An Advertisement in the Tribune is a Direct Personal Appeal to the Colored People PHOENIX VOLUME II. NO. 8 ```markdown ``` KNOXVILLE MAY HAVE NEGRO BOARD OF TRADE; WHITES FAVOR PROJECT Knoxville, Tenn., May 21.—The formation of a "Negro Board of Commerce" for the business and professional men of Knoxville has been suggested and proposed by the white Board of Commerce of this city, thru O. J. Stephens, retiring secretary. The suggestion will be taken to the board of directors for their approval. If the suggestion is approved, an extensive organization will be formed. W. L. Porter, editor of The East Tennessee News, states that the suggestion of Mr. Stephen will meet with unanimous approval by the Race. Mr. Porter stated that, in his opinion, 200 members could be secured. This probably is the first instance in the history of the country where a large commercial body of whites has sought to form a co-operative body of our people to work for the progress of the community. If this goes through in Knoxville, a precedent will be established which may well be followed by other communities, in view of the fact that co-operative relations are necessary, and there is little or no opportunity to get into the "parent body." (Editor's Note.—There are a few rare instances of our men being accepted as members in local commercial bodies. For example: William Owens of Los Angeles, Calif.; and James M. French of Sandusky, O.) College Men of South Favor Co-operation Between Whites and Blacks (By Associated Negro Press) Nashville, Tenn., May 21.—The University Commission of Southern Race Questions, which held its Ninth Annual meeting here, adopted a statement which will be sent to the college men of the South to aid in solving past war conditions. This organization is made up of whites. After praising the service rendered by our soldiers in the war, and the loyalty of others who did their best to finance it, with the added fact that no Negro was ever suspected of espionage or sympathy towards the Huns, the resolution appeals to college men as follows: "Let us seek to cultivate a more tolerant spirit, a more generous sympathy, and a wider degree of co-operation between the best elements of both races; to emphasize the best, rather than the worst features of interracial relations; to secure greater publicity for those whose views are based on reasons rather than on prejudice. "Because college men are rightly expected to be molders of public opinion, the commission earnestly appeals to them to contribute of their talents and energy in bringing this program to its consummation." A LITTLE EXCITEMENT IN OLD VIRGINIA (By Associated Negro Press) Newport News, Va., May 21.—Military police were patrolling the section of the city where our people live as the result of a near riot which followed the accidental wounding of a beautiful colored girl by a military guard. Three of the military guards were severely beaten, and chased for more than a mile by a great crowd of our people in automobiles. The guards finally got into military police headquarters, beating the automobiles, so it is quite evident that they were losing no time. The crowd of colored people was going in after them, but were stopped at the point of bayonets. Sixteen were arrested but later escaped in the crowd of several hundred people who had collected. The moment a young man begins to save systematically and appreciates the true value of money, he necessarily becomes a larger man. WELCOME LADIES OF THE FEDERATION ORGINIZATION WILL TRY TO MAKE AMERICA SAFE FOR AMERICANS (Phoenix Tribune News Service) New York, N. Y., May 20.—A nationwide drive to obtain 100,000 members to defend the constitutional and legal rights now denied more than four-fifths of the Negro race in this country was announced today by John R. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Association, which has now more than 50,000 members, expects to double its membership by June 21, at which time a national conference is to be held in Cleveland, Ohio. The program is "to make America safe for Americans," on which the association is making its drive, was given out as follows by Mr. Shillady: 1. A vote for every Negro man and woman on the same terms as for white men and women. 2. An equal chance to acquire the kind of an education that will enable the Negro everywhere wisely to use this vote. 3. A fair trial in the courts for all crimes of which he is accused, by judges in whose election he has participated without discrimination because of race. 4. A right to sit upon the jury which passes judgment upon him. 5. Defense against lynching and burning at the hands of mobs. 6. Equal service on railroad and other public carries. This is to mean sleeping car service, dining car service, Pullman service, at the same cost and upon the same terms as other passengers. 7. Equal right to the use of public parks, libraries and other community services for which he is taxed. 8. An equal chance for a livelihood in public and private employment. 