U.S. JAILS MARCUS GARVEY FOR FRAUD Col. Chas. Young, Ranking Army Officer, Dies PRICE 5 CENTS VOL. VI.—No. 3 MAN Col. Chas. COL. YOUNG DIES ON JOB IN LIBERIA Was Serious Embarassment to War Department During War MONROVIA, Liberia, Jan. 21. After an eventful career in which he attracted world-wide attention and because of his high rank frequently embarrassed the War Department, Col. Charles Young, U. S. A., died late last week in Monrovia, Liberia. At the time of his death Colonel Young held the highest rank ever attained by a Black man in the United States Army. He died at his post of duty in Liberia, where he had been assigned by the War Department as an instructor in military science. Reports from Liberia indicate that he had done remarkable work in reorganizing the Liberian constabulary along American lines. Colonel Young was born in Kentucky over fifty years ago. He was employed from West Point in 1880. He was immediately assigned to the Tenth U. S. Cavalry, where he made a record as one of the strictest disciplinarians in the army. Rescued Roosevelt He came into the public eye first during the Spanish-American war when his command saved Theodore Roosevelt's troops from certain death. At other times during his military career he was assigned to the Philippines and was instructor of cadets Wilhelmforce University. Embarrassed Administration During the World War, Colonel Young, who at that time held the rank of lieutenant-colonel, was a constant source of embarrassment to the administration. It became customary to promote officers of Colonel Young's rank and even lower to the rank of brigadier and major general. It had been confidently expected that he would be made a general and placed in command of the Black division then being formed. He even made a visit to Fort Des Moines, Iowa, where 1,250 men of his own race were in training for commissions. Lieut.-Col. C. C. Ballou, white, was then in command of the post. Although of the same rank as Colonel Young, Ballou was quickly elevated to the rank of major general and placed in command of the new division. Colonel Young's high rank forced upon the War Department the necessity of placing him in some position of responsibility. It was necessary to promote him in order to allow the promotion of white officers beneath him. He was finally made full colonel. Put On Sick List He then asked to be allowed to organize and command a division from the state of Ohio, where he was well known. This was refused. Demands were by this time becoming insistent that he be allowed to demonstrate his remarkable military ability in France. He was then examined an pronounced physically unfit for oversea service. Colonel Young strenuously denied any physical disability and rode horseback from the Mexican border to Washington to prove it. He was denied military service abroad, nevertheless. It was freely rumored that the administration was firmly opposed to commissioning any man a general officer whose skin was black. He was then assigned to a development unit at Camp Grant, Ill., where he stayed until the end of the war. A national memorial for him is being arranged. Col. Otis B. Duncan of the Eighth Regiment is in charge of arrangements here. Jersey Woman Gives $3,000,000 To Race NEWARK, N. J., Jan. 21.—Bequests of nearly $3,000,000 for educational, charitable and development work among colored persons are made in the will of Mrs. Calista S. Mayhew, who died December 19. --- "A PAPER WITH A POLICY" The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY 3 MURDER FARM BOSS MUST DO TIME ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 2. All hope of escaping imprisonment for life was lost when the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed the sentence of life imprisonment upon John S. Williams, white owner of "murder farm. The appeal for new trial has been pending in the supreme court since last April. Williams' counsel asked for new trial on the grounds that the evidence introduced in the case did not warrant the verdict of guilty, and that Clyde Manning. Williams' foreman, was jointly indicted with him, and not eligible to testify. Manning was star witness against Williams. Williams was convicted before Judge John B. Hutcheson on April 9, 1921, for the murder of one Lindsey Peterson, who, according to the testimony of Manning, had been tied by the planter and thrown into the Yellow River in Newton County. Besides being indicted for this murder, Williams was also indicted for the murder of ten other men, all workers on his farm. The men for whose death he was indicted were: Johnnie Williams, Fletcher Smith, John Brown, Charley Chisholm, "Blackstrap," Henry Price, "Big John," Willie Preston, Johnny Greene and Willie Givens. Williams' trial in Newton County for the murder of Peterson attracted nation-wide attention. The bodies of some of the victims were found in the (Continued on page 3.)

