IV.—No. 47. K. K. YOUR WORRY NOT MINE, SAYS PRESIDENT Klan Problems Must Be Settled By States Much Like Lynching WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25.—Speaking for the Federal Government Monday, President Harding told Governor John M. Parker, of Louisiana, that handling the Ku Klux Klan in that state was his problem, and not an affair of the United States Government. In making the statement the President declined to use Federal agencies to suppress the activities of the hooded riders. It was a case where a Southerner was anxious to forget about state and may have federal authorities assume public power. Governor Parker arrived in Washington Monday to tell President Harding that the Ku Klux Klan activities had reached such scope in Louisiana as to frustrate and nullify the administration of justice by officers of that state. Governor Parker went into conference with President Harding and Attorney-General Danghery. The three remained closed for over three hours. It is said that the southern governor shared to the President that the invasive emperor covered the state, and that state authority remained merely as a form, and had long since ceased to function effectively. Aid Refused After conferring for some time, a statement was made public to the effect that no Federal aid would be given unless open outreaches against the authority of t he state were made. The particular cases on which the governor came to Washington was the attempted assassination of the mayor of Mer Rouge, and the kidnapping of two men, who disappeared last August, and have not been heard of since. 25 STORER BOYS ON STRIKE, BLAME KLAN HARPERS'S FERRY, VA. Nov. 25. More than twenty-five college hats at Storer College have quit the school and returned to their homes, according to the Afro-American. The young men are said to have deserted the school because they were threatened and intimidated by the Ku Klux Klan and because President McDonald failed to sympathize with them. Glaringly prominent exposures have been made of the vice situation in the second and third wards. Pictures have been made and reproduced, locations have been affirmatively stated and individual vice lords and bosses in the underworld have been described. Week after week pitiless publicity has been rained upon the authorities and the administration. What has it resulted in? Here and there a dive would be raided and told to "go under cover" for a while and then as soon as things has quieted down the same "dump" could reopen and again the clarion cry of vice lords would be heard in exultation. OPEN TOWN HERE. The southside is as wide open as a hungry alligator's mouth. It swallows vermin and vileness at each gulp. Everybody knows that the politicians are getting the graft. They are even seen out in public dining and drinking with the "collectors" "A PAPER WITH A POLICY" The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY GAVE HIS WIFE TO "OTHER MAN" WHO LOVED HER MORE LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 25.—"She told me she lov'd the other man better than she did me. I let her have him." Forest Tyrrell, an overseas soldier, concluded his statement of why his home was broken up with these words and Judge Summerfield granted him a decree of divorce. The other man, according to the wife, seemed to wield an influence over Mrs. Leona May Tyrrell. She begged her husband to help her break the spell. When the other man looked at her, she said her brain was in a whirl. She was unable to resist him. Mrs. Tyrrell crept back to her husband and he thought the spell had been broken, but the man again crossed her path and she went away with him. Mr. Tyrrell found them together, and then she confessed her love for the "other man." JEALOUS LOVER SHOOTS HUBBY HE OUSTED Thomas Rutledge, 33. 3441 Rhodes Avenue, was shot in the left thigh Sunday at the home of his former wife, Mrs. Agnes Rutledge, 3552 Rhodes Avenue. Rutledge was shot by Forrest Hand, who appears to have replaced Rutledge in his wife's affections. When Rutledge and his wife separated, Hand took up his abode at the home of Mrs. Rutledge. He is said to have been bitterly jealous of the woman's former husband. Rutledge appeared at his former home on Saturday night. He remained until Sunday. Morning when Hand became unable to further contain his rage. He drew a revolver and shot his rival in the left thigh. BISHOP VERNON BACK FROM AFRICA NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 25.

DEN OF VICE NEAR WENDELL PHILLIPS HI Virgil Williams Gives Startling Statement About Second Ward Vice Virgil Williams, candidate for alderman, startled the public when he stated last week that Wendell Phillips High School,which is the largest and most widely attended institution in the Second Ward, is bordered by one of the most indescribable vice holes in the city. Mr. Williams states that even under the rule of the present administration that in other wards and districts that these places were not allowed to operate in close Virgil Williams largest and most widely attended institution in the Second Ward, is bordered by one of the most indescribable vice holes in the city. Mr. Williams states that even under the rule of the present administration that in other wards and districts that these places were not allowed to operate in close proximity to school houses. Blame is placed upon the present alderman, Louis B. Anderson, and his henchmen. Anderson to Blame "It is almost inconceivable for Anderson to be ignorant of this situation," states Mr. Williams, "and if he is interested in the welfare of the community he will have this place closed immediately." Anderson will be notified of the presence of this place and many others and the public will be able to judge for themselves whether or not he is interested in protecting the thousands of young children from contact with the street and fifth of the city. Mr. Williams states that the must be eradicated and pledges himself to destroy them if elected. In the meantime sentiment on all sides in his favor has been crystalized and the cry of the street is "away with Anderson and his reign of terror." Mr. Williams states that five new houses of prostitution were opened last week on Thirty-ninth Street between Indiana Avenue and Cottage Grove these houses are under the control of the Jewish prostitution syndicate. Olivet Baptist Church which is located at the corner of South Park and Third-first Street is ignored by these vice lords and will hold court according to Mr. Williams. Next week Candidate Williams will open up with some more of his information which is calculated to embarrass Anderson. holds sway, in fact a new game has been opened at the corner of Thirty First Street, only one black man works at this game. At the corner of State and Thirty Fifth the saloon of the late Geo. Holt has been converted in a "stud poker" den. So open is this game that the poker chips can be heard clinking on the street. Many of the decent men who frequent this place during the days of Holt lament the fact that it has been converted in such a brothel. And of course the Brown brothers are still running their houses of prostitutions. Brothers" who are well known to all South Side grovevellers have reopened 3617 Indiana Ave., where white women cater to black men for two dollars and put on displays that would put to shame the most degraded Parisian demi-monde. These men also operate 119 E. Thirty Sixth Place. WOMAN THOT LYSOL WOULD EASE HER MOONSHINE PAIN Mrs. Helen Prince, 22, 4257 State Street, who became a victim of moonshine poisoning Wednesday, thought she would take recourse to another poison to ease her pain. She drank a dose of lysol. Dr. Wm. Gibbs, 4301 State Street, was called in to revive the woman. WOMAN FATALLY SHOOTS ANOTHER "CAVE MAN" Another man who attempted to force his attentions upon an unwilling woman was shot to death this week. He was William Osborn, 38, a married man, who lived at 5210 State Street. He was killed by Mrs. Jennie McFarland, 5218 State Street, after she had repeatedly warned him to leave her hope. Shot on Front Porch Osborn appeared at Mrs. McFarland's home at 7 o'clock Saturday evening. Mrs. McFarland saw him coming, and suspecting his mission, stopped him at the front door. Osborn attempted to force his way into the house, but the woman repeated warnings to not enter the house, but leave the premises. He remained on the front porch and endeavored by persuasion and capolings to gain admission to the house. By this time Mrs. McFarland had secured a pistol and returned to the front door. When Osborn put his shoulder to the door and attempted to force it in, Mrs. McFarland fired four times. Three bullets entered his body, wounded him repeatedly. He was removed to the South Hospital, where he died a few hours later. Mrs. McFarland is being held by the police pending the coroner's inquest. KLAN BUYS ANOTHER CHURCH FOR $25 MADISON, WIS., Nov. 25—The Bethel A. M. E. Church of this city, of which the Rev. F. J. Peterson is pastor, has buried the hatchet and entered friendly relations with the Ku Klux Klan of Madison, according to the Capital Times. The Rev. Mr. Peterson is said to have acknowledged receipt of a donation of $25 made by the klansmen. In receiving the donation the pastor made the following statement: "The board of trustees of our church regard the donation as being made in good faith and has accepted it." The form of twenty-five crisp new one-dollar bills delivered by a messenger on October 30 at the home of the pastor. A letter is said to have accompanied the gift declaring that the Klan "was not an Anti-Negro organization." PARKER FINISHING TERM FOR ILLEGAL PRACTICE R. E.