9. The abolition of color-hypenation and the substitution of "straight Americanism." "If it were not a painful fact that more than four-fifths of the colored people of the country are denied these elementary rights," said Mr. Shillady, "it would seem an absurdity that an organization is necessary to demand for American citizens the exercise of such rights. "One would think, if he were from Mars, or if he knew America only by reading the speeches of her leading statesmen that all that would be needful would be to apply to the courts of the land and to the legislatures. "When the fundamental rights of citizens are so wantonly denied and that denial justified and defended as it is by the lawmakers and dominant forces of so large a number of our states, it can be realized that the fight for the Negro's citizenship rights means a fundamental battle for real things, for life and liberty. "The common citizenship rights of no group of people, to say nothing of nearly 12,000,000 of them, can be denied with impunity to the state and the social order which denies them. This fact should be plain to the dullest mind among us, with the upheaval of Europe before our very eyes. Who so loves America and cherishes her institutions, owes it to himself and his country to join hands with the members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to "Americanize" America and make the kind of democracy we Americans believe in to be the kind of democracy we shall have in fact as well as in theory." LAND OF PROMISE (By Associated Negro Press) Birmingham, Ala., May 21.—An oily tongued member of the Race has been going about the smaller suburbs here preaching freedom and negro rule in Africa. He has been telling them that a new nation, with a Negro for king, is to be set up in the dark continent; that bread grows on trees and honey flows from the springs; that when they once get there, all their troubles will be over, and all they will have to do is eat and rest themselves under the giants of the forest. About twenty families are said to have sold their possessions and are packing to go to the "land of promise." ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY Arizona Federation of Colored Women's Clubs Arizona Federation of Colored Women's Clubs ARIZONA FEDERATION OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS Phoenix is entertaining the officers and members of the Federation this week. They are holding their annual meeting at the Second Baptist church, corner Fifth Street and Jefferson, and among the officers and distinguished visitors attending this meeting are some of the most intelligent and refined women of the race in the state of Arizona. Timely topics of interest to all club women are being discussed by this grand body; the review of the work of the past year, election of officers for the ensuing year and many other things of importance will be done. A grand entertainment and dance at Irvine Park Friday night will be the closing event for the 1919 meeting of the Arizona Federation of Colored Women's Clubs and it promises to be the swellest affair of the season. Full account of the meeting and entertainment will appear in next week's Tribune. WHAT THE NEGRO EXPECTS OUT OF THE WAR One of the very potent reasons, if not the principal cause of the misunderstandings between the white people and the colored people of this country is the flat refusal of the former to judge the latter by fixed standards alike applicable to all men under similar circumstances. White people—and by that we mean the controlling masses of them—either will not or cannot understand that the color of a man's skin is no more a proper criterion of judging him than the color of his hair or that of his eyes; that being a man, he is moved by the same inspiration and aspiration as other men. CELEBRATE 300TH ANNIVERSARY OF LANDING OF FIRST NEGROES ON AMERICAN SOIL (By Associated Negro Press) Charleston, W. Va., May 21.—The 300th anniversary of the landing of the first Negroes in America, was celebrated here this week with a wonderful array of national talent, among whom were: Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee; Col. Roscoe Conklin Simmons of Chicago and James Weldon Johnson of New York. The celebration was under the direction of the ETERNAL GLORY (Dedicated to the Unconquerable 369th Regiment) Come to mammy, boy! You rascal! Whatis dis you're went an' done? I can b'lieve it when I se heard it From de lips ob my own son. Co'se I read it in de papers 'Bout yo' brave and noble deed, An' yo' service to yo' country In huh time ob greatest need. An' de way you won dem medals, An' dem stripes upon yo' coat, How you ovacome upon "Boche" When he had you by de th'oat An' de Gen'ral praised yo' actions So s'pose it must be true. When, in the spring of 1917, circumstances beyond its control forced our government to enter the recent war, the breast of the colored man thrilled with the same emotions as that of his white fellow countryman. He felt the same pride of country and was animated by the same spirit of loyal devotion to her cause. He was no less ready and willing to make the supreme sacrifice in her defense. It is true that looking at it selfishly he had far less reasons to feel the same thrills, the same love of the country as his more fortunate brothers. His previous treatment was not conducive to that end. Though to the manner born, he was made to feel himself but a stepchild with all that the term suggests. And yet when the test came he proved himself no less loyal than those whose lot was more favorably cast. Though denied opportunities to enlist that were open to the white, yet the records will show that he was filled with the same feeling of patriotism, the same martial spirit that forced other patriotic citizens 400,000 strong, he responded to the draft and acquitted himself as become the cause he defended. In the various drives of the Liberty Loan, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., and others, he contributed to the limit of his means. It has been estimated in the millions. Beneath the soil of a foreign battlefield he also sleeps a long fast sleep. The question: What does the Negro expect out of the recent war? Ought not to be a difficult one to answer. He expects what every other group of the Allies expect—the victor's share. He expects of his own country of which he forms a part and whose cause he defended, a fair field and no favors. He expects to be treated as a man in Mississippi as well as in Wisconsin. He expects Old Glory, which could go 3,000 miles across the seas to avenge the atrocities suffered by Belgium, to right equal wrongs at home. He expects for himself and his dear ones absolutely the same treatment accorded every other citizen under like circumstances. In the light of his recent services is this too much for him to expect out of a war waged to make the world safe for democracy?