PHOENIX VOLUME II. NO. 9 IGNORANCE CAUSE MUCH LAW-BREAKING SAYS NOTED EDUCATOR (By Associated Negro Press) LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 28.—Illiteracy among both races in the United States is a constant invitation to Bolshevism, according to Dean L. B. Moore, of Howard University, Washington, D. C., in an address before the Negro Educational Association of Kentucky. “There are 5,000,000 adults of both races in the United States that can neither read nor write,” said Dr. Moore. “Ignorance like this is the cause of sectional and racial feeling and constant law-breaking. No one can understand a law who cannot read it.” BUT HONORS DON'T PAY BILLS TOPEKA, May 28.—What is a physician, who went to war, and upon his return found his practice had all left him, going to do? That is the question presented to Governor Allen by a Kansas physician. He had a fine practice in a city of Kansas and enlisted in the medic corps when the Kansas National Guard was federalized. He was wounded in the Argonne while attending wounded Kansans. He recently returned to his home and this is the letter he sent the governor: "I have had difficulty in getting established since the war and the proposition is getting rather acute. I had such high hopes when I was discharged, as so many had told me, 'a grateful people will reward you,' that I grew to believe it. Now I would be glad if I had a good business; like I left to go to war, but my parrons have gone to the doctors who stayed at home and they show little inclination to return. They tell me how noble and brave I am, etc., etc., but that doesn't settle the grocery bill." * TUSKEGEE SUMMER SCHOOL WILL OPEN JUNE NINTH (By Associated Negro Press) TUSKEGEE, Ala., May 27.—The tenth annual session of the Tuskegee Institute Summer School for Teachers will be held June 9th to July 18th. Already applicants are coming in rapidly and the indications are that the attendance of last year will be exceeded. This is the largest Negro summer school in the country. Courses will be offered in English, mathematics, science, history, geography, business practice, education, physical training for women, first aid, agriculture, handicrafts, domestic science, sewing, canning and manual training. AN EDUCATED PEOPLE MAKE BETTER CITIZENS (By Associated Negro Press) MERIDIAN, Miss., May 27.—The state convention of the Mississippi Colored Teachers' Association, just closed here, was one of the best ever held. It was shown that educational work in the state has been rapidly advancing during the past year, and many suggestions were put forward for still greater progress during the next year. The South has at last realized that it is far better to give educational opportunities than to hold the people in ignorance. (By Associated Negro Press) BOSTON, Mass., May 27.—The appearance in Paris of William Monroe Trotter has solved, in part, the cause for the recent non-appearance of the Boston Guardian. Mr. Trotter has issued a statement in Paris to the effect that he represents 14,000,000 Negroes in this country, and seeks to lay before the peace conference a protest against American social injustices. Mr. Woodrow Wilson is also there, Mr. Trotter is reminded. (By Associated Negro Press) ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 28.—John D. Wilkerson, a young man of intelligence in this community, prepared a treatise on his opinion of a case before the St. Louis bar, and so cleverly was it prepared that it was thought by experienced white lawyers that it had come from a county judge. CARUSO ENJOYED FOLK SONG SINGING BY NEGRO STUDENTS (By Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, Ga., May 28.—The people of this community are still commenting on the recent visit of Enrico Caruso, the great Italian tenor, who went to Morris Brown College to hear the wonderful folk-song singing. With him was Mrs. Caruso. After he had listened to several selections, a request was made for him to sing, and he responded with several numbers. (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, May 27.-The effort to arrive at closer working relations between the Races in Chicago, in order that there may be a definite program carried, is meeting with tremendous success. The work is advancing so far that the South is beginning to take notice and has reached the point of offering suggestions, which, one of the Southern papers states, "the North has never been slow in offering to the South." Among the suggestions offered by the Beaumont (Texas) Enterprise is the following, which, of course, is not popular in Chicago, but has an element of truth in it towards the close that is sufficient to make the skeptical sit up and take notice. "It may be suggested," says the Enterprise, "to begin with, that better results will be achieved in the education of the Negro by the establishment for him of separate schools, presided over by Negroes. This would be an innovation in Illinois, but one that we think that the better advised men of the Negro Race would approve, since it would permit the Negro boy or girl to develop his or her mental resources slowly and in keeping with the instincts of the race, and free from the inevitable distinction of the class room, where the student, to grow up in a proper, and not false environment, free from hopes of social equality, of which he is now disillusioned only after he leaves the northern grade school. "This, with the provision of employment for the Negro, and the abandonment of the present policy of using him as a political football, will go far toward aiding the North in finding a solution of whatever problem may arise out of the racial question GIVING THE NEGRO EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY WILL ENABLE HIM LARGELY TO SOLVE HIS OWN PROBLEMS, WITH LESS OF INTERPOSITION OF MAUDLIN SENTIMENTAL THEORIES FROM HIS WHITE NEIGHBORS." TEN-ACRE FARM FOR 95 CENTS (From the Hartford, Conn., Courant) PORTLAND, Conn.—If there is any one in this section who is anxious to get a bargain, he should apply to M. J. Leahy, tax collector, who is advertising a ten-acre farm for sale for 95 cents. Collector Leahy has been unable to find an owner for the farm and cannot collect the 95 cents due in taxes. He is therefore selling the farm for the taxes. TEXAS SCHOOL CHILDREN ENJOY MAY FESTIVAL (By Associated Negro Press) HOUSTON, Tex., May 27.—More than 2,000 children, representing every school in Houston, participated in the May festival at West End Park An audience estimated at 3,000 attended. The entire affair showed great progress and left an impression for good that will be lasting. Prof. J. D. Ryan, principal of one of the schools, was one of the speakers. COLORED OPERA COMPANY (By Associated Negro Press) OMAHA, Neb., May 28.—The Boyd Theatre, the second largest opera house in the state, was the scene of a most successful presentation of Ouida's "Under Two Flags," May 3. by Omaha's popular amateur organization, the Dubois Dramatic Club. WHY MANY FAIL We limit the success of our own work by our indolence and lack of faith more than any outside circumstances limit it for us.

