Trouble Starts in South Side in Vicinity of Recent Bomb Throwing: Tribune Demands Investigation. CHICAGO, May 1.—By A. N. P. A young riot was staged here last week, which caused the shooting of one man of the Race, William Epps, 23, who is lying at the point of death in Provident Hospital. The daily papers declare that the trouble started when two white boys were passing on bicycles, and were stoned by Colored boys. The boys went to get other boys to "clean up the gang" and were in turn joined by older persons and their parents with sticks, brick, bats and guns. This was met by the same token on the part of the grown-ups among the Colored boys and their parents. The calling out of the police reserves brought a quick out to what might have been a serious event. The storesies are carried by the daily press as to the cause, are at variance with investigations made by the Associated Negro Press... The trouble really started because of interference by rowdy white boys with a little Colored girl who had gone in to a confectionery for ice cream. The Colored boys resolved to protect the little girl of their Raze. the trouble occurred in the neighborhood on the Southside in the velocity of recent bomb throwng, because of the occupying of homes by Colored people formerly held by whites. The Chicago Tribune, daily, remark the occurrence with all seriousness, with a lengthy article under the cap of "Racial Neighborliness," in which it proceeds to say it is the result of "misdirected energy, spontaneous as to time and place," and not "evidence of racial faction." The Tribune calls for an immediate commission to "investigate and report on social welfare of the Races. We may defer it, but delay can only make the problem more intricate. It seems already too near to the surface." WILLIAM R. PETTY MAKES STATEMENT WILLIAM R.

Simmons Gets Ovation On ReturnFromParis CHICAGO. May 1—By A. N. P.—More than 5,000 people heard Roscoe Conkling Simmons deliver his address at the Auditorium in the "Loop District," on the subject. "From State street to St. Mihhil." A number of white people occupied boxes on the occasion, which was under the direcort S. Abbott, the owner, presiding. Mr. Simmons declared that the time at hand when the white people or the country must hear our sides of the story. He said that the report that the Negro soldiers are rapists, had been proven false by the official statement of Major General Barnum. According to Mr. Simmons, the reason at the Race soldiers who fought under the French came home decorated with crosses, and so many of the 92nd division who displayed equal valor came home without decorations is, "because the French were in the war to fight, and not to draw the color line." He further declared, that much of the prejudice against our soldiers was due to the playing of small politics by Southern Democrats. Music for the occasion was furnished by a chorus of 500 voices under the direction of Prof. J. Wesley Jones, and George Garner, as soloist.

Tela Head of Shipping Board Government Can Prevent Many Future Outbreaks New York, April 30.—The National Association for the advancement of Colored People through its Secretary, John R. Shilladay, makes public a letter of April 18 from the National Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation regarding the recent strike of 1400 white employees of the Shipbuilding Plant at Pensacola, Florida, and the action taken in setting the strike. Mr. Hurley, on April 14, advised that the matter had been referred to Charles Pier, Director General of the United States Shipping Board of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, and on October 1, the Assistant Manager of the industrial Relation Division, in a letter to the National Association advised that— "It is to be regretted, of course, that any unfair treatment of colored workers in the shipyards on the part of the other men should exist. The difficulties in connection with this question have, in the most cases, been settled locally by the shipyards in conference, when necessary with the District Representative of Industrial Relations under the District Manager. "I am pleased to state, however, that our District Representative for the Southern District in his report of April 9th, advises this office that since the strike has been discontinued at the Merrill Stevens shipbuilding Company, there has been no further agitation over the race question, and it is his belief that this question will not come up again for some time." Note: The New York Evening papers of April 11, carried accounts of this strike and stated that these men had declared that they would not return to work until all Negroes employed in mechanical positions were discharged. On April 12, the National Association wired Edward N. Hurley, Chairman of the United States Shipping Board, asking that the unjust and undemocratic demands of the white laborers with colored employees be not discharged. The Association in its telegram declared that if the strikers were allowed to gain their point it would cause many future disturbances, similar to the Pensacola one, but that on the other hard, if a firm stand were taken by the government, it would prevent many future outbreaks.

