NO. 45 SECO Texas SECRE RANGERS MURDERED INNOCENT PEOPLE,SAYS TEXAS REPRESENTATIVE Austin, Tex., Jan. 29.—Charges against the Texas Rangers were made on the floor of the house of representatives today by Representative J. T. Canales, while defending his measure to reorganize the state ranger service. Opposition of the measure compelled him to bring to light alleged outrages committed in Cameron county, Representative Canales asserted. One man arrested by rangers six months ago has not been seen since, charged the speaker, who also asserted that another taken from a jail by them later was found dead with three shots in his body. The rangers explained they freed the man and he committed suicide. Mr. Canales said. Men were taken from their homes and shot while dead bodies lay unburied for days, he charged. Representative George Terrell said he had been informed "by the best citizens of border counties that more innocent people have been murdered by rangers than by outlaws in that country." BLACK WOMAN SUES WHITE CONTRACTOR; BREACH OF PROMISE New York, Jan. 29.—Through the trial of an action before Municipal District Judge Richards in Brooklyn it was developed yesterday that a suit for $50,000 has been brought in the Supreme court by Annie Mills, colored, against Isaac Edgar Jersey of Bellerose, Long Island, a wealthy contracting and constructing engineer. She charges breach of contract in that he has failed to carry out an agreement to support her two children until they reach majority. Gave Her Limousine For 16 years, Jersey, who is married and has two children, allowed her two servants, a limousine and all the luxuries enjoyed by a woman of means. She said she met him when she was 14 years old and four years later her mother learned of the life she was living, found her and had her sent to an institution, where she remained a year. Soon after coming out, she swears, she met Jersey on the street. After that she boarded in different houses for a time until he bought her a home in Grand avenue, Brooklyn. This, she asserts, "through fraud and deceit," he got her to transfer to his wife and then began charging her rent. When she refused to pay he brought an action for $200. She Wins Point When all evidence had been taken Justice Richards charged the jury as follows: "The question for you to determine is whether this woman was a tenant of the plaintiff or whether this action is a subterfuge to conceal the fact that she is his mistress." The jurors, after brief deliberation, found in favor of the Negrass. A PLEA FOR JUSTICE BY BISHOP CONNOR OF AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH ENID, OKLA., Jan. 27.—Bishop J. M. Conner, D. D., who is holding conference in Oklahoma, has condemned lynching, crime criminality of every kind. "Every lynching which occurs in America today says to the civilized world that we are not capable of executing law. "The white people of this country make the laws, construe the laws, keep the jails and execute the laws, and there is no way on earth for a guilty criminal to escape, and why they will not allow men to be tried is a mystery to me," declared the bishop. "and every American should hang his head in shame when a lynching occurs in this country. We hope that when the President of the United States is sitting around the peace table in France that there will not be an outbreak at home. Let all America can hold up its arms." Bishop Conner is accompanied by Revs. John A. Clayborne, representative of the A. M. E. Book Concern; V. M. Townsend, private secretary to the bishop; Charles Ctewart, Chicago, press agent, and Dr. S. L. Green. Dr. Townsend is being pushed by the district for the position of secretary of the Church Extension Society of the A. M. E. Church. He is one of the strongest ministers in the state. He has made some good, practical addresses during the session of the Oklahoma conference here. He was loud in his praises for the young men who made good in France, and wanted that they return home and make good. "There is greater need for strong men in the pulpits today than ever before," said Dr. Townsend, "and we must furnish them. The men who have been to Europe will return with a new vision. You must be able to reach them. Where they go we are going to follow them with the Gospel, and in this we will use strong intelligent men." The conference suspended business during the funeral services of the last Theodore Roosevelt. After singing "Shall We Meet Beyond the River?" resolutions were passed by the conference. $2,500 IN BOX IN DEAD WOMAN'S HOUSE ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Jan. 29.—An accidental discovery by appraisers at the home of Mrs. Mathilde Cardoner, 101 East Central avenue, added $2,500 to the wealth of the woman's estate. Opening a battered box that had been thrown on the floor, they found that it contained $2,500 in currency. The box had been on a closet shelf beside a box of soap and had been cast aside when the discovery was made. Mrs. Cardoner died here last September, leaving an estate estimated to be worth about $450,000, including $325,000 in Liberty Bonds. In addition to the box of money there was in the house some jewelry, including a pair of diamond earrings valued at $2,000. The house had not been occupied for four months. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1919 BLACK PEOPLE HAVE EXCLUSIVE CITY IN STATE OF ILLINOIS Lovejoy, Ill., Jan. 27.