WOULD LYNCH GARVEY'S FOES Editor Cooke's Slayer On Trial At Gary GARVEY CRITIC THREATENED WITH ROPE PRICE 5 CENTS WOU Editor EX-MINISTER FACES TRIAL FOR MURDER Family Feud Features Sensational Murder, Trial In Gary GARY, Ind., Feb. 16—With the expectation that spectacular charges and counter charges will be made in the course of the trial of C. C. Carter, examinier and mail carrier of this city, now on trial for the murder of J. D. Cooke, 1751 Washington St., late editor and publisher of the Gary Defender and Sun, the proceedings are being watched with keen interest. Began With Family Feud It is well known that the killing of Editor Cooke grew out of a family feud between Cooke and Carter, Cooke and Carter had married two sisters of the Hampton family from Oklahoma. Mrs. Zenobia Bagby-Carter, the wife of the slayer, and the sister of the wife of the slain man, is one of the leading business women of Gary, Shortly before the tragedy Mr. and Mrs. Carter were separated, when it was rumored that Carter had another wife living in Michigan City, Ind. During their separation Carter began the organization of an insurance company, using, it is said, his large family connections to win the confidence of his clientele. At this point Editor Cooke publishes notices in his paper to the effect that he and his family were in no way connected with Carter's insurance scheme. Thus began the feud. Editor Cooke Shot Dead In the course of the feud which raged bitter on both sides of the family, several spicy charges were made on both sides. These charges finally culminated in an open quarrel between the ex-minister and the editor in which Cooke was shot dead. Carter is now on trial for his life, and the prosecuting attorney has asked the death penalty for the slayer. Carter hopes to escape the electric chair at Michigan City by putting up a plea of self defense. The trial is expected to run into the latter part of the week. FLORIDA LYNCHING LOOKS LIKE A MOVIE REHEARSAL WAUCHULA, Fla. Feb. 16—Moving picture producers would pay big money for film thrillers which could compare with the latest antics of Southern white beasts in this city. After being accused by a white girl in Zolfo, a small town near here, Ben Campbell boarded a passing train and fled to this city. At the same time whites from Zolfo, 200 strong, chartered automobiles and raced through the country in a mad effort to intercept the fleeing man. Reaching here a few minutes before his pursuers, Campbell fled to the city jail for refuge. Undaunted, the mob broke the jail, hanged Campbell to a telephone post, and riddled his body with bullets. SLAYER STANDS OFF 250 POLICE FOR 5 HRS PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 16.—Two hundred and fifty police reserves surrounded a house in Fagin place early Thursday where "Alabama Joe," a giant, had harricled himself. After a battle lasting nearly five hours, they broke into the room where the fugitive was hiding and riddled his body with bullets. He was probably fatally wounded. Three patrolmen were shot during the siege. Earlier in the evening, after he had killed an unidentified colored woman in the house, he went to another room, where he defied the police. He had two revolvers and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. In addition to all police reserves in South Philadelphia, firemen played an important part in rescuing a woman and two children from the upper floor of the house. Streams of water from lines of hose swept through the house, breaking windows in an effort to subdue the madman. "A PAPER WITH A POLICY" The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY Dr. Mitchell On Trial For Poisoning Nephew MACON, Ga., Feb. 16.—Dr. M. C. Mitchell, druggist, of this city, whose friends and acquaintances throughout the country were startled when he was arrested on charges of poisoning his nephew here, is now on trial for his life. It is charged that Dr. Mitchell poisoned his nephew, Henry Mitchell, an ex-soldier, for the purpose of obtaining $24,000 in insurance policies, payable to the druggist in event of the death of his nephew. Maj. H. G. Lightner, United States Public Health Service, was one of the principal witnesses for the state. Major Lightner said he was present at the time when young Mitchell's body was exhumed. He declared that more than 15 grains of morphine were found in the boy's body. The state has asked the death penalty in case the doctor is convicted. THE 'MESSENGER' FACES PETITION FOR BANKRUPTCY THE 'MESSENGER' FACES PETITION FOR BANKRUPTCY NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 16.—Victor R. Daly, formerly business manager of the "Messenger," the well known radical magazine published by Chandler Owen and Asa Randolph, has filed a petition for bankruptcy with the Sheriff of New York County against the Messenger Publishing Co., Inc. Several months ago Mr. Daly was awarded a judgment of $962 against the corporation for unpaid salary during the time of his employment with the Messenger. Failure to satisfy the judgment has resulted in the filing of the petition by James S. Watson, attorney for Mr. Daly. Upwards of 250 stockholders in the Messenger Publishing Co.; will be affected financially if the firm is forced into bankruptcy. SHERIFF'S FORGETFULNESS SAVES MAN'S LIFE MONROE, La., Feb. 16—Sheriff Arthur Grant, of Monroe, late today received a letter from Governor Parker, under date of February 8, indicating the governor may extend executive slemency in the case of Lonnie Eaton, whom the sheriff forgot to hang last Friday, and that the black man will be sentenced to the state penitentiary for life. The letter in effect says that Attorney General A. V. Coco is making an investigation and that the proposition has also been placed before the board of pardons "where the result will be that Eaton will probably get a life sentence." Governor Parker has informed the sheriff it will be impossible for Ouachaite parish to proceed with the hanging under the order which called for the execution last Friday. Sheriff Grant is preparing to leave for Baton Rouge and will take up the matter with the governor. He issued a formal statement late today as to his failure to hang the condemned man. He said: "The reason I overlooked the matter is because Eaton has been in jail at Shreveport for three years and I was not, therefore reminded of the matter." Monroe residents are almost universally agreed Eaton's sentence should be commuted to life imprisonment. They declare that fate has intervened to save him and that he should be dealt with accordingly. Prominent attorneys also say that Eaton should never have been convicted of murder, but that he should be punished for manslaughter. Lonnie Eaton and Will Flournoy, went on trial in the Sixth District Court at Monroe during the early part of 1918 for the McQuiller murder, which occurred in December, 1917. Both were sentenced to be hanged last August, but Flournoy's sentence was commuted to life imprisonment, while Eaton got a reprieve of ninety days, and later a second ninety-day reprieve. Eaton, in jail in Shreveport, has constantly expressed the belief he would not be hanged and said he was not guilty of murder and the "white folks" would find a way to rescue him. He has always maintained a stolid indifference as to the case and now looks on the result as what was to have been expected. expected.

