C., Nov. 23.—The grand jury returned indictments against Ralph G. Biasey and Robert L. Smith, police officers of the Fifth precinct for blackmail. One of the indictments charges that the policemen took $25 from Chas. S. Beal, 1259 First street, southwest on September 30th on a threat that they would prefer charges of violating the prohibition law against Beal. The other indictment alleges that the defendants took $800 from Claude Newsom, 209 Virginia Avenue, southwest on October 29th under a similar threat. He complained to Inspector Pratt and he was afterward given some marked money. Sergt. Charles C. Wise and Detectives Weber and Sullivan were assigned to the case and with the assistance to Newsom, laid a trap with the marked money, according to the record. "A PAPER WITH A POLICY" The Chicago Whip AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY 'Bill' Jeffries, Bondsman, Gets 60-Day Sentence William 'Bill' Jeffries, well known auto racer, 2979 Prairie avenue, was sentenced to serve sixty days in the DeKalb County jail by Judge Adam C. Cliffe of the federal court Thursday for contempt of court. Jeffries, along with two other bondsmen, the court learned, had become irregular in his practise of signing bonds. All of the men were warned, but soon after it was learned that the flagrant practise still continued. The two Caucasian bondsmen also given sixty days each are incarcerated in the Cook County jail. Jeffries was one of the foremost auto racers of color in the country until his mishap near Cleveland last year. SUPREME COURT BARS CHINESE IN MISS. SCHOOLS Upholds Ruling Of State Supreme Court; No Law Violated Opinion Says WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 22—The United States Supreme court upheld the Mississippi state laws compelling the segregation of Caucasian and colored school children in reviewing the case of Martha Lunn, nine year old daughter of a Chinese-American citizen. The case came to the supreme court from the supreme court in Mississippi which ruled that the girl could not insist upon being classified with Caucasian children under the state constitution. It specifically requires that there shall be separate schools for Caucasian children and those of other races. The Opinion Chief Justice Taft said in part, according to the written opinion that "the question here is whether a Chinese citizen of the United States is denied equal protection of the laws when he is classed among the colored races and furnished facilities for education, whether white brown, yellow or black." The chief justice continued that this problem had been passed on in other decisions and "the decision is within the discretion (Turn to Page 5. Col. 4) READING, PA. Nov. 23.—With his face covered with soot, a lone bandit slugged a bank clerk Thursday in front of the Birdsboro postoffice and escaped with a registered package containing $20,000. He was later identified as Frank Glass, a bookkeeper at an ice plant. All except $5,000 was recovered when the fleeing bandit was forced to abandon his bullet-ridden motor car. The bandit took to his heels and escaped from the posse in a thickly wooded district after a ten mile chase. This wooded area was surrounded immediately and authorities declare the bandit's capture is a matter of a few hours. The criminal was so closely observed that the first impression that the bandit was colored was completely discredited. TRIBUTE IS PAID BY ALL ATLANTANS Eight Thousand Attend Funeral Held In City Auditorium ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 23.—Theodore "Tiger" Flowers, former middle weight champion boxer of the world, was buried here Monday with tributes from both races entirely commensurate with the estimable life which he lived. Funeral services are held in the city audium where more than eight thousand persons of both races gathered to pay their last respects to America's foremost ring idol of late years. The municipal auditorium was tendered by the city officials when it became apparent to those in charge of the funeral services that the Butler street A. M. E. Church, the great deacon's church home, would not be large enough to accommodate even a few of Flower's friends. Lauded By All Bishop R. A. Carter of the African Methodist Episcopal church officiated. T'e dead march from "Saul" was played.

