HARDING (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Nov. 11.—What is the next move on the political checkerboard? That is the question being asked by the laymen everywhere. Naturally, the "faithful" are looking to the East, and the capitol, and the White House for the proverbial "political plums" which form the menu that makes the game worth while. Immediately following the election, when Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Robert R. Church and Charles A. Cottrill, who have been in charge of the Chicago Bureau, were asked by the Associated Negro Press for a statement for the public, and the following was given: "The overwhelming vote for the Republican party is a victory for unqualified Americanism and means death to mob law and disinfranchisement." Therefore, a definite program will be mapped out in which the co-operation of all organizations throughout the country will be asked, looking to establishing a federal law on lynching, mob violence and bombing. Then, a definite way will be worked out through which the citizens throughout the country will be guaranteed the right of suffrage. It is stated on high authority that a majority of the United States senators and a large number of members of the house have pledged their support in behalf of measures of the kind mentioned. With reference to "jimcrow" cars, it is definitely known that equal accommodations will be demanded, and that the railroads will be compelled to provide Pullman accommodations for inter-state passengers. In the matter of appointments there is absolutely nothing definite yet. "Four years ago," said one of the national leaders, "a number of us got together and talked over the positions we expected to go after as soon as Hughes was elected. Our premature efforts proved to be bad luck, and during this campaign nothing was said." This much is known, however, whatever openings are made will be truly representative, and will not necessarily follow along the established lines of former days. The Register of the Treasury, and Recorder of Deeds have gone to the race for many years back, with Assistant Attorney General, Auditor for the Navy in the Treasury Department, a few ministers and collectors of Internal Revenue thrown in. These will merely be a beginning this time, according to expert opinion. Wet Gets $20,000 Fine Thirty Months In Jail (Special to The Tribune) Chicago, Nov. 11.—"This man apparently is determined not to go dry," commented Federal, Judge Landis today as he imposed a sentence of thirty months in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth and a fine of $20,000 upon Charles M. Sommers, owner of the Birchmont hotel and of the St. James grill. Sommers and his cousin, William Sommers, who were sentenced to 90 days in the county jail and fined $10,000, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate prohibition laws and for selling liquor. The possession of Negro blood may be a disgrace, but Negroes have fought many battles for the cause of liberty. To Our Readers No person is in a better position to know the attitude of the business concerns of a community than the one who solicits the advertisements and comes in personal contact with the heads of the business concern. When the advertisement of a business firm is carried in the Tribune, it not only serves as an announcement of the specifie or the line of goods handled by that concern, but it is a Direct Invitation to members of the race to patronize the business place; further, it is assurance of fair and courteous treatment. Go Where You Are Invited JEALOUS HUSBAND MAULS ATTORNEY CAUGHT WITH WIFE (Special To The Tribune) New York, Nov. 11.—David H. Slade, of the law firm of Slade & Slade, 290 Broadway, well known before, during and since the Rae Tanzer-James W. Osborne case, in which they appeared for Miss Tanzer, was set upon and badly beaten last week by David Weller, living at the Great Northern Hotel, in West Fifty-seventh street, who said later that Slade had "broken up his home and ruined his life." The assault took place in Yonkers, whither Weller in a taxicab had followed a limousine containing Slade, a woman said to be Mrs. Weller, and another man and woman. At the corner of Odell and Warburton avenues, Yonkers, Weller jumped from his taxicab and into the limousine, swinging his fists upon various portions of Slade's anatomy, especially his face. When Patrolman Henry Hallam intervened, both of Slade's eyes were closed and he was otherwise battered. Weller and Slade were taken to Yonkers Police headquarters, where the former was charged with third degree assault. He gave $250 cash bail for appearance in court. At Police headquarters Weller turned on Slade and denounced him violently. "I warned you to keep away from my wife," he said. "You have broken up my home and ruined my life. I told you I would get you for it." Slade denied the truth of Weller's allegations. SOCIAL EQUALITY GETS DEATH BLOW IN RECENT ELECTION (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Nov. 11.—"Negro domination" and "social equality" received a death-blow as political issues in the recent general election. The race issue was injected in all of the states in the North, where numbers have been increased by the recent migration. The plan of operation was well and cunningly thought out, and thousands of dollars were expended in the efforts to prove its worth by pushing the propaganda. Woman Keeps Vow Of Seclusion 60 Years (Special to The Tribune) Hancock, N. Y. Nov. 11.