BLACK MEN PEONS IN GEORGIA, SAYS FUGITIVE Whipped and Forced to Work in Cotton Fields CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Jan. 5.—A startling story of peonage in the Georgia town of Monticello with colored men in the cotton fields whipped by overseers armed with guns, is the story told by Will Thomas, who escaped at night, walking twenty-five miles to escape the virtual slavery which, according to his account, prevails in Monticello. Worked Under Whip Thomas said that he had been in ministerial work on Sundays at Monticello. He said he was forced to pick from 500 to 600 pounds of cotton daily at the point of a gun or crack of a whip. At Monticello the plantation owners have from five to twenty-five families on their places. Twenty-five families necessitate the employment of five overseers constantly armed with guns, whips and clubs which were used unsparingly on the colored victims, according to Thomas. Guarded in Church Thomas further stated that the colored people knew absolutely nothing of freedom within the radius of twenty-five miles of Monticello. He said they were guarded in their church worship at times; driven by guns to work by day, and intimidated by mobs at night when they were locked up for safekeeping, until 3 o'clock in the morning, when they were aroused to go to work. The wives and children, too, must work by their husbands on the owner's plantations, said Thomas. Children, Thomas said, are allowed to go to school until they are twelve, when they are taken out and forced to work.

III.—NO. 2 BULLET AIMED FOR HUSBAND HITS BROTHER BULLET AIMED FOR HUSBAND HITS BROTHER Jealous Woman Makes Fatal Mistake, Kills Brother While the rest of Chicago was bidding farewell to a year of hard times and joyously celebrating the advent of the new with its promises of better things, Mrs. Beatrice Jordan was nursing in her breast the fierce and burning resentment of a wronged woman. At a time when she felt that her husband should, of all things, have been with her she had reason to believe that he was celebrating New Year's eve with another. According to a story told the police, she went to 3360 Forest avenue seeking him, but her repeated knocks at the door failed to gain entrance for her. In her desperation at failure to gain entrance, she produced a revolver and fired through the door. Shoots Brother By Mistake To her surprise, her young brother, Dennis Cobb, age 18, fell dead on the other side of the door, pierced by the bullet fired from her revolver. New Year's morning dawned to find her nursing not only the ashes of her husband's lost love, but also the body of her brother, whom she had slain by mistake. The inquest, which was set for Jan. 4 at the Stanton avenue station, has been postponed to Jan. 6.

It was a cold day, and Paul had a small coal fire burning. The politeness seeker asked Paul for a little warmth from the corner fire, and received such a polite reception that the little newsie was awarded the $50 prize for politeness. Paul says he will take the money and go back to school with it FIVE ESCAPE FROM LOUISIANA JAIL ALEXANDRIA, La., Jan. 5—Five vice made a spectacular escape from jail here Wednesday by digging the brick out of, the wall and making an opening sufficient to crawl through.

Alfred Love, a dining car waiter, 3807 Rhodes Ave., feeling a little lonely, procured a pint of wood alcohol, and in company with Mrs. Lucille Payne, of the same address, his landlady, the two attempted to drown their 'blues' in the poisonous depths of the deadly wood alcohol. The party occurred on the night of Dec. 29, and they are still alive. Furthermore, doctors say they will get well. under the same conditions as their fathers and mothers.

CLEO WEIR ACQUITTED Cleo Weir, who sensationally shot and killed Bob Anderson, Nov. 13, was acquitted in Judge Sullivan's branch of the Criminal Court Monday afternoon. The case did not go to the jury, as the State's attorney felt that the Weir woman's plea of self-defense was so strong that a jury trial was unnecessary. Miss Weir was represented by Attorney G. W.

The wedding CH DEPUTIES FLAY MERICAN IMPERIALISM PARIS, Dec. 30 (Delayed)—In the Chamber of Deputies today, foreign correspondents had an opportunity to see what official France thinks of America's sham of democracy. In a debate on Algeria Deputy Andre Barthon said he regretted that President Wilson's program for universal brotherhood had not been carried out. Deputy Molinie answered with the explanation that the rest of the world doubted American sincerity. Said Molinie, "He ought to have commenced by regulating the race question in the United States. There is no such question among the French." "There is in America also a certain imperialism," M. Berthon replied. "I was shocked during the war at seeing American officers refuse to salute black officers who were fighting in the same cause for civilization and justice." ANOTHER JAILER SURREN- DERS KEYS TO LYNCHERS JONESBORO, Ark., Jan. 5.—Upon assurances that unless he surrendered the keys to the jail, the mob would batter the doors down, Jailer Tom Carter, of this city surrendered his keys to the leaders of a mob which entered the jail and took Wade Thomas and lynched him, late last week. The murdered man was marched down the main street of the city, hanged to a telegraph pole and his body riddled with bullets. Wade was charged with killing a policeman. WOULD NOT BE PHOTOGRAPHED WITH NEGROES WOULD NOT BE PHOTOGRAPHED WITH NEGROES Southern Members of Congress Flee Cameraman Attempting to Take Picture. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 5.—Declaring that he would "raise hell" if any attempt was made to photograph the House census committee investigating the Florida election riots, Rep. Larsen, democrat, of Georgia, refused to remain in his seat when photographers made preparations to photograph the scene, which included several colored men. Rep. Aswell left the room in haste when he saw the camera eye focused on him with several colored men in the background. Southern members of the committee took issue with the witnesses, and one of them, Representative Bee (dem.) of Texas, declared he was "tired" of states being "insulted" on the strength of hear-say evidence. One of the spectators insisted on getting into the discussion and Chairman Siegel finally told him that if he did not sit down he would have to leave the room. Declaring there was nothing in the law of the southern states, discriminating against Negro voters, representatives from those states suggested that the spokesmen of the association take their complaints of alleged discriminations against the Negroes to the courts rather than congress. Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the association, presented what he said were affidavits from 941 Negroes in Jacksonville, Fla., who alleged they were deprived of the right to vote in the November elections. He also said affidavits were being gathered from 4000 other Negroes of that city who stood in line all day election day without getting to vote, although all were qualified. On the Saturday night preceding the election he charged that 1,000 members of the Ku Klux Klan paraded the streets of Jacksonville in an effort to frighten the Negroes into keeping away from the polls. He also alleged that a Negro killed in an election riot in Orange county, Fla., was a qualified voter. The allegations as to the Jacksonville occurrence had been turned over to the department of justice, he said. UNIDENTIFIED BOY IS FOUND DEAD UNIDENTIFIED BOY IS FOUND DEAD Police of the 35th Precinct found the dead body of an unidentified male child early January 3 in the vacant lot at 3523 Michigan avenue.