—Ex. PHOEN'X, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1919 CELEBRATE 300TH ANNIVERSARY OF LANDING OF FIRST NEGROES ON AMERICAN SOIL (By Associated Negro Press) Charleston, W. Va., May 21.—The 300th anniversary of the landing of the first Negroes in America, was celebrated here this week with a wonderful array of national talent, among whom were: Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee; Col. Roscoe Conklin Simmons of Chicago and James Weldon Johnson of New York. The celebration was under the direction of the churches of the community. There was a grand street parade, participated in by thousands, and every band in this section took part. The parade was in two sections—the first showing the primitive state of the Negro; the second showing the progress that has been made. The people of Charleston are noted for the wonderful material, moral and educational progress made, and they have an international reputation for hospitality. Booker T. Wasbington was born near here in Kanawah County, and his name was on all lips during the celebration. The only Race bank in the state is in Charleston. DR. BUNDY WILLING TO MAKE GREAT SACRIFICE IN ORDER TO UNITE THE RACE Chicago, May 20.—I am willingly go to the penitentiary, for a long or short time, sad as it may seem to me and my friends. I will make the sacrifice if by so doing, the people of my Race shall become united with some definite and consecrated purpose to work for justice and the rights of humanity." With the foregoing words as a last letter to a friend in Chicago, Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, sentenced for life, because of a trial which found him guilty of inciting the East St. Louis riot, closed his books, as it were, in the hall at Waterloo, Ill., and prepared for his gloomy journey to Joliet. Inspired by this kind of a noble spirit, and the belief that Dr. Bundy was not given a fair trial, the effort to let the world know that fact has been launched with the greatest enthusiasm, and is gaining new ground each day. Attorney Wm. C. Hueston of the law firm of Hueston and Calloway, 1612 E. 12th Street, Kansas City, Mo. one of the lawyers at the trial has been delivering some notable addresses throughout the country, describing details which have not been generally known to the public. Mr. Hueston states that he is willing to go wherever called upon to help the cause. ETERNAL GLORY (Dedicated to the Unconquerable 369th Regiment) Come to mammy, boy! You rascal! Whatis dis you went an' done? I can b'live if when I'se heard it From de lips ob my own son. C'oe I read it in de paners An' de way you won dem medals, 'An' dem stripes upon yo' coat, How you ovacome dat "Boche" When he had you by de th'oat An' de Gen'ral praised yo' actions So s'pose it must be true, But I'll undahstan it bettah When it comes right straight from you.

Still I knew you wouldn't fail me' Boy you nevah has (naw will) Brake faith wid yo' po' ole mammy When you had a place to fill! —Theodore H. Shackelford, In Taborian Vistor, Little Rock, Ark. (By Associated Negro Press) Hawkinsville, Ga., May 21.—W. J. Ferguson, white, county tax receiver, was given a sound thrashing by a Race soldier when Ferguson became abusive in his language to the soldier, who was walking on the sidewalk with two young women. The soldier knocked out two lower teeth and bruised Ferguson's jaw badly. There have been no arrests to date. We may not fill all the pits, but we may watch thereby and warn those who pass. NEGRO OIL MAGNATES INVADE EXCLUSIVE RESIDENCE DISTRICT NEGRO OIL MAGNATES INVADE EXCLUSIVE RESIDENCE DISTRICT (By Associated Negro Press) Kansas City, Mo., May 21.—The subject of "Race Adjustment" has been given a new airing in this community because of the friction engendered with reference to our people buying property in "exclusive sections." Major Cowgill appointed two committees, one from each Race, and called a meeting at his office, where the whole subject was gone into thoroughly and frankly. Dr. W. J. Tompkins declared that he thought a way could be found to "include Negroes to cease invasion of white residence districts." A project is on foot to build 200 more homes in the "Negro section," in order to take care of the influx from the south. I am convinced that the majority of the Negroes in Kansas City want to keep to themselves," declared Dr. Tompkins. "Much of the invasion into white territory has been by wealthy Negroes who struck oil in Oklahoma, and we believe we will amicably adjust the matter to the credit of all concerned. New Orleans Mayor Praises Colored People For Their Patriotism New Orleans Mayor Praises Colored People For Their Patriotism (By Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, Ea., May 21.