RESIGNATION OF BISHOP FLIPPER DENIED PEAVY MAY NAME MURDERER PRICE 5 CENTS VOL. IV.—No. 9 PEAVY FLIPPER IS STILL A BISHOP Also Reported To Have Been Cleared Of Woman's Charge The report published in certain newspapers that Bishop J. S. Flipper has resigned the African Methodist Episcopal bishopric is entirely erroneous, according to an authoritative statement coming from another bishop of the same church who attended the meeting in Montgomery, Ala., at which Bishop Flipper is reported to have handed in his resignation. Fight in S. S. Board The report that Bishop Flipper had resigned was circulated on account of his resignation as chairman of the board of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union. Bishop Flipper is said to have resigned from the Sunday School Board because he was unable to agree with other members in the matter of disciplining Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union. Secretary Bryant's removal was urged on account of an attack he is said to have made upon the bishops of the church in the "Allenite." In the offending article Bryant is said to have violated the church law which forbids any general officer to attack any member of the church before first bringing it before an ecclesiastical court. Bryant's Technicality Secretary Bryant denied that he had violated any church law, because another clause of the same law gave him the right to make the attack, because he is a layman, and not a member of the clergy. He contended that the Sunday School Board had no right to discharge him, and that the law required that he be tried by his local church. Bishop Flipper's Problem Bishop Flipper, as chairman of the board, agreed with Bryant's view of the law of the church, it is said, but on account of the fact that the majority of the members insisted upon Bryant's removal, he handed in his resignation. In the meantime Bryant remains secretary of the board, and is likely to retain his position until the general conference in 1924. Bishop Cleared of Charges Bishop Flipper's resignation has no connection with the charges made against him by Mrs. Candius M. Davis, it is said. According to a statement made by a general officer of the church, a committee with plenary powers was appointed to investigate the charges and found that they were unbounded. The charges were withdrawn and did not come up for discussion at the Montgomery. In a lengthy affidavit Mrs. Davis charged Bishop Flipper with a clandestine affair with her lasting over a period of years, and charged him with being the father of her nameless child. Ku Klux Klansmen Placard City WINCHESTER, Va., March 4.—Placards containing what purported to be the creed and principles of the Ku Klux Klan were found scattered broadcast this morning about town. The creed was printed in black and red letters with a border of red, the placards being 12 by 24 inches in dimensions. A style of type known as Old English gave the whole the appearance of engraving, with some scroll work added to embellish it. No one could be found who had seen the placards being posted, but it was presumed they were tacked up during the night. Savanah Woman On Kenosha Jury KENOSHA, Wis., March 4.—Mrs. J. J. Maxwell, formerly of Savannah, has gained prominence by her selection for jury service in Kenosha County. Her good judgment impressed many in the court soon. "A PAPER WITH A POLICY" The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY SHE VAMPED HOLLOWAY, HE SAYS Never Promised To Marry 38 Year Old Widow, He Says When asked about the suit brought by Mrs. La Rue Woods for breach of promise Dr. L. H. Holloway, 1658 West Lake street, says that he met Mrs. Woods at a dance on the 31st day of October, 1921, and by request he accompanied her to a musical on two occasions A. B. When he refused to accompany her the third time he said he was promptly told, "You cannot leave me here." Mrs. Woods claims to have been married to a railroad man seventeen years ago and now is a widow of three and one-half years. She claims to be 37 years old on her last birthday. Denies Engagement The doctor denies that he promised to marry her or even discussed marriage vows in any form whatever, as he had only known her twenty-six days, when he was informed "that he could not quit- if you do you will have to pay off." Dr. Holloway said that he would have more to say about the matter in a later issue. Dr. Holloway is one of the most prominent doctors in the city, enjoying a large practice and identified with many civic activities of the West Side. He smiled when asked at the outcome and stated with assurance that he would be vindicated completely. Cuspidors Cleaned In Lunchroom WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4. Segregation still prevails in the various government departments under the present Republican administration. A reporter paid a visit to the lunch room of the Veterans' Bureau one day this week. It is in a small room in which the spittoons are cleaned in the basement. There is in this room a long trough-like place where all the spittoons of the building are emptied and cleaned. The filth from the spittoons is emptied into this long trough and the stench and filth is evident. It is in this very room that the colored employees assemble. Large chairs are placed around the room against the wall. In these chairs, with one arm for the table, the colored employees take their lunch. Most of them get a hot cup of coffee from the white lunch room across the hall with which they drown the odor and stench of the spittoons. The white employees have a sanitary lunch room where they assemble and enjoy their mid-day meal. Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, an expert in the Veterans' Bureau, has his office in this building. His clerks and assistants also have to use this lunch room. Had Clearing House For Stolen Goods MEMPHIS, Tenn. March 4.—Memphis police have broken up what they believe to be a wholesale robbery syndicate with the arrest of W. H. G. Lee, a pawnbroker. They have also taken up the hunt for a half dozen of Lee's agents, whom they say he employed to rob homes, while he took the stolen goods and filled mail orders from country districts. Lee, who lives at 103 South 3rd Street, denies complicity in any robberies. "Move On And Move Out," Is Ga. Warning SAVANNAH, Ga., March 4—Bands of white men moved through the town of Pooler near here and visited several residents with the warning: "move on and move out." Bandits Make Raid On Lisle Bank Two masked bandits included the little national bank on the rint leg of Mrs. Lucille Beck, 25, 3150 Wabash ave., according to a complaint she made to the police. She says that Saturday night in the vicinity of 32nd street and Calumet avenue, she was held up. The bandits discovered a roll of bills in her right stocking. With a slit of a knife the bills fell to the ground. She sustained a knife cut four inches long on the leg. . CAROLINA MAD AT CANADA, SICK OF BULLOCK CASE N. RALEIGH, N. C., March 4.—North Carolina and Governor Morrison are sick of the Bullock case. After having been thwarted at every turn in their efforts to effect the return of Matthew Bullock to a community where even the leader; newspapers admit that police authorities could guarantee him no safety, the governor now says he is ready to drop the entire affair. North Carolina will not subject itself to the humiliation of sending an attorney and witnesses to Canada to appear before a petty judicial tribunal in the Matthew Bullock case, Governor Cameron Morrison, told Henry P. Fletcher, acting secretary of state, in the course of a telegram he sent to Washington. The rather warm reply was made to a telegram the acting secretary of state sent to the governor Thursday night, suggesting he send an attorney and witnesses to Canada. The governor says he does not intend to tow North Carolina's honor and integrity before any judge in any foreign country. The governor's reply to the Fletcher telegram follows: "Your wire of yesterday in matter of extradition from Canada of one Matthew Bullock received last late night. North Carolina will not make an appearance through attorney in any Canadian court. It will not send witnesses to have a trial before any court there. If there is any error in the form or regularity of the application for extradition of this fugitive from justice, I will be glad to have it corrected as far as correction can be made in truth. "If Canada will not honor our requisition in the regular way and you cannot through diplomatic channels convince them they should do so, then I hope you will not hereafter request North Carolina or any other self-respecting State of the Union in any way to honor a request from Canada. "If treaty relations with Canada are not such as to guarantee the return to this country of desperate criminals like Matthew Bullock without the States of this Union being subjected to the humiliation of having to appear before some judge in a petty judicial proceeding in Canada, it is certainly a distressing situation. I am not going to try North Carolina's honor and integrity before any judge in any foreign country. "Cameron Morrison, governor of North Carolina." Honor Convict Shakes Off Prison Dust ATLANTA, Ga., March 4—Ernest Tyler, a prisoner on the Federal Prison honor farm, walked away to freedom last Friday. He had been a trusty for some time.

