Arrest Roscoe Simmons In Church Pulpit SUES SAUNDERS FOR DIVORCE PRICE 5 CENTS SUES TIE PREACHER ACROSS LOG, BEAT HIM Georgia Governor Is Making Personal Probe Of Outrage ATLANTA, Ga., March 11.—A mob of twelve to fourteen masked white men seized the Rev. B. N. Henningsham, a Methodist minister, took him to the woods near the town of Winder, Bartow County, and flogged him unmercifully, after stripping his clothes from his body last week. Rev. Henningsham, who is a British subject, came to this country from Kingston, Jamaica. A delegation of ministers headed by the Rev. R. H. Singleton, of Big Bethel A. M. E. Church, went before the governor of the state and demanded an investigation. Preacher Tells Story The mob victim's story of the affair is as follows: "They came to a colored man's home by the name of Oscar Bergainy, where I, Rev. Heningham, was giving him elementary training, about 8 o'clock p. m., March 6, 1922. Seized me without a moment's warning dragged me from the house. Bar headed and placed me in an automobile and drove about ten miles toward Gainesville, Ga. While on the way I asked them what I had done to be punished and they answered by holding pistols on me and shapping me in the face: 'We will tell you what you have done; your damned Catholic bishop came here preaching Catholicism and got away before we could get him. Then he sent you here with your Catholic doctrine, educating these damned Negroes and making them worse. When we get through with you, your bishop nor no one else will come here preaching that damned Catholic stuff." When they reached about the ten-mile point, they took me out of the automobile and carried me into the woods and stripped me of my pants and placed me over a log and heat me with something like a leather strap until one of them said that was enough. Then they made me get up and told me to run and not look back or they would shoot me dead. "They told me never to be seen at Winder anymore, if so, they would kill me." "I was compelled to walk eight miles back to the home of one of my members through a heavy rainstorm, bareheaded. They robbed me of the money I had, which was 89.7% and took my clergy book my tergament and other articles. "On March 7, 1922, I went to some of my members and they raised money to help me get out of Winder. "I am a Methodist and know but very little about any other doctrine, and have had no cause to preach Catholicism to my people. No one, white or colored, in Winder can testify that I have ever gone a thing of the kind since I have been pastoring there. I feel that it is the greatest outrage ever perpetrated on my life. "I am from the British West Indies, Island of Kingston, Jamaica. (Signed) "B. N. Henningham." Henningham told the governor he went from Rome to Winder in November, preaching his first sermon the first Sunday in December. He knows nothing about the Catholic church, he said and had never been in one more than twice in his life. He has never all any trouble before, and the "elementary training," referred to the elephant giving the barber, Oscar Berny, was spelling, arithmetic, grammar and like studies, merely in an effort to help him improve himself. The men who attacked him, he said, were not dressed in gowns, but all were overalls of the same kind, and each wore a mask over his face, some if the masks were white and others blue. He readily recognized they were white men from the flesh he could see through the holes around the eyes, and from the hands of the men, which were uncovered. It would be impossible he said, for him to identify any of them, because of the fact that they were so completely and successfully ignised. Direction has been given by Governor Hardwick that the matter must "A PAPER WITH A POLICY" The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY Man Survives 11 Shocks In Death Chair LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 18. James Wells, 18 years old, died early Friday morning in the electric chair at the State pentitentary after eleven unsuccessful attempts had been made by an inexperienced electrician to electrocute him. The twelfth attempt, according to witnesses, was successful. Going to the chair singing and without assistance, he continued to sing until the first charge of electricity was sent through his body. After the electricity had been allowed to remain on a few moments, it was taken off and Wells was examined by the state physician who pronounced him still alive. Another charge of electricity was sent through his body, but with the same results. Witnesses began to leave the death room and convicts who assisted in strapping Wells in the chair also left. Only a few witnesses were present when the last charges of electricity were sent through his body and Wells was finally pronounced dead by the state physician. Fully 20 minutes were consumed in putting the boy to death. Wells was convicted of killing Peter Trent, a German farmer, near Monticello. Wells was one of the convicts who escaped with Tom Slaughter. 2000 Pay Tribute To Col. Young Sunday afternoon at Wendell Phillip's High School, fully two thousand people attended the memorial service held for Col. Charles Young, whose remains will soon be returned to this country from Liberia. Fifty statesmen, officers of the army (active and retired) and ministers from the large churches were assembled upon the rostrum with Morris Lewis (chairman committee) and W. D. Cook, director of the Center, to witness the address by Col. Climlin, U. S. district attorney, as principal speaker. Other addresses were made by the alderman, Louis B. Anderson, Col. Otis B. Duncan and the commander of the Spanish War Veterans. Two hundred "Vets" of Spanish War, in uniform were present to render a farewell complimentary salute. The band of the old Eighth Regiment furnished the music. The Umbrian Glee Club sang a great number, whilst the solo by Miss Roberta D. Crawford was a big feature. Other addresses and special numbers. A fund is to be raised to erect a monument to the first of his race to reach the distinction of colonel in the United States Regular Army. Kidnap Boy To Get Oil Lease PONCA CITY, Okla., March 9. Authorities are investigating the mystery surrounding an automobile they found on which the motor numbers had been changed and which contained several men, three of whom were white, holding Nathan Williams in captivity at the point of guns. Williams maintains that he is being kept away from home until he is over 21 years of age, in order that an oil man may get a lease on his allotment in Creek County. His captors are said to have been paid $100 each to kidnap him and take him into the country until he is old enough to sign the lease. Williams' properties are said to be very valuable and there is a mad scramble among oil speculators to get the boy to sign the lease as soon as he becomes of age. Mays Still Hopes For Commutation KNOXVILLE, Tenn., March 14. Hope is still being held out that Gov. Taylor will commute to life imprisonment the death sentence of Maurice Mays, who is sentenced to be executed March 15. Persons interested in the case are compiling evidence to present to the governor that some other person than Mays committed the crime. be just as completely probed as is possible, and every means at command must be used to identify the men in the attacking party. ORATOR IS NABBED ON PLATFORM Deputies Listen To Flow Of Oratory Then Make Arrest CONVICTION OF CRIPPLE SHAMES DIXIE Whole State Rallies To Save Gripple Who Slew Man To Satisfy Whim of Lovers Rossep Conkling Simmons, noted writer and lecturer, was unceremoniously arrested and thrown into jail Monday night after lecturing to a crowded house at Bethel A. M. E. Church. Mr. Simmons was under arrest practically throughout the time he was on the platform. Deputy sheriff in the audience waited until he had completed his lecture and put him under arrest as he was about to step from the platform. He secured legal advice in the church and repaired to the office of an attorney without creating any commotion. Very few of the persons present knew what was taking place. Mr. Simmons was arrested on a capias or body execution to satisfy a judgment against him in the sum of $8,000. The judgment is said to have grown out of a damage suit against the orator in connection with an injury to a white boy from an automobile in which Mr. Simmons was riding. The accident in which the boy was injured is said to have occurred more than a year ago. He was scheduled to speak in Cleveland, Ohio, Tuesday night. At a late hour Tuesday the orator was still in custody. EX-HAITI MINISTER TO FRANCE, IS IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, CITY, March 18.—Georges Sylvain, former Haitian Minister to France, officer of the Legion of Honor, officer of Public Instruction in France, who recently arrived in New York, today announced he had received word from his country of the imprisonment for 6 months at hard labor of Phiteas Lemaire, editor of the Courier Haitien, a newspaper published in Port au Prince. In a statement issued at the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, Mr. Sylvain said: "Mr. Lemaire, publisher of the Courier Haitien, was tried before a military court of the American Occupation in Haiti on 21st of February of this year and was sentenced to six months at hard labor and a fine of $300 on the 4th of March, for having received and published a news item telling of a brutal attack upon a citizen by a Haitian lieutenant of Gendarmerie. "The Courier Haitian," as its only comment on this story, said it was difficult to believe such acts could still be perpetrated in sight and knowledge of the entire population. Nothing sent to me in the report of what occurred before the military court, indicates that Mr. Lemaire was convinced that a false rumor had been spread or that there had been any refusal on his part to retract in the event the rumor might prove to have been false. "The worst feature of the imprisonments under martial law in Haiti is that the officers concerned are both judges and parties to the trials; and the hard labor invariably accompanying prison sentences has to be executed in company with the worst criminals. "That is why we insist upon the immediate abolition of martial law in Haiti." R. R. Wright Liable In Tourist Mixup PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 11. —R. R. Wright, Jr., W. H. York and the Rev. L. J. Jordan, trading as the African-American Steamship Co., were found severally liable for damages in the municipal court here last week. The steamship company advertised for sale passage in an excursion trip to Liberia, which failed to materialize. CHICAGO, SATURDAY, MARCH 18th, 1922 RALEIGH, N. C., March 18.—A one-armed, broken-framed black man—a "conjure doctor"—sentenced to die in the electric chair in the last week in March, has suddenly become an issue involving the self-respect of the Old North state. Hired by a white man and woman—Tom Hays and Sarah Whitley—to kill the woman's husband, decrepit old Wright Rouse, twisted by rheumatism and maimed by a cotton gin, has been condemned to die, while the white instigators of the capital crime have escaped with a pentitentiary term, having been convicted only of second-degree murder. Letters from all parts of the state are pouring in upon Governor Morrison demanding that the Rouse's death sentence be commuted. All of the letters are from white people. North Carolina does not lay claim to the distinction of being overly fond of some members of the colored race. A majority of the letters reaching the governor admit this, but they add: "Save the self-respect of the white people of the commonwealth." The most powerful appeal in behalf of the condemned man has come from the commonwealth's attorney that prosecuted the three defendants. He admitted the probable miscarriage of justice in the jury's verdict against the woman and her sweetheart, but he cannot endure the idea of seeing the mentally deficient black man suffer more severely than his vicious white associates. Three Respites for Condemned Man Three respites have been given the condemned man. At the outset of the agitation to save Rouse, Governor Morrison would not yield to the appeals, holding that the demand was not, as it purported to be, for an "equality of justice" but for "equality of injustice." He contended that all three persons involved in Rouse's crime deserve the death penalty and appeared determined to see that the one to whom the court had allotted that sentence was made to suffer it. But finally he granted a respite and followed it with two others. One of the possibly "mitigating circumstances" in the Rouse case is the fact that, although the $500 was promised the man for his crime, he did not get a cent. Sex Saves Woman from Chair Unquestionably it was Mrs. Whitley's sex which saved her, and indirectly saved Hays. No woman has ever sat in North Carolina's death chair. One woman was sentenced to death in recent years—also for the murder of her husband—but her sentence was committed to life imprisonment by a governor who offered as his reason that she had been a girl once and was still feminine. 18Yr. Old Boy Hanged By Mississippi Mob ABERDEEN, Miss. March 18. William Baker, 18, was hanged by a mob 10 miles from here last week. Deputy sheriffs declared the boy was taken from them while they were en route with him to jail here. Biddle University Changes Name CHARLOTTE, N. C., March 18.