Word From Accident Suit While this was taking place there was a persistent rumor circulating here to the effect that the deceased had made a transfer of property to his manager some weeks ago when a suit was filed against the fighter for $75,000 in Roanoke, Va., where he accidentally injured a child while driving his auto. Some say the report came from authentic sources from which it was learned also that the property supposed to (Turn to Page 2, Col. 1) RIFT IN MILLS MEMORIAL RANKS NEW YORK. Nov. 23. — Active solicitation for contributions to a fund for a memorial for Florence Mills has already begun. In the midst of this activity, according to reports, a serious rift among members of the stage idol's profession has arisen which may result in the whole perfect being abandoned. At a meeting held Tuesday at the Lafayette theatre where a fitting memorial was to be decided upon, particular stress was placed upon the activity of Earl Dancer, reported self-imposed sponsor of the memorial movement. Information was let out at that meeting that he posed as a particular friend of the family despite the fact that many members of his profession knew him and his wife, Ethe Waters; he be only casual friends of Florence Mills. Dancer was in demand in the purchase of the $10,000 casket for the deceased. Those who attended "he meeting suggested that Lew Leslie, manager of the late musical comedy star as the logical man to handle an affair of this kind. It is believed that his influence along Broaway will inspire many theatre-goers to give to the fund that will perpetuate Mills' memory. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1927. Idol Of Paris Sells Goods For Charity THE CEREMONY Josephine Baker, popular American stage star, who has taken Paris by storm during her sojourn there, has found time aside from her duties in managing her night club in the "City of Light" to sell for charity behind the counters of a large Parisian department store. QUINN CHAPEL WILL NOT ACCEPT PASTOR STEWART Church Seems Disposed To Challenge Actions Of Bishop Gaines Old historic Quinn Chicago's oldest A. M. E. Church, was a scene of disorder and rebellion last Sunday morning. It seems that the members of Quinn do not desire and are unwilling to accept Dr. H. E. Steward as their pastor. Dr. Steward was recently assigned to lead the flock at Quinn by Bishop A. L. Gaines and as a result friction and strife have been fomented. Dissatisfaction over the Bishop's appointments has been made evident throughout the whole diocese but at Quinn there appears to be more bitter determination to challenge the actions of the Bishop than elsewhere. Service Halted During the services last Sunday Dr. Steward found an occasion to set aside his spiritual tasks long enough to read a telegram to the congregation from Bishop Gaines. The telegram as read advised that a vote be taken in order that it might be decided whether the people would accept Dr. Steward as their pastor. One of Dr. Steward's SHOOTS SELF: IS ARRESTED John Williams, 2338 Calumet avenue was taken to the Bridwell hospital early Saturday suffering from a gunshot wound in his foot. According to the police report, Williams is supposed to have shot himself while cleaning a pistol. He is being held for investigation. SEEK SUSPECT AS JUDGE FINDS MAN GUILTY OF ATTACK James Brown, 30 years old, 460 Milton avenue, a chauffeur by trade, was found guilty of attempted robbery and assault by Judge John P. McGoorty Friday afternoon in the Criminal Court. Brown was accused by Edward Klinge, 3308 N. Irving avenue, who charged that the prisoner had attacked him under the elevated tracks and beat him up in an attempted robbery on August 13 at 10:30 p. m. Since two witnesses named a man by the name of James Watts as the assailant of Klinge, the judge withheld sentence to give police and the defense time to bring in this suspect. One witness, Ernestine Shartness, declared that she had seen James Watts commit the assault but had said nothing to the police about their mistake in arresting Brown because she was afraid they would lock her up as a witness. ANNOYER IS HELD FOR 'PSYCH' TEST George "Kelly, 3515 South Parkway, was ordered to the city psychopathic hospital Saturday morning when arraigned before Judge Francis Borrelli at 27th street court on charge of disorder conduct. Kelly was arrested at the instigation of Andrew M. Monson, an employee of the E. E. Baldwin Realty Company at 3540 Indiana avenue. The complainant testified that Kelly loitered about the entrance of the office and had attempted to follow one of the young women employed there. The defendant denied the charges and tried to prove that he was employed. However, his previous bad record and his inability to explain his partial confession to the arresting officers caused his sentence. 5 IN CHICAGO CENTS PRICE 7 ELSEWHERE CENTS IN CHICAGO—TWELVE PAGES hool Bar EUDS Commissioner Discharges Man Once Before Process Papers Arrive WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 23.—A suit for $75 was filed Monday in the municipal court against William H. (Billy) King, well known producer and comedian, by Attorney J. Franklin Wilson for professional services rendered during the summer of 1926. The comedian's former counsel asserts that he filed suit for Mr. King in July of last year against Earl Dancer, Ethel Waters, A. F. Lichtman and Marshall Rogers to prohibit their use of his acts. An agreement was reached whereby the defendants promised not to use any of King's material. Since that time the lawyer claims he has never been paid for his services. This service --- MAY EXTRADITE ALLEGED BOOZE RUNNER TO MISS. Extradition proceedings against Charles McNabb of McComb, Miss, will begin Wednesday morning when he is arraigned before U. S. Commissioner James R. Glass for violation of the Federal prohibition laws. He was turned over to the federal authorities Nov. 2 by Officer Benjamin Morgan of the detective bureau. When arraigned the first time, the government had no details of the case, no extradition process papers of any kind except the information given to them by the city detective bureau.

LAWYER SUES BILLY KING FOR $75 DEATHS LAID TO DICE AND MOONSHINE Slayer In Moonshine Brawl Claims He Shot In Self Defense: Surrenders SEEK DICE GAME KILFER Mystery Shrouds Murder Done In Basement The southside raised its murder ante this week when instead of the customary one, it contributed two slayings to the police records. The first one occurred early Sunday morning between two and two-thirty at 4758 St. Lawrence avenue, in the basement, when Walter Johnson, 4729 St. Lawrence avenue, 32 years old, was slain during a fight over a crap game. The second occurred Monday evening about 5:30 at 5760 Lafayette avenue, also in the basement, when Thomas Poe, a roomer at the place, shot his landlord, Jesse Ladell, 60 years old and the latter's wife, Matilda Ladell, 65 years old, after an afternoon of moonshine drinking. Ladell died early Tuesday morning. His wife is on the road to recovery. Slayer's Statement The only information police were able to get on the slaying of Ladell was from the statement of Poe himself. Mrs. Ladell was not able to talk and the only other witness, a man named "Charley" was not to be found. According to the slayer's statement, he had been drinking moonshine with the Ladell and "Charley" all afternoon. About five oclock, he was standing by the stove in the front room when he was starled by a shot and felt a bullet strike him in the face. Turning around he declared, his saw Matilda with a smoking revolver in her hand. He sprang upon her and grappled with her, finally succeeding in getting the weapon away from Husband Attacks Him Hardly had Poe got possession of the gun, according to his statement, when (Turn to Page 7, Col. 3) ROBBER YOUTH IS SENT TO THE PEN Thomas King, 20 years old, was adjudged guilty of robbery with a gun and sentenced to from one year to life in the penitentiary Monday evening by a jury in the court of Judge Otto Kerner. According to the testimony, King entered the jewelry store of Louis Shapiro, 111 E. 43rd street on the 23rd of last July. He said he wanted to buy a diamond ring. Shapiro showed him two rings and King tried them on. The youth then said he wanted to buy one of the rings. Shapiro turned around to make out a ticket and King put a gun on him and backed out of the store with the rings. Shapiro raised an outfit and a crowd pursued King, finally catching him without letting him get out of sight. He was brought to the 49th street police station and looked up. A few days later he made a statement confessing the theft and implicating a man named Charles Lynch, alias Snow of 4338 State street. On the witness stand he repudiated the confession and denied the theft. Lynch has not been apprehended.