DEMOCRACY RACE EQUALITY RACIAL JUSTICE XIN AMENDMENT BROWN FEATURES SERVANT PROBLEM BEGINNING TO WORRY SOUTHERN LADIES SERVANT PROBLEM BEGINNING TO WORRY SOUTHERN LADIES (By Associated Negro Press) ROCK HILL, S. C., May 28.--There has been some discussion here relative to a report that the Colored women of the community have grown so prosperous with material goods and money, that they have formed an organization known as "Fold-the-Arms" club. One daily states: "Whether they have formed any club or not, householders tell us more difficulty is being experienced by Colored labor now than ever before in the history of this city, and no one seems to be able to learn just what the trouble is." Another states: "Let the white people learn to serve themselves. It will not harm them. To the housekeeper who has learned to serve herself there is no terror in the situation. We require too much 'service' anyway." This comment from a white newspaper in the South reads like fiction. There is no servant problem for those who serve themselves. Following is part of a paper on Re- I'VE - WH TO DO DEMOCRACY RACE EQUALITY RACIAL JUSTICE XIV AMENDMENT construction that was written by Mrs. P. R. McCuHough, 238 West Jackson street and read to the members of the Federation at their meeting last week in this city: "Only the wise shall understand, 'or it will take moral, intellectual and spiritual life of a people, a people united in compact', rowing, but not drifting, lifting as we climb, to give a real freedom in the universe. "The world is doing things by united forces, which is our example and we are here in reconstruction on aircraft, child welfare, religion and the making of literature to develop our highest powers, improve every opportunity to satisfy our deepest longings for educational advantage. A united compact can lift our Douglas school to a 'high' in Phoenix.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1919 PLURIBUS UNUM NA'S GREATEST W PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, GEORGIA MAGISTRATE THINKS BLACKS USE PISTOL TOO FREELY GEORGIA MAGISTRATE THINKS BLACKS USE PISTOL TOO FREELY (By Associated Negro Press) AUGUSTA, Ga., May 28.—Before pronouncing sentence on William Morgan, charged with manslaughter, Judge Hammon said: "Human life is too precious to be held in light regard. If there is any criticism I have to make of the Colored race, it is that they are too reckless with human life. If they have a pistol, they think they must use it, and they do use it. "The white people, judges and court officials, I think," continued the judge, "take too narrow a view of the Colored citizen. They say he is respectful and a good Negro simply because he tips his hat to the white man. He is called a 'white man's negro,' and they let it go at that." This attitude, in the opinion of Judge Hammond, makes the Negro overbearing to his own people; realizing that he has the backing of white men if he commits crime. (BY Associated Negro Press) BALTIMORE, Md., May 28—With IT'S A FAIR QUESTION. ONCE DONE MY DUTY.— AT ARE YOU GOING FOR ME AND MINE? two colored city councilmen taking their seats this week, and a Republican mayor, boosted into office by Colored voters, this city has awakened to its own power as never before. Colored people in the city yield over sixteen thousand votes, while the mayor-elect won by less than 9,000 majority. William L. Fitzgerald and Warner T. McGuinn are the new councilmen. The latter will represent the Fourteenth Ward, which has a few more white than colored residents. Mayor-elect William Broening, in a statement to colored voters through the Afro-American, thanked them for their support, and promised to make his actions speak louder than words. Besides a Colored member on the Board of Education, the Colored people are prepared to request and put through demands for a new high school, swimming pool, better streets, and playgrounds in colored sections. A COMMUNTY LAUNDRY (By Associated Negro Press) NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 27.—A "community laundry" is to be established in this city for the Colored housewives. The women may carry their clothes there and launder them after the most approved fashion. The plan is part of a missionary effort of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, and the building is to cost ten thousand dollars. TRIBUNE CHAPLAIN SCOTT OF FORT HAUCHUCA LECTURED IN CITY Wednesday evening, May 21, a small but appreciative audience gathered at the A. M. E. church for the purpose of listening to an address by Army Chaplain Scott of the Tenth Cavalry, from Fort Hauchuca, Ariz. The speaker was introduced by Mr. Harold Prince, also of Fort Huachuca and prominent in Y. M. C. A. work among the soldiers of the Fort. Mr. Prince introduced Chaplain Scott as a man whom the soldiers of the Tenth Cavalry loved, honored and obeyed. He paid a glowing tribute to his character and reputation as an ideal Christian, a brave soldier and a real leader. He also took occasion to speak a few words complimentary to the pastor of the A. M. E. church, Rev. R. H. Hering, a man with whom he was well acquainted, having known him many years ago in California and was at one time a member of his church. Chaplain Scott, although tired, and, as he said, in no mood for public speaking, delivered a masterful discourse that was repeatedly interrupted with applause. He drove home his argument with force and a masterfulness that showed him the brilliant ora- BROWN FEATURES tor that he is. Among other things he said that the colored people should love more and hate less. "Hate," said the speaker, "reacts upon the person who harbors it. If we substitute love 'or hate, we will find ourselves growing broader; it will make of us better citizens and will come back to us in the form of better treatment, larger opportunities, a richer, nobler life." The chaplain's lecture was enlivened with a number of appropriate anecdotes that added interest to his discourse and enabled him to hold the audience spell-bound for nearly two hours. The only regret was that the house was not packed with people to hear the wonderful words of encour agement and advice delivered to us by this great man. The party left Thursday morning in the chaplain's car for Fort Huachuca. In the party were Chaplain Scott and wife, Mr. and Mrs. and Harold Prince. While here they were the house guests of Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Herring, who saw to it that they were royally entertained. JACK DEMPSEY SELECTS TOLEDO, May 27.—Harry Wills, one of the greatest heavyweights in the country, has been signed by Dempsey's manager, Jack Kearns, as one of the eight crack sparring partners engaged to tune up Dempsey for his coming fight with Jess Willard on July 4 for the heavyweight title. The pastor and members of the Second Baptist church, corner Fifth street and Jefferson, have decided that the present brick structure is inadequate to accommodate the large and growing membership, and so they have inaugurated a campaign to raise sufficient funds to convert the present building into a $10,000 church edifice. Nearly $600 is already in the treasury for this purpose and the various clubs which have been working so faithfully the past three months will increase their activities in an endeavor to have sufficient funds on hand so that the contractors may begin work on the magnificent new structure early in November of this year. To Rev. C. A. Gilmore, the pastor of this church, is due no small degree of praise for creating such interest and enthusiasm in the members that will make them go out and work to bring about such a wonderful achievement. The proposed building, when completed, will be the most imposing and expensive church building owned by Colored people between the cities of Denver and Los Angeles. The church is entirely free from debt and inasmuch as the members are united and agreed upon a common cause, their efforts should meet with success. COLORED BOYS LEARN CHICAGO, May 28.—The Chicago Association of Commerce has stirred up a veritable "hornets' nest" in its gratuitous efforts to "furnish surplus Negro labor to Southern communities." It develops that there is a small conspiracy of plans, backed by Northern white men who have capital invested in the South, to get the black laborers South. As a matter of cold fact, there is a great demand for laborers in the South, and there is an increasing demand for laborers in the North, but the race men are exercising careful judgment in deciding where they go, and only a small percentage care in the least to return South. Many of them are going North and West, but few South. In addition to this, as fast as they can get passports, thousands of foreigners are going back to their native lands abroad. So great has been the demand, for one reason—and another, that Congress has been besieged with requests to pass a law placing restrictions on emigration. All of this makes the Race man a most important factor in the economic situation. There is every reason to believe that, in the long run, he will fare far better because of the pressing demand for industrial workers in many fields. The majority of the communities that received the famous telegram from the Chicago Association of Commerce have sent word back that they do not wish the "Southern Negroes with Northern ideas," and the few who have sent representatives up here to "look them over" have returned to their homes with the opinion that there has been a change in the manner of the people who once were kept from knowing that "a man's a man for a' that." TAMPA, Fla.—The Central Florida Conference, presided over by Bishop John Hurst, D. D., of Balitmore, Md. has just closed one of the most successful sessions ever held in the history of the organization, and Revs. S. A. Williams, R. D. McLin, M. D. Potter, A. Jackson and I. H. Dixon were elected delegates to the general conference in St. Louis, May, 1920. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Due to the fact that the retiring congress has failed to make appropriation for the necessary activities of the department of labor, George Edmund Hayes, diretcor of Negro Economics, may lose his position. COLUMBIA, S. C.—The legislature has just voted $100,000 for a monument to the colored soldiers of the state. A likey amount was appropriated for a monument to her white sons. RICHMOND, Va.—Colored citizens of Richmond to the number of about 20,00 have signed a petition asking that members of their race be appointed principals and special teachers in the schools here. 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year ROOSEVELT WROTE INTERESTING SKETCH OF HIS LIFE-WORK In 1895 Julian Ralph was trying to get details from which to write a sketch of Theodore Roosevelt, then police commissioner of New York. Mr. Roosevelt dodged for some time, but finally consented and wrote Ralph a letter outlining his life up to that time with Rooseveltian directness and charm. That letter recently was published for the first time in an article by George H. Sargent in the Boston Transcript. It is here reprinted: Police Department, New York, N. Y. Theodore Roosevelt, President.— July 11th, 1895.-Julian Ralph, Esq. 513 Seventh Avenue, Asbury Park, N. J. My Dear Mr. Ralph: 1. I married Edith Kermit Carow in 1886. 2. I have five children, three boys and two girls. 3. My city address is 689 Madison avenue; but that is not my house, the only house I own is in the country and is called Sagamore Hill. It is at Oyster Bay, Long Island. 4. I spend all of my time at Sagamore Hill, excepting when I am officially engaged. Prior to 1886 I spent most of my time when I was not in the legislature on my ranch at Medora on the Little Missouri in western North Dakota. Since then I have had time only to make a trip once a year for a fortnight or a month, or maybe six weeks, to my ranch or to the Rockies. To my mind, Sagamore Hill is as lovely a home as there is in the United States, although it is a perfectly simple one. All of my children were born there. My hunting trophies and the heads of the big game I shot hang on the walls, in the halls, in the dining room and in the library. In the cool fall weather I sit in the hall or the library by the big fireplace, where the hickory and oak logs crack and the fire dances and shines over the elk, moose and buffalo heads on the wall and the bear-skins on the floor. You must come out and see for yourself. I have a library of about four thousand volumes. I think it is especially good in hunting books, out-of-door books, and in English poetry and American history; (by English poetry, I, of course, include American). In hunting books, and books of outdoor life, in the fields and woods, I think it is without question the best library in the country. I have not got very many pictures; still there are some fine engravings of Lincoln, Grant, Washington and Hamilton, and two or three reproductions of the old Dutch painters. I have some pretty good bronzes, the best being some vases and some panther, bison and deer figures by Kemys, the American sculptor. My house stands on the hill overlooking the bay and the sound; from the corner of the broad veranda (where I always have plenty of rocking chairs) you can see out for a score of miles across stretches of land and water. I do not think there can be a lovelier view than this at sunset. In the top of my house I have my big gunroom, and half of my books are there, too; the others are down in my library, which is my favorite sitting place, for it has a huge fireplace at one end, and above it the horns of mountain sheep, mountain goat and prong-horn antelope. I was born in my father's house, 28 East Twentieth street, New York. For eight generations my father's people have lived in this city, so that we are about as distinct a New York family as can be found. Originally they lived on the Battery, then in Roosevelt street, which was then our big farm. We gradually moved uptown, and my grandfather built a big house in what was then the country, at the corner of Fourteenth street and Broadway. By the way, I was a great deal of a wrestler at Harvard, but though, as I told you, I never won a championship; but more than once I won my trial heats and got into the final round. I was captain of my polo team at one time, but since I left college I have taken most of my exercise in the 'cow country" or hunting gabe in the mountains. This is egotistic; but you asked for it. Bombay averages more than seventy-two inches of rain a year and gets most of it within four or five months.

