COLORED SOLDIERS SEGREGATED ON THE TRANSPORT OLYMPIA "Y" Secretary Makes Charge—Negro Officers Confirm His Statements Boston.—Colored officers of the 365th Infantry, a colored draft regiment, arrived in Boston on the Olympic yesterday. They charged that they were made the victims of a "Jim Crow" order aboard the ship. The charges were presented by Jas. G. Wiley, a colored secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and were substantiated by Negro officers. The charges state: "Colored officers of the 365th Infantry, 317th Sanitary Train, 367th Infantry and 350th Field Artillery have been grossly insulted by being grouped together, irrespective of rank, in a separate dining room-or more properly, in the tearoom on board H. M. S. Olympic; while white shave tail lieutenants and white captains and field officers of the same organization, together with nurses of enlisted men's rank, Y. M. C. A. secretaries and field clerks are seated in main dining room with passengers "The demand of colored officers for fair play and their letters to General Gearhardt resulted in his dodging the issue by saying that the colored officers got the same service as in the main dining room. This paradox on democracy has aroused the greatest feeling of indignation among the officers, some of whom wear Croix de Guerre. "Does the American nation propose to stand for this insult to her officers who have fought so nobly? Twelve million Negroes want to know, and the world wants to know now, if the United States means to stand behind those principles which President Wilson has so well proposed at the peace conference in regard to equality of treatment and opportunity. "General Gerhardt and Colonel George McMaster, of the 365th, are both Southerners of the old school, with all its old traditions. "Feeling among the officers is aggravated by the fact that the regimental flag and colors of the Three Hundred and Sixty-fifth Infantry were salvaged and lost. It is known that this is the result of negligence and lack of regard for a flag that was astonishing, to put it mildly. "The officers so humiliated feel that not only their personal valor and honor has been insulted, but that the uniform and rank of the United States army has been degraded and they do not intend to let it go by unchallenged." EDITOR OF TRIBUNE HONORED BY NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASS'N National Negro Press Association, 447 Fourth Avenue, North Nashville, Tenn. March 8, 1919. Mr. A. R. Smith, Phoenix, Ariz. Dear Sir:—You were not able to get to the newspaper men's convention which was held in annual session in this city last month. However, the association saw fit to honor you on the executive commit- tee. Please accept this official notice of the same and it is to be hoped that you will be able to serve admirably. Yours Truly, HENRY A. BOYD, Corresponding secretary N. N. P. A. A HINT TO THE PEOPLE A brave mind is always impregnable; resolution lies more in the head than in the veins, and a just sense of honor, and of infamy of duty and of religion will carry us further than all the force of mechanism. To believe a business impossible is the way to make it so. How many possible projects have miscarried through despondency and been strangled in the birth by a cowardly imagination. It is better to meet danger than to wait for it. A ship on a lee shore stands out to sea in a storm to escape shipwreck. The hopelessness of any one accomplishing anything with pluck is illustrated by an old East Indian fable — A mouse that dwelled near the SHALL THE MOB OR THE COURT EXECUTE LAWS? "A Striking Coincidence" Before passing sentence on 17 men convicted in court at Dobson, the other day, for participation in the lynch riot at Winston-Salem last fall. Judge B. F. Long made a statement of which the following is part: "The question is whether the mob shall execute the laws of North Carolina, or whether the court will execute the laws of North Carolina, whether the mob shall be allowed to try, convict and execute prisoners, or the court. As I have stated before, this particular mob tried and convicted a man that the woman who was assaulted said was innocent, and they would have executed him all right if they had been allowed to go on; hence you see the recklessness of the mob and the danger of the mob and the necessity of suppressing mob violence in North Carolina. It may be said that the best thing to do is to impose a mild sentence; I had an experience once with a mob; the grand jury nor the jury could find the man or men who actually slew three Negroes. Men broke into jail, took out the Negroes and slew them while the court was in the time, but it was done at night and nobody could identify the men, but the grand jury did discover the man who led the mob into the jail and helped break down the door and took out the victims and delivered them to the mob; and he was convicted and put in the penitentiary for 15 years, under my sentence, and there was not another mob in North Carolina that ever assembled or ever executed anybody while that man remained in the penitentiary; but within three months after he was pardoned, there was another mob assembled and executed' a man. "I only mention this to show to any man who has got a mind to think and a soul to save and any respect whatever for the laws of the land that the court cannot afford to let this matter pass without imposing adequate punishment; otherwise, there will be another mob assembled in Winston-Salem or somewhere else in North Carolina. I regret exceedingly that the burden is put upon me to try this case, and, indeed, to impose any sentence whatever on these men, but I can't help it." It is a striking coincidence, at the least, to which his honor refers. Certain it is that if at least one member of the average mob guilty of violence were put behind the bars for a season, there would not be any more lynch law in that particular vicinity for a long while—except, indeed, under the extremest provocation involving racial feeling, if at all.