Early Saturday morning Keystone operatives located Mrs. Holbert at her Prairie Ave. residence in company with Frank Saunders, 3749 Indiana Ave. When police of the Stanton Ave. station raided the flat and arrested the lovers, it is said that Mrs. Holbert blithely supplied bail for herself and Saunders, gayly saying, "Yes, hubby dear, I will bail him out, and with your money, too."
CHENEYVILLE, La., Jan. 19—J. S. Wade, a high school city was mysteriously killed and two deputy sheriffs were wounded in a mysterious shooting which took place near here last week.
Wade had received a letter ordering him to place $200 in a secluded spot. He informed the police of the letter, and they arranged to go with him to the spot and capture the writers of the letter, if possible. The journey to the spot was made at night, and as the party approached the spot some one yelled "Hands Up," and the shooting commenced. No one seems to know where the shots were fired from, or who did the shooting.

Norris Smith, who has been an errand boy for Rotstein, was in the rear of the store when he heard three men enter the place and ask prices on meat. Getting his answer, the bandit is said to have asked the grocer "why he sold his meat so much, higher than anyone else." As a shot rang out Norris ducked into the icebox and peeped out, getting a clear description of the bandits in his mind. When the bandits left the store he fled by the back way and notified the police. Russell Carrsaw was standing on the sidewalk when the men fled past him and watched them disappear in a vacant lot. The bandits got $13 for their trouble.
Positively Identified
When six suspects were lined up before the boys at the Cottage Grove station, they positively identified Woods and Reed as the bandit-murders. The third is still at large.

No Legs, But Plenly of Moonshine
Police of the Cottage Grove Station were surprised Thursday night to find a man lying on the street who had lost his legs, his voice, and his senses. He was taken to the Cottage Grove Station where it was found that the loss of his legs was permanent, but his voice and senses returned when he had slept off the effects of too much moonshine whiskey. He later described himself as Harry Jordan, of Detroit.

CONVICT GIRL OF MURDER AT WASHINGTON
CONVICT GIRL OF MURDER AT WASHINGTON
Clara Johnson Found Guilty of Manslaughter
To Ask New Trial
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19. Clara Johnson, 18-year-old girl, was found guilty of manslaughter yesterday by a jury before Justice Gould, in connection with the slaying of Detective Sergeant Harry Wilson on July 21, 1919, during the race riots in the Capital.
Upon motion of District Attorney Laskey the court dropped the charge of first-degree murder, which the grand jury had returned against William Johnson, father of the girl. Counsel for the defense were not allowed to use this fact, however, to oppose the charge of the government that the girl shot the detective.
Was Tried on Murder Charge
WAS Tried on Murder Charge
The girl was tried on a charge of first degree murder. The jurors compromised on the manslaughter verdict. The girl was calm when the foreman the jury announced the verdict, but her led down and wept. She was led from the courtroom by a matron.
The trial began Monday in Criminal Court No. 1, but there was difficulty in obtaining a jury, and the taking of testimony was not begun until Tuesday afternoon. The prosecution conducted a Assistant District Attorney Cromelin and Doren, charged that Detective Wilson was killed as he was entering the Johnson home in search of persons who had fired into the street. After an exchange of pistol shots the detective fell, mortally wounded, and William Johnson and his daughter were discovered by other officers, hiding under a bed. It was testified that an empty cartridge was found in a revolver in their home.
To Ask New Trial
The government's difficulty was to prove which, if any, of the defendants fired the shot that killed Detective Wilson. Attorneys B. L. Gaskins and T. M. Watson, who defended Clara Johnson, contended it was not possible to prove what shot struck the officer. Counsel for the defense gave notice of their intention to ask for a new trial.
JUSTICE RETIRES AFTER
FORTY YEARS SERVICE
VICTORIA, Ark., Jan. 19—R. S. Gibbons, justice of the peace in Victoria township since 1880, retired Saturday after forty years continuous service. A women's club staged a celebration in his honor at the school house at Stewart's chapel, A. M. E. church, the day being also the anniversary of emancipation day. After a program, the retiring veteran was presented with a gold ring embossed with Masonic emblems. In acceptethe gift the venerable official gave same advice to his constituents. He said:
"I am proud to receive this tribute from the sons of the voters who first elected me to office in 1880. I advise and urge you young people to appreciate the dignity, labor, the wisdom of thrift, the honor of being truthful and honest. Merit the confidence of all with whom you come in contact. These virtues have brought me up from the house of bondage to this honorable retirement."

