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. VOL.

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.

CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JANUARY 22nd, 1921 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."

Prohibition Agent, in the Government laboratory. 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." EAT A WHITE MAN AND LIVE 100 YEARS, SAY BANDIT 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. Photo from Underwood & Underwood, New York 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.

C., Jan. 19.—An armed posse is tonight scouring the woods in the vicinity of Lone Star searching for Richard Fogle, charged with the killing of Earl Wadford, white. The trouble is said to have started in a quarrel over the ownership of a quantity of fresh pork. Fogle is reported to be hiding in the woods bareheaded and barefooted, and prediction is freely made of his lynching if he is captured.

NORTH GEORGIA TOWNS IN STATE OF PANIC Lodge Halls Burned, Homes Shot Up, Farmers and Laborers Driven From the Soil; Whites Admit Serious Economic Situation. GAINESVILLE, Ga., Jan. 19.—The critical racial situation which has obtained in northern portions of Hall county since last Friday when notices that no Negro would be permitted to remain "north of the Chattahoochee in Hall county" were anonymously served by hand and through the mails upon residents has steadily grown worse, according to dispatches received from Gainesville Tuesday night. The number of refugees who have come into Gainesville for protection is running well up into the hundreds. The problem of feeding and housing has become serious. Trouble within (Continued on Page 8.) 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. To The You Know 'Em Editor "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! ICE CREAM In spite of the steady MOUNTING cost of all staple food products, ice cream has been growing in popularity and total consumption.

ALL PHONES CANAL 2948 CHICAGO 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.

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.

Nuf sed. Come! By Mildred Bryant--Jones 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."

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. TUBERCULOSIS Dr. Glass has positive proof that he is able to cure tuberculosis by inhalation in any climate. For further information address The F. F. GLASS INHALANT CO. Mason Building LOS ANGELES, CAL 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. J OSCAR CHARLESTON Outfielder Indianapolis A. B. C.'s. 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. CARLISLE DEFEATS HAMPTON.28-27 E. A. Wilson HAMPTON, Va., Jun. 19.—The Carlisle Club of Washington, D. C., brought forth the fastest basketball team seen here for years. The "Seasiders" were in great form and the visitors found things very interesting for them. The "Seasiders" started the game by getting a five-point lead.

UP-REACH MAGAZINE 4345 Vincennes Ave., Chicago THE CHICAGO WHIP ORTS The California 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 AB R. H. O. A.

Ray was ably assisted by Joe Pirrone's slugging All Stars, especially Artemus Griggs, who tickled the little pill for a brace of triples. A big crowd was on hand and the rival rosters had a joyous and strenuous afternoon of it. King Curry, pitcher for the Sox, was rewarded by Rogan in the sixth. The same two teams play at the Sox park.

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.

STINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOUR- NALISM, WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. 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? BOXER DONS|DRESS T0 CAPTURE PROWLER DANVILLE, Ky.

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.

Two large lumber mills, one a million- dollar concern, are operating under armed guards in an effort to retain employes. A few farmers have armed their tenants with shotguns and maintain regular patrols, while others are crippled by the resulting labor shortage. According to statements made by citizens of Gainesville, the trouble had its origin back in’ February. of 1920, when a man was caught steak ing a washpot from his employer. ‘The thief's home was shot up by un- known parties, The antagonism and prejudice increased rapidly, leading to the burning of lodges and. homes throughout that portion of _ the county, These citizens declared that no overt crime on the part of Negroes was responsible for the outbreak in ‘February nor for that of more recent date. They stated that the majority who have been forced to Ace thei liomes possess good reputations in their communities. Many of © the reiugees are said to be taxpaying citi- zens who have been forced to aban- don property of considerable value. Plan Armed Patrols. ‘There was some recrudescence of the trouble this past fall when farm: were first posted and laborers were first warned that they must leave the county. It was at this time, accord: ing to the statements of citizens jn close touch with the situation, that certain white men determined to. re- tain and protect their employes and tesorted to armed patrols as the only effective means, This course of action on the part of whites brought a number” ol threats against their own property and personal safety, r ‘THE CHICAGO WHIP Ve 1.

Editorial Note—While American women of southern white ancestry, 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. Corroboration from a German source of official denials by the French government of the repeated charges voiced in the German press and else Where of wholesale abuses of women and children committed by the French colored troops garrisoned in the occupied territory along the Rhine is found in an article written by Lilli Jannasch in Die Frau in Staat, In beginning her article, which is entitled “Black Disgrace—White Dis- grave.” the writer points out that she is not defending the use of black sol- tiers in Europe, She says “And how about the black disgrace? 1 fived a year iu the occupied tex ritory ina little place garrisoned for mouths by several hundred black sol dicrs, ‘The chief official of the district assured me that during the entire time there had been no attacks upon women or children. In fact, the blacks had hecome quite popular. And I heard the same opinion from the people In many cases the blacks share id their meals with the children of the neigh: porhoot “Prom Ludwigshafen a lady said to me last summer when I questioned her: ‘When we notice how scandalously our white women and girls make friends with the blacks, how they flirt and accept gifts of chacolate, etc., we are not surprised if a misfortune occurs,’ In fact, we know from our own Observation that many white women find something alluring in entering into Close relations with blacks, This we have frequently been able to verity when members of Negra tribes were placed on exhibition in Germany. At the time of the industrial exhibition in Berlin, for example, it repeatedly hap: pened that Negroes on exhibition there disappeared for several days, and it was town talk that women of ‘good society’ had been entertaining the Ne grocs, Similar things have happened in cities in all parts of Germany, espe cially in Hamburg.

Journal, Jan. 3. There has been a gratifying demon stration of increased determination to uphold the law against the mab in sev eral southern states, according to the lynching records for 1920, and the hope is strengthened that this reproach mas be removed from the United States tnuch sooner than we had dared hope a fow years ago, Instances of the spread of the lynching contagion to other sec tions aud the fact thag eight at the vie tims in the last twelve months were white. together with the demonstration that toleration of the niob spirit: may 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- ing were prevented by officers of the jaw and. forty-six of these were in the South. Armed force was nsed tp protect the prisoners in fourteen of these and in four of them mobs. were fired upon, seven rioters being killed and many wounded, The lynching record for the year just ended, humiliating though it be is at Teast an improvement on that of 1919, although not much better than two years ago.
