WAGES; REVISE
WORK HOURS
Eight Cents an Hour Reduction Starts Monday; 8,000 Hit on South Side.
A decrease in wages and a readjustment of working hours in the stock yards industry were announced today by the big packing companies. Approximately 35,000 persons employed in Chicago and 150,000 employed in other cities are affected by the cut. O) the 35,000 Chicagoans who are affected 8,000 of our people on the South Side will feel the effect of the cut in wages. Wages will be reduced 8 cents an hour to employees who work on the hourly basis. Those who are employed on piece work will be decreased 12% per cent. Each employee will be guaranteed forty hours' work a week, as at present, but overtime at the rate of time and one-half will not start until the employee has worked fifty-four hours in any one week, or ten hours in any one day. Double time will be paid for work on Sundays and holidays.
The cut becomes effective next Monday.
Can Earn as Much Pay.
"Despite the lower rate which will obtain, employees can probably earn as much or more than under existing conditions. The forty-hour minimum wage with its basic eight-hour day has demonstrated positively during the two years that it has been in effect that it results in decreased weekly wage earnings for the employees. The adjustment should enable all plant employees to average forty-eight hours' wages per week and their earnings will compare favorably with the earnings of similar workmen in other industries.
"We are in complete sympathy with short work day and fair wage theories and our problem is to attune these theories as nearly as possible to the actualities which we encounter in dealing with producers and consumers."
Move Made Necessary.
"The revision in hours and wages is designed to make it possible for the industry to continue to serve live stock producers and meat consumers. The employers' desires under the circumstances are not at issue; the fact is simply that the business cannot exist if its expenses are greater than its margins.
"The reduction of 12½ per cent is very small in view of the fact that packhouse wages average three times as much today as they were before the war. The main objective in revising hours is to assure work in return for the wage which are paid by obviating the large sums through the payment of large sums for which no work is performed. We will continue paying double time for Sundays and holidays and time and a half for work in excess of fifty-hour hours a week."
THE "LIBERATOR" IS RE-ORGANIZED
The Liberator, America's foremost radical monthly, has reorganized its editorial staff, making Max Eastman, Floyd Dell, Robert Minor and Claude McKay co-editors. The announcement of this change is made in the March Liberator in an editorial by Max Eastman which reads as follows: "The general staff of the Liberator has been reorganized, as our readers will see by examining the editorial box on the next page (Editors: Max Eastman, Floyd Dell, Robert Minor, and Claude McKay). It would take several amusingly intricate volumes to explain all the considerations which entered into this final arrangement. We will content ourselves with assuring the reader that it is calculated to produce the highest editorial efficiency compatible with the lowest possible expense, and that everybody involved is happy and satisfied."
HAD A MANIA FOR SILK
SOX, STOLE $700 WORTH
PETERSBURG, March 9.—Dixie White, was convicted in the Hustings Court here of breaking into and robbing a Coast Line freight car of silk socks valued at over $700, and was sentenced to seven years in the State Penitentiary. Motion for a new trial by his counsel was overruled. White claimed he was at home asleep when the car was robbed and produced witnesses to prove his claim. Oscar Pegram, also charged with robbing the car, was used as a State witness against White today. Two other men are awaiting trial in connection with the car robbery.