Bogus Detective
Robs Man of $25
Waddie Johnson, of 3136 Indiana Ave., a porter at the Hotel Planters, was accosted last week by a man who retreated himself to be a detective. The "detective" prevailed on Johnson to leave his job in the "Loop" and go out on South State St. to identify a man who was charged with shooting and robbery. At 80th and State St., the two aighted from a surface car and went into a vacant lot near the carline, where the "detective" slugged Johnson about the head, broke his jaw, and "detected" $25.00 in money on Johnson, which he took. Johnson is now asking the detectives to locate the "detective."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—Declaring that the Haitian voodooists have become so enraged at the conduct of the American marines on the island of Haiti, Secretary Daniels said last week that native bandits have instituted a new philosophy which teaches its followers that the eating of a white man will insure a life of 100 years.

TRIES TO CURE HIS SICK WIFE WITH EMBALMING FLUID
LEWISBURN, Tenn.—Government officials in this city are at a loss as to whether they should hold Howard Hill of this city on charges of attempted murder or for violation of the Volstod act.
Hill was arrested last week when he was found administering to his wife a concoction of apple juice, turpentine and embalming fluid. He was charged with owning and operating an illicit distillery. He found no difficulty in convincing the judge that what he was making was not whisky, but doubt as to his intentions caused the judge to hold him to the federal court.
Hill claimed that this concoction, if properly administered, would prevent death as well as preserve the body after death. He said his wife was sick and he wanted to cure her.

ALABAMA MILITIA LYNCH WHITE MAN
JASPER, Ala., Jan. 19.—Little protection for members of the black race can be expected from members of the Alabama Militia if, as witnesses sweat, they are guilty of lynching a white man. Five non-comissioned officers and six privates of "M" Co., Alabama National guard have been placed under arrest following the testimony of witnesses who say that they disguised themselves as citizens and lynched William Baird, white, a miner here. The witnesses say the soldiers wore civilian clothes during the lynching, later burning them.
UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP
Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils.
Woodrow Wilson is making preparations to move from the White House. The majority of Americans will not rue that day. He returns to the ranks of private citizenry without the love and the admiration of the Commonwealth. He came, he failed and then passed off the stage of action. Hooray.
Robert L. Mays has gotten to be so important, that is in his own conceited vision, that he must have a press agent to publish his activities. This gentleman should bear in mind that the fact that if he has any intrinsic ability, which is honestly doubted, that some one will recognize him. This is clear at any rate. He cannot be a successful labor leader, organizer and a first-class politician at the same time. He is certainly trying to capitalize something. Is it The Railway Men's International Benevolent Association?
Governor Lowden of Illinois, who is now going out of office, refuses to exercise any leniency in behalf of the five black men convicted of murder charges in the late East St. Louis Riots. Maybe this is a stem and rigid enforcement of the law. We are inclined to think in the light of other pardons and paroles to convicted criminals that the governor's inflexibility savors of race prejudice and hatred. Possible and highly probable.
The fact that so much dissension is manifest in the various denominations of the Churches is indicative of the fact that the Divine rights of Bishops is being seriously questioned and more democracy is needed in religious pursuits. The Crown heads of Methodism are slow to see this but it will be forced upon them in the near future. Men of Bishop Parks type will be repudiated in no uncertain manner and the sooner the better for all concerned.
Unemployment has failed to point the compass of the black man southward. We heard of no Irish people going back to Ireland, no Jews going to Armenia, and the South has played the role of false prophet again. The geese of the golden eggs have flown to fairer nests and they never go back.