Leavenworth. The proposed contract is for two years. It is said that Jack indicated he would sign the contract if it appeared to be "worth while." DEATH PENALTY IN 'ABYSSINIAN' CASE IS ASKED Echoes of the "Abyssinian" outburst of June 20, last, were awakened when Assistant State's Attorney Daniels asked the death penalty for Grover C. Redding and Oscar McGavic, the two alleged ring-leaders in the affair. Others on trial for participation in the outburst which resulted in the death of two white men at 35th street and Indiana avenue. Grover Redding are: Anderson McGavic, Sam Tapp, Henry Lee, Edward Rush, James Briggs, Dennis Brown and Allan Willis. The defendants are on trial before Judge Kersten, of the Criminal Court. Excitement bordering on a race riot prevailed throughout the city, when two white men were killed in an alleged attempt to prevent the burning of an American flag by fanatical enthusiasts who styled themselves "Abyssinians." BANDIT SHOOTS VICTIM WHO SLIPS AND FALLS Unwilling to attract attention of passersby, a lone bandit forced John Brown, 3360 Prairie avenue, and Miss Ella Brown, 3845 Calmet avenue, into the vacant lot at 36th street and Forest avenue on New Year's eve night. Brown, in a tussle with the bandit, attempted to snatch his revolver from him, and slipped and fell to the ground. While lying prostrate the bandit fired one shot into his body, fracturing Brown's right thigh. The bandit then escaped.

FORGER SMELLS A RAT AND LEAVES SHREVEPORT, La., Jan. 5—Lee Brimmer, of this city appeared at the windows of the Continental Bank with a check which appeared to be duly signed and endorsed.

SENTENCED TO CHAIR MADISONVILLE, Ky., Jan. 5—Lee Ellison was found guilty of the murder of Sheriff Scott Hunter, of Hopkins County, Nov. 5, and sentenced to die Jan. 31, in the electric chair.

Mays, who is stated to be one of the organizers of the Railway Men's International Benevolent Association, is becoming ambitious. He is seeking to become director of the bureau of Negro Economics in the United States, a political job which he hopes to be given thru the supposed influence of his Friend Henry Lincoln Johnson. From what we have been able to learn Mr. Mays is not prepared from a standpoint of training to fill this position. Let him remain where he is and stay out of political deals and his organization will make great progress. The Illinois Conservator is an example of careless uninformed journalism. The Chicago Tribune some time ago printed an editorial under the caption of "Will Dempsey Fight the Smoke." This editorial was an insidious affair full of race hate and false arguments about the inferiority of the black man. The Editor of the Conservator reprinted the editorial as his own, failing to give the Tribune credit, and from all intentions and purposes thought it was a compliment to the black people. A case of the Blind attempting to lead the Blind. Fifty-four of us were murdered last year. Fifty-four of us gave our life's blood to appease the lynching appetite of the Southland. For the murder of the fifty-four no capital punishment has been administered and in almost every case no one has been arrested. Oh Times. Oh Manners. Rescoe Simmons, poor fellow, is having financial difficulties both with his newspaper in Saint Louis and with his real estate in Chicago. The poor fellow is likely to lose both. The Colonel may then be forced to go to work. We pray for the day when his hot air battery will be silenced. It is a distinct reflection upon the black people of America to allow themselves to lose sight of the present unsatisfactory economic condition in the country at this time. During the holidays they gave themselves over entirely to festivity. Now is the time for careful consideration of the great dangers of reconstruction. The efforts of the whole race must be combined and concerted in racial uplift. UNCLE EPH UNCLE EPH SAYS: As the old year was taking its flight and the New Year being ushered into existence in its swaddling clothes, I fell asleep. While wrapped in the arms of Morphus, I had a dream. It was as though the dawn of a new day, for many things of pleasant contemplation hovered above my pillow. In my dream I saw a large concourse of pec, whose actions denoted that they intended to answer the call of a more noble purpose in the year of 1921. I saw the social satellites ostracised in our midst. I saw the business and economic condition vitalized with a new spirit, sustained by men who had pledged themselves to give a better account of their stewardship in the handling of the people's rights. I saw the circumstances of our race improved by reason of the efficient and honest methods employed by those at the helm of public affairs. I saw the churches taking their rightful place as powerful factors in the community for good by virtue of the conscientious efforts being put forth by their ministers. I saw the leaders of the race who stand in prominent places politically endeavoring to "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's" through the exercise of their respective offices in the interests of those by whose suffrage they were promoted. I saw the mothers tightening the grip of chastity upon their daughters and teaching them the beatitudes of home life and warning them against the destruction of both the medium of those "plague spots" which would in the end destroy their usefulness. I saw the passing of that type of womanhood which sets as the "charmer" in the polite parlors of entertainment to endeavor to ensure every woman of beautiful appearance in her infamous web. I saw her pass away as a thing to be despised and condemned as a most destructive element in our social existence. I saw the passing of the notorious poolrooms in which crimes are hatched and consummated and upon their runs arise a wholesome environment where young men might go for enlightenment. I saw a remarkable decrease in that type of men who live by robbing others of their hard-earned money. I saw standing at the window of one of the local banks which is largely supported by black people a black who held a responsible position and not that of a janitor. I saw shoe stores, clothing stores and department stores and even factories supported and conducted by black people. I saw doctors and lawyers who had reached the zenith of their profession given the proper support by the members of their own race. Just as I was enjoying the beauties of this dream I met a real estate man who was arranging to lower the rents. This was too much. I awoke. I snatched a medium of coffee and rushed to the office and found that I was already late. Patronize Our Advertisers WORTH $25.00 TO SPANK YOUR WIFE NOW SHIREVEPORT, "La.. Jan. 5—Eson Cage, of this city, appeared in the city court last week and asked Judge Scarborough how much he would be fined if he were arrested for wife-beating. The judge set $25.00 as the price. Cage immediately left court and went Lime, where he gave his wife a sound spanking. When arrested for disorderly conduct, he produced $25.00, and was released. At the same session, Emile Morris was fined $10.00 for only slapping his wife.

"NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL NOSEY HAS DISCOVERED two new and strange uses for the mod. new and strange bath room in these erally equipped bath room in these and beautiful apartment buildings. When Nosey was visiting one of Chicago's richer a large city in Georgia and beached a beautiful flat building, and he tripped into the tiled bath room and was amazed when he saw that the clean white bath tub was filled with hard coal. The gentleman explained that he thought that this receptacle was a clever idea as it kept the coal clean. Nosey showed him how to turn on the steam in the radiator and left him shaking with fright and looking at the radiator, expecting it to "bust open" every minute. Across the hall Nosey found that this bath room was fitted up with pipes to the gas overhead and pipes to the water faucets and a huge kind of boiler with a twisted spout sitting right in the tub. A funny smell came from the whole affair as it sputtered and bubbled in a great fashion. Nosey began to feel dizzy from smelling the steam and staggered out in to the open air, marveling over the various uses an ordinary bath tub might be put to. ON NEW YEAR'S morning Nosey was creeping home in the darkness and staggered south on Wabash avenue and by the merest chance discovered the location of "The House of a Hundred Keys." It all happened because a stout gentleman of good character and reputation who lives next door was full of holiday "spirits" and mistook "The House of a Hundred Keys" for his very own, and the funny part of it all was that his key worked and he got inside, only to come out very rapidly, projected by some unseen force. Shrill female voices, however, gave him instructions not to try it again and told him that he could get the key that they had taken from him when he settled his little account with them. The "nice" gentleman went next door and entered his own home. Nosey hung around for about an hour and counted sixty-one men who came, inserted their key in Entire Family able Shoe Store REAM MOUNTING cost of all Beauty of Peculiar Creole Charm Produced Only By The Renowned La Creole Face and Hair Products THE CHICAGO WHIP the door and entered, only to come out again a few minutes later. After sixty-one Nosey started home and presumed that he had missed the other thirty-nine of the one hundred keys. Seven Keys to Baldpate has nothing on this "House of a Hundred Keys." SOME PEOPLE have strange attractions. Nosey makes his morning tour around Wabash and 22nd and in the neighborhood of 22nd and Dearborn. He continues to see ladies with their faces painted and a red blanket thrown over their shoulders carrying tiny white dogs with big red ribbons which are bigger than the dogs themselves. Nosey has never been able to find out what was the attraction for these little animals and why the ladies gave them so much care and attention. Some of these days Nosey, with his long nose, is going to find out the truth about this attraction and tell the world. EVERY NIGHT Nosey cast, his eyes up to the skies and always looks at the fire escapes of apartment houses as they often furnish interesting sights. Monday night was no exception. A man was coming down one like a cat after a mouse, only this man was after some bottles that were on the window sill of the "floor below." Some one heard him and came to the rescue of their "milk" bottles. The man hurried aloft with two bottles and one dropped, breaking in the alley running between Michigan and Wabash, near the corner of 37th street. A nice smell came from that bottle that made Nosey conclude that it was some cow that gave that milk and the prohibition law had not affected that good cow at all. The man got away and Nosey went on a still hunt for that wonderful cow that gave that nice smelling milk, ever though it had a brown color. Nosey knows that the cow is a high brown alright. YOU HAVE seen these gentlemen going through the street with brief cases, looking very wise and in most cases feeling otherwise. Well Nosey had a chance to look in a few of those nice leather brief cases and they showed everything but legal papers or business matters. One brief case showed a soiled deck of cards, curiously marked and a "dead man." Another revealed a pair of dice and some rather "violent" love letters that made even the hardened Nosey blush and yet another was found filled with, dainty ladies' apparel—too dainty to mention. Nosey concluded that every brief case is not the sign of a lawyer and also that every lawyer does not always carry legal papers in those little brief cases, and above all, there is always "much business" when that bag pokes out. OVERLOOKS MONEY, TAKES GROCERIES SHREVEPORT, La., Jan. 5—James Dickson, of this city, certainly must have been a hungry man when he broke into the Monzingo Grocery Company's store at Western Ave., and Spring St. He scorned a large amount of money in the cash drawer, and was helping himself to large quantities of catables and cigarettes when discovered in the act and arrested.

The government charges that she defrauded several men by inserting in papers advertisements purporting to be coming from a white girl, and sent a picture of a white woman to prospective wooers. The next letter followed with a request for money for railroad fare. It is alleged that when this was forthcoming, Mrs. Burlington would send a picture of herself, and when her wooers hesitated in marrying her, she then threatened a suit for breach of promise. She was convicted of using the mails to defraud, and sentenced to serve three years in the federal penitentiary and pay a $2,000 fine.

"DAWN O' THE MOUNTAINS" By De Witt Newing Dawn MacNair, parentless child of the Kentucky mountains near the Virginia line, untutored, but beautiful in her innocence, is the central character about which the beautiful drama of real life now playing at the Avenue is built. Her parents lost her through that evil of that section—the feud, she grew to young girlhood under the loving care of her grandfather, Buck MacNair. Came one day into those mountains a stranger, and the news traveled quickly, for to the mountaineers a stranger nine times out of every ten meant a revenue officer on the trail of an illicit still, but this stranger Bob Blake, came on peaceful pursuits, the purchase of valuable coal lands in the possession of Dawn's grandfather. After much persuasion the deal is closed, but not until after much effort by word of mouth on the part of Jed MacNair who is determined to prevent it. Jed, being Dawn's cousin and in love with her, is jealous of Blake's attentions to her, and becomes Blake's bitter enemy. For his own purposes he reopens the mountain war, which had been closed through a truce made by Buck MacNair with Jim Bolton for their respective clans, by killing Cal Bolton, the sweetheart of Sally MacNair, Jed's sister. In the bitter feud which followed Buck Mare Nair pays the price with his life, being mistaken for Bob Blake whom Jed had also sworn to kill. Jed flees the interval which follows, we find Dawn and Sally away at College or rather a Girl's Finishing school, and Bob Blake, Shim Tooker and Billy Meiggs running the old homestead which has now become a busy coal mine. Jim Bolton, now a millionaire through owning valuable coal lands, is the volunteer watchman for the company's property, keeping ever on the look out for Jed's return. Dawn and Sally return to find their soumates in Bob and Billy respectively, and Jed returns to land in the clutches of Jim Bolton, whom Shim Tooker has difficulty in persuading to surrender to the law instead of killing him first and then turning him over. Characters—Dawn—played by Miss Ellis—very excellent portrayal—lead Sally—played by Alice Gorgas—very good character—Bob MacNair—played by Ethel Pope—good portrayal of a boy—Buck MacNair—played by J.

