At this convention, which was held under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Assn. representatives from all over the world were present. The convention adopted a "Declaration of Independence" which followers of the cult claim ranks in importance with the Magna Charta and the Emancipation Proclamation. This document recites in hold terms the grievances of 400,000,000 black people. Adopt Slogans and Mottoes Many slogans and mottoes were adopted, some of which are as follows: "The Negro Won the War." "United We Stand for Africa's Liberty." "Freedom for All." "The Negro Fought in Europe; He Can Fight in Africa." "Princes Shall Come Out of Egypt." "The Negro Has No Fear." "Down with Lynching." "What Will France Do in Africa?" "What Will England Do in Africa?" "Will They Make the Negro Fight in Africa?" "Africa First, Last and All the Time." "Freedom for All." "A President for Ireland; Why Not One for Africa?" etc. etc. A. B. Create Important Positions Many important positions were created, important among which are the President of the African Republic and an American Leader. The American Leader is to live in a special house in Washington in a building known as the "Black House," in contradistinction to the American White House. The American Leader is a young man of American birth and parentage who was educated at Livingstone College, and is a pulpit orator of no mean ability.

D. Cooke, editor of the Gary Detender and Sun, the leading colored newspaper of Gary, by C. C. Carter, a mail carrier of the Gary postoffice. The shooting occurred late Monday night at the home of Editor Cooke, 1751 Washington street, Editor Cooke and Carter were brothers-in-law, each having married one of the Hampton sisters, who came to this city recently from Bolev, Oklahoma. Family Prominent in Business and Society Editor Cooke and his wife and her sisters are prominent members of Gary's business and social world among our people. Mrs. Zenobia Baghy Carter, the BARASA FOR STATE'S ATTORNEY The various factions of the Republican Party are closing one of the most spectacular campaigns ever held in the political history of this city. Cook County, which has been the storm center of factional political activities, has witnessed a fight unparalleled in previous political campaigns. The most important office from the standpoint of the people appears to be that of State's Attorney. For this office there are three contenders, all soliciting the votes of the various groups of the county. It is very essential that members of our race scan with a critical eye the record of the man to whom they give their support for the office of state's attorney, especially at this critical period of our civil and political existence.

During a session of the National Business Men's League which convened in Philadelphia last month the International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association was given an opportunity to place before the League certain urgent needs of the association. Jesse Binga, president of Binga state Bank, was present and after hearing the statements made by the representatives of the International Committee presented them a check for one hundred dollars. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18th, 1920 wife of the alleged slayer, operates the leading drug store of the race here. Another one of the sisters operates a beauty parlor in connection with Mrs. Bagby Clark's drug store. Still another one of the Hampton family is married to an employee of the United States Steel Corporation of this city. In addition to editing the Gary Defender and Sun Editor Cooke operated a printing office here. Cause of Quarrel Unknown As yet the details of the quarrel leading up to the murder of Editor Cooke are unknown. It is thought that the embroglio arose over some family affairs, as it is known that the editor and his large family connections have been experiencing domestic discord for some time. Every effort is being put forth by the friends of Judge Irwin R. Hazen to secure his nomination today. Judge Hazen has served two years as a member of the Municipal Court bench, filling the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Uhir. His judicial temperament and sympathetic conduct in the performance of his duties has made for him thousands of friends. He is being voted for today for the six year term and should receive the hearty support of all Republicans, regardless of factions. Endorsed by Bar Association Judge Hazen has been endorsed by the Chicago Bar Association, the Lawyers' Association of Illinois and all recognized civic bodies. During his short term of two years on the Ownership of Revolver Causes Death JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 15. The ownership of a revolver caused the death of William Dukes at Fiftone, a small settlement between Maxville and Baldwin. The shoot occurred Sunday morning. The time was brought to this city to the city hospital where he died later. The shooting is alleged to have been caused by Walter Johnson and to have been caused by a physical effort the part of Dukes to obtain a revolver belonging to him which was the possession of Johnson. Chad Pelham is said to have witnessed the shooting. REHEARSAL BROKEN UP BY BULLETS REHEARSAL BROKEN UP BY BULLETS Jealous Husband Suffering Incurable Disease Shoots Wife, Narrowly Missing Other Actors A tale of unrequitted love reached a climax almost fatal Saturday afternoon at 4 p. m. when Paul Wilkinson shot and seriously injured Mrs. Ethel Wilkinson, his wife, aged 21, 5150 S. State street. The near tragedy occurred just as John (Chubby) Burnham, manager and owner of "The Ten Huckleberries" was about to rehearse Miss Monzelle Lewis in the opening song. The parlor was filled with the members of the company and were going through their usual preparations for the night's show for a North Side playhouse, when a gentle rap was heard at the door. Husband Ushered In Paul Wilkinson was ushered into the presence of the actors and actresses and was immediately an- the presence of tresses and was proached by his wife upon whom he had called and with whom he had asked to speak. They both stood near the door which was still open talking in low tones scarcely attracting the attention of anyone else who was present proached by his wife upon whom he had called and with whom he had asked to speak. They both stood near the door which was still open talking in low to mes scarcely attracting the attention of anyone else who was present in the room. Their conversation lasted only a few minutes and they both went out into the hall, closing the door behind them. Just what took place in the hall, no one appears to know. A few moments after the door had closed, Mrs. Wilkinson screamed and burst into the door leading into the room where her associates were rehearsing. Husband Opened Fire As she attempted to escape her husband by protecting herself with the presence of the company, Wilkinson opened fire with a thirty-two calibre revolver, bring four shots, two of (Continued on page 6) 32 Since Jan. 1, 1920, 32 American citizens have by their death at the hands of angry mobs paid the price of American inability to preserve order in the "Land of Liberty."

William Echols, colored, recently convicted of the murder of a nightwatchman, as taken from the jail at Quitman, near here, and lynched early Sunday morning.

