VOL. V.—NO. 38 AFRICAN PRINCE IS HELD BY OFFICERS OF IMMIGRATION BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 15-Stanley Kisingiri, aged 16 years, styling himself a prince and saying he would have been king of Uganda in British East Africa had not the British deposed his late father, was held by immigration authorities on his arrival last Tuesday from Calcutta on the steamship City of Bernares. He stated that he was on his way to Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. He also stated that he had attended school in Colombo, Ceylon. Young Kisingiri traveled first class and was in care of Miss Margaret N, Wilson, of Chattanooga, Tenn., who had been engaged by the Y. W. C. A. in that work in the province of Uganda. The immigration authorities claimed that the boy was being held because he did not have a legal guardian and because the African quota of immigrants to this country for the year had been exceeded. DEMOCRATIC MAYOR JOHN F. HYLAN WILL NOT TOLERATE KLAN NEW YORK, Dec. 15—Following the opening of Ku Klux Klan headquarters in this city by the Rev. Mr. Oscar Haywood of Calvary church, Mayor Hylan, Democrat, issued instructions to his Commissioner of Police, Richard Enright, to drive the Klan out of New York City. Mayor Hylan's letter to his Commisisoner of Police follows: "The Ku Klux Klan, or any secret organization of similar character and purpose, is a menace to our city, state and nation. The people of the city of New York will not tolerate their existence within the confines of our metropolis. Do not leave a stone unturned to ferret out these despicable, disloyal persons who are attempting to organize a society, the aims and purposes of which are of such a character that were they to prevail, the foundation of our country would be destroyed. "I noticed in yesterday's 'Morning World' that Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton and Rev. Oscar Haywood, D. D., of Calvary Baptist Church, are alleged to be connected in some way with this secret organization. If this is so, a little police attention along this line would not be out of order. "Go after the Ku Klux Klan and do not let them get a foothold in New York City. It is to be regretted that the men of cloth, regardless of their denomination, would have anything to do with an organization whose purpose is as vile as that of the Ku Klux Klan. These people can be dealt with under the conspiracy provision of the penal law of the State of New York. JOHN F. HYLAN." Meal Ticket Getting Short, Dempsey Stands Ready to Fight Now CHICAGO. Ill., Dec. 15—Announcement comes that Jack Dempsey, present title holder of heavyweight championship, is ready to fight anybody in the world regardless of race, creed or nationality. He went out to Salt Lake City, Utah, to give out this statement. It is claimed that Dempsey says he is ready to step into the ring to meet anybody with 48 hours' notice. The wily Jack Kearns sees that his meal ticket is getting short, and he must keep things moving in some way to replenish the longevity of this ticket. Harry Wills is still playing the silent drama "Watchful Waiting" for a chance at the title, but Kearns knows that a match with Wills would endanger the lease on the meal ticket, so he must resort to all sorts of comaflauge to prevent a meeting between his champ and the Bronze Panther of Orleans as long as possible.

Phoenix Tribune KEY 10 Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes HEBREWS LINED UP OVER 200,000 STRONG AGAINST KLANSMEN HEBREWS LINED UP OVER 200,000 STRONG AGAINST KLANSMEN (Special to The Tribune) NEW YORK, Dec. 15—Open warfare on the Ku Klux Klan by the Independent Order of Birth Abraham, with a membership of 200,000 throughout the United States, was declared last night by Judge Aaron J. Levy, Grand Master of the organization, and presiding Justice of the Municipal Court of the City of New York. Judge Levy said he hoped to enlist other Jewish fraternal organizations in a fight on the Ku Klux, and eventually he suggested that Jewish and all other fraternal bodies opposed to the Klan should be merged into one big organization to wage relentless warfare on the Klan. His decision to ask the Independent Order of Birth Abraham to help in making an end of the Klan was reached after reading newspaper accounts of how school children were being used to propagate the vicious doctrines of the Klan and distribute Ku Klux literature throughout the city. Circulars distributed through media these school children contained an appeal designed to engender hatred of the foreign-born and the Negro. CERTAIN CLASS OF BLACKS IN FAVOR OF GARVEY MOVEMENT CERTAIN CLASS OF BLACKS IN FAVOR OF GARVEY MOVEMENT (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, Pa., Dec. 15—The movements, statements and activities of no other race man are more closely watched than those of Marcus Garvey, provisional president of Africa and president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. Garvey is scheduled to attend the three-day conference of the U. N. I. A. in this city on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It