"NOSEY" SEES ALL
KNOWS ALL
I know you know those ladies (?) that stand in the dark doorways on State street in the 33rd block and call "Hello, dearie" to all male passersby. Well, they seem to pass the plain clothes men up, and if they ever miss their guess on the man, something is going to happen to them. I know you know that society lady who has taken possession of the flat at 30th and State street with her niece. Well, Nosey says that her star boarder is some guy since he is no doubt a thief. The most insultant longer on "the force." Certainly you must know that lady who is stopping on South Park avenue, after leaving her husband and her two children. Well, what everybody is wondering about is why she took unto herself a man 17 years younger than herself after twenty years of married bliss with her first husband.
You must know that gentleman way over on Walnut street because you have seen him so much with that lady who is recently divorced. Well, he had better be careful for the lady's sake and not spend so much time with the divorcee in front of her little daughter, as the former husband might take steps to get the care of his daughter.
If that little divorcee of about five weeks is not a little more cautious about her notes of warning and threats to a certain real estate man who evidently does not want her affections, she is liable to find herself in trouble with Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam does not permit disappointed lovers to use the mails unless they stay within the law. Better take that tip, girl, or your folks will find out all about the mess and your society friends will sit up and take notice.
You must know oh, yes. YOU must know about the Bethel Beacon Lights. Well, they cut out dancing and card playing. Their lights will either shine now or go on. Let 'em shine.
I know you know that big politician Oh, you must know him, because he headed the syndicate of the Second ward. Well, tell him the hounds are on his trail and he'll be caught one of these mornings between midnight and dawn.
I know you know that flat on Prairie avenue. You ought to know it because they are the ones that have the reputation of putting red pepper in their house brew. Well, if you 'em, tell 'em that the fellow they give those eyes drinks to last Saturday night is dead and they may be held for murder after the impact. I know you know "that socializing lawyer." Yes, you must know him because the wind is playing mournful tunes, whistling through his threadbare overcoat on these cold days. Well, a thousand cats could not catch one rat in that "benny."
You must know those "secretaries" down at the Race Commission. Well, they will be looking for another job soon where they can sit down and write foolish questions and send out to intelligent people.
I know you know that dramatic critic, jocularly called by his patient sympathizers, the "Oscar Wilde of Journalism". Well, it would be a waste of energy to chloroform him, but it would save the psychopathic ward one patient if it was done.
I know you know "the Wandering Journalist" who is troubled with his feet. Well, he is anchored now and don't have to walk much.
Who Will Show Him?
An immigrant who recently arrived at Ellis Island puts it up to us neatly: "What is it you call an American; give us a pattern to go by." Are there any further remarks before we adjourn? — Toledo Union Leader.
"NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL
A man is knocking on the door.
N OSEY finds that the pictures of three prominent leaders have found their way into the house of their admirers and are given the place of honor on the old mantel. On questioning the ladies if they knew the gentlemen well or were merely admirers of the men for their deeds and service to the community, they replied that they "loved" them for both their deeds and their services, but both the services and the deeds had nothing to do with the community. In speaking of one of the gentlemen, a real estate magnate, one lady said that if that gentleman did not make certain restitutions and let her use her car sometimes, his wife and daughter would find out about some of the services the good man is rendering to the community and to her in particular. She got so mad that Nosey unbared the door and went down the fire escape like all visitors to the flat that "know the madam."
OF COURSE, everybody has heard about "common law" marriages, but it is rather doubtful if many of the pining couples who are seeking a way out of their "difficulties" have heard about "a marriage in bond." It only means that the girl can go on and get married if it is to her advantage (and the advantage of the "other man"), but she does it under "bond." In the end it means that though the girl marries a perfectly nice fellow, she still is under "bond" held by the other man, and woe be unto her if she skips her bond, as the outside man comes right in and cashes in. It was this that caused that prominent society lady on 42nd street to lose her chance for a good marriage. The "eligible" gent found out that she would have to marry him "under bond," and he did not like the partnership plan in his married life. She is still after him, but he has had his "eye teeth cut," and won't budge.
So their things have an element of the tragic in them. Nosey was shuffling along 37th street and stopped at Wabash Avenue to see what the crowd was gathered about. Two 4-year-old kids were trapping to beat three of a kind. No stopped them, much to the disgust of the fight mad spectators, and asked the kids what caused all the hard feelings. The little curly headed chap, still under four years, informed Nosey that the other had called him a "bimp" and he had called him one back and "then the fun began." Nosey sent the kids on their different ways, winked at the laughing fight fans, and strolled solemnly off, thinking and wondering how they got it so young. Think what these two will know when they are 35!

EVERYBODY remembers when that fellow who jumped out of a second story on Indiana avenue a few months ago. Well, last Friday evening Nosey and the crowds gathered had visions of another attempt, but this wise man had more sense. He merely hung by his hands until a girlish little woman came and helped him back in with some difficulty. Nosey afterward learned that the unexpected return of the husband caused this dare devil stunt on the part of the black-haired postoffice clerk. The woman must be given the power for her presence of mind the manner in which she disposed of other telltale evidence which hubby might have seen. It would have been funny indeed if he had remained, but he merely forgot his "package" that he takes on every trip. The postoffice clerk has a cold and the doctor also says that he has a "nervous breakdown." Do you wonder that his nerves broke down after that experience.
YOU can never tell who a person is and it is best to find out before you go too far. Early Sunday morning, about 3:30 to be exact, Nosey was dragging his tired lean body home when he bumped into a stout gentleman who almost fell to the sidewalk, but drew himself up proudly and informed Nosey that he was George Washington. Nosey asked him if he did not mean Booker T. Washington when he got a glimpse of the fat gentleman's face. He still contended that he was the real George and offered to share with Nosey some of his "hootch." Nosey politely refused because he might get to feel like he was Abraham Lincoln, and persuaded the good gentleman to go home, and earned the thanks of his wife. "George Washington's" car was found Monday at 46th and Prairie avenue, but the car bore initials which would not fit George Washington, yet there is a story about that gentleman always telling the truth.