MONEY MAN DIES GOTHAM PAPERS FIGHT WELL KNOWN N. O. OVER G.O.P. MONEY MAN DIES (By Staff Correspondent.) (By Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 15—Fred R. Moore, of the New York Age, and George Harris, of the New York News, have thrown a cog into the publicity machinery of the National Republican Campaign committee in this city by their right to decide who will get the biggest share of the funds set apart for the publicity of the Republican campaign. It appears to close observers of the wrangle that the publishers involved in the quarrel are not so much concerned with the amount of publicity they can give Senator Harding's fight as they are with what they are going to get out of it themselves in a financial way. At a meeting of the committee, Harris and Moore came near coming to blows when Moore contended that the Age should have $500 per week, and that the News should get $50 per week out of it. Editor Moore broke up the meeting when he walked out in anger and Col. DuPont is said to be afraid that as a result of the Age editor's holt, the Republicans will lose out at the fall elections. Escapes Noose By Pal's Confession MERIDIAN, Miss., Sept. 15.—William Echols, of this city, condemned to hang Friday for the murder of Henry Davis (white), was granted a last minute reprieve when Henry Lloyd, also slated to hang the same day for the murder of James A. Tyrrel, confessed on the gallows that he, Lloyd, was guilty of both murders, and that Echols was not present at the time of the commission of the crime. Lloyd went to his death calling upon those present to "meet me in heaven." EXTRA ELECTION SPECIAL AND REMANDED TO FEDERAL PRISON EIGHT PAGES AND REM FEDERAL 'Champ' Jack, Whose Fight for Freedom Failed When His Sentence of a Year and a Day Was Confirmed WELL KNOWN N. O. MAN DIES New Orleans, La. Sept. 14.—The whole city mourned the death of John McGinty, a well known character, who was buried here last Saturday. There is scarcely a neighborhood in the city that did not recognize McGinty when he passed. As a rule he carried an enormous basket upon his arm and a pleasant smile upon his face. For fifteen years he played the part of an humble angel of mercy for the dumb and helpless creatures. Through rain, cold or heat it was never too far for him to trudge when a call came from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Drops Dead at Work McGinty dropped dead while still performing the only work that he ever knew and his demise is mourned by every member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and his many friends throughout the city. High tribute was paid to him at the humble funeral services by some of the city's most respected citizens. South Asks For Immigrants (By Equality News Service.) JACKSON, Miss., Sept. 15.—Due to the fact that Hinds county, in which this city is located, shows a loss of 40 per cent of its rural population, President O. B. Taylor, of the Jackson Board of Trade, has sent urgent appeals to the United States Bureau of Immigration asking for foreign immigrants to take the place of those who have left the farms. Farms all over the county are said to be idle, and President Taylor attributes the decrease in population to the migration of members of the colored race to Northern centers. ANDED TO PRISON MUST SERVE HIS YEAR IN JAIL Denied Reduction of Sentence by Judge Carpenter Hopes for the early release of Jack Johnson, the famous ex-champion of the world, began to fade when he was for the second time sentenced to serve one year and one day in the Fort Leavenworth prison for violation of the Mann Act, by Judge Carpenter of the Federal Court, Tuesday morning. It will be remembered that Johnson surrendered to Federal authorities on July 20, after his self-imposed exile of six years in foreign lands. why he voluntarily gave up and returned to America. One reason put forth was that Johnson had been promised immunity by several his wealthy backers in this country. Other reasons given were that Johnson was "persona non grata" in every land on earth, and that he was practically forced to return to this country, as he had nowhere else to go. It is said that Johnson had been given ten days to leave Mexico, and had been refused entry to every other civilized country, and was thus, in every sense of a word, a man without a country. Recipient of Many Favors in Jail Johnson's surrender was heralded throughout the country, and for a time he snatched pre-eminence in the lives of the newspaper reading public from the issues and candidates of the bitterest political fight in history. His arrival in Chicago was looked forward to as an event by his followers, and it is said that over 2,000 of them awaited his arrival at the railroad station here. This reception was nipped in the bud, however, when he was taken from the train at Joliet and incarcerated there. While awaiting his hearing, Johnson was the recipient of (Continued on page 6) HUSBANDS BEWARE! When Mrs. Bessie Woods, 4401 So. State St., awoke in the wee hour of the morning and found her husband had nearly pushed her out of the bed, she sought by the gentle method of shaking him to arouse him from his slumber. It seemed, however, that Morpheus had taken such a strong hold upon him, that he could not be aroused. She leaped from the bed, remembering that under her pillow lay a.44 calibre pistol, and aided by the light of the moon, she took deadly aim at one of John Woods' heels, Needless to say, he awakened and be-took himself to the County hospital, where the gaping wound was treated. Mrs. Woods is sleeping at the expense of the state, now, in a bed all by herself. Untie Shipping Deadlock (By Equality News Service.) NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 15.—Three hundred colored longshoremen appeared at the piers of the White Star Line, foot of West 19th St., last Friday to take the place of the Irish longshoremen who went on strike in sympathy with Lord Mayor MacSwiney of Cork. Shipping activity at a normal condition was resumed for the first time in two weeks. Twenty-five policemen were sent to the pier to preserve order, but no disorder occurred. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP EDITOR Where are those radicals who were preaching direct action, sabotage and self-determination for Negroes just a few months ago? They now may be seen snooping around the Democrats and Republicans performing the political "shake-down acts." Debs is in jail. Lenine and Trotsky are hammering at the gates of Poland, Emma Goldman exiled in Russia, Berger somewhere in Milwaukee, and those Negro leaders have given up the fight that they once so religiously supported. If they have seen error in their ways, we cannot criticize them. It appears that the acid test of poverty is a little bit too strong. We do remember them telling about Diogenes living in a tub. These radicals want brass beds and feather mattresses and $$$$. It is noticeable that some of the oldest Negro publications have filled up their editorial columns with want and hair straightening ads. How is the famished mind of the Negro to be fed when the mouth-pieces of the race can be filled with that kind of junk? The Boston Guardian points out that Emmett Scott was never Assistant Secretary of War. We are not surprised to learn this. We do know, however, that Emmett Scott with his reactionary, pussy-footing methods would be a good Secretary for the Ancient Order of Uncle Toms, and that Major Moton, Bishop Parks, or Roscoe Simmons would vie one with the other in the sorable for the presidency of this order. Those would be "society" girls that must have furs and other expensive social accoutrements that were caught "in the act" and therefore let the world know how it is done and who pays the bills. Why not go to work at Sears Roebuck; it pays to be respectable. Chief Garrity says he is going to close all of the Baseball Pools. What are the "curb lizards" going to do with those three hours that they spent in the pool and barrooms? Now is the time for the traffic cop to get busy and clear the streets, because they are going to be crowded. Those southside merchants who buy stuff from downtown dry goods stores and then add fifty per cent to the price and sell them as "bargains" to the colored people in the Second Ward. That is too much for your carfare. Try and be satisfied with ten per cent. 2 his disgust with the management of Senator Harding's campaign by the colored political leaders down at the Auditorium Hotel. Ralph makes numerous charges against Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia, and even intimates in strong language that unless you are from Georgia, and he styles Georgia a "voteless state" that you can expect no political gravy at the hands of the Georgia Colonel Ralph further charges that while Senator Harding is calling to his front porch former anti-Harding. Republicans of all factions, that his colored leaders at the Auditorium are only permitting those to come in their good graces whose ability is quiescent, but whose loyalty to them is O. K. Sought to Disabuse His Mind I sought to disluse his mind of the idea that it was a case of Georgia for Georgians, but he challenged me to point to one single man who had any part in the affairs of the "separate bureau" that wasn't from the Empire State of the South. I asked him why lay on Col. Johnson, and he insisted that he would be against Chairman Hayes if he represented a state which did not contribute one electoral vote for the Republican candidate. I told Ralph to cheer up, as it was better farther on. I recalled, however, that a few days ago I was emphatically informed by a Mr. Jenkins, that it was the policy of those in charge to give no recognition, regardless of your ability to a colored man who had heretofore been recognized as a follower of the William Flale Thompson political camp. Accepting his word as a statement of fact, since he is alleged to enjoy some political connections with the Lincoln-Brown political combination, I gracefully acknowledged my own elimination. New Day Dawning With the highest regard and respect for all of the gentlemen conducting the Harding campaign (that is, the colored end of it), the time is not far distant when men of narrow vision and small souls will be a thing of the past as important factors in the direction of political campaigns. The Negro is unfortunate in that he is compelled to accept leadership designed for him, not by his own choosing, but often through circumstances over which he has neither control nor voice. Being placed in such an anomalous position, he is often misrepresented and misunderstood by those who select his leaders, but if Illinois casts her electoral votes for Senator Harding, it will be necessary to have the aid and support of all of the colored men and women as well, who are followers of "Big Bill," and no member of the "bread brigade" can with impunity deny this statement. Newspapers Making Protest We have received several letters from editors from all over the country protesting against the present conduct of the leaders of the "separate bureau" and they might yet find are Nov. 8th shall have passed, that a number of the chickens will come home to roost bringing with them a political cackle which will carry with it some discomfiture for this close corporation of political leaders. LET SPRINGER DO IT. UNCLE "EPH". nouns certainly wasn't in line with best grammar. Nancy, my wife was with me at Sunday and when me and Nancy passed one of them corners the air turped blue and all that we could hear was a streak of cuss words that would make the Devil hang his head and give over the Dog. I dunno how Nancy knew how and what them words meant but she turned up her nose and said: Eph; Something ought to be done about them nasty stinking street walkers the filthy language that they uses is a shame and decent ladies is insulted. One of them Bums heard what Nancy said and bawled out, Aw go to hell. Of course Iaint as spry as them Villums but I can holler louder than they as my lungs aint et up with cigarettes and home made whiskey and Lordy what I said to them tramps would er barred the evening newspaper from the mails, Mandy hauled off and hit me a back hand lick in the face and said: Eph Youaint no better than them Bums. Moral: Never ring a fire bell near an old fire horse. TO THE YOU KNOW 'EM EDITOR You know that grocery store on 31st Street where the women come in very thinly clad. I know you know 'em, because its very close to Prairie Ave. Well just tell 'em that ladies of good breeding are still wearing some clothes. You know those society girls who were caught in the raid on Grand Blvd. in the 36th block. Well, if you don't know them, just be in the Morals Court on the 29th when their case is called. They gave fictitious names when they were arrested. You know those people we were talking about some weeks ago because they were talking loud on the street car and telling everybody their business, well, they are still doing it. You know that bevy of fine looking young women who are constantly going in and out of those white doctors offices at the northeast corner of 31st St. and Indiana Ave. I know you have seen them go in and out, I wonder if they are really sick. Lookout, there'll be some more divorce scandal. I wonder if you know that maid down at the Fine Arts Building. Well, if you do, don't let her tell you that she is studying music down there. The only music she ever studies is the jazz at that cabaret near her home. I know you know those summer vacationists who came to Chicago to study summer courses, courses in jazz, the shimmy, and once in a while English at Chicago U. Well, they are back home now, and several of them have divorce suits on their hands. I wonder if you know that moving picture theatre opposite the Avenue; well, they have good shows there, and they have employed a colored ticket seller and a colored ticket collector there. I guess you know that Cooperative Store on 31st St. near Michigan. Well, they have finally taken a step in the right direction. They have installed the colored manager to clerks they promised for so long. SAVINGS DEPT. OPEN SATURDAY S FROM 9 A.M. TO 8 P.M. Statement of Condition Lincoln State Bank of Chicago 3105 SO.

