SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1921. 5 Cents a Copy: $2.50 a Year $22,000 EMBEZZLED BY ATLANTA INSURANCE MAN CHARGE (By The Associated Negro Press). Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 6—The country will be pained to hear that J. C. Lindsay, prominent insurance man of Atlanta, Ga., and a well known figure in the National Negro Business League, has been arrested for alleged embezzlement. Following the completion of an audit of accounts of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance company, of 132 Auburn avenue, a company owned entirely by the Race, which disclosed an alleged defalcation, Mr. Lindsay, wealthy Atlanta Negro, and manager of the company, was arrested here on a charge of embezzling approximately $22,000.00 of the company's funds, and was imprisoned in the Fulton county tower in default of a $25,000.00 bond. Other arrests are indicated by the company's attorney in a statement Tuesday. Lindsay was arrested on a warrant taken out by W. W. Chamblee, one of the company's agents. He immediately communicated with Rev. T. J. Bryant, a leading minister, in an effort to furnish the required bond, but Tuesday night he had not been released. Lindsay maintains his innocence and predicted his exoneration. He came to Atlanta from Savannah several years ago and is said to be a stockholder in a Savannah bank and to have other valuable holdings. A. F. Herndon, proprietor of what is known as the finest barbershop in the South and one of Atlanta's wealthiest citizens, is president of the company. It was stated Tuesday at his barber shop on Peachtree street that he is out of the city, and will not return for several days. Evidence is being gathered that may lead to two or three further arrests, according to Attorney W. Carroll Latimer, counsel for the insurance company. He stated Tuesday night that investigations are not complete and that when the probe is finished several other persons may be implicated. MESA By Alphonso Robinson Rev. J. D.

CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN IS NOW ON AMONG VIRGINIA BLACKS (By The Associated Negro Press). Newport News, Va., Jan. 6.—What is expected to be a forerunner of similar movements throughout the South was taken here recently in a protest of Colored citizens at the presence in their section of houses of ill repute, voiced at a meeting of the Inter-Racial committee. The strenuous protests stated the committee delegates to work at once with the city authorities in their anti-vice crusade of the city authorities. Colored people of Newport News last night registered protest of the presence of houses of ill repute in their section of the city, following which the Inter-Racial committee delegates, George Hardy, Dr. P. A. Scott and J. H. Ridley to work with the city authorities in the anti-vice crusade. Most of the houses, it was charged at the meeting, are patronized by white men, despite the fact that they are maintained by colored women. Colored people with the exception of the inmates, are barred in most instances, the committee's informants declared. Representative Colored men declared that their daughters are in danger of being lured from their homes by the proprietors of the houses. "They will not let respectable Colored people cross their threshold and we have no means of assisting the authorities in the suppression or the regulation of these places, for we do not know what is going on," one of the speakers is quoted as saying. The Negro members of the committee declared that they do not want the section in which they live contaminated by the houses and their inmates. They further declared that nothing is quite so disgusting to respectable colored people as the sight of white men skulking through the darkness to be in the company of colored women—women who often are social outcasts of their own race.

NEW RELIFF HOME OF COLORED GIRLS OPENED IN SEATTLE (By The Associated Negro Press.)

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1921. RELIEF CAMPAIGN TO BE CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS New Year's day was the day set for ending the campaign of the European Relief Council in America to raise $33,000,000 to save the lives of 3,500,000 child victims of the world war, but it will be necessary to continue the campaign until this amount is wholly subscribed as the children are in a critical condition, it was announced here at Arizona headquarters of the council. The following statement was issued: "Arizona, as well as all other states, is having difficulty in raising its share of the amount required, due presumably to unsettled financial conditions and the fact that the council started its campaign at a time when several other campaigns were in progress. These other campaigns were largely for local charity. Herbert Hoover, chairman of the European Relief Council, has agreed with this sentiment by saying the home needs must come first. He says, however: 'The starving children of Europe are the obligation of every man and woman in America who has a penny more than his own children and his neighbors' children require. These children are the real wastage of war.' "In extending the campaign in Arizona over the new year," the statement continues, "we are following instructions from Herbert Hoover as follows: 'It is announced that the national collection to date has been secured only by the greatest effort and not more than one-third of the necessary $33,000,000 has been raised to see these children through until next harvest. It is the unanimous decision that we will not stop until America has accepted as "Invisible Guests" the whole 3,500,000, and the task would be simple if everyone who can maintain an automobile would entertain at least one "Invisible Guest."'" The statement says instructions have been issued to the fourteen county chairmen of Arizona for continuing the campaign indefinitely.

