Rumors, whispered greetings, clandestine meetings and secrets on oath, but with the inevitable leaks, divulge the information which indicates that racial friction is being deliberately stirred up and that sinister plans are in the making here in Chicago. Well posted observers predict a culmination attended by bloody events within the next six months. The Ku Klux Klan, of unsavory reputation in the South, has openly advertised for members in a Chicago daily paper, and a meeting of the newly accepted members is scheduled to be held in a West Side hall Friday night. A Remarkable Letter Found. A remarkable letter has been found purporting to be sent from an ex-Southerner (white) in Chicago to relatives in the South, revealing starting information concerning the activities and plans of the Klan here. The letter states that instead of blacking their faces, the members of the Klan are now preparing black and brown masks which cover the entire face. The letter further states that "Niggers here think themselves as good as white people," but that the Klan is making preparations to disillusion them. Tales From Tattlers. Within the secret councils of the K. K. K. there sit many of white skin and flaxen hair, who silently listen, but with in their veins flows black blood, and under the shades of darkness they hurry (Continued on Page 4.) BACKERS SAY JACK STILL HAS $196,000 May Fight Carpentier And Wills; To Begin At Once On Movie Contracts. LEAVENWORTH, April 16—Several rumors are affair relative to the imminent liberation of Jack Johnson from the govern ment prison here. Whether he is to be paroled, paroled or compelled to serve his entire sentence is all a matter of conjecture, but at the worst, he will leave the prison walls behind not later than July 5, when his term expires. 1. According to his manager, Elmer Tenley, the ex-champion's career will be a busy one from the day he steps from prison. Johnson has received vaudeville, and motion picture offers and his manager says he will not pass them up. Tenley also said that Johnson has been offered $35,000 to meet Carpentier, the French champion, in Paris, in September, and has another offer with a fat purse attached, if he will meet Harry Wills, colored champion. The former champion weighs 214 pounds. When he fought Willard he weighed 219. "Johnson is worth $196,000," said Tenley. "I have a French motor car belonging to Johnson, which he paid $9,000 for in France, and also another car. Both machines are in New York. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, APRIL 16th, 1921 Confederate Seal Forever Lost With Death of Keeper Washington, April 16. — The hiding place of the seal of the Confederacy must forever remain a mystery. James Jones, body servant of Jefferson Davis, who buried the seal and various personal effects of his master when threatened with capture during the Civil War, died here Friday. Although he had been offered large sums to reveal the hiding place to curio collectors, he remained faithful to his trust. Jones had been employed in the Senate Office Building many years. PREFERS DEATH TO SCHOOL, INHALES GAS Preferring death to remaining in school and continuing her studies, Octavin Toleman, age 15, 4318 Prairie avenue, went to her bedroom April 8, and turning on the gas, lay down to die. She was discovered after unconsciousness had overtaken her, but was still alive. A pulmotor was rushed to her aid and she was soon revived. She will recover, but her wish has been granted. Physicians say she will never again be normal, and will be unable to do any studying. ROOMER IN HOME ATTACKS GIRL. AGE 8 An unusually fendish attack was reported to the police early this week. Immediately after the report, John B. Henry, a roomer at 2937 Prairie avenue, was taken in custody and held without bond. Thermo Fitzgerald, age 8, at whose home Henry was a roomer, is in the County Hospital suffering from a malignant disease which developed following a criminal assault upon her at the hands of Henry on March 27. 31 24 MURDER AT AL TEARNEY'S IS HUSHED UP Allege Hush Money And Political Pull Used To Quiet Reports Of Cold Blooded Murder. Ugly rumors of political pull and hush money featured the mysterious singing of Robert Patten, 3240 Rhodes avenue, in the palatial "jim-crow" cafe of Al Tearney, 35th street and Calumet avenue, early Sunday morning. 2. Newspapers Squash Story Early morning editions of daily papers named Robert Friederion, 23 E. 47th street, as Patten editions of the same and other papers failed to carry any story whatsoever of the incident. There was an evident attempt to squelch publicity over the incident. Inquest Monday. At the inquest Monday at Hill's morgue witnesses who had been previously named as familiar with the details of the shooting displayed a remarkable ignorance about the affair. Two well known and prominent politicians were mentioned as receiving $1,000 to hush the matter up. It was also hinted that the coroner's jury was "stacked." There was no evidence, however, to substantiate such a charge. (Continued on Page 4.) JURY OF GEORGIA FARMERS ASKS MERCY FOR SLAYER OF 11 John Williams, Of Murder Farm Is Reindicted. His Three Sons And Clyde Manning Also Face Murder Charges. COVINGTON, Ga., April 19—John G. Williams, master of "Murder Farm," was found guilty of the murder of Lindsey Peterson, whose body, bound by chains, and weighted down with sacks of stones, was found floating in the Yellow river. 3. The defense immediately filed a motion for a new trial. When the jury brought in the verdict of "guilty," it also recommended mercy. According to Georgia law, this recommendation automatically carries with it a sentence of life imprisonment. The jury's instructions were to bring in a verdict of guilty, guilty with recommendations for mercy, or acquittal. The star witness for the state was Clyde Manning, farm boss, who testified to having thrown Peterson into the river at Williams' order, the farm owner having driven the automobile in which the Negroes were taken to the bridge. The defense put Williams on the stand, but not under oath, which prevented cross examination. No other witness was called. A Travesty On Justice. That even dyed-in-the-wool Southerners consider this verdict a travesty on justice is evidenced by an editorial appearing in the "Columbus Enquirer-Sun" as follows: EIGHT PAGES NOT HE OUS PEONAC GEORGIA ASKS MERCY LAYER OF 11 Arm Is Reindicted. His Three Also Face Murder Charges. "A Newton county jury has tried John S. Williams, the Jasper county multi-murderer, found him guilty, and recommended him to the mercy of the court. By what process of reasoning the jury arrived at this form of verdict is difficult if not well impossible to imagine. This is, if we try to analyze it by any 'process of reasoning,' but if we brush aside all subterfuge and hypocrisy and tell the plain truth about it, the verdict—as great a travesty of justice as it is—is not so difficult to understand. "And this plain truth is we have not yet reached that state of grace, or of justice, in Georgia where we 'hang a white man for killing a nigger,' as the expression is and has long been. . . . "However, the owner and operator of this Georgia 'murder farm' escapes with his own life—a penitentiary sentence—and perhaps a pardon later on if he lives long enough and his family can bring enough influences to bear. "Thus do we again 'advertise Georgia,' God help her." Although John Williams escaped the noose at his first trial for murder, it is freely predicated that he will eventually hang for his peon farm murders. He was re-indicted Monday afternoon on eighty counts, involving further murders on his farm. With him were indicted his sons, Marvin, Huland and Leroy Williams, Clyde Manning was also indicted. Huland is charged with the murder of "Blackstrap," Leroy for killing "Iron Jaw," and Marvin for the murder of John Spellman. --- PRICE FIVE CENTS RE? GE DRAMA SAYS SELTZER FLIMFLAMMED HIM OF $1,000 Minister Claims Real Estate Broker Pocketed Money For Purchase of Church. Warren J. Seltzer, of the firm of King & Seltzer, real estate brokers, with offices at 3702 Cottage Grove avenue, is being held in default of $6,000 bonds, charged with operating a confidence game. 4. Several individuals appeared and pressed charges against Seltzer, who is a partner with "Billy" King, the comedian, claiming that they advanced money to Seltzer for purchases of property, and that Seltzer neither purchased the property or refunded the money. The particular charge upon which Seltzer was arrested was brought by members of the Zion Hill Baptist Church, 30th and Dearborn streets. The Rev. Anderson Martin, pastor of the Zion Hill Church alleged that he gave Seltzer $1,000.00 cash to purchase the church building in 48th street, between Michigan boulevard and Wabash avenue, Seltzer received the money on the 21st of March, but never made a report on the purchase. Repeated attempts to get in touch with Seltzer always met with the response that he "was in Gary." Finally the Keystone Detective Agency was retained, and Seltzer was apprehended Friday, April 8, speeding through (Continued on Page 4.) UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. One gentleman of Chicago is lecturing in the South. His lectures are receiving the unqualified stamp of approval from the Southern newspapers. We do not know who prepared his itinerary, neither do we know who advises this gentleman to give his Uncle Tom philosophy to those in the benighted South. But we have our suspicions. This "brilliant orator" is prostituting the ideals of his people and he shall be exposed without stint in a later issue. To understand the frame of mind of those who are attending breakfast dances while their race is gasping in the throes of economic collapse is beyond our wits. If the truth was known many of those who now bask and revel upon the public stroll and "trip the light fantastic toe" are out of a job and neither have they any immediate prospect of securing one at any early date if at all. It would indeed be regrettable if many of these breakfast dancers were driven by unemployment to return to the South. What are they planning to do to offset these present perils of reconstruction? Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons is now speaking or rather rambling around in Texas. The colonel in reaching his perforation in his "one speech" tells about his dream on a pillow of tears and that the day was gone "never to return." We will not rue the day when the "colonel will dream of the real principles of manhood and will have enough grit to put his message over. He has disgusted the majority of those who have heard him with his "soft soaping" and Fourth of July gibberings. He is no longer making fools of his listeners and when they applaud, they applaud because they believe he has finished and when they laugh they are laughing at the clown-like antics of the clown-like speaker. Roscoe use some judgment and shut up. In entering into business it was intimated recently through the columns of this newspaper that to those who have had no previous experience, that nerve and a few dollars are not the only requisites. The unappealing names that describe so many of the new undertakings prove that the advice of expert advertisers is sadly needed. We observe the "Easter Lily Barber Shop," the "Tin Can Grocery Store," the "one for All Co-operative Society," the "Arctic School of Beauty Culture." These crude names repel rather than attract customers and the idea of window decoration is absolutely foreign. In some windows a gay-colored bottle will be seen resting upon a strip of common calico and for a background will be seen a multi-colored circus poster. It is hoped that those entering into business pursuits will consult those who know how to make their trade names appealing and their places of business attractive.

