LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Compiled at Tuskegee Institute in the Department of Records and Research VOL. XXIX. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Dec. 31, 1922. Editor of Colorado Statesman: Dear Sir—I send you the following concerning lynchings for the past year as compiled at Tuskegee Institute in the Department of Records and Research, Monroe N. Work in charge. I find, not including those killed in strikes, riots, etc., that there were 57 persons lynched in 1922. This is 7 less than the number 64 for the year 1921. Thirty of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law; 13 from jails, and 17 from officers of the law outside of jails. I also find that there were 58 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Fourteen of these instances were in Northern states and 44 were in Southern states. In 54 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards were augmented, or other precautions taken. In the 4 other instances, armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In 10 instances, convictions carrying penitentiary sentences were secured against alleged lynchers. Of the 57 persons lynched in 1922, 51 were Negroes and 6 were whites; 19, or one-third, of those put to death were charged with rape or attempted rape; 6 of the victims were burned to death; 4 were put to death and then their bodies burned. The charges against those burned to death were murder, 2; rape, 4. The offenses charged against the whites were: Murder, 2; fighting, 1; charges not reported, 3. The offenses charged against the Negroes were: Murder, 9; murderous assault, 4; rape, 14; attempted rape, 5; killing officer of the law, 3; horse stealing, 2; being intimate with woman, 2; no special charge, 2; killing man in altercation, 1; striking man in quarrel, 1; robbing and striking a woman, 1; cattle stealing, 1; using insulting language, 1; for being a strike breaker, 1; mistaken identity, 2; indecent exposure of person and frightening woman and children, 1; intimidating officer of the law, 1. The nine states in which lynchings occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Alabama, 2; Arkansas, 5; Florida, 5; Georgia, 11; Louisiana, 3; Mississippi, 9; Oklahoma, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 2; Texas, 18. R. R. MOTON, Principal. Elks' Head Wouldn't Stand for Gambling Elks' Head Wouldn't Stand for Gambling Newark, N. J.—Alexander Braithwaite, exalted ruler of Pride of Newark Lodge, Order of Elks, was given a vote of commendation and thanks for his action in calling in police officers and having gambling paraphernalia removed from the Elks' Home after he had appealed in vain to Nicholas Sprattley, chairman, and William Mitchell, secretary of the house committee. Sprattley and Mitchell preferred charges against the exalted ruler, but when Mr. Braithwaite appeared at the home on Thursday night to defend himself, neither of the accusers put in an appearance. The charges were dismissed and the exalted ruler's action endorsed. It has created much comment that on Saturday night following this meeting, the Citizens' Colored Club at 45 Arlington street was raided by members of the vice squad of the police, who charge that they found a dice game in progress. Among those taken as prisoners was Nicholas Spratley of 112 East Kinney street, who was held on an additional charge of concealed weapons, a revolver being found in his pocket. Frank Mulford, 34 Arlington street, was held on charge of maintaining a gambling house. BLIND MAN MADE WEALTHY BY OIL LANDS BLIND MAN MADE WEALTHY BY OIL LANDS Destitute Before, Wright Rock of Louisiana Becomes Near-Millionaire Over Night Shreveport, La., Dec. 20.—Sitting in the blackness of eternal night, for many years ago he lost the sight of both eyes, Wright Rock of De Soto parish, 75 years old, on whose land oil was discovered recently, takes calmly the sudden change in his fortune which has elevated him to the ranks of the financially independent. "Uncle Wright" is of the old school and hardly realizes that the two Rock wells in section 32-12-11 completed as large oil wells on his farm by A. H. Tarver, white, are bringing him daily more money than he ever hoped to make as a return from the truck of his little farm. He is the father of fifteen children, all but two of whom long ago left the paternal roof. "I guess they'll come back now,' he said simply. When informed of his wealth upon completion of the first well, and asked what he was going to do with the money, the old man replied: "Well, I guess I'll just buy me a few clothes and sumphin' for to eat." Besides the original lease money which he received for the eighty-acre tract on which the Tarver wells are located, the aged ex-slab receives a one-eighth royalty from the production and other wells will be drilled, it is said. The wells already producing are making an aggregate of 2,500 barrels. Abyssinia Sends Precious Stones to King Albert Abyssinia Sends Precious Stones to King Albert Brussels, Belgium, Dec. 29.—A number of costly gifts, including a set of harness mounted in gold and precious stones, have been presented to King Albert by Ras Tafuri, regent of Abyssinia. Among the gifts were also many shields and sabers, one of the shields formerly belonging to Emperor Menelik and used by him at the battle of Adowa. Similar gifts were sent from Abyssinia to the late Emperor Nicholas of Russia when he recognized Abyssinian independence. HON. WILLIAM A. DOLLISON BECOMES U. S. MARSHAL M. H. WITH impressive ceremonies William A. Dollison, for several years clerk of the Denver District Court, took the oath of office as U. S. Marshal for the Colorado district Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock. He was sworn in by Judge J. Foster Symes of the United States District Court in the judicial chambers. As a fitting preliminary to this ceremony, Mr. Dollison was summoned to appear before all the judges of the Denver District Court last Saturday and sentenced "to be the lifelong recipient of the friendship of every man and woman present." After passing sentence, Judge Julian H. Moore presented Mr. Dollison with a handsome black walrus hide suit case fitted with a thoroughly equipped traveling case. Resolutions, unanimously adopted by the District Court judges sitting en banc also were read in appreciation of Dollison's four years of faithful service. It was a rare honor and bestowed upon one justly deserving. During the ceremony attendant upon his taking the oath of office Wednesday morning the room was filled with a crowd of representative citizens, judges, lawyers, state house and federal officials. Among those present at the ceremony were Judge Robert E. Lewis of the Federal Court of Appeals; Secretary of State Carl Milliken; Arthur Stong, State Auditor; Judge Dunklee, recently elected to the District Judship; Harry Raymond, who has been appointed clerk of the District Court of Denver, to succeed Dollison; Judge Clarence J.

