training school which is to be erected
in Chicago to fit colored people for
work as domestic servants. Last year
according to statistics given out by
Rev. Register 10000 negroes migrated
from various points OF the south TO

from this proposed school can be fitred
into good positions.

BOYS AND GIRLS TERRORlzED BY
MYSTERIOUS PROWLER WHO
MAKES PlANOPHONE COMPANY
OFFICE RENDEZVOUS.

Ottawa is again in the grip of ter
ror caused by a woman in black"
which has thus far baffled the police.
This time it is the North Side of the
city and the district OF Center Ottawa
bordering the canal which has been
Eyisited. The police have instituted a
search for the past several nights for
the spectural visitor, but have mp to
the present time been unable to land
her
Sunday night it is claimed several
different girls living near the cana
were chased home, and rltmors have
also gained circulation that some o!
North Ottawa have found themselves
10 be rather fast sprinters when they
saw their vision" approaching
However. it is only when the men
are out by themselves and not in tWos
or triOs that they have felt their hair
stand on end and chills run up and
down their spines at the sound of a
sWishing of skirts and the sight Of a
long, black veil. On Wednesday night
a number of residents of the North
Side gave chase to their visitor who
managed to eude them, but they feel
sure that this will not happen the
second time.
Old firearms are being secured up,
and at many homes the guest will be
welcomed and greeted in the same
cordial manner the YanHS greeted
the Huns at Chateau Thicrry last
July
Descriptions of the BLACK ghost
vary, but all who have seen her agree
that she dresses in black and wears 4
long, lowing veil,
Ottawans feel they have been an
noyed enough in the past by women
in black" and intend to end this an
nual visitation of the appariCon in a
hurry and in such an effective manner
that it will be the end of such foolish
ness for all time For ,he past sey-
eral years some poor. haf-demented

The men of the town and a good
many of the Drawer women feel that
they are ready and willing to take the
proper steps for ending this matter
and are willing to 20 any length to
get results in putting stop 20 this

Chief George Zurich, when inter
viewed today, expressed his conf
dence that the police who have been
placed in charge of the situation in
North Ottawa will have their appari
ton under arrest before many more
nights
The most Of the reports which have
come in about the black ghost
would indicate that she is abroad
mostly during the early hours of the
evening and has been seen in almost
every neighborhood in North Ottawa