—This town takes its name from Owen Lovejoy, the martyr abolitionist who was mobbed murdered in the fifties because of his fight for freedom for the Negro. Lovejoy has a population of between 3,000 and 4,000. Of this number there are not more than a dozen white families. All of the officials are Negroes, the Mayor, Hon. J. H. Thomas, has served three terms. He is also president of the Board of Education. There are two schools in the city, one white and the other colored. The white school has only about 11 pupils. The colored school has a large attendance and has a faculty of five. There are three churches, two colored stores and one saloon. The town is modern in every respect, having electric lights and running water. Preparations are in process to lay granitoid sidewalks. As far as politics are concerned the town is Progressive in local politics and Republican in national affairs. FLIRTATION CARRIED ON BY MEANS OF TRAIN SIGNALS NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—By a system of "L" train whistle signals, Robert Lee Carter, a Brooklyn motorman, and Mrs. Irene Daniels carried on a flirtation and also arranged clendestine meetings, according to allegations made in court recently by Carter's wife. Mrs. Carter is suing Mrs. Daniels for $25,000 for alienation of her husband's affections. Charles Daniels, husband of the defendant, coincides with the views of the plaintiff. "When Carter was going to call on my wife," he testified, "he would toot the whistle once when he got opposite my home. Two whistles meant he would not meet her." Mrs. Carter is fifty. Mrs. Daniels is much younger, buxom and pretty. HOLLAND WAS USED AS DEPOSITORY FOR THE KAISER AMSTERDAM, Jan. 27.—Holland was not invaded like Belgium because it had been made a repository for private funds of both the kaiser and the Austrian emperor, the Hagschspost revealed today. The newspaper said $1,000,000 of Wilhelm's and $25,000,000 of Franz Josef were transferred from London to Dutch banks in July, 1914, at the request of the kaiser. The transfer was made by Prince Adolf of Schaumbueg-Lippe, the kaiser's late brother-in-law, who returned from London on July 17, 1914, in time for the kaiser to prepare to attack France and Belgium. Mr. Scales Indisposed— Mr. Chas L. Scales, chef at the Jefferson club, suffered a slight attack of flu, but is up again. The shortest definition of coal is "compressed sunshine." ANOTHER MEMBER OF PRESIDENT'S CABINET EXPECTED TO RETIRE WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—There is a real prospect that Secretary of War Baker will retire from President Wilson's cabinet. If he does, he will return to Cleveland, Ohio, and re-establish his law practice. His reason for resigning would have at the root the same cause at that inducing Secretary McAdoo and Attorney General Gregory to quit, namely, financial responsibilities, according to those in touch with him. Some of his friends suggest that he might be persuaded to remain in the cabinet if he were given the post of attorney general. But his real desire is to get back to his accustomed task. Baker has been under heavy financial expense while holding his cabinet place. Incidentally, under the spur of the Liberty loan drives it is known that he not only "did his bit," but borrowed money for taking on an extra portion of the loans. Baker may deny that he has given thought to resigning. And, if he actually decides to take the step it may be considerably delayed. But that he has given it consideration is definitely known. Incidentally, Baker is mentioned occasionally as a presidential possibility. PANCHO VILLA HANGS HIS OLD PARTNER IN PRESENCE AMERICANS Bandit Chieftain Loots Company Of fices of $4,000, Destroys Records, Kills Four Soldiers and Mayor JUAREZ Mex., Jan. 29.—American mining men were lined up and forced by Francisco Villa to witness the hanging of Antonio Cabello, former mayor of Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Wednesday morning, when Villa occupied the mining town sixteen miles from Chihuahua City, looted the safes of the mining companies, robbed the stores and houses of Americans and departed, after killing four federal soldiers and capturing the remaining thirty-one. The details of the raid were brought here tonight by passengers on the train from the state capital. Villa had 500 men, they said, and took $4,000 from the mining company offices after looting them and destroying the records. The hanging of the ex-mayor was the result of a grudge Villa held against him since they were partners in the cattle business. After forcing them to witness the hanging and telling them they must increase the wages of the Mexican miners, Villa permitted all of the Americans to go to Chihuahua City. Train service south of Chihuahua City was suspended today because of the Villa activities and he is reported in the vicinity of Parral tonight. Gen Jesus Agustin Castro, commander of the northeast, left for Chihuahua City today to take the field against Villa. NEW YORK APPOINTS COLORED MAN ON CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT FORCE NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—For the fourth time in its history, a colored man has been appointed a member of the fire department. He is Wesley Williams, who lives in the Bronx. Williams, who was named with 34 white men last Thursday, has been assigned to Engine Company 55, stationed on Broome street, near the Bowery. He began his duties yesterday. At fire headquarters it was said that his assignment had occasioned no comment among his white associates in the company, so far as could be learned. Williams, it was said, would continue to be stationed with the company, at least for the present. The third Negro who was appointed is John H. Woodson, who is now in active service with Engine Company 298 in this borough. WOMAN GIVES CHECK ON WRONG BANK FOR POLICE COURT FINE ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Jan. 30.