Wrapped In British Flag, Bullock Laughs At U. S. PRICE 5 CENTS NEW YORK CITY, March 8. More than 7,000 persons jammed the streets leading to the church at Bert Williams' funeral here Tuesday. Details of mounted policemen patrolled the streets to keep the crowds back. NEW YORK CITY, March 11. Bert Williams, considered by many critics the foremost American comedian of all times, died at his home here Saturday night of pneumonia. He was 52 years of age. L He collapsed on the stage at Detroit Monday night in the midst of the second performance of "Under the Bamboo Tree," in which he was starring. He had been in ill health for more than a year, and shortly before his collapse was under the constant attendance of physicians, who remained with him at all times, even accompanying him to and from the theatre, and sleeping in adjoining rooms with him. Immediately after his collapse in Detroit he was taken to New York City, where it was hoped a blood transfusion would restore his health. A relapse occurred Saturday from which he was unable to recover. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at St. Phillip's Church, with a second ceremony to be held Wednesday afternoon under auspices of St. Cecile Lodge of Masons. He was a member of Haverly Lodge, of Edinburgh Scotland. Scores of telephone and telegraph messages were received by his widow at their home, 135th Street and Lenox Avenue. All day Sunday and Monday Berl's admirers, both on the stage and off, thronged the house and requested the opportunity personally to pay their respects to the memory of the great entertainer. Went on Nerve During his recent engagement at the Studebaker Theatre in Chicago Williams is said to have gone through his performances on sheer nerve, expecting a collapse at any moment, although the audience was unaware of the fact. Born in West Indies Williams was born in Nassau, British West Indies, and came to this country when two years of age. He worked, at odd jobs in New York, and after serving an enlistment in the army, went on the stage. He began his stage career as a banjo player with a minstrel show. He then joined with George Walker in a variety show and made a name along the Pacific Coast. Their first hit was at Jack Halahan's Midway Theatre in San Francisco. From variety the team went to "three-a-day" in vaudeville. Success finally crowned their efforts in "Dahomey," and Williams & Walker became an American institution. One of Williams' greatest shocks was the death of his partner, George Walker. He threatened to leave the stage at Walker's death, but was persuaded by his friends to remain. Williams & Walker' appeared both in this country and abroad at private entertainments and at special showings before royalty and nobility. Scored with Follies Bert Williams reached the zenith of his career with the Ziegfeld Follies.

Teleographic and telephonic communication with the town were severed by the storm, but according to the reports here, many houses were blown down, and the building occupied by the Camden Machine Works was moved six feet by the wind. Three children are reported to have been killed in the destruction of a cabin on the plantation of E. P. Boltz, near Camden. Two men were killed when a logging train of the Veedenburg Lumber, Company plunged through a trestle that thad been undermined by the rains. Between 30 and 40 state convicts leased to the lumber company were said to have been on the train at the time, and a number of them injured. P. J. Ennis, white, Dallas county convict, was on the train and was slightly injured in the wreck. He was brought to Selma for medical attention at a local hospital. He was unable to say how many of the men on the train were injured, but declared a number of them were. The train was carrying six cars, and was backing at the time the wreck occurred. The trestle through which the train plunged was said to be 25 feet high. Two houses are reported to have been destroyed at Coy and two others at Nellie, which were in the path of the storm. Mystery Fire Burns School At Aiken ATKEN, S. C., March 11.—The fifth school fire to occur within the lest few months destroyed the men's dormitory at the Schofield Normal and Industrial School here early Friday morning. Three teachers and 20 pupils narrowly escaped death. It is strongly believed that the fire was of incendiary origin, and was part of a plot which resulted in the burning of other schools in the South. The men and boys were forced to jump from the building. A sprained ankle by one of the boys was the only casualty. The loss is estimated at $40,000. The Schofield school was established here by Quakers in 1889 for the education of youth. About 300 students are attending the school this year, but only 20 were in the dormitory that was destroyed. The boys are being housed in a building just across the street. All of them lost their clothing and other personal effects. Another Woman To Hang in Alabama CENTREVILLE, Ala., March 11.

CHICAGO, SATURDAY, MARCH 11th, 1922 SAY SENATOR GAZED ON LYNCHING SAY SENATOR GAZED ON LYNCHING Make Startling Charge Against Lawmaker Who Opposed Anti-Lynch Bill WASHINGTON, D.C., March 11—Senator Overman of North Carolina watched the lynching of three men taken from the Rowan County jail according to a charge made early this week by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Senator Overman is a member of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary which is considering the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill. The charge against the senator will be laid before the committee according to the association. Flaved by White Press The charge against Senator Overman is taken from the Greensboro, N. C., Daily News of February 28, 1922, which says editorially: "Lynchings' take place in North Carolina, except in the very rare instances, whenever and wherever a mob has sufficient leadership with it to undertake them. And Governor Morrison knows it. And the trach and off-securings of humanity which make up the personnel of these villainous murder-gangs most often are neither friends nor relatives' of the outraged persons', and Governor Morrison knows that. What 'friends or relatives' either of the 'outraged persons' or of his excellency, who speaks so knowingly of mob habits, broke into that Charlotte Hospital and lynched that wounded Negro? He doesn't know nor does anybody else. What friends and relatives of the Lyerly broke into Rowan jail while Judge Long was there with a governor' s high commission to hold a special court, took six Negroes from the jail, lynched three, and without interest enough to wear masks, save for the brute faces of the several executioners, and got away with it while Judge Long, Congressman Hammer, Congressman Klutz, and United States Senator Overman, Sheriff Julian, 13 special deputies and the Rowan Rifles looked interestedly on?" Senator Overman is reported to be bitterly opposed to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Condemned Man Buys Flowers For His Own Funeral COLUMBUS, O., March 11.—Leroy Taylor, 34, of Youngstown, took pains to see that proper floral offerings should grace his funeral.

