Prompt Aid Offered WILBERFORCE, O., Dec. 22.—Shorter Hall at Wilberforce University, was completely destroyed by fire, Wednesday night, December 7th. From an investigation on the part of the authorities at the University, and also on the part of the State Fire Marshal's Office, it appears that the fire must have started from defective wiring in the attic of the north wing of the building. The fire was discovered by students who were returning to the building from weekly prayer service which was conducted at Galloway Hall, at the other side of the campus. President J. A. Greeg, who conducted the prayer meeting, and Secretary Jenkins who lives directly across from the building, were the first officials in the building after the alarm was sounded. They directed the few boys who were already striving to put out the fire. They were soon joined by Superintendent Berry, Bishop J. H. Jones, Dean Jones, W. A. Anderson and other members of the faculty and friends from the neighborhood. Had there been adequate fire fighting appartus on hand the building might have been saved. Appeals for help were sent to nearby towns but none would respond, and the authorities at Xenia, the nearest town, when called upon, refused to come. Everything possible was done to save the building and when it finally became certain it was doomed, the boys were directed to save whatever they could. Very little was salvaged, however, which left a total loss of several thousand dollars and two hundred boys without homes, and many of them without clothing. Superintendent Berry and Dean Woodson very generously threw open the doors of their departments, and a committee called by President Gregg, including Bishop Jones and the heads of departments, was able to plan on the housing of students and the care of the college department, whose class rooms were on the first floor of Shorter. Mr. H. E. Schmidt of Xenia was instrumental in getting Governor Davis to send one hundred cots and two hundred blankets to President Gregg, to be distributed to the young men whose bedding was lost in the conflagration. The local Red Cross unit under Miss Schaeffer has offered aid, and people generally are doing all possible to care for the wants of the students. EVIL OF PEONAGE NOT YET CRUSHED SAYS DAUGERTY WASHINGTO, D. C., Dec. 22.—The annual report of Attorney General Daugherty has just been published, and contains some statements that will excite wide comment. It is frankly admitted, in this report, that peonage still exists, to some extent in the Southern states. IN OTHER WORDS—THE SLAVE DAYS ARE NOT OVER. The report reads in part as follows: "The victims are almost always extremely poor, ignorant and friendless," said Daugherty. "Many times it appears that county officers conspire with the employers to force these unfortunates into bondage, which is worse than outright slavery." The attorney general said federal agents have been instructed to stop the practice and several cases have successfully been prosecuted. Propagandists Busy "Som of the cases in the hundreds of those reported received have been exteremely aggravated and in several instances the poor victims have been murdered when it was discovered by the employer that this bureau was conducting an investigation," Daugherty said. "In such cases bureau agents have been instructed to work with the state authorities, and convictions for murder have resulted in some instances. The very helplessness of this class of citizens impels the bureau to proceed with all possible vigor, and the salutary effect is beginning to appear." THE MONITOR KELLY-BUCKNER WEDDING Zion Baptist church was filled last Saturday night by friends of the contracting parties to witness the marriage of Miss Mary Buckner to LeRoy Kelly. The church was artistically decorated with palms. Prior to the ceremony Miss Mattie Hendrix sang an appropriate solo.

BADLY WOUNDED, IS TAKEN FROM HOSPI-TAL AND LYNCHED Victim Alleged Strike Breaker Who Was Charged With Shooting Two Pickets In Alteration Over Work NURSE VAINLY PLEADS with mob FORT WORTH, Tex., Dec. 22. While the conflict between the packers and striking stock yards employees raged throughout the country, with varying degrees of violence, it remained for Texas to resort to the favorite Southern form of outlawry and lynch Fred Rouse, a packing house employee who was being used as a strike breaker. Shot Two Pickets Rouse was beaten and left for dead upon the streets after he had shot two pickets who had attempted to prevent him from entering the stock yards during the strike. After being left for dead by the mob he was picked up and taken to the city hospital. When it was learned that he had not died, thirty men called at the hospital and demanded him. Attaches first refused to surrender their patient, but finally submitted when told by the mob that he would be taken by force if necessary. Rouse made a desperate effort to fight the members of the party as he was being dragged from the hospital, but he was weakened by loss of blood from his previous beating. Twenty minutes later his body was found dangling from a tree by Chief of Police Hamilton. Lynchin in Nightshirt He was dressed only in his night-shirt, which was torn and bloody, and his body riddled with bullets. He was hanged to the same tree from which Tom Vickery was lynched just a year ago. When the mob entered the hospital a nurse pleaded with them to wan until he had recovered from his wounds but one of the lynchers answered that "he was going to die anyhow, so it didn't make any difference."

