VOLUME 11. NO. 15 COLORED MAN KILLS POLICE OFFICER AND WOUNDS FIVE OTHERS (Special to the Tribune) KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 11.—A sensational shooting affray took place this Friday morning out on the Popular avenue car line, in which a negro, Lorenzo Young, shot and killed Sergt J. C. Brinkley and wounded Officers Crume and McCarthy and Chief of Detectives Hulet Smith, also a grocer and bystander. Young was chased several blocks through vacant lots and bayous before being captured and landed in jail. He was placed on an evening train and rushed to Nashville for safe keeping. The whole affair is a sad one, and while we do not condone crime in any degree, yet we trust that the law take its course, and that Lynching will not be added to the already deplorable affair. We condemn lynching as bordering on barbarism, and it is in nowise a remedy for lessening the perpetration of crime. VIEWS AND REVIEWS OF THE LABOR QUESTION (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., July 14.—Out of all the unfavorable expressions relative to the actions of the American Federation of Labor in opening its doors to the Colored laboring men, there has come one discordant note. Possibly a few of the newspapers think that but a scare for the future, but the Tampa (Fla.) Times is very uneasy over the consequences. A note from the Times is so discordant that it becomes a real screech when it says: "Ever since the dark days of reconstruction, white supremacy has been one of the cardinal points of belief with the southern white people. They are not ready to believe that belief now nor ever will be. The admission of Negro delegates is the first step toward breaking down the barrier which the whites have reared with so much care and patience since the civil war. If not protested promptly and vigorously, the color line itself will eventually be eliminated altogether, and woe be unto the south when that time comes." This is contradicted by the expression from the Cadiz, Ky., Informer, which says: There should always exist a cordial relation between the White and Colored races. One of the surest and best ways of securing it; one law and one application and one enforcement of that law. Equal civil and political equality between the two races. Exclusive privilege to none. Give everyone a square, honest deal. An equal opportunity to acquire a livelihood. DENIES THAT HE HAS NEGRO BLOOD IN HIS VEINS ```markdown ``` (By Associated Negro Press) OMAHA, Neb., July 14.—Testifying in district court in the suit of his son-in-law for annulment of marriage on the grounds of Negro blood in his veins, Douglas B. McCarry, former cashier of the Capitol Savings bank of Washington, D. C., of which John R. Lynch was president, denied, in his testimony on the witness stand, that he had Negro blood or that his father or mother were Negroes or of Negro delineation. McCarry's testimony brought to a dramatic close the trial of the suit of Francis P. Dwyer, of this city, for annulment of marriage on the grounds that his wife, Clara McCarry-Dwyer was of at least one-eighth Negro blood which, under a Nebraska statute, is sufficient for annulment, and that he was unaware of the fact until so informed by a physician following the birth of a child. Dwyer testified on the witness stand that they were married in the Catholic church in 1916 after a courtship of a year, during which time he did not see his wife's father. When informed at the birth of the baby by the doctor that the baby had colored blood, he said he left his wife, and she moved from their apartment to her parents' home. He entered the army. On returning, he filed suit for annulment. WARNING TO THE SOUTH! (Antla Constitution) "And just as sure as the sun shall rise tomorrow, if the states do not soon abandon their "utterly powerless" attitude towards the course of mob law, the federal government will step in, assert its authority and prove that IT IS NOT "utterly powerless" to safeguard law and order!" SANCTITY OF HOME MUST BE REGARDED IN ORDER TO ADVANCE SANCTITY OF HOME MUST BE REGARDED IN ORDER TO ADVANCE The Race that neglects its home life is the race that will not be reckoned with in the things that make for good. No race can rise until it regards the sanctity of the home. Neglect this and all is lost in the journey. We cannot build any institution that will be felt for good unless the home is right. This has been so in all ages of the world and it will ever be so. The home must be made pure before anything else can be purified. A corrupt tree cannot bear incorrupt fruit. This is not our teaching, but the teaching of One whose knowledge was perfect. It was handed down to us by Him who konweth all and loveth all. There are those of us who pray and work for better churches and societies. Our work has not been crowned with the success that we have hoped for. The thing for us to do now is to turn our attention to the home. If we would have everything bright, then let us clean up the home. The very atmosphere of the home must be as pure as the morning breeze before we can hope for anything in this life or in the life which is to come. The soonest we awake to this the better it will be for us. We are too careless with our homes. We allow too much that is vile to creep into the home. There are those of us who will not do wrong ourselves, but will allow the wrong doer to come into our homes and be treated with as much courtesy as any who live as we do. We have not drawn the line tight enough. It is too slack. We often say that we do our best to live as we ought and that we cannot see why some of the family go in another direction. This is easy to see. We make ourselves plum the line but we allow others who have no sense of decency to come into our homes, into our social circle, into our churches just as though they were as pure as we and those around us. This is true and we know that it is. As long as this is allowed so long we strive in vain to rise. We may educate as much as we please, but education without home training will not do. The moral fibre of the home is the main thing in character building. And character is the main thing in race building. The structure that is built of timbers taken from a pure home will stand where all else goes down. Then, let preachers, teachers and leaders turn to the home and with clean hands and pure hearts, rally the people—all of the people, until every home catch and reflect the light that comes from Him who is the Light of the World. Then will we have all things pure even as He is pure.—Ex. DR. H. A. BOYD IN EVANSTON, ILL (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., July 14.—Rev. Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the Sunday School Congress, assistant of the National Baptist Publishing Board, was in Evanston, Ill., last Sunday and spoke to an immense audience at the Zion Baptist church, Rev. E. P. Jones, D. D., pastor. He came over to Chicago and spoke at the Friendship Baptist church Sunday night, Rev. L. Drane, D. D., pastor. Both visits were in the interest of the Sunday School Congress work. Rev. Boyd's father heads the largest Negro Baptist Publishing institution in the world. During Mr. Boyd's stay in Chicago he visited the executive office of the Associated Negro Press and was entertained at luncheon by the officers. Mr. Boyd expressed great hope for the future of the Race journalism and declared not only were the people reading more than ever, but that the advertising field has increased greatly. OMAHA, Neb., July 15. — Three members, a majority of the public welfare board protesting against the appointing of a Negro woman as a member of the board to succeed Frank A. Kennedy, state labor commissioner, upon the grounds that they did not believe it possible to find a Negro woman fitted to hold the position, and that such an appointment would not be for the best interests of the Negro citizens, were over ruled by Mayor Smith and the appointment made. Mrs. Julia Hudlin, a widow and former Y. W. C. A. worker in Chicago and New York, secured the position upon the recommendation of the leading Negro citizens. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY A TOUGH NUT BUT WE CAN CRACK HIM ORGANIZATION RACE PREDUCTION CO-OPERATION AND I YOU BROWN INSIDE INFORMATION ABOUT RACE RIOT AT LONGVIEW, TEXAS INSIDE INFORMATION ABOUT RACE RIOT AT LONGVIEW, TEXAS (By Associated Negro Press) LONGVIEW, Tex., July 12.—Nearly two hundred members of the Texas National Guard from Dallas and Nacogdoches, ordered here today by Governor W. P. Hobby to prevent further clashes between whites and Negroes, were arriving tonight by train and automobiles. The trouble today occurred when the white men were waylaid and fired upon in the Negro section of Longview, where they had gone in search of F. L. Jones, a Negro school teacher, accused of causing the publication of the story in The Chicago Defender of the lynching of Lemuel Walters at Longview on June 17. The story ran that "Walters was lynched when a prominent white woman declared she loved him and that if she were in the North, she would get a divorce and marry him." The whites returned the fire of the Negroes, who were hidden in vantage points, and withdrew when their ammunition was exhausted, four of their number having suffered wounds. A general alarm was sounded and the whites, with reinforcements, returned to the scene, to find that the Negroes had dispersed. Five of the principal Negro residences were then burned by the whites. Local officials, unable to cope with the situation, called upon the Governor for aid. The situation remains quiet after a clash early today in which four white men were wounded, when a party of whites were fired upon by Negroes. Search for two alleged Negro ring-leaders continued tonight. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF THE ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS LOSES HIS MOTHER (By Associated Negro Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 11. Mrs. Rosie Lynn Mason, mother of Nahum Daniel Brescher, editor-in-chief of the Associated Negro Press, died after an extended illness at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. S. Lavinia LaRue, 1506 Asbury street, this city. Mrs. Mason was 71, was born in Fredericksburg, Va., and reared in Zanesville, Ohio. Mrs. Mason was married twice, her first husband, G. H. Brescher, a business man, died in 1909; in 1917 the deceased married William Mason. The remains were buried in Connorsville, Ind., Monday. Is your line of work a credit to yourself and will you be able to look your children in the face and profess pride in the same? PHOENIX, ARIZONA,-JULY 19, 1919 GH NUT BUT WE CAN CRACK HIM ORGANIZATION PREVIOUSLY YOU SAN FRANCISCO WILL ERECT FINE BUILDING FOR COLORED PEOPLE SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 12.—A campaign is on to raise $150,000 to erect a headquarters building for the Colored Young Men's and Women's Industrial Christian Association. A desire to provide proper quarters for returning colored soldiers and to uplift the Colored Race generally is given as the reason for the campaign by Rev. J. A. Dennis. Hotel accommodations will be a feature of the building. An industrial training department like the one founded by Booker T. Washington is included in the plan. A free employment department also will be operated. The following committee has charge of the campaign: Rev. J. A. Dennis, chairman, Rev. A. L. Lightford, W. C. Peoples, E. F. Knox, S. L. Marsh and Agnes White, secretary. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 14.—"The finest case of mass surrender I ever saw," related Private F. H. Woods, (white) 1514 E. 91st street, a former Cleveland vaudeville performer, "was in an attack by the Ninety-second (Afro American) division near Baccarat. The colored boys had gone over the top with plenty of fighting spirit. Just as we came up, I saw a husky Alabama colored soldier standing at the door of a dug out, all ready to spear the first German who came out. 'Come out Fritz' he hollered. A few Germans inside groaned a little but none dared to come out. The Negro then picked up his white handerchief, stuck it on the top of his bayonet, and pushed it in. 'Cut this up in five pieces and come out,' he called. "The Boches then all marched out, each with a strip of the handkerchief in his up-lifted hand." Raleigh, N. C.—The state board of education has elected A. T. Allan to succeed E. E. Sams as supervisor of colored normal schools, and secretary of the state board of examiners. Mr. Allen is a member of the state board of examiners. Mr. Allen is a member of examiners. Elizabeth City, N. C.—The Mt. Lebanon African Methodist church is advertised to be sold for a mortgage in debtedness of $13,000, and the colored people cannot pay the debt. RACE LEADER URGES BLACKS TO PROGRESS ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 14.—A nice crowd was present July 4th to greet Isaac Fisher, who spoke at the Pine Street department, Y. M. C. A., on the subject "Go Forward." Prof. Fisher, as naturally would be expected, handled his subject in a masterful manner throughout his discourse. He took the optimistic view of the present day conditions which confront the American Negro and urged his hearers to let nothing deter or discourage them, to but to go forward. He spoke in part as follows: "When a new law or practice of race hatred is placed on the statute books anywhere, those of us who believe in the future of the black man are going to 'speak to the people that they go forward.' When a mob burns a man at the stake and there is no governmental agency willing to give protection to our race, knowing that the same God who heard the pitiful cries of the weak and defenseless black natives in the Belgian Congo and punished Belgium for the crimes committed there is the same God today, we shall, above the screams of the tortured, raise our voice and 'speak to the people that they go forward.' If, as so many of the colored people think, our government seems to forget us now that the world's peril is over—if she seems to forget our loyalty, our patriotism, our bravery in "No Man's Land", our supreme willingness to serve her in her hour of need—we shall indeed be sad at heart, but some of us are going to stand in the valley of discouragement and 'speak to the people that they go forward'—that they go forward in education, filling the public schools, the normal and industrial schools, the colleges, the technical and the professional schools, the universities—that they go forward in industry, in skill of the hand; that they go forward in the accumulation of wealth, in home building, in law-abiding qualities, in religion; in everything that makes a people great and strong." Prof. Fisher also spoke at St. Paul A. M. E. church Monday night. The Commonwealth Fellowship club had charge of the meetings. Pine Bluff, Ark.