HINT FRAMEUP IN STEVENS BRIBE CASE Friends of Ernest Stevens, prohibition agent, 3510 Michigan Ave, who was arrested for alleged bribery, claim that the whole affair is in the nature of a frameup. Several weeks ago Stevens started police circles when he caused the arrest of two plain clothes policemen of the Harrison Street station who attempted to break in upon him while they were intoxicated. Since then it is said that the word has gone out to "get" Stevens. The incident upon which Stevens was arrested occurred at the home of John White, 3418 Vernon Ave. It is alleged that White had agreed to pay $200 to Stevens for immunity on a booze charge and that when Stevens went to collect the money he was arrested. 32 DEAD IN PATH OF GEORGIA TORNADO OCONEE, Ga., Feb. 16.—A tornado which struck the Gardiner settlement one mile from here shortly after noon last Thursday brought death to 52 people including 2 whites. A stretch of land extending from Oconee almost to Toomsboro, in Washington County, nearly five miles long and about a half mile wide is as barren as a prairie tonight, not a building or a tree left standing. Approximately forty houses were blown down in the Gardiner settlement. The bodies of several small boys were found in trees. Doctors found one boy with a board driven into his head. They removed the board and gave the boy temporary relief, but he died soon after. The body of a three-months' old baby was found at the root of a tree, which had been twisted up by the roots. The infant's head was crushed. The bodies of several grown people were swept from the dinner table and later found in a semicircle in a cornfield. Chickens that escaped death in the path of the storm were in many instances plucked of their feathers. There were many animals killed. MUST HAVE WARRANT TO MAKE BOOZE RAID CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 16.—The entry into a private garage without warrant or permission on a mission of search and seizure by federal prohibition agents is unlawful, Judge John W. Peck ruled here last week. "The right of the people to be secure in their homes against unreasonable search is not limited to dwelling houses, but extends to garages, shops, warehouses, and even safety deposit vaults," he said. "An unlawful search cannot be justified by what is found." EXTRA LATEST SPORT NEWS EIGHT PAGES Y'S It Gary Says White Woman Aided Him in Thefts. When he was arrested for burglarizing the home of Mrs. Dora Levine, 933 Margate Terrace, Thomas Jones told the police a startling story. Jones described as his comrade in crime a stylishly dressed white woman driving an expensive car, who, he said, acted as his accomplice in nearly a hundred burglaries. Jones says the woman, for whom the police are searching, would drive to the Vernon Hotel, 35th St. and Cottage Grove Ave., and carry him to the scene of a robbery. The woman would then ring the bell of the apartment and if no one was at home, Jones would "jimmy" a window and make off with the loot. She would pawn it, he says. Police have been unable to apprehend her so far. DALLAS EXPRESS GETS KU KLUX KLAN WARNING DALLAS EXPRESS GETS KU KLUX KLAN WARNING DALLAS, Texas. Feb. 16.—Unless the Dallas Express, one of the strongest and best known publications in the South cases writing news articles against the Ku Klux Klan and lynchings, it will run out of business, according to a notice signed Ku Klux and sent to the Express office by mail. It reads: "The Dallas Express, Dallas, Texas. "We are rapidly organizing the Famous Ku Klux Klan in this City to keep forever inviolate the Constitution and make this a white man's Country—also to Protect both Races humble and ignorant. We are Convinced that Negroes like yourself & staff are Enemies of Poor ignorant Negroes trying to incite them to Rebellion no one pays any attention to it but ignorant Coons like yourself now we propose to let you do business provided you tell the truth and cut out trying to incite trouble between the Races if you Keep it up there will be a Negro massacre now don't think We Don't Know you—We are here to keep Order, and much better hang Coons like you than kill thousands of ignorant Coons Don't let Us hear of any more boasting lies in your paper the Press of the Country has not taken it up yet but We have and believe us. We've been Coon hunting before—Yours for Law & Order even though it takes Death." Express Retorts In its current editorial the Express answers the poorly worded threat by saying: "We have said and will say that we believe that the Ku Klux Klan is unnecessary; does not tend toward the advancement of American ideals, should not be allowed to spread its pernicious doctrines further. "An agency for law and order would have declared itself differently, would have given its location so that its contentions might be answered and would at least have followed the dictates of courtesy and chivalry to the extent of having penned its missive in it. "We have claimed that any and all extra legal means of dealing with crime are tacit confessions of the public which allows them, that the laws which it has made are useless and effectual. We believe this to be the truth. We make no excuse for having so spoken." BOMB FLORIDA HOMES SUSPECT KU KLOX JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 16.—Police are endeavoring to run down what slender clues they possess as to the identity of persons who last week dynamited two homes across the river in South Jacksonville. Investigation by authorities disclosed that two sticks of dynamite had been placed under the home of William Bell, causing two separate explosions. Bell escaped injury, although his home was demolished. The corner was torn from an adjoining unoccupied house. Homes in the vicinity of the explosion were recently placarded with notices warning occupants to leave. The notices were signed "K. K. K," but officials of the Klan deny any connection whatever with the matter. PRICE FIVE CENTS FOES GARVEY CRITIC THREATENED WITH ROPE W. Ashby Hawkins' Hot Attack on Garvey Movement Leads to Indignant Outburst and Lynch-ing Threats BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 14. When the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the organization which was founded by Marcus Garvey, was holding a meeting in the Trinity Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon was attacked and criticised by W. Ashby Hawkins, a lawyer of the black race who recently ran for Senator, cries of "Lynch him," "Take him down from there," "Let me at him," and "Soak him in the eye" brought the otherwise orderly meeting to an impromptu adjournment. Calls Garvey Movement "Bosh" According to Rev J. 