Church Blast Injures Many Politicians SHOT TO DEATH OVER DEBT VANDALS WRECK LOUISVILLE NEWS PLANT The Paper That's Raved At And Raved For Memphis, SHOT VANDALS BOMB MEMPHIS CHURCH; MANY PEOPLE INJURED The speaking was at its height when the blast occurred. The force of it sent debris crashing through the first floor into the basement. Windows were shattered. The occupants of the church were hurled, some of them, into the cellar, while others madly scrambled to the door and were trampled in the effort to get outside. Ambulances, doctors and nurses were rushed to the scene to care for the injured. A tall Caucasian man was reported to have been seen running from the basement of the church just a few minutes before the detonation. ```markdown ``` --- VOL. IX.—No. 47. 3 VICTIMS FOUND NEAR ATLANTA Killings Believed To Have Been Result Of War Of Bootleggers ATLANTA, GA. Nov. 16—Following the anonymous reports that there has been men of color: murder and buried on L. B. Fuller's farm near here, a rigid investigation disclosed the body of a young colored youth buried in a shallow grave there. It is believed to have been the aftermath of a sordid bootlegging transaction, feuds and floggings which have been rampant in this district. The authorities are slowly placing together the tale of the "death farm" which is made up of a thickly wooded land just two miles from the heart of the city. The investigators found another body—the remains of Owens Carruthers buried in a cornfield. This youth, it will be remembered, disappeared mysteriously in July after he had testified in the trial of a Caucasian bootleger. The body was exhumed. A fractured skull was given as the cause of his death. Others Blackjacked John Peck, a victim, reported to the authorities Saturday morning that he and three other men had been beaten severely near where the body of Carruthers was found. Then came the arrest of three men—Thomas Trollinger, a Caucasian tenant; L. B. Fuller, owner of the farm and Will Burkes, an employee. Meanwhile the police are keeping vigil at the farm in an effort to get more witnesses. Others are being questioned at police headquarters and at the county jail. It is not known definitely whether the search for more bodies will be extended or not. It is apparent that much time is being devoted in obtaining evidence for the grand jury before further search is made. KNIFE WIELDER GETS PROBATION After languishing in jail for three weeks awaiting the outcome of the sixty-two-stitch slash she inflicted upon Mary White, 3935 Prairie avenue, Eva Lyles Strong, 3420 1-2 Prairie avenue was placed on probation for one year by judge Francis Borrell. This was made with the provision however, that if she violates the law in the meantime, she will be obliged to spend two years in the correction and pay a fine of $50 and court order. Miss Strong, according to the evidence, became involved in a dispute while she was rooming at Mrs. White's place. She is said to have left the place and then returned for her clothing. It was at this time that the women grappled with each other at the door. In the mule, the landlady was severely cut. There was considerable wrangling in court Monday. Each woman accused the other of intimidation while the case was pending. A sum of $100 was tendered to the woman and woman and the woman promised the court she would pay an additional $50 in three months to cover the entire cost of medical attention.

(Story on Page Seven) Hectic Political Campaign Believed To Have Been Motive For Act MEMPHIS, TENN., Nov. 16—Several persons were seriously hurt Wednesday evening when a bomb, hurled in to the east entrance of the New Prospect Baptist Church, exploded in the midst of 1,000 people gathered there in a political meeting. The bombing is considered to be the outgrowth of a hectic political campaign. The controllers seem to be over the attitude of the colored voters to what facet they intend to join. Pollinators. Watson Overton, candidate for mayor, were conducting the meeting at the time of the explosion. The speaker was in the act, so the reports say, of accusing Mayor Rowette Paine of betraying the trust of the colored voters. The Panic ENEMIES OF THE EDITOR ARE BLAMED Plant Is Wrecked, Thus Forcing Temporary Suspension Of Paper Following an attack on the onces of the Louisville News Tuesday night in which a mob of angry people threw bricks and other missiles through the windows, the news paper suspended publication temporarily, and the editor, William Warley, declared that he no longer represented the colored people of Louisville and in the future he would publish a newspaper and not a colored paper. JOHN H. BROWN Warley made public his position thru an open letter to I. Willis Cole, publisher and editor of the Louisville Leader. "When my own people broke my windows Tuesday night, they also broke my heart," he said in part. "For 20 years I have sought conscientiously to serve the Negro race. If I have been wrong on certain issues, even my enemies must admit I thought I was doing the best thing." Editor Warley called attention to the fact that he had always been to the front when the colored citizens needed a champion. He pointed out that when the segregation law was up before the council of the city, he furnished the case that killed it, not only in Louisville but all over the country. He also pointed to the Bard-Fleming case in which he was the first to make a definite move toward getting the men tried fairly. Very much embittered by the apparent gratitude of those whom he had sought to help, the editor declared that he was "through." "Henceforth the News will be a newspaper—not a colored paper," he declared in closing his letter. BURGLAR HELD ON 30 CHARGES Charged with participation in thirty burglaries and accused by as many complainants who appeared against him Tuesday morning before Judge John F. Haas at the 438th court street, William Conner, 2352 Maypole avenue, was held to the grand jury in bonds totalling Conner's loot included watches, jewelry and cash. He attempted to pawn one watch valued at $200 for $4 at a pawnshop. His depredations covered a period of several months. HENRY. PHILADELPHIA PHILADELPHIA, Pa.

Law And Custom Of Church Abrogated By Bishop's Actions, Claim By Rev. S. E. Maloney The first installment of this article appeared in the Chicago Defender, Nov. 12, 1927. There has not been such a demonstration of his Satanic Majesty in any gathering known to mankind in Church or State. The law and custom of our Church was abrogated, the interests of the members of Conference were not considered. The peace and harmony of the members of African Methodism in Chicago especially and in the world generally, had to suffer because of the ambition of Bishop Gaines to return to the Fourth Episcopal District for another Quadrenium. The petitions from the lay-members for the return of their pastors were trampled under foot and this cark Bishop determined to remove every vestige of anticipated opposition to his personal ambition, enticed into his camp, men of similar ambition in the sphere of appointments in the Chicago Conference, until a ring was formed and plains laid long behind the Annual Conference, to humiliate and to punish the ministers and lay-members who dared to stand for righteousness and equity and the protection of the mor- (Turn to Page 7, Col. 3) NEW YORK.