—The Negro freight handlers of Pine Bluff have organized a branch of the American Federation of Labor, to be known as the Federal Labor Union. The union now has a membership of 5 members. Waterbury, Conn.—This famous old town is all agog over the prospects of having a Colored policeman, a kind of a byproduct of the war. The demand of the voters for such recognition is to be recognized. Negro Bravery Negro Bravery (Special to the Tribune) MISSOURI DEMOCRAT SAYS HE WILL NOT BE BOUND BY PARTY TIES St. Louis Democratic Leader Says "In the Next Election I Shall Follow Dictation of My Conscience." JEFFERSON CITY, July 14.—Captain Harry B. Hawes, St. Louis democratic political leader, member of the Missouri house of representatives, just returned from the war zone, created a sensation before the house today when he declared in his address that he will vote hereafter as he thinks best. Hawes said: "I am glad to be here because after our experiences abroad it is good to find a harmonious American body of men united in the big things that our state requires. It is such a contrast to the conditions in Europe. The affairs abroad and the thoughts in the minds of men make us a little uncertain as to our future conduct. I have always been a democrat, and I hope to remain a democrat, but in the next election I shall follow the dictates of my conscience in the things that I think this nation ought to stand for. I propose to utilize what little brain God has given me and cast my vote as the light of reason gives it to me to cast, and I believe that will be the sentiment of the American people. I would not be surprised to see old party lines cast aside and men who are today democrats tomorrow because republicans and men who are today republicans tomorrow become democrats, and I should not be surprised to see the forming of a third party. RAY (By Archie Lewis) L. S. Cates, who for the past ten years has been general manager of the Ray Consolidated Copper company, has received an appointment as assistant general manager of the Utah Copper company, the largest producing company in the world. Every one in Ray regrets the loss of Mr. Cates, still we wish him success in his new position. Two motor parties from Phoenix who, after touring the southern part of the state, were returning to the capital city, visited the colored citizens of Ray. Those composing the party were: Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Williams, Mrs. Burney, Mrs. Ullary, Mrs. McClendon, Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Stearns and daughter. They spent Friday and Saturday in Ray and were royally entertained by the residents of Sunnyside. On Friday evening they were escorted to every home in Sunnyside—sort of a trip around the world, if you please. They were quite royally entertained at the residences of Mesdames Rivers and Reed and about 12:30 a. m. Miss Inez Stewart was hostess to the party at a daintily prepared luncheon. Saturday they spent the day and evening visiting the places of interest near Ray and were entertained later by Mrs. L. H. Harris at her beautiful home in this city. They expressed themselves as much pleased with the way the people of Ray received them, and on departing Sunday afternoon declared their intention of again visiting our little city real soon. While here the party was divided as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Stearns and daughter were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Pat Rivers; Mrs. Ullary and Mrs. Burney were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Lewis; Mrs. Williams and Mrs. McClendon were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Lewis; and Mr. Williams was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Harris. Come again, folks, you're welcome. Mrs. E. A. Henderson has been quite ill the past few days, but is now improving. Mr. Pat Rivers made a flying trip to Globe last Saturday. Mrs. Frank Smith was taken suddenly ill last Sunday, but is resting easily at this writing. POWDER KING DONATES (By Associated Negro Press) WILMINGTON, Del., July 11.—Pierre S. DuPont, president of the DuPont Powder company, has created a trust fund of $2,000,000 for the remodeling and modernizing of the public schools of Delaware, outside of Wilmington, to be expended during the next four years. Four hundred thousand dollars will be applied to the improvement of schools for Negro children. 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year Rev. Chas. Savidge of People's Church Warns White People Lest the Negroes Become Supplanters OMAHA, Neb., July 13.—"Let the white race which has been dominating for hundreds of years, take care lest the black man, once his chattel and his slave, be his supplanter and victor," warned Rev. Charles W. Savidge last Sunday night in a sermon on "The Children of Ham. What Will Their Future Be?" at People's church. Rev. Mr. Savidge traced the progress of the Colored race from its origin in Ham. "The Negro was forcibly taken from Africa, his home, in the sixteenth century and enslaved in this country for 250 years. He was mistreated, oppressed, whipped, beaten, and in many cases killed. But as a people he survived all this ill-treatment. No other people ever stood such abuse and lived," said Rev. Mr. Savidge. "A generation ago, social philosophers prophesied that the Negro would disappear before the onrush of stronger races. "Today, however, the advancement of this race in the last fifty years has been the marvel of the world. "When Abraham Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation there were 4,000,000 Colored slaves in this country. Today there are 14,000,000 free Negroes. "The black race doubles every forty years; the white race every eighty years." "The white man must look out or the black man will give him a fierce run for his money. "The black race is meek. The meek man and the meek race are winners and have divine approval. "The Negro has pushed his way into every line of industry. He has just now been admitted into the American Federation of Labor." THE POULTRY BUSINESS AND ITS POSSIBILITIES (By C. D. Bassett) The poultry business is an old one, but only within the past few years have the full possibilities of the industry been realized. No