—In the spring of 1860 Hancock received an announcement of the engagement of one of its most prominent young women, Miss Fannie M. Read, to a lieutenant in the regular army. The wedding date was made known soon afterward, and then came the report that her father objected to the match and would not permit the marriage. Heartbroken, Miss Read took an oath that she never would be seen outside her room again. She locked herself in her chamber and only opened the door when relatives brought her meals. That was in 1861, and since Miss Read has existed merely in name. Last week the woman's brother, E. Darwin Read, died. The last coach was ready to leave the house when the door opened and Miss Read, now 78 years old and feeble, appeared on the porch. She walked slowly to the carriage, glancing to neither right nor left, ignored the hand of a woman who was her playmate in childhood, and rode away to the cemetery. Upon her return home she went again to her room, where she has stayed since the first year of the civil war and locked the door. Mrs. Tom Thumb's Second Husband Dies (Special to The Tribune) Middleboro, Mass., Nov. 9.—Count Primo Magri, second husband of Mrs. Tom Thumb, and himself a famous dwarf, died at a hospital here this week, after an illness, of two weeks. He was 71 years old. Two weeks ago Count Magri, who was thirty-seven inches tall and weighed fifty-five pounds, held an auction sale of the late Tom Thuml/s effects and those of his wife, and with the proceeds planned to return to Italy, the country of his birth. If the Negro is true to himself he will surely see the day when he will be supreme. ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13 WHOLESALE ARRESTS FOLLOW BURNING OF COTTON GINS WHOLESALE ARRESTS FOLLOW BURNING OF COTTON GINS (Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 11.—Two Negroes are dead and twelve others in jail charged with arson as the result of the simultaneous burning last week of two farm houses, a cotton gin and a number of tenant houses in Montgomery county, about twenty miles south of here. Telephone calls from panic-stricken farmers in the community following the outbreak of the fires brought a sheriff's posse to the scene, which was fired upon from the roadside by band of Negroes. Dropping beside their automobile and using it as a shield, members of the posse returned the fire, finally killing two of the Negroes and capturing twelve others. No motive is ascribed for the burning. The Negroes killed and arrested were for the most part tenants and laborers on adjoining farms. Blacks Of Washington Getting Ready For The Inaugural Parade (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Nov. 11.—With the election over, and a Republican inauguration on in the near future, social Washington has already begun to look forward to the event which, it is believed, will be the greatest in the history of the nation. It has been twelve years since the Republicans have had the pleasure of participating in an event of the kind. Committees will be formed and it is expected that the usual rivalry for supremacy will crop up as in former years. During inauguration Washington society keeps open house, and some of the greatest social functions ever held are being planned. One of the features of the inaugural parade, it is said, will be the appearance of the entire Eighth Regiment of Illinois under command of Colonel Otis Duncan and Lieut. Col. Patten, both of whom distinguished themselves in the World War. The Word "Obey" Cut Out Of Marriage Ritual (Special to The Tribune) London, Nov. 9.—Congregationalist brides here no longer need promise in the marriage service to obey their husbands. A committee of the Congregational Union of England and Wales, apointed to draw up a new form of service, has decided that modern ideas favor the omission of the word "obey," and this notwithstanding the fact that no woman sat on the committee; neither were any requests received from women to omit the fateful word. "All churches are becoming less strict in their insistence on the wording of the marriage service," said the secretary of the Women's Freedom League. "Even in Anglican churches the word "obey" is sometimes omitted at the bride's desire, and a great number of leading non-conformist ministers have lately made a practice of cutting out the vow to obey." President-Elect And Wife Will Be "Just Folks" They Declare (By the Associated Negro Press) Marion, Ohio, Nov. 11.—The wife of President-elect Harding, who has been his constant companion, in commenting on the question, "What will you do when you go to the White House?" made the following reply: "What will I do when we go to the White House? Well, I will describe it best, perhaps, this way: Do you remember on one of the campaign trips and at a big meeting, the speaker introduced Senator Harding and me as 'just folks?' Well, that is exactly what we shall be in Washington—just folks. That isn't any pose; I mean it." Commenting on the statement, one of our citizens said: "There is hope for everyone with a spirit of 'just folks' permeating our country. There has been too much class distinction in this land and as a matter of fact we are all 'just folks.'" Vanity is as valueless an asset for a president as it is for a cotton picker. It is much more to a man's credit to be human than it is to be white. GLORIOUS UNUM JUDGE WHO SPREAD SCANDAL THREATENED BY HARDING'S FATHER Marlon, Ohio, Nov. 11.—Swinging a cane and filled with wrath over the slander that has been circulated concerning the ancestry of Senator Harding, Dr. George Tryon Harding, the president-elect's father, 77 years old, passed through the main street of the city last week looking for Judge Spencer of the Probate Court. Dr. Harding accosted Judge Spencer in the street opposite the court house. He lost no time in broaching his subject. "Judge Spencer," he began. "I have been informed by what seems to be a reliable authority, that you have been exhibiting a picture of me and asserting that my veins carry Negro blood." Judge Spencer, who is a cripple and feeble, raised a protesting hand. "Doctor," he said, "I assure you on my honor that I have never at any time done anything of the sort." Offers to Make Affidavit Now Dr. Harding squared his shoulders and drew himself up to full height. "If I believed that you had done so, sir," he said, "I would smash your face." By that time quite a crowd had gathered, and it was feared that the aged physician, angered and out of patience that the despicable falsehood should have been circulated in an effort to defeat his son, would