She had been confined there nearly a fortnight during which time an operation for appendicitis had been performed. Her sudden death came as a shock to physicians and friends because it was generally supposed that she would recover at an early date.

There, along with Brick Top and Carolyn Williams, a famous trio was formed. After playing there a while the trio left and played at the Pekin, 27th and State streets. When their engagement was completed there, the girls already acclaimed as leaders in their profession, went west. The going was evident not so long until the wait and it was not long until the famous trio was a thing of the past. While there Miss Mills united in marriage with Mr. U. S. Thompson, a well known dancing star. Goes to New York The next big hop was to New York. Paul Salvin upon seeing the rare ability of Miss Mills, placed her on the bill at the Plantation Cafe.

VERNON, IND., Nov. 2-Set upon by a gang of Caucasian raiders and used as a human torch, Henry Dinnett, 12 years old, narrowly escaped burning to death Sunday night. According to witnesses, the boys, who were carrying on a series of Hallowe'en pranks, seized Dinnett, poured gasoline on him and then threw a match at him. The boy's attire immediately burst into flames and his screams attracted some older people from a nearby church. With their aid, the flames were extinguished before great damage was done. Dinnett escaped with minor burns but his clothing was almost burned from his body. One of his assailants, Ralph Storey, was arrested and charged with assault and battery.

James McManus of the Stanton avenue police station. Many complaints had been sent into the station about the man who was believed to have terrorized women on Lake Park avenue since last June. Not long after the two sleuths arrived in that vicinity, they apprehended Green walking along nonchalantly, questioned him and locked him up. Victims were called in to the district station and five of them identified the man as the one who held them up and robbed them. All were women. Saturday, when he appeared before the magistrate at the 27th street court, he was held to the grand jury under bonds of $125,000 His Victims Green, according to the evidence, has been operating since June 2, this year. His record however, shows that he was in the House of Correction six times last year and the year before, each time for larceny. Anthonia Sliders, 3552 Ellis avenue, pointed him out as the man who matched his pocketbook containing 2 June 12 between 35th and 36th streets, on Lake Park avenue. On August 13, between 37th and 38th streets on Vernon avenue, Mrse. Thurmon Wheeler, 3758 Rhodes avenue, said Green relieved her of a $50 beaded bag containing a compact and $1.50. The next woman to positively identify the bandit was Effel M Melville, 12243 State street. She declared he not only robbed her, but criminally assaulted her in her home. She was unable to attend the preliminary hearing however. The others were: Clara Jane Bennett, 4041 Ellis avenue, robbed in front of 4545 Ellis avenue, of $5 on Oct. 7; Louise Rich, 3974 Lake Park avenue, robbed of $4 in currency, cliamond ring and a $10 pocketbook while she was walking along Lake Park avenue in the robber's favorite ambush.

WAR LOOMS UP IN THE METHODIST CHURCHES HERE Dr.F.L.Birt,Presiding Elder Of This District Strikes Pastor With Fist By HENRY HULL All is not well with the Methodists in Chicago and the surrounding districts, battle cries are being sounded, soldiers are being drafted, while mumblings and grumbling characteristic of dissatisfaction and unrest before the conflict are heard on all sides. Methodist ministers and their followers in Chicago are wrought up because of the method and tactics that are being usel by Bishop Gaines, head of the local idoese and already some of them have flatly stated that they will not submit to his ruthless leadership. Eight At Preachers' Meet Fight At Preachers meet When the A. M. E. ministers met Monday before last what is known as the Methodist Ministers' illiterate personal bitterness and slinging ran so high that Dr. Birt, presiding elder, struck Rev. Buchanan Lewis with his fist and only the prompt action of cool head prevented a tree-for-all fight. Dr. S. Maloney, while voicing his protest against the conduct of Bishop Gaines, declared that he intended to be heard and when the Rev. Mr. Lewis sanctioned his desire it is said that he wnstruck by the presiding elder. It seems that the ministers are incensed because Bishop Gaines has transferred men who have labored faithfully and longin the churches of Chicago and who have built up splendid churches.

A. Williams and also a foot specialist, was killed by Charles C. Coleman, Jr., in her apartment at 4838 Prairie avenue, Sunday night. He killed himself immediately afterwards.

Attracted by a large crowd in front of a barber shop at 3126 State street Sunday night, Officers Deon and Rapier of the Second District, went down to investigate. They discovered a man and a woman, allegedly both stark naked, fighting in plain view of the street. The officers entered and begged the battlers to desist. The man was more or less docile, but the woman refused to be ruled. She addressed the officers in uncomplimentary terms, spat on them, fought them and otherwise showed that she didn't give a rap who they were. She was finally subdued and both she and the man were taken to the police station and locked up. There they gave the names of Henry Brown and his wife names as Mr. and Mrs. Henry Brown. Both were hailed before Judge Borrelli at the Pekin court Monday morning. Brown testified that his wife had been nervous and "fractious" ever since she got hurt in a street car accident. He admitted they had quarrelled Sunday night and she had become fully divested of her clothing in the struggle, but instated that he was fully clothed when arrested. Officer Rapier told the story of the occurrence and added that when the woman saw the crowd watching the fight, she turned on them and hurled a cuspid through the glass door at them. Judge Borrelli warned the couple to stop fighting and fined them $1 each.

She was taken to Wilson hospital. MAD LOVER KILLS FOOT SPECIALIST Shoots Her Twice In Breast, Turns Gun On Himself After Brief Quarrel The death-heralding bark of a long, black, sinister revolver startled the southside again Sunday night and when the smoke had lifted and the sound had died away, Dr. Velma L. Colbert, 4838 Prairie avenue, apartment 1, secre- tary Dr. E. Williams and also a foot specialist with an office in her own home, 1 a y stretched on the floor of her office dead. And Charles C. G. Coleman, Jr. G. Coleman, Jr., her (1) slayer, lay huddled up a few feet away in the dining room—dead by his own hand. The shooting occurred about 11:20 p. m. There were no eye-witnesses, and exactly what transpired between the two lovers in that last scene will probably never be known. Woman Heard Shots The nearest approach to an eye witness to the tragedy was Mrs. Flossie Mitchell, who roamed in the rear of the apartment. She was preparing to retire at the time and the first intimation she had of trouble was the crack of the revolver. She said she was so excited that she did not know how many shots were fired, but said there were two volleys, the second volley following an instant after the first. On account of the lack of witnesses, there was some confusion as to who had done the shooting. The police report stated that Dr. Colbert had shot Coleman and then had turned the gun on herself. Officer Phillip Carroll, of the (Turn to Page 7, Col. 3) RACES CLASH IN PHILLY; 9 HURT PHILADELPHIA, PA., Nov. 2- Four colored men and five Caucasians were injured in a race clash which occurred at 7 o'clock Sunday night in the vicinity of Waterloo street near Cumberland avenue. One of the Caucasians is not expected to live. The trouble is said to have started when an unidentified Caucasian, under the influence of liquor, attempted to take possession of a colored citizen's front porch. Objecting to the vile language the stranger was using, the resident put the drunk off his premises. Witnessing the ejection, a gang of toughs set upon the resident. Other neighbors came to the assistance of the lone man and a general fight followed. Knives, brass knuckles and clubs were used freely in the fray. The disturbance lasted nearly an hour and was quelled only by the arrival of police reserves in response to a riot call. Twelve of the rioters were arrested, ten of them being colored.

For some reason there was an abrupt change and the next time the coming star was heard from she was under the management of Lew Leslie, a Jew very much disliked along Broadway. He tied her up with a contract and because of this she was deprived of much of the publicity due her. She finally broke the contract and went back to the night clubs. In Shuffle Along A few years later when Sissle and Blake came out with what is considered now the only original colored musical comedy—Shuffle Along, Miss Mills appeared as leading lady. She dazzled old Broadway for nearly two years, but did not leave Gotham when the show started on the road. More cabaret work was encountered until the new, show "Dixie to Broadway" was built around her. It was a success and made the captivating actress still more popular. "The Blackbirds" A contract was procured in London and away went the show while echoes of Miss Mill's "I'm just a little black bird lookin' for a blue bird" rang in her ardent admirers' cars. Some opposition was encountered in England because English actors became jealous of the shows success. Despite this move to bar her, Miss Mills and her show scored heavily for more than three years. Many of the nobility attended the show regularly. The Prince of Wales is said to have been seen in the audience eleven times as were other London social leaders whose patronage the show attracted. Miss Mills is survived by her husband U. S. Thompson, her mother and two sisters. Critics throughout the country and in Europe proclaim that she was the possessor of one of the most extraordinary entertaining personalities in their experience. JURY CONVICTS DR. E. B. TILLERY KANSAS CITY, KANS. Nov. 2- Friday afternoon at jury in Judge F.D. Hutchins' second degree murder against Dr. Edward B. Tillery in connection with the shooting to death of Samuel Cook, March 25, 1926. The verdict was the same as the one returned against Mrs. Almeda Cook at her trial as an accomplice immediately after the commission of the crime. She is now serving a twenty-five year sentence in the state industrial farm at Lansing. Mrs. Cook, widow of the slain man, was the state's star witness against Dr. Tillery, her admitted sweetheart. Dr. Tillery was released Tuesday on an $18,000 bond signed by nine citizens. Some question as to the legality of the bond was raised as the law requires that one signer must reside in the county where the crime was committed. A hearing on the motion for a new trial will be heard next Saturday. Considerable indignation was expressed by people who attended the trial because of the use by Senator James F. Getty, Tillery's lawyer, of the term "darky" in reference to colored persons. They say it will have some bearing on the outcome of the next political race he hopes to win. WOMAN SHOT Agnes Bell, 4386 Langley avenue, a laudress, was taken to Wilson hospital Thursday afternoon suffering from a gunshot wound clear through her left forearm. She was shot by Clint Bethel, 4956 Champlain avenue, during an argument which occurred at her home. Her condition is not serious. MME. S.D.

Dones, one of the most widely known realists in California, is now enrolled as a prisoner in the stockade at Lincoln Heights where he will serve ninety days for having been found guilty of usury. Sentence was passed on him recently by a municipal court judge after an appeal to a higher court was refused.

POLICE CHARGED WITH BLACKMAIL PHILADELPHIA, PA., Nov. 2-A vicious system of graffit apparently carried on by policemen of this city for a long time, has been uncovered by the recent killing in cold blood of two men by the police. The two men, Edward Pollard, 1011 South 13th street and George Brown, whose address is not known, were killed for failure to pay off the policemen for permission to write policy on the police beats. Pollard was shot by policeman Ashbert. The officer is said to have caught him writing numbers among the longshoremen along the river front. Pollard had refused to pay the graft and was ordered to leave the neighborhood. When he refused, the policeman attacked him, beat him and finally shot him to death. He defended the slaying by saying that Pollard was resisting arrest. Brown was slain by Officer McGee at 32nd and Woodland avenue. McGee and another officer named Samuels, both off duty and in plain clothes, are said to have fired several shots into Brown's body when he refused to pay for protection in his policy writing business. Brown was killed instantly. The officers again made the plea that their victim was resisting arrest. Attorney Raymond Pace Alexander has been retained by the families and friends of the slain man to sift the evidence and get to the bottom of them. BALTIMORE COPS NAB CLEVER THIEF BALTHOORE, MD.

Col. Robert McCormick, editor-in-chief of the Chicago Tribune, declared that a newspaper that was not conducted for profit was not a unit in itself but a part of something else. The various organs great and small, published in the interest of some business or businesses and supported by gifts from those whom it is intended to benefit are, according to this statement, not really newspapers at all, but house organs, only a step above advertising circulators. Col. McCormick's topic question was: "What is a Newspaper?" In answering this question he said: "The newspaper is an institution developed by modern civilization to present the news of the day, to foster commerce and industry through widely circulated advertisements and to furnish that checkup on government which no constitution ever has been able to provide." Purpose Must Be Profit The speaker insisted that a newspaper, in order to deserve the name, must be self-supporting and must be conducted for profit. "In this assembly," he said, "I expect to find considerable surprise in that part of my definition which requires that a publication be conducted for profit be termed a newspaper. The signal fact remains that unless a newspaper is conducted for profit it is not a unit in itself but part of something else." "A newspaper cannot be independent unless it earns its living." The value of and reasons for special features outside of bare news in papers was indicated by Col. McCormick when he declared: "News is the basis of the modern COOK IS BEQUEATHED LAND, MONEY, POULTRY BY WEALTHY EMPLOYER PALATKA, OKLA.

It must amuse and serve." Advertisers Don't Control Col. McCormick scouted the charge frequently heard that newspapers are controlled by their advertisers. He awarded the charge as clausure and declared that successful newspapers had such a large volume and variety of advertising clients that no one of them amounted to enough to control the paper to the exclusion of the others. "Assuming a willingness on the part of the advertiser to spend his money for political support rather than sale effect, and assuming cupidity on the part of the newspaper proprietor, how many advertisers with identical interests or the same political opinion would it take to justify a proprietor in ignoring the rest of his advertising clients, to say nothing of his readers, upon which he, as well as his advertisers, depend for a living? Can't Injure News "As for the charge that news is distorted for ulterior purposes, it would be as ridiculous for a milk company with a big investment, to put poison in its milk. News is our staple in trade and we ourselves would be the ones injured should we distort it. "Parties view with alarm all that the opposition does and point with pride toward or cover up all of their own performances. Bloes ally themselves to any parties, groups or individuals who support their particular hobby, with a calousness to common honesty that shocks hardened ward politicians. "Fortunately, corruption is important news. A paper that fails to print such news because of political affiliations or other reasons, is seriously handicapping itself in its struggle for existence." ```markdown ``` Have You Enough CONVENIENCE OUTLETS ```markdown ``` COP SLAYS ANGRY MAN WHO SHOT 2 IN JEALOUS ROW Patrolman Wounded In Desperate Gun Fight With Crazed Men BALTIMORE, MD, Nov. 2—During a jealous quarrel Sunday afternoon at 3117 Mulberry street, where he saw Miss Geneva Stewart in company with another man, Louis Pettigrew, 32, of Washington.

J. J. Diggs, Charles Adrain and Robert Ar- baugh, all Caucasians, were taken in ‘custody by dry agents Tuesday. They were extracting alcohol from banana oil lat the time.