"MADAME PEACOCK" At the States Theatre, Thursday and Friday, Jan. 6-7, featuring Nazimovia. The drama of a woman for whom the love of a man was not enough. A startling drama of the stage—wherein love and the lure of fame clash—and love loses. And then the gorgeous stage celebrity found but chill contentment in the achievement of a great success. The story of a woman who left a husband because he was a failure, and her child because she did not care. "THE PALACE OF DARKENED WINDOWS" "THE PALACE OF DARKENED WINDOWS" At the States Theatre, Saturday, Jan. 8, featuring Clair Anderson. With Clair Anderson, Christine Mayo and a big cast. What happened to a pretty girl who ventured into a Rajah's harem. She—a little American girl of the "flapper" type—beautiful, wealthy and fond of adventure. He—scheming, unsuprulpulous product of the Orient—hypnotic in manner and appearance. He was the spider—she the unsuspecting fly. The entangling web was the caliph's "Palace of Darkened Windows."

"HELIOTROPE" At the Vendome Theatre, Thursday Friday and Saturday, Jan. 6-7-8, featuring Wilfred and Julia Swayne Gordon. A gift of flowers from her husband. And their perfume froze her soul. From now she knew that "Heliotrope Harry," the perfumed crook in cell 58 was free. Out of prison to save his daughter's happiness. Out to wreak vengeance on this inhuman black-mail ing mother. Yet he never lifted a hand against her. His victory was far more terrible —far more noble—than that. As "Humoresque" showed to the world the heart of a mother, so "Heliotrope" stands as the greatest story of father love ever filmed. "GIRL WHO CAME BACK" Next week's attraction at The Avenue is an interesting bill and a good vehicle for the histrionic talents of the present company of Lafayette Players now playing there. "The Girl Who Came Back" is the story of an innocent girl who went to prison to save her father from being sentenced for the crime he really committed, and her game fight for recognition after her release. There is a delightful love story running throughout the play which will make you want to get every line of this charming drama. When the final curtain has been rung down and the girl has come into her own you will go your way praising her gameness, and congratulating yourself for having come out to see a really good play. In the cast will be seen Evelyn Ellis, Arthur Simmons, Susie Sutton, Charles Olden, Alice Gorgas, Francis Mores, Ethel Pope, George Allen, A. B. DeComathire and Richard Gregg.

THE CHICAGO WHIP AGI PUBLIC MORAL AND PUBLIC Music Notes It is not possible to play or sing the works of one composer in the same manner as one would render the works by another composer, for composers vary as much or more in their individual tastes and desires as the musicians who attempt to interpret the composition. Bach cannot be played as one would play Chopin, nor can the songs of Shubert be sung with the same spirit or interpretation as those of Chadwick or Burleigh. A special interpretation must be given to the works of each composer and special study of the lives of the composers must be made in order to give interpretations that are to any degree correct or worth while. Style and tradition have great influence on interpretation and so have the notation expression marks, etc. But even an understanding of these things is not enough to insure the best and truest rendition. The performer must know the life of the composer—he must be able to read between the lines of the printed music. He must faithfully picure through it, though it must be further and addition to these things he must put into execution the stamp of his own individuality. Chorus Singing Part II. That music is a democratic art is known to all who have given it any thought. It is not solely the property of the wealthy or learned, but people of all rank of society are brought together by it and share alike in its benefits. In the chorus social distinctions are forgotten and all members participate in the common uplift. This is not the least of the elements for good that chorus singing gives forth and choral singing should receive the unbiased support of all well wishers of the community, whether or not they be musicians. One of the great difficulties in the organizing of choruses is the lack of men who feel that they have time for such things. Some of them do not know the value of chorus singing and others fail to utterly understand that the time given from business life to this refreshing and wholly beneficial work would in the end more than compensate them for the time spent.

It was very descriptive and to even the uninstructed ear it was wholly acceptable and pleasing. The full orchestra was needed and used in the performance of this work and the use of the many instruments was extremely effective. Mr. Stock, as usual, demonstrated his extraordinary gifts as a conductor and the members of the orchestra ably sustained his efforts. Of the artistic work of the celebrated piano soloist—Mrs. Fanny Broomfield Zerselter—too much cannot be said in praise. Her interpretation of the Rubenstein Dumno's Concerto was brilliant, clear and powerful. Her melodic work was exceptional. So appreciative of her work was the audience that she was forced to play four encores.

PAINLESS DENTISTS NOW SINGING BLUES PAINLESS DENTISTS NOW SINGING BLUES The New York Dentist of Painful reputation, at 35th and State Streets, who only a few weeks ago spent several thousands of dollars in preparing a "museum" and a subway to lure victims into it, and who also through its gullible proprietors bulldozed the ethical dentists and newspapers of this community by saying that nothing could be done to prevent them from getting rich quick at the expense of the public are now "singing the blues" for the lack of work. Lose Trade Through Carelessness It is alleged that Dr. Tarr, the head of the general corporation which also operates the Jim Crow Dental Parlors in the Loop where colored people are segregated, is much perturbed over the fact that his assistants at the 35th Street Offices have burned the faces of his colored patients who have been induced to have X-Ray pictures taken of their teeth while under the influence of the siren voiced "barker" who lures unsuspecting and ignorant colored people into the museum. It is also said that the thoughts of facing the many big damage suits filed by colored people against them for alleged malpractice is causing him additional worry. The vigorous exposures which have been made by The Chicago Whip of the methods used by "the painless dentists" is evidently causing him to "sing the blues".