Weekly Feature Contests—Entertainer Cafe. INDIANA AVENUE AND 35th STREET 2 To The You Know 'Em Editor I know you know those people who seem ready to eat anything from a peanut to an elephant on the street cars? Well, tell them that it will soon be summer and the car windows will be open and then they can throw their refuse out of the windows instead of on the floor and seats. I know you know that young man who has been crying "hard times" and "no work" when any one asked him to pay his bills? Well, tell his creditors that Nosey saw him "blowing a roll" on the fair dolls in three cabbages the other night. I know you know that pretty and fashionable matron who wears such wonderful furs? Well, it would not do for it to get real cold now, because that summer spell we had made her think it was summer for true and she had to “arrange” to use those furs to get summer silks. She says they are in storage. That’s right, too. I know you know that popular soda dispenser who mixes a little chatter with every drink he serves to the ladies? You tell him that those has do not like the kind of chatter he has been “mixing” in the last drinks and he might be called upon to do a little different kind of mixing if he tried that same mixed drink on the ladies again. Oh, you must know the handsome young man who was hurled from a flying taxicab and landed at the corner of 35th and Rhodes avenue last Monday night? Well, he wants to explain to the public that he did not know there was a little "strong" man in the cab when he entered it and told the driver to drive "ten dollars" worth." His suit was ruined by the fall, but that is a small matter. He is wondering what kind of a hammer the little "hidden" man used on his head. I know you know the little waitress that sings to you as she serves you your hash! Oh, you must know her, because she has a tooth out in front. Well, tell her not to sing any more until she has that tooth replaced. Safety first. You must know that restaurant that still has war-time prices? Well, tell them that the war is over and eggs are 22 cents a dozen wholesale. Better tell them before they lose all their trade. You must know "The Rat?" Yes, he looks just like one and likes the dark corners like one. Well, tell him that a big cat is going to get him the first time he passes that dark spot on 36th street between State and Wabash. I know you know that fat lady who got caught in the auto door in front of her house on Calumet avenue last Sunday evening? Well, tell her to get a bigger man for an escort and he will not cause so much excitement when she requires some one to push her out of a tight crack. Obviously you know those unemployed men the food? Well, go to the 8th Regiment Armory, April 18th and help give them some food. Better yet, buy a ticket today. Every lit the bit helps feed one more man. Have you ever been hungry? HON. PIEELDS IN CITY Hon. William H. Fields of St. Louis Mo., national grand master of A. U. K. & D. of A., is in the city conferring with the most excellent queens of the various councils, the state grand queen Mrs. Eliza Jackson, and M. T. Bailey chairman of The Location Committee on plans for the coming meeting of the national grand council in August. "NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL A man in a suit bending forward to open a door. NOSEY WAS TROTTING along Columbert Avenue last Saturday night when a blue touring car dashed past him, going south towards 37th street. A shoe—a lady's shoe, too, was thrown out of the fast-moving car and hit the street with one of those delicate gentle thumps much like a brick. This was followed by a hat, and then a light-weight coat. Nosey rushed to retrieve all of these articles, thinking the car would stop. Not so. Nosey could not explain the mystery, but stumbled upon two chauffeurs talking and he heard one tell of how a lady made a quick change of all of, or more of her outer clothes from a suit case after giving him instructions to **step on ver.** Nosey soon guessed the reason was found the address on the album which she started with in the destination of her dress. This trick has fooled her dear little baby, who put detectives on her trail five times. The articles she lost were lost as she tried to do her **quick change** and were not thrown away. She drew to get a new trick now to fool the old sleuths on her trail. ON LAST Sunday night Nosey was standing at the corner of 35th and Cottage Grove Avenue when one of those "vamp" cars slowed up to the sidewalk and the driver hailed a demure little miss, asking the usual question, "Going west?" She did not answer, but got in the car and they started west. Nosey chartered a "wandering" cab and followed. When the "vamp" car suddenly stopped Nosey was surprised to see the driver get out with his hands above his head and his back to the car. He marched in this fashion till his face was against the brick wall and then the "sweet" little lady enthly stepped out and disappeared into the darkness, leaving the air laden with perfume and a gentle little laughter tinkling on the night breezes. The driver admitted to Nosey that he tried to go "south" with the lady and she wanted to go west. The driver believes that she IS from THE WEST the way she handles a little steel "smoke iron." You never can tell from the way they look what they will do. SOME PEOPLE (in fact, most every body) are putting up a yell about the secrecy of money and say it is a time for sack cloth and ashes, but Nosey cannot see it. He went to the new dance fad—"A Breakfast Dance" at the Unity—expecting to get a free "hand-out," and instead was greeted with laughter, song and dance. The Monday Breakfast Dance was not for the poor and the unemployed, but for a "morning dance." It happens every Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Nosey saw the lady who recently pawned her wedding ring dancing with her hall room lodger and many ladies who should have been doing housework while their hubbies were hitting the road or toiling the usual eight hours per. Not convinced that this was the land of plenty, Nosey dropped in Monday afternoon at Dreamland to the "Afternoon Dance," and that was packed to the doors and music, laughter and song filled the air and food and drink arrived the tables. Nosey is still trying to believe that the times are hard, but it does not look that way if you follow the crowd. EVERY NIGHT that Nosey tries to get in early something keeps him up late. Tuesday night Nosey had to spend five hours following a prominent man who is usually silent and grum, as he wandered about with three packages and a basket. He first dropped the basket and then one of the bundles as he staggered on, trying to find a number on the boulevard. He rang seven bells and insisted at each that Carriettia lived there. His two friends whom he met could not persuade him from the search, although they stopped long enough to partake of some of the contents of one of the packages which, the tail of all had not broken or spilled on the sidewalk, the last stop he still insisted that he see Carriettia, but habit was too strong and he was at home without knowing it. Something jerked him inside out of the vision of Nosey and then the fun began. Nosey smiled, then languaged as he thought about the splendid tale that he would tell his wife about Carriettia. Has anybody seen Carriettia? YOU HAVE heard about the Dance and Benefit that is being given for the unemployed at the Eighth Regiment Armory on the 18th of the month? Nosey has traveled all around the town telling people about this affair and everybody says that they are going to be there with bells on. Take the hint—get a ticket—help in the biggest thing ever pulled off in Chicago. Get your horn, buy a ticket and help crowd the Armory.