—The Greenwood Daily News. abode of a great magician was kept in such constant distress by its fear of a cat, the magician taking pity on it turned it into a cat itself. Immediately it began to suffer from its fear of a dog, so the magician turned it into a dog. Then it began to suffer from fear of a tiger, and the magician turned it into a tiger; then he began to suffer from its fear of huntsmen, and the magician in disgust said, "Be mouse again. As you have only the heart of a mouse it is impossible to help you by giving you the body of a nobler animal." And the poor creature again became a mouse. It is the same with mouse-hearted people. They may be clothed with the powers and placed in the position of a brave people, but he will always act like a mouse, and public opinion is usually like that of the great magician that finally says to such a people, "Go back to your obscurity again; you have only the heart of a mouse, and it is useless to try to make a lion out of you." My only appeal to you is to be men and stand in the place of men. D. C. ROLE. DIES AT AGE OF 121 Wichita, Kan.—The death of Mrs. Mary Henderson occurred here last week, at the age of 121 years. She was born in 1798 in the state of Virginia and served through six generations of the white family to which she belonged as a slave. Before you "take the bull by the horns," be sure he is dead. A cheerful disposition covers a multitude of sins. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1919. FIRST Y.W.C.A. FOR COLORED WOMEN New York.—The first building ever erected by the Y. W. C. A. for the exclusive use of colored women, is now in course of erection at 137-139 W. 137th street. It is a five story, fireproof building of concrete and steel, occupying a plot 50x100 feet. It will cost about $125,000 and will be completed by May 1.st. In the basement will be a cafeteria, kitchen and heating plant. On the first floor, reading and reception rooms, an auditorium, a club room and the executive offices. On the next floor will be an employment bureau, and class rooms and laboratories where commercial subjects, sewing, and domestic sciences will be taught. On the third floor will be a gymnasium with lockers and dressers, and on the floor above the swimming pool which will have its base on the third floor and will be 20x50 feet in size. The top floor will be devoted to galleries surrounding the swimming pool and "gym." CAPITALIZE THE WORD NEGRO Kansas City, Mo—Dt: Burris A. Jenkins, the new editor of the Kansas City Post, one of the largest dailies in the west, has issued an order to the effect that the term "Negro" shall be capitalized throughout the columns of the Post. A committee, headed by Mr. Nelson Crews, the well known editor of the Kansas City Sun, waited upon Dr Jenkins when he assumed the editorship of the Post, requesting that he capitalize the word "Negro." Dr. Jenkins received the committee courteously, listened to their plea and at once issued the order. CHICAGO LEADS IN COLORED POPULATION Negroes of the South, Deprived of Their Rights, Seek Justice and Freedom in Western City Chicago — (Special) —Chicago, the second largest city in the nation, leads all others in Negro population, according to the latest and best information obtainable. Statistics gathered since the beginning of the migration more than two years ago, place the Negro population of the "Windy City" at 150,000. The section on the South Side formerly known as the "Black Belt" has spread in so man ydirections that the belt has increased in size until it is now a coat. Section after section of the big city where white families formerly lived have been turned over to Negro residents because of the great demand for homes. Many of these places run up in value to thousands of dollars, but members of the Race are living in them and keeping them in many respects, in much better condition than their former white occupants. However, there has in too many instances been a disproportionate increase of rentals, and this matter is receiving the attention of civic workers. Demand for labor, high wages and the awakening of the Negro through travels induced by the war, together with southern discrimination and lynchings, are among the causes of the tremendous influx. While the labor conditions now are greatly affected by the war adjustment problems, there is every reason to believe that 1919 will see another big migration as soon as industrial questions are easier. T. Arnold Hill, secretary of the Chicago Urban League, said recently: "There have been few labor troubles because the majority of the men employed are unionized. This probably has prevented troubles which otherwise might have risen. "There have been some conflicts when Negro families established themselves, but no real racial trouble. 0 In declaring we need the biggest navy in the world Secretary Daniels has evidently forgotten the good old American doctrine that one Yankee ship could take care of two of any other kind. Secretary Baker says the government doesn't pay its help enough, but without becoming too personal it may be said that some of 'em get a lot more than they are worth. CRIME WAVE IS REPORTED IN NORTH Cleveland, O.—There has been much discussion here over the report of the increase in crime in northern cities, due to the migration from the south. While the southern states still lead in Negro population there is a marked increase in crime conditions. The figures for most of the Northern cities show an increase as follows: Cleveland from 7.8 to 16.5; St. Louis from 14.5 to 20.8; Chicago 10.0 to 11.0; Pittsburg from 5.8 to 9.6; and Philadelphia from 4.9 to 6.7. Frederick L. Hoffman of the Prudential Life, who tabulates these figures, explains as follows: "The heavy migration of Negro laborers to Northern communities brought into the central urban centers particularly the ver yelement which continues to contribute so large a share to the homicide record of Southern communities." Relation of the Negro To the Selective Draft Report of Provost Marshal General to Secretary of War Tells Authoritatively of the Patriotism, Valor and Cheerful Service of Colored Americans Called to Defend The Flag. The Labors of Special Assistant Scott Commended Washington, D. C.