NO. 4 JAPANESE DENIED RACIAL EQUALITY BY PEACE CONFERENCE PARIS, April 12.—The League of Nations commission has rejected the Japanese amendment on racial equality, according to an authoritative statement issued tonight. Some of the members of the commission voted against the specific inclusion of this amendment in the covenant and, as unanimous approval of the commission was necessary, the amendment, which was strongly urged by the Japanese delegates, failed of adoption. The statement follows: "At a meeting of the League of Nations commission on Friday, April 11, the Japanese delegation proposed an amendment to the preamble of the covenant as follows: "To insert after the words 'by the prescription of open, just and honorable relations between nations,' an additional clause, to read: 'By the endorsement of the principle of equality of nations and just treatment of their nationals.'" Presentation Admirable "The amendment was admirably presented by Baron Makino. In the course of his speech he emphasized the great desire of the Japanese government and of the Japanese people, that such a principle be recognized in the covenant. His argument was supported with great force by Viscount Chinda. "A discussion followed in which practically all of the members of the commission participated. The discussion was marked by breadth of thought, free and sympathetic exchange of opinion and a complete appreciation by the members of the commission of the difficulties which lay in the way of either accepting or rejecting the amendment." "The commission was impressed by the justice of the Japanese claim and by the spirit in which it was presented. Mention was frequently made, in the course of the discussion, of the fact that the covenant provided for the representation of Japanese on the executive council as one of the five great powers, and that a rejection of the proposed amendment could not, therefore, be construed as diminishing the prestige of Japan. "Various members of the commission, however, felt that they could not vote for its specific inclusion in the covenant. Therefore, the commission was reluctantly unable to give to the amendment that unnaimous approval which is necessary for its adoption." ORGANIZATION FORMED SOLDIERS OF ALL WARS (By Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., April 12. The Grand Army of Americans, an organization composed entirely of Colored soldiers of all wars, has been incorporated by the filing of the certificate of incorporation in the recorder's of deed office. The incorporators are Captain Samuel F. Sewell, of the regular army; Lieut. D. W. Jones, Serena S. Ivy, aide to the provost marshal general; Lieut. Thomas H. R. Clarke of the Spanish-American war, and William T. Ferguson. The commander for the department of the District of Columbia, Captain Samuel S. Sewell, and the organizer, Mr. William T. Ferguson, have been invited to join another organization and supervise the affairs of its "Colored branch." Neither one has any intention of becoming a member of a jim-crow organization, but are going ahead and perfecting plans for the extension of the Grand Army of Americans in every city and state in the Union. The Grand Army of Americans is a soldier organization and all honorably discharged soldiers are eligible for membership. St. Joseph, Mo.-Orville Hunter, a 12-year-old boy, was awarded $825 in Judge Allen's court against the Hammond Packing Company. VIEWPOINT OF THE COLORED MAN GIVEN BY "Y" SECRETARY CHICAGO. April 12.—A laudable instance of "getting the real facts before the white people" occurred here this week when A. L. Jackson, secretary of the Wabash Avenue Y. M. C. A., addressed the City Club of Chicago, where he pleaded for the cooperation of the best white people in solving the problems of Race adjustment in this city. "My object," said the speaker, "is to bring to you, who are the backbone of our city life, the viewpoint of the Negro. The war gave us our first opportunity to get into northern industry. This brought thousands to Chicago and other cities. Now that these people are among us, we must work together to help them and all others." The people of Chicago are determined that no city in America shall surpass it in giving opportunity to the Colored people. MEN OF BOTH RACES REFUSING TO FARM (By Associated Negro Press) MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 12—The labor situation here is made more acute because Negroes are refusing to accept employment on farms. Demands from every section are coming in for farm hands, but both the white and Negro citizens are refusing to go "back to the soil." They claim that they are treated "like slaves" in a large portion of the farm work, and the wages are small and more or less uncertain. VOCATIONAL SCHOOL WORK HELPED BY LAWS PASSED House bill and Senate bill 95, both for the promotion of vocational education, are now laws or will be when the 90 days statutory period after the adjournment of the legislature has expired. House bill 57 makes it possible for any school district to organize courses in agriculture, home economics, and trade and industrial subjects. These courses may be given in day classes, part-time classes, and evening classes. House