It is a pretty dream, and has been dreamed many, many times before. There is only one fault with the beautiful dream—it has never come true, and it seems impossible that it ever can come true. Greed, greed of the most pronounced and individual character, dominates too many of the men identified with boxing, and no boxing board could ever control them. For one thing, who, in each state or city, would be the members of the board, and to whom would they be responsible? How could the wolves of the game be kept out of the governing body? A few years ago, one of the best, most honorable men connected with boxing framed up a national boxing association—and in three of the cities the fellows who first responded to the call, and first proceeded to take up the BACHARACHS LOSE AS USUAL Cubans Continue to Win over Yankee Boys' Cuban Players Displace Regulars, But Can't Shake Jinx HAVANA, Cuba, Dec. 31—The Bacharach Giants losing streak continues despite the earnest effort that the few remaining players are making to stem the tide of defeat. Parpatti and Campos two former great players have been injected into the visitors line-up and other Cuban players have been rushed to the rescue. The two Hilldales crack pitchers, among the best in the States, Cockrell and Flournoy were trotted out, but fared no better than big Redding. It may be that the mixed line-up will eventually bring results. Let us hope. Score by Innings 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Hawana 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Bacharachs 1 1 0 0 0 6 8 Summary Home run—B. Jimenez, Two base hits—C.

CAN'T WIN IN CUBA JAPAN The "Cannon Ball" has been pitching some wonderful ball down in Cuba, but the bingles tingle with such regularity and casualty from the Cuban bats that the pride of Atlantic City is undergoing quite a slump. DUTCH WRESTLING CHAMPION HERE Edward Geered, champion middleweight wrestler of Holland, a colored man, is in Chicago seeking matches with mat artists his weight. He is 23 years old, and has won matches in Holland, France, Spain, England, South and Central America. Geered is being managed for the present by Virgil Williams, of the Royal Gardens, who expects to put him before the public shortly. Geered was introduced to the crowd at the Armory Monday night on the occasion of the Forty-St. Christopher game and dance. reins of government, were men who had been caught in one of the biggest fakes of the age, and who have never denied their part. How long would these birds run any kind of an association on idealistic lines? The Past "The evil that men do lives after them"—and so it was with TERRY McGOVERN and JOE GANS. Both of them are dead; the fight they faked was twenty years ago—but memory of that fake has lived on and on ruining the fight-game every where, casting its dark shadows over the ring in every city. It came off in Chicago, in December, 1900, and for 20 years boxing has been dead in the lakeside burg. Spasmodic attempts have been made to revive the game; mayors of Chicago and up state legislation have been besieged year after year, but the gloomy pall of the Gans-McGovern fake has always killed the chances. Even a farmer Legislator who never saw a boxing match in all his life, will hark back to the Gans-McGovern fake, and will promptly give that affair as the reason for his hostile vote. THE FIREBRAND Dixon Dixon "Chunk" Dixon is one of livest wires among Western Circuit catchers. In fact the fans at Chicago who root loudly whenever his name is announced as the pitcher's battery mate, think he is in a class by himself in this respect. You cannot conceive of the old time catcher running to first base to cover a throw, but this is the particular stunt which endeared Dixon to the fans. He is as spry on his feet as a short stop and covers as much ground. This quality is so rare contrasted with the prevailing ice-wagon model of catchers, that it is enough in itself, to make Dixon's work conspicuous. Dixon is one of the numerous Southern contingent of ball players. He is a native of one of the Carolina states and after a short spell with minor teams, he joined the American Giants, that was in 1917 and he has been with them ever since. THE ACE A For the past three years Tom Williams has been considered one of the greatest all round pitchers in the game. Ask any of the Negro league batters the half dozen toughest pitching proposition he faces in a season, and nine out of ten of them will include Williams' name in the list. Not only is he rated a pitcher with great natural gifts in speed and control, but he is universally considered one of those wise players who uses his head. And there is nothing lazy about Williams, for he loves baseball and is never happier than when he is taking his turn on the mound. Williams is another son of the Carolina states, is a product of Morris-Brown university, coming direct from that school to the American Giants in 1917, and with the exception of two seasons spent in the East, has been on the staff ever since. His age should insure several more good seasons. --- BASKETBALL FORTY CLUB FLAYS ST. CHRISTOPHER 36-26 Overthrow throng see great Eastern team colors trampled in dust in hair-raising battle with the Forty Club Chicago proved its right to a front seat in big basketball circles when more than 2,000 wellwishers of the floor pastime assembled at Eighth Regiment armory Monday night to view the scrap between New York's pets, St. Christopher, and Chicago's pride, the Forty Clubs. The Windy City squad triumphed and finished pulled up a bit. Messers, Hodges and Smith unhurried an ideal arrangement of the regiment arena giving the athletes an unstinted amount of space for a display of their wares, while there remained ample capacity of space on the main spur for the comfortable disposition of 500 boxes, which were all occupied with a near stampede for more. Standing room was at a premium in the balcony that encircles the arena. Dr. Al Johnson had his charges honed down to the keenest edge of physical and mechanical perfection and their bow to the audience dolled as they were in the most expensive togs extant, added an impressive spectacle to the already highly scenic stage setting. When the wonderfully famous St. Christopher squad trotted out upon the scene, paudemonium reigned, and more than forty hearts were seen protruding from Chicago mouths. The Easterners possess international fame and are reputed to be heavy laden with experience, prestige, class and other trimmings that usually adorn champions. The dark sons of old Dad Knickerbocker rushed into the fray like a pack of hungry wolves and for a few minutes of the splash looked to make a meal of the local floorman at one gobble. The fiery Fiall was ever and anon the fly that pestered the Forty ointment, while Clarence Jinkins was the Whale of the New York offense; but upon several occasions when he looked to have the Forty Jonah all gulped down the hoof of one old father Dearborn's boys would descend upon his Adam's apple he coughed up much to the advantage of the locals. The game fairly sizzled with iouls, mostly of the personal variety, Jinkins moved up to three, while Bluett was yanked on an alleged claim of four. The Captains exit gave Sol Butler a chance to show and he at once elevated the crowd with a basket while going at full speed. The work of Anderson and Duff stood out conspicuously, as as did that of Winters and Bluett, perhaps, among the best in this country at the floor game. The Christians flashed a high exhibition of team work, their passing, especially the spot and floor variety being extremely impressive. The locals suffered no loss of prestige over the fancy stuff of the visitors, as they had 'em lashed to the mast on dribbling, throws, and outgamed the Easterners, the latter being leg worried and winded badly. The Forty Clubs fairly smothered them in the last minutes of the last half, the fracas ending with lions' share of the honors going to the Forty Club. The Forty lightweightts put the bee in the position to the time of 22-13 in the trap, trap. BASKET BALL AT EVANSTON EVANSTON, III., Jan. 5.—Evidence of the amerrice struggle looms up when the Emerson St. Y Basketball squad locks horns here Wednesday night, the 5th, with the Seward Park Blues.

