THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy Charges Crime to Negro Highwayman Then Admits That Story Was Concocted to Shield Married Companions of Man Whom It Is Alleged Was Shot by Relative of Woman Taking a Joy Ride. DEAD MAN'S PARTNER RETRACTS FIRST STORY Woman Sticks to Story That Assailant Was a Negro—Suspicious Circumstances Surrounding Case From Which a Discriminating Public May Draw Its Own Conclusions. (Special to The Monitor.) (Special to the Monitor) KANSAS CITY, MO., Aug. 6—As illustrating the disposition to charge crimes to Negroes, of which they are entirely innocent, a recent tragedy enacted near Rosedale, July 27, shows. Herbert G. Woodruff, Emmett Thomas, his partner, and two women, made up an automobile party. Woodruff was shot and killed. The story was given out that the party had been held up by a Negro highwayman. It appears, however, that the parties concerned were married people, whose actions were open to question, and that Woodruff was shot by one of the relatives, husband or father, of one of the women. Someone must be shielded and so the all-too-frequent fiction of a "Negro" highwayman or desperado was hit upon. Sensational headlines in the daily press proclaimed to the world that another heinous crime had been fixed upon the Negro race; a noble scion of a blameless and superior race had been murdered by a "burly black brute" and his virtuous companion violated. But here is the revised version of this sordid event as published in the Kansas City Star of July 28: Retracting the story he told the Rosedale authorities early yesterday that the murder of Herbert G. Woodruff was committed by a highwayman, Emmett L. Thomas, business partner of the slain man, said today he believed the shooting was done either by the husband or father of one of two married women with whom the two men had gone on a joyride. To keep the lips of scandal closed a story was plotted among the three remaining of a holdup and robbery, thereby leaving the names of the women out of the case, protecting the name of the dead man and that of his partner, who was to notify the police and tell the story agreed upon. Told Policeman True Story. Thomas, garage partner of Woodruff, and the other man in the party, told the story as agreed upon. But incidentally he confided in a friend, a policeman, Patsy Mutalipassi. And then other persons had seen the four together and whispered the fact to two detectives, Harry Arthur and Harry Bozzell. Thomas repeated early this morning the same story he told yesterday, but when confronted by the policeman he broke down and confessed that the story was "framed" to save the names of the various persons connected with the ride. Believes a Relative Slew. "I was with one woman and Woodruff with the other," Thomas said. "After the shooting I took both the women to their homes, then went to Rosedale and related the version of the shooting based on a holdup. I believe the murder was done either by the father or husband of one of the women, who probably had trailed us in another motor car." Later on when Woodruff's companion insisted the slayer was a Negro highwayman, who killed Woodruff, robbed him and then attacked her, Thomas said he could not be sure, that the man might have been a Negro, but he never was near enough to the murderer to be sure. The woman who was with Thomas is unable to help with the identification, but insists that Mrs. Brown's story must be correct. However, since the first story planned by the three was a palpable fake, the police are proceeding on the theory that relatives of the two women can help sort out the loose ends of the mystery about which the police are not yet certain the three survivors have told all they know or suspect. THE MONITOR A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS. THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS. Editor After closing the garage at 2705 East Eighteenth street at 10 o'clock Saturday night, Thomas and Woodruff met the two women at Fiftieth street and Troost avenue. Mrs. Blanch Brown, a pretty blonde of 19, 1807 Montgall avenue, sat in the front seat with Woodruff. Mrs. Margaret Love, 23 years old, 4722 Troost, a widow, sat in the tonneau with Thomas. Women Are Sisters-in-Law. Women Are Sisters-in-Law. The women are sisters-in-law, Mrs. Love's brother, John C. Brown, having married Mrs. Blanche Brown. The latter two are now separated. After driving around in Mission Hills awhile they took the Olathe road and stopped. Thomas and Mrs. Love walked a short distance away from the car. Mrs. Love removed her shoes she says, because some gravel was bothering her feet. Woolrudff and Mrs. Brown remained near the car. The remainder of the story was told to Harry Arthur and Harry Bozzell, detectives, who took the two women to police headquarters. "Negro With a White Kerchief." "It was about twenty minutes after we had sat down," Mrs. Brown said, "until 'Woody' lighted a cigarette. He got up to go to the car and as he was within a few feet of it the Negro stepped out from behind the car and shot him without saying a word. The Negro had a white handkerchief over the lower part of his face. 'Woody' just groaned and fell. "Then he came to me—I had jumped to my feet—and he shoved the revolver against my breast. "Come on and do as I say or you'll get the same," he told me in a rough voice. Made Woman Search Woodruff. "Then he took me over to where 'Woody' had fallen and made me search 'Woody's' pockets.

A FORWARD MOVEMENT AMONG STATE MASONS Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the State of Nebraska Is Organized at Lincoln—Nate Hunter of Omaha Is Elected First Grand Master. An event of great importance to the Masonic fraternity in this state was the formal organization and setting up of the most worshipful grand lodge A. F. & A. M. of the state of Nebraska at Lincoln Saturday, August 2. Grandmaster Cross of Iowa was the presiding officer. Nebraska has for many years had lodges which were under the jurisdiction of Missouri and of Iowa. It has been the opinion of local Masons for several months that Nebraska ought to have a grand lodge of its own. This has now been realized. Delegates to the number of sixty, twenty being from Omaha, three from Grand Island, three from Hastings and several from other points were in attendance. The business of the organization was effected with dispatch. The following grand officers were elected: Grand master, Nate Hunter, Omaha; deputy grand master, Perry Warner, Omaha; senior grand warden, D. P. Booth, Hastings; junior grand warden, J. Noah Thomas, Omaha; grand treasurer, Richard Young, Lincoln; grand secretary, Trago MacWilliams, Lincoln; grand tyler, Dr. C. W. Flippen, Grand Island; grand lecturer, Walter L. Seals, Omaha; grand pursuviant, J. G. Gates, Lincoln; grand sword bearer, F. L. Barnett, Omaha; grand marshal, J. H. Woods, Lincoln; grand standard bearer, C. H. Hicks, Omaha; grand senior deacon, Charles W. Dickson, Omaha; grand junior deacon, John H. Crawford, Omaha; grand auditor, I. B. Smith, Lincoln. The members of Lebanon lodge, Lincoln, provided a splendid banquet for the craft at their well-appointed hall. The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Nebraska starts out under most favorable and promising auspices with six subordinate lodges and a splendid corps of efficient and enthusiastin grand officers.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA, AUGUST 7, 1919 REFLECTIONS ON THE CHICAGO RIOTS BY AN EYE WITNESS Lieutenant Will N. Johnson, Former Star Player on the Nebraska University Foot Ball Team, Well-Known Omaha Attorney and Overseas Fighter, Writes Some Impressions for The Monitor—Revival of the Spirit and Methods of War. CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—On Sunday afternoon race war broke out. It started from a spark generated from racial friction. During the night there were intermittent flames here and there on the south side; by MonToday, Aug. 1. it is indescribable. It is a halocut. Murder, incendiarism, stahalocust. Murder, incendiarism, stabbing, pistol, rifle, machine gun fire all added to the dismay and terror and death struggle. Negro sharpshooters on the housetops picked off the white pedestrians and autoists. Hooting white mobs ran down Negroes in the loop district to beat, stab and shoot them to death. It was a war of reprisals. It was an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. High Lights. A Colored man and a boy on the Wentworth avenue car on Monday evening were shot to death by men riding on the same car. A white man on 27th and Dearborn was held by one Negro while another stabbed him to death. A Colored woman and baby returning from down town were beaten to death by a gang of whites. War. It was nothing less than war, with all its horrid practices, with all of its accepted tactics and operations. Negroes had been fired upon by whites from high powered cars driven through at high speed. Under cover of darkness they stretched a heavy wire across the street. The next car of whites that came by overturned and was shot up. Like war it was impersonal. It was not the satisfying of a personal grievance. It was not a revenge visited upon a known person. War had been declared by other persons at other places it was only for every white to kill eevry black and every black to kill every white until peace was declared. From the spirit in which each side sallied forth to do battle came greater satisfaction. To the Negro—at least—the drowning of a Negro youth was a more salutary cause for war than the sinking of the Lusitania. When the causes of war are toome so close to home the battle is waged with greater zest. Every night since Sunday has been a wild night. Negroes set up a machine gun on Wentworth and 47th killing and wounding many whites. There are two classes of people who do not understand the race war. First, the old school whites who look with friendly eyes upon the Negro as an inferior race, and who tolerate and even assist him in any plan which does not bring his life too close to theirs. Second, the old fashioned Negro, who accepts his condition as fixed with no inclination to change it and who has no proper perspective of his rights as a citizen or his worth as a man. To both these the race war War. Causes. is incomprehensible. They hold it attributable to (1) Bolshevism; (2) German propaganda; (3) the exodus of the untrained Negro. Any of the three alleged causes are wild conjecture, because labor, and union labor, at that was battling against each other. No motive for German propaganda or any evidence thereof has been adduced. The northern Negro was drawn into the maelstrom with other Colored people. There is a class, however, who do understand both the fundamental causes and the psychology of the race war. This class is composed of the "wide awake white man" and "the young Negro." The wide awake white man, who although he has some prejudices is sufficiently rational to reason that the Negro, who has suffered and fought and died in every war during the long history of the United States and especially in the late war for the democratization of the world, will not eternally consent to suffer as he has, but will do as the "young Negro" is doing, namely, demand absolute equality. The young Negro has been gassed, bombed and shot up in the late war. He does not need to be a college graduate to know that if he is good enough to die for democracy he is good enough to enjoy it, provided he lived through the fight. It is plain that this war sprung from the manifest inequality in the protection and administration of justice. Force became law. It was not a riot but a revolution. Many advocate as a solution of the race problem, education, trades, wealth. When he is accorded absolute equality he will have all these and every prize a valiant people is entitled to. Forty-eight whites and 21 Negroes were killed. All these were mostly innocent. It is too bad. Too bad that the innocent of Belgium and of France were killed. But it was war. Six hundred whites and blacks were injured. Too bad. The white man will have greater respect for the Negro because he knows that he will fight and is not afraid to die. Men who will submit to being mobbed and mistreated after all the sacrifices they have made for freedom are of small use to society. LYNCHED FOR FOOLISH TALK Cochran, Ga., Aug. 6.