaign to make America a real home of the free and a country where human liberties and rights are protected. The Chicago Whip MISS. JOHNSON The Slain Policeman and His Family. NEW WITNESS UPSETS CASE IN CHAMBLISS TRIAL S. A. Brusseaux Springs Surprise. The closing days of the trial of ex-policeman Dorsey Chambliss were marked by the sensational evidence of a hitherto unknown witness in the person of Spencer Russel, once employer of "Peg Leg" Murphy, star witness for the state. If Russel's testimony is admitted, Murphy will probably indicted as the man causing Bertha Wiebeck's downfall. The Wiebeck woman is claimed to have made a dying statement, naming Chambliss as the man responsible for her career of shame, and from the moment that the ex-policeman's star was stripped from his breast, he was painted by the white press as a trafficker in human souls. Every effort was made to convict the defendant before he came to trial. An old mother's tears vied with politics and race hatred to make his conviction sure. At the preliminary hearing Chambliss' bond was set at $50,000, an unheard of figure for the offense of which the defendant was charged. Upon appeal to the Supreme Court this figure was lowered to $10,000. The trial opened Wednesday, May 19, before Judge Harry Lewis of the Circuit Court. The room was thronged with curious spectators, white and colored. More care was sexcerced in picking the jury than has been seen in many cases and for many days. The opposing counsel delved into the political affiliations, race feeling, and knowledge of the case of every venireman in detail. When the jury was finally picked, it was the conscensus of opinion that the rules of fairness had been satisfied. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, MAY 29th, 1920 Mrs. Wiebeck Takes Stand. Chambliss' plea to the indictment was "Not Guilty" and Mrs. Wiebeck the girls' mother was the first witness for the state. Bogus Birth Certificate. Mrs. Wiebeck produced a birth certificate purporting to show that Bertha was 17 years old at the time of her death. Upon examination it was shown that the date of the certificate had been changed. Mrs. Chambliss said that it was her impression that a detective by the name of Mooney had changed it. The State's contention that Bertha Wiebeck was only 17 years of age thus fell to pieces. Kath. Schauer Takes Stand. Katherine Schauer, white, the Wiebeck girl's chum was the next witness for the State. The Schauer woman testified having come to Chicago with B. Wiebeck. On the train, the wittness said, Bertha Wiebeck had changed her name to Mae Woods. Arriving in Chicago, she lived at the home of the Schauer woman, 6229 Chappelle Ave. for 6 days. The witness further testified that after leaving the Chappelle Ave. home, she lost track of Bertha for two months, and finally found her working for a Mrs. Shernoff, at 3614 Wabash Ave. Her next knowledge, she said, of B. W. was when she was living at the home of a Mrs. McCoy at 3158 Wabash Ave. She said she notified detectives, who went to the house at 3158 Wabash Ave., and found B. W. living there with "Peg Leg" Murphy, star witness for the state.

Montgomery, Ala., May 25. — Buell Powell, colored, was transferred Monday to Jefferson county jail for safe-keeping. Powell was picked up as a suspect in the murder of Mary Gafford, a white woman, and although there was no evidence to hold him, lynch spirit ran so high, that authorities thought it necessary to take him to Birmingham for safe-keeping. Sheriff Seoggin communicated with Gov. Kilby, who issued the order for his removal. The Gafford woman was murdered on her farm under mysterious circumstances, and there were no real clues to the identity of the murderer. When it was learned that Powell had once worked on the Gafford farm and that he had been seen in the vicinity of the farm shortly after murder, he was immediately picked as a suspect. Gafford will be kept in the Jefferson county jail until his preliminary hearing. Governor Kilby is expected to order a company of the Alabama National Guard to