Gang Rushes Copper, He Shoots 1 A gang rush aimed at Policeman John Collins, white of the Stanton Avenue Station, resulted in the probable fatal shooting of Eugene Tabor, 3714 Grand boulevard, late Saturday night at 31st street and Cottage Grove avenue. Tabor appeared on 31st street at the head of a gang of rowdies, all of whom appeared to be more or less under the influence of moonshine whiskey. As Collins attempted to arrest Tabor, his companions interered, pummeling the policeman, scratching his face and tearing his uniform. In the melee Tabor slipped from Collins' grasp and joined in the tracas. Drawing his gun, Collin stired point blank into the crowd. The bullet struck Tabor, who was foremost. The sound of the shooting threw the neighborhood into pandemonium. A riot call was sent to three police stations, who responded with wagonloads of bluecoats. In the meantime the excitement spread to the Lincoln Gardens, the patrons of which were filing into the streets. The dancers rushed back into the cabaret in much alarm. Patrol wagons in the streets gave rise to the report that the place was being raided. At the County Hospital Tabor is not expected to live. Law Firm Got $300,000 Fee In Taylor Case Law Firm Got $300,000 Fee In Taylor Case SHREVEPORT, La., March 18.—The law firm of Foster, Looney & Wilkinson, white, attorneys for Lillie Taylor, America's richest colored girl in her suit for royalties in the Homer Oil Fields, received approximately $300,000 for attorney's fees.