—In an address before the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of this state, Mayor Behrman of this city, urged the Colored People with the necessity of "standing by the whites" in this period of reconstruction. The mayor praised our people for the work they have done in various war drives. He said he was also pleased to see a New Orleans man the head of the state body of Pythians, as well as the national body. S. W. Green, Grand Chancellor, introduced the Mr. Behrman as "a man who is the mayor of all the people, and the best mayor in the country." Dr. E. A. Williams of Cincinnati, Past Supreme Chancellor, was one of the speakers at the opening session, Walter L. Cohen responded to the mayor's welcome. Georgia Gentleman Says Negro Lodges are "Hot Beds of Anarchy" Macon, Ga., May 21.—There has been an effort launched in this community to have a law passed to make it possible for the sheriff of the county, or his deputies to have access to the secret lodge halls of the Race, because "Negro lodges are nothing more nor less than hotbeds of anarchy and Bolshevism, and are always plotting and scheming against the white race." This statement was made by W. J. Wingate, white, who further declares: The more and longer they are permitted to go with their Bolshevistic plotting institutions the more dangerous the menace will become. This fact will become more pointedly plain to you in the future, and for this reason if you would go to work and insert the stitch in time it would save nine in the future and perhaps worlds of trouble for both races. "The Veasy law ought to be amended so as to apply to the secret Negro lodges in some way as well as other institutions. The legislature could pass a law giving our sheriffs and their deputies the right and authority to inspect these institutions and the conditions in the country surrounding them." Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, according to the high sense of justice of Wingate, and those he represents: "I fully believe in giving hard working, law-abiding Negroes all protection and our white people everywhere should see to it that they get it. Even 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year CHICAGO TRYING TO GET RID OF SOME OF IT'S SURPLUS BLACKS (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, May 21.—The people of Chicago are much concerned about the motive of the Chicago Association of Commerce in telegraphing to all the larger southern cities and inquiring of the commercial bodies in that section whether they have any employment opening of any kind for members of the Race. Coming, as it does, in connection with the concerted effort on the part of all the daily newspapers and the leading civic organizations of the community to "look into the Chicago Negro problem," there is some suspicion on the part of the thinking people as to whether there may not be some "white folks in the wood pile." One citizen stated: "You know, you have to keep your weather eye on the white people. So often we think they are going and they are coming. Really, many of them are quite clever, or at least would have it so appear. As a matter of fact, there are some white people that I would not trust behind a rain drop." The copy of the telegram sent to Southern cities reads: "Are you in need of Negro Labor? Large surplus here. Both returned soldiers and civilians. Negroes ready to go to work. Can you send responsible parties to interview Negroes and make suitable selection and arrangements for locating them in job where needed for your section? Soldiers' bureau ready to provide office facilities and co-operate in every way possible. (Signed). R. B. BEACH, Chicago. Assn. of Commerce. This telegram is being received with varied degrees of enthusiasm in the South, and the story concerning the "search for openings" is being played up and written up in the customary Southern fashion of accepting gringerly suggestions emanating from the North, white or otherwise. Some of the headlines in various newspapers are amazingly at variance with the facts in the case. The Greenville (S. C.) Piedmont has this caption: "Negroes in Chicago Facing Starvation." The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer has this head: "Chicago Has Surplus of Negroes; Could Columbus Use Them?" The Enquirer proceeds to say, after printing the telegram: In the event the local commerce association decides to accept the offer of the Chicago body, a representative will be dispatched to the Windy City with instructions to pick out only southern negroes who have ventured up North in search of the promised gold mines. No northern negroes to inculcate northern notions into the minds of the southern blacks will be brought south." Careful investigation by the Associated Negro Press discloses the fact that there are some of the Race out of work, just as there are thousands of whites, but there has been no request on the part of the men out of work to have the Chicago Commerce body telegraph south to find work. As a matter of fact, there is not only a general disposition not to return to the South, but there are hundreds of people from the South coming North. It is regarded as a bit of presumption on the part of the Chicago body and "R. B. Beach" to try in this manner to "get rid" of the Colored people of Chicago. Chicago is on the threshold of the greatest building revival in the history of the city, and it is believed by all thoughtful people that the demand for labor in a few weeks will far exceed the supply. "The whole period of youth," said Ruskin, "is one essentially of formation, edification, instruction. There is not an hour of it but is trembling with destinies." if there is a riot, the harmless, innocent Negro should be protected, by all concerned. Let him know that the great white race is his friend." Society Saturday, May 24, 1918 Pleasant Trip to Nogales— Mrs. Dora Williams accompanied Mrs. B.