Baptist Church here last Monday, T. B. Watkins was selected to alderman at the next election. He was nominated over Dr. L. V. Miller and Attorney L. A. Knox. He Can't Live And Fails In Death Attempt Henry Jones, 29, 4515 Prairie avenue, is in hard luck. He tried to get a job so he could live, but every door of opportunity seemed closed to him. Nobody would give him employment. He then decided to try the other alternative and—die. Thursday night he obtained a quantity of lwol and drank it with suicidal intent. Dr. Dawson, 4437 Prairie avenue, revived him and prevented him from dying. He was advised by friends to try suspended animation, and thereby find a happy medium between life and death. Pastor's List Of'Hell Cats' Starts Riot NEW YORK CITY, March 11.—Opposing factions of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church in Brooklyn marched to court today to tell the story of "a small-sized riot" which followed the alleged action of their pastor, the Rev. T. S. Harten of Boston, known as the "Colored Billy Sunday," in ordering read at a Sunday vesper service a list of the "hell cats" and "snakes" in his flock. When the story had been told and the court had handed down its decision, pandemonium broke loose in the courtroom, with women dancing down the aisles and men hurling their hats into the air clapping their hands. Oust Dr. Patterson Testimony showed that on Jan. 3 the Rev. Dr. Charles D. Patterson had been ousted from the pulpit by injunction, after charges had been preferred against him and that the Boston evangelist—famous for his sermon "A Hot Day in Hell" and "What the Devil Do You Want?"—had been named as his successor. Then it seems Mrs. Ella Cheatham, whose husband is chairman of the board of deacons, and who herself is one of Patterson's supporters, circulated a paper entitled "Why the Rev. Dr. Patterson is Temporarily Absent from His Pupit." On Feb. 19, it is alleged, Mr. Harten had ordered the church clerk to read about the list of "hell cats" and "snakes" who had signed the petition. Thereupon, the cheers of supporters and hisses of her opponents, Mrs. Cheatham was alleged to have marched down the aisle, snatched the paper from the clerk's hand and torn it up. Of all which led to John Dickerson, a trustee and Harten supporter, getting out a summons for Mrs. Cheatham on a charge of disorderly conduct and her appearance in court today. Her defense was that she was protecting her character. The case was dismissed. PHILADELPHIA FAIR OFFICIAL HELD ON FRAUD CHARGE PHILADELPHIA, March 11.—For the fifth time within less than two months, Charles H. Brooks, a real estate broker, who was an official of the Autumn Fair, held by colored people here last fall, was haled into court on an embezzlement charge.

True Burglar to Death in Pacific Chicago's Most Popular and Widely Read Weekly PRICE FIVE CENTS MS B SB HEIRESS TO $20,000,000 DISAPPEARS Suspect Foul Play In Disappearance of Woman Whom Court Gave Millions DALLAS, Tex., March 11. - Speculation is rife here over the disappearance of Mrs. Lillie G. Taylor, who was recently awarded $20,000,000 in oil properties by the Louisiana Supreme Court. Prior to the award Mrs. Taylor lived in a humble shack here. Until recently she had been working regularly as a house cleaner, say her neighbors. Suddenly she disappeared and no one seems to know where she has gone. It is believed in some quarters that the heiress is in Louisiana attending to matters pertaining to her oil properties. It is hinted by others that she may have become the victim of foul play. Strenuous efforts were made to keep the property from the possession of Mrs. Taylor, who is an illegitimate child of white parentage, and it is believed that she is in danger of kidnapping or violence.

The flag was presented to celebrate Bullock's release by the police Friday after Judge Snider had refused to honor a requisition for his extradition to Norlina, N. C., to be tried on charges of attempted murder. The flag ceremony was the only public celebration of Bullock's release. Plans for a huge demonstration by the population were abandoned when Bullock's counsel advised that he leave with the least possible ostentation, as he would be liable to re-arrest at any time evidence charging him with an extraditional offense should be presented by North Carolina. As he boarded the train Bullock announced that he would not remain away from Hamilton and that he would avoid publicity. He said he would stay in Canada, however. RALEIGH, N. C., March 11.—Disgust over the general attitude and resultant action of the Canadian authorities in the Matthew Bullock case was expressed by Governor Morrison after reading press reports of a planned demonstration and teast in Toronto tonight in honor of the man wanted in this state for attempted murder, who was released upon the failure of this state to send witnesses to testify orally as to his guilt. "They've made a hero in Canada of a Negro who shot down a man over 20 cents," the governor remarked. He again deplored the refusal of the Canadian authorities to accept the word of the state as to Bullock's status, considering it preposterous that affidavits submitted should not be considered sufficient proof of guilt. The liberating of Bullock is taken here as closing the case. Governor Morrison considers that he has done everything possible to bring the Negro back without putting on trial the honor and integrity of the race. "Negro societies for the protection of criminals have again proved successful in defense work," the governor said. BULLOCK IS RELEASED BY CANADIAN JURIST HAMILTON, Ont., March 11. County Judge Snider Friday released Matthew Bullock, American, who was held at the request of United States authorities for extradition to Norlina, N.C. where he is wanted on a charge of attempted murder. The Southern state refused to send witnesses to Canada to testify in extradition proceedings. The judge ruled when Bullock was rearrested two weeks ago that witnesses must be produced by North Carolina to establish a prina facie case against him. Governor Morrison of North Carolina refused to send witnesses here, and the judge held that allidavis submitted by the United States consul were not sufficient proof of the prisoner's guilt. The friends of Bullock planned to spend money raised in Toronto and other places as a defense fund on a big demonstration and feast in his honor. Bullock's case has caused international attention. Norlina authorities failed to gain his extradition at a hearing several weeks ago, when they sought him on a charge of inciting to riot. Then they began proceedings on a charge of having attempted to murder Rahey Trayler in a race disturbance which ended in the lynching of Bullock's brother. Bullock declared he feared lynching should he be returned to Norlina. Negroes and whites of both Canada and the United States have assisted the defense, retaining two attorneys to plead Bullock's case. EIGHT PAGES PRICE BULLETIN 2 PNEUMONIA ENDS CAREER OF COMEDIAN (Continued from page 1) being even a greater drawing card than Ziegfeld's far-famed, shapely limbed chorus girls. Declining health compelled him to forsake the "Follies" for a production which taxed his strength less. No figure on the American stage was impersonated more often than was Bert Williams. Every vaudeville impersonator of stage celebrities included Bert Williams in his repertoire. His pantomime of the "poker game" is familiar to thousands of theatre-goers who never saw Bert. He created a comedy method of his own, which has been imitated universally. The slow, shambling gait, the balanced intonation, the clear diction, and the skillful pauses, are familiar to theatre-goers. When the famous "comedian broke down in Detroit, the play, "Under the Bamboo Tree," in which he was starring, was immediately disbanded. No attempt was ever made to find an understudy for him. It is said that Shelton Brooke, noticing his failing health applied for the position. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Lottie Williams, formerly of Chicago. His best known songs were: "Constantly," "I Never Done Nothing to Body," "Woodman, Spare That Tree," "Nothing From Nothing Leaves Me," "When the Moonshine Shines Upon the Moonshine," "Save a Little Dram for Me," and "Puppy Dog."