BREAKS BOY" BANDITS IN ON PLANS GET $7500 FOR AFRICA Use Clever Ruse to Gain Attmance to Flat. The fact that banditry knows no color line nor attempts to confine itself to the Gold Coast was demonstrated at 3:00 a.m. Tuesday morning when bandits used a clever ruse to obtain permission to the apartment of Miss Elizabeth Thornton, 3512 Michigan Avenue, and escape with over $7,000 in gems and cash. The victims were Miss Thornton and Fred Brownie, well known in South Side sporting circles. The loot amounted to $3,152 in currency, and jewelry valued at $4,500, according to accounts given the Stanton Avenue police. Miss Lucillie Kent, Miss Thornton's maid, was also threatened and subdued. The robbers carried six revolvers and three "blackjacks," according to the victims. The unusual circumstances caused Capt. Ben. Enright to begin a full investigation. Loses $3,100 Cash Brownie said the bandits took $3,100 in cash and a diamond shirt stud and diamond stickpin valued at $4,500. The currency consisted of three $1,000 bills and a $100 bill. Miss Thornton claimed to have been robbed of $52. She said the robbers overlooked her three diamond rings valued at $500 on a dresser. The maid was not robbed. "The bandits rode in a black seven-passenger Hudson." Miss Thornton told the detectives. "Each carried two revolvers and a black jacket. The one in a passenger's uniform rang the doorbell. The maid answered. He told the maid he had a telegram for Mr. Brownie. When she opened the door, the three men rushed inside. Maid Not Molested "They forced Mr. Brownie and myself against a wall, compelling tibnaid to stand to one side with her hands above her head. After they took our money and jewelry, they drove south in Michigan Avenue in their car. They must have known Mr. Brownie, who is yealty, was visiting at my home." Brownie said he was to leave today for Hot Springs. He said he did not recall ever seeing any of the raiders. Curiosity Is Fatal To Woman Her insistence upon listening at two lovers quarrel resulted Wednesday in the tragic death of Mrs. Ida Brown, 18, who was shot and killed in her home, 736 E. 38th St., by John Johnson. Johnson was engaged in a quarrel with his sweetheart, Miss Rebecca Brown, in the hallway outside Mrs. Brown's apartment. She went to the door and opened it to discover the cause of the noise. Her mother is said to have warned her to keep away from the door. She then closed the door but still remained near to it to overhear the quarreling. At this juncture Johnson became violent, drew a revolver and fired at his sweetheart. The shot was wild and went through the door, the bullet striking Mrs. Brown on the other side. She fell wounded over the right lung. She was rushed to the Fort Dearborn Hospital, where she died early the next morning. After the shooting Johnson fled and was not captured until Tuesday, when Sergt. Glenn and Policemen Holmes and McDermott, of the Stanton Avenue Station, captured him at 4350 Champlain Avenue. At the coroner's inquest over the body of the slain woman, Johnson was held to the grand jury on a charge of manslaughter. Charge Garvey With Selling Passage on Mythical Steamer. NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 21.—The fate of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Black Star Lite, the African Communities League, and other allied Garvey organizations hang in the balance awaiting the outcome of the arrest here Thursday by federal officials of Marcus Garvey, president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and maying spirit of the "back to Africa movement" agitated through his organizations. Released on $2,500 Bail Garvey was arrested in his private apartments in West 129th Street, and taken to the Black Star Line offices at 56 West 135th Street, where the books and records of the famous steamship line were seized by federal agents. He was then taken before Federal Commissioner Hitchcock, and released on $2,500 bond, spending a hearing on January 19. Other officials of the Black Star Line were subpoenaed by Post Office inspectors. Charged With Fraud The specific charge upon which Garvey was booked was advertising and selling passage to Africa on a mythical vessel and using the mail to defraud in disposing of stock in the Black Star Line. The Black Star Line, Garvey's brain-child, has been the cause of attack upon him from many angles. Upon several occasions it has been charged that the vessels chartered by this company have been leased and not owned by the black steamship company. Recently passage to Africa was advertised upon the "Phyllis Wheatley" supposed to be under construction. Inquiries made at the bureau of navigation revealed that there was no ship. Garvey answered this by saving that negotiations for the purchase of the ship had been completed, and the actual purchase was only a matter of time. Unrest in Organization Considerable unrest in the various Garvey organizations has been noticeable lately. Turbulent factions have grown up in local branches throughout the country, and special agents from New York have been kept busy untangling difficulties. In California local organizations broke completely away from the mother organization and reorganized along new lines. Great excitement prevailed in Harlem the day following the arrest of Mr. Garvey. Excited shareholders in the various Garvey corporations besieged the offices of L35th Street, demanding their money back. A few days before Garvey's arrest it is said that he refunded money to several claimants. "Plot." Says Garvey Urged for a statement, Mr. Garvey says: "My arrest is but the starting point of a great international conflict that will one day show the Negro not the worse off for the result. Enemies of the Negro Race and enemies of my movement within the Race have been plotting for some time to besmirch my character in order to held me up to public ridicule and to cause me to lose favor among my people. Among those who are opposing the Universal Negro Improvement Association are the leaders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the African Blood Brotherhood, of which Cyril Briggs, editor of the "Crusader," a monthly magazine, is the paramount chief and active working head, and who is out on bail for criminal libel against Marcus Garvey." Excitement in Dreamland Excitement reigned in Dreamland Cafe Tuesday night when Miss Freida Brown, 3755 Indiana Ave., attacked and struck Miss Clara Lewis, an entertainer in the cafe, with a beer bottle. After attacking the girl, Miss Brown burst out of the cafe and fled through State St. She was captured by Policeman Roscoe Johnson. "Taps" Sounded For Him 6 COL. CHARLES YOUNG Repetition Of Wheaton Of 'Martha' Is N. Y. Kills Demanded Self With Gas When James A. Mundy general director and Maestro of the Chicago South Side Opera Co., emerged the Aryan Grotto Temple and presented "Martha" there, December 5th and 6th, he thought that two nights would be sufficient to accommodate the music lovers of Chicago and vicinity, who would care to witness the performances. This was not the true situation, however. Hundreds of people were turned away each night and the Aryan Grotto Temple proved too small to seat the crowds. When the curtain went up on the opening scene, the audience fairly gasped in wonderment—as if to say, "the half has not been told." There has been a tremendous awakening in the music circles as a result of the Chicago South Side Opera Company's grand success. The leading instrumental musicians of the race have organized the "New Symphony Orchestra," consisting of 38 artists. Charles S. Cooke is their director. Mr. Munday has engaged them to accompany "Martha" at the Auditorium, Washington's Birthday, Feb. 22, 1922, at 8 P. M. "Martha" will be presented at this large and beautiful theatre in the "loop" so that all Chicago may have an opportunity of enjoying its performance. Nellie M. Dobson, "Martha" Ruthena Matson or Helen Boone, "Nancy," H. B. Mills "Plunket," Dr. A. J. Offord, "Tristan," Marie Brooks, pianist, Cleo M. Dickerson, musical director. The chorus will be twice as large as it was before and the orchestra three times as large. This will be Chicago's finest musical event. Attempts Suicide In Patrol Wagon Attempts Suicide In Patrol Wagon BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 21. After he had been caught in the act of attempting to rob the Burger Dry Goods Co., William Brown, a porter in the store, attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat in a patrol wagon while on the way to the city jail. He was a trusted employee and had been with the firm for ten years. --- Wheaton Of N. Y. Kills Self With Gas NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 21.—Attorney J. Frank Wheaton, one of the most popular and best known men in Harlem, committed suicide by inhaling gas in the bathroom of his home, 208 W. 137th Street, here early this week. He was 56 years of age. Domestic difficulties between Wheaton and his wife are said to be responsible for his act. He was well known as an able lawyer, politician, and man about town. He was formerly Deputy Assistant District Attorney, and Attorney for the County of New York. Deacon Catches Preacher in Raid PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 21.—When Deacon Thomas Fankis sent a detective, led by a squad of policemen into an alleged gambling house at Thompson and Alta streets, among others they arrested Rev. Benjamin Fredericks, graduate of Georgia Theological Seminary and pastor of a local church. Rev. Fredericks paid a fine of ten dollars and costs saying, "I had no idea it was a gambling house, but believed it to be a place where men could find healthy indoor sport." MUST PAY HANGED MAN'S POLICY ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 21.—The fact that a man has been legally hanged does not invalidate an insurance policy which carries a clause making it incontestable for any cause after a year, the state court of appeal has decided. The decision was made in a suit filed by Floread Murphy, beneficiary under a policy issued by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company to William Reynolds, who was hanged in South Carolina July 11, 1919. The company claimed among other things that it was against public policy to pay such insurance and appealed from the decision of Superior Court in Augusta, which upheld the lower court. Chicago's Most Popular and Widely Read Weekly TERY --- --- EIGHT PAGES SITS ASLEEP AS FLAMES GUT HOUSE Oil Stove Explodes and Leaves Drinker to Mercy of Flames. Money, moonshine, and domestic difficulties combined to form the background for a tragedy in which C. H. Boyd, a barber, living at 5053 Dearborn Street, was burned to death in the home of his friend, Thomas Fields, 5006 Dearborn Street, early Sunday morning. Still a Mystery Boyd's presence in the Fields home at daybreak Sunday morning is still shrouded in considerable mystery, although a coroner's jury exonerated Fields at the inquest Monday. Several conflicting stories attempt to account for his presence there. According to Mrs. Boyd, her husband visited Fields for the purpose of collecting money due him from Fields. Other witnesses, including Ollie Anderson and Mrs. Fields at first declared that Fields and Boyd spent the night drinking, that Boyd became drunk and went to sleep in a chair with his clothes on, and was burned to death in a drunken stupor when a gasoline stove exploded in another room. Still other witnesses testified that Boyd appeared at the Fields home about midnight, asking admission, and saying that he and his wife had quarrel, and she had locked him out of his home. He would be satisfied, he said to sit in the front room and sleep all night. Another version of the tragedy, fully as problematical as the rest is Fields persuaded Boyd to spend the night with him, being acquainted with Boyd's domestic difficulties, and the two sat discussing the situation long into the night, and drinking moonshine whiskey. Left to Die Whether Boyd was drunk at the time of his death may never be known, but according to testimony offered at the coroner's inquest, Fields and his family retired shortly after midnight, leaving Boyd alone in a front room. Fire broke out in the house from an exploding oil stove near daybreak. Forgetting that Boyd was in the front room, the Fields family fled from the flames, leaving him to burn to death. The house was totally destroyed by fire. Fields was exonerated of all blame by the coroner's jury. SEE INCENDIARISM IN COLLEGE FIRES KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 21.—A series of fires breaking out in schools and colleges throughout the country has aroused an investigation on the theory that the fires may have been the result of organized incendiarism. The latest fire to break out occurred at Crary Hall, of Morristown College, near Knoxville. Flames were noticed bursting forth in the building, and soon the entire building was a mass of flames. Several hundred occupants were able to escape only with their lives, and hundreds of dollars worth of property were destroyed. Other schools to lose buildings through fire recently were Barber Memorial Seminary, Aniston, Ala.; Wilberforce University, and Biddle University. Hang First Woman Since Cival War JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 21. — The first woman to be hanged in this state since the civil war paid the penalty Friday. She was Hattie Purdue, and was hanged alongside Leon Vivette, in the Forest County Jail. Both were convicted of the murder of Alton Page, white, who was killed August 27, 1921, in the woman's yard. It is said the victim's body was hacked to pieces and as much of it as possible put in a stove and burned The Dixie Flyer PRICE BULLETIN DR. LUCAS QUITS M. E. CHURCH JOINS A. M. E. Much discussion has been recently aroused in religious circles by the action of Dr. W. W. Lucas, D. D., in severing connections with the Methodist Episcopals. He became a bilating himself with the African Methodist Episcopals. He become a member of Bethel A. M. E. Church Sunday morning. M. Dr. Lucas made a statement for publication in which he said that his opposition to race segregation policies in the Methodist Episcopal Church had aroused such better antagonism against him that he felt his usefulness was at an end in that denomination. It was as a result of many years' fight led by Dr. Lucas two bishops were finally given the Race at the Methodist Conference in Des Moines, Iowa. At that conference he fought bitterly against the policy of restricting the activities of the two new bishops to segregated sections of the church. Dr. Lucas stated that he incurred further disfavor in the Methodist Episcopal Church when he protested against the action of a white bishop in compelling a teacher to eat with pupils instead of taking her meals with other white members of the school faculty. Dr. Lucas is one of the best equipped ministers of the race, being a graduate of Clark University, Atlanta, Ga., and having graduated from the theological course of Gammon Theological Seminary with the degree of B. D. He later studied for the doctorate of philosophy at the School of All Sciences of Boston University. He is expected to soon assume leading rank among the ministers of the A. M. E.

