International President Railway Men's International Industrial Benevolent Association. TOO SHARP FOR N. O. MAN WHO SHAVED PAWN BROKER LINCOLN DEAD Vol. 2.—No. 29 BOLD Claim RAILWAY ASSOCIASION WITH SU By Robert International President Railway Me Associ To permit even Race newspapers to carry glaring headlines, editorial comment and news association reports alleging and asserting that the color line was wiped out by action of the Convention of the American Federation in Convention at Montreal, Canada without properly explaining the exact meaning of the action taken is to mislead and falsely instruct the colored American laboring man. In submitting the following comment on the action of the Federation of Labor, I do so in the interest of truth and with a sincere desire to serve the best interest of the colored laboring man first, and to do justice and give credit to the liberal element of the white organized labor movement next. The American Federation of Labor has not wiped out the color line. In the American Federation of Labor the color line has never existed any more so than the color line has existed in the constitution of the United States since the passage of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, but and here is the story: The American Federation of Labor in order to eliminate the color discrimination as practiced by the subordinate National and International Unions affiliated with the Federation of Labor, will first have to amend the Constitution and By-laws of the Federation, specially to read: "That no National, International, Local or Federal Labor Union chartered by or affiliated with the American Federation of Labor shall fail to accept members because of race or color." Next, in order, to use the present laws of the Federation to achieve the same end; namely to prevent color discrimination—the Convention of the Federation must more than "threaten" the autonomy or self gov- TOO SHARP FOR N. O. PAWN BROKER New Orleans, La., July 10th.—Century-old in the lexicon of the underworld, the "switching goods" game has been worked with effect on a trusting clerk in the pawn-broking establishment of "Uncle Jake" Dilberger, 234 South Rampart street, according to the police. John Robertson, who gave his address as 1080 Tricou street, flashily dressed, late Saturday walked into the shop and requested Edward Wiltz, a clerk, to show him some diamond rings. The clerk obligingly brought out a stock of sparklers and the negro finally settled upon a ring priced $200. He paid $10 as deposit, and was to pay weekly installments for the balance, the ring to remain in the shop until paid for. As the clerk turned his back to get a contract form, police allege that Robertson switched rings, leaving behind an exact duplicate of the sparkler he originally selected, but of white saphire composition. Early Monday police went to the Tricou street address and found that no such colored man lived there. FIND BUBONIC PLAGUE PORT ARTHUR, TEXAS, July 7. A colored man said to have been employed recently on Galveston wharves died Tuesday of disease determined by the city health officers today as bubonic plague. The Chicago Whip ning powers of the sub-ordinate unions like the Railway Clerks and other Negro barring railway unions. The Federation must do more than modify its action by "requesting" or "recommending" these union to wipe out the color clause. IN ORDER TO WIPE OUT THE COLOR LINE IN REALITY BY POWER OF THE LAWS OF THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR AS NOW WRITTEN THE MONTREAL CONVENTION COULD HAVE USED THE AUTHORITY GRANTED THE CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR AS COUCHED IN ARTICLE IX SEC. 12 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR. Article IX, Sec. 12 reads as follows: The Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor shall only have the power to revoke the charter of an affiliated national or international Union when the revocation has been ordered by a two thirds majority of a regular convention of the American Federation of Labor by a roll call vote. INSTEAD OF THE REGULAR AND LEGALLY AUTHORIZED CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR "ORDERING" THE COLOR LINE WIPED OUT BY THE POWER GRANTED IT IN ARTICLE IX SECTION 12. IT IS ON RECORD AS HAVING "REQUESTED" OR "RECOMMENDED" THE REMOVAL OF THE VICIOUS LINE FROM THE BY Laws OF SUBORDINATE AFFILIATED UNIONS. The fact does not necessarily follow the recommendation since in ruth similar recommendations have been made twice before in the last (Continued on page 6.) Trenton, N. J., July 12. — Special to the WHIP. — Samuel Gordon, who was messenger for the Supreme Court during President Lincoln's time and frequently shaved him, died today at his age of 75 years. He often accompanied Lincoln on his trips and was with him when he delivered the famous address at Gettysburg. For the past 47 years he has been messenger for the Governors of New Jersey in which city is his home. Mr. Samuel W. Gordon is a familiar figure and known to persons who frequent state buildings. Always a hearty welcome and cheerful smile greeted every one. He was familiar with all the events of note that have concerned the state for the past half century and was often consulted on subjects in dispute as his words have always proven authoritative. NEW ORLEANS BOYS RECEIVE MEDALS Two races united in paying tribute to courage, heroism and unselfish service to humanity Sunday at 4 p.m., when Adam J. and George Neo Pons, two white men, were presented with gold medals and $300 each by the negroes of New Orleans for rescuing nine negro sailors from drowning in a severe storm on Lake Pontchartrain March 4. The ceremony of presenting the medals took place at Grace Methodist Episcopal church. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JULY 17th, 1920 LYNCH WRONG MAN IN CHURCH YARD Durham, N. C., July 13—Ed. Roach a young Negro was taken from the Carlson County Jail at Roxbury early this morning by a mob of more than 200 masked men and was lynched in front of a colored Church three miles north of the town in less than one hour after he had been arrested on a charge of supposed criminal attack on a white woman. Sheriff Surrenders Prisoner. The mob went about its undertaking in a well organized manner. Sheriff Thompson who reached the jail soon after the mob had gathered pleaded with the men to let the law take its course.' The leader of the mob who is a business man of Roxbury ordered the sheriff to leave the scene which he quickly did, after no attempt to protect the prisoner. Men Mask to Conceal Their Identity. At midnight the mob formed and called for volunteers throughout the white section and by morning some 200 had formed consisting of young and old men, women and children, who surged to the jail, and asked the sheriff for key to the prison and were readily given it by the sheriff.