F. Richardson of that city. We are quite familiar with the writings of Mr. Richardson, having read many of his articles while he was connected with the Houston Observer. He is an able writer and a glance at the first issue of the Informer will convince anyone of his fearlessness, for it portrays the true character of this great journalist. We see nothing but success for this newspaper and it is our sincere wish that every person who reads this article will send $2 for a year's subscription to the Informer, thereby helping this "Moses" of the Southland to continue his fight for Righteousness and Justice and Freedom of an oppressed Race. FORWARD, NOT BACKWARD, MR. WILSON Beer and wine are spoken of in the President's message, that comes to Congress from over the sea, in a way that is likely to arouse certain people in almost all parts of the country. He asks that he be given power to lift the ban so that the manufacturers of wines and beers may proceed to prepare it for all of us—for those who know how much to take as well as for those who do not. It may be that the President recommends such because of his being so far away from home, and in the midst of those who do not think as Americans think. Being so far away and then among strangers may account for the President's seeing strange things. He has been away from home quite a while without being criticised severely, and from the way we see it now it will pay him to stay on where he is and let us run things over here. We have been running them pretty well here of late and they seem to go better than they have been going. We don't want any more beer and wine. That is one long step toward something stronger. We hope that the spirit of temperance in Congress is strong enough to rid the far-sent message of all that is not good. There may not be much left of it if this done, but we hope that it will be done. If we get beer, it will not be long before we will want some of the real old "Rocking Rye," without which none can be perfect in his own sight. No, Mr. Wilson, we do not want any beer—not just now. We have no place for the sale of it, for the building in which we use to sell it is now used for something better, and the man who used to sell it there has not the time to bother with it now, for he prefers being home with his wife and children, who have plenty now and are running over with joy because of the presence of papa at all times when he is not at work. We don't want anything to come back to us that is not good for all of us. Those who think of bringing back wine and beer will be graciously (?) thought of by the voters, etc., not many months hence.—Ex. CONFIDENCE IN RACE BUSINESS MEN During the ante-bellum days our people learned to distrust each other to a very large degree, and this reliance is handed down to the present time in a large measure. Many Colored business enterprises can trace their lack of Colored patronage to the lack of confidence in their business ability by people of their own race. Sometimes it is pure meanness and cussedness on the part of many Colored people that they do not patronize their own business enterprises and go to whites, but it is largely due to the lack of confidence. Haven't you known of an error happening in some business transaction between parties, both Colored? Resulting from this error the patron gets angry with the business firm and very often makes the assertion, something like this: "I knew that nigger wouldn't do the right thing." He gets angry and vows that he will never again patronize a Colored business house, and if he stopped there our story would end. But he goes about spreading lies and suggesting suspicion to others. But let this be a business conducted by whites and an error is made, he would think something like this: "Course that's a white man and he'll do the square thing even though he made an error about it; he will correct it if I give him a chance." Notice he didn't say anything about giving the Colored person a chance. As long as we have that distrust about the business qualifications of each other, we can never hope to build up paying business enterprises. We must learn to have confidence in each other, learn to patronize each other and build up business of our own where our own boys and girls may find employment. Some time ago a certain Colored man opened up a certain business in this city; a young Colored person dropped into our office and happened to speak of this particular business, and said that they had some work they wanted done, but wondered if this man could do it as well as—(here they named a white concern doing the same kind of work.) Of course, the Colored business man is not always as careful and painstaking in the conduct of his business as he should be. That is another story. Nor is the white man always as careful in the conduct of his business as he should be. That, too, is another story. But in this we take for granted that the businesses are on a par with each other, one white and the other black. Let us patronize our own where they are deserving. Let us build up business places of which we may point to with pride; let us make room for our young men and women with business aspirations. This can be done through confidence in our race to conduct business. CLARKSBURG that colored people grand jury panel race and color, J Ethel Whitman, btered pleas of aba son county court ATLANTA.

Letter From Florida Following is an excerpt from a letter received from one of our Florida subscribers: St. Augustine, Fla., May 21, 1919—Editor the Tribune: Enclosed find money order for renewal subscription to the Tribune. I certainly enjoy reading the paper and would not be without it. Yours truly, Mrs. Frances Van Dyke, 95 King Ferry street. Necrological On May 18 the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Smith, 21 East Madison street, passed away after an illness lasting two months and eight days. Little Ruby Juanita Smith was the only child in this family and the parents are heartbroken over the loss of their little girl. The mother is not in the best of health and for five weeks before the death of little Ruby Mrs. Smith scarcely closed her eyes, for she kept a constant watch over her sick child. The parents desire to thank the kind friends who visited and sympathized with them during the illness and death of their daughter. Besides her parents, there is a host of relatives and friends who will mourn the passing of this little girl. Install New Soda-Fountain Mr. Roy Lucas, proprietor of Irvine park, 943 West Grant street, has installed an up-to-date soda fountain in his refreshment parlor and is prepared to make any kind of drink, from the simple lemonade to the most complicated phosphate.

All he asks is that you name your favorite drink, and he is the boy who knows how to make it and serve it. Give him a trial. Park open day and night. Up-to-Date Rooming House Mrs. Emma L.