—The following extract from the official report of the Provost Marshal General of the United States army to the secretary of war, gives a highly interesting and informing story of the part played by the colored soldiers who were called to the defense of the flag of this nation through the operation of the selective draft law: "The part that has been played by the Negro in the great world drama upon which the curtain is now about to fall is but another proof of the complete unity of the various elements that go to make up this great nation. Passing through the sad and rigorous experience of slavery; ushered into a sphere of civil and political activity where he was to match his endeavors with those of his former masters still embittered by defeat; gradually working his way toward the achievement of success that would enable both him and the world to justify his new life of freedom; surrounded for over half a century of his new life by the specter of that slavedom through which he had for centuries past laboriously toiled; met continuously by the prejudice born of tradition; still the slave, to a large extent, of superstition fed by ignorance—in the light of this history, some doubt was felt and expressed, by the best friends of the Negro, when the call came for a draft upon the man-power of the nation, whether he would possess sufficient stamina to measure up to the full duty of citizenship, and would give to the Stars and Stripes, that had guaranteed for him the same liberty now sought for all nations and all races, the response that was its due. And, on the part of many of the leaders of the Negro race, there was apprehension that the sense of fair play and fair dealing, which is so essentially an American characteristic, would not, nay could not, in a country of such diversified views, with sectional feeling still slumbering but not dead, be meted out to the members of the colored race. "How groundless such fears, how ill considered such doubts, may be seen from the statistical record of the draft with relation to the Negro. His race furnished its quota, and uncomplainingly, yes cheerfully. History, indeed, will be unable to record the fulness of his spirit in the war, for the reason that opportunities for enlistment were not opened to him to the same extent as to the whites. But enough can be gathered from the records to show that he was filled with the same feeling of patriotism, the same martial spirit, that fired his white fellow citizen in the cause for world freedom. "As a general rule, he was fair in his dealings with draft officials; and in the majority of cases, having the assistance of his white employers, he was able to present fairly such claims for deferment or discharge as he may have had, for the consideration of the various draft boards. In consequence, there appears to have been no racial (Continued on Page 3) POINTS OUT DANGER PENNSYLVANIA TOWN OF RACE SUICIDE DEPORTS BLACK PEOPLE There are so many different ways of committing race suicide until I hardly know which point to start with. However, I will first discuss the ignorance of caring for children. The people of ancient days did not believe in doctors as we do now. They believed in using teas and herbs, but now they are laid aside and the modern preparations are taking their places; but if the ancient preparations were used more there would not be as much race suicide. Parents of today are not as strict on their children as parents were years ago. The children are caring for themselves instead. They dress as they like, in low neck, low shoes and go out during winter days without sufficient wraps and underclothes. On rainy days and cold days they ride cars without hats and wear silk stockings all the winter. This accounts for our young people dying so fast of tuberculosis. There are some parents who care more for their poodle dog than they do their children. They will see that he is washed and his hair combed every day, and also see that he stays in the house at nights out of the cold while their children are parading the streets to moving picture shows. Eating Some people train themselves to eat certain kinds of food, instead of eating all foods that contain starch and minerals in order to help make up the bones, nails and hair, etc., and not that food which has a tendency to tear down one's body by being too rich. That is why some people die of acute indigestion. We should train ourselves to eat ahy palatable food. Drinking and smoking have ruined a great number of our race. They drink and smoke to the extreme and similarly become internally injured and the next thing is death. Ventilation is another danger of race suicide. The majority of our people sleep without the proper ventilation, inhale stagnant air from inmates, whether sick or well, and the germs spread, thus committing suicide for the want of ventilation. Last but not least, one of the most important of all is the birthing of children. If you notice the statistics of births you will find that there are more babies born into the homes of whites than colored. Why? Because they have learned the modern preventative and are saying they don't want any children. What is a home without a child? One writer has said the greatest sin one can commit is to not have any. From whence cometh the leaders of tomorrow, if the society women do not care to be mothers? We are looking to the intelligent part of our race for leaders, and not to the ignorant part where all the babies are born. The Bible says "Thou shalt not kill." Or, in other words, shalt not commit suicide. The taking of harmful teas or other foul means to which one resorts during the stage of embryo is double murder. It is murder upon the individual and it is murdering a soul that might have been the means of making the world better for having lived in it. Let us not go to our graves as one who has committed double murder, but as one that has done our part in helping to remedy the danger of race suicide. Daily Papers Discuss Treatment of Blacks Daily Papers Discuss Treatment of Blacks Philadelphia, Pa.