PICKPOCKETS CAUGHT Mobile, Ala., July 13. — Evidence was given in recorder's court yesterday that Walter Brown and Willie Garner, colored, charged with grand larceny were caught in the act of picking pockets at the L. & N. Station. Each was held to the next grand jury under $1,500 bond. A number of employes of the L. & N. passenger station testified in the case after capturing the men whom they said were caught in the act. Daniel Smith, a mail wagon driver, identified Brown positively as the man who stole a purse from him containing $15.50. Dan Thomas, an expressman, pointed Garner out as the man who robbed him of $25.00 Employes of the station testified that one of the men rushed crowds at the negro depot gate while the other went through pockets. Brown admitted in court he had served a term in the state penitentiary for snatching a woman's purse at the depot at Montgomery. FEAR FOR SAFETY OF INGENDIARY SUSPECT Butler, Ga., July 13.—Sam Fagin, colored, who is said by officers to have confessed to carrying oil to the new Grand Theater, destroyed by fire Saturday night, was taken to Columbus tonight, to avert possible race trouble. The man was arrested at Reynolds Wed., by the state fire marshal and was taken to Macon for safe-keeping. He was returned here today for preliminary trial, but fear of trouble caused a postponement of the case. Other arrests are expected. The theater had been in operation only three days. In his confession according to the officers, Fagin siad he was employed to carry oil to the new theater at 11:30 o'clock Saturday night. He carried out instructions and went home. An earlier fire broke out, he said, and he returned to the scene. OLDEST NEGRO INDIAN 123 YEARS OLD "Cherokee Bill," an Indian-negro, who is reputed worth $80,000 and has been twice listed in the census as the oldest man in America, has just celebrated his 123d birthday on his farm in Grand Junction, Colo., according to telegraphic reports. He served in the war of 1812 and later settiled down in Colorado where he had a claim. In 1911 at the age of 114, "Bill" announced to the world that he was retiring. It was rumored at the time that the e was $75,000 and $80,000, secreted about the shack which he calls is home. He was born in 1797 and walks wit the aid of a cane he has owned since the civil war. The only name by which he has ever been known in Grand Junction is "Cherokee Bill." TO WAGE FIGHT ON SCAB BARBERS The Journeymen Barbers Union has decided through its president and members to wage a stiff fight against seab Barbers and out-law Boss Barbers who persist in keeping their shops open on Sundays. This union is one of the strongest race organizations in the city its members are the best men of the craft from an artistic as well as moral point of view. The two chief offenders of the Sunday Closing law are a shop at 36th and State and a shaving den at 3436 State Street. It is said that both of these places were represented at the meeting of the Union when it was first organized. They both agreed to abide by the decision of the majority, which went on record unanimously in favor of Sunday closing. One of the first to interest himself in the idea of unionism said in an interview to the "Whip" reporter that "the men who belong to this union are men of character and who appreciate the sanctity of the home. They like to go to church and lectures on Sunday. Any man who violates this principal is an enemy to society and good government and the general public should repudiate him. — W. L. Reed. WRECKED CAR EXPOSES Chattanooga, July 11th. — Frank Diffay, colored, took a fancy to a Buick 6, auto on Broad street yesterday morning, and taking possession of it, started off in a northerly direction. On N. Market street in No. Chattanooga he came to grief with the automobile, which landed in a ditch. The action of the man aroused the suspicion of a man, who turned him over to Motorcycle Officer Orrell, of the sheriff's force. Orrell allowed Diffay to wait in the room in the rear of the jail office while he went to North Chattanooga to verify the faets of the case, as they had been told him. The colored man apparently failed to appreciate the courtesy of the officer, and, during the absence, rushed through the jail office and dashed out the window onto Walnut street. He was soon overtaken by employees of the jail and placed behind the bars, where he awaits a Samaritan with $2,500 to release him on bond. It is thought the automobile which is badly damaged, belongs to Fred Little. "Crucify Him!"

THE YOUTH N. A. A. C. P. DEMANDS INVESTIGATION OF CLERK'S LYNCHING The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today wired Postmaster General A. S. Burleson requesting that he order an investigation into the facts of the lynching of James Spencer, a Negro postal clerk, at Enterprise, Miss., on July 5, reminding him of the fact that the federal government has the power of police protection over those in its service. At the same time the Association wired Governor W. P. Hobby of Texas asking that he bring to justice the members of the mob which on July 6, at Paris, Texas, took from the county jail Irving and Herman Arthur who were being held on a charge of having killed their landlord and his son, and burned them at the stake. The barbarity of this latter lynching is magnified by dispatches in which the sheriff at Paris, Texas, is quoted as declaring that one of the two Negroes burned was not the right one and that he doubted whether the other was the right party, and in which he is reported to have gone into Arkansas on the trail of the men believed to have killed the farmer and his son.

Canefax, a colored convict from Jackson County is being sought by armed posse throughout Southeast Mo., and a lynching has been planned if he is caught. He escaped from Prison Tuesday and it is reported that many prisoners of late have made their escape from the prisons and the laxity of guards or inefficiency has not been able to return any of the prisoners and much has been said concerning the matter. It was given out that the escaped convict made an attack on a white woman and soon a posse had formed and threats of lynching were made. report was made in order that the report was made in order hat the people would be forced to demand better protection of the prisons. There is however, no doubt but that there will be another lynching staged whether the statement is true or false if Canefax is caught. The threats have been reported to acting Governor Crossley. He has taken no action on the matter so far as is known to date. NEGRO BLIND INSTITUTE. Baton Rouge, La., July 5.—Another administration measure passed by the Senate Monday was H.