—An unidentified Negro riding on a southern railway train which arrived here today told other Negro passengers that he was from Chicago and purposed to help the Negroes of Georgia "do what the Negroes of Chicago did." On their complaint he was taken from the train and put in the city jail. Later his body was found swinging from a small tree outside. It is a wise policy to remain true and loyal to old friends. Results. Seventeen Rioters Are Indicted Chicago Jury Acts on Murders and Conspiracies—Judge Advises That Guilty Should Hang—States That Jury Should Act Impartially, but It Is Rather Significant That Only Negroes Have Been Thus Far Indicted, COUNTRY WILL DEMAND PUNISHMENT OF ALL (Special to The Monitor.) CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—Cook county's prosecuting machinery is actively at work to punish all who are guilty of murder, rioting and conspiracy. The first day seventeen Negroes were indicted. There is no reason why whites and blacks should not be jointly examined. Evidently there is a sinister motive back of putting Negroes on trial first. The country will demand impartial treatment of all. Judge Favors Hanging. "The rioting in Chicago is anarchy and should be treated as such," Judge Crowe instructed the jury. "In your deliberations there should be no prejudice, passion, politics or discrimination. Every man who violates the law, regardless of his color, should be promptly indicted. And I promise on behalf of the judiciary of Cook county that they will be promptly placed on trial. "Where murder has been committed every member of the mob should be tried for murder. The salutory lesson given in the hanging of Spies and Parsons and the other anarchists demonstrates that hoodlumism and mob rule are best curbed by hanging. It would be a calamity, however, if the jury of the judiciary discriminated because of color. It is up to you men to indict regardless of color where the law has been violated." The Men Indicted. Those against whom indictments will be returned this morning and the charges against them are: Elmer. Sanford, Oscar Mondine, James Mays, and McKinley Baldwin, two indictments, one charging conspiracy to riot and one assault to kill. Henry and Clara Dumas, Sidney Scott, Charles and Willie Richards, William Turner, and James Pitts, four indictments, one for conspiracy to riot and three for assault to kill. Walter and Amos Like and Lee Alexander, four indictments, conspiracy to riot, carrying concealed weapons (under Sadler law, which makes this a felony), and two charges of assault to kill. John Washington, Spurgeon Anthony, and William Powell were indicted for murder. NEGROES GIVE $600 TO BUNDY DEFENSE Kansas City, Mo.—Negroes here contributed more than $600 toward the defense of LeRoy M. Bundy, a Negro dentist of East St. Louis, Ill, now under life sentence for activity in the East St. Louis race riots in June, 1917, at a meeting in a tent near Twelfth street and Michigan avenue, yesterday. Bundy's case will be appealed to the supreme court and it is the purpose of the "Bundy defense campaign" of which the Rev. J. W. Hurse of Kansas City, is president, to raise a fund of $15,000. Dr. Edward J. Perry, a physician, presided at yesterday's meeting and the speakers were Rev. Hurse and William C. Hueston, the latter having acted as counsel for Bundy at his trial in Waterloo, Ill. Besides reviewing the case, the speaker admonished his hearers to hold a neutral attitude in the race rioting now going on in various cities and not to commit any act whereby it might be caused to crop out here. A Warning for New York. The outbreak of race rioting in Chicago is a reminder, where none should be needed, that such disturbances are not matters of geography or special local conditions. Washington's recent experience showed that such conflicts are not necessarily politics, but an explanation of the cause of riots in Washington would leave the Chicago trouble unexplained. This should serve as a warning to other communities and especially to New York.-Brooklyn, N. Y., Eagle. LIFTING. LFT, TOO! Vol. V. No. 5 (Whole No. 214) Homes of Negroes and Foreigners Were Set on Fire by Frank Jacob, a Painter, Who When Arrested Had Two Flasks of Benzine Which Had Been Used in Starting Fires. (Special to The Monitor.) Chicago, Aug. 6.—Much of the mystery concerning the fires which have added to the trouble and intensity of feeling here has been cleared up by the confession to the police of Frank Jacob, a white painter. He confessed to the police that he had set fire to several homes, thus adding a dozen new blazes to those which Saturday destroyed nearly one hundred houses of foreigners employed at the stock yards and which were thought to have been set by either Negroes or labor agitators. It will be recalled that the houses burned in the foreign district and nearby sections were said to have been saturated with gasoline or benzine and then ignited. When Jacobs was arrested he had two flasks of benzine in his pockets and admitted that he had used benzine in starting the fires. Not Aggressors, But Defenders Race Not Responsible for Deplorable Conditions and Rioting at National Capital—Were Defending Themselves Against Bloodthirsty Attacks of Mobs, Composed Largely of Soldiers, Sailors and Marines. WASHINGTONIANS ISSUE STATEMENT Doctor Emmett J. Scott and Judge Terrell Advise Country of Efforts to Restore Normal Conditions—Urge Co-operation Between Representative Citizens of Both Races in All Communities to Prevent Similar Disturbances. (Special to The Monitor.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 6. Although by prompt action upon the part of the local authorities and the vigorous defense of their persons and property by the Colored people of this district, who were attacked by hoodlums, conditions have become normal here, it will be of interest to know that the best elements of the community deplore the outbreak and are not slow in placing the blame for it where it properly belongs. Negroes were not aggressors. They did not precipitate the trouble. They defended themselves when they were attacked. There were, of course, as would naturally be expected, regrettable cases of reprisal, but be it said to their credit the race was not responsible for the riot. Two of the leaders of the Colored race in the District, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard university, formerly special assistant to the secretary of war, and Judge Robert H. Terrell of the municipal court, have issued a statement which is being sent to the Colored newspapers of the country and to those who have made inquiries. Leaders' Statement. "Letters and telegrams from Colored people throughout the country have come to us and to others of our race here in Washington from all parts of the country, revealing widespread unrest and agitation among the thoughtful leaders of the Negro people, who sense a growing feeling of suspicion as between the races at a time when there should be amity, concord and mutual respect and confidence. "For the benefit of those who are apprehensive we beg to say that it has been our privilege and the privilege of the thoughtful leaders among the Colored people of Washington to co-operate during these trying days in every possible way to bring about a restoration of friendly relations between the races here in Washington. It has been our privilege, and the privilege of many others of our race, to serve the interests of the Negro people of this community and the best interest of the community itself by counseling during these anxious days with the important officials of the District of Columbia who are charged with the responsibility of (Continued on Page 3.) Barrier of Blood Brings Sadness Adopts a Baby Boy to Whom Woman Becomes Much Attached Before She Discovers That Child Has African Blood—Father of Babe Paid Supreme Sacrifice in France and Mother Died When Child Was Born. (By Associated Negro Press.) Albany, N. Y., Aug. 6.—Mrs. Marion Blake, who said she lived in Albany, adopted a two-weeks old orphan baby in New York yesterday. At the same time she left at the office of Dr. Mary Halton at 17 East 38th street, a five months old Negro baby which she said she legally adopted when it was but a few days old. At the time she did not know the child had Negro blood in its veins and she was heartbroken when she learned the real fact and knew that she would have to part with the little one to whom she had become greatly attached. The story reads more like fiction than real facts. Dr. Halton advertised Tuesday in a New York paper that a home was wanted for an infant girl, two weeks old. The parents died of pneumonia a few days after the child's birth. There were no relatives. Dr. Halton had made herself responsible for the little orphan. When the doctor arrived at her office, a woman who said she was Mrs. Marion Blake, was waiting. She appeared to be troubled. In her arms she carried a baby whose skin was dark. "I am a widow of comfortable means," she said, "and live with my mother in Albany. For years I had one servant girl. A year ago she married a soldier, but came back to us when he sailed for France. "A few days before she gave birth to a child she received worn her husband had died in a French hospital. The shock killed her. She died as the child was born. For years I had wanted to adopt a child and I took her baby. "The baby was small and plump, reddish, as new-born infants usually are, and had bright, pretty brown eyes. I adopted her legally and had her christened "Barbara." The love of both my mother and myself were glorified by the advent of the little orphan. Every day found the tiny mite occupying more and more