Sunday evening, having as speaker of the evening Superintendent Mortenson of Chicago public schools, and Miss Cook, daughter of Rev. Cook, pastor of the church, Miss Pauline James Lee sang with feeling, "Deep River." by Burleigh. The choir rendered several fine selections.
The outline of the work of the Community Center by Miss Cook was lucid and thoroughly comprehensive. Extracts from Mortenson's speech: "It is a privilege and a duty of this great government to provide the opportunity for every boy or girl a means of fitting themselves for an intelligent citizenship."
"Every two and a half minutes there is a new pupil added to the enrollment of public schools. Every two minutes there is one who passes out of the list."
"Forty-five dollars is spent for every seat occupied by each boy or girl."
"There can be no progress unless there be a vision as a goal." "The time will come when an opportunity will be afforded every single youth for advancement." "The schools are providing the foundation for character building, the spiritual side also is educated." Rev. Dr. Cook commented upon the addresses of both the speakers, and said: "I am conscious of the necessity of this work which we are undertaking and now see that thousands have been waiting for this movement to have been started." "The entire program was a success."
DARK SPOTS IN THE BLACK BELT
"Lit Up" by Federal Order Closing Them. Building Cannot Be Used for Any Purpose for One Year.
A Druggist (Late Deacon of Largest Church) Caught in the Order.
Among the 24 saloons ordered closed for violating the temporary injunction orders issued by Judge Landis were four or five saloons known as the "dark spots" in the so-called black belt of Chicago. The drug store of a man lately prominent in church affairs and who was dismissed from the deacon board of his church for reports of such offenses, is included in the list.
It is believed by many that this man was leading in the attack by newspaper articles upon Olivet Baptist church during the months of October and November past.
The saloons referred to are 2900 La Salle, 2900 Dearborn, 2700 Federal, 2700 La Salle and 54 West 29th street, and the drug store, 434 East 31st street.
Why Dark Spots?
It may be noticeable that only one of these places ever appeared real prominent in the many "raids" and "drives" upon crime and the haunts of crooks, for all being west of State street—and crime investigators habitually travel upon or east of State street they were not often brought into the lime light.
As to the drug store, rumor and evidence has often stated that it was a "dark spot." The proprietor has been repeatedly arrested for either dope handling or liquor selling.
He is no longer a deacon or a member of Olivet church. At the other spots police officers and citizens have reported fighting over crap in New York. Johnson was slain near the back door of one; little girls have been taken from the entrances near some and sent to Geneva School for Girls, and in one particularly "dark spot" the holdups did their stuff in front of its door and went inside and spent the change it is reported.

At last, back home again, never again to roam, at least never to take another excursion party such a long distance away from home, only to dig way down in your jeans to bring 'em back. Well, New York isn't what they've yelled about. It's just an ordinary city with ordinary people and no better than our dear old Chi, at least to me. "Strutt Yo Stuff" took fairly well with the fans, but didn't hit 'em as we expected. The first night in New York the company behaved in long under adverse circumstances in order to show Monday, at the attraction was rushed when it left Chicago, owing to the fact that most all the chorus girls quit and new ones substituted at the last minute. About Thursday we had a show, and from then on it was riot until we met our Waterloo, old Bad Business, in Pittsburgh, Pa. I called the senior member of our firm, Henry Jones, and counselled with him, advising that we had better go in, and he readily agreed, hence the cancellation of about ten weeks in and about Ohio. Everybody wants to see Billy King in the body; they screen him; also the Smarter Set is well liked. Mamie Smith and her jazz hounds are killing any show that follows them, as we did in Pittsburgh. Next week I will give a detailed account of my first big trip away from home.

