President Appeals to World Conscience. PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Nov. 20.—When J. Weldon Johnson, private American investigator disclosed reports of wanton cruelty and murder by American marines on this island, and followed it up with charges of flagrant misgovernment by American military officials, his reports were branded as false at Washington. Nevertheless, such a furore of indignation was aroused, that the State Department appointed a commission to come to Haiti and ascertain the facts. The commissioners arrived in Haiti aboard the ship Niagara, and immediately began investigations, with the result that Mr. Johnson's charges have so far been substantiated in part, and bid fair, as the investigation proceeds to be substantiated in full. financial adviser who has turned au- crat, and now controls Haitian finance; That Haiti has been made pay $250 per month for two rat-cat- ers in New Orleans; That a system accounting has been instituted and disposed by Americans whereby Haiti are unable to count their own mon- that An American autocracy ex- under the guise of advice and reck-orship; That Haiti's American "financial adviser" withheld funds provide by the French government for salaries of three fellowship professes from France to the College of P Au Prince; That this same "adviser" took a flier in finance, changing a 000,000 from American to French currency at a time when the market value of the franc was lowest, and then be- again into American currency, President Says He Is Ignored President Philip Sudre D'Artiguenave's charges that complaints concerning conditions in Haiti were pigeon-holed even before reaching Washington were proved when it was revealed that copies delivered to American authorities in Haiti for transmis- sion to Washington had never left Port Au Prince. Copies of these charges were on file with Haitian officials, but no one knows what has become of their duplicates. Among these charges are the following specifications: That Haiti is paying $10,000 a year to an American REFUSE CLEMENCY TOELAINE "RIOTERS" LTTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 24.—Gov. Charles H. Brough issued a statement here late last week to the effect that no clemency will be shown in the cases of the six men now under death sentence for participation in the Elaine, Ark., "riots" last year. The governor stated that the fixing of dates for their execution awaits only official notice from the United States supreme court that the cases will not be reviewed by that tribunal. GETS $300 HE EARNED DURING CIVAL WAR CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Miss., Nov. 24.—Abe Sojourner, of this city, received notice from the Yazoo & Miss, Valley R, R, Co., that he has been allowed a claim for labor performed for that company aggregating $300, which was earned during the war between the states. Sojourner went to the front with his young 'master during the siege of Vicksburg and was put to building bridges on the railroad. After the war, Sojourner went back to civil life and forgot his claim. Recently some one suggested that he put in his claim, which he did, with the result that his name was found on the books of the company, and the claim acknowledged. It was then only a question of identification and Sojourner got his money. He says it was like taking candy, from a baby. NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Nov. 24—John Taylor of this city was held to the January Grand Jury when he pleaded guilty to the charge of robbing the Langley Bottling Works here. He told the court that he and his confederates had loaded the safe of the bottling company on an auto truck and carried it out into the country and opened it. He told the judge that his trouble netted him only about $100. Eugene Burwell Given Military Funeral PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nov. 24.—Eugene Burwell, of 318 6th Ave., this city, who died at a base hospital in France, Jan. 25, 1919, was given a military burial here last week. Burwell served with the 506th Engineer Corps, and died of influenza. VOL. 11.—NO. 48 I MU COVERS CRUELTY MISRULE lain, Complaints Suppressed.

