FRAME-UP DEFEATS WILLS PRICE 5 CENTS VOL. IV—No. 1 FRAM COLLEGE MEN AT HOME OF DOUGLASS Over 300 Delegates Attend Alpha Phi Alpha Convention BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 7.—No more inspiring occasion has occurred throughout the history of Negro college life than the record-breaking 14th Annual Convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity held during the days, December 27th to 31st, 1921, inclusive, at Baltimore, Maryland, to which over three hundred Negro college men from all parts of the United States came as representatives from 38 chapters of the Fraternity located at 60 of the largest colleges and universities in America. The inspiration of this epoch-making occasion was increased by the presence of the 100 or more college women who accompanied many of the members of the Fraternity to the Convention. From the opening day of the Convention, Tuesday, December 27th, the program of the Fraternity, filled with interesting and notable events, was followed through to its conclusion, Saturday, December 31, at 12 p. m., with a report of successful results for the year and a pledge to greater efforts in uplift and service as the new year was ushered in. 300 Delegates at Opening Session 300 Delegates at Opening Session The opening session of the Convention was held Tuesday afternoon at 2:20 o'clock, at its Baltimore headquarters, 1619 Druid Hill avenue, with over three hundred college men from the various colleges and universities throughout the United States in attendance, under the direction of its national officers: Simeon S. Booker, President, of Baltimore; Elmer J. Cheeks, Vice-President, of Cleveland; Norman L. McGhee, Secretary, of Washington; Dr. Homer Cooper, Treasurer, of Chicago, and Carl J. Murphy, Editor, of Baltimore. Among the colleges and universities represented at the Convention were: Cornell, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Howard University, Virginia Union University, University of Michigan, Chicago University, Syracuse University, Wilberforce University, University of Pittsburgh, Western Reserve, Ohio State University, University of Minnesota, Lincoln University, Temple University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Illinois, University of Kansas, Ohio University, Mehary Medical College, University of Pennsylvania, University of Cincinnati, Atlanta University, Moorhouse College, Talladega College, Brown University, University of Southern California and Northwestern University. Impressive Ceremonies at Douglass Home On the second day of the Convention, the full delegation made a pilgrimage to the home of Frederick Douglass in Anacostia, D. C. Arrangements had been made for special cars over the Pennsylvania lines to take the delegates to Washington, where they were met by a train of buses which conveyed them to the Douglass home to witness the ceremonies of the Fraternity in connection with its pilgrimage in honor of the great statesman, Frederick Douglass. Perhaps the most impressive ceremonies ever held by a group in honor of one of (Continued on page 3.) MITCHELL MADE D.C. MASNIC MASTER WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 — Jesse Mitchell was elected Grand Master of the Masons of the District of Columbia at the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge held here last week. He has been a Mason for 14 years, and has held many important offices in the fraternity. MARINES GUILTY OF SLAYING NIGARAGUANS MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan. 7.—The American marines who have been on trial before a naval tribunal composed of officers from the United States cruiser Galveston, in connection with a clash here with the Nicaraguan police, have been found guilty of the laying of three Nicaraguan police men. They have been sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment at hard labor. "A PAPER WITH A POLICY" The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY JIM CROW LAW UNENFORCIBLE, SAYS U. S. COURT WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—A case of vital importance to the colored people of the United States was decided Thursday by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia when Chief Justice Walter McCoy ruled that the jim-crow law of Maryland, which makes it a crime for colored passengers to ride in the same part of a railroad train or electric car as white passengers, was unconstitutional and void as applied to interstate colored passengers. The court further held that a so-called "regulation" promulgated by a railway company, segregating white and colored passengers, was unenforceable, and directed a jury or twelve white men to return a man in favor of two colored men who had been evicted from a car of the Washington, Baltimore, and Annapolis Railway Company because they had refused to occupy rear seats when directed to do so by the conductor. The evicted passengers were Frederick V. Brooks and William A. Waller, colored business men residing in Kenilworth, D. C. On August 6, 1917 they were evicted from electric car of the W. B. & A. at Best Gate, Md. As a result of the eviction from the train, Brooks and Waller were compelled to spend the night in a partly enclosed station of the railway at Best Gate, and the exposure caused them to become slightly ill. The jury, after half an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict against the railway company for $1,000, each plaintiff being awarded $500. Brooks and Waller were represented in the case by attorneys Jas. J. O'Leary and Raymond Neudecker, with offices in the Fendall Building, this city. Attorney-Robert J. Miller was also counsel for the plaintiff. From the date of the verdict the defendant has five days in which to make a motion for a new trial, and in the event that such motion is overruled, may appeal the case to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. In case the Court of Appeals affirms the lower court, the railway may then seek to carry the case to the United States Supreme Court. As the matter now stands, however, colored people riding from the District of Columbia to points in, or through, States having segregation laws, cannot be segregated under such State laws; and the same is true of interstate colored passengers coming into the District from points outside of Washington. Exposure Of Murder Farm Cruses Prison Reform In South ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 7—The system of prison reform which is sweeping throughout the entire west and eastern sections of the country is likewise being felt here in movements being advanced by various women's organizations and other philanthropic societies for the betterment of prisoners. The work is of a general nature and includes, among other things, the abolishment of the farming out of convicts to farmers throughout the entire South. It was from this system that the famous developments in the notorious Williams "murder-farm and peonage cases" became a reality. The Williams' case, in which 13 colored peons were found murdered; the bodies of some chained together in a muddy creek and others buried in shallow graves stirred the entire country, and led to the disclosures of the deplorable "prison system" which has enveloped the southern criminal for years. Williams was convicted and sentenced to life, while his three sons are even now fugitives of justice. The discoveries have, to a great extent, led to the increased activities which have marked the prison reform movement throughout the entire South, and which, in time, is bound to lead to a more modernized and educational form of prison life. EX-SOLDIER, OUT OF WORK, ASKS JAIL PITTSBURG, Pa., Jan. 7.—Arthur Newton, an ex-soldier appeared before a police magistrate here and made a unique appeal. He told the judge that he was out of employment and funds, and asked to "be sent somewhere." Evidently impressed by the ex-soldier's earnestness, the judge consented to allow him to spend three months in the house of correction. CHICAGO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922 MOBS BURNED WE MUST AID 9 MEN IN HAITI, SAYS YEAR 1921 McCORMICK Lynching Record For 1921 Two Less Than In Year 1920 The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public lynchings statistics for the year, 1921, showing that 63 persons had met their death at the hands of mobs, and of the victims, four were publicly burned to death, five being burned after death, in the United States. This is a decrease of two from the 65 lynchings of 1920. Two of the lynching victims in Mississippi and Georgia respectively, were women, and six of the men were white. Georgia and Mississippi head the list of states with 13 lynchings each, Texas and Arkansas follow with six lynchings each, Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina have five lynchings each, and North Carolina follows with four. All the lynchings of the year were in Southern States. In only 19 out of the 63 lynchings was assault upon a woman alleged as a motive in five cases the offense of the victim is unknown and among the causes for others of the lynchings are: Aiding escape of another (four lynched for this offense); writing note to a white woman; relative of a man lynched (two victims); shot by police in search for another man; shooting white man (four lynched); shooting at officer; murder (18 lynched). Black People Can Aid Haiti: REFUSAL TO ESCAPE MAY GAIN FREEDOM FOR ELAINE FARMERS LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 7. Freedom may be in store for the six Elaine riot prisoners who refused to make a dash for freedom when given an opportunity by Tom Slaughter, notorious bandit and gunman who made his escape several days ago. New efforts are being made for their liberation on account of their refusal to break jail. According to reports, Slaughter, who was being held under sentence of death, offered a special invitation to the six alleged rioters, who were the principal figures in the series of race riots which occurred during October, 1919. When, however, they refused to go, they were locked up with the remainder of the convicts. The six prisoners of the Elaine riots who refused to escape when offered their chance during the delivery by Slaughter have been under sentence of death since December, 1919. They have been saved up to the present time by extended legal action and their cases have been fought through every court to the Supreme Court of the United States, before which they are now to be heard. They were among the large number of men implicated in the Elaine riots in which many persons lost their lives when widespread disturbances over landlord and tenant problems occasioned physical clashes. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. —Considerable amusement has been aroused here by the protest made by Representative Ashwell, of Louisiana. The Southerner has made a protest against permitting Black men to eat in the restaurant of the House of Representatives. Urge Kansas Doctor As Minister To Haiti WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Kansas Republican leaders have recommended to President Harding the appointment of Dr. C. M. Moats, a physician of Fort Leavenworth, as next, United States minister to Haiti. The appointment was urged by Senator Curtis, Representative Tinchner, and David Mulvane. President Harding informed them that there was immediate prospect of naming a Haitian minister. American colored men and women can render a great service to people of their own race in Haiti, according to Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois, who has just returned from the Island Republic. Senator McCormick is chairman of the special committee of the United States Senate appointed to investigate conditions in Haiti and Santo Domingo incident to the American occupation. Although this Committee has not made its formal report as yet, it has made a preliminary report to the Secretary of State in which it urges that a very definite policy of friendship be adopted by the American Government; that American officials who are sent to Haiti be selected because of their fitness to meet the peculiar conditions in that country; that, particularly, a great deal of work must be done along the educational and agricultural, as well as financial lines. One of the essentials for effective work in Haiti is a knowledge of French which is the language of the land. The language of Creole is also helpful, but the knowledge of French is of paramount importance. Senator McCormick speaks French fluently, and his colleagues on the Senate Committee have remarked that it was largely due to his ability not only to speak French but to understand French as spoken by the native Haitians, thus the work of the Committee was made much easier than they expected. In part, referring to the work which the American colored man may do for his brother in Haiti, Senator McCormick's report says: "Here missionary enterprise altogether apart from religious teaching, can render a great social service. Here, too, the American colored man, trained at Hampton or Tuskegee (like the trained colored lawyer in the reform of Haitian justice), can render a great service to the men of his own race. The field of industrial and agricultural education is virgin. There is everything to do. Tools, seed, sires, and special teachers all must be brought to the country. "It is obvious, I think, Mr. Secretary, that such a general policy as many of us who have visited Haiti for study are agreed upon, can only succeed in the measure that competent men are wisely chosen to carry it out. As much as we must deplore the instances of illegal or otherwise outrageous acts committed by individuals in the forces of the occupation of Haiti or Santa Domingo those acts were isolated and rare, and several of the guilty individuals have demonstrated by their suicide or confinement to asylums, that they were irresponsible. The Government of the United States is, I think, consurable, because it has developed no policy and because it has in some instances chosen or has permitted to be chosen as its representatives in Haiti men who were not qualified for their work, or who were unsympathetic with the Haitian people in sharp contrast to others who have proved sympathetic and capable." The Senate Committee will resume its hearings within the next ten days, upon Senator McCormick's return to Washington from Chicago, where he has been called on official business. It is hoped by the Committee that the hearings may be concluded by the fore part of February and final report made to the Senate at that time. MANNS' CREDITORS TO GET 8% PAYMENT Probation officials in charge of collections for creditors of Eugene F. Manns have announced that a payment of 8 per cent will be made to all creditors who appear with receipts at Room 1128, County Building. Manns found himself unable to deliver apartments to prospective tenants after accepting deposits for them. He was given one year to return the money. Blanche M. Miller, probation officer, announces that Mann's debts amounted to $8,000, and so far $600 has been collected. $15,000 THEFT KANSAS CITY, Jan. 7.—Four men entered the Kansas City Loan Co., 1319 East 18th Street, and held up the two occupants and robbed the place of money, diamonds, and jewelry. Loss is said to have amounted to $15,000. EIGHT PAGES FRAMED THE BATTLE FOR THE WIN M Bullets Rout Dancers At Al Tearney's The first serious disorder to occur in a South Side cabaret since the inauguration of Chief Fitzmorris' booze war took place in Al Tearney's jim crow jazz palace, 35th St. and Calumet Ave. Monday night. A moonshine crazed white man invaded the dance floor and shot a dancer without provocation. Throughout the holidays South Side cabarets have been particularly free from police interference. Little or no disorder has occurred, and there have been few complaints. Al Tearney's cabaret, known throughout the district for its jim crow policies, has catered only to white trade because of the implication that mixed trade would create disorder. Charles Strauss, white, 1601 Spaulding Ave., was shot through the cheek by Frank Ray, also white, of New York. Ray was drunk. He said he thought Strauss was making faces at him. This makes the third shooting at Al Tearney's recently. The other two were fatal. A policeman in front of the cafe shot and killed a patron who attempted to prevent the policeman's beating a woman. Some time later a waiter was mysteriously killed, the evidence concealed, and the slayer exonerated. STRIKE LEADER IS JAILED IN K. G. KANSAS CITY, Jan. 7.—George W.