ARMOND SCOTT'S BROTHER DIES WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25.—Past Grand Exalted Ruler, Attorney Armond W. Scott, was called to Wilmington, N. C., last week to pay his last respects to his deceased brother, Benjamin Scott. 'DOC' ROBINSON STARTS IN ON HIS SENTENCE South Side's Prime 'Con' Man at Last Reaches the End of Rope "Doc" Elbert R. Robinson, who for a quarter of a century has led a fantastic and bizarre career on the South Side, was placed in the County Jail Saturday afternoon to begin serving a sentence of one to fourteen years, following his conviction two years ago on a charge of operating a confidence game. Scarcely a resident of the South Side is unfamiliar with the sight of the grizzled old man dashing through the streets of the city in his high-powered automobile of foreign make. Resplendent in his trimming of silver and burnished brass, his luxurious car was the cynosure of all eyes wherever it stopped. Claimed Valuable Patent "Doc" Robinson, as he was known to all, claimed to be the inventor and owner of the patent by which all hard iron and steel wheels are now made. According to his contention, the patient was stolen from him in the late '90s. He claimed that every street car, railroad train, automobile or other kind of machinery using hard iron wheels was covered by his patent and royalties from them were due him. On the strength of this claim he filed damage suits without number against railway companies, and few lawyers on the South Side have not been in his employ at one time or another. Raised Million Dollars To prosecute his alleged claims he borrowed money from any one he was able to interest in the patent. As security for the money he always gave his personal note, the principal of the note being many times in excess of the amount of money borrowed. The note would mature "when the suits were settled." Thus, for a loan of $10, "Doc" Robinson would issue a note for $1,000. "Doc" Robinson carried his suits from one court to another in such way that the matter has been continually in litigation for nearly twenty years; he even wrote briefs of his own and without the aid or advice of a lawyer would have them filed in any court he saw fit. Finally the whole affair was in such a tangle that both judges and lawyers confessed that they could make neither heads nor tails of the affair. When he filed a brief in answer to confidence charges against him, a certain state's attorney confessed to the court that he could not answer the brief because it "was utterly incomprehensible." In his method of borrowing money it is said that "Doc" Robinson has raised in the last twenty years more than a million dollars. Spent Money Like Water "Doc" Robinson made himself extremely popular with street idlers along State street by the prodigal way in which he spent money. It is said that he gratuitously gave away thirty or forty dollars a day to his retinue of followers. Many time he would (Continued on Page 2.) JANITOR WINS BACK SALARY SUIT FROM STATE DENVER, Colo., Nov. 25.—The board of capitol managers must pay McClellan Rusan, former janitor at the State Capitol, $495.83, for services he did not perform. The board discharged Rusan early in the present year. Rusan, claiming he was under civil service, appealed to the district court, and the latter held that he had been "fired" improperly. Following his victory in the courts, Rusan made demand for the money which he would have drawn from the time he was "fired" irregularly until the day that he was ordered discharged by the Civil Service Commission. The demand was upheld by the supreme court.

GARVEY TRIAL IS PUT OFF ONE WEEK NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 25.—The trial of Marcus Garvey by the United States on a charge of using the mails to defraud in his scheme of selling passage and stock in "phantom ships" has been postponed to Monday, November 27. 1 ANGRY HUSBAND USES KNIFE ON INTERLOPER 'Hubby' Comes Home Too Soon; Finds Wife In Arms of Lover Erlie McCanto, 23, was seriously, if not fatally, stabbed Wednesday morning when Marshall Germillion unexpectedly returned from his work to find him alone in a bedroom with Mrs. Lubena Germillion at their home, 21 E. 38th street. McCanto, self-confessed lover of the married woman, was rushed to the Provident Hospital following the cutting. When he was able to be moved he was placed in the County Hospital, where physicians say he has a slight chance of recovery. Suspected Infidelity Following his arrest, Germillion told police that he had suspected his wife of conducting a love affair with McCanto for several months, but had never discovered enough evidence to charge her openly. Wednesday morning he left for his work as usual, after eating the breakfast prepared by his wife. Neighbors in the vicinity had told him of the visits of McCanto to the apartment during his absence in the day. He remained at his work only long enough to obtain permission for a day off from his employers. He returned directly to his home on 38th street. Opening the front door quietly, Germillion entered the house without giving warning to the unsuspecting lovers. He went directly to the bedroom, where McCanto and his wife were. He attacked the intruder furiously with a knife, inflicting deep wounds on his head, shoulders, legs and arms, in addition to a deep stab in the spleen. McCanto bled profusely. Attendants at Provident Hospital bandaged his wounds and prevented the man from bleeding to death.

