ALABAMA SHERIFF JAILED FOR LYNCHING HOLD WIFE IN 31st ST. MURDER G. O. P. National Committee Votes Race Equality Vol. 2.—No. 24 URGES CLEAN POLITICS AND FAIR PLAY URGES CLEAN POLITICS AND FAIR PLAY Southerners Insulted. Race equality was urged as the only means of developing clean politics in the United States, especially south of the Mason-Dixon line, in resolutions adopted by the Republican National Committee Thursday afternoon, following the hearing of convention contests based on the alleged inability of negroes to participate in local political meetings. The resolutions were not adopted until after a spirited clash between northern and southern committeemen over the wording, but as finally named they were adopted without a dissenting vote. In them all state organizations were notified that they must discontinue holding local conventions for the election of national delegates "in places where it is the custom and practice to refuse admission to negroes." Hert Backs Resolutions. The resolutions were introduced by Col. Charles B. Warren of Michigan, but their strongest supporter was Committeeman Hert of Kentucky, who argued that the Republican praty's only hope in the south lay in a policy of fairness to whites as well as negroes. The question arose in the course of a hearing of an Oklahoma contest, involving the claims of negroes to seats awarded to white men. The committee succeeded in keeping the color question out of the debate until the negro contestants had been voted down, but Col. Warren introduced the subject immediately after the verdict had been reached. Southerners Call It "Slur." Southern committeemen, headed by W. H. Jackson of Georgia, protested that the resolution was a slur on the south and contended that specific mention of the southern states should be eliminated and its terms broadened to refer to the entire country. Col. Warren accepted an amendment to that effect and it was unanimously adopted by a vice voce vote. In support of his resolution Col. Warren told the committee that it might as well face the race issue in that way for the good of the party. Committeeman Hert of Kentucky supported the motion and declared that since Kentucky of its own action had permitted negro voters and delegates freely, the Republican electorate had been greatly increased. The southern committeemen made no objections to the resolution as it was amended. Col. Warren's Resolution. Col. Warren's resolution follows: "In view of the fact that at this session of national committee and at previous sessions of the national committee and preceding national conventions it has appeared that in some states, meetings of the Republicans have been called in places where it was the custom and practice to deny access to colored people, the national committee gives notice thru its chairman to all the organizations." Republican party that practice must not be followed in the future in any state convention or in any district convention.

Cardinals, Bishops and other richly gowned officials, with Missionary Priests, worn by their labors in torrid climates passed up the center of St. Peter's to receive the announcement of beatification from the Pope Benedict. Last year 78 colored citizens some of them soldiers with wound chevrons, all loyal American citizens, were sacrificed on the Lynching Altar of Democracy in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. No beatification services or note reverence has been sounded about that. SLAYS TWO; THEN KILLS SELF Gary, Ind., June 8. — One of the most horrible tragedies in the history of this city occurred last Tuesday morning when John Greer, alias Jas. Williams, 1629 Adams street shot and killed Mrs. Minnie Worthy, proprietress of a rooming house, John Kelly, a roomer there, and turning the gun on himself, committed suicide. The murdered woman was Grier's landlady, and it is thought that he committed the crime in a fit of jealous rage. It is known that there had been a love affair between Grier and Mrs. Worthy whose husband was a laborer at the works of the Illinois Steel Company. That Grier had brooded over the matter and had deliberately planned the double murder was witnessed by the following letter found upon his person. "This is to the world at large. I have lived my days on earth and saw I am to die, though there are one woman that I shall try to send ahead of me. It is not that I love her so much, it is that she has treated me so dirty it makes me willing to give my life just to take hers. I tried to be good to her and then to be treated by her as I am, why she can't live. I shall kill her then kill myself. Life is already unhappy for me, as I have did this before. I look to be put to death any day." Had Killed Before. "The year 1918, May 11, I shot and killed Bertha Robinson, Hastings, Fla. My name is not James Williams, but John Grier. My home is Dawson, Ga., not Rolia, N. C. My mother's name was Mollie Grier, not Williams. My father's name was Emmanuel Grier. I have five brothers and five sisters. Today I know 'the where sisters. Today I know not the where-abouts of any of them. Now you know that I owuld rather be in hell than for any one to mistreat me. "So, as my life is ruined already, I shall end it. This is not love, but it is to avenge myself. The woman was so bad that I must blow her down, that she will never mistreat another man. I am not mad with the man, but I will kill him, os he can't kill me. Let me kill myself, as I am ready to die, and there will be no one to suffer for my death. I will give my life to take Minnies'." JOHN GRIER." CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JUNE 12th, 1920 THE AMERICAN NEGRO THE ROCK QUESTION HENRY BROWN MARCHED IN A HOLLOW SQUARE AS PROTECTION Montgomery, Ala., June 8. — Willie, alias Jake Crenshaw, colored recently arrested in Birmingham charged with being implicated with the murder of Mrs. Foster Gafford, of Butler county, passed through Montgomery Wednesday morning on his way to Greenville for a preliminary hearing. He returned to Montgomery Tuesday afternoon at 5:50, though whether he passed through was not stated by county officials. He was bound over. Wren Crenshaw reached Montgomery from Birmingham en route for Greenville Governor Kilby phoned Mayor Gunter and requested that a detail of the local police force accompany the prisoner. A platoon of fifteen men from the local police force, with Conrad Austin, chief law enforcer of Alabama, and Sheriff King Murphy of Butler county, escorted the prisoner to Greenville. Members of the police detail who took part in the expedition stated that there was no trouble in Greenville, the prisoner being marched through the streets of the city in the center of a hollow square of officers of the law, and no demonstration being made. Being arraigned, the date of his preliminary hearing was set for June 10, it is stated. The party then returned to Montgomery with their prisoner. Since then, the whereabouts of Crenshaw have become a matter of mystery. Local authorities deny that he is in the Montgomery county jail, expressing the belief that he would not be incarcerated in a place near Greenville. PRISONER FATALLY WOUNDED BY DEPUTY SHERIFF. Peoria, Ill., June 8.