The youthful advocate for education told his opponent, "You better stay in school while you can. Free education is the only thing that the white folks have not taken from us colored people here and you don't know when they will take that away, but the white people will always see to it that the colored people will have enough work to do, besides if you once get an education there ain't no chance for the white people to take it away." This argument convinced his opponent and Nosey was glad to see the spirit of the New Crowd even in the Younger Set. ONLY a few weeks ago, Nosey talked about a monkey man who advertises a certain tailor shop by wearing red stars sewed all over his clothes. Well, that monkey seems to be working pretty fast, he now goes through the streets accompanied by three little colored boys, evidently of his own species, because they too, have the big red stars sewed all over themselves. SOME people will forget that it is a short distance between their back window and the back window of their neighbor's back window across the alley. That is why Nosey saw that same "cave-man" doctor treat one of his "patients" quite roughly last Thursday morning at 2 a.m. in the second apartment of that four flat building in the 45th block on Prairie Avenue. The funny part of it the lady was not sick enough to have any doctor because she went to the door with the "Wild Willie" and bid him a very pleasant "good-night." EVERYBODY was excited the other night about eleven-thirty when a woman ran screaming and all covered with blood from an Apartment House in the 31st block on Indiana Avenue. She was followed by her husband who had administered the chastisement and Nosey in good old Brussels fash on followed the trail of blood up to the third apartment and found out that all the fuss was caused because husband and wife happened to select the same rendezvous with their "sweeties" and then happened to "bump" into each other when they tried to get into the bathroom at the same time. Of course the husband returned and picked up HIS sweetie but the good wife's "little fellow" had made himself scarse when the cutting started. That little incident ought to be a warning to others keep farther apart! You will avoid excitement. YOU will know about that "female specialist!" who has been "practicing" his "cures" on the fain sex with a certain amount of immunity from either the law or public opinion. Nosey set out to find all about the "good physician" and was so "surprised" that he could not write it all so he prepared a nice little brief which he is going to send to the gentleman and let him read about himself as he certainly has not taken the trouble to write an autobiography, no indeed, he could not have done that. CITY BRIEFS THE CHICAGO WHIP Among the Sick Mrs. Annie Yager, age 43, 3009 Dearborn Street and Mrs. Jennie Jackson, age 66, 2951 Prairie Avenue, were removed to the County Hospital September 8th.

SIDE-LIGHTS OF GAY NEW YORK SIDE-LIGHTS OF GAY NEW YORK Down on Coney Island, the little resort which catches the sunbaked citizens of New York and Brooklyn many strange and curious freaks can be seen for the sum of ten cents. One of the strangest is the "ugliest woman in the world," who is being shown in America for the first time. She is an English woman who won the prize over all of the contestants in the United Kingdom. Since the days of Cleopatra, the esthetic eye of the Caucasian has been unable to appreciate beauty of the dark races. The zenith of beauty, according to these esthetic students reposes in the white race. Strange to say the nadir of ugliness should be found in the same race by that same student of beauty Mary Bevan, the ugliest woman in the world, is a white woman and in a cage right next to her is Zip, the famous missing link. Zip is a colored man. We wonder why it was that some relative of Zip was not picked out as the world's ugliest woman. Strange thing the white man's psychology. At 143rd Street and Seventh Avenue, as you drift by on a city bus a strange gibberish can be heard, voices that echo this gibberish are possessed by dusky hued people with Negroid features and Negroid characteristics. They are Negroes. They are from the West india Islands. They have established their own ghetto and are aloof and distinct from the American Negro as far as American customs and preface allow them to be. They take great pleasure in telling you that they are English subjects and if they have not become naturalized, and are of fenced or molested take their troubles to the British Consul. They, like the Japs, are industrious and economical and have a keen insight to business and a distinctive race pride. They are shrewd, proud and planning people, who will eventually gain a firm bootlatch in New York City and will give able and strong assistance in destroying the economic inertia of the Negro. At 138th Street between Seventh and Lenox Avenues, on the north side of the street, many apartment houses line themselves together and accommodate three or four thousand people Husband Assaults Wife Missouri Assaults Wife Arthur Johnson, 3447 Rhodes Avenue, played havoc with his wife, Amie Johnson, 27 years old and of the same address, when he found her September 26th at 37th and Federal Streets. The argument preceding fight is said to have occurred over money matters. Mrs Johnson was severely cut about the head and face. Margaret Cuts, Wright Margaret Cuts Wright Sidney Wright, age 25, 2947 Dearborn Street, severely cut September 13th by Margaret McClain who resides at the same address. When the police arrived Wright claimed that the cutting was an accident. The story was doubted by the officers. Injured in Street Car Wreck William Dawson, age 40 years, 3628 Dearborn street, skull fractured, concussion of the brain as the result of his ice-wagon being struck by Forty-third street west bound car. Sept. 8th is now at the Provident Hospital in a serious condition. Love Quarrel Causes Stabbing Mrs. Florence Strong, 17-year-old wife of Albert Strong, 614 East Forty-third street, is now in Provident Hospital nursing a six-inch cut on the left arm below the elbow. The aggressor in the fight was a Mrs. Jones, who was said to live at the same number and is alleged to have caused by a love affair. Col. William R. Cowan and Charles Summer Jackson left Tuesday night for Louisville, Kentucky, where they will attend the races. Mr. Jackson's 3-year-old will run in the race for the Governor's cup and naturally Mr. Jackson is very much interested in the races. Mr. Jackson and the Colonel will return the latter part of the week. **Struck by Auto** James Milton, age 15, Western Union Telegraph messenger, 3333 Michigan Ave., while passing 35th and Michigan Avenue on September the 8th, was hit by an auto bearing the license No. 4867 Indiana, and was knocked unconscious. He was removed to Mercer Hospital. His assailant escaped. In some rooms in these apartment houses, typical of New York flats, no way of God's good sunshine ever danced. On the other side of the street, however, occupying a half of a square is a one story structure, barely fourteen feet in height. This is the famous Liberty Hall. It is the accumulated genius of Marcus Garvey and his cohort's brains. It is here that the International Convention of Negroes met. It is here that the "back to Africa" movement is fostered. It is here that the dollars that get up steam for the Black Star Line are garnered. It is here that the Negro Factories Corporation is nursed during its embryonic state. It is here that Negroes, thousands, and thousands of them assemble, seeking hope and courage to break the yoke of "White oppression." This is one of the "wonder spots" of America. In the local politics of New York City, the balance of power is held by the Democrats. Surprisingly, the Democrats of New York City control the majority of Negro votes. The Negroes receive political patronage, sinecure positions and vice immunity privileges. The cabarets under their political system are filled with revelers who fill the wee hours of the morning with their drunken maudlaughter. A striking resemblance to Chicago's situation leads us to think that there is very little difference between the Republican and Democratic system of politics. C. M. E. in 50th Convention BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 15—The C. M. E. Church celebrated its 50th Convention in this city Monday. A celebration was held under the auspices of the 4th Episcopal District, and was presided over by Bishop C. H. Phillips, president of the district organization. The conventionites presented an elaborate and constructive program, and their cause was championed by a number of able men. The district embraces the Kentucky, Ohio, Northern Alabama, Central Alabama, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and all the Pacific Slope conferences, the same being the Episcopal district which was under the jurisdiction of Bishop Phillips. The bishop, who is one of the ablest men of the C. M. E. Church, delivered an instructive and impressive address.