PROPRIETORS 'DOC' ROBINSON IS JAILED ON 'CON' CHARGE (Continued From Page 1.) enter a poolroom and present everyone present with a $2-bill. Once, while his luxurious automobile was in the custody of Federal receivers, he hired an automobile by the day for several months at a rate of $15 a day. Creditors Get Uneasy After several years of futilely seeking damages, many of his creditors began to seek judgment on their notes. Most of them were foreigners from the West Side districts, who gather nightly in a dingy room in the 3200 block on State street to hear of the progress of the litigation. Finally, it was declared by some that Robinson's patent had been sold several years ago to satisfy a judgment. On the strength of this charge Robinson was eventually indicted for operating a confidence game. After a trial which Robinson declared was featured by many reversible errors, he was convicted and sentenced to serve from one to fourteen years. Robinson then proceeded to add to the maze of damage suits he had in court innumerable briefs, petitions and appeals, seeking to upset his conviction. He obtained a hearing before the state Supreme Court on the ground that he was convicted in a criminal court growing out of a charge that was still in litigation in a civil court. When the Illinois Supreme Court upheld the trial court, he then took his case into the United States Supreme Court on the grounds that a patent case, over which the Federal courts hold jurisdiction, was involved. When the Supreme Court refused to hear his case, Robinson seemed to be at the end of his rope. His followers are convinced that "Doc" Robinson is being persecuted and railroaded to jail because the amount of damages he would obtain is such a staggering amount that it would bankrupt all industry which uses iron wheels.

As a result of the recent Democratic landslide in New York State, and particularly in the Greater City, Henri W. Shields formerly of Knoxville, Tenn., and with a law office at 135 West 135th Street won over his opponent, Horace Pabmer, the Republican candidate, by a plurality of 2,000. Mr. Shields was nominated on the Tammy tandem ticket, and in the new legislature he will represent the same Assembly district that former Assemblyman John Clifford Hawkins did. For some time Mr. Shields was a resident of Washington, D. C., but on coming to this city he affiliated in politics with the United Colored Democracy which takes credit for the thousands of colored voters that shifted to the Democratic ticket in the recent election.

ADAMS MEN'S SHOP INC. 3139 SOUTH STATE ST. CHICAGO CONGRESS DEFEAT IS WARNING TO REPUBLICANS Under the title, "Fair Warnings Every Evening, one of the leading daily newspapers of Wilmington, Del., in its issue of November 13, issued an editorial warning the Republican party, because of the defeat of Delaware's representative in Congress, Dr. Layton, by colored voters. The editorial bears out the contention made by the National Association for the Advancement of Women, by the Wilmington Advocate that colored voters emancipated themselves in the recent election. The editorial in Every Evening says, in part: "It is an undeniable fact, eloquently revealed by the figures of the election, that the Negro voters of Delaware for once demonstrated their freedom from partisan slavery. . . . Representative in Congress, Caleb R. Layton, gained the strong disapproval of Delaware Negroes by his opposition to the Anti-Lynching Bill now pending in Congress. They protested in advance against his nomination, but their protests were insolently disregarded. And at the election of last Tuesday, when the purely political contest was very close, Layton went down to defeat under an adverse majority of more than 6,000. . . . Now, fair warning is served on the managers of the Republican party in Delaware, that the Negroes will no longer consent to be mere party chattails, but must be recognized in accordance with their numbers and their voting influence in the party."

"Cascarets" 10c Best Bowel Laxative When Bilious, Constipated THE NEW YORK TIMES THE CHICAGO WHIP WHITES DECLARE OR. CURTIS WILL DEGRADE PROPERTY WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25.—John J. Buckley, white, in violation of an agreement to sell a building at 1719 S Street to Dr. and Mrs. A. L. Curtis, has gone into the district supreme court to ask an injunction against the sale. The bone of contention is the fact that Dr. and Mrs. Curtis are not white, and an agreement has existed between all residents in a certain portion of S Street not to sell to any but whites for 21 years. The suit is directed against Mrs. Irene Corrigan, white, who is said to be about to violate the agreement by selling the property. Says She Was Tricked Buckley declares that the defendant, Corrigan, violated the agreement and that when her attention was called to it she declared that she had been tricked and defrauded into signing the contract by misrepresentations of the real estate brokers who negotiated the sale and who stated that Mrs. Curtis was not colored, but white. The plaintiff asks the court to permanently enjoin Corrigan from selling or transferring in any manner the property in question to Mrs. Curtis and restrain Mrs. Curtis from using, occupying, selling or renting the same property, or persons for the period of twenty-one years. The property in the neighborhood described, according to the plaintiff, will suffer irreparable injury if the sale in question is consummated. Mrs. Curtis alleges that she went to Mrs. Corrigan's and was shown thru the house by Mrs. Corrigan and that she made the agreement to purchase the house with Mrs. Corrigan, personally. Mrs. Curtis stated that since they are making a race issue out of it that she will fight the case to the last court. NORMAN CANDIDATE FOR BAPTIST POST WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 22—Rev. N. W. D.

C., objected to his presence after he had hung it heavy upon them in the game wherein his feature playing had attracted the attention of thousands and brought him salvos of applause, Victor Chandler, the promising young colored player, will be the guest of honor at another banquet given by his fellow students in Peabody, Mass. The Charleston players went to Peabody for an intersectional game last Saturday. In the evening a dinner was given for both teams, but the Southernners objected to the presence of the colored American and threatened to leave the hall if Chandler were allowed to sit at the table with them. When Chandler was told of this he merely tucked his hat under his arm and left the building. The next day it was announced that further athletic contests between the two schools have been cancelled. HOWARD GETS RAIN INSURANCE HOWARD GETS RAIN INSURANCE WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 25.—A blanket policy of $3,000 worth of rain insurance has been placed on the Howard-Lincoln football game to be played at the American League Park at Washington, D.