NEWS The passing of the old year and the coming of the new year was fittingly celebrated in the churches of our city. Both churches rendered an excellent program. Members of our group from every walk in life assembled and with prayer and thanks honored God for benefits derived from the old year and a hope for continued love and prosperity. The A. M. E. Church program was arranged by Rev. W. T. Thornton. Mrs. James Smith and Mrs. Thornton rendered songs. Miss Elaine Gaskin's paper, "Memories of 1922," was noteworthy. Mrs. Robt Rhone, a trombone solo. Mrs. Wm. Ashford's speech in behalf of the stewards and membership was a speech characteristic of one who endeavors to build church pride. Mrs. C. J. Tolliver spoke in behalf of the stewardesses and admonished the women to build on a high plane, devotion to God, church work so interesting that others will be ever ready to enter service. Rev. Thornton implored his hearers to avoid the mistakes of the past and build better during the new year for a better life. The program at the Second Baptist Church was one long to be remembered by the congregation assembled. At the hour appointed the church was well filled and later there was not standing room. The church membership was there 99 per cent strong. The "sinner men" and "sinner women" were there represented as has not been known for a decade of years. Who said we have sinners who refuse to come to church? Such is not true, if said about those who attended the Second Baptist Church on New Year's eve. Those young men and women are mindful of the good teaching of their youth. They may not live just the life they have been instructed to live. None of us are perfect. No, not one! But they honored God and they honored their father and mother on New Year's eve and deep in their minds they thought of better lives, and with God's help a cheerful word from those who love humanity, those who were not church members will understand. Churches were built in which to worship God. The sinner is welcomed home. Rev. Fairly took his text from Joshua 1st chap., 2nd verse: "Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, emen to the children of Israel." And what text could have been more appropriate for the occasion? He preached the funeral of the old year: he christened the infant new year. Into the grave of the old year he strew the ashes of forgetfulness and crossed Jordan on the wings of hope, love and mercy. Rev, S. S. Fairly is a builder, spiritually, morally and civic, he is a builder. The Christians love him and the sinner respects him. He has work here to do. The Christians will help him; the sinner will applaud. God will welcome the Christian. God will have mercy upon the sinful souls. At 12:15 a. m. in the new year 1923, the pastor and members of the Second Baptist Church opened a $1,000 drive to make needed repairs on the church. In the space of ten minutes $485 was pledged and $75 collected. Needless to state the $1,000 will be pledged and paid in sixty days. Members of our group will give willingly and bountifully. Mrs. Helen Weinberg of Kansas City passed through en route to Los Angeles. Mrs. Francis Bowman of Pueblo, Colo., is a guest at the Davis hotel. Mr. Chas Johnson of Chicago is a visitor in Cheyenne. During the recent visit of Presiding Elder J. M. Endicott to our city he was welcomed by his many friends. On Dec. 20th, at a meeting of the Civic League, Rev. Endicott was Introduced by Rev. S. S. Fairly, who stated this community had learned to love Rev. Endicott as only a few men could be loved. Rev. Endicott responded in his usual refreshing manner, stated he was very glad to have the opportunity to again listen to the able discussions of the association. "We are learning the fact that we must improve mankind of this race. The fathers of this generation should be race men train- NO.12. Predicts Racial Peace Within Few Generations Predicts Racial Peace Within Few Generations Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 29.—"Within five generations there will be an end to friction between the white and colored races in this country," said Dr. George E. Haynes of the race-relations committee of the Federal Council of Churches in opening the discussion on behalf of the Negro delegates. "If the present growth of racial understanding continues the power of mutual interests and genuine good feeling will not leave an atom of race friction in the United Statcs." Negro members of the executive committee were given perfect equality with the ministers and bishops of the white churches during the three-day conference here. High tribute of the report of the Chicago race commission was paid by Dr. Haynes. Chicago Race Riot Cost Over $500,000 Chicago, Dec. 27.—The 1919 race riots will cost Chicago more than $500,000 in addition to its share of the expense in maintaining 6,000 state troops nine days, it was estimated today. Eighteen death claims, aggregating $81,000, were approved yesterday by City Council's finance committee. The city previously had paid $20,800 for five other deaths and fifteen claims remain unsettled. Property damage was not included in the $500,000 estimate. ing the rising generation to come upon a higher plane of usefulness. Better social conditions. Guard the morals of the race. Civilization without Christianity is a failure." Rev. Endicott's address was lengthy and instructive. He also praised the work and usefulness of the Cheyenne Civic League of Colored People. Honorable Richard Henderson and Mr. Sam Bard are employed in superintendent's office of Wyoming division U. P. R. R. The Ladies' Searchlight Club entertained friends at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry McCormack, 923 West Twenty-seventh street. Mrs. Harper of Eaton, Colo., was a visitor at the home of her son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Saunders. Frontier Lodge No. 285, I. B. P. O. E. W., entertained friends at the hall Jan. 1 from 8 to 12 p. m. Refreshments were served. It was an evening of enjoyment and will not be forgotten by those who were fortunate to attend. Singing and dancing was the feature of the evening. The guests departed with the best wishes for a Happy New Year. Mr. Harry Green and Miss Rosabelle Knight, Mr. James McCormack and Miss Elizabeth Horn were conspicuous by graceful dancing at the Elks entertainment. The young people of our group are overjoyed at the clean social affairs given by Frontier Lodge. Officers and members of Frontier Lodge are complimented for courtesy extended to our citizens. The Statesman's wish is a Happy New Year to all. Mrs. Horn is ill at her home, 922 W. Nineteenth street. Mrs. H. G. Reed and daughter are visiting relatives and friends in Texas. FOREIGN Fire in the municipality of Navotas, a suburb of Manila, destroyed 400 Nipa shacks, leaving 2,000 natives homeless. Death at the hands of a firing squad will be meted out soon in Warsaw to Niewadomski, the assassin of President Narutowlez. The Nippon Kinyu Sha, Ltd., a savings bank of Vancouver, which closed owing depositors $264,000, had $500 capital, it was disclosed in court proceedings. It was stated that assets were about $209,000. Nine men were killed when a fort near Trent, Italy, blew up a few days ago. The accident was caused by the accidental explosion of a shell which set off the other ammunition. Debris from the demolished fort was scattered for miles around. A vigorous forty-eight-hour investigation revealed that Grover Cleveland and Bergdoll of Philadelphia, millionaire draft dodger, who was reported to be trying to make his way into the United States disguised as a sailor, has not been seen at his former home in Eberbach for two months. A great roving band of hungry timber wolves has devoured three men, according to *nager reports* sifting in from the snow-covered trails of the Sturgeon river country in Ontario. These reports told of a losing battle fought by two Indians after a white trapper had been downed and