—Kaiser Brown colored, convicted of burglary, is near death in a hospital as a result of a bullet wound received from the gun of Deputy Sheriff Hunt after a fierce fight. Brown used a gun in an attempted jail delivery. LYNCHER GOES TO JAIL SEEK COLORED MAN FIND HALF-WIT WHITE Waco, Texas, June 8. Rosa Mc- Court of Appeals Turns Down Petition and Condemns His Conduct. Montgomery, Ala., June 8. — Sim Andrews, Deputy Sheriff of Baldwin county, who was convicted of complicity in the lynching of Frank Foukal, a prisoner in the Baldwin county jail, received no mercy from the court of appeals in its decision Tuesday afternoon, affirming a sentence of 10 years imposed by the trial court. In addition to sustaining the judgment of the lower court, the appellate court in the opinion of Judge William H. Samford, condemned Andrews for his complicity in the lynching, at a time when he was charged by law with the protection of the prisoner even at the sacrifice of his own life. Andrews attempted to obtain a new trial because the trial court, among other things, declined to give the jury a charge, which would have explained his motive for being a part of the mob. Referring to the charge and Andrew's part in the crime, Judge Sanford said: "Every act testified to in this case connecting the defendants with the commission of the crime showed that he was a part of the mob, which in defiance of law and constituted authority, entered the jail in Baldwin county and murdered one of the inmates, whom he as a deputy sheriff of the county was under official duty to protect with his life; that notwithstanding his high duty he made no protest nor offered any physical resistance, but his every act was in line with the purposes of the mob, who in disregard of the laws of God and the state, moved in the nighttime behind masks to murder its helpless and defenseless victim. His secret and undisclosed motives for being in the mob and a part of it cannot on his trial for murder be made the basis of his acquittal." Waco, Texas, June 8. — Rosa McCutcheon, 14 years old, daughter of a white farmer was attacked by a colored man about 18 years old according to the description given by the girl, a mile from the home of her parents early yesterday morning as she was enroute to work in the fields. According to the story of the girl, the colored man was driven away by the noise of an approaching cultivator. The girls' clothes were torn from her body when rescuers arrived. When the news of the attack reached Waco, all the available officers of the sheriff's, constable's, and police department augmented by a throng of curiosity seekers rushed to the scene of the alleged attack. They were aided in their search by a posse of armed farmers, but a thorough search of the vicinity failed to reveal any person answering the description of the colored man. The searchers did find, however, a half wit poor white skulking in the underbrush near the scene of the alleged attack. The moron had clutched in his hands some shreds of clothing which corresponded to that which the girl was wearing. As he did not correspond to the description of the unknown colored man, the half wit was not arrested. NERVE FAILED; HE'S IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW Opelika, Kas., June 8. — Sheriff W. A. Betts accidentally and unexpectedly discovered and captured a complete kitchenette distilling outfit and 30 gallons of regulation illicit booze in a negro house near Goat Rock early this morning. The "plant" was in full blast at the time, and Charlie Dozier, the colored operator, was caught in the very act of manufacturing the stuff. Driving along the public road in the vicinity of Goat Rock, the sus- (Continued on page 2.) THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR EIGHT PAGES MUI Race E 23 Postage Stamps Cost Him 14 Years Louisville, Ky., June 8. — For the theft of twenty-three 2-cent postage stamps, John Hawkins, colored, 19 years old, will spend two to fourteen years in Indiana Reformatory. He pleaded guilty yesterday to stealing the Stamps Tuesday night from the Central Coal Company, Seventh and Wall Streets, Jeffersonville. Hawkins was paroled from the reformatory ten months ago, and went to Indianapolis. Tuesday he returned to Jeffersonville, and that night he broke a window near the coal office, broke open a money drawer and stole the stamps, according to his confession. James F. O'Neil, manager of the coal company, found the boy at Seventh Street and Broadway, Jeffersonville, put him in an automobile and took him to police headquarters. Fifteen hours after the robbery Hawkins was sentenced and at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon was back at the reformatory. INSISTS ON SEARCHING HOME: SHOT DEAD New Orleans, La., June 8. — Deputy Sheriff Joseph Viola, shot in the right lung, Monday afternoon, while attempting to arrest Ollie Smith, colored, in a house at 1717 Wall street, died in the Charity Hospital, Thursday afternoon. Mr. Viola was 45 years old, married, and resided at 1330 Spain St. He had been connected with the First City Criminal Court but a short time, previous to his being wounded by Smith. Following the wounding of Deputy Sheriff Viola Smith was shot six times. At the Charity Hospital, where Smith is being guarded night and day, physicians state he has a fair chance to recover. Should Smith survive his wounds he will charged with murder and tried for the killing of Deputy Viola. Deputy Sheriffs John Pretorious and Viola left the First City Criminal Court, Monday with a capias for the arrest of Ollie Smith and Charles Dent, for the alleged larceny of $300 from J. Gallioto, 1420 North Anthony Street. They were accompanied by Gallioto, who had sworn out the warrant. The three men went to the home of Dent, 7117 Wall street, where it was said the men were at that time. The officers were met at the front of the house by Maggie Dent, who stated that neither of the men were at home. The deputies insisted on searching the house, while Pretorious went to the