room in our hearts. "It was when she was three months old that we first noticed that her skin was growing darker each week. Neither my mother or myself put our fear into words, however, until the baby was four months old. "Finally, I took her to a hospital for an examination, I had to go home and tell my mother that Barbara was a Colored baby. "The last month has been one of agony. She is five months old now and I realized that sooner or later, I must give her up. It would eventually bring unhappiness to all concerned and the most unhappiness of all to herself. "When I read that you had an infant girl for adoption, I thought, perhaps if I had another baby near me, it would be easier to part with mine." Little Barbara was passed from the arms of her foster mother to Dr. Halton. Mrs. Blake sobbed as she said: "I can't see her again." She turned her head away to gaze from a window with eyes that could not see. Then into the empty arms of Mrs. Blake the doctor quietly placed the tiny unnamed white child. Long minutes passed before the "mother" looked at the dainty bundle in her arms. Tears fell silently on the baby's white dress. At last the woman gazed reluctantly upon the wee face, snuggled against her heart; and into the blue eyes of her own race she smiled through her tears. Dr. Halton is concerned today about Barbara. That the drama may end happily, for all, little "Bab," too, must find a home, Dr. Halton said. "Somewhere in New York there must be good Colored people who want her. I want to find a good home for her with her own people." Good health depends largely upon good habits. The Monitor's Phone Number Is Douglas 3224 FEDERAL AUTHORITY MUST SUPPRESS RIOTS James Weldon Johnson, Investigating Washington Riots, Predicts Similar Outbreaks Elsewhere—Colored Men Will Protect Themselves. (By Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., Aug. 6.—Race riots in the country as a sequel to the disturbances here were predicted by James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Johnson is in Washington investigating the riots here and endeavoring to aid the authorities as far as possible. "I'm afraid we will have riots elsewhere as a result of those here," he said. "When they come they will be serious. The Colored men will not run away from it and hide as they have done on previous occasions of that kind. The experience here has demonstrated clearly that the Colored man will no longer submit to being beaten without cause. "Throughout the south we will find that the Negroes are in a state in which they have never been before. In previous race riots they have run away and have been beaten without resistance, but now they will protect themselves." "The federal authorities must take a hand if the local or state authorities are unable to successfully cope with the situation. It is certain that the thing which should be done is to conduct a sweeping federal investigation into the riots in the national capital." RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION RESCINDS RESTRICTION Order Refusing to Accept Prepaid Tickets for Colored People Seeking to Leave the South Has Been Set Aside Through Efforts of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. New York, Aug. 6.—For some weeks the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, both through its New York headquarters and through its Cleveland branch, of which Mr. Harry E. Davis is chairman of the legal committee, has been carrying on correspondence with the United States railroad administration in regard to the refusal of their offices to sell prepaid tickets from points south. The matter was first brought to the attention of the association when the United States railway ticket office at Cleveland, Ohio, refused to sell to the Rev. H. C. Bailey, pastor of the Antioch Baptist church of that city, a ticket from Madison, Ala., to Cleveland, which Mr. Bailey desired to send to his daughter, Mrs. Lottie Beadle. The clerk refused to sell Mr. Bailey the ticket, saying that an order had been issued by the director general against such practice on the ground that it was "encouraging labor to come north." A letter of inquiry was sent from national headquarters to Director General Hines, and at the same time, Mr. Davir, chairman of the legal committee of the Cleveland branch, wrote Senator Warren G. Harding and Congressman H. I. Emerson regarding the matter. Through the combined efforts of the national office, the Cleveland branch, Mr. Harding and Mr. Emerson, the rule has been abrogated, and beginning Ausgust 1 prepaid tickets can be obtained from any ticket office. Following is a copy of a letter from Mr. Davis: July 29, 1919. Mr. John R. Shillady, Secretary National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Dear Sir—I have just been advised by Senator Harding that the rule regarding the sale of prepaid tickets from points south, which has been in force for some time, has been abrogated by the U. S. railroad administration, effective August 1, 1919. Very truly, (Signed) HARRY E. DAVIS, Chairman Legal Committee Cleveland Branch, N. A. A. C. P. SOUTH WANTS NEGROES TO RETURN THERE Employers Will Consider Bringing Back Many Who Moved North. New Orleans, La., Aug. 6.—Sugar planters, rice growers, farmers and all agricultural interests of this state have been called to meet here Thursday morning for the purpose of deciding how many Negroes the planters and other employers of Negro labor will bring back from Chicago. The meeting will be held under the auspices of the farm development bureau of the Association of Commerce. Harry D. Wilson, commissioner of agriculture, will be the principal speaker. He will give his views on plans for bringing back such Negroes as left Louisiana and are eager to return, and make suggestions as to the paying of their fares back to this state.

"After that he commanded me to get in the car and lie down. Then he attacked me." Mrs. Brown broke down and cried bitterly. "Oh, I know my husband will kill me if he ever finds this out," she sobbed. "Oh, why did I ever go with them?" "The handkerchief slipped from his face and he took it off. Then he got into the car and tried to start it. He couldn't find the crank for a long time. I was standing at one side. He insisted that I start it, but I told him that I knew nothing about a car. Finally he told me to keep still and then he disappeared. He was a dark Negro, roughly dressed." Thomas and Mrs. Love heard the shot and groan and they disappeared into the woods, Mrs. Love in her stocking feet. Ran From the Scene. "We didn't know what happened," Mrs. Love declared. "We were so frightened that we just jumped up and ran. I wanted to go back, but Thomas wouldn't let me go alone. We went over to a house, hesitated and returned. We then called Blanche and she came running to us and told us what happened. We didn't know what to do." Then came the plot to deceive the police and the public, to save Woodruff's and Thomas' name, and to protect the names of the two women. **Women Spoke of the Men.** "We didn't want anything to be made public," both women declared. "We had to keep it quiet. 'Woody' was married and Thomas is married." While Mrs. Brown and her husband do not live together, they frequently meet and discuss their affairs and Mrs. Brown believed a reconciliation was in sight, she declared. Mrs. Love has a small son, 4 years old. Her husband died of the influenza last October. "I didn't want to become mixed up in it because of my baby," Mrs. Love declared. "I couldn't have my name connected with it because of my husband," Mrs. Brown said. "I'm afraid he might kill me." "We all three climbed in the front seat of the car," Mrs. Brown said, "and started to drive away, leaving 'Woody' lying there dead. We didn't know what to do. Finally I suggested that we might make it a clear case of robbery. Thomas said he would say they were called out there after a car. "I told them if they wanted to make the story good Thomas should be held up, too. So he gave me his money and watch. Then we decided that Thomas should take us home and then report the matter to the police, stating that both of them were robbed. Mrs. Love Busy at Stove. Mrs. Love had the watch and money in the restaurant at 4719 Troost avenue, and turned them over to Detectives Arthur and Bozzell.

"I was in my stocking feet and I had stepped on a lot of rocks and briars," Mrs. Love said, "so we asked Thomas to take us almost home. He took us within a block of my room and Blanche and I ran up to the house. Thomas then went back to notify the police. Stick to Story of Negro. Both women were insistent that it was a Negro who did the shooting, although neither Mrs. Love nor Thomas say they saw him. The lights on the car were out and they both say they were about one hundred feet away. "When we first heard the shot," Mrs. Love said, "I wanted to go to them. Thomas said, "No, it might be Mrs. Brown's husband,' so we both ran to the woods." The description of the Negro given by Thomas and the women did not tally. Both Thomas and Woodruff had been out several times before with the two women. They had visited a dance hall at Eighteenth street and Brooklyn avenue. Only last Thursday night they met at the dance hall at Electric park. The girls were there with someone else, but the four danced together. Mrs. Brown and the two men became acquainted when she lived in the rear of the Eighteenth street garage with a relative. She said she introduced the two men to Mrs. Love. THOMAS' SECOND STORY A Statement Made to the Police, Telling of Joyride. Herbert G. Woodruff, murdered garage man, and his partner, Emmett L. Thomas, had gone joy riding Saturday night with two married women, according to a retraction Thomas made in his statement to the police. Thomas was making his statement at the Flora Avenue Police station to Captain Dennis Whalen and Patrolman Patsy Mutalipassi. "Saturday afternoon Woodruff told me he had framed up an engagement for us that night and that we to meet the women at Fiftieth street and Troost avenue at 10:30 o'clock. "We drove around a while after we picked up the women and then went out on the Olathe road. The women both told us they were married, but were not living with their husbands. The woman Woodruff was with said her husband was very jealous. "Then we stopped along the road. I took a robe out of the car and walked a little way up the road with one of the women. Woodruff remained in the car with one of the women. "We had not been there very long—perhaps fifteen minutes—when I heard a shot. I waited a minute and then walked up toward the car. I saw a man trying to crank the car—our car. The woman was standing on the running board. When I got closer I saw the man cranking the car was not Woodruff. He jumped into the car and tried to turn it around, but when he saw me he ran. "Then I saw Woodruff lying on the ground beside the car. The man ran and I believe got in a small car some distance up the road. "I told the girls we'd better be getting out of that.