killed. Sarah Bernhardt's condition continues to improve, it has been announced. Coincident with the improvement in the actress' condition, her aged butler, Arthur, who has been with her for forty-five years, has become seriously ill. He was stricken with pneumonia as a result of his long night vigils to attend Madame Bernhardt's needs. The dress rehearsal of Bacha Guitry's new play, in which Sarah Bernhardt was to have had a part, took place with Henrietta Roggers taking the role originally assigned to the great star. Madame Bernhardt declared that she would surely appear to take her part, but the recent turn for the worse noted in her condition has made her appearance out of the question. The thirtieth Congress expired recently in Mexico City in a turbulent session in which pistols were drawn and challenges to duels were made. Violent invectives were employed and physical encounters were barely averted. The feud between the Co-operatistas and the Partido Liberal Constitutionalists broke out and the opposite sides of the chamber exchanged personalities. No one seemed to be concerned with several important bills, which failed to pass. George Prieto Laurens, youthful leader of the Co-operatistas, and Israel Del Castillo, deputy from Caxaca, became extremely personal and had their pistols unlimbered for action when friends interfered. GENERAL Col. Rufus. H. Lane was nominated by President Harding to be adjutant and inspector of marine corps, with the rank of brigadier general. Appointment of Francis R. Wadleigh as federal fuel distributor to succeed Conrad E. Spens, who retired Jan. 1, was announced at the White House. The appointment of Edward E. Kock as regional coal representative for the northwest region of the Pennsylvania railroad system was announced in Chicago by Vice President J. G. Rodgers. Motor cars and trucks killed 1,092 persons in New York state in 1922, it was shown in the annual report of the National Highway Protective Society. Of these, 860 met their deaths on the streets of New York city. A robber held up Mrs. Katherine Donovan, head bookkeeper of the Palmer House, Chicago, famous old hostelry of World's Fair days, knocked her unconscious and escaped with from $5,000 to $10,000 of the hotel's funds. After shooting his wife and then himself, Louis Watkins of Springfield, Ill, overcome by remorse at sight of her prostrate dy, bound up her shattered arm and stopped bleeding artery, thereby saving her life. Both will live. The woman "bookmaker" has appeared in New Orleans, according to the police. Mrs. Edward Clay was surprised in her husband's tailoring shop taking bets on horses, officers said. "I was just taking the bets for my brother," Mrs. Clay admitted, the police allege. Formal charges were lodged against her. Two gifts of $7,125,000 each to the College of Medicine, University of Iowa, one from the general education board and the other from the Rockefeller Foundation, have been announced by President W. A. Jessup of the university, through W. R. Boyd, chairman of the finance committee of the State Board of Education. The money will be used to build a hospital and laboratory and to equip them, it was announced. The next session of the Iowa Legislature will be asked to appropriate $450,000 annually for the next five years to make the entire amount for the hospital $4,500,000. Principals of the I. W. W. and their alleged efforts to organize oil field workers in the section of Breckrenridge, Texas, where they are said to have about 600 members, were condemned in resolutions adopted by the local post of the American Legion of Breckrenridge. Payment of $1 a day to all men and women who have reached the age of 70 without having accumulated enough to provide for themselves was advocated by Frank E. Hering, chairman of the old age pension commission of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR EIGN COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN William E. Dixon liked Long Beach. He often said he hated to die and leave it and he made funeral plans accordingly. In compliance with his request, his ashes were taken in an airplane 2,000 feet above the business district and cast into the air. Discovery of "a cabin in a lonely canon near Los Angeles," where Mrs. Clara Phillips, "hammer murderess," who escaped from the Los Angeles county jail Dec. 5, "concealed herself for at least four days," after the jail break, was announced at the sheriff's office recently. Fred Hackett, racing automobile driver, was fatally injured at the Alamorio track, near Brawley, Calif., when his car turned turtle just after it spurted into second place at the close of a speed contest. His mechanician, A. W. Hale, was seriously injured, but will recover. Sheriff Larry Duggan has offered a reward of $200 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever placed dynamite on a window sill at Hibernia hall, Butte, Mont., while a New Year eve dance was in progress, the fumes of the burning fuse giving warning so the bomb was hurled from the building before explosion. A report was received by the sheriff's office at Marshfield, Ore., that Mrs. L. A. Perrie, 40, was choked to death at her home near Myrtle Point, Ore., by her husband, a rancher, who then killed James Culver, a neighbor, who had attempted to interfere in Mrs. Perrie's behalf. Perrie, said to have been crazed by liquor, is reported to have fought off another neighbor who sought to overpower him, killed three dogs and fled from the ranch. Eight union men convicted by a jury in Los Angeles, Dec. 20, of conspiracy to obstruct interstate commerce, in connection with the abandonment of Santa Fe passenger trains on the desert east of Los Angeles last August, were fined a total of $9,800 in United States District Judge Benjamin Bledsoe's court. The court characterized the actions of the defendants as "inexcusable and unjustifiable." WASHINGTON In the course of debate in the Senate, Senator Lodge announced to the Senate that he was "authorized to say" on behalf of President Harding that the administration is stanchly opposed to any cancellation of war debts. Admission into this country of a number of Russian farmer peasants, exiled from Russia and now held in detention camps in Germany, is being sought by northwestern interests to furnish farm labor and colonists. Senate warfare over the Borah proposal for a world economic conference reached a dramatic turning point recently when President Harding threw the full force of the administration against Senator Borah's plan as contained in an amendment to the naval appropriations bill and, in a letter read in the Senate, virtually asked for its defeat. The West wants President Harding to look to it to supply the successor to Secretary of Interior Albert B. Fall of New Mexico whose resignation, announced officially, will become effective March 4. However, the West has not yet brought forth its candidate. The Brotherhood National Bank of Spokane was granted a charter by the comptroller of the currency according to word received by organizers of the institution. Capitalized at $200,000, it will be organized by local members of the sixteen railroad brotherhoods, it was stated. A challenge to opponents of Henry Ford's proposal to take over the Muscle Shoals project to put forward a better offer was made by Representative McKenzie, Republican, Illinois, acting chairman of the military affairs committee, which considered the plan in an extension of remarks inserted in the Congressional Record. Mr. McKenzie insisted that the Ford offer would produce fertilizer for the farmer, and denied that acceptance would mean that only one-tenth of the power developed at Muscle Shoals would be used for manufacturing fertilizer products. The nomination of Walter L. Cohen, New Orleans negro, to be comptroller of the port of New Orleans, which has been opposed by Senators Ransdell and Broussard of Louisiana was considered briefly by the Senate commerce committee.