'J', Cranston, presiding officer, Mr. Hawkins was invited, to say a word. He forthwith launched into an attack upon Garveyism. Mr. Hawkins is alleged to have said that it was mere bosh. He continued by asking how many present owned land in Africa. Nearly every hand went up in reply. "Then where title and deed?" asked the speaker. Spills the Beans This question irritated the members and outcries against Mr. Hawkins was heard on all sides. Only prompt adjournment by Rev. Cranston saved Mr. Hawkins from serious bodily harm. The audience marched out to the tune of "Onward, Christian Soldiers," at the suggestion of the quick-witted presiding officer. SHERIFF AND GOVERNOR FIGHT OVER GOLDSBY'S RELEASE JACKSON, Miss., Feb. 16.-R. T. Goldsby, who created a sensation last summer by charging that he paid ex-Gov. Bilbo, $3,000 for his pardon from the state penitentiary, is still in the limelight. This time the governor and the sheriff of Warren County are fighting over his custody. Goldsby was recently pardoned by the governor, but Sheriff Shannon refused to release him on the grounds that he had not been officially notified of the pardon. By the time official notification was delivered, Goldsby was released by the sheriff, only to be picked up immediately by an officer on a new indictment sworn out. Sheriff Shannon says that he is determined that Goldsby shall serve the five years he is sentenced to. He says that he will see to it that Goldsby's case is continued and not brought to trial for several months to come. The governor will be unable to pardon Goldsby until after he is brought to trial. BOY WITH WHITE PARENTS BUT BLACK BLOOD BARRED FROM SCHOOL FREDERICK. Md., Feb. 16—Judge Glenn H. Worthington, of the Juvenile Court of Emmitsburg was called upon to settle the most perplexing case of his career when Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ridge, white, were brought into court to explain the continued absence of their boy from school. It developed that the boy had been sent home from school by his teacher on the grounds that he was a "Negro" and therefore ineligible to enter the school in question. The Ridges refused to send their child to a school set apart for "Negroes," and the upshot of the whole thing was that the child remained at home. After an examination by physicians, it was announced that the boy was certainly not of "pure white blood," and Judge Worthington concurred in this opinion. After hearing the opinion of the physicians, the judge suggested to the parents that they move across the line into Pennsylvania "where mixed schools exist." NO CLUE TO LYNCHERS PLAQUEMINE, La., Feb. 10.—In the investigation into the lynching of George Werner about a week ago, the Grand Jury returned the usual report: "Insufficient evidence to warrant an indictment." UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. Henry Lincoln Johnson is alleged to have stated that he has the choice of several good jobs at his disposal. Such jobs are to be given by Mr. Harding, the President. If Mr. Johnson handles these jobs no better than he did the Speakers Bureau in Chicago he will be kicked out before he gets his first months check. The newspapers of the black man are worrying the public into frenzies with news articles containing the phrase "Our Group." Others refer to us as "Race Men." This is a whole lot of balderdash. Why not state that we are members of the black race and be done with it. Are we ashamed of our racial affiliations. Robert L. Mays is interested, it is said, in the disposal of the stock of a Mutual Insurance Company. Mr. Mays will do well to interest himself in the railroad men's affairs. The railroad boys are gradually being forced into pre-war inconveniences and if the President of their organization has any real leadership character about him, he will go to the front for the boys. Mr. Mays must think that he is Caesar, that is he can read, write, eat, dictate a letter and command an army at the same time. Bunkum. Senator Vail of South Carolina is peeved at Judge Landis of the Federal Court because of his attacks on profiteers, etc. Senator Vail wished to have the judge impeached. The Senator is sadly silent on lynching, mob violence, extenuating exploitation of child labor in his cotton mills. This is an example of the kind of sentiment in the heart of the solid south. The recent election in South Africa at which time the Africans voted to stay under the protectorate of Great Britain is indicative of the fact that the natives who are in the majority were either brow-beaten or entirely ignorant. Because of the presence of General Smuts in South Africa we are inclined to believe the former. says: Of all of the various species of the human type, none is more despicable as the man or woman who carries the hammer. The strange thing about this type of people is that they seem to thrive on the misfortunes and disadvantages of other people. Their presence and activities are noticeable in all walks of life, especially among those who are succeeding. In the newspaper world, where as a rule, are supposed to be found a superior intelligence, because of the vocation, yet in this field can be found those small souls who are more energetic with their hammers than with their pens. Often in business pursuits, in conversations relating to the progress of journalism, you will find that "knockout" has proceeded and left his colleagues in your way. This influence does not apply to real newspaper men, but it is rather a part of that type of journalist whose path of training began either in a bar room or corn field and almost ended there. They never have a good word to say about anybody or any institution. Their stock in trade is "Oh, they don't amount to anything." If they refer to a newspaper other than the one which is giving them their means of livelihood, they always say, "Oh, they have no circulation." Strange about these "scissors editors." They often find a fruitful field in which to sow their seeds and willing ears into which to pour their half cocked and immature opinions. For a long time one of these blatant-mouthed sub-editors has made a specialty of going to various tradesmen and advertisers telling them that other newspapers had no circulation. Most of his attempts have fallen upon dears as the people now know just about what is what. Fortunately for this small business, they are more charitable to him than he is to others or else there might be some investigation, the information from which would not be pleasant reading to the poor small soul in question. In the time of war spies are shot. In the time of peace they are loathed and despised and are considered as menaces to the community. It pays to watch very carefully any man or woman who has nothing good to say about anyone or anything. Let the knockers beware. Get a horn and be a booster or keep quiet. Hundreds to Write Linton's Name in Ballot With head bent, but not bowed Wm. C. Linton, candidate for alderman from the Second Ward, is wagging a silent campaign throughout the Second Ward for voters to write his name in on the ballot on election day.