LOUIS, Mo., March 4—Clifford Taylor, 23-year-old chauffeur, who shot and killed H. B. Graham, white wealthy member of the Graham Paper Co., November 21, 1921, was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary after one of the most sensational trials in the history of St. Louis County. Abused His Wife According to the testimony Mrs. Taylor, who was employed as a cook at the Graham home, came to work one morning to find the kitchen in a filthy condition after a night of drunken revelry. Later when Graham, who was an inverteater drinker, came to the pantry for his usual morning drink, he found the woman cleaning up the fifth of the night before and began to curse her. When she remonstrated he "fired" her and ordered her from the house. As she was leaving, Graham in a vindictive mood, seized a pistol to fire at her. It was then that her husband came to her rescue, and killed the drunkard. Mrs. Georgine Graham, his wife committed suicide twenty-four hours later. Prosecutor Goes Wild Following the summing up of the case by Charles Noble, attorney for the defense, Prosecutor Mueller, apparently forgetting all the courts injunctions, legal ethics, and his oath as a county prosecutor, went completely wild, and unleashed a torrent of verbal pyrotechnics, and based his plea for conviction upon the race of the defendant. He asked the death penalty. After eight hours of deliberation the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter. SHIPPING BOARD DISCRIMINATION IS HALTED WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4—Discrimination against employees of the United States Shipping Board was called to a halt last week by A. J. Frey, vice-president in charge of operations. Complaints against the shipping board were made by the Washington branch of the N. A. A. C. P. After an investigation, it was found that the complaints were well founded, and the following order was issued: "United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation, Washington. Operations Order No. II. To Managing Agents, District Directors, District Managers, Employees of the Emergency Fleet Corporation; Subject: Employment of Colored Men in Commissary Department. Evidence has been laid before me by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which indicates that in one district at least, there has been discrimination against American citizens in the employment of personnel for the commissary department of our vessels; such discrimination being purely on account of color and without regard to the competency of the applicant for a position. Such a policy cannot be permitted. There are many colored men who have spent the greater part of their lives working in the commissary department of vessels, and who from long experience have become most proficient in the work of that department. When positions in the commissary department are to be filled, there must be no discrimination on account of color, and employees must be selected solely on the basis of their competency, honesty, and previous good record, but subject of course to the provisions of Chairman's General Order No. 11 and Operations Order No. 7, directing that preference be given to competent American citizens. A. J. FREY. Vice-President in Charge of Operation HOSPITAL TANGLE IN NEW TWIST Atty. A. L. Williams In Desperate Effort For Reorganization The tangled affairs of the Fort Dearborn Hospital, 3831 Vernon avenue, received a new twist last week. The receiver, Attorney A. L. Williams, was haled into the Superior Court before Judge Dennis Sullivan on offdavits of Drs. Brown, Cade and others. The affaits sought to show that Attorney Williams has not acted faithfully as a receiver. The court action was brought about when Attorney Williams attempted to redeem a $500 note upon the property. Upon investigation he found only $443 in the bank to the credit of the hospital. He then declared himself ready to donate the lacking $57 to retire the note. He therefore asked for a check for the $443 remaining in the bank to which he was to add the remainder. The affidavits by Drs. Brown and Cade followed. Attorney Williams is endeavoring to reorganize the business of the hospital and place it back upon a sound basis. When he was appointed receiver he found the affairs of the hospital in the worst conceivable condition. He was able to forestall many suits and keep the doors of the institution open. As receive r for the almost defunct institution he has made an appeal to the public to take an active interest in the case, and he intends to throw light upon the whole tangled situation, no matter whom it hurts. PREJUDICE DRIVES DOCTOR FROM N. Y. HOSPITAL NEW YORK CITY, March 4. Because of the marked animosity and opposition shown to the appointment of Dr. M. Russell Nelson as interim in charge of the Gynecological division of Bellevue Hospital, New York City Dr. Nelson has tendered his resignation which was accepted with expressed regret by the Board of Directors of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals. The appointment of Dr. Nelson to the staff of Bellevue Hospital some time ago aroused a great deal of animosity and opposition on the part of the internes at the hospital. During the year Dr. Nelson spent on the medical service at Bellevue he had one woman's ward, in addition to five men's wards, under his charge; and while at Sea View Hospital he had direct charge of the admission and distribution of all women patients. When Dr. Nelson returned to Bellevue, the threatened resignation of half the interne staff did not occur. His resignation was followed almost immediately by his appointment as assistant resident physician in one of New York City's largest and best-known maternity and lying-in hospitals, where he will be located. In accepting his resignation from Bellevue, Dr. George David Stewart, professor of surgery at New York University Medical School, emphasized the regret with which the board accepted the resignation of a man "conscientious and devoted to his works whose extremely agreeable personality made him popular among his patients, and whose only obstacle was the bitter taste in his mouth caused by these small fellows of the South." $5,000,000 Loan To Liberia "May Go Thru" WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4.—The Liberian Government "may be granted the $5,000,000 loan which President King came to America to intercede for," according to a release made by the Associated Negro Press. Chicago's Most Popular and Widely Read Weekly PRICE FIVE CENTS RDER ERER Unraveling Ft. Dearborn Tangle "Sisters" Say Preacher Was A Scream WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4.—The Rev. W. A. Taylor, deposed pastor of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, is in bad with the "sisters" in his church. This comes as a climax to the outcuestring already being brought by the brethren of the church now in the municipal court. The Rev. Taylor was to come into court Tuesday morning to show cause why he should not be removed as pastor of the church. The case attracted considerable attention on account of the fact that a murder was recently committed within 15 feet of the pulpit. In addition to charges of the men of the church that their pastor rules like a czar with little or no regard for the wishes of the congregation, the ladies have also prepared a letter charging that the pastor has made a mess of everything he has touched for the last eight years. The letter is a lengthy affair and ends with the charge that he compelled little daughter, Blanche, to play for the Sunday School, although she didn't want to play, and neither did the school want her to play. She finally died, a martyr to his will, they say. Bandits Knock Out Aged Woman's Eve A bandit who attempted to rob Mrs Rose Miller, 56, 3329 South Park Avenue, in front of her home Thursday night, struck her in the face with a pistol, knocking her eye out.

Mrs. Norton was discharged after a hearing before a justice of the peace Memorial To Col. Young March 13 EIGHT PAGES SET "GHOST" OF TAYLOR ON PEAVEY His Queer Actions Strengthen Belief That He Can Name Slayer LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 4. Investigators are not entirely satisfied that Henry Peavy, the crocheting valet of William Taylor, slain moving picture director, does not hold in his sphinx-like mind the solution of the murder mystery. Peavy has told a straight-forward story about his own actions on the night of the murder, but as he sits and crochets silently day after day as detectives run frantically to and fro in search of clues, it is beginning to be more strongly believed that he knows the identity of the slayer. Acting on this theory, a group of detectives and newspaper men put him to a horrible test a few days ago. Kidnapped According to the story told by Peavy to District Attorney Woolwine, two men appeared at his room last Sunday, and represented themselves to be officers from New York with authority to check up on his statements about the Taylor slaying. They then induced him to go with them to the office of a Los Angeles daily paper, promising him $100 for any information he would give them. Faces "Ghost" After imprisoning the valet for several hours without food or drink, they then took him in a closed car to the cemetery to the vault where Taylor's body lies. In the darkness of the vault a man's form clothed in a white sheet could be seen. The "ghost" seized Peavey by his feet, and shrieked and groaned, while the newspaper men shouted: "Look, look, there's Taylor's ghost, why did you kill him?" This maneuver still failed to gain the expected "confession" from the valet. Prosecutor Incensed When informed of the action of the newspaper men, District Attorney Woolwine was highly incensed, branding it as "high-handed procedure," and denouncing the perpetrators of the trick as rascals and scoundrels. The district attorney characterizes himself as thoroughly satisfied with the testimony which has been given by Peavey, saying that he has been frank and truthful with them in their investigation of the murder mystery. Peavey, who can neither read nor write, is said to be an excellent cook, and spends most of his time crocheting. Bullets Splinter Glass, Cut Doctor's Eye A bullet aimed at a fleeing chicken thief struck the glass window of Dr. Wm. J. Waters' automobile at 33rd street and Indiana avenue, Monday night.