Applicants for "Kitchen Cabinet" Throng Around Harding's Back Porch. Many. Dissappointed.
WASHINGTON, March 9.—With the simplest yet most impressive ceremonies, the Republican party was reinstated in power when Warren Gamaliel Harding was sworn in as the 29th President of the United States last Friday. Woodrow Wilson, broken in spirit and health, and repudiated by the nation, retired into the obscurity of private life.
President Harding's first official act was to make public the names of his new cabinet. Their minds are now at peace. On the outskirts of the inaugural throng was another group, each one of whom is eagerly awaiting word from the White House that he has been chosen for the "Bronze" or "Kitchen Cabinet." They are still in mental agony, for as yet no reassuring word has come for any of them. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the $9,000 "Georgia Peach," is already sending heavenward a mighty wall, charging that he is about to be side-tracked in favor of a "lily-white" southerner.
Many and diversified are the rumors as to WHO will land WHAT jobs. One authority predicts that Charles Cottrell will be appointed register of the Treasury, another that he will be named fourth auditor of the navy. Charles Anderson expects to be named collector of customs at the Port of New York; Emmett Scott expects to represent the government as minister to Bolivia; Perry Howard of Mississippi is said to have his eye on the attorney-general's office, and others say his eye is all that will ever get there. William Vann of Pittsburgh is also prominently mentioned as a possible assistant attorney-general. A. E. Malone of St. Louis is asking for a post in Haiti, while Fred R. Moore of the New York Age is after the same place. James Weldon Johnson and ex-President Scarborough are having it out among themselves as to who will go to Hawaii. Among their predictions are that Roberto Cohen will recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, Dr. J. R. Crossland will be appointed superintendent of the freedman's Hospital and Walter Cohen is to be appointed naval officer at the Port of New Orleans. Ernest Lyon is trying to get back his former post at Monrovia, and it is said that Phil Brown, the protege of the disappointed John Hertford of Kentucky, has picked a soft job for himself in the War Department.
Linc Johnson Declines.
It is said that Henry Lincoln Johnson and Robert Church are busy declining appointments, although the puzzle to most is just what it is they are declining.
ARKANSANS DRIVE OUT PHYSICIAN
ARKANSANS DRIVE OUT PHYSICIAN
BRINKLEY, Ark, March 9.—Dr. B. L. Underwood, physician, who recently came to this place from Bristol Tenn., was forced to pack his trunk and leave due to the refusal of local druggists to fill prescriptions written by him. Sentiment among the whites against Dr. Underwood was formed due to what they termed "his bigotty spirit."
Denied Kiss; Cuts Wife. Tries Suicide.
Because his wife, Mrs. Mattie Bryson, denied him his goodnight kiss, William Bryson, age 30, 3040 Calumet Ave., stabbed her in the neck, then turning his knife on himself attempted suicide by cutting the vein in his wrist, Friday. They both are now at the Michael Reese Hospital.
CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, MARCH 12th, 1921
GILPIN SITS AS HONOR GUEST AT ACTORS' BANQUET
NEW YORK CITY, March 9—Charles Gilpin, the star of "Emperor Jones," bearing the distinction of being the first black man to play the title role of a Broadway success, was the honored guest, at the Drama League banquet on Sunday night. Six hundred members of the Drama League attended the banquet. Some controversy has arisen as to the propriety of inviting Gilpin to the banquet. He headed the list of ten persons chosen by vote of the league who had done the most during the past year to advance the art of the theater. When the controversy arose over his invitation, Gilpin signified his intention to avoid embarrassment by absenting himself on the occasion of the banquet. Immediately there was a storm of protest, and prominent actors and playwrights declared that if Gilpin were not invited, they themselves would remain away. Disruption threatened the organization. Finally he consented to attend.
To be one among the ten is considered the highest honor attainable in the theatrical profession.
Other noted people present were David Belasco, producer; Jacob Ben-Ami, actor; Vareh, actress and writer; Lionel Atwill, actor; Dudley Biggs, Director; Fred Stone comedian; Eugene O'Neill, author; Lee Simpson, scenic artist, and Margaret Severn dancer.
Mr. Gilpin was formerly one of the Lafayette Players.
POSSSES SEEK 5 WHO FLEE
CHAIN GANG
ORANGE. Va., March 9.—Posses armed with all descriptions of weapons, ranging from black-jacks to automatic rifles, are scouring the countryside seeking five men who made a sensational dash for liberty between here and Culpepper last week. According to report twenty men were working the roads in what is known as a "chain gang," when under cover of noise made by the roadmaking machinery, seven of them broke away and fled into the woods nearby. Guard W. E. Snow, who attempted to halt their flight, was brained with a hammer. Two of the fugitives were immediately captured; the other five have not been heard from yet. It is not thought that the escaped convicts will be returned alive if captured by the posse.

This photograph show his excellency, President Charles B. D. King, of Liberia, with his staff, who arrived in this country recently for the purpose of negotiating a loan of $5,000,000. The party arrived aboard the S. S. Panhandle State. Left to right they are: G. L. Dennic, secretary to the commission; F. E. R. Johnson, President King, John L. Morris, and Ernest Lyon, consul-general for Liberia. It is probable that President King will be able to float the needed loan, as it is known that the United States is now contemplating using Liberia as a naval base.
SLAYS RIVAL FOR COMMON LAW LOVE
Illegal Union Once More The Center Of Trágic Murder At 35th St. and Vernon Av.
The common law marriage relation claimed another victim in Chicago when Albert Blackman, 442 E. 35th St., shot and fatally wounded William Boyer, aged 35, of the same address.

At the coroner's inquest Blackman was held to the grand jury on the charge of murder.

GENE PEOPLE'S SLAYER GIVEN EXONERATION
Telling his story in a clear, straightforward way, W. A. Thomas was exonerated of the killing of Eugene People at 31st St. and Forest Ave last Wednesday morning. The exoneration occurred at the inquest held over People's body at Edward's undertaking establishment Friday. People's attentions to Mrs. Thomas, who was a pianist at the Schiller Cale, 320 E. 31st St., caused the killing.
Mrs. Thomas a Christian Scientist, Mrs. Thomas is a Christian Scientist and, according to testimony given at the inquest, her interest in People was entirely from a religious point of view, and was mistaken by the slain man for affection.
Had Attacked Her Before.
When Mrs. Thomas failed to return People's expressions of affection on a former occasion, he stabbed her. At his trial Mrs. Thomas did not appear, it is said "on account of religious scruples." At this time it is said that People threatened the life of both Mrs. Thomas and her husband.
**People the Aggressor.**
At the inquest Thomas testified that at the Schiller's closing hour his wife telephoned him to come and take her home. He said he was standing outside the door of the cafe waiting for his wife when People rushed out with one hand raised over his head and the other in his pocket. Thomas fired one shot, taking deadly effect. People dropped to the pavement, dead.
Thomas was formerly a partner in the Griffin Music Store at 37th and State Sts., and later in the Arlington Music Store at 31st St. and Indiana Ave.