one can predict the future, or even guess what great opportunities remain undeveloped as yet in this particular line. Notwithstanding the many large hatcheries throughout the United States and other countries, the price of poultry and eggs is almost prohibitive. We have in this country many large companies like the Cypress company of New York, with a 200,000-egg hatchery at one filling. These eggs are mostly the product of their 50,000 laying hens. This company employs only twelve men to care for their poultry, and yet we find the egg and poultry market in New York is from 3 to 5 cents higher than any other. California also has some large poultry companies. One company hatches 60,000 and has only 30,000 laying hens. They employ only four men to care for the plant. There also are many other poultry concerns in California, and still the price of poultry and eggs is always high. In spite of all this evidence, the general public is slow to realize the great possibilities of poultry raising. There is no other business known to man which offers such sure and large profit. Possibly it is because so few people understand the poultry business. The writer has had some valuable experience in this line and I have been called on to answer some peculiar questions concerning it. In my next article I shall confine myself to a discussion of poultry; how to start, location, in fact, everything necessary in order to succeed in this line of business. I will answer all questions about the business and give my advice free to readers of the Phoenix Tribune. Write C. D. Bassett, R. R. Box 182, Calexico, Cal.

E PURIBUS UNUM Much has been said about the late Mme. Walker, but nothing that we have read impressed us more forcibly than a recent editorial in the Christian Recorder. After stating that Madame Walker was the most remarkable colored woman the race has ever produced in America, the writer proceeds to outline the principles which characterized and governed the life of this exceptional woman. The editorial follows: "Some criticised Madame Walker because she was not 'educated' according to the schools. That was to her credit, and not against her. Had she been educated, she would never have been the remarkable woman she was. 1. "She was remarkable because she believed in her race first, last and all the time. She started a business which catered to Negroes only, and took pride in it. She bore the ridicule of the 'educated' until she succeeded, and as there is nothing that succeeds like success, ridicule turned to praise. As one who catered to Negroes her life should furnish the keynote to all Negroes in business. When we learn to seek the Negroes' needs and how to satisfy them, we will then lead them. Up to this date the man who has learned most to cater to Negroes has been the preacher, and you will always notice that the people take care of the preachers who take care of them. But our politicians, business men, social workers, et al., seem to be over-anxious to cater to others rather than their own. They seem to think it a great compliment to say 'most of my practice is white,' 'I don't have much colored trade, or 'I don't cater to colored trade, but when they come I treat them right:' But Madame Walker put it to us this way: 'My art is for my people. I have had many white people ask me to treat them, but I tell them I am not catering to white trade—just yet.' Now think of the thousands of Negro barbers who think they must cater to white people to make a living, when this woman wouldn't take whites and made millions of dollars. From a business point of view, Madame Walker would have been remarkable to have a million dollars, but to make it by catering to Negroes, makes her doubly remarkable. 2. "Have you noticed the average Negro who makes a little money? Too often he distrusts other Negroes. Nearly always his lawyer is a white man. But Madame Walker's lawyer was a young Negro, F. B. Ransom, of Indianapolis. Likewise, her doctor was a Negro; likewise her preacher was a Negro—she was a member of the A. M. E. church. The architect of her palatial home on the Hudson was a Negro. Her chief advisers were Negroes, and her highest ambition was to do something for Negroes. And she moved into a white neighborhood, not to get the association of whites, but first to have a comfortable home, and then to introduce that rich community to the best class of Negroes who were constantly coming and going as her guests. 3. "She did not spend her money for pleasure only, but she was in every good work. Her heart was that of a Christian woman who longed to do good. Read her will and you see something of her heart. We have no doubt that if we had made proper proposals, Madame Walker would have given $10,000 or $50,000 to Wilberforce rather than $500. "When we see Negroes worth $20,000, and less, forgetting God and good things, too rich to do good to their own people, we are impressed that Madama Walker was a remarkable woman. "Who does not grieve at the loss of such a woman? 4. "Madame Walker was the most remarkable woman we have had—indeed the most remarkable Negro when it comes to her grasp of modern business methods: (a) She had a great idea and did not let it get away from her—a mighty hard thing for a white woman to do, to say nothing of a Negro. (b) She learned the value of organization, and built up the most wonderful business organization Negroes have, with the possible exception of Booker Washington. She and her agents paid more to Negro newspapers than any other enterprise. 5. "Yet, knowing the value of publicity, she was able to separate from her business to a most remarkable degree. For Madame Walker, the business person, scattered more publicity than any other Negro; Madame Walker, the woman, was retiring and modest. She seldom took the center of the stage. She was able to treat the humblest man and woman in a way to make them feel better. Indeed, there are few instances, among white or black, where one came so quickly into wealth, and kept his or her head in such balance." What assurance have you to offer your children that by continuing their education they will be called upon to fill a more responsible and dignified position than some girl or boy who has not completed his education? What preparation, if any, are you making to give employment to our young graduates commensurate with their attainments? Hope is a faculty which stirs men and women to deeds, likewise there should be some hope of reward held out to our young people if we would have them continue their education. In the language of the immortal Demosthenes, I beg you to think. We repeat it: "Phoenix must and will have a colored men's branch of the Y. M. C. A. There is a crying need for such an institution in this city, and we shall be pleased beyond measure when the campaign for subscriptions begins. Our best men favor the project, but no one seems willing to take the lead. Nothing ventured, nothing have. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING AMERICA'S SUFFERING HEROES *********** (By Ernest G.

