SHOOTS 2 WITHOUT WARNING
Mysterious Gunman Who Ran Amuck, Shooting 2 Is Sought By Police
A mysterious gunneman, thought by the police to be demented, shot two white men Friday. Shortly after the shooting he was hunted by scores of policemen in the belief that he had not amused. The first man shot was Matthew Fry. 19. 228 Swann Street. Fry was on the way home from a visit at 48th Prairie Avenue. When he reached 47th Street, Wentworth Avenue, he was attacked by a man he described as light complexion, wearing a long black overcoat, with a cap pulled down over his eyes. Physicians at the County Hospital say he may die.
Shoots Without Warning
The gunman met Fry under the ladder, and without warning, put a revolver to his head. Fry dodged as the weapon was fired, and the first bullet missed. A second struck him in the abdomen, and the third in the head. The gunman led without attempting to rob his vittim.
An hour later, Jed Foogle, 25, 356 East 53rd Street, was shot in the left leg in front of 5115 Calumet Avenue. Like Fry, he made the same description of his assailant.
Foogle was found lying on the sidewalk with a shattered kneecap after neighbors had telephoned the police that shooting was going on in the neighborhood. He said that as he was hurt to pass the gunman, the latter suddenly swung toward him and fired at his head. Again the first shot missed, and the gunman fired again. As Foogle fell to the ground his assailant ran through a yard and out of the
Howard Ousts Veteran Law Professor
WASHINGTON, D. C. April 8.—Proof. W. H. H. Hart, who was largely responsible for the founding of the law school of Howard University, was dismissed from the faculty last week. A statement issued by Professor Hart some time ago reflecting upon the members of the trustee board and a more recent statement to the effect that Boddy was justified by the law of self-defense in killing a New York policeman were among the causes for his dismissal.
McCORMICK DEMANDS THAT LYNCHING BE STAMPED OUT
In a letter to Knute Nelson, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Medill McCormick calls his attention to the fact that and on the 24th of March and the 21st of April bills similar to the Dyer House bill had been introduced by himself and Senator Spencer. The measures all seek to put an end to lynching.
Senator McCormick further pointed out that during the last thirty-five years there have been nearly 3,500 lynchings in the United States. Whatever may be true of the past, today lynching and race rioting is not local or sectional, but a national issue. During the past two or three years there have been lynchings, as there have been outbreaks of violence, between mobs of both races, from the Lakes to the Gulf and from the Missouri to the Atlantic. I do not believe on or the other members of the Committee on Judiciary will want to see the adjournment of the present session of Congress without reporting an anti-lynching bill. Our common conscience and common judgment demand that Congress act to stamp out lynching.

Lieut. Childs Retires From Police Dept.
After twenty-five years' service in the police department, Lieut William F. Childs retired Friday. He is the only man of his color in the United States to attain the rank of Lieutenant of police. On account of his race, it is believed, Lieut Childs was assigned to a department where he would not be required to wear a uniform; neither was he ever put in command of a station, or allowed otherwise to function actively as a police lieutenant. He was assigned to the identification bureau in the chief's office.
*Lieut Childs, who lives at 6553 Eberhardt Ave., was recognized as a finger print and Bertillon system expert.
Will Clean Up County Bldg., He Says
Before an enthusiastic and voiceless crowd of white Democrats, Maurice Kavanagh white, candidate for County Commissioner, promised in no uncertain terms, that it he is elected, he will "wash the black stain off the County Building," and when he gets through, there will be nobody but white employed there.
Kavanagh is reported to have made this promise at a meeting of white Democrats held Monday night at the Hyde Park Masonic Temple, 51st St., and Michigan Ave. As far as he knew there were no one but whites in the audience.
Continuing in his tirade, Kavanagh drew more cheers by declaring that he would do everything in his power to bring about segregation in the county Hospital. He will bring to an end, he says, the system whereby a visitor at the County Hospital "sees" black man in a bed here and a white man next to him, or a black woman in a bed there, and a white woman next to her."
SARAH RECTOR NOW IN CONTROL OF ENTIRE ESTATE
(Afro-American.)
KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, April 8. Miss Sarah Rector, America's $1,000,000 oil queen, is rejoicing at her home this week following the decision of Judge J. E. Guinott, deciding that she was competent to take care of her own money.
The judge not only refused the plea of a white and a colored man to manage her estates, but complimented Miss Sarah highly on her intelligence and thrift. Miss Rector's wealth is derived from her allotment in the great Cushing oil fields, one of the richest fields in Oklahoma. She received this allotment under the Creek Indian Act, which gave Negroes held as slaves by Indians the same property rights as their masters.
The allotment yields an annual income of between $30,000 and $40,000. A large part of this revenue Miss Rector has invested in Liberty bonds and farm land. She has about $33,000 invested in the bonds and her 970 acres of land are valued at nearly $100,000. Miss Rector, who is a pure blooded Negro, lives with her parents in what was once one of the most fashionable districts of the city, but is now being taken over by the wealthier colored folk. Apparently she supplies both the funds and the financial genius for the family, and she manages the household well and economically. She owns an automobile, not pretentious but good, and in the matter of dress is about on a par with the average girl of her age. She is a high school graduate, but she did not win any honors at school.
CUTS CONDUCTOR
FT. WORTH, Texas, April 8--In an argument over fares an unidentified passenger cut a conductor and fled.
RANSACK FLAT FOR GUNMAN
"Chicago's Worst Gunman," Who Leaped From Train To Liberty, Is Sought
Residents in the Lakeview Apartments, 31st Street and Ellis Avenue, were rudely awakened from their beds late Sunday night by policemen from the Stanton Avenue Station led by Sergeant Glenn, who ransacked the building from top to bottom. Every room in the entire building of over sixty apartments was searched in vain for William Webb, "Chicago's toughest gunman," who was reported to be in hiding there.
Webb aroused the police to activity by diving head foremost from the window of a train moving thirty miles through Joliet, where he was being carried to the Pontiac reformatory.
Jumps Through Window
The escape occurred at 4th Avenue in Joliet, a half mile from the main passenger station on the Chicago & Alton Railroad. The gunman made his leap despite the fact that he was handcuffed. He was believed last night to be hiding in a colored settlement in Joliet and police were combing this section for him.
Throws Himself Out
Webb was being guarded by W. E. Barrere, superintendent of parole at the reformatory, who came to Chicago to get him. The train had left the Jolet station and was gathering speed when the prisoner, who was sitting by an open window, jumped up. He flung himself headlong out of the window. Barrere leaped for him, but missed. Then, refusing to take the chance which the colored man had taken, he ordered the train stopped. By the time this was done Webb was nowhere to be seen.
Engages Taxicab
All trains coming into Chicago were closely watched, but Webb managed to slip into the city Sunday night. While police were watching railroad stations, Webb appeared at 39th and State Streets at 2:30 a.m. and mailed a taxicab.
Joseph Jordan, a chauffeur, notified the Stanton Avenue Police that a man with the chain of a handcuff dangling from his right wrist, hailed his cab at Thirty-ninth and State Streets, at 2:30 a.m. and asked to be driven to Thirty-first and Ellis Avenue. His general description of the stranger dovetails with that of Webb.
"When he got out of the cab and handed me a dollar bill to pay the charges of 60 cents, I heard the handcuff chain rattle." Jordan said. "Before I had a chance to give him his change, he ran into an areaway of one of the apartment buildings. I'm sure it was Webb."
His escape was as exciting as was his capture, a week ago, in the saloon of Daniel Morrison, Thirty-first Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, when he shot it out with Detective Sergt. James McCarthy, whose life was saved when Detective Sergt. Fred Tapscott shot the gunman's weapon out of his hands.
Kidnaping Young Girls Was His Mania
Kidnaping Young Girls Was His Mania
MERIDIAN, MASS., April 8.—A posse of citizens headed by Sheriff John M. Martin scoured the woods around Russell in an effort to capture Ashbury Brewster, who had kidnapped a 15 year old girl. Brewster then defied the girl's parents with a Winchester rifle, and made threats to kill anyone who interfered with him. The girl finally made her escape from her captor when he entered a house in search of food. It is claimed that Brewster formerly lived in this vicinity, but for the past several years he has lived in Arkansas. Each year since his departure, however, he has come back into the community and kidnapped a young girl, supposedly taking her to his home in Arkansas. He is alleged to have taken girls either by force or persuasion, the ages of the victims ranging from 15 to 18 years.
CHICAGO, SATURDAY, APRIL 8th, 1922
Crew Drunk-
Black Star
Liner Late
NEW YORK, April 8.—Why the Black Star Liner "Yarmouth" failed to make Havana on time with a $3,000,000 cargo of Green River Whiskey, was related last week in the Bronx Supreme Court.
The story was told during a suit brought against the line by the Pan Union Corporation, which had contracted through the Black Star Line to land a certain amount of whiskey in Havana the day the Volstead act went into effect.
Lawyers representing the trucking corporation declared that the Yarmouth sailed from her pier in Brooklyn in ample time to reach her destination. When the boat reached a point of Cape Hatteras, however, it is said she was cavorting around aimlessly. Her queer antics were noticed by the crew of a revenue cutter, which quickly ran alongside.
Officers of the revenue cutter found everybody or board gloriously drunk, according to the testimony. The craft was then taken in tow and brought back to Brooklyn pier.
Escapes Chair Because Victim Wasn't White
Escapes Chair Because Victim Wasn't White
MEMPHIS, TENN., April 8.—Dave Murrell, who was convicted of assault, has been sentenced to a term in the penitentiary. Conviction of a charge of assault upon a woman usually carries with it the death penalty, but it appears that Murrell was given a lighter sentence because his victim was not a white girl.
The following clipping from a Memphis newspaper strengthens this belief:
"Dave Murrell, Negro, was convicted yesterday in Judge Richard's court of an attempt to commit the crime which he was charged with having committed on a Negro girl, and hence will get a long penitentiary term instead of the electric chair, which goes with conviction for the crime itself. JOHN SHEA TRIED THE CASE FOR THE STATE AND SUCCEEDED IN GETTING A VERDICT IN A NEGRO CASE, WHICH IS RATHER UNUSUAL AT THE HANDS OF A JURY."
Chicagoan Is Shot By St. Louis Druggist
ST. LOUIS, April 8, Joseph Crouch, 57 years of age, was shot four times by a druggist at Garrison and Lacede Avenues. Arthur Warner, white, has been arrested for the shooting. Crouch is said to have gone to the drug store and asked for cotton. When he reached to his pocket for the money, the drug clerk claims thought Crouch was reaching for a pistol and opened fire. Four shots took effect in the man's body. Crouch, who was a former resident of St. Louis, was visiting the city from Chicago, where he now resides.
Deputies Guard Knoxville Polls
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 8--As a consequence of threatened disorders at the elections here Thursday, special details of deputies have been ordered to the polls to insure order. It has been hinted that many hundreds will refrain from casting the ballot on account of intimidation.