The Grand Brown and Gulfport Riot in Big Show Town Top-piks, a big musical satire, opened with a sold out house on Monday night. Well, a real show was present; yes, by far the best of any of the productions yet seen at the Grand. There is some novelties, some music, some costumes and some artists. The construction of the play is novel; no trying plot to wear one out, it is simply as and musical review with funny comedy situations. Brown and Gulfport made their debut in this line as a team and today are the only real stars for this kind of a show. Gulfport as a comedian has no peer, and Brown as a straight man reminds us of the late George Walker. These are truly wonderful artists. Miss Gertrude Sanders scored in all she did, and added color to the show with her classy costumes and artistic ability. Her Washington Square and "Daddy" song were heavily enclosed. Aaron Gates, the producer of this show, well rendered his part, as did Anna Freeman, who cleverly put over her song numbers. Miss Bradford, a little wee girl in her teens, sang a shimmie number in great style and received many encores. Ollie Burgoyne, the great Oriental dancer, a graduate of the Russian ballet school, was perfection in her dance of death, and made a realistic death fail in the finale. Edith Wilson, a ragtime shouter, raised the audience from the seats in her Sophia Tucker style of sing. Ida Fortson did the Russian dances as no one but her can do, and little Clara Smith did a solo buck dance that wore her much favorable intimert. A prima donna by the name of Ruth Allison bea- tifully sang in the Ohio scene. Well this is a great show and should have a long run at this house. The Avenue Theatre "Nobody From Starland" continues to draw good houses. The piece has been changed since its opening last week and rounded into a real production. Mr Brooks knows how if they let him go ahead without the interference of white producers who know nothing about putting on shows for Negro patrons. The Monogram Sid Perris and Henderson's musical extravaganza holds the board here this week. It is a good show full of pep and good music.

COLORED HERB SPECIALIST ATTRACTS ATTENTION Much favorable comment has been caused by the remarkable remedies now being put on the market by Prof. now being placed on the bank W. Finley, of the Herb A- Cure Remedy Co., at 2802 Cottage Grove Avenue. Prof. Finley is a direct descendant from one of the original Indian medicine men of Louisiana and learned the art from him. Prof. Finley, uses no Cure Remedy Co., at 2802 Cottage Grove Avenue. Prof. Finley is a direct descendant from one of the original Indian medicine men of Louisiana and learned the art from him. Prof. Finley uses no chemicals whatever in the preparation of his remedies, but uses the pure roots and herbs alone. The beneficial medicinal properties of roots and herbs is known to many, but few are in possession of the secret of their mixture and combination. When a boy in Louisiana, Prof. Finley watched the old Medicine Man, although unlettered, effect the most remarkable cures for his patients whom he numbered the hundreds. He even mixed the potions. After taking a thorough course in botany at one of the larger universities, Prof. Finley called into use the magical formulae he saw used by his ancestor, and consequently was enabled to reduce the art of herb cures to scientific basis. From these herbs he has been able to mix remedies for backache, sleeplessness, dizziness, heart disturbances, neuralgia, lumbago, loss of flesh, bloating, sallow complexion, poor digestion, female weakness and headache. Prof Finley also prepares "Special Herbacure Sex" for women which he claims has no equal as a remedy for sexual weakness. The Herbacure Remedy Co$^2$ prepares over 30 different kinds of Herb Medicines from pure herbs, roots, barks and flowers, mixed and ready for use with full directions.

SEPTEMBER MORN'TO DRAW BIG CROWDS AT AVENUE The Panama Amusement Co. announces that "September Morn," the Loop musical comedy hit, will be presented at the Avenue Theatre beginning Sunday matinee. This engagement will close appearance of Shelton Brooks and his favorite co-stars. The LaFayette Players will open the fall season at the conclusion of "September Morn's" two weeks' run. "September Morn," which for seven months held the boards of the old La-Salle Theatre in the heyday of that institutions numerous successes, is really one of the best of the La-Salle hits. There are seventeen jingly musical numbers, among them such as "Oha, You September Morn." "A Sparerib from the Butcher Shop of Life," "When a Little Boy Loves a Little Girl," "Where Is the Pleasure in Wine and Song if the Woman Is Not There?" "Sunshade Girl," "Just an Old-Fashioned Garden," and others. The story of "September Morn" is derived from the famous painting of that name. Argentina a famous Parisian dancer, is about to make her debut in New York City and her press agent devises a scheme to make her famous by suggesting to the public that she is the original of the painting. He has the real picture stolen and takes it to Professor Plastric's studio to have it retouched and to have Argentina's head placed in the original painting. The theft is discovered and traced to Plastric's studio, only to find that it had been sent to the artist's home. Counter complications are developed in which many laughs and excruciating situations are propounded. There are three acts in this play, which is the best mounted piece the company has so far displayed. Many sensational gowns are shown during the action of the play, notably the model scene in the first act and the old-fashioned garden in the last act. Mr. Brookes in the role of Professor Plasticus has a part that will no doubt embrace this sterling star's attributes. Shelton Brookes is a name that will live long in the memory of Avenue patrons. In "Canary Cottage" he made an instantaneous hit. In "Miss Nobody from Starland" he was equally well cast, and in "September Morn" the management promises to show him at his best. Miss Eylyn Preer is happily cast in the role of Louse. Alberta Hunter will portray the part of Argentina the famous dancer. Those who have seen Miss Hunter in her former successes will no doubt be satisfied that she was chosen for this difficult role. Miss Lee, easily the big favorite, will be seen in the bewitching part of Mrs. Storin. Ollie Powers as Bunkum will have the best opportunity to show himself to the best advantage since his first appearance. Mr. Keith cast for the part of Teddy, will probably increase his popularity, while other parts will be well distributed among the clever cast. "September Morn" is the first show out of the Loop to appear at the Avenue in its original form. It was one of the biggest hits in the Loop and will without a doubt prove the same for the Avenue. The entire carload of special scenery which was originally used in the LaSalle Theatre will be used at the Avenue, the management having purchased the entire show outright for its Avenue presentation. This will be the last show produced by this company before going east. It is known that the patrons will be sorry to see them go. They will not return until late in the winter with an entire new repertoire of New York plays.

SAUNDERS DRUG CO. Assets over $50,000.00 | Surplus over $10,000.00 Operating the 3 Leading Drug Stores on the South Side MORE TO COME! THE WORLD OF SPORTS WORLD'S SERIES ON FOOT By DAVE WYATT Plans have been persecuted for an intersectional world's series and it will bring together the American Giants, leaders in the Western Circuit race and the Knoxville Giants of the Southern League. Knoxville has won the pennant in the Southern League A. B. race and "Rube" Foster, president of the Western Circuit, and F. M. Perdue of Birmingham, president of the Southern League, have been in conference for some days, the outcome resulting in the arrangement of a series for championship honors. The games will be played at Knoxville, starting Tuesday, Sept. 21st, with games at Birmingham, New Orleans, Atlanta and other points in the southern territory. Knoxville is said to have a team that compares in a favorable manner with the best in the country, having won out with a lead of huge proportion; they have also tabbed games to their credit against some of the strong teams of the North and have a victory to their credit over the A. B. C's of Indianapolis. Following the American Giants, the Taylor team of Indianapolis will also go south and the double series should give the southerners a fine opportunity to rate themselves looking forward to the perfection of an organization of national scope. Besides being president of the Southern League, Perdue is president of a bank at Birmingham, Ala., and is therefore definitely assured of the financial success of the series bringing with him the assurance that the venture should outdo the last stand of the American Giants when they carted away $5,000 for a four-game series. The Western Circuit managers have had their eyes upon many of the Southern League players for some time, the records showing them to be representatives of a high class of play; but as a national organization is the goal sought for, and it can only be attained by the co-operation of baseball interests in all zones, the Western Circuit has rerained from the use of Southern League material, and their attitude in the aforementioned respect makes the coming intersectional series of games a test of real supremacy, both sections having their early season's lops intact. The expense of Western Circuit representatives for making such a trip will run up around between three and four thousand dollars, but President Perdue is confident that the good derived from such a show of fairness and public interest will well be worth the expense undergone. TAYLOR'S REVISED A. B. C.'s HERE SUNDAY This Sunday C. I. Taylor will lead his fighting Hoosier ball players to a second invasion of the territory surrounding the Bastile of the Fosterites, and the subsequent scene promises to be the best affair staged this season. The haughty Hoosier leader comes with his line-up rejuvenated and corrected to such a degree that it can be depended upon to give that sort of show that pleases the tans. Taylor has surrounded his old standbys-Charleston, Clark and Ben Taylor—with a bunch of juveniles recently recruited from Texas, and the newcomers are said to be on a par with the classiest performers in the circuit. The list contains the name of one Williams, a pitcher, a young brother of the great "Cyclone" Williams, and he has the carmarks of a wonder. Washington, the lad who replaced Shively in left field, is a glittering star, while Catcher Mackey throws and receives in a manner to delight. McClure, a new pitcher, is tabbing wins with alarming regularity here of late, and the work of Blackman and Day, with that of Ben Taylor and Clark so impressively impressed the tans out east, where they won over the Bacharach Giants, that the Eastern Circuit batters are proclaiming the class of the country. Charleston, the great base runner, hitter and fielder, is still showing a clean pair of heels to all players on the circuit, his present form being right up to the standard that so endeared him to the hearts of the Chicago fans. The series here was an important bearing upon the standing of the clubs fighting for second and third positions in the circuit, so there will be a real show when Torrentti, Charleston, Grant. Ben Taylor and other stars of both teams hook up in this battle for supremacy. In the meantime the Detroit Stars will entertain the St. Louis Giants in the latter's first show in the Wolverine territory. The Cuban Stars go to Kansas City for a series, while Joe Green's fighting crew will fight it out with some of the Chicago leaguers. Joe Green's Team Wins FOND DU LAC, Wis., Sept. 15—Joe Green's Chicago Giants broke even in a two-game series here last Saturday and Sunday, winning the first game by a large score. Kennedy, a former big league star, pitched the losing game against the colored leaguers and received a thorough trouncing as the result of the savage wielding of the willow by the Chicagoans. (Incorporated under the Laws of the State of Illinois.) Giants Win 4th and Lose 5th In Detroit DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 15.—The American Giants wound up their five game series here last week by winning the fourth and losing the fifth game, thus letting Rube's cohorts return to the Windy City with the long end of the series, three wins and two losses. In the fourth game Lyons started for the Stars and allowed but four hits for eight sessions. In the ninth a bit hit man, a pass, Riggin's error and a pair of singles netted the visitors five tallies and the game. In the fifth game the Giants were not so fortunate. Gatewood was sent to the mound and turned the visitors back for the second time in the series. Riggins and Lyons shared honors in the field, and also at bat, each making a sensational catch, while the former connected for two singles and a double, and the latter, a pair of singles and a home run. Harper also pounded out a circuit drive. The series stands three and two in favor of the American Giants, with the final game Thursday at Mack park. Score: Stars Beat Hall Team HALL, Ind., Sept. 12.—The Indianapolis Stars, colored team from Indianapolis, defeated the local team yesterday 3 to 2. Baldwin allowed the local team only two hits and fanned thirteen men. The Stars play the Bloomer Girls and the Fernales next Sunday at North western park. Clarence Lee Ties World's Record in 100 Yard Dash Clarence Lee. 3351 Calumet Ave. in the Sears Roebuck Track and Field meet, Saturday, Sept. 11th, contesting with over 200 entries tied the world's record in the hundred yard dash, the record time being 9 3/5 seconds. For the past three years he has won the Cook County Championship and won the Nelson, All-Around Championship Medal. Something Worth While "I'm a very busy man, sir. What is your proposition?"

