ANOTHER BOMBER ESCAPES WITH EASE --- PRICE 5 CENTS Photos of the candidates will appear in each issue until the car is won. HURRY! PRICE 5 C ANO' COUNCIL AIMS RESOLUTION AT BOMBERS $25,000 Appropriated To Discover Marauders. In response to indignant demands by Second Ward citizens for action against bombing outrages, the City Council last week passed a resolution introduced by Aldermen Jackson and Anderson which will be watched closely for its effect upon the situation. The resolution is as follows: Whereas, During the past year there have been committed a number of crimes which have taken the form of bombing residences and business places throughout the City of Chicago, and, Whereas, The throwing of bombs have in many cases endangered the lives of occupants of the homes and business places affected, and in two instances caused the loss of lives of persons residing in the places bombed, and, Whereas, The efforts made to ferret out and apprehend the perpetrators of these crimes have necessarily been limited because of the fact that the Police Department is hampered by reason of lack of funds to make the proper investigation and to procure the necessary evidence in order to ascertain who the real culpits are, or who are responsible for the unlawful acts in question, and, Whereas, This heinous crime is to an alarming degree causing great apprehension for the lives and property of the citizens of Chicago thus rendering, especially in certain localities, the peaceful occupation of homes and business of the citizens residing therein hazardous and unsafe, and, Whereas, the apparent ease with which the culprits have been able to execute their criminal acts of bombing without detection or apprehension has caused them to feel a certain sense of security in the commission of these crimes. Therefore Be It Resolved, That the City Council Committee on Finance be and it is hereby directed to set up as a separate appropriation the sum of $25,000 to be expended by the General Superintendent of the Police in a thorough investigation of the crime of bombing throughout the City of Chicago. Be It Further Resolved, That the General Superintendent of Police be and he is directed to use said appropriation in such manner as he may see fit to the end that the perpetrators of these crimes he located and apprehended and that the evidence thus obtained be delivered to the States Attorney for prosecution of the guilty individuals, organizations, or societies directly or indirectly found to be responsible for the cowardly crime of bombing. PERRY HOWARD GETS APPOINTMENT PERRY HOWARD GETS APPOINTMENT Washington, May 21 — Perry W. Howard, of Mississippi, who figured conspicuously in the "speakers" bureau" scandal in Chicago during the recent national campaign, has been appointed special attorney in the claims division of the Department of Justice. Howard will have charge of fraudulent claims against the government in matters connected with members of our Race. The salary is $5,000 a year. Of late Howard has been prominent among a group of politicians seeking to raise funds to secure the passage of "remedial legislation." Lowest Pastor's Salary Is $325 Secretary Hingely of the M. E. Church, in figures submitted, says that the Little Rock Conference pays our ministers only $325 per year, while the Pittsburg conference comes highest, with $1,736. The average is $1,154 per year. "A PAPER WITH A POLICY" The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY "LEADERS" AWAITING THE HANDOUT WASHINGTON SAY LINK, WAKE UP WE HAVE THEM BUNK- LORED - START MORE TALK ABOUT REMEDIAL LEGISLATION THE PIES ARE GETTING SCARCE Only Two More Weeks of Big Votes The big chance to drive home a victory, in The Whip's $3,500 automobile and cash prize race is stirring up a whirlwind of action. Thousands of votes are being cast by the contestants and friends of the candidates. The participants in the race for the $1,700 Dixie Flyer touring car are certainly giving a vigorous account of themselves with the result that the vote scores are climbing up more rapidly than at any other time since the campaign began. It is quite evident that all the contestants realize that extra strenuous effort will still be rewarded very handsomely. The contestants, further appreciate the tremendous importance of getting busy now while the BIG VOTES are in effect as very soon, now, the number of votes given for each subscription will be very materially DECREASED. "To Win" Is Object. To win a luxurious $1,700 Dixie Flyer touring car is the one object firmly fixed in the minds of the candidates. It will not be long now until some "live wire" candidate will be riding around the streets in his brand new Dixie Flyer—a gift from The Whip as a reward for his ability to hustle. Many other big prizes will be forthcoming at the close of the race. Altogether, a list of $3,500 in prizes will be distributed absolutely free among the candidates who hustle the most—and the next few days will practically decide who the big winners will be. Great Interest Being Shown. The public mind is largely centered on the outcome of the race. Nearly (Continued on Page 3) ALBERTA HUNTER TO SING FOR RECORDS ALBERTA HUNTER TO SING FOR RECORDS New York City, May 21—Alberta Hunter, of Chicago, entered the offices of the Pace Phonograph Co., on W. 138th street, early this week, and left with an exclusive contract to sing for "Black Swan" records. Miss Hunter is well known in entertainment circles in Chicago, and no doubt her records will rival those of Mamie Smith for popularity. Release of the first records is expected about July 1. MOB THREATENS SPEED FIEND WHO INJURES GIRL George Constantine (white), 4231 Wentworth avenue, narrowly escaped violence at the hands of a crowd of angry men after he had run down and barely escaped killing Willie Lee Donaldson, aged 6, 3844 Langley avenue, Monday. It was claimed by witnesses that Constantine was speeding through the streets heedless of pedestrians when the accident occurred. A crowd of men rushed to the corner of 39th street and Langley avenue, the scene of the affair, and held Constantine, who was attempting to escape, until the police came. The girl suffered lacerations about the arms and bruises on the head. It is said that she will recover. FIVE WHITES INJURED IN QUEER BATTLE Fitzgerald, Ga., May 21—Five whites are injured, one of them perhaps fatally, and one lost an eye in a shotgun battle Friday evening over the alleged theft of a pair of shoes from a farmhand (colored) by drunken whites. According to report from the Ben Hill sheriff's office, Cager Liles, Tony Dutnoth and Jim Smith went to the W. A. Mobley farm, on Broxton road, to punish the farmhand for accusing them of stealing his shoes. He fled at their approach, and when they pursued he pulled a gun and fired, the shot going wild. The three white men went to their homes, got shotguns and returned to the Mobley farm. They found J. L. and W. A. Mobley, Jr., armed and waiting for them. In the exchange of shots that followed W. A. Mobley was seriously wounded and Dutnoth was shot in the eye so seriously that surgeons at the Fitzgerald Hospital were forced to remove the eye. J. L. Mobley swore out warrants, charging assault with intent to murder to Liles, Dutnott and Smith.

