WALTER WEBBER IS RELEASED FROM JAIL AND DIES SUDDENLY
Wealthy Citizen Whose Automobile
Struck and Seriously Injured Two
Women Gives Large Cash Bond
And Dies of Heart failure
Was Prominent in the Organizati-
and Promotion of the Co-Operative
Workers of America for Commer-
cial Advancement of Race
Walter Wobber whose automobile
struck and seriously injured two
women, Sunday, October 16th, and was
held in custody for reckless driving
was released Monday on a cash bond of
$3,000 given by himself. That night
he went to the residence of Mrs. Beatrice Harris, 2001 Seward street, a friend of many years' standing and while seated in a rocking chair talking with his hostess about the recent
accident he suddenly expired. He had
been troubled for some time with asthma and a weak heart, which seems to have been aggrivated by business and domestic worries and the accident which he greatly deplored.
Mr. Webber was a member of the Osage nation and was born near Pawhaska, Oklahoma, about fifty years ago. As a member of the Osage nation he had an allotment of valuable oil lands from which he received a royalty from the government during his lifetime. He came to Omaha from Coffeville, Kans., a little over two years ago. With a view and desire to develop commercial interests among the race he was one of the organizers and promoters of the Co-operative Workers of America, a corporation formed and capitalized to operate a department store entirely under the management of colored people. The grocery department was opened and conducted for several months, but has been temporarily suspended while the company is undergoing reorganization in which work Mr. Webber was deeply interested. Mr. Webber's funeral was held from the chapel of the Silas Johnson Western Funeral Home this morning at 11 o'clock, the Rev. Thomas A. Tagpart, pastor of Bethel Baptist church officiating. The deceased is survived by his widow, an aunt and an adopted sister, Miss Corn Webber of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The dinner was given by the Hotel Men's Association and business men of the city at the Rome Hotel Friday night, Oct. 21. Mayor Dahlman in his welcome address said that the service was of the best. Hotel owners and managers from four different states were present. A noted visitor was Mr. Albert Pick of Chicago, the head of the great hotel supply house. Hotel men of the city claim that the ten-course dinner was the best in every way that has been served in Omaha.
RACE WAR ON SHIP
Tokio, Japan, Oct. 20.—Civil war between the white engineering crew and colored waiters and cooks of the steamship Hawkeye State ended in a race war on the docks.
Some two hundred men fought with hammers, wrenches, cleavers and carving knives whereupon Japanese police discreetly withdrew and summoned reserves. Before these arrived the ship's officers fearful less the sailing he delayed shot a stream of scalding water on the battle field. The fighters were separated, engineers carried on board and the ship left port.
The Baltimoreans also protested on waiting on Chinese in the dining room and threatened the steward when he attempted to enforce discipline.

BALTIMORE REGISTERS
THOUSANDS OF VOTERS
Enfranchisement of Women Responsive for Large Enrollment Which Totals 37,475
BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 27.—With 37,475 colored voters now on the books Baltimore city has now the largest enrollment of names in its history.
Before women were given the right of suffrage, the enrollment of colored men, which was then that to be the biggest reached the total of 16,800 voters. That suffrage has served to bring out a larger number of men can be seen in the fact that the total registration is much more than twice what it was three years ago.
The total number of men and women who registered on the three registration days was 1,495. Police census show that ten thousand and more colored men and women were eligible who did not.
On the final registration day, the Fourteenth Ward led with 144 new voters, the Seventeenth third with 80 voters. Politicians are very much pleased with the showing made in the registration and pointed out the fact that colored people of Baltimore constitute one-seventh of the total city population and the number of colored voters is also one seventh of the total number of city voters.

Harmony, Enthusiasm, Progress Dominant Notes of Missionary And Educational Convention. Full Re-
The Western Negro Baptist Association which embraces Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Nebraska and other western states is holding its annual convention this week in Zion Baptist Church.