THE CHICAGO WHIP STARS AND GIANTS DIVIDE BILL The battle for supremacy on the diamond as staged between Tom Williams and Holland, Detroit's crack moundsman, was settled when the American Giants took the Detroiters into camp last Sunday in the first game of a double bill. Williams pitched the steather game of the two, but Holland's offering was supported by the best catching, the veteran Petway giving up the most shining exhibition of receiving and throwing seen here in many a season. The number of men who started down the path to second on the Vet catcher was six, and he got every man, the list including all the most fleet foot and best base runners on the Foster team. The stick work of the Chi crew proved a little too heavy and timely, especially that of Torrentiti, who laced out four hits in as many times at bat, registering a double and a triple. Bobby Williams played a whale of a game, accepting nine difficult chances and slamming a triple at a timely moment. Warfield for the Stars put up a game that stumps him as one of the very best, the youthful shortstop Riggins, displayed a form both at bat and in the field in the second contest. Big Bill Gatewood proved conclusively that he is without a peer on the circuit when he held the foster crowd in easy fashion in the second game, beating them, making the third straight win over the same team in one week's time. Gatewood has downed all teams on the court and books to be going over that time in his long career. The Stars put up a consistent gang of batters on the circuit; however, the Foster team encountered but little difficulty in pulling off the same perplexing inside play, that stuff that has started so many teams down the chute the past season of play; but the Stars reveal unmistakable signs of being a very formidable foe for the Americans, and their play has left a decidedly unsettled state of mind as to just which team is really the best. As the season's play now stands, the Giants are in the lead, but Blount, P. Hill & Co have a team, that with an addition or two, is going to make the Foster crowd hustle to remain out in front for another season.

HARLAN, Ky., Sept. 15—Emma Parsons, white, aged 25, a teacher in the Pine Mountain Settlement School near here was found dead on a lonely mountain trail. There were no clews to the murder, but the mere fact that the white woman's body was found near convict camp where 70 colored men were imprisoned, was cause sufficient for the newspaper to criticize vicinity to publish in such a manner as to assume that colored men were responsible for the death. Failing to find any colored man upon whom to pin the supposed murder, the authorities allowed the investigation to drop, as it never occurred to them that anyone but a colored man could have committed the crime. EASTERN FOOTBALL STAR PAYS VISIT TO WHIP DO NOT CATER TO COLORED TRADE Mayo Williams, start end on the Brown University eleven, paid a flying visit to editors of the Whip who are his old friends and gave glowing reports of the colored lads in eastern sports. Williams is the successor to the famous Polard and was his roommate at Brown. Williams, who is affectionately known as Ink by his friends, was selected on Walter Camp's all American team in 1917 and last year was given a berth on the all eastern eleven. He is also holder of the New England record in the 40 yard dash and is a great broad jumper, having done as much as 23 feet in an exhibition tryout. Williams states that he was ronghed in the last Yale game and that he was called a Nigger. He feels that by supreme ability that the colored athlete will break down the prejudice that exists against him on account of his race and color. He left Sunday afternoon to join the Brown football squad which starts training on the 15th of September. Davis Given Permanent Commission WASHINGTON D. C., Sept. 15.—Benjamin O. Davis, colored, now Lieutenant-Colonel of Cavalry, U. S. A., and the highest ranking officer in the United States Regular Army. Col. Davis received his commission a few days ago which changed his rank from that of a temporary officer to that of an officer in the permanent organization. Col. Davis has risen to his present rank from the station of an enlisted man, having been appointed second lieutenant as a result of a competitive examination open to enlisted men in February 1901. Col. Davis takes the position of pre-eminence heretofore held by Col Charles Young, a West Pointer, who was retired several months ago by reason of physical disability.

G CO. What Was Missing? At 214 S. Wabash avenue is located the Music Shop, Inc. It is a clean and tidy little establishment of which one Mr. Chas Bent is the president. In this popular district of music dealers any American citizen would feel that his patronage would be appreciated and he would be as welcome as the flowers in May. However, one cannot even tell anything about the buying capacity of his dollar especially if he happens to be of dark skin. Even a dollar does not carry Democracy with it. The Music Shop referred to employs one Mr. Bent, who is the son of the institution's president, and he states that they are not particular about colored trade and although he had no dislike for them that he was afraid that they would become a menace to the business. It is said that colored people are the greatest music lovers in the world and that their very souls are musical, and that contribute more to musical genius of mankind than any other group. They also it said spent quite a deal of money for music rolls and records and that at least 60 per cent of the 200,000 in Chicago own either a graphophone or a piano player. Mr. Bent, notwithstanding is not particular about colored trade, even though his father was a member of the Grand Jury which sat upon last summer's riot cases. Colored People to Go Elsewhere When the fact became known to the colored people on the South Side that their patronage was not collected, they became very indignant and stated that they knew where they could get heart's desire in music supplies and that would be received with open Good Idea Jones was at the theater and behind him sat a lady with a child on her lap which was crying uneasingly. Unable to stand it any longer, Jones turned smilingly to the lady and asked: "Has that infant of yours been christened yet, ma'am?" "No, sir," replied the lady. "If I were you I would call it 'Good Idea.'" said Jones. CARR'S MELTON AND OVERCOAT 00 AND UP THE TAILOR STATE STREET CO.

(Reprinted by Request.) HAS SEPARATE POWER PLANT Decidedly Novel Arrangement of Ship Recently Devised by an Ingenious Frenchman. As odd a ship as one is likely to meet at sea is described as the invention of a French maritime expert seeking a means for lowering the cost of transporting cargoes. Hitherto a ship and the power plant that makes it move have been regarded as one and inseparable, and while the cargo is being taken on or discharged, the power equipment necessarily lies idle. And Popular Mechanics Magazine, has invented a new kind of vessel in which the power plant is detachable, and having temporarily finished its work for one cargo can then busy itself with another. As this new ship is put together, the cargo-carrying section, naturally much the larger part of it, ends with a V-shaped indentation, much like the indentation which the grocer makes in a new cheese when he cuts a pound for his customer, and the bow of the section that carries the power plant fits into this space as neatly as the customer's purchase, providing the grocer has a good eye for a pound, would fit back into the cheese.

