Murders Wife, Sets House Afire To Burn Her Body KU KLUX INITIATE 3,000 HERE --- PRICE 5 CENTS Senate Refuses To Confirm 'Linc' Johnson VOL. III. — NO. 34 Senate R 'LINC' JOHNSON'S APPOINTMENT IS HELD UP Senate Reluctant to Confirm Man Whose Actions Scandalized Republican Party. WASHINGTON. D. C., Aug. 20.—As a result, probably, of the storm of protest aroused against him, the Senate in executive session last Wednesday, failed to confirm President Harding's appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia; Johnson's appointment was returned to the committee on District Affairs Opposition From Two Angles Strangely enough, although Johnson's appointment met the bitterest opposition from Southern whites, it is believed that members of his own race threw the weight which turned the scales against him. When Johnson's name was mentioned for appointment, he was objected to by Southern whites on the grounds that placing him over a department which employed scoresNoF white women as stenographers would be extremely distasteful to Southern voters. At the same time a much more serious objection was raised within his own race against Johnson's appointment. It was charged that Henry Lincoln Johnson was not the proper type of man to represent his people at the National Capital. To Investigate Charges When the "Colonel's" appointment A. B. Henry Lincoln Johnson was referred to the Committee on District Affairs, of which Senator Ball is chairman, it was stated that this action was for the purpose of investigating charges which have been openly made against him. The most serious charge made was that Johnson had accepted $9,000 from the "Lowden slush fund" with which to buy the votes of the Georgia delegation to the Republican convention in Chicago in 1920. It was further charged that during the National campaign after President Harding had been nominated, that Johnson, without authority, assumed dictatorship over the "speakers" bureau, with headquarters in Chicago, and wantonly disposed of the $10,000 appropriation for Republican speakers before the campaign was half under way. It is said that Johnson employed the services of many who were utterly unfit to place the aims of the Republican party before the public, and thus discharged many of his personal obligations by furnishing his obliges work. Many stories are told of how he sent to Georgia for men to come and speak in Illinois, at the same time sending Illinoisans to speak in California, when he could have easily obtained capable speakers at the places in question, and at a great saving to the Republican treasury. "Legislative Relief" Affair These charges have all been made by Johnson's enemies with the intention of proving the contention that he has consistently prostituted his (Continued on Page 4.) A view of Chicago Citizens worshipping at the false shrine of the Ku Klux Klan. It has been discovered that many thousand sons of Illinois have been enchanted by the wizardy of the "Invisible Emperor", who has pledged his empire to preserve the supremacy of the white race, protect the women and destroy certain religions. ROBBERY OF POOR IS FEATURE OF ELKS'C.RNIVAL State St. Insulted By Orgy Of Gambling At Impossible Odds. After a hectic and spasmodic life of seven days, the Elks' Carnival along State st. from 31st to 37th sts. came to an end Sunday night. Games of chance of every description flourished intermittently. The carnival opened Monday night with an array of pinwheels and shell games that would have shamed Monte Carlo. The busiest thoroughfare on the South Side was given over to open, notorious, and unabashed gambling. The constant click of the wheels and the merry voices of the gamblers rivaled the rivolities of a European casino—this as a time when Chicago, and especially Chicago's South Side is in the grip of a business depression, unrivalled in the history of the city—a time when thousands are jobless and hundreds homeless and hungry, and facing a winter of starvation with no relief in sight. Newmark Closes Games This state of affairs continued without interference until late into the week when State's Attorney Crowe's chief investigator, Ben Newmark, with his secretary, Sgt. McCarthy, came through State St., stopping all games of chance. Early Friday morning it is said that officials in charge of the carnival, whose names are withheld, attempted to interview Mr. Newmark, with a view to reopening the gambling. Their efforts failed, however, it is said. Later in the day they are said to have succeeded in influencing a prominent South Side politician to appeal to Mr. Newmark in their behalf. The politician referred to is wek-known as a South Side "boss," although he now holds no political office. He is said to have gained the consent of Newmark, and the games resumed operation Friday night. $500.00 is said to have changed hands in the deal. The gambling continued Friday night, but Saturday night policemen were seen again dismantling pinwheels. Proceeding south from 31st St., they dismantled the games as they went. As soon as they had gotten into the next block, however, the games were resumed, only to be stopped at the approach of another policeman. Play Hide and Seek. This game of hide and seek between the police department and the concessionaires, who were almost entirely white, continued through Saturday CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, AUGUST 20th, 1921 TABLET WILL MARK FIRST JOHN BROWN RAID FATALITY CHARLESTOWN, W. VA. Aug. 16.—A tablet is to be erected by Lawson Botts Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy, on the site where Hayward Shepherd a colored man at Harper's Ferry, met death in the John Brown raid of 1859, it was announced here today. Shepherd, the records show, was the first man killed in the raid. $50,000 Gambled Away $50,000 Gambled Away. In spite of the perilous times now being captured, it is estimated that fully $50,000 was gambled away at 10c a throw. One pinwheel was watched at 35th and State Sts., which purported to give away clocks and silverware. The chances were 10c each. There were thirty numbers. But each number had five subdivisions, only one being "lucky." In other words, if a player put 10c on every number, he still had 120 chances to lose. The total odds against him were 149 to 1. The total amount on the boards when the numbers were covered was $3.00. This wheel was turned on an average of once a minute, netting to its operators an approximate average of $180.00 per hour. Playing four hours per night at top speed, it would yield a return of $220.00 per night, or slightly more than $5,000 for the seven nights. In three hours that it was watched Thursday night, one clock was given away. Taking this one wheel as typical, it can be easily estimated that at least $50,000 was gambled away during the week. ASK CERTIORARI WRIT FOR "ELAINE RIOTERS" WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 20—Atty. E. L. McHaney, who visited Associate Justice Holmes, of the Supreme Court, presenting a petition for a writ of error on ruling of the Arkansas Supreme Court, has announced that he will now ask for a writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court in an effort to save the unnamed men from the electric chair. Governor McRae has set September 23 as the date of execution. LOVE-MAD SUITOR SHOOTS GIRI MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 20—Miss Anna May McSwain, 17, of 919 Exchange Ave., was shot in the right side and right arm last week when she refused to marry a man who had proposed to her. Physicians say she will recover. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 20.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today urged all possible aid in the defense of Maurice Mays, twice convicted in Tennessee of the murder of Mrs. Bertie Lindsey in August, 1919. Since the arrest and conviction of Mays other white women have been attacked by a dark white man, and the Knoxville, Tennessee, Journal and Tribune of August 3, 1921, prints the following cases: "Mrs. Dan White, Hart Avenue, Man entered her home in September, 1919, and told her if she screamed he would murder her 'as he had killed Bertie Lindsey'. "Mrs. Nettie Pingston, Maria Street, Home entered by man in autumn of 1919. He told her he would 'kill her as he had killed other white women' if she screamed." The items tend to corroborate Mays' assertion that he is innocent of the crime attributed to him. If the unknown criminal said he had killed Mrs. Bertie Lindsey, as is quoted, every effort should be made to have that fact established legally, for the attack on Mrs. Dan White occurred after Maurice Mays had been placed in prison charged with the murder of Mrs. Bertie Lindsey. The Tennessee branches of the N.A. A. C. P. with some aid from the national office, have been fighting this case. The national office feels that it is one meriting the assistance of such as can give it. ANNISTON, Ala., Aug. 20.—Fearing an attempt to take the life of Clyde Thomas, two machine gun sections left Camp McClellan Monday for Birmingham, to accompany him to Centerville, where he will be tried for the murder of a farmer's daughter. The girl was attacked and choked to death. Her body was found several hours after she had been killed. Our hours are not busy here. There were no witnesses to the crime, and no direct evidence as to the identity of the murderer. Over 100 men were arrested, but all were subsequently released except Thomas. In the face of open threats to lynch the prisoner, the machine gun sections have been ordered to accompany him to court and remain on duty throughout the trial. VICE-PRESIDENT OFBINGABANKIN 'VICE' EXPOSE Charge Charles Jackson With Running Gambling Den And Selling Whiskey. South Side gambling circles were startled when, on the night of July 10, Carter Hayes, alleged representative of the gambling syndicate which controls, regulates and protects gambling in the Second Ward, was kidnapped by secret investigators. The Chicago Whip carried exclusively the story of Hayes' kidnapping and the dramatic incidents surrounding it. Almost one full month later, daily papers are carrying the same story with Hayes' full confession, in addition. According to these stories this syndicate operates under protection furnished by political leaders allied with the city hall machine. The names and locations of the dives involved in Hayes' confession are familiar to all South Siders. Prominent among those mentioned is the Railroad Men's Club, 3448 Indiana Ave. This club is said to be owned by Charles Jackson and Bill Cowan. Jackson is the brother of Dan Jackson, said to be the receiver of the "sindicate money" significant that the protection money paid by this club, said to belong to Charles Jackson, was but $75.00 per week, while others paid amounts ranging from $150.00 per week upward, some as high as $600.00, Whiskey and gin were also said to be sold there. Leading Business Man Charles Jackson's connection with the vice ring comes as a surprise to many, as he is generally known as one of the leaders in legitimate business on the South Side. He is the proprietor of an undertaking business at 3315 State St. He is also vice president of the Binga State bank. Once Caught in Whiskey Net Jackson gained much notoriety recently when United States officers are said to have found large quantities of whiskey concealed in coffins in his establishment. It could not be learned whether the Bingham bank would take any official notice of Jackson's connection with the vice ring. "PAINLESS DENTISTS" HELD FOR WHITE WOMAN'S DEATH The Boston Dentists owned and controlled by the Boston Dental Corporation which operates a "Painless Parlor" at 3457 South State St., under the name of the New York Dentists are held in connection with the death of Mrs. Winifred Bagley. Mrs. Bagley was electrocuted by the Xray Apparatus which has burned and injured so many colored people. Say Heart Failure. G. B. Gardner, whose red face and shifty eyes are known in South Side circles, testified that Mrs. Bagley died of heart failure as did Mrs. A. G. Tar, wife of the firm's president, are now accused of perjury. Inquiries proved that Mrs. Bagley was severely burned about the hands and that her body was highly discolored. Mrs. Gagley has never had heart failure according to her husband's testimony. Attempts were made to spirit the body away thru the firm's undertakers. Famous for Perjuries The "Painless" Dentists also maintain an establishment at 135 N. State St., where colored people are Jim-Crowed. Since opening their South Side Office many complaints have been registered against their malpractice and many have been injured. Colored people will not be startled because of Mrs. Bagley's electrocution. Read, Think and Act HERE Vice-Lord? XX KILLS WIFE, SETS HOME AFIRE TO COVER CRIME North Carolina Man Held For Arson And Murder Following Brutal Crime. SALISBURY, N. C., Aug. 20. After murdering his wife, Mrs. Ella Trueblood, LeRoy Trueblood left her body in their home here, and set the house afire, helping, it is believed, to obliterate his crime with flames. Held on Two Capital Charges. He is now being held on two capital charges, murder and arson, arson being a capital offense in this state. Shortly after midnight Monday night flames were seen leaping from his home. Efforts of the fire department failed to save the house, and it was almost reduced to ashes. Find Wife's Body in Ruins. After the flames had died down, the body of Mrs. Trueblood was found among the ashes. It was at first thought that she had been trapped by the flames, which broke out while she was sleeping. Closer examination of her body showed, however, that her body was but slightly burned, but several deep bruises and lacerations were found. Her head was also crushed as if by some blunt object. A heavy club was also found among the ruins, but was so badly charred by the flames that it could not be definitely pointed to as the death weapon. Trueblood Held by Coroner. Upon being closely questioned, LeRoy Trueblood became nervous and gave several contradictory answers. After examining a number of witnesses, the coroner's jury rendered a verdict that in its opinion Mrs. Ella Trueblood came to her death by bourne means, and that she was dead before the house was burned. LEAGUE CALLS HALT TO BOAT SEGREGATION BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 20. On the request of Mr. Matthew Bullock, secretary of the Boston Urban League to assist in endeavoring to prevent any all-Colored day for children is heretofore on the Rundidge excursion down Boston Harbor, in the city's steamer, the Equal Rights League finally got face to face with Penal Institutions Commissioner O'Brien. With Secretary Trotter of the National body as spokesman, the League found Mr. O'Brien willing to accede to the desire of the race to have nothing savoring of segregation and white children also will go on Aug. 17. GRIFFIN IS MECCA FOR GEORGIA ODD FELLOWS GRIFFIN, Ga., Aug. 20—Griffin was the Mecca last week for hundreds of Georgia Odd Fellows on the occasion of the annual meeting of the state Grand Lodge. --- EIGHT PAGES Held on Two Capital Charges.

