PROMINENT WOMAN OF RACE ATTENDS ELECTION OF POPE
(Special to the Tribune)
Rome, Italy.—From Lenox avenue St. Peter's Square is no mean distance for one to travel. At the one end, scores of representatives of a darker race may be seen moving to and fro about their business, in and out their homes and shops, contributing their mite to making New York the nation's busiest city: Rome, Italy, with St. Peter's Square, the other end is without the thousands of members of the Negro race. At least representatives of this growing group are not often found within confines of the holy city. True, that now and then black faces are numbered among the myriad complexions that pass before the Vatican. Even black men have enjoyed the splendors of ancient Rome, the quaint canals of Venice, and the picturesque Naples Bay, perchance, basked in Italian sunlight endured the horrors of Vesuvius' eruptions, but as a usual thing, Italy Rome and St. Peter's Square, which fronts St. Peters Cathedral, are without representatives of the Negro race and surely without him from the U. S. A. In fact, they are curiosities, and their very presence provokes incessant observation, stares and undue scrutiny, which interrogates—where are you, from?
Italian marvel but little, at black faces in costume characteristic of the tropics, the Orient and the like, but as Occidentals, fine appearing, and in fashion's latest mode they are the center of the stage. To believe that the American Negro was represented and is to be counted among the crowd of thirty thousand that clamored before an ancient St. Peter's Cathedral for reports on the election of the new pope of the Roman Catholic church is almost preposterous, and to dream that this people would receive the first hand blessings of Pius XI through a daughter of their race is almost without reality. But it is not so neither preposterous nor without reality, for Mrs. Lella Walker Wilson, American Negro and wealthy resident of Irvington-on-the-Hudson, New York, was sojourning in Rome during the election of Pope Pius XI and was noted among the crowd which received his blessings.
The following clipping, taken from "La Tribuna," leading morning daily of Rome, Italy, numbers Mrs. Wilson among the cosmopolitan assemblage which waited with sacred patience for the returns of the papal election:
"St. Peter's Rome today took on the aspect of a social International Congress of Nations. It is, of course more tranquil and more serious than the International Congress at Geneva. Notables of all nations and from all countries thronged the concourse of the Piazza San Pietro. And we could not fail to regard in our inventory of those present, as the most prominent among the vast throng, Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson of New York, Badfour and Leon Bourgeoise of France. Tall and slender, with a majestic

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 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
The Rev. Taylor of Phoenix was with us a few Sundays ago and delivered a wonderful sermon to the congregation at Mr. Calvary Baptist church. We were glad to have Rev. Taylor with us and trust he will come again soon.
A farewell entertainment was given last week complimentary to Mrs. Rees and son who left later for Blythe, Cal. to join Mr. Rees, the husband and father. They will reside permanently in Blythe.
Mrs. Samuel Wilson was a charming hostess last week and those invited report a delightful time.
Mrs. Samuel Cherry and children left last week for Superior, Ariz. to join the husband and father. They will reside permanently at Superior. Mr. J. J. McKelvey purchased a lot on South Morris street and is now building a modern bungalow thereon. Rev. H. Hall, who has been on the sick list the past week, is improving. Miss Helen H. Vance, teacher in the city schools of Mesa, spent Saturday in Phoenix visiting friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Strelen were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wilson last Sunday and the party motored to Phoenix and spent the day with Mrs. King in South Montezuma street. Come to Mesa and enjoy yourself every Saturday night at Mr. Harry Scott's place. Pies like your mother tried to make and couldn't.