These were the last words of the tacitum fighter after he had thrown off his memorable fighting robe and submitted himself to Dr. Wilfred G. Fralick in a private hospital in New York Wednesday night where he underwent an operation for the removal of a growth above his right eye. His sudden death was attributed to lymphatic which was present in the region of the operation. His Career The fighting deacon who was known all over the country as one of the cleanest fighters the game ever produced, was born August 5, 1895. He took up boxing while employed in the ship yards during the world war. His prowess as a fighter attracted the attention of Walk Miller who launched Flowers on the road to the middleweight championship. He first attracted national attention when he outpointed Harry Greb, then middleweight champion in Freemont, Ohio, in 1924. Then he went to New York where he made his debut and became the idol of fight fans there. It was there that he stopped Johnny Wilson, former king of middleweights. Big Drawing Card From that time on Flowers, with his unorthodox method of fighting became an immense drawing card. His cat-like leaps about the ring were marveled at by both spectators and opponents. Finally he was matched with Jack Delaney and was knocked out in four rounds. This did not discourage him and he was matched again and was again knocked out. But Delaney at this time had become a light heavyweight and many sport critics say the match should never have been allowed. Then his chance for the title came. Contrary to all expectations he outpointed Greb and was awarded the middleweight belt. He gave Greb a return match in 4 THE CASKET Crowds numbering in the thousands passed before the bier of Tiger Flowers as the Georgia Deacon, former middleweight champion of the world, lay in state in his New York home. Flowers died suddenly in a New York hospital last week as a result of a complication which set in following a comparatively minor operation. August and won in a very convincing manner. After capably defending his crown against all comers he was finally matched with Mickey Walker in Chicago December, 1926. He was robbed of his title at the end of that ten round bout by Benny Yanger whom Chicago sport writers declared made one of the raw decisions in the history of the ring after it was apparent to everyone present that Flowers had unmistakably out-pointed Walker. Despite this, Flowers showed his true American sportsmanship. He walked across the ring and congratulated Walker in more keeping for his dressing room. Mickey, meantime, had stood in dazzed condition and friends say now that he was very much surprised. PREJUDICED MIND CAUSES MAN TO BE OUSTED FROM JURY PITTSBURGH, PA., Nov. 23.—Declaring emphatically that he did not think he could render a fair verdict in a case involving a colored man's freedom, William Coe, painter and prospective juror in the Jesse Duncan murder case, was dismissed from jury service Thursday by visiting Judge John Hennington of Butler County. "I do not think so," was Coe's acc tual reply to Attorney William H. Stanton, whereupon the prospective talesman was promptly dismissed. Duncan was placed on trial for the slaying of Booker Dinwiddie, a neighbor, May 28, when Duncan, according to Attorney Stanton, was acting in the capacity of a peacemaker in a quarrel over a debt among friends during a drinking party at his home. Dinwiddie was the innocent victim of the shooting. Don't miss the Bathing Beauties at the Savoy December 2nd. Big Sisters' Charity Prom.

ATLANTA GA. Nov. 23—Thomas H. Trollinger was indicted Tuesday by hite Fulton County grand jury on a charge of murder growing out of the slaying of Owen Carruthers, 21 years old, whose body was unearthed Nov. 4 in a shallow grave in a cornfield on a Simpson road in the suburbs. Trollinger went to *trial Nov. 21.* It is thought that Carruthers was killed by Trollinger because it was feared he would divulge some of the secrets of the alleged slayer's operations. Trollinger is charged in one count with having killed Carruthers by beating him over the head with a hammer. Another count says that Millard Allen, an accomplice, fired a shot into Carruthers' body and that Trollinger aided and abetted him. Trollinger is alleged to have killed Allen four weeks ago. He was acquitted on a plea of self-defense. It is believed now that Allen knew of the Vol. IX. November 26, 1927. No. 48.