The President of the island republic ended his testimony by saying that he had long since despaired of finding relief through governmental channels, and is now appealing to the conscience of the world. Natives Testify The great difficulty attendant upon the investigations has been the reluctance on the part of the Haitians to testify to the cruelties perpetrated, on account of their fear of reprisal after the investigations. (Continued on page 5) EDWARD H. MORRIS ONCE MORE IN THE LIMELIGHT SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Nov. 24. The longest and possibly most important debate at the Constitutional Convention here last week followed an unsuccessful attempt to alter the committee's recommendation that appellate justices be appointed by the Supreme Court and not elected by the people. Atty. Edward H. Morris, colored delegate from the 3rd Chicago district was foremost among those urging that the appellate justices continue elective. "Painless Dentists" Open Side Show Notwithstanding the numerous complaints and damage suits that have been filed against them for alleged malpractice, the New York Dentists, owned and controlled by the Boston Dentists, those of segregating fame, have finally completed their "museum" side-show or whatever the scheme may be called in the heart of the Southside among black people. Gardner. "The Barker" Mr. Gardner, said to be from Texas, is the main "barker" inside the "museum." Like the circus "screamer," who tells all about the fat boy, the tattoo man and the snakes, the Wild Man from Borneo, so the shrewd Gardner tells all about the "tooth magician," sometimes called "painless dentists," and how they perform miracles in the mouths of black folks. Insult to Community The displaying of horrible pictures which are intended to frighten the average man or the ignorant and the lure of "free" dental services make this circus side show an insult to the community and makes the community feel as though it is being imposed upon and that the "painless" dentists think that every man in the community is a fool. The better thinking colored want to know why these dentists that aggregate colored people in the loop offices are making such a wild for colored patronage and also want to know why they have not put these "museums" in their loop offices and in their offices at 63rd Street, where there are fewer colored "possible" patrons. The Chicago Whip Natives Testify Insult to Community CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27th, 1920 Since Jan. 1, 1920, 50 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." 50 New York, Nov. 24.—(Special). The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, announced today the lynchings of one woman, Minnie Ivory, and two men, Alex Byrd and Willie Ivory, reported to have occurred in Douglas, Ga., on November 18, brought the total number of verified lynchings for the year 1920 up to fifty. J. L. Thomas, of Union Springs, Ala., is now in the city stopping at the residence of his son, 365 East 29th Place. Mr. Thomas is one of the heaviest land owners in Alabama. He is in Chicago because a few weeks ago he sought to defend his life against a prominent white man, a banker, lawyer and former mayor, who threatened the life of Mr. Thomas with a knife, the result of a outsided quarrel over a real estate deal. Mr. Thomas, who was riding in his buggy from the postoffice, fired twice at the white man, neither shot taking effect. However, a mob at once formed bent on taking his life, but through friends he was able to make his escape to Montgomery, where he was protected by the authorities and admitted to bail. Mr. Thomas is an interesting character, has a wife and five grown children and may eventually locate permanently in Chicago. RIOT VICTIMS RE- COVER AGAINST CITY Two of the large number of cases that have been filed against the City of Chicago by persons who sustained damage to property in the race riots of July last year, were heard on Monday last by Judge Bernard P. Barasa, of the Municipal Court. The plaintiff in one case was Mrs. Hulda Bryant, of 5818 Lafayette Avenue, who sued to recover for destruction of all her wearing apparel and certain other articles of household furniture at her former residence, 4740 Wells Street. A judgment was entered for her in the sum of $200 and costs. In the other case August Bender, the proprietor of Bender's Laundry, at 35th Street and Wabash Avenue, was the plaintiff. The evidence disclosed that on the afternoon of the 29th a mob invaded his premises and damaged his machinery and office fittings and destroyed several articles. The Court awarded him damages in the sum of $175 with costs. Attorney Clifford H. Tavernier represented the plaintiff in each case. JURY SAYS "GUILTY" IN ORDER TO GET HOLIDAY ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 24.—Charles Harris, who has been confined in the Fulton County jail here since June 1, 1919, has been granted a new trial by the supreme court on extraordinary motion by his attorney. In his plea for a new trial Harris' attorney alleged that Harris' case was given to the jury on Friday night, and that on the following Sunday the jury was unable to agree, and asked that they be allowed to go home. The judge refused to allow the jury to go home for Sunday and had them locked in until they arrived at a verdict. Becoming angered at this order four minutes later, the jury returned a verdict of guilty in minutes. The supreme court held that the trial judge erred in not granting a new trial on these facts. Harris is alleged to have shot and killed George Pierce, a wealthy farmer, on whose farm Harris was a tenant, in April, 1919. Harris then fled from the scene and was later captured in Paris, Ky. SOCIETY WOMAN GRANTED DIVORCE Mrs. Mamie Richie I. & R. Beaten At Basic Law Meet Decisive Vote Nips Danger of Discriminatory Legislation At Springfield Chicago's divorce court ground out another blow to the marriage vows this week in the form of complete separation to Mrs. Mamie Richie, 11 E. 38th Street, who was given freedom from her husband, Dr. Wm. F. Richie, 4301 S. State Street. It will be remembered that the marital difficulties of the Richie's received a sensational airing last summer when it was revealed that the en- I. & R. Beaten At Decisive Vote Nips Dan Legislation A Harris Campbell Is Slain By Bandits An untimely visit to the saloon of Henry Cohen, 3546 State Street, proved fatal to Harris Campbell, age 70, a watchman for several years at the drug store of Rankin & White, 30th and State Street, when he was shot and almost instantly killed by one of three holdup men who fled after the shooting, at 8:30 P. M., Monday night. Two holdup men entered the saloon, ordering all to throw up their hands. Campbell started to run from the place, not knowing that a third man was at the door. Campbell was shot near the heart and died almost immediately. The bandits made good their escape. The inquest was held at King's Undertaking establishmen at 10:00 A. M. Tuesday morning and was continued until December 6th. PORO COLLEGE DEDICATES NEW BUILDING ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 17—The dedication of the new Annex to The Poro College here takes place the latter part of this week beginning Wednesday and lasting through Saturday. The completion of this plant at a cost of $15,000.00, inclusive of the most up-to-date equipment, brings the cost of the entire plant of the Poro College up to $350,000.00 and represents the finest institution of its kind in the country. From a very humble beginning through all of the difficulties which attend any constructive effort, Mr. and Mrs. Malone have labored to bring (Continued on page 5) terprising young South Side dentist had obtained a secret decree in Texas, while his whereabouts were shrouded in mystery to his wife. This decree was held invalid in Chicago courts. Mrs. Richie retained the services of Attorney Richard E. Westbrooks, of the firm of Ellis & Westbrooks, who secured separation for her with appropriate alimony. Basic Law Meet Manager of Discriminatory At Springfield SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Nov. 24.—Sitting in solemn session in the capital city of the state made famous by Abraham Lincoln, almost under the shadow of the statue of the immortal librator, the Constitutional Convention, elected by the people of the state of Illinois to submit a new basic law for public approval, overwhelmingly defeated the proposed Initiative, Referendum and Recall, by a vote of 62 to 20, here yesterday. Carey Casts First Vote It is significant that Bishop A. J. Carey, of Chicago, cast the first vote in the avalanche of ballots which forever snowed under the iniquitous proposition which might finally culminate in discriminatory legislation for the colored race in Illinois. A Crisis Passed In a telegram to the CHICAGO WHIP, Bishop Carey stated that a crisis had been safely passed, and that the elimination of the pernicious Initiative together with the encouachment into the new constitution of the Civil Rights proposals sponsored by Atty. Edw. H, Morris, would keep Lincoln's state in the column of those safe for Democracy. The opponents of the Initiative point out that under its provisions race-hating demagogues would be able to initiate all sorts of discriminatory legislation, including separate schools, cars, theatres, and residential districts. Such legislation, it is admitted, could easily be initiated in localities where race friction might be capitalized by unscrupulous politicians for personal and selfish purposes. It is claimed that already a movement is under way in Chicago to force a separate school law in case the I. & R, had been successful. Yesterday's vote dispels all possibility of such a contingency. EIGHT PAGES S PRO ToAsk Jack Johnson's Release Topeka, Kas., November 24. — Atty. Elisha Scott, of this city, left Topeka Thursday night for Washington, to ask the Federal Pardon Board for the release of Jack Johnson, former heavyweight pugilist, from the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kas. It is said that Johnson's attorney will promise that Johnson will pay his $1000 fine immediately if a pardon is granted. Atty. Scott will also point out that Johnson's trial and later imprisonment was prejudiced. Johnson has served two months of a sentence of a pear and a day for violation of the Mann Act. GARVEYITES IN RIOT AT CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE The English House of Commons not the only place where fist fights are staged. Colored men fight and disagree over public issues the same as their English and Irish brothers. So it happened in the Philadelphia Branch of The Universal Negro Improvement Association. Over 2,000 members of the Mr. Garvey's movement had assembled themselves in Metropolitan Hall for the purpose of electing officers. Local jealousies and personal ambitions threw the otherwise orderly meeting into an uproar and it was necessary to call three wagon loads of policemen in order to maintain order. Garvey There Although the father of the movement was present at this meeting the uproar did not subside at his command. He was able to do more than the police yet he was not able to prevent clashes which called into play the use of fists, revolvers, sticks and stones. The results of these combats at various points in the hall showed that several were injured by blows and one woman was shot by one of the wild shots of some of the enthusiastic supporters of certain candidates. Second Clash of the Branch This is the second clash that has racked the very life of the Branch and considerable ill feeling has been existing between the two factions of the Branch, each striving for the supremacy and direction of the affairs of the organization in Philadelphia. Mr. Garvey hoped to adjust all of the differences before leaving Philadelphia. Have We A New Sex Problem Here? Sherman Robinson, 3521 Wabash Ave, was the complainant in one of the most peculiar divorce cases to yet he heard in Chicago, when last week he asked complete divorce from his wife, Ida May Robinson, on the grounds that she had forsaken him to run away with another woman. Robinson married at Metropolis, Ill, in November, 1910, and lived with his wife in marital peace and harmony until September, 1916, when she left him without any cause with a girl she had formerly known in Paducah, Ky. J. H. Mobley, 3007 State Street, testified that Mrs. Robinson came to him and requested a room for her girl friend, which she and Mrs. Robinson occupied. Judge Sabbath granted the decree. ESCAPES ELECTRIC CHAIR NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 24. Governor Roberts has announced that he will commute the death sentence of Will Washington, sentenced to die in the electric chair for the murder of Oscar Carlson in Chattanooga, to life imprisonment. The commutation was recommended to Governor Roberts by the state pardoning board. Washington is said to have killed Carlson, a Swedish recluse, and reputed to be a member of the Swedish nobility in the mountains of Chattanooga last summer. OVED NAME OWNER OF DEFENDER FOR POST Say Founder and Owner of Greatest News Medium Is Entitled to Honor Service To Party and Race Should Outweigh Politics It has become an established fact that the position of Registrar of United States Treasury is one of the few political awards that a Negro is permitted in this country. It is the faint and fragile tribute that is paid to the Negro citizenry of America and soon, according to expectations and promises, a dark-skinned American will again occupy this exalted position. The race upon which that honor is indirectly conferred, should in one voice recommend the worthy individual upon whom it should be bestowed. Robert S. Abbott, Editor and Founder of The Chicago Defender, is without a doubt a well-qualified and deserving representative to be seriously considered. Founder of Great Institution With the odds overwhelming against him, Mr. Abbott with unparalleled courage, founded and nursed into robust existence the greatest newspaper institution that the race has produced. Suffering untold hardships and privations that today The Chicago Defender, the offspring of his mentality is the most complete and comprehensive newspaper published by Negroes. This great institution has carried the message of Negro activities over the continent with such dexterity that today it stands without a peer as "the world's greatest weekly." This is the achievement of Robert S. Abbott and upon this service to humanity and his race his fitness is predicated for Registrar of Treasury. Will Receive WHIP'S Endorsement All influences that are pertinent to THE CHICAGO WHIP will be exerted towards the unqualified endorsement of this man. The editors state that while they differ with some of the policies and measures of The Chicago Defender and have attempted to take issue with them, they believe that friction between men's goods will evolve truth in the end and they are not forgetful of intrinsic merit and real worth. It is well conceded that The Chicago Defender under the guidance of Mr. Robert S. Abbott has done more to awaken dormant race consciousness than any other one force and for this reason if for none other, Robert S. Abbott should be the recipient of the highest honor his race can effect. North Should Be Recognized For good and sufficient reasons, the South should no longer dominate in holding leading political positions allotted to members of our race. These appointments should be made out of consideration of actual contribution of influence and ballots. It is believed that the journalistic world will join us in urging the name of Mr. Robert S. Abbott for this post of honor. Officers and Members of Bethel Issue Statement The recent split in the membership of Bethel A. M. E. Church and the subsequent spread of stories and rumors regarding the affair has misled the general public, according to statements made by officers and members of the mother church. In consequence, the officials of the church have issued the following signed statement setting forth Bethel's side of the affair: The revolt of a number of members of Bethel A. M. E. church, Sept. 30, 1920, and the false statements widely circulated by some of the secenders and the silence of the officers and loyal members of Bethel church, failing to reply to any of the published and personal reports freely circulated has caused many of the citizens of Chicago and friends of Bethel church to believe that the reports circulated are true. (Continued on page 8) UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP EDITOR. Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures. In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. One of the gentlemen of social research fame points out that more murders have occurred in Chicago in the last year than occurred in England, Scotland and Wales. This is not information of enlightenment to us. It does occur to us that the statistics of the year's lynchings will loom up in threatening proximity to the murders committed in the United Kingdom during the last year. Many newspaper writers are confusing Santo Domingo with Haiti. Two-thirds of the island lying next to Cuba is known as Santo Domingo and one-third is known as Haiti. Most of the rulers have been of Santo Domingan birth, and it is more fitting for scribes to refer to the island as Santo Domingo rather than Haiti. Snivelling, scraping un-informed men of our race are forcing dirty newspapers upon the public in Chicago. The Blind cannot lead the blind, neither can grafting, bribing idiots exploit the people forever. When nuisances become public the authorities abate them in the interests of humanity. Some filthy scurrilous sheets in the windy city should be abated and the editors thrown in jail. It is not necessary to mention them by their appellation because they are known. The South is now yelling that the League of Nations is not dead. This same rebellious spirit, this antagonism to constituted authority is the boon of America. The South respects antebellum customs religiously, but the laws of the new day are scoffed at. Thus the mob spirit and condoned murder. * * * * * One of the Marines is accused of the murder of three of the Santo Domingans. This is the same spirit that the army and navy carried over to France in the late war. It reflects the attitude of the nation towards dark-skinned people. It is the curse of American hatred and color prejudice. 10,000 AGENTS WANTED AT ONCE! Agents Get 50% Send $1.00 For Agent's Outfit.