People who want a nice, quiet place away from the business section of the city, yet within five minutes' ride to the heart of town, will find in this home the realization of their dreams. These rooms will not remain vacant very long, and if you want one, or a suite of rooms, better make reservations now. The place is 1122 East Washington street and her phone number is 2473. Saturday, May 24, Mrs. Ennis Bell, 614 East Madison street, entertained Mrs. F. H. Alexander of Ash Fork, Arizona, with a lovely dinner party. All present enjoyed the feast. Federation Elects Officers At the close of the meeting of the Arizona Federation of Colored Women's clubs, the president, Mrs. Lynn Ross Carter, was presented with a beautifully engraved gold locket as a token of esteem and appreciation for her work during the past year. Mrs. O. G. Howard made the presentation speech and presented the token in behalf of the members of the Federation. Mrs. Carter responded in a few well chosen words, thanking the organization for thus honoring her and assured the members that she was willing and ready at all times to work for the advancement of the Federation. When time came for the election of time cared for the ensuing Mrs. Carter's name was proposed by one of the members and she was unanimously re-elected to serve as president for a second term. Following is a list of the other officers elected. Vice-president, Mrs. O. G. Howard; second vice-president, Mrs. Judge Taylor of Mesa; treasurer, Mrs. Lillie Wiggins; recording secretary, Mrs. Clarence Hamilton; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Anna B. Smith; child welfare, Mrs. Ruby Jones; parlementarian, Mrs. A. C. Caldwell; chaplain Mrs. Elma Scaggs. This closed one of the most successful meetings in the history of the organization. Greetings came from the president of the Northwestern Colored Women's clubs and Mrs. Ella S. White of Los Angeles, former president of the Arizona Federation of Colored Women's clubs, and were read at the meeting. We produce the greetings in full else where in this issue. Present Gavel to Ladies Messrs. A. M. Carter, A. G. Shepperson, O. G. Howard, A. J. S. Vaughn, W. J. Jones and Lewis Brady presented the members of the Federation with a neat little gavel that had been handsomely engraved and was enclosed in a beautiful little box carved from the finest maple. Mr. A. M. Carter made the presentation speech which was filled with logic and eloquence and was a rhetorical master piece. The ladies thanked them for their donation and assured the speaker that his timely words of advice had not fallen upon deaf ears. Nine Receive Diplomas Principal P. Landry of Douglas school delivered a short address to the pupils of the eighth grade Monday evening and presented nine of them with certificates which will entitle them to enter high school next year.

Prescott Visitors Mr. and Mrs. L. A. McCarty of Prescott were business visitors in Phoenix a few days this week. They came overland in their Ford and while here were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Henderson, 1228 East Madison street. They were favorably impressed with this city and some day may be numbered among the residents of the capital city. They conduct a second-hand clothing store and a cleaning and pressing shop in Prescott. Their advertisement appears in the Tribune and is an invitation to all who journey to the Mile-High City this summer to make their store your headquarters. C. M. E.

E. church was a financial success. He turned in $100.15 as the net proceeds of the dinner. Everybody who partook of the chicken feast says it was the best ever. When C. S. V. Jones announces a dinner at the A. M. E. church, corner Second street and Jefferson, you can always depend on getting your money's worth. Graduation Exercises Cancelled Owing to a series of events and some misunderstanding about the matter, the graduation exercises which were to be held at the Auditorium, June 6, have been definitely cancelled. The high school graduates, Messrs. Clay, Merriman and Williams, will not deliver their orations from the rostrum in the high school auditorium and there will be no exercises at the school for the colored graduates—absolutely none whatever.

Goldinol Club Ladies of the Goldinol club met last week with Mrs. A. R. Taylor, 917 West Grant street. Quite an interesting meeting was held and all spent a pleasant social hour. Next meeting will be with Mrs. P. F. McCutcheon, 1215 East Jefferson. No Dancing. Absolutely None In the last issue of the Tribune it was erroneously stated that the Federation of Colored Women's clubs would close their meeting with an entertainment and dance. The entertainment was given at Irvine Park and it was a grand affair, but the ban was placed on dancing as the Federation does not indulge in or approve of dancing. We offer this as a correction of the article which appeared last week. Charity Club Members of the Charity club will meet next week with Mrs. Lynn Carter, 714 West Grant street. All members urged to attend. June 19th Celebration The Hercules club will give an old-fashioned basket picnic and genuine "Juneteenth" celebration at Irvine Park, 943 West Grant street, on the 19th of June. All kinds of athletic games will be featured; prominent men of the race will deliver addresses, and everyone who goes to Irvine park on that day will be well entertained. Remember the date and watch the Tribune for future announcements. The Household of Ruth gave Mr. and Mrs. Perry Williams a pleasant surprise Tuesday night in the form of a Miscellaneous Shower'. The newly weds were taken completely by surprise and never was there a more enjoyable party held. Mr. and Mrs. Williams reside at 15 East McKinley street. Birthday Party Irvine park was the scene of a brilliant birthday party Monday evening, May 26, when Miss Novellette Hall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Hall of Litchfield, Arizona, entertained a number of her playmates at this resort. The party was given in honor of Miss Hall's fourteenth anniversary and all who were guests had the time of their young lives. Miss Hall returned to Litchfield Tuesday. Living Pictures Were a Success The living picture show staged at the A. M. E. church a few weeks ago by Meidames I. F. Silvers and Chas. F. Carter was a "howling success." Following is a list of the characters and the parts they represented: Mrs. Mary Scott, "Silver Threads Among the Gold;" Mrs. W. C. Hackett and baby, Mrs. Hugh Smith. Ophelia Williams, Bobbie Stearns; "The Flight Into Egypt," Messrs. Floyd Shomo and Ford White and Mrs. A. M. Carter; "America," Miss B. Ross; "Spring time," Miss Ione Smith and Mrs. Pearl Burney; "Japanese Ladies," Mrs. I. F.

Miss Helen Peterson, "Indian Maid;" Miss Ione Smith, Smith, "Spanish Maid;" Mrs. Ruby Jones, "Goddess of Liberty;" Mesdames Chas. F. Carter and Ethel Lewis, "Red Cross Nurses." Mr. Floyd Shomo played the part of the wounded soldier for the nurses. Mr. and Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. L. A. Walker and Miss Eleanor Garcia furnished the music for the occasion. Messrs. Chas. F. Carter and I. F. Silvers were stage managers. Mesdames Carter and Silvers desire to thank all who took part on the program and helped make the affair such a grand success. S. M. T. Ceremony Last Sunday— The Annual Ceremony of the S. M. T.'s was held at the C. M. E. church last Sunday and a large congregation was present. The ladies deserve special mention for the creditable showing they made. Rev. Wm. Solly delivered the annual address and his discourse was timely and it was well received. Monday evening the closing exercises of the kindergarten and grammar school was held at the Douglas school house. Mrs. Phoebe Gardiner and her assistant, Mrs. Ardmore Jenkins had charge of the kindergarten exercises and the manner in which the little children rendered their parts on the program showed that they had been well trained and specially drilled for the occasion. The larger students of the grammar school also showed that they too, had been well drilled for the occasion. They acquitted themselves like little men and women and every parent who had a child in this school was made to feel proud of that child. Right here, we believe is the time for us to pay a compliment to the teachers who have worked so faithfully with these children the past year and succeeded in bringing about this wonderful improvement of mind and conduct. Mrs. Emma L. Clayton had charge of the program for the pupils of the grammar school. While assured of a fortune for himself, Mr. Bassett feels that his people should be given a chance to become independent, and for a short time only, this company will offer shares of stock to enterprising colored people who want to be independent and have a business of their own. The Poultry Business is one of the surest and best paying propositions in the world, especially so, when in the hands of an expert poultry man like Mr. Bassett. Better write and have us reserve a few shares of this stock for you. * "AL" Says: "If people weren't so careless about their cars, and the care they don't give them, I might be in some other line of business, for I like "action," and lots of it, and I sure get it in this garage. There is a world of Overland and Willys-Knight owners in this valley, and most of 'em know me, as a man who knows this car from tail light to radiator cap, and from wheelbase to mohair. I also know something about other cars, and I have mechanics in my shop who are experts on other makes—so don't be afraid to bring your car in no matter what make it is—we can fix it." ```markdown ``` You Can Now Trade AT PRICES QUOTED ON THE EL PASO OIL EXCHANGE AND OTHER TEXAS EXCHANGES Real Oil Market for Texas Oil Stocks Stock Will Be Listed On Our New Texas Oil Board We are now in direct wire communication with the El Paso Oil Exchange and other Texas Exchanges through our El Paso correspondent, who supplies us instantaneously with quotations just as they appear there.