Millions of Fans on Dr. Caldwell When Dr. Caldwell started to practice medicine, back in 1875, the needs for a laxative were not as great as they are today. People lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain, wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air and sunshine. But even that only there were drastic physics and purges for the relief of constipation which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings to put into their system. So he wrote a prescription for a laxative to be used by his patients. The prescriber, for constipation that he used early in his practice, and which he put in drug stores in 1892 under the name of Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vegetable remedy, intended for women, children and elderly people, and they need just such a mild, safe, gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin. Under successful management this prescription has proven its worth and is now the largest selling liquid laxative in the world. The fact that millions of bottles are used a year proves that it has won over the number of people who need it to get relief from headaches, biliousness, flatness, indigestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia, colds and fever. Millions of families are now never without Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and if you will once start using it you will also always have a bottle handy for emergencies. the Infor AMERICA'S SMARTEST BALLROOM SAVOU SOUTH PARKWAY at 47th ST.

POLICEMAN IS UP FOR SLAYING MAN WHO STRUCK HIM Judge Haas Will Present Written Decision In Case Saturday Morning (Continued From Page 7) feet in the basement as of somebody in his house slippers and finally somebody knocked on the door. She cracked the door open and saw Moody, whom she had never seen before to know him, she said, standing there in his bathrobe. The bathrobe was open, the girl declared and Moody's chest was out. The girl screamed and shut the door and locked it. Moody continued to knock. Seeing her brother through the window approaching the house, Rossie called him to help her. Connors rapped on the door but Moody refused to open it, telling him with an oath, that nobody was going to get in that house. Connors then ran into the barber shop next door and asked for help, saying there was a burglar in the house with his sister. Failing to get help there, he went to a butcher shop and asked for a cleaver or something to break the door down and rescue his sister. The butcher told him to return to the house and promised to get the police for him. Officers Overtake Him As Connors was on his way back to the house, he was overtaken by Officers Olivier and Morgan who asked him his trouble. He told them and they went to the house. Rossie could be heard screaming for help. She could not make her exit through the window because there were iron bars in front of it. Morgan was sent around to the rear of the house and Olivier and Connors tried to get in the front basement door. Rossie called that she couldn't open the door and Moody shouted again that nobody was going to get into the house. Officer Olivier shouted that he was a police officer and commanded Moody to open, but still Moody refused. The officer then kicked in the door and entered the basement. The interior of the basement was dark. Olivier declared that he had hardly got inside when he felt the blow from the shovel on his side. He called to Moody again that he was a police officer but Moody continued to attack him. Olivier fired one shot into his abdomen. Moody ran toward the rear of the basement and then collapsed. Moody Intoxicated From this testimony the defense contended that Moody, while under the influence of liquor, had attempted to force his way in Rossie Connors' room to attack her and that Olivier had shot him while in pursuance of his duty to rescue the girl at the request of her brother. Through the testimony of Mrs. Blair they sought to show that Moody did not live on the premises and that he was seldom around there. Mrs. Blair admitted that she rented from Moody but said that a man named Washington, who lived on the premises, was agent of the place and collected the rents. She denied that Moody had been given any privileges or that he was on the place often. That Moody had been drinking at the time was established by Officer Burke of the Third District wagon. Officer Burke was one of those who took the injured man to the hospital. He said that Moody smelled strongly of liquor at the time. This was not denied by the state. The defense contended that since Moody was intoxicated, since the girl a resident of the premises, screaming for help and since the officer broke the door down at the request of the girl's brother, the entry was not unlawful and the shooting after Moody made the attack with the shovel was justified. Will Write Decision At the close of the arguments, Judge Haas stated that the case was of sufficient importance t o warrant a written decision and continued the hearing to Saturday morning, Nov. 26, when he will read his decision. The hearing before Judge Haas is only a preliminary hearing to determine whether it is sufficient probable cause to hold Officer Olivier to the grand jury for manslaughter. If he is held, he will have to face trial later in the criminal court.

BALTIMORE, MD., Nov. 23—Mrs. Sarah Lewis, 1115 Monument street, charged with receiving stolen property, in Judge Duke Bond's court Tuesday, was acquitted. Luther Brown, Clifton Wynn and John Free, all implicated in the burglary of a fur store on Gay street, were convicted. The first two were sentenced to sixty days in prison while Free was sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. Mrs Lewis was accused of possessing four fur coats valued at $900, which were identified by the furrier as his property. The prosecution contended that the coats, although thrown in Mrs. Lewis's hand, by her and that made no effort to inform authorities of what transpired. The defense counsel contention during the trial was to the effect that the defendant bore an unimpeachable reputation in the community where she had lived for almost a quarter of a century. The three men were apprehended at Ashland and Broadway when police officers saw pieces of fur protruding from the back of a dog in which the alleged burglar occupied. 6 Months to Pay SAVE HALF Your DENTIST Bill Sanitary Special Bridge- work as Low as $4 Guarantee Out of Town Patients Plates $10 to $30 Completed Same as 50c PAINLESS EXTRACTION 50c PAINLESS EXTRACTION PEOPLES DENTISTS 322 S.