DENTIST SEEKS A DIVORCE LOS ANGELES, CAL., Nov. 16.—Social and profession circles were stunned recently when the marital rift between Dr. J. Winiford Rout and his wife, Marie Dorothy Rout, was disclosed when he filed suit for divorce on the grounds of cruelty. One of the allegations in the bill states that Mrs. Rout entered his private dental offices on more than one occasion, insulted his patients and raised a general unwarranted disturbance. On one particular occasion, he celebrates, he was performing a very difficult operation when his wife broke into the operating room. Friends of the popular couple assert that they had no knowledge of any difficulty until the bill was filed. Mrs Rout was regarded as one of the most beautiful women of the coast having been a runner-up in a beauty contest conducted by the Western American a newspaper in Oakland. Dr Rout is a prominent dentist here, a graduate of the University of Southern California and a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. 5 IN CHICAGO CENTS PRICE 7 ELSEWHERE CENTS IN CHICAGO—TWELVE PAGES Politicians DEBT --- MADAM EVANTI ASKS COURT FOR WEDDING GIFTS Marital Tangle Shifts From Payment Of Alimony To Household Goods WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 16—Madam Lillian Evanti-Tibbs, internationally known coloratura spruce, has shifted her recent fight for separate maintenance to that of possession of personal property. She asserts that her husband, Roy Wilfred Tibbs, professor of piano and organ at Howard University, has certain pieces of personal property which he has steadfastly refused to turn over to her. They include wedding gifts made by him to her and other articles which they purchased jointly. A Formidable List Enumerated among the vast number of other things is a mahogany table, china dish, silver vase, half-dozen silver spoons, a vocation, a day bed, four Oriental rugs, two oil paintings, a nymph picture, a frieze in three pieces, one bed room suite of eight pieces, a hand carved chair, console table, mirror and an urn. Other articles in the list include two down pillows, three hand-encumbered linen scarfs, a bed spread, a gold flower basket, a fancy trash basket, two candlesticks and a glass vase. Mrs. Tibbs is now residing at 190 Vermont street, northwest. She is receiving $100 per month for her maintenance. Mrs. Tibbs charged her busband with desertion. MURDERER FLEES FROM THE SCENE Victim Of Debt Argument Drops On Street As He Pursues Killer POLICE HUNT ASSAILANT Theory Is That Slayer Is Being Hidden By Friends Henry Thomas, 3006 Ellis avenue, was shot and killed during an argument with a man known as "Pike" at 3048 Lake Park avenue, 1 o'clock Sunday morning. His death was marked as unusual because he was shot in the arm. He expired in the Michael Reese "Pike." whose other name officers believe is Luther Mitchell escaped the police net which was spread over the district immediately after the shooting was reported. Argue Over Money Mollie Young, Rose Young, Harvey Potts, Granville Jackson were all taken to the station and questioned. Very little of the details of the shooting was obtained because of the fact that the two men were said to have conducted a more or less private argument. However, as it continued, it grew more apparent that finally the entire little basement flat was in turmoil. Some mention was made of money, witnesses said, but not fully stated. Rescued In Street The fact that Thomas was rescued in 3010 Ellis avenue, bears out the conjecture that a vicious battle was waged by the two men. Thomas had determined evidently to give chase to his adversary but fell exhausted from the effects of his wound. It was from here that he was rushed to the Michael Reese hospital. By the time he had been the great loss of blood, but not to the extent that would cause an alarm. He died a short, after, however. Search For Slayer Meanwhile the police of the Cottage Grover station are making a thorough search of the district for "Pike" who is well known. The theory of the police is that he is still in hiding, being harbored in a rendezvous of one of his friends. It is only a matter of time they say until he is captured. WIFE'S 'FRIEND' KILLED BY MEDIC NASHVILLE, TENN., Nov. 16.—Samuel Baldwin, well known chiroptodist of this city was shot and killed Tuesday reports declare, by Dr. L. L. Fisher, member of the Meharry Medical College faculty when the latter found the man in company with his wife in a closed car in the "Kayne district"—12th and Ivy streets of this city. Dr. Fisher is said to have received information that Mrs. Fisher had gone there with Baldwin. He followed and as he opened the door of the car, Baldwin helped from the machine as theote baldwon poured a leaden shower at him. The enraged doctor then took his wife home and witnesses say he would have killed her there on the spot but he ran out of ammunition. PAGE TWO WOMAN CARRIES BOX OF EVIDENCE AGAINST PASTOR Says She Is Seeking Justice Not Revenge In $100,000 Heart Balm Suit NEWARK, N. J., Nov. 16—"I am not seeking vengeance, but justice" declared Mrs. Alice Laurie McDonald, 120 Littleton avenue, commenting on her $100,000 heart balm suit soon to come to trial against the Rev. Charles A. Tindley, well known Philadelphia pastor. "Too many men, and especially ministers," she continued, "are wronging women whom they profess to lead and I am determined to make an example of this one for the sake of other women who do not have as strong a case against their traduccers as I have. I am a Christian woman and I wouldn't harm anybody, but when a man comes into my life without my asking and wrecks it, I think I should do something about it. I did not believe Rev. Tindley was married, even after he said so, but when he brings his wife to Philadelphia and she brazenly says my case is nothing but toolfulness, think it does to show how important he is to him, to care for his wife, for I believe he told her the same thing he told me. He simply thought my love for him was so great I would bear it all without a word, but I will show him I love the courage, to seek vindication. Money Secondary "It is not money that I want, but vindication. There are some things between Rev. Tindley and I which I can't explain now, but they will come out in court. I am sorry to seem to be flaunting myself before the public, but if it takes that to get justice, then I will do it." Mrs. McDonald has a steel box of ardent love notes from the pastor to her. She has placed this box in the hands of her attorney and is rather reticent concerning the exact nature of its contents. From hints, however, it is gathered that the box contains some damaging evidence against the pastor. Mrs. McDonald not only kept the letters from the pastor to her, but also retained copies of her letters to him. Thus she on hand both sides of the courtship Mother Makes Statement Mrs. Laurie, the 71-year-old mother of Mrs. McDonald, who lives with her daughter, said Rev. Tindley sat at their breakfast table and told her he loved her daughter and would make her happy. She says she doubted him and told him so, but he declared he meant what he said. Mrs. McDonald said she told Rev. Tindley in one of her letters: "The public has placed you on a high pedestal, but the day you wrong me the crash will come." On reaching Philadelphia she will have the letters tabulated and prepared for exhibits in court. "The preachers are worried about this fear," said Mrs. McDonald. "They fear the effects on the ministry. I tell them this suit involves only Rev. Tindley and myself, but I fear the same thing is true of a lot of them."

PRIEST IS CENSORED AGAIN WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 16—Members of the Cardinal Gibbons Cha Members of the Cardinal Gibbons Charity club met Tuesday evening in a special meeting and again condemned the recent statements of the Rev. Father Cornelius J. Dacey, made in the pulpit of his church Oct. 16, to members of the St. Augustine and Holy Redeemer parishes. It will be remembered that members of these parishes are for the most part, people of color. It is alleged that upon seeing members of these two parishes in St. Paul parish, mainly Caucasian, the reverend declared that they should not attend there but should support their own places of worship. In this meeting, it was reiterated that it appeared as though Father Dacey's desire was to foster some kind of segregation, contrary, members say, to the Catholic practices. A written document showing their resentment to his assertions, will be submitted to him, it was reported. Meanwhile an explanation from the reverend father relative to his assertions in his pulpit was to the effect that he made no reference to race or religion, he thought all Catholics should attend the church where they belong.

H. Chapman and Commonwealth Attorney George F. Whitley, who together peaceably and without bloomed injury, or arrest of anybody, frustrated an attempt to Lynch Shirley Winnegan, here four or five weeks ago, were defeated for re-election after having been nominated in the August primary. Their defeate was presumably on account of their action in the Winnegan case. Both men have served in their offices for a number of years, and both were nominated in the primary with ease. Whitley had no opposition and Sheriff Chapman was nominated by a vote of 1031 to 137. The newly elected commonwealth attorney is A. E. S. Stephens, a young attorney of this city, and W. Colgate Whitehead is the new sheriff. The names of these two men did not appear on the ballot but were written in. This action was determined by a citizens mass meeting a few days before the occurrence of the Winnnean case. Chapman received 490 votes against 583 for Whitehead and Whitley received 537 votes against 554 for Stephens. Winner Refuses Service Before the election, when informed that citizens were planning to write his name into the ballot, Stephens declared that he would not be a candidate and would not serve if elected. He affirmed this statement when informed of his election. The crime which Shirley Winnegan was alleged to have committed occurred on October 14. A young girl was found on that day brutally murdered after having been assaulted. Winnegan was later arrested and charged with the crime. He was lodged in the Smithfield jail but when mob violence was threatened, he was removed to the Pete's Corner jail. He was this and started to that city to take the prisoner. Petersburg authorities were notified of their intention and the prisoners was transferred to Richmond. Incensed because of the frustration of their plans the citizens called a mass meeting and determined to defeat the officers who had thwarted them. JAPANESE CHILDREN LIKE OLD AMERICAN TUNES; COLD TO JAZZ TOFIO, Nov. 16-Although the children of Japan show a liking for the old American patriotic and folk tunes, they seem to be unable to find any attraction in modern American jazz music. An American tourist strolling through the streets of Tokyo was amazed to hear the stirring strains of the famous old war song "Marching Through Georgia." Investigation revealed that two young Japanese schoolboys were whistling the tune so accurately as not to miss a single note. The younger generation of Japanese are especially well acquainted with most of the American song, learning them from the radio and the phonograph. The American national anthem and those of other nations are taught in the public schools. Modern American jazz has not made any particular appeal to the school children of Japan. They have been reared on patriotic songs and the old American tunes are most attractive to them. Most of the British, French and German songs are unknown but one can go almost any plac on the empire and hear "My Old Kentucky. Home." "Swanee River," "Home Sweet Home" and other such American tunes "Home Sweet Home" is apparently the favorite. The boys and girls do not know all the words to this classic but they can all whistle and hum the tune.

C., Nov. 18—The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia ruled Monday that James Blevins must return to Alabama and stand trial on a charge of assault with intent to commit murder. Blevins was arrested upon a requisition from the governor of Alabama. A hearing was arranged before Chief Justice McCoy, who ordered Blevins turned over to the southern officers. A writ nihabes corpus was issued. Then the judge took counsel for defense contending that five errors had been made. The Ruling The Court of Appeals held that it was not necessary for the indictment to state when the offense was committed, but that it is sufficient to show that the fugitive has been charged, with crime in the state fm which he fled. The question of whether an offense is extraditable, the court held, is not open to inquiry in habeas corpus proceedings. Counsel for elevians had contended that he was not guilty of an extraditable offense. The court dismissed the contention that the indictment was a part of a conspiracy to collect a debt. It held that the question of whether the proceedings were instituted by improper motives will not be considered in habeas corpus proceedings. The claim that the indictment is invalid because the grand jury that returned it was composed of white men, must be addressed to the court of the jurisdiction in which the indictment was found, the Court of Appeals held. The court declared that there is nothing in the record to indicate that Bevins will not be accorded his constitutional rights when brought to trial. Counsel for Bevins contended that Chief Justice McCoy should have held that prejudice against colored people in Alabama is so great that Bevins would not be accorded a fair trial if returned to the state.