St. Louis, Mo., May 21.—The entire city of St. Louis is aroused over the cold-blooded murder of Erris Pillow 4056 Fairfax Ave., presumably because he refused to accept a bribe not to tell what he knew concerning the $60,000 robbery of the North St. Louis Savings Trust Co. Pillow was slain by unknown white men, in front of his home, 4056 Fairfax avenue, last Monday night at 9:45 He was just about to enter his home on the boarding house, which close late on Monday. Three shots were fired and those first to arrive found him lying on the sidewalk, half conscious. He was rushed to Hospital No. 2, in an ambulance, where he died a half hour later. Had Been Kidnapped The robbery in which Pillow was said to have been a witness, occurred at Jefferson avenue and Wash street. As Pillow waited on the curb for a car an automobile rushed up before him and he was assaulted by its four occupants. They threw a coat over the messenger and dragged him into the motor car. The camperman viaduct he was thrown out when the bandits' automobile collided with another. They escaped with a satchel containing $66,576.72 by commandeering a passing motor truck. Refused To Be Bribed The story of how efforts were made to bribe Pillow, so he would not testify against James Hogan, was brought out in the inquest by several witnesses. Mrs. Harriet Pillow, widow of the assassin's victim, said a man named Johnson, claiming to be an employee of the City Hall, called upon the messenger four weeks ago and told him that if he would not testify against the murder suspect, he would be 'renumbered'." Hogan's brother, "a rich politician. The ex-convict is a brother of Edward ("Jelly Roll") Hogan, formerly a member of the Missouri House of Representatives and a State beer and beverage inspector. DOUGLAS NATIONAL BANK TO OPEN SOON For the first time in the history of America, a charter has been issued by the national government for a national bank to be officered and controlled by black men. The securing of this permit from the government by well-informed people is considered a praiseworthy feat. According to P. W. Chavers, the president, mountainous obstacles had to be removed to make this institution a possibility. Endorsed by Prominent Men The officers of the Douglas National Bank are men of very high standing. They are approved business men whose reputation and success will at once command the public confidence. The officers at present are P. W. Cha (Continued on Page 5) --- Told Him To Wash It With Salt and Water "Wash it with warm salt water" is the only consolation William Thomas, 3701 Vincennes avenue, says he got from the "painless dentists," who masquerade under the name of "Dr Henry, successor to Wood Bros," 3458 State street. When these words of condolence came to him, Thomas was in bed suffering the throes of agony caused by a broken right jaw at the hands of the famous "oral artists" on or about April 4. He was suffering such intense pain as to be unable to go to the gilded parlors, the flashing electric signs about which had lured him to his doom. His wife telephoned and asked to have a doctor visit him. His pleas for aid went unheard. The heartless wreckers were too busy with other victims. For six weeks Thomas spent sleepless nights and agonizing days in vain efforts to gain relief. At the height of a period of financial stringency that was gripping the entire nation he was compelled to leave his work and nurse a swollen jaw. Finally, after spending over $300 with various doctors, he secured the services of a specialist, and is now on the road to recovery. Dentists Disclaim Knowledge In an interview the "painless dentists" disclaimed any knowledge of Thomas or his mistreatment, although their victim had foresight enough to retain receipts obtained from them in payment for their fruitless but painful work. Thomas intends to bring suit. N. U. STUDENT FALLS DOWN STAIRS; DIES Dr. Thomas Abrahams, brother of Dr. Isaac Abrahams, 3501 Wabash avenue, died last week as the result of injuries sustained in a fall down steps at 3524 Michigan avenue, April 21. Dr. Abrahams was a member of the Junior class in Dentistry at Northwestern University, and appropriate tribute was paid him by his classmates at the funeral services Thursday. He was born in British Guiana, S. A., and was a graduate of the Northern Illinois College of Ophthalmology, class 1917. The remains were placed in a vault at Graceland Cemetery awaiting final shipment to South America, where they will be interred. "IMPERTINENT" EMPLOYEE SHOT BY WHITE OFFICER Washington, May 21. — Richard Christmas, a hostler at the War Department stables here, was shot and seriously wounded by Lieut.-Col James E. Shelley, of the Quartermaster Corps following an argument over treatment of the horses at the stable. The police say that Col. Shelley remarked that Christmas was "too impudent to be so black." He has been placed under arrest. APES BULL BOMBERS DEFY CO Apparently as a defi to halt bombing, another bomb waging in the entrance of 37 E. 48 block were shattered.

Clinton Dies At His Home 1 Bishop George W. Clinton Charlotte, N. C., May 21.—Bishop George Wylie Clinton, senior bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, died here of arterial sclerosis and a complication of diseases Thursday. He is survived by his wife. Bishop Clinton entered on his clerical career in the A. M. E. Zion church in 1879. For 25 years he was the leading bishop of that organization, elected in 1890. He was born of slave parents in Cree Creek Township, Lancaster Co., South Carolina, March 28. 1859; studied Theology at Livingstone College; entered the ministry at twenty; founded the A. M. E. Zion Quarterly Review, and edited it for two years, elected editor of the Star of Zion, May 1892, elected Bishop 1896, and has been lecturer at Tuskegee Institute since 1894.