You should have seen Mrs. NOTED EDUCATOR URGING BLACKS TO RETURN TO AFRICA (By the Associated Negro Press.) Savannah, Ga., Jan. 6—Dr. C. F. Checizzi, a native Abyssinian priest, who has degrees from Oxford and Paris universities, and is Dean of the National and International College of Languages and Sciences of Pinceton university, Indiana, is making his fourth tour of the country urging members of his race to return to Africa. He points out that his own country, Abyssinia, is now an independent country, has never been conquered, and is the cradle of civilization. If black government could succeed in Abyssinia, why could it not succeed all over Africa, asks Dr. Checizzi. Dr. Checizzi stated that there were 1,500,000 Negroes actually fighting in the World war, and that 520,000 of them lost their lives. In contradiction of reports of cowardice on the part of black troops engaged in the war, he points to several famous Negroes who have won fame as military and political geniuses. "While it might be said that Liberia and Hayti, both Negro republics, have not succeeded, and the failure of Liberia and Hayti is due to the lack of education," said Dr. Checizzi, "while Abyssinia has succeeded, time will show that these republics can succeed as well as white governments. Many white governments in the Balkans and Russia have been miserable failures. The white man has tried to dominate Africa, but that continent should be solid black. Only by uniting in Africa will the black races be able to obtain recognition in the councils of the world. The departure of the blacks from this country to Africa would automatically settle the race problem which has been the source of so much discord. Dr. Checizzi, besides holding degrees from two universities, speaks 15 languages, using English with fluency, and is a priest of the Coptic religion. He attended the World's Fair in St. Louis with the sons of King Menelik of Abyssinia and has lived for a long time in this country, as well as nearly every other country on the face of the globe. ANOTHER 'BIG DINNER Mr. and Mrs. Todd Tannehill were among the New Year dinner hosts, giving a prettily planned affair on New Year's day. The guests gathered around two tables, different in color scheme but blending beautiful, making the effect altogether charming. The tones employed in decorations were pink, green and white. A miniature decorated tree served as centerpiece for each table. Opossums from Texas were engaged to grace the New Year dinner, but being delayed a 25-pound turkey rose to fill his place at the table and he had congregated around him all that could be crowded in a six-course dinner. The guests included Rev. and Mrs. M. Thompson, Miss Susie Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lucas, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hamilton, Mr. H. W. Woods and Mr. Saul Henderson. Smith do the Indian dance. Mrs. B. was another one of the star performers. It was worth $1 of any man's money to see the performance, but it was all free. If they try, we believe they can get a job with the Sunshine company of the mines. Mrs. Mose Davis entertained Mrs. McKelvey and daughter at breakfast last Sunday morning. General Manager W. S. Boyd of the Ray Con Copper company gave little Chester Maryland a beautiful Christmas tree. Santa Claus was very good to little Chester and he invited his little friends in to help him eat candy and other goodies that had been given him. Mr. and Mrs. Rivers and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Clark left Monday for their home in Phoenix. They had a delightful time here. Ray was unusually lively during the holidays. The plant closed for two days and all joined in the merriment. Visitors who come to Ray are assured of a good time, for we always try to make it pleasant for visitors.

WILLIAM MCDONALD SPENDS $12,000 FOR LARGE MONUMENT WILLIAM MCDONALD SPENDS $12,000 FOR LARGE MONUMENT (By The Associated Negro Press) Fort Worth, Tex., Jan. 6.—What is said to be one of the largest and most expensive cemetery monuments in Fort Worth is the one which is being set up in Trinity cemetery by William M. (Gooseneck Bill) McDonald in memory of his son, who died about three years ago. The shaft is thirty-one feet high, of polished granite and cost $12,000.