VOCAL INSTRUCTION IN CLASS
FORM.
PART I.
Because of the high cost of private lessons, many students are forced to abandon the idea of vocal study. This is to be deplored, for it is often the case that those most richly endowed with voices and the mental caliber to successfully develop them are just as often poorest in a financial way and that the students who are least capable of real musical development are the ones who fill the studios of the best voice teachers. Just here it is meet that a few hints be given as to the value of vocal instruction in class form and that students be told that the expense of such instruction is much less than for private work. This instruction must of course be received from a trained competent teacher—not necessarily one who has a large class or is widely known—but one who knows what to teach and how to teach it.
Specific vocal instruction in class form is of great value educationally. The principal things to be accomplished are: (1) Development of breathing; (2) correct production of the singing voice; (3) development of the musical tone; (4) scale practice and vocalism; (5) correct enunciation; (6) the study and artistic singing of suitable songs.
Singing of songs is very important and every opportunity possible should be given the students to listen to good songs as well as to sing them. Much is gained by intelligent listening. The songs chosen should have real merit, both as to text and melody and should be simple in the matter of correct performance. Such songs improve the music taste, strengthens the voice, broadens the imagination and deepens the musical appreciation of the student. A few years of such training would be of lasting benefit to any student and would be a valuable test as to the advisability of his further pursuing vocal study and of his incurring the additional expense of private instruction.
NOTE—Owing to an error in printing, the word "breathy" was substituted for the word "healthy" in last week's article in naming the requisites for good voice production: "Namely, a healthy throat."

THE WORLD OF SPORTS
Revives Talk of Black and Tan League
By Dave Wyatt
Baseball people who are familiar with the mental workings of Al Lawson as a promoter are not taking his alleged organization of the Continental league seriously. Al tried to put this same thing through about 10 or 12 years ago, but it never advanced beyond the announcement stage. At that time he proposed to use white and
PETER H.
colored players to make up his league, and the sport writers at once dubbed it the Black and Tan. Odd, but after every cloud has cast its dark shadow, whether it be over baseball, politics, social or economic conditions, some fellow retires and over night awakens with an eye opening solution for the many ill front which the populace of this good old U. S. A. is determinating. From a wild-eyed theorist standpoint, the black man is viewed as being of ideal makeup for useful ballast in floating many a dream balloon. They have had us trailing in the wake of Bolshevism, I. W. W, and many other-isms that exude from diseased minds, now comes the grizzled baseballer with a plan to unite a hundred or more of our honorable dark diamond athletes with a band of outlaw promoters, contract jumping players, gamblers, bribe takers, indicted ball players and other scums of the baseball earth, and palm the nauseating
Baseball In Cuba
BOWLING LEAGUE TO BE ORGANIZED.
John Daines, proprietor of the Classy Billiard Parlor No. 3 at 31st and Forest Ave, has a wonderful aggregation which will be pitted against the other city teams. It is said that the post office boys, the Y. M. C. A. and three or four of the other city clubs will be represented in the League. In as much as Bowling is the king of indoor sports and so many of the better class of fellows are interested some lively times are expected to be had this winter. The classy billiard hall No. 3 has the best equipped alleys in the city and more of them, therefore it is expected that the most of the match games are to take place in this palatial hall.