WHY NOT SEE HIM AND TAKE OUT A POLICY NOW? WHY NOT KEEP ABREAST WITH THE TIMES? "NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL NOSEY was hanging around that popular apartment building or Indiana Avenue when he saw one of his old friends enter in a hurry and later another friend of Nosey hustled into the building going as Nosey knew to deliver the package to his wife. Four minutes later a queer looking individual hurried out. It was dressed in a ladies' fur coat and its dress hung like the last rose of summer. The thing that gave it all away was the patent leather shoes which were the same that went into the building on the feet of the first man. To check up on things, Nosey went up to the flat and found the loving couple arguing about where the wife's fur coat had gone. Nosey did not butt in the family discussion but he winked at the wife and she winked back at him and then he knew that the first man that entered was that funny figure going out in disguise. You have to give it to some people for their presence of mind. ONLY MEN are supposed to have the license to smoke, but Nosey stumbled into a party of society folks and found out that every brand of tobacco from Milo cigarettes to Plow Boy was in use and the life of the party was the little black-haired who amused the whole gathering of university people with her little dog whom she had taught to smoke an old pipe. Nosey saw in this group the solution to the mystery of his dissapearing cigarettes when out to social functions where there were mostly ladies. Nosey decided then to put some black dye in his cigarette pocket and when out the next night saw the tell tale black marks on the fingers of seven real OLD ladies and now Nosey is at his wits' end to avoid these cigarette fiends among the ladies and has almost decided to quit smoking rather than supply tobacco to these ladies who not only keep their husbands without cigarettes but the light-fingered skill keep poor single men without the bitter weed. Nosey will now load his cigarettes with dynamite to keep these burglar's away. SOMETIMES YOU see things and you don't see them. Nosey saw a fat dark lady push her ample form down the street the other night. She was carrying one of these black brief bags and she was going south on South Park Avenue and one of Chicago's leading citizens was coming north. As he was just abreast of her she held out the bag and he took it. No word was passed. Nothing but the black brief case. Nosey could not follow both and decided on the gentleman who ended his march north to 31st Street and entered a near bear saloon. He opened the bag in a booth and took out one of the jighest yard birds Nosey ever saw with the best assortment of biscuits and other goodies that made Nosey's big mouth run water. This was about nine o'clock in the evening. Now this happens every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday night. Nosey knows I know you know Chicago's vegetarian tenor. Of course you know him because his entire menu seems to consist of one vegetable, one and inseparable, now henceforth forever—the onion! Wonderful power in his voice and breath. You must know that prominent young bachelor who has all of the ladies and girls guessing about his "winter chateau in Florida." Well you tell the poor girls that he changes that evening suit for a cook's cap and apron at one of the South Side restaurants. I know you know that "see-saw" beauty parlor. Oh, you must know it because there is a funny way that the front door closes for the night and then the back door opens for that "special" visitor. THE CHICAGO WHIP now why this man boasts about what "special" meals he gets and Nosey also knows now why he never goes home for dinner. It will be alright until the lady loses her job. EVERY TIME Nosey goes to the Armory he stunches up on some kind of a quarrel. After the game the other night Nosey tried to go straight home but had to listen to a squabble between a lady who is very popular at the 40 Club basketball games and a gentleman who insists on wearing a derby hat even in the summer time. She was trying to convince him that if he went home with her she would get into trouble as her friends were beginning to notice that she danced more with him than her husband when he was in town. She was not sure that he was in town that night as he had been acting queerly lately. They ate together at 35th Street's popular night restaurant and Nosey saw her leave him there and get a taxi. The lady sure had the correct hint because the good husband sauntered in later and the dapper man with the derby decided then and there to go home even though he knew his wife was going to make his life miserable that night. A woman's intuition is worth your life sometimes and "old derby" knows it now. YOU HAVE never seen anything funny until you see a "coming out" party like Nosey saw about 2 a.m. in the alley behind Vernon Avenue. The gent cannot see the door or he did not have time to get to it because he "came out" of the party through the window. He left his overcoat behind and one of the other gentlemen claimed it. The wife explained to the detained husband that "Jimmy," one of those still present threw a cup at a cat. As Nosey came in the house with the man who was not a magician but who made one man "disappear" he knows how to get that good brown overcoat back if properly approached. As Nosey is seldom in the office of THE WHIP, the gentleman will please leave his message and Nosey will communicate with him. No reward is asked, either.