ANONYMOUS LETTER TELLS WHAT IS IN NEGRO'S HEAD ANONYMOUS LETTER TELLS WHAT IS IN NEGRO'S HEAD (By the Associated Negro Press.) Savannah, Ga, Jan. 6.—There is quite a little comment going on relative to an anonymous letter received by the recorder here. The letter has been published in the daily newspapers, and the recorder turned the original over to the postal authorities. The letter is published exactly as written, and while the English is not the purest of the Queen's, it very clearly answers the question for the Memphis Appeal, which newspaper recently had an editorial under the caption: "What's In the Back of the Negro's Head?" Even the more ignorant of the Race are thinking in terms of what is just and what is not. Says the letter: "Recorder Swhatz—I am going to see what you are going to do with those aristocratic white men of your class for shooting and lynching our race, if it had been our Colored men that burned and murdered a white man of your class why you yourself have ordered out your hole force and bloodhounds and by her every Colored man and boy in Savannah, the right and the wrong and I suppose had him and you in your chair a judge you are not worthy of your chair because you are less than a gentleman to let a white man murder the Colored men what would you white people do? What could you do without, a Negro? "You can get up nothing unless a Negro is in it. Your family can't do without a Negro, but still a Negro is not more than a dog in your sight. But you must remember that God is above you and he knows and when he do come to judge he will be judge over you and all the rest. He is going to judge you mighty hard, because you had cause a man of our Colored men and boys to sweat and lose their freedom, and you take a crime from a white man and put it on a Colored man, and you all beat our Colored women over the head with a blackjack as quick as you would kill a snake. But remember you day is coming. "From yours truly." DOUGLAS Mrs. A. J. King, formerly Mrs. Wm. Porter, has been entertaining her two neices, Misses Juliette and Helen Sturgis of Phoenix during the holidays. Today being Miss Juliette's birthday, the young men of the Gadsden hotel are entertaining her with a birthday party at the home of Mrs. A. J. King, 1035 R. R. avenue. The offspring of a union between parents of different races will possess the worst characteristics of both. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year LIBERTY SPECIAL WILL TAKE BLACKS TO INAUGURATION ing, gnge rth ted tea ces res and lne (By the Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Jan. 6.—There is an effort being made to assemble an entire train of Pullman in Chicago to be taken on from here as a special to the inauguration in Washington, March 4. The movement is under the direction of R. L. Mays and promises to be successful. Mr. Mays is president of the Railway Men's International Industrial and Benevolent association. The plan as outlined is to make up special parties in Oklahoma, Arkansas, California, Minnesota and also Denver, Omaha, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Kansas City and other points, and for all to meet in Chicago on a certain date, probably March 2. and the special train to go from here. It is planned to have a train of solid Pullmans, with baggage and dining cars. Short stops are contemplated at Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Harper's Ferry en route. At Harper's Ferry, made famous by John Brown, there will be a visit to the historic spot and a short program. The train when made up will be given a name fitting for the occasion, "Inauguration Special," "Liberty Special," or something to demonstrate both the progressiveness and determination of Colored Americans. This special train is set aside for the contemplated plans for taking the Eighth Regiment to the inauguration. Plans for the Eighth are under way but have not been fully consummated. It will cost several thousand dollars to transport the regiment, but many people feel that the effect for good would be such that every person should be willing to help with the expense. Col. Otis Duncan is in charge of the regiment. FLAGSTAFF By Mrs. Estella Wallace Mr. Oscar Gooch resigned his position here and left Saturday for Clarksdale, Ariz., where he will be joined later by his wife and baby.

EXD, , BE Wore % fie & oF Sf WHY DISCOURAGED? By J. EDWARD HARRISON, in New York Dispatch Discouragement is a serpent eating at the heartstrings of thousands of human beings. It sometimes comes about because of circumstances, created by individuals themselves, bécause of short-sightedness and foolish acts. Again, it will come because of environment over which one has no control; at least the control is so slight one may well say he is powerless; from which ever cause it arises, the results are the same, if it is not met and encountered in the right spirit. Discouragement in a certein sense is a very bad attitude of mind to fall in and often works irreparable harm, and from still another point, discour- agement is one of the best things to enter into a human life, as we are facing the dawning of the new year to start aright. Who can tell what's in store?