"NOT FOR POWER AND PRESTIGE, BUT FOR SERVICE" DETROIT, MICH., Nov. 23—Declaring that the recent jailing of Frank Reese, 6106 Stanford avenue, and Joseph Collins, 6114 Stanford avenue last week, was totally uncalled for and the result of a malicious plot, Detroit citizens are up in arms and demanding an investigation of the case. Reese and Collins was arrested by four officers who drove up to their homes at 2 a.m., roused the men out of their beds, forced them to dress, and took them to the police station. The officers charged these men were the bandits who killed Officer Henry Puffer of the Vinewood station in a recent holdup of a gasoline filling station. Reese and Collins are among Detroit's best citizens. The former has worked steadily at the Ford Motor Company and the latter is a plasterer's helper. Both are active church members. VAGRANTS SENT HOME Roosevelt Evans of Gary, Ind., and John Thompson of Buffington, Ind., were ordered to go back to their respective home towns and never to return to Chicago again by Judge Haas at the 48th street court Monday morning. Evans and Thompson were arrested at 41st street and Champlain avenue Saturday night after a complaint had come to the police that the men were stopping men on the street and asking them for money. HOLD CHECK FORGER Isaac Brown, overseas veteran, 3328 Indiana avenue, was held to the grand jury under bonds of $2,500 attempting to pass a worthless check. The complainant, Lawrence Jones, 3031 Cottage Grove avenue, presented checks written by Brown who forged Jones' name. The BABY No mother in this enlightened age would give her baby something she did not know was perfectly harmless, especially when a few drops of plain Castoria will right a baby's stomach and end almost any little ill. Fretfulness and fever, too; it seems no time until everything is serene. That's the beauty of Castoria; its gentle influence seems just what is needed. It does all that castor oil might accomplish, without shock to the system. Without the evil taste. It's delicious! Being purely vegetable, you can give it as often as there's a sign of colic; constipation; diarrhea; or need to aid sound, natural sleep. Just one warning: it is genuine Fletcher's Castoria that physicians recommend. Other preparations may just be free from such painful drum, but no child of this writer's is going to test them! Besides, the book on care and feeding of babies that comes with Fletcher's Castoria is worth its weight in gold.

WITH DUE REGARD FOR RIGHT, WITH PURITY OF MOTIVE IN OUR EXPRESSION, WITH CONSCIENTIOUS COMPASSION FOR STRICKEN HUMANITY, WITH UNSTINTED CREDIT TO THOSE WHO MERIT, WITH TRUTH AS OUR GUIDE POST AND LOVE AS OUR INSPIRATION. WE HAVE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM. WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE. A week set aside for the consideration of the art of the black man has just passed. Liberal arts were liberally considered by varied lovers and admirers of art in Chicago, where the occasion was featured. Critics have written their scant and sparse reviews, students and connoisseurs have expressed their appreciation, and lack of it, for what they saw and heard, and it is all over. A laudable and conscientious effort was made by the sponsors of "Art Week" to emphasize, stress and call attention to the work of the black people in the varied fields of art. Their intentions were splendid and altruistic and they should be encouraged but from what we have seen and heard it appears to us that "Negro Art" week, as an example of a separated race's achievement in this exalted field, was a dismal failure. Unprejudiced and open minded critics who went to see and hear the offerings of the so-called "Negro Artists" came away disappointed and downcast. A depressed black man disparagingly remarked to this writer that "we did not have much to offer that would reflect any glory on the race." This reaction somewhat approximates the consensus of opinion in Chicago. None of that much vaunted artistic genius that is supposed to abound in the black race was revealed to the public in Chicago. The outstanding features of "Art Week" in Chicago were three or four fine paintings, some illuminating lectures and the Jubilee singers. Other exhibitions and renditions were decidedly mediocre. The lack of the finish and finese of true artists was conspicuous. None of the commanding and awe-inspiring creations, that spring from the fingers and mouths of genius were placed on exhibition. Our offerings were characterized in general by crudeness and amateurishness. We do not wish nor intend to convey the idea that our offerings were not good, but we do wish to fasten the idea that they did not come up to expectation or reputation and we are led to conclude that the artistic achievements of the black people have been over-appraised and watered. Mr. Mencken intimated as much a few months ago. The natural talents of the black people in the fine arts has been so highly praised and lauded that it seems that the world expects more than there has been developed to give. We may be the creators of much of the so-called American art but we have certainly failed to put on the finishing touches. James Weber writing in Hearst papers seems to go to the root and essence in considering the much renowned musical art of the black race, says Mr. Lynn: "My objection to Negro music is that it seeks apparently to accent racial qualities. Why should the Fisk singers present spirituals only? Jews are proud of the Jews who have been great musicians, but they never eccent their work as Jewish music. The French, the Italians, deny that the eminent qualities of their music are racial; they feel their harmonics universal. Just so with jazz and the spirituals. What I hope from this week of "The Negro in Art" is a demonstration that in art the Negro is not a Negro, but a man of the world." In concert with Mr. Lynn, we add that the Negroism and racial stigmata must be taken off our efforts before we can be truly great as artists. A certain newspaper being published above the Mason-Dixon line makes a strong plea for an "all-colored" hospital in Gary, Indiana, and insists that the hospital be entirely manned by black people. This newspaper further makes a plea for a "colored fire department" and insists that it be "entirely manned" by black men. This newspaper urges that the city of Gary set up these institutions in the hope that benefit will be established for the swarthy Garyites. It seems to us that while the pens of Afro-American editors are pouring ink on their pages denouncing Gary's proposed "All colored" high school that a demand for Jim Crow hospitals and fire departments by this certain newspaper means that segregation is by no means taken as serious evil by certain elements of our people. We have known this all along and railed against it but all to no avail. We are oftimes confronted with the argument in defense of segregation emanating from our white brethren that, "Negroes, themselves, seek segregation." William Munroe Trotter, a noble champion of human liberty, has given these self-segregationists no quarter and has bitterly assailed and assaulted every leaning toward segregation in Boston, but he alone has refused to bend and bow. Every other leader has found exigencies arising of such a nature that segregation could be excused. We find no excuse for it anywhere or on any occasion. Segregation is a hang-over from slavery and we want freedom and liberty. Advocates and pleaders for "all colored" institutions do not think in terms of free men. PAGE TWELVE Jos. D. Bibb.