HARRIS Edward Harrison Carry Having developed from an ordinary agent for the Standard Life, of Attica, Ga., to an agency supervisor and builder of an active agency force in three different states, Edward Harrison Carry, recently selected for the position of director of agencies of the Liberty Life is a man of wide and practical life insurance experience. Successful alike in training him as he was in inspiring children, Mr. Carry's life is an illustration showing that success comes to men in proportion to their ability to over come obstacles. Mr. Carry was born in Galveston, Tex., in 1877. His father died three years thereafter, leaving the mother and four small children. The boys worked on the grandmother's farm and alternated one with another to get a college education, the two graduating from Bishop's College in 1899. Later Mr. Carry graduated from Tuskegee and won a scholarship to the Teacher's College, Columbia University, New York City. From 1903 to 1910 he was principal of the Brunswick, Ga., city school. From this position he resigned in 1910 to accept the principalship of the M. W. Gibbs high school of Little Rock, Ark. While in Georgia, Mr. Carry became interested in the Standard Life, and began to see its possibilities. In 1916, after having spent six years at the head of the high school, he decided to enter the insurance field. His rapid rise from an agent to supervisor for three states was the result. Mr. Carry is an example of the character of men that are constantly being added to the organization of the Liberty Life Insurance Company. The officials are determined to get the best men that the country has produced, for they know that with such a force success is more than assured. Mr. Carry will enter upon his duties the first of May. His family of a wife and three sons will move to this city about that time and will occupy an apartment in a building Mr. Carry purchased some time ago. reports would not be gladly received (gratis) but that under conditions stated "preference" would be given.