accompany the defender when the case is called. DREAMLAND FLOOR-MANAGER RUNS OVER WHITE BOY Bob Branner, floor manager of Dreamland Cafe, 35th and State Sts., ran down and killed an unindetified white boy at the corner of 35th St. and Racine Ave., late Tuesday afternoon. At the time of the accident race feeling ran high, and violence was narrowly averted. When witnesses to the incident claimed that Branner was to blame for the accident, it was feared that he would be lynched. The automobilist was rushed to police headquarters and race feeling subsided. RIOTERS AT CAPITOL ROUTED Lynch Spirit Follows Bold Holdup. Washington, May 24.—It was necessary to use federal troops to drive bloodthirsty rioters from the jail at Alexandria Courthouse, almost in sight of the National Capitol, who were intent upon lynching William Turner, colored, who shot and killed Thomas Morgan, of Alexandria, Va. Morgan and his fiancee, Pearl Clark formerly of Chicago, were joyriding in the Alexandria pike, when they were held up by Turner. Morgan attempted to resist the hold-up, and was shot to death. The Clark woman, who seems to be a devout Negro-hater thinking that Turner's intentions were toward he, screamed and fled. Turner Gives Up. After making his escape into the Virginia woods, Turner walked into Alexandria and gave himself up to the police authorities there. Mob Forms for Lynching. As soon as it was learned that Turner had given up and was in jail, a large mob of Virginia farmers banded together intent upon lynching the colored man. Federal Troops Summoned. Sheriff A. C. Clements, seeing a crisis impending, immediately requested troops, and Federal Troops were immediately sent from Fort Myers. It was necessary for a troop of cavalry to ride through the crowd, trampling some of the rioters under foot, before the mob dispersed. Situation In Hand. Late today the sheriff announced that although the situation was tense the authorities were confident that there would be no mob violence. Sergt. C. C. Boyer, in charge of the soldier guard stated that he had is sued ball cartridges to his men with instructions to shoot to kill. In telling her story of the affair the Clark woman characterized Turner as "the demon". RECOVERS DAMAGES FROM WHITE "VAMP" JURY FINDS MAY KELLEY AND MARIE DUNCAN GUILTY.

Philadelphia, Pa., May 25. — The refusal of Cleon Reggan, colored, to furnish glasses for a group of white whiskey-heads resulted in a free for all fight here yesterday, in which six people were wounded and Reggan was killed. The white men were congregated on a street corner with a quart of blind pig whiskey, and when Reggan passed it is claimed that they accosted him and demanded that he should procure a glass for them. Reggan, a stranger to all the whites, refused to have anything to do with the affair, whereupon one of the bullies knocked him down from behind. Jumping to his feet, Reggan stabbed the first two men he saw and streaked for home. The whites gave chase. Reggan ran into his home and seized his shotgun and was upon the sidewalk to meet them when the bullies arrived. Opening fire upon the crowd, Reggan shot down four more. A policeman bringing up the rear, took a pot shot and felled Reggan with a bullet in the abdomen. fections of her husband, George Brown, a prominent musician, had with the assistance of one May Kelley assaulted her as she was returning home from the city. Mrs. Brown told the Jury how her husband had mistreated her because she objected to his keeping company with Marie Duncan; how Marie Duncan had annoyed her telephoning and assaulting her because she objected to losing the affections of her husband, George; she related pathetically how she implored with Mary Kelley and Marie Duncan on the day of the assault to refrain from their attacks and how they disregarded her pleas for pity and bruised and scarred her about the face and body. Marie admitted knowing George, but denied that she knew him too well. Marie and May were dressed in very chic habit and attracted considerable attention while on the witness stand.

