Phoenix Protective League And Local Branch N. A. A. C. P. Consolidate $500,000 Corporation Formed By Colored Men PHOENIX VOLUME II. NO.19 PROTECTIVE LEAGUE ABSORBED BY LOCAL BRANCH N. A. A. C. P. Monday night the members of the Phoenix Protective League met at Douglas school and voted to disband the League and join the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Both organizations were working for one and the same purpose, i.e., the advancement of the race, and it was argued that one strong organization could do more good than two or three small ones. Furthermore, the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has the support of the main association, which represents a total membership of more than 70,000. This merger brings together all law-abiding colored citizens of this community and is considered one of the wisest movements ever made by the citizens of Phoenix. Representative business men head the organization and it bids fair to become a strong factor for good in this section. It starts out with a large member ship and a fat treasury—two things that mean success to any organization if properly conducted. We are pleased to see our people come together and trust that much good will result from this combination of forces. In union there is strength. Let each of us strive to make the Phoenix branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People an organization of which we may feel justly proud and one that will reflect credit upon the race both, here and elsewhere. The meetings of the Association will be held the first Tuesday in each month at the Douglas school building. The Phoenix Protective League, the defunct organization, was started only a few months ago and has done much to advance the interests of our people and bring about a, more friendly relation between the two races. Upon recommendation of the League, several worthy members of the race have been placed in responsible positions and a number of important measures were pending action before the body. This work will be taken up by the Association and pushed to a successful conclusion. Even greater things than those accomplished by the League will be expected of this strong organization. Excelsior is the watchword of the Association and by co-operation, push, zeal, enthusiasm and down-right hard work, it will strive to lift the race to a higher plane. This Lady Adopted A Little Colored Child By Mistake (By Associated Negro Press) ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 4.—Mrs. Marion Blake, who said she lived in Albany, adopted a two weeks' orphan laby in New York yesterday. At the same time she left in the office of Dr. Mary Halton at 17 East Thirty-eighth street a five months' old Negro baby which she said she had legally adopted when it was but a few days old. At the time she did not know the child had Negro blood in its veins and she was heartbroken when she learned the real fact and knew that she would have to part with the little one, to whom she had become greatly attached. The story reads more fiction-like than real facts. Dr. Halton advertised Tuesday in a New York paper that a home was wanted for an infant girl, two weeks old. The parents died of pneumonia a few days after the child's birth. There were no relatives. Dr. Halton made herself responsible for the little orphan. When the doctor arrived at her office, a woman who said she was Mrs. Marion Blake, was waiting. She appeared to be troubled. In her arms she carried a baby whose skin was dark. "I am a widow of comfortable means," she said, "and live with my mother in Altany. For years I had one servant girl. A year ago she married a soldier, but came back to us when he sailed for France. "A few days before she gave birth to a child, she received word her husband died in a French hospital. Liberty And Equality For Caucasians Only Says Eminent Journalist (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 4.—The editor of the Messenger Magazine held up by Postmaster General Burleson, held a meeting of protest in this city at which Rev. Norman Thomas, editor of the World Tomorrow, told the gathering that he spoke to them out of a sense of shame for his country and race. He said that the underlying hypocrisy which has lamentably characterized this 'democracy' might be traced to its attitude through two centuries toward the Negro. "We got away to a bad start," said Thomas. "We whispered in asides that the doctrines of 'liberty and equality' went only for white foils." Thomas said it was part of the capitalist program continually to fan the fires of race hatred. This, he said, has made possible the exploitation of "poor whites" in the cotton mills of the South. Lieut. M. Coulson, member of the Messenger staff, who returned recently from France with the Bison Division, apologized for appearing before the meeting in "the uniform of that strong arm of capitalism—the army." There are, he said, 15,000 "disillusioned Negro soldiers who went abroad to fight for the perpetuation of democracy and returned to find that it had disappeared completely from their home." A REPRESENTATIVE MEETING TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 4.—Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Jews, Caucasians and Negroes were represented at the meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, held at the First Congregational church at Division avenue and South J street. William Pickens, dean of Morgan College of Baltimore, the principal speaker, and County Prosecuting Attorney W. D. Askren presided at the meeting. The shock killed her. She died as the child was born. For years I had wanted to adopt a child and I took her baby. 'The baby was small and plump, reddish, as new-born infants usually are, and had bright, pretty brown eyes. I adopted her legally and had her christened "Bartara." The loves of both my mother and myself were glorified by the advent of the little orphan. Every day found the tiny mite occupying more and more room in our hearts. "It was when she was three months old that we first noticed that her skin seemed to be growing darker each week. Neither my mother nor myself put our fear into words, however, until the baby was four months old. "Finally, I took her to a hospital for an examination; I had to go home and tell my mother that Barbara was a colored baby. "The last month has been one of agony. She is five months old now, and I realized that sooner or later I must give her up. It would eventually bring unhappiness to all concerned and the most unhappiness of all to herself. "When I read that you had an infant girl for adoption, I thought perhaps if I had another baby near me it would be easier to part with mine." Little Barbara was passed from the arms of her foster-mother to Dr. Halton. Mrs. Blake sobbed as she said: "I can't see her again." She turned her head away to gaze from a window with eyes that could not see. Then into the empty arms of Mrs. Blake the doctor quietly placed the tiny unnamed white child. Long minutes passed before the "mother" looked at the dainty little bundle in her arms. Tears fell silently on the babe's white dress. At last the woman gazed reluctantly upon the wee face, snuggled against her heart, and into the blue eyes of her own race she smiled through her tears. Dr. Halton is concerned today about Barbara. That the drama may end happily for all, little 'Bab,' too, must find a home, Dr. Halton said. "Somewhere in New York there must be good Colored people who want her. I want to find a good home for her with her own people." ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY SOUTHERN BLACKS CAN NOW PURCHASE TICKETS FOR NORTH (Special to the Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—For some weeks the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, both through its New York headquarters and through its Cleveland Branch, of which Mr. Harry E. Davis is Chairman of the Legal Committee, has been carrying on correspondence with the United States Railroad Administration in regard to the refusal of their officers to sell prepaid tickets from points south. The matter was first brought to the attention of the Association when the United States railway ticket office at Cleveland, Ohio, refused to sell to the Rev. H. C. Bailey, pastor of the Antioch Baptist church of that city, a ticket from Madison, Ala., to Cleveland, which Mr. Bailey desired to send to his daughter, Mrs. Lottie Beadle. The clerk refused to sell Mr. Bailey the ticket, saying that an order had been issued by the director general against such practice on the ground that it was "encouraging labor to come North." A letter of inquiry was sent from National Headquarters to Director General Hines, and at the same time Mr. Davis, chairman of the Legal Committee of the Cleveland branch, wrote Senator Warren G. Harding and Congressman H. I. Emerson regarding the matter. Through the combined efforts of the national office, the Cleveland branch, Mr. Harding and Mr. Emerson, the rule has been abrogated and beginning August 1 prepaid tickets can be obtained from any ticket office. Following is a copy of a letter from Mr. Davis: July 29, 1919. Mr. John R. Shillady, Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Dear Sir: I have just been advised by Senator Harding that the rule regarding the sale of prepaid tickets from points South, which has been in force for some time, has been abrogated by the U. S. Railroad Administration. Effective: August 1st, 1919. very truly, Signed) HARRY E. DAVIS, Chairman, Legal Committee, Cleveland Branch, N. A. A. C. P. A WOMAN'S PLAN TO PUT A STOP TO MOB VIOLENCE A WOMAN'S PLAN TO PUT A STOP TO MOB VIOLENCE (By Associated Negro Press) NEWARK, N. J., Aug. 4.—"Nothing was ever accomplished without blood-shed, and it may be necessary that a few should die to serve the nation." That sentiment, expressed by the Rev. Florence Randolph, Jersey City, president, was given long applause at the opening of the convention of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, at the Mt. Zion Baptist church yesterday. She continued: "If every time a colored man is lynched, several other colored men would learn to die with him, and carry as many white men as possible with him—above or below, whichever place they might go—the white people of the South would step their lynchings. They ought to take company along, whichever way they go. It's going to happen. There's to be bloodshed. The country must be prepared for it. And out of it all we're going to get our civil rights." The discussion started when W. W. Asby, executive secretary of the Newark Urban League, spoke of the Washington riots. He said: "I deplore mob violence. The spirit of vandalism should be changed to other channels, but when one crowd has always been kicked around, I can't help endorsing it. The Negroes have learned that by getting together they can terrify others. So far, I know they came out about even in the thing, anyway." "Conditions have been getting PHOENIX, ARIZONA, AUGUST 9, 1919 (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Illinois, July 28.-The scene of riot has shifted from Washington, the nation's capital, to Chicago, America's greatest cosmopolitan city, and regarded everywhere as the world's greatest center of race progress. Sunday afternoon, a colored lad was bathing in Lake Michigan, near the beach at East 29th street. The day was hot and tens of thousands of Chicago's population were seeking relief from the heat in the cooling waters of Lake Michigan. This lad was on a raft and a white ruffian through a stone and knocked him into the water, where he drowned before being rescued. The attention of white policemen was immediately called to the ruffian, but the policeman refused to arrest the man, whereupon the crowd became angered and in a short time began to "clean up" the place. The man accused of the crime is Augusta Strauber. Finally he was arrested by two Colored detectives, Middleton and Scott. The news of the crime scattered like wildfire. Hundreds rushed from the beath in their bathing costumes, hurrying to places of shelter, while others hurried to their nearby homes for revolvers and rifles. And in less than an hour, there was a general battle, in which more than one hundred whites were injured by weapons of various kinds. The news of the strife spread to every section of the Southside and at several points such as 31st and State, 35th and State, 39th and State, thousands of people gathered and talked in low tones over the situation. Between sunset Sunday night and early Monday morning, there were more than a dozen lights in which more than two hundred were injured, some fatally, the majority of them being white, and a score of the policemen. Hundreds of police reserves and four hundred mounted police were called out Sunday night to quell the disturbance. Chief of Police Garrieet, his assistant, Alcock, Mayor Thompson and leading organizations of people of both races are doing all possible to restore peace. Much damage has been done by both races to street cars; colored men and women beating up white people on cars running through the Southside district, while whites have been furious in their treatment of Colored people on street cars running through Wentworth avenue, and Halsted street, and on cross lines. Mayor Thompson declared conditions are very serious and must be carefully studied to get the cause of the trouble and the means of correcting it at once. It is claimed by some that more than two thousand Springfield rifles with considerable ammunition are in the hands of the colored people on the Southside. This statement is denied by Alderman R. R. Jackson, colored, and others. However, it is well known that the majority of the people are strongly armed. worse," the president commented. "We thought that after the war, they might get better, but they didn't. Why, they lynched three men in one Southern town as a celebration for the signing of the armistice." The Rev. Harvey Onque said, "If bloody lynchings do not stop, the United States is gone, and gone forever." Mrs. M. E Lawton, president of the New York Colored Women's Clubs, said: "The federal government regulated our food and could even go in and take our sons out to fight without leave or license. For what? Democracy? No, hypocrisy. That would be nearer it. "Our own country was the most barbarous of all the civilized countries. What did the Germans have on us? They did things on a larger scale, that's all. The handwriting on the wall can be seen now. "I am thankful to say that our Colored boys all came back to marry our own Colored girls. A good many thought they would fall over themselves to get the French girls. Well, they can get anything in their own race from alaktaster to ebony. They don't have to go outside for their wives." "The white people think we want social equality. We don't. We're content with our own society. We don't want white people to invite us into tehir homes, because we're not going to invite them into ours." TRIBUNE GEORGIA RACE MEN LAUNCH $500,000 BUSINESS CONCERN SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 4.