The grand rally at the Second Baptist church last Sunday, was a complete success. The members had been divided into three clubs, representing Alabama, Arizona and Texas. The leaders of these clubs and the members, did some real work and succeeded in turning in over $500 to the church treasury. Arizona took second place; of course that made Alabama come in for third money, while Texas led with a total of $222. The leader of the Texas club says that it was a walk-away for the Lone Star State. The pastor, Rev. C. A. Glimore, was all smiles Monday morning and stated to a Tribune reporter that his people never failed him. The money raised at this rally will be used to remodel and beautify the interior of the church. The various club leaders and members desire to thank all who contributed to this noble cause and helped to make the rally a success. The slogan of the Texas club was: "Texas must not fail." How well they carried out their program is best told in the above figures. We doff our hat to the Lone Star workers. Oh, you Texas! Mrs. E. M. Brown Indisposed— Friends of Mrs. E. M.

He had been a practicing physician in the state of Alabama for the past fifteen years and in the city of Birmingham for ten years. He leaves a number of relatives and a host of friends to mourn his passing. He joined the Second Baptist church soon after coming to Phoenix and was considered a devout Christian. He retained consciousness until the last and stated that he was prepared to die. His wife and brother arrived here soon after his death and took the body back to Birmingham for burial. In Dr. Booth, the race loses a prominent physician and his family, a devoted husband, kind and loving father. May he rest in peace.

Origin of the Word "Jazz" (By Associated Negro Press) CLEVELAND, O., May 21.—Lieut. James Reese Europe, of the famous 15th N. Y. band, said recently that, so far as he could learn, the word "jazz" originated with a band of four pieces which flourished about fifteen years ago in New Orleans. The queer little band was under the direction of a man named Razz, and was known as Razz' band. It is supposed that with the passing of time the name was changed to "Jazz." Consider this world as a hill. And watch where the multitudes stop: stop; There is always a crowd at the bottom. Press on, you will find room at the top. Whatever be your talents, whatever be your prospects, never speculate away on a chance of a palace that which you may need as a provision against the workhouse. By GEORGE BARR McCUTCHEON Author of "GRAUSTARK," "THE HOLLOW OF HER HAND," "THE PRINCE OF GRAUSTARK," ETC. Copyright by Dodd, Mead and Company, Inc. (Continued from last week's issue) M. "I Think He's Going Now," She Whispered. now. Keep still, all of you. Is he breathing, Mr. Barnes? That awful cough just now seemed to—" Her eyes were fixed on the still face. "Why—why, how tightly he holds my hand! I can't get it away—he must be alive, Mr. Barnes. Where is that silly doctor?" Barnes unclasped the rigid fingers of the man called Andrew Paul, and, shaking his head sadly, drew her away from the improvised bier. He and the shivering Mr. Dillingford conducted her to the dining room, where a single kerosene lamp gave out a feeble, rather ghastly light. "Would you like a little brandy?" inquired Barnes, as she sat down limply in the chair he pulled out for her. "I have a flask masturbation in my—" "I never touch it," she said. "I'm all right. My legs wabble a little but—Sit down Mr. Barnes. I've got something to say to you and I'd better say it now, because it may come in pretty handy for you later on. Don't let those women come in here. Dilly. "This afternoon I walked up in the woods back of the tavern to go over some lines in a new piece we are to do later on—God knows when! I could see the house from where I was sitting. Roon's windows were plainly visible. I saw Roon standing at a window looking toward the cross-roads with a pair of field-glasses. Every once in awhile he would turn to Paul, who stood beside him with a notebook, and say something to him. Paul wrote it down. Then he would look again, turning the glasses this way and that. Suddenly my eyes almost popped out of my head. Paul had gone away from the window. He came back and he had a couple of revolvers in his hands. They stood there for a few minutes carefully examining the weapons and reloading them with fresh cartridges. Just as I was about to start down to the house—it was a little after six o'clock, and getting awfully dark and overcast—Roon took up the glasses again. He seemed to be excited and called his companion. Paul grabbed the glasses and looked down the road. They both became very much excited, pointing and gesticulating, and taking turn about with the glasses." "About six o'clock, you say?" said Barnes, greatly interested. "It was a quarter after six when I got back to the house. I spoke to Mr. Bacon about what I'd seen and he said he believed they were German spies, up to some kind of mischief along the Canadian border. Then about half an hour later you came to the tavern. I saw Roon sneak out to the head of the stairs and listen to your conversation with Jones when you registered. That gave me an idea. It was you they were watching the road for." Barnes held up his hand for silence, "Listen," he said in a low voice. "I will tell you who they were looking for." As briefly as possible he recounted his experience with the strange young woman at the crossroads. "From the beginning I have connected this tragedy with the place called Green Fancy. I'll stake my last penny that they have been hanging around here waiting for the arrival of that young woman. They