HIS IDEAS ARE TOO DREAMY SAYS MORRIS
Boykin Institute Head Says Carvey Can't Raise Enough Money or Munitions.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 6.—Calling the ministers of the country to unite against Marcus Garvey, the president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the African Communities League, Rev. Charles S. Morris, head of the Boykin, Va., Institute, claims the plans of Mr. Garvey are impractical and that his followers are being deceived.
He said that he had visited Africa and felt a great interest in its redemption, but for Mr. Garvey and his followers to accomplish this task it would require unlimited financial resource and an army and navy larger than that of Great Britain.
Nearly Mobbed.
Last summer Dr. Morris was nearly mobbed when he attacked the principles of the great Garvey at the Abyssinian Baptist Church. He was given police protection.
Dr. Morris claims that he married a granddaughter of Frederick Douglas and accompanied the anti-slavery lecturer on several of his tours. It is further stated that he is reactionary in all of his views and that his attacks on the new movement are not very popular.
TEXANS OPPOSE LOW WAGE LAW
TEXANS OPPOSE LOW WAGE LAW
HOUSTON, Tex., March 9.—The minimum wage law which is to be introduced at the coming session of the Legislature is sure to cause a bitter fight in this state. The objection to the law is based largely on the fact that it is applied flatly over the state to colored, white and Mexican women alike. The Texans contend that colored and Mexican women should not receive a guarantee of $12 a week, and while the Federation of Labor is fighting for the bill it probably will be defeated.
KEEPS THREAT, KILLS POLICEMAN, ESCAPES ON BYCYCLE
GOEDSBORO, N. C., March 9.—At LaGrange, twelve miles from here, last night, Arthur Lamb, a police officer, was shot in the side and chest four times by a young colored man who was laying in wait for the officer. Officer Lamb was carried to a hospital and is in a dangerous condition. Bloodhounds were brought from Raleigh and traced the slayer for some distance but lost track of him when he mounted a bicycle and rode away. It seems that some time ago the officer arrested the man for carrying a concealed weapon and the Negro was sent to the road. He vowed that when he got free again he would kill Lamb.

Fleeing Hubby Stopped By Wife's Knife.
William Herring, age 39, 3144 Rhodes Ave., decided that it was better to live in single peace than in married war, so following a quarrel with his wife, Margaret Herring last Wednesday, he packed up his personal effects and prepared to leave for parts unknown. He had reckoned without his wife, however. Evidently Mrs. Herring was determined to have a husband, whether by fair means or foul, so when she saw her spouse about to depart, she halted his flight with one swing of her knife. His breast was neatly carved. Herring's temporary residence now is the Provident Hospital.

QUARREL OVER RELIGION ENDS IN TRAGEDY

Minister Slain Attempting To Stop Fight. Fanatic Refuses To Talk.
MADISON, Wis., March 9.—Marshal O'Bannon, a religious fanatic, is being held by the police for double murder, and the Rev. J. G. Fox, formerly pastor of the First Baptist Church of Beloit, and Editor J. A. Josey of the Wisconsin Blade are dead as the result of a fight which occurred between the three last Saturday.
Minister Tries to Stop Fight.
The shooting occurred at the house where O'Bannon is a roomer, and followed an argument over religious questions between O'Bannon and Editor Josey. It is said that the Rev. Mr. Fox stepped between the two and attempted to quell the disturbance, and received the first bullet intended for Editor Josey. He died almost 4 months after O'Bannon's gun on Josey, who fell mortally wounded. He died late Monday afterternoon.
Josey Well Known Here.
Editor Josey is well known here and in Atlanta, Ga. He was conspicuous in church and political circles. During the Republican national convention in Chicago last summer he became conspicuous in advocating the candidacy of Senator Leenroot of Wisconsin. He was a native of Georgia, and numbered B. J. Davis and Henry Lincoln Johnson among his close friends.
O'Bannon Refuses to Talk.
At police headquarters O'Bannon refused to talk, maintaining a stolid silence both as to his motives in the shooting and the cause of the quarrel.
EXCITED BY FIRE CRAKERS, KILLS ONE WOUNDS THREE
EXCITED BY FIRE CRAKERS, KILLS ONE WOUNDS THREE
ROANOKE, Va., March 9—Edmond Thompson, on trial in circuit court here today charged with murder in connection with the killing December 18 last of Peck Austin, a white youth and the wounding of three of Austin's companions, took the stand in his own behalf. Thompson declared that the day of the shooting he was walking along the street here when a crowd of boys on the opposite side began throwing firecrackers into the street, some of them falling near him. He became excited, he said, and whipped out a revolver intending to shoot over the heads of the boys to scare them. In the possession examined, among them Jim Bayne, Roy Young and Roy Lee, three youths who declared they were wounded at the same time Austin received the shot which killed him. Each of them declared they were throwing firecrackers in the street but with no intention of molesting Thompson. They said he fired into the crowd five times.
FIGHTS OFF ROBBERS GETS 7 WOUNDS
FIGHTS OFF ROBBERS GETS 7 WOUNDS
NEWARK, N. J., March 9.—Awakened early yesterday morning by two men of his own race who sought gasoline from his father's garage at 43 Lillie St., Newark, Samuel Cook, also colored, found suddenly that their request was merely an excuse on which to gain entrance and attempt robbery. He seized a revolver near his bed in a room off the garage and fired at the intruders. They fired back, lodging seven bullets in young Cook. He is in the Newark City Hospital, dying. The intruders fled, and, although the shots were heard in a police station two blocks away, they escaped pursuit. Later in the day Harry Lippe of 250 Henderson St., Newark, was passing through Lillie St, and found a revolver, which it is thought one of the robbers dropped, as it was of the robber's bike. The cook. He continued to the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Mary Tresone, of 58 Seventeenth Ave., Newark. There, while he was examining the weapon, it went off, a bullet lodging in Mrs. Tresone's right arm. She also is in Newark City Hospital, although her wound is not serious.
UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP
Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils.
Pray tell us why the great prohibition President Wilson should require a government permit to move whiskies from the White House? So much liquor has been emptied into the gutters we thought that the great Woodrow would give example to the public by emptying his. Not so. It is claimed that the liquor was presented to him. Judging from his careful treatment of it, indeed it was a very wise gift. The same applies to Ex-Sec. of War Baker. Woe unto ye, scribes and pharisees.
Perry Howard, the gumshoe lawyer from Mississippi, is said to be making overtures for the position of Assistant Attorney General of the United States. Upon what he bases his claims for that position we are unable to preceive unless it is that he is an excellent Uncle Tom and that he spent two months in Chicago on a vacation at the expense of the Republicans. How long, how long?
Last week in Madison Square Garden in New York City, a "gentleman" of German persuasion in a flamboyant speech made some serious charges against the black troops in German territory. The white press carried full accounts of the speech of this pro-German. The charges reflect upon the whole black race and had already been denied by the German women themselves. The white press will do well to remember that the black boys of America fought the Huns, and it is not exactly fair to come within our own gates and lie about and insult those who are related to them. It would be better to give an expose of heinous crimes committed by the white sons of the South.
"Job seekers to the right of him, job seekers to the left of him volleyed and thundered." We mean those Black Uncle Tom politicians around the throne of President Harding. If these men conscientiously were seeking to advance the interest of their race we would not complain, but they are the same old gang of political bandits who are looking for something soft for themselves. Their race is the most remote of their considerations. Notice will you that these office seekers are the same men who are always posing as leaders and yet have never done anything for the advancement of their people.
Some of the ministers of our race are beginning to fight Marcus Garvey tooth and nail. We notice that Bishop Smith repudiates the gentleman in the World's Work magazine for March. Mr. Garvey is at least awakening a new race consciousness and creating a new race solidarity. Both worthy achievements. It is not true that his followers are mostly West Indians. If it is true what difference would it make? The cause is the black man's.