Quinn, ‘prohibition’ head, “to separate the grain aleohol from the larger por- tion of wood alcohol contained in the substance. ‘This makes the liquid very poisonous if used as a beverage. The product is used for mixing varnishes and is a solvent for bronze paints.” For more than three weeks deaths from poison lig:or have occurred with appalling frequency. Authorities have been at a loss to determine the souree of the deadly concoction which is being dispensed by a large number of boot, leggers and speakeasies in various sec- tions of the city Tuesday's raid may lead to startling discoveries and the large number of deaths may be laid to these men. ‘ MAN WINS DRINK BET; DIES BALTIMORE, MD., Nov. 2—An in- vestigation following the death of John Jones, whose home is located in Wel- come Valley, showed that the cause of his death was acute alcoholism. Ac- cording to the story told the police by friends of the dead man, a bet was made as to the amount of liquor each could drink.

AFTER CHANGES Students Voice Objections To Recent Dismissal Of President Young JEFFERSON CITY. MO., Nov. 2.—A very tense situation is reported at Lincoln University here following the dismissal of President Young and the making of certain other changes in the staff of the institution. Strike talk is rumored and the atmosphere is charged with unrest. The opposition to the ousting of President N. B. Young is almost unanimous but this is not the entire cause of the dissatisfaction. Faculty and students alike agree that the morale of the university is shot to pieces. There is marked and apparent resentment to the dietion of the political gang which is alleged to be using the institution for everything but educational purposes. Governor Hit The leaders of the ring against which the students are so bitter are Governor E-m Baker, C. G. Williams, and S. W. James. These, the students declare, are not interested in the education of young people attending the university but are using the school for their own private gain, and are doing an injustice both to the instructors and the students. No interest is being taken in lessons by the student body because they feel there is nothing to be gained. It is alleged that James showed his conception of educational principles by forcing some of the teachers to buy certificates in his saving and loan company or leave the school. There is also great bitterness against Williams and the two other colored curators who did "have guts enough to stand with Mr. Lee a Democrat to keep Dr. Young here." Jason Unfit The general opinion is that the acting president Mr. Jason though an excellent teacher and a fine gentleman is not fitted to be an executive of an institution of higher learning. The whole sentiment is for Dr. Young who refused to be ruled by the gang and lost his job as a result. There is also objection to petty regulations which serve no purpose but to irritate the student body. It has also been pointed out that the board of curators has released I. C. Tull who held the office of registrar and business manager and replaced him with two men, Duke Diggs and Virgil Williams. This replacing of one man with two is cited as an example of the board's idea of economy. One of the first things that Duke Diggs did on taking office was to tack up a notice to the effect that visitors staying at the dormitory must pay a fee of $2 a night. In the past it had been customary to entertain visitors from other schools without charge. According to figures cited by Acting President Jason, there are at present as many students enrolled in the school as there were at this time last year MEN FILE CLAIM FOR $1,000,000 PITTSBERGH, PA., Nov. 2.—A suit against the American Reduction company for damages totaling $100,000 for injuries received in a collision with one of the company trucks last August 25, has been filed by General Edwards, Joseph Seward, H. John H. Jefferson, and Julius A. Wilkerson, all of 2624 Ford avenue and employed as janitors at the Carnegie Library at Schenley park, Pittsburgh. The state of claim filed with the suit declares that as the plaintiff were driving home from their work in an automobile belong to Seward, who was at the wheel, they were struck by the truck at Craig and Bayard streets. The truck, it is alleged, ran through a stop signal and crashed into the automobile overturning it twice and hurling its occupants to the ground with great force. All the men were severely injured and incapacitated from doing their work. JOS. D.

A. A. C. P. Franklin Federer, white politician in Gary, has been active in securing the membership of the black people and it is claimed that in many of his speeches that he told his hearers that they could be ninety-seven and one tenth per cent Americans but never "one hundred per cent Americans" as were the white klansmen. It is reported further that on the night of September 22nd, the three colored aldermen met in the city hall in Gary and agreed to support the proposed Jim Crow school resolution but changed their minds the next day when the council voted on the issue before the public Preachers Get Money Teachers Get Money Rev. McHenry, pastor of a church in the steel city is charged with having been visited by the Klan in full regalia and that he was given four hundred and fifty dollars to pay off his church mortgage. Four other ministers are also charged with affiliation with the klan. Alderman Whitlock of Gary is credited with being clear of the taint of the klan and is given credit of being straight in his dealings but the other representation is not clear. Gary are accused of being tied up with Ralph Bradford, who is said to be one of the leading figures among the members of the fiery cross and whitehood. Because of their seven thousand votes in Gary, the colored people wield the balance of power politically and it is for this reason that the Klan interested itself in affiliating with the "Bow Tie Amalgamation." Mr. Brusseaux states Mayor Floyd Williams of Gary is beginning to understand just what the cool strike is all about and it is to be expected that the whole situation will be adjusted. It is not believed that the National Branch of the N. A. A. C.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA., Nov. 2—Stirredby the recent outrages perpetrated by masked bands which still persist to flout the law and spread terror particularly among the colored farmers in this vicinity, Attorney General Charles C. McCall issued a statement Friday declaring that every man should take drastic means to protect his home McCall, it will be remembered, was forbidden to resist and resigned recently when he said he would no longer be affiliated with an organization whose members considered its power above that of the state. Sanctions Protection McCall's remarks were made following the report of the intimidation of flogging case witnesses to the point of driving them from their homes. His words were to tell the victims to use any manner and degree of force to protect themselves and their homes. The attorney general, in bitter words, reported that many of those homes had been invaded by nocturnal visitors were not only in a pitiful condition of fear, but in many cases were in actual financial need since they had been forced to abandon making a living to flee. Many of those attacked were witnesses before the grand jury which indicted 100 alleged floggers. Others are the cases who will testify. In the cases postponed until January, one of those being that of Arthur Hitt, the colored farmer who was flogged and who had his land almost taken away from him. Conditions Terrible Mr. McCalll said that he would report the matter to Gov Graves at once and would take any steps necessary to protect the witnesses. He issued a fiery warning addressed to the "defendants in the flogging cases and members of the Ku Klux Klan" in which he promised arrest and severe punishment. He deplored failure of the state forces to provide for such an emergencies as witnesses driven from employment through their testimony.

Miss Mamie Todd, were acquitted by a jury which deliberated for three hours Wednesday. It was claimed that Miss Todd had named Miss Morse as the "brains" of the plot to obtain the murder of Mrs. Grace and her in-laws, and their adopted son. Miss Morse had used her as an agent. Miss Todd testified, in negotiations with two county detectives who were supposed by the plotters to be assassins. DR. P. W. CHENEY NOW IN PRISON DR. P. W. CHENEY NOW IN PRISON NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 2—Dr. Perry W Cheney, convicted of assault in the second degree Oct. 13, was given an indeterminate sentence of from one and one-half t o three years in Sing Sing prison Friday by Judge William Allen. Dr. Cheney's arrest grew out of a street fight on December 26, when his car was struck by one driven by Hyman Pincus, a Caucasian, 1416 Wythe Place. Pincus is alleged to have cursed the doctor and a fist fight followed. John Torpey, 41 Bradhurst avenue, joined in. Cheney stated that he was in danger of receiving great bodily injury or possible death. Torpey was able to handle the bar and by the point of death for several weeks. At the preliminary hearing, several defense witnesses stated that they saw Torpey with an iron bar just before he was stabbed. Another point in the trial which seemed to favor Dr. Cheney was the conflicting testimony offered by witnesses for the complainant. The jurist, in passing sentence, declared that he believed Cheney lied relative to his striking blindly at the men. "I have looked in vain for any extenating circumstances. A man of intelligence should have exercised more self-control and found other means of defense, the judge said. WELL KNOWN SPORTSMAN FINED ON COP'S CHARGE NEW YORK, J. 2—William "Bub" Hewlett, former head of the H. and H. Bonding company and a well-known Harlem sportsman, reported to have jumped a $500 bond on a charge of disorderly conduct recently, appeared before Magistrate Goodman in the Helights court Tuesday and was fined Hewlett explained that the reason he had jumped was a charge at first was that there had been a death in his family. The charge against him was preferred by Patrol- mate Waterbury of the 10th precinct. As a family doctor at Monticello, Illinois, the whole human body, not any small part of it, was Dr. Caldwell's practice. More than half his "calls" were on women, children and babies. They are the ones most often sick. But their illnesses were usually of a mild nature—colds, fevers, headaches, biliousness—and all of them required first a thorough evacuation. They were constipated. In the course of Dr. Caldwell's 47 years' practice (he was graduated from Rush Medical College back in 1875), he found a good deal of success in such cases with a prescription of his own containing simple laxative herbs with pepsin. In 1892 he decided to use this formula in the manufacture of a medicine to be known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pensin, and in that year his prescription was first placed on the market. The preparation immediately had as great a success in the drug stores as it previously had in Dr. Caldwell's private practice. Now, the third generation is using it. Mothers are giving it to their children who were given it by their mothers. Every second of the working day someone somewhere is going into a drug store to buy it. Millions of bottles of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin are being used a year. Its great success is based on merit, on repeated buying, on one satisfied user telling another. There are thousands of homes in this country that are never without a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and we have gotten many hundreds of letters from grateful people telling us that it helped them when everything else failed.

"Infant mortality for the entire city was 64.6 per 1,000, while that for Negroes was 94.7 per 1,000. The largest losses of life among Negroes are from highly preventable diseases and comparative rates were: Tuberculosis, white 58.5; black, 348.5; and pneumonia, white 88.8; black, 114.7. Lack Health Agencies "The communities in which Negroes live in largest numbers, are poor in health-serving agencies The department of health will act to remedy this condition. The work of contagious disease control in the public schools shows a wide variation in efficiency. Closer supervision for care is also needed need for more extensive correction of defects for positive health teaching and for an extension of facilities for the care of the school child." MAN WANTS WIFE TO GO HOME: FRIEND CUTS HIM Matthew Sharp, 2809 Wentworth avenue, was taken to the County hospital Sunday night at 11 o'clock, suffering from a cut in his left shoulder received in a fight with Lloyd Henderson at 2728 Wabash avenue.

He was taken to Wilson hospital where ten stitches were taken in his head. CHICKEN THIEF CAUGHT PITTSBURGH, PA, Nov. 2—Advices here reported that a well directed aim by a property owner brought down a Caucasian chicken thief Wednesday morning, when H. G.

Yes, they came early and remained late. The startling time was set for 10:30; promptly on the hour they started arriving. Immaculately attired men and charmingly gowned women, treading upon the scene, knowing for what purpose they came but never suspecting the gavety awaiting their indulgence. The ball room was a thing of art and beauty, easy to see themselves imma- ed themselves in fantastic contortion. In every corner, on every available ledge, perched on every stand and gracing every passageway and hall were scattered itmes in yellow and black significant of the occasion. But there was another sight. The invited guests availing themselves of the opportunity to gather additional thrills were vieing with each other in matters of unique and startling dress. Some clowns, some sheiks, others represented themselves as members of the care of a governess, the art of an artist. The Owls club is one of the youngest social organs of the younger set but bids fair to take its place with the leaders. They certainly gave Chicago something to rave about for months, even years to come. The invited guests were: Miss Mildred Ware, Miss Henrene Ward, Miss Maybell Walker, Miss Hilda Stokes, Mr Harold Washington, Miss Consuela Young, Mr. and Mrs. Orvil Johnson, Mr. Richard Jones, Miss Jabelle Jemkins, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Jefferson, Miss Faith Jefferson, Mr. Dewey Jones Miss尼德 Jones, Miss Anna Jones, Mr. Will Kelly, Mr. David Kellum, Miss Wilda Kennedy, Miss Bille Kyle, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Thus runs the age old adage. But occasionally there is created a picture so alluring in its beauty, so unique in its style, so lofty in its appeal that even youth must stand by and marvel at perfection resulting from the efforts of experience. This we found pleasingly illustrated as we witnessed various aspects of the heart of senior members of Chicago's elite as we dropped in hither and von. We refer particularly to the party given by the Original Forty Club at McEvoys, 45th and Michigan avenue. Here we found gayety as experience sees it and oh, what fun. Two days later (Monday to be exact) we found a like picture predominating at the Appomattox Club, 3632 South Parkway where this body was tending its annual character party. This party was attended by both sets but as we found experience predominating youth must give ground. Here we found more favors, more decorations, more streamers and every imaginable ornament to make the evening as complete as is possible when fun is the essence. There have been few parties as scintillating with thrill, gayety and beauty as we found at the three above mentioned. Th Alma Kappa Alpha fraternity hir its annual closed Halloween party on Friday, a Sunday night in its parlor. 44th and 45th were a very pretty party, with brilliant orations and jazzy tunes that made the evening an ideal one.

If So, Hilda Holly Will Give You Confidential Advice Thru This Column. Dear Miss Holly: If a fellow has never called on a girl and phones her to ask her as his company to a dance, do you think she should refuse him? That is what I did and a girl friend of mine has told me I did wrong, so I would like to know what you think of such a case. Thanking you in advance, I am Law Brown once. It all depends on how well you know the young man in question. If you have known him for some time and he has never seemed inclined to call on you, then I should say you were right in assuming the attitude you did. But if he is a new acquaintance and probably in all sincerity has not had an opportunity to call, then I am afraid you owe him an apology. We must look for many things with an eye as to the nature of what we know, one would consider an act a breach of etiquette or non-conventional, if the motive is pure then the act is accepted. Thinking of Old Sweethearts Thinking of Old Sweethearts. Dear Miss Holly: To-night I have been reminiscing and thinking of my old sweethearts, and there comes to my mind a pretty and dear little girl that I almost snubbed some five or six years ago. She lives in another town and I indirectly hear of her occasionally and know that she has not married yet. I couldn't appreciate her when I had the chance, she seemed to be so slow and uninteresting, but now since I know so much about these "wise and interesting" girls I long to re-awaken the friendship with this other girl. Do you suppose if I write her to this effect that she will write to me, so he would you go to her town so see her how she isn't live so awful far from me and I could go to see her very easy if you think she would pay any attentoin to me. I hope you can find it convenient to answer me very soon for somehow she is greatly on my mind, tinght. G. H.-Kalamazoo. There's no way I have of telling whether the "little girl" will reciprocate the awakening of the friendship or not, but I think the clever thing to do would be to send a short note to the girl and tell her you are expecting to be in her town a certain day and if she was going to be home free of engagements, you would be happy to call on her. You might drop a hint that you had often thought of her and you are hoping for this opportunity of seeing her again. Demands Apology. Demand: Apology Deal: Miss Holly: I have been going with a girl a week now and she is becoming quite a problem, and I understand. She is a nice girl and quite pretty and all that, but unconsciously I am always offending her and she is always demanding that I apologize. Now no other girl has ever acted like that with me and I am wondering whether the fault is with we or this girl, frankly I think it is with the girl. Would you stop apologizing or do you think I am the one in the wrong? I like her very much otherwise but somehow this apologizing business gets on my nerves. It looks to me like this is a clear case of clashing of temperaments. I think you had better confine your attentions to other girls who are not affected by your mannerisms as this young lady is. If you care to continue your friendship with the girl you are now interested in then my advice would be to profit by her verrections and keep from having to make apolozies. Fashion News. It seems there is a fur coat for everybody, regardless of the size of one's pocket book. The calf skin coats are made in such clever styles and are so attractively priced that many are welcoming them into their wardrobes. Caracul, which has been very popular for a number of seasons, is still enjoying a high place in favor; it is a fur ronging greatly in quantity, especially in price, of the near seals that are quite acceptable and are really quite serviceable. There are many others and it pays the shopper to look around a bit before deciding on her purchase. STRANGERS' CLUB INC.