bring his cane into action. The stick was being brandished within an inch of the judge's nose. Judge Spencer voiced further protest to the effect that he never circulated the story, and would make an affidavit to that effect. At this time one of the spectators, reported to have been Herman Irey, a farmer, stepped to the side of the aged physician and spoke. Irey passed the lie to Judge Spencer, bystanders said, and then his open hand swung up against the man's face. The judge staggered back and a young woman who had joined Irey cried to him to strike again. Instead, Irey pushed the judge, and he fell into the gutter. Dr. Harding, who had been left in the background, now pushed through the crowd and waved them back. "Stand back!" he exclaimed, "the judge has denied that he did this thing and that ends it. I have always found the judge to be a perfect gentleman," and he helped Judge Spencer to his feet. "Now," he said, "let's get that affidavit." "Certainly," said the judge, and they proceeded to the office of the district attorney, where in due form Judge Spencer made deposition that he had never distributed any circulars or circulated any statements aspersing the purity of the Harding blood. Feeling Runs High Irey then went to the mayor and offered to pay a fine for the slap he administered to the judge, but no complaint had been made and no fine was exacted. To residents of Marison the encounter between Judge Spencer and Dr. Harding is a fair example of the height to which feeling has been aroused by the "Negro blood" story. Senator Harding's friends are bitter over the attempt to discredit his family, and a word passed at the proper time and the proper place certainly will be followed by a battle. The slapping of the crippled judge's face is believed to have been a mild occurrence compared with what may happen at any moment. Later in the day Judge Spencer issued a statement denying that he ever had anything to do with the spreading of the scandalous report. He said he realized there had been feeling against him since he arranged the Democratic demonstration, following which more than a thousand Marion Democrats went to the Cox acceptance celebration at Dayton. "The judge's denial ends it so far as I am concerned," was Dr. Harding's only comment. (By the Associated Negro Press) Enterprise, Ala., Nov. 11.—Four children were burned to death here from a gasoline explosion. Three of them were children of Alto Petty, and it was at his house when his daughter, 14, put gasoline in a stove to make a blaze burn faster, thinking it kerosene. SOUTHERN JURIST DECLARES AGAINST ALL LAWLESSNESS (By the Associated Negro Press) Springfield, Ga., Nov. 11.—No charge to a grand jury has created as much interest in Effingham county in the memory of the oldest inhabitant than did that of Judge A. B. Lovett. Judge Lovett, before a crowded court room, delivered his charge after the grand jury for the term had been empaired. He virtually told the grand jurors it was their duty to indict the members of the mob who lynched Philip Gathers, a Negro, who killed Miss Anza Jaudon several months ago. The judge was emphatic in declaring against mob law and mob rule and insisted that the grand jurors live up to their oaths by making diligent inquiry into all things that should come before them. The court's charge, in part, follows: "Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: The oath which each of you has just taken makes you an integral and important part of this court. Your sovereign state government is divided into three great departments, and this court represents the judicial branch. You are now truly a part of the government. You are to be called upon this week to exercise governmental powers and you will be required to discharge serious obligations imposed by law. Your sworn promise to do your duty as a governmental agency cannot be lightly worn or put off like an old coat at the door when you enter the grand jury room. It is, therefore, proper that I review with you briefly what our government is, and what your duties are as related to it, you now being a part of it. "Governments, like everything human, tend to decay, and this is especially true of free governments, which are the most difficult of all to maintain. Republics, above all other kinds of government, are maintained by respect for law. Whenever a people come to treat lightly their own fundamental law, they have arrived at the most dangerous point that is possible short of entire destruction. "Under our theory of constitutional government, a man standing upon the rights guaranteed to him by that document is more powerful than an army, and can defy a multitude, and therein lies the glory and the splendor of the American idea of free government. And yet in practical application of these great and fundamental theories, where do we find ourselves? "An indescribable crime is committed, the minds of men revolt at the horrors of it, passion dethrones reason, a victim is demanded and one is found—often guilty, sometimes innocent—and vengeance is wreaked upon him. Officers of the law, representing the sovereignty of the state, flee from the mob. What a pitiful spectacle! The state, created by the people, in flight, pursued by its own creators. Lawlessness reigns supreme; the security of the law becomes a byword to be scoffed at; constitutional guarantees are by force made vain and empty things. The very purpose for which courts were established—to ascertain truth—has been defeated, and to the victim denied. To justify such conduct, some will say that the law is technical and too slow, that justice may migcarry, and that punishment is not measurably imposed. Our civil laws are administered by our own people, and we but indict ourselves. Of necessity, laws are administered by human instrumentalities, and nothing human is perfect, but to attack the majesty of the law which protects you and yours, without which you could not live in security, is as foolish as it is wicked; it is but to tear down the temple for the imperfection of the priests. "Those most often dealt with by the mob belong to the lower race, but it can not be truthfully said that they are the favorites of our courts or of our juries. When a Negro commits the unmentionable crime, as it is sometimes called, his conviction and punishment under the forms of law, where the law is invoked, can be depended upon with complete certainty in this section of our country. Punishment by law deters from crime, because shown to be right by reason; punishment by mob incites to crime, is crime itself, because reason cannot assert itself, being overcome by passion. Laying aside the criminality of the act, trial by mob is filled with dangers. What assurance have any of you that, with public passion sufficiently inflamed, you may not be ABLE MINISTERS QUIT THE PULPIT ON ACCOUNT POVERTY (Special to The Tribune) Chicago, Nov. 11.