Change Firm Name NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Following the announcement of a few weeks ago that the Pace Phonograph Corporation of New York had been organized to reproduce Negro Music, using exclusively Negro voices, notice was served on the Pace Phonograph Music Co., of which Mr. Harry H. Pace president, by two large white phonograph record companies that it need not expect any more of its published music to be reproduced by them. It later developed that practically every one of the record companies had read the announcement which had been taken or sent to them by certain colored men desirous of starting such trouble, and had reached an understanding that no more songs published by the music publishing firm of Pace & Handy Music Company would be brought out on their records. After a consultation with attorneys and friends of the publishing house, Mr. Pace decided to retire from all connection with Pace & Handy Music Company, publishers, and the charter of the Company was amended so as to change the name to Handy Bros. Music Company. The firm will now consist of Messrs. W. C. Handy and C. B. Handy, who will conduct the business as formerly with Mr. Pace giving his entire time to the Pace Phonograph Corporation with offices at 257 West 138th St., New York City. In respect to this matter, Mr. Pace states: "The opposition of the white companies to the entry of a race organization into the phonograph record producing field makes me all the more determined to give the race representation in an entirely new field of business endevor, and convinces me of the necessity of preserving our race music and preserving for our children the wonderful voices and musical talent we have in the race. The public wants the kind of records I shall put out and they will get them no matter who objects." By A. N. Fields The vigorous attitude of States Attorney Crowe in cleaning up the vice and criminal elements in Cook County and in Chicago have given the lie to his political traduces as well as inspiration to the friends of good government. It is not expected that he will be able to eradicate all of the evils in a few weeks which had years of growth under his predecessor. Bomb throwing, gambling and vice flourish in the county districts for eight years without fear of molestation but his short term clearly indicates that those who delegated unto themselves the right to speak for him and we have taken the position that the continuation of bomb throwing and vice will be safe commodities in the future are reckoning without their hosts. It is quite probable that many of the cohorts of vice and corruption have been bullied into a repose of satisfaction with the thought that they will be permitted to continue their nefarious practices with ease and comfort but from the conspicuous examples of law enforcements now being put into operation by the county prosecutor have proven their assurance of safety to have been but a fleeting shadow made by a passing cloud. The unimpeachable character of former Judge Crowe sustained by several years of honorable service as Chief Justice of the criminal court is of itself positive proof that citizens of every creed and racial identity need have no apprehension of his failure to carry out his pre-campaign pledges. It can be expected that he can consummate instantly every pledge made by him during his campaign, the fact that many evils complained of have years of growth, precludes the mere mention of the need for remedy. To this end however the cooperation and moral support is solicited from every good citizen. ANNOUNCEMENT.

You May Talk To One Man But an advertisement in this paper talks to the whole community Catch the Idea? OLD CRIME CENTER AGAIN BECOMES ACTIVE Hold Up Spectacular; Drunken Young Girls Saturday evening about 11 o'clock two men staged a holdup in the alley between Dearborn and LaSalle Streets on 27th Street. It is reported that a pedestrian was beaten and threatened by the two young men whilst a nearby spectator was known by them to have been looking at the proceedings. They were not caught. A tip came to the Stanton avenue station Monday morning that these two men were thought to be at the corner of Dearborn and 27th Street. The men found there proved to be working men and possessing identification cards. The officers left. Immediately afterward two other young men appeared smiling upon the scene and were pointed out to the reporter as resembling the men seen by the spectator on Saturday evening performing the holdup. These are being questioned and their activities investigated. Men in the vicinity of 27th and La-Salle and also in front of the saloon at 27th and Federal who have not been known to work for the entire winter but who usually have something to sell or to pawn to the neighbors or to passersby. Two young women are said to have been taken from the vicinity of this saloon in such intoxicated condition recently that the ambulance was called and removed them for safe keeping and medical attention. It will be remembered that a few years ago this neighborhood was a flagrant scene of crime. It is thought that it has again broke out and efforts are being made to clean it up at once.

John Lewis was held on an additional charge of impersonating an officer. It is charged that Lewis and his wife induced several people to give them articles of clothing, saying they were going to take them for a few days and put luck into them, and then return them to the owners. In most cases they were never returned. When Lewis was accused of carrying a pistol, he claimed to be a United States detective, and produced a plumber's union badge from Birmingham to back up the argument. EXPLOSION KILLS 4 IN AUGUSTA, GA. AUGUSTA, Ga., Feb. 16.—Two explosions of unknown origin killed four men outright, injured five whites and caused property damage estimated at $150,000 late Wednesday afternoon at the local freight depot of the Southern Railway. While freight-handlers were loading a consignment of 7,500 flares from the Augusta Arsenal from the depot to railroad cars for shipment to Charleston, a terrific explosion occurred, killing four men, injuring the others and demolishing a part of the depot. Fire spread rapidly after the explosion and firemen had just arrived to fight the flames when a second explosion occurred as the flames reached the flares. Two firemen were injured by this explosion and further destruction and confusion followed.

The Monogram Ella Goodloe and Company playing the "Little Majestic" this week, has enraptured the natives that frequent this little amusement resort. Her offering is clean and wholesome and her costuming very good. One of the novel features is the unusual prologue opening ensemble, good, yes, very good. Cliff Ross, a funny comedian is natural and in a class by himself. Ike Young, doing the straight is classy in appearance and efficient in dialogue. "Monk" makes a fine angel for offering and a young lady sings a ballad excellently. Hester Kenton, who we are always glad to see is an amusing piece of humanity and puts over a blue song only to respond to three encores. Ella Goodloe is a real performer, demonstrating in her variation of "Bring Back the Joys," a number well portrayed by this clever artist. Ike Young and a young lady put over cleverly "I Miss My Mammy's Kissin'" and Cliff Ross was perfection in monologue and song. Really this is a fine show—good looking girls n' everything.