GEORGIANS WANT DORSEY IMPEACHED Say He Has "Besmirched Georgia's Fair Name" Atlanta, Ga., May 21.—Since his scathing denunciation of conditions in Georgia, Governor Dorsey has been made the target of attacks from all over the state. Some of those who deny the truth of his charges go so far to say that unless he can prove them, the governor should be impeached, as he has "besmirched Georgia's fair name." Attacked By President Of Senate Especially bitter was the denunciation by Sam T. Olive, president of the Senate, who is second in authority to Governor Dorsey. Olive has issued a statement in which he denounced the governor for making the charges, declared directly that some of them are untrue, and refers to others as "dirty insinuations." The entire report of the governor was called a "melange of epistolary fabrication." Mr. Olive demanded that the charges be proved and that definite allegations, with names and places, be given. Mr. Olive ridiculed the various remedies proposed by Governor Dorsey and stated "this incomprehensible act of the governor will cost the farmers hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars. The negro is emotional and there is no conception of what notions he might honestly get from such visionary statements as those made by the governor. The race problem lives largely in the newspapers." Threaten Impeachment Direct threats of impeachment come from an organization in Macon known as the "Guardians of Liberty," who are aroused to fever heat by the governor's much discussed pamphlet. Demanding that Governor Hugh M. Dorssey substantiate the charges made in his pamphlet recently issued and sent to different parts of the country and asking that he issue another pamphlet designating the county and giving the names of the persons who committed the "135 crimes against farmhands," which the Governor only identified, "Number So-and-So," the Macon Guardians of Liberty have adopted and published a resolution in which Governor Dorsey is informed that if he does not prove what he says to be true or retract his statements, impeachment proceedings will be started against him. Los Angeles Policeman Proves Here Los Angeles, Cal., May 21.—Policeman Phillip Bomar smashed the door of a burning dwelling in the Boyle Heights section last Friday and rescued nine occupants. PRICE FIVE CENTS UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. If Mr. Thomas Edison would apply his intelligence test to "Asst. General Perry Howard and Henry Lincoln Johnson, a good gambler would lay odds that these two good Uncle Toms would not make one per cent. In the ability to fool their poor trusting people however, they would make a high average. Mr. Howard stated sometime ago that he was not in search of a political job but was fighting for the interests of his people. The Whip, alone, of all the newspapers published in the interest of black people, scuffed. Now this political hypocrite has succeeded in getting a five thousand dollar a year job. He is appointed Asst. Atty. General. Every one knows that he is not an able lawyer and that he forsook law to play politics. Yet the Women's Federated Clubs are foolish enough to support such a scape-goat leader. A contemporary editor writes that the black people should "stop singing the blues." He further suggests that they should emit tunes of hope. They have been happy, go-lucky and satisfied too long. They are the whistlers and songbirds of America. They have been contented too long and it is gratifying to us to have them complain and become disgruntled. An old author wrote that "the unseticity of human desire was the cause of all human progress." If the "blues" is a tune of dissatisfaction, no one should harp hope. Hope springs eternally in the human breast, but it is the rancor of dissatisfaction which causes progress. Sing the Jim Crow Blues, the unemployment blues, the discrimination blues, the Uncle Tom blues. Sing 'em loud and long. Thomas Hardwick, Governor-elect of Georgia, claims that the charges of unfair treatment toward the Negro made by Gov. Hugh Dorsey are a slander to the State of Georgia. If anything under the sun is impossible, it is to slander the State of Georgia. No words have been coined which will reflect upon that state. In the beginning the Devil lived there, then the savage Indians, after a while Ogelthorpe brought over a ship of convicts and the poor state has never had a chance to get from under the spell of evil. It permeates and contaminates its entire atmosphere. We would we could find words to slander Georgia. Mr. Hardwick is merely seeking to curry favor with the lynchers, slave drivers, murderers and rapists who live therein. Mayor Thompson candidates for judgeship will do well to avoid the issue of five-cent fares and public utilities and speak of justice before the law, fair and impartial. We all realize that many fair-minded men now sit upon the bench we hope and trust they will administer the law and justice with a firmer hand than their political boss, Mayor Thompson, has dealt with the bombthrowers and insidious, pernicious and unchristian organization which seek to humilate and destroy black citizens. A man bending down to knock on a door. NOSEY ran into the eighth wonder of the world early Monday morning. She was a puzzle to Nosey. Like the coat of Joseph she had as many colors as the rainbow. Her hair was a beautiful peroxide yellow, her skin cannot be exactly described as Nosey does not know what to call it. She seemed to have dived her head into an ash can and then applied red varnish to her cheeks. Her eyebrows were a straight line of indigo blue and her teeth flashed like orange peel. This lady with the peculiar makeup was seen to enter a telephone booth on the cor- OKeh Records Hear Mamie Smith in Person then get your favorite record --We have them all.

