PERRY W. HOWARD KILLS BILL War Dep't Brands "Black Horror" Tales Untrue RESCUES WIFE, BLOWS OUT MAN'S BRAINS PRICE 5 CENTS PERI War D RESCU ASTOUNDING ACCUSATION IS MADE Claim Death of Good Bill Is Due to Howard's Thrust NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 16—Assounding revelation of the activities of Perry Howard which contributed largely to the defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill has been made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The association has made public the text of a letter written by Howard to Senator Durtont of Delaware, dated November 23, just three days after the opening of the special session of Congress, at a time when every effort was being made to have the bill passed. Republicans Grew Cold The letter, which Howard wrote to DuPont, other Republicans, and several Northern Democrats, immediately had a perceptible effect upon several senators who had previously been heartily in favor of the bill. As soon as the fight came up on the floor of the Senate it was noticed that certain senators who had been depended upon to sponsor the bill were strangely silent. Officials of the association believe that this change of front was due effected by Howard's letter, which termed the association "political Polishists," and insisted that no legal isolation should be enacted "by reason of the N. A. A. C. P. or its sympathizers." Howard's Letter Howard's letter is in part as follows: "I received your letter of November 22 upon my return from the West where I have been almost the entire time since the close of the campaign. "I confess to you that I have blood in my eyes for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and others who have used them with sinister designs to defeat some of the best friends that we have in particular and the nation in general. "The purpose of this letter is to call attention of you and other outstanding statements to the fact that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is purely a Negro Democratic organization and has always been found on the side of the Democrats in the final analysis. This organization was used by Bob Nelson and others, and you owe your defiance to no other agency. I corrected the evil in Wilmington and if I could have gone into the Dover neighborhood on the following Monday, I could have saved the day, but I had an engagement to fill for Senator Frelinghuysen and you know it was impossible for me to do so. "Now, I may call attention to the fact that whatever legislation or whatever else is done for the colored people of this country ought certainly to be done and done promptly, but I insist that none of it ought to be done through or by reason of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or any of its sympathizers. "I therefore think that it should be the policy of the leaders of the party like you to absolutely ignore and give the back of your hand to such men as Nelson, James Weldon Johnson, W. E. B. Du Bois, Robert L. Vann or Pittsburgh and others of their ilk, should be no quarters; and while treating every colored man with fairness, we must not neglect the est of our group, these political Bolsheviks should be annihilated as the basest of inrates. “(Signed) Perry W. Howard." (Signed) Perry W. Howard. In Mr. Howard's letter to Senator DuPont, it was stated that copies were being sent to Senators Frelinghuysen, McCormick, Watson and Moses, also to Attorney General Daugherty, who it is presumed would be interested in the charge by Mr. Howard that Messrs. Nelson, Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson and Vann are policymakers. "Sheists!"

WILLIAMS KEEPS HIS PROMISE; CLOSES A DIVE According to his promise made to certain women's clubs recently to close on his own initiative certain houses of vice and prostitution on the southside, Virgil Williams, candidate for Alderman of The 2nd Ward made good and secured the closing of one of these this week by inquiration. He has been done in Anderson, says Mr. According to his promise made to certain women's clubs recently to close on his own initiative certain houses of vice and prostitution on the southside, Virgil Williams, candidate for Alderman of The 2nd Ward made good and secured the closing of one of these houses this week by injunction. This has been done in spite of Louis B. Anderson, says Mr. Williams. ORGANIZATION GROWING Having opened headquarters at 3423 Indiana Avenue, Mr. Williams has begun his campaign in earnest against Louis B. Anderson, present incumbent and is preparing to tear the mask off of the vice and prostitution which has so disgraced the Second Ward under the rule of Louis B. Anderson. FIGHT JUST BEGUN Mr. Williams says that his fight on Louis B. Anderson has just begun and his success in bringing the injunction against the house of prostitution shows to his friends and supporters that he can do things and that Louis B. Anderson has failed. If he cared and could do it with much more case than an individual citizen. ANNOYS LANDLADY, CUTS HER AND HUSBAND Albert Watkins, 38, and wife, Mrs. Mary Watkins, 4543 Evans Ave, were painfully, although not seriously cut by Harry Jennings, a roomer in their home Wednesday, Mrs. Watkins complained to her husband that Jennings had made several advances to her. When both husband and wife confronted the man, he attacked them with a knife, later making his escape. CHICAGO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16th, 1922. "HELLO GIRLS ARE MENACED BY NEW VICE DEN The southside will soon be the real redlight district of the city if houses of prostitution continue to increase within its limits. A new house opens every few days and such house is equipped with a bevy of fallen girls. These girls are almost all white and they cater almost exclusively to white men but here and there we find one which invites any and all who have two or three dollars. The north east Park Ave. is the latest site of prostitution and the old Boulevard Cafe is now a den if infinity. In Syndicate. The Boulevard Hotel is across the street from the Roosevelt bank and the Liberty Life Insurance Co., just one block removed from South Park M. E. church, the telephone company has its Douglas Exchange just a few doors removed from this place and hundred of young girls must see this den and rub shoulders with the vilest people in the city, and the proprietor of a famous and colorful cabaret is involved and the graft collector of the district below Twenty Sixth Street is also one of the twenty-four families in the city's universe. It is also linked in with this hell hole. It is reported that this place, located at 360 E. 35th street, is protected by the syndicate. Letters received The Chicago Whip is in receipt of several letters informing and complaining of the character of this hotel. It has been suggested that a move for a special grand jury be made and a general airing be given these conditions. The Illinois Vigilance Association is beginning to concentrate on Southside Vice and surprising conditions will be revealed. POLICE SEEK PARENTS OF DESERTED BABY Police of the 48th St. station are seeking the parents of a lusty two-moths-old baby found in a hallway Saturday at 124 E. 41st St. The infant was found by Robert Duncan, 20 E. 44th St., who was visiting friends in the building. WAR DEPARTM'T FINDS "AFRICAN HORROR" A LIE Black Soldiers on the Rhine Acted as Other Troops There WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 16.—In a letter recently written by Adjutant General Robert C. Davis, the War Department makes it known that stories of the "Black Horror" on the Rhine emanating from German sources, have been officially discredited by the War Department. The letter was written in reply to an inquiry by one Jonas Lippman who had forwarded to the Adjutant General a translation of a German magazine, in which an article was written declaring that "It America knew," the Yank doughboys would return to the Rhine, this time to fight the French. War Department's Letter "WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 27, 1922—The Secretary of War directs me to acknowledge, with thanks, the receipt of your letter embodying a translation of certain statements published in a German weekly paper of New York City and said to have been uttered by an American officer named Edward J. LeBlank, relative to the presence of colored French soldiers in Germany. "In reply you are informed that, because considerable correspondence on the subject had been received by the War Department, the commanding general of the American forces in Germany made a very careful investigation of the question, and in 1921 submitted a complete report of conditions incident to the use of colored troops in Germany by the French which indicate that public statements concerning the matter were exaggerated. The report stated in substance as follows: "There were in the Army of Occupation some French colored troops, natives of Africa, composed of such races as Arabs, Algerians, Moroccan and so forth. Such sexual crimes as were committed were individual and rare, not differing in degree or proportion from those committed by the Germans themselves, and the French authorities, as shown by the records, have been diligent in investigating such cases and punishing the guilty. The report concludes with the statement that the wholesale atrocities of every nature alleged in the German press to have been perpetrated by French colonial troops, were considered false and intended for political propaganda. "In view of the fact thus elicited by the investigation, it is not believed that the alleged utterances as quoted in your letter have any material foundation, and, incidentally, there is not now nor ever has been an officer of the American army named Edward J. LeBlank or LeBlanc. However, your interest in the matter and the spirit of Americanism which prompted its presentation is much appreciated by the department. Very truly yours, "B. H." "ROBERT C. DAVIS, "The Adjutant General." SENATOR WOULD RAISE SHAFT TO "MAMMIES" WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 16.—The memory of "the faithful colored mammies of the South" would be perpetuated in bronze or granite under a resolution offered by Senator Williams, Democrat, of Mississippi. The measure directs the chief of engineers of the army to select a site and permit efferson Davis Chapter of the United States Army of the Confederacy to erect such a monument in Washington as a "gift to the people of the United States." AFRICANS MIX BLOOD OF 200 GIRLS IN MORTAR In Africa in the last century a king of Ashanti, wishing to secure the favor of the gods for his palace, had 200 girls put to death, and their blood mixed with the mortar for the new edifice. In Mexico, where human sacrifices were very common, the rain god was propitiated by the sacrifice of children, and to insure a good harvest men and children were sacrificed to the spirit of corn. DR. WILLIAMS NAMED LEADER OF BAPTISTS At the end of a session replete with dramatic incidents, Dr. L. K. W. Williams, D.D., pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, of Chicago, was elected president of the National Baptist Convention in St. Louis, Friday. The National Baptist Convention is the largest religious organization, Protestant in America. Dr. Williams is pastor of the largest Protestant Church on earth. His membership numbers 10, 600. The sessions were held at the King Theatre, in an exclusive white residential district. At the opening of the convention the residents of the district made a protest against the meetings, and violence was threatened. A special detail of police was ordered to guard the sessions, but no disorder Many Aspirants Among those who aspired for the presidency of the convention were: Dr. W, H. Moses of New York, Dr. W, B. Parks, Dr. P. James Bryant of Atlanta, Ga., and Dr. G. W. Norman. At the beginning of the ballotting, it was evident that the fight for the chair made vacant by the death of Dr. C. E. Morris, would be a spired one. When Dr. W, B. Parks entered the race, Dr. Moses withdrew his name, in favor of Dr. Parks, who had served for several years as vice-president. Dr. Morris, Dr. P. James Bryant that also yielded in favor of Dr. Parks. Dr. Norman of Washington, D. C, then threw his strength to Dr. Williams, who was left alone against Dr. Parks. Other candidates had in the meantime thrown their strength to the successor of the late Dr. Morris. Voting began at 2:30 Friday afternoon, and canvassing was not complete until near midnight. A final canvass showed that Dr. Williams had won the election by the narrow margin of thirty-nine votes. Dr. Parks was then unanimously elected vice-president. He declined this honor, however, in favor of the Rev. Mr. Taylor, of Louisiana, who was elected without opposition. Los Angeles was picked as convention city for next year. COPS ROUGH ON BISHOP OF "ALMIGHTY GOD" NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 16.—"Archbishop" Samuel D. Oliver, of the "Church of God Almighty," is being held in jail here in default of $3,500 bond, charged with soliciting funds for a charitable organization without a license. The "Archbishop" was arrested at his home, 1470, Fulton Street, Brooklyn. When arraigned in court, he explained to the judge that he was raising $7,000,000 to establish a colony on Beulah Farm, Vienna, Ohio, where he would reign supreme.