The Men's Meeting
The Convention proper in charge of the men who admit they got some good suggestions on how to run a convention
The boy pictured here is only one of an average of ten that are turned away from Father Flanagan's Home because all the rooms at the home are filled.
A drive will start November 14th to raise $300,000 for permanent buildings. The homeless boys are now being housed in wooden structures at Overlook Farm, the new site of Father Flanagan's Home.
FATHER FLANAGAN'S HOME FOR BOYS
A Most Worthy And Deserving Institution Which Takes Care of Boys of All Races and Creeds Soon To Launch a Drive for Funds to Erect Permanent Building on Overlook Farm
Ministers of every creed and denomination in Omaha will be asked to deliver special sermons on "Father Flanagan's Home" on the Sunday preceding the drive for $300,000 for a permanent building at Overlook Farm, the new site of the Home.
The drive will be launched on November 14, to last one week.
Since Father Flanagan's Home was founded in December, 1917, he has handled 1215 boys. Of this amount 34 were colored. Father Flanagan cares not for creed, religion or color.
Overlook Farm, which consists of 160 acres of fine tillable soil, is twenty minutes ride west of the paved Dodge road. The boys at present are being housed in temporary wooden structures which are now taxed to their capacity.
Because of this unfortunate condition, at an average of ten homeless welfs a day are turned away.
"Many of these cases are pitiful," said Father Flanagan. "These boys are homeless and without friends. They have no place to go, and when they are turned away, the streets and alleys and unclean hovels, where criminals are made, is their only alternative.
The new Home, to be erected with the money raised in the drive, will house 500 boys and will furnish good
from the women opened this morning with the Rev. Dr. S. A. Mosley of St. Louis, president, in the chair. The convention is in session as we go to press and so a complete report cannot now be given.
Among the delegates present are the following well-known ministers: the Rev. Messrs. W. A. Bowren and Moses Williams, Kansas City, Kans.; W. W. Horton, D. A. Holmes and C. R. McDowell of Kansas City, Mo.; J. H. Robinson, Quindaro, Kans.; S. H. Mosely St. Louis, Mo.; Samuel Bates, Des Moines, Ia.; R. A. Hayden, Champaign, Ill.; H. W. Botts, Lincoln, Neb.; G. A. Conway, Platte City Mo.; C. A. Raulston, Plattsburg, Mo.; W. B. Scott, Alton, Ill.; I. A. Thomas, Evanston, Ill.; R. A. Boyles, Waterloo, Ia.; J. H. Starks, Freeport, Ill.; C. P. Morrow, Ottawa, Kans.; C. N. Bryant, Tulsa, Okla, and F. W. Penick of Peoria, Ill. Among the women in attendance are:
Mesdames H. W. Graves, L. O. Mitchell and H. W. Lockey of Kansas City, Mo.; Wm. Smothers of Atchison, Kans.; Ola L. Neal and Belle Wood of St. Louis, Mo.; S. A. Bates and Roxy Green of Des Moines, Ia.; W. A. Brown, field secretary of Cedar Rapids, Ia.; L. A. Wilson and Scott Kemp of Kansas City, Kans.; Emma Gaines and Mattie Bradshaw, Topeka, Kans.; C. P. Morrow of Ottawa, Kans.; E. J. Griffin of Lincoln, Neb. and Winston, Wichita.
The hospitality committee of Zion Baptist church with E. L. Anderson, chairman, assisted by Mesdames C. Kirtley, Lenora Gray, Myrtle Gardner and Miss Carrie Robinson were highly complimented on the efficiency with which they took care of the guests.

school and recreation facilities for them. Useful trades will be taught. It will be a factory where good citizenship will be manufactured."
J. E. Davidson, vice-president of the Nebraska Power Co., is in charge of the drive.
"Although I am of a different faith than Father Flanagan, I am glad to be of service to the Home, for I happen to know from personal investigation that the Home is non-sectarian in policy and non-proselyting in practice. Among the boys at the Home now are representatives of the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths. This Home deserves the aid of everyone."
Father Flanagan has issued an invitation to the preachers of all faiths in Oriaha to come to the Farm at any time, and give instructions in their religions to boys of similar faith.
The Home has been endorsed by men of every race and creed.
Don't forget the date of the drive—November 14 to 21.