The pain in the head is caused by, the soft structures within the bony shell, swelling and increasing the tension in the brain. Every fresh headache stamps lines or wrinkles on the face. The causes of headaches are manifold. Often we bring our own headaches on ourselves by too-much-gossiping, worrying, reading, playing. Dancing too long and too much, frequently causes it too, and excesses of all kinds contribute to the condition by raising the blood-pressure. Eye-strain or some eye defect may be a cause which is little suspected; a visit to an eye-specialist may quickly right matters. The headache may be digestive, and again it is mostly our own fault through eating unwisely or too well. When one is unduly fatigued a heavy meal is most inadvisable. Most cases of headaches and wrinkles can be prevented. At the first warning symptom of headache such as lassitude, drowsiness or excessive yawning, take a purge such as Cascara, Pluto Water or Epsom Salts, and in most cases the headache tablet will not be needed. The woman subject to headaches should sleep with her windows open and take adequate exercise in the open air. Stuffy places should be avoided. For the girl who works six days a week and is subject to headache it is advisable for her to rest most of the day Sunday. It is a good plan for her to spend Sunday in bed with a light book and a light diet. Don't worry. Worry produces more headaches, perhaps, than any other cause. Cultivate a cheerful temperament. It can be done if you try very hard and your headaches and wrinkles will fly away. If your headaches persist, then it is best to visit your family physician for a thorough physical examination. WEEK'S BEST EDITORIAL OUR MINDS ENSLAVED (From Philadelphia Tribune) "You cannot enslave a man until after you have enslaved his mind." Dr. Carter Woodson told a small group of people last week. He continued his thought with this statement: "There are very few free Negroes in America." And he didn't mean that we have shackles on our bodies either. Our enslavement is due to the way we think about ourselves. Or rather, it is because of the opinions we hold. As a matter of fact, a very small proportion do any thinking at all. We accept the predigested pap hand to us by white people. This condition doesn't obtain solely among illiterate and unlearned those who pursue scholars and leaders hold opinions about themselves and their race that are the conclusions of other people. Some of them are stupid enough to believe they are different from other Negroes. "They are the exceptional Negroes and all others are inferior." They are slaves. Of all slaves they are the most pitiful. Their bonds will never be broken. Their case is hopeless. Some white man has told them they are different and poor, fortunate beings that they are, they believed it. But there is hope for the younger generation. They must be taught the glorious history of their race.

No editorial tributes have been paid to the memory of "Tiger" Flowers by the white press and why? Flowers was a credit to his profession. He was a pugilistic gentleman. He trod no primrose paths, he saved his money, he was faithful to his wife and remained, until the tap of the final gong, a devout religionist. This man, Flowers, certainly set a laudable and praise-worthy example for the lovers of clean sport. He even pleased the bourbon southerners of his native state. He did not move away from Lynchland but remained meek, humble and un-assuming. He did not contract that contagious and prevalent disease among star athletes known as the "big head." He offended no rules of public or private decorum and the only reason that we can discern why he is not eulogized by his white brothers is the color of his skin. Flowers was to the ring what Mathewson was to baseball. Both men brought dignity and respect to their calling, but one was white and the other was black and while one will be held up as a model to American youth, the other will be unsung and soon forgotten. * * * the office and plant of the L.A. set upon and almost wreck.

There is no common men of the black race who prosecuted and ostracized the course of time will later they will be turned on to pieces. Last week the office and plant of the Louisville News, one of our papers, was set upon and almost wrecked by a group of our own people. The editor and founder, William Warley, embittered and disgusted, states, that henceforth he will publish a newspaper and no longer a "race paper." Mr. Warley has been driven to that decision by the ingratitude of those whose interests he contended for. There is no condonation for such actions and those men of the black race who committed the offense ought to be prosecuted and ostracized. The traitors of the black race in the course of time will not be handled so gently; sooner or later they will be turned on by their brothers in blood and torn to pieces. 1 Gives Expert Advice on the Prevention on Disease.