FAYETTEVILLE, N. C., May 25. H. C. Butler, white, and deputy sheriff W. C. Moore, white, were killed, two other white men shot, and several homes of colored people burne- d in a race riot here yesterday. Altercation between Women. The trouble started, it is said, between two women, one white, and one colored. A white woman, whose name has been withheld, assailed a colored woman, calling her vile names, and using abusive language toward her. The colored girl reported the affair to her father, who went to the white girl's father, and notified him that such conduct on the part of the white girl must discontinue. Protest Resented. The white girl's father sharply resented the fact that a colored man should come to him to complain against his daughter. A fight between the two men ensued in which the colored man came off with the honors. Mob Forms. That night a mob formed in the public square of the city with deputy Moore at the head, and proceeded toward the colored section of the city with the intention of lynching the colored man. Colored People Ready. Having learned of the formation of the mob and their intention to indulge in a wholesale lynch-fest, the colored people of the section had organized for self-defense. Repulse Mob. As the mob approached, the colored people opened fire, and the mob recoiled, leaving dead and wounded in their wake. Butler and Moore were among those killed. None of the colored people were hurt. Reinforcements Called. Reinforcements were rushed to the assistance of the foiled lynchers, and the mob was formed again. This time they approached in overwhelming numbers and succeeded in driving the colored men into the woods to the rear of the city, where they again took up their stand. The shooting continued throughout the night, and all the homes in the colored section of the city were burned, but up to a late date no casualties have been reported among the colored people. Subscribe To-day --- UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP When Chandler Owen, a young colored man, who edits The Messenger Magazine, same to Chicago last week, he was shut off speaking two nights in succession. The custodians of the "meeting places" claim that there was a confusion in dates. When he was finally granted an audience in a white auditorium, scarcely 25 of his race greeted him. Owen is right on the race question and IS NOT AFRAID. These "fraid cat" speakers always fill their halls. Strange people we are. A Pole tore away the clothing from a 15 year old girl last week and attempted to defile her. He was charged with rape and held on $10,000 bond. On April 29th a white man actually raped a colored girl, it is alleged. He was released on $2,500 bend. Dorsey Chambliss, colored, accused of contributing to the delinquency of an alleged notorious white woman in March was held on a $50,000.00 bond. What system of law is this we have in Chicago? Chambliss must have been charged $49,000.00 for being a colored man. Oh, Justice! How many crimes are committed in thy name! We would like to know why the "Crisis" has no more Editorials. Look at the "CRISIS" and you will see that the "pen and ink jottings" are styled as "The Opinions of W. E. B. DuBois." Is the N. A. A. C. P. willing to support its official organ, The Crisis? Haven't the officials who control the Crisis courage enough to allow their editor to write as editor and not as one of a private opinion? Is this another example of Uncle Tomism and white leadership? Springtime is here, and we notice that our front yards and back yards "such as they are" are hiding a multitude of sins. If some of those who cabaret all night and "back-bite" all day would clean up their glass houses and front and back yards, they would cease to be dubbed as undesirables. Our neighbor, with the "Great Weakly" cries Amen. Is it really true that we have a Jim Crow Cabaret "within our gates?" If so Mayor Thompson will instruct the Alderman of the "glorious Second Ward" to have it ceased. Maybe. We would like to be informed why we should have to pay ten cents for all soft drinks now, plus war tax. They first started with Coca-Cola, claiming that it was scarce, that they were unable to get it, that the price per gallon had been increased ad nauseum. They are able to get it in St. Louis, Washington, New York and other places. We are able to get it in the loop for six cents. Anyway what has all this to do with the other "soothing liquids?" Sugar, they tell us. "Dowr, with these profiteers! Let's drink near bear for five cents and get that bitter taste and a bitterer reminder of the "good old five cent days." We believe in unionism and have supported it, but we like to insist that unionism be consistent. If the Journeymen's Barber Association or what ever the name is do not want to shave people on Sunday, what about the bootblacks not wanting to shine shoes on Sunday? We may as well get it all done on Saturday night and be done with it. Since "The Lash" has been applied to Alderman Louie, he has stopped going to sleep in the Council and has made some good attempts to be active in constructive measures in the council. He now wants to give the "cops" some life insurance. Again the questions come, "What about Hyde Park Gang? Public Library in the Second Ward? Clean Streets and alleys? Public Welfare Stations?

