Working on one slender clue, police authorities are still trying to clear up the murder of George Fields in the basement of Dreamland Cafe, early Friday morning. Walter Hill, 405 Vincennes Apartments, and Lemonine George, 3521 State St., are being held in connection with the murder. Claude Hill, who was arrested at 24 E. 38th St., has been released and absolved from any connection with the affair. He is being held to the Morals, court however, on evidence gathered in the flat where he was arrested. A large quantity of gin and whiskey was found in the flat where Claude Hill was arrested. Lemonine George is being held to account for the pistol which was found near the scene of the murder, which has been identified as his. Lemonine maintains that the gun is no longer his, he having sold it. Bartender Murdered' In Basement. Fields was found dead in the basement of the cafe after Daniel Madden, a watchman, living at 1610 Indiana Ave. had been wounded in a battle with the bandits who had killed Fields, and were supposedly fleeing from the scene. Madden was shot through the shoulder and taken to the Provident Hospital. Madden says of the affair: "I had gone into an alley by the cafe when I heard two shots. I went toward the cafe and saw two men—light skinned, they seemed to be. 'Well, we got the whiskey, they said.' "I tried to arrest them. They fired at me. I shot back, then felt the bullet in my right shoulder." When police arrived upon the scene, they said all doors and windows to the place were locked. Within the cafe, the cash register was found open. A $10 bill lay upon the floor. $150 was missing from the cash register. Murderer Concealed Self In Cafe. On account of the fact that all doors and windows were found locked, the police are working on the theory that the murderer bid himself in the cafe before it closed. Upon this theory Walter Hill was at once arrested. Several months ago it is said that he was found hiding in the cafe after it had been closed. He has also been partially identified by the wounded watchman. Relatives of the Hill boys maintain that they were both in bed asleep at the time of the murder. Walter at his mother's home in the Vincentes Apartments, and Claude at the flat in 38th St. Hill Boys Last Ones Seen In Cafe In addition to the slender thread of circumstantial evidence connecting the Hill brothers to the crime, witnesses say that they were the last persons seen in the cafe at closing time. One of them is said to have remarked that he was "broke," and needed money. After taking several chances on a punchboard in the bar, they disappeared. Fields, who was 36 years of age, lived in Hinsdale. His wife, from whom he was separated, lived at 3817 Vernon Ave. His funeral was held Monday afternoon. The inquest was continued to April 27.

ENDS ILLICIT ROMANCE WITH TWO BULLETS ENDS ILLICIT ROMANCE WITH TWO BULLETS Follows Wife To Scene Of Rendezvous And Kills Student. Infidelity to the marriage vows featured prominently in the black pall of murder which lowered itself over Chicago last week. Green Leroy Spears, age 29, residing at 3351 Prairie Ave., was shot dead by Henry Woods, 5246 Federal Ave. The shooting took place Thursday night at the corner of Thirty-third street and Wabash Ave., and is said to have been caused by Woods' jealousy over his wife's attention to Spears. Once a Roomer with Woods Family, Spears, who was a student at the Chicago Commercial Institute, had previously been a groom at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Woods. It was during his stay there that Mrs. Woods became interested in him. When Henry Woods discovered this interest he warned Spears and Spears moved away from their home in an evident attempt to avoid trouble. He then secured lodgings with Mrs. Jones, 3351 Prairie Ave. Pursued by Mrs. Woods. Mrs. Woods made several attempts to see Spears after he had left her home, but without success, it is said Thursday he received a letter asking him to come to a house in the vicinity of Thirty-third street and Wabash Ave., on "important business." This address later turned out to be the home of a relative of the Woods woman. Not knowing whom he was to meet, he went to the house. Friends of the slain man say that he saw Mrs. Woods approaching the same address, and turned to walk away. Then it was that Mrs. Woods overtook him and engaged him in conversation. Husband Appears on Scene. At this juncture, Henry Woods, who had evidently been following his wife, appeared on the scene, revolver in hand. He fired two shots, both taking effect in the left side of Spears' head. The stricken man fell to the sidewalk while policemen attracted by the shooting pursued his assailant. Mrs. Woods fled from the scene. Spears died upon reaching Provident Hospital. Henry Woods has been held on charges of murder. The inquest over Spears' body was continued to April 27. Relatives of the slain man appeared Monday and employed the Keystone National Detective Agency to probe the details of the murder. An interesting feature in the affair is the report that Woods walked the entire distance from his home at Fifty-second street and Federal Ave. to the scene of the slaying, with his revolver in his hand, to avoid the charge of carrying "concealed weapons."

BANDIT'S CAREER REGISTERS KICK, WILL POLITICIAN IS DEAD A woman's scream startled the early morning stillness shortly after midnight April 17, along Thirty-eighth street, between Prairie and Indiana avenues. Patrolman Covington of the Thirty-fifth precinct, who was walking west on Thirty-eighth street, heard the screams and ran to investigate. He was met by two men running from the alley. When he ordered their surrender, one of the fleeing men struck at him with an iron pipe. The policeman fired one shot, taking its effect in the victim's heart. The body was removed to the Provident hospital, where it remained unidentified. At the inquest hqld Monday afternoon, the body was identified as that of James McCharm, 3640 Wabash avenue. BE REMEMBERED WASHINGTON. D. C., April 23. —Voters in the state of Oklahoma will remember Congressman Charles D. Carter, of Oklahoma, if he ever comes to the polls for election again. Congressman Carter last week sent a letter to President Harding protesting against the appointment of a "Negro" as registrar of the treasury. Carter's objection was evidently based on the fact that approximately 500 white women are now working in this department and will be under the direct supervision of the new registrar.