—There is much discussion going on here in various daily newspapers concerning the proper treatment of Negroes. The daily newspapers are freer with their space on matters affecting the Negro than they have ever been before. Much of the writing is good and there must be some beneficial results. The Philadelphia Public Ledger contained a long letter recently from R. F. Mintz, a private in the Medical department at Camp Humphrey's, Va. The writer, "a southern soldier by both blood and birthright," as he proudly proclaims really makes a serious effort to defend "jim crowism." His letter was inspired by an editorial in The Public Ledger entitled: "No Jim Crow Trenches in France." Coatsville, Pa.—Coatsville has started to deport Negroes brought to the steel town during the war labor shortage, it was learned yesterday. Police are rushing the men out of town afoot and penniless, in many instances and telling them to "head south and stay away." The first drive in this direction was started on Tuesday, and according to public announcements made by the police, others are to follow. Thirty Negroes were taken to the Cain bridge, on the outskirts of Coatsville to the south, and driven out of town. The roundup was made on South First avenue, where the Negroes congregate in poolrooms and cigar stores, under the direction of Constable A. S. Jackson and state police, who have been stationed in Coatesville for some weeks. More than fifty men were rounded up. Every man was then asked to produce his employees' check showing that he was a worker. Men who were unable to produce said checks were put into the "southbound gang," as the cops called it. Under guard of foot police and the mounted state constabulary they were escorted away. The police say that since the steel mills have been curtailing production with the signing of the armistice, crime has been on the increase in Coatesville. Hundreds of Negroes have been loafing around the town, and every night large numbers apply at the city hall for lodgings. The number of "free lodgers" who either couldn't find work or didn't want to work, became so large that the local authorities started to line them up every morning and order them out of town. In some instances cops were detailed to see that these orders were obeyed; but, according to the police, the Negroes invariably returned. It has been announced that the state and Coatesville police will make frequent raids and that all men who cannot show that they are residents of the town or employed will be driven out. Negroes were imported to Coatesville in large numbers while the steel plants were running night and day on war orders. Even with the large gangs brought in it was impossible for the plants to get enough men. Employment agents were sent to various southern recruiting points and transportation was provided for the workers. Negroes in Coatesville said yesterday that the Lukens Steel Company had laid off very few men, but hundreds have been discharged from the Midville plants. Some of the men say they cannot find work and that they have no funds to go elsewhere to seek it. The worst example of crime Coatesville has known was the robbery on Tuesday night of the American Express office, for the fourth time in three weeks. Thieves ripped open at their leisure every package stored in the place and got away with several hundred dollars' worth of valuables. It is true that a great crime wave is in progress in this section of the country since the signing of the armistice. The most daring things to be found anywhere are operating, with few arrests among the professionals; but when they are caught they are nearly always white. Negroes are few among the thugs' Yet Negroes are being driven out of Coatesville because of crime. While the war was in operation labor agents were begging Negroes to come to Coatesville and other towns to work. But since the signing of the armistice and the closing of many steel plants, they are through with the Negro. Think of it, 100 per cent American city herding Negroes like cattle, when no direct charge of crime is charged to them. In Coatesville and other towns bums are allowed to hang around unmolested; but if a Negro is thrown out of work through the closing of contracts, he is classed as an undesirable. And we are making the world a decent place to live in. Why don't they make the United States a decent place for the Negro to live in before dictating to Europe about "democracy"? A few years ago a Negro was lynched at Coatesville, and again they are going the downward path. Until you've learned that there are two sides to every story and not merely to some stories, you haven't learned very much. 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year WOULD BAR ALL RACE PUBLICATIONS Somerville, Tenn.