—Methinks only time holds the answer. My experience has taught me the most of the discouraged ones are chargeable directly, due mostly to their lack of carefulness. Let me repeat, there are two kinds of discouragement, constructive and destructive. One ucts a8 @ necessary propeller to drive many away from themselves, and little things about them, out into the great ocean of events both of them- selves and the universe; while upon the other and, discouragement may be permitted to crush out all energy and hope and leaves us weak-minded; soon, such are hunting for the nearest pistol, razor or deadly drag, or plac- irg a gas tube in their mouths. People who entertain such foolish notions to destroy themselves, because discouraged, are cowards and fools, regardless what they may stand for; it’s the attitude of people's hearts and minds that discourages or encourages; the secret of everyone's success lies within them; if you want to be a winner in life, keep an upright, active mind, and a hopefdl heart. The secret of the whole thing lies in this story, Not long ago a certain young man dressed himself for an evening affair; upon leaving the house and bidding his mother good-bye, she placed kisses of love upon his cheek and wished him a. pleasant evening; he thanked her, ds every decent son will do, and then averred, “Mother, I'm sure I'll have a delightful evening, be- cause I'm going to take it with me.” In other words, he was going to ‘see to it that happiness and joy was going to be the tone of the party, if he alone had to furnish it. People we meet, though few in number, with such @ heart and mind, are no friends to Mr, Discouragement, and Mr. Discon- tent is fully aware of such. Why, then, be discouraged or revengeful? Seek earnestly, and you shall find; knock hard and long, if need be, and the doors lealling to peace, happiness and success will surely, in due season, swing wide upon their hinges of gold and admit you as warmly and as enthusiastically as others who have found the key and pearl at a great price, and are now enjoying the delicious fruits promised to all, regardless of race, if they faint not nor grow weary, however steep the hill or rough the road, but hold fast till vietory smiles upon them. ‘Take hope, cheer, joy and sunshine everywhere you go, and keep their fires burning brightly; discouragement just can’t stand their heat. COTTON IS KING oe a a See Cotton is yet KING. Its producers, however, rate among the lowest in the social and economic stale of American life. In this period of economic reaction it is well to give serious consideration not only to the crop prodiietion of cotton, wheat, corn, potatoes, apples and other farm staples, but it will be wisdom to give thought to the spirit of the markets awaiting their delivery. In the instance of cotton the European market has taken a decided slump. A recent authority asserts that of the 9,000,000 bales of cotton exported before the war 3,000,000 bales went to Germany. It is true that theré was an after-the-war boom that sent the price of cotton skyward. All this has changed, however. The loss of the German market and the subsequent decline of other European demands have brought about @ very serious situation among the cotton farmers in the South. The weight of the burden falls upon thé small owners and the simple tillers of the Soil. These sinall owners are in many instances Negroes. The tillers are nearly all Negroes, But let uis come to the “nut cracking” in this ques- tion, “The system of grading and warehousing cotton is primitive com- pared With that of grain. The system of picking is by hand for lack of a cotton “harvester.” Production is on smaller units, and sby more ignorant producers.” All of which brings me back to the old-fashioned contention that We have been paying too much attention to the question of rights and too little fotice to the thatters of duty. Our “movements” all tend in the direction of discrimination. It appears to be of small moment that cotton ig still being “picked by hand and production is on smaller units and by more ignorant producers.” Philanthropy, rather than economic determination has been the root impulse of our social and industrial development, We haye a formidable and well fed army of welfare workers strutting hither and thither throughout the country, but eotton is being picked by hand and produced, in the main, by ignorant workers. It matters not that an influential clement in American life is “hell bent” in holding us at the foot of the Social ladder. We owe it to ourselves that we shall ever step for- Ward and upWard. Let the social vision of the United States of America remuin short, if that is its will, we must go on for our own sake and the good of humatity. We must begin to send our most capable boys and girls into the best schools of the world, thereby equipping them for the impending struggle for supremacy. 1 say “supremacy” because the “white World” will listen to nothing else. And we must PAY OUR OWN BILL! A “cotton harvester” can be devised by a Negro, and cotton must be pro- duced by intelligent producers. Work and pay our own bill, All else spells disaster.

O. Henry could at least drag a laugh out of the subject. Any sailorman could drag a laugh out of a hitching post just trying to describe brightwork and what it means to his brine-soaked soul. The American battle fleet used to be white. On the cruise around the world in 1900 foreigners marveled at our cleanliness. The ships were like great floating advertisements for some washing compound. "They even smell clean!" exclaimed an Australian. Tidiness is all right and so is healthful well-alredness. But warfare against fith can be carried too far. After the Spanish-American war the eternal irritation of painting and scrubbing and polishing coupled with ironbound rules to preserve the virgin purity of what had been painted, scrubbed, and polished, nearly drove men to distraction. This one thing was said to have been responsible for more than 75 per cent of desertions at that time. Finally war paint was adopted in place of white. Rails and upper works were also gray. Even guns, once so beautifully pollshed, now faded into the misty background of the sea horizon. Battle lanterns and search lights