This is a unique step in connection with athletic activities between these schools and shows that a tremendous sale of tickets is looked for on the morning of the game. Mr. Victor R. Daly placed the rain insurance for the game through a large New York Company. The terms of the policy provide that in the event of two-tenths of an inch of rainfall between the hours of 6 a. m. and 10 a. m. the company shall pay to the insured the sum of the insurance regardless of whether or not the game is played.

They are too small to be handled on facing table, necessitating cancellation marks. three extra handlings with consequent delay not only to its but other mails. 3. Delayed in cancellation because they must be postmarked by hand stamp instead of through cancellation machine. 4. Delayed through difficulty in sorting. 5. Liable to losses or damage, as small sizes do not fit letter packages and cannot be tied securely. These odd and diminutive size pieces of stationery have come into use in the last few years, and only appear now in any quantity at Christmas time when the whole postal institution is speeded up to top speed and trying to keep on top of the load, and it will be greatly appreciate if the public will use stationery of the proper size in order that the handling of all mail may be expedited. When small cards or envelopes are used they should be enclosed in an envelope of ordinary size.

Later, Garnett was arrested and in the police court was bound over to the grand jury and permitted to give a $2,000 bond. The case came up be- fore the grand jury June 29 and after much dickering, a charge of assault with attempt at carnal knowledge was placed against Garnett The testimony in the case showed that during a spell of illness, Mrs. Colvin permitted her little girl’ to. do chores for Garnett and it was then, according to the girl's testimony, that she was assaulted by Garnett. Under the gruelling, rapid-fire cross examination of District Attorney Em- erson, Garnett nearly broke down. He turned ashy white. Garnett’s charac- ter witnesses impressed but little many of them having known him but for a very short time, However, an extensive army record apparently reg: istered heavily in his favor The jury was composed of white men; one colored juror being rejected in the impaneling, ‘The verdict wa returned in about ten minutes, FRAT PIONEERS TO MEET IN ST.

"NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL 01 NOSEY was sitting on the curbstone in front of one of those, large houses on Indiana avenue, thinking over his lost fortunes of a few minutes ago. It was early in the morning. A man came up with a rack of bottles which looked like they contained milk. The man put one of these bottles on the front porch, concealing it with a morning paper. Soon along came a man who seemed to have been waiting for this delivery. He opened the bottle, took one drink and left it open. A cat came along and did likewise. Nosey watched the cat, and never has he seen a cat act like that after one drink of milk. Investigation showed that the bottle was painted white and moonshine was the contents. The funny part of it all was that the cat seemed to be on to the name. . . . ON the street cars, Nosey has not noticed many strange things. While on the way home from the loop the other night, Nosey saw a couple who seemed very much interested in each other, and any one would have taken them for them and wife. The lady got off the car, and before she had put her foot upon the ground another lady took her seat beside the man, and her attitude was sweeter than the one who left him. This lady soon got off and her seat was promptly taken by another lady. Attoogether, seven ladies did this. The whole car was interested in the little drama, but they did not see the little slips that each of the ladies received, and neither did the people see that the ladies paused him a coin. The people could not understand his "policy" like Nosey did. . . . SOME of the men in a very popular club have formed an opposition to what they call a "chique" which has been running the club for some time, and Nosey overheard them saying some very uncompromis­tional things about the "crowd" which has灭 the reins in their hands for some time. This group has made out own state and has decided to pick the man that be in theoning election and hope to stir things up a bit Go to it! . . . EVERYBODY is wondering what is going to happen to that fat business man and leader who goes to the loop every morning to watch the interests of the pale faces for whom he has worked for years. Most people are talking about the predicament in which he was found at one of the parties which he and other married men are wont to give sometimes. The titles of this old black-haired Lolhario are beginning to reach his wife and, what is worse, the last escapade has reached the cars of the father of one of the young girls who was enhanced to go to school; the father is oiling up his receiver, while the big, blustering old rascal is using the telephone to make arrangements for another party. --- YOU ought to see the number of men, who are now training to go into the show business and who have selected ladies to show them different dance steps. Five of these gentlemen were coming along the street the other morning just before daybreak executing a peculiar step that was half walk and half dance. Nosey accosted them from the rear and demanded of them what was the big idea. They all wiggled one hand at the questioner and advised him to "shuffle along." Gets Prisoner Just the Same Policeman Joe Teycer of Stanton Avenue is what he calls a "rookie cop." When he tried to arrest Toba Weatherspoon Saturday, Weatherspoon offered stout resistance, and wounded the policeman in the hand. Teycer got his man just the same, and him safely started to the station. "Shaker" Shakes Club A man known only by the pseudonym of "Shaker" successfully shook a head. He was a Federal Street Sunday.

URBAN LEAGUE NOTES The Urban League has had a representative on the Joint Committee of School Affairs, which is exerting pressure upon the school scandal to push the investigation so that guilty or incompetent board members may be singled out and properly handled. The Urban League is the only colored organization to receive public mention in this connection. The officers should be complimented for the amount of space they have given particularly to the recommendations of the Chicago Commission on Race Relations. When a book of the extent and thoroughness of this report is available for public use, every minister, lawyer, doctor, labor leader, school teacher—in fact, all people who have to any degree or extent the responsibilities of leadership should acquaint themselves with it one way or the other. The Chicago Urban League possesses its library and any interested persons may consult it at the League office. Last Friday they allowed four members of the Urban League staff to attend their rehearsal, on condition that they be present. They practiced twice a week—once. They practice twice a week—once. They practice twice a week—somewhere.

It is said that Miller is engaged in re-writing the show and with many necessary changes will send it on its way in an attempt to duplicate the success of "Shuffle Along" which made its big hit at the same time after Miller started out with his "Bon Bon Buddy" show Alex Rogers, one of the men who in the early days did much for the success of the Williams and Walker shows, took exception to a title which he, Rogers, created in the song used with so much success.