The American Legion Post George L Giles Bulletin No. 2, Extracts. Slogan: All for each; each for all— 1921 will reward Fighters. (a) The post through its Entertainment Committee offers a three-fold attraction for all legionaires, their ex-service buddies and friends and relatives of the fair sex. First, a vaudeville program; second, a boxing match in which the "Old Eighth," will be a principal; and third, a dance with musicurnished by Mill's Jazz Orchestra. Come out and join us, buddy: Let us laugh and enjoy together the vaudeville stunts; let us, as ring-side spectators, urge on the boxers in their lively scrap; and come, let's say, "On with the dance," and trip merrily together the "light fantastic toe." Remember the time, Thursday evening at 8 o'clock sharp, Feb. 17th, 1921, Place, Post Headquarters, 3201 South Wahash Avenue. (b) The success of the Post is largely dependent upon the development of an Auxiliary to it. The wives, mothers, and sisters of all Legion members are eligible; and now we want all legionaires to bring the female members of their families to the meeting mentioned above. It is the plan to organize then and there the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Giles Post. (c) Regular meetings: 1st and 3rd Thursday at 8 P. M. sharp. Community Notes The drive for funds to continue South Side Community Service has been extended to Monday, Feb. 21st. The fortunate colored persons have yet an opportunity to assume a larger share of responsibility toward less fortunate ones and to cease expecting the whites to carry the greater part of the burden. The time between now and Monday gives the people of the South Side a chance to make good their utterances of September 30th, when Mr. Marshall Field withdrew his support. Then it was said, "The people want South Side Community Service. They are ready to support institutions for their own welfare." Now is the time to do it. Recreation plants are not run on hot air. "Stick up or shut up, South Side." The Northwestern. P. S. L. Circle, directed by Miss Francis Payne, paid a return visit to the South Side Community Service P. S. L. Red Circle, supervised by Mrs. Irene Gaines. The dramatic production given by the Northwestern Circle was one of which its president, Miss Awarda Isaac, can be proud of. Mrs. Heather direction two years, and Miss Alma Howell, president of the community circle led in showing their guests how hospitable the South Side can be. The two circles closed the evening pleasantly with social recreation, group singing, refreshments, and complimentary yelling. READ IT IN THE'WHIP' THE CHICAGO WHIP AG PUBLIC MORAL AND PUB AGE AND PUBLIC TASTE Notes Bryan--Jones LADIES' N at the Y.M.C.A., 38th St. ar Thursday evening F 8 to 11 Music Notes Musicians in general will agree that there is a definite and pressing need for more thorough training and preparation on the part of the teacher of music. There are many poorly trained and equipped teachers of music loose in the land and they are a menace to the student whose hard lot it is to fall into their hands. The time has passed when a person who can play or sing in a brilliant manner needs that power as his only requisite for teaching. Teachers of music need just as careful and extensive training to teach as teachers in any other department of art. Indeed, their training should be more exacting in its requirements than that for many other forms of teaching, as music is one of the highest and most helpful of all arts. It is not sufficient either that a natural car and inclination for music be the sum of the teachers stock in trade. He should be taught how to teach what he knows but first it must be definitely ascertained that he really does know. It is deplorable that persons of real talent often spend valuable time and energy studying with teachers who are not properly equipped for their work. There is an ever-increasing number of those students, who, after losing months or years in work with such teachers, are realizing that something is radically wrong with the type of instruction given and that they have been cheated not only in a financial way but in the matter of that which is far more valuable than money—namely, Time. The teaching profession must arouse itself and make the appeal to all who give instruction in music that they fit themselves for the work in hand and that, after being prepared, they concientially perform their duties and give forth the best instruction and the greatest possible amount of it. The Opera School started by Mr. James Mundy is doing excellent work; Mr. Mundy is the pioneer in this work among us and deserves great commendation for opening this field of musical endeavor. His chorus of probably one hundred members, a gentle splendid training and they are responding with remarkable work. Their teamwork is admirable and their attention to the details of absolute correctness in the matter of notes, good attack and release, combined with interpretation of a high order, forecast for their first opera, "Martha" a real success.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. Panderers. From a technical legal standpoint, a panderer is one who thrives upon the ill gotten gains of fallen womanhood. In most jurisdictions it is a criminal offense. In every court of conscience it is despised, loathed and condemned. It is a thing of evil. A panderer, who is commonly known in less dignified terms, is society's arch offender. He deals in the sacred commodities of human souls. He encourages the barter of human flesh which shrivels the finer sensibilities of womanhood and leaves them aimless driftwood to be eventually whirled into the seething maelstrom of the lost. Decrepid hags with dead souls and withered flesh and then the Potter's Field. This is the last chapter of the story book of the panderer. The more highly developed the civilization of races, the more protection, respect and consideration the women receive. In the savage tribes, women are given the laborious tasks and the barbarian males flit away the time in idleness. The woman is regarded as a chattel. Tenderness and firm codes of morality are foreign. The odious customs of the savages, however, fade into insignificance when compared with the offensive parasitical panderers of modern times. The black man lays claim to the highest degree of civilization in America. Of course, his claim is assailed and some assert that he is the lowest representative of the human family, entirely devoid of morals and utterly mentally deficient. The virtue of black womanhood by men of the Vardaman, Tillman and Hoke Smith school has been so vigorously questioned that to live like Caesar's wife above suspicion seems a necessary policy. Women fall and women deceive. Manhood is, however, the proximate and ultimate leverage of morality. Men are always in the chain of causation. At this time when civilization peers for an upgrade and when the black man would challenge the accusations of his enemies, the panderers who are prostituting virtue and who are contributing to the delinquencies of the fallen should be ostracised, exposed and exiled by red blooded men who honor womanhood, hold virtue sacred and seek for the respect of the world. These human parasites who are well-known have been allowed to systematize their hellish exploitation. These insipid, oily flesh pots should be condemned and exterminated by the husbands and fathers who are striving for decency and safety for their defenseless dependents. A new civilization, in which woman seeks to be a co-provider, is before us. Because we are willing to allow woman to have equal opportunities in politics and economics, it does not also mean that we forget that they are physically weaker and physiologically different from men. It does not mean that they no longer bear our children and perpetuate our blood. It does not mean that they shall toil and labor while we exist upon the profits of their toil. It does not mean that we have reverted to barbarity. Those who exist