—That the church is a failure, and thousands of preachers are leaving the ministry because they cannot pay their bills, was asserted by Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis of Brooklyn in an address before the Congregational Ministers' Union here this week. "The church itself has not broken down," said Dr. Hillis, "but the people are not using the church and supporting it as they should. The churches are run by men who are not equal to the task and who refuse to support the ministers." Dr. Hillis referred in his address to a letter from Emma Goldman which had been intercepted by the government and which was shown to him by a friend in the secret service. The letter says 30,000 are dying in Russia every month and that the streets of Petrograd are choked with human bodies. "Russia is like a chicken with its head cut off," said Dr. Hillis. "under Lenine, Russia has abolished the autocracy of a czar and set up an autocracy of labor. Under this system Shakespeare would have plowed corn and Temnyson would have dug ditches instead of writing poetry." ANTI-ALIEN LAW INDORSED BY VOTERS IN CALIFORNIA (By the Associated Negro Press) San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 11.—California voters overwhelmingly indorsed the anti-alien land law recently adopted by the state legislature and put up to the voters for a referendum. This action insures that in the future no alien who is not eligible to citizenship under federal naturalization laws may own or lease agricultural land within the state. It does not affect existing ownership or titles. The statute expressly states that aliens that are affected by it may acquire, use, transmit, and inherit interest in real property to the extent and for the purpose prescribed by treaties, and not otherwise. But the existing treaty between the United States and Japan is silent on this subject. It is pointed out that the statute is ineffect, a copy of Japanese law which forbids the ownership or lease of Japanese real property by any foreigner. The original anti-alien land law was enacted in 1918 and permitted short-term leases of lands. The new measure forbids any lease, and was taken, according to California opinion, because of various subrefuges practiced by the Japanese which in effect nullified the earlier statute. The Democratic and Republican senatorial candidates at the election for United States senator vied with each other in support of the anti-alien measure, the defeated candidate making a statement that he could bear his defeat as long as he was certain of the passage of the anti-Japanese law. Housing Problem Is Discussed By Members Of Urban League (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, Nov. 11.—The race problem in industry furnished the topic of discussion at the opening session of the National Urban League. Main points brought out by the men who addressed the League were: The necessity of better housing conditions; the desirability of using Negro foremen over Negro employees; the obstacle offered by over-developed race consciousness in the Negro, and the urgency of more frankness between Negro and white. made a victim, and your life the forfeit, though you be stainless of crime? "The remedy lies in your hands. When those who seek to take the law into their own hands know that fearless grand jurors will indict, that vigorous prosecutions will folly, and that the supremacy of the law will be maintained in fact as well as in name, then, and not until then, will this thing cease. Loyalty to our state, in peace as well as in war, is a lesson that must be learned. Obedience to law is the essence of loyalty." Suppose we all pull together now and help make the country safe for Democracy. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year NEW WORLD FOUND IN ALBERTA PRAIRIES BY AUTOMOBILIST (Special to The Tribune) Edmonton, Alberta, Nov. 10—C. H. Mitchell, treasurer and minister of municipal affairs of the Alberta government, now knows how Columbus felt when he discovered a new world. He was recently on a motor tour through southern Alberta. It was his first visit to that part of the province in ten years. Then it was open range, with only a lonely ranch house here and there. He found it change into a populous country of farms. He passed through the rich irrigated districts and was driving across the open prairie of the Bov Slope. The farms had been left behind. The unsettled region was reminiscent of old days. Suddenly of the horizon loomed an oasis of farm houses with outbuildings and wine mills set among golden grain field and pastures filled with livestock. This he thought must be a mirage. As a phenomenon born of heat and distance it intrigued him. His machine reeled off a few miles and he found the mirage a reality. Three hundred Scandinavian families from Minnesota had settled there two years before. They had come quietly, built their homes, broken the raw turf for their crops and become prosperous. A little village had arisen in the midst of the settlement which was almost independent of the out side world. The presence of these new citizens was scarcely known twenty miles away. Mr. Mitchell, an official of the province, had never heard of them. For him the settlement was San Salvador and he was its Columbus. $140,000 Diamond Theft Charged To Jeweler (Special to The Tribune) Pittsfield, Mass., Nov. 11.