The Prince is stopping at the Vincennes Hotel. In addition to be- ing a member of royal house of Ethiopia,the Prince is also Bishop of Uganda in the Coptic Church. PETER B. The Prince trows many interesting sidelights on current history in Af- rica. He speaks of the growing unrest among the natives, and predicts that Africa will throw off the European voke in a few years. He takes great pride in the fact that his own country, Abyssinia, has successfully withstood the onslaughts of European civilization down through history and up to the present age. The Prince, who is a son of the late King John, and nephew of King Menelik, is touring this country in the interest of religious work among his people. He is attempting to effect a union of native and foreign missions, believing that the work can be more effectively administered through native agencies. According to the Prince, immorality, vice, and debauchery have always followed Europeans into Africa, so that in his country, any movement fostered by Europeans is looked upon with suspicion. According to the Prince, the Coptic Church is one of the oldest of the Christian Churches. The first member of the Coptic Church was baptized in the year 42 A.D. The incident is recorded in the 8th chapter of Acts, when Phillip baptized a chamberlain, treasurer to Queen Candus, while he was on a journey from Jerusalem to Abyssinia. This chamberlain went back to Abyssinia and founded the Coptic Christian Church, which has flourished since. Prince Challouhiczilziez is a highly educated man, having received his education at Oxford and Edinburgh, and having received the degree of D.D. and Ph.D. from the University of Ethiopia at Alexandria, Egypt.

CUSTOMERS Tee O NOSEY standing at the corner of 35th and State Streets the other night marvelling at the way a bit of warm weather brought all of the idlers out on the street. He heard one of these well-dressed young men ask another if he would not come with him and go cabaretting. The other raised his hands and said, "Nothing doing. I am having a hard time keeping that old wolf away from my door." The other one sniffed and replied, "Huh, there you are worrying about keeping the wolf away from your door. Well, that same old wolf has done crawled into my house and laid down and had puppies. So what you crying about." Nosey smiled and walked on-and-on-afraid to go home for fear that the wolf might have ten while he was out in the street. ```markdown ``` ON THE CORNER of Washington and Clark, usually with back against the wall, day in and day out, each working day that the City Hall is open. Nosey has observed that a gentleman in quaint clerical garb takes his station and scrutinizes the people who pass that busy corner. Nosey watched him the other day for fully two hours trying to figure out what connection he had with the traffic squad. Nosey soon found out that the man was a preacher. He watched for couples who were coming to get a marriage license and being a phrenologist as well as a preacher he has a way of telling just which couples who pass are bent on getting married; he steps out from his traffic station and presents them with his card and his compliments. Old timers at the City Hall say that he never misses a couple. Well, this is an age of specialization. Marrying might be*considered as a specialty. . . . SOCIETY FOLKS are getting all "the tip up" over the activities of "The Committee of Five" again. It seems as though the committee has started sending out their annoying letters again trying to "drive into line" some of the erring ones. Three married ladies, five young men and two debutantes have been admonished about their conduct, both past and present. Three of the young men who are perhaps the most popular in the younger set have sharpened their knives and got down their guns determined to trace down the committee. Truth really hurts sometime. . . . EVERYONE who tells you that he has a wonderful job in the loop, may or may not be telling you the truth. Nosey was following a lady who was “interested” in a young man who had a “wonderful position” in the loop. The lady did some shopping and decided that she would drop in on her “friend” in that a loop office building. Nosey was right on her heels as he wanted to see the fire. The man saw her coming and dusting and rushed to the hall washroom and hastily put on his collar and tie and coat and rushed back just in time to prevent the lady from receiving the information that “the junior was around somewhere.” The gentleman got away with murder that time, but it was a narrow escape. . . . YOUR EYE has to be quick if you catch everything. While in our popular restaurant the other night Nosey observed a young maison at a table with three young men all of whom were single. Suddenly she rose and took a place at the next table. The front door of the restaurant opened and her husband entered. He bowed to the gentlemen and then took his seat at the table with his wife. The waitress was wise enough not to move the silver and water from the other table, but brought a new set up for the lady as she brought the gentleman's. Nosey smiled and sympathized with all—the young men, the wife and the husband. THE MAN BELOW HAS ORDERS NOT TO SPARE THE COAL PILE, but keep the IDLEWILD HOTEL 50 E. 33RD STREET, Chicago, III.

Sunday Evening Club, Charles A. Griffin was twice honored. Whilst making his response to the introduction of himself, Mr. Charles Satchel Morris, "the boy orator," suddenly turned and indicated "Charles" Griffin as the next Senator to the State Assembly from the First Senatorial District. This was immediately followed by continuous applause from the church and political contingent present. It is a well-known fact that Mr. Griffin came very nigh landing high political positions upon previous occasions. Also it is public information that no business man in Chicago has done more in religious activities than Mr. Griffin and the group of officers associated with him. The great cry from the religious voters has become "Why not back a man whose business and social work stands side by side with his religious activities in merit?" z After the meeting Sunday hundred came forward to shake the hand of "Charley" Griffin. Their votes are assured. His record will bear well under the searchlight. His only opponent is Senator Adolph Marx (white).