rear. The latter named officer opened a door and there stood Smith with two revolvers. Smith opened fire, the first bullet passing through the officer's hat. Returning the fire, the deputy force Smith towards the front of the house. As Smith was leaving the house he was shot by Deputy Pretorious. In making his escape, Smith shot Deputy Viola in the right shoulder, the bullet tearing through the lung. Falling to the ground Viola emptied his revolver at Smith. Five of the six bullets struck Smith. Despite the six wounds Smith kept running. He was followed several blocks and arrested in a house at Audubon and Elizabeth Streets by Deputy Pretorius and Corporal John Marshall. PRICE FIVE CENTS RDER quality BARBER SLAIN ENTERING HOME BARBER SLAIN ENTERING HOME Wife Held as Material Witness. William Lewis, a barber was shot to death in his home at 66 E. 31st St., early Monday morning. There were no witnesses to the shooting except Lewis' wife, Mrs. Geneva Lewis, who is being held as a material witness. Lewis operated a barber shop in the front room of the 31st Street building, and lived with his wife and stepchild in rooms which were partitioned off in the rear. It is claimed that Mrs. Lewis says that her husband was returning home at 3:00 a.m. Monday morning and was shot by a burglar who followed him in the front way and fled through the back after committing the shooting. Police are holding Mrs. Lewis as material witness pending further investigation of the murder. It has been hinted that the police do not place much credence in her story of the shooting. At the coroner's inquest Monday afternoon in the front room of the barber shop, investigation was continued until June 16 upon request of Mrs. Lewis' attorney, Louis Anderson. Lewis was a tall, rather slender light complected man, aged about 40, and weighing about 150 lbs. He came to Chicago about a year ago from Macon, Ga. REFUSE TO SWEAR IN NEGRO AS NOTARY Statesville, N. C., June 7.—When A. H. Nixon, a teacher here, appeared before the Clerk of the Court for the County of Iredell to be sworn in as a notary public after receiving the appointment from Governor Bickett, the clerk refused to administer the oath without giving any reason for such refusal. When pressed for a reason he offered the specious explanation that the papers were illegally drawn and that it would take several weeks to readjust them. He advised Mr. Nixon to leave the papers with him. However, suspecting the motive for this request, Mr. Nixon refused to leave the papers. Instead he wired Governor Bickett, advising him of the clerk's action, and is now waiting to see what action the Governor will take. Mr. Nixon has studied law and is eligible as an applicant for the bar examination. His appointment to the office of notary public came after a careful examination of his character and fitness for the office by Governor Bickett. GETS LIFE TERM FOR KILLING TAXI DRIVER Gulfport, June 8. — Ollie Miller and Robert North, white former sailors of the Gulfport Naval Training Station, charged with the murder of John O'Neil, Gulfport taxi driver, have been sentenced to serve a life sentence in the state/penitentiary. Sailor McCook, a third member, turned state's evidence and was freed. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP The daily papers seem delighted in burlesquing the colored delegates to the National Convention. We wish that we could get a snapshot of a few of the "cracker" delegates from the South. They have ruined the floor of the Coliseum by the splittings from their uncouth plug tobacco. Since so much money has been spent to buy delegates, how many of these "crackers" have been bought? These daily papers seem to think that we alone love political easy money. A certain gentleman in our city says that black bishops should not preside over white dioceses. He is right if he is referring to that class of moss-back uncle Tom bishops who have disgraced colored Methodism. There are certain bishops whom we all know who have disgraced our race and the ideals of religion. They shouldn't preside over any diocese, either colored or white. Honest, christian bishops, however, should preside over any christian diocese in the world. Color should play no part. One of the delegates, colored, to the National Convention is quoted by the Tribune as having a new solution to the race question. We don't care to learn of it. This gentleman has been a delegate to the Conventions since 1890. He has never protested against Jim Crow laws, segregation, and disfranchisement, and he takes great pleasure in referring to the fact that he is a former slave, and was owned by Jeff Davis, the rebel president. We consider him a handerchief head, Uncle Tom Negro, still a slave in thought and action. He may be a delegate to the National Convention, but he does not represent the psychology of the New Negro. In making a colored man's choice for the president, we wonder if those who will nominate the president know anything about the E. St. Louis, Ill., riot, the battle of Santiago and the treatment of colored soldiers, or the California legislation against the Japanese, and by whom it was influenced. We wonder? If Houdini, the magician who can worm his way out of cages, straight jackets, and all kinds of confinement were to come to Chicago and get caught in the human deadlock that forms on 35th and State St., he would find a hard time getting out. The State St. Strollers congregating on this corner have made it a hard job to wriggle and eel out of that maze of listless, aimless human corner-posts. We wonder why some of the The minions of the law don't keep the crowd on the move.

If the republican party platform is built upon sound economic and business principles, with a plank that would tend to reduce the high cost of everything, another taking a firm stand against a league of nations, then the southern seates, particularly the border or commonwealths, will show a tremendously strong republican vote this fall, according to a number of national committeemen and delegates attending the preliminaries to the republican au- "It is unwise to say that the republican party will carry any southern states this fall, because it won't, to speak plainly," said Congressman C. B. Slemp, Virginia's national committeeman. "Since the civil war only one district has changed its politics in Virginia, that being the 9th the one I represent. There are only two such congressional districts in Tennessee and a similar condition in several other southern states. However, the wise politicians of the party in the south are working toward strength in the future.