Nov. 19—The Howard and Hampton football teams battled for desperate periods here Saturday afternoon in a downpour that each moment threatened to halt proceedings. For Howard, might have meant a saving from defeat and at least another chance had the threats of E. Pluribus been carried out. As it was the clubs want the limit and Howard had to be miserably contented with the short end of a 13.0 score. The defeat of the Howardites came as a complete surprise few people and critics were willing to concede the Hampton's victory. The game started with Hampton receiving the kickoff. Howard held for downs and Hampton punted. The first quarter continued this way until near the end when Howard succeeded in making a first down. The second quarter found Howard with the ball which she was compelled to punt to Hampton after being held for downs. Howard then punted the ball Hampton finding that Howard's line budge, started an aerial attack. The first pass netted about 30 yards to Hampton. This was followed by another short pass and brought Hampton near Howard's goal line which she soon crossed after three downs, Dabney. Hampton's center, taking the ball across. A drop kick scored the additional point. During the remainder of the second quarter Howard and Hampton engaged in a扑击 battle. The second quarter kickoff by Howard. Again it appeared that another contest of punting would be engaged in. However, Howard soon launched an aerial attack and by a number of successful passes came up to Hampton's two-yard line where she lost the ball on downs. Upon receiving the ball, Howard again resorted to the aerial attack which brought wooful results for one of passes was incepted by Carlozzo, fullback to Hampton for 35 yards, and within a few moments Hampton had again crossed Howard's goal. This time the forward pass for the additional point failed. Interest in the Hampton-Howard gamie was usually high and over two thousand rooters for the two teams withstood the downpout of rain to wit- ness it. Every one expected the Howa- ward "warrior" to win, but they were unable to overcome the visitors. Howard Hampton Summary: Williams, Capt. L. E. A. Ruffin Crawford L. G. G. Fruitt Kelly L. G.

Samuel Hall BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 18—Talladega presented a new team with a new determination from the one that lost two games in as many trials leading up to last Saturday, and as a result the strong Morris Brown team could do no better than a tie with her yesterday in one of the hardest tough games seen in these parts for many a old time for the visitors showed their old time for the Edwards, the Talladega backfill, smashed through the Morris Brown defense for a touchdown in the first quarter on a line plunge. After that the game was hard fought. The Morris Brown team with their powerful shift continually marched down the field for gains, but lacked the punch to carry the ball over until the last half when Talladega attempted to punt out of danger, the ball was blocked and recovered by Morris Brown which gave them a touchdown. Neither team kicked goal. The Talladega team is strong, but has been unable to play consistently this year partly due to the lose of letter men of last year among whom were Rivers, Cotton, Cole, Wright and Child. The line has been an experiment all the season, but under the careful guidance of the veteran coach Bragg, the team hopes to come back next year. The Talladega eleven has defended the strong Camp Denning team this year, having lost to Fisk and Morehouse. With the powerful backfield composed of Edwards, Gordon, B. Spencer, Webber and Groves, the team expects to close the season successfully on Thanksgiving Day by playing Tuskegee. CARROLL WINS NAVY BOXING TITLE CARROLL WINS NAVY BOXING TITLE Carrol 'Jins Navy' Boxing Title LOS ANGELES, CAL., Nov. 25— Kid Carrol, of the U. S. S. Arizona won the lightweight boxing championship of the Navy from Richie Mayer, white, of the U. S. S. Texas, in a seven-round bout aboard the U. S. S. Oklahoma. SPORTIVELY PEAKING By Al Monroe A bit of commercialized newspaper ethics have caused colored newspapers throughout the country to become reluctant to the deserving but much omitted praise that our star athletes now playing professional foot ball are entitled to. Some papers offer well sustained arguments that it is not altogether the proper thing to do, to boost professionalism, perhaps not, perhaps so. But when you step to think that the only possible way for a negro athlete to get consideration among the professional football leagues is to first establish a reputation in college, which requires a certain scholastic standing, we observe facts of a different hue. Remember the greatest weakness of the present negroes lie in the tardiness toward which they regard the value of the path leading to the school room. Professional foot ball looks like an inducement. NUF SED. Things that at first seem to reflect upon the justice and value of others oftimes prove to be of great value to them in the long run. For instance, few fair thinking persons can be made to see anything other than an injustice in the act of these papers in "laying off" the accomplishments of these stars, even though they be league professional. But here is the question; is this a fact as is summarized? If so, is it for the better or worse? Just after the close of the major baseball season several clubs of this organization engaged in post season contest with negro teams. In some instances they won, in others they were beaten. Which in no way presented such an unusual or non-imaginable happening as might have been supposed from the way it was reported by some of our scribes. For after all it is a psychological fact that nothing should be taken for granted in base ball. One of these post season series was stained between a club whose personnel included three of the world's champion giants, and the acknowledged best-colored team in or around New York. The world's champion players were compelled on this team through their absence, yet the team was referred to (by the race scribes) as "World's Champion." They lost, and what a thoughtless acclaim appeared in the columns of some of the leading wrestlers. Thus these well-deserved but poorly sponsored athletes were overflooded with the thing that is ridiculously overlooked in the case of the professional football athletes. However we learn that no such interracial baseball games will be allowed next season. Football players of dark skin were the most progressive period and with slims of an even improved situation in the future. Looks like a grand example of the saving. "It all happened for the better." Anyway we are proud to have a chance to say with sufficient backing: the sooner we learn that exaggeration in some cases is a dangerous weapon, the sooner we will reach the place justice intends us to hold. Earl Thomson, great Pittsburgh runner and former champion at 10 mile has at last been dethroned. Thomson was a great runner while he lasted and might be yet wearing the crown as king at this distance had he not allowed his desire to capture titles in other events except in and bad customer wailow. Thomson made many mistakes, but perhaps the most disgusting one was when he went into the wile race against Jole Ray undetectedly the greatest runner at this distance developed in many a day. Not only was Thomson beaten, but miserably one out of three times on the shaving, and yet when we stop to think that Thomson was known to have absolutely no chance with the Sneedy Ray in this event, last year Thomson's manager would allow him to make such a mistake we are at a loss to save. It ruined the great runner's confidence and probably his career. Howard and Lincoln are scheduled to meet on the grid iron next Thanksgiving morning at ten o'clock, this meeting will in a sense determine which team is to be looked upon as the best in negro college circles. Down in the south land the Morehouse warriors of Atlanta are knocking as under all competition, their wins will now be accepted as a matter of fact since they have virtually eliminated all the other southern schools. But no one will be willing to concede their championship honors, even though Howard or Lincoln as the case might be both been defeated. So now as a matter of determining which is a prime why not have the winner of the Lincoln-Howard contest Merchouse, on neutral territory, our Chicago not a bad place for such think so? WARREN TAKES DEFEAT FROM TOWNSEND Before one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a fight at the suburban club, Jack Townsend outpointed Jake Warren in eight rounds of fierce battling last Monday night. Townsend was the more aggressive throughout the fight time and again he sent blow after blow to the face and stomach of Warren, whose ability to take punishment made him some what tough for Townsend. Townsend Becomes Angered After the first four rounds of the fight had passed away and Warren, although hopelessly beaten, still refused to give ground Kid Townsend became angered and went after his man in a manner that made those who saw the fight shudder with sympathy. Blow after blow as landed by Townsend, but each time Warren came back for more. In the third round it looked like a cinch for Townsend when after sending a right to the face changed his attack and sent several murderous blows to the mid-section. The referee was forced to caution the men on several occasions for holding and not breaking cleanly. Otherwise the fight was indeed very clean. It is surprising to us to see how little the different amateur boxers seem to know about the scientific side of pugilism, or not even that they do not seem to have a thorough knowledge of even the common rules governing the game. Last night proved this; perhaps the slackness lies in the referees, but regardless it is high time that they were waking up. Let us hope that the next fight will see boxing, as it should be conducted. WILLEY MEETS HER WATERLOO WILLEY MEETS HER WATERLOO WILEY UNIVERSITY, Nov. 11.—Wiley University, after having defeated some of the strongest teams in these section, finally met her waterloo. And with the same breath we are pleased to announce that Prairie View, another strong team increased her season's honors greatly through this triumph. The battle took place on grazing land at Prairie View 11, and the score was 18 to 6. The Prairie View squad in charge of Coach J. R. Griggsy and accompanied by several members of the faculty left Prairie View Thursday night, November 9 reaching Marshall at 10.37 Friday morning. Wiley is recognized as Prairie View's most formidable opponent and for this season the management will make all possible preparation necessary for a contest of such program. CHAMPS TO PLAY BILLIARDSAT DREAMLAND Chicago is indeed becoming a great billiard center. Last year there was held downtown in the loop, perhaps one of the greatest billiard tournaments the public has ever witnessed. This year the interest is centered on two of the world's greatest colored players, Mr. J. W. (Bam) Sims of Chicago, Ill., and Mr. Minor Haney of New York City and Buenos Ayres, South America. Mr. Haney has played all three Europe and South America and has defeated every colored player that he has met expect Mr. Sims. They will play 1,000 points of 18-inch balk lines (2 shots in.). At this respective game Mr. Sims has successfully defended his title since 1917, has won the championship game. Most all of his Chicago friends believe that he is unbeatable. This game will be staged at the beautiful Dreamland, 3520 South State Street, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon and evening, November 28 and 29, game called promptly at 2:30 in the afternoon and 8:30 in the evening. They will play in blocks of 250 points at each performance. You will also be entertained by the regreat treatments after the match. Admissible: 1. BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR 8'TH CAGE FIVE From the Eighth Regiment we gather information that one of the strongest teams ever as molded at the soldier caging place is being whipped into line. The regiment has always had a strong team, although one of the lightest in local circles is always a tough bunch to beat. This year they have added weight, and if their early practice form stands for anything are likely to sweep Chicago and the invading teams into at least a bit of surprise. Some Old Army Men to Play We understand that three star players who formerly played with the 25th recently released will be in the lineup of the Illinois soldier boys, the name and records of whom will be announced in next week's issue.