P.—There was produced here last week for the first time, at one of the local theatres a new one act play called "Bondage." It deals in a serious way with certain problems connected with the Race life in America. In The San Francisco Call-Post, one of the great dailies of this section. John D. Barry, the dramatic editor, devotes a whole section to the discussion of his play, after reviewing the story. Tq quote his exact words he said: "It makes us reflect on the awful cruelly in the attitude of the whites towards the Colored people. No wonder H. G. Wells said in the book that he writes on his return to England from this country, "The Future in America," published a dozen years ago, that he couldn't understand why the Negroes didn't rise up and murder us in our beds." With reference to the English used in the dialogue of the play, the critic says: "All of the characters, even the grandfather, speak pretty clear English, after the habit of so many Negroes. Some of the best English I ever heard has been spoken by Colored people. They show that the Race has a fine ear for the niceties of speech." The Operating department of Porto College announces its removal from 3180 Phe street, to the New Porto College building 4300 St. Ferdinand avenue. They will be pleased to have customers call at their new home.

PRICE 5 CENTS CHAIRMAN HAYS DENIES CHARGES AGAINST HIS PARTY Says Republicans Are Not Sacrificing Colored Men For Foothold in the South. Says Committee Is Pledged to Demand Absolute Justice Everywhere For the Colored Race. LOUISVILLE, Ky. May 1—A. N. P.—Consid rabie attention has been directed between Editor William Warley of The Louisville News and chairman William H. Hayes of the National Republican Committee. In his later, Mr. Warley calls attention to the fact that the Colored people of the country are becoming quit concerned about reports that the party, and Mr. Hayes are "willing to sacrifice the Colored man for a foofold in the South." To the letter Mr. Hayes sent a lengthy reply in which he stated, "It appears to me that your contemporaries either by need or design have misinterpreted the matter if they have led you to believe that I regard the black man as a Jonah on the Republican ship." Mr. Hayes then speaks of enclosing a copy of an address he delivered in North Carolina, and resolutions adopted by the National Republican Committee during its session in Chicago, January, with reference to conditions in New Jersey. These resolutions said in part, "That this committee is unalterably pledged to the principle that the Nations of America, as citizens, should not be discriminated against in the administration of the Federal and State laws, and that as an organization this committee resolved and its news its pledge to demand all justice everywhere for the Colored race." To this The Louisville News reprinted editorially: We hate to be one to take the joy out of life, but how can we ally the National Republican Committee's talk with the Ohio Republican Legislators' action? "Truly this is a time when Black men must begin to live and think Black man. White man, as such, are all the same on the Race question. That many are broad enough to accord to every man regardless of Race, color or previous condition, the basis rights they demand for themselves is true. But that a greater number is possessed with the bestial vanity of 'looking down' on somebody, is equally true. Our cravings for manhood rights, for the respect of our fellowmen and for equality can be satisfied, but they can be satisfied only through us—by our resistance and by our united and continual warfare for us to see things. OHIO REPUBLICANS HELP DEFEAT NEW EQUAL RIGHTS BILL OHIO REPUBLICANS HELP DEFEAT NEW EQUAL RIGHTS BILL COLUMBUS, O. M., May 1—By A. N. P.—The Republicans of Ohio have gone on record, through the defeat of the Beaty Civil Rights Bill, as opposed to equal Justice and equal opportunity. Some of the most shameful addresses of prejudice ever heard in a legislative assembly were bittered by white Republican members of the legislature, particularly from Cincinnati, which in its display of prejudice, certainly cannot be discounted by any city south of the Ohio river. The Republican leaders of Ohio, according to the people who fought for the 611, will undoubtedly be made to remember the gratuitous insult and injustice, which they claim is a shameful demonstration for the State of Garfield McKinley, Grunt and Taft, at this crisis in the world's history, in which Negro soldiers have taken such an active part, those from Ohio being high in the scale of heroic commission. The condition has served to cement many harbours for action who deserve they will support honest Democrats in the next election soon, if any degree of equal justice is promised. One prominent citizen who worked hard for the passage of the bill said: "We are ashamed to look the people of the other states in the face now, and boost of our 'Beautiful Ohio,' but if we will be given time it will be stop whether we mean business." NEGROES REMOVING DEAD IN FRANCE Px Associated Negro Press PARIS FRANCE, April 15—25,000 bodies of American soldiers are being removed from their temporary graves by 10,000 American Negro soldiers who are going at their work with the same determination and seriousness that they went into battle.