One student said: “It appears that unless the faculty take some steps to give these students fair play asin Other technical schools of the United States, the Applied Science Depart- ment of Howard University for the present will be almost suspended, if not completely.” Students in these departments start their classes at 8:00 o'clock a, m., and continue to 12:00; resuming ciass after lunch, they remain in until 5:30 p. m.

URBAN LEAGUE BEGINS TWELFTH YEAR OF PUBLIC SERVICE NEW YORK CITY, Mareli 4.—The February bulletin of the National Ur- ban League, just issued, features the annual report of the organization, which has been prepared by Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive _ secretary.

He is raving at the New York Censorship Board in an effort to have the New York censorship bill repealed. Dixon, who wrote the "Clansman," which was screened under the name of "The Birth of a Nation," is writing another book, which holds up to ridicule the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution. He is fighting to save his new book from the same fate his last one suffered. Mr. Dixon made the flat declaration that the board of censors was a partisan Republican body, each of the three members having been appointed for faithful service to the party, and that such a board could not be fair or reasonable with the work of an author, if he happened to be a Democrat. Dixon Demands Test The censors denied political bias. Dixon repeated the accusation and challenged Joseph Levenson, secretary of the board, to an immediate test. Facing the censor, Mr. Dixon declared, "I have on my desk the material for a new historical novel, which I am afraid to write because I know this board of political censors will refuse it a hearing." "Nonsense," shouted. Levenson, "What is it?" "It is a story of the dark period of reconstruction. It cost me twenty years of research to dig out the facts in my possession. It would require another whole year of strenuous work to complete my preparation and write the story. I dare not undertake it now for fear of my masters, who have been clothed with omnipotent legal power to suppress it." Levenson interrupted with a laugh and demanded the story. The author continued: "I would incidentally give in this book the authenticated facts that the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States were passed by force. I would describe the disgraceful scorn which made possible the passage of these amendments." He paused suddenly and faced Mr. Levenson. "Would you allow such a book to be passed for the screen?" asked Mr. Dixon. Without a moment's hesitation, Secretary Levenson leaped to his feet and shouted: "No. I would not allow it. No such view of American history can be brought to the people with my consent." Assume Autocratic Power "Exactly," the author replied, "you were appointed under the pretext of preserving the morals of children. You have already assumed the imperial autocratic power to decide all questions of opinion, of religion, of history, of philosophy, and however great your qualifications for such an office may be, every author in America believes that Almighty God has never yet made a man big enough wise enough, same enough to be clothed with the autocratic power to put his hand on the throat of a creative thinker and say, 'You shall think as I think or not think at all. You shall speak as I tell you to speak or not speak at all.' This sort of thing belongs to the dark ages, not the twentieth century." Chairman Cobb of the Motion Picture Commission attempted to smooth over Secretary Levenson's break by saying, "If the authors will only bring their manuscripts to us in advance we will try our best to tell them how to avoid any conflict with the board." "In other words," Mr. Dixon shouted, "if we will come to our master like good obedient little boys you will tell us in advance what we can say and what we cannot say, for which kind invitations the authors of America thank you." Barred in Kansas "Before submitting to such tyranny, intolerance and bigotry, I for one prefer to join a revolution that will restore the liberty, for which our fathers fought and died. You claim that your task is to make pictures bigger and better. I deny that any board of censors has ever accomplished this result. "The Birth of a Nation' was and still remains the biggest and best picture ever produced. There were three boards of censors in operation when it was brought out in 1915. Did they welcome Mr. Griffith's masterpiece which in a day lifted the motion picture from the realm of crude experiment to the plane of a great creative art. They welcomed him—yes—with an ax. The Pennsylvania Board of Censors turned it down and refused to pass it until the title was changed from 'The Clansman' to 'The Birth of a Nation', and eight big scenes had been cut out. The Ohio Board of Censors said. You cannot teach that vice of history in Ohio at all, and it was not until a new administration came into power that the picture was seen in Ohio three years later. The Kansas Board of Censors have never allowed 'The Birth of a Nation' to be seen in the State of Kansas. Censorship means poorer pictures. "It throttles the author and reduces his work to the level of a kindergarten and the asylum for imbeciles, detectives and subnormals. Unless censorship is curbed freedom of speech will be denied the authors of America and at the same time a great art and industry will be wantonly destroyed." If you are sick, and have tried everything else, why not try CHIRO-PRACTIC and get well.

Feb. 27.—Dr. Binga Dismond, former Chicago University star quarter-miler, whose record this distance and the 440 still are talked about in athletic circles, has located here for the practice of medicine, coming from Chicago, Ill., where he had been practicing. The white press of the city gave considerable space to the coming of Dr. Dismond and commented particularly upon the modest and unassuming advent into this A. small town of one of the world's greatest athletes Well Prepared Dr. Dismond is a graduate of Rush Medical College of Chicago, which is Chicago University's medical school, and served his internship at Provident Hospital, Chicago, before taking up his practice in Chicago. Chicago's loss of the skillful and scientific services of Dr. Dismond has been the gain of Danville. Urge Chicage For Next Business League Meeting The Chicago Business League held an enthusiastic and well attended meeting Monday night at the Appomattox Club.

I am not a musical critic, but have the layman's opinion of such things and know something of standards of success in such performances. I consider the work of your company, and its performance as remarkably excellent and particularly commendable. When I consider the obstacles against which you and your people are compelled to labor in producing artistic performances of this sort, and observe the success with which you accomplish, ****etc. I am truly amazed. The advancement of any race is accomplished through the training of the intellect, all other things are only aids ******** your work ought to have, and will eventually have the support of all right thinking people everywhere. I congratulate you, etc. Cordially yours, Harry Eugene Kelly. (Editor's Note: We have read scores of such letters this week.)

They were very much worried and were fearful lest some one should come in who knew them and would discover them "slimming" as many of the "society folks" call just plain going to a cabaret. One lady looked toward the door. A good-looking man was just entering. She almost dropped her glass, exclaiming "My Heavens, there is Nosey of The Whip." Nosey smiled as he felt flattered to think that people thought him so handsome. As he arose to go, he hailed over the frightened lady and said, "Never fear, lady. Nosey will not say anything, about you. I'll speak to him." See how the best of us can be flattered. ```markdown ``` ORNAMENTS are not for ladies it all seems. Nosey dropped in to see some friends. They were giving a party. Soon there entered a gentleman who wore a beautiful pair of ear rings. On his fingers he wore several rings and a wrist watch adorned his wrist. Eye glasses with long flowing silk cord completed his adornment. Nosey would not have objected to these decorations had not the gentleman in taking off his hat delicately removed a hat pin. That was the straw that broke Nosey's cannel back. He left the party immediately. Yet Nosey is informed that this gentleman is all the rage among the ladies of the real smarter set. There is no accounting for tastes these days. --- SATURDAY night was a wild and tie-dye dream for one of society's little vamps. He was thrown from a taxi with a lady in his arm when the cab was partially wrecked. That was early in the evening. His wife heard about it and set out to find him. Nosey bringing up the rear. Prohibition officers arrested his friend at his side in a drinking place because he had a flask on him. He was held up on the way home and then wished and beat him severely before throwing him out of his own house. A friend prevented his arrest for sleeping on the sidewalk at four arm. After this last incident he decided to take a short walk and go to work. Some people have all of the fun. EVERY time some people hear the clang of a bell they think that the police are around. Nosey was at a very quiet party, the other night and one of the men reclined on the settee and fell asleep. The house was on a street with a car line. Soon a repair wagon for the surface lines drove up and stopped, clanging its bell. Before anyone could prevent him, the sleeping man jumped up and grabbed a hat and made a dash for the rear door, shouting as he made double quick time, "Third raid I've been in this week, and I'm going to make it out this time." The prim booties was annoyed, but made no remark, but Nosey knew that the frightened gentleman was on her black list forever. Sleep will sometimes throw you. --- YOU can never tell what some of the smarter set will do. Nosey heard one sallow faced young man arguing with a real honest to goodness flapper. He was telling her how wonderful the new sensation he had discovered was and how long it lasted. She was not enthusiastic until he produced a little powder, dipped a match in it and inserted the white substance in the end of his cigarette. After a minute there flowed from his mouth a stream of poetic dreamy babblings which made even the flapper's penciled eyebrows arch. She hastily produced her cigarette case and trantically tore the little paper of powder from the young man's vest. She followed his actions and soon they were both babbling their dreams to each other, oblivious to who came or went. Nosey left them in the cabaret, knowing that when they came out from under it they would try it again and again and again. Well, a flapper simply must try something new. Things are so slow now a days with only moonshine to light one's way. THE MAN BELOW HAS ORDERS NOT TO SPARE THE COAL FILE, but keep the IDLEWILD HOTEL 50 E. 33RD STREET, Chicago, Ill.