NOSEY was necking around in the loop learning his weekly lesson about human nature when he was startled out of his study by the honk of a powerful yellow Stutz roadster, which is a common sight on the South Side. This car and its goggled occupant was moving slowly down the east side of State Street, keeping as near the sidewalk as possible. Nosey recognized the name that was being played—the man in the car was looking for a weary, youthful female pedestrian that needed a lift. Nosey took to a taxi and followed aud heard each suggestive cough made by he man to the fair passerby and saw he was unsuccessful that night at any rate, but realized at the same time how this same car on many other nights disgorged many fair dames at the doors of the South Side cabarets. Oh well, a good car is an inducement to those that usually walk.
ONLY those that are on the inside get invitations to these pajama parties that are so popular out Wabash Avenue way. Well, they don't seem to want Nosey at these parties, but Nosey wighed his way in the back door and was present for most of the activities. Nosey was there when that doctor who follows these parties pretty close to give first aid came in dolled up in a pair of English cut pajamas with a pair of feet that stuck out so far in front of him that he could not keep them out of everybody's way or allow him to sit down cross-legged. The members of the party protested in a body and hastened to put on more clothes. The doctor finally got embarrassed and withdrew himself, followed by Nosey, who noted that he only put on his overcoat over his nighies and Nosey also noted that he entered the apartment of the popular widow almost next door garbed thusly. This means that you can't tell just where they are pulling these pajama parties.
SOME of the South Side pawn shops sought to have a great deal of scandal and romance hidden on their dusty shelves. Nosey was standing idly by one of these romance chests almost directly under the three gold balls when he saw a lady practically pushing a diaper young man into the pawn shop, giving him the seocice instructions to get that diamond ring or not to come out of there alive, because if he came out without it he would not live long after it to tell anybody else how to make money by letting him have the money from pawn jewelry. Well, Nosey followed the youth in the shop and he must have had faith in the determined little married woman's word that she would kill him, because he pawned everything except his shoes and sox in order to raise enough money to get that ring. If the proprietor would have allowed him he would have gone out the back, but he delivered the ring and shivered up the street to borrow an overcoat. These Wallingford's don't always put through their schemes and then the fun begins.
EVERY TIME a certain little society lady wanted some spare change she told her "friend" that she wanted a pair of shoes. Nosey found out that the "fellow" decided that she wore too many shoes and decided to go with her to a State Street store and pay for them himself. Of course, he had to walk on one side of the street and she on the other, as she did not want anyone to see her with this fair-haired, blue-eyed, red-faced man. Well, Nosey saw all of the plans blow up when the fair-haired gentleman crossed over and came up to her and entered the store together. The poor girl liked to have had a fit when she saw Nosey standing in front of the store and knew that he heard the red-faced one say, "If I am paying for shoes, I am going to see that
THE CHICAGO WHIP
you get shoes, and I will know that no one else gets that money." The gentleman certainly was getting wise to the lady's methods.
YOU NEVER CAN tell who you will see when you walk under the Elevated structure. Nosey bumped into that charming matron the other night under the "L" near 44th street using the best assortment of swear words that have ever greeted Nosey's delicate ear. So violent were her words that her male companion slunk off in shame. When the delicate matron turned to Nosey she greeted him with the sunniest of smiles and the sweetest words that could fall from the lips of a refined lady. Goldberg was right—"How Do They Do It?"