bill 57 also provides reimbursement to school districts of 75 per cent of expenditures for salaries of teachers of vocational subjects, provided the requirements of the Smith-Hughes act are observed. Senate bill 95 provides compulsory part-time classes. Instruction in these classes is intended for pupils 14 to 18 years of age who are regularly employed. Instruction must be given between the hours of 8 a. m. and 6 p. m. and for not less than five hours a week or 150 hours a year. Any subject that is designed to increase civic intelligence or trade efficiency may be taught in part-time classes. These bills are of the greatest importance to every school district in the state, and it is desirable that the school authorities shall acquaint themselves with these laws and ascertain what they must do to receive state aid. House bill 57 makes it a duty of the state board for the control of vocational education to submit an itemized budget to the state board of equalization on or before July 1 of each year. It is, therefore, desirable that school districts make their applications for state aid for the years 1919-20 immediately. OFFERS JESS WILLARD $30,000 Johnson's Manager Is Still Trying to Get a Return Bout HAVANA.—Luis Amdrade, who is taking Jack Johnson, the negro heavyweight pugillist, to Mexico for several boxing bouts, said this week that he will guarantee Jess Willard, the heavyweight champion, $30,000 and all traveling expenses, if Willard will agree to a return fight with Johnson. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY ARMY OFFICER TELLS OF ACHIEVEMENTS OF BLACK SOLDIERS ARMY OFFICER TELLS OF ACHIEVEMENTS OF BLACK SOLDIERS (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, April 12.—Colonel William Hayward of the "Old Fifteenth New York" regiment, is to devote much of his time telling the white people the real achievements of the Negro soldiers in the world war. To former Justice Charles E. Hughes he said, recently: "I am astonished to know that the people in this country know so little of the achievements of the valiant Negro soldiers. They were the nearest of all American soldiers to the German lines on the day the armistice was signed. The world must know these facts and give credit in justice where credit is due." JAPANESE PROPOUND PERTINENT QUESTIONS (By Negro Press Association) WASHINGTON, D. C.—"Who does this world belong to?" is the question the Japanese nation desires to have answered in a concrete manner by the Peace Conference now in session in Paris. The question is giving deep concern to the various nations assembled, and particularly the United States. Not only is this country interested from the immigration viewpoint, but also from the viewpoint of the relationship of the American Negroes to the body politic. It is an open secret that the American Negroes are very much determined to get more favorable consideration from the government than has been accorded in the past. This is especially true of the South, but is applicable to every section of the country where open discrimination is practiced. While loyal to the government in every respect, there is no group of people who can better sympathize with the discriminations because of Race, that is being practiced upon the Japanese, and the citizens of that country are bold to say that if the allies were sincere in the principles for which they fought, there should be no color line anywhere in the world, but every nation and each individual in every nation, should be marked only by merit. 400 SUPERVISORS OF CENSUS WILL BE NAMED JULY FIRST WASHINGTON.—Four hundred supervisors to direct the taking of the 1920 census, "as of January 1" will be named by the Commerce Department about July 1, Census Director Rogers announced this week. Rogers warned persons hoping for jobs as local enumerators not to write the department, but to wait until supervisors are appointed and then apply to them in writing. Supervisors will hire local enumerators, he said. Local enumerators will be paid on a per capita basis and will be required to take a practical examination which will include filling out a sample census form. Supervisors will draw $1,500 for approximately seven months' work plus $1 for each thousand persons enumerated. They also will be required to take examinations. COLOR LINE MAY KILL LEAGUE WASHINGTON, D. C.-Harper Leech, a special correspondent of the Memphis (Tenn.) Press, in an extensive article in that paper, declares that the matter of the "Color line" may imperil the League of Nations. He declares that Australia, Pacific coast, South Africa and the southern United States are vitally affected by the proposed eradication of racial distinctions. That this subject is one of vital significance is not doubted by any student of world conditions. Japan to the fore in the Big Five may be said to be the spokesman of the colored peoples of the world. Topeka, Kas.—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 it. PLURIBUS UNUM DNA'S GREATEST W PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, Game I TO THE PEOPLE OF PHOENIX 'Tis sweet to be remembered And a pleasant thing to find, That though we may be absent, You still keep us in mind. —Corporals Austin of N.