A bronze medal was given to the widow of Edward Mitchell, Capahois, Va., and $55 a month and $5 additional for each of two children. Mitchell died trying to save a boy from a high-voltage wire at Cambria, Va., July 10, 1925. Luke Erwin, Tyler, Tex., was awarded a bronze medal for saving a farmer from suffocating in a well at Ringgold, Ga., September 11, 1925. TEXAS SHRINERS SEEK AN APPEAL WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 16.—The colored Shriners of Texas through their attorneys, S. A. T. Watkins and James E. White of Chicago, filed a supplemental brief in the Supreme court of the United States Saturday in support of their appeal to set aside the decision of the Texas courts enjoining them from using the name, emblems and insignia of the Order of the Mystic Shrine. This brief asserts that the Caucasian Shriners have been guilty of laches. The colored Shrine had existed in the state of Texas for 25 years and the lawyers contend that Caucasian organization has lost its right to object through its long delay. The statute of limitations of Texas provides that every action other than for the recovery of real estate must be brought within four years.

RENOWNED HERB DOCTOR JAILED IN MISSISSIPPI Officers Find Crowd Of 200 Claimoring To Enter Back Woods Shack JACKSON, MISS., Nov. 16—The startling career of a colored faith-healer's life in the backwoods in Mississippi came to light recently when Dr. Samuel Redmond, known throughout the secluded territory as the "Indian Miracle Man," was taken in custody by the county authorities of Covington County Wednesday, at the installation of the county health officer. Tales of Dr. Redmond's enormous power came to light in the isolated wooded section of the county led to an investigation by the health authorities He was taken in custody at Wood Greek derwood, state health officer and gave bond immediately. Shack Surrounded The health officials reported that when they visited the herb doctor's headquarters, they found an ill-kill shack with a horde of about two hundred people clamoring to gain entrance presumably for treatment. Meanwhile, the complainant declared he would have a complaint filed for examination and be bound over to the grand jury immediately. This body will not meet however, until January. In all probability, Redmond will waive NAB 1 OF 4 HOLDUP MEN After a wild chase up an alley between 36th and 35th street late Monday night, Willie Ivory, 3831 Federal street, wanted as one of the four men who helped holdup Joe Healey as he passed by the dark corner at 35th and Wabash avenue a few minutes before, succeeding in eluding Officers DeMay and Schlosser.

ARGUMENT OVER FIVE CENTS COSTS MAN FIVE DOLLARS IN COURT BALTIMORE, MD, Nov. 16—An argument over five cents cost George Savage, 716 Mulberry street, just five dollars when he was arraigned before the court at the Northwestern police station Monday. Savage, the evidence showed, strolled into Dr. M. Hoover's drug store across from the station and asked for a Bromo Seltzer. He drank it with an air of satisfaction and then asked: "How much? "Ten cents," was the reply. "That's too much; I pay only a nickel for this drink." Then the scene suddenly shifted to the courtroom across the street. Savage told the judge that it was his habit to pay only five cents for a Bromo Seltzer and that he did not intend to change because of the drug clerk's demand for the additional nickel. "We'll arrange it nicely," replied the curt. You can just pay the five right here, but it will be five dollars for creating the disturbance. FLOGGERS FREED AFTER THEY ARE IDENTIFIED PULASIKI TENN.

VOTE CONDITION IN THE SOUTH TO BE FULLY PROBED Supporters Of Smith And Vare Plan To Hit Back At Southern Democrats WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 16.—Preparing for the impending fight over the seating of Senators-elect William S. Vare of Pennsylvania and Frank L. Smith of Illinois, an exhaustive probe into the disfranchisement practices in the southern states is under contemplation. The Republican supporters of Vare and Smith already have their agents at work collecting evidence to show the extent to which the letter and spirit of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments are being violated in the south. This evidence is to be used primarily to coerce southern democrats into withdrawing from the opposition to Vare and Smith, but it also may aid incidentally in rescuing the stolen vote of the black man in the south. Question Right of Congress Question Right to Congress The opposition to the seating of Vare and Smith is based entirely upon the larger states which spent i n the Pennsylvania and Illinois primaries. It is claimed that the primary is an integral part of the election and that Congress therefore has a right to regulate it. Republican senators who favor the seating of the two men declare that if Congress has the right to regulate the primaries in Illinois and Pennsylvania, it has also the right to regulate the notorious "white primaries" in many of the southern states, which are closed to black voters. An analysis of election returns from southern states made by Senator David A. Reed, Republican of Pennsylvania, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Senator from these states won their elections with a vote of less than two per cent of the population of their states. Typical examples are cited in the Doctor Found Women and Children Sick More Often than Men Doctor Found Women and Children Sick More Often than Men cases of Senator Ellison D. Smith, democrat, of South Carolina and Senator Thomas H. Caraway, democrat of Arkansas. Senator Smith was elected in 1926 with a total of only 14,5000 votes Doctor Found and Children More Of 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 Pepsin, 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 movies 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. Dealing cast for him. This si less than one per cent of the population of his state, whose estimated population at the time, based upon the federal census of 1920 was 1,826,021. Women n Sick ften than Men Y. P. CARDWELL M.D. AT AGE 83 While women, children and elderly people are especially benefited by Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, it is promptly effective on the most robust constitution and in the most obstinate cases. It is mild and gentle in its action and does not cause gripping and strain. Containing neither opiates nor narcotics, it is safe for the tiniest baby. Children like it and take it willingly. Every drug store sells Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Keep a bottle in your home, — where many live someone is sure to need it quickly. We glad to have you prove at our expense how much Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can mean to you and yours. Just write "Syrup Pepsin," Monticello, Illinois, and we will send you prepaid a FREE SAMPLE BOTTLE. --- THE CHICAGO WHIP: SATURDAY, NQVEMBER 19, 1927.

Nov. 16—When informed that the management of one of his restaurants refused to serve a hungry colored customer, Louis G. Baurle, proprietor of restaurants operated in the Reading Terminal discharged the whole crew, there, then remained closed for two days until he could obtain a crew that carried out his orders. The identity of the colored patron was not made known. He is said to have entered the place after alighting from a train. When he seated himself and made ready to order something to eat, he was informed by the waiter that he could not be served because of his color. Refused By Manager The prospective customer then appealed to the manager and was again turned down. Miss Smith, Mr. Baurle's secretary, was the next one confronted by the man. Mr. Baurle was at home at the time. Informed of what had taken place, he asked the man the order to "fire the whole crew and close the place until we can get another crew." And to make matters worse, Mr. GARY PREP SCHOOL TILT IS NOT PROPAGANDA WHICH CAUSED STRIKE GARY, IND, Nov. 16—Froebel high school scored its first gridiron victory in nine yearsover its ancient rival, Emmerson high school when the latter was trampled to a 22-14 defeat Saturday. The defeat of the erstwhile Hoosier pre football rulers endes a six year record of having been uncrested by an Indiana team. There were seven colored boys on the Froebel high school squad when they took the field Saturday. The four varsity men, Len Douglas, 1815 Madison street; Ralph Harris, 1915 Carolina street; Elsa Odell, 2444 Fillmore street and dWiliam Exum, 1983 Connecticut avenue, figured largely in the Froebel victory. As anticipated by officials, there was no dissension shown against the colored players by the Emmerson high squad despite the attitude declared to have originated among the students themselves which led to a strike at that school because of the presence of 24 colored students. Baurle was unable to get another crew for two or three days, but the place remained closed and he continued to lose money rather than re-employ those who had insulted the man. "I don't think that it's worth writing about," said Mr. Baurle when questioned by two reporters who had heard of the insident through Mr. Edmund should feel that way about such things. What has a man's color got to do with his rights and privileges? I'll always serve colored people as long as they conduct themselves as anybody else." THE CHICAGO WHIP: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1927.

Seek Mother and Son Following Klan Threat To Seize Property MONTGOMERY, ALA., Nov. 16- Special) While the agitation against the glaring brutalities of the Ku Klux Klan are causing many of the best families in many parts of the south to war against it, it was disclosed here recently that Abe Jackson, a prosperous farmer of Colbert County, and his mother were ordered t oleave their home by November 1. Jackson and his mother stoutly refused, declaring that they had spent a life time acquiring the little home-stead and an income on crops which netted them a good living.

Protection was sent right away to the pair, but when officers arrived, the little homestead was vacant and the whereabouts of the Jackson family unknown.

