$200,000 PURSE OFFERED FOR DEMPSEY-WILLS BOUT Vol. IV. No. 46 GOVERNMENT LOST $1,500.000 IN REFUSAL FORD'S OFFER, AVERS (Associated Negro Press) Florence, Ala., Feb. 3. — Charges that the federal government had lost approximately $1,500,000 in the last six months by "not accepting Henry Ford's offer to lease the dam and operate the nitrate plants at Muscle Shoals were made here last Friday before meeting of the southern group members of the American Farm Bureau Federation by Gray Silver, their Washington representative. Mr. Ford's offer, Mr. Silver said, was made to Secretary Weeks on July 8 last and will be transmitted in its latest form, according to the secretary some time next week. In addition to Mr. Ford's offer, several other offers for Muscles Shoals have been made, Mr. Silver asserted, adding, but the secretary has admitted that none of them compare with Mr. Ford's or even can be considered seriously. Further, Mr. Ford's offer has been published to the world for months and yet Secretary Weeks has delayed sending the offer with his recommendation to congress, thereby encouraging other bidders to revise their bids. Mr. Silver declared that when Mr. Ford tells the farmers he can make at Muscle Shoals the cheap high grade fertilizer they need "the farmers are ready to take that statement at 100 per cent. One half of the agricultural states of America were represented at the conference which was attended by delegates from the cotton, corn and wheat section. First hand information will be obtained in connection with the physical property of the government at Muscle Shoals and study made of its possible development with relation to American agriculture according to the program. Co-operative marketing of major crops will be among the important questions before the conference. Community marketing of local products and collective purchasing also will be discussed as will development of the live stock industry of the south. NOTED EDUCATOR PASSES TO REWARD NOTED EDUCATOR PASSES TO REWARD (Associated Negro Press) Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 3. — J. W.

He recently had been recommended to President Harding for appointment as minister to Haiti and was recognized as a scholar of ability.

When the advertisement of a business firm is carried in the Tribune, it not only serves as an announcement of the special prices 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 LOS ANGELES By Mrs. Gladys White-Walthall Members of the Colored group in Los Angeles should appreciate the fact that at last there will be a Colored drama production by one of our own. Mrs. Noah D. Thompson has written a thriller, and Mr. Frank Egan, a white theatrical manager and producer of many years' experience, has engaged thirty-five of the most gifted young Colored people of this city and is having them trained under a brilliant and nationally known stage director. The Walker theater in South Grand avenue near 7th street, has been leased and announcement made to the public, that these actors and actresses will be featured in a Negro play—Africanus. Mrs. R. C. Crump of Chicago, is in our city visiting friends. She is a sister-in-law of Mr. Wm. P. Crump, produce merchant of Phoenix, Arlz. Mrs. Holden, wife of Rev. Holden, has been ill for several weeks, but is improving. Mrs. W. B. Hudspeth has returned to Los Angeles after spending several days in Phoenix, Arizona, where she was called on account of the death of her brother, Jesse McCloud. The grim reaper removed one of the most prominent figures of our race in Los Angeles, and one of the most widely known men of his time, when it took from our midst William H. Shores, better known as "Dad" Shores. Mr. Shores passed away last week and the whole community, from the little urchin on the street, to the men and women of prominence, were shocked when the news became generally known. For the past thirty-three years Mr. Shores had been an employee of the Security Bank. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Sarah P. Shores, four children and four grandchildren. Mrs. Albert Chism has arranged her social calendar of entertainments from February 2nd to April. On February 2nd, Mr. Chism will give a colonial party at their palatial home in honor of Mrs. Chism's birthday anniversary. On March 10th, Mrs. Chism will entertain with an informal dance at her home in honor of her sister, Mrs. H. W. Garrett, of Phoenix, Arizona. During April a tea will be given in honor of Mrs. Rena Moore Dickens, an Arizona bride. The Rev. James Washington, presiding elder of the Los Angeles district for the A. M. E. church, and who several years ago was pastor of Tanner Chapel A. M. E. church in Phoenix, Arizona, wishes to be remembered to his many friends there and wants them to know that he often makes inquiries about them. To Mrs. Charles Jackson goes the credit for the most popular and successful amateur theatrical of the season. Giving personal mention to every person appearing in the cast, would require more space than can be afforded. It is the consensus of opinion that Lottie B. Anderson and Vivian Campbell played to a tie in the faecial comedy roles, where Fay Jackson and Ruth Lee got the drill wit and humor honors. Louise (Pete) Beavers, the heavyweight champion of the amateur theatrical, has always been popular as a comedienne. Inez Robinson was at her best in "Alice Blue Gown." Obelia Tul in her rendition of "Lil Gal"; Thelma Jamison in Sweetheart with Fay Jackson; Roberta Dudly was at her best in "Daddy"; Zewbia Frierson as Mrs. Wafer in "The Wrong Baby." A show within itself, the Bilbrew quartette was loudly acclaimed the height of female harmony. Their most successful number being—"Home Again Blues." Mrs. Viva Wickliffe of Salt Lake City, is spending a few weeks with her daughter, Mrs. Marile Vena in Michigan avenue. Mrs. Geo. White of 1607 Central avenue, has been indisposed for several days.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA,SATURDAY, BEBRUARY 4, 1922 The Colored people are Tucson are delighted to have Miss Ella Greer of 136 W. Jackson street with us again. Miss Greer has spent several months in Chicago and on returning to Tucson, reports a very pleasant stay in the windy city. She also completed a course in hairdressing and beauty culture and will open an establishment here. A brilliant birthday party was given Friday evening, January 27, by Mrs. Fannie Rewen at her home, 428 E. 8th street, in honor of her daughter, Miss Josie Rewin's birthday anniversary. This was one of the most delightful social affairs of the season and many were the invited guests. After the chicken salad and other dainty refreshments had been served and enjoyed, some of the guests amused themselves at cards while others tripped the light fantastic until the wee sma' hours of the morning. Miss Rewen was the recipient of many valuable presents. We hope that she may live long and that we may again be invited to one of her parties. Tucson is blessed this winter in that we have with us about 1500 ex-service men. Many of these men are healthseekers, having lost their health overseas during the world war. We are glad to report these men among the more thoughtful members of our group as many of them are buying and beautifying homes. Only a few days ago Mr. Tolton Taylor and his good wife purchased a fine six-room house in 17 street, between 2nd and 3rd avenues. Fortunately for Mr. Taylor he succeeded in getting a house with all modern conveniences and it was completely furnished. Rev. P. B. Cornelius is still on the sick list, but was able to fill his pulpit last Sunday evening. He delivered a wonderful sermon and all were benefitted thereby. The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Jones, corner 7th avenue and 5th street, is truly a place of sunshine and happiness. It is made so because of the wonderful improvement in the health of their daughter, Mrs. Christina Blakely, coupled with the divine blessing bestowed upon them in the birth of a fine baby boy which came to Mrs. Blakely as a Christmas gift. The baby is growing and doing fine. On the sick list this week are James Kyle, Mr. and Mrs. H. Banks, Mrs. E. M. Greer, Mrs. J. Humphrey and Mrs. Sarah White. We are glad to say that all are improving. Members of Successful Chapter, O. E. S., were royally entertained last Wednesday by Mrs. Dennie Jones at Everybody's Cafe. The Eastern Star ladies and their friends said that Mrs. Jones was a real live wire and a member who knows how to do things 91 YEARS OLD BLACK WOMAN IS PLACED ON GOVT. PENSION ROLL Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 3.