BOLEY RESIDENTS SHOW THEMSELVES AS LAW ABIDING
Assist Officers in Peacefully Arresting Degenerate White Man Who Had Criminally Assaulted A Young Colored Girl
CITIZENS A GOOD EXAMPLE
Community in Which Crime Was Committed Populated Entirely By Colored People Whose Officers Make Arrest
OKEMAH, Oct. 3.—J. W. Lawrence, a sewing machine salesman of Okeemah, is in jail here charged with first degree rape. Lawrence was arrested Thursday afternoon by John Owens negro deputy sheriff at Boley, and turned over to Deputy Sheriff Bootes of Jeffers, who brought him to Okeemah. According to Bill Seawell, assistant prosecuting attorney, who made an immediate investigation of the facts. Lawrence, after an attempt to trade sewing machines with Pearle Atkinson, a young Negro girl committed an assault on her person. The mother of the girl came into the house and found them. She compelled Lawrence to wait until the girl's father came home. Lawrence offered her some money to keep quiet.
When Atkinson arrived he forced Lawrence to drive to Boley where he related the circumstances of the assault and turned his prisoner over to Deputy Sheriff Owens. The Negro officer at once telephoned the sheriff's office to send officers to bring Lawrence to the county jail. The negros were not content with the examination of the girl by three physicians, but insisted that a white doctor be secured to confirm the condition of the girl which was done.
A matter of general comment and comedation on the part of the people of Okemah was the attitude of the citizens of Boley in their apparent desire to allow the law to take its course after such a crime had been committed against one of their citizens. This law-abiding attitude of the citizens of the exclusive Negro town is being much commented on by the peace officers of the county.-The Tulsa (Okla.) World, Ogl. 4.
BOLEY, Oklahoma, is an exclusive Negro city. A machine agent, a white man, raped a colored girl and was caught red-handed in the act. He was arrested by colored officers and placed in custody, the outraged and indignant people of that city being willing to let the law take its course. One can well imagine what would have happened had conditions been reversed. The colored people populate, own, control and govern this town. A degenerate white commits a heinous crime. He is not lynched, nor is there talk of mob violence. The people of Boley in their self-restraint have set a good example to other American communities and have taught a lesson that ought not be lost.

AMERICANS GET 17 GRIZZLIES
Natural History Museums of Oklahoma and Brooklyn Represented in Alaska Trip.
DRIVE LASTED THREE MONTHS
Bruin Gave Party Less Trouble Than Did Storms—Saw Caribou, Wolverine and Fox as Well as Bird Life Every Day of Trip.
Ardmore, Okla.—A party of Americans, headed by C. E. Sykes of Ardmore, oil operator, and by Edward D. Crabb of Norman, representing the Oklahoma University Museum of Natural History, killed a total of 17 grizzlies after a drive which lasted three months. Eleven other grizzlies escaped. The party are now after moose and caribou, several specimens of which will be forwarded to the Oklahoma University museum and to the Brooklyn Museum of Natural History. The grizzlies gave the hunters less trouble than did the hardships of the Alaskan wilds, for the men encountered severe snow, and hall storms for 30 days. Good marksmanship alone saved the lives of the hunters on numerous occasions.
Besides Sykes and Crabb, the party included Robert Rockwell of Brooklyn, representing the Brooklyn museum; Charles Hoffmister of Imperial, Neb., noted big game hunter; Dr. W. H. Chase of Seward, Alaska, well-known authority on Alaska, and sportsman; Pete Larson of Unga, Alaska, chief guide, with several assistants.
Long Trip to Hunting Ground.
On April 23, Sykes, accompanied by Crabb and Hoffmeister, left Seattle for Cordova on the S. S. Northwestern and arrived at their destination April 30. At eight o'clock in the morning of May 1 the Rolfe II was boarded and sail was set for the hunting grounds. The trip from Cordova to Unga consumed a week, including a stop of two days at Steward and one at Uyak bay, Kodiak island. At Unga the guides and packers were picked up and the journey continued to Pavlov bay, the scene of the hunting.
Camp was pitched on the shore of the bay, opposite the twin volcanoes of Pavlov, one of which is active. This was the main camp, and was continued from May 9 to June 5, the date of departure for home.
"There was not a day while we were on the hunting grounds." Doctor Chase writes, "during which we did not see caribou, wolverine and fox, as well as a great variety of bird life, including ptarmagin, swan, geese, ducks and many other shore birds. During the days aboard the boat many porpoises, thrashers, black fish, seal, sea lion and other denizens of the deep were sighted, and when we had come to anchor fishing was always indulged in with great success."
The first encounter with grizzlies had plenty of thrills. After the men had left the Rolfe and had spent several days searching for "signs," four full-grown bears came upon them with such a suddenness that men and bears stood watching each other a few moments in astonishment. The grizzlies made the first move. Three of them crouched to the earth and crept toward the hunters, only 50 yards away. The fourth remained behind. There wasn't even a tree to climb. When the three bears got within three yards Sykes fired three times in rapid succession and the three leaders fell dead. Immediately the fourth bear charged with great roars. A bullet halted him just as he reached the side of the other bears, and he fell dead across their bodies.
Long and Arduous Tramps.
These four were the largest found during the entire hunt. The hide of "old Mose," as the biggest grizzly was named by the men, measured 12 feet in length. The fur of these animals showed no blenches of any kind. In further skimishes with the animals not one of the party was injured, although the bears did not fall to the rife as easily as did the first four.
To track the animals long tramps through deep snows were necessary, and frequently the men slid down mountain sides. The cold, at times, was intense despite the fact that it was summer; it was close to the arcic circle. The animals were skimmed by the helpers after each killing and the hides dried out and loaded on the Rolfe for shipment home.