The boss of the National Association of base ball clubs has been sojournery for some weeks amidst the mild wailing of the Ozarks of Arkansas and incidentally taking a plunge in the invigorating and youth giving waters that flow heated and unstinted off Uncle Sam's reservation. The big boss says he don't care how dry the old uncle makes this country, just so he keeps his hands off the Thousand drippings, the Mountain Valley, Potash Sulpher, Magnesia and the Arsenic waters that daily exude from the Ozarks. "Rube" says that he went to the Springs that he might be fit to tackle the toughest job in base ball, Manager? No President of the league. Yes, sir, the pititable unfortunate who is league president deserves all the sympathy in the dictionary, and then some. The original hard luck guy is the bird who consents to act the role of harmony promoter in any league, big or little. Foster is qualified to speak on the difficulties of both jobs and no doubt will do so in the near future. The American Giants will play out the winter franchise in the league at Palm Beach, Fla., and will be opposed by the Royal Giants of New York. Foster is carrying a strong line of players who look formidable both on the offense and defense; they are: Grant, DeMoss, Beckwith, Malarcher, Infielders, Gardner, Lyons, Warfield, Outfielders, Dixon, J. Brown, Catchers, T. Williams, Whitworth, D. Brown, T.

TABLE OF CONTENTS: The Colored Press—The New Erase—The Negro's Reaction to the World War—The Negro's Grievances and Demands—Riots—Lynching—The South and the Negro—The Negro and Labor Unionism and the Abolition—Negro Problems—The Lyric Cry. The progress of the Negro Race in America, its share in the world-war, and the problems of the day are factors to be recognized in the interests of national unity and harmony. The Negro has a voice in the Press which can be touched by two dailies, a dozen magazines and more than three hundred weeklies—periodicals published by Negroes, edited by Negroes and written for Through these mediums the Negro gives utterance to his grievances, his aspirations, his demands, in a manner that is unassuming and unassessed of white Americans. To know the Negro you must read his written word, which is presented in typed and only by reading the Negro press can a realization of his position in National Life be brought home, and the influences being brought to bear upon him.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. The Human Cuttle-Fish. Down in the deep sea lives a little fish. This aquatic creature in the beginning was provided with no natural weapons of defense and was left exposed to the thousand dangers which lurk in the depths of the briny deep. Unarmed and physically weak he eked out a morbid existence upon drifting seaweeds and tiny water insects. This creature is scientifically known as the cuttle fish. It was preyed upon by vicious sword fish and saw-toothed sharks, who are called the tigers of the sea. The perils of the deep ocean drove the poor little submarine creature into distraction. One day as it raced terror-striken through the great waters nervous reaction seized its throat and from its gullet a dark brown liquid belched forth and gushed through the under currents, coloring darkly the surrounding waters. The cuttle fish was saved, or at least, temporarily so, and ever since that day whenever attacked or in fear of attack, this denizen of the sea belches forth from its gullet a heavy brown liquid which darkens the waters and hides him from his enemies. Man has always from the early dawn of civilization patterned his defenses after those of elemental nature. Modern naval and military defenses such as smoke screens, which conceal the manoevers of armies on land and ships at sea are modelled after the crude defense of the cuttle fish. In America we have the human cuttle fish. They live in the Southland. The Negro Question is the dark brown gullet fluid which they use to be fuddle, to conceal and to mystify every local and national issue. If the South is attacked upon any issue or even fears attack the hazy and impenetrable problem of the black man is introduced. The South like the original cuttle fish had no reasonable or conceivable weapon by which her actions could be defended or justified. History relates that those who first populated certain parts of the South were to a large proportion outlaws, convicts and exiles. These people, having this natural handicap, were open to unanswerable inquiry for their multifarious shortcomings and notorious wrongs. The South played cuttle fish. Around slavery and its injustices the South belched forth its dark brown gullet fluid, recking with fallacies about the black man's inferiority and animal propensities. Science was thrown into an argument and courts of justice sidetracked real justice and the crime of slavery was concealed by the South's subterfuge. Once when Eugene Debs spoke in Atlanta on the plan to unite the working people of the world regardless of race to better the condition of the toilers everywhere, a Southerner arose and inquired of Mr. Debs if he would like to have his "daughter marry a "N——r." When the conscription of men in the late war was begun, the South's first objection was that they would perchance be thrown in contact with black men. When women's suffrage and the Susan B. Anthony Amendment was proposed, the South immediately "cuttle fished" the proposition with cloudy questions of the black woman's voting capacity. On the issue of reducing the Southerner's representation in Congress to the basis of their bona fide voters, cries about black people shunning the polls, selling the ballot, carpet baggers and social equality were immediately emitted. If Prof. Michaelson of the University of Chicago, who has just discovered a star ninety million times larger than the sun should lecture in the South, some intrepid Southerner would ask him how does it affect the black man. The South's chief objection to prohibition and the Volstead Amendment was the alleged ability of the Kentucky Colonel to mix a better mint julep than his dark-skinned servant. But we must remember that the cuttle fish was only temporarily saved and in the end his supply of sepia or gullet fluid, which, incidentally, is the same substance which artists use on their canvas, ran out and it was destroyed by its enemies. The South cannot ever cuttle fish the important local and national issues of America. The country is growing in intelligence and the black people are presenting unanswerable arguments and by real achievement are disclosing the foibles and fallacies of the hot-headed Southerners. A shark-like business man of Ethiopian ancestry is steadily gaining a foothold in the economic life of the South, and a sword fish farmer of ebony hue is spiking the fertile fields of Dixie and is passing it on to his children. Cuttle fish cannot forever elude the strong and persistent. Away with the cuttlefish! The Whip is the only colored paper you can rely upon for clean, wholesome news. It knows no compromise with justice. It is the only paper that presents without reserve the cause of the new Negro. It gives you the facts without fear of consequence. Gentlemen:—Enclosed find.....for..... Name ..... Legal Hints To Women By Violette Anderson. My husband and I separated in California. We have some property there and he has agreed to give it to me and let me get a divorce. We are both here now. How can he do that if the prop- YOUNG state. Could he afterwards come and get it back? No. If he deeds it to you, it is yours until you dispose otherwise of it. The court here would have no jurisdiction of the property there however and it would have to come to you through the voluntary act of your husband in this instance. My husband left me three years ago. About two months ago he came to Chicago here and we lived together for two days when he left again. I had already started my suit for divorce and now he says I can't get the divorce. Is that true? Yes. When you went to live together again that barred the suit for divorce and you will have to begin over again. My landlord began an action against me for one month's rent that he claimed I owed—which I did, but he would not fix water pipes not clean the walls for all of the three years I lived in the house. I think I ought to have that much money for the cleaning I did there. What can he get if he sues me? Judgment against you, for if you spent money there for necessary repairs and your lease did not provide that you should do so, you can sue him for that amount, but you must pay your obligation. If I move out of a flat that I have leased for two years until the 30th of April, 1921, can the landlord do anything to me? Yest: sue you for the unexpired term of your lease—or if he puts in other tenants for the time that the apartment was unoccupied and he lost money. The Churches South Park Notes.