MAHA ational ank June 30, 1919 OFFICERS THE MONITOR THROUGH CALIFORNIA Omahan Gives Monitor Readers Glimpses of Fruits and Flowers and Sources of Beauty. We have just left Los Angeles on our way to Frisco and oh how beautiful the scenery is. We are going up the coast line. The only road to enter Frisco from Los Angeles and really it would take a poet to describe what we are passing. For a while we are running through large orange groves dotted along the edges with stately palms; now we are going through beautiful apricot groves and the sweet perfume is enough to drive one wild with delight; now through massive fields of lima beans. From the looks of these fields they are raising beans for the whole world. Now through acres and acres of peach groves. From the looks of these groves there are peaches enough here for every one and to spare and one would not think that there was any high cost of peaches. Now through ripe and green olive groves. Now through fig groves. Oh, if the leaves of these fig trees were used for garments there would be no high cost of clothes. Now we are standing in beautiful Santa Barbara, one of the garden spots of California, a resort for the rich. It seems like nature tried herself to see how lovely she could make this city. Now we are alongside of the peaceful but majestic Pacific ocean, with its continuous rolling waves chasing each other toward the shore. The smooth sand dotted with happy bathers. Now with dangerous rugged cliffs. Now with grove after grove of English walnuts and really when one thinks of a price of a pound of them in Omaha it makes one feel like he would like to take one of these groves back there with him. Now fields af cantaloupes, now casaba, now pears, now honey dew. The beautiful sea gulls seem like the ocean was only made for their enjoyment. But look there is a pelican who seems to say stop, sir, I too, am a native of this region. Now as I pause a moment my mind goes back to dear old Los Angeles, and when I think of the hospitality I received there at the hands of those generous people why I can only say I leave them with regret. You talk about beautiful homes. Why words fail me to describe to you those homes Automobiles, did you say. Why some own two and three; most all the homes on the West Side have garages in the rear. Well, when one sees how we are getting along here it makes one forget about East St. Louis, Washington and Chicago. The beaches! Well, my descriptive imagination again fails me when I turn it away from the productive to the pleasure side of dear old Los Angeles. Why just to go through Venice alone to say nothing of Long Beach, Ocean park, Santa Monica and other beaches just Venice is enough. When you leave Los Angeles you go through beautiful Hollywood. The suburb of Los Angeles where the rich and grand have their magnificent homes. Then you pass the ruins of the place where Griffith made his wonderful production "Intolerance," then by the city of the silent dead, if lovely flowers and everything that goes to make a cemetery beautiful has anything at all to do with the happiness of the departed, they certainly must rest in peace. Then we pass the aviation fields. Can you take a flight? Sure! The machine is there waiting for you at $10 per. Did I go up? Sure! But in a little one at Venice for 10 cents. Then there is no one that can tell you how you feel when you get that first glimpse of that ocean. Then when you see Venice you will imagine that all the amusements of California have been gathered and all have decided to combine to make one grand and glorious place where all the people in California can come and have a good time together. Then when you leave one and go to the other one you get the very same impression. Yours, CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN FAR-REACHING DECISION (By Associated Negro Press.) Los Angeles, Cal., July 30.—For the first time in the history of the United States the appellate division of a state supreme court has rendered a decision holding that individuals have no right to limit the selling or leasing of real estate against the Negro race. The supreme court of Georgia and South Carolina held that cities could not pass ordinances setting apart a portion of the city for the residence of Colored people. The supreme court of the United States has passed upon that question and has held that cities, being parts of the state, could not so segregate, but no supreme court, until the California supreme court, through its appellate division, rendered a decision in Title Guarantee Company vs. Garrott, on the 10th of July, 1919, had gone the length of saying that private individuals could not limit or restrict alienation against Negroes, Japanese, Chinamen, etc. To The Monitor: For this reason the case of the Title Guarantee Company vs. H. L. Garrott, a Negro policéman, is of paramount interest to the Colored people of the United States. The Title Guarantee company, a multi-millionaire corporation of Los Angeles, subdivided the Angelus park tract and put a clause in the deed to each buyer restricting the sale or lease to persons of African, Chinese or Japanese descent. A purchaser, having held one of these lots for six years, sold to H. L. Garrott, a Colored police officer, whereupon the title company immediately claimed a forfeiture and sought to have the property revert to it in an action filed in the superior court in Los Angeles county. Police Officer Garrott retained Willis O. Tyler, a well known and able attorney of Los Angeles, formerly of Chicago. HARRY E. DAVIS RECEIVES THREATENING LETTER (Special to The Monitor.) Cleveland, O., July 25.—A letter, dated June 29, and postmarked Laurel, Miss., containing a photograph of lynch-murdered John Hartfield, dangling from a limb of a tree, was received by Harry E. Davis, last week. Pinned to the picture was a newspaper clipping detailing the antlynch platform of the N. A. A. C. P., evidently clipped from a southern white newspaper, as there was defamatory editorial comment all through the article. On the back of the picture was written: "This is the way we'll give you your rights. Come down here and get a little of the medicine yourself." Mississippi, like many other southern states can't read the handwriting on the wall. When they have taught their Negro citizens to strike back, meeting violence with violence, it may be too late for a lesson to do any good. The day for intimidation to be successful has passed and gone. A new day is at hand. Either we all go up together or the pit will receive us all. Please patronize those who advertise in The Monitor.