The members of St. Paul are very much elated over the arrival of the pastor's family who arrived Saturday and each of whom unified with the church Sunday morning. The membership will do all in its power to make it pleasant for the good doctor and his family. The memorial service of Dr. W. B. Johnson, our former pastor, will be held Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at St. Paul. The public is invited to assist in paying tribute to this noble character. A program for the occasion will be rendered by members of the church and citizens at large. UNION MEMORIAL CHURCH If you want a seat at Union Memorial next Sunday, May 4, you must come early, for the church will be taxed to its capacity to hear Bishop A. P. Camphor of Liberia, Africa, preach. Please come early so that you will not disturb the service. Bishop Camphor will preach at 11 a.m. At 8 p.m., Dr. W. W. Lucas of Meridian, Miss., will preach. Dr. Lucas is a great man on the platform and an interesting preacher. The crowds will be at morial next Sunday in an unusual way to hear these great divines. Speaking Dates For "The Lion Of His Tribe" ```markdown ``` Evangelist. C. S. C. Bragg. (The Lion). will lecture at the Metropolitan. A. M. E. Zion Church. Rev. G. B. Shaw. D. D. pastor, on Monday, May 6 to 8 p. m. Selections will be rendered by the Metropolitan Quartette. Admission 25c. of Ethiopia," how Ethiopia can get her heart's desires; When? Why? How? Evangelist Brogg is called the World's Greatest Ethiopian Geneologist. The following are extracts from press and public opinion of him: Is a living volcano pouring out the lava of wisdom in a faming fire of understanding. A gushing geyser spouting forth living words of consolation. Is a horn of salvation to blow down the walls of sin, with the tune and harmony of the Lord's spiritual strength. His inspirational words of truth are so prophetic and menacing to the ears and heart. Rev. C. S. C. Bragg (The Lion), the Ethiopian Classic Interpreter, is so plain until he glorifies his words with color of enthusiasm, with tints of mental magnetism, with lights of the soul, he makes his message quiver with brilliance of the spirit of truth, until we see a great artist painting a picture of colors on our imaginative minds of canvas. So manifest in the spirit of truth. Rev. S. C. Braggs, the evangelist, is the world's greatest Ethiopian Genealogist and Biblical scholar, very studious, full of reverence for the Bible, devout with eminent power of clear, strong expression, in wit mixed paths sometimes blending with humor, very conspicuous for his knowledge of the history, geography and customs of the Bible times. Having traveled extensively, his forceful power as an orator enable him to portray to his audience his insight into the deep spiritual meaning of the sacred texts. (Abyssinia Bailnekhem, Festha Negast Ethople's Hieroglyphics) He presents a rare combination of qualities to produce this important subject, "The rise and fall of Ethiopia," or the "Confusion of Man." As he does not offend or approach any Sect, Creed, Religion or Faith. He believes the God of Abraham, Isaac, Israel and the only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Israel of heaven and earth. Among the questions asked by Evangelist Bragg are: Do you know that the Ethiopians were the first people that God gave land? And named it Ethiopia after Adam and Eve were made, and the only nation that lives on their land till this day? Do you know that the Ethiopians