M., Tuesday morning. Sternberg's is in the heart of the busiest street of the "black belt" and hundreds of passersby were on the streets and in nearby stores at the time of the raid. There were no customers in the store at the time. Marcus Sternberg, proprietor of the store told the police that at about 9:30 A. M., a black automobile bearing two occupants drew up in front of his store. One of them, a young white man, well dressed, walked into the store and asked to see some working shoes. When Sternberg turned to get the shoes, the other occupant of the car, a young white man, entered the door and stationed himself there. Sternberg says that when he turned to say his name, the customer", he found himself looking into a gun held by the first of the two, and found himself covered by the second bandit in the door. Sternberg was preparing to make his daily deposit at the bank and the bandits must have known of his custom. After securing the merchant's roll, the holdups fled west on 31st St., and north on Indiana Ave. No shots were fired. WOMAN WEIGHING 500 POUNDS IS DEAD Richmond, Va., July 13. — Weighing over 500 pounds, Roberta Lester, colored, wife of Joseph Lester (well-known locally, who died yesterday, is said to be the fattest woman in the State by her friends. Her obesity did not interfere with her working ability, and it is said that for her large proportions, she was remarkably active and energetic. Her funeral will take place from Riview Baptist church, of which she was a member, tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, with Rev. Edward Lewis, officiating. TEXANS ALLOW SHERIFF TO HANG PRISONER Dallas, Tex., July 14. — Green Hunter, alias James Brown, colored, was hanged here today for criminally attacking a white woman at Hale Station, Friday, May 28. He confessed and yesterday admitted that he was guilty of another attack on a young white girl for which Ben Perry, colored, is serving the eight year of a life imprisonment sentence. Hunter was captured by a posse a few hours after the attack and turned over to Dallas County authorities with a demand for quick justice. One week later — Friday, June 4—he was placed on trial, confessed and sentenced to die July 9th. As he entered the death cell on June 4, Hunter remarked that "Friday has always been my hoodoo."

THE Famous LaFayette Players ably played "A pair of Sixes" last week. The piece was full of thrills and humor especially, th epaper game challenge played between two partners in business, who were continually having disagreements and eruptions in their business affairs. Both being dissatisfied they called in their lawyers and finally decided, that in order to dissolve the business and each feel satisfied that one buy the other out. This did not please either, so the paper game was suggested and agreed to. The loser was to be the butler in the winners household and the game was played, lost, and the loser taken the job, and it was during this period that much laughter was invoked. A very good show.

In the practical application of scientific principles as embodied in useful inventions, the Negro has long held an important place. The publications of Henry E. Baker of the United State Patent Office set forth a record altogether and comparably favorable. These inventions run the whole gamut, from Banneker's clock in 1754 to Forten's invention of apparatus inmanaging sails, including Lewis's invention of a machine for picking oakum; Hnery Blairs patents on a corn harvester; William B. Puris's patents on electric railways, a fountain pen, magnetic car-balancing device, etc.; Dickinsons patents for playing the piano; Ferrell's patents for the improvement in valves for steam engines; Benjamin F. Jackson's inventions of different improvements in heating and lighting devices, and a controller for a trolley wheel; Charles V. Richey's inventions, including a device for registering the calls on a telephone and detecting the unauthorized use of that instrument; Granville Wood's inventions; the Elijah McCoy inventions; an the inventions of John Ernest Matzeliger, including the first machine that performed automatically the operations involved in attaching soles to shoes. Then there are the latter-day and war-time inventions, including the war-bombs, machine, and air-craft guns, explosive bullets, submarines, and diving suits. The Negro And His Music. Before a great throng of music lovers gathered at Institutional A. M. E. Church, 38th and Dearborn Sts., last Sunday night, Prof. Willis N. Huggins, Editor of the Up-Reach Magazine and teacher in the Chicago Public Schools, portrayed the rise and development of Negro music from the primitive tribal songs of the native African to the prestige which our music has gained as the only distinctive gift of America to the musical world. Prof. Huggins vehemently scored those who sneer at the old time melodies and pictured our forbears, who sang "The Sorrow Songs" as the "uncrowned kings and queens whose labors, behind the plow and the wash-tub and whose sacrifices in many ways, have been and still remain the main support and elevation of those, who scoff a the soul-stuff of their sufferings." He paid a glowing tribute to our artists who have won renown in the field of music and reviewed all the major works written on the subject. The present study of native music in Africa by Roland Hayes, the work of Pace and Handy, Burleigh, Dett, the Johnsons, Miss Hagan Maude Cuney Hare, were minutely depicted. He especially urged the recognition of the compositions of Pace and Handy as deserving of a place on musical programs and also as a distinct contribution to American folk-music. The occasion of the meeting was the second annual musicale of the Young People's Society of the church under the direction of Mr. Alpine and Miss Magnolia N. Lewis. The Harlem Colored Y. M. C. A.

THE CHICAGO WHIP AG PUBLIC MORAL AND PUBLIC STAGE Colored Club Shows New Orleans The Most Beautiful Parade In History. The "4th" of July Celebration in New Orelans was started by a spectacular Parade at Dawn by the "Bull's Aid and Pleasure Club," a colored organization of much prominence in that city. Hundreds of friends and admirers followed the parade which started at mid-night and paraded all the streets until dawn the morning of the 4th. It is reported that Solomon in all his glory had nothing in pomp and splendor on the costumes of the Bulls and their glorious equipages. Automobiles, shaded with wonderously wrought canopies, glittering with swarms of electric lights, like fire flies caught by tangled maze of rainbows passed in slow review. A number of bands were distributed through the parade and charmed with their magic music. All the floats were gorgeous, unique and beautiful and especially so was the one on which rode the king and queen of the order whose robes were of glittering splendor. The entire parade was more elaborate and dazzling than that of the Mardi Gras which is supposed to be the most beautiful thing of its kind. A. M. E. Zion Church Holds Annual State Conference.