MOSLEY; IS KILLED REPUBLICANS PLAYED FALSE SAYS JOHNSON Republicans Quit Fight; Double Crossing Dyer Bill Supporters Johnson, secretary Association for the Colored People, on session of Congress. The Bill had been called up for consideration on Tuesday, November 28th. It immediately became the object of a filibuster on the part of Southern Democrats which was the most naked and brutal exhibition of its kind ever made in the Senate. A filibuster is generally carried on under some sort of disguise, but Senator Underwood of Alabama, the Democratic leader, stated plainly and bluntly that the purpose of the filibuster was to prevent any consideration whatsoever of the Anti-Lynch Bill and that the Democratic side would not allow any Government business whatever to be carried on until the Republicans agreed to abandon the Bill not only during the extra session, but even during the short session. The filibuster was carried on from Tuesday through Saturday, December 2nd, during which time the Southern Democrats would not even allow the adoption of the record of the Senate's proceedings. Finally, on Saturday night a caucus of Republican Senators was held which was largely attended and the question of the abandonment of the Bill was discussed hotly for more than two hours. The attendance at the caucus dwarfed that of two or twenty-three Senators left. A vote was then taken and the majority agreed to abandon the Bill. There were nine Senators who voted to keep up the fight until the 4th of March, if necessary. Among these was Senator Shortridge, who has charge of the Bill, and who led the fight on the floor. "Before the Republican caucus, the secretary conferred with Senators Lodge, Curtis and Watson, the three MITCHEEL SIGNS TRUST DEED FOR $100,000 RICHMOND, VA., Dec. 16.—In order to protect the depositors of the now defunct Mechanics Savings Bank, John Mitchell, former president, has signed a trust deed for $100,000 in favor of the bank and the Knights of Pythias. The trust deed is secured by real estate owned by Mr. Mitchell worth approximately $231,000. Mr. Mitchell complains that the receivers have delayed auditing the books.

Smith appeared at the Mosely home about midnight looking for his wife, Mrs. Smith. She had been away from home all Sunday afternoon and evening, and Smith had been told that she had been seen with Mrs. Mosely. Attacks Woman Smith confronted Mrs. Mosely in an angry mood, and charged her with conspiring with his wife and arranging meetings for her with other men. He also declared that some of the meetings took place in Mrs. Mosely's home. When he asked Mrs. Mosely where his wife was, Mrs. Mosely professed ignorance. Smith then insisted on searching the house, bringing the searchers inside there. When Mrs. Mosely opposed the search, he became furious and drew a pistol. Mosely Rescues Wife A struggle between Smith and Mrs. Mosely caused. In the course of the struggle, Smith's pistol was discharged, the bullet striking the woman in the left arm. At the sound of the firing, Mosely rushed into the room and wrested the pistol from Smith, who seemed to be under the influence of whiskey. Smith continued to struggle, and Mosely took deadly aim, and pulled the trigger. Smith fell dead, shot through the head. Miss Dollie Rhodes, a roomer, notified the Stanton Ave. policemen. Officers Dillon, Dennis, and McDermott rushed to the scene and placed Mosely under arrest. Smith's dead body was removed to the undertaking firm of Kersey, McGowan and Morsell. A coroner's jury Monday exonerated Mosely, declaring that he slew Smith in self defense. FEAR KU KLUX MAY SEIZE GOVERNMENT Service.)—Declaring that the Negro race in America is faced with the gravest danger in the campaign of the Ku Klux Klan for political power and the capture of State and Federal Governmental machinery, the African Blood Brotherhood, from its national headquarters at 2299 Seventh Avenue, New York City, sent out a call for a united Negro front against the insidious menace of Ku Kluxism. The statement warns that what has happened in Italy, where the Fascist has conquered power, may easily occur in the United States unless effective steps are taken in time to stop the rapid spread of Ku Kluxism. FEDERAL CASE AGAINST GARVEY UP IN JAN. NEW YORK, Dec. 16—(Crusader Service).—It can be authoritatively stated that the case of the United States Post Office against Marcus Garvey, George Tobias, Ethe Garcia and Mortimer Thompson, officers of the defunct "Black Star Line," has not been dropped by the Government, but will be brought to trial as soon as the present congestion of the Federal Court with prohibition cases is reduced. Witnesses are being examined and will soon be assembled as it is confidently expected to bring the matter into court some time next month. REPUBLICANS PLAYED FALSE SAYS JOHNSON (Continued From Page 1.) men holding the fate of the Bill in their hands, urging them not to surrender on the terms laid down by the Democratic filibusters. Those terms were that the Bill be not only dropped in the Special Session but dropped as well for the entire term of the Sixty-seventh Congress. Lodge Turns Turtle Immediately after publication in the newspapers of the outcome of the caucus, the secretary telegraphed to these three Senators inquiring if he had not received their promise that the Bill would not be abandoned on Senator Underwood's terms, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, who was elected by the colored voters of his State on the sole issue of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, denied by letter ever having made such a promise to the secretary. It was Senator Lodge who announced in the Senate, on the morning of December 4th, the Republican party's abject surrender. Fault Is Republicans' "The colored people will not be deceived by appearances. They can see and make the kind of actual light was made by the Southern Democrats against the Bill rather than by the Republicans in its behalf. The Southern Democrats roared like a lion and the Republicans lay down like a scared 'possum. The efforts of Senator Shortridge were sincere and earnest, but outside of the support he received from Senator Willis, Senator New and Senator Edge, not a Republican Senator opened his mout: in actual support. A few Senators, including Senators Pepper and Reed of Pennsylvania, McNary, Capper and Gooding, expressed their willingness to keep up the fight until the 4th of March if necessary, but the mass of Republican Senators displaced no particular interest in the 'lill. It is this actually the colonel even more specially the failure of the Bill to be passed. If the Republican senatorial leaders think the Negro will be satisfied merely because they allowed the Southern Democrats to 'put themselves on record', they are mistaken. The Republicans should also have put themselves on record. This they failed to do." LOFTIS BR Diamonds BUY YOUR CHRIST ON CREDIT—AT LOWE Come in and get acc friends.