There are 2,376 new Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Chicago today. Altogether there are nearly 15,000. 2,376 new members joined this murderous organization near Lake Zurich at midnight Tuesday. They took the oath on a broad meadow in a driving rain. Early Tuesday afternoon intelligence agencies of this paper learned of the planned initiation. At that time, the exact location was shrouded in mystery. Our photographer was immediately instructed to be present and obtain a photograph of the rites. Promptly at 11:00 P. M. Tuesday night the automobile bearing Chicago Whip representatives fell in line behind the cavalcade on North Central Park Ave. Other cars coming later fell in behind it. The Whip car was then a part of the Ku Klux procession. The strange procession stopped six miles south of Lake Zurich, where the password was given. On a broad meadow under a driving rain, lighted by a thousand torches, nearly three thousand white men took a mysterious oath to obey the commands of the Klan. Obedience to these commands has meant blood-shed, mob violence and outlawry in the South. What will it mean in Chicago? The central feature at the initiation was a blazing cross. Near one end of the cross, seated on a sort of throne, sat William Simmons, of Atlanta. He had come for the express purpose of conducting the vites. ON THE WANE IN OTHER PARTS OF COUNTRY ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 20.—Officials of the Ku Klux Klan, noting the universal opposition to the order now growing throughout the country, and tearing the disintegration of the organization, are making strenuous efforts to knit it back together. Do Newspaper Advertising. Full-page advertisements have been released for publication throughout the country. One of these appeared in the Chicago Tribune Tuesday morning, August 16. In this advertisement William J. Simmons, "imperial wizard," of the Klan takes cognizance of widespread public opposition to the order, and says that "traitors within our ranks are making a concerted effort to discredit us." He further says that the Klan is not designed to act as a law enforcement or moral correction agency. Carolina "Knight" Admits Criminal Acts In the face of this statement, Major Bruce Craven, Supreme Head of the Klan in North Carolina, in dissolving the Klan in that state, made a remarkable confession. Through the authority vested in him, Major Craven, dissolved the order in North Carolina, and himself resigned. He said in connection with his resignation: "I notified Imperial Wizard Simmons, in Atlanta, exactly what I was going to do, and asked him if there was anything to show my present ideas erroneous, to show me in advance of publication. He made no answer to it for the simple reason that it cannot be answered. "At the time of this interview, I am the supreme head of the order in North Carolina, subject only to the imperial wizard; and I now declare the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina disbanded and abandoned, every or (Continued on Page 2.)

C., Aug. 20.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public extracts from the hearings held by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives, at which Judge Gay D. Goff, assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, testified that in his belief the Dyer Anti Lynchning bill was constitutional and would be held so by the Supreme Court of the United States, if enacted into law. One of the chief objections which has been urged against a federal anti Lynchning bill is the question of its constitutionality and the testimony of the Assistant to the United States Attorney General disposes of this objection. Judge Goff based his interpretation upon the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution which prohibits a State from denying to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. "The State can deny this right through an executive officer," said Judge Goff, "as readily as it can through a legislative or a judicial act. If a state, acting through its highest the right we know, of course, how is a direct appeal, if the record has properly raised the point, to the Supreme Court of the United States. If the legislative department denies the right we know, of course, how the right is preserved and enforced. "The mere fact that the Congress of the United States has never affirmed, so far as I have been able to understand, that the appropriate legislation under this constitutional provision sought to restrain the executive officers of the States from denying this right is no reason why Congress should not now take such appropriate action as will tend to protect their and similar rights." Judge Goff again summarized his opinion by saying that "it has been definitely established that there is a Federal police power; that Congress can invoke this power within the limit and according to the provisions of constitutional limitations; and that Congress having so invoked the power can enforce it to the fullest extent." Mr. Reavis, one of the members of the committee, then asked Judge, "If it was asserted won correctly, the mere passage of a law by Congress seeking to guarantee to an individual the rights granted under the fourteenth amendment would not foreclose the issue of fact as to whether or not he had been denied those rights by a State." To which Judge Goff replied, in part: "No; but I would say this! That if Congress saw fit to pass a law which came within the meaning, as the courts have defined that meaning, of the fourteenth amendment, that then the courts could not conduct an inquiry as to whether Congress was justified in deciding what is general law, and that it is not as we know, can take affirmative action or not upon many questions with in its unrestriction." One of the members of the Judiciary Committee, Mr. Hersey, then put the following question to Judge Goff: "Suppose that up in my state—which has a law against mobs and riotous assemblages, and criminal laws, as most States have, against murder, unlawful killings, etc—a mob should assemble, or there should be a riotous assemblage, resulting in the lynching of a person, without the knowledge of the sheriff of the county or any State officer, and that no official of the State, who has the duty of enforcing the law, should be present or have any knowledge of it, would that make the State guilty under Judge Goff's reply was, in effect that the State could no more plead ignorance than could an individual as an extenuation for violating the law. He said: "I think that would make the State guilty under this statute, if it were enacted, because the State HIGH COST OF MARRIAGE FORCES GROOM TO THEFT HIGH COST OF MARRIAGE FORCES GROOM TO THEFT TEXARKANA, Texas, Aug. 20.—Cleveland Kerr, 20 years of age, has been held to the Miller county grand jury on charges of larceny, and held in jail in default of a $1,000 bond. Kerr, who married Saturday afternoon, is said to have stolen several pairs of silk stockings, silk gaters, and underwear, all of which he took home and presented to his bride. COWBOY PULLS WILD WEST STUFF ON STATE ST. "Cowboy," a well known State St character, was aptly nicknamed, according to those who witnessed his anties on State St., between 35th and 30th Sts. Monday afternoon. Late Monday afternoon, Columbus Jackson, of the Jackson Loan and Diamond Co., found "Cowboy" dozing in his automobile. Jackson's efforts to rout "Cowboy" resulted in violent contact between "Cowboy's" brawny fists and Jackson's head. Officer Reese appeared on the scene at this juncture and separated the two. "Cowboy" followed Jackson to his store, however, and attempted to attack him again. By this time Reese, reinforced by Policeman Heiser, started dragging "Cowboy" to the box; he had by this time become violently infuriated and was cursing and tightening like a maniac. Seeing their brother policemen in difficulty, four other officers and three civilians ran to the rescue of Reese and Heiser, who finally succeeded in dragging the wild man to the box at 35th and State Sts. He was not subdued, however, until Officer Heiser succeeded in tripping him and throwing him to the ground, then泵 putting his No. 13 foot on "Cowboy's" neck. Heiser's foot ended his resistance. 