Sylvester Russell, so-called newspaper man has fallen to his lowest ebb and is trying to make the public listen to his foolish, senseless, tommyrot. He has failed with every newspaper in the country, and from his writings I don't think this dirty, one-sheet newspaper will last long. I advise the business men to give Russell an advertising appropriation if they don't wish to see his unpleasant criticisms. Most colored newspapers write concerning conditions according to the price they have been paid and not as things really exist. Too bad our leaders hate to see some of their race earn an honest living. The Chicago Defender would do well to furnish rules and regulations to all of the business people, Hyde Park, and others upon whom they have been strangely and cowardly silent. Six months ago the Dreamland Cafe was doing a failing business averaging a loss of $350 to $500 a week. I didn't complain, but went farther in the hole and re modeled my establishment with the aid of my many friends. At that time no one knocked the Dreamland. However as soon as the Dreamland became the most popular palce on the South Side and was the center for high class, legitimate entertainment, knocks came in by the carloads. The feeling of resentment was so bitter against my success that even some of my closest friends became back-bitters. I have never knocked anyone to gain success, but have struggled on my merit and by hard work have proved my ability to compete successfully in the business world. It has been clearly demonstrated that a man with a legitimate business should be allowed to operate his business on sheer ability free from political pull or favors. The "black belt" is freer from vice than many other sections in the city. There are other conditions that affect the people vitally, however, about which nothing has been said. The people of the South Side are in need of wholesome amusement, and I have tried at all time to cater to their needs adn desires. I can say that I have conducted my place with the utmost decency, and no one can nrightfully say that the Dreamland Cafe is a den of vice, on the other hand, any man can feel that he can bring his sister or wife to the Dreamland and not stand in danger of ahving her insulted. I wish to thank my many friends and patrons who have helped me make the Dreamland Cafe an establishment of refined amusement and assure them that my success has been due to their support.

Col. Roscoe Simmons Undergoes Operations. "Here I am in the well a hundred feet", said Col. Rosece Simmons to a reporter last Sunday. The famous leader had just come out from under an operation performed by Dr. Reginald Smith. "Nothing but my nose", he said, "and I am used to holding that now since all the big political parties seem to be in a state of decay." Col. Simmons was asked what was the significance of his "in the well a hundred feet." "I mean", he said, "that I would be deeper than if the well aws deeper." "Here I am an ancient Republican, and the Republican party", he said, "does n't seem to care whether I and those with me are either Republicans or ancient; that is, the recent convention didn't. And the dear old wicked Democrats got to fighting over precious liquor at Frisco and forgot even to insert in the platform Jefferson's benediction, "equal rights to all, special privileges to none." And now the Lords Day is almost passed, and the new party forming in the loop hasn't yet even called the name of this people. In the well? Why, merely dear, w care heels over head in all the wells." Col. Simmons said that Harding and Coolidge were good men, but the Republican party was not in need of good men, heving a healthy crop of such, but was in need of sound principles, such as it was born upon, and courageous action, such as once marked the party, back when it was a party of human rights. He said that the election of Henry Lincoln Johnson, secretary of the Lincoln League of which Col. Simmons is president, to the Republican National Committee from Georgia is the one thing that saved colored Republicans from utter annihilation in party affairs. "Link" Johnson and Col. Simmons are old friend and comrades. "This year of our Lord will be one long to be remembered by historians who will write on the political struggles the Negro," said Col. Simmons. "Our race is support?" the reporter asked. "How do I know who wants the open support of the Negro," replied the Colonel. "And, too," he added, "I am extremely busy among all men and parties supporting the contention of the Negro that he has a 'right to the tree of life.'" Y. M. C. A. NEWS A great meeting was held in the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium Sunday, July 11, at 4 o'clock. There were some who saw an opportunity to bring together numerous students of the various Universities and a motion toward that end was set in motion. Those who planned the project were confident that such a meeting was needed and that they would be rewarded with reasonable success which would help to lay the foundation for large gatherings, but response was beyond expectation. The talks were interesting, opportunities for entering discussion were eagerly grasped and a spirit of satisfaction overshadowed the assembly. Among the visitors who spoke were Henry Lincoln Johnson, and Colonel Otis F. Duncan. One hundred and twenty-two persons were present. On Wednesday night, July 7th, the Jenkins Orphanage Band of Charleston, S. C., rendered a concert in the Auditorium. Many who had heard those boys play on the street were astounded when they heard them render Religious and Classical music with the air and precision of some of America's famous bands.

While out driving on Monday, July 5, around Hammond, Ind. a Whip reporter chanced to see a large number of men, women and children around a beautiful cottage. Curious for the hopes of bringing back some unexpected news to Chicago, he left his machine to investigate. Upon nearing cottage, he was apporached by Miss Helen Perry, one of our young Chicago school teachers, who informed him that it was no other beautiful place he had discovered that a summer camp for our colored girls. Monday was the formal opening for this wonderful camp which is under the auspices of the Indiana Avenue Branch of the Y. W. C. A. This is just the place for parents to send their daughters who have toiled thru ten months of High School studies. Let them receive fun, rest and health during these two months of vacation, then there is surely no working young woman in the community who will not take advantage of such an opportunity for a vacation for wo weeks at he small expense of $6.75 per week, which includes access to the beautiful summer cottage, board, use of boats and all the privileges of the camp. The camp accommodates 80 girls in its dormitories and is situated between Lake Wolf and Lake George, which offers beautiful scenery. Special week end rates are being given for $1.50. This includes entertainment Saturday evening and Sunday. This proves that there has really been found a way to cut the H. C. of L. out of your vacation. Without a doubt this furnishes every heart's desire for a restful and most enjoyable vacation. Young women in charge of the camp are Miss Estelle Webster, Director, Miss Helen Perry, Recreational worker and six counsellors composed of Chicago's most prominent young women. No Y. W. C. A. affiliations are necessary and applications will be considered from any school girl over 12 years of age or young woman, in any branch of Industry.

New York, July 9th.—It will be sad news to the many friends of Lewis Kid Cole to learn of his having been drowned last Saturday at Lake George, N. Y. The deceased had gone in bathing shortly after having eaten a hearty meal, joining with others in the bathing pastime. And it appears that with a weak heart and the attendant dangers that accrue from bathing under such conditions is the cause. He came to the surface two or three times, but those of his friends near by assumed that he was as usual in his playful mood; when they finally became aware that he was missing, consternation prevailed, and immediate efforts were made to rescue him, but it took the courage of Walter Taylor who dived three times, before he was able to bring the body to the surface, and every means for his revival was resorted to. The deceased was born in New York City about 39 years ago, and was widely known among his many friends for his industry and various activities in public affairs. He was married to Miss Hazel Cree about five years ago. He was a member of Celestial Lodge, No. 3, F. and A. M., Monarch Lodge of Elks No. 45, Clubman's Beneficial Association.