If so, it would be more modern for these copperheads to read some of the many books on Americanism, whatever that means. HOSPITALS CEASE TO BE hospitals and become confidence games when they operate as the Chicago Woman's Hospital did down at 31st St. and Vernon Ave., according to the Chicago police. While "nosing" around down there the other night, I observed ladies and gentlemen of the 'darker race' cluttered around some little booths operated by Jews, Greeks, Gypsies, Hindus, and what not. They were raffling off hams, chickens, geese, crockery, and other commodities. The chances were about 1000 to 1 in favor of the 'house man'. I walked up the street to get a glass of beer and when I passed back by the place, I noticed a flock of Police Dept. Taxicabs, and asking what the trouble was, I was told that the cops had raided the place and arrested the promoters as running a game of chance. A large sign over the entrance read "Benefit Chicago Woman's Hospital." O Charity, what sins are committed in thy name! WAS UNDER the impression that our people had the highest regard for "signs". It seems that this regard does not extend any farther than "black cat crossing your path" and "walking under a ladder" variety. This was demonstrated to me while I was standing in a real estate office on State Street, talking with the "rent man" when a lady of our group, as the Offender says, came in and stood in the office for ten minutes waiting for me to finish my deal with the "rent hog". She approached the counter and asked for a box of Kongoline. The real estate man informed her that the Beauty Parlor was three doors north. I wondered how she could pass the signs on the door and the huge window and sidewalks which cost four hundred dollars in all and completely describe the business and then ask for that violent toilet preparation. PERHAPS YOU HAVE noticed that there seems to be a general understanding among all the waitresses in the restaurants to wear the most daring and alluring "peek-a-boo" waists obtainable.

The enterprising spirit of Mr. Crook and Mr. Jones promises to soon bring this firm to the front of the profession. Very little outside sympathy is wasted on a widow and widower who marry.

THE PEDAL Because of the indiscriminate use of the pedal by many persons who play the piano and the consequent agony of those who are forced to listen, it seems opportun that we think and seriously of this matter. It should be remembered that the use of the pedal is an art in itself and not an expedient to shield deficiency and to cover up mistakes in correct aim and touch. Just how and when to use the pedal, in order to produce the best effects, is a matter of long study. At the start it must be understood clearly that the so-called "loud" pedal must not be held down while two unrelated chords are played and that the ear must not be offended by the blurring of sounds. These should be no hard and fast unles concerning the use of the pedal but the fact must be accepted that the pedal is just as much a part of the piano as the stops are a part of the organ and that the use of the pedal must be studied with as great care and diligence. THE USE OF BREATH. THE USE OF BREATH. The voice is a wind instrument. The tone is produced by the normal, steady outflow o the breath through the throat and up into the resonance chambers of the head, where it gains its timbre and carrying power. Voice students must learn that tone is produced by the coming out of the breath and that breath control is the ability to govern the outflow of the breath so that it shall flow forth in an even steady stream. First the breath must flow freely from the lungs through the throat and then it is possible to regulate the flow. On Monday Evening, May 31st, at Lincoln Centre, The Progressive Choral Society under the direction of Mr. J.

A. of Chicago is coming to a face with many happy hearts and many new friends. We wish to thank our Captains and Workers; also the public at large for their kindness and generosity during the Drive, for they did work faithfully. There are too many people in Chicago helping us with their good will towards the W. W. C. A. for us not to win. Everyone who believes in the cause has been a faithful friend to us, for during these rapid-fire campaigns it is hard to keep our poise when everyone gets all whirled around and loses their equilibrium. Y. M. C. A. NEWS There was a time when boys would leave home in large groups and satisfy their desire for a cool plunge by venturing into dangerous bodies of water. Often news would reach an indulgent mother that her son had been drowned. Such incidents happened so often that many mothers refused to allow their boys to learn to swim. No mother need now fear for her boy's life. Send him to the "Y" any afternoon and he can enter the swimming class and get expert instruction. The boys of Raymond, Doolittle, Farren and Keith Schools are coming every afternoon from 4 to 6. The final results from the Cleau Up Campaign have come in.