Old excursion rates.—Invitation to attend the Minnesota Federation Convention of C. W. C. en route to North Dakota.—Sessions to be held in the assembly hall of the Commercial club of Grand Forks. Board, room and entertainment free to delegates. Dear Co-Workers: The time is fast approaching for the biennial meeting of the Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's clubs at Grand Forks, N. D. Are you preparing to attend? The Macedonian cry has come to us from our sisters of the northwest. Are you going to answer the call? They believe you are any they are making elaborate preparations for your reception. They are being assisted by the church, the press and the community in their endeavor to extend to you true western hospitality. The commercial club of Grand Forks has proffered the free use of their assembly hall for the period of the meetings and plans are on foot to "show us the west." In turn, they are expecting us to bring them inspiration, fresh from our club work, new to them, and a program of reconstruction which will be helpful and encouraging uplifting and progressive. They are waiting to hear from you, Answer the call by sending your name to Mrs. Bessie E. Turpin, 1007, 4th avenue, Grand Forks, N. D., for placement. They are not preparing for a thousand delegates. Remember it is not the size of the attendance which counts, but the interest, sincerity and push that will be injected into the meeting which will tell for the future advancement of those who attend and those whom we come in contact with. Let us go prepared to leave our best with them and bring away the best they have to give. Make it a meeting of reciprocity as well as reconstruction. Let your reports come as a result of hearts enlarged by the terrible catastrophe of war. The railroads are offering the old summer excursion rates so that you can continue your journey westward after the meeting. The Minnesota Federation of C. W. C., through its president, has extended a cordial invitation to us to stop at their sessions on June 25th and 26th, on our way to North Dakota.

A. club met last week with Miss Jessie Bruen at the residence of Mrs. George W. Caldwell. 233 East Jefferson street, and enjoyed a pleasant social hour. Next meeting will be with Mrs. Luther Parker at the above address. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT TO MEMBERS OF THE ARIZONA FEDERATION Following is the address of the president, Mrs. Lynn R. Carter, which she delivered to the members of the Federation at the meeting held in this city. Her address in full was as follo- "To Officers, Delegates, Members, Visitors of the Arizona Federation of Colored Women's clubs. "Time our pitiless master, ever drives his tireless steeds in their unflagging flight. "The minutes and hours speed by in never ending succession, and almost imperceptibly the present becomes the past, the morrow yesterday. 'Ere we realize it, our task is done, our duties over, and the temporary moment of rest here. And so today we find another year lies buried in the past—a year as years have been and as years will be, of joy and sorrow and sunshine and clouds. "Again your president resigns into those hands which conferred it, the high authority of her office. "In these days of rush and hurry and go, women are inclined to give but little thought to the things that are behind, only looking forward and pressing forward to the things that are before; but upon the birth of a new division of time, retrospection is pardonable—and I might say, inevitable, and we of the Arizona Federation, looking backward over the year just ending, find a record of good works and good deeds. "We have helped our country by buying Liberty Bonds, worked in Red Cross campaigns for mercy, sewed for helpless Belgiums and chief among them all, we did not forget our poor and needy here at home in our charity work. "During this fiscal year, we instituted a club at Mesa City, Arizona, known as "The Glee Club." "Though the clubs have been handicapped by the great influenza epidemic, they have fought their way bravely—showing greater strength financially and in membership. "We have tried to interest the women of our race in this great uplift work throughout the State of Arizona. "Three years ago we started a building fund and in the near future we hope to see our hopes realized. Again I will mention the fact that we were handicapped in our progress with our building fund as many of us made a sacrifice to purchase Liberty bonds, Baby bonds and War Savings Stamps, and endeavored to answer every other call of our country—that victory might be ours in the end. Our motto 'Rowing, not drifting,' was upheld. "The success of the Federation, the highest development of our organization is not dependent alone upon the body, but upon the individuals. "I can truthfully say the Arizona Federation of Colored Women's clubs know no act of retrogression. "To every member of the Executive Board, I extend my sincere thanks for their hearty co-operation and support during the year. "In conclusion, I tender my heartfelt thanks to every president, officer and member of the Federation clubs for the friendship and excellent aid given me in our every effort for the advancement of the organization. "The Past has had its reaing; the Present has its writing; the Future has its hope." MORE GREETINGS TO THE Chicago, Ill., May 19, 1919. Mrs. Lynn Ross Carter, President, Officers and Members of the Arizona Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in Convention Assembled My dear Co-Workers:— It is a high privilege that is accorded me to send to you greetings, personally and for the Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's clubs, at a time when each one, each group, each section, must be considering the gravest questions relative to reconstruction. Your club work in its sufferings, had no peculiar struggle. The whole system of organization trembled, struggled and groaned under the heavy burden which was imposed by the war. We are still struggling to recover our equilibrium and only as we get together in such assemblages as you are attending, putting forth our supreme effort in endeavor to gain normality of effort, will it be possible for us to gain our end. May God in His divine wisdom and mercy, guide you and may He give your noble Leaders, wisdom to move out in the highways and byways, feeling assured that your support is at her back. May peace, quiet and sobriety mark each session, and may you realize how deep is my regret that I cannot be with you, even as a mother regrets the separation from her children when great events transpire. Please consider well, the Northwestern and have representation at the meeting, one of the most important which will be held in the Northwest for many years to come, unasmuch as it is the beginning of the reconstruction congress and we will have much to propose along the line of welfare for every community. Again, with God's blessings on your work, I am, Joanna Snowden-Porter, Pres. By GEORGE BARR McCUTCHEON Author of "GRAUSTARK," "THE HOLLOW OF HER HAND," "THE PRINCE OF GRAUSTARK," ETC.