—White people of this city have issued an order that no "Colored newspapers" must be circulated in the town, but that every "darkey", the petition reads, must read the Falcon, a local white paper edited by a Confederate veteran. The whites stated that this step was being done in order to keep the "nigger from getting beside himself, and to keep him in his place." Since the invasion made in this city by newspapers of our race, people have been leaving by the wholesale seeking better opportunity and development in northern cities. The edict was issued against the newspapers when white men were forced, because of the lack of help, to plow the fields. Somerville is the county seat of Fayette county. There are 25,000 of our people residing in this section and only 7,000 whites. Our people furnished five soldiers to one white soldier from this district to the National Army in the fight for democracy. APPOINTED TO POSITION OF STATE AUDITOR Denver, Colo. — Elbert Robinson, popularly known and highly respected citizen graduate of East Denver high and Denver university, received an appointment last Monday to the state auditor's department. Mr. Robinson, of our deserving young men, is a Denverite with a pleasing and attractive personality, and his educational accomplishments backed up by the environment in which he moves will, we hope, help to establish that prestige on his chief that may tend to open up other positions for our people. Sends Fifteen White Men to Prison For Attempted Lynching Winston-Salem, N. C.—Fifteen of the sixteen men tried for breaking into the city jail November 17th and attempting to seize Russell High, colored, who had attacked a white woman, were found guilty today by a jury in the Surry County Court, and sentenced to terms ranging from fourteen months to six years on the county roads. COMMITTE THANKS THE NEWSPAPERS FOR PART TAKEN IN BIG DRIVE March 1, 1919 Phoenix Tribune, City. Gentlemen: The campaign for funds for the relief of the Near East has closed, and in the face of most adverse conditions, Arizona has made a creditable showing and raised approximately $110,000. While much of the credit is due to the small army of volunteer workers which we were able to get to go out and solicit funds, their efforts would have been in vain if it had not been that the way was paved by the newspapers of the state, and the support which the campaign has received from the newspapers has been the most gratifying thing which we have encountered. The shortness of the time for our preparation made the newspapers even more necessary, and they responded to the call as they have all through the war, and we cannot tell how much we appreciate their support: Without the hearty co-operation which you have given, the campaign would have been an utter failure and the columns of publicity matter and advertising which the newspapers have so graciously given were of inestimable value. Not alone for this campaign, but for all the campaigns of the war, we wish to state that their success can be attributed to advertising, and we sincerely hope that your readers and advertisers will appreciate this fact and give you the support which you deserve, to practically balance the national account. Again thanking you, we are, sincerely yours, CHAS. F. WILLIS, State Director. D. GOLDBERG, State Chairman. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE Address all Communications to the PHOENIX TRIBUNE P. O.

BIG FIGHT IN KANSAS AGAINST THE JIM CROW SCHOOLS Topeka, Kan.—A big fight is on in the Kansas legislature, where a bill has been introduced to establish segregated schools in cities and towns of the second class. The negroes of Kansas are bitterly opposed to the measure as untimely and undemocratic, and are fighting it with a big lobby.

Bell Visits Florence— Tuesday, Rev. J. B. Bell, missionary for Arizona and New Mexico, paid a short visit to Florence. He was shown all through the penitentiary and conversed with the colored boys confined in that institution. The boys told Rev. Bell they liked the new law segregating them from other inmates at the tables. They said their new warden was a fine man and all changes made at the "pen" had bettered the conditions for the inmates. Rev. Bell was taken through the kitchen and dining room and he says everything was clean and sanitary. The boys presented Rev. Bell with a group picture of the condemned men who had been sentenced to hang at the prison. Among the group are the pictures of two colored boys who were later reprieved. After resting a few days and visiting his family, Dr. Bell will leave for southern Arizona and points in New Mexico. Machine Gun Company, 24th Infantry, stationed at Columbus, N.

Crocheting will be a feature of the next meeting. Baptist Revival Revival meetings which began at the Second Baptist church Sunday night are being well attended and many are coming forward for prayer. Twelve have been taken into the church since Sunday. Three of these are candidates for baptism and the others formerly were members of the church. Rev. E. M. Clemens of Fort Worth, Texas, is in charge of the meeting and with the able assistance of the pastor, Dr. C. A. Gilmore, he is bringing things to pass. The revival will continue all this week and if the proper spirit is manifested the meetings will continue a few nights longer. Miss Anita White, 1119 East Adams street writes as follows: "I have been receiving the Tribune every week since my return to Los Angeles, and find that I am at a loss as to the news of Arizona, unless I receive this messenger. After reading the paper each week I have been sending it to France to a friend whom I found has enjoyed the reading and says the Tribune has been the Sunshine of his Life over there." Perhaps some of Sergeant Charles C. Lewis' friends would be pleased to learn that his return from France was safe. He arrived at New York on February 28, 1919 and claims that nothing in France impressed him sufficiently for him to remain and that France holds nothing dear to him. The following poem of his will enable the readers to know just how proud he is to be back in the good old U. S. A. The poem follows: I am one of the boys who have been fighting over there. I have been fighting for more than a year; I am tired looking at the Madamoi- selles, I want to be on Broadway with the swells. Where there's ragtime all the time. Where the bright lights shine, And there's ragtime all the time. I am glad to be back home again; Not only me—but a million of men Are mighty glad to be home again. I know that we too, are proud to welf- come Sergeant Lewis home again. Respectfully, Miss Juanita White.