The intelligent class of white men and colored men doctors, lawyers, merchants, profession al men of all kinds, are gradually coming to the republican fold. If, as I have stated before, the party makes the platform for this year such a one as will be acceptable to the people of the south, who, strange as it may seem are opposed to the Wilson administration, then much success, even this year may be expected. Six of our fifteen delegates are instructed for Lowden Wood has three and the rest are uninstructed. I believe that they will support the Illinois governor." What border states may be expected to do was given in another talk by Seymour S. Price of Oklahoma City delegate from the 5th district in that state. "We elected J. W. Harreld to congress there in a district which had all ways been predominately democratic,' he said, 'his platform being based up on opposition to the league of nations He was the first to be sent to congress in the country on that issue and while his election is taken by Oklahoma republicans as indicating a strong sentiment for the party which never existed before, it was taken in Washington as an omen of what may be expected from the party as a whole on this issue. An opposition to the league of nations' plank in the republican platform will, I believe, carry the border states. Situation in Mississippi. "Tennessee and Kentucky are stronger republican than they ever were before, while further east the border vote is going to surprise the nation this fall." "If the people of Mississippi had another opportunity to vote for senator, Pat Harrison would be defeated and James K. Vardaman would be returned to the senate," said L. B. Phillips, of Eupora, a contesting delegate of the M. J. Mulvihill faction. Harrison was elected when President Wilson wrote a letter to a prominent democrat of the state in which he said that the re-election of Senator Vardaman would be regarded as a direct affront to the administration. Vardaman was defeated—but if the people, thinking what they do now of the Wilson administration, could have it to do over, Vardaman would be elected by a large majority. "Not long ago I was talking with a confederate army veteran and another man, the son of a confederate veteran. They expressed themselves as unalterably opposed to the Wilson administration. The younger man stated to me that he was in a state where a republican vote would count he would vote the republican ticket this fall. Younger Men Are Changing. "The older man, the veteran of the civil war, and those of their families where the republican opposition has been kept green in the family circles, will not vote republican, of course, but the younger man and those who have gone to the south from northern states in the last ten years—and there has been a great number of them—as well as the colored people, are going to make the state sit up this fall." "The republican party will not carry Mississippi," said Committee Mulvihill, "but I believe the sentiment is growing there more than ever before. The republican strength in the state lies in the future. We are building steadily and surely and something in the way of evidence may be expected at the 1924 convention. The whole south is in opposition to the Wilson administration, especially upon the league of nations issue, but all we can do this year is to hope." "Bullet Proof" Bowers Awarded Prize Because Patrolman Jeremiah Bowers, colored, "kept his lace to the foe", despite a murderous pistol fire on the night of May 13. The Chicago Tribune awarded him its $100 bravery prize for May. While he was closing in on a South Side bad man in a poolroom at 3701 South LaSalle street, Bowers was sturck three times by bullets, which riddled his uniform. That none of the bullets caused his death is regarded as one of the miracles of police department history. Bowers had been told that Roy Charlton, a burber, had fired several shots near thirty-seventh and LaSalle Sts., and walked into the pool room in search of him. Charlton drew a revolver and blazed away without warning. The Bullet Proof Cop. Let the report of Capt. M. J. Gallery of the Decering street station tell how Bowers "kept his face to the foe": "The first bullet his Bowers over the heart going through his steel spectacle case, but being deflected sufficiently to save him. The officer did not flinch, though the bullet staggered him, but kept on coming toward the murderous man with the gun. "The second bullet struck Bowers in the abdomen, driving his watch out of his pocket and being deflected by the chain and watch ring. THE CHICAGO WHIP "The third bullet was fired when the two were at close quarters. Charlton shoved his gun into the officer's groin and fired." Wings His Assailant. The powder burned Bowers' trousers, but for some unknown reason, although there was nothing to deflect the bullet this time, it did not take effect and Bowers' life was saved a third time." After the third shot, Bowers sent a bullet through his assailant's wrist and the battle was over. Mr. Macdowell, at one time resident of Mexico, and Mr. Castaign, president of La Clava Espanola, swore last Friday to make La Clava Espanola surpass "Le Cercle Français".

Marines Two hundred and fifty bluejackets were held in reserve at the Great Lakes Naval Training station last week, while twenty armed provost guards patrolled the streets of Waukegan to prevent another outbreak of rice rioting. Strict orders were given by Rear Admiral Frederick H. Bassett, commandant at Great Lakes, that no sailor except those who have passes should be allowed in Waukegan. He conducted an investigation, questioning fifty men, who admitted participation in the riots Wednesday night, when a mob attempted to burn the Sherman house, a hotel for colored people. Investigations also were conducted by Mayor Julius F. Bidinger of Waukegan, Peter McDermott, commissioner of public health, and Chief of Police Thomas Tyrell, with the result that the blame for inciting the rioting was laid at the doors of Waukegan civilians. Provost guards from the Great Lakes station, the Waukegan police and friends of F. A. Campbell, a marine in the 15th regiment stationed at Great Lakes, joned today in a search for Campbell, who disappeared Wednesday night during the race riot at Waukegan. Mrs. Campbell, a bride of 3 weeks, appealed to the police to search for her husband, saying she believed he was killed in the riot. She said that he was in Waukegan Wednesday night with a friend and disappeared. A detachment of provost guards was detailed to search the ravine in which the rioting occurred. With the Actors.