admixture off on the unsuspecting public as representatives of the greatest national game on the face of the globe.
Lawson was looked upon as a wise baseball man some 20 or more years ago, but the outlaw bee got to buzzing in this bonnet, so at intervals of from five to ten years, Al breaks out with hallucination that he has located the vulnerable spot in organized ball and launches out with a solar play. The scenario is surrounded with the same old plot. It's the story of the poor downrodden overworked ball player who only has to ride over the country in the finest trains in the world, enconced in Pullman palace cars and living off the fat of the land, stashed at the highest priced hotels that can be found while at the same time working two hours a day, hauling down from $4,000 to $18,000 for six months of that sort of gaff.
Lawson intends to better ball players' condition by moving the sky and doing away with the limit on salary and everything else. The wily promoter knows the lay of the land and has sprung a novelty by awarding franchises to states instead of the old plan to cities. That scheme is intended to invert the minds of careless players who may not sign contracts with their clubs becoming delinquent; and it may be a neat dodge of the array of legal talent with which baseball is now plastered. The National Association of colored baseball clubs is satisfied with their lot, are resting on a solid financial foundation and are operating in perfect harmony with other organized leagues. About the only interest that Lawson's league has aroused is that many predict an early failure.
BOXING
A novel proposition has been made to Tex Rickard, New York boxing promoter, to decide the negro boxing championship of America. It has been suggested that the noted New York fight promoter stage a carnival, in which every class be represented, to see which are the best black boxers in America.
The only man who holds a championship among the negro race today is Kid Norfolk, who recently bested Bill Tate.
A Cincinnati boy will be a contender if such a carnival is held. Joe Fox, a Queen City bellboy, who claims to have stopped Frankle Mason, will try for the flyweight honors.
Fox is matched to most Andy Duncan one of the best 105-pound boys in a preliminary contest to the Sandow Root contest on January 24. Fox will play against him shortly and may later go to England to match a play with Jimmy Wilde.
Bill Tate who has been acting in the capacity of human punching bag for champion Dempsey played possum in his go against Harry Wills at Buffalo causing many to believe that the affair was a brotherly love tilt. Wills 'had the better of the go as long as it lasted, when in the second round Tate curled up in the reelin and found more solace in the boos of the crowds than he could annex from the body slams of Wills. It is barely possible that Wills is a victim of a deep conspiracy to discredit him in the eyes of the public. He has just been declared innocent of an alleged charge of stalling in a match with McVey recently, now comes Dempsey's sparring partner with a palpable show of stall against the great battler. Wills has a good name both in and out of the ring and his many admirers will not look upon these attempts to discredit him with any amount of favor.
NEGRO BLOOD IN HARVARD ATHLETE CANCELS MEET
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Jan. 18—The dual track meet by Harvard and Virginia, scheduled as one of the big sporting events of the spring season at the University of Virginia, has been called off. Just before signing the final contract for the meet, the Harvard graduate manager, it is said, informed Dr. Lambeth of the Virginia faculty that two of the best men on the Crimson squad had Negro blood in their veins, and that it was not deemed advisable to bring the squad South without them. The manager stated that he realized the feeling prevailing in the South regarding the matter and desired to make the facts known. With this information at hand, a decision was reached by the Virginia authorities to cancel the meet.
JOHN DAMES PROMOTER
Mr. John Dames who is the proprietor of the Classy Billiard Hall, is the principal promoter of the league. He is well known in sporting circles and is well liked by all of the fellows. His popularity has been well earned because for several years he has operated indoor games such as pool, billiards and bowling on the southside and never was known to be a party to anything that savored of unfair play. All those desiring to enter the contest as individuals or as clubs can write to the Sporting Editor of the CHICAGO WHIP, 3420 State St. or see John Dames, 31st Street and Forest Avenue.

The rumored proposed purchase of
Center Fielder Charleston by the St.
Louis Giants baseball club is causing
quite a lot of discussion among West-
ern circuit fans. The New York Nati-
ral League club offered St. Louis
$200,000 for Roger Hornsby, twice
as much as the purchase price of
"Babe" Ruth. Neither of these play-
ers are considered the greatest player
of their race. Charleston is uni-
versally considered the greatest colored
player in baseball. How much is he
worth?
BASKETBALL
BALTIMORE A. A.'s HERE 24th
Eighth regiment armory is again slated for fierce basketball scrap when the famous Blue and Gray machine of Baltimore, Md., locks horns with the local floorman of the Forty Club. The battle of cagemen will occur on Jan. 24. Monday night and the ennity of the battle will be worn off in a dance which is a part of the regular program of all those hard floor athletes who pull, snark, puff and bite for the entertainment of devotees of basketball. The Anthianian A. A.'s come clothed with all the prestige that the athletic atmosphere of Maryland can afford, and incidentally have quite a few scals dangling from their belts—souvenirs of sharp battles with Eastern foes—as well as those from the middle-west who have had the temerity to engage the mighty cagemen of the Chesapeake bay district. In Captain Lyles the locals will encounter a guard and all-round basketball player that is at all times a menace to the opposition. "Scrapy" Brown has underwent special preparation for this particular game and is said to be a loam when right. "Noony" Rice looms up strong and is said to be wonder on defense and a tiger on offensive tactics. "Wes" Ham the sharp shooter of the squad was never better and is at present showing some mighty fine team work. Armstrong, Butler and Harris are all fit and trim and on a whole, the Athlens are primed to go the route and the going cannot be too rocky. Coach Dr. Al Johnson is not leaving a stone unturned in his framing of the Forty club, he is taking the boys through a strenuous workout three nights per week and booking games on the side. He is perfectly cognizant of the prowess of the Baltimoreans and having kept a clean slate so far for the locals, the mentor declares that if downed this time, it will not be through lack of condition of his charges.
FORTY CLUB WINS22-21
Billy Bottoms grabbed his high powered boulevard sketcher and rushed Coach Dr. Johnson. Porter Smith and a few friends out to Evanston Monday night to view the basketball scrap, which ended with the Forties on the long end of the score. The Evanston Arrows put up a plucky fight, but the team work, shooting and allround maneuvering of the Forties proved a serious handicap and they were lucky to hold the Chicagoans to a close score.

