MERE CHILD VICTIM OF RING Fourteen Year Old Girl Lured from Alabama Home Gets Note to the Police, Who Effect Her Rescue. Chicago, Ill., Dec. 8.—With the arrest of Jake Pruitt, agent for scores of vice resorts in Chicago and other northern cities, the police and welfare organizations believe that they have in custody the chief of the gang who make regular trips to southern towns and cities for the purpose of luring pretty Negro girls to houses of ill fame in the big cities of the north. The arrest of Pruitt was effected following a clear case made against him on a charge of bringing Thelmia Jones, pretty fourteen year old colored girl, from Samantha, Ala., to one of the most noted vice resorts in Chicago, frequented for the most part by white men and foreigners. Made Attractive Offers to Girl The little Jones girl was rescued from the den of vice after she had thrown a note from the window telling of her being held a captive by the inmates of the resort. The note was picked up by a woman who passed the place and it was turned over to the police department. Headed by Captain Hargraves, several officers of the vice squad raided the house and after a diligent search failed to find the girl. Not willing to give up the search readily, they continued to go through every room of the house, and when they came near a concealed door they heard the crying of some one and upon touching a place in the wall, the opening was readily revealed and there they found the little Jones girl with hands tied and a well-made muffier over her mouth. Taken from Alabama School The officers took the little girl down to the detention home and seated in the midst of a half dozen or more, she tol da very pathetic story in an intelligent straight forward manner. "I was attending school in my Alabama town," said little Thelma, "when that man over there," pointing to Jake Pruitt, "came around and told my mother and father that he could give me employment in a silk mill up here that would pay me good wages. He said that I would only have to work six hours a day and would be given a comfortable home with a nice family. When my parents decided to let me come to Chicago, I notified Mr. Pruitt, according to his instructions, and when I reached Chicago, he met me at the station. Fought Whites and Chinese "We got into an automobile and rode to many places in the city until it began to grow dark and then we came to the house where the officers found me. I was greeted by two women who told me that I would not have to work, but would have plenty of money if I would only follow their instructions. That same night I fought off the advances of more than a dozen white men and three Chinamen, and at one time during the night had to fight off one of the women who stayed at the house who attempted to hold me for one of the Chinamen. "They called me a fool, a little country girl, and threw pillows and slippers at me and finally locked me up and wouldn't give me anything to eat. The paper and pencil used in writing the note which rersulted in my rescue was slipped from the pocket of one of the white men as he lay across my bed in a drunken stupor. The women at the house took all of the pencils, pens and paper from me." Pruitt Thru Third Degree Carptain Hargraves expressed determination to break up such activities as has been practiced by Jake Prutt and with an idea of getting the real facts as to his activities, put him through the third degree and the information which he gave revealed startling facts in the efforts of a gang of men who operate throughout the South and lure scores of pretty, buxom colored girls from their homes to dens of vice in Northern and Eastern cities.

GRAND LODGE OF NEBRASKA LAYS CORNER STONES Six Local Lodges Unite in Impressive Ritualistic Ceremonies of the Craft at Two Church Functions. GRAND MASTER YOUNG HERE Three Hundred Masons Are in Line and Large Congregations Witness Corner Stone Laying at Bethel and St. John's. A most unusual, if not unprecedented, event in church and Masonic circles took place here Sunday afternoon, when the Most Worshipful Grand Master of Nebraska and its jurisdiction, laid the cornerstone of two Methodist churches, in the presence of several hundred people. The first ceremony took place at two o'clock, when R. H. Young, M. W. G. M., assisted by Geo. T. Robinson, Master of Omaha Lodge, No. 9, who did the ritualistic work, laid the corner stone of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church at Franklin Street, just west of Twenty-fourth street, Rev Fred Divers, pastor. The second ceremony was held later when the same officials laid the corner stone of the handsome and imposing St. John's African Methodist Episcopal Church, which is being erected at Twenty-second and Willis Avenue, and of which the Rev. W. C. Williams is pastor. In these impressive ceremonies the six local lodges of our people participated. These were Rough Ashler, No. 1; Excelsior, No. 2; Rescue, No. 4; Omaha, No. 9; Hiram, No. 10; and St. John, No. 11. Over 350 Masons were in the line of march, which was ably directed by P. H. Jenkins, grand marshall, and his efficient aides, C. M. Simmons, George Dudley and Charles Early, assistant marshals. The chief grand officers who supported Grandmaster Young were W. P. Wade, D. D. G. M.; Walter Seals, D. G. M.; Emery R. Smith, G. S. W.; Maynard L. Wilson, grand secretary, and J. H. Wakefield, grand treasurer. Lists of records deposited in stones were read by Grand Secretary Wilson. At Bethel Church music was furnished by DesDunes' band, and the address was delivered by the Rev. Fred Divers, pastor. At St. John's church the U. B. F. band furnished the music, the oration was given by D. S. Cunningham, Master of Rescue Lodge, and the address by the Rev. F. Jesse Peck, D. D., president of Western University, Kansas City, Kansas. Liberal collections were taken up at each function. SHERIDAN, WYO., NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Al.