WORTHWHILE AIDS TO HOUSEWIVES By Ann Grayling Useful Household Hints Deep Fat Frying Deep fat frying is to be recommended in place of saueing (which is browning in a small quantity of fat), as then there is less absorption of the fat. Careful regulation of the temperature in heating the fat will minimize both the decomposition and absorption of the fat. Thorough draining on an absorbent paper will dispose of the surplus fat. Cooking in fat is common. Superior cooking is exceptional. Exact fat cooking is possible only when a thermometer is used. Doughnuts Two eggs, three tablespoons fat melted, one and one-half cups sweet or sour milk, six teaspoons baking powder, one and oon-half teaspoon, baking powder with two-thirds teaspoon soda, one and one-half cups sugar, six cups flour, one teaspoon salt, one-half teaspoon vanilla and one teaspoon nutmeg. Mix and sift the dry ingredients. Combine the beaten eggs, milk, vanilla and melted fat. Mix these liquids lightly into the dry ingredients. Shape into a ball and knead in enough extra flour to prevent the The softer the dough is handled, dough from sticking to the board, the nicer the doughnuts will be. Roll out the dough to one-half inch thickness and use a cutter to shape. Drop, or rather slide so as not to splash the fat, into deep fat which registers 365 degrees; or half inch cube of white bread in which is hot enough to brown a one-forty seconds. The daughnuts should rise quickly. Turn as soon as they rise and lay on the side down. Turn back to down the first side. Remove when browned and drain on paper. The whole process should take three and one-half to four minutes. TO SUGAR DOUGHNUTS: Put powdered sugar in a box or paper bag and put four or five of the cooled doughnuts at a time into the bag. Shake until coated with sugar. PRITTERS One cup milk, one and three-fourths cup flour, one tablespoon fat, one egg, one teaspoon and four fourth cup sugar, if a sweet batter is desired. Mix and sift the dry ingredients. Combine the liquids. Mix these lightly into the dry ingredients. Drop by spoonfuls into the deep fat, 350 degrees, or until a small cube of bread browns in fifty seconds. When the fritters are a golden brown, remove with a skimmer and drain on absorbent paper. Sprinkle with powdered sugar is desired. CORN FRITTERS are made by using the smaller quantity of flour and the unsweetened batter, and adding two cups of drained, canned oror, in season, corn cut from the cob. BANANA or APPLE FRITTERS are made by dipping bananas or slices of apple into the sweetened fritter and frying in deep fat. Potato or Saratoga Chips Six potatoes, one-half teaspoon salt, and one-eighth teaspoon pepper. Wash and pare the potatoes. Slice in thin slices into cold water. Drain and plunge into a kettle of boiling water for a minutes. Drain well, blanch in cold water, dry on a wire rack. Drain in a wire basket and fry in deep hot fat. Keep in motion by shaking the basket during the frying process. Drain on paper and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot or cold. The BABY Why do so many, many babies of today escape all the little freetful spells and infantile ailments that used to worry mothers through the day, and keep them up half the night? If you don't know the answer, you haven't discovered pure, harmless Castoria. It is sweet to the taste, and sweet in the little stomach. And its gentle influence seems felt all through the tiny system. Not even a distasteful dose of castor oil does so much good. Fletcher's Castoria is purely vegetable, so you may give it freely, at first sign of colic; or constipation; or diarrhea. Or those many times when you just don't know what is the matter. For real sickness, call the doctor, always. At other times, a few drops of Fletcher's Castoria. The doctor often tells you to do just that; and always says Fletcher's. Other preparations may be just as pure, just as free from dangerous drugs, but why experiment? Besides, the book on care and feeding of babies that comes with Fletcher's Castoria is worth its weight in gold! Children Cry for Fletcher's CASTORIA Club News The Thalia Twelve met at the residence of Mrs. Evelyn肝肝, 4809 Forrestville Ave. Monday, October 24.

HERE from the local charges, to small towns away from the city, and have conferred the local charges’ upon his favorite. Quinn Chapel, one of the oldest churches in Chicago, and long a bul- wark of the A. M. E. Convention, has Tefused to accept’ Dr. H. E. Steward, who was sent there at last annual con- ference by Bishop Gaines. Wayman Chapel, another influential church, has been split because Dr. Maloney was re- moved and relegated to the country, Neither pastors nor congregations are pleased, Five Ministers Die five veteran ministers with long years of service, whose records are untram- meled and unsullied, have fallen asleep during last year in Chicago. Strange it seems, but still true, each of these ministers had recently felt the iron heel of their Bishop. Dr. James M Hender- son formerly president of Morris Brown College and in recent years pastor at pstitutlonal and presiding elder, was ved from his duties and scheduled to a very small charge in Aurora. Cha- grined and broken down by thirty years of active service, Dr. Henderson broke under the strain and six weeks ago breathed his last. His friends say that he died of a broken heart. Dr. N. XK. McCracken, whitehaired and patri- argj.ai divine, was not spared by the fiery littie Bishop, Dr. MoCracken, whi in the evening of his life, was snatch from the district over which he has served lo these many years and cata- pulted to Waukegan. A few weeks ago he laid down his burden and crossed the Great Divide. His friends say that he died of a broken heart. ‘Dr. Higgins and Dr. W. W. Lucas. ministers of the gospel, too, have died within the last year Dr. Lucas was snatched away from his charge in Evanston and was left with only the lice:.se of an evangelist to preach. He could not bear the grief and leaped to his death from a local hospital. Dr. ‘Higgins was shipped to Clinton, Towa, and his friends say that his Bishop's ingratitude broke his noble heart. Pive men, say the people, have died of a broken heart. Christianity Gives Way It seems that politics, revenge-seek- ing and, selfishness have griven Chris- tianity out of the local churches. At the last Annual Conference held in Evanston, during the month of Sep- tember, it is claimed that every con- ceivable scheme, trick and artifice was employed by Bishop Gaines and his allies to carry out their program. Bishop Gaines was so busy with politics that he dispensed with the annual sermon and disregarded the established custom of administering communion to the Evan- gelists ane Deaconesses. He dismissed the conference at twelve with a forty minute reces and then started to voting His actions, violating all precedent: and traditions, deprived many of the delegates from the privilege of voting becatise they had not yet arrived. It is claimed and rumored by mem- bers of their conference that Bishor Gaines had ballots printed with three stars on them and it is said that minis- ters voted that ballot in fear of losing their churches. Delegates to the nex: general conference were elected in this fashion, and each Presiding Elder whe wished ‘to stay in the good graces of his Bishop was required to “carry hi precinct.” Such actions have dismayec ‘an daroused the Methodist minister ‘and their followers in Chicago. ‘Willis King, alias Grisson, 14 E 5ist street, 18 years old, fared il Wednes- day night about, ten o'clock when he attempted to hold up Eugene Trotter, 4850 Champlain avenue, in a hallway at 611 E, 47th street, Instead of sub- mitting, Trotter drew gun and sent a bullet crashing into King’s left shoul- der. He then called the police and had the would be robber placed un- der arrest. King was taken first to Wilson hospi- tal for first aid and then was removed to the Bridewell hospital where he will remain until he revovers from his ‘wound. MAN DENIED MONEY; CUTS Seborn Murray, 3140 Wabash avenue, a laborer, met with a most unreasonable beegar at 5ist and State streets Sunday night. The man asked Murray for some money and when Murray refused. the man drew a knife and slashed him over the left eye and on top of the head. The wounded man was taken to Daily hospital for treatment. ‘Implicit loyalty and trust were shown in the Pekin court Tuesday morning by Mrs. V. Skinner, 3731 Langley avenue, as she made a persistent and tearful plea to Judge Borrelli on behalf of her husband, Robert Skinner, whom she had accused of assaulting her with a knife, ‘The wife complained that her hus- band had set upon her with a knife Sunday night. She got out a warrant for him, but when he was arraigned before Judge Borrelli Tuesday morn- ing, she had apparently forgiven him entirely, ‘Declaring that she was not hurt much she begged the judge to discharge Skin- ner. The judge, however, was not con- vinced He told her first to take off her gloves. Reluctantly she removed them and revealed bandages on her right hand and wrist. ‘The judge then ordered her to remove her coat, She ‘was more reluctant than ever, » ! when the collar of the coat and’ tne neck of her dress were pulled down, several other dressings were revealed on her back. ‘Her injuries discovered in their ful extent, Mrs. Skinner burst into tears ‘and declared that it was all her fault, When the judge insisted that he must send Skinner to jail, the woman be- ‘came almost inconsolable. BURGLAR OLAIN BY POLICE Ao HE REoloTo ARnEST ‘William McDermon, 5137 Federal St., was shot and instantly killed at 1 a. m. Monday by members of a detective bureau squad when he refused to sur- render to them in a store at 24 E. Sist street, where he was in the act of com- mitting a burglary. His pal and look- out, Jessie Leroy Hickman, 727 Barber street, gave up to the police as they rushed upon him on the outside of the place before he had a chance to signal ‘his accomplice. "At the inquest held at Williamson's morgue, 5121 State street, the evidence disclosed that McDermon was about to ‘pounced upon the three officers with a nite when they let go with a fusillade of bullets which abruptly snuffed his life out. Bis Pal Talks Hickman was a sad figure at the hearing. His clothing tom and ap- ‘pearing half starved, he pathetically told his story to the jurors. Every once in a while he was prompted to. speak louder, but it was only by special ef- fort Uiat he could do so. He said he had known McDermon about four months. Neither, he said, had worked in that space of time and food and shelter was only theirs at rare intervals. Sunday night they procured something to drink and as they ap- proached the corner where the store is located, McDermon said he was going to rob the store. Agreed To Lookout we asked me to act as 2 lookout and I did,” sald Hickman, “when one car came by he broke the lock but he found that there was another lock so he waited for the next car.” ‘The win- dow was broken this time, Hickman declared and McDermon went in. ‘Then he said he stood there for about fifteen minutes and was just going to walk away when the police drove up and ord- ered hi mto surrender, which he did promptly: ‘After the inquest, Hickman told re- porters that he was a victim of cir- cumstances and never would have com- mitted the deed if he had not. been drunk and in bad company. Sergeant Frank Reynolds, squad leader, said that Hickman had been booked for burglary but it 1s probable ‘that the charge will be changed to some lesser offense. MeDermon the dead man secured $1.75 as his loot. FIRE AT STORER COLLEGE WIPES OUT LIBRARY HARPER'S FERRY, W. VA., Nov. 2 —A fire starting in the dressing room behind tho stage in the Storer College chapel, completely destroyed the sec- ond and third floors of the building. Tt is believed that the conflagration ‘was caused by spontaneous combustion Anthony Memorial Hall houses the library, administration building and lecture romms and the chapel. Labro- atory equipment on the first floor was slightly damaged. Student and alumni records were saved. Classes are ex- pected to begin again shortly. It was learned that only part of the section destroyed was coveree oy insur- ance. The library, which was com- pletely destroyed. was considered the ‘best in this section of the state. MADLOVER'S cll BARKS DEATH FOR WOMAN AND SEL hee TE Ne ER a Third District, testified at the inquest Monday, that, following a call about the shooting about 11:30 Sunday night, he took the wagon and rushed over to the scene of the tragedy. He said that the revolver from which the shots had been fived was lying near Dr. Colbert's risht hand and near Coleman's feet. ‘Woman Shot in Breast In spite of vhis fact, however, exam- ination of the bodies revealed that the woman had been shot once under the left breast and once over the right breast, while Coleman had been shot once through the head and had powder marks on his hat, which he had appar- ently kept on his head at the time of the shooting. ‘These bits of evidence indicate almost certainly that Coleman did the shooting and when the woman fell at his feet tuned the gun on himself, dropping it from his hand as he crumpled to the floor. " ‘The motive for the murder and sui- cide are also somewhat subject to spec- ulation, Eugene Coleman, brother to the dead man, declared that he had known his brother to be going with Dr. Colbert for sbout two years. He ad- mitted that his brother and the doctor had lived together as man and wife at her apartment for some time. He knew nothing of any quarrels qr jealousy be- tween the two and saig’ they always seemed to get along well. He declared that his brother had left Dr. Colbert’ apartment about six months ago, but other witnesses testified that he. had been around there almost constantly up to the night of the treedy. Some hint of motive was given by s sister of Dr. Colbert. She told the cor- oner that the doctor had come to her i one time not long ago and said Coleman wanted to marry her, but she didn't want him because of his bad disposi- tion. It is thought that perhaps Cole- man proposed again Sunday night and maddened by a refusal, committed’ the murder and suicide, Both College Bred Both victims of the tragedy were col- lege bred. Dr. Colbert, besides doing lucrative business as a chiropodist, wa: employed as a secretary to Dr. R. A Williams according to her sister’s state- ment. She owned the two flat building: in one of which she resided and was re- ported to have a bank account of more than $2,000. - Coleman, according to his brother was a graduate of Paul Quinn College in Waco, Texas. He played fullback or the football team there about. sever years ago, his brother said. At the time of his death he was employed as a clerk in the postoffice. ‘There was some indication of « stren- uous fight to be waged by the familie of the deceased to fix the responsibillt for the tragedy. ‘The Coleman estate was represented by Attorney W. L Dewson, while the family of Dr. Col bert have retained Attorney R. W Adams as their counsel. Because of the absence of two impor- tant witnesses and because the repor of the coroner’s physician was no! available, the inquest was continued t 4.9v. 10 at 2:30 p.m. Deputy Coroner J.R. Dorfman had charge of the inves. tigation. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—In a fit of an- ger, the culmination of a jealous quar- rel over another woman, James George, 40 years old, slashed the throat of his wife, Dora George, 38 years old, with a pocket knife early Sunday morning in their apartment at 107 West 128th street. According to the story told the police by Amos George, 23 years old, and Mrs, Edna Dorsey, 20, of 65 Sumpter street, children of the couple, the killing fol- lowed a party at the George home at which George showered an unusual a- mount of attention on one of the wo- men guests. ‘The father was said to have been on friendly terms with the woman for some time. At the party, Amos resented manifestations of familiarity between his father and this woman and drdered her out of the house to save his moth- er from further humiliation, After the party, a family argument ensued over the incident, and the cli- max was that George, in a fit of rage, evered his wife's jpgular vein, Reallz- ing what he had @one, George rushed his wife to the Harlem hospital in a cab, but she was dead when he reached there. His arrest followed a few min- rtes later. HARRISBURG, PA, Noy. 2—One of those who made a plea ofr Angelo Jack- son, now seeking a pardon after serv ing a term of twenty years for the mur- der of Miss Gertrude Nicholas, was Dr. S, M. Rhinehart, of Washington, D. C,, husband of the famous novelist, Mary Roberst Rinehart. Jackson was for- merly employed by the Rhineharts as a gardener when they resided in Se- wickley, Pa. : Dr. Rhinehart testified that during the time he was acquainted with Jack- son, the latter was amiable and known for his industriousness and sobriety. ‘The deceased was characterized as a woman with a violent temper who had threatened Jackqson’s life on many oc- casions. Jackson was sentenced to death in 1907 but was later given a commutation of sentence to life imprisonment. Counsel for Jackson Tuesday when he appeared before the State Pardon Board wes M. A. Musmanno, who took a prominent part in the Sacco-Van- zetti trial. ROBBER GETS 20 YEARS FOR JOB: STRIKES LAWYER ‘Walter Benson, alias Vineie, was sen- fenced to spend from one to vwenty years in the penitentiary at Joliet for robbery after a jury in Judge Harry B ‘Miller's court returned a verdict against him. In addition to this sentence he was given a year in the Bridewell on contempt of court charge growing out of his indiscreet act of punching his lawyer in the nose when the verdict ‘was read. Benson, according to the evidence submitted by the complaining witness, Elizabeth Jones, 2716 LaSalle street, met her on the street at 29th and La- Salle. She said she refused an impro- per proposal made to her and kept on walking. Benson followed, she said. Mrs. Jones declared she entered a gro- cery store in the neighborhood to make @ purchase and upon coming out of the store, she had $9 lef’ in her purse. Steals and Runs |_At the juncture, Benson is alleged tin ‘have again shadowed her and nally as ‘they approached the corner of 27th and Dearborn streets, he snatched the purse from Mrs. Jones and ran down the street. | Louise Lee, 2807 LaBalle, saw him run and recognized him. It was at her request, the evidence showed, that the victim’ procured a warrant for Benson's arrest. Meanwhile, Benson became involved in other petty thievery, was caught and ‘sent to the workhouse for a long term. Officers Jesse Sneed and William Franklin of the Cottage Grove station, located him there ond on the day of his dismissal, served the robbery war- rant on him, ‘Smashed Counsel's Nose Benson was brought to trial imme- diately and was held under $5,000 bond until the grand jury reviewed the case and indicted him. | ‘The jury returned after a short de- liberation Tuesday afternoon a guilty verdict was read as the finding. His “attorney, Mr. Harris, was about to ask for a new trial, when Benson suadenly sprang from his seat and sent a vicious right to the defense counsel's nose. Blood spattered, Deputy Sheriff Bark- stall and several other court aids seized the frenzied prisoner and were about {0 drag him to the bull pen when halte by Judge Miller, Tt was learned later ‘on that Benson’ was angry at his at- ‘torney because the latter would not let ‘him read the indictment papers. ‘{t will be recalled that Attorney Har- ris is the same lawyer who several months ago claimed that while inyesti- gating a case on a junk dealer who shot 2 colored boy on the west side, two col- ored men fired at him. The police of the district, after an immediate probe, ‘discredited his story.