entirely either by the toil or infamy of womanhood by habit and adaptation are unfit for society. The colony of panderers is thriving in our midst. It is as contagious as leprosy. The lepers are unclean. The panderer is a moral leper. Beware! Conservatism And Radicalism In the fabric of every national life there are two opposing forces—conservatism and radicalism. Neither seems to find any virtue in the other. As a matter of fact, there is one thing to be said for conservatism; one thing that permits of a measure of good which shall be named later. THE WHIP does not oppose the conservative because it because it believes him totally worthless. It opposes him because it believes upon opposition the conservative must whet his lazy soul just as upon opposition the radical must temper his. It opposes the conservative because it is unwilling to compromise and pussyfoot upon issues vital to the republic and the people. Because it is stubbornly against accepting one grain of wheat and a handful of chaff and calling it bounteous crop of goodness. Nowhere in the history of mankind has conservatism ever accomplished a single outstanding achievement. It stood against Adam eating the apple; it was against Moses leading his tribe into the wilderness; it was against Caesar crossing the Rubicon; it opposed Martin Luther's fight for Protestanism. It was opposed to the voyage of Columbus, against George Washington's army, against the first steamboat, against wireless telegraphy, against republicanism, child labor law and even Christianity itself in the beginning, and now it stands against every blessed thing that tends to social and national justice; and at the end of time will stand blindly and solidly against the arrival of judgment day. The conservative has a shiftless creed of "laisses faire"—"let it alone." It stands with a bent back and tin can and is begging alms. He feels whatever he can get is just the thing for him. The radical squares his shoulders, extends his hand and says to opposition, "Shake, brother. And, by the way, things as they stand now cannot last. We might as well face it." In between these two, standing for orderly progress, comes the anomoly—the liberal. But in reality "there ain't no such animal." If the liberal is truly liberal, he is in spirit and in fact a radical and if he is not, he is nothing but a pussyfooting fence straddler who hasn't the self-respect and honesty to stand up under the ugly name that is due him—conservative-reactionary. The liberal therefore requires no consideration. The case, having been theoretically stated, its application to the black man in America is only too well known. Its application to the ultra-conservative leaders is sadly well known. If there is a single virtue to conservatism it is the compromise. If a partial victory is won by the radical, the conservative forthwith steps in and holds it, a thing which a radical because of the intensity of his attack could not readily do, for in many instances he loses that which he has already gained. However, there would never be anything to compromise if it were not for the boring energetic tactics of the radical. It logically follows that THE WHIP is radical.

Each day the clinics are filled with old chronic cases, each day doctor's offices are filled with health, seekers, each day numerous patients go from climate to climate seeking health, each day large numbers of patients try to obtain Ques: I expect to send out form letters to firms and business people explaining and advertising my system of printing business and to receive orders in return, then pay a man who runs a printing and engraving business to do the work for me, then I will send the work back to the person or firm that ordered it. Kindly let me know whether it is necessary to have license for such work. health in·the drug store by means of various patent medicines. Let us now consider what made these various people unhealthy. A learned medical lecturer was asked one time by a member of the audience how to keep well. The lecturer replied the best way to keep well is to keep the "Ten Commandments," meaning by that, to keep the laws of Nature. There are certain laws that nature demands of people to keep. If they violate these laws they will pay the penalty for their other. Let us now consider some of the common laws of nature that should be exercised by a normal individual. Ans: No, as long as your business is done by correspondence or as long as you operate no printing establishment of your own, no license is necessary for this work. Ques: I have finished paying for some lots which I bought on time. Nothing was said about recording the deed which has now been given to me. Must I have it recorded and must I pay for recording it? 1st. The first law is rest. Every normal person should have from 8 to 12 hours of sleep out of each 24 hours. 2nd. Food. The food should be wholesome, clean and well cooked. Everybody's diet should contain, if they are normal, a variety of the three food elements: proteins, carbohydrates and hydrocarbons. Proteins are found in various foods such as meats, peas, beans, cheese, etc. Carbohydrates are found in cereals, sweets, fruits, various fruits, potatoes, etc. Hydrocarbons are found in the oily foods, such as butter and nuts. Ans: Yes, to both of these questions. Ques: I moved out of a flat owing several months rent. I moved because the flat was too unsanitary. The owner has now sold the building to another party. Am I still liable to him for this old rent. Ans: Yes. Ques: My lease expires May 1st and the landlord has served notice that he will not renew it and that I must vacate on that date. If I cannot find a flat and do not move what procedure can he take to put me out, and will it be an added expense to me? 3rd. Bathing frequently is a very essential element in the maintenance of health. There are various kinds of baths such as the cold bath, the hot bath, the sitz, hot air and vapor bath, electric bath and medicated baths. All of these baths have their places and a great deal depends upon the individual as to the kind of bath that will agree with them. Ans: He can have the bailiff put you out after having gotten a judgment against you in forcible detainer. In the forcible detainer suit, a judgment for costs and possibly for double rent would be rendered against you. 4th. Another important thing in the keeping of health is to guard yourself and do not become diseased by exposing yourself to somebody else's disease. Remember, that a great number of diseases are contagious, a few of which are: Smallpox, Typhoid fever, Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Tonsillitis, Sore Throat, Scarlet Fever, Lagripe or Influenza, Tuberculosis, Gonorrhea, Chancroids, etc. Ques: How many years has one got in which he can sue upon a judgment note after it has become due? Ans: Ten years. Ques: A street car ran into a team which I was driving and damaged the team and I got hurt pretty bad, but they refused to pay me anything. Can I force them to settle with me and if so what should I do? Ans: Consult a lawyer and have him take the matter up for you. The question of liability of the street car company to you is dependent upon whether or not the accident was due to the fault of the motorman or to your own fault. If you sustained valid injuries in the case and you can show from the facts of the case that you were not at fault but that the accident was due to the fault of the motorman, then you have a liability case against the street car company. 5th. Every person owes it to himself or herself to see to it that their body is kept in tone or good condition. Do not wait until your health fails you, then seek advice, but have an examination at least twice a year to see that your kidneys, heart, lungs, teeth, tonsils, adenoids, blood and other organs are in good shape. You should be examined and your blood pressure taken. Remember it is easier to retain health than it is to obtain health after it has once gone. Y. M. C. A.