They Have Cold Feet, Too Harding and Coolidge sat down to dine. Coolidge ordered beans and Harding did the same. After the banquet was served Gannabel (harding called the waiter). "Our beans are cool," shorted Gannabel. "Sorry, sir," replied the waiter. "Why not put on your hats."—New York Evening World. Harding Harding's Creed for Humanity PETER H. Senator WARREN G. HARDING A VOTE FOR Every right a Enjoys Camer Citizenship, the Democra The Democra twelve million and loaned to A VOTE FOR THIS TICKET OPENS THE DOOR OF HOPE Thousands of colored people who have moved into Northern labor centers from the Democratic South, CAN VOTE, provided they hold the qualifications of other men. The fact that they are colored does not interfere. Tell them of this privilege, and direct them to their county or city chairman of the Republican organization, who will be glad to give them full instructions. Every right and every privilege of Citizenship that the Colored American Enjoys Came Through the Republican Party. Every Reprisal Against His Citizenship, Every Constitutional Privilege He Has Lost Was Taken By the Democratic Party. The Democratic party, its platform and its candidates have all ignored the twelve millions of colored citizens, who defended the flag in time of war and loaned to the Government one-fifth of their wealth. THINK and VOTE AS YOU THINK HOUSEWIFE OF TODAY KEEPS FOOD ACCOUNT She Is Checking Up Weights and Measures of Products. Decreased Buying Power of Dollar Makes Her Think and Avoid All Kinds of Waste—Lessens Prices in Many Ways. The modern housewife is becoming expert in buying. She is reading the labels, in accordance with the suggestion made by the United States department of agriculture, and checking up the weights and measures of the food products she buys. She has learned when to buy in quantity and when in small amount, and when it is more economical to buy in bulk than in package. Many have compared the cost of making bread at home and of buying it and are choosing the way that is best for them. The lessened buying power of the dollar has made her think and avoid all kinds of waste. The family must be kept well nourished, but the wife and mother should not provide more food than is needed. She must know what kind of food will fill her market basket to the best advantage. Along with this knowledge is that of how much of the family food should come from each food group and how far it is wise to save money by using more food from the less expensive groups. The housewife of today is keeping a food account and checks up her weekly buying by the plan she has made. If she wishes to try to lessen prices for everybody here are some of the ways she is going at it: By producing food at home; by using local products; by choosing food that is plentiful in the markets; by lessening her use of such foods as are scarce; by co-operative buying; and by using the parcel post.

Press Custorage Space PRESSING CAR The Political World (Continued from page 1) With no disarrayment to other contenders, it is fitting that we should call the attention of the public to the judicial record of Municipal Court Judge Bernard P. Barasa who is asking for our support in his fight for the office of state's attorney. It will be recalled by hundreds of our people that during the critical and trying period of August and September, 1919, that we were going through a racial unpleasantness brought about by reasons of a riot where our rights and liberties were in jeopardy because of the prejudiced conduct of some of the judges in the "courts of first instance" that it was Judge Bernard P. Barasa who came boldly to the front and declared that regardless of color, race or creed that no man would be denied a fair and impartial trial in his court. His actions in handling hundreds of cases therecatter measured with his words. He was instrumental in the prevention of numbers of police "frame-ups" wherein they sought to and in some instances did succeed in their propaganda of prejudice. Declared Sadler Law Unconstitutional It was Judge Barasa who had the moral courage, coupled with the legal knowledge, to determine and declare the Sadler Law, which was born for a netajitic purpose, unconstitutional and this ruling was made at the instance of an attorney of our race, involving a member of our group. In the contest for state's attorney the opportunity presents itself to us to acquit the debt thru the medium of our suffrage which we owe the judge for his manly stand at a crucial time. JUSTICE DAY'S SON FOR CONGRESS We note with approval and interest that Hon. Stephen V. Day of Exonston, Illinois, is candidate for Congressman at large for the state of Illinois. We remember that in those famous civil rights cases which were before the Supreme Court of the United States some years ago, Mr. Justice Day and Mr. Justice Harlan were constantly dissenting against any of their brothers' opinions which would be against the Negro. Any student of constitutional law can verify this statement by reading the Supreme Court Reporter. Mr. Justice Day made a long and consistent fight for the Negro. Mr. Justice Day is dead but his son still lives and is now candidate for Congress. We trust and believe that when he is elected that he will introduce important measures before that august assembly in the interest of that group for which his father so valiantly fought. He will receive a heavy vote from his colored friends. ATTY. PHILP FOR MUNICIPAL COURT ATTY. PHILP FOR MUNICIPAL COURT 693 PREV Attorney John R. Philip has announced his candidacy for Municipal Court Judge in the September Primaries. He has the support of the Deneen-Brundage faction of the Republican Party and the endorsement of a number of civic bodies. He is a native of Illinois and has resided continuously in the Twenty-first Ward for twenty years. He entered politics several years ago, aligning himself with the Deneen-West Organization of the Ward and has been an effective power ever since. Successful Lawyer SUCCESS LAW His unusual ability as a lawyer soon brought to him a large and lucrative practice. He has been persuaded by his many friends and influential civic bodies to make the sacrifice and become the candidate for judicial honor. They discerned in him an even temperament and poise, qualifying him for the high position of passing upon the rights of his fellow man. Stands High in Civic Affairs For the past twenty years he has been numbered ' among those who have exercised every wholesome influence for community and civic improvement. His attitude affecting the interests of the colored people was strikingly and significantly observed in the late unfortunate riots a year ago in that on several occasions during those unfortunate weeks, he in company with Deputy Sheriffs piloted members of our race in his own car from their places of employment on the North Side to their homes on the South Side. Such friendly attitude exercised under such trying circumstances deserves our consideration.—Advt. Read The Whip JUDGE HAZEN FOR MUNICIPAL COURT (Continued from page 1) bench, he has presided in many of the civil and quasi-criminal branches of the Municipal Court. For seven months, he was judge of the Speeder's Court and it is probable that in this court, he is known best for his humane methods, seasoned with common sense and good judgment by which he has administered the law. Varied Experience as Alderman Before his ascendency to the bench, the judge served three terms as alderman of the 33rd Ward, rendering to the people of this city services of highest character. His attitude on public questions, whether civil or political is well known to the citizens of Chicago and his cagerness to be bargain and impartial to all groups has been clearly demonstrated by his activities on the bench. Void of Prejudice A study of his judicial record shows him to be a man who as a public official lyes beyond the hampering influences and petty racial prejudices which so often disturbs and disgraces the judicial action of some of the members of the Municipal Court. He administers the law according to law and does not arrogate to himself the right to determine the defendant's case by his racial identity. Among the many candidates on the ticket we should leave no stone unturned in seeing to it that members of our group are made fully acquainted with civic and judicial Hazen. LIFE.

One of the two shots which went wild came within a few inches of striking Mrs. Fannie Burnham, wife of "Chubby" Burnham. Statement from Eye-Witness In an interview with the Whip reporter, Mr. Burnham made the following statement: "Mrs. Wilkinson has been with my company ever since I organized and has shown acknowledged talent in the performance of her work. Saturday afternoon last when her husband called, while it was known that they were separated for some time, his visit occasioned no surprise. He had recently visited her two times and from indications had no occasion to be mentally disturbed. When he pulled his gun as she burst into the door and began to shoot all of us were unable to account for his act except to conclude that he was mentally deranged by reason of his aliments." Ill for Some Time Paul Wilkinson had been ill for some time, suffering from what is said to be an incurable disease and only two weeks ago left the hospital where he had been receiving treatment. He is said to reside in this city with a relative who lived somewhere in the vicinity of 52nd and Wabash Avenue. He did not attempt to escape and surrendered to the police without a struggle.