What the general public calls "rheumatism" the physician calls arthritis, which means an inflammation of a joint. There are in the main three types of "rheumatism". they are (1) gonorrheal rheumatism, which often is associated with gonorrhea; (2) inflammatory rheumatism, which is severe, involving one or many joints and has a tendency to valuall heart disease; it is associated with fever, pain and inflammation; (3) muscular rheumatism, which has muscular pain, with or without fever, and other rheumatic symptoms. Rheumatism attacks all classes of people and all ages. I wish to consider briefly in this issue rheumatism in children. Rheumatism rarely attacks the infant under 2 years of age and is seldom found under 5, but occurs mostly between the ages of 7 to 10. The early diagnosis of rheumatism in children is of utmost importance for the earlier the treatment, the better the outcome. For the benefit of the parents I wish to name a few of the common early symptoms that they may overlook. The child that has constantly a sore throat and diseased or decayed tonsils is more apt to be a sufferer from rheumatism than one that has normal tonsils. Many parents bring in their children with such symptoms as these, anemia, headache, and "indigestion," lassitude and shortness of breath (which probably is due to an enlargement of the intestines) or the common complaint of such nervous symptoms as fidgety, fretfulness, night terrors. On careful examination of the child we find that the heart is enlarged and the joints contain nodules, which are due most always to rheumatism. The child may also have fever present which rarely goes above $102^{\circ}$ F. In conclusion I wish to impress upon mothers the importance of healthy tonsils in children. It is found that decayed tonsils are the seat of many cases of rheumatism. If the tonsils are decayed or diseased, when the acute attack and fever is over, there should be no delay in removing the tonsils as they are often the store-house for the trouble. Overflow Meeting—Street Blocked for Moment Rev. W. D. Cooks, Text, Joshua, IV. The Metropolitan Community Center Church last Sunday 10:45 a.m. "filled up," even measure—then ran over into 39th Street for a few moments. Standing room was made in the wings and adjacent entrances to the main auditorium. The musical attractions, especially the orchestral numbers are playing well their part to assist the messages of the Pastor and Assistant Pastor R. Francis Washington in this work. TEXT "Over yonder the waves may be knocking against traditions door—knocking against the things which are to come, but if you take with you three things you must over come. These things are Faith, Hope and Love. "One is better to have tried, said the Master, then one who has not tried at all." "Although hundreds have joined this church: I have never asked a single individual to leave his own church and to come here—never sought (particularly) to proselyte a single person—but whosoever will let him come." "Black a man's boots—he will shun the mud." "Throw mud upon him—he will not avoid mud." The prayer and responsive reading of the decalogue by Rev. Francis Washington touched the audience. The Choral King's (J. W. Jones) Choir It must be told that Mr. J. Wesley Jones was "acting" again. He pulled off a number of selections carrying obligatos and distinct parts for sections, which had all wondering "what next" in the musical fete given each Sunday. --- Dr. Cook announced that four colored heroes now lie in state at the Armory (Sunday) and services are contemplated next Sunday a. m. at 10 o'clock. Floral offerings are expected from all the churches. A new feature of holding memorials in all the churches where their members are listed among the "Died in France," was also announced. The Emancipation Address was reported one of the best in the city. Safety and Sanity "We had a safe and sane Fourth of July, didn't we we?" inquired the aggressive person. "I dunno," answered the diffident man. "After listening to some of the unsafe and insane oratory I heard, I would have been willing to compromise an ordinary fireworks." Calculation. "Don't worry about the police finding out about this prize fight. I've pulled off nine without their getting a clue." "Yes, but you must remember ten mills make one scent." Legal Catechism By Herman E. Moore, Attorney at Law All Questions of Legal Nature Cheered fully Answered. Ques.—On the 3 n day of arch I pur- ased some tock from a cor- poration which declared a month- ly dividend of 10 per cent which at the time was not incorporated. They failed to Ques.—On the 3 n day of orch I purchased some stock from a corporation which declared a monthly dividend of 10 per cent which at the time was not incorporated. They failed to pay the dividends as promised. Later they were incorporated under the laws of Delaware with a ten million dollar capital stock. Upon their request I sent my old issue of certificates and received the new ones but I have not received a cash dividend since I purchased the stock. Would you advise me to still hold the shares or get my money back. Kindly advise me what legal steps I should take to recover my money. Ans.—You have not given sufficient information about the corporation for an opinion as to the advisability of holding or disposing of the stock in the same. If this company was unincorporated, as you state, when you purchased the shares of stock, then it was not a corporation; and if you had any specific agreement or contract with anyone there whereby you were to receive any specific dividends upon your purchase of stock you are entitled to hold them to the same. On the other hand, when you exchanged your old certificates for new ones in the then incorporated company you became a corporate stock holder on the same terms with other stock holders of your company, namely, upon pre-incorporated stock) and you were entitled to all and only the privileges of such class of stock holders. You should consult a lawyer in your local city and explain your case to him more fully. Ques.—Many of us signed up and left here to go to France as stevedores. We signed up as civilians and were paid different prices, $95, $75, and $65 per month. When we got to New York we were given soldiers uniforms and charged up for the same. When we got to France we were denied civilian rights and were put entirely under military discipline. We suffered untold hardships under these Southern officers and were forced to overtime without extra pay, whereas we had signed up to work eight hours a day. Many times we had to work eleven. Now if the soldiers get a bonus will we civilians be entitled to one too. **Ans.—That will depend upon the classes of men to whom the bonus is granted, if any bonus is granted. If a bonus is granted and it should be restricted to enlisted men, then the determining question in the cases of the men you mention is whether or not the army records and your discharges show that as a matter of fact you were really enlisted men in the U. S. army.** **Ques.—I have been summoned as a witness in a case. I know very little about it and I do not want to be mixed up in the affair. Do I have to go anyhow?** **Ans.—Yes. It will be necessary for you to answer the summons unless excused. Otherwise you will be liable for contempt of court.** **Ques.—I was a promissory note which was due many years ago, and which has never been paid?** The party is thoroughly able to pay it now. Ans.—You can sue on a promissory note at any time within ten years from the date of maturity, and if there has been any additional promise, extension or renewal on the same, within ten years from such extension or renewal.

