"No Excuse for Shooting Bellboy," Says Sutton GROWING, THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy Bellboy Wantonly Shot and Killed Police Officers of the So-Called Morals Squad, Which Has Been Charged With High-Handed and Blundering Methods, Raid Plaza Hotel. Pursued by Officers and Is Shot Down in Cold Blood Without the Slightest Excuse for the Tragedy—Police Seek to Fix Blame for Murder on Watchman—Inquest Crowds Court Room to Limit. "THERE was not the slightest excuse for the killing of the boy," said Detective Paul Sutton of the morals squad at the inquest in district court room just before noon Wednesday. This answer was made by Sutton, who was on the witness stand, to the following question put to him by County Attorney Shotwell, who is personally conducting the inquest, assisted by his chief deputy, W. W. Slabaugh: "Mr. Sutton, was there, in your opinion, the slightest excuse for the killing of this boy?" "No, sir," was his unhesitating reply. "There was not the slightest shadow of an excuse for it." The large courtroom is crowded to the doors, many being unable to gain admission, showing the intense interest in the inquest which is being conducted, as we go to press, to fix responsibility upon the man who fired the shot which killed Eugene Scott, a 22-year-old bellboy, employed at the Hotel Plaza, early Monday morning. The large audience in the courtroom was about equally divided between the races. Eugene Scott, aged 22 years and married, came to Omaha a few months ago from Gainesville, Tex., and was employed as bellboy at the Hotel Plaza. Mr. Kilkenny, the proprietor, says he was one of the most decent, steady and dependable fellows he had ever had in his employ. He had gone on duty Sunday night. Among his duties was the ringing in of the Western Union fire and burglar alarm boxes on every floor except the first every hour. At 1 o'clock Monday morning he had gone up to the top floor of the building to ring in and had rung in two of the upper floors. Between the third and fourth floors he was encountered by Paul Sutton of the morals squad, which had raided the hotel in quest of "gambling, prostitution and booze." Sutton, it is alleged, charged him with having whisky. The boy started down the stairs, when Detective Brigham, who was standing on the stairs, made a grab for him. Scott ran down the stairs, pursued Brigham, and as he reached the first floor Sergeant Thestrup grabbed at him and tore a large strip out of the boy's shirt. Scott darted out the front door, followed by Brigham and Armstrong, and rushed eastward across Fourteenth street and down the alley between Harney and Howard. Brigham drew his gun and shot twice at the fleeing boy, shouting, according to witnesses: "Stop him! Shoot him! Shoot the _____!" As Scott reached the intersection of Thirteenth street and the alley Special Officer Holman of the Union Pacific railroad, a watchman, hearing the shouts and seeing the boy running, fired. Scott fell and died almost instantly. He was shot in the left side, just under the arm, the bullet penetrating the heart. The Western Union box key was still clutched in his hand when he fell. Brigham claims that it was Holman and not he who shot Scott. Holman was placed under arrest. It was reported that Scott had whisky in his possession, which is apparently a wilful and deliberate lie. But even if this statement were true there would be no justification for his murder. All classes of citizens are most outspoken in their condemnation and will insist that nothing is left undone to bring the guilty to justice. The Omaha branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is taking active interest in the matter. The body of Scott was taken in charge by Silas Johnson, the undertaker, and it is expected will be shipped to Gainesville, Tex., for burial. THE MONITOR Three Murderers Escape During Knoxville Riots Whisky Stored in Jail Soon Disappears When Mob Enters Building. Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 31.—After the doors of the county jail had been battered down by the mob which was seeking Maurice Mays, the Negro who had been taken into custody for the killing of Mrs. Bertie Lindsey early Saturday morning, a number of prisoners escaped through the crowd. Among them were two convicted of first degree murder and one under sentence to be electrocuted. Among the prisoners missing are: Ehude Fellows, charged with the murder of Wesley Nichols; Charles Paul of Lafollette, charged with the murder of a wealthy Greek, and C. W. White of Blount county, under sentence to be electrocuted for the murder of a white man in Blount county. Two federal prisoners escaped from the third floor of the jail. Sam Huffaker, an alleged murderer from Sevier county, was among the prisoners who refused to leave the jail. On the second floor of the jail a battering ram, twelve or fifteen feet long, was found after the mob had finished their work of searching for Mays, who previously had been removed to Chattanooga for safekeeping. When the leaders found the Negro was not in the jail the mob turned its attention to a large quantity of illicit whisky which had been found stored in one room. The head of a sixteen-gallon keg was smashed in, cups were produced and the liquor vanished rapidly. Cases of quart bottles of whisky were broken open and the bottles rapidly carried away. REPORTS CONDITIONS IN VIRGIN ISLANDS (By Associated Negro Press.) New York, Sept. 3.-Rothschild Francis, a West Indian and member of the St. Thomas (Virgin Islands) legislature, addressed an audience of about 250 persons here recently on the subject of the conditions of the Negro race in the Virgin Islands. The speaker said that conditions were so bad there that the black man was little better than a slave. More than 8,000 Negroes, he said, had left the islands and migrated to this country in the last few years. Mr. Francis said that he had recently appeared before the foreign relations committee of the senate and had discussed the situation with it. He said that he had been promised that a bill would be introduced providing that three senators and three members of the house of representatives should be sent to investigate conditions in the islands. Mr. Francis said that the inhabitants wanted a reorganization of their judiciary and school systems after the American plan. FORMER SOLDIER LYNCHED IN LOUISIANA No Arrests Follow Action of Mob in Bogalusa. Bogalusa, La., Aug. 31.—After Lucius McCarty, discharged Negro soldier, had been trailed by blood-hounds, caught and identified by a white woman as the man who attacked her Sunday night, a mob of more than a thousand men lynched the Negro in daylight, tied his body to an automobile, dragged it through the principal streets and burned it in front of the home of the woman here today. Before the sheriff could arrive on the scene most of the body had been burned. No arrests in connection with the lynching were made. ASKS HEARING BEFORE FOREIGN RELATIONS COM. Boston, Sept. 3—The National Equal Rights league, through its corresponding secretary, William M. Trotter of this city, has sent a telegram to Senator Lodge, asking for a hearing before the senate foreign relations committee. The league desires to present its views in support of an amendment to the League of Nations covenant guaranteeing full protection of life and full equality of rights to all Negro citizens of the allied and associated nations. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 4, 1919 SHILLADY'S STATEMENT Statement by John R. Shillady, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Unless Texas repudiates the statement of her governor expressing satisfaction with a brutal and unprovoked attack upon an unoffending United States citizen she will have confessed herself a lawless state. I went to the capital of Texas, Austin, having telegraphed the attorney general and a justice of the peace, offering any information concerning the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which they desired. My first call after meeting with a committee of the local branch of our organization was at the office of the governor. That being closed I proceeded to the attorney general's office and conferred with Acting Attorney General W. A. Keeling. I offered him the fullest information concerning the purposes, methods and work of the association, handing him a copy of our most important publications. After this interview, which lasted some time, I proceeded to the Adjutant general's office where I had an extended interview with Acting Adjutant General Colonel W. D. Cope. I informed both of these officials of my intention to see the governor and the commander of the Texas Rangers. The object of my journey to Austin was to ascertain why the books and papers and other property of the local branch had been subpoenaed by a local justice of the peace and examined by state officials and to offer to these officials a much fuller record that could be obtained from an examination of the association's national reports and publications, copies of which I brought for that purpose. In the light of these facts it is sheer and deliberate falsification for Texas mobbists to charge me with being an "agitator" and inciting Negroes against white men. The assault upon me, by a group of men, including a county judge and a constable occurred after I had been haled before a second session of a so-called "court of inquiry" in which in addition to legitimate questions, I was asked insulting personal questions by the county attorney, such as: "If you're such a nigger lover why don't you go and stay in a nigger hotel?" and personal reference as to how I'd like to have my wife in close personal association with "niggers." The county judge who took part in the assault in broad daylight in one of the main streets of the capital of Texas was present at the secret session of the court and had full opportunity to hear all of my testimony. Had there been the slighest question as to the legality of my intentions and acts, it is perfectly certain that I would have been arrested in so hostile an environment. After the hearing the presiding judge invited me to come to his office to confer with him that night. This invitation I declined although at that time I did not think as I do now that it would have meant an assault if not a killing in the seclusion of an unkept second story office, as my assailants the next morning were the same group that loitered about the building in which the court was held. While directly opposite the Hotel Driskill I was approached from behind by a group of men in an automobile. One of them, the constable who had summoned me to the secret session the day before, took hold of my arm while the rest gathered round. Anticipating another subpoena, I waited expectantly. Instead of a subpoena I was showered with blows from all sides. No assistance was offered me on the street or when I went into my hotel. The association will not allow this dastardly attack to pass unchallenged. What happened to me personally is of little consequence. The law has been defamed. Mob violence which the association is pledged to fight, has received the sanction of the governor of Texas. The association will therefore act as follows: 1. Congress will be asked to investigate this specific assault on the ground that the governor of Texas approved a criminal assault made by public officials upon a citizen of another state. 