BULLOCK WINS SUIT
(By the Associated Negro Press) Hamilton, Ontario, Mar. 10.—Matt the Bullock today won his final suit against return to North Carolina County Judge Snyder ordered his release when Gov. Morrison refused to send witnesses here to testify to the extradition proceedings. The state of North Carolina charged Bullock with murder growing out of trouble last year when his brother was lynch-ed. All of Canada has been interested in the case because of the exemplary life Bullock had lead since being in the Dominion, and because of the widespread belief here that the prisoner could not get a fair trial in the southern state.
figure, the divine manner and graciousness of the former invested her with the bearing of a young goddess. Her somewhat sloping cheeks, a rather extended nose and dark complexion, would have caused the ancient Greek lyricists to name her 'an Ethiopian Artemis.' Rising interest is shown in this young lady by the vast throng of international visitors, and her grace and bearing are the cause of much comment. One cannot help but associate her with the races of the extreme Orient, or with the no less noble Aztecs of old Mexico.
The black race has truly sent us a charming representative in the person of Mrs. Lelia Wilson of New York. Her ancestors surely not so long ago, must have been rulers of the virgin equatorial forests between the Gulf of Guinea and Moambique. Therefore, it goes without saying, that Mrs. Wilson is assuredly a queen."
Mrs. Leila Walker Wilson is the only daughter and heiress of the late Madam C. J. Walker, who died in 1919 after amassing a large fortune from the discovery and manufacture of a wonderful hair grower which has proved a remarkable benefit to its users. Mrs. Wilson is president and owner of the company which bears her mother's name and is en route to Africa and the Far East on business for her company. Her stop in Italy is but one of the many which she is making which includes France, Egypt, spain and Liberia where she will be the special guest of the president of that country.
PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1922
"It is a pleasure, which indeed I count a duty as well, to testify my very high opinion and regard for Colonel Young. A graduate of the West Point Academy, he spent his life in the Army serving with real distinction. My recollection is that although he had been retired some time before the United States entered the world war, he promptly tendered his services and was greatly distressed because they were declined because of his age and physical condition. Colonel Young was a credit to the service and a distinguished honor to the race from which he came; a race that in the world war carried its full part and acquitted itself with utmost credit. It is highly fitting that you and your associates should pay him a tribute of respect, and affection.
"Very sincerely, (Signed) "Warren G. Harding."
Rev. Watson, presiding elder from Albuquerque, N. M., was a visitor in Columbus and our camp last week. While here the pastor conducted several good old time meetings at St. Peter's A. M. E. church and preached a most enjoyable sermon at the new service club, his tert, "I bring the good tidings of great joy." The Slabtown convention given for benefit of Mount Bethel A. M. E. church by members of that church has been pronounced by many as a grand success. Beginning with the arrival of oddly and comically dressed representatives of adjoining districts of Slabtown to the winding up, warming up sermon by a visiting elder, Mr. Murray, the crowded house was kept in an uproar. The phrase —"And he preached on a harp of a thousand strains" will long be remembered. Twenty or more ladies and two men are due much credit and congratulations on success of their acting. We hope to hear from same source again in the very near future.
1st Sgt. and Mrs. W. W. Robinson entertained in honor of retired 1st Sgt. and Mrs. Felix Buggs.

Robt. Tyler, first ladies' prize to Mrs. W. E. Davis and booby to Mrs. Gauddie Watters, the hostess presented the honor guest with a beautiful token of friendship, three sterling silver after dinner coffee spoons. Twenty-five guests graced this affair and report a very pleasant evening.
Many friends will be glad to learn that Mrs. W. W. Washington after a serious illness of a few weeks is again convalescent.
Little Ida Dendy is on the sick list this week. Friends wish her a very speedy recovery.
Retired 1st Sgt. and Mrs. Felix Buggs were the honored dinner guests of Staff Sgt. and Mrs. W. N. Mims.

FAMOUS COMEDIAN BERT WILLIAMS PASSES TO REWARD
(By the Associated Negro Press)
New York, Mar. 10.—A throng which filled the Masonic temple of St. Cecile lodge and overflowed into the street, today attended funeral services for Egbert Austin, (Bert) Williams, famous Negro comedian, who died here last Saturday. Scores of his former associates, officers of the lodge and prominent members of William's own race who had come from southern and western states, accompanied the body to Woodlawn cemetery.
This was the first time that a Negro had been buried with the Masonic ritual in the state, according to officers of the order. Williams was a member of Waverly Lodge, No. 597 of Scotland, and it was at the cabled request of the grand lodge of Scotland, that the services were held at St. Cecile's known as the theatrical lodge of the city. Williams' Masonic sheepskin apron, received from the lodge in Scotland, was placed in the coffin. An orchestra from the Broadway musical played the funeral march. Soloists from some of New York's most exclusive churches chanted the Lord's prayer. Among the prominent Negroes present were Charles W. Anderson, supervisory agent of the department of agriculture and Henry T. Burleigh, baritone of St. George's Protestant Episcopal church, whom the late J. Pierpont Morgan designated to sing his favorite hymn at his funeral.