knew, she was coming and they doubtless knew what she was bringing with her. What do you know about Green Fancy?" He was vastly excited. His active imagination was creating all sorts of possibilities and complications, depredations and intrigues. Bacon was the one who answered, "People live up there and since we've been here two or three men visitors have come down from the place to sample our stock of wet goods. I talked with a couple of 'em day before yesterday. They were out for a horseback "This is Mr. Barnes," said Putnam Jones, indicating the tall traveler with a short jerk of his thumb. knowledge and ability you will not hold the place into which you have been boosted. ride and stopped here for a mug of ale." "Were they foreigners?" inquired Barnes. "If you want to call an Irishman a foreigner, I'll have to say one of them was. He had a beautiful brogue. The other was an American, I'm sure. Yesterday they rode past here with a couple of swell-cloaked women. I saw them turn up the road to Green Fancy." The arrival of four or five men, who stamped into the already crowded hallway from the porch outside, claimed the attention of the quartette. Among them was the doctor who, they were soon to discover, was also the coroner of the county. A very officious deputy sheriff was also in the group. Mr. Jones called out from the doorway: "Mr. Barnes, you're wanted in there." "All right," he responded. The doctor had been working over the prostrate form on the tables. As Barnes entered the room, he looked up and declared that the man was dead. "I am from the sheriff's office," said the man who stood beside the doctor. The rest of the crowd evidently had been ordered to stand back from the tables. "Did you ever see this man before?" "Not until he was carried in here an hour ago." "What's your business up here, Mr. Barnes?" "I have no business up here. I just happened to stroll in this evening." "Well," said the sheriff darkly, "I guess I'll have to ask you to stick around here till we clear this business up. We don't know you an— Well, we can't take any chances. You understand, I reckon." "I certainly fall to understand, Mr. Sheriff. I know nothing whatever of this affair and I intend to continue on my way tomorrow morning." "Well, I guess not. You got to stay here till we are satisfied that you don't know anything about this business. That's all." "Am I to consider myself under arrest, sir?" "I wouldn't go so far as to say that. You just stick around here, that's all I got to say. If you're all right, well soon find it out. What's more, if you are all right you'll be willin' to stay. Do you get me?" "I certainly do. And I can now assure you, Mr. Sheriff, that I'd like nothing better than to stick around here, as you put it. I'd like to help clear this matter up. In the meantime, you may readily find out who I am and why I am here by telegraphing to the mayor of New York city. This document, which experience has taught me to carry for just such an emergency as this, may have some weight with you." He opened his bill folder and drew forth a neatly creased sheet of paper. "Read it, please, and note the date, the signature, the official seal of the New York police department, and also the rather interesting silver print pasted in the lower left hand corner. I think you will agree that it is a good likeness of me. Each year I take the precaution of having myself certified by the police department at home before venturing into unknown and perhaps unfriendly communities." "Yes," said the sheriff dubiously: "but how do I know it ain't a forgery?" "You don't know, of course. But in case it shouldn't be a forgery and I am subjected to the indignity of arrest or even detention, you would have a nasty time defending yourself in a civil suit for damages. I shall remain here, as you suggest, but only for the purpose of aiding you in getting to the bottom of this affair." Standing on Jim Conley's front porch a little after sunrise, Barnes made the following declaration: "Everything goes to show that these men were up here for one of two reasons. They were either trying to prevent or to enact a crime. The latter is my belief. They were afraid of me. Why? Because they believed I was trailing them and likely to spoil their game. Gentlemen, those fellows were here for the purpose of robbing the place you call Green Fancy." "What's that?" came a rich, mellow voice from the skirts of the crowd. A man pushed his way through and confronted Barnes. He was a tall, good-looking fellow of thirty-five, and it was apparent that he had dressed in haste. "My name is O'Dowd, and I am a guest of Mr. Curtis at Green Fancy. Why do you think they meant to rob his place?" "Well," began Barnes dryly, "it would seem that his place is the only one in the neighborhood that would bear robbing. My name is Barnes. Of course, Mr. O'Dowd, it is more speculation on my part." "But who shot the man!" demanded the Irishman. "He certainly wasn't winged by anyone from our place. Why, Lord love you, sir, there isn't a soul at Green Fancy who could shoot a thief if he saw one. This is Mr. De Soto, also a guest at Green Fancy. He will, I think, bear me out in upsetting your theory." A second man approached, shaking his head vigorously. He was a thin, pale man with a singularly scholastic face. Quite an unprepossessing, unsanguinary person, thought Barnes. "Mr. Curtis' chauffeur, I think it was, said the killing occurred just above this house," said he, visibly excited. "Green Fancy is at least a mite from here, isn't it? You don't shoot burglars a mile from the place they are planning to rob, do you." "I'll admit it's a bit out of reason," said Barnes.

