MOST PROMINENT
BUSINESS WOMAN
OF THE RACE IS DEAD
Madam Walker Was Considering The
Wealthiest Colored Woman in
the World, and Her Fortune
Was Made, Largely Through
Judicious Advertising
tsx Associated Negro Press


New York, May 29.-Madam C. J..
Walker, business woman and philan-
thropist. regarded as the richest wO-
man of the race, died early Sunday
morning, at her beautiful home, Irving
on-On-the-Hudson.
Madam Walker took sick during a
recent visit to St Louis. There she
was attended by noted physicians, and
as soon as possible, was removed to
her home in New York, where she
was attended by her family physician,
Maj. Joseph H. Ward of Indianapolis,
recently returned from France, and
other noted specialists.
Nothing known to medical science
was left undone in order to give to
this noted and unusual woman a long
er lease on life. During the last week
however, it was seen that her case
was beyond medical aid, and the end
was looked forward to both by her
friends and relatives. Madam Walker
sank into coma on Thursday, and nev.
er regained consciousness. Her end
was peaceful.
The funeral is arranged for Friday,
and will be one of the largest ever
held in the city. Numbers of the rep
resentatives of Madam Walkers firm
from various parts of the country are
in the city to do her homage. The
kilograms of coincidence have been
received from distinguish persons all
over this country, and many other
parts of the world. The entire ar
rangements for the funeral are in the
hands of Madam Walkers attorney,
F. B. Ransom, of Indianapolis.
1t is understood that the gigantic
business left by Madam Walker will
be carried on by her only daughter,
Mrs. Leila RobinsonWalker, a young
woman of unusual business accomp-
lishments.
Madam c. J. Walker has left leg
acy to the Race in business and phil
anthropy that may well be at once
an inspiration and example to all.
Born little over fifty years ago in
Vicksburg,. Miss. her early life was
spent practically in poverty. Not
many years ago she began the manu-
facture of hair preparations, and in
a short time there was a demand from
all sections of the country. Madam
Walker for some time was undecided
where to establish headquarters. She
was in Pittsburgh, Cleveland and other
points for a time, and finally selected
Indianapolis, which is yet the home
office of the business. Much of the
success of the business is due to the
fact that early Madam Walker saw
the great Importance of advertising
judiciously, regardless of expense, and
this has been continued. Just recent
ly an international campaign Of adver-
tising was begun.
Her charities and philanthropies al
so date from her early successes in
business. She startled the country a
few years ago by giving $1,000 to-
wards the erection of the Indianapolis
Y. M. c. A. Since then Madam Walk
er has been generous donor, and
much of her good work is unknown
to the world. For years she has kept
a number of young people in Tuskegee
Institute and other schools. Her last
big public gift was just a few weeks
ago, when she sent her. check for
$4,000 towards fund to fight lynch.

In the first two named states, col
ored population is greater than the
white, but nevertheless in the whole
south is seen the effort of the whites
to evade military service and send the
colored brother to fight in their stead
hoping that he would be killed off and
not return, or else aiming to stay at
home themselves and get rich from
war profiteering.
The South stands today disgraced
before the rest of the country as a
pussyfooter and a Stacker. Paraphras-
ing President Wilson's famous state
ment, they were "too cowardly to
fight" The democratic administra-
tion is responsible that this section of
the country was allowed to shift It's
bounden patriotic duty.
Like in all secrets, information is
beginning to filter through that no
section in the whole country has prof
tied from the war as the South. With
the democrats in power and Southern
senators and representatives having
their hands on the steering wheels of
the government, armed with war time
authority, the South has proceeded to
feather it's own nest openly Two

Even Among

The advantage Of such wide popu-

upon both the articulate and shadow
stages, where he has been recognized
for many seasons as the most gifted
OF the younger romantic actors, was
clearly demonstrated during the pro-
duction of his first individual starring
vehicle, "The Perfect Lover" to be
seen at CrandalPs Metropolitan and
Knickerbocker Theaters for the first
times today.
For one of the GORGEOUS ballroom
scenes an especially. brilliant effect
was desired in order to lend complete
reality to the pastiming Of society at
a dazzling costume ball. Use Of the
ballroom in the home OF one of New
York's most exclusive multi-million-
aires was sought.
Although the producing- firm
brought every influence at its COM
mand to bear secretly, permission to
make the scene could not be obtained.
BY merest good luck Mr.. O'Brien, busy
with the preliminary scenes Of the
picture. and not consulted by those
planning the later episodes in the
story, caught wind Of the project, and
At once set in motion another secret
undertaking. Within twenty-four
hours he had secured and turned over
to Ralph Ince, directing the picture
for Selznick, written permission to
make use Of the interior of one of
the most fashionable homes in the me-