—That Mrs. Lucia Romero, who had given them a check for $15 on the First National bank in payment of a fine, had no funds there was the verbal shock the police got when they presented the check at the bank on Thursday. The woman had been released hours before. After they recovered from the jolt, however, they gained some comforting information at the bank. It showed that the woman had not intended to try any J. Rufus Wallingford stuff, but apparently had made a mistake in her excitement after her first morning in police court. The police learned that she had money in the First Savings Bank & Trust company. She evidently forgot to substitute the trust company's name for the bank's after writing the check. Mrs. Romero was arrested late on Wednesday night by Patrolmen Dionicio Chavez, who reported that he found her and Jose Merino at the Mount Alton hotel on South Second street. They were charged with disorderly conduct, and when they faced Police Judge McClellan both pleaded guilty to the charge. Both were fined the same amount—$15—and the woman paid hers with the check. As a result of the case the police filed a charge against D. Morelli, manager of the Mount Alton, accusing him of falling properly to keep a hotel register. He was fined $25. January 27.-Col. Roscoe C. Simmons, the nationally known Negro orator, has left for Europe, where he goes as the correspondent for the Chicago Defender. Mr. Simmons will visit the peace conference and later many other points in Europe in order to get first-hand accounts of the activities of the Negro in the great world war. WIFE REFUSED TO LIVE WITH HUSBAND AND IS BRUTALLY MURDERED CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Jan. 29.— Infuriated by the repeated refusal of his wife to return to their home, Jesse Grimes, Colored, yesterday afternoon about 5:30 turned a pistol on her and with perfect aim sent a bullet through her heart, death resulting instantly. The frenzied husband then emptied his weapon at his wife's family, inflieting a probably fatal wound in the abdomen of his wife's stepfather, an old man named Jerdon Chison, and shot his wife's sister, Eva Henderson, through the arm. Immediately after the shooting, which happened at the home of Chison at 6 1-2 Leavitt street, South Chattanooga, Grimes dashed off into the semi-darkness and at a late hour was still at large. An immense crowd was attracted by the noise of the shooting. Police headquarters was notified, and Detective Paradiso and Patrolmen Gillespie and Hyatt were rushed to the scene. The body of the dead woman, Alberta Grimes, was removed to Wann's. Chison was carried in Wann's ambulance to Erlanger hospital, and Eva Henderson was brought to the police station, where her wound was dressed by Dr. Atkins. A rapid search was begun for Grimes within a few minutes after the shooting. The mother of Alberta Grimes and other members of the family, it is said, were the object of threats made by Grimes as he left, and further casualties were feared unless the husband's frenzy cooled after he was out of sight o the blood he had shed. Grimes is about 25 years of age, very black, and, in his working clothes at the time of the shooting, had on blue overalls and wore tan shoes. He is an employee of the Acme Manufacturing company and lived at 1410 Central avenue. According to the story of the tragedy told to a reporter by Evan Henderson, while her wound was being treated at the police station, the shooting was entirely without provocation. She states that her sister left Grimes a short time ago and he had been trying since to persuade her to return. Grimes came to the Chison home yesterday morning and was given breakfast. He showed no evidence of spleen at that time. Late yesterday afternoon he returned and made a scene, says the woman, at the back gate of the house. He renewed his importunities to his wife to come back to him and when the sister expostulated with him and told him to leave his wife alone, he seemed to lose control of himself completely. The pistol was out in a twinkling, Evan Henderson, she says, made a frantic effort to knock it out of his hand, but he half knocked her down, and wrenching the weapon from her hand, shot his wife, who was standing in the yard a few feet from him. Then he leveled the weapon at stepfather and sister in succession and after it was emptied, sped away, leaving his vietnamese prone on the ground. The Chison family seems well-conducted and orderly and sympathy of the people in the neighborhood seems to have been for the most part with the wife in the trouble with her husband, which led to their separation. 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year Men OFFIGE GERMANY MAY FORCE SECOND WORLD WAR IS BELIEF OF GEN. FOCH Gen. Foch Declares French Must Hold Rhine as Barrier to German Aggression and Safeguard the Peace of the World. TREVES, Prussia, Jan. 21.—(By courier to Nancy.)