Johnson, who was arrested at his home, 514 Broadway, claims that he is a "colored" man, although he is as fair as the average Caucasian. His wife, Mrs. Grace Henson Johnson, is of a very dark complexion. Johnson, 29 years old, applied for a marriage license here three weeks ago. He was denied it when the license clerk noticed the contrasting difference in his and his wife's color. On April 9, the two went to New Albany, where they secured a license and were married by the Rev. E. Louis Ravery. Several whites of the city contend that they know that Johnson is white, saying further that they are acquainted with white parents of his. In the meantime, Johnson stolidly claims to be "colored." The penalty in Indiana for intermarriage between the races is a fine of $100 to $1000, and a prison sentence from 1 to 10 years. SIX COUNTERFEITERS TRAPED; ALL UNDER 21 WASHINGTON, D.

Begin collecting votes at once. Rules of the Campaign Any reputable colored man or woman, boy or girl is eligible to enter the campaign and win a prize. Only colored people are allowed to share in the distribution of awards. Campaign begins at once and Nominations may be made at any time. No employee of The Whip or any member of his or her family is allowed to enter the election. The Whip reserves the right to reject any nomination. Winners of the automobile and other prizes will be decided by their accredited votes, said votes being represented by ballots issued on subscriptions and by coupons clipped from the paper. In case of a tie, an identical prize will be given to those tied. Subscriptions may be secured anywhere. Cash must accompany all subscriptions to receive votes. No distinction is made in the vote value of either old, new or extension subscriptions. Votes are free. It costs nothing for subscribers and readers to vote for their favorites. Votes will not be issued on receipts covering back payments. Votes can not be purchased. Every cent accepted by the Campaign Department must represent subscription payments. Votes are not transferable. One candidate cannot withdraw in favor of another candidate. Should a candidate withdraw from the campaign, his or her votes will be cancelled. Ballots issued on subscriptions may be held in reserve and voted at the discretion of the candidate. The printed vote coupons appearing in the paper each week must be voted before the expiration date appearing thereon. No statement or promise made by any solicitor, agent or candidate varying from the rules and statements published through this paper will be recognized by the publisher. In case of typographical or other error, it is understood that neither the publisher nor the campaign manager shall be responsible except to make the necessary corrections. It is distinctly understood that candidates will be responsible for all monies collected and that they will remit such amounts in full at frequent intervals or on demand. There will be several big prizes awarded, besides a twenty per cent cash commission to all ACTIVE non-prize winners but it is distinctly understood that in event ANY candidate becomes INACTIVE, failing to make a weekly cash report, he or she will become disqualified and thereby forfeit all right to a prize or a commission. To insure absolute fairness in awarding the prizes, the campaign will be brought to a close under a "sealed ballot box" system and will be under the personal supervision of two or more judges selected from the Advisory Board. During the entire last week of the election, candidates and their friends will deposit their final collections and reserve votes in the locked and sealed ballot box. And, not until the race is closed will the seals be broken and the judges begin the final count. In this way no one, not even the campaign manager or the publisher can possibly know the voting strength of the respective candidates which precludes any possibility of favoritism and insures fairness to the minutest degree. The Chicago Whip reserves the right to amend the rules of this election if necessary for the protection of the interest of both the candidates and this paper. In accepting nominations, the candidates agree to abide by the above conditions. THE ADVISORY BOARD It is the sincere aim of this newspaper to conduct this election, from start to finish, in a fair, honorable and impartial manner. Every precaution has been taken to safeguard the interest of the participants and absolute honesty in all dealings is guaranteed.

The personnel of the board is as follows: Alderman R. R. Jackson Ex-Alderman Oscar DePriest Frank Gillespie, Pres. Liberty Life Insurance Co. Dr. Geo. C. Hall Rev. L. K. Williams, Pastor, Ollvet Bapt.

A special ballot, good for 100,000 extra votes, will be issued on every $25.00 turned in. This arrangement will be in effect throut the entire campaign and is to be considered a part of the regular schedule. Remember this and lay your plans accordingly. HOW THE VOTES COUNT How to Enter the Campaign The object of this big distribution of rewards is two-fold:—Primarily it is to increase the already large circulation of The Chicago Whip and secondly, to afford our friends and readers an unparalleled opportunity to profit in a big way through their spare time in the next few weeks. So it is a plan that works both ways and for the good of all concerned. Let it be understood at the very beginning that this is not a "beauty" or "popularity" contest but it is strictly a competitive proposition for enterprising men and women, boys and girls. One big feature is that "Everybody Wins"—there are no losers. The plan of the campaign is the fairest and squarest imaginable and it is fully outlined in this announcement. The first step, in order to share in this mammoth distribution of costly awards is to clip and mail the Nomination Blank on page 1 of this issue. Fill in your name and address and mail or deliver to the Campaign Department of The Chicago Whip, 3420 State Street, Chicago. The coupon entitles you or the person you nominate 5,000 votes. These votes are given you as a starter and speed you on your way to win. The next step is to call on, phone or write the Campaign Department for a free outfit, consisting of a special receipt book, sample copies of the paper and other information relative to the campaign. Thus equipped, you have but to go to your friends and neighbors, relatives and acquaintances and have them clip the free coupons from their papers and pay up a subscription to The Chicago Whip through you. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT. However, you must make the start. Anything worth having is worth striving for. So, plan your campaign—get busy at once and let no one discourage you. A few short weeks and you may be riding around in your own car. It takes votes to win and votes are secured in two ways. First, by clipping the coupons in each issue of The Chicago Whip. Begin gathering them now. Very soon these coupons will be reduced to a lesser number of votes. The only restriction on the voting coupons is that they must be voted at Campaign Headquarters before the expiration date printed theron. Get your friends to save these coupons for you—they all count. The other and faster way to get votes is by securing new and renewal subscriptions to The Chicago Whip. On each subscription turned in a certain number of votes are issued, the number depending to the amount paid and during which "period" the subscriptions are received (See Schedule of Votes Below). So, you see, the more subscriptions you secure and the quicker you get them the more votes you will get and the better your chances are for capturing the Grand Capital Prize automobile. The advantages of an early start are apparent. Not only do you have the full SIX WEEKS in which to secure the winning votes, but from row up until June 4th you will receive the greatest number of votes for every subscription you secure. Then, too, the first in the field will get the 'cream' of the votes and subscriptions, while those who put off entering will have to take what is left. Don't lose valuable time waiting to see what the "other fellow" is going to do. Pitch right in NOW and show the "other fellow" how to do it. Be sure that your nomination is in RIGHT AWAY.

