Chicago, Ill, Sept. 6, 1919.

Chicago, H., Sept. 6, 1919.
In answer to a multitude of inquiries
by friends concerning the cause of my
resignation as an Assistant Attorney
General of the State of Illinois take
this occasion to make the following
statement:
On July 29th, a colored lad named
Eugene Williams was stoned to death
by a white man at a public bathing
beach located at 29th street while
swimming in the waters of Lake
Michigan. The police officer stationed
on duty there refused to arrest the
white man and as a result a fight
started, which threatened to become
general throughout the city.
1t is said that there was an imagin-
airy line in the waters of Lake Michi-
gan at this point beyond which colored
people were not presumed to 60
Young Williams crossed this line and
was killed for no other reason than
that he had violated the unwritten
code.
On August 1st a certain daily news
paper published a supposed interview
with Governor Frank o. Jowden in
which he is quoted as saying, among
other things:
They 1.-THE commissioners would
be men who could through the creation
of public sentiment create among
their people an understanding that
would soften the feeling between the
races. There would be a tacit under
standing that the colored race should
occupy certain areas for residences,
certain beaches and parks for amuse-
ment and so on. By the same under
standing, certain similar areas and
facilities would be reserved for the
white race"
1t will be remembered that desul-
tory race rioting was still in progress,
and that order was not yet restored.
As far as 1 know the Governor has
never denied giving this interview.
On August End l wrote the Gov
ernor an open letter in which / ex-
pressed the view, as a private citizen
had the right to do, that owing to the
excited state of feeling between whites
and blacks, the appointment of a race
to consider matters of /

The Staying was characterized as

against him at the court hearing
when he was bound over to the grand

Car Stopped by Mob.

Nicholas kleinmark was the white
man who was slain. The Negro is
Joseph Scott, an employee Of the Union
Stock Yards. The story is told in the
language Of the verdict:
We, the jury find that Nicholas
Kleinmark, 1851 Ashland Ave, came
to his death on the 2Sth day Of July
on the street about Thirty place
and Ashland Ave, from shock and
hemOrrhage due TO an incised stab
wound on the neck inflicted by a knife
held in the hand Of one Joseph Scott
on street car No. 15S, northbOund on
Ashland Ave
We find that the said Joseph Scott.
one Wilson Brown and one Harry
Simpson, colored men, were passen-
gers on the said car returning from
their work at the Union Stock Yards
and that the car was stopped by pull
ing down the trolley by members Of a
mob of white men who threatened the
street car crew; that the said mob
boarded the car. led by the deceased
with a club in his hand, the said mob
being prompted by race hatred.

The ColoTed Race throughout Ilinoi.
is upon the eve of facing tie most
serious and the gravest situation
. that has so far confronted the Colored
race since it emerged from the house
of bondage and since the infamous
Black Laws" Of this state were SET
at uaught some fifty years ago and
from all indications it looks as though
the Colored people in this state which
gave TO the world the immortal Abra-
ham Lincoln and many other able
and noble sons and daughters OF the
new Democracy will be forced to renew
the long fight again for absolute free
dom and full American citizenship and
assist to repel or drive those back who
are endeavoring in any way to curHil
those inalienable rights which have
been guaranteed to the Colored race,
by the Constitution Of the United
States, after the shedding of rivers of
human blood, the loss of more than
a million lives, for we honestly be-
lieve that there is a silent and a well
laid plan or scheme or movement on in
this city and throughout this grand
old state of Illinois, to seperate the
White and the Colored race every way
that it will be possible to do so.
That some form of segregation in
the public parks, public schools, public
bathing beaches, residential districts;
disfranchisment, Jim Crowism" on
the street and steam cars; that the
members Of. the Colored race will be
made to feel the sting Of the color
Of their skin in all places of public
amusement and just as sure as the
light always follows a long spell of
darkness, a long chain Of other evils
and almost unsurmountable obstacles
are more than likely to follow in the
deadly wake Of the Illinois Race Com
mission.
For last week Governor Frank o.
Lowden appointed the following White
and COlOred men as honorable mem
bers Of his race commission: Chair
man Edgar 4. Bancroft, Julius Rosen-
valid, Edward OsgOOd Brown, presi-
dent Of the Chicago branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of the Colored People, At

Gov. Lowden and to DR.. Francis W.

Attacked BY Whites.

ave find that they attacked the
three colored men with fists and clubs
badly beating two Of the men, Joseph
Scott and Wilson Brown.
I'VE find that the colored men as
best they could defended themselves,
and that Joseph Scott, with a small
pocket knife, stabbed the deceased
Nicholas Kleinmark, who at the time
was assaulting Joseph Scott with a
club, causing his death.
I'VE believe this to be a case of
justihable homicide and recommend
the discharge of the said Joseph Scott
from police custody.
1T is the sense Of this Jury that
the conduct Of the police at the time
Of the riot at this point, during the

Scott was bound over to the grand

ARGUMENTS FOR
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

It must not be supposed that the
spoken opposition on the part Of GER
tain Senators represented the view Of
the majority. They were only three or
four Senators who had disregarded
the Presidents request that debate
should await the explanation of the
League and the situation.
Constitutional lawyers attach no
Importance to the claim that the
League would be unconstitutional.
Any treaty is constitutional. The Con-
stitution. in Article VI, puts treaties
on level with the Constitution itself
as the supreme law Of the land"
These authorities grant that the
League plan will subtract something
from the perfect sovereignty and in
dependence of the United States; but
so does every treaty that our Govern
ment ever made; so does every pro-
vision of international law that was
ever approved or accepted by the
United States.
1t is simply question, they say
whether the United States shall take
a new step forward in creating in
ternational law to protect the peace
Of the world. We have always beer
the leader in that direction. Our caus,
Of war against Germany was that th'

full of hope that all the nations of

should fail the world in this hOpe?"

There is no nation in Europe today
that suspects the United States. Was
there ever such u wonderful thing
before?"
He had not come to America to
report the proceedings of the Peace
Conference, he said. That would be
premature, as the work is still unfin-
ished.