The flower girls and ribbon girls were daintily gowned in rose and blue organdie. The tiny ring bearer wore a white organdie frock and carried a pure white lily in the heart of which nestled the wedding ring. At one end of the parlor there had been erected an arch of pink roses, under which the bridal party was pretty grouped as the Rev. Dr. Prentiss; Bryson of Mt. Carmel Church read the ceremony. The bride received many beautiful and valuable gifts, among which was a chest of silver of rare workmanship, a gift from the bride's uncle.

The Lyceum patrons also had the opportunity to hear the choir from Grace Presbyterian Church, under the able direction of Mr. Elmer J. Myers, in two beautiful numbers: the first, "The Lost Chord" was rendered in a finished and masterful style, indicating not only the unusual musical ability of the director, but also of the individual members of the choir as well; and the second, "Hark!

The affair was an augmented reproduction of Mr. King's past hits, and from the way the fans laughed and enjoyed the show, it seemed like a new presentation. There are many funny situations and much spicy music in the show and a general review of the artists will appear in our next issue. The Avenue Theatre A first-class vaudeville bill is Mr. Norman's offering for the week, coupled with first run pictures. Mr. Clarence Jones and his orchestra furnish delightful music. The Monogram A first-class bill is Manager Willer's offering for the week. The Vizal Trio, fast dancing and singing act, knocked 'em over their seats. Tim Onsley, the monoquoto, won instant favor in his original humorous sayings. Grant and Perkins, the Blackface sister team, tied up proceedings and Maxie and Williams, a wonderful singing act, went over great. Harry Jenkins is the resident manager and Hazel Gatewood the charming treasurer at this house. "NIGHT ROSE" At the Vendome Theatre. Justice uses strange weapons. Slave of the underworld's king, she killed him that he might not cast her off for an innocent girl and with her act won a city's battle against the forces of evil. This is a thrilling story that reveals the inner workings and the tremendous power that is wielded by criminal gangs. Most of the incidents are founded upon actual happenings that have come to the author's attention. He has studied the criminal mind at close range; and has been able to show the professional law-breaker as he really is. His study of underworld life in San Francisco is interwoven in this compelling love story which appeals to the heart as well as sending tingles up and down one's spine.