were black. Gangways were dull shellacled. Every effort was made to assure cleanliness, but without being finicky or forplish. All surfaces were made dull that could be. Today "brightwork call" on the bugle at 8:15 a.m. means more than half an hour of overhauling than of actual shining. The whole ship is divided into cleaning stations. During the morning watch from 5:30 to 7:30 the men sweep and scrub paintwork, canvas, decks, masts and other parts. The period from 8:15 to 8:45 is merely a final touch. In the engine and dynamo rooms there is a good deal of metal surface to be shined. But this is considered in the class with scrubbing on deck. However, outdoor machinery, such as winches, cranes, and capstans have small unpainted parts which are polished at "brightwork" time. Wood can also be brightwood. In fact this term has come to signify any surface unpainted. For instance the gunwales (edges or rails) of boats are no longer varnished. They are scrubbed, bleached in the sun, and sand-papered until softly white and smooth. Working parts of a gun are polished, but the barrel is painted dull gray. A concession to shininess is made by using gray enamel or by oiling the painted surface. It's not hard work though, and there is something in it that appeals to the men. A few bright spots change the whole ship's appearance. It is like the single pearl in the dark tie of a well-dressed man's apparel. Jack might not entirely agree. But his esthetic taste is less stunted than he tries to pretend. BALANCING POISE is man's greatest social gift. Awkwardness marks the cloak. Equilibrium of mind and mental attitude, grace of bearing and manner, are characteristics of a gentleman the world over. And, strangely enough, of an engine too. "It's alive!" spectators cried when the first steam mechanism kicked sidewise and snorted. It was. But that was all. For its basic lack of balance made it no more than the abysmal brute ancestor of our great race of modern steam machineries. Watt's engine nearly shook the laboratory windows out. Bob Fulton's "baby" snatched pitch from his vessel's seams by such vibration as a nervous earthmoke couldn't imitate. At that time centrifugal force was the dark horse of steam design. Moments—that is leverages—of rotating masses were the wild tribe of early mechanical construction. Often and often would they descend on a peaceful habitation of cranks and wheels and wreck the whole contraption. Engines ran, but for how long was a matter of luck. Earlier types did fairly well because their speed was nothing to brag about. During the Civil war the Navy department built the Wampanoag for the purpose of cleaning out Johnny Reb's swift commerce destroyers. But her knees knocked together too hard. She averaged the then startling speed of 18 knots on her trial trip. The engine made only 30 turns per minute. By heavy gearing a speed of 75 revolutions was transmitted to the propeller shaft. (Contrast this with modern turbines going about 1,000 r. p. m.) But poise was there not, and a cruel not it was. Her wooden sides trembled. Her whole body became palsled like a great-grandmother who's eaten too many ice-cream sodas as a girl. But genius was not to be beaten so easily. In the succeeding 40 years rotative speed increased tenfold and power jumped every year. Since 1899 the United States has produced more than 7,700,000 auto mobiles. Navy Tales By a Lieutenant in the United States Navy Copyright by George M. Macmillan Admiral SMOKERS FOR genuine resourcefulness and initiative the American bluejacket has no equal the world over. Give him half a chance, the skiniest hint of an idea, and you'll get more action than a two-tailed comet. Smokers prove it. The fleet has them Saturday nights now and then. They're like stag parties ashore in a way. But think of a thousand stags and half a thousand guests! Picture them young and vigorous, and curbing the ardor of their spirits by the same strength of restraint that gives them to fight like men. The band plays and the movies move, and the Irish boson warbles his seagging best. Up goes a tremenjus roar. "The heavy-weight chameen of the North Atlantic fleet!" bellows an official announcer. Follow six vicious rounds in a tarred rope circle, decks sanded for blood as of old. But it's most fun to trade with another nation. In Cherbourg some years ago ten tarry Poilus visited the flagship as a committee to invite the crews of American men-of-war to a Christmas celebration ashore. There was no volunteering. All hands knew the fun to come. Lots had to be drawn. On the gala night two-hundred husky descendants of Lafayette's "cheres anis" lined the Cherbourg quay and lockstepped up to the town hall. A giant Christmas tree stood at one end. Constellations of colored candles sparkled through its branches from top to bottom. Under each candle hung a package, one gift for each guest. “S-h-h-h.” A French host held up his hand. “Dear friends, it is beautiful this night that you should be joyful with us. Now,” pointing gracefully toward the tree, “shall we have the presents?” The brief speech was well said. But unfortunately it was in French, a language not commonly spoken in our great navy. And unfortunately one of them started forward. Instant action resulted. The Yankees charged. They swept the tree from its moorings. They swept it through the great hall's after window, in a roaring rolllicking mob they swept it down the street and into their waiting boats. Call it rude and rowdy. Sniff and turn away. You're wrong. That was the grandest example of resource and initiative some of us will ever know. JACOB JONES JOHN PAUL, don't they mean?" said everyone when the U. S. S. Jacob Jones was sunk. No, there was no mistake. This