NOSEYS WANDERINGS changed to take him into "the bad lands" of the Stroll and he fell into step behind a typical duo, who might be known as "Grits and Gravy" because of them very tall and the other one rather short. Nosey beamed to their very animated discussion. The tall one said that a certain friend of theirs limped because one leg was longer than the other legs. The short man in loud terms contended that the man limped because one of the poor gent's legs was shorter. They went into all of the reasons and debated with much vigor. Nosey saw that they might come to blows over the difficult question and when they stopped at the corner and a great crowd gathered to hear their public debate on the very weighty question. Nosey moved on wondering if Grits and Gravy ever thought about the League of Nations, the rising tide of color, race enterprise and other problems. ON EVERY occasion and at every "whip-stitch"—no matter where Nosey goes that "socializing lawyer" is seen. He was seen last week way out on Wabash Avenue "ducking in" a tall apartment house where he had no business at all and Nosey knew he had no business there. The good lawyer was "investigating" a very interesting case so Nosey thought he would investigate it too. It was interesting alright. Nosey found out that the husband "was on the road somewhere." The lawyer's fees were being paid by this poor railroad man without his knowledge. Nosey thought that he would write a little note to the "dear" lawyer and tell him to watch out as his legs were not long enough to run very fast and he might be called upon to do some "stepping." SAUCY, IMPUDENT THING Those were the words Nosey heard in a cabaret by the "lady of many divorces" and many interesting "affairs." She was admonishing a waiter who had handed her a card which had been "cased" to her after passing through many hauls from some "prominent" pale faced gentleman who was doing the southside for excitement. She saw the little game going on and moved his seat over to the table with "Underworld Ike" Ike is a prominent guy in the land of Population Hoach. Ike suggested that Nosey make a couple of "hooch parlor" with him and they did. And so behold. The first person they saw at the first "hooch parlor" was the lady who had cried in indignant tones. "The saney impudent thing." With her was the fat red-faced gentleman who had slipped her the card. Nosey found out what was on that card but Nosey never was good at figures. EVERY TIME Nosey sees the feet and movements of some of the minions of the law, he no longer marvels at the great amount of gun play that is present at some of the arrests made by the police. Nosey followed one of these officers the other day and watched his movements. His feet were like any waiter's feet. He could hardly move along, and resembled some one pushing a wheedlebarrow. A friend of his called him from behind and it took him 50 seconds to stop and turn around on his wandering feet and salute his friend. Nosey had a mental picture of this "athletic" figure in hot pursuit of a criminal. An elephant after a rabbit is the nearest comparison that could come to his mind. Physical test for the minions of the law would be a good thing for the public but many of the officers would have to try to get a night watchman's job. YOU SHOULD have seen the poor ignorant individuals who "fell" for the "marker's" sweet tones at the New York Dentist's side show that they have opened in connection with their "painless" parlors. One fast-talking individual shows all the horrible pictures he can find of the terrible diseases of the mouth to the assembled crowd of idlers who are looking for a "free show" and another pulls a tooth from a subject in a chair and then the "silver" tongue Mr. Gardiner comes forward and offers some cards for "free" dental services if you will enter and go up the "winding stairs" to the "chambers" above. The tragedy of it all was that some of the poor people who saw this weird "get-rich-scheme" work took the tickets and went upstairs like the poor simps that "fall" for the quack doctor "museum stunt" which does not vary in intent much more than their other schemes which have placed many of these quack doctors behind the bars. How long, oh how long will some of us fall for street faker, the quack doctor and side shows? Barnum certainly was right. FOR SALE — 2 FLAT FRAME BUILDING AND FRAME COTTAGE. TERMS —H. J. HUG, 30 N.