18 DAYS ENOUGH FOR SHOOTING MAN ABOUT WIFE, SAYS JUDGE has been held for eighteen days for cutting Henry Gibson, who was playing cards with the wife of Thorpe at 4113 Indiana Ave., was discharged by Judge Cook at Harrison Street Station. Thorpe stated that Gibson was a "fleettooted man" and therefore his wife thought that Gibson was able to give her more than himself, so chopped him up with a knife. The judge decided that eighteen days which he had been held in jail was enough to compensate for the crime. All of these arrests were made during the week or were due to the efforts of the activities of the Detective Sergeants Scott, Smith, Starnes and Middleton. This squad is directly under the supervision of Sergeant Scott. could be charged with the omission to have sufficient power at its command, at every instant of time, to enforce the law, or to protect the rights of the individual. The State is not to be heard to plead ignorance of the facts or inability to maintain law or order. Judge Goff's conclusion was given by him as follows: "Must the Congress of this country sit supinely by when it knows that a State, either affirmatively or negatively, is denying that right? If the State omits to give or withholds protection through motives of indifference or inability, is the guaranty performed and the duty of the Federal Government discharged? In a word, is the fourteenth amendment meaningless because of State negativity? I hope not, and I think not." SUMMER SCHOOL AT HAMPTON WAS GREAT SUCCESS HAMPTON, Va., Aug. 20 — Hampton institute has just closed the most successful summer school in all its history. Some 637 colored teachers came from 17 states. Virginia led the list with 187 and was closely followed by North Carolina with 166 South Carolina sent 57; Maryland, 55; Georgia, 34; Tennessee, 25; and Mississippi, 21. "More than one-half of those who were refused admission on account of lack of room," said Dr. George P. Phenix, vice principal of Hampton Institute and director of the summer school, "were from states not contiguous to Virginia." The Hampton summer school enrollment included 94 county-training-school teachers (including 33 principals); 52 high-school teachers (including principals); 44 principals of added schools; 54 industrial supervising teachers; and 14 matrons of boarding schools. "It is not improbable," said Dr Phenix, "that in the near future Hampton Institute will offer more courses covering 12 weeks of work, besides continuing the present summer school of six weeks."

HOSPITAL CAMPAIGN OPENS WITH MUCH ENTHUSIASM The first donation for the Greater Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for nurses was received last Friday at the luncheon given by the Woman's Organization at the Appomattox Club. The donor was Dr. J. Herbert Gray, who saw the announcement in the paper and hastened to send it by special delivery. The luncheon was a great success and the club room was taxed to capacity. A stirring address was delivered by Rev. W. D. Cook, who said that the time had come when all little unit affairs must be laid aside to take part in this great campaign, which was of great importance to the masses of the people. He pledged himself as well as his church to do their utmost to make this public drive a great success. Mr. Wells Barnett also made a strong appeal for volunteers to take part in the campaign, and all who had not yet signed up, immediately do so. Mrs. Emma Smith was the first to respond.

REFUSE SERVICE TO PATTI BROWN IN LOOP STORE Mune, Anita Patti Brown and Miss Nathalie Doxley entered the Owl Drug Store at the corner of Quincy and State Streets last Tuesday afternoon, August 9th and sought to be served at the soda fountain. Whereas the clerks did not refuse to serve the ladies they so embarrassed them by keeping them waiting without giving them service while white people were being served all around them. The ladies complained to the management, insisting upon service. They were again humiliated, the clerks causing them to remain seated without service. The second appeal to the management caused the ladies to leave the store and take their case to Attorney Westbrooks, who will bring suit. It is to be remembered that this same store accepted the patronage of these ladies and other colored persons for other articles but balked when the ladies sat down at the soda fountain. A BIT OF ADVICE Every person of color who finds themselves face to face with a situation like these ladies should try in a calm, quiet and deliberate manner to make the clerks or management tell you that they do not wish to serve you because you are colored and always try to have witnesses with you. If you cannot get this commitment try and make the clerk or management so act that his actions amount to a refusal. Then take your case to a good lawyer. Colored people who trade in the loop will remember the Owl Drug Store and be prepared to protect themselves and insist on getting service. EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE TO MEET HERE IN SEPTEMBER BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 20.—The National Officers of the National Equal Rights League, whose 14th annual meeting is set for Sept. 10-14 in the Pilgrim Baptist Tabernacle, 33rd Street and Indiana Avenue, Chicago, invite the lay and religious workers and leaders for citizenship and rights to come as equal rights delegates from branches, churches, women clubs, civic organizations and even fraternal bodies for a national conference to plan a national campaign within the race to secure passage of the legislation. A congress calculated to make effective the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. The active cooperation of race workers, leaders and editors of the race is asked at this crisis when all branches of the federal government are Republican, to come together and plan together a concerted movement that at least the race may do its part.

Kills Man Who Keep Wife Out Late After Church RALEIGH, N. C., Aug. 20—Robert Smith, of Garner, died in the St. Agnes Hospital here from wounds inflicted by John Norwood, who is prominently known in Garner. Norwood shot Smith three times several Sunday nights ago when Smith returned from the neighborhood church with Mrs. Norwood in his automobile. According to witnesses, Norwood consented for Smith to escort his wife to evening services, and the pair had attended church together for several Sunday nights. On the particular Sunday night in question, it appears that Smith and Mrs. Norwood took an unusually long time to return from church. When the pair did arrive, Norwood accosted them, and fired two shots into the body of Smith. Not being sure that his victim was dead, he is said to have taken a drink of whiskey from a bottle, and fired the third shot, completing the job. Norwood is now being held for murder.