2. Following the precedent of the Mooney and the Bisbee deportation cases the president will be asked to appoint without delay, a responsible investigating commission. Governor Smith of New York will be called upon to demand protection for citizens of New York visiting Texas. A legal committee has been appointed to initiate proceedings against the mobbists. The committee is composed of Moorfield Storey and Butler Wilson of Boston; Chas. H. Studin and Arthur Spingarn of New York, and George W. Crawford of New Haven. 3. An appeal to the public opinion of the nation will be made through the press and mass meetings one of which is planned for next week in this city. The mayor and sheriff of San Antonio, Tex., do not take the same view of the activities of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people as the mobbists who assaulted the national secretary, Mr. Shillady, in Austin. The following report to the San Antonio branch of the N. A. A. C. P. by a committee which was appointed there shows a promising approach to the race problem in that city: To the San Antonio Branch National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: Your committee appointed to confer with the mayor, the sheriff's department and the publishers of the Express of this city, beg leave to report that an epitome of the views of the association publicly expressed in our last regular meeting to the effect that the great body of Colored people here stand ready to join the authorities and mourders of public opinion through their editorial and news columns, in suppressing every phase of lawlessness and removing whatever of misunderstanding there might be lodging still in the public mind, was presented to these officials. The mayor and sheriff showed the keenest delight and satisfaction in the purpose and spirit of our mission, and promised the fullest co-operation with our association in all matters affecting race relations here. But each expressed the opinion that our understanding and friendly relations were too close and strong for any sort of trouble to grow up among San Antonio people. Mr. Huntree, president of the Daily Express Publishing company, assured us that the Express would ever advocate close and friendly relations between the races as it had always done, and that its news columns would remain closed to exciting and highly colored accounts of race conflicts—such accounts as would be translated into acts of violence by the reckless classes. They are commended the high stand taken by the association for the public good. (Signed) J. J. Johnson, pastor A. M. E. church; H. M. Tarver, principal Dunbar school; H. S. Sims, pastor Bethel A. M. E. church. WILL BE FIRED BACK SAYS TEXAS GOVERNOR Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. 2.—Governor W. P. Hobby of Texas, speaking before the convention of Kiwanis clubs here, again declared himself in favor of intervention by the United States in Mexico. "The American army was used on the other side of the Atlantic to force Germany to honor the American flag," Governor Hobby said, "and it is equally imperative that it should be used for the purpose of forcing other people to respect it on this side of the ocean." While not mentioning his name, Governor Hobby touched on the recent attack on John A. Shillady of New York, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at Austin. "I believe in Texas for Texans only and justly as strongly do I believe that Texas should say how the affairs of the state should be conducted," the governor said. "And I believe in sending any narrow-brained, doubled-chin reformer who comes here with the end in view of stirring up racial discontent, back to the north where he came from with a broken jaw, if necessary." Read good books. Confesses She Lied About Colored Men Woman Who, Weeping and Hysterical, Claimed She Was The Victim of an Assault by Two Negroes Outside Carnival Grounds, Repudiates Statement. TELLS POLICE STORY WAS PURE FABRICATION WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3. Thursday, August 14, Mrs. Minnie Franklin, white, told the police that she had been attacked and criminally assaulted by two young Negroes about 22 years of age in a secluded spot near the carnival grounds, this city. Weeping and hysterical, she was taken to a near-by hospital. She was questioned by the authorities and finally confessed that her story was a pure fabrication. In the meanwhile the police were searching for "two young Negroes, wearing white shirts," according to the description given by Mrs. Franklin of her alleged assailants, but had taken none into custody. Upon her admission that she had lied, the police department dropped the case. Mrs. Franklin resides at 1361 K street, S. E. What her motive could have been in putting out this damaging story, which might have led to serious results, must be a matter of conjecture. HOSPITAL AND SCHOOL OF NURSING OPENED (By Associated Negro Press.) St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 3.—Hospital Commissioner Shupp announced that city hospital No. 2 which will be used exclusively for Negro patients will be ready for opening September 10. It is located at Garrison and Lawton avenues. All members of the hospital staff will be Negroes, except the two head nurses who will be white women, because trained Negro nurses qualified for the position could not be secured. Miss Gertrude E. Martin and Miss Annista Mosler, who have been supervisors of nurses at the city hospital will be superintendent and assistant of nurses until Negro nurses can be trained to hold the position. A three years' course in nursing will be offered Negro girls who have had a high school education. Fifteen Negro women, who will work as nurses at the hospital are now being trained at the city hospital. The staff physicians and internes will be Negroes. When the hospital, which will have a capacity of 200 patients, opens it is expected to have about 175 patients. All Negro patients cared for by the city will be sent there. "GOD WILL DENY AMERICA WORLD LEADERSHIP" Prominent Clergyman Sounds Note of Warning Against Racial Discrimination and Injustice. (By Associated Negro Press.) Providence, R. I., Sept. 3.—America's treatment of the Negro was severely criticised last Sunday by Rev. C. Edwin Silcox, white, pastor of the United Congregational church of Newport, who gave the first of a series of sermons on "Race Riots in the United States and Their International Aspects." He declared that unless this country puts a stop to racial discrimination and assertion of white superiority, it may be forced to defend its alleged superiority against the entire colored population of the world. "If more than a century of loyalty on the part of the colored race is not enough to convince America that the Negro is entitled to the full rights of citizenship, surely the record of our black soldiers in the world war should serve to win for him those rights. "The race riots which have occurred in Chicago and Washington are serious affairs for this nation, and they are due to deeper causes than those which have been given. They are a result of racial discrimination, and unless it is eliminated America is building for itself a national menace." Rev. Mr. Silcox further declared that if racial discrimination and injustice are allowed to continue here, God will deny America world leadership. Vol. V. No.9 Minor Riots Add To Casualties Following Saturday Night's Rioting, When an Attack on Jail Was Repulsed, Slight Outbreaks Occurred in Other Sections of City. MOUNTED MACHINE GUNS COMMAND RACE SECTION Number Killed and Wounded in Outbreak Being Determined With Difficulty; Labor Day Parade Was Called Off as a Safety Measure. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 3.—Minor riots occurred in Knoxville Sunday following the race riots Saturday night and early Sunday which were the sequel to the storming of the county jail by a mob intent upon lynching Maurice Mayes, a Negro, accused of the murder of Mrs. Bertie Lindsey. The casualty list was increased Sunday by four Negroes who resisted attempts to search them for arms. All were wounded by national guardsmen, two being shot and the other two stabbed with bayonets. Eleven hundred guardsmen of the Fourth Tennessee infantry, under command of Adjutant General D. B. Sweeney of Nashville and Colonel Ewing Carruthers of Memphis, supplemented by 200 special policemen and seventy-five special deputy sheriffs, patrolled the city, dispersing crowds and searching all Negroes. Hundreds of weapons have been confiscated from both whites and blacks. The guardsmen, who were in camp near the city for annual target practice, searched all Negroes arriving on trains and established a barred zone in the heart of the Negro district where the worst of the rioting early Sunday occurred. Four machine guns were mounted at a commanding point in this district and other machine guns were mounted on motor trucks ready for eventualities. Labor Parade Called Off. Union leaders called off the Labor day parade scheduled for Monday and candidates abandoned all political meetings announced in connection with campaign for municipal offices. There had been shooting in various sections of the city all day and this continued, causing dozens of riot calls. Most of this appeared to be hoodlumism without injury to any one. How many have been killed and wounded remains largely a matter of guesswork. Some sections in which the most serious clashes occurred have not been searched thoroughly, and reports conflict as to the number of casualties which may be concealed there. Two men are known to have been killed; fourteen others, eight white and six Negroes, are in hospitals. Of these four, two white and two Negroes, are not expected to survive their wounds. Sixteen wounded white men had their slight wounds dressed at one hospital and departed without their identity being made known. Many have had injuries dressed by private physicians of their homes. TO INVESTIGATE RACE RIOTS (By Associated Negro Press) Resolved by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, that a committee composed of five members of the senate, be appointed for the purpose of investigating the race riots all over the United States and lynchings that have occurred in the United States, and ascertain if possible the causes of the same and what remedy should be employed to prevent the recurrence of the same. Said committee shall have power to subpoena witnesses and compel the attendance of the same, and to hold hearings in any part of the United States. The sum of $50,000 is hereby appropriated out of any money in the United States treasury not otherwise appropriated to defray the expense of such investigation. Don't go around with a chip on your shoulder, because it offers a strong temptation to some other fellow to knock it off. Be swift to hear and let thy life be sincere and with patience give answer. ole No. 218) Z National Association Issues Statement Will Exhaust Every Legitimate Effort to Have Assailants of National Secretary Shillady Punished. New York, Sept. 3.