And Perplexed With Some Problem Threaten If I So, Hilda Holly Will Give You Confidential Advice Thru This Column. Medium Size Eyes DEAR MISS HOLLY: I am a constant reader of your column; knowing you have come to the rescue of others. I am sure that you can help me. To give you a clue to my identity: I am a young college student about twenty years old, light-brownskin, comparatively good hair and weigh one hundred fifty pounds. I have medium sized eyes, very friendly and am neat in appearance. I would like to meet a young lady y about my age, one who is a businesslike lady, or a nurse or a student, either of the three, because I would be very interested as I am sure they are trying to be something of note and credit to themselves. Thanking you in advance for any of these you may select for me. Yours truly. —Anxious. Chicago I shall be very glad to aid you as much as I possibly can. I think you have good reason for wishing to meet the types of young women you mention, for generally, ambitious folks have strong characters and that is a much desire equality. As soon as I know some of the girls, I will write you. Feels Like Crying DEAR MISS HOLLY: Nearly all the boys I go with are always insisting that I kiss them; they know that I am going to refuse them and that is why, I think, they worry me all but to death. They call me "Miss I rude" and tease me in all sorts of ways until I feel like crying sometimes. Sometimes I wonder if I will lose the friendship of my boy friends by my actions; then on the other hand, I don't see how I could be kissing all of them all the time like other girls, because I just don't like to. Lots of boys I think a lot of as friends, whom I wouldn't kiss to save me. What attitude would you suggest to me, to stop my friends from always wanting to "mush around?" I have a pleasant disposition and am so often misunderstood by new friends. I will appreciate your help in this very much. I had a letter similar to yours last week that I answered personally, but I am very glad to be able to answer yours right through the column for who might profit from what I am going to suggest. You know that a man is a natural born hunter, and right here I have explained to you why they continue to ask you for kisses. You see, you refuse them and that makes them continue their quest all the more zealously. I wouldn't let them effect me to the point of worry if I were you and there is a little manner you might employ which may prove effective. From your letter I take it that you have lots of personality; that is one reason the boys like your company so well. Now use your personality in refusing them liberties. By that, I mean, answer them vaguely, probably by saying "Not today," or "some ning. News of the Clubs Don't Wake Me Up Just Let Me...

As a result of winning this honor, Attorney Prescott's photograph along with his prize winning letter and a brief sketch of his life, will appear in the December 1st issue of "The Lawyer and Student," a publication which has a circulation of more than 100,000 and which goes to all of the Supreme court judges in the United States, to all members of the faculty of all law schools, to all students studying law in the United States and to a large number of the members of the bar. Its circulation, in fact, carries it to practically every city, town, village, and hamlet in the United States. Valued At $500 Corpus Juris-Cyc is an up-to-date compilation of the law which is revised and annotated from year to year. The set contains 70 volumes and costs about $500 new.

He then goes on to answer the second question by showing that because of its completeness, Corpus Juris-Cye is indispensable to the successful lawyer. Attorney Prescott's prize set will be ready for shipment soon, the president, C. W. Dumont, stated in his letter. 'FRIEND' SHOOTS GIRL TO DEATH BALTIMORE, MD. Nov. 16—Neighbors in the vicinity of 912 Shields street were in an uproar early Saturday morning when Lizza Turner, 26, was shot to death. "Slim" alias Will an employee of the Sheppard-Pratt hospital, is being sought by the police as the murderer. The police learned from Miss Blanche Smith, who lives at the same address, that the young woman was ironing when the report of a gun was heard and Slim is said to have rushed from the house exclaiming: "Lizzie, it was an accident." The wounded girl was rushed to the Colonial hospital in an ambulance where she was pronounced dead. She had been shot several times in the head. Her assailant is described as being a man of about 28 or 30 years old, five feet ten inches tall, 160 pounds in weight, dark, with smooth face and two gold upper molars. At the time of his escape he was wearing a mixed colored suit, blue shirt and light cap.

OFFICER GOING TO MURDER SCENE STOPS ANOTHER Gun Carrier Tells His Story But Judge Metes Out Term Of 6 Months The timely arrival of Officer Fauntleroy prevented a probable murder near where one had just been committed an hour before, resulting in the arrest of Earl Boyd. 3002 Ellis avenue and Everett Wilson. 3008 Ellis avenue at 2:06 a.m. Sunday. The following morning when arraigned before Judge Francis Borrelli at Pekin Court, Wilson was sentenced to six months in the House of Correction and fined $50 and costs. Boyd was discharged. Wilson and Boyd were hurrying down the street, the officer said, as he was going to his assignment — the home of a man who was suspected of killing another a few minutes before on Lake Park avenue. They were arguing and stoning the officer when the officer approached them. They were searched and a pistol already cocked was found in Wilson's overcast pocket. All Over Fifty Cents Wilson told Judge Borrelli that he had borrowed fifty cents for car fare from Boyd's wife during the week. He admitted that he had been delinquent in returning the loan and stated that when he called at the house Boyd demanded of him that he "pay my old lady that fifty cents." An argument took place during which time Wilson claimed Boyd took a gun from his blouse. "Your honor, I grabbed the gun before he could shoot me and then broke and run with it. I intended to give it to Jones to give to Boyd's friend who would give it to him, because I knew he was still mad and I personally want to hurt him. But then I broke and ran, he followed me and caught me just as he reached us." was Wilson's explanation of what had transpired. Boyd denied that he had the gun on his person. He said it was lying in a table drawer when the fray began. YOUNG SUSPECT GIVEN $50 FINE CLAIMS BISHOP WAS UNFAIR IN CHURCH VOTING CLAIMS BISHOP WAS UNFAIR IN CHURCH VOTING Law And Custom Of Church Abrogated By Bishop's Actions, Claim (Continued From Page 1) ale of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, especially in Chicago. From the opening session of the Annual Conference at Evanston on Wednesday morning, September 21, on through the days of Conference, every one felt the presence of the evil spirit. The peace and harmony that generally prevail in our Annual Conferences were altogether smothered in the Chicago Conference at this session. Czarism took the place of fatherly conduct and kind consideration; spite and destruction exercised the action of very detrimental forces, out of our father's throat to protect their personal interests and the peace and tranquility of our beloved Zion was turned into confusion to gratify the schemes and plots of this ambitions tyrant. Day after day, each session, intensified by the anxiety of a large portion of the members of the Conference, ministers as well as lay-members, knowing what had transpired in the election (?) of delegates to the ensuing General Conference anticipated what would likely take place in the assignment of pastors to the various charges in the Conference. Unrest prevailed; the spirit of disharmony stalked itself in every arrangement. Distrust and malice were expressed by the pastors, until pandemic broke loose the closing session when the appointments were being given. A large concoce of people gathered in the spacious assembly hall of the Evanston High School that seats 3,000, until every available seat was taken. Extra chairs were brought in; standing room was at a premium and hundreds were turned away because of no room. All of this to witness the diabolical action of an ambitious tyrant in creating confusion and destruction irreparable. Women became frantic, men pulled revolvers and rushed to the platform determined to wreck physical vengeance on this destroyer of righteousness and evil that will kill beloved Conference as so eloquent without belief. Diction. Thus ended the most destructive and confused Conference ever held in the history of our Beloved Church. What could anyone expect, from a man like Bishop Gaines, clothed with the power of a Bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, but that he would, for the graftification of his ambition, remove all anticipated hindrances in his way without consideration of the men who had given their years of faithful service? Why should he care for service or merit, or the peace and tranquility of the members of the Chicago Conference? Why should he care for the wishes and feelings of the loyal lay-members of the Chicago Annual Conference? Why should he care for our beautiful church at Gary — if by removing the pastor it would create confusion and constatation and a split that has driven away over three hundred of its members into an independent organization, criticising and ridiculing the African Methodist Episcopal Church as represented by this tyrant? Why should he care for the split that should take place at Wayman, if the requests by petition of the majority of their officers and members for the denied? What would it matter if the officers and members of the Quinn loyal and peaceable, the pride of African Methodism in Chicago, with an enviable record of keeping each pastor five years and sending up a report to the Annual Conference overflowing in all requirements and asking for the return of their pastor, should be flatly denied and incensed to a revolt because one of the Bishop's chenchmen wanted the appointment? What if all the ministers and lay-members of Chicago, outside of Bishop Gaines' "tools" should criticise and ridicule his actin in his conduct of the business of the Conference so long as the ambition of this czar of African Methodism is gratified? The cause of Bishop Gaines' unrighteous and unjust dealing in the appointment of ministers of the Chicago and Northwestern Conferences, is his insatiable desire to be returned as Bishop of the Fourth Episcopal District. Up to the present, no wheel has been left unturned, no opposition has gone unnoticed, no unlawful practice but has been winked at, so that the Tyrant's plots and plans should be carried into effect. WOMAN SHOOTS PROWLER William Davis, 3159 Federal street, is in the Provident hospital, suffering from a gunshot wound in the leg, inflicted by Beatrice Williams, 2941 Indiana avenue Sunday night.