There's something big in this HAD HARTLEY TAXIETTE FARMER'S MAGAZINE "Bedad," Said O'Dowd, "It Beats the Devil." vhing. Mr. Barnes—something a long shot bigger than any of us suspects." "You'll find that it resolves itself into a problem for Washington to solve," said De Soto darkly. "Nothing local about it, take my word for it. These men were up to some international devilment. There'll be a stir in Washington over this, sure as anything." "What time was it that you heard the shots up at Green Fancy?" ventured Barnes. "Lord love you," cried O'Dowd, "we didn't hear a sound. Mr. Curtis, who has insomnia the worst way, poor devil, heard them and sent some one out to see what all the racket was about. The man, it seems, made such a devil of a racket when he came home with the news that the whole house was up in pajamas and peignoirs." "I think I have a slight acquaintance with the chauffeur," said Barnes. "He gave me the most thrilling motor ride I've ever experienced. Gad, I'll never forget it." "The two men looked at him, plainly perplexed. "When was all this?" inquired De Soto. "Early last evening. He picked up your latest guest at the corners, and she insisted in his driving me to the tavern before the storm broke. I've been terribly anxious about her. She must have been caught out in all that frightful—" "What's this you are saying, Mr. Barnes?" cut in De Soto, frowning. "No guest arrived at Green Fancy last evening, nor was one expected." Barnes stared. "Do you mean to say that she didn't get there, after all?" "She? A woman, was it?" demanded O'Dowd. "Bedad, if she said she was coming to Green Fancy she was spoofing you. Are you sure it was old Peter who gave you that jolly ride?" "No, I am not sure," said Barnes uneasily. "She was afoot, having walked from the station below. I met her at the corners and she asked me if I knew how far it was to Green Fancy, or something like that. Said she was going there. Then along came the automobile, rattling down this very road—an ancient Panhard driven by an old codger. She seemed to think it was all right to hop in and trust herself to him, although she'd never seen him before." "The antique Panhard fits in all right," said O'Dowd, "but I'm hanged if the woman fits at all. No such person arrived at Green Fancy last night." "Did you get a square look at the driver's face?" demanded De Soto. "It was almost too dark to see, but he was old, hatchet-faced, and spoke with an accent." "Then it couldn't have been Peter," said De Soto positively. "He's old, right enough, but he is as big as the side of a house, with a face like a full moon, and he is Yankee to his toes. By gad, Barnes, the plot thickens! A woman has been added to the mystery. Now, who the devil is she and what has become of her?" CHAPTER VI. Charity Begins Far From Home, and a Stroll in the Wildwood Follows. Mr. Rushcroft was furious when he arose at eleven o'clock on the morning after the double murder, having slept like a top through all of the commotion. He boomed all over the place, vocal castigations falling right and left on the guilty and the innocent without distinction. "I don't see how you managed to sleep through it," Barnes broke in. "You must have an unusually clear conscience, Mr. Rushcroft." "I haven't any conscience at all, sir," roared the star. "I had an unusually full stomach, that's what was the matter with me. I take oath now, sir, never to eat again as long as I live. A man who cannot govern his beastly appetite ought to defy it, if nothing else." "I gather from that remark that you omitted breakfast this morning." "Breakfast, sir? In God's name, I implore you not to refer to anything so disgusting as stewed prunes and bacon at a time like this. My mind is—" "How about luncheon? Will you join me at twelve-thirty?" "That's quite another matter," said Mr. Rushcroft readily. "Luncheon is an esthetic tribute to the physical intelligence of man, if you know what I mean. I shall be delighted to join you. "Twelve-thirty, did you say?" "It would give me great pleasure if your daughter would also grace the festal board. I think it is too bad that she has to go about in the gown she wears, Mr. Rushcroft," said Barnes. "She's much too splendid for that. I have a proposition I'd like to make to you later on. I cannot make it, however, without consulting Miss Thackeray's feelings." "My dear fellow!" beamed Rushcroft, seizing the other's hand. "One frequently reads in books about it coming like this, at first sight, but, damme, I never dreamed that it ever really happened. Count on me! She ought to leave the stage, the dear child. No more fitted to it than an Easter illy. Her place is in the home, the—" "Good Lord, I am not thinking of—" And Barnes, agast, stopped before blurting out the words that leaped to his lips. "I mean to say this is a proposition that may also affect your excellent companions, Bacon and Dillingford, as well as yourself." At twelve-thirty sharp Barnes came down from his room freshly shaved and brushed, to find not only Mr. Rushcroft and Miss Thackeray awaiting him in the office, but the Messrs. Dillfurford and Bacon as well. "I took the liberty, old fellow," said Rushercroft, addressing Barnes, "of asking my excellent co-workers to join us in our repast." "Delighted to have you with us, gentlemen," said Barnes affably. The sole topic of conversation for the first half hour was the mysterious slaying of their fellow lodgers. Mr. Rushercroft complained bitterly of the outrageous, high-handed action of the coroner and sheriff in imposing upon him and his company the same restrictions that had been applied to Barnes. They were not to leave the county until the authorities gave the word. One would have thought, to hear the star's indignant lamentations, that he and his party were in a position to depart when they pleased. It would have been difficult to imagine that he was not actually rolling in money instead of being absolutely penniless. Barnes had been immersed in his own thoughts for some time. A slight frown, as of reflection, darkened his eyes. Suddenly—perhaps impolitely—he interrupted Mr. Rushcroft's flow of eloquence. "Have you any objection, Mr. Rushcroft, to a more or less personal question concerning your own private—er—misfortunes?" he asked, leaning forward. For a moment one could have heard a pin drop. Mr. Rushcroft evidently held his breath. There could be no mistake about that. "It's rather delicate, but would you mind telling me just how much you were stuck up for by the—er—was it a writ of attachment?" "It was," said the star. "A writ of inquisition, you might as well substitute. The act of a polluted, impeccunious, parsimonious—what shall I say? Well, I will be as simple as possible—hotel keeper. Ninety-seven dollars and forty cents. For that pitiful amount he subjected me to—" "Well, that isn't so bad," said Barnes, vastly relieved. He was covertly watching Miss Thackeray's half-verted face as he ventured upon the proposition he had decided to put before them. "I am prepared and willing to advance this amount, Mr. Rushcroft, and to take your personal note as security." Rushcroft leaned back in his chair and stuck his thumbs in the armholes of his vest. He displayed no undue elation. Instead he affected profound calculations. His daughter shot a swift, searching look at the would-be Samaritan. There was a heightened color in her cheeks. "Moreover, I shall be happy to increase the amount of the loan sufficiently to cover your return at once to New York, if you so desire—by train." Barnes smiled as he added the last two words. "Extremely kind of you, my dear Barnes," said the actor, running his fingers through his hair. "Your faith in me is most gratifying. I—I really don't know what to say to you, sir." "May I inquire just how you expect to profit by this transaction, Mr Barnes?" Miss Thackeray asked steadily. He started, catching her meaning. "My dear Miss Thackeray," he exclaimed, "this transaction is solely between your father and me. I shall have no other claim to press." "I wish I could believe that," she said. "You may believe it," he assured her. "It isn't the usual course," she said quietly, and her face brightened. "You are not like most men, Mr. Beavers."