The advent of several large dental corporations from the Loop into the Second Ward has created a large amount of discussion among the South Siders. The public at large does not know that in many instances the promoters of these concerns do none of the dental work whatever, but leave it to hired mechanics who have no other interest in their work to draw their salaries. Speaking on this subject Drs. Chapman & Tancil said that they were not competing with this method of dentistry. In fact, they said there was nothing to ocompete with as far as the intelligent practice of the dental science was concerned. Dr. Tancil said: — "Really fine dentistry is not found on the bargain counter. For satisfactory, durable work, you have to look up the dentist who has the practical experience, the scientific knowledge, an dthe expert skill, not to speak of an intimate interest in the welfare of his patients." Dr. Park Tancil, formerly in the Dental Corps of the Old Eight, has recently been appointed as Dental Examiner for Cook County for ex-service men who are entitled to compensation. The Pariors of Drs. Chapman and Tancil have kept pace with the advance of the science, and represent the highest development of the art. They have one of the finest equipped laboratories with facilities for turning out perfect work in the state. Their is an establishment for the practice of the dental science in its highest form, fitted with all modern mechanical devices, perfected to the pleasure and comfort of the patient. They make a special of extracting teeth with Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen, (gas), which is a safe and pleasant anaesthetic with no bad effects. Their X-Ray examinations of all doubtful cases prevents the loss of good teeth and saves time and money lost on teeth that will be a constant source of trouble. From outer reception rooms to inmost laboratory the establishment is open to inspection. 21 JEWEL Latest Gold $9.75 Mint with gold filled Watch.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTIOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. A SINISTER WARNING. While nations are "pow-wowing" over treaties, annexations and expansions, the great masses of wage slaves throuout the world are sighing for an easier way to eke out bare existences. Again the finger of opportunity points to America where the hidden treasures of coal and oil and the wonderfully fertile soil lay covered with moss, morass and rock. The great fever which urges one to cross the trackless depths of the briny deep is seizing the hordes of Europeans, Asiatics and Islanders. They hear of abundant wealth, plentiful labor, stupendous wages and fertile fields in which the "meat of the earth" may be obtained and where life can be found in sweeter and less hazardous qualities. The manifold opportunities of America are appreciated and appraised with the uncanny keenness apparently a trait of all nations and races with the exception of the helpless American Negro. The American Negro, knowing that he is filling the gap and vacuum created by the late world war and the exodus of foreign labor to European centers, knowing that he is the most despised, hated and undesired class and also knowing that the "inevitable" has granted him this splendid and special opportunity is consistently asleep to the power of his unique position. It is well known, or it reasonably should be known by the Negroes that are getting high wages and who are treading on acres of diamonds that when the flood tide of foreigners again pours into America that the position of the Negro in the labor world will be greatly affected and the increased supply of labor will naturally lessen the demand for Negro labor in a predjudice ridden land where only the husks are thrown to the "black AMERICANS." Striking a note of sober warning that echoes with terrible significance comes the knowledge that 250,000 Poles and Lithuanians are seeking passports to come to America. These people will work for lower wages than the Negro and having been shut off from the horrible nightmare of American extravagance and waste and being "blessed" with white skins will easily replace the Negro with the splendid assistance of capitalistic interests who want a life for the cheapest figure possible. The signs of the times point to a speedy labor and economic adjustment in America either peaceful or fraught with struggle or pandemonium. If the Negro takes advantage of his great earning power NOW, if he hews closer to the line of material achievement the standard of America to-day, if he will spurn the vanishing pleasures of fancy, imagination and false and foolish ideals he will be able to seize at this psychological moment the opportunity which will make him "the man of the hour" in economic and industrial adjustment. Time does not figure as largely in the evolution of conditions as it did in days of yore. Science and intelligence can do in one day what formerly took months and even years to accomplish. The Negro can change his condition in America in a comparatively short time. The late census indicates that there are approximately 15,000,000 Negroes in America. Speculatively their mean earning capacity is at least $1.00 per day. Intelligent and scientific application of these funds will give the Negro a place in the American sun. The co-operative movement that is sweeping the country seems to hit upon the economic solution. The union of Negro money will give new Negro enterprises that will enable them to not only employ their kind but offer at the same time an opportunity to share in the profits of their labor to say nothing of the incidental advantage of larger buying and selling power which is the natural forerunner for intelligent collective bargaining. When the panic that stalks with sinister grimness and even now