OAKLAND, CALIF., Nov, 2—Edward Moseley, 21 years old, and known as the “boy bandit,” has been transferred to the Alameda county jail where he is being detained on a charge of rob- \ cy. He is alleged to have committed the crime on the night of September 15th. ‘Young Moseley is also suspected of the murder of Henry Skolnick, who was found shot through the side at Camp- bell and Pacific streets a few weeks age. Skolnick’s dying statement gave a description that seemed to fit Mosely. ‘Mosely, who says he is an orphan and hails from Baltimore, was arrested two hours after the death of Skolnick. A 32-calibre revolver was found on him. Besides the scant description furnished by the dying man, Mosely was sus- pected of the murder because the bul- let which killed Skolnick was of the same calibre as the revolver found on the boy. Mosely declares he is innocent of the murder. He maintains thet at the time of the shooting he was up- town. When he was arrested he had only $4.88 in his pockets, whereas, he Pointed out, the man who shot Skol- nick was supposed to have robbed his victim of $15. NEWARK, N. J. Nov. 2—When it ‘was discovered Wednesday that Frank ‘Jackson, who was beaten and kicked by Detective Joseph M. Carlin ‘Tues- day morning, was stffering from a bul- let wound, Carlin, who. was declared ‘0 have been intoxicated at the time he attacked Jacko, wa immediately suspended, Jackson is in the city hos- pital. Carlin is said to have killed another colored man ten days before he wound- ed Jackson. It was revealed by exam- ination that Jackson had been shot in the head, the bullet having entered his right cheek, flattened and spread out Into various parts of his face and neck. According to the police report o the case, Dr. Morris Kleinman diagnosed Jackson's injuries as lacerations of the head and face. Dr. Kleinman also detected the odor of alcohol on the /wounnded man’s breath, ‘The man whom Carlin killed was Robert Ashley, of 169 Morris avenue Ashley was fatally shot October 10th, during a raid on a lunch room. He was said to have attempted to resist arrest MAN WHO KILLED ONEAND CUT TWO GIVEN a0) YEARS Frank Daniels, 34 years old, who last June 12, slew Robert Wyche during a brawl at @ road house on the far south side, was found guilty of murder by a jury in the court of Judge Harry B. Mil- ler of the Criminal court late Tuesday evening and was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment in the state penitentiary. Hearing on a motion for a new trial was se: for November 12th. ‘The state, through Prosecuting At- torneys Charles S. Dougherty and Way land C. Brooks sought to show that on the night of June 12, Daniels while at the roadhouse, became attracted to a girl by the name of Minnie, He went over to engage in conversation with her, but was interrupted by a friend © his, Gilbert Hocks, who told him to get away from the girl. Hooks and Daniels got into a figr and in the me- lee, Daniels stabbed Hooks in the back. Rushing from the place, he then cut A’onzo and Robert Wyche. Bleeds To Death ‘Hooks and Albert Wyche were not seriously hurt. Robert Wyche was also not thought to be seriously injured and was forgotten in the excitement. Later on, however, it developed that he had been cut deply in th leg, th blade sev- ering an artery and he died within a skort time from loss of blood. Daniels, through his attorney, Ferdi- nand L. Barnett, entered a plea of self defense. He stated that before coming to the roadhouse he liad seen Minnie and Alonzo Wyche at another place they haa had a. quarrel with him there and had threatened him. At this he A short time later, he declared, Min- ni> came to the roadhouse. He’ spoke to her and she replied with an oath, She then walked off to one side and drew a knife and opened it. Seeing her do this,.and remembering her threats, Daniels opened his knife also. Alonzo Arrives A short time thereafter Alonzo Wyche arrived at the roadhouse. He talked to the girl in an undertone and fearing they were going to carry out their threats and do his bodily harm, Daniel said, he started to leave. They got between him and the door, and a whole crowd of people, including Robert Wyche and Gilbert Hooks attacked him and started to beat him. He cut his way into the open with the result that the three men were hurt. Nobody dreamed that the cut on Robert Wythe's leg would prove fatal and they left him lying on the floor to bleed to death. State's Attorney Daugherty pointed out in his argument that Daniels had said nothing of the previous quarrel or of his fear of being attacked at the inguest. He intimated that he be- lieved the whole story was a fabrica- tion. ‘The jury deliberated on the case ‘about one hour. OTEALS CLOTHES: PLEADS GUILTY Joseph Walker, 3666 Wabash avenue, a plasterer’s laborer, pleaded guilty Monday morning in the Pekin court to a charge of stealing some articles of clothing and a small amount of money from William Hill, also a plasterers la borer and a former friend of the culprit. Hill testified that Walker had broken the window in his home, climbed in and stole a suit of clothes, a hat gloves and thirty cents in money from a trunk, the lock of which he broke. ‘The suit was in pewn at the time of the arrest. He demanded that the judge punish Walk- er to the fullest extent of the law. Walker admitted the theft and the pawning of the suit. He said he and his wife had been in very bad straits, she being ill and he out of work. When he didn’t even have car fare or money for food, he went to see Hill for a loan. Hill was not at home he said, so he just entered the house and took the things to pawn, intending to redeem them and return them when he obtained employ- ment. Judge Borrelli gave Walker a suspend- ed sentence of $50 and costs and six montns in the House of Correction and put him on probation. He warned him tzat if he violated his probation he would have to go to jail. He also or- dered him to return Hill's property-to him and reim¥urse him for the dam- age done to his home and his trunk in the burglary. WOMEN IN HOOCH BATTLE A drunken quarrel between Helen Johnson, 4212 Calumet avenue and Em- ma Carter, 4156 Langley avenue, early Saturday morning resulted in Mrs, Johnson going to Provident hospital with an artery in her arm cut. The hestilities occurred at 4156 Vincennes ‘avenue at the home of one John Smith. PHILLIPS HOPES FADE; TWO PLAYERS INELIGIBLE Tuskegee Wallops Lincoln By 39-0 Score; Famous Horsemen Strut PAGE EIGHT THEY DO SAY By Al Monroe The 7-6 defeat of Northwestern by Illinois two weeks ago showed that the Purple is slightly weak on the defense. It also showed the power of one man, Captain Reitsch, the Illini center, was a terror to the Purple on every play and not once were the northsiders able to stop his escapades. But that is not the only discovery defensively about the Northwestern team Tom Verdell, the powerful colored boy playing one of the ends was not allowed to start the game but once in there he was a terror on the defense and he was a fool and fumbles (what: few of the latter there were) showed him at his best. I am inclined to think that Coach Hanley is passing up one big chance in his failure to use Verdell at the start of the game. Tom is a powerful man, fast, shifty, and a good tackler. At catching passes, he is notoriously weak, but more than makes up for this shortage by stopping everything that comes his way. On the other hand, Fisher is one of the best receivers in the conference. Fisher and Verdell form a great combination for this reason and would be of great use to the Hanley system. A suggestion, it seems, would be to let Fisher run wild grabbing passes and protecting his wing while Verdell is used defensively. Had Northwestern put up the same defense in the early stages of the game as its stalwart, exhibited when Willie Johnson registered that touchdown they perhaps would not have been compelled to bow in defeat. Start Verdell while Fisher is fresh and ready and with the aid of Verdell's blocking the Evanston school will bow to no team in the conference. There is a rumor going the rounds that Hanley will not coach the Purple next season. Apparently there is some trouble brewing which may or may not be settled by the arrival of the 1928 season. A trouble expected to wipe Hanley along with the tide of passing coaches. The bomb is said to have originated in the rooms of various fraternities about the campus many of which are reaching for the mentor's scalp. Such practices are common at Northwestern perhaps more than at any other school. Thisisterwrite felt it, and the coaches preceding his reign tasted the northside school he was "given the derstand certain things" were so and so and that other things were not so good. Yet the coach went about his business with apparent success for a while. That his club has sustained defeat in the first game of the season and against one of the few opponents it's doped to defeat must have riled the opposition. That's why we feel that Coach Hanley's scalp is in danger. Speaking of fraternities they certainly have their points both good and bad in every school, it would seem. Students of Howard University often lament over the peculiarities and the same may often be heard from other schools. In fact; it was the bombhells hurled in different directions by this same body that started all the noise at the Washington school years ago. Certain players on the basketball team were kept in the background while weaker brothers but fraternity men were having their say on the clubs' programs. Such men was Spears, Johnson and Simpson of Chicago were forced to face the situation and found the going too tough to stick. The first colored player to taste the bitter dregs of fraternism at Northwestern was Sam Peyton, one of the finest pieces of playing material in the school's history. Peyton made the mistake of lining up with one of the "frats" in its "war" with a rival organization. The rival organization won as was to have been expected and Peyton, on the losing side, found himself fitted in toggergy with no place to play. Peyton has often talked of the situation but never yet have we found him able to laugh it off. As this is written, Northwestern has other conference games to play. Games slated to be much tougher than the Illini game which they lost and considered, until last Saturday, much sooner than the Ohio state game which she won by a score of 19-13. This we quote by the way of suggesting that one never can tell. The unexpected is ever happening and when it occurs something or someone is swept in the fangs of done spilling. Verdell will get his real chance next season when Fisher and one more of the present end combinations keeping him on the side lines will be lost to the school by graduation. The same goes for Bob Colin, the big fullback who is ineligible this season because of scholastic difficulties. Both should make good. They have the goods, will be given the chance for, from all indications, Hanley is as fair as might be expected on the color question. He has shown no preference of course in using the colored boys but whenever they have been available and whenever the going became rough, Verdell was found in the game. Get a little glue on your paws, Verdell, and let's go. What say? WILBUR COHEN BATTLES AT BALTIMORE FRIDAY BALTIMORE, MD., Nov. 2-Baltimore fans remember the great battle Wilbur Cohen of New York, fought with Benny Schwartz at the Fourth Regiment Cohen several months ago. This same Cohen will meet Wille K. Phillips Must Forfeit Games Won, Because Of 2 Ineligible Players ALABAMA STATE COUNTS AT WILL OVER SELMA '11 Speedy Backs Run, Pass And Buck At Will '10 Gain 49-0 Advantage MONTGOMERY, ALA. Oct. 28—The Alabama State Normal Hornets completely swamped Selmco University to the tune of 49-0 here today, although the first team had opportunity for only ten minutes of play at the beginning of the fourth quarter. This victory followed close upon the decision 13-6 victory scored over Morehouse College in Atlanta last Saturday, although the Morehouse athletic authorities seemed indisposed to release the story of this victory to the weekly press last week. The game today started with the Hornets kicking off to Selmco. The visitors offered stiff opposition against State normal's second team for about five minutes of play, but faltered thereafter before the mighty stings of the Hornets. Before the half ended, the Hornets had piled up a safe margin of three touchdowns. Each try after a touchdown was missed. The first half was featured by the beautiful 50-yard dash of H. Jones. Near the end of the half, Coley brought the spectators to their feet with a pretty broken field run, which netted 40 yards. The second half found the same second team Hornets unstoppable. The entire backfield ripped off 15 and 20 yards almost at will. The full varsity lineup was sent in at the beginning of the fourth period and showed their gratitude for the opportunity to play by making three touchdowns within ten minutes. The third team played the final five minutes and scored the final touchdown. The visitors showed much fight and spirit. They fought until the last. The aerial attack proved to be their best offense although it proved fatal on two or three occasions. BASKETBALL TO GET UNDER WAY NEXT FRIDAY BASKETBALL TO GET UNDER WAY NEXT FRIDAY Bill Brock and his famous Chicagoans will open the basketball season at Wendell Phillips Nov. 4, with a game and dance, it has been announced. Manager Brock is negotiating for one of the best teams in the city as the opposition. Bill Brock and his Chicagoans basketball team one of the best teams to represent the Windy City in years are practicing three nights a week at Wendell Phillips gymn. The team is fast getting into shape for the coming season. Tommy Osborne the coach, has his large squad of men working on new plays and he was heard to remark that he has the best squad of men this season that he has ever worked with; and Tommy is a veteran of fifteen years service, having coached championship teams in New York for several years. With such men as Ramsey, Brooks, Wendell Phillips, Blanchett, Watson, Gregory, Fleetwood and a host of others, Chicago will lead the middle west in basketball this season. Added to the roster of the Chicagoans is another young man well known to all Chicago as an all-star athlete, having starred in football, basketball and track in his high school days at Englewood high school. He is also well known in lodge and club life, being the keeper of records and seal of Pythias Lodge No. 2 of Chicago. This young man, Wm. E. Holmen, better known to all his friends as "Bill", is secretary and treasurer of the Chicagoans. The team will play such teams as St Louis, Mo. Springfield, O. Indianapolis Ind., Marion Ind., Detroit, Mich. Louisville, Ky., Muncie, Ind., and others in Chicago. They will play the famous Marathon Five of Dayton, O., Thanksgiving afternoon, Nov. 25th. O. Smith at the new Albert Auditorium on Friday night. The bout is scheduled to go eight rounds. With two sluggers of the Cohen-Smith type, it is doubtful if the fight will go the limit. Smith has already 14 straight knockouts to his credit and Baltimore fight fans on Pennsylvania avenue are betting even money that Smith will score his fifteenth kayo whe nhe meets Cohen. The local boy believes in finishing his game as quickly as possible, and, as he has been a prominent social engagement after the fight Friday night, he is hoping to be able to keep his appointment by 10:30. Plenty of action will be on tap when tness two gamecocks meet. Both are fast and each realizes that a win will mean a shot at the big money this winter and next spring.

