PAYS "coLoREp" WIFE.

That a new court Of law would not
eountenance the Southern idea of a
Colored persons legal rights is the
conviction that was eoneretely i'm
pressed upon the mind Of Robert Ken
yon Richardson, treasurer of the Chris
tian Food Co. last Saturday. He must
pay his wife, Iva D. Mathews Richard
son, a counsel fee of 800 and $40 a
week alimony pending the trial of the
action for a separation which she has
begun against him
So Justice Newburger decided.
Richardson commended he could not be
held legally liable for alimony on the
ground that his marriage to his wife
was not valid according to the laws of
the State of Tennessee, because Mrs.
Richardson had Colored blood in her
veins. They were married in Memphis

JACK JoHNsoN's TROUBLES.

Four indictments have been returned
against Jack johnson, the pugilist
champion, under the Mann Act for i'm
porting women for immoral purposes,
and he is now under a $4,000 bond.
If Jack johnson has broken the law
he deserves the punishment of the law
and we hope he gets it, but it looks
to US as if all this publicity is given
to it because Jack is a Negro and the
women are Caueasians. Had johnson
mistreated girls Of his own race in a
similar manner the federal authorities
would have considered it beneath their
dignity to give it q moments eonsid-

verdict of guilty in the case of

The complaining witness, 9 years old,

Mr.. Wnnams, is a White gentleman,
so the daily newspapers were so busy
in their attempt to send Jack johnson
to the Pen, without giving him a trial,
for attempting to make love to a White
lady, who at one time hustled for
business at the Everleigh Sisters
Club, that they could not denote any
space to Mr.. Williams and his raping
of his own little daughter, but if he
was only a Negro it would be far diff
ferent, for. then these same daily
papers would have contained a full ae-
count of the horrible crime of the big
burly black brute, as they greatly de-
light to refer to all Colored criminals.

A Tennessee statute, Richardson
held, prohibits intermarriage of people
of the black and white races.
Richardson further states that July
80, 1910, he married Miss Bessie
Valley, and that the plaintiff is merely
his housekeeper at his residence, Clio
West 152nd street. He charges in an
affidavit that Mrs. Iva Richardson is
descended from Negroes within the
third generation, and both her pa-ents
are Negroes"
The plaintiff denies there is any
Negro blood in her veins, and says her
mother was the daughter of an Indian
chief and a white woman, while her
father was born of Spanish and French
parents.-The Amsterdam News New
York City, November 16, ~
This same southern white gentleman
who would have cast his Colored wife
OF like unto an old worn out dish rag
if he still been residing in Tennessee,
and the courts of that state would
have in every way aided and upheld
him in his dishonorable trick, but a
far different story was in store for
him when he faced Justice Newburger
who presides over one Of the highest
courts in the state Of New York.-Ed-

As rule the Department of Health
regards anonymous complaints with
suspicion. In many instances it is
found that people who do not sign
their complaints are making them only
to "get even" with some one against
whom they have a grievance. 1t often
happens, however, that despite a little
bit of spite work or i'll feeling is back
of the anonymous complaints, they are
often well founded and the conditions
complained of actually exist. Some
times, too, people are afraid to sign
their complaints for fear of mourning
the i'll will of the party or parties
against whom the complaints are made.
And again employees working under bad
sanitary conditions feel that the De-
partment of Health should be informed
as to these conditions and be asked
to correct them. For reasons that are
plain such complaints are not signed;
and the Department does not think
they should be.

Five Appear in Court.
Frances Thleland, IS Years Old, Tells
Story Of Mistreatment to Judge.

Fifty conductors and motormen en-
ployed by the Chicago City Railway
Company, who are alleged to have con-
tributed to the delinquency of Frances
Thieland, who is 10 years old and lives
at 3141 Calumet Avenue, are being
sought by the police on "John Doe"
warrants issued yesterday by Munie-
ipal Judge Newcomer.
Five car men who were arrested sew
eTal days ago on complaint of the girl 8
parents were arraigned in court yester-
day and the charges against them
continued to Dec. Is. The police in
the meanwhile hope to arrest the
others.
A "tip" that the warrants for the
arrest of many of the street car men
would soon be issued resulted in an
increase in the list of employees on
sick leave, the police say.
The men arraigned are Joseph Ryan,
5O2s South Lincoln Street; John
Dunno, 1921 Butler Street; George
Ross, 941 West Thirty-seeond Street;
Richard Cusaek, 1898 Parnen Avenue;

Pneumonia is a dirty-air disease;
and yet during the month of October
90 cases were reported to the Depart
ment of Health as compared with only
26 cases for September. This ire
mendous increase shows what hiberna-
tion does for the people of Chicago.
When the weather is mild and doors
and windows are kept open there is
little pneumonia. But with the coming
of cold weather and when people shut
up their houses the pneumonia cases
multiply with fearful rapidity. So do
the deaths from the same dirty-air dis
eases.