—Aunt Jane Robertson, a 91 year old Colored woman of this city, is the first woman of her race to be voted a pension and to have her named placed on the confederate pension roll by the general assembly of North Carolina. Her husband was killed at the battle of Manassas. with their many Los Angeles friends, had the time of their young lives. Christmas morning was the happiest time of all. The house was artistically decorated in holiday colors and a huge Xmas tree stood in the center of the room. The Jones girls were the recipients of a beautiful Blue Bird Victrola, a gift from her mother, and many other presents from admiring friends. Miss Hester was honor guest at many delightful affairs while in the city and she declares that her stay was indeed a pleasant one. Miss Hester left last week for her home in Fresno, and stated that in the early spring she and her mother would come to Los Angeles to reside. "WE ORIGINATE --- OTHERS IMITATE" ENTIRE MOB CAUGHT BY OKLAHOMA SHERIFF SENTENCED TO PRISON (Associated Negro Press) Oklahoma City, Okla., Feb. 3.—Lynch received a set back here at home last week. Five men, two of them Negroes, were sentenced to life imprisonment when they pleaded guilty today to charges of complicity in lynching Jake Brooks, Negro. The trial was one of the speediest in the history of the state. Governor Robertson, who has won a reputation for defending law and order was active in seeing justice done. The white men are Lee Whitley, Elmer Yeartal, striking members of the Butcher Workmen's Union, and Charles Polk, a union sympathizer. The Negroes are Robert Allen, cousin of Brooks, and Nathan Butler, also union men. Allen made a clean breast of the atrocity at the county jail last Sunday to state and county authorities. He related in detailed every incident of the crime from the time the five lynchers left headquarters of the Butcher Workmen's Union on Exchange avenue in Packingtown until they returned to the union hall after swinging the Negro on a limb six miles southeast of the city less than a hundred yards from the Grand Boulevard. Occasional acts of violence which marked the strike of packing employees beginning Monday, December 5 reached the climax Saturday night when Brooks, a Negro employed at the Wilson plant, was taken from his home at 1805 East Fourth street by two motor carloads of strikers, sprited away to an isolated spot southeast of the Capitol Hill district and hung from the limb of a large tree. Brooks, who had been ill, was sitting at the supper table with his wife and little daughter when the lynching party arrived. Two white men, their hats pulled down to shade their faces knocked at the door. Brook's little daughter answered. "Does Jake Brooks live here?" she was asked. She replied he did. The two men, revolvers drawn, forced their way into the house and seized Brooks. "Nathan Butler turned you in," one of the men said. "We are going to fix you up right." Brooks was forced into one of the motor cars. The party sped away. Brooks was never seen until the following Tuesday when his body was seen swinging from the tree by B. A. Reed, 1005 East Fifth street. Sheriff Ben Dancy started an investigation of Brook's disappearance early Sunday after Brook's wife reported that the police refused to go outside of the city to search for her husband. The discovery of Brook's body brought about a tense situation which resulted in an appeal being made for the institution of martial law. Governor Robertson offered a reward of $2,000 for the apprehension and conviction of the lynchers. A reward of $500 for each of the party was offered by the Chamber of Commerce. Nathan Butler, another Negro, implicated by Allen's confession, and Allen was arrested by Dancy's order the Sunday after Brook's disappearance. They were released but were shadowed by deputy sheriffs in hope of obtaining information. The day brook's body was discovered, Allen and Butler were arrested by the city police. Dancy ordered the men brought to the county jail, where he questioned them. Deputy sheriffs immediately began to make additional arrests. A total of twenty-five arrests were made. The men were held in separate cells and questioned. Thursday Allen confessed to Dancy. He declared he would have told about the lynching the day after it occurred but that he feared that his life would be taken by the strikers. "The men out there (referring to Packingtown) would get me if I told," Allen said to Sheriff Dancy. "They told me the night they hung Brooks Sgt. and Mrs. E. Van Cooper entertained at dinner last week. Covers were laid for Sgt. and Mrs. E. Harris, Cpl. and Mrs. Hutchins, Mrs. E. H. Gibson and Miss R. Teal. Mrs. Boyd returned last week from an extensive visit at her home back east. Election of officers of 24th Infantry Woman's Club was held with following results: Mrs. M. Brooks, president Mrs. Z.