Nosey immediately crept snake-like into an adjoining booth. The multicolored vamp called a well known barber and told him she was there wailing and looking like a million dollars. Nosey could stand no more if that dame looked good to the barber; he certainly must be easy to suit. Keep your eyes open and you will see the lady with the ash cake face: She steps lively too. ON the evening when the bomb was hurled at the new cabaret on the corner of Calumet and 35th streets, Nosey was in the loop but hearing the explosion he immediately put himself in first speed and he was there before any one else. As the bomb bounced back and shattered the window panes of the houses along the block Nosey thought that he might as well look thru the open spaces which had once been windows and see what he could see; Nosey saw something too. That popular Doctor who was in the last homestead raid was in one of the houses and he did not have his medicine case with him either. He was heard to remark to Pullman porter's wife: I wonder if he got left and heard me here and put some dynamite under the house. The trembling wife answered Lord only knows. At this point the unseen Nosey yelled out: I see you and you had better not come out the front door either. The doctor immediately dived from the window and landed on his left shoulder. As he carefully picked up his bruised body Nosey himSELF never did this the war any way. cently married young real estate man got from his wife after he had caught her getting out of a Taxi in the wee hours of the morning. Where have you been and who were you with honey? Nosey was hid behind the lamp post but not too far away to hear the young spouse again cry: Sing em? The man who sells the earth again attempted to chastise his wife and said: Dearie don't you known that you should not stay out so late and not let me know whom you were with and where you were? She sweetly answered: Sing em daddy. Nosey saw that business would soon pick up so he stretched his unwashed neck a few inches further and he did so just in time to see the rent profiteer haul off and apply his outstretched hand to his wife's cheek with a re-sounding smack. Wifey began to cry and boo hoo, but hubby only remarked. Now dearie go up stairs and play, em while papa sings, em. Nosey loudly whistled the blues. EARLY last week Nosey found out where the Mormons live in Chicago. They live on Indiana avenue near 38th. Nosey saw the gentleman and his two wives in the morals court and he followed them home. It happened like this. About three months ago Hubby had only one wife, but she decided that she must go south and visit her mother. Hubby got fonesome after a month's time and took unto himself another helpmate. The flat which wife No. 1 once occupied was ruled over by wife No. 2. Were good with wife too, but hubby knew He was just breaking out with lank and that the good thing could not go on forever. Sure enough last Wednesday wife No. 1 got tired of mother and arrived at her old flat. She was greeted by wife No. 2. A two-round bout was staged when hubby came in and called the bout a draw but the policeman on the beat also heard the disturbance The Clubs The Young Women's Guide entertained the single young men of their church Friday the 13th at Pilgrim.

Contest Notes The Public Library is about exhausted by our entrants for our Contest in Oratory to be held at Pilgrim on the Second Sunday afternoon in June. They are working hard and have exhaustive information to hand out to the Chicago Literati, friends and visitors. Mr. William H. Terrell of the Firm of Anderson and Terrell, prominent also in literary circles has consented to serve with the management of this grand affair. We tested the sounding board at Pilgrim: a whisper can be heard, the entire one hundred and twenty feet, pulpit to entrance. Every soul present can see every speaker from any part of the largest auditorium in the city. Several clubs have requested reserved sections for their clubs on date. Be sure to be present and to hear all about YOUR LITERATURE and the achievements of Negro Orators in the march of progress. Miss H. Louise Holland (Olivet's sweetheart) will appear in Soprano solo. Mrs. Anna B. Teney (Reader) will read "Aunt Hanna and the Cantata Ruth", this is a scream, by W. A. E. Prof. Hugh Buchanaan. President of the Unity Concert Company will present musical specialty. The position of the entrants on the program will be awarded by lots Sunday June 5th. and he drew the box. It ended in the morals court. Hubby is now under bond but the wives are still under the same roof. YOU can't fool a bell boy. This is the general rule but one got fooled by the fair lady who also lives on Indiana avenue. The bell boy had been in the habit of giving the fair lady all of his tips and Nosey had watched him each evening searching himself in order to make sure that he was not holding out on his lady fair. The good lady who "passes" would never allow the bell boy to be seen in her presence and only the eagle eye of Nosey had detected her. But one morning in May the bell boy saw her with another fellow and he decided to follow her and at 37th and Indiana, she anchored as her escort threw his arms around her the bell hop drew along side crying: Cease. The lady gently reminded him that the good gentleman was her husband. Nosey then saw the poor bell boy weaken and tell the husband where his tips had gone but the husband only grinned and clinched his fists and began beating the poor dumb bell hop. Meanwhile lady fair went upstairs giggling. THE CHICAGO WHIP In a ew size package CKY RIKE LUCKY STRIKE 10 cigarettes for 10 cts Handy and convenient; try them.

Pack House Broadway Rastus, on its second week's run, is still playing to big houses and will do so as long as they play the house. The construction of the vehicle by Mr. Miller is well moulded into a modern piece of musical comedy work. The opening ensemble, a novel at the start, is where the ponies emerge from a huge watermelon on their first appearance. The catchy music enlivens things and the poppy dialogue cannot be excelled. Emmet Anthony. "Gang," will always be a comedy favorite with Chicago, as he is in a class by himself. Mr. Miller, who has an individual style of his own, really provokes much laughter in his grotesque atmosphere. Ernest Whitman raves in the second part and sweetly sings his way into the hearts of all. And by the way, Anthony is a qualified Tyrol Yodler, as he sweetly warbles the Emmet songs. Anita Wilkins still makes a clear high "C" and brings the house down, receiving many BOWS. Ida Brown, the clever little soubrette, SINGS "Daddy" and charms the male patrons in her appealing rendition of this song. Little Ferdo Robinson, the CUTEST LITTLE MAN in the world, does a parson role to perfection. Well, don't miss a real show, the best of all such attractions. Russeo and Hockwell's Big Minstrels opened at the Avenue on Sunday to a good-sized audience. This premier minstrel show is well mounted with modern effects and the good-looking circle presented a picture that will never be forgotten. Jack Johnson was a perfect interlocutor, Ed Tolliver, Chick Beaman, Thosa Harris, Duke Johnson and Geo. Mullen were the funny end men. Excellent song numbers are rendered by real sweet singers and the elevated orchestra played artistically The Ohio The quartet sang like. Chick Beaman was a hit and Chas, and Duke Johnson registered a hundred per cent, followed by Stirman and Ed Tolliver in Street Chatter that brought hilarious laughter. Coy Herdon rolls the hoops and has them at all times under his artistic power. The after piece "Hezekiah Duke's Mistake," was a laughing scream. Next week Mamie Smith returns in an all new review. "THE BREAKING POINT" At the Vendome Theatre, Sunday, May 22. Adapted from Mary Lerner's popular story, "The Living Child." Six wonderful acts. The mother's love for her child carried even to the point of preferring death rather than possible future dishonor for it, is the pivot upon which the story turns, and the sympathy awakened for the distressed heroine never loses force. Suspense is accented by the physician's discovery of the tassel from Ruth's dress at the presence in the room during Janeway's death and his determination to set down the case as suicide comes as a happy denouement. "KLIMAX KOLORED KOMEDIES" AGO, ILLINOIS Phone Dougl Music Notes By Mildred Bryant--Jones The Emotional Musician At Quinn Chapel, 24th St. and Wabash Ave., on Monday evening, May 30, the Urban Glee Club will present a Musical Extravaganza.