Pierce was a porter at the place. According to the proprietor, Pierce opened the door to the saloon and admitted his accomplice, the two of them working the combination to the safe and stealing $700. They then fled, leaving the door to the saloon standing open. Police notified the proprietor and a search was made for the missing man. He was found a short time later at the Illinois Central depot, where he had bought a railroad ticket to some point in Iowa. When placed under arrest he had $275 in his pocket. Pierce's accomplice could not be located. When arraigned in police court, he was held to the grand jury in $1,000 bond. His sole remark was that he was-homesick.

Saunders, 211 E. 45th St., have been swept into the divorce courts. Harvey Saunders is well known as the head of a string of cut-rate drug stores. Mrs. Luella Saunders is a chiropodist with offices on the 6th floor of the North American Bldg., in the Loop district. Says He Is Cruel Mrs. Saunders names cruelty as her reason for seeking divorce alleging that the druggist handled her with violence on several occasions. Mr. Saunders denies that he ever struck his wife, and comes back with a story of storm and strife dating from a few months after their marriage in 1918. He charges his wife with open hostility to his mother, Mrs. Sarah Saunders, who is 70 years of age. According to Mr. Saunders, at the time of his marriage, his wife was content to have his mother live with them, but changed her attitude within a few short months after marriaeg. On one occasion, he says, she ejected his mother from the house while he was in Indianapolis, Ind. He was finally forced to secure a home for her at 4732 Prairie Ave. Insisted On Dog In Bed Another method of making his life miserable he says, was his wife's insistence on keeping a fox terrier in bed at night. The dog was one of his gifts to her, but the situation became so unbearable, he says, that finally on one occasion he seized the dog by the scruff of the neck and hurled it from the house. He declares that this is one of the instances of cruelty of which she complains. Saunders also declares he was driven almost to distraction by his wife's belief in "hoodoofism." She was in the habit, he says, of sprinkling salt on the floor and underneath chairs and beds to dispel "his mother's hoodoo." One night, he says, he found her scrubbing the floor with salt water "to drive away spirits." Double Crossed Him In Money On one occasion, Saunders says, he gave his wife $800.00 to hold for him. Brundage Flays False Republicanism Speaking before a large audience in the Morrison Hotel, Attorney General Brundage of the State of Illinois made a scathing attack on the false ideals of opposite republican factions in Chicago. He said that purity, cleanliness and square dealing were the essence of Republicanism, but that the Thompson-Small-Lundin regime had perverted the ideals and that the party should be purged. Mr. Brundage in his official capacity has indicted Governor Small and promises that no public official shall be derelict to his duty and violate the trust that the public has placed in him and escape the punishment of the law. Many members of the black race turned out to the affair and were enlightened by the clean-cut address of the Attorney General. Some were heard to remark that Mr. Brundage would receive their vote in the hereafter, as they were convinced that clean politics would eventually solve their civic problems. EIGHT PAGES Says He Is Cruel Insisted On Dog In Bed Double Crossed Him In Money (Continued on page 3.) 2 BLACK STAR LINE BLED U. N. I. A. NEW YORK CITY, March 18.—That the "Black Star Line" literally bleed the U. N. I. A. white has been conceded by officials of the organization here. Agreement is said to have been reached to dissolve the steamship line which ate up thousands of dollars and never yielded commensurate returns. If the steamship project is given up, it is pointed out, the U. N. I. A. will be able to get on a firm business basis for the first time in its history. The excursion steamer "Kanawha," which cost about $800 per month to operate, never brought in more than $500 per month. The old and unseaworthy "Yarmouth" ran the line into thousands of dollars of debt and into numerous suits before it was finally laid up in the West Indies, where its bones are now bleaching. Insiders declare that operation of the steamship line has resulted in suits against Garvey in nearly every court in New York. Two lawyers are retained to devote all of their time to these suits. Garvey even has suits in the Admiralty Courts, where no black face was ever seen before. Laundries also Failed Garvey's idea of pushing laundries in New York is said also to have lost money for him. Competition is too keen and the white laundries do the work cheaper. The only profit, reported by his business enterprises was the string of grocery stores, which are said to have returned a handsome proft, the income from which was used to support the losing steamship lines. $40,000 in Escrow With respect to the indictment against him for fraudulent use of the mails, Garvey intends to show that he had $40,000 put in escrow for the purchase of the boat, and that there was never any intention to defraud investors.