TRIBUTE TO THE LATE
COL. CHAS. YOUNG
General of the Armies Washington.
In connection with the memorial services which are being held to honor the memory of the late Colonel Charles Young, I wish to commend his exemplary life as a splendid example to the other members of his race. Colonel Young was a man of proven integrity who rose to high rank in the service of his country. By close application to duty he achieved success and won the respect of his fellow army officers. His career in the army of the United States should ever be an inspiration to his people.
(Signed) John J. Pershing.

(Special to The Tribune.)
New York, Mar. 10.—Reaction following the war was blamed tonight by the Save-a-Life league for the large number of suicides in 1921, 20,000 of which were estimated to have taken place in this country. The number of cases brought to the league's attention, was 12,144 of which 8,410 were males and 3,734 were females.
"This waste of life, the result of recent disturbed economic conditions and the aftermath of the war," said a report by Harry M. Warren, president of te league, "has caused commercial failures, loss of employment and much real suffering. The growing compleityx of our modern life, the feverish unrest, crimes, divorces, questionable dress, unhappy home relations, the decline of religious sentiment, and other things have caused deranged nerves, depression and less self-control. With improved business, which is sure to come, the suicide rate will be reduced and prosperity and happiness will return."
One of the striking features of the report is the increase in the number of suicides of children which was 477 in 1919; 707 in 1920 and 858 in 1921. There also were 509 war veterans among the suicides last year. All classes of society were included in the list of those who took their own lives. There were 10 editors; 40 students, 51 school teachers; 21 clergymen; 39 brokers; 57 judges and lawyers; 86 physicians; 7 mayors; 88 heads of large corporations; 76 millionaires; 30 wealthy women and 93 bankers including 37 bank presidents. The oldest suicide was 100 years old, and the youngest five years. All sors of reasons were given by the victims. One man hanged himself because his wife was "too good" for him; another because his wife was spending all his money; another because he could not stand the noise of a neighbor's piano, and another because his wife refused to kiss him. One mother took her life because her son wouldn't marry to please her. One man left a note stating "beware of grass widows," and another killed himself for the good of the I. W. W. In New York City there were 840 suicides last year, an increase of 103 over 1920.
Ireland has fewer suicides than any other country on earth. Mr. Warren declared in his comment on world conditions. Germany leads the world especially in child suicide.