The Do Homeian Trio stopped the show at the Marlouna Theatre last week and received a Pantages route to be trailed soon. Geo.

Anita Wilkins, the prima donna, will sing Tom LeMonier's latest song, "Let's Be Friends," this week at the Grand, in "Broadway Rastus." Joe Simms and Popo Warfield are headed West, after a successful tour of the eastern circuits. Chris Smith and Henry Troy are stopping the shows everywhere in the East in their great big singing act. Andrew Copeland and Doc Straine are having much success with their new act and are constantly booked up. Horace George, the clarinet king, is awaiting a career after a tour with the Mamie Smith Co. Bert Williams, the Race's Premier Comedian, is causing a big sensation in the loop with his Broadway Brevities Show. Irvin C. Miller made a flying trip to Detroit this week in the interest of his Chocolate Brown Co., playing the Vandette Theatre, and proclaimed the biggest hit that ever played Detroit. The show opens at the Grand next week. The Darktown Frolic, at the DeLuxe Garden last Tuesday, was a huge success, and the entertainment was excellent; many new features were offered and the afternoon was pleasantly spaced. Andrew Tribble is the star with "The Chocolate Brown," an Irvin C. Miller production, that opens at the Grand May 23rd. Frank Montgomery and his big Eastern Review, will open at the Grand in six weeks. Montgomery, a real showman, made a wonderful impression here last season and should do a turn-away-business. With his this season are many well-known people, including Rudi Robinson, the great musical comedy star, and a real musician chorus. Florence McLean, the wife of Mr. Montgomery, does the leading soubrette role. Leon Diggs, the celebrated tenor, is again in our midst and looking the picture of health. He had been working with Andrew Tribble until a recent dissolution. "BLIND WIVES" At the States Theatre, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, May 18- 19-20-21. It strikes at the very vitals of woman's vanity. It shows you the length to which some women will go to arouse admiration in the eyes of men. In France a man's self-sacrifice opened a woman's eyes. In New York slums a girl gives her all that her sister may enjoy happiness with the love that was denied her. DE LUXE GARDENS DRAWING CROWDS De Luxe Gardens, which was opened by Frank Preer, under the management of Virgil Williams, has been drawing the crowds from the "Stroll" nightly. The sweet strains of Manie Brady's Jazz Hounds has been making the dance lively and full of "pep." Dave Peyton Pulls "Stunt Tuesday afternoon Dave Peyton, leader of the Grand Theatre, Orchestra and dramatic editor of The Chicago Whip, brought a galaxy of stars of the first water for an afternoon of real entertainment. Leon Diggs, lyric tenor, sang; Jimmy Bertrand, premier zylophonist, charmed the guests with melody from the harmony wood. Lizzie Hart sang the guests out of their seats, and Ernest Witman of the Broadway Rastus Company, brought steady and rapturous applause while he sang "My Mamy." The Cake Walkers from the Old Royal Gardens indulged in light fantastic steps, showing grace and real art. The crowd waited for the appearance of our own Bert Williams, who is now playing at the Studebaker Theatre as star in "The Broadway Brevities." Good Time All the Time For some time the management has allowed pleasure seekers to enter without the usual charge and have convinced the jaded public that real entertainment can be had in the beautiful surroundings of the De Luxe Paradise Gardens. THURSDAY May19, FRIDAY May 20, SATURDAY May 21 VENDOME THEATRE STATE AND 31st STS. New Monogram Theater 3451 State Street, Corner 35th The Home of Colored Vaudeville Always a pleasing show for ladies and gentlemen Colored Comedy Coming Into It's Own. A long felt need is seemingly about to be realized by the organization in this city of The Klimax Film Company, which will endeavor to produce nothing but the very best Colored Comedy. Although there are several other Colored moving picture concerns in this city none of them seem to have as yet developed talent which can be screened in the better class of white theaters. The reason for this seems to be that the most of the colored moving picture concerns throughout the country are producing pictures which have a tendency to create a spirit of antagonism among the colored and white races. It is a well known fact that the colored race make better comedians than any other race, therefore, why has it not been possible to produce comedies which would be in a greater demand than those now being produced by white companies. Direct from New York Winter Garden The Spectacular and Gorgeous Success By comedies we do not mean the "slap stick stuff," or those which have a tendency to belittle the race, but those which will have a tendency to elevate and to also show that the colored race is capable of writing and producing comedies of the very highest type which will have no peer among any race in the world. We know that we have among our race talent which if developed would equal if not excel the Charles Chaplin, Fatty Arbuckle and numerous other comedians on the white screen, therefore, let us get together and do all we can toward helping this organization which promises to develop this talent and thereby elevate colored movies to its rightful place, among the headliners of the best houses. The Vilimax Film Company has opened its offices in The Vincennes Hotel, 36th and Vincennes. Mr. George Allen of Lafayette Players has been secured as director and a number of the best comedians in the country are lining up with Vilimax and best results seem, assured.