One of those lynched was a colored woman. Three were white men. Since the Dyer bill was favorably reported by the Committee on the Judiciary, on October 31, 1921, there have been seven lynchings, one body being publicly burned, in Helena- Arkansas.

They refused to accept the challenge after first agreeing to it. The reason is that they could not be Big John Trice, their star tackle, with them. Trice is colored, and is one of the greatest football players ever developed in this section. He is to East Tech what the famous Fritz Pollard was to Brown University, what Shellbruen was to Dartmouth and what "Duke" Slater is to Iowa. Trice could not go to Bryan without being embarrassed and members of the team voted unanimously to reject the long trip during the holidays on this account. "He gave us the best he had—we owe it to him," said one member of the team. Faculty Manager Gordon B. Frost then sent Coach C. B. Hudson at Bryan a telegram telling him that the trip was impossible.

MARINES CHARGED WITH THE OUTRAGES AGAINST NATIVES Weged Atocrieties In Hatii And Santa Domingo Are Being Probed by The Senatorial Cimmission Now On Ground INDEPENDENCE IS DEMANDED SANTO DOMINGO, (via naval radio) Dec. 16.—Stories of alleged military atrocities fill the record of the first 10 days' hearings by the senatorial commission investigating American occupation of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Celiccow Rozier testified that on June 19, 1919, she saw her eight children, seven girls and one boy, killed by forces under Captain Becker. Forced to Bury Body Lidor Romain testified forces under Lieutenant Williams, beat his mother to death and then compelled him to bury the body. Former Communal Magistrate Massade told the committee that these witnesses were probably friendly to the Cascos guerrilla forces. The senatorial commission arrived 'n Santo Domingo yesterday, after five days spent in the interior and a four-day hearing at Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The commission's progress through the island was marked with imposing demonstrations demanding abolition of martial law, independence and the restoration of constitutional perogatives. Hearings were held at Santa Marc, Gonaives, Maisade, Cape Haitian and Hinche, Eight witnesses were heard at Hinch and 16 at Maisade. Hereaux Belloni testified that in June, 1920, his father and mother were taken from their home at midnight and shot, and that their home was then burned. Salvir Fleurin testified she saw her father, mother, sister and two young brothers shot. Joaquin Nord gave a detailed account of the killing of his wife. "What does Santo Domingo want?" demanded Senator Pomreance in opening today's hearing of former American Minister, Francisco Peyando. "Our independence with the assurance of American friendship," he replied. "That's all we want." ANTI LYNCHING BILL UP WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—After a bitter fight the house voted to take up the Dyer anti-lynching bill under a rule limiting general debate to ten hours. Leaders, however, have agreed that the measure will not be pressed to a final vote before the Christmas process MIDNIGHT MASS STEADILY GROWING THANKS ALL AROUND! WAR DEPARTMENT OPPOSES CLEMENCY FOR THE SOLDIERS Efforts On Behalf of Members Of Twenty-Fourth Infantry Serving Prison Sentences Meets Decided Opposition WAR SECRETARY STATES WHY WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 22.--Colored citizens throughout the country are up in arms against the opposition furnished by the War Department in granting clemency to the sixty-three former members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, who are in prison on a charge of participating in the Houston riots of August, 1917. The decision of the War Department was made public Thursday when Secretary Weeks wrote to Chairman Kahn of the House Military Committee. "The only reason clemency has not been extended and is not now recommended," Weeks stated, "is that on account of the offenses of which these men clearly were guilty they are not entitled to such clemency." Secretary Weeks then reported that fifty-eight of the 110 men convicted of participating in the riots were serving life sentences, while five others were in prison serving sentences of fifteen years each. Of the remainder, nineteen were executed, six have died in confinement and the rest either have served out their terms or have been granted clemency. Th resolution, introduced by Representative Anthony, Republican, of Kansas, recalled the famous cases of 1917, and it was believed that $\alpha$ close investigation into the War Department records would place a new light on the alleged hasty and summary conviction of the men. The measure is for the purpose of determining whether or not the men were convicted on circumstantial evidence, and if so, how far fetched. Mrs. Pinkie Porter and Mr. Frank Burden were united in marriage last Thursday and have gone to housekeeping. Messrs. R. H. Young, C. T. Denton and H. M. Hill were Omaha visitors Saturday and Sunday.

THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRESS MEMBER OF FIRST IN SERVICE CHRISTMAS! How the heart thrills with joy at the mere mention of this almost magic word! Certainly this is true of all the dwellers within Christendom. All mankind, high and low, rich and poor, young and old, are more or less under the spell of this sacred season. All feel its influence, even tho' there may be some who do not understand its significance or knowledge its obligations. Whence comes the joy of Christmastide? Why does it strike such a responsive chord in every normal human breast? To what great truth does it bear witness? What fact or facts, which grip the souls of men and women, does it attest For there is something potent in the spell of Christmastide which can only be accounted for upon the ground of its answer to some longing within the universal human heart. And such a longing there is. That longing, that desire—felt through ages all along—is for union, companionship, fellowship with God, nearness to God. "Oh, that I might find God, and know Him and be found of Him" expresses the attitude of the normal human soul. And Christmas and the fact for which it stands and to which it bears witness is the answer to this desire. Theologians call the Fact to which Christmas bears witness the Incarnation. They mean by this what the Prophet sums up in the euphonic word "Emmanuel," God with us. In some wondrous way God has united Himself and taken up His abode with man. Without laying aside His Deity He has taken upon Himself our humanity. God the Son, out of love to mankind, took man's nature in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary of her substance, thus adding a pure human nature to His Divine Nature, Following the call of the tr line of woolens into three pop good tailoring and service. $30.00 $30 Into these three groups we ha We specialize on individual st THE GLASGOW TAILORS The Best Place in Omaha 310 So. 15th St. F.

Human nature was hereby taken into closest union with God and that for all eternity. The human hunger for union with God finds its answer in the Incarnation, "Emmanuel, God with us", explains the joy of Christmastide. And since the motive spring of God's wondrous Gift of His Only-Begotten Son was Love for Men, this explains the feeling of kindness and good will which marks this season. May the fullness of Christmas joy be yours is our wish for all our readers. ONLY when men give up and cease trying to accomplish that which is laudable and good are they defeat ed. In times of difficulty we are all prone to become too easily discounted and to give up. Keep up your courage and keep plugging away all ways doing your best. Never give up until you absolutely have to and then simply take breath and start again. THE older we grow and we are trying to grow old gracefully, always keeping our heart young, the more we are convinced that most men and women are really anxious to accomplish something worth while for their community, their race, humanity and themselves; but that we fail in knowing how to do it. We differ as to methods. We do not see eye to eye, but as our observation goes we believe that most men and women are really sincere in their desire to do some good in the world.

Forty Years Later Before It Was Offi cially Adopted as Christian Festival. CHRISTMAS was first celebrated in the year 98, observes a writer, but it was 40 years later before it was officially adopted as a Christian festival; nor was it until about the Fifth century that the day of its celebration became permanently fixed on December 25. Up to that time it had been irregularly observed at various times of the year—in December, in April and in May, but most frequently in January. In Rome the Saturnalia, or feast of Saturn, fell at about the same time as our Christmas, and it marked the greatest festival of the Roman year. The city abandoned itself to gayety. Universal mirth was the order of the day; friends feasted friends, and foes were reconciled. All social distinctions were laid aside. Work was stopped, and no war was ever entered upon at that time. One by one other legends and customs have been disproved and overthrown, yet none has dared attack the legends and the customs sacred to Christmastide. It remains with us, and will always remain. Christmas marks the winter solstice. The days begin to lengthen, and the sun no longer journeys away from the earth, but enters upon its return. It is a promise of renewed light and warmth, of the approach of summer, and men hailed these signs with every expression of gladness. When Christianity spread abroad, men adapted the old customs of their ancestors to the new order of things. The word Yuletide, used to give a picturesque, oldtime flavor to the Christmas idea, comes from Yule, an old name for Christmas. The term springs from an English word used to designate the two months of December and January, one of which was called the "former Yule," the other the "after Yule." There is a legend which relates that it was the custom years ago for every Saxon household to burn the Yule log on Christmas eve. This was a great gnarled root or tree trunk, cut the day before Christmas and brought into the hall on Christmas eve with great ceremony and accompanied by music. Each member of the household would sing a Yule song, standing on the center of the log. In Germany and other European countries it was believed by the children that the Christmas tree glittering with candles and brightness, and the gifts found beneath the tree, were the work of jolly old St. Nicholas, or Santa Claus, as we know him. This kindly saint was no legendary character. He lived about 300 A. D., and was a noted bishop of Asia Minor. He was looked upon as a patron saint of generosity because of his liberality. The idea of St. Nicholas traveling in a sleigh drawn by reindeer originated in the cold northern countries. The reindeer were the swiftest animals known, and they must needs fly like the wind to carry St. Nick the rounds of the world in one night. Almost as important as the gift giving and gift receiving on Christmas day is the least of dahities spread on that occasion. But even the Christmas dinner has its origin in the dim, distant past. Feasts were always the accompaniment of any festival. In Egypt, at the winter solstice, every family killed and ate a goose as a religious observance. We preserve the custom of eating fowl on Christmas, but the toothsome turkey has more generally supplanted the goose. HE STICKS TO HIS "BUDDIE" Former Service Man Takes Up Collection and Saves Ex-Comrade From Jail Term. Bayonne, N. J.—That "buddies" of the battlefield stick together after they have become comrades of civil life was illustrated to a courtroom filled with interested spectators here recently. Michael Zwanick of this city, overseas service man, charged with a minor offense, was about to go to jail for 30 days in default of payment of a $25 fine. Joseph Rush, in the courtroom crowd, recognized the young prisoner as a man with whom he had served in the campaign in France. Taking his hat, Rush started a collection in court. Then he went out and made a house-to-house canvass which netted him enough for the fine and costs. Recorder Cain accepted the payment and released the soldier, who declared it was his first and last time before the bar. Both men are members of the American Legion here and they served together in Company H, Two Hundred and Tenth infantry.