Glenwood The Coming Cemetery of Chicago and Cook County Mount Glenwood Cemetery, located twenty-two miles south of the City Hall, between the villages of Thornton and Glenwood, contains one hundred and three acres, more or less, of land which has been improved at an expense of Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000) Dollars, which improvements consists of landscaping, macadam roadways, trees, shrubbery, three sets of ornamental iron gates, a chapel and superintendent's quarters with modern improvements. Thorn Creek runs through the cemetery, adding greatly to the natural beauty of the grounds. The cemetery is surrounded by a county forest preserve and thereby receives the benefit of the natural beauty of those tracts. The cemetery contains fifty thousand lots, of which approximately fifteen thousand have been sold, and twenty-two thousand additional lots are to be sold within a six-month period commencing February 1, 1922. The remaining lots will be divided up into single graves for single burials for the future. One-half of the cemetery has been fully developed, laid out, beautified and completed. The same work on the remaining portion will be finished in the early summer of 1922. A complete waterworks will be built and in operation about that time, for the purpose of supplying water throughout the cemetery. Lots up to and including the present time have been sold at prices ranging from $75.00 to $400.00. There were no lots sold for any less than $75.00 since the present milpromovements were completed. It is now proposed by officers of the cemetery to sell the twenty-two thousand lots for the flat price of $50.00 each, instead of $75.00 and upwards, as heretofore. These lots are to be sold on the installment plan. The purchaser will pay $10.00 down upon the signing of the contract and $10.00 or more per month until the full purchase price is paid. In addition to title to the lot the purchasers shall each receive two shares of stock for each lot purchased by them, which stock is now being sold for $15.00 per share. The lot owners will have a double interest in the cemetery, that of lot owner and that of stockholder. As a part of the revenue of the company about $1.50 per year will be collected from each lot owner as a fixed expense for watering the lots and cutting the grass for the purpose of keeping the cemetery in first-class condition. This is a sum considerably less than is usually charged by other cemeteryes for like services. It cannot be too strongly emphasized and borne in mind that while the cemetery is one of the most beautiful and attractive in the City of Chicago and its environs, yet the price of $50.00, not to include the stock bonus which is easily worth $30.00, represents about 25 per cent of the selling of lots in the average cemetery. Do not fail to secure one of these choice lots while they last. It is the coming Oak Woods of cemeteries in this city. Every family and householder should own a lot thereby providing for the future of our bereaved ones just as we do in everything else. Agents will call and see you upon request and furnish full information. Call the office by Phone Victory 6254 or visit our office at 3125 S. State Street. Come and select a choice lot while you can.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS Wills Smashes Way Through Norfolk One Step Nearer Dempsey By George B. Underwood NEW YORK, March 4-11 Jack Dempsey is as the little birdies say, preparing to take a steamer to Europe and latten the exchequer with a theatrical tour and a June match with Carpenter,ditching the proposed match with Wills entirely or postponing it independently in hopes of something coming up to prevent it, many will consider him a wise young man. The distance between the poles is not greater than the difference between a match with Carpenter and a clash with Wills—the Harry Wills who knocked out Kid Nortfolk after twentys-night seconds of boxing in the second round at Madison Square Garden last night. Dempsey never has taced a man the equal of the giant, but lithe and sinous black man, strong as he is big fast as he is strong and as accurate in hitting as he is powerful, whose double right hand band palm to heart and wafted Nortik like the proxerical panache soon after the gong had signalled the start of the second round. The punches were so swift terrific shot in so short, with the men's bodies slitting off the view, except to those who happened to be at just the right angle, that a majority of the spectators did not know what Nortik had been hit with. They only saw the smaller negro litted in the air and sent hurtling backward with such force that his head figuratively bounced on the padded and canvassed oaken boards. It only was natural that some of the naturally suspicious ones, as well as those who had been made suspicious by rumors and reports that preceded the contest should shake their heads at one another and remark: "I never saw a punch landed." For the benefit of those who did not happen to be at the angle where the finishing blows delivered by Wills could be seen, exactly what happened as seen by the writer, and which facts are supported by both Referee William (Kid) McPartland and Judge Arthur McGovern, rolls. The Knockout When the men came together at the start of the second round Wills laced in a left-hand upright Norfolk torc in close and pounded the body. As the black arms were swishing and black heads bobbing at close quarters, Wills, who carries his right arm low and close to his body in what the fighters call "cocked" position suddenly drove in his black boulder of a flat. The glove, not traveling more than four inches, crushed into Norfolk's mid section, just under the ribs on the left side. Quick as a flash Wills turned the blow upward to the jaw, catching Norfolk, already weakened by the body smash, flush on the point. The power behind the punch was terrific. It lifted the smaller Negro off his feet and turned him in the air so his head struck the ring canvas with a thud. When Norfolk struck the floor his mouth was wide open and his eyes collled back so scarcely nothing but the whites showed. We were close enough to have reached over and touched the kid. His eyeballs looked just as those of the late Mickey Shannon did the night that unfortunate boxer accidentally was killed through his head coming into contact with the boards in the ring in Newark. Dr. Walker, the official physician of the State Athletic Commission, was so startled by the look of Norfolk's eyes that he exclaimed excitedly, "I'm afraid he'll never get up! I'm afraid he'll never get up!" The minute Norfolk went down Judge Arthur McGovern, who officiated as auxiliary timekeeper, arose and started calling off the seconds by the watch. Referee McPartland accompanying him. At "six" Norfolk writhed convulsively and rolled over on his stomach, pawing wildly at the canvas. Instinct brought him to his feet just as the count was completed. Dr. Walker was so afraid that McPartland might not have realized the count was over before Norfolk was on his feet, and so might permit him to continue, that he cried: "You counted him out, McPartland! Look out for him! Look out for him! He's still in a bad way!" Norfolk babbled in coherently as McPartland helped him to his corner. He still was "punch-drunk" and did not know what he was doing. Yet so much animal vitality and health did the splendidly conditioned Norfolk possess that he came around all right in his corner. A thin stream of blood that trickled from the corner of his mouth from a cut inside of the mouth was about the only visible effect of the terrific finishing blow delivered by Wills. The giant Wills, trained as we never have seen him before, there not being an ounce of superfluous flesh, but every atom of the 2113% pounds he carried being sheer bone and muscle, out classed his 170-pound opponent from the start. It was apparent by the way Nortolk trembled as he stood posing for the photographers before the bell that he realized the great handicap he was under. Wills enjoyed a superiority of 3554 pounds in solid lightning weight and an added advantage in reach and height. Nortolk's actions also indicated that the bout was to be waged strictly on its merits and was not to be governed by any of the secret agreements that frequently are made between ring gen- men of color. Wills backed up his great weight and punching power with wonderful speed and agility. Little and snewy, he handled his great bulk with a feline, animal grace. He is well named, "The Black Panther." No boxer ever boasted a more appropriate nom de guerre. We never looked upon a more physically formidable fighting man than last night's winner. He was so trim and lime-one, tapered so from shoulder to waist and was so lean of limb that he seemed to believe the fact that he tipped the beam at 2115 pounds. Wills at Trigger Edge The muscles writhed like live things across his great arms and shoulders and stood in hard ridges under the ebony sheath of his broad back. He tapered in almost feminine contour to the waist, the front of which was of that corrugated "washboard" appearance unpholstered with a single ounce of fatty tissue. He was lean and wry as a pit bulldog, trained to the trigger edge. Wills in action was a revelation. He was twice as fast as he was when he fought Fulton in Newark a year ago. He had not worked a minute last night when it dawned upon us that Wills must have been under a pull in the first two rounds with Fulton and that he must have "carried" the Minnesota Plasterer through the first two rounds. The Wills of last night would have battered Fulton to helplessness inside of thirty seconds. It Wills enters the ring against Dempsey with the same nerve and confidence with which he opposed Nortok last night he will whip the champion. Harry is bigger, stronger, faster and a harder puncher than Jack. If Dempsey retains the title it will be through bulldog courage and the mental edge. Outgaming Wills seems to be the lone quality that will retail the title for Dempsey ifack and Harty ever crawl into the same roped square at the same time. Dempsey will have to take second-hand evidence of what transpired last night. Jack had intended being at the ringside to get a peek at his only logical rival in action. But Father Time frustrated the plans. Wills and Norliot were scheduled to enter the ring at 10 o'clock, but knockouts in the preliminaries cleared the decks for the main go at 9:17 o'clock. It was about 9:30 when the two swing into action. And the knockout came four minutes and twenty-eight seconds later. The Opening Round After a few seconds of boxing early in the first round, in which Norfolk got inside and worked on the body, Wills hooked a left to the head and crossed with his right. A second later he repeated the stunt. Norfolk kept holding. On the break Wills held his arms high over his head. Norfolk suddenly slid in close and employing a pretty shift laced a terrific left to the jaw. It would have floored the average heavyweight. It only riled Wills. Harry lashed a leit to the body and a right to the head, and Norfolk took it on the run. Wills glided across the ring and lashed out with a long leit and right, which Norfolk failed to block or evade. Norfolk got in close and held desperately. Again on the break Wills stepped back with his huge arms waving aloft. "You don't have to do that, Harry," snapped Referee McPartland. "What do you think you're doing, swimming?" "I'm not taking any chances of being accused of hitting in the breakaway," replied Wills. Before the bout, when the men were getting their instructions, Leo Flynn, Norfolk's manager, apparently trying to "get Wills' goat," kept up a flow of talk against hitting on the breaks. That was why Wills kept doing the arm waving stunt. He feared an attempt would be made to disqualify him for alleged illegal hitting. After the break on the last-named clinch in the first round, Wills nailed Norfolk with an overhand right, knocking him off his feet. Norfolk was up before the count was started. Wills landed another overhand right and then lashed out with a club-like left that sent Norfolk reeling the whole length of the ring. A second later Norfolk landed an unintentional low left. After a clinch Norfolk jabbed with his left. Wills missed with a left at the bell. AS KID NORFOLK FELL THE WEEKLY NEWS PHILLIPS LOSES IN SEMI FINALS FOR CAGE HONORS PHILLIPS LOSES IN SEMI FINALS FOR CAGE HONORS The last Wendell Phillips quintette winners in the central section of the city basket league, and conquerors of Parker High winners in the southern division, who have been going all season at a clip that rivalled the speed of the now historic Titanic vessel came to a similar halt Friday afternoon at the Harrison Gymn when they were forced to accept the short end of a 15-14 score from Lane Tech before a capacity crowd. It was a great game well worth journeying to see. The writer went and was both glad and sorry. Glad because we saw an exhibition of basket ball that equalled any ever staged in the history of Chicago cageing. Sorry because Phillips, whom we have learned to claim as our own, mostly because the team is composed almost exclusively of race players lost. However, one team had to lose and it may have well been Phillips as Lane for after all they are both our teams. You are probably awaiting the familiar remark, "The better team won." This we do not concede, nor do we admit the better team lost. Oh! no, far be it from such, but the idea we mean to convey to you, is, had the contest been staged in the kind of gynum that we expected to see at the West Side School things might have been different. We say this straight from the shoulders without favoring either team. On a better floor Lane might have sunk a few more basket winning by a larger score, on the other hand Phillips might have scored the necessary basket to win the game, in fact a thousand things might have happened. We know not what, but we do say it was not the place for a championship contest. Now regardless of circumstance, this story would hardly be complete without saying a word about Merkle, the sterling little forward on the Lane team, who scoring seven free throws out of as many chances besides registering two baskets from the field both long shots from difficult angles was easily the outstanding star of the game. The low ceiling seemed to have worried Spears most, the lanky center always good for four or five baskets was able to score only one Friday, Spears makes most of his baskets by long shooting and the condition of the gymnast made this very difficult. This defeat put Phillips out of the running leaving Lane and Austin to compete in the finals.