S. sbury to be postmaster at Montrose, and Ira R. Wood at Ramah, Colo. LOOKING IN ON THE LEGISLATURE By Randolph Cook Colorado's gov ernment is divided into three parts. There is the Legislative Department, which enacts the laws, and consists of the Senate, of thirty-five members, and the House of Representatives, of sixty-five members. The Judicial Department, which interprets the laws. The judicial powers PETER M. of the state are vested in the justices of the peace, the county, district, and supreme courts, and "such other courts as may be provided by law," which are the police courts, and the juvenile courts. The third department is the Executive, and consists of the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Auditor, Attorney General, and the Superintendent of Public Instruction. All of these persons are elected for a two-year term. The Governor is the most powerful of all state officials, since the supreme authority of the state is vested in him. In his oath, he is charged to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed." He is commander-in-chief of the State Militia, makes many appointments, may remove officials for cause, exercises the pardoning power, offer rewards for the capture of criminals, and has the veto power. He must address the Assembly on the condition of the commonwealth, and recommend legislation. But this series of articles will deal especially with the legislative branch of our government, and to that we will give attention. The House of Representatives has a membership of sixty-five, apportioned among the various counties of the state; from its membership, on convening, a presiding officer is chosen, known as the Speaker, and who has a vote on all matters, the same as other members on the floor. In the Senate the Lieutenant Governor presides. The duty of the General Assembly is to enact laws for the good of the people, though all revenue bills must originate in the House. Laws on taxes, control of corporations, and those relating to public health and safety, give an idea of the work of the Assembly. All laws enacted must be in harmony with the national and state constitutions; no law relating to a local, or special, case may be enacted, since, in such cases, the principles of general law are supposed to apply. In these articles the terms "bill" and "law" will be used; a "bill" is the form of a proposed law, presented to the Assembly; after it is enacted, it becomes a law, and remains so until repealed, amended, or declared unconstitutional. The restrictions on passing bills are as follows: Bills, to become laws, must be introduced the first fifteen days of the session, except the appropriation bill; must relate to one topic only, and that must be stated in the title; must be then referred to the proper committee, returned therefrom, and then printed for the use of the members; must be read, on different days, in each house; and a majority vote is necessary to their passage. The bill must be signed by the presiding officer in each house, in the presence of the members. If the Governor vetoes a bill, it must be returned to the House in which it originated, reconsidered, and if it is passed again by a two-thirds vote of the House wherein it originated, it is sent to the other body; if it there receives a like majority, it becomes a law without the Governor's signature. In this introductory article, we have dealt with matters of civil government, largely; before our next appears, the Legislature will be getting down to business, and we will have something interesting for our readers; and to all, we extend an invitation to sit under our study lamp, and watch the building of a Greater Colorado, in the shadow of whose massive mountains, fertile prairies, and wondrous sunsets, it is a pleasure to live. $100,000 Fire in Greeley. Greeley, Colo.—Greeley was visited by two of the most destructive destructive fires in the history of the city several days ago. The first Christian church and the H. H. Harbaugh Shoe Company building are in ruins.