Words finally failed to meet the situation and Jones fired at Derrit, wounding him in the head. The bullet lodged beneath the scalp. Bert Williams' Indictment Of Race Prejudice Bert Williams' Indictment Of Race Prejudice NEW YORK CITY, March 18- Percy Hammond, noted dramat critic, writing for New York and Chicago papers, has written an intimate disclosure of Bert Williams' philosophy of life. According to Mr. Hammond According to Mr. Hamilton, Bert Williams was a reticent, unobtrusive fellow who seldom could be got to talk intimately about his peculiar position on the American stage. He was not as plaintive out of the theater as in it and he contemplated his predicament philosophically. Yet his closer associates knew that his heart was heavy, Unquestionably, years ago, he was a comic artist of the first rank, doomed to a permanent environment of songs and dances, with the doors of promotion closed against him. Other artists in "revues" advanced to legitimate fame like Mr. Warfield or Barney Bernard, but he on account of his color, could not, with success, aspire to make his genius an instrument of characterization in the better fields of the theater. By the time Eugene O'Neill and Charles Gilpin proved in "The Emperor Jones" that a Negro might become a distinguished actor it was too late for Bert Williams. His ambition "had quit him and his talents had waned." It was intimated above that Mr. Williams nursed this circumstance as a private woe and was mute concerning it. But one night, in the bar of the Stratford Hotel, in Chicago, after he had been subjected to a slight humiliation by a northern man, he told me of his feeling in the matter. You may be surprised to hear that he described the frontier between him and his audience as "an American phase"; yet he talked well, having thought much. Said he, as I put it down at the time, "This may sound snobbish, though it isn't"; I'm not a native of the United States, but a West Indian, and I must take solace from my philosophy so long as I earn my livelihood in this country. The rebellion is all out of me, for I know that this is the only civilization in the world where a man's color makes a difference, other matters being equal. And you must admit that there's food for thought, not necessarily bitter, in the fact that in London I may sit in open lodge with a premier of Great Britain, and be entertained in the home of a distinguished novelist, while here in the United States, which fought four years for a certain principle. I am often treated with an air of personal and social condescension by the gentleman who sweeps out my dressing room or the gentleman whose duty it is to turn the 'spotlight on me if the stage directions call upon him to do so. I am allowed to come into the bar of a hotel, but I am forbidden to enter its dining-room.

THUGS STONE HOME OF TEACHER BALTIMORE, Md., March 18. White hoodlums and lawbreakers stoned and fired shots at the home of Harry Pratt, principal of Public School No. 113, at 1:30 Tuesday morning. A white mob composed of men and women broke out the windows, knocked the front door loose on its hinges, and otherwise maliciously and feloniously damaged the property by spattering ink on the steps and building. Bricks, pistols and bottles were used in the attack. Professor Pratt recently bought a house at 527 Sandford Place, and moved his family Saturday. The mob in their attempt to intimidate the colored man to give up his home used curses and threats. Pratt called up the police who arrived after the mob had left. None of the mob have been identified as yet. Shots fired at the house entered the bedroom of a white neighbor piercing the ceiling. Pratt refused to be driven from his home and notified the officers he would not move for a dozen mobs. Tulsa Mob Cuts Off Man's Ear TULSA, Okla., March 18—John Smitherman, a former deputy sheriff and policeman, was seized early Saturday by a band of white men, forced into an automobile, and spirited away into the country. He was found at Claremore and brought to Tulsa, when it was found that he had been severely beaten and one of his cars cut off. WALLACE CLARK CHAMPION OF ECONOMY WALLACE CLARK CHAMPION OF ECONOMY Wallace G. Clark, a native of Illinois and a resident of Chicago for 55 years, is Republican candidate for County Treasurer, one of the most important offices in the county, requiring a man of business training and executive ability. As senior member of the real estate firm of Clark & Trainer and as president of the company owning and operating the People's Trust and Savings Bank Building and as former trustee of the Sanitary District, Wallace G. Clark has demonstrated his efficient handling of large and complicated business affairs and stands out as one of Chicago's premier business men. P. Brilliant Record on Sanitary District As trustee of the Sanitary District of Chicago from 1905 until 1920, elected by the people three times to this office, Mr. Clark, by his noted service, faithfully and aggressively protected and conserved the public's interest. Through Mr. Clark's untiring and persistent efforts, spoils and mis-management were eliminated from that agency's affairs. Electrical energy for street lighting purposes was reduced by this achievement from $105.00 per are light per year to $9.38 per are light per year. Mr. Clark's executive ability in public and private life, his high conception of the public duty, the lofty standards for which he has fought, and his notable achievements in public service, qualify him above all for the big business office of County Treasurer of Cook County, requiring in its administration the application of business methods, integrity, courage and aggressive honesty.