MAN TAKES TROUBLE TO COURT AS THIEF; JUDGE ORDERS THEM BOTH OUT in the middle of the call at Pekin court Monday morning there was considerable difficulty in getting anyone to respond. Finally the silence was probable. "I am Trouble," replied a dejected looking young woman as she walked up to the bar. "Whose trouble?" queried the court. "I am — me, I." Then the complainant, Leroy Anderson, 2117 Walnut street, verified the statement by declaring to the court that the woman was the same Roumania Trouble who fleeced him out of $35 Sunday night in her apartment at 3203 Calumet avenue. "I gave her $2 judge, to help her along; then when I started to leave I found that I had been robbed of the rest of my $37.50." "But your honor, judge, he has given me money before and said that some day he would marry me," said the girl. The court ordered Anderson and Trouble to leave at once and not to come back again. MINISTER WHOSE WIFE SLEW SELF HITS AT GOSSIP Denies Infidelity, Says Her Weakened Mental Condition Was Due To Unpaid Bills PHILADELPHIA, PA. Nov. 16. "They are lies, lies, lies!" declared Rev. E. W. Johnson, pastor of the St. Paul Baptist church, 10th and Wallace streets, when informed of nasty rumors which have gained circulation charging that his infidelity to his wife, Mrs. Anna Johnson, had unbalanced her mind and led her to take her life a short time ago. For corroboration he called into his study his son Edward, Jr., and his son-in-law, Joseph Logan. They both believed that they knew of no trouble between the pastor and his wif. The son said that his mother and father loved each other to a degree that was out of the ordinary. Denies Suicide Attempt The Rev. Mr. Johnson also denied the story that two or three years ago his wife attempted to hang herself in the cellar for the house and was prevented only by the son-in-law, who was attracted by a light in the cellar as he was about to leave for work early in the morn'. 'Why, it's foolish, and I wish that I knew who put that story out,' declared the son. Mrs. Johnson committed suicide a few weeks ago by shooting herself in the head. Mental derangement from what was said to have led to the suicide. The funeral was very largely attended, fully 5,000 people jamming the church and many others being turned away. Services were in charge of the Rev. Charles Blackwell. HOLD WOMAN FOR MURDER IN OKLA. MUSKOGEE, OKLA.. Nov. 16—At the preliminary hearing held in the city court Thursday, Jewell Carrick was held without bond on a charge of murder in connection with the death of Henry Ausler, who was killed Oct. 30. Testimony disclosed that on the night of the murder the young woman entered Ausler's soft drink stand on N. Second street and demanded a knife. Ausler refused her, stating he would give it to her the following day. Jewell is said to have left the place. Later she sprang from ambush and attempted his life. Incomplete evidence showed that he tried to run but stumbled and fell. He scrambled to his feet again and proceeded down the street with Miss Carrick in pursuit. A few hours later his body was found lying on Lombard street, with several stab wounds in it. None of the witnesses would say that they saw the man stabbed by the woman.

CIVIL WAR VET HALTS 'CON' MAN BALTIMORE, MD., Nov. 16—Sam Jones of Charlotte, N.C. was to the grand jury under $1,000 bond Saturday on complaint of having been the operator of a confidence game. The complaint was filed by Washington Johnson, a Civil War veteran, 839 Harle mavenue. Jones was arrested by Sergt. Smith of the Northwestern district station Friday when he was about to pull the last part of the old pocketbook game stunt upon the aged soldier. The day before his arrest, he accosted Johnson in a park and asked where the nearest church was located. As he was being directed down a drive in a machine and volunteered the information that he had found $500. He said he was afraid the two men would tell on him so he would divide up the money e: soon as he got some change. It finally wound up by the veteran letting them have a dollar and promising his pension check the next day. But when they met the next day, the policeman was there. WIFE WOULD DIE; HUSBAND RAVES BALTIMORE, MD. Nov. 16—Answering a hurry call for an ambulance, police rushed to 1816 Hampson street last Wednesday and found Mrs. Della Hairstone suffering from the effects of iodine which she had swallowed with suicidal intent. Before Mrs. Hairstone could be removed to the hospital, her husband, Candy Hairstone, galloped upon the scene, cursed the officers and ordered them to let his wife die. The officers finally got the woman away from the house but not until they had put the husband in the ambulance also. At Colonial hospital, Hairstone continued to be abusive. Mrs. Hairstone was given treatment and sent back home, but Hairstone was arrestea. He was brought before the judge at the Northwestern court Thursday morning.

For Classified and Want Ads Telephone The Chicago Whip CALUMET 1830 PAGE SEVEN LEADER OF DRUG BURGLAR GANG GETS PROBATION Confesses Guilt After He Faces Long Term In The Workhouse Henry Nichols, 611 E. 45th street, was placed on one year probation by Judge Francis Borrelli Saturday at the Pekin Inn court after confessing that he gave two other accomplices toilet articles and another small piece of stock from the Back and Rayner drug store. Johnson Anderson, 611 E. 33rd street, and William Williams, 3742 South Park-way were also placed on probation. The feature of the trial was Nichol's role of an innocent martyr. The other men pleaded guilty to the charge. It was through one of the accomplices, it was learned later, that the trio was nabbed at their rendezvous, 3216 State street. Sentenced Once All of the evidence was submitted and sentence was about to be imposed upon Nichols when the jurist offered him five minutes to think it over. The case was passed and back to the bar the three defendants came. Attorney for the defendant Nichols, George W. Blackwell, informed the court that his client had nothing further to add and would not plead guilty to a charge of which he was not guilty just to escape a prison term. The plea was a pitiful but not insurmountable that he was familiar with cases of that nature and that he was about to impose a sentence upon Nichols of six months in the house of correction. A whimper was heard from Nichols. Finally Confesses "Judge, I knew they got it," he said. "Whehe! that was a long time coming out. You gave them some of the goods didn't you?" asked the judge. "Why didn't you say so at first. Remember, young man, don't ever lie in court. It makes it difficult for you, you'll find" was the jurist's advice. Then came the order for probation to take the place of the half year sentence. This was based upon Nichol's previous good character and the fact that he is or was a church member. The Clue From the testimony of John Anderson it was gleaned that he was the first one of the trio to have become disgruntled. He intimated that the cause for this attitude was that he had not been dealt with squarely by Nichols. One intance he said, they made away with costly toilet articles on Sunday morning. Williams took it in a suitcase to 3216 State street, where the three were to divide it. When he arrived, however, he was told by Nichols that there was no share for him. All of the men were porters and had been employed by the drug company for a period of four or more years. WIFE SHOOTS AT HUSBAND4TIMES LOS ANGELES, CALIF. Nov. 16—In a fit of hysteria occasioned by a domestic quarrel, Mrs. Annie Brown, wife of James F. Brown, proprietor of the filling station at Newton street and Central avenue, attacked her husband with a revolver here last week and fired at him four times. According to the story told by Brown, his sister-in-law called him up on the night of the shooting and told him that his wife was on her way down to his place of business with a good sized revolver on her person. He had hardly turned away from the telephone, he declared, when his wife drove up before the station, leaped from the car and opened fire on him. He rushed toward her and by the time the fourth shot had been fired was able to overpower her. The police in the meantime had arrived and Mrs. Brown was taken into custody. Brown was unhurt except for a slight graze of his arm by a bullet. FORMER ROOMER ATTACKS WOMAN Police are searching for a man by the name of Logan Colbert, address unknown, who Friday evening at 7 o'clock attacked Maud Brown. 35 years old, 4604 Prairie avenue at her home, crimi- nally assaulted her and struck her over the head with a blunt instrument. Mrs. Brown sustained a laceration or the top of her head but it was not of a serious nature. She said she was in her home alone Friday evening when Colbert, who was formerly a roomer there, forced his way in and attacked her. Colbert escaped, but Mrs. Brown has secured a warrant for his arrest. EDWARD RITCHIE IN WILBERFORCE LINEUP FOR CLASSIC PAGE EIGHT THEY DO SAY By Al Monroe We have before us an announcement of the organization of a basket ball league in Chicago. The body will function with some ten or more teams playing once a week at the Eighth Regiment Armory. The plan is said to have found its growth in the brain of Dr. Albert C. Johnson whose connection with the sport dates back many, many years. The move is a splendid one, the idea an important cog in the wheel of successful sport promotion and should be supported by followers of basketball in large numbers. This is just what we have needed for some time and a thing, the absence of which, real red blooded fans have felt keenly for past several years. For a number of years basketball, was our most popular sport. It outreward by large numbers any other sport and its followers represented the cream of Chicago's society, professional and business world. A trip to one of the games played by the Original Forty Club meant a dance with members of both social sets, young and old and under conditions as favorable as you would find at any dance, matters not how "closed" it happened to be. But late years have brought about a decided change. The select group refused to take seriously to the games and every effort to bring them back appeared more and more futile until the promoters came to the conclusion that basketball simplay isn't a society game. The chief trouble with the game, however, has been the class of entertainment offered. The games have been poor, rowdies have occupied the spotlight at each of the contest's games, but even at the contest's season found the game at its lowest ebb. Exactly three games were of substitute variety due to the failure of the management to produce the opposition advertised. On one occasion Cleveland was advertised as the visiting team and not until the hour of the game did even the newspapers know that a Chicago semi-pro team and not Cleveland was to battle our clan. Every excuse was offered in a last minute effort to hold the public's confidence but apparently to no avail. Certainly it is no secret that the games following have been poorly attended. A few weeks later, however, the same Chicago team advertised a game with the Dayton Marathons of Dayton, Ohio. The papers played the game up to a high pitch, placards were spread over the city and tickets were sold far in advance of the game. But when the time came for the game the management was forced to explain to the public that Dayton had been in a wreck and that there would be no game. Finally a team of old timers were gotten sort of a fun for fans were given some sort of a fun for their family. A game may be a game but the fans know that the public wants to see the particular attraction they pay to observe and are reluctant to accept a substi- tute matters not how efficient the latter may be. It begins to look like the game is to be elevated to its once exalted plane, however, if the plans suggested by the league organizer, Dr. Johnson, are to be taken as a criterion. Certainly Dr. Johnson knows what the public expects and what the league must give to stand the pace. Johnson was head of basketball during its live years and his success is easily remembered. There is room for a basketball league in it and there is also a big demand for the team. The demand is to be supplied it must be on a basis and minus the usual disappointments that have marred the game in recent years. The new organization occupies an all-important role. If run properly it will soon become an institution of paying proportions; if the public is given a run for its money there will be little standing room even at the games. So let us hope the owners see the thing from the right angle. If they do we are in for a winter of real sport, but certain failure lurks in the wake of an attempt to kid the public.