"NEVER BEFORE" SAYS FRANK GILLESPIE
Have our group had an opportunity to purchase stock for $30.00 per share in a Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company that will be owned and controlled by members of our race?
The Liberty Life Insurance Company offers to the Negroes of the North their first opportunity to become stockholders in what is destined to become the largest financial institution in the United States that will be owned and controlled by our people—an institution whose future president may be the little Negro newsboy, bootblack or street waif we pass on our streets today.
Every officer, director and incorporator of the Liberty Life Insurance Company has paid $30.00 per share for every share they have. No one has received any stock for "services rendered" or for promotion expenses.
We have over 800 satisfied stockholders satisfied because they know that every share has been sold for $30.00. No matter who the purchaser might be, he or she has paid the same price per share. These conditions alone should convince the most skeptical among our race that at last we have an investment that deserves the support of every man and woman who is a believer in justice to all.
Every share of stock has been subscribed for since November, 1920, but the recent industrial depression made it impossible for some of our subscribers to take all of the stock they desired and they have placed in our hands a few shares to sell. We are offering them to you for $30.00 per share and upon the same terms that hundreds of our stockholders have purchased—one-third cash, balance in 60 days.
If we ever expect to become a power as a race of people we must begin building financial institutions of our own from which we secure cheap money on approved security. Without an available supply of cheap interest money there is little hope for our financial development as a race. Too long have we been dependent upon those of other racial groups for money to finance our enterprises. We have just secured a five year lease on the entire north wing of the Roosevelt State Bank Building, Southwest corner of Grand Boulevard and 35th Street, for our new home office, which when completed May 1, 1921, will give us the best equipped insurance office in the city.
TODAY'S BEAUTY HELP
We find you can bring out the beauty of your hair to its very best advantage by washing it with canthrox. It makes a very simple, inexpensive shampoo, which cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly of all the dandruff, dirt and excess oil, leaving a wonderfully clean, wholesome feeling. After its use, you will find that the hair dries quickly and evenly, is never streaked in appearance and is always bright, soft and fluffy; so fluffy, in fact, that it looks more abundant than it is, and so soft that arranging it becomes a pleasure. Just use a teaspoonful of canthrox, which you can get from any good druggist, dissolve it in a cup of hot water; this makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head.—Free trial offer. Send two cents to cover postage. Address: H. S. Peterson & Co., Dept. 213-212 W. Kinzie St., Chicago, Illinois.
ESCAPE THE GALLOWS.
Two Colored Men Found Not Guilty of Murder They Confessed.
One of the strangest murder trials on record, ended last Friday when Grant Hilson and Geo. Mitchell were found not guilty after having previously confessed to a part in the murder of Wm. H. Love of Melrose Park.
The alleged murder occurred during a crap game between the defendant, the deceased Son Love and one Wm. Morse. Morse and Sen Love drew guns and shot at one another, neither was hit and everybody faded from the room. Shorty afted Wm. Love was found dead, when he had rushed outside and wilted. Morse left town and has not been apprehended. Hilson and Mitchell were taken into custody, given the "degree" and confessed to some of the following impossibilities, because they thought they would hang unless they said "yes, sir" to every question.
They confessed that
They had seen him shot.
They had seen Morse shoot Love.
They had left immediately.
That Morse came back and stabbed the dead man.
That they had stabbed him, etc.
Lawyer F. L. Barnett had no difficulty in securing a discharge for his frightened "Yas, sub" clients.
To Establish a Home for Dependent Children
The executive committee of the Merriitt W. Pinckney Juvenile Association, at its regular meeting in 3000 South State street, purposed a $100,000,000 campaign for the establishment of a home for dependent colored children. The membership of this association is composed of representative colored citizens, whose purpose is to raise sufficient funds without subscription from the public to establish the home. The Association has selected the name Merriitt W. Pinckney by reason of the years of dedication by the late judge Pinckney to juvenile children and in particular by reason of his personal interest in the welfare of all children without regard to their race or creed.
The executive committee is composed of Attorney Richard E. Westbrooks of the firm of Ellis & Westbrooks, chairman, Misses Ella G. Berry, Sophia B. Boaz, Daisy Sampson and Jessie Jones, Mesdamics Lou Ella Yoning, Alberta M. Smith, Minnie O. Quarols, Jessie Thomas and Blanche Gilmer, Attorneys Viollette N. Anderson, Harris B. Gaines and Henry Hammond, A. C. MacNeal, manager of the MacNeal Publishing Company and Dr. Midian O. Bousfield.
It was decided at this meeting and fully discussed that colored children from the juvenile court being without any proper home, that it was incumbent upon this organization to immediately make contribution of $100,000.00 for the establishment of the same.
After statistics had been furnished the organization, it was shown that of the colored children who were brought into the various courts charged with crime, nine-tenths were those children who had been without the care and protection of a home and that a home for dependent and neglected children properly supervised would tend to decrease crime and be conducive to good citizenship.