Grace Lyceum was enjoyed by a large and appreciative audience Sunday afternoon. There was some disappointment because Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia was to have been the speaker of the afternoon, but in his absence Mr. C. S. Johnson a member of Gov. Lowden's Race Commission representing Mr. T. Arnold Hill who was kept away on account of illness in his family, spoke very interestingly of the work and efforts and success of the Urban League of Chicago. The music was especially good. Mrs. Broadus Anderson did the obligato work with the choir under Prof. Tinsley's direction in the rendition of Clamattius. Mrs. DeWitt Smith, soprano of wide popularity sang two selections which were highly appreciated.

Clint Hill was elected financial secretary of Musicians' Local 208, to succeed the late W. E. Berry. Mr. Hill is quite popular with the brotherhood. Negro Athletes' Series (Continued.) Then there is Basketball which also has a strong appeal for our people. As yet there is no recognized authority rating Colored Basketball players each year, as in Football and Track. So we are not justified in comparing the relative merits of the Colored Basketball players with those of the white. However, we have had many representatives on the College and University Teams of the country who have been recognized as stars on their respective teams. In addition to this, we are represented by entire teams both in our Southern Schools and by Athletic Clubs around New York, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburg, Kansas City and Des Moines, Iowa. Another sport of which we do not hear so much, but in which many of our people are finding much pleasure and enjoyment, is tennis. This year, for the first time, Colored Tennis players of the country have been officially rated. Washington, D. C., seems to lead in the number of people engaged in this sport and in the amount of enthusiasm shown, however, there are other cities having Tennis Clubs ranking very high, among which are Los Angeles, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Boston, Springfield, Mass., and New Haven, Conn. As for Baseball, since it is a professional sport, and our reputation as Baseball players is so well recognized, the writer feels that it is superfluous to dwell at length on this subject. One of the outstanding features is, that beginning next year we will have an organized Colorgd League. The circuit as yet has not been definitely decided, but will probably include New York City, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Detroit, Kansas City and Philadelphia. So much for Professional Baseball. As for Amateur Baseball there are but few towns that do not boast of a team. All of the Southern Colleges are represented by excellent teams, and as members of teams representing the Northern Colleges and Universities, the Negro has been a very important factor. The aforementioned sports are those which have the largest following and in which the largest number of our athletes have competed. However, in Association Football, Rugby, La Crosse, Hoeyey, Inter-Collegiate Wrestling and Boxing, we have had representatives and very often champions. In fact, there is no athletic sport of which I have knowledge, in which the Negro has not proven himself highly proficient, unless it is Golf, and it is possible that we will have National representatives in this sport in the future.

It is well said that the law of success is as definite as the law of gravitation and one must prepare in advance for opportunities. Therewas a time when a man could get a position because he was the son of his prospectiveemployer's friend; but now the times have changed. A business man considers it economical suicide to employ an incompetent man merely for the sake of friendship or sympathy. Efficiency is the only pass-word to success. The price of success is perseverance, disappointment and oftimes destitution; but he who has the will to win cannot help but success. The Y. M. C. A. is ready at all times to help in the promotion of such movements which will ultimately bring true freedom to our people. To be educated is to know the way to true freedom. The first Chicago graduation exercises of the Poro College were held in the Y. M. C. A. Gymnasium, Monday, June 7, 8 P. M. About 225 agents were present. George W.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS NOTES OF THE GAME There were about 10,000 pop-eyed fans out to "smoke' em off. The Magnets looked good in practice, but that was all. The squeeze play was worked successfully six times for as many runs. Williams had a bad day at short; after accepting three hard chances he threw badly to first, allowing the runner to get on, but that was all. The dolls were out in droves, all set in their best clothes. The umpires and players were all who were present in the last three halves. There was a Wood Campaign feather for every lady present. C. I. Taylor will be here Sunday to get his dose. The Magnets should be named the "maggots", they crawl around so much. After all, it was a nice day. Giants Rout Magnets. Stars Win Series From Chicagoans. Split Even Memorial Day; Honner Only Score of 2nd. Detroit, Mich, June 7. Detroit Stars won the series with Chicago Giants three games to one by taking the afternoon game Memorial Day, Holland besting Taylor in a pitchers battle, 1 to 0. Riggins scored Detroit's run in the eighth inning, driving the ball to right field fence for a home run. Holland kept the Chicago hits scattered. The stellar work of the Stars' infield, especially that of Wesley at first base, spolled any chance the visitors had of scoring. The morning game was a heavy hitting contest. Chicago winning, 9 to 7. Capt. "Pete" Hill gave Brown and Green, two of his colt pitchers, a chance. Both were hit hard. Bookwith was the leading clubber for the visitors, his three-hagger being one of the longest hits seen at Mack park this season. Eggleston was the big offensive man for Detroit, driving out two doubles and a triple.

Costly errors in the ninth cost the Monarchs a victory in the second battle of the series with the Cuban Stars at Association Park. Sunday June 6th. The visitors wining 5 to 3, before a crowd of eight thousand. With the count tied 3to 3 in the final round, a base on balls, a sacrifice and a pair of wild throws enabled the Cubans to count a pair of tallies, while the Monarchs were unable to connect with the offerings of LeBlue in their half of the inning. "Rube" Cunie pitched a steady game for the Monarchs keeping the Cubans' blows well scattered but his mates were unable to spot him enough runs to win the combat. The Monarchs jumped in the lead in the first inning by hammering Le Blane for a couple of runs, added another run in the fifth when Le Blane for a couple of runs added another throw in from left field on Donaldson's single; after the fifth the Cubans settled down and allowed the Monarchs only one soft hit during the remainder of the game.