MISS HELEN K.
France Finds Another Black Author
PARIS, April 8—After Rene Maran, who won the coveted literary prize known as the 'Prix Goncourt' with his tale of the African jungle, 'Batonaal', another Black author has been found. Kojo Tokalou Houenou, a nephew of King Behanzin of Dahomey, has written a book on "The Involution of the Metamorphoses and Metempsychoses of the Universe." The work really is an essay on the theory of the formation of language, followed by a series of moral reflections, some of which are worthy of La Rochefoucauld. Here are a few. "The wise man is he who is sensible enough to confess that he is no better than his fellows."
"Specialization is an alibi created by savants."
"Savants' balderdash is the only obstacle I have encountered in science." "Happiness is like health; the greater and more perfect it is, the more unconscious we are of it." Kojo Tokalou Houenou has this to say of his native land:
"Africa has not yet contributed her share to the life of cities and to civilization. Her turn will come. Beware of those men of bronze; their strength and radiance will astound your land of mist; theirs is the country of the sun."
Asks Hanging, Gets Death Sentence
FAYETTEVILLE, GA., April 8.—Genus Cofield stated in court Monday that he preferred hanging to serving five years in the penitentiary. He thereupon stabbed his nephew who had turned state's evidence in a burglary charge. Cofield was placed on trial and found guilty of murder Wednesday. Thursday he was sentenced to be hanged May 5.

In a scenario contest with an entry list of 20,000 authors who submitted over 27,000 stories, a Chicago school teacher has been rated 30th, winning with the rating a cash prize of $500. The winnie was Miss Helen K. Perry, 3426 Calumet ave., a teacher at the Raymond school. The contest was conducted by the Chicago Daily News, and prize winners were scattered from coast to coast. The contest was open to the world and professional writers were entered by the hundreds. The prizes were: $10,000 first prize, ten second prizes of $1,000, and 20 prizes of $500 each. The judges who pronounced Miss Perry's manuscript among the winners were D. W. Griffith, Samuel Goldwyn, Norma Talmadge, Charles Chaplin, Rupert Hughes, Gertrude Atherton, Gouverneur Morris, and Mary Robert Rinehart. In order to insure perfect fairness in the contest, the names were clipped off the manuscripts, the manuscripts checked and numbered, and the names placed if a vault. Early Saturady morning Miss Perry was notified that she was a winner. Since then the mails and her telephone have been deluged with congratulations, and she has received several flattering offers to write for newspapers and periodicals. Her achievement has won for her immediate recognition in the literary world. Miss Perry is a graduate of the University of Chicago and is prominent in social circles.
NIGHT RIDERS DESTROY
TORACCO BED
DANVILLE, Va., April 30—Night-riders destroyed the tobacco bed of Henry Adams, a farmer, in the course of several raids here last week.
---
TULSA, OKLA., April 8.-Lying in his bed here, Deputy Sheriff John Smitherman, who was taken from his room in the Red Wing Hotel and brutally beaten and mutilated by a mob of masked men, told his story to a representative, that because of its unhumanness and dastardly viciousness, is almost unbelievable. Smitherman was emphatic in his belief that the men who attacked him were not acting under orders of the Ku Klux Klan. He states that the whole fair can be checked up to the Republican party of Tulsa county, or to individuals in the party who were aroused to their hellish deed because of his activity in registering black men on the Democratic ticket for the spring election. Tulsans have expressed a determination to vote the Republicans out of office, who were responsible for the breaking down of law and order in the city of Tulsa on June 1 last. Smitherman had been very active in the matter of getting voters qualified for the spring battle.
"I was asleep in my room at the Red Wing hotel when the men came," stated Smitherman; "they knocked on the door and when I inquired who they were, one said it was the chief of police. I at once opened the door to be confronted by two masked men who jammed pistols into my side. These men were wearing police badges. As I came out of the door I saw Attorney W. H. Twine of Muskogee, standing in the hall way and I asked him to go with me as I had to go to jail. The two thugs told me that Twine could not go and hustled me downstairs where two or three other masked men were standing. I told them that I did not believe that they were officers, although each one displayed badges of the Tulsa police force. I told them if they were going to kill me to do it then, rather than prolong the ordeal. I was dragged north up Greenwood where two cars were parked. I was thrown into one and a blanket thrown over my head and the cars started. After a long time the cars stopped and I was thrown out and then tied to a tree.
They must have lashed me for forty minutes during which time none of them said a word. Finally one of the thugs said: "NIGGER, YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT, EH? and getting all of the other niggers and carrying them up town to register on the democratic ticket eh? Well, we are going to make a democrat out of you tonight," he shouted and started whipping me again. An elderly man in the bunch objected to further whipping on the grounds that I should not be killed. He said that he wanted me to live long enough to get back to Tulsa and tell the other niggers what had hap- Master Richard Ray, our popular pened to me. The shortest one of the bunch called to one of the gang who had a flashlight to hold it up so he could see. With the light on, he deliberately cut off two-thirds of my left ear and started STARTED FORCING ME TO EAT THE BLOODY FLESH OF MY OWN BODY. Again the elderly man objected. I was then released and ordered to leave Tulsa and the state of Oklahoma. I was so weakened from the beating and the brutal treatment that I fell down and remained there for a long time until I had recovered a little strength. I wandered around for some time. At last I came to the residence of a Colored family who immediately took me in and cared for my wounds and gave me a bed."
Later developments showed that Smitherman had been taken out near Catoosa to be lashed. Sheriff McCul-