Although the Hindus of Ancient days believed in superstitions methods of warding off diseases as much so or more than any other set of people, they have much accredited to them in scientific medicine. As the Hebrews excelled all the ancients in hygiene and public health, so ancient Hindus surpassed all their contemporaries in operative surgery. Spells and incantations against the demons of disease and their human agents, the witches and wizards, prevailed in Big Veda and Atharva Veda in or about the year 1500 B. C. In the Brahminical period (800 B. C.—1000 A. D.) medicine was entirely in the hands of Brahmin priests and scholars, and the center of the medical education was at Benares. The three principal names in Brahminical medicine were Charaka, Susruta and Vaghbata. Diseases, at that time, were divided into natural and supernatural, Susrura named as many as 1,120 different maladies, Susrura described malarial fever, which he attributed to mosquito. In Bhagatav Purana there is a passage, which warns people to desert their houses when rats fall from the roof above, jump about and die. "It is reasonable to presume that this caused by infection with the virus of the Bubonic Plague." Baths, enematia, emetics, inhalations, gargles, flood-letting were employed in those days as treatments for various diseases and disorders—al of these we use at this time. Ancient Indian Surgery reach, as I have said before, the highest point of all ancient surgery. There were about, or more than 121 different surgical instruments known and used in those days of Indian Surgery. Many of the same instruments now used were also used by teh Hindus as scalpels, lancets, saws, forceps, needles, probes, etc. Many operative methods were handed down to us by the Hindus—operation for cataract, one of the most delicate of operations; Cecarean section, another very fine operation, plastic surgery and skin-grafting were all handed down to us by the Indians. Whether the Hindus set the pace offri the pioneers of Greek medicine or were influenced by the pre-hippocratic practitioners of Greece, cannot be determined from our present knowledge. It is however certain that at the dae of. Alexander the Great's expedition into India (322 B. C.) their physicians enjoyed a well deserved reputation for medical knowledge of a high order. Some claim that the great hippocrates really got his medical knowledge from Susruta, the greatest of Indian physicians. Aristotle is also thought to have derived his medical education from the Hindus. After the oMhammedan conquest, Indian medicine passed under the sway of the Arabs and lost its individuality and its separate existence. HAZELWOOD WHITEWASHING COMPANY INCORPORATES.

WICKWARE walked the first m But the runner was thrown this Wickware settled down "show me" state at his mercy. They all looked like a bunch last half of the ninth, When two hits, a walk De Moss It was the worst played game o Chicagoans Win from St. Louis. Wickware and Drake stage fierce go with honors resting with the veteran heaver. Chicago, Ill.—Drake, the young pitching star of the St. Louis Giants found himself up against an awful breeze last Sunday, when he essayed to do things to the Wickier crowd, with Wickware, the hero of many a tough struggle opposed to him on the slab. The Windy City folks jumped right up in the first stanza and proceeded to put the game on ice, egged on, of course by the rugged support that the receiving end of the Mound City battery dished out to his mate. The visiting infield were thrown off their stride as a result of the catchers defection, and displayed streaks of both good and bad, mostly the latter. Drake, pitched a good game and was entitled to a better deal than he received; finding his support all to the fag, the pitcher went to it with renewed energy in each frame and succeeded in handling five difficult changes, all but three of the total assists of the whole team. Wickware was master of the situation at all stages and convinced the tenthousand fans who watched his effort that he is but a whit below the form that made him the talk of the baseball world some seasons ago. The St. Louisians staged a batting rally in the ninth furnishing a welcome thrill, but the flash was squeeled, the game ending 5—2, with the Windy City gang the winner.

The St. Louis Giants went down to defeat in the second game of the series here, when Tom WilliamsJet them down with a sprinkling of hits scattered so wide apart that the Missouri crowd were mighty lucky to get two runs across the platter. A base on balls in the second inning to MeAdoo, a steal and a hit to center via short, off the bat of the veteran Wallace, netted the visitors their first run, after two hands were down. In the sixth, a hit to right field on which the batter should have been retired on Brown's great throw to short stop Williams to head off the runner advancing an extra base, would not have netted a score had Williams handled the throw in faultless style. The home sound fattened their batting aver- ROYAL GARDENS AN IDEAL A Recently there has been a wholes South Side.

PETER H. age at the expense of pitcher, Finner, Torretti, grabbing a single, double, and a triple, while Dixon annexed the same batting glory as "Torry". Dick Wallace, formerly one of the greatest infielders who ever performed, sparkled as of yore, accepting nine chances and being the only batsman able to secure more than one hit off Williams's delivery. The Dayton Marcos will show here next, starting Sunday, and the fans are in for a real baseball show. George Britt, perhaps, the greatest around player in the game wil try to beat the Giants, while Lane, Alexander, Jim Taylor, big Hooker and the giants Wingfield will wield the bat in a manner that is bound to make the fans forget the K.