THE CASE WELL STATED THE World-Herald of Sunday, August 3 publishes in its Public Pulse column an admirable letter from H. J. Pinkett on the present disturbed racial conditions which is an able and accurate presentation of the facts in the case. The Monitor congratulates the writer upon his sane, well-tempered and irrefutable argument, and indorses and is in thorough sympathy with all he says. Published in the World-Herald it will command the attention of a large class of thoughtful readers who need to have such facts brought before them. As it contains food for thought and sound advice to our own group, it gives us pleasure to quote it in full here. Attorney Pinkett has done the community and country a splendid service in writing the World-Herald the following letter: Fair and Law. Abiding. Omaha, July 31.—To the Editor of the World-Herald: Shortly after the civil war the southern states conducted a campaign of vituperation and slander against the Negro, the gist of which was the charge of rape by Negroes of white women, in order to rob the Negro of all he had won in the war. How well they succeeded is now a matter of history. Now that the world war is over the same sinister forces are seeking to deprive the Negroes of the benefits they have won in this war. Their propagandists raise the cry of rape, as they did in the other day, as a basis of justification for their violence and denial of right and justice to the Negro, so that they can keep him in ignorance and subjection. As in the other day, the charges are nearly all false, and now as then they are spreading over the north. Even in Omaha this propaganda has been in evidence. Within the past three months the daily papers have run stories of more than twenty cases of rape or attempted rape on white women by Negroes. There have been two arrests for attempted assault, one conviction and one acquittal, and one arrest for rape, leaving seventeen unexplained and a charge against the Colored people of the city. The man arrested for rape is now awaiting trial. Other elements, of course, enter into the present problem. The passions of men have been deeply stirred by the world war. Radical elements in the ranks of labor are forcing their demands and they resent the increase of Negro laborers in the north in fields where the white man has hitherto had a monopoly. These radical leaders seize upon this and "play upon" the cupidity of the whites and ignorance of the blacks. Many of the Negroes who have moved into the north did so to escape oppression in the south; to better their economic condition and to educate their children. They are the products of a system of ignorance that the south has long imposed on Negroes. They are learning, not always wisely, I admit, that certain rights they should have have been denied them, and they some times do and say just what any other class would do and say who have been lifted from oppression into freedom; excesses in some cases are inevitable. But even here the wrong lies at the door of the oppressor, not the oppressed. Then, too, the Colored people are imbued with a new consciousness of self-respect as a result of what they did and gave in the great war. They expect the right to work and chance to rise and to receive justice. And like all other citizens they have not escaped the effect of arguments and preachments about democracy which should be the lot of all elements after the war. They want to share in this democracy as other men, because they feel that they have won the right to do so. And justice should not be denied them, for they are Americans, all. The unfortunate and deplorable clashes of the past few weeks in Washington and Chicago should never have occurred. In Washington, I am reliably informed, the cry of rape was raised by the press and paraded and was made the basis there for that outbreak. In Chicago, it seems, that a careless policeman was to blame for the "storm." But the situation is not hopeless. On the part of the Negro it is incumbent upon him to be and remain always on the side of law and order and the enforcement of law; for that will always strengthen him with right on his side. All of them should be engaged in legitimate, gainful occupations, for idleness begets crime and violence. Of course, the same thing is true of all other persons. A better understanding should be developed between the Colored and white people of this community. We cannot meet this issue by running from it, and it is very much better to meet it now than later, and by civilized methods. I suggest, therefore, that the mayor of Omaha appoint a civic committee to be composed of white and Colored persons, whose duty it will be to meet from time to time and discuss all the problems which affect the mutual welfare of the two races. This is a suggestion, which, after being weighed, if it seems to have merit, I hope will be adopted. In closing I urge the daily papers to avoid, insofar as they can, the use of "flaming" headlines in reporting offenses involving Negroes, because, in the eyes of most white persons of the community, the mere charge against a Colored man is a charge against all Colored persons. And these big headlines charging Colored persons with crime wound every self-respecting member of the Negro race, for each one realizes that he must bear the odium for the wrong of a Colored person, although he would not have permitted the offense if it had been in his power to have prevented it. Colored men and women who are charged with racial leadership at this period have a heavy cross to bear, and they need and expect the support of all men and women who believe in the reign of law and justice and right. Their task is delicate and full of care. NOT ALWAYS NEGROES THAT Negroes commit crimes is alas true; but that they are guilty of all the crimes alleged against them is undeniably false. It is a popular and well-known ruse of many white criminals to blacken their faces and commit crimes which are charged up to Negroes. We believe that nineteenths of the cases recently reported in Omaha belong to this class. It is a well known fact, or it should be a well known fact, that on June 10 the police of this city arrested a youth of 17 years of age, who lives on V street, South Side, whose face was blacked with burnt cork and he was carrying a revolver. He was held for carrying concealed weapons and for investigation. No specific charge was filed against him and he was released. Why was this dare-devil youth masquerading as a Negro and carrying a gun? It may not be amiss to state that a series of crimes have been alleged to have been committed by Negroes in the southern part of this city. The remarkable fact remains that these "Negro" criminals have not been apprehended. Why? Another reprehensible and cowardly plan is for men and women who have been overtaken in their sins to try to shield themselves by putting the blame upon some Negro because it has been a comparatively easy thing to get away with it. Many of these stories of alleged crimes of robbery and rape, which are being in many communities to inflame the populace, belong to this category. A notable example of this comes from ALLERGY PAINTING MARKETING AND COUNTERS DENVER, CO THE MONITOR Kansas City. We publish the story in full in this issue. It carries its own moral and teaches its own lesson. It Happened in Chicago. THERE is quite a bit of irony connected with the Chicago riots. But it is going to work out all right at that. They say that one of the contributing causes is the "housing situation." The Colored people have been moving into "white neighborhoods," whatever that may mean. The first house ever built and owned in Chicago was built and owned by a Negro. This is a historical fact, and the spot is marked now by the Chicago Historical society. All the white people who live in Chicago have followed that Colored citizen and patriot, and yet those of his kindred who would continue to better their condition, are told that they are "without favor." Throughout the entire world, Chicago has always been known as the "Wonder City of Opportunity for All Peoples." In America, every other city has yielded to Chicago with reference to the honor of being first in racial advancement and civic opportunity. From all corners of the earth have come all shades and degrees of thinkers, leaders, and people with ambitions for greatness, ease on comfort, to enjoy the full measure of opportunity. Chicago is filled up with men and women who have been great in their home town. Many of them are active here, but of course their influence is not as generally known and noted as in the home town because there are so many of them. In the midst of all these facts and conditions: IT HAPPENED IN CHICAGO! It happened in Washington, and, also, in the commonwealth of aristocracy, Virginia at Norfolk. Therefore, it is plain, even to the blind, that it MAY happen anywhere—no city is too remote or aristocratic, or large, or cultured, or anything whatsoever. New York is boasting, but that conceived provincial municipality is not immune. It is not a subject of geography, but condition. At the very beginning there is the prevailing social unrest throughout the world. Added to this condition is the paradoxical, inconsistent, hypocritical attitude of the American people, at large, posing one way to the outside world, and acting entirely another way at home. The consciousness of this state of affairs has been driven home to the minds of the most illiterate person in every section of the country. This act has been performed not only by the thinker, leaders, newspapers and the like of our group, but within the last two years, well known thinkers, leaders and newspapers of the white group, in all sections, have pleaded for real justice and larger freedom for us. All of this has had its effect. It has not only encouraged oor ambitions, but it has created a new determination—a determination to measure up to the best ideals, and to work them out at all hazards and costs. The hazards have come from the diminishing element of human-haters and radicals, whose object it has been to throw every possible obstacle in the way. It is this small element that has fanned the fire of hatred in Chicago, and every place else. It is noisy and sensational and terrible while it lasts, but it is not representative, nor long lived. On the other hand, our own group has three distinctive elements that are to be reckoned with; the ignorant hoodlums, the white man's parrots, and the ultra radical. The first are a bane, as well as a pain, in the plan of adjustment. But their ignorance and instincts are largely due to that system of deprivation and oppression which are the blot of our American civilization. The second element in our group unhesitatingly sell the birth-right of the people for a mess of pottage; they brush principle aside with a wave of the hand, and curry to the favor of the prejudiced white. The third may be sincere, but are dangerous to the cause of peace. The world is not going backward, it is going forward. Out of the grind of war, murder, riot, strife and desolation there will come peace. Our group is superlatively conscious of conditions. Washington, Norfolk and Chicago will serve to awaken and quicken the conscience of that grand army of American whites, who have failed, until now to regard existing conditions between races as matters of first importance. When this grand army gets into action, righteous adjustment will follow. Therefore, in the disgrace of Chicago, Washington and Norfolk, martyrdom, and warning, in the cause of justice without taint or blemish. If Chicago will take no backward step—and she will not—and will set to work valiantly to put her house in order, in this task the patient and untiring assistance of the right thinking people of our group will be abundantly applied. We ask punishment, severe and impressive of all evil-doers, of all classes, without exception; we ask the splendid grand army of right thinking whites to get a better understanding of the right think- THE PERISCOPE ing, industrious, sensible and peace-loving people of our group; we ask that good American common sense, on both sides and not hatred, on either side, be used as the basis of the program of reconstruction—for that's the job. Then these upheavals—with those that will follow unless there is eternal vigilance—will not have been in vain "By this sign we conquer." Flashes of Most Anything THE enemies of true democracy are not the Germans, the enemies of true Americanism are not the Bolshevik or the I. W. W., but those narrow, prejudiced, short-sighted individuals who in a vain effort to keep their darker brethren down and victimize him and lynch him and proscribe him would shatter the very nation they profess to love. "The moving finger writes and having writ moves on." No reactionist, no sectionalist, no Negrophobist can lure it back to cancel half a line, nor mob-mania wipe out a word of it. The day of force has passed, the knell of autocracy has sounded, and rationalism and reason are about to come into their own. LIFE, without the things that go to make life fair, is not worth the living. To die for principle and right is to carve an epitaph for oneself that lasts while time lasts. It is not known which race was chiefly responsible for the Chicago riot or which committed most of the acts leading up to the fierce antipathy that found violent expression yesterday. Perhaps this is of no present importance, but it is highly important that both whites and blacks should do their utmost to tolerate the other. The two have to live side by side and there should be no permanent cause for friction. Nor should one race assume the role of master. These affairs disgrace the whole American people in the eyes of the world, and, of course, give pain to all our citizens. —Brooklyn, N. Y., Standard Union. In place of race riots lets us have mutual esteem and friendship. Accord the Negro his full rights, give him full justice, full opportunity for education and advancement and lend him a helping hand. It is the only solution. Mob violence can only make the problem more acute—New York, N. Y., Evening Sun. An Effective Reminder. It should be an effective reminder that the United States had a serious and difficult racial and sociological problem at home, quite enough to engage the attention of its humanitarians and deserving precedence over the problems of the Balkans, or of other European races which are now being lifted out of their submergence. Philadelphia, Pa., Bulletin. And Now It Is Chicago? Just as the good news came that law and order had triumphed in the national capital to the extent that 2,000 regular troops brought there to keep the peace between whites and blacks could be withdrawn, Chicago proceeded to distinguish herself with a race riot of her own. It is a very serious question whether this outbreak of race rioting in cities wide apart is altogether a matter of chance. It is just possible that behind it is some clever propaganda which finds in the appeal to race prejudice—as mean an appeal as exists—the instrument for causing industrial revolution. If that is so, the problem should be capable of quick solution by an intelligent secret service. If not, the prospects are more ominous.—New York Mail. WE are coming, Father Abraham, 'One hundred thousand strong, And with our blood, we will avenge Each injury and wrong. The spirits rise at Carrizal, The dead arise in France; Their voices join in unison Adjuring us, advance. Can we ignore these noble dead, And shall they plead in vain? Or shall we sacrifice our lives Their wishes to attain? Their object was democracy, In the pursuit of which they died. And can we rest complacently While to us it is denied?