—A Negro business corporation capitalized at half a million dollars, has just been organized by men prominent in the affairs of the Wage Earners Savings Bank and allied interests of Savannah, Ga. A merger will be effected at once by which the big corporation will absorb the holdings of smaller institutions at interest. The new corporation will erect a modern hotel, theatre and department store in a single great structure, which with the present splendid bank building, will occupy the entire block on West Broad street opposite the Union Station, between Alice and Wayne streets. With the acquisition this week of the remaining portion of the block containing five stores at a cost of $75,000.00, to the total present valuation of the property of the Wage Earners interests approximates $250,000.00. The modern fire-proof hotel of one hundred rooms, with its dining rooms, parlor and public service appointments, together with the department store building, which will adjoin it immediately south, will cost approximately $200,000.00 The new Theatre · Auditorium, which will stand at the most commanding point of the big property at the southeast corner of West Broad and Wayne streets, will eclipse all former projects of its kind in quality, architectural design and equipment. It is expected to embody the very latest ideas in every feature of its construction and design and its furnishings and dramatic conveniences will make it the peer of playhouses south of Washington. The building and its appointments will cost about $100,000.00. The promoters are already associated and interested in the big Theatrical Syndicate recently launched by Brown and Stevens, bankers of Philadelphia, and the Savannah playhouse will be put upon the Syndicate's circuit and will feature all prominent Negro stage stars of the country, including the famous Lafayette Players and noted vaudeville actors. The Department Store, which will be one of the principals in the big group, will embrace several lines of the mercantile business, including dry goods, fancy groceries, shoes and furniture departments, besides a drug store and soda fountain. As the property stands today, there are eight stores embracing two laundries, a grocery store, a restaurant, a jewelry store, a fruit store and real estate office and apartments, used as a hotel, besides the new bank building erected six years ago. The new buildings will be started as soon as present pending leases expire. It is planned to have the completed structure conform in architectural design to the present beautiful bank building of buff brick and stone, and the entire structure will present a single symmetrical unit in plan and purpose. It is stated by President L. E. Williams, of the Wage Earners Savings Bank, and promoter, that money for financing the big deal represents capital of Savannah Negroes and is already in sight. Several prominent Negroes have subscribed for blocks of stock in $5,000.00 and $10,000.00 lots. The Wage Earners' Savings Bank, with assets of a million dollars, is the largest Negro banking institution in the world. It began twenty years ago with a capital of $102.00, and has paid an annual dividend of 12 per cent for the past fifteen years. At public outtery several weeks ago the stock of this bank, with a par value of $10.00 per share, brought $26.00 per share, representing a premium of 160 per cent. Its officers and directors are of that splendid line of self-made Negro business men who are doing the pioneer service of Negro business in the South. It has over 15,000 depositors. The bank has made large investments in modern residence and business real estate in New York, Wash- Great Opportunity For Young Men And Women Of The Race Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, has issued an appeal in a recent number of his publication, asking for four or five young men or women to join the staff of the Recorder, to learn the newspaper business. This leads us to venture the suggestion that there is a very wide and undeveloped field among our people, not only for supporting papers which are already established and making them stronger, but also opportunities for enterprising and ambitions young men and women of the race to get on the staffs of these papers, begin humbly and learn the business from the bottom up. Certainly, a very permanent good can come from such a move as has been started by Dr. Wright, if it should be extended to other papers. It would be a privilege for any young man or woman to work with Dr. Wright or such men as Dr. Robert E. Jones, Messrs. Abbott and Anderson, of the Defender; Mr. B. J. Davis of the Independent; Mr. Young, of the Journal and Guide; Messrs. Lester Walton and James W. Johnson of the New York Age, and many other capable and efficient editors of successful Negro weeklies. Unless there is some well directed effort to replace the ranks of the present Negro editors with promising and intelligent material, we shall have a very depressing outlook for the future. Within the past few years schools of journalism for young white men and women have sprung up all over the country. They are turning out each year an army of trained young people who have prepared themselves to assume the responsibilities leading up to the place of the present editors as well as helping the present organizations extend their influence and usefulness. Nothing definite, however, is being done to prepare the Negro boy for the same responsibilities on his papers. It is unfortunate, of course, that the colored papers are unable to offer very inviting salaries to such young men and women, but to those who are sincerely ambitious to attain success as newspaper writers they should be willing to secure other work and do their studying and writing in the evenings and at ciff-hours. Certainly wherever there is a real ambition to achieve success in this line, some way will be found to seize whatever opportunities may be given them to work side by side with successful editors. Another fact which would seem to encourage this movement: It appears to us that we, as a race, are undoubtedly achieving more real progress than is being recorded in the daily, weekly and monthly papers, and the loss which we sustain by not having the individual achievements of the race recorded can hardly be estimated. Something can be done in a very definite and positive way to preserve these achievements of our race and to give them to the world. This fact alone should increase the number of young men and women each year who associate themselves with successful Negro papers. Of course, we understand that every individual is not blessed with an "ear for news," but training, contact, and careful observation of methods employed by successful newspaper men will certainly help many of our young people to develop into writers of promise. Dr. Wright's offer impresses us as being a very valuable and very worthwhile suggestion.