—It is unnecessary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to make the statement to the press of this country that it intends to do everything in its power to punish the assailants of Mr. Shillady and to make the country ring with a knowledge of the conditions in the capital city of Texas. Only in the southern states of America could we read that a judge and deputy sheriff beat up a citizen visiting their city in the interests of a well known association, highly honored, of ten years' standing, an association with Moorfield Storey, former president of the Bar association, as its president; Major J. E. Spingarn as its treasurer; with the governor of Minnesota as the president of one of its branches, and Senator Capper, until recently, president of another—an association that has stood always for kindly dealing and fair-play. The association believes that the citizens of the United States feel with it profound indignation at this latest expression of mob violence. No Colored man who appears to think for himself is safe in the south, and it would seem that the same is true today of any white man who has the courage to expound his cause. The annual report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was put in the hands of the district attorney, deputy sheriff and the justice of the peace in Austin. They read its chief aims stated as follows: 1. A vote for every Negro man and woman on the same terms as for white men and women. 2. An equal chance to acquire the kind of an education that will enable the Negro everywhere wisely to use this vote. 3. A fair trial in the courts for all crimes of which he is accused by judges in whose election he has participated without discrimination because of race. 4. A right to sit upon the jury which passes judgment upon him. 5. Defense against lynching and burning at the hands of mobs. 6. Equal service on railroad and other public carriers. This to mean sleeping car service, dining car service. Pullman service at the same cost and upon the same terms as other passengers. 7. Equal right to the use of public parks, libraries and other community services for which he is taxed. 8. An equal chance for a livelihood in public and private employment. 9. The abolition of color hyphenation and the substitution of "straight Americanism." The demand for equal service on railroads and public carriers they took a special exception to. They also advised discontinuance of the Crisis. They talked about social equality. In the same report the association, in Mr. Shillady's forceful language, makes this statement regarding social equality, which it believes and for which it intends to battle to the end: "Nor should any one be led astray by the tiresome talk about 'social equality.' Social equality is a private question which may well be left to individual decision. But the prejudices of individuals cannot be accepted as the controlling policy of a state. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is concerned primarily with public equality. America is a nation—not a private club. The privileges no less than the duties of citizenship belong of right to no separate class of the people, but to all the people, and to them as individuals. The constitution and the laws are for the protection of the minority and of the unpopular, no less than for the favorites of fortune, or they are of no meaning as American instruments of government." Will not the readers of this article wire or write to their senators and representatives, expressing their indignation at the treatment accorded Mr. Shillady in Texas, and urging upon them a congressional investiga- The Monitor's Phone Number Is Douglas 3224 tion of mob violence in the United States? Omaha Branch Takes Prompt Action The Omaha Branch at its regular session Sunday afternoon appointed a committee which forwarded the following telegram to Senator Hitchcock and Congressman Jefferis: Omaha, Neb., Aug. 24, 1919. The Omaha Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in regular session, respectfully calls to your attention the outrageous attack upon our national secretary, John R. Shillady, at Austin, Tex., August 22, and requests you to bring the same to the attention of the senate (house) urging the enactment of a national law making such an attack punishable by the national authorities. COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS. Thomas Reese, Chairman; Madree Penn, Secretary; Maturee Pen, Secretary, Mrs. Cecelia Wilson Jewell, Mrs. J. Alice Stewart, H. J. Pinkett, Rev. John Albert Williams, President. And this letter to Governor Hobby: Omaha, Neb., Aug. 25, 1919. W. P. Hobby, Governor, Austin, Tex. Dear Sir—The Omaha Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in regular session assembled, has learned with deep amazement and keen regret of the exhibition of mob violence and disregard for law in the attack on John R. Shillady, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., by County Judge Dave J. Pickle, Constable Charles Hamby, Ben Pierce and others at Austin, Tex., on August 22, and therefore urges your excellency the governor to exercise all of your legal powers to save law and order from a complete breakdown in Texas. We are loth to believe that the authorities of Texas will permit this attack upon a white man to go unwhipped of justice. Very truly yours, COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS. COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.

NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS READY FOR ACTION "Suffrage Session" Called for October 7th to Be Best of the Series—Able Speakers of Three Continents Expected to Be Present—Emergency Defense Fund Growing. (Special to The Monitor.) Washington, D. C., Sept. 3.—The official call for the fourth annual session of the National Race Congress of America, to be held in this city in October has been issued by the president, Rev. W. H. Jernagin, and is being widely circulated through the press of the country. This congress is to be known as the "suffrage session," and the clans from every section of the land are getting ready to gather at the nation's capital to emphasize the importance of the ballot as a solvent for many of the ills that beset America's 12,000,000 Negro citizens. The call states the case with clearness and force and Dr. Jernagin and his co-workers are urging that large delegations be sent here from the various sections to consider ways and means for the betterment of the civic and economic status of our people. Able speakers will present the issues and the discussions will be broad and thorough, and the steps to be taken to crystallize thought into action will be prompt and vigorous. All phases of the intricate "race problem" will be treated. Hon. F. M. Hercules, secretary of the society of the Peoples of Africa, with headquarters at London, England, has accepted an invitation to address the congress, and Congressman Matthew Agady, of Liberia, is also expected to speak. Invitations have been extended to the Hon. C. D. King, president of the republic of Liberia; Hon. Blaise Diagne, a member of the house of deputies of the Republic of France, who has had charge of the colonial troops who fought so valiantly for liberty and democracy throughout the world war. M. Diagne presided over the deliberations of the recent Pan-African congress in Paris. The Abyssinian government has promised, through its envoys, to send a message of cheer. Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor of Plymouth Congregational church, this city, has accepted the post of field agent for the congress, and will travel extensively in the next few weeks to place before the country the plans and purposes of the congress. He will be assisted by Rev. Daniel L. Reed, the well-known lecturer and author; Rev. A. A. Graham of Phoebus, Va.; Rev. J. N. C. Coggins, and a number of others yet to be named. Local units of the congress now in existence will be stimulated and many new ones will be instituted. It is regarded as especially important that units be established in every locality where Colored people are found. THE MONITOR Prof. John R. Hawkins, executive secretary of the Emergency Defense Fund, under the auspices of the National Race Congress, is actively pushing the collection of the $250,000 fund authorized by the organization for the general protection of Colored-Americans, and encouraging progress is being made. The congress is also cooperating with the citizens of Washington in defending innocent Colored men who were arrested during the recent riot for no other reason than that they dared to protect their lives and their homes from the violence of the mob, when the authorities of the law failed to do so. Arrangements have been made by Prof. Hawkins with the Bar Association to provide every Colored man with able counsel and no worthy case will go undefended when brought before the courts. Contributions in behalf of this cause and for the $250,000 general defense fund may be sent to Prof. Hawkins at 1541 14th street, Northwest. Any sum, however small, will be welcomed and accounted for. Correspondence relative to the October "Suffrage Session" of the National Race congress, is invited by President Jernagin, who can be reached at 901 3d street, N. W., Washington, D. C. The forthcoming meetings promise to be the very best of the series, and that much good will be accomplished for all the people by this frank exchange of counsel is already assured. Spokane, Wash., Sept. 3.—The State Federation of Colored Women's Organizations, Washington and jurisdiction held its third annual meeting here and re-elected Mrs. John E. Mapps, president for the next two years. This federation has an enrollment of 26 clubs and a membership of over 2,000 women, from Washington, Montana and Idaho.