is reported that when local officers of the U. N. I. A. sought to have the mayor of Pittsburgh welcome the convention and Mr. Garvey to the city, considerable comment was made in this connection, as it is generally known that Mayor Magee is not altogether in sympathy with Mr. Garvey's movement and the public announcement by the U. N. I. A. officials greatly incensed the Mayor as they used his name in connection with the coming of the convention without his permission. According to reports, representatives of the Mayor of Pittsburgh have indicated that they will advise Mayor Magee not to have anything to do with the Garvey convention, as Mr. Garvey is under indictment in New York State on charges of misusing funds entrusted to him by millions of Negroes throughout the country, and for that reason they are sure Mayor Magee will not recognize the convention. It is said that the U. N. I. A. has over 2,500 members in the Pittsburgh district, and elaborate plans have been made for a grand convention. Mr. Garvey will make several addresses during his stay in this city explaining the purpose and intent of his organization. Many of the leading Negroes of Pittsburgh are opposed to the Garvey movement because Mr. Garvey and his organizers are not Americans, but West Indians who are stirring up unrest among Negroes in the United States. These persons express a serious doubt as to Mr. Garvey's sincerity in the program he outlines, and point to the outlandish misuse of funds and general business mismanagement as grounds for their doubts. However, the more ignorant and working classes in this section have rallied to the Garvey movement and are supporting it whole-heartedly. (Preston News Service) PINE BLUFF, Ark., Dec. 15—Z. Z. Lowe, who was arrested several months ago on a charge of embezzling the funds of his lodge while employed as a collector for the organization, pleaded guilty in Circuit Court last Monday and was sentenced to hard labor for two years in the state penitentiary. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1922 Gone Out of Business There is an old Latin adage which says, "Caveat Emptor." Translated, it means, "Let the buyer beware." It put the burden of seeing that one got his money's worth on the purchaser. It warned him to enter a shop with his eyes wide open, to have faith in no one, to keep his fingers crossed, and then trust to Providence that he didn't lose his eye teeth in the bargain. Advertising has put "Caveat Emptor" out of business. Today, merchants and manufacturers can't afford to risk the disappointment and disapproval of a dissatisfied customer. It is too easy for the customer to pick up a paper and find plenty of other places where real dollar value is given and where they practice the modern slogan. "We strive to please." The good will of the buying public is the goal of the modern seller. Without it, his business cannot succeed. Every time he advertises he puts his good name in your hands. His products must make good. They must be as advertised. That's why it pays to read the advertisements and to buy advertised goods. Read the Advertisements of Our Local Merchants in this Paper BISHOP HAMLETT DELIVERS ADDRESS ON RACE LEADERSHIP IDABEL, Okla., Dec. 15—During the second day's session of the Oklahoma annual conference of the C. M. E. church opened here last Tuesday morning Bishop James Arthur Hamlett delivered a lecture to the ministers assembled on how to become safe leaders. During the course of his lecture he advised the ministers to become more studious and industrious in the matters of ministering to the needs and affairs of the people. "Many preachers think that conducting services is all that a minister is expected to do, but he must become a part of the community life of the congregation he pastors, live a clean life, set a good example, qualify to advise his people spiritually and economically, encourage thrift and industry, advocate clean living and thought, urge good citizenship, etc., he said. Rev. Dr. J. A. Jones, Rev. J. W. S. Lowe and Dr. I. S. Pinkett were introduced to the conference. An educational rally was held to aid Boley Institute and $225 was collected. This was followed by a session of the annual conference of the Missionary Society with Mrs. Emma Jones, of Oklahoma City presiding and Miss Pearl L. Standsberry, of McAlister, as secretary. Rev. L. S. Stout, of Louisville, Ky., general secretary of the Missionary Department, told the conference of the work done by his department during the past year and outlined the program for the ensuing year. MAN KILLED WHEN EXPRESS TRAIN STRIKES HIS AUTO FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Dec. 15—Gable Redmond, of Thornsburg, Va., was killed instantly at Guinea Station late Friday when a motor truck in which he was riding was struck by a northbound express train of the Richmond-Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad. Redmond had just delivered a truckload of excelsior at Guinea Station, and was returning to Thornburg when the accident occurred. The truck was completely demolished. IT'S A GOOD BUSINESS POLICY Advertisements