UNCIRISTIAN AND NARROW
THE religious bodies known as evangelical churches have united in a revival or evangelistic campaign at the Auditorium where Gypsy Smith, an evangelist of international reputation is preaching earnest and heart-searching sermons to multitudes who throng to hear him. We believe Gypsy Smith to be an honest and sincere man, striving faithfully to do his Master's will as he sees it. We believe that among the various congregations co-operating in this evangelical campaign are many earnest, broad-minded and sincere Christians, both among the clergy and the laity. Indeed, we believe this class to be in the majority. For this reason we regret exceedingly the unchristian and narrow spirit manifested by the local committee of arrangements, the personnel of which is largely the same as that which conducted the Billy Sunday campaign here a few years ago. The unbrotherly spirit was shown, in excluding colored singers from the choir. The same gratuitous insult was then offered the colored people of this city by telling them that members of their race were not wanted in the choir. The persons excluded at that time were members of St. John's A. M. E. church and those excluded this time are members of St. Paul's Presbyterian church, one of the congregations invited to cooperate in the campaign. The Monitor has scant respect for this brand of Christianity which is too much in evidence among certain prominent leaders, clerical and lay, among some of the churches in Omaha. Among men who ought to be too big for such littleness. We hope that Gypsy Smith may be the instrument in God's hand of opening their eyes that they may see how their self-righteousness and contempt for God's children of darker hue believe the very fundamentals of the Christian religion.

lie schools of our city, grade and high are considered members of the student body, and admitted, without let or hindrance to all student activities and organizations. In athletics, debates, orchestra, band; cadet battalion and other activities our pupils take part with others. The boys who care to have been and are members of the "Hi-Y" and enjoy the privileges of that membership equally with their fellow students. Sabert Hanger, Jas Lewis, Dillard and Lovejay Crawford, Ledrure Galloway and others have been or are at present members of the "Hi-Y." The relationship here, as in other student activities is pleasant and without friction. Why disturb this relationship which is making for better understanding and feeling between the rising generation by having a separate organization? It is neither wise, needed, wanted nor desirable. The school authorities are not requesting it. Who, then, is? We have our own opinion but refrain from expressing it now. If our schools here were separate, which they are not, and ought not to be, then a separate "Hi-Y" to provide, for High school students would be necessary; but under present conditions there is not a scintilla of excuse for having anything of the kind or any other separate organizations connected with the schools. The proposed Y. M. C. A. can be made a real help to the youth and men of our city by organizing activities of various kinds among them, but it will be a serious mistake to countenance or favor any movement that will interfere with the unity of spirit which now controls the educational system of Omaha. A separate "Hi-Y" would do this.

(Prepared by the National Geographic So-

clety, Washington, D. C.)
Portugal, one of the least known and least written about countries of Europe, owes this fact, in part at least, to its language. In spite of the claim made by some Portuguese that their speech is closer to the pure Latin than that of any of the other Romance peoples, students find that many Gothic, Arabic, and even Berber elements have strikingly altered the Latin foundation, making the language unusually difficult for those accustomed to the commoner European tongues.
But Portuguese is predominantly a Romance language, and Roman customs and practices have been just as tenuous in Portugal as the Roman tongue. Agriculture has hardly changed at all since the days when, under the protection of Roman legions, settlers came from Italy to the charming valleys of Portugal and introduced their methods of tilling the soil. The addition of maize to the crops grown is perhaps the one significant change since those days. Oxen are still used by the farmers as in old days, and they drag, not a modern implement of tiltage, but the old primitive Roman plow consisting of crooked stick shov with iron and baving a single handle. Grapes are trained upon trees as the Romans trained them, and when is made in the peculiar way in which it was made on the Sabine farms of old Italy before the beginning of the Christian era.
Not Much Like Spain.
What is now the republic, but was for centuries the kingdom of Portugal, covers the greater part of the old province of Lusitania, one of the rich but hardly won units of the Roman empire. Because of general lack of knowledge in regard to Portugal, there has been a tendency to look on the country as a sort of poor imitation of Spain. Geographically, there is little in common between these two countries which together cover the Iberian peninsula. Much of Spain is a dry, barren tableland; but Portugal, sloping westward to the Atlantic from the east, is well watered, and many of its hills are covered with luxurious forest growth.
The Romans recognized Lusitania to be fertile and desirable, and colonized it eagerly after the natives were subjugated. After the fall of the Roman empire, Portugal was overrun by the Visigoths from the north and later still by the Moors from the south. The results of the mingling of the blood of these two peoples with that of the inhabitants whom they found in Portugal is evident in the Portuguese of today.
The Tagus river, at the south of which is the beautiful capital and metropolis of the country, Lisbon, forms both an ethnic and economic dividing line. In the region to the north of the Tagus, comprising about three-fifths of the area of the country, are the more typical Portuguese. They are the Celtic, Gothic and Latin mixture with little or none of the Moorish or African strain. This northern region is a country of small farms largely cultivated by the proprietors and their families. The diffusion of the land among many independent owners has created a stardy yeomanry which has been the backbone of Portuguese nationality. The people are intensely partisotic and have ever been ready to fight against foreign domination.
Famous for Its Wines.
Much of Portugal is hilly, and the little farms of the region north of the Tagus consist of a series of terrices. Near the northern boundary of the country in the valley of the Duero river and its tributaries is the most famous wine country of Portugal. It is estimated that in favorable years more than 20 gallons of wine are pre-