The treaty between the United States and Liberia, it is claimed, amounts to annexation of the black republic rather than creation of a protectorate. It is said that Liberia has gone the way of Haiti, San Domingo and Porto Rico. Ministers For Shortening Funerals ATLANTA, Ga., March 17—The A. M. E. Ministers' Union decided a short nine ago to limit their funeral sermons to one hour. Undertaker David H. Howard appeared before the union and called attention to the fact that funeral sermons had been taking an extraordinary length of time and that the sermons lasted from one to five hours. Mr. Howard's unusual statement was backed up by Rev. R. H. Ward of Allen Temple Church. He is reported to have said that more than half of the colored ministers spent more time eulogizing the deal than in preaching to their flocks. A comparison was made in the course of the debate of the value of the time spent in attending funerals and its economic value if put in hard work. One speaker, himself a minister, asserted that a man could earn enough money in the time spent listening to five-hour funeral services to support two-thirds of Negro schools of the city. Most of the ministerial brethren seemed to favor the proposal and unanimously voted to limit their sermons hereafter to one hour.

Annsorge has appointed Emile T. Holley of 102 West 138th Street, to the United States Naval Academy, at Annapolis. No colored boy has ever graduated from Annapolis, nor so far as is known, has any ever been named. Congressman Annsorge announced that of the four appointees to Annapolis which he was privileged to make for the Twenty-first Congressional District, Emile T. Holley was highly recommended to him by prominent people of both races. Emile T. Holley is seventeen years of age, and was born in Aiken, S. C. May 23, 1904. When he was two years old his parents moved to New York. Several years later he entered Public School No. 89, at 134th Street and Lenox Avenue, from which he graduated with honors. While at school he was solo violinist of the orchestra, a member of the order squads, a member of the track and baseball teams, and prize speaker at the school. During the latter years' of war he was among the few chosen from his school to assist in the work at the Drift Board located in his district. He is now a freshman at the College of the City of New York. While attending Townsend Harris High School he was on the Varsity track and baseball squads and was an officer of his class. He is superintendent of the St. James Presbyterian Sunday School of 67 West 137th Street, and a member of the Boys' Executive Council of the N. M. C. A. Congressman Annsorge said, "I have tried to live up to the principle of the 'Square Deal' to all my constituents, and on that basis I feel that of the four appointments to Annapolis at my disposal, my colored constituents are entitled to one as a matter of simple justice." WARREN DOUGLAS RECOMMENDS SOL. P. RODERICK Below is a letter to voters from Hon Warren B. Douglas, representative from the Third Senatorial District. Sol. Roderick Chicago, Ill., March 10, 1922 Dear Friend: Having served as a member of the Illinois' House of Representatives for four years, has placed me in position to me and know very intimately the men making up that body of lawmakers in Springfield now again before us for the consideration at the polls.

Douglas, blew into Uniontown a few days ago and created a furetore by dropping $1 in the collection plate of St. Paul's A. M. E. Church. He then contributed $100 to the church in the form of a check. Douglas said that he was from a wealthy family near Macon, Ga., and had just sold his plantation for $200,000. Becoming temporarily embarrassed, he borrowed $50 from the Rev. Alexander Q. Morton, pastor of the church. A few days later the check came back marked "no such account." A search revealed that the affable stranger had left town suddenly "on business." Landlady As Peacemaker, Shoots Roomer Mrs. Lucille Driskell, the landlady at 4048 Indiana avenue, is determined to keep peace and quell any disorder in her home. So well is she carrying out her determination that George Wilson, one of her roomers, is now lying in the Fort Dearborn Hospital with a bullet hole in his side. George got into a playful quarrel Sunday with his sweetheart, Miss Marie Crawford of the same address. He charged the girl with bestowing too much of her attention on another man. Mrs. Driskell became interested in the quarrel and attempted to plastic the lovers. Her attempts to throw oil upon the troubled waters angered Wilson so that he threatened to kill her with a razor, which he drew from his pocket. The landlady then rushed to her bedroom and returning with a revolver shot the rate lover. The bullet entered through the right side and emerged under the heart.