A dark skin and curly hair must not be ridiculed but admired as the most precious of possessions. Their baby eyes must behold with pleasure the pictures of Frederick Douglass, Crispus Attucks, Sojourner Truth, Bookre Washington and other notable Negroes. In their childhood they should read the history of the Negro while they are studying American history in the schools. Studiously, parents must see that their children have the proper respect for black men and women, so that they might be free when they become men and women. As a race, we have never fully appreciated the value of propaganda. We read and accept what other people say about us. Sometimes we say it is not true. But it is a fact that what we read affects us whether consciously or unconsciously. While we might publicly deny the truthfulness of certain statements, often, down in our hearts we agree with what has been written. The 'fact that most Negroes are slaves is due to the success of the white man's propaganda. It is going to require a whole lot of hard work and incessant labor to offset it. And unless we buy the crop of beautiful, unsuspecting slaves who will damn everything that is black and admire everything that is white. THE The Grist Mill By PATRICK B. PRESCOTT, JR. 1.—Hall The Alabama Baptists. 2.—Mrs. Hagenow, 82, Gets 14 Years. 3.—Lothrop Stoddard Breaks Loose Again. There seems to be an awakening even in Alabama. They thought that the Klan was a great thing down there as long as it inflicted its lawlessness on colored citizens. But when the Klan began taring white men and clogging white girls that was too much for the best citizenry. They had to erase, not only in protest, but in a war of extermination. And it took as a right, after thirty days, dumphum. For aside from the vigorous prosecutions of the attorney-general nowcomes the flat-fooed stand of the Alabama Baptist Convention, which bravely denounced the evil of the mask and lash in Alabama. "Thus far," says the resolution, which was unanimously adopted, "Alabama has kept her 1927 no-lynching record unbroken. But it would be far better if we could say that the state has been free from mob violence in general. The lashings are just as outrageous in their flaunting of personal rights and their defiance of established justice as lynchings. "We believe that the Christian men and women of this state must repudiate publicly all acts of masked violence and must openly uphold the delegated peace officers among us. Punishment outside the law is anarchy, a flagrant denial of all law." It will be remembered that the six officers who led the masked marauders to the firing of the latest victim was a Baptist minister. It is mighty good to see that his denination has come out openly and repudiated all sympathy and support of any such dastardly crimes. But the curious thing is that the People of Alabama are just waking up to the fact that they were in for an orgy of crime. What is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander. Whip black and it will be only a matter of a few days before they whip white. It is an inevitable law. Law-breaking is a habit. It cannot be directed against one set of people alone. It might start out with the avowed purpose of directing its activities against just certain people. But as soon as it starts going good against them, there develops a feeling of general lawlessness in the persecutors. They think that if they can dominate an unprotected minority then they should be able to punish and control them. Offended people from thing to another it goes, always growing. Finally it is turned against the very people who started it. The only way to stop it is to stamp it out at the roots. The action of the Alabama Baptist Convention will go a long way toward creating sentiment toward that end. These people are to be congratulated. * * * Mrs. Anna Hagencov was convicted of performing an illegal operation and was sentenced to fourteen years in the penitentiary. She was eighty-two years old. "Lefty" Lewis, whom eight眼 witnesses swore shot and killed Braverman, was acquitted. He is thirty-two years old. Mrs. Laganow is one of the few women in Cook County ever to be convicted of murder. Yet everybody knows that she did not set out to kill that girl. She set out criminally to violate the law. And in so doing, she was guilty of the consequences of her deed. But that even is somewhat different from deliberately setting out to kill without mercy. Most of the recent lady killers, it seems, fall into this latter class. But they all have been acquitted. Of course, Mrs. Trepanier was found guilty away back in the war period. A man had deliberately taken a miniature of hers to be reproduced. It was all she had of worth. He refused to give it back to her. There was no sex question. She was old and sixty. The jury gave her life. Mrs. Nitti was forty and ugly. They sentenced her to death. The Supreme Court gave her a new trial and she was acquitted. Grandna Nusbaum was past seventy and while there were lurid sex details, she was too old to reach her jury. They gave her life. And she got it. Mrs. Cassler weighed over three hundred pounds. Not so good for the defense. The jury gave her the rope. Now course, Mrs. Hagenow. She gets fourteen years. She should be out of time to celebrate her ninetieth or so birthday. She was convicted on the dying statement of the girl alone. The girl named the doctor who tried to help her. But the refused to name the man who was the cause of it all. The law should be enforced. But how does it happen that only the bedraggled women who come before juries get their medicine? There is something radically wrong about juries that punish homely, old women and let pretty young women, lawyers, go free. The law should be enforced to all alike. Some of the drastic reform's advocated by Judge Kavanaugh should be instituted to bring this abut. ```markdown ``` Lothrop Stoddard wrote "The Rising Tide of Color." It created a furore. Now he seeks to create another such furore by writing "The Impasse at the Color Line." He gets all worked up because a. Er. Alain Locke makes a simple and perfectly natural appeal for racial fair play. Mr. Stoddard says that there will be no yielding of the color line. He says that Americans are willing to shed their blood before they yield. He says that he speaks as a rock-ribbed New Englander of considerable background. Well it only proves what was strongly suspected when he wrote his first un-immature book on the color question. He is talking about. And if he keeps up his insane on the subject. Many Stoddards have gone before. But the color line yields just the same. It will continue to yield. And if Mr. Stoddard would investigate life more and write less he would come to that conclusion. TOWN PERSPECTIVES Don Pierson JUST FROM THE SOUTH Six months ago she came to Chicago —the land of her dreams. Young vi- rant, pulsating. The thrill of life, she sheer joy of living coursing madly through her veins. On the threshold Then came disillusionment. Bitter tear. Sheepless nights. Sorrows. Pray- ers. John just couldn't afford to mar- ry right now but he would let her share his room to help her until she could get a job. Indignantly refusing at first, sheerness led her to accept, when letters entrusted to John to dispatch, brought no answer. All day long she slaved for a pittance. Half the night she spent in tearful penitence for her life of shame, the remaining hours in stark sleepess terror of the brute beside her Night after night passed until the bloom faded from her cheeks, stark tragedy stalked always in the depths of her eyes. One night John came home early. He was tender and considerate—albeit a trifle abashed, seeming unable to look the woman whom he professed to love in the eye. Blurting it out like a schoolboy, he told her of the wonderful things that would come to her if she would follow his directions. Meritful darkness enveloped her as she recovered in faint. When she recovered, John was gone. A night and day of terrified helplessness. Her master returned. Drunk, Belligerent. Foul-mouthed. Threatening. The crushed spirit of the girl flared. She sprang to the door to escape as the light of the killer came in his eyes at her defiance. But John, raging, maniacal, barred her path. The stick grasped in his hand was lifted. A searing pain shot through her body as she screamed for help. The passion of the man who mercilessly drove home blow after blow was increased a hundred times by her feeble cries. At last, the stern hand of the law was felt. John had violated even a bully's code—beaten a woman. Yesterday I strolled again into the police station. "Well, Sarge, everything's quiet on Potomac, eh?" "Oh, yeah, nothing doing but—say listen, you remember that girl that drunken bimbo beat nearly to death with a broom handle?" Sure you do—well, we found her in the lake this morning. Here's a note she left. "Dear John: I wrote a letter to the high sheriff and told him I caused it all by trying to cut you. Don't try to find me—you can't. Mary. And somehow I got the nation that even in the judgment John won't find her. EDITOR'S MAIL operation with professional man of cur group.