duced annually in Portugal for each man, woman and child in the country. Port and Madeira are the best known of the cittages. They are shipped through Oporto in great quantities, going chiefly to great Britain and Brazil, but in less quantities to many other markets. Nearly two gallons of olive oil per inhabitant are produced each year. Portugal's cork forests are one of the chief sources of wealth for the country. From them comes nearly one-half of the cork produced in the world. The United States imports from Portugal about three-fourths of the cork which it uses. South of the Tagus river the long occupation of the country by the Moors is evident not only through the architecture, but also, because of the appearance of the people. Almost pure Berber types are met in many parts of the district.
Its Rise as a Kingdom.
There was really no Portugal during Roman, Germanic and Moorish domination. Portugal may be considered to have begun to emerge for the first time in 1086 when the Spanish crown, having conquered a small part of the northern portion of the present Portugal, made it an hereditary countriship. The rise of Portugal from this small beginning to an important kingdom and then an empire constitutes perhaps the most spectacular development of a nation to be found in modern history. The son of the first count, Alfonzo Henriques, made his country independent of Spain and himself its king. He then began what was practically a crusade against the Moors to the south, and with the assistance of Christian knights from other countries of Europe, succeeded in driving the infidels from Lisbon in 1147. He and his successors continued the fight, and by about the hundredth anniversary of the fall of Lisbon the entire 'area of the present Portugal had been freed of Moorish dominion.
The country continued to grow in importance, wealth and power. Prince Henry the Navigator became the patron of navigation early in the Fifteenth century, and under his encouragement Portugal's great page of discovery and colonization began to be written. The Portuguese were the first of the Europeans to have the necessary vision to make an ordered search for the hidden places of the earth; and their sailors were the first to establish contact between Europe and a large part of the then unknown world, both east and west.
But if the rise of Portugal was rapid, its fall from great power and wealth was equally swift. Its man power was severely drained to take care of its extensive possessions and its even broader spheres of influence. Even then colonial affairs were managed rather poorly and there came the inevitable reaction. Weak kings at home with spendthrift proclivities combined to undermine Portugal's rapidly built over-seas empire; and the competition of other nations which went about the building of empires more methodically was no unimportant factor in the displacing of Portugal from the foremost position in world affairs which she had won so quickly and with such seeming ense.
Even though shorn of many of its former possessions, Portugal still controls more than 800,000 square miles of colonial dependencies, chiefly in Africa. The possession of this extensive territory makes Portugal the fourth colonial power of the world, if Russia be disregarded.

MEDICAL PROFESSION FIGHTING CANCER The American Medical profession throughout the country is waging a fight against cancer, similar to that which has been so successful in reducing tuberculosis or consumption, known as the white plague. The churches have been asked to co-operate in this educational work by permitting physicians to speak at some of their public services on this dread malady. In keeping with this nationwide movement the Colored Medical Association of Omaha, co-operating with the physicians of the city have made the following assignments:
Grove M. E., November 6th, 11 a.m., Dr. Wesley Jones; Mt. Moriah Baptist, No. 6, 11 a.m., Dr. R. C. Riddle; Pilgrim Baptist, Nov. 6, 8 p.m., Dr. D. W.