NEGRO AWAKENING IN SOUTH AND WEST Large Delegations to Attend "Suffrage Session" of National Race Congress in Washington, October 7-11—Local Units Being Formed in Every Section of the Country—Make Careful Note of Exact Day and Date. Washington, D. C., Sept. 3.—Word is being received from many states by the officials of the National Race Congress of America indicating that interest in the forthcoming "Suffrage Session" of that organization, called to meet in this city October 7-11, is growing by leaps and bounds, and its success is assured. It is especially desired by President W. H. Jernagin that the exact date of this session is kept thoroughly in mind by the people in general, to the end that the deliberations of the National Race Congress may not be confused with those of another body somewhat similar in name, also announced for this city sometime in September. The organizations are separate and distinct (although not antagonistic), and the program of the National Race Congress of America is peculiar unto itself in points of race protection to be emphasized and in the method of reaching the results to be achieved. Delegates planning to attend the National Race Congress will bear in mind that the convention to which they are being elected will assemble here October 7 to 11, inclusive, at the Metropolitan Baptist church, R street between 12th and 13th streets Northwest, of which Rev. M. W. D. Norman is pastor, and will govern themselves accordingly. Any further information that may be desired will be cheerfully furnished by Drs. Jernigan, Norman and Callis, or Prof. John R. Hawins from the national headquarters, 902 3d street, Northwest. Encouraging reports are being received from Rev. A. C. Garner, Rev. Daniel L. Reed, Rev. A. A. Graham and other agents in the field, who are giving their entire time during the month of September to the work of forming local units of the National Race Congress in various states, which will send delegates from every section to Washington in October. The colored people are manifesting a greater measure of enthusiasm for their own welfare nof than has been known at any time since emancipation and the readiness with which they are responding to the call of the representative men in charge of this cause, bodes well for the future of all concerned. Active work in the organization of local units is being carried on day by day by public-spirited men and women, and to make the convention truly "national," particular attention is being paid to the territory as far west as Kansas City and as far south as Texas and the gulf border, where a personal canvass is being made. Prof. John R. Hawkins, executive secretary in charge of the $250,000 emergency defense fund for the protection of the race everywhere, reports a constant inflow of subscriptions, with churches, fraternities, clubs, and individuals responding generously and heartily. The recent unfortunate race happenings here and in other places have deeply impressed upon our people the necessity for the maintenance of a substantial defense fund for just such emergencies, and Prof. Hawkins is confident he will be able to make a showing at the October convention that will be both surprising and inspiring. The Negro press is lending a cordial support to this movement, "of the people, by the people, and for the people," and there is every reason to believe that October 7 will bring to Washington the most progressive outpouring of the race that the nation has ever witnessed. "KEEP THE FIRES OF AMERICANISM BURNING" "Let Us Keep Them Burning Until We Burn Up Every Jim Crow Sign and Every Jim Crow Car in This Country," Declared Colonel Jackson in Ringing Speech to Pythians. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. 3.—"Dollars or other material gains count for little compared to the realization of our sacred constitutional rights in the mighty struggle in which we, a suffering people, now are enlisted," Robert R. Jackson of Chicago, major general of the uniform rank of the Colored Knights of Pythias, declared today in the supreme lodge convention here. "This is no common task," the Chicagoan, a former member of the Illinois legislature, continued. "It is a gigantic struggle and should be accepted by all. Let me say to the world that the 12,000,000 people of our race kept the fires of Americanism burning. Let us keep them burning until we burn up every Jim Crow sign and every Jim Crow car in this country, to the end that instead of reading un-American signs, "For Negroes Only," we will read real American signs, "For American Citizens." "We have fought for every flag and nation under the sun, why not now fight some for ourselves? I do not mean to fight with guns, bayonets, cannons, revolvers, but with race unity, race solidarity and race leadership that will knock at the doors of congress of our nation and secure our rights as American citizens; or, in the event of failure to demand that those who represent us shall only represent us in the same proportion as we are allowed to exercise our rights in the ballot box. "The world fought for democracy. We fought for it, too. Organizations such as ours must continue the battle of a just peace and a real democracy—democracy in all states. Organization will solve the problem without a tragedy. It will require fearless leaders who have patience and tolerance. Hate will not solve it, neither will prejudice. It is a big problem and a good job for big-hearted men and women, who will make good use of that uncommon thing, common sense. RAILROAD MEN'S INTER- NATIONAL BENEVOLENT INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION Chicago, Ill., Sept. 3.—In accordance with the plans of this organization for a boosting membership campaign, President R. L. Mays, is about to leave for New Orleans and Birmingham, where he will deliver a Labor Day address before the Colored railroad men on September 1 at Nashville. The international secretary, Dr. M. O. Bousfield, is also leaving for the east and will visit locals at Washington, Philadelphia, Jersey City, New York and Boston. Under the auspices of President C. G. Bernard of Local No. 56 at Boston, he will deliver an address on August 29 on the recent race troubles in Chicago and the progress of this Association, which now has 95 locals and a membership of 7,000. THE MONITOR To the credit of Omaha be it said, that while other communities are, to use a fitting phrase, "Sitting on the powder barrel," this fast growing and thriving city is too busy forging ahead to mid-western leadership to stoop to race entanglements. Despite some newspapers who delight in printing large headlines on their front pages when a Colored man is accused of crime the town seems destined to keep on its remarkable progress towards wealth and upbuilding and still live in peace. The people here, both white and Colored, are intelligent, law abiding and level-headed. Good citizens of both races have long ago made up their minds that if united lawlessness cannot develop and are set towards that end. True, there are in all races, good people and bad ones, but the breeders of evil are in such small numbers that a clash such as has disgraced some of our leading American cities is very remote here indeed. The Negroes who come here to escape southern peonage and oppression are as a rule hard working, honest folk. They have learned to labor and to wait. Years of disadvantages have been, while not of benefit to them in education, taught them to be patient. Given a fair chance they will be a credit to any community and a help to themselves. That the Colored man is a respecter of law and order was proved in several instances of late in which members of their race here were accused of crime. Several weeks ago a Negro was alleged to have committed an assault on a white girl. The police called on several Colored men of prominence and explained the matter, giving a description of the assailant. These men with several more Colored men accompanied the officers to where the man was reported to be in hiding. After making a thorough search without avail, the chase was given up. H. LAZARUS SHOE REPAIRING 2420 1/2 Cuming Street Several days ago a Negro was reported to have made indecent advances to a white woman and when she repulsed him he caught her by the arm, she screamed and he ran. Several Colored men from nearby gave chase and overtook him and turned him over to the police. They also appeared against him in court, where he was held in $10,000 bail. Not only is the Colored man showing a proper regard for the law, but the white man who loves his family, his home and his country is determined also that every man without regard to circumstance shall be given a square deal. And especially so is this true of the returned soldier. They and the Colored brother were brothers in arms only a short while ago, all striving for the same end. Their's were the same trials and toils, it was every American's job white and black, red, brown and yellow. When the call sounded every man went forth to do his duty and they did it well. Now that the task is done if there are any plums to pass around let the spirit of fairness rule. The Nebraska soldier has determined that it will not be all for Jim and none for Henry. Their better judgment has said, "Not only do we say those things, but we will put them in practice and do it honorably same as we did credit to our state and the nation." And they did. The city of Omaha joined in a welcome to its returned heroes all on Wednesday, August 27. A general holiday was proclaimed and Krug park was selected for the festivities. Thousands of buttons were passed out to the veterans of the world war. circumstance deal. And of the re- the Colored arms only living for the same trials S. W. MILLS REAL ESTATE CO. A committee of citizens of both races were in charge of the activities. Thousands of soldiers, sailors and marines and their families and friends attended. There were games, races, roller coasting, dancing and other sports. When the band struck up, Colored soldiers, like white ones, grabbed their partners and started to reel off their steps. The great pavilion was a dense mass of humanity, all bent on having a great time. Soon the orchestra noticed that Colored couples were mixed in among white and were dancing, too; without any apparent embarrassment—then things began to happen—the stopped playing. Several white soldiers approached the band stand and learned that it was caused by the presence of Colored couples on the floor. A hurried consultation was held by gentlemen representing both sides and a decision quickly reached that if the band would not play for the Colored they could not play for the whites, for it was a picnic for all, not only in word but in fact. The band played on and until a late hour everybody made merry. There was no disturbance, never a cross word passed by anyone and everybody went home thoroughly happy and overjoyed by the day's treat.