"You forget the dictatorial sheriff, Mr. Rusheroft," said Barnes. "The varlet!" barked Mr. Rusheroft. It was arranged that Dillingford and Bacon were to go to Hornville in a hired motor that afternoon, secure the judgment, pay the costs, and attend to the removal of the personal belongings of the stranded quartette from the hotel to Hart's Tavern. The younger actors stoutly refused to accept Barnes' offer to pay their board while at the Tavern. That, they declared, would be charity, and they preferred his friendship and his respect to anything of that sort. Miss Thackeray, however, was to be immediately relieved of her position as chambermaid. She was to become a paying guest. Rusheroft took the whole affair with the most noteworthy complacency. He seemed to regard it as his due, or A Rushcroft Took the Whole Affair With the Most Noteworthy Complacency. more properly speaking as if he were doing Barnes a great favor in allowing him to lend money to a person of his importance. "A thought has just come to me, my dear fellow," he remarked as they arose from table. "With the proper kind of backing I could put over one of the most stupendous things the theater has known in fifty years. I don't mind saying to you—although it's rather sub rosa—that I have written a play—a four-act drama that will pack the biggest house on Broadway to the roof for as many months as we'd care to stay. Perhaps you will allow me to talk it over with you a little later on. You will be interested. I'm sure, Egad, sir, I'll read the play to you. I'll—What ho, landlord. Have your best automobile sent around to the door as quickly as possible. A couple of my men are going to Hornville to fetch hither my—" "Just a minute," interrupted Putnam Jones, wholly unimpressed. "A man just called you up on the phone, Mr. Barnes. I told him you was entertaining royalty at lunch and couldn't be disturbed. So he asked me to have you call him up as soon as you revived. His words, not mine, Call up Mr. O'Dowd at Green Fancy. Here's the number." The mellow voice of the Irishman soon responded to Barnes' call. "I called you up to relieve your mind regarding the young woman who came last night," he said. "You observe that I say 'came.' She's quite all right, safe and sound, and no cause for uneasiness. I thought you meant that she was coming here as a guest, and so I made the very natural mistake of saying she hadn't come at all, at all. The young woman in question is Mrs. Van Dyke's maid. But, bless me soul, how was I to know she was even in existence, much less expected by train or motor or Shanks' mare? Well, she's here, so there's the end of our mystery." Barnes was slow in replying. He was doubting his own ears. It was not conceivable that an ordinary—or even an extraordinary—lady's maid could have possessed the exquisite voice and manner of his chance acquaintance of the day before, or the temerity to order that sour-faced chauffeur about as if— The chauffeur! "But I thought you said that Mr. Curtis' chauffeur was moon-faced and—" "He is, bedad," broke in Mr. O'Dowd, chuckling. "That's what deceived me entirely, and no wonder. It wasn't Peter at all, but the rapscallion washer who went after her. He was instructed to tell Peter to meet the four o'clock train, and the blockhead forgot to give the order. Bedad, what does he do but sneak out after her himself, scared out of his boots for fear of what he was to get from Peter. I had the whole story from Mrs. Van Dyke." "Well, I'm tremendously relieved," said Barnes slowly. "And so am I," said O'Dowd with conviction. "I have seen the heroine of our busted romance. She's a good-looking girl. I'm not surprised that she kept her veil down. If you were to leave it to me, though, I'd say that it's a sha to carry discretion so far as all that. You see what I mean, don't you?" His rich laugh came over the wire. "Perfectly. Thank you for letting me know. My mind is at rest. Goodby." As he hung up the receiver he said to himself, "You are a most affable, convincing chap, Mr. O'Dowd, but I don't believe a word you say. That woman is no lady's maid, and you've known all the time that she was there." At four o'clock he set out alone for a trump up the mountain road in which the two men had been shot down. His mind was quite clear. Roon and Paul were not ordinary robbers. They were, no doubt, honest men. He would have said that they were thieves bent on burglarizing Green Fancy were it not for the disclosures of Miss Thackeray and the very convincing proof that they were not shot by the same man. It was not beyond reason—indeed, it was quite probable—that they were trying to cross the border; in that event their real operations would be confined to the Canadian side of the line. He could not free himself of the suspicion that Green Fancy possessed the key to the situation. Roon and his companion could not have had the slightest interest in his movements up to the instant he encountered the young woman at the crossroads. His busy brain suddenly suffered the shock of a distinct conclusion. Was she a fellow conspirator? Was she the inside worker at Green Fancy in a well-laid plan to rife the place? Could it be possible that she was the confederate of these painstaking agents who lurked with sinister patience outside the very gates of the place called Green Fancy? His ramble carried him far beyond the spot where Roon's body was found and where young Conley had come upon the tethered horses. His eager, curious gaze swept the forest to the left of the road in search of Green Fancy. Overcome by a rash, daring impulse, he climbed over the stake and rider fence and sauntered among the big trees which so far had obscured the house from view. The trees grew very thickly on the slope, and they were unusually large. He progressed deeper into the wood. At the end of what must have been a mile he halted. There was no sign of habitation, no indication that man had ever penetrated so far into the forest. As he was on the point of retracing his steps toward the road his gaze fell upon a huge moss-covered rock less than a hundred yards away. He stared, and gradually it began to take on angles and planes and recesses of the most astounding symmetry. Under his widening gaze it was transformed into a substantial object of cubes and gables and—yes, windows. He was looking upon the strange home of the even stranger Mr. Curtis—Green Fancy. Now he understood why it was called Green Fancy. Its surroundings were no greener than itself; it seemed to melt into the foliage, to become a part of the natural landscape. Mountain ivy literally enveloped it. Exposed sections of the house were painted green; the doors were green; the leafy porches and their columns, the chimney pots, the window hangings—all were the color of the unchanging forest. And it was a place of huge dimensions, low and long and rambling. “Gad,” he said to himself, “what manner of crank is he who would bury himself like this? Of all the crazy ideas I ever—” His reflections ended there. A wom an crossed his vision; a woman strolling slowly toward him through the intricate avenues of the wildwood. CHAPTER VII. Spun-Gold Hair, Blue Eyes and Various Encounters. She was quite unaware of his presence, and yet he was directly in her path, though some distance away. Her head was bent; her men was thoughtful, her stride slow and aimless. She was slender, graceful and evidently quite tall, although she seemed a pigmy among the towering giants THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES Suddenly She Stopped and Looked Up. that attended her stroll. Her hands were thrust deep into the pocket of a white duck skirt. A glance revealed white shoes and trim ankles in blue. She wore no hat. Her hair was like spun gold, thick, wavy and shimmering in the subdued light. Suddenly she stopped and looked up. He had a full view of her face as she According to a British authority there were at least twenty different noxious gases made use of in the world war. gized about as if startled by some unexpected, even alarming sound. For a second or two he held his breath, stunned by the amazing loveliness that was revealed to him. Then she discovered him standing there. In a flash he realized that he was face to face with the stranger of the day before. He took two or three impulsive steps forward, his hand going to his hat—and then halted. Evidently his senses had decelled him. There was no smile in her eyes—and yet he could have sworn that it was there an instant before. Instead there was a level stare. "I am sorry if I startled—" he began. The figure of a man appeared as if discharged bodily from some magic tree-trunk, and stood directly in his path—a tall, rugged man in overalls was he, who held a spade in his haud and eyed him inimically. Without another glance in his direction the first and more pleasing vision turned on her heel and continued her stroll, saunting off to the right, her fair head once more bent in study, her back eloquently indifferent to the gaze that followed her. "Who do you want to see?" inquired the man with the spade. Before Barnes could reply a hearty voice accosted him from behind. He whirled and saw O'Dowd approaching, not twenty yards away. The Irishman's face was aglow with pleasure. "I knew I couldn't be mistaken in the shape of you," he cried, advancing with outstretched hand. "You've got the breadth of a dockhand in your shoulders and the trimness of a prize fighter in your waist." They shook hands. "I fear I am trespassing," said Barnes. His glance went over his shoulder as he spoke. The man with the spade had been swallowed up by the earth! He could not have vanished more quickly in any other way. Off among the trees were intermittent flashes of blue and white. "I am quite sure you are," said O'Dowd promptly but without a trace of unfriendliness in his manner. "Bedad, loving him as I do, I can't help saying that Curtis is a bally old crank. Mind ye, I'd say it to his face—I often do, for the matter of that. Of course," he went on seriously, "he is a sick man, poor devil. You see I've known him for a dozen years and more, and he likes me, though God knows why, unless it may be that I once did his son a good turn in London." "Sufficient excuse for repairation, I should say," smiled Barnes. "I introduced the lad to me only sister," said O'Dowd, "and she kept him happy for the next ten years. No doubt I also provided Mr. Curtis with three grandchildren he might never have but for my graciousness." A look of distress came into his merry eyes. "By Jove, I'd like nothing better than to ask you in to have a dish of ten—it's teatime. I'm sure—but I'd no more think of doing it than I'd consider cutting off me head. He doesn't like strangers. He—" "My dear fellow, don't distress yourself," cried Barnes heartily. "There isn't the least interest in the world why—" "You see, the poor old chap asks us up here once or twice a year—that is to say, De Soto and me—to keep his sister from filling the house up with men he can't endure. So long as we occupy the only available rooms, he argues, she can't stuff them full of objectionables. Twice a year she comes for a month, in the late fall and early spring." "Why does he continue to live in this out-of-the-world spot? He is an old man, I take it, and ill." "You wouldn't be wondering if you knew the man," said O'Dowd. "He is a scholar, a dreamer, a sufferer. He's not a very old man at that. Not more than sixty-five." "He certainly has a fanciful streak in him, building a place like that," said Barnes, looking not at the house but into the thicket above. There was no sign of the blue and white and the spun gold that still defied exclusion from his mind's eye. He had not recovered from the thrall into which the vision of loveliness plunged him. He was still a trifle dazed and distraught. "Right you are," agreed O'Dowd; "the queercest streak in the world. It's his notion of simplicity." "Green Fancy. Is that the name he gave the place or does it spring from—" "ITwas christened by me own sister, Mr. Barnes, the first time she was here, two years ago. I'll walk with you to the fence beyond if you've no objections," said O'Dowd genially, and linked his arm through that of Barnes. The latter was at once subtly aware of the fact that he was being deliberately conducted from the grounds. Moreover, he was now convinced that O'Dowd had been close upon his heels from the instant he entered them. There was something uncanny in the feeling that possessed him. Such esplonge as this signified something deep and imperative in the presence not only of O'Dowd but the jack-in-the-box gardener a few minutes earlier. His mind was still full of the lovely stranger about whom O'Dowd had so manifestly lied over the telephone. "I must ask you to apologize to the young lady on whom I blundered a few moments ago, Mr. O'Dowd. She must have been startled. Pray convey to her my solicitude and excuses." "Consider it done, my dear sir," said the Irishman. "Our most charming and seductive guest," he went on. "Bedad, of the two of you. I'll stake me head you were startled the most. Coming suddenly upon such rare loveliness is almost equivalent to being (Continued next week) Lake Erie produces more fish to the square mile than any other body of water in the world.