—Diamonds valued at $140,000 that were stolen from the safe in the jewelry store of Philip E. Schwarz here last Tuesday night were recovered a few days later. Schwarz, who has done business under the title "The Diamond Man," was arrested, charged with larceny. He denied any knowledge of the theft. The diamonds are said to have been entrusted to Schwarz for keeping over-night by Joseph C. Newman, a salesman for Charles Max of 170 Broadway, New York. The next morning a clerk in the store reported that the safe had been opened evidently by some one who knew the combination and the jewels stolen. The search led to the cellar of the store, where the police say they found the gems still in the salesman's case wedged behind a sewer pipe. According to the police, the diamonds were placed there the night after, as they say they searched the cellar thoroughly and found nothing. CELEBRATE OPENING OF FATERNITY HOUSE (By the Associated Negro Press) Bridgeport, Conn., Nov. 11.—In honor of the opening of the fraternity house on Main street, the first of its kind to be erected in the state, more than 1,500 members of colored fraternities throughout the state celebrated the occasion of the opening with a reception and dance held in the State Street Casino. --- Mr. Advertiser The Tribune is read by practically every Colored family in Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, and Tempe. It also has a wide circulation throughout the State of Arizona as well as in New Mexico, southwest Texas and other states. Do You Want This Trade?

This is a day of specialists. Not many things indifferently, but one thing supremely, is the demand of the noun—Selected. Among many things the colored people of this city need is building of their own suitable for lodge meetings, receptions, entertainments and women's clubs. They have at present no such building and whenever a big reception is to be given, they necessarily have to pay from $25 to $50 per night for the use of hall. The several lodges of this city have no suitable meeting place and are compelled to pay exorbitant rent for the use of filipated and in some cases, condemned buildings. The money thus expended might just as well flow into the hands of the colored people themselves, provided they put their means together and build a hall of their own. It can be done. There are upward of 500 colored people in Phoenix that are interprising enough to want a building of their own. Suppose each of these people pledge himself to pay one dollar per month or five months to a building fund. The sum of $2500 could be raised and nobody would be out of more than a five-dollar note. With that sum in the bank, you could get credit for a like sum and the lot could be purchased outright and the building begun. No race-loving man or woman would balk at paying one dollar per month for such a worthy enterprise and with a little initiative on the part of a few, it can be brought to a successful conclusion. We believe it is worth trying. The election is over and politics has been placed in the background. We can now go about our work as usual without being accosted by political workers who persist in showing us why their candidate is the only man that can save the country from ruin and destruction. Everybody is getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas and nobody has time for anything else. We are truly glad of this, but find difficulty in getting back to the regular order of things. Now that the election went our way, let's make things hum in a business way. Let's get together on all matters affecting the race and work for the advancement of our people. There remain many things to be done and its up to us to do them. We have now a greater opportunity for advancement than any people in this country. Are we going to sit with arms folded and permit these opportunities to pass us? We think not. The colored people will rise to the occasion and grasp the prize that is set before them. Every man to his work. Let us be up and doing. Beginning this week the Tribune will go to press Thursday morning and hereafter, no matter for publication in the current issue will be accepted later than Wednesday noon. Our subscription list has grown to such proportions that we must begin mailing out the paper on Thursday evening in order that all may receive their Tribune not later than Saturday. We ask our out-of-town correspondents to co-operate with us in our effort to get the paper out on time, by sending in their news not later than Monday of each week. Do not wait until Tuesday or Wednesday to mail your letter, for we shall be compelled to hold your matter over until the next issue if you do. The Tribune mu reach all subscribers on time and to do this, it must go to press Thursday morning. We want to thank the thousands of loyal subscribers who have made this move necessary and assure you that within a few months you will be rewarded by a bigger, better and a greater paper. Through your loyal support you have made it possible for us to reach the stage where we can give employment to other members of our race. We have now an opening for a bright, intelligent young man who desires to learn the newspaper business and is willing to work his way up. Early next year we shall have an opening for a high school girl who desires to learn the newspaper business; one who is good at composition and whose spelling is perfect. For such a girl we shall have a good position to offer. Three years ago, when we established the Tribune, it was our desire to found a business that would offer suitable employment to the young men and women of our race after they complete their education. We didn't want them to come out of school and be compelled to accept menial positions—positions that require no special training to fill. In a word, we wanted to hold out a nice lucrative position as an inducement