destroyer was named after another naval hero nearly a generation younger than the illustrious founder of our navy. "Jiggy," as our friends are said to have called him, had an extraordinary career. His education was unique in that he began as a doctor, shifted to law, and finally showed his good sense by joining the navy. He was first heard of near Smyrna, Delaware, in 1768 where his feverish father was prancing up and down the front porch taking two to one money on Jake's being twins or a girl. After 31 years of the hardships of civil life he entered naval life as a midshipman. His first ship was the frigate United States on which he served in the French war and learned how to dodge cannon balls and scurvy. In 1803 he transferred to the Philadelphia in time to get in the Barbary pirates' row. Ignominiously the vessel grounded in the harbor of Tripoli and Jiggy became a prisoner of war. After 20 months in the jug he was released. On his return and after he had blown in all the money he had on the books, he put in a placid cruise in southern waters on the "Adams" and on the "Argus." In 1810 he became skipper of the "Wasp." First crack out of the box he captured the brig "Dolphin" and not long afterward the British warship "Frolic." The latter engagement was pretty much of a brawl and Jiggy's ship got all cut up. But as luck would have it the enemy's 74-gun "Polictiers" butted in at this moment and captured our hero and his captives as well. He was paroled in Bermuda where he put on a great deal of flesh while waiting for a chance to make some more history. For some years afterward he fooled about with several big ships without having any great opportunity to distinguish himself. Finally he took the "Macedonian" to the Mediterranean but was captured by an Algerine brig and for the fourth time cast into a dungeon. After peace was declared he commanded the Mediterranean squadron, ran a navy yard, and had other miscellaneous jobs. He topped off by being commandant of the naval asylum in Philadelphia, which was the most miscellaneous job of all. He died in 1852 at the age of 82 and was buried with appropriate honors in the Brandywine cemetery, Wilmington. Bagpipes, now identified with Scotland only, were at one time universal throughout Europe.

PAGE FOUR SHOTGUNS AND RIFLES USED BY BLACKS AND WHITES—TROOPS CALLED Independence, Kans., Jan. 6.—One white man is known to have been killed and two wounded, possibly fatally, as a result of a race riot which broke out here shortly before 7 o'clock at night on December 16. Two Negroes are believed to have been killed, according to announcement by Chief of Police E. H. Hall, who stated at 9:40 p. m. that the situation was under control. Shortly after 9 p. m. Chief of Police Hall announced that request had been sent to Topeka urging that the national guardsmen be sent here. Members of the home guard and of the local post of the American Legion turned out to assist in quelling the disorder. The trouble started with the slaying of a white grocer, R. R. Wharton, who was killed in his store early in the morning by a Negro, who escaped with about $300. Shortly afterward the alarm was spread and hundreds of men gathered hurriedly, some of them armed, to seek for the robber. The search kept up for hours without any definite results. Race feeling was stirred up by the insistence of the searchers in trying to find the slayer of Wharton in the houses of other Negroes. Various minor clashes resulted from the aggressiveness of the man hunt and open violence broke out in the evening. Shots were fired in many of the streets and houses were punctured with bullets, the struggle becoming more violent with each succeeding volley. All sorts of weapons were brought into play by both sides and the streets were lighted by the flashes of firearms, while men and even women and children rushed through the thoroughfares in the Negro quarter fighting and shouting. At 9 o'clock the fighting had extended in some cases outside the city limits with the whites in pursuit of Negroes. The Negroes seemed to have few firearms and rushed about in panic, seeking to escape. Reports to the police, however, indicated that the Negroes had fired on the whites in several instances. Most of the population of Independence, which has 13,000 inhabitants, obeyed the orders of the police to remain in their homes to avoid stirring up further trouble. (By the Associated Negro Press.) The year 1920 will go down in history as one of great business advancement among Negroes. The opening of individual lines of business and the establishment of gigantic corporations have increased the activities of the commercial world to magnificent proportions. Scores of new corporations have been formed in every section of the country, and a number of them have been able to announce the subscription and actual paying in of $100,000.00, $200,000.00 and even more in good United States money, for the promotion of various enterprises, manufacturing, insurance, banking, building and other lines. A $1,000,000 banking combination corporation, in which leading Negroes in the banking and business world are interested, to be opened in New York, has recently been announced. The people of our group are enthusiastic about the opportunities offered in employment and executive positions for our capable trained men and women. The outlook for 1921 is indeed most encouraging. Co-operation brings success. American Negroes have learned this great lesson, and nothing can separate us in unity of purpose. The greatest strides for 1921 promise to be commercial, but there it not the slightest disposition anywhere to sacrifice anything political. The cry of the Race is: "We must all work together and we