LINCOLN GIANTS BRUISE
SHELLENBACK
Those pesky Lincoln Giants hopped onto Shellenback Saturday afternoon at Carroll Park and made his curves and drops look cookeyed. The colored lids had on their lambasting toogs and sure did maul the onion. Shellenback stood the barrage for five innings and then gave way to Schneider. Pete was fickled pretty lively but managed to keep the hits scattered. Gardner heaved a steady game for the Giants and was well supported.
Priv Fisher was not discouraged over his stars' showing. After the game he just flicked his right thumb and said, "We'll get 'em tomorrow afternoon, surest thing you know."
Houck has been practicing all week to be in prime condition today and is sanguine of stopping the Giants as he has done before. The game will be played at Carroll Park and extra accommodations have been made for a bumper attendance. Hubbard, regarded by many as the best colored heaver in the world, will oppose Houck, Sunday, and, oh, boys, it should be some battle. The score:

FISHER'S STARS CLEAN UP GIANTS.
Fisher's Stars had no trouble
snearing the Lincoln Giants by a 12
to 5 count Sunday afternoon at Carroll Park. Jess Hubbard was rattled
out of the box in the fifth chapter
when the Stars gathered in six large
runs. Baugh finished up and did well
until the ninth when he was soaked
for four tallies. Houck was batted
hard in the fourth and fifth innings,
but thereafter he was too strong for
the opposition.

Rheumatism
A Remarkable Home Treatment
Given by One Who Had It
In the Spring of 1893 I was attacked by Mussureal and Sub-acute Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who have it have been treated. I was taken early after remedy, and doctor after doctor, but such relief as I received was only temporary. Finally, I found a treatment that worked. I had not been returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted and even hedridden with rheumatism, some of whom were quite ill. The couple were the same as in my own case.
I want every sufferer from such forms of rheumatic trouble to try this marvelous treatment. I simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-looked-for means of getting relief, you will receive the price of it, one dollar, but understand, I dn't want your money unless you perfectly satisfied to send it. When I was taken when relief is thus offered you free. Don't delay. Write today.