The messenger sought shelter behind a tree and the two exchanged several shots. Chicago's Most Popular and Widely Read Weekly ```markdown ``` PRICE FIVE CENTS CROWD JEERS AT DECISION OF REFEREE Attempt Is Seen To Prevent Match Between Wills and Dempsey PORTLAND, ORE., Jan. 2—One of the rawest frame-ups in ring history has probably robbed Harry Wills of any chance ever to meet Jack Dempsey for the heavyweight championship of the world. With still ten seconds to go in the first round of a scheduled ten-round fight, "Big" Bill Tate, of Chicago, was declared winner over Harry Wills after Wills had knocked him out with a clean right hook to the jaw. 5.000 See Fiasco Fully 5,000 people jammed into the Milwaukee arena to see the two men decide who would battle Dempsey for heavyweight honors. For fully thirty minutes after it had been announced that Wills had lost the fight on a foul, the crowd was non-plussed, and refused to leave the arena, having seen nothing to indicate a foul. When it finally became clear that the fight was over, and the truth began to dawn upon the thousands of fans gathered at the ringside, a mighty howl went up, and the big crowd was in an ugly mood. Men and women were up on chairs, tables and boxes, calling Tate a coward, and booing the officials. Really Was Elimination Fight It had been announced prior to the fight that it was to be an elimination bout, and that one or the other of the two would be definitely eliminated as a championship contender. It now appears that this was the literal truth, and that Harry Wills was the man scheduled to be eliminated. It has leaked out in boxing circles that the affair was carefully framed before the fighters entered the ring. The writer is reliably informed that it was planned to let the fight go at least eight rounds. At the end of eight rounds Tate was to be declared winner on a technical foul. Thus Harry Wills was to be eliminated from the field, and Dempsey was to be relieved of embarrassment. If Wills could not whip Tate, the public could no longer demand that Dempsey fight him. Dope Goes Wrong Close followers of the fighting game knew that Tate did not have a ghost of a chance to defeat Wills, but it never occurred to participants that Wills would attempt to knock Tate out in the first round. When the knockout blow came, however, fearing that Tate would not revive in ten seconds and continue the fight, the officials called the foul, determined not to be outdone. Terrific Blow Fells Tate Terrine Blow Fells Tate Wills leaped at Tate like lightning and struck him a clean blow to the jaw. Tate fell like a brick wall. His legs flew from under him, and his shoulders hit the mat first. Referee Tate Loutt and Kid Howard. Tate's manager, kicked him up and carried him to his corner. Loutt then raised Tate's right hand, a sign of victory. Tate and Howard then left the ring and started for their dressing rooms. Wills was sitting in his corner with a puzzled expression on his corner with a puzzled expression on his face, wondering what was going on. Even the announcer failed to get the drift when he entered the ring and shouted that Wills was ready to go on with the fight. In the meantime the crowd was in a hubbub, demanding an explanation of what was going on. Realizing their predicament, the officials began a canvass among themselves as to who would make the announcement of the supposed foul. Nobody had nerve to face the crowd, which finally drifted out of the arena. Louitt Makes Statement After the fight Referee Louit told a group of newspaper men that he had called a foul on Wills because he hit Tate when coming out of a clinch. He said he had warned both men not to fight in the clinch, and that at the time of the blow the fighters were in clinch, only breaking after he had ordered them three times. Just as they broke, he says, Wills shot the right to Tate's jaw. Louit's version, however, is at variance with the opinion of all who saw the fight to whom the writer has talked. there had been clinching during the round, but when Wills delivered the fatal blow, it is the consensus of opinion that he hit leaping toward him, and not breaking from him, as he would have had to do he had hit him in a clinch. Wills Still in Dark In a conversation with Wills after he had gone to his dressing room and donned street togs, he said he still was unable to explain the trend of affairs. He said he had no idea why the fight was stopped, and was as much surprised as the crowd when the referee held up Tate's arm as a sign of victory. In the meantime the receipts are being held pending a review of the affair by the boxing commission. GEORGIA FARMER CHASES ESCAPED PEON INTO TENN The Dixie Flyer PRICE BULLETIN 2 PAYS BOY'S FINE, MAKES SLAVE OF HIM Boy Pleads to U. S. Officials to Save Him from Slavery CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Jan. 7.—A story of peonage in Georgia was unfolded here last week when Emerson Johnson appealed to the United States District Attorney to prevent his being aken back to Rutledge, Ga., under what the district attorney claims to be peonage conditions. Johnson, who is less than 20 years of age, appeared in the office of Mr. Redwine with a story that soon convinced the attorney that he was the victim of peonage practices by a man known as "Pone" Herron, at Rutledge, Ga. The youth told of how he had worked for Herron for two years and had never received one cent compensation. He said that in all this time the only things he had received from his boss were two pairs of overalls and what food he ate. Service of the youth was secured in the usual manner in such cases. Heron, the boy says found him in trouble with the Georgia authorities and paid a fine of $50 which had been assessed against him. He took him and put him to work on his farm near Rutledge and kept him there for what the boy says was more than two years. He states that he was forced to work from 4 in the morning to 7 at night. Finally, the youth said, he had asked his "boss" for some money, thinking, he declared the time had come when he should have had his $50 fine worked out. The farmer declined to pay him anything and the youth ran away and went to an adjoining town. Here he worked for several weeks until he got into a difficulty with another man. The other man assaulted him with a weapon and in order to protect himself Johnson says that he shot his assailant in the shoulder to disable him. He left there and came to Chattanooga where he has been at work for several weeks.