Next meeting will be held Saturday evening at same address, April 16th, at 8:30 o'clock. MUST WE GROW OLD?

He made no statement upon being arrested. John Seeley, 4519 Prairie avenue, also claimed to have been fleeced by Seltzer. Seeley says he gave Seltzer $1,500 in November, 1920, to purchase property at 4740 Prairie avenue. Seltzer returned $500 of the money after failing to make the purchase, but has never returned the balance. Mrs. Vena Walker, 4228 Calumet avenue, claimed that she gave Seltzer $250 to purchase property for her, and that neither was the property purchased or the money refunded. At the preliminary hearing Saturday morning, the case was continued until April 22. Seltzer is represented by Atty. A. E. Patterson. Mr. King, Seltzer's partner, is not involved in the charges.

After picking through the labyrinth of ignorance displayed by the witnesses the only fact ascertained by the coroner's jury was that Robert Patten was killed. However, it seems to be a fact that Robert Frierson shot Patten just below the heart. Patten was taken to the Provident Hospital, where he died almost immediately. It appears that the two men quarreled over a tray of dishes which was being carried by Frierson into the kitchen. Although several men were present during the altercation, no one of them would admit that he saw Frierson shoot Patten. When police arrived upon the scene it is said that Frierson was advised by fellow employees to go to the waiters' dressing room on the floor above. This he did. When officers found him there he denied being the man who had had trouble in the kitchen. He also gave another name. In his locker was found a revolver with one chamber empty. Frierson Held For Murder. In spite of his exoneration by the coroner's jury Frierson was booked by the police for murder. At the preliminary hearing Tuesday morning at Harrison street court, his case was continued to April 28. It is rumored that State's Attorney Crowe will investigate the jurors, and the conduct of Bart Evans, deputy coroner during the inquest. One interesting feature of the inquest was the fact that Frierson would not submit himself to examination on the witness stand. South Bend, Ind. The Walters A. M. E. Zion Choir rendered an excellent program to an appreciative audience Friday night, April 8th, before their return to Chicago. They also sang at the Oliver hotel and the Y. M. C. A. Thanks to Rev.

The fraternity plans to work not only through its fifteen chapters, but through the leading colleges, high schools, Christian associations, literary organizations and churches throughout the country. These organizations are being enlisted that there might be brought home to all of the race the very great importance of a closer study of its own literature and history. These organizations are being asked to lay especial emphasis on this matter during the week of the campaign, and to join heartily in such plans as may be suggested to them by those taking the initiative in the movement.

Mrs. Grace Johnson, 3160 Wabash Avenue, filed a unit against the Most Worshipful Saint Marks Grand Lodge of F. and A. Y. Mussons Prince Hall (Compact), jurisdiction of Illinois, and obtained judgment in the sum of $475 as death and funeral benefits on account of the death of her husband, Henry Johnson, a member of Alstork Lodge No. 5. A suit was brought in the Municipal Court of Chicago and it appears that Mr. Johnson was a member of the Masons who it is claimed are the clandestine Masons of Illinois, who by their constitution, by laws and regulations agreed to pay the said sum on the death of members. From the pleadings in the court it appears that Mr. Johnson died about August 1920, while in good standing with the bodge and that after Mrs. Johnson had made many unsuccessful efforts to collect the death benefit she retained to the firm of Ellis & Westbrook. After demands upon the Compact Masons the money was not forthcoming and a suit was brought and a judgment obtained. It further appears from the files that one J. N. Brooks, was Grand Master of Alstork Lodge and that he resides in 4045 Feral Street, Chicago, Illinois, and that one J. C. McKibbons, is Grand Master for the State of Illinois and resides in 5239 South State Street, Chicago, Illinois. Benefit Cake Walk And Boll To Be A Great Event.

Music Notes The Emotional Musician That music must spring from both the head and the heart is a foregone conclusion by all thinking people; that the head should in great measure control the heart is also freely available. The music of musicians to definitely decide to just what extent the heart may have have. This depends greatly upon the technical ability and the musicians' ability to bore in mind that although the artist must interest and sway the audience he must also control the emotions and this can be done by directing his own. The ideas of the composer should be brought out as much as possible through it is permitted that a musician may to some extent stamp the interpretation with his own individuality there should be no resorting to music that is not appropriate. Short the emotional musician may be a great power or he may become a comic figure, the result depending greatly upon his own individuality. A dependent in greater measure still on his control of his emotions. The Jackson orchestra concerts will be given by the Jackson Music School.