Since nominations are in order and all editors throughout the state are placing their favorite candidates in the field, The Tribune desires to place in nomination for governor on the Democratic ticket, the Honorable Judge Stanford of Phoenix. We also wish to name his opponent, Mr. D. B. Heard of Phoenix, whom the Republican party should have as their standard bearer. How do you like this combination? You may be given an opportunity to decide at the polls in November.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING
Speech of Hon. George W. Wickersham, former Attorney General, delivered at a mass meeting of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, in the Town Hall, Wndnesday Night, March First.
Mr. Wickersham said in part:
"For many years, the number and extent of lynchings in various parts of the United States have provoked adverse comment of foreign observers and compelled a sense of national humiliation on the part of Americans. Of all forms of lawlessness this is perhaps the worst, for it takes from the duly constituted authorities of the state their highest and most solemn function, the administration of justice.
"Lawless acts of this character have been committed in many parts of the country. Statistics used in the recent debates in the House of Representatives show, that between 1885 and 1921, 4,096 persons were lynched in the United States; an average of 117 a year.
"In 1919, there were 83, and in 1920 65. By far the larger number of those killed in this manner were Negroes; but of the 83 lynched in 1919, 4 were white and 2 Mexicans and of the 65 lynched in 1920, 10 were whites. The greater number of these crimes are the results of race antagonism, and have occurred in the southern states. Apoligists for this condition have sought to excuse, or at all events to palliate, these offences upon the ground that the lynchings were occasioned by outrages committed by colored men upon white women, and that in no other than by summary popular justice could comparative safety for white women be secured in those communities where there is a preponderance of colored population. Statistics of these crimes refute this theory. Of the 3.434 persons lynched from 1899 to 1919, only 570 were charged with offenses against women and of the 264 negroes lynched from 1914 to 1918, only 28 were so accused. "The well known facts concerning the lynching of colored people show that during a period of years, to a very great extent they have been deprived of life and property and have not enjoyed equal protection of the laws with white people. If the states have denied and deprived them of these constitutional privileges, Congress, under the constitution, may afford them redress.
"The distinction above suggested is sought to be preserved in the bill passed by the house of representatives on Januray 26th, 1922 (H. R. 13, A Bill 'to assure to persons within the jurisdiction of every state the equal protection of the laws and to punish the crime of lynching.
"The bill was elaborately debated in the house of representatives. It was significant that the opposition to it came almost entirely from the southern states. Constitutional objections were urged and at the close of the debate the bill was amended by substituting a substantially new measure in order to meet this criticism. It is to be hoped that the senate will pass the bill and send it to the president for his approval.
Speech of Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri at Mass Meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Town Hall, Wednesday Night, March 1.
Mr. Dyer speaking of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, passed by the House of Representatives on January 26 and now before the Senate, said in part: "If we fail now to enact the anti-lynching bill into law we must admit to the world that our government is incapable of protecting the lives of its citizens, as guaranteed to them under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
"The cry of those who oppose this legislation on the ground that it is a

violation of states rights is without proof. The opinion of the Attorney General of the United States, and decisions of courts have been produced in abundance, upholding he constitution of this legislation. In addition to that we have the human side of the question which is, that the states having failed in so many particulars to protect life of citizens of the states and of the United States, it is the duty of the congress to act regardless of any doubt of the final decision as to the constitutionality of the law, which should be left to the supreme court of the United States. I have no doubt that the supreme court will uphold it.
"The other objection to the legislation, that is to protect the crime of rape, I answer by saying that, only a small number of lynchings that have taken place in the last quarter of century have been on the account. In fact, it is a simple question of whether the guilt or innocence of a man or woman be determined by a mob or by the courts. Shall law and order prevail in this great republic of ours, or shall we admit that the courts are unable to function because of the lawless and mob spirit that prevails. This is the question now for the Senate of the United States to answer to the people of America. The statement that fillbustering will prevent the senate passing this bill is without foundation because the senate can make its own rules and can consider and vote upon legislation if they see fit to do so.
"In this great crisis no excuse should be accepted from any public servant of that kind. The very foundation of liberty is at stake and that failure of the enactment of this legislation into law at this time will bring disgrace, discontent, and anarchy into our country to take the place of liberty, justice and the equal protection of the law."

Mrs. Georgia Hyt of 12 South 11th street was relieved of $425 this week by two clever confidence men who played the old game of the lost pocket book successfully. Mrs. Hoyt was returning from work early in the afternoon, when at the corner of Jefferson and 2nd avenue her attention was attracted to a white man about to enter a waiting taxi. As he entered the taxi, a bill folder fell from his pocket and two strange colored men standing near picked up the book. They asked Mrs. Hoyt if she had seen them pick up the book and she replied in the affirmative. Opening the book one of the men exclaimed there was a $1,000 bill in it. Mrs. Hoyt suggested that they return the pocket book to the owner, but they said they would split the money with Mrs. Hoyt if she would say nothing about. She went to her bank and drew out the change, $425 and returned to the spot where the bill fold had been found. The men grabbed her pocket book and ran. She caught the smaller one and was holding him by his overcoat when he slipped out of the coat and fled. She took the coat to police headquarters and told her story and officers were put on the trail of the confidence men. Up to time of going to press, no trace of them has been found.