Austin, 4911 North 42d; Mrs. Clara Chiles, 2420 Lake St. Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 31.—Maurice Mays, charged with murdering Mrs. Gertie Lindsey at Knoxville Saturday, and which was the basis for a race riot here last night, made a written statement in the county jail here tonight in which he sets up a complete alibi. Mays, who appears to be above the average intelligence, criticises the methods of the Knoxville police and declares that he will be cleared of the charge against him. Mays in his statement says that he spent all Friday afternoon in a buggy, campaing for a candidate for mayor, leaving the vehicle at the livery stable at about 8:30 o'clock at night. After talking awhile with some Negro girls on the street, Mays says that he met a friend, who carried him home about 12 o'clock. He then went to bed and was awakened about 3 a. m. by officers, who took him to the scene of the tragedy, where he was shown to a white woman, who identified him as the slayer of Mrs. Lindsey. Mays claimed that he urged the officers to have the woman look him over the second time, but that they refused this request. He claims that some of the officers are prejudiced against him and that he had been cursed by Officer Andy White on a former occasion. Mays concludes with this statement: "The case is one of oppression and injustice. Had the officers been honest in their actions they would have arrested several suspects filling the description and kept the arrest secret; then they would have allowed the lady to come in a composed condition and pick out the guilty party. As it is, it looks like bad management based on oppression and prejudice. I believe the court will believe me, as I am telling the truth if I die this very moment."

THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. RETURNING TO SCHOOL PUPILS are now or soon will be returning to school. The Monitor wishes abundantly success to the great army of boys and girls who will soon resume their studies. May we urge upon you all to do your level best. Enter with the will and the determination to be the very best in your class. Do not be willing to admit that any pupil can do better work than you. Start with the belief that if any other pupil can do good work, can get his lessons, so can you, and work to that end. The harder the lesson may be to get, the more determined you must be to get it, remembering that the mastery of the hardest lesson gives you by so much mental strength. There are great opportunities awaiting our boys and girls in this period of reconstruction who have well-trained minds and good characters. School days, properly used, will give you this training and character. Returning to school is a great privilege. Accept it as such. A CRIME AND ITS LESSONS LAST week a trio of boys, aged 14, 15 and 17, attempted to hold up a grocer who resisted. The man was shot and almost instantly killed. It is alleged that the 17-year-old boy fired the fatal shot that snuffed out the life of a useful citizen, a kind husband, a loving father and a good neighbor, for Nathan Shapiro, it is as serted by those who knew him was all of these. It was a terrible tragedy, which teaches several serious lessons. In the first place it sounds a note of warning to parents who permit their boys vastly too much liberty to run the streets with questionable companions. It cries with trumpet voice against the procuring of firearms with comparative ease by minors and others in this city. There is entirely too much laxity in this regard. Any boy who pleases can find someone to sell him a gun. This practice should be put down by the authorities with a stern and impartial hand. It warns boys, and The Monitor hopes they will take due warning, how easy it is for those who will not submit to kindly restraint of home and advice of parents to enter upon a career of crime, which will soon bring them to the penitentiary or the electric chair. TAKING UNDUE LIBERTIES SOME Texas postmasters have been taking undue liberties with the mail. The Monitor has a number of subscribers at various points in that state. Recently from one point, fourteen copies were returned marked "missent." The paper had been going to these same addresses for more than a year. The matter was taken up with the Omaha postal authorities who quickly straightened it out. We have received complaints from other subscribers that they were failing to receive their papers. Consulting the mailing list, we found that these copies were regularly mailed and delivered to the Omaha postoffice. The fault of non-delivery, therefore, is not here. One agent writes that his bundle is always broken open and one or two copies missing. Two others have written to discontinue their orders "for the present" because there is such decided opposition to the circulation of Negro newspapers in those localities that it is not safe for agents to sell them. We do not know what other newspapers are going to do about it, but The Monitor intends to promptly take up every complaint of non-delivery of this publication with the postal authorities, and ascertain whether postmasters or employees in certain sections are superior to the United States government. We desire to state that The Monitor, in common with other race newspapers, has published at the government's request column after column of spe- cual releases of information for Colored people. We are still publishing such releases with reference to war savings stamps, soldiers' insurance, etc. This has been done without one cent of compensation. Are petty officials and shallow-pated ignoramuses in any community going to be permitted to interfere with the circulation of these publications by making it unsafe for agents to sell them or by their non-delivery to subscribers? If so, this would seem to be very poor returns for the patriotic service the Negro press of this country has generously and cheerfully rendered and is willing to continue to render. We do not believe the government will stand for this restriction of the liberty of the press. We, therefore, respectfully ask agents and individuals who have been advised that it will be "safe" for them not to sell The Monitor, or to read it, to promptly advise us of the facts, and we will take up the matter with the United States authorities at Washington. WELCOME HOME PICNIC WAS A GREAT SUCCESS All Omaha Boys Who Were in Service Guests of City at Krug Park Wednesday—A Thoroughly Democratic Affair—Thousands Enjoy Delightful Day. OMAHA'S welcome home picnic to her returned soldiers without any distinction of race, creed or color which was held at Krug park Wednesday afternoon and evening, August 27, measured up fully to the whole-hearted way in which this progressive midwestern city does things. In the first place, the committee of arrangements, numbering ten, headed by Mayor Smith, was thoroughly representative of Omaha's various citizenship. It was made plain from the beginning that Omaha's welcome to Omaha boys meant just what was said, ALL Omaha boys. When the generous invitation came from the management of Krug park to hold the festivities there, it was understood that all soldiers should enjoy the same privileges and this was carried out most faithfully. Nearly 8,000 soldiers, their mothers, wives and sweethearts were guests of the city. Tickets to the various amusements were given to all alike. In the various games all were given equal opportunity to participate and some of the prizes were won by Colored boys. The privileges of the dancing pavilion, usually restricted, were also accorded to all on this occasion and there was not the slightest incident to mar the pleasure of the merry dancers. It was a happy crowd running into the thousands that ate delicious sandwiches, most generous in size, of delicious barbacued beef and mutton, munched olives and drank coffee, steaming hot, out of tin cups. Unfortunately at nightfall a copious downpour of rain dampened the atmosphere, but not the spirits of the happy throng. From every angle the home-coming welcome was a most delightful, successful and long-to-be remembered event in the history of the city. JUST a few more days o'loafin' 'Round the good old swimmin' hole, Just a few more trips a fishin' With his plain old hickory pole; Just a few more "days of real sport" "Cause the days are gettin' cool, And the bell will soon be ringin' Callin' Johnnie back to school. Just a few more games of baseball Down on the corner lot, Just a few more gentle lickin's Fer the history he forgot; Just a few more days of childhood Free from trouble, toil and strife; Ere Johnnie must awaken to A broader, sterner life. EARL SMITH. ALLE PARKING MARKETS AND COURTS OMAHA JUST A FEW THE MONITOR AN Associated Press dispatch from Austin, Tex., tells of some convention participated in by "2,000 Negroes and 100 white persons," held in that city Sunday, at which resolutions were adopted opposing the "intermeddling without relationship" by the people of the north who do not understand conditions in the south," in the affairs of the south. Of course, granting that such resolutions were passed, the south is fooling nobody. Anybody who understands conditions in Texas, or any other section of the south, knows perfectly well how exceedingly easy it is by spending a few paltry dollars or by intimidations to get a large number of ignorant, religious "leadahs an' preachahs" to put across among their easily duped followers anything a self-seeking and designing white man, or black man, either, for that matter, desires. And that's just what was done in Austin. The Monitor is not speaking as a northerner, who does not know or understand conditions in the south. These are the sentiments of one of The Monitor staff who was born and reared in Texas and has lived in other sections of the southland, which in spite of her glaring faults, he still loves. We write, then, with full and accurate knowledge of conditions there. We thank God, that type of leadership, which can be subsidized, bribed or intimidated, is being rapidly surplanted in the south and in the north, for it must be confessed with shame that that type is here also, by