The latest transgression charged against him is his creation of a bureau at Washington for the avowed purpose of obtaining "legislative relief" for the race. Letters and circulars have been sent throughout the country asking contributions to forward its ends. In view of the fact that there are numerous offices of organizations of long standing, his critics say that his request is merely a creature brought into being for the purpose of giving him and his staff of followers a visible means of support while they are in Washington waiting for possible appointments. ```markdown ``` Johnson Silent When questioned by newspaper men concerning the Senate's failure to confirm his appointment, Johnson refused to express himself, merely saying, "The question is before the Senate, and I have nothing to say in the matter." Linney's Appointment Confirmed Co-incidental with its failure to confirm Johnson, the Senate confirmed the appointment of Frank A. Linney, of North Carolina, whose appointment Johnson has vigorously opposed. Linney, who is a white Republican, is said to have strongly advocated a "illy-white" ticket in that state. --- The supposed scandal in the speakers' bureau, which is supposed to have led to Johnson's downfall, was aired in a story which appeared in the Chicago Whip, Oct. 23, 1920. It is here-with reprinted: Huge Waste of Money Charged. Rumors of willful waste and useless expenditure of money by the managers of the Separate Speakers' Bureau of the Republican National Committee, with headquarters at the Auditorium Hotel, are about in Chicago and various other sections of the country. The Speakers' Bureau has been conducted by Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Committeeman from Georgia, and Perry W. Howard, of Mississippi. It is charged that these officials have spent several thousands of dollars, much of which was spent for unnecessary long distance telephone calls, and in bringing their friends from voteless states in the South to advise voters in Northern and Western states how they should Friends Given Preference. It cannot be charged against them, said a prominent Chicagoan, that they have failed to give their various friends and lodge members from Georgia and Mississippi, the preference. The speaker said that he did not know that there were so many leading colored men in the South undiscovered, until the present campaign began. Instances were cited where the management spearheaded dollars for Georgia and Mississippi for clerical help that could easily be obtained in Chicago at a high degree of efficiency. It is also charged that whenever the committee desired a man to speak, they found it necessary to send south in order to obtain this speaker, who in many instances was inferior to speakers who could have been secured in the city of Chicago and vicinity at much less expense. A case in point is cited where a man in Tennessee was notified to make a speech in East St. Louis, III., when it was known in advance that he could not possibly make train connections necessary to put him at the meeting in time. Speakers could easily have been sent from Chicago to this meeting. It is said that the Tennessee man arrived on the scene after the meeting was over, but he received his voucher just the same. One man from Ohio, editor of a prominent paper, said he could not understand the National Committee's point of view in selecting men from Southern states, who themselves were not capable of conducting a campaign, but who did not know the method of procedure incidental thereto. He asked how "voteless" men, who never voted, could tell what he were accustomed to doing how to vote. He asked if the colored vote went to Harding it would do so in spite of the mismanagement of his colored director. Loyal Adherents Ignored. It was stated several weeks ago by a man who claims to speak for the Johnson-Howard coterie, that no Illinois man who had been known as a Thompson man would be given any recognition, regardless of his ability, in the conduct of the campaign. It seems that so far this program has been religiously carried out. It is claimed that the management of the bureau has been so faithful in carrying out this program that whenever it became absolutely necessary to have a speaker on short notice, the officials themselves, leaving the routine business of the headquarters to take care of itself, took the trip and filled the engagement and never omitted to draw a check to their own order from the budget of the bureau. Another Editor's Views. Another prominent newspaper man in speaking of the situation said he was not surprised at the failure of the bureau to properly function, claiming that the men themselves at the head of it were political parasites, and closed his summary with this homely statement: "You cannot put a hungry bound to watch a meat-house." Budget Now Overdrawn. BUDGET NEW ORDER It is learned from reliable sources that the budget is now overdrawn, and that the bureau has been practically cut off by National Committee from financial support. It seems to be a mystery to many where this money has gone, and what benefit it has done the Republican party. It has been charged that fictitious checks have been drawn for speeches that were never made, and that the money has found its way into the pockets of the "big" men of the combination.

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 --- "NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL OI NOSEY FOUND out the joke on the popular little visitor who has been playing havoc with the hearts of the young men who have been dancing attendance upon her. It all happened because she was too game to take a dare. Nosey could not find out just what the dare was but it at least involved her taking off her shoes. In some manner these little shoes fell out of the window in an areaway that could not be reached. She was forced to go home at once glock in the morning without seeing dance the next night because she stubbed her toe on the bottom step at the house where she is stopping. The girl now has the reputation among the boys as being "game". Nosey is glad that it was only her shoes that fell from the window or else the boys would have been saving that she was "wild." ONLY THOSE who have music in their souls can appreciate the "affair" that holds the charming young Tennessee school teacher with herukele and the young Caruso from the East. She strums on her instrument and his voice sweetly blends with the strains from the strings, in the park, in an automobile, at the lake side on the front steps, in where that set of eyes dictates. She sees it and seems to have no fear yet, she does not know that though this summer's adventure may be sweet there may be a very unpleasant aftermath. She has no fear now, but if she is called next fall into the divorce court she will have to bring herukele all the way from Tennessee to show the judge how she played while Romeo sang. The movie title to this little drama is "A Mid-summer Madness." SOME PEOPLE have queer taste when it comes to footwear. Nosey was in the loop doing a little shopping in the big department stores when he saw a lady from the south side enter the store with some of those house shippers that look like Santa Claus' shoes. Those house boats with the fur trimming. Well, she only received passing glances from the other ladies, but an inquisitive little pup at the end of a chain took offense at he fur or perhaps thought it was a cat. The little dog made the fur fly for a minute much to the chime of the door she short skirt about her and withdrew hurling anathemas on the dog, the lady with the dog, and the world. Nosey smiled, went up and patted the dog on the head and thanked the dog for the lesson taught the "lady in boots." EVERY NOW and then a really funny thing happens that makes the meanest of us laugh. One of Chicago's prominent citizens was approached by a dark-knitted man who whispered that he knew where to get "some real stuff" at a very reasonable figure. The "wise guy" pricked up his ears and told him to bring it on. When it arrived all done up in tissue paper, seals and shining labels, the gentleman invited Nosey to sit in. The gent who brought it had been paid and had disappeared. When the seal was broken and the tissue paper removed the cork was pulled. Then the liquid was poured into glasses. Nosey toosed his off, but lo and behold there was no sting, no kick, no nothing except the taste of tea. An old trick but it worked because the salesman had taken the precaution when soliciting to give a real drink out of a real bottle of real stuff. In other words, when you are dealing in wet goods in the dark, do not let the salesman get away with the money until you have tasted his wares. YOU WILL HAVE to see it to believe it but it's true. The latest invention in carrying messages is the "clothes line." Nosey was watching the rear of "The Scandal House" on Wabash Ave. Friday night when he saw a pail moving through space. A creaking pulley told him that it was attached to the clothes line. As the pail went and came so often Nosey investigated. It turned out that a party was going on in the Scandal House and they had run out of liquid refreshments and were getting their supply from across the way, money accompanying the way,der,der,der makes the dumb wicket take a back seat to say nothing of those "live waiters" who just must have that "tip." If the bartender in the "Little Dram Apartment" has not got the line of communication patented he ought to do so at once as there are plenty of people who would willingly steal the idea.