THE CHICAGO WHIP LD OF RATTLING TOWNSEND COMING "CHAMP" 1 ARKANSAS BAPTISTS DOWNSHORTER,31-0 LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 14—Arkansas Baptist College defeated Shorter College of North Little Rock 31 to 10 last Thursday. The two teams are old rivals and the students were out on masse only to see a A. B. C. triumph piling up 25 points the first half not allowing Shorter a first down. The Shorterites braced in the last half and held their opponents to one touch down. This is the A. B. C.'s third victory of the intercollegiate association of Arkansas, having defeated Branch Normal College 19 to 0 and P. S. C. 20 to 0. Neither team was able to get past the 30-yard line, therefore A. B. C. goal has not been threatened. Eight varsity men were lost by the graduation route but Coach Oliver has built around the old men a machine that works with clock like movements. The team no doubt has the lightest man in the college football playing a quarter, his name is Hibbler, 15 years old. He is a veteran, the team team like a veteran. The other back field members are Hooker, full backs Williams and Rollins, half backs. The latter adept at broken field running and is a consistent ground gainer. Men on the line who deserve special mention are Stanmore, right tackle; Captains Jackson and Barker all state ends. They are all dangerous men on the offensive and defensive. Barker does the kicking and most of the pass defense to all corners. His running mate, Jackson is generally on the receiving end. His longest pass of the season being 56 yards.

GAME CANCELLED One of the greatest disappointments of years came to the people of Atlanta last Saturday, when the annual football game between Atlanta University and Morehouse College was not played. These institutions have been football rivals for more than twenty years and their game, from a local point of view is the outstanding football feature in Atlanta. This year the game was scheduled for Atlanta University campus and that team was to supply officials. Four days before the game Atlanta University informed Morehouse who the three officials would be. Morehouse accepted one and rejected two, stating in writing definitely what the objections were and asking Atlanta University to name other officials. Atlanta University replied that the objections of Morehouse were not reasonable and insisted that the game be played with officials all ready named. It may be informing to state what were the objections. One of the officials is a gentleman who had officiated in several games in Atlanta this year. His work has been very faulty and for this reason Morehouse objected, giving specific instances of his mistakes. The other official is a gentleman who is not known to Morehouse at all, yet during the entire interchange of correspondence Atlanta University made no effort whatever to enlighten Morehouse as to this gentleman's record and standing as an official, but insisted that he be accepted. Morehouse contified to refuse these two men, but also continued to ask that other names be submitted. The final reply to this request was a letter from Atlanta University to Morehouse, stating that the game was canceled because Morehouse refused the first official decreed. As it is well known that Atlanta University is a spirited spirit of the game depends upon the officials' acceptability to both teams Morehouse felt that it was nothing more than good sportsmanship that her objections be regarded; and regretted that Atlanta University canceled the game instead of acceding to the requests of Morehouse that other names be submitted as officials. The Tiger squad is being pointed now towards the annual southern classic between Fisk University of Nashville, Tenn., and Morehouse College. We'll be here this game the Tigers journey to Knoxville, Tenn., to meet Knoxville College. CHICKEN IS MY SPECIALTY I DON'T SERVE COLD STORAGE FOOD I kill a chicken for every order.