KEAN Calumet 250 Third Ward Republicans Endorse Marshall For Legislature Third Ward Republicans Endorse Marshall For Legislature At a meeting of the William Hale Thompson Third Ward Republican Organization last Thursday, Atty. Eugene J. Marshall was endorsed for the state legislature. The following is the resolution: THE THIRD WARD WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON REPUBLICAN CLUB Whereas, in the redistricting of the City of Chicago into fifty wards, under the fifty ward plan, forty-five or more precincts of the Third Senatorial District are within the limits and bounds of the ward known and designated as the Thrid Ward; and Whereas, the Third Senatorial District has two Republican representatives in the General Assembly of the State of Illinois and that the Republican voters of that part of the Third Ward lying within the Third Senatorial district are entitled to, by virtue of their numerical strength and their loy- thorities or by Herron about the youth's absence from Georgia until Johnson had visited Mr. Redwine and related his story. The attorney wrote a letter to Herron, acquainting him with what the boy had told him, and demanding that he at once be paid a sum of money which would equal $20 a month for the time the boy had worked for him, deducting the amount of the fine and the amount paid for the overalls. No reply was made to his letter. Instead, a few days after that, Mr. Redwine was visited by a private detective who said that he was seeking Johnson on a charge of shooting, and that he would return him to Georgia for prosecution. Mr. Redwine refused to give up Johnson or to tell his whereabouts to the detective. Knowing however, that the detective would sooner or later locate the youth and take him back to Georgia Mr. Redwine began an effort to secure protection for him. Peonage being a federal offense, he took up the case with District Attorney Taylor, with the result that some action is expected to be forthcoming at an early date. In the event the district attorney is powerless to keep Johnson in this state for the present, it is expected that Mr. Redwine will resist extradition through the state courts.

Michigan Avenue BRINGS $10,000 SUIT FOR ATTACK BY OFFIGIAL BANK NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 7.—Edwin Hinds, law clerk in the offices of Messrs. Marshall, Garrett and Wheats, on 2295 Seventh Avenue, filed suit recently against the Chelsea Exchange Bank of Harlem for $10,000 damages for false arrest and assault. Mr Hinds, who was formerly of Jamaica B. W. I., states that he went into the bank for the purpose of obtaining a check book at the request of Lawyer J. Frank Wheaton. He states that a misunderstanding occurred between him and Special Officer Bush as to which department he should go. From words that followed the officer struck him, pushed him out of the bank and placed him under arrest. At the Thirty-eighth Precinct Mr Hinds states that a complaint was made charging him with disorderly conduct and threats. In the afternoon in the Heights Court he was paroled until Friday morning in the custody of his counsel, Captain Napoleon B. Marshall. Friday, before Magistrate Simons, he was discharged. Officer Bush's Statement Special Officer Bush, in explaining the encounter with Mr. Hinds stated that he acted entirely in self-defense. Mr. Hinds, he said, mistook Manager Rapp, who entered the bank, for another whom he thought the officer was allowing to enter ahead of him because he was white. Hinds, the officer says, became abusive and after making several uncalled-for remarks, acted rather suspiciously, so he struck him and placed him under arrest. When the case was called for trial the states he was requested to modify the charges, the result was that Hinds was discharged. Reputable citizens of the neighborhood, who frequent the bank, and many of them of other places where Officer Bush has been employed, speak in complimentary terms of him. Many of those who have heard of the assult state that he does not under ordinary circumstances lose his temper. Taxicab Bandit A Mystery To Southerners SHREVEPORT, La., Jan. 7.—Citizens of Shreveport not acquainted with modern methods of banditry are mystified at the actions of Frank Jackson, who appeared at the offices of the "73 Taxi Co," and asked to be taken to Mooringsport, several miles away, where he said his mother was dying. He said that he had no money, but promised that he would get the money and pay when he arrived at Mooringsport, or would give the chauffeur his watch in lieu of his fare. The taxi company finally agreed to Jackson's terms. After they had gone about nine miles Jackson thrust a revolver against the chauffeur's head and ordered him to stop the car, then jumped out as the car came to a standstill and ran away through the woods. Woman Wins Fight For Body Of Husband NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 7-Although she was separated from her husband, Alfred Hall, who died Wednesday, Mrs. Sylvani Hall, 1432 St. Philip Street, Thursday claimed the right to her husband's body and obtained it through an injunction in Civil District Court.

Her request was granted by Judge Wynne Rogers. Cobbler's Jail Shop Crowded for Once GREENWOOD, S. C, Jan. 7- Greenwood has heretefore had such little use for jails that the brick cal- boose has been rented to Dennis Wili- iams, a shoemaker. It has been a source of pride to the city that Willi- nam's shoe shop jail has not harbored a prisoner for years. But Christmas brought a turning point. The city was filled with Christmas cheer and Christmas spirits. Monday morning found the jails full. Williams was forced to move his boots and shoes outside and take a holiday until the judge cleared the calendar.

RUTTENBURG 3534 South We are selling out all Gentle Half Sale Begins Ja --- Wife's Head Cut, Man Says He Is "Loving Hubby" NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. 7.—Johnnie Robertson, dressed in the height of style, walked into court, smiled broadly, and addressed Judge Humphries last week. "Judge, I love my wife and child—" "Judge, I asks you, does this look like he loves me?" interrupted a woman who was trailing in the wake of Johnnie, while she drew her hat aside and displayed a wound which appeared to be several inches long, made apparently by an ax. "Indeed, a most preculiar form of affection," remarked Judge Humphries. "Suppose we delve further into the case," he said to the clerk. Robertson, it developed, was before the court on charges of not paying alimony to his wife as ordered by the court. He admitted his wife had been hurt by an ax while it happened to be in his hands, but protested his affection and asserted it was an accident. He declared his wife attacked him with the ax and during his efforts to prevent injury to himself, she fell against the ax and cut her head. After Robertson was admonished that he must curb his feelings and pay his alimony promptly or go to the Parish Prison, he was released by the court.

St. Matthew's Zion Church "Down in a green and shady bed A modest violet greew the big # gest surprises at times, come from the most unpretentious places. So it was with persons who had the good fortune to visit the entertainment at St. Matthew's Zion Church on 40th Street, between Wahash and Michigan Avenue, last Monday evening. No one would have guessed that a program of twenty-four good numbers, including the solos by Miss Geneva Jones (piano), Mrs. Storkey (soprano), Mrs. Carrie Simpson (soprano) and the really big feature the solo by Mrs. Bessie Wyatt, accompanied by Mrs. Pelagie Blair, directress of St. Monica's Choir, would have been presented to such success. Mrs. Blair is one of the senior accompanist of Chicago. The good choir of St. Matthesws was a pleasant surprise. Mrs. Jessie Clayton was mistress of ceremonies. The pastor, Rev. G. W.

Hd—Third Ward Republican Organization Endorses Atty. Eugene J. Marshall for Legislature) BEREAN BAPTIST CHURCH 52nd and Dearborn Streets Rev W. S. Bradden Pastor Sunday was a big day at Berean Baptist Church. The intensive sermon by the pastor was felt deeply by the audience. He treated, comprehensively, the nature and disposition of weaklings versus the recognized standard of the strong-hearted and righteously brave. The perioration of the sermon was about the trial and condemnation of Our Lord and Saviour. Strongly dwelt the preacher upon the indecisive and cowardly demeanor of the pagan judge, Pontius Pilate, "when he so cowardly and falteringly wavered in what he must have known to have been his plain duty." If Reverend Bradden is anything at all in the pulpit, he is a convincing and instructive scholar as well as a strong personification of the fearless pulpit orator of this age. That is why his church is crowded each Sunday. Many accessions were received. Big Musical next Sunday evening by the choir. Metropolitan Community Center The great sermon delivered by the pastor of M. C. Church, Sunday morning, was a distinct feature in the modern pulpit work being advanced by Chicago ministers.

Brockett, too, is very active in his association with the pastor. Next Sunday morning will be a special sermon. All invited. DESERTED LOVER ENDS MISERY IN TRIPLE TRAGEDY THE MADAM C. J. WALKER MFG.

DESERTE KILLS GIRL AND RIVAL, ENDS OWN LIFE PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7—Three persons, two men and one woman, are dead as the result of a shooting affray which took place Thursday afternoon on South Street between Broad and Fifteenth Streets. Asa Jones, 31 years old, of No. 1100 South Chadwick Street, shot and instantly killed Harrison Spearman, 29 years old, of No. 2014 Fitzwater Street, fatally wounded pretty Margaret Barclay, 21 years old, of No. 920 South Twenty-First Street, and then committed suicide. The girl died two hours later at the Polyclinic Hospital, where all three were taken in passing automobiles at the time of the tragedy. According to the police of the Nineteenth district, Jones had previously threatened the life of Spearman on several occasions. On Wednesday evening they met before the laundry in South Philadelphia, where the Barclay girl was employed, and Jones told Harrison: "I'll get you yet." Thursday afternoon, shortly before I o'clock. Spearman and the girl were standing before a shoe store, at No. 1432 South Street, engaged in conversation, when Jones approached. Spearman attempted to draw a black-jack from his pocket when he saw the enraged man who shouted, "Now I've got you!" Drawing a revolver Jones fired, the bullet entering Spearman's head and killing him instantly. As the girl attempted to seek shelter within the store Jones pursued her and fired a second shot. The bullet entered her neck at the base of the brain and as she fell to the street Jones placed the revolver against his right temple and pulled the trigger for the third time, killing himself instantly. In Jones' pocket at the hospital was found a letter addressed to Spearman, in which he declared that he had intended to kill him on Wednesday, but that he didn't consider it worth while to spend Christmas in jail for a man of Spearman's type. Detectives Moriarity, Kern and Crailey of the Nineteenth district attempted to get a statement from the dying girl at the hospital, but she did not recover consciousness.