WITH FUNDS ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 16.—(Crusader Service.) in "Col." William J. Simmons, founder of the Klu Kux Klan, in a speech before the recent Imperial Klonovocation of the oathbound disguised anti-Negro, anti-Jew, anti-Catholic, anti-forigner and antiradical order, made the amazing declaration that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had been given $20,000,000 by the Bolshevik for the purpose of securing political and social equality for the Negroes of the United States, in line with the resolutions to that effect passed by the Fourth Congress of the Third International in one of its recent sessions in Moscow, at which Negro delegates from the United States reported on the condition of the race in this country. The speech of "Col." Simmons, former Wizard, but now Emperor of the Invisible Empire, as reported in the Atlanta Searchlight for December 2, 1922, is an ill-informed, intemperate distribe against Turks, Catholics, Reds, Japanese, Radicals and Negroes. The part regarding Dr. Du Bois' organization reads as follows: "In the South there are 11,000,000 Negroes enniranchised in 1866, while still speaking the jargon of the jungle, and were given lordship over anglo-saxon civilization in the Southern States. The vast population, but one generation removed from savagery, has been the constant prey of scheming, designing, selfish, polluted politicians. Organizations have been formulated and financed by unscrupulous men to further their particular fortunes, political and otherwise through offers of negro or bengal citizenship, or loyalty, or more. More recently the Bolshevik, organized in Russia, have preclaimed their purpose to bolstise America, beginning with the Negro race, and for the preliminary purpose of organization it is alleged, $20,000,000 were appropriated and placed under the direction of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People."

The usual custom in such cases is to discharge the prisoners with a reprimand, but Magistrate McQuade injected the race question into a moral question and told the prisoners there were sufficient white cabarets for white folk to visit without going to places maintained by Negroes. He remanded them all and they were led downstairs to wait the appearance of friends with the necessary bail bonds. The prisoners consisted of twenty-nine women between the ages of 18 and 22 and fifty-tour men. Inspector Sweeney, who conducted the raid, told the Magistrate the raid was the result of numerous complaints from parents that their daughters were visiting the cabaret, and that when the places were raided, some of the prisoners were were sitting on improper dances, others were sitting on mans laps and loud and improper language was being used.

Reports of "casket snatching" in this cemetery have been current for week. Friday night officers lay in wait and watched the "snatchers" at work. The officers declared Jones and another man. Ed Ware, dug up two bodies, reburied them minns the coffins, and then drove away with the caskets. Jones told police he and Ware had made a small fortune. He said Ware was the leader, and always told him what grave to open. Ware also is in jail, but refuses to talk. Following publication of the story cemetery officials were flooded with requests from relatives of persons buried in the cemetery seeking disinterment permits to see if the caskets had been stolen. "It all appeared so easy," Jones said, "and them dead men didn't know no better nohow, and besides, the money came in mighty hand." Arctic Sweethearts The famous Individual Ice Cream Sundaes.

For that reason I invite your attention to Section 710 of the penal law, which provides as follows: "An assemblage in public houses or other places of three or more per- MAN CORNERS YOUNG GIRL, ATTACKS HER MAN CORNERS YOUNG GIRL, ATTACKS HER Julia Moore, a 12-year-old schoolgirl was attacked in the basement of her home, 3976 Langley Ave., Wednesday night by Rann Vernon, 38, who lived in the same building.

"Our Leader Have Failed"—Kelly Miller WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 16. In a speech delivered at Pittsburgh last week, Prof. Kelly Miller declared our present leadership a failure. "Negro leadership," he averred, "is a failure because there is no concession to enduring principles." Indeed, the speaker continued, "the race would be better off if there were a few funerals among race leaders." sons disguised by having their faces painted, discolored or concealed is unlawful, and every individual so disguised, present thereat, is guilty of a misdemeanor." CHARGE PERRY HOWARD WITH BILL'S DEATH (Continued From Page 1.) were circulated among prominent Republican senators. Willing to "Save Day" Mr. Howard's reference to his willingness to "save the day" in the Dower neighborhood will interest those colored readers who recall that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was instrumental in defeating Dr. Caleb R. Layton, Delaware's Republican representative on the sole ground that he misrepresented his constituents by voting against the Dyer anti-lynching bill in the House of Representatives. The defeat of Dr. Layton largely through the enthastic and able work of Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, was regarded among colored people as well as among white politicians as a sign of the most convincing demonstrations of solidarity and power ever excined by colored voters in America. Delaware become an object lesson to the Republican party showing the strong feeling among colored voters about the Dyer bill. It is presumably against this proud achievement of colored voters accomplished on the sole issue of the Dyer anti-lynching bill that Mr. Perry Howard could have "saved the day." Friend of Pat Harrison Mr. Howard was appointed to an office in the Department of Justice by President Harding. Mr. Howard is also a close personal friend of Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi. It was Senator Harrison, who helped to defeat the Liberian Loan Bill by stating that he had "information" that certain colored men were to benefit heavily financially by the passage of this legislation. In the same tenor as Mr. Perry W. Howard's letter was a paragraph widely circulated among the colored press asserting that lobbying by the N. A. A. C. P. would binder enmotion of the Dyer anti-lynching bill because Republican leaders regarded the association as a "Democratic ally with Socialistic tendencies."

The fire which has already resulted in the death of two persons, William Grace and Harrison Rapier, 27, several injured and damaged to the property amounting to more than $5,000, originated in one of the bathrooms on the second floor rapidly making headway upward, cutting off the already too little means for getting in and out of the building which has no fire escape. Members rooms in the building were asleep on the second and third floors and though quickly awakened and apprized of the fire and the danger in which they were suddenly placed in frightful predicament, found little time and practically no avenue of escape. STILL SEES HOPE FOR DYER DILL BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 16.—The National Equal Rights League has concluded a serious weep following the double-dead killing of the Dyer Bill by Republican surrender, by announcing a mass meeting for Monday night to hear the report of the league's representative at the U. S. Senate last week, Attorney Cyril T Butler, of Boston, on the Dyer Bill defeat and what to do now. The league worked till the last moment, then telegramed to President Harding to recommend the measure in his new message, and sent a protest to Senator Lodge and a demand that he lead in a move to revise the Senate rules so as to make blocking of consideration of legislation less easy. The White House answered as follows: Dear Mr. Trotter: I have before me your message on December first, to the President. As you know, the President has made every effort possible in behalf of this measure. Its present status is not a promising one, but it is still hope that something may be accomplished along this line in the near future. Survey your Geo, B. Christian, Jr., Secretary to the President.

J. Buck, who operates a barber shop on S. North Carolina Avenue and another in the Guarantee Trust Building, was brought back to this city and held without bail as a witness.