Jack Johnson Offers to Give Self to Law Los Angeles, July 12th — Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion pugilist, now a fugitive from American justice, in a long distance telephone call today from Tin Jamaa, Lower California, offered to surrender himself to federal authorities if accorded certain privileges. W. P. Hall, special agent of the department of justice, who told Johnson's offer, said he refused to make any bargain with Johnson. Hall said Johnson offered to cross the international line and surrender to United States officers if he were assured he would be taken immediately to Chicago, where he was indicted on a charge of violation of the Mann act. He further demanded, Hall said, that he was at no time to be hindered or treated as a prisoner. Hall stated he told Johnson he could please himself about crossing the line, but that if he did so he would be treated exactly the same as any other person for whom the American government had a warrant. Later after conferring with J. Robert O'Connor, United States district attorney, Hall said the department of justice was not concerned with Johnson and that his arrest was a matter for the United States marshal. A copy of the indictment against Johnson and a warrant for his arrest are in the hands of C. T. Walton, United States marshal here. Marshal Walton said Johnson, if arrested, would be treated "just like any other prisoner." A Fred Fulton to Fight Harry Wills. Meet in First Big Bout Under Walker Law in New York. The first bout of importance in New York under the Walker boxing law, which was recently signed by Governor Smith, will be that between Fred Fulton, the Minnesota philaterer, and Harry Wills, recognized as the best colored heavyweight in the country. The match is to be for fifteen rounds and for a pause of $35,000, of which amount Fulton is to receive $25,000 and Wills $10,000. No date for the mill has been set by the international Sporting Club, under the auspices of which the match will be staged, but it is understood that it will take place the latter part of July. Both Fulton and Wills have begun training and boxing fans are looking forward to one of the best matches of the year. American Giants Display Class Down the Morris, K. C. Monarchs and St. Louis Giants with a minimum of fort. The A. B. C.'s are three games behind on the seasons series and the Detroit Stars remain the lone team to stop the Chi crew in their mad rush to wards the pennant. When the American Giants took the St. Louis Giants into camp last Sunday, they established a clear title to the honor of supremacy over all clubs that have shown here this season, and that goes for all clubs in the circuit, with the possible exception of the Detroit Stars; the two teams have not met as get this season, but when they do, just lay your last Lonnie, there is going to be some real base ball glove spilled. The Stars have a team that has been going up against the most stubborn opposition that could be found in the country, and they have got away to the good with more than fifty percent of their games; besides the tough foe upon the outside of the circuit, all the husky brothers in the new chain of teams, have hit Detroitward and if reports steers us right, the Stars have not been found wanting. One Hundred Thousand devotees of baseball have watched the efforts of the American Giants this season, they have witnessed the upset of opponent after opponent, and with much appearance effort; is pretty safe reasoning when we say that the greater portion of this army of ans are tiring of this consecutive winning game that the Windy City crew are staging. What team will the first to display an equivalent of baseball efficiency against the home team No doubt that thought has occurred to many. When the K. C. Mona reacts with the great Rogan on the slab, and one of the best clotting teams in the country behind him downed the Giants, many began to rejoice over the supposed fact that the Rubenites had at last met their Waterloo; but the showing of the far west crowd proved only a flash in the pan; they not only lost the remaining games, but the great Rogan as knocked from one end of the lot to the other. A. B. C.'s displayed streaks of a return to the class of former years, and with Charleston, Ben Taylor, Shively and others bearing much prestige, at the zenith of their physical and mechanical attainment, they may, are the season advances, crop up to knock the Windy City crew off to the high roundsof the ladder upon which they are now perched. The Cubans are coming strong again, but the Chicago Giants and St. Louis Giants apparently are out of the season, for the present at least. The Dayton Marcos, the team that will play here next, perhaps, have more to recommend it as a worthy adversary of the local champs then any team that has appeared here this season; besides having a heavy, hitting team, efficient pitching, experience and stamina, they have a worth of youth, speed, and that fighting spirit that is always liable to turn the tide of the battle to wards a triumph for the under-dog. If the Marcos fail and then Men's Clothing, Furnishings, Hats, Ladies' Cloaks, Suits, Dresses, etc. SACRIFICED AT Ben. Stillerman, 3544 S. State St. THE CHICAGO WHIP ORTS B D BLOUNT'S DETROIT STA TED BLOUNT'S DETROIT STARS the locals get the better of their opponents on the Western trip, starting on the twenty-sixth at St. Louis, and extending to Kansas City, then the Detroit Stars are the only hope of those whom it would please to see the home guards taken down a peg or two. Footpad Attacks and Robs. New Orleans, La., July 13. - While walking down Dryades street between Julia and Gird street, Friday morning at 10 o'clock, Miss Hannah G. Fisher, 21 years old, of 1330 Camp street, was attacked and robbed of her mesh bag containing $105.25 by a footpaid. He handled the young woman roughly and after taking the money ran to a rooming house in Howard street. The screams of Miss Fisher attracted hundreds of persons and Patrolmen Jacobs and Spencer chased the fugitive to 538 Howard street, where he was found under a bed in a colored tenement house. He gave his name as George Daben, and at first denied having robbed the woman Patrolman Jacobs said he recoverd Miss Fisher's money wrapped up in a handkerchiefs and tied to a belt around Daben's waist. The prisoner was charged with highway robbery. SPOKEN IN JEST She was weeping bitter tears into her afternoon tea. "Oh, my dear!" she said to her only friend. "I don't know what I shall do. Ted and I have only been married six months, yet he spends every evening at his club!" "Well, don't worry, darling," said the other. "Perey's just the same. But I shall never so much time at his club." "Why not?" "Well, last night, a burglar got into the house, and my husband knocked him senseless with a pocker. I've heard several men speak of him as a poker expert. He has evidently been practicing at the club just such an emergency."

As an officer of 1 organization of Race laborers which was secking some way effect- ively to prevent, and combat the an- tagonism of the organized white laborers and to prevent the use of Race men as tools by the employers, thereby arounsing racial antagonism, 1 along with Dr. Bousfield, our Sec- vetary, sought information from all authoritative sources chiefly among which was. the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People thru. its secretary, Mr, John Shillady, white, and himself a former ‘Trade Umonist, ‘this vesearch work extends from the Pacific Coast back to New York, Mr. Sihllady after giv- ing us the advantage of all his per tonal knowledge and experience with the trade union movement and of the “autonomous” and “Jurisdictional” tingles governing the operation of the constituted machinery of the A.