Texas Title Holders Take 12-6 Contest From Texas College By Edwin Hurdle TYLER, TEX. Nov. 11—After suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of the Wiley Wildcats on Nov. 4, the mighty Sam Huston Dragons staged a rousing comeback by putting down the Texas College Steers by a 12-6 score. The game, beginning at 2:30 p. m., was played on Texas field with a steady westward wind greeting both teams. Acting captain Abby Ackley, who was serving as the captain for Captain Chuffy Alexander, led the Crimson and Cream warriors as they trotted on the field. Then Coach Taylor gave them their final instructions. It was a patched-up team which represented Sam Huston. Alexander, captain and right halfback, was left at home because of a bad leg. Shares regular left end, may be out for the remainder of the season because of an injury received in the Wiley game. Harris, guard and Darden, tackle, with leg injuries, were the others who were missing from the Dragon team. Owens, sturdy Dragon quarterback, was hurt but he wanted to fill his position. Davis, last year all-conference end, had a bad leg but it did not keep him out of the starting lineup. The Steers made their advent on the field a few minutes later amid cheers of students and followers. After ten minutes of play. Wheat Sam Huston fullback, ran 15 yards for Sam Huston's first touchdown. In the second quarter, Walton on the receiving end of a forward pass, made the only touchdown for Texas in the fourth period, by hitting Sam Huston line for 4 yards. giving day. I have an idea that the story is more or less a false alarm. First is the time. It is unlikely that any promoter or promoters would attempt such a promotion at such a late date. And then there is that other side suppose Lincoln should win over Howard and be the team to play the southern eleven. Tuskegee has turned the trick once this season and the fans would not be anxious to watch the team second time. I have an idea that the fans who would attend the game to see just how Tuskegee did the trick would be in too small numbers to make the promotion a successful venture. In the event, however that Howard should beat Lincoln by an overwhelming score, there would be considerable interest in the game. The fans will always feel that Tuskegee is better than either club and a one-sided win for Howard will simply add fire to the argument. Frankly we would like to be among those present along the fifty yard line when the game comes off if one can see that far). But I do not feel that Chicago is the place for such a venture. We do not live in a college town, are not a college people and are not adapted to college yells and spirit. Certainly we take our sports seriously but only when it is flavored with local coloring. I have an idea that any promoter attempting such a proposition will find this to be true. Puts Rheumatics on Their Feet Puts Rheumatics on Their Feet CALL A STANDARD CAB YARDS 7400 THE CHICAGO WHIP: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1927. WILBERFORCE, OHIO, Nov. 15—In an effort to be at its best for the annual western classic game with Institute of West Virginia, Wilberforce announces the probable return of Edward Ritchie, the team's star quarterback, to the lineup. Ritchie played in the early games with the "Force" but was compelled to leave school in the middle of the season because of illness, returning to Chicago, where he has been for the last few weeks. M. makes the team at least forty per cent stronger and gives it a quartet of players, either of whom makes motions in the direction of the best triple threat game of any of the schools. For the past three years, Ritchie has been a terror to all teams opposing Wilberforce. His passing, end runs and kicking have been of the highest type and he is a brainy player. It was the manner in which he directed the plays of his school that kept the Institute team at bay last Thanksgiving. Best in Open Field Ritchie is an all-round player, but rises to his greatest height as an open field runner. His trips around end remind one of the famous Red Grange and he is just as shifty as the famous Illi star. Ritchie is leaving Chicago this week for Wilberforce, in order that he may get back into harness and re-acquaint himself with the team's signals. But even though Ritchie falls to get back into harness, the "Force" team will not have to suffer thereby. In Harding and Ward, they have two of the shifftest runners in the game and a couple of men whose every move must be watched. Both are ten-second men and possessed of plenty of brains. Harding's style of running with his knees up around his head, makes tackling him a difficult matter for any defense. Another thing — Harding is a brainy player. It, it will be recalled that his safety just about ruined Institute's chances for tying the score last Thanksgiving Day. Wilberforce was compelled to kick from behind its own goal posts, always a dangerous thing to attempt, but instead of kicking. Harding downed the ball for a safety, giving the opposing team two points. But as Wilberforce had already scored a field goal for three points, the marker did not alter the final result. A blocked punt might have spelled defeat for the powerful Wilberforce eleven and it is known that Wilberforce was making every effort to turn the trick. INSTITUTE W. V. A., Nov. 14—Coach Hamblin started his men working with Wilberforce plays today with the intention of taking the glory away from the Ohio eleven in the annual Turkey Day game to be played at Columbus, Ohio, Thanksgiving day. One of the 12 shenmacks was ordered to run high, just as Harding does, while another was sent around the ends with the speed of an Edward Ritchie. Both players got away for long gains and New Winter Rates Two Can Sleep for Price of One All Rooms Without Bath $1.50 for Two Rooms With Bath $2.50 for Two F. Thomas, Prop. Prices Reduced in Line With the Times LEE AVERETT'S SAVING SYSTEM STORE A 4 504 E TALLADEGA MUST PLAY SANS STAR QUARTERBACK TALLADEGA, ALA., Nov. 10—A gloom went over the entire Talladega campus this morning when the news following a diagnosis of Talladega's stellar quarterback, made the fact known that a sudden attack of acute appendicitis was the case. Following this information, the officials of the school, together with those connected with the football team, set out to make the best preparations preparatory to the operation suggested by the medical authorities. By twelve o'clock all plans had been made and by one o'clock a successful operation had been performed. the absence of Cooper from the football team will be a great loss to the Talladega machine while the games yet to be played are against Fisk, concern is that of his own personal recovery to normal health for after all, that is the basis of all success. Coach Kindle, who was present during the operation, is making every effort to reorganize the team in order to face the rest of their gridiron foes. In all probability, James, one of the strongest ends in the south, will be shifted to quarterback for most of the time and other promising men will be used in his position. Despite his loss of the loss of Page due to dislocation of his shoulder in the State Normal game, the Talladega machine will still bear watching. The coach scolded his men in no uncertain terms. Still another speedy line plunger was sent through, representing Ward and his every attempt was submerged. Branch, Edwards and Nash are the powerful backs that the Wilberforce coach must legislate against. Branch is captain of the team, playing his last season and his showing has been a treat to followers of Institution. Nash is doing the kicking for the team and getting plenty of distance under his boots. He gets from 60 to 70 yards and has as much accuracy as any seen in these parts this season. He is a dangerous man from anywhere inside the forty-yard line. If "Force" hopes to hold the score even in the event that both goals remain uncrossed, they will do well to keep Nash away from the 35-yard line. He is good for the three points at anytime the angle is right. Yes, Wilberforce -must watch this boy or suffer certain defeat.