Guenther & Son "Cleaners With A Reputation" EXPERT CLEANERS 11 THE CHICAGO WHIP ORTS By Fulton To Fight Colored Heavyweight Tom O'Reutke, the veteran manager of Fred Fulton, wrote recently that he would be glad to have his protege fight the great Colored heavyweight, Harry Willis, if some one would give his "his price". A man in New York speaking of the matter, said that he would be glad to give Fulton any reasonable guarantee to box Willis, and would promote the match very soon. Fulton has never drawn the color line. He has boxed and defeated Sam Lingford and Jack Thompson among others. The one way cat is for him to refuse to box Willis would be that the match would not draw. However, if O'Poule is given a guarantee, then he need not worry about what comes in at the gate. He will get his before he starts. The old feeling against bouts between Colored and white men seems to be on the wane. It was merely an aftermath of the reign of Jack Johnson as heavyweight champion. Years ago, when George Dixon and Joe Wolett were in their prime, there was little discrimination against the Colored boxers. Jack Johnson's savory reputation injured the Colored boxers immeasurably. As a matter of fact there is little reason for any outcry against mixed bouts. If a man takes up the prize ring as a profession it should matter little what his color may be. There is nothing esthetic about the professional boxing game. It is a rough and ready lawrow sport. And it always will be. At the affair given by the International Sparting Club, at the Commercial hotel, recently, Joe Wolett boxed an exhibition and was loudly acclaimed. The night that Georges Carpenter was tendered a dinner at the same hostelry, Colored boxers performed for the edification of men of culture and refinement whose names are a beword in the business and social world. The only discrimination against boxers that is fair, is against those who fake and do not do their best. But in this respect white boxers are not a bit better than Colored ones. As a matter of fact the banning of mixed bouts has tended to make the Colored boxers stall. Since Johnson's day they have had to fight among themselves. Naturally if they were around knocking each other out all the time they would be unable to get matches at all. Harry Wilke is a big aggressive, skillful boxer. So far known he bears an excellent reputation for honesty and trying. If he can defeat the white challengers of Jack Dempsey, he should be allowed to do so. There is no reason for a color line in a roughneck sport like boxing. It is laughable and utterly ridiculous. Aug.

Phone Douglas 9194 By "Full of Pep" Colored Man Is Accused Of Attacking Watchman. Trial of the case of Buck Dickerson, colored, charged with making an attack upon W. E. Eagle, night watchman at the store of Reed & Duecker, was begun in second criminal court yesterday morning. The jury probably will get the case by moon today and a verdict is expected during the afternoon. Dickerson is charged with assault to commit murder, the indictment alleging that he is the man who attacked the night watchman at Reed & Dueckers's place of business on the night of Jan. 17. The colored man was identified by Eagle as the man with whom he exchanged several shots in the store building on Main Street after the watchman had discovered a light burning on the second floor of the building and proceeded to investigate. Eagle took the witness stand yesterday as chief witness for the prosecution. He swore that he discovered Dickerson in the building shortly after 1 o'clock in the morning and that the colored man began firing at him with a pistol. The watchman said that he returned the fire and several shots were exchanged, none of them taking effect. Eagle said that the colored man ran from the building and that he followed to the sidewalk at the rear. When he emerged from the doorway the watchman said that he saw a white man standing on the sidewalk. He claims to have attempted to fire upon this man, but said his pistol missed fire. The watchman says that as he was standing in the doorway attempting to shoot at the man he was hit on the back of the head by an assailant who had approached from behind. He said he did not know who struck him. A few minutes after the shooting affray fire was discovered in the Reed & Duecker building and when firemen reached the scene they found the unconscious watchman lying in the rear doorway in an insensible condition. He was removed to the hospital and remained unconscious until during the afternoon of the following day. While at the hospital Eagle identified Dickerson as the colored man who fired the shots prior to the time he was hit on the head. It was believed at the time that Eagle was attacked by burglars who attempted to loot the establishment and later fired the building, believing that Eagle had been killed by the blow which he received.

Vasa, Atlanta Convention Makes Negro History Resolutions Call for Economic, Educational and Political Equality. BY WALTER F. WHITE. (Assistant secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.) Atlanta, Ga., June 3.—History has been made in Atlanta during the past four days by the small group of pioneers who arranged the eleventh annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Six hundred delegates came from the north and west, but they came, they say, to accomplish the real emancipation of the negro race. They represented a hundred thousand association members in forty three states. White and colored joined in a "conspiracy" to pretend that they were not afraid of possible consequences of outspokenness. Each speaker at each meeting, from the Rev. Plato Durham, a white pastor of note, to fiery colored orators, talked a deal of frankness and openness. "Brothers" was a word used by the whites. And old stories of negro mummies and personal affection elicited polite laughter from the negro audience. "But it is not personal affection we desire," declared the leaders. No "Jim Crow" Cars on Way Home. Last night's meeting was the last of the conference, the first conference to be held in a southern state. Delegates and the pioneering whites from the north have left for their homes in a special Pullman train which has no "Jim Crow" division of the races. Detroit, Mich., was chosen as the next meeting place of the association. Dr. W.E. B. DuBois, at the final mass meeting enunciated beliefs and demands of the 100,000 negroes that his organization represents. Dr. DuBois, recipient of the Spingarn medal and editor of the Crisis, official organ of the association, made a strong plea for the negroes right to vote. He pointed out that disfranchisement and lynching go hand in hand. "It is the negro who rules the south," he said, declaring that the negro question is the main question in every election and the main element in every social