COLORED MAN WINS HIS FIGHT AGAINST EXTRADITION, AVERS COLORED MAN WINS HIS FIGHT AGAINST EXTRADITION, AVERS (Associated Negro Press) Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 3. —Matthew Bullock, Colored, of North Carolina, has won his fight to avoid deportation to the United States to face trial for inciting to riot. Announcement that the fugitive might remain in Canada was made recently by Charles Stewart, minister of the interior and immigration. After a cabinet meeting, Mr. Stewart said Bullock would be freed at once by the immigration authorities at Hamilton, Ont., where he has been confined. After listening to Mr. Stewart's analysis of the legal points involved, the cabinet council ruled in Bullock's favor, basing its decision on the fact that he had proved an exemplary citizen of Ontario, even through he may have evaded the immigration laws in coming into the country. that they would hang me too if I told. They all took an oath not to say anything about the hanging." Immediately after Allen confessed George S. Short, assistant attorney general, Forrest Hughes, county attorney, were called to the county jail. They continued the questionng of men held. All but the six implicated by Allen were released Sunday. Allen has lost more than forty pounds since his confession. His clothes hang about his body in folds. All night he alternately cries and prays, Luther Bishop, jailer said, when Sheriff Dancy is near. Allen follows him like a shadow, evidently deriving a sense of security from the nearness of the sheriff. "They is going to get me sheriff," he cries unexpectedly. "They told me they would hang me if I told. Don't you let them get me Mr. Dancy." Colored citizens of Oklahoma City praised the attitude of the governor and officials. Roscoe Dundee, editor of the Black Dispatch, executed a coup when he secured a picture of the hanging body and sent copies to President Harding, the Oklahoma delegation in congress and 200 copies to Representative Dyer who is pushing the anti-lynch law. Mrs. E. Edwards of Dallas, Tex. is visiting her daughter, Mrs. G. Stone in 10 North 11th Street. PRESCOTT Prescott is enjoying a two-foot white blanket, a constant downpour of snow flakes and misty rain, mixed with fine hail, bringing us back to days of yore. Many of the newcomers from the warm parts of the country are amazed and everywhere men are shoveling snow. This means the salvation of Yavayai county. The program rendered at the People's A M. E. Zion church given by Mrs. Oliver Bess was a glowing success. Many of the talented folks of the city taking part. The house was crowded and a nice amount was realized for the pastor's salary. The U.

This is very encouraging. Mrs. F. H. Alexander does beautiful dyeing and repair work as well as being an expert in cutting and making. Many good things should be said of Mrs. Alexander for the spirit and charity exhibited from time to time. That is just what this community needs, more women like Mrs. Alexander, doing things not dreaming of them. Mrs. F. H. Delany entertained Saturday evening, serving dainty refreshments as only Mrs. Delany is capable of serving. Card games were main features. All reported a great time.

COLORED MAN GIVEN THIRTY FIVE YEARS FOR MURDER OF GIRL (Associated Negro Press) (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Feb. 3.—James Calloway, 35 years old, in the county hospital in custody since October, was sentenced to serve thirty-five years in the penitentiary by Chief Justice John J. Sullivan of the superior court. Calloway pleaded guilty to the murder of Edith Nesbit, whom he shot following an argument on the night of October 27, 1921, in a vacant lot near 33rd street and Wentworth avenue. Calloway is Colored and the Nesbit girl was white. Calloway attempted to kill himself after killing the girl. One of the bullets he fired hit him 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year S BOUT $200,000 OFFERED FOR DEMPSEY-WILLS BOUT BY PROMOTER BRADY New York, Feb. 3.—It begins to look more and more like a Dempsey-Wills match every day, Harry Newman wired the Tribune. Along comes Billy Brady, famed theatrical manager, with the announcement that he stands ready to offer a purse of $200,000 for Dempsey and Wills to do some boxing for the heavyweight championship of the world. Brady is no stranger to the fistic game, having during his long public career managed such great fighters as Jim Corbett and Jim Jeffries. Brady is sincere in the belief that there is a public demand for a match between the colored champion and the big Utah mauler. The offer of $200,000 he thinks, is much more than Dempsey could hope to gather for a return battle with Georges Carpentier, which has been suggested for London next summer. A match was made the other day which may lead up to a definite arrangement for the Wills-Dempsey contest. Tex Rickard signed up Wills and Kid Norfolk to do battle in the garden for fifteen rounds on Thursday, March 2. No doubt the winner of this bout will be selected as the logical candidate to oppose Dempsey for the proposed big match. Rickard announced after completing the necessary details for the Norfolk-Wills bout that he might revise his opinion about a mixed match and that if the public desired it he would be very glad to have Dempsey matched with the winner of the Norfolk-Wills bout. Tate's Manager Speaks Chicago, Feb. 3.—When informed a few nights ago that New York promoters were bidding on a match between Dempsey and Wills, Kid Howard, manager of Bill Tate, Colored heavyweight champion, spouted right out loud. "Bill Tate is colored heavyweight champion of the world by virtue of a win over Wills in Portland, Oregon, recently," the Kid said, "and should have first consideration when it comes to a mixed match for the championship. Tate can whip Wills anytime they step into the ring and, regardless of my man's connection with the Dempsey camp on various occasions, he would give a tiptop account of himself with the champion. "Tate's victory over Wills has given the big fellow the confidence he lacked before. He is ripe for the big show and as manager of the colored heavyweight champion, I contend that he should be given the first chance if Dempsey agrees to a mixed match." just below the heart. He has been in the county hospital since his arrest. He pleaded today that he remembered nothing about the shooting.