were the first nation to turn to God and the first to turn away from the God of Israel? Do you know the Ethiopians absolutely were the first nation in literature, art, science and music? Do you know that King David had alrhsms, armored tanks, engines of war and many more instruments of war than you have today? There is nothing new under the sun. And this war will be won by cavalry. And why? Do you know that according to the Ethiopian hieroglyphics numerals that King Zerah, the Ethiopian warrior, had (2nd Chronicle, 14 Chapter, 9 verse) 100,000,000 soldiers and 300 carriots of war and fought his own brother, the Prophet Iddo, and both were Moses' Ethiopian grandons by blood? And one of his engines of war could shoot 500 miles—from Chaldea to Noph? Do you know that Moses' wife Zipporah, sister of Heber, and of Hobab the Ethiopian warrior. Do you know that Ethiopion wife of Moses Zipporah, were kni to Deborah and sister to Hebber the Kinite; sister-in-law to Jael was praise by God of Israel personally above all women on earth. Do you know that there is 2,832 nationalities and only one race—not five? I can prove it. Do you know that after every great war the Bibles have been translated into the winner's language? The Bible has been translated 2,832 times. Do you know that St. Thomas' Gospel pel is not in your Bibles? Do you know why you have kings and chronicles in your Bibles, the cause and effect? Do you know that every language under the sun derived from the Ethiopic Hieroglyphics (sacred writing)? Do you know that confusion of Ethiopians today was on account of Israel not having a teaching priest, law or Bible or a true God for 999 years? And under Judges for 450 years, the greatest Judge ever, was an Ethiopian woman? Do you know that the Prophecy of Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, St. John the Divine, the first by Enoch, the 7th man from Adam, foretold of the present war and the Civil War? Do you know that the highest educated on earth excepting Moses was an Ethiopian woman? Do you know that Ethiopians had the greatest cities ever built on earth, one with a street made of solid gold 60 miles long and 3 miles wide in the Topaz of Ethiopia? Their buildings tudded with diamonds, Sapphire, onyx, coral, pearls, rubies, Sardonyx, sardins, chalcedony, chrysophasus, amethysts, jacinth, chrysolite, beryl and on the outside of their buildings covered with precious stones? Do you know that the first man to be baptized by the spirit of truth, Holy Ghost, and the water was an Ethiopian man of Abyssinia, under and relative of Queen Candace, the Queen of Sheba, and first to establish the present Christianity upon the earth? Do you know that out of 50,000,000 of people that lived in Jerusalem, all was captured, slain or destroyed except one Ethiopian, for his righteousness sake he was saved; and was the treasure of the God of Israel government? And don't let them tell you different. Do you know that I will positively answer and absolutely-will answer all the question by your Bible, by chapter and verse? WM. H.

Cheap for a quick sale 3381 Cook Ave. 5-24 CONCERNING YOUR HAIR INVENTION OF AN EXPERT CHEMIST. You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result, they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quinna-soap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by their full names. Price is 25c each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send us the price, and we will mail them to you direct.

