Too much credit cannot be given
the continued good and effective serv-
ice before the various committees of
the legislature for the past seven
weeks of Attorney J. Gray Lucas of
No. lis n. LaSalle St., who has been
on the firing line at Springfield for
six or seven consecutive weeks, going
there each week and remaining until
the bills are defeated for the present
hearing before the railroad, judiciary
and other committees. Others have
been at times on the spot, sometimes;
but he has been there at all times,
save the very first meeting of the Hi
nois Protective League.
Since the effective and able address
of Mr.. Lucas before the "Full Crew"
committee, FIVE weeks since, his in
fiuenee has been marked and effective,
especially before the senate commit
tees, where all the prior hearings have
been heard.
Both the "Full Crew" and "Mis-
eegenation bills have been before
their several committees in the last
few weeks. The Full Crew Bill was
billed to be heard last week and this
week; the last named at the same time
on both sides of the legislature. Both
committees have now passed the Full
Crew Bill to next Tuesday or Wednes-
day for further consideration as to
whether it be recommended that it do
or that it do not pass.
The "Miseegenation" bill has been
re-referred to the Committee on "Mis-
eeIlaneous Bills" from which it ap-
peared with the recommendation that
it "do pass" on the House side,
without any opportunity having been
given the opponents Of this bill a
chance to be heard; the other hear
ings having been before the Senate
Committee.
This was the request made by Mr..
Lucas of the chairman, Kareh, Of the
judiciary committee, and the intro
Queer of the bill, who diselaimed to
Mr.. Lucas that he was DESTROYS Of its
passage. Mr.. Lucas further requested
that the bill go to the Judiciary COM
mittee-of lawyers-from the commit
tee on Miscellaneous Bills, which was
afterwards done, when Representative
Jackson was seated and renewed the
request, after a conference with Mr..
Lucas upon the status of the bill.
Now that the good soldier, the "Ma-
jor," is on the job, we may expect
much action, which means that he viii
see that there is no action further
thereon by its committee.
Much is expected OF the new repre-
sentative Of the race in speeding the
work of the patriotic Colored men who
have made the fight aud are yet max

TALKS WITH POOR KIDS"
Two Automobiles Convey Party to In
poverished Negro Quarters.

Washington, D. C, May 15.-Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson has had a first hand
experience in the Washington slums,
which some people have said are the
worst in America. It became known
today that the wife of the president
had made a social work tour of four
of the worst alleys in the city.
Two automobiles conveyed the party,
which consisted of Mrs. Wilson, Mrs.
James W. Pinehot, Mrs. Archibald Hop
kins, Mrs. E. P. Bicknen, and Repre-
sentatives Humphreys Of Mississippi,
Kahn of California, and Curry of Cali
fornia.
To the denizens of the alleys and
back streets visited by Mrs. Wilson Is
party, the national coat of arms, en-
blazoned on the tonneau of the motor
cars, was not such a familiar sight,
and few, if any, of the people visited
knew whom they were entertaining.
Autos Create Sensation.
The big cars created sensation
enough, however, to the jewellers in the
byways, whose days of monotony re-
eeivk their principal punctuation
through the frequent calls of the patrol
wagon, with occasionally the arrival of
the coroner's runabout.
Goat alley was the central point of
examination for the party. Goat alley
. long ago was devoted to dwelling
places for immigrants. This was years
and years ago. The descendants of the
original inhabitants now for the most
part live on Massachusetts, avenue, own
motor cars, play auction, and drink
vintage wines. Now the alley is pOpu-
lated with Negroes
Piekaninnies came and stared at the
presidential automobiles. They rubbed
sticky fingers over the pretty shining
enamel. The ehauffeurs eyed them with
high disdain. But Mrs. Wilson was
greatly interested and frequently stop
ped to talk with some of the little
ones.
Visit 70 Snow Court.
After inspecting several Of the slum-
miest Of the Goat alley dwellings the
party moved on to other fields. Snow
court was one Of the places. Here also
they found Negroes engaged in the
same occupations.
The women who take in washing
were scrubbing out the linen of the
well to dc. The men, for the most part,
were Mie&wbering around, waiting for
.nightfall to take the wash home.
The children, such Of them as were
not in school, stood open eyed admir-
ing the ladies who passed from house
to house asking all sorts Of questions.
There Is a movement On foot here to
forbid the use of alleys as residential
properties and to convert them into
Fairgrounds. Mrs. Wilson expressed
herself as vastly interested with her
tour.