SMITH HITS AT GARVEY Says He iS Tired Of Black Star Line Misrepresentation. NEW YORK CITY, April 23.—The Garvey movement was this week the target of attack from two widely diverging angles. Bishop C. S. Smith of Detroit attacked the claims of the Garveyites that they had sent a ship to Africa with a boatload of "pioneers." Prince Madarin Denyi, who was called joke by the Garvey people, and who is a member of the nobility of a powerful Nigerian tribe, claims that he will cause the British government to knock to pieces what he calls the "Black Star Line scheme." He says that all the native kings and chiefs will help him punish Garvey for his consipracy and threatening speeches against the African rulers. Bishop Weney of Misrepresentations. Bishop C. S. Smith of Detroit has attacked the movement on the basis of statements made in the New York Independent of Feb. 26, which states that: "Fifteen pioneers of African independence—Negro surveyors, Negro architects, Negro builders, Negro chemists, Negro physicians—sailed recently from New York aboard Black Star Liners owned and operated by Negroes." Bishop Smith denies the truth of this statement, saying: The truth of this statement I challenge in a concrete manner, namely, I will donate a five hundred dollar 8 per cent bond of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Power and Light Company, dated November 1, 1920, and due November 1, 1930, with all coupons attached, to the Nurse Training Department of the Lincoln Hospital, New York City, if any of the Garvey propaganda will adduce satisfactory evidence that "fifteen pioneers of African independence," including surveyors, architects, etc., within the last three years, on a steamer of the "Black Star Line," sailed from the port of New York or any other port of the United States, for the Republic of Liberia, West Coast of Africa. (a) The names and home addresses of said "fifteen pioneers of African independence." (b) The name of the ship on which they sailed. (c) The name of the port from which they sailed. (d) The date of their sailing. (d) The date of their sailing. (e) An authenticated copy of the contract entered into between them and the Universal Negro Improvement Association to proceed to Liberta to follow their several vocations in using pioneer work for said association. The time for dalyling is past. The situation has grown serious. For one, I am weary of the misrepresentations and audacity of Marcus Garvey and his co-propagandists. Eason Makes Correction In an interview with J. W. E. Eason American leader, he said that the Independent was in error in stating that the delegation left on a "Black Star" ship that such a delegation did leave this country for the purposes mentioned.

Dyer, Republican, of Missouri, introduced a bill last week providing that persons accused of lynching shall be tried in Federal instead of State Courts, and that those found guilty of complicity in lynchings shall suffer the death penalty. Representative Dyer said his measure was in harmony with the declaration against lynching in the Republican platform. Madden Introduces Anti-"Jim-Crow" Bill. Representative Martin B. Madden, of Illinois introduced a bill providing that no railroad engaged in interstate commerce shall discriminate on account of the race or color of passengers. The Madden bill is aimed at railroads in the South. Mr. Madden attempted to include such a provision in the transportation act during the last session, but it was defeated. He expects to get it through this session. New Orleans, La. Mr. W. M. Hedgeman, 2014 Thalia Street, received a hasty call from his home, Canton, Miss., to the bedside of his sister who is very ill.

Members and friends spent a very joyous time at the week fair given for the purpose of raising building funds. Mrs. Tasby regrets very much that the people of her community will not respond to her request for news of the city. Everyone wants to read the Chicago Whip because it is the leading figure in the world. B. Callaway Tasby is agent and reporter of the Chicago Whip and wishes to have report of all news of the community. She is planning to publish the news of the churches also and if the churches are not interested enough to send in their own news Mrs. Tasby will make a call to the church and gather the information herself. PEONAGE IS NOW FOUND IN TENNESSEE Conditions Of Slavery Uncovered By Federal Officials. NEW PEONAGE EXPOSURE IN TENNESSEE. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., April 23.—Hardly has the country had time to recover from the shock of "death farm" atrocities in Jasper county, Georgia, when new exposures of actual slavery come to light, this time in a labor camp near Tate Springs. Federal officials have arrested four men on charges of conspiracy to hold men in peonage. The men arrested are P. R. Woods, superintendent, and three foremen employed by the Southern Construction, holding a large contract for the construction of the Lee highway, which extends from Virginia through East Tennessee southward. Say Men Owed Them Money. The government says the defendants claim the men owed them money advanced for railroad fare and board. All the enslaved men have been released by government men. Two, it is claimed, who attempted to escape and were beaten are not accounted for and may have been killed. The investigation followed reports to federal officials from farmers and others living in the vicinity of Morristown, summoned as a witness, is said to have arrested fugitives without formality of warrants simply on telephone requests from the camp. Awful Practices Alleged. Frightful conditions of peonage are charged in the warrants. One count recites that three peonies ran away on March 18 were recaptured, taken back, stripped of their clothing, laid across a tool chest in a tent occupied by one of the foremen and beaten with a pine board three feet long by six inches wide. One of the victims exhibited a broken wrist, which he said he sustained in trying to protect himself. The others also exhibited marks of violence. Two others were beaten and wounded the same day after they had run away. Armed guards made them work during the day and patrolled the camp at night to prevent further escapes. More than fifteen others told of being mistreated and held in peonage. If You See It In The Whip, It Is True.