Mitchell Palmer, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, the governors of seven states, including Governor A. H. Roberts of Tennessee, every living ex-attorney general of the United States, the heads of California, Illinois, Princeton, Western Reserve, Fisk and Vanderbilt universities, Charles W. Eliot, Elihu Root, Charles Evans Hughes, J. R. Bingham of Mississippi, and Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas. The address to the nation is an outcome of the National Conference on Lynching which was held in New York city May 5 and 6 last. "The people of the United States suffer justly under the grievous charge that they continue to tolerate mob murder," says the address. "In the year 1918 no less than 67 persons were done to death without trial or any process of law, having been denied the right to a day in court accorded by the federal and state constitutions to all citizens. "It is well known that the innocent with the guilty suffer the cruel inflictions of mob violence. Mobs have even invaded court rooms and prisons to seize and murder prisoners whose punishment had already been fixed. Early in 1919, a hospital was invaded by a mob, and the attack resulted in death from shock of a patient that day operated upon. "Patriotic citizens throughout the country feel the shame which lynchings cast upon the nation, but they have assumed partial responsibility for this shame by their silence and their acquiescence. The time has now come when citizens of the United States can no longer contemplate without protest the setting at nought of the fundamental principles upon which their citizenship is based. "The undersigned, therefore, as citizens of the United States, without sectional or party bias, with the interest only of the Republic at heart, urge all public-spirited men and women to oppose with all their power the recurrence of the crime and the shame of mob murder; they urge the governors of the several states to do all that is possible to prevent and punish lynching; they pledge their support to the officers of the law who, in the face of mob excitement, discharge their duties; and they urge upon the Congress of the United States nation-wide investigation of lynching and mob murder to the end that means may be found to end this scourge." Among the southern signers of the address are Charles J. Bonaparte of Maryland, former attorney general of the United States; George M. Bailey, editor of the Houston Post; William M. Hunley of Lexington, Va., secretary Southern Race Commission; William S. Sutton, dean of department of education of the University of Texas. Among the signers from New York are the editors of the Evening Post, the Independent, the Public, the New York Age, the New Republic, the Nation, the Survey, the Crisis, the publisher of the New York Times, and the presidents of the Bar and Merchants' associations. Thomas E. Campbell, governor of Arizona, is one of the western signers of the address. TEXAS DOESN'T WANT HIM LONGVIEW, Tex.—No effort will be made by Gregg county authorities, it was said today, to bring to Texas Dr. C. P. Davis, Negro, who surrendered to authorities at Topeka, Kansas, in connection with the race trouble here two weeks ago.

The Chicago race riots are over and we trust that there may be no recurrence of them anywhere in the country. The Chicago trouble seems to have been something more than a color riot—not an outbreak between Negroes and white American citizens, but one between Negroes of the lower class and white foreigners of an equally low class. Such a thing could not break out in many cities. It is probable, though, when the lower classes of both races are in juxtaposition as they were in the vicinity of the Chicago stock yards, such outbreaks may be expected. We have had many such race riots in this country between white Americans and white foreigners and always it was shown that the original riots, both Americans and foreigners, belonged to the same social stratum, which was a pretty low one. Naturally, there should be no conflict between the American white and the Negro. The well ordered of both races tread different paths. They may run parallel, but they should not impinge. The white may, if he chooses, feel a sense of superiority, but he need not offensively assert it. The Negro admits the superiority of the white's opportunities which have left him at this stage superior. But the Negro has come far and swiftly in a generation and a half from the depths of slavery and ignorance and he looks forward with a confidence to a time when he will catch up with the white. He knows that that is not a matter of years or even of a generation and he is willing to wait. As long as both white and Negro each knows his place and knows that his intrusion upon the other will be resented, there will be no trouble between them, and a good way to avoid trouble is for each to refrain from discussion of their racial peculiarities. A good thing not to talk about in mixed companies of Negroes and whites is the race riot and a good thing not to dwell upon is the difference between the two races. A good thing not to do is to "start something."—Arizona Republican. The above editorial from one of Arizona's leading daily newspapers has aroused favorable comment among some of our leading colored citizens. They seem to think it strikes the nail squarely upon the head. Perhaps it does, but we view the situation in a different light. However, we shall be guided by the advice of the eminent journalist and refrain from further discussion of the matter. We agree with the writer when he says: "The white may, if he chooses, feel a sense of superiority, but he need not offensively assert it."

More important than the action of the authorities in quelling race riots is the attitude of the individual in preventing them. The country is questionably confronted with a dangerous situation. There is reason to believe that the race riots in Chicago and Washington are part of the deliberate plan to promote trouble in this country. Of course where rioting does break out, the rioters of whatever race or color should be handled with impartial severity. The man who takes part in mob activity is a menace to the public safety, whichever side he represents. But much can be done to prevent the spread of racial feelings if individuals will preserve a fair attitude of mind and refrain in their homes and in public from 'excited or exciting speech.' Racial antipathy can never be swept away, but it need not degenerate into race riots. It is possible for a man who himself would abhor rioting or mob rule to precipitate it by expressing violent sentiments in the hearing of the man who tends to be a disturber. It is up to the better class of individuals of all races to hold in check their own antipathies, to inspire by precept and example those less apt to exercise self-control.

In the words of Sir Sid of Mutt and Jeff fame, we will add that the above is "Quite so, quite." (By Associated Negro Press) BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 4.—When residents of orderly communities read of a lynching in some remote and sparsely settled district, their repre-ension of mob law is apt to be accompanied by a snug sense of self-congratulation, to the effect that nothing of the kind can ever happen to them. Yet this self-complacent notion, at once egotistic and hypocritical, has time and again been discounted by terrible outbreaks of mob violence in communities which call themselves enlightened, and are fond of posing in the limelight as paragons of civilization, law and order. The race riots which have broken forth in the city of Washington should be an admonition to all localities, that no city, no place, is exempt from the possibility of mobs, when mobs are able to gather headway in any part of the United States.