Well, she was reduced several pounds the other night when she was compelled to remain in a closed closet while she waited for certain unwelcome parties to leave the apartment, where she was visiting. Oh, you must know that "party lung" who insists on giving a party upon he slightest pretext? Well, the po价价 thought that they would have to break up her last party on account of the noise made by some of the "gentlemen." I know you know that man whose head is so hard that he never has once so himself said that it could be cracked? Well, he will say it now because last Saturday night that same head was violently connected up with a flower pot. His lady love in her passionate manner did it in one of her ove scenes with him. It all comes from one trying to love an actress who plays strong parts. They will try that stage stuff on you in order to keep in practice. You must know, or at least be acquainted with, that beautiful visiting school teacher from the South who wears her hair over her ears? Well, she decided not to wear her hair that way any more. A young doctor proposed to her the other night and she did not hear him. The same doctor has since proposed to her friend, telling the friend that he wanted the other girl and asked her but that she did not answer him when he asked her to become his little wife. This might be a lesson to others who wear their hair over their ears. Oh, you must know that young professional man who resembles a pig in the face? Think a bit and you will recall him and also recall how much his actions resemble that same animal. Well, he was found wallowing in the muddy street last Saturday night in the rain. He claims that he fell from an automobile but Nosey declares that he fell from the front porch of that Wabash Roméo and Juliet House near his own residence. At least he is running true to form. I know you know about that "dawn party" that was given in "honor" of several of some of the summer visitors? Well, the party was all right but the hours were all wrong. Three wives have complained that their husbands could have found another means of entertainment. The visiting ladies are now on the "black list" of the social set and will be cut from now on. See what a little fun will do. In New Location Mrs. Anna Vinson has moved from 59th and Lailayette Ave., to 555 E 85th st., where she would like to see her many friends. William Crawford Hurt Wm.

"Rube" Foster is certainly making it possible for Schorling park fans to get the sort of run for their baseball money that cannot be surpassed or even tied these days. Hundreds left the park last Sunday boiling over with baseball enthusiasm, while those who passed up the great game, launched out into a frenzied state of mind when the news was broken. With the Detroit Stars showing here Sunday, the fans will be given another opening for lamping a great diamond night. No club measures up to the Detroit Stars, that is when thrown into the pit in clash with the Foster tribe. This series has been delayed, and now that the fanatics are well upon their toes, and screaming for some worthy foe to give us a real battle, no better time for bringing the great Michigan bear cats in could be offered. Big Bill Gatewood cleaned Foster's boys in all of his starts last year, and is said to be going like a cyclone right now. Holland has been particularly framed for this Chicago fight, and when right, we can think of no pitcher who has it on the Stars' ace. Detroit went right into the strong St. Louis fighting pit and came out three wins to the good out of five starts. Any fans who know of the success that our American Giants had at St. Louis, then Detroit go得 there with many regulars out of the game and on the injured list, and battling the Mound, City scrappers to a brush should at once sit back in his seat reassured that at last, the team that has the Foster crowd nailed is here and it would occasion no great surprise if the local dark champs are stopped dead right upon their own home grounds. The game Sunday is called promptly at three o'clock. Suburban baseball fans will be given a fine chance to lamp the work of the two great league teams, as they play over at Gary, Ind. Saturday every game right now, no matter where it is played, counts in the league. Suburban baseball fans at Gary will be just as hotly waged as any at Chicago, make sure of that. SQUARES DOWN ST. LOUISNINE IN CLOSE GAME, 4-2 SQUARES DOWN ST. LOUISNINE IN CLOSE GAME, 4-2 Meinke's single to left, scoring Joe Nagle from third in the seventh inning, broke a 2 to 2 tie and the Logan Squares beat the St Louis Giants of the Negro National league, 4 to 2 in a keenly fought twilight battle at Logan Square park Monday. The Logans got the jump in the first inning, rushing two runs across, but St Louis evened the count in the second. The Logans made the deciding run on Meinke's single and then added one more in the eighth, but they didn't need it. Blackburn hurled a steady game for the Squares, holding the Giants to six hits. Foreman, Weiss and Blackburn each made two hits. Score: Detroit's Formidable Left-hander WILBUR COOPER WILBUR COOPER "Lefty" Cooper can commandeer no more reassuring stamp of approval of his pitching prowess, than the fact that he sprouted in Texas soil. His early baseball days had him, at various times, an opponent upon the slab to Dave Brown. The two have never had a crack at each other in northern surroundings. Cooper, no doubt, within the next few days will be given the chance to make good his claim, that of besting the local Portsider. PITCHERS' BATTLE GOES STARS TAKE TIGHT GAME: TO BROWN. 