ORGANIZATION AND CO-OPERATION things are sadly lacking among our peopleization and co-operation. Occasionally, we but lack of co-operation on the part of th Two things are sadly lacking among our people, and they are—organization and co-operation. Occasionally, we succeed in organizing, but lack of co-operation on the part of the members, soon disrupts the body. Now, we are Fifty nine years removed from slavery, and it is high time for us to lay aside imaginary wrongs, petty grievances, bickerings, jealousies and what nots, unite our forces under a sane leadership and work for the elevation and advancement of the masses. Until this is done, we will never amount to anything as a race. Before we shall be able to successfully form organizations and work together on a co-operative plan, we must first cultivate race pride. You should be proud of your race, and no one who feels otherwise, is fit to be a member of our organizations. If you imagine that you are too good to mingle with your own people, except in the capacity of a self-styled leader, it will be better for the race that you remain outside. We are taught that harmony is the support of all institutions, so, there must be absolute harmony within our organizations if they are to survive. In order for harmony to prevail, we must acknowledge and recognize true leadership. All can not lead, neither can the blind lead the blind successfully. The one best qualified to lead should be chosen and given wholehearted support. Beware of the individual who wants to put himself up as leader. Nine times out of ten, he is the least fitted for leadership. Aside from his other qualifications, one of the most pronounced characteristics of the true leader is his modesty. All modest people are not leaders, but all successful leaders possess a degree of modesty. Now a word about co-operation. Organization means coming together and co-operation means working together. It is an Herculean undertaking to bring our people together and it is next to impossible to get them to work together after having been organized. The writer has always held that our greatest neither can the blind lead the blind successfully. The one best need is not getting together, but, in working together. It is easy enough to hitch a team to a load, but the difficulty arises when you attempt to make them pull that load. So it is with us. We stand hitched and absolutely refuse to pull when commanded. If we pull at all it is usually the wrong way. The last census report places the colored population in Arizona at 8,000 souls. Fully five thousand of these individuals are qualified voters, and we rise to inquire what part they intend to play in the coming election. Five thousand votes thrown one way, together with others who are supporting a proposition or party, would swing an election. Just as soon as the registration books open, go and register so that you will have a vote. It does not matter how much land you own or how many automobiles you possess, unless you register you can not vote. When the candidates have been announced, The Tribune will take a decided stand for what we believe to be right and best for the race. Oklahoma sets the pace by apprehending and convicting members of a mob. Five white and two colored men have been sentenced to life imprisonment for lynching Jake Brooks, a colored man of Oklahoma City on the night of January 14. This is the first time in the history of the United States that members of a mob have been convicted of crime. The broad-minded Governor of Okahloma, who took the case in charge and offered $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of members of the mob, deserves much praise and his name will go down in history as one of the greatest Governors Oklahoma ever had. The collapse of the Knickerbocker theatre in Washington, D. C., with its great toll of human lives, has cast a pall of gloom over the entire United States. It is to be regretted that so many lives were snuffed out without a moment's warning, and if the Senate investigation discloses that greed on the part of the owners was responsible for the disaster, no mercy should be shown them. Soon all the mines in Arizona will be running at top speed and the big smelters going night and day. This will mean employment for a large army of men and a pay roll that will be staggering. Better times are just around the corner and our pessimistic friends are due to experience a rude awakening. The outlook is very optimistic, to say the least. Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.