It has the characteristic of being able to make long jumps, and suddenly to appear where it is not expected. To put an end to mobs, the individual citizen must get rid of the habit of asking consciously or subconsciously the question, "Am I my brother's keeper?" A lynching bee in the most obscure district is a direct menace to citizenship, safety and morals, in every section and locality in the United States. RACE RIOT IN OLD VIRGINIA (By Associated Negro Press) NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 4.-The opening of a week of festivities to celebrate the homecoming of Negro troops was marked by race riots last night in which six persons, including a detective, were shot. One was killed. Police reserves and a detachment of sailors from the naval base were called out to guell the disturbance. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING (Special Wire Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Aug. 4.—What is hoped may be an everlasting flag of truce, has been raised by the "Race War in Chicago." It was a war as deadly in scope and purposes as any ever fought. The "Song of Hate" was never more bitterly rendered on either side, but while the entire community gets the discredit, the singing on both sides has been by the minority and not the majority. And to continue, the whole thing has been a series of racking discords. Many things have been learned, and much should be profited from it, both for Chicago and every other city in the nation. Every record shows the indisputable fact that the whites, both in deaths and wounded, fared somewhat worse than the Colored people. It demonstrates beyond question a "do or die" spirit on the part of the blacks, which is by no means pleasant to contemplate, if subjects of racial friction are not smoothed out. While the battle raged, it was a fifty-fifty proposition absolutely, in the districts and the so-called "Black Belt." No black face had a ghost of a chance in the white district, and by the same token no white face had a chance in the belt. There was no discrimination on either side, in this respect. So serious did conditions become, that after the fourth day, the people in the "Black Belt" found themselves without food. Union drivers, white, refused to go beyond the "dead line," speaking literally, indeed. At last, a plan was worked out by which food in great trucks was taken to certain appointed districts by whites, and then driven on through by Colored chauffuers. For the first time in the history of Chicago, a Colored man in the great business "Loop District," was an actual novelty, gazed upon with kindness, credulity, hatred or fear, according to the people passed. Dozens were run, at least three murdered, and a number beaten up. Never before had the "color of a man's skin" played such an important part in locomotion. There is an amusingly interesting condition with reference to this. The real light Colored person had both his advantages and disadvantages. There are numbers of instances where light Colored people went where they desired in the "Loop" without molestation, but as soon as they attempted to go into the "Belt" their lives were in peril. The patrol wagon, and big covered motor trucks were used to transfer hundreds of Colored workers to their work. More than 1,500 men and women are employed in the main postoffice, and Postmaster Carlisle threatened to put in a call for federal troops if the mails were interfered with to any serious extent. The street car strike in Chicago added to the general confusion, although the car men did not resort to violence in their efforts to reach their demands. The attitude of the police officers and the public officials is one that has caused considerable comment. Mayor Thompson and Gov. Lowden each were on the job constantly, but it is claimed by many that politics entered into the delay of ordering troops into action before the fourth day of the riot. Governor Lowden saw several Colored men chased through the business district from the windows of his hotel, the Blackstone on Michigan Boulevard. From many sources It is claimed that the police failed to give the proper protection to Colored people, and that they did not arrest whites who were known to be "gun toting" with the same alacrity that they did Negroes. Many of the police, however, were courteous and vigilant. The Colored policemen, of which there are about 200 in Chicago, and the Colored detectives, rendered valiant service, and proved their ability to cope with dangerous and delicate situations in a manner that reflects great credit. There has been no criticism with reference to the conduct of the militia. The daily newspapers have played an important part with reference to the quelling of the riot. There are In Chicago six leading English speaking daily newspapers. All of them devoted much space to the news of the riot, but the Chicago Herald and Examiner, Chicago American, owned by William Randolph Hearst, and the Chicago Daily News, owned by Victor Lawson, reached the highest plane of untarnished and unvarnished justice in their news, cartoons and editorials. The Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Evening Post, both had editorials advocating the segregation of the races, either by impression or fact. Added to this was a statement issued by B. F. Mosley, an attorney disbarred for life, in which he claimed that the white man is the superior of the Negro, and this is a "white man's country." This statement has bought down the wrath of the community on Mos years has undoubtedly made an acute problem for Chicagoq, as all other northern cities. While the majority of these are industrious, naturally an idle and shiftless element has also come. This element lives on its wits, and there is much bitterness expressed about the gambling that has been going on in the district. A score or more organizations, including the large churches, the Urban League and the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. have been working for adjustment, and while they have expended thousands of dollars, they could use thousands more in the vitally necessary work. It is believed by all thoughtful people that a newer and better Chicago will rise out of the ruins of passion and hate, just as was done out of the ruins of the great Chicago fire. Chicago has the greatest economic need for the Negro. NEGRO GIVES UP TO GOVERNOR TOPEKA, Kans.-Dr. D. H. Davis, a Negro sought by authorities of Longview, Texas, in connection with the recent race rioting there, appeared before Governor H. J. Allen today and offered to surrender. He was accompanied by Nick Childs, Topeka, Negro editor, and president of the American Negro Defense society, and others. Doctor Davis told Governor Allen he shot four white men, members of a party which came to his residence to whip his niece. He said bloodhounds were put on his trail and he evaded them by wading across a river. Did you notice that the first thing that Wilson said when he opened his mouth again after the disgraceful riot in Washington was to talk about the duty the Americans owed to far away France?

Jackson, the majority of the ministers, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Rev. A. J. Carey, Jesse Binga, and several others demonstrated efforts of leadership that caused favorable comment. Oscar DePreist, former alderman, seems to have come out of the fray with the greatest amount of credit to his name as a fearless leader. In many respects there has been much disappointment with reference to many who have posed as community leaders. "In the hour of trial," they were weighed in the balance and found wanting and missing. The attorney general, the county prosecutor, and special grand juries, with hundreds of detectives and secret service men, are at work, running down the guilty hoodlums who are responsible for the orge of blood, murder and fire. Mayor Thompson, in a public statement, claimed that the calling out of the troops frustrated an organized attempt to burn the entire South Side district. It is claimed by eye witnesses that much of the damage by the whites was done by Southerners, who had been sent to Chicago from some mysterious source in order to besmirch Chicago's fair name. At least two of these have already been given heavy fines and jail sentences by Chicago judges, one a certain Richardson, the judge calling him a "typical rioter." Governor Lowden has arranged to appoint a commission of people from both races to make a careful study of conditions and work out some plan of co-operation. An attempt was made to appoint a commission last legislative term, but the bill was defeated by our legislators on the ground of "class legislation."