All of the above men have sent in signed contracts and report that they are ready to start training April 1 when the club will begin the process of ironing all kinds in the players who are to carry the banner of the Cleveland city this season. Manager Taylor states that there are only one or two men yet to sign and that he expects to have these signed contracts in his safe before another week passes. President Geo. J. Tate has been elected vice-president of the league to replace the late C. L. Taylor. ENGLEWOOD BOY SETS NEW MARK IN 50 YARD DASH ENGLEWOOD BOY SETS NEW MARK IN 50 YARD DASH The annual high school meet held at Bartlett Gymnasium Friday and Saturday saw quite a few records broken, but the feature of them all was the setting of a new mark in the 50-yard dash by Washington of Englewood. This youngster being the favorite because of his showing in recent buets, ran true to form, winning the race with Yarnell of Hyde Park who finished second almost a lap behind. The time was 05:2/5 the record being 0:5/4/5 was slashed two-ninths. Washington looks like, another Howard Drew, the bad seems to have everything that goes to make a runner after his race we went over to talk to him, and he seemed as fresh as before running. Besides breaking this record Washington won the three broad jumps, making him a total of ten points and individual honors for the senior meet. Watson of Lane was another point getter winning the high jump from a field of strong competition at five feet six inches. Washington was entered in the relay team race and set a good pace getting away with a big lead, but his DOUGLAS MILLINERY 3216 S. STATE STREET For SNAPPY HATS!!