—Scripture. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING ROW IN BAPTIST CHURCH RESULTS IN DEATH OF MEMBER CURCH BOARD ROW IN BAPTIST CHURCH RESULTS IN DEATH OF MEMBER CURCH BOARD (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Feb. 3.—Beaten over the head with heavy walking canes by James Jackson and Joseph Burke, Saturday evening, William Bush a trustee of the Florida Avenue Baptist church died at Freedman's hospital early Sunday morning. His assailants who were not members of the congregation, are locked up under charge of murder. It appears that sometime ago Burke and Jackson were read out of the congregation. The case went to court where they were ordered reinstated. In a higher court, however, the church was sustained in ejecting them. When they appeared at the church Saturday night and demanded admission to a church meeting, Trustee Bush refused them. Then, it is alleged, Burke attacked but was bested by Bush. Jackson is said to have come to the rescue. The two overpowered Bush and inflicted serious wounds with their heavy canes. Bush rushed to the residence of Attorney Armand W. Scott for advice. He was sent to Dr. Cook who treated him and advised him to go to Freedman's hospital at once. Early Sunday morning, Bush died in the hospital. He was'a quiet, unassuming and respectable member of the community, having a coal and ice business in S. street. He leaves a widow.

Mr. Mills has been very successful this year in organizing the new Colored posts, and putting the old ones into shape in this state. He is now ready to start the new year off with a membership roll that will be fighting from the jump. He is a noted speaker and it has been his greatest ambition to get the colored ex-service men to consolidate themselves by organizing a local post. Every Legion post should have a ladies auxiliary, and many of the posts have at the present. The local Colored post needs one, and those that are eligible to join the auxiliary are the wives, mothers, daughters and sisters. Information on this matter can be obtained by getting in touch with the Colored post here or department headquarters, capitol building.

C., Feb. 3. — The students of Howard University had the privilege of listening to Mr. Roger W. Babson, president of the Babson's Statistical Organization, Wellesley Hills, Mass., with branch offices in London and several American cities, Thursday, January 26, 1922, at the noon exercises held in the university chapel. Among the interesting things which Mr. Babson called to the attention of the students in the course of his address was his explanation of what he called the "Six T's of Success."—Industry, Integrity, Initiative, Intelligence, Intensity, and Interest. Mr. Babson made a very interesting explanation of the "Six I's of Success to the students assembled at the noon-day exercises. "Industry, the first 'T of success," Mr. Babson stated, "means hard work. But Industry is not sufficient in itself another quality must be added which is Integrity, the second 'T of success. Then one may have these two and not be successful, he must add another 'T which is Intelligence. Even these three are not sufficient; one must have Initiative, the fourth 'T of success. But there must also be Intensity in one's efforts which is the fifth 'T of success. Then, with all these there must be Interest the sixth 'T of success." Mr. Babson was invited to speak to the student body of the Howard University by President J. Stanley Durkee. His interesting and practical remarks received the applause of both faculty and students of the university. Mrs. Caldwell Indisposed Friends of Mrs. Geo. W.

DIAMOND CONTEST IS GROWING MORE AND MORE INTERESTING The Diamond Contest is growing warm and it is hard to tell just who will wear that dazzling beauty. Tucson is in the lead now, but we fear that Los Angeles is going to outdistance her. Columbus is not to be trifled with, and Phoenix is a logical contender, while all had better keep their eyes on the unbeatable Prescott. The race is very exciting and there is no lack of interest on the part of contestants. The race is not given to the swift, but will be won by the persistent solicitor. Presistency wins—every time and in every case. Next week we expect to see a new leader in the contest. It is well worth the effort, ladies, and we delight to see you struggle for supremacy. Keep it up. May the best solicitor win. Mrs. Green Indisposed Friends of Mrs. J. A. Green will regret to learn that she is confined to her home this week on account of illness.