FEDERAL REPORT ON BEEF SANITATION The extension service of the college of agriculture at the university has just received the following official communication from the United States department of agriculture at Washington. It will prove of interest to range cattlemen of Arizona; "The number of cattle, other than dairy cows, was 54 per 100 people in Phoenix Wholesale Meat Company Phoenix Wholesale Meat Company Sells the CHOICEST MEATS At the Lowest Possible Prices At the following markets, which we own and operate HUGHES MARKET—17 W.

The low point in production of beef cattle was reached in 1914 when 35,855,000 were estimated to be on farms. The number increased to 45,546,000 on January 1, 1918. "Exports of beef and beef products fell from 733,000,000 pounds, the high point in the fiscal year 1900, to 151,000,000 pounds in 1914. They rose to 395,000,000 pounds in the fiscal year 1915, and to 601,000,000 pounds in the fiscal year 1918. A most significant change was the decline in exports of fresh beef from 352,000,000 in 1901 to only 6,000,000 pounds in 1914. "A representative of the food administration in Europe reports a reduction in the number of beef cattle of 14 per cent in Italy and 17 per cent in France. It seems probable that there has been also some reduction in the beef supply of other belligerent countries of Europe, although definite figures are lacking. The import demand of Europe for beef products is "Latest reports show Australia to have 10,459,000 head of cattle in 1916, or 95 per cent of the number on hand in 1914; and Argentina to have 25,867,000 in 1914. "An increase in the number of beef animals in this country would appear to be justified by our own relative increase in population and probable export demand, but the extent of that increase will depend on the feed supply, on prices and on other economic conditions.

We are today in receipt of a communication from our representative in the Ranger field that the derrick has been started on the Woods tract. He also advised that the Poteet well began drilling May 14th, and from present indications the well will be one of the big ones of the field. The lessees are already putting up storage tanks to take care of the oil. This well is hardly 1/2 mile from our holdings. He also advises us that less than $ \frac{1}{4} $ of a mile northeast of our Walker tract the well being drilled there has also reached the top of the Black Lime with a splendid showing of oil. They will probably be delayed some time on that well because of an accident to the casing. The indications in both wells, however, have confirmed the selection of these two tracts by us and we are confidently looking forward to production of from 5,000 to 10,000 barrels in each well. We wish our stockholders to constantly bear in mind that these two purchasers represent but a small portion of our ultimate holdings, and, judging by the rapidity with which our stock is being taken up, we should within a very short time be drilling wells on several other locations.

There is no rec- ‘ord of such drastic and humiliating terms being offered to a defeated na- tion by its conquerors. It is almost impossible to visualize the changed world conditions of the present and those of only a short year ago, or even of ten months ago. ‘Then it evidently appeared to the war, lord at Berlin that his vaulting ambition was to be realized and German arms to be yic- torious, ‘True, the plans of the Ger- man. military, chiefs formulated long before the great war began, and worked out, as they believed, to ex- ‘actness in every detail, had been frus- trated time and time again by unex- pected and determined - resistance, first by Belgium, then by the “con- temptible” little British army, and at the same time by the unexpected dash and fighting quality of the half-armed Russian ‘troops, and again by the lack of morale of the Austrian army, but finally Russia had broken down en- tirely, Rumania had been utterly de- feated, Serbia had been completely overrun, and the Italian army, after a brilliant two years of climbing the Alps and wresting the most difficult positions from the Austrians, bad fallen a victim to German propaganda and suffered an overwhelming and, it was feared, an irreparable disaster. Huns Thought They'd Done It It was then that, rapidly transfer- Flo Sb Apia ae, iis tos Russian frontier to the western front, the French and British armies, wor- ried and somewhat discouraged, were confronted by largely superior num- bers and driven back in what now seems like a rout. Within a single month virtually all the gains that had been made since the battle of the Marne, in the fall of 1914, were lost. It looked as if the German armies would be able to drive a wedge be- tween the French and British, cutting off communication between the two. Haig was frankly confessing that he and his army were standing with their backs against the wall, The French Were retreating, and the thunder. of German artillery was distinctly heard in Paris. It is now known that Foch almost despaired of being able to save the French capital, while the ability of the British army to prevent the capture of the channel ports was also in doubt. This was the gloomy situ- ation only ten short months ago. ‘No Wonder Wilhelm Was Optimistic | At no time since the very beginning jot the war, when, according to Ger- men military calculations, France ‘would be defeated within a month and Russia