THERE IS A REASON'

The reason for the unusual good service from our Ingersol watches and alarm clocks is our careful sys- tenn of inspection when we get them.
 We run the watch one day each in three positions: Dial up, dial down, and hanging up; and If it doesn't average good is it returned and new one demanded. This is the reason why we seldom get complaint from purchaser of one of these watches.
 Our alarm clocks are rigidly in spected also.

prominence in the affairs of the world
The review of the First Division,
United States army, is the last grand
review of the recent war, and, his
torically speaking, takes its place by
the side of the last review of the
Union troops which paraded down
broad Pennsylvania ave. in 1865 at
the close of the civil war.
The distinction which Secretary
Baker accorded to the Negro race in
this connection, with the universally
popular Emmett J. Scott as its spon-
sor, is heartily appreciated by colored
Americans throughout the length and
breadth of the land.

Interest in Laundry
Workers. Organization
Campaign Is Growing

Glenn w. Campbell, president Inter-
national Laundry Workers Union No.
as, states that the organization work
of this local is meeting with great
success. The laundry workers in Chi
cago have at last realized that they
need a union and are joining by the
hundreds at every meeting. No other
class Of workers have been compelled
to do harder work for smaller pay
than the toilers in the laundries in
Chicago.
A successful organization meeting
was held in Evanston Tuesday eve
ming, Sept. 16, and seventy-five men,
bers were initiated. Another meeting
has been arranged for Chicago, Satur-
day evening, Sept. 81, at Ga w. Ran
dolph ST., in the Women's Trade Union
league rooms, tenth floor.
Requests for information are made
every day by laundry workers at
headquarters, room 704, 166 w. Wash
ington st. The prospects for a real
powerful union are very bright, all
the more because the laundry drivers,
who are practically 100 per cent or
ganized, are helping spread the propa-
ganda. -.

Jury Says Drowning
Caused Race Riot

The coroner's special jury, chosen
to investigate the riot deaths, at the
final session last night returned a
verdict that Eugene Williams, colored,
was drowned at the Twenty-sixth
street beach last July and that death
was not due to the stones which were
thrown at him. The battle which oc-
Cured at the beach when number of
whites threw stones at the colored boy
as he was swimming, started the riots.
The jury recommended that all per-
sones who participated in the throw
ing be apprehended and brought to
trial. George Stauber was held to the
grand jury for the murder Of Viii
liams by Judge Hugh K. Stewart in
the South Clark st. court some time
ago. The finding of the coroner's
jury will materially affect the dispo-
sition of Staubers' case, il is believed.

Good Example
South's First Cotton Baled by
Negro.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 26.-The first
bale of cotton for the season to be
ginned in Harris county was grown
by a Negro living on rented farm
near Houston. The producer of the
cotton, Willie Whiting, worked hard
to make the record. After getting the
bale picked, he hauled it to the city
during the night, arriving at o'clock
in the morning, for fear that some one
else would beat him to the honor Of
selling the first bale of Harris county
cotton this year. He was rewarded
for his labor, for in addition to receiv-
ing good price for his product, he
was given a premium of $25 by cot
ton men.

You Can't
Shake the Shin
my in Omaha

Omaha, Sept. 26.-Omaha is going
to abolish the shimmy dance.
Omaha is tired of that style of
dancing. That is, that portion of
Omaha that doesn't danee-the "ain't-
it-awful' portion that bushes and
peers through it's fingers at what is
going on out on the dancing floor.
But among that portion happens to
be majority of the members of the
board of public welfare and Superin-
tendent 7. II. Werlich of that insti-
tuition has just issued an "edict" for
bidding the shimmy and similar
dances and decreeing that if Omaha
wants to dance this winter Omaha
shall dance like they did in the good
old days" before the saxophone and
the slide trombone threw themselves
onto the music world and evolved jazz
stuff in sound as well as in action.
Where He Shall Place His Hand.
"The gentleman's hand must be
placed lightly not over half way
around the lady, and above the waist
line" orders Superintendent Werlich,
in a set of rules for dancing" which
the board has promulgated.
The superintendent realizes that
there may be exceptional cases, such
as the situation Of fat man and a
small woman, or a small man and a
woman Of size" when his rule simply
cannot be made to apply. But in ex-
IRENE cases of this kind the conscience
of the dancer may be permitted to die
tate the proper position which shall
be assumed-provided the saxophone
and the slide trombone are not per-
mitted TO introduce their tones.
"Let your conscience be your guide
and hold a deaf ear to the saxophone
and the slide trombone and all will be
WE'LL" urges the superintendent.
Says They're Partners in Crime.
Superintendent Werlich holds those
two instruments, the saxophone and
the slide trombone, together with the
clarinet, as partners in crime and the
real cause of the shimmy and similar
dances.
Suppose you were dancing quietly
over the floor and all of sudden the
trombone should let out a sliding
blare, the saxophone should join in
with SILVER and the clarinet should
shrek, what do you expect would
happen" asked Werlich. "You just
naturally would shimmy for an in
slant out Of real terror"
But that has just got to stop, the
superintendent AYERS.