The total damage of the two fires is close to $100,000. Chicago Spends $6,000,000 New Year's Chicago.—Chicago spent $6,000,000 ushering in the New Year, according to figures prepared, based on returns from seven of the largest hotels and six of the leading cafés.

A second prize of $15, and a third of $10 will also be awarded. The prizes are payable in gold coin. Loveland.—The boys of the Loveland boys band are to have a bass horn that is twenty-four years old. The horn, a handsome tuba used in the Philippines during the Spanish-American war, has been offered to the boys by F. O. Palmer of Myton, Utah, who carried it through several war engagements. It bears the noblest of decorations—two bullet holes received while it bearer was under fire. Because of the excellence of the Loveland boys band, which has gained nation-wide fame and publicity under the management of Reed Hayward, the horn was offered to them. Mr. Hayward, a prominent Loveland lumber dealer, has taken a deep interest in boys' work, and has been instrumental in the building up of the band to its present high state of fame and efficiency. Denver.—Mayor Bailey and the Denver Civic and Commercial Association jointly will extend a banquet to the newspaper editors of the state on Friday evening, Jan. 19, during the annual convention of the Colorado Editorial Association in Denver.

There will be addresses also by Governor Shoup, Governor-elect Sweet and Mayor Bailey. Pueblo.—The rail mills of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company at Pueblo will resume operation after a shutdown of several months, members of the company have announced.

Thimmig of Wellington and her 15-year-old daughter, Erma, are in the Fort Collins hospital suffering from injuries received when the car in which they with Mr. Thimmig and two sons were riding was crowded over an embankment on the road north of Fort Collins at night by another car which failed to dim its bright lights. Fort Collins.—For the third year in succession the water rentals for the year have been collected 100 per cent for the close of the year's books in the city clerk's office. Clerk A. J.

THE HORSE Grave Openers Indicted by Georgia Grand Jury Undertakers Who Transferred Bodies From Expensive Caskets to Pine Boxes Held Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 21.—Ware was indicted by grand jury this week. He gave as his reason the fact that he had an understanding with certain families to bury their deceased in expensive caskets for show and later open the graves and transfer the bodies to less expensive caskets. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 23.—The Fulton county grand jury Tuesday morning is to investigate the alleged wholesale robbery of graves in South View Cemetery by S. F. Ware, proprietor of the Atlanta Undertaking Company, and Claude Maddox and Thurman Jones, all colored, whom he is alleged to have employed to disinter the bodies of dead and turn the coffins over to his company for re-sale. A subpoena has been issued, directing Attorney Roy S. Drennan to produce before the grand jury all the records and books of the undertaking company which, according to officers investigating the case, he seized and carried off, blocking their efforts to trace several alleged stolen caskets. The graves of many dead colored people were opened Monday under the supervision of Lieutenant Jordan, white, of the county police. Several were found to contain dead bodies that had been shifted from the coffins into the pine boxes that originally contained the coffins. In one instance the officers found that the body of Solomon Jackson, who was buried October 1, 1922, was enclosed in a casket originally sold to nancy Joyce and in which she was buried September 9, 1922, according to the officers. This robbery was uncovered in the confession of Thurman Jones, who claims that Jones identified the coffins which contained Jackson's body as the one he had dug up and removed from the grave of the Boyce woman. Jones' confession further led to the finding of the bodies of Laura Perry and Anna Battle in pine boxes in the graves without caskets. The Perry woman was buried December 8, 1922. while the Battle woman's body was buried November 27, 1922. According to the confession, the officers state they have from Jones, six graves have been robbed by him and graves have been robbed by him and have been located by the officers, and they believe the sixth will be found when the Atlanta Undertaking Company's records are surrendered to them. A large crowd of colored people viewed the disinterment of bodies in the South View Cemetery Monday by the officers. Loud sobbing could be heard as the dead bodies were unearned and found to be enclosed in nothing but pine boxes. $95,000 CHRISTMAS FUND.

ALL NIGHT PARTIES THE SEA SON'S RAGE. Denver society took on a new st this year by series of all night part that were declared most enjoyable every way. Among those deserving special mention were given Mrs. Mae Burns, Mrs. Mae Johnson, Dr. a Mrs. E. G. Woods and a delightful fair at the residence of Mr. and M. Victor B. Walker given by seve If subscribers order a discontinuance of their papers, the publisher may continue to send the paper until the bill is paid. If a subscriber continues to take the paper from the postoffice to which they are directed, he is responsible until he settles his bill and orders the paper discontinued sent to his address. If a subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the paper is sent to the former address, the subscriber is held responsible." The courts have held that refusing to take the paper from the postoffice, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia evidence of intention to defraud. If subscribers pay in advance they are in duty bound to give notice at the end of the time, if they don't wish to continue taking it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it and the subscriber will be held responsible until express notice and payment of all arrearances is sent to the publisher. The Fairbanks Café after being closed several days on account of death in the family, will open Sunday as usual for business. Miss Lolecta Johnson of 2452 Gilpin street, asked fourteen of her friends in Thursday afternoon to meet a charming holiday visitor, Miss Mignon Carter, of Oakley, Kan. At the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Curtis last Sunday afternoon, eight of their friends were the happy guests to a dinner of fine appointments. Mrs. Lula Gudgell, Associate Grand Matron of Prince Hall Grand Chapter of Kansas and Jurisdiction, is the house guest of Mrs. Amanda Douglass, 1635 Pennsylvania street for the holidays. A birthday surprise was given Mr. D. A. Finley on Monday, New Year's night, at his home, 2819 Glipin. The surprise was arranged by his wife, and thirty guests enjoyed the hospitality of the hostess. Cards and music were the feature of the evening, after which a buffet lunch was served. Guests departed wishing Mr. Finley many returns of the day. Misses Isabel Jenkins, Myra Glenn, Marceels Parsons, Alberta and Florence Hickman, returned to their school duties at the State Teachers College at Greeley Tuesday afternoon, following a very pleasant holiday visit with friends and relatives. Many beautiful social functions were given in their honor while in the city. Mrs. Maggie Johnson, 2818 Glenarm Place, left Denver Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 2, for Chicago, Ill., where she goes to visit her sister, who resides in the Windy City. Mrs. Johnson plans to return to Denver on or about March 1. While away she will visit Detroit, Mich., Cleveland, O., and other eastern cities. Her many Denver friends wish her a safe arrival, a profitable stay and a safe return to the "Mile High City." Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin C. Curtis of 2521 Clarkson street were host to a beautiful dinner party last Thursday evening when the happy recipients of such a delightful feast proclaimed them among the leading social entertainers of our city. The following guests shared the enjoyment of their hospitality: Mesdames Don Reeves, Joseph Rivers, Bud Turner, A. Jones, Chas. Britton, Miss Arula Cole and Messrs. Reeves, Turner, James, Britton, Rivers. The table decorations were of a special order, the center piece consisting of carnations and sweet peas, and after a real old social enjoyment the guests departed with honors for their host. FIRE!