You simply cannot lose—"Everybody Wins." Our Slogan—"Everybody Wins." The prizes are almost fabulously valuable, considering the extreme shortness of the time in which they will be distributed. Imagine securing prize which would cost you over $1200 in cash to buy a few days pleasant effort in vote-getting and that is all you have to do—simply gather in the votes. When you get started the votes pile up at an amazing rate. But one of the biggest features of all in this Grand Prize Distribution is the fact that there will be no losers, as a cash commission of twenty per cent (one-fifth of every subscription von collect) will be paid to all active non-prize winners which, in itself, is an excellent proposition. The object of this campaign is to advertise jointly The Whip and the splendid qualities of the Dixie Flyer touring car, to secure new and renewal subscriptions to The Whip and last, but not least, to win a warm welcome for The Whip everywhere. In short, The Whip will reward its friends very liberally indeed for their assistance in introducing this paper into more homes in the city and community, instead of employing outside solicitors at fancy salaries to accomplish the same result. A Short Campaign. This campaign will not be a long-drawn out affair of several months' duration, but it extends over a period of only a few weeks, closing Satur- NEWS FOR YOU! Stimulate Business!

Work, save as you never did before. Get double value later. Capital $200,000.00 Surplus $20,000.00 Lincoln State Bank of Chicago Under State Government Supervision 3105 SOUTH STATE STREET 3% Paid on Savings Accounts day night, June 25th. Think of being able to secure in about six short weeks prizes and awards that would ordinarily require months, yes even years, of self-denying and saving to acquire. These many awards will all be distributed in exchange for your spare time and interest in helping to enlarge our subscription list. This prize election will be more interesting and more profitable to the participants than any ever undertaken in this section or by any race newspaper anywhere. The prizes are not only rich in dollars and cents value, but are in keeping with the broad and liberal policy along which the whole grand prize distribution has been drawn. Ambition and energy are the only requisites for success in it. Cash Your Prize Perhaps you already have a car—in which case you may cash your prize and expend the $1,700 in travel, the nucleus for an education or for a home of your own; $1,700 is pretty good money to add to your present income for your spare moments during the holiday; and $1,700 that would otherwise go to waste. Little Effort Required. There is so little required of you to win out in The Whip's "Everybody Wins" campaign. All that you have to do is to ask your friends to save their votes for you when they pay up a sub.

'A SMALL TOWN IDOL' At the Vendome Theatre, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, April 21, 22, 23. Ben Turpin with Marie Prevost, Charlie Murray and Phyllis Haver, Melodrama till you gasp and grip your chair arms. Spectacle till your vision is overwhelmed. Comedy till your sides ache and the tears roll down your cheeks. All the Mack Sennett "dolls" will be there—and then some. In one scene alone 500 beautiful girls participate, headed by Marie Prevost, who, with another Sennett beauty, Phyllis Haver, share the honors of the production. And Ben Turpin will be there also. His will be the title role—a small town idol. Poor Ben Turpin. All the woes that have ever been allotted to him in a Sennett plot will seem like items in a perfect day compared with the calamity that follows him as a hero of "The Small Town Idol." Also Harold Lloyd in "Get Out and Get Under," a comedy that will put dimples in the cheeks of the world. Music Notes The Emotional Musician The popularity of music as a help to community life is encouraging from many points of view. First of all, it shows that the various types which go to make a community can be reached and brought close together by the pleasure and benefit derived from participation in music. It matters not whether the people listen to the singing of solos, duets, quartettes or choruses, whether one person plays the piano or violin—whether the orchestra or the brass band plays—whether a teacher interacts interested audience together in a short space of time if it is known that good music can be heard. It, after hearing music which has been especially prepared for the occasion the audience itself is permitted to present a part of the program by singing familiar songs, the reeling of good fellowship which immediately prevails, makes possible the doing of a greater amount of good for the community that is generally realized. Music of the right kind—if listened to with interest—stirs the noblest emotions of human beings—but good music in which one participates and becomes a part—not only stirs the emotions—but awakens and quickens the idea that one is helping along this line of that which is beautiful, enjoyable and helpful and puts the participant in such a receptive state of mind that he eagerly halls the music and feels joyful. It is not strange then that those who really understand human nature never call together a number of people to discuss or forward some worthy project unless they at the same time plan to have presented as a part of the program a few numbers of good music. It is a fact, though, that even more good could be accomplished if sometimes the program could be so arranged that the audience itself could participate in the music. Care should be taken of course not to make this part of the program a burden to the audience either in the number, length or difficulty of the songs—and the words should be provided for them whether to be thrown on a screen or in a printed sheet or pamphlet form. The idea, if considered carefully, can be put in practice and will, without doubt, prove of great value in community life. "OUTSIDE THE LAW" At the States Theatre, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, April 20, 21, 22, 23. Featureting Priscilla Dean, the dazzling heroine of "The Virgin of Stambouli," in "Outside the Law," supported by Lon Chaney, famous for his roles in "The Miracle Man" and "The Penalty." The picture with a shiver in it. The story of Molly Madden, darling of the underworld, who arrays herself against Black Mike, the most feared and relentless figure of crookdom; how she avenges her father, and show she is changed from a cold, calculating criminal into the most wonderful thing in the world. A melodrama swift as lightning—with a punch in every scene and a cast headed by the most electrifying actress M. B.