HARRIS "CLANSMAN" CHEERED BY N. Y. AUDIENCE NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—Crusader Service).—Revival of "The Clansman" in this city was received with yells, cheers, stamping and whistling at the Selwyn Theatre. The audience seemed to be composed largely of modern Klansmen to judge by the cheers every time a Klansman appeared on the screen. A few bold enough to hiss the picture were answered by such critics as: "Why throw the dirty snakes out—kick 'em out." The demonstration has caused deep concern among thoughtful Negroes here, indicating as it does that the Klan boasts of an immense membership in New York, was not all empty talk. It is said that the revival of the picture was at the instance of Ku Klux Klan organizers in this city. Deep interest is also felt in the promise of the Klan officials to answer Mayor Hylan's challenge by sending a number of leading Klansmen to New York to make public addresses. So far as known only three of the national lecturers of the Klan have been working recently in New York City, but these confined their speeches to secret meetings or to semi-secure meetings, admission to which could be had by invitation only. That several of these meetings have been held at the home of Edward A. Wuppermann, banker of 57 West 75th Street, became known yesterday when Wuppermann issued a statement explaining how these meetings came to be hell at his home, and espousing the cause of Klansman. At these meetings several judges and many lawyers were present. CLEMENCEAU GETS EXPRESSION OF APPRECIATION WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 16.—There was presented to M.

We cannot deliver the mail on or before Christmas if we do not get it in time; and a Christmas letter or package delivered before Christmas loses much of its value.

They may mark such packages "Do not open until Christmas." We do not want a single child or grown-up disappointed.

Crail, when prohibited the burt of Hattie de Jarnette Hamilton in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, near Gladstone. The woman died November 22. Her relatives placed her body in a private vault preparatory to burrowing her in a plot at Forest Lawn on November 25. The day before, officials of the cemetery discovered that the death certificate showed she was not of the Caucasian race. Rules and regulations of Forest Lawn Memorial Park prohibit the burial of any person not of the Caucasian and immediate action was taken to halt the plans for the woman's Fraud Charged A complaint filed in Superior Court cited that a lot in Forest Lawn had been purchased on terms by C. S. de Jarnette. The complaint alleged that the lot was frandulently obtained because of the fact that the purchaser got it subject to the rules which prohibit burial of persons other than members of the Caucasian race, and further charged that the de Jarnettes, at the time of the purchase, stated that they were of French descent, and further charged, Judge Crail issued a temporary restraining order which was served the night preceding the date set for the funeral. No attempt was made to violate the court order. According to Gordon, assistant secretary-treasurer of the association, the Forest Lawn officials propose to make a court test of this case in order to establish legally their rule against burying others than those of the Caucasian race. The complaint also states that officials of the Forest Lawn had offered to refund the amount paid for the lot plus compound interest, but that this was refused. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16—In the Superior Court last week, Mrs. Annie Williams was awarded $100 damages from Boos Brothers Cafeteria, when Judge Walton J. Wood rendered a decision in her favor.

Business Continues to Go Forward Retail merchants here report that business is better now than at this period last year, and that they are making preparations to handle a greatly increased business from now on. Slight advances in food prices were made since the rst of the month, especially for canned milk, sugar and flour, about as the holiday season is nearing, making a great demand for such products.

Pyramid Insurance Holds Worker to Thrift Life and Casualty Policy Means Enforced Saving. Creates an Estate and Protects All Here's what life and casualty insurance does for the ordinary man: It compels him to save on a scale that he himself has named after due deliberation. It joins his savings with others in a co-operative investment that is big enough to secure all advantages. It puts his savings into the hands of those whose business it is to know what he cannot know about investments. It gives his earnings the safeguards provided by laws affecting insurance companies. It leaves him free to give his whole time and thought to further earnings, saving him all vexation and anxiety incident to the care of property. It takes into consideration the uncertainties of a man's earning power and makes provision for such modifications as conditions may require, making sure that the investor gets all that he pays for, no matter how far he may tall short of his original investment. And, best of all, over and beyond its merits as a means of accumulations, it plays the role of a fairy godfather to the dependents who find themselves suddenly cast upon their resources through the unexpected.

Special Investigator Charles Downey of the Juvenile court and Big Four detectives arrested the youths. The adults are charged with purchasing the fuel. The coal was sold by contract method at 25c a bushel, according to authorities. One woman contracted for a ton, and two others used a ton each and were paying by the installment plan, Downey declared. Testimony of the boys may reveal the operations of an organized coal thieving clique, Downey asserted. Attempts to arrest the men who are believed to have inspired the youths, have failed. Coal concerns operating in that district recently reported increased coal shortages and occasionally had large consignments removed to railroad scale houses to be reweighed. Operations of the gang were carried on after school hours, Downey said. The boys range from 10 to 15 The easiest, safest, surest and most satisfactory way to save and at the same time protect is to purchase from the tested and tried "PYRAMID" Life and Casualty Company to suit your circumstances. There is no argument against the taking of life and casualty insurance, It is established that the protection of one's family or those near to him is the one thing most to be desired, and there is no medium of protection that is better than "PYRAMID INSURANCE." Our Government has given close attention to insurance companies, and they are on so sure a foundation that it is in substance a guaranty method of protection for our people.

If It Happened In The Windy City Read It Here BEAUTY CULTURISTS SEEK 300 BASKETS FOR XMAS CHEER Are you big-hearted? If so, what have you done or what are going to do to the end that those less fortunate than you may share with you the manifold blessings with which God has so bountifully blessed you? There are those of you who make it a custom, at this season of the year, to do for the distressed and suffering until it hurts, while others of you are not quite so generous. This is a season of the year when hearts are made glad or sad. There are no necessities for any sad hearts. If each of us would lay aside selfishness, and do "our bit," believing that "it is more blessed to give than to receive," the spirit of Goodliness would be so diffused and disseminated that even the very humble homes and firesides would be made bright and cheerful. During the month of November, 1921, Mine. Elizabeth Knox, the president of the Chicago Beauty Cultureists' League, desiring to put the league before the public and, at the same time, do something to relieve suffering conditions as we always have them at Christmas time, suggested the giving of Christmas cheer benefit. The membership gladly accepted and approved of the idea, and set themselves to the task of putting it over" in a large way. Despite the very inclement weather on the day of the benefit, which was given at the Avenue Theatre, they succeeded in clearing TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY DOLLARS. With this, they were enabled to distribute ONE HUNDRED BASKETS. In addition to these, many articles of clothing were donated. The Christmas cheer benefit led to an annual affair. This year, the leagues come to you with a dance at the National Hall, 43rd and State Street, on Tuesday evening, December 19, which they ask you to support only in proportion as you would have others support an effort made to help you, if you were in a destitute condition. The price of admission is only FIFTY CENTS. Last year they sent out only one hundred baskets. Let's make it three hundred this year. We can do it, with YOUR help, WE WILL DO IT. GET YOUR TICKETS EARLY. They are on sale in a number of business houses. Look for placards stating where they may be purchased. All donations of money,钱, should be sent or carried to Mr. Anthony A. Overton, president of Douglass National Bank, 3201 State Street. Applications for baskets should be made in writing to Mine Elizabeth Knox, 3103 Indian Avenue.

"NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL NOSEY was in a barber shop the other evening waiting to have his bristles amputated. his bristles antipause. A group of men were sitting around intent on setting all of the world problems and definitely deciding the fate of the blacel, man in America. The door* was thrown open and i. walked a man, a young man dressed to the hickels. He took of his hickels in the proved Valentino style. One of the chair-warmers exe*lated "Aha! here is Rubbo Vaselino!" He was truly named, for his head old glisten like the morning sun. Strange to say, the young man smiled with egotistic joy to even come that near to the famous screen star and sat in the chain telling the barber to nix his greasy locks, a la Valentino. The barber, looking at his grease-stiffened locks, murmured "A la Vaselino." ONE has to pay attention to brawn and muscle sometimes. Nosey is in one of 35th Street's emporiums where one can get perfume "prescriptions" and many other things, when a man came in. He was powerfully built, looked as if he was used to "toughling it" and he had a delicate scent on his breath. He grabbed the proprietor by the arm in a vise-like grip, saying, "Get out your hook and you will see that you owe me $20.00. Pay me NOW!" The proprietor was one of these big men, himself, and had a pleasant smile and smooth word which puts you off and then puts you off again. But this time he lost his smile, got out his book and trembling looked therein. "Yes, yes," he crooned. "I do owe you that small amount. Here it is." Any man can get his money if he goes about it in the right way. This may be a tip for others. SOME people think that they can tool all of the people all of the time, but they cannot. Nosey saw a young married man sitting on the floor in the hall in front of the door of his apartment. When Nosey aroused him, he explained that he had lost his key and his wife had not come home yet. Nosey told him that it was about time that she had, because his watch showed that it was 6:30 in the morning. Why could not he have told the truth and told Nosey that his wife refused to let him in because he arrived home after 12. At least that is the excuse that she gave him is the done according to the neighbors. Of course Nosey did not believe the other things that the neighbors said. EVERYONE of those "nice fellows" that move in the best circles and then carouse till the wee small hours of the morning with anyone whom their drunken fancy dictates, will come to grief before the Christmas holidays are over if they do not put the brakes on their steps as well as their automobiles. Nossey saw them the other morning early whizz by with their cars laden with painted beauties and snelling like the mountain stills. At 35th and Grand Boulevard one of the cars barely with the car full of plain clothes stills. If the call had not been so urgent the plain clothes men would have given chase. These "shiakes" shun publicity, but they won't be able to avoid it if they keep up the present pace. YOU never can tell when or under what circumstances you are going to meet some people whom you know. Nosey met a lady at a "swell" social function the other night and she tried to look at him over his eyebrows. It irritated as well as amused Nosey, so he called her aside and then to her mind the time when he right to her supposed hotel she was supposed to be there." She on the north side two years ago, where paled under her powder, though fair indeed and then grew to be very friendly. Funny, then? Berean Musical Last Sunday, Dec. 10, Berenan Choir rendered their regular monthly musical. Hon. Willis E. Mollison noted attorney and orator, was the speaker of the evening. His theme was "My Ancient Teacher and His Blue Back Speller." The large and enthusiastic audience which was in attendance was swayed by his eloquence.

State Older Boys' Conference held at Peoria early this month came to light at the echo meeting held at Olivet Church last Sunday, was a letter read by Mr. George W. Johnson of the Wabash Avenue Y. M. C. A., which described the delegation of twenty boys from our group of Sunday schools in Chicago as one of the very "helpful factors" in the success of the conference. This was notable since it showed the outstanding character of our delegation, and the kind of young fellows who attended the conference. This was made possible to a large extent by the talent included in the group. Mr. Harrison Forrell, a quartette from the Young Men's Council and Mr. Gossard, one of the leaders, presented numbers that delighted the conference. Another item echoed was the mephasis which certain conference speakers laid upon the mischief caused by insincerity of protesting Christians especially as evidenced by racial prejudice and antagonism. Dr. Davis of the Chicago Theological Seminary in a stirring address before the conference declared, "Any one who permits himself to hate the Jew, or the Negro, or the Japanese, cuts himself off from citizenship in the Kingdom of God." Mr. Harvey White, a foreign work secretary of the Y. M. C. A., stressed the point that the fruits of race prejudice in this country is one of the most difficult handicaps to the American Christian in foreign fields and is being capitalized by Mohammedans in the propaganda against Christianity. Sunday School Workers Meet A notable meeting was held in the cafeteria of the Y. M. C. A. on Tuesday evening when representatives from nine Sunday schools of the city sat down to dinner and discussed the possibilities and need of a Central Sunday School Teachers' training agency.

M. E.

STAGE AND SCREEN 6 ETHEL WATERS SINGS 'DA-DA' AT THE GRAND At the Grand Monday night Miss Ethel Waters sang "That Da Pa Drain" in such a way that we do not wonder that Clarence Williams' song is going over big. She received hearty applause. Other numbers were: "I Want My Sweet Daddy Now," and "Come Kiss Your Pretty Baby Nice." Aside from Miss Waters, the rest of the show seemed to be a hastily thrown together makeshift. It boosted the name "Hot Stuff," a Musical Review with Comedy. Most of the songs, scenery, and costumes were the same as were seen the preceding two weeks in "Shades of Hades." The cast was the same with few exceptions. The pity of the show seemed to be that it possessed an unusually good looking chorus of eager and lively girls who had nothing to do. They pranced out on the stage and pranced back into the wings, and gave one the impression that if they had songs and dances worthy of the name, they could do them. Comedy was furnished by Joyner and See. They drew many well deserved and hearty laughs. Their confidence game scenes were a bit overworked, and the prefusion of greenbacks, made you wonder if the rate of exchange had gone down. Yet they were funny, and kept an otherwise bleak evening pretty lively. Mention should be made of Miss Sylvia Mitchell, who displayed a voice of unusual sweetness in "Pai O'clock." Others to be mentioned were Vilida Snow and Mary Bradford. The audience waited patiently until nine o'clock for the curtain to rise. HAMMOND'S VENDOME THEATRE 31ST AND STATE ST.