He had been custodian of the Packers' National bank for twenty years. Mr. Sever was married to Mrs. Sarah James August 26, 1888. He was a kind and loving, faithful husband and father. He will be greatly missed in the community and church which he has served in such a noble fashion.

AND MRS. WOODS, 3212 Emmett St. The Owl club gave a picnic Sunday August 3, at the Owl club's resort East Omaha. The club has been disorganized because of the war, which called so many of the young men into service. It was a get-together outing for the club members, their wives and sweethearts, and being their first occasion, since the war, it was enjoyed by all who attended. The party met at Gordon's drug store, 24th and Burdette streets at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, where several automobiles awaited them. They proceeded at once to East Omaha, where it took some time to unload, because of the large number of baskets, that were run of dainty things to eat. The early part of the afternoon was spent in games, songs and kodaking. Mr. Andrew Harrold delivered an address on "The Negro's Part in the War," which held the attention of everyone for one hour. He said that the Negroes were brave and courageous, conducting themselves as men regardless of some disadvantages. He said what the Negro needed most was "A place to stand and they would move the world." The tables were set and many good things too numerous to mention were enjoyed by all. The party returned at 9:30 p. m. Miss Clyda Bradford, elocutionist, of Independence, Kas., was the honored guest. She is here visiting Mr. and Mrs. James Peoples, 3727 Miami street.

DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER © BY THE AUTHOR "I agree," said Mrs. Mole. "How about a first course of clover and a dessert of juicy worms?" he asked. "Oh, delicious," said Mrs. Mole; 'perfectly delicious.' "We'll have it at once then," said Mr. Mole. MR. AND MRS. MOLE And they had what they considered a most delicious meat! "Good summer," said Mrs. Mole to Mr. Mole, as they met in a field. "Ha, ha," laughed Mr. Ground Mole in his funny little voice, "that is a good joke. You've been reading newspapers or history books or story books or something." G MULE O T "To make the language grow, my child." The KITCHEN CABINET The ethics of gastronomy are as marked as those of society, and the arrangement of a bill of fare calls the functions of a chapernor.-Elwanger. "I haven't at all," said Mrs. Mole. "Then how did you ever hear of such an expression or saying?" inquired Mr. Mole. SEASONABLE DISHES. During the early summer months the sensitive needs a little cooling and e early summer months needs a little urging and especially attractive dishes to appeal to the appetite. ```markdown ``` "Ha, Ha," Laughed Mr. Ground Mole. "I heard some of the creatures last autumn when Mutton With Peas. Cut mutton in serving- sized pieces, brown in a little boiling water and cook at a low temperature until well done. Pour "We heard them say good summer when they were going to sleep for the autumn?" asked Mr. Mole. "Dear Mr. Mole, wait until I finish what I have to say. When the creatures were going to bed they wished each other a good winter, because they said, they were going to sleep for the winter. around the mutton a pint of cooked peas and serve when well heated. Grilled Chicken and Mushrooms.—Sprinkle pieces of cold cooked chicken with red pepper and salt, brush with melted butter and toss in fine crumbs. Place in a hot oven. Cut the stalks from a half pint of mushrooms, place them with two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, dust with mace and cook gently for five minutes, then add salt, pepper, a tablespoonful of flour and a quarter of a cupful of stock. Cook until well done, then pour pieces of toast. Prepare the chicken and serve around the toast. "I heard them explain the saying to those who didn't understand. They said that when people went to bed they wished each other a good night, they hoped they would sleep well for night. "So when the creatures went to bed for the winter they wished each other a good wintor. That would be the length of time they would sleep for, you see. Unusual Sponge Cake—Separate the yolks and whites of four eggs and beat the whites very stiff; add a cupful of sugar, a little at a time, not to lose the air in the beaten egg, then add the yolks one at a time, cutting and folding them in. not to mix, but leave the whites streaked with yellow. Cut in cupful of flour sifted with a quarter of a teaspoonful of the cream of tartar, and bake in a greased pan in a slow oven. The cream of tartar may be divided and half of it put into the egg whites while beating. "And it sounded to me like something very sensible. Why should creatures who want to have a good, sound winter's sleep wish each other only a good night. Why, that, to my mind, would be most insulting. "Don't you think it would be insulting and rude to say to a creature who was going to sleep for the winter, 'Good night.' It would appear as though we only wanted him to rest for a night and then wake up and then sleep for another night perhaps, and have a generally restless time. Sour Meat.—Take a nice piece of round steak, lay it in vinegar with one onion, a teaspoonful of whole allspice, salt and pepper mixed, one bay leaf and allow it to stand for three days. Brown the meat in a hot oven or frying pan, pour over the vinegar and sufficient water to cover the meat and simmer until tend. . . Strain the gravy, then thicken it and pour around the meat when served. "Don't you think that would be rude? Don't you also think that the saying is a good one, Mr. Mole, saying good winter to creatures who go to sleep for that length of time?" "To be sure I think it is a wise and sensible thing to say," replied Mr. Mole. "Still," he added after a moment's thought, "I didn't understand why you said they had said good summer." From May until late in October if the season is warm, we will find a crop of delicious food just for the gathering. The field mushroom may easily be learned and it will quickly be recognized so that there need be no danger in eating it. It is not wise to ever pick any mushrooms before learning the ordinary kinds. "Pray do," said Mr. Mole. "I said that I was wishing you a good summer. Just as creatures who were going to sleep for the whole winter wished each other a good winter. It was the same idea, only another season of the year; so I said good summer to be in the season. Neville Maxwell WHY DEAR MOTHER, WHY? "You see." Mrs. Mole continued, "we must keep up with the season and the time and all of that. "When people get up in the morning they wish each other a good-morning and not a good-night. That is perfectly true, isn't it, my dear?" A WEE, young lad at his mother's knee. "Perfectly true," said Mr. Mole. "I now know that you just pick up knowledge all the time and you don't have to study at all." Looked lovingly up in her face. "Why do all the boys poke fun at me, And talk of a difference in race? And why do they all quit playing their games Mrs. Mole grinned, a funny little grin, for it is nice to be wise without any trouble, and it's very nice to appear wise to someone who doesn't know quite so much as you may know. And call me "nigger" and other names Just like they did today. "Yes," said Mr. Mole, "I have a wise and learned little companion. I am glad you wished me a good summer; it is so much nicer to be wished that than a mere good-morning. Ah, we Just what is a "darky," a "nigger," a "coon?" And is there a difference in race? And did God make me by the light of the moon. creatures who sleep all winter are very fine and generous. A And forget to whiten my face? And was grandpapa ever a slave, And did Lincoln set him free? "We don't wish each other a short good-morning, but a long good summer. I thank you for teaching me that." And what do they mean by "A maryr's grave? O mother, explain it to me. Let not these taunts rob you of your joy. "You're welcome." said Mrs. Mole, making a mole courtesy and telling Mr. Mole at the same time that she was making him a courtesy. Now run out to play like a good little boy, And don't ask her again. With a smile on his face he ran out the door, To play with the chickens and swine, But these words recurred to him o'er "I think," Mr. Courtesy. Mole said, "that in order to start off our good summer we had better have A "darky," a "nigger," a "shine." —E. S. THE MONITOR POSIES FOR HATS Summer Headgear Trimmed With Flowers and Fruits. Llacs, Wistarla, Lilies and Green House Products Are Used Feathers Popular. The old-fashioned flower-laden hat in leghorn and in horsehair straw has come back to us from out of the past, and, true to type, it is trimmed with collections of flowers in striking combinations of vivid colors. White and purple illias are used with sprays of wistaria, and large flowers, such as tiger illias, pond illias and even callas are used on the larger shapes, says Vogue. The flower-covered crown is particularly adapted to the young girl. For instance, a hat of a delicate lavender horsehair straw which shines like silver in the sunlight, has a crown of old-fashioned pinks. For the older woman, black lace is shown for mid-summer—not, as one might think, in an all-lace hat, but as a softening for the harshness of white leghorn. It also is used to veil the colored flowers of the large summer hat that is stiff in line, rather than the floppy one for the young girl. Odd materials are making their appearance in the midsummer hats. Corn husks that have been dried in the sun and hand painted make an ideal turban. They are light and, when woven together, are fashioned into a most durable hat. Softly draped turbans