Council will be grieved to learn of his sad demise which occurred at the family residence 1207 East Jefferson street, Monday evening at 10:30 o'clock. He was run down by an automobile on December 28th, 1918 and suffered a fracture of the skull and a dislocated spine. For a time after the accident it was believed he would recover. He suffered a relapse and for the past twelve weeks his life has hung by a thread. Faithful friends and a skilled physician did all in their power to save him and the tender loving care given him constantly by his beloved sister, Mrs. Della King, and by his ever faithful wife, was the means of prolonging his life many days on this earth. Never has greater loyalty and devotion been shown than that displayed by his wife and sister. Night after night they sat at his side ready to respond to his smallest wish. He was a member of the Knights of Tabor, an active member and officer of the C. M. E. church. He has resided in Phoenix over 14 years and numbered his friends by the score. A. C. Council was born in Marshall, Tex., about 50 years ago and grew to manhood in his native state. During his fourteen years' residence in this city he has been active in all matters pertaining to the uplift of the race and was a tireless worker for the cause of humanity. He leaves the following relatives to mourn his passing: a wife, Gertrude Council, a brother in Longview, Texas. Alonzo Council, another brother in Marshall, Texas, Elbert Jamison, a sister in Fort Worth, Texas, Mrs. Stella Bowden, another sister in Phoenix who was with him at the end, Mrs. Della King, an aunt in Corsicana, Texas, Mrs. Matilda Faddis. The funeral will be held on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, March 14 from the C. M. E. church. The Knights of Tabor will have charge of the funeral. Our sympathy goes out to the bereaved relatives in this their sad hour. FOR SALE OR TRADE—320 acres, 7 miles south. Maricopa homestead realignment. All good level land. A bargain if taken at once.

Stewart of Prescott was in the city a few days last week. Rev. Ransom Passes— The Rev. Jack Ransom of Salt Lake City, Utah, who came to Phoenix several months ago for the benefit of his health, died Friday morning at 103 West Jackson street. He was afflicted with tuberculosis. They Always Come Back— Wm. Mabry, former representative for the Tribune at Florence, Arizona, has returned to Phoenix after an absence of several months. He says that nothing could induce him to leave this city again. Mrs. Alice Jordan of Los Angeles, California, now visiting relatives in Somerville, Ga., is expected in Phoenix soon, where she will be the guest of her sister, Mrs. Lottie Greenwood, 109 West Jackson street. Visiting Her Son— Mrs. A. J. Marchman of Bisbee is visiting her son, F. G. Gilbreath, 510 South Third avenue. She is favorably impressed with the city and has decided to prolong her stay indefinitely. Home From California— Mr. and Mrs. George Murry, 918 E. Jefferson street, have returned from a short visit to southern Arizona and points in Californit. Mrs. Murry has been on the sick list the past few days but is now convalescent. The Fair Ladies' Tabernacle donated $5.00 toward the support of Mrs. Chas. P. Arnold and children last week. The donation was a fitting climax to the wagon load of provisions given Mrs. Arnold by the Progressive club a few days prior to this. Who. next? Deceased Relative— Mrs. A. Morrison, who resides on South Ninth avenue, received word last week of the death of her sister. Mrs. Amy Griffin of San Antonio, Texas. Mrs. Griffin had been a sufferer from asthma for a number of years and her whole physical condition was impaired to such an extent that she was unable to successfully combat the last attack. Suffered Fracture of Skull— George Mullen, 519 East Jefferson street and one of the members of Clay's orchestra, suffered a fractured skull last Saturday, March 1, when a missile, sent flying through the air by an explosion, struck him on the head. He was employed at the garage of the Maricopa creamery at the time of the accident. He was taken to St. Joseph's hospital and given medical attention and is now resting easily at the above institution. Mrs. Chas. P. Arnold, 1705 Jackson street, takes this means of thanking the members of the Progressive club and also the members of the Fair Ladies' Tabernacle for their acceptable donations of provisions and money. When interviewed by a Tribune reporter, Mrs. Arnold said: "I just don't know how to express my thanks for the thoughtfulness and kindness of the people towards me and my family. I seem to be living in a different world. The people are all so good to me, till it seems like a dream and I sometimes wonder if I am my real self or some one else." Amusement Park Assured— Roy Lucas, the enterprising, hustling young man who proposes to give the colored people of Phoenix a real up-to-date amusement park, is bringing things to pass. He has let the contract for the construction of a pavilion and the carpenters are already on the job. He has purchased an up-to-the-minute soda fountain, a player piano and one hundred and one little accessories that go to complete a resort of this kind. After spending in the neighborhood of $1,500 for fixtures, improvements, etc., he hopes to be able to throw open the gates of this wonderful park about April 15. It will be a second Riverside Park, and just think any person of African descent, who knows how to be orderly, is welcome to Irvine Park. Watch for the opening announcement. WHY NOT?