C's INDIANAPOLIS, IND., March. 9- Formal announcement was made last Saturday to the effect that Ben Taylor, brother of the late C. L. Taylor, and star 1st baseman of the A. B. C. Club would lead the club during the 1922 season. This announcement, made to a representative of the National Sport Writers Association, was expected by those who follow the fortunes and doings of the game. All who know Ben Taylor feel that he will prove highly successful with the reins of the club and wish him good luck. When interviewed at his office, 440 Indiana Ave last Saturday, Mr. Taylor said: "Barring unforeseen accidents we should have one of the best years experienced by the club, and with the pitching staff, which has been a source of much worry to us heretofore materially strengthend we have no fear for the opening of the playing season. It looks as if we are going to start the season with at least five reliable, pitchers, and if we are successful in developing at least one of the young hurlers in the spring training we will be perfectly satisfied. "Of course, our club is not as strong as we wish to have it, but if a few of the youngsters come through we should breeze along neck and neck with the other clubs in the circuit. Don't think tho, that we are claiming any pennant. We are not. However, don't be surprised if we cop the old flag at the end of the season." "The league," said Mr. Taylor, "is going to have a great season despite the industrial depression that looms upon the horizon." He also thinks, "this season will prove the loyalty of the players to the owners as several clubs are contemplating cuts in salaries, and, if the men are willing to meet the owners half way they will find that in the end the owners will meet them more than half way. Of course, the salary question must be settled, and it might just as well be settled now and wiped off the slate." Charleston Case Probably Will be Bone of Contention There is much discussion here at present as to the status of Oscar team mates were not able to keep the pace and Hyde Park won. Blanchett, Hyde Park, colored basket star, was the prime factor in winning this race as it was he who overtook the runner who succeeded Washington for Englewood putting his team in front. 7 Charleston. Some have it that he is to play with the local club the coming season, while the others say he will remain in St. Louis with the ST. LOUIS GIANTS. Speaking of the case, Mr. Taylor said: "There, is nothing definite to say concerning the case of Charleston as yet, but we hope to soon have the matter cleared up and then we will issue a statement to the press. At this time we can say nothing more, only that the A. B. C. club consider Charleston as their property." Charleston, who is now managing the winter league club playing in California states that he is willing to do a local uniform any time the word is given. With Al Monroe Everything seems to be settled for the Dempsey-Wills match except the spectators. In which case we are reminded of the boat without a stream. If the promoters think a Wills-Dempsey fight will not draw, why not call a meeting of the National Bootleggers Association charge each member 25c admission, and stage the fight as an entertainment for the delegates, which sounds good, but where in the 'ell are you going to find a place large enough to hold them? Wills K.O.'s Norfolk with "invisible" punch. This may be true, but according to the Kid himself, the punch was certainly not infeelable. Remember the prediction: "Phillips to play in the semi-finals is cope, but heating Lane is something else again." Any wonder about our getting chesty? Phillips tried hard to win especially in the second half, but it was no use the cards were simply stacked against them. Morgaridge, the Lane center, stuck as close to Spears as the Proverbial Leech. The American Giants will soon start their spring training, it's nice to train in the spring, but from the looks of the Giants' new roster, most of the National League teams will be in training whenever they reach Chicago. Spring hath come, spring has come, or spring is come, we aren't just sure which. But one thing we do know, you remove one pair the british. The Harrison Gymn is no place for a basketball meet of importance, but it would make a wonderful place to hold a marble tournament. The ceiling would be out of your way and everything. Jack Johnson wants to fight Dempey, and if heaten doesn't expect a cent. Sounds like a furniture stereo advertisement.