Entertainment A. Success

In the spelling match which was staged, little fourteen year old Bert Jerome McDonald won the prize, having outspelled the entire house. Altogether, the affair was very commendable and much credit is due the ladies who drilled the children for their parts. The house was filled to capacity and all went away feeling that they had received their money's worth.

lowed, and ran forward with out-stretched hand. Captain Scraggs was at Gibney's heels, and between them they came very nearly dislocating Bartholomew Gibney's arm.
"McGuffey, my dear boy," said Captain Scraggs. "Whatever are you a-doin' on this heathen battleship?"
"Me!" ejaculated Mr. McGuffey, with his old-time deliberation. "Why, I'm the chief engineer of this craft. I had a good job, too, but I guess it's all off now, and the Mexican government'll fire me. Say, who chucked that buck shot down into my engine room?"
"Admiral Gibney did it," said Scraggs. "The old Maggie's along side and me and Gib's fillbusters. Bear a hand, Mac, and help us clap the hatches on our prisoners."
"Thank God," said Mr. Gibney piously, "I didn't kill you. Come to look into the matter. I didn't kill anybody, though I see half a dozen Mexicans around decks more or less cut up. Where you been all these years, Mac? "I been chief engineer in the Mexican navy," replied McGuffey. "Have you captured us in the name of the United States or what? "We've captured you in the name of Adelbert P. Gibney," was the reply. "I been huntin' all my life for a ship of my own, and now I've got her. Lord Mac, she's a beauty, ain't she? All hardwood finish, teak rail, well found, and just the ticket for the island trade. Well, well, well! I'm Captain Gibney at last." "Where do I come in, Gib?" asked Captain Scraggs modestly.
"Well, seein' as the Maggie has two holes through her hull below the waterline, and is generally nicked to pieces, you might quit askin' questions and get back aboard and put the pumps on her. You're lucky' if she don't sink on you before we get to Descanso bay. If she sinks, don't worry. I'll give you a job as my first mate, Mac, you're my engineer, but not at no fancy Mexican price. I'll pay you the union scale and not a blasted cent more or less. Is that fair?"
McGuffey said it was, and went below to tune up his engine. Mr. Gibney took the wheel of the gunboat, and sent Captain Scraggs back aboard the Maggle, and in a few minutes both vessels were bowling along toward Descanso bay. They were off the bay at midnight, and while with Mr. Gibney in command of the federal gunboat Captain Scraggs had nothing to fear, the rapid rise of water in the hold of the Maggle was sadly disconcerting. About daylight he made up his mind that she would sink within two hours, and without pausing to whine over his predicament, he promptly beached her. She drove far up the beach, with the slack water breaking around her scarred stern, and when the tide ebbed she lay high and dry. And the rebel soldiers came trooping down from the Megane rancho and falling upon her carcass like so many ants, quickly distributed her cargo amongst them, and disappeared.
Captain Scraggs sent his crew out aboard the captured gunboat to assist Mr. Gibney in rowing his prisoners ashore, and when finally he stood alone beside the wreck of the brave old Maggie, piled up at last in the port of missing ships, something snapped within his breast and the big tears rolled in quick succession down his sun-tanned cheeks. The old hull looked peculiarly pathetic as she lay there, listed over on her beam ends. She had served him well, but she had finished her last voyage, and with some vague idea of saving her old bones from vandal hands, Captain Scraggs, sobbing audibly, scattered the contents of half a dozen cans of kerosene over her decks and in the cabin, lighted fires in three different sections of the wreck, and left her to the consuming flames. Half an hour later he stood on the battered decks of the gunboat beside Gibney and McGuffey and watched the dense clouds of smoke that heralded the passing of the Maggie.
"She was a good old hulk," said Mr. Gibney. "And now, as the special envoy of the Liberal army of Mexico, here's a draft on Los Angeles for five thousand bucks, Scraggsy, which constitutes the balance due you on this here filibuster trip. Of course, I needn't remind you. Scraggsy, that you'd never have earned this money if it hadn't been for Adelbert P. Gibney workin' his imagination overtime. I've made you a chunk of money, and while I couldn't save your ship, I did save your life. As a reward for all this, I don't claim one cent of the money due you, as I could if I wanted to be rotten mean. I goin' to keep this fine little power schooner for my share of the foot. She's nicked up some, but that only bears evidence to what a bully good shot I am, and it won't take much to fix her up all ship-shape again. Usin' high bursts shrapnel ain't very destructive. All them bumps an' scratches can be planed down. But we'll have to do some mendin' on her canvas—I'll tell the world. She's called the Reina Marla, but I'm going to run her to Panama and change her name. She'll be known as Maggie II, out of respect for the old girl that's burnin' up on the beach."
Captain Scraggs was so touched at this delicate little tribute that he turned away and burst into fears.
"Aw, shut up, Scraggsy, old hunks," said McGuffey consolingly. "You ain't got nothin' to cry about. You're a rich man. Look at me. I ain't a-bawlin', am I? And I don't get so much as a bean out of this mix-up all on account of me bein' tied up with a lot of hounds that quits fight in' before they're half licked.
"That's so," said Captain Scraggs wiping his eyes with his grimy fist