The simple program began with the singing of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," and remarks by Oscar C. Brown, the President of the Beta Chapter of the Fraternity, followed by a word of welcome by Mrs. Leila Pendleton, representing the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, acting as hostess upon the occasion. The main feature of the program was the address of Dean George William Cook, a personal friend of the late Frederick Douglass, whose fine tribute in the words "God made a gift to man in the Douglass person. Born for no meaner purpose than would challenge the gratitude of the world and make for itself a monument in the hearts of an appreciative race," touched the hearts of the assemblage. "Our Pilgrimage" as pictured by the National President of the Fraternity, Simeon S. Booker, in words which bespoke a depth of sincerity as he proclaimed to the world our answer, "Douglass, we are here," to take up the task where Douglass left off. A minute silent tribute was paid to Frederick Douglass, after which presentation was made of the certificate read by the National Secretary, Norman L. MeGhee, and placed in the hands of Mrs. Leila Pendleton by George B. Kelley, one of the founders of the Fraternity. The inscription upon the certificate was: "Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity in Session at its 14th Annual Convention at the Scat of Delta Learn the Madam C. J.

The ceremonies ended with the singing of "Faith of Our Fathers."

The white troopers hearing of the General's request evidently resented it, because none were in line and the chesty colored regiment had the honor all to themselves. Consequently, friends of the fighting black troops have asked "what is the matter with the white legionaries anyhow, in their relationship to their Afro-American brothers?" They contend that the French are not only brave soldiers, but very broad and generous. The final session of the Fraternity began Saturday morning, at which time action was taken looking to the continuance of the "Go to High School, Go to College" movement conducted by the Fraternity during the past two years, and which has evinced the interest and approval of the President of the United States, and received editorial praise from a number of white and colored papers throughout the country, a special editorial having appeared in the Chicago Defender in its Memorial Day issue May, 1921. Constructive plans were outlined with reference to the conduct of the Fraternity's program for the year 1922. At the end of the session the following officers were elected: Simeon S.

Egypt Offers Trade Field For U. S. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7.—With direct steamship service between United States and Egypt established, after British shippers have had a monopoly on it for more than a quarter of a century, there will be a marked improvement in trade between Egypt and this country in the next few years. This is the prediction of Lester Maynard. United States consul at Alexandria, who yesterday visited the foreign trade bureau of the chamber of commerce, in an effort to help Philadelphia merchants. Egyptian Cotton Fine Egyptian cotton is the finest in the world. British shipiers held complete sway of the shipment of this cotton. In 1920 the United States shipping board began its effort to get a part in this trade. The services of Mr. Maynard were loaned to the shipping board by the government and he conducted negotiations with Egyptian exporters with the result that the first American vessel is now loading a cargo of cotton at Alexandria, and another is being loaded with Egyptian cotton at Liverpool. This country is now entitled to 50 per cent of the transport shipments. "The United States is a heavy buyer from Egypt," said Mr. Maynard, "and Egypt is a heavy buyer from the United States. The balance of trade favors United States and with a direct steamship service that trade will be greatly improved. "In the past our ships have gone to Egypt with exports and come back empty. To make up the cost of such profitless trips it was necessary for the shippers to charge more on outward treight. The establishment of direct steamship service means for the United States ships a half million dollars a year in shipping rates alone, and a still wider significance is attached to the opening up of new avenues of trade. Imports Are Heavy "Philadelphia is widely interested in cotton piece goods. In a year Egypt imports $100,000,000 worth of this product alone, exclusive of other textiles. Up until now the United States has sold to Egypt about $25,000 worth of this material a year. The new regulations have opened a way to enter this market and some New England men are now working toward that end Morning Cabaret New Feature At Dreamland The Dreamland Cafe was without doubt the headquarters for holiday attractions and center of interest during Christmas and New Year's week. Thousands of holiday merrymakers crowded the place night after night and room was at a premium the entire week. Those who were wise enough to make reservations New Year's eve saw the old year die out to the accompaniment of one of the most delightful entertainments ever seen on the South Side. In addition to the wonderful work of the entertainers and the beautiful music of Dreamland Orchestra, everybody was there, and everybody was happy. Something new was pulled off Monday morning when a "morning cabaret" was installed. The cafe was closed at the usual time Sunday night, but at 5:00 a. m. Monday morning 300 people were on hand to resume festivities. They danced until nearly 10 o'clock. The overflow of those who could not attend during the holidays continued through the week, the house being crowded Monday and Tuesday night. Messrs. Bottoms, McFarland and Williams were on hand at all times to extend the season's greetings. The Thursday afternoon matinees continue to grow in popularity. Soldiers Hung As Buddies Stood At Attention WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. — Two American soldiers were hanged at St. Nazaire while their comrades were compelled to stand at attention, according to a telegram received Friday by Senator "Tom" Watson of Georgia in connection with his charges that "Yanks" were killed illegally in France. The telegram was from L. C. Mason of Davenport, Iowa. "I have examined the record of eleven hangings furnished by Col. Walt 7-A-25386-WHIP 1-3 Bartter A. Bethel, formerly of Pershing's staff, and I find no record of any hangings at St. Nazaire," said Senator Watson Friday. Wires Information "Answering your wire, I was in Camp St. Nzaire, France. The two colored soldiers that were hung were executed in the morning. We were made to stand at attention while they were being hung, regardless of color. I don't think they had a fair trial if they had any trial at all. I would have to see you personally regarding the case." Watson has asked that Mason be called as a witness. Watson also received a letter Friday tending to support charges made by Henry L. Scott of Kennemore, Ohio, and others, that "Major Opie," identified as Lieut. Col. Henry L. Opie of Staunton, Va., shot a sergeant and a runner. The letter is from Levi P. B., of Purcellville, Va., former private of Company I, One Hundred and Sixteenth Infantry, Twenty-Ninth Division. Bell, who is a traveling man, wrote: "In reference to inclosed clippings, will say that Mr. Henry L. Scott has absolutely told the truth about 'Major Opie.' I, with several others, saw the same thing he did, but were not in position to say anything, for we would have have the same thing he did." Promises More "I will send you a few notes of some happenings I witnessed when I return from my next trip." Watson also announced Friday that he would ask a thorough investigation of a telegram he received Thursday charging that three men were murdered at Camp Merritt, N. J., "by Sergeant Stanley, Sergeant Mahan and Sergeant Smith." The charge was made in a telegram from Bruce Bennear of Elk Garden, W. Va., whom Watson has asked to have summoned as a witness.