of Our Local Merchants ARIZONA SENATORS HELPED TO KILL·THE LIBERIAN LOAN BILL (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 15—When the special session of congress convened several close observers of public affairs expressed a serious doubt if any legislation for the benefit of Negroes would have a chance of even favorable consideration, although some important measures before congress had the endorsement of the administration forces. The administration sustained its first defeat in congress since the recent election, when the senate last Wednesday recommitted the $5,000,-000 Liberian loan bill to the senate finance committee by a vote of 42 to 33. The motion to recommit was made by Senator Simmons, a democrat from North Carolina. The bill was sent back without instructions. A motion previously made by Senator McNary, republican of Oregon, to recommit the bill with instructions, was beaten by a narrow margin of 38 to 34 votes. In the vote on the Simmons' motion a number of republicans swung against the bill with the democrats. Thirteen republicans voted to recommit the bill: Cameron, Arizona; Capper, Kansas; Fernald, Maine; Herrald, Oklahoma; Jones, Washington; Ladd, North Dakota; La Follette, Wisconsin; McNary, Oregon; Nicholson, Colorado; Norris, Nebraska; Poindexter, Washington; Sutherland, West Virginia, and Watson, Indiana. The democratic side voted solidly for the Simmons' motion. It is claimed that this action virtually kills the Liberian loan bill by burying it indefinitely in the committee. (Preston News Service) TERRE HAUTE. Ind., Dec. 15—On Thanksgiving Day James Jones celebrated his 104th birthday. Mr. Jones appears as spry as a man of 50 years. He says that he attributes his long life to moderately chewing tobacco, and regular habits about eating and sleeping. FACULTY COLORED SCHOOL ENTERTAINS WHITE SOUTHERNERS (Preston News Service) MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 15—The domestic science class of the Caldwell School, of which Miss Jeannette Shivers is principal, entertained at dinner on Thanksgiving Day several prominent white southerners. Among them were Prof. R. L. Jones, superintendent of city schools; Mrs. Berney Harris, president of the parent-teachers association; Mrs. L. D. Scott, Mrs. D. E. Kelly, and Judge Camille Kelly. From the artificial flowers and attractive place cards adorning the table throughout, the substantial and well-prepared menu of all the good things that go with Thanksgiving, the luncheon was the work of the school children who are being trained to render high-class service in their own homes or in other homes in which they may be employed. Another feature of the afternoon was the display of the handiwork of the girls of the sewing classes. G. R. James, who takes especial interest in the good work Miss Shivers is doing among the young people, gives regularly large quantities of samples from the William R. Moore company to the school. These are made up into attractive articles for household use, such as table runners, dresser scarfs, dollies, etc., or into aprons and other minor articles of wear. The visitors were members of the school board, and congratulated Miss Shivers upon the excellent work she is doing. WASHINGTON—Miller Abner, 75, colored, was arrested last Sunday for begging. Police Judge McMahon turned him over to his mother on parole. He added: "Mothers know how to correct wayward sons." The mother was born a slave at Newberry, S. C., and when 18 years of age was brought to Washington by the late Senator Layman in 1840. She is 100 years of age—the oldest member of the local South Carolina colony. TAINT OF AFRICAN BLOOD IN HER VIENS CAUSES SEPARATION TAINT OF AFRICAN BLOOD IN HER VIENS CAUSES SEPARATION (Special to The Tribune) NEW YORK, Dec. 15—Alleging that his wife had forgotten to supply him with her family genealogical tree, and had, therefore, kept from him her knowledge that she possessed Negro blood, one John Stovall, a white insurance broker, of 2261 Andrews Ave., Bronx, has broken into the newspaper columns by seeking before Supreme Court Justice Faber of Brooklyn to have his marriage annulled. The Stovalls have been married and living together for a year. They were evidently fairly successful in their negotiation of the rocky road of matrimony until old ubiquitous Mother-in-law sprang the coup in the traditional fight between son's wife and son's mother, and handed Cupid the count by her revelation that Mrs. Stovall was of Negro blood. Mrs. Stovall, who is only 20 years old, takes the position through her attorney, that as nobody had ever questioned her as to her race ties, she had felt no obligation to boast of her possession of the blood of the Pharaohs. Justice Faber directed that the case be tried next month. In the meantime, speculation is rife as to whether the courts could stand the burden if every wifie and every husband with the least drop of Negro blood in their veins were sued for separation. It is said thousands of light-colored people are at present "passing" and that somewhere between one and two millions apparently white people