Death has taken away Charles Young, the soldier, and Egbert Williams, the comedian, both American black men. These men reached the heights in their chosen vocations. One fought upon the gory fields of battle and marched thru "the valley of the shadow," wading in blood and tears for his country's sake, while the other made his countrymen forget for a moment the grim realities and the drab monotones and live in life's lighter vein. While Young fought and inspired the fighting spirit of America, Williams laughed and made America laugh with him. Now these men have passed on. Young was a peerless soldier and Williams a matchless comedian. They were peers in their chosen spheres and when we consider their endeavors as they pass on we do not gaze up in near so much wonderment to the heights which they reached as we do when we gaze down into the dismal depths from which they rose. Young and Williams were descendants from the lowly—from slaves. Their ancestors knew the iron heel of persecution and injustice. Their mothers and fathers had felt and worn shackles and fetters. Freedom and liberty were unknown to them. Their ignorance and poverty was pitiful. They had no silver spoons to place in the lusty mouths of their young sons. The only legacies that they could bequeath to them were the tragic tales of suffering and sorrow. Young and Williams had neither fulcrum nor lever to raise themselves and they could hardly find a place in the world upon which to stand, but they made places and through the eventful years of their lives they proved that even out of the marshes that lilies can grow. Col. Young and Egbert Williams lived "within the veil," the veil which envelops and enshrouds the black men of America. They were men upon whom the curse of American prejudice bore heavily. Young's West Point and army life was fraught with obstacles, setbacks and rebuffs; he was truly a man with a burden, but notwithstanding he veritably lifted himself by his own bootstraps. The world knows how the darts of discrimination and injustice pierced his very soul. Young, the soldier, was heavy-hearted, even thru his wonderful altruism and upon the fields of battle the valorous and loyal fighter bore a heavy heart. "Bert" Williams, upon leaving the Bermuda Islands, his early home, found the United States, just as Col. Young could have told him, a land where disillusionment and disappointment lurked in every turn, but notwithstanding from the gasoline lamps flicker upon the old medicine man's wagon, his name has sparkled and danced to the calcium twinkle of Broadway's lights. The agony of his stern fight is known to all. How he was spurned and scoffed at by performers of lighter skin, but, like the historical heroes, he smiled blandly in the face of torture. By sheer superiority and unfaltering will, Williams rose to highest pinnacles in American comedy. He was a great actor. It is a wonderful feat to smile and laugh professionally when the heart is heavy. Yet so supremely did "Bert" Williams play his part that most of the world was deceived and imagined that he took like as a great comedy, but to "Bert" life was really a tragedy. Ashton Stevens, famous critic and friend of "Bert's," writing for the white world, created a bit of surprise when he wrote of the comedian's mournful moods. He told how stern and serious Williams was with his closest friends. Stevens knew, even tho he did not say it, that Egbert Ashton Williams, world renowned funnyman, lived in the enthralling and pathetic pall of American prejudice. From the depths did these men rise and their memories will be honored, reckoned and sung. To their brothers in black and blood inspiration is given which fires their ambition and stirs up their lethargic blood. The achievements of Col. Young and "Bert" Williams gives greater determination and sterner ambition. Their lives will be incentives to those who dwell in the shadows to fight on and scale the heights and then force the world to stand still for a moment as they pass on. Young and Williams will not be soon forgotten or replaced.

However, adult disease at any time, although it is rarely seen in old age, in children between the ages of two and twelve, but the being between the second and twelfth years. Children who have adenoids, large or diseased tonsils and chronic inflammation of the nose and throat, or deformities of the septum of the nose, are more likely to contract the disease than others. Diphtheria is distributed practically all over the world and is endemic at all times, although it seems to show a preference for northern climates and for the cold, damp winter months. Sudden changes in temperature from warm to cold seem to affect the incidence and the mortality of the disease. This is due to the fact that catarrhal conditions of the nose and throat, which result from a sudden fall in temperature, and which favor the lodgment and the growth of the diphtheria germ in these parts. This disease is in no way dependent on social conditions as it affects the rich as well as the poor, the white as well as the black.

As diphtheria is such a dangerous disease, especially when the diagnosis is not made early, everyone should acquaint his or herself with the following general knowledge of the trouble: 1. Diphtheria is catching; it can be caught from the so-called diphtheria carrier. 2. The exact cause of this disease is known and in all cases of sore throat in children it is best to have the throats examined for the causative germ. 3. If diphtheria is present it can always be cured by injecting diphtheria antitoxin early in the case. 4. Diphtheria is not only curative, but it can be prevented from occurring in children by injecting what is called Diphtheria Toxin Antitoxin. This procedure is harmless and is 98 per cent efficient. So wonderful is this product that the Health Commissioner of Chicago has declared: "With this armamentarium it is criminal negligence on someone's part to have diphtheria in Chicago." UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP Women are wonderful creatures. True enough, they are the builders of men; and still truer, behind the career of every great man can be found the tender, guiding influence of some gentle woman, yet women ruin and wreck men with the same arts and wiles that they use to make them. Their influence for evil is just as powerful as it is for good and occasionally we find women in position to render high inspiration to men groveling in the depths and seeking to espouse the cause of Satan. Miss Alice Robinson, Republican Congresswoman from Oklahoma, voted against the Dyer Bill, which would make lynching a federal crime. When women, by their inaction, support murder and mob law, it is quite to be expected that men will be inspired to continue in crime. Behold, Miss Robinson, Congresswoman. When the "Bureau of Legislative Relief" was established by Henry Lincoln Johnson and his "accessories," this paper pointed out that it was a job-seekers' bureau. What can we point to that they have accomplished or that they sought to accomplish since its ill-fated birth? The information reaches us that Federal employees in Washington are forced to eat in the room where cuspidors are cleaned and refuse is deposited. We wonder why the "Bureau of Legislative Relief" has not registered a complaint. It seems that it is the twilight of the "pork chop" leaders for every day we read the expressions of black editors scoring and condemning the actions of "Linc" Johnson and Co. The Whip was the first paper to see their sin, but it appears that the Washington Tribune, the St. Louis Argus, the Dallas Express, the Louisville News, the Crisis, the Messenger, the Crusader and many other publications have awakened to the passing of the Uncle Tom. "gimme-job" leaders. In last week's issue the editor was in error when he wrote that admission price to hear the cackling of Roscoe Simmons would be thirty-five cents. We wish to beg our readers' pardon and indulgence. Fifty cents, instead of thirty-five cents, will be charged to hear the "jewel of a race and the pride of a nation." Can you beat it? Roscoe Cackling Simmons, the jewel of his race. If anybody is foolish enough to pay fifty cents to hear Roscoe Simmons they should lose their money, because some "people" soon part from their money, anyway. A. S. S. Real Estate Department Real Estate Department While the morning papers announce the fact that there is no sound basis upon which landlords can raise the rents this spring, a little information comes to the writer's attention. Two gentlemen, brothers presumably, owing to the similarity of names, are said to have purchased a large building at the corner of 32nd and Cottage Grove avenue. The former owner, a Jew by the way, has been collecting the sum of thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents for the apartments in the building. When the new owners came into possession they straightway informed the tenants by way of the sixty-day notice route that on and after May 1st this year of our Lord the rent for the said apartments will be sixty-seven dollars and fifty cents per thirty days, more or less, a raise of eighty per cent—doesn't look as though the high cost of being respectable is coming down. Some day the renters will wake up to the fact that they should have something to say about the situation; they will put their money where it will do them the most good.