problem. He bore out the statement of southern writers that the problem is ever present and increasingly poignant. The Rev. C. Breckenridge Wilmer of Atlanta, president of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Atlanta, and Mrs. W. Spencer Murray, member of the advisory committee of the national woman's party, were other speakers. Resolutions were passed unanimously at the meeting and ordered sent to President Wilson and both houses of congress asking for the enforcement of economic, educational and political equality. William Pickens demanded a betterment of the human relationship between negroes and the whites before an audience of nearly 3000 Tuesday night. Pickens, who is noted as a negro orator, exhorted his audience, which with the exception of northern delegates was composed of negroes, "to organize and acquire self-consciousness," adding, "the race pride is the first step in our emancipation; the task of our association is first to instruct the colored people as to what they want. Segregation "Cause of Lynching." "Segregation is the cause of lynching," declared Pickens. "Unless the white man knows us he will be prejudiced against us. We know all about the white man. We know his home. We know his intellect and we know his morals. The Rev. Peter James Bryant, a negotiate pastor, joke with fire on the evils of segregation. He asked that colored men allowed to sit on juries and bring in verdicts according to evidence. Advancement of Negro. "Of all statistics about the advance of any class or race, those of the negro race, comparing 1866 and 1919 are most amazing. "Homes have increased from 12,000 to 600,000; farms operated from 20,000 to 1,000,000; businesses conducted from 2,100 to 50,000; wealth accumulated from $20,000,000 to $1,100,000,000; literacy from 10 per cent to 90 per cent; colleges and normal schools from 15 to 500; students in public schools from 100,000 to 1,800,000; teachers from 600 to 38,000; property for higher education from $60,000 to $22,000,000; annual expenditure for education from $700,000 to $15,000,000; churches from 700 to 43,000; communicants from 600,000 to 4,800,000; Sunday schools from 1,000 to 46,000; Sunday school pupils from 50,000 to 2,250,000; church property from $1,500,000 to $85,000,000." "In 1910 of negroes ten years of age and over 87.4 per cent of males and 54.7 per cent of females were gainfully employed as compared with 80.6 per cent and 19.4 per cent of whites. More than one-half of these were farm laborers alone. In a single decade negro farm owners increased 17 per cent and their land in 1910 was valued at $346,881,270. There has been a gradual transfer from the less killed to skilled occupations. In the decade ending 1910 there was an increase of 103 per cent in factory workmen, the increase in textile factories being 283 per cent. They operate insurance companies with assets amounting to $3,500,000, with $60,000,000 insurance in force. There are 72 negro banks, capitalized at $12,500,000, doing an annual business of $35,000,000. "Negroes invested in Liberty bonds $1 of every $5 they possessed. There were 340,000 in the army, and only one case of conviction for avoiding the draft." The program concluded with an address by James Weldon Johnson, field secretary, who said in part: "Figures gathered by Tuskegee, a leading Chicago newspaper and the association show that assault is not the cause of lynching of negroes, the commonly accepted version. Of 1,985 negroes lynched in the southern states, the period of 1883-1903, this cause was assigned in 675 cases. In 1,310 cases other causes were assigned. Murder alone, for which there can be conceiv- ably no justification for not letting the ordinary procedure of law take its course, was assigned for 753 cases. Minor offenses, such as slender and giving information, were given in 206 cases. "From 1889 to 1918, thirty years, the lynched number was 2,472, of which 523 were for alleged assault. In past thirty years, fifty negro women were lynched. THE TRUTH ABOUT MEXICO You won't find it in the capitalist press, of course.

It is the mental food for the great fourth estate or the common people who control the destinies of the unborn generations. It influences the brain forces of humanity and directs the tide of public opinion. The Negro has been the victim of this wonderful institu- tion. It is possible to slowly, surely and constructively adjust these evils thru counter propaganda thru Negro newspapers. The Negro’s side must be presented in cold-blooded manner to the world. The white man must know the'Negro’s version of American institutions. The Negro must know himself, his virtues, achievements, limitations and vices. The Negro’s own opinion must be changed as to himself and his oppressor. The white man’s opinion must be changed by the influence of hard facts. The Negro newspapers are his most valuable weapon. While his works of literary genius mouds in solemn libraries, the blatant newspapers go into the high places and into the hands and hearts of teeming millions. The Negro newspaper is the most valuable of the natural weapons. The sword is in its scabbard until the time ripens for its unsheathing. The trenchant pen is lifted and it will be dipped into the heart’s blood of a brow-beaten race. The written and printed words will sear and burn the conscience of all guilty persons. The written and printed word will shake off the apathy of many cycles and aeons. Let those who love the race, support the papers with spirit and substance. Let us make use of our natural weapons. 1HE NEGRO AND CHICAGO, PAST AND PRESENT By Lieut. J. E. Hawkins WILLIAM J. WARFIELD. | The act for which Lieut. Warfield | William J. Warfield, Ist Lieuten- tant, Company L, 370th Infantry, is a native born Chicagoan, as has un- doubtedly brought more credit to the race than any colored officer in the United States Army. Lieut. Warfield, was the only col- ored soldier to receive both th: Croix D’Guerre and the United State: Distinguished Service medal, and the act he performed in winning this not- able recognition from two govern. ments stands without parallel in the history of the Negro Soldier during the Worlds War and should forever live in the memory of the race. The war is over and our boys who have survived have returned to their voca- tions of life and the many deeds of valor they have performed upon the field of battle have almost become at the monthly meetings of the “Legions.” The author notes that since the closing of the war that many returned ehros have received the honor that they merited by the people of their home communities wo not only gave them more lucrative positions but ‘elected them to public office. Lieut. Warfield is a candidate for the General Assembly of the State of Minois and we as a race should pat- tern after the example set by other