Sent Black Boys Home With Ropes Around Necks Sent Black Boys Home With Ropes Around Necks WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Rufus P. Hubbard, New York, employed by the Graves Registration Service in preparing bodies of American soldiers for shipment from France, told a Senate committee Wednesday that on three bodies disinterred he found a rope around the neck of each and a black cap over each face. Called as the first witness at the resumption of the hearings of the committee investigating charges by Senator Watson, Democrat, Georgia, American soldiers were hanged without trial in France, Hubbard declared there was nothing in the coffins by which the bodies could be identified. "The bodies were identified by the cross on the outside of the coffin, and the black caps were not removed before the bodies were shipped to the United States for burial," Hubbard testified. Major Hierame Opie, Staunton, Va., commander of the Third Battalion, 116th Infantry, accused by Henry L. Scott, Kenmore, Ohio, of having shot and killed two soldiers in France, was on hand with counsel to enter formal denial of the charge. Describing his work in the field as an assistant embalmer, Hubbard went into great detail while Senator Brandegee, chairman of the committee, was attempting to find out what he knew about charges of illegal hangings.

"While at a cemetery in France, helping to get the bodies ready for shipment home," the witness said, "I saw three bodies brought up with the rope and black cap just as they were when the men were hanged. I think two were colored and one a white man. I think it was a disgrace to the army—the bodies went to the parents without the black caps being removed." The witness gave the names of several persons who were present at the cemetery with him. "There was too much hurry in the registration service," he continued, "and many sad mistakes in identification were made." "There were no tags on the bodies of the three soldiers?" Senator Overman, Democrat, North Carolina, asked. "I did not see one," Hubbard replied. "Were bodies that were not properly identified shipped home as identified?" Senator Brandegee asked. "They were," Hubbard replied. Many women in the crowded room who lost sons overseas leaned forward and listened closely to Hubbard's long recital of "carelessness," some with tears in their eyes. "Do you know if those three men were executed in accordance with the law?" the chairman asked. "I do not." "Have you any evidence men were hanged without trial?" "No, sir."