for them to continue their education. Our dream is about to be realized and again we wish to thank you for the splendid support you have given us in the way of subscriptions, news items and for the many kind words spoken in behalf of your paper, the Phoenix Tribune. Phoenix must and will have a colored men's branch of the Y. M. C. A. Just as sure as two and two make four, we are going to have a "Y" for our boys in Phoenix. Many good families are coming here to live and the crop of growing boys is increasing rapidly. These boys get tired of playing ball on vacant lots and want other forms of amusement. It is our duty to provide good, wholesome amusement for our boys and in the end, we are old to strict accountability. Eastern capitalists have assured us that if we make the start and show them that we really want a "Y", the necessary money will be forthcoming. Why halt ye between two opinions? If you want a "Y", make the start, and if not, quit talking about it. The boys of today are the men of tomorrow. A robust, healthy boy that has received Christian training usually makes a better citizen than one who is not so healthy and has been denied the proper training. We should make better provision for our boys than our fathers made for us. We live in an enlightened age and more is expected of us. All together now: "Phoenix must and will have a colored men's branch of the Y. M. C. A." PAGE TWO Address All Communications to the PHOENIX TRIBUNE P. O.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING loneliness; the silence seemed to smite her. Still it was not far to the tree, and surely there could be no danger at this hour. If there had been Westcott would never have asked her to come. The very recurrence of his name gave her strength and courage. It was a rough path, sandy, interspersed with small rocks, and led down into a gully. The tree stood on the opposite bank, which was so steep she had to grasp its outcropping roots in order to pull herself up. Even after gaining footing she saw nothing of Westcott, heard no sound indicating his presence. Suddenly something moved to her right, and she shrank back against the tree, uncertain if the shapeless thing approaching was man or beast. He was almost upon her before she was sure; then her lips gave utterance to a little sob of relief. "Oh! You frightened me so!" The man stopped, scarcely a yard away, a burly figure, but with face indistinguishable. "Sorry to do that," he said, "but no noise, please." She shrank back to the edge of the bank, conscious of the grip of a great fear. "You—you are not Mr. Westcott?" she choked. "Who are you? What is it you want?" "You've been playin' in a game what's none o' your business. Now I reckon it's the other party's turn to throw some cards. Thought yer was comin' out yer ter meet up with Jim Westcott, didn't yer?" She made no answer, desperately seeking some means of escape, the full significance of her position clear before her. "Got a nice little note from Jim," the fellow went on, "an'l no time a gittin' yere. Well, Westcott is not lable to be sendin' fer yer again very soon. What ther h——" She had dashed forward, seeking to place the trunk of the tree between them, the unexpected movement so sudden, she avoided his grasp. But success was only for an instant. Another hand gripped her, hurling her back helplessly. "You are some sweet little lady's man, Moore." snarled a new voice raspingly. "Now let me handle this business my own way. Go get that team turned around. I'll bring the girl. Come on now, miss, and the less you have to say the better." She grasped at the bark, but the 'ellow wrenched her loose, forcing her T "Keep Still, You B——Tiger Cat," He Hissed. forward. "Keep still, you d——tiger cat," he hissed, "or I'll quiet you for good." "What is it you want of me? Who are you?" "We'll discuss that later. Just now, move on—yes, straight ahead. You see that wagon over there? Well, that is where you are bound at present. Move on pronto." She realized the completeness of the trap into which she had fallen, the futility of resistance. She was as helplessly in his power as though bound and gagged. Before them appeared the dim outline of a canvas-covered wagon silhouetted against the sky, to which was hitched a team of horses. As they approached, the shapeless figures of two men appeared in the gloom, one at the head of the team and the other holding back the canvas top. Her guard gripped her arm, and peered about through the darkness. "Knut Ned here yet?" "Yes, all right." answered a muffled voice to the left. "I just came out; here are the grips and other things." "And about the note?" "She wrote that, and pinned it on the pillow." "Good, that will leave things in fine shape," he laughed. "I'd like to see Jim's face when he reads that, and the madder he gets the less he will know what to do." "And you want us to stay?" asked the other doubtfully. "Stay—of course; I am going to stay myself. It is the only way to divert suspicion. Good Lord, man, if we all disappeared at once they would know easy onough what had happened. Don't you believe Westcott is that kind of a fool. All ready, Joe?" The man at the wagon muttered some response. When no you go, miss; here, put muddled figure, his arm drawn back. Then he became aware of excitement within, the sound of voices, the trump of feet on the floor, the sudden opening of a door. A gleam of light shot out, revealing the figures of men. With one spring he was across the shapeless form on the ground, and had vanished into the darkness beyond. Lacy was first to reach the unconscious body, stumbling over it in the black shadow, as he rushed forward, revolver in hand. He cursed, rising to his knees, and staring about in the silent darkness. "There's a man lying here—dead, likely. Bring a light. No, the fellow is alive. Dammit, it's Moore. Here you—what happened?" The fellow groaned, opened his eyes, and looked about dazedly. "There—there was a fellow at that window there. I—I saw him from be- P Again the Clenched Fist Struck. low, and crept