ROTARY CLUB GREATLY INTERESTED COLORED BOY SCOUTS NEW YORK, April 12.—The Rotary Club of New York, white, at its first public meeting on boys' work activities at Hotel McAlpin, discussed the establishment of community playgrounds and boys' club houses for the under-privileged Colored boys of Harlem. MEHARRY COLLEGE IS GIVEN BIG DONATION NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 11.—The Carnegie Foundation and the general education board of the Methodist Episcopal church this week offered separate gifts of $150,000-$300,000 in all—to the Meharry Medical College of Nashville, which has been recognized as the leading Negro medical college in the world. With the gifts goes the condition that the Freedmen's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal church and the trustees and friends of the college raise an additional $200,000. The latter fund will be used for endowment. Meharry College was founded by the Methodist church in 1876 and has grown steadily since. It has departments of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy and had an enrollment of 499 students last year. It has not only been recognized as the leading Colored medical college, but has also won distinction throughout the whole educational field, both white and colored. Two hundred and fifty of its graduates served in the medical service of the United States army during the war. PRESCOTT COLORED MAN FOREMAN OF JURY The following article from the Prescott Journal-Miner is indicative of the character of the thousands of fair-minded Caucasians in the State of Arizona. The article follows: To the Editor Journal-Miner, Sir: A reflection on the entire panel of 18 jurors was made last Thursday when one of the number arose and asked to be excused on account of race prejudice, expressing himself as objecting strongly to serving on a jury with a colored person. The member was excused later by the Court and the jury being selected and the colored member being on the panel and exceptions having been taken to the above expressions, a frame up was made and carried out sub-rosa, and upon arriving in the jury room in charge of a bailiff the member in question, Leonard J. Harris was immediately proposed as foreman and was unanimously elected, which position he was highly qualified for, having nearly finished his law course and will be admitted to the bar shortly. Mr. Harris, though colored, is in every way a gentleman and a fluent talker and has served on several juries with the writer of this article and is a citizen and tax-payer of this county and is a fair and impartial juror, and is to be highly commended regarding his actions and obligation to his oath. Mr. Harris when admitted to the bar, will be, I believe the first of his race to fill this position in the county. Respectfully submitted, A. Juror. TRIBUNE SOUTHERN OFFICER CHAMPIONS CAUSE OF BLACK SOLDIERS SOUTHERN OFFICER CHAMPIONS CAUSE OF BLACK SOLDIERS (By Negro Associated Press) MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 12.—When white southern soldiers become indignant over the treatment accorded Negro soldiers, it is time for the whole world to sit up and take notice. Maj. W. E. Clark, white guest of honor at a big luncheon of whites in one of the leading hotels, said this with reference to Negro soldiers: "Any man in the United States army, anywhere, if he did his duty, did as much to win the war as did the President when he signed the declaration to begin the conflict for freedom. "When the men of the Buffalo division marched away from the city," declared the major, "the streets were lined with people, who cheered the fighting Negroes on their way to fight the Hun. They were willing that they make the sacrifice, they were willing that they should risk their lives for freedom. And they cheered and cheered. "Today these men are returning. They are walking the streets of the city; and they are greeted, not with cheers, but in silence. I protest as a southerner—as a southerner of entirely southern extraction—against this piece of injustice and inhumanity." WHITE MAN MADE TO TAKE A BATH AFTER 23 YEARS CHICAGO, Ill.