MEMBER MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION mehow, has a peculiar effect upon human of us, we cannot see how we became so this late war as to almost forget the one is destined to render the Negro race (and War, somehow, has a peculiar effect upon human beings. But for the life of us, we cannot see how we became so deeply concerned in this late war as to almost forget the one great organization that is destined to render the Negro race (and the Nation) so much real valuable service. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is a real factor for good in the American life; unlike most of the organizations, which are diametrically opposed to the principles of true Americanism, but zealous in its support of the Constitution of the United States, and the principles of Democracy is its watch word. Since its organization, just ten years ago, it has preached the doctrine of justice and equity to all the citizens of these United States alike, regardless of race or creed, having for its chief aim, 6. To secure for colored children an equal opportunity to public school education through a fair apportionment of public education funds. 7. To emancipate in fact, as well as in name, a race of 12,000,000 American born citizens. The above is a serious indictment against America which boasts of justice and fair play. The implied charges are legal injustice, race discrimination, lynching and burning, denial of equal accommodations, denial of equal opportunity to educate our children; Negroes are free only in name. No one will deny the above charges. Most of the people of the nation will admit that such practices are wrong in the very nature of things. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is trying to correct this evil. The Association contends that such practices are a menace to all democratic forms of government. All true, loyal and patriotic spirited liberty-loving Americans will join in this fight to rid the country of this national menace which threatens her. The Local Organization: We congratulate the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. upon its efforts to put on new life again. There is much work to be done. The war is over. The Negro helped to do the job. The returning soldiers with their stories of woe present new problems which will require the attention of a strong force. Surely they want to participate in the benefits. A Suggestion: We would suggest that a strong effort be made to enlist a large membership in St. Louis. A special effort should be made to enlist all the white people of our city who believe in justice and fair play. A big mass meeting should be held at the Coliseum or Odeon, at which time have both Dr. DuBois and Major Joel E. Spingarn, both of whom have been overseas. Also invite the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce. Now is the time to act while the battle fields are yet wet with the blood of America's best. JAPANESE AND THE NEGRO QUESTION Now that the Colored People of California have openly expressed their sympathy with the Japanese in their (Japan's) demand at the Peace Conference for a clause against racial discrimination, the Negroes throughout the country are becoming more or less interested in this question from an international standpoint Some of the editors see the hand of Woodrow Wilson as the chief opponent to such a clause, because it would give the Negro of the United States equal consideration in a foreign country as any other people. President Wilson, no doubt, is not so much concerned about the Japanese as he is about the American Negro. His training and environment teach him that he can render the world the best service by putting handicaps and hindrances in the American Negro's path. So his only convictions in the premises would be to appease any kind of league; law proposal or suggestion that would mean equal rights to the Negro. Notwithstanding the fact that President Wilson knows that to deny Japan's demands will aggravate the darker races of all the world, yet he is willing to take a chance with another war that will possibly involve all the races of the earth. Race prejudice is a poison disease. The Negro who is the tim despies it, for it is more dangerous than a Rattle Snake.

Monday evening, April 28th, was an eventful one to the members of Pride of the West Lodge, No. 1, K. of P., it being the birthday anniversary of its Keeper of Records and Seal, Sir Wm. H. Goff. After the conclusion of business it was announced that refreshments had been prepared, and the members proceeded to the basement meeting hall, led by Chancellor Commander Thos. Hanger, and Sir Wm. W. Buckner, master of ceremonies for the occasion. After Divine Grace had been invoked by the Rev. Edw. Edwards; the master of ceremonies stated briefly the reason and cause of the secrecy so strictly maintained; it being in the nature of a surprise, likewise an appreciation of the continuous service in office of Sir Knight Goff, and the extreme regard in which he is held by the membership—and we may add—all Fratres generally. Sir Knight Goff responded feelingly, and in his usual happy vein—which really is the secret of his discovery of the Fountain of never ending Youth. Grand Keeper of Records and Seal W. T. Ancill, congratulated Bro. Goff on his remarkable journey down the years, and the lodge, for having so efficient an officer, in his position. They do say fishermen live longer than those who do not fish. Goff is an ardent fisherman, yet, born in 1839, records say he has never been slick; single day, has never missed a lodge meeting until the entry of America into the great war, when the duties of his position made it impossible for him to attend.