Michigan Avenue REPORT PROGRESS AT FRATERNITY CONVENTION ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 21.—The tenth annual session of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was held in Atlanta, Ga., on December 27 to 31, inclusive, at 2 p. m. The National Basilus sounded the gavel, and twenty-four chapters responded to the roll call. The conclave was an epoch-making one. It was the largest ever and the most successful. After the welcome addresses by the Basiloi of Eta and Omicron Chapters, Messrs. Lee and King, respectively, a response was given by the national secretary, J. W. Love. Then began the first business session. On the evening of the 27th an open session was held in the Historic Congregational Church. The program was most delightful. The welcome address on behalf of the city of Atlanta was delivered by our brother, Dr. Penn; that on behalf of the schools of Atlanta by Brother Dr. Bowen, vice-president of Gammon School of Theology. The main speaker, Dr. W. M Pickens, who delivered an address on "The Value of Group Respect," was at his best. This address was adjudged to be his most masterful. The music rendered by Miss White and the Omega Psi Phi Quartette received the commendation of all the musical critics present. We do not hesitate in saving that the impression we have made in Atlanta will serve to break down the iron-clad hand, and gain recognition for Greek letter fraternities in the various schools. The joint meeting with Phi Beta Sigma in order to promote co-operation of all Greek letter fraternities is worthy of the highest praise. We went on record as favoring a Hellenic council of all Greek letter fraternities. We can but say that socially all the hospitality of the South was given to our visiting brothers and delegates. The following officers were elected: G. A. Atkins of Yale Law School, who has made an enviable record at Yale being the first man of color to make the Yale Law Review staff, was elected as our National Basileus. Counselor B. W. Clayton, master of law from Boston University, now practicing in Chicago, was elected national secretary. Dr. G. O. Lychott, who has studied at Edinburgh, an M. D. from Boston University, now specializing in ear, eye, nose and throat at Harvard leading to his Ph. D., was elected Grand Keeper of Seals. Prof. W. M. Gibbons, one of the Charter members of Alpha Chapter, was elected editor and chief of the national organ, "The Oracle."

Player Rolls Phonograph Records MYSTEROUS DILLARD, Proprietor Mme. Sadie M. Dillard, Mgr. Newspapers In Comment On Lynch Bill NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 21.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, has announced that a number of important white newspapers in southern states were lending their editorial support to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13. The Florida Times-Union of January 6, says: "We regret very much to see Southerners opposing the Anti-Lynching bill now before Congress. We are as great a stickler for state rights as any of them but surely no one will claim that it is the right of a state to permit murder. We would not have the federal government take charge of the enforcement of criminal laws in the states, but this is a case where the states are unable to enforce the law as it should be enforced and the federal government would be better able to enforce it. We therefore believe this matter should be handed over to federal jurisdiction." Another southern newspaper, the Greenwood, S. C., Index, says: "We do not know anything about the constitutionality of the proposed Federal law but it is a step toward checking a growing and most serious evil." The Association also made public extracts from an editorial in the New York World of January 8, 1922, in which the World accuses the Southern Democrats opposing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill of having "given away their case." "The most deadly blow ever struck at those residuary rights and powers of the States since the beginning of the Government is the Eighteenth Amendment, and for that fact the South and its Representatives at Washington are most of all responsible. They cared nothing then for State police power and all that. The more completely it was destroyed and merged in the Central Government so far as prohibition was concerned, the better they were suited. They turned their backs on the most fundamental principles for which they and their political predecessors had stood since the time of Jefferson and went bag and baggage over to a position that even the traditional party of centralization would have repudiated as unthinkable hardly half a dozen years ago. "And now they are loudly talking State police power against a little Anti-Lynching Bill whose whittling-down invasion of State jurisdiction is not comparable for a moment with that effected by the Eighteenth Amendment! It is to laugh and this no doubt explains the great good nature with which the Republican side of the House listens to the Southern protests and then votes them down." COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 21. The Adelphi Building, Loan and Savings Company of Columbus, Ohio, held its second annual stockholders' meeting at the offices of the company, 818 East Long street, Monday, January 9, at 12 noon. The company has been operating since April 4, 1921, and has done over $27,000 worth of business during its eight months of existence. At the meeting of the stockholders, Charles G. Valentine and C. W. Comer were re-elected to the Board of Directors. Mr. J. E. Williams, joint owner of the Empress Theater, and J. O. Webb, are the newly elected board members. The reports from the officials of the company were encouraging as well as inspiring. At the first meeting of the Board of Directors, which followed the stockholders meeting, D. C. Chandler was re-elected president; A. L. Foster, secretary; Dr. G. W. Mosby, first vice president; J. P. Bowles, second vice president; L. H. Godman, attorney, and Dr. W. A. Method, treasurer; J. O. Webb will serve as assistant secretary. A 3 per cent dividend was declared. The company has a savings department, issuing a time deposit certificate, which pays 5 per cent interest and savings accounts which pay 4 per cent interest. Christmas savings clubs have been authorized and organized. The company has decided to employ a manager who will have active management of the affairs of the company. During the past year, the officers, all of whom are serving without compensation, had direct management, but the business of the institution has grown so rapidly that a full time manager will be required. The company owns its own building and already lays plan for the ejection of the building. N. Y. Library Gets Picture of 'Ethiopia' N. Y. Library Gets Picture of 'Ethiopia' NEW YORK, N.