MarthaReviewed And Critics Of MarthaReviewed On the twenty-second of February the Chicago South Side Opera Company performed the opera "Martha" at the Auditorium Theatre. Chicago Illinois, James A. Mundy, general director and maestro; H. R. Crawford stage director; Cleo M. Dickerson musical director; Dr. A. J. Offord master of stage accessories; Marie Brooks, pianist, and Charles L. Cooke director New World Symphony Orchestra. Miss Nellie M. Dobson, "Martha"; Ruthena Matson and Helen Boone as "Nancy"; Jas. A. Munday, "Lionel"; H. B. Mills, "Plumkett"; Dr. A. J. Offord, "Tristan"; Emmett Berger, "Sheriff"; Herbert G. Carteg, "Page", and Bethel Senior and Junior Choirs and a few auxiliaries as the chorus. This performance at the Auditorium marked the third performance by this company in the loop within the preceding three months. The previous two successive performances were staged at Aryan Grotto Temple, Chicago, to overflow houses. Creditable comment and favorable daily and weekly press criticism by experts was tendered the company. A financial success was marked by a realization of nearly two thousand dollars A Review of Public Comment It is a peculiar fact, in Chicago, that all big performances by Negroes must face three distinct sources of criticism: (1) The "reviews" by the newspaper critics; (2) the comment and personal influence of the individuals of both races who have arrived, and (3) the boosts and knocks of the populace who are easily swayed to or from a favorable impression of the merit or demerit of a big Negro performance. The Chicago Daily News (usually fair to Negro "centres") gave a fair review of the Opera "Martha," and just commendation of the efforts of individuals, in what appeared to be an honest opinion. Several other dailies also made an honest attempt at a fair opinion, whilst one of the largest dailies (one that can never see any "good thing from Nazareth") kept supinely aloof—saving nothing. One small weekly appeared to be entirely unfamiliar with either the musical or the historical requirements of "Martha," and simply splattered all over the affair and finally wound up by condemning the work which the more competent critics praised. It has been noticeable that some weekly papers will never give credit to performances by negroes, UNLESS they are highly paid for this service. Others attempt to give a fair review. The greatest comment, pro and con is coming from the good musicians who have more or less influence with weeklies and who are well established in large groups or who feel that they should have been secured to have taken the leading roles. Only a few of this group will grant the performance as being a success. Yet, the salaries demanded by the majority of those approach, is said to have been more than the management of the embrionic organization could afford—in the case of others, they object to the whole affair, because that THEY WERE NOT THE PROMOTERS. Jealousy is easily apparent. But to give a general compendium of "reviews" and the opinions, as vouchsafed by those who were not to be affected by failure to offer them leading roles; by those who had no columns which failed to get advertising matter, and by those who studied the story, know something of music and still more of staging and acting, is: That the presentation of "Martha" was successful. And that it clearly marks the advent of Negroes into the highest field of musical presentation. From those who are and were in the inside of things, and who know the difficulties against which Jas. A. Mundy worked, in fighting against continual adverse conditions; those who have watched the morale of the little company, trusting to the leadership of the "Little Music Master" and his determination to win out, it was more than a success. It was a Truumph. Our Condensed Review To those few musicians and "reviewers" who have not learned that Lionel was an almost effeminate character—a melancholy youth—those persons should study the story again, then "review" the characterization by Jas. A. Mundy. They will also discover that the color of the general theme demands just such characterization as that portrayed by Nellie Dohson and Jas. A. Mundy. The other (stronger) characters, everyone admits, that they were good. Even the smart work of the Page. Now when the two stars (Dohson and Mundy) temporarily were drown from the main theme whilst singing "The Last Rose of Summer," did not they demonstrate their strength of vocal chords, and sweet flexibility of tones? All must agree to that. That simply demonstrated: what they were competent to do—versus—just what the theme and characterization commanded them to do. An opera is to be staged as written, and not according to ordinary choral nor concert ideas. They did so. As to the little faux pas—why, the great Salviini at one time fell outside the final curtain—but he got by with it—he was Salviini! He just got up and bowed away amidst applause. He was the musician at Mike's New World Symphony Orchestra really did some fine work under both conductors. To those on the inside. THE CHICAGO WHIP the reasons were clear why it was absolutely necessary to use the services of both.' Finally, although the Auditorium was not packed—remember its enormous size; remember the influences that were continually fighting to cause a failure. After all, it was a financial as well as an artistic success, is that not what the race wished? Mr. Jas. A. Mundy announced that next season he shall again present an opera. The Chicago public and the race ask it. "GRAND LARCENY" At the Vendome Theatre, with Elliott Dexter and Claire Windsor.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS MANY AT FUNERAL OF C.I. TAYLOR BASEBALL CLUB OWNERS AND PRESIDENT OF LEAGUE ATTENDS LAST RITES OF FELLOW WORKER White and Black Pack Street for Blocks in Effort to Get Into Church To Hear Sermon Preached—Relatives From All Sections of Country at Funeral INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 27—Thousands of people of both races surged up and down Indiana Ave. today, in an effort to gain entrance to the home of the late C, L. Taylor, who passed away last Thursday morning at 10:30. Many more joined the already swelling horde at the church when the remains arrived there. While the funeral was quiet, there was much ado among the citizens who could not get into the church to hear the funeral preached. The funeral was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Rev. Charles Summer Williams, officiating. The Masons and Shrines had charge of the funeral and the Shelton & Sons Undertakers had christs of the body. Andrew "Rube" Foster Attends Funeral The president of the Negro National League, Mr. A Rube Foster, arrived Sunday to attend the funeral and along with him came John Tenny Blount, Detroit, with Win. Dismunkes, Manager of the Pittsburgh Keystones coming in from the East ahead of the contingent. James Taylor, Manager Cleveland club of the league, John "Steel Arm" Taylor, Ben Taylor, brothers of the deceased, were in attendance. The end came to C. I. early last Thursday morning. He had been ill for the past three weeks but until recently no great alarm was caused by his illness. He passed away peacefully at his residence, 446 Indiana Avenue, with many relatives, and friends at his bedside who had kept a constant bedside watch for the previous forty-eight hours. Mr. Taylor was a member of Bethel A. M. F. Church, the Persian Temple of Shrines, and the Masons. He was active in all civic matters and could be counted upon to assist if all charitable drives that were worthy of support. Taylor was 50 years old and was born in North Carolina and was educated at Biddell and Clark Universities. He served in the Spanish-American War. He is survived by a wife, three brothers, and a host of other relatives. He was laid to rest in Crown Hill Cemetery, this city. Taylor began his long career in South Carolina, later he established a club at Birmingham, Ala. His greatest desire was to give his people the best there was in baseball and through his efforts the first Northern Club invaded the South, the Leland Giants, of which Rube Foster was at that time manager. It was through the persuasion of Foster that Taylor came North and located at West Bend, Ind, where he developed a club that won the championship. After this signal success he moved his club to Indianapolis where he remained until death laid his cold hand upon his brow. After years of hard struggle at this point he became a member of the Negro National League and was a prime factor in all its deliberations and much of his ill health is attributed to this source. When he died he held the vice-presidency of the league. At the close of the past season dissatisfaction broke out among the league and many that there would be further existence of the same feeling. Taylor got out of his sick bed and canvassed the East in an effort to persuade the men to continue in organized baseball and then came to the league meeting in Chicago. At this meeting he fought both day and night for the principal of baseball and his great efforts were rewarded by the members of the league accepting unanimously all the things he desired. This is a great tribute to any man. He fought for baseball. He lived for baseball. He died for baseball. A lasting monument to his memory is the A. B. C. baseball club. Taylor lived a life that anyone should be proud of and strive to duplicate. He was unafraid to do those things that come to hand and that impressed him as bearing the right mark. Though he made many friends, he made also a few enemies. But, it is said of those who rise above the level of the average that they create enemies. It is only fitting that the mass of humanity who attended his funeral and those who mourned from afar should pay tribute to his memory. But let us not weep at the loss of such a noble character. We who know him best are sure that he wished no great comotion because of his passing, and in the language of the poet, Bert Roscoe King: When I Am Dead "When I am dead and when my soul Is freed and flies away, When I my earthly chores have done, And I return to clay. E'en when my spirit journeys to The region yet unknown. Why weep and lament o'er my corpse, My worthless flesh and bone. And please don't say good things of me SPORTIVELY PEAKING The spectators seemed 'to have enjoyed watching Thomas make the basket ball look like a cocoanut as much as they did the basket shooting. Thomas is certainly some dribbler, he having so much fun at one time until one of his team-mates came up and stole or tried to steal the dribble-losing the ball in open field and putting the other side in position to score, which they did. Leave the "Babe" alone, he'll do it. A player on one of the tournament teams remarked: "Well, I am glad we lost, so we won't have to come back tomorrow night." Ty Cobb is also a baseball player. If the Defenders had won that third game they would have been ready to enter the semi-finals. But A-R-M-O-U-R spells Armour. The musicians' union says food must not be served in a dance hall where a union band is playing. Sounds good to the boys, but the union doesn't control the restaurants on the way home. The Defender A C. leave on another tour early in March, playing in Kansas City, Xetia, Cincinnati, and several other cities before closing the season. E. P. King was out of the Giles line-up. King is a good player and his presence might have meant something to the Legionites. Let us hope he is able to be in the next game. Soon Rube Foster will open the season and of course every semi-pro team around Chicago will be trying to beat the Giants, so as to advertise as "The Team That Beat the American Giants." Eddie Collins also plays second base. WENDELL PHILLIPS COPS TITULAR CONSEST WENDELL PHILLIPS COPS TITULAR CONSEST The last Wendyall Philips quintette leaders of the central section of the Chicago prep league experienced little trouble in beating Parker leaders in the Southern section by a 29 to 6 score Friday afternoon, at the Englewood gym before a large crowd. From the time the referee sounded the starting whistle it became evident that Parker's chances of winning were slim, for on the very first play a successful Spiers-to-Johnson-to-Spiers basket, followed by free throw by Lotten, completely unnerved the Parker bunch, and it became evident to even the Parker rooters that defeat was inevitable. Parker registered only one basket. We doubt if ever in the history of high school competition has a more beautiful exhibition of clock-like team work been displayed than that employed by Philips; the boys seemed to have had the same idea on every play; hardly a single step was wasted. Johnson, the aggressive little guard, was again in the Philips lineup and played his usual good game. The Philips team, although the lightest of the heavyweight entries, are playing a great game of basketball and if the present pace is maintained should go through to the finals with a well chance of coping. The results of this game eliminates Parker, considered a championship prospect, while Philips, if victorious in their coming battle with either Austin or Bowen, will go into the finals to be played at Bartlett gym, with the winner of the North section. b. t. p. t.

GILES POST IS WINNER AT EVANSTON The George L. Giles Post of the American Legon playing their first game this season emerged victorious over the fast Evanston Arrows by a 20 to 18 score at the Eighth Regiment Armory, Monday night, February 27th, before a fair-sized crowd. The game, although somewhat slow, was good and furnished plenty of thrills. The shooting of C. Adams of Evanston, Zeigler and Thomas of Giles Post, was a feature. Thomas made a basket from the center of the floor on one occasion. The first game between the Evanston Lights and the Eighth Regiments was a walk-away for the Evanstons; not a single basket was registered from the field by the Eighth. Following the games the floor was arranged for dancing and every one went away declaring they had enjoyed the evening. According to the management of the Giles Post a game with the Defender A. C is in the fire; if so, look out, as both teams hold a victory over Evanston, which is no small accomplishment. THE LINE-UP Giles Post b. f. p. t.