In our issue of March 18th, there appeared in the columns of this paper an article, which was advertisement, for Wallace G. Clark, Republican candidate for County Treasurer in the coming primary. At the time that this advertisement was taken, the officials of this paper were not aware of all of the facts in the record of Mr. Clark.
NUMEROUS LETTERS OF COMPLAINT
Hardly had the paper reached our subscribers and readers before there were telephone calls, personal visits to our office and letters, all complaining of the fact that THE WHIP, known for its strenuous fight against all known enemies of the race should even accept advertisement from Wallace G. Clark. It was pointed out to officials of THE WHIP that this same Wallace Clark who in 1915 is alleged to have been in league with a group of Hyde Park residents and took untoward steps to keep a colored family from occupying a house on Forestville Avenue.
When these complaints came in against a man who was seeking votes of black men, THE WHIP sent out investigators to look up the allegations.
ARREST BARES DUAL LIFE OF PROMINENT PITTSBURGER
PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 8. Business and social circles in Pittsburgh were thoroughly startled last week with the arrest of Marcus W. Newman, 29, 626 Watt Street, in connection with the murder of a postal clerk, J. I. McCullough, and a $30,000 bond robbery. Newman, who was formerly a railway postal clerk, left the service in 1919, and has been posing since as "a successful stock salesman." Newman has recently been frequently visiting large eastern cities "on important business."
Last Saturday, however, post office inspectors, who are alleged to have been trailing him for several months, apparently in an effort to find bonds in his possession which would implicate him in the crime, arrested him as he was attempting to sell two $1,000 bonds of the American Fruit Growers' Association, Nos. 961 and 962, to a Philadelphia broker. It is alleged that these two bonds were part of the loot taken from the car at the time of the murder and robbery.
Details Unknown
Postoffice Inspector George V. Craighead believes that with the arrest of Newman, the mystery surrounding the murder, as well as the theft of the bonds, will shortly be cleared.
A description of Newman was obtained by the postal authorities on March 24, 1921, after Newman, it is alleged, sold five $1,000 permanent coupon bonds of the government of the French republic (external loan) due September 15, 1945, Nos. M37432 to M37436 inclusive, with the March 15, 1921, and all subsequent coupons attached, and 14 $1,000 bonds of the French republic, due September 15, 1945 (25-year external loan gold bonds), Nos. M37412 to M37425, inclusive, with March 15, 1921, and all subsequent coupons attached. These bonds were stolen from the railroad car.
In order to sell the alleged stolen bonds it is claimed he opened a bank account and also an account with a broker, doing business, it is believed.

While working on the case, investigators delved into the files of The Chicago Tribune and in the issue of May 2nd of that paper found an account of the incident, a reprint of which is found on this page.

As rumors of Clark's attitude, as shown by The Chicago Tribune, gathered currency, Clark decided to take steps to deny the report. In last week's issue of a Chicago colored newspaper, Wallace Clark, or some of his supporters, caused an article to be placed in which he attempts to clear himself. He cited a number of prominent people who purported to endorse him and his candidacy. When most of these people were called on, they denied it. Some of their statements are printed below:

Dear Sir:—
ANNAPOLIS, Md., April 8—It is freely hinted that Emile Holley will receive the same treatment that the only three other midshipmen who are not white received when they came to the naval academy. Cadets who were overheard talking said that if he came he would have a tough time of it. The other three appointees were compelled to resign partly, it is said, on account of the extremely violent hazing by Southerners.
under the name of Samuel Hauffman. After the bonds had been purchased it was discovered they had been stolen, and a description of the man who had sold them given to postoffice inspectors.
For several months, however, officers had been on the trail of the man, it is alleged, making local inquiries as to his standing, both financially and socially under the guise of credit agents. The report of neighbors confirmed their suspicions, which resulted in his ultimate arrest.
Mrs. Newman, when interviewed by a reporter, denied the assertions of the white press that at one time her husband had showed her $9,000 in cash.
"He did tell me that he had been 'playing the ponies,' and I was satisfied. Marcus seemed so solicitious about my welfare and little Ann's."
"And he would do the most unexpected things. He knew my measurements, and on many of his Eastern trips he would send me little articles as 'love tokens.'"
"But I never, never said that he had showed me any $9,000 in cash. I never questioned him after he told me that he was playing the races.
"And then for a moment her feelings got the better of her, but she quickly continued.

"And I'll stick by him. If ever he needed me he needs me now. Oh. I know that many of his former friends are criticizing him, but they haven't proved anything yet."

Meanwhile an indignation meeting of thoroughly outraged Forrestville avenue residents who object strenuously to becoming neighbors of Davis was being held at the residence of Wallace G. Clark, drainage trustee, at 4520 Forrestville avenue.
The property in question belonged to the Burdick estate, for which Attorney Harry C. Kinne is trustee. Of late it had been rented through the real estate firm of B. W. Wolfe & Co., with offices at 206 West Garfield boulevard, to William B. Denny for $7.50 a month. Mr. Denny's lease expired April 30, and he moved farther up the block.
On April 23 the property was sold by Mr. Kinne to Mrs. Josephine Mulcahy for a cash consideration of $5,000. Then a contract of sale was made to Davis by Mrs. Mulcahy through the real estate firm.
Take Charge' of Things.
The news spread that a negro was to move in. There were many private protests and indignation meetings. Yesterday word spread that Davis was coming to take possession. A hurried consultation was held, Assistant Corporation Counsel Hoft and Mr Clark took charge of things, and a delegation was sent to the Wolfe Real Estate agency.
When Davis arrived he faced the poster and Fleming's forbidding countenance through the window. Denny had turned the keys over to the neighbors when he left. Davis read the sign, expressed his mind to the watchman, and went away, saying he would go to court on Monday and obtain possession. Some one in the neighborhood feared, however, he intended to return with reinforcements and called up the police.
Police Come on the Run.
Policeman Kelliber same on the run
and found a crowd of excited citizens
gathered in front of the place. Later
Patrolman Wilson relieved him on guard.
The residents asserted they had agreed
to purchase the house jointly and it was
the "community property." They denied
the deed had been transferred to
Davis, but stated he merely, had made
a contract to purchase the house on
monthly payments of $35. The real estate
agents, they said, had been reimbursed
for the costs in the case, and they
merely had taken over the contract.
Mrs. Mulcahy, it was said, is employed
in the Wolfe real estate office and she
was merely a figurehead in the transaction.
"I knew that negroes had looked at the property, and I warned the residents of the neighborhood they had better purchase it themselves, as it had to be sold to settle the estate," said Mr. Kinne. "They laughed at me. I sold to Mrs. Mulcahy, and I understand she sold to Davis, but I had nothing to do with that transaction. I don't know who Mrs. Mulcahy is, but I heard the deed had been transferred to Davis."
Senatorial Committee from the 3rd District will ably represent those of the race who stand for good government.
She has given efficient and creditable service in the recorder's office where she has been employed the past
INSUFFICIENT JIM
CROW SERVICE
IS ATTACKED
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 8. The Interstate Commerce Commission has been asked to extend its investigation of discrimination in freight rates in Southern interstate railway traffic to the discrimination against passengers by segregation in Jim Crow cars. The commerce commission has found that freight rates differ materially for substantially similar hauls on like classes of traffic. The N. A. A. C. P. has raised the argument that the same situation exists in passenger traffic, inasmuch as Jim Crowed passengers are charged first class rates but are served with inadequate, inferior and insufficient accommodations.

As the smoke curled up, Marie grew drowsy, but smoked on through force of habit. As she neared the last "drag" she fell sound asleep. The cigarette slipped from her lips and fell to the covers.

U. S. CONTROL
SEEN IN LOAN
TO LIBERIA
WASHINGTON, April 8.—Back of the legislation pending in Congress for a loan of $5,000,000 to Liberia is an iron clad agreement for the use of part of the money in settling up long standing securities held by a large group of New York and European bankers and to give the United almost dominating interest in the control of affairs of that country.
Hints of this were brought out this morning at a first hearing by the committee of Ways and Means. A fight has been started to defeat the legislation, the desire for which was made known a few months ago by President Harding to a few Congressmen at a White House dinner.
Liberia is commonly known as the proposed "haven" for Negroes of the United States. President Monroe is said to have first suggested that they be encouraged to go there. Congressmen say they know no new movement along this line, but they think the proposed loan and agreement would encourage development, if not further colonization.
Confidential information has been laid before the Ways and Means Committee from the State Department which shows, among other things, that this government proposed in an agreement between the Secretary of State and the Liberian Plenary Commission on Oct. 28, 1921, to make advances of about $1,700,000 to cover Liberia's indebtedness.
Or this, as shown to the committee, about $1,650,000 is to take up securities held by J. P. Morgan & Co., Kohn Loeb & Co., the National City Bank of New York and the First National Bank of New York acting to themselves, Robert Fleming & Co., Banque de Paris et des Pays Bas, M. Warbring & Co., and Hope & Co., acting for others not mentioned.
The advance of it $1,650,000 to Liberia would enable it to purchase or redeem all of its bonds now issued and outstanding representing the 5 per cent, sinking fund gold loan that was due July 1, 1952, under the agreement dated March 7, 1912, for refunding the loan of the foregoing named holders
About $30,000 would go toward repaying advances heretofore made under the Second Liberty Loan Act. Other parts of the loan would go toward improving the transportation and commercial facilities of the country. An immediate advance of $48,000 is suggested to enable Liberia to begin immediate execution of the plan. All advances would constitute "a direct liability and obligation of Liberia."
Inquiries this morning about the purpose of the advance under the Liberty Loan Act brought information from F. M. Dearing, assistant secretary of state that $26,000 of it was to pay the expenses of the Liberian delegation to the Paris Peace conference.
Attacks were made today on the creation of a Financial Commission. It was brought out that one of the things to be accomplished for keeping order would be the creation of a Liberian army and absolute control of customs by the United States.
The members of the Financial Commission would be designated by the President of the United States and appointed by the President of Liberia and would include: a Financial Commissioner at a salary of $15,000 a year a Deputy Financial Commissioner at $10,000, an auditor at $6,000, three administrative assistants at $6,000 each, ten administrative assistants at $4,000 each.
The hearing will be resumed Friday and members will inquire of State Department officials the extent of the proposed control of legislation and finances and of concessions for developing the resources of the country. Sarah Rector Now In Control of Entire Estate.