up behind but he turned around just as I struck." "He was at that window, you say?" "Yes; kneelin' down like no was lookin' into the room. Oh, Lord!" Lacy crunched over to the side of the shack, and bent down to get a better view. His fingers came in contact with the knife which upheld the sash, and he plucked it out, holding it up into the beam of light passing through the rent in the torn curtain. He stared at the curiously carved handle intently. "That's Jim Westcott's jack-knife. He's been listening to all we said. Now we are up against it." "What's that?" The question came from Enright, still at the corner of the house, unable to tell what had happened. "Westcott has been here listening to our talk. He pried up the window with this knife, so he could hear. Moore caught him, and got knocked out." "He—he heard our talk in—in there," repeated the dazed lawyer, his lips trembling. "And—has got away? Good heavens! man, where has he gone? After the sheriff?" Lacy stared at him through the darkness, and burst into a roar of unrestrained laughter. "Who? Jim Westcott? the Sheriff? Well, hardly at this stage of the game. That's your way down East, no doubt, but out in this country the style is different. No, sir; Westcott isn't after any sheriff. In the first place he hasn't any evidence. He knows a thing or two, but he can't prove it; and if we move faster than he does we'll block his game—see?" "What do you mean?" Lacy leaned forward, and kissed his answer into Enright's car. "Put Cavendish where he can't get at him. There's no other chance. If Jim Westcott ever finds that fellow alive our goose is cooked. And we've got the advantage—we know where the man is." "And Westcott doesn't?" "Exactly, but he will know. He'll comb these hills until he finds the trail—that's Jim Westcott. Come on back inside, both of you, and I'll tell you my plan." The door closed behind them, shutting out the yellow glow, and leaving the hillside black and lonely. Miss Donovan did not go down to supper. Beaton waited some time in the office, his eyes on the stairs, but she failed to appear, and he lacked the necessary courage to seek her in her own room. Then Earight called him and compelled his attendance. The absence of the girl was not caused from any lack of appetite, as she subsidized the Chinaman to snuggle her a supply of food by way of the back stairs, which she ate with decided relish, but she had no desire to show any anxiety regarding a meeting with the newcomers. Her newspaper experience had given her some knowledge of human nature and she felt convinced that her task of extracting information would be greatly simplified if these people sought her company first. She was at the window when some one rapped at the door. She arose to her feet, and took a step or two forward, her heart beating swifter.

He says that he has been paid compound? interest on his $250 and has no regrets. Crump made speeches throughout the state in the interest of Governor Campbell and the entire Republican ticket.

The men who actompanied the women to the polls contended that, under the ruling of Attorney General R. A. Denny, any woman could vote, regardless of whether she had regis- tered or not. The officials, however, were guided solely Ly the state elee- tion laws, which provide that a citizen, im order to vote, must be registered at least six months before election day. Black Spot In 1920 Presidential Election Is Furnished By Florida (By the Associated_Negro Press) Orlando, Pla, Nov. 11—This com- munity furnished one of the black spots of the 1920 presidential election, when July Perry, a citizen of Ocoee attempted to vote, anf was denied by the election officers on the ground that he had not paid his poll tax. Perry informed his friends in the community about the niatter, and they determined to look into the cause. As a result, at least three whites and one colored man were killed. The whites formed a mob and began to burn down the homes of colored peo- ple in the community. EER FP ee JERSEY COURT CALLS 50 WOMEN AS JURORS (Special to The Tribune) Trenton, N.

K. Williams, pastor of Olivet Baptist church, said to be the largest colored organization in the world, issued a statement denying there was insurrection in his church. Dr. Williams in his statement says: "Touching this report, I would say that it is not true to Baptist principles nor is it true to the actual verified facts in the case. I guess you know it is not possible for a congregation to be a Baptist church without possessing the right of self-determination and independence. "One other corollary of this fundamental Baptist truth is the rule of the majority. The members of the Olivet Baptist church who worship at 27th street have the right to and do vote to decide finally and absolutely all matters affecting themselves. They are just that much of Olivet Baptist church with the prerogatives and privileges of participating at all times in all the general business meetings of said church, wherein all matters affecting their autonomy is always considered and passed upon. They do not only possess all the rights of Baptist members, but they enjoy likewise the privileges that exist in all Baptist churches. This being true, there could be no internal strike in the church over a desire for a thing the worshipers at 27th street already possess as does every member of Olivet or members of any other Baptist church. "To further illustrate that the worshipers at 27th street are not seeking a thing they have -self-direction—and that there is no strife in Olivet over this, they, the worshipers at 27th street, voted unanimously to disapprove newspaper reports and rumors which have been assiduously circulated to the contrary. This they did last Sunday evening. "Many truth-seeking and truth-loving people do not draw the real and the Baptist distinction that exists between churches and church houses. They do not always remember that it is as much possible for one church to worship in many houses as it is for many churches to worship in one church house."