The hitch came when President Foster accepted the resignation, but chose to jingle the funds, by refusing to return the $1000 deposit of good faith belonging to the Hilldale Club, basing the resignation on the evidence he had made to the constitution at a meeting that was not attended by a representative of the Hilldale Club and no copy of said amendment had been exhibited to the officials of the Philadelphia club prior to the tendering of their resignation. The more fact that some of the actual League members were carried the past season without placing their deposit of good faith, proves beyond doubt that a sinister motive is implied by withholding the money of the Hillside Club, when there were termed an Associate Member and did not figure in the League standing, received only two attractions from the West yet compiled with all the requirements of the organization and owe nothing. We are far from satisfied with the manner in which our money has been withheld and unless the Association speedily rescind their ruling, the officials are due for a legal shutdown that will "rattle the houses in the closet" and someone will get much more publicity than they desire. CAN NO LONGER WIN ON FOULS CAN NO LONGER WIN ON FOULS NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 9. — There is a stern warning and much opportunity for American night promoters to learn something of benefit to themselves, in the latest echoes from Paris regarding today's developments in the Siki case. The last news is that the courts will decide whether the frameup charges against Carpenter are well grounded. Deputy Diagne, Senegalese member of the French legislature, says he has positive proof that Siki was to have laid down to Carpenter in the fourth round of the fight that gave Siki the crown. The pitiful part of it is that the game has many stains of like nature on its records. Determination of the New York State Commission to adopt a drastic rule which will disqualify fighters who lose on fouls, is a step in the right direction. The commission hones to put the rule over at Tuesday's meeting. There has been entirely too much fouling recently, and the sooner a fighter realizes that his end of a purse will be hold up if he loses on a foul, it is certain that there will be fewer of them. UNDERTAKER GIVING CAREFUL SERVICE C. Herbert Matthews, undertaker, who was years associated with the undertaking firm of R. W. and J. H. Green, has for the past two years conducted his own establishment at 3229 Cottage Grove Avenue and has given the public that he has served the same courteous treatment and proficient service that the firm with which he was for years associated. He has gone a step further and in his present parlors which combine display rooms, chapel, offices and embbling rooms has offered caskets as how as a gift of chandelier and tableware are free to those who have occasion to come to him at the sad moment of death. He especially requests that all of the old friends who knew him while he was on State Street come to him at his splendidly equipped establishment at 3229 Cottage Grove Ave. THE CHICAGO WHIP COLORED ALL- STARS DEFEAT WHITES, 6-0 By Al Monros Chicagans who braved the weather to see the foot ball game last Saturday between a picked team of white and colored artists, were well paid. They not only saw some of the greatest stars of all time in action but saw some of the best foot ball ever played in these parts. The final score was: Colored boys, 6; Whites, 0. Perhaps had Johnnii: Shelburne, former Dartmouth player, made a few more fumbles the score would have been larger, for after each of the few fumbles credited to Johnnii he came back with one of the smashes that is characteristic of himself alone and hit the line in a manner that was truly too much for the opposing front wall. Robeson Also Stars Another outstanding player of the dark side was Paul LeRoy Robeson former All-American end at Rutgers. Robeson was shifted to tackle in this contest and like Slater on the left side played a great game. Time and again it was Robeson and Slater who combined their efforts to make holes for Shelburn to penetrate the opposing line for gains of 6 and 7 yards. Or the defense Robeson and Amnawale the offensive officer was simply wawow derful. On one occasion Paul pullea a pass out of the air from the hands of Pollard and ran forty yards before he was finally tackled. Another pass resulted in the only touch. Williams Gets in Robeson's Path "Ink" Williams, well known in pro circles and routed to be the best end playing professional foot ball, played left end for the team and was as usual a corking player. Although the world of "Ink" did not stand out so conspicuously as did that of Shelburne and Robeson he in there fightings, on one occasion Williams blocked a pass that was being destined to do danger to the Colored boys. But on the occasion of Robeson's run for forty yards Williams in an attempt to give interference to Paul, was a little too speedy and completely blocked the path of the flying athlete. Bluecitt Plays Well Virgil Bluett, well known athlete in local circles, was chosen to aid in completing the line-up of all-stars. Bluett was good, yes, very good. His kicking was especially good, even though he was suffering from a bad knee. Time and again with the ball in hand, he called upon to kick out of danger, and with uncanny ability he responded to the call. Stars on White Team The colored boys won, but it took considerable effort to turn the trick, for most certainly some of the greatest players that ever donned the gridiron togs were in evidence on the white team and they represented their cause in masterful manner, to be sure. A few of the outstanding performers were Knoppe, former Georgia star and full back of high rating. Knoppe was a consistent gainer on the offense and was always on hand when it came to making flying tackles, at critical moments. Then at center was former Notre Dame All-American player, recognized as the best center in professional circles. If the big fellow was ever better, when Walter Camp saw him, we have ours. He might have been done hardly better. Summing the contest all and all we are forced to say the wonderful playing of Shelburne, Robeson's ability to snare passes and the strong defense offered by both walls made the game well worth while. Whites Held for Downs on 2nd Line In the second period of the first half the colored boys showed to the greater advantage, when the white boys after recovering a fumble was awarded the ball on the colored boys two yard line. First down, two yards to go it looked like a cindh in the white boys would fall to touchdown, four desperate attacks instead of gaining the required two yards the offending boys had been thrown for a loss of five yards. GET LOW RATESTO FRAT MEETING WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 9—The Railroads of the country have granted a reduced fare to the members of the Alpha Phi Alpha who are to attend the 15th Annual "Pioneer Convention" of the Fraternity to be held at St. Louis, Missouri, December 27th to 31st, inclusive, 1922. The rate reduction to the Convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha is based upon the Certificate Plan of one and one-half fare for the trip and will apply for members and also for dependent members of their families. It provides that tickets at the regular one-way adult fare to be obtained for the going journey on any date from December 23rd to 29th, inclusive. When ticket is purchased request is made for a certificate which upon being validated at the meeting by Norman L. McGee, National Secretary of the Fraternity, will be accepted with payment of one-half fare for the return ticket. From all indications the coming convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha is going to be the biggest and best the Fraternity has ever held. Last year it had 32 chapters represented at its convention. It now has 44 chapters upon 2,000 fellow membership over 2,500. Many chapters that have had opportunity as yet to send delegates to a convention will be represented at St. Louis. Sportively Speaking By Al. Monroe When Abraham Lincoln said, "You might fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all the time," he spoke a mouth full. Lack of importance linked with time might have separated the remarks of the president from Foster method of Czarism, but we dare say Lincoln could not have wielded the hammer with more accuracy had he known and directed a blow at the policy of the baseball club owner and league prey. At last the other club owners seem to have come to their senses. In mass they arose to arms against the reign of the Czar by Ruben Foley the Czar of Negro base ball. One of the club owners, a white man led the attack, the best of his suggestions was that Ruben sell his interest in the American Giants if he were to continue as head of the league. Of course no one was so foolish as to expect Foster to give up his interest with the Giants. Most certainly there is any such thing as an institution in colored base ball, it is Foster's position as owner of the American Giants and president of the Negro National League. These attacks resulted into the resignation of some of the strongest chions in the league. Whether or not it was beneficial to the league for them to do so will be seen in the results of the proposed eastern league that is being organized in defiance of Foster's organization. However, regardless of the outcome it proves that there is some backbone in the league. It took a white man to start it, but nevertheless it's in the making. The most conspicuous feature and probably the easiest remembered happening at both the football game and the basketball game was the absence of Mr. Volsted. It has been proven long time ago that the absence of Mr. Volsted and the presence of athletes is a blow to the ability of the latter. It was well in evidence at both contest, that this condition existed. Professional foot ball is by no means an established sport in the record book of the colored sport fans. Basket ball is facing its most trying situation in many a day. Of the stars who have come to play a success in Chicago have come to other cities who remain are youngsters with little or no experience, consequently we must be careful, try and do the right thing at all times. If we cannot do this the one thing that we can do is: see that Mr. Volsted puts in his appearance. Take a heed fellows. It is a warning. Soft ped, AL. PITTSBURGH, Pa., Dec. 7—Cum Posey's strong Loenii basketball club had little trouble defeating Black's all stars here last night. The final was 01-12. The passing of the entire team, with Posey, Molten and Sessons scoring at will, was the feature. It was just a matter of how big the score would be, Sessons played his best game this season. Young and Bett's guarding was the best seen in a long time. The first half ended 19 to 1 in Loenii's favor. Molten had another good night at foulsc, caging 0 out of 13. Loenii—61. Blacks—12.

BILL TATE IN XMAS BENEFIT The gigantic programme arranged by the Chicago Herald and Examiner for the purpose of swelling the fund to help the poor kiddies was a real success. Among the other features presented was a four-round boxing maze staged between Big Bill Tate and Andre Anderson. Anderson is a fighter of no mean ability and of course with Tate, who is almost always conscientious whether in exhibition or real blood battle smashing away at him the contest proved very interesting. Wild Blow "Bings" Referee During the latter stages of the fourth round one of the battlers sent a poorly aimed wallop that missed its mark and landed on the bean of the referee. The blow was somewhat weakened when it landed, but it made the referee take notice. Both Tate and Anderson can hit, and when a referee is made the recipient of one of the blows it's almost a death sign. Thanks for the Invite, Sam Sam Hoover of Little Rock, Ark.