a new type of leadership, by some considered radical, but which is well poised, because well trained; fearless, because of its firm conviction that right must ultimately prevail; honest and incorruptible, because race-loving and not selfish. PUNISH THE MURDERERS THE murderers of Eugene Scott, the bellboy, who was shot and killed early Monday morning must be punished. Justice and the welfare and reputation of our city demand this. Scott was discharging his duty at the Plaza hotel where he was employed and where his employer, Mr. Kilkenny asserts he was a conscientious, trustworthy and dependable employee. Among his duties was the ringing in to the Western Union every hour of the fire and burglar alarm on each floor. At 1 o'clock Monday morning he was engaged in this work. He had rung on the upper floors and was descending to the third, when he was accosted by two officers, and charged with delivering whisky to a guest of the hotel, according to their story. He Started downstairs when one of the men rushed after him. It is stated that one of the officers upstairs yelled, "Stop him; knock his head off." The frightened boy ran through the alley. Two of the "morals squad" pursued him firing their pistols and shouting "Stop him; kill him; kill the ____." At the intersection of Thirteenth street Scott fell dead, shot through the heart. It does not make any particular difference whether Edgar Holman fired the fatal shot, or the pursuing police officers. All are equally guilty of murder; all should be indicted; all should be punished. The officers who pursued him firing their guns and yelling "Kill him," are just as responsible for this crime as the man whose bullet pierced Scott's heart. The officers are primarily responsible. They had no business firing at this boy. At most, granting that the raiding officers' story be true, Scott could have been charged only with a misdemeanor. There is no justification whatsoever for his pursuit and death. The whole city is justly vroused and indignant over this crime which adds to the inexcusable blunders and high handed methods of the police force which are open to the most severe censure. The Monitor has been entirely free from censuring and criticising the blundering methods of the police, but it now joins with the other papers of the city is demanding genuine reform, not sham reform in the methods and administration of the police force of our city. There must be no white-washing of those who are responsible for the murder, wanton and inexcusable, of this bellboy. His murderers must be punished. The city must be delivered from the peril of easily provoked, pistol-firing policemen. UNIQUE SORORITY AT IOWA UNIVERSITY (By Associated Negro Press.- Buenos Aires, Sept. 3.—President Sigma Theta, a unique sorority organization of Colored girls at the University of Iowa, will enter their beautiful sorority house when school opens in September. This organization represents Iowa's young womanhood at its best in refinement and culture. Miss Mamie Diggs is president of the sorority. FOOLING NOBODY Smile, work, think. Flashes of Most Anything GEORGIA is still busy at her favorite sport of baiting Negroes. A mob of whites shot to death a Negro in a church and then burned other churches and a lodge. The reason they gave was that they had heard the report that the Negroes were planning to rise up and wipe out the white people. The Negro has always been on the side of constitutional authority, of law and order, and his patience under provocation has almost become proverbial. But now the Klu Klux rides again; fiends and fanatics and fools are out to drive him to desperation. There never was a time in all the history of the United States when the demand for strong public utterances from those wise rational patriots who love their commonwealth needed to make themselves heard above the din, as they need to do now. What would it profit America to save Belgium and Poland and Timbutoo if she lose for herself the bright jewel of liberty, and chaos and ruin become her portion? Roosevelt, mighty American, you should have died hereafter. Were you at the head of our nation today long since would we have heard you speak out against the damnable policy that leaves domestic wrongs to florish unmolested. But thou art dead, and as yet no one has risen big enough nor great enough to take thy place. Shylock said, "The villiany you teach me I shall execute. It shall go hard, but I shall better the instructions." An apt pupil is a joy to any teacher. But, O God of hosts, give us a new teacher and a better precept and example. The most destructive principle in the world is hate. A curse to him who hates and a blight to him who is hated. We want a new pedogy that will destroy the discords of hate and teach us the harmony of tolerance and the hymn of peace. PEOPLE IN LEAGUE WITH PROFITEERS Extravagance in Living and Carelessness in Buying Largely Responsible for Maintenance of High Prices. Washington, Sept. 2.—The people in many parts of the United States are virtually in league with the profiteers, according to William Mather Lewis, director of the savings division of the treasury department, who has just returned to Washington after visiting the various federal reserve districts. "A vertiable orgy of extravagant buying is going on," he said. "The reaction from the careful use of money during war is widespread and disturbing. Retailers are securing goods from jobbers without arguing about prices, if they can only be assured of immediate delivery. They know their customers will scramble for the goods, regardless of cost. Thus, with an abnormal demand and a limited output, nothing else can be expected than high prices. It is a natural, though deplorable, consequence that profiteers abound. "The people must return to the policy of careful buying and regular saving if they wish to help the situation. The treasury department in order to combat this artificial situation, is intensifying and speeding up its thrift campaign. Statements on the principles of finance and the laws of investment and budgetry are being brought to workers in factories; to farmers; to business and professional men, and members of women's organizations by means of printed publicity and the spoken word. A nation-wide attack upon swindlers who are persuading people to dispose of their liberty bonds and war savings stamps is also being inaugurated. "Throughout New England, savings and thrift organizations already are exerting their combined efforts to combat increased cost of the necessities of life. Savings directors and hundreds of officers of savings societies are to king the lead in disseminating information as to fair prices. "In their communities they are aiding the determination and publication of fair prices and in curbing unjust profits. They are following the plan of campaign recently outlined by Governor W. P. C. Harding of the federal reserve board, to promote regular and efficient work to increase production and insure reasonable economies to devote that production to necessities rather than extravagances or luxuries. "Steps are being taken to insure similar efforts throughout the other federal reserve district." "Not all at once the sunshine streams, The gold above the gray; It takes a thousand little beams To make the day, the day." Please patronize those who advertise in The Monitor.

THE KITCHEN CABINET The well-informed housewife will find no great difficulty in selecting a combination of foods that is nutritively efficient and at the same time simple and economical—Jordan Contagious diseases are due to distinct living things, which are transmitted from one person to another and live like parasites upon a patient. This knowledge will help us to guard ourselves and our loved ones from the spread of contagion. The best protection against contagion is robust health. One who is strong and vigorous is much less liable to yield to disease than one less robust. Wholesome food, exercise and fresh air are essentials in combating disease. An active body is far less liable to disease than an inactive one that has little outdoor exercise. The need of fresh air, day and night, is one of the important factors in maintaining health. The belief that night air is dangerous and sleeping in an unventilated room is responsible for much ill health. Sleeping rooms should be well aired by day, bedding sunned often and a free circulation of air in the coldest weather maintained in the sleeping rooms during the night. The eating utensils used by a patient, or indeed anything else which he uses or handles during a contagious illness, are a menace, as they are easily contaminated with infectious germs. A diphtheria patient who has bacillus in his mouth will contaminate spoils, cups, forks or anything which he uses. This is also true of other contagious diseases to a less extent. Consequently too much care cannot be taken of everything that the patient handles. Allow no one to use or handle any of his utensils, toys or books. The utensils may be boiled; ten minutes will sterilize them, but toys, books or things that cannot be boiled should be burned. Paper napkins and dishes of paper may be used, saving the care of linen and utensils, and these may be burned. To ventilate a sick room without a draft, place a board four to six inches wide under the window, and of the same width; by shutting the window down on this board, a current of air will come up between the sashes, keeping a circulation of fresh air, without a draft. Nellie Maxwell Following an old family custom, the body of Mrs. G. H. Haigh, daughter of the late Sir Robert Harty, was buried at midnight in the family vault at the little village church at Waith, England. The body of Mrs. Haigh, who was eighty-nine years of age, was brought from Penhryndendraeth, Wales, and conveyed from the station to the church in a farm wagon, drawn by four black horses and escorted by three dozen men carrying lanterns. Six Welshmen acted as bearers. The only floral tribute was a large cross of evergreens. Copra consists of the dried meats of coconut. It contains from 50 to 63 per cent of oil. In India, Cochin China, the