There were several good bouts on the card, including the main event in which Kid Perkins K. O.'s Boulevard Kid in the third of a scheduled six-round bout, with a right to the jaw. Fast Black was awarded the decision over Congo Kid in the fourth. "Kid" Green K. O.'d Jack Mitchell in the third, and Bill Splivins getting a shade over Kid Blackburn in the three rounds. Judge Davis boxes Kid Perkins at the next show and according to Kid Washington, he enlisted of the Jones stable, who is managing Judge Davis, his protege should beat the man who floored Boulevard Kid in 4 rounds easily. Kid Washington, who answers to either title, manager or tighter, is no novice at the boxing game. On February 24th he taught a six-round draw with the hardhitting Johnnie Brown. Bill Jones, owner of the Jones A. C. at 2819 S. State Street, has a corps of promising looking battlers under his rutledge and is working wonders with them.

Jack Johnson must necessarily take quite a little consolation out of the predicament in which Tex Richard, demon promoter, finds himself; being literally drummed out of New York, and charged with crimes against girls of tender age. Upon the occasion of Johnson's liberation from Leavenworth prison last July, Richard, then at the height of his brilliant career as a promoter, having just staged the million-dollar Dempsey-Carpentier fight, burst forth into public print with a literal tirade against the former champion claiming, among other things, that Johnson by his private life and public conduct had cast an unholy stigma upon the fight game. The westerner went on record as saying that Johnson should never be given another chance in the big show of boxing; that his record was detrimental to the sport, and many other such things.

UMBLES WINS WITH "LEG SPLIT" HOLD INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 4.—In the fastest bout yet witnessed at the Washington Theatre, Lee Umbles, the "Panthers," beat Young Dannis, Muncie, Ind., with his pet hold, the "leg split" in eleven minutes of grappling. A dispute arose at the end of eighteen nine minutes and ten seconds. The wrestlers left the mat after the customary first fall. However, before starting the next fall, Manager Stone announced the wrestlers had agreed to call it a draw with the next fall to decide the winner. One round Bess was given the task of refereeing, which he handled in an efficient manner. The first affair was fast as lightning, but the deciding one a whirlwind. Both men tore in with all at stake and had the mighty audience on its feet autotest every minute. In this fall, Umbles was forced to break a most punishing hold. The Greek had fastened his vice-like grip around the Panther's head in a headlock hold, with all the might he had. Finally, after completely walking around his own and the Greek's body twice, with his head touching the floor, he bridged from the grip and as usual slipped out of what seemed to be a finishing hold. It is at this stage of his bouts that Umbles' remarkable skill and cool headness, coupled with his strength and experience, has won the popular nomdeplune of "Panther." For, no sooner out of these death-like holds he pounces upon his opponent with the quickness of a Panther and is playing for a hold. Such was the case in this bout. Atter bridging from the headlock, an opening for his pet hold, the leg split, was seen and taken advantage of. The Greek was stubborn and tried frantically to break the painful ripper but to no avail, for the more he tried the wider apart Umbles spread his legs till finally, the Muncie grappler gave in. This fall came in nine minutes and ten seconds, giving Umbles the victory. As Sure This Company n For its patronage it l takers of America.

Over 50,000 devotees have already purchased tickets and the fans expect a great slam. On the eve of a fight with Dempsey, Wills is given one of the hardest tests of his fighting career. In Norfolk, Harry will find a past master of the game, a shitty and clever boxer. Among the spectators will be Jack Dempsey.

Edwards is a bantamweight pronounced by close students of the game as the greatest little fighter in the business. Edwards has whipped the sensational "Babe" Herman although Herman outweighed him quite a bit. Moore wants to show Edwards in New York against some of the best of the boys. Billy Roache, who is running boxing in the State Armories, has matched the coast phenom with Terry Martin for 15 rounds to take place in the near future. If Edwards is as good as Dixon as his admirers claim, and if Martin fights up to his best form, the scrap will be a buzzer of a bout.

He is booked to appear in Chicago at an early date and before a church audience. The admission price is thirty-five cents. Roscoe is advertised as the "jewel of a nation and the pride of a race," as well as orator and statesman. This advertisement savors of Roscoe's own cackling, because he is a past master in the art of press agenting himself. What Roscoe has done to give the titles of jewel, statesman, and so forth, is beyond the comprehension of serious people. Maybe it is a joke and that is the way it should be accepted. Roscoe is a laugh-getter, all right; only when he thinks the public is laughing with him they are laughing at him. While the black people in Chicago presented with credit Floto's Martha in real Grand Opera the students of Fisk University sang the old slave songs for the white people in Nashville. The Nashville Tennessee, a southern paper, in graphic description points out that the students got happy and shouted all over Zion. One happy little school girl cried out in her shrill feminine voice: "The Lord jest makes us shout sometimes." The memories of slavery should make us weep and moan, but never cause us to get happy, and as long as leading universities attempt to perpetuate them just so long will our graduates step out into the arena of life slaves in mind and cowarded even before the battle begins. Give us more grand opera and less plantation melodies. "Let old Massa sleep in the cold, cold ground for a while." Because Arthur G. Froe was appointed and confirmed as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia a number of the newspapers published in the interest of black people flare up in indignation. They are insulted because no one knows Mr. Froe. If this gentleman measures up to the qualifications for the position and is not undesirable because of his past political record he should be accepted with open arms. Being too well known has proven a liability and not an asset to most of the black men in public life. We cite the case of Henry "Linc" Johnson. Marcus Garvey was booked to appear in Chicago last Sunday. It is reported that he wired the officials of the local organization that he would be unable to keep the appointment. The people were not informed of this fact and paid the admission price and in consequence were dissappointed. This method of dealing with the public is one of the causes of the fast-failing sentiment in favor of the Garvey movement. Every person who attended should be refund his money; that is the way that upright organizations do business. THE CHICAGO WHIP Quinn Chapel Notes Dr. H. E. Stewart, pastor of Quinn Chapel, will deliver the sermon Sunday morning on the subject, "The Mission of the Church," specifically the A. M. E. Church. Sunday night subject, "The Conflict of the World and the Church," his sermon will deal with the modern day problems. Sunday morning, special musical selections by the choir under the direction of Hilbert E. Stewart. Sunday morning the introduction of the Queens and Kings. The public is invited to both services. All uninsolicit articles, manuscripts, letters and pictures sent to the CHI-CAGO WHIP are sent at the owner's risk, and the CHI-CAGO WHIP expressly repudiates any liability or responsibility for their safe custody or return. All communications must be sent in the name of the CHI-CAGO WHIP. No attention whatever paid to unsigned matter. Stamps must accompany all queries and manuscript. Metropolitan Community Center The largest audience of the month turned out Sunday morning to hear Rev. William D. Cook ("The Modern Moses") preach from the text: "What Is a Christian?" The peculiar manner in which the pastor discussed the true believer and worshiper and eliminated the mere "member of a church" was only equalled by the scholastic manner in which he exposed the historical and the evangelical belief which dwells in the head or heart of the "pilgrim." In short the exposition, peroration and climax of the sermon and its application to every day life was an inevitable pointer toward the strong spiritual manifestation which was enveloped within the conclusion. The 46 new members were from seven different churches in the city and others from out of town. Several were new converts to the faith. --- WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM.