1-0 SCORE 3 TO 1 Last Sunday's contest between the American Giants and St. Louis Giants, played at Schorling park, will occupy a place in the sun along side the many big athletic events that have been run off at the South-side arena. The affair chiefly centered in the battle for supremacy between Dave Brown of the Chicago club and Drake star hurler for the St. Louis Giants. Brown opened his day's work by ing Dudley, the first man to face him, a base on balls; the next man tanned, and Dud was caught off first in a double play, while Charleston proved an easy prey from the first inning on until the seventh, not more than three batters faced Brown in any one inning, and not a St. Louis batsman gleaned a hit. It was in the ninth trame, when Bennett, pinch hitting for Wallace, secured the first hit off the Brown offering; then Dudley pushed a safe one past short-field, making two in all off Brown. But three drives were rapped to the outfield off Brown and he breezed seven men. He gave two bases on balls and hit one batter. But one St. Louis man reached second base; that was McAdoo, who was hit, and he puffered second. Although heasted by a small margin by Brown, Pitcher Drake released a performance that ordinarily should fetch the bacon nine times out of ten. Drake retired the Fosters in one, two, three order for seven innings, with not more than three batters facing him in any one inning. In all that time but one man reached second base, and he was killed trying to reach third. Not a hit was secured off Drake until the seventh inning, and but three balls were rapped to outfield territory off the big heaver during the game. He fanned six and passed three batters. The game was lost to St. Louis in the eighth, when Torrentte, the first batter up in that inning, cracked a safe drive to left, was advanced to second on Dixon's push and out, Holtz to McAdoo. Torrey stole third, and with Gardener at bat, Torrey worked the St. Louis infield into the belief that he would try for a steal of home, or reach it on a squeeze, thereby pulling Wallace from short position over to covering third. With Wallace out of position, Gardener dropped one off his bat right into the shortstop territory, Torrentte scoring and Gardener reaching first. The feature play of the game was a one-hand stab by DeMoss of a line drive off Blackwell's bat. At the time McAdoo was stationed on second, and had the drive went through St. Louis would have scored, but as all this time the defense had the Americans scored in the eighth; had DeMoss not have pulled the miracle catch, the game would have went into the ninth inning deadlocked. There were four double plays in the game and two stolen bases. The score: --- indeer no more reassuring stamp rowness, than the fact that he early baseball days had him, at the slab to Dave Brown. The each other in northern surround- the next few days will be given claim, that of besting the local STARS TAKE TIGHT GAME; SCORE 3 TO 1 Force Pitches Detroiters to Victory Over Kansas City. DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 15.—Detroit won the third game of the series from Kansas City 3-1. Force pitched a good game, striking out 7 and walking only 1.

DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 14—Kansas City won Sunday's game at Mack park, defeating the Detroit Stars for the second time in two days, 6 to 2. Crawford, visiting pitcher, kept the Stars' hits scattered after the first inning, when they scored twice. Detroit had few chances to score after that. Holland was hit hard early. McNair hit a homer in the second inning, giving the Kayesys their first tally. A base on balls, a double and Riggin's error resulted in two more runs before the side was retired. Two hits and fast base running by Portuando, ex-Cuban star, added another run in the third, also two hits brought a run in the fourth and seventh frames. Rogan, the visitors' right fielder, robbed the Detroititers of at least three extra base hits.

LOUIS BEATEN, 8-3 CHICAGO, Aug. 13—Six pitches were employed in the game here Saturday in the first of the St. Louis-Chicago series. The visiting batsmen slammed the ball in a manner that looked like a win for a time. After Tom Williams and Streeter had shot at the enemy, and without effect, Torrentte went on the slab for the Foster team, and he stopped the heavy hitters among the visitors, dead in their tracks. For five and one-third innings, the St. Louis batsmen were helpless before the heaving of Torrentte, he retiring them in one, two, three order, allowing them but one hit and fanning five of them. The lone St. Louis rally came in the third when three hits, a hit batsman secured for them, three runs, the American grounded one run, the firing in two bats on balls and a triple by Torrentte. He hit for three sacks again in the fourth. The sixth, seventh and eighth witnessed the finish of the St. Louisians. In those rounds, the local pastimers grabbed seven hits and seven runs, and did their stunts in a manner to indicate that the St. Louis crowd was easy picking.

W TIVE 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. The Snake Shows Its Head. Ten thousand citizens of Chicago have been converted to the monks of the Ku Klux Klan and it is reported on good authority that a spectacular initiation was held on the outskirts of the city. The northern citizens are making a terrible mistake in linking up with this un-American institution and the real ideals of the Union are blasted and shattered when this force of evil is allowed to gain momentum. The Imperial Wizard attempts to vindicate the purpose of the organization in a full page advertisement in the Chicago Tribune; it is no doubt probable that the devil would attempt to vindicate himself if the Supreme Forces granted him voice. The Ku Klux cannot vindicate itself. The tradition attached to the very name itself would prevent its revival by those who respect the mandates laid down in the Constitution. The Ku Klux is a cowardly, sneaking creature which strikes under the cover of night, oppresses the weak and is afraid to let the world see its face. No one would believe that the state of Lovejoy and Lincoln would tolerate it but it has and the evil eyes of this poisonous reptile are seen peering at us. If it attempts to strike the law abiding citizens of Chicago no mercy should be shown. It should be stamped to death and crushed into a pulp.