Phone Kenwood 455 FUNERAL DIRECTORS 7181 ERNEST II WILLIAMSON UNDERMARK GARAGE REFUSED HOSPITAL SERVICE, MAN DIES OF WOUNDS On Friday, January 13th, Moses Williams, watchman for the Bishop Hamlin Coal Company, was seriously wounded by bandits, at the offices of the company, 6100 S. Dearborn street, while at his post of duty, and while attempting to prevent the robbery of his employers. In an almost dying condition, Williams was rushed to the Washington Park Hospital, where he was denied entrance or service, and, in his almost exhausted condition, he was carried from the Washington Park Hospital, 437 E. 60th street, to the Providence Hospital, 36th and Dearborn streets, a distance of some miles, where he died the following day. It is not known whether or not he would have survived had he received first aid treatment at the Washington Park Hospital, which was only about six blocks from where he was injured; but he was certainly entitled to, at least, first aid treatment at the nearest hospital; as a human being, he was certainly entitled to this chance to survive. John W. Gaines, the National Attorney-General of the National Council of the United States, on behalf of the council and in the interest of justice and humanity, is investigating this case. The National Council of the United States proposes the eradication of Jimcrowism, inhumanity and injustice. Murder Farm Boss Must Do Time Yellow River, tied hand and foot, with heavy rocks about their necks. Others were found in graves on the Williams plantation, their heads having been split with axes, and others had been shot with heavy buckshot. The defense attempted to prove that Williams had no motive in killing his employees, and scored the testimony of federal agents that Williams feared he might be prosecuted for peonage on their evidence. Clyde Manning, the "boss," chief witness for the States, testified as to how the crimes were committed, going ever in detail each death. He admitted having killed some of the victims, but asserted that he was coerced into doing so by threats against his own life. Manning later was convicted in Newton County, and also sentenced to life imprisonment. It was believed by State officials Thursday that Williams would not come to trial on the ten other indictments. No other appeal can be made to the federal courts, it was said, as no federal question is involved in the legality of the verdict. When questioned following the decision of the Supreme Court Thursday, Williams, who has been confined in the Fulton County tower since his indictment last spring, did not break his continuous silence to newspaper men. Williams' only statement as to his innocence was made on the witness stand at the trial. He would not comment on the action of the Supreme Court.

PROBE ACTIVITIES OF 'TOURIST' AGENCY WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 21.—Announcement was made some time ago of a number of prominent Negroes who had arranged with a tourist agency for a cruise to Africa. An enticing proposition had been offered them. The "eligibles" were to be restricted to Negro business and professional persons; they were to have a first-class ship with all modern appointments. They were to make the trip with the knowledge and sanction of the American, French and British governments for study purposes and were to be accompanied by a lecturer, who, on the way over, was to give a preliminary survey of African conditions. The fee to cover this service was $495.00 and the date for sailing was December 3, 1921. Shortly before that time the sailing date was postponed first to December 10th and later indefinitely. Consequently, a number of persons who entered into the agreement became restless and went to New York to make complaint against the agency. The home office of the Agency, however, is in Philadelphia, and according to information from Washington Department of Justice officials, they were advised to file complaint in Philadelphia. Segregation In Legion, He Says Segregation In Legion, He Says NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 21.—The Associated Negro Press Publishes an interview with Captain Napoleon B. Marshall, a veteran of the World War, in which he complains that the American Legion has been acting unfairly with Black soldiers who fought in France. He also claims that Legion headquarters refused his request to supply him with a list of American Legion Posts. Captain Marshall says: "After the Armistice was signed, as you will recall, there was a great World Victory Parade held in Paris of military units representing all the combatants who were engaged in that struggle. Not one American Negro was permitted to march in that parade. This fact was commented upon generally by the French people. "Last summer the American Legion sent over to France a delegation of veterans to visit the battle fields and to lay a wreath on France's unknown soldier. I, myself made personal application to be permitted to represent the Colored American veterans on that occasion in view of the fact that I had arranged to be in France at that time. My application was curtly and unceremoniously rejected. Several Frenchmen, including some officials suggested that the Colored veterans send a delegation over to France and acting upon that suggestion upon my return to America last fall. I wrote to the national headquarters of the American Legion, Indianapolis, Ind., requesting a list of all American Negro Legion Posts in America with their locations." In answering this request Legion Headquarters informed Captain Marshall that it was a violation of rules to supply him with such a list. Baby Dies Of Fall From Bed Melvin Jones, 5 months of age, 536 East 45th Street, was killed as a result of a fall from his bed Saturday. The mother of the child was on the floor beneath, bathing two other children when Melvin crawled to the edge of the bed and fell off. He died shortly after of injuries. Underwriters Pay $20,000 Sick Claims in 1921 organization in November, 1918, the premium income has amounted to $169,253.05, but the item in this Report that the Company points to with pride is the successful way in which they have met and paid all their claims for sickness and accident. During the year 1921, the Company paid $20,691.67 in sick and accident claims alone, and since organization they have paid out over $52,649.48 for such claims.

The Underwriters have complied with all the requirements exacted by the Insurance Department and the Laws of the State of Illinois, and the recent amendment to the Insurance Act which requires all Insurance Companies or Mutual Insurance Companies to have assets amounting to Five Thousand ($5,000.00) Dollars over their liabilities, did not embarrass this Company in the least, and it stands today as one of the strongest Mutual Insurance Company in the State of Illinois. The world is watching keenly the outcome of Federal action taken recently against Marcus Garvey, head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. Garvey has been hailed as the "Black Moses" to lead his race back to Africa. His critics have long claimed that his plans are visionary, if not actually fraudulent.

The firemen's entertainment was not a failure, but it couldn't be called a real success. As the proceeds were for the benefit of the fire department, the hall should have been packed, but few of the citizens were present and some that didn't attend sent and bought refreshments. The chairman wishes to thank the patrons, and says they are not discouraged. They are going to give another, hoping the community at large will consider the purpose for which these entertainments are given. Mrs. Nemo's brother, Mr. Brown, was returning home from the city about dusk last Friday and tried to walk through the gates at the Grand Trunk crossing, but the gate held him back. Mr. Brown then found out they were down. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hausner were present at the firemen's entertainment and had a nice time. They are a lovely addition to our community.