Mr. Carter is at present engaged in building a $25,000 residence for one of the prominent citizens of the South Side. There is quite a bit of irony connected with the Chicago riots. But it is going to work out all right, at that. They say that one of the contributing causes is the "housing situation." The Colored people have been moving into "white neighborhoods," whatever that may mean. The first house ever built and owned in Chicago was built and owned by a Negro. That is a historical fact, and the spot is marked now by the Chicago Historical Society. All the white people who live in Chicago have followed that Colored citizen and patriot, and yet those of his kindred who would continue to better their condition are told that they are with (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 4.—Dr. W. E. Du Bois of 70 Fifth avenue, editor of The Crisis, a magazine published in connection with the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, yesterday attributed the race riots in Washington to the irritability of all people and the unsettling of many causes caused by the war, to the influx of a large number of Southerners into Washington, and to the presence in that city of many of the representatives of the educated, well-dressed class of Negroes, which white racial antagonists dislike. "Washington policemen are notoriously unfriendly to the Colored people," he added. "Time and time again they stand by and witness a dispute between a white man and a Negro and the life of our group, but within the last two years, well known thinkers, leaders and newspapers of the white group, in all sections, have pleaded for real justice and larger freedom for us. All of this has had its effect. It has not only encouraged our ambitions, but it has created a new determination—a determination to measure up to the best ideals, and to work them out at all hazards and costs. The hazards have come from the diminishing element of human-haters and radicals, whose object it has been to throw every possible obstacle in the way. It is this small element that has fanned the fire of hatred in Chicago, and every place else. It is noisy and sensational and terrible while it lasts, but it is not representative, nor long lived. and when it is over and the Negro has been beaten they arrest the Negro, and not the white man who caused the trouble in the first place." The Colored editor pointed out the similarities between the present riots in Washington and the Atlanta riots which occurred about twelve years ago. In both places, he said, "white hoodlums began rioting and killing Negroes. When the latter became aroused and began to retaliate, the authorities stepped in and the rioting stopped." On the other hand, our own group has three distinctive elements that are to be reckoned with; the ignorant hoodlums, the white man's parrots, and the ultra radical. The first are a bane, as well as a pain, in the plan of adjustment. But, their ignorance and instincts are largely due to that system of deprivation and oppression which are the blot of our American civilization.

Du Bois of 70 Fifth avenue, editor of The Crisis, a magazine published in connection with the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, yesterday attributed the race riots in Washington to the irritability of all people and the unsettling of many ideas caused by the war, to the influx of a large number of Southerners into Washington, and to the presence in that city of many of the representatives of the educated, well-dressed class of Negroes, which white racial antagonists dislike. "Washington policemen are notoriously unfriendly to the Colored people," he added. "Time and time again they stand by and witness a dispute between a white man and a Negro, and when it is over and the Negro has been beaten they arrest the Negro, and not the white man who caused the trouble in the first place." The Colored editor pointed out the similarities between the present riots in Washington and the Atlanta riots which occurred about twelve years ago. In both places, he said, "white hoodlums began rioting and killing Negroes. When the latter became aroused and began to retaliate, the authorities stepped in and the rioting stopped." Major J. E. Spingarn, acting treasurer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said the soldiers and sailors who have been taking part in the rioting in Washington resent the new attitude of self-respect the Negro has assumed because of the part he played in the war. "The soldiers," he said, "instead of fighting the Negroes because the latter think better of themselves for having fought in the war, should respect them for having proved themselves such good fighters." Major Spingarn was a staff officer attached to the Sixth Army Corps. One of the divisions of the corps was the 92nd composed entirely of Colored troops. Two representatives of the association are now in Washington investigating the causes of the race riots.

T HAPPENED IN CHICAGO (By Editor in Chief of Associated Negro Press) There is quite a bit of irony connected with the Chicago riots. But it is going to work out all right, at that. They say that one of the contributing causes is the "housing situation." The Colored people have been moving into "white neighborhoods," whatever that may mean. The first house ever built and owned in Chicago was built and owned by a Negro. That is a historical fact, and the spot is marked now by the Chicago Historical Society. All the white people who live in Chicago have followed that Colored citizen and patriot, and yet those of his kindred who would continue to better their condition, are told that they are "without favor." Throughout the entire world, Chicago has always been known as the "Wonder City of Opportunity for All Peoples." In America, every other city has yielded to Chicago with reference to the honor of being first in ra- cial development and civic opportunity. From all the corners of the earth have come all shades and degrees of thinkers, leaders, and people with ambitions for greatness, ease and comfort, to enjoy the full measure of opportunity. Chicago is filled up with men and women who have been GREAT in their home town. Many of them are active here, but of course, their influence is not as generally known and noted as in the home town because there are so many of them. In the midst of all these facts and conditions: IT HAPPENED IN CHICAGO! It happened in Washington, and, also, in the commonwealth of aristocracy, Virginia at Norfalk. Therefore, it is plain, even to the blind, that it may happen anywhere—no city is to remote or aristocratic, or large, or cultured, or anything whatsoever. New York is boasting, but that conceived provincial municipality is not immune. It is not a subject of geography, but condition. At the very beginning, the prevailing social unrest throughout the world. Added to this condition is the paradoxical, inconsistent, hypocritical attitude of the American people, at large, posing one way to the outside world, and acting entirely another way at home. The consciousness of this state of affairs has been driven home to the minds of the most illiterate person, in every section of the country. This act has been performed not only by the thinker, leaders, newspapers and the like of our group, but within the last two years, well known thinkers, leaders and newspapers of the white group, in all sections, have pleaded for real justice and larger freedom for us. All of this has had its effect. It has not only encouraged our ambitions, but it has created a new determination—a determination to measure up to the best ideals, and to work them out at all hazards and costs. The hazards have come from the diminishing element of human-haters and radicals, whose object it has been to throw every possible obstacle in the way. It is this small element that has fanned the fire of hatred in Chicago, and every place else. It is noisy and sensational and terrible while it lasts, but it is not representative, nor long lived. On the other hand, our own group has three distinctive elements that are to be reckoned with; the ignorant hoodlums, the white man's parrots, and the ultra radical. The first are a bane, as well as a pain, in the plan of adjustment. But their ignorance and instincts are largely due to that system of deprivation and oppression which are the blot of our American civilization. The second element in our group who unhesitatingly sell the birth-right of the people for a mess of pottage; they brush principle aside with a wave of the hand, and curry to the favor of the prejudiced white. The third, may be sincere, but are dangerous to the peace. The world it not going backward, it is going forward. Out of the grind of war, murder, riot, strife and desolation there will come peace.