DRAPE THAT BENCH IN MOURNING DRAPE THAT BENCH IN MOURNING A few months ago, when one of the greatest church organizations in the black race held its general conference and the election of bishops was the order of the day, everywhere and on all sides could be heard the slogan of "drape that bench in mourning." The activities of many departments of this great church are found in the Club Columns and elsewhere in this issue. The record of many of its officers and members will begin in The Whin next week. This slogan was understood by all who understand the heart throbs, the petty jealousies and the inimical ignorance of the black race—it meant that only black men were wanted as bishops and that the blacker the skin of the candidate the more suitable he would be. Stated inversely the proposition means that no mulattoes or octoroons were favored for positions of ecclesiastical dignity and authority. When we conceive of the narrowmindedness of such principles we are brought face to face with the greatest problem that confronts the black race in America—the problem of self-hatred. The People's Interdenominational Church Y. M. C. A. Assembly Room, 38th St and Wabash Ave. At 11 a. m. there will be a sermon by Rev. Thomas E. Roach, pastor. At 8 p. m. evangelical services will be conducted by Evangelists Dawson, Appleby, Morris and others. This church is growing in membership and power. Come out. The problem of hating itself looms up in terrible proportions. Its gravity is immeasurable and like an eating cancer it slowly devours and destroys the vitals of the race. It flanges out into every activity of the black people, it subverts and perverts the church as the slogan of "drape that bench in mourning" suggests. It paralyzes economic development, for men are barred from positions for which they are eminently fitted by the bar sinister of color prejudice. In politics this same grim spectre casts its shadow and from the soap box the strident notes of the orator can be heard, implying and interjecting suicidal sentiments of self-hatred. The social fabric of the American black man is woven together with rotten threads of white, yellow, brown and black. Each thread being so stretched and drawn away that the fabric is left frail and delicate. Like the tentacles of the octopus the flanges of self-hatred beats and batters down race unity and mass solidarity. ter's Temple, G. M. E. Church 43rd and Champlain Ave. Rev. L. A. Stout. Pastor. The services during the entire day Sunday were marked by the strong spiritual work of the pastor and the harmonious co-operation of the big congregation. The church is in the midst of a great drive. One of the departments has been successful in obtaining the Different Kind of Concert Company, artists, singers and readers with Miss French in artistic poses. As the black race hangs up its own Jim Crow signs and incorporates unwritten laws in their religious, political, economic and social institutions, laws that establish propositions barring a black man here and a mulatto there, laws which prevent members of their own race from enjoying equality of opportunity as well as social privileg it brays and bellows against the same iniquities of the white race and raises up its unclean hands in holy horror, indignation and protest. Their churchmen, recognized leaders and educators, will sign a petition against a Jim Crow law and for a civil rights bill and then seal their lips against a slogan and sentiment recking with hatred and malignity such as "drape that bench in mourning." Caste systems and clans built up on family lineage are repulsive enough but social systems built up on nothing more substantial than color are nauseating and disgusting. The systems are so flimsy and volatile that the first wind that blows or the first heat that touches them either blows them away or sends them up in smoke, while the white man rolls in laughter at the little joke. What appears to the white brother as a joke is to us a tragedy; for self-hatred has destroyed all efforts up to the present time of intelligent organization. It is recently learned that another one of the largest organizations that the black people possess has inculcated and ingrained into its doctrines "a 'black' to Africa movement." Such doctrines cannot be tolerated and we who preach brotherhood with all races must first become brothers among ourselves. All color lines within the race must be stamped out. It seems sacrilegious to even think of such evil existing in our churches. Let us take the mourning off of the bench and drape it with the mantle of righteousness and let that mantle be wrapped around our brothers in blood, be they white, black, yellow or brown. * * * STOP PLAYING "UNCLE TOM" Courtesy is a mark of refinement and culture. Courtesy is evidence of good manners and gentle breeding. It can be abused and carried to an absurdity like everything else. When individuals fawn, scrape, bend and bow before other people they abuse courtesy and make it absurd. The black people use a term among themselves called "Uncle Toming." This term refers to acts that remind them of Uncle Tom, the docile and humble old slave of Harriet Beecher Stowe's creation. Uncle Tom never asserted himself and was the soul of servitude. The present age affords no place for Uncle Toms. They are not in shape with the new ideals and the new ambitions. The black people have patronized the white people long enough and they have played the role of Uncle Tom entirely too long. White people in hotels and on railroads are beginning to repel the slave-like attention of waiters and porters. They want courteous, intelligent service but no more Uncle Toming. Let us remain courteous and genteel, but let us reflect these qualities as free men and not as slaves and scullions. appear here on the evening of March 13th. All are invited to hear them.

The services were well attended last Sunday, all the home pastors were in their places except Rev. J. H. Branham, who was out of the city. At the morning service Mrs. Rosa D. Crawford of the Chicago Conservatory of Music sang a special solo. Mrs. Crawford is one of our most gifted young women, and should be encouraged in her work. In the evening the pastor preached a very inspiring sermon on "Honored of God." In part, he said that God honors every man to some extent, but some men such as the Prophet Elijah he gives special honors. He said that God honored the prophet for what he was, the life he lived, the faith he had in God and his zeal for righteousness. He honored him for what he did. He gave the prophet the honor of going up to heaven without passing through the gates of death. But every man who honors God with his life will never die. God will honor him with life eternal. The sermon was a masterpiece, a scholarly exposition on the life and works of the Prophet Elijah. There were a number of white visitors in the audience and all went away much benefited. There will be preaching all day next Sunday. The Lord's Supper will be observed at the close of the morning services. All are welcome. The Political Pot Harris B. Gains, one of the most brilliant and popular of the younger lawyers in Chicago, is out to win in the race for the Legislature. Mr. Gains has been endorsed by the Nineteen Twenty-Four Republican Club and the Brundage machine. He is well known in the city and has an unblemished record. He is expecting to roll up the winning vote. Dr Wm. H. Huff is receiving testimonials from his friends and was quite busy last week filling his engagements. He is one of the best known men in the city and he himself is surprised to learn how many of his acquaintances have already rallied to his cause. He is pruning himself for the Senate. As soon as the weather moderates Dr. Huff will be heard all over the South Side. It is probable that Attorney Oliver A. Clark will be endorsed by the Nineteen Twenty-Four Republican Club for the Legislature. He is a resident of the Second Ward and is one of the most able men in the city. He will be supported by the "Intelligence" because of his clean, honest and brilliant record in public service. He has been practicing in Chicago for almost ten years. Judge Hays made a serious mistake in his handling of the discrimination cases brought to his court under the civil rights bill by Mr. Fred Irwin and Mr. Howarditt. Illinois black people are not going to vote for any judge who does not seem to be fair on issues arising under the civil rights bill. Judge Hays will do well to convince his friends in the Second Ward that he does not approve of discrimination. The story at the polls will tell the resentment felt. Mr. Oscar De Priest, the leader of the Ettelson forces, has been continued to his home with an attack of the influenza and his powerful personality has been missed, but he is back in hareness and everyone knows that Oscar is the organizer nonpareil. He is also supporting Eugene Marshall for the Legislature. He is priming Mr. Marshall against Warren It Douglas and has vowed that Douglas will be defeated. Get busy, Douglas. Col. Franklin Denison, the leader of Attorney-General Brundage's forces, has been indisposed for several days. Col. Denison is the type of citizen that the whole world respects. He is one of the most brilliant lawyers that the city affords and has always played square. During his illness Attorney J. Harold Mosely has taken up the mantel and has ably represented the Colonel. They are affiliated also with the Nineteen Twenty-Four Republican Club. Real Estate Department Real Estate Department State street is going to have an ultra modern office building, stores on the ground floor, offices on the second floor, shops and offices above. The shops were of the same character as those in the Republic Building. The building will be a credit to this section of the city and will no doubt improve the property values. Plans are all completed, awaiting the settling on the building situation. There is also under consideration the construction of a theater in the area in the rear of the Roosevelt Bank Building. Needless to say it will have a large area to draw from. The advent of the Chicago University of Music into Michigan avenue at 37th street presages another change of complexion for the main thoroughfare to the south. However, it is hoped that those of artistic tastes and poetic minds will have, also, an eye for the beautiful and endeavor to make the corner of 37th and Michigan avenue a point of admiration instead of an object of ridicule. Thousands of autos pass there every day and the supporters of the very commendable institution can do much toward creating a favorable and lasting impression of race enterprises. Michigan avenue is soon to have a tea room. One of the beautiful residences near 35th street is to be overhauled for the purpose of creating a rendezvous for those who wish to lunch and dance without the usual clamorous accompaniment of the cabaret. Parties leasing premises should be careful to see that their lease provides for the repair of the premises by the landlord. Landlords are not required to repair premises where tenant has the use of the whole premises, such as a house. However, in apartment houses the landlord is bound to make repairs. When a tenant moves in and occupies a new apartment, when he signs the lease, he will find that the lease recites the fact that the premises are in good condition, therefore the landlord is not bound to make any repairs after he has taken possession.