groups and reward of our heroes. | Lieut. Warfield, was born on But- terfield St., now known as Federal, in 1883; he was educated in the pubile schools of Chicago and was the first colored man appointed a Bailiff. of the Municipal Court— jwhich positions he held with credit. He has also filled many important positions in the various departments of the County and City, chief among them being Investigator of the Chi- cago Law Department, and at the present writing is one of the Deputy Assessors working out of the office of Mr. Chas. Krutchoff. He is of a very retiirng disposition but one of the most pohpular men in the city and as a soldier he had the confidence of the men under him. He was a strict dis- ciplinarian and ruled by getting con- trol of the “Heart Strings” of the soldiers rather then the authority of his rank. He would not send his |men into battle places that he would | not go himself and would see to it that every rule that governed the safety of his troops were strictly ad. hered too. THE SIN OF SILENCE. “ ——_— To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards vut of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the in- quisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our feast disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. THE STEADY SUBSCRIBER. How dear to our heart is the steady subscriber Who pays in advance without skipping a year; Who takes out his money and forwards it gladly And sends to our office a halo of cheer. He never says “Stop it, I cannot afford it,” Or, “Getting more magazines now than I read.” But always says “‘Send it, the whole family wants it, In fact it’s the one indispensable need.” Se ee ee The Chicago Whip An Independent Ni Published Every Week) Cee ia Vol. 2 June 12th, 1920 No, 24 a ee poeaer THE CHICAGO PUBLISHING COMPANY (Not Incorporated) emncacd derce GAS Skee era lee teehae vis Cenk re cis eats Minas en ce Soa ae eae Peetu pipes ccs Aue tan “All onsolicited rlicles, manuscripts, letters and pictures sent to the CHICAGO See ee nee mie ito acon Se anion Bree ee ae ens one On, Seen eee ot Be re ite ete erie eae mire eee Reena eases GU (meen Pea ee ar egies eee OR aes: «cc “Admitted as second class matter, Oct, 21, ‘19, at the Post Olfice at Chicago, Ill, ADVERTISING BATES ON APPLICATION Ce a asain —— w' DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MO.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. q THE G.O.P AND THE NEGRO The bitter fight for the elimination of the Negro Delegates to the National Republican Convention is a disgrace to Democ- racy. It is a bitter pill for the advocates of the Golden Rule to swallow, But it is just what we predicted and expected. It is in keeping with Anglo American Philosophy which is based upon the law of “Advantage and disadvantage”. The leaders of the Republican party are trying to get a foothold among the whites of the solid South. . It has shown its willingness to sacri- fice the Negro if necessary to accomplish this feat. It would take only a thimble full of common sense to convince the honorable leaders of the party that it is on a “wild goose chase.” It is just as impossible to grow a true dyed in the wool white Republican in hellish environments of the South as it is to incubate Goldfish in Carbolic Acid. The ideals and practices of the White South are not compatible with thoses of the Republican Party. The south believes in the sovereignty of the State, the right of secession, subjugation and enslave- ment of labor, class aristocracy and racial superiority. The Republican Ideals are, federation, the rights of the majority, the dignity and freedom of Labor, the equalty and Brotherhood. of man. cesan.Uhp,principles are so much at variance th-kuthe cheam cannot be bridged. If the South can bé changed, the metamor- phosis will not be effected through compromise or persuasion. Lincoln tried this proceedure for years and failed. A million lives were lost, billions of dollars in property devasted in the experiment. The South has not undergone any appreciable change of | heart. If the Republican Party is alive and prosperous, if it is to prove to the civilized world that it is in earnest about the adoption of the principle of the brotherhood of man, equal op- portunity to all men and special privileges to none, it must stop its “pussy-footing” with the tyrant of Lynchland. The Negro is the only Republican in Dixie. He has for fifty years kept the party in power. If the party shows ingra- titude for passed favors from black men, black men as a body will revise the old Mosaic Theory of “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” Then the days of the party will be num- bered. That the Negro is determined to refuse the crumbs from Lily White Tables is not maudlin talk but a stern real- ity. Watch your step Mr. G, O. P. NEWSPAPERS---A_ NATURAL WEAPON Man has been strangely slow to use his natural weapons. The brain is one of the distinctive natural weapons of humanity. What man lacks in brute strength, he is able to balance with brain force. The greatest wars of history have been brain wars. The directing power of the brain has guided inanimate shot, gas and infernal missile into horrifying fratricide. The bat- tle of the sword has been the subject of history, of fiction and of poetry. Brain power has also been the directing force in the battle with the pen. The endless debate of whether the greater strength lay in the sword or the pen has played an im- portant role upon the mundane sphere of life. The Negro has been in every war since the flight of years began. He boasts with pride of his glorious military achieve- ments. He lauds his military genius and the superior brain force of his heroes. His battle with the pen have been of negligible quantity. We refer with pride to our literary lime- lights. However, in the struggle against race predjudice, proscription and persecution, the “natural weapon” of the pen has been slowly seized upon by the Negro. The most salient evil in America is the perverted public opinion, This opinion controls popular sentiment and both permeates and contaminates the Ametican white man’s mind against the Negro. The Negro is the victim of Mal-formed opinion. He has failed to use his most powerful weapon to counteract and correct this evil. The adage of “fighting fire with fire” is well in mind. It is necessary to fight opinion with counter opinion. The white newspapers have intensified race predjudice, precipitated riots, illusioned good thinkers, cor- rupted good characters, maligned good citizens and have fostered thru the columns of their dirty sheets the insidious propaganda against the Negroes that have resulted in his present unfortunate status. The newspaper is one of the strongest factors in civilization. .It is the medium thru which THE CHICAGO WHIP | The act for which Lieut.