By AL MONROE BY AL MONROE The Board of Control of high school athletics made a ruling yesterday. The ruling does not seem altogether fair, but it was made by the board, stand. The rules made by this Board must stand even though the evidence on which the action is founded may appear ridiculously weak. The latest ruling hits Wendell Phillips and claims that all games won by Phillips must be forfeited as a result of two players, Rainey and Cobb being over the age limit. The Chicago Whip made an investigation of the claims based upon information gained from one of the officials and our scribe admits the likelihood of there being something slightly wrong in Denmark. We made the same investigation credited to the Board and whereas we found legal proof of the leaks, the boys being under age were shocked to determine just how the board reached its conclusion that the boy was too old to ulloy. Our first visit was to Wendell Phillips. We found the officials, especially the principal and the teachers whose duty it is to handle the records a bit reluctant to talk of the matter. "To us this action appeared a bit strange in view of the attitude of Coach Mosby and his assistant, a Mr. Harris. So our first conclusion was that you can be something like a school. Considering the heads of the school not at all interested in the problem which threatens to wreck the morals of its football team showed proof of that. So from this point we visited the Raymond School where one of the boys, Rainey, had spent his prep days. Seeking the principal of Rigmond, hoping of course to find more of a cordial greeting than we had encountered from the principal at Phi Phi, we burst into the room bearing the sign "Office." We were told that the prey was in but perhaps we had best see Mrs. Rigney, an elderly teacher, at our time Rainey's instructor. Yes, she retembered Rainey well. Even the suit he wore, the seat he occupied, and the manner of his approach when he was asked to leave, made him much as this was a bit straighter than that the lady must have has some thousand or more studies handled that time. She admitted that the office from Englewood and another s.hooged upon her for information, filing Rainey and that at length on the subject. A s. majestic appearing woman she was brilliant speech an da determination to force us to believe her story. In response we were permitted to see the records bearing Rainey's date of birth. Now for the first time we found the kind lady becoming indignant. We had asked her to explain the bit of erasing—nearly done—that had changed 1908 to 1905. "Why there are two of them," suggested the lady. "First at the request of Rainey himself at the time of his entrance an dagnain in 1920 wher proof was submitted that his age had been erroneously stated. He was the face of erasure being related to the visit of the officials of the other school, was our next query. She did not thib The ruling looks a bit like a deliberate attempt to remove the dangerous Philips team from the sectional running. The school has won all of its games and is practically assured of the title and a chance to enter the semifinals. But with two forfeits there is little or no chance for the team now. Both Were Subs The regrettable feature about the whole thing is the fact that neither of the men in question, Cobb or Rainey, were regulars on the team. Cobb is one of the weakest men answering the call and has only been used as a sort of good will move on the part of Coach Mosby. Rainey is better but his loss will not hurt Phillips's chances. In ruling against Philips, the school board is breaking one of its own legislations made during the past season. It was decided at the regular off-season meeting that the question of ages must be taken up at the start of the season and that failure to challenge the age of any player at that time would bar TUXEDO First Mortgage Gold Bonds from South State Street's Largest Bank Depository for State County and City Funds Capital and Surplus $500,000.00 Approved Safe Investments yield 7% interest. $100 Bonds sold on easy payment plan.

Oct. 28.-For the first time in the football history of the two schools, Claflin University scored on and even triumphed over the fighting Cingleton Bears. The morale of the Bears was somewhat shaken at the beginning of the game by the continued indisposition of Walker, Jones and Small, who suffered injuries in the game with Shaw last Friday. The first half was a hard-fought affair with both teams punting frequently. In the first stages of the second quarter, Daniels of the Bears, rounded Claflin's in front and carried the ball from Claflin's 20 to her 10-yard line before being downed. The team however, lacked the pace on the ball; it was lost on downs. The first half ended with Livingstone in possession of the ball on Claflin's 20-yard line, after Butler had gained 36 yards around right end. Heartened by the fact that they had held the Bears scoreless in the first half, the Claflin boys came back with that "do or die" spirit and marched down the field from kickoff for the first touchdown. Knight carried the ball over. After a few minutes of play, Livingstone fumbled on her own 15-yard line and again the lads from South Carolina scored. Later in the game, Bythewood's toe added three more points to his score. The game was brought to a thrilling and heartening close when Blake intercepted a forward pass on his 40-yard line and raced the length of the field for the final score. As usual McCormick played a wonderful offensive and defensive game. any action for forfeits later in the season. The principals however, claim that they did not ratify the change and that it is not a rule until such action is taken. It looks like Phillips must accept the ruling and the loss of title notwithstanding the fact that the evidence is notoriously weak.

TUSKEGEE TOPS LINCOLN BY 39-0 SCORE IN EAST PHILADELPHIA, PA. Oct. 29 - Coach Abbott's powerful Tuskegee football team beat the Lincoln Lions here last Saturday in one of the most one-sided gmes ever witnessed in Baker Field. The score was 39-0. Frankly speaking, Lincoln never had a chance from the first kick-off to the closing play of the game. It was a Tuskegee, with the famous Horsemen, left of the reubountable Stevenson, doing the dirty work. Tuskegee lost no time in registering, scoring a marker after a series of brilliant runs by Stevenson and B. Biley behind perfect interference. After this they took their time until the late stages of the period and then after three successful passes, a run around end accounted for another touchdown. It was the worst beating Lincoln has sustained in years and surely one of the most decisive. ALABAMA STATE TO MEET LANE AT MEMPHIS, TENN.

It marked the second Conference win in as many weeks. The Clark line held like a stone wall and never was Morehouse closer tothe Clark goal line than thirty yards The Clark backfield ran wild and ripped off yardage on every play. The attack, led by Chambers, Ric Roberts, Duke Williams, Buke, DuPeR, Elmer Baker, Johnson, Cornellus and Dukes was the most spectacular ever seen here. The Clark backs totalled nearly 500 yards for the day's work. Clark received and after a series of off-tackle plays, Duke Williams, who hauled 15 yards on almost every attempt, swept around the left side of the Tiger line for a marker. Beck failed to kick the extra point. The next set of backs came into the game and started running the ball all over the lot. With one minute to play, before the end of the half, E. Baker shot a pass 33 yards to DuPre, who ran 12 yards unmolested for the second score. Baker added a goal and the half ended with the tally reading: Clark 13. Morehouse 0. Clark opened the second half by kicking in to the Maroon. After failing to gain, Morehouse punted to Elmer Baker who was downed almost in his tracks. Quire hit tackle for 11 yards; Chambers went around left end for 20 more. Ric Roberts then electrified the stands with the most sensational runever seen in this section. He hit through the left side of the Morehouse line, sidestepped a host of Morehouse tacklers including the safety man, and ran 54 yards for a touchdown. Baker kicked goal. A moment later Chambers scooped up a punt and ran 85 yards for a touchdown. On this play Chambers ran with such speed that the Tiger defense was helpless. The try for extra point was blocked. A new backfield then entered the fray. Beck began twirling, shifting and eluding the Tiger defense and soon carried the ball over for another touchdown. Squat Johnson then started his little noise by ripping the Morehouse line to pieces. He hit for 23 yards and then for 28 more.

PAUL TO LIST OF VICTIMS, 27-0 UNION LOSESTO A. & T. ON FORFEIT AS TEAMS BALK But Officials See Red In Victory And Losers Purse Is Held By Charles Guthrie PHILADELPHIA PA. Oct. 31--George Godfrey, whom Tex Rickard told, thrugh his manager, "Gentleman Jim" Dougherty, to "get a record first," started out on the third lap of his campain today but met with a permature halt as the boxing commission decided that his one-round knockout of Tom Sayers may or may not have been "one of those things." ```markdown ``` Mr. Godfrey looked like a powerful fighter to some — to others George looked like an ordinary fighter biffing a man whose desire for victory was overshadowed by a desire t osee the other fellow triumph. Unfortunately, the boxing commission was on the side of the latter and when the song sounded the commish them had its say. Sayers end of the purse was held up, the boxing body contending that his efforts did not appear entirely sincere. The halt was certainly a bait to Godfrey, dubbed the Black Shadow of Lieperville, the boxer. George was being given considerable attention to receiving a Tunney match. The question now is: What will the promoters and the public think of the other quick kayes George has scored. Will he continue to take him seriously? The fight was brief and uninteresting. A story that appears a bit off, in view of the apparent punching power of Godfrey George opened the fight with a left to the face and followed with a right to the jaw. Sayers clinched, then sent over a left to the face that turned Godfrey around. Godfrey missed right and left to head and then took another left to the face. Godfrey landed a terrific left to the head and then to the stomach and the men clinched. As the referee broke the match, he warned Sayers for his apprehension. Then the fight was over. Godfrey sent three straight blows to the body and Sayers to offer a return. Sayers landed a right to the face and then landed lightly to the stomach. Godfrey rushed Sayers to the ropes and sent a terrific right to the face and a double left to the stomach and Sayers tumbled to the floor as if dead. A mighty yell ascended as the referee toled the full count over his prostrate form. By C. L. Washington HOVEY FIELD, RICHMOND, VA. Virginia Union lost to the powerful A & T. eleven by a 1-0 forfeit after the Aggies had ploughed through the Panther line for a touchdown and an extra point before a big crowd gathered n o Hovey Field last Saturday. With only a few minutes remaining before a good, hard football game would be: over, Breaux of Union, standing a dozen or so yards behind the line of scrimmage tossed about a 20 yard pass to Gardner. Immediately an opposing player tackled Gardner so forcibly that the pigskin bounced from his hands and Robinson of Union picked up the ball and ran across the goal line. The referee ruled that the ball was dead before Robinson picked it up and ran with it; he also judged that Union had not quite made the first and second that it was A. & T.'s ball about the 35 yard line of discussion arose over the time and finally after not allowing time and play was not resumed. Referee Catherine forfeited the game to A. & T. Both teams were on the field at the time. Union athletic authorities deeply regretted the fact that the game was forfeited. The first half was featured by a determined punting battle, with Coleman and Breaux gettin goff long punts. Union was completely on the defensive in their manner of play. In this period A & T made three firsts and tens and Union made only two. The half ended 0-0. A & T with Lane and Coleman opening up a powerful offensive in the second half, making 3 first down and tens from midfield. Miller, Lunarine, and Coleman were A. & T. Lunarine, while Anderson and Breaux played brilliantly for Union. In the final half, A. & T completely outplayed Union, ripping big holes in the Panther line. Referee: Coppage; Umpire Contee. LINCOLN OF MISSOURI TOPPLES TOPEKA TEAM By L. C. Smith JEFFERSON CITY MO., Oct 29- Lincoln outclassed and outplayed the Topeka team today to win the annual HAMPTON INSTITUTE, VA., Oct. 29 —The St. Paul eleven, after holding up remarkably for nearly two full quarters, cracked under the strain of heavy line plunging when the Blue and White Seasiders rolled up four touchdowns for twenty-seven points on Armstrong Field. The Tigers realized what a job they had to defeat the Seasiders, so they played hard to keep the Blue and White team from scoring. In their desire for a stiff defense the offense suffered miserably. Only once did the Tigers have a chance to score and that chance came on the 30-yard line in Hampton's territory. There was a lack of punch in the line hitting and as a result, time after time the Tiger runners were tached back of the line of scrimmage. The enormous score that nion plied up on St. Paul had its telling effects psychologically, because the Seasiders failed to put forth their best efforts in defeating the Tigers in the early part of the game. The first score did not come until late in the second quarter when Baker ploughed through the line for the first touchdown of the game—thus compensating the team for the costly fumbles made by him previously. New Man Shows Starting in the lineup was a newcomer in the Seaside camp by the name of Edgar Guest—a native of Oklahoma. He was a great ground gainer and a perfect man on the defense. It was no unusual sight to see him rolling through the line for ten or fifteen yards, or, on the defense, tackling a man behind the line of scrimmage. In the second half, Hampton came back with a little more determination to win. Within a short time, Byrd, Hampton's star quarterback, had slipped off tackle for a touchdown, and Jones, the former University of Minnesota back, kicked the extra point. Following closely on the second touchdown came the third The Blues and Whites started a march down the field from the 40-yard line with Jones, Capt Williams and Kings as stars. Bulldog Williams broke through the line for the third touchdown. Byrd failed the extra point. The fourth touchdown came in the last quarter when a Baker to Byrd pass resulted in a score. A Baker to Byrd pass added the extra point. The St. Paul team had a fair defense and a weak offense. However, there was Williamson, the Norfolk lad in tackle; Connor, the punting halfback; Coleman, the right guard; and Captain Williams, in tackle, who proved to be worthy men on the team. For the Blue and White eleven there was Wildman Lee; Edgar Guest, the flashy halfback; Capt. Built Dog Williams; Du Baker, the triple threat of Phoebus; and Jones, former University of Minnesota back, that played the leading roles. TO A. & T. ON TEAMS BALK CAROLINA STATE STOPS HAINES 11 IN THRILLER ORANGEBURG, S. C., October 8th—State College "Bull Dogs" ran wild with Haines here at the fair Friday by piling up an elaborate score of 45-0. Fumbles and penalties frequented the game. Many times the fumbles of one team were covered by the other, but as a whole the Carolina boys were more on the alert. Long pass from Powell to Dawkins, punt received by Credell who ran 65 yards, a heavy line plunge by Cunningham were some of the methods used in pilling up the score. game 30-7 on the Lincoln gridiron. The game was one in which line bucks, long end runs and passes featured. Powerful line bucks by Robinson, King and Campbell and the end runs of Rogers, with the line holding, paved the way for three more touchdowns for the fighting Tigers. Topeka had a good team, but their line was no match for the Tigers. The visitors put up a good fight in the third quarter, using trick plays that netted them four first downs without endangering the Tigers' goal.