Now that the firebrand Dempsey has about cinched a meeting with Carpenter, we will hear much guff over the prowess of the champ. The belief will not down; Dempsey is wary of Willard and shakes in his shoes at the sound of the name Harry Wills. Carpenter, after going through the horrors of war as a French soldier, cannot be and certainly is not the man he was when he stood to toe to toe with the tough Joe Jeanette and other other battles and gave them a good argument. Except parts of the land are lined in their desolate areas that the wiley jack was afraid to give to Willard a elfance ahead of the Frenchman, selecting the latter on the supposition of his probable pany make-up and badly flayed physique as a result of the wear and tear of war, which left the Frenchman encausted and many pounds shy of a real heavyweight. Jack Cautions Many of Dempsey's friends openly declare that they hate to think what would have happened to the "Terror" had he unfortunately faced Langford in his best days, as well as a few other darks, out of respect for Dempsey's feelings, unnamed. The terrible Dempsey is said to be so cautious that he refused to visit the grave of the great "Non- NEGRO NATIONAL LEAGUE READY FOR ACTION Optimistic Reports Emanate from All Camps and a Fierce Flag Race Is in the Making. That anxious waiting that has been gripping the hungry baseball fans for the past five months will in a measure be relieved this week when the big leaguers and the major colored league solos swing their pastimers into action. All of the Negro National League Clubs have games booked for the week-end, which go down as exhibition bouts, with the big opening of the league carded for May 1st at all points along the dark circuit. Electric-lighted reports of great diamond deeds concerning the great colored team that represents Chicago in the baseball firmament has hogged the center of the glare for the past couple of months, and now as time would have it the fans this week will have that much-cherished opportunity to judge for themselves as to whether the Foster crew are masters of all they survey in the baseball world, as reports have it. The dark champs got back to taw early this week, packing a batch of scalps. It appears that their tomahawks worked ever on an of the pates of the Royal Giants down in Florida, and leaving that balmy clime, their reign of terror extended across the Southern country as far west as Arkansas. The mad rush of the warriors was halted long enough for them to receive the emaculate coat a couple of times at the hands of John Loyd's braves, and the dose was repeated by a little band of fighters down in Georgia, who had a left-handed heaver hurling the darts. So the champs are susceptible to truncions and a worthy foe has been secured to exemplify that fact. Sunday, April 17th, the Rogers Parks of the Chicago Mid-West Association will tackle "Rube" Foster's team. Place, Scholling Park, 39th and Wentworth. Time, 3:30 p. m. A. B. C.'s Off C. I. Taylor, president of the Hoosier Baseball Club, is all he up over the prospects, playing and otherwise, for the coming season. Manager Ben Taylor has planned to give Indianapolis a rejuvenated baseball team, one that can go out and fight from the sound of the gong for the first round to the finish of the league splash. Ben is working his charges up to speed and daring deeds on the base path, a capable defense coupled with a dash and penetrating offense in the early weeks of the race, and he believes that system will just about wind such aggregations as the American Giants, Kansas City, Bacchairan Giants 'and others whose most dependable men have undergone strenuous fare for the past few months in winter games. The new men, Perry, Shortstop Williams, Mackey, as well as Day and others of the new A. B. C. team, greatly enhance the possibilities of a runner-up place for the Taylorites, if not first honors. Lovd's Gang. We get it that John Henry Loyd unloaded this week at Columbus and at once got down to business shaping his roster into a playing machine. Loyd found the nucleus for a pretty classy ball team awaiting him. They don't grow 'em any better than George Britt, the lad who heaved sensationally for the Daytous last year. Then what manager wouldn't like to grab a player that can slam the ball like Alexander, that big outgardner, also a versatile and efficient chap like Lane. Big Wingfield is another grand pastimer, and these fellows are all young and fast. These fellows, with what Loyd brings from the East, should give the Buekeye capita populate a team that should cause them to hear pennant flag flappings as early as July 4th. pariel," Jack Dempsey, whose name he is using. The other Dempsey rests at Portland, Ore., and every champion visiting that section of the country always goes to the grave of one of the world's famous and most gallant boxers. This Dempsey stayed away on the superstitions excuse that every champion has to head at the grave of the "Nonpariel" straightway lost his title or worse. Fulton Cited. Much different from the terrible Dempsey is the disposition of Fred Fulton, who, because Dempsey and the rest of the clan will not fight him, is forced to take on the tough darks to make a livelihood. All the other prominent white heavyweights have drawn the color line. They profess to have done so through racial pride or prejudice, but have really done so through fear, as in the case of Dempsey, who drew it after a vote had been taken by the New York press. The fans were asked to say whether they wanted to see Dempsey fight Wills. On the poll seven eighths of the votes cast were or the fight. So Dempsey was made a great opponent, a great friend. Jack had just stated he did not bar any man. But he drew the color line the moment he learned that the public wanted to see him and Wills in the ring together. The only white man who has dared to tackle Wills so far has been Fred Fulton. THE FORMIDABLE ST.

Joe Green's Giants braved the chilly breezes that encompassed the Windy City last Sunday and pulled a creditable exhibition. They went against the strong Normals, and with a practical recruit line-up gave the leaguers a fierce battle. Green's gang of 15 players, including Bauchman and young Dunean, while Luther held the leaguers in check for four frames, when the atmosphere began to tell, and the Normal rush to the platter with five runs. Big Taylor took up the burden in the eighth, and with three men on a leager scratched a hit through the infield, scoring a run. The features of the contest were divided between Jennings and Beckwith, the latter holding down the score by some mighty classy fielding. Dunean received with that same efficiency as of yore, while Green's recruit first sacker, Walls, displayed streaks of the makings of a real performer. Brewer, another new one this time, gave a pretty exhibition of bunting and is a fast man. The score: NORMALS r. h. po. a.

When the American Giants take the field Sunday at Schorling Park, the fans will be given the chance to lamp the work of "Rube's" new battery Pitcher "Lefty" Starks and Catcher Pointexter will be in the heavy rolls Sunday and the fans are in for a rare treat. Starks was acquired from the crack Hillsdale Club of Philadelphia, where his great ability on the slab attracted the big chief's notice. He has not lost a game since he joined Foster's forces, and is one of the few players that went through the hard winter campaign without a setback or loss of form. Catcher Pointexter comes from the famous Black Barons of Birmingham, Ala., and is said to be a topnotcher behind the plate. The debut of the battery pair should be an auspicious one, as the Rogers Park team is a worthy trial horse; that fact is well established. The Week's Schedule Taylor's A. B.