throws its impending shadow over the financial world, comes in reality, when humanity will lie wan and starving, the Negro will not be forced to pick carrion flesh with scrawny fingers if the warning is heeded and if he locks his present earnings in a union of black enterprises. WHY WE THINK AS NEGROES We have advanced not as our own, but as a theory that the real curse of American predjudice was the fact that the majority of Negroes were forced to think as American Negroes and NOT AS AMERICANS. The American white man, who claims to be the finished product of divine ingenuity and the capstone of creation, has taught the Negro that he is decidedly inferior, undesirable and ugly. Negroes have swallowed this hook, line and sinker. The newer school of Negroes, however, openly repudiates this doctrine and is prepared to prove that the white man received his civilization from the Negro and can also show that Negroes were fighting with steel instruments when the white man defended himself with clumsy sticks and stones. The Negro is the only race in evolutionary civilization that entirely skipped the "bronze period." The Negro jumped completely from the use of stone to the use of steel. "AS A MAN THINKETH, SO IS HE" is a platitude that will withstand augmentative scrutiny. The Negro will be inferior, will be ugly, will be undesirable if he allows himself to think along those narrow lines. The leaders of the Negro race have controlled the thinking medium of the masses. They, in turn, have either been enslaved by ignorance or cowardice by the consistent propaganda of the white man which has been announced and reannounced so much that even the white man himself has fallen victim of autohypnosis and believes, himself, that the Negro is all that he says he is. Because of this deplorable condition, Negroes think in the narrow groove of American predjudice. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, captained by white men have allowed themselves, inadvertently to carry this "half-man" psychology. For example, the Association makes known thru its weekly press releases that their Annual Conference will be held in Atlanta, Georgia and dares, upon that occasion to state that "the speakers will be Gov. Dorsey of Georgia, Mayor Key of Atlanta and other white people." They state that there will also appear "some race leaders." Of course, we would expect this organization to place the white leader above the colored because that is Anglo-American philosophy. When Negroes place Negroes as their most prominent speakers, the mental prison will begin to dissolve, and we will begin to think as full fledged men, entirely Americans and not down-trodden, crushed Negroes. What we really need is a national organization of "New Negroes," who will write their master pieces in the mother tongue, who will take the cart from in front of the horse, who will espouse their own cause in their own way and free from white prejudice persuasion. THE NEGRO AND CHICAGO, PAST AND PRESENT By Lieut. J. E. Hawkins The Pekin Theatre had now become so well known that the daily papers place it in their amusement columns and gave the shows favorable mention by their critics. Each succeeding performance would attract patrons from the "loop theatres" would have the experience of their lives when witnessing one of the performances at this theatre as the majority of white people had been lead to think that the colored man succeeded as a mistrel performer and had very little ability along legitimate lines, but witnessing one performance of the Pekin Stock Company was enough to dispel any lingering doubt as to the possibilities of the colored race if given equal opportunity. Mr. Motts knew how to take advantage of opportunity and placed his add in all of the leading papers, and through this attracted the attention of Chicago's leading society people; they first came out of curiosity and thinking that the shows would be written on lines of buffonery—instead they found themselves in a world of song and witnessed acts that appealed to the most aesthetic. Mrs. Springer, the wife of one of Chicago's leading business men, and herself a woman of high social distinction made a visit to this theatre with her husband and a number of friends, and was so impressed with her venture that some time later on—when Mrs. Potter Palmer was discussing arrangements for the coming charity bazar which was to be held in her Lake Shore Mansion—prevailed upon Mrs. Palmer to arrange with the management of the theatre for a series of performances of the Pekin Stock Company. Mrs. Palmer took the matter under advisement and in company with the Baroness Von Slip enbach attended one of the plays and immediately after she made a contract with Mr. Motts for a performance to be given in her Lake Shore Castle. The newspapers of the city gave much space to this unique arrangement of Mrs. Palmer, and the after reports through the columns of the daily's proved that the arrangement of Mrs. Palmer was more than a success. The hit made by the colored performers was so great that the society people made other contracts with Mr. Motts for the appearance of the company at two downtown theatres where special performances were given for the benefit of charity. Joe Jordan brought out several new musicals for these occasions and J. Ed. Green, Jerry Mills, Lottie Grady, May White and others of the company added new laurels to their crowns and Mr. Motts commenced to experience difficulty in keeping road shows from over bidding and getting his performers from under his control of his performers, but he was a strong believer in the old adage that if a man was worth a certain figure THE CHICAGO WHIP however, openly repudiates this move that the white man received and can also show that Negroes instruments when the white man sticks and stones.