South Sea islands and elsewhere the oil has been used as food since the dawn of history, for the fats contained in it are singularly like the milk fats of mammals in most respects. It is already in wide use in this country as "nut margarine," which is coconut oil into which some butter has been melted and the whole churned with skim milk—that is, milk with the fats removed—and worked as ordinary butter. Because the hostilities are over, do not shift into careless spending, but thrift forward into wise saving. Buy W. S. S. 6 DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER © BY THE AUTHOR FATHER WEEK'S STORY. "It's all very well," said Father Week, for daddies to tell stories to their children, all very well, and all very nice. I can see how the children would get used to them and would enjoy having them, and wouldn't want to miss a nightly story for anything. "But I am not going to let my children go without stories either." "What do you mean?" asked Effie Elf, who was listening to Father Week as he talked. "Have you never seen my children?" asked Father Week. "Never," said Effie Elf. "It is the first time I ever saw you, you know." "Now, is it, indeed?" asked Father Week. "Yet I have been around a good long time." "Sometimes," said Effie Elf, "I think we miss things that are around all the time. We don't notice them enough or think enough of them because they are usual. "But I don't see how I could have missed you." "Well, I'm a busy old soul, always looking after the children, seeing they aren't late, but always right on time. One thing I do insist upon, and that is that my children are on time. They are never, never late, except sometimes in a make-believe way when they change one of their hours around." "I'm getting so mixed up," said Effie Elf. "What do you mean?" "I mean that sometimes they put ahead an hour, or back an hour so that people think that it's Wednesday when still it is Tuesday. But of course that makes very little real difference, and if folks are happier with daylight or whatever it is they want, I don't mind, and if they're happier without it I don't mind either." "Do call your children and tell them a story?" asked Effie Elf. "Ah," said Father Week. "I tell my children their stories as other daddies tell their children stories. But always one child is busy, and can't be listening. That is the child who is working that day." "Call what children you can," said Effie Elf. "for still I am mixed up. And I would like to have it all explained to me." "Come, children," called Father Week. "Come Monday and Tuesday. Come Wednesday and Thursday. Come Saturday and Sunday." They all came hurrying along, looking very much alike, the six children. "You see," explained Father Week. "Friday is busy. It's Friday's turn now. "Well, my children, my lovely days, how are you all?" "We're well, father, we're happy, we're looking forward to a story." "I will tell a story of our family and its history," said Father Week. "for "I Am Getting So Mixed Up," Said Effie Elf. this visitor of ours, Effie Elf, has never heard very much about our family, or she has forgotten if she has. "Years and years ago our great, great, great, great, great, and then a great many more greats, great grandfathers started our enormous family. "He was the first year. There were all his sons, fine sons he had. There were twelve of them. And so strong and splendid were they that every single new year (for our grandfather, our first, first grandfather, lived a long time ago) there have been many who have followed after him, as have the sons after his sons. "The years have come to follow the example of our first grandfather, and the sons have come to follow the example of the first twelve sons and to do just as they do. "You know January, and February, and March, and so on. I am the son of the months. I am Father Week, and you, you precious days, are my children, my little sons."

Children Are the Most Pitiful Sufferers From the Cataclysm That Has Ruined a Once Prosperous People. The Jews in almost every country of the world except America are in a state more dire and terrible, perhaps, than any in which they have found themselves since the fall of Jerusalem. Briefly, the Jewish race in much of Europe is on the verge of annihilation. The countries in which the plight of the Jews is the worst are Poland, Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia, Rumania, Serbia, Galicia, Palestine, Turkey, Greece and Silberia. In Vilna, a typical town of Poland, the Jewish population has been cut down by starvation, typhus and other diseases in the last five years from 90,000 to 45,000. Nearly half of the survivors are dependent upon relief supplies sent by their co-religionists in America, Warsaw, Kovno, Constanza, and many other cities throughout Central and Eastern Europe tell the same tale. American Jews, aroused by the reports that first filtered through after the signing of the armistice, immediately organized under the American Jewish Relief Committee, of 15 East 40th Street, New York City, to save their race abroad. They sent some 20 commissioners to various foreign countries to investigate the truth of these reports. Almost all these commissioners have now returned and the first-hand information that they have brought back is more alarming than the early unsubstantiated reports. Such men as Nathan Straus, Henry Morgenthau, Julius Rosenwald, Jacob H. Schiff, Felix M. Warburg, and many other prominent members of this committee are now bending every effort to arouse America to the great need abroad and rush the food and supplies across the ocean which, if sent quickly, will save the Jewish race from destruction. Saddest of the victims of all this woe are the children. Tens of thousands of pitiful youngsters who are seven or eight years old have gone so long undernourished that they are little further developed than normal infants of one or two years. In the Polish cities orphaned children wander about the streets, homeless and unable to get into the orphanages. These are already overcrowded and depend primarily upon American relief funds to keep them going. JEWISH RELIEF WORK IS NOW WORLDWIDE Christian as Well as Jewish Sufferers Are Aided by Organization That Covers Many Countries in Europe and the Orient. Quietly, and practically without publicity of any sort, the Jews of America have built up, through the American Jewish Relief Committee and other official agencies, a machine for the organization and distribution of relief to war sufferers of their own and other races that is now practically worldwide. The headquarters of the Committee are at 15 East 40th Street, New York. Expenditures for this work now aggregate more than $2,000,000 a month, and by means of state-by-state campaigns to be held this fall a total of $35,000,000 is to be sought to finance the work through the coming months. An enumeration of the countries in which relief efforts are being made is indicative of the scope of the work. Representatives of these Jewish agencies are to be found in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia, Galicia, Serbia, Rumania, and other Balkan states, Greece, Turkey, Palestine and Siberia. Small groups of refugees, cast up by the backwash of war, are being assisted in Holland, Japan, China and other isolated parts of the globe. All told, many million Christians and more than 6,000,000 Jews in countries other than the United States are being directly aided by American Jewish relief funds. The major portion of this humanitarian work is of course carried on in Eastern Europe. It is there that the bulk of the world's Jewish population lives. The fact that these same nations have been perhaps hardest hit by the late war, explains why World Jewry is at the greatest crisis in its history. But though the Jews of America have set out to save their race from destruction, they are not forgetting that their own people are not the only sufferers in these lands. The significance of the whole undertaking becomes apparent when it is known that the relief supplies which have been purchased and shipped largely with Jewish funds are distributed without discrimination to Christians as well as Jews. Barriers of race and creed have been submerged in the flood tide of suffering throughout much of the earth, and the efforts of American Jewry to aid in the great crisis of today have become as broad as humanity itself.

Owing to the fact that it was somewhat cool last Sunday the crowd was a little late gathering for the basket meeting scheduled for the day, but toward noon as "Old Sol" began to show his smiling face, the crowd soon went to more than expected number and the heavily laden baskets seemed to dispute the fact that any there had ever heard of the H. C. L. Lunch was served at 2 o'clock and no one was sent away without having been filled. At 3 p. m. the congregation was caused to order, When Rev. W. C. Williams of St. John's A. M.

PHILIP'S SERVICE FLAG An interesting and impressive service was held at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon last Sunday night at 8 o'clock when the service flag which contains fourteen stars was demobilized. All of St. Philip's boys but one, who is still in the navy, has returned. In his address Fr. Williams who had baptized as children nearly all the boys who had gone into service from this congregation, spoke of the splendid record made by them and was profoundly grateful that not one blue star had been turned to gold. He said that he did not think any other congregation anywhere in the country could make a relatively better showing than St. Philip's, which had to its credit four commissioned officers, one captain and three lieutenants; seven non-commissioned officers, six sergeants and one corporal, one first class private and two men in the navy. An interesting address was given by Captain W. W. Peebles. Silver bars were pinned across the star of each returned soldier by relative or friend as his name was called. The Rev. Fr. Blaklesley, locum tenens of St. Barnabas, and a commissioned chaplain was present and took part in the services. For Monitor office call Doug. 3224 DR.