"Scondol"

Scandal" from the magazine story
of Cosmo Hamilton, which opened its
New York engagement at the Thirty
ninth Street theatre Friday night,
with Francine Larrimore md Charles
Cherry in the chief roles, is preceded
by successful runs in London and
Chicago. 1t is a comedy that some
times has the amusement of farce
and sometimes the intensity of drama.
1t is on the same order as, and has
precisely the same appeal, as the sex
fiction which a certain class Of mag
azines have INDUCED in so heavily for
several years past. In all, IT is a COM
bination of sex stuff and the glitter
of "high society"
Scandal" concerns the episode OF a
high-spirited young woman whose
whim is TO trifie with the passions of
a young artist, notorious rake. His
name is coupled with hers in sour
rilous paragraph Of a society sheet
and to confound the gossips, she visits
him in his rooms late at night. Here
she is accidentally met by two men,
old friends, who urge discretion upon
her.
Her family then learns of her es-
capade, and when she is finally hunted
down by her furious and disappearing
parents, she extricates herself from
her predicament by boldly announcing
that she is married to the young art
list. After being placed in this COM
promising position he feels that, as a
gentlemen, he is bound to bow and
submit to her lie, but, TO punish her
he means to carry out the preroga'
tives of his situation.
II finally develops that, in their bed
room that night, he forces her, against
her sneers, rage and threats, to sub
nit in complete humiliation TO his will
Whereupon he leaves the room. witt
the observation that nothing in tbs
world can persuade him to come neal
her again. At last, as the coined!
draws to a close, the two character!
are finally reconciled and with a de
ferred marriage in sight, Scandal
ends.
The play has been cast with.
shrewd eye for its values. The MAJ
and the woman are played by Charles
Cherry and Francine Larrimore, thu
former masterfully masculine, the lat
ter petulently feminine. The remain
der Of the cast is thorough and yer,
capable.

Officer Arrested for
Shooting in NeD York

New York City, September 90
Police Corporal Amanda o. Hayes,
who was arrested Monday night fol-
lowing the shooting of Ephraim Geth-
ers, of both st. and Eighth ave-, dur
ing a disturbance at 135th st. and
Lenox ave., was arraigned before
Magistrate Levine in Heights court
yesterday and paroled in the custody
of Capt. McGrath of the West 135th
st. police station.
Hayes was charged with homicide
on a short affidavit. He appeared in
court, with bruises over his face,
showing that he evidently fought with
the crowd before firing his service re-
volver twice into the crowd that
surged about him when he attempted
to arrest man, who is alleged to
have been the leader of the turmoil.
Capt. McGrath, when interviewed
yesterday, said he requested the Gus
tody of Hayes because he felt that
after the investigation he made fol-
lowing the occurrence Hayes exhibit
ed remarkable fortitude with the
frenzied crowd and gave warning be-
fore shooting.
The disturbance started over the
squabble of straw hat. 1t was at
first good natured, but soon developed
into fights.
Hayes wa son his way home after
doing duty as a police reservist, and
as he entered the subway kiosk at
135th ST., was surrounded by num-
Der of youths who took his straw hat.
He resented and crowd of 100
swarmed about him. Several blows
were aimed at him when he attempted
to retrieve his hat and when he at
tempted to arrest the leader of the
crowd he was beaten and thrown to
the sidewalk and kicked.
Patrolman Battle broke through the
crowd, swinging his club, and went to
the assistance of Hayes. Just then
Hayes fired into the mob hitting
Gethers.
Others were injured during the
fighting. They are Flu Williams, a
sailor, hit by a bottle thrown from
roof; William Harrison, of 40 W..
59th St, both taken to Harlem hos
pital suffering from injuries of the
back and face, and Detective Edward
Shields, later given medical aid for a

Pullman Porfers Make
Second Fight for Basic g.
Hour Day and Graded Pay

Immediately after the public press
announced the new increase in pay
granted Pullman conductors with over
time after 240 hours of service per
calendar month, the Pullman porters
filed notice with the wage board at
Washington that similar demands
would be made if the order did not
apply equally to porters as well as to
conductors on the hourly basis.
Attorney W. T. Houston, Washing
ton representative of the Railroad
Mems International Benevolent Indus
trial Association of Chicago, appeared
before the board with the notice of
protest, acting upon Geographic in
structions from President r. T. Mays.
Secretary Emmert of the wage board
informed Mr.. Houston that the porters'
protest would be considered upon pre-
sentation.
At the November hearings at Wash
ington where the case for conductors,
stewards, porters and dining car men
month with overtime at rates from
90 to 80 cents per hour to constitute
a months work.
When the public press announced
that the very method outlined to the
board by Mr.. Mays for the colored men
had been granted the conductors on
appeal, the instructions to protest the
inequality and file for similar working
conditions for porters was wired Mr..
Houston.
At conference of porters last week
the case was discussed and prepared
and forwarded by President Mays to
the Washington Office of the associa-
was argued before the board, the con-
ductors demanded a fiat S165 per
month rate and did not fight for the
hour or mileage basis Of pay.
Upon request of the board President
Mays submitted in behalf of the port
ers and dining car men a graded scale
of pay based on seniority and def
nitely specified 240 hours per calendar
ton for presentation to the wage
board.
In discussing the matter with a
Whip reporter, Mr.. Mays remarked,
1.-THE conductors had a right to de-
mand better scale than $115 to $140
per month. They certainly fell fiat
on their original demands. But there
is no reason why porters should be
paid fiat time while the men who work
beside them under similar conditions
are rated on the hour basis and graded
by their years in service"