Deneen Women
Get Charter For
Organization
For the first time in the history of the state of Illinois and possibly of America a political organization of colored women has been granted a charter. The Colored Women's Cook County Association is now a corporate body, functioning under the laws governing the same.
The association is the culmination of several years earnest and persistent effort on the part of its organizer and founder, Mrs. Georgia Huston Jones and a few earnest co-workers. The colored women of Cook county have realized that our civic rights can only be secured and maintained by organized effort through political avenues.
It may be a sad commentary on our present day government but it is nevertheless true that our elementary institutions are subject to the changed conditions attendant upon each municipal county or state election. Our public institutions, correctional and charitable as well as the civil rights, housing conditions, etc., of a certain group of citizens is more or less intimately and intricately associated and controlled by your public officials. Hence the need on the part of every citizen, women especially, to lend active, intelligent support to the end that only capable, honest persons be elected to public office.
The object of this organization is set forth in the charter as follows:
The object for which it is formed is to establish a meeting place for women interested in public affairs; to arouse women to a fuller understanding of their suffrage rights; to arouse their civic pride; to exercise their suffrage in the interest of good government; to promote the general welfare by active participation in all movements political or otherwise having to do with the employment, care, training or correctional treatment of women and children with particular reference to persons of color; to foster and promulgate the Republican principles of government advocated by Ex-Governor Charles S. Deneen.

POKE FUN AT FRAT FOR INITIATING DEAD MAN
POKE FUN AT FRAT FOR INITIATING DEAD MAN
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 8.—The Kappa Alpha Psi Journal, official organ of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, published today, ridiculed the idea of a college fraternity initiating dead people. A leading editorial in the Journal refers to the Alpha Phi Alpha in Washington recently which initiated Frederick Douglass as a posthumous. "The initiation of Frederick Douglass is without precedence," says the Journal.
"Suppose this given act should be used as precedent, just where it is liable to lead? Could our learned and honorable fraternities afford to turn about-face and make raids on the grave-vards in such wise? If they did, just where should they stop? It might not require much stretching of the imagination to suppose the quick spreading broadcast of such news items as, 'The Hon. Nimrod, Mighty Hunter before the Lord, Empire Builder, Worthy Scion of the Illustrious Hami, has been initiated a member of (blank) Chapter of the (blank) Fraternity.' "The roll of the deceased would have every chance of out-numbering the roll of the quick, and at once the old scholastic debate on the number of angels it were possible to perch securely on the point of a needle would arise with all its pristine bitterness, while its sprites in our conclaves occupied seats designed for breathing creatures that are human. The thing is ridiculous!"
"Diamond Joe"
COPEL 34
Joseph Esposito, "Diamond Joe," Republican candidate for County Commissioner, known from one end of the city to the other as the "friend" of the working man," is proving every day that he is one of the best known and best liked men on the Republican ticket. Friends from all over the city are rallying to the support of this man who is known to remember his friends.
Speaks on South Side
"Diamond Joe" has appeared at quite a few meetings on the South Side recently and has had a group of ten ladies headed by Miss Georgia Houston Jones, at his Italian Restaurant on Halsted Street, where he entertained them at dinner. His freedom from guide and frankness has made him a popular and well-liked candidate among the voters of the South Side.
Stand for Fair Play
His record in politics as well in the business world stands out as one who desires fair play for all and he has shown that he will tight for this regardless of creed or color. In seeking the votes of South Side voters he declares that such votes will be for one who will turn every effort for good government and fair representation. A vote for him on April 11 will be remembered by him.

Parker as Clerk of the Criminal Court is of vital importance to us as a people because of the fact that during his term of office he has given recognition to men of merit, regardless of their racial identity. The candidacy of Mr. Parker has received the hearty commendation not only of the judges of the Circuit, Superior and Criminal Courts, but the Crime Commission and numerous other civic bodies as well.
Mr. Parker previous to his election as Criminal Court Clerk was for forty years engaged in the grain business on the Chicago Board of Trade, in which institution he still maintains his membership. He is a product of this state, with a half century of acquaintance with the needs and requirements of its citizenry.
The management of the Criminal Court Clerk's office during the past four years has reached the high water mark of efficiency. This has been accomplished by the sincere devotion of the time and energy of its clerk. Through the re-election of William R. Parker this high standard of service will be maintained for the benefit of the people of Cook County.
The multiplicity of candidates contending for office in the April 11th primaries, makes it of extreme importance that we as a group scan with a critical eye our ballot and see to it that our votes are intelligently cast for the men whose public records are proof positive of their attitude on the great question of human rights. In this particular record of William R. Parker as a public official is a living attestation of the Roosevelt principles of "All men up and not some men down." This fact is made more pronounced by him in the employment of three members of our group in responsible positions in his office.
Mr. Parker is asking the support of all the Republicans regardless of their factional affiliations, holding himself as a candidate of the Republican party. Col. Roscoe Simmons, one of the best known members of our race in this country, in a monster mass meeting at Ebenezer Baptist church, 45th and Vincennes Ave., Monday night, April 3rd, urged the re-election of William R. Parker as Clerk of the Criminal Court.

Mathias A. Mueller is Republican candidate for renomination as Trustee of The Sanitary District and needs no introduction to Chicago voters. Everybody knows "Matt" Mueller.
Born on a farm, coming to Chicago from Randolph County in 1883, he started his Chicago career in the employ of Jones & Stiles Packing Co., later going to Boyd Lindham Co. and then Swift & Co. In 1902, he was appointed Real Estate Deputy for The Board of Review, serving in that capacity until he was persuaded to accept the nomination for Alderman of the 29th Ward. He was elected and served with distinction.
He organized the Lake Building Material Company, of which he was President for three years. Disposing of his interest in this company, he engaged in the real estate and insurance business under the name of Matt Mueller & Co., 5047 S. Ashland Ave., and which building he still conducts. He is also Treasurer of The Gruenne, Mueller Coal Co.
Notwithstanding his business activities, he found time for politics and has consistently represented his Ward in the Council of the Republican Party. In 1916, he was again honored by the voters of Cook County, being elected as Trustee of The Sanitary District, in which office he has made an enviable record. He resides with his wife and two children at 5017 Wood St. He is a member of Hamilton Club, German Club, and many other fraternal and social organizations. He stands on his record of service—Ady.
Unique Record
M. J. H.
The most unique record made in Cook County this year was that of John F. Devine, clerk of the Probate Court. His office made a profit for the last fiscal year of over $41,000.00 over and above all expenses.
The operation of the usual public office in Cook County generally means a heavy charge upon the taxpayers of Cook County. In these days of increasing taxes, the voters can appreciate a public official who makes over $41,000.00 above all the expenses of his office. This profit goes to make up in part the deficit in other offices, and thereby decreases the tax burden and ultimately the rent burden of every voter in Cook County.
This profit was made by Mr. Devine by doing the largest amount of work ever done in the office with the smallest proportionate amount of help. He effected economies without decreasing efficiency. He increased efficiency without increase of cost. His every move was one of a real business man in charge of a business office.
On the other hand he did not forget that his office is one in which widows and orphans are most vitally interested. He devised new safe-guards to protect them against dishonesty or looting of estates. His heart is as big as his brain.
A vote for John F. Devine at the Republican primaries on April 11 means an assurance and appreciation of efficiency and economy in public office. He solicits your support on his record.