BABER ASSAILS CRIME AND IT'S CAUSES
BABER ASSAILS CRIME AND IT'S CAUSES
In an eloquent sermon at 11 o'clock at Trinity M. E. Church, 30th street and Prairie avenue, Rev. Rebe stated: "Ninety-five per cent of our ministers are playing politics either by non-communal to moral issues or by permitting their churches to be tools of certain political factions. Most of them have their mouths pastered by a few paltry dollar bills they received from some political demagogue. I am surprised at the matter in which they condone crime by a policy of non-involvement so-called in politics. To see vice flourishing and then not unite against it charges the pastors with criminal indifference."
"We need a vice crusade, now vice is syndicated, why not the churches league together in concerted effort, forget denominationalism. But no, some of these cringing leaders so-called, slip around the corner, pick up a dollar or two for a rally listen to the siren lies, then bask in the moonlight of selfish ignorance and wallow in the miasma of hypocryacy, then preach this text, "He will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee." "A new day, thank God, a new day. The public is tired of this travesty on gospel. They want the real good news preacher who will put things into effect." "Some of our ministers are tied hand and foot politically. They see these conditions and quake with fear when asked to speak."
He further stated: "Games are running in broad daylight. Buffet flats open all around. Police sound asleep, shipping out of the way or pursuing a fabran plan. Fitzmorris' men may be cleaning up some other wards, but they are using aeroplanes trying to miss the Second. Why is this? Chicago needs more ministers who do not fear. More Christian statesmen."

THE CHICAGO WHIP
WHO IS WHO IN CHICAGO?
There will be an educational contest given at South Park Methodist Episcopal Church on March 28th.
We say contest. In one sense it is a contest, but the real aim of the promoters is so lofty that it lifts the affair from a mere contest of individuals and prizes into service for humanity.
To find out "Who is who in Chicago" is the real aim of the promoters. It is an aim that each of us desires to know. But it is so difficult and it takes so much time that most of us are not able to pay the price. Yet we are daily embarrassed by strangers, visitors and other anxious persons eager to know "Who is who in Chicago," and we are not able to tell them.
It is more than 125,000 of us here. We have people of all trades and professions. We have many, many business enterprises, and we have all kinds of organizations. In each trade, profession and organization there is a leader, or there is one who is studying and sacrificing for the good of the others. Now, who are those leaders, and which one or ones have done the most good for the greatest number? That is the question we would like to answer; and that is the question we will answer after the contest.
When the question is answered parents will be able to point out the leaders as an example to their children. Citizens will be able to show him to strangers, and students will be able to refer to them in their orations to inspire their comrades to struggle on. The question is being asked so often that Dr. Bryant, the pastor of South Park Church, with others, have persuaded Messrs. P. A. Glanton, E. A. Jackson, N. S. Taylor, M. C. B. Mason, W. E. Mitchell and Mrs. L. Lillard to answer this question for the public.
Each person named above will select six Negroes whom they think have done most for our people and will vouch for them in an eloquent appeal, backed by facts and statistics. After the oratory, judges will decide the question for us. Six prizes will be given to the winners. First prize, a $100 bust oil painting of the winner; second, a $20 gold piece; 3rd, $10 gold piece; 4th, brief case; 5th, fountain pen; and 6th, 1 year subscription to the South W. C. Advocate.
Every one is cordially invited to learn "Who is who in Chicago," and also first hand information on who is who among the 10,000,000 Negroes of the United States of America. We can safely say the stars of Chicago are stars of first magnitude. Tickets will be sold everywhere.

BLEW OUT BRAINS
FOILED LYNCHERS
BLEW OUT BRAINS
FOILED LYNCHERS
BEAUMONT, Texas, March 9.—Monroe Gilder of Village Mills, 16 miles north of here, foiled Southern lynch law last week, when, after slaying three men, and facing an angry mob, including several deputy sheriffs, blew out his brains with his last bullet.
Gilder had been accused of stealing oats from R. H. Smith and George Renfroe. In the quarrel which resulted, he shot both Smith and Renfroe dead.
Rushing to a vacant house nearby, he barricaded himself there, when Petit Oalley, white-approached the place with his rifle, with the avowed intention of arresting Gilder. After repeated warnings to mind his own business, Gilder fired one shot and Oakley fell dead in the yard.
Excitement was running high by this time. A mob with ropes surrounded the house. Inducements to draw Gilder into the open were unavailing. Finally the house was set on fire. When Gilder failed to appear, the mob broke into the house, only to find its victim lying in a pool of his own blood. He had blown out his brains with the last shot left in his gun.
NEW UNDERTAKING COMPANY
LAUNCHED.
Through the inspiration of Dr. L. K. Williams, Chicago's most astute clergyman, a company of prominent men pooled their finances and started what is known as the Bell Auto and Embalming Company. They have acquired spacious offices at 202 East 39th Street, near Indiana Avenue.
An Apparent Winner
The men who comprise the Board of Directors of this newly formed company are men of experience, business training and of undoubted integrity. Mr. Bell, the man after whom the company is named, is perhaps in a class by himself so far as business experience is concerned. For twenty years he has been employed in a managerial capacity by Mr. D. C. Williams, President of The Chicago Nipple Manufacturing Co. He has also successfully managed several large apartment buildings on the Northside. Mr. H. L. Beasley, Secretary, is an expert accountant, prominent in fraternal circles. Mr. Griffin, one of the originators of the idea that precipitated the company is the Chairman of the Deacon Board of Olivet Baptist Church and was formerly the head of the Griffin Music Company. He is well known and highly respected by the best people of both races. Mr. Omar F. Magee is the licensed embalmer and manager of the concern and is considered next to none in his profession.
With men of his type piloting a business, there is no reason to expect anything but success.