This Sunday, April 24th, the baseball fans of Chicago will be given the long expected chance to witness the play of the American Giants, now commonly considered the last word in baseball machines among folks of color. Since the populace of Chi watched the great machine in action they have twice girdled the Southland, swung around the East, and trotted under the wire to a championship over the Royal Giants of New York in a winter's play down in Florida. The team has not been in action for nearly two weeks, having run into bad weather, but the lay off has given ample time to dispense with the crippled list that had reached large figures, so that Sunday every man on the roster of the club can be seen in action. New Faces Foster has annexed a quartette of new faces since his last show here, and all of them will be in the points in the Sunday display of wares. Starks, a classy left hander, formerly of the crack Hildaels of Philly, is slated to twirl this game, while the catching assignment goes to Poindexter, said to be a sparkler behind the bat. He comes from the Black Barons of Birmingham, Ala., and is said to have made things mighty rough for the Chicagoans. The fact that "Rube" snatched him speaks for itself. Torrentte, the Cuban player who wields such a mighty bludgeon, got in from Havana this week and is in the pink of condition, ready to slam the old apple as old. Jimmy Lyons, a lad who started on his baseball career right on the lots of Chicago, is a new face in the line, but his great fielding, hitting and running ability is very well known to the fans. He has desired for some seasons to show as a home player, and now that he is one of us, if he functions well to the task of blished ability, fandom this season is in for many rounds of sensational work. Gardener and Reese, both of whom are yet a little new to the fans, have few if any superiors among the dark contingent as outfielders. Gardener has shown himself to be the best lead off man that Foster has ever bossed, and he is just about the headliner on getting that ball in to the plate from deep outfield with a runner headed home. Reese is in a class all to himself as a pinch hitter, and can do the base path with eel-like precision. Will Play Aurora The American Giants will be opposed Sunday by Aurora, one of the crack clubs of the new Chicago League. They have a lineup of near big league caliber and are strengthened to a great degree for this particular game, as a win over the Fosterites means great prestige. An early spring win over the dark champs has carried many of the whites to a monstrous season of prosperity with always another big game or so as an ace in the hole against the darks later, and the best part of the season. With the new colored battery in the heavy roll Sunday, the taratacies are in for big things, for the wise Aurora bunch know all about the timidness that engulfs the being of new ones trying out with Foster, and the whites are coming loaded down and prepared to pull everything as a goat getter to Ruben's new battery men.

The Bacharach Giants New York's great representative baseball team, the Bacharach Giants, are still rambling through the Southland, where they are, cleaning up all comers. Redding has his men right up on their toes, and expects by the time that they hit this section, which is in early May, to jump out and take the American Giants and other teams out this way to a fall. The Bacharachs open up their first Negro National League game at Detroit, Mich., May 7. The Droitero has kicked the Easterners a goal last season, and Redding's men are out for revenge.

All the maneuver in the league have unlimited resources for the prowess of Jim Taylor as a collector and developer of raw recruits into the finished baseball article. When the Negro National league activities began to buzz along about this time last year, Jim was heading the Dayton Club, and could not name his line-up, still within a span of few weeks, he showed up at Chicago against the champion American Giants, and kicked them a goal in the first league game of the season, Taylor didn't have four men on his team that were known over the circuit, but before the league race came to an end, Jim's charges was the talk of the circuit. If the Columbus team makes the showing in this season's race that they are expected to, and the Cleveland team also function in grand style, the season's results should plant a flowing feather in Jim Taylor's hat, for to him goes the credit for the laying of the ground work for both clubs. Taylor has snatched a few budding blossoms from the balmy Southland and other parts, and confidently believes that when the warm breezes hit these parts, his efforts will bring forth fruit of a variety to appease the baseball appetite of the Cleveland fandom. Kansas City Allies KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 19—The Kansas City Allies are all set and prepared for a strenuous campaign this coming season. They hope to beat their record of last year when they won 36 out of 41 games played. Already this season they have tabbed wins over several big clubs, the biggest achievement being a defeat of Argentine by the score of 2-0 opposed by an all Western League line-up. This spring they defeated Spring Valley by a score of 4-1, and the city leaguers at Shelly Park by score of 3-1. This Sunday, April 24, they travel to Richmond, Mo. and will have the strong Lexington Tigers as opponents. TENNY BLOUNT IN TOWN Tenny Blount, President of the Detroit Stars baseball club was here this week and reports has it that the Detroit Magnate is gunning for a classy outfielder.

BASEBALL NOW SPANS ENTIRE HEMISPHERE BASEBALL NOW SPANS ENTIRE HEMISPHERE With Negro National League Clubs Playing Throughout All Parts of the Country, Their Prestige Should Be Well Established. More than half the games on the exhibition schedule of the Negro National League have been played, and it has given the baseball fans, extending from coast to coast, and from Cuba to the interior of Canada, a grand opportunity to lamp the work of the various teams that make up the perennial team of the league. So that when May the first releases the barrier for the 1921 race over the six months' course, the baseball devotees throughout all parts of this broad land, will have enough of the tawny diamond athlete to judge for themselves as to the inherent strength of the National Association of Colored professional baseball clubs, as a representative of the loftiest ideals in the great national game of this continent. Prestige Unlimited. The great prestige that surrounds this magnificent organization, both from an individual and collective standpoint, extends to all parts of the globe. Manager Redding of the Baccharach Giants, played the game in Europe with Uncle Sam's forces, as did many of the players on other clubs, Rogan, Fagin, Moore and others of the K. C. Monarchs attracted attention on the Philippine Islands, and these same players right now are just out of a winter's league race on the Pacific coast, where they annexed a championship for their team, a practical all Negro National League line-up. The Bacharach Giants, also players from many other clubs, together with Cuban players of the Colored league, held up the organization banner on the island of Cuba the past winter, while the champion American Giants successfully held the fort around Florida. The St. Louis Giants are just out of a worthy campaign throughout all parts of the southland, while the Detroit Stars are fighting it out up in the Canadian league. So when May the first flings wide the gates to the start of the official race, well-wishers, boosters, et al, of the great game, in all parts will have seen the athletes, witnessed an exhibition of their activities and know of what the National Association of Colored Professional Baseball Clubs stand for. the addition of another outfielder, his charges will be in line to make the going awful rocky for the other Negro National League clubs. Blount says that he has landed a star in the new third sacker, Hill, a coast player. His pitchers look the class of the league and if he lands another stepper in the outfield to go with P. Hill and the others now on the scene, the pennant flag should wave in the Wolverine city about this time next season. BRASS BEDS CLEANED Have that BRASS BED done at HOME.