Denver society took on a new stunt this year by series of all night parties that were declared most enjoyable in every way. Among those deserving of special mention were given Mrs. Mable Burns, Mrs. Mae Johnson, Dr. and Mrs. E. G. Woods and a delightful affair at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Victor B. Walker given by several young ladies. Mrs. Parthenia George and Miss Eva Cammel were hostesses to a pretty buffet luncheon at which twenty-four guests assembled and inducted in cards and music till a late hour. Prizes were won by Mr. Robt. Russ, Mrs. Floyd of Cheyenne, and Mrs. Geo. W. Gross. Open doors were observed at the Phyllis Wheatly Home of the Y. W. C. A. on New Year's afternoon and a large number of Denver's social elite responded much to the delight of Miss Fairfax Richey, the popular superintendent. Dainty refreshments were served by the committee in charge. Another unusually enjoyable affair was the matinee dancing party at Fern hall from 3 to 7 on the afternoon of New Year's Day. Taking all in all the holiday season just closed was one of the most generally observed known to the history of Denver. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN In reply to the notices, Inserted in the Denver Star on Dec. 23 and Dec. 30, 1922, by Lone Star No. 15, O. E. S., and Evergreen No. 36, O. E. S., concerning the suspension of members mentioned on above dates, I publish below the reply from Grand Matron Marie Soanes of Prince Hall Grand Chapter of Kansas and Jurisdiction. GEORGE A. DERRY. NOTICE Some days ago we read from the pages of the Denver Star of Dec. 23, 1922, an account of a MOCK TRIAL with farcical judgment rendered by a faction of former members of Prince Hall Grand Chapter, O. E. S., of Kansas. The humor of the whole affair is too obvious for sober and direct reply and would be passed over with a smile were it not for the motive. It is puzzling to conceive why some of our people in this enlightened land of ours and progressive age should be so egregiously blind. When we see those professing to be guided by the ennobling principles of an order that stands above petty jealousies and whose spirit and tendencies are purely benevolent and promotive of harmony and concord, yet showing such uncharitable disposition, we are prompted to defend the sisters mentioned. The sisters are members in regular standing in the Jurisdiction of Kansas and are unaffected by any such mock tribunal. The Jurisdiction of Kansas will, as it has always done, take care of its members. (Seal) MARY SOANES, Grand Matron. Prince Hall Grand Chapter of Kansas C. M. E. CHURCH - NOTES. C. E. Chapman, Minister; Residence, 2926 Glenarm Place; Phone, Champa 4879-W. All of last Sunday's services were in keeping with the spirit of yuletide and the new year. The hour in the Sunday school was enlightening and inspiring. Sunday being the last Sunday of 1922, a review was given of the achievements of the Sunday School in 1922, and a program was launched to carry on to higher heights in 1923. At the morning hour of worship the Rev. S. M. Trimble of Oklahoma, delivered the message to a very appreciative audience. At the evening hour the Rev. C. E. Chapman, minister in charge, delivered a special message on "Glancing Backward and Looking Forward." Next Sunday there will be Sunday School at 9:45 a. m.; praise service and general class at 11 a. m.; praise service and evening worship at 7:30 p. m. Rev. C. E. Chapman will deliver a special New Year message at 7:30 p. m., subject, "The New Year." CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank our many friends for their kindness and sympathy during the hour of our sorrow, as manifested by the beautiful floral offerings in memory of our beloved sister and wife, Mrs. Charlotte Clark, who departed this life Dec. 17, 1922. MRS. J. B. THOMPSON, WILLIAM CLARK. Shoup's Messenger Wins State Place Certified by Civil Service Board as Clerk in Highway Engineer's Office. THE UNION George W. Gross, for four years messenger to Governor Shoup, will not leave the service of the state with the passing of the Shoup administration. Recently he took an examination for the place of messenger and special clerk in the office of the state highway engineer. He passed first; yesterday he was certified by the State Civil Service Commission and Tuesday he will take up his new duties. During his four years in the governor's office Gross has obtained a knowledge of state affairs and an acquaintance with the politicians of both parties which are probably more extensive than those of any other man of his race in the state. Gross came to Colorado thirty years ago following his graduation from the University of Kansas, where he was a classmate of Herbert S. Hadley of Boulder, and John A. Rush, former district attorney of Denver. He settled near Colorado Springs and for many years cultivated a fruit farm. When John E. Ramer, now minister to Nicaragua, was elected secretary of state in 1914 he selected Gross as his messenger. During Ramer's incumbency Gross moved to Denver. During Ramer's term of office Gross took an active part in the organization of the Denver Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, was elected its first president, and has served continuously as president since. During his administration the Denver Branch has become one of the first twelve in the nation in the percentage of membership based on colored population, and is noted nationally for the strength of its white membership. Governor Shoup, Senator Lawrence C. Phipps and Senator Samuel D. Nicholson are among those who have joined the organization since the election of Gross as president. $ \frac{4}{5} $ From Rocky Mountain News. Dec 31 The COLORADO STATESMAN warmly adds its word of approval to the above splendid article from the Rocky Mountain News of last Sunday. Since coming to Denver something more than eight years ago, Mr. Gross has been actively identified with nearly every move looking to the progress and upbuilding of the race. Only recently he was elected chairman of the board of directors of the powerful Denver Colored Civic Association. FUNERAL NOTICES. The Douglass Undertaking Company.