Jones The Spirit of Thanksgiving is upon us and we as we pause a moment to cast an eye in retrospect we feel the greater cause for being thankful than today. We account the many blessings that it has been enoughed for, the thankfulness for the travail of the past that has brought us to this hour of appreciation. There comes a time to every individual when he is brought face to face with the "Big Gun" rests his future career—the turning point on to speak upon which future events revolve—Often the issues are presented in such guesse as to seem unimportant and of little moment at all. Such issues are true worth in the light of after events. Such an issue now confronts the men of this country to amend the federal constitution conferring full suffrage rights upon the women of this country some MEN, seem loath to or to adjust themselves to the new order of things. Many men, otherwise faithminded and progressive, are prone to "keep women in their place" and out their destinies according to their abilities; they attempt to draw a line over which "Woman shall not pass" and which in the end will certainly re-act to their own detriment. The women are conscious of their new power and propose to use it to the fullness as so recently been demonstrated but they do not so easily do so to the men—to wage a "Battle of the Sexes" as it were, but to exercise their privileges and share the responsibilities equally with them, and to be able to follow in this as you have in other things of far less consequence, you would not deliberately hurt distance in the face of God and Man nor retard the march of civilization.

Dr. Eason, The American leader, spoke of the American Black line, and of solidarity of the Negroes, the first steps of independence, and how necessary it was to secure the independence of the African friar; that the hirbors needed to be independent to be independent to highways must be made into the interior of Liberia, therefore Mr. Johnston, Mayor of Monrovia, Liberia, and the highest official of the world to rally to the cause, and save and build up their Motherland. CURED HIS RUPTURE I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only complaint was that I was no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has disappeared. I was lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation. Carpenter, 201-6. Marcellus Avenue, Mnasquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured and no longer least stop the misery of rupture and the worst pain.

Actors be careful and don't be duped by over-zealous producers, who are playing every card to maintain a foothold on the theatrical soil. It is nigh time that the men who control the productive end of show business get together and understand each other. This thing of trying to break up the other fellow's show is unmanly and unprofessional and in the end will reap what they have sown. Above all things a producer should try and be a man and walk the straight path so that the little actor will take notice and do likewise. Don't be envious of the other fellow who has made a success of the same undertaking as yours, but congratulate and encourage him, not by sending special emissaries to rob him of his actors, but by giving him your hand and good wishes. There are more than one show in the world and more than one theatre and no two shows can play the same theatre at the same time, so you see after all you will have a chance to show the public what you have to offer.

DAVE PEYTON Composer, Musician, Critic The Grand The Smarter Set Company is causing a big stir in the Windy City, something unusual is it, to sell out the theatre three days in advance. Whitney and Tutt have delivered the goods with BamBoula. Of course, as in any show there are faults to be found, but in this one there are very few. The music is good, but it does not contain the melodious atmosphere that one would expect to hear from an organization, who in the past seasons have made a reputation for song hit creations. The comedy is pleasing and void of suggestiveness, and credit is due the co-stars for keeping a clean show before the public. The time has come when the old nasty burlesque comedian must get out and the work of Salem Whitney proves that by the great support given his performance in attendance. The work of Julian Costello stands out and truly he is an artist. Tiny Wilson, a prima donna with a rich soprano voice, ably sang a Rose Song to the delight of all. The opening of the show is novel and original and the balance of the stage settings are rich and beautiful. The different situations in the show are all well placed and the dazzling is grand and artistic. James Vaughn is the talented conductor of the orchestra and writer of some of the music. The Smarter Set will remain three more weeks.

"UNDER TWO FLAGS" "Under Two Flags" will be the attraction at The Avenue for the week beginning Sunday matinee, November 28th. It is a red blooded drama of love, adventure and romance, and one that is full of thrills. It is the story of Bertie Cecil, of the first Life Guards, a British regiment, who, to save the honor of a woman, flees the country in the face of a charge of forgery of which he is innocent. As Louis Victor, of the Chasseurs d'Africique, he serves under the French flag in northern Africa encountering many thrilling adventures. Here he makes an enemy of the Black Hawk, a colonel of the Chasseurs, and finds a staunch and loyal friend in Cigarette, the petite vivandier, who saves his life by throwing her body in front of his when Victor is facing the firing squad. "Under Two Flags" is a drama that you will long remember and is one in which the very capable members of the present company of Lafayette Players will be seen to good advantage.