will get somewhere." By no claims of logic or reason can the Race see why all others should be granted all things, while we are denied. Aroused to a thoroughly thinking standard, it cannot be seen why we should make others wealthy while we remain poor. As a great throng we are functioning, and we expect to forge ahead! RAISING DEFENSE FUND MARSHING DEFENSE FUND (By The Associated Negro Press). Boston, Mass., Dec. 10—Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, new president of the National Equal Rights League, has begun a tour of the middle west for the purpose of acquainting the people with the plans of the organization, in the flight of the League against discrimination and injustice. A strong defense fund is being raised. Dr. Shaw is one of the leading orators of the Race, and is speaking under the direction of the national organizer, Rev. H. B. Mayes, Evansville, Ind. The Equal Rights League has sent a letter to Oswald G. Villard, organizer of the committee of one hundred investigating Irish troubles, urging that the committee also extend to "the assaults and killing of unhappy Americans of African extraction." Navy Tales By a Lieutenant in the United States Navy Copyright by George Macmillan & Co. THERE is a certain warship skipper who calls attention to the spreading gray about his temples. Not that he is proud of this mark of age, but because it runs no further than his ears. "My gray hairs stop," he explains, "because I always know just when to stop worrying." His friends, however, "have one on him." "Twas the submarine bell that got the placid skipper's goat. This gadget—as we say in the navy, meaning thingumbob—is a device for transmitting sound signals under water. Large lightships such as Nantucket have a heavy bell suspended deep in the water. By an automatic device a clapper strikes at regular intervals. Each bell along the coast has its characteristic interval and number of strokes. All large ships and men-of-war are fitted with receivers for capturing the sound waves set up under water by these bells. In the outer bottom is a small box filled with water and containing a very sensitive diaphragm which vibrates in tune with the bell. Through telephonic connection one may catch the signals from the bridge or any other part of the ship. Since the receivers are on each side sound comes most distinctly when the bell is nearly on the beam. From four to five miles is the average limit of range. One thick March morning our self-contained friend was approaching New York. Though he was well off-shore the soupy fog made him anxious about his landfall. Putting his submarine telephone to his ear he suddenly heard the clear note of a bell. "That's queer." he exclaimed. "We oughtn't to be anywhere near the lightship yet." He swung the battleship about in order to find which heading blotted out the sound. In this way he could obtain an approximate bearing of the lightship. But the bell kept on. It played regular chimes, increasing and decreasing. To the consternation of the skipper he was unable to determine either the distance, direction, or character of the crazy thing. "Can it be some new kind of 'enemy infernal machine?' he wondered. He became frantic. He cursed the navigator, the lightship, the officer-of-the-deck; and then all ships and bells and officers. In a final paroxysm of anxiety he sent someone to investigate his receiving box in the double bottoms. Which disclosed a single happy whistling busy bluejacket, chipping paint. And every time the sailor struck the bulkhead his signal carried direct to the perplexed bridge gang. MACHINERY INSPECTOR AN EXPLORER will return to the drear loneliness of the wilderness. A convict free will find himself strangely longing for the bitterness of captivity. So strong is the hold environment can take on the soul of a man. On a ship in the fleet served a good seagoling chief engineer. But he had been at sea too long. He was growing stale. So he asked for shore duty. He was transferred to a huge steel mill where government contracts were filled. For two years he was to hear the hum of lathe and scraper instead of the pound and the wheeze of his own engines. Instead of the intermittent roar of the turreted guns he was to be half-deafened by the more steady belching of gigantic blast furnaces. His title was Naval Inspector of Machinery. A superdreadnaught was launched. The inspector supervised the installation of her mighty engines. His responsibility increased up to the day of her trials. On this day a board of inspection and survey came down in full regalia to hold official tests of the new war baby. The inspector met the big bugs in proper form, but he didn't look happy. Perhaps it was the sheaf of papers and records he produced that filled him full of gloom. For instance there were the weight tables for parts and fittings and auxillaries and full boilers as well as empty ones; it may have been his long monotonous report comparing the finished product to the original specifications. The machinery inspector was gray and weary. Facts and figures had begun to get on his nerves. Indoor work had stolen his tan. And when he guided the trial board through their duties in trying out the newest of our men-of-war he realized he'd had enough shore duty. "Guess I'll put in for the fleet again," he declared. "I don't seem to do so well here." He was wrong. Few inspectors before him had been his equal. The truth was the old, old truth: He was home-sick for the heave of a plated deck, the swish of olly bilges, and a salt breath out of the starboard hatch. So "slave of the sea" is the right name after all. Most people would rather reform others than be put through the painful operation of being reformed.