"Cannon Ball" Redding released a mighty creditable effort on the slab here last Sunday against the American Giants, only to have his painstaking performance to go for naught. Dave Brown heaved up to his well established form, and should have planked the foe, only for a misjudged fly by Gardener, who had trouble in gauging the foe's impending ingress to third base, from which point the latter scored the only New York run. The Breaks Count. The Breaks Course In the first inning, and Barber was retired since Barber to Grant. Shively rapped one down to Bobby Williams at short; the midfielder inside made a clean pick-up of the batted ball, but failed to get it away in time to head off the flying Shively. Marcelies then drove a high fly to right which the local outfielder muffed, Shively taking third. Pettus then drew a pass to first. Second baseman Brown slapped one down in the direction of DeMoss who successfully intercepted the rolling sphere, only to have the soft bedding beneath his pins to give way when he headed a throw to the plate which only for the breaks, would have killed the feet Shively. DeMoss was only able to retire Brown at first base Handy struck out ending the inning The Fosterites were powerless at bat in the face of the great pitching of Redding and the defense of his mates, and failed to amuse. A few minutes later, Brown pushed a safe one to right. Torrentite drove a safe one to left in the fourth, stole second, and advanced to third on Catcher Roberto Cervelli. Torrentite passed to first; he pitched second. With Malarcher at bat, the copyrighted Giant squere centered the interest of the fans, as Torrentite pitched between second and Malarcher tapped the ball, but to the surprise of all. Redding shuffled over, grabbed the batted ball; Torrentite was in. In the third inning, between second and third and getted, Barber chasing in from center field to complete the out, which framed a double billing. That was the only real success. The bats had to get over the platter until the nuts. Winning Rally Both teams went along peeling off a hit now and, then, to no avail. In the eighth, two hits off Dave Brown, a hit batsman, and a sacrifice, made a shift of pitches lown as at the end of the game, the bad hole by starting a double play, which was successfully completed. Tom Williams, the master slabbit, entered the field and shouted to shoot at in the ninth. He retired the side one, two, three and without much effort. The ninth inning of the home team found DeMoss, the pitcher. The great leader cracked a slashing drive to left along the line and footed it to second. Torrentite, who seemed to have dead head injuries, moved to center field. After the catch, DeMoss tore out for third, gaining the verdict by an eyelash at the third base man dropped it over the much maneuvered pitcher, pulled one close and first, on which Pettus and Brown pulled a mix-up. DeMoss scoring the tieing run. Lyons was safe at first and, as seemingly the National League game, the fleet Lyons pitched second, third, and plunged for the home plate, putting over the winning run of the game. The umpire was seriously questioned by the onus of players, but the official was right on touch and over the play that ended the game, so his unstructured and the verdict fails. The score: Glants.

Edward Gourdin, Harvard, 21, is distinctly a Harvard product. The track and field athlete whom Harvard will depend upon to win at least 16 points, including three firsts, in the dual meet with Yale Saturday has been made during his four years at the Cambridge university. He has been developed and polished by Coaches Pooch Donovan, Edward Farrell and William Bingham, the latter two men being his present caretakers. Preparing for Harvard at Stanton school, Jacksonville, Fla., the bronze- youth participated in both baseball and football. Facilities there were not suitable to track. Gourdin read much about Harvard, about track athletics, and about Pooch Donovan in his prep school days and he was possessed with a desire to test his skill in the sport when he came to Cambridge. Baseball, however, called his attention in the spring of his freshman year but he was not destined to stay with the yearling ball tossers for long Pooch and Eddie Farrell spied him and it was not many days before he was reporting on the cinder path rather than on the freshman diamond Gourdin a Natural Track and Field Star. From the very first he showed a natural aptitude for track. He devoted his time to sprints and the broad jump, and as a freshman competed in dual meets with Exeter and Andover. He failed to win his numerals because of a technicality concerning his eligibility for the Yale meet. In his first year of varsity competition he placed second in both the Yale and Princeton meets in the quarter-suite run, it having been decided by the coaches that that was the event for him. He continued his broad jumping and won the event against Yale. Since then he has had a varied but most successful career at Harvard. Perhaps his greatest achievement was at the Stadium on Saturday when competing against Technology he won the 100 and 220-day dashes, placed second in the shot-put and made a new Harvard record when he cleared 23ft 11½ in in the running broad jump. His record until that meet includes some very meritorious performances. His share in collecting points against Princeton and Yale last season was represented in the former meet by three seconds and in the latter meet by a first, a second and a third. He participated in the Olympic tryouts but did not qualify for the overseas trip, one reason being that he was not right. Has Had Greatest Success This Year. This season has been his greatest, Starting indoors he showed speed aplenty in the dashes and 300-yard run, winning the longer event in the triangular meet with Cornell and Dartmouth. He ran at the B. A. A. games for the second time in the short relay against Tech. On the southern training trip he won both the broad jump and the century dash against Penn State, being clocked in 9-4.5 seconds for the sprint. Against Pennsylvania he won the broad jump and the 100 and placed second in the furlong. In the Penn carnival he won the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet 10% inches, yet in three trials, all of which were declared fouls, he cleared well over 24 feet. That brings him up to the present and it is safe to say that the entire intercollegiate world will be watching his individual efforts at New Haven. Farrell Rates Him America's Best. Ned Gourdin is 23 years old, weighs 170 pounds and stands 5 feet 11% inches. Eddie Farrell, the Crimson field coach, styles him America's greatest all-round track athlete, and rates YOU can have soft, silky hair that can be easily dressed, EXELENTO has made happy thousands of women who had coarse, nappy hair.