HAITI MURDER CHARGES PROVED Continued from page 1. President D'Artigueanave of Haiti appeared before the investigating committee and charged that a member of the medical corps had become intoxicated and assaulted a Haitian court attache. Investigation proved that no punishment was meted out to the marine. Adolph Bourgot, a native, testified that an American, Deut. Lang, killed without provocation three Haitian natives at Hinche in 1917. He testified that during an attack on the military post the three Haitians were in prison. After the attack, Lang was so infuriated that he ordered the three natives marched from their cells and shot them one after the other. Bourgot was at that time an acting corporal. Lang, who was present, did not deny the charges, but demanded a white interpreter to translate the charges. Next to testify was Signon Cabot, a native boy, who swore that he was present on an occasion when Lieut. Dorecas Williams, an American, beat to death Garnier Jean, a native, with a piece of lumber the size of a man's arm. The witness asserted that he cried for aid in stopping the attack, but was unable to make himself heard, he he co-committed gravely to the murder, except the Jean was called to the lieutenant's office after a battle with the handits. A Foreigner Testifies Harris Lifschitz, a Russian, who has become naturalized, testified to having witnessed two killings of natives, but was indefinite as to the dates, places, and names. Lieut, Col, Hooker described the January attack on Port Au Prince, saving 66 natives were killed. He "The Products With A Reputation" REAL BEAUTY FOR EVERYBODY!

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL WHAT HE USES? Hear The American Leader The Most Brilliant Orator of The Present Age Continued from Page 1. In justice to the present members of the church, the officers now conducting the affairs consider it to be their duty to present a few facts relative to the schemes secretly hatched by a few men officially connected with Bethel church at the time that the revolt occurred. It is charged that Bishop L. J. Coppin, the appointing power in the Chicago conference, repeatedly snubbed Bethel church and refused to consider several petitions forwarded to him by members of the church. On the return of several of these people to Chicago from the conference, a meeting was called by a few officials of the churches located in Chicago which was held in the city on the same day. Time plans were considered to take action against the Bishop. Another meeting was held in the lodge room of the Union Masonic Temple, September 19, 2004, in response denouncing the Bishop and others whom they considered had something to do with the act of the Bishop in not considering their protest was adopted. Two other meetings were held in the city on the same day, a stepward of Bethel church who Hea The M Electe Ameri Internatio of held in New Under UNIV IMPROVEM AFR Tuesday, Nov Wednesday, N Thursday, No lear the Most Elected Le of merican N INTERNATIONAL C of Negr d in New York Under Auspice UNIVERSAL IMPROVEMENT A and the AFRICA tesday, Nov. 23rd wednesday, Nov. 24th thursday, Nov. 25th International Convention of Negroes held in New York Last August Under Auspices of the UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION and the Tuesday, Nov. 23rd Wednesday, Nov.24th Thursday, Nov. 25th AT QUINN CHAPEL ADMISSION FREE --- One of the false reports circulated was that the Bishops are paid fat salaries taken from throughout the denomination.

Another false statement being circulated is that Bishop Coppin and the members of the annual conference held in St. John Chapel, in the month of April 1919, maliciously delegates to the general conference to be held in St. Louis. W. D. Cook when electing him as all other members of the conference who desire to be a delegate, submitted claim of election to the members composing said conference among whom the number of members who elect the result resulted in defeat of Dr. Cook, as with all others excepting the seven receiving the majority vote for said position. The members rightly choose to choose their own bishops to secret ballot, which they exer- cised. Bethel church, because Rev. No. Cook was the pastor thereof, so no priests over and above the charge in the condeft defeated him in the election is absolutely false. The fact of the matter is this, the Bishop opposes the charge of Cook to bring about the results that he so much desired, that is to relieve the congested condition which has existed in Bethel church for a period of work done in Bethel church at the Evanston conference, held in 1918, also the annual conference held in Quinn Chapel, September, 1919, the open conference held in Chicago, during the past two years and urged the pastor and officers of Bethel church to take advantage of the opportunities MAIL ORDER DEPARTMENT.—We print and mail your matter the same day we receive it, provided you remit one half with your copy.

E. church throughout the connection hoped for, of becoming the strongest, most constructive and most effective of the African Methodist Episcopal denomination. Various reasons have been given by the pastor and officers in regard to their failure to meet the demands of the Bishop, members of the church, and the capacity. As evidence that the condition could have been changed by the members of Bethel is the fact that all the colored churches of the province inience in the demand and have decided to construct in work the uplift and promotion of their respective church work. Proof of this statement, we can point to Olivet Chapel, Rev. L. M. Chapel, Mary's church of our own connection, Rev. F. G. Nelson; Quinn Chapel, Rev. H. E. Stewart; Wayman church, Rev. B. U. Taylor; Hyde Park church, Rev. W. H. Griffin. Rev. Snelson, with a membership of less than hundred, Rev Griffin, with a membership of more than hundred, and standing the high cost of labor and material, built and completed two of the most beautiful churches of our connection in this city, while members of the church, tailed to do anything in remodeling the old church, buying any other church or building a new one.

Prior to the meeting of the annual conference held in Des Moines, Iowa, emanating from one of these secret meetings above mentioned, a resolution was prepared to be sent to the Bishops' Conference, returned to Bishops' Conference, notwithstanding the fact that discipline he has received his five appointments has not permit any preacher to remain on any church or station for over two years, nor shall he permit any preacher to be on a circuit or station when it becomes evident that a continuation is injurious to the prosperity of the preacher, pointed Dr. Cook at the annual conference held in Des Moines he would have exceeded the conditions except the case of an emergency which did not hold a holding appointment on account of the lack of interest manifested by the pastor and officers of Bethlehem church. The discipline also provides that any lapse in the course of petitioning the Bishop for any purpose be called by the pastor in charge and he be required such meetings held by this self-constituted committee said to speak for Bethlehem members. At the regular Sunday evening service held in Burlal church Sept. 19, 1920, this self-constituted committee read the petition which they purposed to send to the Bishop for the return of Dr. Cook, which they stated, "It is not necessary to have the approval of the church at this time, for the reason it was presented at the class meeting previously held Calls Promptly Answered GREEN R.