Pierce, Efficient Field Agent for Extension Work in Eight States, Reports Signs of Progress. BOYS MAKE GOOD RECORDS Negro Farm-Demonstration Agents Win Support and Co-operation of White Citizens and Officials. (By Wm. Anthony Aery) Hampton, Va., Dec. 8—Negro farm-demonstration work in Virginia, carried on in 23 counties through the cooperation of Federal and State agencies, which aim "to place country life upon a higher plane of profit, comfort, culture, influence and power," to quote the late Seaman A. Knapp, father of the farm-demonstration movement in the United States, has been an extraordinary success. John B. Pierce of Hampton Institute, field agent of extension work in agriculture and home economics among Negroes in eight Southern States—Arkansas, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia—has reported these facts for a single year's work among Negro farmers of Virginia: (1) County farmers' advisory boards, 23, served the local Negro county agents in their work for the best development of rural life. (2) Farmers' community clubs, 295, with a membership of 7255, aimed to secure an adequate supply of food and feed for rural families, as well as better physical equipment for farm work; to spread the gospel of thrift; to stimulate interest in better schools; to promote wholesome recreation; and to increase true religion. (3) Annual county farmers' conferences, 20, aimed to instruct and inspire farmers. (4) County boards of supervisors of 20 counties and Negro farmers of 5 counties contributed $4641 for salaries of local agents. (5) Co-operative buying among Negro farmers in 23 counties amounted to $16,536.64, at a saving of $4121.80. Seed, fertilizer, lime, and other farm necessities were bought co-operatively. (6) Nearly 10,000 farmers improved their corn crop. Of this number 1896 made enough to serve them for one year and had some to sell 3185 had enough for their own use for one year; and 4622 had enough to carry themselves for six months. (7) Individual cotton growers secured yields of 887 pounds of seed cotton to the acre; the average yield per acre on demonstration farms was 1400 pounds of seed cotton. (8) The Negro tobacco growers, accepting the five-year contract idea, joined the Tobacco Growers' Co-operative Marketing Association. The average yield per acre on demonstration farms was 683 pounds, against 483 pounds per acre on commonly tilled ground.

(11) Negro farmers introduced pure-bred sires to improve the quality of their dairy cattle, swine and poultry. (12) Numerous farm and farm-stead improvements were made: There were 30 farms on which the water system was improved; 248 on which sanitary privies were erected; and 30 homes in which lighting systems were installed.

The bouquet was at the Pulitzer home when Clemenceau returned from a three-hour ride in St. Louis County. The card on the bouquet read: The note is signed by several names, representing the colored citizens of St. Louis. Accompanying the flowers was a letter. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 1, 1922. Hon. Georges Clemenceau:— We, the undersigned committee, on behalf of the colored citizens of St. Louis and the ex-soldiers of color who served in the army of the United States during the World War, extend to you greetings; and we wish it were possible to convey to you and your beloved France some adequate idea of our unbounded gratitude for the words of manly inspiration which you give in defense of our African brothers, the Colonial French. We have been made glad to have you declare before America and the world the just commendation of these men who stood as a solid wall against the overthrow of civilization, and the millions of our own people who made the supreme sacrifice in saving not only America, but the world in that desperate struggle for existence. We feel safe in saying to magnanimous France that in any future call to America for armed assistance against a common danger, the Negroes of America will eagerly respond to save France and her splendid ideals from destruction. We wish, through you, to say to France that it is with much gratitude we recall her just and kindly treatment of our colored soldiers while in her territory, and the many recognitions of merit and bravery which they wear with honor and deep appreciation. And our gratitude to you and to France is but deeper when we remember that upon their return from France, many were humiliated and made the target of murderous attacks, mobbed and lynched, and their emblems snatched from their breasts. Long live France! Long live her ideals. Long live Georges Clemenceau! Gratefully submitted on behalf of the colored Americans of St. Louis.