STRAIGHT BEATS JACKSON ELEVEN BY 44-0 SCORE NEW ORLEANS, LA., Oct. 29 - Springing a surprise to all who are followers of the Crimson Tide, Straight College invaded Jackson College's campus and administered a coat of whitewash to the Jackson College Warriors. Straight scored in the first two minutes of play when Tom Golden plunged through for two successive first downs and Squatter Benjamin, flashy quarterback, ran behind perfect interference through the center of the line and the whole Jackson team to Jackson's one yard line, a distance of about 30 yards. Here on the same play, he went over for Straight's first touchdown. Josie Miller scored Straight's next touchdown on a brilliant run of about 30 yards around right end. This was only one of the three he made during the day starring again: for the "Crimson Tide." Tom Bolden was not to be outdone for he too scored a touchdown by intercepting a forward pass and racing 65 yards for another touchdown. The aerial attack of Straight wa sperfect and the passing of Joe Henderson was wonderful. He, too, scored a touchdown on a pas from Benjamin and ran 30 yards for a score. Big "Jookie" came in for his share of honor by being called into the back: eld and ripping off substantial gains, and playing his stellar game as a linesman. "Foots" Hector would not permit a Jackson man to run his end and was in every play, tackling hard and deadly. Captain Washington was the old war horse, getting into play after play and leading his men as only a veteran can. Waldon, Dyson, Royal, Dugas, played very very good game while the kicking of Weems and while C. Adams was exceptionally good. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY WAL LOPS TALLADEGA. 13 TO 7 Atlanta University and Talladega played one of the most spectacular fames of football ever seen on the Atlanta athletic field last Saturday. Talladega was heavy and in fine form and so was Atlanta. Coaches Aiken, Johnson and Gunn had done wonders in a week's time with the Atlanta aggregation. Talladega kicked to Atlanta which Atlanta returned and Talladega fumbled on their thirty-yard line—then a good pass placed the ball on Talladega's one-foot line for a first down. Then a high pass over the quarterback's head was seized by Pearson of Talladega who wrote the length of the field for their only touchdown. That raised the blood in Atlanta's eyes. They kicked and then Robinson broke through and blocked Talladega's return kick which was covered by Pierce for Atlanta's first touchdown. A second touchdown in the second quarter ended the scoring. Atlanta gave most of her reserves a chance and played to hold Talladega where they had her, as they did to the end. Each team attempted eighteen passes out of which, Atlanta completed four and Talladega three. Atlanta made twelve first downs to Talladega's seven. When Talladega's wonderful passing game was smoothed by Atlanta, they seemed to have left the ball unwilling to stand that stood out for Talladega were Cooper, Pearson Edwards, and Capt. James. For Atlanta they were Robinson, Pierce, Whedoo McPherson, Red Jones, Ward and Simon. Wilberforce, Howard Look Like Best Thanksgiving Classic Teams The four major classic teams — Howard and Lincoln in the east and Wilberforce and West Virginia in the west — are closing their regular schedule games and getting ready for the annual battles slated to explode on Thanksgiving Day afternoon. The Howard team, having set the all-important matter of giving their players something to use for food and a place to employ for sleeping purposes, are rounding into form and turning all eyes toward Philadelphia, where the scene of battle is to be located this season. The Howard situation was more serious than at first thought, it has been revealed. The players, having proved their point, or at least gained the floor to tell the world in general and the professors in particular that no team can function properly unless the midsection of the body has been supplied with maintenance material enclosing of various greases and starches, with an occasional touch of sugar and cow milch. The players are not yet beyond a more theory, having failed to present the practical side of the argument. One official, however, is said to have undergone a day of fasting, but inasmuch as it was due to failure of proper connection with the secretary, the board ruled that the test was compulsory, and not a fair one. Lincoln's Problems At the same time, Lincoln is having its problems. The Lions, having lost about all the games possible for them to drop and thus being eliminated from title consideration, settled down to their task as a result of having figured it the best way out. They must have considered training their eyes on the toward game a much easier task than trying to beat Tuskegee, Hampstead, or New York. It looks like move Lincoln has made this season and certainly faster than their speed in the direction of any opponents goal, though I daresay, not as clumsy. In the west we find things different. Wilber force, having gone through the season) without sustaining a single defeat, has its mind set on a title of national rating. But this is nothing new to "the Force." They have had title ideas before, one to have the hopes astray, another to have the attention at the hands of this same Institute which it must battle Thanksgiving Day. But frankly, I feel that this may be "the Force's" year, for the second straight time. Surely they have no such matter of importance as is true of Howard, to worry them and have no reason to form the same complex as Lincoln must labor under, as a handicap. Yes, Wilberforce should win with hands down. The exception of course, rests in the fact that they will be batting a team with both heads and hands up and a team with the ones ascended has a knack of out-gaming a team that goes into a classic with them down, as Wilberforce did for a number of years. Chicago Eyes West Chicago's delegation of "classic" fans will in all probability, see the western game this season. To date, some two or more hundred have signified their intention of attending the game at Columbus, O. They point out the fact that the western schools should play a better brand of football than the eastern tables is more likely to occur in the east than in the west. The fans seem to think Howard has set a precedent which they may be forced to follow Save Time Save Money Ride the "L" You save both time and money when you ride the rapid transit.

Ride the "L" Chicago Rapid Transit "JAZZ BYRD'S" 11 DOWNS GEORGIA STATE BY 18-0 TALLAHASSEE, FLO., Oct. 28.—Jazz Byrd's meteoric eleven defeated Georgia State college her on Friday, October 28, 1927, by a score of 18-0. Florida kept the ball in Georgia's territory throughout the first half and made the only scores of the game. A pass from Quarterback Bragg to End Peak netted Florida its first touchdown, in the first eight minutes of play. Florida opened an aerial attack which set the Georgia boys wondering. Mahone, Florida's speedy end, snagged passes or twisted the ball under cover, putting the ba, on Georgia's six yard line, after which Fullback Whitehead hit Georgia's line for the second touchdown. Florida made its last touchdown when Fullback Whitehead intercepted a pass and ran thirty-four yards for a touchdown. In the second half, Coach Byrd called in his first eleven and sent out his Junior Jazz Byrds. Georgia immediately started an aerial attack and carried the ball to Florida's six yard line, but failed to penetrate the Junior Jazz Byrds' line. Georgia was held for downs, thus losing their only chance to score during the game and Anderson, Florida's Junior Quarterback, kicked 50 yards. and certainly so should their particular favorite finish a "close second." One reason the eastern classic should draw, however, is the fact that Llons colin believe that his best bows contain for the loss of morale, while the fans contend that the Llons have no team at all. For this reason we would not be surprised to find several thousand fans, unable to find Lincoln's team in the scramble on hand to search for that lost morale. This I take, comes from a desire on the part of the school's supporters to compare the morale with the team and see just how much of the former went "a-hunting" with the departure of the latter.

It must — sometimes. In fact it usually is. But there are exceptions and about ten thousand patrons saw an appropriately fitting example of the exception Friday night as the age-worn and shock absorbing Jock Malone beat the one-time highly touted Walcott Langford into a state of submission in ten listless rounds. Langford never had a chance. He was beaten from the first" round to the final stanza anc. only once, in the third round, did the colored battler rise to a height that must have accounted for his being selected to oppose the foxy Jock. It is rather a difficult task to enumerate or even select the particular punch or punches with which Malone scored his notorious hits, sometimes craftily, sometimes ridiculously, and most of the time, listlessly, but even so, his offerings were a puzzle to Langford. Langford starts Fast Walcott Langford started out fast, his usual style and a system formerly employed to good advantage. But the early speed was not a true example of what the losing man had to offer and was most certainly the surplus of a great supply of stamina stored within. For in a few seconds, Langford was breathing hard, swinging wild (whenever .e swung at all) and finding considerable trouble locating a safety spot for his awkwardly placed feet. It simply wasn't Langford's night or fighting isn't his game. Take your choice. Save Money STEWART CONTINUES TO SWAT 'EM AT WILLARD Sammy Stewart continues to be a riot at the Willard theatre, 51st at South Parkway, where his gang is working nightly. Stewart is featuring in stage presentations along with his regular music. Hazel Thompson Davis' girls are used to a big advantage and the theatre is packed nightly as the curtain ascends. The Willard is the only theatre on the southside changing pictures daily. The management boasts of running first run pictures. The stage attractions are changed weekly, and the scenery likewise. The latter is as pretty as any to be seen at any of the theatres on the southside. The success scored by Stewart at the Willard is little short of a miracle. When the band moved into the theatre the business was down to the very lowest point. Only neighborhood kids filled the front row seats—the rest of the house was empty. But the coming of Sammy and his gang has caused the place to be jammed nightly. But even so, the price remains the same, undoubtedly the cheapest at any theatre on the southside. But the class of shows presented makes one think he is sitting in at one of the very classy theatres downtown. Brown Skin Models Coming to the Grand Starting Monday evening Irvin C. Miller brings the 1928 edition of his "Brown Skin Models" into the Grand theatre. This is the attraction about which the people of New York have raving for the past several months. According to the critics the show is fast, much faster than the 1927 edition and featured with pretty costumes and beautiful women.