Governors, Mayors, Bishops, College Presidents Among Signers of Anti-Lynch Memorial to U. S. Senate
United States senate was read and adopted at an Anti-Lynching Mass Meeting held by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Town Hall, New York, on the evening of March 1, the meeting being addressed by Senator William H. Calder of New York; Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri, who introduced the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives; by Former Attorney General George W. Wickersham; and by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Memorial to the U. S. Senate
Memorial to the U. S. Senate
The killing and burning alive of human beings by mobs in the United States is a reproach upon our country throughout the civilized world and threatens organized government in the nation.
Since 1889 there have been 3443 known mob murders, 64 of th victims being women. In only a few instances has prosecution of the lynchers been even attempted. American mobs murdered 64 persons in 1921, of whom four were publicly burned at stake.
The House of Representatives on January 26, 1922 in response to insistent country wide demand, passed the Dyer AntiLynching Bill which invokes the power of the federal government to end the infamy of American mob murder.
This bill is now in the hands of the United States Senate. The undersigned United States citizens earnestly urge its prompt enactment.
Among the signers of the Memorial are the following;
Governors
Thomas E. Campbell of Arizona;
William D. Denny of Delaware; Len Small of Illinois; Warren T. McCray of Indiana; Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky; Channing H. Cox of Mass.; Albert C. Brown of New Hampshire; Harry L. Davis of Ohio; Joseph M. Dixon of Montana; Charles R. Mabey of Utah.