and brim hats, either mushroom in shape or with turned brims, are shown in shaggy felts or in long-heated slik duvetyn. Feather hats will undoubtedly be seen throughout the summer. The uncurled ostrich feathers are, perhaps, most frequently used. Glycerine ostrich and ostrich tips are used on the large summer hats. For instance, in a large shape of thin straw in lemon yellow, four tips in different colors entrench, cover the crown, while the spines of these feathers are painted in a vivid color. An orchid colored tip may have a vivid green spine, while a French blue tip may have a cerise spine. Tappe, as another novelty, is making a number of smart hats with wreathes of fruit—lemons, oranges, cherries, grapes and other hothouse products. One of the smart- L Broad Brimmed Leghorn Hat. est and most striking examples of new trimming is the use of Scotch thistle on a lace straw of large dimensions. And for the welcome of the Rainbow division, one designer especially created a lovely hat in flesh color trimmed all over the brim with clusters of heads of wheat in all the delicate shades of the rainbow. BLOUSE SLIPS OVER HEAD Late Paris Arrival Has Round Neck Opening and Fastens Along One Shoulder. Something very new and quite the latest thing in Paris is a blouse that has a round neck opening and slips over the head, fastening along one shoulder. The sleeves are cut kimono style, in one with the garment, and reach midway between shoulder and elbow. There is no fit to the blouse which hangs in straight, soft liner from neck to hip, a knotted silk cord or narrow sash holding in the material at a low waistline. A most artistic and picturesque blouse is "la casaque" and ideally comfortable for lounging about the house, but it rather lacks the formality as an away-from-home garment, although in Paris these loose blouses, almost without sleeves are seen everywhere—in the street, at the restaurants and on the tennis courts. Sometimes the material is soft silk crepe, sometimes chiffon is used, and outing blouses in la casaque style are of thin, white tub silk or satin, with hemstitching around. Calico an Aristocrat Now Calico is now in the aristocrat class of garment fabrics, being raised from the plebeian ranks just as gingham was two years ago. Fabric that would have gone into work aprons for our grandmothers is now to be combined with white organdie for smart summer dresses. English print is hard to obtain this season. Short-Sleeved Summer Gowns. Youthful style dresses of gingham volle, organdle and calico have sleever ending just above the elbow, medium in width and finished with turn-back cuffs. These styles of course mear long gloves. FEATHERS, HAT AND PARASOL © HAU Feathers are the really fashionable trimming this season. This hat and parasol are of the most handsome shade of robin's egg blue; the feathers are blue, too, while a rosebud on the brim is a blushing pink rambler. THEY ARE SURE TO SHRINK When Buying Housedresses, or Making Them, Allow for One Size Larger. Always have enough housedresses. To be sure cottons are high priced, but if you make them yourself or buy them at a store where the prices are not exorbitant the cost should not be prohibitive. If you buy them ready made do make sure to get them a size larger than your regular size. They are sure to shrink and it is almost never that the manufacturer shrinks the materials before the dresses are cut out. If you make your own then you have the advantage in being able to shrink it well beforehand. Even then you must remember that the goods will probably shrink a little more in the third and fourth washing so do not make them a bit scrimpy, but add a little for this later shrinkage. There is one great advantage in the all-white-wash dress and that is that it can be boiled and dried in the sun without fear of losing color. How many dresses have you had to discard or have you wished that you might discard because they have faded? You know what an unbecoming yellow green becomes toward the end of the season, how brownish the most attractive violet, while blue turns gray and gray turns brown. White cotton materials dried in the sun and air only become the showier for frequent washings. On the other hand white does show the least spot very soon, and to the housewife who has to pay for her laundry work by the piece there is certainly a disadvantage in this. Often a white housedress may be kept for several days simply by removing a single spot or streak as it comes. This can be done with a little warm water and soap applied with a cloth. KODAK PURSE IS NEW STYLE Contrivance Opens Like Picture-Making Outfit; Contains Small Receptacle for Money. The canteen vanity bag and purse will no longer have everything its own way in the fashion field of faddish purses. It now has a rival—this is the kodak purse. People who design pocketbooks are becoming quite as versatile as the makers of gowns in finding sources of inspiration for their patterns, and now they have turned their thought to the kodak, which, after all, is a likely idea to work out in a purse. These new vanity bags of colored erase leatheries are made in the form of small cameras. Opening just like a kodak, the front piece drops down, revealing a generous mirror. They are fitted with the accessories of beauty, such as lip stick, powder box, mirror and an eyebrow pencil, as well as a memorandum pad for shopping. Of course, these are the important things in the present-day shopping bag. It might be mentioned casually that they also contain a small receptacle for the almighty dollar, which seems to be the last thing considered when making present-day shopping bags. STYLES IN NEW YORK A blouse of bright printed silk is joined to a skirt of accordion-plaited tricollette in plain color. Straight-line, unbelted suits averaging 40 inches in length were worn by many fashionable women at the Belmont races. The talk of Irish lace as returning more and more to favor for the better grade of blouse is persistent. Extremely long fringes are used on several French imports, bringing models that would otherwise end at the hips to knee length. Shades of brown and burnt orange are said to be good. Silk pongee summer suits, some lined with vivid shades of crepe de chine, favor oriental lines, including the mandarin coat. White tricolette is spoken of as one of the most popular materials for high priced sports overblouses. Checks are in for a good deal of attention. They appear in many of the new ribbons, and some of the newest sweaters are knitted in checked designs. Often, too, a sweater is made with a checked border, and with a checked band at the lower edge of the full sleeves. Checks Are the Thing. The attitude of certain of the clergy who are always protesting reminds one of the mother in Punch who said to the nurse, "Go and see what baby is doing and tell him not to."—Philadelphia Ledger.

Home Missions and Its Possibilities One of the striking papers delivered during the recent A. M. E. convention held in the city follows: Home missions may be defined as the outreach of the church in America to those people and places in our own land beyond the immediate environs of the local church. The hidden forces of national life are instructive and unconscious. The ideals of nations like those of individuals are derived from all the concrete qualities of character. The ideals which are a compelling force in our nation today cannot be ascribed to anyone force but are the result of all those formative reactions which are the product of racial, economic, social, ethical and religious forces. The concept of the main ideal today is that it shall not only save the individual, but shall also remove that which produces crime and makes sin inevitable, in short that it will seek to redeem the environments as well as the sinner and give more wholesomeness, more fullness more joy to life through redeeming its conditions as well as saving its soul. On the church it's outreaching. Home missions as the instrument for the kingdom progress rests a heavy responsibility in supplying that spiritual dynamic and inspiration which is back of all social upbuilding. It must produce the men, women whose characters are such that in their attitude toward industry labor legislation in all their social capacities they will seek to live Christ's social principle, "What you would that men should do to you do ye even so to them." Home missions is one of the greatest contributors to national righteousness. Through it the higher life of the community is developed. Home missions brings the most telling force possible to the upward struggle of our people. Home missions realizes that greater responsibility must now enter into the mission of the church at home if this country is to remain Christian itself and be a force for Christianity in the world. The war is now over. People are becoming settled in the ordinary walks of life and it seems to me the possibilities are greater than ever before.

RACE MAN MAKES HIS PILE IN WEST Otto Griffin, formerly a ranchman of Wyoming, set Lincoln astir when he dropped in on the real estate men of that city and calmly asked if they had any farms for sale at the same time displaying a roll of greenbacks that looked like the roll of a late ammunition manufacturer. When told by one dealer that he had eighty acres five miles west of the city under cultivation at $225 per acre, Griffin said, "show me." After viewing the land he said that he would buy it. He closed the deal and signed the papers. Then he hied himself to Dodge City where he kept his promise to a little woman to make her his wife. They are now encounted on the farm with every convenience and a large late model touring car makes the city a short distance away.