Curry on West Sherman street. Judging from the number of blue cards displayed throughout the city, the flu is again with us. The southern section of the city is literally covered with quarantine cards and a number of deaths have been reported. Wonder why they don't say something about this in the big daily papers. It's news. It may not be good news, but it is news just the same. Better jack up your reporters and have them make "full" reports. The March Crisis Here— J. W. Snell, of newspaper fame, announces the arrival of the March Crisis.

Carter of Jerome is a recent arrival in Phoenix. He is a first class carpenter and builder and is seeking a location in Phoenix. He has had wide experience in the building line, as he spent several months with big contractors like T. B. Stewart of this city and a number of others. He proposes to give the covered people of the valley a chance to have houses built like they want them and not as the contractor says. Mr. Carter carries some fine letters of recommendation from Arizona people and he asks only a-chance to prove himself. He is staying at the residence of Mr. Allen Smith, 21 East Madison, phone 2617. If you want to build anything from a screen sleeping porch to a $5,000 mansion, consult Mr. Carter. W. B. Hudspeth, 1342 E. Jefferson street, a recent arrival from Houston, Texas, announces his intention of organizing a cooperative grocery concern. He has had considerable experience in the commercial world and was quite successful in Texas and other places. He was forced to come to this city on account of his health and now that he is here and feeling so well, he says that he cannot refrain from entering into business. He will be at the league meeting Monday night, March 17, at Douglas school and explain his proposition. He says that if the people don't care to take hold of a proposition of this kind, he is going to launch out alone. Comeout Monday night and hear what he has to say. Mr. Hudspeth has been in Phoenix only three months and has purchased a modern 8-room brick residence, corner 14th and East Jefferson streets.

P. Watson, general solicitor for the Lincoln home at Pueblo, Colorado, was in the state last month in the interest of the home and the following letter tells how well she succeeded. Lincoln Home for Colored Folks and Neglected Children, 2713 and 2715 Grand Avenue, Phone 2280-M. Pueblo, Colo., March 6, 1919. To the Editor of the Tribune, Phoenix, Arizona.

R lation of the Negro discrimination made in the determination of his claims. Indeed, the proportion of claims granted to claims filled by members of the Negro race compare favorably with the proportion of claims granted to members of the white race. "That the men of the colored race were as ready to serve as their white neighbors is amply proved by the reports from the local boards. A Pennsylvania board, remarking upon the eagerness of its colored registrants to be inducted, illustrated this by the action of one registrant, who, upon learning that his employer had had him placed upon the Emergency Fleet list, quit his job. Another registrant, who was believed by the board to be above draft age, insisted that he was not, and, in stating that he was not married, explained that he "wanted only one war at a time." "The following descriptions from Oklahoma and Arkansas boards are typical, the first serving to perpetuate one of the best epigrams of the war: "We tried to treat the Negroes with exactly the same consideration as was shown the whites. We had the same speakers to address them. The Roary Club presented them with small silk flags, as they did the whites. The band turned out to escort them to the train. And the Negroes went to camp with as cheerful a spirit as did the white man. One of them when asked if he were going to France, said, "No, sir, Ise not gwine to France, Ise gwine through France." "In dealing with the Negroes, the southern boards gained a richness of experience that is without parallel. No other class of citizens was more loyal to the government, or more ready to answer the country's call. The only blot upon their military record was the great number of delinquents among the more ignorant; but in the majority of cases this was traced to an ignorance of the regulations, or to the withholding of mail by the landlord (often himself an aristocratic slacker) in order to retain the man's labor. "On October 1, 1917, in order that there might be no question of the full protection of the rights of the Negroes, and that thorough examination might be made into all matters affecting their relation to the war, and its many agencies, there was announced the appointment of Emmett J. Scott as special assistant to the secretary of war. Having been for 18 years confidential secretary to the late Booker T. Washington, and being at the time of his appointment secretary of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute for Negroes, he was peculiarly fitted to render necessary advice to the war department with respect to the colored people of the various states, to look after all matters affecting the interests of the Negro selectives and enlisted men, and to inquire into the treatment accorded them by the various officials connected with the war department. In the position occupied by the, the special assistant to the secretary of war was thus enabled to obtain a proper perspective both of the attitude of selective draft officials to the Negro, and of the Negro to the war, and especially to the draft. As the representative of his race, his expressions, therefore, have great weight. In a memorandum address to this office, on the subject of the relation of the Negro to the war and especially to the draft, on December 12, 1918, Mr. Scott wrote: Eager to Accept Terms "The attitude of the Negro to the war, and especially to the draft, was one of complete acceptance of the draft, in fact, of an eagerness to accept its terms. There was a deep resentment in many quarters that he was not permitted to volunteer, as white men, by the thousands, were permitted to do in connection with National Guard units and other branches of military service which were closed to colored men. One of the brightest chapters in