Should some astute investigator take the notion to survey the activities of the black women of America some illuminating face would be brought to the surface and new difficulties and problem would present themselves. The women have been praised, panned and petted but criticism has been graciously and perhaps diplomatically withheld until circumstances and embarassments foresee the issue. Should some astute investigator take the notion to survey the activities of the black women of America some illuminating facts would be brought to the surface and new difficulties and problems would present themselves. The women have been praised, pampered and petted but criticism has been graciously and perhaps diplomatically withheld until circumstances and embarassments force the issue. It has been sweetly said that women, glorious creatures, feast not off of the bread of earth but from the manna of Heaven. This however is not entirely true, just to the contrary the black women of America are greedily snapping up the political crumbs. They line up at the back door of the "Republican kitchen" looking for handouts just as the gormandizing Henry Lincoln Johnson and Roscoe Simmons do. This condition obtains not only in national politics but in every state, county and town where their vote and influence is allowed. In Chicago, for instance, the political machine which has made the "black belt" a stronghold for vice and immorality, was supported by black women and even now many of the political Magdalenes hypocritically swear by crooked and corrupt politicians. No one is ignorant of how the women behaved themselves in the last presidential election. The campaign managers still hear the echo of their Siren shriek for money. No one overlooks the emotional tendencies of the weaker sex but sentimentality and emotionalism is a sex and not a race fault. The women of Evin and Palestine are engaged in a stalwart fight for the liberation of their people and emotion and sentiment does not pervert and corrupt their political activities. The dark skinned women have learned the game under the infernal tutelage of "Uncle Tom" leaders but they know that it is not righteous and the still, small voice of conscience creates a continual turmoil in their heaving breasts. The power of the black woman in America cannot be estimated. She unconsciously shapes the future of the next generation and it is she who must inspire the manhood of her kind to constructive action. For almost a quarter of a century the women have "federated themselves" and for almost a quarter of a century they have failed to function intelligently, but the times and manners are rapidly changing and the signs of unrest give a small degree of hope and encouragement. The moral standards of our women must be placed over and above the modern practices of political machines. The mothers of men must not be suffered and tolerated in pursuits which do not edify and advance the cause of their sons and daughters. Should the women of the black race decide to steady their minds and quell their emotions and at the same time turn deaf ears to fanatics and crooks many of the destructive agencies of the race would eventually die. The astute investigator mentioned above can find that the "fakirs and fanatics" are financed largely by ignorant women who are swayed by the moans and whimpers of the thieving exponents of the "black art" and witch craft. Should the women discourage the chase after the foolish phantoms of the night, should they refuse to allow their husbands, sweet-hearts and sons to offer up further sacrifices to the gods of pleasure, many dollars would be saved and the character of our youth would be established upon firmer foundations. As things now exist politics, fanatics and pleasure are corrupting our women and checkmating the efforts of those who would elevate the status of the race of black folk. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures, In the Hope of Correcting Errors and Evils. Mildly estimated over $7,000 was fleeced out of the black people by the Skin Game Vendors whom the Elks permitted to operate during their Carnival. It is claimed that a large sum of money was paid to local politicians by certain individuals involved. It is regretted that some of the ministers did not go to the Chief of Police and protest. The Chicago Whip is the only one who seemed to object to the holdup game. Only last summer the alleged scandal of the Henry Lincoln Johnson activities was exposed and it seems as yesterday when his Senegambian features could be seen gracing every prominent platform in Chicago. No one believed that the charges made against Mr. Johnson were true but the Senate refused to confirm his appointment to the position of recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia because of his handling of the Lowden slush fund. That $9,000 will keep bobbing up and like murder it will eventually out. It is a theme of constant worry to some of those who love their race to see them fattening those who hate and despise them. An owner of a Greek restaurant who is largely patronized by black people was heard to remark to one of his friends that he was making plenty of money because he served the cheapest of food, anything is good enough for a N—r. This man will flourish while his competitor will starve to death because his own ebony hued brothers will not patronize him. Strange people we are. One of our contemporaries as usual was satisfied with the half loaf. At Chicago's great Pageant of Progress the black people were represented only by an aggregation of Singers of Ante-bellum songs. While the singing was very good the exhibits of the other races were so elaborate that people would think that all the black people could do was to sing. The contemporary was very much pleased and boosted the poor showing of his race. Mr. Fitzmorris, chief of Chicago's police department, stated in commenting upon the vice situation in the Second ward, that if two or three Negroes with a little money got together a crap game was started. This, no doubt, is the chief of police's opinion of the Negro, and may explain why there has been such little success in catching thugs who bombed forty-two Negro homes while they slept. Why worry about the Negroes? They are only crap shooters who own about $20,000,000.00 worth of property in the city. Health Hints By Dr. Troy Smith In order to keep well, another essential is cleanliness. In this Article, I wish to speak of CLEANLINESS OF THE HOUSE. THE HOUSE Look over your own home to see are you a new breaker. If you are, be busy before the law does. It is safest to obey the law. PETER H. HARRIS Remember the law says you can be arrested and fined If you do not keep your yard and house clean. If you do not keep your garbage in a covered, metal can. If you do not put your ashes in a tight receptacle. If you put bedding, tubs, boxes, etc., on the fire escape. If you let too many people sleep in one room. If you beat rugs or carpets on porches. If you live in a cellar; that is in a room more than half below the street grade. If you prevent a properly identified representative of the Commissioner of Health from inspecting your house or premises. Sickness and Its Cause Sickness does not "JUST COMES. Most cases of sickness are due to disease germs. It is when your body is run down and weak, through over work or dissipation, that disease germs "get" you. Carriers of Disease Germs cannot walk, jump, crawl on fly. They must be carried to get you from a sick person. This occurs very readily when you come in contact with a person sick with a contagious disease. Some germs may come on dust, some on clothing. Some come in water, some in milk. Many are carried by vermin. Beware of bee bugs, lice, roaches, mosquitoes and flies. These are dangerous. If your neighbor does not keep his place clear and free from vermin, write the Department of Health. REPRIEVED THIRD TIME BALTIMORE. Md., Aug. 20—Henry A. Brown, who is under sentence of death for the murder of Miss Harriet A. Kavanaugh, white nurse at the Naval Academy at Annapolis has received a reprieve for the third time. A check of the evidence led Atty Gen. Daugherty to urge the president to grant the reprieve. THE CHICAGO WHIP IAL Legal Hints To Women By Violette N. Anderson Attorney-at-Law These are the days of the summer madness that poets rave of—when sweet nothings are whispered by married men—by engaged men—listened to by married women—engaged women and those who under other and ordinary circumstances would shrink from the very thought of such a procedure. As a result many things have happened—many things are going to happen. It behoves each girl and woman to re- 1950 member that a whole life may be spent in regret for a few moments of what is only midsummer madness; the frolic indulged in by the tired business or professional man may bring years of not only expense but regret. There is no reason to allow the freedom of the woods, and beauty of the rippling waters to bring a letting down of the bars that are the dividing lines between real men and women, and fools. The divorce courts are daily filled with cases that began on a summer vacation. I have a son in the penentiary whom the doctors say cannot recover; he is bed ridden with tuberculosis. Can I get him out to die at home? It is a long procedure and must be taken care of by a lawyer or should be. Can a man get a divorce from his wife for indiscreetness committed at a summer resort if he has no witnesses to it and there is only gossip to go on? No, he cannot get a divorce unless he has proof. Dear Madame; My wife and I were divorced eight months ago here in Illinois; she married last week in New York and came back here to live. I am engaged to a very fine girl. Can we marry now? Not legally. You will have to wait until the year is up if you want to live here. All legal questions cheerfully answered. Address the Whip, Legal Column, 3420 S. State Street.