—Charles Hugland, for the first time in 23 years, took a bath. Hugland, who says his home is "here and there," was arrested in his wardrobe—five overcoats, four coats, three suits of underwear and one pair of pants. His beard was three feet long. "Haven't shaved or taken a bath for 23 years." Hugland explained. Police saw to it that the water for Hugland's bath that night was hot. By Major Jones Mesdames Alma Henderson and Thelma Hill of Nogales are now residents of Ajo. The Ajo column in the Tribune has been vacant the past two or three weeks, because the reporter has been out of town. We are back on the job now and shall try and give you some real news from this section. During our stay in Douglas we found the people of that city hungry for the Tribune and its news. Evidently the reporter of that city has been derelict in his duties, otherwise the Tribune would be available. Ajo is blessed, for the Tribune we have with us always. Mrs. Pearl Fagans served a delightful five course luncheon last Sunday afternoon. Covers were laid for the following: Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Mr. W. H. Wells, Mr. Johnnie Downs, Mrs. Thelma Hill, Rev. and Mrs. Jones and Rev. A. S. Vaughn. Mrs. Ford and daughter arrived in Ajo last Tuesday evening from Los Angeles. They came to join the husband and father who has been with us for some time. We are pleased to welcome these ladies to our town. The People's Forum is again in working order and everything is moving along nicely. On last Tuesday evening Mrs. Pearl Fagans and Miss Pearl Robinson each read an interesting paper. Mrs. Fagan's subject was "Life Everlasting," and the subject of Miss Robinson's essay was, "America". Our only wish is that we had more "Pearls" like these. Mrs. Gertrude Jones left Monday evening for Douglas to visit her mother and friends. She will be absent a week or ten days. Mrs. A. L. Smith left Monday for a brief visit with her friends in Tucson. Middlesboro, Ky.—A $5,000 drive has been instituted by citizens of this city for the purpose of erecting a hospital. Six hundred dollars of the amount was raised at a meeting held recently. EIGHTH ANNUAL CLINIC AT JOHN H. ANDREW MEMORIAL HOSPITAL EIGHTH ANNUAL CLINIC AT JOHN H. ANDREW MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Seventy Physicians and Surgeons Present at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama—Two Hundred and Fifty Cases Treated—Forty Operations Performed. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Alabama, April 6.—The John A. Andrew Clinical Society closed its second annual session at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, last night, April 5, with a banquet, following which the last scientific session was held for discussion and transaction of the final business of the society. The day had been an extremely busy one. The operating rooms were opened promptly at 7:20 a. m., and every minute during the day until 7:30 p. m. operations were being performed. A very great variety of cases was on hand, some of which were of unusual interest and rarity. There were cases present that are encountered only at infrequent intervals. Twenty-four operations were performed during the day, and it is very probable that on no other occasion has there been such an aggregation of Negro surgeons of ability with such an accompanying variety of cases. The clinic opened up on Thursday night, April 3. During the entire clinic thirty-three operations were performed—the great majority of them majors. At this writing, April 6, every patient is in good, comfortable condition, with no indication of a pending serious result. These patients have come from a number of different places in this state, as well as adjoining, one having come from Oklahoma. On Friday, the 4th, the entire day was devoted to the examination and treatment of out-patients especially, and bedside examinations of patients in the wards preparatory to their operation on the following day. The waiting rooms, halls and verandas were simply crowded with patients, eager and anxious to avail themselves of the unusual opportunity presented them, and the physicians had all they could do to attend to those present seeking relief. There were seventy physicians, pharmacists, dentists and surgeons present from all parts of the South: Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Georgia, as well as from the far North, such as Chicago and Washington—a rather rare collection of much of the leading talent in the Negro medical profession. Three different occasions brought together this body of men, including one woman physician: First, the meeting of the Alabama Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, which continued from April 1 to 3; then the opening of the second annual meeting of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society, and the eighth annual clinic of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital. On Thursday night a public meeting was held in the Institute chapel, where about two thousand people were assembled to witness the program conducted by these