The subject of the paper was "What effect the Emancipation had upon the Colored Women." Rev. Brockett gave a brief outline of the life of the different subjects in the book written by Harriet Beecher Stowe which was very well stressed.

Behold The Hypocrite The Chicago Tribune, styled as the World's Greatest Newspaper, naturally assumes the right and perrogative to explain why Henry Ford has launched such a bitter attack upon the Jews of America. Ford is berated and criticised for stirring up race antagonism and for his attempt to make the Jew appear as unclean, foreign and dangerous and therefore Ford is estranging race elements in our great American commonwealth. Ford ought to read some of the Chicago Tribune's articles about black people which occur with apparent deliberate regularity and apparent premeditated intent to make the Negro appear as foreign, unclean and dangerous. Burns was right: "Oh wad to God the giftie gie us, to see oursil's as itthers see us."

D., Minister One of the greatest evidences that people are serious, for once, about the great questions of God, Human destiny, and Immorality, is the fact that some four or five thousands crowd into Olivet every Sunday, and many are turned away. Last Sunday morning the Pastor, Dr. Williams, filled the pulpit at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, while assistants Revs. J. H. Branham, H. B. Hawkins, and J. C. Carroll, had charge of the pulpits at all places of worship.

THE WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL KU KLUX KLAN From The "New Majority" Abraham Lincoln did not live to see the organization of the Ku Klux Klan in the south following the war. An institution so abhorrent to the ideals and ideas he represented must have made him turn in his grave. Now the Ku Klux Klan is revived. It is composed of 100 per cent Americans, according to its "imperial wizard" (good name that, for chief of such a terrorist, lynch-law mob—"imperial wizard"—for "mystery" and "magic are two of the weapons with which they terrify.) That ought to be enough to characterize the Ku Klux Klan. We have had sufficient experience to show us what "100 per cent Americans" are. They are intolerant, un-American, violent suppressors of freedom and democracy. They have to label themselves "100 per cent Americans," in order to justify their conduct to themselves. But then, also, these particular "100 per cent Americans"—the Ku Klux Klan—are organized for the purpose of "maintaining the supremacy of the white race." Educated persons know that anything that has to have its supremacy maintained has no supremacy. It is like contempt of court. It is the court that brings itself into contempt, by its own illegal actions, in most cases. Supremacy maintains itself. The phrase is mere cannage to cover up the real purpose of the Ku Klux Klan which expressed in plain, southern white man's English, would be "to keep the niggers down." Just think of such a thing in the south in the United States—in this day and age. A Word To A Word To The Scribes THE WRITER WHO WILL BE READ (Chicago Herald and Examiner.) The Joseph Medill School of Journalism of Northwestern university has opened for business. Many of its students will attend with the idea of learning how to write, so that people will wish to read what they have written. To these students we may offer one piece of advice. Make your writing personal, by thinking first of your reader, only secondarily of yourself. A man (or a woman) reads newspapers in the hope of finding therein something that interests him, not something that might conceivably be of general interest. An article on "British Financial Propositions" might have general interest; an article on "How England Proposes to Keep Your Taxes High" would have personal interest. One might be read; the other would be. And as a newspaper his article, so he shows concrete statement, in terms of the known ple possess, will into general statement will illustration is worth abstract explanation; angular scar on the identifies a man more cause it is more person list of such terms as light hair, blue eyes, ders, high forehead, a. An idea cannot be cept by an act of p your partner is your you take him into co will seldom get anyw you write. PATRONIZE THE W PATRONIZE THE WHIP'S ADVERTISERS In the south? The "imperial wizard" (somehow that title suggests a monkey on a stick) announced at a public initiation of 527 Kluxes at Birmingham, Alabama, last month, that there were 30,000 members of the Ku Klux Klan in the north. And that 7,000 of these were in New York and Chicago! This seemed to bewilder editor impossible, until he read in the Chicago Daily News a dispatch by a Chicago newspaper correspondent who so far forgot whatever decency he may have acquired, as to describe himself as having "had the honor of being the first northerner not a klansman to see such a sight" as this public initiation, which was obviously staged to invest the "klan" with more terrors for southern black folk. A very doubtful honor, it seems to a civilized man. The "imperial wizard" (imperial is a freak word, at least) said that northern headquarters for the negro-terrorizing organization would be opened shortly in Chicago or Cincinnati. It seems as if there ought to be some lawful way to wipe out this unlawful organization. That its influence has really penetrated to the north cannot be doubted since a Chicago high school had at its graduation exercises, January 28, a college instructor as orator, who poisoned the minds of the graduating high school boys and girls, as well as the vast audience, by a speech in which he stirred race hatred, developing the theme that races could not mix and therefore white "supremacy" had to be maintained. The Scribes And as a newspaper writer begins his article, so he should go on. The concrete statement, which puts ideas in terms of the knowledge most people possess, will interest them; the general statement will not. One good illustration is worth a paragraph of abstract explanation; just as a triangular scar on the left eyebrow identifies a man more accurately, because it is more personal, than a long list of such terms as medium height, light hair, blue eyes, narrow shoulders, high forehead, and so forth. An idea cannot be made clear except by an act of partnership, and your partner is your reader. Unless you take him into consideration, you will seldom get anywhere with what you write.