—Warning that Germany may attempt to force a second world war within a few years, Marshal Foch told American newspaper correspondents that France must hold the entire west bank of the Rhine to protect herself from further aggressions. He called upon the allies to establish a new "Watch on the Rhine." Foch began the interview which was granted at the conclusion of the armistice conference, with a statement of his warm appreciation of the American armies, declaring that "Nobody will ever forget what America did." "We must have peace absolute," said Foch. "Our success must guard us against future agression. France has the right to take effective measures of protection, after her formidable efforts to save civilization. Her natural frontier, which will protect civilization, is the Rhine. It is on the Rhine we must halt the Germans. It is by using the Rhine that we must make it impossible for Germany to repeat the coup of 1914. The Rhine is a common barrier for all the allies, a guarantee of the peace of all nations. "France is ready to safeguard the interests of mankind. Those interests are at stake on the Rhine. Is is there we must prepare to obviate painful surprises of the future. Let us watch together so that we will not lose the fruits of the common victory. Let us remain united as we were in battle." Foch asked who could say whether Germany, where democratic ideals are so recent, will not within a few years attempt a second world war. The marshal related several interesting incidents in connection with the Argonne drive. He said that General Pershing naturally wanted his own armies in his own sector. Foch told him the Argonne was a difficult country, but that "your men have the devil's own punch; they'll get away with it; go to it!" "And now we are on the Rhine," Foch concluded with a grin. In answer to a question, Foch said the armistice came too soon inasmuch as a great attack was prepared to be launched four days after the date on which hostilities ceased. But the Germans granted everything required in the armistice and it was inadvisable to continue because of the useless waste of lives. N. A. A. C. P.

EVERYTHING MUSICAL REDEWILL MUSIC CO. PHOENIX ARIZONA 222-224 MWASH ST 6 BALDEN BROTHERS BALDEN BROTHERS BALDEN BROTHERS PUNISHMENT FOR EX KAISER BEING DIS- PARIS, Jan. 29.—The next plenary meeting of the peace conference is not expected for a week or longer, when the league of nations question will be submitted. Lord Robert Cecil is understood to have a series of resolutions prepared forming the basis of the league, but probably it will be found that America and France will submit resolutions with a similar object. Then all three sets will be referred to a strong commission of the plenary conference after it has affirmed the main principles. In the meantime most of the smaller powers, like the big ones, have already prepared in advance memoranda on the subject of responsibility for the war, the economic losses incurred and the indemnity suggested. These also will be referred to the commission for investigation and report. Trial of the kaiser is understood to be recommended by all the powers, big and little, but there is likely to be a difference of opinion respecting the character of the punishment to be meted out to him if he is found guilty. Belgium and France, naturally, favor the death penalty for him and for the crown prince, but banishment to some undesirable climate under rigorous conditions probably will be the ultimate decision. The controversy over press rights seem likely to result in a duel between two of our irascible French confreres. M. Saint-Brice, a distinguished writer on Le Journal, bitterly complains that in L'Humanite and La Verite, two Socialist organs, the actions of one of the French delegates at the press conference was grossly misrepresented by asserting that he was in favor of secrecy. Saint-Brice, after vindicating himself, adds significantly: "I'm not one of those who consider as sufficient reparation the exposure of the defamer, and I reserve to myself the right of further action." This is taken to mean a challenge to a duel. The American correspondents are determined to attend this event if it comes off as, after all, it would be an offshoot of the peace conference to which the publicity rule would not apply. There is no better soil in which to germinate the seeds of Bolshevism than in the mind of a man or a woman out of a job, unable to get a job at good wages, and without money. of all that has been Behr B ument that YOU w ere of having one of NJOY MUSIC whi no NOW.

THE PECULIAR MISSION OF THE NEGRO JOURNAL (California Eagle) The Negro journal shoulders graver responsibility than any other so-called Race or class journal in the country; first of all, it is impossible for this peculiarly classed journal to cope in volume with other journals; for the average Negro journal is launched on faith, while others are launched on finance. Hence, the popular question asked by its readers is, "Why can't we have a nswspaper like other folk"—as a rule the persons who ask this question would not spend two dollars per year on a Race paper, but borrow their neighbor's long enough to pick flaws. They complain about the type not setting straight up or some person's name being miss-spelled or the diction or rhetoric not according to the best authority. As a rule they close their critical remarks in the language of a disgruntled deacon by stating that those folks just won't do—now, that's all. However, the Negro journal, humble as it is today, is the only outstanding champion of the Race. Its mission is far-reaching. Not only does it make sentiment for better conditions among its own people, but reaches out and now and then turns a white enemy into a black man's friends. The peculiar problems that confront the Negro people in this country today affecting their peace, prosperity and happiness, as a rule, go unnoticed by the majority of the big dailies. Ye knockers of any race enterprise, bury your hatchets and get in the big boosters' band wagon, in order that when the big bear, Prejudice, shall have been killed in this country—you can truly say, "See what we did!"