seventy Negro professional men. The subject, "Tuberculosis Among the Negroes, and What the Negro Physicians Are Doing to Combat It," was thoroughly discussed from a number of angles by a large number of the physicians and surgeons and dentists, who gave from three to five-minute talks; also other health conditions of the race, including suggestions for improvement. The venereal disease situation as it affects the Negro race was also discussed. A paper was read by the medical director of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, in which he gave some interesting statistics on the work of the hospital during the past five years. He stated that 6828 cases had been treated in the wards of the hospital during this period, with a total of 28 deaths; that of this number 379 had received surgical operations with only eight deaths; that during the recent epidemic, 449 cases of influenza were treated with no deaths, and 32 cases of pneumonia with one death. He also stated that since the Nurses' Training School was founded 127 nurses had been graduated and 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year FAIR ATTITUDE OF WHITES ENCOURAGING TO BLACK AMERICANS FAIR ATTITUDE OF WHITES ENCOURAGING TO BLACK AMERICANS (By Associated Negro Press) PROVIDENCE, R. I., April 12. There is much encouragement here over the attitude of the white people with reference to giving the Negro a square deal in the new era of justice now manifesting itself throughout the land. There is much comment over a recent editorial appearing in the Providence Daily Bulletin (white), which said, in part: "They did not fight as Afro-Americans. No foreign country in their minds was claimant of either primary or secondary allegiance. The Colored soldiers were all Americans. Republics, as a rule, may be ungrateful, but there should be an exception here, and the Colored Americans should stand higher than ever before in the esteem of the whole nation as people who see their patriotic duty and do it." Growing sentiment of this kind is bound to produce unusual results. NINTH CAVALRYMAN AT FORT HUACHUCA KILLS HIS HELPMATE (Special to the Tribune) BISBEE, Ariz., April 12.—In a fit of rage, George Pratter, a private in the Ninth Calvary, shot and killed his wife at Fort Huachuca tonight. Pratter, in turn, was shot and killed by Sergeant A. Carter, also of the Ninth Calvary, following the shooting. According to Sheriff James McDonald, who arrived here tonight, Pratter and his wife had been engaging in a series of quarrels for several days, with the result that Sergeant Carter was assigned to act as bodyguard for Mrs. Pratter. Tonight, says the sheriff, Carter was accompanying Mrs. Pratter to her home when Pratter suddenly appeared and fired at the couple, Mrs. Pratter being instantly killed. TAFT A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE POSSIBILITY (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO.-The addition of the name of former President William Howard Taft to the list of presidential possibilities has caused a new series of comments to arise from various sources. While President, Mr. Taft grew in the affection of many of the Colored people of the country, and is regarded by thousands as one of the fairest of the American presidents. It was he who appointed William H. Lewis of Boston as Assistant Attorney General of the United States and in many ways he has manifested a high regard and interest in the Race. While Mr. Taft is swinging into popularity at present because of his great interest in the successful establishment of the League of Nations, he will also be remembered by the Colored people of the country for his personal interest in Negro education and general Race advancement. sent out, and that they are doing institutional work as heads of small hospitals and private sanitariums in a number of towns and cities in different parts of the South; also as far north as Indianapolis, Ind.; and that a number of the graduates were engaged in public health nursing, under the United States public health service in Little Rock, Ark.; Columbia, S. C.; Columbus and Macon, Ga., and in some other places; also that others had been engaged in Cleveland, Ohio; Birmingham and Montgomery, Ala. The trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute were present on this occasion and witnessed with great interest the different exercises of the week and expressed their hearty appreciation and approval of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society and the work of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital and its annual clinics.