Now, under 'Remarks' do you want mine or do you want Casey's?" And who is this Shuracelew whom everybody seems to have lost his head about? Drummond, thou who alone hast failed to praise her lovliness, thou knowest not what heavenly charm is hers. Lo, she is the infinite beauty o all art modeled by the hand of the Master into a finite conception for the vification of the vulgar eyes of man. We saw her last night — moved toward her — took her small smooth hand in ours. "Damsel," said we. "O thou enchanting goddess before whom Venus herself must suck in envious silence — only allow these common lips to press thy lips, and thus enable us to control this simple aching heart." We would have said more but at this point our wife interrupted and said: "O vise soundrel, unfaithful brute, double-dealing villain, would press thy lying lips to a hand? Behold, I will press a hand to thy lips." And straightway she slaped us in the mouth and led us, thus humiliated, away by our ear. And yet only to hear the silver laughter with which Shurazelle commented on this whole episode were sufficient to understand all the pain it brought to body, and soul.

The thrill of life, the sheer joy of living coursing madly through hre veins. On the threshold of the city, she paused. The panorama of the home of her dreams lay at her feet. She loved it all, the parks, the busy congested streets, the smoky murky darkness of the manufacturing district. She Chicago. As she turned from her survey of the sky-line, her eyes again lighted up. She greet her fiance for whose sake and at whose invitation she had left her modest home in the southland. Her first Sunday in the city was a "perfect" day. A song was on her lips Smiling, bright-eyed, cheerful. With all the gay, care-free light-heartedness of youth, she wended her way to the church where the same minister who preached to her down at the home-town had accepted a call. A bit awned by the impressive air of the ushers in cut-aways and the stiff cold air of the attendants, she felt again at home as the minister who had christened her began to talk. Eagerly she hung upon his words, Services over, she joined the mad rush to clasp the hand of the speaker. What a surprise for him, she thought, he doesn't know I'm here. At last she reached the side of the venerable man her town in general and her family in particular had idolized. "Ei—Ya-a-s. Sister, what's the name? Oh, ya-a-s. ya-a--a-as. I think I do remember. Sister Horn, take this young lady in charge and tell her of our great wu-u-r-rik." Hurt beyond expression, dazed at her casual greeting accorded her by the man to whom the hospitality of her home had always been cheerfully given, she stifled a sob and fled to the dreary boarding house that she was now calling home. A Bible, the parting gife of her mother lay at her head that evening as she gazed, wide-cyed, at the ceiling. The voice of a blues-singer broke the solemn stillness, Raucous, Rasping. Grating the already unstrung nerves of the girl. Another. Then the third, all playing the same strident blues. A knock at her door. Her fiance came in. Eagerly she told him—her only friend and confidant in the big city of her horrible experience of the war. "Never you mind though John," she said, "will find another church."