James H. Lawley, Republica candidate for renomination as Trustee of the Sanitary District, is a product of Chicago, having received his primary education in our public schools and later graduating with honors from the Illinois College of Law. For the ten years he represented the 14th Ward in the City Council with marked ability, serving as chairman of the Finance Committee' and acting as an influential member of other important council committees.
Always advocating honesty and efficiency in the administration of municipal affairs, he is credited with the introduction of modern business methods in the preparation of the annual budget. This and other reforms, among which was a modern system of bookkeeping and accounting, won the commendation of civic bodies as well as the press.
His business knowledge and his ability to do big things won for him the nomination and election as Trustee of the Sanitary District in 1916, where his intelligent handling of the duties of that office resulted in his election to the very important office of chairman of the Finance Committee of the Sanitary District. "Jim" Lawley, as he is called, combines with an analytical mind a courteous bearing, which combination makes for an ideal official. Advt.

For the past three years he has been associated with the Hon. Edw. J. Brundage as assistant attorney general of the State of Illinois. His record in this once adds more laurels to his proven ability as a member of the bar and one qualified to interpret the law.
Efficient. Capable. Just
All voters of the race remember the late Judge Eberhardt who made a record for himself for his fairness to all men regardless of race or color. Attorney Eberhardt has proven himself to be a chip off or the old block and his activities in the past have proven this. He had four indies who were interested in the reconstruction and his father maintained a consistent disposition to aid in every way black people whenever and wherever called upon. A vote for Alfar M. Eberhardt at the primaries, April II. will be a vote for a man who has proven his fairness and demonstrated his friendliness to the race.

James A. Scott For County Commissioner
James A. Scott For County Commissioner
J. H. B.
The people of our race should show their appreciation for the Hon. James A. Scott, at present an Assistant State's Attorney under Judge Crowe, and a candidate for County Commissioner on the Regular Republican ticket. When the Race was in need of friends—during the race riot in 1919—Mr. Scott very unsulphitily volunteered his services as a lawyer and went to the defense of our boys in jail, and for months he battled in the Municipal Courts of Chicago and the Criminal Courts of Cook County, succeeding in having a large number exonerated. His remarkable defense of John Washington in the Criminal Court—Judge Robert E. Crowe presiding—can never be forgotten, and now that Mr. Scott is a candidate for County Commissioner his friends should rally to his united support, he certainly deserves the honor. Mr. Scott's long years of residence in Chicago has endangered the people of his race to him, because he has always been true, upright and honest, willing at all times to do all in his power for the advancement of that race which has been so sorely oppressed. His so-called defeat, two years ago, for Municipal Court Judge, at the Republican primary, has been throubled in mystery ever since. It is very difficult to understand how the Chicago Tribune and Daily News could have been so badly mistaken when each announced Mr. Scott's nomination for that intership after the primary.
We not fail to go to the polls of Primary Day—the 11th of April and place a cross in the square opposite the name of James A. Scott, candidate for County Commissioner. He is worthy of your support, and if nominated and elected to that office will reflect credit and honor upon the whole race.

NOSEY has at last found out where the rambling reporter for one of the local newspapers sleeps. The wandering journalist has been seen at all hours of the nights and during the early hours of the day, levels one wondered when he slept. He was seen to visit an artist not long ago, a tonsorial artist, and treat himself to a shave and then climb into the boot black chair. He would curl himself in a knot and drift off into slumberland until the proprietor roughly around him and showed him the door. This rambling journalist will soon be in the hospital suffering from insomnia if he does not hire a room.

OUTSIDE of Nosey, the champion baker biter of the city has at last discovered. He was seen on a Sunday evening lastlessly stroking down 35th Street with his pals girl and her lady friend, but the best laid pains of men and mice some times go astray because the back biter was trailed by the mirrored lower and forced to beat a retreat. Nosey noticed that he grinned sheepishly when the real lover joined his party and rudely insulted what does this mean." Nosey knew what it meant and wee he unto the lover it he does not keep his eye on the back biter.

She came, she saw, but she did not encounter. Recently one of New York's famous vampires with some distinctive flapping manners came to the city of Chicago with the full intention of taking the city by storm and capturing the hearts of all of the Johns and Oceans. Last week she thought that the crowning moment of her career had arrived. One of the Johns who wooed her in the "moonlit" and in the glittering cabarres in the midst of his love-making asked her to cash a check for him for one hundred dollars. She had spoken of her flat building in New York, her Rolls-Royce and her unlimited funds and in order to keep up the trout she bravely dished out one hundred dollars, her rail road fare and also the sum total of her earthly possessions. Imagine the flutters around the hearts of the camp when the check was returned to her "NOT sufficient funds". She is looking for a job now to get back to the little town. Barnum was right.

YELLOW, oh Yellow "Come here please." Such were the yell of the young business man's fun companion on last Sunday night. The young business man had just paid the first installment on a used car and was showing it off to his Sweetie. The used car did not want to be used that night and stalled itself on Michigan Avenue for over an hour while the young business man cranked and puffed himself into a frenzy. Lady stood as much as could and the cry of Yellow, Yellow from out of the night was merely the summons to a Yellow cab driver to take her home. She isn't the only one who has been heard to scream Yellow. Nosey's Ford broke down one night.

Don't fail to hear the noted stars: Fielding, Cardwell Thompson, and Harris, they are a scream! Songs are fine and jokes are spicy and dancing you never saw such before on any stage. The end men's quartette is another feature added to the programme this year and quite a side splitting feature. There is old man Lawrence, who will give the public something new assisted by his dancing partner, Edw. White, which alone is worth twice the price of admission if he does not break a leg before the show in this wonderful act. There are a few more numbers which are developing fast and they are really great! I am sure that everybody will be pleased with the show this year, for we are trying to pay for the "Old Folks". Buy your tickets early and avoid the rush, for there will be a chair for every one. Don't forget the date—Easter Monday night at the Eighth Regiment Armory, 35th and Giles Avenue.
Many special dinner parties were served at the Tavern Cafe, 3456 South State street the past week. The delightful and entertaining music of the violin orchestra is attracting crowds nightly.

MT. GLENWOOD CEM
Beautiful Mt. Glenwood
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 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.