The attention of Mr. Booker T. Washington war called to this place of amusement and upon one of his visits to Chicago he witnessed a performance and gave the management high praise for the opportunities that this theatre made for the race, and he also paid high tribute to the efforts of the performers, later he made arrangements with Mr. Motts, and delivered one of his famous lectures from the stage of the theatre. Mr. Cleridge Taylor, the famous composer who was touring this country, was so impressed with the Pekin that he made it his headquarters during his three days stay in Chicago. Through over-work and steady application to his business Mr. Motts commenced to experience a decline in health which resulted in his early death. He made frequent trips to various health resorts and spent large sums of money with specialists trying to recover but to no avail. It was suggested to him that he go away and get the Pekin out of his mind and possibly that would help him. He replied that he would devote all the remainder of his time to the management of the theatre as it had nothing to do with his failing heath—and he did until his dying day. Bob commenced to realize that his aliment was very serious and one that he would not recover from, so he called in his attorneys who arranged all legal matters connected with his business so that his sister (Mrs. D. McKee Jackson) would have no difficulty in carrying on the business. Mr. Motts, always had a strong effection for his sister Mrs. Jackson as she devoted all of her life to the welfare of her mother and Bob said that when ever he made a dollar that he counted "Lucy" as his partner. Many people thought that Mr. Motts was joking when he said this but they soon found out that he made it serious as all of his property holdings were in the name of his sister in "joint tenancy", and a few years preceding his death he sold his remaining half interest.

By J. Sylvander Trice, M. D. SMALL POX. (Continued from Last Week). Small pox, as stated last week, played an important part in the history of the world. It also had a great bearing on American history. Small pox made its first appearance on the American continent in 1518 in Mexico, history states, having been brought there by a Negro slave. It swept the country, destroying the lives of three and one half millions of people, according to Totho. Whole tribes of Indians were exterminated by the disease, so De La Condamine states, leaving no one to bury the dead. The disease made its reappearance at regular intervals of seventeen or eighteen years. The Indians of Massachusetts were attacked by small pox in 1663 and died by the thousands. Its first appearance in Boston was in 1649. Inoculation for the production of immunity was first practised systematically in Constantinople in 1674. Lady Mary Wortley Montague, wife of the British Ambassador to Turkey, introduced the custom to Europe. In a letter to her friend, Miss Sarah Chiswell in 1717, she writes: "The Small pox, so fatal and so general among us, is here entirely by the invention of engraftin (which is the term they give it—vaccination). There is no example of any one that has died from it—that I am satisfied of the safety of this experiment, since I intend to try it on my dear little son". The daughter of Lady Montague was the first to be inoculated (vaccinated) in England, (1727). Vaccination was extensively practised in England in 1809 as the result of Lady Montague's efforts. In 1798 Jenner announced his discovery of vaccination. Vaccination was first practised in America in 1721. Small pox was a great source before the introduction of vaccination. It not only destroyed life, disfigured and maimed, but in one time it was the most common cause of blindness. In London during the eighteenth century it caused one twelfth of all deaths and two thirds of the cases of blindness. The average number of deaths in London from Small pox alone during the eighteenth century was 1,958 per year. The population of London was then about 600,000. In Chester, England in 1744, 1,202 persons were attacked by the Small pox and 202 died out of a population of 14,713. In Ware, England, the population was 2,515 in 1722, 1,601 had the Small pox. Later 612 were attacked, making a total of 2,213 out of 2,515. In other words eighty-five per cent of the population were suffering from Small pox. It was stated that during the eighteenth century 40,000 persons died a year from Small pox in the United Kingdom of Great Britain alone. 40,000 people died a year in Prussia at the same time.

Death Penalty For Reese Henry Reese, 3658 Wabash Ave., was transferred to the death cell Wednesday, after a jury had voted the death sentence for him for the murder of his wife, Mrs. Mary Reese, on Dec. 5, last. The case was first heard in Judge Hebel's court a month ago. At that time, Reese offered to enter a plea of guilty if the death penalty was waived. Judge Hebel rejected this offer, and instructed the defendant to be tried by jury. "Old 8th" Band Leader Laid To Rest With Military Honors William E.