LOUIS MEN (By the Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 11.—The Douglas Life Insurance company is now one of the strongest business ventures of the colored people in this city. This has been brought about by a big boosting campaign among the colored people themselves. Discrimination practiced by the white companies was the chief reason for the initiation of the campaign, although the need for giving practical encouragement to race business ventures also entered lately into the matter. $90,000 FILM PRODUCTION PROPOSED BY COLORED FOLKS (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, Nov. 11.—Toussaint L'Ouverture, the $90,000 production proposed by the Delsarte Film Corporation, will be shown for ten weeks in a large Broadway theatre and simultaneously in Paris, France. Afterwards it will be released throughout the world. Clarence Muse, the celebrated dramatic star, will play the title role. The releasing company is spending approximately $150,000 in exploitation. This is a racial achievement as this is the first time our race actors have been featured in a superproduction. MEXICO TO PAY $10,000 FOR KILLING OF BENTON Washington, Nov. 11.—Great Britain has agreed to a settlement of the claim against Mexico growing out of the killing of William S. Benton, a British subject, near Juarez, on February 17, 1914. Mexico is to pay $10,000 cash to Mrs. Benton and a pension of $2.50 a day as long as Mrs. Benton remains unmarried. Benton, whose wife is a native of Mexico, was killed when he went to Francisco Villa's headquarters to protest against outrages committed by Villistas in the Juarez region. It always has been understood here that the Benton case was one of the principal reasons for the refusal of the British government to recognize the Carranza regime.

KENTUCKIANS OBJECT TO COLORED PLAYERS (By the Associated Negro Press) Lexington, Ky., Nov. 11.—Transylvania canceled its game with Ohio to be played at Athens.

There were three clubs: the women of the church under Gen. E. B. Tidrington, the men under Gen. J. A. C. Jones, and friends under Gen. Ben Thompson. Mr. Thompson deserves special mention for the excellent work he did as a friend.

C., Nov. 11.—A citizens' conference on Negro education has been called by Dr. P. P. Claxton, commissioner of education at Atlanta. Invitations have been sent to the governors of state, superintendents of public instruction of al the Southern states, to the presidents of Negro educational and industrial schools, colleges and universities, to influential business men, and to leading men and women of the South who have shown a deep interest in improving education among 12,000,000 American Negroes. "The Southern states," says Dr. Claxton, "are spending many millions of dollars annually to improve Negro schools. The amount will, no doubt, be largely increased. It is important that this money should be used to the best advantage." Two sessions of the conference on Negro education will be devoted to a discussion of the work, conditions and needs of colleges of agriculture and mechanic arts for Negroes in the South. The discussions will be based on a report by Dr. Walton C. John, specialist in land grant college statistics for the United States Bureau of Education, who is now making a survey of these institutions. Dr. Claxton and his conferees, both white and colored, will endeavor to arrive at a summary of conclusions which will make it possible for Negro education to make a distinctively forward movement.

THE PHOENIX SAVINGS BANK & TRUST COMPANY Affiliated with the Phoenix National Bank SAVINGS TRUSTS TRUSTS SAVINGS Magic $50 Bil Changes To $100 Bill Instantly (Special to The Tribune) Kansas City, Nov. 11.—Uncle Sam rarely makes mistakes in his bank note printing, but one of the most famous errors he did make was that of the Kansas City bank note which tore a $100 face and a $50 back. The single not was paid out by the bank as a $100 note to a local hotel for the same amount. All went well until the cashier in checking up the day's receipts found he was $50 short. He recounted the money and it was correct. Just to make sure he counted it a third time and found himself $50 short again. For fifteen minutes he counted and recounted, and at last convinced that his mind was giving way, he called the manager, who underwent the same experience. Both clerk and manager had counted the bills by stacking them on the right, pulling off a bill and placing it on the left, turning the bill over as they did so. The error was discovered by a third clerk who was called in by the fightened hotel officials when he counted the bills one by one and examined both sides. The bill was turned into the treasury department and destroyed. LOOKING FOR TROUBLE Cincinnati—Employing bakers announce that they will operate on the non-union basis, starting next April, when an agreement with the Bakers' union expires.

The bosses are aware that they will be resisted by their organized employees, but the prize of securing absolute control in setting wages can not be overlooked by greed.
