steward on the Mt. Vernon, formerly
the Crown Princess Cecile, and has
just arrived from port in France,
tells many exciting experiences which
a man in that life goes through, and

a submarine crew do their work. He
said on their second trip over when
they were in the danger zone the per-
iscope of a submarine was sighted
near at hand.
OF course the excitement and activ-
ity was intense and great was every
ones surprise when the under sea boat
rose to the surface displaying a white
flag The crew Immediately surren-
dered and the submarine was towed
into French port. 1t developed that
this particular boat had been sent out
by the German Admiralty to get the
Mt. Vernon and not to return to port
unless she had succeeded, They had
been out three weeks and were desti-
tute of food and water and in their
desperation had killed their captain.

ment of Colored People, was the attor-
ney for the defense In this case, In
which he displayed a wonderful
knowledge of criminal Jurisprudence.
When his client was convicted on the
charge of manslaughter In May, 1916,
Attorney Warren Immediately moved
for a new trial, which was granted by
the trial court after many delays. At
torney Warren exerted the full force
of his legal powers in behalf of his
est fought criminal cases tried in De
troit for many years.
The Detroit Free Press of March 3
makes the following comment concern
ing the case:
"The prosecuting attorney has fought
since March 2s, 1916, to convict Pruitt
on the charge of murder of the de-
ceased Charles Nielands. Pruitt was
convicted of manslaughter In May,
1916. His attorney, Francis Fl. War
rem, Immediately moved for a rev
trial, which, after many delays, caused
by the prosecutor, was granted by the
trial court.
when Nielands and another assault
ed Pruitt and his companion he was
armed with pocket billy and, hav-
ing no license to carry 1t, he was him
self guilty of felony under the Michi-
gan law when he attacked Pruitt, as
well as being the aggressor In the
fight. 1t was with this billy that Me
lands was beating Pruitt with when
the fatal shot was fired from a pistol
the latter's companion had obtained
from their home during the fight. Be-
sides being armed, Nielands was six
footer and weighed $50 pounds, and
the man with him was nearly as large,
while Pruitt and his companion were
140 pound men.
Judge Edward J. Jeffries measured
fully up to his high reputation for fair
ness in this case and charged the jury
that the law is color blind and that
they should decide the case In the light
of all the facts and circumstances sur
rounding the killing of Nielands, and
it did. 1t was the hardest fought Grim
inal case in which Attorney Warren
ever engaged in his long experience at
the bar"
Judge Jeffries' record for fairness
and exactness in the Interpretation of
the law according to the facts in any
case that comes before him is one of
the most impartial to be found In
court of justice anywhere. He is in.
deed man Of the people, whose sole
ambition is to serve humanity by pro
teeting the rights of citizens against
intrusion and oppression from what
ever sources these handicaps may
arise. His whole attitude IL matters
affecting the well being of ie body
polite finds expression in lending
the right and denouncing the ;. cong in
both official and private affairs.
At this time when segregation ordi
nances are directed against the eolored
people to such large extent for self
ish motives and contrary to law the
eolored people the country over who
know OF Judge Jeffries, stand for the
equal protection of all citizens alike
without regard to race, color or preyi.

such a man the race has one of its
best friends. Il Is the duty of every

THE PEORIA STAR CLAIMS
THAT COLORED VOTERS
MADE SPRINGFIELD DRY.

The Peoria Daily Star has the
following to say editorially on the
subject of Springfield going Dry
Springfield yesterday surpris-
ed the state at large by going
dry. In this connection it is said
that the wet" managers were so
confident of winning that they ig-
nored the colored politicians in
the city with the result that as a
matter of vengeance the entire col
ored vote went over to the "drys"
and greatly to the astonishment of
the leaders aforesaid, the city
went dry by some 400 votes. The
wet leaders had confidently
counted on a majority of a couple
of.thousand and grew careless of
events. The snub.administered.to
the colored::voters cost.t themssthe
election. land the state. tcapital
moved over into.the drysscolumn.'
Upon investigation the aForum
finds that there is much truth in
the..above statement. For some
years politics in the Colored wards
of this city have been managed,
so to speak, by certain recognize
ed Colored leaders. Their organ
zations are kept up from year to
year and the managers are always
on the job. Their districts have
always been known to be over
whelmingly wet as they were
this year. The wet leaders, it is
claimed, attempted to take things
in their own hands and handle the
election funds through white men
instead of giving it out as has
been the custom heretofore to the
Colored managers for use on cleo
ton day. When the Colored man
ayers found themselves about to
be supplanted by white men they
called their constituents together
and it was generally agreed that
their votes would be thrown to
the drys unless the wet managers
came across" Five meetings
were held last Sunday in which
instructions were given to go to
the polls and vote dry unless they
we're other wise instructed. The
strike lasted up until Monday
night before election, when it is
said the wet managers gave in
and transacted their business with
the Colored managers as demand
ed. 1t was then too late. howev-
er. for the fact became generally
known to all constituents of the
strike leaders Tuesday morning
true to their promise, wet voters,
women and men, began pushing
in their ballots for the drys and
without question quite enough of
them to turn Springfield into the
Dry Column had cast their votes
for the drys before it became
known that the strike had ended
the night before. 1t is said that
after the wet managers had
come across" the Colored lead
ers got on the job in the regular
old fashiond way" but were UNI
able to get round up of their con
stituents in time to save the day.