Sometimes there might be another war, and more blood will be let; You might call these colored boys again, but maybe they won't forget. It is a sin how America keeps him slaving in poverty and in strife. Mistreating these Negro heroes is the worst mistake in life. Soon you will find it sinful to butcher and to kill; Unfortunate the Negro has not woke up yet, but some sweet day he will.

July 19, 1919 COMPANY BOUGHT SOLD OR EXCHANGED Phoenix, Arizona. ARIZONA Personal, Local Personal, Local and Society News By R. L. S., Society E By R. L. S., Society Editor Mrs. Charles F. Carter of this city, who, together with her husband and Mrs. Mary E. Scott, is spending the summer in Pueblo, writes the following news item: "Mr. and Mrs. Calahway of 22½ North Second avenue entertained with a charming dinner at their beautiful home last week.

This will enable us to give employment to some of our boys and girls graduating from our schools and colleges with nothing to do now, in keeping with their educational qualifications. Mr. and Mrs. C.

Alexander of Los Angeles was the Chief Grand Menter for the Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor, whereas the name of Rev. J. J. Byers should have been inserted. Sir Alexander is Past Chief Grand, having been succeeded by Rev. Byers at the last Grand Session. Suppose that one-half the colored people of Phoenix would give their cleaning and pressing to W. J. Jones, proprietor of the Palace Tailoring company, at 419 East Washington street, and that one-third of the colored male population would order their fall and winter suits of him. Don't you know that he would be obliged to employ a bookkeeper, or clerk and that one of our young colored boys or girls would be selected to fill the position? The Lord helps those who help themselves. Stop whining about the lack of suitable employment for our high school and college graduates and come together on a fifty-fifty basis and make an opening for them. Mrs. Perry Payne and daughter, Miss Eleanor Garcia of 64 South Third street, will leave this week for Los Angeles to spend the remainder of the summer. Mr. and Mrs. I. F.

Daniels Quits Tribune Staff Mr. S. L. Daniels of Mesa, who for the past year has been the Mesa representative for the Tribune, resigned his position with this paper to accept a more lucrative one with a local concern. He is the man who put the Gem City on the map so far as the colored people are concerned, and he has been of inestimable value to this paper in various ways.

Boosters for Dodge Cars R. L. Stearns and Lewis Williams, who returned this week in two Dodge Brothers' touring cars, from a trip through southern Arizona, are enthusiastic boosters for the Dodge car. Williams stated that throughout the entire trip, which covered over 1000 miles of rough and mountainous country, his Dodge never faltered, and the only mishap was a punctured tire, caused by coming in contact with a sharp boulder in the road. Like Williams, Stearns said the Dodge is a reliable car and will take you there and bring you back, provided you fit it out with good tires. "Engine troubles, magneto and carburetor worries are unknown to owners of Dodge, cars," said Williams. In the party which made the trip with Stearns and Williams were Mesdames Stearns and daughter, Marie Williams, Zoe Burney, Arthur McClendon and Hattie L. Lullary.

After a vigorous fight for nearly a half century, the advocates of the franchise for women have secured the passage by Congress of the resolution for an amendment to be submitted to the states for ratification. A thing worth having is worth contending for. Self-respect and a common-sense knowledge that man's respect is worth having, is a girl's best protection. Try the experiment, girls! When we consider the obstacles to the Negro soldier in France—the well trained Hun in front of him, the jeers and insults of his white comrades and southern officers in his rear, and the tempting German propaganda all around him—we wonder at the excellent record he made. Speaking of democracy, we are advised that in Cleveland, Ohio, more than fifty young colored women are teaching in the public schools, many of them having only white pupils.