American Giants Win. OUR AMERICAN GIANTS ARE HERE SUNDAY OUR AMERICAN GIANTS ARE HERE SUNDAY “Rube” Foster and his baseball charges will be on dress parade this Sunday at their home park, and the Rogers Park baseball team, one of the strongest aggregations around these parts, have been picked to parade with the dark champs and incidentally measure wares. Lest ye forget, this is the same team that put it on the chesty Fosterites last season, and it was for a couple of games. As this game was booked last year, it no doubt is to give the South State Street athletes a chance to either catch up on last season's score or suffer a blotter on a great record that has them the best in this broad land in their particular class. DeMoss is heading a cripple bunch of pastimers right now, but declares that he has enough men in condition to down the North Side Irish, and plans to trot out Ironman Tom Johnson to shoot at the enemy, he being a mighty tough pitcher to beat right now, and then the lieutenant does not need warm breezes in order to function smoothly. The Rogers Parks are all primed for the fray, having already this spring downed the strong University of Chicago squad, they come prepared to take the Americans to a fall. Big Erickson as per usual, will be behind the mask for the whites, and he knows the weals and strong points of colored players batting just about as well as any one unless it be “Rube” or DeMoss. If Dixon's leg will permit, he will catch otherwise Brown or the new recruit receiver may be behind the bat. The game is called at 3:30 p. m., and will be at American Giants' Park. DETROIT STARS READY FOR THE GONG DETROIT, Mich., April 12. The opening game of the Detroit Stars was postponed in Detroit on account of cold weather. The Stars will play the strong Paulus Club next Sunday and the fans will get a chance to see the new players in action. Miller, third baseman signed contract with Stars and jumped to the outlaws and Johnson Hill, third baseman of Alexander Giants of Los Angeles, was signed and reported to the Stars last week. Hill comes to the Stars with a great reputation as being one of the very best third sackers in the game today. He is a brainy, fast man and a good hitter, and with Wesley, Warfield, Riggins and J. Hill the Stars will have the fastest infield in the league. In losing Miller the Stars gained a much better man in Hill. With Big Bill Gatewood, Holland and Cooper Manager Hilt signed Pitcher Force, the pitching ace of the Knoxville Giants last season, and Lefty Lane from the East, and the pitching staff looks to be the class of the league, and it is bound to cause the other owners a lot of worry and sleepless nights. Pete Hill and his Colts will have a whole lot to say before the pennant winner is decided next fall. The Stars did their spring training at home and had plenty of good weather and Hill and his boys are ready for the gong. Credit must be given the Detroit management for sparing no expense to give to the fans of Detroit a winning team, and Tenny Blount, the Wolverine owner, will never be satisfied until Detroit has a championship team. An A. B. C. Ace CLEVELAND "Dicta" Johnson is another veteran pitcher whose work last year stamps him as a worthy foe for all comers this season. With a trio of boxmen of the caliber of "Dicta", Taylor's squad would spell victory in bold type. HILLDALE CLUB DARBY, Pa., Tuesday, April 12. Yesterday eighteen men assembled at Hildale's dressing rooms and Ed Bolden proceeded to instruct and weld together his wonderful team for this year's pennant race in the National Association of Colored Baseball Clubs. Bob Bailey, an infielder, and Fred Daniels, a pitcher, fresh from Texas, are expected to strengthen the regulars. Brown, Dobbins and Stevens are promising youngsters, who will fight it out for a regular berth. Santop and York, catchers; Whit worth, Cockrell, Rector and Flournoy, pitchers; Allen, Cummings, Downs, Frames, infielders; White, Briggs and Johnson, outfielders, look good, as most of them have been playing during the winter in Cuba, Palm Beach and Los Angeles, Calif.