Tax Returns 1921 THE CHICAGO W.HIP -Joseph S. Cotter COMES FROM FLORIDA TO CHICAGO TO GET NEW LEGS COMES FROM FLORIDA TO CHICAGO TO GET NEW LEGS Mr. J. M. Blank of Jacksonville, Ill., has just arrived in Chicago, where he is to get a brand new pair of legs and be taught again to walk. Mr. Blanks lost both legs sometime ago in a railway accident near Jacksonville. He sued the Illinois Central Railroad Company for $20,000 but his attorney compromised on $400. This amount was soon used up. Interested friends raised money, bought him a farm, and had him taught poultry raising. Then they tried to find out whether science could supply him with better ability to get around. They learned of a place in Chicago where he could get artificial legs, and probably learn to walk in a few days. But Mr. Blank knew no one other Chicago who would take care of him and a charitable organization in Jacksonville wrote to Chicago in his behalf and was referred to the Urban League. Mr. Thayer of the League staff arranged for a stopping place, met Mr. Blank at, the station and will see to it that he gets to and from the doctor's. With the interest and help of all these friends, there is hope that Mr. Blank will get real benefit and become a happier and productive member of society.

Adam's office was visited by a reporter of the Whip during the week and was discovered busily engaged as seems to be usual with him. It has been some time since the reporter had visited the Avenue Theater Building in which Mr. Adams' office is located along with the offices of many other prosperous professional and business men and women and the reporter was very much pleased with the showing that they are making along the lines of developing the best that is in our race. Mr. Adams' office is one of the best, if not the best equipped law offices on the South Side and this is due, as he has been heard to say upon occasion, to the necessity of keeping up with increasing amount of business that he is doing. Coming to Chicago, but two or three years ago, his work now ranks with that of the leading lawyers of Chicago. He is interested in some of the largest cases that come before the public's eyes. Some cases that may be of interest are the case of the injunction suit brought by the trustees of the Ancient Order of Forester's against the Chief Ranger; and the case of Dr. Elbert R. Robinson, the inventor of the hard iron wheel, which is alleged is being used on all railroads and railway cars today throughout this country and perhaps the world, Mr. Adams is now the leading counsel for Dr. Robinson in this case. Dr. Johnson In Ten Sermons At Institutional A series of ten special sermons upon the Life and Character of Elijah, will be preached by the pastor Rev. David Johnson, D.D., at Institutional A. M. E. Church, 3825 S. Dearborn St., beginning Sunday, January 22nd, at 10:45 A. M., and each Sunday morning thereafter, closing Sunday, March 26th, 1922. The Life and Character of Elijah is an intensely interesting and illuminating study. His relations and experiences with God are typical of the relations and experiences of Christians of all ages of the world. His life abounds with the rewards of faith and obedience, and sets forth in beautiful pictures the mysterious providence of God, and His unlimited resources in caring for His own. We shall follow Elijah, step by step through his entire eventful life and be present with him upon the mount as he is transported in a whirlwind to heaven, attended with horses and chariots of fire. Through these sermons, we shall endeavor to show conclusively that it pays to serve the Lord, and that there is no circumstance nor condition that can come to us, but He will sustain and provide. Each sermon will be vividly illustrated from human life, from nature and from science. The practical illustrations will be directed to the individual experience, giving food for daily thought, and ultimately strengthening our faith in God. The supreme object of these sermons is to have each individual make God a more definite reality in his daily life and consciousness. To encourage a daily companionship and closer fellowship with the Holy Spirit through implicit faith and obedience, and to think of our many perplexing problems in terms of God. We shall endeavor to paint an attractive picture of the Ideal Life, which gives a blessed assurance of victory while living, and victory when dying. To fully appreciate these sermons, and to receive the spiritual benefit which they are intended to give, you must hear them all, for each is a link in the golden chain of God's mysterious providence, as they will deal with any phase of human experience. Our choir under the leadership of Miss Magnolina N. Lewis, who is a graduate of Western University Conservatory of Music, has been reorganized with 35 select voices, and will render inspiring music at each service. We have very recently installed a new heating plant in our church which makes it quite warm and comfortable. Visitors and strangers will find a cordial welcome.

KLU KLUX COLLEGE CHANGES NAME ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 21.—In this city of white and colored universities, subscriptions are now being solicited and received for Lanier University, the seat of Ku Klux Klan Kultur.

OI NOSEY WAS watching the queer actions of a gentleman who had just descended from one of the flats of chance." He was despondent and dejected. He certainly had let his roll upstairs. He wandered out to the lake front down to the "Ink Well" at 31rd and the Lake. Nosey saw him produce a rope and look around for a huge stone. Nosey decided that the "Olther" had decided to end it all. Before "casting off" he idly dropped a stone in the cold, dark water. Drops splashed up on his face. He jumped like he was shot, and muttered, "Nothing doing, that water's too cold." He threw away his rope and went down the railroad tracks whistling. Cold water helps other people beside those who are in a dead faint. ONLY THE RICH can enjoy this life. Nosey has wondered just how the little lady who has been appearing first in a green car, then in a beautiful electric and later in a wonderful limousine. Furs and fine teachers were always small matters to this lady who lived like a queen. What bothered Nosey most was how the good husband managed to keep such mimey up and how he maintained such an extensive automobile equipment. Nosey was standing outside of the door of the Morals Court the other morning and he saw the little lady emerge with tears in her eyes. A skillful lawyer explained away her presence in a place that was raided and her husband was righteously enraged about her "persecution." The bosses Row now have many things to say about her and her husband and predict that pretty soon the lady's real husband will show up and this $100.00 a month man will have to move to other parts as well as from the luxurious apartment in "Strivers' Row." SEVERAL PEOPLE had quite a scare at the Armory last Monday night. They were all friends of a beautiful and popular matron who has no children. She had been dancing and talking a great deal with three men—but one in particular. During all of this the husband was up in the gallery looking down upon the scene. He descended and followed his wife and the gentleman out in to the hallway where they were talking in very intimate fashion. So interested were they that they did not hear his approach. The gentleman started guiltily and the husband's eye hardened and the wife's face got pale under the heavy treatment of powder. Hubby merely said "Get you hat and coat." She did not leave—she was afraid. The third party took the hint and said, "I'll get them for you." Hubby said, "No, you don't." One of the lady's friends came up with her wraps, sensed the situation and insisted on the third party going with her. That saved the day. The third party left the city on Tuesday morning. EPIDEMIC OF SMALLPOX has made many a soul begin to worry. Nosey was hanging around one of the places out south where one may be vaccinated free of charge. An old gentleman shambled in and asked to have "the deed done." He was asked where he lived and it turned out that his residence was far removed from that office. The medical attendant told the old man that "his own precinct" was the proper place for his vaccination. The old gentleman scratched his head and said, "I do not know all your medical terms, but I'll be vaccinated on my arm or leg or not at all." He walked out numbming that he would look up that word "precinct." Politics does not reach the masses after all. YESTERDAY IS a word that comes easily to the lips of some people. Nosey overheard a lady telling how she had fooled her husband at the time of her marriage. He had asked her about her a certain suitor of hers. She told him that she met the man "yesterday." Between the man and herself it was understood that their long romance of twelve years was known between them as "Yesterday." The little wife thought that the hubby was dumb as most of the species seem to be. But hubby has in his safe at his office a portion of her diary which tells all about her beautiful "Yesterday." When the time comes, Nosey knows that the hubby will bring forth that diary and then the fun will begin. "Yesterday" will be a hard word for the lady to say when she sees her bright little future wrecked for the man of "Yesterday" is fearful of what to-morrow will bring American Legion Notes. Giles Post No. 87, American Legion, will hold its regular by-monthly meeting on Thursday evening, January 19, 1922, at the Community Center, 32 and Wabash avenue.