THE BALLET "Everywoman" Wins Chicago, and Mrs. Mary Ross Dorsey Will Be Always Welcome. "EVERYWOMAN" "EVERYWOMAN" BY Amongthose Present "EVERYWOMAN," the old classic allegory of woman and her three rags, the woman of the world, BEAUTY and MODESTY, who leave the old earth to go in search of love, had its second performance at the Avenue Theater New Year's night at the response of a popular demand. The house was filled to capacity, and the boxes resplendent with the cream and elect of the smarter set. The play began after the regular vaudeville performance, which put the curtain rise close to midnight. It is to be hoped, for the sake of many future producers who may think of it, that this will not be attempted again, for despite the talk of big city late hours, the overwhelming majority of those present were restless and weary during the long drawn-out stretch of time. But that is the only adverse criticism that could be named, and one that the promoters, under the circumstances, could not avoid. For the cast—it was admirably selected, well costumed and splendidly rehearsed. In instances, they reached the plain where the reviewer even hesitated to use, the word amateur. Indeed Amongthose Present, in his varied meandering among the footlights of the Rialto, has rarely seen a pony chorus with more exuberance and freshness and finished artistry than that of the twelve little elves who cavorted so merrily in the second act under the managerial brusqueness of Messrs Bluff and Stuff. In the title role of EVERY WOMAN, Mrs. Mary Ross Dorsy lived up to her already established reputation for dramatic interpretation. But this was no surprise, of course for she is a product of long training in her chosen line. But aside from this there were several genuine and refreshing surprises. Mr. Leonard Speed, as "Wealth", gave a fine touch of callous cynicism to the part; Mr. Chas A. Wilson, as "Bluff", the stage manager, was splendid in his admixture of wit and bluster, while Dr. Merril Curtis, as "Nobody", gave a presentation so fraught with sympathy and fine dramatic rendition as to make it superbly professional. It is hard to pick from among the ladies one who might take individual honors, for each did her part with that enfluence that only youth can give. Youth, Beauty and Modesty, the three companions of Everywoman—Miss Dorothy Cadozoe, Miss Gladys A Milwaukee News Mr. Luther Thornton an auto mechanic, after a brief visit among friends in this city, returned to his home in Washington, D. C. Miss Mildred Simmons of Chicago is in the city visiting her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Reeves, of Eighth St., for the holidays. Miss Lucille Jones has returned to the city after a brief visit to her relatives in Baraboo, Wis., for Xmas. Mr. Hyte Smith and Frank Ryan spent New Year's day in Milwaukee, visiting Miss Cecelia Phillips and Mr. Albert Williams. The K. P. Ball held Friday Eve, Dec. 29, at the Freie Geminide hall, was a tremendous success. Music was furnished by Harry Wynn and his Sincopaters, known as the Metropole Jazz Band, featuring Miss Phillips at the piano. Later in the evening a few numbers were rendered by John H. Wickliffes' Ginger Band, with *Everett (Happy) Robbins at the piano. The Richardson-Hare recital given at the St. Marks A. M. E. church was a success. Miss Clara Evans of Indianapolis, Ind., spent the holidays in Milwaukee visiting her mother. Mrs. Elmira Scott of Chicago is spending several days in the city on business. and Miss Minnie A. McDowell, respectively—formed a three-ply golden chain running throughout the play and undoubtedly these young girls will be much in demand for future mauteer productions. Miss Dorothy Shoelcraft, as a diminutive dansueuse, has much promise. Miss McDowell, the sister of Minnie, who played "Modesty," played "Vice" with charming personality. Mrs. Roberty D. Crawford, who took the singing role of "Conscience," is a new prima donna and gave sweet rendition to her part. There was another dance number by a slender, little Miss, who dressed as a boy, but whose name at this moment is unavailable, and to her goes as much honorable mention as to any other. But the outstanding feature of the evening was the "arrival" of Misses Marion Harrison and Dorothy Cadozoe—for friends they have ARRIVED! They both have that impalpable something that reaches out across the footlights and sways you to sympathy—the thing which makes stars. They have personality and magnatism. After New Year's evening performance, Miss Harrison may be assured that her talent, which is a heritage from her mother, who is a fine musician, and from her father, who is a dramatic recitalist, has not been misdirected; gracile of lines, deft of movement, sure of her power before an audience, she gave a chorus dance with able Miss Sheocharc, and later an Orinetal number alone—both of which brought curtain calls after curtain calls until the principals begged to be excused from exhaustion. As for Miss Dorotty Cadoozoe, with application and training, she may be mistress of what she surveys. Fitted with a difficult role—second only to Everywoman in its demands—a role that many a more mature actress would have mangled, and ruined with over dramatics, this child (for she must be dreadfully young for so exacting a part) stepped out and played it with sympathy and warmth and fragrance. Moreover she played it with expression. She knew the rare use of a modulated voice, of a slight gesture; where she might have gestilated too wildly (and spoiled it) she would often just tilt a hand or even spread the fingers to get the effect. Dramatic repression to gain dramatic power! An art in itself. A rare gift. A sure mark of talent. More power to her. The End Mrs. Nancy Washington, of Eleventh St. is on the sick list. Mrs. Mamie Saunders, wife of Vincent Saunders, of Chicago, is in the city spending the holidays visiting Mr. and Mrs. Burgette. Dr. and Mrs. F. B.

Wa pledge ourselves unalterably to the support of the plan advocated by Mayor William Hale Thompson for People's wankee Tuesday afternoon after spending the holidays in Chicago.

Pretty that are at H THE pretty vogue for artificial flowers, as decorations for the home, seems to have come to stay. The shops are showing them in many varieties and often remarkably true to life, made by those who have become expert in manufacturing millinery flowers. These same blossoms, varnished and stiffened with clear shellac, have the appearance of conventional "china" flowers, and they are immensely admired. But neither of these varieties exceeds in beauty those made at home of crepe paper—especially the well-loved garden flowers—as roses, poppies, hollyhocks, cosmos, chrysanthemums, that turn out most successfully in crepe paper. They are used just as natural flowers are, in vases or baskets. Sometimes these receptacles are made at home also, of paper rope. Two sprays of hollyhocks and a cluster of cosmos blossoms have been selected for illustration because they are startlingly lifelike. It is an old established custom to use baskets or plates of artificial fruits as a finishing touch to the furnishings of the dining or living room, and marvelous reproductions of them are offered in the stores. They are usually somewhat expensive imports. A few of these fruits can be made at home also, of such everyday, commonplace materials as cotton and sealing wax. These fruits have cotton balls as foundation attached to short pieces of TIGHT WINDOWS SAVE COAL BILL (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) Stopping up cracks around doors and windows is an important factor in cutting down the coal bill and keeping the rooms comfortable, according to Farmers' Bulletin 1194, Operating a Home Heating Plant, published by the United States Department of Agriculture. More fuel invariably is consumed in a house with loosely fitted windows then in one where the cracks are protected. In the windward rooms of some houses on particularly cold, windy days the leakage about window and door framing will be so great that the rooms can not be heated to a comfortable temperature, even by forcing the furnace to its limit. Small Cracks Let In Much Air. Small Cracks In Much Air. Tight-fitting windows, says the bulletin, are essential if leakage losses are to be kept down. Ordinary felt weather stripping helps to reduce this loss. Metal weather stripping is still better and aids materially in saving fuel. Tests have demonstrated that it is possible, by the use of metal weather stripping, to reduce by 88 per cent the leakage through a 1-32-inch crack when the wind is blowing 15 miles an hour and by 83 per cent with a 30-mile wind. The condition of the windows in a building, whether tight, loose or just loose enough to rattle plays a very important part not only in the comfort derived from a heating plant but more noticeably in the annual cost of operation. Suitable metal weather stripping frequently reduces by 15 to 20 per cent the radiation required. The prevention of window leakage means a saving of heat and a lessening of dirt blown into the house. In a certain apartment house, says the bulletin, situated near a railroad station in a large city, during the first season of its occupancy the heating system supplied sufficient heat with a reasonable economy of fuel, but smoke and dust were a nuisance. Metal weather stripping was applied before the next heating season, and as a result the temperature of the rooms was too high. Copies of the bulletin may be had upon request of the department at Washington, D. C. Things are made Home wire for stems. The cotton is covered with wax, heated to the point where it will run, and shaped by turning and modeling with the fingers while it cools. Several colors may be blended together in this way. After the fruit is shaped and cooled, it is heated again—not to the melting point, but enough to give it a glossy finish, and cooled by dipping it in cold water. Either paper or millinery foliage is used with both fruit and flowers and wire is wound with green paper for the stems. Roses ' carnations, cosmos and chrysanthemums are made of crepe paper with such fidelity to the natural flowers that it is hard to distinguish between them at a little distance. The paper roses and carnations are sometimes scented with the perfume of these blossoms, adding something to the pleasure they give. Making them is fascinating work and they are so inexpensive that every house may be brightened by them. Fruits are a little more difficult for the amateurs, but they are lasting and will repay the experiment and the small investment in wire, paper, sealing wax and cotton. The baskets and vases of paper rope will require some instruction. It can be bad where the materials are sold and without expense.

NOSEY PEEKED in at the Annual Ball of the Regiment last Monday night and arrived just in time to see a little "deep stuff." A lady was returning to the dance after having left during the game. She did not have any wraps because she left them with her husband when she slipped out in the heat of the basketball game. She located her husband after taking off the man's overcoat that kept her warm in the car. He was talking to a lady. Did she "hawl him out?" The lady moved away sheepishly. The husband apologized and offered his wife her wraps. She had decided to go home. Her husband was worried because his wife was jealous of his simple act of sitting by a lady. If he really knew where his wife went and what she did, Nosey knows that she would be in the divorce court. Camouflage pays sometimes after all. VER EAST there is a strange cult of "worshipers" that gather every night near the lake. They meet in the darkness, give the mystic password, exchange greetings and other things—suitcases. Then they open the suitcases, take out something in the dark which they put to their lips. This action is repeated time and again. Then they sway in the lake breezes, close the suitcases, throw shiny objects into the lake, embrace each other and then stagger off their several ways as they came. All is done quietly and each move is made with startling precision showing long practice. When Nosey tried to "butt in" on the ceremonies the other night, they closed their suitcases with astonishing speed and moved away without the usual embrace. Since that time Nosey has not been able to locate where the "klan" now worships. SOME MEN have plenty sense. Nosey was at theatre the other night and saw a couple come in, take their seats and proceed to enjoy the show. Later another man came in and stood over them and from his conversation. Nosey and everybody near decided that the last entrant was the husband of the demure little lady. He told her a few things about going to theatre with single men. She told him that the gentleman who was with her was a "friend" and that it was alright and that he ought to be ashamed and further than that, she was going to stay there with the "friend". It was her wish. The little "friend" looked up at big hubby and said, "It might be your wish, but it ain't mine. I'm going." And he did. Hubby sat down in his seat and kept his hand on wife to make sure that she did not move. Both men used judgment. EVERY NEW Year's, Eve has its wild trees but Nosey thinks that this one was the wildest for some time in Chicago. Nosey saw some of the city's most conservative trying time after time to open a door or connect with a telephone pole. Some of those who were more overcome than the others forgot how to walk and were doing a "cookie bowl" on their hands and knees on the sidewalk. After the "breakfast cabaret" these "wild ones" niled into neighborhood restaurants and made life miserable for those who wanted to eat their breakfast. Ladies forgot they were ladies and some men certainly forgot that they were even men. Maybe they were then turning over their new leaf. Let us hope. YOUTH GOT into trouble the other night when he thought that his tender years would give him immunity from the anger of Old Age who spoke to him on 35th Street and Wabash Ave. last Sunday night. Old Age spoke to Youth and Youth gave him the "Merry ha! ha!" Old Age got mad and truck at Youth who returned the blow, turning on his heel and running off in the same youthful motion. Old Age gathered up the skirts of his coat and ran in hot pursuit. Youth thought that he could out run Old Age, but not so. Age overtook the youth and then did the second surprising thing—calmly put Youth across his knee and gave him a sound spanking in front of many spectators. This might be a lesson to some of these boys who persist in trying to give the "old boys" a good time. BEG PARDON! Under Miss Zelma M. E. Watson Makes Debut—First Line of Art and Society.