THE CHICAGO WHIP CITY, BU Attorney General Brundage Courts Don't Want Man, He Goes Free MEALESTER, Okla, March 18.—"Kid" Kelly, under death sentence for eighteen years, who has been held in prison since the territorial days of Oklahoma without even commitment papers, walked out of the state penitentiary a free man. Kelly owes his release to President Harding, who signed a pardon, and to an Oklahoma newspaper man, who discovered the man's plight a year ago. According to prison officials, technically there never has been any authority for holding Kelly. The prisoner's status resulted from differences between the federal and state courts over jurisdiction in the case. Kelly was first tried in a federal court when Oklahoma was a territory, but then came statehood, and on subsequent appeals both the federal and state courts disclaimed jurisdiction. Kelly was convicted of killing Jim Dillingham in 1905. When the case was brought to light a year ago a movement immediately was instituted to tree Kelly or to set the date for execution of sentence. The matter was brought to the attention of President Harding.

The only thing that puzzled him was that the cars were always there at night, and Nosey had never heard of anybody holding an automobile sale at night. He noticed there cars of all makes and sizes, from a rattling tin lizzie to a long, low, luxurious Stutz. After a long and patients vigil, Nosey learned the truth. At gray dawn began to streak the eastern skies, the owners of the cars began emerging from the flat. Yes, there was a sale going on there, but it wasn't an automobile sale. OUTSIDE of a dead man, Nosey has yet to find a man so dumb as that young professional man who constantly stays drunk on moonshine. And the strange part about it is that this bird has accustomed himself to the joy water so well that he can be dead drunk and everybody will think he's sober. At least, everybody but his wife. Oh, boy, she knows him. Last week while she and her 'gentleman' friend were enjoying the music in a 35th street cabaret, her husband came lurching in. The "other man" made a break for the door. "Calm yourself, sweetie," said the errant wife. "He's so drunk he wouldn't know his mother." Friend husband sat down at the same table with his wife and rival, and honestly, while the other man wasn't looking, slipped his wife a card and tried to make a date with her. . . . SOME of these "out-of-town" huss bands are going to get wise yet. A certain young matron's home was the scene of a wild "Hollywood" party late last week. You know the kind, cigarette stumps, wine bottles, broken dishes, overturned chairs and so forth. Well, the old boy eased back in town the next day. He stopped at the office of a friend to pass the time of day. As Providence would have it this "friend" had been at the party the night before. He hastily telephoned the young woman of the unexpected return. She was still sleeping off the effects of the "night before". A hasty house cleaning ensued, and all was calm and serene when the head of the house reached home. EVERY now and then Nosey manages to get in on some free eats. While nooseving around in a big flat building he had happened to brush up against a door. It opened suddenly and a basket was pushed out. Nosey took the basket. It was full of good food—chicken and the like. Nosey was dumfounded, until he saw a young man come up to the same door and knot—softly. A lady put out her head and said, "too way, you have your dinner." He whispered, "I have not." The lady liked to have dropped but footsteps within made her close the door. Nosey smiled and remained in the shadows of the hall until the disappointed diner left. Nosey figured that if the man could not put up a kick against the master of the house, there were no grounds for him to object to him (Nosey) eating the dinner. YOU HAVE to follow the night hit very closely if you want to keep up with the changing scenes. Nosey made one of the all-night cabarrets the other morning about five o'clock. He arrived just in time to see one of our "leadingest leaders" in an alteration with a man who toils not but seems always to have plenty of money. The lady over whom the dispute arose was one of those worn tired, painted and washed-out "blonds" who chewed gum while the men argued. It was finally settled. The "leading leader" took himself off with staggering footsteps and the young man took the lady. "Leaders" cannot lead everybody they meet. Tavern Notes Many elegant and luxurious dinner parties were enjoyed at the Tavern Cafe, 3456 South State street, during the past week. The beautiful Baby Grand Violano Virtuoso makes the dinnernoons and evening very enjoyable.

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 consist of landscaping, macadam roadways, trees, shrubbery, three sets of ornamental iron gates, a chapel and superintendent's quarters with modern improvements. Thornt 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 improvements 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 cemeteries 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.

Berean Choir Musical Last Sunday evening, March 12, at 8 p.m., the Berean Choir rendered their regular monthly program at the Berean Baptist Church, 52nd and Dearborn streets. A large and enthusiastic audience was in attendance. Dr. Charles E. Bentley, chairman of the executive committee of the N. A. A. C. P., was the speaker of the evening. His address, "The History of the N. A. A. C. P., and the significance of the Dyer Bill," was very interesting and instructive. He defined the Dyer bill in all of its varied phases and what effect its passage would have upon our group. The musical program was a brilliant success. Miss Freda Crossley, Miss Lo D. Bonds, Miss Helen Robins, soloists, rendered beautiful selections. Mrs. Henrietta Johnson Douglas, member of Faculty Coleridge—Taylor School of Music, rendered a violin solo which was a rare treat.

KHAN LABORATORIES 136 E. 12th Ave. Homestead, Pa. Has Few Equals As Cornetist . Tommy Ladneir Tommy Ladneir, now assistant director of Vassar's Orchestra under contract at the Lincoln Gardens, is one of the youngest cornetists in the business, but critics say he has few if any equals in these sections Ladneir was born in 1900 in New Orleans. His first professional engagement was in 1917, when he ran away from home as a member of Russell Bros. Shows. At that time Tommy was a drummer, but after a few experiments with the cornet the manager saw he was not developing the wonderful talent that had been given him and induced Tommy to take up the latter, which he did, and it was only a few days until Little Tommy was the sensation of the show. In 1919 Ladneir, a mere kid, came to Chicago and became affiliated with the Local Union No. 228 and from then on has been taking the Chicago public by storm. Some time ago critics secretly visited the various cafes in an effort to locate the man best suited for jazz solo work for a contemplated proposition that is sure to materialize, and they almost unanimously agreed that Tommy was the man. Tommy's latest accomplishment was the composition of the 'Jerusalem Blues,' quite a popular song hit. Ladneir resides with his mother at 3255 Calumet avenue.