She was a most interesting character, a person every member of your race should have known. We say this as a means of admitting that the name of Florence Mills will live on and on. Florence Mills, a small figure, started out in the late Bob Mott's theatre, known as the Pekin. Motts' place became smaller and smaller due jointly to the change in times and the evolution which makes of one district a forgotten place while another section of the city gains in growth. That explains the loss of prestige by Motts' famous 29th street rendezvous. But Florence Mills grew and grew until she had as nearly reached the point of perfection as any member of her profession, regardless of color. When once Florence found herself handicapped because popularity had waned in her particular district, she moved to another. That explains a part of the reason for her spending the last few years of her career on Broadway. New York tells us that Broadway is the last word in the profession. We respect the late Miss Mills and for that reason we see some light in the contention. Yes, we say otherwise Florence Mills would not have been there At that however, one is inclined to suggest that Miss Mills outgrew even Broadway. There must have been something in her moving into Europe where she has spent the last several months. That Florence was abroad for the thrill and experience cannot be said with authority. She must have had something in view to have remained "over there" under the conditions she was forced to work under. When Florence first landed, she was a sensation. Her every move was first page stuff. But the greatness of her color, the extremity of her drawing power iked the natives and move after move was made to crush the popularity of Florence Mills. But the great little star was not to be disturbed. She battled her way through and best of all, did it in a way that even her most deadly enemies were forced to respect. What she did was done with the idea that she stood in a place to do some good for her race. If she failed, then more power to discrimination. Surely it was not the fault of Florence Mills. In Europe Florence was never boisterous. If she wasn't sober at all times, she was most certainly a splendid actress, even greater than we ever gave her credit for being. The things she did were for her people. The things she did not do were best left undone. Such was the life that Florence Mills lived Miss Mills did more for her people than all the churches combined, as far as lowering the bars of prejudice was concerned. She not only told the Nordic that her people must be respected, but made them heed by being a splendid example of why they should. Florence Mills was a star — there can never be the slightest doubt in the minds of the followers of things theatrical concerning that point. But more than all else, she was a lady and we highly respect her for that reason. Showing the foreign whites the side of the Negro that the visiting Americans were trying their best to tell them did not exist — and in the face of temptations which must have been hard. But Florence Mills DID IT. There will never be another like her, we fear. THE CHICAGO WHIP SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1927. STAGE AND SCREEN Savoy, Nation's Greatest Ballroom, To Open Its Doors Thanksgiving The magnificent structure housing the new million dollar Savoy ballroom at 47th street and South Parkway is rapidly nearing completion and the report has it that Thanksgiving eve, Wednesday night, November 23rd, will witness the opening. To judge from the plans now being discussed by the management, the opening of this institution of the dance one of the greatest, is not the greatest, event of the century in this richicity. Scores of notables in every walk of life, have already accepted invitations to be present, numerous stage and screen stars among them, and it is expected that the welcoming speech will be made by the Honorable William Hale Thompson, our illustrious mayor. Three gorgeous and spacious stages confront the dancers upon which will be presented attractions known from coast to coast and a great many internationally known. The list reads like a page from the "Who's Who" of America, a few among them being: Fletcher Henderson and his orchestra, Sammy Stewart, Dave Peyton, Ben Black, Bill Robinson, Mamie Smith, Paul Robeson and countless others too numerous +) and the grand future events is replete with new ideas, thrilling and captivating evenings of all sorts, enlivened by a spirit of romance and charm that must exist in view of the enticing beauty of the Savoy's interiors. The management has been exceptionally careful in its choice of a staff to properly make the ballroom function and among its personnel will be found many well known and popular members of this community who are all undergoing training now in the proper methods to extend a welcome and insure a joyful evening to all who enter the portals of this ballroom. The Savoy has been thought out carefully and represents the highest ideals of architects' and engineers' skill. Accommodations for the public are, besides being unusually luxurious, of such a nature that provides even modern con- You Can't Beat The Band OR can you beat the other band that will send forth melodies from the opening night on-- Think of it! Two orchestras--two great orchestras playing continuous music from the moment you enter until you depart. Of course there's no other ballroom in Chicago that can boast of TWO ORCHESTRAS. Even if they could--it's a hundred to one there would be some economy in one of the bands. But really and truly--we're going to give you two great orchestras--famous musical units that you've heard about and will want to hear plenty more of. Wait till we announce the names! You may have the blues now--but soon you're going to get the blues--that drive the blues away. When? did you say? WEDNESDAY NIGHT, November 23rd--"Thanksgiving Eve" that's the opening night for a bombardment of pleasure. Get Ready, Get Set and Go to The WORLD'S SMARTEST BALLROOM SAVOU SOUTH PARKWAY at 47th ST. CHICAGO Phone Fagin, Drexel 0871 venience in the most attractive manner imaginable. An ultra modern lounge greets you upon entering with comfortable divans and furniture about much after the fashion of a palatial hotel lobby. Here one can sit idly about and listen to the two orchestras survey their music or watch the dancers guide by. A refreshment room is provided in close proximity to the dance floor also allowing one to eat, drink and still keep his eyes upon the dancers. Everything is on one floor. No climbing & steps nothing out of the way—a cozy comfortable luxurious interior, where one really will find a background that was actually made to order to give him the last word in entertainment. The Savoy Ballroom in New York City cannot compare with the Savoy about to be opened in our city. The management also emphatically declares that no ballroom in any part of the United States can come within miles of this one, in any way, shape or form. Certainly it is a great improvement over what is here today. Even the famous Chicago ballrooms which cater to the whites do not offer two orchestras as a steady diet to their patrons, nor do they excel in beauty, size or scope the Savoy ballroom. Then, considering the low prices of admission now being advertised in this paper, it really looks as though this community has something that can stan. back of all the boasting done. SPARKLING SHOW ON TAP THIS WEEK AT THE MONOGRAM "Why" Husband Ain't" is the name of the production that opened at the Mongram theatre last Monday evening. The show is fast, peppy and good from curtain to curtain. The bill opens with a medley of original airs including, "Honky Tonk Ball," "My Stylish Stepping Girl." The girls are led by Joe Ivory who recently arrived from the east to take the part. Following the opening comes "The Laziest Man," a very funny sketch done by the entire company. It is one of the big hits of the performance. A new and novel sketch. "Down Where the Watermelons Grow" is also a good number and takes well with the crowd. "A Flat For Rent" follows this and goes over with a bang. Susie Sengs sings "Rose Colored Glasses" splendidly and proves a big hit with the patrons. An accompanying dance was another hit. The chorus then comes forth in a fast number and the applause shows just how much class there is to the number. The feature dancing of the show is done by Johnnie Stephens, a real good hoof artist. His steps are unique and admirable. He is also any dancer to his Chicago this year. Clarence Jones Features With Classy Music At Metropolitan The forthcoming engagement of "The Big Parade." King Vidor's picturization of Laurence Stallings' stirring World War story, which plays at the Metropolitan theatre Monday Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, is being much discussed and the opening is awaited with keen interest. Those who have had the advantage of seeing "The Big Parade" in other cities predict that motion pictures will take another forward step with the showing of this production which contains a great love story and abounds in humanity and humor. The theme deals with a phase of the World War, but that mighty theme is handled for the first time into politically nor as a melodramatic spectacle, but as the intimate drama of the individuals who struggled, fought, loved and offered. This method of treating the peronal side of epic event was brought to the fore for the Southern story by "The Birth of a Nation, and for the Eastern locale, it was developed by "Way Down East." In "The Covered Wagon" the fortunes of the Wingate family in their cross-continent pilgrimage formed the exciting interest. Now in "The Big Parade." Stallings and Vidor have a theme enthralling to all Americans in the story of three doughboy muskeeters and a French girl during the American push across the Argonne. John Gilbert, the star, Karl Dane and Tom O'Brien appear as American buddies, while the farmhouse girl, Melisande, is enacted by Renee Adoree, herself a Frenchwoman. In filming the story, Mr. Vidor enjoyed not only the counsel of Stallings (himself a veteran of the Great Events) but also had the ample resources of the big Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer concern, which is presenting the picture. A splendid stage production is being arranged by Manager Matt Taylor. A couple of loop stars are being dickered with and may be signed for the latter part of the week. Saturday will be amateur night and all the kids will be given a chance to contest for honors. Clarence Jones and his brilliant orchestrate continue to hit with classy music. Jazz is featured but the orchestra is just as capable at classical stuff as they demonstrate right in sweet overtures. AT THE VENDOME The Vendome Theatre is offering a classy lot of pictures this week. Thursday, Friday and Saturday Thomas Meighan will be seen at the house in "We Are All Gamblers." This is one of the best pictures Mr. Meighan ever acted in and should draw well. For Sunday the house offers another great photo play with Ken Maynard in the title role entitled "The Gun Gospel!" HAMPTON ISSUES PAMPHLET UPON RECENT STRIKE HAMPTON INSTITUTE, VA. Nov. 2 - The officials of Hampton Institute have issued a pamphlet covering the recent student strike which resulted in the temporary closing of the institution. The pamphlet outlines the situation which led up to the strike and enumerates the results of the demonstration. According to the pamphlet, 52 students were denied readmission to the institution. Of these, five were dismissed, twenty-seven were suspended and ten will not be readmitted for the present. Those dismissed may not return to the institution at this or any subsequent session. It is stated that teachers are now meeting classes as usual and for the most part, the routine of the institution has swing back to normal. The administration has the full support of the alumni and friends of the institution in its position. Object to Lights The immediate cause of the strike, it is pointed out, was the turning on of the lights in Cgden Hall during the showing of the weekly moving picture. This the students objected to on the ground that it was a reflection on their integrity. The students also presented other demands to the board, however. According to the pamphlet, some of these were distinctly noteworthy, some were not of importance, several were impractical and several could not be answered without adequate investigation. Ten of these referred to matters of privilege, such as "recognition" of the student council in its requests to the administrative board, better food in the dining hall, round dancing on special occasions, a calling day for secondary students, better laundered shirts and longer Christmas holidays. The seven complaints with regard to education are characterized as unique in the annals of student strikes, demanding more and better education. It was requested that high school students be allowed to study until 10:30 p. m., that a system of permitted "cuts" be inaugurated, that certain courses be given as outlined in the catalog, that in three of the schools, the educational system be improved; there was general reference to the competency of certain instructors. The leaders declared that the strike was on principles and not personalities. Show Solemn Spirit The board spoke favorably of the manner in which the leaders maintained discipline during the strike and remarked that the whole demonstration had been remarkably free from rowdyism. Mass meetings of the strikers were opened with prayer and no violence was attempted on the buildings or on students out of sympathy with the attack. The pamphlet states in closing that there were no racial alignments apparent in the strike. Colored and Caucasian members of the staff co-operated in excellent fashion to restore order and effect the greatest ultimate good to the institution. Y.M.C.A.NEWS The October membership drive ended on Monday night with Dr. Chas. M. Thompson's plane, "The Spirit of Wabash" safe on French soil. The industrial plant piloted by E. J. Stirman landed in fine shape and with fuel to spare. The other planes came down at sea, although several members of the crews are making desperate efforts to reach the landing site. The drive is especially successful and gratifying from the standpoint of the number of renewals. In spite of pleas of unemployment and tight money the men who know the "Y" program are continuing to support and enjoy it. The effort to build up the membership of Wabash Department does not end with the drive. Both laymen and staff will continue to build up and maintain a capacity membership and more. J. L. Wingate's Y Willing workmen will continue to plan how they may help in this work. The Rev. George A. Singleton, former array chapel, is a part time worker in membership promotion. Paralleling this promotion of memberships, the season's activities are getting underway and before the end of November will be in full stride. The Young Men's Sunday Forum closed a successful series last Sunday when Floyd Hawkins, former state secretary of Kansas, talked on "The Field of the Y. M. C. A." Next Sunday this group will consider the problem "How Character Develops." Prof. E. Burton Johnson o the Chicago Y. M. C. A. College will devote three meetings to discussion of this topic. The division enjoyed two successful events, and end camp took a score of campers out to Camp Wabash Friday night returning Sunday night. The Halloween Party Monday night was a howling success as most of the youngsters testified by their howls of glee during the program of stunts an drifreshments.

MOTHER OF 'ISHMAELITE' JAILED FOR REFUSING TO SEND BOY TO SCHOOL KANSAS CITY, KANS. Nov. 2—Mrs. ltta Scott is in the Wyandotte County jail as a result of refusing to send her 15-year-old son to a school provided for colored children. Her contention is that he is not of the colored race, but is an Ishmaelite. Mrs. Scott refused to allow her son to enroll in school this year. George Minor, Truant Officer, reported the matter to the superintendent and her arrest followed. Before Judge Tucker Wednesday morning, she was 'fined $15. She refused to pay the fine and was remanded to jail. "He is not colored," Mrs. Scott said. "He is an Ishmaelite. Provide a school for the yellow boy and Paul will go there."

The cast has been augmented by some fifty or more prominent Chicagoans and the local coloring is proving a powerful asset. Mr. Belasco has carried out a splendid idea of promotion and is being rewarded nicely. "DIXIANA" COMPANY CLOSED THE GRAND THEATRE, Chicago, last week and moved into Kansas City for a one week stand. This troupe of workers having played the east, are now enroute west and south for a trip of several weeks. Mr. Long, the owner of the show, has gotten together a very nifty bunch and fitted them out with attractive and clean costumes. HALLOWEEN WAS A BIG NIGHT AT THE DREAMLAND Cafe. The large southside cafe was filled to capacity. The young people came rather attractively attired in costumes and danced until the wee hours in the many and glaring colors. Another "red-hot" program is planned for next Thursday evening at which time the regular Show Life dance is to be held. "RANG TANG." MILLER AND LYLES' stage production, has closed temporarily its engagement in New York and this week moved into the Ford theatre, Baltimore, Md. According to Mr. Flourmoy Miller, business manager of the production, the show is leaving New York to await a chance to enter one of the largest theatres in New York. "We are not through with New York," Mr Miller told newspapermen, "but at present there are no available theatres of the type we are looking for, so we decided to leave Broadway until there is one open for us." The show drew to capacity until the final performance in New York. BILL ROBINSON WAS A BIG HIT at the State-Lake theatre where he danced for patrons the past week. Bill is a heavy drawing card here and the theatre was packed at each and every performance during his run here. Robinson is in the west again after several weeks in the east, where he played New York, Boston, Washington and other principal cities in that vicinity. CHILTON AND THOMAS, formr Chicago dancers, were in the loop also this week and scored heavily. This team has not been in these parts since they quit Chicago several months ago. Since leaving Chicago, they become Mr. and Mrs. Maceo Thomas, having married behind the curtains during a performance at Boston several months ago. Following the wedding, the team left the stage and went to Cleveland where they visited the parents of the groom, Dr. and Mrs. Thomas, for several weeks. They are back now and are making up for lost time. They present a dancing act well worth the price of admission. PAUL ASH, LEADER OF THE ORIENTAL orchestra, is leaving next week for Europe to spend several months. Mr. Ash has been continually at it for the past several months, or in fact, almost since the opening of the popular theatre and his friends believe he needs a rest. Ash has made a number of our amateurs into full-fledged professionals and his vacation will be a sad blow to others who had hoped to enter the field at his invitation. MR. MARTIN KLEIN, MANAGER of the Grand theatre, is in Hot Springs, Ark., for a visit of several weeks. Mr. Klein has been in ill-health for the past several weeks and is going in hope of recovery. He will be again active along T. O. B. A. row and the Grand as soon as he is able to return to Chicago. DURING THE ABSENCE OF MR. KLEIN, Mr. Miller, owner of the theatre and his younger son are carrying on the business in the usual capable manner. They have booked some splendid shows into the house, among which is the Irving C. Miller 1928 attraction. Others of equal calibre are coming, which looks like a real program for the Grand from now until the holidays. SPECULATION IS RIFE AS TO the orchestra or orchestra to be chosen for the new Savoy Ball Room, to be located on South Parkway. The dance palace is said to be one of the finest in the world, rivaling the one by the same name and ownership located in Harlem, New York City. The dance hall will be ready for occupancy about Thanksgiving Day it is announced by the company. ERSKINE TATE, DIRECTOR OF THE Vendome orchestra and head of the Vendome club, assisted by "Gentle Jimmy" Gentry, showed Chicago something in the way of Hallowe'en parties last Saturday evening at the Eighth Regiment Armory. The dance was well attended, there being scarcely standing room, not to mention comfortable room for the dancers. But the dance lasted until 2 a.m., and when the crowd started to scatter, the place became a real pleasure. The good music kept some of the dancers stepping along until day all showed its bam. THE THIRD APPEARANCE OF "A PRINCE OF HIS RACE" into the Grand theatre Chicago, the past week, set a record for pictures playing the same house in Chicago. But the decision proved a popular one for the sterling picture by Colored Players' Film was seen by near capacity houses at each appearance. Critics have agreed that this picture was the best all-colored production ever to be released and compared favorably with the best of the Nordic offerings. FAMOUS PLAYERS, A NEWSREEL COMPANY FEATURING COLORED STARS AND athletes, is soon to release its first reel to be run in various theatres about the country. The Metropolitan, Vendome and Grand will in all probability, draw the opening release for Chicago, it was announced the past week, which will be seen here in about two weeks. BESSIE SMITH'S RUN AT THE Lafayette theatre, New York, the past week, is sai dho have set a modern record for the house. Miss Smith is very popular in the east where she has been playing almost continuously for the past several months. She is due west in the very near future however, probably playing the Grand theatre in this city before going into various other towns. CLARENCE E. MUSE is in the state of Ohio this month, playing the various theatres. Mr. Muse has a spicy show kith good singing, fast-stepping dancers and a beauty chorus that take with the audiences. The show recently completed an engagement at the Monogram theatre here where it was a splendid attraction and drew immensely well. THE PLANTATION CAFE, located at Thirty-fifth and Calumet avenue, is doing a splendid business during the closing period of the Sunset, which place is scheduled for an early opening. Both places are owned by Joe Glaser, well known for years as the cafe king. The class of shows being presented at the Plantation rivals well anything ever shown to an audience of a southside gathering. Kearns Threatens To Talk If Pressed On Subject Of Flowers And Mickey Walker Jack Kearns, manager of Mickey Walker making his first statement of "facts" involving the argument between Flowers and Mickey over the question of the status of the middleweight title matter introduces a new angle. Kearns admits he did enter into an agreement for a return match adding with the air of a Kearns, "but certain things have arisen which force me to do a reverse." Kearns says also: "If Miller continues to force the issue I shall explode a bomb that will drive both Flowers and his manager out of the fight racket." It looks like a muddy situation. Kearns says: "I will over any threat made by the foxy Jack Kearns. Miller has an idea that Kearns is finding an easy way out in an effort to protect his charge. Here is what the Tiger Flowers' boss has to say: "Jack Kearns, the perfumed "fox" of the boxing game, has been quoted in public prints recently with an alleged threat that he will expose certain "inside" information in connection with his signed contract for a return match between Walker and Flowers within ninety days after the Chicago flasher, that will bring about the lifetime suspension of both Flowers and myself. Such a threat, if made, is purely 'applesauce;' unfounded and he will no more carry it out than he has his written. I expect to exhaust every effort in my attempt to have Walker suspended by both the National Association and the other states who are not connected and confidently feel that all the commissions will honor our contract and stand for fair play only. I earnestly request and implore 'Dapper Jack' to explode with anything he may think will enable him to protect his so-called world champion, in regard to the making of that contract. It is an open book so far as Flowers and myself are concerned and has been mailed in photostatic form throughout the world as well as being announced publicly before the Walker-Flowers match at Chicago ```markdown ``` REMENDOUS DRAWING CARD in Chicago three weeks.