Gaining Favor
1930
Senator Samuel Ettleson is gaining favor among his friends in the First Senatorial District and they have declared that he will succeed himself because of his faithfulness to his trust and his many favors to his constituents. He has always voted for the best interest of the people and has been a leading figure in the battle for five-cent fares. He is being backed by the regular Thompson Republican club and the Oscar Depriest organization.
Opposes Wallace Clark
It is reported that Senator Ettleson is determined to defeat Wallace G. Clark, Dinneen candidate, for the Treasurer of Cook County. It is remembered that Clark at one time went on record as opposing the occupation of several colored people in the Kenwood and Hyde Park District. He will be backed up in his fight by the voters of the Third Senatorial District. He is a candidate to succeed himself as State Senator.
A Woman For Congress
Mary Belle Spenser, Republican Candidate for Congressman-at-Large to fill vacancy, is waging a fight for nomination which should bring her the distinction of being the first woman from Illinois to sit in Congress. She is a successful lawyer, fearless, capable and constructive. She supports the Soldiers' Bonus Bill, government reclamation of arid and swamp lands, which means employment and new territory for farm lands and is opposed to any measure which will interfere with the personal liberty of the people. She promises, if elected, to support every measure which will aid the colored voters of this country. She has proven her worth and sympathy for black people in many instances in the courts of Chicago. A vote for her at the coming primaries, April 11th, will be a vote for a friend to the race.
Blind Man For Office
William "Crip" Woods, Republican candidate for County Commissioner, is one of the most widely known men in the city. He has won many friends both white and black, in various parts of the city and now hopes that these friends and admirers will do him the honor of electing him to office which he now sees, making him the first "Blind Negro" elected to public office. At the various meetings which he has attended throughout the city he has made a great hit and invites all who have not heard him to come to the meeting at The Community Center, 3118-20 Giles ave., for which advertisement has already appeared. He solicits your votes in his behalf on primary, April 11th.
Makes Statement
M. B.
Eugene J. Marshall, Republican Candidate for General Assembly (State Legislature), from the Third Senatorial District, in speaking of his fight in that District, seeks to make his position clear with all voters. Among some of the statements made are the following:
1. Hsa been in the fight for the last five years to get proper recognition according to voting strength for the black people of the Third Ward.
2. Stands unalterably against interopers who jump into the Ward at the last minute or who do not even belong in the ward but merely seek to control it.
3. Believes that Bither has not given black people of ward, who are nearly seventy-five per cent of the voting strength, proper recognition.
4. Questions whether Bither and his cohorts can mean the black people any good when he (Bither) supports Wallace Clark, whom The Tribune alleged aided in the attempt to keep black people from living on Forest-ville Avenue, in 1915.
5. Stands for five-cent fares and calls attention to the fact that his opponent, Warren B. Douglas, voted against this measure last year in the State Legislature.
6. Objects to Bither and others using this primary as a means to build up an organization for use for himself in 1924.
He announces that he stands for five-cent fares, cheaper rent, participation in Ward affairs according to voting strength, is opposed to vicious vice conditions and their protection as they now exist, and for a full and freer personal liberty. He calls upon all reasonable voters to think and act at the poll April 11th with their eyes open and the idea of good government and fair practices in mind.
m
Mr. Frank Hickman of 631 Josephine Street, well known by all because of his sunny smile, died at his late residence on March 24. His body was sent to Grey. La., his home. Mr. Hickman had been ill only a short time with pneumonia.
McMurray For Congress
Senator James McMurray of the 5th Senatorial District is the one citizen on Chicago that should be renominated and elected. Of all the highest class men who deserve this honor is Mr. McMurray. His record has been a splendid one. While he is an aristocrat and lives among them and by virtue of the financial standing is held in big hesteem, it is nevertheless true that he has always stood by the great common people and voted for their interests. He gives employment to a number of our people in his industrial plant.
Educating Two of Our Race
One of the big features of his character that stand out prominently is that he is educating two young men of the Black Race. One he is sending to the Arts and Science of the University of Chicago and the other in a College of Pharmacy. This alone should cause every voter of our race in the 5th Senatorial District to vote for him. He is endorsed by the regular Republican Organization of his District and is endorsed by the Legislative Voters League. This League says of him: "Senator MacMurray 'made good' from the outset; was one of the leading opponents of the objectional Thompson-Small measures and made a hard fight to bring about a legislative investigation of the expenditures of the Chicago taxing bodies; a public spirited and courageous member who made an unusually fine record."
Admitted to Illinois Bar
Senator MacMurray was born in Knox County, Mo.; educated in the public schools of Missouri and Illinois and graduated from the Chaddock College in Quincy, Ill., and also from the law school. He was admitted to the bar in Illinois and practiced law at Quincy for seven years. More than twenty years ago he bought the controlling interest in the Acme Steel Goods Co. and became its president, which position he now holds. It is at this plant where he employs a number of our people.
Member of 6th Ward Organization
Senator MacMurray is a member of the 6th Ward Republican Organization and has worked for its interest for the past twenty years. In 1908 he was President of the Taft Club of Chicago and did valuable work in that campaign. In 1910 he was chairman of the Republican Cook County Republican Convention. He is a Mason and a member of the leading social clubs of the Southside and a trustee of the St. James Methodist Episcopal Church; a trustee of the Illinois Woman's College and of Garrett Biblical Institute. Of all the candidates who are running for office in this primary, none deserves our support more than Senator MacMurray.

THE CHICAGO WHIP
For Sheriff
1930
HENRY C.
LAUBENHEIMER
Republican Candidate
FOR SHERIFF
Primary Election
In submitting his candidacy to the Republicans of this County, Mr. Laubenheimer bases his claim for their support primarily on the experience he has gained during his 14 years of official connection with the Sheriff's office and emphasizes that it is his opinion that a thorough knowledge of all the various duties in the Sheriff's office is essential to properly conduct its affairs.
He served under Sheriffs Pease, Zimmer, Strassheim and Traeger, Republicans and Democrats, and since 1918 as Chief Deputy under Sheriff Chas. W. Peters and is entirely willing to leave it to the judgment of these officials and to the thousands of citizens who have come in official contact with him as to how well he has performed his duties.
He was instrumental in working out a concrete plan for policing the country highways. Through his pleadings before the Judges of the Circuit Court and the County Board the necessary appropriations were made to establish a highway police department under the charge of the Sheriff of this county, and no matter who the next Sheriff may be he will find in existence a well organized and competent force for the protection of the public on the highways in the country districts, in command of Maj. Albert Denman, former captain of the Chicago mounted police. He is in complete sympathy with the appointment of Captain Westbrooke as jailler and if elected he will retain his services with full power to maintain the highest degree of discipline in the jail.
Mr. Laubenheimer pledges himself not to aspire to any office during his term and to practice the strictest economy to bring about a reduction in the taxes of this County.

ST. CHICAGO, ILL.
BILL is a good substantial citizen who, like many of us, had, up to a short time ago, never saved his money systematically.
He never really thought seriously of investing in bonds until he was married a few years ago. Being inexperienced in financial matters, he wrote several letters to Ralph, an attorney friend of his, who answered all his questions in a very simple and clear manner.
We have just published a booklet called "An Investor's Letters" which contains all of Ralph's and Bill's correspondence. You will find it very interesting and it may clear up some of the questions you have in your own mind about investment matters.
We shall be glad to send "An Investor's
Letters" free of charge or obligation
to anyone who requests it.

VAUDEVILLE AND MOVIE REVIEW
VAUDEVILLE AND MOVIE REVIEW
By Dave Peyton.
THE GRAND.
The Dumbar Players in a great western drama are pleasing the patrons of this house for the week.
"An Old Sweetheart of Mine" is the vehicle and is based upon James Whitcomb Riley's great novel of the same name. J. Lawrence Criner does good work as the hero in the play and Evelyn Preer is perfect as the heroine.
Chas. Olden as a Mexican does excellent work, and Lionel Monogas as the sheriff was good. Sussex Sutton is a senorita in the play and perfectly does this character.
Alge Hughes, Chas. Moore and Arthur Ray all ably qualify as real dramatic artists. Next week the Dumbar Players will present "The Sign of the Cross," a strong gripping drama in keeping with Holy week.
THE AVENUE
Russell & Hockwald's Georgia Minstrels are entertaining here for the week.
The lineup is about the same, seen here last season.
The company is composed of all high class performers, and a real show can be seen by witnessing a performance. Geo. Bryant has a nice orchestra and band with the show.
Jack Johnson (not the pugilist) is the efficient middleman, and among the notables in the Ohio are the Johnson Broos, Chuck Beaman, Coy. Herd, and a bill of all first class acts.
THE MONOGRAM
Me. Miller, proprietor of this appl
theatre, is offering a great vaudeville
bill for the entire week. Amone the
star acts on the bill are Laura Rady
Tachar and Brown, the Leggett Sisters
and Clark & McGovy.
THE MUSICIANS
The Dreamland Band, under the leadership of May Brady, is fast forging to the front ranks, as a real cabaret band.
The boys are playing as a unit now which shows that attention is being paid to the art rendered to public service.
There are ten musicians in the band and the popular management can be commended in maintaining such a capable musical organization.
The Ladies Inter-Organization of the Musicians Local 208, gave a program to the gentlemen members on last Tuesday, March 28, 1922, at Harmony Hall in the local's building at 1934. So State St. A glorious afternoon was spent listening to the ladies render a wonderful program.
WITH THE ACTORS
Gulpitport and Brown, the famous vaudeville team, are just in from Detroit where they played last week. Andrew Bishop and his dramatic company are playing a four week's engagement at the LaFayette Theatre, New York City. Lew Lamar is now a real vaudeville agent, working out of Carrel's office. Mass and Frye are stopping things for the present week at Chicago's Palace Theatre. Wilber C. Sweatman and company are doing good work and having much success on the Loew time. Mr. Sweatman has four people in his act. The Old Time Darkies will arrive in the city Thursday from Detroit, where they have recently been appearing at a large white hotel. Irwin C. Miller and Emmet Anthony are on the United time, doing

"Sea Lion"
At the Vendone Theatre, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, April 6-7-8, featuring Hobart Bosworth Hobart Bosworth Hobart Bosworth in "The Sea Lion," a whaling master and an ocean waiter. He is a fighting skipper, a "hazer" of sailors from the Behring Sea to the Barbary Coast. She—just a kid, horn and raised on a lonely island and found by the brute master. His impulse was to crush her as he crushed all beautiful things. And when hell tell out of the heavens—when the world was a raging gale—the did. Come and see a whale-chase—hear em yell "There she blows!" It's a whale of a picture.
"Peacock Alley"
"Peacock Alley"
At the Vendome Theatre Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, April 9-10,11-12. Mae Murray in "Peacock Alley." Peacock Alley is a lane just around the corner from the Primrose Path. It leads to the crossroads of the Straight and Narrow and Easy Street; and there every woman must choose her way. He forged his Uncle's name on checks because that hard headed business man was wealthy and his expensive Parisian wife wanted many fine clothes and luxuries. But the day of reckoning arrived and he behind prison walls the young man found out how bitter he had been deceived. But it was a deception far different from what he thought and Mae Murray in "Peacock Alley" pictures what that deception caused
"Dangerous Paths"
"Dangerous Paths"
At the State's Theatre, Thursday and Friday, April 6 and 7. No children admitted by Order of Board of Censors. Neva Gerber and Ben Wilson in "Dangerous Paths." It is the story of a "Bad Girl" and a "Good Girl." Of people who thought they were "good people" until the broad mind, mercy and courage of one man showed them up to be nothing but sinful, hypnotical, selfish sinners. Would you think that a mother, trying to make her daughter marry the richest old bachelor in the town, was torching her out on a dangerous path? A story of a girl driven to sin. Also Buster Keaton in "The Boat."
"3 Word Brand"
William S. Hart, at the State's Theater, Saturday, April 8. He was only a rough, fighting plainsman—but he looked like the Governor! So he kidnapped him—oak his place—and treed the man the Governor had refused to pardon. A RAID—and while their father went down fighting, two lads fled for their lives. One to become Governor; one a rough silent plainsman. Added—Clyde Cook Comedy "Don't Tickle."