have colored blood in their veins. (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, Pa., Dec. 15—Industrial activity is on the upward trend in the Pittsburgh district, for there is a pronounced scarcity of labor. "The demand for labor in plants in this district is almost as great as it was during the war," declared John T. Clark. Executive Secretary of the local branch of the Urban League. "Hardly a day passes but what several calls from plants in this section come to the League asking our assistance to secure steady, reliable men with families who care to locate in this city and work in the plants. Employers here are especially anxious to get southern Negro workers with families. They are averse to single men, for these men usually prove to be 'floaters'—they will not work steady nor can they be depended upon," he continued. Mr. Clark said that he is in position to place hundreds of married men with families who care to come North and settle down. The Urban League will use its facilities for seeing that families of such men are properly located and settled into their homes here. "I should be glad to hear from steady, reliable married men with families who care to come here to work in Pittsburgh plants. Communications addressed to me at 518 Wylie Avenue will receive prompt attention," he said. Harding Speaks Out Openly and Denounces The Ku Klux Klan (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C.; Dec. 15—In a letter to Mrs. Frank L. Applegate, of Medford, Oregon, President Harding makes clear his attitude on the klan. The letter follows: "You may be sure that any statement of the President's interest in or approval of the Ku Klux Klan is a complete and egregious misrepresentation of the President's attitude. In some quarters it has even been represented that the President is a member of this organization. Not only is that untrue, but the fact is that the President heartily disapproves of the organization and has repeatedly expressed himself to this effect."

Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year RINGING APPEAL IS ISSUED TO BAPTISTS OF NORTH AMERICA Washington, D. C., November 29, 1922. To the Colored Baptists of America: Dear Brethren:—At the last meeting of the General Baptist Convention of the District of Columbia, it was decided to establish a college for the literary and theological training of young people of our race to be built in or near the District of Columbia, and the matter of locating a site and promoting the proposition generally was the great question before us. While prayerfully considering the matter, Providence opened a way through the Washington Development Corporation. Mr. Samuel H. Thompson, President. This Corporation, upon learning of our purpose, through its representatives donated to us a most beautiful site in the center of Douglass Park, valued at about $35,000.00. Douglass Park is a beautiful sub-division located on the Virginia side of the Potomac River overlooking Washington. With the full co-operation of the Baptists in the District of Columbia and throughout the country, it is quite possible for the financial aid of this corporation to reach $100,000.00 toward our enterprise. It will be of further interest to know that the white Baptists of the country now have plans under way for the establishment of a National Baptist University in Washington. It is evident that the interests of the colored Baptists of the country should be no less provided for, and because of the unusual opportunity for a central Baptist school located at the Nation's Capital that will become nation-wide in its extent and influence. Therefore, we are soliciting the co-operation of the Baptists throughout the country in raising funds for the erection of suitable buildings for the Washington Baptist Seminary, plans for which will be explained to you more fully later. Yours for the Denomination, W. H. JERNAGIN, President. ARKANSAS CITIZENS OPPOSED TO JURY OF KU KLUX KLANSMEN BRINKLEY, Ark., Dec. 15—Pettitions are being circulated throughout Monroe county asking Judge Clark to bar from jury service members of the Ku Klux Klan in the Monroe County Circuit court, which convened at Claredon last Monday. It was reported that several thousand persons in the county had signed the petition. This is said to be the first open opposition in this county against the Ku Klux Klan. Prairie View Normal Stands High in Football Circles PRAIRIE VIEW, Tex., Dec. 15- Although defeated in the final game of the season, Prairie View Normal stands high in the ranking of the Southern Athletic Conference of Negro colleges with a percentage of .66, having won two conference games, tied one and lost one. Under the tutelage of Head Coach Ross and his assistant, Grisby, a powerful football machine was perfected, and the Normalites this year defeated their old gridiron enemy, Wiley University, 18 to 6, after losing to them three successive years. The regular upline of Prairie View in each conference game was: James Walker, R. E.; Ira (Ted) Hunter, R. T.; Bunyan Johnson, R. G.; M. G. Dillon, C.; C. L. Jingles, L. G.; Isaac Pollard, L. T.; C.