EXHIBITION GAMES AND CLUBS It will be noticed that there are no provisions in the official schedule of the Negro National League for May and June that allows the Hildale Club of Darby, Philadelphia, Pa., to mingle with the other clubs of the National Association, of which that club is a member. This opening in the schedule comes through the fact that certain of the big Colored clubs in the East refused to affiliate with and become a part of the universal organization of Colored professional clubs. The Hildale club has one of the most spacious and best drawing parks in the Eastern section, located at Darby, Pa., and they operate a park for Wednesday games at Camden, N. J. There are two clubs in the East who are members of the Negro National League—the Bacharach Giants of New York and the Hildales. The New York club will come West early in May and will mingle freely with the Western clubs, taking a part in the schedule. The Hildales will play in around Philadelphia until the return of the New York club from the West about the middle of June, when the two clubs will contest with each other followed by an intersectional series East against West. Other clubs affiliated with the National Association such as Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Dayton and others, will stage exhibition contests, and* many of the real big clubs of the organization will be seen at the aforementioned cities in the early rounds of the race, as well as all throughout the present season.

The Swat King 1 CHRISTOPHER TORRENTTE Torrentte, the American Giant's great clean up hitter got in early this week and will be seen in the Sunday game. The great swatsman has been playing ball down around Cuba all winter, and is said to be in that form that made him a rival to "Babe" Ruth on heavy and consistent slamming of the ball. Eschbacher's Gleanings ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 23.—The Giants of St. Louis carried the enemy off their feet in the two games played in the South during the past week and won from Knoxville by a 11 to 4 score and Atlanta felt the sting of the "Chocolate Drops" when the revamped Giant machine bowled them over by a 2 to 1 score. Carr who was somewhat of an in-and-out last season is showing to great advantage this year and he held the slugging Atlanta outfit safe throughout the game. The Atlanta victory has satisfied Charley Mills that his team possesses a punch of real championship calibre as the Atlanta team dedicated Rube Foster's Chicago Americans recently and therefore this game was a real test for the Giants and they came through with flying colors. The Giants will break training camp early this week and arrive home in the middle of the week and will go through the final polishing up process at their home grounds which have been put into first-class shape during their day in Dixie. On next Sunday Charley Mills will send the "Chocolate Drops" against Phil Kavanaughs strong All-Star outfit in the opening game of the season. CHICAGO GIANTS Joe Green's Negro National league team will journey up to Kenosha, Wis., where they are carded to show Saturday and Sunday. Green has gathered a lively bunch of pastimers and is prepared to give all comers a tough run for the honors this season. In big Taylor, Green has one of the very best heavens in the whole country, and lefty Luther is in rare form for right now for the campaign right at hand. The Chicago Giants open the league season at Columbus, O., against John Loyd's Buckeyes of Columbus, and if the practice stunts of the Chicago gang count for anything, then Loyd will be up against rough sledging in trying to pull a win upon his first appearance before the Columbus fans. Green has a steady and smooth working infield, also one of the most efficient backstops Go To Finley's Herb Store For Roots and Herbs, 2802 Cottage Grove Avenue. COMBINATION PRINTING BARGAINS.