Eight Regiment Ball Gala Social Event The Annual Ball of the Eight Regiment on Monday night at the Armory was one blaze of glory. Officers and men in full dress turned out to this annual affair in numbers which perhaps exceeded the attendance upon this event in some years. The Grand March was led by Col. Otis B. Duncan and Miss Estelle Arnold. Former officers of the regiment appeared in line. Visitors and the city's elite were on hand, most of whom were in time for the basketball game which preceded the dance. Mrs. Caroline Stanton of Xenia, Ohio, is visiting her son, Edward Stanton, 4416 Evans Ave. Dr. Davenport Grimes, prominent dentist from Detroit, Michigan, spent the New Year's opening with his father, Mr. Cornelius Grimes. He was a visitor at the offices of the Chicago Whip. Prof. T. S. Inborden, president of the Joseph K. Brick School, stopped in Chicago while en route to California. Prof. Inborden is away from his post on a leave of absence. He is making a first hand study of the economic and political aspect of his people. He was visitor at our offices. Xmas and New Year's Holiday were delightfully spent by all the guests of the Idlewild Hotel. Many had Xmas trees in their rooms and others were invited to tree functions.

William Parks After working for many years to become a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ and to be licensed to preach same doctrine, a few weeks ago William Parks received his credential at Pilgrim Temple Church. He, with joy, preached one sermon in public. Only one. His dream was realized—then an acute attack of ptomaine complicated by tuberculosis of the spine an dthe two ensuing operations finished his story of life. Rev. S. E. J. Watson, who accompanied him while eating the fatal ice cream, and who also was made ill by the same, preached the most pathetic funeral of his career, Thursday, at Pilgrim. The brother of Mr. Parks returned to Cincinnati with the end of a young dream bound in casket robes. William Parks was known as "smiling Parks." He was far short of thirty years in age, and his parents and three other brothers survive him.

A. New religious life is manifesting its quickening influence at the Wabash building. The first moments of 1922 found a group around the lobby fire place engaged in a prayer and song service. This was followed by an "Every member" meeting, Sunday afternoon. Next Sunday at four o'clock the Religious Work group will join with the Star Literary Society at Ebenzer Baptist Church in a Mass Meeting. A very interesting program has been arranged including music and an address by that eloquent speaker, Rev. J. P. Stafford. The Holiday week witnessed interesting activity and a crowded building every day. Christmas Day ended with a concert by the Community Center Orchestra and a basketball game. New Year's Day was celebrated by a lobby concert by Prof. Johnson's orchestra, a basketball game between Chicago and Illinois University groups, and an address by Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams to an open meeting of the South Side Aid and Pleasure Club. In addition to a series of athletic events and a checker tournament during the week the Boy Scouts' benefit for the United Charities' Milk Fund was notable. Mr. Crawford's Leaders Club were guests at the Larabee building during the week and were royally entertained by a group there in the gymnasium and pool. A group of youngsters from the Division St. "Y" were guests at Wabash Monday, Mr. "Jack" White, boxing and wrestling instructor, left the Chicago Association employee this week to take charge of the gymnasium at Evanston. The Boys' Section gave a dinner, Monday noon to a group of former members who have been spending the holidays with the "folks" after absence in out of town schools. The fortunate fifteen included Leonard Ball, Maurice Bowles, Engene Wood, Reginald Waddell, Paul Stewart, Hugh Schell, Addison Moseley, Richard Harewood, Winston Turner, Charles Slaughter, Charles Love, William Thorton and Julus Avendorph, Jr., Dr. M. O. Bousfield was their speaker. The Wilson Efficiency Club enjoyed a social at St. Monica's Hall on Friday evening. Not bothered by inclement weather, a large crowd was out. The Armour Efficiency Club is meeting every Wednesday night during these days of important developments at the yards. One sad note during the otherwise happy season occurred in the sudden death of Arthur Shreeves, an employee at the building. He was found dead in his room Friday afternoon as the result of an acute attack of illness to which he had been subject for years. The appearance of Mr. Prince, Activities Secretary, on the streets of the neighborhood with pencil and pad excited curiosity and interest when it was found that he was taking a census of the neighborhood businesses within a mile of the building for use in connection with the coming financial campaign. The Dormitory registered the following during the week: Don. L. Adams and Fredr'k A. Green of Detroit, H. Margun, Los Angeles, E. L. Gooden, New York City, T. F. Morgan, Highland Park, A. J.

ZION CHURCH THE WORLD OF SPORTS SWASTIKAS WIN FROM DETROIT Last Monday night the Swastika Champs played and defeated the Detroit Big Five formerly the Detroit Stars. This was the first game that the Detroiters had lost this season, having marked up quite a few wins over various Michigan teams, but the superior passing and shooting of the Swastika's, spelled nothing but defeat for them. Each year the Swastika team work is improving, and each year they are going after bigger game until they accomplish their desire of bringing the basketball championship to Cleveland. Willette was the outstanding star of the game, registering 19 out of the Champs total of 29. Hampton, the boy wonder, countered the other ten. Bruce played a wonderful floor game, an injury keeping him from trying any shots, while Stokes the rangy center, was everywhere and not fumbling the ball as he did in the Oberlin game. Rose played one of his superior games at guard. Only one Fordite registered from the field during the first half, which ended with the score 17 to 5, favor the Clevelanders. Wheeler was the big scoring cog in the Detroit Big Five machine, especially in the last half he was the most brilliant player seen on a local floor this season. Time after time this redoubtable athlete would tie things up in the last half, that would give the spectators heartaches, and only two remarkable baskets by Willette saved the day for the Swastika's. Within the next two months, the Swastika's will meet the Columbus Y, Marysville Fast Blacks, Dayton, Springfield, Wilberforce, Cincinnati, Baltimore Athenians, and Hoosier Big Five of Indianapolis, formerly the Indianapolis Y Team.

Mayo Williams. The "Chicago Defenders" met their first defeat this season on Monday, January 2, at the Armory by the Desota Council (white) champions of the Central A. A. U. by the score of 26-17. Though void of anything that resembled team work, the Desota boys possessed a quintet of stars whose individual work outclassed the splendid team work of the Defenders. Almost at will, it seemed Desota Council boys shot baskets from all over the floor. So dazzling and rapid was their play that the many thousand spectators wondered what would happen next. They were easily as good on the defense; and even Captain Bluitt, whose adeptness at dribbling has made him a favorite among the fans, was completely cornered, so much so that he often found himself where the ball should have been—on the floor. Nevertheless, Bluitt's sharp eve at foul shooting added many of the points made by the Defenders. In spite of their defeat Hubbard and Rivers showed brilliantly. The Defenders although defeated were not demoralized as the game had no bearing upon the championship, which the Defenders will undoubtedly capture be- for the curtain is finally drawn for the season. They are now down to hard practice for the remaining games which they should win with ease. The line up: Defenders. Desota Council. Bluitt. F. De Pathmore Winters. F. Scanlon Duff. C. Francy Hubbard.