The legal system in the South, commented, is good set of laws on the statute books in that they compared favorably with those which patterned after those of England. The mistake most casual investigators fall in did not see them put into operation. Use of laws and legal systems, according to the Harvard law school, is to satisfy the laws are supposed to offer substance suffer because of their infraction. The law there is a law without a remedy, an old Price Denman, remarked that "It is as if it the law is 'tinkling brass and sounding thousands of black men who seem to be used by being forced to live therein. Jailed imp of hell, who murdered masses of Jasper county, which accommodation has been tried by a judge and a jury of found guilty. The jury recommended Jailed Williams to life imprisonment. 'Juvenile bristish beast and men have lost their life of life imprisonment entails a possible immediate parole for good behavior. and heinous crime who is unfit to abide allowed to survive while his hapless victim bloody soil of "death farm"—meanwhile slowly decomposed by the elements of Capital punishment is provided to free. If John Williams is fit to live, then political murderers of all times. Call back! Ginnis! Call back Hans Schmidt! Call back all the muders of the past! Let usate posts of Georgia's judgment temp blood. It has been declared that Willis has public opinion is the cause of the Williams do not believe that the lives of eleven none blackguard white man. In Illinois, herer, Wanderer, was sentenced to serve or opinion was brought to bear and Wandr murder of the ragged stranger and was a neck until dead. In Illinois Williams wews do not operate toward the consumers not seem to want justice, it seems to owe even peonage and murder do not repulse wealth. Main eight murders, separate and districts can be indicted and punished. For the trust from nature into eternity by the ruins, he is morally and legally accountable. Give for its past lynchings or will it continue a fair face of civilization? When ex-Ambassador Bryce was in this country representing the English government, he at the same time collected material for his very excellent book, "The American Commonwealth." Mr. Bryce, in studying the legal system in the South, commented that he observed a very good set of laws on the statute books in Georgia and Alabama and that they compared favorably with those of Massachusetts, which were patterned after those of England. Mr. Bryce made the same mistake most casual investigators fall into. He read the laws but did not see them put into operation. The purpose of laws and legal systems, according to the late Ezra Ripley Thayer, of the Harvard law school, is to satisfy and sanction human desires. The laws are supposed to offer substantial remedies for those who suffer because of their infraction. The law gives remedies and when there is a law without a remedy, an old English judge, Mr. Chief Justice Denman, remarked that "It is as if it were not." In Georgia the law is "tinkling brass and sounding cymbal" as far as it concerns thousands of black men who seem to be thrice and four times cursed by being forced to live therein. John Williams, the cold-blooded imp of hell, who murdered eleven black men in the murky recesses of Jasper county, which accommodates the tragic "death farm," has been tried by a judge and a jury of twelve men. He has been found guilty. The jury recommended mercy. The judge sentenced Williams to life imprisonment. "Judgment thou hast flown to brutish beast and men have lost their reason." A sentence of life imprisonment entails a possibility of a future pardon or an immediate parole for good behavior. Thus a perpetrator of a vile and heinous crime who is unfit to abide in the land of the living is allowed to survive while his hapless victims lay rotting beneath the bloody soil of "death farm"—meanwhile others of his victims are slowly decomposed by the elements of the ghostly Yellow river. Capital punishment is provided to free society from unfit subjects. If John Williams is fit to live, then call back to life the most diabolical murderers of all times. Call back Becker! Call back Mrs. Mc Ginnis! Call back Hans Schmidt! Call back Czolgosz! Call back all the muders of the past! Let them all live! But let the gate posts of Georgia's judgment temple be stained with human blood. It has been declared that Williams is fit to live. Georgia's public opinion is the cause of the Williams decision. The Georgians do not believe that the lives of eleven black men are worth that of one blackguard white man. In Illinois, recently when the wife-murderer, Wanderer, was sentenced to serve only twenty-five years, public opinion was brought to bear and Wanderer was reindicted for the murder of the ragged stranger and was then sentenced to hang by the neck until dead. In Illinois Williams would hang. In Georgia the laws do not operate toward the consummation of justice. Georgia does not seem to want justice, it seems to crave white supremacy, and even peonage and murder do not repulse the spirit of that commonwealth. There remain eight murders, separate and distinct, for which John Williams can be indicted and punished. For the eleven souls which were thrust from nature into eternity by the ruthless hand of this murderer, he is morally and legally accountable. Will Georgia act and retrieve for its past lynchings or will it continue to remain a blot upon the fair face of civilization? Thrills. we were toddling younsters around our of Santa Claus or the coming of a wife our blood to tingle and to course more our nerves would be set on edge and a wife through our puerile bodies. Now that wife time has brought to us its inevitable selves if any thrills are left? we who hail from the Southern States that they would throw up their hats and shi Was in Dixie," but the lynchers rope and ash have long since made Dixie a land up the smoldering embers of hate by Old Glory is unfurled to the breeze and she of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" of Forever," patriotism and loyalty struggle When we were toddling younsters around our mother's knee, the mention of Santa Claus or the coming of a wonderful circus would cause our blood to tingle and to course more swiftly through our veins; our nerves would be set on edge and a wonderful thrill would ring through our puerile bodies. Now that we are men and women and time has brought to us its inevitable disillusions we often ask ourselves if any thrills are left? To those who hail from the Southern States the memory still prevails when they would throw up their hats and shout to the tune of "I Wish I Was in Dixie," but the lynchers rope and the bonfires of human flesh have long since made Dixie a land of hell and its anthems stir up the smoldering embers of hate but produce no thrills. When Old Glory is unfurled to the breeze and as we uncover to the tune of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" or to the "Stars and Stripes Forever," patriotism and loyalty struggle with various impulses but the spontaneous thrills which once quickened our blood does not come. The thoughts of Jim Crow armies, the KuKlux, riots and insults drive down the thrills and bring up the tears of bitterness. Still this is our native land and our souls are not dead. The Frenchman is carried into the seventh heaven of joy as the first note of the Marseilles is sounded and as he hurls "Vive la France" from open lips, we envy him. As the Englishman pulls at his hair and lifts up his head when the British bands strike up "Rule Britannica, Rule the Waves," and "God Save the King" his ecstacies run wild. The thrill is there. Germany, even though crushed and trampled, thrills when it listens to the "Watch on the Rhine." Is every thrill in the heart of the American black man forever submerged? Is this infant race eternally destined to morbidity and sordidity? We have not yet leaned towards the Cynics and Stoics. Hope is not yet destroyed. Thrills slumber but they will awaken, they will again awaken to the old tunes but it is to the new tunes that they will convulse. It will be to the tunes of race pride and race achievements. With the "eye of the mind" let us glimpse at a colloidal sky scraper lifting its sunkissed dome high in the heavens. Les us climb to its observation towers and look down upon humanities teeming millions. Then let us realize that it was our own handicraft and Horrified: GEORGIA THE DESTINY MORT 11 HILLLED ON WILLIAM HAM VICTIM'S KNOCK IN HEAD WILLOW AND POKE ME ENDURE FRANCH DIVORCE HATRED MURDER PEONAGE GAPINE HENRY BROW NY our finance that raised this building and let us realize that we will see many more of such stupendous creations. What man of black ancestors would not thrill? Our race pride will be cemented by our accomplishments. We shall achieve because the desire is present and the means are within our grasp. The black man's industrial and economic prowess must give him the standard pride from which thrills arise and emanate. As we develop our own institutions, as we wean ourselves from our pale-faced overlords and become more self-sustaining, then unto us will firmer recognition be given. The laws of America place a higher premium upon property than they do upon human life. Our property must be increased. It is a recognized fact that a man must make his interests weigh enough to be considered. It would be inconvenient for the American white man to place the black man upon an equal footing with himself. If however the interest of the black happened to outweigh the inconveniences of his white brother his claims would be considered. The spirit of the new age is upon us. Our next great thrill will be the one great thrill of a lifetime. The thrill of success. The dreamer may dream his dreams and they may never come true but he of the vision brings forth hope and courage. We will thrill again and the world will thrill with us. Y. M. C. A.

Governor Len Small, our recently elected capable governor of the State of Illinois, who wishes to co-operate with the physicians and the public health officials in promoting the health of the community has proclaimed April 17th to 23rd, 1921, health week. His idea of health week not only consists in cleaning the yards, vacant lots, alleys, burn- A. B.