ARIZONA Phoenix, Arizona THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING GREEN FANCY Sprouse whispered: "I am going up Stay here. If you hear a commuter in the house, run for it. Don't wait for me. I'll probably be done for." "I'll do just as I please about running," said Barnes, and there was a deep thrill in his whisper. "Good luck God help you if they catch you." "Not even he could help me then Good-by. I'll do what I can to induce her to drop out of the window if anything goes wrong with me downstairs." A moment later he was silently scaling the wall of the house, feeling his way carefully, testing every precarious foothold, dragging himself painfully upwards by means of the most uncanny, animal-like strength and stealth. Barnes could not recall drawing a single breath from the instant the man left his side until the faintly luminous square above his head was obliterated by the black of his body as it wriggled over the ledge. We will follow Sprouse. When he crawled through the window and stood erect inside the room, he found himself confronted by a tall, shadowy figure, standing half-way between him and the door. He advanced a step or two and uttered a soft hiss of warning. "Not a sound," he whispered, drawing still nearer. "I have come four R. "Not a Sound," He Whispered. thousand miles to help you, countess. This is not the time or place to explain. We haven't a moment to waste. I need only say that I have been sent from Paris by persons you know to aid you in delivering the crown jewels into the custody of your country's minister in Paris. We must act swiftly. Tell me where they are. I will get them." "Who are you?" she whispered tensely. "My name is Theodore Sprouse. I have been loaned to your embassy by my own government. I beg of you do not ask questions now. Tell me where the prince sleeps, how I may get to his room—" "You know that he is the prince?" "And that you are his cousin." She was silent for a moment. "Not only is it impossible for you to enter his room but it is equally impossible for you to get out of this one except by the way you entered. If I thought there was the slightest chance for you to—" "Let me be the judge of that, countess. Where is his room?" "The last to the right as you leave this door—at the extreme end of the corridor. Across the hall from his room you will see an open door. A man sits in there all night long, keeping watch. You could not approach Prince Ugo's door without being seen by that watcher. "You said in your note to Barnes that the—er—something was in Curtis's study." "The prince sleeps in Mr. Curtis' room. The study adjoins it, and can only be entered from the bedroom. There is no other door. What are you doing?" "I am going to take a peep over the transom, first of all. If the coast is clear, I shall take a little stroll down the hall. Do not be alarmed. I will come back—with the things we both want. Pardon me." He sat down on the edge of the bed and removed his shoes. She watched him as if fascinated while he opened the bosom of his soft shirt and stuffed the wet shoes inside. Then he said: "You are not dressed for flight. May I suggest that while I am outside you slip on a dark skirt and coat? You cannot go far in that dressing gown. It would be in shreds before you had gone a hundred feet through the brush. If I do not return to this room inside of fifteen minutes, or if you hear sounds of a struggle, crawl through the window and go down the vines. Barnes will look out for you." "You must not fail, Theodore Sprouse," she whispered. "I must regain the jewels and the state papers. I cannot go without—" "I shall do my best," he said simply. Silently he drew a chair to the door, mounted it and, drawing himself up by his hands, poked his head through the open transom. An instant later he was on the floor again. She heard him inserting a key in the lock. Almost before she could realize that it had actually happened, the door opened slowly, cautiously, and his thin wiry figure sild through what seemed to her no more than a crack. As softly the door was closed. For a long time she stood, dazed and unbelieving, in the center of the room, staring at the door. She held her breath, listening for the shout that was so sure to come—and the shot, perhaps! A prayer formed on her lips and went volcously up to God. Suddenly she roused herself from the stupefaction that held her. With feverish haste she snatched up garments from the chair on which she had carefully placed them in anticipation of the emergency that now presented itself. A blouse (which she neglected to button), a short skirt of some dark material, a jacket, and a pair of stout walking shoes (which she failed to lace), completed the swift transformation. As she gilded to the window, she jammed the pins into a small black hat of felt. Then she peered over the ledge. She started back, stifling a cry with her hand. A man's head had almost come in contact with her own as she leaned out. A man's hand reached over and grasped the inner ledge of the casement, and then a man's face was dimly revealed to her startled gaze. CHAPTER XIV. A Flight, a Stone-Cutter's Shed, and a Voice Outside. "Why have you come up here?" She came swiftly to his side. "Thank the Lord, I made it," he whispered, breathlessly. "I came up because there was nowhere else to go. I thought I heard voices—a man and a woman speaking. They seemed to be quite close to me. Don't be alarmed, Miss Cameron. I am confident that I can—" "And now that you are here, trapped as I am, what do you purpose to do? You cannot escape. Go back before it is too late." "Is Sprouse—where is he?" "He is somewhere in the house. I was to wait until he—Oh, Mr. Barnes, I—I am terrified. You will never know the—" "Trust him," he said. "He is a marvel. We'll be safely out of here in a little while, and then it will all look simple to you. You are ready to go? Good! Sit down, do! If he doesn't return in a minute or two, I'll take a look about the house myself. I don't intend to desert him. I know this floor pretty well, and the lower one. The stairs are—" "But the stairway is closed at the bottom by a solid steel curtain. It is made to look like a panel in the wall. You are not to venture outside this room, Mr. Barnes. I forbid it. You—" "How did Sprouse get out? You said your door was locked." "He had a key. I do not know where he obtained—" "Skeleton key, such as burglars use. By Jove, what a wonderful burglar he would make! Courage, Miss Cameron! He will be here soon. Then comes the real adventure—my part of it. I didn't come here tonight to get any flashy old crown jewels. I came to take you out of—" "You—you know about the crown jewels? she murmured. Her body seemed to stiffen. "Then you know who I am?" "No. You will tell me tomorrow." "Yes, yes—tomorrow," she whispered. For some time there was silence. Both were listening intently for sounds in the hall. She leaned closer to whisper in his ear. Their shoulders touched. He wondered if she experienced the same delightful thrill that ran through his body. She told