JAMSIE POPE FAIRBANKS PASSES AWAY. Gloom Cast Over City by Death of Popular Matron. After a lingering illness of several weeks, during which her life was despaired of many times, Mrs. Jamsie Fairbanks, bride of a little more than a year, was compelled to give up the fight to the grim reaper last Sunday morning. Mrs. Fairbanks was the wife of C. Victor Fairbanks, and their marriage brought together two of the most prominent and highly respected families in the West. Her death, though expected, has cast a gloom over the entire city. She leaves a devoted, sorrowing husband, a faithful father and mother, the Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Pope, and a whole host of admiring friends, who knew her as one of the sweetest Christian characters and loveable girls that ever lived in Denver. THE COLORADO STATESMAN extends its earnest sympathies to all. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank all our friends for the many acts of kindness and words of consolation during the illness and death of our beloved ones, Mrs. Jamesie Pope Fairbanks and baby. Also for the beautiful floral offerings, telegrams and letters from home and abroad. C. VICTOR FAIRBANKS AND MOTHER, MRS. NORA FAIRBANKS, REV. AND MRS. R. L. POPE. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear daughter, the late Cleo Irene Hobson, who departed this life January 7, 1921. Our dear one dwelt and moved with us But two short years ago, When in answer to the summons, She left this earthly glow For a better place— The Heav'n where all Christians hope to go, Awaiting our coming, When our time ends here below. MR. AND MRS. S. H. HOBSON. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Another year has gone! Another year's work has begun. We wish to thank all our members, friends and well-wishers for the comfort and support they have rendered us during the year just one. It was, without doubt, the hardest year we have had during the entire period of our work. In fact, we have had nothing which even approached it. To begin with, the year found many people out of employment, who were willing to lend aid but could not. In addition to that condition, a large number of our former friends and members, disappointed at our failure or inability to begin a new branch building, fell away from us, declaring they would have nothing more to do with the work until some definite movement towards a building was made. This, of course, was a mistaken position, but they were sincere in it, believing that that was the surest way to force some sort of action, which was a very sad mistake, the very opposite being the case, since our committee of management could not force the board of directors to take action until they saw the way clearly before then. In the face of all these facts we all the more sincerely thank all those who have still believed in us and stood by us, and without whose support we could not have gotten by. It is also good to know that all those who have temporarily fallen away from us are ready to come back to us as soon as conditions, in their judgment, are met. Dr. D. E. Over of Zion Baptist Church, was our speaker last Sunday afternoon, and while the address was not a set or prepared one, it is still true that seldom has he been heard to better advantage. Referring to our sixty years of emancipation, he declared that "while there are many hindrances and drawbacks to our prosperity and progress, and many shortcomings on the part of our country, yet I had rather be a citizen of this country than of any other country on the globe, for our people fare better here, and are further advanced along all lines than they are in any other country in the world." Mr. Over pointed out, however, that we should not let these things blind our eyes to many of the glaring ills that we suffer, and against which we must continue to do battle until they are righted, even though it takes us a thousand years. The Rev. Ralph M. Gilbert of Detroit, field secretary of the Negro Baptist Educational Society, will be the speaker at the meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. Mr. Gilbert, whose father was one of the great Baptist preachers, and educators of the South and East, is himself one of the ablest young ministers of his denomination. It is our hope that all our men and young men will come out and hear him. The meeting will begin at 4 o'clock.