THE 1800 CHRISTMAS FIRST YULETIDE DINNER SERVED IN THE WHITE HOUSE. Haunch of Venison Graced the Table Presided Over by the Wife of John Adams. THE first dinner at Christmas given in the White House was given in the White House was that which took place in the year 1800, when John Adams was President and thrifty Alibagh, his wife, sat at the head of the table as hostess. It was not a comfortable meal, although a splendid haunch of venison, the gift of Mrs. Washington, graced the board, and the country people of what Mrs. Adams called "the City in the Wilderness" had generously contributed gifts of all sorts to make the feast as toothsome as one could well wish. The reception after dinner took place in the oval room, which is now the library, and was at that time barely habitable, though furnished, as Mrs. Adams wrote, in "warm crimson." The view from the windows on that first Christmas day wold have disclosed what John Cotton Smith describes as "a deep morass, covered with alder bushes." The sidewalks were laid with chips from the stones with which the capitol was built. A wooden bridge spanned Black Tiber Creek, and low houses, also built of wood were the residences of the congressmen. The only brick dwellings were those that stood in Pennsylvania avenue, between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets, six in number and built with money derived from the sale of lottery tickets.

LEWIS WETZEL, "DEATH WIND OF THE DELAWARES" Many of the great scouts did not become Indian fighters until they were men, but Lewis Wetzel started early. He killed his first Indian when he was only thirteen years old. Wetzel was born in Virginia in 1752. His father moved to the present site of Wheeling, W. Va., and was killed there by the Indians before the eyes of his sons. Lewis swore eternal enmity against all redskins. One day while he and his brother were roaming in the woods they were attacked by Indians. Lewis killed one of the savages and the next instant was hit by a bullet which carried away a piece of his breast bone. Both boys were taken captive. That night while the Indians slept, Wetzel worked loose the thongs which bo and him and then fastened his brother. After the boys had fled for about a mile they discovered that their moccasins were torn to shreds. Leaving his brother in hiding, Lewis returned to the Indian camp and, undetected by the sleeping savages, robbed them of two pairs of moccasins as well as a gun and some powder and lead. The next morning the Indians were hot on their trail and soon were close upon them. As the Indians approached, the boys stepped out of the trail into a clump of bushes, allowing their pursuers to speed past, and then they followed. Soon they neared the Indians coming back and again they stepped into the bushes and hid. The Wetzel boys played this dangerous game of hide-and-seek several times before they finally eluded the savages and returned in safety to their home. When Lewis Wetzel grew older he crossed over into Ohio and soon became one of the best-known scouts in the country. Wetzel was called "The Death Wind" by the Delawares whom he hated particularly. More than once a Delaware warrior trembled with fear as he heard a shrill, manning cry echoing through the forest, for it usually was followed soon afterward by a shot from the scout's deadly weapon which ended the redskin's life. In his later years Wetzel lost the respect of many people because he began killing all Indians he met, whether hostile or friendly, and several times he was imprisoned for shooting members of peaceable tribes. In his last days he became a lonely, bitter old man until death came to him in 1808. 24th and Lake Sts.