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 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.

BISBEE (By Miss Myrtle Threat) A dance was given last Saturday at the new clubrooms in honor of the Tenth Cavalry. Many were present, including a few guests from Naco. All enjoyed a pleasant evening. The Tenth Cavalry ball team played the C. & A. (white) of Bisbee last Sunday afternoon and won the game with a score of 8 to 6. They brought along their thirty-piece orchestra, that played some beautiful strains of music while the game was in progress. This entrenching music put the real "pep" in the Tenth Cavalry boys and there was nothing else for them to do but win the game—and they did. Mrs. White, mother of Mr. Edgar Williams, who went to Portland last fall, was taken to the hospital last week. She has been ill for some time and we hope she will soon recover. Mrs. Janie Washington gave a private picnic in her back yard last week in honor of Mrs. A. D. Russel, who will leave soon for a visit back East. A dainty picnic was served and all enjoyed the refreshments. Those present were Mesdames J. H. House, L. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Washington, Miss Ellen McHenry, little Miss Bessie Grant and Mrs. Harold Parker. Miss Lillian Grice, who has been attending school at Marshall, Teas, returned to Bisbee last week to spend the summer with her mother, Mrs. Emma Hearne. The Mothers' Day program was highly enjoyed Sunday, May 11. Much credit is due Miss Mabel Smith for preparing the pieces and training the children. Mrs. Charles Worsham beautifully decorated the hall with her art and flowers for the occasion. Ice cream and cake were served after the program.

RAY (By Archie Lewis) Mrs. A. Smith underwent a very serious operation at the Ray Con. hospital last week. She was quite ill for a few days after the operation, but is now resting easily. Her many friends hope for her a speedy recovery. The members of the Sunnyside base ball club will have a meeting next Thursday night to complete arrangements for an entertainment that will be given soon. The proceeds from the entertainment will be used to purchase uniforms and equipment. The men are practicing regularly and their initial game will be played soon. Abe Bueford and Lonnie Harris are the owners of two famous game roosters and each was boasting of the fighting ability of their respective roosters. Accordingly, a fight was arranged and pulled off last Friday. Lonnie's rooster is named Tom and Abe's rooster is named Jerry. Jerry was too much for Tom and made him take the count within a very short time. Lonnie says Tom will make a better stew than a fighter, so into the pot he will go next Sunday. Have a heart, Lonnie. There was quite a shake-up here last Wednesday night. Jim Coleman was doing the "Sh-mmy." Mr. and Mrs. J. J. McDonald and a party of Friends went on a picnic up to Box canyon last Sunday. The water is fine up there and the picnickers had quite an enjoyable time performing aquatic stunts. They took a number of baskets all laden with the delicacies of the season and, believe me, they had "some" feed. While returning to camp they encountered a large gila monster and Mr. McDonald killed him and brought him in as a souvenir. He is the largest monster we have ever seen in this section. causes a constant unrest year after year.

The church dinner given by members of the Baptist church was a great success. They realized $54. Mesdames Judge Miller and Cassie Cobb entertained with a whist party at the beautiful residence of Mrs. Miller. The entertainment was given last Thursday evening and a number of guests was present. After enjoying many interesting card games, the hostess served a delightful luncheon that was indeed appetizing and refreshing. At a late hour the guests departed, all declaring Mesdames Miller and Cobb charming entertainers. Mr. G. T. Cook, a plasterer, who came here for the purpose of doing some work on the Normal school building, left Monday evening for his home in Imperial valley. He expects to return soon. Mr. Joe Taylor is a recent arrival in the city. PRESGOTT (By Helen H. Vance) Under the direction of Mrs. Paris Tabron, the People's A. M. E.

She asks that you kindly submit all news items before Tuesday. Pone 267. TUGSON (By Rev. S. E. Newell) The voice of some of the better-thinking Negroes in the city of Tucson, county of Pima, State of Arizona, U. S. A., this goes forth as a petition to the school authorities in the above named city, county and state: We, the liberty-loving members of the Race, and those who are interested in the educational advancement of the Negro boys and girls, deem it but fitting that we call upon those in authority for consideration along the line of our school facilities. Permit us to say in the outset, we feel our inability to adequately express our thanks and appreciation to the School Board, for the past favors shown us in whatever way they may have been. We are well aware, however, that there are no favorable provisions made in the school laws for Negro children in Arizona, yet we believe that there is enough red blood in the veins of the American white people in this city to give some consideration to the spirit of the law, inasmuch as the Negro children under the present system are constantly retrograding. One of the unfortunate features is that the principal of the school is a man who the patrons and pupils are bitterly opposed to; this conditions causes a constant unrest year after year. Owing to the inadequate conditions there is a migration of Negro citizens who would prove a blessing to this city; they leave Tucson seeking better educational advantages. Believe that principal who is in charge has done his best, but has been unable to overcome these conditions, hence we are asking for a change. As you realize quite fully, we can only hope to succeed during these trying days of reconstruction in proportion as you will permit us to succeed. The following are some of the undesired existing conditions: First—The Negro child is in the need of the same equipment and favorable educational surroundings to make him a desirable citizen as is the child of any other race. Second—Satisfactory results cannot be had with 40 to 45 pupils through nine grades with only two teachers. Third—Since parents and pupils have seemingly lost interest and respect for the principal, we readily realize that better results cannot be hoped for without a change. Thanking you in advance for your consideration along this line, we are yours for the uplift of humanity. DOUGLAS (By Sgt. James Weatherly) The Tribune-of last week's issue was a "hummer," and everyone in Douglas wanted a copy Saturday morning. Why not hand in your subscription and have the paper sent to your address? The Missionary Sisters gave a delightful tea party last Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. Jones in Pirtleville. The ladies of the C. M. E. church gave a supper at the home of Mrs. J. B. Goodby last Friday evening. The proceeds were used for the benefit of the church. Mrs. J. Jackson, 1501 D avenue, who has been suffering with ptoma? poisoning, is much improved. Mrs. J. F. Laster, 617 Fifth street, returned this week from an extended visit in California. She has many nice things to say about California. The home of Srtg. and Mrs. James Weatherly has been one of sorrow the past week. First, a letter was received from Holly Springs, Miss, stating that Srtg. Weatherly's sister had passed away last Sunday morning; then the sad news came in from Nogales, Arizona, that the son of Lleut, and Mrs. Cagle had been killed. No definite information has been received here concerning the trouble which led to the killing. Lieut. Cagle left Monday for Nogales and will bring the remains here for interment in the local cemetery. The slain soldier was a private of Co. C, 25th Infantry. Mrs. S. J. Boyd, 806 Sixteenth street, received a letter from her husband, Srgt. S. J. Boyd, of San Francisco, stating that he would sail for Russia on May 24., Mrs. Boyd regrets very much that she will not be permitted to make her trip to the Philippines. Kindly give your subscription to Srgt. James Weatherly, 946 Sixteenth street. AJO (By Mrs. Myrtle Jones) Mrs. L. Williams left last week for an extended visit with relatives in the East. She will visit New Orleans, Chicago, and other points of interest. The People's Forum met last Monday evening and held a very interesting meeting. Rev. Major Jones preached a wonderful sermon Sunday. All present enjoyed the discourse. His subject was, "Trust in the Lord." Ajo is indeed proud to have the 25th Infantry stationed here. We learn that they will depart soon for another post. Mrs. Harry Henderson has been indisposed the past week. We trust she will soon recover. Friday evening Rev. Vaughn will preach a memorial sermon at the church and there will be other numbers on the program. NEW MEAT MARKET ON WASHINGTON ST. OPEN FOR BUSINESS Messrs.