Grant will be host. International Brotherhood Mass Meeting. There were oftly or fifty colored workers present, besides the organizers and quite a few moulders who came out o help encourage the movement. Among that number was one Dr. Joshua A. Brockett, representing the James A. Brady Foundry Company. One gentleman, a cupola tender, aftertet being called on to make a few remarks, insisted that if the moulders did not stick with the laborers, there would be no use in trying to organize. He then requested that Dr. Brockett be given a chance to make a few remarks. His remarks in part were to the effect that he was on the speakers list at the first Labor Day Celebration held in the city of Boston held under the auspices of the old Knights of Labor, or which Terrance Towderly was then Master Workmen. At that time, he states that, he insisted on Mr. Towderly guaranteeing the protection of the Negro under the banner of his organization. This he claimed, Mr. Towderly could not do. After commending on Mr. Towderly's ability as an orator, he asked how many present were born in Illinois, and how many were born in the South land; also those who were born in Virginia, and indeed that he had been instrumental in securing an increase in wages of from five to seven cents per hour for the common laborers around the foundries without ever their knowledge of his doing so. He then attempted to make it plain that it was not best for the colored worker to organize and affiliate with the American Federation of Labor. He mentioned in a general way, as most all men of his type do, something that happened to teh members of an organization of waiters in Chicago in 1903, but he did not know exatly what it was. He mentioned the fact that his daughter was a member of an organization of waiters, and insisted that she had a grievance that had not bee handled by the officials of the organization. On being questioned regarding what local union she was a member of, he did not know. In rebuttal to Dr. Brockett's remarks by several trade unionists present, it was made plain that his interest was not centered in them, and that if they expected to ever get what they are entitled to, they would have to make the effort themselves, by organizing, and not depend on some agent of the foundry interests to get something for them. Miami Admits That It Is Unfair to Negroes Miami Admits That It Is Unfair to Negroes Miami, Fla., July 9th.—The Colored Board of Trade of Miami, Fla., prepared a brief and presented it to the city officials and the white newspapers and outlined their grievances after the near riot which almost occurred a few days ago when a bomb exploded in front of a colored man's home. The colored men did not use very bitter or very direct language but the white people remembered that the colored people had gathered quickly and were armed when the bomb went off and were ready to effect reprisals and have given this brief of the colored Board of Trade due consideration. The Miami Herald editorializes as follows: A TRUE BILL In an open letter to the mayor and citizens of Miami, issued by the colored Board of Trade, printed elsewhere in these columns, there occurs this very pregnant passage: The rough element among us is very impatient. And we confess to you, friends, that we are losing our grasp on the rowdy element of colored town. They have listened to us on numerous occasions and the results have not come. They are possessed with the idea that a better way is theirs and seem anxious to pursue it. We have been answered with such remarks as this: "They sent us three thousand miles away from home to make the world safe for democracy and it's up to us, now, to make Miami safe for our families". Unless the officers of the law will convince these men that they are as dutiful in running down and bringing to justice all white criminals the same as colored criminals, the beamching of the good name and record of Miami is inevitable. And, as is always the case, the innocent suffer losses while the guilty parties escape. If the authorities will cultivate a sense of justice that knows no discrimination when the law is broken and vigorously prosecute the guilty parties, such depredations as have recently occurred will never be experienced. This is an indictment of the attitude of the white people and white officials toward the enforcement of law where colored people are concerned, that is too close to the truth to be at all palatable to the thinking white man. Say what we will, the white people of this city have never discharged their full duty toward the colored section of the city. It is a matter of plain observation that while very many colored people are tax-payers and entitled to a due proportion of the city's improvements, they have not received them, by any means. Many of the improvements made for the exclusive use of the white people of the city, have been partly paid for by money collected from the negro part of the population. They have been taxed without representation and they have been denied their part of the tax money for public improvements for the part of the city they inhabit. That is an injustice for which the white people should seek a remedy. In the matter of police protection, colored town has been regarded more as a place for police authority than for protection. White officers are sent to enforce the law among colored residents and taxpayers, regardless of their desires on the subject. The result of the practice has been to raise suspicion of all colored people, when as a matter of fact, there are very few law breakers comparatively, among the colored people who live in this city and who are endeavoring to build up their part of the city and are trying as best they can to make the colored race honored for what it has accomplished in Miami. Not so very long ago this city was much interested in sending colored boys to the army camps. Something was done for them and many speech-were made to them promising that their families should be looked after and that on their return they would be honored as the country's defenders. They return to find more or less friction between themselves and their white neighbors, and they discover that their families are not safe from outrages committed against them by some miscreants unknown, who have not been detected or arrested. No wonder that these young men believe that they are being wronged in the general attitude of the white people toward their wrongs and there is no wonder that they are beginning to suspect that the white people are not, after all, the friends they promised to be while the country was it war and needed their services. The Colored Board of Trade, in very temperate language, stated the case exactly when it said that unless the officers of the law could be brought to see that it was as much their duty to seek out and secure the punishment of white offenders against negroes as it is to apprehend negro violators of the law, there is danger that the good name of Miami or peaceableness and quiet and of good feeling between the races will be sadly besmirched. The Herald is of the opinion that there will always be more or less trouble until the colored people are given their full rights as to public improvements, and have ample police protection of their own race and a more generous sense of justice toward them in the white people of Miami.

This isn't "big news," since it happens often. A disagreeable details shows the men "dragged to the fair grounds, where a stake of fuel had been PREPARED." What men do in bestial rage, after the mob spirit has transformed them into a pack of howling wolves, is one thing. What the PREPARE, cold bloodedly, in advance, is another thing and with more meaning. Another feature of the double burning alive is unpleasant, and also not NEWS, because it isn't new.