Calling for a Conclave
Reviewing the lynchings,of 1920, the causes and effects, it can
be concluded without hesitation or fears for error that the great evil
that confronts the black man of America is the unmitigated outlawry
of certain citizens living to a large extent in the south. For emphasis,
we repeat that the evil of lynching is the paramount hindrance to the
dark-skinned Americans. It stampedes his advancement, strikes
terror in his mind, cowers his spirit and leaves him facing the world
with the stamp of the terrible ordeal visible to all students of human
nature.
The political and economic inactivity of the black man is directly
attributable to the lynch law. Carefully considering the status of
the ex-slave and searching into reasons which have been given to
explain why he fails to measure up comparably with other peoples,
it can be seen without tedious investigation that his efforts have been
thwarted, his life thrown into constant and continual jeopardy and
his property, holdings intimidated by the ever-present spectre of the
lyncher’s torture, vandalism and devastation.
During the last election when “the men of the night” sought to
exercise their right of ballot, many were murdered, some brow-beaien
and warned, homes were burned, churches demolished, women rav-
ighed and children thrown into panic-stricken frenzy. The lynchers
of Florida, Georgia and Alabama hurled the fear of death with great
agony and terrible horror into the souls of black folks. The use of
the ballot is the inevitable means of political expression for American
citizens. This is denied and refused to black people. The denial and
refusal is enforced by lynchings or threats which signify the same.
The-Ku Klux Ki ino tivall i sini : Tiase the
pirate’s flag, embellished with skull and bones, its emblems eral
of death and disaster to black people. It follows that unless the’
evils of unmolested outlawry are corrected that the political future
of the freed man will continue in its unsatisfactory and precarious
condition.
The economic background behind lynching is discernible even
to the people across the sea. It cannot be hidden or disguised. The
lynch law has destroyed black men for having wealth and has even
been extended to fit the case of those who sought to get it. We
know men of our race who have been lynched for having bought
comfortable homes. We know others who have been driven from
their estates and their possessions seized and confiscated. Openly
and notoriously technical slavery and practical peonage is conducted
in the south with impunity. The labor of the black man has been
made profitable not for himself but for the lynch lords. It was the
lynch law which kept many of us from leaving the south and securing
healthy employment in the essential industrics of the north. Men are
still denied free ingress and egress between the separate states. The
lynch law enforces Jim Crowism, backs up segregation and discrim-
ination and entirely curtails the economic prowess of the dusky
Americans.
As for social advancement, the memories of the terrible trage-
dies when the soldiers returned from France are vivid. Soldiers were
lynched for wearing the uniform. The southerner claimed that the
wearer was thrown upon a plane of practical equality with the sons
of the “sunny south.” The slightest attempt to break the chains of
the under dog and to set him free were met by reprisals in the form of
lynching bees.
Different schools of thought sponsored by different types of
leaders naturally offered different programs, but there is one common
point upon which all leaders and ‘would-be leaders” can agree, and
that is that the lynch law is the Nemesis and barrier in the pathway
of their people. A new administration now stands upon the threshold
of the executive offices of the nation. It is necessary and expedient
for black people to agree upon a definite plan and program for the
destruction of their arch enemy. It is agreed that a federal law
against this crime is a safe and sane remedy, provided that proper
and effective enforcing measures will be adopted. This government
has just worked out to perfect and minute detail the involved and
complicated machinery of successful conscription. It has also de-
stroyed its arch enemy, alcohol, and is enforcing its burial rites with
deftness and dispatch. The government can successfully combat
lynchings. Congress in its legislative capacity can create adequate
laws in the form of a federal amendment.
Before the ides of March a meeting of black men to determine
methods of procedure should be held. All parliamentary conven-
tionalities and ‘questions of personal privileges” as weil as selfish
petty jealousies should be left behind. Representatives from the
churches, the press, the N. A. A. C. P., the Universal Negro Improve-
ment Association, The Equal Rights League, the Universities and the
fraternal orders should gather in one serious, solemn conclave. One
grand, great, determined effort should be made to agree upon the
means of freedom and liberty. The black people must be either
defended by Congress or seck other methods. Let us try the new
Congress first. Who will cail the meeting?

Ho says that it Is not his fault and

Yours is a very hard situation.
‘There are several ways of helping you

Dear Madame:
Can I get a divorce without paying
any money down at first?
Yes, under certain circumstances.
You Will have to tell me more about
your financial condition and the
whereabouts of your husband and then
1 can answer you more intelligently.
Dear Miss Anderson:
T became very fond of d man while 1
was living with my husband who is
shiftless and expects me to support
him while he gambles his money away.
This man promised me that he would
provide for me and pay. my way if 1
would get 4 divoree. He cannot marry
ine for # very good reason which T do
not care to state, What would you ad-
vise me to do?
Be off with the old before you are on
with the new. Remember that prom-
ises are like ple crust—meant to. be
broken, and that all is not gold that
glistens. Iam afraid “the yery good
reason” why he cannot marry you is
still a better reason-why you should
not listen to his honied, words while
you are the wife of another. even tho"
he is not just the husband you would
want him to be. Tf you do not want
him and cannot live with him any
longer, divorce him. Then if the
other ian has remedied the very good
reason which you do not care to state
and is in @ position to offer you honor-
able marriage, and you know you will
be happy with him, marry him. There
ure several very good tests of the
other man’s intentions which T might
tell you of; all of them applied should
still cause’ you to hesitate before tak-
ing such « radical step

GERMAN WOMEN ANSWER
THE BEVERIDGE LIES

descendants of the convicts Oglethorpe brought from England, are loud
in their denunciation of black soldiers placed on German soil by the League
of Nations, and while southern congressmen are asking our government to
Fequest the removal of these black sodliers, German women, the “victims”
of the presence of these black men, are unstinted in their praise of the con-
duct of the troopers from the “dark continent.”
‘The WHIP herewith presents the German side of the controversy, re-
produced from an official German source, showing how misplaced and un-
warranted is American sympathy for the “black horror” the Germans are now
said to be experiencing.

(Flint (Mich.) Journal, Jan. 3.
There has been a gratifying demon

menace any one, may be contributing te
a better understanding of the danger.
In 1920 there were sixty-one instances
of mob murder, and compared with
eight-three the previous year and sixty
four two years ago shows encouraging
progress in sipholding the law against
the mob, But it is not the numerical
decrease that is so encouraging as the
fact that fifty-six attempts at Iyneh-