Rey ee | We are inclined to make too much display at funerals. Not only do we crowd the churches on such occasions but we also delight in joining the pro- cession to the cemetery. We have known some societies to hold the bod- les of the dead for a week in order that there might be a big display ‘made on Sunday. Then with brass ‘band and colors flying they strut up and down the streets, Seemingly en- Joying the opportunity of displaying their uniforms and other regalia on such an occasion. We have heard it said that this ts jan excellent way to advertise a soct- ‘ety by making a big display, as others will be induced to join, and of course ‘swell the membership of the organiza- ‘Mion. Be that as it may, but as much as we believe in advertising, it has never occurred to us that a dead man paaala, play the leading role in ad- ‘vertising anything. Furthermore, it seems as though it is desecrating the }dead, and should not be tolerated in | (his manner. A few years ago there was a fu | neral conducted with so much pomp and’ ceremony that a stranger in. the city wanted to know whether or not it was the governor of the state or the mayor of the city that such a big | demonstration was being made about. We will venture to say that there is a bigger demonstration made over some of our dead than over such not- ables as Theodore Roosevelt, Booker T. Washington, or William McKinley. Certainly it is all right to show, res- pect to the dead, but it is anything but common sense to over-do the thing. It matters mot whether such @ person was only a saloon-keepr or romething similar, he is’ given the same kind of pomp and display. This is not only inconsistent to society, but It is ridiculous. No other nationality makes such a show over the dead as our people do, and yet they think just as much of their dead as we think of ours, but they do not make fools of themselves over it. : » Another thing -whieh we-do:notfind among other people, is the practice our women “have of turning out at funerals, They often dress in gorg- eous uniforms, parade the streets, march from the hall or lodge to the ehurch and then to the cemetety, which is sometimes three or four miles. This is a practice that no other race practices but ours. It is all vight to parade the streets on a spe- cial occasion, as on the celebration of the Emancipation or similar events, but we insist that such practices as a long line of women in uniform marching to the cemetery is some- thing that should go into the discard. It is out of date. We have seen men in uniform go- ing through all kinds of military tac- tics while marching to the cemetery. ‘There is nothing solemn about this at all; in fact it has a tendency to take away all the solemnity from the oc: casion and partakes somewhat of the common street parade. Such things do not add to our credit, and sensible people look upon them as childish im pulses which would not be counten anced by intelligent people in these days. Let us hope that big funerals, and especially big Sunday funerals, will be discarded. It might not be out of place if the ministers would call attention to these things from time to time and impress the people with the uselessness of so much pomp and display at funerals, which should rath er be characterized by simplicity and | solemnity. BOLSHEVISM AND THE NEGRO (Baltimore Daily Herald) ‘The shadow of+Bolshevism has fal- len across the United States. As the ‘end of the world war recedes further ‘and the four millions of eoldiers with- drawn from industrial pursuits to fol- low the fortunes of war and as_ the ‘great plants created by the necessi- ties of war, but now no longer useful, are dismantled and the minds of the laboring masses are turning towards the manner of earning their daily bread the menace of Bolshevism grows larger, more forbidding and moére dangerous. The white working classes of this'country are watching with interest the assumption of con- trol of the government of Russia by the Bolshevists and the alarming spread of Bolshevism to other coun: tries of Earope. Success in Russia which now seems likely will arouse ithe ambition of daring spirits in America who will undertake to rally the working classes under the banner of’ Bolshevism—by whatever name it may be called—and give untold trouble, Their doctrines are attractive, even seducive, thelr scheme of government although im- practicable appeals with great force to the masses.

A drowning man will catch at a straw; and a peo- ple in a democracy yet shut out from the rights of citizenship and restricted and hampered on every side by unjust legislation and inequitable enforcement of laws cannot be blamed for turning to any sect or party that offers prom ise of relief from the oppressor. ‘The Negro is by nature conservative and believes the forces that make for law and order and would tlot except to secure life and liberty align himself with the forces which destroy. And it would be the policy of wisdom for the dominant race, in the South espe- cially, to give thoughtful consideration to the Negro and extend to him the privileges and rights of citizenship and good government in order that the forces of anarchy and destruction will appeal in vain for his support.