GROWING THANK YOU ber 387 Vol. VIII—No. 23 HOWN UP COMMUNISTS TO SUPPORT RACE EQUALITY MOVE Third Internationale Has Adopted a Resolution- Declaring Negroes Must be Admitted to Trade Unions in U. S. FOR LIBERATION OF NEGRO Millions of Communists Throughout the Entire World to Support Fight for Full Political and Social Freedom of Race. Moscow, Dec. 10—(Crusader Service)—The Third Internationale has adopted a resolution declaring the United States is destined to play an important part in the struggle of the African race for liberty, and that inasmuch as America today is the centre of the Negro culture of the world, it is in that country that communist campaign to bring freedom to the Negroes of all countries should be concentrated. The resolution was drawn up by a special commission of the Internationale appointed to consider the Negro question. One member of the Commission was an American Negro, who has been very active in championing the cause of his race. He has been aided by several whites from the United States. The resolution, which was adopted with a dissenting vote, declares the Negro question has become a live issue in connection with efforts toward a world revolution of the workers against their capitalist exploiters and that the Communist Internationale, recognizing it as such, call attention to it as a problem which must be dealt with. The resolution pledges the members of the Internationale to strive for the equality of Negroes and whites, and for the full political and social freedom of the African race. The aid which such action on the part of millions of the world's most militant workers will give to the cause of Negro liberation cannot be minimized. The Communists are today a tremendous figure in world affairs and their influence is felt in practically every country in the world. The resolution declares: "The communists will use all their power and influence with trade unions to admit Negroes as members, and if necessary, the Internationale will undertake a special campaign to achieve this end. If these efforts tail, the Internationale will organize special Negro unions to further the cause." The resolution further says the colored populations of Japan, China, India, Morocco and other countries are also struggling against oppression, having the same aims as those in the United States and elsewhere. The resolution says that if such a step is necessary, the Internationales will organize an all-Negro conference for the purpose of considering the betterment of the black race in all parts of the world. Detailing the history of Negroes in the United States, the resolution asserts that the civil war was merely a struggle between the capitalists of the north and the capitalist-planters of the south for domination, and not the struggle for Negro emancipation it is falsely reputed to have been.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PREXE FIRST IN SERVICE DEATH OF THE DYER BILL WITH an apparently all-powerful aril ray of influence among republican leaders the Dyer bill has been put to death in the United States Senate. It was killed wantonly and designedly by the democratic filibuster adroitly planned and determinedly used by the Southern bloc. The democrats openly and frankly avowed that their filibuster was for the sole purpose of killing the anti-lynching measure and that it would be continued until successful. The democrats continued their tactics until the republicans weakly surrendered and the Dyer Bill was given its death blow. This would not have been if any considerable number of the republican senators were honestly and sincerely in favor of the measure. Too many of them were only half-hearted in their support of the bill. True, it had a few earnest and sincere champions, men who fought for it from sincere convictions, but they were hopelessly in the minority. If all the powerful coterie who stated they were in favor of the measure had meant what they said the filibuster would have failed. The filibustering democrats would have met their Waterloo. Since the democrats foolishly elected to make the Dyer Bill a partisan and sectional question and planned to defeat it, the republicans should have been just as determined to have passed it or carried on the fight until doomsday, if necessary. Instead we have the humiliating spectacle of the South again working its sweet will in federal legislation and defeating a measure which would undoubtedly have helped the mob-rridden South in relieving itself from this burden. The defeat of this remedial legislation is due more to the half-hearted support of the republicans than to the determined opposition of the democrats. But the death of the Dyer Bill does not mean that the fight against lynching will stop; nor does it mean that ```markdown ``` MONITOR Devoted Primarily to the Interests Americans.