Office 25 North 11th Street PHONE 8881 Phoenix :-: Arizona hotel, the station agent wrestling with a trunk or two—that was all. Fairchild looked about him in surprise, then approached the agent. "What's happened?" "A lot. From what I hear it's a strike that's going to put Ohadi on the map again." "Who made it?" "Don't know. Some fellow came running down here an hour or so ago and said there'd been a tremendous strike made on the hill, and everybody beat it up there." Fairchild went on, to turn into a deserted street,—a street where the doors of the stores had been left open and the owners gone. Everywhere it was the same; it was as if Ohadi suddenly had been struck by some catastrophe which had wiped out the whole population. Only now and then a human being appeared, a few persons left behind at the banks, but that was about all. Then from far away, up the street leading from Kentucky gulch, came the sound of cheering and shouting. Soon a crowd appeared, led by gesticulating, vociferous men, who veered suddenly into the Ohadi bank at the corner, leaving the multitude without for a moment, only to return their hands full of gold certificates, which they stuck into their hats, punched through their buttonholes, stuffed into their pockets, allowing them to hang half out, and even jammed down the collars of their rough shirts, making outstanding decorations of currency about their necks. On they came, closer—closer, and then Fairchild gritted his teeth. There were four of them leading the parade, displaying the wealth that stood for the bonanza of the silver strike they had just made, four men whose names were gall and wormwood to Robert Fairchild. Blindeye Bozeman and Taylor Bill were two of them. The others were Squint and Maurice Rodaine! CHAPTER XIV Had it been any one else, Fairchild would have shouted for happiness and joined the parade. As it was, he stood far to one side, a silent, grim figure, watching the miners and townspeople passing before him, leaping about in their happiness, calling to him the news that he did not want to hear: The Silver Queen had "hit." The faith of Squint Rodane, maintained through the years, had shown his perspicacity. It was there; he always had said it was there, and now the strike had been made at last, lead-silver ore, running as high as two hundred dollars a ton. It meant everything for Ohadi; it meant that mining would boom now, that soon the hills would be clustered with prospectors, and that the little town would blossom as a result of possessing one of the rich silver mines of the state. Fairchild felt cheap. He felt defeated. He felt small and mean not to be able to join the celebration. Squint and Maurice Rodaine possessed the Silver Queen; that they, of all persons, should be the fortunate ones was bitter and hard to accept. Why should they, of every one in Ohadi, be the lucky men to find a silver bonanza that they might flaunt it before him, that they might increase their standing in the community, that they might raise themselves to a pedestal in the eyes of every one and thereby rally about them the whole town in any difficulty which might arise in the future? It hurt Fairchild, it sickened him. He saw now that his enemies were more powerful than ever. And for a moment he almost wished that he had yielded down there in Denver, that he had not given the ultimatum to the greasy Barnham, that he had accepted the offer made him—and gone on, out of the fight forever. Anita! What would it mean to her? Already engaged, already having given her answer to Maurice Rodaine, this now would be an added incentive for her to follow her promise. It would mean a possibility of further argument with her father, already too weak from illness to find the means of evading the insidious pleas of the two men who had taken his money and made him virtually their slave. The future looked black for Robert Falk child. Slowly he walked past the happy, shouting crowd and turned up Kentucky gulch toward the ill-fated Blue Poppy. The tunnel opening looked more forlorn than ever when he sighted it, a bleak, starling, single eye which seemed to brood over its own misfortunes, a dead, hopeless thing which never had brought anything but disapointment. A choking came into Fairchild's throat. He entered the tunne slowly, ploddingly; with lagging muscles he hauled up the bucket which told of Harry's presence below, the slowly lowered himself into the recesses of the shaft and to the drift leading to the stope, where only a few days before they had found that gaunt, whitened, haunting thing which had brought with it a new misfortune A light gleamed ahead, and the sound of a single jack hammering on the end of a drill could be heard. Fairchild called and went forward, to find Harry, grimy and sweating, pounding away at a narrow streak of black formation which centered in the top of the stope. "It's the vein," he announced, after he had greeted Fairchild, "and it don't look like it's going to amount to much!" "No?" Harry withdrew the drill from the hole he was making and mopped his forehead. "It itn't a world-heater," came disconsolately. "I doubt whether it'll run more twenty dollars to the ton, the wye smelting prices 'ave gone up' NOT THE STYLE "No woman is so angelic as to prefer a halo to a hat," is a London Opinion's opinion—Boston Transcript.