"LEFTY" FLOURNEY." The West is not the only section that can boast of a high grade of off-side pitching. Flourney takes front rank with the leading south-paw pitchers of the country. He has a world of stuff, good control, is a student of the game and is rated as a winning pitcher by the Hilldale management. STARS DEFEAT "RIX" Pitcher Who Has Held Spell Over Them Is Loser. Detroit, Mich., May 16—Sunday's game at Mack park between the Briscoes of Jackson and the Detroit Stars was won by the Detroiters, 3 to 1. "Rip" Hagerman, pitching for the visitors, was touched up for seven hits, while Force, Stars' pegger, was very stingy, letting his opponents down with three safeties, two of which came in the eighth inning, and one in the ninth.

Furthermore, Head Coach Bill Bingham speaks in the same glowing terms of the star's versatility. He will be a great loss to the Crimson when he graduates in June, but Yale and Princeton will weep no tears. Just now his all-round ability is causing followers of Old Eli and the Tiger just a wee bit of worry. An athlete capable of winning three firsts is a bad customer in any dual meet. New Laurels for Gourdin. New Haven, Conn., May 14—(Special)—Yale today won from Harvard 62 1-3 to 56 2-3 in their annual dual track meet, which was not decided until only two events remained of a stubbornly contested program. Captain Ted Gourdin of Harvard and Tom Campbell of Yale were the individual stars, Gourdin capturing the 100-yard dash and the broad jump and finished second in the 220-yard dash, for a total of 13 points, the best showing of the day.

LOUISANS SUCCUMB TO BUCKEYES 7-3 Columbus, O., May 17.—Taking the lead in the opening round when Outfielder Woods pulled off the first of three theits, which followed as many hits, Columbus Buckeyes took the first of the series from the St. Louis Giants by a score of 7 to 3. Woods, one of the speediest outfielders seen here in years, faced Brooks of the visitors four times and as many times reached first, three times on hits and once on an error. Three times he stole and three times he scored. Roberts, who did the twirling for Columbus, had a world of stuff, but his control was none too good. He allowed only a single hit in the first five innings, and would not have been scored upon in the sixth had not Woods lost Charleston's fly in the sun, permitting it to go for two bases. The Missouri aggregation first saw the home plate in the sixth. A pass to Hewitt, Charleston's fluke double and Dudley's line single turned the trick. In the seventh the Buckeyes put the game on ice, scoring three runs on singles by Woods and Lloyd, Brown's walk, Thomas' sacrifice fly and Bennett's error. Singles by Hewitt, Blackwell and Charleston gave the visitors their final run in the eighth.

Who owns the Smith home at 3338 Rhodes Ave? The deeds say it belongs to Isom Smith, but according to all available witnesses, it was the sole property of Hill Smith, his brother for a few short and hot Minutes Monday morning, after he got through spattering bullets around the premises. It appears that the whole Smith family got together the money with which to purchase the family homestead, but somehow the deeds came back from the lawyer's office made out to Isom Smith alone, and whenever the question of ownership arose, Isom would flourish the deeds. Hill proved, however, that the pistol is mightier than the pen, and would no doubt be in possession of the property still, had not the police arrived. Standing Of The Clubs W L Pet. Chicago A.