OMAHA ```markdown ``` Physical Development and Sports By John (Jack) Tholmer FIGHTS I HAVE WITNESSED I was born in a town that was always a great fight center (New Orleans, La.) There as well as elsewhere I have witnessed many battles. The question arose some time ago as to which was the hardest glove scrap known. That in itself is a hard question for any one to answer, as few men will agree as to exactly what constitutes a hard mill. Then again, we must understand that no man saw all the different contests staged since boxing became an art. But of all the slugfests that the writer has seen in a quarter of a century, one that has always impressed him as having been among the scrappiest, if not the terrible ever engaged in by little men, took place in New Orleans back in 1906. John Labeau, a Creole groceryman and sport, lover of boxing owned a small club. He matched two youngsters, welters, Bremmer and Alberts, to go ten sessions with five-ounce pellets. The writer took charge of Bremmer's conditioning. Alberts had an Italian as his handler. The night of the contest the little arena was packed like a filled sardine can. After the prelimits the main card slipped in under the ropes. Betting was lively as both boys had a large following of loyal admirers. After adjusting the gloves and instructions from the referee, the bell clanged and the battle was on. And seldom have two beings slugged like those two boys did that night. Not a second was lost. Both advanced to the center of the ring determined on the same thing. To slug his way to victory. Never have I seen fists fly so fast and so accurate. Not a punch was wasted, each man seemed confident of his ability to outslug the other. For three whole minutes it was a hail of gloves, each blow of which seemed able to drop an ox. Bell and they rested. Round 2.—They have not been daunted, the battle continues to rage fiercely, the house is in an uproar—Alberts rips that deadly right to Bremmer's face and a lump the size of a full grown egg jumps out and takes the place of the glove as it recedes. Bremmer feels the sudden growth and raises his right glove to feel it as if to remove its presence. Alberts is still slugging with both fists like an enraged demon. Men are frantic, you can not hear your own voice. I yell to Bremmer above the roar of the throng; fight 'em back! fight 'em back. go on, go on, and he slugs away for dear life. The bell ends the round. Round 3.—They deal out to each other the same dope, only in larger doses and faster—bell. They do not hear and continue to mix it. The noise is so great that the referee neither hears the gong, and parts the men when signalled by the time keeper. Both men go to their corners. Bell. Bremer goes to the center. Albert's seconds have not revived him. He is exhausted. Bremmer is declared the winner. Thus ended one of the greatest battles I have ever witnessed among glove men. After a good rest both men are alright. None the worse for their gruelling, exciting contest. It was a scrap that surely was a treat to those who witnessed it. From the first gong it was evident that the contestants could not maintain the pace they set and continue through till the end. They both started in good shape, but the pace was too terrific for any human being to keep it up. SPLITTING THE PLATE By John A. Tholmer, The Prophet How can one expect Texas to respect the law when her governor says that villians clothed with police authority may slug with impunity, club and blackjack respectable people provided it is done to deprive Colored Americans of their legal rights? Go on pecks, some day the worm will bite you so hard that you'll think he's an adder. 2 I move that the big boys in the THE MONITOR senate, Lodge, et al., quit pulling the props from under the temple of peace and let her stand rocking in her bed of sand. She'll hold fast until at least a stiff breeze blows the curtains down or up and the big show'll open up again. What's the use wrangling and squabbling about the merits of the play before the last act? 'Tis only an intermission we are enjoying now while the band plays in subdued strains. If we had not reached an age in life where we feel a sense of grave responsibility, it would give us pleasure to have a good laugh at the antics of some of our learned statesmen. Telling the world how to clean house, picking the atoms out of the eyes of Japan, etc., while their own heads are so clouded with dust that their senses are dulled and the lids over their eyes so weighted with barnacles that their visions are sadly impaired. Still they see the other fellow's misgivings, but not their own. Come on fellows, ditch the pipe, and crawl out of the stupor before its too late. Many good folks have predicted that I'll be entertained by the little children of h-a-l-l-e-l-u-g-a and the elders, the kings, queens, princes, dukes and all the royalties when I turn the ghost loose, but I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that they knew what they were talking about because they'll be there to see me when I enter, clean and dressed up, while they'll be black and smutty from coal dust, due to their having been there so long before I received my assignment. Wonder on whom the joke will be? Army Camouflage—Stevedores, engineers, labor battalions, pioneer infantry? Answer, think it over for yourself. Knoxville, Tenn., Special to Civilization, Aug. 30.—An army of valiant Tennessecans, with full equipment, declared war on Maurice Mayes (Colored), bound hands and feet in the prison at Knoxville, after the expiration of a 10 day ultimatum, charging said Mayes with shooting Mrs. Bertie Lindsay (white), and the non-issuance of a confession of guilt by the enemy. The brave sons of the southland, advancing in the face of a deadly toothpick charge, mowed down the enemy with machine gun fire. Two of her heroes, Lieut. Magney and Private Henderson were caught in their own barrage and accompanied the "niggers" on the road to the dividing point. Subscriptions are now open to purchase statues commemorating their valorous deeds during life and in battle. Who'll vote the first penny? We move that the governor of Texas send in the first subscription heading the list. Texas' illustrious governor advises armed intervention in Mexico. Truly the galls of some folks are greater than the sizes of the carcasses that encase them. He would shoot up and kill his neighbors because they won't be orderly and at the same time pins medals on his sheriffs when they beat up law abiding citizens. Great bird, that fellow is. But we'll allow if it's his way of reasoning he's not wholly to blame, because he didn't make himself, then again he was reared in a poisoned atmosphere. Things are getting desperate. No hits, no runs. Mississippi's executive is called from the bench and sent to the bat. He is consulted; can't make out whether he is sure he can see the ball. He'll try. Sends labor agent north to recall the strayed flock. Strike one, labor agent encounters difficulties. Strike two, Colored freemen inquire as to what kind of Colored folks are wanted in the state where Chittling Sovitch is a great commonwealth. Answer, Mississippi has room for all the "niggers" in the world, but none for Colored ladies and gentlemen. Strike three, and the side is retired again. Score still 0. While the howling multitudes growl, bark, yelp and scowl at the big hogs who are responsible for the H. C. of L. as they squeeze, claw and scratch our blood out by cupfuls, the fleas (the chop house keepers), charge us still higher rates. Only they get it in smaller amounts, but making our agony longer. What's the difference if we die in quick jumps or slow ones—just so long as we kick in anyway, it all equals the same thing. 9 Von Hindy the pivot of the erstwhile Central Empires of Europe is strongly of the belief that there is no defeat, no end till death has folded his shroud about us and safely tucked us away: He said to his countrymen gathered to do him honor in commemoration of the victory of Tannenberg: "We must hold on to this spirit in the sad days which are now overcoming us; we must not lose courage because the pariads of society and 6 helots are our enemies. We must again become that which we once were when in Versailles the new German empire was proclaimed, I being among those permitted to join in the first three cheers for the emperor. The spirit of those days must not be lost in these days of laxity and falseness." It must be admitted that hope coupled with courage and ambition is a combination that will not down. Exhausted Germany has all three. Will she forever remain where she stands at the bottom of the list of great powers? Made to feel the shame of her disgrace, an autecast among the peoples of the world? Rome blazed, dimmed, faded and finally passed away, and once upon a time to be a Roman was greater than a king. And not many days ago to be a German was equal to a king. Will she forget, forgive and swallow her humiliation? I say she won't. Some days the fires will be rekkindled and blaze again, but the new conflagration will be three score times greater than the one just subdued. Would that I could sojourn on this hill as long as did Abraham, so I could take a hand on some side or other. Darkness. Game called. PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT AND SPORTS By John Tholmer. Late Boxing Instructor Camp Funston, Kas. My mudder called 'em monkey tricks, When feet I'd place toward the sky, And kick the air such awful licks, Still I continued to grow high. It is with great satisfaction we note that schools in different states have decided to follow the lead of Massachusetts by placing in their curriculum athletics, including boxing. Several years ago to most college professors boxing was a game not to be thought of by gentlemen. Today this greatest of health giving exercises seems fast coming to be recognized as a brain and body builder. To Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft of Princeton, is largely due the credit of a revival of interest in this lively past time. Appointed chairman of the athletic division of the commission on training camp activities, U. S. war department, when America entered the world war, he determined that all soldiers should learn to box. Not only because it added to their physical powers, but because it was essential in bayonet fighting. As the stand and movements of an experienced bayonet man are identical with that of the boxer. The men quickly caught the spirit and the work progressed rapidly and it excellent results. The average boy regards the fellow who has some experience in boxing as a sort of wonderman, a person whom he would not dare have a brush with. Why? Simply because he doesn't know that it is "THE TALK OF THE TOWN" SUIT With Extra Trousers FREE MADE TO YOUR MEASURE SATISFACTION GUARANTEED UNION $35 MADE Dundee WOOLEN MILLS 15TH & HARNEY NORTHWEST CORNER A Million Eyes Turned Upon it Daily AGENTS EVERYWHERE MADAM C.J.WALKERS WONDERFUL HAIR GROWER SUPREME IN REPUTATION SOLD EVERYWHERE IN U.S.A.