him to the man who watched across the hall from the room supposed to be occupied by Loeb the secretary, and of Sprouse's incomprehensible daring. "Where is Mr. Curtis?" he asked. Her breath fanned his cheek, her lips were close to his ear. "There is no Mr. Curtis here. He died four months ago in Florida." "I suspected as much." He did not press her for further revelations. "Sprouse should be here by this time. I must go out there and see if he requires any—" She clutched his arm frantically. "You shall do nothing of the kind. You shall not—" "Sh! What do you take me for, Miss Cameron? He may be sorely in need of help. Do you think that I would leave him to God knows what sort of fate?" "But he said positively that I was to go in case he did not return in—in fifteen minutes," she begged. "He may have been cut off and was compelled to escape from another—" "Just the same, I've got to see what has become of—" "No! No!" She arose with him, dragging at his arm. "Do not be fool-hardy. You are not skilled at—" "There is only one way to stop me, Miss Cameron. If you will come with me now—" "But I must know whether he secured the—" "Then let me go. I will find out whether he has succeeded." He was rougher than he realized in wrenching his arm free. She uttered a low moan and covered her face with her hands. Undeterred, he crossed to the door. His hand was on the knob when a door slammed violently somewhere in a distant part of the house. A hoarse shout of alarm rang out, and then the rush of heavy feet over thickly carpeted floors. Barnes acted with lightning swiftness. He sprang to the open window, half-carrying, half-dragging the girl with him. "Now for it!" he whispered. "Not a BARR McCUTCHEON second to lose. Climb upon my back, quick, and hang on for dear life." He had scrambled through the window and was lying flat across the sill. "Hurry! Don't be afraid. I am strong enough to carry you if the vines do their part." With surprising alacrity and sureness she crawled out beside him and then over his broad back, clasp- A Holding to the Ledge With One Hand, He Felt for and Clutched the Thick Vine With the Other. ing her arms around his neck. Holding to the ledge with one hand he felt for and clutched the thick vine with the other. Slowly he slid his body off of the sill and swung free by one arm. An instant later he found the lattice with the other hand and the hurried descent began. His feet touched the ground. In the twinkling of an eye he picked her up in his arms and bolted across the little grass plot into the shrubbery. She did not utter a sound. Presently he set her down. His breath was gone, his strength ex- hausted. "Can you—manage to—walk a little way?" he gasped. "Give me your hand, and follow as close to my heels as you can. Better that I should bump into things than you." Shouts were now heard, and shrill blasts on a police whistle split the air. On they stumbled, blindly, recklessly. He spared her many an injury by taking it himself. More than once she murmured sympathy when he crashed into a tree or floundered over a log. Utterly at sea, he was now guessing at the course they were taking. Whether their frantic dash was leading them toward the Tavern, or whether they were circling back to Green Fancy, he knew not. Panting, he forged onward. At last she cried out, quaveringly: "Oh, I—I can go no farther! Can't we—it is not safe to stop for a moment? My breath is—" "God bless you, yes," he exclaimed, and came to an abrupt stop. She leaned heavily against him, gasping for breath. "I haven't the faintest idea where we are, but we must be some distance from the house. We will rest a few minutes and then take it easier, more cautiously. I am sorry, but it was the only thing to do, rough as it was. "I know, I understand. I am not complaining, Mr. Barnes. You will find me ready and strong and—" "Let me think. I must try to get my bearings. Good Lord, I wish Sprouse were here. He can see in the dark. We are off 'the path, that's sure." "Do you think he escaped?" "I am sure of it. Those whistles were sounding the alarm. He may come this way. The chances are that your flight has not been discovered. Do you feel like going on? We must beat them to the Tavern. They—" "I am all right now," she said, and they were off again. Barnes now picked his way carefully and with the greatest caution. He could only pray that he was going in the right direction. An hour—but what seemed thrice as long—passed and they had not come to the edge of the forest. Her feet were beginning to drag; he could tell that by the effort she made to keep up with him. From time to time he paused to allow her to rest. "You are plucky," he once said to her. "I am afraid I could not be so plucky if you were not so strong," she sighed, and he loved the tired, whimsical little twist she put into her reply. To his dismay they came abruptly upon a region abounding in huge rocks. This was new territory to him. His heart sank. "By Jove, I—I believe we are farther away from the road than when we started. We must have been going up the slope instead of down." "In any case, Mr. Barnes," she murmured, "we have found something to sit down upon." He chuckled. "If you can be as cheerful as all that, we shan't miss the cushions," he said, and, for the first time, risked a flash of the electric torch. The survey was brief. He led her forward a few paces to a flat boulder, and there they seated themselves. "I wonder where we are," she said. "I am inclined to suspect that we are above Green Fancy, but a long way off to the right of it. Admitting that to be the case, I am afraid to re- (By Alphonso Robinson) Mrs. Joe Graham and children arrived this week from Austin, Texas. Mr. Graham, the husband and father, preceded them and had a place prepared for their reception. We are pleased to welcome this family to the Gem City. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Brown of Phoenix visited Mesa last week and were guests of Mrs. J. T. Turner on Palmer avenue. Mesdames Wooby and Peck of Phoenix were among the visitors to this city last week. The Women's Missionary society is progressing nicely. Quite a number have manifested interest in this organization and we believe it will succeed. Our best wishes are with them and their great work. The B. Y. P. U. meets every Sunday afternoon at the Baptist church and the young people of Mesa are taking a deal of interest in it. The farmers of this section have been blessed with two good rains, which means much to the crops, and they are now looking forward to the time when a third downpour will be visited upon this part of the valley. GREENVILLE. S. C., July 15. (By Associated Negro Press) Students of economic conditions in this state are deeply interested in what appears to be a movement of the Race looking towards voluntary segregation in rural communities, as well as cities and towns. It is not known whether the movement has been planned and encouraged, or whether it is coming about in the natural course of events. The people are getting together in communities of their own, and particularly is this true of those who have the ambition to own real estate. Many of the Race leaders for years have been advising the people to buy homes, and it apparently is having much effect. Greater prestige and influence is the result of these conditions in South Carolina. GIRLS IN TIGHT SKIRTS PROTEST SAFETY MIRRORS LOS ANGELES, Cal.