the whole history of the war is the Negro's eager acceptance of the draft and his splendid willingness to fight. His only resentment was due to the limited extent to which he was allowed to join and participate in combatant or "fighting" units. The number of colored draftees accepted for military duty, and the comparatively small number of exemptions, as compared with the total number of white and colored men called and drafted, presents an interesting study and reflects much credit upon this racial group." "Many influences were brought to bear upon the negro to evade his duty to the government. Some effort in certain sections of the country was made to induce them not to register. That the attempt to spread German propaganda was a miserable failure may be seen from the statement of the chief of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice to the United States senate committee: "The negroes didn't take to these stories, however, as they were too loyal. Money spent in the south for propaganda was thrown away. "Then, too, these evil influences were more than offset by the various publicity and 'promotion of moarle' measures carried on through the office of the special assistant to the secretary of war and his assistants. Correspondence was kept up with influential negroes all over the country. Letters, circulars and news items for the purpose of effecting and encouraging the continued loyalty of the negro citizens were regularly issued to the various papers comprising both the white and negro press. "A special committee of 100 colored speakers was appointed to deliver public patriotic addresses all over the country, under the auspices of the committee on public information, stating the war aims of the government and seeking to keep unbroken the spirit of loyalty of colored American citizens. "A special conference of negro editors was called to meet in Washington in June, 1918, under the auspices of the committee on public information, in order to gather and disseminate the thought and public opinion of the various leaders of the negro race. Such has been only a part of the work of the department of the special assistant to the secretary of war in the record of the marshaling of the man power of the American nation. "The appreciation of this representative of the colored race for the cooperation shown by the selective service administration, especially as it affected members of the colored race, in reference to occasional complaints received, will appear from the following extract from a memorandum written to this office on September 12 by the special assistant to the secretary of war: Mr. Scott Tells of Draft Fairness "Throughout my tenure here I have keenly appreciated the prompt and cordial cooperation of the provost marshal general's office with that particular section of the office of the secretary of war especially referred to herein. The provost marshal general's office has carefully investigated and has furnished full and complete reports in each and every complaint or case referred to it for attention, involving discrimination, race prejudice, erroneous classification of draftees, etc, and has rectified these complaints whenever it was found, upon investigation, that there was just ground for the same. Especially in the matter of applying and carrying out the selective service regulations the provost marshal general's office has kept a watchful eye upon certain local exemption boards which seemed disinclined to treat negro draftees on the same basis as other Americans subject to the draft law. It is an actual fact that in a number of instances, where flagrant violations have occurred in the application of the draft law to negro men in certain sections of the country, local exemption boards have been removed bodily and new boards have been appointed to supplant them. In several instances these boards so appointed have been ordered by the provost marshal general to reclassify colored men who had been unlawfully conscripted into the army or who had been wrongfully classified. As a result of this action hundreds of colored men have had their complaints remedied and have been properly reclassified." "It is also valuable to note the opinion of this representative of the colored race as to the results of the negro's participation in the war: "In a word, I believe that the negro's participation in the war, his eagerness to serve, and his great courage and demonstrated valor across the seas, have given him a new idea of Americanism and likewise have given to the white people of our country a new idea of his citizenship, his real character and capabilities, and his 100 per cent Americanism. Incidentally, the negro has been helped in many ways, physically and mentally, and has been made into an even more satisfactory asset to the nation." LOOK HERE Do You Like Melons?

The eleven o'clock sermon was quite interesting Subject: "Rebuke Not an Elder." Bro. M. D. Ware spoke in the afternoon. Subject: "Why I am a Baptist." Brother Ware is a strong Baptist and was recently granted a license to preach After listening to this wonderful discourse, Mt. Zion believes this brother was called of God to preach the scripture. Sunday evening pastor Green chose as his text, Joshua third chapter, 4th verse. He was evidently filled with the Holy Ghost for his discourse was marvelous. Collection $15.00.

The Wortham shows brought in a number of strange faces. Next in importance is the great chau-tauqua with its lively group of speakers and entertainers. This week is truly a week of merriment in the Gem City. Great throngs of people may be seen everywhere and the enterprising merchants of Mesa are reaping a harvest of dollars. The big sale is on at the Lesuer-Spilsbury store. Prices have been slaughtered at this establishment and the greatest reduction sale ever witnessed in Mesa is now on. The cause for this great sale is the fact that Spilsbury quits business and is offering his entire stock of $85,000 worth of merchandise at greatly reduced prices. See the free baby show Saturday, March 15. A prize will be given for the most perfect baby. Remember the name—Lesuer-Spilsbury company, Mesa's leading store for dependable merchandise.