Saturday—The Echo de Sports today publishes a detailed account of the meeting of the French Boxing Federation at which the Senegalese Battling Ski was disqualified for nine months for his attack on M. Cuny, manager of the Boxer Prunier. Cuny joined Descamps, manager of Georges Carpentier, in entreatying for an acquaintance saying: "Of course, it is done, but it really requires ability. He holds a title too heavy for him. He is a child who has been allowed to play with a gun." Descamps recalled that his protege, Carpentier, always had upheld the dignity of boxing—in fact, that he had been christened "the Ambassador of Muscle." "Don't rub him of the chance of recovering from Ski that which he has lost," he pleaded. Various proposals for the length of disqualification were put forward, ranging from two months to two years, and the nine months' sentence was finally accepted as a compromise. The writer declares the color question was in no way involved and that it was not even consider. ' He proposes that, as Siki volunteered for military service in 1914, he might be given "amnesty" in celebration of Armistice Day. The culprit himself aroused certain sympathy before judgment was announced, declaring: "When I was plain Siki no attention was paid to my tricks; they were only laughed at. But since I became champion people get angry." His manager, Hellers, accepted the situation philosophically, saying that "it was bound to come sooner or later." "Siki has a heart of gold," he added, "but nerves that he cannot master. He thought that his action would prove him a true sportsman in the eyes of the spectators. "He never wished to go to America among the people who, he said, 'despised Negroes,' and I had the utmost difficulty to get him to promise to cross the channel to fight in London. 'He has often declared that if no longer able to box he would sell shoe blacking and he quite as rich, and insisted he would prefer to abandon his pugilistic titles if not allowed to live as he liked."

The fight will be to a decision and a twelve-round affair. The fight should be interesting, as Jackson and Tate have a record among the best battlers that are about equal. Both having lost to Wills and then to complicate matters somewhat we are reminded of the fact that Sam Langford holds a decision over Tate while Jackson mailed Mister Langford rather ruthlessly in their recent fight at Toledo, Ohio. Late Should Wince. Although Tate lost to Langford and Jackson we over the aged "Tham" we are of no opinion that Sir William will prove the master of the overrated "Tutter." Jackson is a fair fighter or we might even go so far as to say a great battler, but he is certainly not of sufficient poundage to meet such men as Wills and Tate, anyway it will be an interesting fight in view of the fact both men present a career that is filled with upsets and surprises. For instance, Tate, although no match for Harry Wills, always proves just tough enough to prohibit the great Harry from landing the knockout punch. As for Mr. Jackson, we cannot speak so favorably Tut was supposed to have a tough battler in all his fights prior to the one with Wills, but it was not a challenge when he faced Dempsey's challenge however, confidence is a great thing and with the confidence that was missing when Tut met Harry flying around in abundance Mr. Tate may meet a fight altogether different than the one who took the count from Harry Wills.

The black race may be behind the other races in culture, class and social distinction, but when a “beauty secret” is given to the world they are never late in grabbing it. They seize it and snatch it before they know what it is. For example, the latest thing on the market for the beautification of the skin is “medicated mud.” As soon as white people mixed up a little mud and refined it and put it in small jars and advertised it as being capable of making beauty over night, the black people were converted to it. Now they are makirig beauty mud themselves, avowing and swearing that it is the “sine qua non” of beauty. Black beauty is different from white beauty and black skins are different in texture from white skins and even if this mud did create beauty in white people there is no assuring argument that it would beautify us. We mimic even with mud even before we think. This trait is noticed in other vicissitudes of life, such as drinking, smoking and dancing in new fangled fashions. Sometimes this parrot like quality is going to get us in trouble. TWO-FISTED PREACHERS Chicago needs some two-fisted fighting preachers who will make their presence felt in the community. We all know that the ministers in mass action in this city could break the spell and thraldom of vice which now grips the very vitals of our restricted districts. It has been impossible for the Chicago Whip to paint with propriety the existing evils. We cannot overlook the fact that newspapers are read by women and children in the homes and the bare recital of the vice conditions would not better the morale of growing children, but these conditions exist in such terrible proportions that good citizens must become duly alarmed if they hope to build up decent self-respecting communities and wholesome-minded offsprings. The combined strength of all of the ministers in this city would break the backbone of the vice trust which has made this, our dis- trict, the cesspool of the city’s filth. ‘Sissy preachers” can do no good and those who have their heads raised so high in the heavens that they cannot see what is going on down here on earth can do no good, but two-fisted fighting preachers who mould and control the sentiment of the majority of the black citizens of Chicago can do some good. We do not expect petitions to the Aldermen to do any good as for obvious reasons the Alderman is already informed thru the press, assuming for the sake of decency, that he was ignorant all along. But we do know that men of courage and men of might who themselves are not shackled and bound by the gold and silver chains of the vice rulers could raise so much Cain in this city that they could get a hearing and some positive action. If the same energy and zeal was used by the preachers in break- ing up vice as was uced in calling on candidates for office in the last election and securing “checks and donations” for Calvary’s sake that a change in affairs and conditions would be the speedy resultant. Some time ago the ministers of the city pledged themselves to set aside a Sunday to preach against the terrible conditions in our dis- tricts. Only five or six of the Honorable Divines had the moral courage to fulfill their promises. Now no minister in Chicago is any greater than his followers and when the members of the different churches learn the true situation, which by all the Eternal Gods they will in the course of time, then some of these weak-kneed and graft- snatching pupiteers will be embarrassed and chagrined. Real men ask no money or quarter from these evil reptilian vice lords who corrupt, contaminate and defile our districts, our women and our children. The ministry cannot conscientiously ignore the causes and effects of these conditions. The cause is crooked political influence granted by men who hold office by the virtue of our vote and of our own race and the result is the black eye that is plastered upon our residential districts, and the morals of those of our ccmmunity are placed in precarious jeopardy. The Chi- cago Defender is silent and the majority of the ministers are conspicuous by their sealed lips. Oh, what power vice has! We need some two-fisted preachers to fight along with us in mak- ing our neighborhoods what they should be. SUPPORT L. K.