-The little safety mirrors on cars of the Los Angeles Railway company have been attacked by the fair sex of the city and already a number of protests against the mirrors have been lodged with officials of the company. Fashion, which has decreed the tight skirt, is the real cause of the complaint, and the women declare they are embarrassed by the stare of the motormen as they climb aboard the cars. On the other hand, officials of the railway company have filed a counter-complaint, charging that the tight skirts cause undue delay of the cars. In addition, they say the motormen merely do their duty in watching the mirrors to make certain passengers are on the cars before starting. THE PERISCOPE (By Associated Negro Press) The Call of the Soul The call of the soul is expressed in a manner that is seldom seen, in a short poem written by Professor Pearson, vice-president of the Georgia State Industrial College, and reproduced in a recent issue of the Southwestern Christian Advocate. The expression is worthy of the full page devoted to displaying it by the Southwestern, and cannot be too generally read and remembered. Here it is, with the title: Voice of the Negro Soldier When I return from foreign shade and shore, My native land with joy behold once more, If I have been a soldier true and brave, Risked limb and life my country dear to save. Yea, nations all from autocratic greed That they be wholly free in state and creed— While Father, Mother made and conserved food And war bonds bought in loyal, cheerful mood— I will not ask for houses, favors, praise, As we resume the toil and peace of former days. But that you lift the cursed racial ban. Grant me the right of any other man. A London dispatch says that King George consented to the renunciation by "Princess Pat' of her title of princess on the occasion of her recent marriage. An interesting bit of nonsense, eh? RICHMOND, Va., July 15.—Doctor Chris Baker, for more than fifty years connected with the medical college of Virginia died recently, after a long illness. Baker had charge of the anatomical department. He was known and respected by every man who attended the college. July 19, 1919 Bombing the Bombers There is nothing to gloat about in the amazing national and international unrest, and the rioting, bombing and lynching going on in our fair land. It is a pity and a shame. However, the leaps and bounds with which the state of affairs is flaming up, may serve to stir the nation in such a way that our own troubles and misfortunes will be looked after. We have pleaded, and denounced, implored and warned, but our voices have seemingly passed into the vapor of oblivion. We are all against anarchy and lawlessness of any kind. der the greatest provocation. The virtue of our patience is one of the amazing chapters of American history. But every time one of us is lynched or mobbed, they who do it are only grinding the nation a little more closely to that uncivilized and disgraceful state called anarchy. The whole business of destruction must be stopped. Woman's Suffrage Woman's suffrage, as a national privilege, is now put up to the various legislatures to vote on the amendment, the 18th to the United States Constitution, in order to make the privilege lawful. The South is against suffrage, for the principal reason that a clear and definite way has not been found to completely eliminate the women of our group. The South is frank about it, and one of the prominent senator's in a recent address declared that while they were able to get away with disfranchising the men, he was not so sure that they could repeat in disfranchising the women. "Therefore," he declared, "it is best to let well enough alone." The South, undoubtedly, is most presumptuous to think that forever and a day, it will be permitted to hold the yoke of oppression against the majority of its population. The time is most certain of coming when the women and the men of the Negro race will have the right to vote, and have their votes properly counted. The white South's claim to "superiority" must be met in a square, and not crooked, contest. Upon such a basis we are willing to stake our all, and if they are not, they are either cowards or poor sports, or both. CHICAGO, July 15.—On the occasion of the Ninth Annual session of the Pan-Missouri Medical Association, which convened in Kansas City, Mo., last month, Dr. Daniel H. Williams of this city was presented with a loving cup, sterling silver, and standing more than two feet high. It bears this inscription: "Presented to Dr. Daniel H. Williams, A. M., M. D., F. A. C. S., by the Pan-Missouri Medical Association as an expression of appreciation in advancing the medical profession in this state and nation. Ninth annual session, June, 1919, Kansas City, Mo. Officers, Dr. J. A. Crossland, president; Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins, secretary; Dr. J. F. Shannon, treasurer; Dr. E. C. Bunch, president Kansas Citl Medical Society." The doctors of Missouri and Oklahoma are among the most progressive of the entire country. NEW YORK, N. Y., July. 15.—The following appeared editorially in the New York Call, one of the great dailies of this city. It is regarded as one of the worst editorials ever made in America by a daily newspaper: "If the Negroes in the slave states should attempt to resist the flendish violence and cruelty of their oppressors by violence and cruelty, it would be like gambling with a gambler to put him out of business. It is of no use to tell the Negro that his remedy is in the ballot box. He cannot vote. But if the Negroes were in one big union, and 100 per cent organized, and would not do another tap of work unless upon a guarantee of decent treatment, the whole of the idle, doleless, shiftless, incompetent South would be at their mercy. Put the idea into the mind of every Negro that you meet." STAMFORD, Conn., July 15.—An administer has just been asked for the estate of Miss Charlotte C. Wardlow, a spinster, who died at the State Hospital for Insane last September. Miss Wardlow executed a will leaving all her property to Wm. T. Harris, her Negro servant. The estate was said to be worth $500,000. In some' mysterious manner much of the property has disappeared, and the authorities are investigating. GREENVILLE, S. C., July 15.—Catering to the demands of the Race for better accommodations among local theaters, H. J. Martin and Harry Goldstein have just completed the Palace Theatre, a beautiful motion picture theatre for exclusive colored patronage. DETROIT, Mich., July 15—Dunbar Memorial hospital, 212 Frederick Avenue, with 30 beds, has been opened here with a staff of 17 physicians of the Race. Determination is the key to Opportunity.