LINCOLN GARDENS
BOOMING WITH
NEW ORCHESTRA
The offering this week at the Lincoln Gardens proved to be the best bet yet of the Billy King attractions. A bevy of pretty girls, new costumes, and catchy music. The bill was opened by Wm. Gunn, who is gaining favor with the South Side song lovers; his opening number, "Love Is Like a Bubble," was a tremendous hit.
Mme. Margaret Scott, the most wonderful dramatic soprano of color on the American stage, rendered a classic in such a manner that she was forced to appear in front of the curtain to acknowledge the appreciation shown by the Monday nighters.
Baby Cox, the youngest sensational dancer, put the Shiek on with eight dancing girls lined up behind her, in such "peppery" actions that it carried the house by storms. Marshall Rodgers, who is making all blackface comedians raise their hats when he passes by, was also a decided hit. Mr. Rodgers is excitatively funny as he knows how to keep an audience in constant uproar. The public enjoyed every minute of the show, and furthermore, danced to their hearts content between each of these big acts, to the music of a new orchestra of 15 pieces, which promises to furnish the best repertoire of dance music of any organization in the city. To miss the entertainers and dances given at the Lincoln Gardens this week certainly is missing something worth while.

SPORTIVELY PEAKING
Djever stop to think that when you've got a nickel in your pocket and isn't got no penny to go with it you're broke:
A humorous story is told of a certain well-known fighter, it is said that during the Elks' carnival on State Street said fighter decided to take a trip on the terris wheel, and having seated himself comfortably, pulled a dollar bill from his pocket to pay the five-cent fare, the agent in a supposed burry handed his customer as change, a quarter, half dollar and three dimes, the fighter glanced at his change and yelled, "Let me out," the doorkeeper excitedly complied with his request and the old boy disappeared into the crowd. A disinterested bystander said to the agent: "Do you realize that you gave that fellow too much change?" The agent quickly replied: "Yes, but he will have a 'ell of a time spending that half dollar."
Went to Provident Hospital last week. Yep! Good place to stay.
If you look thoroughly you will see a significance in the fact that we end the preceding paragraph with the word stay, and not go.
We can hardo, say it is a nice place to go in view of the fact that our name is George and besides we once had a cherry tree.
The reason we do not say it is a nice place to go is because in a trip there is usually the result of a knot on your dome, the kind Bert Williams uses to threaten the famous George Walker or perhaps a canal, the direct result of a barber's knife, used without soap, strop or chair—get an Hector?
Of course, saying it is a nice place to stay is something else again. First of all you enjoy your stay because you see ten 100 nurses for every doctor H-A-R-E-M spells haren. "Don't get hurt in the men."
Another good feature, all your attention, carettes and services come from the lady nurses. End of Act One.
With every little good there is a certain amount of bad. So speaking in the terms of Lincoln, wed say: "It is altogether hitting and proper, that you should know about another bunch of attendants hanging around whom we have named doctors or Doc, to be, or something of the sort.
These young Adams, issue the orders more or less (usually more). A taw of their main orders are: No smoking, or using profane languages such as quinine, strychnine, iron or any other bitter words.
After all it was surely interesting to observe the different types and characters of illness. In the bed next to me was a Fatty Arnbuck having his bay window removed. On the other side was an old maid, bride to be, having her gray hair extracted, and replaced with blonde. Also a set of white teeth out in.
Across the aisle was a fellow the squirrels had overlooked who wanted to take me to a spot where I could dig up a whole barrel of gold, saying he had already recovered nine, and there was one more.
One thing the attendants are named appropriately. One of the to be's or internes is called cook that is my opinion also. One of the nurse's name is Credit, something that never existed around this berg, while another answers to the name Camel. Whenever she is addressed we all answer which is O. K, considering, "cause about the only way you get anything stronger than teaseless ice tea is to camel it in under your finger nails.
One old boy brought his own water bottle. Don't know it it was ior ice or hot water, as he never allowed anyone to gill it. Must have been a Thermos, however, as he tested it every ten minutes with his tongue, and announced it O. K, we could always tell when he was testing it as the room smelled sorta "animalish," kinda like a "Mule."

Langford Meets Tut Jackson April 7
DAYTON, Ohio, April 3.—Washington Court House fight promoters are so pleased with the battling of Tut Jackson that they have signed the K. O. merchant against Sam Langford, the Boston Ring Demon, for April 7, at Washington C. H. Jackson will also battle young Sam Langford of Syracuse, April 30.
Both boxers are heavyweights of class so Tut will have to travel fast to win from these masters of ring art. Tut registered his twenty-fourth knock out a few nights back when he dropped Young Ramsey in the first round.

THE CHICAGO WHIP
BLACKBURN BOUT IS "FIRST WATER" TEST FOR RESPRESS
When Calvin Respress, the imported mauler from South America, and Jack Blackburn, one-time mauler Ala-hempuch, whom it is believed has decreased somewhat in value, through his association with father time swap punches at Elgin Thursday night the battle should be interesting from several angles.
This will mark Respress' initial appearance in these sections, and local tans will watch with interest the showing of the man who claims the championship of South America.
Respress, although of lightweight poundage, claims to have gone out of his division to capture the heavyweight laurels of his country, which is quite an accomplishment in itself, as one of the accepted rules of the Queen-shire sport is: it is indeed difficult for a good little man to beat a good big man.
In Blackburn, Respress is meeting a tighter who proved a trouble maker for the best of them when at his best, of course Jack can hardly be figured to be the Blackburn of old, but his backers claim he still swings a wicked punch. Blackburn has had few fights of late, while Respress made his alleged record in another country, thus making it a difficult proposition to force him the winner of Thursday's argument, but regardless, one thing we do know, is Respress expects any consideration in his request for recognition in American fistina, he had better dispose of Blackburn by the knockout route, for the dope based on Jack's previous record plus age shows that Respress with even a portion of his accredited ability should do so.
Several South Side fans are planning to make the trip leaving Thursday morning for the scene of battle.

UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP
A column of constructive criticism of men and measures in the hope of correcting errors and evils.
A column of constructive criticism of men and measures in the hope of correcting errors and evils.
In Knoxville, Tenn., a candidate for Sheriff advertises in one of our newspapers, a black people's newspaper, that if he is elected to office that "he will not shoot any more people in the back as has been done before by him" if they want him for office in the present election. The Sheriff, of wonderful nerve and surprising frankness, does not fear the southern laws and has a very poor opinion of the black people. The newspaper that carried such an advertisement does not put much premium on character.
An injunction has been served upon the contingency of black Shriners in Texas prohibiting the use of the insignia and the Masonic regalia. Altho a secret order, the white Masons are supposed to be Christians as a prerequisite to joining the order. It is another case of Jim Crow Christianity.
A prize-fighter who killed a man some years ago and served his sentence is being received with open arms by the sporting fraternity in Illinois and Michigan. He is a black man. Poor old Jack Johnson was immediately black balled and barred in some states and his fighting films were not allowed. After all, it seems that old Jack Johnson has suffered enough and the reception shown the other pugilist with the murder dye on his escutcheon proves that Jack has been terribly persecuted.
Political issues have arisen in Chicago that have called out some of the most scheming politicians that the race has produced: The ministry has put its finger in the juicy pie and even the Bishops have sought a juicy rakeoff of easy coin. It is regrettable that moral issues should not influence the clergy in politics, but at present it seems that the glare of the "filthy lucre" has darkened their eyesight to the real principles for which Christ lived and died.

