White Woman Fakes Story
Of Assault.

Another alleged outrage by
Negroes proved to be a can
ard of the worst sort when
Adele Ginnsz, a white woman
declared to police officers that
she had been attacked at the
corner Of Meridian and Ohio
streets, a centrally located
spot. by thsee Negroes. two
men and one woman, and
dragged to a vacant lot near
by. She declared in her care
fully rehearsed cock-and bull
story that something white
had been thrown over her
head. her shoulndrs bared.4
and pins stuck in her body by
her assailants. iis .esseu
1t was just a year ago that
the officers had been fed upon
a similar storyby a young tel
ephone operator so they were
inclined to take the Cinnsz
woman's story with salt. She
was swathed in bandages and
to all appearances was suffer-
b.

might escape paying a board

Chicago. lM.-Miss Mae
Coleman. one of the brightest
little girls in the city, has
again demonstrated her abili-
ty as an expert stenographer.
Miss Coleman was at one time
a stenographer for Alderman
Oscar DePriest. She took
examination in a civil service,
passed and secured a position
to work during the war fe-

This running out she took a

Coleman took another Fed

We regret to say that Mr..

The Norfolk (Va.) Journal
& Guide. a colored paper. has
these few facts on the results
of residential segregation.
The exponentso of race seq
regation claim that the color
ed people want to live among
white people because of a de-
sire to associate with them
That is decidedly untrue.
Colored people object to
being segregated because it
deprives them of municipal
protection: the sanitary laws
are not enforced with due re-
gard for their health: the
money that they pay in taxes
is usurped for the benefit Of
white communities: h cir
streets are unpaved. and, in
case Of FIRE. the FIRE fighting
apparatus cannot reach their
property. They have made
quate police protection and
the streets are not properly
lighted. An example: When
Huatersville and Rarbours-s
vile were annexed to Nor
folk, the boundaries were ex-
tended TO cover enough of
adjoining white wards so as
preclude forever the possible
ty OF Negro votes ever con-
trolling the revenue from
Negro taxable values. Taxes
were raised 100 per cent and
$37o,ooo were appropriated
for street improvements in
the ward. but not one dollar
of it was spent for paving or
curbing of a single street in
the colored section of the
ward.
Another colored paper. the
Cincinnati Ohio Union edit
ed by w. p. Dabney. is max
ling a brave fight in Cincin-
natl against the evident anxi-
ETY. of the colored people Of
that city to segregate and
Jim Grow" themselves. 1t
says:
Instead of fighting to put
competent teachers of our
race in the mixed schools a
few ambitious and selfish peo-
pie. backed up by those who
did not know and could not
know. for they doubtless new
er had the opportunity of
learning, succeeded in estab-
fishing the Colored School.
The white board now finds
it a necessity! The Colored
people have to all intents and
purposes shown that t h e y
want segregation.

Unfavorable conditions in the lumber
trade caused new sales of national

that of the previous year by 100000,