Christmas Party Among the events of the holiday season was a beautiful Christmas party given by Miss Dorothy Lewin at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Geo. Strelen, 810 South Montezuma street. The house was profusely decorated with holiday colors of red and green. The table was artistically arranged with a centerpiece of a mount of snow, surrounded by real poinsettias. Covers were laid for twenty-eight which were marked by hand painted place cards. Some beautiful selections were rendered by Claudine Hoye, Georgia Rosser and Louise Scott. The guest list included: Misses Levenia and Erma McLindon, Claudine Hoye, Hartance and Odessa Allen, Georgia Rosser, Louise and Viola Scott, Emily Smith, Masters Raymond Bell, Byron Rumford, Theodore Mangam, Howlett Smith, Chaucey Zumford, Clarence Tumlin, Ralph Jones, Walter Smith, Mrs. Geo. Strelen, Miss A. R. Oby and the hostess. Mothers Entertained The New Year's dinner given by Mrs. Day for the mothers was a beautiful affair. The appropriate color scheme of purple and white was artistically carried out even to the table cover. The centerpiece was a purple vase filled with sweet peas of the two colors, and as the guests entered the dining room each was presented with a bouquet of violets. Covers were laid for fifteen and the sumptuous dinner of turkey with dressing, mashed potatoes, creamed peas, cranberries, olives, celery, hot rolls, coffee, salad, pie a la mode and fruit cake, was certainly enjoyed. It reminded one of a family reunion and a happier crowd has never met. Each declared Mrs. Day an ideal hostess and wished her many blessings for her thoughtfulness, while others congratulated her for entertaining those worthy ladies so highly. Sunday, January 2, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Grubb of 201 North Ninth street entertained with one of the most delightful dinners of the season. The writer would like to name all the palatable dishes served, but is unable to do so and will only tell of the big turkey and all that goes with it, which were served as a "starter." The remainder of the dinner consisted of five courses and all enjoyed themselves to the highest. Among those to enjoy this elaborate spread were: Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Pace, Mr. and Mrs. Mrs. White Is Hostess A grand dinner was given Tuesday at 2:20 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. White in honor of Mr. Thos. Henry, the father of Mrs. Jas. L. Wynne, whose home is Columbus. Miss. Mr. Henry said he has never enjoyed a dinner better in the history of his 70 years, or treated more royal. An Opossum Dinner It remained for Mr. Tom Trice of 703 East Jefferson street to break the monotony of turkey dinners during the Christmas holidays. On December 29 he invited a few friends to his home and treated them to a real 'possum and sweet potato dinner. The opossum was sent as a Xmas gift from Mr. Trice's daughter in Missouri. She wanted to be sure that he would have enough to treat all his friends and packed two large fat 'possums in the box. The animals were prepared by a lady who knew all about the art of cooking 'possums, and Mr. Trice said that it could not have been prepared any, better had he done it himself. Among the invited guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Woody Washington of Arkansas, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Trice of Missouri, Mr. and Mrs. Farris, little Tom Trice and his father. All declared this the best dinner on the Christmas calendar and were loud in their praise of the host. Rally Fourth Sunday On the fourth Sunday in January the trustees of Tanner Chapel will hold a rally for the purpose of raising money to pay the street assessment which is now past due. All men are asked to contribute $2 and the ladies $1. If all do their lit, the trustees will go over the top in grand style. Antioch Baptist Church Great services were conducted last Sunday at Antioch Baptist church, and pastor C. A. Gilmore was at his best. Two excellent sermons were delivered and all were made to rejoice. The attendance was large and the collections good. Mr. Gardiner Recovered Mr. Fred Gardiner who a few weeks ago was seriously ill with pneumonia has fully recovered and is now able to resume his duties. Mr. Bell Improves Mr. Ennis Bell of 446 East Madison street, who the past few weeks has been confined to his home with illness, is improving and hopes soon to be able to resume his work at the city hall. Mrs. Bell also has been on the sick list, but is now quite well. Second Baptist Church On last Sunday the services at the Second Baptist church were well attended and the pastor. Rev. E. D. Greene, delivered two strong sermons. The spirit ran high. Spring Hats On Display Madam O. G. Howard, proprietor of the Mary Frances Elite Shop, 17 South Fifth avenue, is showing some wonderful creations in ladies' spring hats.

Young People's Meeting The Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor met Sunday evening at 6 o'clock at the A. M. E. church and some interesting topics were discussed. Mrs. Fannie Farlice was the leader and her application of the lesson was beautiful. Next Sunday Mr. Frank Lewis will be the leader and the subject for discussion is, "Helpful Bible Passages." Meeting hours from 6:15 to 7:30. Invitation extended the public. Again We Say Patronize Tribune advertisers and you can't go wrong. Mr. Taft has defended the Jews without giving them advice. Verily, while there is life there is hope. The difference between the leader of a "movement" and the leader of a race, is the difference between the measure of an inch and the distance of a mile.