There is no getting away from the fact that the young and progressive element of our people are organizing and promoting big things in keeping with the times. When one realizes the great amount of money involved in this project (approximately $10,000) you can readily see that intelligent and conscientious work must go hand in hand. Along with our daily vocation must also come the time for recreation, and, what is more fitting than a short trip to Louisville, when the Blue Grass state will open her arms to receive visitors from all parts of the country on May 7th, Derby Day. Not only will this be a pleasure trip for numerous of our business men have made reservations and will combine business with pleasure. Thousands of people who congregate in Louisville that day will also journey to Chicago later on in the summer. In other words this will be a boost Chicago trip as well. The sale of tickets increasing with leaps and bounds, so if you can contemplate making the trip you should make your reservation at once.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE, IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTIOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. They Dance While Rome Burns They Dance While Rome Burns Everyone wishes to be cheerful and messages of cheer are eagerly sought by all. It is our policy to carry tidings of a pleasant nature whenever we can find sufficient facts to base our roseate encomiums upon. Where, however, we find the facts otherwise it is our "bounden duty" to take the bit in the teeth and go through with the unpleasant task. Some subjects are approached with an impatient frame of mind. When a condition is disgusting and a situation obviously ridiculous patience flies away and fears of being lost forbid hesitation. No community can countenance a continued and protracted burning of the best hours of daylight in the vicious squander lust of butterfly dancing. Yet we have the "breakfast dance" with us (from nine a.m. until one p. m.) and it appears to be thriving to capacity houses. Entertainment and relief from the tragic monotony of life is an indispensable necessity. Suppressed human energy must have an outlet. Still, however, common sense and good judgment cannot be discounted. Things must have certain fitness. The consciousness of a community which permits, tolerates and encourages a wanton devotion of the early hours of morning to the fancies of dance must be calloused and insinibly morbid. When the silhouette of dancing is placed against the dark background of existing economic conditions it appears ludicrous, silly and sinister. Thousands of black men in our midst are out of work, soup lines appear before our churches and community houses, industry in general is running at half pressure, wages are being cut all out of proportion with prevailing prices, crop lien and peonage farms beckon to our unsettled masses as we toddle and squirm to the hilarious and mocking jazz-tunes of the "breakfast dance." A comparatively small number of Chinese here recently subscribed $11,000 to aid their starving countrymen. The Hebrews have a fixed policy of never permitting their own to suffer. Now when we should direct our time, both young and old, in council, we center our untrammelled morning energy in breakfast dancing. Indefensible, incomprehensible and appalling. Repeated cautions were given during the period of freak wages to the effect that such prosperity could not last and that the normal thing to do in those abnormal times was to save and to eschew squander. At the present time conditions are acute and puzzling and the public will not be surprised if we will feel the pinch of hard times even more painfully. This a caution. Our welfare is interlocked and interwoven. What affects one affects all and the idea of individual security is silly twaddle and saddest sophistry. If the squander of time continues in idle folly, take the brass key and do it right. Let the fiddles be brought forth and the dancing girls with the seven veils of seven colors. Place Nero and his disciples against the carved pilasters, start up the breakfast dances and let us fiddle while Rome burns. Note—We will gladly give space to the best letters from those interested who can conceive of a defense to this revelry. Ferris of the Negro World Gets Mad Ferris of the Negro World Gets Mad No institution is immune from criticism. In fact it is a virtue which should inspire the criticized to high endeavor and great achievement. Everyone, including the Incarnate Christ, has been the objects of someone's displeasure and criticism. The Chicago Whip has incurred the displeasure of Mr. Wm. H. Ferris, Editor of the Negro World. He objects to our story of April ninth relative to the wreck of the Black Star liner "Kanawa" and his editorial in the Negro World of the April Sixteenth issue reeks with vindictiveness and wrath. At this time when the perils of unemployment and kindred embarrassment seek to destroy the morale of the black man and his organizations, while peonage, slavery, the Ku Klux, as well as lynchings and burnings are in evidence, we feel that is an inopportune time to quibble among ourselves. The press of the black man should be engaged in a work more constructive in its nature. The publishers of the Chicago Whip, Mr. Ferris, notwithstanding, find themselves hardly able to supply the public with the growing demand for their publication. Inasmuch as paper is produced at a cost of eight cents and is sold for five, circulation is a liability which can be supported only by the asset of advertisement. Therefore Mr. Ferris' charge against us of publishing false stories for the purpose of notoriety is grossly unfounded. This paper is an independent weekly published in the interest of the black man everywhere. It has no pets or favorites. No story is published for the purpose of gaining added circulation. The Chicago Whip declines to carry upon its front sheet the current news of the local division of the U. N. I. A. for the reason that The Whip wishes to be impartial in the handling of news in general. It endeavors to supply the reading public with news proper. If Mr. Ferris will further investigate he will learn that the Kanawa was wrecked and the damage was estimated at two thousand dollars. The organization which employees him will do well to love its friends and fight its enemies, both of whom are manifold. We are of the opinion that at this critical financial period he will do well to face the problems of reconstruction as a diplomatic editor should. The U. N. I. A. can afford no enemies now. The Chicago Whip will continue to print the "truth" even though Mr. Ferris objects, and if this savors of yellow journalism we plead guilty to the charge and feel proud of it. We feel a profound interest in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and have agreed with the great plan of awakening up the black people of the world and we do not think it profitable to engage in disputes at this time. Smile, Mr. Ferris. RIAL Legal Hints To Women Legal Hints To Women Dear Madame: I purchased a house two months ago and notified the tenants to move by May 1st. They have informed me that they are willing to pay me more rent than I have asked others for, but I do not want them to remain as my tenants. If they don't move, how can I get them out; must I go to court? E. McG. It depends on the terms of your lease. Yes, See a lawyer. Dear Madame: My husband died a year ago. Before he died he had been keeping some jewelry for another man and I, in putting it away, misplaced it. He asked for it back and my husband gave him a note promising to pay him $50 if the jewelry was not found in six months and paid him $50 then. I signed the note too. Can the man hold me for it now that my husband is dead? L, C. Yes. Dear Miss Anderson: I started a suit for divorce against my husband eight months ago; he got the notice and came to see me and offered to come back and do the right thing. He lived in Detroit and went back saying he was going to settle up his business there and then come here to live with me. I have never heard from him since and he will not answer my letters aloft. I know he is still there. Can I go head with my divorce now? That depends on whether or not you lived together as husband and wife when he came here; if you did, you would have to start another suit on most charges. I would have to know he charge in your bill before I could answer you fully. Dear Madame: I married when I was seventeen and my husband was 19; we both made affidavits that we were of age; now he is trying to get our marriage annuled. Is it legal? If you lived together after the ceremony it is. Legal questions cheerfully answered. Address all communications care of the Whip, 3420 State St. Y. W. C. A.

Where a party is divorced in Illinois and then after a year marries again in Indiana and later comes back to Illinois to live, is the marriage good in this state? A. H. Ques. is it a violation of the law to name your business the same as that of the state in which you live? Say for instance I should say "The Illinois Ice & Coal Co." Ans. No. There is no promotion on the use of the word Illinois, or the name of any state in connection with the name of your business. I should advise, however, that you first assemble whether any corporate charter has been issued to any company under the name you wish to use or whether the same has been copyrighted in any way, for in such events the particular name of any already incorporated company would not be available for use. Ques. How long must a person be divorced in Illinois before he can legally marry in Indiana? Is residence in that state any certain length of time necessary? If I marry in Indiana within a year after being divorced in Illinois can I legally live with my wife in Illinois? What would be necessary to make the marriage legal in Illinois? Ans. Persons divorced in this state are prohibited from re-marrying within one year from such divorce. Though it is possible to marry in Indiana within a year and though such marriage is valid in Indiana, it is not a valid marriage as to this state and you cannot live together in this state without being liable for adultery. No length of residence is necessary for a marriage in Indiana. Your best course, however, is to comply with the law and await the period of one year from the time of your divorce before you marry again. Then you can marry either in Illinois or Indiana and your marriage will be valid everywhere. Ques. Can I get a divorce from my husband for non-support? He left me two months ago. Could I go to the place where he works and get a part of his money? Ans. You cannot get a divorce for non-support, until two years have elapsed. Then if he has totally deserted you during all that time you will be entitled to a divorce. If you wish to have him contribute to your support you should employ an attorney in the case and have him handle the matter for you or go down to the court of domestic relations in City Hall and ask their aid.