"A motion was then made that four delegates be appointed, two trustees and two stewards to carry this petition to the annual conference in Des Moines and present it to Bishop Coppin. This committee, it was appointed by some one, we know not whom, however, a check was made from the treasury ($100) drawn from the treasury of the trustee board and another for one hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00) was drawn from the junttee. One hundred and fifty dollars was drawn from the two treasuries to pay for the juntket of the four committeemen to Des Moines to spend one hundred and fifty dollars. The noteworthy petition. One hundred and fifty dollars would have covered all expenses of the four persons for a day's outing to present the petition to the meeting in church. On Sunday, Sept. 26th, one of the said committee reported the result of their visit to the Bishop, "the Bishop would not approve the impression would be reappointed. Better church." Mark well that they said they were left under the impression, without receiving from the Bishop any statement that he would make which would have been contrary to law. Owing to the fact that the Bishop appointed the ethel church meeting held at which time the revolt was agreed upon, which was rushed through Friday evening, Sept. 11, the church meeting they having perfected all plans to secure another place of meeting advertised the same, passed pledge cards for the memorial to all those who received to be necessary to carry out the revolt on said night was done. The officers of Bethel Church frankly say that they have no objection. Submitted and approved by the following officials of Bethel A. M. E. Church, 30th and Dearborn Streets: James H. Ricks, M. F.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS By "Full of Pep" NATIONAL NEGRO B. B. LEAGUE IN BIG MEETING The annual meeting of the National Association of Colored baseball clubs will take place in Indianapolis, Ind., on Dec. 3rd and 4th. This will be the most important gathering in base ball of all time. From all over the United States, Canada and Cuba magnates will gather to tell of their hardships during the last and previous years, and to legislate for the coming season. The controversy between the organized forces of the West and the Eastern half will be the big topic of conversation. In fact it will be no surprise to have most of the Eastern club magnates make the trip to Indianapolis to greet the Western Circuit men and get the news direct from those who are the bone and show of the game. There is almost a unanimous demand from club owners all over the country that the organized western circuit do something towards getting the game started on the right track through all parts of the United States. It is believed that through the healing of old cores, some reforms along obvious lines, and in the infusion of a new get-together spirit, much good may be accomplished. Eight cities, the best baseball bets in the most populous sections of the middle-west, have gotten together in a real league. They ask no more then they concede to any other eight cities elsewhere. They are willing to make performance the test of class and meet on equal terms any other organization that can show the goods. Ler the Indianapolis meeting answer for good or ill.

Mitchell TALLADEGA, Ala., Nov. 24.—The Tigers of Talladega College are sharpening their claws for the tangle with Tuskegee. The "bout" is staged for the Silsby Athletic Field at Talladega, Ala., Thanksgiving day. Local followers of the gridiron are expecting this to be the greatest contest of the season. Already out-of-town fans are engaging berths in the city. Talladega and Tuskegee each dedicated Atlanta University and Tallahassee, but points for games so far played places Talladega in the lead. Coach Bragg is sending his warriors through hard workouts in preparation for the game. The team is in excellent condition so the best result is expected. Talladega's Jr. Tigers dedicated the Birmingham High's in Birmingham Friday evening to a score of 20 to 0. Coach Bragg spotted out certain men in this game that perhaps will be of use to him in the Tuskegee battle. The game was played in the Rickwood Park. It is regretted that our regular aerial flying machine will not be seen in Birmingham this season. In the Southern championship pie for the season Talladega has the largest cut so far. Gridiron tans are expecting the Tigers to finish the season with "Cum Laude" honors. Watch this paper for a report of the game. WANTED agents everywhere. Make big money.

HOWARD DEFEATS HAMPTON 18-0 Charles II, Williams HAMPTON, Va., Nov. 24.—The Hampton football team, fresh from its victory over Lincoln, journeyed to Washington, accompanied by a loyal group of rooters, confident of "bringing home the bacon." The recent scores of the two teams indicated that a great struggle would be witnessed by the loyal supporters of the two teams. Only the first few minutes of the game bore out that indication. The hopes of the Hampton group were short-lived, as two touchdowns were made by Howard in the first half. "Howard met little resistance from the Hampton eleven. The playing of the "Seasiders" was a disappointment to the host of spectators, because it lacked the fighting spirit which has characterized Hampton teams in days gone by. The Hampton players appeared to be suffering from stage fright, from which they never wholly recovered. Only brief flashes of the old Hampton spirit were seen. The Howard team, however, backed by a large student body, who exhibited the most perfect cheering, played with a dash and aggressiveness that swept Hampton before them. It was mainly line-planning and end-running that netted the three touchdowns for Howard. The elusiveness of the Howard backs, aided by poor tackling, enabled them to get the first down almost at will. The game was clean played throughout. Hampton's defeat by Howard leaves only one opponent between Howard and the intercollegiate championship. Referee, G. C. Wilkinson; umpire A. K. Savoy; head linesman, Benjamin Washington.

Baro, who robbed Ruth of a sure homer, said last night that he never saw anyone hit a ball so high up. "I got nervous waiting for the ball. It went so high that it weighed a ton when I finally got it." Chacon, shortstop for the Almendares Blues, was not in the game yesterday. He was not feeling well. Young, Torrientes and other good hitters were not doing themselves justice. But now that they are all alike, make them great. Almendares, Wins Great Slug Fest-hed Almendares, Wins Great Slug Fest-hd ALMENDARES WIN BIG SLUGFEST Torriente Hero of Day, Gets Three Home Runs and Two-Bagger HAVANNA, Cuba (Special to Whip)—Almendra played the part of the doctor yesterday by administering the bitter pill of defeat to the hustles from the Empire City, before a crowd estimated at five thousand people. It was a plain case of the survival of the fittest, but the medicine was not given without a great struggle which lasted from the initial frame, for nearly two hours and a half, when the weared fans and players welcomed the last inning which came just as the big golden ball completed its circuit drive across the horizon. That contest will never be forgotten and the sore throats of the local fans will acclaim it a game in which they leasted with utmost content upon the excitement furnished by wild throws, long hits, strike outs and sensational plays. The crowd was filled intermittently by a tense air of expectancy, followed by tremendous cheering. Baseball history was made when Torriente, the center fielder of the Almendares team, known as the local Babe Ruth, broke all records on the local lot by driving three circuit drives and one two-bagger, in five times to face the pitcher. His batting was easily the best feature local followers of the great game have ever seen here, and his popularity yesterday was not even second to that of the President-elect. It was one day that Babe Ruth was forced to sit back in the shade, for the cheers that greeted the great Yankee southpaw were as ripples compared to the great out- Dr. James E.