It would be quite a financial blow; So we're extending our glad mitt; Through the columns of The Chicago Whip. Tenny Blount, well-known baseball figure and owner of the Detroit Stars, was elected vice-president of the Negro National. Mr. Blunt is indeed a good man for the place. Yes, very good in fact it is too bad that Mr. Blunt had to be given a place with such limited power. With such men as Mr. Blunt at the head of the National League its success is most certainly assured. Mr. Blunt accepted the nomination after Mrs. Taylor, wife of the late C. I. Taylor, had refused the place on the grounds that she believed herself incompetent to the extent that it was a man's job. That's the right way to do it. With you your association with your husband should undoubtedly make you fit for the place. But if you think some one else more worthy. Take a back seat, let the right man have the place. Then suggest that some of the others follow in your footsteps, it would do a great good. 1. If you should see Duke Slater, the great tackle, turned out by Coach Howard Jones at Iowa last season, in street clothes, you would perhaps not be especially impressed with the great man that often tries to believe you had run into a real giant, for Duke is most certainly one of these from the toes up. But this same Duke has other qualifications of more outstanding value, perhaps. Truly it is a point in the big fellow's favor to possess such enormous physical makeup, but there are other things that make the big fellow a terror to the opposing football front lines. It might be news to you to know that Slater is one of the three men who have been awarded the "four stripe" insignia as a token of great accomplishments at Iowa University. The other two men were; Belding, the great end, and Heltz, last season's centre. Now at this point we are forced to look at Iowa conditionally. Both Belding and Heltz have in their vest nocks another trophy. Slater might have been the most colorful of this particular metal is what is known as a "captain's memoir." Again we say but for his color Duke would most certainly have had one. Who knows? It's the same old story. ALABAMA NORMAL WHIPS FLA., 14-0 By H. Council Trenholm. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Dec. 16.—After being walloped by the strong Tuskegee warriors in the opening game of the season by a tunc of 19-0, the Alabama State Normal settled down and played out what was probably the toughest scheduled ever played in the history of the institution without a single defeat. The Alabamaans climaxed this wonderful record with a brilliant triumph over Florida A. & M. last Saturday. Probably a bit of over-confidence on the part of Florida who had tied Tuskegee in a previous contest proved a bombbreaker for the haughty loosers. Great Plungers The Florida A. & M. College boys played good defensive ball and succeeded in a few of their line plays, but were unable to puncture the Alabamans' detinence for any great gains. The ball see-sawed between the two teams in the middle of the field for most of the game. Much interest was attached to the game because of the intense rivalry between these two state institutions of adjacent state and because the team represented the meeting of the charges of two coaches who were classmates and teammates on the formidable Morehouse College eleven for several seasons. Coach Harris of State Normal and Coach Anderson of Florida were graduated from Morehouse in 1921. Lineup Florida. State Normal. Jones . L. E. Gilmer Williams . L. T. Fortson Espy . L. G.

The Evanstonians outplayed the Chicago boys in every department and when the disk cleared away were resting comfortably on the long end of a 16-14 score. Our boys tried every possible means of registering where points really count most, but the old punch was missing and the Evanston team captured the verdict for the first time in many seasons. Bluitt Absent: Missed Capt. Virgil Bluitt, the backbone of the Chicago team was out on account of a stiff knee and if any one tries to tell you that Virgine was not missed, brand him psychopathic material and then come to us for substitution. Time and again with the ball in possession of Chicago players and the opposing players following the ball in real amateurish fashion, the Chicago team failed to take advantage of the situation and instead of sending a man to the spot "where they ain't" they did the wrong thing. The chance was theirs, but they failed to grasp it. With Bluitt in there we are inclined to think this condition would not have existed. Bluitt might not have made as many baskets from the foul line as did Winters, but it is a safe bet that the captain would have broken into some of these openings made possible through the lose playing of the Evanston team. Locals Lead in First Half The first half ended in a bit of good cheer from a local standpoint. At the end of which time the points stood 11-10 in our favor. At the outset of the second period the locals seemed bent on making the lead a bit safer, in the first few seconds of play they added three points with a brilliant goal from field and Winters again made a basket from the gratis line. But this seemed to end the doings of the locals. They were helpless on defense and not so good on the offense. There is no getting away from the fact that Chicago must improve before she can expect to hold her own as in former years. Bring us back our wondering Hubbard, bring him back, "Al."

Smith, Director of Athletics and Coach, Hampton Institute. Is it possible for two wrongs to make a right? Quitting a game because you believe some injustice has been done your team does not justify the act. In looking over the records of schools and colleges in the 1922 Football Guide, I find that the forfeited games of 1921 were among the high schools and colored colleges. In athletics we seem to keep in the high-school class. Nothing is ever gained by forfeiting. We do stand a chance of winning, if the game is played out, but we lose even when we walk off the field. A football fan is due from forty-eight to sixty minutes of football, and he is disappointed when he is forced to accept less by a team leaving the field. Columbia Sets Good Example Every school should insist that its eleven play out the entire game, no matter what the decisions of officials are. It was much better for Columbia University this year in her game with New York City College, that she played the game out rather than walk off the field when an unjust decision was given. The decision of the referee caused Columbia to lose by a narrow margin; nevertheless, Columbia swallowed the bitter pill and would not even accept soothing syrup afterwards. A few days after the game the referee admitted his error and conceded the game to Columbia. Columbia did not accept the change. That was true sportsmanship. The public is with Columbia in her stand. Many of our leading schools at one time or another have forfeited games, but why should we keep up a bad habit, or try to justify ourselves by the dismal past? A person may write a book in an attempt to justify his school for quitting a certain game, but it doesn't do any good. The school must stand the blame. All schools in the Colored Intercollegiate Association at their next meeting should decide to eliminate from the association any school that, in the future, forms a home. Foolish contests against foster children, an antagonistic relations among schools. LYLES PUMORED DEAD LYLES ROMORED DEAD A rumor was afloat in New York last week that Lyles of the "Shuffle Alone" company was dead here.

WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. FIFTY YEARS FROM NOW Fifty years from now, scientists assert, we will be able to communicate with the planets and the stars. Radio is in its infancy and its possibilities are unlimited. Fifty years from now, they claim that we will be able to fly from one end of the earth to other in a few hours. Life will be prolonged at least by seventy-five years by the engrafting of new glands into the human system. Fifty years from now civilization and society will be entirely different and so much modified and changed that the human mind can barely conceive of it now. Methods, manners and present-day governments will be replaced by more practical and socialistic forms. It seems that the black race should prepare itself for the new day. Fifty years in the eternal cycles and eons of time is but a breathless second. The white races and the yellow races are planning for the coming of tomorrow and the black races are exulting in the fantastic and evanescent ioys and pleasures of today. This is not wise. The propaganda created and diffused about perpetuating "white supremacy" is not chaff at all. It is an example of the far-reaching vision of the white man. He is planning for the next generation. He is making it safe for his sons and daughters. The white man loves himself and his children. It is the plan of the white man to keep control of the world forever and whenever science makes a new discovery he forthwith prepares himself to receive it and adapt himself to its use and benefits. The white race was the first race to reap the benefits of radio, radium and the airship and up to the present writing we have not heard of any black people with new glands. They weren't prepared for them. It seems, however, that he is capable of recognizing and using the new things of the world the same as other people he is just a little slow in seizing them in time. Sometime ago it was suggested thru the columns of this paper that the black race was going thru a process of racial evolution and in conjunction with that idea it was promulgated that evolution should be speeded up a bit. Idle dreams and high flown theories are of very little service, but it is hard to tell what is an idle dream and what is a high flown theory. Every one believes that black people can be spurred on a bit, that some of their drowsiness can be shaken off. The world in its heart does not believe for one moment that the black man is innately inferior and the world waits for his awakening. Education has solved the problems of most races. Education means a leading out, a leading out from ignorance, superstition and darkness. The black race needs education, high education and all of it that they can get. With education should come political and economic astuteness, and they always have marked effect upon public opinion. It is public opinion which checkmates and baffles the black man, and upon public opinion should his efforts be concentrated? If the black man continues to educate himself and venture further in his economic and political explorations he will be in position to receive the benefits that will come fifty years from now. Fifty years from now the black man will be right here in America, if there is an America. It is not proposed that he will be here in fear of lynching evils, privations and discriminations. Keep on with the work of education and fifty years from now perhaps the black people will be in position to grasp the new things of life and make them more worth while. "JUMPING ON SOMEBODY" Since the birth of this paper we have heard rumbles and grumbles from many of our readers to the effect that we were always "jumping on somebody." Criticism of individuals and measures is the undisputed right of every newspaper. All criticisms made in this paper are made in the interest of the black race. Unless we are able to help this race we are of no service to our constituency. It is our policy to jump on anybody and anything that is not right. When we find traitors we jump on them, when we find cowards we jump on them, when we find liars, scoundrels and blackguards we jump on them. While Ireland is hanging her traitors and Greece, Turkey and Italy are torturing her ingrates we are merely "jumping on ours." We have never jumped on anybody without good and sufficient reason and if there is any doubt in our readers' minds they have only to investigate themselves. We print the truth and we don't lie. Our readers are always at liberty to "check up" on the accusations made by us. We have never jumped on an innocent man and we hate persecution. Find out why the Liberian Loan failed and who aided the defeat of the Dyer bill and then agree with us in "jumping on somebody."