Medical authorities proclaim that weak kidneys are more prevalent in the Negro race than in the white. This statement may save considerable grounds when we review our death rates and find that more Negroes die yearly of kidney disease than there are whites. If this is true, we as a race should acquaint ourselves with the early signs and causes of kidney diseases, for utter all the cure of the disease. PETER B. this disease lies in the early recognition and prevention of the same. Various terms have been used to describe the derangement of the kidneys. Such expressions as "Brights Disease", "Dropsy", "Nephritis" and "Inflammation of the Kidneys" are terms used to apply to such disorders. If the disease is just beginning we speak of it being acute, if of long standing we speak of it being chronic. Everyone should know something in regard to the early signs of kidney weakness, also know what causes the same and also how to prevent kidney disease. Very few kidney disturbances cause pain in the back. A few of the signs of kidney diseases are as follows: Swelling of the ankles, puffiness of face, especially cyelids, complexion pasty and sallow, headaches, disorder of digestion marked, called by some people dispesia, shortness of the breath, nose bleeds are fairly common and a progressive decline in health. But before any of the above symptoms develop the disease may show up in your urine. In some stages the urine is scanty, highly colored and contains blood, albumin and casts. In the other stages there may be increased urine with the patient getting up three or four times at night to urinate and also great thirst. The Cause and Prevention of Kidney Diseases. (1) Direct causes are as follows: Errors in diet. The eating of too much protein foods such as meats, etc., is harmful, also the eating of too much starchy foods and the excessive use of salts produce toxins which irritate the kidneys. Prolong exposure to cold and wet, excessive overwork, or muscular activity, worry and sudden changes in climatic conditions. (2) Indirect causes are nervous ill, chronic infections, burns, syphilis and pregnancy. (3) Other causes of kidney disorders are various irritating chemicals such as carbolic acid–gin and “moonshine”. The teaching that gin is good for the kidneys is bad teaching and should be discouraged. Remember that the cure for kidney diseases lies in the early recognition of the same. In conclusion we should be classed as a race of weak kidneys? Do we do more to irritate the kidneys than the white race? Do we neglect treatment in the early stages of this disease when it can be cured? Y. M. C. A.

THE OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. L. K. Wilhams, D. D., Minister The Olivet Baptist church has launched a big campaign for soul savi- ging. Dr. Williams began the series of evangelical sermons last Sunday with two burning messages. In the morning he spoke from the subject "The Great Salvation." In part he said that salvation means to be saved from the love of sin, from its natural consequences and from its penalty Salvation is the desire of all men hence they labor to satisfy the human appetites. But the salvation that sat- sists human wants is not the great salvation the bishop cannot be plished by human efforts. For thou- sands of years man tried to accomplish this great salvation, but it is a long way from Eden to Calvary God alone can perfect this great salvation. This salvation is great because it emanates from the very heart of God. In the evening the pastor delivered another heart searching message on "Loving the World." When he had told the effects of an undue amount of affection for the things of this world, men, and women, boys and girls marched up to the altar to give their hearts and lives to God. A large audience witnessed the play presented Monday night by the young ladies of the church. The church is opening a library station of the city library, which will be open to the public from 2 until 4, and from 7 until 9 o'clock p. m. Able divines in and out of the city will assist the pastors in the great campaign. Special service all this week and Sunday. All are welcome. The motto is "All Chicago for Christ." ST. MARK M. E.

Hughes was the speaker at the morning service and gave us a great sermon from the subject "Christ, the Bread of Life." At 3 p. m. the pastor, Rev John W. Robinson, and his choir was at St Mary A. M. E. church.

Next Sunday Rev C. S Moore will preach at the morning service from the subject, "The Religions Situation of the World." While the Rev, J. H. Marshall will preach FREDERICK, Md., April 13.—Following his acquittal of the charges of criminally assaulting a white woman in the circuit court here, friends of the woman made a concerted effort to lynch Charles Dorsey of Baltimore. Lawyers, judges and court attaches rushed to the aid of the man, and his life was saved. Dorsey established the fact that he was in Baltimore at the time of the crime. In handing down the decision Judge Urner said; "There is no denying that Miss Delisie Tweedale was brutally assaulted The state of Maryland does not provide sufficient punishment for her assault, even in death on the gallows. There is really one question that confronts this court: Is the prisoner at the bar the guilty person? "This court is sorry for Miss Tweedale. But this court is not at liberty to be carried away with sympathy. It is our duty to determine if the prisoner is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The circuit court of Baltimore county could not rid its mind of the question of reasonable doubt, as is evidenced by the trial of the Negro here after he had been found guilty in a previous trial at Towson, and was granted a new trial by Judge Duncan. "We also must be certain beyond the shadow of any reasonable doubt that the Negro Dorsey is guilty. We must not make the mistake of sending an innocent man to the gallows. We have gone over every bit of the evidence carefully and we cannot rid our minds of that doubt that the Negro is guilty. We therefore find him not guilty." URCHES at the evening services. All who attend these services will receive a distinct treat. QUINN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Rev. Dr. John A.

CROWDS JAM TO HEAR EASON So great were the crowds battling for admission to hear His Excellency J. W. E. Eason, leader for North American Negroes, that guards had to be posted to avoid a crush at all meetings where he spoke. Dr. Eason delivered speeches at Quinn Chapel, Morning Star Baptist church and the Institutional church under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the African Communities League. Dr. Eason is of the virile, energetic type, a typical leader for the "New Negro."