The friends of this measure, and they are legion throughout the country, will see to it that the fight for adequate federal legislation to suppress lynching will continue until victory is won. The Dyer Bill points the way. A GREAT VICTORY FROM a racial point of view the fight for the Dyer Bill has proven a great victory even now. How? It has united our group and taught us the value of united action. Our press has been a unit for the measure. Pulpit, rostrum, forum, school and lodge have massured their efforts on this measure and have created a most favorable impression. The intelligent and forceful work of the N. A. A. C. P. has borne rich fruit. It was this united action that accounted for its passage in the House and was responsible for its reluctant admission to the calendar in the Senate. In demonstrating the fact that there is at least one issue upon which the American Negro can and did forcefully unite a great victory has been won and a decided step forward has been taken BEING PALS THE Monitor is strongly of the opinion that many a domestic tragedy would be averted if husbands and wives would continue to be palms. When we say domestic tragedy, we mean the all too frequent breaking up of the all by the increasing crime of divorce. The estrangement which leads to the divorce court all too frequently begins in the failure upon the part of the man or the woman to be a pal; to like or take interest in the things which the other likes. Try the experiment of being palms after marriage like you were in the days preceding marriage and during the honeymoon, and see if the faults that now loom so large in each other and threaten domestic shipwreck do not disappear. Being genuine palms, as husband and wife, is much needed today. Honestly try it. DO NOT DISTRUST BANKS THE fact that a good number of our people have deposits in the American State Bank which has just closed may discourage some from putting their money in banks. This should not be. Fortunately, due to the state guarantee fund, no depositors will lose a single penny. This is quite different from what it used to be. There may be a few day's delay in getting one's money, but the money is safe. Do not distrust banks, but continue to use them in saving your money. Our people are learning to save and banks and like savings institutions are the proper places to put your money. Battling Siki has learned the American trick of keeping in the limelight. Those who would buy this Senegalese for a fool would be badly swindled. He knows haw to keep in the newspapers. ISN'T LUCIUS JONES A HERO? "If a Negro is good enough to die or to suffer grievous wounds on the battlefields of Europe, isn't he good enough to occupy the German towns until the final peace settlement?" This was the question on the tongue of Lucius Jones, wounded soldier, when he interrupted Senator Hitchcock's tirade in the Senate recently against Clemenceau, and the French government's use of black troops. Of course Jones' action was against the rules of the Senate, but after all it is not bad enough for an ex-soldier to spend the balance of his life a cripple, without having to sit down quietly and hear United States Senators rail about the use of colored troops in Germany? Isn't Jones' action a stern rebuke to men of the Hitchcock and Heflin type? Isn't he a type of the black hero, who will refuse from now on to bear insults without protest?—Baltimore Afro-American. vice of summons in this action may be had by publication as is by law made and provided, for obtaining constructive upon non-resident defendants.

TOOTH PASTE MANUFACTUR- ED BY LOCAL RACE FIRM Dentil is the name of one of the best tooth pastes on the market today. It has no superior and few equals. It is manufactured by the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories of this city. The laboratories are located in the three story brick building and frame annex at Sixteenth street near Cumings. Suppose only one-tenth of the colored population of Omaha would buy one tube of "Dentil" a month at 25 cents per tube, how long do you think it would take to mak ethe Kaffir Chemical Laboratories one of the strongest race enterprises in the country. Do you use "Dentol?" If not, why not buy a tube and try it?

BLANCHE BLAIR, 2722 College St. Toronto, Canada, Dec. 8.—(Associated Negro Press.)—On Armistice Day, as the great Centaph was being decorated with flowers, tablets and memorials were receiving similar decorations throughout the city. In a place of honor in the Hall of the Ontario parliament building is a large tablet dedicated "To the Colored Boys Who Will Never Come Back". It too, received its floral wreath. It recalled to memory the first Armistice Day when the tablet, which was purchased through the efforts of Mr. J. R. B. Whitney, was unveiled by Premier E. C. Drury, as hundreds of both races stood at attention. There was no ceremony this year but many Torontonians made a pilgrimage to this sacred spot. ROOMING HOUSE FOR SALE— 2417 Caldwell street. A.

A. A. C. P. meet the third Sunday of each month in a reg- ular forum; Resolved—2. That in order to allay the constant confusion caused by the constant change of the meeting place, that this monthly meeting be held at some centrally located place, such as the Grove Methodist Church; Resolved,—3.

SUGAR-FOOT SNOWBALL COMING TO THE GAYETY Famous Colored “Harmonica Playing Fool” Featured With “Hippity Hop” Show. _ “Hippity Hop”, a show title indicat. ing the speed and smartness of Peck (& Kolb’s offering at the popular Gayety theatre week startin Saturday matinee, will have MacAlister and ‘Shannon as featured principals in a ‘company numbering. close to fifty ex- ‘perienced burlesquers and comedy ‘purveyors. Because of the gorgeous- ‘ness of the costuming and the large ‘and active assemblage of pretty girls ‘to wear the many changes in raiment ‘the daily matinees are expected to be of unusual appeal to the ladies who delight in the newest fashions and thrills of expert costume design- ers. In the company will be a score of dancing show girls to lift the many musical numbers into prominence as mediums of entertainment. ‘The pro- ducers declare that expense has been the least consideration in equipping with costumes, scenery and draperies this new offering. Mattie DeLece, prima donna; Kity Madison, sou- brette; Irene Leary and Nina Mack, ingenues, and Alliene Rogers, come- diene, will each step forward during the passing scenes as leaders of the show girls in song and dance num- bers that have been staged with novel effects. Matt Kolb has complied “Hippity Hop” with a view to getting the last ounce of entertainment out of the Jozen talented principals. As a result double value will be contributed by MacAlister and Shannon and their Jeading supporters.