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Lake Charles, La., Mar. 10.—A telephone message received last Saturday said that the Rev. W. E. Bennett, white, was taken to the outskirts of Deridder this morning and tarred and feathered by masked men. Bennett is alleged to have deserted his family and broke jail in Mississippi some time ago. After the event he was brought to the town and left on the main street.
We are "now far on the way to the elimination of poverty." — President Harding.
"Statistics show that of 100 people 25 years old, 54 will be dependent on others at 65; 36 will be dead, many of them for want of attention that money would have secured; 4 of them will be well-to-do and 1 will be independent. Out of the entire 100, only 5 will be in satisfactory circumstances."—National City Bank's advertisement.
THE GREEN PEA PIRATES
(Continued from page three)
"I declare you're out in the cold, McGuffey, and it ain't right. Gib, my boy, us three has had some stirrin' times together and we've had our differences, but I ain't a-goin' to think of them past griefs. The sight o' you, single-handed, meetin' and annihilat' the pride of the Mexican navy, calm in the moment o' despair, generous in victory and delicate as blazes to o' fallen shipmate, goin' to work an' namin' your vessel after him that way,
THE FIRE IS ON THE DECK.
"She'll Be Known as Maggie II, Out of Respect for the Old Girl That's Burnin' Up There on the Beach."
is somethin' that wipes away all sorrer and welds a friendship that's bound to endore till death us do part. If McGuffey'd been on our side, we know from past performances that he'd a fit like a tiger, wouldn't you, Mac?" (Here Mr. McGuffey coughed slightly, as much as to say that he would have fought like ten tigers had he only been given the opportunity.)
Captain Scraggs continued: "I should say that a fair valuation of this schooner as she stands is ten thousand dollars. That belongs to Gib. Now I'm willin' to chuck five thousand dollars into the deal, we'll form a close corporation and as a compliment to McGuffey, elect him chief engineer in his own ship and give him, say, a quarter interest in our layout, as a little testimonial to an old friend, tried and true."
"Scraggsy," said Mr. Gibney, "your fin. We've fought, but we'll let that go. We wipe the slate clean and start in all over again on the Maggie II, and I'm free to state, without fear of contradiction, that in the last embrogio you showed up like four aces and a king with the entire company standin' pat. Scraggsy, you're a hero, and what you propose proves that you're considerable of a singed cat—better'n you look. We'll go freebootin' down on the Gold coast. There's war, red war, breakin' loose down there, and we'll shy in our horseshoe with the strongest side and pry loose a fortune somewhere. I'm for a life of wild adventure, and now that we've got the ship and the funds and the crew, let's go to it. There's a deal of fine liquor in the wardroom, and I suggest that we nominate Phineas Scraggsy, late master of the battleship Maggie, now second in command of the Maggie II, to brew a kettle o' hot grog to celebrate our victory. Mac—Scraggsy—your fins. I'm proud of you both. Shake."
They shook and as Captain Gibney's eye wandered aloft, First Mate Scraggs and Chief Engineer McGuffey looked up also. From the main topmast of the Maggie II floated a long blue burgee, with white lettering on it, and as it whipped out into the breeze the old familiar name stood out against the noonday sun.
"Good old dishcloth!" murmured Mr. Gibney. "She never comes down."
"The Maggie forever!" shrieked Scraggs.
"Hooray!" bellowed McGuffey. "An' now, Scraggsy, if you've got all the enthusiasm out of your blood, kick in with a hundred an' fifty dollars an' interest to date. An' don't tell me that note's outlawed, or I'll feed you to the fishes."
Captain Scraggs looked crestfallen, but produced the money.
CHAPTER X
"Well, Scrraggy, old hunks, this is pleasant, ain't it?" said Mr. Glbney, and spat on the deck of the Maggie II. "Right-o." replied Captain Scraggs cheerly, "though when I was a young feller and first went to sea, it wasn't considered no pleasantry to spit on a nice clean deck. You might cut that out, Glb. It's vulgar."
"Passin' over the fact, Scraggs, that you ain't got no call to jerk me up on sea ettycat, more particular since I'm the master and managin' owner of this here schooner, I'm free to confess, Scraggsy, that your observation does you credit. I just did that to see if you was goin' to take as big an interest in the new Maggie as you did in the old Maggie, and the fact that you object to me expectoratin' on the deck proves to me that you're leavin' behind you all them bay scow tendencies of the green-pea trade. It leads me to believe that you'll rise to high rank and distinction in the Colombian navy. Your fin, Scraggsy. Expectoratin' on the decks is barred, and the Maggie II (Continued Next Issue)

ALIENS SMUGGLED WHOLESALE INTO UNITED STATES Washington, Feb. 20.—Hundreds of aliens are being illegally "bootlegged" into the United States, Secretary Davis declared today on leaving the White House after a conference with the president. The secretary, who declined to state what the subject of his conference with the president was, declared that the enactment of a law requiring all aliens to register was the only solution of the situation.
There are from 5,000 to 25,000 undesirable aliens in the country who should be deported, the secretary continued, because of penitentiary sentences, diseases they have contracted or because they have entered the country illgally. He estimated also that there were 40,000 Chinamen in the United States illegally.