The statement came as a complete surprise for Miller had shown evidence of being adverse to discussing the actions of the referee in awarding the Tiger's title to Mickey Walker. Yanger, shown the story, simply smiled and said, "Well, I did my best. Naturally both sides couldn't be satisfied. Mr. Miller's statement follows: "Benny Yanger is alleged to have stated that he gave the decision to Walker because Flowers slapped, hacked and committed other infringements of the rules. Were this true, it was not only his privilege, but his duty, to have cautioned Flowers, which at no time during the contest did he do. "The fact that Yanger did not make the above explanation of his decision until twelve hours after the fight makes it appear just a little as though he had done considerable pondering in order to decide what to do for his atrocious act.

RAPID TRANSIT LINES FAST-RELIABLE By Al Monroe Coach Ben Mosby ordered strenuous workout for his grid stars this week notwithstanding the fact that the city schedule is about closed. The eleven will leave the city next Wednesday for St. Louis where the strong Summer high school team will be encountered. The following Saturday they stop off at Louisville, Ky., in an effort to make it two wins in a single week. The entire squad was put through drill Tuesday afternoon and not a single cripple was reported. The boys have blood in their eyes and are determined to return to Chicago with the scalps of both eleven dangling from their belts. Sumner is Tough Summer is Tough Coach Mosby is mindful of the reputed strength of the St. Louis eleven and has ordered his men to put every ounce of strength into the daily drills. Sumner, it will be relied on, stopped the strong East Side team that Phillips was only able to battle to the tie score more weeks ago. It is for this reason along with others that the local coach is drilling his charges in real battle fashion. The same goes for Western of Owensboro. This team is composed of beef players selected from the farms of Kentucky and they present a difficult problem for any coach to solve. But Phillips is not altogether worried over the strength of either eleven. In Tholmale, Roberts and Carry the southsiders boast a formidable eleven with power and punch the equal of nay eleven yet encountered. Coach Mosby, deprived of a chance at the title through the queer workings of the city high school league board, is not squawking. He evidently feels that nothing can be done and hopes for better luck next season. Mr. Mosby has not been given proper credit for the manner in which he handled the eligibility situation at the school. Certainly he made every effort to prove his men below the limit before the season was underway. Mr. Mosby has compiled a very enviable record since taking up the position. He has gone into the finals in baseball, basketball and football. If he stops Summer then more credit to his charges: if he is beaten by the St. Louis team, he is da praise a plenty for whatever showing the team makes. We are with you, Phillips. Now back up that with a splendid win over both Thanksgiving foes.

Baseball Park. Coach "Tubby" Johnson started his second string men against the visitors and only brought his first string team on the field when the ball was in Fisk's possession in Talladega's territory near the end of the quarter. The regular's quickly scored a touchdown by a 30-yard pass from Thornhill to Yost and the last touchdown by a touchdown. In the next quarter Thornhill threw a 20-yard pass to Peterson who ran for a touchdown. A 20-yard pass from Gee to Yost and a 16-yard run by Yost after receiving the ball again put the ball in scoring distance and Gee carried the ball over. Yost kicked the first point after goal but failed in the next two trys. The outstanding play of this half was the interception by Yost and the first run of 40 yards straight through the entire Talladega team by Thornhill. In the second half the visitors scored a safety and a touchdown but never became threatening. A high pass from Walker to Yost, slipped through Yost's fingers and rolled behind Fisk's goal line. Yost recovered the ball but was tackled before he passed his goal line. This scored a safety for Talladega. In the last quarter, the pass from Askew Walker (of Talladega) brought the ball to Fisk's 5-yard line and three plays later a similar pass from Askew to Walker resulted in touchdown for Talladega. ATLANTA DOWNS HOWARD IN INTERSECTIONAL CLASH Hampton Loses To A. & T. In Thrilling Battle By 13-0 Score HAMPTON TASTES DEFEAT AT HANDS OF A. & T. TEAM Losing Eleven Outplayed In Every Department As Bluefield Cops BLUEFIELD, W. VA, Nov. 12- Bluefield Colored College maintained its self-styled supremacy over the Mountaineer State and the nation by decisively defeating the scrapping, point-rigging and fighting West Virginia Collegiate Institute squad by an 18-6 score Saturday on Lakin Field. Only in the first quarter did the Yellow Jackets play superior football. The last three periods were all Bluefield. Forsaking their highly-touted aerial game and depending almost entirely on slashing line plays, the boys from Southern West Virginia drove, ran and scrapped like a championship team. Graves at fullback, responsible for most of the field's yardage, left end, the teacher who crushed Institute's ground-gaining hopes as fast as they were raised, were the principal enigma the home team never came near solving, Wiggins, Buford, Cain and Gallon were the altogether too formidable reserve. The interference of the Bluefield players was not only faultless, but uncanny for skill. Graves, on the other hand, stalked through the Institute defense — not with Grange-like wreath, but at all times like a giant, fearless cyclops, defying the most determined resistance. The game opened however, with Institute fully in control. Edwards, Nash and Branch slipped through slight vacancies for appreciable gains all during the first quarter. A 35-yard pass to Nash from Branch at the end of the quarter, was responsible for Institute's lone touchdown — a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, perfectly executed. Nash failed at the try for goal. But with the second quarter, the Bluefield backfield had chafed itself and the Bithrats formell group be full and complete. Jerieries blocked Nash's pout on Institute's 2-, yard line and Graves had little trouble to score a touchdown on three dazzling plays. Bluefield also failed to kick. TUSKEGEE READY FOR TALLADEGA ON THANKSGIVING TUSKEGEE READY FOR TALLADEGA ON THANKSGIVING TUSKEGEE, ALA., Nov. 16—Way back in the fall of 1903 a lot of Talladega fellows crushed the best that Tuskegee could offer on the gridiron by a 11-0 score. Starting with that first game, twenty others have been played. Out of this number, Talladega has won six, Tuskegee eight and six were ties. Talladega's last victory was in 1922 when Bragg's Tigers chewed the Tigers from the plains, 9-0. The closest Talladega has come to victory since that time was 1927 and played on Silisby Field, Talladega, last year. But the hopes of Talladega are eternal and Thinking is picked by the Tigers of the Hills as the day when they will again swing into the victor column. But the Tuskegee team does not subscribe to this sentiment and, in the eyes of the non-partisan, the Tigers have a reason. Tuskegee's worry is that forward pass attack for which Talladega is known and respected. The cadets think they can outcharge the Tigers from the Hills, or even out-run them, but that fellow James, who pulls in passes out when he fits away with them, is something else. They probably be on the throwing end for Talladega as "Red" Cooper, their crack with their traditional foe. STRAIGHT COLLEGE WINS THRILLING GRID BATTLE STRAIGHT COLLEGE WINS THRILLING GRID BATTLE NEW ORLEANS, LA. Nov. 12.—The Straight Tougaloo game was one of the most thrilling games the fans of New Orleans witnessed this season. The powerful Mississippi were determined to upset the dope but the Warrior's line was not to be penetrated by the Mississippi. Tougaloo threatened Straight's goal twice but failed to score. Both teams tried hard to score but only succeeded in reaching each other's 10-yard line. In the last quarter "Dyson" known on the tidesmen's line as "Ishmike" kicked a kick and ran one yard from the goal. "Squatter Benjamin" carried the ball over for Straight's only touchdown. Big "Jookie" kicked goal for the extra point making the score 7-0 in a victory Straight. Jo Henderson gave a good account of himself as quarterback for the "Tidesmen" in the first two quarters. Capt. "Mutt" Washington, right tackle and Carter, Straight's youngster who plays right guard, did some real fighting on Straight's line. Virginia Union Shows Its Class And Wins 2 Games In A Week By James B. Clarke HAMPTON, W. VA., Nov. 12—The A. & T. Bulldog Aggies grabbed two chances to score in the first and third quarters of a hard-fought struggle on Armstrong Field Saturday, Nov. 12, and beat the strong Hampton Blue and White team to the tune of 13-0. In the first two minutes of play A. & T.'s center, Patterson, broke through the line and blocked King's punt. Coles, A. & T.'s left tackle, dropped on the ball behind the goal line for the first touchdown. Coleman made a placement kick for the extra point. The touchdown was made in a short cap of time that made it "real" what had happened. The second touchdown was made in the same way. This time Patterson, the Aggie center, slipped through the line and blocked King's punt and Miller A. & T.'s star guard, covered the ball behind the line to score. The second touchdown came just about three minutes after the third quarter had begun. The Aggies changed their tactics somewhat and resorted to the air game. They were successful, however, in only a few of their attempts. There was very little line bucking by Lane and Coleman. Only a few times did they drive through the line for substantial gains. The most consistent gainers in the backfield were Coleman and Lane. On the line, there was Miller, the all-C. I. A. a guard and Capt. Hester and partner. Both teams had lines of about equal strength. The tackling was hard and fast. The Aggie ends were usually swift in running down punts and getting down the field on passes. Patterson. A. & T. center, was the man who caused the touchdown. Hampton's Blue and White team did not swing and move in the same manner as it did in other games this season. It was a long time before they could get started and when they did, the Aggies were in on them. Buldog Williams, in the backfield, and Beau Geust were the consistent ground gainers. On the line there was Wildman Lee and Big Fellow Robinson, George Davis and Gates, all of whom showed up well. By Chester L. Washington, Jr. PETERSBURG, VA. Nov. 16-Union defy snatched Fair Victory from State College last Saturday, after that elusive, fickle, much sought after enchantress had evaded each of these ancient rivals for some time, and several thousand frenzied fans looked breathlessly on as the gallant Panther eleven gained 7 points on the thrilling-producing Hill-toppers while the latter were getting none. The triumph over State brings Virginia Union's record of victories up to five, Virginia Seminary having been beaten also last week in Norfolk by a 6-0 score in a spectacular game. A lad whose name is Herman — a seion of the famous old Washington family — a fleet Panther halfback who hails from Colorado, felt right at home when he saw some of those wide open spaces in the State line Saturday and in the Seminary forward wall Monday, open up before him and Wash galloped through them for two touchdowns and two victories. Washington's 31-yard run for a touchdown against State and a brilliant 71-yard run against Seminary, both on off-tackle plays, earned him an honored place on Union's Immortal Roster of Those Athletically Great. Anderson and Breaux also won a place on Sport's honor roll by their sensational play.