His appearance at the Royal Gardens, it is reported, was to be his expression of gratitude for their efforts in his behalf. Arraigned Tuesday Morning At his trial Tuesday morning before Judge Carpenter, of the federal Circuit Court of Appeals, Johnson appeared to be in the best of health. He was nattily attired in a broad-brimmed pearl gray hat, blue serge clothes, silk socks and bright tan shoes. A plea for reduction of sentence, was asked, but Judge Carpenter denied it, declaring Johnson had flouted the laws of the United States and was entitled to no consideration. Permission to file a writ of error was granted, but the learned court said it would be of no use, as one previously had been tried and had failed. Immediately after the trial Atty, S. A, T. Watkins, of the firm of Denison Watkins & White, Johnson's counsel stated that the case would be immediately carried to the United States Supreme Court. Defense Criticized Defense Citizen Eye witnesses at the trial of Jack Johnson contend that if he had been more ably defended, he might be walking the streets of Chicago a free man today. It is claimed by those present that Atty. Watkins seemed to be at a loss throughout the progress of the entire case, and failed to take advantage of several points of law upon which Johnson's freedom balanced. It was evident to the spectators that the prosecution was attempting to rush the case through, and used tactics to this end so successfully that Atty.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION TIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTIOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. Since Woodrow Wilson conscripted nearly 2,000,000 men for war service against Germany, since the Volstead Amendment has been passed and effected, since the Espionage laws have limited free speech and peaceful assemblage, the subject of "personal liberty" has been upon every tongue. From the lips of fanatics, agitators, soap-box oraters, reformers and revolutionists, the stentorian cry has been, "Give us our personal liberty!" Without entering into the difficult issue of "self-determination," without pausing to discuss the merits of prohibition or radicalism as these issues concern the Negro, we pass to a consideration of the wider and broader and more practical phases of "personal liberty." The American colored man wants personal liberty. Liberty results not from bleating cries, brandishing hands and undignified motion. Liberty, personal and impersonal, is the resultant of consolidated strength, unity and wealth. Liberty and freedom in this present age, when money's voice rings louder than the wall of theorists, can be secured only by the shrewd application of funds. In this age of scientific warfare, you cannot conquer with the crude implements of nature such as fists, feet, sticks and stones. You would provide yourself with shot and shell, machine guns, rifles, airships and tors. If you would fight for personal liberty (?), you would these Twentieth Century swords and shields. In order them, you must have money. If you would vote against the abrogation of denial of your liberty you would resist your voters and convince them of the merit of your cause. During recent days it seems highly imperative to possess "slush funds" to control votes. We are at least positive that flaring banners, printed slogans and propaganda media are procured with money, streams of it, that seem to pour incessantly into the gaping coffers of political profiteers. If you would win out at the polls (?), then man the polls and the precincts. It takes money to do this. If you would pray for your liberty, or select a reverend apostle to pray for you (?), this apostle must have food and shelter and petty cash to pay war tax on the necessities of life. The prayer cannot always be rendered in the open. The churches are the holy temples and the mortgages which hang over the holy temples must be met. Prayer takes money. Should you desire that your liberty be given you, should you plead and beg for it (?), should you weep such tears of blood that their passionate heat would melt the stone heart of your oppressors (?), unless you were able to intelligently protect and manipulate your liberty, those same oppressors would snatch it away and style you unfit as they have done. The "gift of liberty" can be perpetuated during this capitalistic period by surrounding that liberty with a bulwark of financial institutions whose destruction would wreck the structure of State. Money will perpetuate the "gift of liberty." It seems, therefore, that personal liberty cannot be secured either by war, prayer, suffrage or gift unless the race has money. Patrick Henry, crying "Liberty or Death," was able to fight and win liberty by the use of the colonists' money. In order to be free from the curse of liquor, the "Drys," led by John D. Rockefeller, were able to man the Legislatures and voters by the profuse use of money, and personal freedom and liberty from alcohol was granted. The apostles have been able to provide places of worship and to wage crusades for Christianity aided by the wealth that they had accumulated. The Jews have been able to protect their personal liberty in America by using their money to gain control over the banks, railcads and other public institutions in America, which were inseparable from the government itself. The American Negro must have personal liberty. At the present time he cannot establish a church or a school without begging a donation from the white man. He cannot wage a local warfare without borrowing, begging or stealing implements of war. He cannot finance a political campaign unless his "master's" money is solicited. How then can he get any "personal liberty"? The American Negro is essentially a laboring class. Labor is a commodity. It should be sold at the highest market price. The price is controlled by the supply and the demand. The supply can be controlled by the organization of Negro labor. The demand for labor is indispensable. Organization of Negro labor would make it indispensable as long as the ratio of population is ten to one. These things being true, the Negro in return for his labor can get the price or the exchange value which is money or its equivalent. The money being secured through organization of labor which must, will and is being accomplished. That money must be used in the fostering of Negro institutions. The Co-operative spirit which has permeated England must be seized upon by Negroes. Negro money and labor must be bound together my hoops of steel. The institutions must be supported by Negroes even to the point of sacrifice. These things will result in consolidated strength and unity and will give us wealth. Wealth will give us personal liberty. With it we can either fight for this liberty, vote for this liberty, pray for this liberty, and protect it after it is given to us. The fight for personal liberty begins again. WE MUST NOT FAIL! ```markdown ``` AN EMPIRE WITHIN AN EMPIRE HARLEM—150,000 STRONG RACE CAPITAL NOW AT HARDING'S DECLARATION WASHINGTON AGAINST SERGREGATION If you stand at Lenox avenue and 1350th street in Harlem, at the upper end of Manhattan, and draw a circle with a radius of half a mile you will have inclosed a unique and remarkable Negro city of 150,000 population within the greater city of New York the best housed and best behaved Negro city in the world. No alleys no broken down, ramshackle tenements. Not a fringe of wretched shanties around. "where the white folks live," as you may find South, but a solid substantial, up-to-date american city. Raymond G. Carroll writes in the Philadelphia editor. Two types of buildings make up this model, densely settled Negro district. There are the "new law" apartments of modern steel construction steam heated and each flat provided with a bath, those of three rooms averaging a monthly rent of $20, those of seven rooms, $75. And west of 8th avenue, in 136th, 137th, 138th and 139th streets, are long stretches of handsome new individual homes owned and occupied by Negroes in Chicago and other Northern cities provided with "black belt" have had race riots, but such a misfortune has never fallen upon "Negro Harlem." Plenty of Work for the Negro Let us go among the Negroes or New York for a saunter and study their living problems. They have, indeed, become very sensitive to the social and economic currents that are running around the earth today. Before the European war started, cutting off white immigration from America and taking white aliens back to the armies abroad, the Negroes in the North had plenty of rights, but no work. The South always has prosperity and gave them they say, very little in the way of rights. The vacuum created in the industrial world of America by the secrecy of white alien labor gave the Negroes their great chance. In New York the occupational fields for Negroes have been considerably broadened. It used to be extremely limited. Outside of running elevators, acting as personal servants and street cleaning, there once was nothing for them to do. They had even been replaced as waiters in the hotels by white aliens, who pleased the patrons not half so well. Now they are back again in the hotels, are doing long-distance work upon the docks, have admitted into the unions of the paper trades and are employed in trucks. Along professional lines the University of the Negro has been marked. Today there are 25 colored dentists, 50 colored doctors, 40 colored lawyers, and 162 social workers in this city. There are 11 colored policemen patrolling the streets of Harlem and other municipal departments have also welcomed the Negro. Colored Men in the Professions Individually the Negro has made his way. Dr. Louis T. Wright, who (Continued from page 1) of the Chicago Whip, who was a class-mate of his, stated that the American Negro must breathe a treer air, and under his guidance and leadership he would be carried up to "heights delectable," and that he would devote all of his time, energy and brain to the cause of his people. He is to receive a salary of $15,000 per annum. Judge Hazen Entertains Bar Association Judge Hazen, judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago, entertained the members of the Cook county bar association at the Vincennes Hotel on Friday evening, the Judge who is candidate for re-election made an excellent speech to lawyers and said among other things that the spirit of that body of jurists was the kind that would eventually solve the most serious aspects of the race question and that is misunderstanding. All of those present made fitting after dinner speeches. The banquet was presided over by Atty. Richard Westbrooks who acted in the capacity of toastmaster. Those who were present were Attys. Mollinson, Waring, Macintyre, Stradford, Harper, Sims, Moore Dawson, Bibb, Terry, Ross, Clanton Blackwell, Barnett, B. Barnett, Jr. and Editors Linton