There seems to be almost as many
methods of singing, as there are teach-
ers of voice and this confusing condi-
tion of affairg, works a great hardship
fon the amateur singer who is desirous
of studying. ‘The fact that students
so oiten, so. forceiully and also so
justly proclain: this deplorable situa-
tion brings to the attention of voice
teachers the imperative demand for an
carly and intelligent "getting together”
in this matter. It is a very usual thing
for the pupil to say “I want to study:
with Miss A., her methods are so dif-
ferent from any of the teachers I have
had before and 1 advance so much
nore rapidly. I can hardly believe
that my other teachers knew what they
Hwere doing.” As a.anatter of fact, the
‘several teachers may have had. prac-
ticaly the same kind of training, but
their subsequent study or lack of it,
coupled with the types of teaching ex:
perience to which they have been sub-
jected, has left the indelible imprint on
their manner and form of teaching.
Re that as it may, there is no vague-
ness which should be tolerated as to
certain principles of vocal instruction
and the instructor of voice who does
hot teach in accordance with these
principles—regardless of his own per-
sonal devices for obtaining success
with pupils of different individual
tastes and capabilities, is not only fall-
ing short of doing the best for the
pupils, but is digging deep for himself
a grave in the burial plot of musical
oblivion
The Chicago Music Association held
the last of its Sunday afternoon musi-
cales ior the season on Sunday after-
noon, March Sth, at the Appomatox,
Club. Owing to the unavoidable delay
in starting the program the weiter was,
forced to leave after hearing only one
number. ‘That number, however, was
an excellently. performed piano solo by’
Miss Cleo Dickerson. The musicales
ziven by the Music Association have
heen very good. They have been in-
structive and very enjoyable and have
tended to broaden and deepen the in
terest in truly good music. Mrs. Nora
Douglas Holt, the president of the
Association, has done a very good
work in making possible these meet
ings

Right or Might to Shape Destiny of Baseball?
The signs of the times point to 1921 as the year in which the honesty of players and managers alike, as well as their efficiency and ability to succeed, will be put to a severe test. There are ten big colored baseball clubs affiliated with the National Association of Colored Professional Base Ball Clubs, with as many more operating on terms that are harmonious. The Lincoln Giants, Royal Giants and all clubs in and around New York operating under the supervision of the Nat Strong agency are not and steadfastly refuse to affiliate with this organization, which has all the big colored clubs enrolled, save the two above mentioned. These friendly enemies, as well as agents acting for the proposed Continental League, many of whom are dark people, have placed many an obstacle in the pathway of those who have blazed the trail to success and better things and conditions, not only for those now in the spotlight of publicity, but for the generation yet to come.
PALM BEACH RESULTS LEFTY BROWN WINS CLASSIC STRUGGLE
Throw of Lyons Prevents Shut-out of Breakers.
Joe Williams, as well as Lefty Dave Brown, pitched a whale of a game last Tuesday only to have that much dreaded seventh and its certain omen crop out into a victory for "Rube" and his clan. "Low Down" Francis was the object of an excellent alibi for no other reason only that for once out of perhaps fifty chances he failed to throw his man and handle another drive labeled a hit on the grounds of being too hot to handle in time to retire the runner. All this occurred in the seventh, and up to that time neither side had scored. But there was more to that seventh. Bobby Williams was killed just before DeMoss upset Francis, then Malarcher registered a hit, and on the same Francis threw wildly, allowing DeMoss to score with Malarch on base. Warfield then slammed one to Barber in right, which the latter dropped; Reese, hitting for Lyons, cleared the sacks with a drive to center, advancing to third on throw ins, from which point he scored on a sacrifice fly to Barber in right. Grunt ended the half on an out to left field. Result, errors, Francis one: Barber one. Hits, Malarcher, Reese, sacrifice fly, Dixon, runs, four.
The Breakers secured their lone run when in the ninth, Douglas, the first man up, rapped out one beyond the palms in left; the blow was no more than a three sacker with a hard run. After chasing down the sphere, Lyons over-ansions and peeved at the ball going over his head, released a hurried throw in the direction of the infield, the throw never arrived. It appears that the ball caught in the foliage of the palm tree just ahead and, although Lyons in his laugh-provoking plight tried hard for the release of the ball, the foliage nevertheless held on; in the meantime Douglas, after round third, rolled in with the Breakers lone tally of the game. Score by innings:

Future Prospects.
It is the youth of tomorrow that will be hurt the most by the acts of the weaklings amongst us, and who as baseball players and whatnot are lending their aid to the cause of those who would keep the dark man farthest down. Baseball is as old as the freedom of the black man, yet among his marvelous achievements since his liberation, none occupy a lower classification than the dark man's progress in the nation's sport, in which more than a hundred million souls are interested, and is viewed by more than twelve million of all colors and nationalistic annually. Will our great baseball players insist upon being and become a fixture in this splendid baseball structure designed by black men, which by virtue of the fact that more than one million persons supported their initial effort in 1920 is bound to succeed, or will they continue with or join the enemy of their self-salvation and lend aid to a campaign of destruction and devastation?