It seems that Miss Jennifer and Mr. White had some sort of a disagreement last Tuesday evening in Southwest section, and to impress her wishes in the matter forcibly on Mr. White she handed him a stiff wallop to the jaw and Thomas went to sleep for the count. A policeman saw White's sad plight and hustled the pair to the police station where they spent the night. The next morning the judge assessed them a fine of $25.00 each.

She had been for years an admirer of, Dr. William's work and had taken an active interest in helping various religious and welfare work, in which he has been engaged.

We have no quarrel with the Democrats for the part they played in the defeat of the bill, especially those from the Southern States, because it was to be expected that strong opposition would naturally come from that section of the country, Our complaint must be directed against the Republicans. It was they who had made the promise. It was they who had the power to pass the bill without aid of the Democrats; it was they in whom we had trusted. The defeat of the Anti-lynching Bill looks very strong- ly like a ‘‘frame up.”’ It was either a frame up or down right cowardice to abandon the measure because of ‘‘fili- buster”’ on the part of the Democrats, is all buncome. It’s merely an excuse (and a poor one) for failure to do one’s duty. When you stop to think about it, there was something strange about the proceedings which meant the death of the bill. In order to accomplish this ‘‘feat,’’ it was neces- sary to reverse the majority rule and allow the minority the right-of-way. Or in other words, allow a hand full of Democrats to bluff a cow pen full of the “good Republi- eans.”’ After all, who can tell but that this is a blessing in disguise. If it does no more than setting the Negroes to thinking, who can tell what will happen when twelve mil- lions paople begin to THINK! It is beyond our fondest imagination to ever predict what a people ean do who think.—Ex. THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS ~ Give and it shall be given unto you,’ saith the serip- tures, and this is the time of the year when giving is the main thought with all fortunate individuals, and receiving uppermost in the minds of those less fortunate. In order to carry out the true spirit of Christmas, each person should try to make another happy. This does not mean that you should strain yourself by giving expensive pres- ents, for sometimes the simplest gift is most appreciated by the recipient. Service is a good thing to give, and in many cases is more desirable than expensive gifts. If you try, it will not be hard to find some one who is in less fortunate cir- cumstances than yourself, and whenever you lift up the fallen, comfort the bereaved and give to the poor, you are rendering a real service to humanity and carrying out the true spirit of Christmas. Many plan to give presents, and to this majority, we wish to suggest that you Shop Early. Right now, local merchants are showing a variety of holiday goods, fresh and clean. The early shopper will have a big advantage over the last-minute buyer. Now, you will find choice selections from which to make your purchase and, too, the ¢elerks have more time to give each customer. Christmas shopping is a pleasure if done early. Today’s Tribune is presented as a Shopping Guide to all prospective Christmas shoppers, and its pages are filled with gift suggestions offered by the leading mer- chants of Phoenix. Our advertising solicitors have done well their part in securing such a large number of business firms to purchase space in this issue, arid it ig now up to our readers to maintain this standard by patronizing the business places represented in our advertising columns. Remember, no merchant advertises in The Tribune except those who desire the patronage of Colored People. Vheir advertisement in this paper is a direct personal ap- peal to YOU and advertising for The Tribune is solicited with the understanding that you will regard it as such. You would not think of foreing your way into a home where you were not invited; then why force yourself and your hard-earned money on merchants who do not extend an invitation to you thru the advertising columns of YOUR PAPER? Again we say, an advertisement in The Phoe- nix Tribune is a direct personal appeal to Colored People. Go Where You Are Invited! Only Seven more shopping days till Christmas. You’ll have to hurry. In days