It is a constant and repeated contention that the time is not ripe for the negro to press his claims in America for a square deal, economically, politically and socially. Reactionaries, both among blacks and whites claim that these issues are "delicate" and in consequence will not for the love of God or man look the problem of the negro squarely in the face. Many men of more tender years and firmer convictions, however, have sallied to the front and with logic seemingly sound, vow that, NOW IS THE TIME. WHY NOT NOW? If the time is not ripe for the negro to press his claims for economic salvation, then the time is not ripe for him to suffer economic starvation. The negro will starve economically in America if he is not permitted to organize the laboring element of his race. The time is ripe for all men to relieve themselves of extenuating exploitation and to share a fair profit for work and labor. If the negro is to become a desirable citizen, if he is to further serve his country successfully, NOW is the time for human working hours and living wages. NOW is the time for him to join labor organizations and to contend fearlessly for reasonable measures that other laboring groups receive. WHY NOT NOW? If the time is ripe for the negro to serve as a conscripted soldier, if the time is ripe for him to pay taxes, if the time is ripe for parties to ride into office on the back of his voting strength, WHY is it not time for him to have his own representatives. The Jews are only one-fifth as numerous as negroes in America and they receive reasonable representation. Why cannot the negro be also represented in Congress? Lynchings and insults have continued without Federal intervention to such an extent that seeds of revolution have been breeded. Why should the negro be not allowed to intermarriage? Congress in his own behalf? For almost sixty years the "plea for time" has been interjected. WHY NOT NOW? Can the debauchery and defilement of black women by white men continue forever under the subterfuge that the "time is not yet ripe to change it?" Will the "inequality of race" remain so intensified that marriage between the races will not be preferable to illegitimate offspring? Where is the valor and honor of American manhood? Can the morality of America be forever crushed on account of cringing, crouching "leaders" who are afraid to face the facts and issues. WHY NOT NOW? Why not NOW decide whether or not the laws on intermarriage are fitting to social conditions as they exist? The present age is an age of mentality.. In view of this the FACTS of life are NOT too delicate to be considered. It is, time NOW for the black and white men of America to face the facts as they are. It is time for the mutual meeting of minds. The negro can never make himself understood if he is too cowardly to present the issues as they really exist because he is under the delusion of the unfitness of the time. The Japanese, Irish, Jewish and suffragette question have not been camouflaged. Their spokesmen have presented the causes as well as the effects. They have clearly defined their problems, positions and demands. Who knows what the conditions of negroes are when their "leaders" are afraid to tell the TRUTH and are constantly fillibustering? Who knows what the desires of the masses are and what relief they would have if pussyfooting leaders continually say, "WAIT—NOT NOW!" Time is fleeting and it is proverbially true that things should not be put off for tomorrow which can be done today. WHY NOT TAKE A MAN'S STAND NOW?

With one accord we stretch our elastic minds across the span of four hundred years and celebrate the landing of the Pilgrims. We revere the spirit that led them to these American shores. In the last twelve months the nation has undergone more serious changes than at any other period of its existence. Captained by an intellectual demagogue, manned with confederate pirates from "Dixie," the Ship of State has been exposed to many needless dangers. American men and money have been pledged to Europe without the consent of Americans. The public treasury has been robbed by "dollar patriots." Innocent citizens have been deported for no other crime than that of independent thinking. European immigrants of the "lower type" are thrust upon us in unprecedented numbers. Thus, hundreds of needless burdens have been imposed upon the public. Realizing that we are convalescing from the effects of a devastating war, it is a distinctive credit to have borne these burdens with a minimum of complaint. We have rescued the ship; we have changed captain and crew. In less than twenty-four hours sixteen million sovereign citizens sent a silent message the substance of which can easily be expressed in these simple words: "America is not a fertile place for pirates and demagogues." For this the nation is extremely thankful. The United States is composed of a heterogeneous population. It is peopled by races of different origin, traits of character and color. The fact that they have been able to successfully survive the shock of administrative blunders, economic changes, and the partisan appeals to their prejudices, without being thrown into a state of pandemonium, is a miraculous feat. Everyone should be truly thankful to have witnessed the miracle. The character of the colored American during these changes has been subjected to a test much more rigid than any of the other groups. Black men and women, who gave their labor and life to stabilize and perpetuate the nation, have been burned, lynched and disfranchised with impunity. The doors of the National Capitol are stained with their innocent blood. He has been forced to defend himself against the onslaughts of the vicious mob. Notwithstanding these flagrant injustices, we turn to the balance sheet and find that he is prospering, and we are truly thankful. The greatest barrier to his progress is rapidly being swept into the background—the ignorant and self-appointed leader. We are truly thankful that an intelligent racial consciousness has been awakened. It is everywhere apparent. This consciousness has changed a race of talkers to one of thinkers and doers. It has produced a race of careful readers. It has given us a "New Negro," a new desire to compete in the commercial sphere is stimulated. The co-operative idea is almost universal in the race. Sacrificial support of worthy institutions is not a sophistic dream any more, but an actual reality, that can be seen any day, everywhere. We shall not forget the bitter experiences of the year. We shall not, on the other hand, allow such unpleasant memories distort the product of our better judgment. Weighing the facts, we have lots for which we are thankful.

Gonorrhea is the last one of these venereal diseases that we have not discussed. At this time we wish to consider this disease and its effects in men. As has been previously said, men are more susceptible than women not only by the public but also by physicians. The average physician has not taught his patients the importance of a thorough examination of the genital tract and the discharge is not curing the disease. The disease is not cured until the microscope shows that there are no gonorrhea germs present in the urinary canal and just how many germs are cured in ten days others take from four to six weeks and in some cases a longer time. As has been said by some physicians, "The body is not a machine and God only knows when it ends." It should be impressed upon the minds of individuals suffering from gonorrhea first to refrain from sexual interaction and secondly to refrain from drinking any alcohol or alcoholic beverages. Gonorrhea in men is of great importance. It has been estimated that about 100,000 men are infected with gonorrhea and about one-half of this number suffer from uncured gonorrhea or chronic gonorrhea. The reason that there are so many gonorrhea cases is that although at the time of infection try to treat themselves or use /some patient medicine given to them by some inexperienced drug herbalists, we remember the effect of acute gonorrhea on the supervision of a physician; not the advertising entertained in your money than in the cure of the disease, but a reputable physician who treats you as the person to be sought. If you do not neglect yourself, you can the clinic or government hospital where you can obtain treatment free. The state has gone to considerable expense in placing at your disposal a number of special places where you can obtain free treatment. The acute stages or the beginning of *zonorrhea* is seldom overlooked. It begins in man as a smarting or burning sensation when he urinates, and it becomes a charge of yellow greenish pus, and at this time the urine becomes cloudy. This is followed by frequent urinations, painful erection, sometimes chored or erection in which the bent over in an arch or to one side or another. It is at during this stage that individuals should not have intercourse with anyone and also drink alcoholic beverages. It is in this stage that the best cure is thorough cure and prevent the complications THE CHICAGO WHIP are truly thankful that an intelligent skened.

