OREGON LEGISLATOR INTRO
DUCES INTER-MARRYING BILL.
eff White and Colored Love, Let them
Marry He Says.
OTHER EFFORTS MAKE HIM AP-
PEAR AS FRIEND TO RACE IN
THE NORTHWEST.

Salem, Ore. Especially .-Representa-
tive D. C. Lewis, of the late city of st.
Johns, again is championing the Ne
groes and other Colored residents of the
state.
Lewis was author of the resolution
adopted at the last session submitting
to the voters the proposal to eliminate
from the state constitution an obsolete
section prohibiting Negroes from
voting. The proposal was defeated at
the recent election.
But Lewis came forth with another
bill designed in the interests not only
of the Negroes but of Cinnamon and
Kanakas as well. 1t would repeal pro-
visions of existing laws making it lille
gal for Whites and Negroes, Chinese
and Kanakas to intermarry.
eff a White man loves a Colored
woman or a Chinese woman, let him
marry her," he argues.
"No, have no particular couple in
mind, but some of my Colored constit-
uents asked me to introduce the bill. -
He will also introduce another bill
making it unlawful for the secretary of
state, state printer or other officer to
print as part of the state constitution
those provisions making it illegal for
Negroes to vote or to hold property.
He says that this course will elm
mate the Objectionable sections from
the eonstitution-that the fourteenth
amendment to the federal constitution
abrogated them long ago. 1t was not
necessary even to submit the repeal
amendment to the people at the last
election, he says.

1t was stated few weeks ago in the

Captain James s. Nelson happens to be
real light in complexion that he ought
not to have been selected as one of the

tion. Captain Nelson belongs to almost

tempts to get away from or side-step

NEW JUDGES OF THE SUPERIOR

Foell, Clarence N. Goodwin, Marcus
Kavanaugh, NJ. L. Mckinley, William
H. McSurely, Hugo Pam and Denis E.
Sullivan, of the Superior Court of Cook

Mr.. Henry NJ. Walker, who was a
candidate for the nomination for judge
of the Municipal Court at the Septem-
Der primaries, is a candidate for one of
these positions for the election in
June, 1917. He has resided in the City
of Chicago for over fifty years, being
raised on the South Side until the year
of 1876, living on Sixteenth street near
State street. At that time the territory
south of Twenty-second and State
streets was cow pasture up to Twenty
sixth street, where there were four or
five houses on the west side of the
street that had water pumps sticking
out of the sidewalk, from which they
got their water: He afterwards moved
to the North Side and has resided in
the Twenty-ffth Ward for the last
twenty-eight years. He was admitted
to the bar and licensed to practice law
in 1892, since which time he has had
his offices at 127 North Dearborn street.
Mr.. Walker, being a Mason of high
degree, contributes a large share of his
time to charity work, often defending
unfortunate and poor people without
fee. During the last year he spent a
month IS time in one of such cases, as
well as handling between twenty-five
and thirty others of a similar nature,
and deserves credit for his work in this
direction, and he will make the right
kind of a judge.

GOING FAST.
Stock of 1.-The Birth of Race Being
Sold by Brokers and is Going Like
Hot Cakes.

If YOU want to see two busy places
visit the offices of the Birth of Race
Photoplay Corporation, and then visit
the offices of the brokers, Giles P. Cory
& Company.
After these visits there will be no
doubt in the mind of any one as to the
assured success of that big photoplay,
'sThe Birth of a Race" now in course
of preparation.
The stock is being sold in amounts
ranging from $40 to $4,000. The list
of Chicago stockholders is as long as
your arm, and very long arm at that.
Every mail brings applications for
stock from one end of the country to
the other.
In talking with Mr.. Barker, president
of the Birth of Race Corporation, he
said: "I am a little surprised that
most of the stock is being sold to White
folks; but this is true. There is plenty
of interest among the Colored folks,
but they seem to be a little slow. They
have been waiting for something. L
don t know Just what that something
is; but nv advice is for them not to
wait much longer. If they do, they will
find that they have waited too long.
A number of sales have been made to
the Colored people of Chicago, and all
over the country as well. And every
one of these stockholders is a good,
substantial man or woman"
A little change has been made in the
officers of the Corporation. L. c. Con-
ner, formerly vice-president, is no
longer associated with the company.
The new treasurer is John Gulliksen,
assistant cashier of the Union Bank of
Chicago. The board of directors has
been strengthened. Everything that
could possibly be done has been done
to safeguard investors, so that every
share of stock will share equally with
every other share of stock in every dol
lar of profit to be made from this big
Iphotoplay.

through fraud secured the signature of
the United States Fidelity & Guaranty
company to an instrument in writing
whereby liability was created. One
Stuart II. Taylor of Twin Falls filed
the charge against him. The complaint
was presented to the governor of Cali
forn!a but because it was not sworn
to before q committing magistrate he
refused to allow the prisoner to be
turned over. Kruger was placed under

hopes to be able to bring Kruger back
with him to stand trial on the charge