WM. JENNINGS, Second Baseman for many seas sons of the Chicago Giants, whose services are in demand by big Eastern Clubs.
They Don't Like Jack as a Boxing Attraction.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 8—At the present time Fred Fulton is by no means considered a hero by the boxing fans of this country; in fact, if the truth be told, he is regarded with considerable coldness, due chiefly to his failure to make a good showing against Wills. Now it is reported that Fred has agreed to fight Jack Johnson after the black ex-champion gets released from Leavenworth.
Without a question of doubt Johnson is the most despised pugilist in the world today—and justly so—and it will not add to Fred's popularity to light him. It would be a lot better policy on Fulton's part to ignore Johnson as most of the heavyweights no doubt will. There will be no particular glory in defeating the ex-champion, for he is merely a shadow of his former fighting self, and unless we're very much mistaken there will not be much money in it for Fred, either, for such a match would not be likely to draw a large gate.
INDIANAPOLIS—I will train my players somewhere in the Southland, either at Mobile or Montgomery, Mackey and other players wintering in California, are in good condition, having played all winter. I will leave with players early in March and will return the first week in May. We expect to stage the most elaborate opening of any club in the circuit." C. I. TAYLOR, President.
ST. LOUIS—"With the new material added to our roster, we should show a clean pair of heels to all contenders this coming season, and I believe we will do it. We go south on a training jaunt, leaving about the middle of March. The majority of all players have returned signed contracts, and all will be in the fold before we start south."
CHAS. MILLS, President.
CHICAGO GIANTS—"I have a surprise that is designed to knock the fans clear off the chairs. I am positive that I have landed one, if not the very best ball player in the game today. He is well known to the fans. He will be field general, and the players that I am angling for—all new faces—will make the Chicago Giants a front runner right from the first sound of the gong."
JOE GREEN, President,
CINCINNATI—"Now that the Cuban Stars have a home ground and will not be under the handicap of constant travel, I sincerely believe that we will annex the big honors in the coming season's race. My players have played just enough ball to be on edge at the start, while others who were in poor health have recovered their form and are out to give Cincinnati a winner.
ABEL LINARES, President."
KANSAS CITY—"The majority of my players have been playing in the winter California league; despite the fact that they have been playing hard ball against the major leaguers, the two games per week will not operate to throw them off their stride. If I get the team work and base running this season, it's curtains for the rest." J. L. WILKINSON, President.
AMERICAN GIANTS—"My pitching staff was never better; with the best receivers behind the plate, and my infield of long and established fame, I don't see how we can lose; not to speak of Lyons, 'Torrentte, Gardner and Reece in the outfield.'" A. "RUBE" FOSTER, President.
DETROIT—"We came within an arc of heating out the champs in our first year, finished second our second year out, after many upsets from injury and delinquent players. Freedom from injury and sickness of players is the luck of baseball that all managers desire. Give us a fair share of the breaks this coming season and we will set a killing pace."
P. HILL, Manager.
HILLDALE—"We have all of our most important positions filled with good players, with contracts of men already signed and returned. Will use Hilldale park on Saturdays, Thursdays and holidays; will use Camden, N. J. park, located at Third and Erie Sts., on Wednesday. Have long term lease. We expect to beat last year's record, when we won 102 games and lost 34."
ED. BOLDEN, Manager.
BACHARACH GIANTS—"The team will be much stronger this season than last, which means that they undoubtedly will win the big honors among colored clubs. We leave for Jacksonville, Fla., March 17, and we figure that a week or two will put the men in fine fettle."
DICK REDDING, Manager.
COLUMBUS EAGLES—"Columbus is a new town to me, but baseball and the men who will help me to give the city a pennant winner are not. I have in Roberts and Britt two pitchers that cannot possibly be excelled on the circuit. Pitching is 80 per cent of all wins. Lane and Alexander are among the best outfielders in baseball, and I will have the infield to top off the team.

Center Fielder, Chicago Giants
BENTON HARBOR, Migh., March 8. Governor Alex J. Groesbeck will prevent title boxing matches in Michigan in the future, such as the Dempsey-Miske fight here last Labor Day according to a local pastor. The letter, received today, was in reply to the pastor's protest against the proposal to bring Jack Johnson here for a bout next summer. The Governor's letter said:
"I have stated to the boxing commissioner that such fights will no longer be tolerated in this state. I propose that both the letter and the spirit of the law pertaining to boxing exhibitions hereafter will be strictly observed."

BASKETBALL
MOREHOUSE WINS SOUTHERN CHAMP.
ATLANTA, Ga., March 9.—At the close of the football season, a full squad of more than fifteen men reported at the call of the coach for basketball candidates. All the varsity squad of last year, including the scrubs, to whom a debt of gratitude is due, were on hand. There also appeared two new aspirants, viz: Bailey and Sykes, who captured the guarding posts and were powerful factors in all the victories.
The season began with an overwhelming defeat over the fast Y. M. C. A. five which was closely followed by a defeat over the Atlanta University quintet. After defeating all the Southern teams and seemingly with no more worlds to conquer, Morehouse brought Shaw University down from Raleigh, N. C., and defeated them in the fastest game Atlanta fans have ever witnessed.
Not satisfied with winning the Southern championship the invincible Tigers journeyed to Hampton and defeated the fast Seasider's quintet champions of the East, to the tune of 37-33. In speaking of the game, fans of the East say that the Southern lads brought a new style of play into the East and that they showed their superior training and ability in every play of the game.
This was the first time that Hampton had suffered defeat this season but since this time Howard has inflicted the Seasider's victory. Morehouse Only regrets that Howard and Lincoln would not compete for the national championship. It is undoubtedly true that Bailey and Captain Hope of the Tigers deserve and have earned their positions on any all-star intercollegiate five. The display of teamwork and of passing and shooting from long and short range startled fans in the South and East. Again, the Morehouse boys write their names, and high above them all, Morehouse College, on the illustrious walls of fame.