within three or four, while ‘England would not be able to get any army worth mentioning across the English channel to the continent, had the prospect for victory seemed so bright to the kaiser and his military advisors. There seemed to be a pros- pect for a vastly greater German em- pire than even they had dreamed of, At that time the destruction of Russia was hardly contemplated. After the defeat of the czar, it was, no doubt, ‘the plan of the kaiser and his mili- tary advisors to form an alliance with Bu with all the advantages, of course, on the side of Germany, but ‘with the government of Russia still preserved. Italy also was still an ally, and while a subordinate member of the German alliance would still be rated as an independent power. But if the campaign of 1918 had resulted in a German victory, there would have been no Russia except as @ part of the great Germanic empire. ‘There would have been no Italy in the sense of a separate and independent power. Austria would have been re- duced to a place of complete subordi nation, and the only Balkan, nation which would have retained the sem- blance of independence would have been Bulgaria, Turkey would have come completely under German dom. imation. France would have been crippled beyond hope of revival as a military or commercial nation. Bel. gium would have been absorbed by Germany, as woul Holland and Den mark a little later. Great Britain standing alone, could hardly have held out, and if defeated, her fleet would have been destroyed, her proud posi tion as mistress of the seas lost for ever, her dominion of India and the Suez canal gone with the rest of her Power and glory. Then, indeed, Ger many would haye been, literally a world-wide power. Her dominion of Burope would haye been | complete; her princes and ‘her armies would have. enforced obedience trom the shores of the Arctle ocean to the warm waters es, Pergian gulf, and would have Wéminated the continents of Asia and Africa. An alliance would Had Germany Wen in 1918 yhave been formed with Japan, China would have been given over to ex ploitation, and the power of the United States would have been challenged in the western world. Never Such a: Reversal in History | Never in history has there been such a complete reversal of conditions ‘in the same length of time. Now the German dream of empire is complete- jy shattered. ~ The kaiser, who expect- ed to dominate the world, a modern Alexander, with power far beyond the wildest ambition of the marvelous Greek king, is a fugitive, an. unwel- come guest of the little nation he ex. pected to absorb, facing the allied de- mand ‘that he be brought like a com- mon criminal before an international court to answer for his’ crimes.

It is said that there is a class of Germans who would wel come allied invasion and the over throw of,the present German govern ment, because they figure that it would mean the restoration of the monarchy. In this, however, they arc mistaken. There is no sentiment, or very little, I apprehend, outside of Germany favorable to the restoration of the monarchy. The German likes to trade and make money. He also has considerable national pride. He does not relish having his country permanently occupied by foreign troops. He will be in favor of making the best terms possible, with the hope of getting out of them in some way later. 1 believe that Germany will sign. : Senator Underwood Expresses His Views On The Race Problem | (By pa eT ees | Birmingham, Ala., May 21,—United States Senator Underwood was true to Ce Southern conviction of justice. when he was drawn out with refer- ence to the right of suffrage, and the ‘reconstruction problems with refer ‘ence to the Race, | ‘The occasion was a gathering of white southern women who were an- xious to draw out the senator on the opposition he has shown to the rights of women to vete. When the discus- ‘ston’ finally reached the Race problem ever present in southern discussions of all kinds, the senator was asked if ‘it would not “be possible for the state to control the woman yote as it had controlled the man vote. _ He replied that the question would of necessity be settled by the court, that while the court by a divided vote. permitted southern states to contro! the Negro male vote, he did not think it the part of wisdom to run the risk of a contrary verdict in the present. He spoke of the contention of Lin- coln that the white man must control and’ without attempt to offend, to the activity of Susan B. Anthony in en- deavoring to institute Negro political ‘equality in the conquered South. With reference to the disposition of the Negro soldier, Senator Underwood said: “I wotld have the Negro soldier return to the place he oceupied before the war; to take up his work where he left it, to continue to live in peace and amity with the white man. No other order can be established—old conditions must be resumed if all par- ties would avoid friction of the most ‘serious character.” WHY WORRY OVER THIS? | Washington, D. C., May 21.—There has been quite a stir of comment among theofficial family in Washing- [ton and outsiders as well, because of the fact that all the cablegrams giv: ing the names of the “official party” traveling with Secretary of the Navy Daniels on his tour through Europe, the name of Robert Gaines, a Race man appears. Gaines is described officially as messenger, but his name is always on the official list sent by cablegram.