CONSTANTINOPLE
The Olivet Baptist Church closed its financial drive for $5,000 last Sunday night. The drive had been on for only 28 days in which time there was collected a total of $847,591; the Olivet Circle led all other departments raising $800.00. The purpose of this drive was to secure funds to pay on the church property. The property at 31st street and So. Park Ave. was purchased about four years ago at a cost of $85,000, this amount has been reduced within the last four years to about $20,000, in spite of the fact that more than $22,000 have been spent on repairs, and general improvements, and interest has been paid to the amount of $16,000.
"You can have all the world, but give me Constantinople; it is the key to the world," said Napoleon to Peter the Great. Napoleon saw that Constantinople was the gateway of both the Occidental and Oriental worlds. It looked out into the great trade lines of the Mediterranean sea and inward into the great trade centers of Europe. The late Balkan wars were fought over the possession of Constantinople, and men will continue to fight for it until the economic problems of great nations are settled. Chicago is the Constantinople of America and the black people are just beginning to realize it.
The church clerk announces that the total receipts for 1921 was $80,121.45. This church is committed to a big evangelical and social program. Que of the recent additions to its work is the Health Bureau, and a free clinic located at the church Community House at 3144 Vernon Ave. The Bureau has on its staff ten of the leading physicians and three dentists, and six trained nurses. A fine motion picture machine has been purchased, and is being used very effectively by the physicians in their health programs. Olivet is trying to save the world
It is the throbbing heart of America, neither east nor west, but where they come twain, apologies to Mr. Kipling. Twelve million black people in America are taxed and receive no representation and a well-known old statesman immortalized the statement that Taxation Without Representation is tyranny. Twelve million black people are tyrannized and Chicago alone seems to be the logical spot where that tyranny can be destroyed and overthrown. Chicago is the keystone to the political future of the black race in America.
both physically, morally and spiritually. In her efforts to extend the Kingdom of God, she has been called upon from time to time to help other struggling churches. She has recently helped to save the property of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church and the West Point Baptist Church, no worthy church or individual ever appeals to her in vain. The large membership is constantly growing, a number of candidates put on Christ by Baptism last Thursday night at the close of the Prayer Meeting, also at the close of the services Sunday night. Last Sunday was indeed a glorious day. The whole church was afire with holy
The slogan is already being heard that "in nineteen twenty-four we must have a black man in Congress," and Chicago is the only city in America where just this thing can be accomplished. If those who can see this situation would only pause for a moment in the great hustle and bustle of life they would realize the strategic position that they hold and would realize, as Napoleon did of Constantinople, that one municipality can be so situated that it controls the destinies of a great race.
Eighty per cent of the voters of the First Congressional District of Illinois are black people and in municipal affairs they only receive recognition on the basis of fifteen per cent voting power. A great dynamo of voting and political strength floats around in the elements of Chicago, Ill., misused, like ether and electricity in the air which science has not yet mastered. Yet the black man's political dynamo in Chicago can be put into action without any research into science. The raising of campaign funds and actual work that must be performed to utilize this potential energy is understood by practical politicians of the black race and only determination is needed. It can be done and Chicago is the keystone to the political future of the race.
If one black man is elected in nineteen twenty-four the eyes of America will be turned upon the district that accomplished the feat and others will get busy. Perhaps the case of the "half man" will be presented and understood in an entirely different light than has been done heretofore. We are capable, or, rather, will be, of electing a representative in nineteen twenty-four who will be a diplomat, a statesman and fighter. Chicago is the Constantinople of America; let us seek to make use of its virtues and opportunities.
From Mouth To Hand
A great change! was wrought in America known as the Industrial Revolution. This change came immediately following the Civil War. It was the adoption of machines to do the work formerly done by hand. It was the first step in the economic evolution of this country. Now the black race is changing drastically from the use of the mouth into the use of the pen. Men who formerly prided themselves and were prided by the public as being great speakers are now writing their thoughts and circulating them broadcast to their people. It is the first step in mental evolution and marks the beginning of the new day when the black people will be swayed by real facts and not flambuoyant fancies.
Some of our recent prize orators are reading and thinking and setting their thoughts into ink and type. They are no longer opening their mouths upon every available opportunity with the expectancy that "God will fill it."
It means that the black people are becoming more intelligent and that they are reasoning from cause to effect and effect to cause. The spoken language does not remain in the minds of men and does not burn itself unto their souls as does the written word. The slippery mind of human kind soon loses the effect of oratorical flight but sincere, sober written word lives forever. We welcome the change from mouth to hand.
enthusiasm as they came to observe the Lord's Supper at the close of the morning service. The next important event in the forts will be the spring revival. The church which will claim her best effemto of the church is all Chicago for Jesus Christ. On the 11th inst., the church will present the famous American tenor, Prof. George R. Garner, Jr., in a grand musical concert at Orchestra Hall. Prof. Garner is well known in musical circles and the affair promised to be the best of the season. At the close of the services last Sunday evening, the resignation of one of the assistant pastors, the Rev. H. B. Hawkins, was read and accepted by unanimous vote. The Rev. Mr. Hawkins is launching an independent work at 35th and Dearborn streets, the old Ebenezer church property. At the proper time the church will secure the services of another efficient assistant pastor to take the place made vacant by the resignation of Rev. Mr. Hawkins.
There will be good gospel preaching, all day next Sunday, and special music by the choirs. All are wel come.
Pilgrim Baptist Temple
There was a repre-sentative gathering at Pilgrim Sunday. The main auditorium and gallery were crowded. It was a wonderful day for a rally. The pastor, Dr. S. E. J. Watson was at his best the whole day through. There is a steady stream of accessions ever swelling the ranks of this magnificent assembly. Four thousand dollars were raised to take up the first bond. This was a signal victory and bespeaks future success.

DELSON
Judge John Richardson, who is now finishing his full six year term as Associate Judge of the Municipal Court, is again candidate for re-election. He needs no introduction to the voters of the Southside, as he has resided in the Second Ward for over thirty-five years, and has been a familiar figure in politics for the last twenty-five years.
He began his judicial career long before the Municipal Court was constituted, being one of the old justices of the peace at 125 S. Clark Street. He has been very active in the politics in the Second Ward since the days of Perry Hull and Judge Haney.
Fair and Just
Aside from his vast experience as a lawyer, justice of the peace and judge, he has been Assistant State's Attorney and other important posts and has many fraternal and civic connections, making him one of the best fitted and experienced men on the bench. He has endeared himself to the residents of the Southside by his willingness to aid them in their difficulties at any time of day or night. He has lived at 3119 Calumet ave. throughout all of the changes. His attitude towards the race has been fair and just. A vote for him at the primaries April 11th will show appreciation for one who stood by us when needed.
Fraternity Man
Richard E. Westbrook, the only candidate in the race for election to the bench of the Municipal court, is creating a precedent in local politics by securing the combined support of all parties and factions. He is an able lawyer
Richard E. Westbrooks, the only candidate in the race for election to the bench of the Municipal court, is creating a precedent in local politics by securing the combined support of all parties and factions. He is an able lawyer with long experience before the bar and should be elected not only as a matter of race pride and representation. Westbrooks has the support of every paper published in the interest of his people. Put a cross before his name on election day.
Charles S. Peterson For President Of County Board
Charles S. Peterson. Republican Candidate for County Commissioner and President of the County Board, has a long record as an efficient and economical business man. Born in Sweden, he came to this country a poor boy and has gradually risen to be one of the foremost business men in the city. He is president of the Regan Printing Company, one of the largest printing concerns in the Middle West.
Although rated as one of the richest men in the city, Mr. Peterson has never lost the common touch and is identified with many charitable interests, so that his name is a watchword in the houses of the poor.
In voting for him at the primaries on April 11th, black voters may rest assured that they are voting for a man who will look after their interests and will be electing a man to office who will make the County Board an efficient and serviceable aid to the county at little expense.

Great Club Woman
A. E.
Myrtle Tanner Blacklidge, Republican candidate for County Commissioner, has proven her ability in her campaign, from the fact that she has shown executive ability in the Recorder's Office, where she has hundreds of girls under her supervision. She is well known to voters of the South Side, having nearly twenty young women of our race under her. She has appeared at many meetings on the South Side recently and has made a host of friends besides the many she already had. In seeking the office of County Commissioner she is convinced like the majority of voters that this county board should have a capable woman on it as most of its affairs have to do with philanthropy or charity work, a field in which women through their clubs have had much to do with. She is a great club woman and recently addressed the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. In seeking the support of the voters of the South Side, she comes with the best recommendation—past record of fairness and efficiency. A vote for her at the primaries, April 11, will mean that the South Side recognizes capability, efficiency and is conscious of her splendid attitude towards young women of our race.