Washington, Norfolk and Chicago will serve to awaken and quicken the conscience of that Grand Army of American Whites, who have failed until now, to regard existing conditions between the races as matters of first importance. When this Grand Army gets into action, righteous adjustment will follow. Therefore, in the disgrace of Chicago, Washington and Norfolk, martyrdom, and warning, in the cause of justice without taint or blemish. If Chicago will take no backward step—and she will not—and will set to work valiantly to to put her house in order, in this task the patient and untiring assistance of the right thinking people of our group will be abundantly applied. We ask punishment, severe and impressive to all evil doers, of all classes, without exception; we ask the splendid Grand Army of right thinking whites to get a better understanding of the right thinking, industrious, sensible and peace-loving people of our group; we ask that good American common sense, on both sides, and not hatred, on either side, be used as the basis of the program of reconstruction—for that's the job. Then these upheavals—with those that will follow unless there is eternal vigilance—will not have been in vain. "BY THIS SIGN WE WILL CONQUER." HERE'S THE KEYNOTE (Brooklyn (N. Y.) Standard Union) It is not known which race was chiefly responsible for the Chicago riot or which committed most of the acts leading up to the fierce antipathy that found violent expression yesterday. Perhaps this is of no present importance, but it is highly important that both whites and blacks should do their utmost to tolerate the other. The two have to live side by side and there should be no permanent cause for friction. Nor should one race assume the role of master. These affairs disgrace the whole American people in the eyes of the world and, of course, give main to all our citizens. Licensed Agent for State of Arizona A WARNING FOR NEW YORK (BROOKLYN (N. Y.) Eagle) The outbreak of race rioting in Chicago is a reminder, where none should be needed, that such disturbances are not matters of geography or special local conditions. Washington's recent experience showed that such conflicts are not necessary politics, but an explanation of the cause of the riots in Washington would leave the Chicago trouble unexplained. This should serve as a warning to other communities and especially to New York. A FINE IDEA (New York (N. Y.) Evening Sun) In place of race riots, let us have mutual esteem and friendship. Accord the Negro his full rights, give him full justice, full opportunity for education and advancement, and lend him a helping hand. It is the only solution. Mob violence can only make the problem more acute. It should be an effective reminder that the United States had a serious and difficult racial and sociological problem at home, quite enough to engage the attention of its humanitarians and deserving precedence over the problems of the Balkans, or of other European races which are now being lifted out of their submergence. AND NOW IT IS CHICAGO! (New York Mall) Just as the good news came that law and order had triumphed in the national capital to the extent that 2,000 regular troops brought there to keep the peace between whites and blacks could be withdrawn, Chicago proceeded to distinguish herself with a race riot of her own. It is a very serious question whether this outbreak of race rioting in cities wide apart is altogether a matter of chance. It is just possible that behind it is some clever propaganda which finds in the appeal to race prejudice—as mean an appeal as exists—the instrument for causing industrial PAGE THREE NEY and Sickness Pol- COMPANY OF benefit y Relief 00 for Loss of Life Year Medical Examination company and sold to between the ages of Insurance Department ALTY CO. East Jefferson St Phoenix, Arizona azona revolution. If that is so, the problem should be capable of quick solution by an intelligent secret service. If not, the prospects are more ominous. THE WAR OF RACES "We are now afflicted with a war of races in the national capital where much blood has already been shed and lives sacrificed. Alas, it is a proof that a legislative suppression of inexicating drinks is not, as it was said it would be—a panacea for all social and moral evils. "The war of races is all the more threatening and ominous as it is carried on in the very capital of the nation,' under the eye of the Chief Executive and commander-in-chief of the army and in the shadow of the halls of Congress, where the national legislature is in session. It is an act of defiance to our national law-givers and an insult to their constituted authority. If we are to retain the confidence and esteem of nations abroad and to enjoy security of life and property at home, this lawless uprising should be summarily and thoroughly suppressed. IN WEST VIRGINIA (By Associated Negro Press) WHEELING, W. Va., Aug. 4.—Geo. J. Austin, for thirteen years military commander of the Tuskeekee Institution, is now a worker for the War Camp Community Service as assistant to W. I. Miller, director of this district. He will consult with George Houseton, executive secretary here, concerning the organization of the Colored work in Wheeling. One of the first things of importance to be taken up is the matter of recreation for the Colored people of the city. Mr. Austin was a 'lieutenant in the Ninety-second Division, helped organize the Three Hundred and Seventeenth Engineers and the Three Hundred and Sixty-fifth Infantry.

A great crowd assembled Saturday morning to see the opening events of the tournament. The first event of the day was a parade by all the participants, lead by the 10th Cavalry band. The ball teams of each organization followed in the parade. The 10th Cavalry won the baseball game Saturday from the First Cavalry. Score, 2 to 1. White pitched, a good game of ball. It would have been a shut-out for White had it not been for one error. The line-up was as follows: Tenth Cav.—Rowlett, 3b.; Cecil, cf.; Ware, if.; Savage, e.; Johnson, ss.; Butler, 2b.; Bradley, rf.; Murphy, 1b.; White, p.