Bande Harvard Now Free to Play Va—HDA NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 7.—A dispatch emanating from Cambridge, Mass., states that Harvard University is negotiating with the Naval Academy and the University of Virginia for track meets during a trip next April. "It is believed" further states the dispatch, "that arrangements will be made this year as Harvard has no Negro athletes, a fact that caused both the Middies and Virginia to decline to meet the Crimsons last spring." The refusal of these "crackers" to play Harvard because Ned Gourdin was on the University's athletic roster is made doubly ludicrous by the fact that Gourdin is now securely niced in Hall of Fame as the greatest broad jumper the world as ever seen. Mitchell Made D. C. Masonie West's Open Field Running Reminds One Of Jim Thorpe Sport Editorial Open Field Running of West Reminds One of Jim Thorpe, Famous Indian WASHINGTON, Pa., Dec. 30. (Special)—When Charles West, a Washington and Jefferson back, stepped off 98 yards for a touchdown after taking a Syracuse kickoff in the second half of the game played in the Archbold Stadium on Saturday, October 29, of the present year, turning in the longest journey of the year for a touchdown, every spectator asked, "Who is he, where did the Presidents get a race horse like that?" The great throng of Syracuse rooters sat petied as the Wash-Jeff lad worked his way down the field, and not until he had chased across the final chalk mark with his nearest pursuer far in his wake did they rise to the occasion and give the clever Negro lad the ovation which he deserved. The tale of that touchdown is worth repeating. Washington and Jefferson in the first half had kicked a field goal from placement, due to the prowess of Captain Stein, all-American tackle. Then the Orange came back with a similar tally and the score was a tie, 3 to 3. On the first kickoff after the Syracuse field goal West stood on the Washington and Jefferson five-yard line and received the leather. As he caught the ball he stepped back of the two-yard line and then began his sprint. True, his comrades "took out" the opposing would be tacklers until but one remained. West steped him and then flew to the goal for his score. Later Syracuse tied the score, but the Presidents finally won the game by 17 to 10. After that game they all wanted to know about the colored youth who had so distinguished himself. Here is his football history in brief: West lives in Washington and is a product of the Washington high school where it was turned out so many expansion team recruits. It has a fullback fork, the high school skyeen By A. E. Monroe. Fair Play When we hear the name Dunbar, we naturally think of Paul Lawrence, if Roosevelt our minds immediately revert to Eleanor or should it happen to be Johnson we naturally think of the giant commonly known as "Little Arthur." The conversation proceeds and we find the speaker to be one of those few who think Johnson still master of the present crop of heavyweights, or perhaps we are listening to a Johnson foe who has been led by the various sport writers through the shrewd tactics of sport promoters to believe that Jack is being driven from the fight game because he chose as his companion a member of another race or some other outrageous question hinged upon racial prejudice. But my dear readers, did you ever stop to realize that the men who are today governing the fistic game are brainy, well-chosen individuals who have made years of study of the sporting world? A football coach once worried over the fact that his team was lighter than any eleven to be encountered that season suggested all kinds of foolery in an effort to give weight and size to his team such as extra padding to make them appear bulky thus wounding the goose that laid the golden egg by marring the speed and progress of his otherwise great team. Another great coach said give me weight above the neck and I will produce weight below or its equivalent. Now these men behind the Johnson elimination are wise they know roughly the story of the goose that laid the golden egg and besides they Real Surprise In Store For Basket Ball Fans New Five to Show Early in January Likely to Upset All Dope Happened to be passing the Eighth Regiment Armory the other night and was attracted by a noise that sounded like Uncle Sam making a rush act to sign another one of those Japanese-English cut and dried agreements. The first person to be seen on entering was Commander Earl B. Dickerson of the Geo. L. Giles post of the American Legion, who was all smiles as he watched the clock like showing of the team flying the colors of the legion. Under the critical eye of Eugene P. King, who as coach of this promising team has surrounded himself with such stars as Tarkington (Fisk), Fort (Fisk), Zeigler (Fisk), Reid (Wilberforce), Thomas (Hampton). Something better vet: The writer was told by an official that the services of one of Chicago's best tossers had also been secured, however, it was requested that the name of this player be withheld for a while. It is understood that certain well-known players are not in the very best attitude toward their management and would appreciate a change of scenery. Remember George Fial left the St. Christophers and the crack Loendi Club lost two of their best players so don't be surprised at whatover may happen. and won plaudits for his wonderful prowess, standing out as the best scholastic back in Western Pennsylvania for several years. Then he entered Washington and Jefferson, and tried for the varsity. Like many stellar preparatory school players West did not shine so brightly in 1920 on a college squad. He had a bad habit of fumbling, but he was injected into many games and on several occasions distinguished himself. As a football running back he much resembles Jim Thorpe, the famous Indian, with his tremendous speed, his ripping tactics through would-be tacklers and his high knee action, which frequently left defensive players prostrate and maimed after attempts to "get him." This year he came into games and played in others and seldom has he failed to reel off spectacular runs. He is regarded as one of the most dangerous men on the attack in the country and is always a "threat." Against Detroit in the memorable post-season game on December 3, which the Presidents won by 14 to 2, West carried the initial kick off back over 60 yards and almost got away for a touchdown. In other games he electrified the spectators by his work, and he is certain to play at some time against California. West is a track man as well as a football star. He holds the Western Pennsylvania scholastic record for the quarter-mile and has won numerous open amateur races throughout the country. He is popular both among the athletic fans in Washington, and with the members of the team; quiet and unassuming and above all one of the best students in the institution. He has had a hard time breaking into a regular job on the Wash-Jeff team, for the Presidents have had a host of good backs in the past two years. But he has "come to stay" on Wash-Jeff and with two more years of varsity competition is regarded as a player who will, before graduation, stand in the front rank of American football players. know when and where to strike to avoid smashing the goose. We are not presenting the Johnson case as that of the goose that laid the golden egg, but we do contend on good authority that his peculiar and selfish method of dealing with those who made his livelihood possible is being used as a dangerous weapon in the fight against him. It is true the laws of physiology makes our contention appear indeed small because of his age, but we are of the opinion that Jack is yet a great fighter and would undoubtedly make the going anything but rosy for Mr. Dempsey or any other fighter for that matter, however, do not, my dear readers, allow your minds to become uselessly overtaxed with the thought of the results of an argument between Dempsey and Johnson, for if we may use the words of the song writer "Johnson has had his chance, but it's all over now." Recently the writer chanced to overhear a conversation in which sat a prominent boxing official and someone spoke of the tremendous harvest from a probable Dempsey-Johnson fight. Now it was the statement of this very official that started us to thinking his comment being, "Well the promoter who gets Johnson's end will undoubtedly reap a harvest." Now the world in general admires the man who can successfully (Do what our national leaders have failed to do) look after his own affairs and gets what is honestly due him, but there is little room left for those who through selfishly glutton tactics make the going hard for those who mean the game well. Moral: In order to demand fair play one must be a fair player. In the meantime you may write this on the wall if you have no paper available whenever this team takes the field matters not who the opponent may be the baby's buggy, rattler and the milk bottle thrown in goes for mine. POOR YARN BLAMED FOR MIGHTY SWATS Ban Johnson, American League president, said today the Jack Rabbit baseball of 1921 which some players said was responsible for much of the sensational batting, resulted from the fact that manufacturers were again able to secure good yarns for the spheres. When the war made it impossible to use the better yarn, a cheaper grade was substituted, he explained, and wrapped more tightly than had been the custom. When better yarn was again available the manufacturers failed, at the first, to go back to the old method of winding. Another cause, he added, was that the rubber covering of the cork cores was sometimes uneven in thickness so that when the batter connected, where there was a good depth of rubber, the ball streaked away in sensational fashion. On November 17, 1921, Mr. Willie Wright and Miss Delis Charles were quietly married.

May Learn When It's Too Late BY DAVE WYATT A serious warning is sounded for Colored magnates by A. "Rube" Foster in a series of articles running in many of the larger papers of the States chiding the men in control of the game for what he considers an inex- eusable lack of preparedness for pro- blems that seem certain to present themselves before the season of 1922 is well under way. There is much in what Foster says that will appeal to the average man who is interested in the welfare of baseball, however blind to conditions the magnates may be. Colored pro- fessional baseball promoters apparently believe in no method of retrenchment until necessary. When necessary it will be too late, except by measures that must be hastily devised and which experience has shown, will prove more costly than successful. Foster's outburst gives some hope that there will be some readjustments in Colored organized baseball next season. If there are men in it who are temperamentally unfit to guide its destination, they should be gotten rid of, if only for the sake of making the game more profitable to those who are fit. The goose that has laid the golden eggs for baseball magnates has been a tough old bird, but its health is now being threatened by apathy due to mismanagement. The Missing Link And while the magnates themselves are to be blamed for a whole lot of dissatisfaction in baseball, the greed of the players has gone a long way toward diverting progress in the wrong direction. However, certain facts cannot be discounted. We've been developing the players, and they have reached the highest state of efficiency they've ever attained. But while we've been doing that we've been making no effort to develop the men to handle the administrative end of baseball. That's been allowed just to drift along and to take care of itself. And when you allow anything simply to take care of itself you get slipshod results. What we need is to break in some worthy men on the business end of baseball. Give them responsibility and let them acquire some ideas and when they get the ideas let us see that they get the chance to try them out. As far as talent goes, we have no complaint with baseball, but we do need new blood in the business end of the game. 161,325 PEOPLE Have Seen The JEFFRIES JOHNSON FIGHT PICTURES STAR THEATRE 68 W.

War Tax) Find Poison In Bonded Booze Find Poison In Bonded Booze CLEVELAND, Jan. 7.—Understake will have a prosperous year about 1926 in the opinion of analytic and consulting chemists here—the victims being prohibition liquor drinkers. Hundreds of persons are slowly but surely asphyxiating themselves, according to J. M. Kovachy, assistant city chemist, by unsuspectingly assimilating the poisons found in almost every sample of what was believed to be "pure bonded" liquor. Hundreds of samples are brought to Kovachy each month for analysis, he said, and all thus far anayzed have contained a high percentage of fusel oil in the raw. Fusel oil, Kovachy says, removes the oxygen from the blood, causes the lips and body to turn blue and has the same effect as asphyxiation. M. E. Curtis of the chemical laboratories advises drinkers to "analyze well before using." Traces of adulteration that clip year after year from life have been found in almost every bottle of alleged "bonded" liquor, he asserted. That "bonded" whisky is being grossly misrepresented by bootleggers was revealed when a raid of a printing shop in the downtown section by federal and police officials uncovered a plant which is said to have been devoted exclusively to the manufacture of counterfeit labels and bottled-in-bond revenue stamps. Federal secret service operatives declare that statements made by some of the six persons arrested in connection with the raid indicate that $50,000 has been "cleared" during the last year through sales of the labels to bootleggers in Kansas City, New York, Chicago, Detroit and other cities. 161,325 Have Se JEFF JOHN FIGHT PI FIFTEEN ROUNDS!