At no time during the fray was there a letup. From the opening kickoff to the final gun, every inch of territory gained by the Teachers was severely contested. In the aerial game, Haven showed to a decided advantage, all of her scores being made by that route. The Teachers scored in each period of the game after the first. Despite the apparent weakness of Selma's defense, Haven was never able to pierce her line for any considerable gain. However, in skillfully executed plays, Haven had a wide edge on the Baptists, which showed to advantage in every shift play. Never before on the local gridiron has there been such an exhibition of high class football and sterling sportsmanship. Neither team suffered over one penalty, except in the final sanza when, with one minute to go. Haven drew a 30-yard setback on account of spectators rushing on the field of play thinking that the time-keeper's warning whistle meant the end of play. This penalty gave Selma her first and only chance to score, the ball being placed on the eight-yard line. However, time denied them the opportunity for Haven's defense stiffened on the 3-yard line at the final gun. In the second stanza, Ross, for Haven, brought the crowd to its feet by snagging a loop from Davis in the open and racing 30 yards for the first touchdown. Needham failed for the extra point. The outstanding play of the day occurred in the act when Walker, the mainstay of Haven's attack, ran in front of Nunn, the Selma left end and snatched a perfect peg from Dozier and raced through Selma's defense 50 yards to make the second marker. In the final period, Needham, for the Teachers, reaching high in the air, grasped a stif, heave from Davis and after shaking off a couple of would-be tacklers, ran 35 yards to the end line, thus ending the scoring for the day. Haven to a man, played a whale of a game, with Edwards, Blount and Malone in the line, bearing the brunt of the burden. For the 'Bama boys, Hannon, Nunn and Fox stood out, with Dozier at the helm. Hilltoppers scaling the heights in the air game. Breaux kicked off and Johnson received the pikskin at the 11-yard point and ran 19 yards. Both teams passed, kicked and ran the oval with unusual determination and fight. By means of two long passes, Johnson to State's ends, the Hilltoppers advanced to within good striking distance of the goal line, but twice they failed. In the initial stanza, State made six first dow, to Union's three. The second half was a nip and tuck affair with Anderson, Tobin, Ruffin, Gardner and Merritt sparking in line play for Union while Slaughter, Crockett, Overby and Payne were outstanding for State. Union scored in the fourth quarter and Washington ran to make the extra point. Pegram and Payne were on the receiving end of long spectacular passes near the end of the game but the referee's whistle stopped hostilities on the Union 11-yard line. ARKANSAS GRID TITLE GOES TO PHILANDER "11" Southern Eleven Subdues Howard In Grueling Contest Before 10,000 Fans Philander Smith College Tops Arkansas Baptist For State Title By Clarence 1. Nelson LITTLE ROCK, ARK., Nov. 12—Before the largest crowd to witness a football game in these parts the Phillander Smith College Basketball College Buffaloes for a 12 to 0 victory on a muddy field at Fair Park on Armistice Day, in the Home-Coming game for the winners. The Baptists lost the state title which they have held since 1915, with the exception of the 1921 season, when the Shorter College eleven, led by the great Harry Kenyon, downed the Buffaloes by a 12 to 7 score. The Baptists were out-classed and out-played by a Philander Smith team coached by A. N. Grant, who played football at Brown with "Ink" Williams. The Panthers kicked off to the Buffaloes in the first quarter and held the Baptists for downs on their own 40-yard line. Then the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Barrett — started a drive to the Baptist goal line. They hit off tackle and smashed the line on the ball was placed on the Baptist 15-yard line. Barrett hurled a forward pass to "Specs" Purtifoy, former Wendell Phillips track star, standing on the Baptist 5-yard line. Not a Baptist tackler was near him and he scored standing up. The Panthers failed to add the extra point in the second quarter. The second quarter was played in mid-field. Buffaloes recovered a Philander Smith fumble on the Panthers' 20-yard line. The Panther line held and this was as near as the Baptists got to the Philander goal in the entire game. ALABAMA AND CLARK PLAY TO THRILLING 6-6 TIE MONTGOMERY, ALA, Nov. 11—Despite the prediction that the Clark Patterson would win in decisive fashion, the Alabama State Hornets, with both Campbell and Moore out of their lineup, held them to a 6-6 tie here today. Clark eased over their marker in the first three minutes of play, before the Alabamians could get hold of themselves and appraise the relative strength of the visiting aggregation. Clark's ten-second backfield aces put the oval across with a rapid series of fake line plays, deceptive cross bucks and sweeping end runs. After this disastrous start, the Hornets came to its marched up to Clark's four-yard line, where they were held for downs. For the second and third times in the first half the Bama boys threatened to score but failed. The first half ended Clark 6; State Normal 0. The second half began with Clark kicking to State Normal. Burns carried the ball back 25 yards. The Hornets were unable to make first down Walton kicked 20 yards, diagonally to the side lines. After three plays, Clark kicked to State Normal. Burns brought the ball up 25 yards. Rufus Lewis passed to Hall for 20 yards and first the hitler hit off tackle for 5 yards. Bob Johnson came in for Fuller and hit for 5 yards and first down, off tackle. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` MOREHOUSE TOO SLOW; TENNESSEE WINS BY 20 TO 13 By C. L. Reynolds ATLANTA, GA., Nov. 12—B. T. Harvey's Morehouse Tigers bowed before the hefty onslaught of the Tennessee State aggregation here today, 20-13. The first quarter went, up scoreless. The Tennessee lads held Morehouse for downs on the 11-yard line late in the second stanza and began a march down the field which was halted on Morehouse's 7-yard line, when with fourth down and two to go, they failed to gain. Hunter of Morehouse, gained 7, but Morehouse was penalized to the 1-yard line for roughing. Moseley attempted to kick and was tacked behind the goal line, giving State the two-point advantage as the half ended. The oval see-sawed in midfield during the third quarter till Saunders of Morehouse scooped a State fumble and ran 35 yards to the 14-yard line. Hunter 'Jumbled, Trice recovering and the Tigers' hopes were again blighted. Later in the quarter, while attempting to punt, Forbes fumbled on his own 12-yard line. Two tries carried it across. In the fourth stanza, State took another 'House fumble on the 20-yard line and A. Brown went over in one attempt. Later, Morehouse punted to State and Webster was down on his 31-yard line. They marched the remaining 69 yards up the field through the Tiger line for their last tally. All tries for extra points failed. With seven minutes to play, Blackburn of the 'House, intercepted a toss of Webster's and raced 40 yards to place the ball on State's 20-yard line.

"The Millionaire" deals with the adventures of Pelham Guitch, a colored soldier of fortune, a man who as a youth, possessed great initiative and a definite objective, hies himself far from the haunts to his race—thousands of miles away to South America. There, upon the wild billow plains of the Argentine, he becomes a sort of "Wild Bull o the Pampas." Fifteen years fly by—and, having amassed a huge fortune, he returns to America, his heart anxious and hungry for that most infinite of all things—woman. In New York he meets Celia Wellington, the siren—a woman with an inferiority complex—a beautiful, talented, but unyeworthy creature; the conubine of the "Lizard," most notorious underworld character in all New York, who, in league with Brock, king of the underworld, seeks to invigile him into marriage with the vampire. What follows makes up a story so chock full of action, thrills, romance and intrigue until it will keep you grasping the seat and catching your breath in a never ending stream of excitement and interest.