Shoes, even more than most other articles of clothing, need to be’ aired after wearing in order to prevent the perspiration from rotting the lining. It fs a good plan, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture, In connection with its home economies work, to keep them on shoe-trees or stuffed with tissue paper, because in this way the wrinkles are forced out and the original shape is preserved. Wetting tends to spoil the appearance of shoes and to shorten their period of service; therefore overshoes should be worn in bad weather to protect the shoes. If shoes do get wet, they should be very slowly and carefully dried, for heat tends to crack the leather, It is especially important to restore the shape of wet shoes by shoe-trees or paper. stuffing, Even with the most careful drying, moisture tends to rot the threads with which a shoe {s sewn, and “an ounce of pre- vention is worth a pound of cure.” Arctics Afford Protection. For walking in snow or deep mud, aretics with rubber soles and water- proof cloth tops afford excellent pro- tection, as do also rubber boots. When only a little protection Is needed, the slip-on, or sandal, is comfortable and economical, for it covers the sole of the shoe but leaves the heel free. All types of rubber overshoes are now so expensive that they should be treated as carefully as the shoes they protect. ‘They should be kept away from great heat, and set “right side up with care” to prevent their losing shape. They should also be washed, or brushed so that the grit on them may not wear down the surface. Ie Is economy to keep two pairs of shoes in use and wear them on alter- nate days; the thorough airing on shoe- trees or stuffed with paper keeps them fresher and more shapely so that each y q i > ie a : Rays ae as Se ae Wet Shoes Should Be Dried Slowly prevent Grackingscttlesther’ pair gives longer service. All shoes should be kept clean and well brushed. Leather shoes may be rubbed with vaseline to keep them soft, and also to keep moisture from passing so quickly through the leather, Only good polishes should be used. In using paste polishes, a brush is preferable to a cloth, as it will force the paste into all crevices. The shoes should stand a few minutes after the paste is applied; then they should be brushed with a flat, stiff brush and polished with a cloth or a buffer, a brush made of layers of cloth having a napped surface. A glove made of sheepskin with the wool on, such as is used for rubbing furniture, is also very good for polishing shoes. Clean Canvas Shoes. White canvas shoes are usually cleaned with one of the commercial preparations for this purpoee. If water 1s used, no more than necessary should be applied on the shoes and they must be cleaned on shoe-trees or stuffed with paper to prevent the can- vas from shrinking. If they are bad- ly soiled, they may be washed with soap that contains whiting, dried, and if necessary treated with a commer: cial cleaner. All traces of the cleaner should be carefully wiped from the edges of colored sole; otherwise the shoe will have a slovenly appearance. White suede and® buckskin shoes are cleaned n much the same general way, but with’ special cleaners made for the purpose. If there Is suffictent space, a small chest for holding shoes may be added to the furnishings of the bedroom; or shoe bags hung on the Inside of the closet door are good. Pairs of bags in different colors are very useful for packing shoes when traveling; they keep the shoes from being scratched, prevent them from soiling other ar ticles, and make it possible to sort out a particular pair quickly, Good Care of Shoes. Run-down heels spoil the shape o* shoes and should be leveled at once If the shoes are of good leather, well shaped, and well made, it is worth while to have full sues hand-sewed on them and new heeis put on when the first set wears through. Shoes thus mended will outwear those re- paired with ordinary half soles, and also have a much better appearance. Brass rather than iron nails in the heels make less noise In walking. Rubber heels prevent jarring In walk- ing and for this reason are very com- fortable; for some persons they seem to wear longer than leather heels, One Especially Adapted for Use in Emergencies.

Roll out the dough to the thickness of about three-fourths of an inch and bake in a hot oven. When the cake is done, glaze it with a thick sirup of sugar and water and allow it to dry in a slow oven or in some other warm place. While it is still warm, cut It into long strips. «Or it may be left In one large cake, to be cut into very thin slices when served. ‘This cake will become very hard on cooling and will not be soft enough to ent for several weeks, but will keep in good condition for an indefinite length of time. ‘The children will like these cookies: Honey Bran Cookies. 3 cupfuls bran \% teaspoonful gin- % cupful sugar Ker 14 to % teaspoon- % cupful honey ful soda 3§ cuptul milk % teaspoonful cin- 3% cupful melted namon butter Mix the sugar, cinnamon, ginger and soda with the bran and add the other Ingredients, Drop from a spoon pon a buttered ‘pan and bake about fifteen minutes.

Bath Pretty Things that are made at Home ALMOST every woman has an eye for beautiful needlework. It is an old fashioned, feminine accomplishment and nothing is better worth doing than the making of adornments and furnishings for the home or for personal use. Men admire, especially, expert needle craft, and similar accomplishments, in their women folk—and every season brings in new and ingenious creations that are soon broadcast by clever copyists everywhere. A few new pieces are pictured here, leading off with a small and convenient work box in a new shape and A C THE TEA TIME PRETTY THINGS, ETC. having a novel arrangement of its fittings. It appears at the left of the illustration and reveals a small round box, covered with brocaded silk or ribbon, and mounted on a covered flask of cardboard that is bound with a narrow gold braid. This gold braid forms straps for supporting papers of aediles, a thimble, spools of thread and any other small fittings that are held to the outside of the box. Three small spools of heavy silk, in colors likely to be needed, are strung on material is taffetta froc lops at the sleeves—in infly is emb finds a re shoulder. Party fro are made o ed panels the skirt an panels hans skirts, in AA A AAA a silk cord at one side. The inside of the box will carry darning cotton, a small pair of scissors, a tape line and other fittings and the box is enclosed by a larger box, also covered with brocade and finished with gold carrying men's collars. It has a shallow round box of pasteboard as a foundation, lined with plain satin and is covered by a wide strip of satin or ribbon fulled on at the bottom. A fancy braid, set on at the top of the foundation box, forms a satin puff about the side and a flat gold braid, let in a casing near the top, closes braid, which forms a cover for the work box. Black and gold brocade is handsome and very practical for these boxes and rose color and old blue are popular colors.

But there are new fabrics, new color schemes and new details of decoration that are interesting, and for wear between seasons and in early spring, there are --- many frocks of dark taffeta and of taffeta combined with crepe de chine. Many of these frocks have slender waists and bouffant or ruffled skirts. Either crepe de chine or taffeta will serve for the pretty and practical frock shown in the illustration. It is a slip-on model that fastens with hook and eye on each shoulder.

The needlework decoration on the skirt and bodice—at the front—is done in colored silk floss and the belt of the INGS, ETC. material is plain. Some of these dark taffeta frocks are finished with scallops at the bottom of the skirt and sleeves—in each scallop a gay butterfly is embroidered and one of them finds a resting place near the left shoulder.