So often such victim feels “all in,” with no ambition to work, or, in other words, “out of sorts.” Each time a person catches a “cold” it should be remembered that he or she has an infection, just as a person who has measles, whooping cough or any of the so-called infectious diseases, This “cold” infection may be either mild or severe, its severity depending upon the resistance of the host. © Modern science has discovered the cause of “colds.” It is due to a definite germ that hibernates in the respiratory tract, and when a person's resistance is lowered or when a person is exposed to another person having a “cold,” the result is that the “cold” is caught. ‘The Prevention of Colds The main idea in the prevention of “colds” is to keep the body resistance normal. ‘The preventive measures consist of proper bathing to keep the skin in good condition, proper clothing (depending on the region, season and ‘expawure),, proper heating and_ ventilation ‘of living rooms, bedrooms and buildings in which persons are employed, and, in case of the child, proper heating and ventilation of school rooms. Exposure to sudden changes of the atmosphere, as from hot to cold, and exposure to wet and dampness are important factors in catching. colds, Too many windows being open at night may cause direct draft over the face. Fresh air while sleeping should be governed by common sense In children, cold daily sponging of the child's face, neck and chest, fol- Jowed by quick friction, is a splendid means of decreasing the likelihood of catching “cold” or becoming chilled. Older persons may tale showers or cold plunges in the morning, if it is advisable in individual cases. j Tt should be especially urged upon everyone not to subject themselves to unnecessary infection by being in crowded cars, stores or, various assemblages, | where it is impracticable to avoid close contact with coughing or sneezing per- sons who do not properly protect the surrounding atmosphere by using hand- kerchiefs. i The family should be taught that the exchange of handkerchiefs and the use of the same towel or drinking glass by members of the family is often the cause of “colds” and sore throats, spreading from one person to another. “THE NIGGER” ~ ee T.

By Mary White Ovington, Chairman Board of Mirectors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mace By Clement Wood. Published by E. P, Dutton & Co., New York City. Price $2.00. Postage 10c extra. | The theme of this new novel by Clement Wood is that the Negro is not permitted by the white man of Alabama, where the story is taid, to rise above the status of the title of the novel. Emancipation, the hope of i older generation, has not brought liberty to the younger. ‘The old grand- mother, before she dies, assures her husband that the emancipation of which | he fondly dreamed is only to be found in Heaven. “You been lookin’ fer: ‘mancipation in de life w'ut is; but dis here ‘mancipation ain’ gwine come till de life to come.” And judging from the fate of the colored people in the book she is exactly right. Out of a family of seven all, in one way or another, fail to live and win happiness. ‘The soldier dying in France, thé other soldier killed in America, the ne'er-do-well, the daughter nearly whit who, for a time, goes “over the line” to return home with her baby, the tired drudges, these are her children, To all has come little but suffering. Naturally, hers is the cry of the slave, that liberty can only come in another world. ‘The picture of the white men and women in Mr. Wood's novel makes ‘one understand the fate of the colored. No abolitionist ever painted the white southerner so cruelly as this son of Alabama. His whites are not only cruel to blacks, In his first novel, “Mountain,” he describes the father of the hero, a rich manufacturer, as cruclly beating his little son every morning, day after day, because he has committed a single act of indolence. It seems as though this author meant that we’ should get out of our minds the picture of the kindly slaveholder, so popttlar with the earlier southern writers, and | remember the overseer who fulfilled the law of the slavcholder, and day after day beat the defenseless people within his power. ‘The whites in Siribting’s “Birthright” were cruel, but they had a touch of good nature, They did their cheating with a laugh. There is no laugh in “Nigger.” From the time Jake and his family appear upon the scene until the last page when the old man’ shivers tortured by his memories, there is tragedy. “Futility,” that might| be the title of the story. It is futile for a Negro to be educated, it is futile for him to fight for his country, it is futile to attempt to be white, It is even futile to give up the struggle and be a “no account nigger,” for to the ne‘er-do-well Tom, the most alive of the figures, comes only sorrow. Don't expect to be anything but a “nigger,” at least in Alabama. ‘That is the gist ‘of the story. It is evident that the author believes this will not be changed unless we have amalgamation. “As long as cither race had as its embition to remain fitse there must be conflict. For equality meant sameness, oneness.” So his light colored girl thinks, and, seeing only sorrow alcad, is tempted 10 “ill her light colored child. % Clement Wood has written a great tragedy; and it seems only just that in Birmingham, the city of Octavius Roy Cohen's ridiculous Negro sketches, we |should have this dark picture. ‘That it is unduly dark every: Negro will feel But it is a swiftly moving picture of suffering, that flashes across the pages as a moving picture flashes across the screen, Sometimes it is pathetic, some times gigantic, No one can follow it in its swift motion and be unmoved, UNDER THE LASH OF THE” 477 EM Gi q WHIP 4 ae 5 ieee Teo ii, py SKeq We 9 cee i VY WIS eK YB x] fmm | 1 [Gy OR 6g A A) [sere en SiG, PVE ly 5 — eS S"rolumn of constructive criticism of men and measures ia the heve of correcting errors and evils.

We do not doubt that Mr. Lowell feels that way; | many intelligent white men in their sane and sober moments se given to the same way of thinking. Mr. Lowell's family tradition should compel him to feel that way. His people were abolitionists. Yet we are afraid that Mr. Lowell is not going out of his way to give the black man a square deal.