We shall such unpleasant memories distort the Weighing the facts, we have lots of gonorrhea from rising. The complications of gonorrhea are many. Those that are of great importance—loss of manhood sterility and untreated infections of untreated cases of gonorrhea. So often in my general practice I have old men coming into the office saying that they have lost their husbands and are not sure they use to be. On obtaining their history and examining them I find that they have at some time suffered with gonorrhea and were not properly cured. On curing them of the gonorrhea their manhood soon returned. Oft times so many families desire children on the basis of marriage wife and the wife blames business because they do not have children. Often times the unfortunate wife is subjected to an operation with the hope of bearing children and indeed it is the case that the husband has made him sterile but in the majority of cases it is due to the past that the husband had during his younger days of gonorrhea and it has made him sterile. To the man let me advise you not to always blame your wife because you have no children, may be may be within yourself. I conclude. I will not argue against the prostitute because the miserable business of prostitution rapidly spreads this disease. Also if you are to be so unfortunate you seek good advice and follow it implicitly. HOLD YOUR JOB SAYS URBAN LEAGUE HOLD YOUR JOB SAYS URBAN LEAGUE Fearing widespread mempayment of colored men and women in Chicago, the Urban League of that city is issuing a weekly bulletin, setting forth the labor conditions as reflected by the work of its industrial department. The following significant statements are taken from the League's first bulletin: "The Chicago Urban League is feeling the greatest slump in its employment service that it has experienced during its four years work in our city. Out of 1,073 persons seeking employment during the week of November 14th only 127 were placed in positions. Although 678 men registered for work, the League was successful in placing only 40. While the total attendance was 1,073, it is believed by the officials of the organization that fully 500 more persons were unable to register because of the inability of the workers to interview any more than this number during the week. "The League is sending out a general warning to all workers to stick to their jobs, in reminding men and women that this is routine for change, a bulletin of the League states that "Out of telephone calls to 27 plants on one morning, only 4 jobs were obtained. These were reluctantly given the League for "Old Time's sake," and not be the model for the new generation. Several plants there were more than 200 men outside of the gates looking for employment. At 300 in唐朝 morning there were 130 people in the agency office with only seven openings of the most mental sort listed. This is no time to change jobs. Wages are being reduced in certain plants, and the work forces of old were atalement unintentionally decreased. One plant that had been hiring some six or eight hundred colored men will be closed from Wednesday of this week until Monday of next week." Read The Whip AGO DENTISTS Offices. 3613 So.

How long will it take one who has already graduated in the legal profession, that is, completed a three years' study, to read the Illinois Statutes in order to pass the Bar Examination? M. M. T. PRESIDENT Reading the II. ilinois Statutes is not a requisite for the successful passing of the Illinois State Bar Examination. How long it would take one to read the Revised Statutes depends on how fast that person could read. It is rather a lengthy volume. My husband has just left Illinois, having been sued by me for a divorce and my lawyer had the Court to order him to pay me alimony. He says that I can not get it now because he has gone out of the state, is this true? He told me he was going before he went, and I told my lawyer so. Could he stop him? Jessie. Yes, he could have had process served upon your husband that would have kept him in Illinois, and had he disobeyed the order of the court by leaving the jurisdiction would have been brought back, for that would have been contempt of Court. Now that he is gone, I am afraid you have little hope of doing anything until he returns to this state. My husband has been acting very queer of late, and I think that he is losing his mind. He has been very cruel at different times, and I would like to get a divorce from him, but I am afraid. Can I have him put in an asylum if he is insane? L. E. Yes, have him examined at the Psychopathic Hospital, and if there is an insanity, he will be restrained and placed in the proper institution after observation there. But, if he is adjudged insane, you cannot under any circumstances obtain your divorce unless you prove that he was insane at the time you married him. This same question was answered two weeks ago. How long can I get alimony on abandonment? L. W. If you are granted a decree of divorce in Illinois and alimony is decreed you by the chancellor or judge hearing the case, it is permanent until changed by the order of the court. All questions cheerfully answered. Address "The Whip," 3420 State All Questions of Legal Nature Cheerfully Answered Ques.—My room-mate, without my consent took my suit case out of the room and used it for three weeks and inconvenienced me to an appreciable extent. What remedy have I? Ans. — Your room-mate has converted your suit case and you may bring action against him in court and recover for full damages, the theory of the Ans. — Your room-mate has converted your suit case and you may bring action against him in court and recover for full damages, the theory of the law being that the deprivation of your legal property has been of such a nature as to entirely inconvenience you. Ques.—I sent my porter to the bank with $150.00 which I instructed him to deposit. Porter was inveigled into a game of chance and lost the money. Ans.—The porter can be indicted for embezzlement. If you feel so disposed, have a warrant sworn out for his arrest. Ques.—I was riding on the front platform of a street car and the fuse blew out making a great noise. I was deadened by the noise. Doctor says I shall probably be deaf the rest of my life. I noticed a sign on the front of the platform which forbids passengers to ride on the platform. Will this prevent me from recovering damages? Ans.—You can recover even though the sign does appear as stated, as the proximate cause of your accident was the blast from the fuse box and the defect was on the property of the street car company. You should consult a lawyer and have him bring suit. Ques.—During the war I was played by the government as a civilian agent. Upon leaving for France I was compelled to wear the uniform and to observe military discipline. Under these circumstances will I be entitled to a bonus if any is given the soldiers. Ans.—It is a part of the military law that all civilian employees may be forced to wear the uniform when on duty with troops and may in time of war to observe military discipline. There is another clause which provides that in an emergency a civilian employee may be sworn into the military service as a soldier. If you were inducted into the service under such circumstances, you will be entitled to any bonus given. If however, you were only compelled to abide by the law as applicable to all civilian employees, you will not be entitled to any ABOUT THE BRAZI LIAN COLONIZA TION PLAN Perhaps one of the greatest movements ever organized in America is the organization being formed in Chicago, Illinois, known as the Brazilian American Colonization Syndicate. This Syndicate is being organized for the purpose of giving the American of color an opportunity to purchase fertile soil in a prosperous country where there are no discriminatory laws, where the colored man's future progress will not be impeded and he can reach any political and economic position that any other citizen can obtain. The Syndicate is planning to take five hundred families to the state of Motto Grosso, Brazil. Their first colony will be located within a few miles of Cuyuba, the capital of the state of Motto Grosso, Cuyuba has a population of 30,000. At present its connection with the outside world is by river transportation to Corumba, which in turn, is connected by railroad to Santos, a seaport. This will make it possible to quickly ship their crops to market. The land will sell for about five dollars per acre. There is about 2½ acres in each hectare. Each settler must buy one hundred hectares which will cost $1,250. His first payment will be $417, which must be paid before he leaves the United States. This land is located on the highlands of Brazil, is slightly rolling, partly timbered, well watered with abundance of grazing grass. The climate is ideal with an average temperature the year round of 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Their plan is to leave with their first settlers June 1, 1921. They are anxious to obtain experienced farmers, cotton and tobacco growers, veterinary surgeons, carpenters, brick masons, blacksmiths, wagon and harness makers, stationary engineers, men who have had experience in sugar refineries, saw mills, tanneries and the handling of cotton gins, also graduates from agricultural schools.