No city in Arizona is experiencing a more rapid increase in its Colored population than Phoenix. People from every section of the country are flocking to Arizona and this city seems to be their main objective. In view of this fact, the need of several Race enterprises is apparent. What we need most is a first-class hotel for colored people. The few rooming houses we have are crowded to capacity and people are being turned away daily. No matter how much money one has, it is next to impossible to secure first-class hotel accommodations. We also need a high-class restaurant; a drug store and soda fountain; a grocery store and meat market; a co-operative mercantile establishment and other business enterprises.. We could ably support an attorney ; an undertaker and embalmer ; another real estate dealer and a few other.professional men. Somebody must take the lead and others will follow. Who ‘has initiative and back- bone enough to make a start? Come forward, please. One of our readers remarked that the editorial column of the Tribune was not quite up to the standard in regard to polities. He said that in reading the Colored newspapers from different sections ‘of the country, one is able to find, in tle various editorials, what the real sentiment of the Colored people was in matters pertaining to politics. If the sole object of this reader is to find out what the Col- ored voters of Arizona are thinking about and the political direction in which they are inclined, he will have to read some other paper besides the Phoenix Tribune. Polities is too complicated for us and we refuse to have anything to do with it. Our limited newspaper experience will not permit us to dabble in politics. While we be- lieve polities is something great, we fail to see wherein our editorial column could be strengthened by it. We have seen a number of Colored newspapers fade into insignificance by dabbling in polities and we have not seen one prosper by it. The Tribune believes that it can profit by the mistakes of other newspapers. If we are wrong, please tell us the proper course to pursue. We are from Missouri. _ Bolshevism is disrespeet. for orderly govérnment, trampling un- der hrutal feet the sacredness of law, choking justice with bloody hands and inflicting savage tyrnny upon the weak and defenseless. It is strange that the people of this country are just beginning to real- ize that such a damnable virus is running through the veins of our national life; and more strange is it that there is so little evidence lof a knowledge of how it came to be here and how it has emptied so Imuch of itself amongst us.

"Just a few words of congratulation in behalf of your paper, the Phoenix Tribune. I received a copy of the Tribune dated February 15, and it brought quite a bit of consolation to me and my friends of the camp, because we enjoy reading about our friends and our homes in the dear old U. S. . . even though we are many miles away. We wish the Tribune much success and shall be pleased to receive a copy regularly. Put me down for a three months' subscription and send your bill to Mrs. Clark at Hayden and she will pay it. I suggest this method because it is very difficult for me to send a small amount from over here and I don't think we will be here longer than three months." Yours respectfully. CPL. FRANK CLARK. Co.

Mr. Roy Lucas, owner and manager of the park, saw to it that every one enjoyed himself to the uttermost. Everything went off smoothly and THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING with clock-like precision. That Mr. Lucas is not a novice when it comes to entertaining the public was clearly demonstrated Tuesday night. Everybody complimented him for the business-like manner in which he is conducting the place. If the opening night is an indication of what future affairs at this park will be, Irvine Park is destined to become the most popular resort in Phoenix. The reporter saw Mr. Lucas about 5 p. m. Wednesday, and he had not finished counting his receipts for the previous night. Every Tuesday and Friday night there will be something of importance going on at Irvine Park.

DOUGLAS By James Weatherly There have been lots of good news circulating in our town during the past month, but it seems that our representative has been lax in his duties. He must get busy and let the people know what he can do. Rev. Allen, presiding elder of the A. M. E. church was in Douglas on Sunday, March 23rd, and held his quarterly meeting. His congregation was one of the largest ever assembled in Douglas and his quarterly meeting and conference proved quite successful. Rev. Dr. Allen delivered a splendid address on Sunday evening. Everybody enjoyed the discourse and went away happy. The Colored citizens of Douglas gave a delightful entertainment for the returned soldiers. The welcome address was delivered by Chaplain Berry of the Tenth Cavalry and Lieutenant Penn, who has recently returned from over seas, responded in a happy vein. He told us of many things that happened over there. Sergeants Bird and Wright, also from over seas, made interesting and intelligent talks. A delectable lunch was served and enjoyed by all. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing, music for the occasion being furnished by the Colored-Jazz band. Hon. J. C. Scott, grand patron of the O. E. S., for Texas and Jurisdiction was a visitor in Douglas the past week. On March 29th a banquet was given in honor of this distinguished visitor and all the appetizing viands of the season were served. Pictures of all heroes of ancient times were shown, also a number of patriotic pictures. This was one of the most notable affairs ever staged in Douglas and will not be forgotten soon. Mrs. Wiley Baldin, who has been on an extended visit to Kansas City, returned to Douglas last week. She went to visit her sister who resides The Boston Store Lovely Selections of New Dresses for Easter —Direct from the foremost fashion creators of this country, come styles of new frocks to the Boston Store in an almost endless variety.