OMAHA --- Those Race Riots There is something more serious back of the race riots that have disgraced the cities of Washington and Chicago than is implied in the vague phrase "bad blood." What seems to be taking place is a reaction on the part of the blacks in the populous centers, against the mob law established in the south. During the past few years, and particularly since the outbreak of the war, various Colored organizations have sprung up, having for their object the more forcible assertion of the rights of the Negro in the United States and aimed in particular against the lawlessness in the south directed against these people. The Negro, in other words, is being taught to "fight back," and the consciousness of his equality has been enormously accentuated since the draft demonstrated to the lowest intelligence of his race that he was at least good enough to fight for his country, even if its laws afforded him scant protection. Hundreds of thousands of Negroes were drafted from the south, many went to France and ample tribute to their fighting ability has been expressed by those high in authority. They have been sent against the Mexicans and have given a good account of themselves, yet in the same page with the story of their military deeds will be found the account of the lynching of a 72-year-old Negro in Georgia, who used a gun effectively in defending himself against a mob that "suspected" him of a crime. Like breeds like. The Negro has been hounded and chased and clubbed into submission in the south. The average southerner with a self-complacent air usually tells the northern man to "keep his hands off," that he knows how to settle the Negro question, and that the black man must be "taught his place." Teaching him his place usually means to deprive him of his constitutional rights as a citizen in the south, also as southern statesmen elaborately explain, necessary to secure "white supremacy." But in the past few years there has been growing up in the south and elsewhere a class of Negro agitators, who have plenty of fuel at hand to start a first-class conflagration, and some of the bitter fruits are these race riots. The Negro has been taught that he has no political rights in the south. He is informed that all this is for his own good, so if one of his race is lynched or mobs of rowdies storm jails and take out suspects and burn them, just for the sport of the thing, he is practically without redress. Southern governors have on scores of occasions frankly stated that they dare not interfere with these lynchings. The eventual and natural reaction against this state of affairs is taking place. The Negro is coming back from France, and army life and discipline, and the lessons gained in that wider horizon are bearing their fruit. If gangs of hoodlums undertake to 'clean up Blacktown,' why Blacktown doesn't take to the cellars and the tall timber. It fights. The Negro apparently is getting tired of being kicked and cuffed around. A generation of southern methods for the settlement of the Negro question may have worked beautifully insofar as depriving him of his vote is concerned, and "teaching him his place," but when the war came and it was found that the black man's place apparently was in the front rank to be a target for German bullets just the same as his white brother, there was developed a new spirit that unfortunately has been exploited by agitators while the statesmanship of the south complacently looked on. There has recently been an epidemic of lynchings in the south and if the people have closed their cars to the ominous mutterings of rebellion against this state of affairs, and given no heed to the letters of protest pouring into the press of the country from returned Negro soldiers then they must be wilfully deaf. Negro outlaws. Negro radicals. Negro agitators are busy in the large cities in the black belts preaching the doctrine of etaliation and the results are obvious. It makes little difference what particular spark started the trouble. There seems to be plenty of natural antipathy between the races in the congested areas, in any event, and appears to be a general idea afloat that there need be no appeal to the law in the case of black criminals. They are supposed to be dealt with by the first mob that can be formed. That is how the trouble apparently started in Washington. Improvised mobs undertook to run down Negro suspects, and the invasion of the Negro district followed. The mob instead of driving the scared blacks to cover, found itself confronted by an equally formidable gathering and a week's carnival of anarchy followed. These events are the flower and fruit of southern policies in dealing with the Negro question.—The Herald-Democrat, Leadville, Colo. For Monitor office call Doug. 3224. THE MONITOR DAWN By JACK LAWTON (Copyright, 1919, Western Newspaper Union) Jerome Barris in the hour of his great success was but a disillusioned, disappointed man. Still young, and having won the golden key to favor, he drew back wearily before those doors it might open. During his years of struggle and need none of these friends, who now so eagerly strove to share his triumph, had made an effort to stretch forth a helping hand. Even the girl whom he had so deeply loved and who had professed to return his love had grown weary waiting and had heartlessly jilted him for an acknowledged man of the business world. Now that the dream of Jerome Barris was realized he smiled cynically at this same woman's proffered notes of reconciliation—his former love had become a widow, but her charm for him had vanished before her insincerity, and all this supericia' adulation now weared him. He longed to get away from it, to get back to a certain spot which had often been his refuge. To Barris this small place, with the sea stretching out before, was home, his one sure haven. It was here that his great picture was born—the picture which had won for him fame and fortune. Years ago, when his heart was sore with its disappointment, he had gone, after reading the announcement of the one girl's marriage, to the seclusion of this little house, there to shut out from curious eyes his deep hurt. And when at sundown he sat upon the tiny porch a boat had come drifting down a golden beam toward him. And in the boat sat a very young girl. Unbound, her golden hair rippled over her shoulders, and her upraised face was glorified in the light. Barris called his great picture "Maidenhood." Impulsively he had called her as she drifted by, and had run down to draw her boat in to the shore. The girl, who was perhaps fourteen or fifteen years of age, acceded readily to his request that she pose thus again for a picture. "Till make the arrangement with "I'll make the arrangement with your people," Barris suggested. "I have no people," the girl told him, and as she went on with the strange story of her own life he knew what had brought the shadow to her young eyes. She had been washed to the shore in a boat tossing upon a stormy sea before she was old enough to remember anything about it. A man and woman found drowned later were thought to have been her parents, but she had never known. A fisherman finding the child carried her to his wife who had befriended her, until as the girl grew and the wife became an invalid the charge was transferred. They called her "Dawn," the girl told him blushingly, because it had been at dawn that the fisherman found her. And as days passed and Dawn came to pose for the artist he learned more and more of the hard incongruity of a young life which longed for great things and must be satisfied with common duties. Dawn's heart was full of music and her mind yearned for knowledge. When upon his return later from the city Barris learned from his old house-keeper that Dawn's invalid charge had died he sent at once for the girl and bade her make her home in his house on the shore, arranging passage for her to and from a school in the adjoining village and finding her a music teacher there. Then in the absorbing occupation of his city studio the artist forgot about the little girl, who never ceased to think of him with reverent adoration. Barris, long absent from the house by the sea, sought it out again after one of his trips abroad and learned from the old housekeeper that his protege had secured a position as teacher in a near-by village and left word that he would hear from her later. The artist smiled and frowned. "She should have allowed me to complete her education," he said. Then his pleased eyes fell upon the inviting furnishing of his beloved old room. "You keep the place up well," he commended his housekeeper. "That's Dawn," the woman replied; "she comes out here and sees that things is all new an' convenient. 'We must keep it home'-for him,' she says." After that came to the artist regularly small checks in the name of the village bank, with notes in a girlish hand. "Of course I can never repay what you have done for me," wrote Dawn, "this is just to assure myself that I would if I could." And at length, wearied by labor and surfeited with flattering attentions, came to Barris a longing wish for the restful house by the shore. And when he reached it at sundown, sailing again across the golden water toward him, came the girl who had made his great picture. Standing on the sands at her side he told her so. "You speak of repaying your debt to me," said Barris. "My dear girl! do you realize that it is I who am indebted to you?—for my success, for the very comfort of home, for a belief in truth and goodness which had almost forsaken me? Why, you have given to me every good gift—save happiness." "And I wish I might give you that," said Dawn. "I hope—I believe—that you will," Barris answered softly, and they looked into each other's eyes. Pardon Recalls Famous Crime. A famous crime is recalled by the granting of a decree of pardon to a large number of convicts in Italy. Among those thus pardoned are Doctor Naildi and Tullio Murri, who were sentenced in connection with the murder of Count Bonmartini, Murri's brother-in-law. Count Bonmartini, a Bologna spendthrift, who frequently quarreled with his wife, was found in his flat with his throat cut, in August, 1902. The trial, lasting six months, of the countess and four accomplices in the murder, in 1905, aroused enormous interest throughout Italy. All the prisoners were confined in a steel cage in front of the judge's tribune. Tullio Murri, the countess' brother, declared that he remonstrated with the count for ill-treating his wife, and killed him in a quarrel that followed. He was sentenced to 30 years' solitary confinement. Doctor Naildi, a friend of Murri, received the same sentence. He declared that his part in the crime was to cut the corpse in pieces, but that this was not done owing to the date arranged for the murder being altered. The countess, who was sentenced to ten years' solitary confinement, was released in 1909. England to Honor Pilgrims. Behind the efforts of those who are seeking to link Great Britain and America in a lasting union of friendship two historic episodes stand out in bold relief. It is almost precisely 300 years since the Pilgrim Fathers set sail from Plymouth in the Mayflower to make, on an undeveloped continent, a brave experiment of self government. The actual tercentenary falls next year, and already preparations are in progress to celebrate the occasion in this country in a fitting manner. By way of contrast to that great adventure one thinks of that other pilgrimage last year, when 2,000,000 herole soldiers left their homes in America to speed across the Atlantic to the rescue of the old country. They came actuated by that love of liberty which had been handed down to them from the ancient Pilgrims, and with their British brothers they testified on the battle field to the essential unity of the Anglo-Saxon stock. It is now for Great Britain and America to determine that the friendship which their gallant soldiers cemented with their blood shall be a permanent inspiration in their international relations.—London Daily Telegraph. Beavers Copy Tepees of Indians. In the pond were a number of beaver houses which looked like small Indian tepees, writes Samuel Scoville Jr. in Boys' Life. Most of them were built in water several feet deep and were from three to four feet above the surface and about five feet in diameter. One, however, was a huge one, built in deep water, and fully twice as large as any other. It was made mostly of peeled cottonwood poles and stood on a firm foundation of mud and sticks built up from the bottom. The poles leaned together from the top and had been woven in and out with thick brush and plastered with mud and turf until the walls were three feet thick.