past, walking was termed the ‘‘Universal’’ exercise, but in this day of automobiles and airships, mo- toring has supplanted the word walking. "Tis said that the world is a looking glass and gives Sack to everyone the reflection of his own face. If you frown, it in turn will frown upon you. If you smile, it is a jolly, kind companion. Keep smiilng! The doors of opportunity are wide; don’t say you can’t get in unléss you have tried. ‘ _ Fortune favors the bold. Fate pursues the timid. Reiland THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING JACK DEMPSEY WILL RECEIVE MILLION FOR THREE MIXED BOUTS _ CHICAGO, Til, Dec. 15—Jack Demp- sey, passing through Chicago last week on his way to Salt Lake City to fill a vaudeville engagement, an- Rancon through his manager, Jack Kearns, that he had accepted the offer of Al H. Woods, theatrical promoter, to meet Ed (Strangler) Lewis, world’s heavyweight wrestling champion, in a mixed bout, and two heavy boxers, to be selected by the promoter. Dempsey is to receive $1,000,000 for the three bouts, and the time and place will be agreed upon after Dempsey -returns East following the close of his vaude- ville tour of the coast. The two boxers Dempsey will meet likely will be Harry Wills, the New Orleans Negro, and Joe Beckett, the British heavyweight champion, Kearns sald. Woods’ million dollar offer to Demp- sey was made while the heavyweight boxing champion was in Memphis, trom where he arrived in Chicago yes- terday morning on his way West. He has had it under consideration for a week, and Kearns yesterday wired Woods of his acceptance. Why is it that some men will take counsel with everybody else sooner than they will with their wives If they would go to her first and do as she advises, there would be fewer men down on their luck at the present time. —Farm Life, Order Your Olive Fed Christmas Turkey Now!

KLAN CONDUCTING MEMBERSHIP DRIVE IN NEW YORK TOWN NEW YORK, Dec. 15—The Ku Klux Klan is conducting an intensive mem- bership drive in this city, and so far has enlisted the services of several ministers, among them the Rev. Wil- lam Burd, Methodist minister at St. Mark's Chureh in Princess Bay, 8. I. ‘This minister of white Christianity and traitor to Christ, admitted to re- porters in ‘the Staten Island edifice that he had preached Klanism in Bi- ble classes. . In his talk to the Bible classes. the Christian minister pronounced the Klan a patriotic organization imbned with noble principles, and stated that one of its cardinal principles was the unswerving conviction that the white race should be forever supreme in America, This portion of the Klan Kreed, he explained, was to meet conditfons in some parts of the South where the colored race is in the majority. Con- curring with the teachings of the Klan, he declared this to be the white man’s land, and for the best interests of civilization (syphillization?) and soci- ety, white supremacy should prevail. At another chureh in New York Klan circulars were distributed fol- lowing collection at the morning ser- vice. At this church, however, the minister denied knowledge of the Klan circulars and was apparently angry ever the incident, At the Calvary Baptist Church, of which the Rey. John Roach Straton, a vaudevillian reactionary is pastor, dodgers were given out with the church calendars. These dodgers car- ried invitations to become Klan mem- bers, with the advice to write at once to N. C. T., Box No. 97, Tenafly, New Jersey. (No Postals.)” Those who wrote received a reply that read: “An invitation is extended to you herewith to attend an open meeting where full particlars and an oppor- tunity to join will be given, at Mead’s No. 1912 Madison Avenue ,on Noy. 17, at 8:00 p.m. sharp. Bring an eligible friend with you. Present this slip at the door and inquire for Brown.” MISSISSIPPI JUSTICE CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Mass.—Miss Honor Maud Barron of Crystal Springs was awarded $2,250 damages by the Circuit Court in her suit for $3,000 against the Pullman Co. and the Mt nois Central Railroad last week upon representation that a colored person was permitted to ride in an adjoining berth last summer in a Pullman car from New Orleans to Crystal Springs She testified she saw a porter help a colored person into a berth, which ad joined the one she occupied. This is mounted on a heavy nickled trunk-rack in the rear, with bright fin- ish aluminum trunk bars to protect the body.