These are the tragedies which continue and the citizens of Chicago are forced to witness them. The Mayor of Chicago and his administration are indeed confronted with a situation which requires immediate action and drastic measures. The voters and citizens know that someone is to blame for this protracted lawless- ness and no one is willing to fix the blame solely upon the aldermen, the police department, the State’s Attorney or the Mayor. The administration bears the blame and it wears the black eye of loose government. But since Mayor Thompson is the boss of the admin- istration, it appears that he should be held to strict accountability for the present civic disaster. Everyone wishes to “boost Chicago,” but no one cherishes the idea of being a public hypocrite. We cannot honestly boost when crime, debauchery and destruction are evident in every ward. In one ward we have en Ex-Alderman waylaid and slain, in another we have series of bank robberies and hold-ups and in our own Second Ward we have all of the aforesaid evils multiplied, plus the hellish bombing of our homes. If the administration is willing to settle these domestic problems and avoid issues which have no direct bearing on our civic life, we will be loud in our praises and above the humdrum and bustle of life our clarion voices will be heard “boosting Chicago.” If the administration will catch ONE bomb thrower, or if the Mayor will issue a statement against organizations which breed these vicious creatures, we no doubt will become interested in “the pageant of progress” and the “question of public utilities.” As things presently are we are primarily interested in protecting our lives and property and the fundamental guarantees of citizenship. It appears to us indeed ridiculous to pussy-foot while over fifty of our homes have been bombed, while the Ku Klux Klan has notoriously begun operations and serious racial dangers loom above our horizon. Now is no time to play politics and if the Mayor plays politics at our expense, he will lose our support and the feet of “Bill” Thomp- son, the one time idol of Chicago’s black citizens will crumble and prove that they were made of clay all along. What silences Mayor Thompson’s lips against the bombers and blackguards? Is he afraid? Or, does he feel that he will prejudice his political prestige among our enemies by taking a man’s stand? Black citizens are beginning to see through political fictions and to realize “that all that glistens, is not gold.” Mayor Thompson evidently feels that the black people are too ignorant to interpret his prolonged silence, but though everything else reverts to normalcy, the minds of the black people will remain where they have advanced, for they hav reached a distinct period in racial evolution. Those who oppose our presence in certain neighborhoods have expressed their dissatisfaction and bombs have followed in orderly sequence. Either the Mayor is in sympathy with these acts of dis- satisfaction and disrespect for the law or he has not considered it politically wise to raise his voice. At any rate we have been made the goat because it was our vote which put “Bill” Thompson in office. .The black eye that the administration wears will operate toward its defeat at the polls in the Second Ward unless the citizens who live within that ward receive adequate protection from the Mayor. No administration which is unable or unwilling to protect its citizens is fit to serve. We would suffer no worse if one of the bombers were Mayor. The laxity of the administration will pre ¢e its ultimate destruction because on all sides the question is heard, “Who sealed Thompson’s lips?” Who’s Next? It has come to our attention that Perry Howard, of Mississippi, has been appointed special assistant United States Attorney General. His salary, according to the same report, is to be $5,000.00 per annum. Howard’s appointment should deeply concern every progressive and thoughtful Black Person. He belongs to the tail end of the old crowd, “me to boss” political leaders. Through crude and expedient machinations the clique to which he belongs has added greatly to the myriad of weighty problems that confront the mass of Black Folk. In fact, if the black man’s plea for equality is not entirely ignored by the powers that be, it is certainly not the fault of the school of men whom Howard represents. Perhaps the blackest mark that has been registered against the record of black folks in the last score of years was caused by Howard and his bosom friend, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Howard con- ducted, or rather misconducted, the “Jim Crow” speak- ers’ bureau in the national. headquarters during the late campaign.. Not a single progressive young man was allowed to be connected in any way. The funds of the National Committee were misappropriated. White men higher up in the council of the party knew of this malpractice. Even now, when sincere steps are taken to show the black men’s ability, and what he is entitled to, the unsavory record of these gentlemen looms up. Only a fortnight ago appeals were sent out from Washington to maintain a racial Legislative Bureau. The name of Mr. Howard was attached to the petition. According to his own testimony, it was the object of this bureau to act as a sort of ‘“‘watch dog” to guard the in- terest of the black race. Another of its important functions was to urge necessary remedial legislation to cure our economic and political ailments. Some individuals and organizations no doubt were fooled into pare their hard-earned cash to support this scheme. For- tunately, The Whip was not anesthetized by this pathetic appeal. In the first place, it knew that such a bureau was unnecessary. It also knew that if it was that Perry Howard and his chief, Linc Johnson, were unfit to be at its head. In an editorial of April 9th, “Help, Help!” we accused these men of being insincere. We predicted their desertion of the Legislative Bureau when the first “political plum” was dangled before them. What we anticipated has been unques- tionably proven. Perry Howard has deserted, Who's next? 7" Hehe A DAUR 10 AFNILA, A phrase that seems to have the same effect upon some of the editor- ial writers of one of our World's greatest weeklies as a red flag before a bull, They see something that un- usually attracts their eye and. they butt into it with head down without reason or thought, and accomplish nothing but a super effort, that causes them brain fever, enunciating a mul- tiple of false conclusions and present- ing a lot of fallacious statements that would be unworthy of attention, were they not palmed off for Editorials in 4 race paper of wide circulation, styl- ing itself the “World's greatest.” For that reason I consider it well, through the columns of the races’ most loyal paper to correct those fallacies and present to the misled public the true doctrine of what they are pleased to call the, “Back to Africa", but in fact is the Universal Negro, Improvement Association, and stands ‘for and advo- cates the following things:— Only a fool would take exception, to administer to and assist the needy in a practical way, by creating industrial opportunities through co-operation of small finance. Only one who wants to be dependent all the time can be blind to the advan tages of that. To assist in civilizing the backward tribes of Africa, and in the developement of Independent Ne- gro nations and Communities. For what are collections taken to send Missionairies to these fields, if not to assist in their developement? Is. it just a by play for to turnish jobs for some preacher or teacher of the black folks, to open the doors of Commerce for the alien races: or is it to help the native to realize his own ability and come forth and use means at his hand to develop himself and his own coun try? To work for the protection of the Negro wherever he is and enable him to lift from his shoulders the yolk of oppression, economically, indust rially, commercially, politically and educationally. To conduct a world wide commercial and industrial inter- course for the good of the peoples, to work for beter conditions in ail com- munities where Negroes live. This is the program, It cannot be carried out by asking people to stand up and count noses as to who wants to Ko back to Africa, Although there are hundreds of thousands of Negroes to day who would willingly go back if the way was now possible, rather than stay here and in other countries and suffer the persecutions, injustice and humiliation they are suffering. The presumption of the iguorance of others ased upon the lack of knowledge assesses by the Editor of a great World weekly, is sufficient evidence in itself of his inefficiency to judge as to. whether any one should go back to Africa, or anywhere else to better their condition. Any one who is a student at all of history must admit that all Negroes came originally from Africa, as the Italians have come from Italy, the German from Germany, ete, and though American citizens by choice, yet can and do refer to their fatherland with a racial pride, But in the wisdom of this Negro Editor, the Negro, is crazy if he even thinks about refer ing to or talk about going back whence he was brought. “Oh consis. tency thou art a jewel. He would have them to continue always to re- tain. the submissive, cringing and servile spirit instilled in him by an alien race and bow and scrape to that race rather than have him recognize in his own a leadership for advance- ment to a higher and nobler manhood, backed up by doing things for himself along the line of a definite program. What has the white man to gain in going to Africa? If he has anything to gain going there and oppressing the native to gain it, surely the Negro has much more to gain by going there and co-operating with the Native. Stirely he cannot find a much lower Erade of civilization than is manifested here in Georgia and the other South- ern States where the mass of our people now live.