Miller intends to take one or two fighters along. “Tier” Flowers, col cored sensation of the South, who has met and beaten all of the best talent in that section, from the middleweight to the heavyweight class, is Miller's best bet at this time. All of the critics who have secn Flowers, and this ine cludes many of the, leading experts of the country, put the stamp of approval on the dusky demon, Miller intends to make his head: quarters in New York for a few weeks and will try to induce the Baltimore promoters to give the Tiger a shot at Al McCoy (Col) or Jack Tasco. Then he intends going into Toston to try for a match with Kohinson. If the “Tiger” is successful in these matches, Miller will attempt to match him, with one of the better-known white middle- weights and is confident before he re- mains im the East two weeks, Flowers will be in great demand . “If he was white, | would not take a half a million dollars for my interest in him, for he would surely be at the top of the middieweights.” Thus says: Miller.

While a certain news- paper was cireulating propaganda to have less space devoted to base ball the Pittsburgh papers were given more space than usual; almost every page carried something about. the Pirates, while the parks were always crowded, and yet even though the Pirates were playing to record crowds the Keystones, the club that will in all probability represent Pittsburgh in the Negro National League, was playing to capacity houses at all times. Unless something is done immedi- ately America’s ieading sport is likely to drif into complete oblivion so far as Race base ball is concerned, and this something seems to be “organiza- tion.” An improved — organization teats better teams and players, better ‘teams mean more money in the treas- ‘ury and likewise more money for the players, Something that has been long since lacking as a proper inducement for the “Sand Lotters” to strive for. Oh Look, Loendi Team | A wise bleacher manager once said ‘to Frank Chance in reference to the “Hitless Wonders,” the Chicago White | So: All you got to do is get some Hhitters who can ‘Hit them where they ain't,” worry very little about your own pitchers and you have the Sox beat before you start.” Chance paused for a moment and in disgust replied, “Yes, very true but where in the —— ar you going to find the men and space to put the ball where that bunch ‘Ain’t’.”” hay ‘A certain well-known basketball man ‘says of the Loendi basketball team national colored champions, “All you got to do is get a couple of guards who can keep Posey and Fial from making baskets and you have them beaten, as the Loendi’s are unusually Fweak at throwing free baskets from ‘the foul line, and you can win with your baskets from fouls.” This listens very good, but how in the League of Nations are you going to find guards who can successfully stop this pair of of forwards? Ask Blueit and Butler; ‘they may know; but any way, it’s to ‘tough for us.