Whoever said that "1921 would reward fighters" must have had in mind Tommy O'Connor, who fought his way out of jail and far away from the hangman's noose. Maybe Jack Dempsey was considered, who has cleaned up over a hundred thousand dollars, or Jack Johnson, who has been making over a thousand dollars a week.

In the coming year we invite you to work with us even more powerfully for the common aims we represent. Very truly yours, James W. Johnson, Secretary. --- Published by To the Editor: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sends ven its greetings for the New Year. We deeply appreciate the co-operation you gave during the year 1921, and your vital help in realizing our aims. To take but one case, the nationwide sentiment roused in favor of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is due largely to the unremitting co-operation and the space which editor generously gave. To the exposure of injustice and the praise of honest achievement your columns have often been given during the year.

HEALTH HINTS By Dr. Troy Smith PROGRESS A year 1921 was recorded as the healthiest year that the civilized coun- ve ever experienced. Everyone enjoyed the benefit, as it was nation- The country people had their share as well as the city dwellers. A number of publications to publish is, that there was a notable PROGRESS The year 1921 was recorded as the healthiest year that the civilized countries have ever experienced. Everyone enjoyed the benefit, as it was nationwide. The country people had their share as well as the city dwellers. A fact which I am exceedingly proud to publish is, that there was a notable decrease in the death rate among Negroes. Diseases that have claimed a high mortality rate among Negroes, heretofore, during the year 1921 were not so active. This shows progress not only along the lines of health, sanitation and personal hygiene, but along the lines of education as a whole. There is every reason to believe that Negroes are becoming more interested in their own health. They are taking every precaution to prolong their own lives, by taking advantage of the various means placed at their disposal, such as articles of health that appear in our leading newspapers. The great amount of attention that has been given to personal hygiene has been a means of decreasing our mortality rate. It is indeed a common known fact to the student of hygiene, as well as to the ordinary layman that colds are catching and that a person with a common cold should not think of kissing a well person, or coughing or sneezing without first covering the mouth and nose with a handkerchief. It is also poor personal hygiene for a person to use the same towel, drinking cup or dishes without first washing them in good, hot suds of soap and water. This is just one example of being careful in our personal hygiene. I could repeat many and probably will during the year of 1922. Negroes especially should concern themselves about such diseases that claim a high mortality rate among themselves. They should familiarize themselves about the cause and prevention of such diseases as Pneumonia, Tuberculosis and the Venereal Diseases, because it is these diseases that increase our mortality rate and incapacitates so many of the younger generation. Although 1921 was a banner year there is yet a great need for improvement. Let us all work together in 1922 and make it even a greater banner year than 1921. This can be accomplished if each individual does not neglect his or her own health. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP' Congressman Dyer, a white man, has been making a strenuous fight for the passing of an anti-lynch law. On the second of Jan., 1922, he spoke in the Eighth Regiment Armory in Chicago and barely a hundred of the black people of the city turned out to hear him, yet the theatres and cabarets were packed and jammed. "He came unto his own and his own received him not." Because a black man's bank fails, other institutions which are operated by black people are made to suffer. Some people are heard to say that black people do not understand business. Yet banks are failing all over the country and the reaction from the late world's war is following no color line. The adversity of the present is merely operating as a refining pot to test the business stability of the age and the black men are learning how to feel the pulse of the financial world. Soon black enterprise will survive the periods of panic and the beginning of wealth days will come. When a white team defeated a team of black basket ball players in Chicago before an audience of black people, the white athletes were hooted and hissed because of a technical argument over a point. If this had been done by white people a great hue and cry would have raised about prejudice and race hatred. The black people should treat their white brothers as they wish to be treated. The Golden Rule fits in everywhere and all of the time. Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "PEACE IN FRIENDSHIP VILLAGE" By Zona Gale. Publishers, The MacMillan Company, New York City. Price. $2.25 including postage. Recently I wrote of "The Brimming "p" and of Dorothy Canfield's deep sympathy with the Negro. Since then I have run across a volume of short stories and find that Zona Gale, another of our most popular novelists, has struck almost the same note. Zona Gale is one of America's best known story writers. "Miss Lulu Bett," her latest novel had a phenomenal success both as novel and play. Perhaps she is best known, however, by her series of stories centering about "Friendship Village." "Friendship Village" is no "Main Street" but describes a kindly pleasant community with Caliope (what a name for, an elderly spinster!) the most friendly of its inhabitants, occupying a central place. And it is in the volume entitled "Peace in Friendship Village" where we learn of what the village folk did after the war for their foreign population, for the Greek, the Pole, the Slav, that, tucked in the middle of the book we have a story entitled "Dream" that sounds a startling note on the Negro question. It begins with Caliope's visiting her friend Mis' Sykes and both of them noticing that the Old Man House has been rented. They must put pretty fine people, they argue, to be able to pay the rent of twenty dollars. They watch and see the good guys in a van — a piano, comfortable-looking furniture. It is then that Mis' Sykes declares, "Whoever it is will be a distinct addition to Friendship Village Society." They learn that their new neighbor's name is Burton Fordandis, a most aristocratic appellation, and Mis' Sykes decides that as the newcomers are moving in Friday they will get up a surprise party for Saturday night. When Caliope suggests that Mis' Sykes is perhaps too sure regarding the newcomers, Mis' Sykes declares, "Folkses individualism is expressed in folkses furniture. You can't tell me that, with those belongings, we can go wrong in our judgment." "Well," Caliope says, "I can't go wrong because I can't think of anything that would make me give them Liberty Life Policy — And be AT THE NEW YEAR NOW SOLVE TO MAKE THIS YOUR GREATEST the Liberty Life Stock and You W RTY LIFE STOCK 1901 02 STOCK SCOTT START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT RESOLVE TO MAKE THIS YOUR GREATEST The Best Investment You Can Make 100 per cent Race Enterprise 100 per cent SAFE--SOUND--SECURE Don't Miss This Great Opportunity OWNED BY NEARLY 1000 PEOPLE ALL OVER THE BER OF STOCKHOLDERS IN ANY RACE ENTERPRISE OPTIONS ON UNPAID FOR STOCK TO BE SOLD A E OF $30.00 PER SHARE.

REVENUE TAX DISCONTINUED ON PARCEL POST On and after January 1, 1922, it will not be necessary to pay internal revenue tax on parcel post, according to Postmaster Arthur C. Lueder Heretofore, one cent tax was paid on every twenty-five cents' worth of stamps and one cent on every additional twenty-five cents or part thereof. Parcel post may be insured or sent C. O. D. The insurance fees are as follows: 3 cents on valeus up to and including $5.00. 5 cents on values up to and including $25.00. 10 cents on values up to and including $50.00. 25 cents on values up to and including $100.00. The C. O. D. fee is ten cents on any parcel valued up to and including $50.00, and twenty-five cents on parcels valued over $50.00 up to and including $100.00. Great care should be exercised in the preparation of parcel post. The address should be plainly and completely written and the return address of the sender should be in the upper left corner of the address side of the parcel. Heavy wrapping or corrugated paper and a strong twine should be used, and care should be taken in typing the knot. Many articles, such as shoes, dress goods, suit-cases, jewelry, etc., are lost every year, both to the mailer and the addressee, because of carelessness in wrapping and tying the knot. BOOK REVIEW By Mary White Ovington the cold shoulder. That's another comfort about being friends to everybody—you don't have to decide which one you want to know." "You're so queer," says Mis' Sykes, tolerant. "You miss all the satisfaction of being exclusive. And you can't afford not to be." "Mebbe not," Caliope says. "Mebbe not, but I am willing to try it, hang the expense." On the day the newcomers arrive, Caliope finds that her hyacinth bulbs need repotting, and she carries a pot to the new neighbor. She is ushered into a beautiful room filled with books and pictures and meets her hostess, a lovely lady. This is Caliope's description of her. "I gave her the flower and I don't believe I looked surprised any more than when I first saw the picture of the disciples, that the artists had painted their skins dark, like it must have been. Mrs. Fernandis was dark too, but her people had not come from Asia but from Africa." Caliope sits down to chat and learns of the daughter who is at Chicago University and of the son who is returning from France where he has received the Cross of war. With this story she faces Mis' Sykes and wants to know her decision regarding the surprise party. But I won't tell more of the story. You must read it yourself to learn how it turns out. I whispered, as I read it, what the fraction had been on the part of Mrs Gale's many admiers who have read this exquisite "Dream." CUT THIS OUT AND MAIL AT ONCE! LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE CO. Dept.