The health program begins on Sunday with the ministers and Sunday School Superintendents impressing upon the congregation the importance of health and that "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." The following is the plan for the remainder of the week: Monday is designated as clean-up day, cleaning of homes, yards, vacant lots, alleys and burning of rubbish. Let it not be said that certain section can be pointed as colored neighborhoods, because of the general rundown filthy conditions. This will not be said if everybody makes himself or herself a committee of one to see that their yard is clean of paper and rubbish and their alleys are not full of tin cans, garbage glass and debris. Beautify your home or the place you live by having a green well kept lawn and plant a few flowers. Tuesday—fly, insect and rat extinction day. Swat every fly you see. Remember that the fly breeds in fifth Do not allow filth to accumulate. What is true about the fly's food is true about the other insect and rats. They feed on filth. Starve them out, don't let them thrive on your filth. Wednesday—Better Baby Day Mother should obtain from the infant welfare stations instructions and pamphlets concerning the care of the baby which includes the proper dress the proper food and the proper time for nursing the baby. Thursday—Birth Registration Day Parents who have had children and their physicians did not register the birth of their child should look into the matter and have it done at once. Friday—Health lectures for school children—high school and college students. Saturday—Medical examination days This is for people who have never been near a physician in years to have stock taken of their physical condition to see if their skin, blood, kidney, lungs, nerves and digestive organs are functioning properly. Remember the old saying handed through generations—that "A stitch in time saves nine." THE CHURCHES A. PRACTICAL CHURCH Dr. I. Russell Harvey, of St. Mary's A. M. e. church, 5247 Dearborn St., and his flock of wide-wake church workers have devised a novel plan to wipe out the $30,000 indebtedness of the organization. The plan, as outlined by the Rev. Dr Harvey, contains two features that might be styled very unique in their way. In the first instance Alfred Clover, the president of one of the thriving casualty companies on the south side, has agreed to give the church $5,000 of the $30,000 indebtedness providing the organization raises the remaining $25,000. Then it was that the Montgomery Company came to the fore with an offer that includes an opportunity to wipe out at least $20,000 of the balance. This company is the manufacturer of a "wonderful renovator" that they stamp as an indispensable household necessity. St. Mary's congregation has taken upon itself the sale of 100,000 packages of this product from which sales the church will receive $20,000 to be applied to the debt. St. Mary's church is rated among the more progressive of the local religious organizations. It was born in the locality near to the present new structure 16 or 17 years ago. Social activities are combined with the more formal religious work of the congregation and it is one of the favorite rallying points of the colored people in the Town of Lake section of the city. Dr. Harvey aims to burn the mortgage on the very first day of 1922. "My idea," he said recently, "is to get St. Mary's out of debt by the end of next year so that we can go about the work of doing a big practical socio-religious work among the people in our particular town. I am going to sincerely try to mix our prayers with real work for the Christianizing and general uplift. We have rolled up our sleeves and intend going to it and stick until we get the job finished." St. Paul C. M. E. Church. The attendance here Sunday was unusually large. Rev. Winters unfolded to the morning worshippers a glorious message. At 4:30 o'clock the Busy Bee Club presented some favorite artists at the "Art and Intellect Hour." Mme. DeWitt Smith's rendition of "Semper Liberna," from the Italian opera "Travinta," was superb. Mme. Scott in "The Swallows" and Leroy Smith as coronetist were good. In the evening Rev. Jay filled the pulpit. The pastor and congregation are much elated over the cancellation of entire indebtedness of the church. The date of "mortgage burning" will be announced in the near future. The Steward Board is giving a big reception April 18th in honor of Father Samuel Johnson's 85th birthday. Dr. J. A. Handett, editor of the "Christian Index," worshipped here yesterday. Bishop R. A.

In the absence of the pastor, Rev Dr. Williams, the pulpits at the Thirty-first Street and South Park were filled by the assistant pastors, Rev. H. B Hawkins and J. C. Carroll.

I have a lease that expires in April 1922, and my landlord has given me sixty days notice to move on April 30, 1921. My husband and I separated six years ago—I had two insurance policies on his life and he had two on mine. He let mine drop and I continued to pay the premiums on his. We got a divorce recently and he wants me to give years ago-I had two insurance policies on his life and he had two on mine. He let mine drop and I continued to pay the premiums on his. We got a divorce recently and he wants me to give him his policies. Can he take them from me? If you are the beneficiary, and they contain a clause requiring your signature before they can be assigned to someone else, he will, of course, have to secure your signature. Since you have been paying the premiums, why not try to settle the matter amicably. No doubt he would be willing to give you back all you have paid out. Dear Madame: We have a lease that expires April 30th. We got notice to vacate the flat at that time, but we have decided to stay in the flat and fight it as we know the landlord wants more rent. We understand we do not have to pay rent while the case is in court. Will you please advise us what to do? You will not have to pay rent while your case is pending in the Appellate Court, if you appeal the case after you lose but you will be required to put up a bond covering twice what the rent will be for the time you stay there, and the money will be taken out of that bond as well as all the amount due for the damage you have done the landlord while you remained in the apartment and kept him out of possession. It is a costly proceeding in the end. Better move. Dear Madame: I married within a year after I secured a divorce in Illi- Last Friday evening, Dr. Sutton E.

I was married in Galveston, August 24th, 1915, and me and my wife and mother-in-law had some words, and I was living with my wife's mother, and moved away, and my mother-in-law would not let my wife live with me, but took her to Oklahoma to her mother's people, and I haven't seen her in five years nor heard from her. She has been living with another man and they are going as man and wife, and they have one child, and she tells people that know her that she got a divorce and married to this man. She couldn't have got a divorce without me knowing it. Her mother is living with her daughter now and the man and my wife are all in Dallas keeping house now. So please tell me in the next paper.