There is no secret connected with it that I know of and was made solely to protect the interests of Tiger Flowers, against just what did happen at Chicago when Benny Yanger virtually took the world's title unjustly away from Flowers and gave it to Walker. Miller Was Warned "It was warned by more than a hundred close friends not to take the match at Chicago, that I would lose the title, however, feeling that I had the greatest fighter in the world, a fighting champion who surely would so far outclass Walker that it would be impossible to have any funny business pulled, I accepted, but after the rank decision was rendered, I realized that my friends were right, that nothing short of a knockout by Flowers would have saved his title, and even then it's likely he would have lost on a foul. The return match contract was made solely to protect Flowers against unjust treatment from the alleged Kearns combination, which I previously had been warned existed. Good proof of this is the fact that I did not take any precaution when Flowers defended his title before the time allowed by the commissions against the great warrior, the late Harry Greb, who I might wisely add, had soundly thrashed one Mr Walker on a previous occasion, almost knocking him out. Flowers won the title from Greb and I immediately went to his room after the match and offered him a return match which he got and was a second time defeated. This is the problem with Flowers, and myself is all that the contract was made for and is all that I want. If Kearns will put his 'pet champion in the ring as he agreed in a fifteen round match in New York, the public will then have a champion of the middleweight class after the match who will meet all logical contenders and not wait until he is forced to do so or demand such a price from promoters that the match is prohibitive. --- Classified Advertisements FURNISHED APTS.

WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. | Lr ce cneenecneenasl acti Recalled | AMERICANS, 97-1 PER CENT | We always have had a feeling that three aldermen out of fifteen, with personality, and backbone, and the courage of their convictions, could prevent their venal colleagues from taking any action to which they were opposed with any degree of sincerity. Man is usually weak, and sustceptible to the dominating power of courageous determination. Three men with the right behind them, standing together, and fighting shoulder to shoulder for justice, could hardly fail, we believe, to swing enough of the other-twelve over to their side to carry their point. We were therefore somewhat surprised and not a little disappointed when the three colored representatives of Gary’s population in that city’s council allowed themselves to be over- ridden by the force of numbers and voiced what seemed from a distance only a weak and unheeded objectioh to the proposal which advocated sending their children to school in a shed to satisfy the caprices of immature Caucasians. It seemed that the three, heralded as they were as valiant defenders of the faith, had nevertheless shown themselves inadequate in the crisis, and had lacked that power which lifts men up above their prejudices and makes them cast votes totally foreign to the teachings of their fathers. It now appears that two of these three aldermen lacked the desire as well as the ability to block the action on the Proposed segregated high school. We hear disturbing rumors of a black Ku Klux Klan flourishing in Gary, with a member- ship of black 97.1 per cent Americans, whose faith in the justice of Iluxism makes them disinclined to quarrel about the missing 2.9 per cent which is denied them. We are told that the black klan gives secret aid to the white klan in keeping the city government throttled, and that it sits in church at the minister's right. We are told that black men, prominent in business and social circles have in large numbers renounced 2.9 per cent of their identity and cast their lot with the order of the sheet and the holey pillowcase. | This is indeed disquieting news. Segregation, the funda- mental and undeniable principle of the Ku Klux Klan, has! never meant anything to the black American but discrimina- tion. It means that he must be content with what is left over, and that if there is nothing left over, he must be content with that, too. It means that his children must grow up in a piece of a world, hedged about by baffling limits and prohibitions which must necessarily kill their ambition and annihilate their self respect. No harvest of power or gold can ever justify these 97.1 per cent Americans for thus dooming their posterity to a life in prison. | Ancient history tells of one Esau who sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. May the history of the future record the shame of black Americans who would sell their children’s liberty for a scrap of recognition. When you recall the rock-ribbed courage of those Spartans holding a pass against overwhelming odds in the face of certain death or think of the Japanese in their willingness to be carried to certain death riding on the back of a torpedo speeding toward the ships of the enemy we might*treat them as single incidents of unusual bravery. ' We recall within our own ranks insolated cases of fearlessness and self-sacrifice. But when we think of concerted as well as individual courage of groups of men whose joint courage gave birth to nations, carried through successfully revolutions which have made monarchies into re- publics, shattering age-old traditions and serving bonds of cen- sturies, we wonder if the black man has such stuff of which those heroes were made. If there is such courage within our ranks it would have long since stood forth and the bloody mon- ster of lynching, the deadening weight of peonage and all the shackles which bind today would have fallen away. God give us this courage which will make ten million stand forth and say, “Come what may, we shall not lie down to sleep until we have won.” This paper predicted in the spring that rents would fall and that the value of real estate would shoot downward in a short time. To verify this prediction it is only neceseary to observe the vacant flats and homes out south. It is easy te find suitable homes in Chicago now and in the course of time landlords who presist in charging peak results will find that they no longer hold the whip hand. As things now exist the average citizen is compelled to spend one third of his monthly earnings for rent. A terrible} situation, which is sapping the very vitals out of our people. Rents will be slashed in self-protection in the near future.

In the State of Illinois the gradual increase cat be seen. For the State of Illinois, outside of Chicago, the number of fatalities due to this cause was 7,704 in 1926, com. pared with 6947 the year before. Pneumonia formerly looked upon as the “Captain of the man of death” no longer holds first place. Cancer, pneumonia, nephritis, tuberculosis and cerebral hemorrhage slay their annual thousands, but heart disease slays ten of thousands. To tell a person that he or she has heart trouble does not mean that he or she will die soon as heart disease rarely re- sults in sudden death. It is a disabling disease. The greater number of vietims of this affliction pass many months and more oftén many years in poor health, some not knowing their heart is effected. Not infrequently they are seriously handicapped in the range of physicial activity and earning capacity. The prevention of heart disease is yet a problem in the minds of the laymen. They should thoroughly understand that anything that is harmful to the body is also harmful to the heart, If the body fails to get the proper rest the heart works overtime and will soon tire and show the results of the strain. If the body fails to get the proper exercise the heart will also sues Folks just naturally hate to walk, when they can ride and getting hold of an automobile isn’t very difficult. Then the most of the would-be-owners have the monthly installment to worry about¥§ This worry combined with the loss of physical exereise involve in walking, makes a double burden on the heart. Heart disease also results from a number of other causes besides improper habits. Important among these are the re- sults of contageows, venereal and infectious disease. Lack of proper medical care during and immediate following these dis- bases may contribute to heart trouble. 3 y | WEEK’S BEST EDITORIAL ee GINGIER ALE PROHIBITED | rom New York Age) ‘me metropolitan jourzals helve been j under such circumstances be 1 considerably agitated over the| refusal would it only provoke a row of the Supreme, Gout ip snjew the the ensorcement agent and the hhicago night club eases, in whith pad-| _ This Pare ‘attached to the Dpemises suehorties to regulate privabe ‘as punishment for serving gineyer ale, li = chee Soars wey mei doe and glasses to, pairons| mio pane | etfecive measures that might | their ov.

The Board of Health in Chicago has just completed a worthwhile survey of health conditions among the black peopl of Chicago and finds that two people of the black race die te ‘every white person each year in this city. Tuberculosis and [pneumonia are the two chief death-dealing diseases. Because of lack of resistance to the germs of these two contagions many of our people become easy victims. Resistance to disease is built up by wholesome food, cleanliness, light, air and suf- ficient rest. In the tenement district of this city dirt, poor ven- tilation and moonshine destroys health and resistance. While the city is somewhat to blame for this condition it is our opin- ion that educated and more advanced people should interest themselves in the health of their race. Very little thought is given to unfortunates who live in cold water, stove-heated and lamp-lighted apartments. Social service agencies are so busy going to banquets, making speeches and begging for their salaries that they have little time to do any real outstanding ‘good. It is héped that the alarming death rate in Chicagc will be met frankly and squarely by public spirited physicians and citizens who will co-operate with the board of health. Now they claim that our people are members of the “Black Ku Klux Klan” in Indiana. If that is true, and we have seen affidavits in support of the charge, it means that certain black people made the alignment in the hope of political betterment. If it was done as a piece of strategy we could overlook it and perhaps sanction it, but we believe that those have joined in with the Klan have done so as opportunists. There ought to be some principles too sacred to be bartered away.

PRESCOTT, JR. 1. Redistrict the State. 2. The Mitchells Die. 3. The Lesson of the Stars. John B. Fergus has won a deci- sion calling for the re-apportionment of legislative representation through- out the state of Illinois, Judge decision which declared the present Michael Feinberg handed down the Jaw unconstitutional. In_ his -deci- sion the jurist points out that un- jder the terms of the constitution it is mandatory upon the legislature to re-apportion the state every ten years. ‘The great fight re-districting the ;state has come from those counties to the south of Cook County. They have feared that if the state were re-distrieted according to population the county of Cook would have so ‘many representatives aud senators that. Chicago would control all of the legislation of the state. | There is a great deal of truth in the contention of those men who yhail from downstate. For the needs ‘of the whole state are more varied than those of the Saye county of Cook. It probably would not be for |the best interests of the entire state if one county could dominate the legislation of the state. But the fact remains that the constitution pro- vides for this measure of representa- tion however unfortunate its results may be. And as long as it is the law of the state, it should be obeyed and respected. The great trouble is that it is an old American game to respect and enforce only those parts of the law and the constitution as are agree- able, It is true in the enforcement of the federal constitution. It is true in nearly every state of the union where unpopular laws are a part of the code, Tn the case of the eighteenth am- ‘mendment it is sought to have it-en- forced because it seems good politics. In the case of the fourteenth and fifteenth ammendments it is sought to ignore them because their en- forcement does not make for pop- ular favor. But the law should be the law until it is changed. And for his stand in the-enforcement of the letter and the spirit of the constitu tion the presiding judge is to be commended. This will give to the su- preme court an opportunity to force the legislature to obey the law. And the establishment of such a prece- dent will make for a greater respect for the lew and for greater fairness to the county of Cook. rie John J. Mitchell, the great banker. and his wife were killed in an auto- mobile crash out near Libertyville, Illinois, on Saturday last. Both virtu- ally died on the spot. The world mourns their loss. And the surprising thing is the utter sin- cerity back of the regrets which came as the result of their tragedy. The natural question to ask is, “How does it come about that this man of affairs and of millions could become 80 beloved?” And the answer is to be found in the words of a small store keeper who was near unto tears over his death. He said: “Mr. Mitchell was just a fine big man, It didn’t matter whether you had on overalls or not, he received you as a -1an.” That, “hen, is the secret of his success. He was human all through his climb upward. He bore his hon- ors simply and with dignity. This was true not only of hi.nself but of his gracious wife. The Mitchells grew up with their community and helped make their community grow up with them. They never grew too big for the town or the people within it. They were just folks. They carried their honors well and with fitting dignity. They were of the royal cloth yet they never lost the love of average folks. wx Prof. Shapley of Harvard states that the solar system, of which the earth is a part, is over 6,000 light years from the center of the Milky j Way. Light travels six trillion miles a year. "So fhe sun is something like 36 thousand trillions of miles from the center of the Milky Way. It means that the sun is not the center of the universe. It is but a small factor—one of the thousands of mil- lions of stars that go to make “up the Milky Way. And away off to the side. The interesting thing is to note how the mind of man grows. In the beginning man thought himself the ‘centre of the universe—he was an- thropoceniric. Then he believed his own locality the centre—lococentric. But as he developed his universe grew. In the second century, A. D., Ptolemy, the Egyptian, discovered the theory of the planets. But he made the earth the centre of his system. In the 16th century Coper- nicus changed this. He called the sun the centre. Galileo sustained him— ‘and he went to prison for hie pains. Now, after “our centuries, man’s no- tion ‘of the universe again changes. It gets bigger. The sun no longer is the centre. It’s off to the side. The universe is bigger than for 400 years man thought it to be. Now note this. The greater man finds the universe, the smaller he finds himself. There you have it— the, slow growth of education. and evolution. For true education is to know your true size and place against the great things of the uni- (verse. And out of knowing the uni verse comes religion. Because, know- jing, it is to worship its Creator. Fi nally, from this same knowledge of the universe, must come the broth- erhood of man.