and Macneal of the Chicago Whip. LET SPRINGER DO IT. THE CHICAGO WHIP OF THE THIN AN EMPIRE 50,000 STRONG served as a captain in the 36th infantry overseas, has discovered a new method of vaccination which was adopted by the New York state board of health and approved by the surgeon-general of the United States army. Dr. Hubert C. Vincent, who recently resigned from the medical staff of the Bellevue hospital, has left behind in surgical usage there a most important discovery. In Vertner W. Tandy the colored people of New York has a wonderful architect. He designed the Phillip's Episcopal church, which stands in West 134th street, and has the richest colored congregation in the world. The Rev. H. C. Bishop, its rector, told the writer that his church owned more than a million dollars' worth of property. Two members of the board of aldermen of New York City are Negroes. They are George W. Harris, editor of the New York News, a weekly Negro publication, and Dr. Charles Roberts, John E. Nail and Henry Parker are the largest Negro real estate dealers in Harlem, frequently handling deals involving millions of dollars. A canvass of the realty business developed the information that in the last eighteen months colored people have themselves invested more than $5,000,000 in Harlem apartments and dwellings. Charles W Anderson, former internal revenue collector for the district, says the time is near at hand when Negroes will own their city within the city. Phillip Randolph, editor of the Messenger, a colored monthly magazine, is the candidate for state comptroller on the Socialist ticket. American Empire of Their Own The most influential Negro paper in New York is the Age, owned and edited by Frederick R. Moore, who was a close personal friend of the late Booker' T. Washington. James Weldon Johnson is contributing editor of Mr. Moore's journal, the only Negro newspaper in New York that has its own plant. Mr. Johnson is also associated with Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, editor of the Crisis, a monthly magazine. Rosamond Johnson, brother of Editor Johnson, is a musical composer of note. The Negroes of Harlem have their own grocery stores and meat markets, their own savings and loan associations, and shortly two colored banks are to be put in operation. It is estimated that more than 5,000 automobile licenses are held in the names of these colored residents. They have a theater of their own, the Lafayette a playhouse at this corner of 1,537th street and 7th avenue, where a versatile troupe of Negro actors present 100 different dramas, ranging from the classic to the Broadway farce Over a dozen picture houses are in the district. All of this indicates small likelihood of a rush to the jungles of Africa, chasing an empirical butterfly when they have an empire of their own in Harlem. HARDING'S DECLARATION AGAINST SERGREGATION Press report of Audience with the National Equal Rights League read by Senator Harding and approved as corrected by him. Marion, Ohio.—Sept. 11th. — The National Equal Rights League represented by the President N. S. Taylor of Chicago, First Vice President Rev. N. A. M. Shaw of Boston, and National Executive Secretary William Monroe Trotter of Boston with Mr. Trotter as speaker, laid before Senator Harding the Grievance Report and Justice Demands of the National Colored Conference called by the League in Chicago last April, for federal action against lynching, against denial of the ballot for colored, and segregation in travel and the abolition of color segregation by the Federal Government in the executive departments. He ask Mr. Harding to recommend action on the first three by Congress and as President to accomplish the abolition of the federal segrega- Harding's Reply Senator Harding promised a careful study of the Congressional Measures to the end of correction of the abuses. He declared emphatically against Federal Segregation and said "If the United States cannot prevent segregation in its own service we are not in any sense a Democracy". Delegation pleased. The League officers expressed satisfaction with the candidates acceptance speech statement and told Mr. Harding that the League officers would vigorously support him. "And why 'Good Idea?' said the lady, indignantly. "Because," said Jones, "it should be carried out." It was Jones who had to be carried out. The rich man says he lets his money work for him! Did you ever see a dollar digging a ditch? Who Watches Over Us "Now, my little son," said Mr. Winks softly, "you must remember that wherever you go and whatever you do, there is always an eye that is forever fixed upon you. Do you know whose eye it is, Bobbie?" "Yeth, popper," lisped Bobbie "Mither Palmer's." An Alibi "Can anyone in the class tell me who was the mother of Moses?" inquired the blushing teacher of her Sunday school class. HEALTH HINTS. By Dr. W. A. Fouls "No man liveth unto himself and no man dieth unto himself." The processes of nature unknown to us gave us life and the processes of nature shall take it back. Nature and fate deal the cards to us but while it is our bounden duty to play our hand with all the skill we can, carelessness and neglect are as much culpable as con- cesses of nature shall take it back. Nature and fate deal the cards to us but while it is our bounden duty to play our hand with all the skill we can, carelessness and neglect are as much culpable as conscious transgressions of known laws. "To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not to him it is sin and sin generally brings punishment eventually." It will do very little good expatiationing on the past or prognosticating on the future. Today while there is life, time and opportunity let us strive for attainment with every ounce of force at our command. Many things come apparently by chance to some people but while it may be true that "time and chance happen to all," yet remember it is also true that "what-ever a man soweth that shall he also reap." Physical and mental efficiency are absolutely necessary if we are to expect the best out of life. Ability work and faith are the three pillows upon what success is built and anyone can succeed if he lay the true foundation, efficiency. A sick man has no chance because of disability, even though he is willing to work and have faith in abundance. Don't be satisfied to remain so-so or fairly well, when you can have the very fiber of your being bubbling over with vital force and energy. If you have not this energy it is on account of either one of two things. It is either that you are not generating enough or that you are generating but dissipating it. You must learn how to germinate energy for this dynamo, the human body has every apparatus necessary for its accomplishment. Utility is that for which everything exists so get busy and do not let anything remain idle that can be utilized to increase your efficiency. You must learn also to control the temperature because if you generate 10 ounces and seventeen you are dissipating and shall soon be a bankrupt with disease following in its wake. To generate to capacity with conservation to the minimum you shall soon find yourself springing up like the green grass after the scath and blight of the winter's shivering blasts. If your_body cannot hold energy there must be a leak somewhere, which must be found and stopped because it is quite impossible to be weak and incapacitated while using all the means to generate and every precaution to consume man is related to everything and everything is benevolently disposed towards and stands ready and willing to serve him. We need have no fear, provided always we are using every instrumentality at our disposal to get results. Impresess Love With Knife JACKSONVILLE. Fla. Sept. 15. When Sylvester Hurlbert, a passionate young lover, discovered that pleading and persuasion would not control the action of his sweetheart Miss Dreweille Butler of 644 Johnson St. he sought to make his impression more sudden and decisive by the help of As. a result Miss Butler is in the hospital and Hurlbert in durance vile. The Red Centipede The Chicago Tribune prints a cartoon of the Bolshevik army menacing all of Europe. A few weeks ago the Tribune was shouting that the Bolsheviks were on their last legs. What great general was it who said an army traveled on its belly? Perhaps some of those super-patriots who are telling us to prepare for the next war would do us a favor if they would explain how to end the last one. Explained "Pap," said a colored youth. "M'd like you-all to expiate on de way dat telegraph wo'ks." "Huh! Dat's easy 'nuf, Rastus," said the old man. "Hit am dis yer a-way: Ef dere was a dawg big 'nuf so his head could be in New Yok' an, his tail in Bosting, den ef you-all trump his tail in New Yok' he bark in Bosting. Is you understand, Rastus?" "Yessa! yessa! But how am de wireless telegraph?" For a moment the old man was stumped. Then he answered easily, "Jes' perceptly de same, Rastus, wid de exception dat de dawg am maginary." Up went the hand of the brightest and youngest of the bunch, a blackeyed seven-year-old. "Well, Jimmy, whom do you think was the mother of Moses?" "Why, sure, Pharaoh's daughter, was." "No, Jimmie, she only found Moses in the bullrushes, don't you remember?" With a look of unutterable contempt for the unsophisticated of his teachings Jimmie replied: "Huh! Dat's we were said?" Just Like It Anyway The teacher was attempting to impress upon the pupil's minds the wonders of the rainbow. "What is it, Johnny that is so resplendent with every color, which is visible to the naked eye and yet no matter how far we travel we could never get within reach of it?" "Aw, I know wot dat is, teacher—dat's prosperity." "Johnny, you're a pig," said a father to his little five-year-old boy. Johnny, you are a pig! said a father to his little five-year-old boy. "Now do you know what a pig is Johnny?" ```markdown ``` ANNOUNCEMENT The Liberty Life Insurance Co. in process of organization and located at 3515 Indiana Ave. wishes to announce that it has ABSOLUTELY NO connection with The Liberty Life and Casulty Co. of 2 East 31st Street of which W.

The shooting was done by Anthony Tomberello, owner of a soft drink stand on Tchoupitulas Street. According to Richardson's story, he and Tomberello had words when he (Richardson), went in and called for two bottles of beer. The controversy over the two empty bottles that were to be left, caused the Italian to become abusive and insolent, contending that the bottles were on the same kind of bottles that he had taken away the day before. The argument was patched up temporarily, but later on that evening, he was walking along the street when without warning he was attacked by Tomberello who began firing. Richardson said that he tried to run away and succeeded in getting a block away from the place when he was brought down by a bullet from the Italian's gun.