Taylor, and Rev. Wm. Young and wife. Mrs. Taylor complimented the hostess for her culinary skill and added that all good cooks came from Texas. Mrs. Jackson informed the guest that she (Mrs. Jackson) was from Louisiana. The laugh was on Mrs. Taylor. The Missionary club has changed its meeting hour from 2:30 Monday afternoon to 2:30 Tuesday afternoon. Rev. W. F. Watkins preached for Rev. Wm. Solly at the A. M. E. church in Globe last Sunday. Rev. Solly went to Miami and spoke for the people of that town. Rev. Young has every active member of his church assisting in the campaign to raise funds for the rebuilding of a Baptist church in Globe. Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Watkins who pledged $100 to the new building fund have turned over to the church a $100 Liberty bond. They say if you prefer the cash, return the bond and they will hand over the maguma. Many thanks to these good people. We trust they will live Jong and prosper. Miss White was a visitor in Globe Sunday. Mrs. C. C. Stewart and Mrs. Annie Jordan and Mrs. Mattie Harris gave a supper for the benefit of the church and the affair was very successful. They turned over $10.25 to the church as the net proceeds of the supper. The two colored churches in Globe are doing well. Mrs. W. T. Jackson slipped out from the ladies, gave Rev. Young $5 and told him to purchase a new hat for himself. S—h, don't tell her husband. Mr. Samuel McDaniels is over 70 years of age, still he is quite popular with the ladies. Mrs. F. T. Boone read an interesting paper on "Faith", to the members of St. John's Circle. It has been the source of much favorable comment among the members of the circle. Mrs. Hattie Harris entertained Rev. and Mrs. Young and Mr. and Mrs. Stewart at her home on Cottonwood street. NOGALES Mrs. Chas, Mingus, wife of Sgt. Mingus, Quartermaster corps, is spending her vacation in Texas visiting her mother and other relatives. She will remain in Texas until late fall. We trust she will have an enjoyable time.

Jordan was in his prime and with Hall of the Wreckers behind the bat, he pitched an excellent game. Grandstand plays and feature hitting were credited to Caldwell and McEady, the their vacation in Rattlesnake Cave and Bear Trail. Trust they enjoy themselves with the rattlesnakes and bear. Who said Sgt. (Pood) Donnelley was not an umpire? He accounted well for himself and the pitcher's guff in Sunday's game, although Baby Hall didn't understand how he could see a play without looking. Company C will give a dance and smoker Saturday night at the Social hall and everything is being done to make the affair worth while. MESA Mr. and Mrs. Samuel D. Wilson and son left last week for Oklahoma to visit Mr. Wilson's mother.

THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 4.—Residents of the downtown sections and in the Colored districts in North Philadelphia are claiming that the sale of pistols and other weapons to Negroes are increasing in an alarming manner. This has not been denied by pawnbrokers and hardware dealers, who maintain that there is also an appreciable increase in the sale to whites as well. It is known that the police and the military authorities in and around the city are watching the situation closely, fearing an outbreak in this city as an aftermath of the race war now in progress at Washington. Duplication of the news from the capital has caused much talk, particularly in those sections where the Negroes and whites mixed closely. With remembrance of serious outbreaks here during the war, the authorities are doing all in their power to prevent a recurrence. Owing to the report that the naval capital at Washington had been attacked by a band of armed Negroes in automobiles, and that wounded sailors and marines had been fired upon, has caused feelings to run high at the navy yard here. So open has been the talk against Negroes that the liberties have been cut to the minimum, and the same precaution will be observed as long as the naval officials feel that there is any danger. Extra patrolmen have been put out in some of the districts where racial outbreaks may be expected to occur and it is expected that regulations prohibiting the sale of firearms for the time being at least, soon will be issued. Such a precaution has been taken in Baltimore, both to prevent outbreaks in that city and to stop the transport of weapons from that city to Washington. TO GO TO LIBERIA (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—Pleas for interest in the upholding of Liberia were made by Dr. N. H. B. Cassell, president of Liberian College, Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore and others at the celebration of the 62nd anniversary of Liberian independence. The American and Liberian flags hung together, and the anthems of both countries were played by the orchestra. Dr. Cassell, who is in this country in the interest of Liberia College, outlined the needs of his country and urged interest here in its welfare. Dr. Lyon made a plea for young men and women of ability, who had some financial resources to emigrate to Liberia and add in its upholding. He praised the interest of the American government in the little West African republic and said that the granting of a $5,000,000 credit to Liberia by the United States did not mean an impairment of the independence of the former country. LET US HOPE NOT BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 4.—If the reports of the race riots in Washington are as highly colored when they reach Europe as are most stories of events in the United States, the impression is likely to be spread that this country is in the throes of a civil war, which will bar it from further interest in world affairs for a time. This is particularly unfortunate, for it may become a spur to the restless elements in European nations. "If the United States has started, it is tie for us," may be the cry. The difficulties of the various governments are, therefore, likely to be considerably increased for a few days. It is hard to believe that there was any need for allowing this wretched affair to develop to the proportions which it has attained if the authorities had shown any reasonable foresight and efficiency when the troubles, began on Saturday night. Will we not hear proposals from members of the league of nations that the United States at once adopted the same laws for the protection of racial minorities that it is requiring in Poland, Australia and Roumania to enact? WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 4.—Race riots in the country as a sequel to the disturbances here were predicted by James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Johnson is in Washington investigating the riots here and endeavoring to aid the authorities as far as possible. "I am afraid we will have riots elsewhere as a result of those here," he said. "When they come they will be serious. The Colored men will not run away from it and hide as they have done on previous occasions of that kind. The experience here has demonstrated clearly that the Colored man will no longer submit to being beaten without cause. "Throughout the South we will find that the Negroes are in a state in which they have never been before. In previous race riots they have run away and have been beaten without resistance, but now they will protect themselves. "The federal authorities must take a hand if the local or state authorities are unable to successfully cope with the situation. It is certain that the thing which should be done is to conduct a sweeping federal investigation into riots in national capital. Tribune CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Rate: 1 1/2 cents per word per issue.