Camera Tella Tara Quality A tar camera for colorimetric tar deterioration in producer gas and other operations, is being manufactured by the Steere Engineering company, Detroit, gas engineer and builder. The operation is based on a rough relation between the shade of tar stain and its weight. The stain is made by passing a certain amount of gas through a piece of special white paper which may then be compared with a standard stain chart for estimating the tar content.

A. tried to bring as much Christmas cheer as possible to the little girls less fortunate than themselves. With the proceeds from their pre-Christmas bazaar they were able to give out 55 baskets to families furnished by the Associated Charities. The girls worked diligently and well deserve a deal of credit for their efforts. To Drs. Thornton, Kennedy and Downs we also owe a deal of thanks for lending their cars for the distribution of these baskets. The Girl Reserves are planning a broader and more thorough routine of work for the coming year, more stress is to be placed on the side of "physical fitness." Gymnastic apparatus are being installed for work this year. Folk dancing will also take an important part in our program. All girls from 12 to 18 are wanted and urged to come and join us. Let us help you enjoy your "Y." There will be a musical contest between the W. Y. C. A. Glee Club and the Armour Jubilee Singers on Monday, Jan. 17, at the Wabash Ave. Y. M. C.

Anyone desiring to join any of these classes may do so through our Industrial Secretary, Mrs Irene M. Gaines. Inasmuch as we are pleased to note he advent of the Colored girl into the BUSINESS WORLD and to praise her ability to meet the competition she must face in order to maintain even a foot-hold in the great field of business that the exigencies of the Great War open so suddenly to her—it is well to have her realize that DANGER also lurks in and competition, she must face in order to maintain even a foot-hold in the great field of business that the exigencies of the great War opened so suddenly to her—it is well to have her realize that DANGER also lurks in and about the Court Highway. For the first time in the history of the race white men find themselves closely and directly associated with colored women of some degree of culture and education and have the opportunity of observing them or the first time from and on their own level. We, as a race of women, have been unjustly charged with being highly susceptible to the flattering attentions of white men. It is now our happy privilege to give the lie to the charge. Most girls in the business world, regardless of color, find themselves at some time or another, associated with men who "make advances"—insist on socializing. "No girl can afford it. It retracts from her business efficiency—o say the least. For reasons above mentioned and others too numerous, mention, NO COLORED GIRL can afford it. We are making here no blat of our own making girls with white men with and under them they work except in strict conformance with conventions DISINSTER FOR COLORED BUSINESS GIRLS. The 52nd General Assembly of the state of Illinois convenes Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2021, at the state capitol for probably its most important session for over fifty years. However, no weighty cares of statemanship seemed to burden the minds of Warren B. Douglas, S. B. Turner and A. H. Roberts as they made their way Springfieldward Tuesday A. M. Then, too, the set sternness of the High Chief of the Registrar's office, "Ted" Steinert, had given way to a genial smile as he, too, tied trainward with the rest of the happy gang, "Sid" Lyons, Ralph Church, Howard C. Castle, Sol Roderick, Wm. Cruder, Wm. Thon and the invincible Dave Shahan. It is whispered that the "bills" that the legislators will handle this week are a "little different" to the usual kind—which accounts for the "Miles and Miles of Smiles." Wm. E. Woodard, photographer, is an artist in the fullest sense of the word. A visit to his studio at 302 East 35th street will be both convincing and edifying. The walls of his studio are adorned with pictures of beautiful women, hand-some men and lovely children—each a tribute to the skill and artistry of Mr. Woodard. Mr. Woodard furnishes the cover designs for some of the leading magazines of the country and the designs are reproductions from his large array of "Colored American Beauties." Mr. Woodard is truly the Miracle Man of photographic art and a picture made by him is a "thing of beauty and a joy forever." Miss Wilson, assistant in charge of the studio, adds much to its success by her charm and grace, and is an artist to me more than herself. THE PORTY CLUB added to its already enviable reputation as the arborist of "things social" and the sponsor of social athletics in the Windy City by its latest Basket-Ball and Dance Monday evening, Jan. 3, 1921, at the Eighth Regiment, Armory. Dr. Al Johnson, basket-ball enthusiast, and the committee associated with him spared no efforts to make this game and dance the biggest ever. Though St. Christopher's team of New York lost to the Forty boys, score 36-24, they were more than compensated by the social courtesies extended them by the Forty boys. Who generously accented the game with the society of Chicago's coterie of "Pretty Debs" who were in attendance as ushers and it is whispered that the "witching glances" of the same pretty "Debs" caused the hitherto invincible New York Y. M. C. A. News The New Year was ushered in with a fine program and watch meeting in the lobby. The Tennessee Normal Social and Service Association had charge of the program which consisted of Moving Pictures, a big act by Mr. and Mrs. Willie Hill, contortionists, musical numbers and a religious address by Rev. Wilson Spurgeon Carey. W. Edward Williams, pastor of Hope Presbyterian Church, delivered an excellent address at the Men's Meeting last Sunday. Subject: "The Great Choice." Rev. Charles W. Burton, pastor Lincoln Memorial Memorial Church will speak at 3:30 Sunday, January 9th. Subject: "The Eternal Question."