Of frostbite are the mild, the form there is a local change of the circulation and very exposure is more prolonged than as. Finally, if the exposure congealed and freezing and by a history of exposure caused by bluish shrunken or vultuation, or entire loss of the body the other parts of the body of the individual and the lackness are early symptoms, induced exertion, difficulty of the death. Frostbite may be regarded as an acute affection due to the action of cold. When a portion of the body not properly protected is exposed to intense or extreme cold the tissues become affected, and if the exposure is sufficiently prolonged the parts become frozen. Individuals in whom the circulation is weak particularly the young, the old, and persons with low vitality are especially likely to suffer from intense cold. Likewise those parts in which the circulation is least active and which are least protected by clothing, as the cars, hands, and feet are prone to suffer. Different degrees of frostbite are the mild, the severe, and the more severe. In the mild form there is a local change of the structures involved characterized by slowing of the circulation and venous stasis. If the cold is more intense or the exposure is more prolonged blisters containing, often a light colored fluid forms. Finally, if the exposure is sufficiently prolonged, the entire part becomes congealed and freezing and gangrene result. Frostbite is recognized by a history of exposure to cold and the affected parts appearing cold, pale, or bluish shrunken or wrinkled, and there is loss of sensation and diminution, or entire loss of the power of motion. Frostbite may affect the other parts of the body, the symptoms, however, vary with the condition of the individual and the extent of the lesion. Loss of energy, fatigue and weakness are early symptoms. These may be followed by indisposition to continued exertion, difficulty of speech, delirium, coma and in some extreme cases death. frostbite may be treated a r in a cold room, the chang tion about.

The mild cases of frostbite may be treated as follows, at first friction with snow or cold water in a cold room, the change to a warmer atmosphere being gradually brought about. Friction with turpentine and oil is also useful in the early stage. After the friction the limbs should be raised on pillows and swathed in cotton-wool, which can be held in position by bandages applied loosely so as to avoid any danger of constriction. If blisters form or discoloration of the toes or other parts shows gangrene is probable, then medical advise should be sought, as the damage done is too great to be experimented with by inexperienced hands. LEGAL HINTS By G. C. Adams he bought a house for ten tend ($5,000.00) dollars cash for the balance of the purch other Nellie, his will contai directing that his debts be other's executor to pay off th here no intent is expressed able from the personal prop Question: My father bought a house for ten thousand ($10,000.00) dollars, paying five thousand ($5,000.00) dollars cash and giving a mortgage on the house to the seller for the balance of the purchase price. He devised the said house to my daughter Nellie, his will containing no reference to the mortgage, but merely directing that his debts be paid. Can my daughter Nellie call upon my father's executor to pay off the mortgage? Answer: Yes. Where no intent is expressed in the will, incumbrances on real estate are payable from the personal property of the testator, but the rule is confined to incumbrances created by the testator; and would not extend to a case where the testator purchased land subject to mortgage. Question: While peaceably occupying my home, James Thomas, my next door neighbor, entered and forcibly ejected me and my family therefrom. I obtained the help of some neighboring friends and went into my home and forcibly ejected James Thomas and in doing so, seriously injured him, though I used no more force than that was actually necessary for the purpose of ejecting him. James Thomas demands of me damages for his injuries and threatens to bring suit if I refuse to pay him for said damages. Is it likely that he will recover under such circumstances? Answer: Yes. You may not forcibly redress your private wrongs: you could have used force necessary to defend your lawful possession, but being dispossessed from it, you had no right to recover possession of your house by force. Question: My infant son, viz: eight years of age, has been called as a witness in a very important case. I have taught him, in my own way, the tenets of the Christian religion and if he should be placed upon the witness stand, may be sworn and testify? Answer: The court will, on questioning him, determine his competency to testify. If he seems to understand the nature of an oath and appears to be intelligent, he may testify, though the weight of his evidence will be a question to be determined by the jury. UNDER THE LASH OF THE WHIP A column of constructive criticism of men and measures in the hope of correcting errors and evils. Last week it was intimated that a member of the black race stool pigeoned to Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, and a scheme to make some money out of the Liberian Loan was revealed. Now since the Dyer bill has suffered death for all beneficial purposes along with its ghost arises the usual stench and rattling bones. The National Association for the Advancement claims that PERRY HOWARD used his influence to defeat the bill and releases a letter sent to Senator DuPont by him. The Liberian Loan has failed and so has the anti-lynching bill. Black men played traitors. Too bad. We need a new leadership. On last Sunday thousands of black people turned out at Comiskey park in Chicago to see a game of professional foot ball between two leading white teams. One of these teams, the Bears, had refused to play against a team which carried a black performer. If the black people had known that the Bears felt that way the chances are they would not have spent nearly fifteen hundred dollars to see them play. The best way to treat organizations who discriminate against us is to withdraw our support. Next year the Bears will not be supported by fair-minded black people. As the Christmas season draws near many and varied societies and institutions are going to give Christmas dinners for the poor. Some of these organizations are honest and worthy, but on the other hand philanthropy and charity will be hounded and besieged by questionable parties who will collect money and convert most of it to their own nefarious uses. Charity is becoming puffed up for just reasons and is beginning to fail. Expose any fake dinner schemes that you know of and preserve the faith of the benevolent.

To the Editor of "The Chicago Whip" Dear Sir: For the past few months I particularly read your articles which have so valiantly and undauntedly attacked vice. Don't be discouraged if you find that you have no assistance, but keep at it and if there are no two-fisted preachers to help you. God will raise some person from among your readers who will help you fight it through victoriously. New York is facing the same problems and is trying to light them, but she is fortunate in having the co-operation of a number of ministers—most of them are Baptists. With thousands of Negroes pouring in from the South and West Indies into our large cities and vice constantly gaining headway, what can we expect to see in fifty years from now but a race of which we shall be ashamed. Don't stop your good work, but continue to fight fearlessly and God will raise some one to help you. Good luck to you in your good work and may wide-awake mem'ers of the race who are 100 per cent Neg. help you put deceyn on top and crush out this monst'ry vice. Yours truly, RUTH R. DENNIS.

OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Lacey K. Williams, D. D., Pastor The National Baptist Convention of the U. S. A. met at St. Louis, Mo. December 6, 1912. It was said to be one of the most enthusiastic meet- ings that has been held during the history of the organization. Dr. L. K. Williams was elected president of this convention to fill the vacancy made by the death of Dr. E. C. Morris, who held the office for more than forty years. Judging from his read- patient elect, much good will come out of this choice selection, and much constructive work will be accomplished. He will not only prove a valuable set to the National Baptist Convention, but to the entire country. May this great body join the right hand of fellowship, and humble itself to the will of Him who doeth all things well, clothe itself in the garment of righteousness, and go forward to do bigger and greater things than they have ever done before. The time has come for us to lay aside mere friendship in selecting our leaders, and take in consideration the man that is qualified to do the work. One who can give you his thoughts by what he has done. A part of this delegation returned to the city on Sunday morning bringing with it some of the ablest ministers of the denomination. The visiting ministers filled the pulpit morning and night. Each one preached with great earnestness, and fired the gospel message as the spirit gave him utterance. Members and friends came out in large numbers to receive the religious treat that was in store for them. 437 West 35th Street. . . . * * *