OF MO- F TIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTIOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UN- STINTEP CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS — OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOUR. NALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. The Ineratitude Of The Masses. Greatness is generally established by the appraisai’and approval of the masses. Sometimes it is incumbent upon the individual, writers, speakers and historians to create the pep- ular acceptance of greatness. Historians and critics have per- petuated the deeds of men, have written the!r names in blood, have carved their ideals into humanity’s heart and have per- claimed them great—great either in achievement, spirit, abil- ity or endeavor. In almost all cases the masses have ignored the men of genius, the martyrs and the saints and as a rule the “cup of Hemlock” has been their reward from the masses. The noble deeds of mankind have been forced upon the masses and flaunted above their peering faces by some thinker until the tragic silence has been broken by the sudden deafen- ing, thundring voice of the masses proclaiming someone great! marvellous! wonderful! The masses are ungrateful. Milton in his Paradise Lost speaks of man’s ingratitude as being the greatest of human failings. Longfellow states that “keener than a serpent’s tooth is man’s ingratitude”. Another writer states that “man’s in- humanity to man makes countless thousands mourn”. The his- tory of the ingratitude of the masses would be the most volum- inous work of modern times. In the scale of ingratitude none is more disgusting than the ingratitude of the American Ne- groc._ The Negrées have repudiated, scaffed and scorned their most brilliant men their most fie lcsl_dethors, their most analytical thinkers and have stamped a few simpletons of mediocre ability, non-essential! ideas and small courage as great and have set them or allowed them to set themselves up as the leaders of the race. The ignorance of the Negro masses is not to be used as an excuse or justification. Ignorance is not the absolute cause of te Negro’s mgratitude to his REAL MEN. Almost every cne in the A. M. E. Church knows that Rev. R. D. Ransom is one of the Church’s most profound thinkers and most able pulpit orators. Yet, the masses did not reward his efforts or recog- nize his merit by awarding him the sable robe of the bishopric. Almost all of the educators behind Wilberforce University know the contributions that have been made by Dr. W.. S. Scarho- rough, (greatest colored Greek scholar in the world), yet, he was denied the opportunity to continue as Wilberforce’s pres- ident. Almost all of the newspaper masses know that Dr. C. G. Woodson, student, historian and philosopher has not been the rezipient of encouragement or meritorious recognition. The leading educators in the A. M. E. Z. Church recognize the fact that Professor J. E. Kwegger Aggey, member of the Royal Hellenic Society and Fellow at Columbia University is worthy of the Presidency of Livingstone College. The masses have shunted to side tracks the brains of their race and have put two-by-four products in the saddle and limelight. The well-edited papers and magazines of the race mould and rot for readers and the senseless tommyrot of “quill pushers” is held before the eyes of the world. The race must appraise her great men free from the influence of financial or collateral benefit. The race must render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God, the things that are God's. Let us who represent the “spirit of the body” denounce and dethrone men of the Roscoe Simmons and Bishop Parks type and put our trust and confidence in the men who have the brains and the ability to elevate our status and make us truly great. Let us create great men. Let us fling into the outer skirts of gravitation the narrow methods that deny great- ness to worthy men. The One Big Evil. Recently an attack has been made upon the Cabarets, Gambling Houses and Buffet Flats. We hold no brief for these places. We have used our influence to exite and array public sentiment against the operation of the gambling houses and buffet flats and for the regulation of Cabarets. It is uselses, however, to attack these places without first laying a barrage at the feet of the higher ups, who are respon- sible for their birth and protection. It is inconcievable to pre- sume that these places would dare boldly defy the powers that be and operate openly and notoriously. If an investigation is to be made to the elimination of these resorts, and if such investigation is to be effective, it must be- gin further up than the Cabarets, Gambling-houses and buffet flats, as they are only incidents of a déep rooted evil system. There are, however, evils more enormous in size, more vital in consequence than the cabarets, gambling-houses and buffet- flats, in fact they contribute to the growth and longevity of the former. The principal among them is the rent problem. It is the problem of problems. It does not effect any class of the population, but it is a mighty social epidemic that sweeps in- discriminately the economic vitals of all humanity. ‘The rent problem carves its way and consumes the assets of every man, woman and child. .The landlords have taken advantage of the scanty supply of houses and raised rents in some cases as high as 150 per cent. Some of them have been blantant and heartless enough to disposes honest hard workers with families and replace them with prostitutes. It is impossible for 90 per cent of the workers who earn $30 or $40 per week to pay these extortious rents and properly feed their young. It is a well known fact that as long as any people have to live up to all they earn, that it is almost impossible for them to cultivate a taste for high class amusements and lofty pursuits. The high cost of being a negro presents another evil that is more than a problem. The rent hogs take advantage of group psychology and the infamous pervertetd American public sentiment which forces the Negro into segregated areas and extorts in addition to his ordinary big rents an extra color tax, Some of these landlords are the leaders in our local politics. It would be well! cor all of those who are interested in public welfare and general social advacement to begin ot think seri- ously and act intelligently. Every man who comes up for public office should not only pledge himself to increase the earning capacity of the masses but to assist them in saving some of their earnings to educate their young, to get rid of the lodger evil. This cannot be done as long as the rent hog is allowed to operate unmolested. The rent evil as it exists on the South Side today is the one big evil, and the attacks upon it should have the fullest support of all agencies of the press, the pulpit, and the Forum. The Negro And Chicago Past And Present. _§, W. Trice, born in New Provi- dence, Tenn., was educated at Wil- berforce University, Wilberforce, O., ‘his father Milton Trice, was born a slave and emancipated by proclama- tion. Shortly after obtaining hi freedom the Senior Trice went to farming and through close applica- ‘tion to his work he was able to send ‘the children to school, and later to college. Bangs Trice came to Chica- go about ‘and entered the em- ploy of the Pullman Company and remained with them until about 1901 when he entered the service of the Minois Central Railway. When in the service of the Pull- man Company Mr. Trice conceived ‘the idea of entering business and fronted the store located st 2018 State Strect, and put in a stock of Gents Furnishing Goods”, later, ‘owing to a lange inerease of business he reorganized his store and added |a stock of hats, shoes, dry goods, and ladies wear, and utilized. the ‘entire floor space of the store which ran from the street to the alley, or ‘one hundred and twenty five feet in depth and thirty five feet in width. His store was well patronized by both white and colored as he made it a point to carry the best goods obtainable and handle the best haber- ‘dashers wear this side of the “loop” His business grew to such propor- [tions that he resigned his position “with the Hlinois Central and began |to devote all of his time to the store which in 1906 was doing a business ‘of about eighteen thousand dollars |a year. | During the year of 1906 Mr. Trice /was prevailed upon by leading col: ored men of the city to incorporate “his business and the company of S W. Price was organized and incorpo rated under the laws of Ilinois for [fen thousand dollars, later, — the [amount was inerensed to twenty five [thousand and the store removed tc 13249 State Street, Under the man agement of Mr, Trice, the new cor poration made progress and trade was greatly increased, but the cor poration acting against his advice in sisted on moving further south or State Street, which at that time wa: a little out of the way for colorec trade, Mr, Trice insisted that th company do business at the old stan as it was the center of amusemen as well as population.

The com- pany was nates large number OF small stock "s who expected large and quick returns on the small amounts invested. Not receiving re- turns fast enough they began to em- barrass the management.