Whether they are Negroes, colored people, “race folk,” or those of “our group” we are not capable of clean-cut delineation. It is agreed, however, that all of this makeshift nomenclature is cumbersome and tends to bewilder both those without and those within the pale of African descent. _ Dipping into ethnology and history a bit and in reviewing the achievements of Egyptians, Madgars, Ethiopians, etc., who are re- corded as black people and of African descent, it would be obviously and extremely unfair to cut off their posterity from history by styling them as Negroes. The word Negro was never used in early civiliza- tion when Africa was in flower. The Negroid races were not called Negroes and to call their descendants such, “robs them of that which does not enrich others but leaves them poor indeed.” The term “‘colored people” does not describe and classify those of African descent adequately and intelligently. Color is produced by pigmentation. Where there is no pigment, there is no color. White races have little or no pigment and therefore no color. It clearly follows that all races that are not white are colored. This throws the vellow, Malay, red and black races pell mell into Babylonian confu- sion. ‘The term “‘colored” does not segregate and identify with clarity the people of African descent throughout the world. Some scribes in America of Ethiopian ancestry have taken unto themselves to style their fellows as “race folks.” In periodicals and newspaper the terms “race man” and “race woman’ is used indis- criminately. It is not scientifically clear whether the scribes mean the African race, the colored race or the recently emancipated African in America. It would be more conducive to clear thinking and un- clouded understanding to state just what race is referred to. It would certainly add pride and respect to dismiss this artful wile of dodging the problem of whom we are. Some more audacious ones have recently introduced the term “our group” and this term has been absorbed and assimilated by the un- thoughtful and careless. What upshot does this jargon about “our group” carry with it? Does it stimulate a greater race pride? Does it promote a firmer and clearer race psychology? A group is an iso- lated portion of a mass. It is true that from the heterogeneous masses of people efforts have been made to segregate and isolate the de- scendants of African forefathers. It is undisputed that laws have been established in America declaring a one-sixteenth percentage of African blood is a sufficient proportion to bar claim to the white race. External forces seek to make those of African descent a race. Inter- nal forces seek to minimize us and bring us down to a “group.” It appears to us that, it is entirely befitting and becoming to acknowledge our ancestry. Most of us are undisputably descendants from black people. Black people yndisputably belong to the black race. If it is prejudice and race hatred which would throw those of black ancestry into the black race, why not capitalize this prejudice and hatred and assert that even though we are yellow, brown and even white in complexion that we ARE members of the black race. . Indifference five years we have constantly com high cost of living, The high cost of v living, The high cost of labor” and at the average respectable citizen is i community unless it affects him imn erence is the parent of most of our so For the past five years we have constantly complained of ‘High “Costs.” “The high cost of living, The high cost of high living, The high cost of low living, The high cost of labor” and an endless chain of “High costs.” It is a fact that the average respectable citizen is indifferent to what happens in the community unless it affects him immediately and per- sonally. Indifference is the parent of most of our social and economic ailments. The lack of interest in public affairs has cost this City more than can be estimated at the present time. Criminals have taken ad- vantage of this negative interest to organize themselves. They have established outposts in every locality in the City. Connecting files have been carefully trained to carry out the orders of the master crooks. The brain or so-called masters of organized “Vice” are strongly entrenched in’ the immunity of “crooked politics.” Dis- honest dollars are their most effective ammunition. “Indifference on the part of the law abiding elements of our cit- izenry has permitted criminals te compel honest public officials to subscribe to their modus operandi or be driven from public life. We have paid millions in dollars and cents for our “Indifference.” No estimate can be placed upon the lives of the innocent people who have fallen victims at criminals’ hands. Promising young men and women who have been drawn into the criminal dragnet is also an important part of the toll society has paid for “Indifference.” The chief of police has declared war on Vice in all of its forms. For the first time in history all branches of the local government are pledged to’ join hands and fight these social parasites. Even this is not sufficient to clean up the City as it should be. Every decent per- son should be a volunteer in this crusade. Tolerate nothing that savors of “Vice.” Report all disorderly places to the authorities. If they for reasons, better known to themselves, fail to act, write letters to the local and daily papers. If the present public “Indif- ference” is not changed into a positive, active interest in public wel- fare, the efforts of public officials will avail nothing. This is a ternporary period of unemployment. A\ll constructive forces should act briefly and in concert, else new recruits will be added to the ranks of “organized Vice.” It is a well established fact that idleness and want present a fertile field for criminal enlistments. This we can ill afford. . If the daring operations of the last few weeks among criminals is indicative of their future work, and their ability to “get by” and they are allowed to strengthen their now too powerful organization, law and order will henceforth be a joke. In fact, we might as well have daylight bank robbers as mayors, auto bandit judges, pickpocket aldermen, ‘“‘confidence’’ men to form the board of trade, and lewd women to dictate the policy of our social. welfare work. Decency and respectability would fare just as well under such a regime as under the present system if Organized Crime is allowed to flourish er en unpunished, on account of our “Indifference.” HEALTH HINTS The United States Public Health Service has endorsed 4 publicity campaign in reference to the danger from the exhaust gases from automobile engines These gases are poisonous to the human system because they contain. carbon ee ed ee | LEGAL HINTS | Question: 1 sold some clothing to A who promised to give his note for Une Hundred Twenty-five Dollars in payment. He now has the clothing, but refuses to give me the note which was payable in one year with interest. What remedy or remedies might I have if any? Roy J. Gum, Chicage. Il Answer: You may rescind the sale for the fraud on the part of the pur- chaser and recover the goods in an action of replevin, or for the conversion of the clothing in,an action of trover. He may also sue immediately for breach of the special agreement to give the note; but you can not, until the expiration of the time of credit (one year), maintain an action im assumpsit on the common count, for goods sold and delivered. Question: I am a jobber and have difficulty making collections from time to time, One case recently was particularly trying. One of my customers had some printing to be done through me. He was to pay for the linotype work and after considerable trouble we got hin. to give us a.check for the price of that work. Upon going to the bank we found that the check could’ not be cashed for lack of funds.