N.—Six person were killed in a pistol battle between county officers and Negroes near here, following the arrest at a church meeting of Edmond Scott, charged with carrying a concealed weapon. The dead include County Police W. C. Brown, Night Marshal T. H. Stephans and four Race men. The officers were called to the church and as they approached they met Scott in an automobile with the minister. The officer stopped the car and arrested Scott. Other Negroes intervened, and it is alleged that Joe Ruffin' opened fire on the officers. Later Ruffin and his three sons were killed. After Stephens had been shot, it is claimed his head and body were beaten by the crowd. "NO NEGRO PROBLEM" SAYS WHITE BISHOP NEWPORT NEWS. Va. April 24- By A. N. P. In a mistaken attest at the Rotory Club, white, here, Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkind, white, of the Methodist Episcopal church. "There is really no Negro problem; what is really needed is a Negro program." A problem involves fear part of both the white and Colored Race—the one at having to meet it, the other of being it. The Negro three hundred years in America, has in him all the elements of true Americanism. The Negro needs justice, recognition, understanding, and sympathy. WAR ACTIVITIES AMONG NEGROES William Edgar Easton, author, lecturer and publicist, of Los Angeles, California, has been designated by the California Historical Survey committee to gather and preserve Commission as chairman of a material and information regarding the activities of the Colored race in California in connection with their part in helping to win the war. He has formed a committee consisting of all pastors, editors and secretaries of civic bodies doing war work and they will aid in making the volume to be published by the Survey Commission a comprehensive and authentic reservoir of reference on all matters pertaining to the war work of the Colored Americans of California. Steps have been taken by the representatives of the Commission on Training Camp Activities and patriotic Colored citizens in various sections of the country to have literature of especial interest to the Colored people included in the camp libraries at stations where the Colored troops are located. In camps where such literature has already been placed, the supply will be largely increased and made of more varied nature. Copies of Colored newspapers and magazines will be welcomed by the committees in charge of the literature at the camps. These may be sent in care of the Y. M. C. A. Secretary. Chaplain William Heilman has had remarkable success in stimulating the members of the Colored battalion on at Camp Grant. Rockford, Illinois. At a recent general entertainment, prizes were offered for the following contest: Guessing, riddles, jigging, singing, manual of arms, eating apples suspended on a string, etc., and after the prizes were awarded, ice cream and cake was served in the mess hall. Chaplain Heilman has also been conducting classes in reading, writing, arithmetic and shorthand. In his gorthand course he says, some of the more industrious Colored men learn to write any word legibly in seven one-hour lessons. They are anxious to learn in all the branches taught, and are, for the most part, apt pupils. Assurance has been given the War Department by the National Y. W. C. A. that the Colored Hostess House at Camp Pike will be continued throughout the period of demobilization. This is regarded as a very fitting recognition of the energetic service of the Colored people in the vicinity of Little Rock, Arkansas, who have shown the largest measure of loyalty in the matter of men furnished to the army, in subscriptions to Liberty Bonds and in the purchase of War Savings Stamps, and in all of the war relief agencies. The Mosjac Templars of America, with headquarters at Little Rock, alone subscribed for $110,000 worth of Liberty Bonds and purchased $1,000 worth of war savings stamps, a total of $111,000 for the prosecution of the war. A letter from Mr. Marshall Stimson, associate director of the Four Minute Men of California, under the Committee on Public Information, commends in the warmest terms the effective labors of Charles Alexander, Noah D. Thompson, H. B. Greer, William E. Easton, High E. Macbeth and Fred M. Roberts, in connection with the war work campaign in California. At Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga., a school for illiterates in one Colored organization has 128 men detailed to it. More than one hundred men are regular in attendance. The classes meet five nights a week. This work is maintained and carried on by the Y. M. C. A., assisted by five women from the Atlanta city schools. Some of the men are doing very acceptable work, and have reached the 2nd reader in a very short period of instruction. None of these men could read nor write before starting in this school. COLORED FIRE DEPT. IN WASHINGTON, D.C. COLORED FIRE DEPT. IN WASHINGTON, D.C. WASHINGTON, D. C. April 24.—By A. N. P.—For the first time in the history of the Nation's capital, there is a Colored fire department in this city. In the southwest section of the city the commissioners made the transfer a few days ago, placing the white men into other positions. The Southwest Civic Association plans to hold a reception in the honor of the new department, and resolutions of thanks have been sent to the commissioners. Petitions have been drawn requesting the Board of Education to confirm the findings of the court in a recent trail of school teachers. One of the teachers insisted on taking her place in the schools and hence Dunbar High School was picked by parents one day of last week, until the teacher was spirited out of the building.