Query: Is there a Chicago California? ‘The significance of these letters remain behind the following questions, 1, Were these letters written by, sport loving fans who believe in clean sports, or by Dempsey’s friends, 2. Were these letters considered and pub- lished according to the accuracy and correctness with which they were writ ten as stipulated in Dempsey’s article or were they based upon the fighter supported? It might be of interest to you to know that the writer knows of at least a dozen letters tha were carefully, and precautiously prepared and sent to Mr. “Dempsey” and yet not a single one was mentioned in the testimonial col- umn. However, having seen the attitude of the fans we would suggest that this matter be handled as our presidential candidate, why not have an eilmi- nation contest, say take the first three selected, Gibbons, Fulton and Wills, Arrange a match between the three and have the winner fight Dempsey. One could hardly blame Dempsey for laughing up his sleeve as he sees a fighter whose weight represents little more than two-thirds “his own and another whom he has disposed of in record time being groomed as a logical opponent for him in preference to the man he realizes to be of equal weight, ‘skill and punching power to himself, If you would have us name this man he is Harry Wills the fighter who punched his title away. It may have been a foul and it may have not, but regardless of the re- sults one thing Wills did show when he knocked ‘Tate for the circuit in the first of their schedule 10-round fight at Portland, Ore. was that he has\a punch when properly delivered will spill the best of them. We are not taking the credit of victory from Mr. Tate, but in’ every de- partment of the game Wills dopes to beat Tate, So does Dempsey. Wills has proven that he can beat Fulton. So has Dempsey.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. rs the Friends Thou Hast No race can live alone to itself and rise to the peaks of civiliza- tion. No race can lift itself by its own bootstraps; The walls thrown around the Chinese has isolated them from the world and set them apart from modern conventions and methods. The jungles of Africa have put the black people in a deep grove of environment which centuries alone erase and destroy. The black people of Amer- ica cannot scale the barriers and reach the heights thru their own efforts. They need the friendship of the world, the in{/uence of the twentieth century civilization, and the advice and counsel of other great people who have been thru the great schools of experience. The black people should cherish and love all who are well disposed toward them. ‘The friends they have they should grapple to their souls with hoops of steel.” No theory of economic and social oneness is in shape with the spirit of the age. Wars may shake the foundations of society, fratri- cide may crimson the dwelling places of humankind, but over and above it all is the fundamental principle of living-—the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. It cannot be despised; it will come even against the sneer of the cynic, against the snart of the stoic, against the ridicule of the agnostic. It is the ultimate goal of life and nothing can stem it. Everlastingly and eternally the march of civilization is towards the eventual fraternity of all men and the infi- nite paternity of God. The black man must not become so radical and carnal-minded that these principles are to be disregarded. He needs all the friends that he can get and should shun none who extend the olive wand and the helping hand. Who are the friends of the black man? The test of friendship is the test of human hearts. If a man feels in his heart the love for his brother and the desire to aid him, then he is a friend. The ulterior motive must be delved into and carefully examined and if the motives are altruistic even tho’ the methods be in error, still the man is a friend. We cannot accept all who proffer friendship towards us and the lesson of the Trojans and the Greek gift horse will well be borne in mind, “to fear the gift- bearers,” but once the motive is made clear and the intention under- stood, the well-wisher should be clasped to the heart. «he black man should accept all offers of friendship with both qualifications and reservations, but when once sure that the heart is right, then together into the real purpose of life should the friends face together. In the battle for recognition in America the black man can do little alone. He must cultivate the respect, admiration and love of his white-faced brother. For the favors already received no evidence of ingratitude should be tolerated. Man’s inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn, “but keener than a serpent’s tooth is man’s ingratitude.” . No white man can lead us out of the wilderness of ignorance, superstition, persecution and infamy, no Jew ever led a Gentile and no masterpiece was every written in any language other than the mother tongue. No white man can feel the same pangs and pinches that the black man feels. The black man must furnish his own lead- ers, but never in his arrogance and conceit should he refuse to accept the aid and succor of his friends in white. The cross-roads wind somewhere to a meeting point and to the point of convergence let the black men peer far into the future for. Friends like John Brown, Lovejoy, Garrison, Cravath, Ware, Rendall, Story, Ovington, Spin: garn and Seligman should never be forgotten. “The friends thou hast and their adoption tried grapple to thy soul with hoops of steel.” Madden With the approach of the year of 1924 comes the consid- eration of electing a Representative to Congress from the First Congressional District, who will be fitted in every respect to represent the interests of a constituency largely composed of black people. Without doubt there will be numerous candi- dates who will seek to poll enough votes to secure a berth in the highest legislative body in this.country. The man who is elected to serve our interests best should be and must be one whose training and ability are known and proven quantities, as performance and not promises are the demands made now by an awakened electorate. Martin B. Madden, present incumbent and candidate in the coming election, has proven, as a member of the Appropri- ation Committee, in his assistance to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and on all questions that affected black people, that he is fit, reliable and can be counted on to serve intelligently and honestly the interests of the black man. His many connec- tions made im his past years in Congress, the weight of organi- zation behind his candidacy place him at the head of the list at this time for this office. Our appreciation for his past ser- vices can be best shown by re-electing him in 1924. Those in Chicago who cherish the idea of high morals, clean environs and good citizenship are still waiting for the promised cruzade againsi vice by the Chcago ministers the promse is now almost a year old and the ministers have not yet appeared upon the scene while in the meantime vice flourishes and souls are defiled...A great strong minister in Chicago with a fighting heart could lead a charge which would scatter these evil forces.

My Dear Editor: My father desired to obtain a ready sale for his house and lot in Georgia upon his removal to Chivago. Having confidence in the real estate agent im Atlanta, he gave him a deed to the property, The agent then sold the house receiving the purchase price, but failed to return the same over to him. The purchaser then sold the property to « third party. Can he recover the property from the second purchaser or what steps must be taken if any in order to be reimbursed or.get the property back? G.

It is claimed that through advertisements he sold passages to Africa on a boat which was not in existence. Mr. Garvey is out .on bond. Whether the arrest of Garvey is to be justified we are not in position to say but no blackman should rejoice over the un- unfortunate affair as the whole race will feel the stigma which is placed upon the head of the U. N. I. A. While we do not agree with some of the tenets of Garvey none can deny that he is a wonderful organizer and the race cannot afford to have the body destroyed. sagas It is learned that the insidious property owners organiza- tions which have been linked up with the bombing of so many of the black people in Chicago have launched themselves anew and that already several threatening lettrers have been sent to black people who are living in so called, restricted neighbor- hoods. Strange to say in the exposure of the past bombing’ several black men are involved and we have no reason to doubt that some are collaterally attached to the new gang of vandals and ingonoclasts. We expect very little fro mthe mercernary and calloused whites who have.already declared their disdain for black people but it is almost heart rending to conceive of our people turning the sword upon us. Maybe a lessen will be. taught some of the traitors, at all hazards they are defeating themselves and their families in alligning themselves with crim- inal bodies who live n defiance of the law. i se * # The Whte Phonograph companies have sought in various methods to boycott the Black Swan records which are produced ie black people. The twelve million black people in’ America are able to support at least one enterprise of such nature and none can deny that music is the charm of the husky American life. The spirit of unfairness among the white companies should not nonpuls the black people as far as supporting their own, concerns and the boycott of the Black Swan records should simply add to loyalty of the black people. f : Be 2 DR.

We have always deeply suspected, but now we are confirmed in our be- lief that although Roscoe poses as an orator, he might have made a greater success as a comedian, Though per- haps he would not have been as great as the inimitable Bert Williams, yet it is to be sincerely regretted that he did not follow the course of his natural bent. For then no unsuspect- ing person migt have been misled by taking him seriously. As the case now. stands he is harassed on the one side by the scath- ‘ing denunciation of the intelligencia, and on the other by the stoic indif- ference of the multitude, a victim of ‘his own folly, he casts a jealous eye ‘upon the continued popularity of Bert ‘The green-eyed monster has so com- ipletely possessed him that he even |goes so far as to denounce all West Indians because Williams happens to ‘be one.

The greater portion of his life has been spent in trying to say something pleasing to “Mr. Charley.” Had his environment been different he might have been a credit to the Negro Race, even as is Bert Williams.

There is an important chapter upon Liberia, a story of a brave group. of pioncers whose dificulties were far worse than those that the Puritan futhers ever encountered, ‘There were not only the immense hordes of tia- tives, unfriendly from the first, but the European powers, foremost among ther the British, ready to seize any junfair advantage and. to. steal from the new republic whenever they fond it safe, ‘The marvel is that Liberia has survived it all, 1 have said that Mr. Brawley is unemotional, but one chapter, that on organization and agitation ends with the wonderful story of Sojourner ‘Truth speaking at the Woman's Sui- frage vention, “Dat Little man in binckcdar,” and Sojourner ‘Truth points ker long finger at him, “he say en can't have as much rights as n, ‘cause Christ weren't a woman.