Introducing evi- idence to show that he has failed to have sufficient funds in the hank on other occasions whenr he drew checks would help your case considerably as it has a tendency to prove that he must have been aware af his insolvent condition Question; Our organization made'an oral agreement with the owner of a hall to permit us use of the hall for dancing and other purposes for aiternoons of four special holidays ‘at stipulated price for each afternoon, He later refused to periorm his agreement on the ground that it should have been in | writing to be binding.

Brisbane, he who plays on words and makes puns for the public to read and solve, has given us another beautiful play on words. He says that America should be opened up to the’ white races of the world and by inference exclude all other people. Tomorrow he will slip out onto the realms of idealism and speak of equal opportunities to all people and the confra- ternity of all races. He will say that he absorbed and as- similated socialism from his mother’s breast. fYet his social- istic scheme for America would exclude the dark races. He is unmindful of Europe's rapid decay under the civilization of the white races and overlooks the rapid rise of Japan. If Bris- bane wants to build up a great nation in America he would do well to suggest that the gates be opened up to all humankind and that humanity and fair play be considered separate from skin coloration. After the self styled “jewel of his people,” Roscoe Simmons, made his latest speech in Chicago on last Monday night he was seized by, the minions of the law and thrust behind prison bars because he had failed to pay a judgment for several thousand dollars imposed upon him by the State of Illinois. The “orator and statesman” was much embarrassed and the “pride of his race” was sadly chagrined. If he understands the white man as he claims to, why didn’t he know that they would put him behind the bars for ignoring the mandates of the law? His raucous voice is silenced for awhile. For this relief much thanks. A white girl in Chicago, prevented from marrying a black men by her parents, commits suicide. It was a love affair from school days. 'The laws of Illinois allow intermarriage between races and no public policy seeks to nullify this law. The girl’s love mattered net to her parents and her,happiness less, but Jove found solace in the great silence. Are the parents hap- pier now than they would have been if the daughter was ‘married and alive? Some of narrow minds would say that death is better than dishonor, but Falstaff said that he would rather be a living dishonor than a dead honor. Clarence Darrow says that life is not worth living anyway. At all hazards the girl lies dead. The law still lives and honor and dishonor still exists. Who can change this system of society? What is honor anyway? And how does it bear on love? a PR. TROY SMITH THE CHICAGO WHIP Ry Dr. Troy Smith gas and in the ordinary illuminating gas This warning should have special significance to ‘all persons who do. any considerable amount of work about the exhaust pipes of cars while running, be they owners or mechanics. There have been numerous deaths caused. by these gases from running cars, especially, ii the car is leit running in a small garage or in a poorly ventilated one. If death does not occur, very annoying symptoms may re- suit. The symptoms maniiest themselves in irritation of the air passages. and the various disorders that go along with ancmia, because these gases, when they do not pro- duce death at once, get into the system and cause a slow disintegration of the red blood cells. ‘The effects of these gases are produced very quickly, usally before the victim realizes the danger. However, dangers of these gases are overcome, if the person, be he a worker in a small garage or a poorly ventilated large one, will vbserve the following Real Estate Department Hundreds of colored people of this city who are paying out, ofttimes more than their income as rent and depend ing upon chance or other means a little more certain for making up the difference, can Auy homes if they only revise their false idea of living to-suit their pockets, The Negro seems to think that lic must make a show of luxury and showy ease; they seem to have lost all sight of the perspective as 16 ‘Standards of living. especially an the home side, They do not want moder ate appearance and convenience in ‘homes, they demand the utmost. the ‘superlative, and liccause their ideal home is so far beyond their means as |to be unobtainable, they refuse te con sider tess than the ideal and keep on reaching out after the unobtainable When they do buy homes they “overbuy.” They seem to want the home suitable for the ten thousand dol lar income, and try to support it on the ten dollar income. ‘Taxes, interest and upkeep prevent them from ever seeing an “out.” once they try to buy They have to fill the house with room ers who have no thought of. or any rezard for the premises, only to live till the week is up.
