The new law that has gone into effect that was drawn up by Lawyer John G Jones, a former member of the legislature, has put an end to all bogus and fake lawyers both black and white in the state of Illinois. Any man that classifies himself as a lawyer or places his name on a card or letter-head as a lawyer had better become one for if he is not a lawyer and has not been duly admitted to the Bar in the state of Illinois he will suffer the penalty of the law which provides for not less than twenty five dollars nor more than five hundred dollars or, one year in the county jail or both in a discretion Court. Chicago has been especially molested for some years by large number of bogus take so call Negro lawyere who never had the slighest right to practice law what ever. Lawyer John G Jones is to be commended for having drafted the Bill which is very rigid, and getting it thru the legislature which puts all these fakes to an end.