Mr. Douglas is a young man with a peerless record. His friends will lay odds that he go down the stretch far in the lead of the other candidates. Alderman Louis B. Anderson, Mayor Thompson's floor leader, has gone to Washington in company with the famous Oscar DePriest. As yet the purpose is not known, but it is deep stuff.

Attorney Eugene Marshall and Senator Samuel Ettleson are certainly under good advice when DePriest takes over their affairs.

A man familiar with Eur. as well as with that of England and his own country, it is interest that in this, his last book, he sings of America's most terrible of lynching.

A man familiar with European thought as well as with that of England and his own country, it is interesting to note that in this, his last book, he sings of America's most terrible sin, the crime of lynching.

For after all, it is only when a race criticises itself that much good comes of the criticism. "The Lynching Bee" appeared first in the Nation and has now become the title poem for a volume of verse.

The whole volume portrays a passionate resentment against wrong, expressed with the arrogacy of the poet. I recread the "Lynching Bee" last night and did not enjoy my dreams. It is an extraordinary poem, intensely modern, and yet lyrical in its expression. Here is no tree verse enthusiast pouring out cadences, but a skilled rhmester, exquisitely precise in his use of words, who yet knows how to tell a story in verse that has more power to stir our vision than any moving picture. Nothing thrown on a screen could be more realistic or more full of suspense. "Honk, honk" go the automobiles. "Honk, honk!" Whose limbs and leaves are covered out of sight Quite jerky, but all silent down inside." The poet suggests that perhaps they do not mean to lynch the boy after all. Perhaps they will just play with him, and he recites all the buffoonery that the white man loves to show off in the black, the wagging of ears, the wrinkling of scalp, the butting of a thick skull against a tree trunk. "Not so, they pay a chain out, link by link." Then they tie him against a tree, stripped, and snear him with hot tar. And again you are held in suspense with the question that perhaps they have a bag or two of feathers, and mean only to tar and leather him? But no. "With rags, and straw, and sticks, and other toys. In run the women-folk and girls and boys." And last comes the mother, the mother of the dead child, who is to light the match. She looks into the black face. "And the two glare and glare. At one another. In two eternities of hate and pain. Yet with such monstrous union in despair. Such hideous sameness in their haggard shapes. The one, the other. That you would say the twain. Seemed like a savage sister and twin brother. Dying of hunger out among the apes." For what Leonard shows is not an innocent Negro but a criminal neglected creature, made a brute by his surroundings. And when at length we hear the boy's shrieks, the poet retails the agony of the life of the African brought to this land. And last comes the mother, the mother of the dead child, who is to light the match. She looks into the black face' Seemed like a savage sister and twin brother Dying of hunger out among the apes."

And when at length we hear the boy's shrieks, the poet retails the agony of the life of the African brought to this land. "The human ladings at the western coast, The Slave-ship, and the storm at sea, The million sweats, the million bloody whips, The million ankles, festering in a cord— The unborn baby still between the hips, The bent gray head along the rice-swamp humming, 'O Massa Gawd, I'm coming." At last the victim dies, the motor cars back around the embers, and you are left with the whites, "wolves, or wolf-like things," pawing in the cinders, and snatching a bit of rib or skull or crup. "They wrap them up, And putter around about, And chuckle. And foot it off and down the road, Past the weasel, skunk, and toad, The barnyard rat, The hooting owl and the whirring bat." "I can't read such a poem," many people say. And this is the Poet's answer, the answer that we all like to make when we are confronted with terrible things that we should remedy. At last the victim dies, the motor cars back around the embers, and you are left with the whites, "wolves or wolf-like things," pawing in the cinders, and snatching a bit of rib or skull or crump. Attorney Richard E. Westbrooks probably the most successful of the younger lawyers, is a candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court. Westbrooks is widely known in the city he was a candidate for alderman a couple of years ago and surprised the city with his excellent showing. He is president of the Cook County Bar Association and holds the respect of every lawyer in the city. He will be supported by all factions and should be because he is fitted for the position and his constituency has no representative upon the bench. Westbrooks will run well. Adelbert Roberts is beginning to hustle up in the race for the legislature. Mr. Roberts is a man whose public record bears well the close scrutiny and those who consider it cannot feel feeling proud of him. His record bears neither blemish nor blot. There are some things that stand above party affiliations. The intrinsic value of the man should make the public consider him separate and distinct from his affiliations and pay tribute to him because of service rendered "Dell" Roberts is a gentleman and is square with his race. Who will lay a little bet that he does not succeed himself as a member of the 53rd Illinois Assembly. Wm. H. Huff, now being styled Senator Huff, is certainly making the race hot for Mr. Ettleson, present encumbrent. Huff has issued his pledge cards and his workers are shouting his deadly propaganda everywhere. Mr. Huff opposes high rents, bombs the Ku Klux Klan and cheap, dishonorable leadership. Huff bears watching. The resonant and pleasing voice of BY They stop—they jerk—they chug And in a monstrous ring they park Then they bring their victim.