HEALTH HINT Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. (By Rena Maran, published in Paris. Received the Prix Goncourt, 1921. The book is in French, paper cover and can be secured through the Crisis, 70 Frith Ave., for $80.60. Postage ten cents.) In this preface, describing the section in equatorial Africa in which his novel is laid, Maran says, "It was a region rich in rubber and with a large population. It had many plantations and its people raised large numbers of chickens and kids. Seven years of foreign rule have been enough to ruin it completely. The villages have been destroyed, the plantations have disappeared, the kids and the chickens are dead. The natives, weakened by excessive toll, have not had the time to sow their crops. They have seen disease brought to them, famine overtake them, and their population grow less." This is the key-note of the remarkable novel by Rene Maran that has been awarded the Prix Goncourt, the most coveted literary prize in France. Maran is a Frenchman, born at Bordeaux of colored parents. His mother comes from Guadeloupe, his father from Martinique. After finishing his studies he took up his residence in a remote part of French equatorial Africa two days' journey from Lake Chad, as a colonial official. His novel was published before he left, but he did not know that a friend had presented it for the Prix Goncourt, and he may not know yet, so remote is he from France. He has also published two volumes of verse. It is a tremendous honor that has come to this young colored Frenchman, and one turns eagerly to the volume that has been accorded such a prize, but if we look at Batonala as propaganda for the Negro we shall be sadly disappointed. It depicts a grossly sensuous tribe held in subjection by a brutal government. But as a picture of the horrors of imperialism it has never been surpassed. Save in a short preface the author keeps himself and his opinions entirely in the background and yet he says so much. There is an important ceremonial dance, described with horrible detail, that takes place when the white commandment is away, and in the midst of the excitement Batonala, the chief, cries out against the French. In a few pages he gives the history of a peaceful agricultural people brought into the bondage of European commercial greed. We are nothing but flesh out of which taxes may be ground. We are nothing but beasts of burden. Beasts? Not even that! The white man will feed a dog and care for a horse. But we? We are less than these animals, we are lower than the lowest. The white men are slowly killing us." And to this his cynical old father cries: "Let us whine less and drink more" and thanks the French for their gift of absinthe. Batonala, in his dying delirium tells of what he hates in the whites, their being their cruelty, their unreasonableness, their hypocrisy. And he cries out against taking the Negro to far off lands to fight for the savage of the whites and if they protest they are imprisoned or hung: "There are no serfs nor chiefs, white or blacks, only men and all men are brothers." So he gives his philosophy. And in the meanwhile the French command, who has been asked for medical aid to help save this chief's life, replies with charming candor that he should be glad to have Batonala die and all his people with him. The plot of Batouala is the eternal French triangle, a husband, a wife and a lover. The husband, the chief Batouala, has a favorite wife Yassigunia, who becomes enamoured of his friend Bissibingui. The husband in his jealousy determines to kill Bissibingui and when they are together in the hut, "and such a marvelous description of hut as this is," throws his knife at his rival while appearing to throw it at a panther who is near Bissibingui. The knife misses its aim, and the panther turns upon Batouala and with one stroke of his paw tears open his body. The end of the great chief is magnificent. He is silent after the delirium in which he inveighs against the French. Only his little dog is with him, a snarling little red dog, one of the most real figures in the story. It is night, Yassigunia is in her hut and with her his rival. He sees them embracing one another. His jealousy gives him strength, and rising to his feet, like an infant taking its first steps, he advances toward the pair who rush apart and stand against the wall, their teeth chattering with terror. But Batouala has no further strength, and like a great tree in the forest, he falls to the ground. "At the sound the ducks quack, the hens cackle, the little red dog growls without opening his eyes, the ants, at work in their houses in the brown earth make a grating sound. And Yassigunia and Bissibingui flee into the night. Little by little the sounds die away and sleep falls upon all Silence and solitude keep watch. Batouala, the majestic night is over you Sleep. Sleep." The book is great literature but it describes things sexual with a partisan larity that is untranslatable. One who has read much of Africa knows, how ever, that the great festival that under French rule has become merely an orgy. Once had a deep religious significance. The story pictures a primitive orgy, once had a deep religious significance. The story pictures a primitive other not yet born. And if the French ever do bring spiritual life to theatrical Africa, if Christ and not, the devil of commercial exploitation ever rules in it, few natives, if we are to credit Maran, will profit by the change. Every year they are dying at the hands of that modern civilization that white men are taught not to question but to uphold and reverse. HEALTH HINTS By Dr. Troy Smith are me a communication from a young man man of hard times. He writes as follows: "Ki rms of the 'Whip,' the symptoms of a stric I was a victim of gonorrhea about six took treatments from a doctor for about most my job and had to discontinue treat- t time I have been going to my neigh- t and he has been giving me an injection he claims is used by the best specialist his medicine has done me no good, as I he the morning drop. Kindly inform me danger in letting this go until I get on and have the proper medical service." The first symptom of a stricture of the result of gonorrhea is a mucopurulent dis- more noticeable in the morning on aris- on urinating in a clean glass the urine will few white threads and epithelium will tumor of the glass. These are the main DR. toms. I have before me a communication from a young man who evidently has seen the effects of hard times. He writes as follows: "Kindly inform me through the columns of the 'Whin', the symptoms of a stricture, also what through the columns of the 'Whip' the symptoms of a causes them. I was a victim of gonorrhea about six months ago and took treatments from a doctor for about four weeks. I lost my job and had to discontinue treatments, since that time I have been going to my neighborhood druggist and he has been giving me an injection prescription that he claims is used by the best specialist in the city. His medicine has done me no good, as I continue to have the morning drop. Kindly inform me if there is any danger in letting this go until I get on my feet again and have the proper medical service." Answer. The first symptom of a stricture of the urethra as a result of gonorrhea is a mucopurulent discharge. This is more noticeable in the morning on arising. The second on urinating in a clean glass the urine will be clear, but a few white threads and epithelium will settle to the bottom of the glass. These are the main objective symptoms. The subjective symptoms are: (1) A sense of burning sensation. (2) Increased frequency of urination. (3) Alteration of the urinary system twisted, doubled or forked, thick and hard. (4) It may project strongly, with rupture during its passage. (5) Dribbling of the urine after well advanced cases. (6) There may be discomfort or to the sides and in the groins or the p the testes.

(6) There may be discomfort or pain in the region above the bladder, to the sides and in the groins or the pain may radiate from the urethra down the testes. Your trouble like many other unfortunates is deep seated and is not reached by an ordinary hand injection. In these type of cases, treatments are necessary and not prescriptions. You put yourself under the care of a competent physician and remain until pronounced cured. The complications of stricture are very dangerous and I would advise you not to be too long in getting on your feet so as to start treatments. It is best to sacrifice a few other things and attend to this matter, because the earlier the treatments the quicker the cure. You must be informed that this disease does not get well on its own accord; on the other hand it gets worse and results in abscesses, fistulas, retention of urine, inflammation of the prostate gland, with loss of manhood and a general decline in health.
